Expert• Believe That It Is Impossl- F ble to Exterminate Them. The New London brigantine Rosa Baker reported last fall that she had not caught a single whale during her summer's cruise to the south Atlantic. t More recently an American whaler has been sold for debt at a southeru port, her search for whale oil having proved au utter failure. Some writers have inferred from these facts that the • sperm whale and other varieties hunt- - ed chiefly for their o11 are becoming utmost as scarce as the Greenland . right whale, which is valued mostly for its bone. This inference does not seem to be warranted by any known facts, says • the New York Sun. No conclusion can be drawu from the failure of south At- lantic whaling for a season or two ex- cept the obvious fact that the sperm wbale has temporarily withdrawn from one of its accustomed haunts. But this is an old story which whalers, after centuries of experience, cannot explain, though they have often been perplexed and annoyed by their failure to find the animals where they thought they had a right to expect them. It is easy to explain the great diminu- tion of the right whale in the far north and its practical extermination in ant- arctic waters. The right whale visits coastal waters to give birth to its young, and it niay be expected at well known periods. -"the whaler haunts the coasts where 'the right whale is likely to appear in the calving season, and the causes of the decline of the whalebone Industry are precisely those that have depleted the herds of fur seals overhunted, as they have been, at their breeding grounds or while on their way to them. -jut the sperm whale breeds in the deep, sea, and its range is the whole waste of waters so far as they are of suitable temperature and afford the feed required. Nobody knows why at times they seem to abandon their usual haunts and scatter far and wide. The sperm whale has no doubt been overhunted at times on some of its fa- vorite grounds. But the animal has not been overhunteci anywhere since the introduction of/mineral oil made sperm oil less important on the mar- kets, and there is no reason to believe that the sperms whale is an exception to the fact which fisheries experts be- lieve applies to all deep sea fauna and that it is practically impossible to ex- teriRinste them. The Certificates f hued by Uncle Sam • Are Simply Vouchers of C1tisenship and Evidence of the Holder's Rtgh to Our Protection. "Passports are not requ red in Eu rope," said the chief of to passport bureau of the depa$tnt of state "That is to say, a passport is not need ed to secure -admission to any o e countries except Russia and Turk Should the tourist intend to remain at any particular place ou the -continent for a,- long time, should he intend to -take up a temporary residence or en- gage in usiness forinstance, then he • is called on to establish his iden- s tity, and tl s can best be done by, ans of a h •sport. The present pasa- tirt is not the old passport of interna- tional law. That was a safe conduct to a man, with permission to go through a country, given by the ruler of that eountry. It then became a paper given by a sovereign to a person about to en- ter upon a voyage requesting the sov- ereigns of -the countries to be visited to permit Lim to enter. The language used in our passports now is to let the person to whom it is issued 'pass free-. ly and to give him all lawful aid and protection.' "As a matter of fact, the American passport bas never been issued to a foreigner to travel In this country, as a passport bas never been required here except in brief periods ^and limited ares during wartimes. The passports ch are being issued now are certifi- cates of American •c, unship and an evidence of the person •ho holds one to the right of American protection. The only real passports, in the old interna- 'tlonal law sense, that the department of state has ever issued were sent to Mr. Polo, the Spanish minister, and Lord Sackville, the British minister. They were addressed to officers of the United States, giving safe conduct to the bearers, and were merely a formal- ity, basing -no weight at all, because anybody is free to travel in the United States so long as he does not violate the law. Occasionally a foreign min- ister about to go away on leave asks for and receives from the department one of these safe conducts, but they are rare and have not numbered three in three years. "The ordinary passport issued by other governments is similar to that which we give our citizens, both in wording and purpose. Some foreign countries before recognizing the valid- ity of a passport require that a vise be affixed. denoting that it has been ex- amined and is authentic. The vise in some cases must be attached In the country where the passport is issued by a diplomatic or consular officer of the government requiring it, some- times simply by such officer anywhere and then again at times at the fron- tier of the country to which admission is sought. Should an American citizen, either native or naturalized, require a passport or identification while abroad he has the right to call upon the near- est American diplomatic or consular officer for it. "It is safe for an Amerman citizen to visit any country of Europe, provid- ed he has not violated the laws in a.i y of thein. In those nations where mili- tary service is required of subjects a native emigrating tq the United States and taking up citizenship here is free to return, provided he has not been summoned to perform the service at the time he departed. but no natural- ized citizen can return to his mother country with impunity. If he violated any of the laws, deserted from the army, etc., he will probably be appre- hended by the parent government upon his return, and the passport will not protect hint, because 'a man cannot avoid punishment for the infringement of the laws of one country by becom- ing a citizen of another. Russia, Tur- key and, in a less degree, Italy and Switzerland adhere to the doctrine of perpetual allegiance. Switzerland and Italy do not commonly assert it against subjects who have become naturalized citizens of the United States. The de• paartment of state has bad prolonged c•o ? spondence protesting against the attude of -Turkey and -Russia, but has been unable so far to secure the desir- ed concessions. "Our laws, you know, do.pot extend beyond the jurisdiction of this govern- -meut, and while we may by statute pr laity the right of expatriation we cannot enforce it in either Russia or Turkey. The czar of Russia and the sultan of Turkey, when our citizens enter their domains, have to be con- sulted concerning this divine right. The tendency of all modern interna- tional intercourse is in favor of its recognition, but that will do one little good should he be arrested in Russia or Turkey and- thrown into jail. There he may, it is true, reflect upon his di- vine right and also upon his actual in- carceration. As a matter of fact, nei- ther Russia nor Turkey carries Its power to an extreme. It frequently happens that a naturalized citizen re- turning to his home in either country is apprehended and thrown into prisoil. Things are made uncomfortable for Ian for awhile, and be is subsequently released with a warning. His experi- ence is a sufficient lesson to warn oth- ers never to return, and thus the pur- pose of the czar and the sultan is ae- complished."—Chicago Record. He Called Himself a Meteor.

Consul tienerat Guenther, at Frank- fort, reports to the state department that railway and steamship companies in Germany are experimenting with the use of oil for Nei, and the merits of oil fired locomotives and steamers are being thoroughly investigated. Benzine and gasoline are also used to furnish motive power for many differ- ent purposes. A benzine worked loco- motive has been running in the Iiatto- wltz coal district for over a year and has performed its work most satisfac- torily. About 22 pounds of benzine is consumed daily, and this, with tbe re- maining daily expenses, brings the daily cost of a benzine locomotive to $1.80. The locomotive has a hauling capacity of about 120 metric tons, making the cost of hauling per ton 1 cents, as against 2 5-6 cents with horses. The experiments in oil, benzine and gasoline as motive powers have so far, according to the consul, been encourag- ing to a degree, and it is claimed that liquid Suel will soon to a great extent supplant the use of coal for manufac- turing purposes in Europe. Brazil's Surgical Ant. The native Brazilian, far removed, as he usually is, frotn+dectors and sur- geons, depends upon a little ant to sew up his wounds when he is slashed or scratched. This odd creature is called the surgi- cal ant, from the use to which it is put. The ant has two strong nippers on his head. They are his weapons for battle or forage. When a Brazilian bas cut himself, for example, he, picks up an ant, presses the nippers ainst the wound, one on each side, an then gives the insect a squeeze. The indignant ant snaps its nippers together, piercing the flesh, and bring- ing the lacerated parts close together. The Brazilian at that moment gives the ant's body a jerk, and away it flies, leaving the nippers imbedded in the flesh. Of course this kills the ant, built has served its most useful purpose in life. The operation is repeated with other ants until the wound is sewed up neat- ly and thoroughly. Artificial Ivory. A process has recently been patented In 'Germany for making an artificial ivory from the bones of animals, in which the following fare the main Steps: Bleaching the b nes in any con- venient manner, re oval of fats by soaking In benzine(reduction of bone to a coarse powder or into narrow strips by sawing, boiling in a small amount of water, packing while bot into heated molds and applying pres- sure, whereby the separate pieces are made to reunite into one solid mass.

The priucipa per '�ly infple, but there is a ce in knac abo the thing that I have n er kn wn a, white man to fully acquire. "When a native in one 6f the broiling hot little villages of interior Nicaragua wants to cool some water, she fills a half gallon earthenware jar about two- thirds full. Parenthetically I say 'shy( because this is a task that equines more energy than any male Nicara- guan was ever known to possess. The jar is made ofaked'clay, and, not be- ing glazed, is partially porous and soon becomes moist on the outside. Two leather straps are firmly attached to the neck, and, seizing these in her hands, she begins to rotate the jar swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide open, but Centrifugal action keeps the liquid from flying out. "The average native woman is frail and listless in appearance, but the en- durance which they exhibit at this sort of calisthenics is marvelous. It is about the same as swinging Indian clubs, and I am afraid to say how long I have seen them keep it up, lest Sou might set me down as a prize liar. Generally, the lord and master lies in one corner of their 'jacal,' or hut, smoking a eigarette and watching the operation languidly. When the wom- an thinks the water is sufficiently cool, she stops with a dexterous twist of the wrist and hands him the jar. "Usually he takes a gulp, growls out, 'M:oocha calors!' which is native pa- tois for blamed bot,' and she begins again; patiently describing pinwheels. I have never made a -test with a they mometer, but I assure you they can re- duce tepid water to the temperature of a very cool mountain spring."—New Orleans Times -Democrat. An OoJan Hotel. Some idea of what a big hotel a transatlantic liner is may be gained from the following from Ainslie's Mag- azine: "Everything about the kitchen of a great steamship is on a most elab- orate scale. The range weighs many tons; the various soup caldrons are constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves are baked by the hundred, joints roast- ed by the dozen, each in a separate and specially constructed compartment. To serve the meals thousands of plates, pieces of silver, cups and saucers and napkins are required, and the average brtakage in the galley of a big ship amounts to a barrel of china every day. "The amount of stores required for a single voyage by a great liner is com- parable only to the commissariat of an army. Here are a few figures furnish- ed by the chief steward of one of the big German ships from the order sheet for a recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh beef, five tons of lamb and veal, 3,500 head of chickens, ducks, geese and game, four tons of salted meats. 1,000 dozens eggs, three tons of sugar, 100 barrels of flour, 700 bushels of pota- toes, 21 tons of butter, 2,00(1 quarts of milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. Of course this is not an exhaustive list, but it will serve to give an idea of the enormous appetite which the store- rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy." The greatest of all human benefits, that, at least, without which no other benefit can be truly enjoyed, is inde- pendence.—Parke Godwin. "Frlea■.eed Nightmare." God has given us a capacityyto enjoy food. That. is not the principal object in eating. One -goes to a dinner and after eating ail that he really desires and more ttian is beneficial thinks he will add a little of the compounds they call dessert -the invention of the dev- il—and becomes uncemfortable and wretched. Most of the desserts we have might be called "fricasseed night- mare" or "escaloped indigestion." Eat- ing becomes idolatry if it becomes un- fitting for higher service. It is a crime to gorge and be uncomfortable or to Induce a headache. I once attended a dinner at the invitation of a parish- ioner and was asked to accompany a lady to the table. I did not need to eat, but I offered to help ber to what- ever she desired, and she asked for chicken salad, remarking, "It always giveseme a wretched headache, but I am going to have some," and I replied, "Then you may help yourself, for I will not."—Address by Dr. Pierson. When Poor We ng Is Best. A popular author whose handwriting was none of the best used to maintain that it was a mattor of principle with him not to write too well. He declared that for the use of printers, good hand- writing was only a snare and a delu- sion, teuding4o encourage carelessness end mistakes on their part. The com- positors, he asserted, were compelled to devote their very best care and at, tention to bad handwriting, with the result that, when it was deciphered, it was so fixed in their minds that it was impossible for them to set it up in- correctly. He therefore declared that the worst handwriting was the best for the printers.—Truth. Paasled.

A consul in the West Indies wrote home stating that his health in that climate was bad and asking for a transfer. At that time thele happened to be a vacancy in northern Sweden, and to it the astonished and dismayed consul was transferred instanter by Mr. Everts. It was not what he had bargained for, and, as an icebound winter was a change that would have meant translation for him to another sphere; the secretary finally relented and gave him a berth elsewhere. At one time in the department of state a new elevator man had been 'em- ployed who did not know Mr. Everts by sight. In his car was a conspicuous sign to the effect that by order of the secretary of state smoking was prohib- ited. Late in the day the secretary boarded the car in company with a fa- mous senator, the latter smoking a ci- gar. The new man promptly touched the smoker on the elbow and said, pointing at the notice, "Can't you, ad that sign?" Mr. Everts promptly tyre down the offending notice and, turning- ..• to the elevator man, said: "What sign? I don't see any." The attendant, sus- pecting something, wisely held bis peace, but he followed the pair out and asked the guard at the door who the little chap with the large head was. The guard told him.—New York Tribune. Swallowed His Destination.

We approve and commend the wisdom and patriotism of President McKinley as shown by the trying duties which have been imposed upon him by war and inter- national complications. His services to this country at home and abroad have shown him to be a true American patriot and an upright statesman, and deserving 6 . or the greatest confidence of his country- men; we pledge our enthusiastic and untiring efforts to secure the election of William McKinley and Theodore Roose- velt. We commend the valor and bravery of our.,soldiers and -sailors and express our greatest alnpreciation of their defense of America and American principles. We commend the republican congress for establishing a sound system of finance which makes the, American dol- lar. whether it be metal or paper, -worth one hundred- cents 10 any country in the world. Realizing 'the •inljury to commerce and legitimate -business imposed upon people by illegitimate combinations which are commonly known as trusts, we hereby declare ourselves opposed' to them and favor such legislation as will bring them under proper control. We also favor the placing on the_ free list of any `article which is controlled by trusts. Recognizing the fact that the neces- siti- for neiking provisions for a war has I:asSed.

The laws relating to .pensions should be liberal and liberally administered.

Stella Telf.ord, a duet by Misses Gladys and Georgia Ingalls, and a quartette consisting of Mrs. M. R. Paradis, Mrs. E. J. Ingalls, Mrs. Jennie H. Fitch, and Miss Goldie E. Ingalls., The Collection Speech by Elsie Joh son, of Hastings, was a pleasing feature. The closing hymn, God be with you -till we Meet Again, was then sung, and the benediction pronounced. The delegates were handsomely en- tertained and seemed much pleased with their visit to our city. The following are the resolutions adopted: • With flrm faith In God who has helped us hitherto, as we look back upon the lessons of the past and forward to the work of the future, be it resolved: 1. Our chief aim is to arouse the people of this highly favored land to such a sense of danger from the encroach- ments of that greatest of all monopolies, the licensed liquor traffic, and to such a realization of moral obligation that in- stead of fostering they will overthrow it. 2. The occasion of new territory makes it incumbent upon our government to suppress th'trafc which will inet)k ably demoralize the people over whom it exercises a protectorate, will hinder the progress of chrtstianity.and call for ii con- tinual expenditure of blood -and of treas- ure. ' 3. .Our work is educational, moral, and religious, and we will endeavor sto carry it forward -by practical methods, standing always "for the right as God gives us to see the right." 4. Recognizing the unity of all efforts to uplift humanity and the kinship to all forms of evil, we will utilize the strength which lies in union to advance the cause of sacial purity and to spread abroad the doctrines of the Prince of Peace. 5. In view of the growing evil of Sab- bath desecration we will do what we can to discourage attendance upon Sunday excursions and Sunday base ball games and to have such' nuisances, suppressed wherever it is possible. 6. We rejoice that the Federation of Labor in our state excluded from its membership se representatiye of the liquor dealer's association sad adopted a woman suffrage resolution. We trust that this brave organization will under- stand that our work for Sabbath obaerJ- auce is one in which we can claim their co-operation, sinceif the sanctity, of the Sabbath were set aside- for amusements, it would'not long remain as a day of rest to the working man. 7. We regret that the Fourth of July, instead of being set apart for the develop- ment of patriotism and noble aspiration as in the days of our fathers. ' is being turned into a festival of lawlessness. 8. We favor the election of men whose conscience will compel them to oppose the army canteen with its attendant demoralization. 9. We deem it a wise expeuditure of effort to make the work of our unions as attractive as self culture cub work and thereby gain stew co-workers for tem- perance. 10. We recommend that the ladies of all unions use their influence and exam- ple to bring about the custom of retWts•- ing ladies' hats in public assemblies. 11. We extend our heartiest thanks to our sisters of the Hastings Union and all those who have assisted them in giving generous eptertainment to the convention, to the mayor Sind' the clergy for their kindly welcome, to'the trustees of the Presbyterian Church for the use of their beautiful and commodious building, to the singers for their sweet tribute of song. and to all who have contributed to suc- cess of our annual meeting. At LeSneur, last week, the repub- licans of the third congressional dis- trict did just what every one wanted and expected them buds), . nominated the Hon. J. P. Heatwole to succeed himself as member of congress from this district by a unanimous vote. There was no other, name mentioned in the , convention. Now the people of his district will turn oat and elect him by a larger' majority than ever before. The Ledger bases this opin- ion on the fact that the first time he was elected by over two thousand, the second by nearly four thousand, and the third by nearly six thousand. Continuing this ratio, this time his majority ought to be over eight thou- sand, for he has kept right on in the faithful performance of duty, gain- ing in influenee and adding promi- nence to the district which he repre- sents. It is sueh men that the American people delight to honor, and it is such men as J. P. Heatwole, whe never get too large to remember that they are servants end not masters of the people. No one, not even the democratic managers, pretend to doubt his re-election, and the proba- bility is that the opposition will bake but a feeble resistance, preferring to make its fight where there is a better show of winning. -Litchfield News Ledger. Congressman Heatwole's renomi- nation by acclamation at LeSueur last week is only another indication of the popularity which is the North- beld man's. And his nomination is likewise an evidence that the people of.,he third district are like their republican friends of the other dis- tricts, they recognize -the advisability of returning to congress men who have served them well and who have acquired an influence in national councils and affairs.-llutchinsen Times. The Fourth of Jniy. Wednesday was every unpleasant day, hot andrmliggy, consequently the celebration in this city was con- siderably curtailed. It was altogether an impromptu affair, hardly calculat- ed to cope with the thermometer ranging in the nineties. The parade' was headed by the Military Band, and consisted of Pel - ler Post No. 89, mayor and city coun- cil in carriages, fire department, four- teen members of Minnetonka Tribe No, 36 in uniform mounted on ponies, W. R. Mather, binder, H. M. Kingston, mower and gang plow, and two wagons containing ,fartac..„young ladies, with Miss Alice Lovejoy as Goddess of Liberty. In the afternoon the minor sports came off on Second Street as follows: The trotting race between the horses of N. J. Steffen, of this city, and H: D. Murch, of Harahan, best' two in three, was won by the latter. The greased pole was too liberally smeared, and no one climbed it. The running race between the horses of N: W. Martin, of this city, and Charles Cook, of Denmark, best two in three, was won by the latter. Waren Webster and George Frank- lin were the riders. In the foot race, dash of two blacks, there were two entries, Will Tucker and Earl Webster, the for- mer winning. There were' four entries in til bicycle race, Andrew Anderso Fredolph Sjogren, Marion Wingle and W. T. Stuart. The first tw carried off the prizes, Anders() winning easily. The pulling match between Georg Franklin, of this city, and B. Keen,.. of Denmark, was quite closel contested, ending iu a draw. The game of base ball, Hastings v Our Minnies, was called at the fa grounds at half past three p. m., a tracting a large crowd of spectators It was a one sided -affair from star to finish. The score stood nine t nothing in six innings, being calle off old account of the rails. Carisch G., and Carisch, F., were battery fo the home nine, and Gibbs and Ken nedy and Barges for Minneapolis George Carisch struck out seven ant Kennedy one. Not ,a man of th visiting nine reached second, base W. H. Gillitt was umpire and A. A Sod scorer. The display r;f fireworks was rathe meagre, owing to the rain. The tall at the Yanz Theatre i the evening wis attended by abou sixty couples, who had an enjoyable time. NOTES. N. J.

Lorentz ran an ice cream stand at the fair grounds. The colored people had a jolly picnic at Wilcoe's Grove. ' H. K. Carson ran a wheel of for- tune at the New York Store corner. The Baptists sold ice cream at the G. A. Emerson building, Second Street. 'Th. number of visitors was not as large as expected, .owing to unfavor- able weather. The steamers Columbia and Lotus brought down large excursions from the twin cities. George Sieben and John Kimm ran an ice cream stand at the New York Store corner. R. E. Thompson; A. L. Boyd, and E. J. Jahnke ran an ice cream stand at the postoffice corner. The picnic at YanHoesen's Grove under the auspices of the Methodist Church was -quite an enjoyable affair. e n, r, 0 n e T. 3' s. it t - t 0 d e r n Base Bali.

Our New Mittens. The following second papers , have been issued since our last report: C. H. Goraason, Randolph. Carl Dahl, Eureka. A Sauey Duchess, When the "Beggars' Opera," by Gay, was produced in 1728, it took the town positivelt ` by storm. The king still clung to Handel, but the nobility, with the Duchess of Queensberry among them, flocked rapturously to the "New- gate.pastoral." The "Beggars' Opera" hid a run of 62 nights, unprecedented in those days, and as one result of its aueeese Handel became bankrupt. Sud- denly there came an order from the lord chancellor to stop the new piece. Why, is not exactly known unless it was because the prime minister con- sidered himself to be too faithfully represented therein. However that may have been, the theater had to be closed, whereupon the Duchess of Queensberry took up Gay's cause and vehemently championed it. Very busy was she in those days, driving about in herscoach asking for guinea subscriptions; for printing cop - les of the forbidden play. And so heed- less was Kitty that she carried her list to the queen's drawing room itself 'and had the audacity to ask the king for a subscription. This was a little too much, and her grace swas requested to withdraw from the court, Kitty an- nouncing, with characteristic compo- sure,that the command was very agree- able to her, as she had never gone there for her own diversion, but to bestow civility upon the kink and queen. -Good Words. English Cabinet Secrets. Secrets of state are probably the best kept of all secrets. When cabinet min- isters Ingland first are admitted to the privy,eouncii, they have to take a solemn oath not to make known the conversation or proceedings of cabinet councils or any communications they may have with the queen or with an- other minister. They cannot give a hint of such things even to the highest members of the government who are not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec- retary is allowed to be present at cabi- net councils, no written record is kept, and it is the custom not to take any notes; hence no one but the crown and the ministers ever knows what has re- allybeen said and decided at cabinet meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts to the end of life. An ex -cabinet minister is as much bound by it as an actual cabinet minister. Any conversation a minister or a peer may have with the crown on state mat- ters must also be kept secret. - So must letters to and from the soverefgn. And even communications that have passed between sovereigns and ministers of former reigns must not be divulged. But in cases of extreme urgency the crown could and would allow a breach of the oath of secrecy. Napoleon,. "Dog Teeth., "In the world's history," said a Buf- falo man, "there are three characters who in the popular mind stand pre -em- inent -Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon. Napoleon lived so near our own time as to be almost within the memory.of living men, and there are plentyt men today in France who hoard of Napoleon Yrnm their fathers, who lived in the stirring times connect- ed with his name. "There is a curious fact In connec- tion with Napoleon's personal appear- ance that I have never been able to find mention of in any of the biogra- phies, and that is that two upper front teeth were very long and lapped over the lower ones to an unusual extent, giving him a most peculiar appearance when smiling. These teeth -the two upper incisors, on either side of the meslel plane -ordinarily form a line that meets" with the corresponding teeth in the lower jaw, but In Napo- leon's case they overlapped. This in- formation cane to my father directly from the son' of Napoleon's dentist, who made a memorandum of the fact." -New York Tribune. t• Summer Training School. Notice is hereby given to the teachers of Dakota County that the training school for the county will be held ih the high school building, in the city of Hast- ings. commencing July 9th, 1900.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in• flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

This is bow she came to me— With tremulous throbbing of her throat, With lips that shook uncertainly And breast that fluttered like a bird, With eves where ]pie was all afloat And Vbice the sweetest ever heard. In all the world were only we, And this is how she came to me. This is how she went away— With still hands folded on her breast, So like a little child might pray, With silent lips laid clew and sweet And smiling to me through her rest, white lilies laid about her feet, The promise of a further day, And this is how she went away. —Post `wheeler in New Yerk Pres.

"For the past six months I have been head over heels in love with Vela Fray and, what' is worse, not had the pluck to tell her so. But' she is such a peculiar girl!" he argued in self defense. "If it_wasany one else, I wouldn't hesitate a mo- ment." - Mason was ' man of about 25 and as full of passion and sentiment as a man well1 con d be. But he had been brought up in, orthodox English .style, with many sharp lessons never to betray his feelings. These lessons had been so ,-.4,..,,,..._":hammered into him in his youth that he found now that even against his own wishes It was almost impossible to show what his heal opinion was of anything that affected his likes or -dis- likes. When lie was most happy, peo- ple thought him sad,, and vice versa. It was perhaps on account of the pe- culiar way he had of looking at things that lie invariably saw the funnyside first, sometimes on the, most serious oc- casions. His passion for Vera at times made him laugh, and when on the verge of proposing to her the thought would strike him holy foolish he would look. The truth of it was he knew too much of the world, and the love affairs"of his .friends h9 appeared ridiculous to him. One of the chief attractions of Vera in -his opinion was her passive natu and it was that perhaps which ma him falter. "The idea of her being love seemed absurd to him. The week following the self co munings just recorded he knew th Vera would be at a dinner party whi 'h he had also been invited, and determined, if an occasion arose for serious talk; to have the matter s tled. How he would manage it lie d not dare to decide. Chance, he thong would have to be his guide. Mrs. Fairburn's drawing room was packed on the night sof the dinner, so much so that poor Mason's heart sank. ,If Vera did come, his opportunity for a tete-a-tete with her appeared small.

Al seemed thoroughly pleased with them selves and the world in general. It was all hour later, and he was sit ting by Vera's side in -the drawing room, ;They were enjoying an animat ed discussion on some •toplatof public interest, and no chance had so far pre seated itself. At last, in pure despera tion, Arthur blurted out during a slight fall in the tide of argument: "This room is terribly close. Shall we finish our little controversy- in the garden?" Vera was nothing loath, i, It was a lovely night. The sky was a mass ,Df twinkling stars, and the moon gave a light that one could easily read by. Such a moment seemed spe- cially ordained for lovemaking. Lovq whispered in the trees and echoed in the bushes. And yet these two still continued to disagree, as if such ro- mantic evenings were intended for the battledore and shuttlecock of social* commonplaqs. They had by now wandered to an ar- bor, and without either of them draw- ing attention to it they entered and sat down in the twat deck chairs # boasted. Vera tried tq continue the subject,.ae.t issue, but Arthur. remained s1lent!'In this wise the conversation stopped, and, each became absorbed for. the first time in the beauty and the stillness of the night. Presently, with startling abruptness, the silence was broken upon. "Vera," said Arthur, turning toward her, "•would you care to marry me?" It< was not by a - long way the - first time she had -received a similar re-- quest, for she had been vainly courted by the richest 'and highest in the coun- try—so vainly, indeed, that people were even beginning to hint of the shelf when speaking of. her—but whether it was the suddenness of the request or the personality of him who made it for o the minute hern co fuss onwas ob- vious, o vious, though luckily forler the friend- ly moon did light up this little ar- bor. Ca1sn1a rself immediately and looking quie up at her companion, Vera Wh queried: y do you ask me? You don't think I'm it; love with you, do you?" "No, in fact I'm sure you are not" "Then that settles the question with- out further troul1e," said Vera, care- fully rearranging he( shawl and estab- lishing herself in a more comfortab>d s position, as if some knotty problem had justbeensolved. "Not at all, for you'haven't answered ane." - r re, de in In - at to he a et - Id ht, "You have answered yourself, thong You would hardly marry a woman who did not love you." ' r "That's one of a reasons -I'm ask- ing you," replie this cool diplomatist, slowlyli htin g a cigarette. "Then before answering," .she said, appearing to be interestedi in this strange species of proposal, "let me question you. Do you love m ?" "No, I don't" "Then why on earth do you such rubbish? How can you wish to marry me?" "Simply because neither of us is in love with the other, which shows that we are both mentally and physically in sound health." "You consider, then, that love is a disease; in fact, I suppose," she added sardonically, "a kind of disordered liver?" "Exactly. But let me put the case before you properly," said Arthur, ris- ing and walking up and down in front of her as he spoke. "You and I have been friends for 12 years and by now know each other' thoroughly. I am thankful to say I have never loved you, nor, to my knowledge, have you loved me, and It is these facts which con- vince me we should make a thoroughly congenial and happy married couple. On these grounds I again ask you, Will you marry mel' he concluded, stop- ping opposite Vera's chair. During this curious monologue the moon had traveled somewhat on its journey and now cast a pale light into the arbor—just enough to show Arthur that his fair companion's eyes were twinkling and that she was on the verge of smiling. Looking straight at hint, Vera composedly answered: "Your philosophy, dear Arthur, is ex- cellent and your case apparently fully proved, but—er—if you would not mind sitting down here," nodding toward the empty chair at her side, "hold my hand and look me full in the face and then tell me that you are not head over t heels in love with me I will believe that for the last five minutes you have r been speaking, as they say in courts, a the truth, the whole truth and nothing b but the truth." t Arthur felt dazed. IIe sat down and took his pretty companion's hand. He P observed it was beautifully soft He looked into her eyes. He noticed they c had in them a light he had never seen before and that on her face was a smile and an expression that could have but one interpretation, and he fal- tered. h, /MUTILATION WITHOUT PAIN the posterior half shows those squirm ing and jerking tneveenents which seem to lndirate pain; the anterior half (con- taining the brain) crawls ordinarily away. If each of these halves he halved, again the posterior segment of each squirms, while the anterior Wives crawl away.. This same process may be continued with precisely ' like re- sults until the pieces are no longer large enough to crawl Independently. Professor Norman's explanation of this striking phenomenon is that the worm has tl+o sets of muscular fibers, one longitudinal, causing the squirm- ing and jerking movements, and the other circular, which produces the crawling. No good reason, however, has yet been found to explain why in the posterior segments the former set should be initially stimula ed- and in the anterior the latter set. If a swim- ming leech be cut in two, both parts after a pause swim off as if nothing had happened. Other species of worms seem to indicate the same results of mutilation, the anterior or brain part being regularly that undisturbed by the extraordinary stimulus. The ab- domen of a hermit crab may be cut In wo without more than "a very slight espouse" from any remaining mov- ble organ.

The British bark Galgate, Captain Griffiths, a big four master, made a record breaking run on her voyage from Shanghai to the mouth of the Co- lumbia, covering the distance from buoy to buoy in. 27 days.

New Thermometer. A mercury thermometer for high tem- peratures has been designed in Germa- ny. It con:tists of a small cylindrical receiver of steel closed at one end. - At this end a capillary tube of steel one- quarter millimeter internal diameter is connected. This tube can be made of any length up to 50 yards, so that the indications of the Instrument can be seen at a considerable distance from the place of which the temperature is required to be known. The capillary tube is connected to another • small, flattened tube which is wound in the form of a spire!. The whole of these tubes and the cavity are completely filled with mercury. The heating of the small cylindrical receiver then causes the spiral to dilate and to un- twist. One end of the spiral being held and the other fixed to a suitable gear- ing, the indication of the temperature can beiv g en on a dial which can be seen for a considerable distance.—Lon- don Engineer.

While Lord Kitchener was engaged in suppressing the Prieska rebellion he ordered the' destruction of a certain farmhouse. Not seeing any signs of his orders being carried out, he rode over with his staff and found an inter- esting situation. In the doorway of the doomed farm- house stood a pretty young Dutch girl, her hands clasping the doorposts and her eyes flashing fire from beneath her dainty sijinbonnet. The Irish sergeant in charge of the party of destruction was vainly endeavoring to persuade her to let them pass in, but to all his blai}dishments of "Arrah darlint, wisha Row. acushla," etc., the maiden turned a deaf ear, and a deadlock prevailed: Kitchener's sharp "What's this?" put a climax to the scene. The girl evidently guessed that this was the dreaded chief of staff, and her lips trembled in spite of herself. Kitchener gazed sourly at her, stand- ing bravely though tearfully there, and turned to his military secretary.

IsCorrect Attest: II "6771 What People May Do When the Print Gets Too high. II "If the courts fail, science may be de- pended upon to knock out the ice trusts," says a chemist in the Kansas City Star. "I venture the prediction that the average well to do family will ' be making its own ice inside the next two years. For a long time past a number of the cleverest inventors in the country have been trying to devise a small, compact ice machine with a capacity of from 50 to 500 pounds a day that can be operated by any do- mestic servant, and they have made sufficient progress to bring success clearly in view. it is an interesting fact that nearly all the remarkable im- provements which have been made in large commercial machines during the last two or three years have suggested themselves in this tireless search for a practical household apparatus. i "When I say that success is in sight, I mean thatdoll the most serious prob- lems have been solved, and the difficul- ties that remain to be overcome are purely mechanical. As a hatter of fact, four or five small machines are al- ready in the market, but none of them quite meets the requirements. The Ideal apparatus for use in cities will proba- bly obtain its power from an incandes- cent lamp socket, just like the ordinary electric fan. The cook will fill up the receiver with water, make the connec- tion and go about her business. "There is nothing Utopian about this little forecast. Private ice plants are already. practical for very small com- mercial concerns, restaurants, confec- tioners, etc,, and the household ma-. chine is one of the advances along the, line of domestic economy to which we may loot forward with absolute confi- dence. By the way, one of the invent- ors who are pegging away at the prob- lem is a New Orleans man, and I was told lately that he had turned out a' very successful working model. I have said nothing about liquid air, because that strange product has proved so tricky and intractable that it is risky to venture any predictions as to what may or may not be done with it. An- othdr substance which has - been ex- ploited as the 'refrigerant of the fu- ture' is a so called 'freezing powder.' It is really nothing new, but an expen- sive chemical salt that is frequently used in laboratory experiments. It has no possibilities in practical operation." M. 100 MAN, County Auditor anti Ex -officio Clerk of the Board. One Front a Shot. When the siege of Paris began and festive little parties of overconfident inhabitants of the city swarmed into the suburbs to see the French outposts, there was among the latter a good deal of rivalry in the trade of laying down rugs and tarpaulins for those civilian sharpshooters who bought allots at a franc a shot at the enemy's outposts. Surgeon General Gordon, who repre- sented 'the medical department of the British army during the war, speaks, In a book heWrote, of the French out- posts making as much as 40 or 50 francs a day each by crying out, "Shots at the enemy -1 franc!" hun- dreds of their customers being women. One village, soon to be ravaged by fire and the sword, was like a fair, and the Sentries could not :.sell shots fast enough, ug for a rich` Paris tradesman was standing by offering heavy money prizes for the civilian marksmen who brought down German sentries.—New York Times. A "Woman's Rights Person." An old Virginia gentleman arose in a ear the other day and with a great flourish of his slouch hat offered his Beat to a beautiful and handsomely dressed woman. "Take my seat, madam," be politely requested. The lady demurred. "Take my seat, I beg of you, madam," he In- sisted. "I could not allow a lady to Stand, unless," he added under his breath, "she'was one of those women's tights people." The lady bristled visibly. "I," she said in a freezing tone—"I am a 'worn - tin's rights person." "Take my seat just the same, mad- am," . said the gallant old gentleman smilingly. "You are too good looking to be suspected of it if you, hadn't con- fessed."—Leslie's Weekly. One Too Many FOr Him. "Ha, hal They served that fellow tight," exclaimed Mrs. Henpeck as she finished reading the report of a bigamy case. "What is It, my dear?" asked her husband, "He was arrested and very prompt- ly jelled because he took one wife too many." - "Heavens! 1 wonder if they'll be after me next?"—Philadelohla Press. Bricks Made of Coal Dust. A Rusliian inventor utilizes coal dust bymixingit with a coarse molasses and a little resin' and working the mix- ture into bricks. These artificial lumps burn well and are being made in in- creased quantities. The briquette in- dustry is carried on to some extent in western Europe also. This is an op- portunity for some enterprising New Yorker to size up the situation in the Pennsylvania coalfields and make some practical use of the thousands of tons,- of coal dust scattered in waste heaps at the mouth of the mines. Removing Superfluous Hair. Dr. Neville Wood records in an Eng- • lish medical journal a case in which a large overgrowth of hair on a woman's face was removed by applying the X rays. The period of exposure was limited to ten minutes, and this took place ten times in one week, the face and neck being protected with a lead foil mask, except where the rays were Intended to fall. The distance between the vacuunrtube and the skin was be- tween six and seven inches. Five am- peres of current were used at a rate of interruption of about 300 a second. After the rays had been applied 14 times the darker hairs appeared to be losing some of their color, and after an- other week they obviously lessened in dumber. They began to be brittle and pale in color and the skin began to slightly redden. After 45 exposures the whole of the very thick and downy growth had dlkap17eared, except nine hairs, which defied" Iestruction for a. least a week after the total removal of the others. After the Treatment was stopped only a few thick hairs return- ed, and these were easily removed by the well known process of the elec- trical needle. Dr. Wood differs from a great many X ray experts in be- lieving that the X ra4.. treatment can be adopted without either pain or,dis- fi urement.

Roux ap- plies the results of his geological study of the Lyonese mountainsan inter- pretation of the peculiarities/ of the re- gion, not only climatic, economic and hygienic, but also as regards the fauna and flora. Ile comes to the conclusion that the absence of calcareous salts has an undeniable influence on the ani- mal life. The fauna of a silecious re; gion is less vigorous, less rich, leis va- ried in species, less abundant int indi- viduals than a calcareous region. ; This is particularly true as regards mol- lusks, certain kinds of insects, crusta- ceans and worms, but it also affects vertebrate forms. The essay is a most interesting one in its detailed attempt to correlate geological and biological facts. Koch's Researches on Malaria. In the report just published on his study of malaria in Italy Professor Koch says the infection of malaria is especially maintained and propagated by the relapsing cases which continue all the year round and form the link between one fever season and the next, so that the mosquitoes in the beginning of summer always find germs. If no relapse occurred in any of the cases of malaria in anygiven district, the mos- giiitoes would find no germs in the be- ginning of summer, and malaria would become extinct there. The professor ascertained that the so called aestivo- autumnal fevers were identical with tropical malaria. Grass Furniture. A new industry that has developed recently to rather important propor- tions, says The Patent Record, is the making of furniture from grass, which is now being extensively carried on ink many of the n trthwestern states.

When Jim Bridger, the famous scout of the plans, grew old, be thought he would like to retire from the somewhat arduous life of a plainsman and settle down to the ease of "the east," w ich to him meant Missouri. So he used his best endeavor to find a competent man to fill his place and went back to Mis- souri. A year or two passed, and ono day Captain Russell, the commandant of the post which Bridger had left, was surprised to see the old scout heave in sight. When he came in, the cap- tain asked: "Well, Bridger, what brings you back here?" "Captain," said Bridger, "I want to go back to scouting again." "Indeed? Why, r thought you had settled down in the east for the rest of your.life!" "Well, cap'n, I'll tell you how it is. I went back to old Missoura, and if you'll believe it they've got a railroad station within ten mile o' the old place -yes, sir, a railroad station! And what's more, they've got a ranch now in every four mile. I tell you what, cap'n, the air ain't pure down there no more!" "Is that possible? But I thought you'd like the good things to eat they have down there. You like good things to eat, I remember." "Good things to eat! Why, cap'n, 1 didn't have a br'lled beaver tail the whole time I was there!"—Youth's Companion. - Elephant Stories. Talking of elephant fables, the ani- mal trainer said: "Take, for instance, the story of the elan who stuck a pin in the elephant's trunk and years afterward was del- uged with dirty water by the remem- bering elephant. I am surprised that any one should take this yarn serious- ly. Why, the average thickness of the elephant's hide runs from half an inch to two inches deep. Now, imagine a pin going through that thickness on an errand of pain. It would swallow a pin and break a needle. "The old fashioned elephant story that has any real basis of truth Is the one that makes the big brute afraid of a mouse. Experience in the winter quarters of a show, where mice and rats thrive, convinces one of this fact. A mouse will make an ,entire Iferd noisy' with fright, and a rat will put them in a condition of desperate fear. An elephant may defend itself against a lion, tiger or any other natural ene- my, but the insignificant size of a mouse baffles his conception of offen- sive or defensive warfare. The mouse is too quick to be crushed underfoot or to be caught by his trunk, and it can scamper over his rough hide with Impunity. The elephant realizes his helplessness against such a diminutive foe and learns to fear it as he fears•no other animal -"—Buffalo Express. Little Willie Ate Everything. Until they are trained to eat properly youngsters are usually like little pig- gies. They "root through everything and leave a muss after them. Willie, 6 years old, has a pair of parents who try to break him of the habit of tak- ing things on his plate that he cannot eat and leaving much to go to waste, He is in a fair wayyeto improve under their watchfulness. "You must eat the crust, too, Willie," hf§ mamma will say, and Willie will dutifully eat the crust. "Don't take such a large piece of cake, Willie, unless you can eat it," his papa will say, and Willie will take it and stufrhimself with it rather than leavee/a crumb for his father to grdm-bi"e about. , The other day Willie was invited to a birthday party. His mother dres'1Sed him in his best clothes. "Now, mind, Willie," was the last thing she said to him; "eat everything you take on your Nate." Willie came home that evening with severe pains.

One night In 1776 the Duke of Gloucester, the royal brother of George III, then hiding from his kingly broth- er's wrath in Paris, was regaling a ta- ble party of aristocrats at the expelibte of the king of Eugland with a trench- ant account of the "Boston tea party." His cynical syinpathy was expressed for the American rebels, and he dwelt upon their need for recruits to fight against his brother. The table laugh- ed at the tale, which was the first the most of them had heard directly on the preposterous ambitions for freedom of the new world colonists. Among the company was a silent, solemn young soldier who had listened intently to the recluse until the dinner was finish- ed. Then lie strode :.cross tae room to the duke. "I will join the Americans! I will help them fight for freedom! Tell me how to set about it!" he cried, his sal- low, listless face now aglow with a fire none of his idle coyirades had ever seen there before. • It was Lafayette, the 19 -year-old marquis, who was the despair of his family because he seemed always in a drowse. Coming from one of the no- blest houses of the empire, he was mar- ried to a lady of high degree and. was already a father. His wife had 'seen his love, but now freedom became the stronger passion, and for more than GO years he was to follow its cause. This was the genesis of 7.afayette.—F,dward Page Gaston in Woman's home Com- panion. Nominating a Preafdept. t Until the constitutional amendment of 1804 the president and the vice pres- ident were voted VA,on the same bal- lot, the man with the second highest number of votes becoming vice presi- dent. The presidential electors have not always been chosen by popular vote. _ Before 1800 it was the general cus- tom for the state legislatures to choose the electors, and it was not until 1828 that presidential electors were chosen in nearly all the states by popular vote. As late as 1ij6 the Colorado legislature chose the three presidential electors to represent that state. There is nothing In the constitution to prevent any state legislature naming its own electors without appeal- to the people provided such a method of election is prescribed by the state laws. 1)'iom 1800 to 182-1 presidential candi- dates were chosen by the members of congress in caucus. In 1824 the elect- oral college failed to make a choice from the candidates so submitted, and the matter went to the house of repre- sentatives. Four years later Tennes- see's legislature nominated Andrew Jackson without any rjference to the congressional caucus. His oppohent, John Quincy Adams, was nominated in the old way, but that was the end of presidential nominations by congres- Menai caucus.—New York Sun. Her Electric Spark. "Millie!"

The Confederate Veterans, in their annual convention in Louisville, decid- ed that the war of 1861-5 should be known as the "war between the states." This is the name that Alexan- der H. Stephens favored, and it is the one generally used by the people of the south is speaking of that war, the northern people calling it the rebellion. Strange it is that neither name is a cor- rect definition of the event.. All know that there was no rebellion. States that had sovereignty could not be guilty of rebellion. Neither was it a war be- tween the states, but actually a war between two governments made up of states. Some writers call it a civil war, yet it was not a war between citizens • in their civil capacity, but, as before said, a war between regularly organ- ized governments. There is, in fact, no concise way of naming the conflict; hence these misnomers. Possibly the best title would be -the , simple one of calling it by the years of its beginning and close—namely, the war of 1861-5.— Mobile Register. Her DK aged Horn.

Paying Tellers Iiave to He Models of Vigilance All the Time to Dodge the Schemes and the Schemers That Lie Ig Wait For Them. Many are the uses and the scheme that are devised for the purpose o beating the paying tellers in bank and the cranks*are as much to be fea ed as the crooks. "That old manwho has just left th bank," said thetteller as he ran hi fingers quickly over the new bills, "ha been coming toitthis'' piece every da for the past twoliyears calling for mon ey. }}I�e tomes ill;every morning exec ly aV11 o'clock andasks quietly if hi chec has "arrived. •I always have t tell him no, and he thanks me gracious ly and goes away.' I was new at th bank When he came in the first time but I sttw at a glance that he had som thing the matter' with his headgea When he asked about his money, I tol him that we had nstthing, and he look ed greatly surprised and'.worried. 11 asked many other questions and the left. He returned the next mornin and the next, and he has;been comin ever since. One day he faile to sho himself, aura I thought lie agive up the hunt as a bad thing: For month he kept away, but by and by h bobbed up serenely again. " `I've been sick,' he said,•etand I hop have not caused you any ancon venience in holding my money. N money here? What? That is strange. "With this he thanked me and wen way. He will be here again in the morning, and he'll keep coming day fter day until death sends him to a agger bank. The man is.qust a sample f what we get every day, although he s the most regular chap of tipkind I ave ever seen. The boys around the ank feel rather, superstitious now if e falls to come in, and I'll gamble hat that black porter yonder will quit is job the very first time that old man ails to make his daily visit." The teller leaned on the ' counter. Yee," he went on, "it would surprise ottl to know how many people come ere tray after day to get money when hey have absolutely no reason for eming. They have no papers on which oney can be secured, but they just ome tight along, hoping, I guess, that ome day they will hit the bank. Now, ast week- a big fellow who had evi- ently been drinking rushed in, and elled to me that be wanted $1,000. I ad never seen him before, and he ade no pretense of handing up any apers. He said he was in a big rush. realized at once that he was crazy, nd I acted quickly. Reaching back my drawer, I put my hand on my volver and waited. He did not seo e weapon. 'The vault is closed,' I aid, 'and you cannot get any money day.' With that he reached his hand his hip pocket, but I did not move. looked him squarely in th eye and cited.

I tried to find out who e man was, but failed, and he never me back to repeat the demand. "Another time I had a really danger- s cfazy man to handle, but I acted e a flash and possibly saved payin.

He Pleased the Politician Without Giving His Friend a Position. When Mr. Putnam was the head of the Public library in Boston, a ward leader of that city called on him to rec- ommend a henchman for a place in the library. There was no reason why the libra- rian should not *aye refused at once and peremptorily to appoint him, but he chose to follow another course. After a few minutes' talk with the politician Mr. Pptnam asked him whether he had ever been through all the depactmente of the institution. "I never have, but I'd like to see it," replied the politicitj,Q "It will give me much pleasure to go with you," 'said Mr. Putnam. Mr. Putnam took him behind the counters and through the building from top to bottom, explaining the character and the magnitude of the work in detail. He further pointed oat, without seeming to do so, the varied duties of the employees and the attain- ments they must possess to do the work. When the tour was ended, Mr. Pulham said: "I'm pleased to have had a chance to show the library to you, and if your frena will 011 out an application blank and send it, and if he passes the neces sary examination, I think there will be no difficulty in placing his name on the waiting list." The politician, however, had seen enough of library work to convince him that his constituent could find no place on the staff, and the blank was never filled out. But to the day hp left .Boston Mr. Putnam had no warmer ad- mirer in that city than this same ward leader. -Collier's Weekly. The Banyan Tree. In the fruiting season the banyan tree Is an arbor for the feathered crea- tion, rewtion, and a rude temple is often set up under or close to its shade, at which the wayfarer stops to cook a meal more frequently than to offer a prayer. These sacred trees, with their grateful shade, are common in every part of India, and are confined to the tropical zone. As timber they are of no value, but gumlac is obtained from their juice, and the bark is used by the Hin- doos medicinally. , Remedy For Cockroaches. In a bulletin of the United States de- partment of agriculture Dr. Howard gives a simple remedy for cockroaches, which will be interesting to hdusekeep- ere in many parts of the world. The remedy is of Australian origin and consists of a mixture of flour and plas- ter of paris, which is greedily eaten by these insect pests and rapidly "sets" in their stomachs. Philadelphia, Baltimore . and Wash- ington are red brick cities, red brick being the predominating building ma- terial. In Washington the sameness is relieved by the granite public buildings and marble business structures. HOW TO LIKE WAGNER. Scenic Accessories Are Necessary to a Perfect Realisation. The strict Wagnerite refuses to hear the music of his favorite composer in the concert room. It was never intend- ed, he will tell you, to be performed- by itself, but to be played as an eccompa- niment to the action, for the purpose of heightening the effect of the intense- ly dramatic situations coupled with gorgeous stage pictures that are in- separable from Wagner's famous art work. The most important part of aWag- her opera, according to the composer himself, is not the music, but the drama, which, indeed, the beginner should closely follow with the aid of the book of words, since the music is usually sung in German words. The intending Wagnerite ‘hould also begin with the master's most popular works, "Tannhauser" and "Lohengrin." He will then at once recognize thq, fa- millar music he has already heard, so often at cOncerts, and, struck, by its beauties, he will attend many perforr6 ances of these two. Next year he will want to hear these again, supplement- ed by "Tristan and Isolde," that won- derful music drama so charged with intense emotion and passion. Having heard "Tristan" and liked it, he there- upon becomes a full fledged Wagnerite in the true sense, and -the season after he attends performances of the "Ring der Nibelungerr," or he may make a supremeeffort to get to. Baireuth. From Baireuth he .returns he ardent disciple of a musician whosl. name lie terrifies his friends by pronouncing in the German fashion, not Wagner, but "V aachkner."-London Mexican Letter Writers. Perhaps there is no more character- istic sight in Mexico than thio called "evangelistas'-" who ply their trade in the-Plazuela de Belem and the Plazue- la of Santo Domingo: Those who oper- ate in the 'former spot make a specialty .of writing letters to the inmates °PIM prison for their illiterate relatives on the outside, but the "evangelistavi' who may be seen any day in the Piazuela of Santo Domingo do a general business. They write love letters, blackmailing letters and all sorts of letters for thos who do not know how to write at a rate of 3, 6, 9 or more cents, according to the length of the missive. They also un ertake without extra charge to w5ite a address on the envelope and to a ach the required stamp, but for the atter they make an extra charge of a cent. It ?s hardly necessary to state that oglyj very ignorant people, who are tots ly unacquainted even with the simple formalities of -mailing a letter in addition to - not knowing how to write, have recourse to the evangelistas for stamps.- Mexican Herald. Progressive Spain. - In his book, "Temperate chile: a Pro- gressive Spain," Mt.. Anderson Smith of the Scottish fishery board shows the almost pathetic struggle of high cul- ture with barbarism in southern Chile. Luxurious Pullman cars land the pas- sengers in the midst of literial th- less forests, through - which a track must be cut before a horse can pass._ Yet wires faxed to the trees allow of telegraphic and telephonic communi- cation with hamlets which lie vkeeks apart for ,the traveler. As to the colo- nists who are struggling to clear ,the. forests and form homes in 'that land of perpetual cloud Mr. Smith gives the first place for thrift, cheerfulness and ingenuity to the French.' The Germans have established themselves firmly as the commercial and manufacturing people of southern Chile. In the Brit- ish settlers he recognizes room for im- provement rather than matter for praise. Malarial Mosquitoes In Jamaica. The Jamaica correspondent ,af the London Times reports an interesting discovery in the island: Dr. Grabham, a local investigator, has discovered a specimen of the malarial mosquito in the neighborhood of Kingston corre- sponding to that determined by Major Ross. The importance of this discovery to Jamaica may be judged from the admissions to the Kingston hospital last year, one-third of whom -were suf- fering fribm malaria. Fifty years ago so malarious were the Caymanas marshes, between Kingston and Span- ish Town, that it was considered sui- cide for a white man to venture near theta after dark or before sunrise.

Interment in the new cemetery. - Deafness Cannot be Cared by local arplications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars hoe. Sold by druggists lac. F. J.

Stebbins was united in marriage to Mr. Bertram A. Shuman, general secretary of the Young Men's, Christian Association of Duluth. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. W. Stebbins, father of the bride. The church was artistically decorated with palms, ferns, and pot- ted plants, the prevailing colors being white and green. As the bridal party entered the church Miss Pearl Benham, of New York, a col- lege mate of the bride, sang Calm as the Night, by Carl Bohm. The bride entered on the arm of her father, preceded by the ushers, Messrs. E. E. Frank and J. M. Morgan, of this city, Mr. Ralph Shuman, of Duluth, brother of the groom, and Mr. D. W. Stebbins, of Morris, brother of the bride, and the maid of honor, Miss Stella Marie Stebbins, sister of the bride. They were met at the altar by Mr. Shuman and his best man, Mr. R. P. Kaighn, of Holyoke, Mass. After the ceremony the bridal party left the church: to the 11iar strains of the Mendelsohn wed rig mareb, played by -Mrs. J. M. Tucker. The bride was gowned in simple Persian lawn, with ,trimmings of lace, and carried a hug4,bunch of white bride's roses. Her only (ornament was a beautiful pearl brooch the gift - of the groom. A wedding breakfast was served to about seventy-five guests at the Methodilat parsonage, which was beautifully decorated with ferns, sweet peas, nasturtiums, and roses. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful gifts of cut glass, solid silver, pictures, napery, etc. The happy couple, accompanied by friends from the twin cities, left on the, afternoon train for St. Paul, tak- ing an evening train too Lake tleneva and Chicago.

Oh, if only those who love us Would but tell uo while we Bei And not wait until life's journey Ended is before they give The smile we hungered after, Tender words we longed te hear, Which we listened for, but vainly, For many a weary year! There is much of pain and sorrow All must bear, and bear alone, Tet how helpful is the sunshine Of a cheery look and tone! How it brightens up life's pathway And dispels the shadows grim And restores our shattered idols, Which we built in days now dim! Then bestow your sunshine freely! Let it shine frcen out your eyes, Let•it speak in warm hand pressure* Let it breathe in heartfelt sighs, Let it cheer the faintieg spirit Of some brother insdistress, Let It thrill our jarring voices With a note of tenderness. For in serving fellow mortals We best serve the Father, too, Anti in lightening their burdens Ours grow light and fade from view, And a sympathetic nature That vibrates to others' needs Is a bit of God's own sunshine Quickening to noble deeds. —Anne B.

Ana indeed it had come to pass as unexpectedly and delightfully as do wonderful improbabilities in the world of enchantment. Frisoilla was 17. For the last nine years she had lived in the old frame farmhouse ou Dry creek. It was a pleasant enough place, the square green farmhouse, half hidden from the road by a grove of native timber. A great Seven Sisters rose straggled up to Priscilla's bedroom window and nodded Its pale pink blooms there every sum- mer. The aunt and uncle with whom she lived—common, kindly people, with o marvelous capacity for sustained la- bor—gave her limitless love. Beyond skimming the cream and keeping the best room in stiff and dustless order Ppiscilla had little to do. Indeed, her good relatives considered her too fine for heavy tasks. They were proud of her. • She was straight, slender and graceful. Her hair was silken and yel- low as the tassels of the corn which in July encompassed them in undulating seas of gold. Not all the winds of the prairie could. destroy the pure fairness of her complexion. She had laughing gray eyes, a straight nose and lips bright as geranium petals. Unhappily the spirit of discontent was hers. She knew that there was another world than that in which she lived—a chAlln- ing and enchanting world. She had memories of a city home where there were books and pictures, where clever people assembled and sweet music re- sounded. She had never overcome her resentment to certain country ways. Eating at the same table as the hired hands was a hardship to her. Her uncle and aunt would have been puz- zled at such foolish pride. They had - never dreamed of a separate table for themselves. But now her whole life was to be different and delightful. "It happened back at the old farm in Illinois," her aunt told her. "My sister wasn't much older than you are now when the handsome young artist came sketching down our way. Mother took him to board. He was always sketch- ing and painting. We thought he was just a nice, poor young man. He fell deeply in love with 'Alice. It was only after they were married that we learn- ed he was the son of proud and wealthy. people In the east. He wrote home the , truth and was disowned then and " there. His father said he did not want to hear from him alive or of him dead. Harry took his young wife and went to the city to earn his living. They were doing well and had a com- fortable home when your mother died. Harry couldn't live without her. He fsetted himself 111. He brought you to us. It was here he died. My, how happy it made Elihu and me to have you, never having had a child of our own! And now"—a sharp quiver com- ing into the leved voice—"when we were thinking you would marry Willie Lester, who worships the ground you walk on, comes this!" IIer right hand brought the letter it held down on the other with a savage slap. Brown old hands they were, en- • larged and made unlovely by much toil. Priscillatook the letter and read it through for the dozenth time: My Dear Little Girl—After all these years your grandfather has relented. I know the memory of stir boy has been ever with him. You are to tome to us. We have a great deal of money, as 1 suppose you know. We shall spend some of it on a trip abroad, you accompanying us. If you succeed in pleasing your grandfather, you will be a great heiress some day. Inclosed you will find a check to cover your expenses to New York. Tour affectionate grandmother, ELLEN WHYLAND. "Oh, won't it be grand to travel and see the places I've read of and bear heavenly music and wear beautiful gowns!" She drew a long breath of ec- static anticipation. She was too daz- zled to recognize the heartlessness of the Ietter in which she rejoiced. She did bet know how cruelly selfish were her own words. The grandparents who had ignored her existence all these years now summoned her without a thought for those into whose lives she had grown) She, a4tracted by the bril- lance of the bribe, was eager to go. "Grand!" echoed Mrs. Willits. The Jump in her throat pained her. She .muttered something about the biscuits !for supper and went away. Will Lester came over that evening. 'He was an overgrown young fellow, with an awkward walk, a handsome head and a fresh color in his tanned cheeks. "Sci you are going away, Priscilla!" he said. , She dimpled and blushed coquettish- ly. "Yes, I'm going away." Yesterday the knowledge that Will Lester loved her would have thrilled her with delight. All that was chang now. On the morning of her departure L ter went to Elihu Willits with a lo In his blue eyes that was half det mintd, half ashamed. "Will you let me drive Priscilla the train?" he asked. Willits, hooked of nose, gray beard, shabby of attire, irascible speech and just now bitter of hea was about to irritably refuse on spot. "Yes, my boy!" he said. For suddenly he had recalled a cer- ed red earth. Everywhere was tne subtle sense of awakening, .everywhere the es- wholesome, familiar smell of "green ok things growing." The trees along the er- creek had burst into myriads of brownish buds. Once in awhile sound - to ed the contented note of the meadow lark from its nest in the prairie grasses. of "111 be glad when the young chick - of ens are fit to fry," Mrs. 'Willits was rt, the tain dark, rainy, sweet scented spr night when he bad walked home fr prayer meeting with her who now it been his faithful wife for 20 years a had kissed her Or the first time. So Lester droVe Priscilla to the tra But it was not until they had left t farmhouse far behind, Dot until th had whirled through the straggli street of the little, unprosperous tow not, indeed, until they were in sight the red roofed depot, that be fou courage to speak his mind. 'Priscilla, you know I love you, th I've atways loved you, yes, since y came he a child. There is no use talking of that now. You are going be a fine lady. When I shall have fi 'shed my two years' course in Chjeag I shall be at the best but a moisten' country ,doctor. I felt I must say love you!' although there is no use hoping—now!" "No," she said softly. She colored deep, delicious pink. "I'm awful sorry, Willie. Everything is chang now." "Priscilla!" He pulled around in t seat and was looking down upon he "I wonder if you remember how one a long time ago, you strayed awa from home. There bad been a stor You could not be discovered anywher The folks were nearly crazy. It was who found you. ..)fru were a good wa down the creek. You were we* an hungry, tired and cold. You we scratched by briers, had lost your sho and were altogether forlorn. 'Whe you saw me, you held out your arm with the gladdest cry I ever hear '011, take me home, Willie!' you cried was trying to find the owl of th rainbow!' I did take you home, an you slept every bit of the way wit your little wet head cuddled on le shoulder. Do you know, I cannot hel thinking that you are—are going t find the end of another rainbow, Pris cilia!" "No—ah, no! What a cruel prophe cy!" She laughed a little nervously "Here we are! The train—is it o time, I wonder?" The train was on time. The Willitse were on hand. Gaunt and lugulfriou they loomed up on the platform. 'Don't worry about me, Aunt Mary!' Priscilla entreated. "I'll come to se you, and I'll bring you a real camel' hair shawl and a velvet gown!" "Never mind them," returned Mrs Willits huskily. "But you come, sure!" "Never mind them—come, sure!" urged Elihu like an echo. They kissed her. Lester held her hand tight a: minute. Then the train was writhing eastward like a great black serpent. Such a different world was that into which she went—such a world of ease, of luxury, of artistic delight! At first she was deliciously dazed by it all. The immense, beautiful house; the vel- vet laicl corridors; the trained, deft servanit; the crested, fragrant linen; the tall, reddish sideboard, on which the silver gleamed a drift of moon- lit frost; the high jars of aromatic rose leaves; the entrancing, gold bound pictures, the glowing draperies, the loose masses of cut flowers, the unlier- sal air of aloofness, made up the en- vironment of ideal existence. Then her grandparents were such charming old aristocrats. Money could never have made them. First, cen- turies before, were blood and breed- ing. The advantages which money could buy had supplemented these. They decided that personally Priscilla was perfection. Masters of music, of dancing, of languages, came daily, and the polish of accomplishments was added to her store of fascination. Abroad, her grandparents were de- lighted with the sensation she created. With her natural intelligence stimulat- ed to the utmost, her fresh young beauty set off with Parisian toilets, she was quite the most bewitching crea- ture society had seen for a long time. She wrote regularly to the old couple on Dry creek. She enjoyed her life heartily. At Rome Its current was changed. She fell in love with a sing- er whose superb voice and face of brigaadish beauty had taken the musi- cal world by storm. Old Calvin Why - land frowned on the affair. He took his granddaughter away. De Lalenier followed—obtained an interview. Car- ried away by his earnestness, his per- sonality, his passion, she promised to marry him. Her grandfather heard of it—questioned her. "Ask him," cried the old man, ghast- ly with rage, "if he wants you or the money he believes you will inherit!" "Never!" she replied -with scorn. "I shall never so insult him!" A fortnight later Mr. Whyland caught the Roman fever and died. When his will was opened, it was found to bear the date of his interview With his rebellious grandchild. After a certain share to his wife all his estate was left to a distant branch of his family. Priscilla was penniless. She took the news lightly. She had Adrain's love. He heard the rumor. He came to see her. she answered him. "It Is tine. I have been disinherited." He rose. He took up his hat. He bowed profoundly. "You are the sweetest woman in the world, Miss Whyland, but I must say goodby." She stared at him in bewilderment All at once comprehension, complete and terrible, came to her. She was jilted! "You mean"— "That 1—In your expressive tongue— am a scoundrel! Forgive me if you can. Goodby!" Then he was gone. • • • • • • • The spirit of springkwas abroad. The newly turned furrowslin the cornfields were black and moist. Lines of tender green defined the holiows in the scar - Ing om ad nd In. he ey ng n, of nd at ou in to n- o, ed in a ly ed he r. e, m. e. re 5, d. 11 • saying. She leaned forward to lay the circle of biscuit dough she held on the bubbling contents of the big iron pot. "Not but that a fat old one does make a good potpie! My! How Priscilla rel- ished my potpie! The dear child—who's that?" She turned sharply. A woman stood just without the open door, a stately and beautiful woman. She was gown- ed in soft fawn color, and the hat on the golden hair was a mass of change- able purple bloom. She held out little gloved hands. "Aunt Mary! Don't you know me?" For an instant the woman by the stove stood still—motionless, enraptur- ed. Then she rushed forward. She swept the radiant vision into her breathless embrace. She had not known such happiness since the rainy, sweet scented spring night when Elihu had kissed her on the way home from pray- er meeting. "My—dr—little—girl!" "I am not rich!" She was laughing and sobbing, hel• lips seeking repeated- ly the wriukied old cheek. "I did not even bving you the velvet gown. Grandpa died, you know, and"— "I'm rich—I'm rich!" quavered the old woman. "Ellhu—E-Ii-hu, hurry! Here's our little girl!" Priscilla did not atirirs1 recognize the gentleman who came to call on her a few days later as that handsome, self possessy, bearded man Will Lester. She learned much of, Dr. Lester during the months that followed, and the tales that were told her did credit to his head and heart. One night he ventured to speak of her again as he had that distant morn- ing on the way to the train which was to carry her out of his life. "But now," he concluded, "I speak -- and hope! May I?" "Listen." she said. "You must know all first." She told hint the frank and full truth. From the orchard came drifting up to them a thousand vagrant,- delicious scents, and fireflies flashed around them like incarnate words of love. "I think," she ended in a queer, shaky little voice, "that I've found—as you said I inight—the end of another rainbow, Willie." I Fe_apetied his arms and gathered her into thTlf shelter as he had done that night on Dry creek when be found her a little helpless, frightened child. "You remember it, love—that old story? Thank God, dear heart," he said, in his voice infinite thankfulness, infinite joy. "The storm is spent, the darkness over!"—Chicago Tribune. Two Fables. Charles and William were partners in a small way in the commission busi- ness. When the war broke out, Wil- liam went to the front, but as Charles had an uncle who was a congressman, he went to Washington and did impor- tant work for some contractors. After the war William came home in dusty blue clothes and was a hero, al- though he was $6 in debt. He found Charles not only engaged to the pret- tiest girl in the place, but with his pockets full of' ready money.

When John Taylor Gilman, a member of congress, visited tbe log houses which chiefly constituted Saratoga in Its early history, he was accompanied one day 011 a hunting ramble by a young son of the woodsman with whom he boarded. When they return- ed to the cable, the boy enthusiastical- ly shouted, "Oh, ma, we've found a new spring!" "Who found it?" he was asked - Turning to the distinguished MVP maker, the little fellow admiringly ex- claimed, "Why, the congress!" And to this day the name has clung to one of the most celebrated of the springs which made the place a sani- tary resort long before it became the seat of summer fashion.—Ladies' Home Journal. Tolstol's Sense of Honor. At one music party at Count Tolstoi's a lady's singing displeased the count's boys, and they adjourned to another room and made a noise. Ti3eir father lost patience and went after them, and a characteristic admonition ensued. "Are you making a noise on pur- pose?" he asked. After some hesitation came an an- swer in the affirmative, "Y -y -yes." "Does not her singing please you?" "Well, no. Why does she bowl?" de- clared one of the boys, with vexation. "So you wish to protest against her singing?" asked Lyeff Nikolaevitch in a serious tone. "Yes." "Then go out and say so or stand in the middle of the room and tell every one present.

A FALSE ALARM. 1 EFFECTIVE REPROOFS. Payson Tucker Had a Quick Eye and Pointed Methods. Two incidents in the railroad life of Payson Tucker are told that well il- lustrate what a worker he was and his attention to the details of business. Several years ago he was up .on the mountain division of the Maine Cen- tral road and looked over the grounds of one of the stations. Nothing more than the usual conversation passed, and he returned to his car and went back to Portland. Nearly a year pass- ed before he had occasion to call at the station again, and then he stepped off the car and asked pleasantly: "Do you have all the help you want here?" "Yes, sir; all that we need." "Quite sure you have enough?" "Yes, sir. There is not much to be done at so email a station." • "Well, I feared you were rushed to death and could not find time to re- move that plle of old bricks I saw the last time I was here." With that the general manager of the road stooped over the pil,r) of bricks and, without removing his/ kid gloves, continued the work untiFthe last one was neatly piled up. At another time a break had been committed at one of the stations on the back road, and the next day after the notice of the break bad been wired to Portland Mr. Tucker chanced to pass that way. After looking things over, Mr. Tucker asked what had been lost, and the agent quickly ran over the amount of money and tickets stolen. "That all?" asked Mr. Tucker, when the agent had concluded. "Yes, sir; nothing else." "That so?" said Mr. Tucker, Aaking In the untidy appearance of the room and station at a glance. "I feared some one had stolen your broom. Perhaps you have not missed it. I will send you one."—Presque Isle (Me.) Star - Herald. It Came at a Most Inopportune Time For the Pretty Angler. "And it all came from a little, petty, miserable, insignificant, nickel plated alarm clock that cost me just 09 cents at a bargain sale!" exclaimed the pret- ty girl in blue, with flashing eyes, to her sympathetic friend. "I haven't the slightest idea why I bought it unless It was because it was so cheap, for goodness knows I didn't need it! But buy it I did and carried it home, where I bragged of my bargain all the rest of the day. It wouldn't run more than half the time, and finally I turned it over to my little sister to play with. "You know the time I have had with that eligible young man and how I have quarreled with every girl friend I know who has dared to look at him? But you don't know how many nights have wasted sitting up planning a campaign that would be successful! "Well, he called the other evening, and I served notice on the rest of the family that we wanted the drawing room to ourselves that evening, for I felt sure that the supreme moment had arrived. I wasn't disappointed. We were sitting side by side on a divan, quite by accident, looking at some engravings when he began, and I tried to look as if I was awfully sur- prised. But he hadn't spoken more than three words before that misera- ble alarm clock went off right under Us, where my little sister bad left it when she was through playing with it. "From the way the young man jump- ed you would have thought that he was a part of the alarm and always acted that way when the alarm was sprung. He made for the door, mum- bling something that I didn't catch on account of the noise that the alarm made, and he was outdoors before ihe din ceased and gave me a cheat' to collect my wits. And to think that It was all caused by a little, miserable, petty"— the pretty girl in blue gave It up and burst out crying.—Detroit Free Press. Poor Shots. All the principal correspondents at be front, among them Mr. Burleigh, Mr. \Tilers, the war artist; The Daily News and The Times Mafeking corre- spondents as well as Sir Howard Vin- cent have testified to the poor shooting in unmistakable terms. Mr. Villiers' experience was a particularly striking one. While asleep in his Cape cart on the veldt he was ineffectually potted at 100 yards off by three gentlemen in khaki, who mistook him for a Boer farmer. As he tersely puts it, "I never felt anywhere so safe as when uader my countrymen's fire." An analysis of the "withering rifle fire of the British advance" shows that in very few in- atances was a Boer hit more than once, while many of our men had several Mauser bullets through them, in some instances as many as n and 13. Eng- lish as well as foreign doctors in Beer hospitale report that almost all the wounded Boers have come to their in- juries by artillery fire, Dr, von Gernet states "that the British rills fire is al- most quite without effect," which, if the instances I can cite of regulars who were hurried to the front who had never fired a service rifle 113 their lives be at all general. can hardly rouse sur- prise.—Nineteeuth Century, China's Oldest Society.

What Is Meant by It and How It Is Arranged. Parole, it must be understood, is a purely voluntary compact. The captor Is not obliged to offer to parole his prisoner, and the prisoner is not oblig- ed and cannot be compelled to give his parole. If he does so, he will probably be re- leased on pledging his word not to serve during the existing war. If he refuses, he will remain captive until the war is over or until he can make his escape. The usual parole pledge extends only to active service against the enemy. A prisoner released on parole is not breaking his contract if he drills, re- cruits, quells civil commotions or fights other enemies. A soldier taken prisoner has no au- thority to pledge himself never to serve against a particular enemy. He can- not throw off thus lightly the duty he owes his sovereign or ceuntry, and if he makes any pledge ft must be con- fined to a limited time. Moreover, if a prisoner should make a pledge not approved by his own gov- ernment he is bound to return and sur- render himself to the enemy. In the British army a soldier can only give his parole through a com- missioned officer. Even a noncommis- sioned officer or an officer of inferior rank cannot give parole either for him- self or for his men without permission from his commanding officer. The United States authorities, by the way, give greater liberty of parole than Is the case with the British army. 4. captured prisoner who has violated his parole may be punished -with death. —Pearson's Weekly. Dr, Clarke's Wise Dog. The late Dr. James Freeman Clarke used to tell this amusing story of his dog: "At one time my dog was fond of going to the railway station to see the people, and I always ordered him to go home, fearing he would be hurt by the cars. He easily understood that if he went there it was contrary to my wishes. So whenever he was near the station, if he saw me coming, he would look the other way and pretend not to know we. If he met me anywhere else, he always bounded to meet me with great delight. But at the station It was quite different. He vvould pay no attention to my whistle or my call. He even pretended to be another dog and would look me right in the face without apparently recognizing me. He gave me the cut direct in the most im- pertinent manner, the reason evidently being that he knew he was doing what was wrong and did not like to be found out. Possibly he may have relied a little on my nearsightedness ia his maneuver."—Outlook. Why It Needed Revision. t'To whom do yon intend to give the eillain's part?" asked the dramatist.

Among the inmates of a certain in- sane asylum were two who were con- sidered perfectly harmless and not without a certain modicum of common sense. These two were generally em- ployed in the garden and were fre- quently left without supervision. An opportunity offering, they plan- ned between themselves at attempt to escape. "Now, bend down, Tom," said Jack as the two conspirators came to the wall surrounding the grounds; "then I'll climb up your shoulder to the top, and when I'm up I'll be able to give you a hand." Tom accordingly bent down, and Jack, with a little difficulty, managed to gain the top of the wall, where, in- stead of assisting his frit nd, he disap- peared on the other side and, as he was making off, shouted: "Well, I think, Jack, you'll be better to stay on another fortnight yet.; You're not nearly cured!"

About 3,000 years before the Chr than era a Chinese alchemist, Ti Tschen by name, while experimenti upon some nostrum for the etern preservation of life or upon some f mula for converting dirt into gold— matters not what—accidentally co cocted a black substance in the fo of a liquid paint or varnish. This co coction was the first 4ndia luk. The black 1 vent which forms t base of the Mk was the soot obtain by burning lac nd pine charcoal: Th soot was powdered finely and mix with some kind of size or glue. Fis glue, or isinglass, was used as well bone or horn glue, and sometimes, making the finer qualities of ink, pear were boiled in glue. Sometimes drie ox tongue was added to give the ink purple tint, and the bark of the peppe tree was used to produce a .tiu,,e o blue. The ink was carefully _tholde dried and packed in wormwood leave with lime or ashes ,until well seasone It is not stated whether sepia, th coloring liquid of the cuttlefish, 'tva added to the ink originally or not; bu as the best India ink ill-use at presen has a brownish tint, as if mixed wit se to it is evident that septa is used now in. the: manufacture of the ink Sepia alone is used frequently in Chin in preference to the black ink. As soon as it was discovered that in dia iuk was likely to be serviceable t mankind it was perceived by the im perlal diet to be a dangerous innova tion upon the established custom o 'nota-havig it to 'use. The empire; had got along very well without indi lni prior to its discovery, and it wa Chinese public policy "to let wel nough alone." Therefore the use o be ink was declared to be sacril sous, and its manufacture was pro tinted. Apparent,y there were "millions" in ndia ink in those days, for a sharp ompetition in its production arose, nd this was the beginning of trouble or artists and draftsmen. The market -as glutted with worthless grades. At rst the ink was superfine in quality, nd the lampblack used in it was round into an impalpable powder so ne that it was as volatile as vapor nd possessed in itself an odor of usk. Later, when competition cor- upted its production, coarser and beeper pigments were substituted for he fine ones, : I the ink was arti- ctally perfunit�, with musk in order disguise its inferiority. The Chinese are passionately fond of ask, and India Ink was used by them of only as a writing material, but so as a flavor for their choicest bev- ages. A little India ink rubbed in ater was considered then a delicious rink, but modern India ink can hard - be recommended as a safe medium r interior decoration of that sort. We are informed by the distinguish - historian that all "good" India ink inhabited by gods. (In China there re so many gods that it Is difficult to d lodgings for them all; they are lleted, therefore, upon any canyon- nt article, such alt., a stick of India k.) From this startling disclosure of e historian we might be justified in esuming that all "bad" India Ink -'is habi d by devils.

When proper- ly made, this brick is said to be hard, waterproof and able to resist the ac- tion of acids. A lack of uniformity in the quality has been noticed, however. "Lhnestone brick," which are made in cold, wet weather, seem to give less satisfaction an those produced under other me ological conditions. But there is now promise that this difficulty Will soon be obviated. A con- sular report from Germany announces tbat a Zurich cbeinist, Wilhelm Schwartz, has found a way to get good results every time. The secret lies in controlling the amount of moisture ad- mitted to the 9)mpound and in main- taining the temperature within certain limits for a time. The fo er part of the process is managed in vacuum, so that no dampness can be arted by the atmosphere. 'Herr Sch rtz has invented a machine of his own to do the mixing. Much confidence is ex- pressed in the substantial value of the innovation reported. High Living and Cancer. Sir William Banks advances the the- ory that overeating or even a high standard of general nutrition may pre- dispose to cancer, which he believes to be eminently a disease of the healthy and robust. From this point of view the abundance of food, which Is a re- • sult of national prosperity and on the whole a powerful factor in the iui- ifrovement of public health, is not with- out its drawbacks. Sir William points out that the increase of cancer in Great Britain coincides with an increase throughout the country. Ever since the pa Ing of the corn laws bread has been cheap and plentiful, while during the last 20 years the importation of -animal food from other countries has been enormous. The increased wages and profits of all classes have enabled them to buy freely of the best things to eat and drink. The working classes fare admirably. The better classes eat a great deal too much, taking animal food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fortunately the people are of athletic tendency, and there is a general pant sion for games and exercises; other- wise this overstuffilrg would before now have proved very dangerous. Sir William Banks is convinced that when a man is over 45 excess in food is ac- tually worse for him than excess in. drink and believes one of the results of too nourishing food is the production of a widely spread second rate kind of gout, a modification, In fact, of the acute and furious attacks produced in former days by the copious drinking of beer and port wine. Plant Doctors. The writer of a paper in The Con- temporary Review entitled "Wanted, Plant Doctors," shows how far Britain is behind Germany and America in rec- ognizing the importance of plant pa- thology. He thinks, however, that a time will come when every agricultur- al district will have its plant doctor and when specialists in animal para- sites, cryptogamie botany and bacteri- ology will be consulted in difficult and obscure cases, just as the help of Har- ley street is called in by medical prac- titioners. The practice of plant medi- cine is in its lnfaitcy ; but, with in- creased competition in the growth of cultivated crops, the farmer cannot af- ford to neglect any help that he can get in keeping the plants under his care in as high a state of health as pos- sible. What We Breathe. Dr. Edward Smith has wade some careful experiments in regard to the`• inhalation of oxygen and the exhala- tion of carbon during physical exer- cise. Allowing the figure 1 to repre- sent the quantity of air inhaled by a man when lying fiat, the quantity of air inhaled when he sits is 1.18, when he stands 143, when be walks one mile an hour 1.90, four miles an hour 5, and when he runs six miles an hour It is 7. In other words, if a man at rest inbales 480 cubic inches of air per minute he inhales 2,400 cubic inches when he walks four miles an hour and 3,600 cubic inches when he walks six miles an hour. The exhalation of car- bon increases proportionately. New Light From $oieace.

Van Helmont inferred that the plant's gain was due only to the water which had been sup- plied. Modern botanical science proves that the gain was in a great measure due to the carbon absorbed from the air. To swallow _Has Own Adviee.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM 8T., NEW YORK. WILD BEASTS IN BATTLE. Two Panthers and a Sea Lion In Fight to the Death. Among all lights of wild beasts per haps the most terrible are those 1 which the combatants belong to differ ent elements. The struggle then seem peculiarly wanton' and unnatural. No long ago two men on a small island off the Californian coast declare that they witnessed such a battle. 'The men were amusing themselves watching the antics of a number of sea lions on a reef when all at once the creature began to bellow in alarm and dived into the water. One huge fellow alone stood his ground and moved his head slowly, as if watching. A moment later the men saw creep- ing from the shadow of a rock two large panthers, which had evidently swum over from the mainland in search of prey. Simultaneously the panthers leaped upon their enemy and a terrible com- bat ensued. For nearly 30 minutes it went on, till the reef was skirted with crimson foam. Twice the lion struck a panther squarely with his flipper and knocked him a dozen feet away. But the great cats kept to their work, and finally one of them burled his teeth in a flipper of the sea lion, and tore it off with a sin- gle savage tug. Bellowing hoarsely with pain and an- ger, the wounded bull caught the panther's throat between its jaws and dragged him into the water, but the big brute was weak from loss of blood. The panther escaped, and, with its mate; swam off for the mainland across the narrow channel, while the sea lion struggled out toward the ocean to die. The men went down to examine the field of battle. A hole deep enough to bury a horse had been dug in the soft mud, while the shore was stained blood red.—San Francisco Call. Seeret of Hood Style. Corsets are\`always straight in front a without any curve at the waist. They are cut so as only to curve in the back r_ and over the hips. It is impossible to be well dressed without a corset of this stiape, as the prettiest dress will look s out of fashion, superannuated, as t though several Sears old and countri- fied, though so many second class stay - makers still continue the cut from force of routine, says the New York - Telegram. ' It is the cut, as every one knows, that s constitutes the elegance of a corset. It. is better to have a plain coutil corset made to measure by a good staymaker than a satin corset bought ready made. Moreover, satin Is no longer the ma- terial most used for pretty corsets. They are more frequently made of silk and thread cambric and lined with faille, which is infinitely more supple; lighter cambric is sometimes plain, sometimes embroidered with small pat- terns. Let your corset be white, if. it matches your linen, or perfectly match- ing the latter if you prefer it colored. You can also year, with a white.che- Inise and drawers, a corset of the same color as the petticoat. The black corsets preferred by many persons because they go with every- thing have been for two or three years past completely out of favor•. What a Knight of the Garter Wears, A Knight of the Garter dressed in the regalia is an imposing sight. He wears a blue velvet mantle with a star embroidered on the lett breast. His trunk hose, stockings and shoes are white, his hood andsurcoat crimson. The garter, of dark blue velvet edged with gold and bearing the motto, "Honi Boit qui mal y pease" ("Shame to him who thinks ill of it"), also in gold, is buckled about the left leg below the knee. The heavy golden collar consists of 26 pieces, each in the form of a gar- ter, bearing the motto, and from it hangs the "George," a badge which represents St. George on horseback en- countering the dragon. The "lesser George" is a Smaller badge attached to a blue ribbon worn over the left shoul- der.

The list of eligible princesses for the. kings and kinglets of Europe matrimo- nially inclined is so skort that when a really pretty one appears there is great rivalry for her hand. The .Grand Duchess Helena of Russia is the latest to make her court debut, and rumor •has it that she will soon be betrothed to Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, a wid- ower with four children. If this should become an actuality, there will have to be, the court gos- sips say, another shuffling of the cards, by which Prince Ferdinand, in order to rank with his fiancee, will be raised to the dignity of kinship and on his part will reciprocate by joiatng the Greek Orthodox church. It does not appear how the pretty grand duchess regards the deal, which is credited to the aged Princess Clem- entina of Orleans, who has a reputa- tion, next to Queen Victoria, of being the most expert royal matchmaker. Her age may be inferred from the fact that she was the favorite daughter of that tong defunct sovereign, Louis Phi- lippe. In point of fact the Princess Clementine is two years the senior of the Ehgllsh queen and is said to be the only personage living who dares ad- dress her by her Christian name. Easily Forgotten.

FORGET BUSHVESS AT NIGHT That is the Only Way to Be Sure of Doing Your Best Work. "Every business man of common sense knows, whether he •chooses to acknowledge it or not, that the farther away he gets in the -evening from his commercial associations during the day, so that his business associates or thoughts of it or then! cannot get at him, the healthier he is, the wiser life he leads—in short, tri✓ better off he is in every respect and the abler for the duties of the morrow," writes Edward Bok in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Now, what does he get in the city in the evening, even if he lives a care- fully regulated life? There is no mode of life he can possibly follow which is in any way recuperative to his mental or physical being. • He has never been out of hearing of the noises of the city or out of the range of its lights. Every night he has slept in the polluted air of the city and in the morning has looked out on the gray sidewalks which he sees all day long. What does such a man know of the exhilarating, refresh- ing and blood quickening experience of opening the shutters of his chamber window upon a landscape of space and sunshine? And, what is far worse, what do his wife and children know of such a blessing? "Yet he deludes himself into the be- lief that he must live in the city, so as to be `in touch with things.' If you ask him what those 'things' are, you invariably discover that they are of a business nature, either strictly busi- ness or someOsocial convention which he feels has a bearing on his business. But it is always business, business! Now, a man living under this pressure rarely does his best work, although be fully believes that he Is doing it. But he cannot be giving out the best be- cause he does not allow the best to get within him." How to Have Genius Rewarded, The artist was bewailing his luck. "My paintings are gems," he said. "Even the critics admit that, but I can't get any prices for them." "Of course not," returned the man of business. "You see, the trouble with you is that you are alive, and genius Is rewarded only after death. Now, if you could arrange to die"— "But how could I profit by that?" demanded the artist. "Let me finish," Mid the man of business. "If you could arrange to die temporarily, your fortune would be made. Just make me the executor of your estate, drop out of sight for awhile and you will have both fame and money. The trouble with you art- ists is that you have no head for busi- ness. Now the moment you are gone you will be written up and.lauded, and all the pathos of your struggle for rec- ognition will be brought out, and peo- ple will just fall over themselves to get your paintings.

MACHINE 'WHICH WORKS FAST AND DOES NOT TEAR THE PLANT. An improved cotton picker has been invented by William J. Dyer of Shreve- port, La., which is arranged to insure a clean and thorough removal of the bolls from high or low cotton bushes or plants without tearing the fibers of the lint or the growing plant. The machine, says The Scientific American, comprises a horse drawn, well supported box, at the sides of the open front end of which vertical shafts are journaled, carrying picking disks. Each ticking disk is formed with a solid core, whose top and bottom di- verge from the edge to the'center. Be- tween these picker shafts two other vertical shafts are journaled, provided with brushes beveled at top and bot- tom to conform with the toothed pick- ing disks. On the lower ends of these four vertical shafts beveled pinions are carried which mesh with beveled gear`s on a forward transverse shaft geared with the traction axle. The beveled gears are so proportioned with respect MECHANICAL COTTON PICNE to the pinions that the picker shafts will rotate at a lower rate speed than the brush shafts. As the machine is draw forward the outer sides of the pi Ing disks pass between adjacent oranches of the bushes, and the teeth remove the lint from the bolls. The cotton lint thus picked is carried inward as the picker shafts rotate and swept off the disks by the brushes into the box. In order to prevent the litlt from fly- ing sidewise and outward from the brushes and pickers and to prevent clogging of the brushes and pickers by the lint angularly disposed ,canvas flanges are arranged on tie -'forward ends of the sides of the bear,, ich flanges are provided with cut out por- tions for the passage of the picking disks. Boer Tobacco Now. One outcome of the Transvaal war may be the popularity of Boer tobacco in England. This product of South Africa is pure, cheap, clean and health- ful. In South Africa the newly ar- rived inveterate smoker speedily drops his accustomed brands and changes to e local product. There are many va- r ties of Boer tobacco, ail of which are palatable. The best Transvaal tobacco is grown in the neighborhood of Rustenburg, about 40 miles northwest of Pretoria, near President Kruger's private farms. Here many hundred thousands of pounds weight are grown yearly, home cured and sent to the markets in huge tight rolls. Other well known varieties of the Boer leaf are the Pondo, Fingo, Basu- to and Xesibe tobaccos. These are grown in the native territories after which they are christened. The most fragrant of them is the Pondo tobacco, which is grown on the seacoast. It is packed up in a tall sug- ar loaf shape, the leaves being damp- ened and pressed into a tight mass. The cone is packed into a covering made of reeds gathered from the river banks and is tied firmly with thongs. Kinetoscope Views of Plant Growth. In his studies of stove motions Pro- fessor Charles S. Slichter, by means of kinetoscope pictures, has so magni- fied the motions that the growth of seedling pe s and beans during three weeks is sh'n in a few seconds. The plants were photographed on the kinet- oscope film by', artificial light at inter- vals of a felt' minutes to a few hours during the three weeks. On projecting the pictures upon the screen at the usual rate, the motion of growth was magnified about 500,000 times, and the different rates of development of the various parts were brought out very clearly. Among the striking results - was the curious behavior of a pea struggling to enter impenetrable soil, the root curving and writhing much like an angleworm, while the pea was lolled about very grotesquely.—Popu- lar Science. Pine Leaves, or "Needles." The California Fruit Grower tells us that pine needles are being utilized in south Oregon. The needles are boiled and then run through horizontal wood- en rollers, which extract the 'niece. This is called pine needle oil, which is supposed to possess medical proper- ties. The pulp is used as a medicated material for upholstering and is also said to be a good substitute for horse- hair.

Nature Praetical, Not Poetical, In <., Scattering Sweet Blossoms. A French physician has decided that perfumes prevent people from taking certain diseases. During an epid,ahic kis attention was attracted to the fact that persons who constantly used per- fumes escaped taking the disease. But he found that the more delicate per- fuines, like violet, lavender, attar of rose, were more efficacious than musk and strong, rank essences. Becearia, the famous Italian botan- ist, long ago advised city officials to plant trees and shrubs with odorifer- ous blossoms or fragrant leaves along the highways, con s and parks of cities, because the strong odors pro, duce ozone, and ereby purify the air and make the c ty more healthful to human beings c nfined to city streets 1 or narrow, sunless courts and alleys. Indd nature teaches us some of her delicate mysteries and farreaching processes when she plants tuberoses, orange trees, the night blooming ce i reus and other shrubs and blossoms with such rich and oft well nigh over- powering odors in tropic lands to neu- tralize the danger of fevers and mala- ria arising from dense vegetation or damp, unwholesome marshes and riv- ers. Who of us can resist the charm to the senses of greaat masses of white and purple lilacs with countless bees murmuring round the fragrant spikes of blossoms—the pure, delightful per- fume not too strong in the open air under the radiant sun of May? .Qnd lilacs are so vigorous, are easily grown on any soil and very long lived. Only an expert could tell how old some lilacs on a great-grandfather's old place are, with the gnarled trunks and vigorous masses of green and blossoms in May. —Boston Trauscript- BLAMED "i`ijlE•GOVERNMENT.

A California Orchard. The eighteen acre orchard of Dr. William Thorne, on Cypress Avenue, is an instance of how rapidly an orange tree will respond to care and kind treatment. Two years ago when the doctor purchased the property the trees were in a very bad condition due to neglect, all of them being full of dead wood, many practically leaf- less, and the entire orchard filthy from scale. The property was a hard proposition and many a young man would have hesitated to have taken hold of it at any price. Yet in spite of all this the doctor, who is a gentle- man in the eighties, a recent arrival from the emit keying no experience in orange culture, never once turned back when he put his hand to the plow, and to -day he has as fine a look- ing orchard as is to be found in the valley, his crop netting $3,000 this year. ' The secret of his success was due to his willingness to accept and put into practice suggestions from practical orchardists, and in having the courage to spend money freely for fertilizers and fumigation, without which no orange grove can be made a financial success. Should the orange market be normal next season the doctor with his present showing of fruit will undoubtedly secure $4,000 for his crop. The $3,000 which he received this year is a fine showing from an orchard which two years ago was practically non -producing owing to neglect. The place has been fur- ther improved during the past few weeks by the laying of a cement flume the entire length of the grove on the east side. -Covina . (Cal.) Argus. Randolph Items. Miss Ada L.

Among those desert wanderers, keen to observe their sur- roundings, it would not be a difficult thing to notice that the shadow short- ened as the sun rose higher in the sky and that the shortened shadow always pointed in the same direction -north. The recognition would have followed very soon that this noonday shadow changed in its length from day to day. A six foot spear would give a shadow at noonday in latitude 40 degrees of 12 feet at one time of the year, of less than two feet atanother. instrument„so simple, so easily abaft& so easllaset up, may well have begun the scientific study of astrono- my, for it lent itself' to measurement, and science is measurement. and prob- ably we see it expressed in permanent form in the obellskaiof- Egyptian solar temples, though these no doubt were retained merely as solar emblems ages after their use as actual instruments of observation had ceased.

Howe, telling in the Atchison Globe of his experience during a voy- age across the Atlantic ocean. saga: "I believe I made a discovery intones - sickness. One night when the Ship was pitching badly I remarked that when there was a particularly hard lunge the screws came out of the wa ter and whirled round so rapidly as to almost throw me out of bed. I was sleeping with my head forward, and after awhile I discovered that thei screws seemed to come out of the wai ter when the prow was in the air. Thea It occurred to me that this was impos- sible. Of course the screws came out when the stern was in the air. "So my discovery was that in sea. sickness, particularly when you are int bed at night or have your eyes closed, the ship really pitches upward when you think it pitches downward. This confusion may assist in muddling the brain andAtomach. I certainly had this expevlence all through one night. When myj head seemed in the air, the screws came out of the water, although' my heels were really in the air at the time." Witkdpsawing a faros. One particularly amusing incident characterized Congressman Burton's early experience at the bar. For some reason it became necessary to request a continuance in a case In which be was counsel. After Mr. Burton had explained why there should be a con- tinuance the court told him simply to withdraw a juror and the case would be marked continued. For the moment the young attorney was nonplused, but after glancing at the court to satis- fy himself that the judge was in earn- est he walked over to the jury box, eyed the jurors for an !natant and thea firmly seized a large, portly German and endeavored with no little effort to drag him out of the jury box. In the midst of the general laugh which fol- lowed, the court came to the rescue of the discomfited young barrister by ex- plaining that the term was simply technical and need only be written on the docket. -Saturday Evening Post.

A California Orchard. The eighteen acre orchard of Dr. William Thorne, on Cypress Avenue, is an instance of how rapidly an orange tree will respond to care and kind treatment. Two years ago when the doctor purchased the property the trees were in a very bad condition due to neglect, all of them being full of dead wood, many practically leaf- less, and the entire orchard filthy from scale. The property was a hard proposition and many a young man would have hesitated to have taken hold of it at any price. Yet in spite of all this the doctor, who is a gentle- man in the eighties, a recent arrival from the emit keying no experience in orange culture, never once turned back when he put his hand to the plow, and to -day he has as fine a look- ing orchard as is to be found in the valley, his crop netting $3,000 this year. ' The secret of his success was due to his willingness to accept and put into practice suggestions from practical orchardists, and in having the courage to spend money freely for fertilizers and fumigation, without which no orange grove can be made a financial success. Should the orange market be normal next season the doctor with his present showing of fruit will undoubtedly secure $4,000 for his crop. The $3,000 which he received this year is a fine showing from an orchard which two years ago was practically non -producing owing to neglect. The place has been fur- ther improved during the past few weeks by the laying of a cement flume the entire length of the grove on the east side. -Covina . (Cal.) Argus. Randolph Items. Miss Ada L.

Among those desert wanderers, keen to observe their sur- roundings, it would not be a difficult thing to notice that the shadow short- ened as the sun rose higher in the sky and that the shortened shadow always pointed in the same direction -north. The recognition would have followed very soon that this noonday shadow changed in its length from day to day. A six foot spear would give a shadow at noonday in latitude 40 degrees of 12 feet at one time of the year, of less than two feet atanother. instrument„so simple, so easily abaft& so easllaset up, may well have begun the scientific study of astrono- my, for it lent itself' to measurement, and science is measurement. and prob- ably we see it expressed in permanent form in the obellskaiof- Egyptian solar temples, though these no doubt were retained merely as solar emblems ages after their use as actual instruments of observation had ceased.

One night when the Ship was pitching badly I remarked that when there was a particularly hard lunge the screws came out of the wa ter and whirled round so rapidly as to almost throw me out of bed. I was sleeping with my head forward, and after awhile I discovered that thei screws seemed to come out of the wai ter when the prow was in the air. Thea It occurred to me that this was impos- sible. Of course the screws came out when the stern was in the air. "So my discovery was that in sea. sickness, particularly when you are int bed at night or have your eyes closed, the ship really pitches upward when you think it pitches downward. This confusion may assist in muddling the brain andAtomach. I certainly had this expevlence all through one night. When myj head seemed in the air, the screws came out of the water, although' my heels were really in the air at the time." Witkdpsawing a faros.

After Mr. Burton had explained why there should be a con- tinuance the court told him simply to withdraw a juror and the case would be marked continued. For the moment the young attorney was nonplused, but after glancing at the court to satis- fy himself that the judge was in earn- est he walked over to the jury box, eyed the jurors for an !natant and thea firmly seized a large, portly German and endeavored with no little effort to drag him out of the jury box. In the midst of the general laugh which fol- lowed, the court came to the rescue of the discomfited young barrister by ex- plaining that the term was simply technical and need only be written on the docket. -Saturday Evening Post.

An informal reception was afterwards held at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Daniel O'Brien, on west Third Street, attended by rel- atives and immediate friends. The , pours were in pink and white. A num- ber of handsome presents were receiv- ed. The groom is cashier of the Shel- don Bank,and the bride has been mana- ger of the telegraph office there dur- ing the past four years.

At, last I drew from him that The Weekly Wag is wagging all the wrong way and is bound to go to the wall uhiess he can secure a few articles from some comic writer of note.. But, s though he bas written to several with that object, nothing has come of it. . "In a word, the paper has turned out a ruinous investment for me," he con - 'eluded bitterly. As I came stairs, feeling utterly miserable , and depressed, a happy thought darted into my mind. Men don't like refusing a request when framed by feminine lips, so perhaps I may succeed where poor dad' has fdiled. At any rate, "without a trial there's no dental," and a recent inci- dent opens the way for me to make • the trial. A few days ago, while aunt and I were whiling away an holm in the Brit- ish museum, she bowed to a librarian. He responded to her recognition with a courtly b' , and a polite smile re- laxed for the moment his clean shaven, inscrutable face. ',That was the celebrated Mr. Rut- land, d the- writer of those clever arti- cles, cles, my dear. I' met him last Reek at Mrs. Pel m's," she explained as we passed on to another room. Seeing that eh bad turned ad as a peony; I cone uded that he was a celibate as well as a celebrity! But'he certainly did not look a bit like I imag- ined him, for, strange to say, dad had been speaking of him to me that same morning, when he had enviously pointed out an attrl gtive announce- ment in a rival weekly to the effect that a series of brilliant sketches from the 1,n of the widely known humorist, Rolf Rutland, would shortly appear in its colualns. I am very glad now that we chancedito see him, since it paves the way fo me to call on him and ex- plain in confidence the sad straits of The Weekly Wag and beg of him to contribute something to its pages. . Aunt mentioned that he lives at For- est Gate, in a beautiful i residence known as Olive Lodge. So tdhiorrow morning I shall take heart of grace and start on this forlorn hope. Sept. 5, 1897, 1:10 p. m.—What a day of days this has been! I really ought to have dated 'tin- red ink. This mor ing directly the dear,,unsuspecting dad had arted for the city, I put on my sal hat and sallied forth on my se- cret 'Won. Abouttwo hours later I mounted a broad flight -of steps to the•threshoid of Olive Lodge, and I must confess that while, I waited admittance my courage seemed to ooze out of my finger tips. "You are a little simpleton, Rose Har- " vey, quaking and shaking as though you were going to face an'ogre instead of a wit," I said angrily to myself as a boy in buttons ushered me into a. large Ong room, very handsomely fur - ed, but lacking in pretty trifles. Giving the boy my card I subsided into an easy chair. As I did so I --caught sight of myself in a pier glass, and was 'relieved to see that I looked perfectly self possessed—which I cer- tainly did not feel. Thenext minute the curtaiged door swung open, and ]'the celebrated Mr. i Rutland" entered, 'the rooni. Unless I was much mistaken a gleam of relief flashed from his steel gray eyes as they alighted on me. Possibly, since my aunt and I bear the same. 'names, he had expected to see her, and of "two evils" would rather deal with the less- er! Producing the current number of The Weekly Wag, I explained—rather abruptly, I'm afraid—the nature of my visit. While he listened his gaze of polite attention became a stare of unbounded amazement, and, instead of accepting the proffered paper; he sprang to his rgt with an exasperated gesture. This is a most preposterous request, young lady! It is utterly out of the question that any article from my pen sho appear through the medium of The Mekly Wag:" The slighting emphasis with which named the poor little weekly, and the withering glance he cast on it, made me tingle with rage and mortifi- cation.. there is nothing more to be said, except to apologize for having troubled you with this 'preposterous ts request; " I said, rising to my feet. And making him a stiff little bow, I moved toward the door. He had the politeness to hasten to open it for me, and I passed out with all the dignity I could summon. At the- same moment the hall door was hastily opened, and a tear blurred vision of a tall, straight figure in cricketing flannels made me redouble my efforts• fa repress my in- clination to burst out crying. Removing hitt„ cap tha young fellow held the door open for me, and keeping my smarting eyes bent on the ground I hastily made my exit. Never ln• j1 the 19 years of my life had I felt so an- noyed and resent( . "So much for m 'happy thought!'-" I reflected briefly, as I descended the deep stairway into the station.

For industrial purposes this new fuel is formed into briquettes of different sizes for different purposes. In Lon- don smokeless briquettes can already be bought at about $5 per ton. The smokeless coal is said to be composed of 95 per cent of coal dust and 5 per cent of a mixture of wood, tar and un - slacked lime.

Fiddled Into Office. If histol 'be true, Governor Taylor of Tennessee is not the only man who fiddled himself inn) office. Lbsging re- lates that in 1848.he met at Owego, N. Y., Major Cocteete, then nearly 80 years old, a son-in-law of General Phil- ip Schuyler, who told the story of his election to congress during the admin- istration of the elder Adams. A vessel was to be launched on one of the lakes in interior New York, and people came from afar to see it. The young folks gathered there, determined to have a dance at night. There was a fiddle, but no fiddler. Young Cochran was an amateur performer, and his service`s were demanded. He gratified the joy- ous company, and at the liupper table one of the gentlemen remarked, in commendation of bis talents, that he was "fit for congress." The matter was talked up, and he was nominated and elected a representative in con- gress for the district then comprising the whole of New York west of Schenectady. He always claimed to .have "fiddled himself into congress." It seems that history repeats itself, according to the proverb.—Washington Star Electricity In Medicine. Some curious expedients are neces- sary at times in the medical applica- tions of electricity. It is not uncom- mon now for the electric cabs in New York to be pressed into service as per- ambulating sources of electric power by physicians who are called upon sud- denly to make X ray examinations of patients who are in localities where electricity from street circuits is not on tap. Recently on a steamiloat ply- ing from New York to a neighboring town a passenger undertook to commit suicide by swallowing laudanum. Among those on the vessel a physician was discovered, but naturally he did not have with him the -apparatus for hocking the patieni into sensibility. t was for awhile n even chance hether or not the s Gide would be uccessful.

SCENIC FGGBOWSU Agricultural Land Seekers RARE AND BEAUTIFUL HALOS THAT APPEAR ONLY ALONG SEACOASTS. "The rainbows," says Mr. Wright in The Land of Sunshine, "believed in our school days to promise that the world shall never again be destroyed by flood, are so common that' probably every grown person has seen at least brie every year of his life. "Fogbows are of rarer occurrence. These weird apparitions of the fogs oc- cur only, so far as I know, In countries bordering on the seacoast. "Recently near Los Angeles I saw a most remarkable fog halo, of which an imperfect idea is given by the illus- tration. I had climbed to .the top of a hill about 500 feet altitude, where ev- erything below me was shrouded in a thick undulating fog that spread over the country like a vast white sea. The sun arose above. the fog clear and bright.' At half past 5 o'clock the fog FOGBOW. . began to drift. With this movement the halomade its appearance, unusual- ly (_dear and -sharp. Walking to the crest of the hill to get a better view, my shadow was thrown 3n almost inky blackness upon the fog in the center of the halo. "The observer of a rainbow well knows that he is always situated ex- actly on a line between the sun and the bow itself. Around the head of the shadow was formed a series of pris- matic rings of clear rainbow brilliancy. 'As the bow began to fade streaks of light radiated from the head in the shadow and from between and behind therings. n g. In the g center, directly Y around the head of the shadow, was the same silvery whiteness of the pri- mary bow."

It should certainly be the exception • nowadays to encounter an ugly win- dow, considering the great variety of pretty et ttain fabrics available for - summer use. To name but a few, we have madrases—colored and plain— muslius, delicate china and other silks, Notthighani laces and beautiful Swiss nets. The arrangement, No. 1, in the first cut is a night departure from estrib- t WINDOW DRAPERY. lished modes and one which certainly has a very unconventional air: The coustruOtion Is not uncommon, how- ever, the characteristic feature being the manner of , banging it. A • stout screw ring Is 'placed in the ceiling, from which a long coril with tionble tassel depends. A large. careless look- ing knot should be tied around the gathered up portion of the two swags. This design would also be found a simple and effective way of treating a small archway such as may be found in many halls, staircases and landings. Fig. 2 is another uncommon style, known as the butterfly swag. The effect is obtained by cutting the swag in the usual way, giving, however, a little more fullness in depth, cutting out a small semicircle in the middle of the top and drawing this to a point. Oriel windows unrelieved by drapery present a very unfinished appearance. An easy method of treating them. is te have a succession of simple swags sus- pended from the rings of the pole and r disappearing behind the long curtains. Tails may be introduced at the angles if considered desirable, and cords and tassels here give a fight arid smart effect. Where -economy is studied both may be dispensed with. Fig. 3 shows a little more style and variety. The center is drawn up with the swags thrown over the pole at the angle and the tail showing behind. In this case 'it is better to draw up the corresponding side ofcRach swag sepa- rately, plait up the/tail and attach them to one another behind the pole. The center of the side windows may be treated with cord and tassels in the same way as the middle one if de- sired. The last design can be carried out in madras muslin or in any of the heavier materials, such as wool, serge or tapestry. Althorigh the madras muslin may be ecru, the fringe need not necessarily be self colored A delicately tinted one in harmony with the prevailing tints around the window would be cfulte per- missible. When joining the coiling swags and tails of the windows,,the back of the former and - the front of the latter should be placed together. This will be more readily understood if a straight piece of material is festooned over a pole, when it will be seen that each alternate swag presents the oppo- site side to the room. A pole is not Indispensable; a plain lath will be found cheaper, and it will serve quite as well. In such a case the drapery would have to be tacked to .......):7;0,3314‘1421111WAVN '11.111=11FM11111111innffill-N ,-,ue- 14 pa .2 FOR AN ORIEL WINDOW. the front of the fat iati and finished off with a cord. It uld improve the scheme to add a s all box plaited or frilled heading. When frilling curtains, the muslin should be cut le long strips about five inches broa ' ti together and hem - Med along of.e . ,he the fullness put in may be anything from a half to a whole additional. It is a tedious job to turn down about half an inch on the other edge of the frill and draw it up, then attaching it to the curtain by hand. Those, however, who have a sewing machine with frilling attach- ment can enormously reduce the labor on a pair of curtains and make very even and uniform frills. How Needles Are Made. Needles are all made by machinery. The piece of mechanism by which the needle is manufactured takes the rough steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths, files the point, flattens the head.tpierces the eye, then sharpens the tiny instru- ment and gives it that polish familiar to the purchaser. There is also a ma. chine by which needles are 'counted and placed in the papers in which they are sold, these being afterward folded by the same contrivance. As They Ccateern Children—Snarges tion • to the Mothers. The summer exodus of mother an child has already begun. Some ar seeking health and strength in th heart of our grand old mountains, oth ers in quaint vine clad farmhouses i the country, where the children ca wear old clothes, climb, ride on ha wakians, fight hornets' nests and, w fear, eat green apples unniolested, an other happy bands armed with thei little spades and shovels are on th way to breathe the ozone from the sea To -the mothers of those seaward •bound a few suggestions are offered it the New York Heinle Too Often little ones are brough home ill in a few weeks, and the moth ers declare it was the food or "the ma laria from a pond back of the hotel" or "the bad drinking water." More often it is because the mothers have allowed their children most injudicious liberty. Sea air, with all its tonic effect and ozone, cannot digest crab salad in the stomach ot a 5 -year-old child. The diet must be watched. The sea bath should never be taken immediately after eat- ing, ffor should children be allowed to stay in the sun immediately after a meal or the sea bath. The- clothing, of a child at the sea- shore should be warmer 'than that worn in country or city, -tor damp, fog- gy mornings come and piercing east winds. Then long stockings should be put on, for in spite of all the views on hardening children this custom of ex- posing the binder flesh of babies to the cold is all wrong. Flannel sacques, shawls and probably woolen shirts foi a few days must protect the little bod- ies. Children should be kept in the air as much as possible. Babies are better in carriages, but the walk in the nurses' arms is very good too. One of the best exercises in the world for both healthy and sick children is playing in the warm, dry sand and in a shaded place. The sun at the seashore is very strong and glaring, and the\ eyes should be rested. How happy the children are in a sand heap! Their little muscles are expended and strengthened as they work over their mud pies and forts and castles. The hour for the bath is the event of the day. Children who are timid should never be forced into the water. They should be dressed In a bathing suit and -allowed tu paddle. Gradually, as they see other children venturing in, they wiJL lose their fear, 'and the bath will become a delight. A child should nev- er bathe long, as the exhaustion follow- ing is intense. I have seen foolish fa- thers carrying shrieking babies into the surf. Of course they are afraid. The nervousness coming from the fright undoes any good the salt bath may do. .With many children warm water should be used, as some little bodies cannot stand the cold water shock. d e e n n y d r e Vacation Mishaps. In poisoning occasioned by poison ivy or oak the skin becomes red, swollen, hot and Irritable, with intense itching and burning. As the poison is due to a volatile acid a solution of baking soda or saleratus may be used or, still bet- ter, strong soap suds. Later dry starch dudu ed oerthe affected part is benefi- cia ted mushrooms cause colic, vomiting, dilated pupils and muscular weakness. An emetic of hot water and mustard should be given at once. Lat- er a tablespoonful orecastor oil and stimulants, together with,applied heat. The symptoms usually oefur within an hour. When a person has been bitten by a snake, the wound sla‘uld be immediate- ly applied to the mouth and the poison removed by suction. It is believed the venom his no effect upon the mouth unless cuts and abrasions are present. The treetment of a wound caused by the bite of a dog Is substantially the same. Wounds caused by tarantulas, centi- pedes, spiders, bees, wasps and other insects are rarely dangerous. The lo- cal application of bicarbonate of soda generally relieves the pain at once. Wet fresh earth, common salt or a slice of an onion are also valuable.— Table Talk. • . The First Cookbook. To the Romans belong the honor of having produced the first European cookery book, and, though the author - Ship is uncertain, it Is generally attrib- uted to Cmlius Apicus, who lived un- der Trajan, 114 A. D. Here are two recipes from this ancient collection: "First, for a sauce to be eaten with boiled fowl, put the following ingredi- ents into a mortar: Aniseed, dried mint and lazer root; cover them with vine- gar, add dates and pour in liquamen (a distilled liquor luade from large fish which were salted and allowed to turn putrid in the sun), oil and a small quantity of mustard seeds. Reduce all to a proper thickness with sweet wine warmed, and then poer this same over your chicken, which should previously be boiled in aniseed water." The second recipe shows the same queer mixture of ingredients: "Take a wheelbarrow of rose leaves and pound in a mortar; add to it j)riiins of two pigs and two thrushes boiled and mixed with the chopped up yolk of egg, oil, vinegar, pepper and wine. Mix and pour these together and stew thein steadily and slowly till the perfume is developed."—Chambers' Journal. The Way Humorists Do.

Suicides and CrIoaroadd. It bas been suggested that suicides were buried at crossroads because it was usual to erect a cross at such places. Those who were excluded from holy rites were buried there as the place next in sanctity to consecrated ground. It was an old superstition that the devil danced at crossroads and that the erection of a cross thereat would prevent ,such unseemly prac- tices. From this or some other super- stition, such aa the fear that his ghost might walk the earth, arose the cus- tom of driving a stake through the sui- cide's body. These plausible theories have gained many advocates, but it is more likely that burial at crossroads was intended as a mark of indignity. The temples, or rather altars, of the heathen Teu- tons were mostly at the junction of crossroads. The place of execution was there, and criminals were sacri- ficed to the gods; hence suicides were buried at the crossroads to give as strong an impression as possible of heathen burial. Probably, too, the pub- licity of such a spot, which insured the fact that a great number of people would become directly aware of the degrading consequeeces of the crime, he a good deal to/do with its selec- t46n. A curious fact in this connection is to be found In Plato's Laws (book ix. chapter 12). The murderer of any of his near kin, after being put to death, was "cast out of the city, naked, in an appointed place where three roads Meet, and let all the magistrates, in be- half of the whole state, carry each a stone and hurl it at the head of the dead body." An Indian's Criticism, An Indian's respect for a woman, says a Hindoo in The Universal Maga- zine, increases a hundredfold after his visit to England. But he finds it diffi- cult to reconcile himself to Qie low necked dress which society imeoses on women, nor does he understand the ethics of an English dance which af- fords a friend or stranger an oppor- tunity to place his arm around the waist of a fair woman who happens to be the wife of another, and he finds neithernelther rh eason in the rule of society which, while permitting a woman to drink with male friends, de- nies her the privilege of smoking. "As regards this criticism," comments an English woman, "the distinguished writer will learn, if he remains in Eng- land long enough to acquire an inti- mate footing In a fashionable circle, that women in society do not hesitate to smoke in the company of intimate friends of either sex in the privacy of home."

I once remember having a noted Lon- don doctor out at sea for a little ama- teur fishing. He would like to see a loligo cuttle caught, he said. I warned him of what was likely to happenwhen gaffing was on, but he did not care. "Surely," he said, "I can dodge such guesswork as this must be for so short a time." I felt dubious as to tbe result, seeing his white shirt was a prominent object through his having such an open vest. Finally a cuttle took the bait, and as 1 drew it toward us the doctor lost all thought of hieiself and his adornments in his admiration of the movements ' and the beautiful eyes of the creature when in an instant, as I gaffed it, the whole iuk charge struck him in the throat and sadly blackened his white ' habiliments.—Contemporary Review. Costly Violins, The current value of Stradivarius violins In London is said to range from £80 to £800. In Stradivarius' own time one Cervetto of London received a con- signment of the master's instruments which he was commissioned to sell for £4 apiece. But he was obliged to send them back, as no Englishman at that time would buy them at any such fig- ure. Stradivarius himself ls said to have asked a price of 4 louts d'or for 1 each of his violins "Norma" and LibertY.

Not long after, 'singing the line in the "Elisir d'Amore" describing how a peasant enlisted, "Vende la liberta, si fe soldato" (He sold his liherty to be a soldier), he waggishly altered it to "Vende itt leaita, si fe seat." This variation in the text was received with lively applause by the who al- ways warmly welcomed anything that' savored of political opposition. The next day the poor singer was summoned by the head of the police to receive a reprimand for having said that `.`loyalty could be sold," to which Ronconi replied by observing that a few days beforq he had been taught in a way he was not likely to forget that "lealta" ought always to be vnibstitut- ed for "liberta."—Pietro Orsi's "Mod- ern Italy."

The House In the Heated Term. The heated term is a trying season for the stay at home housekeeper. H h Id d ti b Household o u es, always ensome, become more so during the summer time, and yet few women understand the art of lessening their responsibili- ties. Wise housekeepers discard the heavy draperies, carpets and cumber- some furniture and choose instead a furnishing that is more suitable for tbp-, healed season. What a boon to th housekeeper to be able to dispense even temporarily with the duet col- lecting material! One can hardly real- ize bow refreshing a barely furnished room is on a hot, dusty day. Justice In Haiti. Judicial procedure in Haiti is in cer- tain instances not untouched by hu- mor. A Haitian owed a trader $28. A. judgment requiring the Haitian to pay $4 a ticeek into court was given, and the trader was to send a messenger every week to the magistrate for the money. In due time he sent for the first installment and was informed that the Haitian had not paid up, but that he should be thrown into prison for his failure. Three weeks passel] with the same result. One morning the ffaitian came to the trader's store. He was, he said, a poor man, much married, a man to whom, therefore, expense came. What good, he asked, would accrue to the trader if he, the poor man, was thrown Into prison? Let the trader forgive him his debt and earn thereby untold rewards in a future state. - After some talk the trader gave bit a letter of remission, which he went off to present to the magistrate. The af- fair was settled, but the Haitian was struck by the bad grace with which thit magistrate distriissed him, and he forthwith returned to the trader and asked him if he had received the $8 he had already paid into court. The trad- er looked surprised and said he bad received nothing. "Then, since you, have remitted the debt, that $8 is mine," said the Hai- tian. Accordingly, he went off to the court to present his clahn. The magistrate at once committed him to prism. A consul who had beard the story asked the magistrate what the Haitian was sent to prison for. "For contempt of court," was the reply. A Child's Philosophy. It is one of the prime secrets of hap- piness to recognize and accept one's natural limitations, but philosophy of this kind is perhaps hardly to be ex- pected of children. A little girl had sent back her plate for turkey two or three times and bad been helped bountifully to all the good things that go to make a grand Christ- mas dinner. Finally she was observed looking rather disconsolately at her un- finished plate of turkey. "What's the matter, Ethel?" asked Uncle John. "You loolcmournful." "That's just the matter," said Ethel. "I am mor'n full." And then she wondered why every- body laughed.—Stray Stories. Didn't Know Dore. In discussing the want of compre- hension of one branch of art for anoth- er Mr. Sutherland Edwards says that when GustaveDore g to iblustrate the "Idylls of the King" Tennyson did not even know him by name. 1 "I wonder what they are going to do with my 'Idylls' next," he said to a friend. "They have now got a man called 'Dore' (without the accent) to 11- lustrate them." THE SONNET'S VOICE. [A toetrical lesson by the seashore.] Yoh silvery billows breaking on the beach Fall back in foam beneath the star shine deur, The while my rhymes are murmuring in your ear A restless lore like that the billows teach, For on these sonnet waves my soul would reach From its own depths and rest within you, dear, As, through the billowy voices yearning here. Great nature strives to find a human speech. A sonnet is a wave of melody; From heaving waters of the impassioned soul A billow of tidal music one and whole Flows in the "octave;" then, returning tree,. Its ebbing surges in the "sestet'. roll Rack to the deeps of life's tumultuous sea. —Theodore Watts. Mistakes In Christening. At Ramsbury Manor, England, there once -resided a poulterer's family of the ame of Duck. The third son was to e christened, and the mother wanted the name to be William. Just before starting for church the nurse ran up stairs to the father, who was laid up with gout, to tell bit they were off. "What be going to call un, nurse?" "Missus says It's to be William," was the reply. "William be blowed!" said the invalid. "Call un plain Bill!" In accordance with these laconic instruc- tions the nurse gave the name of Plain - bill to the clergyman, and the Infant - was christened accordingly. In an even funnier way is the queer Christian name of Mr. Ono Tichiner of Peckham 'accounted for. When his parents and sponsors arrived at the church, his name had not been settled upon, and when the clergyman said, "Name this child." one of the friends said "John," and another said "Oh, no!" meaning not John, and, as no one else spoke, the clergyman thought that was to be his name and baptized him Ono. The full account of the baptism is contained in Blanck's "History of Camberwell." A clergyman's son vouches &• the following: "My father was baptizing a boy of 6 years of age. The names giv- en were Benjamin Joseph. After the - ceremony he said to the boy, 'You have two very good names, and you ought to be s good boy. How did you come by them? 'Please, sir,' said the boy, 'we was twins, and the other died!'" Easy For Him. "You understand, of course," pursued the lawyer, "what is meant by a 'pre- ponderance of evidence?' " "Yes, sir," replied the man whom he was examining with reference to his qhalifications as a, juror. "Let me have your idea of it, if you please." "I understand it, 1 tell you." "Well, what is it?" "Why, anybody , can understand that." "I would like to have your definition of it." "I know what it is, all right. When I tell you I know what a thing is, I know it. That's all there is about that." "Well, what was the question I asked you?" "You ought to know what that was, If you've forgot your own questions, don't try to get me to remember them for you." "I don't want to hear any more of that kind of talk," interposed the court. "Answer the questions addressed tc you by the counsel." "Judge, 1 did. He asked' me if 1 knew what it was, and I said I did." "Are you sure you und8jtand what is meant by the term 'prep derance of evidence?' " - "Of course 1 am, judge." 1, let us hear your idea of it." "It's evidence previously pondered." —Chicago Tribune. No Time to Waste. "I'lp a business man," he said brusquely, "and I've no time to waste. I want to marry your daughter. Can I have her?" The merchant g4sped. "Yon seem to be .in a good deal of a hurry," he suggested. "I am," replied the suitor. "As I told you, I am a business man. I made up my mind that I wanted a wife, and I started out to get one. I've secured the refusal of two girls this rimming, but my option expires in 24 hours, and if I can't have your daughter I want to close with one of them before it's too late. Do I get her?" "Good. There's nothing like having a clear understanding. One of the oth- ers lives in the next block, and the other is half a mile away. I'll take the nearest, save a good ten minutes of valuable time and get back to_my desk in time to look over the late`, mail. There's no „use letting the \minor affairs of life encroach on one's business. Good day, sir."..—Calcago Post. Yucatan Ruins. "Apropos of the wonderful ancient ruins in Yucatan," said a New Orleans college professor, "there is one very fortunate circumstance which has pro- tected them almost entirely from spo- liation by the Indians. It is currently believed by the natives all through that part of the country that the ruins are haunted and that devils will carry away anybody who attempts to molest them. This superstition has leen en- couraged by explorers and is a better safeguard than a picket of soldiers." A Gem of London Humor. "Well, goodby, Mr. Green. It was so nice of you to come. It does father such a lot of good to have some one to talk to." "I was delighted to come, Miss Brown, but I'm afraid I'm not much of a conversationalitit." "My dear Mr. Green, don't let that trouble you. Father's ideal Hstener ii an absolute idiot, with no conversation whatever, and I know he bas enjoyed himself tremendously tonIght!"—Lon- don Punch. #4, • k THE GAZETTE. t• IRVING TOAD a SON.

It contains a large amount of historic information about the northwest, brought down to the present and easily understood. The principal chapter' relates to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and its partial exploration in 1804-6 by Lewis and Clark. This was the greatest exploration ever attempted by the United States, and the story of the expedition's adventures on rivers, among Indians, and in the moun- tains outflotions fiction. The Story of a Railway is a recital of the difficulties attending the building of the Northern Pacific across mountains and plains and its ultimate success, and is In itself an epitomized history of the northwest.

It is interesting to note the number of new words which come into the htnguage, and the number of words that die and become obsolete. A dictionary fifty years old is almostuseless for we natur- ally turn to a new dictionary for the up common and newly coined expressions or words relating to scientific discoveries.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local arplications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. The is only one way to cure deafness, and that s by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is used by an in• flamed condition of the muc s lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists ?5c. F. J.

Outside of the lim- ited areas of big trees in California, there are no such forests of One, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., as are found here. The trees are long and straight, and the massive timbers and fine shingles made from them are shipped all over the world. Washington fruit is a product of great value. Its flavor and color are unsur- passed. East of the Cascade Mountains the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer in- dependent of rain. West of the moun- tains irrigation is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for all purposes. Can- neries and fruit drying establishments can be operated profitably in this state. Grain, hops, and alfalfa are very profit- able crops, and beet sugar is rapidly making. headway. Washington is a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all professions, and labor is wanted and is paid remuner- ative prices. Fuel, coal as well as Wood, is abundant and cheap. Schools and churches abound, the state is well sup- plied with railways. Varied altitudes and climates render this country a desirable place of residence and all can be suited.

On such a day' nd in such a scene as this Evangeline Robin felt no though the world should hold nothing of strife or pain or ugliness; indeed, the particular world in which she moved and breathed and had her being held little hut the surface knowledge that such things existed, for fate had favored Evangeline and, ..not content with bestowing on her beauty of per- son and mind, had dowered her with the great gift of song in its divine per- fection. Now she sauntered down the wind - 4 ing pat'bway that led from her castle terrace to the copse beneath. A man, following her with hesitating steps, as though he feared a repulse if he presented himself too suddenly, took courage to approach when the trees veiled thein from the castle windows, . and, though she•made aim welcome by neither word nor- sign, walked at her side until the whim seized her to seat herself on a bank and search for the desultory` flowers that. were beginning' to peep here and there. It was at this moment that a visitor who had driven up to tbe castle in n dogcart' descended and asked for Mlle. ' Rotten. "I am afraid she is unable to see any one this morning," • said tho butler; - "she is resting for tonight." Dr. Harrowden knit his brows ill per- plexity. He remembered that the sing . er had generously offered to throw own her castle to the public on that night and to give the first entertain- nent in her new theater for the benefit of a fund for wounded soldiers. All the eountry were clamoring for tickets. Fabulous prices had been paid even for standing room, and - report said the diva, having spared no pains r expense to make ..the occasion a s ▪ cess, was about to eclipse herself in a new part, specially written and com- posed for her, in aneoperatic adaptation of "Othello." "The matter is a very urgent one," said Dr. Harrowden, ,after a pause. "I have a request to make of Dille. Rohan that can only be made personally. If you will risk her displeasure and allow me to make my way to her, I will take all the blame. I may say it is a ques- tion almost of life and death." The man, who ktltw Dr. Harrowden as one whose reputation, even in a vil- lage practice, gave weight to his words, yielded and, telling him that mademoi- oelle had taken the path toward the copse, led him through the conserva- tory and directed him to the shortest way. \tee' Ile came -so suddenly upon the little clearing where Evangeline was that neither -she nor her companion perceiv- ed him.

"Alt, doctor," she said, a little shak- en still, but smiling, "it is a long time since I have seen you, which speaks well for my health, though not for my hospitality, But you are coming to- night, I hope?" "You have asked me to the castle' most . kindly," he answered quietly, "'but I am a busy man, as you know, mademoiselle, and have to deny myself u)any pleasures- I have ventured to intrude on you, for which you must please lay the blame solely on me, be- cause I have a little patient down there in the village whose recovery seems to depend entirely on ydu."

"She is not dead," be said briefly. "Carry her to her room. I will attend to her." Wondering exclamations broke out on all sides. What had happened? Had . e count really attempted Eva's life? How had the doctor been aware of her danger? and a thousand other ques- tions and surmises. Later, when Eva, very weak and ill, had recovered con- sciousness, she told the story of the count's strange, wild love for her, an infatuation which had seized him when they first met in the opera house at Milan, of her inability to shake off the influence which he exercised over her in spite of her dread and dislike of him, of his appearance at the castle when she was arranging the cast of "Othel- lo," and Imperious demand to be al- lowed to remain there and to play the title rode. • • • • • • • "How can I ever thank you enough?" she said to Dr. Harrowden when, after many days of suffering from the count's stiletto wound, he came, at her request to see her.

"The thanks are due really to your- self," he said gently. "Your kindness in singing to that poor little child was the cause of your preservation. I went to see her that evening and found her just awakened from a strange dream of you, which had left the impression on her mind that you were in -clanger. 'The beautiful lady with the angel's voice,' she called you. She would not be comforted until I promised to go up to the castle and assure myself that no harm threatened you. Her persistence gave me a touch of anxiety, and it came to me with a sort of intuition as I watched the count that he was mad. I felt sure he meant mischief.

Oh, tell me how to thank you!" "I dare ask nothing," he said, "since I dare not ask too much." And they were both silent. But in their silence a hope and a promise lay.

A correspondeut.sent the following narrative: A festive bluejacket was seen from a ship in Malta harbor danc- ing on the top of, the parapet wall at Fort Rlcasoll, First his hat blew over, and then, leaning ovc: to look for it, he lost his balance and fell after it—a sheer drop of 30 feet or inose. The surgeon on duty was landed with a party to bring off the remains fee identification. They found them crawl 1 Ing about on hands and knees and in- quired if he was seriously hurt. "Hurt be blowed!" was bis reply. -Where's my hat?" Only a Misunderstanding. Several years ago, in a well known wholesale house in a big manufactur- ing town, an old bachelor bookkeeper, who had been many years with the firm, suddenly announced that he was to be married. The partners gave him a week's holi- day, and his fellow clerks raised a little purse and presentedt to pay the expenses of his wedding rip. A couple of days after the wedding one of the members of the firm went down to a seaside resort, and there, lounging about the parade and ap- parently enjoying himself immensely, he saw his recently married old book- keeper, but alone. "Where's your wife?" asked the prin- cipal. "She's at home," was the reply. "But I thought you had money given you for a wedding trip?" "So I had," was the reply, "but I didn't understand that it was intended to include her."—Pearson's Weekly. The Word "Salary." The way languages are built up is very interesting, and the derivation of the word "salary" is curious as well. In aritcient times Roman soldiers re- ceived a daily portion of salt as part of their pay. "Sal" is the Latin for salt, and when the salt was in course of time commuted for money the amount was called salarium, or salt looney; hence our word "salary" and hence, doubtless, the expression "not worth bis salt"—that is, not worth his "salt money," or salary. Elect of Paternal Example. Mr. Tucker, who sometimes goes gunning, was trying to teach Tommy , the meaning of the word "brace" as applied to game. "Now, Tommy," he said, "if you should go hunting and kill 20 pheas- ants, for instance, how many would you say you had bagged?" "Fifty," replied Tommy. — Chicago Tribune. FOR A SUMMER AFTERNOON.

The Right Way to Remove a Glovl. Do not take a glove off carelessly if you desire it to last well. In taking off turn the wrist over the fingers and draw until the fingers are half uncover- ed, then the finger ends may be loosen- ed by the tips. This makes it an easy matter to readjust the glove right side out. It is a good plan to breathe in a glove after taking it off. It preserves the softness of the kid by quickly dry- ing any slight moisture. Improving His Time. I The oldest German coal mines were "So you were in Paris?" first worked in 1195.

Parisiennes with their proverbial sense of fitness have selected foulard for the coats, which they wear on the short trips to the ex- position, which are now in vogue. How to Fold a Dress Skirt. All ' cotton shirts retain their shape and hang better if folded each time after they are worn instead of being hung in the closet. They should be folded in horizontal lines rather than longitudinal lines, as the tendency in wearing is always toward lengthwise creases. First stretch the garment out the full width, then double it down- ward from the belt to half the length of the skirt, then double it over once in a lengthwise fold, the only one that should be made. Keep a long wide box covered with denim and lined with cambric to accommodate these skirts and pile them in lightly one above the other. This method of folding tends to smooth out the lines and folds of wear. —Household. Fashion Echoes. In Paris cherry color is the mode. It looks particularly beautiful in crepe de chine or silk muslin, especially when the skirts are arranged in minute plaits with a line of passementerie on every one. Lace colored gloves are le dernier cri, the suede dyed to exactly the peculiar tint of old lace. They are very becom- ing to the hand, softer looking than dead white. That it is a season of lace is undoubt- ed. It may be as an entire robe or on a parasol or as a boa or cravat or ap- plied as insertion on foulard or muslin, but somewhere, perhaps everywhere, there it is. Foulard gowns for general all around wear are the most useful of all the sea- son's costumes. Hand painted gowns are one of the elegant fashions of the season.

Fal- con island. which is one of the Tonga or Friendly group. In the south Pacif- ic, is the 13 puzzle of navigators. Scarcely are charts completed show- - Ing its location -when the mysteri- ous island entirely disappears from sight. Then when sailors have made up their minds that no such island ever existed and that the man who originally discovered it must have been dreaming it will bob up again above the surface of the ocean like a bad penny. Falcon island is or was—it is always dangerous to speak of it in the,pres- FALCON ISLAND. ent tense—located 35 miles distant from its nearest neighbor, Tofooa, one of the principal members of the Tonga group. It was first seen in 1885 and at once attracted the attention of scien- tists, who were anxious to determine the nature of the forces which could add another island to the thousands which already dotted the surface of the south Pacific. It was easy to deter- mine that Falcon island wag of volcan- ic origin. Its cliffs rose more than 130 feet above the level of the sea, and on the flat portions of the island it was only necessary to dig down six or eight feet to reach a temperature which would boil water, while on the surface the thermometer only marked 85 de- grees above zero. The fact that the island is entirely composed of volcanic conglctnerate and that there is a distinct smell of sulphur in the air makes it certain tl'at it was driven up lay a submarine volcano. The most careful scientific examina- tion of Falcon island was that made by the officers of the British ship Ege- ria in October, 1889. They found the island entirely uuinhabitted and pro jecting out of the ocean in the shape of a high and symmetrical black oval. It was almost destitute of either ani- mal or vegetable life. Three or four seedling plants, evidently carried to the island by waiideriug sea birds, led taken root, and two young cocoanut trees, not In a flourishing condition, were all the signs of vegetation, and a single sand piper and a solitary moth were the only living things which careful search of the island revealed. At the time of the Egeria's visit, four years after the island appeared for the first time, the waves of the ocean, which beat upon the high, black and barren shore of the island with great velocity, were fast eating it away. It was predicted then that within a few years it would entirely disappear unless some new volcanic activity should give it a new lease of life. Since that visit Falcon island has twice disappeared, only to be driven up again by the resistless force operat- ing beneath it. Later explorers have made certain the fact of its voice origin. They have even found some natives who, during the prolonged eruption in 1885, which resulted in the formation of the island, went In their canoes from Tofooa and watched the forces of the volcano at work. Before its last disappearance, in 1898, still other visitors bad discovered apertures in the upper part of the grim black cliff from which smoke and steam were still issuing. Measuring High Temperature. - A mercury thermometer for high temperatures has been designed in Germany. It consists of a small cylin- drical receiver of steel closed atone end. At this end a capillary steel tube of one-quarter millimeter inter- nal diameter le connected. This tube can be made of any length up to 50 yards, so that the indications of the instrument can be seen at a considera- ble distance from the place of which the temperature is required to be known. The capillary tube Is con- nected to another small, flattened tube, which is wound in the form of a spiral. The whole of these tubes and tire cavity are completely filled with mer- cury. The heating of the small cylin- drical receiver then causes the spiral to dilate and to untwist. One end of the spiral being held and the other being fixed to a suitable gearing, the indication of the temperature can be given on a dial which can be seen for a considerable distance.

South Africans Consider It Sinful to Destroy Them. A correspondent writes of the nu- merous swarms of locusts which from time to time settle ou South African farms, and the method by which the farmers destroy them. The locusts cover everything, and are describes as blotting out the sun in their flight till It seemed shining through aq orange mist. The rush of their wings fills the air with sound like the roar ing of a storm through a pine forest and the bodies of those which, wearied with flight, fell to the earth covered the ground like a living carpet. Seen at a little distance the mala body of the swarm resembles a snowstorm. the wings diaphanous in the sunlight. drifting along before- the wind of sinking softly toward the ground. I1 is impossible to ride through the living mass, as the buffeting of the face and hands of the rider becomes intolerable. As seen from behind the swarm 1s visi- ble for miles, trailing across the coun- try like a big band of smoke floating along before the breeze. When the swarm alights it destroys every green blade of vegetation, and leaves be- hind it a track of ruin and desolation. A method of dealing with the pests with fair effectiveness, even in the fully developed flying insect stage, has been discovered in the colony. A fun- gus has been found which thrives rap- idly on their bodies with invariably fatal effect. The disease spreads with extraordinary rapidity, and if once a swarm be infected the whole mass of insects disappears in a few days' time. Cultures of the fungus are sup- plied to the farmers by the govern- ment, and when a swarm approaches a neighborhood all the farmer has to do is to ride out with a can of the material and a sprinkler of twigs, and sprinkle it here and there on the in- sects as they fly past him. In a few days there will be an end of that particular swarm. It is mentioned as characteristic of the mental develop- ment of the local Dutch that they re- fuse to have anything to do with the new metholill of exterminating what is one of thel greatest obstacles to suc- cessful farfning in South Africa. They say God created the locusts and it is sinful to destroy them. New Cure For Seasickness. Oxygen is the newest cure for sea- sickness. The remedy comes from Paris, where two physicians have been engaged for some time in the attempt to lessen one difficulty In the way of American visitors to the exposition. Nor could any more welcome service be rendered. The first steps toward the invention of a new remedy was to determine what seasickness really is. The con- clusion at which these wise doctors arrived is that "the great and sudden disturbance of the viscera and the contraction of the diaphragm are the principal causes of seasickness." Oxygen, they accordingly decided, was the logical remedy. The proper course for the traveler, then, is to provide himself with a sup- ply of tubes containing pure oxygen. At the first symptoms of seasickness some of the oxygen should be Inhaled, but only through the mouth, the nos- trils being kept closed. The Inhala- tions should be long and made at regu- lar intervals. Favors Late Suppers. A London doctor in an interview re• cently spoke strongly against the the- ory that late suppers are injurious. He declares, in fact, that many per- sons who remain thin and weakly, In spite of all precautions in regard to diet, etc., owe the fact largely to habit- ual abstemiousness at night. He says, very truly, that physiology teaches us that, In sleeping, as in waking, there is a perpetual waste going on In the tis- sues of the body and It seems but logi- cal that nourishment should be con- tinuotss as well. The digestion of the food taken at dinner time or In the early evening is figished, as a usual thing, before or by bedtime, yet the ac- tivity of the processes of assimilation, etc., progresses for hours afterward. And when one retires with an empty stomach the result of this activity is sleeplessness and an underwasting of the system. - Insulation Not Necessary. An interesting and Instructive experi- ment, which developed valuable in- formation, was recently carried out in connection with the Mont Blanc ob- servatory. The investigators, one of whom lost his life in carrying out the work, connected the top of Mont Blanc with the station at Grand-Mulets, a distance of over a mile, by a large gal- vanized iron wire, laid directly on the surface of the ice. This was done In order to determine the insulating pow- er of the glacier, which they found to be almost perfect. The importance of establishing this fact lies in its inesti- mable value to exploring parties in ice - fields and high mountain regions, as communication can thus easily be maintained with a base. Sheridan's Wit. Richard Brinsley Sheridan was one day dining with Lord Thurlow when his lordship produced some fine Con- stantia which had been sent him from the Cape of Good Hope. Sheridan, who saw the bottle emptied with un- common regret, set his wits to work to get another. Failing in his attempt, however. he turned toward a gentleman seated farther down and said, "Sir, pass me up that decanter, for I must return to Madeira since I cannot double the Cape."—San Francisco Argonaut. • • Strongest, purest, most economical and healthful of all leavening agents: There are many imitation baking powders sold at a low price.

At this junction of the thoroughfare and Island lake ou a dead pine more than 100 feet high sat a white headed eagle. In the air a large fishhawk was sailing over the water looking for his dinner 200 or 800 feet below him. What penetrating orbs of vision na- ture has endowed this bird with! There, he gives his llghtninglike shot to the water, seems almost submerged, only to reappear with a four pound pike in his talons. Slowly he rises, going toward the woods, where he hopes to enjoy his well earned meal, but he has reckoned without his host. The king of birds has been watching his every movement and, if found suc- cessful, is in readiness to exact that tribute which the stronger always de- mands and compels from the weak. Almost quick as thought the eagle is pursuing\ the hawk, and for a little while a merry chase it is. But the eagle is the master, and the hawk in- stinctively feels it, as after a sudden, violent swerve, only just to evade the terrible claws of the now enraged eagle, he drops the prize and slowly tiles to the other end of the lake. There is no need for haste now, as the master was after tribute, not the hawk. Payment having been made by relinquishing valuable property, the eagle once more displays his wonderfnl activity by catching the pike before it strikes the water and then as leisurely to cover to gormandize.—Forest and Stream. Under Water. Strange acquaintances are to be made under water. H. Phelps Whit- marsh, who far a time adopted the calling of pearl fisher in Australian waters, tells this story of meeting a submarine monster: "It was a muddy day, and every- thing in consequence looked blurred and exaggerated. In the yellow distance I saw an immense dark object moving slowly toward me. As it came nearer I made out a central body with several great arms, or feelers, waving rhyth- mically. My heart was in my mouth. "I felt sure it was an octopus. Then, when I was about to stir up the mud at my feet to avoid being seen, I dis- covered that the enemy was nothing more than a fellow diver. The feelers I had Imagined were his arms, legs and linea. "A shadowy giant about 12 feet high, with huge hands and a head like a small barrel, was approaching. He walked slowly, his heavy boots raising the mud behind him like a cloud of dust, and his great central eye gleamed darkly. Although I knew him to be a man, it was with difficulty that I re- frained from taking to my heels. ,.At sight of me he, too, was startled, but he quickly recovered, and we shook hands. Then we nodded, grinned, showed each other the state of our bags and parted." The Lily of the Valley Poisonous, That delightfully fragrant and grace- ful flower, the lily of the valley, is de- nounced by the German papers as under Its simple beauty veiling a dead- ly poison. It is stated that both the stalks and the flowers of this lovely plant ccj►taln -prussic acid. It is ex- tremely dangerous to put the stalks. into one's mouth, as, if the sap hap- pens to get into even the tlnieat crack in the lips, it produces swelling, often accompanied with severe pain.

The co*taection between the aurora," sun spots and magnetic disturbances has never- been explained, but many observations have shown that it def- initely exists. The outbreak of a cy- clonic storm on the sun with the for- mation of spots is immediately regis- tered in every magnetic observatory on the earth. Sometimes the disturb- ance of terrestrial conditions is very marked. For example, on Feb. 13, 1892, a great spot, accompanied by enormous cyclonic disturbances. burst forth on the sun's surface.. That night a mag- nificent aurora was visible all over the northern half of the lilted States and in many parts of Europe. Telegraph- ing was carried on between New York and Albany without batterles,so strong were the earth currents.' The tele- graph system of Sweden was com- pletely paralyzed, and in Russia much difficulty was experienced with the tel- egraph lines. At the Kew observatory In England the magnetic needle swung two degrees out of its normal position. All this has furnished physicists and astronomers a fruitful bold for study, and a vast mass of observations has been accumulated, but so far no satis- factory explanation of the mysterious bond of sympathy between solar and terrestrial influences has been forth- coming, nor does any one yet know the true,nature of the aurora. O'Connell and the Tipperary Boys. At Tipperary, brave Tipperary, they wanted to take the horses from O'Con- nell's carriage and draw him them- selves upon his way. "This will never do," he said to his daughter -In-law. "Their intentions are excellent,but they'll get so excited that we'llvflnd ourselves in the ditch presently." Bursting open the carriage door, in a moment he was out among these gi- gantic Tipperary men, just as big as any one of them. "Now, boys, be rea- sonable," he said. "Leave the horses under the carriage." "But, shure, we'd rather pull you along ourselves, sir," was the reply as the preparations for so doing went gal- lantly forward. "All right; on your own heads be it!" cried O'Connell good humoredly, and, throwing off his coat, he set to with pugilistic intent, boxing them right and left until he got them to desist.,, Their amusement and delight knew no bounds, and when, on regaining the carriage, he doubled up his hand and shook it at them, with a beaming smile and a twinkling eye, the air was rent with . enthusiastic shouting, and he drove off even a greater hero than when he had ' come.—Donahoe's Maga- zine. • A Jolly Funeral. An Italian doctor named Louis Cor- tusio, who died in the eighteenth cen- tury, left some curious instructions as to the manner of- it -burial. This gen- tleman, by his will, forbade his rela- tions to weep at his funeral on pain of being disinherited and appointed him or her who should laugh the longest and loudest the principal heir and leg- atee. Not a stitch of black was to be displayed either in the house in which he should die or in the church in which he should be buried. They were both to be strewn with flowers and green boughs on the day of his funeral. In- stead of the tolling of bells lively mu- sic was to accompany his body to the church, and 50 minstrels were to march with the clergy sou ding their flutes, trombones and truttpets. The bier was to be carried by 12 marriageable girls clothed in green, to each of whom the testator bequeathed a sum of mon- ey for her dowry. Lastly, no one in the procession was to wear black. All these orders were absolutely carried into effect.—Household Words. Straw Horseshoes. Straw is put to strange uses in Ja- pan. Most of the horses are shod with straw. Even the clumsiest of cart horses wear straw shoes. In their case the shoes are tied around the ankles with straw rope and are made of the ordinary rice straw, braided so 1u that they form a sole for the foot about A half an inch thick. These soles cost about a half penny per pair, and when they are worn out they are thrown away. Every cart has a stock of fresh new shoes tied to the horse or to t . • front of the cart, and in Japan it wa formerly the custom to measure dis- tance largely by the number of horse- shoes it tock to cover the distance. So many ehorueshoes made a day's jour- ney, and the average shoe lasted for about eight miles of travel.

In his presidential address before the Society For the Promotion of En- gineef'ing Education, Dr. Mendenhall advocated the adoption of the metric system of weights and meastires. He said that there is a certain class of objectors who see something sacred in the yard and the pound because they are relics of antiquity, and something inherently wicked in the meter and the kilogram because they originated with the French during the revolution at the close of the last century. He quoted the words of Charles Sumner in the senate, uttered more than 30 years ago: "A system of weights and measures born of philosophy rather than chance is what we now seek. To this end old systems must be abandon- ed." A Tart Response. A certain doctor had occasion, when only a beginner in the medical profes- sion, rofession, to attepd a trial as a witness. The opposing counsel, In cross examining the young physician, made several sar- castic remarks, doubting the ability of so young a man to understand his busi- ness. Finally he asked, "Do you know the symptoms of concussion of the brain?" "I do," replied the doctor. "Well," continued the attorney, "sup- pose my learned friend, Mr. Baging, and myself were to bang our heads to- gether—should we get concussion of the brain ?" "Your learned friend, Mr. Baging, might," said the doctor. A Heroine. In a cemetery on the banks of the St. Lawrence river, near Prescott, is an epitaph saying that the stone was "erected to the memory of Elizabeth Richardson, who heroically defended the life of her lover by sticking a pitchfork in a mad cow's nose." The heroic Miss Richardson was 38 years old when she died. WHAT THE TAILOR SEES. Peculiarities of Men Being Measured For New Clothes. "Yes, there is a time for throwing out one's chest, just as there is a time for everything else," said the tailor, as he read out one of the measure- ments for the customer's coat, while the latter stood before him on the lit tle pedestal. "Now you probably have no idea, the tailor continued, as he stretched the tape over the shoulder and ,do under the armpit, "what a lot of trou- ble is made for us by deceitful cus- tomers—I mean those who, uncon- sciously or otherwise, seem to think they must stand very erect to be fitted properly. I am not telling you this for your benefit, Mr. Jones, as you are always most natural in your stand- ing." Jones smiles, and the tailor notes that Mr. Jones' figure straightens a little. "You see," continued the measurer, "the customer is not always frank with us, any more than the patient is always frank with telling a physi- cian about himself. There are oppor- tunities for deception in both cases. For instance, it very often occurs that a man with sloping shoulders comes up to be measured, and instead of al- lowing us to size him up as he really is, he throws himself all otit of position, and there is the deuce to pay generally when it comes around trying on the garment, for he cannot always strike the same position twice, much less keep it. Some men would no more admit that their shoulders needed `raising' or 'lifting,' as we say, than they would be ready to confess that their calves needed a little re -enforce- ment. Imagine what we occasionally get from a new customer—and It is incidentally true that these deceivers are the ones who do the most shifting Isom one tailor to another as a result of this lack of personal frankness! They are the ones who seldom get suit- ed anywhere. "Of course, there is an opportunity of using tact with this sort as well as in many other ways of our business. It, of course, would never do in the world for us to say to some men, `Shall I not put a little in the shoulder, just to fill it out a bit?' "To be sure, we can say, and with perfect sincerity, that coats are being cut this season to set squarely as pos- sible on the shoulder, but there are men who won't stand for that sort of thing, as 'they know what they want.' At any rate, they would have us believe they know, and It is a temptetaion to give a man what he wants, even 1f one realizes tb re may be loss of busi- ness on accouft of It in the long run But it is not always loss of business, for there are kinds of customers that are almost perpetually a loss—in wear and tear on our nerves, if not In actual work. Tailors have nerves, by the way, although they are not sometimes given credit for having any. "It is the best all round method tc give the man what we think be wants; or, at least, what we think he should have, taking down all the while with the nod of respectful and obedient understanding all that he prescribes for himself. That's a confession, air: but one has to meet the grand bluff with the same brand once in awhile. "This man who throws out his chest comes in many different species. One may owe us a trifle too much to be ex- actly on the level, and'hts financial dig- nity comes to the surface, something bir way of a 'very ready.belp in time of present trouble.' He doesn't want us to assume any undue pressure and he needs some clothes. We can tell him as soon as he heaves in sight. But we respect him by comparison with the vainglorious ones who twist them- selves out of shape. We get the first of the trouble when he Is on the stand, and it shows 'tip when he tries on the coat. When up before the three sided reflector he usually expands the limit, and the cutter may have to tell him to 'stand perfectly natural, please.' After doing the best we can, and the coat is all made up, he will find something wrong, or, perhaps, it may not crop out until his wife sees him as he is. There are so many parts that show poor fit. The shoulders may sag, the back wrinkle and, worse than all things else, the collar may sag down. The collar obviously may set In perfect position when he has his chest out and his head erect, and when he falls into his cus- tomary lag or stoop the thing doesn't hang snug—and he Is back upon us with grievances."—Boston Herald. Candia A bachelor farmer a little past his prime, finding himself hard up, thought the best thing be could do would be to marry a neighbor of his who was reputed to have some bawbees.

An the clothes, ma'am, an the shoes!" She raised her dripping hands and let them fall -with a souse into the soapsuds. She was a big, vig- orous wan, with a good humored face. One afternoon she revealed thettrend of her financial management. An or- gan grinder was playing on the street, and a group of children danced on the walk In front of the house and hung about the fence watching the monkey. The washerwoman stepped out to have a look. "Here, my dear," she called to one of them, "won't ye be for givin him foive cents?" And she put a nickel into the child's hand. "Well," remarked the cook when she came back into the kitchen, "you give away your 5 cents easier'n I would." "Sure," replied the other, "an what is foive cents?" "It would buy a loaf of bread for your children," said the eminently sen- sible cook, somewhat annoyed.

In his book, "America Today," Wil- liam Archer, reproduces rho following as examples of American humor: "On board one of the Florida steam- boats, which have to be built with ex- ceedingly light draft to get over the e frequent shallows of the rivers, an Englishman accosted the captain with the remark, 'I understand, captain, that you think nothing of steaming across a meadow where there's been a heavy fall of dew: `Well, I don't know about that,' replied the captain, 'but it's true we have sometimes to send a man ahead with a watering pot.' "Again, a southern colonel was con- ducted to the theater to` see Salvini's `Othello.'

" - He Came at Last. "John," exclaimed the nervous woman. "there's a burglar ID the house. I'm sure of it." John rubbed his eyes and protested mildly that It was imagination. "No It isn't; I beard a man down stairs." So John took a box of matches and went down. To his surprise his wife's suspicions were correct. Seeing that he was unarmed, the burglar covereb him with a revolver and became quite sociable. "Isn't it rather late to. be out of bed?" he remarked. ":1—er—a little bit," replied John. "You're too late, anyhow, because I've dropped everything out_ of the window and my pats have carried it off." "Oh, that's all right. I'd like to ask one -'or oryou, though." ' o eat is it?"

A peculiar butvery seriotits difficulty_ besets the operation of telegraph lines In the Argentine Republic. The small spider, of the variety that spins a long cobweb and floats on it in the air, Is so plentiful there that the 'floating webs settle on the wires in enormous quantities. As soon as dew falls or a shower of rain comes up every micro- scopic thread becomes wet and estab- lishes a minute leak. The effect of thousands and millions of such leaks is practically to stop the operation of the lines, and the government tele- graph department, especially in Buenos Ayres, has been put to vast inconven- ience by the cobwebs. A number of expedients have ben tried, but to nd avail. On the imphrtant line between Buenos Ayres and Rosario the effect of the spider webs is to cut down the speed of working from 800 to 400 to 30 messages an hour. The government has just determined, as a last resort, to connect the two points by an under- ground cable about 150 miles long. Stagecoach Mall. The Franklin (Pa.) Leader, referring to the first daily mail by stagecoach from Pittsburg to that place on April 17, 1850, quotes from a local report in The Spectator to show how the con- venience was viewed 111 those days as follows: "The daily mall brings us some 1,000 miles nearer the world and the rest of mankind.

The game in St. Paul on Sunday, Hastings vs. Lennon & Gibbons, was a very close and interesting one, in spite of the latter making ten runs in the fourth inning, enough to dis- courage the average players. Our boys rallied on the seventh, and would have won out but for the missing of a fly in the ninth. The attendance was large. .Jack Burke, of St. Paul, was umpire, and very fair in decisions.

The State of Vttehington is known as the evergreen state because of its vast forests. Outside of the lim- ited areas of big trees in California, there are no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar. etc., as are found here. The trees are long and straight, and the massive timbers and tine shingles made from them are shipped alt over the world. Washington fruit is a product of great value. Its flavor and color are unsur- passed. East of the Cascade Mountains the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer in- dependent of rain. West of the moun- tains irrigation is unnecessary and the` rainfall is ample for all purposes. Can- neries and fruit drying e8 ablishments can be operated profitably in this state. Grain, hops, and alfalfa a're very profit- able crops, and beet sugar is rapidly making headway. Washington is a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all profession and labor is wanted and is paid remuner- ative prices. Fuel, coal as well as wood is abundant and cheap. Schools a churches abound, the state is well sup- plied with railways. • Varied altitudes and climates render this country a desirable place of residence and all can be suited.

The annual publication of the North- ern Pacific Railway for 1900 should be in the hands of every school teacher and every one interested in his country's history. It contains a large amount of historic information about the northwest, brought down to the present and easily understood. " The principal chapter relates to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and its partial exploration in 1804-6 by Lewis and Clark. This was the greatest exploration ever attempted by the United States, and the story of the expedition's adventures on rivers, among Indians, and io the moun- tains outfictions fiction. The Story of a Railway is a recital, of the difficulties attending the building of the Northern Pacific across mountains and plains and its ultimate success, and is in itself an epitomized history of the northwest. The Geysers of Yellowstone Park are not, as some think, losing their power. la 1899 the greatest geyser, with one ex- ception, ever known in the park burst forth, and one of its eruptions is described in this book. The antics and habits of the park bears, so interesting to tourists, are also detailed. Another chapter describes two delight- ful mountain resorts in Montana and Northern California. The value of this publication as a supplementary text book will be seen at a glance by any teacher or parent. The book is for popular and general use and will be sent to any one sodding six cents, by Chas. 8. Fee, St. Paul, Minn. The District Coyish.

Mr. Thomas McNaughton, an early resident of Washington County, was drowned ill the Mississippi at New- port early Saturday morning. The circumstances surrounding his strange death are particularly sad. It was at first thought by many that in a fit of despondency he had taken his own life, but on a deeper reflec- tion, and from the fact that he had given no indications, left no note or letter of explanation behind him, con- sequently the accepted theory is that he ventured into the water, of which he was very fond, and got beyond his depth. le breakfasted at about six o'clock and walked down to the river, two or three blocks from the house.

Iler voice al- most broke. "You couldn't." "All, but suppose I had?" "Then," I said firmly,, "I should know it was just a slip, like the all make— like I make sometimes. I should not blame you, 'little one." I stroked her. long, sillf'y hair and thought how I r should miss her. I had never fully realized before how very fond I was of my fanciful little friend. "Will your promise to forgive me, 'dear Fred?" she asked pleadingly. "If there is anything to forgive." "There is." "Then, whatever it is, I forgive you. So you need' not tell me now." "I must," she said resolutely. "It is about you and Lucy—when you quar- reled." Shp stopped abruptly.. "Yes?" Lucy was her elder sister. We bad been engaged. "You wrote her an explanation—a satisfactory explanation." "Apparently she did -not think so. She never answered the letter that I gave you to deliver." . "She never had it," said Maisie, with a sob. "Maisie? "I—I kept it." She buried her face In tie p.i,liow. I was too astonished for worsts, ;but I kept stroking -,her hair. "I read It first. Then I burned !t." "But—why?" "Because I was a coward " she sob- bed—_"because I—oh, Fred, forgive me! Don't despise me more than you can hgip." A light flashed Into my mind. I bent over her and kissed her cheek. "My Little Maisie!" I said tenderly. "My lloor, loving, little girl! You cared so much as that for me!" "I thought, perhaps, if you didn't marry Lucy, and we were good friends, and I grew up—oh, Fred, I shan't grow up now!" I put my arms round her and held her close to me. "If you get well, May," I said, "and „ grow up, I shall like you better than 1 anybody." She laughed faintly. "I believe I always did." I wiped her rel eyes. "I shan't," she said. "So—you twill like her again, now, won't you?" I hesitated. My affection for Lucy died a natural death. It had newel been very beep. Neither, I fancied, had hers for me. "Time will prove," I said slowly. "I doubt it she"— "She does," said Maisie. "Has she told you so?" strainedly, and I went out on tiptoe. Lucy met me at the bottom of the stairs. "I have something to tell you," she said, "if you will spare me a min- ute." I bowed and followed her into the empty dining room. She sank i an armchair by the fireside, and stood by the mantelpiece, looking dow upon her. It seemed strange to be so near to her and so indifferent to the fact. For one thing was clear to me— that If I had evel?y really loved Lucy Dormer, I -loved her no longer. We were quite unsuited to one another, and if I married her it would merely bo a useless sacrifice of two lives. "I treated you badly," she said ab- ruptly. I raised my efebrows. After Maisie's confession there seemed no reason for the admission. "There were things," I said, "that needed explanation." "Some things are beyond explana- tion." "Perhaps they are better left so." "One can ask forgiveness." There was a faint note of entreaty in her voice. I fidgeted Impatiently with a little ornament on tantelshelf. If I asked for forgiveness she would give more. "If one desires forgiveness," I said, at length. It sounded brutal, but it might avoid worse things. "Oh!" she cried, "I do." "You!" I said with astonishment. "You! What have I to forgive you?" She toyed with her handkerchief. "I thought Maisie would tell you. The child was always so fond of you." So she knew. "Maisie has told me," I said gravely. "Lucy, it is right to be frank. I have discovered that my little playfellow, child as she is, has the best love that I can ever give to any one." She look- ed atine in surprise. Then she laugh- ed scornfully. "I see," she said. "You want an ex - knew and other things that were only for her and me. They were the things, that won her back to life, she says, when we talk of such matters. We do not talk of them very often, for Maisie is young and shy and still 06 at school. But her people understand and leave us alone together, and now and then our thoughts peep out. I re- member that they did so upon the night of Lucy's wedding, for she mar- ried the "better match," after all. Maisie came to see me out, of course, ail helped me into my coat and tried la$ghingly to shake me, and I put my arm around her and kissed her several times, instead of the usual once, and not quite in the usual brotherly way. "There will be another wedding one day," I said. "Won't there, little sweet- heart?" She buried her head on my shoutQrsr and whispered "I hope so." Meanwhile people speak of me as a confirmed bachelor, and laugh when I tell them that I am waiting for "Miss Right" to grow. But "Mss Right" is 10 now, and done growing, and wears her hair up and her dresses long and our good nights are steadily growing lengthier and less fraternal. Dear little Maisie!—Chicago Herald. taking my poor little sister's name in vain." "It is no excuse,"'I said firmly. We looked at one another r a minute in silence. "Then," she said "I did not hurt you. I am glad." She stamped her foot passionately. "No, no, I am not. I am sorry—sorry, do you hear?" I ,shrugged my shoulders. "There is no more to say?" I sug- gested. y� "No more to say," she echoed fkintly. I walked \ to the door. "Fred!" she cried abruptly. "I must say 1t. Listen to me if you will not forgive." "Forgive!" I asked.

"My letter>i" I cried. "My letter!" "The letter you sent to Maisie?" "She gave it to you?" "Of course she gave it to me," said Lucy, opening her eyes wide. "Why not?" I ought to have known. , My brave little girl! "Maisie told me that she never gave you the letter, Lucy; that all the blame was hers." I walked to the window and looked out for a time in silence, broken by Lucy's sobs. "She told you—that—just to—screen me," she said brokenly, "Yes." I could not -say more for the moment. Presently I/ walked back to the fire. "God bless4ier!" I said softly, "Let us say no more about it, Lucy, and be friends for her sake." Lucy wiped her eyes and looked into the fire. Then she spoke with her eyes, averted from me. "When we quarreled, it was only what I had for some time intended." "Your reason?" I asked mechanical- ly. I did not really care. "Some one `Ise was a better match. I—I did not like him so well." I ktow, ed. It was immaterial. "I knew that - my people would disapprove "if my breaking our engagement for this rea- son.

The little girl can and does tell the most marvelous tales, and when she is repgved she is entirely complacent and cannot see that her effective inven- tions are anything more than jokes.

"She is very sick," answered the lit- tle girl earnestly. "Nelly (her sister) and I were up with her all night. We called the doctor.". But when the kind neighbor went in haste to see her sick friend she found her in every respect as well as ever.

Louis XVI ' Models Revlyed—Elabo. rate Mnstins—Velvet Ribbon Is Fa. vorite Trimming on Cotton Gowns, New Jacket With Bawlue Back. Those who have built up any hopes of simpler fashions from the rumors of coming simplicity are doomed to disappointment for a time at least, ac- cording to the New York Sun, from which the following items of current syles are reproduced: The embroideries, stitchings, tuckings and shirrings of last season were humble examples of surface decoration when compared BOLERO WITH LONG COAT BACK. with the elaborate specimens of handi- work we have now. Even the tailor made gowns are affected by this dis- position to decorate, and the altogether plain and simple costume of some years ago is the exception rather than the rule among the tailor gowns. Some of the newest gowns built after ethe models of the dlt•ectolre period have bodices different from the skirts. At least the materials used are pat- terned after that time in stripes and flowers and made 'into Louis XVI basques or the quaint boleros with long coattail ends at the back, which are either gathered on at the waist line or cut in one with the bolero, be- ginning well •up above the line of the waist, like the one shown in the illus- tration. Striped and flowered taffetas and brocaded silks of the watteau va- riety are used for these little coats, and they are wort with any sort of elegant, diaphanous skirt made of lace, embroidered batiste or finest muslin inset with insertions of lace usually white. ecru or cream In tint. Another point in summer dress, which seems to.have been clinched at the races, is the extreme popularity of muslin gowns, the muslins either hand painted or hand printed, the sim- ple fabric serving only as an excuse for boundless extravagance. The use of taffeta silk, satin and black velvet ribbon as accessories in trimming linen and cotton gowns is more effectively brought out this sea- son than ever before. Revers collars, belts, sashes and rosettes are made of silk, satin or velvet, usually in black, and pretty effects are made by using the narrow velvet in lattice design.

Mr. Frank W. Graves during his newspaper career witnessed many sin- gular scenes, but the oddest one hap- pened, according to Mr. Graves, in the old days when the big college football teams played their star game- on the New York polo grounds on Thanksgiv- ing day. On the occasion mentioned Yale and Princeton had played and Yale had won. Going up Broadway there walked a dapper young Princeton man and a girl. Going down Broadway at the same moment were eight victorious young Yale men. They were happy, but silent, and they came straight down the street until they spied the Princeton pair. Then still in silence, moved by a sin- gle purpose, the Yale men formed a circle, and as the other pedestrians made way for them they went around and around the Princeton pair. At first the young man was surprised, then an- gered. and at last he raised his cane and made a dash for liberty, whereup- on the Yale men stopped and, without a word, fell upon him as they do in football, quietly, heavily and quickly. Then, straightening themselves again into a line, the eight Yalesians stopped a moment and in concert raised their. hats to the thoroughly frightened girl and silently resumed their march down the street.—Saturday Evening Post. Not Too Dead. "I am not prepared to state that the dead can come to life," said a Pennsyl- vania man, "but the experience of a friend of mine in a Pennsylvania Ger- man town would seem to incline one that way. "In the town where he was visiting he became acquainted with the Local undertaker and In that way was ena- bled to be present at the funeral of a young woman who had expired from shock at seeing her husband fall from a load of hay. He was not hurt at all, but she was, to all intents and pur- poses, as dead as the proverbial door nail. The body was laid out In the par-, tor, and all the relatives and friends bad assembled to pay their last re- spects to the dead. "As is customary in that locality, a big funeral dinner was served. In the midst of the meal the parlor door open- ed and in walked the corpse. It didn't take a minute to clear the room, leav- ing the Intruder from the spirit world in sole possession.

In The Century William Mason, the veteran American musician, tells of a remarkable feat of memory performed by the composer Liszt: My friend knew Liszt very well, and having taken a fancy to a composition of mine, "Les Perles de Rowe," which was stili in manuscript, he said: "Let me hive it t.,publication. Dedicate it to Liszt. I can easily get Liszt to accept the dedication. I am going di- rectly from here to Weimar and will see him about it. At the same Ume.I will prepare the way for your recep- tion later as a pupil." Not long afterward I received a.let- ter from my friend In which he told me that when he handed the music to Liszt the latter looked at the manu- script, hummed it over, then sat down and played it from memory. Then. go- ing to his desk, he took a pen and ac- cepted the dedication by writing his name at the top of the title page. Faslalt n's Eoboea. Plaid ribbon corselet belts are worn with white gowns.

Remedies For Sunburn. Freekles, Ete.—simple Country Lottoas, Sunburn, tan and freckles are all re- movable by simmering a little pure castile or palm oil soap in a. cup of new milk until it is as thick as rich cream, but not too hard when cold. When cool, stir in a teaspoonful of lemon juice to the cupful, and keep for'rub- bing softly on the face after washing 1t with warm water and soap. It is an absurd notionthat soap should never be applied' to the face and an uncleanly one. No portion of the per- son needs a more thorough cleansing, unless it be the hands. 'I'he dust, al- ways floating in the air, mingling with the secretions1of the akin, gives that muddy complexion and those black- - heads that are increased by a too rich diet and a bilious cfndition that, in summer. can easily be avoided. A physician says that sunburn and tan are rt/movable by spreading over the face upon retiring that benzoated zinc ointment that 1s prepared at the druggist's and washing it off with soap and water in the morning. Another, which also removes blackheads, is made by mixing two ounces of glyc- erin with one-half ounce tincture of benzoin, one-half ounce of borax and the juice of three lemons. ' It should not be forgotten that for the skin a moderate use of borax, lemon juice and pure olive oil soap is most excel- lent. For compounding them there are various recipes. Oatmeal, too, is ex- cellent, being both cleansing and sooth- ing, and almond flour paste is unex- celled. That relaxed skin and greasy look in summer needs attention. Excessive perspiration= duripg the heated term can In a measure be over- come by applying to the skin, with a soft cloth, a mixture of cologne or Florida water, to which has been add- ed half the amount of tannic acid. When the moisture is dried, powder freely with baby or starch powder. Another recipe and one good to re- move sunburn is to mix one-half ounce of benzoin with twice as much alcohol, one ounce of glycerin and two ounces of pure, soft water. Still an- other excellent mixture is to make magnesia and soft water Into a thick cream. Spread over the face and hands and in five minutes wash off with some mild soap and dry thor- oughly. Cucumber juice, chlekwe extract and tansy are all good fon removing blemishes and inducing fre hness of the skin. Express the juice cucum- bers, well grown. and app! freely. Chickweed pressed through a sieve can be diluted with soft w r.

Mr. Gresham believes his boat, which is to be built at Newport Next's, will be ready for her trial spin in about six months. The boat will probably be the stran- gest looking craft that has ever sailed the seas. It will look more like a sea serpent than anything else, with a body like an elongated Rugby football and a prow like the ends of an ancient -galley. Around the body will be the big spiral flange which Is to give to it its forward motion as the outer shell ot'•the ship revolves rapidly. The boat will consist of two sections, one within the other. The inner shell will be shaped like a cigar, round in the middle and tapering to a) int at each end. A round tube jjv�ilt extend from it fore and aft, funding upward and outward like a swan's neck. It will terminate in an open mouth, which will be the ventilator of the ship. Around the neck will be a gallery. This will be the deck of the ship, the only open place in the whole vessel. The after gallery Will be used for tbs. wheelhouse and the forward bai'cony for the bridge. This inner hull will be swung like a hammock in the outer shell, which completely envelops it, letting only the bow and stern protrude. It rests on ball hearings, which reduces the friction to almost nothing. All the machinery is stowed in the bottom of the inner hull so as to bal- ance it and keep it stationary. Pene- trating the lower section of the hull is a revolving shaft, which is geared to the outer hull. By revolving this shaft the outer shell is spun around the inner hull Around the outer hull is wound the great steel flange, which is the main principle of the device. "This is the great Archimedean screw," says Mr. Sawyer. "Archimedes said that if he had room for a fulcrum he could lift the earth. Well, in this case we make the water our fulcrum. The hull of the boat, operated from within, revolves, and the flange drives the vessel forwent. I should say that the speed of sucll, a boat is limited only by the strengt\ of the material used in its constructfon. "The first boat to be built will be 50 feet long, 11 feet in diameter in the middle, will weigh about 11% tons, and have a displacement of less than four tons. It will be built of fine steel, and the flange will be 11 inches wide at its widest part. "Three revolutions would drive the boat its own length. We would prob• ably run her at 100 revolutions a minute, although I believe we could make 400 turns. But at 100 she would be making a speed of 60 miles ab hour, and would cross the Atlantic in less than three days." Photography Impossible In Extreme Cold. Experiments conducted by A. and 8. Lumiere (in Comptus Rendus) show that the ordinary photographic plates are unaffected by light at the tem perature of 275 degrees below zere Fahrenheit, the temperature of liquid air. Negatives • may with great dlf - culty be produced by using the most sensitive gelatino-bromide plates with an exposure 400 times longer than that required at ordinary temperatures. A further interesting conclusion was that phosphorescent substances when im- mersed to liquid air lose their phos pborescence, but not permanently, as restoration to the ordinary tempera- ture will cause the phenomenon to reappear.

FASHIONABLE STATIONERY. The Kid Finished Visiting Card Is the Smart Thing -New Note Paper, For the ultra fashionable set there is but one color for the social paste- board more in demand in summer even than in winter. The card is gray white, medium thickness and, to be quite up to date, engraved in block letter style.

The latter is very expensive, which helps to make It choice and exclusive, an important point with certain people.

One of Its Elements Kills Cats and Rabbits. Dr. J. FI. Kellogg declares that tea is an active polsgn-that its active princi- ple, a substance called thein, which can be distilled from tea In a dry re- tort, is fatal to life. The thein in tea is about 6 per cent of the total bulk. Experiments have proved that one-eighth of a grain of it will kill a frog, 5 grains will kill a rab- bit, and 7% grains will kill a cat. In a pound of tea there is an ounce of poi- son, enough to kill 50 cats. Ten grains of thein will make -a man ill, and a half ounce of tea contains from 10 to 10 grains. Professor Lehmann, a German physi- cian, gave several men h'om eight to ten grains of thein each by way of ex- periment. None of them was able to work for two d There are tea drunkards. There have been cases of delirium tremens from tea drinking. By chewing tea leaves people can become thoroughly intoxi- cated. The woman who is tired takes a cup bf tea and is relieved of her weariness. But the sensation of weariness is a danger signal. Under the influence of a stimulant she does not know when she goes beyond the limits of safe ex- ertion. Tea Is a drug, not a food. Not only does tea contain no nourish- ment, but it interferes with digestion. The craving for it is not natural, as is the desire for food. Taste must be- come vitiated by its habitual use be- fore it becomes an apparent necessity. Children drink it for the cream and sugar, older people for the effect. Every one knows that tea contains tannin. Add a little iron to tea, and it becomes black. Tea made in an iron kettle 1s as black as ink. Even stir- ring a strong cup of tea with an iron spoon will make it turn black. The combination of the tannin of the tea with iron makes ink. Leather is made by soaking hides in a decoction of bark which contains tannin. A man who eats a beefsteak and drinks a cup of tea starts a leather manufactory in his own stomach, for the tea, combining with the connective tissue of the steak, soon transforms it into strong leather. Household Brevities. A few jars of huckleberries come In very handily In the winter for pies and puddings. Wet your jelly bag with water before using. This prevents waste of fruit juice and makes It strain better. Some cooks add a small pinch of carbonate of ammonia to the water when boiling vegetables to prevent odors and preserve color. A tablespoonful of glycerin to every pound of fruit used in making jam will often do away altogether with the ear- ly crystallization which is the bane of the thrifty housewife. Fruits which require paring should be immediately dropped into cold wa- ter to prevent discoloration.

Fourteen small fiber feathers recent- ly received at the Notional museum In Washington forth one of the most in- teresting and valuable collections in that storehouse of wonders. oddities and priceless ernes of bygone days, says the Was .ington Star. The bits of bird clothing came from faroff New Zealand and, according to best au- thority, were once among the plumage of a prehistoric biped, the moa, or Dinornis maximus, a fowl supposed to have resembled the ostrich in many ways. The moa was in existence when man inhabited the earth, but it became extinct long before history's record was begun. It is the general belief that the moa has ,been found in some quantity and that his reign upon earth was brief, once oris fact was discovered by the rapidly increas- ing race of men. The feathers are the first of the moa bird to be brought to this country, it is believed, and there are very few of them in existence, so far as is known. The discovery of feathers is recent. The bones of the rima have been found in some quantity In New Zealand, and a number of museums and institutions of natural history are equipped with complete skeletons of the giant bird. These bone frames evidence a bird ranging in height from 10 to 12 feet, the latter being the maximum, and weighing probably in the neighborhood of 500 pounds. The moa, or dinornis, was a very clumsy bird, according to the descrip- tion made up by naturalists, and close- ly resembled the ostrich in shape of body, legs, neck and head. The moa has no such plumage as the ostrich, however, its feathers being generally short, with a tendency to curl. The great birds could not fly and were easily exterminated by the savages, probably through the use of the spear. Their clumsy proportions made them slow of foot, and, altogether, the moa was an exceptionally defenseless vic- tim to the pot hunters of ancient days. Oar Debt to the Barn Fowl. It is quite possible, though of course not demonstrable, that the humble barn fowl has been a larger benefactor of our race than any mechanical in- vention in our possession, for there is no inhabited country .eu earth today where the barn fowl is not a mainstay of health. There are vast regions of South America and Europe where it Is the mainstay, and nowhere Is there known anything that can take its place, which is probably more than can be said of anything in the world of inecbanics,-Century. -r Bacteria Mostly Beneficial. A magazine devoted to scientific top- ics remarks that the bacterium has something else to do in the economy of nature than in originating maladies. It Is true that they are operating in innumerable directions, but the num- ber that are associated with disease are very few, and even these few, if t, animal be healthy, are digested by the gastric juice as easily as would be an oyster. The majority indeed Pre essential to our health and happi• nese. The ports of New South Wales are the freest on the globe, and in none of the Australian colonies are there any discriminating or differential duties. Electricity and Crops. Some Russian scientists have been trying interesting experiettents in elec- tro culture. One of them ascertained that electrified seeds germinated more rapidly and gave better and quicker results than seeds which had not been submitted to preliminary electrifica- tion. He also repeated the experiments of Ross -that is, burying in the soil one copper and one zinc plate placed ver- tically and connected by a wire. He found that potatoes and roots grown in the electr,ided space gave crops three, times heavier than those which were grown close by on a test plot. The car- rots attained an unusual size of from 10 to 12 inches in diameter, says The Scientific American. The other Rus- sian scientist tried a series of experi- ments that were more original. On his experimental plot he planted wood- en posts about ten yards apart, which were provided at their tops with me- ' tallic aigrets connected by wires, so that the plants were cultivated under a sort of network of wire. By this he obtained some remarkable results, and ripening barley was tfccel-' erated by 12 days. A series of Tabora - tory experiments upon boxes of soil ' was also made. The temperature of the soil was raised by these currents. Its moisture decreased at first, but be- gan to increase after a course of three weeks, and at last the amount of vege- table matter in the soil was increased. by the electric currents. Further re- searches seem promising. Coral Reefs. In a lecture on "Coral Reefs" Pro- fessor Watts of Mason University col- lege said that Darwin's theory was that the reefs bad grown round islands which had subsided, while Murray's theory supposed the ocean bed to re- main stationary, while the reef grew outward like fairy rings on their own debris. The Royal society, with the co-operation of the, admiralty and the government of New South Wales, has adop%d Darwin's suggestion that a millionaire might enable the problem to be solved by arranging for a boring through a coral island. A boring to a depth of about 1,100 feet had been car- ried out on the island of Funafuti, in the south Pacific, while the admiralty had surveyed the island and sounded the ocean round its shores. The result had been to give a clearer picture than had ever been obtained before, but suf- ficient details had not yet been made known to justify an absolute conclu- sion. Pleasant Treatment of Disease. In a pamphlet on the superstitions and medical practices of the Bernese peasantry Dr. Zahler, himself a native of the Bernese Oberland, states that the belief in witchcraft is slowly yield- ing to education. The medical litera- ture consists of ancient manuscript family prescription books and printed volumes distributed, by peddlers. The older the prescription the greater the credit. The peasant nowadays, while carefully concealing his ancestral be- liefs, is yet, when disease affects him. inclined to revert to the old charms and remedies. Dr. Zahler attributes such efficacy as they possess to what is now called "suggestion," but admits the part played by the use of herbs in all primitive medicine.

The city laboratory of Paris, which Is devoted exclusively to the testing oft food supplies, has recently discov- ered an alarming series of falsifica- tions. It appears that Paris, Tong fatuous for its preserves and confections,, pro- duces scarcely any that are not sophis- t ticated. Of 40 packages examined. 35 were found to be adulterated. The chemistry of adulteration is run- ning a race with that of the testing laboratory, which resembles the never ending contest between the guns and the armor of battleships. It is almost impossible to find any genuine preserved fruits, especially stone fruits. Plums, cherries and apri- cots are made of beets and turnips ap- propriately flavored. The wine is no better. Of 000 sam- ples, 199 were pronounced unfit for use and 280 doubtful. Only 129 samples were pure. No poisonous adulterations were found, but spoiled wines are "freshen- ed," and wine is watered ad libitum, for the wine cellars are by law exempt from official inspection after 7 p. m. The French beer, "la bibine," is wa- tered to the drowning point. Seeing the Invisible. By means of the spectroscope the eye of the scientist is now enabled to detect the presence in an electric spark of a particle of the metal cal- cium weighing only one threeiiundred- billionth of an ounce. If ten such particles were consumed each second of time, a piece of calcium the size of a mustard seed would furnish the characteristically colored calcium light of this sort for 15 centuries. This is the instrument with which the com- position of the stars is being studied. Each metal has a characteristic col- ored flame, and by examining the light from a star with the spectroscope the light is analyzed and the various colors are separfted, and the metals present can easily be noted. The trembling rays of light from distances so inconceiv- able are thus made to ,bear their mes- sage telling of their chemical composi- tions, and we have learned to read the messages they bring us with as great certainty as though we had a piece of the star in our laboratories. Puncture Proof Tire. A German scientist has patented a puncture proof tire filling. if success- ful, it will prove a boon to bicycle riders, as well as to the owners of rub- ber tired vehicles of all kinds and air saddles and cushions. The filling is a jelly made of glue. Glycerin is added to prevent hardening and an antiseptic preparation that keeps it from fer- menting The mixture is first heated until it liquefies and is then beaten to a stiff foam. While 1n this frothy con- dition it is introduced into the tire or saddle and allowed to cool and partly solidify. The result is a light. spongy material of cellular formation, exceed- ingly light in weight and proof against tacks, nails, glass and all puncturing objects. -Popular Science. Quite Natural.

Wherever ice cream is made American freezers are preferred. says the New York Sun, because, like so many other American productions, they are es- pecially well adapted to their use. There are. of course, various kinds of these modern freezers, and they are made in a great number of sizes, having a capacity from one pint up to 40 quarts, The pint freezer, with its tall cedar bucket bound with brass hoops and with the metal attachments of the freezer itself nickel plated, looks like a jellymort of toy, and it is ip tact ` sold as such, but it is nevertheless a practical freezer, in which cream to its capacity can be frozen just as in -any other. Freezers up to a capacity of eight quarts are known as family sizes. Ten quart and on up to the 40 quart freez- ers would be used by boarding houses and hotels and by ice cream manufac- turers. To the crank shaft of many of the medium and larger freezers there is attached a balance wheel to make the work of operating the freezer easier. Even the largest- freez- ers are in some cases operated by hand, the work of turning the crank being facilitated by a heavy balance wheel, while in other cases the freez- ers are operated by power. In all the smaller and medium sizes the modern improved contrivance has practically supplanted the old style freezer, commoney known•as the tub and can. In large freezers, however, including those of the largest size, up to 40 quarts capacityt, there are still sold tub and can freezers in considera- 1;)e numbers, for freezing purposes, for making ice create and hokey pokey. The buyers of • the old fashioned big tub and can freezers nowadays are chiefly Italians, who prefer.them be- cause the are cheaper. But while the modern freezer -has now so largely • superseded the old fashioned kind for freezing purposes, yet a dealer said that there were still 'sold many* old fashioned tub and can freezers of all (hese various sizes, these being largely used now for shipping purposes for the .' delivery of ice cream to local custom- er's and to purchasers at more or less distant points. Ice cream is distinctly an article of local manufacture. and wherever there is a town off` few hundred or thou- sand inhibitants there are likely to be found confectioners or others making ice cream.. Nevertheless New York ice cream manufacturers, making ice cream in great variety' and at all seasons and prepared to supply any demand anywhere at any time, send ice cream at (..:• time and another to many pointe within a radius of 60 miles and to even greater distances. Mii.iy- tub and can freezers are used for such shipments as well as for other deliveries. • Drying the Hair. To supply the need of a simple and cor _out appliance for drying the hair a Chicago', woman has designed the device shown in the cut. It is in- tended to provide a means for holding the hair in distended position, away DEVICE FOR DRYING DAM from the neck, and in such a manner as to protect the clothing from the dampness after washing. After a lady has washed her hair the band is passed under the hair at the back of the neck and the ends brought toward each other at the temples, to be connected across the forehead by tapes and a buckle. The branches of the brace rest upon the back of the neck and the tapes are connected under the -Chin. This brace bar holds the rear portion of the band in an elevated position, so that the hair will be held free from the body and clothing. As the body portion of the band is of coarse net- ting a free circulation of air is per- mitted, which rapidly dries the hair. Why He Ate Salad.

The return gatne between Lennon dg Gibbons'. team, of St. Paul, and the Hastings nine, at the fair grounds last Sunday afternoon, attracted an immense crowd of our citizens,besides large delegations from the twin cities, River Falls, Ellsworth, Prescott, and Red Wing. It was the second game of a series and was won by our boys by a score of nine to one, and prov- ing undoubtedly the hardest and best game of the season. The Hastings team has every reason to rejoice in triumphing over the St Paul aggre- gation. It' would have been a com- plete shut -out for St. Paul but for Billy Williams, the colored first base- man, who made a home run in the eighth inning by a long fly to sIght field and a wild throw to home plate. The fielding -and battery work, of the Hastings team was fi.iy. T. P. Mc Namara, center field in the home team., playefl a star game, making no errors and having four putouts, two of thein in the sixth inning. Pitcher George Carisch did phenotnenal work, and struck out twelve men to Mur- nane's two. Fred Carisch, catcher, made a three base hit in the eighth inning. The number of hits by Hast- ings was eleven to At. Paul's seven. Eight men were left on bases by St. Paul and six by Hastings. George Carisch gave two bases on balls and one hit by ball while Murnane reg- istered four bases on halls.

At a congress held in Paris in 1837 It was decided that the end of the nineteenth century should see the mak- ing of a great catalogue of all the stars In the sky upon a scale of completeness and precision surpassing anything previously attempted, says The Inter- national Montl4y. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of such a work, for uponipur star catalogues de- pends ultimately, 'the entire structure of astronomicaiscience. The work was far too vas t for the powers of an observatory alone. There- fore the whole sky.. from pole to pole, was divided intotefght belts or zones of approximate1y4equa1 area, and each of these was assigned to a single ob- servatory to be photographed. A series of telescopes 'was specially con- structed, so that every part of the work should be done with the same type of instrument. As far as possi- ble, an attempt was made to secure unifotmity of methods -and particular- ly a uniform scale of precision. To cover the entire sky upon the plan pro- posed no less -than 44,108'negatives are required, and most of these have now been finished. The further measure- ment of the pictures and the drawing tip of a vast printed star catalogue are also well under way. One of the par- ticipating observatories, that at Pots- dam, Germany, has just published the first volume of its part of the ,sata- logue. It is estimated that thiii• ob- servatory alone will require 20 quarto volumes to contain merely the final results of its work on the catalogue. Altogether not fewer than 2,000,000 stars will find place in this our latest directory of the heavens. Rnesian Dislike of Tunnels. ' There are naturally a number of sweeping eurves through the Urals, but all tunneling has been avoided, says Cassiees Magazine. The writer did not see a single tunnel in the Ural range. It is a remarkable fact that during the Transsiberian railway in- spection the writer did not observe a tunnel anywhere, and even after con- tinuing the inspection right into the heart of Russia, about 2,000 miles 1,132ore of line had been covered before e saw the first tunnel. This was near Tyfa, not far from the illustrious Tol- store home, and It was while respond- ing te a prearranged invitation from • le grande Russe that the writer came across this, the first tunnel noted, after 6,000 miles of overland railway in- spection. A Russian railway engineer would sooner blow up a small mountain than make a tunnel, leaving a yawning chasm between the rocks, with two "streaks of rust" at the bottom there- of as a souvenir of his activity; or, If he finds that after going to the mountain the mountain is not likely to yield to him, his instructions are to circumvent It by a long detour. Any- thing to avoid tunneling! The primary aversion to tunnels in Russia is not alone their first cost, but their sub- sequent cost; for tunnels, like houses, always have "something the matter with them." There's Nothing New. Almost all of man's inventions have been foreshadowed by nature. The hypodermic syringe with which the physician injects morphine into a pa- tient's arm has its counterpart in the sting of a bee. The tunnel borer is an adaptation of the work of the teredo, or shipworm. The principle of the balloon is found in certain fishes. The paper making industry is paralleled In the building of a wasp's nest. In the mechanism of a man's body there are joints and levers similar to those used in engines. The automatic oiling of surfaces which rub together in an engine is on the same plan as the lubri- cation of joints in our bodies. Man's nervous system resembles the tele; graph in its mode of working. The ball bearings of a bicycle or automobile are not so very dissimilar to the ball joints of human hipa and shoulders. The principle of the lever was fore- shadowed in the long bones of the human body. Disease Germs In Skirts. That long skirts are a serious men- ace to public health has apparentlz been proved by Dr. Casagrandi, a dis- tinguished scientist of Rome. At a congress which was held in the Eternal City the other day he told his fellow colleagues that he had made some simple experiments which had con- vinced him that the fashion of wearing trailing skirts ought at once to be abandoned. He had, be said, employed a number of women wearing long skirts to walk for one hour through the streets of the tit,, and after their promenade was over he had tatenInthelr skirts and had submitted to a careful ex- amination. As a result he had found on each skirt large colonies of noxious germs, including those of influenia, consumption, typhoid fever and teta- nus. The bacilli of minor diseases were also well represented on each skirt,. IliNeets of Cannonades on the Ems. In an article in the Teitschritt fur Ohrenheilkunde on the effect of Call. nonades upon the ear Dr. Muller says in 96 drums of ears examined before and after a bombardment he found not- able changes in 44. In 37 other cases there was only a redness at the mar- gin of the dram. In 7 cases there was, bleeding, In 40 cases the Searing of a tuning fork was dulled and in 26 the hearing of speech. °dicers who in- struct III shooting often become dull of hearing and troubled with noises. The graver defects are only found in per- sons whose ears were not in a normal state before the firing began. The practical conclusion is that only men with perfectly normal ears should be admitted into the artillOy. Seratehes on Glass. If slight, rub with rouge, wet, on a piece of soft leather.

Among the human sacrifices of the delta of the Niger, says Count de Cardi, young girls occupy the most honored place. They are at regular periods offered up to the gods, and in- stead of shrinking from this horrible doom they accept it with pride and gratitude. Nothing is refused to these girls while they are alive. If one of them sees a handsome dress or orna- ment on a woman and expresses a de- sire to have it, the woman must give it to her. Men are also sacrificed, though not for religious reasons, and they welcome death as eagerly as the girls. Count de Cardi once tried to save one of these victims, bet instead of thank- ing him, the man reviled him so bitter- ly for Interfering and scolded the by- standers so heartily for delaying to carry out the sentence that they promptly stopped his mouth by killing him. The worst insult which one Woman can offer to another is to hold out the right hand in front of her with -the in- dex and middle finger forming the let- ter V. This means, "You will become the mother of twins." When twins are born in this region, they and their mothers are killed, as a rule, and when a mother dies in giving birth to a child the latter is also killed and buried with her. It is not superstition which im- pels the negroes to dispose of mother- less infants in this heartless fashion, but the great difficulty of rearing them. Altogether, the information which Count de Cardi has gathered during his residence of many years in this portion of Africa is of rare value, espe- cially to anthropologists. He Remembered Them. "By the way," said the man who had stopped at a farmhouse to water his horse, "15 years ago a poor boy 'came this way, and you took him in." "Yes?" queried the farmer, somewhat surprised. "You were kind to him," went on the stranger; "you fed him, gave him words of encouragement and an old suit of clothes, put a dollar in his pock- et and sent him on his Way rejoicing. He told you at the time that he never would forget your kindness. Am night?' "I reckon you are," replied the farm- er. "He said that if he prospered he would see that you never had occasion to regret your kindness to a poor,strug- gling lad." "Land's sakes!" exclaimed the farm- er's wife excitedly. "It sounds almost like a fairy tale, don't it? Why, you must hate seen him." "I have," said the stranger, "and he sent a message to you." "What is it?" they both asked ex- pectantly. "He told me to tell you that he is still poor." As the stranger drove away the farmer went out and kicked the pump viciously, while his wife threw a roll- ing pin at the chickens. -New York World.

State Journal. • Wonderland 1900. The aenual publication of the North- ern Paciflc Railway fois1900 should be in the hands of every school teacher and eveey one interested in his country's 'history. It contains a large amount of historic information about the northwest, brought down to the present and easily understood. The principal chapter relates to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and its partial exploration in 1804-6 by Lewis and Clark. This was the greatest exploration ever attempted by the United States, and the story of the expedition's adventures on rivers, among Indians, and •in the moun- tains outflctions fiction. The Story of a Railway is a recital of the difficulties attending the building of the Northern Paciflc across mountains and plains and Its ultimate success, and is in itself an epitomized history of the northwest. The Geysers of Yellowstone Park are not, as some think, losing their power. In 1809 the greatest geyser, with one ex- ception, ever known in the park burst ' z forth, and one of its eruptions is described in this book. The antics and. habits of the park bears, so interesting to tourists, are also detai Andther chapter describes two delight- ful mountain resorts in Montana and Northern California, The value of this publication as a supplementary text book will be seen at a glance by any teacher or parent. The book is for popular and general use and will be sent to any one sending six cents, by Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn. • -- Rates ot Alavertistng. One inch, per year 810.01.

Miss Matilda Otilia Kreig, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kreig, living on Tyler Street, died last Sunday evening, after a pro- tracted illness. She was born in Glencoe Nov., 9th, 1882, and came to Hastings with her parents when only six months old. She was of a chris- tian and lovable character, and a member of the junior class of our high school. Her death is deeply regretted by her schoolmates and a large circle of friends. The funeral was held from St. Luke's Church on Wednesda.y., itt tv p. m., We Rev. P. H. Ligley officiating Mrs. Helen Furber died at the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Bis- coCottage Grove, last Thursday n ght after a protracted illness, aged seventy-sev > years. She was the widow of the late Theodore Furber, a pioneer resident of Washington County, and held in high esteem by a large circle of friends. The funeral will be held from the Congregational Church in that town to -morrow, at two p. m. The State of Washington is known as the evergreen state because of its vast forests. Outside of the lim- ited areas of big trees in California, there are no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., as are found here. The trees are long and straight, and the massive timbers and fine shingles made from them are shipped all over the world. Washington fruit is a product of great value. Its flavor and color are unsur- passed. East of the Cascade Mountains the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer in- dependent of rain. West of the moun- tains irrigation is unnecessary and thy' rainfall is ample for all purposes. C neries and fruit drying establishme is can be operated profitably in this state. Grain, hops, and alfalfa are very profit- able crops, and beet sugar is rapidly snaking headway. Washington is a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all professions, and labor is wanted and is paid remuner- ative prices. Fuel, coal as well as wood, is abundant and cheap. Schools and churches abound, the state is well sup- plied with railways. Varied altitudes and climates render this country a desirable place of residence and all can be suited.

Such things had been known., 1 It Must have been this faint hope that buoyed up the wife to appear that aft- ernoon. A wife should be able to Iden tify the face, figure and speech of the husband of even a fortnight, but the elopers hoped for a miracle. Major Davis had made several acquaintances, and Mrs. Bemis bad no goner appea ed than he was ready to be introduce ",I ant honored," he said as he ma( his bow. - "Permit me to offer my si sere congratulations on your speed recovery." "I—I thank you." . "It was your husband I met thi morning, I beileve, and for a women he took me for some one else. It I queer how you'll often find two.peopl looking so. much alike as to deceiv you at first glance." "Y -yes, it is!" she stammered lean ing•on the back of a chair for suppor and speaking through bloodless lips. "You do not find in me a resemblanc to any gentleman called the judge?" h queried as he looked her full in th face. - "N-no—that is"— "But I am- keeping you. Pray, • be seated, and I think I see your husband coming this way. Hope the fine weath- er will put rou in good spirits." At every meal Major Davis faced the guilty pair. SOME of the passengers suspected nothing, but others insisted that there was a queer mystery afoot. The major gitve nothing away. It wouldu't have been good form. The woman avoided him as far as possible, but two or three times a day he found excuse to speak to her. If she had hoped for a miracle, her hopes were dashed at the first close sight of him. Major Davis was Judge Dale, . and Judge Dale was the husband she had fled from and disgraced. She knew Win for a quiet man, but also for an i placable one. He was torturing th ni at the stake, but that would not be- evenge enough. In his desperation Be )ls again attempted to approach the ligan he had wronged. IIe couldn't plead. for himself, but be would plead for the- woman. "Judge; it was my fault, and on me should fall your vengeance," he said as he cornered his man. "Mistaken again. Ha, ha, ha!" laugh- ed the major. "Really, but - I shall come to think that I am your judge'§ twin brother. See what a cloudless sky and how beautiful the sea. I trust that your wife has had 110 more trou- ble with her heart. She is not looking at an well." "God! God! But wisat a man!" gasp- ed Bemis as be turned away with a hunted look in his eyes.` The steamer was to call at tbe- Azores. One morning about 10 o'clock she made harbor, and it„was given out aboard that she would not get away before midnight..Everybody it -as anx- ious for a brief run ashore—everybody but Mrs. Bemis, She feared that she might overexert Bemis.—)She bring on another attack of heart trouble. Mr. Bemis had decided to stay with her when Ma- jor Davis hunted him out and said: "I trust you will make one of a little party going ashore, and that you will bring -your revolver- alo;g, as I shall InB M1u1 D P1fllsfJ.

As a matte fact, the judge's motto" was "g form, ' and he carried it out in clothes, bis cigars, his dinner' and way he took the news when a fal reck in the Emma mine buried 12 at once. , What he said on that o sion Was, "Please wipe your feet on rug next time." What he did was fill out 12 checks for $1,000 apiece the respective widows. I 1 have it on goon authority Judge pale was not vulgarly start when he received word from Den that his handsome wife, to whom had been married five years and w was visiting friends, had taken an lover's arm and severed conjugal re tions by eloping. Others go the no about the same tinge, and fey could find anything to criticise in his c duct. He went through the daily r tine just the saute for three or fo days, and he bad the same placid to and the same even voice as he call his head clerk into tthe- private otii and said: "Thomas, I am going away for a fe days, and yen will take -charge." "Yes, sir," replied- Thomas, and nomO morning the judge was on his way Denver. He picked up his clew the without having elbowed anybody ' 'soiled the polish of his shoes. H met friends and talked politics a real estate and mines, and, lighting fresh cigar, he took a train for t east. Arriving in New York city, 1 paid a detective to locate the coupl but he didn't lug out a gun and shot at the top of his voice that he was a injured husband thirsting for gore. H simplj' t w a -couple of big goidpiece on t e ble to pay for the informati( and a cs en is fled to the cafe for lunch, steamer was sa ng for the Mediterr neapat the en of the fourth day, -an whdn she departed the judge was on of her passengers. There were mor than a hundred others,- and as th weather was also stormy for the -firs two or three days out no one comment ed on the fact that the passenger wb was registered as Major Davis stue close to his cabin and had his meal '.brought. to him by a steward. Jud Dale had changed his name, but he had no idea of changing his identity. There were laughter and conversation and a clatter of dishes as all the passengers finally gathered for dinner for the first time since leaving Sandy Hook. To :be right of the captain sat one of the handsomest ladies and one of the finest looking eII1lem gentlemen on the list, but tak- en altogether it was a grand array of wealth and culture. Dinner was fairly under way, and the lady on the cap- tain's right was beaming, when she happened to cast her eyes down the table, and her face went as white as death in a -second. Half a dozen peo- ple caught her words as she whispered to her supposed husband: "My God, John, but - there is the judge!" . , The malt looked, end the color wept out 'of his cheeks,- and his jaw fell. Near the foot of the table sat the man who had taken a new name. He was cool and pkicid, and only the ghost of a smile hovered around his mouth. He looked the woman and the man full in the eyes for a minute; but made no sign of recognition. "What is it?" asked the captain as "Mrs. Bemis" shuddere(Y and gasped and seemed 011 the point of fainting. "A—a sudden illness—heart trouble!" she stammered as she left the table for her stateroom, followed by her suppos- ed husband. There were wonder and curiosity, but Iilttle was said. "Good form" demands that such incidents lie passed over as ,easily as possible. There were those - who thought it might be heart trouble and others who suspected the presence of the "major" had something to do with it, but that was no place to com- pare notes. Neither\ of the pair was seen again that evening, though Ma- jor Davis was very much in evidence until a late hour. At breakfast next morning Mr. Bemis - appeared alone. His wife was better, thank you, was his reply to inquirers, but thought it best to remain quiet for a day or two. Not once did he let his eyes roam around the table, but he knew that Major Davis was there among the rest. He knew that a pair of steel blue eyes were [canning his troubled face and that a pair of soft ,white hands were aching to grip his throat. After breakfast, as the men sought the smok- ing room, Mr. Bemis started to act on a plan which had doubtless been talk- ed over with his wife. . He walked straight up to Major Davis and began: tr.'', I don't know what I can say ' 1 w in extenuation, but I"— P "Excuse me, sir," interrupted the I other, "but you have evidently made a d mistake.

The unwritten laws of society are continually changing. For instance, invitations were always sent by hand. Now they are almost always given to the postman. This is an obvious ad- vantage unless the messenger or foot- man is perfectly reliable. Besides, it gives much less trouble and expense. At a dinner small differences are more observable than at large and less "smart" functions, and there are many little things that it behooves an aspi- rant or a debutante to remember, Wo- men should not rise when a man is in- troduced to them, and they should also remain seated when an acquaintance greets them, putting out their hands to be shaken. Of course in the cask of a hostess or fin old or particularly distin- guished person this is different.: A hostess will receive all her guests standing and do all she can to show polite hospitality.—New York Tribune. Toilet Hints, Some skins are curiously absorbent of all gre e, whereas in direct con= treat there are some unfortunate peo- ple who are possessed of skins which are too greasy and require an astrin- gent lotion and drying powders. People whose - skin - is very sensitive are often troubled with great irritabil- ity of the scalp when at the seaside or after sear bathing. This Is caused by the salt air •and salt water, and a little vaseline should be well rubbed into the roots of the hair at night and the hair washed again in pure tepid rain water whenever it bas been dipped into the Sea. A little borax sprinkled on a cloth and rubbed lightly on the face is a good remedy for blackheads. Care should be taken to rub lightly, or it will make the skin smart. In general anything that tends to -dry the skin should be avoided, such as bay rum, alcohol, camphor and ammonia. If used in great moderation, they are all good. Arrests Avalanches. Thickly planted trees are the best protection against avalanches. The snow which has fallen' -'4 i the woods cannot well shift its place, and when the masses of snow from the slopes; above dash against the timber they are unable to break through so strong a barrier, and after overturning some of ' the first trees their progress is arrested.

Split the ke els lengthwise with a knife, then scrape with the back of the knife, thus leaving the hulls upon the cob. Fill cans full of cut corn, press- ing it in very hard. To press the corn in the can, use the small end of the potato masher, as this will enter the tan easily. It will take 10 or 12 large ears of corn to fill a one quart can. When the cans are full, screw the cover on with thumb and first finger. This will be tight enough. Then place a cloth in the bottom df a wash boiler to prevent breakage. On this put a layer of cans in any position you pre- fer, over the cans put a layer of cloth, then more cans. Fill the boiler in this manner, then cover the cans well with cold water, place the boiler on the fire and boll three hours without ceasing. On steady boiling depends much of your success. After boiling three hours lift the bo!lenfrom the fire, let the wa- ter cool, then take the cans from the boiler and tighten, let them .remain until cold and lighten again. ]Wrap each can in brown paper to exclude the light, and keep in a cool, dry cel- lar. Be very sure the rubber rings are not hardened by use. It would be best to use new rings, as poor rings are the cause of much fruit spoiling. The corn in the cans will shrink by cooking, but do not, on any account, open then,—Good Housekeeping. Ways of Wearing Ribbons, Among different attractive ways of wearing ribbons, now in vogue and de- picted by the New York Herald, are two taking effects as follows: One, to be worn with a shirt waist, as well as with more elaborate bodices, is a stock, with two small l loo ps at the throat. The -ends are tied in a four TWO TAKING *kis. loop bow, with pendant ends. A small knot on each end makes this a very pleasing and fluffy effect. The other is a stock, with the ends drawn to the shoulder and pinned, after which a bow is tied, the ends of which are tied individually into small bowknots. A dressy effect, suitable for afternoon; also very charming for carriage wear, when the ends should be left much longer.

When He Bluntly Accused One of Ms Customers of Stealing. There must be an irresistible fascina- tion iu stealieg for some women, for, although day, after day the papers tell of arrests for this crime in the big stores of the cities, still the practice goes on, and in most cases women who are beyond the touch 20? want are the culprits. One dasr,, not long ago toward the cloae ef the afteruoou a clerk in one,1"ifi the largO, dy. re ods emporiums Caual street saw or fancied he saw, a woman at the n t counter slip a bolt of silk under her cloak. She was a persou of middle ant, with a plain but attractive face, and her handsome at- tire and easy bearing indicated a well to do gentlewoman. The clerk beckon- ed to a nearby floorwalker, and in an excited whisper told what he had wit- nessed. "You're crazy." said the floorwalker. "That lady is Mrs. —; she's an old customer and is simply above sus- picion." "I don't care what she is," persisted _ the clerk. "I saw her steal that silk." At that the proprietor happened 'to pass and beard the story. He is a man of much experience and habitual promptitude. "Are you absolutely certain?" he asked. , "I am, sir," replied the clerk. The merehant sighed and walked down the aisle to where the Woman . was standing. "Excuse me, madam," he - said quietly; "will you kindly un- fasten your cloak?" "Sir!" she exclaimed, taking a step backward and turning ghastly pale. "Throw open that cloak!" he said 'sterufy, dropping any preteuse of courtesy, but still speaking in a 'very low tone. The woman's face had assumed a frightened, hypnotic stare, and she obeyed mechanically, her hands trem- bling so violently that shecouldscarce- ly unfasten the, buttons. Under the garment was the telltale bolt of silk and a strange collection of smaller articles -a pair • of stockings, th gloves, some lace, a quantity of .. lug, a white shawl, a roll of jet trim- mings -evidently things snatched up at random as .opportunIty offered. As the plunder was ranged on the counter the woman hung her head and began to sob hysterically. "Now, madam," said the merchant In a matter of fact voice, "I have just ode thing to say to you: You have traded here for over 15 years to the .. best of my recollection, and were one of ,our most t sted customers. '''‘I won't charge th se things to you, as is usually done insuch cases, and the affair shall not be mentioned. But I must ask you never again to come into this store." "Suppose you bad found nothing un- der the cloak," suggested a newspaper man, who chanced to witness the inci- dent from beginning to end; "wouldn't that have put you in a terribly awk- ward position r 4. - "Yes," admitted the merchant frank- ly, "but I was really taking no chances. r knew to an absolute tertainty that the woman was a shoplifter before I addressed her."

By long ir practice store pilferers acquire an ex- traordinary grip with the left upper arm and can hold anything with ease that is slipped against the. body on that side. Their dexterity in that par- ticular Is really astohisliing, and it is almost like the acquisition of a new member, but to anybody who has made a study of such legerdemain the posi- tion in whit% the arrn Is held is urrEds- takable. It is turned slightly outward, Ssith the elbow against the point of the hip, and the forearm is entirely disen- gaged. s , w "The moment I ght a good, square 416 look at this woman I knew she was holding something under her cloak, and then, of course, I had no longer any hesitation about accosting her. It would never do to make a mistake, and we avq1d such a tiling by taking no chances'. If there is the slightest room for doubt, 0,e-5uspect is allowed to walk out wIthout a word. When we detect a shoplifter, our invariable pol- icy is to warn he from the store, the reason being that we wish to escape the necessity of watching people or of making a scene before our customers.

A NOVELTY IN DECORATION. For Those Who Have No Skill With Brush or Needle. Very decorative and artistic work may now be executed by those who can neither paint nor embroider. All the implements they need to be dex- trous with are the scissors and pude pot, according to The Designer, which illustrates and describes an article dec- iirated in this style. For its construc- tion are required cardboard, cattridge paper, paste, ribbon and some pretty, large patterns of floral wall paper, with the possible but ns o t absolutely necessary addi- tion of liquid gold paint. The card holder meas- ures 14 inches long from the topmost flower to the -lower edge. The pock- et is six inches long and propor- tionately wide. A piece of card- board 14 inches long and 4 inch- es wide is cut; else a smaller piece 3% inches wide and 6 inch- ') es long. On these is smoothly pasted cartridge paper, terra cotta or green, per hanger's paste being used. Se- lect some,. pretty design of wall paper in which are dis- played large roses, poppies, pansies or morning glories: For the pictured hold- er pansies are used. Cut out the flow- ers neatly, so that no edge Of the paper background is left; then arrange them on the cartridge covered cardboard in a graceful manner and fasten them on with paste. After they are perfectly firm maka half inch fold of the elic cartridge p er and paste it about the free edges o the holder as a fintsh. Cut out the top of the cardboard where it shows behind the flowers and attach the pocket by ribbon straps, the upper ones being about two and a half inches long and the lower ones a little over an Inch. Bows of ribbon decorate the out- side of the pocket, and a hunger -et ribbon is sewed to the top of the hold- er. If the liquid gold is on hand, it mat be employed to outline the edges or the flowers and leaves. The worker must be sure to keep an even line of gold, for if it is wide in some places and narrow In others the completed ar- ticle will look homemade and far from neat. The paste can be 'obtained at most paint stores ready mixed In cans, but if it is desired to make it at home, the following is a simple and good recipe: Mix two tablespoonfuls of fiour with two of cold water; stir it wail to- gether and add four more tablespoon- fuls of water. Set the mixture over the fire and bring it to a boil, stirring It all the ante. Add half a teaspoonful of powdered alum just before remov- ing it from the tire. This paste must be used the day it is made or It will sour. 4APITIOINT FOR STOCK col -14.a. rings to ea�h other by second p. Join the wheels by picots of the chains, as shown in the illustration.

Never cook green corn in salted Wa- ter, it being one of the vegetables that toughen when boiled with salt. Sosne- times green corn is boiled with the tender inner busks on, And these are removed just before serving. The husks are allowed to remain for the sake of the flavor. Stewed corn may be made from either cold boiled corn or from that which has mit been cook- ed. In the latter case cut the corn. froni the cob and stew it for a quarter of an hour in belling water. Turn most of this . water Off, cover the corn with cold milk\and cook until very tender. Seas,on with salt and pepper and add bits of brer rolled in dour. A question of Etiquette. "North of the Virginia border line I presume no well bred child today is permitted to say , ma'am,' and 'Yes, sir.' A good ay parents in- sist on 'Yes, Mrs. ,B IV or 'Yes, mother."No. father,' or 'No, Mr. Rob- inson.' But this fashion or :Ware -au Is supposed to be English, and the best authorities now inform us that across the water the mode has changed to plain yes and no without the added substantive. I prefer the old fashion of deference," says a Good Housekeep- ing writer. "No servility is implied in 'madam' or its abbreviation `ma'am,' but it carries in it a recognition of the greater dignity of the older person." Millinery Items.

Professor Yung of the University of 1,0, Switzerland, entertains great "tears 'concerning the future of our roWer limbs. Tis sage is of the opin- 'fon that within the next thousand years human beings will have forgot- ten lioNV to use their legs? and that yiese limbs, if evolution will not do nway with them, will serve as mere arnaments to the rest of the body. Professor Yung states that at the present age human beings show' a de -1 eided aversion -to personal or physical locomotion, and this is more manifest every time a new automatic traveling Instrument Is invented and rehdered I practical. Steam, electricity, cable power and the different velocipede ma- chines all bear an influence over us and create a dislike for walking, and the future generations will likely have the convenience of steerable airships at their windows and electric auto- mobiles at their doors, and these con- veyances will be so cheap that almost every one can own them, sad this weans, the doom of our legs. The latter will be regitOet as super- fluous appendages, no use will be made of them, and 'ho knows but that they relay disappear altogether? But so_ touch more will our 5rths develop in length and strength. These are the cruel laws of evolution, and it will be due to their 'pranks that future geh- erations will ttgaa resemble the apes. There will corn -Mother epoch ff short legs and long arms. Always Face the Engine. In his prime the late Mr. John Cook, the great tourist agent, was a man of iron frame. But when years of rail- way traveling, which averaged annual- ly some 40,000 miles, produced certain alarming symptoms, he made a dis- covery that may be worth giving to the public. He found that the threat- ened trouble, something spinal, dis- appeared when he no longer sat with his back to the engine. He always thereafter faced it, and that the prin- ciple is sound will be borne out by others whom he advised to do the same. , All who are called upon to do much railway traveling will be wise to 'f'acing the horses."

On the subject of cannibalism of the present day Theodore Koch discloses the following in his report to the in- ternational arabives of ethnography: A common Plactice still prevalent among the South American Indians is to kill the members of one's own fam- ily who through old age or sickness have become a burden to the family. The Mayorunas still eat their old and feeble, not excepting father or chil- dren, and in the case of the sick this is regarded as an act of piety.

"Great Jerusalem, the old blind fool will be right on top of me in a minit! Whoa, Ball! Whoa, haw, Ball!"

However small a visitor's room may be, it is always advisable to squeeze a writing table into it. Many people prefer writing In their own rooms, where they can be quiet and undis- turbed, and a hostess should see that they are duly provided with writing materials. The inkstand should be full, the paper rack and blotting book well supplied, new pens should be in the holders, there should be a penwiper and also a calendar with the correct day of the month indicated and a waste paper basket under the table. If the room be large enough for two peo- ple, two small beds are preferable to one large one. A screen should always be placed in a room when two people are going to occupy it. It is also a wise plan to place a night light on the mantelpiece. Many people habitually use them. DECORATED CARD HOLDER. Fashionable Hairdressing.

The Census. The'supervisor of census for the third district of Minnesota has learn- ed through one of the enumerators, whose district is one of the first ten on the list of enumeration districts, that he has received his treasury draft fur the full amount of the face of his voucher. The enumeration district in•which he worked was one of the Carver County districts, and the several districts in each county were numbered in alphabetical order, Ben - ten township iu Carver County being enumeration distriot No. 1. The counties ate listed alphabetically; the first district being in Carver County, the order of counties being Carver, Piakota, Goodhue, LeSueur, McLeod, Meeker, Renville, Rice, Scott, and Sibley. All of the portfolios have st y• e- s- re ce e districts, and e g e e e n d, n a been shipped to Washington, the la ahipment'liaving been made to -da The last shipment coinprised the r turns from fifteen enumeration di tricts, 'the numbs of which we distributed among tt►�e entire scquen of two hundred and these fifteen were Cloyed by th slowness of enumerators in makin corrections found necessary when th schedules were examined by th supervisor's clerks. No totals hay yet been announced as to populatio in any third district village, city, o township, but it would seem that a soon as the vouchers are audited an the drafts sent the census -people i Washington would very soon be in position to make such announcements -Hutchinson Times, 15th.. Wonderland 1900. The annual publication of the North- ern Pacific Railway for 1900 should be in the hands of every sch of teacher and every one- interested lit his country's history, It contains a large amount of historic information about the northwest, brought . down to the present and easily understood. • The principal chapter relates to the Louisiana Purchase. in 1803 and its partial exploration in 1804-6 by Lewis and Clark. This was the grA,test, exploration ever attempted by the taited States, and- the story of the. expedition's adventures on rivers, among Indians, and in the moun- tains outfictions' fiction. - The Story of it -Railway is a recital of • the difficulties attending the building of the Northern Pacific across mountains and plains -and its ultimate success, and is in itself an epitomized history of the northwest. The Geysers of/Yellowstone Park are not. as -some think, losing their power. In 1899 the greatest geyser, with one ex- ception, ever known in the park burst forth. and one of its eruptions is described iu this book. The antics and h•tbits of the park bears, so interesting to tourists, are also detailed. Another' chapter describes two delight- ful mountain resorts in Montana and Northern California. The value of this' publication as a supplementary text book will be seen at a glance by any teacher or parent. - T The book is for popular and general use and will be sent, 10 any one sending six cents. by Chas. S. Fee, St. Patel. Minn. Some of the state -papers are re- fusin','in advance the work of the writer employed by the republican state central committee. This is not because the matter is not timely or ably or cleverly written, hitt is large- ly lh't'ause the majority of country editors consider that, in thus, giving up their spat•(' or circulation to the gratuitious distribution of some -other tan's brain they are abandoning thmeir legitimate sources of revenue and acknowledging their inability to carry on their :own business. The writer employed by the committee is well.paid for his,work, thi' plate mak- ers and printers who put it in supple= ment form are well paid, but this ends the paving, avid the country publish- er, upon whose facilities for getting this platter before the people the whole fruition of the enterprise de- pends, is asked to •work for nothing, besides humiliating himself before his readers by tacitly admitting that he is unable to fully inform them on the political topics of the day.-Orton- ville herald .S'tar.

At- best it is rankly partisan, warped and unreliable. The prAss is in just as good "a position to get reliable in- formation regarding political con- ditions as the state central committee or its bureaus, and the boys who per- mit any political organization to con- trol or influence its political opinions sacrifleing their influence and in- dividuality in a way that they will regret as they get older. -Elk River Star Hews. The Union thanks the republican state central committee most sincere- ly, but guesses it is still able to edit lie own columns without "suggestions or advice." -Anoka 17nion. J. R. Hull, of The Manila Freedom, has gone to China in 'the interests of that newspaper. The State of Washington is known as the evergreen state because of its vast - forests. Outside of the lim- ited areas of big trees in California, there are no suchforests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., as are', found here. The trees are long and straight, and the massive timbers and fine shingles made from them are shipped all over the world. Washington fruit is a product of t=reat value. Its flavor and color are unsur- passed. East of the Cascade Mountains the climate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer in- dependent of ficin. West of the moun- tains irrigation is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for all purposes. Can- neries and fruit drying establishments can be operated prof iably in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are very profit- able crops, and beet sugar is rapidly making headway. Washington is a coming empire.

These excur- sions are run on the first and third Tues- days of the month:Tickets are sold from eastern terminals to points on main line and branches west of Aitkin and Little Falls, Minn., in nearly all cases, at one fare plus $2.00 for the round trip. Time is given for intending settlers and horneseekers to stop at various places and examine the conditions prevailing, prices of laud, etc.. with a view of purchasing homes at most desirable points. The northwest is the corning country. Good land is becoming scarce and these excursions offer opportunities, fur young people especially, to procure homes in the fittest portions of the northwest, in most cases reached only by the Northern Pacific.

His Life For a Hand. In a little town or village in Glouces- tershire there is it church which contains the mortal remains of one of the old Crusaders. In moldering ef- figy he is depicted on the tomb, while by his side in cold eloquence is imaged the term of his wife. It will be noticed by even the casual observer that the female image is' bereft of one of the hands, and the story runs that the Crusilder, while fighting in the east, was - made a prisoner _ of war and brought before Saladin, who, betel° executing judgment' upon him, asked him if there was any reason why he should not be put to death. To this the knight replied that he was but young, and would leave a newly wedded wife, who Wouhl bitterly mourn his loss. "The lose of woman is as a fleeting breath," retorted the sultan. "Your wife will forget that you have ever lived; shewill love again and marry another." To this the sad knight could only reply that on her fidelity be could rest his soul. "Well, then," replied Saladin, "I will promise on my oath as a soldier that if this man's wife will cut off one of her hands and send it to me I will set him free to go to her." By tedious and slow jour- neyings the message came, and she, in all piteousness for him who was heir lover and her lord, caused her hand to be cut off and sent it to the sultan, who kept his word and set the Cru- sader free. -Notes and Queries. A Wonderful Bird. One day a wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's-wife of the famous arctic explorer -home at Christiania. Instantly the window was opened and in another moment she covered the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage 80 long months, but it had not forgotten the Way home. It brought a note from Nansen, stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar region. Nansen had fastened a message to the bird and turned it loose. The frail courier darted out into the bllzzardy air. It flew like an arrow over a thousand miles of frozen waste, and then sped forward over another thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests, and one morning entered the window of the waiting mistress and delivered the message which she had been awaiting so anxiously. We boast of human pluck, sagacity and endurance, but this loving little carrier pigeon, in its homeward, flight, after an absence of 30 months, accom- plished a feat so 1.'onderful that' we can only give ourselves up to the amazement and admiration which must overwhelm every one when- the mar- velous story is told. -Atlanta Constitu- tion, manufacturing In the south. Attention is called by The Review of Reviews to the growing importance of the south in manufacturing. In the five years from 1890 to 1895 -and that they were difficult years for the Country at large no one can have for- gotten -the cotton belt doubled its number. of spindles and looms; in the four years since that time the maxi- mum of 1895 has been fairly doubled again. To realize this take Charlotte, N. C., as a center and travel, about a circle whose radius is only 100 miles. Within this limited area you will find today over 800 mills, operating, in round numbers, 4,500,000 spindles and early twice all many looms as the entire south had when the last census was taken. The major portion of these mills have ' been running day and night since last summer, thus doubling their estimated capacity. This makes it easy to understand how .the Old North „State will be able to use every bale of her own cotton crop of ;1899. Yet it is her sister, South Caro• lana, that holds tete present supremacy tin this manufacture in this section and lis pressing Rhode Island close for the !next place to Massachusetts out of the entire Union. Breads* a Derby Hat. Some men will buy two or three black derby hats a season, and these will al a look rusty and old. Other men w buy not more than one a year, and that will never lose its deep and brills t gloss. "I'11 tell ou why it is,". said one of the beat ers in town the other day. "It is because one man brushes his hat with a stiff bristled whisk, and the other rubs his softly with a piece of woolen cloth. The felt of a hat is such a delicate stuff that a stiff Whisk applied to it has pretty much the effect that a currycomb or a rake would have on a suit of clothes. It wears the nap off, exposing the bare gray foundation In short orders "A pie& of woolen cloth, rubbed over a hat with a circular motion that conforms to the grain, doesn't rub off the nap at all, but keeps it lustrous al ,firm and of good color. I buy one iso bata year and rub it each morning with a bit•of cannel. I guar- antee that it outlasts three $5 hats that are raked and scraped with whisks ev- ery day." -Philadelphia Record. . An lsztraordiaary ]Island. In the bay of Plenty, New Zealand, is one ofthe most extraordinary is- lands in the world. It is called White island and consists mainly of sulphur mixed with gypsum and a few other minerale. Over the island, which is about three miles in circumference and which rises between 800 and 900 feet above the sea, floats continually an immense cloud of vapor attaining an elevation of 10,000 feet. In the center Is a boiling lake of acid charged water covering 50 acres and surrounded with blowholes from which Steam and sul- phurous fumes are emitted with great force and noise. With care a boat oa, be navigated on the lake. The sulphur from White island is very pure, but little effort has yet been made to pro- cure it systematically. eraotuear Applieattoa. A certain minister during his die- course one Sabbath morning said, "Ley each blade of grass there is a sermon." The following day : one of his flock discovered the good man pushing a lawnmower about hIayard and paused to say, "Well, parson„rm glad to see you engaged in cuttinggyour sermons uhor't! -•Chicago News. ,h Effect ad Fear on Wounds. The fear of poison in a lacerated wound under certain circumstances is in itself quite sufficient to give a wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw, than which no more horrible complica- tion exists. Thus for a tong time it was thought that the nat%s of the Solomon and other neighboring is- lands Iately added to the empire used poisoned arrows and many white men shot by them died in ;tetanic convul- sions, including one very horrible case of a commander In the navy who had made a special study of tetanus. At length the French governor of New Caledonia, noticing that the symp- toms exhibited were not consistent with the use of any known poison, ap- pointed a medical comdkission to In- quire into the affair, whe it was dis- covered that the arrows off( the natives were not poisoned at all, although con- structed In such a way that a small piece of the bone point almost always remained in the wound. The irritation produced by this prevented the wound from healing quickly, and the mental disturbance pitoduced by fear and per- haps change of climate did the rest. 'It was discovered at the same time that the natives of other islands who firmly believed ih the poison theory seldom suffered much inconvenience from the arrow wound«, because they believed that the spells given them by their own sorcerers prevented the poi- son from taking effect. -Pall Mall Ga- zette. Irascible Von Bulow. During Hans von Bulow's leader- ship of the orchestra at Hanover a tenor of fame was engaged to play a star role in "Lohengrin," according to Das Nene Blatt, and while the singer was rehearsing his part Bulow was forced to go over the same bars a num- ber of times without the new actor° beginning to sing. Tired of his wasted efforts, the leader stopped the orchestra and angrily turned to the singer. "I know that a tenor is proverbially stupid," he said, "but you seem to make an extensive use of this unwrit- ten law." At another time, while one of his grand intermezzo's was being pigyed with great feeling by his musicians, a peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by untrained ears, annoyed the leader for some little time. At first he thought it resembled the flutter of wings, but soon he discovered an elegant lady fanning herself in one of the boxes ekrse by. Bulow kept on with his ges- tures, fixing his eyes on the offender in a manner which meant reproof. The lady, not heeding this, was suddenly surprised by the leader dropping his stick and turning toward her. "Madam!" he cried, "If fan you mus., please at least keep time with your in- fernal nuisance." eh, Too Much For the Tiger. A keeper at the Philadelphia zoo told the following interesting story of an encounter he once had with a tiger in India: "With several companions I was on My way to' visit some native friends in a neighboring village, and as the jungle paths were the shortest route we made the trip in chairs slung on carriers' shoulders. I was about half asleep from the swinging motion when I was pitched out by the native drop- ping the poles and scampering off. That's how I met my tiger. With a bound he was on me and bad taken a mouthful of my coat, intending, no doubt, to carry me into the dense un- dergrowth. "Fortunately for me I bad a big bot- tle of ammonia in my coat pocket, car- ried it for snake bites, you know, and when the brute took the mouthful he broke the bottle. The whiff he got made his whiskers curl, and one was enough. Ile rolled over a couple of times, gasping and waving his paws, and then made off as quickly as he appeared. Hurt? No, only a few bruises from the fall, but the close shave took ' my nerves for some months." We are allinventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart of which there is no duplicate.

But ho explain Mie D to aven t her mis poi' e s take, and, picking up her letter, he " (AMATEUR ART WORK SUMMER SHORTCAKES. • carefully reread it. Her quotation o the word "accept" was a bit strange. Its blindness, suggested his own use of - the word. What if he had made a mis- take in the letters and inclosed them in the wrong envelopes? In that case he could understand fill but his own asi- nine stupidity. Was ever man in such c a box before, engaged hy letter to a girl be did not love and refused by the woman he did love and in a way that left no chance for explanation that he could see. Perhaps later he might find a way to enlighten Mabelle as 'to mat- ters, but how to explain to Miss Daven- port without cruelly wounding her pride and making matters worse? Of course he must call tonight- and take her to the concert, trusting for some chance to straighten out this tangle. John Hobbs never forgot that even- ing, and how he avoided actually com- mitting himself by asking that q tiou he presumed he was expected to ask, but in spite of his nncomfortable position and unenviable f ime of mind he found himself' enjoying the music, and could not but notice his compan- ion's attractive face and charm of manner, and that her well bred com- posure was enhanced by a quiet mod- esty and seriousness of manner to which heshad been blind before. Somehow John found himself saying he would call on Sunday evening, which he dict, and really enjoyed the companionship of these two relined women. This call was repeated sev- eral times during the following month, and still John had not asked the ques- tion, but on the contrary ad begun to wonder why he had if& before no- ticed the many attractive qualities Miss Davenport possessed. As no word of explanation had passed be- tween him and Mabelle Whitney, it was useless to anticipate any hope In this direction. --- As for Mildred Davenport he had grown to admire the many beautiful /qualities of her n omanly sweetness. As a daughter she was devoted and thoughtful, ancii, then the thought grew in hismind,;would sihenot make an ideal wlfetothe man who should be fortunate enough to win her? Had he really any chance, he asked himself, a, dozen times a day, and one night soon after he quietly told Mildred the whole story, saying, "And 'now that my mis- take has been the means of my find- ing out what real love is and should be, will you, knowing all the story of my stupid blunder and happy awaken- ing to a better, truer affection, accept a devotion which I will prove by my whole life is yours and yours only?" and Mildred's acceptance was given and not implied. -Boston Post. f ' BEAUTIFUL VASES, BOWLS, ETC., THAT MAY BE MADE FROM GOURDS. It was just 3:30 by the dusty -clock that did duty in the editor's office of ' The Daily Telegram, when John Ilobbs, manager and general,factotum for thaelihnter)rising paper, from which he derived a snug little Income, sud- denly remembered the day of the week. It was Thursday and on the following evening the most select concert of the seasonwould take place, where the social ,set of Wrensville would be in evlderlce. Now for nearly a- year John bad been a frequent and more or less regular caller on Miss ?Iabclle Whitney, the very pretty daughter of a very rich Merchant. Ile, had intended to ins1ite her all along, but this delay in his invitation might men a disappointment. IIe .Would soon -know and why not embody in his note a declaration of his affec- tions, and so put to the test whether she Peturned his love or not. This seemed a happy thought, so he began: My Dear Friend -May I hope for the pleasure of e your company at the concert' tomorrow evening ' by the Siengerst -club? I have a q'Oestion toask you, theanswer to which will make nee either the most miserable or happiest of men. If you accept my invitation to the concert, I shall understand your answer will not be •"No" to the more mo- mentous question, and a refusal of tar imitation I shall consider as a refusal of yours, with d pest regard,, Jolts; ELLIOTT Hoang. I'or a man of so brilliant a mind this was really a very lame proposal, but John sign•Fd his natae with a conscious- - ness of having said just enough and not too much, feeling quite sure in the depths- of his honest devetion to her that her answer would be what he hoped. With this load off his mind he turned to the perusal of his afternoon mail, with which his dcSk was littered. Another story from the pen of Miss Davenport. Well, this one he had bet- ' ter reject, for she was really gaiting Von() her depth, or so it seemed to him. To be slrre, she sketched her characters with an artist's skilln a d was decidedly original in plot and ac`- tion, but the public, his public, must be amused, and her heroines never seemed happy, v and what was is more never married the her4ites, nor any one else, for that matter- /le . did not _ .want to personally say "no"' fo this girl, in whom unconsciously 'he had be- come -so interested and whom he recog- nized as • a clever writer, sure to win for herself a name in the world. But he had already mti(le up his mind not to accept more of her work, and so taking up the stub pea which had eter- tainly seen better days, lie dashed off 'as follows: My Dear Madam -Notwithstanding our. appre- ciation of and admiration for your style we find we must discontinue acceptance for the present. Trusting to be of service at some future date, I am, yours very truly, JOHN Ewoor HOBBS. "I flatter myself that is neatly done," thought John, so hastily placing the notes in- their. respective envelopes and addressing the „same he rang •for the office boy. ° Friday morning dawned dull and rainy, with little prospeet of clearing - weather, and as John sat in his office his courage' and spirits were at ebb tide. It teas all owing to the weather, he thought, and not a premonition of failure. Anyway he had stopped.at.the • florist's and ordered a box of gorgeous violets sent,his love, and they -must bee received ,by this time. --' Just then the postman opened the dooms Not a line from her in this mall, onlysome advertisements, a bill or two, three cards of invitation, a check, thanks for that, and last of all, a small envelope in the well known hand- writing of Miss Davenport. A reply! to his dismissal of the day, before, he presumed, and, feiring to open the note he read' My Dear Mr, obbs-The contents of your let. tee, although a ery great surprise to me, have made me very ha It is hardl .n r pyecesea for Y Y me to add that I "accept" your invitation and shall ex_pert you this evening.

Quite the reverse, he had supposed. It sounded like some mystery of romance from her versatile pen, but it was no jesting matter he reflected, rememberis g the concert and his anxiety of mind con- cerning his answer from ?Sias tney. Just then, In his reflection door was flung open and a messenger boy - sang out: "Mr. Hobbs! Very important. No answer." And depositing a Pack- age handed John his book for signa- ture. John recognized the handwriting of the address and hastily tore it open. A large bunch of violets met his aston- • fished gaze and a letter, which read as follows: Mr. Hobbs: • Sir -Allow me to return yoar property, which by some mfsthke was Bent tone: As to my style, I consider it preaumptuous on your part to pass ant comment on what cannot possibly be of in- Itereet or concern of yours.

"The current impre§sion that China men eat rats -I mean ordinary Ameri- can rats -is all nonsense," said Dr. James J. i aason a Wel 1 known Chi- nese misstouaiy, chatting about his ex- periences in the Flowery Kingdom. "The truth in -regard to it is this: Thert is a small animal a in China known colloquially as the tsui-chow, that is often bred especially for food. It infests tike rlcetious, and is about the size of au ordinary rat, but has a longer body and a head shaped some- thing like that of a ferret. It is a very prolific creature and is sold in enor= mous numbers in•al `,the markets of the great cities -neatly caned and skew- ered apart and strun in bunches of 20 or 30 on bamboo re s. "The tsui-chow is st ictly an edible a inial, and, feeding entirely on rice, it n urall'y has very deli to and savory flesh. I have eaten th and if I had been able to get the r t idea out of my mind would have el'shed the dish. i' hey taste something like -young squir- rels, and alive or dead are certainly much less repulsive than many things; we commonly esteem ask' delicacies - eels And frogs, for example." A Mountain of Sulphui. ' TheSoufriere, or sulphurous m ipun- tain, s considered to be the greatest natural curiosity of St. Lucia, and, in fact, of the West Indias. It is situated about half an hour's ride frorn the 1wn of Soufriere, to which it h given its name, and nearly two mile= to the east of the Pitons, and is at the foot of two small hills, both of. which are quite bare of vegetation on the sides facing the crater. It covers a space of about three acres, and is crust- ed over with sulphur and alum. There are several caldrons in a perpetual state of ebullition.

Ants , ' very industrious seed col- lectors, and may be seen toiling along their paths laden with seeds, which are stored up in granaries in the nest. In the clear space round the nest there Is frequently a patch or patches of a peculiar kind „of grass that produces seeds that are much sought after by the ants. It has been said that the ants make the clearing, and sow the seed 'of this grass on purpose to reap tbe crop, but evidenee is yet wanting to show that the grass is Intelligently sown and not accidentally. The fact remains, however, that on or around many nests there are crops Q; the grass, and That it is not destroyed like other vegetation by the ants. Training Canaries, In the canary breeding establish- ments of Germany only the male birds are valued, because the females never sing. The method of training the birds to sing1 s to put them e mina room where there is an automatic whistle, which they all strtve'to imitate. The breeder listens to the efforts of the birds and ,picks out the most apt pupils, which RN then placed in another room for further instruction. These are tbe best Singers and ultimately fetch high prices. -Berlin Correspondence. • Too Long to Wait: If you will get my new suit done by Saturday," said a customer to a tailor, "P11 be forever ind4iteci to :" "If that's your me," replied the teaser "the elbtbes will not be done at e-il."-Indianapolis Journal. Gourd With Decoration Scraped Out With a Sharp Knife - Mounting Gourds on Metal -Pyrography and Aniline Co lag. It is notg a ll known what beau- tiful tiful articles can be made from gourds. By cutting they can be shaped into vases, bowls, and, the like, which can be mounted upon feet and decorated. SCRAPER DECORATION -SILVER MOUNTING. The gourd is made up of three laye's. The first or outer one is composed of a hard but greasy silicitate, resembling the outer covering of can; the second is a brittle, ----creamy composition, and that inside is a cellular substance or pith. The cutting of the gourd is.done with a thin, sharp bladed knife, the shape being_ first marked off with a lead penciL It is cut slightly all around, not going through the shell; this is repeated until the pith is reach- ed, and then the two portions will easily cothe apart. Great care should be exercised, as the gourd is very brit- tle and is liable to crack. After the gourd limit the pith should' be cleaned out and the edge smoothed with sand- paper! If the gourd is of such a shape that it should have feet, their position should now be marked off. Many gourds will stand without feet. To weight them and give them steadiness some hot lead should be poured in. A little Shellac should be placed in the bottom first, which the hot lead will melt; this is added to insure the ad- hesion of the metal to the gourd. The design is the next consideration. It should be drawn direct upon the sur- face. For permanent decoration there are three methods to choose from, or any two of them may be combined with good effect, The first is with a pyrographic point. When this is used• it should be awith a slow, continuous movement The colors to be obtained range 'fro brow to black. The de- sign may be in13ades of brown, and the background may be burn in black, or the retlterse Again, the pyrographic used for outlining only, and t e desi,, may be brought outy scraping -that is to say, the hard. easy surface of a buff or reddish tinge may be left for the ground and ma be' sc 'raped down toe creamy whit layer for the de- sign.' 'The scraping fs)cione with pieces brokenglass when lar of wL window o g surfaces are to be scraped away, but when more delicate work is to be Aone a sharp knife le to be preferred. The third method of decorating is by the use of aniline (fres. Either ground or ornament can be of any desired color, but the gourd must be dyed all over before any other work is clone upon it. Fill the gourd with sand and cork it ulp. Prepare some strong, hot soda or potash water. place the gourd in this for about ten minutes, then pre- pare the dye. Have it boiling, take the gourd from the potash and wash 'It in clean, hot water and submerge It in the dye. Let it remain until it is sufiieiently colored, then wash In hot water and dry with clean rags. The gourds may be mounted with metal riveted together to a very snug fit and -slipped over the body or largest part. To fasten the metal firmly on the gourd, hot melted shellac should be used as a cement. They may also be mounted with copper or brass wire, which can be fastened on by binding and twisting so as not to require rivets er solder. To polish apply with a rag beeswax dis olved in turpentine. The turpen- ti',e evaporates, leaving a thin coating wax, which can be brought to a h with a stiff brush.

Peach Shortcake, Banana Short- cake, Etc„ Served With Cream. , Now, in a real genuine shortcake the cake must be short, not rich, not spongy and not heavy. The berries must be fresh and juicy, without a suspicion of being overripe, and they must be placed on the cake just a few minutes before it is sent to the table. Plenty of berries there must be, and in order to mltke this shortcake simply perfect there must bA►tnn abundance of rich, sweet cream to pour over it, and there you have a dish fit for the gods -and a genuine American shortcake. There are other kinds which sire good to eat, and, while holding to the gen- eral principle as regards the cake, one may'go farther afield in the matter of filling. A cake with a well matte me- ringue, served with- a custard sauce in- stead of the cream, is not to be de- spised. Peaches, apricots, plums, stoned cher- ries, bananas and oranges all make goo8 filling. It is well to remember that fruit cannot properly be called fresh after it has been standing with sugar on it for several hours, and it is well to use the sugar sparingly for the filling and to pass the powdered sugar with it at the table. When custard sauce is prepared to serve with the cake instead of cream, only a very lit- tle sugar, if any, must be put in it. ' A Delicious Shortcake. -Three cup- fuls of flour, one cupful of butter, one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking pow- der, one tablespoonful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, cream enough to mix into a paste which can be easily rolled, or, if cream cannot be had, use milk to which bas been added a well beaten egg. Divide in two and roll Into eak •s, about the size of -a dinner plate. Trial the edges of the cakes with a sharp knife and bake in a mod- erately hot oven. When cool, wrap tile cakes in a towel and put them In a cool place till needed. - Peach Shortcake, -Make the cakes and when just ready to send- to the table put in the filling. Butter the bot- tom cake and lay on it a generous layer of peeled and sliced peaches sparingly dusted with powdered sugar. Lay on the top cake and another layer of peaches. If the fruit is not'very large, it may be cut in halves instead of sliced. 'Whipped ct eam piled over the top layer makes a welcome addition. Banana and Pineapple Shortcake. - Butter the under cake, cut the bananas in slices across and eolt;cr• the cake thickly with these. Peel the pineapple and carefully remove the eyes. With a horse radish grater grate it over the bananas and sprinkle sparingly with powdered sugar. Cover the top layer in the same way. Do not put in the filling till you are about ready to serve the cake, as the bananas discolor quickly. Serve with thick sweet cream.-lIousehold.

A ; scientist has entered a pitotest agaipst the use of the term "lobster" as an epithet implying lack of skill or, courage. He says that lobsters on the Nova Scotian coast draw up in battle array and fight for hours according to thoroughbred rules, the coast being lit- tered with claws and other evidences of dismemberment when the struggle is over. 1 - Complied With the Law. "A certain well knowli Mobile law- yer, who was lame and had something of a reputation as a fighter," said a southern gentleman, "was at one time attorney in a suit that -caused much ill feeling. He won the suit for his client, ind the loser vowed vengeance. 'In pursuance of that .same; In the 'lan- guage of Truthful James,, be one day went into the lawyer's office and sub- jected him to a tirade of abuse that would have caused a salt water cap- tain to die from pure envy, such was his talent in vituperation. "The lawyer answered him nothing, to the surprise of two or three men who were present, but, getting out of his chair, begaito hobble backward. His enemy, thin ng he was retreating, followed him up, with more abuse and threatening gestures. "The lawyer's foot finally struck against the wall, when he suddenly straightened up and saying, 'Gentle- men, fiscal' on you to witness that, on account of this wall, I have retreated as far as possible' (the general law of homicide), drew out a derringer and shot his opponent. "At the trial he was acquitted, his witnesses being the men present at the time,of the killing, who testified to the lawyer's having retreated as far as possible:" -New York Tribune. A Cold Night In Canada. The sky pt night is a deep dark blue, and the stars are like dropping balls of fire, so c1,Ose they seem'to be almost within reach. The northern lights look as 1f a titanic paint brush had been dipped in phosphoitscent flame and drawn in great, bold strokes across the heavens. As you pass the electric lamps you see very fine particles of snow caught up by the wind and glittering high in the air like diamonds. But it is a cold night, and you are not sorry to get into your room. First of all, you take a blanket or so from the bed, for.+here are people in Canada who sleep all the year round with only a sheet over them, to such a pitch of perfection have they brought the heating of their rooms. After you have tucked yourself in the stillness of the night is broken oc- casionally by a report like a cannon. Have you ever been inside a bathing machine when a mischievous boy threw a stone at it? And, if so, do you remember how you jumped? When .the walls of a wooden house crack in the bitter cold, the effect is similar, only magnified. But you know what it means here, so you only draw the clothes closer round you, thank'ril that you are snug and warm. And so good night.-Blackwood's. What They Deserved. Not very long since an exceedingly well dressed man about 35 was charg- ed in a north London court with being drunk. He promptly paid his 10 shil- lings' fine and went away. A fortnight later a stylishly dressed woman was charged with a similar offense. As she gave the same name and address I concluded they were husband and wife. . SoI called on them, and my -visit was repeated several times. They had a very nice home, kept two servants and had four children. I noticed a bonny lad of 8,• as I saw him several times. Some months later I got a letter as fol- lows: Dear Mr. Holmes -You know my Jack, the 8 -year-old. I am sorry to say that he has got into bad ways -steals money from us, stops out late and is very disobedient. Can you get him into any training home or institution ,of any kind, where his evil propensities will be cured? Kindly oblige m in this. I could not resist the temptation to reply as follows: Dear Sir -I know of but one cure for Jack's evil propensities, and that is a thorough applica- tion of the horsewhip to eats. -Conte rary Review. Conscience the Coward. Murderers uncaught suffer awful agonies of fear when alone with their consciences, but when apprehended, tried, convicted, sentenced and incar- cerated they become callous to fear. Jailers tell me this is the general rule. There is an acquitted murderer in this city, once a leading politician, who has not been able to sleep alone in a dark room these 29 years. A light must be kept burning and an attendant is con- stantly on guard. A Wall street -bro- ker, who has "done" every one of is most faithful friends, dares not go bed in the dark. He keeps a li t burning in his room and one iii he hall, leaving the door open. In the small hours of the morning he awak- ens his family with pitiful cries. The city man who M not afraid of the dark- est alleys, who will brave thugs and stable gangs at any hour of the night, is in a panic when alone in a forest - New York Press. Pulpit and Pew.

Wealth From Sand ° 0z MACHINE TO EXTRACT• GOLD • o AND IRON FROM SHIFT- 0 ING SOIL. .o0o0, Q04,0,04 0;.0000000000 Pure iron and ,gold can be extracted from sand. Immense tracts of hereto- fore worthless territory previously giv- en over to sand heaps have hidden in their shifting soil. the sport of every passing breeze, hundreds of tons of gold and thousands on thousands of tons of iroti. Rut while this has been known the cost of extracting the metalhas precluded any use being made of this iyformation. • . Professor Elsner Gates has, however, just perfected an invention which makes it profitable to "inine" these and heaps. and it is exploited in Pear - son's Magazine. The process by which iron and golu are taken from sand by Professor 1.wasommaimas 7 NEW MIN:'.. ;IacIIINa. • Gates is an extremely simple one. A child could do the work. If the reader will go outside his house and get a handful If sand. not the white stuff that forms the Atlantic coast. but the sand so common along certain beaches anci inland rivers, called "magnetic sand." and look at the sand very close- ly in the direct sunlight, he will notice that it contains they black grains and• tinier yellow specks. It is no secret' among people who know anything < aboiit minerals that the .specks that shine so brightly are gold and that the black specks are iron oxide. Ask any geologist, and he will tell you that "magnetic sand" is. what today is left of what were once great mountains of stone that had an abundance of iron and gold strewn throughout them. The rains of a million or two centuries have washed the lofty mountains of rocks down to level plains of sand, but with the splitting of the mountains into fragments the -particles of iron, 'gold and rock of which the mountains were originally composed have continued to hold themselves together in the form of grains which we call sand. The miner- . alogist will also tell you that the iron in the sand is the best iron that can be found anywhere in the world. This iron is separated from the sand by a' magnet. 'Professor Gates has made a machine consisting of an elec- tric magnet to the end of which is fas- tened a piece of steel shaped like the whiskers of Trilby's friend Taffy. Really there is nothing that this piece of steel resembles more strikingly, so, that even among the humdrum engi- neers in Professor Gates' workshop it is referred to as "Taffy's whiskers." The face of these whiskers is not smooth. It is composed of a series of cells like a honeycomb. Over the face of these whiskers, under it, behind it and above it runs a belt of rubber cloth on four rollers so arranged that when a handle is turned the rubber belt moves and keeps moving continually down over the face of the "whiskers." When a current of electricity is turn- ed into the magnet, the attraction of "Tafyrs whiskers" is so strong that If you bold a penknife in front of it the whiskers will snatch it out of your hand in a wink. Hold a handful of gold ore dust in the same place, and they will not be at all affected. Now, it is according to a natural law that those parts of the "whiskers" which cor- respond to the walls of the honeycomb, the walls of the cells, have deny thou- sand times more magnetic attraction than have those parts of the "whis- kers" which correspond to the vacant cells in the honeycomb. So when a handful of sand is thrown, against the. belt the iron sticks and the sand falls away. The attraction of the gold par tides to the iron particles 1s so great that the gold goes with the iron parti- cles, although the magnet does not at- tract the gold of its own accord. The rush ,of the metal particles from the sand to the embrace of the "whis- kers" is so rapid that particles of sand adhere to the iron. But the belt below the sand and "whiskers," which is all the time moving, releases -and grips the iron continually, while the sand is thus shaken loose. In another machine called a magnet entangler the, iron and gold particles are mixed together when they leave the machine. They do not remain to- gethervery long, however. Profeseor Gates has only to pass them through a third sort of separator, which he calls a "diamagnetic separator" (the first one is called simply "magnetic separa- tor"), and these gold and iron specks part company absolutely. Both metals are then ready for smelting. Coral Reefs In the Moon. A. E. Whitehorse says that there was "a time when the moon had salt water seas," as affirmed in Professor Darwin's treatise on "The Tides," and that the polyps that formed the great barrier reef on the east coast of Aus- tralia, over 1,000 miles in length, fron- one to two miles in breadth and 3,000 feet deep, might have formed any crater that can be seen on the moon. SEEDLESS ORANGES. heir Introdsetion In America Dut to a Woman. The introduction into the United States of the seedless orange, the cul- ture of which has assumed such large proportions on the Pacific coast, was primarily due to an American woman. Traveling in the province of Bahia, Brazil, in 1866, she incidentally men- tioned in a le to a fiend in the United States,race Capron, then commissioner of agriculture, that the oranges Bahia were of superior quality to t se •raised in the United States. No e nee expression of taste probably ever as fraught with more magnificent ult. Mr. William Saun- ders, then as now, in charge df the gardens and grounds of the depart- ment of agriceIture, had already de- voted some attientlon to the improve. ment of orange culture in the United States and had introduced a few new varieties from foreign countries: This letter,being brought to his attention, suggested the possibility of a new find in the field of orange culture. A re- quest Was sent for specimens for prop- agating purposes. A bo; of cuttings from trees was returned, which unfor- tunately proved worthless. A specific order was then forwarded for plants, and in 1870 a small shipment of 12 young trees, all of the same variety and well packed in wet moss and clay, arrived in Washington in fairly good condition. This was the o'iginal stock from which have sprung all the far famed orange groves producing what is commercially known as the "Riverside navel (or seedless) orange" of southern. California. All of the 12 plants were planted, in the department grounds and thrived. At the proper time buds from these 12 trees were grafted upon small orange plants then under cultivation at the department and the process . of propagation repeated at proper inter- vals. As the supply increased hundreds of the young plants were distributed through Florida and California, at first under the name of the "Bahia orange," afterward as the "Washington navel." For some undiscovered reason condi- tions in Florida proved unfavorable to the productiveness of the trees, but the development and success of their cul- ture in California constitute a subject of unusual interest. Ancient Sundials. It is probable that the earliest sun• dial was simply the spear of some no mad chief stuck upright-16'the ground before his tent, says E. W. Maunder. in Knowledge. Among t..ose desert wan- derers, keen to observe their surround- ings, it would not be a difficult thing to notice that the shadow shortened as ..the sun rose higher in the sky and that the shortened shadow always pointed in the same. direction—north. The rec- ognition would, have followed very soon that this noonday 'shadow chang- ed in its length from day to day. A six. foot spear would give a shadow at noonday in latitude 40 degrees of 12 - feet at one time of the year, of less than two feet at another. his instru- ment, so simple, so easilA carried, so easily set up, ma*well have begun the scientific study ifff astronomy, for U lent itself to measurement, and science is measurement, and probably we see it expressed in permanent form in the obelisks of Egyptian solar temples, though -these no doubt were retained merely as solar emblems ages after their use as actual instruments of ob- servation had ceased. An upright stick carefully plumbed standing on some level surface may therefore well make the first advance upon the natural hori- son. A knob at the top or the stick will be found tip render the shadow more easily observed. The Telegraphone. A special kind of phonograph called 'the telegraphone has been invented by V. Poulaen of Copenhagen. As deseribed by The Electrical Re- view, the invention consists largely in substituting a steel ribbon for the wax cylinder used in the ordinary phono- graph and in magnetizing points In this ribbon instead of marking It with a pointed rod, as Is done in the case of the wax cylinder. The oscillations of a magnet near the ribbon 'When one tallki into the instrument - produce • a perma- nent magnetic record in the ribbon which is given out as words when the ribbon is afterward moved near a simi- lar magnet suitably mounted. An additional feature is found in the fact that the words spoken into the re- ceiver can be recorded at a distance, at the end of a telephone or telegraph wire. A message arriving in one's ab- sence will be impressed on the ribbon and Can be read off when one returns home. By arranging the ribbon as a continuous band, like -a band sack, a message can be sent to a large number of subscribers at the same time, each having a small vibrating magnet to take the $Iessage from the telephone wire. The steel ribbon used is about one five -hundredth of an inch thick. The Kammatograph. In the kammatograph nearly 600 pictures are taken on a plate 12 inches i1diameter, the turning of a handle using a slow rotary and lateral mo - n, with the necessary stop for ex- posure at every fourteenth second. The pictgres thus impressed in a spiral com- bine in an "animated photograph" when a positive plate Is passed through the camera in front of a lantern.— Popular Science.

Glen Miller, a United, States marshal In Utah was sitting in his office at Salt Lake City one day when a well dress- ed and intelligent looking man entered and addressed him. "I was confident that I knew the man," ,said Glen iu re- citing the circumstances, "but I was not able to place him.„As we conversed pleasantly it gradually became im- pressed upon me that he was an. old Kansas acquaintance, perhaps some one I had known at the university, but be spoke so cordially and with such an assumption of his knowing me and my knoping him that I did not have the nerve to ask him who he was. "In Salt Lake," continued the il- ing marshal, "we have the same ash - ion of doing the square thing by a -friend that used lo prevail in Kansas. There is no prohibition law in Utah, and we found a place near by that was sufficient unto our purposes. After I had said something, and he something, we quickly got along to the stage where I invited him to my house for dinner, but all .the time I was taxing my mind` to learn his identity and watching fora chance word that would give me a clew.

This is a return to an older fashion, but it is so improved that, although it enhances the best lines of the figure, the soft materials used are so effective. ly draped that they almost give the appearance of a "princess"e robe, and really hard and. fast lines are done away with. Such a gown can only be handled by an expert and worn by the exclusive few. Odd Burials. Not long ago there died in a north London suburb a lady who wished to be buried in the bedstead in which she had lain continuously for nearly a quarter of a -century prior to her de- cease, and to insure, as she thought, her wishes being respected she left a plump contingent legacy to a relative. As the bedstead in question, however, was of the old "four post" variety, and an unusually massive specimen at that, the cemetery authorities objected. Eventually a compromise was effected. The bedstead was taken to pieces, and from the timber so obtained a sort of box coffin was constructed for the re- ception of the remains. It is, however, among the mining population that instances of funeral ec- centricity are most common. Jack Hustler, a coal hewer of Tong, near Leeds, who died the other day at the age of 67, was buried In a coffin con- structed to his own specification 20 years ago. It was made of pitch"Pine, with silver handles, and the ,lid was hinged at one erld. The deceased was buried with a lump of coal which he had carefully preserved for years. It se • -ed as his pillow, and his tobacco at d p so found a place beside him. This latter custom is said to be very pre\•alent among the coni miners. The tin miners of Cornwall almost invari- ably include' an umbrella among the coffin "furniture." I It would be iil,teresting to learn the origin and significance of this strange use.—London Express: Learning a Language. How is 1t that Englishmen are not the best linguists in Europe? Simply and solely because of the general and absurd "deaf and dumb" method of studying y ng foreign languages. Foreign-, ers learning English know better than to waste years over books; they empty "chatter" and learn one word and ex- pression after another, and become familiar with them by constant repeti- tion, with the result that in a few months they can speak and write our language sufficiently well for all prac- tical purposes.—London Mall. A Submerged Forest. There Is a submerged forest on the Columbia river between the Dalles and the Cascade mountains. According to Mr. G. K. Gilbert, the submergence took place 350 years ago, and since then the roots have been under water, while the upper parts of the trunks have been bared yearly at low water. The bark is gone and thewd.partly wasted away, but some it is firm and looks fresh. This f t seems ow- ing to the durable quality of. the wood of that species -namely, the Pseudot- suga douglassi. Australia, it is estimated, is capable of supporting at least 100,000,000 In- habitants. • Some Simple Remedies. In one of the United States health reports published in Washington a few simple remedies for emergency uses are suggiested. Witch hazel is one and is recommended as one of the quickest soothers and restorers of a tired brain. Bathe the eyes and forehead freely with the liquid and apply a cloth wet with it at the back of the neck. Cloths wet in a strong®solution of borax water are very cool and healing in case of a burn; care should be taken, however, to exclude the air in putting them on. - A tiny pinch of powdered borax placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly will almost instantly. stop a hacking, irritating cough that may be disturbing one at night The same treatment relieves an ulcer in the throat, and at the slightest irri- tation or soreness of the throat a gar- gle of salt water and borax will be found efficient W Cycling In -Normandy. The roads in Normandy are splendid for cycling, the only disadvantage be- ing that the straightness of many main routes hides the beauty of the country, for which reason it is often a good plan, when time is not an object, to pick out the byways on the map. This is the easier because not only are the byways excellently kept, but the name of a Wrench Tillage is plainly written up, and one does not have ridiculous difficulty; as sometimes in Englaad, in finding out where one is. Signposts and milestones are abundant, and the decimal system renders them perfectly simple and exact. — "Highways and Byways In Normandy," by Deartner.

As there was no ring to be had in the house the resourceful clergyman sent for his wife's sewing scissors and, with the finger clasp, completed the; cere- mony. Drinks and Thirst. 'It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach and so create thirst. Experi- ence shows it to be a fact that hot drinks. relieve thirst and "cool off the body when It is in'an abnormally heated condition better than ice cold drinks."

( OO o4opo4opo4o4o..o4o4o4oO0007 The man whose brain is small finds a certain satisfaction in the conviction that a woman's must of necessity be smaller. It is a very ancient arrogance —old as the Aryan housefather and older. We find in it ample development among savages, whose contempt for the female understanding is usually measureless, says Professor Alexander Sutherland in the New York Journal. In proportion as men progress toward civilization so do they grow out of this crude Fonceit. Atit they never divest themselves of 14 to more than a partial extent. The "barbarian, even when he has an intuitive feeling which_ makes hint net on the advice of his women folk. al- ways asserts his independence and scorns tp give them more than a crumb of credit for a success which may pos- sibly have originated in their mild sug- gestions. Every year seems to show with in- creasing conclusiveness that whatever be the ultimate decision in regard to the occurrence of genius there is in the great mass of cases a practical equali- ty in the male and female minds. Dr. Boyd, who at St. Marylebone hos- pital weighed the brains of 652 men and 715 women, supplies us with fig- ures from which we can calculate that the average man lips 10 per cent more brain weight than the average woman. Vierordt's figures from 152 men and 172 atiomen give the average man an advantage of 12 per cent. But these are absolute measurements and therefore farm no test of intelli- gence. Else would the whale, the ele- phant and the dolphin, with their huge brains, be all more intelligent than man. But .if it be objected that this comparison is sophistical on account of disparity in quality then I readily make the comparison within the hu- man race itself. It is plain, then, that the big man derives no advantage in the way of intellect from thebigness of his brain, and that man, in so far as his larger brain is due to his larger body, enjoys no advantage in capacity over wo- man. The comparison must evidently be one of proportion, and yet the diffi- cult question =Irises, What is to be the basis of that proportion? 'Occasion- al efforts have in the last 40 years been made by physiologists to settle this point, 'but there is none yet that is satisfactory. The most obvious and most usual is to compare the brain weight with the' body '-eight. If this be done, woman has proportionately a larger brain than man, for Boyd's figures show that she has .50 ounce of brain for every pound of weight in her body, while man has only .47 ounce. Here she has an advantage of 6 per cent. Bischoff's figures, gathered in Bonn from 526 men and 332 women, give to the feminine brain exactly the same advantage of 6 per cent, and'those of Vierodt, Parchappe and others lead to closely approximate resu1lts. Is the ignominlqus conclusion, then, to be swallowed and digested that, after all, Instead of being inferior wo- man is more richly endowed with brain than man? STUDY IN BRAINS Copying Drawings. It is known that a drawing laid flat can be copied by looking obliquely through a vertical pane .of glass at its reflected image, which appears to be on a sheet of paper on the other side of the glass, where the sheet should USE OF MIRRORS IN c,`OPTING be shadowed from light. Some prac- tice is needed in accurately tracing the lines of the drawing. because the pencil point is accompanied by a refracted image of itself: It to obvious that the picture is re- versed in the image right and left. To obviate this M. Prudhomme, as re- ported. in La Nature, has devised the arrangement given in the accompany- ing illustration. The picture is 'placed vertically. it is reversed in a mirror set before it at an angle of 45 degrees. Then It is righted in the second image seen as if thrown upon the paper. The church tower in the picture now ap- pears on the same side of the edifice as in the drawing copied. In this process the partition should be of plate glass, which would give no distortion but common glass will do for approx- imate outline, to be corrected after- ward by comparison. PROBLEM IN FISH. How Did the Nile Species Get Into the Jordan? It has been for some time known that certain fishes of the Nile and East African rivers live in,tbe Jordan and sea of Galilee, says the London Standard. Such facts are not easily explained, for these are not fishes that can fly or travel over land. The sur- vival of these old world forms may perhaps be accounted for by remem- bering that in all probability Africa is a very ancient .continent. It has no doubt experienced some changes. The sea may have had access to the basin of Tanganyika, and a considerable por- tion of the north may have been sub- merged since the chalk of our English downs was deposited. Still, even In those days, a very large mass of land must have been above water. The singular paths followed' by the great African streams—the Orange river go- ing one way, the Zambezi another, the Kongo and the Niger each sweeping over so great an area in strange and gigantic curies—seem to suggest that in remote ages the continent was built up by the gradual shallowing of the sea- beds between large insular masses of laud. The presence of theses fishes In the Jordan and the upper Nile—and it is by no means the only piece of evi- dence pointing in the same direction— shows that these two rivers must once have been either confluent or in easy communication by the instrumentality, of other streams. How that could come to pass, as Dr. Gregory shows in his book on the Great Rift valley, is not easily settled. Probably when it occurred there was no Dead sea, but the Jordan flowed in- to the gulf of Akaliah, and perhaps even the Red sea may have been dry land. That for a time this sea and the Mediterranean were in commrnication and Africa was an island is certain, so an upward movement may in its turn have brought about an opposite re- sult. How the Earth Grows. The earth is growing heavier at the average rate of 500 tons a year. The meteors, or shooting stars, in passing through the earth's atmosphere are burned up and fall on to the earth's surface, occasionally in a heavy mass, but most usually in small meteoric dust. Professor Nordenskjold, from his great experience, estimated that from the cause named 500 tons fall uni- formly and steadily over the whole globe in each year, and _the observa- tions of Russian scientists yield a stmt. ' lar result. These meteoric streams, says another ; astronomer, ate really small planetary ' bodies, revolving around the sun in fixed orbits by the force of gravity. The earth revolves on its axis at the rate ,of 1,000 miles an hour and speeds -through space In its orbit around the sun at the rate of 1,000 miles every minute and in August and November plunges into the very opposite direc- tion. The rapidity with which they enter our atmosphere and the friction thus generated are so enormous that they are set fire to, the smaller ones being consumed and falling in dust, while the larger ones occasionally reach the ea: In the shape of meteoric stone or iron.—Answers. Getting Up Speed. A novel expedient is being tried to shorten tate running time of trains on th, Mimi London railway, says the New York Tribune. This road has 1.2 or 13 stations and a length of 61/2 miles. The track of the Central London is not laid altogether level. Just before reach- ing a station it rises 1.66 feet to a hun- dred and immediately after leaving It descends ev snore rapidly for a short distance,th ata le then being 3.3 per cent. The object of this plan is to stop a train more quickly when it is ar- riving and hasten its departure when it moves onward again. It has often been observed that trains on the elevated road in this city waste more time in slowing down and get- ting up speed again than they spend with open gates. A train may remain motionless only six or eight seconds, but the loss of time from the other causes is two or three times as great By accelerating both stoppage and start a saving of ten seconds might be made. Thrf repeated a dozen times would make a difference of two min- utes in the total run. The advantage secured by the expedient employed in London is apart from and additional to the use of electric motors, which en- able a train to develop full speed soon- er than steam does. What a Plant Bats. So far as is known, the first botan- ical experiment ever performed was conducted by a Dutchman. He placed in a pot 200 pounds of dried earth, and in it he planted a willow branch which weighed five pounds. He kept the bole covered up and daily watered the earth with rainwater. After five years' growth the willow was again weighed, and was found to.have gain- ed 164 pounds. The earth in the pot was dried and weighed and bad lost only two ounces. The experimentalist, therefore, look ed upon this experiment as supporting . the theory that plants required no food but water. But he was wrong. Later it was discovered that much of the increase in weight of plants was de- rived from carbonic acid gha in the air. !1 merable are the illusions and; A conscientious person should be- legerdemain tricks of custom, but of all ware of getting into a passion, for er- these perhaps the cleverest is her cry sharp word one speaks lodgts In knack of persuading us that the mirae- one's own heart, and such siigera hurt nlous by simple repetition ceases to be as worse than any one else. miraculous.

A few weeks -ago - a ,gentleman - in this town wanted a new suit of clothes, tailor made. As there is no tailor in Claremont, he came up to The News office and asked to look at The Kasson Republican to ascertain if there was a tailor shop at that place, being desirous, of patronizing some business house in the county. Not finding any tailor advertised he came to the conclusion that there was none at Kasson, or that if there was one he did not carry mach of a stock to select from. He then looked through an Owatonna paper, saw a tailor who advertised, went to that Apiece and ordered a $27 suit. He found afterward that there was a tailor at Kasson, but not knowing it at that time *he did not care to waste time in going there on an un- certainty.

The annual publication of the North- ern Pacific Railway for 1900 should be in the hands of every school teacher and every one interested in his country's history. It contains a large amount of historic information about the northwest, brought down to the present and easily understood. The principal chapter relates to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and its partial exploration in 1804-6 by Lewis and Clark. This was the greatest exploration ever attempted by the United States, and the story of the expedition's adventures on rivers, among Indians, and in the moun- tains outflctioni fiction. The Story of a Railway is a recital of the difficulties attending the building of the Northern Pacific across mountains and plains and its ultimate success, and is in itself an epitomi ed history of the nor:hwest. The Geysers of Yellowstone Park are not, as some think. losing their power. In 1899 the greatest geyser, with one ex- ception, ever known in the park burst forth, and one of its eruptions is described in this book. The antics and habits of the park bears, so interesting to tourists. are also detailed. Another chapter describes two delight- ful mountain resorts in Montana and Northern California. The value of this publication as a supplementary text book will 'be seen at a glance by any teacher or parent. The book is for popular and general use and will be sent to any cae sending six cents, by Chas. S. Fee, Stol, Minn. She was a bright and well educated girl, knew how to cook well and keep house, and could make her own dres- ses. Her matrimonial fate came not as prince or dude or rich elderly widower, but as a stalwart, hardhaud- ed young farmer. Her girl friends made fun of him, and joked her about having to feed the pigs and milk the cows and all that. She married him just the same about a year ago, and we saw ger the other day, just as dainty, refined, and lady -like as when she lived in the city. I asked how she liked life on the farm, she said she was very happy and enjoyed it; that there was such a sense of independ- ence about farm life; they are not fretting that by some turn of the times of the political wheel her hus- band would lose his place; that society was snore sincere in the coun- try and freer from the duplicities and shams of town life. She said that she could not see that her work in the farm home was any more burden- some than that of the wife and moth- er imtbe city, where the incomes were equal. Her -friends have quit joking and pitying her, and some of them are casting longing eyes countryward. -Winona Independent. The State of Washington is known as the evergreen state because of its vast forests. Outside of the lim- ited areas of big trees in California, there are no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, etc., as are found , here. The trees are long and straight, and the massive timbers and fine shingles made from them are shipped all over the world. Washington fruit is a product of great value. Its flavor and color are unsur- passed. East of the Cascade Mountains theclimate is dry and warm and irrigation is necessary. This makes the farmer in- dependent of rain. West of the moun- tains irrigation is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for all purposes. Can- neries and fruit drying establishments can be operated profitably in this state. Grain. hops, and alfalfa are very profit- able crops. and beet sugar is rapidly making headway. Washington is -a coming empire. Brains are in demand in all professions, and labor is wanted and is paid remuner- ative prices. Fuel, coal as well as wood. is abundant and cheap. Schools and churches abound, the state is well sup- plied with railways. ' Varied altitudes and climates .render this country a desirable place of residence. and all can be suited.

Some Clays ago his three year old daughter swal- lowed a one cent piece, much to the consternation of the feminine portion of the family and the embarrassment of Elmer's exchequer. But a consul- tation with the- family physician soothed their troubled spirits, and the reappearance of the coin was looked for - with much interest. Lo, when it did appear the interest had doubled the investment, for the mother found two, cents instead of the one of which they already knew. Elmer t says that one hundred per cent in four ,til lys' time beats real estate, farming, or anything else, and he is seriously contemplating trying the experiment with a Ave dollar gold; piece. -Farmington. Tribune. O. S. Taylor, of Castle Rock, says he has a calf and a toad on his farm that appear to have formed a part- nership. As soon as the ealf dis- poses of his breakfast it lies down, and the toad immediately hops on his hack and travels back and forth in search.Df flies, which it finds and swal- ows in large numbers. This is kept up nearly all day, simply allowing the calf sufficient time to dispose of its meals. The partnership appears to work well, the toad finding good forage on the calf's back and the calf being relieved from fighting flies. - Northfield Independent. 65,530 Versions of Jake and Jill?

G. F. Barra, Agent. Hanle, to Say No Than Yes. He was a most worthy young man, with a fondness Lor discussing socio- logical and moral questions,®ana once started on his hobby he could scarcely be beaded in any other direction. He had been quite devoted in his attention to one young woman for as much as six months, but she had been unable to brigg him to his senses, though she was willing to confess that she had tried repeatedly to do so- Of course she had done it in the delicate ways women _ have in those matters, but what he needed was a club. Not a great while ago he was calling as usual, and as usual he was neglect- ing sentiment for something that only made a girl tired. This time he was moralizing on the temptations of life and the proneness of people to yield without making the proper effort against them in whatever form they might appear. - "However," he said in conclusion, displaying a commendable spirit of charity for the weak, "it is a very diffi- cult thing for any one to say 'No.' " Here was an unexpected chance for her. "And conversely," she responded slowly so he could get the full force of It, "It should be very easy for one to toy 'Yes.' " He looked her straight In the eyes at Wet, and a hush fell -upon the scene. "Um-er-um," he hesitated, "Miss Kate, am I a chump?' It 1s very difficult for one to say 'NU," she said with a pretty little smile, and later she found it quite easy to say "Yes," -Washington Star. His Genial Reception. General Starr, a gallant old soldier, had an irrepressible dislike for young lieutenants fresh from West Point. In 1874 General Starr was in command at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with`tlie message that Lieutenant Morrison, just from West Point, was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty. In response to this message the old general was starting for his office, when his wife, a motherly old soul, plucked him by the sleeve and said, "Now, general, promise me that yon won't be rough with that young man." "Rough?" said the old man, smiling amiably upon his matrimonial com- panion. "Why, I'll be peaches and cream unless the young dog riles me." Reaching his office, the general *as confronted with a dapper little fellow as spick and span as though he had Just come from the hands of his barber and tailor, while he had the half super- cilious air that seems inseparable from the first stages of military education. Looking the young 'lieutenant over for half a moment, the old general mild with great dignity: "How do you do, Mr. Morrison. I am pleased to see you." Then as a flush gradually mount- ed over his weather beaten features he added: "I am always glad to see you young men from the Military academy. You -you -(here the general ended with a roar) you think yourself so hanged smart!" -Kansas City Journal. Tired Metals. It is a fact of comparatively recent discovery in chemical metallurgy that metals lose their vitality from repeti- tions of shocks and strains and may be said, as the expression is, to suffer from fatigue -that is, they may be worked till their molecules fall to hold together. As is familiarly known, bars of tin, rods of brass and wires of any metal will separate owing to fatigue If bent backward and forward continuously. But by careful experiments, however, the fact is made to appear that a rem- edy exists for this condition of metals it the overstrain does not border on rupture, and this remedy is very much like that which is applied in the case of an overw(.ked human frame - namely, rest. Featheredged tools recover their vi- tality better than any other. Of course the length of time required for this rest varies with different metals and the amount of strain to which they have been subjected. Hard metals, such as, iron and steel, use up one and two years' time in the process. On the other hand, soft met- als, like lead, retain their cohesive force longer and also require less rest. -Pearson's Weekly.

Journak DOCTORING IN CHINA. Physicians and Patent Medicines Among the Celestials. There are very many doctors, and their profession is not a sinecure, for if a patient has medicines from a med- ical man he not only wants a quantity, but expects it to change bis condition immediately, and it is nothing uncom- mon to have three or four different doc- tors in course of 24 hours, says a writ- er in The Era,1The medical men, know- ing this, give'them some hot compound that can be. feltsat,once. The superstitionithat pervades every class is one of ',the many things that tend materially tolteep China from ad- vancing rapidly. Every shop has its joss, and the proprietor seeks its ad- vice before deciding any momentous question. And he abides by its deci- sion. I met a very learned gen- tleman, one who is a •graduate of a good college In the Ilnited States, and asked him to accompany me to an in- land village; but, though he wanted to go, he would not make the trip sim- ply 1 " e his joss said it was an in- opp ne time to leave home. They are great on putting up patent medicines, which embrace a line far more varied than any price list any wholesale druggist would show. They do not beat around the bush...when de- scribing what this or that is for. Some- times the complaint is made extra con- spicuous by aid of drawings, and these same sketches are hung on the outer walls, so all can read who pass. In- stead of calling the mixture aftell the name of the maker they simply bane a list of cures. For example, cure of sore eyes, cure of cough, cure of stiff legs, etc. Owing to the fact that the great masses in China have but little means these remedies are put up in very small sizes, retailing for 2% cents. Secrecy In Wireless Telegraphy. The difficulty of sending messages by wireless telegraphy which shall not be legible by the whole world seems to have been solved by a most ingenious device presented by M. Tommast to the Academie des Sciences, says the Pall Mall Gazette. He uses at the sending station not one but two transmitters. One of these transmits the real dis- patch by the usual code, while the oth- er sends only a series of meaningless dots and dashes produced by a me- chanical process. The range of this last transmitter is kept always rather less than the other, so that at the re• ceiving station only the code signals will be received. If, however, an at- tempt be made to intercept the signals by means of a receiver interposed be- tween the sending and receiving sta- tions, both the real message and the meaningless clicks will appear togeth- er, with the result that the messages will be utterly unintelligible- This must be almost as irritating to the would be "tapper" as Lord Wolseley'1s plan of splicing a piece of blind wire (that is, insulating material with no metallic core) at intervals between the posts of an enemy's telegraph. ' He says this is much more effective than the ordinary plan of cutting the wire merely, because in that case when he recovers the line the enemy knows where the break is and has only to re- pair it. By his plan the owner of the line has to test from post to post to dis- cover and eliminate the obstruction. Income of a Sleeping Car. The income or earning capacity of a sleeping car is considerable. Take the run from New York to Chicago, 1,000 miles. Every road in the United States pays 3 cents a mile for the privilege of hauling a sleeper and contracts to re- turn said car in as good shape as it els received and to pay for all damages. The journey on the limited expresses to Chicago5ts made in 24 hours; there- fore the car earns $30 a day for travel. If it is full, which is generally the case, receipts from berths, sections and staterooms amount to $185, making a total revenue of $125 a day. Out of this must come the wages of the por- ter and conductor -the latter, however, usually having charge of several cars - the towels, sheets, soap, ice, etc., the whole amounting to but a small sum. Then there are the wear and tear and general depreciation, the daily clean- ing, the annual refitting and repaint- ing. Set these charges down at 10 per cent and give the car three trips a week of 1,000 miles each, and we have its earnings at over $60,000 annually. Some can earn a great deal more. - Kansas City Journal. Household Brevities.

To Perfume Air Ia Rooms. A French doctor has devised a new method which is quite ingenious and interesting should it work satisfactold- ly. He arranges two papers some- thing on the style of seidlita powders. In the white one is binoxidetof barium saturated with a perfume in a concen- trated form. This should first be en- closed in tin foil or oil paper. In the blue or colored paper is powdered per- manganate of potash in the proper proportions to liberate oxygen when the two powders are nldxed-im a solu- tion. The idea is that the liberated ozone,. or oxygen, will carry and dif- fuse the perfume in the room. ` For disinfecting purposes, if desirable, the 'perfume could be omftlted.-Practics1 Druggist. - . S_ DEFECTIVE PAGE The Head Waiter's "Tips. One of the most expensive rest** rants in New York Ss conducted, so far as its observing patrons can tell, on a unique system of tips. The head wait- er of the room devoted to the use of the men guests makes it a point to be- come acquainted with them, find out their names and becomes genial in the half respectful, half presuming way that so frequently passes for good na- ture among employees of the kind in this country. Naturally he receives liberal fees from his clientele, which is made up of rich men able to pay high prices for the extra service they re- ceive. When there is no financial response of this kind to the waiter's advances, his cordiality diminishes. The waiters under him do, with unusual willing- ness, the head waiter's bidding. Thor are evidently indifferent as to their own success in the matter of fees. It is only the good will of the head waiter that appears to be the goal of all their efforts. Such unselfishness astonishes regular patrons of the restaurant, and one in particular undertook to discover the reason of thilb attitude of the waiters toward their chief. He learned after awhile that the tips the head waiter received were large enough to enable him to give the waiters a part of hta earnings for attending with particular cape to his patrons, who, as a rule, con - fin. their contributions to the head waiter. The guests who fail to take advantage of the head waiter's over- tures to friendliness are not likely to fare well in that restaurant, where the waiters, certain of a fee from the man over them, are indifferent to the guests not included among the list of his pa- trons. -New York Sun. Why Frsisklin Did Not Write It. "It bas always been a curious puzzle why Franklin, the man of ripe age, of commanding distinction and of approv- ed literary skill, was not selected to write the Declaration instead of Thom- as Jefferson, then only 33 years old and comparatively unknown," says John Gilmer Speed in The Saturday Even- ing Post. "It could not be that Frank- lin was passed by because he had done everything in his power to avert the war and reconcile the differences be- tween the colonies and the mother country, for all wise men In the colo- nies did all that honor permitted in that direction until the die was cast. No; It was not a fear of Franklin's ear- nestness in the causd of the colonies. It was probably the fear of Franklin's humor. "He was not only the greatest man of his time, but he was ono of the greatest humorists of any time. And so his associates were possibly afraid that be would put a joke, in the Decla- ration and pared him by and selected the lank young Virginian with the frec- kled face, "As it was, Franklin did have his joke, for when the members of con- gress were about to sign the Declara- tion Hancock, whose earnestness is ex- pressed In the bold signature which comes first, said in his own earnest way: 'We must be unanimous. There must be no pulling different ways. We must all hang together.' r "'Yes; replied Franklin; 'we must bang together, or we shall be pretty sure to hang separately.' " A Divinity Student Rooted. "One day we were traveling across the plains in the caboose of a freight train," writes Rev- Cyrus Townsend Brady of his experiences as "A Mis- sionary In the Great West" in The Ld- dies' Home Journal. "A young divinity student was with us. He was one of the ambitious kind of divinity students who wreck a parish or two when they begin and finally drift upon the eccle- siastical bargain counter. He was ready to argue about anything with anybody. "A greasy, dilapidated looking tramp came into the caboose at one of the stations at the end of a division and presently engaged in a heated discus- sion with the young theologise on the disadvantages of education. Heain- tained the affirmative -that the less a man knew and the less ,education he had the happier he was -with so much skill and adroitness and showed such mastery of logic and literature that he routed the poor boy -horse, foot and dragoons -so effectively that the young man rose and went out on the platform to hide his chagrin,' leaving the sup- posed tramp chuckling over his pipe in huge enjoyment at his easy victory. "The bishop had listened without say- ing a word, and when the student left he turned to the man and inquired sharply, 'What college do you come from, sir? 'Yale!' answered the man without thinking. The unlucky admis- sion destroyed the man's argument, for he was a living example of the fallacy of his own proposition." - Europe's City of Crime. The Italian city of Artena, situated about 40 miles from Rome, is known as the City of Crime. Ever since the six- teenth century every criminal who has escaped from prison or done his time has emigrated to Artena, and today practically every inhabitant is a:crimi- nal or the child of criminals. Every family takes the law into its own hands, and It is reported not a day passes without many murders being committed in the streets. The Italian authorities have now come to look up- on Artena as hopeless and remark that it is far better that criminals should kill criminals than that innocent per- aonsishould be their victims. It is said that on one occasion when 28 murders bad been committed in that city in one day the fact was reported in one of the Italian papers in the following terms: "Since our last issue (24 hours before) there have been 23 sudden deaths in Artena," and no further notice of the murders was taken or expecte!- ' From Sky to Pawnshop.

"It is rather a peculiatr cafe" he be • gan.. I smiled wisely. Every one thinks his case peculiar. Iu reality it gener- ally 'proves unusual only 'to the one a concerned in it. • My book was turned, face down, on the window sill. I was ready to listen but Alyn did not go on at mem He sat quietly gazing Lout of the window across the river. The smile was still on my face as 1 suggested: "This 'peculiar case' certainly has its heroine." "It has a heroine, yes." Alyn's eyes .were so frank as they 'met mine. His gaze had not been s direct nor his fade so clear the las time 1 had seen him. A year's absent from his old associate had certain] been good for him. It was a pleasur to look at him. Just now his expression puzzled me. I could not fathom it, but it invited me to continue. "Have you her photograph with "Yes." He drew out of his breast pocket a small red leather case and,'•opening it, heeded it to me. It needed but one glance at the painted oval to make me exclaim impetuously: ''You love her. No one could doubt that an instant." • Such a picture! A dainty little head covered with short, curling hair; a deli-- eate, loving, teasing face; d lk, full, bewitching eyes. The throat wets bare, and an ,indistinct mass of white gauze ended the portrait. >►• "You must love her." i spoke with conviction. ' "I do," returned Alyn -"most sincere- ly." Still his expression puzzled nide' An inscrutable smile played over his Race, but he delayed beginning the story 1 -ie had volunteered to tell. "And she?" I hesitated over the in- quiry remembering what manner of man it was who had gone from us a year ago. A gentle expression passed over Alyn's face. "I think she is fond of me," be re- ) plied simply. I. stretched out my .Ifand and Alyn grasped it warmly. "I do believe," he said earnestly, "that if ever a man was fortunate that man is I. Will you•care to listen? I used to tali you things ( when I was a boy," he added apologetically. I picked up my sowing, always lying ready against such times as this, and leaned back in my rocker. ' Alyn reached for the picture. Ile leaned his head on one hand and. his elbow on the table. In the other hand ,be hehrthe case where his eyes'could rest on the face. His own face be- came grave. - "It was a year ago. One night -or morning, rather -I landed on the ferry foethe way to my lodgings. I couldn't get a street car or a cab. In fact, I was too drunk to think of either, so 1 stumbled along just keeping. straight enough to escape the police. In front of my lodgings is an electric light A slight fall of snow had whitened the pavement and made distinct this case beneath the light. I had just strength and sense enough left to pick it up, tumble up the stairs and stretch myself out on my couch." Alyn snapped the case shut and paused a moment. "Some time the next day I awoke and'the first thing that attracted my attention was this -open on the floor and her eyes looking up at me -me in that condition." An expression of disgust good to see came over the man's face. "I quickly shut the case and put my - Self and my room in order. Then I sat down and studied her." Still absorbed in his narrative, Alyn opened the case again and dropped his eyes on the photograph. "I told you this was a peculiar case, ant} you will think, I fear, that I am a peculiar man. But the more I looked at her the more I wanted to look. I never parted with the miniature. I carried it around in my pocket and thought and thought about her until she became a living presence to me; a beautiful woman always with me. I became absentminded. The fellows Ow8 complained, but I came to have an en- gagement always when they wanted me. My engagement was with this - the lady of the miniature. I had lost 'ley heart to her. About the original of the photograph I reasoned this way: She would not be carrying her own miniature arou$d in all probability. . It nust have been lost by a friend, and probably -here was the hard part of it all -by her lover. If I advertised it, he would claim it, and I should not meet her. "I didn'n advertise. I slid something ?Sr more ',rational. , I snent my spare 9 0 t e y e lours searching. I visited stores and Is-alked the streets. I haunted the rose knee part of, the city. I went to the opera. and scanned the boxes rather - Ian the stage. Needless to say, I did not find her yet I never lost hope. I reit I must find her and look at her. 1 felt this afresh every time I opened this case. I would not give up the search. When I -had exhausted every resource of my own, I did something which I had shrunk from doing before; 1 haunted out the best detective in the pity and told him to spare neither time nor money in finding her. - "Within two weeks I received a note from him. He was obliged leave the town suddenly: He w'. • some- thing like this,: f "'I've found her at 320 ' titer avenue. Imogene Munroe. Will give You par- ticulars when I return tomorrow. She Is anxious to recover the miniature.' "Bute! could not await the next day, and sale -no reason why it would be necessary. I had the photograph and would take it to her. Because of it I should insure ]myself a reception at least. "I went -to 320 Water avenue that evening. It is an elegant residence in perfect keeping with the case and face. I had scribbled on my card, 'The finder • of the miniature.'Tile maid who.ad- witted me said that Miss Munroe was at bonne. She took the card and left me in the reception room: If was one of the most -what shall I call it? -de- licious rooms I was ever in. One side was lined with deep windows draped in soft, dainty curtains and filled with plants and flowers. The air was heavy with the scent of roses. "I stood before one of the windows looking at the blossoms eteheri she came. Site came so quietly and gently 'that I did not hear her. It ;was' only when the sweetest, lowest, clearest voice I had Icer heard said, 'At last I tun to have my miniature, that I knew she was in the room. I confess I trem- bled as I turned and took the band of" -<•- Alyn stopped and smiled- It was.a half sad, half amused, wifely in- scrutable smile. My sewing had fallen into my lap. and I leaned forward lis- tening breathlessly. "The hand of the original of the pic- ture. These eyes, this mouth, this del- icate complexion, this same soft curl- ing hair. I was looking on it all, the same but" - Alyn raised his eyes. The amuse- ment had faded away. - "The hair was snowy white, and the skin was wrinkled. Hers was indeed the face of the miniature, the face of 50 years -ago. My foolish fancy was destroyed, but in- its place came the sweetest little whit haired lady that man was ever prlcil ged to call friend. And this miniature! • Some way 1 had a strange reluctance to part with -it, and so hete`it is with me now. That is all," concluded Alyn abruptly. "That is enough," I said quietly. ,`, think that face bas stood between yo and" - Alyn broke in hastily: "Oh, that is nothing. I couldn't Bar- ry this," holding, up the Photograph, "into such places as I had been fre- quenting, and so-ewell, it's all right." Alyn buttoned up his coat and smiled at me frankly as lie went out by way of the office door. The doctor has always said there was the making of a man in 'that boy. -St. Louis Star. The Shortness of Lite. What always strikes one so foe ..,.;' is, I think, the shortness of Itee : e life, compared with other works of nature. The longest life -how shaft it is! Aad half of it one can -hardly eta life, pe/ng spent in sleep, which is not real existence. • A French preacher I 'heard once brought the shortness of life strongly before me by relating in. his sermon bow a saint, in olden days, wishing to impress on himself the rapidity of life's race, when he came to years of dis- cretion, placed 80 marbles in a glass jar, each marble to -represent a year of human life, taking 80 years as an out- side limit very far .exceeding that. Then, taking another glass jar, from the first one he took the number of • marbles repj eesenting the years he had already paced, and placed them in the empty jar, and -then yeae by year ex- tracted a marble from the other, till, more rapidly than he could have dreamed, - the two jars contained 40 marbles each. Then still more swiftly did each year seem to speed away, and ' what had so short a time•before been - the full jar became the nearly empty one, till three, two and then only one marble remained,. and life, which had looked so longat starting, had swiftly and silently melted away. -C. De la Warr. A Grotesque Creature. The Maori is not strictly beAutiful, but he is valiant and, let us trust, good. As for his better half, in her native dress, with tattooed lips and chin and long, single eardrop of greenstone and with an appropriate background of tree fern or ti tree scrub, she is savage and not unpleasing.

The Piscatoria revaricators' asso elation was in session. "I was fishing for cod off the Banks one day some years ago," said one "when I dropped my watch overboard. The next. year I went fishing at thio :Ante place. I caught a whopping big fellow and email my watch' !aside of him. It was running steadily, the ac- tion of the fish's liver having kept it wound up. But it was five hours fast. The enly way that I can account for it is that the fish 'crossed the Atlantic, staid on the other side - long enough to get the time over there, and that I caught him too sl5on after he got back to allow the watch to regulate itself." "I was fishing for trout In Penns,lil- vania last fall," said another member, "in company with my nephew, who Is an inveterate cigarette smoker.

This sort of furniture does not require much finish but on the eon- trary looks all the better for certain . roughness. It may be rubbed with oil or very tightly varnished. The pieces, with few exceptions. are pht together at • right angles. They can be'sawed out of plain stuff and, if properly planed, can be rubbed as s`ag- gested above or strltined in some color that will harutfonize with the surround- ing furnishings. Ornamental hinges, lock plates, etc., ' can be procured very cheaply or can be sawed out of sheet brass' of suffi- cient thickness and when polished or painted to dead black can be mounted on rniture with scl'ews. Artistic -, taste can very readily flnish and dec orate any piece of furniture designed without much assistance. The first illustration is a .suggestion_ for the treatment of a long wall space, possibly between two doors in a large room.

Altogether, this makes a pleasing piece of furniture.

The ingenious housekeep- er may find them- useful only as hints on which i base an invention of her own and betteradapted to the archi- tecture of her own home.

Dress is Picturesque, quaint and Be- coming—The Sleeve to Be the Fea- ture of Future Models—Lace and Velvet Ribbon to the Fore. Dainty muslins, dimities, homespuns and the ever useful shirt wait now enjoy the heyday of their etence. The style of the hour 'tends ever more and more toward picturesqueness -- large shady hat , laden with roses, which later vtril yield to the fruits of FROG$ wlTn SCALLOPED SLEEVES, autumn fn due season; quaint and be- coming flatus, of which any nuinber 'may safely be acquired for the autumn, and flowery muslins delight the eyes. The sleeve almost monopolizes the ingenuity of the modistes; it is to this feature of the costume that we look for novelties, and it is the promise that the elaboration of the sleeve will be the{' distinguishing mark of the autumn fashions. The first cut exhibits one of the summer fancies in this direction. It shows a very swell seaside gown of mignonette batiste, with groups of flowers printed on it.

The af- fair was between M. Marigny, who be- longed to one of the oldest families of Louisiana, and a Mr. Humble, a sturdy ex -blacksmith of Georgia, who had be- come a man of political Consequence. M. Marigny took offense at some re- marks of the Georgie and sent him a challenge. The big ex -blacksmith was nonplused. "I know nothing about this dueling business,' 'lie said. "I will not fight him." "You must," said his friend. "No gentleman can refuse." "I am not a gentleman," replied the honest son of Georgia. "I am only a, blacksmith." "But you will be alined if you do not fight," urged his friends. "You will have the choice of weapons, and you can choose so as to give. yourself an equal chance with your adversary." The giant asked time in which to consider the question and ended by ac- cepting. He sent the following reply to 111. Marigny: "I accept, and'in the exercise of my i1eeI stipulate g ..that the duel shall take place in Lake Pontchartrain, in six feet of water, sledge hammers to be used as weapons." M. Marigny was about five feet, eight inches in height, and his adversary was seven feet. The conceit of the Georgian so pleased M. Marigny, who could a ea joke a as we Il 55n er- petrate one, that he declared himself satisfied, - and the duel did not take place. Some Queer Definitions.

He has his piano so trained that the doggone thing will keep right on playing when he is not touching it.

As a little girl Mary Esther Lea play- ed among the flour barrels aild currant boxes of her father's grocery store on Front street. New York. But that was many years ago. Now the little girl is a white haired .anti regal lady, with the title of princess. More than that, she it is who is the power behind the Ger- man throne, who is known as the "fe- male Bismarck" and who, it is believ- 1 r11_ ,r 44610-. CODNTESS wALDERSES;! al, brought about the kaiser's mar - tinge. Iler title is Princess von Noer, and she is a powerful influence in the great palace at Berlin. Her history is most interesting and unusual. Her father left Connecticut in 1810 and began a small grocery busi- ness in New York. Though he was financially successful, when he died in 1M-,3 he left but a very small fortune to his family. Mrs. Lea, unable to afford the xpensive living in New York, bun- dled up- -her little family and went to Stuttgart. Here the eldest daughter married Baton von Waechter. He soon became embassadof from Wurtemberg to Paris, and in due course of time Mrs. Lea and her other daughters found themselves in the social set of sh the great French capital. Other 1.11 - portant marriages came about. Mary Esther. the youngest girl, found a fast and affectionate friend in Princess Louise of Sleswick-Holstein. Through her she formed the acquaint- ance of the father of the princess, an old widower, who immediately fell des- perately in love with the beautiful and bright little American girl. To com- pensate for marrying tb aughter of a grocer the prince gave u$his title and accepted the simples designation of Count von Noer, which was given to him by the Austrian emperor. The groom was 6-1 years old, the bride 24. Six months later the venerable hus- bdnd died. and his rich and youthful widow settled down in Vienna. There she won the esteem of the Austrian emperor, and be created her princess of Noer in her own right. A few years after being made a princess the one time daughter of a grocer met Count von Waldersee. A marriage between them .took place in 1866. These two brilliant and tactful people went to Berlin, and in a few months the countess was a social power. Her particular ambition was to mar- ry her grandniece by her first mar- riage, Princess Augusta Victoria of Sleswick-Holstein, to Prince William of Prussia, the present emperor of Ger- many. The other of the prince raised great objectio s, but the Princess von Noer was per intent and tactful and planning, and the wedding was cele- bJitted. Prin William and his bride were both de ted to the one who help- ed along the rough way of their court- ship, and their gratitude has been un- ceasing.. When Princess Augusta Vic- toria became empress, she was more than ever under the sway of her Amer- ican aunt.—Boston Herafd. What Two Women Saw. There is a man in this town who is marveling over the long range and the sharp range of feminine eyesight. His surprise is due to a little incident be witnessed the other afternoon. Two women boarded the open trolley in whicb be rode and took a seat di- rectly in front of him. One was fat and spoke in a soft gurgle. The other was thin, nervous and sharp voiced. Having finished reading his paper, the man noted these things in that idle, trivial spirit which seems to possess the average trolley rider. Presently as the car whizzed along he saw the two women turn quickly, Pod vigorously toward the sidewalk and hall some one there with an eager F'How do you do?" The car went buzzing by so fast that although the man glanced involuntari- ly in the same direction he caught only a, flitting vision of pink clad girlhood escorted by a something in trousers. But in that sixteenth of a second the two women in front saw! The man la wondering yet how they managed I. '+Was that the young fellow Marie is engaged to?" asked the fat woman of her companion. "Yes; John 'Blank's son. Fine look- ing, isn't he?" "Well, 1 never saw him before, but be struck ine as being too thin and gewkv. But that sort of hat makes a man appear like an overgrown scnooi- boy. Marie looked as though she thought he was pie. "I should say she did. By the way, how that girl has improved." "Yes; she looked better today than I've ever seen her. A new dress does so much for a woman." "Why, that wasn't a new dress. That was the pink organdie she wore so much last summer.- Don't you remem- ber it?" "Was it really? It looked different to me somehow. Hasn't she changed it a little?" "Yes. I noticed she had put in a tucked yoke and sleeves." "It fitted her well, but I thought the deep shade of pink about her throat was rather trying." "Well, Marie never had much color, you know, and a pink hat does bring out the yellow 1n a woman's skin." "But those French roses on that Tus- can straw were exquisite. She never got those fe a penny." "I should say not. She's an extrava- gant creature. As she held up her skirt I saw she wore a new taffeta under - slip, and her petticoats were simply, lace cobwebs. Ruffles and rubles"— The elan in the 3kar blinked his eyes. What sort of X ray penetration be- longed to that sex anyway?—Dorothy Maddox in Philadelphia Inquirer. remarked serenely, 'Well it is some- thing to be thankful for in a case like this that you haven't much to lose,' and sat herself,,riown in composure to await results. Still another, the wife of a prominent army officer In the Phil- ippines, ran from window to window and door to door, holding a cold curling iron tightly fastened to her hair. A fourth, a Berkeley, girl, spending her vacation in Prescott, packed her trunks and dragged the family carriage to the door, the horse having escaped in the excitement. She declared her intention of flllIg it with the family valuables and Atting herself between the shafts to 'tote' the things to a place of safety. A neighbor. a young Married woman, gathered up her bird and a pet chicken, but renounced all allegiance to her trousseau and her valuable wedding gifts. Another carefully packed into a handbag some embroideries she was doing and never thought of her dia- d monds, worth hundreds of dollars. "The climax was reached, however, when a large woman still in the gar- ments of the night appeared upon the streets pushing before her a baby cart in which she bad entirely forgotten to put the baby. "A lusty howling from the abandon- ed infant recalled her to her senses, and the gocart was reversed." Needs No Chaperon, The well bred summer girl has re- belled against the chaperon, as she does not consider her presence a neces- sity or a compliment to herself and her friends, says the New York Ilerald One of the reasons given by theim- mer girl for dispensing with the time honored custom is that she no longer indulges in the same dangerous pas- times as did her sisters of years gone by. For instance, she does not accept invitations to sail in the moonlight un- less she is one of a party comprising married and unmarried people in abun- dance. Nor does she wander along the beach after a dance in the ballroom, because the dampness is liable to ruin her gown and give her a severe cold. She no longer deprives her mother or her mother's friends of her society and is as frequently seen in their company as with the masculine element. She never attends a hop at a neighboring hotel alone, because if her family is composed of cottage holders they are sure to receive invitations for the ball, and so it is quite natural that the en- tire party should go together. If by chance the summer girl is at a hotel, she seldom shows her preference for other hotels by accepting invitations for dances at them. This year's summer girl is not one bit affected. She does not seek to collect engagement rings. Her natural pride revolts against the idea of allowing complications to arise by engaging,her- self to a man whom she has not known for years or of giving him a right to as- sume a familiar attitude toward her and to call her by her first name. She has this summer made it clear to all that she has a brain and will not al- low it to become inert by submitting to things or customs of which she does not approve. Some are calling her prudish because of this new reserve, but it brings her more respect and therefore more admiration and demon- strates her cleverness. Social Functions For Women. "S— Beach seems an ideal place for children and young people," remarked a society woman who was discussing the merits of several watering places with a view to renting a house for the summer, "but what is there 'for the married woman to do?" "Oh, my dear," exclaimed her friend, who was a resident of the place, "we have the most delightful times. We dine out at each others houses every night, wear our best clothes and after- ward play bridge whist. I hear people say we are the best dressed lot of wo- men anywhere. Even at Newport they , do not wear better clothes." "But what do the husbands do?" said the old fashioned wife in astonishment at the new order of things. "Surely they are not all away at business dur- ing the summer?" "Oh, you know, they wouldn't enjoy it," returned the other. "Men hate din -1 ners in summer, and besides it is much nicer to be by ourselves. I believe' they are getting up a club calied the married men's club. They say it is in self defense, but teat is all nonsense. They like to be tog ther just as we like to be to8ether." The tendency of women to give social functions exclusively for their own sex is certainly on the increase. Women's luncheons have always bren popular, but it is only of late years that evening entgstainments composed exclusively of women have obtained vogue. Now, however, women's dinners and card parties are an accepted fact and are even more frequently given than men's i affairs of the same kind. Moreover, as it bas always been an undisputed ax- lom that women dress for one another much more than for- men the gowns worn at these assemblages are smart, and in consequence the latter are ex -1 ceedingly brilliant. Women's golf tour- naments have also brought this feature 'of the social life of our day into great prominence. In aimest, every commu- nity the golf club represents the best society of the place, and at a women's tournament the entertaining is neces- sarily almost entirely - for women. House parties are given for those who have entered for the tournament, and lners and luncheons are given in it honor. "'hat did we do?" answered a young woman who had been one of a Large party of girls at a well known country house during a tournament. "Why, it was just the same ea at other house parties, only there were no men except our host. We had lovely 5 o'clock teas at which we wore our pret- tiest tea gowns and had delicious things to eat. Such a rest after our arduous days! We bad late dinners, too, at which we wore low necked gowns in the usual conventional man- ner. Of course we all went to bed ear- ly, as we were all pretty tired, but oth- erwise it was just the same as any oth- er party except, as I said before, there were no men. No great loss either, as we all agreed."—New York Tribune. The Baling Passion. "It is a laughable thing after the fright is all over," writes a woman from Prescott, A. T., "to recall how differently different women are affect- -ed in an extremity or, in other words, how the 'ruling passion shows itself,' if not in 'death' at least in a good scare. It was last Saturday, when the great fire came that swept away the whole business part of the city and the cen- tral residential portion in a single night. We were several blocks away from the fire and on the hill, so we could look right down over the burning district. When about midnight the wind sprang up and the games began to sweep pp the hill, every one in our vicinity began to pack his or her trunk and tie up bundles ready for a hurried exit to the golf links just beyond. One woman, having put on two of her beat dresses, one over the other, both hav- ing trains and a frou frou of lace, cap- ped them with a heavy fur cape of which she was especially fond, al- though the mercury was standing well over the nineties. Adorned in this fashion, she began with infinite .-vigor to pump water and drag about boxes, bundles and trunks, the perspiration meanwhile rolling down her face in streams.

In an able article on higher education for women in The Woman's Home Companion Louise Castle Walbridge thus arraigns our present collegiate in- struction for women: "Does coeducation accomplish the best results for a girl? Is her work identical with man's? Are the feminine and masculine natures the same? .If not, isn't there a suspicion of folly in spending the important preparatory years pursuing the same studies de- manded by man's work? Wouldn't it be just as reasonable to teach a boy cooking and sewing and nursing and expect him to make a full fledged law- yer or blacksmith as to instruct a girl in surveying and mechanics and phys- ics and then expect her to blossom into a thrifty, notable housewife and house mother? The 'new woman' may fight against her obvious destiny with all' her acquired masculinity, but she can- not alter the purpose of her creation, and woman will go down to the end of time as wife and mother, and 1t is for this her education should prepare her. An unfortunate number of our girls marry and try to rear families with the uses of the needle as unknown to them as it was to one of the aborigines. There have been schools where fine needlework was taught, and might it not be profltabie if our up to date insti- tutions would discard such superflui- ties as metaphysics and theoretical ethics and substitute instruction in this essentially feminine and eminently useful employment before it becomes a lost art? Cooking schools have been popular for several years and why not practicable and sensible to include some knowledge of the culinary art in a girl's education?

AO po0o0o000o00,04'04,00000000ov A problem of increasing perplexity to the railroads of this country is the question of the tie supply, says the New York Sun. In some places it has already become serious. The main sources of supply are far removed from the near neighborhood of railroads. It was not long ago that the railroads were concerning themselves mainly about the question of the price of ties, but of recent years therehas been anx- iety lest they should be unable to pro- . cure enough for their purpose at any price. All sorts of more or less expen- sive experiments with ties have been tried, with as yet but little or no suc- cess. The most that has been done is probably in the direction of adapting means of prolonging dine life of the in- dividual tie. (There are a great many clever railroad men and practical chemists engaged in the work of inven- tion, and the man who discovers some compound that may be cheaply manu- factured and will serve the purpose is sure to make an enormous fortune. Not only would such an invention re- lieve the anxiety regarding the source of the.tie supply, but it would materi- ally reduce the cost of traek Making. There is nearly a ton of steel in every 30 feet of standard single track rail- road, but the cost of ties in the same distance is even greater than that of the metal. A railroad such as any of the big trunk lines running into New York has to buy ties by the hundreds of tbousands each year, and the order to stop buying never goes out of the of- fice. They want all they can get, and a man with a steamer load of ties in the port of New York would have almost as ready a market as if it were loaded with gold. Nothing has ever been found that will successfully take the place of the hand hewn tie of young, growing timber, and at the present rate the demand for ties actually threatens the extinction of the forests of America. Only a few figures are necessary to demonstrate that this is not an exag- gerated view of the situation. A new' mile of standard single track railroad, without taking into consideration the switch tracks and sine tracks, requires about 4,500 ties. The average life of a railroad tie is about five years, so that in ten years a railroad will use ties at the rate ofbout 9,000 for every mile of track. This means that each and every year tine Pennsylvania Railroad company requires 2.500,000 ties for that part of their system east of Pitts- burg, that the New York Central re- quires nearly 2,700,000 between New York and Buffalo and that the Erie railroad requires in the neighborhood of 2,000,000 every year between Jersey City and Salamanca. These are figures that 'any one may easily verify. It is no wonder that thoughtful railroad men are asking themselves the ques- tion where the supply is coming from in 100 years or 50 or perhaps in 30. It is estimated that under the best possi- ble circumstances and making no al- lowance for fire and other accidents it would require a plot of ground 2,000 acres in extent to grow 1,000,000 rail- road ties, and it would require fully 30 years to develop them. • In America lumbering has always been a more or less haphazard busi- ness. The pioneers found unbroken forests of matured trees, and in time they simply devastated them. Their successors seized upon the parts which offered inducements for settlement on account of the agricultural possibili- ties, and upon the remainder was al- lowed to grow a tangle of brush which was conquered in time by the trees of sturdier and more tenacious growth. As often as these trees attained a mar- ketable size and the demand for mate- rial for hundreds of new and growing towns and cities was felt the forests were again invaded and again given over to nature's undisputed process of healing. But nature was never or at least very rarely trained or aided in her selection of things useful for man. In those countries where the things of nature and those of civilization were on a more equal basis these matters were looked after more wisely, and in Germany, for example, forestry has long been a serious profession and a profitable science. Anaesthesia by a New Method. At a recent meeting of the Paris Academy of Medicine Dr. Tuffler gave an account of three surgical operations which he had conducted. One was an amputation of the leg, another the re- moval of a kidney, and the third was laparotomy. In all three cases he had operated afte=r securing anaesthesia by injecting one centigramme of chlorhy- drate of cocaine into the canal of the spinal column. Acting to the marrow and not on the brain, the cocaine pro- duced absolute ansesthesia, and the pa- tient submitted without the usual ex- haustion incident to the use of chloro- form to an operation of which- he had no consciousness whatever, although his mental activity does not appear to have been interrupted. The transmis- sion of sensation to the brain was in- terrupted. That was all In order to spare the patient the sight of blood and thte wound the doctor takes the precau- tion to veil the face. He says that he has tried this method of securing anes- thesia 80 times. It possesses many advantages and no inconveniences that he has been able to discoter.

New Materials—Lounging Costume, Smart Flannel Suits. One of the newest materials for warm weather is sack cloth, gray in color, of a hard weave and exceedingly light in weight. It is good looking and, I believe, wears well, besides be- ing most comfortable for the August days. Pretty materials for trousers to be worn with a dark frock or morning coatsare as a rule not as plentiful as the cloths for sack suits, being confin- ed almost entirely to stripe designs. An excellent combination of colors for a lounge suit is light gray, plain light blue and white. There is a cool- ness about such a costume that is ef- fective, and its simplicity gives it an added smartness. It should be made up in this way: A gray, single breast- ed, flannel sack suit, rather light in shade and either plain or with a sus- picion of the herringbone weave, a soft fronted shirt of solid blue linen of a pale electric shade, a medium height turnover collar, a narrow four-in-hand tie of heavy, plain white linen, having a loose basket weave, somewhat like a white cheviot, which, indeed, might be equally well used, hose of a suitable shade of blue or gray, with a small spot design or a plain clock ,ii white, tan leather belt and tan, low shoes. Flannel suits are of course still the rage. The illustration shows one of `r SINGLE BREASTED FLANNEL stns. gray flannel with a tinge of green and a plaid of green and red, rather in distinctly woven into the ground color. The coat is single breasted, cut square in front, very much as a sack coat is made, with lapels a trifle broader than those of au ordinary single breasted sack jacket, patch pockets, three but- tons in front and three on the sleeves, buttoned through buttonholes, no slits behind or at the sides. The jacket is half lined, the waistcoat single breast- ed, with a collar a little broader in the lapels than is usual, and the trousers those of the ordinary shape, cut straight and fairly full over the thighs. This is perhaps the smartest style for a single breasted, flannel suit, and. though there are of course a great many striped materials which do not bear the stamp of commonness, the plaid is, generally speaking, the more fashionable and exclusive. Thus writes "How" -in Vogue. Fruit Served Cold. Melons of all kinds should be served very cold. This does not mean that ice is to be added after they are opened, as we often find cantaloupes prepared. Such treatment ruins them, drawing out the spiciest and best of their flavor and leaving them well chilled, to be sure, but distinctly watery. Neither does a watermelon need to be plugged and have more or less wine poured in. Keep the melons close to the ice or be- tween two cakes until the last minute. Cantaloupes and muskmelons need on- ly to be halved and the seeds carefully removed without touching the rich, spicy pulp against which they are ly- ing. Watermelons should be divided across the center and each half divided lengthwise into quarters or eighths, or a slice may be taken from each end so that it will stand upright; then cut down from top to bottom or the center scooped out with a spoon. Peaches to be eaten out of hand should first be gone over lightly with a brush to remove the down. If cut, they should not be prepared until the last moment, as the flesh quickly darkens when exposed to the air. The same is true of ripe pears, which are delightful when served sliced and sugared. Simi- lar precautions should be observed in serving nectarines, apricots and plums. Each bunch of grapes should be well rinsed in cold water, then drained on a towel.—Table Talk. Lemon Pies. I have found by experiment, says a Ladies' World correspondent, that the indigestible ingredient in lemon pie is the grated rind. Mostrecipes say, "Take the grated rind of one lemon to the juice of two." The grated rind contains the essen- tial oil, and a very small quantity of this is sufficient for flavoring purposes. My rule is one-half a teaspoonful of the grated rind in enough custard to make two pies. Made in this way -a lemon pie is as wholesome as an apple pie. - The Greenland Berry. Things grow very fast in the short Greeuland summer. As soon as the snow melte off, in many pieces ' the ground is_ covered with a vine which boars a small berry something like a huckleberry. It is nearly tasteless, but juicy, and the natives are fond of it. He Crushed the Hecklers. The man who asks questions and it, - lists on their being answered is a fa- miliar presence at all party meetings. He is known as the heckler. The speak- er is not allowed to disregard him. If a statement is disputed, it is the ora- tor's place to make it good. Any mem- ber of the audience may rise to his feet and shout out a contradiction whenever he feels like it, and by the custom of English public life the speaker is expected to make some re- ply op the epot. Mr. Chamberlain was always a dan- gerous man to cross in debate, but the personal feeling against him was so bitter for years after his withdrawal from the ranks of the separatists that many an unhappy man was driven to tilt against his shield. It was delicious to watch Mr. Chamberlain's handling of the situation. tie would pause when the interruption grew serious and give the heckler a chance to make himself well heard. "Now if you will allow e I will ask that gentleman to get n a chafr that we may all have the asure of seeing him." A dozen anx- us hands would hoist the objector In - unwelcome prominence. "Now, sir,' came the clear, passionless voice, "will you kindly speak up? I should be sorry if any one missed what you have to say." The heckler, now quite unnerved, would stammer out something, and Mr. Chamberlain, listening with a ma- licious smile, would quietly readjust his eyeglass and, turning to the au- dience, fling out a reply—cool, cutting and decisive.—Sydney Brooks in Har - per's Magazine. How Twain Introduced Hawley. "Only once did Mark Twain appear in public as a political speaker," says Will M. Clemens in Ainslee's. "As a conscientious Republican in his politi- cal preferences Mr. Clemens took an active interest in the presidential caht- paign of 1880. While visiting in Elmi- ra, N. Y., in the fall of that year he macIe a short speech one Saturday that, introducing to a Republican meeting General Hawley of Connecti- cut. In the course of his remarks Mr. Clemens said: "'General Hawley is a member of my church at Hartford and the author of "Beautiful Snow." Maybe he will deny that. But I z only here to give him ,,n character from his last place. As a pure citizen I respect him, as a per- sonal friend of years I have the warm- est regard for him, as a neighbor whose vegetable garden adjoins mine, why—why, I watch him._ As the au- thor of "Beautiful Snow" be has added a new pang to winter. He is a square, trtfe man in honest politics, and I must say he occupies a mighty lonesome po- sition. So broad, so bountiful is his character that he never turned a tramp empty handed from his door, abut al- ways gave him a letter of introduction to me. Pure, honest, incorruptible, that Is Joe Hawley. Such a man in politics is like a bottle of perfutuery in a glue factory—it may moderate `the stench. but it does-n't destroy it. I haven't said any more of him than I would say of .myself. Ladies and gentlemen, this is General Hawley.' " When a Kiss Was Valuable. The practice of kissing the hands was instituted by the early Roman rul- ers as a mark of subjection as much as one of respect, and under the first -Cee- sars the enstom was kept up, but only for a time. These worthie(conceived the idea that the proper homage duekto their exalted station called for less fa- miliar modes of obeisance, so the privi- lege of kissing the emperor's hand was reserved s a special mark of conde- scension or distinction for officers of high rank. Roman fathers considered the prac- tice of kissing of so delicate a nature that they never kissed their wives in the presence of their daughters. Then, too, only the nearest relatives were al- lowed to kiss their kindred of the gen- tler sex on the mouth, for in those days, as now, kissing was not a mere arbitrary sign, but it was the sponta- neous language of the affections, espe- cially that of love. Under the Romans if a lover kissed his betrothed before marriage she in- herited half of his wordly goods in the event of his death before the marriage ceremony, and if she died her heritage descended to her nearest relatives.— Frank H. Vizetelly in Woman's Home Companion. Life at 421 Degrees Below Zero. Investigations recently made in Eng% land shoe that the lower forms of life, both animal and vegetable, are capa. ble of existing in the extreme cold of 421 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Al this almost Inconceivable temperature the earth's atmosphere would be fro zen solid. and would incrust the globe to a depth of several feet. Professor Allan Malfayden has just presented his results to the Royal Society of Eng land covering experiments made with bacteria and other germs. The most vigorous varieties of bacteria were se lected and exposed for 20 hours to tits temperature of liquid air 275 degrees below zero. They were thawed out and examined. The experiment yield- ed the startling result that these living organisms wereapparently unchang• ed b) the extreme cold. Actinium, a New Element. Actinium is the name given a new radio -active element of the iron group discovered by A. Debierne in pitch- blende. The substance has now been' sufficiently concentrated to show that its rays have the same effect on barium platinocyanide, photograph plates and a magnetic field as those of radiant and polonium, while it .is evidently distinct from those elements. THE NEW DRESS FABRICS. Cashmere Revived—Velvet to Have Great Vogue—Beautiful Silks, The autumn materials which are be- ginning *to put in an appearance in many cases show a resurrection rather than a novelty, according to the New York Sun, which enters into the follow- ing details about them: Cashmere is in high favor once more, and women should be devoutly thankful, for never did they have a more faithful ,friend. None of the substitutes has stood wear and:tear as cashhnere did without wrin- kling, rubbing shiny or catching the dust. No material will be more used for simple fall gowns, and the latest importations show both plain and em- broidered cashmeres in a bewildering variety of exquisite shades. Silk canvas Is another material that the Importers are buying in large quan- tities, but although wiry it musses more easily than the cashmere. Cloths are of course to iv in vogue for the fall and winter, but the buyers say that never have they confined themselves to the finest and most sup- ple of cloth as they do this year. Camel's hair venetian and cheviot will be popular in street costumes, and for more elaborate occasions come the light weight wools, silks and velvets. Everything points to a triumphant season for velvets, the new coats and bolero opening up limitless possibilities for a fabric always rich and becoming. Plain velvets, velvet brocades with sat- in gold or silver, grenadine over- wrought with velvet design, robes of cashmere and nun's veiling with velvet border to, be made up with coats of velvet matt,hing the border—all these are shown or rather will be shown when the imported goods are displayed in the shops. The silks, too, are more beautiful than they have been before In years, and the woman to whom sweet simplic ity doesn't appeal map he as gorgeous as she pleases. Louis XV and Louis $.VI brocades in ravishing tints and designs, with interwoven threads of gold or silver, go cheek by jowl with soft 'Indian weaves of delicate hues and shadowy motifs. Oriental patterns —Moorish, Persian, East Indian—figure largely, and silks in old fashioned chintz patterns suggest the day of Watteau and his shepherdesses. Satin, panne, foulard ondoyant—any- thing that will cling and fall in artistic folds—is in order, and many of the new silks come in 46 inch widths, which Is a welcome innovation. Sugar In the Human System. Sugar is -a substance that dissolves easily and in considerable quantity In Rater. When in solution it easily pass- es through animal's tnelnbrane by osmosis, and so the question of its absorption seemed simple enough. The disease diabetes showed, how- ever, that sugar might exist very plentifultly in the blood and yet the nu- trition of an individual suffer very much for the lack of it. Something else besides its mere presence in the system was necessary to secure US consumption by the tissues. Bernard thought that the liver was active in the consumption of sugar and that disease of this organ caused die - hetes. He therefore secured some Of the Mood going to tete liver of a living animal and some of the blood that was just leaving it. To his surprise, the blood leaving the liver contained more sugar than that entering it. After assuring himself that -his ob servations were correct, he tried his exp .':rents in different ways. He foto..1 that even in 4c 2,0 blood leaving the liver of an anitnM that had been fed only on substances containing no sugar, sugar could be demonstrated. Even in a fasting animal the liver it- self and the ;blood leaving it showed the presence of a form of sugar. The, only possible conclusion from this was that the liver was capable of manufacturing this form of sugar out of nonsugar containing materiel, or even from the blood of a fasting ani- mal. --Catholic World. Converting the l hlnaman. When I first ?net him the Greek, archimandrite had been 40 years in Peking, and had never been anywhere else except for two caravan journeys to Russia. IIe was au elderly gentle- man, with a senile like Benjamin Franklin's, and was famed at the Chi- nese capital for keeping the best wlnes and the best tobacco. He was a bachelor, and today I recall him when I try to fancy Epicurus in the body. He wore the Chinese pigtail and clothes to match, and people said he could give -Chinese mandarins points on etiquette. He gave me, at least, many happy hours, for he talked with a frankness and facility rarely united in a Russian, least of all an archl- mandrite. One day, for instance, I asked him bluntly how many converts he had made. He answered that he thought he had made one, but be did not wish to be taken as stating this positively. When I returned to China after an in- terval of 21 years, aiily inquiries led me to respect the honesty of this Rus, elan. He said, furthermore: "I have been here 40 years, and per- haps I have converted one Chinaman. When missionaries tell you that they have done more than that, do not be- lieve them."—Poultney Bigelow in North American Review. He )lad Her.

Had there been no sea there would have been no islands; had there been no islands there would have been no Filipinos; had there been no Filipinos there would have been no continua- tion of the Spanish war; had there been no continuation of the Spanish war there would have been no large increase of the national debt.

Seldom a man so well quali- fied for public office seeks. it at the hands of the people. The voters of Dakota County know Mr. Staples and know his worth, and therefore have elected him to the house of repre- sentatives five times in succession, even though the county is democratic by several hundred majority. He is known as one of the fathers in the house, and during his long term not one word of criticism has ever been offered against him.=Grhatfield News. The fact that C. F. Staples was nominated for the short term as a candidate of republicans for railroad commissioner is a signal testimony to his worth. He represented, and was elected in, demoe1'tie Dakota County to the legislature for five successive terms, until he is now known as one of the fathers of the house. During these ten years of his official life cal- umny has never raised the breath of suspicion against him.

We denounce this system which has in- creased our national takes from an average of two hundred and sixty million dollars annually or $4.00 per capita during the decade ending 1890, and from three hundred and fifty millions, or five dollars and thirty cents per capita during the decade ending 1900, to the enormous sum of seven hundred and ten million or aper p capita of nearly ten dollars for the present fiscal year. We view with most intense alarm that system of militarism which has within three years exactly doubled our national taxes, until they have reached in amount more than the total national expense of our government during the first fifty-four years of exist- ence. We congratulate the people of the United States on the new declaration of independence embodied in the magnifi- cent document Of the rights of man, the democratic national platform. We re- affirm our unaltering loyalty to that grand commoner of the people, that in- comparable orator and statesman, that christian gentleman and scholar, W. J. Bryan, a statesman raised up by God as we believe to complete the unfinished work of Abraham Lincoln. It is with particular pride that we point to the splendid results of the first demo- cratic state administration under the fear- less leadership of that able statesman, Gov. John Lind. Assuming office under unfavorable and hampering conditions, Gov. Lind has given to the state of Min- nesota an administration fraught with greater civic good. more beneficent gain to the whole people, and greater glory to the commonwealth than any other administration in the history, of t e state. Guided by no party dictates, but inspiecd by high ideals of duty, he has served the entire people with his whole strength and ability; and by con- stant personal effort has in every depart- ment of the state government achieved results that commend themselves to all thinking citizens as the accomplished purpose of wise, just. and efficient states- manship. The state railway commission. under personal direction of the governor has, by a careful and justly discriminating revision of rates, saved to the farmers of the state millions of dollars, and has been equally economical to the state by its maintenance of the standard grades. The grain inspection system of the state has been operated et a great saving in expense, as proven by authentic sta- tistics despite the falsified figures of the republican press to the contrary. The various state institutions- have been ad- ministered with prudence and economy, and every problem of the state that has presented itself has had the careful thought and judgment, and the earnest, effective decision of the governor of the state, so at variance with previous state administrations is this personal activity of the executive, that the only criticism that our republican friends have been able to launch at us is that Gov. Lind ]las done too much. We are also proud of the great good accomplished by our fellow citizen, the Hon. J. H. Lewis, Gov. Lind's tried and trusted superintendent of schools. His administration has been received with the unqualified endorsement of all the friends of education in the state. regard- less of/party. Resoteed.

B. Taisey has a curiosity in his rear yard in the shape of a couple of cotton plants grown from seed given him by a normal professor a year ago. He planted the seed early in June, and now the plants are four and a half feet tall, which be says is a foot and a half higher than the average growth in the south as he has been told. Be has watched the develop- ment of the plants with a good deal of interest. The blossoms always open oat in the morning, and when they first appear are yellow in color, but towards the end of the day they grow reddish and so remain until they-. drop off to give place to the cotton pod. Some of these pods are well developed but none of them are ripe as yet. Mr. Taisey has a penchant for growing tall plstpts. He has some tomato vines eight feet tall and some sweet torn nine feet tall.— Winona Republican. Clams and Pearls. The pearl button industry and the clam fishing seem to be -flourishing along the river. Yesterday the Merle Spalding left for Wabasha with her barge full of clam shells to the amount of thirty tons. This is the result of the labor of seven men in six weeks, who have been fishing at Trenton bar, a few miles above the city. The clams seem to be just as plentiful as ever despite the inroads made upon them. Those who sell their shells now obtain a fairly good price for them, but others are holding their shells until winter, When the price is expeeted to advance. The pearls found are in some instances perfectly round, but nearly all of the clam diggers are holding their pearls for better prices. The pearl buyers are not offering more than twenty per cent of their actual value at present. One of the clam fishers at Trenton bar has a pearl weighing nine grains, which is perfectly round. A man from Chicago was in the city yester- day buying pearls. He purchased of some of the men who are fishing immediately above the city. He also went out to Pine Island where some rare pearls have been Bound. Tbere is also said to be a party at Maiden Rock, who is buying rare specimens. For perfectly round pearls $40 a grain can be obtained, and for half round or button pearls a somewhat smaller price, while the common slugs sell at about seventy-five cents or $1 an ounce. The Trenton fisher- men have still about ten tons of shell and a great many pearls and slugs, which they will hold until a satisfac- tory price is obtained. Four of the men accompanied the barge of shells to Wabasha, the ether three remain- ing at Trenton bar. They intend to continue -the clam fishing until winter sets in.—Red Wing Republican. Asylum Notes. H. C. Koerner, deputy public ex. miner, was checking up accounts Saturday. Mrs. Emil Weinfeld and daughters, of Farmington, are the guests of Mrs. Robert Carmichael. The colored preacher held services Saturday afternoon, attended by their entire congregation. Twenty-four inmates did good work on Monday, cutting and shock- ing twenty acres of corn. The total acreage is seventy. Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Dampier, of Crookston, were guests on Sunday. The doctor was formerly of Castle Rock and Northfield. Dr. A. F. Warden, of Lansing, Mich., cdmmihsioner of the board of corrections and chafities of that state, was a visitor Saturday accompanied by his wife. He is making a tour of inspection through the institutions of other states, to learn their methods of doing business. ,. Fifteen additional inmates were received from the Rochester hospital Thursday, arriving in charge of Supt. Carmichael and W. J. Yanz. The trip was made without incident, and they were ,taken from the train and placed in lumber wagons. Nearly all appeared to be passed middle age, and they seemed to enjoy their new surroundings. This makes a total of one hundred and twenty-five now in our asylum. St in in In ce in an cr on th in we CI ob th dec cis ing ru cla the m wit rup tor fac ban A Carnivorous Horse. Those who follow the teachings and practice of the vegetarians have for years pointed to the horse as an example of what vegetable diet will do for anirnal life, for, they argue, no animal is more healthy than the horse, and less liable to any ill. - Now all this argument is knocked int. 'st of rules with exceptions by a nn orse, owned by Reinhold Zeglin, n o Minneapolis, nneapolis, which is thriv- ing upon a diet of beefsteak, and does not appear to be any the worse for the meat he stores away in his stomach, Mr. Zeglin; horse is a recluse, but not km choice. Six years ago a Lands a team was driven across the ice iia Clearwater Lake, to Coney Island, a summer resort owned and operated by Mr. Zeglin. The two animals took up their abode on the island, having nit other horse society, and never again put foot on the main land. In summer they served the stylish boarders from Minneapolis and St. Paul in various ways, and in the winter their sole company was a m'bu and his wife who stood guard over the island possessions. Finally one of the horses died, and the other, becoming lonely, took up more closely with human society, un- til he was quite a pet, and would go to the kitchen door for delicacies. Therefuse from the table was handed out to the poultry, and the Zeglin horse would take his share, along with the ducks, chickens, turkeys, and peacocks. Finally, from sponge cake and angel food, the horse tack- led mince pie, and then finally one day a juicy piece of porterhouse steak become tangled in his teeth. For a moment the beast was surprised, and then taking his hoof he made fast to the steak and pulled. In the exertions which followed the steak went down the throat of the horse and he seemed to like it. After .that he picked out the beefsteak and other meats, and now nothing pleases him so much for diet as a piece of nicely cooked meat. The boarders who have been at Coney Island during the past season have been shown the horse and have fed him beefsteak, and they have wondered much at Herr Zelin's won- derful animal.—Minneapc Jis Tribune. Pied at the Ball Park. John Ford, a farmer living' near Randolph, who accompanied the crowd from Hastings to the ball game yesterday between the Hastings team and the Lennon & Gibbons team of this slaty, was stricken with a hemor- rhage of the lungs while sitting in the amphitheatre at Lexington Park, just before the game commenced. Dr. Cavanaugh, who was . in the amphi- theatre, attended him, but he was be- yond medical aid and died in a few minutes. The body was taken to the county morgue, and Deputy Coroner Richardson notified his wife of her husband's s death, and asked. what dis- position position she wished made of the body. She wired back to have the body shipped at. once to Randolph. The body went out last evening on a late train. Ford's ten year old daughter - was with her father, and she was taken homy by County Treasurer D. T. Queasy, of Hastings, who was also at the game. Ford was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, apd belonged to the lodge at Randolph. He was a well-to-do farmer. He. was about thirty-five years of age, and leaves a wife and two children.—St. Paul Clobe, 27th. The Public Schools.

The prison population is now four hundred and fifty six, which is ninety lower than last wintery Four men were let out to -day. Next month there will be twenty-three more turned loose, and as the courts are not in session the prospects for a big reduction in the number of inmates is probable. Four colored men will be discharged from the prison next month, two of whom are now out on parole.

Faribault now possesses a candi- date for vice president of these United States. It is "Gen." Michael Brazil, who, then he is home, resides on west S'econd Street. "Gen," Brazil was nominated for vice presi- dent by the national convention of hoboes, held last week .at Britt, Ia. He was given the honor becaase he was a U. S. soldier, having served two years with the Third Minnesota Regiment •in the Philippines. Among his comrades he is better known as Filipino Joe, alias Red, alias Yellowstone. Gen. Brazil's running mate is Adm. Dewey, who was nominated for president on the hobo ticket, not because he sank a Spanish navy in Manila Bay, but from the fact that he has had only one home in forty years, and that he gave that one away just as soon a he could. The platform is founded upon the issues of free silver, free beer, and a full can, and a close friend of one of the candidates gives it on the q. t. that these will be made the paramount issues of the cam paign.—Faribault Journal.

BEATRICIA AND THE IMAGE VENDER. A Tale of Italy and Now York. Tho snow flurries were blinding the eyes of the passing throng, but Pietro stood valiantly at the curb holding out his plaster •images for sale. It seemed bitterly cold to the muffed, scurrying crowd, but it was swarm and balmy to Pietro. Though the hands which held out the little White image of the wing- ed victory or a bust of Beethoven wore blue and stiff and the narrow shoulders of the thin frame were doubled togeth- er in an attitude of cringing •subjec- tion, yet the eyes -of Pietro were look- ) ing far beyond the brilliant shops of Fifth avenue. In his imagination he was wandering in the Elysian fields with his Beatricia where the sunlight gilded the meadows and the smile of nate shone even where. Oh, valiant heart of Pietro! • For two years now he had molded plaster casts A and images and sold his wares on • street corners and hoarded the meager gkln to be able to get back to his Bea- trb?ia. On the banks of the Tiber he had left her picking grapes with the - men and girls in the Ron vineyards, and be bad e*n'r, to seek an El Dorado before he claimed her as his bride. For one long, sad year of separation Ole wrote to him. She- upbraided him for his slowness in winning the wealth they had.dreamed of, site scolded him for only lukewarm affection, she wounded his sensitive soul with re- peatrd attacks on bis loyalty and 1oo]]rre, and gradually these criticisms, emaalat- ing from the restless, passionate soul of the young girl, tender, but selfish, /giving much, but demanding more, crushed the ardent spirit of the young Italian, and he drew his love within the recesses of his heart and brooded over it, and ceased to pour out the soul's desires in the ,little message which he sent occasio lly across the )water. - - Finally, when she believed ber love too little appreciated, she ceased alto- gether to write. Pietro had been wait- ing and watching and counting the days• for the letter which she owed. Weeks went by, thenmonths, and no word came to lighten his labors and his loneliness; The first sharp pain of dis- appointment gave way to a long, dull, ceaseless agony -that filled hls heart to the brim and made it throb wildly at times within the tender walls. "Oh, beloved Beatricia," he would cry out in the walleful watches of the long night "have you forgotten your Pietro?" . The plaster Ven es and Mercurys and Sacred Marys toed side by side along the shelves his shop, gazing down on him from eir classic gran- deur with cold,' unpitying eyes. Some- times at night he thought that he saw the imperious Milo shake her head dis- dainfully when be cried aloud. Mer- cury sneered, and a' dimpled Cupid's - head, by _Praxiteles, broke into amused 'mirth. Once in his grief he knelt be- fore a Mary, which he had himself molded that very day, and he prayed wildly and despairingly, and, as if in compassion, it seemed to him that the sacred lips of the image moved to in- tercede, _ He lived alone. Others in "Little Italy" sought to know him and to draw him out of himself. He was a hand- some youtb, perhaps 22 years of age, and many of the American born young Italian girls cast amorous glances at him. Ile did not even notice them. He looked far beyond them and saw a little dark eyed girl, with a clear, white,. transparent skin, more beautiful than the day—tt cameo with but the merest blush of_pink. "He no gooda; he no gooda," shouted the mob of merrymakers, tossing back their heads in unbridled, mock; laughter. They would look at one a other when he - passed silently, and then raise their eyebrows significantly and smile with knowing, conclusive smiles as they 'touched their foreheads with a finger. , Pietro scarcely knew of their pres- ence. He used to hear their uproarious laughter, but it did not attract him. He Lad no respect for them. Many were but provir dal born, and he, why, he, Pietro Gonzales, had been born in Rome itself, above the shop where Gonzales the elder had chiseled the heads of prelates of the Vatican from the finely veined, dazzling white ribs of marble from Italy's own hills and had been a true artist in his day and had loved art and labored for it in the pure joy of creating.- Money to him was, nothing. He did not know how to earn it well, or to keep it. Art "vas everything. He deemed it worth the dist] sacrifice of his son, whom he forced to they go to America in order to extract a for- carr] tune from the new world. ful But Pietro was beginning to learn, the that fortunes are slow in coming, even path in young, thriving provinces, and his R -a art was'more than•the art of chiseled ,had marbles or of plaster casts. His love 'Iwhe was his ambition. He •placed it above blin his art, above bis duty, above life itself, Jack And the objeet had only grown'to mock hes liim for his devotion, by r Often as he sauntered along the city one streets, absorbed in thoughts of her, he would stop with a startled look and search the face of some passerby that reminded him vividly of lois Beatricia.

"She must be dead," he thought at times. "If she were alive, she could not feel the power of my love, though an ocean lies between us." But, like all lovers, he was selfish and sensitive, and he had sworn on his honor never to write to her again, he could picture her ofted making to Marcello and Valentino and ot in the vineyards, as she had made to him.

P torship. This restaurant employee stood on the sidewalk for a few mo- ments and gazed admiringly at his house and then at its respectable neighbors. For many wars he has been connected with a certain `New York restaurant as an attendant, and his fees have been generous. He knew all its patrons by name, and his polite- ness and eagerness to render service have made him Fell liked. Wondering if this restaurant attendant, whom he knew only by his first name, could by any possibility have rented a house on that street, the old resident came out to satisfy Ids curiosity. "Hello," he said, "What are you do- ing -up here?" "Good morning, Mr. Blank," said the restaurant attendant. "How do you like my new house? I have just bought it because I think that my fam- ily will like this neighborhood. You are perhaps aware that my tips have been generous for many years, and I can now afford to live in this house very easily" His questioner had no objection to him as a neighbor, and he congfatulat- ed the restaurant attendant on his prosperity. The house had actually been bought by tips, for its owner's salary probably averaged about $15 a week.—New York Sun. The Philadelphia Variety and Three Ways to Make et.

The information concerning the ex- preflsion "a son of a sea cook," says the Philadelphia Times, has not been found in any reference dictionary. It comes from a prominent citizen, a man of affairs and a man - of intelligence. In 1502 he was for a period the cam- paign companion of Leonard Swett, who at that time was a candidate for congress .in Illinois. Mr. Swett was the bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln —bis alter ego. In 1888 he was the ad- vocate in Chieago of the presidential aspirations of Walter Q. Gresham. At the time -referred to Mr. Swett had an engagement to address voters in Fremont and Pekin, ]n Tazewell county, and by the infornInt referred to was driven from Fremont to Pekin. Swett had few equals as a conversa- tionalist, and the talk was brisk and naturally never to be forgotten by the man who bad proffered his services as a driver. The latter, speaking of a well known lawyer of Pekin, remarked, "He is a son of a sea cook." Mr. Swett turned abruptly about and said: "That expres- sion is not correct. You mean the son of a sekawk, which is a perversion of the Indian name segonk, which means a skunk and is usually pronounced se- kawk. Few people ever use the term correctly or comprehend its meaning." One Old Horse Guards Another. Two beautiful chestnut horses, Jack and Sam, were among my early friends. They were clean built, high stepping trotters of a speed which might have nguished them on the track, but led" a happier life, beingg favorite age horses in a region of beauti- country roads or sometimes, under saddle, threading lovely forest s. rely used in single harness, theys been ararely separated, and n in their old age Sam became d it was a touching thing to see 's constant watchfulness over him. ✓ pasturage was in fields broken, ocky ledges and where more than steep ravine suddenly descended from the smooth sward. Jack never left his friend. Constantly beside hjm. if Sam went too near a perilous edge, the stream, a rock or fence, he would go between him and the danger, push- ing him aside or, if that could not be done, he would take him by the mane and gently lead him to a place of safe- ty.

This gives a very light delicate texture to the cream. Third' -Heat the cream in a double boiler until scalding hot. Melt the sug- ar in it and when cold add tine flavor- ing: This is considered by many the best method. as 'the create has n rich body and flavor and a peculiarly smooth, velvety appearance. It also prevents the cream from turning sour. The cream may be whipped first and the froth removed until you have a pint. Then scald the remainder of the cream with the sugar and when cold add the whipped cream. Thin cream, or single cream, is rich enough for ice cream, but It should be all cream, not thick creatn dilated with milk. When milk Is used with thick cream, eggs or flour should be used to thicken the milk, or the milk should be well scalded with the cream. The amount of sugar needed will vary with the flavoring. concludes American Kitchen Magazine in giving these instructions.

Vagaries ot Mea'■ FacMons, Apropos of the adoption by the Prince of Wales of a single breasted frock coat the New York Sun says: Some of the peculiarities of the prince's dressing have been copied, although they were solely the result of his phys- ical proportions. Most striking of these Is the fashion of leaving open the last button of the waistcoat. Turned up trousers in all weather have been an accepted vagary of fash ion for the past three years, and the habit is said to have originated In the greater comfort that conies from wear- ing long trousers turued up, father than those of the exact length, whieh would necessarily have to be held tight ly by suspenders. The Austrian hats worn In the Tyrol and in all parts of the country by gen- tlemen -there gained no vogue here, al- though the Prince of Wales, when at Marienbad, was photographed wear- ing one of thein. On the other hand, the soft gray hats, described variously as a Homburg, fedora or alpine, owe their continued popularity here to the fact that the Prince of Wales promptly adopted the new style. The single breasted frock coat will in all probability have to be added to the list of those fashions which could not be made popular, even through the prince's patronage. There may be need of such a garment in London, but here the frock coat as a social necessity does not exist after the first of June. Eyed at weddings a short coat Is per- missible after that time. At such places as Bar Harbor and Newport the tem- perature is usually suited to the gar- ment whenever it is needed, and that is not often. Canned Pesehes.

"Is there any new joke under the sun?" asks George Augustus Sala, an English journalist and special corre- spondent. "I doubt there being one very grave- ly," he answer's and tells two anec- dotes to support this skepticism. An intelligent Greek who acted as Mr. Sala's guide while visiting Athens related to him as a modern Greek Joe Millerism the story of a lawsuit. A deaf plaintiff sued a deafer defendant before the deafest j'ldge in all Greece. The plaintiff claimed so many hundred drachmas for rent that was due. The defendant pleaded that he never ground his corn at night. The judge in giving judgment observed: "Well, she's your mother, after all. Yon must keep ber between you." "When I got home I found," writes Mr. Sala, "this apparently up to date triad of ludicrous non sequiturs to a collection of ancient Greek epigrams." There used to be told a story of Sher- idan Knowles, the dramatist, who was a first rate hand at Irish bulls, meeting one of twin brothers and asking him, "Which of ye is the other?" Mr. Sala compares this with the sto- ry of tl t very ancient jester, Hier-' ocles: T "Of twins, one died. Skolastlkos, meeting the survivor, asked him, 'Was it you who died or your brother?' "— Youth's Companion. A Practical Joke. He was a wag and was passing a large draper's shop 1n Manchester. There, drawn up, were three or four vehicles, and among them was a closed brougham with the driver fast asleep on the box. Evidently the mistress was inside the shop. Without a word the wag stole quickly up and, opening the carriage door, carefully slammed it to. Iu all instant the coachman straightened himself up and gazed up the street as if he had never seen any- thing more interesting to look at in his life. Then be stole a look over his shoulder and saw the wag standing, hat in hand, apparently conversing with some one inside the carriage. "Thank you, yes. Good morning," said the practical joker and bowed himself gracefully away from the door, turning as he did so to look at the coachman and say, "Home!" "Yes, sir! Tch! Get up!" and away went the brougham "home." Where that "home" ,was, who the mistress of the carriage was or what she did or said when abe came out of the shop or what the coachman did or said when he stopped at the door of "home" and found the cordlike empty —all that only the coachman and the lady know.—London Tit -Bits, A Clever I11Incf Ma The New Orleans Time emocrat tells of a blind man in a southern city wbo goes to the posto®ce every day carrying a small, light riding whip, which he bolds slightly inclined to the front, with the tip just touching the pavement. His sense of touch has be- come so delicate that the whip is al- most an artificial eye. When the point encounters anything, he makes a few swift passes over the surface and gen- erally determines the exact character of the obstacle. It is done so quickly and deftly as to attract no attention, and few passers have the least suspi- cion of the old man's infirmity. When he reaches the postoftice,he turns un- hesitatingly, mounts the middle stairs, walks over to the lock boxes and with- out any feeling around threats a key Into the right aperture. Anxious Only About One Thing. The ghastly rider on the white herbs stopped at the gate. ' "I am Death," he said to the sick man who was watching from the win- dow.

Edward Hanlan, ex -champion oars- man of the world, related a good story of how he delivered a speech after P winning his second race in England. His first victory had found him unpre- pared. He was ready for his second with t a speech composed sed f r him by a newspaper friend neatly copied out on paper and stored away for use in his spat pocket. When the crowd outside the club- house insistedtupon seeing and hearing the winner, he'iwas helped out upon a window ledge by bis friends and held there by the coattails and the legs. The' crowd cheered him wildly. He was too confused to speak. They cheered him again. He threw out bis hand in a gesture of helplessness and moved his lips in some inaudible mum- ble of apology for his inability to deliv- er a speech. They could not hear on account of the noise that they were themselves making, but they encourag- ed him with a generous applause.' He saw his escape and proceeded to shake his head and work his lips in a tine frenzy of oratory, gesticulating elo- quently and smiling his thanks. The noisy and good natured crowd cheered him to the echo, and his friends drew him in from his precarious position on the window ledge. "You carried that crowd along in style," they congratulated him. "What did you say? We couldn't hear you." "Yes. Give us an idea of your speech," the reporters put in, drawing out their notebooks. 1 Hanlon took the manuscript from his pocket. "Here's the whole thing," he said. "Do you want it all?" "Well, rather," they answered. "That speech made a hit."—Argonaut. Why Ile Carries a Cane. "You wonder why I always carry a cane except when I am carrying an umbrella," remarked a well known Philadelphian the other afternoon. "Well, I don't mind telling you. It's all on account of umbrellas." "Can't see the connection,' rejoined the friend to whom he was talking. "Didn't suppose you could. But you will when I have explained. You lose an umbrella every once In awhile, don't you? Put it doeen somewhere and walk off and leave 1t?" "Yes; I have had that happen to me frequently." "Well, I used to, but not since I took to carrying a cane. An acquaintance in Chicago put me on to the scheme. 'Get a cane of some kind,' be said to me one day, 'and carry it every day and every night thft it doesn't rain. By that means you become so accus- tomed to having something in your hand you are lost without it. Then when a rainy day or evening comes and you are compelled to carry an um- brella about with you the benefit comes in. Say you have gone into a restau- rant and when you come out the rain has stopped. You walk out into the street without your umbrella. Presto! After you have taken perhaps a dozen steps you miss something. Your cane carrying hand is minus the burden it usually bears. Back go your thoughts to your umbrella and back go your steps to get it. Simple? Of course It is, but the simple things oftentimes prove the most valuable."—Philadel- phia Inquirer. Four Legged Weather Prophets, Though. the tortoise is an excellent weather prophet, the fact is known to comparatively few people. Tortoise farmers on the African coast notice that even 24 hours before rain falls these curious animals prepare for it by seeking the convenient shelter of over- hanging rocks. It may be a bright, clear, sunshiny morning, but the farm- ers believe implicitly in the tactics of the tortoise, wbo is seldom mistaken, for the downpour is certain to come within the time stated. A pet tortoise would be a practical present to bestow on one's friends. This curious premonition of the ap- proach of rain is shared by many other animals and birds and may be explain- ed partially by the fact that while rain Is forming the atmosphere is increas- ing in weight, but there may also be some need of moisture which makes them aware of its approach or some habits of life which make them thus sensitive.—Chicago Record. Cool and Methodical. A lawyer who worthily bears a dis- tinguished name occupie's an old fash- ioned mansion on the edge of New York. His sister, who lives with him, tells a laughable story, which is re- ported in Harper's Round Table, illus- trating his coolness and love of method. Recently his sister tiptoed into his room some time after midnight and told him she thought burglars were in the house. The lawj'er put on his dress - Ing gown and went down stairs. In the back hall he found a rough looking man trying to open a door that led into the back yard. The burglar had unlocked the door and was palling at it with all his might. The lawyer, seeing the robber's predicament, called to him: "It does not open that way, you idiot! It slides back!" The Blue Pencil. "This," said the man who was show- ing the visitors about the office of the metropolitan daily, "is the copy read- ers' room. It is the place where the matter sent in for publication is boiled' down to the right dimensions." "Doesn't that make it warm?" gig- gled one of the young wom , "No," he replied.

"How much would you require?" asked the editor. r "Twenty thousand dollars," answer- ed the senator, which, of course, put an end to the negotiations. "And, do you know," said Mr. Frye to a friend afterward, "I couldn't have written the article anyhow." She—Of courser Harry.

It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents. Matters of national or vital public interest get more space in THE TRIBUNE than in any, other paper in the West. For these reasons it is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming politigal campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. lta facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West. It presents the news in as fair a way as pos- sible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the moat comprehensive articles on all news features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE•' published daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one col- umn.

The Editorial Excursion, The Land of the Huron and the Iro- quois; the land of Jacques Carteir, of Champlain, of Frontenac, the land of the French voyageur, the land of ro- mance, of poetry and of song,— French Canada was the scene of this year's outing of the Minnesota Edi- torial Association. It was a trip full of the greatest interest and in many ways the most valuable ever offered to members of the association. There was more of historic interest, there was more that was strange and for, eign and more that was educational. Starting from St. Paul on -Thursday evening, the party of two hundred, all editors and their immediate families, miles of stumps or desolation often found on trans -continental routes, but every mile is through the best and most fruitful country, and every mile has its scenes he beauty. Passing through a corne7sof Indiana, through a suecession of hltrusting towns, it leaves the state .at.South Bend, a real- ly charming city, whose busy fac- tories, pretty paved streets,, fine houses and business blocks, and -pro- turesque river, are seen to advantage from the train. Across Michigan the important cities of Battle Creek, Len- sing and Flint are seen, and there are good views of the great Sanitarium, the state's capital building and the factories and mills. Then at Poi* -Hu- • ron, the train whirls without delay through the great tubular steel terin- AMONG TIM ISLLNDS— in a•train or splendid palace coaches, traveled over 3,000 utiles. From the windows of the rushing train they saw as a continuous panorama the southern parts of their own state, the splendid states of Iowa, Illinois, Indi- ana, and Michigan before entering Canada. Th$n passing throitgireefhe Dort Huron tunnel under the St. Clair river, a • remarkable example of en- gineering skill we entered the coun- try of our neighbors. Through much of the best of Canada's fapining coun- try we, went into the Itlpskoka lake region, that glorious haven of the sportsman and the pleasure seeker; down the beautiful St. Lawrence, through the Thousand Islands, to Montreal and on to Quebec, the New York and Gibraltar of Canada, and then to Ottawa, the seat of the Do- minion government.` It was an outing long to be remembered and thought , over, and one that it will take the editorial -party long to thoroughly di- gest. For it the editorial thanks are due, first, to the Grand Trunk Railroad, whose officers made it possible. Never in the history of the association has such care and attention been extended to it by any railroad. The editorial train passed over a part f all four of its phssenger divisions, d every- where the arrangements for handling it were made with the thought only of having every detail of the service conduce to the pleasure of the excur- sionists and their convenience. The Grand Trunk's passenger department is both a family and a mac$ine. There is the strongest possible personal fealty between the members of the force, from- the humblest clerk to the head, of this branch of the service. Not only is there obedience to instruc- tions, but a somewhat close look into their methods shows every one sitting up nights and scheming off -hours to see if .somehow, some way they can do something to further the interest of the Grand Trunk, dile every sub- ordinate knows, that he can always LAKE MUSKOKA. final under the river, end is in Canada. Eastern Canada -is a splendid eoun- try, fruitful and prosperops, and the° Grand Trunk here networked the very best of it all. Indeed, from Detroit and Port Huron to Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Toronto on the south and the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay points on the north, there is little of rail- road importance except the Grand Trunk. It not only covers the splen- did farming country north of Lakes Erie 'and Ontario, but the rich timber . and - mineral region and magnificent inceasion of lake resorts. Indeed, when one stops to think, first, of what. we saw on the trip, that succession of scenic wonder: the Muskoka lakes, the Thousand Islands, the St. Law fence rapids, `Montreal, with its him-, dreds of magnificent churches, and its views from Mount Royal; Quebec, that bit of ancient • Europe, and the glorious outlook fromthe citidal over the bay, with the Laurentiau moun- tains in the distance; the . fontmgren- ei Falls, three hundred feet of falling feathers; Ottawa, in many ways the most beautiful city of Canada, with its Parliament buildings, which, iu the perfection of their architecture, are not excelled on this continent; the splendid Ottawa and Rideau river scenery, and the Chaudiere Falls, and things of all that was left•unseen, we wonder that any one ever travels on any other road, Save from necessity. But to begin our trip back at St. Paul, we started out with flve Pull- man vestibuled sleepers and a xray coach over the Chicago Great Western road, which has proved itsexcellence by its popularity and by gatheripg.in passenger and freight businesssin a way that startles its rivals: The as- sociation is under obligations especial- ly to Mr. S. C. Stiekney, the general manager, to Mr. F. H. Lord, the gen- eral passenger agent, and to Mr. J. P. Elmer, the local agent at St. Paul, for great 'courtesy and. kindness. The Great Western handled .our train splendidly, and nothing was neglected reach the ear of- his superior and gain his attention. If this is an example of 'the other departments of the road it is no wonder that in the few years the system has been under the pres- ent management, it has been brought itrom discredit, ill -repute and worse repair, to rank as one of the very best railway systems of the country. Its rolling stock has been put in the best possible condition, so that now its trains Nos. - 3 and 4, the pride of the road, are not excelled in perfection of appointments by any road in the country. This train is pulled by a great ten -wheeled locomotive and is completely vestibuled. There is a New York and Philadelphia coach and elegant through Pui;:sali s.ek pi,tg cat service to those cities, via Niagara Falls; to Boston via Stratford, Boron-\� to and Montreal; to Toronto via Stratford, and from Detroit to Buffalo via London and Hamilton. Connec- tions with convenient sleeper accom- modations are also made for other eastern points, and during the sum- mer through service is maintained for Portland and ` Old Orchard Beach. These trains are simply palaces - on wheels slid no one going to any point on the eastern cost of the United States or to eastern LaTada can fail in wisdom to take this route. So per- fect has the road bed been made that this heavy train at th high rate of . speed, equalled by few d excelled by no through- service. rides eo smoothly that writing and reading are pleasures, and to travel becomes 'no more tiresome 'than sitting at home. The Grand Trunk has the right/to be the favorite road to the east, and to be pnbsperous, because of the country it traverses. From "leaving Chicago to arriving at any terminal, it has no stretches - of dreary ;was noJ that would add to'-thg pleasure of the trip. On the return a change of schedule made necessary a breakfast at Oelwein, where the . local .agent. spent the entire .night arraszrng that the party be accommodatsg at one sitting. This is but an -example of what the Great Western, or "Maple Leaf," as it is so- well known, will do for its patrons, and shows ,the reason outside of its equipment and facilities, for its popularity and business -get- ting. Leaving Chicago, our first stop was at Durand for supper, at the Grand Trunk eatiug house, and it is enough to say that when it , was announced that another meal would be ha, there on the return, in spite of • atige 041" -- program, it was greeted. wi h a Even the local band of 't t pieces was out- and "payed all' during a the stay. The second morniftg,•'aftei'• a run through a beautiful country; through farming and timber lands and pine for stn and.past lovely lakes, we landed •kt Muskoka Wharf, and were at that famous chain .of la that brings health and strength to thousands, and pleasure and sport to as many more.. There is 'something remarkable about the etmtosphere in the Canadian eke region.: In a few' hours it wit cure any cold in the head, hfeF er disappears like magic, rigor cones to the tired body and brain, an'd the water,p ure and wholly free from alkali, has strong medicinal properties. It is a haven of rest, and while this-Muskoka.lake region is the center, it extends for miles and utiles through all_that part of Canada. The lakes teem with bass, pike, musico - longe, the streams with trout, and the woods are full of wild game. Last year 12,000 visitors passed over Mus - Atoka Wharf, While, 24,000 visited this region. This rear the number will be over "Quo. At Little Pittsburgh, as they call one resort, 500 Pittsburgers go regularly each summer, while all along the shores of the lakes and on most of the innumerable islands, which are of every shape and size, are cottages, club bowies, hotels, camps, resorts and all sorts of inducements for the pleasure seeker. It is sure to be Canada's great resort and is al- ready a strong rival of the Adiron- decks. Lett season 6,000 deer were shipped from there, and 10,000 killed in the 'region. The 'lake transporta- tion is fully provided for by the Mus- koka Navigation Company. Captain Cockburn, the manager, put the first boat on the lakes in the '60's, and his faith has had- its reward. Now this company's fleet of five large steam- ers, on one of which our party of 200 was nicely accommodated and served with meals, mover the lakes. They. call at all the clubs and island homes and dodge in and out of the maze of islands, where familiarity shows the way, but where the stranger wo lost. The captain has his men= on one of the islbads and he accom- panied us that far on our rounds, his daughters coming out in a pretty launch to take him from the vessel. The lakes are connected by narrow rock-bound channels and one round of 80 miles entering these lakes did not by any means show all their beau- ties. That night, which was Saturday, we were taken via Toronto to Thousand Island Junction on the Grand Trunk, where, by courtesy of the Thousand Islands Railway, a short but very im- portant train link, we were landed at tlananoque on the St. Lawrence. Here we left our train with all heavy bag- gage to go on to Montreal, while we were transferred to the care of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Com- pany, whosefloating palaces make this one of their regular stopping places. The Grand Trunk officials re- mained'with us, but we also had the honor of having with us Mr. Thos. Henry, the traffic manager of the R. & O. N. Co., to whom we all were great- ly indebted for his kindly attentions and care. The R. & 0. N. Co. i1g� to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawre'hce what the Grand Trunk is to eastern Canada, and they make close mutual rifle of all. the Lachine rapids. Noth- ing can be said or written to exceed the reality of these rapids. Almost between walls of stone, barely cov- ered with rushing water, with vast masses of rock on every side, over which the waters tumbled and dashed with foam and spray thrown high, the vessel was taken until it plunged over what was neatly a water fall, while five strong urea hung to the wheel and every one -inwardly prayed the good ship's harness might prove faultless in its strength and take us safely through. Finally we swept around the bend and the grand city of Montreal, the commercial center of the Dominion, Fame in view. We left the boat only regretfpl that we could not again transfer t:i one of the boats still larger than the "Toronto" and go on dowry to Quebec. Then on to Merway Bay, Which, with the Lauren- tian mountains just back, rivals Scotland's highland beauties, and is a region renowned, too, for its attrac- tions of mountain lakes and streams. And then Tadousae, anotjser of the continent's famed summer resorts, just at the mouth of the Saguenay, up which the boats pass to Chieontimi, where connections are made for the Lake St. John region. It is a great trip, this offered by the Richeleau & Ontario Navigation Company, one that for scenic grandeur certainly is un- rivaled in any land. Here, side by side, the Old and New Has each a charm spread out to view: Prom where Niagara's thunders roar By scarped cliff and frowning shore; In fertile fields and Hand groves, By winding streams and wrinkled coves; In haunts of pleasure gay with life In scenes of peace and ancient strife. When we took the - boat four mem- bers of the Quebec Press Association, President Charles Gordon Smith, Vice - President G. H. Porteous, and Messrs. John Richards and Marson met us and proved most rnyal entertainers. They had badges and programs of the Montreal entertainment: This courte- sy was but a forerunner of what Mon- treal held in store for us. Mayor 1're- fontaine, members of, the council, Major Brittinger, our consul general, with the press, joined in greetings anis a succession of courtesies, that ended in a reoention on Mount Royal, where, F �a / :/14i:I51i X11JIM Mir I,.

From Niagara -Falls, Hamilton and Toronto at the end of ; Lake Ontario, their lines of boats, that j3n' size and appointments rival ocean , !'easels, reach every important town and city on both the American and , Canadian sides, to the Saguenay rivet'" and up that to Chicontimi. There could be no more delightful" trip than all of this route or any part of it. The company's boats will accommodate a thousand day passengers and can pro- vide sleeping accommodation Inc nearly 500. It was on one of the most splendid of these, the "To- ronto," that we were taken down through the Thousand Islands Our breakfast and dinner were taken on the beets, and in service and cuisine they equaled any of the fa nous ho- tels. And even with all the beauties of the St. Lawrence to fill the eyes and attract and satisfy the mind and - heart, the stomach still remains :an important factor in the tourist's pleasure: Down the river, winding past the multitude of islands, we steamed, wh le multitude of beauty, each more charming than the other, brought "Ohs" and "Ahs" and pro- longed exclamations of delight. On the American side are the most im- provements. On Round Island -and Thousand Island Park are magnifi- cent hotels, and a short stop gave the tourists a chance to run up to the - and ere our "Oom hotels,h Paul"- at- tracted the Canadians' attention and loud were the calls for him. But all were waiting for the famous Alex- andria Bay, where American wealth has built another Saratoga.% The boat threads in and out among the hundreds of islands on' which the rich have lavished literally their millions in rivalry as to who should have the most georgeous mansion. Many pf them are modeled as are ancient cas- tles, with towers a . d battlements, QUEBEC. on the grand outlook with its view over the city and the river, a delicious lunch was served. The mayor ex- tended the city's welcome in a most gracious little address, and Mr. H. P. Hall made a response. Other fitting �, talks were made and then the second evening ended with a theater party. - In the morning the Grand Trunk had taken us in a special train out to the Victoria Jifbilee bridge, one of the engineering wonders of the land. We were accompanied by many of the road's officials, including Assistant Engineer McNabb, who most enter- tainingly told of the bridge built in the '50's in the tubular form. It was opened officially in 1860 by the Prince of Wales, who drove the last rivet. It was their a wonder, but the traffic over it so increased that it had to be rebuilt in 1897-8. it was not closed for a min.•te, and so thorough was the first structure that the old piers did not have to be replaced, the super- structure alone being replaced by open steel pans on which. is a double railroad track, an on either side, sep- , nated from th seaway tracks by one walls, is roadway. There are 24 piers, and the bridge is 6,59E feet in length. It is no wonder the Grand Trunk is proud of their splendid structure on which, in all, $9,000,000 has been expended. end souvenir ed Little sou en r Woks, picturing and explaining the bridge and printed for the occasion, were given each guest. - Again that night we took our train and the Grand Trunk whirled ns to Quebec, that quaintest of citied of the new world, with its famous •hostelry, the Chatatls Frontenac, perched upon the lofty hillsside, with, the citidal as a background. As at Montreal, where wewere housed at the Windsor, that city's awellest hotel, and one of the best on the continent, so in Quebec we were at the Frontenac, as nothing FROM HAMIL'S POI their heavy walla built up from the rocky cliffs. Others are more modest but equally picturesque, and fitting their purpose and surroundings. It was a display of magnificance that opened the eyes to the vast wealth' that eau lir mere pastime and luxury invest such vast sums. At Prescott we transferred to the "Bohemian," a smaller vessel that could .pass the rapids. It was most comfortable, but must be a staunch and sturdy ship to stand the strain of the succeeding rushee of water, the Long Sault, the Coteau, the Cedar., the Split Rock and the last and most ter- RST—L+ia MttkHOL. 15 too good for the touring; Minnesota editors. The Grand Trunk runs on the south side of the river, and at Point Levis opposite.Quebec, the edit- ors were transferred to one of the fine ferry "boats of the Quebee & Levis Ferry Company, whose officers went to much trouble and no little incon- venience to accommodate us, showing more of that friendly spirit that marked everywhere our reception by our brethren across the line. Quebec wave us a splendid reception. Its com- mittee, headed by Mr. L. J. Demers, President Press Association of Prov- ince of Quebec, a prince of enter- tainers, showered us with attentions. A reception by His Honor, the Lieutenant -Governor, the Hon. L. A. Jette, and lunch at the parlia- ment building, a trolley ride about the city, which, it seemed, might have been dropped there out of ancient Eu- rope; a reception and address of wel- come by the mayor; an excursion down the rive?, past the Falls of Montmorency, and back to the beauti- ful home of the Hon. R. R. Dobell, where we were received, lunched and addressed. All thin made up a day never to be forgotten. And when loaded in our train of street ears, over forty broke into cheers and songs and the association yell, the thousands of citizens on the esplanade listening to the band, hurried to see and hear. It was a noisy and most enthusiastic de- parture and seemed to please our hosts, the Quebecers, as much as our- selves. Back we speed to Ottawa, the seat of government. The entertainment there had been arranged for by Mr. Will J. White, Canadian land agent, and it was like him, generous, cordial and heartsome. More than ever is he '.endeared to all Minnesota editors, for through him we -have been able to learn and know, to respect- and to honor our Canadian neighbors, and to realize a mutual and hearty friend- ship. We reached Ottawa over the Canada Atlantic Railway, which ex- tends from Montreal and Swanton, via the capitol, to the Georgian Bay, and there connects with the company's line of steamships running to Port Arthur, Duluth, the Soo and Chicago, a very important transportation line and one which offers a number of de- lightful lake and rail trips. The'Can- ada Atlantic has a fine roadbed and our train made 50 and 60 miles an hour on the run. We were placed un- der especial obligation to Mr. - E. J. Chamberlain, the . general manager, and to Mr. J. E. Walsh, the assistant general passenger agent,- for their kindness—The latter not only saw that we had all his road could do for us, but remained with us and took us in charge on the trolley ride to Alymer•. Certainly nothing could have been more flattering than our reception and entertainment at Ottawa. His wor- ship, Mayor Payment, who gave an address of welgpme, the aldermen, the press and many distinguished mem- bers of the government and of parlia- ment, showed us marked attention. At the beautiful parliament buildings, the city fire department, a model for such a city, gave . an exhibition run and received much applause for their fine work. Then came the ride to Aylmer, where, at the Victoria, a huge summer resort,' lunch was served, and address made by his wor- ship, Mayor Rainboth, and the Rev. R. F. Taylor, each extending a hearty welcome. At the Queen's park every- body "shot the chutes," and after a visit to Hull and the famous Chan- diere Falls, which it is estimated can furnish all the motive power used by the immepse factories of Ottawa's manufacturing suburb and a million horse power more, we returned to the capitol. Hull is being rapidly rebuilt but the evidences of the extent and the destruction wrought by the great fire are simply appalling. Ottawa is a beautiful city, and has more of the home feeling than any other large city we visited. In beauty of its buildings, and surroundings, also, it is not excelled by any, while nowhere was more done by prominent citizens to make us feel the warmth of their welcome. - It was, with much regret that we finally boarded our train a somewhat tired but most enthusiastic party, to start on our through homeward trip. We made a very fast run over the Canada Atlantic to the junction with the Grand Trunk, the Grand Trunk also gave us almost a record-breaking run to Chicago. We had the right of track over everything and the time we Made was startling, running often over sixty miles an hour. And here we wish to extend our especial and most sincere thanks on behalf of the Editorial Association to the Grand Trunk passenger department, from Mr. W. �E. Davis, passenger traffic manager, who replied to our first re- quest with the laconic and most grati- fying remark, "Mr. Elliott, give these gentlemen whatever . they want," and Mr. H. G. Elliott, asst general passen- ger agent, at Montreal, who, with Mr. Geo. W. Vaux, the assistant general agent at Chicago, made the arrange- ments for the trip, and Mr. G. T. Bell, general passenger agent, whose pre- sentation of our cause won Mr. Davis' approval, to Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Pease, division passenger agents, who accom- panied us while on their division, and to Mr. David. Brown, Jr., city ticket agent at Si. Paul. Mr. Brown per- sonally conducted the excursion for the road, and his help was of the ut- most value. Mr. Vaux also was with us during most of the trip, leaving nothing undone that could possibly have been desired of the road. There will always be a warm spot in the heart of each of the editorial party for th$ Grand Trunk and for its more than courteous pfficialsa, and it was with the utmost .pleasure that we learn that at the Paris Exposition the Grand Trunk's exhibit of views along its route and the advertising of its passenger department was awarded the first prize, a gold medal. And this pleasure also is increased by our ac- quaintance with Mr. Charlton, the road's advertising agent, who placed us under many personal obligations. It was indeed a glorious trip, but no impression brought back was stronger than that eastern Canada in the immediate future must have a re- markable commercial growth. All that region is prosperous. It has remark- able wealth in timber and minerals as vet little more than touched. It has a splendid farming country. It has its wonderful lake region, with of- fered gifts of health and pleasure. It has vast wealth to carry out any project. Its financial resources are enormous and its foundations on which to build commercial growth through manufacturing and transpor- tation are broad and deep. Quebec is an all the year open port for vessels of wiry size, and it and Montreal are 1,000 milesnearer the wheat fields of the northwest than is New York via Chicago. AU this tells a tale of com- mercial wonders to be, and soon to be. To see what is and what is to be, to learn the importance - of the mutual trade relations of the United States stfit Cajiada, to form a basis for intelligent study aa -to what those re- lations should be, all this, added to the mere sight-seeing, made this trip through eastern Canada one of great importance and of great value. The members of the association are deeply appreciative of substantial courtesies extended by lion: R. C. Dunn, state auditor, and Col. C. J. Monfort of the Windsor hotel of St. Paul, while the beautiful itinerary of the trip presented jointly by the Kel- logg Newspaper company, the Minne- sota Type Foundry and the American Press association was a souvenir that was keenly relished and will tong be treasured by every recipient. No less a delightful courtesy was the presen- tation of the magnificent enameled metallic badge presented to members by Mr. Will J. White in behalf of the immigration department of the Do- minion of Canada. -Its appropriate- ness was only equaled by_ its artistic and emblematic design. • On the return trip the ladies con- ceived the happy idea of a testimonial to Mr. W. J. White, the representative of the dominion government, who has accompanied the party on the entire trip. None but ladies were permitted to contribute. On reaching St. Paul a handsome and commodious travel- ing' bag with toilet utensils was pur• chased and all of the party still in the city gathered at the ladies' parlor at the Windsor hotel at 4 p. m., wher the gift was presented. Mr. White made a handsome acknowledgment, expressing his pleasure at the /cordial relations existing between the associ- • ation and himself. He not only proved a most enter- taining companion on the trip, but the committee wish to add their ver- bal testimonial to the practical one of the ladies for the assistance he ren- dered not only in planning this trip but the one to the coast two years ago. The first one never would have been undertaken but for Mr. White, and it is doubtful whether the second one could have been secured without his advice and assistance. He is a gentleman without reproach and a host without a peer. Before leaving Ottawa the party as- sembled in the corridor of the Russell house and Mr. W. J. Munro, in behalf of the association, presented President Mitchell an elegant gold watch and chain, which Mr. Mitchell accepted with hearty thanks. Charaoter In Thisbe. A man's thighs interest me in any mood and at any time. While you may get a man's character from his face, you can, if you will, get his past life from hie thigh. It is the walking beam of his locomotion, controls his paddles axil is developed in proportion to its uses. It indicates, therefore, a man's habits and his n,cde of life. If he has sat all day with oue leg lap- ped over the other, arm on chair, bead on hand, listening or studying—preach- ers, professors and all other sedenta- ries sit like this—then the thigh shrinks, the muscles droop, the bones of the ankle bulge, and the knee joints push through. If he delivers mall or collect bills or drives a pack mule ar walks a towpath, the muscles of the thigh are hauled tight like cables, the knee of knots --one big bunch just be- low the strap of his knickerbockers, should he wear them. If he carries big weights on his back —sacks of salt, as do the stevedores in Venice; or coal in gunnies, as do the coolies in Cuba, or wine casks or coffee in bags—then the calves swell abnor- mally, the thighs solidify; the lines of beauty are lost, but the lines of strength remain. c If, however, he has spent his life in the saddle, roundlug up cattle, chasing Indians, hunting bandits In Mexico, ankle and foot loose, his knees clutched tightly, hugging that other part of him, the horse, then the muscles of the thigh round out their intended lines— the most subtle in'the modulating curv- ing of the body.—F. Hopkinson Smith in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. The Sin Eater. y One of the most important figu'kes at a Gaelic funeral of the old style is the sin eater. It falls to his lot to con- sume all the sins resting on the soul of the dead, and thereby enable the latter to rest easy In bis grave. In remote Wales and the highlands of Scotland a funeral Is not always complete without this functionary. He is necessarily a poor, unfortunate per- son, for under happier circumstancei he could not be persuaded to accept the responsibility of his post, and his part In the ceremony is taken seriously by himself and everybody else. A loaf of bread and a jug of beer are laid upon the corpse. These are sym- bolic of sins committed during life. The sin eater is introduced and with much solemnity eats the bread and drinks the beer. As he is frequently a hungry man with a well developed taste for malt liquors, the part is usual- ly played with zest a little out of keep- ing with the dreadful nature of the obligation assumed, for it is firmly be- lieved that in thus eating and drinking the sin eater actually burdens his soul with the sins of the deceased.—Kansas City Independent.

He had reason to be tolerably well satistialt. till, in the midst of the prin- cipal aria, the orchestra, through some error in the copying of the score, sounded a D natural where the com- poser had written D sharp. This sub- stitution did not injure the harmony, but gave a commonplace character to the phrase, and obscured the sentiment of the composer. Mozart no sooner heard it than he started up vehemently, and, from the middle of the pit, cried out in a voice of thunder: "Will you play D sharp, you wretches?" The sensation produced in the theater may be imagined. The actors were astounded, the lady who was singing stopped short, the orchestra followed her example, and the audience, with loud exclamations, demandeR the ex- pulsion of the offender. He was ae- cordingly seized, and required .to name himself. He did so, and at the name of Mozart the clamor subsided, and s -.- was succeeded by shouts of applause from all sides. It was insisted that the opera should be recommenced. Mozart was install- ed in the orchestra, and directed the whole performance. This time the l� sharp was played in its proper place, and the musicians themselves were surprised at the superior effect pro- duced. After the opera Mozart was conducted IR triumph to his hotel. Too Meek Barns. Charles Mackay once told this story in connection with a Burns memorial: Mackay had promised to collect shil- lings for some monument to the honor of Burns, and he applied with confi- dence for a subscription to an Eng- lishman who had represented in parlia- ment for many years a certain Scot- tish borough. "No," said Mr. Fortescue Harrison. "I am no longer in parliament, and I have now much pleasure in refusing to subscribe the shilling which in former days I should have been obliged to give. What I have suffered through Burns heaven alone can tell! First, I had to praise him in the most fulsome manner, without having read his works. Then I had to learn to recite portions of bis poems by heart, and in doing so to give the verses as much as possible with a Scotch accent. 1 have had to walk without my Brat and with the rain pouring down upon my unprotected head as leader of a procession in hon- er of Burns, and under these circum- stances 1 reftjze With genuine delight to give a shilling , any smaller sum to the object you have in view." The Lastest Man. The laziest man in North America discovered himself the other evening in the swell bachelor apartments not far front Iafayette square where he Lives. He was lying on a couch in his lounging room, smoking a cigar, when the cigar went -out—that is to say, the fire at the end of the cigar depart- ed. The man raisedhimself on one arm with great effort, and snapped the messenger bell that was installed over the couch. Then he reclined and wait- ed. After about ten minutes there was a knock at the door, and a messenger boy entered. "Dijon ring, sir?" asked the boy. "Yes, sou." said the laziest man in the western hemisphere. "Just gimme a match off that table there, will your TI:s hoy handed the man on the couch a thatch and waited. The man relighted his cigar and smoked on. "D'jou want me to go somewhere, sir?" asked the boy, fidgeting. "No, that's all," said the man. "Take that half dollar on the table." Then the boy went out, grinning. That man ought to be on some gov- ernment "commission" to investigate something somewhere. — Washington Star. No Nonsense. Once in awhile there is a princess from whose lips plain words fall more readily than precious stones. One such, the wife of one of London's leading editors, figures in the "Personal Recol- lections" of H Sutherland Edwards. The editor had occasion to present a distinguished gentleman to his wife. He spoke as a husband, but he was not far wrong when he said, 'Allow me to introduce you to the most charming woman in Europe."

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1900. H. C.• Koerner was un/joubtedly. selected as the deino51 tic candidate for state treasurer on account of the similgtrity of his name to that of A. • T. Koerner, the present popular in cumbent 'of that office. This fact will undoubtedly cause J. H. Block as ' much anxiety as his pe ttliar course on the insane asylum com- mission did the people of this city and vicinity. N. S. Groff, of West St. Paul, J.'B. ,,Kelly, of Eureka, and E. E. Tuttle, of 'Ratings, are the- members of the third district republican congressional committee for Dakota County. Y. S. Aslakson, of Cannon' Falls, is chair- man, and O.R. Cushman, of North= field, secretary and treasurer. The fusion on Thursday was con- summated`by giving the populists the lieutenant governer, the railroad com- missioners, and four of the presiden- tial electors, the democrats taking the rest. So long as Lind is elected it matters little what becomes of the rest of the outfit. s• The attempt of the railroad eom- missioners to establish a new schedule of rates is a ludicrous farce. None of the roads will have anything to clo with it. and the matter will prob- ably drag along until after election and then be dropped. A veteran association of • the civil war is being* organized in Minnesota, the preliminaries being taken this !reek and' a cotnuiittec appointed to present a constitution and by-laws next year. The counties of Hennepin and Ramsey have .each four candidates upon the democratic state ticket, eight out of a possible nineteen. Albert Schaller, of this city, was nominated forcoueress at the Ydemo- cratic convention' held in Faribault yesterday. August was the hottest month on. record, 'every day being from one to sixteen. degrees above the average. Dr. A. J. Stone; of St. Paul, is the democratic candidate for congress in- the mthe fourth district. Henry Tsuelsan, of Duluth, is the democratic candidate for congress in the sixth district. Sheriff Block, the republican can- glidate for state treasurer. isn't doing his party touch good by the senseless attempt of his paper, The -Journal, to ••• get even with Lind under cover of discussing, the quality of state prison binding twine. Parties using the twine know that the charges have no foundation; and people familiar with conditions here also know that the real cause for Block's attitude • is attributable to his soreness for hay- - ing failed to secure a reappointment as trustee of hospitals for the insante. He has a personal grievance against . the governor, and 'now tries to even up by dragging it into the campaign under pretenses foreign to the object sought to be accomplished and re- gardless of the eouseeluences likely to follow this course.- The effect of this unwarranted blunder is already vis- ible and threatens to seriously effect the republican state ticket in this Vounty. Under normal 'conditions 'icollet County, with a candidate of its own`for a state office, should be good for at least five hundred major ity for the republican . ticket, but as matters now stand the party will be -lucky if it breaks even, and •it will not do that unless something is done to counteract in a measure.the bad • breaks of the former boss of this county. When a candidate for a state office openly threatens to send out his team to assist in defeating a local candidate on his own ticket, it is time that such a man be called down. Mr. Block is charged with 'this very thing, and documents to prove this assertion can be had for the asking.—Sts Peter Free Press. The man who is this year nominat- ed by the democrats of the third con- gressional district to run against J. P. Heatwole had better save the money it will cost him to get upon the ticket and to make the campaign, for Joel will come under the wire in November with a larger majority even than he had two years ago. The good people of the third district know they have all that is .required of a congressmen in Mr. Heatwole, and are content to let well enough alone—Gru,,ite Falls Jonrnal. Our third district friends are standing nobly by Congressman Heatwole for his manly position and sterling worth as a representative. Alone he stood for what was right in the Porto Rico controversy and de- serves well at the hands of his con- stitu ts.

Towering cliffs hun- dreds of feet in height impress the be- holder. In "Historical Sketches of Ke tcky" an incident is told of one of the highest of these. Jotham Stro t was hoeing corn in the bottom just opposite the ferry, when his attention was attracted by a rat- tling noise above his head. Looking up, he was staggered at seeing a man tumbling telown the fearful precipice, now touching and grasping at a twig, now at a root, without being able to check himself. Finally, with a crash- ing of limbs, he landed in the top of a buckeye tree about 50 feet above the general level of the bottom. Mr. Strout ran to the place with all haste, dreading to find a dead man and not doubting he would be terribly in- jured if,allve, for the distance the man had fallen was 170 feet, and from the last point where he had touched the rock to the top of the tree where he lodged was 45 feet. Fancy Mr. Strout's surprise, then, to and the man standing erect at the foot of the tree, feeling of his arms and body. "Are you hurt?" cried Mr. Strout. "That's what I'm trying to find out, my friend," was the answer. "It's my impression that I am alive, but rather sore." Not a bone was broken, and despite a few bruises the man seemed to be as sound as before the terrible fall. "That fellow bore a charmed lifer" was Mr. Strout's remark whenever he told the story. Leighton and the Poor Student. Of Leighton's hearty. eager helpful- ness many instances might be given. Here is one. After a certain prize day at the academy a student was passing through the first room on his way to the entrance. He looked the picture of dejection and .disappointed wretched- ness—poorly and shabbily dressed and slinking away as if he wished to pass out of the place unnoticed. Millais and Leighton, walking arm in arm, came along, pictures of prosperity. Leighton caught sight of the poor, downcast student Leaving M111als. he darted across the vestibule to him and, taking the student's arm, drew him back into the first room and made him sit down on the ottoman beside him. Putting his arm on the top of the otto- man and resting his head on his hand, Leighton began to talk as he alone could talk, pouring forth volumes of earnest, rapid utterances, as if every- thing in the world depended on his words conveying what he wanted them to convey. He went on and on. The shabby figure gradually seemed to pull itself together, and at last when they both rose he seemed to have become another creature. Leighton shook hands with him, and the youth went on his way rejoicing. It is certain that if other help than advice were needed it was given. But It was the extraordinary zest and vital- ity which Leighton put into his help which made it unlike any other. He fought every one's cause as others tight their own.—London Telegraph. Oxford's Witty Bishop. Two stories are attributed in The Railway Magazine to the witty bishop of Oxford. He was once talking to some boyd in a school and said to them: "Now, my boys, I dare say you think it's a very fine thing to be a bishop. But I assure you I'm a very busy man. I have to go about all over my diocese, and 1 haven't time to study like you have. In fact, nearly all my study has to be confined to only one book. It be- gins with a 'B.' Do you know what it is?" "The Bible, sir; the Bible," shout- ed the boys all together. "No," replied the bishop, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "It's called 'Bradshaw!' " The other story is still better. On one occasion when he alighted from the train at Wheatley, the station for Cuddesden palace, an officious porter rushed up to him and asked, "Any arti- cles In the van, my lord?" "Articles," said the bishop grimly. "Yes, 89 arti- cles." Off hurried the porter and wor- ried the guard almost out of his senses by the way he Searched the van and detained the train. Presently he came back to the bishop with a crestfallen expression of countenance. "There are only seven, my lord." "Only seven? Ah, you're a Dissenter then, I should think." Deemer to Romaase. "Swigaby hasn't a particle of ro- mance about hips." "I never thought he bad. Any sew proof of it?' "Yea He was calling on Daley Swinnerton. You know Daisy. Little thing, but full of poetry. Swigsby said he wondered where they met the first time, and Daisy in her poetical way said she guessed it was in the gloam- ing. Swigsby looked puzzled, and then what do you suppose he said?" "Give It up." "Said he guessed she was mistaken, because he couldn't recall any apart- ment house by that name."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Assisting Bis Memo.

Scientists and electricians cannot agree upon the number of electric volts that are necessary to cause a cessation of life in the human body. Some claim that an excessive shock is more likely to cause incineration rather than instantaneous death; but if- they would turn their at- tention to prolonging and increasing the pleasures of life the public would hail the result with more satisfaction. For instance, the electricity generated in a wave of laughter is, after all, the most pleasant shock, and to see a large assem- bly moved by a current of uncontrollable mirth while witnessing the performance of Fitz & Webster's new musical farce comedy A Breezy Time, places beyond dispute the fact large volts of laughter are better than volts of electricity any clay.

Broadly speaking, girls are divid into two great classes—the ones w find and the ones who lose. Meta is a girl who finds. Ownerl earrings and brooches and shirt'stu are scattered along her pathway, treating her to pick them Igo. whi ever way she strolls, and little thin like horseshoes and four leaved cloy seem to leap up in the most unlik places at the first sound of her step. "Guess what I found today?" is h regular form of greeting; so no one w surprised when the question came th day at Georgia's tea. "Oh, I don't know," said Lilian 1 dtfferentlr. "Probably a cotton ha kerchief or somebody's other glove Lilian is one of the girls who couldn find anything if they would. Posslb that's the reason she assumes the ina ner of one who wouldn't if she could Meta gave a withering glance at ti scoffer. Then she renn)ved her Lad smith hat and extracted from its crow it roll of money, --which she spread upo hyr lap. A $50, a $20 and a $10 b stared out. "Counterfeit!" gasped Lilian. "No, sir. Uncle Mac says they're a good as any' ever made.', "You didn't find theta, Meta; you' joking." protested Georgia. "No joke about it. I was walkin down Wabash avenue, and stacks o people were passing in both direction too, but suddenly there ,was an ope space about a yard square right 1 front of one, and straight in the midcl 1 of it lay this money, all rolled up. I just seemed as though the crowd part ed and everybody looked the othe way on purpose to -lett me have it." "Well, I never!" sang the chorus. "What are you going to use it for Meta?" somebody asked, but Lilian whose interest had revived wonder fully, didn't eve her time to answer. "Use it for?" she cried. "Do yo s'pose Meta would spend that money 'think of the poor woman who lost it!' "Woman, indeed!" retorted Meta. "Uncle Mac doesn't think that. 11 says there's a little pocket just insid the waist hand of his trousers whe he keeps a wad of bills—whenever h has one—and that it's the easiest thing in the world to slip. the money in bac of the pocket instead of into it. An I asked him if that ever happened t him. ,You ought to have seen .ho guilty he looked when he said. 'Ones but don't tell Elden!' That's my aunt you know. Well, we think—Uncle Mac and I—that some rich club fellow lost it and that -he'd put it to some extrava- gant use even if he had it again." "But I. can't help thinking about some poor old washerwoman who hadn't another cent in the world," murmured the blue eyed innocent. "Washerwomen without another cent are so likely to go strewing $80 rolls around!" said Meta. - "More likely 'twas a schoolteacher with her month's salary. And teaching is such nervous work!" suggested Lil- ian. "Or a fagged out woman.cierk," add- ed Georgia. • - "Well, I wouldn't take it Prom a .woman any ,sooner than you would," declared Meta. "Of course I wouldn't mind so much If It belonged to a man. But I intend to advertise it anyway." "Certainly!" exclaimed Lilian, as if she'd been thinking of that all the time. "That's the proper thing to do." • And blue eyed innocent added, "I should just use that.money for 'adver- tising every day in every paper until there wasn't a cent left." Meta pursed her lips. "Well, I'm . taking Uncle Mac's advice about this," she said. - "He says to study the papers a day or two and see if the loser ad- vertises. hen,Wafter that, he says to advertise: 'Found --Sum of money, at such a place, at such a time.' Not a word to give a false claimant any help in identifying the bills, you see. But he doesn't think I'll ever find the own- er, and, say, girls, If he shouldn't turn up, what do you say to a lake trip to- gether or some kind of a regular spree with this money?" "I couldn't enjoy it," said the right- eous Lilian. "Not unless you gave half to a hos- pital," amended another. "Oh, I don't know," dissented Geor- gia. "I think my conscience would take in a trip to Mackinac." "Good for you!" replied Meta, as she rolled up her wealth and put on her bat. "We'll spend it all for gum If we want to, Georgia, and we won't treat them, either—see if we do!" They didn't see her again for three weeks, and then she came flying In to luncheon at Lilian's with a look in her eyes as if she'd just fallen heir to a million in gold. - "I've had the loveliest experience in the world!" she announced, "You re- member that money I found? . Well, I waited a few days, as Uncle Mac said, and no one advertised the loss; so I put one in myself. Told them to address X, the newspaper office, you know— the way they do. Next morning I went down to get the returns. There were nine answers, and of all the pa- thetic things! Not one of the people who wrote had lost their money on the day or at the place I found mine, but they were just as hopeful, for all that, and they actually made me 'feel re- sponsible for their losses. ?First there was a man who bad dropped a small, flat, black book, Ith a pawn ticket, a laundry hill and two 112 bilis in it. And distressed over it! You'd think he'd lost a gold mine. And he was so sure 'twas his money I'd hound —poor fellow! Then a woman ed ho ass ds en- ch- gs ers ely er as at n- nd- 't ly n- to y - n n ill s t•� g 9, n n e t r u e e re e k d 0 w • poured, out a whole sbeetful of her heart, and drew a picture of the purse she'd lost, and told me how the money in it belonged to her sister, who was In the hospital and who needed it dread- fully, and how I'd be blessed forever if I only restored It. Next there was an old man who bad dropped two in) bills, and he went on in a shaky, feeble hand to explain that the reason he was carrying it was because he couldn't trust the banks; and then another girl, who told about an alligat- or skin pocketbook containing a latch- key and a time pass over the Cincinna- ti, Jackson and Mackinac road. When I showed that to Uncle Mac afterward he said that road was a regular joke, because it didn't run to any of the places mentioned in its name, and be just shouted over the pass, because it had expired Sept. 30, 1897. But it wasn't funny to me. I thought the girl must be In a sad way to be hanging on to an expired pass over a road like that for three whole years. Besides, she mentioned in a postscript that there was a $5 bill in her purse. "I got awfully worked up over these letters. Then, suddenly, I had a bril- liant Idea. I just made up my mind to wait a week and then, if no one claim- ed that $80, to send for all those forlorn people and Hay them whah`they had lost out of what I had found. I didn't dare tell Uncle Mac the scheme until the week had parsed and I had really written notifying them all to be at his office at 10 o'clock this morning. Then I just gave him the news all In one piece. I 'isn't believe in breaking things, especially when you've set your heart on doing them. "Oh, he thought I was crazy, of course, and wished he'd answered my 'ad.' himself and claimed the money. Said he could stave done it through some one else so I would never have suspected, and then could have kept the money for me until this fit of sentimental foolishness hadP assed off —and all that sort of talk. But the end of it was that he took a chair over by the window in his office and let me have things all my own way with the people I had sent for. They all came, mind you, and of all the surprised look- ing beings! Each one was expecting to find the identical purse he bad lost, and at first every one looked suspicious of every one else. They couldn't seem to grasp the situation. "I had the money all changed into the right amounts and lying In tempt- ing little heaps on Uncle Mac's desk. First I made a little speech and then I served gold and silver refreshments. It took every cent of the money, and I had to put in a dollar besides, so there goes our gum, Georgia. But you wouldn't grudge it if you'd been there. Such larks! I never felt so much like a beneficent fairy in my life. Oh, dear, fun! Vaudevilles are nowhere. And say, the man who lost the pawu ticket will never get over his grudge against me because I couldn't give that back. He thinks Eve lost him a fortune! But the rest were more than sweet. Girls, I've been blessed and hugged, and the old man with the two $20 goldpfeces actually kissed my band. Think of that, will you? And the woman with the sister In the hospital was so happy! And I cried. Me crying—can you see It?' Anel Uncle Nino noodn't pretend be wasn't wiping his own eyes either. But when they were gone he squared around at me, stern as stern, and said in a disgusted way: "'Well, of all the glrly girly per- formances!' "I looked straight back at him and just said: 'How would you have asgirl, Uncle Mac, If not glrly? Do you want me manny?' And, honest fact, he didn't know a single thing what to say."—Chicago Record. The Installation. The day on which I was installed in my present charge I was requested to address the Sunday school. I attempt- ed to make plain to the children the idea of installation. In doing so I re- lated this anecdote: A congregation has called a new minister. His stallatlon is announced for a certain Sunday. Coming home from church a boy who evidently has listened to the announcement very attentively, asks his father: "Father, wlmt do they do when they install a minister? Do they put him in a stall?" "No," replies the latter, "they hitch him to a congre- gation and make him pull." A little girl had evidently not seen the point in this, for when she got hone she told her mother—the mother I related this to me afterward—that alae wanted to go to church that evening. My installation was to take place In the evening. "What for, my dear? You never go to church in the evening." "Well, but the minister said we should come, and then I want to see it, too." "What do you want to see?" "Don't you know, mamma?" "No. What do you mean?" "Why, they are going to hitch the minister to a cart and make him pull it around the church."— Homiletic Review. THE SHIRT WAIST MAN. Has He Come to Stay or Is Ile but a Passing' Wave of Fashion! "Not only!n New York,butin all the other large cities and even at the sum- mer resorts, the question of sticking to the conventional coat or casting it aside in favor, of the cool and comforta- ble negligee shirt is being actively dis- cussed, says the New York Herald in a resume of the situation, in which occur the following Items: It goes without saying that a man who presumes to cast aside his coat in any place where people congregate must wear a negligee shirt with either a white turndown collar or an attached collar of the same material as the shirt. The old fashioned "biled" shirt, with its stiff bosom and free and easy way of opening in the back. would nevgr do at all. Nor is the stand up collar, which reveals the uncertain progress of the tie for the entire distance around the neckband, more permissible. Sus- penders of course arc absolutely ta- booed. The unfortunate man whose physical conformation makes it impos- sible for him to hold up his trousers by mans of a belt cannot hope to adopt the new custom. This matter of a proper junction be- tween shirt and trousers is indeed the nicest point that the shirt waist elan Is sailed upon to consider. Properly, no buttons should show on the outside of his trousers band. MIs belt, which should be of fairly generous width, must pass through loops on the trou- sers, so arranged that the top of the belt is flush with the waist line of the trousers. To be de rigueur no part of the trousers should be allowed to show above the belt. Although It is scarcely a month since the first shirt waist man to appear in New York walked down Broadway calmly oblivious of the inquisitive glances "turned upon hila, one need on- ly look about to be conv lnced that the costume has gained many adherents. On the streets, especially in the down town office district, the shirt waist man A SHIRT WAIST MAN is too numerous to attract special at- tention. In the restaurants of this quarter which sten alone? patronize he is by 010 means an uncommon figure. It is likely that within anotherutont1 coatless men if correctly garbed In ev ery particular will be served withou question Ins all the eating places re stricted to male patronage. Rapid as has been the progress of the reform in New York, it has gone eve; farther in some tstlyhr cities. In Eialti more, for example, the costume is so far recognized that the fashionable young women have countenanced It and are willing to receive calls from their male friends or to accompany them to public places In these hot Mid- summer evenings without questioning the absence of coats. The ancient and honorable city of Boston, which takes all matters of cul- ture and fashion seriously, seems to be fully reconciled to the shirt waist man. Indeed he may be said to have been welcomed there almost without ques- tion. While the number of men with courage enough to walk along Wash- ngton street without coats in their possession has not reached formidable proportions, thousands daily go half way and carry their coats over their arms in indication that they are ready to relinquish them on the slightest en- couragement. Careful investigation in the principal cities and summer resorts shows that as a rule the young men bail the pro- posed change with delight, while their elders, presumably more conservative, regard it with slight favor. The most hardened objectors to the new style seem to be the proprietors of theaters, restaurants and other places of public entertainment. In most of these places there are rules, written or unwritten, against serving men without coats, and instances are multiplying daily of the ejection of men from such places be- cause of their departure from the es- tablished custom. Up to the present time the shirt waist man's efforts to invade the thea- ters have been generally unsuccessful. Her Last Drink, In Hyde Park lives a young matron who 1s of such a high nervous tempera- ment that If she drinks the very small- est amount of alcoholic stimulant be- fore going to bed the result Is sleepless- ness for the remainder of the night. Some nights ago a number of Mends dropped in for the evening, and the husband, who, by the way, 1s a south- erner, suggested that he make a mint julep for each of the company. The suggestion was received with delight, and the juleps were promptly mixed. In his wife's glass, however, he put only enough whisky to flavor the water, probably not more than a tea- spoonful- Of this she sipped about half. The result, however, was the same. She was troubled with Insomnia all night long, and it was not until 5 o'clock in the morning that she drop- ped off to sleep and, as a conse- quence, was not called for breakfast. At 10 o'clock she came down stairs and hearing the voices of children on the front porch stopped to listen. Her heart filled with motherly pride as she heard her elder son, a boy of 0, telling seven or elk t children from the neigh- borhood thal they must not make too much noise as his mamma was asleep. Imagine her horror, too, as the young hopeful added: "She drank so much whisky last night that she couldn't come down to breakfast this morning."—Kansas City Star - A -Chinese Story. M. Monter, the well known French Asiatic traveler, vouches for the truth of the following story o[ how his friend- Hop Sing, a traveled oriental and man of means and refinement, was on one occasion sorely victimized. Hop Sing lived in the street of the roasted corn, es unsavory and as ill paved a street as -any in all Peking. The local mandarin was an intimate friend of his, and Hop Sing availed himself of this friendship to saint the mandarin grin P to have the street repaved. Certainly. At once, The men would be at work on It before Hop Sing had returned hone. A week passed, then another visit, and so on, uutll, in despair, Hop Sing determined to have the street re- paired at his own expense. The work was satisfactorily completed. The surprise of Hop Sing was only equaled by his indignation when, on awaking one morning, he found a gang of coolies upheaving the newly flagged street. His surprise grew when he heard from the mandarin's own lips that the men were there at his orders. "You see, my dear friend," said the mandarin, "I ant expecting the bead inspector round here in a few days. Now, if he were to see the beautiful pavement you have laid down in your street he would come to the conclusion that there was money about, and he would assuredly bleed every vein in my body. This would mean my ruin. Don't you see why your pavement really must come up? It cost me one fortune to secure my post. I don't want to spend another in keeping it." Thoreau',, Mother's Gh t, "Besides Thoreau and his mo er, the house (at Coucord) has had fol its oc- cupants A. Bronson AEeott andfly, including his distinguished daug n r, Louisa M., the author," writes Samuel S. Kingdon in The Ladies' Home Jour- nal. "To them sometimes came the ghost of Mme. Thoreau. Those wlio know Mme. Thoreau and her habits confirm► the description given by a servant, who left the house because of the visltatiou, in every detail; her tall, gaunt figure, her big, white cap, her stealthy step, her quiet comings, her 1 noiseless goings. t i "When seen, she invariably stood in the doorway, ber great cap well ad- justed, her n t handkerchief, half un- folded, tuck securely tato the waist- ) band of full dress skirt—pausing a • momen on the threshold, looking anx= lously about, then stooping -and run- ing her finger along the edge of the mopboard, to see if perchance a speck of dust had found lodgment there. Proceeding to the workroom, she glanc- ed in. then glided to the fireplhce, stooping Aver It and motioning with her hands as if in the act of covering the coals with ashes. "In life, it should be said, the two prominent characteristics of Mme. Thoreau were an abhorrence of dust and a dread of file. Satisfied on these points, the spirit would disappear. Un- like other ghosts, this one always ap- peared in the daytime." smudges. A curious bit of adaptation to cir- cumstances may be seen In summer among the cattle of the swamp lands along the Mississippi. From July to mid September blood sucking insects— mosquitoes, flies, gnats and so on—are so bad there cattle are sometimes in danger of their lives. So are people, unless they, make smudges—that is to say, fires so thickly smothered that they fill the air with clouds of smoke— and thus drive away the pests. The cattle soon learn the use ,and valve of the smudges. The 'Track Foreman. The track foreman actually accounts for a greater proportion of the rail- road's expenditures than any other em- ployee, because the greatest cost of railroading is in the roadbed, and its equipment and the expense of main- taining it. The track foreman is in fact an important employee, but about the only time a passenger ever sees his sunburned face is while he is being whisked by between stations at 00 miles an hour.—New York Sun, A True Picture.

How many know that bacon should be thoroughly chilled just before cook- ing if it is to be crisp. asks Table Talk. To serve It in thin, crisp curls it is wis- est to cut 1t, at home. Have a sharp knife and shave it as thinly as possi- ble, then lay on ice or in ice water until very firm. Have the pan very hot, drain the slices for a moment, then lay in the pan. They will curl up almost instantly and should be rolled over with a fork until evenly colored. In three minutes they will be done. The Smith Family. The Smiths are everywhere.

It was a titan trick, but, then, that is the kind That's usually successful. "That dog," said the owner "will bring me anything I send him f , and I am willing to bet on it." Straightway a bet was arranged, and then the manager of the billiard hall suggested that he would like to have the pool table brought to him. "Certainly," answered the owner of the dog, and he pointed to the table and said, "Fetch ft!" The dog raced around It once or twice and then grabbed a pocket and tore it off. "Hold on!" cried the billiard man. "He'll ruin the table." "Of course." answered the owner of the dog, 'ut if you give him time he'll get It all over here.

One day when calling'upon Gambet- ta I found him vastly amused over a visit which he had received a few minutes previously from the late Gen- eral Meredith Read, who for a number of gears was United States envoy at Athens. Then general, who until that time had been a perfect stranger to the great French statesman, had entered the latter's present , carrying in his hand a volume entitled "Men of the Time," or some,work of the kind.

Then, and not until then, did he ex- tend his hand to the great tribune, who, having meanwhile risen from his chair, expressed his pleasure at mak- ing the acquaintance of so distinguish- ed an officer, who had rendered such valuable services to the United States, Gambetta informed me that in the whole of his long experience of public life he had never known a lean to intro- duce himself in so delightfully original a manner.—Critic, "" "'Re Flaveur Del'cat," At one of bis famous little dinners a prominent professional man of Wash- ington was greatly pleased with the salad, as were also his guests. Evi- dently It was partly meat and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new, (lis - tinct and undeterminable. This was so faint that one guest declared "It's not a taste at all, only a smell." At length some one suggested that the chef be asked for the recipe, upon which the host remarked: "My man greatly dislikes being asked for recipes. On this occasion, however, his vanity may overcome hint if we tell how greatly we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad in particular. At any rate, we'll see."

He had dpne many generous things, and the pope had rewarded him with or- ilere and medals galore. For once a year this convert made a pilgrimage to Rome, where he was kindly received by the holy father as a son and gener- ally, until the orders were exhausted, each 'time was bestowed with some fresh honor. On such occasions all these brave metal pieces were attached to the rich American's breast. "I'll soon end that," the pope remark- ed to a confidante who was at his side during the levee. "Next time I shall give him a snuffbox," which he did, and a beautiful jeweled bole It was. The following year the American turned up again and was granted an audience, when to the holy father's consternation the faithful son of the church appeared not only with all his medals, but with the snuffbox attached to his waistcoat. "The next time," the pope said, with ,a comical sigh, "I shall present him with a marble topped table. It is the only thing I can think of tha` be can't tie to his waistcoat."—Chicagc Times Herald. The Dogekin Wouldn't Go Round. Hungary swarms with barristers. It is the greatest ambition of the Hun- garian peasant to make one of his sons an advocate: The son of a small farmer in the neighborhood of Budapest was sent by his father to the law school of that town, but, either from lack of parts or the necessary application,' .he was plucked in the qualifying etamina- tion. Not daring to return to the paternal abode empty handed after all the money that had been spent on his edu- cation, be conceived and executed the plan of forging a legal diploma. The father was not, however, so ignorant as not to be aware that such diplomas are always written on parcbment— kutya-ber (dogskin)—En Hungary. "Why is your certificate not made out on kutya-ber Y' asked the old man. "The fact is, father," coolly replied the youth, "there are more barristers than dogs in Hungary, and so there is not enough kutya-ber to make diplo- mas for us all."—London Answers. The Too Liberal rue of Salt. Salt draws the juices from beef in corning, toughens the Ober, makes it very indigestible and less nutritious. On cucumbers it draws out the water, toughens the fiber and renders them very indigestible. Salt acts in exactly the same way on fish as on meat. There are two ways of considering these changes. I would hardly say that salt destroys the food value, al- though it robs the flesh of part of its food value by making it less digestible. —Mrs. S. T. Rorer in Ladies' Holme Journal. The Other Way.

Cleaning White Laces. Lace is now so much used that it is well to know how to clean it. Cover a large bottle with a linen case made to fit tightly. Roll the lace around it, tak- ing care that the edge is kept smooth and that the bead of the succeeding round covers it. Tack the lace in the slightest possible manner and without any knots. When the lace is rolled round the bottle, cover it tightly with linen. Then make a strong lather of good white -soap and let the lace cover- ed bottle remain in this for a night, Then rinse it well by pouring watr over it. If possible, expose this bottle to the air, watering It frequently, and let it dry thoroughly before opening it. Do not on any account use hot water,, as it destroys the look of newness. To iron the lace unwind from the bottle and spread it out, then place it on ironing blanket covered with a p1 a of linen and place over it a piece clean white muslin:'�, Pass the it gently over the muslin,'but do not t the iron, c in contact with the la .

The award of the grand prize to Can- ada for her forestry exhibit at the Par- is exposition was not unexpected, says an Ottawa correspondent of the New York Sun. The exhibit is a collective one from the whole Dominion, and it occupies little more than 1,000 square feet of space. It is made up of a very complete representation of the Cana- dian woods, with the principal articles exported from Canada In a senilmanu- teetered form. Of the 121 species of trees indigenous to Canada 26 are in- cluded in the exhibit, the reinainder being of small economic value or of rare occurrence. No other country Is so rich in forests, and it is not sur- prising that the Canadian authorities bent all their energies in making this exhibit complete in order to demon- strate to the world this principal source of Canada's wealth. Much attention was given in the en- deavor to impress the European paper manufacturer with the Importance of the pulp forests and pulp industries of the Dominion. This line of enterprise is so new as not only to be of special interest to ailch visitors at the French capital, but its vast possibilities for this country are as yet just beginning to be appreciated by Canadians. Care- fully prepared statistics and infortha- tion upon this subject have been col- lated and printed by the government for distribution from the Canadian section at the exposition. The Dominion census of 1881 first mentions pulp mills, but it was merely the beginning of the Canadian pulp and fiber industry. There are now 35 im- portant pulp and fiber mills, some of the latest established being on a gigan- tic scale, the largest having a capacity of 250 tons of pulp a day. The total output of th9se mills is now about 1,100 tons per day. and the capital invested in the Industry is between $15000,000 and $20,000,000, a consldeltiable propor- tion of which is from the United States. This development ras been due to a specially favorable combination of cir- cumstances. Not only is Canadian pulp spruce of exceptionally good quality for paper manufacture, but the forests are the largest in the world, compara- tively easy of access and possess abun- dant water power. The supply in Can- ada Is virtually unlimited. and the area of growth may be regarded as al- most conterminus with the geographic- al boundaries of the Dominion. From the Labrador peninsula on the east and along the northern shores of the. St. Lawrence the spruce grows abundant- ly and extends over that great triangle between Hudson bay and the Atlantic. Ontario has an abundance .of pulp spruce, and it stretches northward al- most to where the Mackenzie river flows into the Arctic ocean. On the Pacific coast. along the mountainous bays of British Columbia, the spruce is found more abundantly as exploration 1s pushed forward. The Douglas fir, although partaking more of the nature of balsam than spruce, is a good pulp wood. and the trees, towering 250 feet in the air and measuring from 30 to 50 feet in circumference at the ground, have made the timber of the coast fa- mous. Adinatable to Any Weather. The immense cost to street car com- panies of providing separate cars for summer and winter use has led a cou- ple of Indiana men to design an ad- justable car, says the Pittsburg Dis- patch. The car Is egg shape, and the ribs at the sides and ends are slotted on either side to provide runways. for SUMMER „ ' ' II TRR STRM T ("AR. the curved sections of wood or metal which close the car. The roof of the car is of double thickness, with Dockets in line with the ribs forming exten- sions of the curved sides. In the center of the roof 1s arranged a series of pul- leys with cables attached to the upper edges of the sliding sections, the oppo- site ends of the ropes being wound on a shaft, thus enabling the conductor to open and close the car by turning a crank on the shaft. When the cables are unwound, the sides will slide down- ward of their own accord until connec- tion is made with the floor, the curva- ture of the sides allowing the passen- gers to sit close to the ends of the seats without interfering with the work of altering the car. Like Sea Serpents. From time to time reports come of strange animals being seen at sea, and while these reports have generally been scouted as sailors' yarns recent investi- gations show that they may be true. There are well authenticated cases where a creature known as the "eel shark bas been seen, a seeming sea serpent 40 feet long or so.

A Strange D18ease and Its Cure by Hypnotic S 'geation, In a recent issue of the Edinburgh Medical Journal Dr. C. L. Tuckey gives an account of a case of agoraphobia, a rare nervous disease, which' he suc- ceeded in completely curing 1st hyp- notic suggestion. The chief sytaptom in this remarkable complaint is an almost insane fear of large open spaces, such as parks,vffields, theaters, churches and any places where crowds congregate. The patient, a young lady, aged 26 - years, who was strong and healthy afid of robust physique, had .noticed for about two years that she felt nervous in church and uncomforta- ble in shops. This feeling increased until she became unable to enter any croivded building and very averse to going out alone. She was given bro- mides and tonics and ordered rest from work. These methods were not successful, and she was ste81l1y grow- ing worse when hypnotism was sug- gested. The Nancy method was adopt- ed. She passed into the somnambu- listic stage at the second sitting, and suggestions were then made to combat her morbid fears. She was strongly assured that she would gain confidence and be able to go about as before and to attend church on Sundays. She be- gan to show improvement after this and after two weeks' treatment re- turned to her school work and contin- ues well. The symptoms which she had before experienced when In a crowded building, spch as faintness, giddiness, palpitation of the heart and a stifling sensation at the cheat, with it ,`vague terror which she could not control, had entirely disappeared. Fruit Said to 'Cure Goat. While the vegetarian regards meat as a poison, the frutarian looks with no enthusiastic eye upon the Lenten fare of the vegetarian, says the ,Lon- don Globe. To him uncooked fruit is the only natural food, and, though but a small body, men do exist in this cold country who eat nothing but fruit. For a long time they have found their chief opponents in medical men, who affirm that for gouty patients fruit is dangerous, some even asserting that fruit may actually engender gout. Now, however, a little ray of sun- shine penetrates the gloom where they sit in glorious isolation cracking nuts and chewing raisins with all the sylvan simplicity of monkeys. A medical ma1T has arisen to declare that he bas fre- quently cured gout with grapes and oranges. Further than this, he de- clares that his standing advice to gouty friends is. "Eat plenty of fresh, ripe, uncooked fruit." But while the "tend- ency" of fruit is to get rid of gout al- together, It - seems that severe gouty - headaches and bilious attacks may be caused by eating It, particularly by pa- tients who have long ago shut the tempting apple and pear from their regimen. There, though the frutarlans wax bolder for this medical testimony, the gouty would be wise to take their fruit sparingly at first and not by any means make it their one and only form of sustenance. It is, at any rate. In- teresting to find that medical men are beginning to look with kindlier eyes on fruit, but at present it would prob• - ably be difficult to encounter two 'doe - tors agreeing over one suffering gouty person that his salvation lay in a fruit diet. • Ammonia as a Fire Quencher. Some interesting instances of the power of ammonia as a quencher of fires were given in a recent article, says The National Druggist. In one in- stance, says the writer, where fire had originated, probably from spontaneous ' combustion, in a pile containing several tons of cottonseed and the interior of which was almost a solid body of live coal a half gallon of ammonia com- pletely smothered the fire. In another which occurred in Savenay, France, the vapors of a tank containing 50 gal- . lons of gasoline caught fire in the linen room of a laundry. The room Was in- stantly a mass of flames, but a gallon and a half of ammonia water thrown into It completely and almost imme- diately extinguished the fire. The atm - monis was in a glass demijohn in an apothecary's shop next door to the. laundry and was thrown into the room by the druggist as an experiment. To use his own words in reporting the cir- cumstance: "The effect was instanta- neous. Torrents of black smoke rolled upward in place of flames, and in a mo- ment every trace of fire was gone. So completely was the fire extinguished that workmen were enabled to enter the room almost immediately, where they found the iron tank of gasoline in- tact.' Ball Bearings For Street Cars. Street cars to run with the ease of bicycles! This is the latest improve- ment in trasit service, and the Union Traction company of this city is now experimenting with the new arrange- ment, which consists of an applica- tion of ball bearing axles. To use the contrivance it is not necessary to have a specially built car, as it can be ap- plied to any axle. The idea is still in its infancy, and, although the Traction company is making comparative estimates by the use of electric meters on the new and several of the old cars, no data are as yet prepared. Those who have seen the ball bearing ear In motion say that It moves almost noiselessly and that even railroad crossings fail to jar it in the least. — Philadelphia Tele- graph.

EFFORTS TO INTRODUCE THE TILII IN 7HE EASTERN MARKET, The fish merchants are just now in- terested in the introduction of the tile - fish, says the Boston Globe. Recently the United States fish com- missioners' schooner Grampus while" fishing on the edge of the gulf stream caught a large number of these fish and cwled them to Wood's Boll- Pro- fessor -Bumpus, in charge of the gov- ernment aquarium there, shipped two barrels of the fish to F. F. Dimick, sec- retary of the Boston fish bureau, for distri ution among the local dealers. A. Rich, chairman of the fish deal- ers' mmitr4 and one of the most prominent dealers, became especially interested. He had several of the fish prepared in different styles and invited the other dealers and experts to.pass upon, them. They all pronounced them very palatable and were surprised at TILEFISH. the similarity between them and bass. The fish weigh from 2 to 20 pounds, and their meat is hard and firm. One of the dealers in speaking of the tilefish and the possibility of its being placed on the market said that exten- sive as our list of edible fish is at pres- ent the public will gladly welcome any- thing new. He believed that the tile- flsh if It could be introduced would be classed as fancy fish and would sell for 15 cents per pound. The great dif- ficulty is the distance the fishermen would have to go to catch then. Captain J. W. Collins. who has writ- ten an Interesting history of the tile- flsh, says that It has many peculiarities of its own and even to the casual ob- server presents features which differ essentially from those possessed by any other species. It has a general re- semblance to the dolphin, the body be- ing well formed, quite stout at the tall, like the salmon, and the general make up of the fish indicates that it is a rap - Id n•id active swimmer, well fitted to pursue and capture its food or to es- cape from its enemies. Its distinguishing characteristics, however, are the nuchal crest or adi- pose dorsal fin just in front of the spi- nous dorsal and the peculiarcolorwhich It exhibits, being so profusely spotted with patches of greenish yellow that it received the name of "leopard fish" from the fishermen who were the first to capture it. The tileflsh when caught on hand lines are fully as active as cod in their movements. When caught on trawl ' lines, they are said to exhibit less ac- tivity than the cod. The Medal] were first discovered about 1880, but were supposed to have become extinct in 1882. The action of the fish commission in sending' the fish here is warmly com- mended byfhe dealers. Boston Is con- sidered the most important fish market in the country, and it was probably on this account that the_fishwere sent here for examination and triaL . 8eteatiao Mind Cure. Most physicians recognize the influ- ence of the mind on the body and use it when they are able to do so, says The Literary Digest. The trouble is that such influence must usually be secur- ed by indirection of some kind, either by an acted lie, as when bread pills are administered, or by the aid of some variety of credulity or superstition. In an article In La Science Francalse, M. Gabriel Prevost advocates what he calls the education of the will, so that each person so trained may have pow- er within himself to exert on his own body the influence of his mind, so far as it may be exerted at all. This would seem to be a modified form of Christian Science, divested of what the opponents of that cult call its absurdi- ties and anomalies. M. Prevost, how- ever, does not propose any system of will training, and so those persons who have ready made systems, no matter how objectionable to the scientific mind,, will doubtless continue for the present to hold the field in what psy- chologists insist Is merely treatment by auto suggestion. Heatstroke and Sunstroke. The discovery of a distinction be- tween heatstroke and sunstroke is claimed by Dr. Moussoir, a French naval surgeon, who believes that a con- siderable saving of life should follow. Heatstroke, he affirms, results from prolonged exposure of the whole body to moist or dry heat exceeding 104 de- grees Fahrenheit, and its i11 effects are due to the action of the superheated blood. Sunstroke, instead of being caused by high temperature, is induced by chemical rays from Intense sunlight falling on the cranium. It can occur only in the tropics, and the immunity of blacks is explained by the fact that a dark skin or other dark substance almost completely stops the passage of chemical rays,—Invention.

When they are moored, there is the burning question of bilge water. I will not discourse on the subject of bilge water, as inexperience tllkreof might make the explanation _Weari- some. Any one acquainted with the bilge water question knows it 14 of en- grossing interest. Bilge is a prince among smells, and 1f you have ever fallen under its power you will atways think that every terrific thing in smells is a manifestation of bilge water. I remember on one occasion when on board a moored hulk, not a hospital ship, smelling in the evening some- thing that called for mention, so I mentioned it. "Oh," said my com- panions, more under the sway of bilge water than I was, from, their greater knowledge of its power, "it's only our bilge water." In the morning we found it was the rotting carcass of an ele- phant that had floated down the river and now hung in the mooring chain. After a considerable time was spent in getting rid of the carcass I said, "For goodness' sake, gentlemen, stir up your bilge water, and let the smells fight it out together while we go ashore for a spell." "No," said my companions, terror stricken at the sug- gestion. "You do pot know our bilge water when Its back's up. It would stretch you if you were half way across Africa. This elephant is mere lavender water to it." This was a more dreadful bilge water than a hospital ship would have. Still, though bad, bilge water is not neces- sarily fatal under proper management. —Chambers' Journal. A Historic Die, On the desk of the secretary of ono of the oldest copper manufacturing firms in this city Is a steel die which has served as a paperweight for 35 years, and the coins struck off by it are now, for the most part, in the hands of collectors. This die was used for strik- ing copper tokens which symbolized the contest between President Andrew Jackson and the old United States bank of Philadelphia In 1832. The engraving on the die represents President Jack- son, sword in hand and apparently standing in a money chest. Around the central figure is stamped Jackson's ex- pression, "I take the, responsibility," which arose out of ills controversies with the bank. When this die was made, the prede- cessors of the present company not only manufactured copper wire, but also made a special feature of copper coins, chiefly for South American coun- tries wild for private business firms which made a practice of Issuing their own copper coins to be redeemed by them afterward. During the civil war and just preceding it many private cor- porations issued tokens which circu- lated as pennies, and some of them art now worth a great many times their original value to collectors.—New York Sun. Paid His Debt, When Joe Chamberlain entered the house of commons, he was anxious to try his oratorical powers. A certain leading politician, who was piloting a bill through the house, was approached by one of Mr. Chamberlain's friends, who said: "Chamberlain would like to speak on the bill. Can you give hint a chance?" "Well, you know, I think it would not do. He's a new member, and no- body knows what the dickens he might say.,, Time went on. Chamberlain gained ground—became a power in parlia- ment. The leading politician, on the contrary, had made a series of blunders which had imperiled his position. An election was Imminent. Forgetting his previous record, be thought that if he could get Mr. Chamberlain to speak for him he would strengthen his position. He, therefore, applied to the right hon- orable gentleman. The latter calmly surveyed him through his eyeglass and said: "Well, you know, I think it would not do. I am a new member, and no- body knows what the dickens I might say!" Chinese Porcelain. Chinese -porcelain was common in Europe for 400 years before a German potter succeeded in finding out the process of making it This Chinese pottery is scattered all over the world and everywhere valued, but nowhere was the distribution more curious than in western Canada. Early in the nine- teenth century a Chinese junk was cast away on the Pacific coast of America just south of Vancouver Island, and its cargo of willow pattern plates fell into the hands of the Hudson Bay compa- ny's officers. Still in the remotest trad- ing posts of the fur traders a few fine specimens remain. Wanted His Full Share.

Snake Burglar Alarm. One of our correspondents tells a sto- ry of a tame snake that was so intel- ligent that one night, whlle it was roaming about the house of its owner, it caught a burglar in the dining room. The snake coiled itself around the legs of the burglar and with its tail reached a bell on the dining room table and, ringing it vigorously, alarmed the household, redulting in the capture of the burglar.—Bradford Star. UNIQUE ELECTRIC ROAD. An Innovation In Trolley Practice Attempted In Switzerland. All of the electric motors on trolley cars In America are of the direct cur- rent type, says the New York Tribune. In a few shops, however, alternating current motors have recently been em- ployed to drive machinery, and this in- novation has led to a good deal of talk about applying the same system to trac- tion work. If alternating current motors would show themselves suited to the operation of trolley cars, it would be felt that an important gain had been effected. Where the power for a road is generated at a considerable distance from the line, as Is the case in Buffalo, whose supply is drawn from Niagara, it is customary to employ an alternat- ing current for transmission purposes and then at the scene of action convert the current Into a direct one. That con-. version, however, involves a slight loss of energy and calls for the use of an additional appliance. There would be a double economy therefore if the al- ternating current could be led right in- to the ear motor. Without going into the technicalities of the matter, it may be remarked that until Tesla invented what is known as the "polyphase" motor it was hard to utilize an alternating current for power purposes, however satisfactory it might be for illumination. But ever since the polyphase motor showed that it would work well in shops electricians have wafted impatiently to see it tried on railway cars. Such a venture has just been made in Switzerland, and if it is not the very first one of the kind it Is certainly a pioneer enterprise. Pyrenean Dwarfs. Professor Miguel Marazta has report- ed a curious anthropological discovery in the valley of Rebas, at the end of the eastern Pyrenees. He says: "There exists in this district a some- what numerous group of people who are called Nanas (dwarfs) by the other inhabitants and as a matter of fact are not more than four feet In height.` Their bodies are fairly well built, hands and feet small, shoulders and hips broad, making them appear more robust than they really are. "Their features are so peculiar that there is no mistaking them among oth- ers. All have red hair. The' face is as broad as long, with high cheek bones, strongly developed jaws and flat noses. The eyes are not horizontal, but some- what oblique, like those of Tartars and Chinese. A few straggling, weak hairs are found in place of beard. The skin is pale and flabby. Men and women are so much alike that the sex can only be told from the clothing. "Though the mouth is large, the lips do not quite cover the large, project- ing incisors. The Nanas, who are the butt of the other inhabitants, live en- tirely by themselves in Rebas: They intermarry among themselves, so that their peculiarities continue to be repro- duced. "Entirely without education and with- out any chance of improving their con- dition, they lead the life of pariahs. Tl:iey know their own names, but rare- ly remember those of their parents, can hardly tell where they live and have no idea of numbers." Cure by Silence. What do you think of the idea that invalids may gain strength in silence? I believe in it emphatically, says a writer in Health. If I were a physi- cian. I would_prescribe frequent doses of silence, especially to those who are excitable or nervously exhausted. To sit or lie in a perfectly easy position, with the muscles all relaxed, the eyes closed and the mind fixed on the most silent and remote place that can be im- agined—say the top of a lofty moun- tain overlooking miles of pine forest, where the cry of a bird would be star- tling—o: to picture In fancy the bound- less plains or to think of the cool quiet of mountain caves to fix the mind for a season upon anything that suggests infinite power and unbroken stillness is to absorb something of nature's strength and calm and make a genuine and permanent gain in the effort to recover health. There is hardly an invalid who would not realize benefit from the practice of going into silence at regular periods each day. But the thoughts must not be allowed to drift and meander help- lessly about That is a most exhaust- ing process. The secret is to keep the mind steadily, if only for a short time, upon the one subject—that of infinite stillness and repose. You think that is easy enough, I hope you will perse- vere in the practice until It becomes so. I guarantee that it will be time profitably spent. Headache From Eye Strain. Casey A. Wood says that the site of the ocular headache In the order of frequency is, first, the supra orbital; second, the deep orbital; third, the fronto occipital, and, fourth, the tem- poral. The character of the pain Is more likely to be dull and heavy than very acute. The exciting causes are tasks which require the use of the ac- commodation and convergence. read- ing, writing, drawing, painting, types writing, sewing, music, card playing, billiards, shopping, riding in trains and street cars, etc. Long sighted people suffer more from headache than the short sighted.

DEFECTIVE PAGE Uare8ok and Murphy. Conferring the "freedom of the play- house" on playwrights andmen of let- ters was common in Garrick's day, and without doubt the good natured man- ager was often pestered for the same favor by persons who had 110 such claim. It was evidently Garrick's cus- tom to give tickets of admission, per- m�shent orders, to those whom he de - to honor. It is regorded that the Irish writer, Murphy, annoyed at what be thought 111 treatment or neglect, re- turned the ticket with the words, "As I de not foresee any further occasion for this obliging paepport, I am not willing to trespass too long upon your civility." Garrick's answer was such as to re- flect the greatest possible credit upon himself: "If you choose to relinquish your right to the freedom of Drury Lane playhouse, you certainly will ••ao as you please. But without the ticket, I imagine, Mr. Murphy will find the doors open to him, as usual, and be It further known to you, sir, that as I thought you were above an undue in- fluence I never meant the ticket as the least tie upon the liberty of your pen or conversation." It may be safely inferred that Gar- rick presented the same permanent passport to his gruff but faithful friend, Dr. Johnson. It is hardly too much to say that the great player's generosity was as notable as his set- ing, and his acting was probably such as the world has never surpassed. How Foxes Get Rid of Fleas. By an old bunter and naturalist of lo- cal repute a story has been told here confirming as absolutely true and trust- worthy the published account, which has had few believers until now, of how foxes rid'themselves of fleas. The fox, according to the book narrative, simply backs slowly into a stream of water with a�portion of the pelt of a rabbit in his mouth after the fox has made a meal off the rabbit. The water drives the fleas first up the fox's legs and then toward his head and finally out on the piece of rabbit fur, and then the fox drops the fur, and his pests are done for. The local hunter and naturalist re- ferred to, strange to say,' had never heard or read this story when he told of the actions of the fox which he ob- served in the waters of the Patapsco river. The little animal, he stated, backed into the river slowly with so much deliberation that he wondered what it meant. It carried something— he did not know what—in its mouth and dropped the something when out in deep water- Then the fox hurried away. The object left floated near to the observer, and he hauled it ashore with a stick- Fleas literally swarmed through the object, which was found to be a bit of raw rabbit fur. The ob- server had a puzzling mystery explain- ed to him. He says his admiration for the shrewdness of the fox grows more and more as he grows older and learns his ways.—Baltimore Sun.

Now, it is contrary to the settled be- lief of the Chinese to admit a member of the female sex, old or young, even to the temple ground. under any circum- stances. It is said that should a Chi- nes, guard venture even to carry a baby girl in his arms within the forbid- den lines he would probably be punish- ed with death. Not knowing of these restrictions, a number of ladies in Gen- eral Grant's party ventured to follow him when he visited the sacred edifice.

An infant daughter survives. Mrs. Brown was born in New Boston, Ill., Feb. 26th, 1868. She came with her parents to Britton in 1884. She afterwards spent two years at the Northwestern University at Evanston, Ill., com- pletiasg a musical course at that ihstitntioil. In October, 1897, she became the wife of Mr. Brown, and entered upon married life under the most auspicious circumstances. Death comes to us under many guises. Sometimes it slips stealthily into our homes and lingers, an unwelcome guest, through long weary days and months. Again like a bolt from a clear sky it smites with lightning' rapidity and in a few brief hours the merry voice is hushed, loving eyes are closed forever, and the dear form lies cold in death. Such was the going away of our dear friend. The friends who saw her in the flush of youth and health .-tn Thursday last little dreamed that ere the cycle of the week should be run her form would be laid away in its last resting "Capt.

As the news of her death spread through the town on Monday morning it brought keen re- gret and sorrow into all homes, and later many messages of condolence were received t m distant friends.

Albert Rudt, of Mendota, has mys- teriously disappeared on the eve of his wedding, under circumstances which lead his friends to believe he has met with foul play. The missing map spent Sunday . and Monday in this city with his affianced bride, Miss Clara Revischke, of Annapolis Street, preparing for their wedding, which, was set for next Monday. The last seen of Rudt was when he board- ed a Fort Snelling dear at Seventh and Wabasha streets at nine o'clock Monday night, on his way home. Tuesday morning Joseph Auge and his son, of Mendota, found a hat on the platform of the Minnesota River ferry, since identified as Rudt's. The young man was known to have drawn $100 from bis employer before leaving for this city, and the finding of the hat at once gave rise to a theory of foul play. rhe river was diligently dragged, but no traces of the body were found. The missing man, who is about, twenty-eight years of age, came to this country from Switz land eight_ years ago, and has been in the employ of E. Bernier, the Mendota butcher, mostsot the time since. Ile was sober and indus- trious, and bait saved from his salary while in the employ of Mr. Bernier about $700, which, with the excep- tion of the $100 drawn Sunday, is in the possession of Mr. Bernier as a loan. The $100 brought to this city was nearly all expended for furniture, and itis believed that Rudt had not more than $8 or $10 when he dts- appeared.-St. Paul P%oneer Press, The Hastings Asylum, After a thorough inspection of theeTwice Each Month% runs new Hastings hospital -for the insane, home sekers Northern excursions.

Paul on Thursday' of last week might easily have been accommodated, so far as room was concerned, in any ono of a dozen small halls In the Cap- ital City. O When the roll was called, half an dour after the hour published for call- ing the convention to order, but little more than half of the accredited dele- gates Answered to Their 'Names, and the chairman experienced great 1 ditl1oulty in making up the committees by reason of the slim attendance from r the outside counties. The convention was managed and di - rooted by the professional politicians and officeholder. of the state admtnis- tratiot, and motions were put and passed in a listless way by the dele- gates, who were in a hurry to get away and go out to the state fair grounds. The party manager's had ex- peoted a vast attendance from visitors to the state fair, and had counted heavily on this source to make a tre- aleadous showing of interest and en- thusiasm, The result demonstratfd that a great mistake had been made, tor, instead of the fair visitors going to the convention the delegates to the convention went to the fair as a su- perior attraction. TheAuditorium building is supposed td furnish seating capacity for 7,000, and when the Republican convention was held nearly every seat in the building, Including all the galleries, was Ailed, When Gov. Roosevelt was in St. Paul it was estimated that 5,000 people were turned from the doors be- cause there was not room for them. In the Democratic convention last week there were twice as many empty seats' as there were full ones, and the little throng of delegates down on the main floor looked all the smaller for the lens tiers of vacant seats that stretched back from the parquet to the THE HON.

It was probably this slim attendance that dampened the spirits of those who did attend, for the interest was at no time great or the enthusiasm such as to pass beyond control. The prearranged plans were carried out with clock -like regularity, and complete control of the organization was retained by L. A. Rosing, chair- man of the state central committee, who personally directed the business of the day, supplying the chairman the names for the committee, desig- nating the delegates who should nom- inate the various candidates and in all ways tightening his hold upon the party leading strings. Col. Rosing was assisted in his Management of the C tion by such Democrats as Thomas D, O'Brien of 9t. Paul, John O'Brien of Stillwater, Ed O'Brien of Minneapolis, Maj. Bowler, E. M. Pope, J. A. O'aihaughneesy, Z. 81. Austin, A. N. Lanphere, P. M. Ringdal and other state ofecsrs. The governor, who has so often declared that he was "just as good a Republican as ever on all mat- ters except tate silver question," re- quired his managers to steer as far as possible from that dangerous issue, and. accordingly, the honors of the day 'sore not denied to the sound money pemoorats of 1896, men who were can- didates for electors on the Palmer and Buolener ticket being drafted as dele- gates at large. Theconvention at no time displayed the enthusiasm whfoh marked the Minneapolis convention two years ago, and when the proposltion was made to start a canvass for the proposed new paper at Minneapolis, Ten Subscribers Were 0 teed, and a motion to call the roll and re- port subsoripttons by counties was voted down by an overwhelming ma- jority. Chairman Rosing announced that the syndicate with which he had been negotiating had agreed to start the paper if the committee would guarantee 10,000 subscribers, and he said that he had promises of 4,000. With the ten guaranteed on the door of the convention this left 5,990 to be se- cured before the terms of the syndi- cate could be complied with and the ib4per established. The delegates in personal interviews expressed great hostility to the fit. Paul Globe because Of its . bolt on the national ticket, and all a4NQ that they would not trust it with Ldaid's ihterests, but at the ham. time they did not seem prepared to go as far as to subsidise a great da/ily paper. The fact is that the state central oommittee has already invested more than $i6,0M in the newspaper business, and the chairman has in- formed memMQ M of the committee that it will take $4 s to make the general satapaign, as that until that amount shall have been raised there will be no more newspaper appropriations. At a conference of Mr. Rosing, the three -O'Brien., Mrs, Heinrich', Mr. Mosier, Maj. Bowler and ons or two other lead- ers of the party it was decided to pro- ceed with the campaign much after The Fashion oe 1808, namely, to devote all the work of the campaign and all the funds of the tommittoe to the election of Lind, and he other candidates on the ticket, with the exception of Ringdal, are to be sacrificed as they were two years ago, and rewarded as were the candi- dates that year, in the event of Lind's election. One other fact developed in the nourge pf the_ greeting, and that is that there- i11 to -be a concerted effort to carry the house of representatives on the theory that Lind wants a legisia- tura tie oo-operate with him in his "re- forms." The absurdity of this pyogga NtJOlt is perfectly apparent whoa take fadix1s mailed that the senate Wilde oyp a that it is mors than twoe s publican. The only thing a file °ratio house could do, if it had [snow h majority, would be To Elect a United, States Senator, as that is the only question neon which the house and senate act jointly, and no bill can be passed without a majority of the senate. The chief peculiarity of the ticket nominated is that it is not Democratic. It seems to have become the rule in the anti -Republican party that each branch of It prides itself in not nom- inating its own members for oflloe. The Populists, for instance, nominated a Democrat for president and a free silver "Republican" for vice pfbsident, and then, when the Democrats refused to accept their vice-presidential nom- inee they gracefully accepted the Democratic nominee, who happens to have been this political partner and as- sociate of the man who is, of all oth- ers, most hated by Populists -they ac- cepted Adlai Stggeneon, the running mate of Grover Oi8veland. Just so in the state convention, the Democrats nominated for governor the man who coined most of the expres- sions of contempt which are current in their application to Democrats, and then fitted him out, at his own re- quest, with a set of running mates who are, almost without exception, Populists or renegade Republicans but recently identified with Democracy. The nomination of H. C. Koerner for treasurer was made in the same vein of Political Pettifogging that prompted the romination of "Judge" Kelly for attorney general two years ago. It was expected that "Judge" .1. F. Kelly would be con- founded with Judge W. F. Kelly, and that many would vote for the Dem- .ocratic candidate for attorney general under the miaapprehension that they, were voting for the honored and re- spected judge of the district court of Ramsey county, In the present case Koerner was nominated in the ex- pectation that he will be mistaken for the present incumbent of the same office, Hon. August T. Koerner, who has voluntarily retired. State Treas- urer Koerner is aa much chagrinnel over the duplication of names as though he were a candidate himself, and will make it his business in the course of the campaign to let hie friends know that the Koerner who is running for treasurer on the Demo- crlitfc ticket is another kind of a Koerner. H. C. Koerner, the Demo- cratic nominee, is at present a deputy In the °ince of E. M. Pope, the public examiner, and is in no way related to the present state treasurer. W. N. Saunders, the nominee for attorney general, was ,Selected by Gov. Lind at a Late Maar, it is said, upon the refusal of T. D. O'Brien to take the nomination. Mr. Saunders is said to be a practicing at- torney, or at least to have been ad- mitted to the bar, which is more than can be said of some former Democratic nominees for the same position. The nomination of Ringdal, Knox and Owen for railroad commissioners was determined upon by the governor long prior to the convention, and the fight put up by certain friends of Neary to Ret him on the ticket for commissioner aaa as unavailing as was every other struggle to break The Gubernatorial Slate. Just why the governor, or his friends, regard Ringdal as a formidable can- didate is difficult to understand. 1898 Ringdal was the Populist nominee for congress in the Seventh district. That district was, at that time, at least, regarded as the great Populist stronghold, and although Gov. Lind earried it by over 4,000, Ringdal Was Defeated by 8,300. If he could not carry his own district, which was so strongly for Lind, it does not seem probable that he can carry the rest of the state, which is naturally and normally Republican. The rail- road commission ticket is, of course, essentially Populist, Mr. Owen being the high priest of that party, and Mr. Knox that doubtful quantity which 1s always reducible into a Populist - a Silver Republican. Mr. Melghen, the nominee for lieutenant governor, is also a Populist of the most recent fashion, that is, one Who talks for Populist principles but Is always ready to surrender and Saorifiee them for votes. Although there were nearly 40,000 peopie in attendance at the state fair on the evening of the "ovation" to Gov. Lind, less than one-eighth of that num- ber took the trouble to attend the "grand rally" at the Auditorium when the governor made his speech of ac- ceptance, and by far the greater part of those present were people from the two cities, who were not specially in- terested in the fair. The real farmers were at the fair grounds, while glass who farm the farmers were at the son- vention, parcelling out the pat stage they hope to gain by the ideation of Lind. Real Estate Transfers.

While it is described as a re- ligious play,' it is not one that appeals alone to the believers in Christianity. A striking instance of this fact occurred recently in a Chicago book store. A lady who was purchasing Christmas presents for her friends requested the clerk to select a book for a gentleman who was a devout Christian; he im- mediately handed her Quo Vadis. "Now," she continued, "I want a, book for a gentleman who is not a Christian;" and the clerk handed her another volume of Quo Vadis. _;fife same lights and shades of characters and beliefs which formed the foundation of the popularity of the novel have been preserved by the dramatist in his play, and will cause his work to be witnessed by thousands as one of the grandest dramatic triumphs of modern times.

"If I go, Rosalie," Harry Reynolds said, "remember that I shall net re- turn." He made a si)ep toward her and continued, "Have you not a word for me, Rosalie?" "I do not think of anything further - that 1 wish to say," she responded coldly. Harry gazed at her a moment and then rushed from the room. "Cold hearted, selfish girl!" he ex- giaimed. 'For a few seconds after his departure Rosalie retained her indifferent posi- tion, but all her senses were alive to catch his lightest movement. OI course he would return, and when he behaved 'properly and asked her pardon and submissively he should have it, but to be lectured and scolded in that man- ner w=as more than she would bear. In vain. did she listen. An hour, then two, then three hours passed by, and sick at heart Rosalie went up to her room and cried herself to sleep. Rosalie was warm hearted and quick tempered,' but was easily appeased. She was also passionately. fond of ad- miration and quite a% much bent on having her ot-h way as was good for her. These sults, however, did not prevent the village beaus from being at her disposal, and hitherto she had been nearly impartial in her treatthent of them, having no mind to .give up the general homage • by fixing upon one. But lately there bad been a differ- ence hi her feelings. She had ac- knowledged there wlrs a charm in Har- ry Reynolds' attentions such as she had never found in any other. A thrill new and delfclous went through her when their eyes met, and ,she read the admiration which he vainly tried to r-epress. Harry had a jtjjgh ideal of womanly excellence w1)ich Rosalie by no means cause up to, but in spite of her frivolities and his own misgiv- ings they were frequently together and fast verging toward an explanation when that destiny which appears to delight in the annoyance of lovers in- troduced an element 'of discord ` into their happiness. Mr. Clarence Dalton came up from the city on a visit to his uncle. He was handsome, agreeable, wealthy and noted for the careful elegance of his attire. The girls were enchanted with him, and Rosalie alone regarded him with seeming indifference. She said to herself with virtuous resolution, she - must be careful now. 'Harry' might- be wounded if she received attentions from such a lion. - Happy for her had this prudent dis- position lasted. But the old spirit came up ,iter awhile, She was entire. - lir accustomed to queening it in her little world, and her vanity was piqued, that Mr. Dalton did 12,4 at all seem struck bs her charms. It was quite n Christian duty to give Mr. Dalton a lesson in good taste. So by a fere little feminine lures, such as a pretty girl well knows.,lhow to practice, he was attracted to her side, and once there he seemed exceedingly well pleased to stay. - Harry could endure it no longer and in the interview whoseclose we have portrayed determined to "put his for- tune to the tousrh to win or lose it all." Conscious of her power, indignant, with some justice, that he should as- sume' to dictate het conduct when • he had•never openly declared his love, Ro- salie liad responded by a series of flip- pant, exasperating little speeches which drove Harry almost,to despair. She intended to relent in time,- but pride, vanity and ae certain triumph in knowing that his *hole manly heart was hers to play with at will wrought sad mischief. Rosalie had no doubt that Harry woul(1 come the next evening as�usual and all could easily be made right again. But the evening cane and went and -no Harry. What could it mean? Surely he loved her, and if so he could not stay away. She would wait pa- tiently since it was &1I that she could do. The next evening Mr. Dalton called, but Rosalie sent down word that she was i11 and asked to be excused. Yet as night after eight went by and Har- ry did not return her submissive mood ehanged. She would show Mr. Harry Reynolds that she 'was not suffering from the withdrawal of his presence. There were other people quite delight- ed to bests her company. The next time Mr. Dalton came she did not decline to see him, but came down and was a�friendly and pleasant as" could be desired.

She per- ceived Harry in time to bestow on him a very distant bow and then turned, with added empressment, to her com- panion. Harry changed his intentions at once, walked by the house In the most leisurely and indifferent manner and proceeded to call upon that obnox- ious Nellie Kellie, whotb Rosalie re- garded so superciliously. Mr. Dilten meanwhile found his af- fairs in a somewhat perplexing state. Flirtation had been since his eleventh year the element in which he delight- ed to exist. Matrimony with its cares and responsibilities was to him the most distant of prospects and must of- fer extra inducements to make him for- sake hie freedom. Now, however, he began to feel himself very seriously terested in a person who had not claim to fashion, family or fortune little village girl who wore dresses her own fitting and made all the p and cakes that appeared on her to W-hethershe really cared for him or garded him as a friend or simply an admirer was impossible to say. Other people were not slow in dra ing their conclusions, and before th weeks were over the village autho ties in such cases declared It would a match. Harry oould not in his heart de the reasonableness of their predictio He bad the grief of believing that wishes, hopes and affections were no lag to Rosalie. Yet had he anythi but his own harshness to blame f the change? He was miserable, but own act bad caused the misery. Mr. Halton had a mother living, stately lady of some forty odd yea well preserved and a leader of socie Clarence was her only boy and t object of a great ntany ambitio dreams. The marriage which look to her so misty and' far away was her a very near reality. She had s lected a girl of his rank for a wif when, lo, there carne n rumor th struck her to the heart. Could It that Clarence was about to make fpol of himself? She wrote a lett to her son in .which she expressed pe feet confidence in his discretion an her assurance that be would do not ing foolish or imprudent. Mr. Clarence's brow as ne read th maternal effusion was • boded wit thought, Where, in the name of oom men sense, could there be any dange in a marriage with such a cbarmin girl as Rosalie Ames? As for the dan ger of her heart, he wished he wer a little surer of it. He felt at tha moment that his own was in a muc more perilous position than he(s. As Harry walked that afiernoo along the broad road leading from bi house he was attracted by almost In articulate groans, and looking a to yards into the distance he saw a sense less form lying in his path, while mad horse dashed furiously dow the road. As he drew nearer h recognized the dark, tasteful ridin suit which he had seen Dalton wear s often before. An1 passing from th clothing his eyes rested upon the face pale as death, of the unconscious rnan Good and bad angels tugged at Isar ry's soul for one moment In a morta conflict. What call had be to interfer in his behalf? The sneering fop wb had blighted all his hopes! Let hin stay there and die. But in the nex moment, forgetting all but the welfare of his fellow being, he snatched off his overcoat and raised Dalton's head and rested it upon it. Then, with frantic ha haste, he summoned , aid, and all that 'skill and care could do was employed for the sufferer's restoration. Harry hung over him, pale and agonized, the accusing voice ever ringing in bis ears. "God forgive me!" be cried. "That wicked delay." At last signs of returning life were visible, and ere long the physicians as- sured the is-atchers round that all was hopeful. Rest and good nursing alone were needed. Harry quietly stole away anilhresum- ed his walk. Wandering thus, quite forgetful of the outer world, he encoun- tered a well known form -Rosalie stood in his path, her cheeks pallid, her eyes swollen with weeping. She did not seek to avoid him, but seemed waiting for him to speak. He took her hand. She did not w.itbdraw it. He felt that she knew all "Don't hate me," he said. "I de- serve no credit- I almost turned to leave him, for hatred and jealousy had possession of me, and if he bad died I should have been his murderer. But it was for you, Rosalie. I loved you so! For I have saved him only to render certain the destruction of my own happiness." Rosalie looked up at him with brim- ming eyes. "I dont see why," she said softly. "I am sure that nobody wishes to make you unhappy." Now, I cannot say whether this state- ment appears particularly lucid, but Harry was clever enough to under- stand it instantly. All the troubles, 'trials and misgivings of the last few weeks dispersed like mists before the sun, and content took the place of wretchedness in those two reunited hearts. Clarence Dalton made a very stylish best meet at the wedding of his preserv- er, and, judging from' his devoted man- njr to the maid of honor, he did not suffer irremediably from his loss.

Mrs. Ma) French -Sheldon, the noted African explorer, has run foul of the lord chamberlain of England, who re- fuses to allow her play of "Pilate and Ovid's Daughter" to be produced upon the stage. The lord chamberlain hap- pens to be tensor of stage morals, and in his opinion Mrs. French-Sheldon's play is irreverent. He asserts that cer- tain Scriptural allusions smack of something stronger than levity. The EMBROIDERED TEACLOTH. the rut of commonplace and is justified and glorified by the clever pencil of an artist. Observe the strict convention- ality' of the arrangement and at the same time the direct adherence to the graceful form of growth and drooping habit which are the natural character- istics of the flower under treatment. The method as to coloring is equally conventional and is at once indicative and suggestive. It is not proposed to introduce any green into "the scheme at all. To the eye of a colorist red always suggests green. It can be "felt" in the red, al- though it is not actually "seen." Upon this subtle indication therefore the de- sign rests as far as green is concerned. First the coloring. The artist's idea is that white, red and black only should be used, and herein tie and many others will be at one. But it will certainly be a master stroke to modify the white as regards the ground --that Is to say, the linen on which the stitch- ery is to be wrought -by choosing for it that shade of oyster white which is now so popular in other directions. The idea is that the leaves and the buds in the design on the cloth had the corolla petals and buds in the design on the cozy -in fact, all those parts of the illustrations w11kb are utarkccl black-shocid be worked in rich fuch- sia red, while the flowers. serolly stems and little starry blossoms on the cloth should be wori ed in white well raised over padding stitches. The large and small leaves on the cozy as well as the sepals of the fuchsias are to be treated in the same way. The touch of black coiner in thus: The whole of the out lines of flowvers, leaves, sten' flowers. scrolls and 1'ttle powdered white sprigs are to he outlined with the thinnest possible line of stern stitch in this sable hue. The craftiness of this thin Neel: out- line cannot be overestimated as a fee tor in successful effect. Fine flax thread Must be used for the Nroidery of these thiegs. The color- ings of flax threads now leave nothing to be desired either in tinting or varie- ty, and when they are properly used they are as glossy and effective as sill. The large, red loaves behind the fuchsias on the teacloth shonid be ORIGINAL TEA COZY, worked In stem stitch and should be kept as flat as possible. For this a flue make of thread will be advisable. The raised petals can be made substantial with a much coarser thread. and the embossed appearance is given by a few rows of coarse running stitches put in first as a sort of mold or foundation after the fashion of Mountmellick em- broidery, Here satin stitch must be used. It will not be necebsary to pad the red petals of the flowers on the cozy, as the color itself will be sufficiently as- sertive. It has been said that tea cozies are not In vogue, yet this comfortable Eng- lish fashion is each year rather more in evidence with us.

A novel method has been suggested by which society mothers may rid themselves of those awkward "land- marks," grown up daughters. Nowa- days when It is considered positively vulgar for a woman to look old and the matron of five and forty, with a daugh- ter of 20 or possibly 22, outrivals that young lady in dress and "make up" generally, to say nothing of admirers, mademoiselle is the solid proof that things are not always what they. seem. However young madam may look, she must obviously be this, that and so and so when she has a daughter In her third or fourth season or even in her first. It is darkly hinted therefore that society beauties should effect ex- changes. A undertaking to chaperon C's girl, while ditto takes B's, and B takes A's under their respective wings. This effectually destroys the Index. People do -not think about daughters in relation to their mothers' ages when they are not In continual evidence, and taking some one else's girl, however old she may be, does not obviously af- fect the chaperon's age. It is an ingen- ious way out of a difficulty. "Doorstep habit" In London. The entente cordiale between Great Britain and the United States extends even to the English copying our cus- toms. That the "doorstep habit" is ob- taining a hold is proved by a London paper that says: "The unusual spectacle of the door- step of one of the houses In a fashiona- ble square converted iuto a 'sitting out' room has been filling the toc•t,, police- men with mild astonishment. The steps were filled with cushions, and cold drinks and cigarettes in the back- ground made a most inviting picture, whilea colored troupe performing in the square saw their opportunity and came and discoursed the latest music hall ditties. England is evidently growing more unconventional and is at last do- ing things people have done abroad for years, but which nobody dared to do in England," Nurse■ For School. At the second annual meeting of the London School Nurses' society the Countess of Aberdeen occupied the chair. This society was founded a lit- tle more than two years ago with the object of supplying visiting nurses to elementary schools in poor districts. It is found that when a nurse visits a school regularly ills among the children practically cease to exist. It is a known fact that the fever hospitals of London are for the most part filled with chil- dren whose parents allow them to run about until they are actually stricken down. So it 1s obviously a work of economy for the nurse to detect and exclude cases of illness from schools, where infection always spreads so rap- idly. variation. The two old friends, as has berg Iier- rated before, met again after many years of separation. "By the way, Brown," said Jones, "do you remember that snubnosed cross eyed little Tilbury girl with a face on her that would derail an express train? She used to live somewhere in your neighborhood, I think-" "Oh, yes, I remember her perfectly," replied Brown. "Whatever became of her?" "I am sorry to disappoint you, Jones" -here is where the variation comes in -"but I have not the slightest idea. I didn't marry her." -London King. Learning.

IIe impressed on the clerk the first day he was there that it was of vital Importance that be be called at 6 o'clock next morning. He was called. He didn't come down stairs till 2 in the afternoon. The in- junction to the clerk was repeated ev- ery day, and every day the mysterious guest staid in his room till late in the afternoon. When he had been at the place a week and was about to leave, the clerk said to him: "I beg your pardon, sir; It's none of my business, but why have you left or- ders to be called at 6 o'clock every morning and never got out of bed till sev al Lours later?" " ell," he replied, "I'11 tell you. Back in the city I've got a job that compels me to get up every morning, summer and winter, at 6 o'clock. This is my first vacation for five ,years. Ev- ery day when your bellboy has come up stair's and banged at the door I've started up to dress and get down to the office and then suddenly let the convic- tion steal blissfully over my brain that 1 didn't have to.

Half an hour afterward a man came in. Both his eyes were puffed and green, his nose sagged, his clothing looked like Chilus Chilonides' before he acquired Nero's favor. "Say," he said gently, "do you recog- nize me?" "Can't say as I do." "I'm the man who came In here half an hour ago and paid a fine in ad- vance." "Obi Well, what do you want now?" "Would you mind giving me $9.95 back?" -Atlanta Journal Sympathy Misplaced. One day during a told snap last win- ter I saw an old man In a grocery act - Ing rather suspiciously, and soon I saw him steal a potato from a barrelful of the tubers that stood outside the coun- ter. The old fellow slipped out of the house as soon as be could convenient- ly and limped away. I followed him, thinking to give him what change I could spare, for I thought he must be desperately poor if be must steal a po- tato. When I caught up with him and of- fered him a little money, the old man roared with laughter. When be had got his breath again, he said: "You saw me steal the potato, didn't you?" "Yes, sir, I did." "Well, lemme tell you, my son, I've got potatoes to sell. I raise thousands of bushels of them. I've got the big- gest market garden in this county, and I've got more money than you ever saw. Carryin a potato in your pocket will cure the rhenmatiz, but for it to do any good you've got to steal the potato. See? I saw. And I sawed wood. -Will Visscher in Woman's Home Compan- ion.

Lee and who went through the battles of the tear with his chief, told the fol- lowing amusing story of his -experience with a new horse: His old horse had been shot from under him in the fight of the previous day, and he had taken possession of an animal that seemed to suit the work. IA the battle a few hours later be was riding across a field In which there were numerous stumps. Suddenly the performance opened. The guns roared and the air was filled with smoke and noise. Before Colonel Marshall knew what was happening the horse bad his four feet on one of the stumps and was gayly dancing in a circle. In the mean time the firing was Increasing, and the situation was anything but comfortable, but the horse kept on as if he were enjoying it. "It was not until afterward," said Colonel Marshall, "that I found the horse had belonged to a circus and had been trained to do this act amid the firing of cannon." Chinese as Cooks.

Corsets at the Exposition—A Remedy For Sties—Fashi"n'■ Foreshadows. Sister Workers Recognized—A Zealous Kindergartner. Dr. Jessie Lyons of New York is a new woman who did not encroach upon masculine territory to find a life .voca- tion, but instead evolved a unique pro- fession for her particular benefit. She took. a complete course in chirop- ody, mauicuriug and hairdressing and studied with a number of physicians. By no means satisfied, however, with her attainments nor contented with the career of au ordinary chiropodist, Dr. Lyons upon beginning 'her practice adorned her profession with a variety of her own devising, such as the train- ing of the eyebrows, pedicuring the nails of the foot, but above all of culti- Fating after the latest approved ac- quirements of art and fashion the mas- culine mustache. This last mentioned branch alone takes up the young woman's time so that manicuring and chiropody must be largely intrusted to assistants. "Every man," says Dr. Lyons, "with- out exception, can have a handsome mustache. It is only a matter of prop- er cultivation, yet it is said that souse men can scarcely raise one at all. That is because they don't know how. I can make a mustache grow, and a pretty one, on any man's face if he will sim- ply trust it to me. "There is a great deal to -be borne in mind In connection with a mustache. DR JESSIE LYONS. To be perfect it must follow ceftain - lines of the face and be curved in a .l• am particular way to accord with the phys- iognomy of each person. "The care of men's mustaches is for 'me a comparatively new venture. Suc- cessful? Well, I should think so. I am the only oa in the business, and, although I have never advertised, I have all the work I can do. "Yes, I have more men customers than women. Men are vain of their appearance, and when they find some one who studies them and helps them cultivate exactly the sort of mustache most becoming to their particular style of beauty. why. wild horses would not keep them from corning. "One man tells another In confidence, I suppose. Then• never tell bow they beard of me. but they come. "You would laugh 1f you could hear the excuses they make for coming. Never to have their mustaches attend- ed to! Oh. no! They want their nails manicured, and while this is being at- tended to they say, in a casual -ay: 'By the way, my mustache gives e a good deal of trouble Have you ny tonic or something of the sort?' And then, in time. I find that what they want is mustache treatment. Others, in a businesslike manner, will ask without any parleying to have their mustaches treated." Corsets at the Exposition. In aU the previous fairs of all coun- tries there never was such a show of corsets as there is at the corset sec- tion, placed next to the gowns, at the Paris exposition. says a correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle. This is be- cause there Is a revolution in corsets. They are now all made straigbt up•and down in front, sending the curves on the hips and in the back, and each ex- hibitor makes a point of accentuating that particular cut more than his neighbor. In one showcase there is the picture of one fleshy woman with the old fashioned corset curved in the front and a portrait of one with the new pattern. The last does look better because she looks [sore at ease. Fleshy women were In tortures when tightly laced in an old corset. Now they can smile even after a big dinner, and as all women are now straight up and down to the hips she does not mind having no shape where there ought to be shape. As for the corsets of the slender wo- men they design a straight line on all sides, up and down. down and up. It 151 the style to conceal all femininity with corsets, and, strange to say, when a woman is well gowned the style is graceful, for It gives a serpentine look to the woman. Not long since an American woman said to me at the opera: "It is aston- letting how a woman will shape her physique to suit the fashions. When I was In Paris some ten years ago, half of the Frenchwomen were fleshy. Now you can hardly perceive one in all these boxes. They must have done 4omething to make themselves slender. i I understand that fashions change, but I do not understand that the body changes to suit the fashions." "Where there is a will there is a way," said I. "Women abstain from drinking during their meals, and they have thennselves massaged every day. They consult their doctors as to what they should refrain from eating so as to get or remain thin. I do not think any take internal medicines because the Frenchwoman Is too fond of her health, and it is not the fashion to look sickly." Yeast a Remedy For Sties. A sty is neither more nor less than a boil on the outer edge -of the eyelid. It is the result of inflammation of the glands that surround the eyelashes. It is of no gravity in itself, but in the ease of some persons it returns with such tenacity that It becomes a real in- ' firmity. With persons of this class, therefore, preventive treatment re- quires to be conducted with extreme care. As soon as the sty appears an attempt may be made to stop it at the outset by a slight cauterization with nitrate of silver or else with a pencil dipped in tincture of iodine. When it has reached the full period of inflam- mation, the treatment should be limit- ed to the application of a few podltices of starch or of compresses dipped in a slightly antiseptic liquid. If the pus does not discharge, it should be made to discharge by means of a slight in- cision. The favorable results that have been obtained in the treatment of boils by taking yeast have suggested to M. Terson of Paris the idea of resorting to this treatment for persistent orge- olet. In fact. in several cases in which this affection of the eyes recurred in- definitely the patients found very good results from the use`of yeast. As soon as the point of the eyelid made its ap- pearance and began to be painful, in- dicating the advent of a sty, an admin- istration of dry yeast in doses of 4 grams 50 centigrams to nine grams per day in capsules before each meal fre- quently sufficed to bring about a com- plete reduction and disappearance of the inflammation and swelling. When they did not succeed in arresting the sty, there was at least a rapid calming of the painful phenomena. A sty be- ing nothing but a boll, it is only natu- ral that it should be beneficially affect- ed by the well established curative ac- tion of yeast from beer on boils. The only thing was to think of it. Fashion's Foreshadows. There is every indication that we are to have a revival of velvet as a dress fabric. It will be used to a greater ex- tent than for many seasons. Tired of the various silk and wool fabrics which have come from the loom season after season, those who determine the styles have, in their search for something new, reverted to a fabric which an- swers their requirements exceptionally well. Velvet will be used both for street and evening costumes. and not only will entire gowns be made of this beau- tiful material, but also walking skirts, in which velvet is used either wholly or in part. Little velvet coats of all sorts will be seen. Very popular is the velvet bolero, heavily embroidered, but there are many fancy Etons and other clever little coats, gracefully pointed in front, where they extend five or six inches below the waist line, but run- ning up almost to the belt in the back. Often the coat ends at the waist line around back and hips under a soft gir- dle of chiffon, which passes around the waist and through an ornamental buc- kle in front under the long points of the coat front. Among other predic- tions are plainly cut, tight fitting bod- ices finishing in a sharp, exaggerated point in front, to wear with skirts of other materials. Velvet is also found in wraps and outdoor garments of va- rious styles. When it does not form the foundation of the garment, it is used liberally as trimming. Velvet wraps are displayed in Paris which are made in a succession of capes, some- times as many as six, and each lined with white satin and bordered with a narrow band of gold and jeweled em- broidery. The high collar turns down deeply with an edge of the embroidery and fastens at the throat with a large, soft scarf of chiffon embroidered all over in a cobwebby design of gold and colored silks. Sister Workers Recognised. Remembering how recently French students have insulted women who en- tered their classes, hissing, booting and even throwing stones at them, It is encouraging to hear that they have ex- perienced a sorely needed change of heart. "At the international congress of students lately held," writes a corse. spoudent of an English journal, "the delegates were all undergraduates from inen's universities, no women's col- leges being represented, but members eloquently demonstrated, some by im- passioned speeches, others by no less vett anent cheering and all by their votes. that they bad the interest of their sister workers at heart. Owing to dissensions of a complicated kind, arising out of political questions and eonueeted with the race problems of eastern Europe, thecongress split in two. but both sections exhibited the same solicitude for the cause of wom- en students. The general assembly of the confederation, called 'Corda Fra- terna.' set the example by devoting considerable attention to a communica- tion from a Polish woman, Mme. Cza- plinska, regarding the `higher educa- tion' of women. A motion was eventual- ly put and enthusiastically carried to the effect that 'secondary and superior education In all cases should be made accessible to universities on the same footing as men.' The second congress, which took unto itself no particular i .PRIDE'S CrvmBaking Pwdcr PRICE An absolutely pure and healthful baking powder.

A Zealous Kindergartndr. There is no better known representa- tive of the kindergarten movement in America than Miss Lucy Wheelock of Boston, and no woman has done more to develop the work of the kindergar- ten during the past 20 years. Miss Wheelock, says Harper's Bazar, has given the working years of her life to this cause with unfailing zeal and steadfastness of purpose and has seen some of her best ideals realized in her own country. She has delivered lectures In most of the states of the Union and has for years been at the head of a trainiug school for kindergartners. She has re- cently established a collegiate course for young women, which is planned to include the elements of culture most desirable in the education of women and to provide for the harmonious training of head, hand and heart. Graduates from this course are admit- ted to the kindergarten normal class. It is desired that all students of this course devote one afternoon each week to some form of social work either in connection with the clubs organized by the various settlements in the city or In the day nurseries, where an oppor- tunity for contact with child life is of- fered. Miss Wheelock was for three years president of the International Kindergarten union, an organization of commanding influence. She is a member of the committee having in charge the educational department of Boston's Twentieth Century club, a club that has done more for the dis- semination of knowledge in Boston than any other organization in that et'. Charm In Woman. A Frenchman in Bloemfontein says that the English women there are re- markable for the cheerful stoicism with which they endure the anxiety and discomforts of present conditions. He indulges also In other comments that are interesting. "One may observe among English women." he says, "the same thing in the matter of gracefulness that one no- tices among the men in the matter of politeness. There is no mean. Either the English woman is extremely grace- ful, pretty, elegant and even recherche or else she is quite ridiculous, ill dress- ed, sharp featured and plain—the sort of woman for whom there is no word in the French language. The great poet Heine wrote once that to a man who could see and understand no wom- an was plain. I always believed him. Alas, I had not seen certain English women! And Heine could never have seen them either. "An English woman who is pretty and clever possesses abundant charm, but I have seen Frenchwomen by no means pretty who have made them- selves so pleasing that they were to be preferred to classic beauties. In Eng- land, however, when a woman misses being good looking the case is hopeless. She knows not how to walk, talk, please or narrate and is compelled to take refuge in heroic endurance of her plainness." A Minister's Wife's Work. Every minister's wife is deeply inter- ested in the -work of the church, but no one should attempt to decide for her how much of that work 1s her share. The undue binding of burdens upon shoulders wearied with much willing service has caused some of us to raise our voices in protest if not for our- selves for the overtaxed bodies and brains of our lees fortunately situated sisters. Let a clergyman's wife decide not to be tyrannized over by circum- stances. She more than many needs to think out her life with care and come to definite conclusions by which she is stilling to abide. No regulations can bb -laid down for all alike, for a woman must be herself the judge of her abili- ties. Let her see to it, however, that she remains uninfluenced by those who should seek to direct her. It may be laid down as part of the remedy that no minister's wife should be at the head of more than one organization, and if her home cares are many she should not attempt even that. If she desires to take a class in Sunday school, she need not be given the worst class of boys nor the most difficult class of little children.—Ladies' Home Journal. She I■ thief of the Fire Brigade. The hereditary Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Meluingen, the eldest sister of the kaiser, has just appeared in a new role, that of chief of a fire brigade. A short time since news was brought to Erd- mansdorf castle that a fire bad broken out in the neighboring village of Lom- uitz. As soon as the princess heard of the fire she ordei.d her carriage and drove to the spot. Here she secured a Bose and played water on the tire. Aft- er the fire was extinguished she did her best to console the sufferers and order- ed refreshments served to the tire bri- gade. of which she herself partook. An innovation on the stereotyped rice and old shoe throwing at a recent wed- ding was a big white canvas slipper filled with rice. This was taken by the best man and ushers to the wharf where the bride and groom were to take the boat and tossed on board just as the steamer slipped her moorings. Miss Laura A. Gregg, who is in charge of the woman suffrage head- quarters at Omaha, is active in the promotion of the work in that state. She addressed the senatorial Populist convention at Sargent recently and the teachers' institute at Broken Bow. Mrs. Kruger has a horror of railway trains. She refused to witness the ar- rival and departure of the first trains which established the service in Preto- ria. Last year, however, Oom Paul persuaded her to take her first journey behind the iron horse. A stunning outdoor garment for a young girl is a box coat of Irish frieze, with red velvet bands introduced mo't effectively into the cuffs, pockets and collar. The coat is lined throughout with red satin. France and English Coal. A special correspondent of the Lon- don Daily Mail has made further inqui- ries In the north of France into the ex- portation from England of huge ship- ments of coal. There is no doubt, he says, that the chief explanation for the enormous shipments is the recognition by the French authorities that it is eminently desirable in case of emergency to have on hand a large reserve of "naviga- tion" coal, of which the collieries of France are absolutely unproductive. It looks very much as though the Kent coalfields are going to pass into the bands of the French speculators, who are probably in touch with the French government. The colliery owners in the north of France have been turning their atten- tion to this uew coalfield in the borders of the English channel and In order to ascertain the truth of its prospects sent over to England recently M. Fumat, one of the best known and most retic, ble of French colliery experts. It is up- on his promising report that the col- liery owners of the north of France have been buying at a low price all the shares they can lay their hands up- on and are still negotiating for further blocks of shares. A Friend In Need. About half an hour had been ex- pended by the bashful young man in a series of advances and retreats, and lit- tle Johnny's cramped position behind the sofa was becoming somewhat pain- ful. "I wish I dared"— the young man commenced on a uew attack, when the couple were electrified by an impatient exclamation behind them: "A w, make a break! She's dead easy!"—Brooklyn Life. WHY THE HAIR FALLS. Scientific Explanation of the Reason Why Men Are Bald. "The popular explanation of the rea- son why men are bald. why their hair falls .rut more than women's, is be- cause women do not wear closely fit- ting hats, as liven do. and consequently the air circulates more freely in the hair and cools the scalp: thereby tend- ing to keep the hair in a healthy condi- tion," said a prominent Washington skin specialist to The Star. "This theory Is u deep rooted one, but is only partially true. I will tell you the fundamental I'easoll. It is not gen- erally known that the skin of a woman fits differently over the cranium from that of a man. Beneath the cuticle on a woman's cranium Is a thin layer of adipose tissue, or 'fat.' about a six- teenth of an inch ID thickness. This layer of fat is not present Ott the cra- nium of a man. His cuticle tits and draws tightly over the skull. "The result is that the cuticle on a man's cranium atrophies, or dries and withers. quicker than that on a wom- an's. His hair does not receive the nourishment that is imparted to the hair of a woman by reasou of the layer of adipose tissue, and the result Is that his hair becomes wore readily dry and diseased, falls out, and baldness ulti- mately ensues. A bald woman is a rarity. If the cuticle of a woman's head fitted as tightly as that of a man's, a baldheaded woman would be a common sight. Wouldn't she be a funny object? Cough! "There 1s not one woman in a million that knows nature was kind to her to the manner I have mentioned. In fact, it is not known outside of the medical profession, and in that profession not sufficient importance is attached to it in treating diseases of the scalp. It al- so furnishes an explanation as to 'why women can go around in the winter time with a postage stamp for a hat and not take cold.' It is not altogether because their hair is thick and long, but because the extra layer of fat im- parts to the head of a woman a warmth that is not furnished to the cranium of a man. This is a scientific explanation which I do not recall read- ing in the public prints." Sugar In the Human System. Sugar is a substance that dissolves easily and in considerable quantity in water, says The Catholic World. When in solution, it easily passes through an animal membrance by osmosis, and so the question of its absorption seemed simple enough. The disease diabetes showed, however, that sugar might ex- ist very plentifully in the blood, and yet the nutrition of an individual suf- fer very , much for the lack of it. Something else besides its mere pres- ence in the system was necessary to secure its consumption by the tissues. Bernard thought that the liver was active in the consumption of sugar and that disease of this organ caused dia- betes. He therefore secured some of the blood going to the liver of a living animal and some of the blood that was just leaving it. To bis surprise, the blood leaving the liver contained more sugar than that entering it. After as- suring himself that his observations were correct he tried his experiments in different ways. He found that even in the blood leaving the liver of an ani- mal that had been fed only on sub- stances containing no Sugar sugar could be demonstrated. Even in a fasting animal the liver itself and the blood leaving it showed the presence of a form of sugar. The only possible conclusion from this was that the liver was capable of manufacturing this form of sugar out of nonsugar contain- ing material or even from the blood of a fasting animal. Education Without Rooks. A novel plan of education has been adopted at Copenhagen, Denmark. No books are used, but the boys are in- structed orally, when at the same time they perform some light manual work, a plan that may do for very young boys. DEF TIVE P GE What Ramada Is Like. In Russia everything is large and everything is loud. Moscow is like an immense village, and everything in it is built broad. not high, because there largo much spar to cover. The public squares, un ave and surrounded by a little rim y f boles, are as big as meadoN- he arcades and passages, wi their cellars below, their shops a ve, their glass roofs. are so enor- ous that they could hold the Passage des Panoramas and the Burlington Arcade and the galleries at Milan with- out filling more than a collier of them. Colors shriek and flame; the Mus- covite eyes sees only by emphasis and by contrast; red is completed either by another red or by a bright blue. There are no shades, no retieeuces, no mod- ulations. The restaurants are filled with the din of vast mechauleal or- gans, with drums and cymbals; a great bell clashes against a chain on all the trams to clear the road; the music which one hears is a ferocity of brass. The masons who build the houses build in top boots. red shirts and pink trousers; the houses are painted red or green or blue; the churches are like the temples of savage idols. tortured into every unnatural shape and colored with glaring color. Bare feet. wsier sandals and legs swathed in rags pass to and fro among the top boots of the middle classes, the patent leather boots of the upper classes, like the inner savagery of a race still so near barbar- ism, made evident in that survival of the footgear of primitive races.— Satur- day Review. The Senate's Hole In the Wall. When the nineteenth century was as yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their toddies at the so called Hole In the Wall, a small circu- lar room just off the postoffice of the. up- per house. The latter body, as will be remembered. then occupied what is now the chamber of the supreme court, and the postoffice was across the mai corridor of the building on the me floor. When a wearer of th toga found himself in need of a "shifter," he had only to cross over to the mails department and pass through it to the little circular room aforesaid, which was about the size of a pantry. The Hole In the Wall was the first senate restaurant, and the bill of fare for edibles was short, though to the point. There were ham, guaranteed to have been smoked for six months, a veritable sublimation of the pork prod- uct; likewise cornecj, beef and bread and cheese, but very little else. They served, however, as an accompaniment fat the fluids, and when the Hole was crowded, as was often the ease, sen- ators ate their sandwiches outside, in the postoffice.—Washingtbn Post. He Obeyed. Murat Halstead, the great jojrnalist of wartimes, weut to General William T. Sherman's headquarters once for the "latest news from the front." Hal- stead was armed with many fine in- troductory letters, but decided to rely mainly on one given him by Thomas Ewing, Sherman's brother-in-law. He found the general and presented Ewing's letter. The general opened it somewhat impatiently, read a few lines, folded It and said: "Ah, you come from Ewing, and you desire to have 'all the latest news,' the `next probable move' of our army, eh? Well, there's a train leaving this town . for Cincinnati at 2 o'clock. Here, take this ticket, and step over there and get your dinner, and then get on that train." "Well, but, General Sherman"— be- gan the newspaper man. But Sherman waved him off. "Go over and get a good dinner; we have plenty and always strive to treat our friends well. But be sure you don't miss that 2 o'clock train!" And Halstead wisely obeyed. Answered. "A fool can ask more questions than a wise miitn can answer. Ain't that so?" "I can't answer you."—Indianapolis JournaL Doeea't Waste Words New.

Will Make a Cat Ran. With regard to color, both cats and dogs appear.to have little aesthetic per- ception. We have heard of a dog ap- pearing to prefer scarlet to blue, but it is difficult to eliminate the effect of as- sociation in dealing with a single in- stance. Cats, however, seem to show a definite aesthetic perception of tex- ture—aesthetic, for it is not ordinary bodily comfort which rules. They may like to sleep on velvet, but they revel, waking, in the feeling of crackling pa- per or texture of stiff silks, and there is a well authenticated story of a cat which goes into the garden to lick the undersides of foxglove leaves and can- not be kept from trying with bis tongue the texture of flannelette. Blit the keenest aesthetic pleasure for a cat lies in the region of smell The dog uses smell merely as a medium of information, but thMat revels in it. She will linger near a tree trunk, smell- ing each separate aromatic leaf for the pure pleasure of it—not like a dog, to trace friend, foe or prey. It the win- dow of a close room is opened, the cat leans out, smelling the air. New dresses are smelled, partly, perhaps, for future recognition, but also, apparently, for pleasure. A strong smell, above all a spirituous smell, is not only disagree- able, but absolutely painful. Lavender water may please a tiger, but it will put a cat to flight.—London Spectator.. Otte Way of Looking at It. "Look at this, will you?" exclaimed the real estate and house renting opti- mist. "In this paper there 1s a record of 87 marriage licenses issued yester- day." - "Well, what of it?" said bis partner, the pessimist of the firm, who was leaning back in a chair with his bat pulled down over his eyes. "What of it?" echoed the other. "Can't you see? Those 87 marriage li- censes mean 87 marriages. The 87 marriages will lead to 87 inquiries for houses, flats or at least eligible apart- ments. It's bound to stimulate busi- ness In our line. and we'll get our share." "That doesn't follow at all. Those) 87 licenses represent 174 persons, don't they?' "Probably all adults?" "Undoubtedly. What of it?" "Nothtng." growled the pessimist, "except that 174 persons who have hitherto occupied 174 apartments will hereafter occupy 87! You give me a pain! Go away!"—London Answers. Pirates of the Philippines. The Moros are born pirates. The sea seems more their home than the land. They fairly revel in the water, for, wherever possible, they build their houses in the sea, raising them on piles sunk in the shoal waters of the coast. This mode of building has been fol- lowed in all the Philippine Islands, the houses, even if miles from the sea, be- ing built on piles. It seems to suggest e, time when the Malays were watt dwellers. In truth, a backward glance through time shows us the Malay sea rovers setting out in their warpraus to conquer the multitude of islands in the south sea and haunting the coasts so as to be ready to take to the water again at a moment's notice.—Leslie's Popular Monthly.

The body of Albert Rudt, who dis- appeared from Mendota on the 10th, was found in the river yesterday among the logs of tbet St. Paul Boom Company by Patrick Walsh, an ern- ploye. The right eye was pierced as if by a bullet, the left wrist was broken, and the right thumb dislocat- ed,- indicating that the deceased bad had a struggle before his body reach- ed the river. The remains were i(ienti- fied by Esdras Bernier, of Mendota, for whom Rudt worked, and by Louis Trapp, who roomed with Rudt, and were taken to the city morgue. Morguekeeper Richardson and Under- taker Nagel, in the presence of De- tectives Daly and Sweeney, made an examination of the body. They found a watch iu one of the pockets and a purse containing $5 in another. The watch had topped at 10:40 o'clock. A receipt from Emil Geist for a $16 ring that was bought Monday was al- so found. In view of the indications of 4feu! play the coroner decided to make a thorough investigation. He made an .examination of the man's head last night, but could find no fractures, and gave it as his opinion that the eye and arms were probably injured while the body was in the wa- ter. Rudt - was -twenty-eight years, old, and came to this country from Switzerland eleven years ago. He has worked for Bernier since coming -to America, and by his industrious and thrifty' habits had saved $1,100. He was engaged to be married to Miss Clara Rabiscbke, of Annapolis Street. The wedding was set for last Saturday. Monday he and she were down town together. He purchased a ring and invested $100 in furniture. He left his bethrothed at Seventh and Wabasha Streets at about nine o'clock Monday night, and took a Ft. Snel- ling car for home. The next morn- ing his hat was found on the landing, where he had gone to take the ferry for the Mendota side of the river. Search was commenced by his friends, and the river was dragged for several clays in the hope of find- ing his body, which, it was feared, was in the water. A reward of $50 was offered for its recovery, and will be paid to Patrick Walsh who found the body yesterday. Rudt was a member of the Woodsmen of the World, and the members of that fraternity will Ii:ive charge of the funeral. -St. Pont Pioneer Press, 18t1(. The Recent Examination.

The St. Paul Daily Globe, which since Its establishment has been the recog- nized organ of the Democratic party in this state, has published its refusal to support the nominees of the national Democratic convention and given its reasons for such refusal. On July 7. following the nomination of Bryan and the adoption of the Kansas City plat- form, the Globe published the following triple -leaded editorial: A GRIME REPEATED. The St. Paul Globe Is now, bas al- ways been. and will remain, a Dem- ocratic paper. 11 has never com- promised its convictions on ques- tions for large public or party oon- eera, and never intends to do •o. Four years ago, under conditions substantially identical with those now in existence. the Globe refused to extend its advocacy to what it then 1Eegarded as a false and per- nielons economle principle. A na- tional convention of its party had adopted that principle and em- bodied it da its national platform; and with it as the chief claim of the party to the consideration of the voting population sought popular ■ustalnment. The defeat which en- sued wan ■o decisive as to convince all but a few radical and lrreepons- lble party adherents that the free coinage of silver ata ratio of 1e to 1 could never receive the indorse- ment of the American people. A lapse of four years Ands the Democracy of the country con- fronted by the same peril which proved its undoing in 1890. How does 1t meet the emergency? By *nee mere embracing the danger and adopting the folly and false- hood ander the burden of which It bad been brought to the borders of rain la its last national campaign. The Glebe stand's to -day where it stood four years ago. It is new, as it was then, opposed to the free oolastge idea. It gave expression to its opposition then; right principle astd fair dealing with its party as- ■ooiates and with the country de- mand that it give expression to it now. There is less, if possible, to justify compromise or condonement now than there was then. The party went blindly to its fate then; 1t goes now open-eyed. and becalms* of it. domination by one man. A body claiming to be deliberative in character which will submit, without protest. to coercion into the pursuit of a policy. which has al- ready proven fatal, and which is openly repudiated by the intelli- genee and enlightenment of the country, presents to the Globe no valid claim to having its decrees respected, even though it purports to give voice to the convictions of the Democracy. It lies In the mouth of no Demo- erat who accepts the dietatien which forced the 10 to 1 folly into hie national' platform to say aught against the accepted control of the Republican national convention by Senator Hansa of Ohio. That con- trol at least led in directions which pointed toward possible success. The control., of William .1. Bryan, whichunder threat of withdrawal, freed the free silver falsehood down the throat of the Kansas City tion, pointe to a pathway al- ready traveled over in the journey to Democratic defeat and disaster. This pathway the Globe refuses to follow. It refuses to support the candidates of a convention which seeks through cowardly evasion to win the support, of those whom It feared to openly challenge. What does it matter whether the frenzy of free coinage finds expresston in the first or in the last pare:creak of the Kansas City platform f It is there. The party stands committed to its embodiment in the financial policy of the nation. If 1t was a false and dangerous doctrine to as- sert 1n 1596. when the national finances and the business interests of the country were comparatively unsettled, it le a hundred times more so to -day, when the country has adjusted itself to conditions which have forced sliver from all recogsised position a■ a monetary metal. It is necessarily at great sacrifice of individual preference, as well as of selfish lousiness interest, that the Globe is forced to asenme this atti- tude toward the decrees and the candidates of the national tion of its party. But there does not appear to be any other course left open to a responsible public I 1 whose chief mission lies In the promulgation and eustalatnent of the political and economic philos- ophy whieh flrrt found expression in our public life through the founder of the Amerioan Democracy. Its advice and warning were repu- diated in Kansas City, as in Chicago. Let those who claim the credit of having forced the party to the re- assertion of the free silver fallacy also aesume the responsibility. The Globe declines participation in either. lOspep In Battle. Ons of the most curious sights to be seen in a cavalry charge is the various riderless horses galloping in the line in perfect order. At the charge of Bala- klava the front rank of one regiment was composed to a great extent of rid'• erless animals, -their masters having dropped one by one. If `would seem that in the excitement offiCe:moment the horses lose all conception of what is happening around them and proba- bly fail to notice the fall of their rid - The return of riderless horses to camp is an almost certain sign of de- feat. When a cavalry charge is suc- cessful, the horses will, as I have said, all keep up together, even though they have lost their riders, but when a force Is routed the .first news of ill omen t* those in the rear will be the return of the horses with empty saddles and stirrups dangling free. No more sorry sight can be imagined. To illustrate the callous feeling these animals have under fire a case which happened at Ladysmith during the siege may be cited. A farrier sergeant was engaged in shoeing an officer's horse in the open ground behind the stables of a hotel and had already put one or two nails into the shoe when a shell came scream- ing through the air. The next mo- ment the missile burst five or six yards away from where the sergeant and the horse were standing, and the splinters flew around both, but failed to touch either. When the smoke had cleared, the horse was to be seen with its foot still in the man's apron, quite undis- turbed by the incident. - Pearson's Magazine. Enteroptosis. More than 50 per cent of all civilized women in all classes of life have de- veloped the condition known as en- teroptosis, which means that the stom- ach, intestines, very often the kidneys and sometimes the liver, are dragged downward and remain permanently out of their proper position. Such, how- ever, is the case, and this condition more than any other cause is responsi- ble for the constipation, backache, de- bility, biliousness, early loss of com- plexion, headache and that long list of ailments of which so many women in all civilized countries are victims. - Personal Hygiene.

The body of Albert Rudt, who dis- appeared from Mendota on the 10th, was found in the river yesterday among the logs of the St. Paul Boons Company by Patrick Walsh, an em- ploye. The right eye. was pierced as if by a bullet,. the left wrist was broken, and the right thumb dislocat- ed, indicating that the deceased had had a struggle before his body reach- ed the river. The remains were identi- fied by Esdras Bernier, of Mendota, for whom Rudt worked, and by Louis Trapp, who roomed with Rudt, and were taken to the city morgue. Morguekeeper Richardson and Under- taker Nagel,, in the presence of De- tectives Daly and Sweeney, made an examination of the body. They found a watch in oue of the pockets and a purse containing $5 in another. The watch had stopped at 10:40 o'clock. A receipt from Emil Geist for a $16 ring that was bought Monday was al- so found. In view of the indications of•foul play the coroner decided to make a thorough investigation. He made an examination of the man's head last night, but could 'find no fractures; and gave it as his opini-ou that the eye and arms were probably injured while the body was in the wa- ter. Rudt was twenty-eight years old, and came to this country- from Switzerland eleven years ago. He. has worked for Bernier since corning to America, and by his industrious and thrifty- habits had saved $1,100. He was engaged to be married to Miss Clara Rabischke, of Annapolis Street. The wedding was set for last Saturday. Monday he and she were down town together. He purchased a ring and invested $100 in -furniture. He left his bethrothed at Seventh and Wabasha Streets at about nine o'clock Monday night, and took a Ft. Snel- ling car for home. The next morn- ing his hat was found on tlie landing, where he had gone to take the ferny for the Mendota side of the river. Search - was commenced by his friends, and the river was dragged for several days in the hope of find- ing his body, which, it was feared, was in the water.' A reward of $30 was offered for its recovery, and will Ile paid to Patrick Walsh who found the body yesterday: Hu(It was; a member of the Woodmen of tete World, and the ►nemhel's of that fraternity will have charge of the funeral. -St. Paid Pioneer Press. 18th. .The Recent Examination.

The St. Paul Daily Globe, which since Its establishment has been the recog- nized organ of the Democratic party In this state, has published its refusal to support the nominees of the national Democratic convention an. given its reason. for such refusal. On July 7, following the nomination of Bryan and the adoption of the Kansas City plat- form, the Globe published the following triple -leaded editorial: A CRIME REPEATED. The at. Paul Globe is now, bat al. way, been. and will remain, a Dem- ocratic paDer. It has never cem- promt.ed Its convictions on ques- tions for large public or party con- cern. and never intends to do so. Four year. ago, under conditions anbstantially identical with those now in existence. the Globe retuned to extend its advocacy to what it then regarded as a false and per- nicious economic principle- A na- tional convention of its party had adopted that principle and em- bodied it In its national platform. and with it as the chief claim of the party to the consideration of the voting population sought popular ■ustainment. The defeat which en- sued was .so decisive as to convince all but a few radical and irre.pons. lble party adherent. that the free coinage of silver at a rattle of 10 to 1 could never receive the indorse. - fatent of the American people. A lapse of four years finds the Democracy of the country Con- fronted by the same peril which proved Its undoing in 1890. How does It meet the emergencyt By once more embracing the dance and adopting the folly and false hood under the burden of which r had been brought to the border. o ruin in its last national campaign. The Globe stands to -day where it stood four year. ago. It is new, as it was then, opposed to the free coinage Idea- It gave expression to its opposition then; right principle and fair dealing with its party as- soeiates and with the country de- mand that it give expression to it now. There is less. if possible, to justify compromise or condonement now than there was then. The party went blindly to its fate then; It goes now open-eyed, and because of its domination by one man. A body claiming to be deliberative in character which will submit, without protest, to coercion into the pursuit of a policy which has al- ready proven fatal. and which 1. openly repledlated by the intelli- gence and enlightenment of the country, presents to the Globe no valid claim to having its decrees respected, even though it purport, to give voice to the convictions of the Democracy. It lies in the mouth of no Demo- crat who accepts the dictation which forced the 10 to 1 folly into his national platform to say aught against the, accepted control of the Republican national convention by Senator Hanna of Ohio. That con- trol at least led in directions ..bleb pointed toward possible encce... The control of William J. Bryan, which. under threat of withdrawal, forced the free silver falsehood down the throat of the Kansan City convention, points to a pntbway al- ready traveled over In the journey to Democratic defeat and disaster. This pathway the Globe refuses to follow. It refuses to support the candidates of a eons -cation which seeks through cowardly evasion to win the support of those whom it feared to openly challenge. What does it matter whether the frenzy of free coinage finds expression in the fleet or in the hast paragraph of the Kanen■ City platform f It Is there. The party stands committed to its embodiment in the financial policy of the nation. If It was a false and danger.... doctrine to as- sert in 1890, when the national finances and the business Interests of the country were comparatively unsettled, it is n hundred time. more so to -day. when the 'country has adjusted itself to conditions which have forced silver from all recognized position as a monetary metal. t[t le necesnnrily at great sacrifice of individual preference, ae well as of selfish busines. interest, that the Globe is forced to assume this atti- tude toward the decree. and the candidates of the national eouven- tion of Its party. But there does not appear to be any other course left open to a responsible public Journal whose chief miaalon lies In the promulgation and suntainment of the political and economic philos- ophy which first found expression in our public life through the founder of the American Democracy. Its advice and warning were repu- diated in Kansas City, as in Chicago. Let those who claim the credit of having forced the party to the re- assertion of the free silver fallacy also assume the responsibility. The Globe declines participation in either. HOsser in Battle. One of the most curious eights to be seen in a cavalry charge is the various riderless horses galloping in the line In perfect order. At the charge of Bala- klava the front rank of one regiment was composed to a great extent of rid, erless animals, -their masters having dropped one by one. If 'would seem that in the excitement of the moment the horses lose all conception of what is happening around them and proba- bly fail to notice the fall of their rid- The return of riderless horses to camp is an almost certain sign of de- feat. When a cavalry charge is suc- cessful, the horses will, as I have said, all keep up together, even though they have lost their riders, but when a force is routed the first news of 111 omen to those in the rear will be the return of the horses with empty saddles and stirrups dangling free. No more sorry sight can be imagined. To illustrate the callous feeling these animals have under fire a- case which happened at Ladysmith during the siege may be cite& A farrier sergeant was engaged in shoeing an officer'shorse in the open ground behind the stables of a hotel d had already put one or two nails in the shoe when a shell came scream- ing through the air. The next mo- menttthe missile burst flve or six yards away from where the sergeant and the horse were standing, and the splinters flew around both, but failed to touch either. When the smoke had cleared, the horse was to be seen with its foot still in the man's apron, quite undis- turbed by the incident. -, Pearson's Magazine. 1 �' ]Enteroptosis.

Another birthday, Like a nun that tells Her beads within the convent's narrow cells My soul takes heed. •Not those dull beads she loves, Although she cons thein with such eager eyes; It is because they bear her soul above And aid the yearning spirit to arise. And so I feel the years that come and go Lift me to larger lite and nobler deed, And that is why I count my birthdays so And do not sorrow as the Sett years speed; Each one a blessing like the meek nun's prayers Told on the sacred rosary she wears. —Edith Willis Linn. *h. "MARRIED EYES, HOW SWEET THEY BE. " 00 00 "Now's your chance, Deronda" cr the agent's hearty voice. When he had carried the mail b up from the depot, he had waited ut their contents were distributed. T was not a long time. It never in Excelsior. And tonight sac had blot been of sufficient weight tax his strong shoulders. But out their lankness had come a surpr for him and an opportunity for I rouda. "I can guess. It's a letter from L ole Donald. A check?" Once in awhile, at Christmas alwa a letter inclosing a check arrived fr Donald Bertram of New York. A his brother, who found his petty saki as station master of the inslgnitica Nebraska town quite incomnlensura with the needs of a large and increa ing family, hailed the advent of ea inclosure with gratitude and elation. "N -o. It's a letter from .Donald, b there's no check." He looked acro at his best loved and eldest child wi a • smile brighter than even the w come check had ever sutnmone "Guess again." She looked at hits from her opposi end of the table where she preside her mother, In true western fashio still being busied at the kitchen sto until the remaind et of her family ha a eaten. Between Deronda and her f ther a noisy and voracious young broo intervened, eight or ten of them. D ronda was kept busy attending to the needs. She and her mother "did" fo the rest. They ate as their portio whatever was left and never dreame of complaining. Labor and--- servic were their ethics of domesticity. Bu now Derbnda paused in her task o pouring out the numerous cups of mii "Father! It's good news: Keep stil Flora! What is it?" t - The tidings came out in a rush. "1 you will go to New -York for a visi the check will follow your letter of ac ce'ptanee. There!" Deronda was the healthiest girl 1 town, but for the moment she felt posi tively weak. She set down the pitcher The children clamored unheeded. "Oh!" she gasped. •'I must tel mother:" Then she was gone, and the over worked man with the kindly face wait ed on the children himself. Those that followed were excitin days. The little, straggling, low room over the depot were the scene of man confabulations, much scheming, many glorious hopes, innumerable pleasan prophecies. 'Honda, as the children called her, was going away—away into some vast and mystic fairyland, which their vivid imaginations merged in the triple ecstasy of Yuletide, heaven and the Fourth of July. But one day order was born of confusion, sobriety of hys terical anticipation. That was the day Deronda's trunk stood labeled and corded on the platform; the day Derun- (la's self, freshly and becomingly garb- ed, stood beside it, the day that Agent Bertram and Mrs. Bertram and all the numerous young Bertrams listened for the w iistie of the train at the depot eighf miles west, hung around her with growing excitement as the black column of smoke came down like the guide of those fleeing fro' t Pharaoh and clung around her in an adoring farewell, which was detrimen- tal to her tint y if flattering to her sen- sibility. Then the iron beast was upon them. A few passengers alighted. Some ex- press packages were handed off. These the agent mechanically received. Then Deronda's foot was on the first step of the Pullman. The engineer was looking back to see that the agent's pretty daughter got on safely before he pulled the throttle. The brakeman stood irresolute. The conductor loiter- ed along, deferring the signal to start, because the departure of Deronda for the east was public property all along the line, and thw"nv n who had known her since she wore short dresses and waved them a welcome when their train went by were interested in this young bird flight of hers from the overflowing family nest. A tentative whistle quivered ,on the air. "Goodby, Deronda! Have a good time!" Derontia's father gave her a hard squeeze of the hand. There was the peck of a kiss between these two who loved each other so dearly. And the train was speeding east- ward. Ab. that was a warveloips world into which Deronda went,+` a world where one wore dainty clothes from dawn until dawn, a world where the chief function of the women was to charm, that of the men to serve with most exquisite courtesy. And the meed of admiration she received when her western dresses had been -discarded for beautiful gowns was new to her. Very sweet it was too. To be sure, she had known what it was to have young men besiege her for dances and hang upon her words. But In one case those who had given her tribute were clumsy and rough handed country boys. The men to whom her later environment introduced her possessed that indefinable ala`'of breeding, of cul- ture, of distinction which can be uef- ther bought nor acquired. And she found the melody of trained voices at the opera sweeter than the triple note of the meadow lark, the scent of hot- house roses more delicious than the perfume of wild clover. And so, too, she discovered entrance- ment in the homage of Eldred Wier. Nat that in his case there was the pos- sibility of comparison. She had never been touched by the attentions of her former acquaintances. There had not been one who attracted her. When she came east, she was quite heart whole and fancy free. But missiles, the gentlest of missiles, well directed, did their deadly and delicious work. Perhaps these would not have been so promptly effective, even if burled by Dan Cupid's unerring hand, had Deronda realized that she was the bright particular star of the season. Had any one told her that her piquant, golden brown beauty, her unconscious air of aloofness, her repose begotten of prairie Iife and placid daily duty, had won for her a higher meed of ap- probation than was usually accorded a newcomer in an exclusive coterie she would have opened her serene gray eyes wide in smiling incredulity. All the girls had admirers. Almost all the girls had lovers. But not one of them had such a lover as Eldred Wier. One month passed, two, three. And always there were the same tributes, always there was the same direct and personal deference. Theaters, dinners, dances, flowers, bonbons, gloves, after- noon visits, rides and drives. Always the same low, intimate tones, the al- lurement of impassioned eyes. Then, suddenly it seemed, it was time to go home. Time to go back to the dull, little town, to the rooms over the depot, to the horde of clamorous chil- dren, Eldred Wier was the last to leave the Pullman. His worshiping eyes de- voured the beauty of the shy, ex- pectant face. His hand held hers in a close and tender clasp. Ile bent his head. He spoke in a tone that thrilled her. "You know, you must know, 1 love you. Von know, could I have my way, I would never let you go." Then the train began to move. He was gone. • • • • • • • Five years later there was a tre- mendous rush of travel westward- The Nebraska town of Wymore was one of those caught in the vortex of im- petuous pleasure seekers, although there were many health seekers, too, bound for the solacing serenity of Col- orado or the golden glory of California. A splendid summer day was waning when a snorting train disgorged its myriads on the depot platform. A young man, nervous and haggard of aspect, helped an elderly woman to alight. With scant show of patience he hurried her into the waiting room. "I tell you I've got to leave you awhile," he declared testily. "I've a letter to present to one of the eastern officials of the road. His private car is due here now. I'll be back as soon as 1 can." Heedless of her whimpered objet• tions he hurried off. A tall, beautiful young woman, most charmingly gown- ed, attracted the observation of the throng as she came down the waiting room. She noticed the woman sitting alone and evidently in distress. "Can I be of serif ,e?" she inquired, pausing. The traveler, in apparel too elaborate and youthful for her years, looked up into the gentle face of the speaker. fler wrinkled cheeks were chalky under their rouge, and her false curls and bonnet were awry. "No!" she shrilled, heedless of hear- ers. "No one can help me. 1 brought it ou myself- Me, worth half a mil- lion, to go and marry that young whip- persnapper, that leaves me here like a bale of goods! Not even a drink of water"— The young woman brought her a glass of water, set straight the disor- dered hair and bonnet and fanned the agitated old face, talking pleasantly the while. "I am bore," she said, "to meet my husband- He is one of the directors of the road. There, his special has just come in. He is coming this way." She rose eagerly. "There is some one with him," She took a step forward. "Wel- come, Will," as the stately man who had hastened to her side bent and kiss- ed her. "If It wasn't for this young lady. Eldred"— The resentful wall was cut short by a sharp exclamation. White as death Eldred Wier stared at Deronda Leigh- ton. She looked from him to the Ihrly- eled old creature on the seat. So this was why he had never written, had never come. This was why she had fancied her heart was broken until "a better man drew nigh." "Mr. Wier!" The glimmering smile In her radiant eyes maddened him. "1 have been making the acquaintance of your wife. Mr. Wier," she explain- ed, "is an old acquaintance of mine. But it is meet and part. Goodby." She swept the travelers a gracious bow. "We really must go now, Will, dear. The carriage is wafting."—Chicago Tribune.

The Lightened Dutton of the Hostess and Guests of Today. 1u these days of house parties, where perhaps a dozen friends are gathered under the same roof, the duties o hostess and guests are somewhat dif fereut from what they were some 20 years ago, when considerable re- sponsibility was felt for the entertain- ment of the friends in the home. Today they are left quite to their own amusement, with the understand- ing that they are sufficient lu them- selves, contributing their share to the pleasure of the hostess, who has placed het' home and all its luxuries at their disposal during the time they are with her. There is an up to date etiquette in the mutual obligations of hostess and guests in the social circles which has an iuflueuce upon all classes of society, and it is wise for a summer vlsitoe who is not initiated to understanl something of the pronounced independ- ence of this life, that, forewarned, she may not feel herself neglected. It is frequently the case that both host and hostess accept invitations for social evenings among their friends, leaving guests to entertain themselves with book or games, as they may pre- fer. It is no longer the custom for a host to pay for guests at outside functions. 'This has made the custom of enter- taining less of a burden financially, consequently one can afford to be more hospitable, as the dues for guests are a serious eepense for one who keeps open house. There is much good common sense under these new innovations, concludes The Household, for there is little pleas- ure or encouragement for those who entertain to place themselves in a posi- tion which demands a large expendi- ture of time, strength and money, and for most young people starting out in life it would be an impossibility. A CHILD'S COLLAR. Bade in Rose Point Crochet and I Feather Edge Braid.

The well bred summer girl bas rebel- led against the chaperon, as she does not consider her presence a necessity or a compliment to herself and her friends. One of the reasons given by the sum- mer girl for dispensing with the time honored custom is that she no longer indulges in the same dangerous pas- times as did her sisters of years gone by. F'or instance, she does not accept invitations to sail in the moonlight un- less she is one of a party comprising married and unmarried people in abun- dance. Nor does she wander along the beach after a dance in the ballroom, be- cause the dampness Is liable to ruin her gown and give her a severe cold. She no longer deprives her mother or her mother's friends of her society and is as frequently seen in their company as with the masculine element. She never attends a bop at a neighboring hotel alone, because 1f her family are cottage holders they are sure to receive invitations for the ball, and so it Is quite natural that the entire party should go together. If by chance the summer girl Is at a hotel, she seldom shows her preference for other hotels by aecepting invitations for dances at them. This year's summer girl is not one bit affected. She does not seek to collect engagement rings. Her natural pride revolts against the idea of allowing complications to arise" by engaging her- self to a plan whom she has not known for years or of giving him a right to assume a familiar attitude toward her and to call her by her first name. Such is the New York Herald's estimate of the 1900 summer girl. Succotash. In making succotash cook the corn and the lima beans separately because of the longer time required by the lat- ter in cooking. Use equal quantities of the corn and beans and mix them when both are . tender. Add a little milk and let the succotash remain on the atove until the milk is 'absorbed. Just before serving season with pep- per, salt and butter and serve very hot. Incombustible Houses In flassisl, Complex methods have been follow- ed in Russia, but a simple invegtiup there is becoming popular—namely, to wash the wood with solution of am- monium sulphate, followed by potaati solution, thus forming sulphate of pot- ash and precipitating insoluble alumi- na in the poreif of the wood.—Popular A Pillow For Traveling, Take a strip of dark blue linen 16 inches wide and 52 inches long.

A good. industrious mosquito, with ' his biting apparatus In thorough work- ing order• can successfully banish sleep ; until he has had his voracious appetite appeased, and one fly bent on a migra-_ ' tory trip about one's face can likewise prove a most effectual disturber of morning naps. but none of these in- sects can work his evil will if the sleep- er be protected by the net pictured in our last illustration, says The Design- er. Time was when the mosquito net '10 INSURE SWEET SLUMBER. was an ugly, clumsy mass of material not so securely arranged but that a particularly wary insect might find his way therein, but now all that is chang- ed, and the pretty white or pink drap- ery arranged as in the picture is really an ornament to the bed which it pro- tects. The net is so long that it hangs to the ground and laps well in front. Free anal Easy Fashions. The girl of the latest fashion when lifting her dress draws the skirt from the right side over and upward to the left, holding it very tightly across the body and catching it up on the left hip. This not only exposes the shoes and part of a dainty petticoat, but outlines the figure in a manner approved by the Paris modistes. At Newport which sets summer fashions the bareheaded girl is a familiar figure on trolley cars, on the streets and at roof gardens, and state- ly dames are not behind in the pro - .cession of fashion, but bare their white locks to the refreshing breezes, while a number of the men are disciples of the hatless fad, with the consequence of complexions rivaling the hue of ma- hogany. As another vagary of the season at some of the Jersey seaside resorts the girls turn up their shirt waist sleeves and pin the cuffs to the shoulder, thus exposing the arm from elbow to wrist, while the coatless men push their shirt sleeves up in a solid roll as far aa they will go. Forewarned. A Yorkshire vicar tells how he once received the following note from one of his parishioners: "This is to give no. tics that I and Miss Jemima Brearley are coming to your church on Saturday afternoon next to undergo the opera- tion of matrimony at your hands. Please be prompt, as the cab is hired by the hour. Forewarned is forearm• -ed."—London Tit -Bits. She Is a Pietas* Islrelker. To be equal to the occasion is a sure passport to lucrative employment. The increasing popularity of illustration, as every writer has discovered, tends to decrease the demand for and conse- quently the price of "copy." Early perceiving the drift of the market, a clever, enterprising woman scribbler began some time ago to collect photo- graphs of noted people and places, which she lends for a fixed price to newspapers and periodicals. Having lived in Paris and London, she is in direct communication with the conti- nental photographers, who send to her regularly the latest photographs of court and society beauties, royalty and all persons,in the public eye. Every Monday 1 orning this novel picture broker may be met in Park row mak- ing her weekly round of the newspaper offices, submitting new picturr, s for the coming Saturday or Sunday supple- ments and collecting the pictures used In the publications of the preceding week. Generally each photograph is accompanied by 200 or 300 words of descriptive matter. Frequently the same photograph is rented over and over again. Her stock in trade, like that in Wall street, has its ups and downs, but her income from the photo- graphs alone nets her a good weekly income, Fall Coiffure. The arrangement of the hair at the back for evening wear requires that it shall always be pushed as far forward as possible straight up from the nape of the neck to above the crown of the head, but it is then pulled down again so that the soft waves will show. The ears, says Harper's Bazar, are almost hidden by this arrangement of hair. There is a part sometimes on one side of the head or Just in the middle, and then the hair is pulled up on either aide of the part so that it looks full and soft and, of course, thick. This fash- ion of soft, full, hair is, as a rule, more becoming than a more severe style, but the trouble is that the hair requires to be kept in most perfect order. It must be well brushed and washed often and always well combed; otherwise it looks untidy, and au untidy head Is more unfashionable now than it ever was known before. Glossy, well brushed locks with a slight wave through them make every woman look well, but a mass of hair all ruffled up and looking as though rata had been in it is a most untidy way of arranging the hair. It Is unbecoming and not in the least smart. Sunlihine a Hair Tonle, Women sometimes appear to quite forget that their hair is their crown of glory and that if they neglect to keep it nice no amount of money spent on ele- gant toilets will make them present a pleasant appearance. Hair may look fluffy and carelessly arranged and yet show that it is well cared for. Some faces indeed require an apparently careless style of hairdressing, but this effort must be brought about with art and never by neglect. A good tonic for the hair ! sunshine and fresh air. The Greek girls who sat on the city walls and gave their hair a daily sun bath were wise. The modern woman cannot exactly follow their ex- ample, but at any rate she can refrain from tightly braiding her hair at night and can leave it loose so that the• air may get at it. Then when she washes her hair, which in summer should not be less often than once a fortnight, she can sit in a sunny window till it is dry. Sunshine does not dry the scalp as ar- tificial heat is bound to do, but it gives life and vigor to the hair. How to wash China. The care of china if it is to retain its gloss and delicate coloring for an indef- inite period is not so simple as it ap- pears, though soap, hot water and a soft washrag are all the essentials for keeping it in first class order, says The American Queen. China should never be rubbed with anything gritty. Sapo- lio and such things ruin its gloss and destroy its color, and its gloss once de- stroyed or even scratched renders a nice appearance thereafter an impossi- bility. After being carefully washed in plenty of warm, soapy water—the soap itself should never be put into the dish- pan—it should be rinsed in clear, warm water and then allowed to drain. Chi- na thus treated retains its pristine ap- pearance for years. A Leader In Polities. Since political parties must have lead- ers, happy is the party that bas such a leader as Annie Diggs! Her power Is her absolute Sincerity and unselfish de- votion to peincipies. Whether these principles aie right or wrong, they are her principles and those of her party. Like John Breidenthal, Mrs. Diggs is an extreme socialist. She had a plan to organize the women into common- wealth clubs and to prepare the rising generation of Kansas for the adoption of socialistic principles. The Kansas women organized all other kinds of clubs, but did not take kindly to the Diggs kind. Nevertheless Mrs. Diggs continues to talk socialism and to ex- press confidence that it is coming.— Woman's Journal. Useful Some Day Perhaps. Husband—What! You bought an ar- tificial arm?

Kate Masterson, the poet and humor- ist, thus describes the beginning of her literary career: "I was at school iu Brooklyn when I first sent a poem to Judge, signing it Kittle K. It was accepted and pub- lished with an illustration, and my cup of joy was brimming. When I got a check for $2, I effervesced, I then sent some verses to Puck, which was then edited by H. C. Bunner. They were also signed Kittie K., but were writ- ten from a masculine point of view, and, as I wrote a very gentlemanly hand, Bunner evidently came to the conclusion that I was a boy. He sent me some very funny letters, and I re- plied, keeping up the idea that I was a very fresh, slangy boy. He accept- ed the verses, `She Stood on the 'Stair,' and they were published in a Christmas number with a picture. As this was only the second poem I had sold in my life, you can imagine how wildly anxious I was to have it ap- pear. I bothered 'Bunner with in- quiries, for of urse that was the only poem on a rth to pie just then. I recollect flnall writing him, `Do you think my poem will be published dur- ing my lifetime?' "He wrote me, 'My dear boy, I can- not say if your poem will be published during your lifetime, as I do not know when you are going to die.' "—Satur- day Evening Post. Base Apathy. "Say, Thompson, did you ever notice that I was brutally indifferent to my children?" "Certainly not. You're quite the con- trary, Holmes." "Well, do I look like a miscreant who would be only too glad to abandon them to the mercy of strangers?" "Of course not. Whatever put such an idea into your head?" "Or have I the reputation of being so selfish that I would not disturb or exert myself in the slightest to secure their safety from the most desperate danger?" "No, indeed. Who's been accusing you of such things?" "My wife." "Your wife? Why?" "Why, little Johnny got himself lost for a couple of hours the other day, and all I did was to notify the police, hire every private detective in town and rouse all the neighbors to help hunt for him." "Wasn't that enough?" "No. She insists that I am a brutal, selfish miscreant and several other things because I refused to do all she wanted me to." "Why, what more was possible?"

It is well known that Joseph Medill of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat deaf, although his ability at times to hear what was said 111 an ordinary tone of voice was frequently remarked. It is related of him that he dropped into the business department of the of- fice one day to make an inquiry about something that' had occurred to him, and a young man who had been in his employ only a few months undertook in a loud tone of voice to enlighten him. "What did you aay't" asked Mr. Me - dill, putting his hand to his ear. The young man repeated the question in a still louder voice. "I can't hear you," said the editor. "Oh, chase yourself around the block, you old granny!" muttered the impa- tient employee jest above his breath. "I am not an old granny," said Mr. Medill, turning away, "and I shall not chase myself around the block." The fresh young man made imme- diate arrangements to. -say goodby to his job, but the great editor probably thought that the lesson he had received was sufficient and did not disturb him. A Story of Cnlberwen. In the Fifty-first congress, when Speaker Reed first gained the title of "czar" by his arbitrary decisions, Judge Culberson was one of his strongest supporters, although he gave the speak- er no public indorsement, for political reasons. One afternoon while the Dem- ocrats were in a terrible tumult over a decision of the speaker and the pro- ceedings of the house were very near riot a thunderstorm came up. When the confusion was highest, a blinding flash of lightning and a terrible crash of nature's artillery startled every soul on the floor and caused a profound si- lence. Judge Cuiberson, like every- body else, was deeply moved, but was the first to recover. "That was God Almighty, sir, calling this house to or- der," he exclaimed In an impressive tone; addressing the speaker. Then, turning to his colleagues, he said, "Now let us proceed to business like men." A Chicken Plucking Machine. A device has been invented by a western packing house for picking chickens.

After some years of artistic striving There are some women who decline the empire gown has won its way into to ,wear dotted veils, there are a few fashion's affections. Directly opposed who refuse to wear veils of any kind, but the great majority of them would as soon go out of doors without a collar as without a veil. Some of these en- thusiasts have been collecting statis- tics, and they are triumphant. Men never wear veils, they say, except in the deserts, where dust storms are fre- quent, and yet men habitually resort to the use of glasses at an earlier age than woreen. They likewise call atten- tion to the fact that women habitually do fine needlework and embroidery, which is far more trying to the eyes than the work of the average man could possibly be. In regard to the statement that veils are injurious to the complexion, these women argue that not only does a veil keep the dust out of the pores, but it protects the tender cuticle from the ef- fects of wind and sun and so prevents wrinkles and retards the Inevitable darkening of the skin by the march of time. That a filmy bit of silk tissue or lace can beat the skin and cause It to be covered with a sticky moisture is, they declare, impossible. That it can interfere with the circulation is also ex- treraely unlikely. And so madam, se- cure in the panoply of her own obser- vation and experience, calmly proceeds to tie a fresh veil over her pretty face and go other conquering way. to the flowing lines and more generous amplitude of the Louis gowas comes the classical simplicity of the empire, for the expressing of which all the softest, most clinging fabrics are em- ployed, together with lacy.

There are a number of simple but valuable little articles with which the toilet table of the wise summer girl is always equipped. No toilet table is complete without borax. It softens the water and removes grease from the face without parching the skin, as am- monia sometimes does. The wise summei girl will have a small bottle of fresh lemon juice put on her toilet table every morning. It will draw the inflammation from prick- ly heat, as well as subdue a too ruddy complexion. It will remove stains from the skin or nails and if used daily with an orange stick will hinder any growth of the cuticle. Put in water It Is splendid as a skin tonic or taken in- ternally, two teaspoonfuls in a glass of water every morning, will serve as a mild purgative. A box of cold cream will suggest it- self. A little cold cream rubbed on the skin and puffed over with powder will do much toward preventing sunburn. Pennyroyal is highly recommended by experienced mosquito warriors who have defied these pests for years. Cam- phor also is effective in keeping mos- quitoes away, as well as in soothing their bites. . The list of toilet articles Is not com- plete without a vial of tincture of ben- zoin. It softens the water, adds bril- liancy to the skin and imparts a subtle fragrance to the person of the bather. All athletic girls must realize the val- ue of witch hazel for the sprains and bruises so frequent during summer outings.—Philadelphia Time& How to Keep coot. A physician says that diet is of great importance in keeping cool during hot weather. Fish, chicken, vegetables and fruit are the best food. Breakfast should be as light as possible and prin- cipally of fruit Luncheon should con- sist of vegetable salad and a light des- sert, and dinner should be composed of soup, fish, chicken, vegetables, salads and simple dessert. Salads are espe- cially desirable. The quantity eaten should be small. Overloading the stomach is even more dangerous in summer than in other sea- sons. Drinking should be on a moder- ate plan also, and alcoholic liquors should be absolutely avoided. A reasonable amount of exercise is beneficial, as it eliminates excess of fat. A half hour of vigorous exercise in the morning, with lightest possible clothing, followed by a warm bath and a cola sponge, will enable one to en- dure comfortably the hottest day. A substitute for exercise is a bot air bath, which, however, does not strengthen as the exercise does. A W. C. T. U. Organiser.

New Guinea and Australia, have not yet forgotten the pleasure their ancestors had in feast- ing on the flesh of white men wheu- ever a ship was so unfortunate as to be wrecked on their coast. An English lady who visited the island a few years ago to paint native flowers and the scenery was reminded o'( this old cus- tom in a way nowise eamNimentary to her personal eppearance. After breakfast I weut with some of the native girls to the top of the hill to sketch. You would have been amus- ed to see me trying to make myself un- derstood by signe and by drawing pic- tures on the sand. The mosquitoes bit my wrists and hands, and my companions were de- lighted when I pulled up my sleeve and were much amused either at the thin- ness of my arms or the color, for they laughed heartily and -tried to make me understand that they were no good for food. One girl, less shy than the others, took my atm up and pretended to bite it; then, making a wry face and shak- ing her head, she put It down and laid her own sleek brown one beside it, pat- ting it impressively to let me see what a superior article it was.—Youth's Com- panion. Rousseau and Mme, d'Epinay, It is in .1750 that Mme. d'Epinay offers Rousseau the famous "Hermi- tage"—the little house situated near La Chevrette, on the borders of the for- est of Montmorency and belonging to M. d'Epinay. Rousseau responds to the offer after his mnner. "Do you want to make me a valet, a dependent, with your gift?' says he, and he takes it. Madame has now the satisfaction of seeing every day the greatest scoun- drel and genius of the time. Here is the man at once mean and great, lower than the beasts in his instincts and with aspirations reaching to the gods. Here he is, very vile, but not wholly vile, mixed in the basest intrigues, vain, mad, morbid, lying, treacherous and yet with ideals not all ignoble and a rugged earnestness not to be denied. Madame's pleasure at being so near- ly in touch with a celebrity can never be quite unalloyed. The celebrity is from the first consistently rude and un- grateful, always taking offense where no offense is meant, piqued, childish, ridiculous and obstinately seeing the world en noir.—Longman's Magazine. Napoleon House. There is a house in Ring street, Lon- don, known as "Napoleon House." It was to that house that the ex -king of Spain, Joseph Bonaparte, then under the name of Comte de Surville, came to persuade his nephew to forego all claim to the Imperial throne. While living there Louis Napoleon forgot his latchkey one night, having changed his clothes. WhIle strolling up and down the Haymarket, undecided what to do, he met by chance Miss Howard, whom he afterward created Comtesse de Beauregard and who lent him a mat- ter of £40,000 to stave off his creditors, thus enabling him to wait for better days.

The two sofa pillows here shown are selected on account of their simple and practical nature from illustrations of a series of designs for good sofa pillows, submitted in prize competition to The Ladies' Home Journal, which thus describes them: "Sofa pillow made of pink and black No. 7 satin ribbon interwoven.

Two other attractive descriptiont from the same source are: "Sofa pillow made of crimson denim with dark blue fleur-de-lis embroider- ed upon it in dark red silk. The edgi is finished with a crimson cord. The back is dark blue denim. This may be called a Pennsylvania pillow. "Inexpensive sofa pillow made from huck toweling embroidered with wash silks In white, pink, light green, light and dark yellow and black. The ruf- fle is of bright red silk. The back of the pillow is of the toweling." Making Pickle... In making pickles only the best cider vinegar should be used. If a green color is wanted in sour cucumber pickles, it can be obtained by putting them into cold vinegar in a porcelain lined kettle and letting them heat slow- ly over a slow fire until they are green. Only granite or porcelain lined kettles should be employed in making pickles. Mold can be avoided by putting nasturtiums or pieces of horse radish root into the pickle Jars, which should always stand in a dry and dark place. A New T 1 Courtship, An Indiana brunette for some days had been suffering from a supposed attack of pleurisy, but when Dr. S. F. Bordman was called In he found that one of the young lady's ribs was frac- tured. After much questioning the girl blushingly admitted that her beet beau had Inflicted the injury while giving her his usual tender embrace before parting on his last visit. The occurrence of the accident was marked by a sharp 'train in the side, "a catch In her breath" and a sudden relaxation of her hold.—Chicago Medical Re- Moody's 'vote of Thanks.' Possibly the most novel response ever inside to a request to return a vote of thanks to a chairman was that made by Mr. Moody during his first visit to England. He had attended a meeting at which the Earl of Shaftesbury was chairman. The duty of proposing a vote of thanks was assigned to him and the announce- ment made: "Ouri• American cousin, the Rev. Mr. Moody of Chicago, will now move a vote of thanks to the noble earl who has presided on this occasion." The whole thing was quite out of Mr. llfoody's line. English formalities might or might not have come gracefully from his lips had he attempted them, but he did not. With an utter disre- gard of conventionality he burst upon the audience with the bold announce- ment: "The speaker has made two mis- takes. To begin with, I'm not the Rev. Mr. Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight L. Moody, a Sunday school worker. And thea I'm not your American cousin. By the grace of God I'm your brother, interested with you in our Father's work for his children. "And now about this vote of thanks to the 'noble earl for being our chair- man this evening.' I don't see why we should thank him any more than he should thank us. When at one time they offered to thank our Mr. Lincoln for presiding over a meeting in Illinois, he stopped it. He said he'd tried to do his duty, and they'd tried to do theirs. He thought it was about an even thing all round." That opening fairly took the breath away from Mr. Moody's hearers. Such a talk could not be gauged by any known standard. Mr. Moody carried his English audiences with him from that beginning to his latest labors.— Youth's Companion. The Astor Butcher Trust. From the northern end of Chatham square starts the Bowery, and a few steps from its commencement is the building now used as a Germen thea- ter, which was once the Old Bowery. Before the Bowery theater and previ- ous to the Revolution the same site occupied by a building which has a place in history because Washington slept in it. This was the Bull's Head tavern. Being close by the city slaugh- ter houses, all the butchers who came to town stopped at this inn, making it the first commercial inn of its day. During the Revolution Henry Astor, brother of John Jacob Astor, owned the Bull's Head tavern. He leased It to Richard Varian, But Varian went privateering and left the inn to be conducted by his wife. Astor was a butcher and conducted his business in the Fly market in Maiden lane. He incurred the enmity of all the butchers in the town by con- ceiving the brilliant idea of riding far out along the Bowery lane, rneetlng the drovers as they brought their cat- tle to town and buying their stock, which he sold to the other butchers at his own price. As the lane was really the only road to the city, Astor in this way formed a trust and prospered for many years. The inn, too, prospered until 1826, when it gave place to the Bowery theater.—Home Journal. Re Let Him Ont. The king of Naples, in the plenitude of his absolutism, paid one day a visit to the Neapolitan prisons in order to see for himself what sort of men his criminals were and whether they really deserved the punishments they were undergoing. "What is your sentence?" be said to one. "Fifteen years, your majesty." "And what had you done r "Nothing whatever." "Quite innocent?" "En- tirely so, your majesty." "And you?" he asked another. "Thirty years, sire. Victim of false accusation." "And you?" to a third. "In for life, my king." "And what had you done 7' "Everything you can think of, my king; theft, burglary, highway robbery, man- slaughter, murder. I only wonder they did not sentence me to death." "What is your name?" asked the king. "My name," replied the first class criminal, "since I have been here has been 912." After finishing his tour of inspection the king said to the governor: "All .the prisoners here seem to be perfectly in- nocent. There is only one bad man among them, No. 912. You had better let him out, lest he corrupt the others." —Argonaut. Teach Children Economy In Little Teach children not to waste trifles which they often throw away without thought, and which if saved might be of use to others if not to themselves. Wrapping paper, pieces of twine, odds and ends of various kinds may do serv- ice a secorld time if put away until the need for them arises. The habit of economy is one that ought to be cultivated, for careful saving makes lavish giving possible. Hoarding is not a vice of childhood, nor should it be encouraged, but the wise husband- ing of resources for future expenditure is a valuable lemon that cannot be learned too early.—Laffles• Home Jour- nal.

HANDSOME THOUGH SIMPLE EM- BROIDERIES FOR THE PIANO. A Bold Design of Ribbon Streamers and Flowers For a Piano Raok—A Charming Keyboard Sachet or Pro- tector—A Good Couvrette. Beautiful embroideries used for the decoration of the pianoforte and its ac- cessories are distinctly in accord with the fitness of things, a linking together of the gentle arts which can never be out of place. There is a variety of ways in which the skill of the era - EMBROIDERED PIANO BACK. oroideress can be made to do honor to the art of the musician. Ever since it has been wisely recognized that the right position for a cottage pitino Is not to be pushed back against the wall, but to stand well out into the noom, the question of how to turn its somewhat uncompromising expanse of back to decorative account has been one for careful consideration. Some- times the solution is productive of ex- tremely pleasing results, sometimes very much the reverse. When it serves the purpose of a screen, breaking up the formai arrange- ment of the chairs and sofas and cre- ating a pleasant little alcove or fire- side corner, no method Is more satis- factory than to cover it, screenwise, with an effective panel of embroider j. Such a scheme is suggested in e sketch, the idea of the designer being that the needlework should harmonize in character with the pretty flowered and beribboned chintzes which now lend their charm to many a drawing room or boudoir. For the baekground is advised a Ro- man satin, moire velours or poplin, ivory white or warm cream in tone. The ribbon streamers and festoons could be literally rendered and quickly worked in the soft tinted f'reatir salons used for broad ribbon embroid- ery, laid down,with an outline of fine Japanese gold thread. A charming ef- fect would be glyn-lay twining togeth- Or two ribbons of different colors—say rose and pink or pale green and white. Embroider the flowers in their natural coloring In filo floss silk, with touches of chenille in the stems, foliage and centers. In working the scroll border take care that it is well subordinated in color to the main design. It may be a soft yellow, almost buff, accen- tuated with gold thread, a soft gray green or a quiet brown, also blended with gold. When finished, the panel might be mounted on velvet or cloth of a rather dark olor, repeating some shade used in the work and harmoniz- ing with the prevailing tones of the surroundings. Linen worked with flax thread or fine tapestry wool might be substituted with excellent effect for the materials above described. When a piano is constantly left open, it is a capital plan to protect the keys by covering them with a narrow strip of silk. This gives an opportunity for charming needlework decoration. Sup- pose the keyboard cover to be of white or pale tinted satin, the design—for In- stance, branches of almond blossom— should be in fine ribbon work and a scroll with its motto, "Music, When Soft Voices Die, Vibrates In the Mem- ory," outlined in gold or silver thread. There should be a lining of thinly quilted silk, pink or green, which could be delicately perfumed with violet, lemon verbena or any other favorite sachet powder. Nowhere 1s good needlework seen to better advantage than adapted as a rug or couvrette to throw over the end of a grand piano. A refined and slinple but at the same time exceedingly ef- fective design is that which completes my suggestions in the second sketch. The coloring must, of course, be suited to the room for which it is Intended, but an agreeable scheme would be to work the cones in white flax thread, in satin stitch with black outline and steins, on a ground of cucumber green linen, crushed strawberry or some oth- er artistic shade. If a strong color ef- fect be aimed at, the rug might be of flame colored sflk, the design being worked in rope silk. The points of the large cones could be embroidered in a light blue green, shading to green at the base, those of the smaller ones in lemon yellow, shading to chestnut .1' -4461.;• "!

We are ready to admit without argument that John Lind has made a fairly good governor, but we would ask in what particular has he made a better governor than any of his prede- cessors? Have any burdens been Lift- ed from the shoulders of the dear people through his actions, have taxes been reduced, or are the people in any better circumstances because of his having sat in the gubernatorial chair for two years? Of course these ques- tions might be asked of any governor, but we have never had a truly reform governor before, and those people, who voted for him two years ago be- cause he promised to shake things up and expose great rascality, have a right to ask them and are entitled to an answer before voting for Mr. Lind again. -Elk River Star News.

St. Ronifaee Church. s- The interior of St. Boniface Church has been made more beautiful by the addition of three elegant new „Altars, furnished by Ehlenz & Co., of St. Paul, at an estimated cost of up- wards of $3,000. They are of Gothic design, in conformity with the architecture of the building. The main altar, with canopy top, in point of.artistic design and finish cannot lee excelled, and readily attracts the visitor's eye upon .entering. The canopy is natural wood and gold and the main altar white and gold, its frontispiece containing a ..relief carv- ing of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. The front canopy pillars are crowned with standing figures of angels, bearing electric light torches. There are also ten statues and stat- uettes. On pedestals, near the sanc- tuary railing on the Gospel side, is a beautiful flew statue of the Sacred Heart and on the Epistle side a stat- ue of St. Boniface," the patron saint of the church. The side altars are unique, one of the Blessed Virgin, the other of St. Joseph. The latter also contains an elegant new statue. They are finished in natural wood and gold. The floors are covered with' a handsome heavy velvet carpet. The new altars no doubt will prove a source of pride te the congregation and a delight to the worthy pastor, whose energy and genial personality has done so much to improve the con- dition et the parish in every material manner. The altars were placed in position this week. Inver Grove Items. Miss Eda Maguire spent Sunday in SL Paul. E. E.

Several years ago one Johnnie Curry was a cashier for the American Express Company at Little Falls. He became short several hundred dollars, the company sent a special agent there, and the case was settled by his step father, Herman Hy son, giving a mortgage on his farm some distance from Little Falls as security for the amount. The mortgage was not paid and was in due time fore- closed. The year of redemption has now expired and the attorneys for the Mississippi, Kansas, & Texas Railroad Company, which has come into the title to the land, brings an action, with D. T. Calhoun as its at: torney, in ejectment. Hyson's attor- ney set up a defense that the express company in effecting the cash settle- ment with Curry compounded a felony and thereby lost any legal right to recover, as the deal was il- legal. The case is a decidedly unique one and its outcome will be watched with a large degree of inter- est by attorneys and laymen alike. - St. Cloud JOlIrnel-Press.

Some one must lead the forlorn hope, and Schaller was selected. -Cannon Falls Beacon. • Lord Russells Dilemma. Once, when he first came to Lon- don and was laying the foundation of his great career, says a London letter, the future Lord Chief Justice Russell went to the pit of a theater. The piece was popular, the pit was crowded and the young advocate had only standing room. All of a sudden a man at his aide cried out that his watch was stolen. Mr. Russell and two other men were hemmed in. "It Is one of you three," cried the man minus the watch. "Well, we had better go out and be searched," said Mr. Russell, with the alertness of mind that did not fall him at a trying moment amid atr excited crowd. A detective was at hand, and the suggestion was accepted. As Mr. Russell walked out the idea flashed through his mind that if the man be- hind him had the stolen property he would probably try to secrete It in the pocket of his front rank man. Quick as thought he drew his coattails about him -only to feel, to his horror, some- thing large and smooth and round al- ready in his pocket. While he was still wondering what this might mean for him, the detective energetically seized the hindmost man, exclaiming: "What, you rascal! At it again!" To Mr. Russell and the other man he apologized and bade them go free. But Mr. Russell, before he had taken many steps, reflected that he could not keep the watch. He went back to the box office and explained, with a cour- age on which he afterward said he rarely experienced greater demands, that though he did not take the watch he had it. So saying, he put his band Into his pocket and pulled out -a for- gotten snuffbox. Twice Eich Month. The Northern Pacific Railway runs home seekers excursions. These excur- sions are run on the first and third Tues- days of the month. Tickets are sold from eastern terminals to points on main line and branches west of Aitkin and Little Falls, Minn., in nearly all cases, at one fare plus $2.00 for the round trip. Time is given for intending settlers and homeseekers to stop at various places and examine the conditions prevailing; prices of land, etc.. with a view of purchasing homes at most desirable points. The northwest is the coming country. Good land is becoming scarce and these excursions offer opportunities, for young people especially, to procure homes in the finest portions of the northwest, in most cases reached only by the Northern Pacific. For more detailed information regard- ing the scope and conditions surrounding these excursions, valuable literature about the country, etc.. call on or write to Chas. S. Fee, general passenger agent, St. Paul, Minn. For six cents Mr. Fee will send Wonderland 1900, the finest illustrated descriptive tourist book pub- lished. Evan Railson, the bonanza farmer of Norway Lake, has tried an experi- ment in tobacco raising. - Ile informs us that he planted a half acre of to- bacco last spring simply as au exper- iment, and has now realized a crop of eighteen hundred pounds. A couple of experts in tobacco raising, Messrs. John Lawrence and Henry Tollefson, of Stoughton, Wis., visited his farm and pronounced it the finest field of tobacco they ever saw. The planting was done rather late in the season, but the richness of the soil gave it a very rapid growth. Mr. Railson's ex- periment is only one of a number tried in different products by farmers of the state, which shows that Min- nesota can gain a reputation in other lines than wheat raising. -Willmar Tribune. Church Announcements. There will be the usual service at the Presbyterian Church to -morrow morning. No service in the evening.

In his speech accepting the Populist nomination for President, Bryan tried to justify the Democracy's successive changes of "paramount" base from free trade to free silver, and from free silver to free slaughter -called "Anti - Imperialism" -on the ground that sys- tems of taxation can be changed with less difficulty than financial systems. and financial systems can be altered with less danger and leas disturbance to the country than the vital doctrines upon which free government rests, In such a suggestion of the compara- tive ease with which both free trade and tree silver can be accomplished through a Democrati cvictory, Bryan admits something dangerously sug- gestive of truth. He practically states that the Democracy need not fight. especially just now, for either free trade, or free silver, because, if a vic- tory be won for "anti-imperialism," beth free trade and fret silver would be easy incidentals to sucfi a victory. As a matter of fact, if Bryan could be able, by his election to the presidency, to accomplish his "anti-imperialism" plank, by alienating our territory, he could accomplish, just as easily, both free trade and free silver. If a Repub- lican senate would be a barrier to free trade and free silver, it would be a bar- rier to his schemes for unconstitution- ally abandoning the territory belong- ing to the United States. if Bryan tried to get the senate to ratify a treaty with Agulnaldo sur. rendering American rights and the rights of our Filipino allies, and also a new treaty with Spain, absolving us from our responsibilities under the old treaty, it would take a two-thirds vote of the senate each time. Bryan worked hard to get the necessary two-thirds vote for the treaty with Spain, by which the United States came into pos- session of the territory he now wants given away, .and he was successful in his work. To undo that work he would have to strive a great deal harder. To get a free trade bill, or a free silver bill through, he has, however, only to get a majority of votes in the House of Representatives and the senate. If the Democratic party can get the control of both branches of congress. that would enable it to full ycarry out Bryan's "paramount" anti-American policy in the Philippines. It would al- so have the power to still more easily carry into effect the unparamount free trade and free silver features of Bry- an's prcgramme. Small Investors Paying Up. "The small investors have been pay- ing off in a wonderful way the obliga- tions assumed during the World's Fair boom. The market has consisted of safe investments for income, and buy- ing for use," said Mr. B. A. Fessenden, a prominent real estate dealer. "Looking back over the past four years and trying to imagine what would have been the conditions of the real estate business if Bryan had beet. elected, one realizes what an escape we had, and it does not seem possible that any sane man would be willing to try a change of this administration of skilled men trained to their work, who have grown up to the problems that must be solved, for that of men untried and led by a man without executi'q experience. We do not need a voice at this time, but a clear, trained mind. "The men who are willing to work are all busy, the factories are running an requiring more room, our hotels are crowded with country merchants, and the rails are hot with traffic. "What our real estate men want to have is this kind of thing continuing as it is. It means houses for the working- men, and for the employers sites for factories and warehouses." No Scuttling Polley. There must be no scuttle policy in the Philippines. We will fulfill in the Philippines the obligations imposed by the triumphs of our arms and by the treaty of peace, by international law, by the nation's sense of honor, and, more than all, by the rights, interests and conditions of the Philippine peo- ples themselves. No outside interfer- ence blocks the "way to peace and a sta- ble government. The obstructenists are here, not elsewhere. They may post- pone, but they cannot defeat the real- ization of the high purpose of this na- tion to restore order in the islands and establish a just and generous govern- ment, in which the inhabitants shall have the largest participation for whch they are capable. The organized forces which have been misled into rebellion have been dispersed by our faithful soldiers and sailors, and the people of the islands, delivered from anarchy, pillage and oppression, recog- nize American sovereignty as the sym- bell and pledge of peace, justice, law, religious freedom, education, the se- curity of lite and property, and the welfare and prosperity of their several communities. --William McKinley. Policemen to Go Next. To be thoroughly consistent in his statement that the withdrawal from the ranks of the producers of the men now in the army will make it hard for the remaining producers, Mr. Bryan should ask for the mustering out of all the policemen In the cities of the coun- try. The soldiers are national police- men, just the same as the recognized police of the cities are the representa- tives of munioipal authority. Consent of the Governed. Since the Devil quoted Scripture for his peculiar purpose, there has been no similar foray to that made by Bryan on the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson Davis led off 1n 1880, claiming the "consent of the governed" forbade the enforcement of the authority of the United States in the South, and now, echoing his words, come Bryan, with a like claim as to the PhitUppines. No "Consent" at Washington, D. C. Dr. W. A. Habereorn of Washington, D. C., is advocating Bryan's election on the "consent of the governed" issue. Dr. Habereorn is worrying a great deal about the guerilla Taiga's. If. has not extended his campaign to the residents of Washington, who have no vote. They seem to get along pretty well. They are governed, but have nothing to say about the matter. Reason for Electing McKinley. President Meainley'sle ter of accept- ance has displeased the editors of the Parisian dallies. Remembering the at- titude 4! the French press toward this country during the Spanish war, this gives more reason wily the president should be re-eleoted. With the exception of Norway, there is -no country in Europe whose area is so taken up by forests as Germany, more than a quarter of its surface be- ing devoted to them. There Is a new cloth of fine texture and has beautiful satin sheen which, it is predicted, will prove popular for waists. FURNITURE SALE. Having bought the H.

Story of a Hidden Treasure. BY FREDERICK J. BURNETT. The wheels of train No. 14 on the Michigan Central were just clicking over the last switch out of Kalamazoo as I leaned back in the corner of the smoking room to enjoy my after din- ner cigar and meditate upon the ease and comfort of my journey across the state, and the sharp contrast It pre- sented to the journeyings of Marquette and Cadillac. The only other occupant of the room, a slight man with a sandy mustache, sat close to the window, using the last gleams of daylight to read something that appeared to in- terest hint greatly in one of the small 5 cent magazines of which we were at ' that time having quite an epidemic, After a littleyhe closed his magazine and looked out of the window; then, turning to me, said: "I wish people who write stories wouldn't stop in the middle of 'em, as if the first half was all a person would want to know." 'Another of 'The Lady or the Tiger' brand?" I asked. "Not this time; one of those yarns ahost a fellow who is dead broke find- ing some hidden treasure that makes him a regular Crcesus. This is the third I've read in a couple of days, and they all stop at the find—only say something about his rolling in wealth afterward. "Now, I want to know the whole business; how he turned his diamonds into ducats; how he felt dropping from his old ways into new oues; if he. had any trouble proving his right to his find. If it was something that had be- longed to some one else at some time or other, or au land that wasn't his, even if in a wilderness, seems to me there'd be somebody trying to claim it. I want to know how he worked it to hang on to what he found." Some one had been at the Washstand while he was speaking, and as he con- cluded a tall, slender man appeared at the door with a towel in his hands. "I've read a number of those yarns, too," he said, smiling, "and quite agree with you about the last half of the sto- ry being worth the telling. I suppose the authors like to leave something for their readers' imagination, so they let us finish as we lIke." He stepped hack to the washstand, but reappeared in a moment and, tak- ing a case from bis pocket, said: "If you will have a fresh cigar with me4tnd would care to bear it, I will tell you a -story of that kind, for the truth of which I can vouch, and give you a second chapter, too, though in this kase it wa,s ducats and not (lia- monds," - Of course we wanted to hear, anti, leaning back in one corner, he began: "I once knew a young man who was a clerk in a coal office in Omaha. He worked for a firm that was not doing a very large business, so he didn't get a very large salary, but as he was the only clerk and had to give more or less time and attention to affairs that were personal to 'the two members of the firm and not connected with the coal business he was kept pretty busy and pretty closely tied to the office. If he went out, it was on a business errand, and he must hurry back; no running out to get his hair cut or buy a pair of shoes or anything like that till he had locked the door at the end of the day, and they were pretty long days, "He was an ambitious chap and something of a dreamer besides, and each of these characteristics made him a bit dissatisfied with his lot. He wanted to rise In the business world or else leave it entirely and live among books and pictures, purple mountains and sunsets and poetic things in gen- eral. But to do either he must have money—more money than it appeared as if be stood any chance of ever get- ting. It was a steady grind from week's end to week's end, and at the close of the month but a few dollars more thin enough to pay for his board and lodging and a small draft to his mother back in the east. Economize as be might he could save but little. In the three years since he came from the eastern village that couldn't offer him what he was getting now he hadn't been able to accumulate $100, and so when he thought of the future and 'how the years were slipping away •without improving his condition or bringing him any better opportunities to improve it it gave him the blues. "He didn't want money for the mere sake of having it, but for what he could do with it. He wanted to try his hand at manipulating some, feeling sure he could double it as rapidly a.: most men, and be also wanted' enough to enable him to see the world before his eyes became too dim to see it. "One Sunday afternoon this man tramped from Omaha to Florence, a little town just north, and was ram- bling about among uta Alia gnat s ..- rouna it. N'alatng Was his' principal recreation. It was cheap, and he en- joyed it. He bad wandered away from roads and paths into a wood that was tangled with vines and underbrush. It was September and warm, and when he came out into the open, being hot and tired, he threw himself down un- der a walnut tree to rest. "Before him was a little glade which the woods bordered on all sides. Part of it was covered and part was planted withill m et. Besides this there was nothing to show that a human being had been there before. The ragged, poorly tended corn suggested to him an aboriginal maize field, and it seemed to him as if the spirits of Mondamin and Hiawatha brooded over that peace- ful little valley. Some of the stalks had been cut and gathered into shocks that looked like Indian tepees, and by half closing his eyes the tassels of the more distant corn were transformed into eagle feathers, nodding and bow- ing as if their savage wearers were en- gaged in some sort of a ghost dance. "As he lay there thinking of the red men and maidens who used to dwell among the hills over which he had just been wandering, and who perhaps had planted maize in that very spot, from up in the woods behind him came the tap, tap, tap of a woodpecker, which w=as answered by another tap, tap, tap from the woods on the other side. There was a lull in the win dj ust then, and the eagle feathers stood still, as if listening. He knew the taps to be woodpecker rappings, but it seemed as if they were Indian signals. I told you he was a dreamer. "Presently a walnut fell from the tree above him and rolled into a little gully that the water coming down the hill behind him had washed near by. He followed it with his eyes and where it stopped noticed what looked like a bit of dirty canvas sticking out of the ground; not a little scrap, but appar- ently part of something that was bur. ed. It was beyond the reach of his walking stick, but a dead branch lay at hand, and with this he poked at it In n idle sort of way. There seemed to e something harder than earth under t, and he poked it again with a little more vigor, whereupon it tore, and hree yellow disk about the size of sli- er dollars rolled out. "In an instant he had cast aside the ranch and was on his knees over the anvas gathering gold eagles and half agles and double eagles into his pock- ts with a feverish haste that would ardly have seemed possible in the le dreamer of a few moments ago. e moved as if his life depended upon etting them out of sight as soon as ossible." He paused for a moment and blew me smoke wreaths toward the cell - "There," said the man by the win - ow, "is where such stories usually d—with the first chapter." "This one doesn't end there. it has second chapter. "When the bag—for such the canvas as—had been emptied, he dug with s pocketknife as well as he could all ound it to see if there might be an - her, but could find no more. He then oceeded to cover up all signs of dis- rbance, making the ground look as arly like that about It as possible d dragging some fallen branches and ad leaves over it, looking about him w and then to see if any one was in ht; not that he felt for a moment at he was stealing, as the coin ap- ared to have been buried for a long me, and he believed a finder's title to good, but didn't care to discuss the atter with any inquisitive farmer or mp who might happen along. 'He had stuffed it into his pockets stily, without counting it, feeling it be of the greatest importance to get ay from the scene as soon as possf- , before any one's suspicion that mething had been found should be used, but he judged he had several usand dollars. How much the pos- sion of all this meant to him he had rcely realized, his mind being bus - in devising ways and means of ping the find from coming to the owledge of any one. By the time be had covered the and so he thought there was noth- to attract the attention of the most ervant be found that he was in a fuse perspiration and trembling like aspen leaf. He went slowly up through the ods and out into a road, and here, in shadow of some sunflowers, he sat n to rest and think. And then he an to realize that a few thousand, n a very few, would make a big nge in his life. He pulled a coin out of his coat ket. It was a twenty of 1855. He k one from his trousers.

He took the gray eyes a long drive into the country, and when they got home the eyes were very bright, and their owner wrote the trustees of the academy that she couldn't teach there next term. "In September he went east again and took her back with him, and in a little cottage In a quiet street, from the window of which were to be had glimpses of the shining river and the blue Iowa bills, they set up their house- hold gods and were very"happy. "All this time he had kept his capital Invested in city property, and after his real estate office had been open for a few months he made his expenses out 1 1 that, so all the gain from the origi- nal $5,000 was added to it.

"Just before the panic of 1893 he sold out all his holdings except some good rent paying business property and a few close -in dwellings that rented well and after a bit put his funds into first class stocks. By that time his $5,000 had grown to a sum the income from which would support him and his wife anywhere, so they let their house to some friends that wanted to be married and started out to find all the things there were to see in the world and are doing that yet.

He was billed to make a speech at the home of Harvard, and his companion In the old fashioned gig was a member of the reception committee and a resi- dent of the town. "On the way to Cambridge Mr. Web- ster turned to bis fellow traveler with an inquiry whether there was not some place in the neighborhood where they could obtain a drink. '11 you will drive a short distance out of your way to my house,' was the courteous response, 'I think 1 can promise you as good a drink of .1a melee rum as you ever tasted.' "To the house the twain accordingly journeyed, and once there the host, true to his promise, set before the statesman a decanter of extremely fine rum. The great Massachusetts senator poured out a brimming beaker and quaffed it off without wincing. His host tentatively pushed toward him the water jug. but Senator Webster atter eying it a moment said: 'Thank you, no.

At one of their joint discussions which -took place In Kentucky some years ago Tom Stuart, then editor of the Winchester Democrat, gave his op- ponent, I. N. Boone, a descendant of the great Daniel, a blow that fairly knocked him out of the race for the legislature. Boone was making his regular speech, and at the proper place in it he refer- red to the matter of his relation to the toiling masses, "My friends," said he, holding up a pair of hands that looked as if they had not been washed in a week, "to let you see for yourself that I am a horny handed son of toil,.1 ask you to look at these hands, and," turn- ing to Stuart, "I would ask nay \pale faced young friend from the city ghat he thinks of them?"

It was such an apparent case that the crowd took hold at once with a shout, and Boone was completely floor- ed, and later Stuart was elected,—Ar- gonaut. A Mean int prion.

A Midnight Bumped*. It was midnight as a thundering knock came at the door of room No. 48, Phenix hotel. "What is wanted?" asked the occu- pant as he sat up in bed with furiously beating heart. "We want you! Open this door!" "Never!" "Then take the consequences." The man sprang out of bed and hur- riedly dressed himself. His face was pale and his hands trembled, but he shut his lips with a determination to sell his life dearly. He heard foot- steps moving in the hall, and presently his door was burst from its hinges and a dozen men burst into the room. They foundshim standing with a revolver in each hand and the light of battle in his eyes. "You may hang me," he said in a low, tense voice, "but 12 of you will go into the other world before me." "Who said anything about hanging?" inquired a voice. "But you have come for that. Twelve years ago in this town I killed four men. You have recognized me and have come for revenge."

A medical man has discovered that neither in youth nor old age is a man likely to make the biggest fool of him- self. Extreme youth usually is con- sidered not to have arrived at the dig- nity of years of discretion, yet a home- ly proverb would have us believe that "there is no fool like an old fool." This medical observer has broached the the- ory that there is an "aberration period of middle life," between the ages of 57 and 62. "If." he says, "a careful ex- amination be made of the preventible disasters of the last 20 years and of the ages of those who were held re- sponsible by the verdict of mankind for such lamentable issues, there will be found a strange coincidence in the range of their ages." Here is an interesting and practically inexhaustible field for investigation. Politicians who are "agin the govern- ment" may trace the blunders of an administration to the sinister influence of some boss who was passing through the fatal period at the time, and "re- grettable incidents" of all kinds, in war or peace, may be traced to their true origin. In time no doubt we shall appreciate the necessity of re- quiring all public men, on entering the fatal period, to take a five years' holi- day and to resume work only when they have passed the age of aberration. —New York Press.

An Ingenious Toper, An eminent tragedian, given to in- toxicants, was once locked up in a room at the rear of the theater to keep him in proper condition till he was call- ed to go on the stage. One door of the compartment opened on the street, and while looking through the keyhole he saw a man passing. Calling, him up to the door, he pushed some money through a crack and in- structed him to go to the public house at the opposite corner and procure a pint of gin and a clay pipe, promising to reward him for his trouble. The man did as directed, and when he returned with the articles, the actor told him to put the stem of the pipe through the keyhole and pour the gin carefully into the bowl. These instructions the accommodat- ing individual also followed, and the result was that when the manager call- ed to notify him of his turn he found him in a very happy frame of mind, but not at all in a condition calculated to add to his fame as an actor.—Lon- don Tit -Bits. ` Deportment on a Car Platform.

This is how a Spanish senorita bar- gains for ber fan, according to Miss Katharine Lee Bates, who spent some time in Spain studying the people and customs of that sunny clime: There is nothing sordid about it. Her haggling is a social condescension that at once puts the black eyed young salesman at her mercy. "But the fan seems to me the least bit dear, senor!" He shrugs his shoulders and flings out his arm in protest. "Ah, senorita! You do not see how beautiful the work is. I am giving it away at 8 pesetas." She lifts her eyebrows half incredu- lously, all bewitchingly. "At 5 pesetas, senor," He runshis hand through his black hair in chivalrous distress. "But the peerless work, senorita! And this other toe. I sacrifice it at 4 pese- tas," She touches both fans lightly. "You will let us have the two at 7 pesetas, senor?" Her eyes dance over his confusion. He catches the gleam, laughs back, throws up his hands. "Bueno, sen„rita! At what you please!" And the senorita trips away content- ed with a sharp bargain, although—for Spanish gallantry, g try, even when genuine, goes farther on the lips than otherwise —the price was probably not much more remote from what pleased the smooth tongued clerk than from what she pleased.—Youth's Companion.

"Well, if true it would be the greatest thing In the world, because human progress is contingent almost altogeth- er on the availability of cheap power. It seems very strange to one who has given the subject to particular thought,"- continued the electrician, "but this great question of securing a given amount of work from a given amount of fuel is at the bottom of practically all the movements of oivill- zation.

We are all aware, of course, that the existing methods of obtaining power for commercial purposes are very wasteful. The situation night be stated simply in about this fashion: We have, to begin 'with, a pound of coal, in which we know a certain amount of energy is stored. The ques- tion is, How are we going to get that energy out and use it to the greatest advantage? The hest we can de at present Is to burn the coal under a boiler and make steam with which to run an engine. The engine operates a dynamo, and the dynamo delivers the power in the shape of an electric cur- rent, which must be again fed into a motor before it can he used to set ma- chinery in motion. The different steps in the process are furnace, boiler. en- gine. dynamo and motor, and between the first and the last we lose fully five- aths of the power originally stored in the coal. If some method could be de- vised for cutting out these interme- diate stages and drawing the power directly from the fuel without giving it a chance to leak and escape in transit, it would mean that machinery could be run for one-fifth or one-sixth its present Bost. By this simple illustra- tion you thin readily see the enormous importance of Mr. Edison's alleged dis- covery. "Scientists have been dreaming, of such a short cui'for years," the electri- cian went on, "and they have actually succeeded in obtaining a slight current by decompo,ing coal without burning. But unfortunately it Is only a labora- tory experiment which has never gone any further, and if the solution is ever reached it must evidently be along en- tirely new lines. It is now claimed, however, that fuel gas can be made as low as 6 cents a thousand, and if such proves to be the case the stimulating effect upon many industries will be al- most incalculable. But all this in- volves no change in the old roundabout method of harnessing the power of the coalfields. and I can't bring myself t believe that Mr. Edison has discovered the great secret. What is more, I don't believe It will be discovered suddenly— in other words. blundered over—by anybody.

It measures less than ore -quarter of an inch fin di- ameter, or one with a face about the size of the head of a large sized tack or nail. The case is made of the very fin- est of gold, and the whole watch weighs less than two grains troy. It can only be realized how exceedingly light this is when we consider that in troy weight It takes 480 grains to make an ounce and that 12 ounces con- stitute a pound, or that 5,760 grains are contained in a pound. The numerals on the face of the watch are in Arabic, and if the hands were put end to end' 'they would not measure five -twenty- fourths of an inch in length, the large one being less than one-eighth and the small one less than one -twelfth of an inch long.

GOOD MOSQUITOES NOW. Inseets That Have • Been Turaed From Tlaeir Evil Ways. Mankind may be doubly benefited by the experiments reported by the New Ybrk Herald and now being conducted by Dr. W. N. Berkeley, who expects to prove that the germs of malaria are 1 transmitted by mosquitoes. In the 1 meantime if the patient now in Belle- vue who has permitted Dr. Berkeley's mosquitoes to feed upon his blood is to be taken seriously it may be possible to breed a new species of the winged pest that will refuse to attack human- ity, but will wage a war of extermina- tion upon the Jersey man eaters. George Lyons, who, despite the fact that he is in the grip of malaria, seems to still possess a keen sense of humor, avers that while some of the mosqui- toes did not hesitate to gorge them- selves with his blood when offered the opportunity others refused to attach themselves to his arm. These waited until the bloodsuckers had filled them- selves, when they attacked them, and, being larger and stronger than the oth- ers, had little difficulty in killing them. Dr. Berkeley refuses to discuss his experiments, saying that his work has not proceeded far enough to warrant MOSQUITOES AT WORK. his talking of results. In the hospital, too, the physicians say that profession- al ethics compel them to keep silence. Lyons, whose hone is at 351 First avenue, is shaking in ward No. 19 in Bellevue hospital with what is known as chills and fever, but which the doc- tors say is malignant malaria. Last Saturday, at Dr. Berkeley's request, he bared his arm and permitted a swarm of mosquitoes which were confined in a glass tube to eat at his expense. The process was simple. The tube was inverted upon the man's arm, and soon the bisects, which had been starv- ed for 24 hours, alighted and began op- , erations—that is, some of them did. According to Mr. Lyons, there were others that were more considerate of his feelings. The blood fed insects were taken to his laboratory by Dr. Berkeley, where they will be closely watched. After a , few days they will be permitted to again feed upon the blood of a well man. It is believed that they will in- troduce into his veins malarial poison. This will be easily counteracted, as the symptoms will be quickly heeded and antidotes administered at the first ap- pearance of malaria. Reform In Barbers' Shops. A timely article by a prominent doc- tor summarized the results of the movement iu several of the large cit- ies and smaller municipalities in tits country and Europe that have formu- lated and enacted a fairly practical and effective barbers' act. The ex- pense of boiling scissors, clippers and razors after each using is little or noth- ing. The sterilization of the hands afresh for each patron is surely not a grievous requirement. Brushes and shaving brushes can be abolished alto- gether and to great advantage. That the towels should be freshly laundered (not ironed hastily in the back room and brought back for a second service, as is too often the case now) seems only a matter of common decency. It is not' to be hoped, however, that the older, less progressive barbers will adopt these measures of their own free will. They must be compelled to take the necessary steps at once and learn the reasons at their leisure.—Pedia- trics. Bacteria and Digestion In observations on the microscopic life of arctic regions Dr. Levin states that, with the exception of a single species of bacterium found in one bear and two seals, the intestinal contents f the white bear, seal, shark, eider and other arctic vertebrates were absolutely sterile, but bacteria were almost invariably present in the lower marine animals. These observations on germ free Intestines are ,of special Importance and interest, as they con- firm the idea of Pasteur and others bacteria are not essential to diges- tion.

A new electric motor for automobiles bas been devised which restores ener- gy to the storage battery when the ve- hicle is running down hill. It is stated that the British light- house board will adopt a new form of electrically lighted buoy to replace the old bell and gas buoys stationed at va- rious dangerous points along the chan- nel. The principle of wireless telegraphy has been applied to the steering of tor- pedoes, and tests made in England re- cently appear to show that the system is practicable. 1 The electric car service from Quebec to the shrine of Ste. Anne de 13eaupre tas been successfully inaugurated. The ears run at a rate of 12 magi) an hour, and there will be 46 trains a day. In many copper mines the richer bod- les of ore have been exhausted, and the remaining rock is of a character too poor in metal to repay the expense of bringing it to the surface and working it for its metallic contents. It has been suggested that an electrolytic process will be able to glean for from such mines within the minimum of expense and labor. Platinum is peculiarly the electri- cian's metal. Its quality of resisting oxidathh indefinitely and its ability to make a tight joint with glass when fused into the body of that material or even through the thin wall of an X ray tube make it absolutely invaluable, and no other material can take its place for these uses. One of the most astonishing features of modern electrical machinery, such as the dynamo or motor, is its extraor- dinary efficiency in transforming me- chanical into electrical energy or vice versa. The equivalent of either kind of energy In terms of the other is known with great exactness, 746 volt amperes or watts of electrical energy being equal to one horsepower. In Austria the use of electrical pow- er distribution in mills and factories is becoming widespread and almost uni- versal in the important textile indus- try. .Recently a plant has been in4al- led at Roveredo, in the south Tyrol, in which 400 velvet weaving looms are operated by polyphase electric motors from a central power station. The new Central London electric rail- way, which opened to public traffic a few weeks ago, has, it is said, proved a prodigious success. During the first four days it was opened no less than 353,000 people availed themselves of this new means of rapid transit, to the detriment of the omnibuses. So star- tling bas been the enthusiastic recep- tion of the innovation,that the Under- ground railway, afr many years' controversy and spasmodic experi- ments, has finally determined to con- vert the whole of its system to electric traction with all possible dispatch. Aluminium Army Utensils. As early as March 4, 1897, it was de- cided to furnish the Russian infantry with aluminium cooking utensils, can- teens, etc., and quite recently new spec- ifications for certain of these articles have been issued. The aluminium used must be pure— that is, it must contain not less than 98 per cent of aluminium. Each article must be pressed ht of a single plate of aluminium without any seams or sol- der. The articles talus far issued to the army are water kettles, canteens and drinking cups. The kettle (for cooking) has the form of a truncated one, with the larger di- ameter at the bottom. It stands about five inches high, with a top diameter of 518 inches and a bottom diameter of 61/4 inches, and holds about half a gal- lon. The bottom is Sat, rounded at the edges, and the top is , turned over around an aluminium wire and has an iron wire handle catching in alumini- um ears riveted on by means of alu- minium rivets. The entire weight of the kettle cannot exceed 321 grains (about three-quarters of a pound). The canteen or water bottle is ellip- tical in shape, with a conical neck open- ing pening outward. • In the 'horizontal cross section the longest diameter measures 4.9 inches, the shortest 2.3 inches. In the vertical section the longest diame- ter (length to neck) measures 6.7 inch- es. The drinking cup is of an elongated oval form in horizontal cross section, wide' ing toward the top, w th nearly vertical sides. It weighs less than one ounce. Recently, however, a rival of alumin- ium has entered the field—namely, magnallum, which promises even bet- ter results.—New York Sun. Like a Cat on a Wall. A Scotch highland minister was very fond of commenting on each verse as he read it out. On reading the precept, "Walk circumspectly," he said: "Ye've all seen a cat, my brethren, walking on the top of a wall covered wj' broken bottles and bits of glass. See hoo it lifts ae fit and then anither fit and hoo slowly and carefully it puts it doon, to keep clear of the sharp bits of glass. And so, my brethren, in this warld o' snares and pitfalls, we should be like the cat on the wall—we should walk circumspectly." No Encouragement. Mrs. Short—Oh, dear, I do wish we were rich!

DEATH AT A WEDDING. & Pathetic Tragedy of the War Be- tween the States, Recalling the historic incidents clus- tering about South Carolina's execu- tive mansion, Mrs. Thaddeus Horton writes in The Ladies' Home Journal of the shocking tragedy that occurred there tglvard the close of the war. This was the death of the daughter of Gov- ernor Pickens immediately after her marriage to Lieutepant Le Rochelle. "On the afternoon preceding the even- ing of the marriage the northern army began shelling Columbia, but prepara- tions for the wedding continued. "Finally the guests were all assem- bled, and the clergyman was proceed- ing with the solemn ceremony and had just joined the,right hands of the hap- py pair when suddenly there was an awful crash, and a ball from the ene- my's cannon penetrated the mansion and burst in the middle of the mar- riage chamber, scattering its death dealing missiles in every direction. There were screams and a heartrend- ing groan, mirrors crashed, the house shook, women fainted and walls rock- ed to and fro. "When the first confusion was over, it was discovered that in all the crowd only one person was injured, and . that was the bride herself. She lay partly on the floor and partly in her lover's arms, crushed and bleeding. pale, but very beautiful, her bridal gown drench- ed with warm blood acid a great cut in her breast. "Laying her on a lounge, the frantic bridegroom besought her by every term of tenderness and endearment to allow the ceremony to proceed, to which she weakly gave consent, and, lying like a crushed flower no less whtte than the camellias of her bridal bouquet, her breath coming in short gasps and the blood flowing from this great, angry wound, she murmured 'yes' to the clergyman and received her husband's first kis* A moment more and all was over.

Cork parings and waste had been etilized in the manufacture of a pave- ment material of great value, and now comes a patent for making building blocks and isolating material out of the same substance.

The new sub- stance is proof against moisture and variations of temperature and seems to fulfill all the requisites of an iso- lated tuaterial. Factories for its man- ufacture on a large scale are already in operation in Germany, and we believe n England also. The supply of ma- terial, however, would neem to be lim- ited.—Popular Science. Origin of "Soldier.” "Soldier," writes Grammaticus in the Liverpool Daily Post, is a pedigree word. Its connection with the "queen's shilling" may not be obvious, but there It is, all the same. "Shilling" in Low Latin Is "solidus," whence comes "sol- dum," "wages." The man who fights for "soldum" is a "soldier." In Wyc- lira, New Testament (Luke Hi, 14) John the Baptist bids the soldiers to "be apayed with your sowdis" ("be con- tent with your wages"), "sowdis" be- ing the north country rendering of "sol- dis," like "owd" from "old." DEF IVEP CHEAP SPONGES. Where Those Sold by the Street Fakirs Are Procured. Sponges sold by the street fakir are rather captivating in appearance, large and al ost white, and the pep ranges from 5 10 cents each. Pab[Ile who have bot ht sponges at a drug store know that o snob looking articles can be got tber for so little money, and so they invest. But they don't Invest more than on e, because the sponge soon falls to pieces, whereas a good sponge will last for years. Somebody started a story years ago that the reason the fakirs could sell these s'[longes so cheaply was because they bought them from the hospitals, and there are some people who still be- lieve it. As if men devoting all their energies and skill to ameliorating the ills of mankind would spread disease by distributing old and possibly germ infected sponges. As a matter of fact surgeons' sponges are small and smooth as velvet, being close grained. The fakirs' sponges are the clippings off the big sponges sold to liverymen and others who need large sponges. The parts cut away have little body and would soon tear loose. The fakirs buy these bits, trim them into shape and then give them a bath in diluted muriatic acid. After lying there for 12 hours they are taken out and washed in clear water and dried. They are bleached, in other words, but at still further detriment to the sponge. Nev- er of close texture, the mesh is made more rotten by the acid, and that is why they soon fall apart. But so tar as disease is concerned they are as pure as any sponge bought in the finest drug store.—Chicago Tribune. The Young Men of Today. The young teen of today are too fin- icky—too much given to self analysis, too self pampering. Their shoes and neckties cost more each year than did the entire wardrobe of their grandfa- thers.

There is not a young man In the country who would imitate Ben Franklin and march through the streets munching a loaf of bread while looking for employment He dare not, indeed, because society has become al- so finicky, and he would be arrested as a tramp.

AN OLD CHEST OF DRAWERS AND WHAT MAY BE DONE WITH IT. Its Original Unregenerate Condition. Changes Achieved by Home Art With Drapery, Copper Trimmings and Green Stain. Those of us who are not in a position to spend a considerable sum in the em- ployment of artists of talent to deco- rate our abodes and in buying only what is of genuine merit in articles for furnishing can nevertheless escape from the oft repeated and frequently displeasing designs of the ordinary A DECORATIVE BIT OF FURNITURE. ready made productions by the exer- cise of some little home arts quite with- in the -average person's capacity. Illustrating this point is a little scheme for the transformation of a common chest of drawers which was first carried out in the studio of a bright but Impecunious young artist. One seems certainly justified in assum- ing that tht 'e is hardly a house any- where which does not possess in one of its rooms or in the lumber loft a small chest of drawers in the original unre- generate condition of that one shown in the second cut and which forms the basis of the decorative piece of furni- ture here pictured. Having first caught our chest of drawers, we proceed to get rid of the hypocrisy which turns its humble pine into maple or grained oak or what not. If the chest of drawers is specially secured to carry out this scheme, it will be best to buy it un- painted, in which case green stain must be used tocolor it. If the e chest is already painted, it is doubtfulwheth- er the stain would be of much use, and probably the wisest course to pursue in the circumstances is to use paint or, better still, a distemper such as the shops afford. If the former Is employ- ed, it will have to be flatted, whereas the latter finishes in a dull, rough fash- ion, which is just the thing required. It might of course be possible to re- move the paint with great care and have the chest either sandpapered or planed up, but this is a laborious course compared to the satisfactory short cut already mentioned. In the change illustrated the small drawers are removed, and books occu- py their place. Copper modeling is used for handle plates and on the plain mirror frame above. The curtain above is of canvas with a strip of figured Tax RAW MATERIAL velvet, forming a background for two copper plaques. The woodwork is painted or stained green. Another and simpler transformation consists in adding a back and overshelf from which hangs a pretty curtain. The legs are also changed, and the wood is painted or,stained, while the drawers are all lett 'In and only modi- fied by copper bosses which replace the old pot knobs. A Sweet Potato Pie. Choose medium sized, sound potatoes and after boiling or steaming them in the usual way allow them to cool, then cut them in slices a quarter of an inch thick and arrange a single layer of these at the bottom of a well buttered pie dish. Sprinkle the potatoes well with salt, pepper, finely chopped onion, minced parsley and grated cheese, then cover with a few tablespoonfuls of thick white sauce and repeat in this order until the dish is sufficiently full, letting sauce form the last addition ex- cept a sprinkling of grated cheese, which should be added just before put- ting the pie in the oven. See that the latter is well heated, then as soon as the pie is thoroughly bot and colored a nice golden brown serve tastefully, the surface being sprinkled with a mixture of finely chopped parsley and sifted egg yolk, the pie dish being placed up- on a pretty dish paper with a border of parsley sprigs arranged round about His Simple System.

We Are Falsely Charged by Euro- peans With Being Undignified. Orr crowds may and do have rip- roaring times when the occasion de- mands it, but surely they do not be- come asinine as do European crowds. Our crowds may stand around news- paper offices looking at bulletins, but even on election night they don't rush away in mad, screaming hordes, every few moments yelling hysterically "a bas" something or somebody, as they do in Paris. In London wherever crowds gather for any purpose, from an unveiling to an excursion, street hawkers are on hand with two things that they call re- spectively "teasers" and "ticklers." The "teaser" is an empty bladder tied to a stick, and the "tickler" is a long feather. The "teaser" is affected most by the male representatives of English dignity, and the "tickler" captures the fond feminine heart. The male goes Into raptures of joy when he succeeds In hitting somebody—a respectable el- derly_ gentleman preferred—with his toy. The female trips gayly through the streets, tickling the ears of mascu- line persons to whom she bas not been introduced. And among our "lower orders," who are as undignified as mare the coster- mongers of London? We have no class that delights in wearing grotesquely bell shaped trousere with huge pearl buttons down the sides and coats with Immensely broad braid bindings and also profusely covered with pearl but- tons as big as trade dollars.—New York Prets. NO TIME FOR FRIENDSHIP. That Old Fashioned Quality Is Said to Be Out of Date. Friendship is said to be out of date. We certainly have not much time to spare nowadays, even to reflect on what the rush and hurry and bustle of modern life are costing us. Now and again, however, there is borne in upon us the sad realization of the losses we sustain as we - tear and scramble through what live now call life. And is not one of these the power of establish- ing close friendships? it is a sad reflection, but the more we think of It the truer we shall find it to be, that we no longer hive time to knit together those bonds of true friendship and affection which bound our predecessors together and made life sweet to them. We are always In a hurry, rushing here and there. We meet and know many people In crowds and yet never have time to understand them, to give them or gain from them sympathy. We clan scarcely spare an hour that is un- connected with some form of enter- tainment or some business matter to those we call our closest friends. Letter writing has been reduced to its least common denominator as time presses on us heavily, and we have no pursuits that we can share with our so called friends that enable us to study each other's characters. Friendship, in fact. has become a mere term with the general run of people.—Chicago Rec- ord. Sure Enough.

Schuman, of Tke West St Paul Times, is a candidotl for re election to the house in the thirty fifth district, ends certainly deserve the indorsement of another term. s H. r $ In addition to the•rogular nomina- tions for county commissioner in the first district there are three independ- ent candidates by petition, G.' J. Hetherington, Peter Scott. and W. R. Mather, with several precincts yet to hear from. It .proiaises to be the most exciting scramble of the present campaign. The republican convention at South St. Paul on Tuesday was a very har- monious gathering, and, the ticket placed in nomination commends itself to the favc rable consideration of the voters of the county. There . is no good reason why a considerable por- - tion should sot Le elected. Judge F. C. Brooks having also • declined .the nominaticn as chief justice. the democratic state commit- ` tee has decided. to make no nomina- tions for the supreme court. This is not exactly indorsing the republican candidates, bat practically amounts to the same thing. The democratic orgens are 1ibe:ally supplied, with a Hast supplement this week, which says net a ward about cotton and ice, two of the biggest monopolies in the ccantr y .

Oth, 1900. We believe as Jefferson believed and as ncoln -believed in the doctrines of the claration of Independence, the equality man, and in equal rights and equal portunities to all. We believe that the time has not yet rived when our flag should be the sym- 1 of freedom and decency in our own d and float over polygamy and slavery road. We place the man above money and de- unce the sendeney towards combina- n for the purpose of stifling competition business which has resulted is the st and monopoly, whose might and wer threaten to make the independent siness men of to -day the mere em- yesoof the co-operation. We believe t the constitution follows the flag of .country, that whenever the flag is sed it should symbolize government he people, that our flag is the flag of ree people and can never wave over a ple part slave and part free. We pledge' our most hearty, earnest, loyal support to him who is the ex- elilt of these principles, to the fearl»ss eloquent vibune of the people, the n. W. J. Bryan, our nominee for presi- t of these nited States. We personally call the attention of the ple of this state to the excellent record e in aonduoting the affairs of this ate by our governor, the Hon. John d. His administration as his op- ents admit is one of the best we have r had. Through his efforts and those his appointees, the revenues of the te have been increased, economy has n practiced, and the interests of the ple have been safeguarded; railroad ght rates have been reduced, and are g further reduced,to the great advan- e of the farmer and producer. We tender to our neighbor and fellow zen, the Hon. Albert Schaller, demo- ic candidate for congress from this rick whose record as an honest, fear- , and impartial publ`c servant is and reproach, our most hearty con- ulations, and pledge ourselves as ocrats and citizens of Dakota County abor for Iris election v�it.b energy and otioa.

The names of the temporary dicers were reported by the Commit- ee en permanent organization, and eir report was adopted. The following report of the com- T L C H s F W D A A E S. O th mittee on resolutions was adopted: .Resolved, That we indorse the wise and proficient administration of President William McKinley and his re -nomination at the late national convention at Phila- delphia, a token of appreciation well earned. That we are also proud of that noble type of American citizenship in the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, a man of highest purposes, with unselfish motives and honest adherence to the same, and whose nomination and elec 'on to the office of vice president of these United States we e rnestly approve. That we hereby declare our allegiance to and endorsement of the platforms adopted at the national republican con- vention at Philadelphia and at the state republican convention at Minneapolis as expressing true principles of republican- ism. That we commend the manly character of the republican candidate for governor of the state of Minnesota, Capt. S. R. Van Sant, for his qualities as a citizen, his unselflsh loyalty to the party, and his successful and honorable career as a pub- lic man. That we also point with pride to the thorough work for the public good and the efficient services of our member of congress of the third congressional dis- trict. the Hoh. J. P, Heatwole, and urge his re-election. That we urge upon every citizen the necessity of republican victory in the coming election as the only safety to our institutions, believing that a con- tinuance of republican rule will insure the continuance of otr present prosperity, and that a victory of Pryanism would mean a return of unsettled conditions and the destruction of those sound and staid principles that are the securities of the rights and safety of the American people, and would bring dishonor to our flag. Mr. Heatwole was introduced and spoke at some length upon tbe peliti- al-topics of the day. On motion, the secretary was au- thorized to cast the vote of the con- vention for G. L. Lytle, of South St. Paul, and E. A. Whitford, of Hast- ings, as candidates for representa- tives. On motion, the secretary was directed to cast the vote of the conn vention for J. A.

The ballot for sheriff resulted in the nomination of J. J. Grisins, of South Bt. Paul, by a vote of seventy- seven out of one hundred and eight- een, there being four other candi- dates. On motion, the secretary was in- structed to cast the vote of the con- vention for C. F. Myer, of Inver Grove, as the candidate for register of deeds.

There are many exciting seances held in our village postoffice and store, that we don't get the bene- fit of. However, judging from a re- spectful distance, we notice they all wear McKinley buttons just the same. Dr. Percival Barton, who has been in quite poor health for some time past, made one of his usual trips to the city Friday. The doctor is well up in the seventies, and until a few weeks ago has been a very active man for his years.

WAXING AT NIGHT. — �~ When I wake up alone at night, I feel as if I had no eyes; I stare and stare with all my might. But only blackness round me lies. I listen for the faintest sound, And, though I strain with either ear, The dark is silent all around; It's just as if I could not hear. But if I lie with limbs held fast A sort of sound comes like a sigh— Perhaps the darkness rushing pant, Perhaps the minutes paasing by. Perhaps the thoughts In people's heads, That keep so quiet all the day, Wait till they're sleeping In their beds, Then rustle out and fly away! Or else this noise like whirring wings That dies with the that streak of Itght May be the sound of baby things All growing, growing in the night. Children and kitty cats and pups, Or even little buds and flowers. Daisies perhaps and buttercups, All growing in the midnight hours. ,dsrd yet it seems of we a part, And nothing far away'of queer • • • It's just the beating of my heart That sounds so strange as I lie keret I do not know why this should be; When darkness Tildes the world from sight, I feel that all is gone but me— A little child and the black night. —Mabel Dearmer in Spectator. •••••••••0.•••••••• . • i.414'OSI,1N'S TIsooiI • • • SHE PREFERRED A MAN • OF ACTION. • ♦•♦•♦•♦•♦v♦•♦•••♦ Landor was at his desk, which near the open window.

Landor read on: You spoke of his charming personality, his rare gifts of mind and spirit. Who should appre- ciate these more than I, who have known him so well?

He groped for his hat and gloves and coat and went out into the fresh spring afternoon. Then he,remembered the un- flaished- poem.

Landor smiled with pale lips, but the smile was winning; "You should have more confidence in my father's son," he protested gently. The words warmed the old man's heart like wine.

Some men with unused railroad tick- ets on their hands sell them to scalp- ers while others go to the railroad company that issued them and obtain their value in money. Most persons, however, do neither and accept the loss when the ticket is worth less than a dollar. Indeed many persons do not realize that the railroad companies stand ready to redeem unused tickets even of small value, so that the com- panies must be richer by many thou- sands of dollars a year through this ignorance. Every railroad ticket bears the name of the general passenger agent and of tho general manager of the road. It is a simple matter to inclose the ticket with a letter directed to the general passenger agent asking him to refund the money paid and explaining the rea- son why the ticket la left unused in the bands of the purchaser. Iteis courte- ous to inclose a stamped envelope in Which the money may be returned. When W these things have been done, the company generally acknowl- edges the receipt of the ticket holder's communication and promises to inves- tigate the matter. The investigation consists in the proper identification of the ticket by the agent who sold 1t and a little bookkeeping to set the accounts right. Then the purchaser receives a check for the amount due from the railroad company along with a letter requesting acknowledgment, — New York Sun. Fatal Brevity.

The view of fish, excep when nicely grilled or whenuapende at the end of a fishing line, one of the most uninteresting of sights. The other animals when in confinement dis- play traits which are more or less in- teresting. The lion has a sense of hu- mor and displays it in the most Mess- ing way when he devours the lion tamer who has entered too often into his cage. The bear in his thirst for buns seems so much like the human boy that the spectator of his antics frequently feels an irresistible desire to hit him with a stick. But the ash has not a single inter- esting trait. He will swim around the tank in which be is confined with a persistence which is maddening to the nervous spectator. He never engages in a genuine fight, but contents himself with an occasional surreptitious bite of aa enemy's tall, which gives no true satisfaction to the beholder. If he happens. to be a large snake thinly dis- guised as an eel or an octopus or some other alarmingly ugly fish, he will sometimes swim directly at the glass through which the visitor is looking at him and thereby give the latter a mo- mentary sensation of horror, but the average fish cares nothing for the pub- lic and treats his visitors with calm contempt. An aquarium without fish. like a seashore resort without the sea, is unobjectionable, but an aquarium with real water and real fish is the dreariest object In nature. -W, L.

Outside of many wine shops in Paris and in the principal cities of France a sign is often to be seen bearing the words, Au cocher fldele ("To the faith- ful cocher"); beneath it a driver Is pictured, hat in hand, restoring to a gentleman and lady, the hirers of the coach, a purse forgotten on the cush- ions of the vehicle. This Is not a con- ception of the artist, nor vile flattery of the restaurant or wine shop to draw thither the coachman with a foible for the bottle, but a reality which often oc- curs and of which the cocher has every right to be proud. Anybody who has lived any length of time in Paris will indorse the state- ment. Who has not forgotten an um- brella, a walking stick, a small satchel or some little object on the seat or floor of a public vehicle? And who has not had his property restored without even having taken the number of the ve- hicle, without any remembrance of the Physiognomy of the driver? By a sim- ple application to a special office at the prefecture of police, where all objects found in public carriages are deposit- ed and arranged according to the date and hour at which they were brought in, one is able promptly to regain pos- session of his lost property. This reflects great credit on the Paris "cabbies," few of whom, by the way, are born Parisians.—Harper's Weekly. He Concentrated. Professor Countemfast Is a small man with a large mentality. His wife is a tall woman, who believes In the power of matter over mind.

Suddenly looking up, he remarked: "My dear, are you aware of the fact that a man's brain weighs about 31/2 pounds?" "Humph! You've just read that, haven't you?" "Er—er—why—er—on, yes; certainly, of course." "Well, that article says a woman's brain is not so heavy, eh?"

Clear, incisive, resonant and power- ful or beautifully shaded chord playing is not very commonly heard. In addi- tion tate proper muscular conditions and the mode of attack, which should be carefully considered, good chord playing requires a proper shape of the band and fingers. The hand should be well arched so that the metacarpal points are elevated considerably above the second joints. The wrist must be held high and the fingers well rounded, their third joints being perpendicular to the keys. With the hand In this po- sition the fingers must be trained to re- sist a very heavy pressure, as at the Moment of attack in• heavy chord play- ing the weight of the body is thrown forcibly upon the finger tips. At this instant there must not be the least give or weakening in any of the joints of the fingers; the elasticity and looseness being In the muscles of the wrist and arm. The playing fingers should be firmly set, while those not playing must be well extended in order to avoid the accidental striking of Adja- cent keys. If. the hand Is kept in the shape described, all the tones of the chord played will be of equal power, and when the hand and arm are raised the dampers will fall upon all the strings which hate been struck at the same instant, a thing that rarely hap- pens in most of the chord playing that one hears. In playing a succession of chords the fingers must be shaped in the air while going from one chord to the next, and this shaping must not in the least in- terfere with the solidity of the hand or the proper condition of the muscles,— Etude.

The most beautiful velvets, heavy with gold embroideries or rich with incrus- tations of lace, are built into oddly shaped turbans and large picture hats. Crowns roll up a good deal to show bunches of ostrich tips against the hair. The pastel shades seem to be re- placed by the most vivid and brilliant colors—royal purple, the medium blues and even emerald green. But above all there is an excessive use of gold em- broidery, and one trembles to think what dreadful imitations may follow in. the train of this fashion, remarks an exchange. From a Wife's Diary.

Among simple, wholesome summer desserts few things are more generally liked than those which consist piaci- pally of a miYttlr'e of fruit juices and gelatin, of which a few examples are here given: Apple Bance.—Bake five or six large apples and pulp them through a mash- er. Dissolve an ounce of gelatin and three or four ounces of sugar in 1% of water over the fire, adding to this a lit- tle lemon juice to acidulate it pleasant- ly, then stir it to the puree of apples and when it is all cool and nearly set- ting whisk it till stiff with the whites of two eggs previously beaten to a stiff froth. Mold and set as before. Banana Sponge.—Peel and pound to a smooth pulp six or more nice ripe ba- nanas, add to them three ' er four ounces of sugar, the juice of half a hem• on, an ounce Of gelatin and rather more than 1% pints of cold water. Stir over the fire till it boils and the sugar and gelatin are all perfectly dissolved, then lift it oil' the fire and leave it till nearly set and cold, when you whisk into it the stiffly whipped whites of two eggs and mold as before. Peach Sponge.—If made with fresh fruit, you pulp sufficient ripe peaches to produce a pint of pulp and mix this with rather more than a pint of strong sugar and water sirup in which you have dissolved an ounce of gelatin. When this is cold or nearly so, whisk into it the stiffly whisked whit f es o three or more eggs and mold as before. Sponges den be made from afjnost ev- ery kind of fruit either by utilizing the juice or the fruit pulp. Moreover, if preferred milk or single cream may be used to dissolve the gelatin instead of water. Indeed some cooks use half the quantity of liquid given to dissolve the gelatin, making up the required amount with stiffly whipped fresh cream. In such cases, however, it is better to lessen ,the quantity of gelatin considerably, say by a full third, and then not to attempt to mold the sponge, but to serve it piled up on a glass dish or in long fluted wineglasses, a most attractive arrangement.

Beat the yolk of the egg and lemon together, pour the soap and water on it, stir briskly and when cold bottle for use. Tomato Catchup.

It is a fact of comparatively recent discovery in chemical metallurgy that metals lose their vitality from repeti- tions of shocks and strains, says Pear - son's Weekly, and may be said, as the expression is, to suffer from fatigue— that is, they may be worked till their molecules fail to bold together. As is familiarly known, bars of tin, rods of brass and wires of any metal will separate, owing to fatigue, if bent backward and forward continuously. But by careful experiments, however, the fact is made to appear that a rem- edy exists for this condition of metals if the overstrain does not border on, rupture, and this remedy is very much like that which is applied in the case of an overworked human frame— namely, rest. Feather edged tools recover their vitality better than any other. Of course, the length of time required for this rest varies with different met- als and the amount of strain to which they have been subjected.

The negro in charge of the big corridor where the hat shelves stood was an intelligent look- ing fellow, and his bow and smile were not of the obsequious, stupid kind so often affected by colored waiters and doormen in hotels. He took my friend's bat and gave no check for it In return. An hour later, when the professor came out of the dining room, the negro glanced at him in a comprehensive way, turned to the shelves and handed him his hat. "My friend is a man who prides him- self on his powers of observation, and the negro's ability to remember to whom each article of clothing belonged struck him as being something very wonderful, "'How did you know this was my hat? he asked. "'I didn't know it, sah,' was the re- ply. "'Then why did you give it to me? the professor persisted, Because you gave it to me, sah.' " —Boston Journal. The Countess of Ayr. At a dance in the country a gillded youth from town was complaining that there was nobody fit to dance with. "Shall I introduce you to that young lady over there?" asked his hostess. "She is the daughter of the Countess of Ayr." Delighted, the young man assented, and, after waltzing with the fair scion of a noble house, ventured to ask after her mother, the Countess of Ayr. "My father, you mean," said the girl. "No, no, no," said the bewildered youth, "I was asking after your moth-, er, the Countess of Ayr." "Yes," was the reply, "but that's my father." Utterly at a loss, the young man rushed off in search of his hostess and said the girl she had made him dance with was "quite mad; told him the Countess of Ayr was her father." "So be is," answered the lady of the house. "Let me introduce you to him. Mr. So-and-so, Mr. Smith, the county surveyor."—London Chronicle. Muscles of the Mouth.

Instead of the highest, man Is In some respects the lowest of the animal kingdom. Man is the most unchaste, the most drunken, the most egotistic, the most iriiserly, the most hypocritical and the most atrocious of living crea- tures. No animal, except man, kills for the mere sake of killing. For one being to take the life of another for purposes of selfish utility is bad enough, conscience knows, but the in- discriminate massacre of defenseless victims by armed and organized packs. just for pastime, is beyond character- ization. The human species is the only species of animals that plunges to such depths of atrocity. Even vipers and hyenas do not kill for recreation. No animal, except man, habitually seeks wealth purely out of an insane impulse to accumulate, and no animal, except man, gloats over accumulations that are of no possible use to him, that are an injury and an abomination and in whose acquisition he has committed irreparable crimes upon others. There are no millionaires—no professional, le- galized, lifelong kleptomaniacs—among the birds and quadrupeds. No animal except man spends so large a part of his energies ,striving for superiority— not superior* in usefulness, but that superiority which consists in simply getting on the heads of one's fellows to crow—and no animal practices com- mon, ordinary morality to the beings et the world in which he lives so little, compared with the amount he preaches it, as man.—Humane Review. The Production of Caviare. Two distinct varieties of caviare are manufactured in Russia—the granulat- ed and the pressed forms. The granu- lanform Is obtained by passing the fix es under pressure through a tine meshed sieve. The small eggs pass in- tact, but the envelopes are retained in the sieve. To these pure salt is add. 1 in the proportion of one -twentieth .• one -fortieth. It is intimately mixed with the eggs by means of a kind of wooden spoon. The caviare is then ready for consumption. It is packed in round metallic boxes of one and A half to five pounds and enveloped In parchment for transportation. The pressed caviare keeps better than the granulated form. To obtain it the fresh caviare is treat- ed with a solution of salt at 25 degrees Baume until the eggs acquire a cer- tain degree of hardness. This opera- tion requires considerable skill and ex- perience. If allowed to stay in the so- lution too long, the caviare will be too salty, and if not long enough the eggs cannot be preserved. The caviare is then put into small sacks, whichtare pressed under a screw press to drive out the excess of salt It is packed in barrels containing up to 1,000 pounds or left in the original sacks, which measure 8 by 20 inches. The average export of pressed caviare for the three years 1896 to 1898 has been more than 8,000 tons, representing a value of $1,- 400,000.—Scientific American. gentleman!

' -*, NOVEL WAVE LIGHT. BUOY THAT COMBINES TWO IMPOR- TANT FEATURES. Warns the Mariner lryEnth Light and Sound-vtutomatio Sounding of the Bell-.Numnber of Gas Buoys In Use In the World. Remarkably effective as an aid to navigation is a gas buoy which at the same time is a bell buoy. It is likely to play an important part in the pro- tection of the shipping of this port as well as being a most important factor in increasing and developing the com- merce of New York, says the New York Herald. This is so because through the proper use of these buoys this harbor could be made navigable at any hour, at low tide as• well as when the tide is full, while fogs and thick and stormy weather would no longer be a bar to the free and expe- ditious entry of ships of all tonnage. 'The height of the buoy over all is 18 feet From the water line to the fo- cal plane it measures 10 feet 0 inches, and the diameter of the body of the buoy Is 7 feet, the total weight being 6,860 pounds. The body of the buoy forms the receiver for the compressed gas and is of sufficient size to give proper buoyancy for flotation and of adequate strength to safely hold a pres- sure of 150 to 180 pounds per square Inch. On top of the body is a wrought iron tower about six feet high, surmounting which is a lautern. Surrounding the lantern is a cage for protecting it, and the tower is provided with a platform on which to stand to light or adjust the Same. Just below the platform is suspended a hell weighing 185 pounds. This bell COMBINATION GAS AND BELL BUOY. is sounded automatically every 20 or 80 seconds or, indeed, at regular inter- vals of any duration, all of which may be predetermined. The flow of the gas from the receiver to the lantern fur- nishes the means of operating the bell. Thus a reliable sounding of the bell warning is secured without any de- pendence upon the action of the wa- fers. as Is the case with the old fash- ioned bell buoys. The advantages of these buoys can re easily understood, for they not ou- t/ furnish a fixed or flashing light that can be seen a distance of between six mad eight miles, but operate in com- bination and most successfully a bell, thus affording a double protection to mariners. These buoys will burn con- Unuously day and night from three menthe to one year with one charge a gas and may be rented for about 50 cents a day, including the cost of gas. Buoys of this type without the bell at- tachment are used very largely by all the livilized nations of the world and are officially recommended.

A study of anger from experiences in about 2,000 cases collected from relia- ble observers has been made by G. Stanley Hall. The causes were many and various, often being very trivial, and the physical sensations accompa- nying It differed greatly with the indi- vidual. Flushing was very general, al- though pallor was a ch7teristic in 27 per cent of the cases. The heart beats were violent, several cases of death from rupture of this organ being reported, and there were sometimes pe- eullar sensations in mouth and throat, sometimeg dizziness or faintness, fre- quently tears and generally copious salivation which might produce "froth- ing at the mouth." Common sounds were animallike cries in children, oaths fend threats in adults, while In many cases the throat was paralysed, and there was inability to speak above a whisper or without crying or trem- bling. Butting with the head, biting and scratching are noticeable in child- ish anger.—Stray Stories. A wedding Pennant.

Not All the Tiny Creatures Are In - instead to Human Lite. The time has passed when bacteria are looked upon as unmixed evils. These little plants owe their somewhat unsavory reputation in large degree to the fact that they first attracted gen- eral interest because of their power of producing disease. That they are the cause of many human diseases has been demonstrated beyond peradven- ture, and this subject has proved so fascinating that it was for a long time the only side of bacteriological phe- uomena which received any considera- ble attention. As a result bacteria have acquired the popular reputation of being producers of evil to mankind and have consequently been regarded as wholly undesirable organisms. The studies of recent years, however, have been giving more atteirtien to phases of bacteribloglcal life which are not connected with disease. These studies have disclosed to us a large series of phenomena where these little plants are in various ways of direct advan- tage to mankind. Among other facts we have been slowly learning that In the preparation of the food which comes upon our tables and in its di- gestion the bacilli play no inconsidera- ble part, says a writer in The Interna- tional Monthly. Since they are almost Inconceivably minute, bacteria owe their great influ- ence in nature to their wonderful pow- ers of reproduction. A single individ- ual may in the course of 24 hours pro- duce from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 off- spring. This extraordinary power of reproduction involves the consumption of a vast amount of food material, and profound alterations are produced in this food as the bacteria feed upon it The bacteria are so small that they probably do not take the food inside of their bodies, but they live in the midst of their food and digest it outside of themselves. This results in certain chemical changes in the nature of the food. These changes are mostly of that character which the chemist calls destructive. Under the action of bac- teria chemical molecules which are of a high complexity are constantly being pulled to pieces and reduced to simpler compounds. As a result of this chem- ical action there appears in the food mass upon which the bacteria are feed- ing a variety of new chemical com- pounds. These new compounds are in part simply byproducts of the chemical UI RIB taatectnes i taco they have pulled to pieces, but they are also in part to be regarded as ex- cretions from the bacteria. The use of bacteria in connection . with food de- pends partly upon their power of de- struction and partly upon the nature of these new compounds which they pro- duce. In considering the use of bacteria in food we may notice first a possible val- ue they may possess in assisting the processes of digestion. The digestion that takes place in our stomach and intestines consists in a chemical change is the food. Now, the stomach and intestines are crowded with bacte- ria in inconceivable numbers. As bac- teriologists have studied the action of these intestinal bacteria upon such food as we take into oust stomachs they find that the bacteria produce chemical changes in the food in many respects similar to those of ordinary digestion. As these bacteria certainly grow rapidly in the intestines the ques- tion has naturally arisen whether they may not aid the digestive juice in the digestive process, even in a healthy individual. New Primary Battery. A student of electricity living near Eaton, 0., has perfected a primary bat- tery that may revoletionize industry. The battery which he has just complet- ed will give, it is claimed, a steady cur- rent of 12 volts per square cell at about 50 amperes. Unlike any other primary cell, it keeps up a constant current un- til exhausted. Eight quart cells will run a two horsepower motor 10 hours at an expense of 10 cents. Ten cells will burn twelve 32 candle power lamps ten hours. The cell differs from any other form in that the exciting fluid is dropped into the cell at the rate of one drop a minute while the battery remains in use. Its cheapness of main- tenance and great power, it is claimed, will cause its universal adoptioff on power lines. Almost every house and business will have its own light- ing plant'and power for running sew- ing machines, fans, etc. The highest voltage now obtained from the best form of primary battery is nearly two volts to a gallon cell and then only for a few minutes, as the current rapidly runs rown.—Boston Herald. Cold Air Fans. Electric fans for creating a breeze are now universally known, but a new variation of the idea is announced by The Electrical Review. The im/iroved fan Is mounted over a large, hollow pedestal or hopper. This pedestal has a door through which it may be filled with ice. The electric fan draws a current of air in at the bottom of the pedestal and around through the ice and then forces it out through the room, cooled to a low temperature. The largest sizes hold 75 pounds of ice. the consumption of ice varies with the prevailing heat and the speed given to the fan. osoi Tablas MOW by the Foreleg's - "Ma, oan I go over to Sallie's homy and play a little while?" asks 4 -year -Old Polly.

The Republican Ticket. - The ticket nominated at the repub- lican convention in South St. Paul last week is one that commends 'Welt to the united and hearty sup - of the voters of the county. Mos names found thereon are old and widely known residents, who need no introduction to our readers. For representatives we have G. L. Lytle, of South St. Paul, and E. A. Whitford, of Hastings. Mr.. Lytle is mayor of his town, and Mr. Whit- ford one of the best known attorneys in tht thirtieth district. If they are elected; and there is no good reason why they should not be, Dakota County will be well represented in the lower house next winter. J. A. Jelly, of this city, is the can- didate for county auditor, with all the qualifications requisite for an efficient administration of that office. A business experience of the past eight- een years has given him au extensive acquaintance among the farmers, and by fair dealing he has gained their esteem and confidence to an enviable degree. F. H. Griebie, the popular merchant of Farmington, was named as county treasurer, a position which he would till with credit to himself and satis- faction to those doing business with the office. There is no better man for the place in the county, and the nomination, though entirely unsolic- ited, gives much pleasure to his numerous friends. - J. J. Grisim must be a very popu- lar mail at home, for his nomination as sheriff was entirely due to the persistent demand of the people of South St. Paul and vicinity. He is making a thorough cauvass,apparently quite hopeful over the prospects of an election. The candidate for register of deeds is C. F. Myer, a farmer in Inver Grove. This is his first appearance in county politics, and he has the disadvantage of not being personally- ! ersonallyi known to manyof the voters, but he • is vouched for as being perfectly etnnpetent to fill the place. C. B. Lowell, the candidate for judge of probate, has been a resident of Hastings since 1855, and is proba- bly one of the oldest surveyors in the state. He was county surveyor n. 'n ...n t,._.. -t •-._...,.,+.nil rnarin r creditable official.. William Hodgson, of Hastings, has tilled the office of county -attorney for the past six years to general satisfac- tion. and undoubtedly will be his own successor. He is the leading mem- ber of our local bar, has lived in the county since eigGt years of age, and his ability and texperience entitle him to the suffrages of the people. F. W. Kramer, the candidate for coroner, is a young man of Hastings who bas built up a fine undertaking business during the past twelve se months. Ile is well fitted for the duties of the office, which are peculi- arly in his line, and if elected the taxpayers will never regret it. T. B. McKelvy, of Lakeville, was superintendent of schools in this co\lnty eight years, and by hard work and strict attention to the_ duties of the office attaijeed a high position --among the leading educators of the state. Wilde not an active candidate for the nomination, he was finally persuaded to let his name go on the ticket, and will doubtless receive a cordial support from our school fiScers, teachers, and others interest- ed in the cause of education. , No nominations were made for sur- veyor and court commissioner, which vacancies were referred to the county committee. The office of commissions is one of the most important in theunty, although the compensation is alto- gether out of proportion to the ability required in the faithful dis- charge of the responsible duties. In the first district W. E. Beerse, the well known liveryman op Sibley Street, was nominated by a majority that should ensure an election. He -has acceptably served the first ward as alderman for several terms, and would make a good chairman of the board. In the second district T. G. Kingston, of Marshan, was named. In the third district Albert Tripp, of West St. Paul. In the fifth dist ict W. A. Parry, of Eureka. They re all old residents and representative men, and entitled to the cordial sup- port of their constituencies. Next Tuesday is the last dal for filing nominations to go on the coun- ty ticket. Those interested should make a note' of it. Mrs. H. E. utterfield, of St. Paul, is to receive $200,000 from mining stock in Honduras bequeathed her by a deceased lover. 1 One constitutional amendment will be submitted to a vote of the people _at the ensuing election, which if adopted will authorize the investment of the permanent school funds in local bonds, at three per cent interest. Seven thousand, five hundred pounds of dynamite exploded at Eveleth on Sunday, injuring at least two kundred people, but none serious- ly. The damage to property is esti- mated at $30,000. Comp. William Lee, of this city, was complimented by an unanimous re-election as grand chaplain at the convocation of the grand chapter held in St. Paul on Tuesday. Real estate taxes must be paid on or before the 31st inst. to avoid the ten per cent penalty. Langdon Items. Ruth Keene returned to Minneapo- lis Sunday. - Miss Sylvia Benson is stopping with Mrs. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Morey, of St. Paul, former residents here, have issued invitations for the marriage of their daughter, Miss Sephina Morey, to Mr. Henry Nelson, the event to' take place at the bride's home en the 17th inst. Dr. Frank Ford died at the resi- dence of his parents, Mr: and Mrs. F. C. Ford, in Newport, on Monday of acute bronchitis, aged twenty-three years, The funeral occurred from the hopse on Wednesday, at twop.m., the Rey. E. R. Lathrop officiating. Interment at Red Rock. - Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Keene enter- tained Saturday afternoon in honor of their fifteenth wedding anniversary, about thirty guests beiing present. Refreshments were 'served.

There is, of course, a strong argu. ment in favor of retaining a good, hard working, right minded congress- man in the house. Every year of service adds to his influencer and with each succeeding year he can ac- complish more. The question is, is Mr. Heatwole that kind of a con- gressman? Or is he just simply one who represents his party and nothing else? Mr. Heatwole's record ought to answer this to the satisfaction of every yoter. That he is a man of in- fluence is made certain by the re- sponsible positious he occupies on committees. As chairman of the committee on printing he opposed the plan of the census bureau to job out the government patronage and kept it in the government printing office, and by this effort and several others in the interest of labor he re- ceived the unanimous thanks of the printer's union and other labor organ- izations: When Senator Platt, of New York, encroached upon Mr. Heatwole's right of appointments, he opposed the New York senator and sustained his position. When the Porto Rico tariff bill was up, Mr. Heatwole broke from his party and opposed it manfully to the end and correctly.- No constituent, and especially no old soldier, asks Mr. Heatwole's assistance but he receives it and receives it promptly, as the whole district will testify. Besides this, Mr. Heatwole is in favor of the gold standard and an honest and stable currency-. He supports the government policy in the Philippines, and his entire record in coiY ress leads to the conclusion that Senator Nelson sized him up 'about right in his speech, and that his return t000ngress is de- manded by the interests of his dis- trict.-Faribault Democrat.

Fred Gibbs, dairy inspector, visited with his uncle, F. J. Benson, and family a part of last week. Mrs. Charles Sackett died at her home Monday, of dl;opsy. We can- not . give an obituary this week for want of particulars. A proposition is under considera- tion to have one minister supply the Congregational and Methodist pulpits in this place. Neither congregation is numerically strong, and is thought by many connected with the churches that a union, so far as employing a minister, would be more satisfactory. As far as we are able to learn the proposition is this: The Congrega- tionalists are to pay a stipulated sum to the minister sent here by the Meth- odist conference. The minister is to occupy the Congregational pulpit each Sunday morning, the remainder of the day being at the disposal of the Methodist church. A union of church membership er church property is, we believe, not now contemplated. - Cannon Falls Beacon. In this district the man selected for congress to represent the populist democracy is both a railroad attorney and the legal representative of sever- al national banks. In the third dis- trict the democratic nominee is a rail- road attorney, and voted while a member of the state senate against the gross earnings bill, which Gov. Lind professed to have so much at heart, and which both the populists and the democrats demand that the legislature shall pass. The con- clusion seems inevitable that both populists and democrats are expected quietly to" swallow their principles when party expediency demands it. - Owatonna Journal.

Lind should be campaigning the state and taking to himself credit for the passage of the so-called Somer- ville law, to tax foreign corporations doing business within the state. In doing so the governor pays an uncon- scious, and therefore a sincere, compli- ment to the republican legislature which passed the bill, to the repub- lican auditor and to the repub- lican secretary of state, who recom- mended it in their biennial reports, and to the republican pollen, which has con - Blatantly and continuously given itself to the adoption of just such measures ever since it came into power, forty years ago. If there is any political significance in the passage of the Somerville bill it is in the fact that the governor's recognised representative on the floor of the senate, Senator Stockwell, was the !moat violent and uncompromising opponbnt of the bill. Senator Stockwell le at present the fusion nominee for oonkress in the fifth district, having been selected for that place, like every other fusion nominee, at the direct instigation of Gov. Lind himself. Throughout the session of 1899 Senator Stockwell was admittedly and avowedly the govern- or's mouth -piece in the upper body of the legislature, and frequently chair- man of the demooratio callouses, which were held to discuss and consider vari- ous measures pending. Had Gov. Lind been such an advocate as he now pro- fesses to be of the ,Somerville law It would have been an exceedingly simple and easy task, for hint to have called off the opposition oe!Senttor Stock- well to the Somerville bill and to have given it the support of the democrats in the senate. Instead of doing iso, however, he gave Senator Stookwef his moral support in opposition to the bill by at least refraining from inter- ference, and the most violent attacks upon the bill when it was under dis- cussion in the various stages of its consideration before that body were made by Senator Stockwell, who de- clared that "1f this bill passed and be- comes a law it will be a deliberate rob- bery of 8200.000 a year taken from the legitimate business men of the state." The democratic party must be hard up indeed for campaign material when it will take up a law that was orig- inally recommended by two republican state officials, passed by a republican House of Representatives, concurred in by a republican senate, and forced to its enactment in spite of the oppost-• tion of the democrats, and parade such a hill as something distinctly demo- cratic and something of which the gov- ernor himself is proud and for which he claims all credit. As a matter of fact the governor is entitled to the credit for the passage of the 9onfer- ville bill upon exactly the same theory that the little boy gave credit in his composition when he said: "Pins has saved thousands of people's lives by their not swollering them." Scent of the Onion. It is interesting to make inquiry into the cause of this unfortunate quality of the onion. It is simply due to the presence in some quantity of another mineral matter in the bulb -sulphur. It is this sulphur that gives the onion its germ killing property and makes the bulb so very useful a medicinal agent at all times, but especially in the spring, which used to be -and still as in many Places -the season for taking L.t�..AAa „at} lienale iavia tanbloned houses before sulphur tablets came in- to vogue, says Chambers' Journal. Now, sulphur when united- to hydro- gen, one of the gases of water, forms sulphureted hydrogen and then be- comes a foul smelling, well nigh fetid compound. The onion, being so juicy, has a very large percentage of water in its tissues, and this, combining with the sulphur, forms the strongly scent- ed and offensive sutlstance called sul- phuret of allyle, which is found an all the alliums. This sulphuret of allyle mangles more especially with the vola- tile or aromatic oil of the onion. It is identical with the malodorant principle found an asafetida, which as almost the symbol of all smells that are nasty. The horse radish, so much liked with roast beef for its keen and biting prop- erty, and the ordinary mustard of our tables both owe their strongly stimula- tive properties to this same sulphuret of allyle, which gives them heat and acridity, but not an offensive smell, owing to the different arrangements of the atoms in their volatile oils. This brings us to a most curious fact in nature, that most strangely, yet most certainly, constructs all vegetable volatile oils in exactly the same way - composes them all, whether they are the aromatic essences of cloves, or- anges, lemons, cinnamon, thyme, rose, verbena, turpentine or onion, of exact- ly the same proportions, which are 81% of carbon to 11% of hydrogen, and ob- tains all the vast seeming diversities that our nostrils detect in their scent simply by a different arrangement of sulphur others. Many Meteor Radiants. Meteors may be observed practically the whole year round, except when cloud or moonlight interferes. Yet one month ranks pre-eminently as the me- teor month -the month of August. It is only in recent years that our knowl- edge of these natural fireworks has made any real advance. By the labors of a very few observers, one of whom, Mr. Denning, may be said to have out- weighed all others put together in the value and number of his results, we know of many hundreds of radiant points, and they have been shown to be not mere distempers of the air, but bodies of a truly planetary nature, traveling around the sun in orbits as defined as that of the earth itself. - Knowledge. Away Frog Roma. It breaks parents to have their boys leave home, but it Is the best thing that can ever happen to them. A man gets a training when away from home that he needs in after life, and which he can never receive at home. It is a grandmotherly notion that a man should be tucked in his bed at home every night until the day he marries and goes to a home of his own; such hothouse treatment puts him in poor Gond ion for the cold blasts he is bound to encounter later in life.-At- ebison Globe.

Thackeray once asked one of these men whether he had ever Wet a pair through the omission to exact a depos- it, and he replied that he had never done so except on one occasion, when the circumstances made it almost par- donable. A well dressed young fellow was having his second skate fastened on, when he suddenly broke away from the man's hands and dashed on to the ice. The next instant a thickset, powerful man was clamoring for another pair. "I shall nab him now," he cried, "for I am a dab at skating." He was a sheriff's officer in pursuit of his prey, and a very animating sight it was to watch the chase. The officer was, as he had boasted, a first rate skater, and it became presently obvi- ous that he was running down his man. Then the young fellow determin- ed to take a desperate risk for liberty. The ice, as usual, under the bridge was marked "dangerous," and he made for it at headlong speed. The fee bent beneath his weight, but he got safely over. The sheriff's officer folfbwed, with equal pluck; but, being a heavier Iran- broke ir o el. anti mnn aso.sruod "His skates," said the narrator of the incident, "I got back after the inquest, but those the young man had oil I nev- er saw again." -Youth's Companion.

BOUCHERITS, "The Company of the Southeast has the honor to inform ifs many patrons and ths�jj public in general that during the holidays of Whitsuntide it will is- sue front all points along its line return tickets to Paris, good from Friday, May 25, to Monday, June 4, inclusive." Having read the above advertisement in the morning paper of Chantenay- lez-Vaucluse, where he resided, M. Ma- rais ,Cambois, the son anis successor of a worthy father in the silk and wool business, began to figure up half aloud in the silence of his private office the cost of the trip to Paris for himself, his wife and his charming daughter, Mlle. Eugenie. Three first class tick- ets, 231 francs and 90 centimes; with incidental expenses, 250 francs; charge for lodgings, "for when I go to Paris," remarked M. Cambois, "I usually pay 4 francs a day, but of course during an exposition the Parisians must grow rich at the expense of the visiting strangers." So, with a deep sigh, 11. _Mardis Cambois dotted down G francs as the price per day for a room. Three persons, 18 francs -20 with attendance —therefore for nine days 180 francs. So much more for meals, carriages, theaters, eta Total, 790, with inci- dentals, about 800 or 900 francs, per- haps 1,000. Tes, the trip was quite possible, and the kind hearted merchant began to enjoy in advance the pleasure which he knew his estimable wife Elise and his charming slaughter Eugenie would take in this visit -to Paris and the wonderful sights of the great exposition. Indeed, since Eugenie was 7 years old he had promised her a trip to Paris, and now that she was 21 he determined the promise should be fulfilled. Besides, the year had been an unusually pros- perous one, for the new silks received from the house of Legcay & Co. of Lyuus had sold remarkably well and during the first five months of the sale bad brought him almost an ordinary year's profit. Hence he could well af- ford the expense of the journey, and without further reflection M. Cambois opened the door of his private office, whichcommunicated with his resi- dence, and announced to the surprised Elise and Eugenie a trip to Paris. "l'ack your trunks immediately," said - he in his good natured way, "for we shall start on the 25th for the exposi- tion." Two exclamations of joy greeted this announcement, and Mme. and Mlle. Cambois began at once their prepara- tions for the journey. M. Cambois simply boasted when he said, "When I go to Paris," for, as a matter of fact, he had visited the capital but once in 15 years. Traveling was not the par- ticular forte of M. Cambois,' and, on seeing him, one easily understood the reason why. Burdened with an obesi- ty which was almost unbearable, he had long ago said farewell to his feet, which at present he could only view in his mirror, and if he was not a distin- guished member of the "Cent Kilos society" it was simply because the "Cent Kilos" had no branch at Chan- tenay. Usually, however, the people of southern Prance are extremely thin, but M. Cambois was an exception to this general rule. Hence when there was question of putting his enormous body in movement be hesitated long before making up his mind to do so, and in the Iiresent instance only his tender affection for bis wife and daughter and his great desire to af- ford them pleasure induced him to un- dertake this journey to the exposition. Mme. Cambois presented a striking contrast to her worthy husband, for she was as thin, small and delicate as he was round and heavy, while her shrinking, timid and reserved manners were directly opposed to the expansive and noisy ensemble of M. Cambois, In Chantenay they were laughingly re- ferred to as "the cask and Its faucet," an innocent pleasantry which did not prevent them from being greatly es- teemed, for Cambois pere was held in high regard by his brother merchants. The lovely Eugenie, their daughter, united in her own charming person the physical strength of her father with the delicate gracefulness of her moth- er. Her figure was simply perfect in its Trilbylike proportions and would have satisfied the most fastidious sculptor. Add to this an extremely pretty face crowned by a wealth of golden hair, large, expressive dark eyes, a rosebud mouth whose smile dis- closed a superb set of teeth, and you have a picture of the "beauty of Chan- tenay-lez-Vaucluse," a title which was bestowed upon Eugenie by her friends and admirers. It is a great occurrence to travel when one is not accustomed to do so, hence the departure of the expansive M. Cambois for Paris was attended by . unusual excitement, and until the very last moment, notwithstanding the ex- hortations of his wife and daughter to be calm. M. Cambois remained in nen petual 'notion, transformed, as it were, into au ambulating fountain, much to the amusement of Eugenie, whose af- fection for her father did not prevent her from appreciating the ludicrous side of the paternal character. And even after M. Cambois had entered his compartment his excitement did not subside until he had counted and re- counted his small bundles, verified the presence of his portfolio, his"watch, his i keys, his handkerchief and purse, when lie finally wiped the perspiration from his massive forehead, heaved a sigh and settled down in his seat. His de - 1 sire had been fulfilled, for they bad the compartment entirely to them. selves. Of course M. Cambois himself occupied fully a quarter of it and with- out fear of inconveniencing anybody spread himself comfortably. At the end of three hours they were approaching Lyons, when the amiable Cambois decided to take measures which would insure the compartment to himself and family until they reach- ed Paris, and with this end in view he adroitly scattered his bundles over the cushions, and when the guard opened the door and announced, "Lyon-Per- raehe, 15 minutes' stop!" M. Cambois stationed himself before the door, ob- structing the view with his enormous person, and the travelers , who were venturesome enough to approach the Cambois compartment withdrew in fear before the stalwart fortifications. This soldierly maneuver would have beett'`entirely successful had M. Cam- bois remained only a few moments longer at his post, but just before the train started, feeling sure of his tri- umph, he threw himself back on the cushions, and just at that moment a traveler appeared at the door. "The compartment is full," angrily cried 111. Cambois. "Not entirely, I believe," was the im- perturbable reply of the newcomer. "'There are stili, I think, four or five places," and without paying further attention to the irascible Cambois the late arrival, who was a tall, handsome young man of distinguished bearing and faultlessly attired, tranquilly in- stalled himself in the last corner of the compartment directly opposite to Eu- genie. Ile then took out from his ele- gant traveling bag a package of news- papers and began to read, apparently as oblivious. of the Cambois family as though the estimable trio had remained at Chantenay-lez-Vaucluse. The position assumed by the hand- some young traveler, vis-a-vis to the Cambois family, would probably have lasted until they reached Paris had not the mass of bundles placed above Eu - genie's head fallen suddenly to the floor, when the beauty of Chantenay- lez-Vaucluse gave a pretty little scream alike the cry of a frightened bird. The young man came gallantly to the rescue and, after gathering up the bundles, inquired with polite con- cern if his fair neighbor had been hurt. He then resumed bis seat, but he did not resume his reading, for the acci- dent had drawn his attention to the teautiful Eugenie, and he evidently ecided in his own mind that it was ar more interesting to study this pret- y tableau -vivant placed before him han to plunge again into the study of olitical questions. M. Cambois, touched by the obliging- ess of his traveling companion, which ad permitted him to remain tranquil- n in his place without even disturb - ng himself, suddenly felt his anger ubside and, giving way to his ever xpansive nature, began an animated onversation with his new found rieud. The young man listened with olite attention, responded when ocea- on required, but keptjsis eyes fixed n the daughter. Before the train ached Dijon M. Cambois had inform - d his new acquaintance where he re, ded, his occupation, his name and any other minor details. At each nnouncement the trat-eler simply said, Ah!" And even when M. Cambois nounced with a certain amount of ide that he represented at Chan- nay-lez-Vaucluse the important house Legeay tC' Co. of Lyons the an- uncement was followed by the usual clamation. Though the young man as extremely amiable and polite, he !Ailed bels_ conversation to generali- s and nefer once did he allude to his ace of residence or his occupation. At Auxerre M. Cambois confided to s new friend that he was going to vis with his family to visit the ex- sition, and for awhile the exposition came the principal topic of conversa- n between them, and as the young n had already visited many of its nders he was able to give the Cam- s family some valuable pointers.

It was E genie, hocvet-er. who answered t question as she playfully introduce her father to M. George Legeay Lyons. Both gentlemen were squall surprised, for the young man had ne er revealed his name even to the prett daughter. "But how in the world. mademoisell did you find out my name?" he asked "Quite simply," replied the youn girl. "I read it on your traveling ba when you entered the compartment a Lyons." "Which goes to prove"— said the young man, laughing. "That a woman can keep a secret, interrupted Eugenie before he had time to finish the sentence. "Pardon the, sir," said M. Cambois, removing his hat with profound re- spect, "bat are you connected with th house of Legeay R. Co. of Lyons?" "I am one of the partners," coolly replied M. Legeay.

The fair Eugenie blushed, for she had overheard the conversation, but as she did not protest M. and Mme. Cam. hots offered no objection to the mar- riage. Since the engagement the Cambois family, accompanied by M. Legeay, make a daily pilgrimage to the moving sidewalk, but M. and Mme. Cambois allow the young couple to make the tour alone and remain quietly seated on the quay until their return, for, ac- cording to M.

To get the right Idea on that score you must see the men in their business dress." Among the business suits for the com- ing season the three button cutaway will rank first, and close behind this in point of popularity will be the straight front four button sack. Then as third in line will come the four button cuta- way sack. The double breasted straight sack will be worn much by the men who are indifferent to moderate cold and who dispense with overcoats for ordinary street wear, but the single breasted coat of the same -tern will continue to be worn, as it was in the spring and summer.

"I shave at their houses six or seven women every day. I don't know why it is some women have beards. It is very distressing to them, and they shave close and often. It is their only remedy.

CHIC GOWNS FOR THE MOUNTAINS, YACHTING AND GENERAL USE. Blue the Foremost Fall Coloring. Useful Serge.—(Cloth of Gold, Gold Timms, Braid and Buttons the , Grand Ton—White Cloth Bolero.. The tide of fashion turning now . to- ward the mountains brings into view some early autumn costumes in which our familiar and ever useful friends cloths and serge. are most handsomely exploited. Among them is the slate blue cloth gown of the first cut, simple, yet decidedly chic, the jacket being or• lamented, with rows of stitching, and the collar composed of ctossbarred vel- vet, ivory and blue, mating the styl- ish pouched underbodice. Yachting modes which the coutu- rieres bring out Lavishly for the early CHIC GOWN FOR THE MOUNTAINS. autumn season furnish also the inspi- ration for many costumes that never smell of salt water, but serve equally well the purposes of the inlanders. The second cut shows two instances of these practical affairs in blue and pas- tel yellow serge respectively. And here it should be mentioned that "blue" is one of the watchwords of the autumn. In every variety it has blos- somed forth—royal, navy, azure, Rus- sian, periwinkle, with navy to the fore and Russian an excellent second. There are, of course, others, but a na- vy blue gown of serge or cloth, with gold braid and buttons, is far and away the popular favorite as the autumn race of fashion begins. Extraordinary indeed is the vogue of gold. There are girdles of gold tissue folded narrowly around the waist, gold braid on bodice and on skirt and wrought gold buttons, both large and small, in profusion. There are also cot tars and boleros of cloth of gold, and at least a touch of gold gives the neces- sary chic to the latest costumes. An- tique silver buttons also, where their coloring is more appropriate, as on some of the pastel cloths, add charm to the new gowns of the season. White cloth replaces taffeta for the little stitched boleros and other Jackets such as flourished in the summer, and the vogue for white and very light colors threatens to extend onward indefinite- ly. Little velvet coatees also, than which nothing is more generally be- coming, are being turned out in large numbers. One white serge costume just made had a series of light blue straps vir- tically graduating from the ceinture toward the knee, where each strap EARLY STYLES IN SERGE. opened out over a fanlike plaiting of white serge. The white corsage had a bolero jacket of the blue laced across the front with black silk cords and tiny . gold buttons. Foremost French gown builders have. it is said, resolved to bring in again the pointed evening bodice, the front to be very long and sharp and the bodice cut off quite to the waist line over the hips and at the back. To Remove Tan. While a coat of summer tan is quite the proper thing to bring home from one's vacation, its continuance is some- times more lasting than is desirable. But there is a remedy. In fact, there are two or more. Rub the hands with equal parts of pure lime juice, lemon juice and laven- der water, adding 15 grains of borax. Wipe the hands with a fine towel and afterward with a flannel and silk hand- iierchiet. Or put a pinch or two of powdered alum and a teaspoonful of powdered sal ammoniac in about a pint and a half of warm salt water and dissolve, then a little toilet vinegar. If the hands are soaked in water to which a little of the above lotion has been added night and morning, It will help to keep them white and free from roughness. The Ladle.' Galler,. It is not perhaps generally known that an order for the withdrawal of strangers from the English house of commons does not extend to the ladles' gallery, which is not supposed to be within the house. Ladies can there- fore only be informed of the subject of debate and left to withdraw or not at thatr own discretion. The Panama Hat. "The cheapest straw hat to buy," said a man who owns a beauty, "is, after all, a Panama, like this. Look - here." He took down his big white hat, which was creased down the mid- dle like., pair of trousers, and rolled it up tight; then he tossed it in the air. With a cracking sound it spread,,open and fluttered down to the floor in its original shape, deep center crease and all. "You could soak this bat for a week," he continued, "and iron it out flat afterward, but when you came to put it on again it would be just as you, see it now.

The art has been handed down in their families from one generation to another, and it is a secret art, unknown to any other people in the world. "These women, living so far away from everything, are ignorant of the fashions, and that is why the hats never change their ugly shape. If they were fashionably made, the demand for them would be enormous. As it is, hatters travel through all that country and buy them up at good prices. "The perfect Panama hat costs at least $30, and if you should pay $50 for a big and unusually light one you would not be getting stuck."—Philadel- phia Record.

Simply procure a blank about four feet in length and as -broad as available and a stout pole, h. 1 . to 20 feet long. 1[,ake a frame, or vat. to hold the alq.le. to be pressed. It can be constructed of one inch boards about a foot square. Set this vat on HOMEMADE CIDER PRESS. the plank, a. and have a channel cut round it in the form of the Tetter Y.. Place the plank and vat at the base of a tree or stump. using a few blocks to raise it from the ground one or two feet. Now cut a deep notch in the tree or stump about 11.1 or�`2 feet above the plank and insert the eavy end of the pole. At the other end of the pole set four pins, as shown. The apples to be squeezed with the press are thrown into the vat a few at a time, and a heavy wooden stamper is used to crush them. When the vat is full of the broken up apples, a wooden cover, fitting inside of the vat. Is laid on top. A few blocks are placed on top of this cover so as to allow the pole to press down on the movable covering. The pole is weighted down with heavy stones or bowlders placed between fie foiir pins at the end remote from the press. Cut several small V shaped ops ings round the bottom of the vat or Make a system of channels connect- ing with the large channel to collect the juice and permit it to follow the course along the plank until it reaches the vessel used to receive it. New Artificial Foods to Replace Meat. In opposition to the determined vege- tarians, who condemn all animal food. there Is a graving number of physiolo- gists, who insist that abstention from meat if continued for ages and genera- tions, is responsible for the feebleness and low intellect of certain races, says the New York Press. Chemists are becoming more and more anxious to lind new sources of nitrogenous foods, and the artificial food industry bas developed widely in Geripany, t.hiefly in "the large works which supply dye- stuffs. for which albumen is an im- portant material. The artificial foods are mostly mix- tures of more or less secret composi- tion. Thus. the tropon of Professor Finkler of Bonn. whose works are at Muhlheim, consists of one-third of ani- mal and two-thirds of vegetable albu- men. Albumenose is a frequent con- stituent of those foods. By albumen- ose.is understood a preparation which, as regards solubility. occupies a posi- tion intermediate between the orig- inal animal albumen and its peptone. The managers of the Elberfeld Far- . henwerke have made a hit with their Somatose which. is such an albumenose, and have recently brought out the more economical tannin and milk somatose, • which may become a very important food far the masses. This latter prep- faldation utilizes the casein of the milk. Electrocuting a Tree. -4%. large elm had recently to be re- moved from the grounds of the Illinois Central -Hospital For the Insane at Jacksons alle. The only crosscut saw on the place was not large enough, and no out wanted the job of chopping it down. During the consultation of an Inibj•oviseti ways and means committee the'electrleicn of the hospital happen- Ing to pass It was suggested that be ejeet;rocute It. He find -4 consented. and a piece of wire rope was secured, b=eat$i)1 to a dull red (in the sunlight) by th!* current from the hospital plant and used ae;a saw. The tree was 42 Ineheg in diameter, and it took two 'Imam/ minutes to burn It throtTgh. The heating current varied froth 120 to 135 amperes direct, the voltage • at the machine being about Thoughtlessness. Thoughtlessness is at a discount in this practical, workaday world. An employer once asked a clerk why he failed to take advantage of an oppor- tunity to make a good sale. "I didn't think, sir," was the reply. "That Is no excuse," very justly rejoined the mer- - chant. "You are paid to think!" Per- haps half the failures to achieve suc- cess in life come of thoughtlessness. Brains were created not for ornament, but for use. The man who thinks wins the race. Weed`■ Harbor Insects. A writer in American E;ardening urges the Importance of -keeping weeds cut down as one measure in the war on Insect pests. Many of the insects that infest field and garden crops live on the weeds that spring up in early spring until the cultivated crops come on. Of course if only one farmer In a community kept the weeds under sub- jection it would have small effect on.: the insects. / Bids and Sleeping. A German doctor has been investi- gating the question of beds, and the re- sult of his labors bas been lately given f to the world in the pages of a German journal. • In the first place, to convince mankind of the importance of his sub- ject, the doctor reminds all mankind I that we spend from one-fourth- to one- third of our lives in bed, after which he proceeds to advise thetworld on the ' healthiest -kind of couch and the most sensible manner of reposing thereon. A hard bed appears to be the best, and it is laid down that children from the earliest years should be trained to sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds are too warm and do not admit suffi- cient air. Even in the case of the bard bed the sleeper is warned to see that his covering, whether woolen or cotton, is not so heavy that the body is kept overwarm and fresh air is excluded. This ventilation, according to our au- thority, is all important. But what will middle aged people say when the man of science bids them dispense with their pillows.? Pillows, he de- clares, are evils, and it Is right that we should sleep with limbs uncramped on a perfectly horizontal plane. Knowing the weakness of human flesh, however, the doctor declares that if pillows are 'retained they should be neither too soft nor too thick. A point on whichasot people will agree with this authority is the neces- sity for constant (the doctor asks for daily) airing and sunning of the bed- ding. Much ill health may be attribut- ed to carelessness in this matter.—Lon- don Globe. A Story of Whistler. The Boston Transcript says: "A di- verting anecdote is told of the boyhood of Mr. Whistler, the greatest modern impressionist. He was apprenticed to some engineers who were etching elab- orate maps on copper. One day his employer asked him if he alsd could etch maps on copper. 'Ob, yes. I can etch,' promptly answered young Whis- tler. "As a matter of fact he had never used an etching needle in his life. However, they 'gave him the copper, and he set to work, making a very fine and beautiful map. - But round the edges of the plate, which when bitten in with acid are always stopped out, he etched some characteristic little sketch. es of the diff rent members of the firm, includin a •ery humorous one of the chief himself. "Shortly sifter he happened to go away for a week or two for his holi- day. Meantim the plate bad been bitten in an. . ria ed with all of the dreadful li t e carltatures that he had forgotten stop out appearing in star- tling prom . • , the sketch of the chief being esally remarkable be- cause of its great resemblance to that gentleman, who was so enraged at the indignity of the thing that immediately on Whistler's return he dismissed him." The Gold Briek Swindle. "The gold brick swindle," said a business man quoted in the New Or- leans Times -Democrat, "Is one of the most plausible propositions ever ad- vanced and has landed some of the cleverest business men in the country. A number of years ago it used to be a common thing for banks in the west to buy gold bricks—I mean real ones— and frequently there were the best of reasons for keeping the transaction quiet. "It often happened that the owner of somepartly developed mine would snake an unexpected strike and wish to buy the adjacent property. Natu- rally he would want to hold back the news of his discovery until be secured the land and if he had any bullion to dispose of would make the sale as quietly as possible. The banks be- came accustomed to deals of that kind and were consequently pretty easy prey fora gold brick swindler who turned up 'with a precisely similar sto- ry. "1 don't believe I exaggerate when 1 say that fully one-third of all the bank- ing houses in the western mineral belt were at some time victimized by this game." A Dogfight In Chnreh. The Westminster Budget says that it was once usual for highland shepherds to take their dogs to church and leave them outside the pews. Two shep- t herds at enmity sat on opposite sides of the aisle one Sunday. Soon after the sermon began the dogs, one a collie and the other not, seemed to enter into their masters' quarrel. One tender of the flock and then the other egged on his animal, and each faithful dog obey- ed his master. The people at last cran- ed their necks over the pews, and when the dogs actually fought not a few of the congregation were standing up. The minister's patience was ultimate- ly exhausted, and so he called to his "hearers" and said, "Ah, weel, my brither•in, I see ye are more interested in the dogfight than in my sermon, and so I'll close the buike—and I'll bet half a crown on the collie!" Had It lIewered. Sir Augustus Rarfls once settled the pitch question in his own offhand fash- ion. A famous prima donna of his op- era company came to him complaining that the piano used for vocal rehears- als was too high and asking that it might be lowered. "Certainly," replied Druriolanus, with a bow. "Here, Forsyth, have a couple of inches sawed off the legs of this piano." Tarantula non.

Large Object Appear Solidi In the Gre�Solidi Cathedral. During a recent ceremony in St. Pe- ter's, Rome, one of the crystal chande- liers suspended from the ceiling began to creak ominously, and the people be- neath it hastily scattered. In a mo- ment the mass fell and was dashed in- to a thousand pieces on the floor below. In St. Peter's a few days before when the workmen were suspending these chandeliers they were taking them out of piles of numbered boxes, for St. Pe- ter's, like a #heater, has many "proper- ties" and is decked in a different man- ner for'itg different ceremonials. Cords run over pulleys fastened far up aloft, and with these the chande- liers were hoisted to their places. St. Peter's is t;o enormous that the eye there is continually deceived. The chubby cherubs at the holy water font look to be the size of ordinary 'babies, yet they are nearly seven feet tall, and a man standing besede thein looks like a dwarf. When the workmen were hoisting these chandeliers from the floor, a traveler noted with amazement that the masses of crystal were over eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to their places far up in the dim heights they looked about the size of a man's head. Workmen in St. Peter's are called "sanpietrini." They ,take their name from the basilica "San Pietro"—"san pietrino," plural "sanpietrini." They have a set of lofty scaffolds mounted on rollers. Thee they move from place to place about the vast church. They are not unlike our fire departments' water towers. Ladder after ladder runs up the scaffolding, and by their aid they reach places from 100 to 150 feet above the floor. Other ingenious scafildings are used for work on the Inside of the dome. Seen up there the "sanpletrini" look like flies crawling' on the ceiling. The top of the dome is about 400 feet above the Boor.—St. Louis Republic. Grandmothers' Finery the Rage'. "Any girl finding a bit of antique em- broidery, an old brooch or fob, is now the envy of her acquaintances," writes Emma M. Hooper in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The fob is worn with the chatelaine watch; odd brooches are set as belt clasps and the embroidery fig- ures as a yoke, V or revers on waist or jacket, no matter how odd the silk, cloth or velvet may be or where it came from, so long as it is antique. New buttons for ornamental purposes— for buttons are not supposed to be use- ful nowadays—resemble old fashioned brooches, and lovely pendants are of the ancient miniatures. Grandmoth- ers who saved such bits are nosy In high favor, for 1900 is a dressy year, with bizarre effects softened by good taste and beautiful tints. Black trim- mings may be worn with all colors. Much white and cream for neckwear and frontings are correct, and the com- bination of black and white is accepted with favor. Quantities of garniture are lavished on the corsage." He Rose Rapidly.

It is curious to note how smart have become the frocks that were once char- acterizedmainly by utility. A few years ag we preferred a coat and skirt, w h a shirt and sailor hat, to anythi for the river, the shore; the picnicking party, etc., -but now people come in the most impracticable gar- ments. However, the pretty light toi- lets of the day add brightness and life to all social -affairs and are delight- ful when worn by young and attractive women or pretty debutantes, but some items are woefully out of place worn by a woman of .mature years who would be expected to know better. As a natter of fact, one need never grow old nowadays, but she must not dress incongruously. There is no sense in putting a pink muslin hat as an ad- junct to a severely made black cloth gown or some such respectable fabric. Iu the favorite linens the pastel shade of blue gray is a peculiarly hap- py coloring for the person it suits, au" the smartest effect is gained by a strapped skirt and a coat reaching just below the waist or an Eton decorated with military buttons and disclosing a soft vest of white. These look charm- SMART FASHIONS. Why it is Called Dote!' Gap. When Ben Butler was endeavoring to get the Union gunboats up the James, he found the water in the bend at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them pass, to say nothing of the fact that the Confederates had erected two or three batteries along the bend in order to give him a warm reception. So be went ahead and cut a canal across the neck and suddenly, instead of being 141 miles from Richmond, he was only six. Ever since that time the canal has been used, and the government now considers it the channel of the river and keeps it in shape. The plan- tations along the land were thus sud- denly drained of their very lifeblood and have naturally fallen into decay. The place is called Dutch Gap be- cause at this spot, in early colonial days, ( Dutchman worked a very smooth game upon the unsuspecting Indian. The Dutchman wagered the Indian that he could beat him paddling a canoe around the bend. The Indian took him up on the instant and gave him a mile the start. They started just above the bend, the Indian a mile behind, and when the Dutchman reach- ed the neck he jumped on shore, grab- bed his canoe out of the water, ran across to the other side with it, drop- ped it into the water ain and calmly awaited the arriv of the astonished Indian, who had paddled frantically around the bend in the endeavor to catch up with him. What the wager was is not recorded, but the Dutchman doubt ss got possession of 200,000 or 300,000 acres of land as a result of the trick.—Cor.

Linens look particularly nice made in Russian blouse fashion, with a wide stitched band, if the wearer be slight, but otherwise folds of soft crepe de chine, oriental satin or finely tucked black glace. Very smart is one in a pale shade of linen, with a little bolero fastened by means of tiny black velvet strappings and paste studs. This has a black glace sash tying at the side and boned back and front. The strappings of I velvet are continued down one side of the skirt, showing a tiny plaiting of white lisse, which fabric also- forms the full waistcoat of the bodice. Frocks in cherry shades have enor- mous collars of ecru embroidery and sometimes a sailor's knot or black vel- vet or seine equally chic relief. Smart costumes in white serge, very much stitched and strapped, are doing great duty this summer.

There is a six foot laundryman in Norristown who weighs 300 pounds. It is his own fault too. "When I was 18." he will explain sad- ly, "I was like a lead pencil. A thin- ner fellow you never -saw. I beard then that if I wished to get fat I need only to drink, morning and even- ing, as much water as I could hold. I wanted very badly to get fat. so I be- gan this water treatment. A pint or so was at first my limit, and even that would sicken me, but as time passed my capacity became greater. Soon I could drink two or three quarts, and in time I could as easily drink a gallon. Well, the remelt was excellent. • I took on flesh at a great rate I got. too, so that I enjoyed my long night and morning drinks. I would look forward to my gallon draft all through the day. When, after seven years, I had reach- ed the nice weight of 1211. pounds, I decided to stop the treatment. But, alas, I couldn't. The long habit had grown too strong. It had made me a slave.

'The Royal Mourning. Nothing recent has shown the sweet womanly characteristics of the Princess of Wales more than the inscription she caused to be affixed to the wreath sent in her own nayie to lay on theccpfan of the late Duke of Saxe -Coburg. It'read: "To dearest Alfred, in loving memory from his devoted sister Alex. Sleep, our beloved, and take thy rest! Now comes peace! Good night!" Another from the Prince of Wales and the princess was of white lilies tied with white ribbon. It was .inscribed, "To our brother Alfred, as a token of affec- tion from his devoted and sorrowing brother Bartie and his sister Alex and their children." The queen's wreath was in a scheme of red, white and blue in scarlet geraniums, white stocks and heliotropes and bore the inscription, "Frons his sorrowing mother, the queen." There was also an immbnse wreath of oak leaves at the foot of the coffin marked, "From his three sisters, Helena, Louise and Beatrice." These wreaths were placed with the coffin in the vault. MEN AS HOUSE SERVANTS. Their Success In Chicago—House- ' hicago—House- rhold Treasures and No Mistake. The city of Chicago is credited with eing the first to try the experiment which is the subject of this article, first employing men as "chamber- maids," kitchen helpers, etc., in ho- tels; then, as the success of these ten- tative beginnings became known, pri- vate families also took up the idea, with the result that many families in that city are now very acceptably serv- ed by men. A lady living in Chicago a few months ago wrote a friend a long letter detail- ing her experiences with a man as gen- eral servant and was emphatic in her opinion that she had made Po mistake, but that her servant was a "household treasure," and, although she took him in "green" from the factory, where he was an ordinary machine tender ut a short time before, he is now as nod a plain cook as any of the women em- ployed by her friends and is as neat, both in his work and personally, as the best of maids could possibly be. Her family consists of herself, her husband and grown up daughter, and she had always heretofore found it necessary to keep a cook and a housemaid as well as to pay a woman to come week- ly to do the family washing. After her servant bad become suffi- ciently versed in the art of cookery to get along properly with the aid which the family cookbooks afforded he vol- untarily dffered to do the laundry work, having paid strict attention to the methods of the work while it had been done by 'the regular laundress. Eris mistress saw no objection to let- ting him try, with the result that that work is also well done and the cost of it saved. About the time that things were working in this way her maid, who was a good one, did as nearly all good maids do—left and married. My friend was in despair and was bewail- ing to her daughter the fact that she would now have to begin the work of searching for and training another maid when her cook assured her that he thought be would have plenty of time to do all the work of the house if she cared to try him. I think I can hear the objection, "Yes, but what about the expense of employing men for such service?" In this it Is a great saving, and, as the servant hi :elf explains it, he is bet- ter off. Hi= ..istress now pays him $4 per week. While he was "green" and needed help and direction in all he did he received $2.50. When he worked in the factory, be received $7 per week. Of this $4 went for board and fe cents for car fare, leaving $2.40 cents for clothing, laundry and all other ex- penses. His wage now, you see, is thus equiv- alent to at least $8.00 from his stand- point. The work is no hatrder, the mistress, he says, Is not so harsh as his former foreman, and his board and lodging are superior to - anything he cold before afford, so that he feels as th gh his employers are entitled to the best service he can give, and he gives it. While at work the man wears a long sleeved, high necked apron which pro- tects him from neck to feet. It Is made so simply that it can be slipped on dr off at a moment's notice. When the doorbell rings, it is instantly dis- carded and a ,white linen jacket as- sumed, in whijh the servant looks as neat aste_y_nialdservant in Chicago— neater than a good many, In fact. Both apron and jacket are always spot- less, and the man seems to take genu- ine pleasure in having both himself and his surroundings in apple pie or- der.—Designer.

Putting Up Peaches and Pears. Spring and summer preserving is important, but hutumn's possibilities are the richest of the year. The pre- paring of peaches, pears, plums, quinces, blueberries (the one fruit which is as good cooked or preserved as raw), besides all the pickling and relish making—the list of delicacies the housewife can make is irresistibly at- tractive. There is nothing radically new In methods or results, but there are always variations of the common ways of making the old specialties. In these days of rich and varied living we feel a digestive recoil from old fashion- ed pound for pound preserves, popular up to a decade ago. "Preserves" today Means or should mean one-half to three-fourths of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Canned fruit should be Just "sweetened to taste," which should never mean more than one-fourth ofa pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Even jams and mar- malades are better if made in the pro- portion of two-thirds or three-fourths of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit instead of pound for pound. Jel- lies alone must keep to the old propor- tions to give the proper consistency. For any and al\ reserving,'canning and jelly and jam making use only a porcelain lined iron kettle and wooden or silver spoons, says a writer in Wo- man's Home 9ompanion, who gives the following among other recipes: Do not waste time, sugar and jars on fruit that is inferior. Fill a wire bas- ket holding a couple of quarts with selected peaches and plunge it into a pot of boiling water, letting It remain from three to five minutes, according to the ripeness of the fruit. Remove now and roll out on a platter. Skin and if to be canned drop into hot jars, as no more cooking will be necessary, then cover with boiling hot sirup and seal. Make the sirup of 1% pints of sugar to a quart of water, boiling 15 minutes. Peaches are best when canned whole, because of the flavor the pit gives them. If halved, four or five pits should be put into each jar. In pre- - serving peaches first weigh the skinned fruit, then get three-fourths of its weight in sugar. Make a sirup of this sugar in the proportion of ono pint to one-half pint of water. As soon as it boils skim until clear, add the fruit, which should be halved, and cook, nev- • er allowing it to boil violently, until transparent. The Duchess is perhaps the finest flavored and best pear for putting up. It ripens very late and is of handsome shape and size. There are of course other pears which are excellent for preserving. In either canning or pre- serving first wash the fruit, pare, halve and neatly core it and then lay it on a platter under a wet gloth to prevent its discoloring. Put all the parings in the preserving kettle and more than cover them with cold water. Fit a steamer over the kettle, put in two layers of fruit and steam till tender. Rt It this operation until all is done, adding boil-` ing water to the parings as it wastes away. When the fruit is cooked, put the parings in a jelly bag and drain off all the juice. Measure this juice and return it to the kettle, adding for can- ned pears one-half as much sugar as there is juice in the kettle and for pre- served pears twice as much sugar. As soon as.the sirup has boiled enough to be skimmed clear drop in as much fruit as can be managed without crowding. Cook ten minutes for canning and until the fruit looks somewhat transparent for preserxes. Cucumber Pickles: Wash and tripe a half peck of small green cucumbers. Pack them in a jar or large bowl, pour over a brine made with one-half a pint of salt and two quarts of boiling water. Let stand for three days. drain oil' the brine, heat to boiling, pour again over the cucumbers and let stand for three days longer. Repeat for the third time. On the ninth day drain and wash the cucum- bers thoroughly. Cover wigi four quar of boiling water in which is dis- solved One level tablespoonful of alum and let stand for half a day. Boil to- ' gether for ten minutes four quarts of vinegar, one tablespoonful of broken stick cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of whole allspice, two tablespoonfuls of whole clove: and four small red pep- pers. Keep one quart of this mixture on the fire and in it cook for ten min- utes as many of the cucumbers as it will cover.

The final decision in regard to the bird law seems to be that the trade can buy and the people wear any of the goods offered in the market. The pub- lic may not have known what many of the manufacturers knew—that many of the high priced feathers supposed to be the feathers of song birds and rare birds almost extinct had graced the homely barnyard fowl originally. The beauty and artistic finish and color are due altothther to the skill and taste of the manufacturer. It may not be agreeable to know that the high priced feather in one' at came from a bird that cackled inste d of warbled, but we feel Impelled to divulge the truth of the homely fact at any cost to soothe the sensibilities of the whilom Audu. bonite.

Tho Hastings Asyinm. J. F. Jackson, secretary of t state board of corrections and cha ties, returned yesterday from a to of the state institutions. Mr. Jac son made an extended visit to t new asylum for the insane at Has lugs, and is highly pleased with t workings of an institution which, its inception, was the subject of muc adverse criticism. The asylum wa completed last spring. Then on hundred male patients, all conaidere incurable, were selected from th twelve hundred at Rochester and r moved to Hastings. At the close of the first season th outdoor treatment introduced at Has ings has proved successful beyon the most sanguine expectations cif i champions. The patients now num ber one hundred and twenty -fou they have profitably cultivated fiv hundred acres. The condition of th patients has been greatly improve by the congenial outdoor exercise impossible to provide at Rocheater Supt. Carmiclutol told Mr. Jackson that the work done by the Hasting patients was fully equal to the stand ard of any farm labor to be hired and that all the work was accom plished under the direction of Ino more overseers than any farm of like size would require. The patients kave been employed profitably also in the construction of outbuildings. One of the surprising features, commented upon by persons familiar with the care of the insane under the hospital system, is the freedom with which the men are allowed to handle tools. A short time ago it was not an uncommon occurrence to send into the field, in care of one overseer, forty patients, each equipped with a corn - knife. During the season there was not a single accideilt resulting from this apparently reckless method of placing dangerous weapons in the hands of insane men. On the con- trary, the men appeared to appreciate and enjoy the confidence reposed in them. Mr. Jackson says that the great success of the smaller asylums at Hastings and Anoka is made pos- sible by the patients' healthful, diverting exercise, and by the fact that, in the smaller institutions, in- mates and superintendent enjoy a closer mutual acquaintance than is obtainable in a hospital containing a thousand or more patients.

How rapid thektndeed, appears Thetrogress o three hundred years. The mighty forest forced to yield Give birth to the cultivated field. His canoe the Indian glides no more Our beauteous lakes and rivers o'er. Nor does his warwhoop loud and shrill Echo from forest vale and hill. No: peaceful hours succeed at last The savage tumult of the past. The church spire rears its form on high. Palatial homes now greet the eye. And glitter,ng domes and marts of trade Arise in place of forest glade. And thriving cities dot the land Connected by an iron band, Where once the Indian wigwam reared_ Its smoky front and disappeared.' - Now plenty with a lavish hand Adorns a free and happy land. So is it now. so may it be, 'Till time shall meet eternity. May the starry flag forever wave The emblem of the good and brave. As a band of brothers may we stand, And say God bless our native land.

President Harrison, in his message to congress, Dec. 8d, 1888, when he took office, said: "Earnest attention ehould be given by congress to a consideration of the question how far the restraint of those conditions of capital commonly called 'trusts' is matter of federal Juris- diction. When organized, as they often are, to crush out all healthy cbmpeti- tion and to monopolize the production or sale of an article of commerce and general necessity, they are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should be made the subject of pro- hibitory and even penal legislation."

OUR IINCII, THE GENERII He Was Very Terrible In War, but Easily Disarmed by a Woman._ i l- I- -1 I '1 Whenever the wi I v, Magda] Mionostary, sent iter son, who w studying law in the residence, h monthly stipend, she always accomp nied it by a closely written eight p letter. What wonder then that whe the occasion really called foieit and t case. was im rtant she should ha senth elder her a mmunic her e t brother co tion which might easily be mistake for a volume, nearly every tenth line whish appealed to him to save the fan ily honor and that immediately an without a moment's delay. "My strength is exhausted and m son is obdurate," pleaded she, "and do not dare say a word, as he imm diately throws out hints apd make threats which mimes my blood ru cold and my heart to stand still. I a anticipating some terrible calamity. I my opinion the best thing to do woul be to talk to the girl herself, only could not do It. as I am nothing but mere woman. With you it is different You, being a man, could do it so mue better than I. The honor of our farm' is at stake, and lay whole trust an confidence are anchored on you." Thus appealed to and the.case bein so urgent the general lost not a mo ment's time. Having consulted a tim table and sent a telegram to hit siste saying, "I am (roving," he left on.th spot. "I shall lit this idyl righ through the center," muttered he twisting the ends of his mustache int _such fierce ends! as if he'intended t sear the idyl on heir t oiuts. T P y P widow, Magdalen Monostary, could no do otherwise than ineets.him at the de pot and, falling on his neck, sob he. soul out ut on his maul bosom. Onth y way home she did nothing but lament "Only a tailor's daughter: Only a tai lor's daughter!" The general made . deprecatory gesture. "All. right, my dear, all right. Console yourself. I am going to see things." s As the carriage rolled along the sin gle street of the little province town the news that the general had arrived spread like wildfire, and at the market square a small boy yelled: "Won't tai- lors get it, though! The general has arrived." _But the prodigal son,'he who jeopardized the family honor. was no- where to be found, as he had left the house early in the morning. "Never mind," said the general, "I have come to see to things with regard to the girl. I do not need him." "Shell I accompany you, Belshaz- zar?" "No, indeed. Women invariably spoil everything. • 1�wii anage without you," -and strai a ramrod he g .5 started on his errs the !dud da 4- ing of his swopcl, which struck the side- walk at every step, until he reached the but in which the tailor patched, and steamed the pants .of the- poorer'; citizens of the town. He was 'followed at a respectful distance by a small. rog- lment of barefoote(L children, who star- ed in awestruck admiration at he bel: ligerent mustache and gold embroider- ed collar and who n'hispered among themselves, "He is going to the tailor's, and be will murder Este with that sa- ber!" The general finally noticed`the crowd of little ragamuffins, and their sight made him furious. He could not very well disperse them, for a general could not so far forget his dignity as to no- tice the children of the rabble, but on reaching his destination he gave the door such a tremendous pull that the tailor, who for the last five minutes had been trying to look dignified, near- ly fell'off the table. The general remained standing on the threshold. He looked the tailor up and down and then down and up and finally thundered in his most military accents, "Aire you the boss?" If the (tailor had dazed to answer truthfully, be would have answered, "Not exact- ly." As it was). however, he answered with humility, "I am, but I hope you will kindly excuse it." - ' The general looked the frail little man over once more and thought with- in himself' "What an acquisition to one's family! Something truly to be proud of!" -. Here the Mrs., who, to'd�i her justice, had much more presence of mind than ..her husband and was lnuch the cooler of the two, offered a chair to the gen- eral, saying, "Won't you accept a sec- tion of our modest little home?" But the general frowned her down and remained standing. "Thank you," said he stiffly, "I have no intention of en as• is a- ge n he ve a- n of 1- d y 1 e- s n d a •h 3, d e r e t O 0 Th t r e R sitting down. I want to speak to your daughter." The girl was probably not unprepar- ed, for she stepped through a half open door and said, "Here I am, general!" Then the general did quite uncon- sciously what so far be had forgotten to do. He saluted, at the same time critically examining, the girl who threatened his family . with a misal- llance. —Detroit Free Press She was slender, but of a majestic figure. She had an exquisite head of ,soft blond hair and magnificent blue eyes suspiciously red around the edges, as it they had shed a good many tears. There was so much dignity about this young girl, who was a schoolteacher, that she seemed entirely out of har- mony with the surroundings heethe fa- ther's hut. The general turned to the tailor and asked In a considerably milder tone of voice, "Is this your daughter?" But the girl opened the door into the sitting room and sah? firmly, "Kindly step this way, general." The next mo - anent the general saw himself alone with her in this scrupulously clean sit- ting room. He took a cha'i'r, while she remained leaning against the mantel. But the general did not remain seated long. He almost Immediately arose again. He walked out of one corner of the room into the other, furiously twirling his mustache. ire looked. right and left and up and down and then became aware that hedid not know how to begin. Finally the girl said, "I thought you wanted to speak to me?" The general struck a martial atti- tude, grabbed his sword and stuttered, "Yes, yes, but ,perhaps you have al- ready guessed what I have come for?" ''I think I hays," faltered the girl. The old general heaved a sigh of re- lief. "In that case," said he, "I have not much more to add. You seem to be a superior sort of a girl and will therefore- understand that this mar- riage is not"— "To be thought of!" the girl managed to finish, with a choking voice. She was as pale as death and her features set end expressionless, but she stocd straight before him and looked square- ly into his eyes. . 'he generlil retreated a step.- He was very much embarrassed and decid- edly uncomfortable. It seemed to him as if he would much rather have been in the thickest of the battle than where he was. An unaccountable feeling akin to fear began weeping over him, and in order to do something and re- lieve the tension he said in a voice of thunder, "My nephew is a good fur nothing, God forsaken reprobate!" Something like a red flame shot into the girl's eyes. "Do not slander him in my presence," said she threateningly. The general was effectively silenced. He felt as if his mission was at an end, and yet he did not want to acknowl- edge himself beaten nor yet leave with- out having made his peace with the girl. He had the need of saying some- thing comforting to the girl without exactly apologizing. He approached her again and said iu a soft, hesitating voice: "Excuse me, my child! I am so sorry!" At the sound of this gentle, appealing voice the outward composure Which the girl had been . keeping up with difficulty completely forsook her, and she broke down. Seizing both the arms of•the general with a>i,iron grasp, she called out in a voice ablaze with passion: "Then why do you want to kill me?' . What has brought you here?

He brought his fist down on the table with such force that everything danced upon it and, run- ning up and down the room, shouted: "Whatever did I come here for? Is this my funeral? Am I a detective or a hangman? Is it my business to per- secute women?}. "Forgive me," stammered the fright- ened girl tearfull! "I did not mean "Forgive you? On the contrary, 1 beg your pandon. What must you think' of me? I am a soldier, not a lawyer, and I shall see that no one mo- lests you. I came to see to things, and I mean to do it, and what I am going to—well, is going to happen?' With this he opened the door leading into the workshop, where the father and the mother of the girl were, and roared with a voice which made the walls shake: "I am asking for the hand of your daughter for my nephew, as she evidently loves the rascal, und_you are not going to say me nay, but you are going te, let her marry him.

A tobacco box was found on the pave- ment, as alleged, by a Kurd. An Ar- menian claimed the box as his owu. Neither would give in, and the dispute waxed warm. From words they were near coming to blows when a police- man came up, but he could not decide the question of ownership. - At last the Armenian suggested tbat the policeman ask what was in the box. "Tobacco and cigarette paper," said the Kurd_promptly. "The box contains nothing but 10 piasters," said the Armenian, smiling. The officer opened the box and, find- ing the Armenian• was right, settled tate dispute by giving him the box. "The Armenian is the owner of the box," he said. "The Kurd is a liar."

That was a magnificent feat per- formed by a French regiment when they were fighting the Austrians. It happened a long time ago, but the inci- dent was marked by such superlative valoethat it will never be forgotten. The regiment, under Colonel Walhu- bert, was sent to take an intrenchment of the 'Austrians in the heights of the Simplon pass, Arriving at the point, they found the enemy solidly Intrench- ed in what appeared to be an impreg- nable position.. In front of their re- doubts and quite separating them from the French force was a deep chasm through which ran a mountain torrent. How to get across was a problem seemingly impossible to ,solve. But the colonel was equal to It. He found a long, straight tree with a trunk almost a foot in thickness. This he ordered to be cut down, and the trunk was ac- tually thrust across the chasm under a galling fire. The colonel gave the word. to pass over—one man at a time. The first was shot and pitched down to death in the chasm. The second and third shared his fate, but presently a feiv succeeded In the desperate at- tempt. Then the colonel followed, formed the little party off the other side aid charged. The enemy, dum- founded at such extraordinary brav- ery, left their position and tied.—Cas- sell's.

Occasionally she would tell him that she wt,hed he was a hero. Onlie foolish man told her that he woulu i.e a hero if he had a chance. "You would'!" she said In tones of incredulity.

Graduated folds are seen as a trim- ming on many of the fall gowns and are a compromise between the plain hem of the traditionally correct empire gown and the billowing frou frou in which women have luxuriated during the past season, according to the New /ork Sun, from which are gleaned the following items of autumn fashions: An absolutely plain skirt, shirred over the hips and finished with\five tuck folds, is a charmingly simple model for a young girl, and with an empire bodice and soft empire sash it makes up a costume that has just the required touch of graceful simplicity. The question of skirts is altnost as puzzling and indefinite just at present. as is the question of sleeves; but, on the whole, the new skirts show less of the prophesied fullness than was expected. The sheer and clinging materials are frequently shirred across the hips and back, but the heavier gowns keep the old clinging curves across the hips and the inverted plait back and rely upon stitched plaits and bands for trimming above -the knees. Yokes of lace, stitch- ed cloth or braiding are used in mod- eration, and in such cases the" sides and back of the skirt are slightly full on the yoke. The most pronounced innovation in skirts is the front panel, which is more and more in evidence. It appears In lace, braiding and embroidery, and as the season advances gowns in two materials are more common, the outer skirt falling over a petticoat front. The overskirts heralded In the early summer have apparently fallen by the way, and for the present at least wom- an is saved from panniers and need not be a Watteau shepherdess unless she really longs for the role. Styles are well within the lines of artistic variety, reflecting the virtues of empire, Louis XV, 1830 and other modes without em - ONE OF THE LATEST ETON& bracing their defects. The princess gown has not come forward so promi- nently as was foretold, although, with modifications, it is often seen. There is no doubt that the bolero is to hold its popularity during the com- ing season, and the Eton also appears to have a long lease of life. Nine - tenths of the smart autumn `tailor gowns already shown have been made !with an Eton or a bolero of some sort, and the larger jacket, save In the Louis XV coats of silk or velvet and in the outside coats, is conspicuous by its ab- sence. A gown of creamy gray cloth has an Eton coat to which .stitched vertical bands of the goods are applied, cross- ing a broad band of guipure and but- toning with small gold buttons, to the stitched band around the bottom of the jacket. Tabs of black velvet, tipped with gold, knot loosely across the chif- fon vest and bold the jacket fronts in place. The covert cloth top coat Is always with us, but three-quarter length and long cloaks seem the prevailing models so far. Aside from the dressy dust cloaks, there are the "l'aiglon" and the raglan, hanging loosely ip front to three-quarter length and fitting more closely in the back, and there are in- numerable half fitting three-quarter coats In biscuit and gray cloth, with braided, embroidered or fur yokes and collars. Small capes have soared into favor again, and three, four or even five lit- tle capes fall over the shoulders of many of the newest coats, broadening the shoulder line in moat desirable Cashion and offering vantage ground for the inevitable stitching, braiding or embroidery. More Shirt Waists. "The confirmed lover of shirt waists will have an orgy in the fall if presen Indications continue," Lays the Ne* York Sun. "All the prophets honored In the fashion world have been de- nouncing the shirt waist, but the dev- otees, like the 'tar baby' of blessed memory, `kep' on sayin nuffin' and bought more shirt waists.

A large hopper Move the door of the firebox re- ceives the dust, whichtis put up in bags —TO pounds to the bag, From this hop- per the powdered coal is jarred down by au automatic shaker to a revolving brush with steel bristles. At the same time currents 'of air are admitted at one side and the top of the brush. Re- volving several hundred times a min- ute, this brush throws the particles of coal into the firebox, where they are in- stantly in a state of combustfen. Damp- ers for'the further admission of air are placed/below the brush. These appliances were placed on ex- tra boilers, the only change necessary being the construction of a front facing of brick about two feet deep. Further tests were made recently, when the other four boilers in the power house, Rich are hand fired, were shut off, a tle two boilers hav- ing the new device were used to ulS- erat e the entire la�t. Bags gs of dust were poured into the hopper as re- quired, and the fire got no othc• atten- tion during the two hours', test except andoccaslonal adjustment of the damp- ers and the feeders. Illinois coal, quoted at $1.40 per ton, was the fuel, and the officials declared that, so far as they could see, it was doing the work as well as the better grades for- merly used. The coal is dumped into a circular pit, where six hammers, each ° striking 100 blows a minute, pound- the mass until it is fine enough to drop through meshes at the. bottom of the pit, It was claimed that a adoption of this arrangement by city would give an easy solution o the garbage problem, as the intense heat would in- stantly consume the rubbish. Experi- ments are being pusheS,to demonstrate whether the system is suitable for use on the road's locomotives. Tests will be made of the apparatus in several of the large smelting works within the next month. John F. Wallace, second assistant vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, declared that the officials of the company were satisfied that the principle of the new invention was cor- rect and that they expected to demon- strate that there was a saving of from 25 to 40 per cent on the same quality of coal. Mr. Wallace said that within the next month he would begin experi- ments, using the front end cinders and the clinkers from -'the' grates as fuel after grinding them. Kills the Song. Clifton Bingham, the author of "In Old Madrid," "Love's Old Sweet Song" and "The Dear Homeland," once said: "The moment a song 1s put 'on the streets,' as we call it, it becomes tre- mendously popular. You hear it every- where. Every rums It as he goes to school. It played in every ,street. But my pybl Sher shakes his head sad- ly when that ay comes. It is general- ly the begin ng of the entl—a Blow which dies away. People get tired of hearing the sattlse song wherever they go, whatever the song may be, and the song of the barrel organ is not wel- come in the drawing room. So that the putting of a song on the street or- gans means a fleeting fame, and then— well, too often an utter elapse_ and complete oblivion."

To the average wine drinker in thyUhited States—that is. the person wii,l is not a connoisseur—the words sherry. sauterne, burgundy, port and chanl- pagre are descriptive of a kind of with.. Without special thought it is taken for granted that these words are generic. And so one often sees ports and sherries and champagnes and bur- gundieseL which armade in the United States, and it never occurs to the av- erage person that there is anything un- fair or deceptive in these names. To the Frenchman, raised in an atmos- phere of wine culture, and to the,//thor- ough student of the subject this prac- tice is most reprehensible. The French- man knows that, properly speaking, a burgundy wine can only come from Burgundy, that a portWine can only come from the districof Oporto, that a champage can only come from the Champagne district and that a sherry can only come from the Spanish dis- trict of Xeres. The character of the wines made injhese various districts is so distinctive and has gained such worldwide reputation that the names of the provinces have come to be used by the general public to this country at least tis descriptive of the character of the wine rather than as descriptive of the place where it is made. So it is that we have American burgundies and American champagnes, American sherries and American sauternes and American St. Julien larets and American Medoc claret and many similar misnomers. r II f 11 Much Sleep Is Needed. Bleep 4 nature's best restorative. The length of time to be given to slum- ber varies in accordance to age. In- fants require at least 16 hours out of the 24; to the age of 4 or 5, about 12 hours, and from 10 to 15, about 10 hours. The most beneficial sleep is that which is taken an hour or two be- fore midnight, says McCall's Maga- zine: Those, of course, whose occupa- tions necessitate their time of rest be- ing somewhat irregular should endeav- or to make up fbr lost sleep, otherwise Nature will have her revenge on an overtaxed brain. A light supper should be taken at least two hours before re- tiring, and the mind ought not to be engaged in deep study just before bed- time, otherwise sleep will be restless and unrefreshing. Heady sleep is one of the greatest promot rs of longevity. Insomnia is very prevalent nowadays, owing to the rush and excitement of modern existence. Su erers from this_ miserable complaint su1d consult a good doctor. Recours i to drugs of which one knows so little 1s to be en- tirely deprecated. The health of°thou- sands has been ruined through the use of narcotics, for most narcotics contain some sort of poison, and their ultimate effect is certain deterioration of the brain power. Bustling Out Stumps. The easiest way to get rid of stumps in field or meadow is to burn them out. Dig a trench around the stumps out ,Iwo feet wide and two and a hal ,three feet deep, cut off all projecting roots quite close and remove the soil as well as possible. Then leave the stump for a few days to dr'. Gather up a lot of dry sticks, brush, etc., and fill up the trench all around and on top of the stump and set it on fire. The stump will be consumed in a day or two. Even green stumps may be burn- ed out in this way, although it may re- t quire a second or third supply of dry t sticks on the fire to accomplish it.— it Contributor American Agriculturist. fO f No other aid so great to the housewife, no other aged so useful and certain in making delicious, pure and wholesome foods, has ever been devised. pt0 There are imitation baking powders, sold cheap, by many grocers.'

A Noiseless Ring Game. i The Crir a of saeesing. In tL . time of that bluff sailor king j R illiarm IV the then Duke of Norfolk was i ed to as "something of a boor". t.ad only for sneezing violently at a state banquet when the kitMwas present. Sir F. Hastings Doyle in his auto- biography relates how, even in the fifties, Lord Halifa* was walking with Lord Dundas when the latter suddenly began to make hideous faces to such a degree/that Lord Halifax became seri ously alarmed and gaspekout, "Shall I run for the doctor?" Lor Dundas gave a peremptory "No" as far as he was able. When he bad revered from the paroxysm, he said: "I was only in the agonies of trying not to sneeze/ The awful court etiquette in regard to this matter hip made me really i11 many a tiipe. Nowadays I cannot from long habit really sneeze; but the sensation that bripgs about sneezing simply agonizes inc. And I know many elderly ge tleiiien who suffer the same." The same rule applied and still ap- plies in some cases in an even greater degree on the continent. The late czar of Russia once hazarded the opinion that a certain distinguished English- man was "much wanting in polish and good manners" because he, poor man, sneezed at a Russian court reception. Even the late Napoleon II1, free and easy as was his court in certain mat- ters, looked upon sneezing in his pres- ence as a great liberty.—London An- swers. Ott The Guide Had His Way. A. Phelps «'hitlfi'arsh gives in The Outlook an experience with Filipino guides and the sequel to attempting to have one's way with them, especially when that way involves an expendi- ture of energy. The travelers were de- termined to ascend a certain mountain. As we climbed higher and -higher the old fellow who was leading us grew uncertain about the trail. At last he halted and spoke to another guide in their own tongue. "Senores," inter- preted Simeon, "there is no water high- er up on the mountain." This was evidently a ruse to prevent us from going any farther. So we told him we did not want any water and ordered him to go on. "Senores," he said a little tater,3-the carriers are exhausted. They cannot travel any more today." "Tell the carriers that unless they follow us we shall go on without them and pay them nothing." "Senores, the path is lost." "Well, let the guide find It again." "He canaot, senor. He does not know the mountain above this. He expected to find a Negrito to show the way." "Go on, anyway," "But where, sector?" ..Upe After an hour or so of progress so slow that we scarcely seemed to be moving at all we were well scratched, pricked, torn and angered. Then we gave it up. The smiling guide had beaten Ils, Her Opinion. "You see," said the heiress confiden- tially, "my father -likes the count very much. But be is afraid the dear boy is inclined to be careless about money matters. What do you think about it?" "The fact that he has proposed to you," said Miss Cayenne thoughtfully, "might possibly be taken as very good .evidence to the contrary."—Washing- ton Star. 43 IIe IN the Gayest Fellow In the World Under Difficulties, The Irish peasant is still, thank heaven, what Sir Walter Scott called him after the visit of the great novelist to Ireland in the early thirties—he is still "the gayest fellow, in the world under difficulties and afflictions." He has a cheerful way of regarding cir which to others would be most unpleasant and disheartening. A peasant met with an accident which resulted in a broken leg. The neigh- b4rs of course commiserated "Arrah," he remark€d, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eye as he regarded the bandaged limb, "what a blessing it is that it wasn't me neck." Yes, the irrepressible Irishman has a yoke for every occasion. Two ctluntry- men who had not secon each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Shure it's married I am," said O'Brien. "You don't `tell me so!" said Blake. "Faith, yes," said O'Brien, "an I've got a fide, healthy bhoy which the neighbors say is the very picter of me." Blake looked for a moment at O'Brien, who was not, to say the least, remarkable for his good looks, and then said, "Och, well, what's the harrufn so long as the child's healthy?" And yet a peasant to whom a witticism t tis spontaneous- ly springs maybe very s mple minded. The peasants' pas on for rhetoric still induces them to om it to memo- ry imposing polysyllat� Nvliich they often misapply, with the most amusing and grotesque results. rheard a nurse- maid exclaim at a crying, child in her arms, "Well, of all the ecclesiastical children 1 ever met you're wan of thim."

Kicked on the Story. Probably most writers of serial sto- ries are familiar with the sensation of receiving letters of commendation or disapproval from interested readers who are following up the stories as they appear in their regular weekly or monthly installments. Occasionally some curious person asks for private information as to what the outcome is to be, while others offer suggestions as to the disposition', to be made of the villain or express a fear that the au- thor is to marry the hero to the wrong M701412.lie writer of a serial story in one of the opular magazines a few years ago received the following letter from an indignant reader. The names are changed for obvious reasons: Dear Sir—I take the liberty of telling you that I regard your "Simeon Stacy," now running through The Blank Magazine, as a little the thin. nest novel 1 have read. Furthermore, the prin- cipal character in the story, to whom you give he title role, so to speak, is so thoroughly de- estable a man that I have taken the most ef- ctive means in my power to show my contempt r him by changing my name—which happened to be the same as his—to something as unlike it possible. Yours truly, ANDREW Jecossov, Formerly Simeon Stacy. Youth's Companion. The shall rubber rii.gs that are used in every household with which to seal preserve jars may be made the means of much amusement when a lively game is desired for the anitusement of friends. First obtain a smooth head of a flour or sugar barrel and see that the pieces are all fastened together, form- ing acircular board, or alp smooth r- board about a square foot in size will serve the purpose. Procure ten coat hooks of medium size and secure them into the board and mark above each hook its number, ranging from No. 1 to No. 10. A hole may be made in the upper end of the board or a screw eye inserted by which to hang it upon a nail in the wall. No.a10 is a sort of a '"bullseye," and each playerrhaving thilee of the rubber rings, takes turns in (throwing them from a position about, ten feet away, endeavoring to "hook" las many on the board as possible. A ,score is kept of the points gained by -each player, the one first getting 100 'points being the winner. However, exactly 100 points thust be made. For instance, if a play- er has 99 he hassto work for "hook No. 1," as any other hook would carry him over the nark. This difficulty adds to the interest of the game. An advantage of the game is,that no noise is made nor damage done by the rings, and it may be improvisediby any boy or girl.—New York Sun. as Companies That Lay Cables, The cable companies as a rule do not. — lay their own cables, althoughy have large and well equipped steamers with which to make repairs.

Insures Clroalineu by Constant Flow of Fresh Water. Members of both the beard of edu- cation and the board of health are dis- cussing a m w drinking cup for use In the Atlanta public schools. It is rep- rc.••ented as L: -;ng the most sanitary fir:acing utensil that has yet been in- vented. A p;etnre of the new cup is rcproeltced herewith from the Atlanta Constitution. The cup is stationary and rests over a basin which catches the overflow. s SANITARY DRINKING FOUNTAIN. The water comes direct from the pipes to the cup and is allowed to t tin as long as desired. The flow is controlled by a fauvet just above the basin. It is proposed to allow the water to run Into this cup during school hours. There Is a constant flow over the sides of the eup, preventing contamination of any kind. Sticks, seeds or any- thing else not too heavy is thrown from the cup by the force of the wa- ter. The edges can never be contami- nated by diseased mouths because of the constant flow. In drinking the mouth is placed to the cup without moving the contrivance. In addition to Its other advantages the cup is believed to be especially adapted to southern schools because ice cannot be pls,ced in the water which the children drink. The water Is cool- ed by means of a coil of pipe around which ice 1s packed, the action being much like that of a condensing worm in a still. Extravagance of the Poor, In his principles of economics Pro- fessor Marshall says that perhaps, $500,000,000 annually is spent by the working classes and $2,000,000,000 by the rest of the population of England in ways that do little or nothing to- ward making life nobler or trulyhap- pier. The presidential address 'before the economic section of the Britisb_es- sociation at its recent Bradford meet- ing by Henry Higgins was devoted to proving the above statement by point- ing out the many ways -in which, large- ly through ignorance, the working classes absolutely throw money away. The simple item of food waste alone LI almost enough, according to Mr. Hig- gins, to justify the above figures. The women do net know how ,to -buy eco- nomically, and owing to the large num- ber who are now practically "brought up" in factories very few of them ars passable cooks or even good housekeep- ers. Housekeeping of even the hum- bler sort is an art. To know what is the ebeapest food from the point of view of contained nutriment, how to cook It to the best advantage and bow not to have any waste does not coma to a woman by intuition. As Mr. H1g. gins says, 1f more knowledge and time were devoted to the teaching ot cook- ing in our schools the meals of moat families would be more varied, more appetizing and nutritious and mucb more economical. Mr. Atkinson has estimated that the waste of food in the United States from bad cooking alone is over $2,000,000,000 a year. In speak. Ing of expensive habits, such as lIquot drinking and smoking, Mr. Higgins re- fers to the latteee� as the most econom- ical of recreation's. "How else, for in- stance, could the Harz miner give himself an agreeable sensation a thou- sand times a year at so low a cost as $2? But nobody," he continues, "would wish to see a freeman using his tobac- co as the Russian peasants described to me by Prince Krapotkin, who first chewed it, then, dried and smoked It and finally used the ashes as snuff." The time may not be far distant, Mr. Higgins suggests, when In large indus- trial towns -the entire preparation of meals will be in the hands of special. ists, just as the originally domestic op eratiorlt}s of baking and brewing now are:=New York Times.

S2 pee Tear 11 ant in Ad Aimee FOR LITTLE FOLKS. Sparrows and Cora Thieves. Near the village of Half Day, Ills., lives a one armed man named Lester Mowers, who has n large field of corn. Mr. Mowers' corn had scarcely ap- peared above the ground when a baud of crows swoop ,I down upon it. They hopped gleefully up and down the rows, pulling up the delicate green blades with their beaks and eating the seed kernel that still clung to the corn. Mr. Mower set a scarecrow in the field, but these crows were evidently old bands at robbery, . for they utterly dis regarded the raged sentinel. Then he tried shooting at them, but a one arm- ed roan is not half as quick as a crow, and he failed to kill or cripple a single one. They would fly clumsily away at each shot, Jeering and "haw -hawing" in derision, returning as soon as he had left the field. Finally a colony of sparrows came and start to build nests in a thicket near the orn. Hardly had the small couples ade their summer house- keeping arrangements before they be- gan to drive the crows away. Every black robber who came into the field was set upon and pecked vigorously, the sparrows following him a quarter of a mile to administer punishment thoroughly. In a week a visit from a crow was a rarity. Mr. Mowers re- planted bis corn, and now throws a handful of bread crumbs to the spar- rows each morning. /,..

The shell is 21 feet long, 8 inches wide and weighs about 19 poun4 The sculls are only a foot shorter than the regula- tion man's size.

A queer Alaskan Fish, In Alaska there is a queer fish that can be used as a candle when dried. The tail of the fish is stuck in a crack of a wooden table and its nose lighted. A good sized flame will burn about three hours. It gives a good, steady light of three candle power and con- siderable beat. The reason that fish are slimy is to protect them from a certain fungus: a form of 4ant life that is found in all waters. Should a fish be so injured that a spot is no longer covered with slime the fungus lodges there and grows until it eventually kills the fish. Slime also increases the speed of fish through the water. The whale is the only fish that bas a brain larger than a men's. We think tie machinery of the human body is vary wonderful, with its many bones, but few people know that every time a fish breathes it moves 4,888 bones and muscles. Nearly Tea.

That the Unitdd States got so large a percgtage shows that the Frenchmen were surelyfair in their judgment. Had it not been for the unfortunate practice .of American winemakers of labeling their wines with French names the percentage of awards would have been much higher. As it was,,* number of the very best wines made in the United States were excluded from the awards by reason of these imitation names. To the average wine drinker In the United States—that is, the person ell.) is not a connoisseur—the words sherry, sauterne, burgundy, port and chani- pagre are descriptive of a kind of wine.. Without special thought it is taken for granted that these words are generic. And so one often sees ports and sherries and champagnes and bur- gundies which are made in the United States, and it never occurs to the av- erage person that there is anything un- fair or deceptive In these names. To the Frenchman, 'raised In 'an atmos- phere of wine culture, and to the thor- ough student of the subject this prac- tice is moat reprehensible. The French- man knows that, properly speaking, a burgundy wine can only come from Burgundy, that a port wine can only come from the district of Oporto, tint a champagne can only come from the Champagne district and that a sherry can only come from the Spanish dis- trict of Xeres. The character of the wines made in these various districts is so distinctive and has gained such worldwide reputation that the names of the provinces have come to be used by the general public In this country at least as descriptive of the character of the wine rather than as descriptive of the place where it Is made. So it Is that we have American burgundies end American champagnes, American sherries and American sauternes and American St. Julien clarets and American Medoc clarets and many similar misnomers. I t i 1prthecoaldays. making t of coal dust. Two boilers at the railroad's Four- FREDER FOR POWDERED COAL. Ing to the Chicago Record. A large hopper above the door of the firebox re- ceives the dust, which is put up in bags —70 pounds to the bag. From this hop- per the powdered coal is jarred down by an automatic shaker to a revolving brush with steel bristles. At the same time currents of air are admitted at one side and the top of the brush. Re- volving several hundred times a min- ute, this brush throws the particles of coal into the firebox, where they are in- stantly in a state of combustion. Damp- ers for the further admission of air are placed below the brush. Thebe appliances were placed on ex- tra boilers, the only change necessary being the construction of a front facing of brick about two feet deep. Further tests were made recently, when the other four boilers in the power house, which are hand fired, were shut off, and the two boilers hav- ing the new devices were used to off crate the entire plant. Bags of dust were poured into the hopper as re- quired, and the fire got no other atten- tion during the two hours' test except an occasional adjustment of the damp- ers and the feeders. Illinois coal, quoted at $1.40 per ton, was the fuel, and the officials declared that, so far as they could see, it was doing the work as well as the better grades for- merly used. The coal is dumped into a circular pit, where six hammers, each striking 100 blows a minute, pound the mass until it is fine enough to drop through meshes at the bottom of the pit. It was claimed that the adoption of this arrangement by the city would give an easy solution of the garbage problem, as the intense heat would in- stantly consume the rubbish. Experi- ments are being pushed to demonstrate whether the system is suitable for use on the road's locomotives. Tests will be made of the apparatus in several of the large smelting works within the next month. John F. Wallace, second assistant vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, declared that the officials of the company were satisfied that the principle of the new invention was cor- rect and that they expected to demon- strate that there was a saving of from 25 to 40 per cent on the same quality of coal. Mr. Wallace said that within the next month he would begin experi- ments, using the front end cinders and the clinkers from the grates as fuel atter grinding them. Kills the Song. Clifton Binghamt the author of "In Old Madrid," "Love's Old Sweet Song" and "The Dear Homeland," once said: "The moment a song la put 'on the streets,' as we call It, 1t becomes tre- mendously popular. You hear it every- where. Every boy bums it as he goes to school. It is played in every street. But my publisher shakes his head sad- ly when that day comes. It Is general- ly the beginning of the end --a Boom which dies away. People get tired of bearing the same song wherever they go, whatever the song may be, and the along of the barrel organ is not wel- eome in- the drawing room. So Oat the putting of a song on the street or - gads means a fleeting fame, and then -- well, too often an utter. relapse and complete oblivion."

In- fants require at least 16 hours out of the 24; to the age of 4 or 5, about 12 hours, and from 10 to 15, about 10 hours. The most beneficial sleep is that which is taken an hour or two be- fore midnight, says McCall's Maga- zine. Those, of course, whose occupa- tions necessitate their time of rest be- ing somewhat irregular should endeav- or to make up for lost sleep, otherwise Nature will have her revenge on an overtaxed brain. A light supper should be taken at least two hours. before re- tiring, and the mind ought not to be engaged in deep study just before bed- time, otherwise sleep will be restless. and unrefreshing. Healthy sleep is one of the greatest promoters of longevity. Insomnia is very prevalent nowadays, owing to the rush and excitement of modern existence. Sufferers from this miserable complaint should consult a good doctor. Recourse to drugs of which one knows so little is to be en- i tlrely deprecated. The health of;thou- sands has been ruined through the use of narcotics. for most narcotics contain some sort of poison, and their ultimate effect is certain deterioration of the brain power. Nursing Out Stump.. The easiest way to get rid of stumps in field or meadow is to burn them out. Dig a trench around the stumps about two feet wide and two and a half or three feet deep, cut off all projecting roots quite close• and remove the roll as well as possible. Then leave the stump for a few days to dry. Gather up a lot of dry sticks, brush, etc., and fill up the trench all around and on tap of the stump and set it on fire. The stump will be consumed in a day or two. Even green stumps may be burn- ed out in this way, although- it ugly re- quire a second or third supply of dry sticks on the fire to accompliatt.— Contributor American Agricnitnriet.

ROYAL' BAKING POWDER CO, iooW1U.IAM ST. NEW YQSN. THE IRISH PEASANT. ire Is the gayest Fellow Ia the *arid 'binder Difficulties. The Irish peasant is still, thank heaven, what Sir Walter Scott called him after the visit of the great novelist to Ireland in the early thirties—le is still "the gayest fellow in the world under difficulties and afflictions." He has a cheerful way of regarding cir- cumstances which to others would be most unpleasant and disheartening. A peasant met with an accident which resulted in a broken leg. The neigh- bors of course commiserated him. "Arrah," he remarked, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eye as he regarded ; the bandaged limb, "wilat a blessing it . ; A Noiseless Ring Grine.

Procure ten Goat hooks of medium Isize and secure them into the board and mark above` each hook its number, ranging from No. 1 to No. 10. A hole may be made in the upper end of the board or a screw eye inserted by which to hang it upon a nail in the wall. No. 10 is a sort of a '"bullseye," and each player, having time of the rubber rings, takes turns int throwing them from a position abouti ten feet away, endeavoring to "hook" las many on the board as possible. A ,score is kept of the points gained by each player, the one first ,getting 100 points being the winner. However, exactly 100 points must be made. For instance, if a play- er has 09 he hasito work for gook No. 1," as any otherjhook would carry him over the mark. This difficulty 'adds to the interest of the game. An advantage of the game is'that no noise is made nor damage done, by the rings, and it may be improvisedlby any boy or girl.—New York Sun. s that it wasn't me neck. Yes, the irrepressible Irishman has a joke for every occasion. Two chuntry- men who --shad not sedn each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Shure it's married I am," said O'Brien. "You don't tell me so!" said Blake. "Faith, yes," said O'Brien, "an I've got a fine, healthy bhoy which the neighbors say is the very picter of me." Blake looked for a moment at O'Brien, who was not, to say the least, remarkable for his , good looks, and then said, "Ooh, well, what's the harrum so long as the. child's healthy?" And yet a peasant to whom a witticism thus spontaneous- ly springs may be very simple minded. The peasants' passion for rhetoric still induces them to commit to memo- ry imposing polysyllables which they often misapply, with the most amusing and grotesque results.

Probably most writersof serial sto- ries are familiar with the sensation of receiving letters of commendation or disapproval interested readers who are fo owing up the stories u they ap In their regular weekly or monthly installments. Occasionally some curious person asks for private information as to what the outcome Is to be, while otberll offer suggestions as to the disposition to be made of the villain or express a tear that the au- thor is. to marry the hero to the 'wrong woman. The writer of a serial story In one of the popular magazines a few years ago received the following letter from an indignant reader.

The common crows are blue, the oxen have blimps. It is a new life in a new world. In describing the native` life he gives this &tory of their indifference to punishment: A simple ryot the other day had said 1 goodby to his relatives and was pinion- ed, when suddenly he asked to speak again to his brother. "Recollect," he said; "it's 20 kawa Burs of barley that man owes me, not dawa sura," which are smaller. Then he turned and was hanged without moving a muscle. Another man, a Pathan, . was being hanged, when the rope broke. The warder bade him go up on to the scaf- fold again, but he objected, "No," he said; "I was sentenced ' to be hanged, and bagged I've been$" "Not so. fiend." argued the warder, "Ton were sentenced to be banged un- til yon were dead, and you're not dead?'

In th . time of that bluff sailor king 'William TV the then Duke of Norfolk was 1 • ed to as "something of a, boor" t. -ad only for sneezing violently at a state banquet when the kine was present. Sir F. Hastings Doyle in his auto- biography relates how, even in the fifties, Lord Halifax was walking with Lord Dundas when the latter suddenly began to make hideous faces to such a degree that Lord Halifax became seri- ously alarmed and gasped out, "Shall I run for the doctor?" Lord Dundas gave a peremptory "No" as tar as he was able. When he had recovered from the paroxysm, he said: "I was only in the agonies of trying not to sueese. The awful court etiquette in regard to this matter help made me really ill many a time. Nowadays I cannot from long habit really sneeze, but .the sensation that brings about sneezing simply agonizes me. And I know many elderly gentlemen who suffer the same." The same rule applied and still ap- plies in some cases in an even greater degree on the continent.. The late czar of Russia once hazarded the opinion that a certain - distinguished English- man was "much wanting in polish and good manners" because he. poor man, sneezed at a Russian court reception. Even the late Napoleon III. free and easy as was his court in certain- mat- ters, looked upon sneezing in his pres- ence as a ghat liberty.—London An- swers. The Guide Had His Way. A.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY OCTOBER .27th, 1900. There is danger of many votes being lost this yea for railroad and warehouse commissioner, owing to the manner in which the white bal- ` lots are printed. There are six can- didates named for four years and three for two years, with the legend in the margin vote for three. The two terms should have been separa- ted. If a man votes for three of the four years or for one of the four years and two of the two years his vote for that'otllce cannot be counted, being an excess. The instructions should read vote fortwq.of the four years and one of the two years. 'There will be considerable splitting on the four year candidates, which increases the chances for error. A competitive examination will be held at Northfield, Nov. 15th, for the appointment of a cadet to the United States naval academy at Annapolis. Candidates most be residents of .the third congressional district, between the ages of fifteen and twenty, physi- cally sound, well formed, and of robust constitution. The subjects in- volved are reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar, geography, history, arithmetic, algebra, and plane geometry. Dakota County is the thirtieth senatorial district, entitled to one senator and two representatives. The Senator is elected for a term of four years, the metnbdrs of the house for two.

Each has an average of one hundred and seven inmates. If there is a full vote out Nov. 6th a considerable portion of the repub- lican ticket in this county will be elected. It is the stay-at-homes that renders the matter a little uncertain. A serious fire occurred in Min- neieska, on Wednesday, nearly the • whole of the business portion of the village being burned.

Mrs. ij Wakeman believes that Hastings is admirably situated to become a point for the shipping of milk to the twin n cities. ' She proposes to deviate 'her s place, which is less than a mile from e the courthouse, exclusively to dairy products and fruit, and has built a barn, and proposes to have her herd and milk cared for on the lines indi- cated by Prof. 1'. L. Meeker, of the e Agricultural Experiment Station of the state university. Mrs. Wakeman O has arranged to ship from twenty to • thirty gallons of milk daily. Mr. e Amaziah Bacon co-operates with her in the conduct of the farm. Although this is a somewhat un- g usual innovation for a woman in this part of the county, "personally con- i ducrtetl" farms are a profitable fad of e eastern women.

One of his most active supporters was W. C. King, member of the congressional committee and the present postmaster. In some way the Case Company learned of the probability of his appointment, and gave him a choice of territory and raised his salary to a point where he felt he could not afford to make the change. Mr. King having been his most active supporter he then turned his influence to that gentleman. His name was next -mentioned in connec- tion with the superintendency of the insane. asylum at Hastings, and lie undoubtedly would have 'been ap- pointed had the matter been kept out of pal tisan politics.

McKelvy, candidate for superintendent'of schools, is so well known to our ,readers that we are un- able to furnish then any special in- formation in regard to him. It is conceded by all citizens familiar with his work that he is a success- ful teacher and superintendent. He has spent eighteen years in`this coun- ty as common school teacher, princi- pal in graded school, and county superintendent. He was educated and trained in our state high schools and normal schools, and is known throughout the state as one of her leading educators. During the past two years he lies hero special repre- sentative and ,managing, . editor. of School Education, the leading educa- tional journal of the northwest, which gave him an opportunity to visit Many of the schools, non -nal schools, teachers' training schools, and col- leges in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba. Mr. McKelvy wa nppointed�super- intendent of school f this county in 1890 by the state high school board, under a special law which re- quired candidates for the position to take examination before the state exa ining board. We feel that the voters of Dakota County who are in- terested in our public schools will cast their ballots for Mr. McKelvy for superintendent.

The barn belonging to Joseph Cavanaugh, on Fourth Street, was burned Friday night, between twelve and one o'clock, the origin being un- known. It was eighty by forty, two stories high, and built by the late John Dudley some years ago. A small ice -house, hennery, and well - house were also burned, nothing but a pair of horses being saved. The contents were a cutter, sleigh, a quantity of feed, straw, fifteen tons of timothy and clover belonging to Mr. Cavanaugh, and six tons of wild ,hay to Doten Bros. The lumber shed of the St. Croix Lumber Co. to the west was badly scorched, and a quantity of flooring and finishing material more or less damaged by ,water.

Manufacturers gird their immediate customers are beginning to get them- selves in shape for the dull times that they know' would ensue in the event of the election of Mr. Bryan. Reports from all over the country indicate that "Bryan" clauses are soon to be the rule in signing new contracts. The latest is a contract ente,,red into 'be- tween the New Haven Carriage com- pany and the J. Curley company of Brooklyn. The contract specifies that the New Haven company shall furnish the Curley company with a certain number of carriages at a certain price until Nov. 15, 1901. With- the contract received by the Curley company was the following ' letter from the New Haven company:,� "We enclose herljn agreements sign- ed. You will notice that 'we have made an indorsement at the bottom. Will you please indorse this yourself? It is Just as good policy for you to indorse it pe it is for us, for you do net wish to be bilund down by anything in cgse of such adverse circumstances as would occur in. the event of Bryan's election." The indorsement reads: "This agreement to be null and void in case William J. Bryan is elected president of the United States in No- vember, 1900." Other large concerns are indorsing important contracts in this way, their managers well knowing that a long season of business depression would follow the success' of the Democratic ticket. A large Philadelphia dry goods house in placing contracts abroad in- sists that the contracts be similarly in- dorsed. The business men know what four years of Bryanism would mean to them, and the working people are equally aware of the fact. If these classes are not prosperous they will be unable to consume as much of the products of the farm as they would in the event of Republican success, and 4 the farmer knows the value of having an era of prosperity among those who eat and wear his products. YrfePtiniey Favors Arbitration. While still in the house of represent- atives, Mr. McKinley, on April Ed, 1886, said: "1 betfeve, 'Mr. Chairman, in arbitra- tion as a principle. I Tbelieve it should prevail in the settlement of iliternation- al difficulties. It represents a higer civilization than the abitrament of war. I believe it is in accord with the best thought and sentiment of man- kind; I believe it is tate true way of settling differences betW4en labor and capita`; I believe it will bring them both to a better understanding, uniting them closer in interest and promoting better relations, avoiding force, avoid- ing unjust exactions and oppressions, avoiding disturbanoes of trade and transportation: acid if this house oal)n contribute in the smtllI55t measure, by legislative expression or otllarwise, to the ends, it will deserve Mid receive the gratitude of all men who love peace, good order, justice and fair play." These who are attacking Mr. McKin- ley as indifferent to labor must have blinded themselves to his record. Rates or Advertising.

Mr. 14tle is a candidate for representa- tive in ;this county, and is Making a vigorous, persistent canvass. He was born in 1858, educated in Kylepark National .-.$ehool, County Tipperary, Ireland, and took a course in the Academ- ical College, Belfast, and Cozy Lodge, Dublin. He came to America in 1881 and to South St. Paul in 1889, and has been in business therd sinceAthat ttm A partnership was formed with W. b Raeburn in 1895 for the handling of cattle. their specialty being mulch cows. They cernduct an exchange rft South St. Paul, occupying a barn one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet, and have another at Minnesota Transfer. Mr. Lytle's first appearance in politics was as the citizen's candidate for mayor of South St. Paul, and he was elected against a' strong combination and heavy odds. The people believed in him, and his official record clearly proves that their faith was well founded. Since becoming mayor the bond difficulty has been straightened out, a number of valuable public improvements made at, his sugges- t1 , and others are in contemplation. This is an indication of good timber out of which to make an efficient member of the legislature. Furthermore he is a republican, and naturally will have vast- ly more influence in a republican legis- lature than a member of the minority party. This one of tie reasons why Mr' Staples was uniformly� successful in thea measures which he al`vocated,particularly' the asylum matters in which our people are still vitally interested. He is a member of the Workmen, Modern Woodmen, United Foresters, Odd Fellows, and several other societies, which gives him a large frater- nal acquaintance among our very best citizens. If elected the people of Dakota County will have an able, conservative, and painstaking representative at the state capitol. Mr: and Mrs. Wilford Eggleston Mr. and Mrs. Smith Eggleston, and Mr. and Mrs. P. J.- Brownson, of St. Paul, were in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. B. 11.

The -attitude of the two, old Mends was for once not at all friendly. "Bring some ice,".said the admiral. "Certainly, sir." . The general limped to the door, pur- ple as to his cheeks.

''If your son," he said, "presumes to accost my daugh- ter in public again, I'll ho-sewhip him, sir -horsewhip him 911 the parade or off it -and 'tell him what I think of him." -Gad," said the admiral as if he had heard a very good joke, "what a capi- tal show you'd make, the two of you, at that game!

"Well," 4,Q/said calmly, "you've given me a good deal in the course of the last 15 minutes. Suppose now you give me my bat." The general started as if he had been pricked and glanced at the hat in his hand. Jost then the waiter appeared with the ice. "Take that hat to the gentleman yon- der," said the general. The 'waiter seemed more perplexed than before. He said, "Certainly, gen- eral," yet stared. The admiral took his hat, smiled with the utmost sweetness, considering what a bronzed and wrinkled old fel- low he was, and observed: "The ice is Sot for me. General Green is rather warm. Take it to him." But the general hurried from the loom, with growls that would have done credit to 13. small menagerie. "All sight, John," then said Admiral Brown!, "I'll have it and some whisky and a 'cigar." He slung hitnself into the easy chair nearest the window and became grave. He grew more grave RA he watched his old friend totter down the club steps and across the road to the Victoria gardens, shaking his head as if he were somewhat palsified. "Poor old Green!" he said, with real tenderness. "He's certainly not the wan he was a year ago." He was still musing, not altogether gayly -for he, too, was in the sixties -when the door opened and a handsome young fellow entered. "Thought I'd find you here," he be- gan, but he broke off, with a "Hello! What's the matter?" Admiral Brown had jumped to his feet, and there was neither sweetness, - nor light in his eyes now. He faced his son with squared chest and clinch- ed hands. "Now, then, sir," he cried. "I've a I ter tough _bone to pick with you. What I b the dickens do you mean by kissing a Helen Green in a public place? Do you know what you've done, sir? You've" - But Erie Brown's face arrested the further flow of hls father's rhetoric. It was grinning in the coolest imagitea- ble manner. Not a particle of shame on it, either. "Why, hang it all, dad," he said blandly, "she asked me to." "Asked you to?" "Point blank.

There was a woman's statue under a stone canopy in the temple. The woman's name was Hygeia. The general was still exceedingly irate, and there were latent feelings ot' remorse In him which increased his auger. "What the mischief has that to do with it if we have been friends for fiv and forty years?" he was asking himself, while lie wiped his forehrad vith a large sulphur colored silk hand- kerchief. Then he turned, for Admiral Brown had addressed him as Genrral Green. "It's my go now," said the admiral. "I have done with you, sir!" exclaim- ed the general pettishly. "I wish to hold no further communication with you, even by letter." "Dare say," said the admiral. "You brought an accosation against my boy ust now.

The young woman who ould deliberately sacrifice her own haracter and compromise that of one oung man in order to insult her fiance an be no great catch for any one." The general's hands began to shake; iso his head. There was a lackluster ook in his eyes as he fastened them pon Admiral Brown, and his breath - ng was very rapid. "Well, what does he say, this fellow, Beach? What's he going to do?" pro- ceeded the admiral. "Do, sir? He says he has half a mind ot to have anything more to say to err The general shot out these words s if they were his ultimate degrade - OIL "Bravo, Beach! Gre.en, I'm really orry for you. If you feel like your' elf again and will take me on at pi- uet tonight. as usual, I tell you what 11 do.

Was It a rib?" asked the ad- iral, with real concern. The general winked fast and lofted ery angry indeed. Never yet had his orset thus betrayed him. But dis- action was in sight in the shape of is daughter. The girl was coming long the pine walk. -with her pug dog 8 held by A string. She looked as grace- ful as the Lady Hygela herself, and her pale pink dress was quite as be- comiug as the statue's somewhat in- complete -attire. "There she Is! Now we'll get at the truth!" said the general -"that is," he added pompously, "my statements will receive the corroboration which 5, for one, do not require." The admiral hastily took seuff. "She's a neat little craft, Green." he 'murmur- ed, "but I'm afraid she doesu't-eteer true. However" - The two veterans stumped tortvard Helves, whose face lit up with smiles. They did not see Master Eric in their background. The smiles were largely for him, though her greeting of the ad- miral was warm enough to astonish tliat old man. "I -I'll beg to be excused. Miss Green!" said Admiral Brown. "Your father" - "Merely desises a plain answer to an insulting question, my dear: put in the general testily. "Papa!" exclaimed the girl. But her astonishment was lost upon the gener- al. for Eric Brown was ItoW at hand with a telegram. "I thought I'd4tring It on," he said. "My father said you, were here. It came the moment you left, dad." The general snatched the envelope from Eric, giving hint a look that would have been alarming if it had not been so grotesque. The message was from Sir TitusOteach: This to say goodby. Under the circumstances don't expect to be in Englesl again for ca year or two. Hope yon Understand. Sorry." Adnilral Brown's face relaxed into a comfortable smile as he viewed Helena Grre.en. He forgot his grievance against he "The impudent rascal; the lyiug, knockkneed little upstart!" cried the general. "Father, dear!" protested his (laugh- ter. "I'll be 'cleared' by no one, miss." continued the irascible old man. "'Pon nly word, I'll not be answerable for my senseS! Here's one fellow charg- ing you with making that young man kiss you in public. and" - "It is true. papa," said Helena Green In a whisper. Her cheeks were as pink as her dress. but her mouth and eyes were steady. "True! You d151, did you?" "Take hini to a seat. Eric." said Ad- miral Brown quietly. The old warrior had collapsed and *as held up apparently by his daugh- ter at one side and Erie Brown at the other. He allowed them to guide iihn to a bench, where he breathed in heavy gasps.

The wedding dress, the all im- portant item, receives an illustration In a wonderful confection, the train be- ing formed of a voluminous old lace shawl, the underdress entirely of nar- row plaits of chiffon, with a lace frill round the yoke of a simple bodice of plaiting drawn into a folded belt of 'MOOING DRESS satin, with silver tags upon the ends.

An expert describes as follows the whole process of manicuring, so that those who cannot pay regular visits to a professional may know how to per- form this Interesting operation for themselves: The finger tips must first be immersed for a few, minutes in a bowl of hot lather made from a pure toilet soap. This is to soften the nail and the cuticle surrounding its base. This cuticle, or thin, tough skin, is fre- quently allowed by those who neglett the dainty care of the hands and nails to grow up over the matrix and thus hide from view the pretty white half moon, or "lunula," which in. all well kept nails is to be plainly discerned. As soon as the,ekin has become nice ly softened the:fingers are taken out of the qoap solution and gently dried with a soft towel. They are now ready for the operation of the cuticle k wife. This must be used with the greatest delicacy, care being taken not to serateh the nail In any way. Th.. point of the knife should be gently passed under the edge of the skin. loosening it from the nail. The supertinous membrane or cuticle should now be cut away with the cuticle scissors. These are made long and slender, with tietteti- fully curved points. Ordinary scissors Wirould not do the work properlY It must be distinetly unilettetood that this cutting of the cuticle/is oiily nee- ssary with neglected nails Nails w ich reci>ive proper and, regular at- tention have the lunt,la well in view, and the'skin at the base is not allowed to grow over it. beiug gently pushed back every day with an ivory presser. Whenever it is necessary to cut the cu- ticle it must be done with n skillful and delicate touch, and miller no cir- cumstances should blood be dra wri. as In such a case irritation and much sore- ness would follow. The nails themselves may now be nicely cut and trimmed with nail scis- sors. They ehould be cut to a pretty oval shape and may be finished off with a file to soften and level the edges. The beautifying process then com- mences by immersing the nails for a minute In any of the cleansing )tlulds or special preparations made for, the purpose or by the use of' a little letbon juice to free the nail. from all stains and diseoloratIons. Little orange wood sticks, sold in tiny bundlesare also used to apply the fluid under the cor- ners of the nail, and these effectually eradicate ink, gardening or other stains, which are sotyptimes difficult to remove froni the edges.

Alderman Charles H. pctor has se- cured patents for a 'Portable house which he claims will be suitable for a multiplicfty of uses. The alderman has been working on his invention for some years, and he thinks he has at last perfected a house which will be serviegable in many ways and whieh will prove especially valuable In the army, where it may be used for offi- cers' quarters or field hospitals In any climate. The house is made in sec- tiona, so that any sized structure, from a small one room affair to an immense PORTABLE BOUM. building with many partitions, may be quickly and easily put • up. Fiber boards and angle Iron are used in the construction, and It is claimed that the completed house is only. one-third the weight of a portable wooden structure of the same size. Cots in any desired number may be put in the house and niay be so arranged that they ean be folded against the wall when not In use. The accompanying cut shows one of the houses which was erected on the Jake front „end used by several visitors to the city during the recent G. A. I1. encampment, according to the Chicago Times-Heratd. This house Is 16 by 20 feet, and the ridge of the roof Is 12 feet high. The side walls are seven feet in height. This Is the usual or ordinary size and Is the house which Alderman Rector believes most serviceable for artny purposes. Eight cots can be placed with comfort in a house of this size. There Is an air chamber between the inner and outer walls to maintain a uniform temperature.' Hence the In- ventor says the house can be used -In the Klondike as well Is In places of tropical climate. The windows are of glass and swing open; like a door. Not a nail or bolt is used in the construc- tion of the house, and two people can put it up In 30 minutes. The entire structure weighs 1,500 pounds. and two can be loaded on an ordinary wagon. —age - so riazzling The Brevity of Ballarat.

Simple Devices Used net nn Aid to Memory, by Public Speakers—Good Exercises i,y Which Faulty Recol- lection May,.Be Corrected. • Many people complain of having a poor memory, end yet that -faculty can be developed as easily as can the bi- ceps tuuselc Nor is it necessary to go to any profs sor of memory or to ma ter any elaborate system in order to ac- complish this ' result. ' One -does not have to go to a gymnasium to strength- en ones arm or back. Sawing wood or rowing a beat -will do it. Similarly memory may be cultivat: d by one's own efforts and, amid one's ordinary pursuits. One plan made the Sunday service - of his church serve as a memory exer- ' else. After the service• he would en- deavor to recall the 'nugibers of all hynms sung. the chapter and verse of the Scripture lesson, words of anthem. • texts and points of sermon. This re- quired the paying of ' close attention and a conscious effort to impress these things upon his mind. By this and other equally simple means he develop- ed a memory that was abs olutely at his command. Fatuous speakers who have memo- - sized their speeches have adopted va- rious simple devices to aid tlietn. The shite Hon. John Bright fixed in mind the different points in iris speeches - by first clraw-iitg little figures or picto- rial ictorial representations. If part of his speech had to do with a bridge, he would make' a little- sketeh of such a structure or if' with Ireland or Scot- land he would sketch a small map of the country or the district. IIe could temelnber these figures or pictures. When•he nose to his feet, he could see them in Pniagirhation and select them ane by one as he proceeded from point to point in the address, not having any note or manuscript by him at all. That was the method that best suited hint. Another way of memorizing, the points of an' address to be delivered, one which the writer has frequently used,is by means of anagrams. 11 is very giimple. Suppose one were called upon to deliver a Fourth o'f July ora- tion and wished to speak mainly on these :three joints. First, ht,t arie ori- gin of the day; second,. the success of the experiment in government then in- augurated: third, the destiny of the re- public. A very suitable anagram to re- call these poiuts to mind wonid `be the letters U. S. A. He could set'his top- ics down in this way: Union proclaimed by Declaration of ljldependence. _ Success of expermieut iu government. After the present, whdT? He does not need to take any notes with him on the platform. He can eas- Tily remember these letters. `Remem- bering them. they recall his topics, and remembering the general topic it wits itself suggest any subdivisions per- taining to it. Certain people possess what may be called the bump of location. If they remember a passage in a book, they can tell you which side of the page it is ou and what prirt of the page. There are students with that kind of a mem- ory who prepare their recitations by taking a larg Ing different p. ferent places sheet of paper and • veit- rts of the lessolt in dif- r the paper. They then rely on their amuse of location to call to mind whatever they may wish to re- member. Again, there are people, who have a leen eye for color. They will' make their memoranda on slips of paper of different colors. Then simply callirg to mind a particular color will enable t thew to reruetinbet the memorandum associated with that -color. Of course all this. is Lased on what is known as _ the faculty of association of ideas. Some people • tvbo- can remember words and phrases find difficulty in re- membering figures or numbers. in such cases a curious expedient has sometimes been resortedlto. A phrase will -be 'devised the . initial letters of which suggest the figuresysought to be remembered. For examplea.suppose some one's street number to be 182. The snggt•stive phrase might be, "t seek him." 'ilia letter 1 will.suggest the figure 1. the letter S somewhat re- sembles an 8, and the two perpendicu- lar strokes -of the H suggest the Ro- man numeral II. A roundabout meth- od this may be, but it Pias served to fasten figures iu the memory of people who had previously found them trou- ` tleso1ne` But perhaps the most wholesome way in the long run is simply by repe- titiot>,tand effort to fix the thing in the memory directly without-- tricl4s of ' memory or artificial methods. By memorizing one sentence or Verge a day from the best literature the mind will soon have a tine treasure of beau- tiful thoughts and an enriched vocab- ulary. Dr. William Punshion, a great English preacher, did this, and his tine prose may have been rargely due to his familiar acquaintance with the best. Literature. For cootdtion purposes it is neces- sary to remember verbatim, and, • though this Is the hardest task of mem- ory. it well repays the effort. Once trained, the memory will be able to re; call the.exact words of conversations, sermons and passages in books with- out having made any conscious effort to commit them. -St. Louis Globe -Dem- ocrat.

Wonderful Results and Promise of "Corning Method." Dr. J. Leonard Corning, a distin- guished specialist in nervous and men- tal troubles of New York and a recog- nized authority in his branch of med- ical science, is the discoverer of "the Corning method of spinal anaesthesia," a discovery that is regarded by med- ical authorities as almost equal to the development of etherization. Briefly .described, the Corning meth- od is the accomplishment of anaesthe- sia, or loss of -sensation, in the lower half of the body alone, without caus- ing unconsciousness. It consists of the injection into the spinal canal, as the longitudinal cavity in the spine is call- ed. of a solution of hydrochlorate of cocaine, commonly called cocaine. The injection is made at about the waist line, and the solution unites with the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. For this fluid it- has a chemical .affinity. The paralyzing effect of the cocaine is immediately made manifest in the sen- sory fibers that communicate with the nerves of the lower hat& of the body.: As a result all sensation is lost in those parts, and surgical operations -may be performed without pain to the subject. Curiously enough, ..the cocaine affects the sensory but not the motor nerves, and ,even after the injection is made the patient is capable of locomotion. The Corning . method possesses in- finite advantages over the method of complete ; nnaethesia. Patients are spared the stifling vapors of chloro- form or ether and the struggling for breath and the horrible imaginings so common.to the old method. The dan- ger of complete collapse from kidney or heart disease is done away' with. Although the patient retains his con- sciousness and knows what is going on, 1t is usually deemed best to -blind- fold hint. • Several hundred operations have been performed in which the Corning meth- od has been used without n single fa- tality. Certain classes of nervous or hysterical persons never receive the new treatment, for their fortitude could not withstand the nervous shock of knowing that the operation is being'' performed even without actual pain. For them complete anmsthesia is ad- visable. The new method is of inestimable benefit in cases of abdominal surgery, in hernia, Ili obstetrics and in all opera- tions on the lower limbs. That It will ever be applied to the ' pper half of the body is considered by minent medical r' anthori .les o to m ch doubt. ubt. Co- caine has a temporarily paralyzing ef- fect and is not always trustworthy, and the danger of. applying it to the vital, nerve centers, which are all situ- ated above the middle of the body and which control the vital processes—res- I piration, .heart action, brain action and 1 so on—cannot be overestimated. Co-+ caine must, never be allowed to reach these important nerve centers. The Corning method, although of in- finite and incalculable benefit to man kind; must be confined to the hands of skillful „ • ! experienced. surgeons. In I the hand:: ,'f novices or reckless exper- ! lmenters it is capable of great harm even when applied to the lower regions of the body. It is an -exceedingly deal cate operation, for all spinal surgery, requires infinite pains and exhaustive! knowledge. • ' Dr: Corning's discovery was not acct -'t dental, but was the result- of logical; thinking -on the subject of cocainiza•1 tion. He made his discovery in. 1885, only about six months after the discov-1 of cocaine itself. Only within a' few months, however, has his method I come into general use, 0 s dei -1 icacy and also tom. w " Dr. calls "an accidelht of cience." Be -1 sides, Dr. Corning is not a surgeon, and it was for thetsurgeons to take up his discovery. A German professor recently _attempted to take the credit, but it is a matter of record, that the; honor unquestionably belongs to the able New York physician.

For measuring these ormouselectrical currents generated in and distributed from .modern central stations the hot Wire instrument is becoming very pop- ular. This type.of instrument depends for its operation upon the principle that any conductor of eleetricity becomes heated by the passage through it of a eurs'c`>it and that any metallic sub- stance that Is .heated expands. Great expectations are entertained and many plaais are being formed in Porto Rico for the installation of short inland electric railways :from the cen- tral range to •the coast. The power 1s to be developed through the ageucof many streams to be met with in every part of the mountain range, which traverses the island from end to end. If all that is expected in the Way of new roads and other electrical works is accomplished, there will be a field in Porto Rico for considerable electrical machinery and material. The only road on the Island, front -the capital to Rio Padres, some nine miles in length, is shortly to be equipped electrically. An Interesting application of the elec- trical current has recently been made in the manufacture of bisulphide of carbon. This substance is a colorless liquid resembling water in appearance, but possessing an intolerably offensive odor. It is used in large quantities as a solvent for India rubber and as the base of various varnishes. It is form- ed when carbon a'nd sulphur are !ted together at a high temperature, the "tiI sulphide then( passing away as a gase- ous vapor. I the new process a mix- ture of ground coke and sulphur is s, bjected to. the heat of the electric ire in a suitably designed furnace, • from which the resulting gases are led .into worms resembling those of a still. In this they are condensed to the liquid product, which is then 'bottled. It is .not the least of chemical curiosities that this clear and limpid liquid is formed by the combination of two solid substances. • Electric Furnaces. In a paper read before the Paris elec- trical congress Mr. Kellar gave a good general classification of the - electric furnaces employed at the present time. There are three classes—arc furnaces, resistance furnaces and incandescent furnaces. In the first class the heat is generated by a voltaic arc. In the re- sistance hype the hea'`t" 1s furnished by the passage of the current through im- perfectly conducting material, and in the incandescent furnace the material to be (acted on is not initially conduct- ive, and a special conducting layer Is required to start the. current. The temperatures.,,tibtained in the electric furnact> are said to be in excess of 3,000 degrees C. and are the highest yet attained . artificially—New York Times. The Progress ,s$ a Century.

Does Cutting Promote Growth of Hairt ` I This question is answered by the Frankfurter Wochenblatt in this wise: i "It is believed by laymen and profes- 1 sional hairdressers that cutting largely increases the growth -of the Lair. This belief begins with the involuntary cont -1 parison of the hair with a plant. As' grass that is often -eut short grows l again and becomes thicker, so. it is be- lieved, the hair should do when it is cut. This comparison„ however, is a false one. A develo"' Italy is a per- fectly formed mass of horn which has nothing further to-do with the case in which the hair rests than to receive from it from below further -growth and to be held firmly by it. In this . mass of horn, as in the nails of the fin- gers and the toes, there is no longer any sap in circulation. This mass, so to speak, is a product which cannot be quickened and strengthened by new notfiishment because the latter cannot enter it. On the other hand, what hap- pens in a blade of grass is totally dif- 1 ferent. The blade of grass is a net" work of fine ducts in which is con- stantly circulating the nourishment which the blade draws from the root. It presents, in contrast with the dead body of t hair, a living vegetating substance lch has a most intimate connection w- the condition of its root and which ' s up- infallibly when it is separated out its root, while the hair will Tema n unaffected; for thousands cf years aft r its papilla has withered away. We ed cite only one irresistible proof of his—the hair on the beads of uunnies. The root of the hair as loni,ts it exists can produce a new hair wheu4the old hair has fall- en out, while the root of many a plant gives existence to one sprout only and then, together with it, declines and! dies. The more a hair is disturbed in its natural growth by continually cut- ting off its ends the less rest its papil- la, the.r•eal producer of the hair, finds. The papt! : being constantly incited to excessive production, wavers finally fn its activity.- decays and dies. For this reason a woman with a bald head is never or seIdetu seen, as the natural and very ,tow process of the growth of a woman's hair is not disturbed. The individual hair reaches a definite length, and after years it falls out of itself, and a new hair begins to appear as soon as the papilla has had tinie_ o rest itself thoroughly and .to prepare Itself for the process of a new growth. These are the reasons which lead to - Jthe obvious l valid conclusion thatcut- ting c t ting the hair is rather injurious than useful." A Little Mistake In Medals. • The chief officer of a Yorkshire yeo- manry regiment while congratulating one of the troops on its appearance made a stirring allusiotrfle the medals worn by some army veterans in the ranks. One of the men, a native of Wharfedale. afterward wen4 honkie in a very thoughtful frame of mind, and next morning he cause on parade with several medals on his breast. Said the officer, "I didn't know you had been in the regulars." "No; I ain't)," said the man. "Well, how about the medals, then, my good fellow? They can't be yours." The man promptly answered: "Can't they?' Aye, but they be. My old coo won 'em all 'at Otley show."—Upper Wharfedale. Gases of Distilled Water.

Many writers have declared that an Irish gentletuan's hospitality is unlim- ited, but this is a slight exaggeration, as is shown by a story \borrowed from a book of Irish memories. Jerry McCartie was often the guest of friends who on account of his pleas- ant ways extended o' him that sort of a 1 t old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor in my own family who came for afortnighto sta • for sic ears. t 3 In McCartie's case the visit stretches' to nearly tleuble -that- time.

A radical and pleasing departure from the old style method of reaching elevated railroad stations is illustrated in the accompanying engraving. It shows an electric inclined eleva r which has been installed at the d n town station of the Manhattan evat- ed railroad at.Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue, New York. The former stairway, which had a landing midway in the ascent, has been removed and the straight- incline shown in the pho- tograph reproduced herewith substi- tuted. As can be seen, it is divided longitudinally throughout its entire length,, so that it can be used by both arriving and departing passengers, the two classes keeping to the. right of each other in passing,. as they would natu- rally do on a simple stairway. Ordinary' steps are provided for those descend- ing, as it was thought unnecessary to furnish an elevator for this purpose, says The Electrical World and Engi- neer of New York. - The speed at which the platform runs is a little over 100 feet per minute, d it has a capacity of 3,000 persons Per hour.

Sick headache may often be cured by taking half the juice of ,one lemon In a teacupful' of strong black' coffee. Headaches from biliousness or torpid liver sometimes yield to the simtile treatment of half a lemon squeezed in- to a.cup of hot water without sugar, taken night and morning. Lemo i juice and sugar mixed very thick -furnish a common household remedy for coughs and colds. Hot lemonade is also good, but the very best form In which the 'lemon can be used for such cases is -the following: Put a good sized lemon in the oven and let it remain - until thoroughly baked. It will then be soft all through. Take it out and add enough sugar or honey (honey is preferable) to make a(.hie5 sirup with the juice. Keep this_ arm and take a teaspoonful every few min- utes. When you make a hot lemonade for a cold, remember that glycerin instead of sugar will make the remedy more valuable. t• For feverishness and -unnatural thirst soften a lemon by rolling on a hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar and work the sugar down into the lemon with a fork. Then slowly suck the lemon. Lemons in almost any form have a beneficial effect 1 cases of rheuma- tism and are recommended by doctors. As a remedy for an obstinate corn bind a piece of lemon upon it, renew- ing every morning for three or four days. Then the Atm will be easily re- moved. Bread etumbs seated with lemon juice may be used for the same purpose. Rubbing with pieces of lem on will relieve sore and tender feet. Chilblains can be cured by rubbing with a sliced lemon 'that has been sprinkled with salt. The chapping of the hands by ex- posure to heat or from hot soapsuds may be prevented by rubbing with lemon juice, and, with salt, lemon juice will remove iron rust and nearly all vegetable stains.—New York Herald.

As to Skirts. As to 7the length of skirts, there seems to be very little change, in spite of all the conflicting runtbrs as to the abbreviated and extended inches, says the New York Sun.,I'resent indications are that long skirts will remain in fashion through angtiher season at least. All the new gewns with any pre- ' tensions toward dressy effects are cer- tainly tuite as long as they were in the spt•ing, the shorter skirts being strictly tailor ninde for traveling and morning'. gear. 1 One item of fashio'l which seems to be absolutely settled is that some sort of skirt trimming is necessary.

IRVING TODD & SON. • SATUkDAY 'NOVEMBER &1, 1900. Y A•Malieious Falsehood. We uuderstand that there has been a denial of the above statement, but it was not very strong However. there are a few other matters which might also be denied, for instance, the letter which was received by a certain man who lives about three miles from this city. a short time ago, in which Mr. Heatwole stated that he would see that his pension was increas- ed, if he would give hiin his support in return.—Haxtings Democrat. This paragraph is so glaringly false that we desire to call particular attention to it. The dirty story in regard to assessing the employes of the government printing office has been so effectually exploded that the re -publication at this late hour is certainly surprising. We cannot understand how anything could be more strongly denied. In reference to the letter which The Democrat refers to as having been written by Mr. Heatwole to "a certain man who lives about three miles from. this city, a short time ago, in which Mr. dleatwole stated that he would see that his pension was in- creastt , if he would give him his sup- port i► return," we desire to brand it as absolutely and unqualifiedly false, and we will give The Democrat $50 for the letter containing the' alleged statements quoted above and bearing Mr. Heatwole's signature. This is a mild sample of the statements which hate .been repeatedly ,made in all parts of the district. Itis proper to say that Mr. Heatwole does not give his services contingent upon support for lii►uself. He serves all alike in • his conduct of public business, and no service is coupled with a request for support. - There is atple testimony of Mr. llcatwole's readiness to -serve the people of this district. in expediting .the business through any of the dif- ferent governmental departments in - which they tray be interested. He has not allowed himself to take into consideration either their condition in life or their political atjiliations. He has been ss ready to comply with the request of the most humble widow, who depends for her livelihood -on the pension sought from the 'government, as he has been to serve his moist in- fluential supporters. Nor has he dis- criininated between those to whose -support he owed his election and the men whorl he had every reason to be- ' lieve had tried to compass his defeat. Convincing evidence of this is fur- nished by correspon lenge, published in The Hutchinson 'times of Oct. 3d, which passed between e; Heatwole and Mr. Schaller. 31r. Schaller, it appears, had a client who hada claim before the land department, and who stood to lose a.good round suis if it was not attended to at once. So Mr: Schaller ,wrote to Mr. Heatwole, telling him that the matte' required '-above all things quick action," -and urged him • to give the matter his_prolnpt person- al attention. And that is exactly what Mr. Heatwole did. ' The same day he presented the facts of the case to the department, and a ° tele- gram was -dispatched to ' the special land agent at Duluth,. which practi- cally settled the business. That Mr. Schaller appreciated the 'service rendered his client is apparent from a letter which he shortly after-. ward wrote to the congressman from this distleict: In that letter Mr. Schaller not, only , conveyed his client's thanks for Mr. Heatwole's "kindness' and promptness," but added, "Permit me also on my own behalf to thank you for harini acted so promptly in this matted'. Mr.-- stood,to lose quite a bit of money if the departmeet hadn't''been jogged up pretty lively, and I add my ac- knowledgment.and thanks," etc. The matter is significant as show- ing that Mr. Heatwole's effective service has extracted ungrudging commendation . even from his most pronounced political opponents, who are fair and just. • J: H: Block, of St. Peter, is a can - 'chile for state treasurer, and with ur large republican majority will most likely be -elected. He is not 'rely unknown to our citizens, for his action in "reconsidering" the vete which located the fourth insane hos- pital at Hastings finally' culminated in the little shanty with a hundred in- mates instead of a great institution with ten of twelve hundred and a full corps of officers. Mr.Block has prob- ably not had time in his numerous engagements elsewhere during the campaign to call and renew the assurances - of his distinguished re- gard, but he undoubtedly is we.; aware that the voters of Hastings and Dakota County have dot forgot- ten him, and will most cheerfully look after his interests at the polls next Tuesday. The republican county ticket corj- tains a number of excellent names, and as a whole will receive a hearty support -at the_ polls next Tuesday. In advocating their claims it is not proposed to sayap unkind word of our friends, the enemy. Most of the gentlemen upon the demdratic ticket have filled their respective offices for many years, with records gener- ally satisfactory to themselves and their constituents. Still,where the re- publicans have put up equally as good men, there is no particular reason why they should not receive attention from the many voters who do not draw party lines closely in matters of local interest. The latter have the balance of power in Dakota County, and their decision will mate- rially affect the result in several im- portant positions. It is humiliating to read 'ef the governor of the great stataef Mip- nesotaappealing to the voters from the stump like a fourth rate ward politician, and making numerous statements that he well knows can- not be substantiated. He is not only claiming personal credit for all of the republican. legislation of the past four years, but also for\many things which exist only in his imagination, such as the reduction in railrroad freight schedules, the decreased cost of grain inspection, the saving to the farmers in the prison binding twine, etc, etc. The people are beginning to realize that he is the worst dema- gogue known to the history of our commonwealth. A Correction. To the Editor of The Gazette: I notice you give expense account of the Anoka asylum for four months at $5,885.76, and that of the Hastings asylum at $4,308.05 for the same period and same number of patients. This is an injustice to the Anoka in- stitutt6rie The asylums are running nearly even. The showing given is the cost of maintenance in Anoka from March 24th to July 31st, and for Hastings from April 26th to July 31st, Anoka' receiving -her patients a month earlier. Respectfully, ROBERT CARMICHAEL; .. The Democrat refers to J. H. McCreary, of this city, as a victim of our congressman's pro ptness. The paragraph is fully in keeping with the other mud slip ng in its last issue. Mr. McCreary had a land claim, which was jumped for ab- sence. A- South Dakota lawyer took the ease and lost it. Thhn Mr. Heatwole• was appealed to, who tried personally to have the matter reopened at the department, which the commissioner declined to do. That is the whole story in a nutshell. W. E. Beerse is making a good fight for county commissioner in the first dtts`trict, and notwithstanding there are five candidates in the field. his friends are very confident of his election. ' He is a Hastings man from the ground up, having been born near the levee July 4th, 1860, and has been engaged in the livery busieess for the past eighteen years. He is serving his third term as alder- man from the first ward, and would make a very competent chairman of the county board. Give -him your vote. T - The republican candidate for county commissioner in the second district is T. G. Kingston. He was born in Canada forty-six years ago, and came to Marshan with his parents in 1859, where he has since lived and owns a good farm. The people believe him to be a man of sound judgment and one that can be trusted, as he has been holding town offices a number of years. Ttie voters'of ttie see and district will make no mistake in put- ting an X opposite his name next Tuesday. The attempt of J. R. Lowe to have the word populist erased from tf official ballots\ in the third distri t, after the name of Albert Schell democratic candidate for congress, was summarily disposed of by Judge Buckham on Tuesday, and no change will be made. The scurrilous attack of the Lind- Schaller gang upon Postmaster King in The St. Paul Globe of the 26th ult. will cost "their candidates quite a number of votes in this vicinity., It has most effectually put an end to the complimentary vote racket. - John McKusick, the founder of Stillwater, died on Friday,aged eighty, five years.

Lytle, of South St. - Paul, nominated for the legislature by the republicans of Dakota County, is one of the best known and most popular citizens of the county. A thorough business man and a public spirited gentleman, he has won the respect and admiration of the .entire com- munity in which he has lived since 1889. As the senior member of the fir►n of Lytle & Raeburn he it known throughout the northwest as a keen, conservative business man and live stock operator. Mr. Lytle is now serving as mayor of South St. Paul with credit to himself and the town. Immediately after'taking office he be- gan a crusade against the slot. machines and other gambling schemes for which the little town had become notorious, and so strict has been the surveillance that it has become a model community of law and order. E. A. Whitford, of Hastings, re- publican candidate for the legislature from Dakota County, is one of the representative men of the county. Mr. Whitford is an able lawyer and a business man of unquestioned ability. Re was for eight years assistant cushier of the German American Bank of Hastings, and later com- pleted the law course of the Universi- ty of Michigan. He began the prac- tice of law about ten years ago, and soon after was elected county at- torney, declining a renomination after serving one term. His record as 'county atto ney is' an excellent one, and his administration one of the most economical is the history of the -county.

Staples, candidate for the two year term as railroad and warehouse commissioner on the re- publican ticket, should receive a tre- mendous vote it genuine worth, ster- ling honesty, and real ability counts for anything. For four consecutive sessions he has represented Dakota County in the lower branch of the legislature, and no man has ever serv- ed the state more faithfully and more efficiently. Several of the most bene- ficent laws that grace our statute books have been placed there through his indefatigable labors and his un- flagging zeal in the interests of the state. C. F. Staples was never known to support a boodle measure. The fact that Dakota County, always strongly democratic, generally by more than one thousand majority, re- turned Mr. Staples to the legislature session after session, by majorities ranging from five hundred to fifteen hundred, speaks volumes for him; it proves that he possesses the confi- dence of those who know him best re- gardless of party affiliations. No voter who places a cross opposite the name of C. F. Staples on the sixth day of November will ever have reason to regret his action. If Mr. Staples is elected no amount of pub- lic clamor would influence him to act unfairly toward any railroad corpora- tion, and money could not hire him to betray the interests of the people. C. F. Staples is a fair man and abso- lutely incorruptible. He is, indeed, a model man and a model candidate,— Princeton Union, An engineering feat blas been ac- complished at the state reformatory, the equal of which has not been seen hereabouts. It will be remembered that it was some' time since discover- ed that the great granite wall of the new administration building—in course of construction—was some inches out of alignment with the other buildings. The superintendent of construction, William Noonan, has - now asnow- straightened the wall without the great labor and expense of tear- ing it down and rebuilding it, and without the 'slightest injury to the fine piece of masonry. Fifty jack- screws were obtained by Supt. Rau- dall, and by means of these and the inmate labor the builder has moved this wall three inches at one end and twenty 1 ches at the other without damaging the wall in the least. When it is known that it is estimated to weigh two hundred and seventy tons, or more than half a million pounds, it is considered a very fortu- nate solution f the difficulty.—St, Cloud Journal -Pr s. That chameleon, The Pilot, states that "Mr. Schaller is heartily in favor of rural free delivery, and if elected to congress he will do litore to forward the system than Mr. Heatwole has ever done." The Pilot has lost its, rudder. If Schaller should be elected` with McKinley he could do absolutely nothing for anybody. He couldn't even warm up to the outside of the departmental buildings in Washing- ton. Should both Schaller and Bryan be-etected they would do nothing in this regard, as their party has never favored the free rural delivery idea. There is no mention of it in the Bryan platform, while the republican platform declares for an extension of the system. Free rural mail de- livery, like most other good things in this country, is a republican institu- tion.--faribault Journal. • _A One of the very best names on the ticklet is that of our neighbor of Dakota County, ,the Hon. C. F. Staples, and because he ieur neigh- bor, and practically a west side man, coupled with the fact that he has talents which peculiarly fit him for the position, he should receive a generous support i4. this neighbor- hood. NO ,man who knows Mr. Staples, and there are few that don't know him, will question his ability to fill the place well.' He is known throughout the state for his unswerv- ing honesty and his loyalty to what he believes to be right. There is no man in Minnesota better fitted every way for the place than Mr. Staples. Let the sixth ward do its part hand- somely.—West St. Paul Times. When the people of his district spoke against the Porto Rican tariff measure,Congressman Heatwole heard and obeyed as their reprsentative. When the whole state was clamoring as with one voice for the passage of the gross earnings bill aiming to put a just proportion of the tax upon• the railroads, Senator Schaller disobeyed the wishes of -'tris constituents and cast the deciding vote which defeated the measure and left the plain people to shoulder the burden as of yore. There is the record of the ,two candi- dates for congreeti in this district, ex- pressed in plain English. Which wilt receive your vote?—Shakopee Trib- une. G. L.

The present grain inspection is a by -word among shippers and farmers who know of its incompe- tence. He charged mismanagement of the prison binder twine factory and prom- ised, if elected, to give the farmers cheaper twine.

He recommended the passage of the Miller bill, to end the diliatory tactics of railroads in preventing reductions' or freight rates—AND THEN VE- TOED THE BILL! He denounced Public Examiner Ken- yon, and replaced him with a man named Pope, who was the subject of the first public scandal ever attached to a state office in Minnesota.

This year Mr. Lind maintains a dis- creet silence about his civil service re- form, the expense of various institu- tions conducted under him, his public examiner,his 'promise of cheaper twine, and ether matters which he ad- vocated two years ago. In his speech- es he is telling the people that: "If he had the power he would tear down the American flag in the Philip- pines; that it is a mere rag there." That he is the enemy of the rail- roadsi- and hie personal organ is the St. Paul Globe, owned by Jim Hill, the railway magnate. That all the good legislation acoom• plashed by the last legislature was 'through his efforts.

Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to -a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years.have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate to the basis of all Wpalth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during •the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment -La the city, really] worth more. well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amouets at live, four and one-half, and,, in some cases, as low as fbur per cent, and it is 'the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than $10,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for 9200 as one for $.50,000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent en small loans from $800 to $5,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than 910,000) and I have many applications for loans of from 5230 to 85,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, In case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to out the coupons and leave them for collection. If yeu wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my niTnner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon mr for information, will consider it a favor.

"By George, if I hadn't nearly for- gotten!" quoth Stafford pere. IIe rum- maged in an inner pocket. "Can't find the letter. Mutt have left it at the. office. Anyhow, it's from my cousin, Godfrey Chester"— "Now, Henry," interrupted the mild voice of Mrs. Stafford in amused ex- postulation, "why will you keep up that fiction about the cousiuship? It is mythical, and you know it!" "It's certainly remote," conceded the beaming paterfamilias at the eepssite end of the table, "but there once was a relationship—a long time ago, I ad- mit. But Chester and I have traced back until we found it. he's a good fellow, Chester. I've always been urg- ing him to manage that our young peo- ple may become acquainted. He writes that his daughter will pass through Chicago tomorrow, on the way to New York, and will spend a few days with us. Ie says he wishes one of my fam- ily w i1d meet her.

"Youngsters, indeed!" cried Dick dis ' dainfully. "Does he take us for kin dergartners?" Ross, who was the eldest, smiled I quite a superior and disinterested lash ion. He boasted a .flourishing loos Melte. Ile was studying lar,! 1'lainl the subject had no interest for him. "But one of y-ou must meet tht child!!" cried the bead of -the house "You'll go, Ralph?" "Can't, fir. I'm doing an article of the architecture of the tenth century It takes a lot`of research. I'll be al morning in the Newberry library." Henry•Stafford, huge of girth, roseate of visage and twinkling of eye, turned his face imploringly toward his young- est son. "You, Dick?" "Got a golf match ou. Can't make it, sir." "Dear, dear! )1f your sister were only at home"— "She'll be back tomorrow afternoon," 'put in Mrs. Stafford. "But the little girl gets here in the mojning. She must be met. She is from a conparatifely small town. She would be quite bewildered were she to find herself alone itt Chicago." He sent the good looking young fel- low with the mustache an"appealing glance. "I wonder now, Ros , if you"— Ross laughed leniely. ''You poor, perplexed old chap! Yes, I'll see that the child gets here all right:" "Good!" said Henry Stafford, with a sigh of relief. "Good!'�i t• But when the western train disgorg- ed its jostling multitude in the Union depot the following morning Ross Staf- ford, standing close by the iron gates, found that he had undertaken a task of greater magnitude than he had at the time imagined. There was such a crush of people, stout and thin, talilied short, big and little. There were tildren— processions of them. But they all seemed to belong to the folks who hur- ried them along. Never a glimpse could_ he catch of a curly. headed little girl in a gray 'gown, wearing a hat with gray feathers. Or was the dress brown? By Joce.t He wasn't even sure of that.The last laggard group trickled away. Ross knew the conductor of the Den- ver train and spoke to him as he came hurrying along. "All off your train, Brigham?" "Sure!" • "There was a little girl coming to Chicago—had curly hair, a blue dress, a green hat — blest if I remember! Wasn't she on?" "Alone, was slier"Yes." "No, sir. Didn't come. Sure? Course I am?' Ross wheeled arounda.°Vell, I'll tel- ephone the folks that she wasn't on. Dad can wire her people and find out— I beg your pardon!" And he suddenly found himself bow- ing profoundly, hat in hand, before a young woman with whom -be had al- most collided in his haste, a slender young woman, a graceful young wom- an, a lovely young woman, as his sus- ceptible heart instantly acknowledged. She accepted his apology with a slight bend of the head and a vivid blush. Half way up the st irs he glanced back and saw her st ceding where he bad left her. He he ted and went back. "You are waiting for some one? Can I be of service?" "Thank you!" What a sweet voice. • "I am afraid there has been a mistake. ,No one has come to meet me. May 1 ask you to call a cab?,. And when he bad done so, when she had thanked him, when he stood bare - beaded on the curbstone as the vehicle rolled away, he -recollected that he had not listened to the address she had giv- en the driver, and he walked off in a towering rage at his own imbecility. Never was there so dreary a day, al- , though the late August Sunshine found its way into his office; never had the reading of the law seemed such a dull and tiresome drudgery; never before had the pages blurred into a mass of meaningless black marks,- but, then, d= r s p u yl never .before had a bewitching young face come between him and his books, a face with reddish gold ringlets clus- terecj around a white forehead and shy eyes the color of woodland violets. He leaped from his seat as a bright thought struck him. He could hunt up the cabman. That was • the thing to. do! But, although he hung around the depot for two whole loured tinned every jehu ithi r q s- oh, he could lot find the mat. he sought. It. was evidently that particular cabman's busy day. Tired and disgusted, Ross Stafford took a plunge at the athletic club, got himself home, shrugged himself into his evening clothes, for he was gong out after dinner, and went down to the palKor to find himself face to face with the divinity of the red gold ringlets• and the violet eyes! "Ross, my dear," cooed Mrs. Staf- ford, "let me introduce you to Miss' Chester, whom somehow you managed to miss this morning. Why, you"— For they were smiling at each other —merrily4pon toneously. "indeed, no, mother!" Perhaps he held the pretty hand she gave him a little longer than was necessary. "I met Miss Cheater this morning. Did she not tell you .I put her in a cabs" Miss Chester laughed. Ross Stafford laughed. And the bewilderment of the head of -the- Buse of Stafford, of the golfing , and the studious son, as they • in" urn werepresented, p sated, set trent laughing again. "Lord bless Mi!" cried Stafford sen- ior, ruffling his hair, "your father said you were a little girl!" "Oh, I shall never be gro'&n up to papa!" cried Miss Chester. • "IIe said, stammered the young gentleman who was getting up an ar- ticle on the architecture of the tenth century, "that—that you were a nice child." "Don't you think," queried Adele Chester mischievously, "that I'm nice?" Whereat Ralph g%ew guiltily red. Helen Stafford reached home before dinner was over. Her brothers' rap- turous r4ception amazed her. Never had she fit -now how they missed her! Nor could she dream that each of three young hypoei tes was saying to him- self: "She R ou'to east in such ga hurry IP she and Helen take to each other." They did 'take to each other. Ross fond 'it was not necessary to keep hlf engagement that evening and permit- ted his friend to cool his heels alone at their appointed rendezvous. Ralph learned his tenor went wonderfully well with the pure soprano of their gust. And Dick was so anxjpus to initiate Miss Chester into the mysteries of flashlight pictures that he made him- self no end of a bore. Tlie country cousin of the Staffords did not go east that week nor the next. When she did go, all the mirth and laughter of the Stafford domicile seemed to go with her. One morning a week after her de- parture Ralph and Dick said some bit- ter things when they discovered that Ross had found out he must attend to business in New Yor nd had left for the city on the midnlbt train. And when Ross returned, tuned, siletrt, but smil- ing and exultant, they were not at all backward about telling him with true fraternal frankness their opinion of his conduct. "You were awfully good to go to meet that little country lassie," commented Ralph witheringly. "I beliefea you knew all the time she was the prettir' kind of a girl!" "Kindness—sheer kindness on my part, dear boy. But, as I have striven to impress on you, virtue is ever its own reward." "Oh, come off!" entreated Dick. "You just got the inside track, and you kept it." Ross pulled his mustache. "I assure you in taking my late hasty trip I had only the best interests of my brothers at heart. My sole ambition was to secure you the most charming sister-in-law in the \tor ." Helen jumped up. "Oh. Ross! Did you --did she"— He laughed quizzically. "Adele gave me a message for you, my dear. She said to tell you that' you are to be"— "What, Ross?" "Bridesmaid."—Buffalo Commercial. Humiliated. "I have a young professional friend," said the veteran lawyer, "who is very bright mentally, nentally, but an abominably poor story teller. In fact, I believe it is his mental activity that makes him a bore in that regard. "The other morning I met him on the way down town. He greeted me cor- dially and with the air of.a man who. had something good on his mind that heantii t share with some one else. "'Say,' he said, 'I'm going to tell you the best story you ever heard"' "Of course I inwardly resented this statement, though I said nothing. He started with his story, but he had 'tot gone very far before he made a lengthy and tiresome discursion from the sub-\ jest. He jumped the track two or three times in this way, until finally his sto ry, as far as he had progressed, was a mere jumble of words. Suddenly, as we reached Grand Circus park, he stopped and began to smooth his knees and rub his hands in the most peculiar fashion. "'What in the world are you doing that for?' I asked.

The coat it- self Is very loose, a little longer Per- haps than the three-quarters length and the long, close sleeves form a dis- titict contrast. The short jacket Which is part of the new street costume, either dressy of plain, ends a little below the waist line, with a belt in front, and has a cifat- tail appendage In the back fully seven or more inches deep and quite as wit,, This is laid in narrow plaits on either side and falls below either a real or NIGHTDRESS SACHET. sldered Is how best to preserve its fra- grance through the long months of winter. The housewife • who is of a strictly practical turn of mind is con- tent with simply incasing the flowers in plain muslin bags, to be laid among her linen and damask. Some strip the little Quakerl!ke blossoms from their stalks and fill the bags wiLli,tbe flower heads only; others, realizing that the stalks, too, have their share_ of per- t/me to diffuse, make use of these as well. For clever fingers and tasteful fancy there are a score of ways of dis- posing of the lavender after it is gath- ered—in embroidered sachets. in min- iature silken sacks or with the stalks interwoven with soft ribbons into a kind of basket work.to form a cover- -tug for the flowers. latter metabod is one of the most satisfactory oflauy for tying up small quantities to be placed in a drawer with pocket hand- kerchiefs, ribbons, laces and other small et ceteras. For those who do not know how this is done it may be as well to describe the process. First cut the flowers, some dozen or more, with good, !bug stalks, then cut off the lat- ter in equal lengths of about six inches, leaving a couple of inches with the flowers. Next lay the flowers head to head, with the two inch stalks out- ward, so as to form a sinall roll, thick in the middle and tapering toward the ends. Tie this roll firmly with silk, so as to keep It in shape. and over it place the six inch stalks, arranging them to cover it entirel and tying thou firmly and closely together at one end. Now thread a Worsted needle with tine chi- na ribbon, white or some pretty color, and interlace it "over and under" through the cowering stalks. weaving it into as close a basket work as possible. When the whole is interlaced. tic up the other end securely and finish both ends with a ribbon bow or n tiny silk pompon. Some pretty suggestions for embroid- ered scent cases are embodied, in the ilhistrations. The first is a sketch of es nightdress saehet etnbroidered ' with lavender and sweet herbs and perfum- ed with the originals of the worked de- sign. The case itself pray be of wash- ing silk, grass lawn. muslin or c,mbric. If a transparent material is used. there ll DOUBLE BOLSTER SACHET, tehould be a tieing of cucumber green, ptjle heliotrope or some other light, del- icate color. The flowers and leaves should be embroidered as naturally as possible. the motto being in raised sat- in stitch. The/best way of inserting the perfume is to place the dried leaves pr the sachet powder in a separate fiat bag of muslin or silk sewed into the deep corner of the flap. The frill may he of the same material as the sachet or looks charming made double in white and colored chiffon or in lace, with silk beneath it. A pleasing fashion la" to scent the soft head pillows, so comfortable on the back of an easy chair. with laven- der, crushed lemon. thyme, verbena or other fragrant leaves placed between two thin layers of cotton wool or vege- table down. The double bolster pillow illustrated might be scented, in accord with its embroidery of violets, with a little pounded orris root, the fragrance of which' so closely resembles that of the Bower. The. violets In shaded giant ribbon work, on a ground of turquoise blue silk, would form a fascinating decoration, which might 'readily be adapted on a smaller scale to a double sachet for gloves, veils or ties.

To overroll your pastry is a patent way of tot:ghening it Roll it as light- ly, if firmly, and as evenly as possibly, but not one turn snore than Is absolute- ly necessary. The trouble with sponge cake is apt to be baking. Baked in too hot an oven, it rises very fast and sinks 14 once to snatch when lifted out of the oven. Remember that the test of an oven for sponge'cakes is to put in a sheet of white paper, and if it colors beyond the very faintest tinge of prim- rose the oven is too hot. Boiled Cider Apple Sauce.

Genets■ the Actor. Some English investigator has dis- covered that actors have a patron saint who was an actor In the days of Dio- cletian and won his place by proclaim- ing before a heathen audience his be- lief in Christianity. He was put to death and for many years afterward was considered by Christian actors as their patron saint. His name was Genetus. Coming Down- With a Parachute. "Coming down from the clouds in a 'parachute is like a dream," said a cir- cus balloon artist. "Ever dream of falling from a high place? You come down, alight quietly and sa(vake, and you're not hurt. Well, that's the para- chute drop over again. No; there is no danger. A parachute can be guided readily on the down trill, but you can't steer a balloon. To guide a parachute out of harm's way a practiced hand can tilt it one way or the other, spill out air and thus work it to where you want to land or to avoid water, tree'', chimneys or church spires. "Circus ascensions are generally made in the evening. When the sun goes down, the wind goes down. The balloon then shoots into the air; and the parachute drops back on the circus lot or not far away. "A balloon is, made of 4 cent muslin and weighs about 500 pounds. . A para- chute is made of 8 cent muslin. The rope that secures the parachute le Ott with a knife. The aeronaut drops fully 100 feet before the parachute be- gins to fill. It must fill if you're up high enougle Inv:#lably the fall is head first. When the parachute gins to fill, the descent is 1:,= : rapid, and finally when the achute has finally filled it bulges -out with a pop. Then the aeronaut climbs on to his tra- peze and guides the parachute to a safe landing. In seven cases out of ten you can land back on the lot where you started from."—New York News. Wanted a Job as Boss. A boy of about 14, wish well worn clothes and a face in which timidity and determination struggled for the rnastery, entered the office of a ship- ping house on Frontstreet one day last week, approached the desk of him whose appearance spoke the control of the establishment and, catching his eye, said: "Do you want a boss, mister?" "What!" exclaimed the proprietor. Surprised out of his self control. "I want to know if you want a boss, sir." "I don't understand you. What do you mean?" "Well, sir, I've been looking for something,to do for three weeks now, and nobod •ants a boy, so today I thought I'd e if somebody didn't want n t n boss. d like to be a boss." "Well, well! That's not bad. Are you willing to work up to the job? It took me 25 years to get it."a. "'Deed I am. sir, if you'll give me the chance," Today an earnest bby in jumper and overalls is struggling with bundles and packing cases in the shipping room of the concern. He intends to be boss of theestablishment befrf•e his side whiskers, which have not yet sprout- ed, arh as gray as those of the present incumbent. And the chances, with his energy and will, are in . his favor.—New York Times. Four Good Smokes Cheap. "Gimme three nickel cig rs," said the man With the red nedftie at the restaurant counter. He was quickly supplied. "Now gimme a good Havana West cigar, about a 15 center." He carefully lighted the Havana ci- gar and tucked the nickel cigars in his upper vest pocket. "You'smoke a Havana yourself and keep the nickel cigars for your friends, I suppose?" said the dealer, with a sickly smile. "No," said the man with the red necktie; "I've got a better scheme than that. I always smoke a 15 cent Ha- vana or Key West cigar after dinner. Then 1 smoke the nickel cigars after- ward. The nickel cigars taste exactly like the Havana cigar, and thus I get the benefit of four choice cigars that ordinarily would cost me (10 cents for 30 cents.

A well known artist used to tell a good story concerning his flrat acade- my picture. He was favored by many visitors to see it, his frame maker among the number This good fellow took his stand before the work air l" seemed buried in profound admiration. "Well," said the painter, "what do you think of it, John?" "Think of it, sir? Why, it's perfect. You won't see one better, I know. Mr. — has got one just like it." "What!" said the amazed artist. "A picture just like that?" "Oh,"• replied the frame maker, "I wasn't talOtfig about pictures. I was speaking of the frame. You may be- lieve me, sir, it's the frames as gets 'em in, and that is just a beauty!" Wherein iI'hey Were Alike. - A country minister who, though a poor man, was notoriously defective and hesitating in his style of delivery in the pulpit, was sitting having a cup of tea with one of the old spinsters connected with his congregation when he observed' that the spout of the tea- pot was either choked or too narrow. "Your teapot. Miss Kennedy," he re- markedy "disna—disna ria weel." "Ay, jist like yoursel', Mr. Broon," retorted the nettled lady. "It has an unco puir delivery." It Certainly Would. It happened on one of the 'Milwaukee boats, and they were standing near one of the eight huge ventilators that may be seen on the upper deck of any of the larger lake steamers. He was holding her hand, and they were talking for the benefit of no one else when suddenly the hoarse fog horn whistle blew a deafening blast. She glanced nervdusly behind her and beheld Mlle ventilator with its yawning opening, as well as the seven others, standing like specters in the moonlight. "Wouldn't it be awful, George," she whispered, "if every one of these eight should go off at the same time?"—Ex- ehange. Dangerous.

More than 100 years ago, Father Menendez, while traveling among the mountains in the northern part of Pat- agonia, discovered a pass through which, he said, a practicable wagon road migltis(4e made from the Pacific ocean through all the mountain ranges to Lake' Nalinel Huapl, by far the lar- gest lake in the southern part of South America, and on to tile Atlantic ocean. It became known a the Bariloche pass. In those days It was thought that no 'good would ever come out of Patagonia. Very few explorers or oth- er white men visited this region, and Father Menendez's discovery, though utilized for a time.•as almost forgot- ten till some 20 years ago, when ranch - men began to move down to the neigh- borhood of Lake Nahuel Huapi and found the grass was good and other crops might be raised. Then citizens of Chile and Argentina began to look around for this pass in the mountains, and, although they sought diligently, they failed to find it. The description which t pioneer priest had given of the important dis- covery was, unfortunately, very vague and painfully lacking in detail, and hunting for the pass In that rough and tangled mountain region was, a good deal like looking for a needle in a hay- stack. Finally the official explorers whom Argentina and Chile have long kept in the field began to take a hand in the search. They used their utmost care, but all in vain until this late day, when the long sought for pass has at la4t been discovered ed an d traced by the Chilean engineer, Captain Barrios. ( Petermann's Mitteilungen prints a list of all the valleys of big rivers and their little tributariesthrough which this comparatively low lying and tor- tuous route runs front the Pacific ocean to the big lake of Patagonia. It is not worth while to reproduce the e, and most of them arc the names f valleys that haae not yet appeared n any of our maps. One or another x- plorer has struck the route in a part of it's course, but, somehow, has never succeeded in connecting it with the other parts for any great distance. But there is no doubt whatever that the route which Father Menendez and some Qf his successors followed has been rediscovered in its entirety. Here and there are found traces of the old path, and there are many blazed trees which the original discoverer is believ- ed .to have marked. Home School Work. By order of the Pittsburg board of education more time for study during school hours is to be permitted to the pupils of the high school, and the ne- cessity for hone work will be obviated. In this reform, as Is pointed out by the Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph, the_ school authorities are beginning at the wrong end. Pupils in the high school, by reason of their age and strength and. the shorter sc•hoel hours, are better able to stand the strain of home work than are the children in the grammar schools. Children who ought to spend in play all their daylight hours out of school and who should go early to bed to give the forces of growth and devel- opment in their systenis their proper opportunity are required to spend one or two hours at home In study. Won ' Wonders �f the Forbidden Palace. After tit6 march of the troops through the Forbidden palace at Peking a party of civilians. including the ladies of the legations and several well known mis- sionaries, was admitted. Tea was serv- ed, and then the imperial palaces were inspected. The most remarkable fea- tures of the imperial buildings are said to be the exterior gilding and the -stair- cases carved out of single stones, with figures and dragons, lions and other ornaments. The bed of the empress is trimmed wi t s lid gold. After the in- spection 'the ga es were closed again. and no one -was permitted to enter the grounds. -London Mail.

THE JUBILEE DIAMOND. tt Is the Largest and Most Costly of AU Diamonds. No single object exhibited at the Paris exposition even remotely ap- proaches in value the gleaming "Jubi- lee" diamond, as it has been called in commemoration of the jubilee of the reign of the queen of England. It is a diamond of the fleet water and of a beauty add size that leave anything known heretofore far behind. This largest and most costly of all diamonds weighs in its present shape 239 carats, while the next largest -viz, the "Or- loff," crowning the Russian imperial scepter -weighs but 194% carats; also as regards whiteness and fire, as well as in the wonderful perfection of its cut, the "Jubilee" excels all its rivals. For the time being this Goliath among -precious stones Is still owned by a syndicate of capitalists connected with the Jagersfontein Irvine, in which it was found. With regard to the price one ,ean hardly speak . about that until the stone has been sold, an event whieh is doubtless not going to take place in a hurry, for the guard stationed by the showcase c'bntafning the sparkling gem gives its value at 8,000.000 francs, whether correctly or not is hard to say. Only one thing seems assured- namely,at the stone shown to the admiringlicrowds In the palais on the Esutanade des Invalidea is paste, while its original is kept somewhere in se- cure custody. This gem was found on June 30, 1893, at Jagersfontein, in the Orange Free State. The stone was picked up by a native a ve while he was loadingtruck, a and, although a white overseer was standing near him, he managed to se; crete it and kept it on his person for some time. In this case, however, it did not appear that he proposed steal- ing the gem, but only wished to deliver it personally to the manager. This he did, and as a bonus he received £150 and a horse, saddle and bridle. The diamond weighed in the rough exactly 971% carats, or about 7 1-10 ounces avoirdupois. Unfortunately it had a black spot about the middle, but It was .30 placed as to allow the stone being eut into two, with the spot falling out. -Jewelers' Circular -Weekly. / The Male.

'The sales are to be outright and cannot be canceled or modified to suit the demand, as is the case with most staple goods. If we buy them and can't sell them, we're stuck. Do I think they will be a go? The haber- dasher merely shrugged his shoulders." Electricity In Mining, In the first place, its , great conven- fenee must be noted. -An electric lamps can be placed and used where 'no other lamp can and practically any candle power that may be • required can be had from it. An electric motor to do certain work is much lighter and ban- dier than any other form of motor, and the cables which feed it with energy are lighter, handier, more easily got into position and more easily main- tained than the pipes required for either steam or compressed air. The electric Signal and the electric tele- phone will do what no other apparatus will. All these are sources of economy in themselves, and the busier the mine the greater the economies effected. But apart from these consideratfons, the electric motor and the electric sys- tem of transmitting rower is far more efficient than any other system. -En- gineering Magazine. • • Wales Is the Heir.

Bev Knowledge of Chinese. A young woman at a watering place one sun -mer made. a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man- ner. Slw called one day at a Chinese 4aundryv where she had left a shirt waist, but it could not be found as there was no entry in the book of hiero- glyphs corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the China- man found the entry. A mistake had been made, so •the entry was crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphs in tiny o aracters placed below. She was told that the waist would be laundered immediately, and she could get it tilt, next day. The next day the young woman call- ed for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashore the ex- citement of a visit to the Chinese laun- dry is not \\to be despised. The China- man to R-hllm the pink slip was pre- - sented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced. the same difficulty in finding the identify- ing character, finally saying, "Not in book." The girl answered calmly, "I can find it," and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves un- til she came to one that had an entry crossed out iyith another in tiny char- actors under at, she handed it to the Chinaman- "There it is," and, to his surprise, he found it. "You only lady I know spilt Chi- nese," he said. And the other girls looked upon her with admiration. - Kansas City World. The Unique Horn of the Unicorn. The horn of a unicorn was. shown at Windsor castle and in 1598 was valued at over £10,000. Lewis Vertomannrs, a gentleman of Rome, saw with his own eyes two unicorns presented to the sultan of Mecca by a king of Ethiopia. They were in a park of the temple of Mecca and were not much unlike a colt of 30 months of age. This was in 1503. The animal became extinct about the end of the seventeenth century. The • unicorn is re 1'eSPIIted In the he ruins at Persepolis, and it was adopted by the Persians as the emblem of speed and strength. In the middle ages it was the symbol of purity, The unicorn hated the elephant, and it used to whet its horn on a tone before It struck tbe foe in thea omen. .No family, by the way, should be without one of obese horns, the average length of which, -Is four feet. They defend from witch- craft. Thus Torquemada had one al- ways on his writing table. Further- more, a drinking cup made from one will be a safeguard against poison, as will the ground powder put in drink, and indeed the wells of the palace of St. Mark could not be poisoned in the good old days of adventure because these beneficent horns bad been, thrown into them. Unicorn's horn was formerly sold by apothecaries at $120 an ounce.-Bo8ton Journal. Pat Tolleemen. "Piave yop_ofer noticed that nearly all policemen get fat?" asked a man who keeps his eyes open. "This would seem to disprove the theory that walk- ing in the open air is a means of reduc- ing superfluous weight. 1 have kne(wn new policemen to start on their beats weighing no tore than 125 pounds. In six months they would tip the scales at 150 and in a year reach the 2^0 mark. It must be the slow sauntering in be open air that does it, for I have noticed that while policemen grow fat the house sergeants, who are confined to the stations, are invariably thin. Those who patrol the streets' gain the maxi- mum weight in about three years. The muscles then harden, and despite their app rent burden of flesh the men usn- ally develop great activity. One of the best runners and jumpers 1 know is a policeman who weighs nearly 300 pounds. Philadelphia Record.

As one approach- ed he seized it in his jaws and threw it off the stalk. The ants, seeing that the caterpillar had to&strong a position for them to overcome, resorted to strategy. They began sawing through the grass stalk. Iri a few minutes the stalk fell, and hundreds of ants pounced u' on the fallen caterpillar.

A novel expltination of the cause of thunder showers was once given a so- journer in a little Nova Scotia town by one of the inhabitants. "Do you know what makes thun- der?" the Nova Acotian inquired of his guest. "I've got a theory of my own, and I call it a pretty good one." "I should like to hear it," was the diplomatic reply. "Well," said the host slowly, "my idea is this: You know we hear about the air circulating and circulatingall the time. My notion is that the pure air from above comes down here In summer and gets foul with all the smoke and dirt and grease, and then the heat drives it up again into the cloudO and when it gets up there it's pressed on all round by the clouds com- ing together, and it explodes!

Eccentric Testators, Joseph Dalky takes the opportunity afforded -by his will of insulting his son-in-law In terms which doubtless Lad a pungency once, but which are hardly comprehensible to the modern reader: "I give to my daughter, Ann Spencer, a guinea for a ring or any other bauble she may like better; I give to the lout, her husband, one penny to .buy him a lark whistle, and this legacy I give him as a mark of my apprecia- tion of his prowess and nice honor in drawing his sword on me (at my own table), naked and unarmed as I was, and he well fortified with custard." A grewsome legacy is that of Philip Thicknesse: "1 leave my right hand, to be cut off after my death, to my son, and I desire it may be seat to him In hopes that such a sight may remind him of his duty to God after having so long abandoned the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him." Another father seems apparently to have begun his will with the determi- nation of punishing an unruly son, but, as the fairy stories say, all ends hap- pily. We refer to the will of Richard Crawshay, the founder of the famous Welsh ironworks. It runs thus: "To, my only son, who never would follow my advice and has treated me rudely in very many instances, instead of making him my executor and residuary legatee (as till this day he was) I give him £100,000." -Chambers' Journal.

The Irlrctlon, McKinley and Roosevelt swept the country like a whirlwind, having two hundred and ninety-two electoral votes to their credit, with Kentucky in doubt. Free silver and imperial- ism are dead issues, and Bryanism is repudiated in his own state, county, city, and precinct. It is a glorious victory for spund money and good government. Minnesota gives McKinley a plu- rality of over seventy thousand, Van Sant five thousand, and returns seven republican members of congress. The legislature is overwhelmingly • republican, with over ninety majority on joint ballot. Good enough. ' In this county the republicans elect a representative, auditor, sheriff; attorney, -coroner, and two commis- sioners. The democrats elect a rep- resentative, register of deeds, judge of probate, superintendent of schools, and two commissioners. McKinley's ; plurality is forty, IIeatwole's fifty-six, and Lind's plurality is reduced two hundred and seventy-three over that of two years ago. honors are there- fore easy, the republicans taking the old trick.

Her suffering grew so intense that a physician from the cities was called on Monday to assist in the ease. It was found that the young lady was suffering from two broken and dis- located ribs, instead of pleurisy as was at first thought. This condition was the result of an injury received several week since, when kiss Dilley was at home. She ran against a hay rack very forcibly, receiving the injuries from which she has since suffered uncomplainingly until her condition took a more serious turn, and medical aid became necessary. Since the dislocated members were replaced Missilly is resting much easier and wig soon. -North- fifield 1\ecover soon. -North- eld ex•s, 3( . The Result. To the Editor of The Gazette: "Great is Tammany and Croker is its prophet" (?) The results of the general election have ruthlessly checked the apotheosis to Bryanism which like unto an embalmed reptile that at the end of four years will ap- pear id a new skin with its virus greatly modified, purely democratic. In 1840 the whigs sang lots of dog- gerel, for instanee, "Malty Van's a used up man," etc. Appropos to the occasion let the republicans hum, Billy Bryan's a used up lion, with silver tokens smashed and broken, etc. P. BARTON. F. E. Woodward, who lives at Langdon, brought in ti load of prime heavy hogs to -day thaLweighed three hundred and seven poftds, and were good enough to sell at $4.65. Mr. Woodward bought these hogs and put them in,.trhe feed lot July 10th. They then weighed one hundred and ten pounds, and he proceeded to make a test lot of his feeding. He put them on shorts and corn right from the start, and they made a gain of almost two hundred pounds per head in one hundred days. Mr. Woodward is an old time feeder and shipper, and has the reputation for putting a finish on his stock before marketing them.- South St. Paul Reporter, M. Nininger Items. Mrs. T. J. Hargadon made a flying trip to the twin cities Friday. Miss Sadie Pettingill was, visiting friends at Prescott last week. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Franzmeier are rejoicing over the arrival of a new son.

Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Threepper becausecent is theme enormous amounts ofmoney cs eking investment have reduced Interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on geod property in St. 'Paul and Minneapolis, As y�rrplTyy know values e a ast verynlow -s figure At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. although estateeal s ough land issttimatedthe sat from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, legally worth more. Well selected mortgagee' for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at fivefour and one-half, ►.id, in some cases, as , low as four per cent, anu it Is thg opinion of the best financiers that, within a Short time, not isore than toto be depended upon a However, fed w per these companies will loan in smaller amounts than $10,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for 9200 as one for 950,000.

The - estate was not In the least involved, And all the variou •charities and edu- cational institution benefited under the will were settled with long before the expiration of the year allowed by . law for such business. Attention to these details did much 4v -occupy Mrs. Maynard's mind durifig the first months • of her widowhood. As she was young—she had often passed for her husband's daughter.—her mourning was not ov erpoignnnt or long endur- ing. There was an extended journey abroad, , and then she settled in her New York city house to enjoy life in her own way. .This consisted in entertaining friends of her own choosing, among whom she became a social leader, but she never aspired to lead in high society and liv- e4 quietly, considering the extent of luir fortune. Having a dread of money hunters, she skillfully spread abroad. the report that she was determined never to marry again. Among her friends was one Lewis Baxter, of whom she became quite Pond. Baxter was a war correspond- ent, and as there Ni.as no war on at that time and he wasn't of much use in ordinary journalism he had no end of time on his hands ant, by the same token; no little difficulty in making both ens meet. The first time she saw him -Irs. Maynard said to herself, "Now, I -should like to have that roan for a friend." And soon she had him for - a friend.

Then they rambled on in a talk about charities until Baxter arose to go, with the remark that he feared he was bo14- ing her. Mrs. Maynard assured him that if that were the case she would tell hint so. Convinced of her candor and admiring her frankness. Baxter sat down again. "I want to talk to you about your- self," said Mrs. Maynard calmly, and if Baxter was surprised at this he was astounded when she continued: "You don't know what to do with yourself. You are wasting your life. The truth is, my feiend, -that you ought to get married." "Get married!!" He sprang from his chair With a flush of tenger on his face and a perfectly new revelation in bit heart. .He had not known it before. He had sat with her and talked with her day after day; he had been her friend and had heard her call him her comrade; be had found her friendship grow day by days more dear to hire and more needful for him, bit he had never until now realized the fact that be was absolutely in love with her. How did he come to realize it now? Just he - cause of the few words of easy, kindly 'friendship sbe had let drop. In which she told him he ought to get married— to get married to some other woman and be Mrs. Maynard's comrade no more. "So, then," he said to his own soul, "she cares nothing about me— nothing at all—except as a friend!" Mrs. Maynard went on without seem- ing to take any notice of his emotion. If, indeed, she had noticed it. "Won't you sit down?" she asked sweetly. He sat down with something rather like a growl. "Yes," she went on; "I'm quite con- vinced that you ought to get-married— and to a woman with money." "Do you mean to annoy me?" he ask- ed angrily. "Do you really mean to say that you believe i am a man to sham love to a woman to swindle her out of her money?' ' "I didn't say a word about swindling a woman out of -her money." "No, of course you did not say that. But what else is it if one makes sham love to a woman in order to get hold of her money?' "But why make sham love to her? Why not get to love her in spite of ber money? Suppose 1 know a young wo- man wno admired you greatly and has ,money and who, I think, would marry you if you tried for her"— ."Tried for her!

"I am not," he interrupted, "and I dk'>s't think You were either." 1 "Oh, well, we live in the worts, an we have to recognize its ways and to fall In with theta more or less. Now, suppose this young woman did admire you and that I told you I thought 1 could help you and make things easy for you, why should you not begin by making love to her and end by falling love with her—before or after mer- ge?

"Rut I don't care about her. I don't want her. Who is she?" "Oh, come -now, as if I could tell you ,per name after the way in which you ave taken my offer!" "Your offer: You have no right to make any offer of the kind. You are not The Matrimonial News or what ever it is stilled," "But, now, seriously," she said, "is it fair that my friend should be cut off from all chance of marrying the man she admires and very likely loves or would come to love merely because she has a lot of honey? Is she to be left to the delicate attentions of the mere for- tune hunter?" ' "MIrs.

"I have watched the blackfish feeding on shrimp and young rock crabs amour the -stones of the cribwork of the old pier that formerly stood at Holland's Landing, Jamaica bay," says henry Brand In Rod and Gun. "They ap- proach their prey very slowly and without showing an,Y motion of their fins and body, and after succeeding in catching a shrimp they would not dart away the same as other fish do after securing food, but would remain still for awhile and begin to chew and then slowly swim away, looking for more. "The blackfish is provided with a pair of crushers situated in the back part of its mouth and consisting of two flat groups of ball shaped teeth. be- tween which they crush small crusta- ceans and mussels before swallowing them. The crushing apparatus of a four pound blackfish is about as large as.a dime. The blackfish seemingly uses its teeth for Loosening mussels from their fastenings and to draw small crustaceans from their hiding places. After the food is secured it is passed to the crushers. When it takes an angler's bait and passes it to the crusher, a peculiar succession of bites is felt by the fisherman, and many a fine one is missed by the angler being too hasty to hook it after the first Indi- cation of a flab taking the bait."

When the electric telegraph was first introduced into Chile, a stratagem w s resorted to in order to guard the p ts and wires against dainage on the Part of the natives and to niaintain the con- nection between the -strongholds on the. frontier. There were at the time be- tween 40 and 50 captive ladians in the Chilean camp.. General Pinto. in com- tuand of the operations, called them to- gether -and, pcinting to the telegraph wires. said: "Do you see those wires?" "I want you to remember not to go near or touch them, for if you do your hands will be held, and you will be un- able to get away." The Indians smiled lecredniously. Then the general made them each in succession take hold of the wire at both ends of an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed: "I command you to let go the wire!" "I can't! My hands are benumbed!" cried each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict instruetions to keep the secret. This hap tile de- sired effect, for. as might Ite expected, the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the telegraph remained un- •Laneolve's Offhand Way.

Attentio these details did much to occupy Maynard's mind during the months of her widowhood. As was young -she bad often passed her husband's daughter -her mourn was not overpoignant or long en Ing. There Waal an extended Jour abroad, and then she settled in New York city house te enjoy kif - her ottn-vay. This consisted in entertaining frie of her own choosing, among whom became a. social leader, but she ne 'aspired to leall in high society and ed quietly, considering the extent her fortune. Having a dread of mo \ hunters, he skillfully spread abro the report that she was determi never to ma ry again. 4mong her friends was one Le Bfixter, of whom she became qu fond. Baxter was a war correspo ent, and as there ''as no war on that time and he wasn't of much In ordinary journalism he had no e of time on his hands and, by the sa token, no little difficulty in maki • both ends meet. The first time s stliv hlm Mrs. Maynard said to herse "Now, I should like to have that m foe a friend." And soon she had him a friend. He became her very devot friend. "I shall see you next -when she often asked as they were partin fn, Is answer generally, was, "Whenev u like." But he never came uni ted. He never paid a fdrmal call me unless she specially 'wished it e of her "at home" afternoons. Baxter grew communicative in h brusqua way, giving the widow t benefit of his grumbling against fa for,Jceeping him unemployed. o I want another war," he said o day.- "It is terribly selfish, but we a all terribly selfish when we are har up." "But, look here, I heard of sever secrets of yours quite lately," Mr Maynard interposed. "Secrets of mine? I don't think hit e any." Oh, yes; 1 know. I have hear out it from grateful people who ou never supposed that I knew an t g about"- that- ere's nothing in that I ivould, cheaper to be dead if on might not do a good turn for some d cent folks' in distress every now an then. I don't do it because I am charitahlk or generous sort of fellow. do It beca se it pleases me." Then they rambled.on in a talk abou charities until Baxter arose to go, wit the remark that he feared he was bor Ing her. Mrs. Maynard assured him that if that were the case she woul tell hint so. Convinced of her cando and admiring her frankness. Baste sat down again. , "I want to talk to you about your self," said Mrs. Maynard calmly, an if Baxter was surprised at this he wa astounded when she continued: "You don't know what to do with yourself You are wasting your life. The truth is, my friend, that you ought to ge married." "Get married!" He sprang from his chair with a flush of fnger on his face and a perfectly new revelation in his heart. He had not known it before. He had sat with her and talked with her day after day; he had been her friend and had heard her call him her comrade; be had found her friendship grow day by daj, more dear to him and more needful for him, but he had never until now realized the fact that he was absolutely in love with her. How did he come to realize it now? Just be- cause of the few words of easy, kindly friendship she had let drop, In which she told him he ought to get married - to get married to some other woman and be Mrs. Maynard's comrade no more. "So, then," he said to lliS own soul, "she cares nothing about me - nothing at all -except as a friend!" , Mrs. Maynard went on without seem- ing to take any notice of his emotion, if, indeed, she bad noticed it. "Won't you sit down?" she asked sweetly. He sat down with something rather like a growl. "Yes," she went on; "I'm quite con- vinced that you ought to get married - and to a woman with money." "Do you mean to annoystne?" he ask- ed angrily. "Do you really meanto say that you believe I am a man to sham love to a woman to swindle her out of her money?" "I didn't say a word about swindling a woman out of her money." "No, of course you did not say that. - But what else is it if one makes sham lore to a woman In order to get hold of her money?" "But why make sham love to her? Why not get to love her in spite of her money? Suppose I know a young wo- man wno admired you greatly and has money and who, I think, would marry you if you tried for her" - "tried for her! What a way of put- ting r "My friend, do not be too excited; do not insist on riding the high horse quite so much. We are people of the world, you and I." "I am not," he interrupted, "and 1 , + dien't think You were either." 6 6 Oh, well, we live in the worm, an. we have to recognize its ways and to fall in with them more or less. Now, suppose this young woman did admire you and that I told you I thought 1 could help you and make things easy for you, why should you not begin making love to her and end by falll In love with her -before or after m riage? I don't think it matters ve much, but on tfie whole I fancy It had better begin after than before." "You are in a chaffing humor today," . he said moodily. "I? Nth 1 t • by ng ar- ry ot e eas n the world. 1 am ihinking only of your good." - "Then please don't think of it any more -in that way." . "In that way? Why, what harm could it do you to marry a_rich young woman who would be very fond of you?" "But I don't care about her. I don't waRt her.Who is she?" "Oh, come now, as if I could tell you her name after the way in which you have taken my offer!" "Your offer! You have no right to make any offer of the kind. You 'are not The Matrimonial News or what- ever it Is called." "But, now, seriously," she said, "Is it fair that my friend should be cut off from all Chance of marrying the man she admires and very likely loves or would come to love merely because she has a lot of money? Is she to be left to the delicate attentions of the mere for- tune hunter?" ' "Mrs. Maynard, I don't know any- thing about the young woman, and, without being rude, I hope, to her or to you, I must say that I can't get myself to take any interest in her or to believe .In her existence." "Oh, yes, she exists, and I am sure she loves you." "You are chaffing the again," he said sternly. "Indeed I am not." "Well, let the young woman be, at all events. I know nothing about her, and I don't believe she cares twopence about me." "Is that all you have to say "Well, if you press me, I can sy that I don't care twopence about her." "Oh, why?" "You are in a teasing moo today, and I had much better go,away. What could I say more than that I have nev- em seen her?" "But you can see her." "I don't want to see her." "But, why?" "Well, if you will have it, because I am in love with another woman! Good - by!" "No; I must hear more about this. You never told me you were in love with another woman. I thought you told me everything." "I didn't know it titi1 todar." She had guessed at all this, )•et a flush came Into her cheeks and for a moment she was silent Then she said. think now you had better go."' "I'll not go until I have told you all. I am in love with you, and I did not know it untli this very day -until just now, when you talked so complacently of my marrying some other woman." "But I didn't," she said quietly. "Didn't? Why, what do you mean? Didn't you urge me to marry a young woman with money? Didn't you urge It on me and say the young woman was In love with me?" "Why, of course I did, and I standjto It. But I didn't say it was any other young woman." "Oh!" he exclaimed, and his delight found no other word. "Sit down beside me, Lewis." she saki. "Don't you know that it is leap year?"

"I have Watched the blackfish feeding on shrimp and young rock crabs among the'stones of the eribwork of the old pier that fornierly stood at Holland's Landing, Jamaica bay," says Henry Brand in Rod and Gun. "They ap- proach their prey very slowly and without showing any motion of their fins and body, and after succeeding in catching a shrimp they would not dart away the same as other fish do aftek securing food, but would remain still for awhile and begin to chew and then slowly swim away, looking for more. "The blaekfish is provided with a pair of crushers situated in the back art of its mouth and consisting of Bat groups of ball shaped teeth, e- tween which they crush small crusta- ceans and mussels before swallowing them. The crushing apparatus of a four pound blackfish Is about as [arse as a. dime. The blackfish seemingly uses its teeth for loosening mussels from their fastenings and to draw small crustaceans from their 'siding places. After the food is secured it is passed to the crushers. When it takes an angler's bait and passes it to the crusher, a peculiar succession of bites Is felt by the fisherman, and many a fine one is missed by the angler being too hasty to hook it after the first indi- cation of a fish taking the bait." 9 She Couldn't Stand It "NO," said the beautiful actress; "I cannot be your wife.

Indigo is cultivated all over India, giving employment to millions of na- tives and thousands of foreigneri. In three districts alone In Behar, where some of the finest indigo is grown, Eu- ropean capital is invested to the ex- tent of no less than $25,000,000. Some 370.000 acres are under cultivation. There are 700 Englishmen managing and working on the "concerns," as the firctories and plantatioas are always called, and 1.500,000 natives. An indigo concern may occupy any- where between 1,000 and 10,000 acres, each cultivated acre producing on an average about 15 to 20 pounds of indi- go.

It is in the leaves that the color yielding matter chiefly resides, they being at their full- est at the time when the flower buds are about to bloom, but the- leaf, of a yellowish green color. gives no indica- tion of 'containing anything Which will yield a blue coloring matter. Toward the end of June, or as soon as the monsoon has set in, the crop is cut, and the work of manufacturing commences.

When the electric telegraph was first introduced into Chile, a stratagem was resorted to in order to guard he posts t," and wires against damage on t e part of the Datives and to maintain ite con- nection between the strongholds on the. frontier. There were at the time be- tween 40 and 50 captive Indiaus in the Chilean camp. General Pinto, in com- mand of the operations, called them to- gether and, pointing to the telegraph wires, said: "Do you see those wires?" "Yes, general." "I want you to remember not to go near or tooch them, for if you do your hands will be, held, and 3 -on will I,e un- able to get away." Time Indians smiled incredulously. Then the general made them each in succession take hold or the wire at both ends or an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed: "I command you to let go the wire!" "1 can't! My !lands are benumbed!" cried each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict instructions to keep the secret. This had the de- sired effect, for, as might he expected, the eXperience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the telegraph remained un- molested.

At a place called Kotron, on the French Ivory Coast, the natives be- lieve that to eat or destroy a turtle would mean death to the guilty one or sickness among the family.he fetich men, of which there are p1el, declare that years ago a man went sea fish - Ing. In the night his canoe was thrown upon the beach empty. Three days afterward a turtle came ashore at the same place with the man on its back alive and well. Since that time they have never eaten or destroyed' one of that species, although they enjoy other species. If one happens now to be washed ashore, there is a great commotion in the town. Firstly, the women sit down and start singing and beating sticks; next a small piece of white cloth (color must be white) is placed on the turtle's back. Food is then prepared and plac- ed on the cloth, generally plantains, rice and palm oil. Then, amid a lot more singing, dancing and antics of the fetich people, It is carried back in- to the sea and goes on its way rejoic- ing. At the time of the Roman occupation of Britain five distinct species of dogs were there, moat of which can sgtth certainty be identified with those ofhe present day. There were the house - dog, the greyhound, the bulldog, the terrier and the slowjtound. 1`12 ENCOURAGING,,T'HRIFT. A Bastness Man Who HariFound That It Pays. "I always have confidence in people who save a little money out of their salaries," said a prominent western merchant, "and I do what I can to encourage habits of thrift. I employ about 75 clerks in my establishment, to whom I pay weekly salaries ranging from $10 to $40. Naturally enough more of them get the former than the latter amount, but they are none the less worthy on that account. "In the beginning, when I employed only two people, I lived pretty close to them, and 1 knew how thriftless they could be when they d.re not encour- aged to be otherwise. I have discharg- ed more clerks for that sort of thing than for any other cause. They spent their salaries, large or small as might bet in a reckless fashion and let debt accumulate quite regardless of the rights of creditors. - "AS my business increased, and with it my profits and my force of people, I began to give the matter more study, and in the end, when I felt able to be of material assistance In encouraging thrift and honesty, I proposed a yearly recognition to those who .would save something out of their salaries. It was small at first, but was so successful that today I haven't, a clerk who has not some kind of a bank account and not one who willfully refuses to pay his debts. When we get a hew one who refuses to take advantage of the opportunities afforded, we let him go at the end of the, first year. "My present plan is to double the savings of all clerks )rho receive $10, $12 and $15 a week; to add 25 per cent tq all who receive from $15 to $25 and 10 for those over $25. A clerk on $15 a week or under cannot save much, but as a rule that class of clerks have no one to maintain but themselves, and if one cannot save more than $25 out of his year's labor It is rather pleasant for him to get $25 clear profits - Those who receive the larger amounts usually have families, and their sav- ings are not large, but whatever they are they are comfortably increased. "One of my $1,200 a year clerks, with a wife and two small children, saved $400 last year, and my check for $100 additional was deposited to his account the day after New Year's. A young woman in charge of a department at $900 a year bas almost paid for a nice little cottage in the suburbs out of her extra, and so the list runs on through every branch of the business. 1 make It a condition that all current obliga- tions must be met at the end of the year, so that the savings are actual net profit. "Every year some of the clerks are net entitled to any extra, but if this is the result of sickness 1 assume a part or all of the doctor's bills. You may say it costs something for me to do this and I ani under no obligation to do it, and you are right. But 1 have the best class of clerks In the city, and as a result I guess I don't lose enough by it to necessitate an assignment at an early date," and the merchant smil- ed with very evident satisfaction, - Washington Star. - Extent of Florist Industry. The florist business in the United States is by no means an unimportant industry. It is estimated that the re - tall value of flowers sold annually is $12,500,000 and of potted plants $10,- 000,000. There are no less than 10,000 establishments in the United States de- voted to the growing of plants under glass. -Chicago Chronicle. Dust of the sea Is one of the mysier- les which perplex sailors.

Nowlan is the inventor 1 111 a domestic garbage burner which ,can be attached to any gas range or coal stove, says the Chicago Record. It consists of a double sheet iron cylin- der drum with a perforated bottom and a pipe that carries the fumes up the chimney. In the inside cyclinder is placed the garbage, and beneath this the gas is lighted. The refuse is rap- idly consumed, and no odor or smoke results, because the space between the inner- and outer eylinder allows the air to circulate and carry off the fumes. The appliance is 14 inches high, the outside cylinder being 10 inches in diameter, while the inside is 8 inches. The burner will be made in different sizes, and Mrs. Nowlan expects it to DOMESTIC GARBAGE BURNER. revolutionize the garbage question in the larger cities. Mrs. Nowlan has used the burner for seven months in her flat at 591 Lasalle avenue, and the janitor has been kept guessing as to the disposition she has made of her, garbage. Mrs. Nowlan is confident she has dis- covered the secret for making a model city as far as cleanliness is concerned.. She is also confident that if the women of Chicago can be. induced to try her invention they will have no use tor garbage men. New Autosaatte Una. William Starling Burgess, a junior at Harvard, has invented an automatic rapid firing gun which bas met with the approval of Commander Richard) Wainwright of Gloucester fame and of Commander Seaton Schroeder, him- self the inventor of the Driggs-Schroe- der gun. ,Mr. Burgess is the son of the Resigner of the Puritan and the May- flower. His gun is of the Maxim class which operates ty recoil, whereby the shell is extracted and the new car- tridge put in position. but his inven- tion does away wttb the aid of a drum or other device at the muzzle and with eyclinders of any kind. It differs from its fellows in that the entire energy of the recoil Is absorbed by the compres- sion of a single spiral spring. All bar- rel pressure Is absent, and another scheme prevents jamming. The escape of gas I. assured, and shell rupture seems to be practically Impossible. Finally, the gun will fire 300 shots a minute. Young Burgess is only 21, but saw actual service in the Spanish war and took part in the engagement with Alfonso XIII at Marie].-Phila1elphla Times.

" It Is an established fact that the United States now holds the record for rapid development of fruit industries, such as the growing of oranges and lemons. peaches and grapes. As a na- tion we eat more fruit than any other and grow considerably more than we eat. Eighty millions of'dollarrs a year Is the figure for strawberries alone. A hundred millions would scarcely cover the value of all the grapes marketed. , Peaches we raise in astonishing quant titles In orchards containing as many us 300,000 trees, but our banner crop so far as fruit is concerned is apples. tVe have produced as many as 210,000,- 000 barrels in a single season and have sold as high as 3,000,000 barrels in England alone. We carry in cold stor- age every winter anywhere from 6,000,- 000 to 10,000,000 barrels of the crop of the season before in order to secure better prices. Ships weigh anchor in New York three at a time In a single week bearing apples to Europe. In- deed it Is one of the greatest industries the country has ever witnssed and promises to take rank as the chief fruit crop of the world, says a writer in Pearson's. Mills county and Indeed all the south- western section of Iowa Is truly a wonderful apple country, but not much more Important than one of a score of regions in various parts of the country which produce apples. .In that county alone there are over 9,000,000 trees, averaging at the lowest ten bushels a tree per annum. One hundred and fifty thousand of these trees are in one orchard. The total output is close on to 8,000,000 barrels, or enough to sup- ply the present American sale to Eng- land. New York, however, has two noun= ties much smaller than Mills which do even better than this, and as a state It raises three times as many apples as Iowa. The counties referred to are Niagara and Orleans, In the w^stern tier, which together raise 7,Ot0,000 barrels of the best kind of market ap plea. All through this area are or- chards holding 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 and occasionally 100,000 trees, which in blossoming make of the roadside a paradise. Tallest of Living Men. The biggest living man is Lewis Wil- kins, who is now arousing great inter- est in the scientific circles of Europe. Wilkins was born on a farm near St. Paul in 1874. When he was but 16 years old, he measured six feet in height and now has grown to the tre- mendous height of 107% inches -just three-quarters of an inch less than nine feet -and weighs 364 pounds. There have bees r other tall men and women before Wilkins, and scientists have striven in vain to account for these freaks of nature. Only lately a plausible story has been put forward by a French physician, Dr. Marie, who says that giantism is nothing more or less than a disease. This disease gen- erally occurs in patients between the ages of 18 and 35 and Is first called acromegaly (from two Greek words meaning "enlargement of the extrem- ities"). If the patient is not attacked until atter tie Is 18, the ends of the bones In the arms and legs are enlarg- ed and prolonged slightly, but if this disease has attacked a child at or soon after birth giantism Is the result. The bones are prolonged all along their length. grow unnaturally, and the re- sult is a giant. When you see a big man, it is there- fore a quest`on whether he is unusual- ly strong o whether he Is a sufferer from acroniegaly. All giants have not been acromegalic, according to Dr. Ma- rie. He mentions two giants in the French Army who did not belong to this class. One was Chti,ries Freut, a cavalry soldier. who was 6 feet 11 inches, and another was Marnat, a drum major in the Nineteenth regi- ment of infantry. w,.o measured 6 feet 9 inches. Perhaps the greatest giant who ever lived before Wilkins was Charles Byrne, an Irishman. He measured 9 feet 2 inches. His skeleton Is still pre- served, proving beyond question his enormous size. He was pro...1bly acro- megalic. Other giants were Constantine, born c. at Zurich, Switzerland, 8 feet 1 inch; Herold, born at Leipsic, 7 feet 5 inches, and Lady Emma, 8 feet 1 inch. -Gold- en Penny. Complaints of Russian Wheat. Vice Consul General Hanauer of Frankfort writes 4q the state depart- ment: "The Berlin Association of Grain and Provision Dealers publishes s warning to its members against grain importations from southern Russia, saying it has received reliable Informa- tion 'that Russian exporters in Odessa and Nicolajew (ports of the Black sea) have of late. revived the fraudulent practice, prevalent there in former years. of mixing sand, mud and worth- less grains with their shipments of wheat and barley destined for abroad.' The association is now considering what steps to take to effectually stop, this fraud." Soap Saving Device. A Beaver Falls (Pa.) inventor bas in- vented an apparatus for saving soap at the wash basin. The soap is forced on to the forked ends of a pivoted rod. When it is desired to use the soap, the rod is bent down into the water, and, when released It will fly back to its position, thus preventing the waste, of soap that comes from carelessly leav- ing the bar in the basin. • The only proper place for Lite pratti• cal joker is the "dangerous" ward of an Insane asylum. -Philadelphia Gar matte. z; m. • 111111111111MINNIMNIM 11111 - DEFECTIVE PAGE 1 ./e THE GAZETTE.

"Goat is the baue of existence, a very tricksy Ariel among diseases," the old doctor said in las slurring southern voice, as reported by the St. Louis Globe -Democrat. "You never know just where It will take you. It has as ninny ways of showing itself as you have fingers and toes -yes, and legs, arms and muscles generally.

With good reason too. Lactic acid, the sour of buttermilk, attacks and dissolves every sort of earthy deposit in the blood vessels. Thus it keeps the veins and arteries so supple and free running there can be no clogging up, hence no deposit of irritating calcareous matter around the joints nor of poisonous waste in the muscles. It is the stiffen- ing and narrowing of the blood vessels which bring on senile decay. Butter- milk, I firmly believe, postpones the period of it 10 to 20 years. "The gouty diathesis is unquestion- ably hereditary, but the exciting cause of actual gout is sluggish c.xcretion. Buttermilk gently stimulates all the excretories-liverskin and kidneys. It does even more in toning the stomach, and furnisliing it the material from wh)ch to make rich, red, healthy blood. As a nutrient, buttermilk is wholly un- like sweet milk. Its food value may be less, by chemical tests, but in every other way it is very much more. If you have gout or a gouty tendency, drink a quart of buttermilk every 24 hours, ea no meat or sweets, let alone pastrieg, spiced things and wine, but allow yourself all the eggs, game, fresh fruits and vegetables, especially salads, you can consume, and unless you are a very 111 conditioned person you will shortly be amazed at your own Improvement. I have seen almost hopeless cripples cured by six months of ash cakes and buttermilk three times a day. the ash cake saturated with good grass butter and supple- mented with roasted eggs, potatoes and nuts. "Since ash cake is beyond the reach of city people, they must make out as best they may with graham crackers, shredded wheat and so on. Hot soda biscuits occasionally do not hurt, pro- vided they are light and well baked, but rolls, flour muffins, bread of every sort -indeed, anything belonging to the tribe of ferments Is best let alone. As to tbe buttertullk, the quart is the minimum. If you have appetite and capacity for three quarts, so much the better." THE THRIFTY WOMAN. In Her Case, an of Old, Virtue Is Its Own and Only Reward.

To the Editor of The Gazette: Permit me through the columns of The Gazette to thank all those who during the recent campaign supported me for the offlce for which I was a candidate, many of whom did so re- gardless of the fact that I was not of their political faith. Although fal- ling a few votes short ofelection, the endorsement at the polls of practical- ly one-half of the voters of Dakota County is a favor which I shall always hold in grateful remem- brance. Yours very truly. P. II. O'KEEFE. A Victim of the Spanish War. Augustus P. Mitchell, a member of Company I), Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment, died at the soldiers' 'male last Saturday from kidney trouble, aged forty-two years. He was for- merly of this city, and had " been engineer of the Iowa City, a joint owner with S. J. Truax of the Ster- ling, engineer of the Luella, and since his return from Manila engin- eer of the Flora Clark. Although of a retiring disposition, he was greatly liked by his associates. The funeral was held on Sunday, attended by the members of the okl company. The Visit to Red Wing. The Republican Club and citizens to the number of over One hundred, accompanied by the Military Band, went to Red Wing Thursday evening by special train in charge of J. A. Rausman, yardmaster: to participate in the eelebration of the recent re- publican victories. A igrand torch- light procession took place, followed by addresses at the Opera House, Gov. S. R. VanSant being the princi- pal speaker. The parity returned about midnight. Great Lack of An Editor. "For two years all efforts to cure eczema in the palms of my hands failed," writes Editor H. N. Lester, of Syracuse, Kan., "then I was wholly cured by Buciclen's Arnica Salve." It's the world's best for eruptions, sores, and all skin diseases. Only 25c at Rude's. Another Trolley Bicycle. A Detroit inventor has taken out a patent on a suspended bicycle trolley which consists of a steel frame sus- pended from an overhead wire. The frame is so built that it will hold at ordinary bicycle, together with the nec-8 essary mechanism for communicating the power made on the pedals by the feet with the wheels overhead, which run along the wire. In this manner the frame, bicycle and rider travel swiftly along the wire, with a mini- mum of resistance. It has been tested for a short distance, it is said, with sueeess.-Popular Science. A Charming Chinese Woman. I Mrs. Wu, wife of Minister Wu, was reared unlike most Chinese girls. She was fortunate enough to be educated. She had a private tutor and was taught "the general things," literature and his- tory. "What with the little hands and feet," says the Washington Post, "the sweet smile, the temper that knows its away, the ebony hair and grace in the movement of her fan, she is charming enough -a dainty little picture from the quaint land across the seas. Like the minister, Mrs. Wu is very popular, not only In her immediate neighborhood, but everywhere she bas been in Wash- ington." Cern Fritters. Two cups of cooked corn, two eggs, one cup of milk, one spoonful of bak- ing powder, one eup of Hour, half a cup of sugar. Have some beef suet simmering in a frying pan, drop in a spoonful of the batter and fry brown. Serve with maple sirup or butter sauce. country, far from the semidaily grocer and the possibility of "sending the chil- dren out'' for the emergency spool of thread or bottle of paregoric, her well stored shelves and closets invite the in- cursions of careless neighbors who "knew Mrs. C. never is out of any- thing." If she be an economist of time and thus incur the reproach of having more leisure than usually pertains to women In her circumstances, she is the prey of the morning caller who doesn't "mind coming here at any hour, for, as I tell people, Mrs. C. is so systematic she never seems to have any work to do," or she is invited to contribute liberally to other people's church fairs because she "has plenty of time." Such services may be given ungrudg- ingly in every case, but that does not alter the fact that in the long run they represent a drain on her pocketbook and her nervous force which would not have been demanded of her but for her actual superiorities in executive mat- ters. But when a thrifty woman came to a philosopher, making her moan in some such words as these I have writ- ten, the philosopher said, "Well, would you rather be the other kind of wom- an?". And, on reflection, the thrifty woman owned that, as of old, virtue is its own reward. "But still," she persisted, "I do think there lught to be some social adjust- ment bY which the economist might be saved from becoming a promoter of thriftlessness in others." -Good House - keening. The Scheme PalAed. In "Under Three Flags In Cuba," by Musgrave, the author tells bow a scheme was hatched to capture the no- torious General Weyler: General Weyler walked nightly down the Prado with only an aid and three secret police sauntering behind. Some Cubans often debated with me the feasibility of seizing him there one night, dragging him down the steps to the Punta beach and shipping him down the coast to Gomez, to be held as a hostage for all Cuban prisoners. This would have been easy 1 u the darkness with a launch and a tug in the offing that could race the obsolete boats in the harbor. We worked persisently in planning this. The guards were to be overpow- ered by sudden onslaught from the rear, the general seized, pinioned and embarked. Lack of funds delayed the attempt. Finally we chartered a tug in Key West, but the ower drew back at the last, and just as another boat was offered Weyler was recalled. The Practical Side of It. "There is so little money in litera- ture," said the wife, "that I think you would be wise to choose some otter profession. Why, the man who runs the fee wagon makes more than you do, the butcher goes out driving every Sunday, the baker wears a beaver and a linen collar, and the real estate pen has three diamonds in a white shirt, to say nothing of the.cdal man, who goes to sleep in church on a velvet pil- low every Sunday the Lord sends!" "But, Molly, think of genlus-what ant I to do with that?" "The Lord only knows, John! But how nice it would be if you could only split it into kindling wood at so much a cord, or swap it off for a barrel of flour and a sugar cured ham!" -Atlanta Con• stitution. • What She Does.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the .medical fraternity. Catarrh being a oonstltutiohal dis- ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem,thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na. ture in doinglts work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they of- fe,f one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. SedS for list of testimonials. Address, ' 5'. J.

Hastings. Minn. I WANT MONEY TO LOAN. Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay. because the enormousemounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low t(ture. I beg to call your attention to.the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know.the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 810,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for *200 as one for 050,000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from 5100 to. 15, erty which is unquestionable sec y. I have no difficulty in secures� all the money I can place in large amounts,"but cannot always procure small amounts .(less than 810,000) and I have many applications for loans of from $300 to $5,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept itt' force, and all the lender has to do is to cut theooupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly eaJl upon me, or write, and I will give you full .Nttormatinn. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and oall upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

Mr. George Gregory sat in his private office surveying with anything but a pleasant countenance some papers that lay on the desk before hips. Mr..ereg- ory, the head of the well known city firm of Gregory, Jackson & Co., was man of about 55 to. -6O years of age, rather massive of form and 'decidedly heavy of face. He thoroughly under- stood the art of- getting money by trade, and his substantial house and grounds at Surbiton testified to the truth of this; but, to credit him with any amount of imagination, to judge by his face, would have been a foolish thing to do. How utterly astonished and amused his friends‘ would have been could they have seen the correspondence which lay before him at that moment! But not even his wife and daughter knew his secret; notteven did his confiden- tial clerk or the junior partner know anything of the mysterious ckets which from time to time arrive at the office addressed to "Harold 1 intent, Esq., 113A St. Mark's Buildings, E. C.," but the postman who brought such packages dropped them into the pri- vate box of office 113A, and Mr. Greg- ory alone had the key. Mr. Gregory picked up for the third or fourth, time a typewritten letter and read to himself as follows: THE CuEAPsIDE Msoesten, LONDON, July 27, 1899. )j Dear Sir—After reading your story, entitled "The Detective's Dilemma," I have no alternative but to return it. The matter and style are as feeble as the others you sent. You appear to be very young and to possess an utter lack of grasp of matters or ideas. I do not wish to discourage you, but your line is evidently not literature, and I should advise you not to waste any more time in scribbling such effusions as you have been sending here. Yours faithfully, Tam Enema. Harold Vincent, Esq. Mr. Gregory brought his fist down upon the table with a erash, "Well;" he ejaculated, "I've bad a good many rejections, but never one that came up to this. It's worse than 1 a printed form! I never heard such Impudence in all my life! And to think that such an idiot as this should deprive the public of the chance of reading really good things and proba- bly- get as much as my junior clerk for doing it! But they're all a set of fools," he added savagely as he unlock- ed a drawer in his writing table and disclosed a bundle of rejected MSS. that bad evidently done long and serv- iceable duty—through the post. However, before be left his office that afternoon he again unlocked that fatal drawer, sorted out another MS., put it in an envelope and deliberately directed it to the editor of The Cheap- side Magazine, 682 West Fleet street, E. C. "I'll try him again," he muttered savagely, "but I won't condescend to answer his letter. If he doesn't accept this, he's the biggest fool in all Lon- don, for it's the vett best thing I've P written." As be went to the station he posted it The next morning the editor found it with a batch of others. He opened it casually, glanced at its contents and exclaimed: "Another! Well, that'll lie by till I get back from my holidays." • • • • • • • It was about a month later. The August sun was pouring down his warmth upon the sand cliffs of healthy Cromer. The beach was crowded with visitors. The golf links were positive- ly dangerous with the continuous fusil- lade of white balls. Seated on the grassy cliff top, just at the edge of the links, looking down on the quaint old town, was a bright, merry looking girl of about 20, with a face decidedly pretty, the more so because of the pleasing smile that played around her dark eyes and mouth. Her companion waw. a tall, good look- ing young man of some 30 years of age. He was dressed in flannels, with a straw bat on the back of his head. "Only another week and I must be back at work," be was saying, "but it's been a delightful holiday. I never thought when I ran down here to see the Johnsons for. a couple of days that I should have staid so long or enjoy- ed myself so much." She avoided the admiration of his eves and gazed into the dim distance. "I, too, have enjoyed my holTfra,, very much, Mr. Ashleigh." "May, I say," he continued, after a short pause, "that I hope this happy holiday of ours need not come to an end, Miss Gregory? You know what I mean." She raised h eyes an looked at him with a radia t smile. "It need not, is f as I m con- cerned," she said s y. And the -Aug sun beamed down upon them with huge smile.

Mr. Gregory bad bee duly prepared and coaxed and p railed upon to ask Frank Ashleigh to dinner. He had also called upon t Johnsons and beeu assured that As leigh was a model young man and receipt of a good income. After some humming and hawing both sides the subject was dilly rest ed and discussed. "May t ask what your income Mr. Ashleigh?" said the old gentlema • "Well, altogether I am drawing nes ly $4,000 a year." The other poured out a glass of po and drank it with a satisfactory gulp "You are in the publishing trade, a you not?" Frank Ashleigh smiled. - "I ata partly an author and part an editor." "Eh? What's that you say?" "I make between $1,000 and $1,500 ear by writing"— "How the dickens do you do i How, in heaven's name, is it done ried George Gregory in unbounde dmiration. "Why, I—never mind.

"My dear child, you don't understand business. Sometimes it 1s necessary to put young men to the test." An hour later Mr. Gregory and Frank Ashleigh were closeted together in the study. . "Well, well," said Mr. Gregory at the conclusion of the interview. "You must excuse what happened, but a par'ent's feelings, young man—a parent's feel- ings are not always to be controlled, and— and—I completely broke down un- der them on that occasion.

"I've had an- awful wigging over a story I've published," he said, "and I've caught it hot from the firm. 1 tried to do the author a kindness," went on the editor, "but this is what comes of it. The worst of it is, he's sent me another batch of stories. What am I to do to them?" "Burn them—I mean return them," said Mr. Gregory. They were returned and burned.— Harmsworth Magazine. The Arch of Chinese Origin. The Chinese structures that impress the engineering observer most strongly are the bridges. the pagodas, the city walls and certain details of building construction. The arch, that beautiful structure from the scientific as well as the a.stbetic point of view, is generally believed to be of Roman origin. It was not known to or at least never used by the Greeks, and although the shape appears In certain specimens of Hindoo architecture it is of false vari- ety—that is, a succession of protruding corbels. In China, on the other hand, we find it of most widespread and gen- eral application, and examination shows that the principles involved are thoroughly understood. The universal use of the design in all parts of the country and the undoubted antiquity of so many of the existing examples clearly demonstrate that it long ante- dates any possible foreign suggestions and go a long way to establish it as of Chinese origin, a department, however, which, like printing and gunpowder, never passed beyond the national bor- ders.—Engineering Magazine. The End of the Storm. "After a long rainy day," said Mr. Goslington, "with the rain falling ceaselessly and with seemingly every prospect of its keeping on falling all dight and the next day and all the next week, when i have stopped looking out of the window to see if it was going to clear up and have settled down, with curtains drawn. to comfort and a book. I hear, after nightfall, somebody pass- ing by in the street whistling. That meaus always just one thing—the storm is over, and the weather has begun to clear, and when 1 go to the window and look out now I see that the side- walks begin to show dry patches; not only has the rain ceased, but things have already begun to dry up. "I have never known this sign to fail, and I have never known a long drawn storm whose final happy clearing away did not set some cheerful hearted per- son whistling."—New York Sun. A Bishop's Retort. At a dinner party a young man was once talking rather foolishly about Darwin and his books, and he said to the bishop of Winchester (Wilberforce), "My lord, have you read Darwin's last book on the 'Descent of Man?' " "Yes, I have," said the bishop, whereupon the young man continued: "What non- sense it is talking of our being de- scended from apes! Besides, I can't see the use of such stuff. I can't see what difference it would make to me if my grandfather was an ape." "No," the bishop replied; "1 don't see that it would. But it must have made an amazing difference to your grand- mother!" The young man had no more to say. A Faithful Likeness, Artist—Here is the portrait of your wife which— Mr. Richman—Ah! It's very like her. Artist—She—er—lem--she didn't pay for it. She said you'd do that. Mr. Richman—Ahs Still more like her.—Philadelphia Press. Two Pointers as to the Goat, "You may go into the goat business and educate the people of the middle west to eat goat meat," said Wiley 0. Cox yesterday, "but you will not learn from books what my father learned from experience," and then Mr. Cox gave away a trick of the trade. "The man who goes in for Angoras will find that it is true they will jmp anything under 100 feet high and cmb a sapling. They will get at the n igh- bor's wash as- sure as it goes on the line, and there will be lingerie to pay for. But if you would be on the safe side and keep the billy there turn him up and cut away the little creeper that you will find at the bottom of the hoof. It will not hurt him to lose it, but it ruins his ambition as a mountebank. It will save lots of trouble to have a Chiropodist get at the Angora with a nail trimmer." Goat meat cannot be distinguished from mutton ordinarily. In every car of sheep that comes from New Mexico there are sure to be from two Wee doz- en goats in the lot. They all go to the same block at the packers, and the good wife who takes home goat's chops for lamb chops is never the wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat is only a goat when he has his pelt on. After that he is a sheep.—Kansas City Journal. Cheaper Than a Funeral. In a certain North Dakota town there are two physicians, one with a long record of cures and the other popularly rated as "no good." i1t The favored doctor found his services in great request, --but as payment *as not always,forthcomilig he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay In advance, One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away. the wife of one of whom was se- riously Ili. He told them to go to the other doctor. but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico. "In that case my fee is $10, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doc- tor was obdurate and shut down his window. He waiteki, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: "I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more." Shakespeare In the Bible. In Shakespeare's name lies the key to a wonderful cryptogram. The spell- ing "Shakespeare" was the poet's nom de plume, while "Shakespere" was his name, an evident change from "Shakes - pear." In each of the two spellings last given are ten letters—four vowels and six consonants. Cgdab!ne these two figures, and we have the number 46, the key to the mystery. Turning to the Forty-sixth Psalm in the revised version, It is found that the psalm is divided into three portions, each one ending with "selah." Remem- ber the number -46, - Counting 46 words from --the begin- ning of the psalm, one reads the word "shake" in the first portion, and count- ing 46 words from the end of the psalm one reaches the word "spear." There is "Shakespear" as plainly as letters can make it.—London Answers. Siberian Luxuries. The three great luxuries in Siberia are churches, theaters and museums. Even the smaller villages can usually be sighted from afar by means of the white walls and the towering, dome shaped cupolas of their churches. These are all amply supplied with bells whose rich tones roll in majestic har- mony over distant hill and vale and break the monotony of the peasants' daily toll. Inside these churches are highly ornamented with paintings, and they are presided over by married priests, who take a deep and genuine interest in even the poorest of the flock. An Amateur Critic. Here Is a schoolboy's criticism of Sir Walter Scott in an examination paper which the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser vouches for: "Walter Scott was a great poit. When he was dyeing, he felt it coming on, so be wrote sum tuch- ing lines which be ment for himself: "The way was long the wind was cold the minstrel was inferul old, "0 may we all feel the same wen death catches hold of us."

Sympathy Not What Was Wanted, A native of the mountain district of Kentucky had occasion. to go on a journey recently and before starting took out an accident policy. He chanc- ed to be one of the victims of a railway collision, and the next morning his widow, armed with a newspaper re- port, in which his name was mention- ed among the killed, called on the agent of the insurance company and demanded the money. "But, madam," said the agent, "we will have to have more definite proof before we can pay your claim." "More proof!" exclaimed the bereav- ed woman. "Why, he's dead'rn a door- nail, I reckon." "Possibly, my dear madam," an- swered the polite agent, "and I'm very sorry." "Sorry! You are sorry, are you?" "I certainly am, madam. I sincerely sympathize with you in your sad af- fliction." "But hain't you goin to give Inc the money what's comin to me?" "Not today. Your claim will have to be investigated first." "That's just like a good fer nothin man," angrily retorted the bereaved woman. "You all are mighty perlite 'bout things so long as they hain't costin you nothin, but the minnet a poor, lone female does git a chance to git holt of a leetie spendin money you got the gall to say you're sorry." And the indignant female slammed the door.—Chicago News. Telegraphers' Grip. "I have lost my grip." This phrase is applied by men to all kinds of failures. One of the technical usages of losing one's grip is in the case of telegraph operators. Many of the most skilled operators suffer at times from a loss of the "grip" and are compelled to give way tempo- rarily to a substitute. This "grip" is the hold on the key, and the Moment the operator begins to lose the control of this "grip" he realizes a rest, al- though for only a brief time, is due him. Another but unpleasant term applied to this loss of "grip" Is "telegraphers' paralysis." It shows itself iu many curious ways, all showing that the muscles_.hrotugbt into play in working the key are badly worn. One of the most skillful operators in Louisville, who is subject to these at- tacks, cannot sen'P." The Morse manual calls for3-tots for this let- ter. The operator in question has by some book or crook lost the power to stop at the fifth dot, and it is a com- mon thing for him to warn the taker to look out for his "P's." ntly he asked a fellow operator to tch him send "P's" and to stop him fit the end of the fifth dot. It re- sulted that, although he would be• warned at the fourth dot, the fingers, no longer Mastered by the brain, would continue dotting beyond the fifth.— Le?isville Courier -Journal. Quick Witted. "It was simply an exhibition of nerve and quick wit," said the old banker who was dining at his club with a number of friends. "No one but the paying Miler knew what was happen- ing at the time, and what might have been a tragedy was turned into a com- edy by his quick wit. "During the noon hour one day an old man approached the paying -teller and presented a check for $1,000,000, With it was a badly written letter to the effect that if the Immediate pay- ment of the check was not forthcoming the teller would have his head blown off. He was nothing but a crank, but he had come armed for business, and if the wit of the paying teller had failed him for an instant there might have been a tragedy. But the paying teller coolly took up the check, glanced at it and then handed ,it back with the re- mark that the crank had neglected to put a stamp upon it. In an instant the crank was full of apologies at his over- sight and departed to get a stamp. It took but a moment to notify the police, and the crank was put where there is no danger of his demanding the pay- ment of any more $1,000,000 checks at the point of a gun."—Detroit Free Press. Naming the Chinese Baby. In China girls are called instead of Mary Ann or Marguerite "Spring Peach," "Cloudy Moon," "Celestial Happiness" or what may not be con- sidered so nice, "Come -along -a -little - brother" or "Add -a -younger -brother" or "Lead -everlasting -younger -broth- ers." The latter means that a son wo ld have been more welcome than a Ilttl�"go away child," as they call the girls.` They belong to the family of the husbands to be and do not count in the family of their birth, so that when a Chinaman is asked, "How many chil- dren have you?" he makes no count of the girls, although he may have ten. The boys only he counts, and his reply will indicate only the number of boys. He gives his sons such names as "Ancestral Piety," "Ancestral Knowl- edge," "Practical Industry," "Able to Sing Out," "Second God of Learning," "Excite the Clouds," "Beginning of Joy," "All Virtue Complete." The lit- tle slaves who begin life as household drudges before they graduate lower answer to such names as "Aa You Please," "Sparrows' Crumbs," ^'joy to Serve," "Your Happiness," "Not For Me."—Kansas City Journal. - The Seminary Kind.

There is a young man out in Ger- mantown who has developed into a chronic matchmaker. This is all the more remarkable because of the fact that the young woman to whom he had been engaged jilted him and returned the ring—a handsome solitaire. The average man who meets with an expe- rience like this usually poses as a misanthrope and rails bitterly at matri- mony. It seems to have just the oppo- site effect upon this Germantown than, Otho is noted for bis parsimonious hab- Ever since his own engagen)ent was broken off be has been doing ng Elis best to make matches among his friends. He would tell a girl how much a cer- tain young man thought of her and then pour a tale into the young man's ears about how deeply in love with him the girl was. These tactics he pursued so frequently as to excite comment. A short time ago his efforts resulted in an announced engagement, and the matchmaker lost no time in making a proposition to the prospective Benedict. Then it developed that his only inter- est in throwing his friends of opposite sexes at each other's heads was that he might sell the engagement ring that had been returned to Itim.

Mr. George Gregory sat in his private office surveying with anything but a pleasant countenance some papers that lay on the desk before hips. Mr..ereg- ory, the head of the well known city firm of Gregory, Jackson & Co., was man of about 55 to. -6O years of age, rather massive of form and 'decidedly heavy of face. He thoroughly under- stood the art of- getting money by trade, and his substantial house and grounds at Surbiton testified to the truth of this; but, to credit him with any amount of imagination, to judge by his face, would have been a foolish thing to do. How utterly astonished and amused his friends‘ would have been could they have seen the correspondence which lay before him at that moment! But not even his wife and daughter knew his secret; notteven did his confiden- tial clerk or the junior partner know anything of the mysterious ckets which from time to time arrive at the office addressed to "Harold 1 intent, Esq., 113A St. Mark's Buildings, E. C.," but the postman who brought such packages dropped them into the pri- vate box of office 113A, and Mr. Greg- ory alone had the key. Mr. Gregory picked up for the third or fourth, time a typewritten letter and read to himself as follows: THE CuEAPsIDE Msoesten, LONDON, July 27, 1899. )j Dear Sir—After reading your story, entitled "The Detective's Dilemma," I have no alternative but to return it. The matter and style are as feeble as the others you sent. You appear to be very young and to possess an utter lack of grasp of matters or ideas. I do not wish to discourage you, but your line is evidently not literature, and I should advise you not to waste any more time in scribbling such effusions as you have been sending here. Yours faithfully, Tam Enema. Harold Vincent, Esq. Mr. Gregory brought his fist down upon the table with a erash, "Well;" he ejaculated, "I've bad a good many rejections, but never one that came up to this. It's worse than 1 a printed form! I never heard such Impudence in all my life! And to think that such an idiot as this should deprive the public of the chance of reading really good things and proba- bly- get as much as my junior clerk for doing it! But they're all a set of fools," he added savagely as he unlock- ed a drawer in his writing table and disclosed a bundle of rejected MSS. that bad evidently done long and serv- iceable duty—through the post. However, before be left his office that afternoon he again unlocked that fatal drawer, sorted out another MS., put it in an envelope and deliberately directed it to the editor of The Cheap- side Magazine, 682 West Fleet street, E. C. "I'll try him again," he muttered savagely, "but I won't condescend to answer his letter. If he doesn't accept this, he's the biggest fool in all Lon- don, for it's the vett best thing I've P written." As be went to the station he posted it The next morning the editor found it with a batch of others. He opened it casually, glanced at its contents and exclaimed: "Another! Well, that'll lie by till I get back from my holidays." • • • • • • • It was about a month later. The August sun was pouring down his warmth upon the sand cliffs of healthy Cromer. The beach was crowded with visitors. The golf links were positive- ly dangerous with the continuous fusil- lade of white balls. Seated on the grassy cliff top, just at the edge of the links, looking down on the quaint old town, was a bright, merry looking girl of about 20, with a face decidedly pretty, the more so because of the pleasing smile that played around her dark eyes and mouth. Her companion waw. a tall, good look- ing young man of some 30 years of age. He was dressed in flannels, with a straw bat on the back of his head. "Only another week and I must be back at work," be was saying, "but it's been a delightful holiday. I never thought when I ran down here to see the Johnsons for. a couple of days that I should have staid so long or enjoy- ed myself so much." She avoided the admiration of his eves and gazed into the dim distance. "I, too, have enjoyed my holTfra,, very much, Mr. Ashleigh." "May, I say," he continued, after a short pause, "that I hope this happy holiday of ours need not come to an end, Miss Gregory? You know what I mean." She raised h eyes an looked at him with a radia t smile. "It need not, is f as I m con- cerned," she said s y. And the -Aug sun beamed down upon them with huge smile.

Mr. Gregory bad bee duly prepared and coaxed and p railed upon to ask Frank Ashleigh to dinner. He had also called upon t Johnsons and beeu assured that As leigh was a model young man and receipt of a good income. After some humming and hawing both sides the subject was dilly rest ed and discussed. "May t ask what your income Mr. Ashleigh?" said the old gentlema • "Well, altogether I am drawing nes ly $4,000 a year." The other poured out a glass of po and drank it with a satisfactory gulp "You are in the publishing trade, a you not?" Frank Ashleigh smiled. - "I ata partly an author and part an editor." "Eh? What's that you say?" "I make between $1,000 and $1,500 ear by writing"— "How the dickens do you do i How, in heaven's name, is it done ried George Gregory in unbounde dmiration. "Why, I—never mind.

Be posted them a registered envelope, and he wen back to his suburban villa deliriou with happiness. "A letter for you, papa," said his daughter very demurely. She knew the writing; so did be. It read as follows: • My Dear "Sir -Since my return to town I have been anxious to call upon you to ask an explana- tion ot the misunderstanding which arose be- tween us at Cromer. 1 still moat firmly and re- spectfully urge my claims as a suitor for your daughter's hand, and I think it only pure justice to myself to ask for an explanation of your sud- den animosity toward me.

Lucy, my dear." he added, "this is a letter from Mr. Ashleigh, asking me to see him tonight. Are your sentiments toward him unchanged?" "Yes, father dear. Are yours?" "My dear child, you don't understand business. Sometimes it 1s necessary to put young men to the test." An hour later Mr. Gregory and Frank Ashleigh were closeted together in the study. . "Well, well," said Mr. Gregory at the conclusion of the interview. "You must excuse what happened, but a par'ent's feelings, young man—a parent's feel- ings are not always to be controlled, and— and—I completely broke down un- der them on that occasion.

"Arise, fair sun!" The sun—or rather the rocket—did (rise with a terrific hiss. Juliet was knocked off the balcony, the fly borders were set on fire, and the theater was filled with a sulphurous smoke, while the audience, which was fortunately a small one, made a stampede to the doors, Since then "Romeo and Juliet" bas always been looked upon in that town as a dramatic work that could not be witnessed without personal danger.— New World. "Your story will appear in the No- vember number." So wrote the editor of The Cheapside Magazine to Harold Vincent in answer to a letter of inquiry. On the morning of the 1st of Novem- ber Mr. Gregory bought the new Cheapside Magazine. And then be road his story. Some- how or other he wasn't satisfied with it after all. He read it again. No. it certainly did seem a little feeble. Next evening Frank Ashleigh came to dinner. "I've had an- awful wigging over a story I've published," he said, "and I've caught it hot from the firm. 1 tried to do the author a kindness," went on the editor, "but this is what comes of it. The worst of it is, he's sent me another batch of stories. What am I to do to them?" "Burn them—I mean return them," said Mr. Gregory. They were returned and burned.— Harmsworth Magazine. The Arch of Chinese Origin. The Chinese structures that impress the engineering observer most strongly are the bridges. the pagodas, the city walls and certain details of building construction. The arch, that beautiful structure from the scientific as well as the a.stbetic point of view, is generally believed to be of Roman origin. It was not known to or at least never used by the Greeks, and although the shape appears In certain specimens of Hindoo architecture it is of false vari- ety—that is, a succession of protruding corbels. In China, on the other hand, we find it of most widespread and gen- eral application, and examination shows that the principles involved are thoroughly understood. The universal use of the design in all parts of the country and the undoubted antiquity of so many of the existing examples clearly demonstrate that it long ante- dates any possible foreign suggestions and go a long way to establish it as of Chinese origin, a department, however, which, like printing and gunpowder, never passed beyond the national bor- ders.—Engineering Magazine. The End of the Storm. "After a long rainy day," said Mr. Goslington, "with the rain falling ceaselessly and with seemingly every prospect of its keeping on falling all dight and the next day and all the next week, when i have stopped looking out of the window to see if it was going to clear up and have settled down, with curtains drawn. to comfort and a book. I hear, after nightfall, somebody pass- ing by in the street whistling. That meaus always just one thing—the storm is over, and the weather has begun to clear, and when 1 go to the window and look out now I see that the side- walks begin to show dry patches; not only has the rain ceased, but things have already begun to dry up. "I have never known this sign to fail, and I have never known a long drawn storm whose final happy clearing away did not set some cheerful hearted per- son whistling."—New York Sun. A Bishop's Retort. At a dinner party a young man was once talking rather foolishly about Darwin and his books, and he said to the bishop of Winchester (Wilberforce), "My lord, have you read Darwin's last book on the 'Descent of Man?' " "Yes, I have," said the bishop, whereupon the young man continued: "What non- sense it is talking of our being de- scended from apes! Besides, I can't see the use of such stuff. I can't see what difference it would make to me if my grandfather was an ape." "No," the bishop replied; "1 don't see that it would. But it must have made an amazing difference to your grand- mother!" The young man had no more to say. A Faithful Likeness, Artist—Here is the portrait of your wife which— Mr. Richman—Ah! It's very like her. Artist—She—er—lem--she didn't pay for it. She said you'd do that. Mr. Richman—Ahs Still more like her.—Philadelphia Press. Two Pointers as to the Goat, "You may go into the goat business and educate the people of the middle west to eat goat meat," said Wiley 0. Cox yesterday, "but you will not learn from books what my father learned from experience," and then Mr. Cox gave away a trick of the trade. "The man who goes in for Angoras will find that it is true they will jmp anything under 100 feet high and cmb a sapling. They will get at the n igh- bor's wash as- sure as it goes on the line, and there will be lingerie to pay for. But if you would be on the safe side and keep the billy there turn him up and cut away the little creeper that you will find at the bottom of the hoof. It will not hurt him to lose it, but it ruins his ambition as a mountebank. It will save lots of trouble to have a Chiropodist get at the Angora with a nail trimmer." Goat meat cannot be distinguished from mutton ordinarily. In every car of sheep that comes from New Mexico there are sure to be from two Wee doz- en goats in the lot. They all go to the same block at the packers, and the good wife who takes home goat's chops for lamb chops is never the wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat is only a goat when he has his pelt on. After that he is a sheep.—Kansas City Journal. Cheaper Than a Funeral. In a certain North Dakota town there are two physicians, one with a long record of cures and the other popularly rated as "no good." i1t The favored doctor found his services in great request, --but as payment *as not always,forthcomilig he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay In advance, One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away. the wife of one of whom was se- riously Ili. He told them to go to the other doctor. but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico. "In that case my fee is $10, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doc- tor was obdurate and shut down his window. He waiteki, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: "I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more." Shakespeare In the Bible. In Shakespeare's name lies the key to a wonderful cryptogram. The spell- ing "Shakespeare" was the poet's nom de plume, while "Shakespere" was his name, an evident change from "Shakes - pear." In each of the two spellings last given are ten letters—four vowels and six consonants. Cgdab!ne these two figures, and we have the number 46, the key to the mystery. Turning to the Forty-sixth Psalm in the revised version, It is found that the psalm is divided into three portions, each one ending with "selah." Remem- ber the number -46, - Counting 46 words from --the begin- ning of the psalm, one reads the word "shake" in the first portion, and count- ing 46 words from the end of the psalm one reaches the word "spear." There is "Shakespear" as plainly as letters can make it.—London Answers. Siberian Luxuries. The three great luxuries in Siberia are churches, theaters and museums. Even the smaller villages can usually be sighted from afar by means of the white walls and the towering, dome shaped cupolas of their churches. These are all amply supplied with bells whose rich tones roll in majestic har- mony over distant hill and vale and break the monotony of the peasants' daily toll. Inside these churches are highly ornamented with paintings, and they are presided over by married priests, who take a deep and genuine interest in even the poorest of the flock. An Amateur Critic. Here Is a schoolboy's criticism of Sir Walter Scott in an examination paper which the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser vouches for: "Walter Scott was a great poit. When he was dyeing, he felt it coming on, so be wrote sum tuch- ing lines which be ment for himself: "The way was long the wind was cold the minstrel was inferul old, "0 may we all feel the same wen death catches hold of us."

Sympathy Not What Was Wanted, A native of the mountain district of Kentucky had occasion. to go on a journey recently and before starting took out an accident policy. He chanc- ed to be one of the victims of a railway collision, and the next morning his widow, armed with a newspaper re- port, in which his name was mention- ed among the killed, called on the agent of the insurance company and demanded the money. "But, madam," said the agent, "we will have to have more definite proof before we can pay your claim." "More proof!" exclaimed the bereav- ed woman. "Why, he's dead'rn a door- nail, I reckon." "Possibly, my dear madam," an- swered the polite agent, "and I'm very sorry." "Sorry! You are sorry, are you?" "I certainly am, madam. I sincerely sympathize with you in your sad af- fliction." "But hain't you goin to give Inc the money what's comin to me?" "Not today. Your claim will have to be investigated first." "That's just like a good fer nothin man," angrily retorted the bereaved woman. "You all are mighty perlite 'bout things so long as they hain't costin you nothin, but the minnet a poor, lone female does git a chance to git holt of a leetie spendin money you got the gall to say you're sorry." And the indignant female slammed the door.—Chicago News. Telegraphers' Grip. "I have lost my grip." This phrase is applied by men to all kinds of failures. One of the technical usages of losing one's grip is in the case of telegraph operators. Many of the most skilled operators suffer at times from a loss of the "grip" and are compelled to give way tempo- rarily to a substitute. This "grip" is the hold on the key, and the Moment the operator begins to lose the control of this "grip" he realizes a rest, al- though for only a brief time, is due him. Another but unpleasant term applied to this loss of "grip" Is "telegraphers' paralysis." It shows itself iu many curious ways, all showing that the muscles_.hrotugbt into play in working the key are badly worn. One of the most skillful operators in Louisville, who is subject to these at- tacks, cannot sen'P." The Morse manual calls for3-tots for this let- ter. The operator in question has by some book or crook lost the power to stop at the fifth dot, and it is a com- mon thing for him to warn the taker to look out for his "P's." ntly he asked a fellow operator to tch him send "P's" and to stop him fit the end of the fifth dot. It re- sulted that, although he would be• warned at the fourth dot, the fingers, no longer Mastered by the brain, would continue dotting beyond the fifth.— Le?isville Courier -Journal. Quick Witted. "It was simply an exhibition of nerve and quick wit," said the old banker who was dining at his club with a number of friends. "No one but the paying Miler knew what was happen- ing at the time, and what might have been a tragedy was turned into a com- edy by his quick wit. "During the noon hour one day an old man approached the paying -teller and presented a check for $1,000,000, With it was a badly written letter to the effect that if the Immediate pay- ment of the check was not forthcoming the teller would have his head blown off. He was nothing but a crank, but he had come armed for business, and if the wit of the paying teller had failed him for an instant there might have been a tragedy. But the paying teller coolly took up the check, glanced at it and then handed ,it back with the re- mark that the crank had neglected to put a stamp upon it. In an instant the crank was full of apologies at his over- sight and departed to get a stamp. It took but a moment to notify the police, and the crank was put where there is no danger of his demanding the pay- ment of any more $1,000,000 checks at the point of a gun."—Detroit Free Press. Naming the Chinese Baby. In China girls are called instead of Mary Ann or Marguerite "Spring Peach," "Cloudy Moon," "Celestial Happiness" or what may not be con- sidered so nice, "Come -along -a -little - brother" or "Add -a -younger -brother" or "Lead -everlasting -younger -broth- ers." The latter means that a son wo ld have been more welcome than a Ilttl�"go away child," as they call the girls.` They belong to the family of the husbands to be and do not count in the family of their birth, so that when a Chinaman is asked, "How many chil- dren have you?" he makes no count of the girls, although he may have ten. The boys only he counts, and his reply will indicate only the number of boys. He gives his sons such names as "Ancestral Piety," "Ancestral Knowl- edge," "Practical Industry," "Able to Sing Out," "Second God of Learning," "Excite the Clouds," "Beginning of Joy," "All Virtue Complete."

There is a young man out in Ger- mantown who has developed into a chronic matchmaker. This is all the more remarkable because of the fact that the young woman to whom he had been engaged jilted him and returned the ring—a handsome solitaire. The average man who meets with an expe- rience like this usually poses as a misanthrope and rails bitterly at matri- mony. It seems to have just the oppo- site effect upon this Germantown than, Otho is noted for bis parsimonious hab- Ever since his own engagen)ent was broken off be has been doing ng Elis best to make matches among his friends. He would tell a girl how much a cer- tain young man thought of her and then pour a tale into the young man's ears about how deeply in love with him the girl was. These tactics he pursued so frequently as to excite comment. A short time ago his efforts resulted in an announced engagement, and the matchmaker lost no time in making a proposition to the prospective Benedict. Then it developed that his only inter- est in throwing his friends of opposite sexes at each other's heads was that he might sell the engagement ring that had been returned to Itim.

Anoth instant and the horrified spectators e pected to see the child crushed benea the approaching o'er. The horse ga a strange little "ninny" and sudden veered toward the track, picked t child up quickly by its clothes a switched it sideways from the tra just in time to save 1t from a horrib death. Occasionally the horse displays u paralleled obstinacy, suffering himse to tie lashed and bruised in the severe manner rather than yield to the wish of his master. In most instances the is some discoverable cause for, sue perversity, though in some there a pears to he no other impulse sa tbat'of a stubborn and willful dispos tion. Many have witnessed a dra horse working lustily and cheerful! all at once stand still on coming to atrtain spot. and no coaxing that coldbe offered or punishment that could b inflicted would cause him to move on step until he was blindfolded, an then he would push forward as i nothing had happened. On one oeeasion an expressman' horse took one of these obstinate tit The most shameful tortures were ha recourse to by the expressman, hu all to no purpose. It seethed as tinlitg the animal would allow himself to b cut to pieces rather than stir bne foot As a last recourse the expressma threw a chain around the animal' neck and yoked it to another horse but no sooner did the obstinate ani mal perceive the purpose in view nighe rushed forward. and afterward th mere jingling of a chain was sumBcien to put him out of the sulks. Though Providence seems to have implanted in the horse a benevolent disposition, with at the same time a certain awe of the human race, yet there are instant'es on record of his recollecting injuries anti- fearfully re- venging them. A person near Boston was in the habit, whenever be wished to catch his horse In the field, of tak- ing a quantity of corn in a measure by way of bait. On calling to him the horse would come up and eat the corn while the bridle was put over his head. But the owner, having deceived the animal several times by calling him when he had no eorn in the meas- ure, the horse at length began to sus- pect the design, and coining up one day as usual on being called looked into the measure and, seeing it empty, turned round, reared on his hind legs and killed his master on thb spot. It is tpld of a horse belonging to an Irish nobieman that he always became restive and furious whenever a cer- tain ertain individual came Into his presence. One day this poor fellow happened to pass within reach, when the animal seized him with its teeth and broke his arm. It then threw him down and lay upon him, every effort to get it off proving unavailing till the bystanders were compelled to shoot it. The rea- son assigned for this ferocity was that the man had performed a cruel opera- tion on the animal some time before and which it seems to have revengeful- ly remembered. -Chicago Times -Her - last ears the and his des - was him Per - his de- al- wn his the re- gly ess nd ety a nd- re. he ng of rn- tle en t, et as er x- th ve ly he nd ck le 11- If st es re h e- ve 1- ft y a d e e d s. d h e n s u e aldf Japanese Immigrants.

In a savage noncivilized state of society man slee when he is sleepy and eats when he hungry. As he becomes enlighten and artificial he limits and defines hi self in such matters. He divides t days into mealtime and defers ale until work ' done and all the plac are closed up. His health is suppos to be preserved by his eating at t hour and that and bis sleeping at t other. It is worthy of remark th with all this regulation, insomnia a indigestion are diseases of civilizatlo Since the era of regulation began t most natural and sensible rule, and one time almost universal in this cou try, is that dividing the hours of d by three meals, called respective breakfast, dinner and supper, the fir soon after rising in the morning. t second at noon and the third in t evening. Breakfast naturally follo sleep, dinner is the heaviest meal an comes after a half day's toil to repa damages and fortify for another ha day, and supper comes when, in th evening, in more ways than one, the swallows homeward fly and is the so- cial meal of the day. This is the old and proper order, which has been devi- ated from of. late years by placing luncheon at midday and postponing dinner till dark or even later, a system for which no • such philosophical rea- sons can be given as for the old plan. When the world was older than it is now and more leisurely and less hent on driving itself into paralysis, loco- motor ataxia, paresis, hypochondria, dyspepsia. softening of the brain and insanity, in the original plan of life the dinner, the midday meal, was followed by a sleep. commonly called a nap. Nature's gentle hint to sleep was fol- lowed. and from this the sleeper arose strengthened and refreshed to complete the labors of the day. The custom was found among the larger and important quadrupeds, and there are traces of it in the oldest historical records. In warm countries and among Latin people the midday sleep has never been broken In upon. All the Spanish peo- ple and their derivations call it the siesta- It is observed in all their coun- tries with more faithfulness than any of the articles of religon. After the family dinner, at which all eat, all sleep. The merchant shuts up his store, the lawyer his office, the gambler lays down his hand, whatever It is, and all lay them down to sleep. This is generally regarded, even by the north- ern people, as a good thing in a hot country tend for the dark people. It may be added further that the siesta In any country where the sun shines and for any people Is a good thing. The sleep allowance which the most highly enlightened people crowd into the night alone Is frequently a few hours. and that is not enough. It is not the allowance suggested by nature and must be increased, It is full of devils of blue and other tints and nightmares. and tires rather than refreshes. The sleep proposed by old fashioned na- ture after a good dinner was the real thing and should never have been abandoned. It helped tired nature in a good Mite and pieced out, as it were, the night. As men and women grow old and are excused from active toil and are re- manded to the summer porch or win- ter fireside, it is noticed that they slumber tIa their chairs even in broad day. It Is the voice of Mother Na- ture saying to them, "Sleep, old friends, sleep on, and take the rest you should have taken long ago." When the world bas wiser grown, less furiously energetic, less morbidly avaricious, less painfully and fantas- tleally industrious, less intent on suc- cess or the madhouse, it may be that it will return to the older and simpler ways and the noony sleep.

Perhaps the most interesting and cu- rious fact concerning the Constantino- ple dogs is that they live in distinct quarters. All the streets In Constan- tinople are divided up into separate dog quarters, which are Inhabited by sets of dogs varying from perhaps 10 or 20 to number. The frontiers of each quarter are known only to the dogs themselves, though one can -get to know them by noticing how far a dog will follow one when entice by some food. Each separate colony rds its territory with the utmost vigilant and 'these same creatures, which seem indifferent to all that goes on around them, will at once jump up and bark at any strange dog that encroaches upon their territory, and should the intrud- epersist they will set n hi and cse him nut again.

ROYAL BAKING PgWDER CO.. 100 WILLIAM ST.. NEW YORK. Poisonous Fleets of Weariness. The eating of "high" game is un- doubtedly attended with risks, and the poisonous effects are probably due to the toxins produced in the earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantage, of course, of hanging game is that the flesh becomes tender and decidedly more digestible than when it is quite fresh. The ripening proc ess, however, may mean the elabora tion of toxins. It has been stated that the produc tion of the characteristic flavors o game is related directly to the amoun of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphu alcohol set free, but it is rather re pulsive to think that the delicate flavo of game is dependent upon that invarl able product of decomposition of rot ten eggs-sulphureted hydrogen. Th smell evolved during cooking of "high'� game is even more disgusting. Fresh game sometimes sets up mys- terious poisonous symptoms which have been attributed to the fact of the game having been overhunted and fatigued. Fatigue products indeed have been separated from overhunted game which, when injected into a healthy animal, have produced marked poisonous effects. There is no doubt that fatigue products under certain cir- cumstances are also elaborated in the human body and give rise to a species of self poisoning, characteristic symp- toms of which are headache, stupor and gastric and intestinal pains. The flesh of overdriven cattle may prove poisonous from the same cause.- Lancet Stories of John Sherman. To his aid in his political life John Sherman brought a nature Instinctively methodical and an unflinching probity. He saw to it that the public moneys were not squandered or used f,:r dis- honest purposes. A claim for $1,000,- 000 was once brought to him for his signature. It had been regularly al- - lowed, but it was illegal, and he re- ' fused to sign. "It has been allowed," insisted the fclaimant's attorney, "and you must sign It," t "I will not," repeated Mr. Sherman, r and he did not. He would have resign- " ed, he afterward confided to a friend, r had it been required of him sooner that even seem to sanction a fraud. Neither would he permit irregularities. The e chief of a bureau one day came to him for an order to pay fol some machin- ery. one. "Has it been advertised?" asked the secretary. "No," said the chief, "but there are only two places where it can be made, and we are accustomed to get their bids and contract with the lowest." "But," said the secretary, "the law says it must be advertised." "At least this may pass, for it it4 made, and we need it." "I cannot help that. The law says it must be adv rtised, and advertised it must be." Atd advertised it was at a very large saving to the government. - Saturday Evening Post. Fresh Water Springs In Midoeeaa. Several fresh water fountains are known to exist in the gulf of Mexico, where vessels have frequently filled their casks with ice cold sweet water that comes up like a geyser in the midst of the salt water. The fresh water springs, as the sailors call thein, have been known in the gulf for 200 r 300 years. They were discovered by early voyagers and were the salvation of many a mariner whose supply of fresh water ran short while he was becalmed in the doldrums. Some of the fresh water springs are marked upon the charts, but there is so little need of them nowadays by the steam- ers on the gulf and the -sailing fleet Is so small that no attention is paid to them, and they have passed out of the knowledge of the younger skipper. - Chicago Record.

He had but just come on board the schooner where as cabin boy he was to serve his a prenticeship to tot sea and was still eta ng about him wi'ttt boyish interest and inquisitiveness w en the skipper approached and ordered him' to assist in washing down the deck. He put down his bundle austtarted awkwardly to do so, when to second order, accompanied by emphatic pletives, was given him to take otYJiis shoes and stockings. He was perftly willing to oblige, but at home he had not been permitted to wet his feet. "No," be answered innocently, with an engaging smile, "I should not mind, but my mother does not allow it." The skipper was a rough old sea dog who did, not appreciate obedience un- less it g/as rendered to himself, and his reply teas a stunning blow that flung the boy across the deck. "But after that," Captain Miron would say, with a great laugh and not a shadow of re- sentment, "I knew who was captain of that schooner, and it was not my mother."

Not the least mysterious of all the wonders of the earth is the extraor- nary cleverness of Dame Nature as a carver and designer. Her tools are air, rain, rivers, springs and frost. Any one who has ever seen the mar- velous Queen Bess rock on the North Cornish coast, that wonderful present- ment of the great Queen Elizabeth, who is seated so grandly upon the sands, must have asked himself the question as to how such a thing could have been accomplished. Continuous trickling of water wears away the face of„_the rock. Haphaz- ard it was until at last a weird pat- tern is formed that sometimes resem- bles a man's face. sometimes an ani- mal.

Selecting Glassware. To select glass with discretion it is necessary to understand somewhat of its manufacture and to recall the prop- erties of the chemicals of which It is composed. These materials are chiefly soda, potash, lime, alumina and oxide of lead. 1 he quality of the glass to be manufa"h,-. depends upon the amount the basic material united with th Ica or san . The best glass is mad - • h lea'' which gives to it luster, fusib y and high refractory powers. It is often called flint glass to distinguish it prom lime glass, which is much cheaper and of a decidedly green- ish tint. Flint glass is that which is most gen- erally used for cutting and polishing. It may be picked out by the clear, bell - like tone which It sends forth when struck. This test may be made without any danger of breaking the glass if it be held firmly in one hand while the upper part or edge is sharply struck with a pencil or other instrument, the only care requisite being to see that the glass does not touch any object when it is struck, since if there be room for it to vibrate glass will never break.- Harper's Bazar.

Mottoes to Adores Anything From a Pincushion to a Pipe Reek. - The present fashion of introducing mottoes, proverbs or quotations in the ornamentation of all kinds of objects, from pincushions upward, is no new one. In oldendays it was a general custom to adorn articles intended for domestic or personal use with inscrip- tions, which in many cases were chief- ly remarkable for their absolute incon- grillty and inappropriateness. Modern taste, however, requires that the motto chosen should have some justification for itaq appearance on the particular object it hips to decorate, and it is not always an easy task to hit upon really pertinent nd tolerably un- hackneyed mottoes for, say, half a dozen diaries or a set of menu cards or doilies; hence this list of inscrip-. tions, appropriate for sundry Christ- mas articles such as nearly everybody is engaged in making just now: For Table Centers, Menu Cards or Dining Room Decoration. -1.

Before baking cut the skin in an even circle all round the apple, removing, too, a piece of the core, and putting a morsel of butter in its place. The cutting of the skin prevents it cracking and the loss of the inside, while the butter makes the skin crisp and brown.

Ferments That Check Disease, Cure Tobacco and Improve Butter, By the recent resignation of Dr. Os - ear Loew the agricultuat•al department has lost one of the most noted scien- tists in its employ. Dr. Loew leaves to become lecturer on agricultural chem- istry in the agricultural college of the Japanese Imperial university at Tokyo. He receive a salary of 57,000 in addition to quarters in the university and oth r perquisites. Dr. Loew's specialty was the investi- gation of what are known in organic chemistry as enzimes, a subtle species of liquid ferments that are neither mi- crobes nor fungi, but somewhat simile to both. The found that certain of then ferments were present at the culmina Ing stages of practically all the vir lent diseases and that it was the d velopment of the enziute in the syste that checked the disease and killed th microbes when a disease like typhoi smallpox or yellow fever had run i course. From this discovery It w but a step to decide that if the enzi could be introduced into tale ystem a patient the disease would l�e cheek before it had run its course and t patient have a Much better chance fo recovery, says the New York Sun. It was a long and infinitely patien investigation that established this fact Dr. Loew finally succeeded in selectin a particular enzime which, while no harmful to the human system, would dissolve and kill the microbes of yel low fever, scarltt fever, typlir1, small pox, bubonic plague, diplitbetifa, tet anus and other diseases. Like al other investigations of this sort -the ex periments had to be made first in th laboratory test tubes, then on the low er animals and finally on human be Ings.. In Japan Dr. Loew proposes t carry on extensive hospital experi menta with the enzime before turning the iscovery over to the medical pro- feseon at large. He hopes especially to try it under prat i working condi- tions on a la tuber of plague pa- tients. The work Dr. Loew carried on at the agricultural department in connection with tobacco curing promises to be of great commercial advantage to this country. It has been known for a long time that the critics stage In the cur - Ing of high gradetobaccocame while the leaf was passing through the pe- riod of fermentat' jn, when by some method not gene sly understood it veloped the aroma and flavor that "ed its market value. Dr. Loew found that this rmentation was controlled by anothe enzime and that when the na- ture of he enzime or ferment was un- derstood it would be posstible to push or arrest its development almost as a photographic plate can be weakened or intensified in the darkroom. The Improvement of the tobacco output of the . . fir,• resulting from this discov- ery o ave an importance hard to ove ?.: te. Professor Loew was also engaged in similar experiments with butter and eider. The flavor of butter is held to be due not to any excellence in the cow or its food, but to thellresence of cer- tain enaimes. It was Dr. Loew's theory that he could turn poor butter into high grade butter by introducing the proper. enzimes. Experiments were also made with cider wf i.nto which Dr. Loew introduced the enzimes which give to Rhine wines and other light wines their flavor. FIe procured from Ger- many some of the ferment used in winemaking and sought to develop it so that the farmer could introduce the enzimes into his cider barrel and later draw out a fine quality of white wide. Professor Loew was conducting other experiments with wines, being con- vinced that the superiority of French wines over American lay not in the soil or the climate or methods employed, but in the flavoring enzimes which en- ter the casks during fermentation.

After the system is once installed the only thing to get out of order is the burning out occasionally of a fuse, which may be quickly re- paired. A separate wire is used for each fire district, and any number of telephones may be connected with any district wire. By means of this system every house and factory along the line of the wires can be connected with the alarm wire, and thus protection may be had at a low cost. The wires can also be used to connect with the long distance telephone for other uses. Removing Moles. A very simple procedure will remove moles without having recourse to the knife. Shave a match or sliver to as fine n point 's possible, dip in carbolic acid and lig tly touch the mole, care being take to prevent the acid touch- inibaay o er portion of the skin. Ap- ply this very three or four des, and the mowi11 gradually disappear, leaving its spacelclean and healthy. , • Give Your Glasses a -Bath. "Half of the people who wear glasses and complain that their sight is grad- ually diminishing owe the idea to dirty glasses," remarks the optician. "Spec- tacles and eyeglasses are as much ben- efited by a bath now and then as peo- ple are. It Is strange how many people there are who think that by{'wiping their glasses now and then they keep them clean. The fact is they want a'' bath just as frequently as does a hu- man being. You see, it is this way: The face and especially the eyes all the time give off a fine vapor. This clings to the glasses, and the dust col- lects on them. As soon as they be- come clean -that is, apparently clean - the wearer is satisfied. "So the process goes on. But, while wiping the glasses cleanses them and is necessary, a bath is also required. Every time the glasses"hre wiped a fine film of dirt is left on them, and this ac- cumulates, and no wiping will clean it off. In time this coating gets quite thick enough to blur the vision even though. at a glance the glasses may ap- pear clean. When this occurs, the sight is diminished, and they conte to me or some other optician. What they ought to have done was to give the glasses a bath in warm water, well scrubbing them with a small toothbrush and soap and afterward wipe them. This should be done with chamois leather and then with tissue paper to polish them." - Cleveland Plain Dealer. No Place Like Home.

DEFECTIVE PAGE A Popul r Decorative Idea. It has bee quite a popular idea of I9te, says ood Housekeeping, in ar- tistic effe s to use handsome stretches of taperstry or brocade for backgrourd pieces against the wall behind cou»h or sofa. They make a fine show if from beauty and harmony of color or richness of texture they deserve so worthy and conspicuous a place. But it must be remembered that such back- grounds are to be the setting for Liv- ing pictures, and it Is only fair that they should not diminish or detract from the pose of the actors. It would be the poorest expression of art in the holne if the personality of the occu- pants should not be always at its beat in its own surroundings. J. 11.

Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Rea estate is the basis of all wealth, and altho h land ii estimated at from one-third to one a f what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large lite in- surance Companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the beat financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these 'companies will loan in smaller amounts than 510,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to' keep the records of a mort- gage for 52110 as one for $50,000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from $200 to 255,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have, no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than 810,000) and I have many applications for loans of from $300 to $5,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do.is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you 011 information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has Veen able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis- ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na- ture in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they of- fer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to'cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

Amid the green leaves on the tree, Mark to his lyric line; A burst of love and melody— Sweetheart, be mine! - The south wind's message to the rasa In music soft and clear, It. is the same as mine which goes 'fo her whom love holds dear. He sings the crimson to her cheeks; She trembles on the vine With joy at every word he speaks; Sweetheart, be mine! So, like the south wind's and the bird's, Let my fate be at last; Since I have dared to steal their words My lot with theirs I cast. The rose and robin's mate shall give Their hearts to love—and thine, Say the glad word and let me live; Sweetheart, be mine! —Frank D.

BACON.r ° .0 0 000000000000000000€ I was a young man then, 24 years of age. That is very young, is it not? And I bad been at work ever since I was a mere lad, for I had had my lasing to make, and at the time of which I write I held a good position and had the re- spect of my employers. I had been given just at this time a holiday because of a generally wornqut condition of body and mind, having been warned by my physician that un- less I followed his prescription of ab- solute rest and, change I should suc- cumb to a fever very prevalent then. So 1 crossed the channel and burled myself in a little seaport village in France- It was an ideal place in which to rest and gather strength. The salt air blew refreshingly, and all night long one could hear the sound of the waves lashing up against the shore, S , The only thing of interest in this quiet little place was the story of the wreck of the Fleur-de-lis and the fact that a good part of the ruined vessel still remained imbedded in the im- mense banks of sand which cover the coast of this region. My garrulous landlord told me the story of the ship while I discussed my rolls and coffee the morning after my arrival. The big three masted vessel bad been caught in a furious gale. It had been a storm before which the fisher folk trembled and which had since been a byword among them. It bad occurred in December, more than three mouths before, and in the fury of the hurricane and the black- ness of the night the ship bad com- pletely lost her bearings and, steered at random, had struck a terrible reef some distance out. The crew and the three passengers she carried had made for the boats, but before their escape could be effected the vessel was swung about and the boats dashed against the rocks. Of all on board only two were saved, the first mate and the cook. These, rescued almost by a miracle, could tell of that dreadful night. Afterward the wind hat] driven the vessel on with its powerful lashings and hurled it upon the shore. It was fastened firmly by two projecting points of rock and lay upon its side, a mere discolored carcass of what bad been the Fleur-de-lis. I was sufficiently interested, espe- cially as the sun was warm and bright, to follow my host's suggestion and stroll off to view the wreck myself. I took the direction he had pointed out and after brisk walking found myself nearing the coast. The fiat yellow sands stretched before me, and as 1 stepped upon their moist surface I felt that the sea had been there not long befre. There was a fresh wind blow- ing, and the strong, fragrant salt air seemed to bring returning strength with it. I walked faster. I felt a sense of exultant life. Finally I came upon what had look- ed*In the distance like a black rock. It was the ruins of the vesseL But it was not entirely destroyed. After climbing over the lower side I could see into the hold, which was filled with debris. I marveled as the rotten planks creaked under me that the ship should have remained here so long. I even suspected some of the keener spirits of the town of making her fast, that their object of interest and curi- osity might not be lost I stood upon the deck of the strand- ed vessel and looked about me with de- light and admiration. From necessity I was with the large manufacturing firm of Davenport & Co., but by nature I was an artist With the love of art strong within me I had all my life been obliged to crush it down until I had the means to justify my ambition and cultivate what I felt sure was my gift. Only recently bad I been able to begin study, and strong encourage- ment had been given me. Now I seat- ed myself amid the ruins, with my back to the shore, drew out my sketch- book and lost myself in my beloved work. I worked steadily, for there were several fantastic points to make, and along the coast, which stretched to the right of me, there were many beautiful views to be sketched. But I was not strong, and the long walk had tired me. Moreover, the strong salt breeze carried a soothing potion upon its breath. The low surge of the waves was like a cradle song. My pencil slid from my inanimate fingers, my head dropped to one side, and my eyes clos- ed. I slept I awoke suddenly. It was the sensa- tion of cold, of a chill, which awaken- ed me. How long had I slept? The sky had changed; it was dark, lowering. I heard the cry of a gull flying Inland. I rubbed my eyes. Where was I? Was this the Fleur-de-lis? I looked again. 'i t,e I sprang to my feet and cried almal.aloin horror, for the ship was mov- ing. The sands of the fast receding beach were enveloped and concealed by the water. '1.1e tide was up, and the ves- sel, the vessel upon which I stood, was detached from its hold and headed out to sea! I cried aloud. I shrieked. I thought I must jump into the water. Finally I felt the hopelessness of my situation and resigned myself to despair. A. strong wind had sprung up, almost a squall, and it drove the ship ou faster. The shores faded, about me was the measureless sea. Night came on. I was faint and worn with hunger, and I crawled down into the hold and wished for death to come to my release. Suddenly as I lay there I heard a faint sound. It was npt like any noise I had ever heard, and yet It was strangely familiar to me. I strained my ears; while I listened there passed me suddenly a gleam of light. It was surely some one carrying a lantern. Some one. Who? I started up. Cold perspiration was upon me. The next instant I knew and recognized the sounds I had heard. It was the moving of the machinery of a vesisel, but dim and far away, like the suggestion rather than the actual thing. I rose and with the sense of re- turning strength all fear left me. I climbed upon deck. The masts were there as they had been when the Fleur-de-lis was happily sailing home- ward. The sailors were at their post. The captain, a tall, slender man, stood with his glass to his eyes. But about them. all was au air of vague strange- ness. A deep melancholy, mingled with an unearthly quiet, pervaded them. Their movements were felt rather than heard. As I stood looking without fear up- on the marvelous scene my attention was arrested by the figure of a young girl. She stood with her profile to- ts -aril me, the wind stirred the little curls of her light hair, with a faint, transparent hint of color In it, as is sometimes .seen upon the heart of a cloud. She had a blue scarf twisted about her throat, which she held in place with the delicate fingers of one hand. On one of thein there glistened a ruby of great size and brilliancy. She turned her face slowly as I looked and smiled a faint, unmirthful smile. I approached her and lifted my bat. "Will you tell me," I said, my eyes meanwhile feasting upon her beauty, "what ship this is and where it is go- ing?" She looked at me half sadly, I thought, and answered in a low, vi- brant tone: "It is the Fleur-de-lis, but it is dead, you know. We are all dead, and we are sailing through eternity. You are a tranger. I am glad to see you. We have been alone so long." The voice of this young girl thrilled me as nothing had ever done before. Iy heart beat fast. I looked into her blue eyes, with their changing lights, nd the past and future faded. I cared my for the present. "Are you alone?" 1 ventured. I ould scarcely restrain myself from utting my band on her delicate wrist, rom caressing her soft hair. "No," she replied; "I have my maid 0 nd Mme. d'Estell with me-" 1 "You are French, then?" "Yes, but I was at school in Eng- nd." An absent look came into her g yes. "That was long, long ago. I r ust go now and help madame with m inner. We take the cook's place. He as lost, you know." k She smiled sadly and left me. a A repast was presently served in the d ng saloon, but all hunger seemed to h ave left me, nor did I see any of the fl hers partake "of anything set before 1 em. Afterward I walked on deck t ith the girl. We paused, looking at e horn shaped moon together.- I felt e blown strands of her hair upon my a ce. h "Will you tell me your name?" I In hispered to her. u She turned her face to me serenely. s "I have forgotten," she said simply. The answer did not surprise me, for h me the past was a blank. al "Then I shall call you Psyche," I u id. Pe 'Very well," she replied, and we be- u n to walk again. th Thus days went by, or at least some fo rat of time, just what I could not In 1. I was like one intoxicated with joyous wine. I thought and cared co ty for the beautiful French girl. Her Pa ductive beauty enchanted me; her el oximity thrilled me with intense de- do ht. The vessel sailed onward, but never W hted land. Before us stretched al- ab ys the boundless water, now taking fn ange and varied hues, now bubbling a d whirling around us, now sinking o a glassy calm. su ne day as I sat with Psyche, as it gr ased my fancy to call her, watching tri r as she looked out upon the sea, I T t a sudden wild longing to paint her di e.

R' 'ith a touch that I should have an. th yed in handling the silk of thistle un wn I turned her head to the desired tw e, adjusted the silky tendrils of her ith r and began. My heart thrilled with clo ild rapture as the picture grew un- de my hand. I designed it to be very all, scarcely more than a miniature, Th after sketching her head in several as erent positions I chose the most I able, if, Indeed, there could be any mys ice. The charm of my existence Ide not be described. 1 felt that for aga first time in all my life I lived. As 100 delicate colors blended together pat with unerring touch portrayed the wet feet face before me my happiness I w no bounds. and t length the picture was completed. tate I put the finishing touches upon it and you Ra Inv sch 41 said Sum my W tral It w Fre to g tire lips M wal ing long fral look fres rens s a 0 c P a la e d w lo h of th w Orth th fa w to sa ga fo tel a on se pr lig sig wa str an int 0 pie he fel fac up her Sh agr plo do pos hal a w der sm and diff suit cho can the the and per kne A As she rose and came to me, leaning over my shoulder to look at -it. At that moment a crash of thunder sounded, and a brilliant flash of light- ning illuminated the ship. I looked up. The sky had grown black as night The sea, with its inky waves, seemed to bound toward us. It hissed under the sing of the wind. The vessel rock- ed from side to side, and the water splashed upon the deck. I sprang -to my feet and, thrusting the picture into my bosom, seized my companion's hand. Another and still another clap pealed through the air. In a few moments we were almost in complete darkness save when the lightning shot in flash- ing lines across the sky. The fury of the storm was indescribable. The wind seemed to have gone mad. Salt spray dashed on my face, cutting like a knife. In the darkness I turned threw my arms about the girl. As lips sought hers there cane sudd a cry—a cry that rushed upon me a resurrection. I felt my compa slip from my arms. By a vivid flas lightning I caught a glimpse of face. It was like a 1Rladow, but w lag still that sad smile upon the li The next instant a light flashed fore my eyes. The storm had aba had ceased. All was calm. Beside stood a tall man in uniform. His pearance seemed strange to me. suggested that which I had forgot He had his arm thrown about me, he seemed to be supporting me. "Feel better now?" He spoke I loud, gruff voice, and it was to me the memory of a dream. He held something to was like liquid fire. I turned from him. "Psyche!" I cried. The ship, the crew, my beloved, were gone. I stood alone upon ruins of the Fleur-de-lis. The was calm and placid, the sky blue. rotten planks were beneath my feet. "Come, hurry," said my compani "This won't last much longer." A he dragged me to the side of the v sel, where there was a boat. Just yond I saw the masts of an Engl frigate. I felt myself being transpo ed to the boat, and, though I shriek and struggled, begging that those bad been with on the Fleur -de might be saved or at least that might remain there also, It was of avail. "He Is raving," I beard the offi mutter. "The strain has caused insa ty, not unusual in such cases." I thought of Psyche, of my love, a with the despair of the thought swooned away. I remained unconscious, Ill, for ma clays, and when I was myself aga we were nearing the shores of En land. As I tottered weakly upon t deck and, wrapped In a heavy cloa reclined in my easy chair I sudden bethought me of my portrait. I p my hand in my bosom. There, close my heart, I felt it. Tremblingly drew it forth. I gazed with a sense joy and relief upon it. Just as it ha been completed it was now—the bea tiful, perfect features, the exquisi turn of the head, the sweet, meta choly smile. I pressed it to my lips in a deliriu of joy. I spent myself upon it. A least I had this tangible proof of th past. It was more than I bad dreame possible, a treasure. For when I r rated my experience to those on boar I saw from their Incredulous face that they regarded my words but a the incoherent wanderings of a di traught brain. The captain told me that he had e pled a floating wreck, that with hi glass it bad appeared to him that som ne was signaling, and he had sent t nvesttgate. This story. and not mine was everywhere received among m rtends, and as I noted their pityin lances when i eagerly related my nar ative, 1 ceased finally to make an ention of it. But in the solitude of my chamber lased the loved face which I carrie galnst my heart and heaped ever ear and endearing name upon it. ad a case of chased gold made an tted the picture to it.

Since the inting of that one perfect picture all se was of no avail. Finally I abau- ned the effort in despair. So time passed. Years came and ent I watched the gray hairs come out my temples, and in my unevent- 1 life counted time "by the figures on dial." Eighteen years went by. It was the mmer of 1889.

I divined that precious gift was mine and for me was reserved God's greatest blessing. Trembling, though I felt that the treas- ure was already within my reach, I asked for her love. My arms encircled her, her warm lips met mine. Then I told her the story of the Fleur-de-lis— a story I had vowed never to relate again. Her eyes widened, her face paled like a white flower. "The Fleur -de -Its!" slit exclaimed. "Surely it is not possible, dear one! My mother's only sister, my young aunt, a beautiful girl, scarcely 18, was lost on that vessel. It is for her I am named. She was returning from Eng- land with a companion and maid. They all perished." Her blue eyes filled with tears. "You see it is not possible, sweetheart." "But 1t is," I exclaimed, "and I have her portrait. I painted it, and I will show It to you now." I put my hand in my bosom and drew out the case. With trembling fingers I opened It. Vaguely I gazed at it. There was nothing there; the face had faded ut- terly! While I looked, horror stricken, upon the empty case there was breathed close to my ear a faint sigh. Twice it came almost imperceptibly, then it ceased. It was not my companion, for when I looked at her she was smiling. —St. Louis Star. He Got the Hat. An Alleghany schoolteacher bad oc- casion to reprimand one of the boys in her school for some Infraction of the rules, and she sent him into a small room to wait until after school had been dismissed for the day. The boy did not care to wait for the punish- ment which he had good reason to be. Neve was in store for him, so he got out of the room through a window, leaving his hat behind him. This was on Friday afternoon. The boy re- mained near the school until the other pupils came out, and then he persuaded one of the smaller boys to go back and ask the teacher for his hat. The teacher refused to give it to him and -said that the boy must come for it himself. On Monday morning the same little boy came up to her desk and said, "Please may I have that bat to take hem!?" "No, you cannot have it. He must come for it himself." "But he can't come," was the reply. "Why not?" asked the teacher. "'Cause lie was drowned while he was in swimming Saturday." The boy received the hat after the teacher had recovered from the shock of the abrupt announcement of the fa- tality.—Pittsburg Chrouicle-Telegraph. A Stylish Morning Gown.

SUMMER TIME TROPHIES TRANSFORM- ED INTO HOLIDAY KNICKKNACKS, An Ingenious and Decorative Atr- rangement For Photographs of Va- rious Sires—Pretty Rustle Frame of Pine Twigs and Cones. Each little summer gleaning from forest or field undoubtedly has its as- sociation, and many pleasant memories will be awakened while the workers' fingers deftly twist and bend the treas- ured trifles into Christmas gifts that will be acceptable and decorative as well as useful, remarks The Designer in preface to useful suggestions, among which occur the following: Nearly every one—man, woman or child—possesses a camera nowadays PHOTOGRAPH HOLDER, and brings back from the summer wanderings photographs good, bad or indifferent, but all of value in the am- ateur photographer's eyes. To frame each picture separately would be an expensive undertaking, and to keep them all together In a portfolio neces- sitates the handling of the unmounted ones every time they are on exhibition In our first illustration is shown a decorative way of meeting the difficul- ty. The foundation of the pictured holder is made of stiff cardboard and may be of any size preferred. The photographs (unmounted) are arranged on this cardboard In what might be called orderly disorder—that is to say, the arrangement follows a regular plan, but all stiffness and rows of straight lines are avoided. The photographs are either lightly pasted on the card- board or are temporarily held down by thumb tacks; then velvet ribbon of any pretty, dark shade is carried over the edges of the pictures, framing thele most effectively. The outer frame is not put on uptii all the inner portion is arranged and a glass is put over it; then the edges of the glass and of the cardboard foundation are held together in a passe partout fashion with wider velvet or satin ribbon. Thin glass should be used for glazing. Three rings for hangers should be attached to the cardboard back. This holder makes a particularly pretty decoration for a door. Pine twigs. that are not too dry and are of attractive, gnarled shape may be utilized for ever so many pretty knickknacks. The rustic picture frame is very pret- ty when made of green pine boughs with the needles and cones attached. The twigs are notched where they cross to make them lie flat and are held together by fine wire twisted about them. The oblong frame has an easel support at the back. and two bands of flat elastic are fastened across the back to hold the photograph with its glass, a small ledge of wood being tacked across the back of the lower twig for the glass and picture to rest upon. Care must be taken not to get the frame overbalanced by placing MORNING GOWN OF FRENCH FLANNEL. stitching; vest, collar and inner sleeves of white, with narrow black and white ribbons laid on. A large black bow and ends are placed on the left side. Fashions and Fancies. Long suede gloves, a pretty fashion that is returning, are drawn up the arm to meet the elbow sleeves. Tall men wear trousers of the "peg top" variety, tapering to a point at the shoe. Men are wearing the three button cutaway coat again, after a period of comparative neglect Cloths for men's fancy waistcoats collie in dark green, blue, brown or black, with small silk figures in bright, contrasting colors. In the friendly in- terchange of men's and women's fash- ions now going on these fabrics are bought frequently by women also for waistcoats to tailored gowns. The "corseted" man is a fact of this winter, which gives assurance of the shirt waist man again next summer. The "military corset" is the variety es- pecially dedicated to the use of man. The majority of skirts, both short and long, stand out well at the hem, this end being arrived at either by plaits, stitched flat for two-thirds of the way ddwn and then allowed to flow, or by many gores, sloped outward very sharply a little below the knee. Coats are unmistakably the favorite of the season, capes coming in a very bad second, coats running the whole gamth, from measuring the length of the figure to the irrepressible bolero. Sleevelets are confounding in their changes and subtleties, but obviously the crusadeion behalf of the bouffant sleeve has just begun. An altogether unexpected craze has cropped up for closely veiled effects. Thus, for a vest, gold tissue will be veiled with white chiffon or chine bro- cades with a fine silver tissue.

She, in,her helplessness is usuzilly behind the kangaroo and a her best only equals hint with the one pouch fastened at her waist. She has not evolved through the laws of na- ture, but under the sterner decrees of the dressmaker. What a difference between no pock- ets and a score of pockets! The first n is woman, the other man.

With a leap the girl gained her moth- er's bedside in the parlor. The sau- rians followed, and one of them over- turned the baby's cradle: Savannah lumped and grabbed the child.

Savannah thrust . the rifle into his wide open mouth, pull- ed the trigger, and a fortunate bullet ended the combat right there. A terrible incident of the night strug- gle, before the brave girl got her weap- on, was the chewing up of a little ne- gro boy who had been sleeping under a tree and who ran into the house de- spite the alarm.

When the suburban, through and freight trains which run out of the Un- ion station on the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy railway fly past certain of the watch towers of "signal blocks" scattered along the way. the levers con- trolling the semaphores which direct the train engineers bow to proceed are operated by women. Miss Angie B Gaines is the day and Miss Teresa Drew the night operator at Berwyn. Ills., with Miss Lizzie Alien as alter- nate, or "extra." Miss Aliei. Furniss is "block operator" at Grossdale, being on duty at night. Miss Helen McK.ir- han looks after the telegraph key and the signals at Western Spriugs, and Miss Adele Wurz keeps guard at the "X" bloc);, which is near Aurora. The "block operator," whether man or woman, must be, above all, an ex- , pert telegraph operator. Then a rath- er severe and searching medical exam- , ination must be undergone before the new applicant for railway employment is allowed to "post up" for the "extra list." Women are employed by the railroad whenever this seems possible because the salaries they command are a little smaller than those paid to men for the same services: The new oper- ator always begins with night duty, the day jobs, as most desirable. falling by right to the older employees. Each of the young women mentioned has passed many a long night in the lonely sigual box high above the tracks and the world of sleeping men and women. Noue will admit having been at all scared. nervous or timid when in that situation. Although each girl operator worlts 12 hours a day and seven days in the week the year round. with the exception of a two weeks' vacation. the block operators like their work. There is little to fear, they contend, since they can and do lock themselves safely in their towers at will, and there are many advantages. Above all, they are in a great degree their own super - An English Woman'. Opinion. Mrs. Alec Tweedie, a prominent Eng- lish woman of letters, who has been visiting the United States, has been writing home her impressions of the country. Every one, she says, does not chew gum in the States, as is commonly sup- posed, but a great number of people do, and it is really remarkable to an onlooker to watch a crowd of persons whose jaws are laboriously working up and down, just as a cow chews her cud. What a funny custom it is and one which makes it necessary j lift one's skirts on high when walking in the streets! If the gum habit and its results are objectionable, how delight- ful are the American women! They are bright, clever and amusing, well dressed, "too well dressed," Max O'Rell says. but always smart and. entertain- ing. The American man works from early morn to dewy eve making money "down town," and his wife spends it for him "up town." The men encour- age their wives to dress well, and cer- tainly the result is charming, added to which they are intellectually as smart and well groomed as they are -in their gowns. They dress plainly in the streets, the exigency of necessity. Cabs cost a fortune, and the only mode of transport Is the car. It is high to jump up or down. It barely waits a second, the passenger often has to stand. and the only kind of garment suitable is a plain tailor made. The American has realized the fact and adopted the habit. More than that. long skirts are in the way. and on wet days or in the morn- ing she sensibly wears quite a short one. like a short bicycle skirt. even in the city. The skirt is most practical and neat. but. alas. her boots are not in keeping. Thin shoes, with Louis Quinze heels, often appear below the business- like skirt. Bernhardt's influence. When considering the wonderful things which the dying century be- queathed to the new, it might be well to bear in mind Sarah Bernhardt. The lady is 55 years old. She has a son who is over 30. She looks upon the stage the slender girl whose part she portrays, the boy whose garb she assumes. Not Maude Adams herself in "L'Al- glon" looks more the boy of 20 than did Sarah Bernhardt, grandmother as she is, when she produced the play in Paris. She is the greatest influence today ti Be SsreAbout he Fo Was there ever, so high and decisive a test of the baking powders as that by the Govern- ment Chemists at the World's Columbian Fair ? The tests then made by the official experts showed that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder was the purest, strongest, most healthful of all the baking powders exhibited, and a . diploma and medal were awarded accordingly. It is such testimony as this which has established the use of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder in homes where pure -food and economy are appreciated. PRICE BAKING POWDER CO., CHICAGO. NOTE.—The alum baking powders, which are tho sold at lower prices, were excluded from consid• eration at this great competitive test because they are deemed unreliable and unwholesome over all the fashionable women of the world. Every woman who dresses in the mode anywhere on this oblate spheroid follows styles which Sarah Bernhardt has set, not those set by any younger woman, by any princess or great wom- en of the aristocracy. In "L'Aiglon" Bernbardt has con- vinced women that; graceful, sinuous curves are more beautiful than the bulging rolls of fat which escape above and below a "short" waist laced ten Inches toosmall. ma 1. By appearing asut wonderfully grace- ful boy she has cdnvinced women that a figure somewhht like that designed by the Almighty for womankind is more beautiful than the artificial idea of the corsetiere. Fashion follows her by placing one slavery on top of another. The short corset doesn't give place to freedom, but to the long corset, big at the waist and running from the tip of the bust nearly straight to the point of the ab- domen. - The fashion nicht be a great gain for health as well as beauty. If it is not, that's not the fault of Sarah Bern- hardt, 55, actress, grandmother, won- derful woman.—Exchange. Queen Victoria's Wealth. Queen Victoria has been spoken of as the wealthiest sovereign in Europe. but this is probably not the case. Her income from the natidn is only #385,000 a year. Much of this is used for salaries, alms and 116; tsions. The queen's privy purse is only f60,000 a year, but in addition she receives f60.,- 000 from the revenues of the duchy of Lancaster, and there remains from the civil list £36,000, which may be applied to general expenditure. In the time of the Georges the civil list amounted to £1,000.000 a yeat. Living was cheaper then too. It is known, of course, that the queen was a few years ago the recipient of a bequest of £2.10,000. The Balmoral es- tate is also hers. The ground was pur- chased from the Fife estate for £32,- 000, and the house was built by the prince consort out of his own savings. From him also Queen Victoria received about #400,000. The mounts saved from the civil list have n deeply cut into to provide settlements and mar- riage portions for the queen's grand- children, and it is probable that if the sovereign were to die her will would dispose of less than £3,000,000 worth of property. In return for the civil list allowances the British sovereign some years ago relinquished all claim to land, castles, jewels and other property of the crown except the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, and the other monarchs of Europe have done the same, with the exception of the czar of Russia, who Is now the richest of them all.—Scottish American. Leu Ceremony,' Short dinners and much simpler ones than were heretofore served are now the order of the dining room, and be- tides the clothless board—where the hostess is the proud possessor of beau- tiful mahogany or real old oak—there are many possible changes to be rung, such, for instance, as sets of mats en suite for every guest, n6 end of va- riety in the way of side cloths and, lastly, the whole damask or other ma- terial which is intended to be a record of the autographs of the assembled guests! This, at any rate, is what a publication announces as imminent in our society fashions. It would cer- tainly be heralding a set of quaint and I most interesting collections. The cen- ter cloth or strip is also reappearing at! many informal but very soignee func- tions. which Is not to be deplored, as, ! when flowers are scarce and rather prohibitive in price, the more modest hostess is rather at a loss fqr some- thing with which to lend the charm of coloring to her table. Vegetable Salts Lost. The cookery of the present Jay, says a prominent physician, is conducted so as to ell inate nearly all the vegetable salts. The water in twhich they have been cooked is thrown away, and when the food is ready for the table It has been deprived of many of its natural properties. Vegetable salts are espe- cially serviceable when given in the form of food, and if we would mitigate the misery caused by rheumatism and various skin diseases we must begin byreform in the kitchen Thevegeta- bles should be prepared, he says, so as to retain all salts and should become•a part of the daily food. The salts were intend for use in the animal econo- my, when not supplied the system Is robbed of an essential ingredient of food and will thus more readily re- spond to discomfort and disease. Veg- etable salts help to render certain sub- stances soluble and stimulate the cells of certain glands to a more active se- cretion. WheeIwomen In Europe. Wbeelwomen in Europe meet with navy difficulties. In Russia every - :hang is managed "by order of the czar," and cycling is no exception to ithe rule. Before a woman can possess a wheel she must obtain royal consent. and as this is granted quite sparingly there are but few wbeelwomen in Rus- sia. France recognizes the right of the • husband to be boss, and before ma- dame can join the touring club she must first obtain a signed declaration from her spouse grauting her the privi- 1 lege. 1 In Florence women cyclists must car- ry two bells to waru pedestrians of the machine's approach. Men are re- quired to have only one bell. Fashionable Use For Photographs. Now that every one in society pos- 1 sesses one or two cameras, the latest thing is to find a new way of disposing of the photographs that have been tak- ' en. Scrap albums are just a little out 1 of date, and it is far smarter to have i your photographs mounted in a long green frame that runs round your room above the dado and so arranged that from time to time tbe sets may be changed. Another favorite way is to arrange them as stereoscopic views and family groups. Interiors and pastoral scenery are quite charming wben used in this way. Be Greater Than Your Position. A distinguished theological professor once said, "If I had a sou, 1 should tell him many times a -day to make himself as big a man on the inside as possible." Young men too often want to be big men on the outside, to occupy positions which fit them as a turtle's shell fits a clam. Never mind your position, young man. Whatever it may be, try to fill it. The duties which you have to perform may seem trivial, but because it is a small position to no reason why you should be a small man. You may be big inside, you know, if you are small outside. The young man who applies himself to internal growth, as it were, is bound in time to find a place where he will be able to use every power he possesses. At any rate, better be a big man in a small place than the opposite. A pinch- of powder in a small cartridge can make a deal of noise and drive a bullet a long way. What can it do in a Krupp gun 3—Success. How to Shake Hand.. The proper way to shake hands Should always be the sincere and nat- ural way, but if you ask what is most In vogue at the time we should say the circular movement, with the elbow raised slightly, allowing your hand to fall from the right toward the hand of your friend very lightly, but with in- creasing pressure as the band descends, remarks one of the experts on etiquette. Comparative Longevity. It has often been remarked that while nothing is so uncertain as the du- ration of any given human life nothing is more certain than the aggregate of years which may be assigned to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age. The expectation of life at a given age. to use the actuarial phraje, differs considerably, as might be epected, in different countries. and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest living mon he among white to r aces. At the age of 20 au Englishman in average health may expect to live 42 years, and any life office will grant him a policy based on that probability. The American's expectation is for a slightly longer period. On the other hand, a German lad of 20 can count upon little more than 39 years and a half. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American temperament does not necessarily con- duce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to its pro- longation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the poulation are the princi- pal causes of their greater longevity. Their position is, at any rate, main- tained in later its well as in earlier ears. I The American- who has reached 60 may look to complete 14 years more, while the Britisher's expectation is on- ly about 13 years and 10 months and the German's as nearly as possible 12 months less. Both at 20 and at 60 the Frenchman's prospect is a little better than the German's and a little wtbt'se than the Englishman's.—London Globe. Economical Training of Gunners. The method used in the United States navy for the economical training of the gunners is very interesting. It is a well known fact that the cost of firing one of the large guns used,in the navy is very great. amounting sometimes to $1,000 or more. To save this expense a very simple metkod is employed. In the case of the large guns an ordinary► Remington rifle is secured in the breech of the gun and directly in the center of the bore. so that when it is fired its bullet takes the same direction as that of the regular projectile. The large gun is sighted in the usual.manner. On account of the lesser velocity of the small bullet tbe target is placed close to the ship and is made corresponding- ly small. The method used for the 6 pounder or other small guns is slightly differ- ent, as instead of the small rifle a wgoden or dummy cartridge the same .size as the regular cartridge is em- ployed. 'Through the center of this wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel which Is loaded with a .44 caliber car- tridge. This latter method has the ad- ditional advantage of giving the gun crew practice in loading ns well as fir- ing.—Washington Star. Shooting Around Corners. Two wonderful inventions to enable soldiers to practically shoot around corners are announced. One is a Ger- man invention and the other the prod- uct of an Englishman's brain, but they both seem to be on much the same principle. The English device 1s at- tached to the stock of the rifle, and it enables the marksman to not only sight his weapon behind cover, but also to find his target and his range at the same time. With the German arrange- ment. which the German war office bas promptly secured, the soldier is said to be able to sight his rifle while be remains under cover, but all other par- ticulars are withheld. Longest Electric Sparks. The celebrated Spottiswoode coil, built under the auspices of the Royal society, gave a spark of 42 inches. The Queen coils are to give a spark of 45 Inches, expending an energy of three to four horsepower and having a po tential of 500,000 volts. INGENIOUS RAT TRAP. Tarnishes Vermin With Means of Suicide. A Milwaukee avenue inventor thinks le has solved the problem of how to induce rata and mice to exterminate themselves and assist in the annihila- tion of those that come after them. Ile is S. Ruckersberg, and his annihila- tor is a self acting rat trap, according to the Chicago Record. The first night the trap is in action it is tightly closed and loaded with a ta- SELFSACTINO RAT TRAP. ble d'hote dinner. The second night the hearts of the hungry rodents are made glad by the sight of an open door at one end. As it advances the rat's weight overbalances sheet iron false floor, the door falls with a click, and his ratship is doomed. Inspection dis- closes but one way of escape, up a boxlike flue, and this he accepts.' Once again an automatic door closes.' The way leads Into a large tin funnel. The rat walks tln.until the funnel tips, and it is precipitited into a can of water. The tipping of*the funnel raises the door to the first entrance, and things are in readiness for the next adven- turer. In four nights 113 rats were captured and disposed of in one of the big clubhouses. The World Shipping. Lloyd'sjtegister, the new edition of which has ust peared, gives as usu- al a vast am t of, valuable statistics rel n zits t the mercantile the warm g of o� the entireorld. There are now 28,- 422 vessels having a tonnage of 29,043,- 728. Great Britain has 10,838 vessels, and her tonnage is 14,261,254. From this, says The Scientific American, it will be seen t'l,the numerical propor- tion of British ships is not so great as is the case with some other countries, because the greater part of her ships are of larger size than those of other countries, and more of tient are steam vessels. It is gratifying to note that the United States comes next to the British empire. We h aA 3,135 vessels with a tonnage of 2,750,271. Germany has 1,710 vessels having 'a tonnage of 2,650,03. Then comes Norway with 2,380 vessels with a tonnage of 1,640,- 812, then France with 1,214 vessels 'having a tonnage of 1,350.562 and Italy with 1,176 vessels having a tonnage of 983,653. Sweden has a greater number of vessels than France, having 1,433, but as the vessels are smaller the ton- nage is only 637,272. Japan has 1,066 vessels, the tonnage being 574,557; Hol- land, 406 vessels with a tonnage of 530,277; Denmark, 802 vessels with a tonnage of 519,011; Austria-Hungary, 270 vessels with a tonnage of 416,084. Greece, Brazil, Belgium, Portugal and Chile all have a tonnage in excess of 100,000. The steam tonnage of the British merchant navy is superior to that of all other countries combined, but nearly half of the tonnage of the United States is made up of sailing vessels. Great Britain his more than 1,600 steamers of 3,000 tons and up- ward. Germany has 127 of the same size, the United States 120 and France 60. Great Britain now has 24 steamers with a register of 10,000 tons or more. The Benzine Risk. In most printing offices benzine is used to wash the ink from type. Some weeks ago a boy in such an office while handling a can of benzine set it down with unusual force, causing some of the benzine to fly out. It fell on a gas stove, and this resulted in serious dam- age to the printing office, but fortu- nately no one was injured. It is sur- prising that more accidents of thi6 nature do not occur. With the use of such an inflammable and explosive substance as benzine the greatest pr, caution should be used, and in no case should any benzine or naphtha be used for cleaning or other purposes in a room which 'has any light or fire, ex- cept. of course, tl>e electric light.—Sci- entiflc American. A New Industry. According to The Scientific Ameri- can, Dr. Ormondy has discovered a process of brick manufacture by which the immense heaps of spent sand and refuse glass with which all glass works are surrounded may be converted into serviceable building material. The new process is said to be economical and cheap and to furnish bricks having many advantages over those at present in general use. The amount of waste material available for this purpose may be judged from the fact that at the glass works of Pilkington Bros. In Great Britain there is an accumulation of this refuse of over 1,500,000 tons, and the pile is now being added to at the rate of 1,200 tons a week. The Eyelid. Experiment proves that it takes over one-third of a second for the eyelid to open and close. INSECTS IN METAL. How They Are Made—Ingenious De- vice of a French an. Did you ever see a coppei caterpillar, a silver ceutiped or a nickel gnat? Yet these and many similar objects can be had, If not for the asking, at least for a reasonable amount of money at sev- eral places in New York. Who discov- ered the curious art is unknown, but it was introduced into this city by an ec- centric Frenchman who said that be had elaborated,the discovery of some chemists in Paris. 111. Paul Despotte, for such was the man's name, declared his secret to be as follows: He first dampened the luckless insect,leaf or flower and then blew on it with a blow- pipe. The object thus dusted was placed in an electrolytic bath, and upon it the metal was precipitated by the galvanic current. The object was then transferred to a second bath,' from which all the organic matter was dis- solved by an alkali. The metallic shell which remained was slightly heated, touched with some kind of shellac, and the thing was done. The inventor car- ried with him quite a collection of these preparations. The most interest- ing of all "re a mosqujto in gold and a hairy 6ranium leaf in copper. The delicacy of the work was ex* traordinary. Under a powerful magni- fj3,ng glass the little organs which are Invisible to the human eye were seen perfectly reproduced in metal. The discovery docs not seem to have been utilized to any great extent, so far as trade is concerned, but has been taken up by many amateurs. This fall an in- genious girl up town first covered the back of her hand with black lead and then plated it with metal. She re- moved this which; was a perfect cast, and used if as a matrix, in which she deposited a second coat of metal, whifh she finily mounted on a piece of satin. Her hand, as may be supposed, was pretty and when reproduced in copper made a work of art as novel as it was attractive.—New York Post. The Stewart Mansion. The old Stewart house at Fifth av- enue and Thirty-fourth street, New York city, which has just been sold, is still looked upon by country visitors as a model of a New York palace. When A. T. Stewart built the house, nearly 40 years ago, he was one of the most talked about of New York's million- aires. Every oyisitor to the city saw Stewart's store as one of the sights and then gazed on thsterior of his new house. The appo!ntments of this man- sion were so embellished by the imagi- nation that Stewart himself would not have recognized them. From its situ- 4tion and style the house has always been conspicuous, but as a residenceit would not bear comparison with any one of a hundred New York bouses. Since Mrs. Stewart's eath the only tenant of this property has been the Manhattan club, and th t organization was almost killed by it. Since the Manhattan club moved down to the University club's old house the proper- ty bas been for sale. Rumor has turned it into a restaurant several times and once into a store, and now there is no certainty as to what will be done with it. It is a conspicuous monument to A. T. Stewart's fortune, and so long as it stands it will be known as the Stewart house. Clever Yankee Ruse. We should not be surprised if quite a fresh stimulus were given to emigra- tiokto the United States when the con- tents of a recent interesting telegram are made more widely known. This laconic message says that; according to recent statistics, the total population of the United States is 76,000,000; and of these only 2 per cent possess a piano. It is only those who Lave suffered and are suffering from the piano plague that stalks incessantly about our towns and suburbs who can appreciate the importance of such a message, and the very thought of a country where only one family in 50 has daughters addict- ed to the daily practice of scales, chro- matic and otherwise, is a temptation to the victims of the ever present piano to remove themselves and their house- hold gods to the other side of the At- lantic. Truly a cleverer move for at- tracting a colony of peace loving, desir- able immigrants than this diplomatic telegram could not have been made. It does the greatest credit to Yankee cttte- ness.—Westminster Budget. Loto. Club Menu Cards. One of the features of the Mark Twain dinner at the Lotos club was the menu card. on which was printed a photogravure portrait of Mr. Clemens, with his nLite hair surrounded with lotos blossoms. These appropriate menu cards have been for many years features of the Lotos club dinners. They are usually bound in a folded sheet of rough. dark colored paper. The art work on them is of the best, and a complete collection of them which hangs on the walls of the club's cafe makes an interesting pictorial his- tory of the .club's remarkable series of dinners. Every visitor to New York during the past 25 years who was con- spicuous in music, art, the stage, liter- ature or politics has been entertained by the Lotos club, and the dinner cards on each occasion have been emblematic of the career of the guest of bon—or. The cards, which hang in the grill- room, have each the autograph of the guest In whose honor the dinner was given.—New York Sun. Oaychophagla.

Near them on the walk were bulging packages, a valise, and another receptacle which they eyed with hungered joy. It was a large basket filled to the brim with good things to eat, and out of the corner peeped a plump pie which made the boys impatient for the arrival of the train and the noon hour. These little boys, about ten and twelve years of age, werejust paroled from the training school'. They had been sent for by their father in Oklahoma, and were full of happiness at the prospects of again meeting their parents.—Red Wing Republican. Sam Dewing has a fine new addi- tion to his farm residence, and the best of it is Sam didn't know a thing about it until it was all done. While he was away on his deer hunting trip his good wife employed carpenters, purchased lumber and materials, and caused a commodious addition to be constructed. When Sam returned home he didn't know his own place until he was reassured by a warm welcome from his wife and family. He says it's just what he needed, is glad it's done, and glad he was away while the 'job was being done.— Hutchinson Leader. A clear case t a bum dropped into the Sawyer Hou this morning, that is the bar annex, laid down a dime, and asked for whisky. The accom- modating barkeep passed out the bottle and a fair sized glass. Mr. Bum filled it to the brim and down it went where it would do him the most good. The man with the white apron said, "What de you think that is, cider?” "No, bless you, me boy, I wouldn't drink that much cider for a hundred dollars."—Stillwater Gazette. We hope that when a new state superintendent of schools is appointed some one will be chosen who will change the present system of running the public school examinations on a time card schedule to something that will give the pupils a chance. It is not how quick, but how well, a scholar knows a thing that is import- ant. --Morris Sun. Mayor Lytle, of South St. Paul, made a splendid run for representa- tive. In that democratic stronghold he came within one hundred and fifty- eight votes, according to the official returns, of being elected. The mayor is a vigorous fellow, and will he beard from later in the politics of the country.— West St. Paul Tinges.

As everybody- knows we did some canvassing with L. L., Brown, the democratic candidate for congress in this district, during the campaign just closed. One night, after the speeches were over, we decided to drive several miles into the country to see a farmer who was considered a political power in his 'locality. On reaching the place we found he was away from home, and would not re- turn for several days. We were obliged to remain all night, as it was too late to drive back to town. The farmer's wife desired to show us to bed in the spare room, but something seemed to bother Brown, and' he hesitated. Finally he said, "If you will give us a couple of quilts we will sleep in the haymow. Your husband is away, and it might start a scandal to have a man who is running for congress to sleep in the house." Tke lady protested, but Brown was firm and we slept in the haymow. Next morning, just as we were coming out of our sleeping quarters, the farmer's wife was letting the cows out of the yard. She then went to a little shed near the barn, opened the door, and hit a big gentleman cow who was sleeping therein with a chub, saying, "Get up, you good for nothing brute, and go with the cows. You're not running for congress." Then we looked at Brown and Brown looked at us, and this is the first time the matter has been mentioned since that day.—Wabasha Herald. A Successful Entertainment. The entertainment at the auditori- um of the high school. on Wednesday evening was a very. successful One, and thoroughly enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience. The pro- gramme was as follows: ? Music, Ladies' Semi -Chorus. Violin solo, Fritz W. Meyer. Lecture, President Cyrus Northrop. Song, Miss Birdie Kranz. Recitation, Miss MargaretC, Heinen. Violin solo, Fritz W. Meyer. • Music, Ladies' Semi -Chorus. The lecture of President Northrop upon Amuselnent in Literature was a rare treat. It gave an illustration -of some of the best examples of wit and humor in literature, and several of his happy thoughts brought rounds of applause. He summed up by stating that life should not be all laughter or all tears, but a gentle and graceful blending of the two. Mr. Northrop is an eloquent speaker, and it is -hoped to have ,the pleasure of hearing him again in the near future. The net receipts were about $43. Mrs, Della Gertrude Felton Adams died on Sunday, after being uncon- scious forthirty-six hours. A baby boy was born on Wednesday,C which preceded his mother in death. Funer- al services were held at the home on Sunday evening; a very large attend- ance testifying the respect in which the family is held. Upon so short a notice it was remarkable that such numbers came together to the service. The sermon by the Rev. Eben Her- bert, pastor of the Congregational Church, of which the deceased was a member, was from Revelations', The gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, and there shall be no right here." The loveliest flowers in great (% ofusion covered the casket and a large concourse followed the remains to the Episcopal cemetery; where they were laid to rest at dusk: Our heartfelt sympathies are with the bereaved family in the home ren- dered so desolate,—Jfantgnnond (La.)

"We have an idea that Christmases as they are celebrated in homes of great wealth must be ideal," writes Edward Bok in a plea for a simpler life—a simpler celebration of Christ- mas—in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Yet often as an actual 'fact no more lonesome Christmas days are spent anywhere that in these homes of plen- ty. Riches on Christmas are often like sweet bells out of tune. Nothing was simpler than the first Christmas day, and its strongest appeal to our natures, although we do not always know it, is because it was so simple. Nothing is so fatal to our deepest and truest en- joyplent as the realization that we can have whatever we will simply for the wishing or asking. All value is lost then. It is a hard truth for those who have little to believe that the greatest happiness of life is with them; that it is not with those who have abundance. The more we have the less we actually enjoy it. There is a law of compensa- tion that comes in there. The lives of those who have abundance are vastly more complicated than rare to lives of those who have little. We are wont to say, 'Oh, well, I'd like to try once hav- ing all the money I wanted,' Thou- sands have said the same thing only to have their wish come true and to realize that happiness lay not along the Way they thought. It is strange how the poor envy the rich and then to see how the rich envy the greater and full- er happiness of those who have less. The woman of simplest means Is the happiest woman on earth,, if she only knew it. She is happiest because her life is simplest and therefore truest." Silk Stockings. The girl who never wore silk stock- ings wears them this season. It is in the air — a statement less improper than it sounds. Women have suddenly developed a mania for fancy and beau- tiful hosiery, and the stocking counter of a good shop would make a rainbow feel faded. The openwork stockings have reached a point of filminess that is more marvelous than beautiful, and the most modish women prefer fine silk in solid color, hand embroidered or with inset lace or applique over the ankle. One woman at Newport has started a fad for plain ailk stockings in one solid color and w'lth the owner's mon- ogram exquisitely embroidered on the ankle, and stocking embroidery is be- coming a favo fancy work of the summer girl. It is prophes , too, that next Christ- mas, instead of a deluge of embroid- ered suspenders and dress shirt pro- tectors, men will receive dainty boxes of silk hose, each pair embroidered at the tops in front with elaborate mono- grams. Of course the men would rath- er, far rather, have bright purple hose zigzagged with scarlet lightning, but they will have to endure the affliction the best they can.—Philadelphia In- quirer. A Real Business Woman. Miss Balfour, the sister of Arthur J. Balfour, government leader in the house of commons, is noted for her de- votion to her brother's interests, and she manages most of his affairs so as to leave him entirely free for his po- litical work, says the Detroit Free Press. She not alone superintends the household in the conventional way, but looks after outside details which are usually left to the supervision and di- re9tion of the master of the house. Mr. Balfour is never bothered when the chimney needs attention, the roof re - tiling or any matter of this kind. Miss Balfour attends to defects and gives the orders herself. She also buys the horses and carriages and is said to be welkqualifled for the work and a good judge of both horses and carriages. Recently she had a special brougham made for her brother's use, attending to the details herself. As an instance of her care and interest, it is said that if there Is a possibility of her brother needing a conveyance and she desires to take a drive the best carriage and the first coachman will be left for Mr. Balfour, and she will take the second carriage and second coachman. An Indian Cotillon, A recent debutante's dance took the form of an 'Indian cotillon. Partners were chosen by means of colored pic- tures of Indian chiefs and princesses. Beneath each pair, the Indian and his princess, was written a tribal name, as the Apaches, enecas, Iroquois, Semi- noles and mo e. The man who drew a Mohawk chief paired off with the girl to whom the Mohawk princess had fallen and so on. The favors were genuine Indian trinkets gathered for the purpose in a summer trip through Canada and the northwest and includ- ed bows and arrows, moccasins, canoes of many styles, baskets innumerable and varied, toboggans, shovels, snow- shoes, lacrosse sticks, paddles, pipes and the rest of the listof Indian be- longings. The ices were served as tomahawks, canoes and pipes, and the decorations of the table carried out still further the Indian scheme.—New York Post. What Woman Is Fit For, Teaching and philanthropy are the two lines of specialization which Seth Low recommends to college women. In his -welcome to the collegiate almmnee who visited Barnard he pointed out woman's peculiar fitness for both pro - Iessions. "In some lines of specialisation, I suppose," he said, "women can never hope to compete with men, but their strong emotions and natural gifts In- cline them largely to the field of phi- lanthropy. I believe that one part of . the command 'to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind' has been: heretofore overlooked. When we serve with the mind as well as with the heart and the soul, we make philanthropy, wiser." No Pnss1e to Cho R. D. Wilton—Do you know, I'm in a quan- dary. Tilton—Well, what is it?

The trees unfold their robes of silvery green, And thrifty insects from the blossoms glean; Each birdling finds a mate both fond and true, And I, dear Love, have you. Dear Love, in summer time each lengthened day To harvest fields a tribute rich must pay Of sunshine packed in grains of yellow corn. The earth is weighted with the season's store; No creature, tree nor vine can ask for more. Nature has satisfied each bird and bee. Has given you to me. Dear Love, chill fall doth paint in colors rare The forests and the fields that soon grow bare As winter clasps them to her icy breast.

And indeed it did seem to illumin with its friendly radiance the little story house by the roadside. It loo like a beacon—a star. It made Far Brown think in admiring but unfor fated fashion of a steadfast loves pu unwavering, brilliant. It attrac film. It drew him—the worn a harassed body and soul of him. L'nc sciously he tightened the reins. Bu was not until the plodding hor stood still in response that he w dered whether he might venture and what excuse he could give for hi visit. Suddenly he lifted his head an sniffed—once, twice. Then he hurried ly twisted the reins around the whip stock and clambered down from th high seat. Swiftly, soundlessly. ex cure and encouragement had come to him -1n the guise of an odor at that. "Chili . sauce! If she ain't a-makin chili sauce!" He was hurrying up the short path to the front door, at which he knocked. "I'll tell her I want the re- ceipt for Susie Reilly to slake some by. That's the ticket! Oh, howdy, Mis' Richards! I was goln home from mill an the nicest smell come a-floatin down the road! Seemed 's if I was back in mother's again, an she was puttin up chill sauce." He sighed and moistened lila lips at the recollection. "So I thought I'd come in an find how you make it. Our ripe tomatoes ain't all gone yet. Maybe Susie Reilly could make a quart or so!" Forty placid and benignant summers had passed over the brown head of Elvira Richards, but where was the girl along Turkey creek who carried herself with more grace and dignity, and what matron could boast such a fresh complexion and bright eyes as she? "To be sure!" she cried heartily. "You „ ou come right in, Mr. Brov\ n. She drew forward the best rocking chair, with the Battenberg tidies on the en- treating red plush arms. " "''Isn't much I need make, livin alone as I do, but a good storeroom is a fine thing to fall back on. You'd need a lot in your house, I'm thinkln. I'll give you the receipt with pleasure, an a jar to take home for Susie to taste by. How does she get on, Mr. Brown?" Barstow Brown looked around the bright little room, at the shining glass lamp with the red flannel wick, which stood behind the row of freshly potted geranium slips in the recessed window, then back at the plump, white aproued figure opposite.

"The young ones. they'll be a-missin me." "Land's sake, now, an you couldn't wait till I make you a cup of coffee? No? That's too bad. Walt till I get you the chili sauce, anyhow. What's that? Could you come out to the kitch- en while I'm a-gettin it? Why, of course, Mr. Brown!" Twittering and stepping briskly, Miss Elvira tripped ahead, and Bar- stow Brown plodded after. He was aghast at his own temerity, but the appetizing smell of the chill sauce drew him to the kitchen as the white brilliance of the lamp had drawn him to the parlor. "My!" He breathed and stopped short. "This beats"— He was looking around the gayest, coziest, most im- maculate little kitchen he had ever be- held. From the black mirror of a stove, with its golden grin through the opened draft, to the shining plates on the dresser, the row of crimson filled glass jars on the table, the dishpan that glittered like silver and the eat asleep on the braided mat, all things bespoke industry, energy, comfort. Something in his attitude of timidi- ty, in his look of wonder, that was al- most one of awe; in his neglected per- sonal appearance, went straight to the woman's warm heart of Mess Elvira Richards. He had been such a spruce, good looking fellow 15 yeers ago! Her glance, that was keen of kindly, noted all things—the shirt, with the band all gone; the coat, with holes at the el- bows; more than all, the hollows at his temples and in his cheeks. Those— and the weak tears that came into his eyes! She busied herself writing out the recipe—and talking. "It ain't any too easy, I guess, with emir Susie. She never was a hand to Barstow Brown was silent. It had not been a happy home before Cyrllla died. But he could not tell Miss Rfdh- ards that. No, nor any one else. Only he had meant—had honorably meant— to ask Elvira to marry him before the pretty, painted, flippant little city girl had come down to the country town and taken bis fickle heart captive. "Here's the receipt, an here's the jar. Yes, you must take the big one, an—why—Barst9w!" For there was a look to his eyes she had not:seen since those happy days before Cyrllla aired her city graces on Turkey creek. "I'm a good deal of a failure, EIvi- ry," said Barstow Brown. "I don't know but You'll turn me out when you hear what I been wantin to say ever since it would be right an proper to talk that way. But the farm's a good one, an the house could be made the best hereabouts if 'twas fixed up right, an the children"— "They're dear children!" declared Miss Elvira, and she meant it. "Well, they like you awful well. You allus was a one to git around young- sters. I—I"—he dropped his eyes—"I guess you know what I mean, Elviry— what I want!" "Of course I do!" she cried cordially. "You want the recelpt an the chill sauce." "Now, Elviry! You know I want— you!" "Well, you got to take tbem if you take me!" Her tone was delightfully coquetekh. "I got one in each hand!" IIe stared at her, eager, bait incredu- lous. "Do you mean it—really? There's been others"— "There's been others," Miss Elvira agreed complacently, "but—I haven't took any of 'em—have I?

Blanched almonds are the highest kind of nerve or brain or muscae food, having no heat or waste, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. Walnuts give brain or nerve food, muscle, beat and waste. Green water grapes are blood purifying, but of little food value. Blue grapes are feeding and blood purifying, but too rich for those who suffer from the liver. Tomatoes have higher nerve or brain food qualities; they are thin- ning and stimulating. Juicy fruits give more or less nerve or brain nutriment and some few muscle food and waste. Apples supply the higher nerve and muscle food. but do not give staying qualities. Prunes afford the highest nerve or brain food, supply heat and waste, but are not muscle feeding. Or- anges are refreshing and feeding. Green figs contain nerve and muscle food. heat and waste. The great ma- jority of small fresh seed fruits are laxative. Lemons and tomatoes should not be used daily in cold weather; they have a thinning and cooling effect. Raisins are stimulating according to their quality. John's Many Names.

After the young housewife discovers that there Is considerable difference between a leg of Iamb and a leg of beef she has other surprises in store for her. A young married woman on the North Side hired her first girl the other day, a stout and pretty Irish lass. and, finding her both willing and able, was delighted with her good fortune. So, wishing to be agreeable, she said kindly: "Mary, if you wish to entertain the policeman I shall not object provided of course that you do not make it a reg- ular habit." "What do 1 want with a policeman?" demanded the girl indignantly. "Why, I thought all you girls did," stammered the lady. "You thought wrong," said Mary coldly.

About the middle of the day Dr. Tuke came to see what progress had been made wi th the work and mildly suggested some alterations. The laborer dug on without ever lifting his head. The doc- tor raised his voice and spoke more emphatically, but the workman took no notice. Then the doctor threatened, stormed and finally demanded: "Doou y know who I am?" The man straightened his back delib- erately and, leaning on the head of his spade, looked at him for a minute and, shading his head, sympathetically said: "Purr, deleerious crater, I'm rael sor- ry for e'e!" and went on with his work.

The healthiness of Chinese cities bas been ingeniously attributed by some people to the universal habit of fan- ning, a practice which is said to keep the atmosphere In constant circulation. How far this explanation can be deem- ed to suffice we must leave experts to decide, but so far as a contaminated water supply is concerned we believe that the real secret of immunity from its evil effects lies In the universal cus- tom of boiling all water intended for drinking. As a matter of fact, the Chinese nev- er drink cold water. The national bev- erage, which in a true sense may be said to cheer but not inebriate, is tea, and this is always "on tap," even in the houses of the very poor. The na- tive aversion to cold waterls undoubt- edly carried to extremes and certainly induces diseases which might easily be avoided by a judicious system of out- ward application The Remedy.

It is not generally known, but the largest hopyards in the world are in California, along the Sacramento, Russian and Feather rivers, and the very biggest hopfield on earth is at Pleasanton, In Alameda county, where there are 368 acres, with more than 445,000 vines under one wire. As the picking must all be done by hand and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best, army of people has to be sudden mustered for the harvest. The mild climatic conditions that favor the de- velopment of the hop and the pleasant inland valleys where it is grown com- bine to make hop picking something of a summer time delight, for the work is neither difficult nor arduous. and the pay is fair. There are but two drawbacks to hop picking. One is so called hop poisoning, which is simply a sort of prickly heat or rash sometimes pro- duced by contact of face• and arms with the nettlelike fuzz on the stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark stain- ing of the hands resulting from the resin of the blossom. It may be re- moved by rubbing with the crushed green leaves of the hop.—Nan Francis\ co Chronicle. The Halberd.

In general, says The Weather Review, sponta- neous combustion is not to he feared if the fresh supply of oxygen from the at- mosphere is cut off. If_ the inflamma- ble substance is confined within a non- conducting inclosure, such as the in- terior of a bale of cotton or a tight room or a closed box, its temperature may attain a point surpassing the point of ignition, but danger does not occur until the inclosure is opened and a fresh supply of oxygen is suddenly ad- mitted, when, of course, everything breaks out in flame. The best pre- ventive of spontaneous combustion is a rapid and complete ventilation, by which the oxidizing and fermenting substances are kept cooled down below the point of ignition. Four Kings and a Joker. At the time of Colonel Cody's advent into the capital of Germany the old Emperor William was entertaining there three kings of smaller Germanic powers. The royal gentlemen were very, much It;terested In the Buffalo Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was the recipient of many favors from the emperor himself. One feature of the performance was the exhibition of the antiquated Deadwood coach containing passengers who are attacked by In- dians and finally rescued by cowboys. The kaiser asked to be allowed to ride in this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate in this inter- estingexperience. P crien ce. The request was of course ran granted, andwhen the coach was furiously assailed by howling In- dians its inmates were as usual saved by gallant cowboys. After it was over and as the royal party were descending from the coach the emperor remarked: "Colonel Cody, I do not suppose this is the first time that you have ever held four kings." "No, your majesty," returned the quick witted scout, "but this is the first time I ever held four kings and a royal joker at the same time!"—San Frapcis- co Evening Post. How to Give a Cat Medicine. A gentleman has a very fine Angora cat and so fine a specimen of her kind that she is famous in a large circle of fashionable folk. She is not rugged in health, yet she cannot be,persuaded to take physic, says Popular Science. it bas been put in her milk, it has been mixed with her meat, it has even been rudely and violently rubbed in her mouth, but never has she been deluded or forced into swallowing any of it. Last week a green Irish girl appeared among the household servants. She heard about the failure to treat the cat. "Sure," said she, "give me the medi- cine and some lard, and I'll warrant she'll be sting all 1 give her." She mixed the powder and the grease and smeared it on the cat's sides. Pussy at once licked both sides clean and swallowed all the physic. "Faith," raid_the servant girl, "everybody in Ireland does know how to give medi- cine to a cat."

HASTINGS, 1VIINN., SATURDAY. DECEMBER. 0, 1900. WHAT "LLOYD'S" MEANS, Famous London Ship Register and Its Steel Tester. People who are not Interested In a business way in the subject of shipping seldom know w!tat is meant by the tie- scription ci' a ship as of "2,000 tous register" or why "tons register" is not the sane. : st "displacement" or why any "register" should enter into the „c— subject at all or, if it does. what "regis- ter." On the other hand, a good many people know that the register of all shipping i_. Lloyd's Register. and it is vaguely understood that a merchant ship, po matter what flag it carries, is all the better for being rated "Al" at ` Lloyd's. There is a further question which most people are still more will- ing to leave in the vague, and that is. How does Lloyd come to know so much about two-thirds of all the merchant ships afloat that his guarantee of their seaworthiness is accepted everywhere without question? These questions are answered by the New York Tribune. Lloyd's Register of Merchant Ships is an institution which grew up in the middle of the last century in a London coffee house where merchants congre- gated to hear and to give news of their several maritime ventures. In course of time it came to be accepted as safe to intrust one's cargo to any ship that was guaranteed on the register kept at Lloyd's. But the degree of certainty in the knowledge; and with it the value of Lloyd's certificate, has increased enor- mously since hulls bean to be built of steel and the strength of materials to be accurately measured by means of scientifically made apparatus. Lloyd's maintains not only expert agents in all the great shipbuilding centers. but equally expert agents at the great centers of steel manufacture. Besides its agents in New York and other great ports, who have various kinds of work to do, Lloyd's keeps a special expert agent at Pittsburg who has nothing to do but test the steel turned out there for use in the building of merchant ships. With the testing of armor plates or of any material intend- ed for use in the construction of war vessels this particular expert has no concern. The Lloyd's agent at Pittsburg has to be continually at the beck of a large number of mills, mostly at Homestead, a suburb of Pittsburg, on the opposite bank of the Monongahela river. When any mill has a sufcient unmber of atons of shipbuilding steel ready the agent is notified to come and make the tests, without which the steel will not be accepted by the shipbuilders. These tests are purely mechanical. not chem- ical. A piece is nipped off any beam, plate or what not at any point and of whatever size the examiner may choose to indicate and submitted to the double test for both tensile and bending strains. In common language, the steel is tested to see how much weight it will near without pulling out like hot candy and again with a view to the pressure necessary to make it bulge like an over- packed bandbox. These tests are ap- plied by weans of accurately graded machines n hich the uninitiated might easily mistake for weighing machines and which are supplied and kept in or- der by the mills. though always sub- ject to the inspection and approval of the Lloyd's man. Every separate piece tested by these means and found satis- factory is marked by the examiner and the mark entered by him in the invoice which is to be forwarded to the Lloyd's agent at the port from which the ma- terial will be shipped. The Lloyd's agent at Pittsbuf•g is the only one at present engaged in this particular work in the United States, though there are several such scattered about among the great steel manufacturing centers of Great Britaiu and continental Eu- rope. For Freezing Meat. A new process for the refrigeration of meat h s recently been patented by a German 'firm which is vastly superior to the priaclple of freezing the meat as is at pre ent generally adopted. A few dayaage a vessel arrived in the Mersey from the river Platte with a consign- ment of meat which had been pre- served by this new, system. The treat- ment offireservation is accomplished by sterilized air. At the port of ship- ment some bullocks and sheep were placed in a special chamber, the air of which was subsequently freed from all impurities by means of a special proc- ess, and the temperature reduced to 20 degrees below freezing point. The chamber was then sealed. and when opened at Liverpool' after a voyage of 34 days the carcasses were found to be in perfect condition. A piece of meat was cut from one animal and cooked andwhentasted was found to be as fresh and as savory as if it had only " been killed a few hours. There was a complete absence of the peculiar taste which 1s such a prominent characteris- tic of the prevalent process of freezing meat. It is generally regarded in Eng- land that this process will revolution- ise the freezing and preserving trade. Making Watch Crystals. In the production of common watch glasses the glass is blown Into a sphere about a meter in diameter, sufficient Material being taken to give the de- sired thickness, as the cane may be. Disks are then cut out from this sphere with the aid of a pair of compasses having a diamond at the extremity of one leg. There is a knack in detaching the disk after it has been cut. A good workman will, it is said, cut 6,000 glasses in a day. Our Conquering March. Two thousand tons of American steel rails are being sent to Italy for use on the railways. ELECTRICAL NOTES.

Sound is transmitted very distinctly under wa ter, and advantage is *ken of this fact in the suggested appl:auc.•e. it consists of a seasitive microphone, which is submerged in the water, and a tele- phone and battery connected with it.— New York Suu. Electric typewriters are expected to make their appearance on the market this winter. A number of thein have been patented, and there will be some rivalry. They, will cost about S.:00. The electric typewriter is a power ma- chine, all the work of the moving parts being done by an electric motor. while the operator simply indicates the char- acters. It looks like an ordinary type- writer, and the keyboard is the same. The printiug is accomplished by mere contact of the finger. No pressure be- ing required. there is no fatigue. An- other advantage is that speed is practi- cally unlimited. The work is done as fast as the keys citn be touched.—Chi- cago News. An arc headlight for electric street cars has just been brought out. The ordinary oil lamp headlight or the va- riety using an incandescent lamp in a small parabolic reflector sunk in the dashboard serves well enough to notify waiting passengers that the car is com- ing, but they light the tracks for a few feet only. In these days of high speed trolley cars there is urgent need for a light that will show 'an obstruction on the track in time to stop the car. In th ew headlight an inclosed are lamp atised, consuming about three-quar- ters of au ampere of current at 500 volts, or about sixth -tenths of a horse- power. This amount of current Is in- significant compared with the value of the better light obtained. It is asserted that the new headlights are simple In design and work well in practice.—New York Sun. Biologists are working now on a problem which may affect the building of engines materially. Some experts think that it will actually revolution- ize the work and teach engineers how to build the ideal engine. says the New York Press. This result, it is expected. will be attained by a study of the bat- teries of electric fishes. '1'he particular fish from which the most is hoped is the malapterrus. the fresh water elec- tric fish of northern Africa. His bat- teries are so powerful that a specimen eight inches long produced a stock equaling a maximum of 200 volts. This was measured exactly in ajrecent ex- periment. Scientists declare that If an engine could be built which would pro- duce the same proportional energy it would do work which is at present conceived only in the wildest dreams of engineers. Wooden Toothpick Industry's Mag- nitude. New York city consumes 700,000,000 wooden toothpicks annually. Nearly all of ese come from Japan, Portugal and Ieine. Five thousand cords of W od are used for this industry in the United States each year, and 95 per cent of it comes from Maine. The tim- ber used is mostly white birch, with some maple, and most of it cornea from Franklin coutaty. Outside of the Pine Tree State the industry Is confined to Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and New York. When the lumbermen in their winter camps find a -fine white birch tree. its choice portions are laid aside for tooth- picks. The logs> after being seasoned in the open air, are taken to the fac- tories, stripped of their bark, automat- ically cut into veneers about as thick as toothpicks and as wide as toothpicks are long. Another operation cuts these veneers Into finished toothpicks at the rate of ,x,000 a minute. As the manu- facture is so rapid the factories run only a few weeks to prepare the supply for a year. The very best toothpicks come from Portugal. where they are whittled by hand from orange wood splints by girls, who receive 10 cents a day tor their labor. These toothpicks are re- markably smooth and do not splinter. They are found iu first class restau- rants and in the homes of men who are very particulae about sucb conven- iences. Japan comes next to Portugal in the number of toothpicks exported to the United States. They are cut by hand from reeds and are sold in close com- petition with the American product, notwithstanding a duty of 35 per cent, owing to the very cheap labor in Japan. —New York Herald.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. How Niagara Wear the Rock. . All who have been to 'sagara know that the cataract i t is divide a y Goat is- land, the larger portion of the fall be- ing on the Canadian side of the river. This part is known as the Horseshoe fall and was so named because years ago it was identical with a horseshoe in shape. A few years ago a V shaped break occurred toward the New York side, and since then other changes have taken place, until today the Horseshoe fall is more like its original form, but clearly shows the effects of the wear- ing of the waters. Many people fail to see how the falls wear the rock away, and this is a little mystery until the exact conditions a re realized. The ledge of rock over which the water of both the American and Horseshoe falls flow is of hard lime- stone. It is all of 60 feet thick and naturally very heavy. Underneath this ledge of limestone there ate the shales of the Niagara locality. This soft rock Is many feet thick. Tbe rock of the Ho eshoe fall is unprotected, and as the*ater falls over the precipice and boils in the river below it washes away the soft shale beneath the limestone. so tbat the limestone is left in sheflike form, projecting far out into the gorge. Observant- visitors to the falls have no doubt noticed this condition. In the course of time the shale foun- dation of the limestone ledge Is exca- vated to such a point that the unsup- ported ledge breaks away by its own weight, and the crest line of the Horse- shoe fall recedes so much farther. Then the water attacks the newly ex- posed shale, and in time the process outlined d i s repeated. This bas s been go- ing on for centuries. and it will con- tinue until the falls of Niagara are no more.—Philadelphia Record. The Preacher Was Glad She Swore. • The daughter of a well known clergy- man in Washington bad a severe at- tack of scarlet fever when she was 8 years old which resulted in deafness. Up to that time she had been a regular little chatterbox, doing her infantile best to carry out the proverbial: Being a woman, she'll talk tnreverl Upon her recovery her parents were nearly heartbroken to find that she bad not only lost her hearing. but the pow- er of speech as well. Whether she had really forgotten how to talk or whether it was obstinacy or lack of confidence they could not determine, but despite all efforts of the best tutors the child remained a mute. One day when she was nearly 10 years of age she was playing with a cat, and with as much cruelty as though she were of the sterner sex she used its tail as a handle with which to pick it up. The poor animal, not appre- ciating the economic use of the afore- said tail, inflicted a deep scratch across the chubby little hand. "Damn that cat!" she said, flinging it down. And her father, devout clergyman as be was, clasped his hands and, raising his eyes to heaven, exclaimed: "Thank God, that child has spoken at last!"—Detroit Free Press. Walking Fish. Tbe "walking fish" of Santa Catalina channel, California, is a member of the pediculati tribe and has congeners among the gulf weed of the Mexican track. It further provides a brake coast. Its pectoral fins are shaped so mechaaism which will enable the as to serve for legs, and it can rest on brake and fender to be operated with them so as to snap its prey. It builds a great rapidity. nest of seaweed. Wide Trousers, harrow Streets. La Lucha of Havana in a long edi- torial "giving fits” to American visitors to Cuba generally conies out strong in defense of Cuban trousers and of the narrow streets of tiw Cuban capital. It says: "One frequently hears Americans ridicule what they call 'Cuban trou- sers,' thereby betraying their own crass ignorance. For instance, one of the coolest materials for men to wear is alpaca. To make close fitting trousers of it or of any other thin material, would prove disastrous; consequently in all tropical countries the loose trou- sers are worn, and persons who visit Mexico, Central and South America or India grow rapidly accustomed to them. Furthermore, the shape affect- ed here so much is the height of fash- ion in France. "Again, the statement is frequently made that the streets of Havana should be 'widened and made modern.' Gross ignorance is againcslisplayed. All trop- ical cities age built with narrow streets, as that is the only way in which pedes- trians can be given shade during part of the day. $y stepping out on to the Frado at 2 p. m. from Obispo or Obra- pia the difference in temperature on , wide and narrow streets may be noted." The Pie Foundry. A man who recently visited a pie factory in Chicago thus describes it: "The day we were there a special run was being made on pumpkin pies, and I looked in vain fqr any signs of , pumpkin rinds. One of the foremen I grinned and told me in strict confi• deuce that real pumpkin was never used in pumpkin pies at present ex- cept possibly in a few remote and very primitive ngland villages. The substitute was a1nixture of sweet po- tatoes, apples and cheap flour flavored with a chemical extract. I tasted some of the stuff and was satisfied he was telling me the truth. "Cranberry pie contains only enough cranberries to 'make a showing,' after the manner of the oyster in the church fair stew. The rest is apple, jelly col- ored red and flavored. I have forgot- ten the other substitutes employed, but these will give you aC`general idea of the morality of the business. "The average output of the foundry was one a second, or about 36,000 pies for a working day. The manager told me they were shipped all over the pie belt in specially prepared crates." ' German Law of Libel. 'r The German law of libel is a curiosi• ty. An editor recently said in his pa- per that a certain gentleman "was an unmannerly boor," in consequence of which a libel action was brought against the paper. The evidence given !. seemed to show that the only fault' with the expression was that It was not strong enough. The case was taken from court to court in the usual way i until it reached the highest tribunal. ! The final decision was that the editor would have been perfectly justified it he had said that the plaintiff "had act- ed like an unmannerly boor," but since he bad said that the plaintiff actually "was an unmannerly boor" he had committed libel. In Germany it is li- belous to call a man a pig or an ass, but if you combine the two. and call a man a pig ass then there is no libel, be-'' cause such an animal does not exist. The favorite combination among Ger- mans is, we believe, pig dog—schweine. hnnd.—Cbambe-s' Journal. A Tis,t.er's Dam. There i$ no profanity in saying that nay certain thing "is not w rth a tink- er's dam. although it is considered by many. The exlti'es n originated many years ago, when inla riug, or mending, leaky vessels was much crud- er than it is' now.. - In former times the use of rosin to check the flow of solditr when placed on tin was ttoi generally understood, at least by the roving tankers. When one of these gentlemen of the road found a job, such its menaina a :wash boiler or, other tin household utensil, he would get from the housewife or domestic a piece of soft dough. With this he would build a dam around the place where he intended to ptit his solder. Inside of the circle thus formed he poured the melted lead. When the metal had cooled. he would itruslt away the clam of dough that had con- fined it to the desired limits. 'the beat had hardened the heavy paste and baked it thoroughly, so that it was ab- solutely of no use for anything else. It became one of the most useless things in the world, and there was not enough of it even to be worth while cltarying to the pigs. Hence the expression, which was originally intended to iconvey a certain idea, appears to have been retained. while the origin is not generally known. Black Dist onds.

Corsica. In the main Corsica, where it has no French officials to leaven its politics, l still Corsican rather than French, and in the mountains the old spirit of inde- pendence is far from dead. For these and other obvious reasons France is bound to keep active garrisons in the island, though she would do Better by much with the more acceptable chains, of a maternal administration. alorc- railways, drained marshes, increased education and a daily steamboat sere -- ice would bind the island to the conti-- nent in self interest, and gratitude.

As can be readily appreciated, they are vitally .ncee:sary to the carrying on of the department, and therefore neither trouble nor expense is spared. in keep- ing thole constantly up to date. It would he e,np::n,ed that their extreme value awl !„vl,nrtance would he patent to evor0 one. ontt• yc ars ago, however, one of the most vales le atlases was found with two of the maps cut out. The maps had not been abstracted. They bad simply been detached from the bind- ing. Investigation proved the mutila- tion to be the work of a certain clerk, who on being hauled up by his superior explained why he had one it as fol- lows: "Those books are terribly heavy and hard to handle, and so I cut the maps but in order to get at them easier. The atlases_ were very old, and I didn't sup- pose they were of any value or that any one would care." , To the state department an atlas is like a bottle of wine to a judge of fine drinks—Its value increases in direct ratio with its. age. It was felt in the department that that particular clerk had mistaken his calling in life, and to him was accordingly given an opportu- nity to pursue another one.—New York Tribune. Cure For Insomnia. I suppose all of us are suffering from the invasion of electricity. My old friend Bounce, who was a victim of in- somnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps . now better than any other man on earth. Ile lost his way in the Adiron- dacks and staid overnight in the cabin of a forester. Ilis sleep.was -the deep sleep of a jiist man made perfect, and in the morning he found that he had not moved half an inch all night. "It's the insulation." the forester in- sisted. "You city folks are killin your- selves with contact. If you'll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back." This matter of "contact" was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in intact with the floors, the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth, so that whatever personal magnetism a man has in him goes away in the nighttime, leaving hrm like a log on his mattress. The forester had obtained four glass insu- lators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed them on the posts of his guest bed, so that the electricity could not run away. Bounce the very day he got home insulated his bed, and from that moment to the present his insom- nia has been banished. — New York Press. Cautious. - Many years ago, when printed music was dearer titan it is now, a plain, quiet man, evidently from the country, went into a London jnusic shop and asked to see a certain book of tunes. The clerk laid before him an oblong volume with two' tunes on a page, a book familiar to old time choir singers. The old pian drew out of his coattail pocket an aucient yellow fife and, opt p- ing the book at the first page, began to play softly, turning the leaf with care- ful fingers as each page was finished. The clerks, very much amused at first, grew weary,of the droning noise after a time, and one of them, waiting . till a tune was ended, ventured to say poli4ely: "Pio you think you will take the book, sir? Does it seem to suit you?" The fife was lowered, and the player, looking over it at the youth in mild sur- prise, sal 'gently: "I cannot tell. I have played only half the tunes," and placidly turned another leaf. i Robson's Choice. How many of us who use or bear the familiar expression, "It was. Hobso 's choice,"bre acquainted with the re sort of selects n o that Tobias Hobr n offered his guests? This is the genuine version of the tale: The said Tobias Hobson was a Cambridge innkeeper, with 40 horses in his stables, some bet- ter, of course, than others. When a traveler came to request a mount, he was obliged to take the steed that stood nearest the door, although there were so many others advertised as for hire. If the traveler objected to that mount, all he could do was to wait un- til some other traveler had come for one and so removed this and left its next door neighbor nearest the stable door. The Grape Cure. T German grape cure continues as p lar as ever abroad. As has often b n proved, grapes are most nutri- tious and atze of especial benefit to those who suffer from anaemia or any kind of indigestion. In taking a grape cure It is necessary to follow a course of diet, which, hots'evet', is not very strict. The patient begins by eating -a daily quantum of grapes, about 1 to 112 pounds, and more than oue person, before the end of the cure, has been known to eat as many as 7 pounds a day.

People who are °nfi�t Interested in a business way in the'drbject of shipping seldom know ivhat is meant. by the de- scriptiou cf a ship as of "2,000 tons register" or why -tons register" is not the same as "displacement" or why any "register" should enter Into the subject at all or, if it does. what "regis- ter." On the other hand, a good many people know that the register of all shipping is Lloyd's Register. and It is vaguely understood that a merchant ship, no matter what ling it carries. is all the better for being rated "Al" ::t Lloyd's. There is a further question which most people are still more will- ing to leave in the vague, and that Is. How does Lloyd come to know so much about two-thirds of all the merchant ships afloat that his guarantee of their seaworthiness is accepted everywhere without question? These questions are answered by the New York Tribune. Lloyd's Register of Merchant Ships is an institution which grew up in the middle of the last century in a London coffee house where merchants congre- gated to hear and to give news of their several maritime ventures. In course ` of time it came to be accepted as safe to intrust one's cargo to any ship that was guaranteed on the register kept at Lloyd's. But the degree of certainty in the knowledge, and with it the value of Lloyd's certificate, bas increased enor- mously since hulls began to be built of steel and the strength of materials to be accurately measured by means of scientifically made apparatus. • Lloyd's maintains not only expert agents in all the great shipbuilding centers, but equally expert agents at the great centers of steel manufacture. Besides its agents in New York and other great ports, who have various kinds of work to do, Lloyd's keeps a special expert agent at Pittsburg who has nothing to do but test the steel turned out there for use in the building of merchant ships. With the testing of armor plates or of any material intend- ed for use in the construe ton of war vessels this particular expert has no concern. The Lloyd's agent at Pittsburg has to be continually at the beck of a large number of mills, mostly at Homestead, a suburb of Pittsburg, on the opposite bank of the Monongahela river. When any mill has a sufficient number of tons of shipbuilding steel ready the agent is notified to come and make the tests, without which the steel will not be accepted by the shipbuilders. These tests are purely mechanical. not chem- ica11. A piece is nipped off any beam, plate or what not at any point and of whatever size the examiner may choose to indicate and submitted to the double test for both tensile and bending strains. In common language, the steel is tested to see how much weight it will near *ithout pulling out like hot candy and again with a view to the pressure necessary to make it bulge like an over- packed bandbox. These tests are ap- plied by means of accurately graded machines n hich the uninitiated might easily mistake for weighing machines and whiZb are supplied and kept in or- der by the mills, though always sub- ject to the inspection and approval of the Lloyd's man. Every separate piece tested by these means and found satis- factory Is Marked by the examiner and the mark entered by him in the invoice which is to be forwarded to the Lloyd's agent at the port from which the ma- terial will be shipped. The Lloyd's agent at Pittsburg is the only one at present engaged in this particular work In the United States, though there are several such scattered about among the great steel manufacturing centers of Gfeat Britain and continental Eu- rope. For Freezing Meat. A new process for the refrigeration of meat has recently been patented by -a German firm which is vastly superior ,,,to the princlpls of freezing the meat as is at present generally adopted. \A few days ago a vessel -arrived in the Mersey from the river Plage with a consign- ment of meat whicli bad been pre- served by this new- system. The treat- trsent of preservation is accomplished by sterilid air. At the port of ship- ment some bullocks and' sheep were placed in a special chamber, the air of which was subsequently freed from all impurities by means of a special proc- ess, and the temperature reduced to 20 degrees below freezing point. The chamber was then sealed. and 'when opened at Liverpool after a voyage of 34 days the carcasses were found to be in perfect condition. A piece of meat was cut froth one animal and cooked and when tasted was found to be as fresh and as savory as If it had only " been killed a fe hours. There was a complete absene of the peculiar -taste which is such a -p ominent characteris- tic of .We prevalent process of freezing meat. It Is generally regarded in Eng- land that this process will revolution- ise the freezing and preserving trade. Making Watch Crystals. In the production of common watch glasses the glass is blown int" a sphere about a meter in dlamettri,,@uf$eient material being taken to give the de- sired thickness, as the case Mai! be. Disks"are then cut out from this sphere with the aid of a pair of compasses having a diamond at the extremity of one leg. There Is a knack In detaching the disk after it has been cut. A good workman will, it is aald, cut 6,000 glasses in a day. Oar Conquering March. Taro thousand tons of American steel rails are being sent to Italy tun' use on the railways.

Electric typewriters are expected to make their appearance on the market this winter. A number of them have been patented, and there will be some rivalry. They will cost about, $200. The electric typewriter is a power ma- chine, all the work of the moving parts being done by an electric motor, while the operator simply indicates the char- acters. It looks like an ordinary type- writer, and the keyboard is the same. The printing is accomplished by mere contact of the finger. No pressure be- ing required. there is no fatigue. An- other advantage is that speed is practi- cally unlimited. The work is done as fast as the keys can be touched.—Chi- cago News. An arc headlight for electric street cars has just been bringiit out. The ordinary oil lamp headlight or theJva- iety using an incandescent lamp 4u a small parabolic reflector sunk in the dashboard serves well enough to notify waiting passengers that the car is com- ing, but they light the tracks for a few feet only. In these days of high speed trolley cars there is urgent need for a light that will show 'an obstruction on the track in time to stop the car. In the new headlight an inclosed arc lamp Is used, consuming about three-quar- ters of au ampere of current at 500 volts, or about sixth -tenths of a horse- power. This amount of current is in- significant compared with tale value of the better light obtained. It is asserted that the new headlights are simplein design and work well in practice.—New \York Sun. Biologists are working now on a problem which may affect the building of engines materially.

The particular fish from which the most Is hoped is the malapterrus. the fresh water elec- tric fish of northern Africa. His bat- teries are so powerful that -a specimen eight inches long produced a shock equaling a maximum of 200 volts. This was measured exactly in a recent ex- periment. Scientists declare that if an engine coujd be built which would pro- duce the same proportional energy it would do work which is at present conceived only in the wildest dreams of engineers. c e s f n n d ASTI AZETTE. HASTINGS, MINN., SAT DAY. DECEMBER, 8, 1900, Wooden Toothpick Industry's Mag- nitude. New York city consumes 700,000,000 wooden toothpicks annually. Nearly all of these come from Japan, Portugal and Maine. s Five thousand cords of wood are used for this industry in the United States each year, and 95 per cent of it comes from Maine. The tim- ber used is mostly white birch, with some maple, and most of It comes from Franklin county. Outside of the Pine Tree State the industry is confined to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York. When the lumbermen in their winter camps find a fine white birch tree, its choice portions are laid aside for tooth- picks. The logs, after being seasoned in the open air, are taken to the fac- tories, stripped of their bark, automat- ically cut into veneers about as thick as toothpicks and as wide as toothpicks are long. Another operation cuts these veneers into finished toothpicks at thn rate of 1,000 a minute. As the mann- facture Is so rapid the factories run only a few weeks to prepare the supply for a year. The very best toothpicks come from Portugal, where they are, whittled by band from orange wood splints by girls, who receive 10 cents a day for their labor. These toothpicks are re- markably smeotb and do not splinter. They are found in first class restau- rants and in the homes of. men who are very particular about such conven- iences. Japan conies next to Portugal in the number of toothpicks exported to the United States. They are cut by hand from reeds and are said in close com- petition with the American product, notwitbstanng a duty of 35 per cent, owing tot the very cheap labor in Japan. —New York Herald.

All who have been to Niagara know that the cataract is divided by Goat is- land, the larger portion of the fall be- ing on the Canadian side of the river. This part is known as the Horseshoe fall and was so named because years ago it was identical with a horseshoe in shape. A few years ago a V shaped break occurred toward the New York side, and since then other changes have taken place, until today the Horseshoe fall is more like its original form, but clearly shows the effects of the wear- ing of the waters. Many people fail to see how the falls wear the rock away, and this is a little mystery until the exact conditions are realized. The ledge of rock over which the water of both the American and Horseshoe falls flow is of hard lime- stone. It is all of 60 feet thick and naturally very heavy. Underneath this ledge of limestone there are the shales of the Niagara locality. This soft rock is many feet thick. The rock of the Horseshoe fall is unprotected, and as the water falls over the precipice and boli '1n the river below it washes away the soft shale beneath the limestone. so that the limestone is left in sheflike form, projecting far out into the gorge. Observant -visitors to the falls hale no doupt noticed this condition. In the course of time the shale foun- dation of the limestone ledge is exca- vated to such a point that the unsup- ported ledge breaks away by its own weight, and the crest line of the Horse- shoe fall recedes so mach farther. Then the water attacks the newly ex- posed shale, and in time the process outlined is repeated. This has been go- ing on for centuries, and it will con- tinue until the falls of Niagara are no more.—Philadelphia Record.

It says: "One frequently hears Americans ridicule what they call 'Cuban trou- sers,' thereby betraying their own crass ignorance. For instance, one of the coolest materials for men to wear is alpaca. To make close fitting trousers of it or of any other thin material, would prove disastrous; consequently in all tropical countries the loose trou- sers are worn, and persons who visit Mexico, Central and South America or India grow rapidly accustomed to them. Furthermore, the shape affect- ed here so much is the height of fash- ion in France. "Again, the statement is frequently made that the streets of Havana should be 'widened and made modern.'

The Pie Foundry. A Timer's Dam. I There is no profanity in saying that any certain thing "is not worth a link- et's dam," although it Is so considered by many. The exl*•ession originated many yeazs ago, when tinkering, or. mending, leaky vessels was much crud- er than it is now.. In former times the use of rosin to check the Clow of solder when placed on tin was not generally understood, at least by the roving tinkers. When one of these gentlemen of the road found a job, such as mending a leash boiler or other tin household utensil, he would get from the housewife or domestic a piece of soft dough. With this he would build a dam around the place where he intended to put his solder. Inside of the circle thus formed he poured the melted lead. When the metal had ed'oled. he would brush away the dam of dough that had con- fined it to the desired limits.

It is not un- known in Chicago, and it has so many pfine points about it, all of them ap- ealing to the man who loves to make a few dollars on the side, that the rogues who work it are never out of customers. The simplest method is for the swindler to tell his intended vic- tim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth $100. He claims td'lhave pawned it for only $25, and rather than lose the difference between the real value and the amount for which he pawned it he will give the customer a rare bargain. There is $25 due the pawnbroker, be- sides $5 interest, leaving an equity of $70, He will sell that equity for just half, or $35. After the victim has paid over the $35 and has redeemed the pledge hesfinds that the real value of the article is $50 to $00 and that he is out $5 to $15. The pawnbroker gets all he loaned, and the original owner makes all the victim overpaid.—Chica- go Tribune. Baby's Need. Mamma -We ?Bust get a nurse for the baby.

In the state d. t went at Washing- tun is the most ' .. prehensive and complete set of atl:. s and maps to be found anywhere In this country. As can be readily appreciated, they are vitally necessary to the carrying on of the department, and therefore neither trouble nor expense is spared in keep- lug eeplug them constantly up to date. It would Ire supposed that their extreme value and importance would be patent to evens- vne. • Some years ago, however, one of the Most valuat le atlases was fouud with two of the maps cut out. The maps had not been abstracted. They bad s;ntply been detached from the bind- , ing. Investigation proved the mutila- tion to be the work of a -certain clerk, who on being hauled up by his superior 1 explained why he bad alone it as fol- lows: "Those books.• are terribly heavy and hard to handle, and so I cut the maps out in order to get at them easier. The atlases were very old, and I didn't sup- pose they were of any value or that any one would care." To the state department an atlas is like a bottle of wine to a judge of fine drinks—its value increases in direct ratio with its age It was felt in the department that that particular clerk had mistaken his calling In life, and to him was accordingly given an opportu- nity to pursue anotber one.—New York Tribune. Cnr4 For Insomnia. I suppose all of us are auffering from the invasion of electricity. My old friend Bounce, who was a victim of in sownia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps now better than any other man on earth. lie lost his way in the Adiron- dacks a d staid overnight in the cabin of a ft 'ester. His sleep was the deep sleep f a just man made perfect, and in the morning he found that be had not movi+dllialf an inch all night_ "It's the insulation," the forester in- sisted. "You city folks are killin your- selves with contact. If you'll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back." This matter of "contact" was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in contact with the floors, the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth, so that whatever personal magnetism a man has in him goes away in the nighttime, leaving him like a log on his mattress. The forester bad obtained four glass insu- lators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed them on the posts of his guest bed, so tlaaLthe.electricity could not run away. Bounce the very day he got home insulated his bed, and from that moment to the present his insom- nia has been banished. — New York Press. Cautions. Many years ago, when printed music was dearer than it is now, a plain, quiet man, evidently from the country, went into a London music shop and asked to see a certain book of tunes. The clerk laid before him an oblong volume with two tunes on a page, a book familiar tb old time choir singers. The old man drew out of his coattail pocket an ancient yellow fife and, open- ing the book at the first page, began to play softly, turning the leaf with care- ful fingers as each page was finished. The clerks, very much amused at first, grew weary of the droning noise after a time, and one of them, waiting till a tune was ended, ventured to say politely: "Do you think you will take the book, sir? Does it seem to suit you?" The fife was lowered, and the player, looking over it at the youth in mild sur- prise, sai'c'gently: "I cannot tell. 1 have played only half the tunes," and placidly turned another leaf. Hobson's Choice. How many of us who use or hear the familiar expression, "It was., Hobson's choice," are acquainted with the real sort of selection that Tobias Hobson offered his guests? This is the genuine version of the tale: The said Tobias Hobson was a Cambridge innkeeper. with 40 horses in his stables, some bet- ter, of course, than others. Wink a traveler came to request a mount, he was obliged to take the steed that stood nearest the door, although there were so. many others advertised as for hire. If tbe traveler objected to that mount, all he could do was to wait un- til some other traveler had come for one and so removed this and left its next door neighbor nearest the stable door. The Grape Care. The German grape cure continues as popular as ever abroad. As bas often been proved, grapes are most nutrl Hous and are of especial benefit to those who suffer from anemia or any kind of indigestion. In taking agrape cure it is necessary to follow a course of diet, which, however, is not ,very strict. The patient begins by eating 4 daily guatftunii of grapes, about 1 to 1% pounds, and more than one :person, before the end of the cure. bas bei known to eat as many as 7 pounder, day.

It is an able document, devoted to the complex questions incident to the development of our great country, but entirely too long for publication or an intelligent summary. The supreme court of the United States decides that the Anderson law taxing unused railroad land is un- constitutional, as the companies already pay a tax of three per cent on gross earnings. John \1'anamaker, the well known merchant of Philadelphia and New York, has assumed the publication of Everybody's Magazine, which will be considerably improved under the new management. There is one man in Minnesota that could 'fill the place of C. K. Davis in the United States senate. His name•is Moses E. Clapp, of St. Paul. The supreme court holds that owners of lands sold at the recent forfeited sale are entitled to sixty days notice of redemption under the general law. The date of the farmers' institute in Hastings is Feb. 14th and 15th. Those interested should make a note and govern themselves accordingly.

Smith, 1500 Fifth -Avenue south, and when taken i11 was removed to the hospital: Fot-a time she had an ex- perience which would have been fatal ,to most persons. She frequently had a temperature of one hulydred aird seven, and for a longe time lived with her temperature almost as high. It was hoped that she would recover after having undergone this experi- ence, but she succumbed yesterday. The fact that she lived so long under these conditions has surprised and puzzled the doctors. -Minneapolis Tribune, 5th.

City Attorney Pratt has filed papers in the suit of the city of Anoka vs. the board of county commissioners of Anoka County for $14,065.43, alleged to be due for costs and penalties col- lected on taxes in the city and for interest on the same and for interest received by the county from banks. In this latter class of claims $1,000 is charged. The claims cover the period of time following the adoption of the new charter in 1889. The suit is brought under the recent decisions of courts in cities . situated similarly to Anoka,,and on the face of it the claim seems just and legal. Why penalties collected on property in the city should be claimed and retained by the county does not appear to the mind of the layman, and the residents of the city certainly hope that the suit will result favorably to Anoka. -.Anoka Herald.

Sale, Located on the ground floor of the YANZ THEATRE, from SATURDAY, Dec. 8th, until TUESDAY, Jan. est. We have renewed our contracts with the Jobbers and Manufacturer's Association to dispose of their enormous surplus stock of men's, boy's, and children's clothing and gent's furnishing goods. The fail- ures in the crops in parts of several states compelled the merchants in the affected districts to cancel their orders placed for this fall and winter trade. Consequently the manufacturers having these goods on their hands, and not wishing to carry them over until next year, determined rather to lose a little and have the use of the money. Their loss is your gain. They have sent out stores in different states to dispose of these large stocks, and the people of Hast- ings and vicinity are fortunate to have one of these money saving stores in their midst.

Rolph, a barber who h been employed in a Wabasha Stre shop, but who now works in Minn apolis. Mr. Rolph's method o solution is at once interesting an peculiar. Jan. 155th, 1898, he ma ried Mrs. Bertha Schroth, it widow then thirty-two years old. He di not get along well with his wife, how ever. Mrs. Rolpb, that was Schroth frequently waxed wroth over her hus band's actions, and they quarrele constantly. Little AIadaline Schroth, Rolph's stepdaughter, was a wit- ness of the . disputes, and strange- ly enough she took her stepfath- er's side in his many quarrels. Finally, in January, matters reached a crisis. Rolph, it is alleged, struck his wife and accused her of unfaith- fulness. She began suit for divorce in Ramsey County. He made no op- position, and Oct. 9th Judge Otis handed down a decision which gave Mrs. Rolph her freedom. During all this time little Madaline Schroth had pitied her dear stepfather very much. With her pity soon blossomed into that warmer feeling with which it is popularly supposed to he akin; and when Rolph asked her to marry him she did not say no. The license was obtained and the ceremony perform- ed. Now Rolph's former wife has become his mother in law. His step- daughter is his wife; and as he is married to her he may justly claim to be his own son in law. The Schroths formerly resided at Hast- ings, and are well known in that city. -St. Paul News, 8d. n d as et e - f d r- d d' The recent thaw proved an advan- tage to farmers who had not finished their fall ploughing before freezing weather began. Ploughs were being operated on the Oak Glen farm of the Isaac Staples estate yesterday, to prepare the ground for sowing spring rye. The surface was thawed enough for ploughing notwithstanding the fact that the ground beneath was frozen. It is a saying among old farmers that snow is a good fer- tilizer if it can be turned under by the ploughshare, and this will be a chance to test it. -Stillwater Gazette. World', Champion.

Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced Interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as sate as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent. and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 810,000 on city property. because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mdgt- gage for 8200 as one for $.50.000. Therefore, tc a time at least, it is possible to obtain alt per cent on small loans from *200 to P5,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (leas than 810,000) and I have many applications for loans of from *300 to 85,000 on prime security. Interest is payable sena-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at ars per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I thin; you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a_favor.

ErBerJAR) OEM A light touch from the aid-de-camp, a spring, and she is itthe saddle. Away she goes. "Who loves me follows me." They invariably follow her. One should see her as she passed through the town, flew over the roads, and gained the country. Nothing seemed to stop her, neither wood nor field nor flood. .Then came the sudden wave of her hand, a gay "Goodby!" to the generai, an "Au rev,eir!" to the young officers, and she was out of sight, leaving never a trace behind. "Thunder and lightning!" grumbled • the general. "How docs she do it? We have once again been outwitted." The next morning found her again at the commandant's, saucy as ever. She gave the sentinels a merry little military salute with her dainty riding whip, delivered up her horse to be tak- en care of and moved otraight toward the dining hall, where covers were set for the general's breakfast. They breakfasted together quietly, but to- ward the end the general seemed to get somewhat restless. He could not re- strain three or four formidable "hems," and be sent the attendants flying about in all directions. "We are not here for amusement," she remarked. "Drink your coffee." He drank it, mentally feeling any- thing but amused. Certainly he had met women of many kinds, but never anything like her. Was he afraid of the little creature, he wondered? He recalled their meeting just a month before in Paris. He remembers still how the moment the train was starting she had climbed in with the rapidity of a little squirrel and taken a seat be- side him in the compartment, settling herself so cozily and coquettishly and arranging her packages with a pretty order. Then little by little the eyes closed, the head leaned heavily for- ward and was Nen lying in sleep against her neighbor's shoulder. "Thunder and lightning!" One does not disturb the sleep of a little child, but when she opened those big aston- ished eyes and looked about it was dif- ferent. He might surely be forgiven for stooping to get a- kiss. Unfortu- nately it was the greasy cushion of the seat which received it, while ma - .demoiselle moved into a corner for the rest of the journey. Not very vexed, however, for he saw a slight smile hov- • ering about her lips. It happened that both were going to the same place. Two days after the garrison was up- side down, and the funniest part of the • affair was that while she seemed to know everybody nobody knew her. A handkerchief which she unwittingly let drop had a baron's wreath embroider- ed in the corner, whence she came to he called the "Little Baroness." If only that animal, his nephew, who was so shrewd and was keen on the scent as a bloodhound, would turn up, the general felt things might go straight. But no! Guy was sulking. It • was three months now since they had that quarrel. The imbecile, not to wish to marry the young girl who was being specially trained for him at the Con- vent of the Assumption and to take it into his head to marry a widow! A widow! He never would consent to Guy uniting himself to a woman old enough to be his mother. Never! So the fine captain had taken his de- parture and the pleasure of the gener- al's sister with him. For the two were all that remained of the old family, and nothing ought to have separated them. Yet a mere caprice had done it. The uncle of course made up his mind to disinherit the nephew. His money would go to some charity unless - And the. image of the little baroness came before him flying over the hedges and the ditches, with her sharp little speeches and clear ringing laugh. Yes. Why not? He would marry her! Guy of course would retort, "You should be her father." Well, every one to his taste. This resolution taken as the result of the reflections which had prevented him from swallowing bis coffee, bis an- ger against Guy became stronger and stronger. But what a dance the little baroness led him! Though each day seemed to add to her charm, it also seemed to add to her capriciousness. Not a word could he get with her. The moment he opened his mouth to say anything to advance his suit there was a pirouette, and she was off like a flash.- One morning she said: "Our last promenade, general," "Why?" "You will soon know. Would you mind having this last ride without contpany?" She went at her everyday madcap pace, all the time leading the way When she came to the wood. the gen erat thought for a moment one was go- ing to give her usual laughing fare- well and disappear forever from his sight. Now or never he must make his proposal. Let Guy think of it what he n:tight In two bounds he was by her side. She coolly demanded: "What, you are not out of breath?" Whether he was or not had little to do with the matter. He murmured through his mustache in a voice which slightly trembled: Soup. In advice about soupmaking you will frequently be reminded that the scum which rises to the surface when pre paring the stock should be removed. There is no reason in thus removing what is in reality meat juice coagulat ed by the heat.

Re serve the breast, however, and when the water is boiling place it on the top of the other pieces, where it will steam without being under water. Cover the kettle closely and let it simmer for at least four hours. The breast will then be in a good condition to use in salads or in any dish requiring chicken meat, while the stock is ready for use. Religious Mendicants In Russia. There are two types of tramps in Russia, and they may be classified as the authorized and the unauthorized, says a foreign correspondent The first are the so called religious mendicants, who are protected by the church and tolerated by the police; the second are the common vababonds. Their nation- al name among themselves is Geri- ouns-mourners or victims of grief. If you ask them why they do not work- ancl the great majority are perfectly able to do so -they reply in the forlorn - est voice mortal ever heard, "Master, I am a Gorioun, a victim of sorrow.", They seem to have accepted the philos- ophy that a certain number of human beings are foreordained to a life of mis- ery and sadness, and they pose as mem- bers of this class. A Legal Huilmae. "There is a story," the doctor said, "of a man who was sued for debt not long ago. The case went against him, and the court gave judgment for $300. His lawyer told him he would have to pay it, as he was an unmarried man. He hustled out and In a few hours came back with a wife and a plea in due form that he needed his salary for the support of his family. He got off tree."

The one feature of fashion in furs which is at all lasting in these days is the fur itself, which re- mains in favor for many years. You are obliged to change the form of it from year to year or count yourself quite out of style, but you can at least derive some satisfaction from the fact that the animal itself hag, not gone out of fashion. Russian sable and silver fox head the list because of their beauty, rarity and consequent high price, but Hudson bay sable, sealskin, mink and baby, iamb are quite as popular. Black and white furs are special fa' vorites. the latter in fox wade into a muff and boa being particularly stylish for young women. The variety in fur garments is greater than ever. and the specially interesting feature, aside from the shape, is in the varied combina- tions of fur. The most unusual of all is a long sealskin eoat with double revers, one of black and one of white baby lamb. White earacal forms a pouched vest and collar on another gar- ment. a very short jacket ending at the waist line. Black baby lamb is perhaps the most popular fur for coats that there is. and this no doubt is due in great measure to the fact that it is less clumsy and more easily fitted to the figure than any other fur. but the price. which is higher than ever. has something to tio with it, for to be expensive is often a desirable attribute .froln is woman's point of view.

Under ordinary circumstances it will score the road to a depth of about two or three inches, but of course this de- pends upon the nature of the road up- on which the scarifier is at work. The scarifier consists of a dozen chis- els mounted in a swinging frame piv- oted at its upper extremity and carry- ing two segments of worm wheels gearing into two worms. The tools are rigidly held in position in the frame by means of wedges, so that there is no possibility of their working loose while at work. They can easily and readily be withdrawn when required for sharpening or replacement One set of chisels Is intended for forward work and the other set for working back- ward. A lever actuates in a slotted sector for the purpose of changing the scarifier from the forward to the back- ward motion and vice versa. When the roller US completed its work, the scarifier may be lifted from the ground to any desired height by means of the hand wheel and worm gear. This arrangement of gear is skit locking in any position. By working with one of these scant- fiers a macadam road may be scored in a very short time, and it performs the work much more thoroughly than the hand pick, while there is altar& consid- erable saving of. material. The picking of a road is very destructive to the, metal, but by means of this scarifier it is simply turned up regularly and often only requires leveling and rolling in again. Then, again, the surface of the road is disturbed to a uniformtdepth throughout the whole section, which desideratum it is impossible to obtain by means of the hand pick. Reminiscence of a Thespian. At Brighton Beach I hit Mose Rosen- stein, who was organizing a one night "Faust" company, for a job. "What part do you wish to take?" he inquired shortly. "I wish to take the place of Mephis- topheles, of course," I answered, draw- ing myself up proudly, for I had on a new suit of clothes and could afford to look him in the face. "And why do you wish to take that particular part?" he inquired. I was amazed at his dullrress; but, concealing my disgust as far as possi- ble, I explained that it was because the devil always gets his dues. He seemed pleased at my repartee, wrote me out a $500 per week contract and paid me my first week's salary of $7.50 in ad- vance. I played the devil in "Faust" until nearly the end of the season, after which I was cast In "The Foundry," a workingman's play. -Indianapolis Sun. Her Criticism. Mary is very stout, quite deaf and the trusted housemaid of a family 4n the East park section. Incidentally she seems to be something of an art critic. When she cleins the family rooms, she is heard to mutter and shake her head in dusting the pictures, and she seems to be especially severe on a few repre- sentatives of the "altogether" that hang in the little den.

A 6 mont hare will fry and be just as tender as one 3 months of age. But to hav&It at its best always let stand overnight, and it will never fail to be tender. Otherwise it is just a little bit tough and what some term "stringy." -Table 'Pelk In Keg or Case HAMIVPS BEER Is Always Fresh, No Matter Where You Buy It • Supplied by Agents Everywhere, or • TIIEO.

WHEN BOOT HOOKS AND BOOTJACKS WERE FAMILIAR ARTICLES. Fine Footwear Was Then an Expen- sive Luxury-. and Men of Fashion Had a Time In Getting Their Tight Fitting Wellingtons on and Off. Over on the other side of Canal jtareet, in the local -Latin quarter, there is a little cobbler's shop that looks like an etching by Duret. The tools, which are stuck in leather loops5around the walls, have an air of serious antiquity like decayed gentlefolk, and over the threshold is an empty wicker bird- cage, canted at just the right angle to make what the artists call "a good composition." The cobbler himself is a smallish, stoop shouldered man, with a perfectly bald head and iron spec- tacles half way down his nose. The other day he told a friend how the an- cient and honorable craft of boot - making had -gone into decline. "I was working for myself two years before the California excitement be- gan in 1849," he said. "Those were grand `days. All gentlemen wow boots then made out of the finest calfskin, with tops about 12 inches high. The Wellington boots were fashionable just before my time, •but I've made a few pairs. mostly for foreign gentle. Melt, and they looked very elegant out- , side of tight pantaloons. The top was generally morocco.. It hugged the calf of the leg close and came to a point in front. finished with a small red or pur- ple tassel. But the boot that every- body verybody wanted was a plain, fine grained calfskin. and it had to fit like a glove or it w-ouldn't do at all. -Do you see those lasts up on the shelf? Well, the men they were made for. are dead now, the whole crowd. 'But i'll bet you there isn't one in the lot that hasn't been patched and al- tered at least 40 times. That shows you how particular they were. Feet will change ' more from year to year than you have any idea of, and we bad to keep track of such changes so as to make the boot set perfectly' snug. In those days a gentleman. especially Ala young gentleman• who went into so- ciety wouldn't have a boot that he could wear without cursing for a first weel4 or so. They wanted them tight, tightens wax, and every young buck had his collection of boot hooks and lootjacks to get 'em on and off.. Those ols were common birthday and a Christmas presents beck in theforties and fifties. and some of them were got up flue. I've seen boot hooks with silver mounts and Mahogany handles $100 a pair. "Th'e strain of pulling on a pair of tight boots wag so great," continued the little cobbler musingly, "that we used to run the strap ends hall' way down the inside of the leg and double sew them with waxed silk twist. A young gentleman was actually killed here in l'0 or thereabout by the breaking of his boot straps. I remeem- bet• the circumstance well. He was going to a ball and was sitting on a stool in his room pulling on a pair of new boots with the hooks they used then. Both straps gave way together, and he fell over backward and hurt -his spine so that he died next day. Yes, sir; that's a faet. The family are still living Here. and I made boots for one of his uncles up to less than ten years ago. No; 1 can't say there was anything especially peculiar about the boots of that time except'that they had much higher heels than are worn now and very light soles, generally finished around the edge with a stitching of yellow thread. A good pair of boots could be resoled four or five times, but it was seldom done. When they began to wear, a gentleman would generally give them to his body servant. "The price of boots then was never less than $16 and more often $20, and the planters up the river thought noth- ing of ordering half a dozen or even a dozen pair at a time. I had one good customer from Lafourche. He was a fine gentlernale with grsind manners. One day he came into the shop to order a pair of boots. and while I was meas- uring him to correct his foot he looked. at me very sharp. 'Will you allow me to see your tongue?' he said presently. 1 was surprised, but i put it out. and he pursed up his lips, like a man whis- tling. 'Hum -m -m!' said he. 'How is yotir appetite?' 'Poorlsh; said I,,for 1. wasn't feeling very well just then. 'Make me 12 pairs of boots this time,' said he and walked out without anoth- er word. 1 felt kind of uncomfortable for awhile -after that; but, Lord bless you, I've outlived hint these 20 years. "Boots went out of style in the sev- enties, but a good many of the old peo- ple still stick to there, and, for that matter, some are Worn 'even to this day. I have four customers now that I make boots for regular. They are all middle aged men. and I used to work for their fathers and uncles. They say that the high leather legs keep thein from catching cold. and they don't wet the feet tight, but prefer them large and roomy. So 1 don't have to go to •the trouble of , correcting their lasts, as 1 did in the old days. "I don't make shoes," added the old elan, with a touch of asperity. "I nev- er made a pair in my life, but it's lucky for me, perhaps, that they've taken to wearing them and make them as poor as they do. That brings in enough cobbling to keep the pot a -boiling." -- New Orleans Times -Democrat. The Le Conte pear, which revolution- ized pear growing in southern Califor- nia, was originally the Chinese sand pear, grown solely for ornamental pur- poses. UNCLE SAM'S SCALES. Most Delicate Pair In the United States Is In Washington. In the windowless basement, room, originally built for a coal vault. of an old mansion near the national capitol In Washington is mounted the most delicate pair of scales In the United States. To these scales is intrusted the work of doing the government's weighing. They are part of the equip- ment of the treasury department's bu- reau of weights and measures. which is attached to the coast survey, though why this should be so nobody has ever adequately explained. So delicttse are these scales, says the New York Sun, that they will weigh accurately a ten -millionth part of a gram. They are so sensitive that the warmth given off by the body of a per- son approaching them near enough to open the glass case or to shift the weights would expand :the balance arms and produce an appreciable error in the results- Therefore they have been so constructed that they may be operated at a distance of 20 feet. It is not necessary to open the case or to go near the machineeeven to shift the weights. Three long brass rods 'extend from the base of the case containing the scales. and at the extremity of each is a wheel. and by turning these wheels the weights may be shifted from one pan to another or any other necessary operations conducted- The readings are made through a small telescope mounted where the operator stands. ,Too late it was discovered that the establishment of the instrument in a corner of the room was a mistake. The fact that one wall is three feet a way and the cpposite one nine feet has marked effect on the scales. On the side where the wall is close the tem- perature is different from the other side, and whenever the instrument is used it has been found necessary to surround it with large sheets of ashes - to paper, Besides this, the attraction of the wall for the metal In the scale beams has to be taken into account. These are only a fent of the things which havens be allowed for in doing a fine job of weighiug. Large correc- tions have to be trade for the temper- ature. humidity and density of the air. With each weighing there must be a eading of the thermometer, barometer hydrometer and corrections to cor- respond to the conditions existing at the time. In Germany there are scales so built that the weighing can be con- ducted in a vacuum, but this govern- ment owns no such apparatus. Incredible as It may seem, the differ- ence of an inch or two from the center of the earth, thousands of miles away, causes an appreciable variation in the weight of the objects. This is illus- trated by placing two equal weights on top of the other in one pan, when the beam shows no variation. But place one of the weights on top of the other in one pan, leaving the other pair side by side in the other pan• and the balance will be disturbed. The weights used in this experiment are scarcely two inches in height, so that the differ- ence ifference In distance from the earth's cen- ter, considered in comparison to the distance itself, is infinitesimal. A still further allowance Is demand- ed for scientific accuracy. Even in a $1,500 Rupbrecht instrument like the one owned by the government bureau it is not pretended that the two arms of the balance are of the same length. Official Verifier Frank A. Wolff says that no scales were ever built in which the arms were of exactly the same length. The only thing to do, therefore, is, to check up the error by weighing alternately on one side and the other and then averaging the results. Effects of High Altitudes. Two Frenchmen, M. Baleen and M. Godard, recently made an ascent in a balloon at Vincennes with a view to reaching the greatest altitude that could possibly be obtained. They did not succeed in lowering the record, however. During their journey they kept a record of their impressions and sensations at various heights. They first began to experience the nauseat- ing effects of the rarefied air at 18,200 feet, when their temples ached and their vision was blurred. At 20,150 feet M. Balsan was rendered so ill that he could neither speak nor reach his bag of oxygen and had to be attended by his companion. Shortly afterward the latter was somewhat paralyzed and could only move with difficulty, but with the application of oxygen they were restored, and they were but little inconvenienced. At 21,450 feet they described the cold as being intense, and their beards were covered with ice. When 22,400 feet was attained. they were rendered so helpless and the pain was so great that they could hardly gather sufficient strength to open the valve of the balloon. When they reach- ed the ground, they were in a very ex- hausted condition. Dr. Berson, iu company with alt. Ar- thur Spencer, ascended some months ago from Loudon to a height of 27,500 feet, while,. Messrs. Coxwell and Glai- sher ascended to the height of 3, feet. at which altitude one of the trav- elers was rendered unconscious, while the other only just succeeded in open- ing the valve by pulling the rope with his teeth.—Philadelphia Ledger. Halcyon Days. The term "halcyon days" is derived from a pretty little fable of the Sicili- ans, who believed that during the sev- en days preceding and following the winter solstice, Dec. 21, the halcyon or kingfisher floated on the water in a nest in which her young were deposited and that during this time of her brood- ing the seas were calm. Our Indian summer corresponds to the halcyon of the Sicilians. $1 per Year in Advance. $2 per Year if not 1n Advance A pure, cream of tartar baking powder The perfect purity and great leavening strength of Dr. Price's Baking Powder assure the finest, most delicious and wholesome food.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling a story of a lawyer in a western town who desired the nomination for county judge. Ou the morning preceding the evening on which the county conven- tion was to meet he applied to the liv- ery stable keeper in his village for a horse and buggy in which to drive to the county town, l0l miles distant. where the convention was to be held. "Give me the best and the fastest horse you have, Sam," said he, "so that I will have time to go around and see the boys before the convention comes in." The liveryman, :however, was sup- porting a rival candidate and gdve the lawyer a Horse that outwardly appear- ed perfect, but which broke down en- tirely before half the journey was com- pleted, so that when the candidate ar- rived the convention had adjourned and his rival had been nominated. On his return to the stable late the following afternoon, knowing that it was useless t6 resent the trick played upon him, he said to the owner: "Look here, Smith, you must be training this horse for the New York market. You expect to sell him to an undertaker for a hearse horse, don't you? Well, it's time wasted. I know from his gait that you have spent days training him to pull a hearse, but he'll prove a dead failure. Why, he's so slow be couldn't get a corpse to the cemetery in time for the resurrection." The Famous Asphalt Lake. Asphalt is being dug out of the fa- mous tar lake of Trinidad, the most notable existing source of thematerial in the world, at the rate of 80,000 tons per annum. There are still 4,500,000 tons in sight, but as this rate the sup- ply could not last long were it net that the lake bitumen referred to is receiv Ing a constant accretion from the bow- els of the earth. This accretion is reckoned as amounting to about 20,000 tons yearly and would suffice to restore the lake to its original condition if it were allowed to remain undisturbed for a few years. This wonderful lake of pitch has an area of 114 acres, and recent\ sound- ings made in the middle of It have shown the depth to be 135 feet in that part. Near the center it is semiliquid and bubbling, but elsewhere it has so hard a surface that a man on horse- back can ride over it without danger of breaking through the crust. Scattered over its surface are a number of small islands which have no prdper roots in the earth, so to speak, but are compos- ed merely of accumulations of soli, though trees of considerable size grow on some of them. 'These islands are not stationary, but are carried slowly from place to place by the movements of the lake. Now and then one of them is entirely engulfed.—New York Post. An Amiable Violinist. Robert Browning and Joachim met one evening at a friendly gathering in London. The violinist bad "obliged" without satisfying certain ladies, who entreated the poet to obtain from him another solo. Browning, feeling the delicacy of his task, discharged it dip- lomatically and spoke, as sometimes he wrote, so as to conceal his thoughts. while the violinist, not understanding, bowed and smiled and did not play. As they left the house Joachim ask- ed, "What'did you mean just now?" "Oh," said the poet, "I wanted you to give us some more music." "Then why did you not come and say. 'Joe, old boy, give us another tune?' " roturued the amiable violinist. Until the middle of the century Great Britain imported two-thirds of the iron she used.

A man who had experience in Alaska was listening to a group of citizens dis- cussing the weather and broke in on the talk thus: "Pshaw, you fellows dot,t know what changeable weather is. You think it's always cold in Alaska, do you? Well, just let me tell you a little personal ex- perience of nine. One day I went Bunting with a party of miners. The weather was quite w-arin when we started, and .1 perspired freely Sun- denly it turned bitterly cold, sed large icicles formed on my whiskers (I had grown a full beard). Crossing a small canyon, I came face to face with a big, ugly looking bear. I had nothing but powder in my gun, and the man with the cartridges was away behind me, so as a desperate resort I rammed the icicles from my beard into the gun and blazed away." "And what happened?" said one of the crowd eagerly. "Why, 1 struck hien squarely in th head and killed him." "Frilled him? Impossible!" chorused the crowd. "But it did, 1. tell you. The tempera tune suddenly turned warm again, mel Ing the icicles, and the bear died from water on the brain." — Detroit Free Press. American Garnets. It is reported by the bureau of Amer- ican republics that an extensive de- posit of rose garnet situated near Cuautlay, in Mexico, is to be worked on a large scale. It promises to bring in the market a price equal to that of the finest onyx, which it surpasses in beau ty. This rosalite, as it is otherwise called, is a white sandstone tilled with beautiful little crystals of garnet, which are too soft to be useful as gems. The clusters of crystals, which are of co- lumnar form, are arranged in a sort of Giant Causeway fashion, the starlike groups of them scattered all through the rock giving a very beautiful effect. It is said that the material takes a high polish, representing "living roses in stone." It.,will be used for making mantelpieces, table tops, wainsciseieg and various articles of ornament.

Value of Telephone Numbers. "Telephone numbers Wive an actual money value," said an officer of the American Bell Telephone company:-. "The assertion has a strange sound, but if you think for a moment of the advantage. a 'business house derives from having its location well known the thing seems only natural. "In the course of time people's minds begin to associate a' firm with its tele- phone number, and if_ when they start to call up an old friend they find him masquerading under a new number it is as much of a shock as If they had called at a house with which they were in the .habit of doing business and found it had moved away. It all comes under the legal head of 'good will,' a very elusive commodity, but one which has its market value. "So much is this fact appreciated by some of our old patrons that they are willing to pay heavy` mileage if they move away from the neighborhood of their exchange in order to retain their old telephone address. Many impor- tant houses have followed the north- ward trend of business in the last few years, and there are several cases of a firm's office address being in the up town district. while its telephone num- ber remains so and so Cortlandt or Broad. The firm's tine to the exchange may be several miles long,"—New York Mail and Express. A Poet With Vigor. The McMillans of London published a book of poems by T. E. Brown, which the English critics lauded because of the "vigor of the poet's descriptive style." Here is a little sample of it re- ferring to the sailing of n fishing smack: So to the jetty gradual she was hauled; Then one the tiller took And chewed and spat upon his hand and bawled, And one the canvas shook • Forth like a moldy bat, and one, with nods And smiles, lay on the bowsprit end and called And cursed the harbor master by his gods. And, rotten from the gunwale to the keel, Rat riddled, bilge bestapk, Slime slobbered, horrible, I saw her reel And drag her oozy flank And sprawl among the deft young waves that laughed And leapt and turned in many a spo ve wheel As she thumped onward wither lumbering draft. We believe this is a poet who could almost do justice to the Chicago stock- yards. The rhythmic swish of the pig sticker's knife and the thrilling splash of the bog in the scalding vat ought to thrill such a bard to the very core of his immortal soul. Give us a call, Brown.—Chicago Times -Herald. The Sneeze Wood Tree. The remarkable sneeze wood tree is a native of Natal and other parts of South Africa. It's funny name was given to it because one cannot saw it without sneezing violently. The dust of its wood has just the same effect as the strongest snuff and is so irritating to the nose that work- men are obliged to sneeze even when they are planting it. If a piece of the wood of this tree is put in the mouth, it is found to have a very bitter taste, and no doubt it is this bitterness which prevents insects of any kind from attacking the timber of the "sne=eze wood" tree. The fact that insects find it so disa- greeable makes its wood very valuable for work that is required to last a long time. The levees on both sides of the Mis- sissippi are of sufficient extent that if they were built in a single straight line they would be about 1,300 miles long or long enougb Jo stretch the greater part of the distance between New Orleans and New York.

There is reason in the roasting of eggs. but very little in the boiling of them—at least, as a rule. How many cooks, for Instance, know that an egg can be cooked so as to turn the yolk "hard" and the white "soft" or vice versa just at the will of the operator? The general plan of boiling an egg at the gallop in a saucepan• timing the op- eration with a sandglass or clock, is about the most unscientific operation carried out in the kitchen. A new au- tomatic egg cooker is based on thor- oughly scientific principles, and that is why we like it, says London Invention. It consists of an upper and lower ves- sel, as illustrated, the upper one having a small hole in the bottom. The eggs are placed in the upper vessel, whicsi must be filled with boiling water. The principle upon which the cooker acts is f FOR BOILING EGGS.. briefly as follows: An egg requires about 160 degrees to 175 degrees F. to cook it. e'he eggs are, say. 60 degrees F. when put in and the water 212 de- grees F., but together the water in contact with the a rs is reduced in temperature and won d fall lower than 160 degrees F. at the bottom of the ves- sel were it not for the small hole which lets it away to cultic down on the eggs. but so slowly that by the time the top layers approach they iave'by conduce. tion and radiation be me cool enough not to overcook the eggs. By the time the water has run through into the lower vessel the eggs will be cooked and if not required immediately will keep hot for a considerable time with- out spoiling. Good Disease Breeders. Probably the good old Tura! practice of stanching a wound with cobwe'.ts is not yet obsolete, though physicians of- ten have pointed out its absurdity and danger. Cobwebs are most successful germ traps and are filled with microbes brought to them by breezes and insects. Yet many well meaning people, says the New York Press, are not satisfied with using the ordinary garden cobweb as a "first aid to the injured." but ire sist that the cobweb trust be taken from a stable! Now, the staltee.cobweb is capable of infecting one with that highly interesting disease lockjaw. as has been proved ht several instance*. At a recent meetineef veterinarians in Paris a case was described in which cobwebs were applied to abrasions on the fore legs of a horse. In a few days the animal developed symptoms of "horsepox,"\ -the form which smallpox assumes when 4 attacks horses and which they can teatch from the "cow- pox" of cattle. Upon investigation it s learned that the cobwebs used in this case had been collected in a stable where theri were cows infected with cowpox. Only clean lint or some simi- lar material, carefully sterilized, should ever be used for dressing wounds. Time honored tradition to the contrary notwithstanding, cobwebs are about as unsuitable a dressing as the ingenuity of man could devise. - In some out of the way district in the south of Ireland spiders are highly esteemed in the treating of croup. The peasants get from an old wall the webs of seven black spiders, two of which must have the owners sitting in the middkedt The insects are killed and are sprIAled with a little powdered alum. The `resulting mixture must then be boiled, and when cool the liquid is poured down the throat of the patient. Black spiders are evidently supposed to be full of medicinal virtue, for they are largely employed in the treatment of ague as well. in Somersetshire if one is afflicted with this unpleasant ail- ment the way to get well is to shut up a large black spider in a box and leave it there till it dies. At the moment of its death the ague should disappear. In Cornwall the treatment is more heroic. The patient must swallow the spider, which is generally taken in thick gruel. In the extreme north of Scotland spi- ders' webs are believed to be a cure for neuralgia and toothache. The webs are collected and made into a small poul- tice, which is applied to the spot where the pain is felt. Mount St. Elias Shaken. Mount St. Elias has been badly sham en by an earthquake. It is said that the mountain was considerably torn up. The shock was so severe that a mass of ice, acres in extent, broke loose from the top of the mountain and went crashing down the sides, carrying ev- erything with it. Too High For inspection.

Some eminent tragedians were once quizzing John 'L. Sullivan, then in his heyday. Said one of them: "Say, John, why don't you try the le- gitimate? Look at Muldoon. He has played the wrestler until he is as well knotfn in conuection with Shakespeare as he is on the neat." John looked thoughtful for a moment and then growled: • "Say, do you think I could do it?" "Why, sure. Play 'The Gladiator.' Just the piece for you." Once again John thought awhile and then said: "Say, that's a good idea. I think I've got a good scheme to work with it too." "What is it, John?" "Why, I'd have a real solid iron arena. I'd come into the arena and holler, 'Bring out your wild ox!' See? Then I'd have 'em bring in a live bull. I'd wrestle round the ring with it until I got a good hold on its horns, and then I'd slowly twist It down and break its neck. Then I'd put my foot on its neck and say, 'Behold the invincible, yours truly, John L. Sullivan, champion of the world!' I'd kill a real live bull for 'em every night. How do .you think that'd hit 'em?" "Great! But great Scott, John! Can you kill a bull like that?" "Huh! Can I? Come out to the slaughter house and see me do It."— fiansas City Independent. The Chinese Cook. Mrs. White determined in the first flush of iher newly wed dignity that she was not going to be "squeezed" by the Chinese cook and the storekeeper, as it was quite plain every one else was. Accordingly she purchased scal, s and weights and announced her inten- tion of personally weighing everything. For some days this method proved very satisfactory, but she was sometimes -a little puzzled en finding that the provi- sions occasionally weighed more than was charged for. One day the mystery was solved. She was carefully weighing a chicken. Inina not only is everything, living and iead, sold by weight, but fowls are always supplied alive. The chicken during the weighing opet•atiga-sudden- ly entered a vigorous objection and be- . gan to flap and struggle with all its might, and during these (tappings and strugglings something weighty fell with a thud to the floor, evidently from somewhere about the chicken. This turned out to be a' large piece of lead which had been cunningly fastened un- der one of the wings. Further investi- gation led to the discovery of a similar piece underneath the other wing. The overweight of the past few days was now accounted for.—Chambers' Jour- nal. -p`! Christening fh%Children. An English parson of ft. -church in Berbice, British Guiana, writes enter- tainingly of his pastoral duties. In the matter of christening the choice of name is left to the taste or fancy of the parents This leads to strange combi- nations. Ile copies from his register "Nannie Bellona," "Trank Locust" and "Whisky Em'htanuel." Of earlier times he tells the following: One black man brought his childeartsd when the minister asked its name he said, "Seriatim ad Valorem." On another occasion the parson ask- ed, "What is the name of the child?" The father said, "Ax, parson" The minister looked inquiringly at the man and said: "But I don't understand you," • "Well, parson," said the man, "my mind gi'e me to go troo de New Testa- ment. I have had four boys. The first was named Matthew, the second Mark, the third Luke and the fourth John. Now, this, the fifth one, is to be Ax [Acts], parson." English Peers Can't Vote. Disfranchisement is one of the pecul- iar disabilities under which a peer of the realm suffers. Lord Salisbury once' attempted to secure a vote for Hert- ford and Middlesex, but the revising barrister at Hatfield refused the claim on the ground that time had given the disability the character of law and that peers by the law of parliament neces- sary for the dignity and freedom of the two houses were not permitted to vote for members of the house of commons. Lord Salisbury took the case to the ap- peal court, but as he could quote "nei- ther precedent nor authority" be was obliged to go back to Hatfield without his vote.—Loudon Chronicle. Beginning Early. "Shall I have to get married when I grow up?" asked little Flossie one day of her mother. "Just as you please, dear," answered her mother, with a smile. "Most women do, however." "Yes; I suppose so," continued the lit- tle girl musingly. "and i think I'd bet- ter start and look out for a husband now. They say that.

Th ef Tax Commisalon. Gov. Lind has appointed the fol- lowing commission of county auditors and treasurers to revise the methods of collecting and accounting of taxes: J. T. Brooks, Renville. Odin Halden, St. Louis. P. J. Gruber. Stearns. C. E. Weld, Murray. J. L. Meyer, Morrison. I). T. Quealy, Dakota. Steve 13utler, Otter Tail. • The organization was perfected yesterday as follows: • President. --J. T. Brooks. Secretary. --D. T. Quealy. Another meeting will be held a the capitol to -day. M. E. Clapp does not as yet s to have the united support of Ramsey County delegation or R. Evans that of Hennepin County, though both will probably come due time. Outside of these locali the former is the general favor If the choice was left to a vote of people in Dakota County Gen. CI would receive Dine -tenths of it. cern the G. al- iu ties ite. the app The Lind organs are still mourning over the twenty thousand votes lost by having the name of T. H. Lucas, social-demoerat, upon the state bal- lots, a preposterous claim with no facts whatever to warraut the as- sertion. He had the same right there as did John Lind, democrat -peoples, andahe one designation is no more misleading than the other. Eleven Minnesota postoffiees will be advanced to the presidential grade Jan. 1st, their gross receipts having reached $250 per quarter. They are Bird Island, Biwabik, Cambridge, Eagle Bend, Elbow Lake, Frazee, Hawley, Herman, Lake Park, Mora, and Rush ford. The will of Senator Davis is a model of conciseness, drawn by him- self fifteen years ago on a single sheet of legal cap. Tke estate is valued at $40,000 in real estate and $25,000 in personal property, and everything is left to Mrs. Davis. The supreme court of the United States sustains the consiatutionality of what is known as the Jacobson Y law, requiring railroads to put in a Y at intersecting points to avoid the re - \a handling, of through freight. The $20,000 bounty claimed by the beet sugar factory at St. Louis Park is being held up by the state auditor, a similar law having been declared unconstitutioual by the supreme court of Michigan. The prizes won by the Minnesota School of Agriculture at the cattle ' exposition in Chicago last week aggre- gated $883. Ninety-five of- the stu- dents attended in uniform. The First National Bank and the Nicollet National Bank of Minneapolis are to be consolidated under the name of tire former. J. K. Fancher has been appointed postmaster at Dodge Centre. Old Tom, the familiar old cat, made his annual return to the village and to, his winter quarters at Mike Connor's saloon on Monday of lasa week. Tom is looking well, and shows that he has received his share of the McKinley full dinner pail. This animal is an exceedingly large specimen of the cat family and carries the ear marks of many a hard engagement. The peculiar part of his career is that during the frigid days of the Winter he remains by the • warm fire at Mike's saloon and grows fat upon the regular and liberal al- lowances from the larder, catching an occasional mouse for exercise. But with the first warm day of spring he is gone and is not again seen until the cold blasts of November. Tom has made these regular departures and arrivals for four years.-21fora Times. Among the multiplicity of candi- dates for the United States senator- ship, made vacant by the death of Senator C. K. Davis, is the Hon. M. E. Clapp, of St. Paul. He announced his candidacy a few days ago in a letter to The Pioneer Press. There is no man in the state whom The Tribune would rather see elected to fill the distinguished position of United States eenator than Mr. Clapp. He is a man of superior mental qualities, who would serve the state with great honor to himself and bene - Otto his constituents, and who would suffer less in comparison with his distinguished predecessor than any other man who could be named.— Appleton Tribune. There is one thing that must be taken into consideration, and that is that M. E. Clapp is a people's candi- date, a man who is universally liked, we believe, by the majority of the voters in ,the state. It is he whom The News picks as its choice for win- ner of the two men before us to -day, and we will miss our guess if he is not the next United States senator to fill Senator Davis' seat.—Chatfielel News. Mrs. Henry Collins took her de- parture Saturday for Hastings, where she will remain until spring, having closed her pleasant home on Lyon Avenue.—Lake City Graphic -Sentinel. Randolph Items. Mr. Brandt, of Cumberland, 'Wit., is visiting with Henry Senn. S. Wert lost a valuable colt last Friday from eating too much straw. The Cascade school was closed the first of the week on account of diphtheria. Mrs. Rosetta Morrill spent Thurs- day and Friday of last week with Mrs. George Foster, of Stanton. The attendance at school has de- creased over one-half since the ap- pearance of diphtheria in this vicinity. W. S. Dibble was in Kenyon Sun- day looking aftar the Great Western coal sheds that were burning down there. Miss Nettie McElrath is suffering from a light attack of diphtheria. The family is quarantined, and it is hoped the disease will spread no farther. Jacob Peter has traded the Maple Leaf restaurant to F. Nasey for farm machinery and stock, and will work the farm formerly cultirated by Mr. Nasey near Hampton. • Died, Tuesday night, of diphtheria, at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Foster, Kenneth Alexander, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Alexander, aged eighteen months. The body was interred in the Ran- dolph cemetery Wednesday afternoon. The heartfelt sympathy of neighlArs and friends is extended to the be- reaved ones in their affliction. The attendance at the Cascade lyceum last Friday evening was very good, and a large per cent of those present enrolled themselves as mem- bers, paying the small fee of five cents. The debate, resolved that Lincoln rather than Washington deserved the title of Father of His Country, was led in the affirmative by E. E. Orr and on the negative by Neva R. ,Fos- ter. The judges decided in favor of the negative. Langdon Items, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bahe, of Cot- tage Grove, spent Sunday in this vicinity.

They will make their future home at LaCrosse, where the groom' is engaged in the livery business. Nathalia Wheeler, the child with the abnormally- large head, who has attracted considerable attention among local physicians, died yester- day morning. Nathalia was born in March, 1894, and at the time of her death her head measured thirty-eight and three-fourths inches in circum- ference. The child was very preco- cious, and at an early toe learned to speak Englisli and Swedish fluently. She attracted so much attention that finally her parents, who are poor people, agreed to allow her to be ex- hibited in a local museum. Some time ago the child became afflicted with the disease known as water on the brain, and the trouble soon reach- ed such an acute stage that the body was paralyzed from the knees down. —Minneapolis Times, 8th.

Murphy, of Rich Valley, gave an oyster supper to their friends last Friday evening, the time passing very rapidly with music and games. At twelve o'clock the delightful oyster stew was served by Miss Nellie G. O'Leary, Mrs. J. E. Thompson, and Mrs. David Murphy. J. V. King was pronounc- ed the most popular young man. Amonglhose present were Mrs. J. E. Thompson, Eva R. Kectly, Minnie C. Reuter, Ida W. O'Leary, Mary E. and Anna King, from this city, Miss Alice O'Leary, of Lakeville, Gertie King, J. V. King, G. P. King, A. E. Fostlar, T. F. O'Leary, P. E. Casey, T. E. Tabaka, T. J. Thompson, T. A. King, and P. E. Johnson. While en route from Aberdeen to this city early yesterday morning, Mrs. L. Croonquist was taken ill. She was assisted to the drawing room of the sleeper Kilbourn, and a few minutes after a lusty young boy was ushered into the world. A doctor who was on the train attended the mother and the child until St. Paul was reached, when they were remov- ed in the anibulance of the City Hos- pital to the residence of Lewis Bidow, 813 Jackson Street, a brother of Mrs. Croonquist. Both mother and baby are doing well, and it is understood that the little fellow is to be christen- ed Kilbourn Croonquist, in honor of the car on which he was born.—St. Paul Globe, 10th. The Probate Court. The final account of W. C. Calla- han, administrator of his mother, Mrs. Mary Callahan, late of Mendota, was examined and allowed on Monday, with a decree assigning residue of es- tate to heirs. The final account of C. E. Reed, ad- ministrator of his father, T. J. Reed, late of this city, was examined and allowed on Tuesdsve with a decree as- signing residue of estate to heirs. A Dramatic Success. The dramatic entertainment given by St. Luke's Guild on Wednesday evening was a great success, nearly every seat in the Yanz Theatre being reserved in advance. Owing to the fact that Mr. Crosby was obliged to start for Nicarauga at half past nine The Bicyclers was placed on first, the charagters being well taken by Miss Hildegarde A. Palmstrom, Miss Nettboal, Bailey, F. N. Crosby, J. P. Frees, F. C. Gillitt, R. W. Freeman, and Fritz Meyer. A very pleasing rendition was given of this amusing farce. My Lord in Livery is a play of considerable merit, and was pre- sented in a manner worthy of pro- fessionals. Miss Hildegarde A. Palmstroun was a swell young lady, ably supported by her friends, Mrs. F. N. Crosby and Miss Nettie M. Bailey. The trausition from the drawing room to the servants' apart- ments was capital. Lord Thirlmere was well taken by J. P. Frees, the minuet with Miss Palmstrom bring- ing down the house and had to be re- peated. F. C. Gillitt was the old family butler true to life, his version of that difficult character being highly ereditahle. J. P. Rieger, of Minneapolis, supplied Mr. Crosby's place as the footman on short notice, doing retnarkably well under the cir- cumstances. Fritz Meyer was a lovely page. During the intermission a charming venal solo, Happy Day, was given by Mrs. P. H. Linley, with the Serenade as an encore. Much credit is due to a number of ladies behind the scenes, who did so much towards the success of the plays, and especial- ly to Mrs. F. E. Estergreen, the very efficient stage manager. The net receipts were $6.5. Connell Proceeding. Regular meeting, Dec. 10th. Pres- ent Aids. Beerse, DeKay, Emerson, Hiniker, Hubbard, Sieben, and. Stef- fen, Mayor Tuttle in the chair.

Fire broke out in tile store of the Hampton Drug Company at Hampton Station Monday night, at half past two, the building and contents prov- ing a total loss, together with Mies' saloon and ()scar Reinhart's harness shop. Basting's Hotel also caught fire, but was saved, the wind luckily being in the opposite direction. The buildisgs were all frame and burned rapidly, several parties sleeping up stairs having narrow escapes from suffocation. Reinhart Mies cut his foot badly on a broken bottle while jumping from the front window. The buildings belonged to Mies Bros., and the drug store was owned by a man named Wilson, who has another store in Mantorville.

At the same time the cities are • prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of Land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upou. However, few of theae companies will loan in smaller amounts than $10,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the reeortIS Of a mort- gage for IMO as one for 850.000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent en small loans from $200 to $5,000 du prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than $10,000) and I have many applications for loans of from $300 to/F.5,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection.

Another tapped and so beat the rataplan with his pencil on table. The president pushed his spectac to the tip of his nose and mopped damp brow, his stern gray eyes,. with glacial stare, bent fixedly upon door whence would issue the Culp in course of trial and on whom th waited to pronounce sentence. "Is there not still another one?" mantled he presently of the sleepy loo ing tipstaff at his elbow in a harsh, r onant voice, "One," respondedltjle.other; " a gir "Eh, bien!

Only she bad first to seek it, to un clasp the buttons of her corsage an draw it from her bosom, a piece o crackling parchment stamped and dos ed with the ponderous official seal. "A judgment," murmured the press dent, running bis eye over the paper "a judgment against Anne Bede, as signed to begin today a punishment of six months' imprisonment." The girl nodded sorrowfully; the handwriting, loosened by the move- ment, fell from her band, and- a heavy tress of her long black hair all unbound veiled her features. It sought perhaps to shield them from the gaze of the people, for if she was white as a lily awhile ago she was purple with shame at this moment. "It is a week since we received it," stammered she in a broken voice. "The court officer brought it himself and ex- plained what it wished to tell us, and my poor mother said to me: `Thou must go, my child. The laver is the law, and one should not take it as a pleasantry.' I have come, therefore, to -to begin the six months!" The president wiped his glasses, then wiped again, his cold, stern gaze seek- ing the faces of his colleagues, the win- dows, the floor, the great iron stove, through whose graced door fiery eyes seemed to sparkle and threateningly re- gard him. "The law," murmured he, "the law is the law!" And be read anew the summary be- fore him, the black, scrawling scratch- es across the white page, declaring, "Anne Bede condemned to six months' imprisonment for the receiving of stol- en goods." Meanwhile the leaden ventilator had quickened its pace and spun furiously., Outside the wind had risen, and now it shook the windows, whistled through the crevices and seemed to hiss re- morselessly about the ears of the gap- ing crowd: "The law; yeck the law is the law!" The head of the president bent aft iirmatively before this importunate voice. He dropped his eyes and touch- ed the bell for the tipstaff. "Accompany Anne Bede," said he, "to the house of the inspector of prisons." The man bowed, the child turned obe- diently. but her little rose red lips open- ed and shook tremulously, as if words were on them that she could not speak. 'Perhaps, my child," said the presi- dent, noticing her distress, "perhaps you still have something to say to us." "Only that I am Lizette-Lizette Bede, M. le President.

She had never dreamed of this, M. le President, and when they had taken her away with closed eyes, mute and deaf forever, my mother and I told our- selves that we must repair the wrong she bad done because of her fiance, Ga- briel Iiarloney. 'It was for him and without knowing it that she sinned, and we thought" - "What, my child?"

We have, my dear child, sent you the wrong document." "The wrong document, M. le Presi- dent?" faltered Lizette, raising her great, sorrowful eyes to his face with a gaze of heartbreaking reproach, "the wrong document?" She could say no more, and the presi- dent himself was no less moved. ' "The wrong document, my child, yes," said lie firmly, rising from his seat to tenderly pass his hand across til? shining hair.

Early rising has been inculcated as a wholesome practice from time imme- morial, and to those who can contrive to get to bed also In good time is unob- jectionable In every way; but, on the other hand, if the'employment is of such a nature as to prevent the occupa- tion of the bed at a proportionately ear- ly hour -it is absurd to recommend the one without the other. Some persons require six or seven, some eight or nine hours in the 24, but if we all made a practice of getting up as soon as we wake we should find that the sleep would be sounder and more wholesome- and holesome and that it would be seldom extended beyond seven or eight hours. The plan of rising a long time before breakfast and taking a walk on an empty stomach Is undoubtedly a bad one, and though it may be adopted by some people without injury, yet if at- tempted by those of delicate constitu- tion it will do a vast deal of harm. Half an hour or an hour before that meal may well be passed in a short walk, but beyond that time the stom- ach becomes weakened in tone, and - the meal When taken is followed by a dull .and heavy sensation of fatigue and listlessness insteali of the sprightly readiness for the f day's occupation. which it ought to be the ambition of every one to possess. -Health.

One can keep butter sweet a long time, even in a hot room where it Is half melted, by keeping it covered with brine made by putting into boiling wa- ter all the salt it will take up. Theft let It cool and pour over the butter. Meatmay be preserved in the same way. To be sure, it will become rather salt, but when you wish to use it take �It out of the brine the night before and lay it across two spoons or sticks to lift it from the bottom of the dish in which you wish to soak it and then cover it with fresh water. The salt will then settle out of the meat, and It will fresh- en nicely. You throw meat or fish into the bottom of a vessel and cover it with water, and it will freshen very lit- tle, for the salt does not fall out, but only to the lower side. tart of 1t.

"Vibration is the great bugbear of this business," said one of the best in- formed stationary engineers in New Orleans. "It is governed by fixed laws, of course, but they are so subtle and intricate that it is next to impossi- ble to master them. They have a most important bearing, however, on the life of machinery. I have known valuable engines to jar themselves literally to pieces for no apparent cause. Some slight error in adjustment had set up a vibration that was communicated from part to part, like ti contagious disease, until the whole plant was affected. "A steady tremor of that kind will not only wear out the parts, but it causes what we call `structural changes' in the metal itself. Wrought steel will gradual, lose its toughness and elasticity and become as brittle as cast iron. \% hen it is fractured, the in- terior will have a strange, granulated appearance, and the worst of it is that the alteration • may be going on for months without the knowledge of the most careful engineer alive.

They were studying Mendelssohn's "Elijah" and had reach- ed the chorus. "Hear us, natal; hear us, mighty god!" the male voices were booming out sonorously, when Damrosch cried out, as Is his wont: "No, no! Not that way. Not that dreadful howl! Don't say 'B -a -a -l.' Soften a little. Give a more musical sound to the words. Say 'Bawl.' " "Whereupon," he says, "the Orange• iter took up the strain again: "'Hear us Bawl! Hear us Bawl! Hear us, mighty god!'

"What will you please to buy?" ask- ed mademoiselle, with an exquisite smile. "Oh," replied the young dandy, with a languishing look. "what I most \'ts h to buy is unhappily not for sale.".

"'Now, supposing the first sapper in the trench you were driving , were killed,' said the general, 'what would you do with hiln?' - "'Stuff him In a gabion, sir,' said the stolid sapper. "'And what would you do with the second if he were killed?' said the offi- cer in surprise. "'Make a fascine of him, sir.' "The general rode off without an- other word." English Civility Amazes Tourists. The American who comes here for the first time is always amazed at two things -the civility with which the policeman wields his enormous power In the regulation of the traffic and the civility of the servant. The ultra demo- cratic call the latter servility, but they lilte it all the same. One of the things we regret, in common with all English- men who travel, is the gradual extinc- tion of those "good old hostelries of the country towns." They are still to be found and are cherished by those who know. But the times have changed and the old fashioned style of hostelry, where good cheer and a hearty wel- come can be reckoned upon, possibly does not pay. -London Express.

Another tapped and so beat the rataplan with his pencil on table. The president pushed his specta to the tip of his nose and mopped damp brow, his stern gray eyes, wi glacial stare, bent fixedly upon door whence would issue tbe cusp in course of trial and on whom t waited to pronounce sentence. "Is there not still another one?" mended he presently of the sleepy I ing tipstaff at his elbow in a harsh, onant voice. "One," responded the other; " a gi "Eh, bien!

Her black eyes were lowered the floor, but her white brow was cle and unclouded. "What is it that you have done, m child?" questioned the president indi ferently. The girl nervously rearranged th handkerchief that covered her hea caught her breath heavily, then a sac ered, sighing: "My affair is sad, M. President; very very sad." Her voice, soft and dolorous, went t the heart like good music that eve when one hears it no longer seems sti to vibrate in the air and change eve thing by its mysterious influence. The faces of the jurors were no lo ger so morose. The portrait of th king and farther away still of the J dex Curie appeared to make to he from the silent wall benignant sign encouraging her to bravely recount th affair, "so very, very sad." "But see you," said she, "this wru ing. It will tell you better than I can. Only she had first to seek it, to un clasp the buttons of her corsage an draw It from her bosom, a piece o crackling parchment stamped and dos ed with the ponderous official seal. "A judgment," murmured the press dent, running his eye over the paper "a judgment against Anne Bede, as signed to begin today a punishment of six months' imprisonment." The girl nodded sorrowfully; the handwriting, loosened by the move- ment, fell from her hand, and a heavy tress of her long black hair all unbound veiled her features. It sought perhaps to shield them from the gaze of the people, for if she was white as a lily awhile ago she was purple with shame at this moment. "It is a week since we received it," stammered she In a broken voice. "The court officer brought it himself and ex- plained what it wished to tell us, and my poor mother said to me: 'Thou must go, my child. The law is the law, and one should not take it as a pleasantry.' I have come, therefore, to -to begin the six months!" The president wiped his glasses, then wiped again, his cold, stern gaze seek- ing the faces of his colleagues, the win- dows, the floor, the great iron stove, through whose grated door fiery eyes seemed to sparkle and threateningly re- gard him. "The law," murmured he, "the law is the law!" And be read anew the summary be- fore him, the black, scrawling scratch- es across the white page, declaring, "Anne Bede condemned to six months' imprisonment for the receiving of stol- en goods." Meanwhile the leaden ventilator had quickened its pace and spun furiously. Outside the wind had risen, and now it shook the windows, whistled through the crevices and seemed to hiss re- morselessly about the ears of the gap- ing crowd: "The law; yes, the law is the law!" The head of the president bent af- firmatively before this importunate voice. He dropped his eyes and touch- ed the bell for the tipstaff. "Accompany Anne Bede," said he, "to the house of the inspector of prisons." The man bowed, the child turned obe- diently. but her little rose red lips open- ed and shook tremulously, as if words were on them that she could not speak. "Perhaps, my child," said the presi- dent, noticing her distress, "perhaps you still have something to say to us." "Only that I am Lizette-Lizette Bede, M. le President.

Early rising has been inculcated as a wholesome practice from time imme- morial, and to those who can contrive to get to bed also in good time is unob- jectionable in every way; but, on the other hand, if the employment is of such a nature as to prevent the occupa- tion of the bed at a proportionately ear- ly hour it is absurd to recommend the one without the other. Some persons require six or seven, some eight or nine hours in the '24, but if we all made a practice of getting up as soon as we wake we should find that the sleep would be sounder andmore wholesome and that it would be seldom extended beyond seven or eight hours. The plan of rising a long time before breakfast and taking a walk on an empty stomach is undoubtedly a -bad one, andthough it may be adopted by some people without injury, yet if at- tempted by those of delicate constitu- tion it will do a vast deal of harm. Half an hour or an hour before that meal may well be passed in a short walk, but beyond that time the stom- ach becomes weakened in -tone, and the meal when taken is followed by a dull and heavy sensation of fatigue and listlessness instead of the sprightly readiness for the t day's occupation, which it ought to be the ambition of every one to possess. -Health.

"What does it cure?" "Ob, they say it really cures every- thing just splendid." "Thank fortune it's cheap. Give 'em all the hot water they want. Maria."

Just put another gallon of hot water in that oys- ter soup, Maria, and I think you'd bet- ter take out the oyster now. It might get too rich." -London Tit -Bits, To Keep Hatter Sweet. One can keep butter sweet a long time, even in a hot room wbere it Is half melted, by keeping it covered with brine made by putting into boiling wa- ter all the salt it will take up. Theis let it cool and pour over the butter. Meat may be preserved in tbe same way. To be sure, it will become rather salt, but when you wish to use it take it out of the brine the night before and lay it across two spoons or sticks to lift it from the bottom of the dish in which you wish to soak it and then cover it with fresh water. The salt will then settle out of the meat, and it will fresh- en nicely. You throw meat or fish into the bottom of a vessel and cover it with water, and it will freshen very lit- tle, for the salt does not fall out, but only to the lower side. Part or 1t.

But It makes a 1,.•rc�uce how these are arranged iteiee - i I saw iu a fine, new house a butler's pantry whose only shelves fo storing dishes were above the openings Into kitchen and dining room and so high that strength, strong arms and a stepladder would be a necessity. When i furnish a kitchen as my wovkt'ool u someidea dee as to convenience and the s , saving of time and steps modi- fies 1• odi fies th e arrangement of things. All the utensils are kept as near as possible to where they ey will be needed. Thetin covers of saucepans and kettles are on a rack within reach of the range. The cooking forks and spoons have -their nic1*'s just below. The little paring knife I like best is riot in the unite hos amid carvers and mixing spoons, but where I can get it without teawibg the low rocker where I sit lvhen preparing vegetables. '['he bread knife and cutting board, which is apt to be the cover of a grape basket, light and clean, are always convenient to the bread jar. Two or three favorite saucepans are kept hanging abroad in full view near the water faucet, for is not the first step toward cooking al- most eve(�j'thing the preparing:` for some freshly boiled. water? Such furnishing does not enhance the prettiness of the kitchen perhaps, but it does make a wonderful differ- ence with the speed at which a cook can work without fatigue.

'It is governed by fixed laws. of coarse, but they are so subtle and intricate that it is next to impossi- ble to master them. They have a most important bearing, however, on the life of machinery. I have known valuable engines to jar themselves literally to pieces for no apparent cause.

"My child, do be advised," urged one of these well meaning ladies, calling to 9ee-,the radiant bride on the very eve of the wedding. "I am an older wom- an than you and have seen more of the world, and it always makes me sad to hear of a nice girl marrying beneath her station. It is social suicide." "Then from a social standpoint con- sider me dead," smiled the light heart- ed girl, "for I shall certainly marry Tom tomorrow. We reckoned up the situation long ago and found a whole host of advantages, but not a solitary thiet could we discover to place cn the disadvantage side." "Then yon couldn't have searched very far, my dear," said her counselor icily. "Take my own case. Much as 1 love you. I shall be unable to visit you when you are married.

From a prac- tical standpoint it is just as valuable as i describe it to be. A sentiment en- ters into the cnse, however." • "Well, tell us about it." "The handkerchief, then. is the token by which I" ant permitted to enter the house where my sweetheart lives. Without it I should be torn to pieces by a huge bulldog there. The beast is as ferocious as a tiger. During the day he is kept in chains, but after 7 o'clock in the evening his mistress- releases him in the yard. No stranger after that hour can enter the gate. The ter- rible animal was a menace to my suit until the lady bit upon the plan of giv- ing me her handkerchief or use as a pass. Now when the dog rushes to- ward me I have only to toss the dainty token to him. He smells it and walks peacefully back to his kennel. Do you blame me for valuing it so highly?". Mem phisAg,imitar.

Squelched a French Dude. A young woman of smart wit and striking beauty presided at one of til stalls at a Paris charity bazaar. Among the small .:rowel which prei*sed round the fair vender was a young man of much assurance, who gazed upon the girl with freedom and affected to ad- mire the various fancy articles exposed for sale, but bought nothing. "What will you please to buy?" ask- ed mademoiselle, with an exquisite smile. "Oh," replied the young dandy, with a languishing look, "what .1 most wl, h to buy is unhappily not for sale," "Tell me what you wish?" she re, sponded. ' "Oh, no; • not I date to.'declare try wish- es." "Nevertheless let me know what you wish to busy:: persisted the fair sales- woman, "Well, then, since you demand it. l should like a ringlet of your glossy black hair," She. manifested no eilibarraesnient at the bold request, but with a pair of scissors immediately clipped off one of' her beantlfill locks afld handed it to the astonished youth. remarking that the price was only $100. Her audacious admirer was thunder- struck with the demand. but dared not demur, as by this time 0 group bad l- lected and were listening to the.couver- sation. So he took the hair, paid over the money and left the hall. A Tax on -Childless Frenchmen. A bill has been introduced into the e French senate providing for a tax on celibates of both sexes after they reach the age of lief and upon childless cou- ples who have been married for five years, the tax to be maintained until a child is born to then. The aim of the bill is, of course, to provide a remedy for the threatened depopulation of France by increasing tbe birth rate. - Medical Record.

A certain penin- sular general rode down to some sap- pers who were digging trenches and commenced to cross question one on his duties. You must know that a gabion is a basket which can be filled with earth and so made to stop a bul- let, and a fascine is a bundle of fag- ots. " `Now, supposing the first sapper in the trench you were driving were killed,' said the general, 'what would you do with hits?' " `Stuff him in a gabion, sir,' said the stolid sapper. " `And what would you do with the second if he were killed?' said the offi- cer in surprise. "'Make a fascine of him, sir.'

The American who comes here for the first time is always amazed at two things -the civility with which the policeman wields his enormous power in the regulation of the traffic and the civility of the servant. The ultra demo- cratic call the latter servility, but they like it all the same. One of the things we regret, in common with all English- men who travel, is the gradual extinc- tion of those "good old hostelries of the country towns." They are still to be found and are cherished by those who know. But the times have changed and the old fashioned style of hostelry, where good cheer and a hearty wel- come can be reckoned upon, possibly does not pay. -London Express, A Famous Murillo. "'rhe Vision of St. Anthony of Pad- ua" is one of Murillo's greatest paint- ings. It was painted In 1656 and is now In the baptistry of the cathedral of Seville. The figure of St. Anthony was cut out of the picture on the night of Nov. 4, 1874. Telegrams were imme- diately sent to the consuls of all coun- tries, and it was discovered in New York, where it '-had been offered to a Mr. Schaus for $250.

Cataloguing 2.300,000 stars up in the fifteenth magnitude, making the selec- tion from 44.0+)0 photographs, showing 30.000.0)0 stars of all magnitudes, is the work of the International Astro - graphic congress taken up in Paris ou April 1ti 1587, and now nearing com- pletion, according to the Chicago Trib- une. It was a work suggested by Dr. Gill of the Royal observatory at the Cape of Good Hope. Dr. Gill had made the first photograph of a comet, finding fame in his plate of the comet 'of 1882. This was the photograph which first turned astronomers to the practi- cal possibilities of star photography. In this congress in Paris in 1887 were 55 delegates from 15 nations. Dr. Gill PHOTOGRAPHIC TELESCOPE. Lad proposed its assemblage and pur- pose, and the body deliberated for nine days, finally adopting the plans for the great star map, extending from Schon- feld's zone to the south pole. Each of the photographs taken in this stupesidous work has been duplicated in order that dust spots and imperfec- tions in .photographic apparatus should not be misleading. These 44,000 pho- tographs are each studied separately and compared. and the results are to be placed on a globe having a diameter of 24 feet.. In inal,ing these photographs stars • visible to the naked eye were taken on the sensitized plates in half a sec- ond. Stars of the fourteenth magni- tude required 13 minutes to affect the plates. ,By exposing a plate for an hour all stars to the fourteenth magni- tude were reproduced, each in propor- tion to its power and light. From these! 'plates the greatest degree of accuracy• in measuring stars was obtainable. A diameter of one five -hundred -thou- sandth of an inch on 'a plate furnishes data for star measurements. And, as for the accn•acy of these plates, coni - 'pared with the telescope, a field which shows 50.00.000 to the object glass of , a telescope will reveal 160,000.010 to • the c•arn'•ra plate. In studying these plates measure- ments of the stars will be made by in- struments of greattest delicacy. Previ- ous to esposure dile plates were -mark- ed into stivares by tine. parallel lines, others crossing them at right angles. Special cameras were- used in the -work, patterned after a first instru- ment made by the Ilenrys at Paris. A guiding telest'olre enables the photog- rapher to keep his lens moving with the earth, a motion determined by fix- iug two intersecting hair lines in the telescope upon one central star and keeping them on the point of light. Sixteen of these instruments were made in Paris by tine henry brothers. Sir Howell Grubb designed and built 16 more to move by clockwork, and in these the operator simply in,oerte,1 the plate, leaving it to automatic adjust- ment. But, after all, this map of the heav- ens will .be faulty. It will show stats that may have wicked out 10.00) years ago, and it will not show constellations that may have come into being before the time of the deluge. Light travels 187,000 miles a second, and yet at this inconceivable rate stars that are within reach of the telescope have been 5.760 years in sending a ray to the earth. 'rhus stars that may have winked out before the birth of Christ will be on these charts, and unknown ones now in existence will have no showing., But in the future, when oth- er maps of the heavens shall be made and compared with this one now near- ing completion, the value of the work in determining the geography and min- eralogy of the stellar world is expected to be appreciated. The only thing by which the present work may pe gauged is the visual map begun by Bonn 25 years ago and completed by Argeian- der. This map tabulates only 485,000 stars. An Expensive Toy. Some children of Macon, Mo., are to have an expensive but highly instruc- tive toy in the shape of a complete min- iature trolley line about a mile long. Each car will accommodate eight pas- sengers and is complete in all detail, inciuding electric lights. The laiiway is to be operated in a private park. WONDERFUL SCALES. Will Weigh Accurately a Pound of Feathers or Two Big Cannon. While Washington is not a manufac- turing city, with large industrial enter- prises requiring the use of monster weighing machines, or "scaled" as they are commonly called. It has many weight determining balances and one at least which leads all others in this country. The large scales upon which :entire freight cars, with their loads of many tons, are weighed are considered colossal. but with all their immensity they are meager In the eyes of Uncle Sam, who went the railroad magnates of the country "one better" by install- ing at the navy yard the largest pair of scales in the country. This machine can outweigh the lar- gest railroad scales by 50 tons, and when it is e•,usidered that Its results must he accurate to a pouud. while railroad scales are considered good when they come within 50 pounds of the exaet weight, the result obtained is little less than marvelous. The scales are scarcely two years old, having been brought here during October, 1808. and set in position in the south end of the big navy yard near one of the gun - shops. A track leads from the gunshop to a forge' and crosses the flooring of the big scales about ten feet east of the entrance to the latter building. A considerable period of time was re- quired for the manufacture and erec- tion of this monster machine. It was brought here In sections, and the great- est care was exercised in reassembling the various sections of steel so that the poise of the broad platform should be exact. Hundreds of visitors have trod across this platform without knowing they were near one of the most interesting mechanical contrivances in the nation- al capital. They are not mentioned in the guidebooks, and the men at the navy yard do not call.attention to the scales pier excellence unless perhaps a flat car happens to be on the platform being weighed, with its load of two or three great guus. All the large ord- nance manufactured for• the navy is weighed upon this machine. It was built for that special purpose and has given great satisfaction. two years of usage having failed to dull its sensitive nature. There is nothing attractive about the *cities. From the surface of the ground they look like ordinary hay scales. Their delicate niechanlsnr, like the vital organs of the human body, is invisible to the e?e. The most intricate parts are in a broad pit below the ground. Close investigation. however, and a footrule would show that the platform of the machine is 48 feet long and 12 feet wide. Beneath the powerful ma- chinery is a cement base laid upon long piles. The ground is somewhat low, and it.was necessary to utilize the services of a pile driver to secure a stable foundation. A solid base is one of the prime requisites of a perfect weighing machine. When the government sought bids for the erection of the machine, notices were sent to all the leading scale man- ufacturers in the country. and the low- est bidder received the contract. Much of its fine and peculiarly sensitive ap- paratus was specially manufactured for use in the big machine, which dif- fers in its parts from any other scales in the country. The completed struc- ture is regarded as the finest of its kind in the world, a model and marvel of modern mechanism, as well as a splen- did achievement for American ingenui- ty. In order to illustrate the accuracy of the counterpoise of the huge machine to a reporter an officer in the bureau of yards and docks picked up a half brick which was lying near by and tossed it upon the platform of the big scales. He then consulted a long brass lever in the reading box along the edge of the platform and found that the weight of the brickbat was just one pound. Turning to the reporter, he said the machine is so sensitive that it will give the exact weight of anything from a pound of feathers to a pair of 13 inch guns and do it accurately. The ca- pacity of the scales is 150 tons, or dou- ble the capacity of the old set, removed when the present apparatus was in- stalled. A 13 inch gun weighs about 55 tons. Two of these monster instru- ments of war, reclining on a 48 foot car truck, can be weighed on the ma- chine without taxing its capacity.— Washington Post.

Baking Powder Economy The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. The Royal is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking . powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is -cheaper at its price than any similar article. Samples of mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis- tributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food, and in many cities their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

Davis of Leeds show- ed a most interesting barometer. A glass tube ten inches long and an inch in diameter ends in a bulb below and reaches above into a mercury basin. The mercury flows down the tube, compressing the air. When not in use, the barometer, with* its stand, is kept upside down. It is inverted for use and a reading quickly taken when the column bas come to a standstill. When the -ordinary barometer rises, this one falls. The tube is water jacketed. and a calcium chloride tube Is inserted to dry the small quantity of air sucked it The readings are said to be very accu rate, though the range of each instru- ment is small.—Scientiflc American. In 1845 the postage on a letter from New York to Wisconsin was 25 cents. People wrote long letters in those days in a fine copperplate hand on thin pa- per to get the worth of their money, but they wrote seldom. Kitchener Made Her Tremble. During the Anglo -Boer war a smart, good looking married woman of about 30 years of age acted as a Boer spy. She was married to a Russian civil en- gineer resident at Johannesburg, and at the outbreak of war the "slim" ; Transvaaiers sent her over the border labeled "dangerous." She established herself at Cape Town and soon man- aged to extractinformation from im- pressionable English officers. A corre- spondent who suet this clever woman in Cape Town said: "When Lord Kitchener of Khartum arrived in Africa, she went to meet him, for she knew that if she could get Inside his secrets she could learn all things. She made it her business to come -casually in contact with the Egyptian sphinx. She ran her eyes over the tall, gaunt figure, the rugged, ugly face. She looked into the promi- nent, all seeing e; es and knew at a glance that she was face to face with a magnetism stronger than her own, and nothing would induce her to 4o near him again. 'That is the most danger- ous man in Britain,' she said. 'I feel as if I were within the shadow of death when I am near him. He is a man for men to conquer. No woman can reach him to use him. He would read me like an open book in an hour, and I believe he would shoot me as he would shoot a Kaffir 1f he caught me red handed. I will try all other men, but not that living death's bead. No wonder he conquered in Egypt. I think he would conquer in hades.' " The House That Tresham Built. One of the curiosities of architecture in England is, according to The Stone Trades Journal, the house erected about 300 years ago at Rushton, in Northamptonshire, by Sir Thomas Tresham, a Roman Catholic, who wished by his design to typify the Trinity. The house is all threes, has three sides, three stories and three windows on each Bat, each of them in the shape of the trefoil—the three leaved sham- rock. Where the roofs meet rises a three sided pyramid, terminating in a large trefoil. The smoke escapes from this chimney by three round holes on each side of the three sides. The build- ing is almost covered with mottoes and carvings, three Latin inscriptions, one on each i the three sides, having 33 letters in each. Three angles on each side bear shields. Over the door Is the text from the Vulgate, "There are thrt e that bear record." Inside the house each corner is cut off from each of the three main rooms, so that on every floor there are three three sided apart- ments. intranmimmemotarsaminiemeasmemiu Character Told by Lips. "Whether or not we believe in phre- nology, physiognomy and kindred sci- ences, there are some peculiarities of feature that are quite often indicative of certain traits of character," said an observant man. "From uo one feature of the face e' -n -the disposition be more accurately read than from the lips and especially the upper lip. The lower one is less prophetic. "A person with a short, sharply curved upper 1 p is nearly always of a happy, lovable disposition. One with a short but straight upper lip is apt to be of a low order of intellect and coarse in his tastes. The person with -a long, straight upper lip is the one to beware of. He has.a will like adamant, is not always thoroughly trustworthy, is apt to be quarrelsome and jealous and is more often than not an unmitigated politician. If he is gifted with a strong intellect, he will make his mark in one way or another; if he is not, he may become ) harmless person, a parasite or a scoundrel. The man whose upper lip protrudes is apt to be a shrewd business man. "The person whose mouth has a, de- cided droop at the corners may be a hu- morist, a hypochondriac or a poet. The possessor of a mouth curved in the style of Cupid's bow is indeed happy, for in nine cases out of ten he also possesses a refined, aesthetic and yet practical nature, susceptible to every beautiful and ennobling influence."— Chicago Record. When Bathing Was Rare. - In some old court memoirs of the eighteenth century which have recent- ly been called again to attention it is stated that when George IV was a baby he was bathed only once a fort- night. That was thought to be plenty often enough in those days for a child to be washed. When one of George's little sisters had measles, the royal mother gave most careful instructions that the child's linen was not to be changed too soon, as she feared that some careless attendant would clothe It in garments insufficiently aired and so "drive In the rash." In those days people were much afraid of clean linen and bathing. It was believed the com- plete bodily ablutions were weakening, yet prince, peer and peasant alike Mill- ed in at every ailment the doctors of the period, who bled them into a state of weakness and sometimes death. A Sort of Endless Chain. "Christmas comes but once a year." "Glad you think so. What with sis- ters and cousins and aunts it has come to me four hundred and forty -eleven times already with waiters, bootblacks, barber's and office boys to hear from." THE ROMANCE OF HOLLY. The Good Will and Good Cheer of Spiked Leaf and Scarlet' Berry. There is a large number of persons, even in this mercenary workaday age, to whom the sentiment that lies behind that which we can see, touch and han- dle is more than the material part of it. Our senses, those five servitors by which the soul is ministered to, convey a great deal more than those things which can be expressed by sight, sound, hearing, taste and smell. First there is connected with a thing whatso- ever the association of its use, next the sentiment inseparably connected with It by the use of custom—these for all and several—and behind and beyond these again there lie those idiosyncratic fascinations which link peculiar fan- cies to particular things. It has come to be with holly, as with some other sympo11ca1 pants, orange blossom, rue, myrtle, cypress, mistle- toe, that it has power to awaken some sentiment to conjure up romance. Time, weaving these two together, has given us the romance of holly in many a strange old superstition, and through them all runs the note of joy, of good luck, cheer, good will. The romance of holly is not far to seek. Peace, good will and the cheaper virtues of hospi- tality grow on the bush, with spiked leaf and blushing coral. The romance of holly is very old. Pliny tells us how a bough of holly planted near a dwelling house keeps off lightning or cast into water makes it Alf 4 B.,ef,b„rf ..the suw,merh4f,— But Nis r s bs t;.,, ei Ho' i ie s ! ” THE HOLLY BOUGH. become ice or thrown at any beast causes it to return to the spot where it is required to be, and it was a common custom among the Homans to send hol- ly wreaths to weddings as tokens o' congratulations, always because of this same association of good luck with the romance of holly. . The old agricultural feast of Saturn was kept with decorations of holly among other evergreens perhaps to counteract with its cheerful hues the influence of the melancholy god. Hol- ly was chief among the boughs that our Teutonic ancestors used to make a bower In their buts where the wood- land sprites might shelter when their sylvan haunts were bare of lea res. This probably gave it a sacred distinc- tion for them. And though Indigenous some of our ancestors extended its groves by planting it as a charm against evil spirits. Later, in Christian times, a tradition grew up in northern Europe that the holly • had composed the crown of thorns. In Denmark and Germany it still bears the name of "Christ's thorn." The world is growing old. It begins to tire of simple ways and childish pleasures and plain virtues, but while we live we love, and so long as the so- cial customs of Christmas lead us to give more generously to the poor, to show more hearty sympathy to our neighbor and more tenderness to those we love—these are the woodland sprites sheltered in the holly bough—so long will the romance of holly be wel- come and dear, and those who carp and cavil at Christmas may, go "crye in the Ivy with the owlet." A Jockey's Sensation When Riding. "If you ride with your head down— that is to say, bent slightly, so that the wind does not beat right on to your face -you can breathe easily, but 1f you hold your mouth wide open and let the air beat right in your face then you will have great difficulty in breathing, and tt the race is a long one you will become exhausted by the end of the ride." So said a well known jockey when questioned ou the subject of what his sensations were when riding In a race. "A mile race on a good horse is run In about 1 minute and 40 seconds.. A mile in 1 minute and 40 seconds is at the rate of 30 miles an hour, so, you see, a race horse travels at train 'speed. "If you want to know Trow it feels to go through the air at race horse speed, just hang your head out of a railway carriage window, turning your face to• ward the way the train is traveling. At the same time imagine that you are sitting in a saddle and have to hold on to your horse and guide him on to vicr tory if possible, keeping him from be• ing run down or interfered with. "It is no easy task to ride a horse in a races The jockey must have all his wits about him. Ile does not have much time to think how he feels. When riding in a neck and neck race down the home stretch. I forget everything except that 1 must strain every nerve to pass the other. horses. No thought is then 'given to the plaudits from the grand stand." Old Fashioned Cancer Cure. Take the common sheep sorrel which grows in your yard and which children eat because of its sourness, mash it up into a pulp in some vessel that w111 save all the juice that would otherwise be lost, then put it into a bag and squeeze out all the juice on to a pew- ter plate to get some of the acid from the metal. then put this out in the sun and let it dry until about as thick as tar, then put in tight bottle. If the skin is not broken, put a drop of chlo- ride of potash or lye on it to break the skin and then apply the sorrel on.the cancer . just covering it with a thin coat. If the sorrel gets too thick, a little water will make it so that it can be handled. The pain will be severe, but it is oth- erwise harmless. It will stop hurting in a few hours. Keep up these appli- cations, one every day, until the cancer can be lifted out without pain. It took four days in my case. The sorrel will cook the cancer, but it does not eat it as it does the flesh, hence it eats all the flesh away and lets the cancer loose. When you see the cancer, put the sorrel on it and not on the flesh. When the cancer is out, heal the sore with any kind of healing ointment.—J. A. Wayland in Appeal to Reason. Ancient Cast Steel. The manufacture of cast steel in In- dia can be traced back for over 2,000 years, while there are also examples of wPought iron work nearly as old. Near Delhi, Close to the Kutub, there is an enormous wrought iron pillar which weighs ten tons and is thought to be over 1,800 years old:—Chicago Chroni- cle. The Gentle Reader. What has become of the gentle read- er? asks Samuel 111. Crothers in The Atlantic. One does not like to think that he has passed away with the stagecoach and the weekly news letter and that henceforth we are to be con- fronted only with the stony glare of the intelligent reading public. Once upon a time—that is to say, a generation or two ago—he was very highly esteemed. To him books were dedicated with long rambling prefaces and with episodes which were their own excuse for being. In the very middle of the story the writer would stop with a word of apol- ogy or explanation addressed to the gentle reader or at the very least with a nod or a wink no matter if the fate of the hero be in suspense or the plot be inextricably involved. "Hang the plot!" says the author. "I must have a chat with the gentle read- er and find out what he thinks about it." And so confidences were interchang- ed, and there was gossip about the uni- verse and suggestions in regard to the queerness of human nature until at last the author would jump up with: "Enough of this, gentle reader; perhaps it's time to go hack to the story." Miss Kingsley and the Gorillas. On the Gabon river Miss Mary Kingsley's guide one day called to her to creep quietly through the bushes and then she saw a family of five go- rillas—an old male, three females and a young one. The guide sneezed, which alarmed the gorillas, and they fled with a bark and a howl, the old male swinging from bough to bough like an acrobat on a trapeze. On another day I'Iiss Kingsley and her two guides came suddenly upon a solitary male gorilla, who, as usual, had appropriated a forest glade as a park for bis private enjoyment. Fu- rious at the intrusion, the brute, in- stead of fleeing, came shambling to- ward theism, growling fiercely. "Shoot him," Whispered Miss Kingsley. "I dare not," said the guide, "until he comes quite close. I have only one gun. The other is out of order. If I miss, be will kill us." The gorilla came nearer. Rearing himself on his hind legs he beat his breast and roared, just as Du Chaillu described long ago. Then, running for- ward, he stopped and roared again and again ran forward until quite close. Then the guide fired and the gorilla dropped dead.—Chambers' Journal. A Unique Claim. The,following unique claim is posted on a mine in the Grand Encampment, in Wyoming: "We found it, and we claim it by the right of founding it.. It's our'n. it's 750 feet in every direc- tion except southwest and northeast, and there is 300 feet on each side of this wr'itin. It's called the Bay Horse, and we claim even the spurs, and we don't want nobody jumping on this Bay Horse—that's what these trees is around here for, and we've got the same piece of ropiP-that we had down in old Missouri." Pipleas Apples. a New Discovery. For some years we have enjoyed the pipless oranges. but it was not until quite recently that a fruit grower suc- ceeded in producing a seedless apple. The fruits have been seen by many in- terested in pomology, and in a few years' time a good supply of these pip-; less apples will doubtless be found on the market. It is said, too, that these new apples are superior in flavor to the ordinary kinds. Already high prices are being }raid for the trees, which for some time yet will be bought up by rich amateurs. Blamed the Planets. In the middle of the fourteenth cen- tury in Paris a new ordinance enjoin- ing the cleansing of the streets and the shutting up of swine was carefully neglected, as usual, and a terrible plague was the consequence. The fac- ulty of medicine, called upon for a rem- edy by the king, sent to inform him after long discussion that the plague was the result of a hostile conjunction of the planets Mars and Jupiter. Bronx river, New York, derives its name from ?outs Bronx, who settled in that region in 1639. DEFECTIVE PAGE ENE - • THE GAZETTE. IRVINE/ TODD -a SON. SATURDAY DECEMBER 22d, 1900. The board of the Institute for De- fectives in Faribault, at its recent monthly meeting, placed on record its hearty appreciation of the deep interest and cordial co-operation of Supt. J. H. Lewis, and earnestly re- quested Gov. Van Sant to continue hen in the position he has so adniira- ley filled. Experiments in wireless telephon- ing at Minneapolis have proved quite satisfactory, the voice being dis- tinctly understood across the river. The plant consisted of two hundred feet of copper wire *stretched parallel to the opposite line, the ends being grounded in the water. There is no particular reason why Minneapolis should claim the United States senator this winter, as she lost it six 3 -ears ago by not giving a cor- dial support to W. D. Washburn. History seems to repeat itself. Their strongest candidate to -day is Thomas 'Lowry. The railroad commission has dis- missed the case against the Milwaukee Road for conversion of its narrow guage line between Zuinbrota and 1Vabasha to standard width, and con- tinued the case against its harrow gunge line. between Reno and Preston. A reunion of the Winona normal school alumni, former students and . teachers, will be held at the parlors of the Windsor. Hotel, St. Paul, Dec.. 26th, at five p. m. Every one here- tofore connected with the institution is desired to be present. It is estimated thee two hundred thousand Americans went over to Europe this year and spent $10,000,000.

The state treasurer has called in $70,000 outstanding bonds, .which re- duces the state debt to $1,209,000, and saves $2,450 yearly interest. The amount paid off in Ihe past nine years is e450,000. The Ramsey County delegation has unanimously indorsed M. E. Clapp as a candidate to fill the vacan- cy in the United States senate, which gives him a solid backing of ten re- publican votes. The attorney general holds teat to redeem property sold at tax sales the applicant must pay all the taxes due, • with -interest and costs, a saving to the state of thousands of dollars. The country press is rallyiug to the support of M. E. Clapp in a highly gratifying manner. Its influence made C. K. Davis senator, and it can settle the question of his successor. • Ice cutting on White Bear Lake has been barred out by the supreme court, on the ground • that it has re- duced the level of the water two feet in the last twelve years. The Minnesota Thresher Manufac- turing Company at Stillwater has been pla`ced in the hands of a receiv- er, E. D. Buffington, who will re- organize the concern. The delegation from the fourth con- gressional district has swung • into line for M. E. Clapp, which places him decidedly in the lead. Let the good work go on. P. T. Wallert, who murdered his wife and four step children in Sibley County, Aug. 19th, has been found guilty and sentenced to be hung. ' W. H. C.

The Minneapolis legislative delega- tion has about settleddownto push- ing the claims of R. G. Evans for the United States senatorship. Mr. Evans is an able and influential man, but we are of the opinion that, if it is to go to the cities, St. Paul has at least as good a man and is justly en- titled to the preference.—Litcheidd News -Ledger. Langdon Items. Ed. Colwell is down from Grace- ville on a visit. School closed here on Friday for the holiday vacation. Miss Pearl Keene is down from Valley City on a visit. - Miss Myrtle J. Keene will spend her vacation iu Minneapolis. Newell Hardy, of Diamond Bluff, has been the guest of his brother John. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Kemp enter- tained a few friends at cards Monday evening. Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Busting enter- tained the cinch clab Wednesday evening. Fred Dellamore has sold out his livery business at the Park to Hui. bert Clark. C. E.

A number of our odd fellows at- tended the lodge at South St. Paul Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Kemp and Mrs. C. H. Gilmore leave on Satur- day to spent Christmas at Hector. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Kemp were given a pleasant surprise Wednesday evening by a large party of friends. A letter from B. C. Pew, of Cando, N. D., states that it is twenty-two below zero at that place, with fifteen inches of snow. He expects to re- turn soon to spend the.winter. Quite a number from around here attended the public installation of officers and annual banquet given by Acacia Lodge No. 51, A.F. and A.M., at Cottage Grove, on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Burghardt, of St. Anthony Park, an nounce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Elizabeth F. Burghardt to Mr. George R. Crippen, jr., of Cottage Grove, the wedding to take place at the St. Anthony Park Congregational Church next Wednesday evening. Mrs. Sarah Cotton, familiarly known as Aunt Sally, died at her home in Newport on 'Tuesday, of pneumonia. Aunt Sally was a well known character of this county, hav- ing resided at different places in it for over forty years. She has lived in an old cottage at Newport for a great many years, her only means of subsistence being the contributions of friends, among whom she would make daily trips. Vermillion Items. Miesville is talking of building a new creamery in the near future; push it to a finish. A car load of sawdust was shipped hefe this week and divided among adr business naen. There was a turkey raffie at Ber- nerd Bennett's Wednesday evening, and a good time is reported. The school room in District 5 has been improved in appearance by a new library and clock. The value of the books is $40. The speech delivered by Prof. T. L. Haecker, of the state university, has proved a success, as the milk has increased at the creamery. Those who were down with diph- theria here are all doing well. The Bissells are out again, and we hope that all the others will be allowed their liberty soon. The creamery paid twenty-three cents for the month of November. That is a good price ter butter at this time of season, and the farmers should make arrangements to deliver more milk. N. N. Larson, butter maker, leaves for Litchfield on Saturday to spend Christmas week at home. Barney. Kirchner will have charge of the creamery and do the skimming part during his absence. Inver Grove Items, Born, to Mr. andft Mrs. Liana Sackett, Dec. 18th, a son. Mrs. Maggie Miller and son, of St. Paul, visited Mrs. F. J. Benson over Sunday. Fred Miller, our former merehan and postmaster, now of Montrose called on old friends last week. Miss Edyth McGuire entertains fo her pupils Saturday evening. Games and luncheon will be in order. The small pox scare at Inver Grove has about subsided. We think there was more smoke than fire, as it were. Dame Rumor says we are to have it number of weddings, in the near future of course; will give particulars ater. Mrs. F. J. Benson has been nurs- ing a severe attack of tonsilitis, but is very much improved at this writing. Ole Johnson is receiving treatment at St.Luke's Hospital for appendicitis. We hope to hear of an ultimate recovery. The Small Pox in Inver Grove. INTER GROVE, Dec. 18th, 190•. To the Editor of The Gazette: The late meagre reports as to smal pox in this town, taken in connection with the conflicting opinions as to diagnosis during the epidemic that prevailed in Minneapolis during last winter, and especially that at present in Winona and other places, long since demanded something more than a passing notice. Through the cour- tesy of The Gazette the writer offers his personal ideas, which to say the most can only tend to mitigate the 'flitch abused quarantine and extend sympathy to the midnight dreamer over the horrors of the disease. In June, 1899, the writer was called to a case of the -.mild (distinct) form of this disease ol whieh there could be no question, but in the course of time when the -six younger children came down (?) with it, all with,a still milder form and with just such an insignifi- cant pustule that it might readily pass for chicken pox or some anonymous eruptive disease, and, to physicians who liasi seen little or nothing of this disease, it is not strange that they failed to recognize the old of- fender in its new garb without the sanction of medical authorities. Without stopping to inquire as to any marked change in the nature of this disease in other parts of our country or Europe, it appears to be decidedly so in this state. While all epidemics run in types in this, the mild has now prevailed beyond all precedent, and strengthens the assumption of the writer that it is to a great degree per- manent and only to be accounted for through the laws of cause and effect, the law that fails to reproduce the "plague of London," the law that gave to us diphtheria and la grippe, both comparatively new. With con- tagious diseases there is no questioe but what the strength of the een- tagion is in proportion to the gravity of inalignancy, and to treat the mild and nialignaut upon the same rules of quarantine involves errors that should be corrected. It must be a succeeding recovery, rare case that Lite 1:11)80often da and clothing properly cared for, where contagion could possibly be retained. With us the superstition in regard to contagin 80(1 its destruction !iv the means in vogue is 00 a plane in ad- vance of the Turk, who subjects all travelers to the fumes of burning sulphur free of charge. As to the status here,the ten or fifteen who first suffered. from "Aicken pox" there, remains nothing to be said against their "IA II of health," while the two families under quarantine will bless their stars when they see the last of the ."microbe killer." However, the public pulse is quite norintil.though it would not be judicious for any one to be seen in South St. Paul with a l•Cti nose and a pimple on the chin. Since The Democrat went to press last week the Hon. M. E. Clapp, of St. Paul, has announced his cau- 1 didacy for United States senator to succeed the late C. K. Davis, over his own signature, and if Ramsey County members of the .legislature stand by him his election is practical- ly assured, for he is a prime favorite in Southern Minnesota and will cer- tainly have a large following in the north. There are a mimber of strong men named for the position; but 1)3r education, knowledge of the law, ex- perience, and oratorical ability there is not one that reaches the standard of 1/r. Clapp. He is still a young man and splendidly endowed with natural gifts. His experience of six years as attorney general of the state, his liberal education, his splendid abilities as a orator, his quick percep- tions, all aid in making him a model candidate. And there is still another reason, he is in the prime of life and will grow, as C. K. Davis grew, and Minnesota wants a senator she can keep in the place with growing honors to herself. It would be feeble policy to send an old man to the senate whose days of growth and fruitage are passed; it would be equally fool- ish to send there a man with nothing to commend him but business success. Look to the future.—Faribault Democrat. BARTON.P. Randolph Denali. Glen Morrill is honie for the holi- day vacation. Miss Celia Miller was in Cannon Falls Wednesday. Charles Morrill was up from Ken- yon Wednesday night. Mrs. C. S. McCloud and daughters Bessie and Mae were in the cities Tuesday. Ellsworth 01.r is at Madison Lake receiving medical treatment fOr his nervousness. Mrs. A. L. Foster, formerly of this place but now of Vesta, has the typhoidfever. Misses Ada and Vera Foster are home from St. Cloud for their holi- day vacation. The M. W. A. gave its fourth annual ball last Friday evening. Oysters were served at the restaurant. ,The Randolph creamery is being moved- up to Wallace this week by its new proprietors, Hunter & Harkness Miss Nettie McElrath is luffering from a very bad arm, pronounced by the attending physician as erysipelas. The quarantines for diphtheria at the homes of C. R. Foster and Mrs. B. McElrath were removed .the first of the week. Miss Minnie Wert is planning a Christmas tree for her school on Friday. The children are anticipa- ting a very enjoyable time. Misses Nettie and Jennie Morrill, of Northfield, and Earl Morrill, of Epworth, Ia., came home Wednes- day night for their holiday vacation. Gen. Clapp is the favorite in St. Paul, and really he is the only logical candidate here, but neitber the press nor the leading politicians warm. up to him as they. should. Probably after sparring for an opening the saintly city will unite upon Clapp, and if he ean be pulled through both the city and the state will have a sen- ator of excellent ability.—Marshall News -Messenger. • Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Colby, of Hest- ings'are the guests of Prof. and Mrs. H. 11. Wilson. --Red Wing Republican. It is not very clear why a man should be barred from becoming a candidate for public position on ac- count of -his fitness in matters peculiarly needful in the office to which he aspires, and parties raising this point against M. E. Clapp have no reason to be proud about it. Senator C. K. Davis was the princi- pal attorney before the United States supreme court against the state, in the Anderson tax law suit, while holding the position of senator, for the very reason that the railroad cor- porations considered him best equip- ped to handle the case successfully. Mr. Clap fs holds no position of trust from the people at present, and con- sequently is at liberty to devote his time and talents to his profession as he sees et, and if a rich corporation thinks enough of les ability to give hen a lucrative position the public can rest assured that he would also do credit to a seat in the United States senate, so ably filled by the brilliant senator, C. K. Davis.—St. Peter Free Press. Nininger Items.

Hennepin County has agreed on R. G. Evans as its candidate for U. S. senator to succeed the late C. K. Davis. Ramsey County brings its favorite out in the person of M. E. Clapp, who has many of the elements of a statesman and is a logical, repre- sentative man. They are both well equipped for the place, and either would honor the position and the state; but every one acquaintedereith the candidates has a preference, an the ex -attorney general has many elements of strength throughout the state by reason of his associations with affairs in which many public men were interested, and besides he is recognized as a good lawyer, and so is Evans, yet as between the two meu,Mr. Clapp possesses more requi- sites of the man for the place than the other in the minds of not a few of the friends of each.—Granite Falls Tribune. The mower is again put into motion at the Ann River Co's. stock farm, and hay is being cut on the meadows up, at Ann Lake where it was too wet to cut in the summer. They started a crew of men and machines to work on Tuesday morning. The hay is re- ported to be of very good quality eou- sidering the time of cutting. Scarcity of hay this year has raised the price of that article to a point that has never been paid on the farm before, and they have increased their stock to such an extent that it is impossible to obtain hay enough at any price, and we all know the reason why more hay hasn't been put up in the haying season this year. The number of cattle they now have on hand is over twelve hundred.—Mora Times. Gen. Clapp seems likely to have a strong backing in the state at large for the senatorship, and if the Ram- sey County and fourth district politi- cians get together upon him, as they should do if they hope for success, his- chances will be good. R. G. Evans has a strong lead with the Hennepin County politicians, and his friends will make a determined contest in his behalf. Either of these gentlemen would fill the posi- tion with marked ability and credit to the state.—Faribault Republican. The past week M. E. Clapp has been tightening his grip on the sen- atorial chair. There is some talk of Tawney entering the field, but we do not think it at all probable.— Chatfield News. Sawbucks and a big woodpile have been included in the course of treat- ment at the new Hastings hospital for the insane with remarkably satisfac- tory results. The treatment was pre- seribed by Supt Carmichael for a number of his male patients. When winter set in there was too little out- side work for the able bodied male patients. Those who had been at work during the summer on the ex- cavations and quarrying for the new barn missed their exercise. Mr. Car- michael was almost at his wits end to supply the need of out of door exer- cise. The woodpile and about sixty saws and bucks is his solution. Sec- retary Jacksou, of the state board of corrections and charities, who has just returned from a visit to the insti- tution, stated yesterday that the men are cheerful and happy again, and are making inroads on the unsawed wood. They are given regular exer- cise for short hours each day.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. M. E. Clapp, of St. Paul, and R. G. Evans, of Minneapolis, now appear to be the leading candidates for United States- senator to succeed the late Senator Davis. They are both strong and clean men, fine lawyers, and either would make a creditable senator. Mr. Clapp was attorney general of this state three years and made an exceptionally good official, and Mr. Evans has been district at- torney for a year or two. The senti- ment in Southern Minnesota, as far as we have beard it expressed, is decid- edly to the advantage of Mr. Clapp, and he would be the choice of a majority of the republicans in this section. • The republican members of the legislature from Hennepin Coun- t3e have endorsed Mr. Evans, and those from Ramsey County Mr. Clapp. The senatorial fight promises to be a very interesting one.—Albert Lea Enterprise. Sarah Cotton, familiarly known as Aunt Sally throughout Washington County, died yesterday morning at Newport. Though she had lived in Washington County, and chiefly at Newport, since before the civil war, little is known of her origin and nothing of her relatives. She had a marked Irish brogue. She paid regular visits to those were kind to her, and, while willing to accept means or food from those she knew, she had a horror of the county poor house. She claimed to have a son with one of the regiments in the Philippines. She lived alone in a cottage near the river, and Sunday afternoon kindly neighbors, missing her accustomed visits, called and found her too i1 to sit up. Dr. A. H. Steen, of Cottage Grove, was called, and pronounced the trouble pneumonia. —St. Paul Globe, 19th. The Union's first choice for United States senator, to fill the vacancy cre- ated by the death of C. K. Davis, is M. E. Clapp, the Black Eagle of Minnesota. Mr. Clapp is an able lawyer, a brilliant orator, and a man of the people. There are other good men who aspire to the senatorship, but, in our judgment, Mr. Clapp is by all odds the best qualified for the position. As we have previously re- marked it is not possible for Minne- sota to send such another as Davis to the United States senate at this time, but, measured by the Davis standard, M. E. Clapp will come nearer to fil- ling the requirements than any other man.- No mistake will be made if big, brainy, brilliant M. E. Clapp is chosen to succeed the lamented Davis in the United States senate.—Prince- ton Union. A few days ago two ladies were in the city soliciting advertisements from our business men to be placed in the hymn books of the Presby- terian Church. A number of busi- ness firms placed orders with the ladies, but as far as known only one paid in advance. The ladies were doing this soliciting without the knowledge of the trustees of the church, and as soon as the latter heard of it they took steps to have it stopped, as it did not seem proper te them to put advertisements in hymn books.—Red Wing Republican. M. E. Clapp has formally announc- ed his eandidacy for the United States senate to succeed the late C. K. Davis. His election will largely depend upon the support which the Ramsey County delegation will give him, for we believe that he will have a stronger backing in ate country dis- tricts than any other candidate. The seventh congressional district should and we hope will give him an almost united support, for there is no ques- tion but that lie is the popular choice in the northwestern part of the state. —Morris Sun. The work of tilling the area under the bridge on the island has now been completed, with the exception of some of the rip-eepping and this will be finished this week. The bridge was over one hundred feet long, and the cost for filling will be between $500 and $600. The bridge just re- moved was the only one on the island road except the long bridge which spans the Wisconsin channel, and it is a question of a few years when a new bridge must be built there.—Red Ring Republican,. By right the vacancy belongs to St. Paul, and St. Paul will probably first present the name of M. E. Clapp. Minneapolis will present R. C. Evans. Close seconds are the names of H. F. Stevens, of St. Paul, and Cyrus North- rop, of Minneapolis. As fast as the country press unites upon one of these names, just so fast will the daneer of scandal be eliminated. Mete on the best men first and we shall make no mistake.—Midtvay News. The District Court The following cases have been dis- posed of: School District 99 vs. School District 52, both in Mendota.

Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, , As you know the past ten years have reduced property - values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one.half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 110,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for 1200 as one for 1.50.000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from 52110 to 15.000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts. but cannot always procure small amounts (less than 110,000) and I have many applications for loans of from 1300 to 95,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon trio,.or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

When the show reached winter quar- ters in Cincinnati, the proprietors were in haste to get away—Mr. Ent to New York and. Mr. Lake to his Michigan farm. The former, who was "boss," said to me: "Bill Cripps, you've been our head animal man only one season, but that's enough for me to know and trust you. so I'm going away with my mind easy. leaving you in entire charge of the menagerie. Keep the bills down, draw on me when you want money, and—that's all." • I said I'd do my best and meant it. ' The circus outfit I had nothing to do with. The menagerie was well housed WE RAD A LOT OF VISITORS. • In a huge barn away out on Weste row, which seemed to have been bu to fit it: A good big roomwas part Boned off for° me In one front corns The cages were ranged along the si walls, with a runway behind them, at in box stalls across the Farther e were the zehra, the elephant the ca el and the sacred cow.

Caged animals become restless if le alone, and I never went out more th an hour orl two at a time, but even a that i took a good many long walk for exercise and to see the city, leavin black Satin—my helper—and the tw cage cleaners for the animalstoloo at.

And what made it harder to bear was that home and love belonged an my past and I could not forget them When I came back to New York after a winter engagement with "Bentley's Aggregation" in the West Indies ane South America, I found my dear wife Lizzie had been run down by a Broad- way stage and killed. And what had become of my sweet little baby girl Jennie, only 4 rears old, nobody could tell me. That was a dozen years back, but never since have I felt any less heartsick and lonely.than when my grief was fresh, and in the winter, along about Christmas, I always feel it most. The animals, as l sat brooding by the stove, seemed to know I was in troll- ble and feel sorry for me. They would stand still a long time looking at me, and the elephant, I'm sure, tried to ask, by his little squeals, what was the mat- ter. Only that mean camel screwed up his nose seornfullike, as if he didn't care a cuss who felt bad, which he cer- talMy�c�idn't Friday morning, the third day before Christmas, Jack Henderson, a young reporter, dropped in. as he often did, and happened to.remark: "It seems hard to be Imprisoned for life without an occasional happy day to vary the monotony. Caged animals ought to Wave holidays." That set me thinking after he was gone, and I made up my mind the men- agerie under my charge should, for once anyway, bare a Christmas. I con- sidered on sidered what every bird and beast in the lot liked best and mostly *ever got, and all those things 1 meant they should have on Christmas day. That afternoon I went out buying and laugh- ed to myself when I thought 1 was ac- tually purchasing Christmas presents for a lot of folks who would he sure to appreciate them. ' I got for the birds 511 sorts of choice fruits, nice seeds, ants' eggs, meal - worms, and so on, according to their several tastes, and for the monkeys more fine fruit. fig paste, candy and nut kernels. For the cat animals 1 engaged plenty of tender, juicy, fresh beef instead of tough old horse, their ordinary diet. There wasn't much to be done for the hay eaters beyond un- accustomed oats, apples and bran mashes, but for the elephant 1 got a basket of fine oranges and had baked a lot of patty cakes, such as he used to enjoy at home in India. The camel didn't really deserve any Christmas, but I bought a batful of dates for him anyway. rn tit 1- r. de hd nd m- d - he ht m, as id y ft an s g 0 k r r n d t e de e s e e 1 was getting the stutr in on Satur day afternoon when Jack came arounm again with a bunch of good cigars fo my Christmas, and it brought my hear up In my throat that the kind fellow had thought of me so, for no one els had since Lizzie died. He asked wba ha the things were for, and I told him Maybe I said more than I meant to. fo my heart was full at the time, and 1 had no idea of his putting anything in the paper about the menagerie's Christ- mas. But he did, and really when 1 read on Christmas morning the story he got up I was surprised. Cat animals are ver fed on Sun- days and as we let tl.l go shy of break- fast Monday -the menagerie's appetite for a Christmas dinner at noon was sure to be good. Before that time came We bad a lot of visitors, nice peo- ple eaple who had seen Jack's story, and among them were a floe white beaded old gentleman who introduced himself as Dr. Hiram Bidwell, and his adopted daughter—a splendid looking girl. Luckily we were in good shape to re- ceive them. Sam wore a new suit 1 had given him. The cage cleaners were so washed and draped up they hardly recognized each other and I was got .up with as much style as a ringmaster myself. Precisely at noon we sprung our glad surprise on the animals. If you Imagine those birds and beasts didn't notice any change in their bill of fare, you are wrong. You never saw such joyous excitement among feathers and fur. They jabbered, chattered, shriek- ed and roared their delight In all their various modes of speecb. The mon- keys seemed half crazy, and even the sedate elephant danced, flapped his ears like fans and squealed. Only that mean camel was indifferent and ate his fancy dates with a sneering twist of his nose, as if he meant to say, "You can't soft sawder me." The sight of the general happiness gladdened everybody and none more than Dr. Bidwell and his - daughter, who staid until all the other visitors were gone, talking with me about the animals and, as I afterward remem- bered, a good deal more about myself. Near dark, just when 1 was thinking of going out to a restaurant for my dinner, Dr. Bidwell came back, and nothing. would do but I must go with him to get a glass of eggnog.

Then that splendid girl, who bad been standing behind me, put ber arms around my neck and 'said, "Yon shall never be alone in the world any more, dear father!' "What," I cried, taking her In my arms, "you—you, my little Jennie! Oh, is God really and truly so good to me after all?" It seemed impossible, but was true.

It has been truly remarked that the logic of children is excellent, but that they lack experience. The following authentic anecdote, however, comes somewhat under the head of excep- tions to that rule. A lady was giving a lesson In "concrete arithmetic" to ber little boy. "Now, supposing I give you a choco- late," she said, "and then another, how many would that make?" "Two." "And then supposing I gave you four more, what would that make?" "It would make me very sick," was the wholly unexpected reply. Morality. On what- is the whole of morality based? To live nobly and rightly in these five relations of life: Sovereign and subject, parent and child, husband and wife, elder and younger, brother and brother, friend and friend. To each of these belongs appropriate con- duct. For a universal love of mankind without distinction of persons gives more to him to whom less is due and less to him to whom more is due.—Con- facies' Law of Lite. hired girl, and he is left handed." "Mr. Holmes, you are an everlasting marvel. How can you tell that about a man you don't know and whom you never saw before?" "Look at the second knuckle on his left hand. Yon see, It Is badly skinned. Also there is a black mark on his left cuff. Now let us see what we must make of this. When a left banded man pokes up the furnace fire, how does he do it? By putting his left hand for- ward, of course. Thus it happened that it was his Left hand which scraped against the furnace door. The black- ened cuff shows that at was a furnace door. Having this foundation to work upon, the rest is easy. If he lived in a flat, he would have no furnace to look after, and if his wife were not afraid of the bared girl they would make the latter do the poking up. It is ail very simple if one's perceptive faculties are properly, trained. Ile can't really af- ford to live in a house, because if he could he t*ould have a man to look aft- er the furnace. Therefore he ought to live in a flat." "But hold on. How do you know the man is married? He can't be over 30 at the most. Why may it not be possi- ble that he lives at home with his wid- owed mother?" "My dear sir," said Sherlock Holmes, Jr., "I alp surprised at your lack of perspicacity. If he lived at home with his widowed mother, he would permit her to tend to the furnace herself."— Chicago Times -Herald. - A Round Robin Remedy.

He was a man of unctuous piety, and his career in many respects resembled that of Jabez Balfour in later days. After his death the following prayer was found in his own handwriting a mong his papers: "0 Lord, thou knowest that 1 have nine houses in the city of London and that I have lately purchased an estate in fee siulple'in the county of Essex. I beseech thee to preserve the two coun- ties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquake, and as t have a mort- gage in Herefordsbire i beg of thee to have an eye of compassion also on that county; and for the rest of the counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased.

A boatman in the north of England having been engaged to row a reverend gentleman over a rough part of a river, was very much annoyed at the manner he was addressed by the clergyman, the conversation commencing thus: Clergyman— My dear man, have you ever studied "geology?" Boatman—No. sor; Aa bevn't Clergyman—Well, my friend, that's part of a life lost, but you will proba- bly know a little "theology?"

"It is perfectly natural," said one whose own business takes him about more or less, "that a man should be in- terested wherever he may be in things pertaining to his own business. I know I am in mine. When I strike a strange place, I like to go through the quarter where they carry on the business that I am engaged ed in and see how the S S run Y things in it there. But I have lately met with two illustrations of this sort of thing that seemed to me to be rather curious as well as interesting. "Talking with a New York paint manufacturer about paint of a certain kind, the paint man said incidentally that he bad seen paint of that color on Walls in Pompeii. Oddly enough, the other curious illustration arose out of the same ancient city. A New Yorker engaged in the manufacture of lead pipe said, incidentally to something that he was telling me about lead pipe, that he hgd found in Pompeii lead pipe an fair condition, this pipes while cov- ered with an incrustation that had gatbeeed upon it an the long time it had beef buried, yet cutting with as bright and perfect a cleavage as though it had been made yesterday instead of many centuries ago. "These two things interested some- what the paint man and the lead man respectively, and they certainly inter- ested me."—New York Sun. He Believed the Sign. It was a newly opened furnishing store, and one window was resplendent with neckties and cravats of glorious brilliancy. Confidently they announced in gilt letters, "Any article removed from the windows." So when Smith- son walked in and requested to see that "bright pink and green shot with pea- cock blue in the front -row" the polite salesman disarranged the front and after some considerable trouble brought out the desired object. "Rather loud, Isn't it?" remarked Smithson. The affable salesman was in com- plete accord. "Certainly it is striking." "I thought so. You needn't put it back." "Very well, sir, and the man began to wrap up the thing of beauty in its bed of tissue paper. "Anything else to- day, sir?" - "Oh, I don't want it," said Smithson, "only you know you advertise, 'Any ar- ticle taken from the window,' and as this hideous thing offends my aesthetic taste I thought 1'd ask you to remove it, that's all. Good day." - Then that salesman philosophized au- dibly and with much fervor. An Apt Answer. The dangers associated with the fish- ing industry on the Newfoundland banks are many and grave. Foremost among them Is that the dories may be upset while fishing, which involves the almost inevitable loss of their occu- pants. Callous captains, secure them- selves from the necessity of going, fre- quency order their men out when the weather does not warrant it, and disas- trous are the result. One' of these bru- tal skippers was aptly answered last year by a back man of whose courage or capacity there was no question. "Out with you!" shouted the captain. "Hurry up there! It's a fishing day." "Oh, no, skipper," replied the dory man. "It's too stormy today for a boat to fish." "Nonsense, man," rejoined the skip- per. "If my old grandmother from Provincetown was here today, she'd get her dory out." "Then, skipper," said the man, "if her grandson will come out with me now I'll haul my trawl." It is needless s to sayn dories o were launched from that schooner on that date.—Philadelphia Ledger.

"Well, sir, I looked that poem over again the other day and made up my mind to come and see you about it." "Yes." "I have come to say that if I looked as green 20 years ago as that poem proves me to have been I want to thank you because you didn't cut me up` and throw me as food to the crows. Good day."

"As a matter of fact," says a coura- geous writer au the Boston Transcript, "the common rat is a vastly more intel- ligent creature than the squirrel or the average cat. I am more than half con- vinced that the resources of the rat as a household pet would If fairly tested prove very great. The rat is undoubt- edly capable of a higher and more inti- mate form of domestication than that which he now commonly assigns to himself. He is at present a resident of our houses on unwelcome terms. and he makes himself, quite naturally, as much an enemy of the household as possible. "Let the rat be welcomed and made a friend of the family, as has been done in a few cases, and he becomes a dif- ferent sort of fellow altogether. No longer forced to steal his food. he be- comes a playmate and a .companion. The sleek and well groomed grey rat is, barring the ordinary baldness of his tail, quite as pretty and graceful a creature as the squirrel. and there is 130 reason why twe should not become so much accustomed to the appearance of his tail that in time we should regard it as quite ornamental." ' A Morocco Superstition. In a paper to the Anthropological in- stitute Dr. Westermark showed from investigations in Morocco that the Arab ginn, or gnuu, is regarded as a special race of beings created before Adam, of no fixed form and assuming, like Proteus, who was perhaps a per- sonage of the same extraction, almost any shape they please. Jiad'ginns at- tack men, but are kept away by salt or steel and verses of the Koran. The author supposes that the belief in ginns has conte down from a saltless and ironless age, but was absorbed and de- veloped eveloped at a later time under the influ- ence of Islam. - - To PnttIab Johnny. Francis Parkman, the historian, had a Mosaic idea of justice. A friend met him one day walking along the street h?ading a street boy with either hand. "What hat in the world are you doing, Parkinan?" asked his friend. "I found that Johnny here had eaten all of the apple instead of dividing with his little brother. i am going to buy another for the younger boy and make Johnny watch him while he eats it."

NOVEL. TWENTIETH CENTURY AGRI- CUL URAL MACHNE. • £hirago Bata's invention Which De. lighted v :.itors to Paris Expos' tion—11orizrntai Engine Used—Au- tomobiles to Do the work of Coun- try Horses. The automatic mowing machine could have been conceived and executed by none other than an American. It is the application of the motor te'horses' 'drudgery. to not only lighten a. but to facilitate farm work for men ate -Well as horses. It is a comparatively simple Ala.chine and yet oue which has more. uses than that for which it is designed. During the last summer there have come numerous - rep.,1•ts from in and about Paris concerning the automobile plower. All of these reports have giv- en Paris etedit for adapting the motor to farm use, yet it was an American and a Chicagoan who made the one machine which was successfully shown at the exposition. This machine was built by a Chicago man, J. F. Steward. says The Chronicle of that city. There was probably no exhibit in the mechanical department of the Paris• exposition which created a greater in- terestthan this automobile. The Pa- risians, who have become the prime movers in the automobile craze. were surprised and delighted with this new- device. Ealy in July it was taken 40.4 4•. ss. NEW AUTOMOBILa MOWED.. nut into the country near Paris and giver'• the most thorough tests. and again later in the season it was shown in alt exlttnition conducted by the .s t etii'illi... S core y fitseitr-y- Ciaye. It did the v. ark with far greater ease and rapidity than could tbe best of the horse mowers. It cut a clean, straight swath Ere feet wide and was manipu- lated in the field with perfect ease. The engine is of the two cylinder horizontal type which was found to be superior for this work •to the vertical engine. whi,•li. although .high speed, gives a decried jerkin„ motion. This motion can• lel such a jarring -of the cutter bar that. au uneven cut resulted, and there was a decided waste in the harvestiug of the crop. The engine is of about eight horse- power and has it belt wheel atta.eh- nient, so that it may ,be used for sta- tionary wort:.. Indeed, it was the plan of the builder .to produce a machine which -could be used for general work about the farm. Upon the removal of the cutter bar the motor mower stands a neat. bandy little engine, which may be used either for traction or station- ary work. It is safe to say there has been no agricultural machine brought forward in the past five years which created the universal interest among farmers that has already been aroused by the motor mower. It is interesting to the automobile fancier as well as to the farmer and to the mechanic, since it is one of the first practical appliances of the automobile idea to do the work of the country horse. - Sawdust as Fuel. Consul' Hughes of Coburg says that in Austria, where everything in the shape of fuel is being carefully investi- gated, sawdust is impregnated with a mixture of tarry substances and heated to the proper temperature. It is then passed over a plate of iron heated by steam, from which a screw conveyor takes it to a press, where it is com- pressed into briquettes of the required size. The press turns out 19 per min- ute, weighing two-fifths of a pound each and measuring 6 by 21,4 by 11h Inches. The caloric power trabout the same as that of lignite, with but 4 per cent of ash. One factory produced last year over 7,000.000 briquettes, costing about 16 cents per 1,000 and selling at from 95 cents to $1. New Patent Boot. The British war office is carrying out some experiments with the new patent boat .recently invented by an officer of the Austro-Hungarian army. This de- vice consists of a leather sole, under the heel of which is a contrivance of metal with a long spiral spring inside. The patent is so simple that it can be readily attached to the ordinary boot The object of the spring is to obviate any jar when placing the foot on the ground, so that it is like putting the foot upon a cushion. /efore introduc- ing it into the army the British authori- ties are testing it among the postmen, who have to tramp long distances in tbe performance of their duties over hard streets, which is particularly tir- ing work. Take away my first letter, take away my second letter, take away all my let- ters, and I am still the seine. What nee i 4 The voatreaita. TRADE OF THE WORLD. Treasury Statistics Show Balance of Trade In Our Favor. A statistical abstract cf the world which will show the imp•irts and ex- ports of every country having statistic- al reports is the ambition of the bureau of statistics of the treasury depart- ment, says the New York Tribune.. To present in a single volume a picture of the world's commerce not only of to- day, but extending over a long term 6f years, and to sbow that commerce in detail as to principal articles, country by country, with quantities and values stated in United States currency and measures of quantity, is a work of no small Magnitude, but of such great im- portance to the commercial interests of the country that it is being resolutely undertaken by the bureaus of statistics. The details of this work, which will be carried on under the personal supervi- sion of the chief of the bureau, have been intrusted to Benjamin T. Welch, whose long service in the bureau espe- cially fits him for this. duty. The opening chapter of the proposed volume has already been completed. It shows the total imports and exports of each country of the world having sta- tistical records from the earliest date for which the figures are obtainable down to the present time. One especially Interesting fact devel- open by a study of these figures is that In the case of the United States they show• with much greater frequency than in other countries. a favorable "balance -of trade," or excess of exports over imports. In the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy• Netherlands, Sweden and Norway and practically all European countries ex- cept Russia. Austria-Hungary and Spain the imports exceed the exports, in some cases by large sums, and this is true also m China and Japan. In the newer and great producing coun- tries—Canada, Mexico. 'Argentina, Aus- tralia and India—the exports exceed the imports in nearly every case. -- though in sums which are insigniflca •'t when compared with the enormous bal- ance of trade in faror of the United States in recent years. The commerce of 47 countries other Statesi detailed i than the United s n the opening tables of the proposed vol- ume. 01' this number 18 countries show an excess of exports over im- ports. and 29 show an excess of im- ports over exports. The principal coun- tries which show an excess of experts over imports are Canada, Mexico, Ar gentina. Chile. Australasia. Indy Lee :If. Sp' in--�iztria-Hungary and I:u:=via: A study of the detailed fig- ured In this group of favored countries whose exports exceed their imports and a comparison of their exports with those of the'United States alone fur- nish a striking evidence of the phe- nomenal prosperity' of our own coun- try. No one of the 18 countries whose exports exceed Imports shows a bal- ance of trade approaching that enjoy- ed by the United States, and a com- pilation of the excess of exports in the entire group of 18 countries having such excess gives a grand total of only $414.845.000 in the latest obtainable year as against an excess of $544,542,- 131 in favor of the United States alone in the fiscal year 1900. Tired Eyes. Dr. Lofton says there is a popular no- tion that it is much more dangerous to tire the eyes by use than It is to tire any -other organ of the body. It is not necessarily injurious to the legs or the arms or the brain to becoriie tired, for proper re'st may restore all _these to their normal condition. The same is true in regard to the eyes. Proofread- ers, sewing women and mechancce Who use their eyes for a long time upon near objects 'dust of necessity weary the muscles that adjust the eye to vi- sion, but if the weariness is compen- sated for by rest at prpper intervals there will be no harm done to the elyets, for they are so constructed that 'they can bear maximum fatigue as well as other parts of the body. Education would cease, all mechanical work would soon have an end, if the eyes of school children and of certain kinds of workmen were never tired. Eyes are never overworked, even if they feel very tired when the task is done, if their natural power and freshness re- turn after the proper Intervale of rest during. the day and sleep at night.— Popular Science. The Tieket Carse Back. A recent number of The Railway Journal contains a well authenticated story of a railway ticket which took a sudden journey on its own account. As a north bound train on the Colora- do and Southern road passed one of the stations a passenger in a forward car raised a window, and in an instant his ticket was blown from his hands out of doors. The passenger naturally gave it up for lost and was very much surprised when the baggage master handed it to him a little while later. It appears that when the ticket Sew through the window a south bound train was passing. The suction of that train. which was moving at a rapid rate, drew the ticket along with,, and as it passed the rear end Of the north bound train It blew into the door of the smoking car. There It was found by the baggage master. Great Famines. The worst famines of modern times were the famine In Ireland in 1846-7, � In which 1,000,000 perished; the Indian famine of 1866, which claimed 1,450,000 victims; the Indian famine of 1877, In which 500,000 people perished, and the famine in China in 1878, in which 1 f ile00.000 died, rr. 1 CREAM $1 per vette 1n Advance. 82 per Year if not in Advance Baking Powder Greatest in leavening strength, a spoonful raises more dough, or goes further.

DO COWS CRY The Grief et an animal Whose Calf Red Been Killed. A correspondent writing lo Dumb Animals says: Dumb animals are said "sign" to have alanguageof their own by which they make known the emo- tions tions of pleasure or pain and a limited catalogue of wants and sorrows. Re- cently I had occasion to dispose of a 5 -months -old calf which was taken away about noon and butchered a short distance from my residence. When the cow came home.. at_ night, she missed her calf, and although an orphan calf was permitted to suck she continued to call it by affectionate mooing and looking..The cow, how- ever, only gave about one quart of milk instead of a gallon or more, as former- ly. During the night she lowed fre- quently for her calf, and the next morning when it did not appear she ex- hibited unmistakable signstof grief. The orphan calf was no solace to her. $he was driven to the woods with her mate. but came back and continued lowing until noon. She came inside the inclosure, but would not eat grass. Just after dinner a great commotion was heard in the direction of where the calf was butchered, made by a number of cattle lowing, having scented the fresh blood. The grief stricken mother cow ran to the closed gate and looks beseechingly toward me, as much as to say., --"Please open the gate," which being done she started on a run to where the other cattle were lowing. In a short time she came slowly walking back to the house and was again permitted to come inside the in - closure, when she deliberately took up a position at the kitehen door, wistful- ly looking In mute despair at each member of the family as they bappen- ed to pass her. The tears flowed copi- ously opi ously from her eyes, and there she stood the balance of the afternoon, weeping incessantly, with the same ap- parent grief that a mother would for her dead child. It really caused me to shed tears Of sympathy for the poor animal The Stool of Repentance. "Any infraction of the rules at 01- Hard college," says the Philadelphia Record, "Is punished. With 20 minutes on a stool of repentance. When the in- stitution first adopted this scheme of punishment, one stool was enough. As the college expanded the stools multi- plied, and today no less than 64 four legged, painless instruments of disci- pline are in more or less constant use in a room devoted exclusively to the punishment of those who have trans- gressed the rules. There is absolutely nothing to the disciplining except the order to sit on a comfortable stool for 20 minutes and 'think it over.' Any of the lads would sooner take a sound thrashing and have done with it, but the stool of repentance has proved it- self an ideal punishment, and it has ome to stay at Girard college." Could Take a Hint. It was late, but he still lingered. "I have been trying to think," the young woman remarked after a pause in the conversation, "of the motto of the state of Maine."

A lecture delivered by Dr. Victot Horsley in England on "The Action of Alcohol on the Brain" showed hour fibers connect all parts of the brain sc that it acts as a whole. It was desired to find out whether the brain as a whole works as well with alcohol as without. One way of testing this was by testing the reaction time, the length taken in perceiving a given signal. He tried a complex experiment, showing a signal with a number on it which was not to be signaled back unless it was above ten. This took longer, involving association of ideas, and the time from the very first was prolonged by alcohol. Professor Horsley said that chloro- form, ether, nitrous oxide and similar narcotics acted in the same way. Al' cohol preiduced a dissolution of the nerve centers. Kraepelin had tried the action of al- cohol on muscular power by means of the pressure dynamometer, which was squeezed at regular intervals. After a rest alcohol was taken, and at first there was a little increase, soon follow- ed by a notable decrease. Under the influence of tea there was no decrease at all. He showed a diagram con- structed by Dr. Aschaffenberg repre- senting the amount of type set up by certain compositors in a quarter of an hour before and after taking alcohol. The amount was made less by alcohol. —Argonaut. And Still She Wept. Toto was crying. "What's the mat- ter?" asked one of her father's friends. "I'ze lost my 2 cents!" she wailed. "Well, never mind.

FREAKS IN LUNCH ORDERS. Walter Calls Attention to the Imita- tive Habit Among Patrons, One of the amusing things to be no- ticed atthe lunch counters is the habit of imitation. If the man on the end studies the bill of fare and then or- ders a ham sandwich, pumpkin pie and a glass of milk, all his neighbors are likely to duplicate hife order, and soon there will be a whole row eating ex- actly the same things. Sometimes this similarity of appetite causes serious embarrassment. This is invariably the case if the occupants of the high chairs shift about the same time and the men on the end have numerous chances tc set examples for 20 or 30 patrons.

A TIP FROM A SHARK. THE REWARD THAT IT BROUGHT TO A PAIR OF SHARP MEN. How a Grateful R'oo1 Broker Be- came a Millionaire and an Intelli- gent Immigrant Became a Tavern Keeper—A Story of New South Wales. One of the most interesting spots In - Sydney is the point in the famous har- bor known as "Mrs: Macquarie's chair." It is the eastern point of the domain, and the great natural seat in the rock facing down the harbor is said to have been a favorite resting place et the Wife of Governor Macquarie, who represented the British government— also as governor general of Australia - 1n Sydney in the early days of the nine- teenth century. "Mrs. Macquarie's chair" has long been the favorite resort of suicides and sweethearts, and many murders have been *committed near the spot. , It was also the main resort of shark fishers in the days when a re- ward was given for each shark fin de- livered at the water police station, the object, of course, being to thin out the dread man eaters fromthe harbor, where they became plentiful and dan- gerous as the city, of Sydney grew in size. It was there one night that a broken down immigrant came to a strange turn in his fortunes. Not able to ob- tain employmeut, he spent his last shilling in a fishing line and shark hook and cast of from "Mrs. Macquarie's chair." After patiently. waiting for some time. another tramp joined him, and this changed the luck, for he im- mediately got a .fine "bite." It took the two all their time to • haul the shark ashore, but when they got him in he proved a beauty -25 feet 10 inches long. They cut off his fin -15 shillings' worth in the morning—and, being anx- ious to mak— all they could out of the haul, proceeded to "rob" the monster. They bad often read of diamond rings, gold watches and pocketfuls of sover- eigns being found inside sharks, for, while these fish can digest a man. they are not able to negotiate metal. Inside, among other things, theft sound the body of a German, and Prom hispocketbook it was ap- parent papers in - p parent that he must have been in Lon- don about three weeks before. Indeed, in his overcoat pocket there was a copy of a London newspaper dated 20 days previously. It was in 1870, before the cable was laid between Europe and Australia, and the steamships took over sir: webs on ter' vui age between London and Sydney. The paper con- tained news of the outbreak of the war between France and Germany, and it was apparent that the German, living in London, had been recalled home to serve in the army of the fatherland, had either jumped or fallen .overboard in the channel and had peen picked up by this great shark, whirl] belonged to the fastest of his species. In the morning the Immigrant had a good wash and brush up and a full feed on his 10 shillings, having given 5 to his companion and sent him about his business. He had conceived a great idea and wished to have as few confederates as possible. Asking a policeman who was the greatest wool broker in Sydney and getting the ad- dress, he went straight down to the of- fice, where his peculiarearnestness soon got him- au audience with the. busy broker. No one in Sydney at that mo- ment dreamed of war between France and Germany. and wool' was being sold merrily at ninepence a pound. "Well, my man, what can I do for you?" asked the broker. "I want you to tell me," said the poor immigrant, "what the price of wool would be in Sydney should war break out between France and Germany. It is ninepence now." "About 3 to 4 shillings," said the bro- ker. "Very well," replied the visitor. "Now, the French troops are marching on Berlin, and what promises to be a long and bloody war has actually be- gun." "Nonsense," said the broker. "The mail from London came. in yesterday, bringing news up to six weeks ago, there is no news of that wild sort." The immigrant thereupon unfolded the London paper, dated three weeks previously. There was no humbug over that. There could be no humbug about it, for such a paper could not be produced in Sydney, anli besides its matter gave abundant -proof of its gen- uineness. Wool was already 4 shillings a pound on the London market. On the Wool Exchange people thought that broker mad when they saw him buying up all_the wool on the market and wiring offers all over the colonies. He made a "corner," at any rate, pur- chased all the wool in Australia and looked happy. Sure enough, in a few weeks' time out came the news by the mail steamer, and up went prices. The broker sold out for 3 shillings and more a pound and realized some £4,000,000 on the deal. He gave the intelligent immigrant an old suit of clothes and a £5 note for his "tip," and this set the poor chap up in the world. He has got along so well through the lucky stroke that he is now keeping a public house in. Wool- loomooloo.—London Free Lance. • His Bnmp.

ANIMALS THAT WEEP. )Ian Not the Only Creature That Sheds Tears. The weeping "mock turtle" in "Alice In Wonderland" and the walrus in the same cls 'ic who held "his pocket handkerchief iefore his streaming eyes" are not wholly creatures of the imagination if we may believe M. Hen- ri Coupin, writing. in La Nature of Paris. He quotes numerous authori- ties to show that many animals shed real tears and for the same reasons that cause human beings to weep. He intimates also that there is a fruitful field for investigation along this and similar lines. Says M. Coupin: "Laughing is believed to be peculiar to mall, but the same is not true of weeping, which is a manifestation of emotion that is met with in divers an- imals. - "Among the creatures that weep most easily we may first mention the ruminants, with whom the act is so well known that it has given rise to a trivial but accurate expression, `to weep like a calf.' Among these ani- mals the facility of shedding tears is explained by the presence of a supple- mentary lachrymal apparatus. "All hunters know that the stag weeps, and we are also assured that the bear sheds tears when it sees its last hour approaching. The giraffe is not less sensitive, as might be expected' err so gentle a creature, and regards with tearful eyes the hunter who has wounded it. "1f we are to credit Gordon Cum-_ ming, the eland (African antelope) acts in the same way. He says of one of these animals that he had pursued for a long time: 'Flecks of foam flew from its mouth. Abundant sweat had given its gray skin an ashy blue tint. Tears fell from its great black eyes, and it was evident that the eland felt that its last hour had come.' "Dogs weep quite easily. If their master goes away, for instance, leav- ing them tied, they bark, with tears both in their eyes and in their voices. The same is true of certain monkeys. The Cetus azaras weeps when its wish- es are opposed or when it is frightened, and the eyes of the Callithrix sciureus fill at once with tears when it is seized with terror. "The aquatic mammals, too, are able to Weep. Thus .all authors agree in saying that dolphins at the moment of death draw deep sighs and shed tears abundantly. A young female seal has also been seen to weep when teased by a sailor. St. Hilaire and Cuvier assure us that on the authority of the Malays when a young dungong is captured the mother is sure to be taken also. The little ones then cry out and shed tears. These tears are collected with care and preserved as a charm that is certain to make a lover's affection lasting. "As for the elephant, ehere is abun- dant evidence of the ease with which it weeps., Sparrman assures us that it sheds tears when wounded or when it sees that it cannot escape. Its tears"' roll from its eyes like those of a human being in affliction.- Tennent, speaking of captured elephants, says that 'some remain quiet, lying on the ground with- out manifesting their grief otherwise than by the tears that bathe their eyes and run constantly down.' "Such are the principal animals that have been reported as shedding tears. Doubtless they will become more nu- merous when we have taken the trou- ble to observe the same phenomena in other.species. I advise those who wish to give attention to the matter to note carefully the circumstances in which the tears bare manifested themselves. From the examples given above it will be seen that tears have about the same emotional significance in animals as in man, but to establish the certainty of this we should have many more In- stances." _ Old Maas "Bank Notes." Speaking of the curious Manx bank- ing lore of tale past, the Liverpool Post says that a singular state of affairs was exhibited in "the Islami at the close of the Napoleonic wars. Trade was brisk, money was more freely ad- ventured, and all sorts of private per- sons began to issue notes. There was no occasion whatever to have sterling against them. All you had to do was to get some one to take them and pass them on. The fashion grew till even the humbler traders issued card "prom- ises to pay," the values most in circu- lation being 5s., 2s. 6d., ls. and even sixpence. Once a young advocate from Castle - `town went to Peel to collect a judg- ment of £350 from the coroner of Glen- faba. This wortby paid him with 2,704 card notes, many of them worthless. They took several hours to examine and count, and their transport was an item of extreme difficulty. Finally they were put into a big sack, half shaken to one end and half to the oth- er, and the whole slung over the back of a horse. The lather -of the horse, soaking through, spoiled nearly half the cards! "Eztreme.

The democratic state committee has decided not to contest the elec- tion of Gov. S R. Van Sant, just as expected. It was only a big bluff, to let them down easy with the betting element that lost heavily backing their padded after election figures. No one really believes that a recount would change the general result a hundred votes, the gains and losses practically offsetting each other, while the expense would be over $40,000 at a very conservative estimate. The St. Paul Dispatch is knifing M. B. Clapp in the back in a manner that must doubtless be highly pleas- ing to the Minneapolis contingent. It's a bad break, to say the least. There is no other man in the twin cities with so many warm personal friends throughout the state, and if Gen. Clapp is not elected the succes- sor to Senator Davis will not hail from St. P49.11. Possibly this result is precisely what The Dispatch is aiming at. The receipts of the land office at Duluth for the year ending June 30th are given at $176,103, exceeding those of any other office in the United States. It is an indication of the rapid ]Danner in which Northern Minnesota is being filled up by settlers. The Northfield News issued a hand- some souvenir supplement this week to celebrate its quarter centennial. The sheriff of Goodhue County must be getting lonesome with not an inmate in jail. The lumber damps are being broken up iu Eastern .Minnesota by small pox. In the list of those mentioned is succeed C. K. Davis in the United States senate, the same of M. E. Clapp stands prominent. Gen. Clapp's rare attainments. large ex- perience in public affairs, his popu- larity and many exceptional qualifi- cations make his selection in all re- spects desirable. Every interest, public and political, would be advanc- ed by his preferment, for be is not only a man of marked ability and recognized integrity, but he is imbued with that spirit of lofty patriotism which, when combined with other dis- • tinguished traits, are the essential at- tributes of that type of statesman- ship which made our senior senator to illustrious. Next to C. K. Davis, M. E. Clapp has for years stood high- est in the esteem and confidence of the general public. -Morris Sun. John Lorence, of Rich Talley, bor- ed a new well on his farm last 'week, completing it Saturday evening. After the curbing was put in a roar- ing sound was heard in the well, and i%Ir. Lorence's sons started to lower a lantern to see how high the water was rising, thinking the noise was caused by a large vein. Just as they started to lower it into the web a terrific ex- plosion took place which burned the face and hands of the boy Joe, who was holding the lantern, quite severe- ly and frightened him worse. The well, which was sixty feet deep, had evidently filled with gas which was ignited by the light. -Silver Lake cor. Hutchinson Leader. Judge Baaille gave a hearing on the claim of Sarah 13. Small in the es- tate of J. H. Southwick. The latter was the eccentric old recluse who died some months ago. An examina- tion of Southwick's effects by the court disclosed cash to the amount of about $15,000. Mrs. Small puts in a claim for $2,523. She says that Southwick during his life boarded at her home in Prescott, and that she took care of him during his illness. Mrs. Small is over seventy years of age. -St. Paul Dispatch. Wednesday afternoon the gentle- man in charge of the estate of the late Christian Young found $1,024.25 in notes and money, chiefly the latter, which Mr. Young had concealed for safe keeping in the wood pile. Shortly before his death the deceased had informed his friends that he had a considerable sum of money, but would not tell where it was until cer- tain he was going to die. As it was death took him before he expected, _ hence the search which resulted as above stated. -Prescott Tribune, 21st. There are numerous candidates in the field, all of whom may have claims for preferment, but The Poker believes that it voices the sentiment of the leading republicans throughout the entire northern portion of the state, when it claims there in none better fitted for the honorable posi- tion, both by education, training, and his general knowledge of affairs, than the Hon. M. E. Clapp, who is too well known to need further laudation at our hands. -Pine County Poker. Notwithstanding the reports that have been circulated to the oontrary, M. E. Clapp was unanimously en- dorsed to succeed the late Senator Davis at a meeting of the Ramsey County legislative delegation, held on Tuesday. Mr. Clapp has many friends throughout the state who are now working for him, and it will be no surprise if he carries off the plum. -Henderson Independent.

It was concluded to beginJan.6th, at half past ten a.m., with a union Sunday school immedi- ately after the morning service. It is hoped that he will have the hearty eo-operation of the people in this good work. School closed here on Friday for a week's vacation, and the following evening the children were entertained by their teacher, Miss Eda McGuire, assisted by Mrs. Joseph Bloom and Miss Minnie Benson. They were driven to the home of Miss Benson, where games were placed, refresh- ments served, and a fine musical pro- gramme rendered. Every one was made happy. The pupils presented their teacher with a handsome pres- ent as a token of the esteem in which she is held. Important developments in the senatorial contest may be looked far the coming week, it being understood that the Washington delegation will have had time to have looked the situation over and express a choice.

The Telephone Business. from We understand that the city attorney attacked the telephone gave company before the council last Mon- day evening, and threatened to s at make trouble for the company if they did not make connections with the pend Northwestern Telephone Company's toll lines without charge. This posi- e kt tion clearly shows that he is laboring under a misapprehension of the facts Mrs. and conditions as they exist, and we think when he understands the posi- nter- tion of the company he will aeknowl- y. edge his mistake. It must be clear to in- every one that the Hastings Tele - rank phone Company cannot afford to aet as agent for the Northwestern Tele - 1 at phone Company for nothing, and it it and were possible to force them to give up their compensation they world ave certainly quit performing the work, in which involves more than one not ary. conversant with the matter might lied think. In the first place it requires one her extra girl at the switch board, and end "would require a bookkeeper. and col- lector if the owners did not do this om work themselves at night, often work- en- ing until ilmidnight to keep up the red work, besides this they furnish rent, heat, light, batteries, and power for rs. the Northwestern Company's business by and guarantee eighty per cent of ter their collections. Previous to the ing appointment of the Hastings Tele- la- phone Company as agents Mr. F. W. of Finch was their agent and received exactly the same compensation for an inferior service, inasmuch as patrons he were obliged to go to his store, where- as now they can talk direct from od- their own telephones, besides this ri- Mr. Finch was earning the messenger fee of ten cents per message which ay amounts to about twenty dollars per th month on the local company's phone, he for which he paid two dollars per month. As long as it was done in hn this way Mr. Schaller seems to have at been satisfied, but as soon as he be- eir gins to get a superior service, he thinks it time to kick, and now de - vie mantis that the local company help ra the poor Northwestern Company h by giving them our services and the ay Ilse of our lines and instruments free of charge for their tolLbusiness.. As r- a matter of fact it makes no difference n 0, the local company whether the w- Northwestern Company collects fifteen s; or twenty-five cents from its patrons who talk to Hastings, as it is under contract to pay the Iocal company ten cents for every call that is sent here. THE HASTINGS TELEPHONE CO. Belated News. ,"Who's elected, I'd just like to have you answer that," nervously* inquired the settler's wife as she ad witted the cruiser to her cabiu home in Northern Minnesota. Six weeks ago her question would have not been air unusual one, but when it was sprung on B. F. Carr, cruiser for C. P. McClure on Dec. 15th it rather staggered him. Of course the paral lelism with the mountainers of Ten nessee who are said to be still voting for Andrew Jackson for president sug- gests umgests itself, but whereas the Minne- sota incident is fact the latter is romance. "There, didn't I tell you," triumphantly declared the woman as she nodded in the direction of her husband, who sat in one corner of• the room and had apparently come out of a lethargy that might easily have enveloped him for centuries. "I told you McKinley would win, and I am glad he did win. The republi- can party has always been the party of the pioneer and the settler, and but for that party I'd like to know what we homesteaders would do for the homestead law." Mr. Carr, after giving some information regarding the recent election, inquired if it were really true that they had not learned of its result. It was only too true, for the settler and his wife -who it must be added live on the Big Fork River sixty miles north of Grand Rapids -had not had a letter or a paper from the outside world, or seen a man who knew anything of the great world beyond their own domin- ion for exactly four months. Mr. Cart came down yesterday, reported to Mr. McClure, and went in the evening to his home at Sauk Centre to spend Christmas with his family. - St. Cloud Journal -Press, 24th. Asylum Notes, Dr. D. C.

Knox house in Cannon Falls vil- lage, there bubbles forth from the ground a spring of the purest water. For many years it has been a source of water supply to many, its cool, grateful liquid at all times refreshing the thirsty be he man or beast. Yet there was a time when that spring was studiously avoided, in the old days of Indian domination. No red man dared quench bis thirst there, for to these people the water was minne- wankan secha (evil spirit water). In those days the spring was sur- rounded by a small grove of hard maple trees, fifteen in number -a mystical number with the Indians - and so great was their dread and fear of the water of that spring that if any one had presented to an Indian a cup of that water and a dose of prussic acid, he, knowing the full na- ture of the deadly drug, would from choice have taken the drug; because, according to their mythology, a sui- cide after a probation of a few hun- dred years (or a thousand to two at most) will be admitted to the happy hunting grounds; but if he drank of that water his punishment would be everlasting. The Indians said that the evil one had planted those fifteen Sha-chahampas (sugar maples) that by the sweets of them the unwary might be allured and tempted to drink from the spring, and, as the water from the spring sinks into the ground a few rode from its fountain and does not again appear, so will the evil one take the souls of those who drink there- from into eternal oblivion. Conse- quently the Indians feared and shunned the spring. Red Wing Republican. Ileal Estate Transfers.

A MUTUAL -SURPRISE--; - The Meeting Between an Ambitious Rueter and His First Grisly, lin "Sketches of Life In the Golden State' Colonel Albert S. Evans tells an amusing anecdote of an amMtious hunter who met his first grizzly bear - in procession. The incident occurred in the hoods near the site of the pres- ent toani of Monterey. The hunter sat down to rest in the 'bade of a tree and unwittingly wept to sleep. When he woke, it was near sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes and contemplating a return to his hotel several miles distant. Just then a rustling and cracking noise from a clump of chaparral about 100 yards away attracted his attention. Out walked a grizzly bear, a monarch of kis kind. He yawned, licked his jaws and then advanced toward the tree where our hunter sat, but evident- ly was unconscious of his presence. His grizzly majesty had proceeded about 20 paces when a female bear fol- lowed him, and an instant later a third grizzly followed her at a slow, sham- bling pace. The hunter sat spellbound with ter- ror as the procession came toward him until the forward grizzly was within 80 yards. Then, scarcely realizing what he did, he sprang to his feet and uttered a frenzied yell -yell upon yell! The effect was magical. The fore- most bear sprang into the air, turned sharply about, knocked -the female down, rolled over her, gathered himself up and bolted "like 40 cartloads of rock going down a shoot," straight for the chaparral again, the other two bears close at his heels and never turn- ing to see what had frightened them. The hunter, seeing the enemy re- treating, sprang to his feet and fled at top speed for the hotel, leaving hat and gun behind. The truth of his wild and startling tale was proved the next day by the numerous bear tracks of differ- ent sizes found in the marshy ground near by. Butthe three bears had gone off beyond pursuit. SINKING SHIPS. They Don't Lugger In Midoeean, but Go to the Bottom. What becomes of the ships that sink at sea? Do they go all the way to the bottom or do they meet somewhere un- der the surface a certain pressure that buoys them up and holds them in equi- librium? Somebody, we forget who it is, has given rein to his grewsome fan- cy and pictured all the ships that have been lost in midocean as wantlering about like so many ghosts half way be- tween the surface and the bottom. There is no foundation whatever for such a notion, though many persons have it. Any object that will sink be- neath the surflace of the sea will go all the way to the bottom. The pressure encountered on the way down, which is simply enormous in the deeper parts, has nothing to do with the object's sinking, for it is exerted on the object as well as on the water, thus equalizing the conditions. The reason whythe object sinks to the bottom is that water is not compressi- ble; at least it is so little so that its den- sity at the bottom of the sea is only atri- flo greater than it is at the surface. Sci- entists tell us that the water at the bot- tom is just about as much denser than the water at the surface as sea water isrdenser than fresh water. This slight difference in density, therefore, does not and cannot stop the downward course of a sinking ship or any object that is heavy enough to sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pres- sure, as we have said, is not a factor In the case at all. -Chicago Record. A Bone "Library.' There le a lending library of human bones in London. It is intended for the use of medical students, and the bones are lent out in exactly the same man- ner as books from a circulating library. The entire collection is valued at 15,000 and contains besides human bones the skeletons of horses, dogs, cats, oxen and sheep -all animals that the veter- inary surgeon is likely to be called up- on to treat. The present market price of a human skeleton is from £6 to £20, according to its condition. A skull may be worth anything from 58. to £1. For a payment of 6d. a student can borrow any part of the skeleton that he desires to study and may retain it for one week. A. complete skeleton can be bor- rowed from the library for the sum of 15a. down and a deposit of £5. -London Answers. Her Proposals. Talking of the Baroness Burdett - Coutts Lord Houghton said: "Miss Coutts likes me because I never propos- ed to her. Almost all the young men of good family did. Those who did their duty by their family always did. Mrs. Browne (Miss Coutts' companion) used to see it coming and took herself out of the way for ten minutes, but she only went into the next room and left the door open, and then the proposal took place, and immediately it was done Mise Coutts coughed, and Mrs. Browne came in again." -Augustus J. C. Hare's Recollections. Architectural Oddities, At Frankfort -on -the -Main there is one street In which two houses on op- posite sides of the street lean over so far that their roofs meet over the street. In one of these houses Lord Rothschild was born. In Paris, on the other hand, it is noticeable that the builders intentionally construct the houses so that they lean backward slightly to add to their stability. But .almost in the center of Paris there is one big stone building which leans out fully 3% feet over the sidewalk. So solid, however, are the Paris buildings that this one is claimed to be safe.- Pearson's Weekly. As Invention Probaaty a.oR. John G.

Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings) Three per cent is about all the savings hanks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good knoperty in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you now the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the' general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and. in some cases, as low as four per cent. and it is the opinion of the best financiers that.. within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to he depended upon. however, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 810,000 on city property. because it requires Just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for 8200 as one for 850.00. Therefore, for a titne at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from 82011 to 63.000 on prop- erty which Is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than 810,000) and I have many applications for loans of from 8300 to 85,000 on prune secuaity. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doi ng business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

O ••O «O O ••O+ O+O ••O «O+O !This story was the beginning of the literary career of its author and was the first break in the prevalence of a school of fiction in which there was more finish than fidelity to nature. It is one of the great short stories of the world.] The situation was novel. Deaths were by no means uncommon in Roar- ing Camp, but a birth was a new thing. I>eople had been dismissed from the camp effectively, finally and with no possibility of return, but this was the first time that anybody had been in- troduced ab initio. Hence the excite- ment. The assemblage numbered about a hundred men. One or two of these were actual fugitives from justice, some were criminal, and all were reck- less. Physically they exhibited no in- dication of their past lives and charac- ter. The greatest scamp had a Raph- ael face, with a profusion of blond hair. Oakhurst, a gambler, had the melancholy air and intellectual ab- straction of a Hamlet. The coolest and most courageous man was scarcely over five feet in height, with a soft voice and an embarrassed, timid man- ner. The term "roughs" applied to them was a distinction rather than a definition. Perhaps in the minor detail of fingers, toes, ears, etc., the camp may have been deficient, but these slight omissions did not detract from their aggregate force. The strongest man had but three fingers on his right hand; the best shot had but one eye. A tire of withered pine boughs added sociability to the ,gathering. By de- grees the natural levity of Roaring Camp returned. Bets were freely of- fered and taken regarding the result. Three to tire that "Sal would get through with it:" even that the child would survive; side bets as to the sex and complexion of the coming stranger. In the midst of an excited discussion an exclamation came from those near- est the door, and the camp stopped to listen. Above the swaying and moan- ing of the pines, the swift rush of the river and the crackling of the fire rose a sharp, querulous cry, a ery unlike anything heard before in the camp. The pines stopped moaning, the river ceas- ed to rush and the fire to crackle. It seemed as if nature had stopped to lis- ten too. The camp rose to its feet as one man. It was proposed to explode a barrel of gunpowder, but in consideration of the situation of the mother better coun- sels prevailed, and only a few revolv- ers were discharged, for whether ow- ing to the rude surgery of the camp or some other reason Cherokee Sal was sinking fast. Within an hour she had climbed, as it were, that rugged road that ied to the stars and so passed out of Roaring Camp, its sin and shame, forever. I do not think that the an- nouncement disturbed them much ex- cept in speculation as to the fate of the child. "Can he live now?" was asked of Stumpy. The answer was doubtful. The only other being of Cherokee Sal's sex and maternal condition in the set- tlement was an ass. There was some conjecture as to fitness, but the experi- ment was tried. It was less problemat- ical than the ancient treatment of Romulus and Remus and apparently as successful. The next day Cherokee Sal had such rude sepulture as Roaring Camp af- forded. After her body had been com- mitted to the hillside there was a for- mal meeting of the camp to discuss what should be done with her infant. A resolution to adopt it was unanimous and enthusiastic. But an animated discussion in regard to the manner and feasibility of providing for its wants at once sprang up. It was remarkable that the argument partook of none of those fierce personalities with which discussions were usually conducted at Roaring Camp. Tipton proposed that they should send the child to Red Dog, a distance of 40 miles, where female at- tention could be procured. But the un- lucky suggestion met with fierce and unanimous opposition. It was evident that no plan which entailed parting from their new acquisition would for a moment be entertained. "Besides," said Tom Ryder, "them feflows at Red Dog would swap it and ring in some- body else on us." A disbelief in the honesty of other camps prevailed at Roaring Camp, as in other places. The introduction of a female nurse in the camp also met with objection. It was argued that no decent woman could be prevailed to accept Roaring :Imp as her home, and the speakers urged that "they didn't want any more of the other kind." This unkind allu- sion to the defunct mother, harsh as it may seem, was the first spasm of pro- priety, the first symptom of the camp's regeneration. Stumpy advanced noth- ing. Perhaps ht 4 it a certain delicacy in interfering with the selection of a possible successor in office. But whets questioned be averred stoutly that hg and "Jinny"-the mammal before al- luded to -could manage to rear the child. There was something original, independent and heroic about the plan that pleased the camp. Stumpy was retained. Certain articles were sent for to Sacramento. "Mind," said the treasurer as he 'pressed a bag of gold dust into the expressman's hand, "the best that can be got -lace, you know, and filigree work and frills. D- the cost!" Strange to say, the child thrived. Perhaps the invigorating climate of the mountain camp was compensation for maternal deficiencies. Nature_tookthe foundling to her broader breast. In that rare atmosphere of the Sierra foot- hills, that air pungent with balsamic odor, that ethereal cordial at once bracing and exhilarating, he may have found food and nourishment or a subtle chemistry that transmuted ass' milk to Hale and phosphorus. Stumpy incl to the belief that it was the latter good nursing. "Me and that ass. fined and " he would say, "has been father and m er to him. Don't you," he would apostrophizing the helpless bundle fore him, "never go back on us." By the time he was a month old necessity of giving him a name bec apparent. He had generally known as "The Kid," "Stump§'s B "The Coyote" (an allusion to his v powers) and even by Kentuck's end ing diminutive of "the - little cu But these were felt to be vague and satisfactory and were at last dismi under another influence. Gamblers adventurers are generally supe tious, and Oakhurst one day decl that the baby had brought "the lu to Roaring Camp. It was certain t of late they had been success "Luck" was the name agreed u with the prefix of Tommy for gre convenience. No allusion was mad the mother, and the father was known. "It's better," said the ph sophical Oakhurst, "to take a f deal all round. Call him Luck start him fair." And so the work of regeneration gan in Roaring Camp. Almost imp ceptibly a change came over the set meta. The cabin assigned to "Tom Luck," or "The Luck," as he was m frequently called, first showed signs improvement. It was kept scrupulo ly clean and whitewashed. Then was boarded, clothed and papered. T rosewood cradle, packed 80 miles mules, had, in Stumpy's way of putti it, "sorter killed the rest of the fur ture." So the rehabilitation of the c in became a necessity. The men w were in the habit of lounging in Stumpy's to see "how The Luck g on" seemed to appreciate the chan and in self defense the rival establis ment of "Tuttle's grocery" bestirred self and imported a carpet and mirro The reflections of the latter on the a pcarance of Roaring Camp tended produce stricter habits of person cleanliness. Stumpy imposed a ki of quarantine upon those who aspir to the honor and privilege of holdil The Luck. It was a cruel mortification to Ke tuck, who in carelessness of a lar nature and the 'habits of frontier li had begun to regard all garments as second cuticle which, like a snake' only sloughed off through decay, to debarred this privilege from certai prudential reasons. Yet such wo,s tl ubtle influence of innovation that 1 hereafter appeared regularly ever fternoon in a clean shirt and face sti hiving from his ablutions.

Profanity cv acitly given up in these sacred pr incts, and throughout the camp a pop lar form of expletive known as "D he luck!" and "Curse the luck!" wa bandoned as having a new persona easing.

Having said, however, that courtesy ing does not require the removal of a man's hat under the circumstances recounted, we do mit mean to disparage in the slightest degree the chivalrous intent of the man who does remove his head covering. If you feel that you ought to take off your hat in an elevator, do so. If you are uncomfortable with it on, get it off at once. These things are largely matters of comfort. In New York men keep their hats on with a persistence that is somewhat shocking to the southerner. If the man in Gotham has any doubt about whether 11e should have his hat in his hand or on his head, you will not find it in his hand. He takes as much rope as the law will give him. On the contrary, it has not been very long since it was •the proper thing in Charleston for a gentleman to stand with his head uncovered during all the time he was conversing with a lady even if he met her in the street, and there may be, for all we know, hun- dreds of stately South Carolinians who observe that pretty but unhygienic cus- tom to this very day.

Such was the golden summer Roaring Camp.

With the prosperity of the cam came a desire for further improvemen It was proposed to build a hotel in th following spring and to invite one o two decent families to reside there fo the sake of The Luck, who migh perhaps profit by female companion ship. The sacrifice that this concessio to the sex cost these men, who wer fiercely skeptical in regard to its goner al virtue and usefulness, can oily b accounted for by their affection fo Tommy. A few still held out. But til resolve could not be carried into effec for three months, and the minorit, meekly yielded in the hope that some thing might turn up to prevent it. An it did. The winter of 1831 will long be re membered in the foothills. The snow lay deep on the Sierras, find ever mountain creek became a river and ev ery river a lake. Each gorge and gulch was transformed into a tumultuous watercourse that descended the hill- sides, tearing down giant trees and scattering its drift and debris along the plain. Iced Dog had been twice under water, and Roaring Camp had been forewarned. "Water put the gold into them gulches." said - Stutnpy. "It's been here once and will he here again." And that night the North [Work sudden- ly leaped over its bank and swept up the triangular valley of Roaring Camp. In the confusion of rushing water, crashing trees and crackling timber and the darkness which seemed to flow with the water and blot out the fair valley but little could be done to collect the scattered camp. when the morn- ing broke. the cabin of Stumpy, near- est the river bank, was gone. Higher up the gulch they found the body of its unlucky owner, but the pride. the hope, the joy, The Luck, of Roaring Camp had disappeared. They were returning with sad hearts when a shout from the bank recalled them. It was a relief boat from down the river. They had picked up, they said, a man and an infant, nearly exhausted, about two miles below. Did anybody know them, and did they belong there? 1t needed but a glance to show them Kentuck lying there, cruelly crttshed and bruised, but still holding The Luck of Roaring Camp in his arms. As they bent over the strangely assorted pair they saw that the child was cold and pulseless. "He is dead," said one. Kentuck opened bis eyes. "Dead!" he repeated feebly. "Yes, my man, and you are dying too." A smile lit the eyes of the expiring Kentuck. "Dy - in!" he repeated. "He's a-takin me with him. Tell the boys I've got The Luck with me now." And the strong man, clinging to the frail babe as a drowning man is said to cling to a straw, drifted away into the shadowy river that flows forever to the unknown sea. th Id Ie re 3' es d s, p t. e r n e e r e v d v 3' a h b 11 h m w c u a b d in tr E of w d th se fr of di ro SO co at er ti un tw dri An to ne on hi 0 wa wh Ca spr wh dit rad wit shr bri sue sour sud the the tro A 1 of fro bea etre asid how hill To sac had my sere inf tem Tired of Betas la Print.

Went Around the Spot. Before Bismarck reconstructed the map of Europe and made a united Germany a dozen little principalities used to annoy travelers by stopping them at their frontiers until they had satisfied the custom house demands. A Y stiee once had his carriage stop- ped at the frontier of a petty prince's country. The Herr Ober (controleur at the custom house) came forward and, much to his indignation, was received in a nonchalant way. The Yankee was ungentlemanly enough not to get out of his carriage or even to take off his hat. The Herr Ober sharply demand- ed the key of the tourist's trunks, which his subordinate began handling roughly. "Here! Elands off!" shouted the Yankee.

It was a man who opened the door when the book agent rang the bell, but a woman stood not far behind him, and subsequent developments indicated there had been a few warm words. "I would like to talk to the lady of the house for a few minutes," said the book agent. "Oh, that Is utterly impossible," re- plied the man pleasantly. "You may see her if you wish, but you can't talk to her for a few minutes -that is, in sac cession -unless" -as a happy thought seemed to strike him, -"you both talk at once." -Chicago News.

The Chinese have a curiously cheer- ful way of disposing of their lepers. The relatives of the afflicted person I propose to him that they bury him alive, and, such is the fatalism of the Chinese, that the victim readily con- sents. An extra elaborate meal is served to him in the way of a farewell banquet, and then the funeral proces- sion forms. The man who is about to be immured under the scol follows his own coffin, and when he reaches the grave he takes a dose of laudanum, hops into the box and settles down for eternity. Dr. Wittenberg, writing on the sub- ject of leprosy in China, states that the pure nerve form is the least common. In such cases, as is well known, the pa- tients may go on for years. As to the mixed form, it is fairly common, but it is a difficult matter to estimate the number orlepers in any given district The sufferers lead the common life so long as they retrain free from destruc- tive lesions. When these occur to any marked degree, the leper is either seg- regated In a hut or he is allowed to wander about the country, sustaining life by begging. Dr. Wittenberg re- cords cases of direct contagion from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law. King Humbert's Pine Trees. King Humbert took great pride in his pine grove and one day, arriving unex- pectedly, found a forester preparing to cut down a tree. "What are you about?" asked the king.

The hint was enough and the tree left unmolested. -London Telegraph. A Russell Anecdote. Lord Russell once presided at a din- ner given for Sir Henry Irving on his return from Amerlea.

Investigations covering 18 years, ac- cording to its inventor, James M. Ev- ans of Chicago, have solved the prob- lem of the rotary engine. If the tests already made stand, the. new engine will revolt' wise the use of steam. This engine, it is asserted, weighs one- tenth as much as any other form oi engine producing equal power. It oc- cupies small space, and the inventor says it can be manufactured and in- stalled at. 10 per cent of the cost of old type engines. Hiram Baldwin and others are asso- ciated with the inventor In forming a company for -Nadu); the new engine on the market. In this company Mr. Evans will hold a controlling interest. Tests of the sew engine, described • by the Chicago Record, were made re- ceutly in that city. The 100 liorsepo...,- er eugine is 22 by 22 by 16 inches, and its weight is 1,000 pounds. Steam is supplied to the cylinder through a two inch pipe leading from the boiler. The engine is bolted to . two oak planks. which form its only foundation. From a dead standstill when con- uected with a 44 kilowatt shunt wound dynamo. by a 14 inch rubber belt the .engene was started with a registered steam pressure of less than five pounds. In less than 20seconds the engine was NEW ROTARY ENGINE. running -400 revolutions to the minute, prOducing a• dynamo speed. of 1,150 revolutions per minute and carrying 30. arc lights at •full voltage. The are lights showed not the slightest flicker, proving that the engine was running without fluctuations. This result was gained with a registered ste-am pres- sure of 53 pounds. The working of the engine was_ alatoSt noiseless, and - the vibration was not •perceptible. Since last may, when the engine was installed, it has been submitted to rigid tests by mechanical experts, and the opinion prevails that it is a practical engine. A. K. Adler, consulting engi- neer, New York and Chicago; Chaun- cey G. Hellick, with the Chicago Tele- phonompany; George Thorpe, super- latenent of the Federal Steel. com- pany, and many other experts have passed favorable judgment on it. Their tests have shown that the engine has a speed ranging from 20 to 1,000 revolu- tions per minute, subject to regulation so that a 100 horsepower engine can run a sewing machtne or carry a .load to its capacirs. Mechanism in this engine has been reduced to a minimum. There are no gears, springs. screws or bolts to be- come broken or loosened. _ Tests, it is said, show that the starting power Is [our flutes as great as the power used when miming at full speed.

Hall Cloud Experiments. The Austrian ministry of agriculture has recently caused a series of experi- ments to be made with a view to test- ing the efficiency of the Stiger appara- tus for dispersing hail clouds by gun firing. A mortar with a long funnel at- tached to the modth was used, and when a sufficient charge of powder was fired rings or whirls were produced in the air. It was observed that *these t'ings, which vrsry with the charge and the size of the funnel, did not reach a greater height than 400 meters, though it is said that this heitht has been ex- ceeded in previous tests. From this it must follow that unless the hail clouds are very low no practical result can be obtained. In some cases the formation of hail might be prevented, but in oth- ers the hail follows in spite of rep, • 1 firings, so that it was not possible to make a conclusive report in favor of the system.—New York Evening Poets Winning Success. The brilliant author, -critic and writ- er, Charles Dudley Warner, felt deeply interested in the literature which helps. Probably the last work of his pen was the following answeP-to the question: 'The most successful man—who is be?" "A man who has made the most of his opportunities and who in addi- tion has cultivated every faculty with which he is endowed has won success. It is the duty of every one to make the greatest possible progress and to be- come 4 perfectly developed as ability permits. I am afraid there are few men who can say that they have made the most of their talents." I. Is the Greatest Insurance Agency lo the World. "Most of the members of Lloyd's car- ry on business as brokers or under- writers on their own responsibility," says a writer in Ainslee's Magazine. "As a corporation Lloyd's assumes no financial liability for the failure of any of its members or sunscribers. But it admits to ussmbership only men of reputation and means, who must de- posit a pecuniary guarantee In order to become an underwriting and nonunder- writing member, an annual subscriber or an associate. An underwriting member must deposit with the com- mittee of Lloyd's £5,000 or £6.000, on which he receives interest and which may be returned to him three years aft- er he ceases to be an underwriting member. He pays an entrance fee of £4,000 and an annual subscription of 20 guineas. An annual subscriber pays no entrance fee, but an annual sub- scription of 7 guineas. An associate member pays 5 guineas. "There were in 1771 only 79 sub- scribers to Lloyd's. There are now nearly 1,000. The subscribers in the olden time. as now. did not confine themselves to marine insurance. They were willing to take a risk on almost anything. There is still preserved at Lloyd's a policy on the life of Napo- leon Bonaparte for one month at a premium of 3 guineas per cent. Bank deposits are insured in Lloyd's, also race horses and the lives of threatened monarchs. An odd case was the cov- ering of a risk on a glass bed packed In 20 cases for a certain sultan. Lloyd's Insured the Prince of Wales jubilee stamps, guaranteeing that the issue would be successful. The voice of a prima donna has been insured. A tradesman in a London street who has an impression that a monument may fall ou his shop has taken outa policy at the nominal premium of 2s. 6d. per cent. Gate money for cricket and foot- ball matches: animals of all sorts ashore and afloat are subjects for in- surance. Policies ars'ainst twins is a favorite form of insurance. "A well known underwriter is said to be always ready to lay a thousand to one against twins. Lloyd's issues, in- surance against burglary.

A celebrated singer -took out ar issorance-in LJtyd's on the life of Queen Victoria. She paid a big premium on account of the age of the queen. The reason the sing- er did thisowas not because she cared anything more than most folks for the queen, but because her contract to sing would have been abrogated by the queen's death, which would have plunged England into mourning and prevented the singer's appearance.- in opera. "The committee of Lloyd's has a standing advertisement In Lloyd's Weekly Shipping Index requesting all captains who may call at British ports to `communicate any information con- cerning any wreck or vessel in distress or making a -long passage to Lloyd's agent at the first port of call. The val- ue of such intelligence is great, and it may be sufficient to remind captains how often such news may be the means of conveying to the wives and families of officers and crews the as- surance of the safety of their husbands or fathers.' "At an office on the ground floor of the Royal Exchange Lloyd's answers, free of charge, all sorts of inquiries from the wives, other relatives or the sweethearts of sailors anxious about the cruise of poor Jack or desirous of finding out where his ship may be. There Is a list kept by which the whereabouts of any British vessel may be found in a twinkling. An inapor- taut book Is the 'Captain's Register,' containing the biography of more than 30,000 commanders In the merchant service of Great Britain. Another vol- ume not high in favor with the under- writer:3(1s called the 'black book,' in which missing and wrecked ships are recorded. Lloyd's publishes what is practically a list of all the merchant vessels of the world measuring 100 tons or more. It is called 'Lloyd's Reg- ister of British and Foreign Shipping, and it tells all about every seagoing craft worth mentioning, giving her ton- nage, dimensions and the name of her captain -and owner." English the Greatest Tea Drinkers. And whither go the millions of pounds of tea which are grown in the gardens of the east? The answer is lather surprising. Most people would say that Russia is the greatest tea drinking nation of the world and re- gard the samovar as the palladium. But it is Great Britain which is su- preme at the tea table. Even 20 years ago we consumed on an average five pounds of tea apiece every year. Now we dispose of nearly six pounds. No other country approaches us in this re- spect, for there is no European country but Holland in which more than ohe pound per head is consumed. After this it is not surprising to learn that the colonies surpass their mother coun- try and that Australia drinks more than 7', pounds per head of its popula- tion. To put the case in a nutshell, the United Kingdom drinks more tea than all the other European countries and the United States put together.—Lon- don Chronicle.

The Temple of Zeus. All that remains of the great temple of Zeus, which was 700 years in build- ing. Is to. be found about 150 yards -from the foot of the Acropolis at Ath- ens. The ruins consist of 16 columns of the Corinthian order 6SS feet in di- ameter and 60 feet high. It was the sOrond largest temple erected by the Greeks. one superior to it in size being the temple of Diana at Ephesus. Ac- cording to a legend, its foundation was built by Dukalion, the Greek Noah, who from this point witnessed the wa- ters of the flood subside. An opening in the ground is said to be the orifice through which the flood disappeared. Baptist Humor. Here is a story from the Baptist con- ference at Leicester. It is about a minister.

The orrs,troin wbieh quicksilver is ob- tained is a brilliant red rock known as cinnabar. When a high purity, it is actually vermilion in color. Cinnabar is the original source of the pigment known commercially as vermilion. It is a compound of sulphur and quick- silver, and in order to ep-.rate the lat- ter from the sulphoi• the rock is roast- ed. Passing off in the form of a gas, the mercury is afterward condensed and flows out in a tine stream, like a continuous pencil cf molten silver. The discovery of the famous Califor- nia mines came about In an odd sort of way by observation of the vermilion paint with which eertain Indians in that part of the country frescoed their bodies. It was ascertained where they got the pigment. and thus were revealed the rich deposits which subsequently became of such commercial Impor- tance. Like gold and silver, mercury is occasionally found in a native or pure state. Sometimes the miner's pick penetrates a cavity that contains a cup- ful or more of the elusive and beauti- ful fluid.

The Lady and the Cobra. An English woman residing in India one evening found to ber horror that a huge cobra had coiled itself about her veranda rails, near 'which she sat play- ing the violin. She was too near the snake to run with safety, so she contin- ued playing while she gradually edged away. At first her only idea was to keep the creature tbus engaged while she escaped, but when she had gained a safer distance and perhaps fascinat- ed by the unwonted sight a strange in- spiration seized her. Shp played air after air of different characters. The effect was magical. That snake behaved like an ardent, hot blooded disciple of Paganini. Every variation in the music, whether of volume or of tone, produced instantly a correspond- ing change in the attitude of the cobra. If she played a lively dance, It swayed its body sideways in quick time and yet in graceful cur -es. Once she struck a number of false 'notes in rapid suc- cession on purpose. The cobra winced and writhed In pain as if suddenly struck with a whip. Thus the creature behaved like a mad musician till the lady, getting tired of the sport, gradually worked herself farther and farther and then made a sudden bolt into her room and banged the door, leaving the cobra to wander disconsolate to its lair in the fields.

During a high wind one summer day a young oriole was thrown from its nest to the ground. It was picked up by kind bands and kept in the house till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the closed blinds of a window near by to note proceedings on the part of the parent birds. They in the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had folltswed It to the house, and, as it was kept near the open window, Its cries had apprised them of its whereabouts. They soon came to it on the roof and hovered about it, doing much talking and con- sulting together. Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, who fidgeted about coming to the little one, spreading his wings over it, then fly- ing to a tree, when the female followed him and brought him back and again slipped a wing under the little one. Finally he seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and. slipping his own wing under, together they made a sort of cradle for the bird - ling, and, each flapping its free wing, they flew to the tree, bearing it to a place of safety among the branches, where it was lost sight of.—Boston Christian Register. Treatment For Sprains. The p: evalence of sprains and strains owing to the indulgence In athletic exercises of all kinds moves an Au- thority on the treatment of these pain- ful accidents to say: A little common sense treatment is often all that Is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without com- plications. It will swell very alarming- ly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking beings, but from the first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling Is painful, and the cold later on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, when all the wrenched cartilages and mus- cles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To make it, beat the white of an egg till light, but not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, to make a thick, pastelike icing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this has relieved the soreness begin with hot water fomentation and wear a light, firm bandage, except at night. Pyromant.-.:. Fond Father—That is the smartest child I ever saw.

NOT DRIED CURRANTS A LEARNED GROCER COMMENTS UP- ON A COMMON MISTAKE. The Tiny Fruit Used In Cake, Pud- dings, Buns and the Like Are Rai- sins Made Front Little Grapes That Are Grown In Greece. "Mother wants a pound of dried cur- rants," said a little girl who came into the learned grocer's store in Eighth avenue. "I haln't got a dried currant in the store and there hain't none lia the city," replied the learned grocer. "But 1 know what you want, sissy, and I've got 'em." The learned grocer brought forth a box of the little, sticky, sugary, gritty curritnts used in fruit cake, plum pud- dings, mince pies, buns and the like. "Why, them's 'em!" exclaimed the little girl. "Yes; them's 'em," assented the gro- cer, "and if the Grecian maiden who trod this particular lot of 'em into ship- shape had used a little water or even a feather duster on her feet before she began there wouldn't be so much grit in 'em as there is. She must have been having a regular hoedown on the clas- sic sands before she began tc..dance on this box of fruit. There, sissy; tell your mother she must bathe 'em in sev- eral waters before she uses 'em, or she might just as well put a lot of sandpa- per in her fruit cake. And tell her that they ain't dried currants either." "What's the reason they ain't dried currants?" demanded a disputative customer when the girl bad gone. "They ain't dried currants any more than they are dried pumpkins," replied the grocer. "The reason they aln' dried currants is that they weren't cur- rants before they were dried. Good reason enough, ain't it?" "Yes," said the customer, less dispu- tative than he wilts. "But what does everybody call them dried currants for then?" " 'Cause they don't k.now any better," said the learned grocer. "They'll go right on coming in here and asking for dried currants just the same after I tell 'em why they ain't dried currants as they did before." "What should they ask for, then?" in- quiged the customer. "If any man should come in here and ask for dried corinths," replied the learned grocer, "he would not necessa- rily be a gentleman, but I'd bet on him being a scholar. Dried corinths is what you should ask for when you want this little sugar coated, gritty raisin, for It's a raisin pure and sim- ple." "How's that?" the customer wanted to know. "Because it was a' grape before It was dried," said the grocer, "and if rai- sins ain't grapes what are they?" "But you said these were dried cor- inths," persisted the customer. "What's a corinth, anyhow?" "A corinth is the smallest grape that grows," replied the learned grocer, "and It lost its name years and years ago because it was gradually corrupted into 'currant,' which became also the name of the acidulated little berry of our garden, which you might dry from now until Gabriel sounds his horn without getting it nearer the condition of a raisin than a pea Is. "This little grape grows all over the islands of the Grecian archipelago and was first exported from Corinth, and that's what gave it Its proper name. The bunches don't grow much bigger than a stem of red currants, and they are so full of sugar that when they are picked and dried in the sun they actu- ally seem to melt and run together like gumdrops, and it takes a lot of care and work to separate them again. "After they are separated is the time when the Grecian maiden gets her work in on 'em, for it is one of her pleasant duties to jump on a heap of the sticky stuff with her bare feet until she has compressed enough of the little raisins to squeeze three boxes of them Into one. No hydraulic pump could do It better. If it could, we wouldn't have the sand and grit the maiden's feet mingle with the fruit, and without that no dried corinths are genuine. "Still, I shall expect folks to come in here right along and ask for dried cur- rants just the same," said the learned grocer as he went to wait on a new cus- tomer.—New York Press. Pitch and Toms.

"There was a lawyer of my acquaint- ance," said a ¶eteran member of the bar, "who was eccentric in more ways than one. He was very absentminded, and many stories are told of this an- noying failing. His home was at Ro- meo, this state, but he had a large practice in the local courts and resided in Detroit most of the time. His wife frequently visited him over Sunday. It was in the flourishing days of the old Michigan Exchange hotel, where he had a small top floor apartment. "I well remember the occasion of one of these visits. The lgwyer, who was a free hearted fellow, had arranged for a special dinner for himself and wife, but when the hour came he failed to appear, having, as it afterward trans- pired, forgotten all about his wife and gone to dine with a friend. Late that night he came to his hotel arid went to his old top floor room, while his wondering wife waited for him on an- other floor. He ate his breakfast ear- ly and repaired to his office without having seen her. When she learned that he had been at the hotel and eat- en breakfast as though he never had a wife, she packed her valise in high dudgeon and took the next train home. Finally the lawyer recovered from his fit of abstraction, but he was obliged to send his wife a telegraphic apology in order to stay threatened divorce pro reeclings."—Detroit Free Press, Hunting For Ostrich Egg.. "Once, and once only," says H. B. Tristman, an English traveler in Sa- hara, "I had the good fortune to take an ostrich's nest, although fresh eggs were not infrequently brought in by the Arabs. We observed with our tele- scopes two birds standing for some time in the same spot and were in- duced to ride toward them. They rapidly scudded off, but on intersecting their track we turned back and re- traced it instead of continuing a vain pursuit. An ostrich's track Is by no means easy either to follow or to re- trace, for his stride measures, when he Is at full speed, from 22 to 28 feet, and the oblong impression of two toes at so wide intervals affords no very evident track to any eyes less expert than those of a Bedouin huntsman. "We retraced the impression to the spot where we had seen the birds standing together and where the sand was well trodden down. Two Arabs at once dismounted and began to dig with their hands, and presently they brought up four fresh eggs from a depth of about a foot under the warm sand. "Ostrich egg omelet we always found a most welcome addition to our desert bill of fare and a convenient and portable provision, for from tbe thick- ness of the shell the eggs keep per- fectly sweet and fresh for a rortuieni or three weeks." Why the Oyster Crop Fails. It is pointed out that partial failure of the oyster erop in certain years, the diminution in size of the oysters on the market and the extinction of many oyster beds that formerly were famous have been due to want of -material for the production of the oyster shell. The beds throughout the oyster belt have steadily deteriorated in late years and In many cases become absolutely worthless in spite of the fact that food has been supplied artificially at great expense and trouble and wire fences have been used to protect the oysters from the starfish. For this trouble the defilement of the water by sewage and waste of va- rious manufacturing establishments have usually been blamed, sometimes Justly, sometimes without cause. What the oyster must have or it will perish is a full supply of carbonate of lime with which to build its shell. Near the mouths of rivers, where carbonate of lime in mechanical solution, as it is ex- pressed, comes down from the hills and plains of the interior in drainage, the oyster has all the material it needs for building its house, and at the same time the infiowing tide brings it ample food.—Boston Transcript.

For weeks she was a bride. marching down an imagi- nary aisle to the strains of an imagi- nary wedding march to tneet an imagi- nary bridegroom. At last. her mother becoming tired of it, she said: "Faith, don't you know that when you get married you will have to leave me?" This was a rude awakening, and the game stopped.

But in view of the earnestness of the contest among the '1inneapolis aspirants, it looks as it the appointment may be made from some other locality. The fact that the labor organizatiens of St. Paul - are united on E. B.

Electricity is now beginning to be extensively used in Calcutta for vart- eus purposes, such as lighting, fans to take the place of punkhas that were pulled by cooties, for driving machin- ery, etc. One of the large agricultural Imple- ment manufacturers has about com- pleted arrangements to engage in the manufacture of the Borslg electric plow for the American market. This machine has come into very general use In Europe and will probably be- come popular here. A new method for ha1'kning and in- creasing the life of storage battery plates has just been patented. It con- sists in dipping the plates alternately in acidulated water and a dilute solu- tion of pyridin, which is a complex chemical substance derived syntheti- cally from coal tar residues. In the pyridin solution is a small quantity of alcohol, and It is asserted that the com- bination of all the agencies concerned results in greatly strengthening the plate mechanically and also by highly oxidizing the plate in making it of considerably higher capacity than it would be without this treatment. Recently Dr. W. Freudenthal of New York read an interesting paper before the American Electro Therapeutic as- sociation on the subject of the value of electric light in the treatment of tu- berculosis of the throat and lungs. Sunlight and electric light, he said, have the same effect upon the system, and it has been proved by thousands of cases already treated that the bene- ficial result of treatment by electric light is due to the action of those rays which approximate most closely to sun- light, the blue and the ultra violet rays of the arc light. A remarkable instance of a battery of accumulators working under water was recently given at the municipal electric plant in Munich. The station is situated on an island in the Isar, and during a flood the water covered the batteries. According to The Scientific American, one of the batteries which ran the car lines was completely cut out, and it was thought that the other, which furnished light, would have to be treated in the same way. The fly- wheels of the engines were half In the water. Nevertheless as it was almost indispensable to light at least the prin- cipal streets of the city it was decided to try to operate the submerged bat- tery. The attempt was successful, and the battery which had been construct- ed to give 0,000 ampere hours with a 600 ampere discharge was able to fur- nish 4,000 ampere hours during tis night. The remainder was lost in dis- charges In the water. To Make One Grow. The Chicago Record says a French physician claims to have found a new drug which will add to the human\ stature. It Is a simple decoction of cereals, which are boiled three hours. The liquid is strained, sugared and drunk while fresh. Dr. Springer states that his expekiments with the drug on animals and children indicated such a control over their growth that he could even make giants of those whose or- ganization was especially favorable. It is a point already well established that by feeding a child with quantitles of very moist food he will be gigantic in stature as compared with a child nour- ished on dried, smoked, spiced, astrin- gent or tonic food administered spar- ingly. The inhabitants of the north of Europe drink much tea, beer and miller which, together with the influence of their moderately cool and moist cli- mate, favors the growth of their bodies. In southern Europe. where dry and spiced food is used, together with spir- ituous liquors, bodies, though more sprightly, are geterally shorter. Of all foods cereals are those that contain most soluble phosphates, which serve as nutrients to the bones. Dr. Springer, while relying on cereals to promote growth, prescrites also systematic gymnastics for exciting and regulating assimilation, for if the bony structure be too rapidly or prematurely develop- ed the body will become stiff and un- manageable, and instead of growth dwarfing will ensile. He also uses at the same time electric discharges, espe- cially at the knee joint, with continual examination by the X ray, to observe the progress of the method. If in spite of all this there is a stoppage of the growth, fresh thyroid gland of calf or sheep is admtnstered. Dr. Springer in- sists above everything that people who wish to make the most of their growth must abstain from alcohol. Arrest of development is particularly noticeable in districts given over to alcoholism. In France there are whole villages un- able tb furnish a single recruit to the army because for this reason the inhab- itants are all undersized. Newest Photography. Photographing objects solely by the light from the planet Venus has been successfully accomplished. The exper- iments were conducted within the dome of the Smith observatory at Ge- neva, N. Y., so that all outside light was excluded except that whieh came from Venus through the open shutter of the dome. The time was the darkest hour of the night, after the planet had risen and before the approach of dawn. The actinic property of the light from Venus was much stronger than antici- pated, the photographic plates being re- markably clear, intense and felly timed. The art of manicure Is many centu- ries old, having had its birth In the dim old convents of France, where the pa- tient nuns practiced it on the hands of the noble ladies brought up within their walls. It is human nature to deride what we cannot possess, to deny what we can - cot understand and to insult those we envy.—Ohimgo Naive. The Story of a Hoodoo Hat. Mr. John Cooper, one of Dooly coun- ty's most prominent citizens, is in the city on his way to Augusta tilt attend the old veterans' reunion. When he got off the train, he looked up Captain Warren Moseley, one of the bravest of the boys who went out in the sixties, and they immediately began swapping reminiscences about their army life in Virginia. Finally Mr. Cooper asked Captain Moseley if he remembered the Yankee hat. A reporter who was stand- ing there heard the following story, which both men vouch for as being ab- solutely true: On the first day of the battle of Win- chester a Yankee was killed so near the line of battle that a soldier of the name of McLendon, Company I, Fourth Georgia, picked up the hat and put it on and wore it. He had not had it on his head for more than two hours when he was shot through the head, the bul- let piercing the hat 1. almost the same hole that the bullet had entered that killed the Yankee. Another soldier of the name of Woo- ten of Company H, Fourth Georgia, picked up the hat and put it on, and in less than an hour he, too, was killed, the bullet striking him in the head near the place where the other two bullets had entered. The next day another soldier of the name of Kilpatrick of Company H, Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat when he, too, was struck in the head and killed. Although the hat was a fine one, it was left lying on the field, as there was no one who would wear it, as four men who had worn it were then cold and stiff, and each one had been shot through the hat in almost the same place.—Macon News. Cyclone Pranks. A traveler in the west, the Rev. C. T. Brady, says that of all the manifesta- tions of power he ever witnessed, from an earthquake- down, a cyclone is the most appalling. The midnight black- ness of the funnel, the lightning dart- ing from it in inconceivable fierceness, the strange crackling sound from its bosom, the suddenness of its irresisti- ble attack, its incredibly swift motion, its wild leaping and bounding, like a gigantic beast of prey, the awful roar which follows, all this but feebly char- acterizes that strange ravager of the plains. He continues: The cyclone plays odd pranks. I have seen two horses lifted in air and carefully deposited, unharmed, in a field about an eighth of mile away. I have seen chickens and geese picked clean of feathersandyet feebly alive. One house, I remember, had a bole ten feet in diameter cut out of its roof, as if by a circular saw. I have seen the black, whirling cloud lift a build- ing and shake it to pieces, as one shakes a pepper box. One of the worst cyclones I ever knew threw a `heavy iron safe about as a child might toss a wooden alphabet block in play. It is an irresponsible as well as an almost omnipotent monster, and it seems to love the hideous jokes of its own concocting. Boston's "Little Italy." The Boston Transcript says that Lost ton's "Little Italy" is established in the very quarter where Paul, Revere lived and whence he bore the message of the'botfry. The Old North square rip- ples with the color and music of for- eign.€aces and tongues. The Old North church itself cannot have far to go to neighbor with Franciscan chapels and Roman Catholic cathedrals, the whole medley of a foreign world usurp- ing that place where once Puritanism reigned supreme. They say that the Boston Italians are very thrifty, that from being goodsent payers they are becoming notable prop- erty buyers. They are a music loving and art loving people. "Go to the Museum of Fine Arts on the free days and "see these same Italians, in their rags and hobnail shoes, men, women and children, standing before the finest things in the gallery and appreciating them." And; that sight reminds a writer In The .Transcript of a shabby cabman in Florence who always carried his Gerusalemma Liberata in his coat pocket and whose passion was for the preservation of the Italian tongue in its purity, "as only the Siennese now preserve it, signorina." A Water of Special Value. While Sir William Harcourt was traveling in the highlands with Lord John Russell and other friends they were one day crossing a Scotch loch, and in course of some conversation with a boatman, from whom they were trying to elicit information as to his views on the beauty of the surround- ing landscape, the man assured them that the water of the loch had a spe- cial value. When asked to explain what it was, he remarked that it had the reputation of making the finest toddy in Scotland.—Chambers' Journal. In the Interest of Accuracy. At a meeting of the Mansfield House settlement Mr. Percy Alden, the ward- en, told a story of the mother of Robert Louis Stevenson. The wido* of the novelist was telling how, in the island of Samoa, the old lady had taken walks with a native chieftain "who had killed thousands and eaten hundreds." "Oh, Fannyl" exclaimed the novelist's mother in horror, "you know it was only 111"—London Chron- lcleC The Point of View. The squire (sympathetically)—I'm very sorry to hear that your bueband is at the point of death, Mrs. Hodge, but you must try and be cheerful, as you know it will be all for the best.

It is remarkable, says F. S. Scales, that weevils never injure the germ of the grain, which therefore grows as' well when it has served as a nest for this little pest as previously. It has been found thata dozen Portu- guese oysters contain about six grains of phosphoric acid. French oysters have abaft fnow arainusnee Aeeaa THE BAND PLAYED "DIXIE." And Sousa Won the Hearts of the People at Fayetteville. When North Carolina celebrated its centenary, the Marine band was order- ed to Fayetteville to participate in the ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa. The little southern town was much in- terested in the advetet of the "presi- dent's band," and the prevailing opin- ion was that "Dixie" would be tabooed music with us. Before the exercises a local committee waited upon me and intimated that "Dixie" was a popular melody in that vicinity. "Of course," said the spokesman, "we don't want you to play anything you don't want to, but please remember, sir, that we are very fond of 'Dixie' here." Bowing gravely, I thanked the com- mittee for their interest in my pro- gramme, but left them completely in the dark as to whether I intended to play the loved song of the south or not. The ceremonies opened with a patri- otic address by, Governor Fowle laud- ing the glories of the American flag, and naturally the only appropriate mu- sic to such a sentiment was "The Star Spangled Banner," which the crowd patriotically cheered. The tone of the succeeding oration was equally q y fervid, but the speaker en- larged upon the glories of the common- wealth whose one hundredth anniver- sary was being celebrated. The orator sat down, and there was a momentary pause, and then as I raised my baton the strains of "Dixie" fell upon the de- lighted ears of the thousands round the platform. The unexpected had happened, and such a shout as went up from that throng I have never heard equaled. Hats were tossed in the air, gray hair- ed men embraced, and for a few min. utes a jubilant pandemonium reigned supreme. During the rest of our stay in Fayetteville the repertory of the Ma- rine band was on this order: "Yankee Doodle," "Dixie," "Star Spangled Ban- ner," "Dixie," "Red, White and Blue" "Dixie."—Youth's Companion. A Singel_: _ One of the leading of Chi- cago, with a practice of 30 years be- hind him, had an experieuce not long ago that was entirely new to him. It was near his hour for starting to his lecture class in a West Side school. Three women were in the waiting room. Two of them were willing to make an appointment for the next day. The third one, a stranger, would bear to no delay, and the doctor's as- sistant showed her in. "I had my hat in my hand," said the doctor, "and`\she had been told that I was in a hurky. She came across the room in a most leisurely fashion, how- ever, taking three times as much time as the ordinary person would. She was chewing an unusual wad of gum— s whole package, I should say—and she was chewing it with desperate vigor. "She sat down slowly, and I asked hers a question. She looked straight at me and went on chewing. I spoke again and again, but she sat looking at me and chewing in as much silence as was possible under the circum- stances. Finally I said to her: "'Madam, will you kindly stop chew- ing long enough to answer my ques- tions? - "Then she burst out, sobbing:" "'That's just what I'm here for -1 can't stop—I've got to chew—and I've been chewing just this way for more than two years.' "—Chicago Tribune. Wheeler's Bravery. Wheeler's charge at the battle of Shiloh was said by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery be had ever witness- ed,and a feat whit' roused admira- tion among both armies was when the intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Rosecrans' provision train after the battle of Chickamauga. On Dec. 30, 1863, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and important duties ever assigned a cav- alry commander. He crossed the Ten- nessee river in the face of a division of cavalry under General George Crook, drove back and worsted the troops that guarded the Federal trains of 600 mules and 1,000 wagons and captured the whole, with 1,500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rose- crans' cavalry, 8,000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged and repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at McMinnville, Tenn., with 600 prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroy- ing the bridges near Murfreesboro, and then, as full of fight as at the begin- ning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Hooker and the Eleventh and Twelfth corps that came riding down at the moment to re - enforce the Yankees.—Chicago Journal. The History of a Book. Following is the story of the first edi- tion of Fitzgerald's celebrated transla- tion of "Omar Khayyam." The book was issued anonymously and found no buyers. Accordingly the author went to Bernard Quaritch's shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 copies of the "Ru- bafyat" and said, "Quaritch, I make you a present of these books." The famous bookseller offered them first at half a crown, then at a shilling and, again descending, at sixpence, but no buyers came. In despair, he re- duced the book to a penny and put copies into a box outside his door, with a ticket, "All these at one penny each." At that price the pamphlet moved, in a few weeks the lot was sold, and in this way one of the finest gems of Eng- lish literature was dispersed among a not overdiscerning public. The legend has it that Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburne and Burton were among those who discovered the "hid- den treasure in the penny box." Years passed, and the once despised volume rose in the market, and in 1898 Quar- ltch bought in for £21 a copy which 40 years before be had sold for a penny. Green Tomato Preserves. Select small, even sized tomatoes, scald, peel and weigh them. Allow sugar pound for pound. Make a sirup with the sugar and a very little water, put in the tomatoes and cook slowly until done; add a sliced lemon for flavoring about 15 minutes before the preserves are done and seal. The Electric Light Company. The Electric Light and Power Company equipped their station Aug. lst with two direct ourrent gen- erators of thirty-five horse power each for the purpose of furnishing power, installing second hand ma- chines at that time. The service has expanded so rapidly that the com- pany has found it necessary to order two uew generators of the very latest type to displace the present, thereby doubling the capacity of the plant. Current for the electric lights for business places will be furnished from the uew generators, dispensing with the alternating system and trans- formers which occasionally cause trouble by burning out. The direct current in this part of the city will be a great convenience to business men, owing to the fact that they can use electric fans all day as well as in the evening. The new machines are to be delivered Feb. lst, and when they are put is place the company will be in shape to handle all the motors they can get, and will be free from the vexation of fluctuating voltage when the larger motors are being started and stopped, as the new machines are compound wound, maintaining their normal voltage ander extremely varying loads, thereby insuring a steady speed for motors as well as a steady light. The company is at present furnishing power to R. C. Libbey, forty-five horse power, D. L. Thompson, fifteen horse power, Bat Steffen, twenty-five horse power, N. L. Bailey, four horse power, Dr. A. M. Adsit, one quarter horse power, Dr. H. G. VanBeeek, one-quarter horse power. Electric motors are recognized as being the cleanest, safest, cheapest, and most convenient power in use, and are fast displacing all others. The company is making very satis- factory rates for service, and with tie new and enlarged plant will he thoroughly able to give perfect satisfaction.

Obituary. The Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Nininger, died in Minneapolis Tues- day night of heart failure. He went up that morning according to his usual custom to revise the proofs upon a weekly paper with which he was connected, and spent the evening at the residences of his wife's parents. About nine p. m. he complained of a choking sensation which medical as- sistance failed to relieve, and at midnight passed away. Mr. Donnel- ly was horn in Philadelphia, Nov. 3d, 1831; was educated in the city schools; admitted to the bar in 1853; was married to Miss Katherine Mc Caffrey, Sept. 10th, 1855; came west in 1856, locating at Nininger, where he has since made his home. In 1859 he was elected lieutenant governor, re-elected in 1861, and elected to congress from the old second district in 1862, serving six years. Has since filled several terms in the state senate and house of representatives from Dakota County. In 1882 pub- lished his first book, Atlantis, which was speedily followed by Ragnarok, the Great Cryptogram, Caesar's Col- umn, and Dr. Huguet, which had quite large circulations, but none proving a very great financial suc- cess. For the past few years he has lived rather quietly at -his country residence. Mr. Donnelly was very congenial, of industrious, studious habits, and had he possessed more stamina and balance would easily have been the great man of Minne- sota. A large proportion of his life has been spent in chasing the rain- bow, the vexations and disappoint- ments clouding what otherwise might have proved a successful and pros- perous political career. Dr. William ♦therten died at his home on wem't Second Street Wednes- day afternoon from pneumonia, after a week's illness. He was born in Dalton, N. H., Des. 27th, 1822. Was married to his first wife, Miss Sarah 0. Kenney, at Dalton, in 1845. and removed to St. Louis in 1855. In 1861 they came to Hastings, Mrs. Atherton dying the following year. He enlisted in the Second, Minnesota Cavalry, crossing the plains in 1862-3. In 1864 he was married to Mrs. Clara Orr, in St. Paul, who died here in June, 1896. Ile leaves one son, William E., of Minneapolis, a niece, Mrs. Hattie J. Leggett, of this city, and a sister in Salt Lake City. He was an old and highly es- teemed citizen, and his death is gen- erally regretted in the community. The faneral was held from the house yesterday, at two p. m., the Rev. M. R. Paradis officiating. In- terment in Lakeside. Mr. Edward Brennan, an old resi- dent of Lakeville, was accidentally killed on Tuesday by falling down a stairway at the Union Hotel. He was aged about sixty-five years, and leaves four sons and three daughters. The funeral was held on Thursday. Mathias Hataway, in the employ of T. J. Clark, of Denmark, for several years past, died Friday evening from Bright's disease, aged forty-two years. The interment was in the Guardian Angels' cemetery. The Hastings Postomoe.

Minn, I WANT MONEY TTO LOAN. THE BRAINS OF THE NORTH, Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate 0 the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as sate as government bonds. The large life in• surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than $10,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for $200 as one for $.50.000. Therefore, for a time at least, it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from $200 to $5,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in huge amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than $10,000) and I have many applications for loans of from $300 to 55,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

By Philip Firmin. The winter climate of California is very delightful, especially at the great Hotel Balboa, but evenithere clouds are not unknown, and storms occur at times. Similarly the relationship be- tween Colonel Talbot and his daughter Josephine was said by their sentimen- tal friends to be a beautiful one, for they loved each other devotedly and were seldom separated; nevertheless it had its periods of disturbance when they failed to agree and when each spoke freely according to the family custom. The colonel Was a man of large means, whose home was in an eastern city. He had taken a suit of rooms in the Balboa for the winter for a party which consisted of himself, his daugh- ter, aged 23, and his sister, a matron of about his own age. . There was also a maid. The season was about half over when the trouble between the colonel and Miss Josephine began. The storm cen- ter at the outset was a certain Harry Grandin. Some time later a second area of disturbance was created around a widow, a Mrs. Bronson, but this was declared by the colonel not to be a genuine casus bell!, but merely a coun- ter irritant and an attempt to get up a side issue. According to the material provided at that time on which to base a judg- ment Harry Grandin was either .a handsome fellow, with exquisite man- ners, who coum talk to your very soul , and whom all the other girls wanted, or he was a pestiferous nuisance that no one knew anything about, a fortune hunter most likely, whcf should be run off the place if the colonel had his way about it. And the widow, from the same sources, was either a sly, design - Ing creature that penciled her eyelash - as and pretended not to know that she was flirting or she was an estimable person, who minded her own affairs and was nothing to the colonel nor be to her and who ought not to be drag- ged into this matter. "It seems very strange," said Joseph- ine, "that the person I love best in all the world, my own father,is the only one that thinks I am a perfect fright-" "1 don't think anything of the kind!" cried the colonel indignantly. "You are an exceptionally handsome woman, as your mother was before you, an d 1 know it as well as -as you do." He fin- ished with a grin. "Then why do you always assume that every man who pays me the slight- est attention does so merely because of your money?" She beamed on him as one does who bas scored. "I don't assume it of every one"- be- gan the colonel. "That is not rich and bald and stu- pid." "My dear," said the colonel solemnly, "there are some things in this world that your old dad knows a little more about than you do, and money is one of them. There are two parts to get- ting rich. One is to make money, and the other is to hold on to it. The first of these is easy enough, but the second Is deadly bard. Who was the English- man who said that whenever be woke up in the morning in the city of Paris and suddenly remembered that the place contained, according to police statistics, over 60,000 people who would rob him if they got a chance it threw him into a blue funk? Now, I have some money, I admit There is enough to allow us to take life easily and to do pretty much as we please within reason. I have put it in the best possible shape to leave to you when I pass out. But how long do you think it will all last If some rascally young spendthrift should have a chance at it as your husband? So I would rather suspect 99 innocent ones tban have you caught on the hundredth one who would play the mischief with your happiness." "You must be pretty well through with the 99," said Josephine. "Like enough," said her father. "In that case our young friend Grandin must be tilt hundredth that is specially to be looked out for." "Now, to go back to the point from which this talk started," said Joseph: Iim Ins. "I believe I told you that there sae was to be a fishing party tomorrow and how that Mr. Grandin asked Aunt Harriet hen and me to go. What do you think?" "Do just as you please about it," said the the colonel "You can't lure me into as foradding things so as to make it In- "el teresting. I am merely giving you a abou little tip, Dodie, my dear, because 1 to love you." mat dea Miss Josephine flung herself over the you arm of the colonel's chair and put ner yo arms about his neck. "Oh, dad. I love you too. Sometimes I almost wish that there wasn't any money for us to get all mixed up about." "Stick to that 'almost,' Dodie." "And say, dad. You don't mind me giving you a tip, do you?" The colonel looked a little uncom- fortable. "It's about the widow, you know." "Whom do you mean?" he asked, With dignity; "Mrs. Bronson?" - "Who else? You are not interested in more than one widow, are you? I heard the other day that her first was a butcher. Think of It -the poor little lamb!" "He was a Kansas City meat man," said the colonel indignantly, "and I should think you and your aunt might find something better to spend your time in than gossip." Whenever the conversation shifted to the subject of the widow, Captain Tal- bot felt himself at a great disadvan- tage, as is always the case with simple innocence when it is called upon to face adroit insinuation and the suspi- cion that lurks in a tone rather than in the spoken words. It is true that be admired . Mrs. Bronson, for she was pretty and dressed in modest, becom- ing style, and she was a bright and en- tertaining talker. Yes; he must admit that he liked her best of all the women at the Balboa. The others who were of suitable age for companionship were too dull or were taken up with daugh- ters or devoted to complaining hus- bands. Her father -bad been a Loyal Legion man, as he was, and she could remem- ber something of the war, just enough for him to fix her age as 15 years less than his own, and this gave one fruit- ful topic of conversation. She admired Scott and Dickens and disdained the "new stuff," as he did. Longfellow was her favorite poet -and his. Her tastes and interests were simple and domestic, yet she was greatly diverted by the colonel's experiences in busi- ness and politics. The other women were civil to her, but a little distant. This may have been due to the suspi- cious hints let fall by Josephine and her aunt, or it may have arisen simply from the fact that she was a widow. All single women and most married ones think that the widow should take her place on the funeral pyre beside the body of the husband, after the In- dian fashion. When the fishing party bad departed the next morning, the colonel betook himself to the bowling alley, whither none but a few old enthusiasts ever came. At one end of thelong room in a little alcove there was a window that looked out over the ocean. The widow was fond of this quiet secluded spot. and on days when Josephine and her aunt were' away the colonel usually found her there. She had a soft crape shawl over her rounded shoulders, and she was busy over a beaded purse. She `scarcely looked up from her work as he approached and seated him- self at her side. "Are you going to play?" she asked, and he replied ac- cording to the regular formula: "Pres- ently. May I sit here?" "Certainly." She looked innocently beyond him toward the alley. "Did your daughter come down with you?" Miss Josephine never played. "She bas gone fishing with her aunt and the rest of them. Why didn't you go too?" As a matter of fact the widow bad not been asked. "I do not care for fishing," she said, and as she did so he baited her book with a sweet smile and threw- it out toward him. The colonel's old heart gave a youthful ump, and his hand trembled a little as he readjusted his eyeglasses. "I took pains to find out whether you were to be of the party," said he, "and when I found you were not going I ecided that I did not care for fishing myself." This was nibbling at rather close ange, but the widow pretended not to notice it. She did not lift her long eye - ashes even the hundredth part of an nch, which gave the colonel all the etter opportunity to admire them. nd through the whole morning be IrcIed round and round the bait, but e did not bite, perhaps by reason of n instinct that had come down to him rom the gay days of his, youth and rhaps because she was not ready to and him yet. It Is about a half mile from the boat nding to the entrance of the Balboa. As the fishing party walked this dis- nee one small detachment, consisting f Miss Josephine and Mr. Grandin, ell so far behind and moved so slowly hat even the sympathetic Aunt Har - et glared fiercely at them as they ame upon the steps. Mr. Grandin was another who did ot care much for fishing. He was yang: "People were altogether too ick in that beastly little boat. I have ot bad a word alone with you all day!, "Anything to say?" "Only the same thing." "Yon may say it just once." "I love you." "Walk faster. 1 can see my father looking at us from the corner of the piazza." "And the widow is with him -your stepmamma that is to be." "Don't you dare to say it If 1 thought so, 1 would marry the first man that asked me." "I will be the first." "Oh, Mrs. Fuller, we have bad such a lovely day. Mr. Grandin and I stop- ped to see If we conid arrange to have all the fish we caught sent to the poor people." Next morning a letter and a newspa- per lay beside the colonel's plate when he came down to breakfast a little In advance of his daughter and sister. He recognised the same address on both, that of his attorney in the eastern city where he resided, and he broke the seal of the letter with some eagerness: My Dear Colonel -1 got the stuff printed in The es, halff as you asked, though they would not your nerve. It pointe to you plainly enough, ever. I don't understand the game, but you bably know what you are doing. Is there a on in the Blue Elephant? Should I buy or ? Sounds funny to read that the failure of mine will affect your fortunes, remembering, I do, how cleverly you sneaked out of it un- hed a year ago. e you requested, I have started an inquiry t the young man Grandin and will be ready report on him in a few days. What is the ter? Another moth at Josephine's Hamer My r fellow, I have told you a thousand times that are too suspicious. Yours, A. O. W. Then the colonel unfolded the news- paper and, finding the marked passage, read as follows: Politics Is Money. -It is rumored that the true reason for the Budden withdrawal of a well known citizen from the senatorial race and his departure for California was not at all his friendship for the governor, as was alleged at the time, but the die - estrous failure of an enterprise in which he was financially involved to a very considerable extent. When the Blue Elephant went to pieces, the event was not supposed to have any political signifi- Cance, but its largest owner wee known to-13 certain colonel who is now suddenly out of p tics. It costs money to heapede a senator in state, and the pastime is w.l enough for millsires, but a fortune that is reduced to bare b and which perhaps scarcely exists at all will nand such a strain. The colonel smiled grimly as he the article, and several times duri the course of the breakfast, which ate by himself without waiting for t ladies, he chuckled, as though so thing on his mind was affording h great amusement, When Miss Josephine and her au came into the room, he drew a 10 face, and,_ handing his daughter t paper with the marked portion exp ed, he said: "It is out at last. Excu me. but I must go over to the city be gone all day. Don't worry, e • ( its publication, At this Mr. Grandin sie tints laughed a good deal more. ion• , "You see," said the colonel, "I have ant's always had a horror of a marriage in not ' my family with any kind of a mer - re ' cenary element in it. If such a mar- a"rtage could be avoided by a little ruse ng like that, I thought I would be justified be in resorting to it. Don't you agree he with ole?" we- Mt'. Grandin laughed again, but be 110 said that he entirely agreed with the colonel.

Then be hurried out the room. The two women eagerly read the ar ete and then reread it to find out wh it meant. "Oh," said Josephine, "It was on yesterday that 1 said to father that almost wished he would lose all h money!" "How could you Wish such a wick thing:" cried her aunt reproachful "Now you see what has happened." They were just beginning to read th article through for the third time wh Josephine looked up and said, "He comes Mr. Grandin." "Hide it," said her aunt. "Indeed I shall not. I intend that shall see It first of all" "Good morning, Mrs. Blake. Goo morning, Miss Talbot. May I sit her I did not see you ladies anywhere la evening." "We played 'porrazo' t•1 our room with the colonel and MI'.timunds. D you play 'porrazo,' Mr. Grandin?" "I tried it once, Mrs. Blake, but 1 d not approve of a game where you la down a card and say 'porrazo' wit great triumph, only to have the nex person to you lay down another car and say 'contra porrazo' and take it a away' from you. Where is the colone by the way?" "He has gone to the city for the day. "There is something here that 1 wis you to read, Mr. Grandin," said Josep ne, handing him the paper. The young man read the article an brought his lips together in a bunch. "This refers to Colonel Talbot, I tak t," said he. Josephine nodded. "And it means that be has lost hi money." Josephine nodded again, and her aun ooked sadly into her coffee cup. "Does this involve you in any way Mrs. Blake?" "Not at all." Mr. Grandin smiled cheerfully.

When the young people were alone a w minutes later, Josephine said, "1 and where you were last evening." Grandin shook his bead sadly. "What small place a big hotel is!" he said.

Ir. Grandin would listen to no apolo- gies or explanations, but grasped the colonel's hand and shook it warmly. "That newspaper story," said the colonel, "was a fake.

Robbing an Eagle's Nest. The author of "Sport and Travel" tells how he robbed an eagle's nest in Asia Minor, or, rather, bow be man- aged to get It robbed for him. The uest was about 60 feet from the ground, on a perpendicular cliff 130 feet high. He says: ,I twisted 30U feet of half inch cord into a strong rope of less than half that length and also wade a strong but light Tope ladder out of the ropes from the pack saddles. 1 then sent four men to the top of the cliff to let down the long rope directly over the eagle's nest. The rope ladder was attached to the end of it and drawn over the open space where the nest lay. This was held In place by another rope tied to a tree at the bottom of the cliff. There was now uo difficulty in ap- proaching the nest and no danger so long as the rope held, although, of course, the sensation of being dangled at the eud of a long rope is more or less unpleasant until one gets accus- tomed to it. Mustapha reached the nest without difficulty and brought down the two eggs In a handkerchief held between his teeth. We watched the nest all day and found that the mother eagle did not re- turn. We had disturbed her on the previous day, and so she bad evidently deserted her home. Worse Thais Ws Own.

"Why are you still wearing those old clothes, Mat?" he asked. "Sure, yer honor, they're the best I have," replied Mat.

He had to make some sketches in the villages about Naples. and his experiences have filled him with wonder enough for a lifetime. His deft pencil helped him a bit. At one little village inn he tried to get It through the landlord's head that he was to be called early in the morning. He couldn't make himself understood. At last he drew a picture of himself tying In bed, the sun peep- ing through the window, the clock at the hour of 6 and the chambermaid knocking at the door.

You probably meant to give me a $2 bill, and I thought it was one when I gave you 41 in change." "But I think it was a ten, my friend." "No; it was a twenty, and I have been driving about for half an hour to find you and restore the money. Here it is." "And what was it you were going to say to your dear old 'Josb from the cornfields?" asked the old man as he turned to the wise person. But the wise person was there no longer.

It seems as though cherished notions were no sooner on an apparently firm foundation than some inconsiderate iconoclast comes along and throws them down. People have for many' years supposed that the color green was restful to human eyes and have been referred to the green grass and green foliage that nature has been so prodigal with for the benefit of wearied vision. Now. according to it German profess- or of Berlin. nature wasn't thinking of human eyes when she made her pro- fuse verdant display and that her col- or scheme was carried out absolutely regardless of the visual Deeds of hu- maulty. He says that green does not protect the eye, and be denies that it has any beneficial effects whatever. He declares that green paper. green shades, green glasses. green decora- tions and green umbrellas are all a mistake and that by increasing the green light we are simply provoking a nervous disturbance. He says that each'"of the colors tires a different set of nerves of vision, and therefore looking at one particular col- or saves one set of nerves at the ex- pense of another. The best method, he says, is to dim all of the rays of light by smoked or gray glasses, which rest all of the optic nerves. -New York Hera Id. Safe Way to Watch Fights. The colonel and 1 sat talking under a shade tree in front of the town post - office when a dogfight started down the street. "Come on!" I said as I sprang up. "Cowe.this way," replied the colonel as he seized my arm and drew me into a doorway. "But I want to see the dogfight" I protested. "Yes, I reckon you do, but you also want to keep clear of the shooting." "Why should there be any shooting?" "Because one dog has got to lick t'oth- er, and the owner of the licked dog ain't goin to let it rest that way. There they go!" Ten minutes later we stepped out, to find one man lying on the ground with two bullets in him and some people carrying away a second with half a dozen. "Dogfights are bewtiful affairs," said the colonel as we walked away, "but the safest way to see one in Kentucky is to wait till it's all over and the dead carried off." -Chicago News.

Just before he went to sea for the last time be was present at a dinner, dur- ing which he sat between the artist and Sir William Hamilton.

"But," said he, turning to West, "there Is one picture whose power I do feel 1 never pass a shop where your 'Death of Wolfe' is in the window without being stopped by it." West made some gracious answer to the compliment, and Nelson went on, Why have you painted no more like it?" "Because, my lord," West replied. "there are no more subjects" "Ab," said the sailor, "i didn't think of that." "But, my lord," continued West, "I am afraid your intrepidity will yet furnish me with another such scene. and if it should i shall certainly avail myself of it." "Will you?" said Nelson -"will you, Mr. West? Then 1 hope I shall die in the next battle!"

ELECTRICITY IN r. CAUSE OF SHE ORIGIN OF THE WAX AND CHINA VARIETIES. I They Were First Used to Show 08 Models of Costly Dresses and In the Seventeenth Century Were What Fashion Papers Are Today. The origin of the word doll is curi- ous. Centuries ago, when saints' names were much in vogue for children, St. Dorothea was the most popular, and her name the best and luckiest that could be given to a little girl. The nickname was Dolly, or Doll, and from giving babies the nickname it was au easy step to pass it on to the little images of which the babies were so fond. The word doll is not found in com- mon use in our language until the middle of the eighteenth century, and. as far as can be discovered. first ap- pears in The Gentleman's Magazine for September, 1751, in the following: "Several dolls with. different dresses, made 1n St. James street. have been scut to the czarina to show the manner of dressing at present in fashion among • English ladies." Previous to this the word used to describe the favorite plaything of all girls in all countries and 1n all ages was "baby." which is to be found. together with "poppet." or "puppets' in this sense in the works of most of the earlier writers. - The wax and china doll originated in the middle of the seventeenth cen- tury. There were no fashion papers as now, and in order to show what was being; worn en the continent dolls were beautifully and expensively dressed and sent to the various European coun- tries. and from the model orders were taken. The dolls, to show off their costly garb. must be made of more precious stuff than wood, so wax and china and even ivory ones were made. Thuriaig;:, is' the land where most dolls are bort—puppetland, as_it is call- ed on this account. About 200 years ago most of the dolls were made in Flanders, and they were called not dolls, but Flanders' babies. There used to be an old English couplet which ran thus: The children of -Holland take pleasure in making What the children'of England take piea:ure in } breaking. At one European doll factory of the 1 , present day 100,000 dolls are produced annually. some 500 men. women and children being employed: To make one talking doll requires the joint labor of 30 men. Dolls' eyed are made in Un- derground rooms, into which the sun- light rarely' peeps,. and violet orbs are the ,most difficult to color. There is one. town in Germany where three- fourths of all the dolls' eyes in the y world are made. Only in the case of the most expensive dolls is real buman hair used. In a doll factory are wood carvers, headmakers, leg and arm makers. eye - makers. portrait artists, hairdressers. doll sewers and doll stuffers; also a small army of fashionable dressmakers and milliners. The Ilindoo child Is probably the only doll -less child in the world. The little Egyptians have their wooden "1 shabti," the same in style as 4,000 years ago. These were sometimes made of ,porcelain. Vt.'hen a child died, its clods were buried with it, in the ex- pectation that their spirit forms would rise and do service in another world. The paradise of dolls is Japan, where they are most elaborately and gor- geously attired affairs. So are the dolls of Kioto—"genroku," as they are call- ed. They are often valuable wood carvings, enameled In colore or statu- ettes of great artistic merit. 4 One of the most interesting coilec- tions of dolls in this country is that belonging to the bureau of ethnology, Washington. They are dolls of the Uni Indians of Arizona and are made from the roots or subterranean branches of the cottonweed tree, whittled out with knives. They are decorated bright red, yellow, green and represent the gods of the tribe—the god of the snow. the god that eats up the rainclouds, the fire god, the sun god and the corn goddess. The Uni children play with these dolls as other children do. Any one who goes into a Uni habitation is certain to see a row of these dolls suspended from the ceiling. When not in 'use. they are hung up until wanted. La Infantile is a doll with a history. It is made of clay and is considered by its owner, a Mexican lady. and by hosts of other persons to be a worker of miracles. and quantities of costly gifts are constantly offered to it.

Magnetic Current is ita;ii t:,... :Ie -- placing Steam and Coin,,rersed A: . The New Yoiie Evening Post s.ys that electricity is rapidly repiacing steam and compressed air in mines all over the country. One after the other is taking up that kind of power, and it seems as if within a short spus-e of time most of the underground work would be carried on by electric force. There is no doubt of.its cheapness for drills as compared with other kinds of power. and it certainly is much more convenient. To bring steam or com- pressed air to the heading of tunnels, sometimes many hundred feet under- ground, it bas been necessary to build long pipes and to meet with delays through broken joints and many other accidents which are likely to happen to pipe lines. sin the other band, the elec- tric power wires are'flexible, do not re- quire to be laid in any particular way and are always ready for use.' One of the objections to the use of electricity instead of compressed air might be overcome without much trou- ble. In using the high explosives in the heading of a long tunnel where there is do means of ventilation the pipe which furnishes the air for the drills is left open, and the gases from the explosion are quickly driven out of the tunnel so that the men can get to work again in a short space of time. This has always been one of the great advantages of this method of drilling. This result can be reached as well with electricity by building a big exhaust blower at the mouth of the tunnel, using the electricity to drive it and clearing the tunnel of the noxious gas- es in even less time. Thus there would be a gain In time usually lost while welting for the air to clear as well as. in economy in running the drills. In the Cripple Creek mining district in Colorado the electric drill is malting More progress than in any other part of that mining belt. The Colorado Electric Power company, which has its plant at Canon City, has recently put electric hoisting engines in several mines and has made contracts for lighting and furnishing power to oth- ers. A lot of electric drills have been ordered by the company. and within 60 days it Is expected that they will be in operation in some of the mines. It is declared that the new drills will not only permit a saving of at least 50 per 1 cent in working cost. but will maintain a higher degree of efficiency. All points underground where the more cumber- some steam drill cannot reach the elec- tric drill maybe used with ease. Maximite. a New High Explosive. For some time past the United States government has been conducting ex- periments at the Sandy Hook proving grounds upon high explosives suitable for use as a bursting charge for shells. One of the explosives tested with ex- ceedingly favorable results is termed maximite. It Is the invention of Mr. Hudson Maxim. An explosive to be capable of use as a bursting charge in a projectile from a high power gur must manifestly be highly insensitive to both heat and shock. The govern - men! requires also that the susceptibil- ity of the explosive to chemical change shall be determined by subjecting it to a temperature of 165 degrees F.. con- tinued for a period of 15 minutes. It is stated that maximite may be ignited and will burn like a mass of asphalt, but without explosion. It may be stir- red with a white hot iron rod or niay even have molten cast iron poured up- on It without producing explosion. To determine the resistance of the explo- sive to shock a small quantity is placed under the hammer of a drop test ma- chine, and the hammer is let fall upon it from gradually increasing heights. If the material develops sufficient in- sensitiveness to shock, it is subjected to the crucial test of loading in a pro- jectile, which is then fired through a nickel steel armor plate. In the case of maximite a five inch shell was thus discharged. It passed through the plate and lodged in a sand butt behind, where it was recovered in- tact. It was then armed with a fuse and exploded. and the number of frag- ments is estimated at about 7,000. It will be obvious that the power of an explosive is well indicated by the ex- tent to which it pulverizes the shell in which it Is confined. In conducting these explosive tests small shells are exploded inside a steel chamber, while large ones are buried deeply in sand, and the fragments are recovered by sifting the sand. Maximite fuses at a temperature considerably below the boiling point of water. Its resistance to shock appears ppe rs to be much greater than that of lyddite, which was used by the English in the South African campaign. Shells charged with lyddite are exploded by contact with armor. An explosive like maximite, therefore, which will stand such a shock without explosion. should be proof against the shock of firing a gun and hence safe from danger of premature explosion while in the bowel of the gun.—Engi- neering News. tionipeii's Destroyer Active.

Some Novel Inventions. By the use of a recently patented in- haler sufferers from catarr bay fever and similar diseases maf treat them- selves at night, the time when affec- tions of the throat and head make the most formidable strides. The device consists of two absorbent pads connect- ed by a wire spring, the latter being bent to a shape convenient for attach- ment to the- central cartilage of the nose. With the idea of eliminating to some extent at least the disagreeable afflic- tion of seasickness two Englishmen have devised a self leveling chair. The chair is 'suspended from two rings working in a framework at right an- gles to each other, and it is claimed the chair w,11 remain level in the roughest sea. The idea Is also supplied to berths. Umbrellas or canes may be provided with a spring hook fixed just under the head by which they may be hung on a rack or hooked into the pocket when it is desired to use both hands for some other purpose. The hook is concealed when not In use, forming a smooth joint with the surface of the stick an is released by pressing a button. Late sleepers inay be interested in a German invention. An ordinary elec- tric alarm is connected with contact points underneath the bed, the weight of the sleeper forcing them together and forming a circuit. When the alarm is released, the bell continues ringing till the weight is removed and the cir- cuit broken. Comfort "In cold weather is insured by a combined carriage lamp and foot warmer. The lamp is placed below the body of the vehicle and is connected by a tube directly over the blaze with a warming chamber inside the body of the wagon on which the feet may be placed. Golf players may get rid of the cad- die by using a device patented in Eng- land. The caddie bag is provided with an inflated ball at the bottom and at the top has supporting legs which can be folded out of the way when not in use.

Hen Franklin In 1732 Printed the First Zeitung In America. The first newspaper printed in the German language in America was the Philadelphische Zeitung, published by Benjamin Franklin in the year 1732. The Pennsylvania Gazette for June 8-15, 1732, contains the following an- nouncemene: "The Gazette will come out on Mon- day next and continue to.be published on Mondays. "And on the Saturday following will be published Philadelphische Zeitung, or Newspaper in High Dutch, which will continue to be published on Satur- days once a fortnight. ready to be de- livered at Ten a Clock, to Country Sub- scribers. Advertisements are taken in by the Printer lierecf. or by Dir. Louis Timothee, Language Master. who trans- lates them." In undertaking chis new enterprise Franklin expected to secure a liberal support from the German population of the provincie, for whom he had been doing cousitl^ra;'.'c° printing, but in this he was flier • .sated. and the publica- tion of tht• Zt:iuttg was discontinued after a few 'lumbers had been issued. Tilt; Zeitung was a small sheet of four pages. ink by 9in hes thetext printed in double columns with Roman type, and at the bottom of the fourth page bore the imprint: "Philadelphia: Gedruckt bey B. Francklin in der Marck-strasse, wo diese Zeitungen vor 5 Shillings des Jahrs zu bekommen, and Advertisements zu bestellen sind." The- first number was issued June 10, 1732, and the send "Sonnabend den 24. Juni, 1732." The publication of the Zeitung, therefore, antedates by seven years the Hoch -Deutsch Pennsylva- nische Geschicht-Schrelber, published by Christopher Saur.—Chicago Times - Herald. Lost In Self Admiration. It happened in an "L" car. He was tall, handsome and just a little too well dressed and was reading a pitmphlet on which stood out in letters large enough to be plainly legible to the op- posite row of passengers the title, "Correct Dress." They all noticed him, for he was really beautiful. There was no doubt as to what he was reading. The passengers followed it almost line by line and knew just what part of the essay he bad reached. It began when his eyes left the book and glanced dubiously at his cloth top- ped patent leathers. He shook ht's bead slightly as he saw that the upper was of a trifle too pronounced a pat- tern. Next he took in his trousers, and a bland smile of satisfaction wreathed his face. There was a slight frown when he, compared his waistcoat with the haberdasher's manual, but his coat and hat were evidently irreproachable.

Simple Device For Deeorating Ei- ther Flat or Roundel Surfaces. A simple device by means of which painters can readily stripe flat or rounded surfaces, described by The Scientific American, is the Invention of Mr. George H. Allen of North Creek, N. Y. The striper consists of a paint reser- voir closed et one end by a screw cap provided with a vent hole controlled le an adjustable gate. At the other end of the reservoir a nozzle is located. Embracing the reservoir are two clips, .he upper of which is made of spring IMPROVED PAINT STRIPER. metal and receives between its ends a guide arm bent near its lower end. The second clip serves the purpose of holding a flat spring up on which a rocking arm is mounted, carrying at its lower end a sealing cup. The flat spring normally presses the sealing cup tightly against the nozzle to prevent the escape of paint from the reservoir. In order to stripe a surface with one or more straight lines the guide arm carried by the upper clip is adjusted so that its bent end engages the edge of the surface. As the device is drawn along the nozzle is opened by pressing the end of the rocking arm carried by the lower clip so as to bring the seal- ing cup upward. The merits of the de- vice are obvious. A Chinese Curiosity. "A Chinaman in San Francisco," says a gossiper in the Philadelphia Record, "showed me once an ivory ball as big as your two fists, with six smaller balls inside it. It was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said that the balls had been begun by his grandfather and that he was the third generation to work on them. He told me how the work was done. "It begins with a solid block of ivory, which is turned into a ball and then carved in a latticed pattern with tiny saw toothed knives. Through the lat- tice, with other knives that are bent in various shapes, the second ball is carv- ed, but is kept fast to the first one by a thin strip of ivory left at the top and by another left at the bottom. Then the third ball, with still finer knives, is tackled through the first and second ones. and so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips that Bold them firm are cut away, and they all revolve freely, one inside the other. "This Chinaman said it was a com- mon thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years—grandfa- ther, father, son and grandson working on them when they had nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some' cheap balls are made of vegetable ivo- ry, being carved while the material Is soft, like a potato. These, though, are not worth more than a few dollars at the most." The Evolution of the Pocket. The ancient wore a single pouch at his belt. The modern has—how many pockets in an ordinary costume for out- doors? Let us count them: In the trousers five, In the waistcoat five, in the jacket five, in the overcoat five, making20 in all,full a u 1 score of little pokes or bags, and arranged so conven' gently that they are scarce noticed. Truly this is an evolution! How long may it be before we have pockets in our hatbands—where the Irisbman car- ries his pipe. the American soldier his toothbrush and internally the pettifog- ger his legal papers, the papers that his predecessors in England thrust Into the typical "green bag?" How long before there may be pockets in our gloves—for there are, I believe, patents covering this invention—and in our shoes? The cane also, with its screw top, begins to be a useful receptacle. Two centuries from now, so the man with a long foresight can clearly see, the main idea underlying the wearing of clothes will have entirely changed. The chief purpose of garments will no longer be considered to protect the body. They will be regarded first of all as textile foundations for innumerable pockets.—Tudor Jenks in Woman's Home Companion. Peculiarities of x Rays. There are many curious things about X rays which seem to puzzle even the scientists. Signor Briguiti, who has been making experiments with them at Rome. says that the visibility of a sub- stance to the eye is no criterion of its visibility to the X rays. The rays can- not see through glass, which is trans- parent to the eye, whereas aluminium, which is opaque to the eye, is transpar- ent to the X rays. The rays can see a splinter of glass in the band, but not a splinter of wood. Most inks are trans- parent to the rays, including printer's ink, but some of them are opaque. The rays can see through a postoffice direct- ory, but If a paper with words written on it be put in the middle of the direct- ory the rays will reveal these words and nothing behind them.

The solemn and impressive custom of announcing death by the tolling of the church bell will soon be but a vague and distant memory. "The passing bell" has itself passed away, and its slow measured accents no longer tell the story of the departure of one more soul. The brief notice in the daily pa- per, while it conveys explicit informa- tion, fails to give something that the bell's tolling carried with it. The sol- emn rhythmic tones awakened a mo- mentary vibration in the breast of each listener and bade each pause for sym- pathy and meditation. The bell ad- monished the sinner to repent and warned the thoughtless that time was flying while it spoke clearly and com- prehensively and bade all scattered and preoccupied inhabitants attend its story. The bell's voice is identified with all the deepest and most sacred human emotions. It has bespoken the joys and sorrows of all mankind for centuries. Is its voice to die away and have no part in the life of the future? The wedding bells ring out no more save in some song or story. The Christmas chimes are seldom wafted -to our ears. The church bells ring but faintly now and under constant protest. "The cur- few tolls the knell of parting day" only in verse. A sunset gun today gives greater satisfaction. The angelus sounds merely In pictorial form, the fire bells give place to still alarms, the dinner bell is silenced in polite society, and sleigh bells are discarded. What is the future of the bell—that happy silver tongue that has sung out the joys of all the world, that solemn tone that has mourned for the nation's dead and voiced the nation's woes and summoned to their knees the nation's worshipers?—Atlantic Monthly. QUARRIES OF OLD EGYPT. Where Stone For Pyramids of the Desert Was Procured. On the way to Philae and the head of the cataract, a short distance south of Assouan, we come upon the ancient quarries which supplied the granite for the columns, statues and obelisks throughout Egypt for many centuries. An obelisk which we saw lies in its native bed. It is 95 feet in length, and three- sides have been carefully cut, but for some unknown reason it was never separated entirely from the par- ent rock. The surface bears the tool marks of the workmen. The grooves in it show that it was to have been re- duced at the sides. It was supposed that the stone was split from its bed by drilling holes in the rock and filling them with wooden wedges, which were afterward saturated with 'rater, the swelling wood furbishing the power. From illustrations in the temples it is clear that these great monuments were floated down the river on flatboats and rafts and then carried inland by arti- ficial canals or dragged overland by thousands of slaves. In one of the tombs at Beni -Hassan is a picture 11- lustrating the process. The great stone is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a multitude of workmen. One man is en- gaged in pouring water upon the run- ners to prevent friction; another stands at the left of the statue and beats time, that the men may work in unison, while overseers, provided with whips, urge the laborers to their task. What king desired to extricate this block from the quarry, why it was left here, what it was to commemorate, we can never know. The riddle of the sphinx is solved, but the riddle of the obelisk in the quarry will no doubt remain with us forever.—Chautauquan. To Avoid a Total Loss. A Pittsburg man tells of a visit he made at a thrifty homeme in a nearby town. The call was quite a pleasant one and during the evening "Abey," the hopeful son of the family, was sent to the cellar for refreshments for the guests. He could be heard grop- ing his way through the dark, and then came the noise of something fall- ing and the crash of glass. "Abey's" mother was plainly uneasy, but she assumed the unnatural composure which her society duties demanded. Soon "Abey" came up with an armful of bottles. "What was that noise we heard, 'Abey'?" asked the mother. "Nothing much," replied "Abey." "I knocked over a bottle of milk and it rolled down the steps and spilled." "Did you call the cat, `Abet'"?" asked the thrifty woman.—Pittsburg News. Frequent Vaccination. Although almost absolute immunity is secured for a period of six months by vaccination, there is no certainty that its effects will continue beyond that time. In the majority of cases it does, but the interval for which this additional benefit is enjoyed is variable. Hence those who have studied the matter most carefully recommend a fresh operation if more than six months have elapsed since the list one, if a person Is liable to be subjected to peril, as in time of an epidemic.— New York Tribune.

DEFECTIVE PAGE ,.1111 8t. Helena. In the old days—not good old days— when East Indiamen went round the Cape, St. Helena was a great port of call and of revictualing. It was prosperous then, and when in 1815 Napoleon the Great came there as a prisoner its prosperity was at its zenith. The government had no con- trol over it. The Island belonged to the East India company, and it was only by arrangement with the board of directors that it could have been used as a place of deportation for the mighty emperor. Why was it so well fitted for the purpose? It is in mid - ocean, a thousand and more miles from any continent. Its coast rises up in precipitous rock from the ocean. Escape, save at the risk of a broken neck, would be al- most impossible. Only at one place, Jamestown, on the northeastern coast, could any boat hope to land, and even there wily If the elements are kind. This is not always so, There is the roller season. Great rollers come in from the south Atlantic, and often for days there can be little or no com- munication between an anchored vessel and the rough steps at the end of an embarkation quay. What St. Helena was between 1815 and 1821 it Is now, a safe prison. Once a month a Castle Union steamer calls for a few hours, lands and takes off the mails, discharges one or two offi- cials or receives them homeward bound, and that is all.—Imperial and Colonial Magazine. Her Name on the Bell. Dwellers in apartment houses, like merchants in a shall town, are con- stantly on the watch for newcomers, and the daily doings in each of the great number of such houses in this city afford subjects of gossip for the persons who live therein. Even the posting up of a new name in a letter box or on the outer door of one of the apartments is noticed and commented on. In an up town apartment house one day recently the occupants of the house noticed that a card on which was written the name "Maud —" had been placed in the letter box of a family which had occupied one of the apart- ments for more than a year. There was considerable speculation among the other dwellers in the house as to who the newcomer was. Finally one of the women in the house in question met the wife ofthe owner of the letter bcPx in whirl) the new name had been posted ane remarked: "I suppose you hare a friend visiting you. I notice that another name has been placed in your letter box." "Oh, no," exclaimed the woman ad- dressed, "that card bears on it the name of my new maidservant. She re- fused to stay with us unless her name was posted up in the box." She is a good servant, and such a one is hard to obtain.—New York Sun. Where the Dress Money Goes. Do you know where goes the money you pay for an expensive gown? It is divided in a manner that may surprise you unless you are initiated by some one, as I was by a bookkeeper of a large New York establishment which affects all that is extreme In fashion and expense. A $600 creation was tak- en as an example. You pay $600 for the gown, and the money goes into a number of hands. Those who performed the labor in put- ting the dress together after it left the cutter's hands do not get more than $15. The material will cost $150, while the administrative, originative genius at the head of the establishment re- ceives $100 for imparting his concep- tion to his stair. This staff of men and women, with suavity of manner, busi- ness experience, tact and talent that will satisfy the judicious as well as the frivolous, will get $150. Then about $40 is for interest on capital and mon- ey outstanding, to which must be add- ed $55 for bad debts. Those who do pay must pay for those who do not pay, and no establishment is too fashionable or too high toned to have unpaying debtors on its books. Now we have a cost of $510, which when deducted from the $600 you paid leaves $90 net profit.—New York Herald. Altitudes Reached by Balloonists. During the Paris exposition a large number of balloon ascensions were made, and the most recent devices In aeronautics were given practical tests. In one of these trials a number of bal- loons ascended with the object of as- certaining which could reach the great- est altitude and remain In the sir for the longest period. Count de la g Vaulx, to whom was awarded the grand prize for aeronautics, made a journey lasting 35 hours and 45 min- utes from Vincennes, the starting place, to Korostichev, in Russia, a dis- tance of 1,925 kilometers, or about 1,284 miles, attaining a maximum alti- tude of 5,700 meters (18,696 feet). The next performance In order of merit was that of M. Jacques Bolsun, who reached a maximum altitude of 6, meters (21,451.2 feet) and descended 1,345 kilometers (about 856 miles) from the starting point after a journey of 27 hours and 5 minutes. M. Jacques Faure occupied 19 hours and 24 min- utes in his journey and went as far as 950 kilometers from Paris, descend- ing in Germany.—New York Evening Pose. Destruction of Birds by Hnrr/.sae. 1 Nature notes a remarkable fact in connection with the West Indian hur- ricane of September, 1898.

On the top of Bald Eagle mountain,' just where the old turnpike breaks over the brow down into Black Hole valley, is a queer field of rock, which years ago was christenee•The Devil's Turnip Patch." The rocks, which are of a reddish sandstone, have a striking peculiarity of all standing on end, thus forming a jagged, irregular surface, that won for it its queer name from the early settlers. In bygone days, when the stages wheeled their way up from Northum- berland to Williamsport, the four in hands traversed the old pike that skirts the turnip patch, and the strange gar- den of rocks was a constant source of wonderment to the traveler. Added to its interest as a natural curiosity is a hidden stream of water somewhere beneath the standing stones, the noisy flowing of which forms a romantic song beneath one's feet. Nobody knows where the source of this stream is, nor can anybody find where it emp- ties itself ante Black Hole valley. The rock field covers an area of two or three acres, with its widest part to the north, then narrowing down V shaped to the south, where the angle is lost in a fringe of stunted hemlocks and elders. Theorists have figured on the cause of this mountain freak, but the theory obtaining most credence is that It is a legacy of the glacial age,' the rocks being a collection pushed into their present vertical position by the moving ice.—Philadelphia Record. Trying a Donkey. A newcomer in Africa has many surprises. A. B. Lloyd, the author of "Dwarf Land and Cannibal Country," narrates an amusing little experience of his own in purchasing a donkey in Zanzibar: We had to procure donkeys, by no means an easy task. Of course each one had to be tried, as we were to use them for riding purposes, and in the course of the work we had various ex- periences. I had set my mind upon a fine female donkey and took her out for an afternoon's ride. I shall Rot forget it. At first when I mounted her she would not move, in spite of ell my most tender persuasions, and final- ly she began to back. Now, the streets of Zanzibar are very narrow, and coming up behind me was a large bullock wagon. My sweet tem- pered donkey backed right on to the horns of the bullocks. Then it was no longer a case of making her go, but of making her stop. Away she flew, right along the Naza Moja road, and nothing I could do would check her headlong Career. In fact, I soon tired of trying and let her go. On she went, right in among the cocoanut trees, regardless of every- thing until she came to a steep bank. Here she stopped. This showed that she had good sense, and I decided to keep her. Queer Oaths. The Isle of Man, like the soldier In Jacque's familiar speech, is "full of strange oaths." Mr. Shee, Q. C., before beginning his judicial duties as special commissioner in connection with the Dunbell case was required to swear that be would administer justice as impartially "as the herring's backbone doth lie in the middle of the fish." The Isle of Man is not the only place in the world in which the animal kingdom plays a part in the making of oaths. One of the many mots in which Chi- nese witnesses are impressed wlth the importance of telling the truth is slicing off the head of a fowl, a cere- mony which is supposed to represent the unhappy fate of the perjurer. Many Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers' skins, in the belief that if they defile their lips with lies their bodies will become food for tigers, while others stand on lizards' skins and ask that their bodies shall be covered with the scales of the reptiles if they fail to tell the truth. A Norwegian witness asks that his meadows and cattle shall be cursed if he swears falsely. "Cursed be my cattle," he exclaims, "my beasts, my sheep, so that after this day they may never thrive or benefit me; yea, cursed may I be and everything l; pos- sess."—London Globe. Grows In a Sealed Flask. In the botanical garden of Berlin is to be seen a cactus which has grown for seven years in a glass flask sealed by fusion. The growth of the plant was expected by the fact that the soil in which It grows contains a certain quantity of spores of fungi, which cov- er the sides of the flask with a greenish ;Mayer. These in dying furnish the car- bonic acid necessary for the life of the cactus. Another question which is more difficult to answer Is the origin of the water which is necessary to main- tain the life of the plant. This may be derived from the decomposition of the cellulose. However these questions may be answered, the fact remains that the plant lives and develops in a hermetically closed medium. The ex- periment is not difficult to carry out. and its study may lead to interesting results.—New York Evening Telegram. # Zeppelin's Airship. More time, endeavor and money have undoubtedly been put Into the Zeppelin airship than into any previous enter- prise of this nature. It is 30 years since Count Zeppelin first turned his attention to the airship as an engine of war, and those who were making ex- periments in flight by means of aero- planes were inclined to look upon him as a vi>ilonary.

LAMP CHIMNEYS. leade In This Country by Millions An. anally For Home Use and Export. "The lamp chimney," said a man ac- quainted with the trade, "seems a sim- ple sort of thing, but there are not iaaany things of more common use the world over; and in the aggregate the number sold is enormous. In this coun- try there are 12,000 men and boys em- ployed in making lamp chimneys, and the chimneys produced number mil- lions annually. The greater number are now made west the Alleghany mountains in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, where the majority of the glass works of the country are located, many of them in the natural gas re- gion"Ths, e first glass works in the country were -Established in Boston, and former- ly the glass making industry was prin- cipally in the east. Now there are not nearly so many glass factories here as there once were. "Qne not familiar with the business might be.surprised with the great vari- ety in which latp chimneys are made. Lamps are made in these days in very great variety by many makers, and of course there are made chimneys suita- ble for all of them. There is one Amer - lean lamp chimney maker who, count- ing sizes and styles, produces 000 varie- ties. Among the great variety of chim- neys made there are some that are of common use everywhere, and then there are some that are specially suited to demands in this or that part of the country and are not in demand in other parts. "Lamp chimneys are not only made in far greater variety than formerly, to fit perfectly every sort of lamp, but they are also made better than ever. In fact, lamp chimneys have advanced with everything else. But enormous and increasing as the production is, the demand scarcely keeps pace with the increase in the population, this being especially true of cities_in which gas is more and more used and—Sere in New York, for instance, by, users through slot gas machines, which have some in- fluence on the sale of lamp chimneys. Still the number of lamps used here is enormous. There are plenty of people burning gas, for instance, who have as well three or ]spur lamps, and the num- ber of people here who use lamps alone for the purpose of illumination is very great. There are used in Rew York and its vicinity millions of lamp chim- neys annually. "There are received in this city from western manufacturers for domestic consumption I suppose about four car- loads of chimneys weekly, running from 1,500 to 2,000 dozen chimneys to Alae car. These are sold to jobbers, who distribute them through tkeir trade to customers in the city aid hereabout and to customers at greater or less dis- tances away. Perhaps half of these chlmneys or rather more are used in the city or within 50 miles of it. To the chimneys thus brought here are to be added those produced here, the eastern chimneys being made chiefly for the local trade and for export. "We import a few lamp chimneys of the cheapest and of the best grades, the cheap chimney from Germany and the co-stlier from France, but these im- ports cut only a small figure in the to- tal consumption, and we export lamp chimneys in great quantities. We send very few to Europe, though we do sell them some of our best chimneys. But outside of Europe we sell lamp chim- neys everywhere. We come into com- petition in some parts of the world with the Germans, who make chim- neys very cheaply, but our exports are increasing, and we send chimneys, as I said, everywhere—to Mexico, the West Indies, South America, South Africa, China—in fact, to all lands in which lamps are used, all around the earth."—New York Sun. King Richard Ia a Kitchen. "Actors of the old school did not have the gorgeous stage settings of the present," said a veteran stage manager the other night as he gazed at the stage is Ford's Opera House while in a reminiscent mood. "I remember once we were playing southern towns with Edwin Booth and wanted to put on 'Richest II.' No special scenery was carried for this, and I was told to look over the stock at the theater to see if there was any that could be used. The sllehond scene called for the en- trance of the king and all his couriers into a royal hall. I picked out a set of scenery that I thought would do for the palace, but cautioned the stage hands not to get it on wrong side out. Well, the first scene was finished, and when the stage was disclosed for the second there was the typical old kitdh- en scene, the one with hams hanging from the rafters, slrandlestick on the mantel and all that. I was horrified and asked Mr. Booth if we should change it by ringing down the curtain. Ile said no, he would go on, but he cautioned the other players to 'keep your eyes on me; don't under any con- sideration look behind you at the scen- ery.' "Well, the scene went off, and after- ward, when I asked some of those in the front of the house, they made no comment, and I was convinced that in the intensity of the acting they had not noticed that the king was in the kitch- en instead of the palace."—Baltimore Sun. Bedlam. The word "bedlam" is a corruption of the word "Bethlehem" and originat- ed as a synonym for chaos at the time When the hoose of Bethlehem, occu- pied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treatment of the insane in the early part of the six- teenth century was not well under- stood, and, according to the theories then prevalent, it was necessary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. All sorts of awful expedients were re- sorted to, among them "surprise floors," which slipped from under the feet; "surge baths" and floggings at the periods of most severe illness; hence the name "bedlam," the result of in- correct spelling, possibly, came easily to stand for awful things. When potatoes were first introduced In Germany, they were for a long time, like tomatoes, cultivated merely as a curiosity. No one ate them, even pigs 'Wash= them. The Skin and the Lungs. "That the skin is intimately connect- ed onnected with the lungs is proved by the fact that our minor ills of the respira- tory tract—colds, for instance—are al- most always traceable to a checking df the perspiration, so that the impuri- ties of the blood poison us," says Har- vey Sutherland, in Ainslee's. "Every- body knows the story about the little boy that was covered with gold leaf as a cherub for some Roman pomp and how he died in agony a few hours afterward. The poisons manufactured by his own organisms slew him, to say nothing of his suffocation. Burns involving more than one-third of the general surface are fatal because the excretory powers of the skin are less- ened beyond the abilities of the other depuratory organs to make u➢ for. "Varnish an animal and it will die in from six to twelve hours, say some authorities. This incontrovertible fact is matched by another equally incontro- vertible—that nobody ever heard of any case of tarring and feathering that killed the victim. He might have had all kinds of trouble in getting the stuff off, and he might have felt a shock to his pride, but he didn't die that any- body ever heard of. I never assisted at a ceremony of this kind at either end of the joke, and so I can't speak as to the completeness with which the body is covered with the tar, but from my general knowledge of the character of the people of the west and south- west, where such sports are freely in- dulged in, I Oould say that it would most likelyoW a thorough and compre- hensive pigmentation. It may be that the man breathes through the quills of the feathers stuck on, but I doubt it. I should think tar would seal up the pores of the skin quite as effectually as varnish, and it is a paint warranted to wear in all weathers and not to crack or scale off," A Caroline Islands Legend. The Caroline islands group includes besides coral islands five mountainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs. Among the many queer legends of these children of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the Wiien of these is- lands and their inhabitants. They think they themselves were very strong in the water—in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoul- ders. He had started out to make an island with a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him, "Give us a little soil to make a place for out mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot swim." He took out a handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island. As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole in the bas- ket, so as he proceeded on his way he left a trail of land behind. Suddenly he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the is- lands were formed. What Happened to Jones. What Happened to Jones is the attrac- tion at the Yanz Theatre Jan. 17th. It is a catchy title, and one calculated to arouse curiosity. The lines are said to be unusually bright and witty, and tie humor flows in a steady stream during the entire progress of the play. Jones is a drummer. While attending a prize fight the place is raided by the police, and Jones makes his escape with a misty pro- fessor of anatomy, Ebenezer Goodly, who has been induced`to attend the fight by his prospective son in law, who has de- cidedly sporty proclivities. Jones bobs up serenely in the home of Goodly, and refuses to leave for fear of the police. He passes himself off as the Bishop of Ballarat, a brother of the professor who is expected to arrive from Australia al- most at any moment, much to the dis- comforture of the professor, who, how- ever, is afraid to expose Jones for fear of the prize fight episode. Jones receives much attention at the hands of the pro- fessor's wife and pretty daughters, and all is lovely until the real bishop arrives, and then matters become more complica- ted, but the drummer is equal to the emergency, and the play ends with the knight of the grip in possession of the girls and the undisputed master of the situation.

Hastings. Minn. I WANT MONEY TO LOAN. rfHE BRAINS OF THE NORTH, Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call yosr attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, withi a short time, not more than three or three d one-half per cent is to be depended upon. owever, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 810,000 on city property, ecause it requires just :as much detail t kee the records of a mort- gage for MD as ow for 000. 'therefore, for a bine at least, it is os ble to obtain six per cent on small loans fr WOO to 35,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less tnan 1810,000; and I have many applications for loans of from 8300 to !(45,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender. in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor. Very respectfully yours; V. C. GILMAN.

The distant stars in all the sky are bright, The gentle winds sing songs of peace tonight And earth in quiet peacefulness is dressed; When, lo, from out the distant !best The rumbling voice of thunder deep Proclaims the storm god; lightnings leap From the dark horizon, playing O'er the western trees that, swaying Wildly, tell the storm god's power; Over all the heavens tower The great gray clouds, and rapidly The stars are blotted from the sky, While rains incessant bent The ground like tiny feet, And the thunder Breaks asunder All the quiet of the night, And the forked lightnings bright Turn to day The misty way Of the gray clouds' dripping path. Then the wild storm's aftermath Follows gently, and, behold, The stars are shining as of old, The trees are by soft winds caressed, And earth in peacefulness is dressed. -International Magazine, [iWIi'SGAPTURE B1 MAX BEIVNETT THRASHER. t b', Early one August afternoon a well dressed, businesslike looking man, car- rying a small leather handbag, walked up the principal street of the village of Graytown. In the basement of the big, old fashioned country clnrrch which he approached a small door stood open. Turuiug from the sidewalk, he entered this door. Once out of sight from the street he ran hurriedly ri upsalv a flight g of stairs and then found himself in the vestibule, which was dusky and cool after the garish light g outside. IIs looked in. One door of the audience room was open. The sexton was sweeping the aisle and coming toward him. He tried a door at the end of the vestibule, but this was locked. Steps echoing through the empty building told hint that some one was cooling In at the same door by which he had entered. The man hur- riedly pulled at a small door in the wall. It opened into what seemed to be a tall, narrow closet, down through the middle of which a stout wire rope ran into a rough stone floor. Cramped as these quarters were, the man crowded himself in. holding the leather bag close to his side, and pulled the door shut after him. Not more than three or four seconds elapsed before a young man walked rapidly through the vestibule to the open door of the audience room. "Oh. Mr. Jackson," he called to the man sweeping, "may I go up and wind the clock? It's the day to wind it, I know." "May you? Why. certainly if you want to," was the reply. "Fiore are the keys," and he slid the bunch of keys along the floor of the aisle. The boy, Rodney Galvin, picked up the keys, unlocked the door at the end of the vestibule and went clattering up a flight of stairs which the open door disclosed. By that time the sexton had reached the vestibule and, whistling as he worked, begareto sweep it. Rodney Galvin so far had been a dis- appointment to his family. His father was determined he should be a busi- ness man, his mother had hoped that be would be a minister, but Rodney, so his father said, wrathfully, cared only for "tinkering." He doctored all the disabled bicycles in town, and a broken watch or clock gave him joy. When he bad been refused a position in the bank a month before and Harry Grant had been taken instead, Rodney's only re- gret was that he should not have an op- portunity to investigate the time lock on the bank safe. He watched for chalices to -wind the town clock, for he liked to studiy its works. On this day he went with practiced tread up the dark stairs behind the gal- lery, along the narrow board walk laid across the beams in the garret floor, up another long flight of rude steps, and then he climbed the almost perpendicu- lar ladder which led to the clock room. Around hila were backs of the four great dials up to which the citizens of Graytown looked • n they wished to set the' wate es. The works of the clock were in the middle of the room. Taking a big movable iron crank from the floor, Rodney fitted it up to the end of the arbor, or spindle, and began turning it to wind up the stout wire rope to which one of the clock weights was fastened. The town clock of Graytown is near- ly as old as the church in which it is placed, but the people of the village cherish It and would not think of hav- ing it replaced by one of more modern style. As a consequence the sexton of the church had to climb up to the clock room in the spire once every week un- less he could get some one to go for him and wind up from the basement, to which they had spent the previous week in descending, the blocks of gran- ite that served as clock weights. It seemed to Rodney this afternoon as if the machinery worked uncommon- ly hard, and after turning the crank a few times he dropped it and went back down stairs. "I think that pulley needs greasing," he said. "I never knew the old clock to wind so bard." • "I shouldn't wonder but what it does," was the sexton's answer. "I haven't got a bit of oil here, though," Ile added. "I've got some down to the house that'll do," said the boy. "I'll go and get it." "All right," said the sexton. "If I get through before you come back, I'll leave the doors unlocked and the keys on the window sill." "There isn't anything the matter with the weights, is there?" asked Rod- ney, opening the narrow door whicb gave access to the shaft in which one of the clock weights ran from belfry to basement. There was nothing to be seen. The square block of stone which just filled the space had been wound up out of sight When he went out on the street, Rod- ney found people wildly excited. The national bank had been robbed. The teller was out of town, and while the cashier had been at dinner Harry Grant, the clerk, had been knockjd senseless and the robbery effected. Seventeen hundred dollars in money and many valuable papers were gone. Little Mary Grant reported having leather naudbag. Harry Grant was still too stunned to talk coherently. Rodney hurried on for the oil. He wanted to get back, wind the clock and lock the church and then join in the search for the robber. Oiling the pulley did not seem to tnake it work much easier. There was a small opening at the top of the shaft through which the weight could be seen when it was raised into place. Watching this opening as he toiled at the crank, Rodney saw appearing not the block ofranite, but a man's head. He dropped the crank.`" If the ma- chinery had not worked automatically, man and wc!ght might have fallen to the basement. "How did you get In there?" Rodney gasped. "No matter," said the man. "I'11 give you $100 if you'll help me out and say nothing about it." "How did you get in there?" Rodney repeated. When he had been down on the street, he had heard the little girl who had seen the bank robber telling a group of excited people that the strange man hada smooth ooth fa gce wore a brown derby hat. This had a smooth face and wore a bro derby hat. "You are the bank robber!" said R ney. "You help me out, and I'll mak $200," said the man. "Are you the man that robbed bank?" "You get nle out of this trap!" The man kicked savagely against inside of the shaft and, bracing him as well as he could in the cram space, tried to burst the walls ap The joints creaked, but the strength six men could not have broken eut planks of which the shaft was built. "You better stop that wiggling there;" said Rodney. "The rope is fastened any too solid through t rock. If you yank it out, you and rock will go down to the basement' gether. It's 73 feet down there." The "wiggling" stopped, and man's face appeared at the hole aga The openin ' was not more than eig inches square, and only the head of t captive was even with it. but a m ment later the muzzle of a revol came up into sight beside his fa Before the man could get his caamp arm and hand into aiming positi Rodney, quick as a flash, knocked t catch out of a ratchet in the cloc works and, graspi0e the crank, turn it backward until he had lowered b prisoner far enough down the shaft that he could do no harm. Feeling sure that his prisoner w safe for the present, Rodney decided go for help. Some boys would have rushed fro the church, shouting, "I've got him but Rodney walked carelessly down til street with his bands in his pocke and joined the outer edge of a crow in front of the bank. A hastily print notice on which the ink was not y dry announced that the bank wou pay $500 for the capture of the robbe with his plunder. The town added a other $100 to the reward. Rodney's fingers twisted nervous in his pockets. Six hundred dollar That meant for him the Institute Technology. If he asked for help secure the man, he could claim on1 part of the reward. He left the group of excited men a ietly as be bad come and went to shop near by. The proprietor wa t, but Rodney knew him and th ace well. He quickly found th ings he wanted and took them - all portable furnace with a charcoa e in it, a long handled skillet use r melting lead and a handful of su ur.

The Filipino re- quested that some favor be extended to his district, and his request wa granted. He then withdrew. The offi tial who had procured the presents tion asked him what he thought of the general. "Why," replied the visitor in a tone of disappointment, "be is no different from any other white man." It so happened that the general was told of the incident, and he gave or- ders that at his next reception the Filipino should be present. Upon entering the throneroom and seeing the general in full uniform, surrounded by his brilliant staff, with the, accessories sone s o ! splendid p d tapestries, lace ushers and all the pomp and splendor of these Spanish functions, the provincial grew pale and, kneeling in deep humility, exclaimed: "This is indeed my general!" So impressed was he that the fol- lowing morning he sent a pair of hand- some horses to the general with a note which read: "My general, yesterday I liked you so much in your uniform of gold that I send you this pair of horses, but do not use them when you dress in a white suit." AN EASY GOING BEAR. Photographing a Big Grissly In the Yellowstone Park. I said to my cowboy friend, "Do you know this bear?" He replied: 'Waal, I reckon I do. That's the old grizzly.

I sat down on the a garbage and made ready -18 yards -16 yards - 12 yards -8 yards, and still he came, while the pitch of Johnny's s protes iss kept rising proportionately. Finally ' at five yards he stopped and swung his huge bearded bead to one side to see what was making that aggravat- ing row in the tree top, giving me a profile view, and I snapped the camera. At the click he turned on me with a thunderous g -r -o -w-1, and I sat still and trembling, wondering if my last moment had come. For a second he glared at me, and I could note the lit- tle green electric lamp In each of his eyes. Then he slowly turned and pick- ed up a large tomato can. "Goodness," I thought, "Is he going to throw that at me?" But he delib- erately licked it out, dropped it and tool: another, paying thenceforth ceforth n o heed whatever either to me or to John- ny, evidently considering us equally beneath th ills notice. -E. Seton -Thomp- son in Scribner's. Mirror Mad. "What!" exclaims the astonished reader, "is it possible that there are any civilized persons on the !ace of the earth who are not in the habit of be- holding their visages reflected from time to time in a mirror of some kind? Surely this cannot be so." Wrong, quite wrong, gentle reader, for at the present time, strange as it may ap- pear, there are hundreds of men and women in the United Kingdom who have not gazed into a mirror for years. The convicts confined in British pris- ons form members of this community. From the moment of a convict's en- trance to a jail to the moment of his exit he is not permitted to lave the use of a mirror of any kind. the small- est piece of glass being rigidly denied him. To the women convicts this ab- sence of a mirror forms one of the chief hardships of confinement, and many a female warder can tell piteous tales of women who have actually fall- en upon their knees and sobbed out entreaties for the loan of a morsel of mirror -"just for a second." All these entreaties have perforce to be disre- gaaded, and It therefore comes about that many a female convict passes three or four years without being per- mitted to gaze upon her own features. -London Tit -Sits. IIe Got a Pats, "Halt!" cried an alert patrolman in Manila as a beautifully caparisoned carriage drove up containing a portly gentleman. The driver reined his steeds, and the sentry, standing firmly in the center of the street. shouted, "Who is there?" Not knowing what else to say, the occupant of the carriage answered, "Judge Taft, president of the civil commission." "Advance, Judge Taft, to be recog- nized," bawled the sentry. The judge advanced, and the following dialogue took place: Sentry -Have you a pass? Taft -No, sir; do I require one? Sentry -You do, sir. and it's my duty to run you in. Taft -But I am the civil governor of the Philippine Islands. Sentry -That doesn't cut any figure. You're a civilian and out after hours. I'll let you go by this time, but the next time I catch you you'll have to see the captain," "Thank you," murmured Judge Taft as he drove away. And there and then he formed a resolution to put in an application for a pass. According to the Manila Freedom, he got it. A Couple of Bulls.

"I frequently bear you say that mon- ey talks," ebe remarked. "Yes; It is an old saying and a true one," he replied; "but, unfortunately, while money talks, all that talks is not money." "Why do you say 'unfortunately?"' she asked. "Because if that were so," he an- swered, "I would be married to a fab- ulous fortune." -London Fun. The Equinoxes. The equinoctial storms are no longer believed in by scientific persons. The equinoxes are the dates of the year when the sun crosses the equator at one of the equinoctial points. They oc- cur about March 21 and Sept. 21, and, though storms have been known to oc- eur about those times, they are no longer considered as due to the per- fectly natural occurrence of the cross- ing.

While the first stone of Cologne ca- thedral was laid on Aug. 15, 1248, and the body of the edifice was not opened until Aug. 15, 1848, 600 years later to the very day, it was not, however, un- til Aug. 15, 1880, that the splendid structure was finally reported complet- ed, having thus occupied in building the record time of exactly 632 years. The castle of Kingsgoberg, which stands at the southern extremity of Jutland, took 204 years from the laying of the foundation stone to the rigging of its master's banner on its highest flagstaff. Its foundation stone was the skull of its builder's bitterest enemy. Three mouths after its laying Count Jhorsing, the builder,of the castle, was killed. His son was then !n swaddling clothes. He did not continue his fa- ther's work until aged 24. On his twenty-fifth birthday he was thrown into prison by the son of the Ulan whose skull lay in the earth of Kingsgoberg's foundation stone. In this manner master after master of lCIngsgoberg was stopped putting an- other stone toward the completion of the founder's work till civilization in- tervened. Restormel castle, in Cornwall, took 90 years to build, of which period ex- actly one-third was occupied in exca- vating the foundations. The solid rock upon which it stands is almost as hard as iron. Indeed Restormel means in Cornish "the palace of the iron rock." Milan cathedral was begun 1n 1386 and finished under Napoleon in 1805, 419 years. The Duomo, at Florence, was com- menced by Arnulfo in the year 1294, the last block of marble being placed in position in the facade in presence of the king on May 12, 1887, a period of 593 years. ---Stray Stories. Kent and Burr. James Kent, whose famous "Com- mentaries on American Law" is class- ed with Blackstone as the greatest textbook on law, was a great admirer of Alexander Hamilton, and when the great Federalist was killed by Aaron Burr in a duel he became the implaca- ble enemy of the latter. One day long afterward when in New York the judge saw Burr on the opposite side of Nassau street. He went across the street as fast as his years would per- mit and, brandishing his cane in Burr's face, shouted: "You're a scoundrel, sir, a scoundrel, a scoundrel!" Burr proved equal to the emergency. He raised his hat and bowed to the ground and then said in his calmest professional tone, "The opinions of the learned chancellor are always entitled to the highest consideration." -Argo- naut Working the Head of the Fatally.

Exchange. How a Z1 Stopped a Dogfight. On one of the most pleasant side streets of Cleveland live two dogs -a large, dignified hound and a saucy, small fox terrier. The two are the beat of friends, and the big dog is al- ways watching over the little one and doing his best to keep the pert fellow out of a fight. But the other day his watchfulness failed. Another terrier came and yelled defiance at the hound's comrade, and when the big dog arrived upon the scene it was to behold a frantic, tumbling, snapping heap, of which his favorite was part. He seemed to consider the state of things, then gave a sigh of patient dig- nity and began to walk around the combatants, keeping a critical eye on tbe struggle and evidently acting the part of umpire. His favorite was get- ting the worst of it, but he did not in- terfere. Maybe he thought the pun- ishment of defeat was better than any he coutd bestow. He watched silently till all at once bis friend gave a yelp of real pain and trouble. Then sud- denly the big dog awoke. With a bound he was beside the other two. With one tap of his paw he sent the victor over into the dust, grabbed his favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs her kitten and made off to his own back yard. During the next hour he licked, scold- ed and fondled the repentant terrier. And now the two are more devoted than ever, though the little dog seems more meek and decidedly more obedi- ent than of yore. -Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Faithful Dog, Many hundred years ago there lived at Athens a dog whose faithfulness has caused him to be mentioned in history, and in the Grecian city his story is often repeated. The dog guarded one of the heathen temples at Athens. One night a thief stole into this building and carried olT some of the most valuable treasures. The dog vainly barked his loudest to frighten the thief and to rouse the keepers as the man went off with the jewels. But the faithful dog did not mean to lose sight of the rascal, and all through the night he followed him. By daybreak the poor animal had be- come very weary. but still he kept the robber in sight. The latter tried to feed him, and as he made friends with the passersby he took it from them in- stead. Whenever the thief stopped to rest the dog remained near him, and soon. a report went through the coun- try of the animal's strange behavior. The keepers of the temple, hearing the story, went in search of the dog. and they found him still at the heels of the thief at a town called Cronyon. The robber was arrested. taken back to Athens and there punished- The judges were so pleased with the dog's sagacity and faithfulness that they or- dered him to be fed every day for the rest of his life at the public expense. Sure Enough Tale. In one of the private schools here in town there Is a small boy who is al- ways cheerfully miles behind every- body else. He is not a dull boy, but learning does not appeal to him as be- ing a thing especially to be desired. Recently the teacher told the class in composition that on the next day she would expect each of them to be able to write a short anecdote. She ex- plained with great care the meaning of the word anecdote, and next day when she called the class up to write all but the laggard went at once to work. "Why don't you write an anecdote, Rob?" asked the teacher. "I forget what an anecdote is." said Rob, undisturbed. "I explained to you yesterday, Rob, and you ought to remember," said the teacher, a bit out of patience. "An anecdote is a tale. Now write." Rob bent over his slate and, with mucb twisting of brow and writhing of Hp ground out his task. When the slates were collected, his was at the very top of the heap. The teacher picked it up, and this is what she read: "Yesterday we had soup made from the anecdote of an ox." -Youth's Com- panion. The Shoe and the Woman.

A young doWil town drug clerk who had heard the story of the colored wo- man who had asked for flesh colored court aster )l and d wa s given black by the observant dealer stored the inci- dent away in his mental dust box and decided to use it at the first opportu- nity. He had not long to wait, for a few nights ago a comely colored girl stepped into the store where he was employed. "Ah wants some cou't pias- ter," she said. "What color?" inquired the clerk, • with affected nonchalance, "Flesh curtail, flab." Trembling in his shoes and keeping within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the clerk- banded the woman a box of black court plaster, and he was sur- prised at the time that the situation af- forded so little humor. The woman opened the box with a deliberation that was ominous. but she was unruffled when she noted the color of the con- tents. "Ah guess yo' mus' a -misunderstood mai ordah. Ab asked foil flesh cullah, and yo' done give me skin eullah." The drug clerk is still a little dazed from the encounter, and he has firmly resolved to subject every joke to rigit' laboratory test hereafter before using. -Pittsburg News. Took a Mean Advantage. A supernumerary in Richard Mans- field's company who bad been, to use a Scotcb phrase, continuously and con- tinually "heckled" by the manager at rehearsals and between the acts for al' leged displays of stupidity on the stage; was informed that a near relative o his had departed this life and had lef him a competence, so he decided t leave the dramatic profession and, t quote him, become respectable. Before leaving he determined to take his re venge on Mansfield for the attacks o his amour propre that gentleman had made. The play was "Richard III," and the super was one of the soldiers who led away the Duke of Buckingham when the king orders bis demise. due time Richard remarked, "Off with his head!" and this was the su- per's opportunity. Advancing, he touched his helmet in the style of a footman and replied loudly and genial- ly; "That'll be attended to, old clap. We'll take care of old Buck. It'll be all right!" and retired gracefully. When the infuriated Mansfield came off to commit murder, he found the super bad fled. -Chicago Chronicle. The Modest Scot. Love of country is so fine a virtue that it seems difficult to carry it to ex- cess. A resident of a small village in the north of Scotland paid a busi- ness visit to London the other day. He happened to call on a merchant who unknown to him had once made a stay in his native place. In the course of conversation the vis- itor made use of an expression that led the other- to exclaim, "Surely, you come from Glen McLuskie?" The assertion, however, was denied. Presently, to the merchant's surprise, another Glen alcLuskie expression was heard. "My dear Mr. MacTavish, I feel convinced that you are a Glen Mc- Luskle plan after all," insisted the mer- chant. "Weer," returned the other, "I'll no' deny it any longer." "Then why didn't you say so at first?" demanded the Englishman. "Wee!," was the calm response, "I didna like to boast o' it in London." - London Chronicle. His Chance Came. The photographer had just completed all arrangements for the sale of his studio, when the pretty young miss of 17 summers tripped in. "I want my picture taken," she sim- pered. "Do you think my face will break the camera?" "Not this catnera," said the photog- rapher just as simperingly. "It is pro- vided with double extra strong lenses." Of course the miss of 17 summers immediately flounces out and goes to the rival photographer, who, when she springs the joke about her face and the camera, joins with her to a hearty laugh.--Tndianapolis Sun.

"Tell a good story and stick to It," Is an old maxim that is illustrated in a story that is gaing the rounds along the Rialto. A certain well known actor floated into his home one morn- ing about 2 o'clock. The wife of his bosom was wafting up for him. He told her he had been out all the even- ing with one of their friends, Charlie B., and then related an interesting fairy story of how Charlie had taken a crowd to supper, how funny Char- lie had been all the evening, how well Charlie looked In his new suit, how he said this, that and the other. After telling a 15 minute story, to which the gentle partner of his joys and out of work periods listened with respectful attention, but cynical mien, he paused for breath. Then she, in a confident now I've got you tone, said: "That's a lovely romance you've been giving me, and I hate to spoil it, but Charlie has been here nearly all the evening waiting to see you about an engagement. He left only about half an hour ago." The teller of the tale looked rather dazed for a moment as if he had been struck. Then quickly gathering him- self together he assumed a bold front, with bands to his pockets, bead thrown back and, in.detlant innocence and em- phasizing each word, said: "Well, that's my story. and I'm not going to change it for anybody."—Clip- per. Army Jokes With a Moral. "During the civil war," said an ex army officer, "the authorities for some reason were anxious to move troops up the Tombigbee river. Word was sent to the engineer in that district asking wbat It would cost to run up the Tom- bigbee. That official got gay and re- ported that the Tombigbee ran down and not ,up, a joke that promptly land- ed his head in the basket, as the mat- ter was serious. "At the bombardment of Charleston It was extremely desirable to bring to bear on the city an extra heavy gun called by the men the Swamp AngeL The gun took Its name from the swamp in which it stood, and to move it through that boggy morass was an en- gineering feat of extreme difficulty. However, the commanding officers were determined to have the gun brought within range of Charleston and issued orders to that effect. At the same time they sent word to the engineer having the matter in charge of requisition without regard to trouble or expense for anything necessary to accomplish the desired object. His first requisi- tion called for men 26 feet 6 inches in height. Another officer promptly took the matter in charge, from which it can readily be deduced that it is not a pay- ing investment to make jokes in the army at the expense of your superiors." —New York Tribune. A Contrast In Cooks. In an article contributed to a London paper John Strange Winter, who has been living for many months pest in Dieppe, compares the French to the English cook, rather to the detriment of the latter. "In the French kitehen," she says, "there is no waste. It would seem that the French mind does not run to waste or revel in it as the lower class English mind invariably does." The French cook will not on4y do a bit of the housework, but she will do it cheerfully and as a matter of course. "You cannot buy your French cook too many pans, and her soul loves copper in ber kitchen. Certainly an English cook would grumble if she was expect- ed to keep a kitchen full of copper pans bright and clean, but'a French one has them in a condition akin to burnished gold Her pride is gratified if her kitchen walls are hung with these or- naments, and even if she does the greater part of her small cooking in little enameled pans she will daily rub up the copper ones which bang on the wall." An Hzpert. "Blowhard is always boasting of his driving abilities." "It comes natural to him. He has been handling the ribbons behind the counter at Gunamaker's for six years or more."—Rider and Driver. Ebony was esteemed as an article of luxury by the ancients. In India it was employed by kings for scepters and images and as it was supposed to annul the power of poisons was often aside into drinking cups. 1111411: SO HISTPI?iCATA , Al per Year in Advance. OS per Year it not in Advaoee Old Stagecoacn Days. Adventures of varied nature belonged to the old English mail coach days. One of the most thrilling episodes of the road occurred one night on the way from Salisbury to London in 1816. The story is told by Mr. Charles 11. Harper in the Exeter Road. As the coach went bowling along,'the horses suddenly became extremely nervous, and what was thought to be a large calf was seen trotting along be- side the left leader in the darkness. As they neared the inn the horses became uncontrollable, and then the supposed calf seized one of the animals. By this time the horses were frantic, plunging and kicking, and it was remarkable that the coach was not overturned. The guard laid bold of his gun and was about to shoot the assailant when several men, accompanied by a large mastiff, appeared. The foremost, see- ing that the guard was about to fire, pointed a pistol at his head, declaring that be would shoot if the beast was killed. The "calf" was a lioness, escaped from a traveling show. The dog was set upon the brute, who left the horse, seized the mastiff and tore him to pieces and retreated ubder a granary. The spot was barricaded to prevent her escape, and she was noosed and re- turned to captivity. The horse which had been seized was seriously injured by the lioness, bet finally recodered. Seeking Rest In Birmingham. The house in which I staid faced a road traversed by a steam tramway, the traffic on which goes on from early morning till late at night, while the back windows overlooked • the London and Northwestern railway, upon which at this point perhaps a hundred trains pass in the 24 hours. I was about to write "a hundred trains a day;" but, unfortunately for the light sleeper, many of them pass in the night. Just as one gets to sleep an express rushes by with a noise like - an ava- lanche and rouses one with a start. When you have recovered from the fright and are settling yourself for a second attempt at sleep, a goods train arrives on the scene and shunts into a siding just under your window. You lie awake listening to the bump, bump, bump, of the buffers and the occasion- al whistle of the engine, wondering how long it will be before the wretched train moves on. At length it is gone, and, being past midnight, you feel you' can safely turn over and settle yourself for the night. Yon drop asleep to the soft music of a tilt hammer and the rushing of steam at a distant iron forge, to be aroused again perhaps about 4 in the morning by an early excursion train. Between 5 and 6 the regular traffic recommences, so you need not try to sleep again.-- Westminster gain —Westminster Review. Early Days of Freemasonry. Outside of England and ber colonies the development of Masonry was by no means rapid, but the church early took the alarm, and in 1738 Clement XII condemned It in his bull, In Emi- nent!. No reason for this was alleged except its secrecy and that under its rules men of all religions associate to- gether, giving rise to suspicions of sail, wherefore all members incur excom- munication removable only by the pope, and all bishops are instructed to prosecute and punish them as vehe- mently suspect of heresy. As the parlement of Paris refused to register this bull it could scarce accom- plish much outside of the papal states, except in Spain, but within them it was rendered effective by an edict of the cardinal secretary of state Jan. 14, 1739, pronouncing irremissible pain of death, not only on all members, but on all who tempt others to join or favor the society in any way, such as leasing a house for its use. This was a decla- ration of war to the knife, although the only victim of the death penalty is said to have been the French author of a book on Masonry.—New Lippincott. sew York Is Provincial. Perhaps there is no city quite so pro- vincial as New York, says A. Maurice Low in The Atlantic, due to the fact that the average New Yorker, whether in society or business. has got into the habit of patronizing the inhabitants of 'any other city. The New York busi- ness man complacently feels that the rest of the country is financed by New York and must do as New York tells it. The society man or woman of New York believes that outside of New York, with few exceptions, there is no society worthy of the name, and what society does exist is merely a bad imi- tation of its New York prototype. Things Ton Hear. You no doubt "hear" things every day that are not true and repeat them. Try not to do it. It is surprising bow many things are told that are untrue and cruel it is surprising how many people like this sort of talk. Be above circulating an untrue and damaging story about any one to oblige some mis- chievous gossip.—Atchison Globe. Setent Ie Research.

SATURDAY JANUARY 19th. 1901. The Senatorial Question. M. E. Clapp has the support of seventy-five per cent of the people of Minnesota. He is the people's can- didate. With only Clapp, Evans, and Tawuey in the field ?he canvass for this office would be a clean one, uninfluenced by ase* mouetary con- sideration. There are reasons why the candi- dacy of others should be impartially oousidered. Gov. L. F. Hubbard and Tams Bixby are both from Goodhue unty. The first would like an ap- poiiitirent as United States minister abroad, for which he is eminently qualified. His prominence as a can- didate for senator would show to the administration that he is not consid- ered a back number by his friends at home. The second, a young man, has aspirations for a federal appoint- ment higher in position than that which he now holds, and looks upon the senatorial contest as a stepping stone for future preferment. Thomas Lowry is an able business man, a man of large wealth, and well qualified for a seat in the millionaire club. Consequently any vote cast for him would be looked upon with sus- picion by the people at large, as in- fluenced directly or indirectly by pecuniary- considerations. The eulogies delivered in the Uni- ted States senate last Saturday as tributes to the. memory of Senator C. K. Davis were worthy of the speakers and their subject. They were by Nelsou, of Minnesota, Hoar, of .Massachusetts, Morgan, of Alabama, Clark, of Wyoming, Lodge, of Massa- chusetts, Daniel, of Virginia, Spooner, of Wisconsin, Pettigrew. of South Dakota. McCumber, of North Dakota. Foster, of Washington, and Towne, of Minnesota. - The state agricultural society is asking an appropriation of $100,000 for new buildings, in addition to the $10,000 annually received for current expenses. As the institution simply - exists for the purpose of drawing trade from the country towns to the twin cities. why not let the latter foot some of the bilis. The annual meeting of the Minne- sots Historical Society will be held at the capitol next Monday evening, with remarks by Alexander Ramsey. the president; and a History- of Flour Manufacturing in Minnesota by Col. G. D. Rogers, secretary of the Cham- ber of Commerce, Minneapolis. The nine presidential electors met at the capitol on Monday and cast their votes for William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. W. E. Lee was selected as messenger to carry the vote to Washington, for which he will receive about $350 as mileage. The reapportionment bill has passed both houses, giving Minnesota two additional members of congress. They will be elected at large until the legislature redistricts the state. One of the handsomest calendars of tke season is issued by The Ledg- er Monthly, of New York, and sent to all subscribers of that popular magazine. Minnesota Journalists.

Whoever was responsible for the announcement that the people of Anoka are in favor of having the present system of caring for the insane perpetuated had very imper- fectly ascertained the true sentiment of the public. Gov. Lind, and not the people, made the state take a backward step in this matter, and it was only his veto of the Anoka hill that caused the state to adopt the present asylum system, which is barbarous and irrational. The Anoka and Hastings asylums should be made hospitals at this session of - the legislature, and should be put on the same footing as the hospitals at St. Peter, Fergos Falls, and Roehester.— Aneka Herald. Of all the candidates mentioned for the senatorship made vacant by the Beath of Senator Davis, none enjoy a greater personal popularity than Gen. M. E. Clapp. If the question was submitted to a popular vote of the republicans of the state, he would undoubtedly be the choice.—Apple- ton Tribune. Burnsville Items.

John Peterson, who had his feet frozen, has been moved to the poor farm. W. H. Carr will hove the old schoolhouse on the site where Satz Wood's saloon was burned a short time since. Ed Kearney, of Deadwood, is visit- ing friends here. His parents were among our first settlers, but have been located at Deadwood since that city was founded. Mike Allen, who has been in the saloon business for twenty-two years, has decided not to take out a license this year, which gives Jim Hurley a monopoly in that line at Hamilton. A schoolhouse will be built in the new district at once. There were thirty-five children in one small local- ity without educational advantages, except by a walk of three or four miles. The brick schoolhouse at Hamil- ton is now completed, consisting of two rooms, and will compare favor- ably with any village schoolhouse in the state. The old building was sold at auction to W. H. Carr for $90. The new one costs $12,000. Langdon Items. Farmers are busy- putting up ice. Mrs. John Kemp gave a quilting bee on Thursday. Miss Alice Austin has gone to Woodbury to stay some time. W.

William Hodgson, of this city, has been appointed chief clerk of the senate judiciary committee to fill vacancy. Mr. Hodgson is attorney of Dakota County-, and well qualified for the position. The committees were announced on Tuesday. Senator Schaller is a member of corporations, hospitals for insane, Indian affairs, insurance, judiciary-, state prison, state training school, and temperance. Mr. Whit- ford is a member of the house com- mittees on appropriations, education, hospitals for insane, judiciary, legis- lative expenses, and municipal legis- lation. Mr. Pennington is chairman of manufactures, and a member of agriculture, general legislation, and public accounts and expenditures. The friends of M. E. Clapp have no reason to feel the least discourag- ed, in fact the contrary conditions prevail so far as his candidacy for the senatorship is concerned, Tawn- ey's entrance into the contest having had the effect to seriously injure Evans' promising chances and cor- respondingly improve those of Clapp. While the outcome of a triangular contest is difficult to foretell,yet if the seventh district does its whole duty it would seem as if Mr. Clapp can win out.—Morris Sun. Pt. Douglas Items. Albert Page went to St. Paul Park Tuesday, returning the next day. It is reported that Mr. Horace Brown, who works in Minneapolis, has gone to Superior for the remains of his sou Wallace, who went in the woods near there and was taken sick with erysipelas in the head. He started for . the hospital, but was found dead or dying on the road. The third is undoubtedly a Clapp district, and if Mr. Bixby goes in for anything to hurt the cause of the former he might as well sit down and look on; it won't work, but even if it would he himself might be the loser in futurities. From present appear- ances it is the field against the beat man, Clapp; 'ere's 'oping 'e will win, —Carver Journal. A. O.

He is being injured already by the same unwise tactics on the part of St. Paul papers as resulted to the disadvantage of Evans in Min- neapolis. Such papers are declaring that Clapp is the St. Paul candidate, and urging his support on that ground. Clapp is not a St. Paul candidate in the narrow sense of the word. He is a candidate of the state of Minnesota and his support comes to him almost wholly on the ground of his eminent ability and fitness for the position, and not because of the place where be happens to live. His election would he a credit to the state, in which all parts - of the state might feel equal pride and satisfaetion.— Northfield Independent. The evidence that Gen. Clapp is the choice of the people continues to accumulate, and if the matter were to be decided by popular vote there could be no question as to his sue- cess.—Faribault Republican. FOR AIv$BIDEXTERITY:; NEW -ARMY -RATION. Scientists Seriously Considering the Teaming of Both Hands. According to the Rochester Demo- crat and Chronicle, scientists are now considering seriously the subject of ambidexterity, to which a Novelist, Charles Meade, called attention in his characteristically emphatic fashion Hong ago. Men are born into the world with two hands equally capable of being trained to full usefulness. But from the mo- ment of birth the right hand is careful- ly educated, while the left hand is sed- ulously neglected. The right hand be- comes expert and strong. The left hand is allowed to remain inexpert and weak. The right hand becomes a mar- velously capable tool. The left hand remains little better than a useless ap- itendage. The man goes through life handicapped—less of a man than na- ture intended him to be. Scientists contend that this handicap is entirely artificial and needless, that there is no reason except tradition and custom why the hands should not be equally educated and equally "dexter- ous." Observed facts seem to bear out their contention. Every mother has noted that she must exercise care and vigilance $o save her child from the awful misfortune .of "left handed- ness," must continually check the child's natural tendency to use either hand indifferently, which probably means to pervert the child's inborn, correct instinct, which has survived centuries of race custom, to train both hands alike. Another fact that is worth noting is that hosts of men have trained them- selves easily, almost unconsciously, to be ambidextrous in some one particu- lar—to pitch a ball, to strike a blow, to play billiards, to shave themselves, to write as expertly with the left hand as with the right. Is it not probable that a child allowed from its birth to follow its own instincts in this respect, free even from the influences of example, would naturally develop ambidexteri- ty in all respects? That ambidexterity Is desirable there can be no question. Every one would be better off if he had two "right" hands instead of one "right" and one "left hand." That ambidexterity is attainable by every one seems exceed- ingly probable. Under these circum- stances it seems rather senseless for a whole tate to artificially handicap itself solely out of respect for a tradi- tional custom, the reason for whose adoption has long since ceased to be operative. Paint For Ships' Bottoms. If there were a reliable paint to be had that would keep foreign growths off the bottom of steel ships and also prevent corrosion or pitting, there would not be any great necessity for coppering the bottoms, but those who have had experience in the working of ships, trading to the orient, for in- stance, know that this is still far from realization. In the writer's experience it often appeared that the anticorrosive paint did not prevent corrosion, and the antifouling coat failed to prevent fouling for any great length of time at least. Hence the necessity for cop- pering. Several years ago the writer was connected with the engine department of a line of steamers trading between European porta and Manila and re- members that these vessels required docking, cleaning and coating every voyage. This was also the practice with Holt's tea ships and other fleets, and keen was the competition to secure the order for cleaning and coating these bottoms. It was no uncommon thing for a representative of a patent composition to place his article in com- petition with a rival paint by coating one side of the bottom, or even a por- tion of it, to show the superiority of its antifouling qualities. An acquaintance who was very enthusiastic over the su- perior merits of his composition paint- ed the port bottom of a certain vessel, and on her return from an eastern voyage and before she entered the drydock he invited the shipowners to a summer resort near the dock and see for themselves the superior value of such an article as he sold. But when the dock was pumped out the star- board bottom was seen to be almost clean after a four months' voyage, while the port -bottom, which had been coated with his composition, was thick- ly e6vered with barnacles and long green grass. This is no romance, and similar results may have been seen by many.—Joseph R. Oldham in Cassier's Magazine For January. American Wealth. In the last ten years the United States has increased its wealth $26,- 000,000,000, which makes the wealth of the nation $91,000,000,000. This gives an average per capita wealth of $1,195. This is not so great a per capita wealth as Great Britain's, for her figures are $1,300 for each inhab- itant. But her aggregate wealth sinks into the background before ours, for she has only $50,000,000,000 against our $91,000,000,000. Her increase in wealth in ten years is $19,000,000,000, as against our $26,000,000,000. The in- crease in wealth in this country in the last ten years has been $337 for each inhabitant—New York Press. Failure of Lyddite. The high explosive lyddite, which was used extensively by the British in the South African war, is now said to have been deficient in several impor- tant respects, and it is said that few of the shells fired from the fieldpieces exploded satisfactorily.

DEFECTIVE PAGE Ingredients Secret, but Believed to Inolude Beef, Wheat, Salt and Chocolate. As the result of an exhaustive test conducted under actual conditions of military service, an emergency ration has been obtained fez the United States army superior to that used by the troops if any other nation. This Is the opinion of the board of officers designated to prepare a ration and examine others submitted and test them in comparison. The ration which developed the greatest merit was adopted for trial by the board after the most careful con- sideration of the several elements com- prising it. The board examined the celebrated iron ration of Germany and the emergency ration of Great Britain. The one, in the opinion of Captain Fountain, would be eaten by men only when on the verge of starvation. The other weighs more than two pounds and is consequently almost as heavy as the regular ration of the American army. The ration of the board was tested for live days, and an equally long trial was given to two rations submitted by private persons. The components of the ration prepar- ed by the board have not been made public, but it is believed to contain powdered beef, parched wheat, salt and chocolate. With a detachment of 25 men, physic- ally fit, of Troop A, Eighth cavalry, Captains Fountain and Foster left Fort Reno early in November and for three days lived on the regular army ration. Then officers and men started on the emergency ration test. The men were required to march 20 miles each day and perform the usual routine incident upon field service. At the ex- piration of five days officers and men were weighed. The average loss of weight sustained was found to be about two pounds, and the men returned to their post In good physical condition. Another detachment of 25 men of Troop A went out two days later under command of Captains Fountain and Foster. After three days' use of the regular army ration the test of the second emergency ration began. Cases of dysentery occurred. The test of the third emergency ration, under the same conditions, gave the same results. In order that there might be no ques- tion as to the value of the first ration, detachments of 25 men from Fort Reno and 25 from Fort Sill left these two posts and arranged to meet at a point equally distant under various con- ditions of service. They seemed to relish it and suffered no diminution of vigor. Greatest Iron Mine. With it record to its credit of 1,000,- 000 tons of iron ore mined during the past 12 months, the Norrie mine, on the Gogebic range, may be considered the greatest iron ore producing mine in the world, says The Scientific Amer- ican. This output represents about one-fifth of the annual ore supply of the Carnegie Steel company, limited. The Norrie mine has been in opera- tion during the past 15 years. Several years ago the Oliver Mining company, under which name the ore plants of the Carnegie interests are operated, ob- tained control of the Norrie mine, and since that time there have been won- derful improvements in the methods of mining and handling the ore and preparing it for lake shipment to the Carnegie docks at Conneaut. More than 3,000 tons of ore are mined and shipped each working day of the year. The railroads which carry the prod- uct to the docks have been brought to the very mouths of the mine. The "skip" cars which convey the ore from the mine dump their contents into im- mense ore pockets, which in turn emp- ty into the railroad cars waiting be- neath to receive their load. When there is an oversupply of ore, the sur- plus is dumped on the stock pile. Min- ing never ceases. The aspect of the Norrie mine is very different from that of the Menominee range, where great ore pits can be seen. The Norrie is a mine in the true sense of the word, for there is no open pit, no evidence of the ceaseless activity far beneath the sur- face. The mine now known as the Norrie includes workings in which were four separate mines formerly, known as North, East and West Norrie and the Pabst. Two additional mines, the Vaughn and the Aurora, are also op- erated by the company under the name of Norrie, but their product forms a separate account. If the output were included with that of the Norrie, the sum total would be much in excess of 1,000,000 tons per year. Mysterious X Rays. There are many curious things about X rays which seem to puzzle even the scientists. Signor Brigulti, who has been making experiments with them at Rome, says that the visibility of a substance to the eye is no criterion of its visibility to the X rays. The rays cannot see through glass, which is transparent to the eye, whereas alu- minium, which is opaque to the eye, 1s transparent to the X rays. The rays can see a splinter of glass in the hand, but not a splinter of wood. Most inks are transparent to the X rays, includ- ing printers' ink, but some of them are opaque. The rays can see through a postoffice directory, but if a paper with words written on it be put in the middle of the directory the rays will reveal these words and nothing be- hind them.—New Yorkess. The splendid results of high altitude in the treatment of tuberculosis have not been due to any curative constit- uent of the atmosphere or any pecul- iarity of temperature, but entirely to decreased barometric pressure upon the external surface, compelling a greater expansion of the cheat, open- ing up a larger surface for the inter- change of gases and consequently a greater oxygenation of the blood.

Rarity of a Dread of Death. Sir Lyon Playfair, who represented the University of Edinburgh for 17 years, naturally came in contact with the most eminent men of England, and he put this question to most of them, "Did you in your extensive practice ever know a patient who was afraid to die?" With two exceptions, it seems, they answered "No." One of these ex- ceptions was Sir Benjamin Brodie, who said he had seen one case. The other was Sir Robert Christison, who had seen one case, that of a girl of bad character who had a sudden accident. —Health Hymeneal. Mr. William Mores and Miss Julia M.

Minn. I WANT MONEY TO LOAN. Are you satisfied with the rate of interest you are receiving upon your savings? Three per cent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enormous amounts of money seeking investment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis, As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate is ttie basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it. is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as I. 'rnment bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the beat financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these com.: nies will loan in smaller amounts than $10,: i r on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for $200 as one for $50,000. Therefore, for a time at least. it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from $200 to $6,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less than $10,000) and I have many applications for loans of from $300 to 65,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force, and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon tae, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

The.fresh, bracing air seeme permeate every fiber of his being, he drew in great breaths of it, feel a wild sort of pleasure in the mere f of being alive. For once in three years he was h py, and be had been in that beat state for, two whole days. The rest the cowboys of the outfit did not kn what to make of it.

During his idle hours Allyn had fa en in love, and he took that very se ously also. It went hard with him, f he had nothing on earth except a fe .bonds an old aunt had left him. a the revenue from them did not amo fi!r$300 a year. At the rate- his pra tice was not increasing Methusel would have been a youngster comps with Allyn If be waited for the reven 'from his profession to enable him marry. "Jim," she said, "you are acting we foolishly. What does it matter if yo haven't any money? I don't want mo ey. I've got enough, or will have whe I ani 24, when I get control of it. Th would keep ns very nicely and woul hold us up until you could establish paying practice. Now don't be silly." "Nelly," lie said solemnly. "I cann afford to marry now. People woul say that I married you for you mone and I don't intend to put myself i a position where such a motive coul be imputed to me: It would be unjus to me and to yon." "Well, Jim," and there were tears 1 her voice, "I don't think ypu are ac ing fairly toward me. Here I tan a orphan, with nobody on the earth t love except an old guardian, and despise him. You've made me love yo so that life without you will be wors than no life at all, and now you sa _ you cannot marry me until you mak what it took my father a lifetime t accumulate. Why, by that time I'l have wrinkles and maybe false teet and glasses and he a horrid, snuffy f'issy old woman," "No, Neil, I don't want to make $200, .000. If I had $100,000 it would be al right And it will not take long.

"Yes, gladly, and we would be happy too. You would atanage somehow. But now my self reispect will not allow me." i So It was that he went to make his fortune and at the same time peace with his und'ily active' conscience. To his utter disgust he found, after a yearls prospecting, that gold, mines were- not at all -plentiful, and that every foot of the mountains had been prospected over time and again. A year in Mexico assured him that the business of finding silver mines lying around loose had also played out long ago, and that it took lots of capital to start ranching on a paying basis. Funds were getting low, so he secured a place as one of the herdsmen of the XXX outfit and on account of his grave demeanor was promptly named by the other cowpunchers Sorrowful Jim. And the name stuck to him. During all his wanderings he had written to Nell as regularly as possible and had begun to regret in a measure his Puritanical conscience. At $40 a month and grub be did not see that a fortune was in immediate prospect. :Absence had indeed made his heart grow fonder, and he longed for a sight of Nell's laughing eyes and dimpled face. Yet he would not acknowledge him- self beaten or that he would give in. Much against his inclination he re- mained consumed with a desire to see her, yet impelled to remain in stiff necked pride, acting as avant courier and escort for a -lot of wild eyed, long horned steers, all the while cursing himself for a- fool. So he and the rest of the outfit did not have very much in common together, and he grew more and more unsociable and lonely. Small wonder was it, then, that when he received a letter from her he felt that his voluntary exile was broken. His penance was done, and he was free to return to civilization and Nelly. "You come on, Jim, dear," the letter said -"that is, of course, !f you care to take an almost dowerless bride. I have now only enough left to bring me in $300 a year -exactly what you bad. I do not own another thing on earth. I had concluded that the money without you is not worth having, and as long as you are so stubborn about it I saw that I must give in, so I have done so gladly. I have got to be 24, as you know, and have absolute control over niy property. So, in order to get you, I have given away my fortune. "You have cost me nearly $100,000, so I'm of the opinion that you had better come on and deliver yourself up as a victim. I don't propose to tell you an- other thing about it, as you have no sight to know now. After -after -oh, weir some time I will tell you what 1 i did with the rest of the money, but just ' now it Is no affair of yours. You will J simply have to take my word for It Come on, Jim. I am anxious to see ou." So it was that Jim was so happy. He bad only two more days to wait; then he would get his month's wages. He had $400 saved up, and he reflected that he and Nelly would manage to get along nicely on that for awhile. His pride was riding rampant, also, and his conscience was very self satis- fied, indeed; fcr had he not held out against the allurements of beauty, wealth, position, ease -everything? It was a victory well worth rejoicing over. • • • • • • • The ceremony was over, the few inti- mate friends had taken their departure, and Jim and Nell looked at each other in a bewildered sort of way. "I think we ought to take a trip, Jim. I'm so deadly tired of this place. I don't know what to do. Let's go to Europe. I've always wanted to go there." "Nelly, are you daft? I can't afford a trip to Europe, and you know it, And you haven't any money either, so how are we to go?" "I think it is very unkind of a person of your wealth to be taunting me with my poverty. For a man as rich as you, I think you are undoubtedly 'close.'" Her eyes twinkled merrily. "I want to go to Europe, and now I've got you to go with me you ought to be glad of the opportunity." "Nell, dear, if I could afford it you know I would be delighted to take you." "Well, you can afford it." "I tell you I cannot." "I know better -you can. Why, just look at these," and she banded him a bundle of books and papers. He picked up the first one and read the inside page: "First National Bank, in ac- count with James M. Allyn. Deposited May 1, $35,000; May 9, $12,000; May 12, $12,000. - "What does this mean, Nell?" he asked wonderingly as he looked at another book and read: "Received May, 9, bonds, mortgages, stocks and securi- ties duly transferred and assigned to James M. Allyn, and aggregating $130,- 000, and - more particularly described as follows: The Trust and Safe De- posit company." Nell was hugely en- joying the "situation. She seated her- self on the arm of the chair and said: "You dear old stupid, mulish, still,' born thing, I told you the truth, for I gave everything I owed to you before I wrote that letter. I told the truth, for I reserved just enough to bring me in $300 a year." -"Well, I'll be"- She kissed him and stopped the word.: "Are you going to Europe?" she ask- ed. "Yes. I think I would enjoy the trip myself, but don't you think you paid too much for mei" "Oh, I don't know. Not as long as you are nice as you are now. Come on. Let's get ready and catch the steamer leaving tomorrow evening." - St. Louis Star. An Irishman's Ruse. In the pioneer days of Victoria, B. C., a Hibernian drayman, whose property abutted on to that of a merchant, was very much disgusted to find that the merchant's chickens were constantly in pis little garden patch and would root up his flowers and vegetables. Appeals to the merchant, who was a patron of the drayman, were of no avail, so the following i w ng ruse was adopt- ed:, Our friend from the Emerald Isle purchased some eggs and placed them here and there in his garden. He then awaited the meer�cchant's wife, who would call the chii'.'kens to feed them, and in full view of the lady picked up the eggs and put them in his hat. The lady asked Mike what he was doing. "Oh, getting few eggs for my breakfast," said he. "Well," said the la , "you have no chickens. The eggs are mine." "Oh, sure are they, mum. Then what do they do in my garden? Anything on my premises is my own." After this the fence was made chick- en proof, and Mike had no more trou- ble. -London Tit -Bits. A Story of Dumas. One day Alexandre Dumas visited Marseilles and made a trip to the Cha- teau d'If to visit the palace he had helped to make- famous. The guide showed him everything; also the sub- terranean passage by which Edmond Dantes and Abbe Faria used to visit each other. "This passage was dug by Abbe Faria by the aid of a fish bone," the guide explained, "M. Dumas tells about it in his story of 'Monte -Chris - to.' " "Indeed," replied the author. "Alex- andre Dumas must be familiar with all the surroundings here. Perhaps you know him?" "I should think so. He is one of my best friends." "And you are one of his," replied the impulsive scribe, letting 2 louis d'or slip into the hand of the astonished guide.. When Juba Hit It. "After having supplied a moonsbiner in a South Carolina jail with a month's supply of smoking tobacco," said a gov- ernment surveyor, "I presumed upon the deed to ask: "'Didn't you know it was against the law to manufacture moonshine whis- ky? '1 heard that was a law once,' be replied. "'What do you mean by "once?"' " 'Why, Juba French told me thar was sich a law, but when I asked Jim Truman about it he says that Juba is sic!) a liar that nobody kin believe him under oath, and so -1 reckoned I was safe to go ahead.

It was Friday, but they had quite forgotten to provide a fast day dinner. However, be was quite equal to the occasion, for he stretched out his hands to benediction over the table, and said, "1 pronounce all this to be fish," and forthwith en- oyed all the good things heartily. - 'The Story of My Life," by Augustus . C. Hare. The Wrong Text. "Very few good speeches are really impromptu," said a New Orleans law- s yer, who has a reputation as a clever offhand talker, "but it is generally easy to produce that effect by simply leading off with some strictly local al- lusion. Of course that's a trick, but it's a trick employed by a good many eminent orators. I was broken of it myself by rather a peculiar incident. "One day some years ago I happened to be in a town where a large commer- cial college is located and was invited by the president to make a few re- marks to the boys during the noon re- cess. I mentally framed a little talk on the subject of energy, and as I was going into the main hall I chanced to notice the word 'Push' in big letters on the outside of the door. 'By Jove,' I said to myself, 'that's the very thing I need for localizing my opening sen- tence!' So when I reached the plaaform I launched out something like this: " 'My young friends, as I approached the entrance to this room a moment ago 1 observed a word on the panel of the door that impressed me as being an appropriate emblem for an institution of this eminently practical character. It expressed the one thing most useful to the average man when he steps into the arena of everyday life. It was'- " 'Pull!' yelled a dozen of the boys on the back seats. There was a roar of laughter, and I was so horribly discon- certed that 1 was unable to take up the thread of my remarks. The con- founded door bad Push' on one side and 'Pull' on the other. I bad taken my text from the wrong side." -New Orleans Times -Democrat. Each Great In His Own Way. They tell a story about John Sher- man and Bob Fitzsimmons, the prize- fighter. During bis triumphal tour aft- er he had downed Corbett the great gladiator was in Washington and called at the state department- Then was seen a contest between brain and brawn, head and bands. Fitzsimmons looked sheepish and ill at ease, but Mr. Sherman evidently tried to make him feel at home. "Your recent contest was a severe one, I believe, Mr. Fitzsimmons?" he said. Mr. Fitzsimmons uttered a couple of inaudible words and grinned. "It seemed to have pretty thorough- ly aroused the country, the contest, did it not?" Mr. Fitzsimmons scrutinized the brim of his hat attentively, blushed, grinned and said: "The United States is a fine country, your honor," and backed out of the office, responding with short, sharp ducks of the head to the secretary of state's farewell bows. When the doors had closed upon the then world's cham- pion, the wrinkles at the sides of lir. Sheraian's eyes contracted into a smile. "A great wan that, Babcock." he said dryly to his secretary, and went on with his work.-Cincinuati Commer- cial Tribune. South Sea Superstitions. In the south sea islands the old gods are still very close to present life, despite the vigorous profession of the newer faith which the missionaries have introduced. On village greens the stone churches rise into prominence. The people are unremitting in their attendance upon the services, wearing clean white shirts and gaudy bonnets, according to the sex of the worship- ers, and carrying their Bibles and hymnbooks wrapped in spotless hand- kerchiefs. But in the jungles and on the waters no Samoan quite forgets his ancestral gods, the powers of na- ture, and in the domain of the hunter and the fisher these old gods reign supreme. Moralists may not assume to blame them as untutored savages practicing absurd superstitious of an inferior race, for if any moralist will only go a -fish- ing with people of the infinitely su- perior Caucasian race he cannot avoid seeing a few practices which may not be.superstitions, but which are certain- ly believed necessary to luck. What the boy does to the worm after it is on the book and before it goes into the stream is proof that there is kinship in practice between the savage and the cultured sportsman. -Cor. Forest and Stream. Custom Influences Language. Pomologists, like botanists, find it impossible to enforce the rules of prior- ity in names of fruits and flowers. In fruits the uames of Bartlett for a pear and Telegraph for a grape have not been changed in spite of the efforts of leading pouiologists and pomological societies to support prior names. Those who lead in these good efforts forget that the only law for language is the law of custom. In a famous grammar we are told "the English language re- quires the pronoun 'it' for all inani- mate objects," but custom has so firmly made the sun a be and the moon a she that we have accept it. Thus it will ever be. To secure the adoption of a prior name reformers must bestir themselves before custom gets posses- sion of the field.-Meehan's Monthly. She Guessed It. He was descanting with vigor on the exceptional quality of the dinners that are served at one of the fashionable clubs of Brooklyn at a very low figure for a first class meal on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Equally toothsome luncheons could be had on other days of the week, but dinners in edurse only on those days. "And why on only those three days?" queried the New Yorker, to whom the delights of life in Brooklyn were being rehearsed. "Wash day, ironing day and the girl's day out," quickly responded one of the ladies of the party. "That's no sort of a conundrum to a woman who has ever had the care of a house. Better try a Larder one next time unless you hap- pen to be in a stag party." -New York Times. "The Blues." The origin of the term "blues" has been traced to the belief that persons in indigo dyeing establishments are pe- culiarly subject to melancholy. An- other belief is that the expression is de- rived from the German blau, or lead, as lead by its heaviness has always been held to typify gloom and depres- a'M Poor Richard's Bread Box. Benjamin Franklin was a hearty eat- er in the good old days before the vending of lightning rods became a profession- When history caught one of her first glimpses of him, he was eating a roll in the street After he laid the cornerstone of the Pennsyl- vania hospital in the happy reign of George II, he was a frequent visitor in the halls of that institution. His la- bors there being arduous, it chanced that he frequently fell hungry at work. He appeared at the hospital gate one day with a big tin box under his arm. Disregarding the gaze of the cu- rious, he marched through the cor- ridors to 1 lie dispensary, brushed aside a few cobwebbed beakers from a shelf and in their place planted the tin box.

Easy if Yon Have To. Many stories of President Lincoln might be classified as fiction, although a few of them are. So it is not unnatu- ral that this little anecdote, which is better than most, should appear in Mr. Irving Bacheller's novel, "Eben Hol- den." "My son," he said, taking my hand in his, "why didn't you run?" "Didn't dare," I answered. "I knew it was more dangerous to run away than to go forward." "Reminds me of a story," said be, smiling. "Years ago there was a bully in Sangamon county, Ills., that had the reputation of running faster and fight- ing harder than any other man there. Everybody thought he was a terrible tighter. He'd always get a man on the run; then he'd catch up and give him a licking. One day be tackled a lame marl. The lame man licked him in a miIlute. "'Why didn't ye run?' somebody asked the victor. "'Didn't darst,' said he. 'Run once when he tackled me, an I've been lame ever since.' "'How did ye manage to lick him?' asked the other. " 'Waal,' said he, 'I bed to, an I done it easy.' "That's the way it goes," said the im- mortal president. "Ye do it easy if ye have to." An Accomplished Cools. The family had advertised for a cook. The family lived in a west end man- sion. Throughout the house there were rich articles of furniture and brie -a - brae which had been picked up from time to time in the family's wander- ings through Europe and other sections of the globe. Now, it so happens a very wise person applied for a place as queen of the culinary department in this elegant household. "Whati s your name?"asked the fam- ily.

It is said that a certain Cleveland lady whose handsome house is in an ultrafashionable section of the city was called -east while her home was under- going the renovating and refurnishing process. During her absence a man was especially engaged to hang the pic- tures. Among them were a number of excellent copies of the world's greatest works of art, and the man, au artist, found his task a labor of love. With great care he hung the more valuable copies in the roomy reception hall and had just finished his task when the lady returned. Her eyes snapped as she surveyed his work. "Who hung those old chestnuts there?" she cried. "Old masters, madam," said the star- tled artist. "Old chestnuts, I say; it's the same thing. If you hung them, take them down. I won't have them there. With new furniture and new decorations and new carpets and rugs I'll have new pictures too. Who ever heard of such old trumpery stuff in a strictly modern house?" "And what shall I do with the -the old chestnuts, madam?" the artist in- quired, "Oh, dump them into the attic until I can get rid of them," replied the lady.

Hundreds of locomotives are rented every year. Several corporations make their chief revenue this way. The Baldwins have many machines out on the rental form of payment -that is, the engines are rented in the same way that you would buy a stove on install- ments -so much down, so much a month, the payments to apply on the final purchase money. It is seldom, however, that a railroad rents locomo- tives. They are usually let out to con- tractors who construct temporary rail- ways for hauling dirt from excava- tions.

The Oldest Visiting Card. The state archives of Venice are said to possess the oldest visiting card of which there is any record, of course leaving aside the probable use of such articles for some thousands of years in China. Giacomo Contarini, professor at the University of Padua, sent the card in question as a curiosity to a Ve- netian friend, saying that the German students who came to Italy had the ele- gant and laudable custom of leaving such little cards, with their name and place of origin, at the houses of friends when they called and found them ab- sent.

Whose Deadly Poison Only One Man Is Known to Have Recovered—The Treatment Which Saved Him From Death. "I guess I am the only living man that has been bitten by the nevillo, a venomous lizard of the isthmus of Tehuantepec,” said William W. Cloon, a New Yorker with Central American experiences. -This lizard is of the Gila monster family and is a horrid looking reptile of a mottled liver color and is from six to ten inches4ong. Its bite is deadly, and, as I said, I ain the only person knowu who has lived after be- ing bitten. It was a case of nip and tuck, though, and I didn't get over it for two mouths or more. "The brute bit me out of pure malice, for I wasn't doing a thing to it. I had a coffee plantation down on the isth- Nus Several years ago and just be- fore the hot season began, which was in March, I had as my guest Dr. Fer- gus MacDonald of the Smithsonian institution, who was in that country in the interest of science. While he was with me we received an invitation to visit the great plantation of Dr. Pedro Arguilles, one of the most prominent men of that country, and we went to his hacienda near Miultitlan. The ladies of the family had all gone to Mexico City, and as the weather was hot we men loafed around in our py- jamas, the upper garment of which is a big sleeved affair called a camisa. "One day Dr. MacDonald and I had adjourned to the patio or court of the building, and while I lay in the grass talking to him he was busy greasing and putting into shape his guns and revolvers. He was six or eight feet away from me, and I was lying with my head propped up on my arm, from which the sleeve had slipped, leaving it exposed to the elbow, which rested on the grass. Of course neither of us was thinking about reptiles or other dan- gers right there in the court of the building. Suddenly, as I talked. the doctor threw his hand up in warning, and I knew that whatever it was lie saw there was danger in wy moving, and I must keep still. So I kept as steady rrA I could, and then 1 felt some- thing go up my arm toward my head and stop near wy wrist. "1 couldn't see what it was, but 1 knew something about tropical reptiles and I kept perfectly quiet while the doctor caught up one of his revolvers and threw a couple Qf cartridges into it. He aimed across my body aud fired, and as I jumped to my feet a nevillo at least seven inches long fell writhing to the ground, shot through the head. The bullet had gone on into my arm and '-awe out at the elbow and I was bleeding.

During it all I suf- fered no painnor have I ever felt the slightest inconvenience since. What effect the bullet wound in the arm had I don't know. Possibly the blood that came from the bullet wounds saved me. Anyhow something happened that never happened to any other person bitten by a nevillo, or I wouldn't be here to tell the story." Mr. Cloon bared his arm for the ben- efit of the listeners, and If an arm ever looked as if it had been through a hard campaign that one did. It was scarred as if burnt with hot irons and covered from the elbow down with all kinds of peculiarly shaped mottled spots of about the same color as the lizard.— New York Sun. iceberg Deign..

The Turning Point In the Career of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first reading of "The Scarlet Letter" has been told in T. W. Ills- ginson's book of essays, "Contempo-. mules." The reading was given to the author's dearest critic, his wife. During the entire winter when he was at work upon the book he seemed op- pressed by some secret anxiety. "There was a knot in his forehead all the time," said Mrs. Hawthorne. Finally one evening he went to leer and said that he had written something which he would like to read aloud. The work amounted to very little, but still he would like to read it. All that evening he read, but as the romance was unfinished at bedtime his Vie made no comments, knowing that he disliked criticism until one had heard the whole. The next night he read again, and now her suspense grew so unendurable that in the midst of a moving scene she sank from her low stool to the floor, pressed her hands to her ears and declared that she could not bear to hear it. Hawthorne put down the manuscript and looked at her in amazement. "Do you really feel it so much?" he asked. "Then there must be something in It." The next day the manuscript was de- livered to the publisher, and on the following morning Mr. James T. Felds, the publisher, appeared at the author's door. When he was admitted, he caught the little boy of the family in his arms and asked, "You splendid little fellow, do you know what a father you have?" Ile had sat up all night to read the manuscript and had posted out to Salem in the early morning. After his interview with the publisher Haw- thorne came down stairs with a firm step and walked about, his face Mu mined by new hope and vigor. The world had found him out. Recognition was at the door. FRANCE THE TEUTONIC. Parts of the Republic Are as Much German as the Fatherland. The uorthern third of France and half of Belgium are today more Teu- tonic than the south of Germany. This should uot occasion surprise when we remember the incessant downpour of Teutonic tribes during the whole his- toric period. It was a constant pro- cession of Goths from all points of the compass — Franks, Burgundians and others. France was entirely overrun by the Franks, with the exception of Brittany, by the middle of the sixth century. All through the middle ages this part of France was German in language and customs as well. The very name of the country is Teutonic. It has the same origin as Franconia, In southern Germany. In 812 the council of Tours, away down south. ordained that every bishop should preach both in the Ro- manic and the Teutonic languages. The Franks reserved their German speech 400 years after the conquest. Charlemagne was a German. His courtiers were nil Germans. He lived and governed from outside the limits of modern France. The Abbe Sieyes uttered an ethnological truism when, in the course of the French revolution, he cried out against the French aris- tocracy, "Let us send them back to their German marshes whence they came!"—London Express. The Servant Problem In Mexico. "You foreigners," says a Mexican woman quoted by a correspondent of the Boston Transcript. "are so silly with servants. You came here a,nd ex- clahn, 'How awfully the Mexicans treat their servants!' and then you give them iron beds and mattresses stuffed with wool, where with us they have to lie down to sleep on their straw mats, as is best for them. You think it nice to give them ribbons for their hair and neck, and -some of you put the women in corsets and make them wear caps and aprons! This turns the heads of the young women, and they think they are real senoras (ladies) and grow impudent. That is how you spoil our servants, who, when they get angry with us, talk up loudly and say they will go and live in a foreign family! Ah, you foreigners are so shortsighted. Soon you will see how there are no more good,qoyal, old fash- ioned servants! You pet a race which needs firmness and discipline, real kindness, not pampering." The Way to Win Strength. The Romans won their empire by at- tacking their enemies one by one. Be- sides this, they did not attack a new enemy until they had conquered the old enemy. They went farther still and like the English in conquering In- dia used their late enemies, and this is what we should do in learning and practicing games and athletics. It Is of little use to try to conquer the whole empire at once. First conquer a part and make it your own. Then proceed to a second part and conquer that; and, if you can, let the parts which you have already conquered help you to conquer fresh parts.—Eustace U. Mills in Saturday Evening Post.

When a Man Thinks His Brain Is Tired, It is Really Hi. Stomach That Is Overfed or Some Other Vi- tal Point 'ghat Is Weakened. Every man should have impressed upon him the fact that the human brain is capable of absolutely unlimit- ed development. It can be developed more easily, Dupre permanently than the muscles. Like the muscles, it is developed by exercise, but unlike them there is no limit to its possible develop- ment and there is no age limit to the growth of mental faculties. If you go to a certain hotel in Chi- cago you will find at the door of the large dining room a colored gentleman who takes your hat, overcoat and um- brella. He gives you no ticket. When you walk out again, to your intense amazement he hands you your prop- erty, identifying you among hundreds of other guests and immediately as- sociating you with the proper hat and coat. In a big store in Twenty-third street, New York city, a small negro lad, 14 or 15 years old, works for a living. One day at that store this writer asked for a book apparently seldom pur- chased. Various dignified white men were asked about the book. They thought that they did not have it, but to make sure they asked the colored boy. Without a moment's hesitation he pointed out a certain balcony 011 the east side of the store and told ex- actly where the small volume could be found. Every one of the thousands of books in that store was located in a definite spot in that young negro's mind, despite the fact that he probably had seen the insides_of very few of the volumes. The two instances quoted are not unusual. They indicate merely the most superficial sort of development of one particular mental faculty, that of recollection. A more remarkable in- stance of such development was shown by Houdin, the French prestidigitator. He could pass a shop window contain- ing perhaps scores of different articles, cast a glance at the window as he went by and enumerate without error everything in it from that one glance. Some men learn a score or more of languages. Yet the greatest development of any human brain has never taxed even to the slightest degree the actual capacity of the mind. No matter to what extent you may train your mental faculties, no matter how much you may use your brain, you will still be like the man who has spent 5 or 6 cents and has a million dollars in the bank. We are justified in believing that we are destined to marvelous mental achievements in the future, when we consider the instrument of thought that has been given to us and which is so little used at present. A scientist named Meinert calculates that the gray matter of the brain con- tains 600,000,000 cells. That in itself seems quite complicat- ed. If we only had one thought stored away in each cell, we would know quite a good deal. But you must remember that each cell is divided into several thousand molecules separately divisible. Every one of these molecules con- tains many millions of atoms. Un- questionably each separate atom plays its part in the working of the brain. Figuring on a very modest basis, you find that your brain contains 18,000,- 000,000,000,000,000 separate atoms. The theory that the atom is an indi- 'visible particle of matter, which is in- dicated by its name, meaning uncuti-. ble, is only a theory not by any means demonstrated. There is no reason to believe that there is any limit to the universe in the direction of bigness or littleness. What we call an atom may be in effect an indivisible particle of matter or it may be a small universe in itself. However this may be, don't you think that with a brain organized as above you ought to be able to devel- op a good deal of mental energy and be quite free from any worry about overworking the machine which has been given to you to do your thinking? Wben a man thinks his brain is tired, it is really his stomach that is overfed 'or some other vital point that is deplet- ed or overloaded. Keep the rest of your body in good condition, and your brain will never feel any amount of work that you will be able to give It— New York Journal. The Practical Joke. The practical joke is a remnant ot barbarism. Hunted back to its origin, it is a survival of the methods of tor- ture in vogue with savages the world over. The idea behind every practical joke is the infliction of pain, -shame, fear or ridicule upon the victim. It le not often that tragic effects follow a joke, repeating the newt§ chronicles ot the daily press, but when one reflects that the real object of every alleged "joke" of the practical kind is simply to inflict physical or mental pain upon some one it seems as if it must be time, by the clock of the ages, for the prac- tice to eud, at least among civilized and half civilized people. — Ada C.

There are only two directions in which the muzzle of a guncansafely be pointed; these are tip or down. A shot fired in air can scarcely injure any one or Anything and one discharg- ed 'into the ground is equally harm- less. Therefore, in all the different positions which the gun assumes, see that it is pointed either up or down. Sometimes a man will he seen who carries his gun reversed, holding it by the muzzle while the fore end rests on the shoulder and the stock projects behind. Happily, ,this practice is not common, for it is extremely dangerous, and many men have been killed by carrying their guns in this way. If a man stumbles or steps in a hole or catches his foot on a root and falls, his gun will very likely be thrown for- ward wit% the muzzle directly toward his body and may easily enough be dis- charged. Sometimes one may see a boy or even a man who will carry the gun across the back of the neck, with one arm over the stock and the other over the barrels, sometimes with the hand resting on the muzzle. This is certain to give a very uncomfortable feeling to any one who happens to be walking by the side of the person carrying his gun in this fashion and opposite the muzzle end.

A foot had been found in the East river, a leg in the Hudson and the trunk of a body in the park. Loud were the expressions of horror and disgust. Sud- denly a lull came over the crowd, and two small voices were heard above the modified din discussing the law of ha - man nature which made people lean toward curiosity even in its morbid tendency. The small voices grew louder and the argument stronger, until at last a man in tones of undisguised pity turned to the disputants and said: "So you think we are filled with mon bid curiosity?" One of the small voices replied that it looked very much as if that was the CO 11.1. "Nothing of the kind," expostulated the former speaker. "You mistake out motive. We are merely disqualifying ourselves for jury -duty." The men with the small voices imme- diately seized the only two newspapers and devoured then) with avidity.—New York Herald. What a Patent Costs. In the course of its progress throng': the office up to the issue and mailing of a patent, says D. V. Smalley in The Century, an application passes through the hands of 52 persons. An applicant pays $15 to have his claim examined, and in case he is granted a patent an additional fee of $20 is required. At- torneys charge from $25 up, according to the work demanded by the cases and as the applications number about 40,000 yearly it will be seen that there is a good deal of money to be divided among the patent lawyers whose signs cover the faces of the buildings in tht vicinity of the patent office. An inventor is not required to em ploy an attorney, but probably 99 out of 100 do. In simple cases where there is no interference with prior claims an inventor can almost as well deal direct with the government, but in most cases. the knowledge of the lawyer is valua- ble. He can study other inventions in the same line and knows how to make the claim of his client broad enough tc cover all that is new and valuable and not so broad as to be rejected. The Place to Wash Him. On one occasion an M. P. of a past generation not noted for his habits of personal tidiness was visiting a seaside place, and one day while out in a boat with a sailing party he was swept over- board, but was happily rescued. When the excitement was over, a young fel- low rushed down into the cabin. "By Jove," he exclaimed, "we've been having such an exciting time on deck!" "What is it?" asked everybody. "Mr. Blank was washed overboard." "I'm glad of it," snapped a fastidlouS matron. Everybody was horrified. "Well, I am," she explained. "Just think of that man being washed on board."—London Answers. Simplicity In Funerals. The simplicity which marked the ancient Jewish burial ceremonies has much to cotnmend it even to us. The inexpensive coffin and the uniform linen shroud served to emphasize the equality of all in death. As things are today the rich tax their brains to in- vent new funeral fineries and the poor impoverish themselves to keep up with their wealthier neighbors. — Jewish American. Poor Woman..

The many thousands of miles which a man unconscioaaly travels in his life- time, taking into consideration the paces his footsteps measure as he walks about each day, are enough to make him sit down to rest for the re- mainder of his life. But now a German scientist has come forward with some still more startling facts concerning the journeys which our ey,elid undertakes every time it winks, and it is not possible for us to see, he says, unless we wink. Unconsciously we wink once a second, so that for the time we are awake dur- ing the day we voluntarily wink from 48,600 to 50,000 times and in a year have moved our eyelids down and up again no less than 18,250,000 times. The distance that the eyelid travels in its great speed is measured from a sin- gle involuntary wink. This, the scientist says, is a quarter of an inch both ways, the eyelid mov- ing equally up and down, so that, tak- ing the movement of both eyelids into consideration, they cover some 50,000 inches in a day. The eyelids of a man who has lived for 50 years will have unconsciously traveled a third of the way around the earth, or about 7,200 miles, a calculation sufficient in itself to cause the victim of insomnia to fall into a dreamless sleep as he reads it.— London Mail. A Dead Face In the Window. Crockford, the proprietor of a well known London gambling house, was made to play a queer role after he was dead. When one of Crockford's horses was poisoned just before the Derby, the misfortune brought on an attack of apoplexy, which proved fatal with- in 48 hours. Now, many of Crock - ford's friends had staked large sums on another of the gambler's horses, which was a favorite for the Oaks and which was disqualified by the death of the owner. Only the people in t gambling house knew of Crockford's death. and it was resolved to keep it a secret until after the race. The servants were bribed and sworn to secrecy, and the conspirators on the day after the night upon' which Crockford died had the body placed in a chair at a window, so that people re- turning from the track could see the gambler sitting there. He was fixed up to look as lifelike as possible and through the window and partially con- cealed from view by the curtains look- ed so natural that no one of the great crowd which came cheering by the house when on their return from see- ing Crockford's horse win the Oaks suspected the trick. The next day it was announced that Crockford was dead, but it was years before the true story leaked out. Faithful Shepherd Dogs. A cold spell ill Montana killed a sheep herder in the Great Falls dis- trict. Two feet of snow covered the range In places, and the thermometer indicated 40 degrees below zero. The herder was frozen to death on the prairies while caring for the sheep; and it was three days before his fate was known to his employers. Two shepherd dogs were with him when he died, and one of these staid with his body while the other attended to the sheep, just as though the herder had been with him. The dog drove them out on the range in the morning and back again at night, guarding thein from wolves and preventing them from straying off. Neither dog had any- thing to eat during the three days' vigil, so far as could be ascertained, but the 2,500 sheep thrived as well ap- parently as though directed by human agency. The singular fame about the matter is that these faithful creatures would have starved to- death rather than harm one of the sheep left in their charge.—Portland Oregonian. He Forgave Twain. Many years ago the Montana club in Helena entertained Mark Twain after a lecture. Ile met many old friends there and one old enemy. The latter had come all the way from Virginia City, Nev., on purpose to settle an old score. When the glasses were filled and Mark's health proposed, this man interrupted the proceedings by saying: "Hold on a minute. Before we go fur- ther I want to say to you, Sam Clem- ens, that you did me a dirty trick over there in Silver City, and I've come here to have a settlement with you." There was a deathly silence for a moment, when Mark said In his delib- erate drawl: "Let's see. That—was— before—I—reformed, wasn't—it?" Senator Sanders suggested that inas- much as the other fellow had never re- formed Clemens and all the others present forgive him and drink together, which all did. One of Her Ways. "The ways of the female shopper are beyond the ordinary salesman's ken," said a disgusted optician who is in business in the shopping section of the city. "A woman came in here the other day and asked the prices of all kinds and styles of spectacles and eye- glasses known to those in the trade. Final/y, after a half hour's quizzing, she rustled out with the remark: "Thank you, I expect to get a pair of glasses for a birthday present, and I just wanted to know about the prices of them.'

A remarkable attempt was made in Denmark recently to bring back to.life a man who had died in a hospital. The experiment was measurably successful, as resuscitation was effected several hours after the man was pronounced dead. Dr. Maag, who was in charge, was unable to maintain life, however. The patient bad died from typhoid fever, and Dr. Maag decided to try an experiment. Respiration had ceased completely and the body was cold. Di- rect massage of the heart was resorted to. The chest was cut open directly over the heart, and through the in- cision the physician passed his hand and seized the heart. He commenced a series of compressions, and in a short time the heart commenced to work of its own accord. The action of the heart gradually became stronger, but the man had not commenced to breathe. Only after the heart bad been acting half an hour did the first gasp for air come. The patient was then assisted in this for about an hour until finally he was able to breathe quite freely. At the same time his cheeks began to as- sume a natural color. He lay in this condition another half hour, but with- out regaining consciousness or appear- ing to feel the effects of the incision. Then there was a reaction and respi- ration ceased, although the heart con - tinned to act eight hours longer. A second effort was made to induce heart action, but without result. 1 Kipling and the Bus Owner. After leaving Vermont Rudyard Kip -1 ling bought a place in the little Eng -1 lish village of Itottingdean, and in his garden were some beautiful trees. One of these trees, branching over the road, threatened daily injury to the driver of the local bus. Therefore he and his conductor waged destructive war on all the vulnerable twigs within reach from the bus roof. Result: A vigorous letter of complaint from Mr. Kipling to the bus owner, who is also landlord of one of the local inns. • That evening the landlord laid the letter before the select company of the bar parlor. They advised an attitude of calm indifference. Also a Crcesus among them offered $2.50 in cash for the autograph letter. Both advice and cash were accepted. The nuisance continuing, in due course a second and stronger letter followed the first. The landlord con- vened another bar parliament, and the second letter also found a buyer, this time at $5, as befitted its increased violence. And D'onlface again "Nat tight!" To him next day entered Mr. Kipling, briskly wrathful. "Why didn't I answer your letters, air? Why, I was hoping you'd send me a fresh one every day. They pay a deal better than bus driving!"

Do you think I would carry that back to America?" "But you take hold of him. You feel him silk. I think you want to buy. Ver' cheap. Only four pound!" "Four pounds!" I say in French. "Oh, you don't want to sell. You want to keep it! And at that price you will keep it!" "Keep it!" in a shrill scream. "Not want to sell? Me? I here to sell! I sell you everything you see! I sell you the shop!" More wheedlingly, "You give me 40 francs?" "No," in English again. "I'll give you $2." "America! Liberty!" he cries, hav- ing cunningly established my nationali- ty and flattering my country with oriental guile. "How much you give for him? Last price, now. Six dol- lars!" We haggle over "last prices" for a quarter of an hour more, and after two cups of coffee amiably taken to- gether and some general conversation I buy the thing for $3.—Lillan Bell in Woman's Home Companion. Eating Railway Iron. Iron for the blood has evidently been prescribed for the quails of Florida; at least, these birds are eating steel rails on the tracks of the sugar belt near Runnymede. The report, which is well authenticated, does not charge the quails with actually swallowing the rails, but it does say that they pick away their particles wherever they find a rusty spot where they are loosened. From several points in the state comes the -report of holes found in steel rails, and iu cases they are large enough to seriously weaken the ma- terial. Where a rusty spot starts and is picked out, it naturally holds mois- ture, continues to rust, to be again picked out, and so the work of destruc- tion goes on. Railway engineers really believe that the quails take the iron tonic because they are not well and find that it re- lieves their distress. Fatal Gluttony. A messenger employed at the railway station in Praga, Warsaw, made a bet that be would eat at one meal five fowls, a jar of :Four cabbage, two mel- ons, ten pounds -al fruit, six cucum- bers, with bread, and, besides, he would drink a gallon of vocild (native spirit), six bottles of beer and three siphons of soda water.

"One of the old slang phrases of the stage," said Muggles, who used to be a good actor, "was `to pong.' This means, or used to mean, using your own language—that is, playing a part without cues of the proper lines, re- lying only upon a knowledge of the play to carry you through. Years ago on the road there used to be some high- ly ludicrous situations in consequence of a new play being produced in a hurry. The stage manager, however, had a wonderful genius for patching up a hitch. When circumstances were necessary, he would sometimes lower a front scene and tell the low comedian end chambermaid to go on and 'keep it up,' and while they did so he would arrange how the play had to be con- tinued. "Of course, actors are expected to help one another out of a difficulty, but at times old grudges were paid off. For instance, I remember on one oc- casion a letter bad to be read in one scene. Unfortunately this letter could not b., found, so a 'clummy'—that is, a blank sheet—was sent on the stage. "'Say, dad,' said the actor who had to read the letter, seeing it blank, 'here's a letter for you. You had bet- ter read it yourself, as I am sure it contains good news.' "But 'dad' tumbled to the occasion and replied: `No, Tom, you read it. I've mislaid my spectacles.' "'Bless me,' said Tom, 'it is written so badly I can't make out a word of it. Here, Nelly, you read it.' "The unsuspecting Nelly takes the letter, and seeing it blank .says: 'No, father had better read it. He will be able to make it out better. I'll go and fetch your .spectacles. I know where they are.' And off she goes. "The old man is again equal to the occasion and calls out to her: 'Never mind bringing them, Nefly. I'll come and get thein.' Then he walked off and the stage manager had to rearrange the scene. "Yes, sir; there's a lot in the the- atrical business you outsiders never dream of."—New York Times. She Declined. Few American youths have careers made for them. Those who deplore this fact and shun the stings of self effort may fiud tonic in the reply of a western girl to an offer of marriage. A young man of more book learn- ing than force of character lost the young wife who h'ad toiled to support him, returned to his native town for consolation and found it. Some months later she, too, passed away, and the sad youth soon appealed to a well known clergyman for assistance in finding a helpmate. The minister introduced him to a western girl of health and energy, who the next day received a plaintive note from the widower. He declared that the Lord bad made great inroads upon his marital affections, and it now seemed to be his will that she would repair the breaches of his life. The reply, which e clergyman keeps today as one o the choicest specimens of a varied co ection, reads simply: "Mend your own breec s."—Youth's Companion. Whistled as She Sang. The man who knew many things was instructing the new and verdant stenographer as to the use of the va- rious office appliances, and finally he introduced her to the speaking tube. "Now, see," said the man, "you put one tube to your ear and the other to your mouth, then whistle." "Into which one do I whistle'' asked the guileless stenographer. "Heavens," cried the man, "which one do you suppose you whistle in, the one at your ear or the one at your mouth?" "That was what I wanted to know," said the stenographer, "for I whistle as I sing, entirely by ear."—Memphis Scimitar. Deserved Acquittal.

Clapp has been elected senator without theil1,knowl- edge or consent, the Minnesota colony at Washington professes to be highly pleased at the result, and will extend a cordial welcome upon his arrive at the national capitol. This is very nice upon the part of those who pro- fess to control the potics of our state at long range. It was some- what a matter of doubt whether they would permit him to take his seat. The nomination of M. E. Clapp as United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death of C. K. Davis is not only a credit to the republican party, but to the entire people of Minnesota. He is un- questionably the ablest and most available man for the position, and the action of the republican legisla- tive caucus Saturday is rati- fied by an overwhelming majority of , their constituents. At the masonic grand lode held at St. Paul on Wednesday and Thurs- day G. S. Ives, of St. Peter, was elected grand master; H. R. Adams, of Minneapolis, deputy grand master; W. A.

Gray and Mrs. Lewis and her daughter Mae have just moved, although thousands of dollars have recently been spent upon it. Situated on the hanks of the St. Croix a most lovely view of the lake and railroads is afforded, as also the prin- cipal business street of the city. But oue room in the structure is without its water view. The property is owned by Miss Lewis, and the entire summer and autumn have been spent by her in overseeing the additional improvements and changes that have been made. Every detail has been under her own supervision, and at times as many as six men have been employed at once in the different de- partments required by masonry, plumbing, electric lighting, papering, draping, and putting in telephonic connections. The most of these workmen came from the cities Each room is a bower of beauty, with every tint harmonizing, from parlor to kitchen. A radiator in every room receives warmth from the furnace below, and the bath room above with its marble fittings is sup- plied with hot and cold water as well as the kitchen and basement. It is of no use to attempt a de- scription of the parlor with its grand piano and solid mahogany furniture and silken and lace draperies, nor the other rooms with appointments in keeping with their uses, but the won- der of it all to my mind is how Miss Lewis has planned the whole and made no mistakes and used every inch of available space. The style of the cottage is unique, and one comes upon so many little cozy corners and closets, tucked away in such odd places as to be complete surprises, and pleasing ones too. Miss Lewis would evidently make a fine architect should she give her attention to that branch. It is to be hoped when the "conquer- ing hero" comes he also will harmon- ize with the rest of the appointments. Randolph Items. Mrs. 11. A McElrath, of Rich Val- ley, is down on a visit.

John Kirchner, a well known farm- er"of Inver drove, was killed near bis home, about a mile east of Wes- cott, last Saturday night by a freight train on the Milwaukee Road. He retired about seven p. m., but when he left the house is not known. The remains were horribly mangled. F. W. Kramer, coroner, was summoned, but an inquest was not considered necessary. He was aged sixty-four years, and leaves a wife, four sons, and three daughters. , The funeral was held from the German Lutheran Church, Inver Grove, on Tuesday:'' ThedUtillty Club. The young ladies of the Metho- dist Church have organized a society called the Utility Club, with the fol- lowing officers: President.—Mrs. W. E. Bennette. Vice President. -Mies FrancesM.Truax. Secretary.—Miss Nellie Welch. Treasurer,—Miss Stella Stebbins. ELECTRICAL NOTES. Hews aad Discoveries of Interest About the Magic Current. George Anderson, a Scotchman, has recently patented in this country a method of setting diamonds or other precious stones by electricity. A German savant insists that, bar- ring accidents, the exact duration of any person's life can be determin__ed by means of the X rays. To an already long list of names of electrical units, many of them not in use except by the hypertechnical, two more have been added by the Paris electrical congress—the "gauss" for the unit of magnetic field intensity and the "maxwell" for the unit of magnetic flux. A Russian medical man has decided that the electric light is least injurious to the eyes. He says that the oftener the lids are closed the greater the fa- tigue and consequent injury. By ex- periments he finds that the lids would close with different illuminations per minute: Candle light, 6.8; gas, 2.8; sun, 2.2; electric _light, 1.8. A new kind of steam generator called an electric calorifactor in which the necessary heat for vaporizing water is produced by an electric arc which ad- vantageously replaces fuel was exhibit- ed at the Paris exposition and is re- markable on account of its simplicity and the many applications to which it can be adapted. Automobilism and the increasing ne- cessity for some form of traction for goods and passengers better suited to cities than that furnished by the horse have given another impetus to the search for a storage battery that com- bines lightness with high output and enough mechanical and electrical strength to insure long life. Nothing is more urgently needed, and nothing seems further from attainment. For many years inventors have worked at this fascinating problem, but little has been done to improve the accumulator since its invention more than 20 years ago. A new electricity meter has been patented in London in which the con- ventional balance spring is substituted by an electromagnetic device to bring the escapement wheel to the central position. This wheel has a number of wires diametrically attached to it and is surrounded by a coil through which passes the current to be measured. The rapidity of the oscillation of the bal- ance wheel to a certain extent is pro- portional to the current. Should an extra powerful current happen to trav- erse the coil or should the current be suddenly increased in voltage, aux- iliary devices are provided to prevent the balance wheel when near the cen- tral position remaining stationary at that point. These secondary appur- tenances also serve to set the balance wheel in motion with a small current. In other respects the appliance resem- bles the ordinary type of meter.—Sci- entiflc American. Strike Insurance In Austria. A number of Austrian manufacturers have recently formed an association for insurance against strikes, -says a United States consul. It is the object of the association to indemnify its sev- eral members for all losses sustained by them from unjust strikes which may break out in their respective es- tablishments, whether voluntary, sym- pathetic or forced. Each member is to pay a weekly premium equal to from 3 to 4 per cent of the amount of his pay roll. The indemnity to be paid to him in case of a strike is to be, tentatively, 50 per cent of the wages paid to his employees for the week next preceding the suspension of work. It is provided, however, that no indem- nity shall be paid if a committee of confidential agents appointed by the as- sociation shall, after a full investiga- tion of all the circumstances, find the strike a justifiable one. It is worthy of note that a report upon and discussion of the subject "In- surance Against Strikes" formed a prominent feature of the programme of the national convention of Austrian manufacturers. It appears that this movement of in- dustrial employers is not confined to Austria It Is reported that a similar insurance association, though on a smaller scale, has been organized in Leipeic. Both the Austrian and Ger- man associations, it appears, recognize In principle the justness of strikes, which is, at least in this country, an important concession to labor. Whether this recognition will have any practical result remains for the present a matter of conjecture.—Scientific American. Production of Fullers Earth. The production of fuller's earth in the United States has increased greatly in the last five years, though recently It has shown a decline owing to large im- portations of the English material, which is preferred for filtering cotton- seed and lard oils. The chief source of the material in the United States is Quincy, Florida, though deposits have been found in New York, Colorado and Utah, as well as one of a promising na- ture in South Dakota, which furnishes almost an exact duplicate of the Eng- lish earth. The American product is largely used as a substitute for bone- black in the filtering of mineral oils. As the cottonseed oil business is grow- ing rapidly there promises to be a large demand for the English earth and naturally for such of the domestic material as comes up to the standard.— New York Evening Post. Located the noise. A little 4 -year-old was taken on s visit to grandmamma in the country. There for the first time be had a view of a cow. He would stand and look on while the man milked and ask all man- ner of questions. In this way he learn- ed that thelong crooked branches on the cow's head were horns. Now, the little fellow knew of only one kind of horn, and a few days after obtaining this information, hearing a strange kind of bellowing noise in the yard, he ran out to ascertain its cause. .In a few minutes he returned with wonder and delight depicted on his countenance, ex- claiming: "Mamma, mammal Oh, do come out here! The cow's blowing her horns!"—Exchange. Don't quarrel if you can help it. A quarrel is never made up.—Atchison Globe. Here Early and to Stay. In the very oldest fossil bearing rocks no insects are found. The very oldest fossil is a kind of polyp, making reefs of limestone when as yet the insects had not appeared, and it "flourished" in Canada. The first insect known to have exist- ed, a creature of such vast antiquity that it deserves all the respect which the parvenu than can summon and of- fer to it, was—a cockroach. This, the father of all black beetles, probably ked on the earth in solitary magnifl- c ce when not only kitchens, but even kitchen middens, were undreamed of, possibly millions of years before neo - Mille man had even a back cave to of- fer, with the remains of last night's supper, for the cockroach of the period to enjoy. His discovery established the fact that in the silurian period there were insects, though, as the only piece of his remains found was a wing, there has been room for dispute as to the ex- act species. Mr. Goss in his preface to the second edition of his book notes says that what is probably a still older insect has been found in the lower silurian in Sweden. This was not a cockroach, but apparently something worse. If the Latin name, Protocimex silurius, be lit- erally translated it means the original silurian bug.—Spectator. Animals Without Feet. The hoofed animals, like the horse and the stag, have, strictly speaking, no feet, for they walk on their nails, and their feet have become part of their legs. The advantage seems to be a lengthening of the stride, just as a trained athlete learns to run on his toes to increase his pace. There is also the further advantage of no soft part to be injured by contact with the ground. Some monkeys have four hands, which must be a great advantage in climbing. The absence of legs as well as feet is an advantage to many animals that have to travel rapidly through the water or between the branches of trees or other obstructions. Legs would be but an obstruction to the tadpole while he swims by means of his powerful tail, but w n he leaves the water legs and fee come an advantage. So the snake is ble to creep through underwood and small holes with far greater ease with- out legs, and even the slow worm which seems such a helpless animal on fiat ground, can creep through a hedge with remarkable ease and speed. The rudiments of legs are to be found in many snakes, so that there can be but little doubt that the absence of legs has proved an advantage and that natural selection has removed them. The Shrinkage of England. With regard to the east coast a sorry story has to be told, the county of Yorkshire, 'for instance, from Bridling- ton to Spurn Head, has been disappear- ing, it is calculated, at an average rate of six feet a year. It is said that care- ful observation of a certain 12 mile stretch shows that the cliffs 40 feet high have been eaten away by the waves for 132 feet in 40 years. It is, however, at Spurn Head that the great- est ravages have taken place. In Edward I's time the village of Ravenspur, a seaport near Spurn Head, sent more than one member to par- liament; in 1399 and 1471 Henry IV and Edward IV, respectively, lauded there, but very soon after the latter's visit the entire town was swept away by the sea. Today the village of Kiln - sea alone stands upon the bead; the old site of the village, once a fair place on a hill, with a fine old church, destroyed by the waves in 1826, is now some hundreds of yards below high water mark, and when New Kilnsea joins it the sea and the Humber will not take long to destroy the entire promontory and make things very unpleasant at Grimsby.—Good Words. One View of Our Women. American women separate them- selves more each year from the life of the country and affect to smile at any of their number who honestly wish to be of service to the nation. They, like the French aristocracy, are perfectly willing, even anxious, to fill agreeable diplomatic posts at first class foreign capitals, and are naively astonished when their offers of service are not ac- cepted with gratitude by the authori- ties at Washington. But let a husband propose to his better half some humble position in the machinery of our gov- ernment and see what the lady's answer will be. A New York woman was transplanted to a western city, where she was told that "the ladies of the place expected her to become their social leader." "I don't see anything to lead," was the amiable response.— From Eliot Gregory's "Worldly Ways." • Gross Ingratttune. Elizabeth Cady Stanton used to tell the story of a band of good women who furnished the means for educat- ing a poor young meta for the ministry, who rewarded their kindness and self sacrifice by preaching his first sermon from the text, "Let your women keep silence in the churches." Somewhat similar was the experi- ence of Editor Cadby of the Whang- ville Patriot. He tells It in this wise: "I gave that boy of mine a college education. I had to economize, but I did it. Through my acquaintance with a friend in the big city I got him a i job on a first class city newspaper. 1 I could have made good use of him in my own office, but I wanted to do bet- ter et ter for him than that. How do you , suppose he repaid me? The first thing he did after he got his chair warm in his new job, by George, was to write a two column burlesque on country printing offices!" Wage. In Ragland. The annual report on the changes in rates of wages and hours of labor in Great Britain duringthe year 1899 has just been issued. Te prosperity of the country was such that the percentage Cali and examine specimens and of the unemployed was the lowest re- corded since 1890. The changes of prices- 313 Second Street.

Clapp has been elected senator without theil1,knowl- edge or consent, the Minnesota colony at Washington professes to be highly pleased at the result, and will extend a cordial welcome upon his arrive at the national capitol. This is very nice upon the part of those who pro- fess to control the potics of our state at long range. It was some- what a matter of doubt whether they would permit him to take his seat. The nomination of M. E. Clapp as United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death of C. K. Davis is not only a credit to the republican party, but to the entire people of Minnesota. He is un- questionably the ablest and most available man for the position, and the action of the republican legisla- tive caucus Saturday is rati- fied by an overwhelming majority of , their constituents. At the masonic grand lode held at St. Paul on Wednesday and Thurs- day G. S. Ives, of St. Peter, was elected grand master; H. R. Adams, of Minneapolis, deputy grand master; W. A. McGonagle, of Duluth, senior grand warden; Enoch Stott, of Winona. junior grand warden; J. H. Thompson, Minneapolis, grand treas- urer; Thomas Montgomery, St. Paul. graud secretary. Two hundred lodges were represented. Several • appointments were an- nounced on Monday. F. Schiff - man. of St. Paul, is oil inspector; W. W. P. McConnell, of Mankato, com- missioner of the food and dairy de- partment: S. F. Fullerton, of St. Paul, executive agent of the game and fish commission: C. T. Trow- bridge, of Minneapolis, custodian of the capitol; D. C. Li.ghthourne, of Ada, assistant insurance commis- sioner, - - Legislative Notes. Mr. Pennington has been appointed a member of the joint committee to investigate the discrepancy in the amendment to the law taxing express companies, as•passed by the house at four and a half per cent and signed by the governor at five per cent. 31r. \\ hdford has introduced a bill providing for a commission to codify the general laws. With the appointment, of Maj. E: D. Libbey, of St. Paul, as adjutant general, and E. A. Nelson, of Hal - lock, as state librarian, the most im- 'portant places have now been filled. A number of assistants and members of boards are announced from day to day. J. H. Southall, the St. Paul forger of government time checks, has beeu paroled, owing to the serious illness of his wife, a former Hastings- girl. So far as he is personally concerned it should .have been a life sentence. G. T. Rice, a former member of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment from Red Winghas been deported from Manila for publishing an article re- flecting upon the captain of the port. C. N.Cosgrove,of LeSueur, has been re -appointed on the state public school board, and J. H. Rich, of Red Wing, on the state training school board. The Buckman Hotel at Little Falls was burned Saturday morning with contents. Loss $30,000; insur- ance $3,500. E. H. Dearth, of St. Paul, has been appointed insurance com m issioner, a position held by him under Gov. Clough. Asylum Notes. One of the valuable farm horses died yesterday. P. W. Barton, of Faribault, was the guest of Supt. Robert Carmichael. The inmates completed putting up about one hundred and sixty tons of ice from the Vermillion Saturday. The social hop given by the em- ployes last Friday evening was at- tended by about"seventy couples, and an exceedingly pleasant time had. Music by the Select Orchestra. When M. E. Clapp left the capitol Saturday after his nomination by the republican caucus, he was met by a newsboy with extra editions of an evening paper announcing his nomination. ' The black eagle bought one, handing- fog horn, as the newsie is familiarly known, a silver quarter. He did not wait for the change, either.—St. Paul Globe. The other day Henry Rahman, of West Albany, killed a monster wild cat. It weighed fully sixty pounds. The animal was caught in a trap by both front feet, and Mr. Rahman killed it with a club.— 1Tabashailerald. Burnsville Items. M. Allen has opened a wood yard in Hamilton. P. J.

Mr. and Mrs. James Lannon, of Credit River, visited here Monday. Lawrence Thornton is still quite sick, Bright's disease being the cause. John Reiley, o€—Glendale, is suffer- ing from a severe attack of lung fever. John McNervey is confined to his bed with paralysis, and unable to help himself. Mrs. Anne McNervey has entirely lost her sight. Rheumatism is the supposed cause. Cole Conroy and Pat McCann are about to open the saloon lately vacat- ed by M. Allen in Hamilton. Bryan McDermott is suffering with Bright's disease, and is not able to go out any distance when the weather is cold. Tim Slater left last week for Wah- peton, N. D.. after spending a few weeks with his old schoolmates and relatives here. Ed Coffey is about to' be married to Miss Corrigan, of Inver Grove, the banns having been published last Sunday for the second time. James Sheridan sustained a severe iujury on Friday. He was carrying a basket of wood and slipped side- ways, striking on the basket and fracturing four ribs. A grand ball was given in the town hall at Hamilton on Monday night, and a good time resulted. Several couples from St. Paul were in attend- ance, besides representatives from Lakeville, Credit River, and Eagan. W. H. Carr has moved the old schoolhouse of Hamilton on the foundation of Sam Wood's saloon recently burned, and will open a saloon there as soon as necessary changes can be made. Barney Keegan left here on Thurs- day to engage in surveying at the Red Lake reservation. He had a com- fortable house on runners, containing two bunks at one end, a stove at the ether, and a large hollow bench with sufficient stores for the occupants. A window in front gives light, and with one glass removed allows the reins to carne to the driver s hand. Cozy is the proper word to designate the out- fit. John Keegan, Henry Calaghan, Dai Keegan, John Davis, and Jim Casey are his assistants. Langdon Items. Mrs. Laura Whitbred has a new cutter. Will Schnell was home from St. Croix Falls last week. Peter Cummings lost one of his work horses last week. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Nelson has been quite sick. Mies Sylvia, Benson, of Newport, is stopping with Mrs. W. W. Keene.

A party went out and surprised V. F. Bother last Monday evening, and good enjoyable time was reported. E. Slocum believes that the twen- r tieth century is just about right. He has three cows on his farm that are mothers of twin calves this y'ear.— Northfield News. a Pt. Douglas Items. T. B. Leavitt and C. R. Whitaker went out to Ellsworth Wednesday in search of nsilch cows. But little has been said in Prescott papers of the new home into which Mr. and Mrs. A. Gray and Mrs. Lewis and her daughter Mae have just moved, although thousands of dollars have recently been spent upon it. Situated on the hanks of the St. Croix a most lovely view of the lake and railroads is afforded, as also the prin- cipal business street of the city. But oue room in the structure is without its water view. The property is owned by Miss Lewis, and the entire summer and autumn have been spent by her in overseeing the additional improvements and changes that have been made. Every detail has been under her own supervision, and at times as many as six men have been employed at once in the different de- partments required by masonry, plumbing, electric lighting, papering, draping, and putting in telephonic connections. The most of these workmen came from the cities Each room is a bower of beauty, with every tint harmonizing, from parlor to kitchen. A radiator in every room receives warmth from the furnace below, and the bath room above with its marble fittings is sup- plied with hot and cold water as well as the kitchen and basement. It is of no use to attempt a de- scription of the parlor with its grand piano and solid mahogany furniture and silken and lace draperies, nor the other rooms with appointments in keeping with their uses, but the won- der of it all to my mind is how Miss Lewis has planned the whole and made no mistakes and used every inch of available space. The style of the cottage is unique, and one comes upon so many little cozy corners and closets, tucked away in such odd places as to be complete surprises, and pleasing ones too. Miss Lewis would evidently make a fine architect should she give her attention to that branch. It is to be hoped when the "conquer- ing hero" comes he also will harmon- ize with the rest of the appointments. Randolph Items. Mrs. 11. A McElrath, of Rich Val- ley, is down on a visit.

John Kirchner, a well known farm- er"of Inver drove, was killed near bis home, about a mile east of Wes- cott, last Saturday night by a freight train on the Milwaukee Road. He retired about seven p. m., but when he left the house is not known. The remains were horribly mangled. F. W. Kramer, coroner, was summoned, but an inquest was not considered necessary. He was aged sixty-four years, and leaves a wife, four sons, and three daughters. , The funeral was held from the German Lutheran Church, Inver Grove, on Tuesday:'' ThedUtillty Club. The young ladies of the Metho- dist Church have organized a society called the Utility Club, with the fol- lowing officers: President.—Mrs. W. E. Bennette. Vice President. -Mies FrancesM.Truax.

George Anderson, a Scotchman, has recently patented in this country a method of setting diamonds or other precious stones by electricity. A German savant insists that, bar- ring accidents, the exact duration of any person's life can be determin__ed by means of the X rays. To an already long list of names of electrical units, many of them not in use except by the hypertechnical, two more have been added by the Paris electrical congress—the "gauss" for the unit of magnetic field intensity and the "maxwell" for the unit of magnetic flux. A Russian medical man has decided that the electric light is least injurious to the eyes. He says that the oftener the lids are closed the greater the fa- tigue and consequent injury. By ex- periments he finds that the lids would close with different illuminations per minute: Candle light, 6.8; gas, 2.8; sun, 2.2; electric _light, 1.8. A new kind of steam generator called an electric calorifactor in which the necessary heat for vaporizing water is produced by an electric arc which ad- vantageously replaces fuel was exhibit- ed at the Paris exposition and is re- markable on account of its simplicity and the many applications to which it can be adapted. Automobilism and the increasing ne- cessity for some form of traction for goods and passengers better suited to cities than that furnished by the horse have given another impetus to the search for a storage battery that com- bines lightness with high output and enough mechanical and electrical strength to insure long life. Nothing is more urgently needed, and nothing seems further from attainment. For many years inventors have worked at this fascinating problem, but little has been done to improve the accumulator since its invention more than 20 years ago. A new electricity meter has been patented in London in which the con- ventional balance spring is substituted by an electromagnetic device to bring the escapement wheel to the central position. This wheel has a number of wires diametrically attached to it and is surrounded by a coil through which passes the current to be measured. The rapidity of the oscillation of the bal- ance wheel to a certain extent is pro- portional to the current. Should an extra powerful current happen to trav- erse the coil or should the current be suddenly increased in voltage, aux- iliary devices are provided to prevent the balance wheel when near the cen- tral position remaining stationary at that point. These secondary appur- tenances also serve to set the balance wheel in motion with a small current. In other respects the appliance resem- bles the ordinary type of meter.—Sci- entiflc American. Strike Insurance In Austria. A number of Austrian manufacturers have recently formed an association for insurance against strikes, -says a United States consul. It is the object of the association to indemnify its sev- eral members for all losses sustained by them from unjust strikes which may break out in their respective es- tablishments, whether voluntary, sym- pathetic or forced. Each member is to pay a weekly premium equal to from 3 to 4 per cent of the amount of his pay roll. The indemnity to be paid to him in case of a strike is to be, tentatively, 50 per cent of the wages paid to his employees for the week next preceding the suspension of work. It is provided, however, that no indem- nity shall be paid if a committee of confidential agents appointed by the as- sociation shall, after a full investiga- tion of all the circumstances, find the strike a justifiable one. It is worthy of note that a report upon and discussion of the subject "In- surance Against Strikes" formed a prominent feature of the programme of the national convention of Austrian manufacturers. It appears that this movement of in- dustrial employers is not confined to Austria It Is reported that a similar insurance association, though on a smaller scale, has been organized in Leipeic. Both the Austrian and Ger- man associations, it appears, recognize In principle the justness of strikes, which is, at least in this country, an important concession to labor. Whether this recognition will have any practical result remains for the present a matter of conjecture.—Scientific American. Production of Fullers Earth. The production of fuller's earth in the United States has increased greatly in the last five years, though recently It has shown a decline owing to large im- portations of the English material, which is preferred for filtering cotton- seed and lard oils. The chief source of the material in the United States is Quincy, Florida, though deposits have been found in New York, Colorado and Utah, as well as one of a promising na- ture in South Dakota, which furnishes almost an exact duplicate of the Eng- lish earth. The American product is largely used as a substitute for bone- black in the filtering of mineral oils. As the cottonseed oil business is grow- ing rapidly there promises to be a large demand for the English earth and naturally for such of the domestic material as comes up to the standard.— New York Evening Post. Located the noise. A little 4 -year-old was taken on s visit to grandmamma in the country. There for the first time be had a view of a cow. He would stand and look on while the man milked and ask all man- ner of questions. In this way he learn- ed that thelong crooked branches on the cow's head were horns. Now, the little fellow knew of only one kind of horn, and a few days after obtaining this information, hearing a strange kind of bellowing noise in the yard, he ran out to ascertain its cause. .In a few minutes he returned with wonder and delight depicted on his countenance, ex- claiming: "Mamma, mammal Oh, do come out here! The cow's blowing her horns!"—Exchange. Don't quarrel if you can help it. A quarrel is never made up.—Atchison Globe. Here Early and to Stay. In the very oldest fossil bearing rocks no insects are found. The very oldest fossil is a kind of polyp, making reefs of limestone when as yet the insects had not appeared, and it "flourished" in Canada. The first insect known to have exist- ed, a creature of such vast antiquity that it deserves all the respect which the parvenu than can summon and of- fer to it, was—a cockroach. This, the father of all black beetles, probably ked on the earth in solitary magnifl- c ce when not only kitchens, but even kitchen middens, were undreamed of, possibly millions of years before neo - Mille man had even a back cave to of- fer, with the remains of last night's supper, for the cockroach of the period to enjoy. His discovery established the fact that in the silurian period there were insects, though, as the only piece of his remains found was a wing, there has been room for dispute as to the ex- act species. Mr. Goss in his preface to the second edition of his book notes says that what is probably a still older insect has been found in the lower silurian in Sweden. This was not a cockroach, but apparently something worse. If the Latin name, Protocimex silurius, be lit- erally translated it means the original silurian bug.—Spectator. Animals Without Feet. The hoofed animals, like the horse and the stag, have, strictly speaking, no feet, for they walk on their nails, and their feet have become part of their legs. The advantage seems to be a lengthening of the stride, just as a trained athlete learns to run on his toes to increase his pace. There is also the further advantage of no soft part to be injured by contact with the ground. Some monkeys have four hands, which must be a great advantage in climbing. The absence of legs as well as feet is an advantage to many animals that have to travel rapidly through the water or between the branches of trees or other obstructions. Legs would be but an obstruction to the tadpole while he swims by means of his powerful tail, but w n he leaves the water legs and fee come an advantage. So the snake is ble to creep through underwood and small holes with far greater ease with- out legs, and even the slow worm which seems such a helpless animal on fiat ground, can creep through a hedge with remarkable ease and speed. The rudiments of legs are to be found in many snakes, so that there can be but little doubt that the absence of legs has proved an advantage and that natural selection has removed them. The Shrinkage of England. With regard to the east coast a sorry story has to be told, the county of Yorkshire, 'for instance, from Bridling- ton to Spurn Head, has been disappear- ing, it is calculated, at an average rate of six feet a year. It is said that care- ful observation of a certain 12 mile stretch shows that the cliffs 40 feet high have been eaten away by the waves for 132 feet in 40 years. It is, however, at Spurn Head that the great- est ravages have taken place. In Edward I's time the village of Ravenspur, a seaport near Spurn Head, sent more than one member to par- liament; in 1399 and 1471 Henry IV and Edward IV, respectively, lauded there, but very soon after the latter's visit the entire town was swept away by the sea. Today the village of Kiln - sea alone stands upon the bead; the old site of the village, once a fair place on a hill, with a fine old church, destroyed by the waves in 1826, is now some hundreds of yards below high water mark, and when New Kilnsea joins it the sea and the Humber will not take long to destroy the entire promontory and make things very unpleasant at Grimsby.—Good Words. One View of Our Women. American women separate them- selves more each year from the life of the country and affect to smile at any of their number who honestly wish to be of service to the nation. They, like the French aristocracy, are perfectly willing, even anxious, to fill agreeable diplomatic posts at first class foreign capitals, and are naively astonished when their offers of service are not ac- cepted with gratitude by the authori- ties at Washington. But let a husband propose to his better half some humble position in the machinery of our gov- ernment and see what the lady's answer will be. A New York woman was transplanted to a western city, where she was told that "the ladies of the place expected her to become their social leader." "I don't see anything to lead," was the amiable response.— From Eliot Gregory's "Worldly Ways." • Gross Ingratttune. Elizabeth Cady Stanton used to tell the story of a band of good women who furnished the means for educat- ing a poor young meta for the ministry, who rewarded their kindness and self sacrifice by preaching his first sermon from the text, "Let your women keep silence in the churches." Somewhat similar was the experi- ence of Editor Cadby of the Whang- ville Patriot. He tells It in this wise: "I gave that boy of mine a college education. I had to economize, but I did it. Through my acquaintance with a friend in the big city I got him a i job on a first class city newspaper. 1 I could have made good use of him in my own office, but I wanted to do bet- ter et ter for him than that. How do you , suppose he repaid me? The first thing he did after he got his chair warm in his new job, by George, was to write a two column burlesque on country printing offices!" Wage. In Ragland. The annual report on the changes in rates of wages and hours of labor in Great Britain duringthe year 1899 has just been issued. Te prosperity of the country was such that the percentage Cali and examine specimens and of the unemployed was the lowest re- corded since 1890. The changes of prices- 313 Second Street.

Three per Dent is about all the savings banks can pay, because the enorm ous amounts of money seeking in vestment have reduced interest rates to a very low figure. I beg to call your attention to the desirability of FIRST MORTGAGES on good property in St. Paul and Minneapolis. As you know the past ten years have reduced property values to a very low figure. At the same time the cities are prospering and growing rapidly. Real estate to the basis of all wealth, and although land is estimated at from one-third to one-half what it was considered worth during the boom, it is, through the general improve- ment in the city, really worth 'more. Well selected mortgages for not to exceed one-half present value of land and improvements are as safe as government bonds. The large life in- surance companies are loaning vast amounts at five, four and one-half, and, in some cases, as low as four per cent, and it is the opinion of the best financiers that, within a short time, not more than three or three and one-half per cent is to be depended upon. However, few of these companies will loan in smaller amounts than 410,000 on city property, because it requires just as much detail to keep the records of a mort- gage for 4800 as one for 450.000. Therefore, for a time at least. it is possible to obtain six per cent on small loans from 4200 to *5,000 on prop- erty which is unquestionable security. I have no difficulty in securing all the money I can place in large amounts, but cannot always procure small amounts (less tuan 410,000) and I have thany applications for loans of from $300 to 85,000 on prime security. Interest is payable semi-annually. Interest coupons may be made payable at any bank or at my office as preferred. Fire insurance, pay- able to lender, in case of loss, is kept in force. and all the lender has to do is to cut the coupons and leave them for collection. If you wish to invest your money at six per cent, kindly call upon me, or write, and I will give you full information. I think you will be pleased with my manner of doing business, and if you will investigate my character and reputation, and call upon me for information, will consider it a favor.

A loving song to one so very loving, With faith unfailing through unnumbered days, Were but to prove what needs not any proving, ' Yet love sings many lays. What can be said that is unsaid, heart's dearest? Still the old words we know are sometimes best. The things most precious oft are what lie nearest, Their value unexpressed. Ai the years wheel may they with every wheel- ing Bring in each season gifts they brought before, With added sweetness, memories and healing From out love's boundless store. So shall each year_give an increase of blessing And closer draw the ties already dear; What once perchance seemed scarcely worth pos- sessing Bas worth by love made Blear. With love begins our life, by love is tended, E'en though at times its rule is hard to see, Through ale life's phases till, 'the journey ended, Love perfected shall be. -C. hi. Payne in London Queen. SOAA00AA00AA00AA00AA0OVl A C • omical B Courtship. 1 g How a Young Man Outwitted a Watchful Mother, but Came gpp Near Losing His Reason. o My friend Derriman and I were spending our summer holidays in a quiet little country village. Being a keen fisherman most of my time was spent by the riverside; my friend thought fishing anything but sport, so he wau- dered about, as he told me,admiring the beauty of the scenery. The scenery I afterward discovered was a certain Miss Morley, to whom he had brought an introduction. When he had known her for about live days, he was thor- opghly convinced he was in love with her, and like other young men in sim- ilar conditions he was anxious to know his fate. He tried In vain to get her alone so that he could unburden his agitated mind, but circumstances, in' the shape of her mother, were against him. Now, Dolly's mother, though anxious to see her daughter well mar- ried, thought it improper to allow her to be alone with my handsome friend. If they went into the gardentogether, she went with them; if they sat down on a seat, she sat down beside them; if they wandered by the river in the moonlight, she would take poor George's arm. Derriman bore this bravely for some time, but at last he epuld stand it no longer and set his wits • to work to discover sonic means of evading dear Dolly's mamma. It was about this time that he con- fided his trouble to me. I sympathized with him, but could offer no solution to the problem. "I've got !t!" he shouted one evening, breaking in on my peaceful reveries. "Got what?" -I inquired anxiously, as I saw my friend careering wildly round the room. "I mean I can fix the old lady," he said, apparently surprised at my stu- pidity. "I thought it was her daughter you wanted?" "So I do, but I want her alone. I am going to get a tennis net and rack- ets sent from town and teach her to play," said he joyfully. "But don't you think Mrs. Morley will want to learn as well?" I asked. "Hang it all! They can't both learn at once, and while j'm teaching dear Dolly I can find out all I wish to know." I didn't admire the brilliancy of the idea, but that did not dampen his ardor. "As you are going up to town," he continued, "you may as well send a tennis set down -a cheap one, remem- ber." The following day I dispatched the net and a week later returned to finish my interrupted holiday. On going to the hotel I inquired for my friend and heard that he had been away all day, so I strolled down to the Morleys, where I thought I should find him. The garden in front of the house was deserted, so I walked around to the back door. As I stood there I beard the voice of old Mrs. Morley. She was having a confidential chat with a neighbor. "I am so relieved, dear Mrs. Gossip, for really I was run off my feet. They would walk for miles and miles, and there was I trudging after them. But now, thank goodness, he's taught her to play tennis, and I can sit here quite comfortable, and so long as 1 hear them calling, 'Are you ready?"'Play,' 'You serve' and 'Forty -fifteen' I know that all is well and that the net is be- tween thele*" "Fifteen all!" was just then wafted on the breeze. "There they go! Listen to that!" said old Mrs. Morley. Having discovered where my friend was, I walked up to the hedge behind which the tennis court had been made ' and looked wen. The court was there. The rackets lay on the grass, and balls were scattered about, but -no sign could I see of either George or Miss Morley. "Thirty -fifteen!" broke in on my re- flections. Puzzled, I walked to the gate, and there on a garden seat In the far corner sat George, his arm securely round DolIy's waist, and every now and then between his caresses he was shouting ost "Play!" "Fault!" "Forty -thirty!" "Deuce!" and then continuing his oc- cupation as if nothing had interrupted it. "What in the name of good fortune is the meaning of this?" I asked, going up to them. They both started, and a bright blush mounted the fair Dolly's cheek. George jumped up quickly. "You see," he explained, "we got so tired of playing -forty -fifteen -tennis that we -forty thirty -hit on this idea of pacifying the -game -old lady. She hears me calling out the score, and so she -are you ready? -thinks we are playing and does not disturb us. If I were to -fault! -stop calling out for one minute, you would see her head pop over that -fifteen all -hedge." This sort of thing had been going on for some time, and George had grown quite an adept at it. In fact, it was al- most impossible to talk to him now, for he would forget that Mrs. Morley was • not listening, and his conversation would be continually broken by "For- ty -fifteen" or "Thirty all," and I was beginning to get seriously alarmed about him. The climax came one evening when Mrs. Morley had asked us both to tea. George had been in a most nervous state all day, and the sight of our host- ess seemed to make him worse. Every time she spoke to him he would mur- mur some unintelligible remark, such as "Thirty all." At last Mrs. Morley became quite vexed and thought he had been drinking. I remonstrated with him, but to no effect. Dolly, seeing how strange he was, suggested another cup of tea. "How many lumps of sugar?" she asked. "Forty -love!" almost shouted George. "Sir," said Mrs. Morley severely, "how dare you speak to my daughter like that?" "Are you ready?" interjected George. "Ready for what?" asked Mrs. Mor- ley, perfectly amazed. "If you" - "Outside," interrupted Charles. "Sir, if you can't control yourself I'll go to the" - "Deuce!" roared George. This was too much for me, so I col- lared George and hurried him out into the garden. Poor Mrs. Morley flew off to her room, her head high in the air. Dolly followed me in tears. "I have been afraid of this all day," she sobbed. "He's been shouting the score so much lately that he can't seem to get it out of his head. Oh, can't you stop him?" "Play!" came faintly from George's lips. 'Please try," she pleaded. Still he kept on, so I hurried him back to the hotel, put him to bed and sent for a doctor. The man of medicine plied him with many questions, but the only replies he could get were "Forty -fifteen," "Forty -thirty," "Van- tage" and "Fault." An anxious week passed. Every available piece of ice In the village was melted on poor George's bead, and still he continued his raving. Time, the greatest of all physicians, however, accomplished what the ice failed to, and after a couple of weeks' complete rest and the careful nursing of Mrs. Morley and her daughter George recovered. Tennis is now no longer necessary. The court, the racket and the balls have disappeared, and George and Dolly stroll arm in arm through the garden without any fear of interruption, for Mrs. Morley . understands. - Chicago Times -Herald. The Pitt Diamond. While Pitt, the grandfather of Lord Chatham, was governor of Fort St. George in 1698 he became acquainted with a jewel merchant named Jam- chund, who brought a diamond of great size for sale. He asked £30,000 for it in the rough. It should, of course, have been bought on behalf' of the company, but Pitt. seeing money in it, could, not resist the temptation of making a pri- vate bargain. He became the possessor of the stone for the sum of £20,400, and. he was quite satisfied that he had be- haved honorably when he paid the man, who on his part was also content. But the diamond was known to be worth more than Jamchund had receiv- ed, and the transaction gave rise to a good deal of gossip, which in no way decreased when later on Pitt had the stone cut in England and sold it to the regent of France for £135,000. Even that enormous sum did not represent Its true value. The stone was set in the royal crown of France, and it is valued in the present day close upon half a million sterling. It weighed 410 carats in the rough, but the cutting reduced it to 136 carats. -Mrs. Penney's "Fort St. George, Madras." Insisted on a Chagge. The spick and span young officer who calmly takes command over veterans grown "gray in battle and victory" is sometimes an amusing person, particu- larly if a tense of his own importance Is unduly developed. On one occasion word was received In various South African camps that on such and such a morning every man in Officer -'s army must change his shirt. The Imperial Light horse, who form- ed part of the command, had only one shirt apiece, and that was on their backs. So a messenger was dispatched to explain. But the honorable and gal- lant officer, fresh from Sandhurst, knew his business. "If the men of the Imperial Light horsehave not got a second shirt," said he firmly, "let them change shirts with each other. My orders are imperative." And There He Was. "Yes," he said, "I think a man owes it to himself to choose a wife who can do housework, if necessary. Of course I wouldn't want my *bife to work in the kitchen, but she ought to be able to do so.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT. Papa Said There Was No Similarity In the Two Cases. "Papa," asked the little boy, "do you remember the first money you ever earned?" "Yes," said papa. "It was a nice, new, shiny 5 -cent piece that old Mr. Gregg, the grocer, gave me for doing about a quarter's worth of work in car- rying a load of potatoes into his cellar. I, worked all Saturday afternoon to earn that nickel, and when he paid me I ran three blocks home, tired as I was, to show it." "And did you put it in your little bank?" asked the little boy. "No; I got father's permission to spend it just as I pleased. However, I kept it for three or four days, just to have the satisfaction of having money of my owned, earned by my own eier- tions. And if I could have bought all the things I thought of buying with that nickel I would have had about $10 worth of books, toys, marbles and what not. Finally I made up my mind. What do you think I bought?" "I am sure I can't guess," said the little boy. "What did you buy, papa?" "1 went to the bakery and bought a custard pie." "Why, papa! And you said grandma always had custard pie at home and let you have a slice of it as soon as you got home from school!" "Yee, I used to get a slice, but not a whole pie, and she never let me eat it the way I wanted to. So I went to the bakery and bought my pie and borrow- ed a spoon from the baker and ate all the custard and left the crust. I never bad anything taste so good in all my life." "You never allow me to eat custard pie that way, papa," said the little boy. "Oh, that's different!" said papa. -In- dianapolis Press. PAINT ON INDIAN FACES. Nearly All It MeansSomethingto Those Initiated: The fact of the matter is that every paint mark on an Indian's face is a sign with a definite meaning which other Indians may read. When an In- dian puts on his full war paint, he decks himself not only with his own individual honors antj flistinctions won by his own bravery, but also with the special honors of his family or tribe. He may possess one mark of distinc- tion only or many. In fact, he may be so well off in this respect that, like some English noblemen, he is able to don a new distinction for every occa- sion. Sometimes he will wear all his honors at one time. Among the Indian tribes is one desig- nated by the symbol of the dogfsh, painted In reel on the face. The vari- ous parts of the fish are scattered heterogeneously on the surface of the face; the peculiarly long snout is paint- ed on the forehead, the gills are repre- sented by two curved lines below the eyes, while the tail is shown as cut in two and hanging from either nostril. When only one or two parts of an ani- mal are painted on a man's face, it I. an indication of inferiority; when the whole animal appears, even though in many oddly assorted parts, the sign is oue of great value and indicates a high rank. Very peculiar are some of the honor- able symbols painted on the Indians' faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl of all kinds -dog salmon, devilfish, starfish. woodpeckers, eagles, ravens, wolves, bears. sea lions and sea mon- sters, mosquitoes, frogs, mountain goats and all manner of foot, claw or beak marks -each with a special mean- ing of its own.-Pearson's Magazine. He Got Some Work to Do. "Prisoner," said the learned magis- trate to a lazy fellow before him, "this is the third time you've been here." "But, your honor," pleaded the pris- oner, "I've been trying to . get work. but couldn't." "You wouldn't work if you could Set it." "Yes, I would, your honor." "What kind of work?" "Anything, your honor, to long as la was honest work." "What kind of wages?" "Wages is no object, your honor; all I want is work, with food and Cloth- ing and shelter." "And you'd work if you had that sort of a job?" "Indeed. I would, your honor; only try me," and the tears actually came into his eyes. "Very well," said the magistrate kindly, "we'll give you a job with shelter, food and clothing combined. Six months' hard labor. Next' case." - Tit -Bits. Aspsragna With Oil.

ME1 The En .:ishman Caught On, An Englishman on bis first visit 1., this city with his family strolled down Broadway alone one night and dropped into a music hall. He had hardly been seated b'.efore two sketch artists perpe- trated the following! Persiflage -Hear about Jones? Terri- ble thing bappened to Jones. Badinage -No. Persiflage -yes. He dropped 350 feet. Badinage -you don't tell me? Of ce irse he was killed? I'ersiflage-No, not killed. They were pigs' feet. A half hour later the Briton grasped his sides and startled the house with an outburst of cacbinatory ecstasy. Re- covering, lie jumped up, hurried out of the music hall and soon reached his ho- tel. He stopped outside the door of his room and gave way again to a soul stir- ring laugh. Entering the room he im- mediately called to his wife: "Edith," he cried. "Oh, this is the jol- liest ever!" and he gave way again. His wife looked at him in frightened surprise. "Oh, Edith, did you ever hear about Percy Smitbers?" "No," "Bah Jove, the poor fellow fell 350 feet." "How dreadfully horrid! He must have been awfully mangled." "No. He fell on 350 pigs," and he ex- ploded again and did not subside until a half dozen bell boys rushed to his room to make solicitous inquiries. - New York Sun. How Water Causes a Fire. One would hardly believe that a bot- tle of water standing harmlessly on a table could be the cause of a fire. Nevertheless such is the case. In my laboratory the other day I detected the odor of burning wood and, seeking the cause, noticed a tiny wreath of smoke rising from the counter. Setting aside a flask of water that stood close by I sponged over the burning spot with a damp cloth. Shortly after I again de- tected the odor of burning wood, when, to my surprise, I discovered another burning spot on the table close to the water flask. The flask was standing in the sunlight, thereby concentrating the rays to a focus on the top of the table, acting in this case as a burning glass. A handful of highly combusti- ble material was thrown over the burn- ing spot, catching fire almost immedi- ately. I cite this instance merely as a warn- ing to chemists and apothecaries, who may not realize how easily a fire may be started in their storerooms by the sun shining through bottles, flasks and carboys of liquid, converting them for the time being into burning glasses of great power. I have in mind now the instance of a fire originating in a storeroom from this cause. -New York Times. Jack's Account of It. One of Uncle Sam's able seamen, who was in an "Owl" train that was wrecked, thus described his experience: "It was a little after two bells this morning and I was smoking my pipe in the 'Owl's' stern galley. The first thing I knew of any happening `was when I was thrown violently from my seat. After the pitching and jumping bad stopped, I crawled out and saw that the steering gear of the 'Owl' had been carried away, causing her to part amidships. The after end listed badly to starboard and went aground, throw- ing all hands in a heap to the listed side. No lives were lost, however, though all were badly -shaken up and somewhat damaged. One unlucky pas- senger bunted the glass out of a port - bole, cutting her head and face quite badly. After wigwagging the craft coming up behind to change her course, the forward end of our craft picked up the passengers and crew and continued her voyage. As for me, I will be glad when I am safe aboard the Albatross again. This cruising overland is too rough and choppy for me." -Argonaut. Breaking the News Gently. There is a man In Liverpool who is renowned for his imperturbable calm- ness on every imaginable occasion. One day he strolled leisurely into the office of a friend. "I have just had a chat with your wife," be said by way of beginning. "Why, I didn't know she was in town." "Oh, she wasn't in town," replied the other. "I called at your house." "I didn't know she was receiving to- day," said the husband with some sur- prise. "I thought she bad a headache." "She didn't mention it to me," said the calm man. "There was a crowd at the house." "A crowd!" echoed the husband. "Yes," went on the calm man. "They came with the fire engine." "The fire engine!" gasped the hus- band. "Oh, it's all right," went on the calm man. "It's all out now. It wasn't much of a fire, but I thought you'd like to know it." -London Tit -Bits. A Nervy Museum Manager. Sarah Bernhardt said that one night during a visit to America when she was playing "Jeanne d'Arc," she hurt her knee with a rusty nail. "The wound gave me considerable pain and trou- ble," she said, "and it was thought that a slight operation might possibly be re- quired. This fact appeared in the daily papers, and a day or two afterward I received a telegram from the manager of a museum in Chicago saying that if it was necessary to amputate my leg might be please have it.

"Hannah, there is no use putting it off any longer. There is Dr. Jones over there. He promises to extract teeth without pain. Why don't you see him and have it over with?" Hannah scarcely relished the sug- gestion, but after another night's suf- fering sorrowfully announced, "'Deed, I kin fess stand dis no longah," and asked permission to go to Dr. Jones. Her mistress rejoiced in the thought that the agony was at last to be end- ed. When an hour later, however, she beheld Hannah march down the area- way steps, the whites of her eyes flash- ing and her head bobbing with a ve- hemence born of righteous fury, vision not only of lost molars, but of a de- parting cook came before her. She en- tered with the dignity of an insulted African queen. "Anything wrong, Hannah? Didn't he get the right teeth?" ventured the mistress. "Got de right teef all right and a dol- lah an a half besides. Yas'm, he did so." "Well, did he hurt you?" "No'm, can't say he did." "Then what's the matter?"

"Show me a man who does not appreciate humor," said John Kendrick Bangs to me, "and I will show you a man who is morbid, cynical, un- responsive to every call of nature. Such a man is worse than a pessimist and more to be pitied. Take some of the greatest and most successful men in the world. Humor has always play- ed an Important part in their lives. Often a funny incident bas marked the turning point of a great man's career. Often some ridiculous con- dition has been the impetus of a new start in life." Mr. Bangs is right. Did not Colum- bus' apparently hopeless task of stand- ing an egg on end make thinkers of the wise men who sat around him? Was not George Washington credited with being a master of the truth be- cause he once saw a boy punished for trying to jest with his father and final- ly became, as Mr. Bangs facetiously remarks, so "he couldn't tell a lie even if lie saw one?" And didn't Johann Gutenberg Invent the printing press by working out a theory which found its origin while he was playing leap- frog with some boys on damp ground?

Trying to Make Forty Dollars. Here is a hard luck story apropos of efforts to make a Little sum in Wall street: A young man started with $100 and ran 1t up to $9,960, or $40 less than an even $10,000. The desire to round out the $10,000 goaded him on. He said to his broker, "If I can make that additional $-10 on a quick turn I will draw out lay $10,000 and invest it in real estate." It was a strong bull mar- ket, but things appeared sky high, and he picked out an active stock to sell short. I think he landed on T. C. and L, which had a phenomenal rise and was due to drop anywhere from 10 to 50 points. He sold 100 shares at par, intending to close it out at 99. But instead of going down the blamed thing soared to 126. At every three points' gain he sold another 100 until he was carrying all he could tote. In 24 hours he loA nearly every cent it had taken him three months to make. With what little he had left he bought T. I. on the recession to 116, friends of the Hanover National bank assuring him that it was going to 150. Then cathe the fireworks and the funeral.

Settles the Counterfeits. When a person comes into "Old Man" Smith's cigar store and hands him money In return for something pur- chased, the old man can ascertain' by a single glance or touch whether the money is good or counterfeit. If the money is bad, he puts it under the to- bacco cutter. or his money tester, as he calls it, and severs 1t in two. One day last week a rough looking young man came into his store and asted for a piece of chewing tobacco. At the same time he laid a 50 cent piece lightly on the counter. The old man picked up the money and looked at it. It had a dull color and was not as heavy as an ordinary half dollar. The proprietor walked over to where the tobacco was, and, taking down a piece of the brand the young man bad called for, be pretended to put it under the tobacco cutter, but instead be slip- ped in the counterfeit piece and cut it into halves. He then banded the two pieces to the young man and command- ed him to "get," which be promptly did. -Chicago Record. o Probably, "It must have taken lots of nerve for him to laugh and joke with the doctors while they were taking bis leg off al the knee.

Beguiling Childhood. When my little son could scarcely walk, says Rev. C. T. Brady, a west- ern missionary, I took him to the cathedral one day, when I returned for something I bad forgotten after morning service. I left the child in the nave, and when I went back to him he had ad- vanced half way up the middle aisle and was standing where the sun threw a golden tight about his curly head. A tiny object he was in that great church. It was very still. He was looking about in every direction in the most curious and eager way. To my fancy he seemed like a little angel when he said in his sweet, childish treble, which echoed and re-echoed beneath the vaulted roof: "Papa, where's Jesus? Where': Jesus?" He had been told that the church was the house of the gaviour, and on this, his first, visit be expected to see his Lord. . That baby Is quite grown up now Not in the faintest partieullar does he resemble an angel. The other day, when I rode off to the wars, he aston ished even me with this request: "Papa, if you get wounded, don't for- get to bring me the bullet that knocks you out. I want it for a souvenir for my collection." Fortunately for me, if unfortunatel3 for him, I brought him no bullet. • Raising the Fee. In that particular year it happened that the national political convention of which we are speaking was held hi some other town than Chicago, and the place was crowded. This is how it came to pass that Colo nel Hankthunder, who went merely as a prominent citizen of the republic and had not taken the precaution to engage a room beforehand, found himself shut out of the hotels and compelled tc choose lodgings from a list of eligible private dwellings. The woman of the house near the corner of Fish street and Potato ave- nue, the first residence at which he called, showed him the only room she had to spare. "That suits me, ma'am," he said. "How much will it cost me for board and lodging here for the next Pout days?" "Well," she answered, "this is not a regular boarding house, and I am only taking boarders because I want to ed- ucate my boy for a lawyer. I shall have to charge you $6 for the foul days." "Madam," loftily rejoined the colonel, taking out his pocketbook, "you will never educate your boy for a lawyer by giving such an example as that. I will pay you $10." -Chicago Tribune. Not Second Sight. In happenings that savor of the su- pernatural there is often less rather than more than is "dreamt of in philos• ophy." In the English county of Wiltshire there lived a woman whose deceased husband had been a pig dealer. After his death it was her habit to remark to chance visitors, without looking out the window: "That's a nice lot of young pigs those." "Where?" the person present was sure to ask. "Comin down the road," was the in- variable reply. "They're in a cart: and, what's more, there's a fine fat sow among 'em." And it would not be long before a cart would appear and in it a litter of pigs and among them the sow which the woman had perceived at such a distance up the road. One day a vis- itor, who saw in this exhibition an evidence of second sight, exclaimed: "How do you do it? It is simply won. derfnl!" "'Tain't no miracld," was the modest reply. "I've just got my ear trained to pigs -that's all." Teacher -Sammy, can you tell ale where and how iron was first discov- ered ? Sammy -I can't tell you just where, sir, but i think I know bow it was dis- covered: Teacher -Welt Sammy, what is your information on that point? Sammy -I beard pa say the other day that they smelt it. The Bishop Knew Him. A story current about the bishop of London represents him as a bored lis- tener to a windy speech. Turning to a fellow sufferer, he said, "Do you know that speaker?" "No," was the answer. "I do," said the bishop. "He speaks under many aliases, but his name is Thomas Rot." -London News. t warat.milimarw The quality of barky used in making fI A lid 1Vd ' S BEER None but the best could make so good a brew ip Supplied by agents everywhere, or ilr THEO.

French Wine Growers Protect Their Crops With Cannon. John C. Covert, United States consul at Lyons, France, has made an in- teresting report to the state department regarding the use of cannon in France to prevent the destruction of grapes by hailstorms. It is given at length by the New York Herald. Mr. Covert describes his visit to the towns of Denise and Bois d'Oinget to see how the, grape owners vanquished their most dreaded enemy -the hail. Cousul Covert says: "Two long can- nons were displayed in each place, al- most identical in shape, but different in the manner of firing. Each gun is of the shape of an inverted. cone, the opening at the month beirg-281/2 inches wide. It is planted upon a tripod three feet high. The gun itself is six feet six inches high above the tripod. It is made of thin boiler iron. At its base is a forged breech, which holds a forg- ed iron block. "In the center of this block is an aperture six inches long, about the size of a Farce dynamite cartridge, in which b CROSS SECTION OF HAIL CANNON. is placed a metallic cartridge contain- ing 80 grains of blasting powder, wad- ded with a cork and tamped like n:: ordinary miner's blast. It is discharg- ed. by a needle on a lever attached to the base of the forged Iron holder. "The detonation is very loud. As soon as the lanyard is pulled flame is visible at the mouth of the gun, fol- lowed +rnmediately --by-. a wreath of smoke. A shrill whistling sound ire mediately follows the firing of the can- non and Is heard for 14 seconds. At t distance this whistling is much louder than uear the gun. I am told that It travels at. a speed of 330 meters per j second, 4.620 meters in 14 seconds, which is nearly two and a half miles. During the firing a few drops of rain fell. ' "I iflterviewed from 20 to 30 large wine growers who used the cannon last sumer:e:•. They were all emphatic in their lit in the efficacy of fighting hail with s iupowder. They said that i if the weather were hot and they saw I the clouds ,orliling they prepared for a charge. :f the cicl:..a were moving rapidly. th{:r direction was changed or' the moeels. lit was stopped by the � fir- ing. '1'h. s were torn asunder and broken lir, shreds, and a copious fall , of rain sot t, •followed. "In loses, Jes where great losses from hail have I. ; a incurred every summer, j the canuou were used last summer, and no hail fell. Two or three miles •distant, wi:,'re no cannon were fired, the hail was very destructive. One cannon pretecta nearly 75 acres of land." Travels Thousands of Miles. The many thousands of mileswhich a man uuconsc::nlsly travels in his life- time, takiug into consideration the paces his footsteps measure as he walks about each day, are enough to make kin: it down to rest -for the re- mainder of tis life, But uow a German scientist bas come forward with some still more startling facts concerning the journeys which our eyelid undertakes every time it winks, and it is not possible for us to see, be says, unless we wink. Unconsciously we wink once a second, so that for the time we are awake dur- ing the day we voluntarily wink from 48,600. to 50,000 times and in a year have moved our upper eyelids down and up again no less than 18,250,000 times. The distance that the eyelid travels in its great speed is measured from a single involuntary wink. This, the scientist says, is a quarter of an inch both ways, the eyelid mov- ing equally up and down, so that, tak- ing the movement of both eyelids into consideration, they cover some 50,000 inches- in a day. The eyelids of a man who has lived for 50 years will have unconsciously traveled a third of the way around the earth, or about 7,200 miles, a calculation sufficient in itself to cause the victim of insomnia to fall into a dreamless sleep as he reads it. - London Mail. A Helpful Suggestion. "Kin yeou tell me, young feller," in- quired Mr. Reuben Hay of Four Cor- ners, "where hereabouts I kin git me a good farmer suit?" "Why, there's a good pharmaceutist not two blocks away," replied the young fellow blithely.-Harper's Ba- zar.

The Buddhists believe that happl. ness, Nirvana, consists In self efface- ment, oblivion. The young Buddhas , began life by sitting unsupported in ' the air just after birth. Their mothers attained Nirvana immediately, and they, the Buddhas, reached Nirvana in various queer ways. One earnest Buddha, one of the earli- est of the long line, earned the " bllbbU- ta" as follows: A hawk was about to devour a small bird. Said the Buddha to the bird of prey: "I beseech thee, leave this little crea- ture in peace. I will give thee its weight from my own flesh." Down from heaven came a pair of scales, and the transaction was accom- plished. The small bird sat on one side of the scales, and the Buddha began putting slices of his body into the other side, while the bird of prey looked on with an evil eye. As the Buddha carv- ed himself pp the little bird seemed to get heavier and heavier. The beam of the scales did not move until the last particle of the saint's body was put in the scales. The Buddhists' legends do not tell how the saint managed to carve up his last few fragments, but that is not im- portant. Which do you think was hap- pier, the Buddha who entered into Nir- vana as the little bird flew away or the bird of prey that made a hearty meal of the saint's flesh and sailed off de- lighted witb his bargain? -New York Journal. Cobwebs and Cats. An old time remedy to stop blood flowing from a cut is to put cobwebs over it, but from recent discovery It ap- pears a dangerous thing to do. Some time ago a woman fell and cut her head, and when her friends hurried to her assistance they found the blood flowing from a deep gash. Cobwebs were applied, and the bleeding quickly stopped, but in a few days the woman was taken with lockjaw. A scientist declared there were lock- jaw germs in cobwebs, and that was the way the woman contracted the dis- ease. He has made quite a study of the subject and says that in a handful of cobwebs he found 61 different dis- ease germs. That being true, It is very easy to see how one could get not only lockjaw, but many other dreadful dis- eases, as the cobweb is placed right on an open wound and the germs can en- ter the blood. Cobwebs form In dark, dirty places, and it is not to be won- dered that they gather germs. - Ex- change. The Log of a Ship. A ship's- log- is an instrument for measuring the rate at which the vessel is going and consists of three parts - viz, the log chip, the log line and the log glass. The principle is simply this: A light substance thrown from the vessel ceases to partake of the motion of the vessel as soon as It strikes the water and will be left behind on the surface after a certain interval. If the distance of the ship from this station- ary object be measured, the approxi- mate rate of sailing will be given. The log chip is the float. the log line is the measure of the distance. and the log glass defines the interval of time. in the old days the heaving of the log required skill and watchfulness. but since the patent log has come into use no skill is required in finding the speed of a vessel. It is regulated by clock- work. and the number of knots the ves- sel sails per hour is recorded on the dial without any band touching it. The London Bus. "English travelers," says a London correspondent -of the Boston Tran- script. "have so jeered our advertising outrages upon architecture and scenery that i fancied we were of all nations most culpable. But after a season's residence in England I bold America excused Our advertising efforts are modest, even feeble, beside those of -our British cousins. "A London bus Is a mere advertis- ing van with accommodations for pas- sengers: It takes almost as long to read one through as to read a daily paper. The destination of the bus is marked in inconspicuous letters, the smallest on the canvas decorated ve- hicle. and the'chances of disentangling those letters from the maze of adver= tising announcements about them in time to hail the bus you want are small- er still." Divorces, Syrian Style. Divorce in unenlightened Syria is even more easy of accomplishment than in enlightened America. - - Three words spoken by the husband will put the woman away and out of the house. She drops whatever work she may be engaged in, seizes her yotiin- gest child --the rest belong to the father -and rushee off to - her tather'a hbuee, there to remain a disowned, degraded creature until another purchaser ap- plies for her. If the first husband should repent his hasty action and seek to remarry the divorcee, he engages a professional tool, usually a half witted fellow who makes a living in this ab- horrent manner, to marry the peni- tent's former wife and on the morrow of the wedding day to divorce her in his turn. A man may not renew the woman be bas divorced unless she has been since married and divorced by an- other man. -Marion Harland in Pres- byterian Banner. Misunderstood.

One day about the year 1818 George Cruiksbauk was passing Newgate on his way to the exchange, when, seeing a crowd collected, he went forward to learn what was the matter and saw that it was the execution of several men and women. He was horrified at the spectacle and on inquiring learned that the woman was being hanged for passing counterfeit £1 notes. He learn- ed also that this punishment was quite a common thing, even though the poor wretches often sinned in ignorance, be- ing the dupes of men who sent them to buy some trifle and return the change to them. Wrung with pity and with shame, Cruikshank went home and .im- mediately, under the inspiration of his feeling, sketched a grotesque carica- ture of a bank . note. He called it a bank restriction note -not to be imi- tated. He represented on it a place of execution, with spaces about, filled in with halters and manacles, a figure of Britanuia devouring her children and transport ships bearing the lucky or unlucky ones who had escaped death to Van Diemen's .Land or Australia, while in place of the well known signa- ture of Abraham Newland was that of "J. Ketch." He had just finished this, when his publisher Hone entered, and seeing it, begged to have It for publication. So Cruikshank etched it and gave it to Hone, who exhibited it for sale in his window with startling effect. Crowds quickly began to gather and purchased so eagerly that the issue was soon ex- hausted. Cruikshank was kept hard at work making more etchings, the crowds grew so great that the street was block- ed, and the mayor had to send soldiers to clear it. Hone realized over £700 in a few days. -Good Words. BRITISH BANK CLERKS. Sumptuary Laws Trying on Those With Slim Purses. Bank clerks generally look so sleek and comfortable and are almost in- variably so well groomed that their grievances rarely receive patient hear- ing. One who was {ecently dismissed for the terrrible crime of smoking a pipe in a city cafe during one of the bours sacred to what is called by city courte- sy lunch writes, giving a list of re- strictions which be declares are ab- surd. No clerk is allowed to smoke a pipe in the streets during banking hours or at lunch. The average clerk's salary is not so very high, but nevertheless he must wear a silk hat and cane to the office,. dressed as one with double the salary. Wearing a cap to business is not to be thought of, as it is an unpardonable offense in the_ eyes of the bank officials. The salary of the average bank clerk ranges from about 38 shillings a week, but in many banks the salary is much lower and the chances of promotion very small. A clerk's money is greatly diminished by his having to subscribe to numerous funds, such as a "sports" fund, to keep the cricket or football grounds in order, which he himself is never able to see. Saturday is no holiday for him, as he does not leave the office on those days until about 4 or 5 o'clock. It must not be supposed that the day's work of a bank clerk ends with the closing of the bank to customers. In fact, it only begins at that time. - London Express. The Man With a Paper. The man with a paper during the morning and evening hours in New York city is legion. There are about 400,000 of him. A man without a news- paper on an elevated train, in a street car, aboard a ferryboat or in a railway coach, morning or evening going to or from business is conspicuous. He is a rare bird indeed, and looks as though he were wrecked and float- ing alone on a sea of tossing papers. He is sure to feel lonesome and almost outside the pale of civilization, for his fellow men -with their faces to their regular diet of daily news, hardly no- tice him. If you have time to spare a moment from your morning paper, just ,look about you, 1n car or boat, observe and listen. You will see every mortal man -with often hundreds id view atone time -religiously bowing at - the altar of the news in silence that is only broken by a .continuous rustle as the scores of leaves are turned. There is no. more devout newspaper reading community than is found in the me- tropotls.---New York Herald. Even Bads Grow Old. According to Professor Adam Sedg- wick. says The Youth's Companion, there is reason to believe that buds share in the growing old of the parent plant. He illustrates his meaning in this way: Suppose the average life of an individual plant -say a tree -to be 100 years, then a bud removed when the parent plant is 50 years old will also be virtually 50 years of age, and if transplanted by grafting will be able to live on the graft only 50 years more.

A good American bad been making some soul stirring remarks about the glorious star spangled banner when an Englishman who is pretty well Ameri- canized told a little story apropos: "I remember once to have seen the stars and stripes applauded uproariously on a peculiar occasion. It happened many years ago when the British flag wasn't as popular in the United States as it is now and a party of us Englishmen were at a theater in New York consid- erably farther down town than thea- ters are now to be found on Broadway. The play was 'Richard I,' and if you re- member there is a scene in the play where Richard, after putting his foes to flight in terrific style, mounts the walls of Acre and plants the British colors there. Evidently the manage- ment knew the temper of the audience and felt that even under su,- i circum- stances the British flag would not be a good thing, so what did they do but give Richard the star spangled banner, and, by all the gods, he took it with him in the charge and planted if on Acre's walls. It was ridiculous, of course. and we Englishmen laughed, but the audience took it quite as the correct thing, and the way the people stormed and shouted and Clapped was enough to have made Richard turn over in his grave. Historically it was away off, dramatically it was open to criticism, but patriotically It was a howling success." -Washington Star. Trigonometry In X Ray Work. "Few people know," said Dr. J. O. Egelston while performing aa, opera- tion at the City hospital, "that it'takes trigonometry to tocate -a bullet in the body. But In every X ray operation in which the bullet or foheign sub- stance is deeply imbedded a mathemat- ical computation is necessary to show just how deep the bullet is. The X rays make the flesh transps rent, leav- ing only the bones and foreign sub- stance visible, so that yos see just *hese the bullet is, and yet you don't know where it is. You knew its lati- tude and longitude, so to speak. but those measurements are surface meas- urements, and you don't kliown how deep the object Is beneath the surface The point on the surface of the body beneath which the bullet is can be readily located, but how far beneath that point is the bullet? "This is the question that trigonome- try has to answer, and by kiowing the - answer a great deal of uSnecessary cutting may be saved, and 'shat might otherwise be a difficult and dangerous operation my be rendered compara- tively safe and easy. If the bullet en- ters one side of the body, for instance, and lodges within .4a, ineb or two of the skin on the - other s164. the other side of the body would be the one from which to operate." -Kansas City Jour- nal. The Chinese estimate. Though Chinese cuisin has been credited with some utte ly fabulous dishes, such as white ice -served alive, which add pique y by their squeak as they dive doom the gullet, curiosities in the edible line do form a considerable list. Bird's nest soup, foli instance; a clear soup made from! the refined gluten with which a c ain species of swallow fasten their ests beneath the rocks; stewed "sea sags, another nasty sounding dish. but transcending in -flavor the aldermanhf green turtle fat. There may be, too, ion first intro- duction, some prejudice against fried grasshoppers. But courage in this in- stance is rewarded by at deliciously crisp, brown mouthful, f a delicate nutty flavor. ;r. It is a fallacy to supiose that pork foims a constant artide of diet in China. As a matter of fact, it is too expensive and is only baten on high days and holidays or t restaurants. Neither do milk, beef r game enter much Into Chinese cookery, the first two being tabooed on religious grounds. Dog flesh is eaten in She south but rarely and only by the'poorest of the poor. -Blackwood. A Curious Reseipt. Hanover's registrar discovered a very curious document sometime ago as he g was looking through a bundle of pa- pers that date back to the eighteenth century. The document is a receipt - probably the only one oC its kind in ex- istence -which was giten to a Hano- verian captain by a cation of Duisburg during the Seven Years' war. "I, the undersigned," j it reads, "here- by acknowledge that I have received 50 blows of a stick, which were inflicted upon' me by a lieutenant of Captain B.'s regiment as a puplshment for the stupid and frivolous calumnies which I have uttered in regard to the regi- ment of chasseurs. For my impru- dent words I now admit that t am pro- foundly sorry. I received my punish- ment lying on a heap of straw and held by two men, and I bear testimony. to the fact that the officer struck me as vigorously as he could with a stick that was as thick as my finger. "In proper term and with due grati- tude I sign this receipt and avow that all therein is true." Not the Greatest. Smith -I suppose Dobber regards himself the greatest artist that ever handled brush. Jones -You do Dobber an injustice. He never presumed to regard himself in any such light. Why, I have heard him say very modestly that he was a second Raphael. Isn't that admitting that Raphael was a greater painter than himself? -Boston Transcript. It is one of the privileges of man live and learn, but some men seem t live a great deal more than they !earl:. Weir Mitchell and Whitman. In Dr. Weir Mitchell's book • pleas- ant story or two is told of Walt Whit- man, the writer, to whom some would deny the name of poet, while others re- gard hint as one of the greatest of all poets. tete ofthe characters in the story of "Dr. North and His Friends" says that Whitman was eaten up by his own vanity, regarding everything he did as of such supreme value that he had lost all power of self criticism and could not tell good from bad or in- different. Once he was asked if he thought Shakespeare as great a poet as himself. He replied thathe had often thought of that, but had never been able to come to a decision. He went to a physician upon an oc- casion, thinking himself seriously out of health. When he learned that his ailment, whatever it was, could be treated best by living as much as pos- sible out of doors without dosing with medicine, he was leaving in all good humor when he bethought himself of the physlcia.i's fee. "How much will it be?" he inquired. "The debt was paid long ago," said the doctor, who knew and liked- his writings. "It is you who are still the creditor." Whit- man thanked him and went out. An- other patient, a lady, had taken his place when he returned, put his two great hands on the table opposite his medical adviser -he had not stopped to knock or aunounce himself -and said, "That, sir, I call poetry." The lady was scandalized by his 'abrupt appearance and demeanor and asked as soon as the writer had gone for the second time, "Is the gentleman insane?" but, learning his identity, she wished be had asked for his autograph. • Weight by Inches. "Forty and a half," sung out the cut- ter of a Chestnut street tailoring firm as be passed the tape across a custom- er's chest. Thirty-eight was registered when the measure .girded the custom- er's waist, and then the cutter stepped back and sized up the patron's height as compared with that of the salesman who was recording the measurements. "Your weight is 165 pounds," he said. "One sixty-seven," spoke up the man who was being measured for a coat. "How did you guess it?" _ "No guesswork about it. I simply compared your height with that of the salesman here, who- is 5 feet 8 inches tall. You are about two inches taller, or, say, 5 feet 10 inches. With chest and waist measurements and a man's height figured out I can come within a pound or two of his weight every time, as my close estimate of your avoirdu- pois proves. Of course there are ex- ceptions. notably the man with the very slim waist and wide shoulders, who is invariably much lighter in build than h appearance and measurements indica e.

Big Cost of Getting a Battleship Into the Water. "The mere act of getting a war ves- sel into the water costs a lot of money, time and trouble," said an engineer, speaking of the recent, launching of several new torpedo boats. "I spent a year and a half in the designing room of the Cramps' yard," he continued, "and happen to know what I am talk- ing about. Of course the launching of a little torpedo boat is comparatively easy, and tite cost is not over a few hundred dollars; including flowers and souvenirs and even the bottle of cham- pagne used in die christening. But when it comes to a big armored cruiser or a first class battleship it is a horse of a different color, and the actual ex- pense seldom falls below $4,000 or $5,- 000. I've known it to go as high as $8,000. "The building of the ways for the ship to slide down over is the main item, and then comes the greasing. Every inch of timber over which the vessel slides must be covered with a lu- bricant. Different firms use different substances, but soap and tallow form the main ingredients of them all. At the Cramps' we used a layer of beef tallow and a layer of soft soap, and, taken altogether, between 1 and 1% tons of the stuff were required to put a move on the average battleship. The tallow is spread on first to the depth of about three fingers, and the work- men use big flat trowels to make the surface as smooth as possible. Then they pour over the soft soap, which 1s just thick enough to run, or about the consistency of tar. "As a general thing, the double coat- ing answers the purpose admirably, and the ship glides into the water as if it was-sai'Iing on air.-_ 1f it sticks. as. has happened in a few cases. it is likely to spring some of its plates, and acci- dents of that kind are so costly that nothing is spared to avert them." -New Orleans Times -Democrat. A Missionary Antidote. A great cloud of murky Mersey tog enveloped Liverpool harbor and the passengers on the tiny tender could scarcely see the shape of the great liner close beside them which was just weighing anchor for Bombay. On the quarter deck of the steamship were 50 missionaries of both sexes bound out- ward on a mission to convert the heath- en. They were singing a favorite gos- pel hymn and as the sound of their Voices floated across the water one of the passengers on the tender, a manu- facturer from Birmingham, suddenly burst into tears. "Isn't that a noble, an inspiring, al- most a 'arrowing sight?' he exclaimed, dropping a tear and an h at the same time. "I wouldn't 'ave missed seeing them noble creatures going out to meet their fate in the field of foreign mis- sions -not for £5 note, I wouldn't" "Have you any relatives among them ?" asked another passenger sym- pathetically. "Oh, no; no relatives," wailed the man from Birmingham. "But we are all brethren in religion, and the sight of their departure touched me deeply. I shall pray night and morning that their ship may have a safe passage." "But if you're not related to any of them I don't 'quite see why you're so anxious," said a flippant young man. "Missionaries sail for India almost any day." "Yes," replied the man from Bir- mingham, assuming a more business- like tone, "but it isn't every day in the week that I've got such an interest in a ship's cargo. I'd be pleased to have you know. young man, that in the bold of that ship is a consignment of 5,000 idols which I have just shipped to one of the native princes." -Exchange. Where We Meet Russia.

The machine he used could turn out ail the work he could get by running eight hours a day. - The mean man had an engineer who was a genius. The genius went to bis employer one day and said he thought he could make some improvements In that machine so it would do more work in less time. The genius was paid by the month. - He worked on the machine for sever- al days, taking it apart and putting it together again. When reconstructed, it proved to have greater efficiency than before, so much so that it did the same amount of work In one minute and a half that it used to take four and a half to do. - The mean man, however, could get no more contracts than before. He could fill all bis orders by running about three hours a day. The mean man then went to the genius and said: "See here, Henry,' I've been paying you by the month, but there isn't as much work as there used to be -not enough to keep you busy. I shall have to pay you by the hour after this." Henry demurred. He had been too faithful. but be didn't think that ought to reduce his earnings over one-half. His employer was firm, however, and Henry resigned. -New York Mail and Express. An Experiment In Journalism. Once there was a really radical pa- per, in London it was, but the man who made it now lives here and tells the tale. It was one of those papers which are a tragedy. They represent the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong men who must find the outlet fdr the!. apostolate. This paper began by being at odds with all that was established, and It had readers. But as time went on the man who made the paper drove - off singly and in groups all those wba had begun by being his supporters. It was found a little too radical for them, and they no longer kept step with its newest march. - "Of course I now can see that such a paper was foredoomed to failure," the editor said after he had recited the ear- ly history of his venture. "I confess it was pretty strong even for Britisb radicals. After the circulation had dwindled down to the extremists I suc- ceeded in alienating about half of them by denouncing social democracy as feu- dal oppression, and the other half left me when I attacked atheism on the score of its superstitious tendencies. After that 1 ran the paper as long as I could without any.. subscribers. But 1 had to give it up.

Another attempt at a state normal school grab has been started in the legislature, this time by a member who wants to see such a school established between the twin cities. Now will some one please inform the public just where is the crying need for such an institution? With five such schools pretty well distributed about the state, and with the state university's department of pedagogy available, the thing simmers down to a desire on the part of this twin city member to make himself popular in his home city. The state at large is not yearning for an opportunity to dig up more cash for state normal schools.—Hutchinson Tines. If the state agricultural society really needs $100,000 for new build. ings, let the business men of the twin cities put up the amount, as the fairs are held for their special benefit, and they are the ones, and the only ones, who make money out of tbe fair. There are enough buildings there already to satisfy the farmers, who would be the ones to shoulder the heft of the burden should the legislature meet the demands of the society.—Granite Falls Journal.

To the Patrons of the Vermillion Creamer, I feel it my duty to write to you through The Gazette, and give a few words of advice in regard to the car- ing for the milk. I know that the great majority of the farmers woald deliver a Netter quality did they oltly knew the proper way to care for it in order to produce a good article. I have found that the milk which is de- livered to this creamery is not all first grade; that there is room for im- provement; and that it is impossible for any butter maker to manufacture a first class article from poor and un- fit milk. If the milk has received a bad flavor at home it can't be purified again, and the quality of butter de- pends on the quality of milk. The milk in the first place must be taken care of from the time it is drawn from the cow till it is delivered to the creamery, and during the time it is in the hands of the farmer and under his control, if he don't know just the proper way to keep it good and sweet he will spoil the milk, and also spoil the reputation of the creamery and butter maker. When the milk is good and sweet, and has had good care, then it is left in ttie hands of the butter maker to do the rest, and I am sure that such a quality of milk will produce a good grade of butter. Now, kind patron, please notice some very good facts and points of how to care for the Milk, which I will give below, and if you all will act accord- ingly you will find a pleased and smiling face on the butter maker when you deliver your milk at the creamery, and he will not need to be sending milk home, and time and time again tell you how to take care of it, but he will always be pleased to see you. The first is, keep your barn clean, and have it clean in the mornings before corn menciugto milk. Take a brush or cloth and (,rush the udder on the cow clean from falling dust, then commence to milk in a► very clean pail, not previously used for the calves. Strain the milk in a very clean can, which has been wash- ed clean with a brush and' rinsed in scalding water, strain through a layer of cloth and wire strainer in order to produce a clean milk. If possible cio not keep the can in the barn where the cows are kept during Inilking,' always remove the milk from the barn as soon as milked, and set in water for cooling, stir it every fifteen or twenty minutes until cold, then, when cold, put the cover oti the can tight and you coin put the can in the house, in the cellar, or in a fresh room where there is no fire, so as to prevent it from freezing, but be sure your milk is cold, and the corer real tight on the can before so tieing, in order to maintain (Hire air in the can, as the milk will receive the oder of the room where it is kept if left open. In milking do not milk with wet tits, as it is very unhealthy, and do not milk with dry • tits either; a better way is to use Vaseline, as when milking with dry tits some dust like matter always falls into the pail, and is the very starter for a had flavor; vaseline will overcome this, and in milking with wet tits some of the mil's is liable to drop into the pail, and when cold weather is at hand and the cows are let out in the air the tits will crack or chap and are more tender to the cold. Frozen tits are very unpleasant to milk, and if the farmers will use this method they will soon see the benefit of it, and if the people will stop to think to what purpose the milk is used for, and that it is a food for our body, I am sure that nothing unhealthy will ever enter the mills pail. In all cases do not let the milk freeze, as it in- jures the flavor and test, and always deliver your milk to the creamery eery time it is 1n operation. Stir the milk in the can two or three times a day to prevent the cream from becoming thick and dry. Respect- fully, N. N. LARSON, Butter Maker, Vermillion Creamery. Farmers of Greenvale hauled the lumber this week for the icehouse of. the new creamery which wilt be built early next spring.

RULED WITH A ROD. But the Rod Must Be Iron, With a Redhot Tip. "When ail other methods of control- ling wild beasts fail the keeper has only to employ an iron rod, which has been made redhot at one end," said an old circus man to a Star reporter recently. 'tLlons and tigers," he continued, "will cringe before the heated poker, and no matter how restless and fretful they may have been the sight of the glow- ing iron immediately brings them to their best of animal senses. It has an almost hypnotic influence over the beasts. 1 have seldom beard of an animal being burned in this manner, however, so there is nothing cruel in the treatment. It would not do for the keeper to burn the charges under his care, for the scars would mar the animal for exhibition purposes. The hot iron is a terror, just the same, and under its persuasion the kings of the jungle are docile and ready to do what is wanted of them. "In circus menageries the animals often become almost unmanageable. This is true of the younger specimens, who do not like the idea of being so closely housed, so much hauled about and so often cut off from the light of the outside world. When it becomes necessary to give their cages a thor- ough and sanitary cleaning, one attend- ant holds the beast in a corner by means of the redhot iron, while an- other thoroughly cleanses the remain- ing portion of the cage, the work being accomplished by brooms and mops from the outside. In changing the wilder animals from the cages em- ployed on the road to the larger and more commodious quarters at the win- ter station, what we call a strong box is used. The wagon is hauled along. side the large cage and the steel strong box, open at both ends, is constituted a passageway. The animal hesitates to make the journey through such a sus- picious looking object, however, and again the heated iron must be brought into play."—Washington Star. I Fate of Old Overcoats. i "Where do the old overcoats go?" is a query that is a natural successor to the old riddle, "Where do the flies go in winter?" The old overcoats seeni somehow to fade away, no one knows just bow. The overcoat starts its ca- reer on the beak of its owner, who paid $45 for it. It keeps him warm and shelters him from cold winds and from storms until It commences to get fray- ed at the edges and the pockets are torn down the sides. Then the owner uses the coat for rainy days only, and no more does he take it to call on his fiancee or to recline on the back of a chair while he is reading at the club. He keeps it another summer, and the moths get into it, and when he takes it out in the fall It has holes here and there. So the owner gives it to the janitor, If the janitor Is not a cold, haughty man. and the janitor wears it awhile until his wife gives it to the tramp who whealed out the three bar• rels of ashes. Thcttramp wears it until the old coat commences to fall apart. Then he gives it to another tramp, and It falls apart still more. And then some day the coat has entirely disap- peared. No one knows how or when. The coat just simply faded away. That's all anybody knows about it. Chicago Tribune. A Surgical Operation. The Army and Navy Journal tells this story about the late Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of New York city: "When a young medical student al the College of Physicians and Surgeons to New York, one of the operating phy- sicians was about to cut off an Irish- man's leg, but before beginning the op- eration gave a long talk to the students on amputatioi. The Irishman lay on the operating table to full possession of his faculties, and as be listened to the discourse to grew whiter and whit- er. Finally he jumped from the oper- ating table, crying: `Get me me breech. es, be gob! Ill die with me leg on!' And with that he was out of the room. "Dr. Sayre found him several days later with his knee badly swollen. Thk. young doctor promptly cut open the knee, but saved the leg. One day he had no lint to bind the wound, so he used the tow stuffing sticking out of an old horsehair sofa. When he called again, he found the wound so much im- proved that he reasoned that tow dip- ped in Peruvfaa balsam would not only disinfect a wound, but would keep it free from pus. "This was tie foundation of one of the most satisfactory successes he ever bad in surgery. It was the means of introducing int the army the use of tarred hemp, or oakum, as a dressing for wounds." He Was Up to the Limit. A young society woman tells a story of a very little newsboy who so appre- ciated her kindness to him at a news- boys' dinner that be went to the extent of great suffering for her sake. At least she thinks it was appreciation, but others have doubts. At all events, the young woman who, with a number of others, was engaged in serving the boys, noticed this little boy way off at one end of the table. Many of his lar- ger fellows were already hard at work on the various good things, but this lit- tle fellow had evidently been neglected. Clearly here was a case of urgent char- ity, so the amateur waitress flew to his side, and for an hour she saw to it that he did not lack for anything. Plate after plate of turkey was literally showered upon him. Finally, as she set another piece of plum pudding in front of him, he rolled iris eyes meekly toward her and said in mualled tones: "Well, miss, I kin chew, but I can't swaller no more!"—New York Sun. Crape on the Door. The custom of placing crape on the door of a house where there bas been a recent death had its origin in the an- cient English heraldic customs and dates back to the year 1100 A. D. At that period hatchments, or armorial ensigns, were placed in front of houses when the nobility or gentry died. The hatchments were of diamond shape and contained the family arms quer- tered and covered with sable. rTThe Porion and the 8kiyper.� An old globe circler says that In going around the world there is scarce- ly one traveler in a hundred who re- members that in going from east to west a day is gained and tbat in going from west to east a day is lost. Many of talose who come into contact with this truth knew all about it when they were at school, but never think of it on the high seas. In illustration of the point he tells this story: "My first trip around the world was from England to Australia. Out in the middle of the Pacific a sign was put announcing that the date was Thursday, July 17. This was all right, but the next day the same sign was put up again. This was an oppor- tunity for those of us who thought we were real wise to show the ship's officers that they were not infallible. After we had expended our choicest sarcasm and had been rebuffed by va- rious officers the captain set us straight. "On my way back one day the card went up announcing that it was Satur- day, Aug. 13. The next day ,the sign said Monday, Aug. 15. Two ministers on board thought the captain a some- what profane old salt, who had skip- ped a day to avoid the religious serv- Ices which they had prepared. He Ponvinced them that it was a mere coincidence that on that particular date the lost day was Sunday. Since then I have never attempted to teach the ship's navigator his business, and he can skip a century 1f he wishes without my saying a word."—Balti- more Sun. Surprised by Dickens. "I vividly recall hearing Charles Dickens'read selections from his own writings in Steinway hall, New York city, shortly after the close of our civil war," said a well known judge. "The hall was densely packed with an audi- ence of cultured people, by far the ma- jor part of whom were intense admir- ers of the man who was to entertain them that evening. 1 was a youngster then, but was glad to part with $2 to hear the author of `Nicholas Nickleby' read his own lines. But his appear- ance on the stage, though greeted by applause, was a distinct shock, so thor- oughly out of keeping was his costume with the conventional evening attire of a gentleman. He was clad in a short velvet coat that looked exactly like a smoking jacket, velvet vest to match and a flaming red necktie. Such a garb was in reality an affront and an impertinence to that fashionably clad assemblage. But it was overlooked as an eccentricity of genius, and much applause attended the rendition. "Nowadays the newspapers would roast any man, however famous, for daring to come before the public in such grotesque attire, but I do not re- call that any of the New York papers criticised the distinguished visitor for his sartorial laxity." — Washington Post. How the Discussion Ended. It was whispered in Washington that as the Montague Browns were not as rich as other members of the smart set they had to practice economy where It did not show. But tonight there was certainly no hint of econo: my anywhere. There were strawber- ries, hothouse grown, and terrapin and canvasback duck, though both were exorbitant in the market. The hand- some tablecloth had been ruthlessly cut, and through the opening a cluster of American Beauty roses, their stems on the floor, shot up two feet above the table. It was the most effective table decoration of the winter. Mrs. Montague Brown, young, pret- ty and ambitious, smiled a smile of rare pleasure. She reflected compla- cently that she bad captured a cabinet officer for this dinner. The conversa- tion was bowling along smoothly, and she leaned forward to listen. The guest of honor was speaking: "And still I insist that no woman can do society all the time without neglecting ber household and children." "Not at all," smiled Mrs. Montague. "I think I can persuade you to the contrary if you"— She paused, observ- ing that he was staring with wide open eyes at the doorway. A tiny, half clad figure stood there. "Mamma, Mary's in the kitchen, and I tan't find my nighty," piped Mon- tague Brown, Jr.—Harper's Magazine. Too Extravagant by Halt. The manner in which one defaulting cashier was detected was rather pecul- iar. It was all due to the curiosity of the women of his neighborhood. He went to no expense in the way of dress- ing, they never heard of his gambling or drinking to any extent, he was a model husband, but he loved a good table.. There was nothing unusual in this, but one day when the ladies of the vicinity were discussing the best method of cooking meats the wife of the cashier declared very innocently that her husband doted on ham, but he would not eat it unless it had been boiled in cbampagne. "Boiled in cham- pagne!" exclaimed the listeners. "Heav- ens, how expensive! We couldn't af- ford to have ham on our table often if we cooked it that way." It was soon noised all around the neighborhood that Cashier Blank was a high liver indeed, and the men began telling of his uplifted ideas of cookery. This soon reached the ears of the di- rectors of the bank, and they conclud- ed it might be wise to investigate the accounts of such an epicure. Plain water was all they could afford for their hams, so the champagne lover was called up and subsequently rele gated to the pen, where he had to fore- go his pet dish for many, many weary days.—Loulsville Times. A Quaint Introduction. On one occasion the dean of Wells in introducing E. A. Freeman, whom he could abide neither as man nor historian, said: "I rise with great pleasure to propose the health of our eminent neighbor, Mr. Freeman, the historian, a man who, in his own per- sonal characteristics, has so often de- picted for us the savage character of OW first forefathers."

A hither curious method of burglar catching was resorted to by an in- genious maidservant recently in New Tork. As The Electrical Review tells the story, while in pursuit of her household duties the maid noticed a man's foot inside the clothes closet. She did not scream, neither did she jump at the door nor shut it with a bang. Instead she took a broom and began to sweep that corner of the room near the closet. Her approach .was gradual, and the sweeping was done so naturally that it would not have areused the most suspicious bur- glar. At last the broom brushed the door gently, but hard enough to close it to the fraction of an inch. With hive or six more gentle sweeps that closet door was shut and almost latched, which she at length succeeded in doing by gently pressing her arm against it. As the telephone in her house was so near the closet that the burglar would be able to hear her if she called for assistance, she bethought herself of another plan. In the back yard some telephone linemen were at the time making repairs on a wire that runs to another house in the block. She went out and spoke to them. They promptly tapped a wire, attached a testing instrument and called up one of the down town exchanges, whichtiin turn got the house owner, who in his turn called up police headquarters. From there the call was sent to the police station nearest the house, and two policemen were sent around and got the man. Novel title For His Fodder. "I have heard of some strange and curious expedients that have been used to clear the tracks in cases of railroad wrecks," said a well known railroad official recently, "but the methods used on a small railroad not far from Bal- timore a few years ago to clear the tracks and incidentally save a fine en- gine from serious damage were the most original I ever heard of. "Inc wreck had been caused by ice forming on the rail from an overflow- ing tank near the trestle. The train had two engines. The first engine and the cars had run out on the trestle and dropped over. The rear engine was left standing half sidewise on the trestle, which was 30 feet high. It seemed as if the touch of a man's hand would cause it to topple over, and it blocked the road, which was only single tracked, and the wrecking car with its derrick could not be used. 'If we only had something soft to drop it on and then hoist it back,' said one official, `we could manage all right.' "This remark gave a farmer of the neighborhood an idea. He offered to sell his big stock of corn fodder. The plan was to pile the fodder from tbe ground underneath the trestle to with- in a few feet of the track and then topple the engine over. The plan work- ed {►►ell, and owing to the elasticity of the fodder the engine was not damaged in the least."—Baltimore Sun. Some Childish Humor. Here are some specimens of childish humor from the Chicago News: "Oh, mamma," exclaimed 4 -year-old Flossie as she observed the moon in its second quarter, "come and look at the moon. Half of it is pushed into the sky, and the other half is sticking out." Tommy, aged 5, had been busy whit- tling and managed to raise a blister on his hand which caused a slight break in the skin. Running to his mother, he showed it to her and said, "Mamma, I guess I'm beginning to wear out" "Did they sing any pretty songs at Sunday school?" asked a mother of her little 4 -year-old daughter upon her re- turn home. "Only one," replied the lit- tle miss. "It was something about Greenland's ice cream mountains." Papa—Well, Willie, have you been a good boy today? Small Willie—Did you ask mamma? "Why should I ask her? Don't you know whether you have been good or not?" "Yes, but mamma's idea of goodness differs from mine, and I don't want to go back on anything she says." Our Race For Money. "If it is not true that we Americans regard money making as the work for which life was given to us, why, when we have millions, do we go on strug- gling to make more millions and more?" writes "An American Mother" in The Ladies' Home Journal. "It is not so with the older races. The London tradesman at middle age shuts his shop, buys an acre in the suburbs and lives on a small income or spends the rest of his life in losing it in poultry or fancy gardening. The German or Frenchman seldom works when past 60. He gives his last years to some study or hobby—music, a microscope, or it may be dominos. You meet him and his wife, jolly, shrewd, intelligent, jogging all over Europe, Baedeker in hand. They tell you they 'have a cu- riosity to see this fine world before they go out of it.' " A Blessing. Dr. Conan Doyle tells this story of a Boer and an English soldier who lay wounded side by side on the field of battle: "They bad a personal encoun- ter, in which the soldier received a bul- let wound and the burgher a bayonet thrust before they both fell exhausted on the field. The Britisher gave the Boer a drink out of his flask, and the burgher, not to be outdone in courtesy, handed a piece of biltong in exchange. In the evening, when their respective ambulances came to carry them off to the hospital, they exchanged friendly greetings. 'Goodby, mate,' said the soldier. 'What a blessing it le we met each other!' " Quids and the Duchesses. Lord Rathmore told a friend how he pnce took Ouida in to dinner and how disappointed he was to find that the novelist devoted herself to the dishes rather than to intellectual refreshment. He said at last in despair at having only been able to get "Yes" and "No" in answer to the different subjects be introduced: "I'm afraid I'm singularly unfortunate in my choice of topics. Is there anything we could talk about to interest you?" To which the chronicler of society's shortcomings replied: "There is one thing which would Interest me very much. Tell me about the duchesses. I have written about them all my llfe and never met one yet." Timid Wooten, Callous Brute. There is an F street real estate man Whose pretty home is in one of the pleasantest streets in the older part of town. He is just an ordinary man, with no particular sympathy for the fears of nervous women; he has been married 15 years, and his wife is one of those women who fairly revel in all sorts of painful imaginings and fright- ful forebodings. She always makes her will when she starts on a journey, and she never fails to forgive all her enemies before she trusts herself be- hind any kind of a horse. There has not been a night in all the 15 years of her married life that she hasn't either smelled smoke or heard burglars. Last week, in the middle of one night, the husband felt the familiar pinch which for 15 years has calloused his arm. He heard the familiar voice say the same old words: "Oh, Charles! Do get up! I smell smoke!" As usual, for after 15 years of that sort of thing even an ordinary man learns not to argue with a woman, he climbed obediently out of bed and went to the window. The street below was full of people, and a fire engine was puffing away at the corner. "Oh, Charles!" called the wife. "Is the house on fire?" Fifteen years have made Charles' feelings as callous as his arm. "Yes," said he brutally; "thank good- ness the house is on fire at last. Now perhaps you'll stop worrying."—Wash- ington Post. Daniel O'Connell's Fees. In the National Library of Ireland is the fee book of Daniel O'Connell. This volume, in its 100 pages or so of paral- lel columns, laboriously prepared by the hand of the liberator himself. shows in pounds, shillings and pence his early struggles. O'Connell was called to the Irish bar in 1798—the year of the rebellion—and seven days later he got his first brief, from a brother-in- law, who retained him to draft a dec- laration on a promissory note. he only other business he got that ear was also given him by a kinsman—a cousin—and it was of the same kind. The fee on each occasion was £i 2s. 9d. It was in one of his earliest cases that O'Connell made the retort that attract- ed attention to him. He was cross ex- amining an awkward witness, who de- clared that he had drunk nothing but his share of a pint of whisky. "On your oath, now," thundered the young counsel, "was not your share all but the pewter?" O'Connell's fee book is an interesting record of his rapid rise in the profes- sion. For the first year, as we have seen, his income amounted to only £2 5s. 6d. Next year he earned over £50, and the year after he made over £400. According to memoranda made in his own handwriting his income in 1303 was £465, and in the following years, £775, £840, £1,077, £1,713, £2,198, £2,736, £2,951, £3,047 and £3,808 re- spectively.

James Hines has a fairly good herd of dairy cows, but in proportion to their number they give more milk than any pedigreed stock on earth. I have always wondered why it was that Jimmie brought down such a prosperity -making load of milk every , day from so few cows, and it was not until this week that I found out and I it was by accident. I happened : around at pailing time, and as it was cold the barn doors were closed. Before knocking I listened on the outside, and to tell the truth I never heard such singing in all my life. At the end of the first verse I was admitted, and as I entered all hands were emptying hill pails of milk but Jimmie, and he was sitting in thej centre of the barn. As soon as the I pails were ready for action again ray friend began to sing, and although I could not understand a word I could see that the eows were all in line and understood every note. Some of the fine beasts gave two and others three pails of milk, and Jimmie explained to me that the reason for this was that the cows were reminded by his singing of good old Tipperary in Ireland and the shamrock pastures, and they gave milk as long as he sang. Jimmie says these songs are always sung at milking time in Ireland, and were composed by T. J. Dougherty's forefathers. —Northfield New*. The Farmers' Institute.

John Gitkinz bad spent two terms in the United States senate anctwas anx- ious to go back for another Lx years. Unfortunately his prospects did not ap- pear to be the brightest. The legisla- ture of the far western state which would meet to choose his successor within two Months was evenly divided. Exactly half its members on joint bal- lot belonged to the political organiza- tion of which Senator Gitkinz was one of the heads. For purposes of identifi- cation it.raay be called the Blue party. The Iced party, which was bitterly op- posed to Senator Gitkinz, had an equal number of votes in the legislature, Lacking cnly one. The odd man was State Senator Marr, elected as an inde- pendent from one of the Interior coun- ties ties of the state. If• Marr voted for Senator Gitkinz, his election was iis- 'mired. If, as was expected, he voted for the caucus nominee of the Red par- ty, it would he necessary to detach, some opposition member from his par- ty allegiance. That was the problem which Senator Gitkinz was facing. Three men sat in a little room open- ing into the library of Senator Git- • kinz's house in the town of Carton. They, were smoking and loosing into the tire. Gitkinz himself wary a largo man of 55, dressed so well that his clothes were not at all noticeable. His heavy figure was topped by.a large and well shaped head. His iron gray flair was worn long and his face smooth shaven. With his deep set black eyes and eagle beak he looked not unlike the pictures of Daniel Webster. Early in his political career the resemblance had been marked, and he had ever since cultivated it. Even great men; it may be remarked, have their little van- ities. . The man standing next.the table was Gregory Uppman, for more than 13 years the private secretary of Senator Gitkinz. lie was rather small, with a smooth manner, - au educated hand grasp and a thorough acquaintance with practical politics. - The third man in the room was Charles Swerin, tall, thin and gaunt, with faded blue eyes looking out through big bowed gold glasses. He looked the part of a student, a chess player, perhaps, or a philosopher, used to concentrating his mind for. a long time on an abstruse problem. Swerin's name never got into the papers. Ile had no apparent business. Yet he liv- ed well and was always well supplied with money. To the few he was known as "the brains of Senator Gitkinz." The three were completing their plan of action for the campaign so close at hand. "I've gone over all of them," said Swerin, "and I think we had better concentrate on old Senator Marr. It will seem more natural if he flops than if one of the regular Reds comes over to us. Let's see what you've got on Marr, Gregg." The private secretary got up, unlock- ed and opened the doors of a tall cabi- net. It was filled with little pigeon- holes, each of them numbered. In a drawer below was a list of'the mem- bers of the state legislature, the num- ber opposite eaelt name being the same as that on one of the pigeonholes above. He ran his finger down the list to the name of Barr, noted the- number op- posite it and then pulled from the Cabi- net the little tin box which bore the same number. The box was half filled with papers and clippings. ,r "Marr was born in New York state," began Uppman. "His father was a farmer. The old man died while Marr was in the district school, and he has had to support the family ever since. He was admitted to the bar when he was 40 years old. He is attorney for --the street car company which owns the line in Hartil. his home town. This is the first time De tasever held office. He is rated at from t;i,3.000 to $10,000. Per- sonally he is said to be a prohibition- ist though when he was in Chicago last winter he took a little fun with the boys. He bas an exemplary reputation in Hartil. Dorson does not think him a man' of strong character." "i think I know how to manage old man Marr," said Swerin, after a mo- ment's pause. "Does he know you, Greg?" "No; I newer saw hhn in my life." "Well, I want you to find out all about that street railway line which he represents as attorney. Get its cap- ital, its condition, and the names of its chief owners, and try to find out whether it can be bought at a reason- able price." Within a week State Senator Marr received a letter from a Chicago law- yer asking if the Hartil street car line, for which he was attorney, was on the market. If it could be bought at a reasonable figure, the lawyer wrote, he might be able to find a purchaser for it. It happened that the Hartil Street Car company bad never been a profit- able investment. Its owners were lo- cal capitalists, who had been chiefly :Moved to build the line by town pride, The best it had ever done was to pay txpenses. Its owners, as Marr knew, would be delighted to get the property off their hands, provided only that it might be maintained and kept running. He held a conference with the men who owned most of its stock before he answered the letter from Chicago. Tben he wrote that while the sell out it com- pany pang was not anxious to e might consider an offer of $75,000. The Chicago man came back with a propo- sition to pay $50,000. There followed siiiimr_..riM further negotiations by correspondence. Finally Marr was asked to make a trip to Chicago to talk the matter over. Before he left an upset price of $55,000 was fixed for the property. "We'll let it go at $55,000," the presi- dent of the company said to Marr as the latter stepped on the train. Gregory Uppman met him at the Union station and introduced himself as one of the men interested in the pur- chase of the road. The two went .di- rectly to the lawyer's office. Thee the deal was discussed at length. As a final proposition the new syndicate made an offer of V5,000, to which .Marr refused to listen. Finally Uppman came to the point. "I'll tell you what, Marr," he said. "You use y.our influence with the com- pany to get them to accept $55,000, and personal we'll be glad to pay you a Pe commission of $3,000 when the deeds are signed." At first Marr was horrified at the thought. It seemed to him that to take such a commission would be selling his professional honor. He shook his head. L'ppman went on explaining smoothly that a commission on large sales of this kind was quite the usual thing. It was not intended in any way as a bribe. The property was not worth more than $55,000. Its owners were getting a good price for their line. There was nothing out of the way about it: The more Marr thought of the mat- ter the more it seemed to him that per- haps he would be justified in taking the $3,000. IIe had secured the price fixed by the owners of the line. Sure- ly there was no harm in his making a little out of it on his own account. Be- sides, be needed the money badly. If after thinking it over he concluded that it would be best not to keep the money, he could turn it over when the. price agreed on n'as paid. i p jluan took him out to dinner that evening. They dined at a club, and Mars 'drank more wine than he was used to. By 10 o'clock he had decided to take the money and settle it with his conscience later. Next day the deal was completed. Marr got his $3,000 in cash, and the papers were signed for the transfer of the Hartil street car line. On the next train Uppman followed Marr home to tbe far west. Marr went straight through to Hartil, where the street car people congratulated him on the successful completion of his work. Uppman stopped off at Carton and re- ported to Swerin and Senator Gitkinz. Ten days later he and Swerin went up to the state capital to open the sena- tor's campaign headquarters. One of the first men Uppman met in the lobby of the hotel was Senator Marr, just come down to attend the session. The legislator recognized him with evident signs of embarrassment. But the poli- tician wasted little time. "How do you do, Senator Marr?" he began. "I'm glad to see you again. Come down to look the ground over a little In advance?" "Yes, Mr. Uppman, but what brings you here just now?" "Oh, I'm Senator Gitkinz's private secretary, you know' I've come down to open his headquarters for the cam- paign. By the way, senator, we'd like to have you call on us as soon as you can conveniently, Parlor G, second floor." Senator Marr blushed, hesitated and looked around as if he had been de- tected in some dishonorable act. "You're Senator Gitkinz's private sec- retary?'.' he stammered. "I thought you were a street railway man." "Oh, I have a little interest in one or two lines, but what I'm chiefly inter- ested in is to get Senator Gitkinz sent back to the senate. I trust you'll call on us today. You and I know each other pretty well already, you know. As friends we ought to stick together, don't you think? I hate these bitter political quarrels, and I'm sure we shall get along together without any trouble. You'll come and see me, won't you?" For a moment the two men fought a duel with their eyes. Then Marr's glance dropped. He felt that he was defeated. "Yes," he answered hesitatingly, "I'll come," When Uppman reported the result of his interview to Swerin, who was sit- ting quietly up stairs in an inner room, the latter gentleman smiled grimly. "Checkmate!" he said. "I thought we had the old man where be couldn't get away." -Chicago Tribune. GOLD IN ABUNDANCE. AN INVENTION THAT PROMISES TO DOUBLE THE OUTPUT. Ditleult Problem of Separating Mag - petite From Gold Solved -Simple. of Small Size and Inexpensive -May Be Operated by Hand or Motor. A machine that bids fair to double the gold output of the world, revolu- tionizing methods of separating gold from crushed quartz, and particularly from river, beach and placer sands, I has recently been constructed in Wash- j ing too and such confidence is enter- Ihun- dreds twined in its practical tical vaue that hun- dreds of thousands of dollars have already been invested in it, says the 1 New York Herald. For instance, in. one single mine, where the output has hitherto not quite paid expenses, the profits will be several million dollars annually. Mine owners out in that part of the country are wild about it, and a belief is en- tertained that it will convert at least 500 nonpaying western properties of the kind into richly profitable deposits. The invention has been newly pat- ented by Professor Ebner Gates, and its whole secret lies in removing from the gold bearing sand the magnetic iron, known as "magnetite," which such stuff always, contains, as a pre- liminary to- separating the gold. 'Un- Anecdotes of Henry Russell. The Jewish Chronicle of London says that the late Henry Russell, the song writer, was of Hebrew birth and bad many close friends among his corelI- gionists, including Sir Moses Monte- fiore, the Rev. A. L. Green and the Levy family. When Mr. Russell was accustomed to say to Sir Moses that he was getting on in years, Sir Moses, who was greatly his senior, would re- ply, "My dear old boy, you are only a baby." At the house of Mr. Green, where he was a frequent visitor, he would tell some of his amusing experiences, one of them having reference to the time when he was in a wild part of America and often carried his life in his bands. One day, when he was supposed to be asleep. a man bent over him. Mr. Rus- sell feared his last hour bad come. When at length he summoned up cour- age to open his eyes he was pleasantly reassured by his supposed antagonist asking him, "Henry, can you tell me when Yom Kippur (day of atonement) isle HYDROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR. der ordivary circumstances the sand, poured, with water, through a long trough called a "sluice box," is sep- arated by gravity from the gold, the latter slukiug to the bottom of the trough by reason of its greater weight and then being caught In crosswise slots, from which it is afterward re- moved. The chief difficulty in the process is due to the magnetite, which, being nearly as heavy as the gold, collects in the slots, or riffles, and chokes them up. If the magnetite were absent, a much larger percentage of the gold contained in the sand could be got out of it: hence for many years the problem of getting rid of this objectionable sub- stance has exercised the minds of in- ventors. Various machines have beeu devised for the purpose. but none of them has taken out all the magnetite, and not one of them has been able to handle wet sand. It costs too much money to dry sand, andthis has been, the financial difficulty.' The obstacle is overcome, however, by the new ma- chine, which not only removes every particle of the magnetite from the sand, but works wet sand under water. It handles moist or soaking wet sand as easily as dry. Perhaps the most striking points about the machine at first glance are its extreme simplicity and its small size relatively to the work it accom- plishes. It may be stood conveniently on a small table and easily operated by band with a crank. Ordinarily, how- ever,talc motor furnishes the ole an c trifling power required. The apparatus consists of a copper drum about as big as a good sized toy drum, inside of which is a powerful electromagnet. The core of the magnet consists of a bunch of iron plates with fluted edges on the pole face of one end, likewise within the drum, but which approach their fluted edges close to the inside of the copper periphery of the latter. What Is seen from the outside is sim- ply the drum which conceals the mag- net and corrugated pole face plates and a sort of hopper above into which the sand is poured. Small as the machine is, it is capable of handling in this wait' 110 tons of sand in a day, sifting out every particle of magnetite from that quantity of raw material. As the sand is poured into the hopper it falls through it and against the side of the revolving drum. The drum, thanks to the magnet inside of it, draws every particle of the magnet iron out of the sand and holds it tight- ly ightly against the outside of the revolving copper drum, while ii the sand -that is to say, the siliceous particles and dirt- drops irtdrops straight down into a receptacle beneath the table. The particles of Iron while magnetically held against the drum are moved downward by it over the wavy lines of force of fluted magnet face and vigorously shaken to and fro so as to detach all foreign mat- ter. It picks the attracted sand into thousands of pieces and shakes out the nonmagnetic sand. This is one of the prime features of the machine. It will be understood that the si- liceous sand is not attracted by the magnet, and on that account falls ver- tically, whereas the particles of Iron, which look like iron filings, stick fast to the drum in rapidly oscillating bunches until they drop off by their own weight into another receptacle. As a result. all the iron (magnetite) is in one box and the sand and other non- magnetic stuff. among which Is the gold, in another box. Powerful Yeast. The veteral editor of the Golde. (Colo.) Transcript, who hates a liar as he hates a delinquent subscriber, and who uses only the old reliable George Washington brand of truth in his business, fathers this strange story: "A Larimer county farmer lost a sow in a very queer manner last week.

So kind and obliging is the bishop of Norwich, England, that a host of sto- ries are told about how pe has got him- self into trouble by his willingness to help others. One day he was to hold a confirmation in a small town and, ar- riving some time before the hour for service, .took a stroll. His steps led him to the outskirts of the town, and, passing a picturesque little cottage, he stopped to admire it. A pretty little garden separated the cottage from the road, finished off with a neat hedge and green gate. "Oh, please, sir," said a voice from the other side of the hedge, "would you open -the gate for me?" This the bishop at once did. Then, to his surprise. instead of the tiny child he had cxi)ccted there stepped forth a girl big enough to have opened the gate herself. "And why, my dear," said Dr. Sheep- shanks. "coup you not open the gate for yourself ?" "Please, sir, because the paint's wet," said the girl. A glance at his hand convinced the bishop of the absolute truth of ber statement. Another story, which the bishop de- nies, yet which is told of him, relates that a small girl, having tried vainly to reach a knocker on a door. asked the bishop to rap it for her. Then she ad- vised him to run away, as she intended to do. Her Age. It is not an ordinary lawyer who can overcomtla woman's reluctance to tell her age.' Here is one of many failures In that line of effort. "And what is your age, madam?" was the attorney's question. "My own," she answered promptly. "I understand that, madam. but how old are you?" "1 am not old, sir," with indignation. "I beg your pardon, madam. I mean how many years have you passed?" "None. The years have passed me." "How many of them have passed you?" "AIL I never beard of them stop- ping." "Madam, you trust answer my ques- tion. I want to know your age." "I don't know that the acquaintance Is desired by the other side." "I don't see why you insist upon re- fusing to answer my question," said the attorney coaxingly. "1 am sure I would tell how old I was if I were Asked." "But nobody would ask you, for everybody knows you are old enough to know better than to be asking a woman her age, so there." And the attorney passed on to the next question. French Wit. The court of Louis XIV, even at the end of the seventeenth century, was al- ready iI synonym for that delicate epi- gramulatic cleverness essentially French. Wit was the mode, the su- preme mode among the wittiest people to the world and in an age which was pre-emipently the nge of good talk and bad deeds. "Monsieur." said Louis to a new em- bassador. "what 1 chiefly desire to im- press upon you Is that you follow a line of conduct entirely differeut frotn that of your predecessors." "Sire." replied the embassador, "I in- tend to act so that your majesty will not need to give such an instruction to my successor." Here indeed one might be daring but not dull. and frank but not feeble. When Bassompierre, embassador to 'Madrid, related to the monarch bow he had entered that city on a hand- some mule, "Oh, oh," said Louis, with a kingly wit. "what a fine thing to see au ass on it mule!" "Very fine. sire," replied Bassom- pierre. "1 was representing you!"- CornhilL Careful inquiries made in Polyneslflr islands, In New Guinea and west Afri- ca indicate that typhoid fever does not occur in those regions. but sebms to he a byproduct of civilization. The Address He Got, A Russian gentleman tells a funny story of his first encounter with the English language. The day after his arrival in London he made a call on a friend in Park lane, and on lensing the premises in- scribed in his notebook what he sup- posed to be the correct address. The next day, desiring to go to the same place again, he called a cabman and pointed to the address that be had written down. The cabman looked him over, laughed, cracked the whip, and drove away without him. This experience being repeated with two or three other cabmen, the Rus- sian turned indignantly to the police, with no better results. One officer would laugh, another would tap his bead and make a motion imitating the revolution of'a Wheel. Finally the poor foreigner gave it up, and, with a great deal of difficulty, recalling the landmarks which be had observed the day before, found his way to his friend's house. Once there, and in company with one who could under- stand hint, he delivered himself of a hot condemnation of the catimen and the police of London for their imperti- nence and discourtesy. His friend asked for a look at the mirth provoking address, and the mystery was solved. This was the entry: "Ring the bell." The Russian had with great care copied. character for character, the legend of tht• gatepost, supposing that it indicated the house and street. - Pea rson's. All There. A philanthropic citizen of Dashville, moved by sympathy for his uufortu- nate townspeople, who were suffering from want during an exceedingly cold winter. arranged a public entertain- ment in their behalf. No admissit n fee was charged. but it was announced that a collection would be taken. The evening came, and the hall was well filled. The entertainment, con- sisting of recitations. music and area - tear sleight of hand performances, was generously, applauded, and with much satisfaction the philanthropic citizen, assisted by the performers. proceeded to take up the contributions. They amounted to 5s. 6d. "Well." he said to the audience after he had counted the money, "this col- lection. as you understand, Is for the benefit of the poor -and they seem to be all here." -London Tit -Bits. Mustn't "Own" Their Engines. The railroad engineer who "owns" his engine is not in favor with bis su- periors. Complaints about trivial mat- ters are likely to be made against him, and soon he finds himself without a berth. The phrase "owning an engine" does not mean that the engineer has acquired title to his iron horse. The expression is used of a man who has been with a certain engine so long that he becomes a part of it. He knows its every peculiarity, he feels its every protest against a heavy load, and he nurses it and coddles it as if it were his child. IIe dislikes to run the en- gine at top speed for fear something will happen to it, and In consequence his train is frequently behind time. He takes it grade at half the rate he should. and he runs cautiously down' hill. In a word. he "owns" bis engine. Of course this is all very nice and idyllic, and It is the kind of thing a person likes to read about in stories of the railiload. But plain, practical rail- road men look at it,differently. They argue that the best engineer is the man who never fails to run his train accord- ing to his running time, the man who is never behind and seldom ahead. So It comes about that the engineer who makes a master of that which should be his sereant wonders who has a grudge against him. But it isn't a grudge; it's business. -New York Mail and Express.

One old Scotchwoman was very anxious to secure a photo- graph of the duchess. but the price ask- ed was 5 shillings. The old woman hesitated.

"You can have my husband," said the duchess. with an amused glance at the duke standing near, "for 2s. ed" The would be purchaser looked at tbe duke and then at his photograph con- temptuously. "Half a crown!" she blurted out. "1 wouldna give a silver saxpence for him. But," she added insinuatingly, "I am right willing to give bauf a croon for your bonnie sel'."

During the next few days the calico headgear vibrated with more or less regularity between the closet and the nail: Theta there came a day when the bride approached her husband with a man's hat in her band as he was in the act of reinstalling the. sunbonnet. "If you have that sunbonnet there," she said firmly. "I shall bang up my first husband's hat on the next nail." She looked at the bridegroom and met the counterpart of her own ex- pression.

"Come in the dining room." said the keeper's wife after the rescuer had warmed himself. "Come in and have dinner with us." Mr. Dorr thought that hunger bad made her mad.

Time Honored "Boxing" to Be Abol- ished and Degree System Substitut' ed—New Card Has the Advantages of Accuracy and Simplicity. According to the New York Herald, Rear Admiral R. B. Bradford, chief of the bureau of equipment, has sent to well known mariners for criticism a proposed new compass card designed by Lieutenant Commander S. B. W. Diehl, superintendent of compasses. The object of the proposed change is to omit the present system of points and fractions thereof and use degrees only. The present card contains points and degrees. The conversion of one in- to the other, Lieutenant Commander Diehl says, is a natural result of the presence of both, but is not a necessity, as would speedily be recognized were the points omitted. Accuracy requires expression in de- grees for courses, bearings and com- pass errors and not in points, the use of which is but a duplication of work. The circumference of the proposed card is divided auto the usual 360 de- grees and marked continuously to the right from zero degrees at north to 90 degrees at last, 190 degrees at south, 270 degrees at west and 360 degrees at north. The card is subdivided into divisions of ten degrees, accentuated by heavy lines on the graduated rim and by suit- able geometric figures on the card, each ten degree division on the card being indicated in figures by its appropriate NEW COMPASS CARD. number from zero degrees or north. Each ten degree division of the card is further subdivided into half and quer-' ter divisions and appropriately marked. I Every fifth degree line of the graduat- ed circle between the ten degree divi- sions is marked in figures, indicating its appropriate number from zero de grees or north. The cardinal and intercardinal direc- tions are emphasized on the card in geometric figures. In illustration of the simplicity of the proposed card Lieutenant Commander Diehl com- pares the present card of 360 degrees, having 32 points, one of which repre- sents 11% degrees, one-half point 5.625 degrees, one-quarter point 2.8125 de- grees, with the proposed card, also of 360 degrees, which has 36 divisions, one of which equals 10 degrees, one- half 5 degrees and one-quarter 2.5 de- grees. Lieutenant Commander Diehl says he believes the proposed marking of the compass car,] would result in greater accuracy in uavigation in its relation to the compas.<. Courses would be laid in degrees and more accurately noted, as the approximate course of S. W. by W. lei W., "a little westerly," for exam- ple, would be replaced by the exact course of 240 degrees. Chances of error in the application of the deviation to compass courses would be lessened. Conversion of points into degrees and the reverse would be elimi- nated from the problem. Boxing the compass would be a matter of a few minutes' instruction to the layman of average intelligence. Sailing directions would be simplified. Ml work in rela- tion to the compass would be facili- tated. American Pencils Gaining. The German pencil trade is suffering severely from competition of American lead pencil makers. The ingenious la- bor saving machinery of American fac- tories and their large scale of produc- tion, and especially cheaper prices at which they can supply themselves with cedar wood, are the chief causes for the failure of German makers to hold their own. The fact is that Ger- many is practically dependent upon the United States for her supply of cedar and the best of the wood is kept in America.—Scientific American. Cause of Sighing. Professor Lumsden says that sighing is simply pxygen starvation. Sighing is most commonly associated with wor- ry. An interval of several seconds often follows movements of mental disquietude, during which time the chest walls remain rigid until there is an imperative demand for oxygen, thus causing the deep inhalation. It is the expiration following the inspiration that is properly termed a sigh, and this sigh is simply an effort of the organism to obtain a necessary supply of oxygen. Englishmen In America, Among Englishmen who come to America a British author, Mr. Vachell, enumerates "the parson's son, the for- tune hunter, the moral idiot, the re- mittance man and the sportsman." It Is a clever and comprehensive catalogue, but It omits one of the types most interesting to Americans—the ir- responsible "younger son" sent to "the States" to seek a fortune he has never been able to find at home or to avoid a maturing crop of wild oats.—New York Herald. OCEAN TELEPHONY SOON. Scientists Believe That This Difficult Problem Has Been Solved. According to a recent issue of The Electrical Review, a telegraph and tel- ephone company has purchased the patents of Dr. M. I. Pupin of Columbia university, which, it asserts, cover the art of oceau telephony and unable tele- phone messages to be sent over any length of land lines. It adds that the sum of $200,000 has been paid to Dr. Pupin for this invention, with aa 'an- nual salary of $7,500 to him during the life of the patents. Two patents were issued in June. 1900, for the invention referred to, which is described at length and char- acterized as one of the most brilliant and exceptional inventions of Dr. Pu - pin. 'It had been thought necessary in or- der to talk a given distance, say 500 miles, with underground cables to em- ploy large copper wires thickly cov• er•ed with insulating material. The ex- pense of such wires and material has been sufficient to prevent the construc- tion of long underground circuits. Dr. Pupin's invention, it is declared, furnishes a method whereby conduct- ors of relatively small diameter cover- ed with lusulating material of moder- ate thickness may be used in place of the large and expensive conductors for- merly thought necessary. It is difficult to express In nontechnical language the theory upon which the invention Is based. but it may be said to be a method of "fighting fire with fire-" One difficulty with which telephonists most contend is what they call "self Induction," another is "static retarda- tion," and a third is known as "re- sistance." Dr. Pupin has placed these various difficulties in such a settled relation that they have expended their malign influence upon one another and have left the telephone current free to pro- ceed upon its way unmolested. In other words, he has "set a thief to catch a thief," and these disturbers ex- pending their evil strength on them- selves neutralize their destructive qualities. The article finishes as fol- lows: "Experimenting with artificial con. doctors, Dr. Pugin discovered that it was possible to telephone over vastly greater lengths of cable than had ever been possible before and is able to make any desired length of telephone circuit easily possible. He has shown a design for inductance coils to be in- troduced at appropriate intervals in a transatlantic cable, which would allow telephonic conversation to be held across the Atlantic ocean. "It is believed by those who have Investigated the subject fully that the improvement which his inventions con template will enable telephony over land lines of any length that are in use today and solves the 'difficult and attractive problem of ocean teleph- ony." We Lead the World. The United States seems likely to stand at the head of the world's list of exporting nations in the year 1900. During the past five years only the United Kingdom and the United States could be considered as competitors for the distinction of being the world's greatest exporter of articles of home production. In 1894 the United King- dom led the United States by nearly $250,000,000, and in 1897 the United States had so rapidly gained that she was but $60,000,000 behind. In 1898 the United States took first place, oar exports in that year exceeding those of the United Kingdom by nearly $100,000,000. In 1899 the United King - dem again stood at the head of the list, her exports exceeding those of the United States by nearly $35,000,000. In the 11 months of 1900 the domestic exports of the United States exceed those of the United Kingdom by $5,- 473,670, and should this rate of gain be maintained in December the United States will in the year 1900 show a larger exportation of domestic products than any other nation in the world. Comparing the growth of our export trade during the last quarter of the century with that of the other great nations of the world, we are able to better measure the wonderful progress shown. France shows no increase in her exports of domestic merchandise in the closing quarter of the century. Germany shows during the same pe- riod An increase of about 50 per cent, and the United Kingdom shows from 1875 to 1900 an increase of nearly 40 per cent, while the United States shows during thtt time an increase of practically 200 per cent. In 1875 the exports of domestic merchandise from the United States amounted to $497,- 263,737, while those of Great Britain aggregated $1,087,497,000. In 11 months of 1900 the United States ex- ported goods worth $1,308,913,789, while the United Kingdom's exports amounted to $1,303,440,000.—Philadel- phia Press. Arsenic In Wall Paper.

The woman who had the part of the victim was taken ill, and a substitute was found in' the wife of one of the trainers, herself a trainer of some ex- perience, but without any acquaintance With tiiese particular six lions. As she was somewhat nervous she carried a small club ready for use should occa- sion arise. Amid the breathless silence of the spectators the ringmaster explained the ferocious nature of the lions and the terrible risk of the woman, and she was thrust in at the cage door. In the excitement of the occasion the door was not securely shut after her. Ne sooner was she fairly inside than the six monarchs of the jungle, seeing that a strange person had been forced upon them, raised a chorus of shudder- ing terror, bolted for the cage door, clawed it open and with dragging tails and cringing flanks fled out through e rear entrance and found refuge in a cellar, whence they were dislodged on- ly after great difficulty. It was a week before the "ferocious man eaters" were sufficiently recover- ed from their terrors to reappear in public.—McCiure's Magazine, - A Splendid Blas. Sir Walter Besant is said to have once settled a disputed cab fare in a novel manner. He drove from Picca- dilly to some place in the suburbs out- side the radius. On getting down he tendered to the driver three shillings and sixpence, which was a little over the proper fare. The man, however, wanted five shillings. Besant refused. "I'd like to fight you for it,” said the driver. "The very thing," said Besant. who had never in his life put on a boxing glove and was almost as ignorant as Pickwick even of the fighting attitude. "The very thing! Capital! . We'll have the tight in the back garden. My brother will look on, hold the stakes and see fair!" The cabman got down slowly, as if he did not quite care about it after a11. He followed into the garden, where there was a lovely bit of green turf. Besant placed the five shillings In his friend's hands, took off his ceat and waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves— all with an air of cheerful alacrity. "Now, my friend," said he, "I am ready as soon as you are." His anxiety was great, but it decreased as he watched the cabman's face express siccessively all the emotions of bounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation and abject cowardice. "No, no," he said at last. "Gimme the three and six. I know your tricks, both of you. I've been done this way before." "% Freaa:.

"This is a strange place for a cooper shop," said a stranger in New York. pointing to a sign over a basement in the wholesale dry goods district. "Yes; it would be a queer place," was the answer, "It the product was like that of nearly all cooper shops. But there was never a barrel made in the place, and probalaly not one of the 15 igen who work there could head a bar- rel, to say nothing of making one. This cooperage does business only with blg wholesale houses." There are several similar shops in the district- They make a business of strapping cases of merchandise after they have been packed. The large concerns have the cases put in the street after they have been packed, and then the cooper is sent for to nail the wooden straps around them.

A poor, dispirited,, sad faced man held it with its red face wabbling over his shoulder and its feet occasionally beating the air as it re- newed its pathetic screams. The wo- men glared at him. "No wonder it cries," said one. "See how.that idiot is holding it." The old married man longed to give him a word or two about carrying a child on the public cars. The bachelor swore under his breath and said something about nui- sances on street cars and forcing 'Tee- ple to quit after paying their fares. Meanwhile the baby screamed louder than ever, and the poor fatherwas wild. He saw the looks on the faces around him. He knew exactly what those folks were thinking. Finally he said, with a tremble in his voice, "La- dies and gentlemen, you must excuse this baby, but its mother"— Tears stole down his haggard face. "Oh, the poor little thing," interrupted the old maid in the corner sweetly. "Let me hold the little angel." The old bachelor turned hastily aside and wiped a tear which had given his eye a surprise party, and the married man coughed and felt a strange lump in his throat.

Within the province of the household glue will be found a valuable auxiliary. The best regulated family must some- times confess to the possession of a piece of furniture requiring its useful offices. The armless chair, the legless table, the broken, humiliated remnants. of once useful and pretentious house- hold furnishings, are familiar objects in many a home, yet these may come within the pale of possible redemption and renew the promise of continued usefulness. During the past few years there have been written many dissertations con- demnatory of the use of glue in the construction of furniture, .inspired mainly by those who, while well inten- tioned, have been satisfied to gain their knowledge on the subject secondhand, or at best from theoretical rather than practical sources. Glue in its place and with proper usage has its value. It is not the use, but rather the abuse, of 1t that is to be condemned. The joint that is strong enough in Itself without the glue can surely lose nothing In stability by its addition. - , So to glue two pieces of wood togeth- er that they adhere and become as one will at first thought seem an act so simple as to render any suggestion as to the.proper method of procedure un- necessary, and yet, simple as it seems and in reality is, the number of persons at all conversant with Its proper-ac- compiishment are indeed very limited. It has been remarked that, where home efforts hate been made at rejoin- ing, in very many cases they seem to have been conducted on the theory that the more glue used the stronger. the joint would be, but the reverse would be nearer the troth. Theless used the better, providing 'all the parts of the surfaces to be joined are covered. Be - 'fore applying the glue beat the pieces you desire to join; then, when glued, bring and hold together in position "with a handscrew, or,, in the absence of this useful article, bind up with cord or -rope until the joint Is thoroughly hardened, when the restraint may be removed. and all spperfuous'glue scrap- ed off. In addition to this, where pos- nible, it would be well to further make the -work secure ity the addition of a pail, being careful not to split the wood In the operation. Every description of gluing should bedone in the same man- ner. The wood should previously be warmed, not: too much,- however, be- cause it scorched. the lite of !the glue will be destroyed or at least the power of adhesion be impaired,.. But when all is 'said there' is some- thing of -greater, importance its n' fac- tor of success than ,any :meohaeichl manipulation, and that is the quality and condition of the glue. In all well regulated 'furniture establishments the utmost care is .exercised ,in. keeping 1t `sweet and clean. When old and de- cayed, glue becomes absolutely worth- less *for purposes of adhesion. It can therefore readily be seen that to insure satisfactory results such ,precautions as we have pointed oat are alike bind- ing on -amateur and prefessilonai. Let it be constantly borne In mind also that as much of the. glue as possi- ble should be pressed out of the Joint; otherwiee'it wiltnot hold forany length of time. -:For the reason that the Japa- nese do not take this fact into consid- eration it will be found that their wood- work crumbles to pieces when submit- ted to the -test of your climate.

Olive 011 .r or In8Yrs„.t:os..' One has only to consider how olive oil is used In the warm parts of Europe where the olive oil is cultivated., and how ghee is used in India in order to satisfy oneself that oily matter may be taken with facility in hot countries as well as in cold. You hear nothing about indigestion in these lands. You find that a bad olive harvest or scant supply of ghee 1s a great national ca- lamity. A Hindoo servant of a friend who kept up his Indian habits of eat- ing in London has told me that in his own case nothing would make up for a deficiency of ghee, or butter, and that his experience in this matter was the common experience of his country- men at home or away from home. In- deed it may be taken for granted that oil may be used in large quantities throughout the year in the hot, oU e growing countries of the south of Ed - rope not only without making the peo- ple bilious or out of order in any way, but with unmistakable benefit. Dr. Cohnheim, at the international medical congress, detailed his experi- ence with large doses of olive oil in cases of severe gastric distress. In his first case the young man had suffered from an injury in the gastric region, and it seemed probable that an ulcer had resulted. The pain on eating was so great aa to make him avoid food. A wineglassful of olive oil taken before meals gave complete relief. The same remedy was tried In other cases in which stomach discomfort was a prom- inent symptom. Even 1n cases of gas- tric cancer relief was afforded to many symptoms. In cases of Pylorus steno- sis most satisfactory results were se- cured as far as the alleviation of symp- toms was concerned. Cohnheim has treated 12 cases of gastric catarrh by this method with uniformly good re- sults whenever the patients bore the oil well. Patients who had lost so much weight as to appear almost cachectic began immediately to gain in weight and within a couple of months gained from 15 to 30 pounds. Professor Mathieu of Paris said that in certain parts of the country, both of Germany and France, olive oil Is used as a family remedy for all stomach pains and has a high reputation. In his practice at the Hospital Andra Dr. Mathieu has often used this remedy and knows how efficient it is where - less simple remedies have failed. He recommends it with confidence, despite the fact that it Is a popular ' hyglenic rather than a drug medicine.—Dr. M. L. Holbrook in Health Magazine. llogtslar Conrail.

J. S. Tandiver is likely to lose his sinecure as clerk of the senate com- mittee on reapportionment, owing to his connection with the pardon of Mollie Morris, the shop lifter. Mr. Whitford is a member of the sub committee of seven on reap- portionment, which will virtually do all the work. The bill placing the normal schools on the general tax levy was indefinite- ly postponed in the house, as it de- served to be. There is much opposition to the proposed constitutional convention on account of the great expense, and the passage of the bill is very uncer- tain. It the state oil inspector is getting too much money for his alleged services, the siinplest solution of the matter is to reduce the fees to a business basis. Then there would be no large surplus to turn over to the campaign fund of a political party, and possibly the price of oil might be reduced somewhat in the interests of the consumer. Mrs. N. D.

A new form of phonograph that dif- fers radically from the Edison type has been invented by Professor Paulsen of Copenhagen. He calls it the telegra- phone, and those who have investigat- ed the invention say it is much sim- pier, more sensitive and reproduces with far greater accuracy the sounds read than does any other machine. A steel piano wire a meter or so long is tightly stretched between two bridges. The wire is about .5 milli- meter diameter. A tiny electro magnet has a core of a single piece of soft iron wire about 8 millimeters long and .75 millimeter diameter. The termi- nals of this electro magnet are eon- nected through a battery with a micro- phone—the fortn employed in a tele- phone transmitter will do. Now, as one speaks or sings into the transmit- ter the electro magnet is passed over the wire. As it moves along, its mag- netization varying with the vibrations of the voice, it induces at every point along the wire a permanent magnetism corresponding to the magnetic condi- tion of the electro magnet the instant it passed. This gives, as it were, a perfect photograph of the sound vibra- tions impressed upon the wire in terms of magnetic light and shade. The transmitter is how replaced by a re- ceiving telephone, and as one listens the electro magnet is made to repeat, at the same rate, its journey over the wire. The telephone will then repeat with great clearness and absolute accu- racy the original sounds. According to the Chicago Tribune, this magnetic impression in the steel wire is permanent and does not wear out by use any more than a photograh- lc negative wears out by printing from it. But, like the film on a negative, the impression may easily be removed and the wire used again. All that is neces- sary is to connect the electro magnet with a current slightly exceeding the maximum current that passed while recording and flowing in the opposite direction. With this constant current flowing the electro magnet is moved over the wire, and all traces of the pre- vious impression are removed. A record of any length may be made by any simple device for lengthening the wire. For instance, the wire may be wound in a spiral upon a cylinder. The inventor has even found that thin, narrow steel foil works admirably and that this may be wound upon any sim- ple bobbin—one layer over the other— and that the impressions will remain good for a long period. They will, however, finally transfer and become blurred as two freshly printed pages brought together will do. This, howev- er, may be avoided in both cases by in- terposing between the layer thin paper or cloth. The wonderful simplicity of this lit- tle instrument, together with the ingen- ious application of a well known fact, suggests interesting possibilities. Much of interest Ices in the world just be- yond the limit of our senses. Celestial photography has revealed worlds be- yond the appreciation of the eye, even though the eye be aided with the most powerful instrument. Perhaps mag- netic photographs of sounds can be en- larged and analyzed too. , I Both Were Surprised. I The third time I changed cars at the r Hornellsville Union railroad station and lunched at the little grillroom just up the street the jolly little proprietor recognized me as a regular patron and did his best to entertain me while my special pot of coffee was coming to a boil. "Notice that fellow who just went out?" he asked, chuckling contentedly. to himself. I hadn't noticed particularly, but I knew it would be disconcerting to ad- mit, so I nodded encouragingly, says a writer in the New York Herald. "Well," he continued, "that's Jim Smith — Long Jim Smith they call him -conductor of the Erie, and, say, l e's laying for inc. Greatest practical joker you ever saw. Always getting rigs on me, end I never could get back on him until last week, and then I was about as much surprii ed as he was. "I was coming down the street and saw a crowd gathered around some Sal- vation Army singers. Long Jim was away on the edge of the crowd, stand- ing on Iris tiptoes -so he could see over the heads of the rest. He had his back to me, and, sticking out from un- der his arm, was a big bag of lemons. I saw my chance, and I sneaked quiet- ly behind him, hauled off and gave that bag of lemons an awful swipe with my cane." Here the little man went off into an uncontrollable fit of laughter over the remembrance. He laughed till his sides shook and tears ran down his face. I waited till he had quieted down. • "Well?" I queried. "Scattered the lemons all about, I suppose?" "Scattered! Ho, ho, bo! He! Hi, hi, hi! He! Hum! Well, I should say so. But they wasn't lemons; they was eggs." Crusade Against the Pillow. Is it better to sleep with the head high or low? This is a question which manufacturers of bedclothes apparent- ly answered Lang ago by announcing authoritatively that no one in his senses would think of lying down to sleep unless be had a pilloar and a bolster under his head. Now, how- ever, a French scientist comes forward and says that any one who rests his head on a pillow and bolster while he is sleeping is slowly but surely com- mitting suicide. Tiffs scientist is M. A. Feret, and it was at the recent meet- ing of the French Society of Hygiene that he expressed his heterodox views on the subject. According to M. Feret, the only natural position for man while sleep- ing is the horizontal one, and the first thing to do in order to accustom one- self to it is to remove the bolster. Within a few months, he says, one will he able to sleep much more calmly than- ever before and, moreover, the general health will be much improved. "This statement," he insists, "is not made lightly, but is the result of long experience." The next step, he says, is to remove the pillow, for not until then will thg circulation of the blood be as free as it should be. In further explanation he says -that the pillow and bolster keep the head and neck at an abnormal angle, and that consequently the sleeper's entire body remains during the night in au uncomfortable position and one which impedes the tree course of the blood through the vessels and organs. The only remedy, he maintains, is to adopt a horizontal poeltian, since by it alone is absolute rest guaranteed, and this rest is due to the fact that in such a position the ligaments of the neck are not strained or distorted, the lungs eas- ily perform their proper work and the heart beats regularly. Ninety Miles an Hour. The unusual speed of 90 miles per hour was recently made by the •Black Di- amond express of the Lehigh Valley railroad. The train consisted of four Pullman cars and an "Atlantic" type engine. This train was 18 minutes late at Rochester Junction, and on the run to Manchester an attempt to make up the lost time was made and was more than accomplished. One section of the road a distance of 5.1 miles was made in exactly 8 minutes and 41 seconds.— Railway Review. Unwashed Fruit. "All kinds of diseases may be traced to the eating of unwakhed fruit," says a well known authority on bacteriology in commenting on the spread of dis- ease through unknown sources. The result of a careful examination has clearly shown the danger of eating fruit of any kind without washing it. Engineering Congress. Arrangements are being made among the various scientific and mechanical institutions in London to hold an en- gineering congress at the Glasgow ex- hibition next summer. The Pie Eaters. Pie in New England is served in many queer ways, especially the king of all pies, the royal mince. Not long ago there appeared a sign in the station of staid, crooked and correct Boston—a sign bearing the strange device, "Hot Mince Pie and Ice Cream." This is a mild combination compared with one that was served in this city at a midnight supper. A Welsh rab- bit was being made, and there were some who did not care to eat it on crackers; no toast in the house, for it was the fire's evening out. A mince pie was found lurking in the ice chest and pressed into ser ice. The rabbit was spread over the pie, and both van- ished in a short time. Those who ate are still afraid in the dark, for they can imagine that the same things are coming for them again as came during their dreams of that wild, weird night. A local minister tells a pie story on himself that is a "corker." He is a delicate man, and his wife was down 011 pie for him and vetoed it for fami- ly use. Once he went to a convention in Pittsfield, and a dinner was served at which there were seven kinds of pie. The minister took a "little of each, please," and never enjoyed him- self so much in his life.—Baltimore American. Why Bees Work In Darkness. Bees go out all day gathering honey and work at night in the hive, building their combs as perfectly as if an elec- tric light shone there all the time. Why do they prefer to work in the dark? is often asked. Every one knows that honey is a liquid with no solid sugar in it. After standing it gradual- ly assumes a crystalline appearance or granulates and ultimately becomes a solid mass. Honey has been experimentally in- closed in well corked flasks, some of which were kept in perfect darkness, while the others were exposed to the light. The result was that the portion exposed to the light soon crystallized, while that kept in the dark remained unchanged. Hence we see why the bees are so careful to obscure the glass windows which are placed in their hives. The existence of the young depends on the liquidity of the saccharine food pre- sented to them, and if light were allow- ed access to this it would in all prob- ability prove fatal to the inmates of the hive.—Weekly Bouquet. Writing an Ad. Did you ever stop to think, you who read the advertisement in the newspa- pers, just what it means to get up the "ad." every day for a big department store? The man in charge usually has a staff of assistants, who are assigned to certain departments of the store each day. They must familiarize them- selves with the stock of these depart- ments, while the manager of the ad- vertising department himself is sup- posed to keep thoroughly in touch with the entire stock of the store. He writes the general introduction to the advertisement each day and edits the copy turned in to him by his assistants, just as an editor handles the copy of his reporter& "Just as much care is taken with this matter as though it were so much imperishable literature," said the ad- vertising manager of a big department store. "You sometimes hear of a fa- mous author spending hours over one paragraph, writing it and rewriting it to get the best and strongest effect. You wouldn't think that would be nec- essary in writing an advertisement, but it is. My assistants sometimes spend an hour over one sentence. There is more science in writing an adver- tisement that will bring results thar perhaps in any other form of compo- sition."—Philadelphia Record. Prairie Grass Matting. Prairie grass matting is a floor cov- ering manufactured out of the long, tough wire grass of the northwestern part of our country. Some think that it bids fair to more than compete with Chinese matting. The grass is wrap- ped by means of fine twine in rolls the thickness of a man's finger. These are colored and tightly woven together. The natural color is green, but red and blue tints are introduced, which are said to be produced from the roots of the white walnut and the wild indigo. Chicago's Public Baths. Chicago has four public bathhouses and gives an average of 50,000 free baths a month. Competent, but Uncanny. tL A. Gallagher, district passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad, while en route south was taken quite 111 and was compelled to stop at Mont- gomery, Ala. He went to a hotel and sent for a physician. The medical man said: "You have a case of pneumonia and must have a nurse." "All right," said Gallagher. "Do you know a good nurse you can send to look after me?" The doctor said he did and would have the nurse at the hotel within an hour. In about an hour a colored wo- man who measured about nine feet in girth put in an appearance, and Gal- lagher asked her if she had ever nurs- ed sick people. "Yes, indeed," she replied. "I'ze had considerable sperience with ailing pus - sons. I nussed Marster John, and he died; then I mussed Mistress Lucy, and she died; then I nussed Mistress Lu- cy's sister. The doctor didn't think she was so very poorly, but she done died." "Have you had any other experi- ence in nursing?" asked Gallagher. "Yes, indeed. Only last week I left Colonel Carter's house, where I nussed the colonel for five days," "Well, did the colonel get well?" ask- ed Gallagher. "No. The colonel he died, too, but Dr. Jones, who 'tended him, run a big knife into the colonel and opened him up. The doctor had been out latetha night before and was a little nervous. The knife sort of slipped and just about cut the colonel's heart out. Then the doctor said all h— couldn't save him," "You seem to be a good nurse," said Gallagher, "and you're engaged."—Cin- cinnati Enquirer. Not So Far Gone. The last letter he received from wifey conveyed the intelligence that she was quite sick, and of course be was considerably worried. But he was comforted by the fact that she was with her mother. He wrote her an af- fectionate letter and told her to be sure and let him know if she grew worse. The next letter conveyed the intelli- gence that she was a little worse, though the doctor said it -was nothing serious. But he worried a great deal. The next afternoon a telegraph boy sauntered into his office with the usual nonchalance of a messenger boy con- veying a "rush" message and shoved the book under hubby's nose. "Is dis Mr. Blank?" asked the boy. "Yes," gasped hubby, cold chills chas- ing up and down his spine. "Message f'r you. Sign here. De charges is 60 cents." Hubby grabbed the fateful manila envelope and hastily tore it open. What he suffered while tremblingly unfold- ing the bit of yellow paper can be im- agined, but not described. He was al- most afraid to read it, but finally he nerved himself for the worst. This is what he read: "Turn off the water and don't forget to give the bird plenty of seed."—Oma- ha World -Herald. The Coroner's Two Verdicts. "Inquests are sometimes very funny affairs," remarked a western man. "I remember one in the early days of my county in Kansas. A roan was found dead by the side of a small stream out on the prairie. No mark was found on his well dressed body. His gun was fully loaded in his hip pocket, and $25 was found in his pocketbook. Of course the coroner took charge of the money. A jury was Impaneled and after finishing its deliberations found that the man clearly died of heart fail- ure. The coroner promptly paid from the dead man's pile the $12 due for ex- penses and discharged the jury. The $13 remaining bothered him. He ar- gued that to turn that $13 over to the county, to be held in trust for the man's possible relatives, would be the same as throwing it away. The man was a stranger in those parts. Possi- bly be had no friends. The coroner was equal to the occa- sion, however. He declared himself dissatisfied with the verdict and call- ed the jury together again. They sat on the body a second time and found exactly the same verdict, but the coro- ner's mind was at ease. The $25 was exhausted."—Washington Star. Less Hopeful For Himself. George, the colored janitor, needed some money and went to the church treasurer for it. "There isn't a cent in my hands just now, George," said that officer, "and won't be till next Sunday's collections are handed over. Can't you wait till then?" "Don't see how I kin, Mistah Gub- ney," persisted George. "K'yarn't run de house widout money." "The best I can do for you," returned the treasurer, "will be to advance you $3 out of my own pocket and run my risk of getting It back from the church." "Well, suh." solemnly rejoined the' janitor, "ef you don't git it back 'm de chu'ch, Mistah Gubney, you'll git yo' reward in de good world, but it's diffn't wid me. Ef I cain't git dat tree dollahs rm you. I'd like t' know whab I kin!"—Chicago Tribune. A Fetching Compliment. She was not frors Chicago. "Do not anger me," she said.

That fetched her.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Pat's Retort. An Irishman passing h store in Lon- don saw nothing inside but a man at a table. The thing struck him as being very odd, so he went in and inquired what was sold there. "Asses' heads," said the man at the table.

While crossing the isthmus of Pana- ma by rail some years ago the conduct- or obligingly stopped the train for Mr. Campion to gather' some beautiful crimson flowers by the roadside. It was midday and intensely hot. In his "On the Frontier" Mr. Campion tells a peculiar story of this flower picking experience. I refused offers of assistance and went alone to pluck the flowers. After gathering a handful I noticed a large bed of plants knee high and of delicate form and a bountiful green shade. I walked to them, broke off a fine spray and placed it with the flowers. To my amazement I saw that I had gathered a withered, shriveled, brown- ish weed. I threw it away, carefully selected a large, bright green plant and plucked it. Again I had in my band a bunch of withered leaves. It flashed through my mind that a sudden attack of Panama fever, which was very prevalent and much talked ef, had struck me delirious. I went "off my head" from fright. In a panic I threw the flowers down and was about to run to the train. I looked around. Nothing seemed strange. I felt my pulse. All right. I was in a perspiration, but the heat would have made a lizard perspire. Then I noticed that the plants where 1 stood seemed shrunken and wilted. Carefully I put my finger on a fresh branch. Instantly the leaves shrank and began to change color. I had been frightened by sensiti$e plants. _ e, , •y A Bit of Red Tape. The absurdities of officialism have perhaps never been better illustrated than by the incident in the career of Lord Shaftesbury which the author of "Collections and Recollections" relates: One winter evening in 1867 be was sitting in his library in Grosvenor square, when the servant told him that there was a poor man waiting to see him. The man was shown in and proved to be a laborer from Clerken- well and one of the innumerable re- cipients of the old earl's charity. He said, "My lord, you have been very good to me, and I have come to tell you what I have heard." It ap- peared that at the public house which he frequented he had overheard some Irishmen of desperate character plot- ting to blow up Clerkenwell prison. He gave Lord Shaftesbury the in- formation, to be used as he thought best, but made it a condition that his name should not be divulged. If it were, his life would not be worth an hour's purchase. Lord Shaftesbury pledged himself to secrecy, ordered his carriage and drove instantly to Whitehall. The authori- ties there refused, on grounds of offi- cial practice, to entertain the informa- tion v;ithout the name and address of the informant. These, of course, could not be given. The warning was re- jected, and the jail was blown up.— Youth's Companion. Her Wedding "Tower." An accommodation train on a dis- tant railroad was dragging along, when a long, lean and sallow woman, in what appeared to be subdued bridal finery, leaned across the aisle of the car and said seriously to a lady sitting opposite her: "Dear me! It's a kind of a solemn thing to be travelin with two hus- bands, now, ain't it?" "I do not know what you mean," re- plied the lady. "Oh, nit: ne not. Well, you see, my first husband died 'bout a year ago an was buried over in Patrick county, an last week 1 was married ag'in, an me an my second husband have been over in Patrick county on a little wed - din tower, an I thought I'd kind of like to have my first husband buried in the graveyard nigh where I'm goin to live now, an my second husband was willin, so we tuk my first hus- band up, an he's in the baggage car along with our other things. My sec- ond husband is settin out on the platform takin a smoke, an I been settin here thinkin bow solemn it is to go on a weddin tower with two husbands. It's a turrible solemn piece of bizness when you come to think of it."—Laurence Lee in Lippincott's Magazine. An Ample Kitchen, What is said to be the largest kitchen In England !s that of Baby Castle, the seat of the Duke of Cleveland. It is 30 feet square, having three chimneys, one for the grate, a second for the stoves, and the third for the great caldron. The roof is arched, with a small cupola in the center. It has five windows, from each of which steps descend, but only in one instance to the floor, and a gallery runs round the whole interior of the building. The ancient oven has a diameter of 15 feet. Vast as this kitchen is, it must have been sometimes taxed by the hospital- ity of former ages, for in one of the apartments of the great castle 700 knights were upon one occasion enter- tained at the Same time. . And the knights of that day were men of brawn and sinew, who would think lightly of demolishing, each man of them, five pounds of beef, half a sucking pig, a venison pasty or two, washed down with huge flagons of brown October.— New York Tribune. Why Cables Get Tired. There has been some question, says The Electrical Engineer, as to the rea- son why certain cables lose their con- ducting properties and , have in some instances to be replaced. A learned Frenchman has submitted a paper on the subject to the Academie des Sci- ences. In this paper he states that when cables nose their electrical prop- erties it is because they are always used for one kind of current only, ei- ther positive or negative. If used sometimes for positive and sometimes for negative, they will, he states, pre- serve their conductive qualities indef- initely. Experiments with nine wires running from Paris to Dijon demon- strated this. he says. Writing With Aluminium on Glass. In a patent for writing on glass the glass is first moistened with strong vin- egar, and. the writing or other design is then made with an aluminium point. .Infinitesimal particles of -the soft metal are left adhering to the glass, and the writing is fairly permanent.

A. young man named Henry Hamann, living at home on a farm in Empire, four miles northeast of Farmington, attacked three of his brothers with a revolver 'Thursday morning in a fit of insanity. He fired first at Joseph, missing him, put a bullet through a finger of Peter, and another in Frank's left side near the heart. It followed a rib around the body, coming out on the side, but the wound is not considerecl danger- ous. He was then overpowered and taken to Farmington, where he was locked up. Henry bad been acting queerly for some days, imagining that drugs were being placed in his food and drink. He was to have a hearing yesterday. Church Announcements.

One of the officials of the road had invited a party of gentlemen to take a little pleasure excursion over a part of the line on his private car. Before the appointed day he was taken sick and called in his chef and commissary. "Eph," he said, "I have asked these friends and can neither go with them nor disappoint them. I want you to give them the best there is in the larder and see that it is served as well as it would be at the best hotel in the world." Eph scratched his head and looked troubled, but simply said, "Yes, sah." On the return several of the gentle- men congratulated the official upon having such a "man," and one or two intimated that if Eph ever wanted an- other position he would have no trou- ble in securing it. Finally Eph reported. "It wa' a great outin, sah," be assured his employer. "Yas, sab; dat's right, sah; a stupen- diflcious outln, sah. De gem'men all done me proud, and I tells 'em it wa' you, sab." Then Eph showed the bill, and it was a stunner for length and amount. He stood hat in hand until the official said: "Pretty steep, Eph; pretty steep. Noth- ing left out and nothing but the best" "Dat's right, sah. I was rusticated mos' to deaf. sah, but I jes' says to my- self, sah, dat dey was no greater epicac in de fan dan you is, and I bought and cooked and served, sah, jes' like it we' you." -Detroit Free Press. The Smothering Scene. As to stage appointments, there were no plush or velvet curtains or couches draped with satin in early days. The furniture was as unpreten- tious as the costumes. Indeed on one occasion when a lady was playing Des- demona to her husband's Othello a dis- astrous and at the same time ludicrous effect, though of course unrehearsed, had been imminent through the lack of even a nail or two to make an old stool steady. It was the smothering scene, and the couch was made up of two chairs and a rickety stool covered, of course, with the simplest draperies -a red merino curtain trimmed with yellow worsted fringe. Imagin,,a Desdemona endeav- oring to recline gracefully, all the whil feeling portions of her couch sliding from under her. This is how the scene was played out: Desdcmona-Hill me tomorrow; let me live to- night. (I'm falling, dear!) Othello -Nay, if you strive- (Keep quite still.) Desdemona-But halt an hour. (Oh, hold me!) Othello -Being done, there is no pause. (I'll push the stool under.) Desdemona-But while I say a prayer. (Do be quick, Robert, it is slipping.) Othello -It is too late! Which, indeed, it was,'for the bed col- lapsed, and Desdemone s body lay up on the floor, her head upon the sole chair, which stuck to its post faithful - ,y. -Gentleman's Magazine. A Dreadful Moment. A conductor on the Park line had an experience the other day that is quite certain to cause him many uncomforta- ble minutes in the future. His car stopped at Spruce street to let a middle aged lady on, and as she took her seat the conductor gave the motorman two bells, and the car shot ahead. When the conductdr entered the car, the wo- man in question was looking out of the window and did not see his outstretch- ed hand. "Fare, please," remarked the con- ductor. The wonthn evidently did not hear him, for she did not turn her head. Neither did she hold out the necessary coin. "Fare, please," said the conductor in a louder tone. But the woman paid no heed. Then the conductor touched her on the shoul- der and in a tone of voice that rang through the car exclaimed: "Your fare, please, lady!" Then the woman turned hastily around and looked at the conductor. The knight of the bellcord -gave one gasp and fled to the back platform. The woman was his mother -in -law. - Omaha World -Herald. The Two Senators. Congressman Jones of Virginia told this story of his father: Directly after the war Jones senior was sent to the state senate. An old slave who had belonged to him was also elected to the senate. The two drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones was very courteous and in addressing his former slave always called him senator. The old negro stood it for some time and finally said: "Massa William, I don't like dis sena- tor business. Kain't I come down to yo' house and visit that cook of yourn? I suhtinly would like permission to vis- it yo' kitchen." The request was granted, and while Senator Jones was in his library the other senator was down in the kitchen visiting the cook. A Grand Memory. A highland girl, who had been In service in Dundee and had gone to a place farther south, celled upon her old mistress on her way north to visit. her friends. She was invited to take dinner with the family, and her master asked a blessing on the meal as usual, when the girl said: "My, maister, ye maun ha'e a gran' memory. That's the grace ye said when I was here sax years syne."- London Telegraph. Suited Him.

Edmond de Verneuil had thrown him- self into an easy chair with his chi- bouk and, through the wreaths of smoke ascending from the fragrant weed, sat staring in astonishment at his friend, Louis Duvivier. Neither of the men bad spoken for some moments. At last De Verneull said, with a with- ering look of pity: "And so you have really determined to throw yourself into the matrimonial sea. Poor, unfortunate man! I had hoped better things for you." "Thanks," replied Duvivier sharply. "Your compliment at Least possesses the merit of not being banal. I an- nounce to you my approaching mar- riage with a charming girl whom I adore, and you have nothing to offer but lamentations." "My friend," said De Verneuil, plac- ing his pipe on the inlaid taboret be- side him, "I never play the hypocrite. It is a part I have always eschewed, and upou such a sorrowful announce- ment I can only offer my most sincere condolence." Duvivier looked somewhat annoyed as he listened, but the shadow of impa- tience soon passed away, and he de- scribed in glowing terms the beauty of his young fiancee, Mlle. Helene De- schamps. "So much the worse," said the crusty bachelor. "Your case, which at first seemed only dangerous, is now incura- ble. and your happiness, which appear- ed probable, 1s now no longer possible. To have a pretty wife, sir, is to be de- voured by jealousy." "Mlle. Deschamps is wealthy and possesses a fortune in her own right," calmly observed Duvivier, without commenting on his friend's remarks. "Then, with her luxurious and ex- pensive tastes, she will simply ruin you, my dear fellow," retorted De Ver- neuil. But Louis Duvivier did not intend to be disturbed by Edmond de Ver- neuil's bitter comments and followed the announcement of his fiancee's wealth by declaring that her mamma was charming. "Theu you will have that bete noire, a mother -!n -law," growled De Verneull. "Your ruin is complete, old fellow, and I haven't the slightest hope for you." DuvIvIer laughed good naturedly and assured De Verneull that, notwithstand- ing his paradoxes, be expected him to be present at the wedding and to act as groomsman... "You are my oldest and best friend, Edmond," said he coat - !ugly, "and for these reasons you ought not to refuse my request." "And precisely for these reasons I must decline," tartly responded De Verneuil, "for I should feel as though I were assisting at your electrocution." "Then if you will not consent to act as best man," said Duvivier, with genuine disappointment, "premise at least to be present at the wedding." De Verneuil looked at him for a mo- ment without answering. He was real- ly fond of Louis Duvivier, and their friendship had been one of long stand- ing. He disliked to appear uncivil, so finally he said, "Well, perhaps, but do not count on my coming." "Decidedly!" exclaimed Duvivier, a little vexed. "You are still an antago- nist to matrimony." "Irrevocably," was the laconic an- swer of De Verneuil. "Then you never intend to marry?" asked Duvivier. "I should prefer to send a bullet through my brain," promptly answered De Verneuil. "Expeditious means are preferable to slow ones," he added em- phatically. "Then you propose to remain always in solitary bliss?" said Duvivier laugh- ingly. "Pardon me," said De Verneuil, stop- ping to fill his pipe, "you should say in- dependent bliss. From a wife, children and family may heaven preserve me! For a wife," he continued, waxing elo- quent, "means loss of liberty and the obligation of following her caprices in- stead of your own. You must go out when you desire to remain in and re- main in when you wish to go out. At table you must eat madame's dishes instead of those you prefer yourself, listen ;with an interested air to a lot of insipid gossip plentifully sprinkled with the latest hints in the fashions of bon- nets and hats and meekly receive re- proaches, recriminations and jealous suspicion. And children! Why, my dear Louis, the very sight of an infant brings on an attack of indigestion! And when they grow up, if they are boys, they devour your money by getting in- to all kinds of scrapes, and If they are girls_ they must be dowered before they can be got rid of. So, with Cyra- no, I say, 'No, thank you!' And then that ether delightful appendage of mat- rimony, as mother -In-law! Why, the very thought of her makes me shudder. Now you have in a nutshell, my deat boy, the wise reasons which prevent me. from committing the folly of mate!• mony. ,end with a deliciously self satis- fied air the sage, crusty bachelor sank Into the hollow of his easy chair and, puffins away at his pipe, wafted to hear what his friend had to say. But Duvivier remained silent, and the cheerful expression on his bright, handsome face clearly indicated that the sorrowful picture of matrimony painted by De Verneuil had failed to failure of his words and determined to and De Verneull started again make one more effort. Rising from his I chair, he stationed himself before the I mantelpiece and, half confidential half affectionately, begged Duvivier save himself while there was yet tim shut it, saying: 'Please remember, s that we are not in an English camp to selves, 1 am as jealous as a Moor, for it is not tb.

I would do the same for you, Edmond," pleaded De Ver- neuil earnestly, "pull you back while there is yet time from the troubled waters of matrimony." But Duvivier only shook his bead in answer as he announced gayly his coal- ing marriage to Mlle. Helene De- schamps on the 17th of May. "Helene -a name of ill omen!" growl- ed De Verneuil. with disgust. "Well, then, if you insist -go to the devil -or the hymeneal altar, which is one and the same thing." Edmond de Verneuil was fast gallop- ing out of his thirties, and the princi- ples which be had just laid down were those which bad governed his entire life and kept him a bachelor in spite of the tempting opportunities which bad come in his way and which he had repulsed with horror. A few years back he bad been considered one of the handsomest men in Paris, and even to- day his refined air and well groomed person made him a marked figure in bis drives through the Bois, which he took with clocklike precision. Rich, clever and well known in the fashiona- ble world, he had received innumera- ble hints from designing mammas and the sweetest seniles of encouragement from their eligible daughters. To the first he bad always been delightfully gracious, particularly when their ad- vances assumed the form of excellent dinners, but totally indifferent to the latter, scarcely deigning to notice their fresh young faces. With advancing years the dinners and smiles had ceas- ed, but De Verneull hardly felt their absence. Indeed he congratulated him- self with pride upon having escaped the many ambushes laid by these daughters of Eve to entrap him. Su- premely content in his bachelor bliss, he lived entirely alone in his elegant apartment, as free as a bird on the mountain tops, following his own sweet caprices, amusing himself with what pleased him and avoiding all that was irksome or tiresome. Shut up se- cure in his egotistical citadel, which he had built and fashioned with his own hands, be fancied himself the happiest of mortals in existence. One morning shortly after Duvivier's visit, as he sat at thewindow content- edly smoking his pipe, he was tempted by the inviting March sunshine to take a promenade along the boulevard, but the treacherous March sun bad deceiv- ed him, and before he bad gone very far he began to feel chilled beneath his light overcoat, while an unwelcome sneeze foretold a cold in the head. Like all egotists, Edmond de Verneuil was painfully careful of his health, so be immediately dropped into a cafe and ordered a smoking hot punch to ward off if possible the disastrous effects of the chilly air. While be sat languidly sipping his drink his eyes rested on a highly colored plaeard on the opposite wall representing a series of enchant- ing views on the Mediterranean and under them this inscription: TO THE BLUE COAST. Express tmins to Cannes, Nice and Mona.. The Journey made in 17 hours. The blue sky, the blue sea, the warm southern sunshine, the gorgeous flow- ers of Nice and the perfume of the or- ange trees all appealed to De Ver- neull's 'esthetic fancy. "There, at least," he thought, "I shall be safe from inflnenza." And immediately he made up his mind to go to Nice. That very night his trunks and valises were packed and strapped by his trust- worthy valet, Pierre,. and the next morning Edmond de Verneuil strutted about nervously in a luxurious com- partment of the Nice express after hav- ing selfishly strewn his hand baggage over the unoccupied seats in the hope of securing the entire compartment to himself. But complete happiness does not be- long to this mundane sphere, and in the twinkling of an eye De Verneuil's hopes of solitude were shattered by the arrival of a phlegmatic Englishman who, without asking any questions and with that impassible air which distin- guishes the traveling Briton, deliber- ately removed the valises and installed himself in their place. The Parisian was tempted to protest, but a moment's reflection convinced him that this was bad policy, for he had no right to re- serve the entire compartment for his own use. So the crusty bachelor con- tented himself by an inaudible growl. Hardly had he recovered from his first disappointment. however, when the compartment was again invaded by a handsomely gowned elderly lady with a sweet, high bred, patrician face, ac- companied by a younger woman, whose pale gray traveling gown set off to ad- vantage her wealth of blond hair, fair complexion and sympathetic blue eyes and holding by the hand a delicate boy of le A glance at the child immediately told De Verneull that the little fellow was ill and probably going south in search of health, and while the two women placed him tenderly on the cushions and tucked the light, warm Roman blanket around him De Ver- neuii growled again to himself. "A charming voyage I shall have," thought he, "with a 'phlegmatic Eng - Beaman and a sick child!" And in disgust he left the compartment -aim went in search of another. But he soon returned in a worse humor, for the compartments were all filled. When the train started, the disgruntled bach- elor threw open the window to let in the freah March air. But the pretty woman ia gray, in her low, sweet Eng- lish voice, begged monsieur to close it, as she feared the air wes too strong for her little boy, and De Verneuil, with the politeness of a true chevalier, complied with her request. No sooner, however, had he done so than the Englishman, who sat at the pposite end, opened the window near m. The two women looked Implor- egly at their countryman, who pre- nded not to see them. De Verneuil, ore to annoy the tmveling Briton an to be agreeable to the ladies, de - hi te th 11 Impress him. The_ /aye! noted the E sick child, so I hope you will allow t window to remain closed." The little speech produced its effe though the gentleman from across -t channel did not reply, but conten himself with opening very wide h eyes in amazement that a Frenchm should presume to give an Englishm a lesson in civility. The ladies of cou were deeply grateful and duly expree ed their thanks, and M. de Verneuil turned to his seat, experiencing a d lightful sensation which he rarely fe the pleasure of having rendered service to others -and as he resum his seat la the corner he began to stud the child, who during all the comm tion had remained quietly sieepin The study fascinated him, and be fa cled he had never before seen a bo quite so beautiful; the slltls, patricia be ! Wandering Wits". Coventry Patmore, the English poet, et, I was a somewhat inattentive and care - he les, driver and when his fits of reverie the came upon him would allow the horse is ; to follow its own equine will. One day an he took his wife for a drive, and they an went on and on until evening began to rse ' fall. Mr. Patmore, absorbed in his own s- thoughts, bad no idea of turning, nor re- could his wife arouse him to a sense of e- ; their situation. She spoke to him. He It did not answer. She shook him and a then, as a last resort, stopped the horse. ed This brought her husband to himself, y and he acknowledged that the region o - g• n - y n nose and mass of yellow hair resem- bled the fair young mother, who from time to time bent over him with an in- terested expression of suffering on her pure, sweet face, as the baby chest was shaken by a dry eough, which even in sleep did not desert him. De Verneuil felt that he was growing desperately interested in the boy, and as these thoughts flitted through his mind the child tossed one of bis Roman blankets on the floor, when he rushed forward, picked it up and tucked it around him. He was amazed at his own tenderness and began to wonder where it would eventually lead. The ladies again ex- pressed their appreciation in that soft, sweet English voice so much admired en the continent. At Dijon De Verneuil left the com- pertenent, and when he returned he brought with him a large box of bon- bons, which, with the mother's permis- sion, he offered to the child. The candy delighted the little fellow; he grew animated and tae color came again into his pale, emaciated little cheeks as he smiled with pleasure and fixed his great blue eyes on Edmond de Ver- neuil with that profound depth of ex- pression which children's eyes alone possess and which seems to hide a world of thought. The bonbons had opened the way for a conversation be- tween M. de Verneuil and tbe ladies. Naturally the child's health became the absorbing topic, and the interested bachelor learned that madame had lost her husband three years before and that some weeks previous to their jour- ney to France little Arthur had bad a severe attack of bronchitis, which up to date had defied the assidueus nurs- ing of his mamma and grandmother. Therefore he bad been ordered by his English doctor to spend the winter at Nice. "Aet Nice!" exclaimed De Verneuil, aalazed to find the pleasure which the coincidence gave him. "Why. 1 am going there myself," be said. Just then the train drew up in the Lyons depot. De Verneuil alighted and soon returned laden with picture books for his little chance acquaintance. Arthur was de- lighted with the colored prints and after looking Se them for some time sudden- ly threw his books on the floor and, jumping on De Verneuil's lap, put his slender little arms around his neck and kissed him. "Monsieur is good," he whispered, "and I love monsieur very much and want him to come and stay at the villa where we are going." This spontaneous outburst of affec- tion touched a strange chord in the bachelor's egotistical nature. "The boy really loves me," he said to him- self, and so, instead of going to a little hotel. as be usually did, he stopped at the same pretty villa as the Barring - tons, and every day the handsome Parisian and the pretty little Englisb boy. with his bland curls flying in the breeze, Spent hours together on the warn, sunny beach, and the bachelor was obliged to acknowledge, in spite of his prejudices, that be had never be- fore found Nice quite so pleasant. Though --he had not visited the casino, the theater or any places of amuse- ment, the days and weeks had flown by pleasantly and almost imperceptibly and with the mild air and warm south- ern sunshine his pretty protege, Arthur Barrington, had regained his health, and his little legs had grown strong and round. A romp was now the order of tbe day, and one morning as De Verneuil, Mrs. Barrington and Arthur sat in the pleasant sunshine on the vine covered veranda tae boy suddenly sprang up upon his shoukler, and his piping, child- like voice be ed m sieu t always with his mamma and grand- mother. De Verneuil, usually so self possessed, felt the color mounting to his face as he cast a furtive glance at Mrs. Barrington, who suddenly appeer- ed to be absorbed in her book. Then In the twinkling of an eye he ran down the garden path, closely followed by Arthur. That evening a quiet walk beneath the stars settled tbe entire affair to the satisfaction of all. The child had won and for this reason Edmond de Ver- neuil returned to Paris, in tile briiht month of May, aecompanied by a fiancee, a prospective son and a future mother-in-law. As an ardent lover he had few equals, and, the young widow yielding to his pleadings, the marriage was fixed for an early date. Of course he did not attend Duvivier's wedding, for the very excellent reason that he had to be present at his own, but the neat day he received from his friend Oa following note: my Dear re Vermil-My warmest eongratuls- , tam fig yew masterly stroke; but, latween our - was entirely unknown to him. A coun- tryman presently appeared, and they asked him the way to Heron's Ghyll. "I don't rightly know," said he, "but if you go on as you're going you'll be drownded." Indeed there proved to be a large pond but a few yards beyond the spot where they had stopped. This habit of inattentive driving be- came a fixed one and even impressed itself upon the mind of Mr. Patmore's little son. One day, after he had been his father's companion on such an ex- cursion, he sought Mrs. Patmore. "Mamma," said he. "Piphie would rather not be a poet when he's a man." "Why not?" asked Mrs. Patmore. "Because," said the child, "poets take so long to drive to Winchelsea." - Youth's Companion. Drought to Reason. He was out walking with a young lady who bad a decided antipathy to cigarettes. but not being aware of her prejudice he lighted one of the little rolls and began smoking with great gusto, inhaling the fumes deep tato his lungs and then blowing great rings up at the moon, which gazed tranquilly down on his folly. Offentltd by his presumption, she said, with dangerous urbanity: "Do you know, I can read fortunes in cigarette smoke?" "Indeed!" exclaimed tbe unsuspect- ing youth. "Perhaps you'll condescend to read mine." "Ole certainly, if you wish it" Then she gazed up in the air at the delicate blue wreaths of smoke. She hesitated, evidently puzzled about "I am undecided which of two things is to befall you," she admitted. "Your fortune is not so easily read as I fan - Med it would be." "What are the two things?" "Il'hy. I can't determine whether you nre marked out for the lung disease or lunacy." was the answer. "Cigarettes have such diverse effects on peopfe of your temperament," A moment later the cigarette lay glimmering it, the gutter, and the for- tune teller was listening to ber escorre embarrassed epologies. - Memphis She Knew the Day Well.

The lawyer, who thought another date could be proved, assumed an exas- perating smile and repeated her words. "You know it was? And now be so good as to tell us how you know it." The poor little creature looked from one countenance to another with wide, sorrowful eyes, as if ebe sought under- standing and sympathy; then her gaze rested on the kindly face of the judge.

The fruit service bas gained much in elegance by the introduction of the center platter and round side dishes. In Austrian glass, gold decorated, the three pieces form a set or are sold singly. The platter Is with end handles and tiny ball feet. Side dishes of the fruit set are round, star cut and Nth decoration to match the platter. They are without stand- ards and rest flat on the cloth.

Military Men Can Now Make °bier-. rations Withoet Danger. The ordinary telescope and sp:glass which military offieers have used for more than 100 years is gradually giv- ing place to an Instrument far more powerful awl. less likely to expose an observer to the long distance fire of an enemy, says The Scientific American. The Met of dead and wounded sent horoe from South Africa shows that the modern high power nragazine rifle has rendered the lot of the command- ing officer far more hazardous than it once was. This increased danger and the great ranges at which modern.bat- tles are fought have been the chief rea- sons why the ordinary spyglass has been found inadequate by the modern army officer. The new instrument consists of tsvo tubes hinged together and earried by a Central handle. Each tube is provided with an objective and with an eye- piece. By means of a system of total reflection prisms the image formed by the objective is so deflected that the eyepiece, mounted at right angles to the tubes, may properly present it to the eye. When the instrument is open, the dis- tance between the two objectives is about 16 inches. The lenses and tubes are so arranged that a stereoseopic'efr feet is obtained. In order to make use of the stereo- scopic spyglass the eyepieces are first purposely focused. Since in the major- ity of cases both eyes of the same per- son are not equal, the tFo eyepieces are focused independently. The instill- ments are regulated for a 2.6 inch spac- ing of the eyes, which is.the average.

For persons having eyes differently spaced there is a very simple mechan- ism for regulating the apparatus. A marking arrangement permits of mak- ing such regulations once for all. The stereoscopic spyglass may be em- ployed In two different positions of the telescopes, one nearly horizontal and the other nearly vertical. It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the utility of the instrument from a military point of view. From a very Interesting report made by Lieutenant Colonel Becker of the Swiss army We oelect the following passage: "With a Common ordnanceilebiglass we (Amery-, ed at a distance of about two miles a trigonometric signal situated at the same height as ourselves and on the verge of a forest. It was impossible to recognize whether this signal was upon the very outskirts of the forest or re- mote therefrom.

"Probably the most perfect spott system achieved by any private co poratiou," says S. H. Adams in Ain lee's, "is that of one of the big east railroads, which is to some este modeled on the_ secret service syste of some of the eastern government though by no means so complex. "So farreaehiag and so direct, ho ever, are its lines of contmunicatio that the president of the organizil410 is himself kept constantly inform of the trend of affairs and the change of sentiment among the employees o every division and subdivision of th whole railway system. and that wit out the knowledge of spy other person but his own special corps of clerk and secretaries. "Nobody but himself knows the e tire personnel of the wonderful servic that ha has perfected. His agents ar drawn from every branch of the road' operating staff. They are engin freight brakemen, passenger trainmen ponduetors, signalmen, yardmen, sta tion agents, track R-alkers and eve division _officials. Should that roa have a strike—and strikes are far les likely to occur than they were befo the present system was put into 0 eration—the president will have de tailed warnings of it from all th storm centers long before the first mut terings find cautious utterance in th newspapers. "While it also acts as a defen against thefts by employees,. this sys tens is Intended primarily 'to prepare so to speak. a diary of the disposition character, working efficiency and sentI ments toward the road of the men wit constitute the vast human utachinery of the corpo.ation. The feeling whit culminates in a general strike is no the result of one act alone, but a slow growth made up of' many grievances real or fancied. 'To keep track of the shifting mental attitude of his employees_ is the airs of this railroad president. If a certain division superintendent has made him- self unpopular with his subordinates, information to that effect comes `by underground wire' to the central office, and the matter is taken under advise- ment.' If the newest fireman on the road attempts to stir up discontent by intiamniatory_ talk, his views -soon reach the official ear. Every leading spirit in the employees' organization is known to the president, who also knows whether, in case of trouble, the man is to be reckoned upon as a con- servative or a radical. "Sometimes this works out the man's career in a tnanner quite incomprehen- • sible to hien. For instance. Night Watchman Brown is shifted without cause that he can fathom from one di- vision to another. How should he know that t-uniors of trouble in that di- vision have reached the presidential ear and that he himself. being down in the president's nitre book as a speaker of weight and a 'counselor of conserva- tive methods. has been shifted over to act as uueousr ons agent in checking a dangerous ten 'cncy "Some of the, admiring coworkers of the head cit rifle system declare that in two tui';:r!+`< reference to his collected funds of information he can unroll the fanlil hig.to:y of the woman who washes the windows of car No. 41144X and tell whether. in her estimation, he himself is an oppressor of the down- trodden or a perfect gentleman. "Where so many invisible lines radi- ate from the same office it is inevitable that some of them should cross. Curi- ous complications result from contact between spotters as unknown to each other as they are to those whom they watch. "Several years age at a time of gen- eral labor troubles a certain railroad got no Tess than ave reports from its confidential men informing them that an employee who was several degrees higher in the secret service of the road than any of them. had they but known it, had been making incendiary speech- es. "This was true. Matters had so shaped themselves that the man ac- cused .had to appear as a radical in or- der to gain admittance to inner coun- cils where the important questions would be finally decided. To the cha- grin of the authorities they were oblig- ed to transfer him. Had they not done so the suspicions of the men who make the reports would have been aroused. That spotters should know each other as such is held. to be highly undesira- ble. There le always the chance that they might work in conjunction instead of acting as checks on each other."

It comes natural to every woman to pity a child when it hurts itself. Be the misadventure big or little, the mother immediately takes the little one in her arms and in her most symps- thetic, pitying tones tries to solace it. And of course the child concludes something terrible has happened to it and cries vigorously. A little baby if pitied can soon be brought to a weep- ing state when nothing whatever is the matter with it. .Just call up your most tender, sympathetic tone; ask him that time honored question, "Did they boos the baby?" and the little lips will begin to quiver, the mouth to droop, and soon a wail breaks forth that is meant to in- dicate that "they" did. Of coarse children will cry some- times. Crying is an institution that cannot be done away with. Crying, more or less. is expected with the advent of the little stranger, but the more or less depends largely on the parents. A child can be laughed into a good hu- mcr. Instead of pitying him at the nu- merous little hurts he gets, those that , are really of no importance, treat them as a good joke. Laugh at them, and the baby will quickly laugh with you. It doesn't take long to chase the tears away. .Besides doing away with a lot of unnecessary crying it teaches him not to mind little hurts and devel- ops a brave, manly little fellow. This does not apply to serious mishaps, but to those numerous little bumps which youngsters are continually getting and which a little pity quickly magnifies into something of importance in child- ish eyes. Never giving a child anything he cries for Is another excellent way to nip in the bud the crying habit. If it is proper for him to have, promise it to him when he stops crying. Reward his good behavior, not his bad. Of course if bad habits in this direction are form- ed, it is hard to correct them. But such discipline observed from the beginning will make crying an infrequent per- formance in the home where the youth- ful monarch reigns. -1 hiladelphia Tele graph. THE TITLE REILLY TOOK. He Made Himself as Big a Man as the Best of Them. "When you meution the name of John Reilly,, you touch a reminiscent chord in the hearts of hundreds of the older residents of Baltimore," "remark- ed a well known gentleman. "On one occasion Reilly had to jour- ney to Philadelphia on business. It was in the time of the old stagecoaches, and be made his. way leisurely along. Upon arriving .there he registered at one of the leading hotels. That leads up to my story. At that time it was custom- ary for men to add to their signatures such titles or evidences of dignity as they possesses'. When Reilly looked over the hotel register, he saw some- thing like this: 'John Jones, LL. D.; William Smith, A. M., A. B.; Samuel Johnson, D. D.' Seizing a pen, he in- scribed the following: 'John Reilly, F. R. S.' Then he went about his busi- ness and spent a pleasaut and profita- ble afternoon. "Returning to the hotel at night, he was met by a committee of leading and learned citizens. They greeted him with great deferenceand expressed their gratification that such a distinguished man should be in their midst. He was urgently requested to deliver a lecture before some scientific body during his stay. You see. they judged from the mystic letters on the hotel register that he was a fellow of the Royal society. "Reilly was a man of imposing per- sonal appearance. He made himself very agreeable to the committee, but could not name a date for the lecture. When they left him, a friend asked the reason of the demonstration. " `What do you mean by writing the letters F. R. S. after your name, any way?' " `They mean "fried, raw and stew- ed," and I serve the best in Balti- more.' "—Baltimore Sun. The Germ of an Invention. The late General George 11. McClel- lan, U. S. A., is credited with having made the statement many years ago that the sinking of clams into the sand along the ocean shore by closing their shells an:I ejecting the water from them in a thin stream first suggested to him the use of the water jet as an aid in sinking piles in sand. At any rate as long ago as 1852 a water jet was so used by General McClellan's ad- vice in putting down piles for a wharf and warehouse. Water was forced through an ordinary rubber hose, with a piece of gas pipe on the end for a nozzle. This was placed close to the point of the pile on the bottom, the jet of water scouring the sand away from the pile and making a hole, in which the pile sank rapidly.—Cassier's Maga- zine. Sensitive Tobacco Plants. In Cuba the best tobaccc comes frelfl one strip of land only, the slopes of a certain river, and even there a north wind may ruin the crop. Tobacco is the most sensitive plant we know of. The smallest thing affects its flavor. Plant Virginia tobacco in Germany and the result is a better tobacco, but It is German tobacco, not Virginian. In north Borneo they produce the most delicate and silky leaves that ever were seen, but the tobacco lacks char- acter and taste. Send Havana seeds to the Philippines, and you merely pro- duce a superior Manila.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The achievements of the past century have been magnificent. The march of progress has been swift, and the tri- umphs of civilization have been mani- fold. The age of enlightenment is in- deed here. Mankind has progressed in the culture of the finer side of exist - epee and has turned to its uses the mysterious forces of the elements in a manner undreamed of but a few centu- ties ago. Yet who can foretell what the Twen- tieth century has to unfold? Who would dare to predict what the achievements of another hundred years may be? Standing on the threshold of this era, we look into the past, and In the grand picture of progress to be pre- sented in the beautiful buildings and the confidence existing In the ability of the managemetlt to open the gates on May 1 upon a completed and per- fectly embellished,ereation is justified. The financial prospects of the Expo- sition are all that could be desired. The advertising it has received is al- ready bringing forth fruit, and an un- precedentedly large attendance is now as certain as anything can be whicb belongs to the future. I Seen from the distance of three- ; quarters of a mils away the Exposi- tion grounds present the appearance of a grand and beautiful city, and when all is complete and winter's frost has given place to the sunlight and warmth I of summer the charm of the scene will be such that the impression given will last a lifetime.

It will NORTHWEST VIEW FROM THE 01I10 BUILDING. comprehensive exhibits of the Pau - American Exposition we see a record in graphic form of what mankind has accomplished upon this hemisphere during the 100 years now completed. With vision sharpened we look for- ward with prophetic eye into the mys- teries of the suture and get, in imagi- nation at least, a glimpse of what the next century is to bring forth. Can It be possible that the Twentieth century will see an advance in material and intellectual things as great rela- tively to that of other centuries as the Nineteenth century has witnessed? It scarcely seems within the bounds of possibility, and yet who can say wheth- er even more wonderful discoveries and even more valuable applications of our present knowledge than the past century has given us do not await us in the one now just begun? The Nine- teenth century saw the revolution in methods of travel on land and sea caused by the invention of the steam engine; It saw the invention of the tele- graph and telephone and electric Light; it witnessed the application of electric power to urban transportation methods and to the operation of the wheels of industry generally; it produced great improvements in the fields of medicine and surgery and of education; It gave ns inventions in the way of machinery which have completely revolutionized industry and shortened the hours of labor for the manual workers of the civilized world and particularly of this hemisphere. To go on and enumerate in detail the features of Nineteenth century progress would require more space than is at my command. But it wi:l not do to forget that great as this progress has been and proud as we have a right to be of it there are tre- mendous problems of a social and po- litical character yet to be solved. Their settlement during the next century will do much to alleviate the misery yet ex- isting in the world and render happier the millions who will be born, live and die during the next hundred years. It should not be forgotten that many branches of science are yet to their in- fancy. We have only begun to under- stand the mysterious force of electrici- ty, and we have not yet succeeded in navigating the air. There are yet many worlds to be conquered by the daring, the inventive and the pioneers of hu- man progress in the, forthcoming cen- tury. That the pulse of mankind will be quickened by the great Exposition of all the Americas so soon to be held there Is no room for doubt. No more appropriate time could be chosen for such an Exposition upon the American continent. No more appro- priate place than Buffalo and the Ni- agara frontier could be selected, for it is at this spot, where the cataract of Niagara bas been harnessed and sci- ence and industry have combined to concentrate all the energies and activi- ties characteristic of the time, that the most fitting assemblage can be made of the things which portray most ef- fectively this progress. Never before in the history of expo- sitions 1n either the New World or the Old bas such remarkable work of a constructive character been done. Never before did six months shov0 such a wonderful change in the appearance of tract of land as has been worked, without the aid of magic, in the 850 acres which comprise the site of the Pan-American Exposition. Now that the principal buildings are practically constructed and the whole great enterpriser has been thus tar run on schedule time it can be seen that include the hest of former exhibits and will in addition heve novelties neves before shown. The heavy ordnance will be mounted outside the Govern- ment building. This branch of the ex- hibit will include the 11 inch gun, with disappearing carriage, so arranged that neither the man nor the gun Is exposed except during the moment of firing, the recoil throwing it into its original posi- tion. Then, too, there will be shown the 16 inch seacoast rifle manufac- tured at the Watervliet arsenal, the most powerful piece of ordnance ever 'constructed in the United States, hav- ing a maximum range of 20t/z miles. It will be the greatest display of heavy ordnance ever made, yet this is only one of the numerous features of the Government Ordnance Exhibit for the Exposition. Another exhibit of ordnance will be made by ma, ufacturers, but in a dif- ferent part of the grounds. It will be very large. as all the makers will nat- urally want to make as good a show- ing as possible. Here a considerable number of important inventions not yet accepted by any government, but which may figure conspicuously in the possible defenses of the future, will be shown. There will be great guns and small guns and guns of all kinds and their accessories at the Pan-American Exposition. To many visitors this will be one of the most attractive features of the big show. The study of weap- ons with which the great powers wage war is ever an interesting one, and the many wonderful discoveries and inven- tions in this line during the past few years have a tendency very naturally to accentuate the interest. That the fullest opportunity to satisfy curiosity in this direction will be given at this Exposition is assured. FOOD PRODUCTION. Possibilities In Pan -America to Be Staown at Ezposition.

THE CENSUS OF 1790. United States Population Then Was Less Than 4,000,000. When the first census of the United States was taken In 1790, there were 16 states and the southwest and north- Fest territories, The returns fixed the population at 8,929,214, while those of 1900 give over 76,000,000, a fourteen - fold growth in 110 years. In the first census nothing was sought but the number of inhabitants, and the task was assigned to United States marshals, who performed the work for several censuses. In the cen- sus library is a record of the first cen- sus, which shows that the census of 1790 was ordered in March and com- pleted by October, 1791, a very credita- ble showing when the difficulty of com- munication is considered. The popula- tion was divided into five classes—free white males of 16 years and upward, including heads of families; free white females, including heads of families; free white males under 16 years, other persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration districts were mapped out of the 16 states and the population of the towns, counties and states given. All of the states except Maine and Massachusetts had slaves. Virginia led with a popu- lation of 747,610 whites and 292,000 slaves. North Carolina was second, with 393.751 whites and 100,000 slaves. Maryland had a population of 422,756, of which 103,036 were slaves. The slave population of the northern states Is given as follows: New Hampshire, 158; Rhode Island, 948; Connecticut. 2,764; New York, 21,- 324; New ,Jersey, 11,423; Pennsylvania, 3,237; Delaware, 8,887; Vermont, 16. The population of the southwest ter- ritory was 35,691 whites and 3,417 slaves. The record is full of errors in calcula- tion and addition, but is interesting in showing how the population has in- creased -anti how the art of census tak- ing has developed with the population. —Baltimore Sun. A BOY AND A RIFLE. And the Trick the Father Played to Make the Youngster Careful. Exact statistics on the subject are lacking, but it is certain that the man who "didn't know it was loaded" kills and maims annually a great malty per- sons. The only safe rule with a gun is never under any circumstances to point It at anybody. One should al- ways act on the assumption that it is loaded. Unfortunately, though, an aver- age human being learns only by ex- perience. and 11717102, a gun is concerned that often entails an awful price. Bearing this lu mind a veterai sportsman of this city adopted a unique method of impressing this les- son on his son. This is how he told the story: "I want my son to be a sportsman, so that when he gets to be as old as his father be may have as many pleasant memories to look back to. Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday I gave him a rifle. And instead of read- ing him a long lecture on the necessity of handling the weapon carefully, I put up a job on him that would be far more effective. After he had spent a couple of hours fcadLng it and cleaning it and examining the mechanism, after the manner of healthy boys, I contriv- eu unknown to slim to slip a blank cartridge into the breach. "Then i called him out into the yard and holding my hat in front of me, ask- ed him to show me how he would take aim at it. There was an explosion, and be fell in a dead faint. You may think it mean of me, but I allowed him to think that only the badness of his aim or some Intervention of Providence saved me from death. The lesson he learned will last him through life, be cause a terrible fright accompanied it. Solite day when he gets old enough to have a boy of his own, I shall tell him of the trick I played on him."—New York Herald. So It Was. "Mamma, come quick! The catsup on the shelf." - "Drat that cat! I'll make fiddle strings of her in no time if I lay my hands on her! She's forever into some- thing," and the enraged materfamilias vigorously pounded her way into the pantry: "Where is she, Tommy? I don't see her." "See who?" "Why, you said the cat was on the shelf." . "I never said there was a cat on the shelf." - "Yes, you did. You said, 'The's cat's up on the shelf.' " "So I did, and I say it yet. The cat- sup on the shelf right before your eyes. Don't you see it? There in that old wine bottle," and he quietly but very swiftly dodged out into the kitchen.— Pearson's Weekly.

UNCLE SAM'S SPOTTERS. Espeelally the Man In Europe Who Looks Out For Smugglers. "Uncle Sam's large and well organ- ized secret service," says S. H. Adams in Alnslee's, "is made up mostly of men who come properly under the head of detectives with police powers, but it has its class of bonaetide spot- ters, whose entire duty it is to ingrati- ate themselves with persons suspected of having designs to evade the custom house dirties and to warn the baggage Inspectors at this end of the impend- ing swindle. "In cleverness, address and adapta-! bility the secret service spotter is easi- I ly at the head of his profession and' even ranks with the trained experts of the European diplomatic corps. It is essential that he should be a man of the world, for he must associate with all kinds of people on equal terms. He has no fixed abode, but lives in va- rious European capitals when he is not on shipboard, where he is much of the time. Ile must never let himself be in the slightest degree suspected. "There is always a number of these agents in Paris, because of the great American trade there. The live at the fashionable hotels and live the life apparently of flaneurs and boulevar- diers. In all lines of trade that concern dutiable goods they are experts, and no large purchase by an American in Paris is unknown to them. Their cir- cle of acquaintance is enormous, but nobody knows them for what they are. In one way or another they contrive to make the acquaintance of any per- son whom they suspect and unostenta- tiously but unremittingly trail him. "Many a time some man who has made a heavy purchase of diamonds or laces and so disposed them that be felt sure of being able to get them through the port undiscovered has been passed on the dock by a chance acquaintance of the voyage over who. unseen, presses a little note into the hand of the customs inspector. That ao+o +otts nil - that the wily smuggler would wish to keep secret, u,..s z:� baggage is mercilessly ransacked until the hidden articles are brought to light. He has been followed over by the spotter. Men employed in this line get good pay—as high as $10 a day— but it costs them much to live in the manner in which they must main- tain themselves." Allowed Plenty of Time. Speaking of the late William Travers leads me to remark that, so far as I am personally aware, only one of the classic stuttering stories about him is actually true. I had the honor and happiness to resida at Newport for a year or so once, and at the time Mr. Travers was a summer resident there. He certainly stuttered a good deal, but he did not go around habitually dis- charging staccato witticisms at the world, as you might suppose he did from all the stories you hear. But the one story that I know about is tffts one: Travers was at a garden party one afternoon when a young lady said to him, "What time is it, please, Mr. Travers?" Travers took out his watch, wabbled his mouth awhile, blinked and finally said, "It'll be s -s -s -s -six o'c-c-c-c-clock by the time I can say it!" It really lacked five minutes of 6 when he began.—Boston Transcript. Sunny Rooms. It is said to be true that in all hospi- tals those rooms facing the sun have fewer deaths, other things being equal, than those which are on the shady side of the house. Likewise statistics, where they have been kept, prove that the av- erage time for a recovery is much less in a sunny room than in a shady one. From these facts and from the fact that the tendency toward illness has proved greater on the shady side of buildings, like prisons and asylums, it follows that light is second only in im- portance to fresh air. A dark room is nearly but not quite so bad as a close room. In the case of sickness the sick- room should be the sunniest one the house affords. Egotistic. "Isn't there a great deal of egotism among actors?" asked the young wom- an. "I am sorry to say there is," answer- ed Stormington Barnes. "Why, I have met no less than three actors who thought they could play Hamlet as • well as I do!"—Washington Star. Our Wonderful House. The framework of the house in which we live is made up of 206 bones. j To perform the usual movements in our daily life these 206 bones are acted upon by 522 voluntary muscles. Santa castle is unknown in Spain. The three Magi are supposed to be the Waiting For His Turn. "Speaking of drinking as a cause for headaches," said an old practitioner, "reminds me of a trip I took several years ago with a specialtrain full of western physicians going to the annual meeting of the American Medical as- sociation in Philadelphia. "On such occasions as this, with perhaps 150 physicians congregated in a special train, a good many manufac- turers of wines, liquors and carbonated waters are anxious for the opportunity of putting, bottled goods on ice, with a representative in charge to see that samples are dispensed at just the right temperature. "On this particular occasion I remem- ber that one firm dealing in mineral waters had an especially competent ageut ou board the train. Dinner was just over in the dining car, tables had been put up in nearly every section of the sleepers and champagne corks were popping. Redder liquors were on all sides, and the rattle of cracked ice was nearly as loud as the clicking of the trucks. "It was just at this juncture that this especial agent for the mineral wa- ters made his hit. IIe recognized that it -was it his deal, and he started through the train, beginning at the rear end of the baggage car. With a profound bow to all present he said: " `Good night, gentlemen, good night, but I'll see you in the morning!' "He went through the train with that, staking the hit of the whole trip. My greatest wonder at it, too, bas been that it has not been seized upon as an illustrated advertisement for his house."—Chicago Tribune. His Only Real Pleasure. "What good does your money do you, Mr. Armour?" a friend once asked P. D. Armour, according to the Washing- ton Star. "That is a question," Mr. Armour re- plied, "I often ask myself. I was rais- ed a butcher boy. I learned to love work for work's sake. I must get up early now, as I have done all my life, and when 9 o'clock comes, no matter what's going on at home, I must get to bed. And here I am. Yes; I have large means, as you say, but I can't eat as much as yonder clerk, I can't sleep as much, and I can hardly wear any more clothes titan he. The only real pleasure I can get out of life that yon- der clerk with his limited means can- not get is the giving now and then to some deserving; fellow without a soul knowing it $500 or $1,000, giving him a fresh start upward without making the gift a hurt to him. That's the only real pleasure 1 get out of life. And as to possessions, the only thing I sometime,a, feel I really own are my two boys and my good name. Take everything else from me, leave me them, and I s ould yet be rich. I wouldn't care a snap for the rest. We would soon together make enough to keep the wolf a long way from our door." Free to Speak His Old Dr. X. never enjoyed the reputa- tion of being a religious man. In fact, his belief in the sincerity of things spiritual, as expressed by the world at large, was usually summed up by the words poppycock, folderol and the like, uttered in a contemptuous snort. Meeting tine day a minister of the vi- cinity in which he lived, be was re- minded of the fact that the minister bad but lately inherited, through the death of a relative, a considerable sum of money. "Mr. D.," he said. addressing the gentleman in 'question, "I understand that you have acquired quite a consid erable fortune from the dear departed. your uncle." "From my cousin, Dr. N.," corrected Mr. D., a trifle disconcerted. "Then I am to understand that you are no longer dependent upon the char- ity of your congregation for support?" continued the doctor. Mr. D. bowed stiffly in acknowledg- ment. "Then, Mr. D.," whispered the old man eagerly, "give 'em hades!"—New York Mail and Express. The Squeaking Shoe No More. "Squeaking shoes," said a dealer, "are no more, though of course you haven't noticed it. Stop a minute, though, and think. Isn't It true that for years you haven't come across a squeaking shoe? The thing that caused the trouble was a loose piece of leather in the sole. This, as you walked, work- ed somewhat like a bellows or an ac- cordion, and great was the sound there- of. All shoes are now sewed—many of them used to be pegged—and sewing does away with any loose pieces of leather in the sole and, therefore, with the squeak as well. I don't believe that if you searched a week you would be able to find a squeaking shoe in Philadelphia."—Philadelphia Press. No Venture About It, "Is this your first venture in matri- mony?" the preacher asked while the bridegroom was out in the vestibule giving certain instructions to the best man, who was also his head clerk.

He reg- istered early after supper, but did not go to his room right off. About 9 o'clock, his usual bedtime, he remark- ed to the clerk that he believed he would "remain." "All right," said the obliging man behind the counter. The big clock ticked off another hour, and the old man addressed the clerk again: "I say I believe I'll remain." "You have my permission, sir." When the hands on the dial pointed to 11, the old 'fellow, who was so sleepy he hardly knew where he was "at," called out in a half angry voice: "By the eternal, I say I believe I'll remain!" Again the clerk assured him of bis permission, but the situation was be- coming critical, and something bad to be done. "When you are ready to retire," said the clerk, "you can get your key at this desk." "Retire," said the exasperated guest.

One admirer of these coins speaks of their color as a "beautiful paleness" and ex- presses regret that it is lacking in later coins.- The explanation of it; is very simple. The alloy that entered into the French gold coins of those days con- tained as much silver as copper, and it was the silver that gave the coins their interesting paleness. The coins of the era of Napoleon III were more golden in hue. The silver had been taken out of the alloy. The gold coins of today have a still warmer and deeper tinge of yellow. This is because the Paris mint, as well as that in London, melts the gold and the copper alloy in nermetteally sealed boxes, whieh prevents the copper from being somewhat bleached, as it always Is when it is attacked by hot air. So the present coins have the full wartn- ness of tint that a copper alloy can give. If the coins of today are not so hand- some in the opinion of amateur collect- ors as those issued by the first Napo- leon, they are superior to those of ei- ther of the Napoleons in the fact that it costs less to make them. The double operation of the oxidation of the copper and cleaning it off the surface of the coin with reads is no longer employed, and the large elimination of copperoorPortnnity, cities there frothe surface of the coins, formerly stood long ago a stat erthe old Geek Every trace of practiced, made them less resistant un- it bas vanished now.

The epigram is in the form of a conversation be- tween a traveler and the statue: "What is thy name, 0 statue?" "I am called Opportunity." "Who made thee?" "Lysippus." "Why art thou on thy toes?" "To show that I stay but a moment." "Why hast thou wings i,:, :by feet?" "To show how quickly I pass by." "But why is thy hair so long on thy forehead?" "That men may seize me when they meet me."

In April, 1775, from the balcony of his lodgings at Orleans, Jekyll saw a criminal bro- ken on the wheel.

Bogged. While traveling in Cornwall in 1891 Rev. S. Baring -Gould came near being overwhelmed in a bog. He and his com panlous got lost and at dusk found themselves in a bog called Redmire. Six bullocks had already been lost there that year. Mr. Baring -Gourd's ad• venture is related in hes "Book of the West." "All at once I sank above my waist and was being sucked farther down. I cried to my companion, but in the dark- ness he could not see me, and had he seen me he could have done nothing for me. The water finally reached my armpits. "Happily I had a stout bamboo some six feet long, and I placed this athwart the surface and held it with my arms as far expanded as possible. By jerks I succeeded in gradually lifting myself and throwing my body forward till finally I was able to cast myself at full length on the surface. The suction had been so great as to tear my leather gaiters off my legs. "I lar at full length gasping for near- ly a quarter of an hour before I had breath and strength to advance, and then wormed myself along on my breast till I reached dry land. My com- panion, it turned out, had had a similar experience." No Keys t1White House. In these modern days the front door of the White House Is not locked at night.

I just listened, though I can't say there woos much to listen to. The talk ran like this: "'I 'ear as Ted Robinson got the sack last week,' remarked a villager. "'Ted Robinson?' said the other vil- lager, deliberately puffing smoke. "'Yuss; I 'ear so. Ted Robinson got the sack las' week.' "A pause, More smoke. "'Got the sack, eh?' "'Yuss; I 'ear as 'ow 'e did.' "A longer pause. "'Las' week, was it, 'e got the sack?' "'I 'ear as 'ow it was las' week,' "A long, long pause. "'Ah! I 'eard that a Friday.' "And," continued the Yankee, "not a soul among 'em smiled. It was their reg'lar mental diet. Oh, yes, smart men the English are and no mistake." Chinese Criticism of Our Alphabet. The high class Chinaman, speaking through his interpreter, was giving the eminent American visitor his impres- sions of the English language. "I cannot understand," he said, "how anybody ever finds time to learn it. Take that singularly formed letter in your alphabet, for instance, the letter 'g.' What an awkward and ill shaped character it is! What is the signifi- cance of that little curling projection at the upper end of it? I have never seen anybody who could tell me. Then, again, when the learner has familiar- ized himself with that letter and can recognize it at sight he learns that it is only a part of a word and that it enters into the composition of thousands of words. It has different pronunciations pnd sometimes is not pronounced at all, being entirely silent. Now, when you see one of our Chinese characters you know at once what It is. It Is a won- der to me that your people do not dis- card the cumbersome forms of your written language and learn our simpler and more easily understood system," The eminent American could only bow his head in humiliation and prom- ise to bring the matter before the edu- cational authorities of his native land. —Chicago Tribune. Too Much For the Cab. One of the wealthiest wine mer- chants in Paris and also one of its stoutest citizens was the hero of an epi- sode which caused much laughter in the Rue Princesse. M. R., the corpulent man, hailed a cab, which came alongside the curb. He opened the door and, getting a pur- chase on the railing of "cabby's" seat, tried to hoist himself in. But his weight was too much for the vehicle, which careened over and, as the sidewalk is very narrow, crashed into a window of a printing office. M. R. had meanwhile collapsed on the ground, and "cabby" by a miracle clung to his uncertain perch. Thea followed a stormy period. The printer came out and wanted to have the price of his broken window, the fat man tried to get the cabby to drive him away, and cabby refused to take any such load on board. Finally all parties adjourned to the police station, where the difficulty was straightened out, and M. R. set to work looking for another cab.—Paris Temps. Shrinking. Once upon a time there was a Bath- ing Suit which was much reprehended in that it was not modest. There was likewise at this same time also a Violet whose modesty was a matter of universal comment "What is your system," asked the Bathing Suit, accosting the Violet, "for I would fain be thought modest too?" "Why, I shrink," quoth the Violet, meaning no harm. But when the Bathing Suit shrunk in pursuance of this hint it was only rep- rehended the more and was finally cast away as being quite impossible.—De- troit Journal. To Rest Her Mind. "Your little birdie bas been very, very ill," she wrote to the young man. "It was some sort of nervous trouble, and the doctors said I must have per- fect rest and quiet and that I must think of nothing. And all the time, dear George, I thought constantly of you," The young man read It over and then read it through again very slowly and put it in his pocket and went out un- der the silent stars and kept thinking and thinking and thinking. He only kept on thinking.—London Answers. Hotels and Trained Nurses. Trained nurses are not welcome guests in New York hotels, and in fact In many they are expressly forbiddefi to appear In the dining rooms in their Ilniforms. The hotel keepers object to their presence in their working dresses because any indication of the existence of disease In a hotel is disadvanta- geous. Under these circumstances they are compelled to go through as much preliminary labor before they go to meals as If they had been invited under formal circumstances. Yet the wisdom of the rule on the part of the hotel pro- prietors is admitted, as in some of the large hotels up town occupied chiefly by families there are frequently 10 or 12 trained nurses employed. The sight of so many would not be reassuring to guests.—New York Sun. What Waathe Use! Mother—Goodness, how did you hurt your finger so? Little Son—With a hammer. "When?" "A good while ago."

Much of Little. e The stranger in any city half a hun- dred years old, if he knew nothing of the city's history, would learn from many of the signs that the second and third generations had succeeded to the business of father and grandfather- It is especially true of New York. The New York Tribune mentions some pe- culiar signs and relates the following: A Londoner who had strolled about the streets of the city with a New Yorker who called his attention to some of the signs of sons agreed that in this respect New York was very like London, but in neither city was there any such sign as he saw in one of the old English towns a few hours' run from the world's metropolis. The sign reads, "John Littlejohn's Sons & Little (Little Littlejohn, Doolittle Littlejohn & John Little). According to the Londoner the first Littlejohn and Little were partners. The former gave bis first son his part- ner's family name, and Little gave his boy his partner's Christian name. Lit- tiejohn's second son was named for his mother's family, Doolittle. The three sons succeeded to their fathers' busi- ness; hence the sign is entirely correct, and the Londoner was right in saying that the successors bad no intention of being "funny" when they had their sign written as it appears. Dangerous Economy. A paragraph about an economical merchant in Broadway saving the backs of old envelopes for scratch pa- per reminds an old friend of this story: A New York dealer, who left about $2,000,000, for a long time kept up the practice of tearing off the fly sheets of the numerous foolscap letters he received and sticking them on a spindle for scribbling purposes. Envelopes were not yet In use. A lawsuit arose, and the merchant thought he had won his case when defendant's letter, duly signed, was produced. Counsel for defendant examined the letter and, turning it over to look 'for the super- scription, found that it was missing. He immediately saw his advantage and said: "Tbis letter is incomplete, your honor. A sheet is missing. I claim that there might have been a postscript on the other sheet which would entirely change the character of the order." The court so ruled, and defendant won the suit, The practice of utilizing fly sheets in that mer- chant's office was at once discontinued. —New York Press. A Sergeant's Surprise. "When Indians were being recruited for the regular army, said a western representative, "it was the custom to give them civilized names. Down at Fort Apache army officers were re- cruiting Yumas and Apaches. A re- cruiting sergeant was naming them. Finally a company had been formed, and the first sergeant, who was an American, went out to the front an., center to report his company to the commanding officer.

Paul Blouet; better known as "Max O'Rell" through his sketches of French and English life and character; M. Charles P. Lebon, instructor of French. who, by the way, is a littera- teur of some little note, and myself. The conversation, after various fluctu- ations, had assumed a story telling drift. NI. Blouet had just related an amusing anecdote of his Boston so- journ, and we were sllently puffing in that agreeable languor that arises from a good weed and a good story. On drawing his cardcase from his pocket M. Lebon brought forth a small bright object that glistened a second in the lamplight as it fell to the floor. He stooped for it with rather undue haste; with so much haste, in fact, that he called our attention to a movement that otherwise would hale passed un- noticed. "What is it?" inquired M. Blouet. Without a word Lebon handed .him the object he had dropped, but eyed him carefully as it was examined. "A key," remarked JI. Blouet; "a key and evidently of gold." And he passed it to me. I held inmy hand a key of perhaps an• inch in length and half as wide. There was nothing particularly re- markable about it unless it were the material of which it was composed, that appeared to be gold. Suddenly my eye caught sight of a date and an inscription upon the ring of the key - 'ler Juin, 1848.. Memento mori!" "A curious key," I suggested as I re- turned it to M. Lebon. "Tell us about it." The one addressed puffed assiduously for a moment or two as he twirled the mysterious key between his forefinger and thumb, but he made no reply. "Come, come," said M. Blouet as 'he leaned forward with interest, "there must be something to tell about a key Iike that. Why not let us have it?" "You are right, gentlemen. There is a curious story concerning this key, and since you desire it I will tell it to you, for truly, gentlemen, without exaggera- tion, this little bit of 'metal that I hold in my hand has one of the most re- markable of histories." "Tell it! Tell it!" we both exclaimed in a breath. Fresh cigarettes were lighted, and, still holding the key in his hand as if to bear witness to what be said, M. Lebon began his story. "It wa-c.in 14-1. j.,nt-otro..-tbc ouiicaa- der of Paris. The second empire had fallen. M. Thiers and -his party held the government. Evidences of the ter- rible commune were on every hand, still the city was beginning to look like the habitation of a civilized people. •One morning Le Journal des Debats announced the death at Versailles of a Russian lady who for more than 20 years had kept all the gossips of the Paris salons busy concerning a mystery that seemed to surround her. For rea- sons that I shall presently explain she became known as `La Dame a la Clef.' Now, a nickname in Paris means a great deal more than it does here. When one is nicknamed there, one car- ries that name to the grave. "The notice in Le Journal des Debats mentioned `La Dame a la Clef est morte.' It did not give her own name. That would have signified nothing. The paper concluded by saying that she died, aged 4.5, in complete solitude. It seems that her husband, who was much older than she, had visited her regular- ly every six months during the past ten years and then had disappeared, no one knew where. All was mysterious about this 'Lady of the Key.' One day came to her the news of her husband's death. She survived him but a short time, and it was whispered that she bad allowed herself to die from hunger. That was all the notice of her death had to say about the matter. The mystery still remained unexplained, and the interest concerning. her grew less and less and gradually died away altogether." M. Lebon paused to relight his ciga- rette, which he had allowed to go out. After doing this, be settled back in his chair, puffed once or twice, but did not seem at all inclined to continue the story. "Welty I ejaculated, "go on. • That is no story. Why, you haven't even said what the mystery was, or why she was called `La Dame a la Clef.' " "Ah, yes," he replied pensively, "quite right. I had forgotten. Gentle- men, I have no said that she was beautiful, yet such was the case. Her face was one of the loveliest that I have ever seen, her figure was perfect, and" - "Well?" interrupted M. Blouet some- what impatiently. pa gently. "Gentlemen, I will not bore you," continued M. Lebon smiling. "Simply. Imagine her beautiful in face and form; then, gentlemen, around her neck,; which was of the purest mold, was! riveted a golden chain to which was attached this key. And, gentlemen, from the 1st of June, 1848, to the day of her death the chain never left her neck, nor the key." He paused again and once more seemed disinclined to go on. "Well," said 11. Blouet, " we have the mystery; now for the solving of [t." "Gentlemen," continued M. Lebon, smiling sagely as be tipped off the ashes of his cigarette, "I have told you all that anybody hitt myself knows. Is that not enough? You now know what all Paris knew. Are you not satis- fied?" and he laughed quietly to him- self. We smoked for a few moments in silence, both M. Blouet and myself sur- mising that the best way to hear the rest of the story was to leave the nar- rator completely to himself. In a mo- ment the latter began again, speaking rapidly and in short sentences. "In 1848 her husband owned a country house near Passy. She was then young and gay. No chain or key adorucd her neck the One day she was surprised by her lord, shutting somebody in the wardrobe. A servant had betrayed her. The Muscovite Othello turned the key twice in the wardrobe, took it out, then told his wife to follow him. A. traveling brizska stood a few paces from the villa. More dead than alive, the un- happy woman obeyed. When the hus- band had placed her in the carriage he gave an order in a low voice to the coachman. 'Keep this key,' he said to his wife. 'I have forgotten something and will return,' then went back to the house. "He returned, according to his prom- ise, but as the carriage descended the hill the poor woman saw flames issu- ing from the windows of the villa. She fainted. Three days she remained un- conscious. On regaining her senses she perceived that a gold chain was riveted around her neck, to which was attach- ed a golden key, the exact counterpart of the original, bearing an inscription. She wished to kill herself, but her hus- band pointed to the inscription and added that if she would save her fam- ily from dishonor she must ever ob- serve it. She was therefore condemned to live. Her strange necklace excited much curiosity in Paris. At last her tyrant allowed her to retire to a quiet retreat on the express stipulation that she would not attempt to destroy her- self during his lifetime. His death re- leased her from this condition." • • • • • • * • Some three weeks later I was calling en my friend Lebon, who wished to show me some old manuscripts that he had been collecting. Ile produced a large box of rosewood, which he casu- ally ae.marked contained his family pa- pelg. To my astonishment, he drew from his pocket the mysterious key and inserted it in the lock, which yielded readily to his pressure, and the lid fiew back. "Why," I exclaimed in wonder, "that is the key!" "The key?" he interrogated. Then he laughed long and loud. "And you swal- lowed all that," he said when he could control his merriment. "Certainly," I replied grimly. "By the way, though, it wouldn't make a bad story, would it? I think I will work it up -elaborate it a little, you know." I left the house feeling deeply morti- fied to think I had been so effectually "sold." A desire for revenge took pos- session of me, and I determined to steal a march on him. I have done so. -Cri- terion. Don't Scold. Of all forms of human effort and execution scolding is the most useless. When a parrot, a chipmunk, a squirrel or bluejay scolds he is ludicrous. Fol people to scold is ludicrous, too, but with a difference, and assuredly the difference is on the unfavorable side. It never did and never will do any one any good. It has done much harm. Besides, scolding crows to be a habit_ We have all suffered because of the shortcomings of some one- else, re- ceiving tremendous tirades over what we had no hand in, because we hap- pened to be present when the scolding habit was yielded to by one of its vic- tims. Scolding is easy. It takes neither power of brain nor heart to scold. It does not even make any great draft upon the physical being. Any fishwife alive can be a grand success at scold- ing. Why compete with her? Scolding should be compelled to per- ish from the earth. The tongue, the voice, the eye, the face -all should be trained not to scold -yes, and the pen, for of all things a scolding pen is the worst. And the habit once formed with the pen is apt never to be entirely shaken off. -Ada C. Sweet in Woman's Home Companion. Millionll Spent In Amusements. "The American people are great thea- ter goers and spend about $112,000,000 annually for such amusements," said a prominent theatrical manager to the writer recently. "This vast sum of money is paid into the treasuries of some 1,000 companies, which were esti- mated to be playing in all parts of the United States last year. This includes everything that can be considered strictly professional companies, to say nothing of the countless amateur or- ganizations. "Of the strictly theatrical organiza- tions it is safe to say that the average receipts per night for the 1,000 compa- nies is $400 each. At seven perform- ances per week for each company the weekly average would be $2,800. The average theatrical season is 40 weeks. The entire 1,000 companies, with aver- age nightly receipts of $400, would produce weekly receipts at seven per- formances per week amounting to $2,- 800,000. This multiplied by 40, the ,number of weeks in the theatrical sea - pen, will yield gross receipts amount- ing to $112,000,000, which is probably far below what the people of this coun- try really do pay every year for the- atrical amusement." -Washington Star. To Save the Beaches. Maintenance of beaches along theNew England coast is being successfully accomplished by the "groyne system." These "groynes" consist of a series of posts planted flrraly in the sand, with close planks extending from post to post. The "groyne" is constructed at right angles to the beach and its po- sition prevents the waves acting on it injuriously. Sand is intercepted by the planking, rapidly forming a new beach and preventing erosion. lnherieea. "Pa," said little Willie, looking up from his arithmetic, "what is a linear foot?"

I KILLS WEEDS OR -INSECTS. As They Are Worn This Winter in Town and Country. With the disappearance of the even• Ing bonnet many of the fashionable women go to dinners, dances and the opera with uncovered heads. It is cer- tainly the simplest way, though one does risk a cold uow and then in the hurried flight from house to carriage. Even the flimsiest scarf wi disar- range the coiffure just a tr e, and. win popularity the growing pop y so lav- ishly ornamenting the piled up coils of hair, a head covering becomes a bit difficult to adjust comfortably and eas- ily. The dainty scarfs and hoods appeal more especially to out of town people, though these are not by any means the only ones who wear them. Fancy lace and embroidered scarfs are both pretty and becoming. These are lightly thrown over the head in any becoming fashion, and, if the scarf is long enough, one end may be wound about the throat and shoulders. A narrow scarf of puffed liberty silk with lace stripes has a double edge of chenille loops, making a pretty frame for the face. This scarf is neither wide enough nor long enough to be worn in more than one fashion -simply thrown over the head and knotted or crossed under the chin. The mantilla scarf is of a larger size and admits of variety in the mode of draping. A pale pink or blue tucked liberty silk with stripes of black French lace run with gold thread makes a pretty scarf. This is edged all around with a double fringe of chenille loops, which is soft and grace- ful and makes a dainty finish. For bitterly cold nights, when even these airy scarfs are scarcely consider- ed warm enough for use, a hood of some new cut and fashion is most com- fortable. These are not clumsy af- fairs. Instead they are soft and light and very effective when worn by a pretty woman and one whose youthful face possesses a dash of coquetry. One design something like an old fashioned SILK AND CHIFFON OPERA HOOD. bonnet, illustrated by the New York Herald in connection with this de- scription of evening hoods and wraps, is of lace striped pale blue silk. the hood and cape cut together and fitting the head loosely. It is lined with blue silk of some soft weave, and all around the outside edge of both the hood and cape is a full plaited rutile of lace edg- ed chiffon. A jaunty bow of blue rib- bon is fastened on the right side of the top, and the hood is tied with broad sashes of chiffon with ruffled edges. Another style of hood is one that looks like a large puff of soft striped silk lightly wadded and lined with a plain color. The front edge turns back. showing the lining, and at either side are knots and long, broad sashes of the plain silk. The style is quaint and pretty, but not nearly so practical as one with a cape attached. The lovely little evening capes and collarettes are fascinating in the ex- treme and are convenient to use wheu larger wraps are too clumsy. One very pretty design is of shirred mousseline. with rather high collar. Around the edge of the cape are two deep accor- dion plaited ruffles, one a trifle shorter than the other and both finished with an edging of black French lace. The long stole ends are of the same plait- ing,with several rows of the lace across the bottom. Perhaps the oddest and prettiest cape is the one made of pale pink chiffon, put on in shirred petal shape, the whole thinglike crush one e huge cru. h rose. When worn, the head forms the center of the flower. Notes From The Jewelers' Circular. The old time pouncet which spreads abroad sweet odors is one of the inno- vations. It is usually a ball of per- forated or pierced gold or silver at- tached to the long chain or bracelet. Tiniest gold or silver mesh purses. which can bold at most two silver dimes, are among trinkets that may be attached to the chain. Short lengths of heavy silver chains ending in elaborate balls can be looped about the wrist as bracelets. Fancy lorgnette chains consist of daintiest blossoms in enamel, with pre- cious stone centers. Chalcedony, a peculiarly pleasing soft green stone. is one of the most taking novelties displayed this season. Barrettes afford a pleasing variation in hair clasps. s. T be long and large, , open, oval shapes seem decided favor- ites. Very fine flexible chain fobs, daintily mounted with pearls, are adapted to ladies' use. Pearl and diamond collars of many rows remain fashionable, despite all new claimants for favor in.ueckwear.

DARING CAPRICES AND AIRY FANCIES THAT ENLIVEN THE MODES. Rit. of Originality In Hats -The Reign of the Rose on Coiffure and Evening Gown -Pretty Jabot. and Fluffy Tulle Knots. Fashions have settled into a certain well regulated state adverse to any radical changes, as is to be expected at this season. Nevertheless the tradi- tional spice of dress manifests itself in caprices and conceits, whose charming unexpectedness speaks of the sparkling fancy of the Parisian modistes. From Paris comes the tale of new white Novel Favm Implement Capable of a Variety of Use.. Benjamin F. Brown of Wedington, Ark., has designed the apparatus de- scribed by the Chicago News for use in destroying Insects and noxious weeds and also for burning stumps of trees. It consists of a firebox which burns either coal or wood, with a rota- ry fan to create intense heat by forcing the draft. The furnace is mounted on a two wheeled carriage, which makes it easy to transport it from place to place, and arrangement is made for adjusting the size of the mouth CHAPEAU IN SHADES OF MAUVE. cloth toques and hats in rough frieze, trimmed with flowers and a gold bow on one side. Two fancies of the Rue de la I'aix by their daring and original- ity serve to arouse the weary devotees of fashion to renewed interest. One is a marvelous confection of felt, velvet, ribbon and flowers, all carried out in shades of mauve; the other a dashing picture hat of black felt, with long black plume and bow of gold gauze ribbon. And just here may be sung the glo- ries of the rose, and especially the gold rose. In white and colors come the roses. One rose may rest upon the forehead, a very chic style; a single blossom may be tucked daintily in be- hind the ear, or a woman may be a veritable queen of roses, with half a dozen arranged at fancy. To be bien coiffe and, foe the most part, elaborate- ly coiffe, is one of fashion's most strict requirements this season, and the rose is the freshest frill to that end which the mysterious power that makes all modes has launched for a long time. It is almost an old tale to speak of the large white ribbon bows, the pink or blue bows. the velvet bows and the dainty little scarfs of black or white silk muslin twisted in waving tresses. Wreaths of silk or velvet leaves there are in the clever ornaments of the mil- liners and of silver iu the costlier achievements of the jewelers. These necessitate a coil low at the neck, and the ornament emulates a Greek wreath. For ball dresses chiffon and tulle roses are the rage, and these are some- times arranged rs a border to the skirt, which is of chiffon, mousseline de sole, crepe de chine or a new kind of rather heavy crape. Surely Dame Fashion never studies the question of expendi- ture, for the long skirts of today are subject to utter destruction in the ball- room. Evening skirts, even for danc- ing, are worn longer than ever. Their only amelioration lies in the multifa- rious flounces with which these long skirts are bordered from a little below the knee to the hem, inside and outside, and these keep the skirt out from the feet and prevent utter destruction. A worn waist can be rejuvenated somewhat by a lace bolero or one of the pretty ja[x.ts or fluffy tulle bows, of which it would be hard to have too many. These can be made of odds or ends of lace. Nothing lends such an effect cf freshness to the neat tailor made frock, which has perhaps seen better days, as the addition of a tulle bow, and if one has not the Parisian fa - better days, as the addition of a tulle into a "uoend" trifles of this sort are to be found in all the shops. , Furs, up to midwinter and past, hardly bad their BLACK PICTURE HAT WITH GOLD BAND. opportunity on account of mild weath- er, although worn in profusion as boas, collarettes and various neck pieces. But cold weather brings out the handsome fur wraps, the new blouse, the popular short jacket and the long coat of broad- tail, Persian lamb or sealskin, with re- vers and collar of a contrasting hue. It may be safely predicted that the first note of change in the early spring fashions will be struck in the alteration of the sleeve. This seems destined to become less tight, and already there is a distinct tendency to a return to more generous proportions. Puffs are begin- ning to assert themselves again on the elbow and below, while undersleeves are an established mode for dressy o dr ss y waists. Brown Betty.

When utilized for destroying weeds or burn- ing stubble, the hood is adjusted close to the ground and the machine pro- pelled at a rapid rate, when the gear- ing puts the fan in motion and drives a fierce heat through the opening in front, which cuts a swath of ashes through the field. By providing for the substitution of a fertilizer spread- ing apparatus or seeder in place of the firebox the machine's utility can be greatly increased, and it will be found a valuable addition to the stock of farm machinery. To Prevent Shipwrecks. During the past two years there have been many wrecks of vessels navigat- iug the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska. I have heard complaints from mariners engaged in the northern trade that the coasts uorth of this city are not properly lighted and that the wa- ters to the northward have not been as fully sounded as safety to vessels re quires. I append hereto an editorial article which appeared in The Province, pub- lished in this city. If the invention therein described will accomplish the results claimed, it is undoubtedly need- ed eeded along these coasts. Shipping statis- tics show that the recent storms along the western coast of British Columbia have surpassed in general destructive- ness any previous visitations. From Cape Beale north along the Vancouver Island seaboard has long been dreaded ground for navigators, a portion of it being known by the significant name of "the graveyard of the Pacific." It will interest those whose calling takes them into these waters to learn that an invention is now being investigated by the marine authorities and navi- gators at Southend-on-Sea which, if it may not go a long way toward making lighthouses obsolete and unnecessary, is expected to be of much value in the prevention of shipwreck from any one of 90 per cent of the usual causes. This is an automatic system of signal- ing, which will warn ships of their ap- proach to dangerous rocks and coasts in all weathers, when even a flashing light might not be seen and the boom- ing of a fog horn be unheard..A metal- lic conductor is fixed on an elevation ashore or a lightship or reef or light- house. From this aetheric waves are transmitted over a zone which has a radius of seven miles. All vessels with- in that area which are fitted with re- ceivers are warned of their proximity to danger, the distance and the point of the compass being registered. At the same time a bell rings, and the re- ceiving instrument records the name of the place that is being approached. The automatic part of the invention consistsof steel bearings with a nuw'ter of teeth which pass over a Morse trans- mitter. No operators are needed. The instrument or machine works absolute- ly automatically. In its elementary principles the system resembles Mar- coni's method of wireless telegraphy, but in detail the system is essentially different. The committee of investiga- tion at Southend-on-Sea has enthusi- astically indorsed the invention after submitting it to a variety of tests in both fair and foul weather, and a syn- dicate is now being formed to engage in its manufacture on a large scale, the inventor stipulating that the price main- tained shall be a moderate one, he him- self preferring to be remembered as a philanthropist rather than as a million- aire inventor. -L.

An AmateurSayant Pooled. The stories are common enough of fire engines being turned out to quench an aurora, and, on the other hand, it has not seldom happened that a very mundane conflawation has -passedj muster for a "celestial display." In the memoirs of Baron Stock mar an amusing anecdote is related of one Herr von Radowitz, who was given to making the most of easily picked up Information, A Iriend of the baron's went to an evening party near Frank- fort, where he expected to meet Herr von Radowitz. On his way he saw a barn burning, stopped his carriage, as- sisted the people and waited till the flames were nearly extinguished. When he arrived at his friend's house, he found Herr von Radowitz, who had previously taken the party to the top of the building to see an aurora, dilating on terrestrial magnetism, electricity, etc. Radowitz asked Stockmar's friend, "Have you seen the beautiful aurora borealis?" He replied: "Certainly. I was there myself. It will soon be over." An ex- planation followed as to the barn on fire. Radowitz was silent some ten minutes, then he took up his hat and quietly disappeared. -Knowledge. Not a Success. The experiment was not a success. Frequently she had complained that he was not as he used to be, that his love seemed to have grown cold and that he was too prosaic and matter of fact. So when he found one of his old love letters to her he took it with him the next time he was called away from the city, made a copy of it and mailed it to her. "John Henry," she exclaimed when he returned, "you're the biggest fool that ever lived. I believe you have softening of the brain. What did you mean by sending me that trash?" "Trash, my dear," he expostulated. "Yes, trash -just sickly, sentimental nonsense." "That isn't how you described it Vi when I first wrote it and sent it to you," he protested. "You said then it was the dearest, sweetest letter ever written, and you insist now that I have changed and you haven't. I thought I would try to" - "Well, you didn't succeed," she in- terrupted, and she was mad for two days. Sometimes it is mighty difficult to please a woman. -Chicago Post. t551•99991.5.555951165.ftesee...466,646951551$ 199999499691•91.6999,999,- 545.5.11.54111115.51.5.....5 .2.1:2110041.4.0,10, - Doors In china,. In China doors are often round, leaf shaped or semicircular. In placing them the builder usually avoids having one opposite another lest evil spirits find their way from the street into the recesses of the building. The door- ways separating the courts of a garden are usually of an elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is one of the most popular. Religious superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the universal sacredness of the numerals three and nine is shown in the arrangement of temple doors. There is a triple gate- way to each of the halls of the imperial 1, palace, and the same order prevails at the Ming tombs, and the sacred person of the emperor when he was in his Pe- king home could only be approached even by the highest officials after three times three prostrations. The Temple s ' of Heaven has a triple roof, a triple marble staircase, and all its mystic symbolism points either to three or its multiples. Her Challenge. A woman in Cape Colony on trial for some offense was told that she might "challenge" any one on the jury to Whom she objected. She immediately took advantage of the permission by challenging a highly respectable farm- er. On being asked afterward what her reason had been for doing so she explained that she had supposed she was obliged to object to some one, so she had picked out the ugliest Mtles or utmost.. There are 2,400,000 sweat glands on the human body, each one -fifteenth of an inch long, and their aggregate length Is two and a half miles. ASTINGS HASTINGS, IIINN., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1901. SI per Year in Advance. $2 p,•r Year 1t not in Advance Newly lmvented Motor, Conetrneted In a Peculiar Manner. .1 novel motor, illustrated and de- sci ibed by The Scientific American. has :;,'st i:emu patented by Martin Pisszi:ar of New York city.. 'From a central driving shaft a num- ber- of arras radiate. which serve to carry vanes. Of these vanes each has tine end pivotally attached to the -outer end of one of the arms, so that it can swing freely: Stops are movably se- cured to the arms and arranged to pro- ject into the path of the vanes to bring then( into driving. connection with the arms. Rory are slidable transversely NOVEL WIND OR WATER MOTOR. on the arms and are operatively con. nected with the stops. A collar or ring normally engages the ends of the bars. the ring being provided with alternat- ing elevations and depressions. The collar is locked by means of a lever. A stop lever is arranged to engage the Projecting portion of the lock lever tc unlock the collar whenever desired. By means of this lever mechanism the cellar -can be made to rotate with the arms, or it can be thrown out of gear, .so that the bars will sink into the de. pressions, thereby stopping the motor. The vanes, as our illustration shows, are of peculiar construction. Each vane consists of a rectangular frame to which a cover is secured. To this rec- tangular frame canvas covered side frames are pivoted so that they can fold inwardly. At the pivotal or outer end of the vanes a folding canvas cov- eretl end frame is attached and is op- posed by a - balancing frame likewise covered with canvas. The vanes are pressed by the current against the stops When the vanes approach a po- sition directly in line with the wind, they are swung around on their pivots partially by the action of wind on the end frames. This action is coun- terbalanced by the balancing frame, thereby—j ventingthe vanes from swinging around too soon. The vanes range 13 the direction of the wind, the several frames Folding against the main -frame. Against the current the vanes present a narrow edge and there- fore offer little resistance, automatical- ly preserving a direction parallel with the current until they strike the stops again. Utilizing the Sun's Heat. The sun's heat has been harnessed at last. Dr. William Calver of. Washing- ton has invented tht' necessary appa- ratus, according to 1'earson's Magazine. In the inventor's laboratory, or "sun -power yard, • as he Prefers to call it, there are in all I.t t) small mirrors, ar- ranged on frames of different sizes, the largest holding 810 mirrors and the smallest 25 Each mirror has been found eapeldt by actual therrnometric- al lneasue-cinert, to reflect from 10 to 15 degrees of heat. according to the lo- ration- r,t' the sun, the angle of the mirror and the heat or warmth of the day. With all the mirrors in use. therefore, a total heat of some 24,000 degrees Is generated. In the ordinary way Dr. Culver never uses more than one or two of his mirror frames simultaneously; in fact. unless required to melt down a mountain of stone or to perform some gigantic operation of the kind, be would hardly have cause to do so. The sun rays are focused on a piece of highly burnished metal, shaped like the smooth inside of a washbasin, only much larger. _A piece of wood, three feet in length and an inch across, drawn soaking from a barrel of water and thrust into the reflected rays dries in about a half second and in another half bursts into flame. Each of the mirror frames operates a heliomotor of its own. The heat, Iike ice, may be stored up indefinitely, for use in cloudy weather. Tbl! heat reservoir is a round metal tank, not un- like an ordinary gas storage tank, fill- ed with a combination of, minerals and fitted with tight sliding doors. The heat is absolved by the minerals and may be drawn o@' when required with as much ease as beer is drawn from a cask. Large Pupils Healthier. Some school statistics collected with a view to testing the truth of Dr. F. Smedley's statement that the average large pupil is brighter than the average small one have been published. Seven thousand pupils were examined to ob- tain statistics as to a basis for com- parison. Tie result of the examination of the comparative school standing of strong and well formed pupils and those whose nutrition had been defect- ive was surprising. The rule of a sound mind iu a sound body was startlingly demonstrated. and was proved to work with mathematical accuracy. --Chicago Record. Would Like Some. "What do you rind in that stupid old paper to keep you so busy?" petulantly asked Mrs.. Youngrouple. "i was - fust looking at, the money market," he answered. "Oh, do they have a money market? Are there ever any bargains?"—Indian- apolis Press. Herald. Men Who Handle Millions. The government is more trustful of ' the employees in its financial center than is any private corporation. In the United States treasury the whole output of the nation's currency is handled 1)9 men who are under neither surveillance nor bond. The paying tell- er handles $40,000,000 or $50,010,000 a year. The exchange clerk has every day S60.000 in change at hand. The money in charge of the keeper of the cash - room runs from $170,000,000 upward, and the chief of the issue division handles millions every day. Any of these !nen could get away with euor- mous amounts of money and be reason- . ably secure against detection for a con- siderable length of time. Nevertheless. peculations from the treasury have been few and small in amount during its history. There is an axiom in the department which runs as follows: "Wherever money is handled there -is a point at which the honesty of the individual muse be the main reliance." And so the treasury dispenses with the services of spotters. However, private business interests involving the handling of large sums of money are not likely to follow this example. Spotters may he an evil, but they are a necessity in the - present phase of human development, and until some psychological chemist devises a prep- aration to make men honest the type 1s likely to persist.—S. II. Adams in Ainslee's. A Precocious Baby. The baby was only 4, but she was an only child and had lived with her par- ents largely in hotels, and she was a self possessed little maiden. She was always a model of propriety as to man- ners, so that when one day a young mau, a friend of her papa's and mam- ma's and a great admirer of the little girl, asked to take Her out to luncheon all by herself she was allowed to go. A very tiny girl may go without a chaperon sometimes. The little girl was to do the ordering. She undertook this responsibility with confidence and, taking up the menu, studied it with as much gravity as if the letters were not as unreadable to her as Greek would have been to her mamma. "I will have some meat and some po- tatoes," she said gravely, "and by and by I may have some ice cream." The order was given, the cream fol- lowed, and the little lady was an alto- gether charming, dainty and sweet lit- tle companion for luncheon. The meal ended with the dignity with which it had begun, the young woman donned her wraps, and as the young man was preparing to escort her to the door she remarked gravely: "And now I will have some flowers." It was the last touch of grown up- ness, _ and It was the proudest young man in New York who took home a pretty and dignified baby with a big bunch of roses in her arms.—New York Times. A Patent Hole. Of the many extraordivary things for which patent protection has been granted a hole seems to be the most useless and impossible. Yet there aro many patents for holes, and, what is more, the patents are valid and valu- able. One of the best relates to holes in ships' bottoms for the admission and escape of water to the condensers. Every oue who has seen a screw steamer under way will have noticed a stream of water issuing from her side, a little above the water line; that water is pumped Into the ship for the pur- pose of condensing the waste steam that leaves the cylinders ane returning it as water to the boilers. At last it occurred to a genius th.t if a hole were made- in the bottom of the ship forward of the condenser and another abaft it, the water would cir- culate around the condenser without the aid of a pump. It is for the shape of these holes, so that they will offer less resistance to the water when the ship Is traveling fast, that several pat- ents have been granted. A Testamentary Pnasle. An Englishman who recently died bad three children, one son and two daughters, and he mentioned all of them in his will. The first clause is, "1 leave my piano to Mary Elizabeth, when Arthur has done with it." The other clause is, "To Susan Jane—she may take what- ever Arthur wishes to give to her." There is no doubt of Arthur's stand- ing in the document. but the pointed question is raised. Are Mary Elizabeth and Susan Jane beneficiaries under the will? The One Exception.

Trying to Keep Out. A sick man who was really near t death could not resist the temptation to have a little fun with his spiritual ad vises. He bad a lingering milady, bu his days were certainly numbered by a few weeks at the most. He had not been known as a man of strong reli- gious convictions. and yet there was little If anything which could be said against him. It was one of those deli- cate cases in which it Is hard for the minister to do anything. Some one suggested to Rev. Paul Weyand, then stationed at Morningside, that he make a call upon the patient. Going to the house, he found the man propped up in bed to relieve -a smother- ing sensation. The sick man could scarcely talk above a whisper, and Rev. Mr. Weyand began to make subtle in- quiries about his spiritual welfare. The invalid's answers were all non- comrgittal and evasive, and finally in despair the pastor asked: "Do you really want to go to heaven, Mr. Blank?" "Do 1 want to go to heaven?" repeat- ed the dying man in a hoarse whisper. "Why, that's the place i've been fight- ing so hard to keep out of for the last two years!"—Pittsburg News. The Kiss That Made Nita Mad. A Boston Luau, in speaking of certain foreign characteristics, told the follow- _ ing story: "A middle aged American t couple traveling abroad some years ago called in !tome on a sculptor witb whom they had been acquainted years before.. The visit passed off pleasant- ly, but at its close the host gallantly, but none -the less to her surprise and chagrin. kissed- the lady as he said goodby. The sculptor was an elderly man, but nevertheless it was a liberty, and she was not astonished to Clear her husband ejaculate: `Why, I never beard of such cheek! I've a good mind to go back and ten him what I think of himY; "After two or three remarks of a similar tenor. in ,thick the note of an- ger was rising, the wife decided to pour oil on the troubled waters and so, laying her hand on his arm, said: 'I know, dears he shouldn't have kissed me. but what does it really matter? What does a kiss count in a woman of my years? Ile is a very old man, and probably be was following the fashion of the country.' "Her husband turned an astonished face. 'Of course I don't mind his kiss- ing you,' he raged. *but,' and his voice rose, 'it's his having kissed me that has hurt my feelings!' "The sculptor had followed the Ital- ian custom and kissed both wife and husband."—New York Tribune, Anticipated. He was a Scotch minister in a small country parish, and he was sometimes put to it for fresh pasture wherewith to feed his flock. One day, however, he bethought himself that he had never thoroughly exhausted the sub- ject of Jonah, and his heart rejoiced.

Occasionally there is to be found a proprietor of a secondhand bookstore who is something more than the nature of his business would seem to indicate. He regards his old and rare volumes ather as a collection than a stock of goods and experiences a pang when be parts with one. A flippant young man dropped into a secondhand bookstore kept by a man of this kind. Taking down several choice old books from the shelves, he fingered them carelessly and replaced them. They happened to treat of abstruse subjects and did not appeal to him. "Are any of these books for hire?" he asked carelessly. "No, young man," sharply answered the proprietor. "They are for lore,"— St. Louis Republic. Fires In New York. Fires in ail parts of New York city are most common between 8 and 9 p. m. and are least common between the hours of 6 and 7 p. m.

Not the Bass Viol Man's Fault. A capital story relating to good old times is still told in the Fen district of the eastern counties. As is well known by many and even now remem- bered by some, a bass viol was often procured to help the choirs in parish churches. One lovely Sunday morning in the summer while the parson was droning out his drowsy discourse and bad aboet reached the middle a hig bull managed to escape from his pasture and march ed majestically down the road, bellow- ing defiantly as he came. The parson, who was somewhat deaf. heard the bull bellow, but, mistaking the origin of the sound. gravely glanced toward the singers' seats and said in tones of reproof: "I would thank the musicians not to tune up during service time. It annoys me very touch." As may well be imagined, the choir looked greatly surprised, but said noth- ing. Very soon, however, the belligerent bull gave another bellow, and then the aggrieved parson became desperately indignant.—Cnssell's Magazine. A Mountain Accident. A serious seeming accident with a fortunate termination is reported by a western exchange. A man and his wife, while driving Along a mountain road in Oregon, met with a curious mishap. The wagon was overturned, and the occupants fell out. The woman dropped into the branches of is tree 50 feet below. and the rnan went sliding and bumping fully 300,feet to the bottom of a ravine. When he recovered his senses, he was comparatively unhurt and went to bis wife's rescue, but it was an hour be- fore he could extricate her from where she hung by her skirts. A Philadelphia Story.

Sunday School Teacher—And why were they called "wise men?" Phil Adelphy—Because. ma'am, they went back again.—Philadelphia Press. An Irish lecturer, upon being intro- duced to his audience, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, before I begin to speak I wish to say a few words." He Stunned the Porter. On one occasion Sims Reeves, the famous tenor, was stranded at a emus. try ;,unction waiting for a train. It wa, cold and miserable, and the singer was naturally not in the best of tem- !pers. While chewing the cud of disap- Iointment an old railway porter who recognized him from the published por- traits entered the waiting room. "Good evening, Mr. Sims Reeves," he said. "Good evening, my man," replied the vocalist, getting ready the necessary tip. But the man sought for informa- tion rather than tips. "They tell me you earn a heap of money," he remarked. "Oh!" murmured Mr. Reeves. "And yet," pursued the porter, "you don't wort: hard. Not so hard as I do, for instance. But I dessay you earn— p'raps ten times what I do—eh?" "What do you earn?" asked the singer. "Eighteen shillings a week all the year round," said the porter. Sims Reeves opened his chest. "Do, re, mi—do," he sang, the last note be - :ng a ringing top one. "There, my man; there's your year's salary gone." The amazed railway man gazedsvon- deringly at the singer for a full min- ute. Then, as though his thoughts were "far too deep for words," he si- lently resumed his prosaic occupation. .'-Golden Penny. Not Strong Enough. At one of the clubs the other day two members were arguing about will power. The conceited man, who was in the habit of boring all present with his pointless tales, said that his will was stronger than his friend's. "You are wrong there," said the quiet man. "and I will prove it in this way: You go and stand in that corner, and I will will you to come out of it. You will against me, and I bet you that I will have you from that corner before I have commanded you a second time." The smart one took the bet and put himself in.the corner. The quiet man said in a commanding voice: "Come out of that corner!" The other grinned and shook his head. The quiet man sat down and looked at him steadily. Five minutes passed, and ;he man of will said, with a sneer: "Hadn't you better give it up? I don't feel any influence at all, and I can't stand here all the evening." "There is no hurry," Bald the quiet man, "and I have a very comfortable seat. There is no time limit except that you are to come out before I ask you twice, and as I don't intend to ask you again until this day week I think you will feel the influence before then." The smart one came out looking very foolish.—London King. Met on a screen. . One of the happiest uses served by that wonderful and many named in- vention. the moving picture machine, appears in a story told in the London Music Hall. A party of gentlemen were watch- ing the pictures when in one of the South African scenes they recognized an officer friend. The wife of the officer, en being told of this, wrote to the manager and asked that this pic ture might he put on on a certain evening when she would purposely, journey from Glasgow. She had not seen her husband for over a year, but at last observed him in a group—on the screen of a cine- matograph. Travelers say the hotels of Cairo. Egypt, are the best in the world. They are as good as the best continental ho- tels, better than the best American ho- tels and extremely better than the fashionable London hostelries. Fear of the Dead. Fear of the dead is instinctive in man. There is no doubt about that. I do not profess to be able to enter into the exact reasons for that fear; wheth- er It be that man instinctively recoils from contemplatiop of the fallen tem- ple alone or what not, it is sufficient that the fear exists. Neither is this instinctive fear of the dead confined to man. I owned a horse once that could never he driven past a dead horse. The animal exhibited all the signs of true fear. Fear coupled with shock can produce insanity. I do not think that the rea- son of a normal man would be unseat- ed if he were locked up alone with a corpse for many hours, though a per- son with weak nerves certainly might be so affected. If a man discovered that his sweetheart bad died suddenly while alone with him, the shock might render him insane. Even to those most familiar with - death and dead bodies there is some- thing awe inspiring about a corpse, and no man's nerves are proof against a fright. I remember once, when I was alone in the dissecting room at night, the hand of the subject upon which I was engaged became loosened. I did not notice what had happened. Sud- denly the arm of the subject swung around, and the hand struck the side of my face. Years of training in im- munity from superstition vanished in the jump that I gas-e.—Dr. John D.

"Watchmakers." "How?" "I thought other cities maybe weren't quite like our small town in the wild and wicked west, but they are and more so. I take my watch, which, as you know, Is a fine gold one, full jewel- ed, costing $300, in to have a few re- pairs, much or little, as may be, and the boss timekeeper gives me an old battered tin watch to carry in its place that makes me ashamed to look into the face of a reputable watch for weeks. In addition it excites suspicion in the minds of my nearest friends when they see me take it out, and if I should die with that watch on my per- son in a strange country the newspa- pers would say, 'Judging from the watch found on the deceased. he must have come from m New Jersey.' Now, what I want to know is why don't jewelers have `substitute watchers' to match their customers'? That is to say, let the customer's watch left for re- pairs determine the kind of watch he is to carry until he gets his own again." But his wife couldn't tell him to save her life.—Detroit Free Press. Didn't See the Joke. "It isn't safe to he funny these days unless one labels one's jokes," said a woman who went abroad recently. "You know, I've always rather fancied myself as a wit, and on the steamer coming home I really let myself out. Everybody was a bit seasick, and I— Well, even I had times when I thought I'd rather own an automobile than any kind of a yacht. One day we all fore- gathered on deck and talked about what we'd gone through—you know how people do on shipboard. I was talking in my cleverest vein with an English family. "'I'm like a famous lady,' I chortled gayly. 'I'll be extremely glad to set foot on terra cotta again: "That evening the mother of the Eng- lish family took me aside. "'My dear,' she said, 'I'm so much older than you that I am sure I may make so bold as to tell you something, and I want you to fake it in the spirit In which it is meant. You said this morning you'd be glad to set foot on terra cotta again. I thought I'd just call your attention to the thing so you won't make the same mistake again. It isn't terra cotta, it's terra firma,' "— Washington Post, Surface Indications. From "A Book on Dartmoor," writ- ten by the Rev. S. Baring -Gould, comes a story which might have come from a less trustworthy source: The wild and -romantic country of Dartmoor consists of a tableland with rugged peaks or tors and all but im- passable marshes. After a dry summer it is easy to pick one's way across parts of it which at other times are full of pitfalls. At one of the latter periods a man was cautiously treading his way across one of the treacherous marshes when he saw a hat lying brim down- ward on the sedge. He gave it a gen- tle, good humored kick in passing and almost jumped out of his skin when a choked voice called out from beneath: "What be you a-doin to my 'at?" "Be there now a chap under'n?" ex- claimed the traveler. "Ees, 1 reckon, and a boss under me likewise." A Difficult Wife. An Englishman thus describes the wife of bis bosom in his will: "Heaven seems to have sent her into the world solely to drive me out of it.

"Why?" "Well, he insisted on raising whisk- ers," "Raising whiskers? Great Scott! Isn't this a free country, where a man may raise whiskers if he so chooses?" "Yes, this is a free country, and a man can do pretty much as he likes, but there's one thing he can't do and work for me, and that's it." "Why do you object?" "For three reasons. The first is that he was a rather cross looking fellow anyway. Whiskers would make him look crosser.

Mr. Jefferson probably wrote more letters with his own band than any other public man that ever lived. The extent of his correspondence may be inferred from the fact that 26,000 let- ters neatly folded and briefed were preserved by him and found carefully tiled away at the time of his death, with copies of the replies sent to more than 10.000. 'These, however. were on- ly a small portion of his correspond- ence. as he retained only those he con- sidered of future usefulness or impor- tance. Stenography was not invented at that time. Every one of his letters was written with his own hand and with great care, although after breaking his wrist while minister to France it be- came a great labor to him. His pen- manship was small, plain and legible, every letter being perfectly formed. and his agcount books are kept In so small a hand that many of the pages cannot be read without a magnifying glass. Jefferson was ambidextrous. He could write equally well with either hand. When his wrist was broken. he learned to write with his left hand, which became as skillful as the other. It would have been impossible for him to have carried on his extensive corre- spondence without being able to re- lieve his right hand at intervals.—Chi- cago Record. Divided the Remedy. The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a physician of that city who was called ,,to see an old Irishman and his wife, down with colds. He advised quinine and whisky as an antidote.

It may not be generally known that it is cansidered a serious offense for a German soldier, no matter what may be his rank, to appear in public except in uniform, even though he be on fur- lough. The army regulations etrictly enjoin that he must always wear bis uniform. A certain Lieutenant Schmidt, who was engaged in some lively adventure or other, drossed up as a civilian and was having altogether an enjoyable time until, on turning a corner, he un- expectedly met his colonel.

I am his brother from the country and alt paying him a little visit, but i happen just now to have lost my way." The colonel quietly gave the desired information, and Lieutenant Schmidt, congratulating himself on bis lucky es- cape, hurried home and put on his uni- form with all possible speed. He thought, of course, that he had taken in his superior officer, but such an idea was rudely dispelled when on the next day he met his colonel, and the latter said: - "Lieutenant Schmidt, if your brother front the country pays you anotber vis- it I'll have him placed in close confine- ment for 30 clays."

"1 did think I would never come to see you again," said a cousin of the prominent society woman who had come to the country to visit her and was about to start homeward. "It's kind of you to ask me, of course, but I remember that when I was at your house in the city, two years ago, you did not seen] glad to see Inc. You were kind and hospitable, of course, but I remember you did not smile once dur- ing the entire two weeks of my stay." To her astonishment, her city cousin burst into a fit of laughter. "Maria," she said. "just before you carne I bad the misfortune to break the porcelain 'crown' from one of my new front teeth, and as my dentist was out of town on his vacation I had to wait for lits return. I didn't dare to smile when any one was looking at me, for fear of showing the ghastly metallic 'back' to which tbe porcelain had been attached. It was a strath, Marin, but I was equal to it. and I did not want to have to explain." And her smile, now without a me- chanical flaw, re -enforced the renewed invitation.—Youth's Companion. Animals That Bloom. Anemones. bponges, the sea cucum- bers and certain other growths which bloom and. [apparently behave in all respects like plants are really animals. The petals of the .anemone, resem- bling .those of a chrysanthemum, are really tentacles to catch food and put it into the hollow tube which forms the stomach, where it is digested. The sea cucumber has a flattened body. It occasionally moves at a snail's pace over the mild or and. digging its pet- als. or arms, into the sludge for food. to obtain which it swallows a fair proportion of mud. It has power to sting and so keeps away its enemies. The'sca lily so exactly resembles the common lily that it is difficult to real- ize that it is an animal and belongs to the starfish family. It has a stalk two feet long, with a disk for a body. The tentacles close round the disk, which has a mouth, and completes the de- ceptive likeness. They are the oldest form of animal life on earth, and their fossils are called "stone lilies." These creatures were believed to be plants and many people still refuse to believe otherwise. When She Laughed. In his volume on Ellen Terry Clem- ent Scott tells of a somewhat self sat- isfied, vainglorious and grumpy actor who complained that the noted Eng- lish actress continually laughed in one of his most important scenes. He had not the courage to tell her bis objec- tions, so he wrote her a letter of heart- broken complaint, in which he said: "I am extremely sorry to tell you that it is Impossible for me to make any ef- fect in such and such a scene if you persist in laughing at me on the stage and so spoiling the situation. May I ask you to change your attitude, as the scene is a most trying one?" Miss Terry's answer was very direct and to the point, for she wrote: "You are quite mistaken. I never laugh at you on the stage. I wait till I get home." Milk. An English physician, commenting on the tendency of London bred per- sons to die young, says that they drink too little milk. Even in the country "milk is not such a common article of diet as it was in past years, and chil- dren are not nourished according to hygienic laws." A new virtue is ascribed to milk by The Practical 'Druggist, which says it is the best general preventive of the absorption of poison by the human system. Unsympathetic. "You haven't much sympi?thy for the request from your employees for short- er horter bourn" "Not much," answered Mr. Cumrox. "It goes to show that men don't know when t$ey are well off. If tbey had been invited around to musicales and dragged through Europe by Mrs C. and the girls like I have, maybe they'd appreciate the privilege of staying in a nice, comfortable, businesslike office nine or ten hours a day."—Washington Star. 51111 Anxious, "Have yeti fastened the windows, dear?" she asked, as they were about to retire for the night "No. What's the use? t gave you the last dollar 1 had to buy that new bat, and we needn't fear burglars."

The Athenians dine late the year round and, whenever the weather will permit, in the open air. As the heated season advances the dinner hour is set later and later uutll in August 9:30 or IU becomes the common thing. Fancy going to the theater after that! Yet the open air performances are liberally patronized, and they do not begin, of course, entil after dinner. The legend "Curtain rises promptly at 9" is a snare and a delusion, as many a for- signer has found, to his extreme au- noyance. The out or door dining and the sky roofed theaters are so typically Greek that they serve as a link between mod- ern and classical tinges. The old Greek, as everybody knows, was an outdoor man, bis house serving as little more than a sleeping place and storeroom. The Athenian of today dines in a gar- den, on his terrace or in a park. If he is too poor to possess any of these ac- cessories, he sets his table upon the sidewalk. Many of the cheap restau- rants appropriate the walks for dining rooms. One is often `ompelled when taking an evening stroll to dodge in and out among dozens of tables cover- ed with reasonably clean linen and lighted by means of candles, whose 1 aures are protected from the wind by means of glass globes.—Scribner's. Doctors' "Cat Naps." The "cat naps" indulged in by the late Dr. William Pepper constituted a standing joke among his intimate friends. Ile had the faculty of going to sleep at will and waking up when he willed. IIe would sometimes when un- der a meut;tl strain keep a roomful of patients waiting while he slept soundly in his private otli.ce for three minutes or five minutes, or as long ns he wish- ed. Then he would resume his duties, greatly refreshed. Another prominent physician has a queer habit of napping, although he only takes one a day and that directly after luncheon, which with him is a hearty meal. IIe repairs to his office and throws himself in n chair at a point where the polished wood floor is not covered by the rug. He holds a bunch of keys between the forefinger and thumb of his right hand, which is allowed to hang loosely over the arm of the chair. Then he dozes off, but it is never more than a doze, for the mo- ment his fingers relax the keys drop to the bare floor, acting as an alarm clock. It is sea-cely a nap—just a brief re- laxation of the rental and bodily faculties. The doctor calls it his siesta, and if he misses it he says be doesn't feel quite himself for the rest of the day.—Philadelphia Record. Charley's Aunt. Mr. Penley, otherwise Charley's Aunt, told the following: "A military man, a friend of Mr. Penley, took his daugh- ter to the stalls and, having a busy and tiring day, went calmly to sleep in his easy seat during the interval between the curtain raiser and 'Charley's Aunt.' The daughter sympathetically allowed him to remain in peace until the cur- tain went up for the commencement of the play of the everting; then she gen- tly nudged hila in, the ribs and whis- pered 'Charley's Aunt!' to remind 'aim of his whereabouts. "The gentleman still slept on, and his daughter trial gain. She gave her father an ,extra push and murmur- ed, with emphasis: 'Papa. do wake up! "Charley's Aunt!" ' "This time it was effectual, for the colonel leaped to his feet and cried, 'Bless me, so it is!' and began to sbake hands furiously with a demure old lady who happened to be passing along the stalls in front of him on the way to her allotted seat. 'Bless me, so it is! How do you do, madam? And bow is Char- ley?' "—London Answers. Russell and the Solicitor. It is said that once when the late Lord Russell, then Sir Charles, was on cir- cuit, he became so indignant with every one in general and his solicitor client in particular that he seized his large and heavy brief and smote the solicitor on the head with it. The solicitor indignantly collected his pa- pers and hurried out of court, mur- muring that he would never brief Sir Charles again. Some lima afterward a shipping magnate came to the same solicitor with a big case. "Brief Russell," he said. The solicitor said he was sorry, but it was impossible, as Russell had never apologized. "Then give me my papers," said the isipow•ner, "and I'll go to some one who will." Eventually the unhappy man of law, not wishing to lose his best client, had to apologize to Sir Charles Russell for leaving the court when assaulted.— Pearson's Weekly. "So On." Lady Dorothy Nevill is one of the wittiest women in London society. Some time ago there was a rich and ambitious man in society who went in for entertaining largely and especially for making his parties interesting and representative. A marked falling off began to take place after awhile in the quality of his guests. Lady Dor- othy, commenting on this deterioration, said, "Once we used to meet Brown- ing and Whistler and Henry James and so tib there; but now we only meet— so on."—Chambers' Journal. The Shipmaster's Cow. A certain farmer is telling mean things about a Rockland shipmaster. •'Tre shipmaster," he says, "bought a cow of a man down my way; good critter—nothin the matter with her. But it seems the captain's wife one day thought the milk tasted funny and segested that p'raps she'd been eatin spruce boughs; said the milk tasted like spruce. And what does be do but go out in the pasture to watch the cow, to see what she did eat. The cow was layin down, chewin her cud, and he went eriong and run his finger in her mouth to see what she was eat - 1n. Then he was mad. He put a rope on the cow and started off with her. He met a neighbor, who says, 'Where are you goin with the cow?' 'Goin to take her back to the feller that sold her to me. He's cheated me, and I won't stand it.' "The man wanted to know what was the matter, and he went on to tell about it and says: 'She wasn't eatin boughs, but she was chewin gum; that's what's•the matter with the milk and makes it taste like spruce. And,' he says, 'that ain't all She's so addict- ed to the habit that she's worn all her teeth out. She ain't got an upper tooth in her head. Back she goes, quick.' "Of course, the man told him that it was all nonsense—that cows never had no upper teeth. But he didn't believe a word of it and went on and had a tar - nal row with the man that sold him the cow. Guess be was never satisfied about it or knew what a darned fool he was makin of himself."—Rockland (Me., Opinion. Generous Great Britain. Britain's "earth hunger" is a common sneer on the continent, but look at what we have given away without the least reason! We took the Ionian islands in 1809 and handed them over to Greece for nothing about 50 years afterward. Corsica shows George III as its king, but we abandoned it three years later, and the French naturally grabbed it. Tangier came to us by the marriage of Charles II. We abandoned it at the end of 22 years. We took Cuba in 1762 and banded it back to the Spaniards, after holding it for 10 months. We took the Philip- pines and returned them to the same country for £800,000—which was never paid. Here is a short list of other places which we once held and gave up with- out compulsion; Minorca, Sicily, Sar- dinia, Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Java, Pondicherry, Celebes, Moluccas, Elba and about 50 other places. We took Cape Colony in 1795, but gave it up again to the Dutch. In 1806 we took it again—and kept it.—London Standard. The Coughing Bean. To the ordinary housemaid the fall- ing of a house plant into a violent paroxysm of coughing is naturally disconcerting. Yet there are plants which will do this when the broom or the duster begins to make dust fly. This singular plant is the "coughing bean," known to the botanist as the Entada tussiens. It is a native of warm and moist tropical countries and cannot and will not stand dust. When dust settles upon the breathing pores in the leaves of this plant and chokes them, a gas accumulates inside the leaves, and when it gains sufficient strength forcibly "blows off," clearing the pores of dust and making a sound exactly like coughing. At the same time the leaves tremble and the plant actually "gets red in the face," through the sinking of the green chlorophyll grains and the appearance of red par- ticles on the leaves. This plant is sometimes used as a house plant, and sweeping the room sets it coughing, to the intense astonishment of persons not familiar with its peculiarities. Missed His Guess. An American who was sojourning in Spain at the time says that on the day when Dewey was destroying the Span- ish squadron at Manila a representa- tive audience, including some of Spain's bravest and best, were attend- ing a patriotic bullfight in Madrid, applauding these words of the famous matadore: "With the ease with which I have killed this noble animal, the bull, will the glorious Spanish nation up- hold the traditions of the past and keep green the laurels of their illus- trious fathers by triumphing over the Yankee pig." The Only Thing. A man once wrote to a western law- yer for information in regard to a per- son who bad owed him a considerable sum of money for a long time. "What property has he which I could attach?" he asked. The lawyer's reply was brief and to the point: "The man died six months ago. He has left nothing subject to attachment save a widow."—Youth's Companion. A Smooth Answer. He—Do you think you really wanted a new dress now? She—You don't know anything about it.

"One winter, when things were rath- er slow in New York city—it was just before John L.'s time"—said the old pu- gilist, "we made up a little party and hired a hall in one of the fishing towns not far away. We advertised a prize of $10 for any one who could stay on his feet against our men for five rounds. It was safe money, although when two or three of the boats came in at the same time we had all we could handle. "Ilut one night a fellow as big as the side of a house came along, and we smelled trouble. We put him up against the heaviest man in our par- ty, who, though he only tipped the scales at 180 pounds, had two good hands and a head that you couldn't hurt with a piledriver. But the stran- ger was no slouch, and at the end of the fourth round we began to worry about the tenner. "The ring was on the stage at the front of the hall, and at the rear of the stage there were two windows. So I says to our man as I sponged his month, 'Work him over to one of the windows.' "It wasn't no easy job, but he did it before time was half up, and as the duffer backed up near the window he got a crack in the head from behind that dumped him in a heap. That's the way we saved our ten. "But the funny part of it is that our champeen had caught the local guy on the jaw the same moment, and we could never persuade him that it wasn't himself that secured the knock- out."—New York Sun. An Animated Parcel. Duncan Ross, the Scotch athlete, brought to New York with him some years ago a valuable bull terrier, fa- mous for the blue ribbons he had won in India. Mr. Ross lived across the Harlem river, but his business took him daily to the lower part of New York. Invariably he was accompanied to his office by the bull terrier. As it was known that he always came down town on the elevated railroad, his P. lends wondered, knowing the embar- go placed upon dogs, how he procured transit for the bull terrier. Their repeated questioning finally persuaded him to reveal the secret, and he invited them all to the office one evening just as he was starting for home. He took out of his desk a stout piece of wrapping paper and, opening It out flat, spread it on the floor. Then he whistled to the dog. and the bull terrier walked to the center of the pa- per and curled up in a limp lump. Mr. Ross then produced a piece of stout cord and made a very neat parcel of his pet and tucked it under his arm. "I have carried this parcel up and down town for two years," he said, "and no one has ever had the faintest suspicion of its animated contents. Clive is so well trained that he never makes a sound or moves a muscle. I leave a little opening at one end of the package, so that he has plenty of air." The Eagle and the Turkey. The turkey is our great national bird instead of the eagle, which I don't take much stock in. Turkeys are good to eat. Eagles are only fit to put as stamps on coin. The eagle is a raven- ous. vicious thief. There is nothing brave or good about the eagle. The eagle cannot be tamed and is of no earthly use to any one anywhere at any time or place. A hawk is braver than the eagle. If the eagle had the courage in proportion to his size of the sparrow, he would be a wonder. It was a mistake --a sad, pitiful blun- der—to make the -eagle our national bird. And a movement should be put on foot now to place the turkey on our coins and remove the eagle from where he has no business to be. A bird so useless should not be worshiped as the eagle is. The turkey is a handsomer and in every way a better bird. On al holiday occasions the turkey is our foremost fowl and furnishes the most amount of delicious food. Thanksgiv- ing and the Christmas holidays would be lonesome without the turkey.—Prac- tical Poultryman. Called His Papa Down. Little, Willy is a bright boy and a saucy boy. His apt answers have often turned away wrath and often turned it upon him strongly. The other day his father was reprimanding him for some misdeed, and Willy was answering very saucily. The father became very angry and, seizing the youngster by the collar, said: "See here, young man, you must not talk like that to me. I never gave my father impudence when I was a boy." Willy was not teased at all. With a cherubic smile be looked into papa's eyes and said, "But, papa, maybe your father didn't need it." 'Twas all off. Willy escaped punishment, while papa retired to another room.—Albany Jour- nal. In Trouble. Mrs. Turtledove—Do you know, dear, I'm afraid Harry does not love me the way he used to.

The pearly expanse of damask that infolded it was one of the Misses Dormond's most treasured possessions, saved out of a general wreck of family fortunes. The old fashioned silver, of those in- imitable patterns which no modern shop call supply, gleamed like irregu- larly shaped planets at intervals across the cloth. Moreover, a daffodil bulb cherished in window sill warmthhad obligingly thrown out a handful of blossoms. This pot. sheathed in yellow tissue pa- -per. made a thoroughly attractive cen- terpiece. is simply lovely," said 'Winifred, with a little sigh of relief and satisfac- tion. "I shau't be in the least afraid to have airs. Caulkington's eagle eye turned upon it. even_ though you are a candidate for.her secretaryship, Isabel, and so untelt does depend upon making a good impression." ••The house couldn't fail to make a 'good impression," Isabel broke in. "It Is Clean and sweet and old fashioned from top to toe. One can't say that a house has n. toe. There's just one thing. laelsing. I do wish we had -a good maid' to wait on.the table. I hate these _embarrassing breaks in a home luncheon where the hostess is obliged to cut off in the ruiddle of a sentence and bolt into the kitchen to bring the broiled squab course to table." "Yes. That's always wretchedly ern- bartassite-e.," Isabel agreed. "It's hard- er 'on the guests than the hostess too. However, there's no help for it. We don't keep a maid, and this suburb isn't a place wuere you can find a girl to call in for a day at a time. It's a pity, but it can't be helped." . "What is a pity, .but can't be helped?" demanded the youngest Miss Donuond, who pirouetted into the room just in time to hear the last half of. the sen- tence. "Isabel and I were lamenting that we didn't have a maid to serve the lunch- eon, Gertrude. We were saying how desperately embarrassing it is for a hostess to jump up to reinove the plates after a course and to bring the next course to table." "I never thought of that," Gertrude acquiesced in a disappointed tone. "Our entertitin.iug has always been so informal we're likely to make the guests change the plates and bring in the courses from the kitchen them- selves. But it's true, as you say, that kind Of thing won't do when we're en- tertaining -Mrs. Caulkington. She's so cetical that her eyes burn holes in anything they fall on. We wouldn't mind her little peculiarities if she were merely an acquaintance, but if Isabel is going to demand a big, fat salary she must make a big, fat impression. sure Mrs. Caulkiugton would cut her down halfif she knew how poor we are and how badly we need that secretary- ship. Something must be done." "Gertrude, dear, you know perfectly \well that nothing can be done. There are only two hours left, and in any case you can't secure a girl here in the coun- try to come in for just one day." "I know that, but whisht, my dear! An idea dawns In my brain! Let it mature!" "An idea for what? For getting us a maid?" "Yes. my dear -a ready maid, so to :Teak." "Silly! Do you think Isabel and I have time to waste upon your vapor - "A ready maid -no, a maid to order! Don't talk 1. me for three mingtes. I feel the Idea grow in my cerebrum, and It really is a good one." .. The young lady sat down in the little oaken window seat and burled her face In Iser hands. Three tuinutes later she sprang Up and pirouetted triumphantly around the charming table. "Huzza! I've solved the problem," she' cried. "And I'll stand for it that you shall have a maid to serve Mrs. Caulkington's luncheon. A stunning maid, well trained, light footed, soft voiced; a maid who will- not send so much as one plate of raw oysters down the back .of your guest; who will do things without diagrams and will not cause the downfall and destruction of precious willow pattern china. In fact, the maid I propose to offer you will be an explanatory key with copious Illus- trations to the entire servant question." Gertrude's sisters were very -far from despising the girl's refdy imagination. It had often helped to solve an econten- iceproblem which they themselves had abandoned in despair. But this crisis of the maid, to order seemed consider- ably beyond Gertrude even, and they frankly announced themselves skep- tics. "Do you mean to look for your re- markable maid here in the suburb or elsewhere?" they demanded. "I shall procure her in the city, or, rather, I shall go on a trip to the city, and I will send the maid to you in my absence." "But, Gertrude! if you leave now for the city you won't--ve tinte, child, to get back for Mrs. Caulkingtdn's luncheon." "I'M not afraid, but I'm glad of an excuse to absolve . myself. I'm in awe of Mrs. Caulkington, and I tremble before the glare of her lorgnetles. You can make my excuses to rrs. Caulk- ington and tell her that I'Was obliged to go into the city on Iressing busi- ness." It seemed an injustice that Gertrude 7 es4e`e`ases\ e)*(esees\ise ' should not be there to witness the suc- cess of the occasion for which they had all worked so hard. The older girls reasoned, pleaded, rep- resented, but Gertrude stood firm. • * • • * * • Mrs. Caulkington's critical eyes were already boring boles in the drawing room furniture, and the luncheon hour • was but three minutes in the future. Isabel, in her prettiest silk waist, was arranging the oyster plates upon the table preliminary to ushering their guest into the dining room. Suddenly a purling of gingham skirts brushed the silence of the place, and a soft voice sco,,,-led in Isabel's ear. "If yo' plert, miss," said the voice, "Miss Gertrude done send me. I am de maid to ordah." "Good gracious!" shrieked Isabel un- der her breath. She started back, the oyster plate In her hand narrowly es- caping calamity. She said "Good gracious" once more, and very fervently, when she turned, ' for there, not a yard from her side, waiting tobe assigned to her duties, stood the most desirable of colored , waitresses. She was tall, well poised and, bar- ring her skin, a strikingly handsome young woman. her pink gingham gown fitted to perfection and closely resembled one worn by Gertrude for tuornings on the porch. Her dainty ruffled apron was strikingly like one which Isabel herself wore while sew- ing. Perched saucily in her black, rip- ply hair she wore a bit of a cap, which, when examined at close range, seemed to be nothing more than a tuft of white lace cleverly pinned. Isabel took a second look at her new acquisition and dropped into a chair. laughing weakly. "Miss Gertrude done send me, miss," the maid repeated softly, "an she said fo' yo' to jest go set in de pariah an leave all de servin to me." "Oh, Gertrude, Gertrude!" gurgled Is- abel. "What nonsense won't that child attempt?" The luncheon was faultlessly served. Never was waitress quicker, lighter, soffer, more all seeing, more graceful. Even the critical Mrs. Caulkington was impressed. Afterward, when the luncheon party had adjourned to the drawing room, the guest deliberately led around to the subject of domestics. "Do you find it as hard to get good girls in the suburbs as we deep the city?" she asked. "I imagine n'at, for that young waitress of yours is perfec- tion itself." "Well, good girls are very scarce here," answered Isabel, "and I've no doubt we'd have endless trouble if we had to change. But, you see, we have raised Anna ourselves. She knows our own ways and suits us perfectly. We've had her for more than ten years. I know she'll never leave us -unless, of course, she marries and has a home Of her own." "My dear girl, you simply have a treasure," cried the visitor, with warmth,. 'If I were in your place, I would shiver at the very thought of losing her. And, do you know, since I've seen how perfectly your little table is arranged and served I'm really afraid of, what Miss Isabel will think when she comes to me in the city. I hope you will close your eyes to a number of things in my housekeeping, Miss Isa- bel." "Oh, I am not critical, Mrs. Caulking - ton," laughed Isabel. "And every one knows bow hard it is to get maids like Anna nowadays." -What to Eat. Neglected Dryden. Notwithstanding Lowell's high praise of Dryden's prose works and the accu- sation he brings against literary plun- derers of this magnate of letters 200 years ago, few people except scholars now ever open Dryden's essays, though they are well worth careful perusal and study, in spite of Swift's malicious and witty lines: Read all the prefaces of Dryden, For these our critics much confide in, Though merely writ at first for filling To raise the volume's price a shilling. There is truth as well as wit in this characterization, for Dryden was in some respects but a literary hack, al- though .a man of genius. But, being a genius, it was impossible for him to write anything, however carelessly and slipshod, without something finding its way in that will arrest the reader's at- tention even yet, after the lapse of two centuries. Unlike the other and small- er literary hacks of his time, whatever Dryden wrote he wrote freely, and there is an absence of cramped formu- las and of pedantic utterances, as a rule, which is interesting. Even in his shilling prefaces to which Swift al- ludes the reader will have no difficulty in discovering a man of genius, one of many lovable traits and great charac- teristics, and at least Dryden's own likings and judgments are set forth pleasantly and frequently in a convinc- ing manner. He, is one of the old writ- ers that weary moderns given up to novel reading could profitably turn back to and peruse to their own great advantage. -Exchange. The Benefit of the Doubt. Not long ago a young lady was spending some weeks at a Scotch country house, and just before dinner one evening two cousins of the host - one of them the great man of the fam- ily -arrived unexpectedly. Shortly be- fore dinner was announced the but- ler sought the young lady and said to her confidentially: "We're puttin on yesterday's soup, an for fear there shouldna be enough, ye maun decline." "Decline soup!" exclaidned the young lady, much amused. "But, you know, John, that wouldn't be manners." "Naf said John coolly; "but they'll think ye ken nae better." -London Tit - Bits.

TWENTIETH CENTURY CONFECTIONS OF COSTLY ELEGANCE. Splendor of Evening Dream as It Has Conte In With the Opera Seam., New Colors- Large Gold Roses n Fad In Millinery -The Coiffure, Etc. Figure is more _important than face' losvadays, and skirts and bodices alike for evening dresses are fitted with rare skill, though young debutantes are wearing diaphanous materials, flounced horizontally or tucked perpendicularly, the full bodice being confined at the waist with a soft sash, which falls in long ends at the back. The sleeves are ' Infinitesimal. a wisp of lace, ft rose or so, or maybe a butterfly bow of ribbon -that is, for full dress and the many ball gowns that will be wern as the season advances. The new dragee tones or bonbon colors, such as Marie Antoinette af- fected at the Trianon, are the fashion ID Paris and in England, and many.' evening dresses for dinner wear are being made in very fine soft cloth of these shades, triumuel with fur and lace. It is a splendid tioundation for gold embroidery, which is all one can With Conveniences For an Agitating Season In the Household Calendar. The soul stirring season of "spring sewing" which forehanded and thrifty women often inaugurate in February or concurrcptty with the comparative leisure of lett Is near enough in the household perspective to give tangible iuterest to the following sensible sug- gestions from The Household: With a large family a sewing room is almost a uecessity. At least there should be ,Pottle place where cutting, fitting and making can go on undisturbed. The dining room is frequently taken for Ibis purpose if there is no regular sew- ing room, because of the large table, but there is always more or less un- tidluess trhere there is sewing, and this is nut desirable during mealtime; therefore it entails much work in pick- ing up" three tittles a day. The sewing Nom need not be a large one. A ball bedroom that is not needed as 0 s sing apartment will be all right for the purpose. It should be uncarpeted, so that it may be easily kept clean. Do not put any draperies at the win- dowSfor you will need all the light you can get for sewing. A shade is neces- sary to protect from the glare of the sun if on the south side of the house. If there is a eloset in the room, it will be found of great convenience in stow- ing away patterns, dress materials, etc. If there is no closet, have a set of shelves built along one side of the room; also hooks for hanging clothes and finished work. Keep one of the shelves for fashion books and paper patterns. Here may also be kept but- tons. hooks and eyes, sewing cotton, spool Silk, whalebones, etc. Make a ease for hanging on the door of the sewing .room or on the closet door. This case should be of ticking, denim or ether strong material. Make the case t se) yards long and one yard wide. Divide the case into eight pock- ets and mark each one with the name of whatever belongs in it. Cotton dress material, woolen dress material, pieces of woolen for mending, now cotton cloth. old cotton cloth, linings and cam- bric. canvas and crinoline- whatever will come in use for family mending or sewing. A form upon which to hang and drape skirts will be found a great convenience in .the sewing room. These forms are made of wire, also of rattan. They can be kept in the.4orner or in a dote wheenot in use. Another Article which is a necessity An a sewing room is a large.serapbasket for catching the scrape and cuttings in sewing. This should stand beside the sewing chair and will save much pick- ing up afterward. The other furnish- ings of a sewing room should be the necessities only -a large table for cut- ting out the work, a folding table, lap board. sewing chairs, sewing machine and a vilest of drawers or set of There should be a large sheet always at hand for spreading on the floor, ei- ther to catelt the cuttings or protect the bottom of a. light colored skirt when trying on. There should aistebe a long mirror. tipped a little to show the en- tire figure if not long enough to reflect it when hung fiat against the wall. EVENING CLOAK OF TAFFETA. desire. when it is light. Paris is affect- ing various shades of gray. Ropes or roses tied up with chiffon find 8 place on the side of' the skirt. and chiffon gowns are often scattered with floral lea res. Taking it altogether, the ideal even- ing dress is of soft chiffon or lace bear- ing umftitudinous frills. a little diver. sity of this scheuti. being noticeable in trimmings of graduating rows of vel- vet. while the empire gown. with belts of wondrous embroidery. has a large shore c,f popularity, perhaps the moat conspicuous feature beiug the favor ac- corded to pantie. Panne is used for these empire gowns. which under their most elegem aspect may be found dec- orated with garlands of chiffoe roses, with perhaps a diamond twinkling on the petals. The gold fever rages with unabated fury, the latest idiosyncrasy of the hour being 'gold flowers made of trellis and wire perched up aloft on the sable toques. while there is an epidemic of gold ferrets or tags to cravats and belts. Full grown. many petaled gold roses are exploited by those who affect smart millinery. The millinery rose trails - forms an ordinary bat into a chic one. It is generally made of golden tissue mingled with green foliage. but It wants a first rate milliner to make it a PARIS REDINGOTR. Mem, and it is prettiest when soften- ed by white lace, and so are the cloth of gold yokes, toques and low bodice trimmings.

On one -leaf of the sheet of paper is the invitation; on the other, to be torn off and returned to the send- er, is a printed form, or rather a double Von, either refusing or accepting. This serves as a delicate reminder to care- less people that "an early answer will oblige." Menus are printed on a kind of transparent parchment paper, the mouogram or crest on a medallion in the corner. Another form of menu is long and narrow and inclosed in an envelope to correspond, in which is the name of the guest. Thus name cards and menus are combined for each per- son. Items of the Modes. More striking than pretty are the broad bands of gold braid on bright colored cloth waistcoats to fur coats, and with justice the same may be said of the gold belts when allied to sable or broadtail jackets, the only permis- sible trimmings to fur being fur of an- other description, or old lace and gold lace. All our fashions point to one fact, that a good dressmaker is almost indis- pensable. It Is a waste of effort to dream of any amateur -attempts at making good gowns for any dressy occasion. s We are unwilling to banish from our regard the tightly fitting skirt, but it is noticeable now that this flares out considerably from the knees to the hem, while iae shaped flounce, which is innocent of fullness, finishes the skirt of fashion from the knees. Gold tinsel Is a fabric which does ..not lend itself to draping or to folds. It should be flat, and it looks its best when concealed beneath lace or net, or the like diaphanous fabric. Ermine continues very popular, re- vers and collars of this decorating many of the black fur coats and put- ting in an eppearance on capes special- ly, designed for evening wear. Messed the Mune.

Soule of the latest party dresses for young girls are of white China silk made with side plaited skirts, the plaits beginning at either side of the front and being pressed, not stitched, in. Rows of narrow gold braid are sewed around above the hem and also encircle the belt, collar band and waistband. The bodice is also plaited. The yoke of plain silk is well covered with ap- plique designs of cluny lace, the silk being cut out underneath, and the un- dersleeves are of plaited white gauze. Mousseline de sole. In the pale tints of green, pink and blue is another effect- ive material for a youthful gown. Chi- na silk gowns trimmed lavishly with valenciennes lace insertion of mechlin lace, with narrow black velvet ribbon run through the spaces, are especially pretty for the party dress. Lace, edged frills finish the hem, and runs of inser• tion, with wide spaces between, are set CHINA SILK WITH VELVET BOLERO. In around the entire length of the skirt Sleeves to the elbow are the propel length, aud they are finished with 0 frill. Cashmere and veiling in pale colon also make very pretty party gowns with a fancy yoke and undersleeves of lace, mousseline or thin, finely tuckee silk either in white or sotne pale colot if the gown Is gray. One pretty mode ID veiling is striped around from shout ders to the hem with guipure lace in sertion run through black velvet rib- bon. The sleeves are made entirely ol the insertion In vertical lines, ending at the elbow! where the velvet ribbon if tied, in small bows, the loops and end failing over the arms as a finish. Whit( chiffon gowns are effectively trimmee with black velvet ribbon and wort. with colored sashes of chiffon or nous padour ribbon. The little empire frockt with guimpes of lace, tuousseline or sill are very quaint, and then there are tilt little embroidered boleros of velvet ot velveteen, as shown in the illustratiou. worn over the white china silk frocks. Taffeta silk in delicate tints is yen popular for the older girls. A graceful dancing dress is made of pale greet.' accordion plaited china silk with von dyke insertions of fine guipure lace rut with baby ribbons, and the fichu is oi green chiffon. Pretty collars of lace insertion set ir between bands of tinely tucked silk ca mousseline are a good finish for bodice* and form all trimming necessary. That are variously shaped, but one of tht prettiest points down nearly to tla belt at either side of the front, roundo across the back, meets the sleeve al the shoulder and fits up closely around the collar band. A narrow frill of lace edges it all around. One point in chit. dren's fashions for girls of 10 years of age is the downward dip at the waist line in front, and the smilei girls simulate this by lengthening the waist all around, says the New York Sun in conclusion to these fashions for children.

"2 can't for the life of me see," re- marked an Englishman during the course of conversation with Nat Good- win once, "what people mean by Amer- ican humor. To me all humor is alike, whether it be of American or English origin. Perhaps you can explain to me just what distinguishes American Mr' mor from any other sort?' "Well," replied Mr. Goodwin, 'I think the American type of humor is rather more subtle. It doesn't always fully Impress itself upon you at once. The more you think about it the funnier it seems. I can perhaps best Mustrate my meaning with a little story. "A man was walking along the street one day when he passed another man who was carrying a letter in his hand. "'Pardon me,' said the man with the letter. `Do you know where the post - °Mee Is?!. "'Yes,' said the other man anjiP pass - fed on. On second thought he decided that he had been'rude and went back to where the man with the letter was still standing. "'130 you wish to know where the postoffIce bay he asked. "No,' said the other man." The Englishman's gaze was vacant "Just turn it over in your mind for a few minutes and tell me what you think of it," said Hr. Goodwin. Ten minutes later the Englishman clutched at Mr. Goodwin's elbow. "You won't be offended, will you, old chap?" he murmured.

He went to spend the night with a friend. During the entire night he betrayed much restlessness, which kept the host wide awake, and finally the slumberer betrayed signs of violent emotion. "He's going to have a, nightmare," said the friend, "but he always grumbles so_, when you wake him up that I hate to disturb him." He waited awhile lon- ger, sitting up in bed staring on the miserable sleeper, and finally, becom- ing alarmed, he roused him. He sprang up in bed, glared wildly around and said: "Where am I? I don't see the storm." "Why, here in my room," said the host 'soothingly. "You remember you staid all night with me? I beg your pardon for waking you up, but you car- ried on so I had to." "Beg your pardon," gasped the guest. "I shall never be grateful enough to you. I dreamed .f was out with Miss Bud, and a terrible storm came up, and my shoes were new, and I was just ordering a coupe for two when you roused me. Old boy, you have saved me a dollar." And the host says he was actually afraid to go to sleep again that night for fear the coupe would come. -Louis- ville Times. A Social Ambiguity. He had hoped to be asked to take her in to dinner, but to his great disap- pointment that duty fell to somebody else. And so until the men arose to let the women file out he could only gaze at her from afar and be politely stupid to the woman next him. He had never met her before, but somehow they seemed to know each other very well by the time they had spoken a few words in the course of the short wait before the guests paired off on their way to the dining room. He didn't know what she thought of him, but be knew that from hie point of view she was about right. And he 'was a man difficult to please. The men seemed to him to linger over their cigars an interminable time. At last they trooped to the drawing room. He sought her out. "How did you get along?" he asked. "To tell you the truth," she said frankly, and her frankness was charm- ing, "I have been bored to death. Have you been?" "Yes," he said. "Isn't it a pity," she remarked, "that we didn't get the chance to be bored in 140 fldhses com.PaniF .1,11..11414........1.11.1111•1111=111111 11•1•1111•111•1110. -1'1101 011••••••••••• 12. • IT ivtorictlSociety �AI►NNEspT A ,tom it sou. t f FHE HASiiNGS VOL.

Economical and Cheap 'launfacture — Light Produced Bent Class Tubes Without Wir An Ideal Form of Illumination. ikola Tesla has given to the N York Sun an authorized statement co ferning his new experiments on t production. of light without the aid wires. Mr. Tesla says: "This light is the result of contin ▪ ous efforts since my early experiment demonstrations before scientific soc ties here and abroad. In order to ma it suitable for commercial use I had overcome great difficulties. One. these was to produce from ordina currents • of supply electrical oscill tions of enormous rapidity in a situp and economical manner. This, I a glad to say, I have now accomplishe and the results show that with th new form of light a higher economy peneticable than with the present ill 111iaants. The light offers, beside many specific advantages, not the lea of which is found in its hygienic pro erties. It is, I believe, the closest a proaeh to daylight which has yet bee reached from any artificial source. -The lamps are glass tubes whic be bent in any ornamental wa The total illuminating surface of lamp is from 300 to 400 square incise The ends of the spiral tube are cove • ed with a metallic coatingand provi ed with hooks for hanging the lamp o the terminals of the source of oscill tion.. The tube contains gases rarefie to a certain degree, determined in th course of long experimentation as be- ing conducive to the best results. "The process of light production i according to my views, as follows: Th street current is,passed through a in chine which is an electrical oscillato of peculiar construction and tran forms the supply current, be it diree or alternating, Into electrical oseilla tions of a very high frequency. Tiles oscillations, coming to the metallicall coated ends of the glass tube, produc in the interior corresponding electrica oscillations, which set ,the molecule and atoms of the inclosed rarefied gas es into violent commotion, causin them to vibrate at enormous rates an emit those radiations which we know as light. The gases are not rendered in candescent in the ordinary sense, for 1 it were so they would be hot, like an Incandescent filament. As a matter o fass there Is very little heat noticeable which speaks well for the economy o the light, since all beat would be loss. "This high economy results chiefly from three causes: First, from the high rate of the electrical oscillations; see ond, from the fact that the entire tigh giving body. being a highly attenuated gas, is exposed and can throw out its radiations unimpeded, and. third, be cause of the smallness of the particles eomposing the light giving body, in consequence of which they can be quickly thrown into a high rate of vi bratton, so that comparatively little en- ergy is lost in the lower or heat vibra- tions. An important practical advan- tage is that the lamps need not be re- newed likethe ordinary ones. as there is nothing in them to consume. The il- luminating power of each .of these lamps is. measured by the photometric method. (about 50 candle power, but I can make them of any power desired up to :;:; t of several arc lights. It is a sea:ar a las, feature of the light that during the day it can scarcely be seen, whereas at night the whole room is brilliantly illuminated. When the eye • becomes used to the lightof these tubes, an ordinary incandescent lamp or gas burner produces a violent pain in the eye when it is turned on, showing in a striking manner to what a degree these concentrated sources of light which we now use are detrimental to the eye. "1 have found that in almost all its actions the light produces the same ef- fects as sunlight. -and this makes me hopeful that its introduction into dwell- ings will have the effect of improving in a measure now impossible to esti- mate the hygienic conditions. "The lamps are very cheap to manu- facture, and by the fact that they need pot be exchanged like ordinary lamps or burners they are rendered still less expetasive. The chief consideration is, of course, in commercial introduction the energy consumption. While 1 am not yet prepared to give exact figures, I can say that, given a certain quanti- ty of electrical energy from the mains, 1 can produce more light than can be produced bythe ordinarymethods. In introducing this system of lighting my transformer, or oscillator, will be usu- ally located at some convenient place itt the basement, and from there the transformed currents will be led as usual through the building. The lamps can be run with one wire alone. as 1 fare shown in my early demonstra- tions, and in some cases I can dispense entirely with the wires. I hope that ul- timately we shall get to this Ideal form of illumination and that we shall have in our rooms lamps which will be set aglow no matter where they are plat ed. just as an object is heated by heat rays emanating from a stove. Tin tamps will then behandled like koro ke ne lamps, with this difference. how e er. that the energy will be conveyed Brough space. The ultimate perfee tion of apparatus for the production o electrical oscillations will probably wring us to this great realization. and then we shall finally have the light without heat or 'cold' light. I have r difficulty now to illuminate the ro with such wireless lamps. but a nn ber of improvements must be made ss before it can be eenerally introduced" i` UNCLE. SAM'S DISPLAY. G ment Exhibit at the Pan- American Exposition. The United States government has appropriate,. $500.000 for an exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition at Buf- falo next summer.

They are much more beautiful than those of the gov- ernment group tit the Columbian Expo- sition, while the space for exhibition purposes is but little less than was oc- 1 G,J 410ADRIGA FOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING. cupied there. The display to be made by the department of agriculture will be of great value and interest to those concerned in the agricultural, horticul- tural and live stock industries, com- prehending as it will all their varied features. The workings of the differ- ent bureaus of the department of state will be illustrated by means of blanks, sample letters, circular letters, etc., and much can be learned by the people of the manner of Intercourse between the United States and other nations. The coining of money will be a feature of the exhibit by the treasury department. Here a coin press will be in operation, coining money at the rate of 90,000 coins per hour, each coin being struck with a force equal to the weight of 100 tons. Collectors will be especially interest- ed in the government's very complete collection of coins of all nations, a com- plete set of medals struck by the mint at Philadelphia and a complete series of currency Issued by the government. Included In this exhibit will be a model of a lighthouse, fully equipped and in operation; a model of a quarantine sta- tion, models of marine hospital oper- ating rooms and a model of a vessel constructed for deep sea sounding. Up- on the shore of the Park Lake will be a life saving station, completely equip- ped with up to date apparatus, while the means employed in the saving of llfe on the sea will be daily illustrated by a captain and crew of two men with life and surf boats, with their ap- purtenances. The exhibits of the war and navy de- partments will be the largest and most complete ever made at any exposition. ELBERT L. LEWIS. EXPOSITION SCULPTURE. Pan-American Ha■ the Best Ever Seen at a Show. In its sculptural adornment, as well as in several other respects, the Pan American Exposition will far surpass any enterprise of the kind ever held. There are over 125 splendid original groups. and they are to be used around the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade and the Electric Tower. They will symbolize the purposes of the build logs and exhibits and bring out the poetry in what to many may seem ex- ceedingly prosaic things. After crossing the Triumphal Bridge, which is the grand formal entrance to the main court and is itself to be dee orated witb splendid statuary, one will see to the right and left, at opposite ends of the Esplanade, the fountains and the sunken gardens in front of the United States Government and Horti- culture buildings respectively. The Fountain of Man, by Charles Grafly, is the central fountain at the east of the Esplanade, and it is flanked by the Fountain of Prometheus and the Fountalp of Hercules. The sub- jects of other fountains in this group will be the Savage Age, the Despotic Age and the Age of Enlightenment. At the other end of the Esplanade the Fountain of Nature, by George T. Brewster, Is the most elaborate sculp- tural adornment, and the idea of this fountain is amplified in minor ones, such as the I r o i tinlQ n of Kr duos, Foun- tain of Ceres and the groups typifying Mineral Wealth, Animal Wealth, etc. These symbolic ideas will be worked out in beautiful forms In other parts of the main court and in connection with the Electric Tower and other buildings, the whole forming a most complete and harmonious expression of the purposes of a great Exposition, such as the Pan- American. Exposition Postoface. The United Stites government post - office department will occupy a larger space at the Pan-American Exposition than was ever before devoted to it at an exposition. The methods of mail transportation will be fully illustrated, and a postoffice equipped with all the latest devices used In the larger post - offices In the United States will be a feature of the exhibit.

After nearly 30 years of constant effort and great expenditure it is as- certained that the earth's diameter through the equator is 7,926 miles; its height from pole to pole 7,899 miles. THE LIBERAL ARTS. NOTABLE EXHIBIT TO BE MADE AT THE PAN-AMERICAN. Vast Field Covered by the Exhibit and the Methods to Be Followed 1n Its Illustration at the Exposition at Buffalo Next Summer. The building which is to house the exhibit in manufactures and liberal arts at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo will be one of the most im- posing in the splendid group surround- ing the Court of Fountains. This build- ing is 500 by 350 feet, with a central court and having a dome 70 feet in di- ameter over the entrance on the south. Manufactured products and those il- lustrating the liberal arts are so closely allied that they naturally are classified in the same general group, and at the great expositions of recent years they have been housed under the same roof. Under the general classification of lib- eral arts are included such subjects as those of education and social economy, books, periodicals,, scientific apparatus, hygiene and sanitation, musical instru- ments, public works, civil engineering, constructive architecture, photographs and photographic supplies, medical, dental and surgical apparatus and oth- er branches of intellectual activity. In- deed it is the most progressive and no- ble of the tendencies and achievements of this age of enlightenment and civili- zation which are represented in the ex- hibits of this division of a great expo- sition. The work of collecting and classify- ing the Liberal Arts exhibit for the Pan-American Exposition is now well under way and is in charge of Dr. Se- lim H. Peabody, whose successful han- dling of the same division at the great Columbian Exposition of 1893 marks him as the best qualified man on the American continent for the discharge of such a task. The exhibits of the Liberal Arts divi- sion as well as those of other depart- ments will be concentrated and repre- sentative rather than vast in extent and exhaustive in scope. Most gratify: Ina progress has been made since the World's Fair at Chicago in methods of education in the public schools, univer- sities and colleges of the United States and other Pan-American countries. The educational exhibit will give special attention to exemplifying this great progress and showing the present state of our educational institutions. It is the intention to have models prepared representing the equipments of schools, colleges and universities. The exhibit made by the United States In the Paris exposition will be removed to Buffalo for the Pan-American and will be sup- plemented with additional exhibits. Closely related to the educational ex- hibit will be those In social economy and in hygiene and sanitation. Under the head of social economy will be in- cluded such subjects as charities and correction, co-operative associations and trades unions. apprenticeship and child labor, protection of workingmen in factories and mines, workingmen's dwellings. etc. The division of sanitation and hygi- ene is one of great practical inapor- homes in tenement diatrlets of great cities. O? Interest to the same connec- tion will be the exhibit showing what is being done to the way of public baths by the progressive city of Brook- line, Mass. The exhibit of public works will be closely related to that of hygiene and sanitation, and among its features will be a model of the Chicago drainage ca- nal and a large model also of the city of Boston and its vicinity within a radius of 12 miles. I have not space now to speak of the exhibits of photographs and photo- graphic supplies, of piano fortes and other musical instruments and of other features of the Liberal Arts exhibit, in- teresting though these will be. The whole field will be covered in a way to bring out tbe most attractive and ed- ucational side of the subjects illustrat- ed. EDWARD HALE BRE9a, POULTRY SHOW. Splendid Exhibit to Be Made at the Pan-American Exposition. In planning a great Exposition of the magnitude of the Pan-American, to be held in Buffalo next summer, where all the great industries of the United States will be represented by exhibits which will be of the best quality and cbe"ac- ter that can be produced, the w�.,in of the management is shown in the magnificent preparations that are be- ing made for the Division of Live Stock. In no line of breeding domestic ani- mals has greater strides been made than in the poultry industry, and, while the interest taken in the Live Stock Di- vision of the Exposition by prospective exhibitors is very encouraging, the poultrymen of the United States and Canada are manifesting an interest that is truly phenomenal. The poultry- men in the past few years have seen the industry double many times until today it exceeds In value any single farm crop. The annual sale of eggs, poultry and faney birds for breeding purposes in the United States and Can- ada exceeds $1,000,000,000. The pro- posed show at the Pan-American will be fully adequate to the great interests involved. The time of this show will be most propitious to the fanciers—Oct. 21-31—and the accommodations will be all that are desired. The stables. cov ering ten acres, will all be devoted to the poultry and pet stock show. To Know Your r-iower, If one has tried on many of the flower coiffures she will soon learn, re- marks an exchange, that there are be- coming flowers regardless of color be- comingness. and the reverse. Some are in sympathy with our heads and faces, others are nut. A single flower of pro- nounced size is par excellence for some heads and faces, an added charm, while to others a monstrosity out of line and rhythm. There are heads and faces only fitted for the finest of feathery blossoms, ethers for small but very decided floral specimens, and still others for spiked blooms rather than rounr disks in flower. Then, again,' there are faces born for roses only, and faces and heads there are for strong, violent colors, in yellow and reds. To know your flower is a gift not to be despise.] whenever floral coiffures are la mode.

Indeed it may perhaps be said tbat the subject has become almost a science in itself, and certainly in its relations to the daily life of the people its impor- tance cannot be too much emphasized. The exhibit at the Pan-American Ex- position, which is under the immediate supervision of Dr. Jacob S. Otto, an au- thority In this branch of science, will comprise such subjects as physical cul- ture, and the apparatus used in various Institutions for this purpose—hospitals and dispensaries, boards of health—and their functions, foods. their chemiatry, preservation and adulteration; mechan- ical methods of sanitation and sanitary architecture. The improved methods introduced into municipal departments in recent years will be shown as graph- ically as possible. In many cases mod- els will be used for this purpose.

Formerly the whole busine was conducted largely by "rule thumb." instead of a vocation requ ing a certain apprenticeship it is fa becoming an exact science, in whi chemistry and bacteriology play no i significant part. The increasing inte est and attendance at the various dal schools throughout the United Stat and Canada, the existence of great c operative and commercial organiz tions for the manufacture and sale dairy products. is an undisputable to timony to the achievements of moder science. In this great industry th government has appropriated va sums of money to help the dairyman his work, and this is indicative of i importance as a factor of the gre food problem of the world. The territorial lines of the dairy be have long since been annihilated. few states and provinces in the east n longer enjoy the exclusive distinctio of being in the dairy sections. In th Dairy building at the Exposition spec bas already been asked for by Main and California, Manitoba and Texa The supposed disdvantages of soil, w ter. climate and food in portions o North America have largely been elim hutted by the skillful dairyman, and t day splendid representatives of dair animals are found wherever the whol esomeness and nutritive value of mil products are known. Few people have any adequate con ception of the present magnitude of th dairy industry. In the United State and Canada there is one dairy cow t every four persons. or 20.000,000 cows The annual milk production is esti mated at $550,000,000. Add to this til value of dairy cows. $650.000,000. an we have $1,200,000,000,, To this ad the Investments In dairy appliances and we reach a grand total of $2.000. 000,000 invested in this great industry in the United States and Canada. Tb great countries to the south of us, Cen tral and South America, are eager fo American dairy products, and with more people from these countries visit Mg the Exposition in 1901 than have visited the United States and Canada in the past half century the great com merctal opportunity to exhibitors of Dairy Products and Supplies needs no further comment. A large, beautiful building located near the Agricultural building will be devoted exclusively to Dairy Products and Dairy Apparatus. All the milk products will be exhibit- ed In glass cases properly refrigerated or the purpose of maintaining as tar s possible the texture and quality of the products on exhibition. Exhibitors whose products form a portion of their state or provincial displays will not be barged for exhibit space. but indt- [dual exhibitors will be charged 81.50 er square foot for space occupied. The exhibit of Dairy Appliances will mbody all the recent inventions and mprovements made in this industry, neluding sterilizers, pasteurizers, sepa- rators, coolers, churns, etc. Electric power will be furnished in he buildin should exhibitors bitora desire g to emonatrate the work of their ma- hines for the benefit of the visitors. The exhibit in the Dairy division will e a selective one and in point of at - activeness, interest and utility will urpass anything ever before attempt - d. A Model Dairy, composed of repre- entatives of all the breeds, will be in aeration during the entire Exposition for the purpose of determining an far s possible the cost of production and he adaptability of certain breeds to pedal lines of dairy work.

In every borne there is some one wbo asks off with things that belong to e others.—Atchison Globe. Peculiarities of Crime. One of the strangest peculiarities of human nature is its inclination to imitate the misdeeds of others. Crime is epidemical. A particularly dreadful murder, the details of which are set forth in all the newspapers, often has the effect of inducing similar crimes. One o' the reasons, and probably the chief reason, why public executions were abolished in England, was that instead of acting as a deterrent the execution had the contrary effect of inciting to murder. In 1885 a woman of Geneva, named Lombardi, killed her four children. She admitted that she had been read- ing of a woman who killed her hus- band, and the very circumstantial ac- count had made her wish to imitate the crime, but as her husband was dead she killed the children. This is only one instance out of hundreds which have come to our notice. The infectious nature of self murder receives a striking testimony in the following incident: Dr. Oppenheim of Hamburg had to examine the body of a man who had cut his throat and had died after some d s of suffering. The medico told hisssistant that death would have been immediate if the man had made the cut in a way which he illustrated, and he was startled two days later to learn that his assistant had attempted to commit suicide by lacerating himself in that very manner. The man admitted that he had never thought of suicide until the day of the examination and the doctor's remark.— London Globe. Some Nice Royal Jobs. "One of the most desirable posts at Windsor castle," says a correspondent of the Chicago Record, "is that of 'the king's limner,' who in ancient times decorated books and manuscripts with initial letters and who now prepares the parchment commissions when his majesty is pleased to confer knight- hood or some other honor upon one of his subjects. The man who now fills the post has extraordinary skill with the pen and brush, and his diploma, and certificates were greatly admired for their exquisite taste and skillful execution. He receives a salary of $2,500 a year. The clockmaker at Windsor castle receives the same com- pensation, and it is his business to keep all the timepieces in repair. The his- toriographer, who Is supposed to keep a record of events, holds a hereditary office, with a salary of $2,500 a year The master of music receives $1,506 and arranges concerts for his majesty's diversion. The surveyor of pictures is paid $1,500, the librarian receives $2.- 500, the examiner of plays $1,600, the keeper of the swans is paid $300, and the bargemaster, who looks after the boats used by the royal family at Windsor. has a similar compensation." Something Which He Learned. A soft answer has not only the effect of turning away wrath. It may serve to avenge an injury. Years ago the Rev J. H. Jones was making a visit in Bos ton and attended a biweekly confer- ence at Divinity hall. Just at tha, time be was out of sorts with the east, and his address reflected an acrid mood. Especially did be insist that "They didn't know everything down in Judee or even in Cambridge." When he sat down, there was a mo- mentary hush, and then the late Dean Everett slowly rose. He began in his, usual soft and hesitating tone, "There are doubtless a great many things 1 which Mr. Jones knows and we do not 1 know, but there are also a few things which we know and he does not." Then followed a pause, during which each man held his breath, for the dean' - was known to carry on his lips a dag- ger which sometimes found its unerr- ing way to the hearts of men and things, but after due pause he contin- ued gently: "And chief among them is how glad we always are to see him."—Youth's Companion. LACE CLEANING. Mott Descriptions of Several Pray tical Processes. Lace is now so profusely used that the woman who understands the art of its renovation is fortunate. Modern Priscilla reveals some of the cleansing processes adapted to this delicate fab- ric, as follows: To wash lace successfully plenty of time and great care are necessary. There are instances where hurried work is followed by success, but the chances are against it. A, battenberg doily became soiled in the making, so the maker rubbed white soap on it, thrust it In a basin of hot water and rubbed it vigorously between her hands until all trace of soil was gone. She then pulled it out into shape, placed it between two towels and roll- ed it up. When nearly dry, she ironed It, still between the towels, and, strange "to say, that doily showed no bad results from its rough treatment. But such a case is rare and is also unfortunate, as it may lead to careless- ness in accomplishing a work that should receive the most careful treat- ment. Should all that is necessary to clean a piece of lace is to lay it be- tween two sheets of white or blue pa- per, first sprinkling it well with pow- dered magnesia. Then place it be- tween the leaves of a book and allow it to remain for several days. When the magnesia is shaken out, the lace will be found to be very greatly improve. Lace placed between sheets of blue pa- y per will keep white longer than when placed between white paper or laid away in a box. When actual washing is necessary, take a glass whose body is as nearly cylindrical as possible. Half flit this with sand or water to prevent the wa- ter when boiling from tossing the bot- tle about too violently in the kettle. Very carefully wind the lace around this bottle and cover it with a layer of cheesecloth or muslin. A still better way is to baste the lace smoothly and exactly on a piece of cheesecloth, then wind It securely around the bottle and cover the whole with another layer of the cheesecloth. Into a granite saucepan put some cold water, a small piece of white soap and if the lace is very dirty a pinch of salt. Into this plunge the lace wound bottle and let the water come to a boil. As the water gets dirty pour it off and replace with more cold water and soap. Continue this treatment until the boil- ing water remains perfectly clean. Then remove the bottle and plunge into a basin of clean, cold water and rinse thoroughly. Allow the lace to remain on the bottle until it is dry, then re- move it and separate from the cheese- cloth. When real lace has become stained or greasy from wear, place it in a bath of pure olive oil and allow it to remain for several hours or even a day or two. This gives to the lace the softness of texture it possessed when now. After this is accomplished wind the lace on the bottle and proceed with the boiling, as already described. When the lace Is too large to wind around a bottle, haste it evenly and se- curely to a piece of cheesecloth. with small stitches in parallel lines across the surface of the lace. Baste another piece of cheesecloth over it and boil in a series of waters. After the rinsing, which must be accomplished by press- ing and squeezing, but never by wring- ing, pin the cloth upon which the lace s basted smoothly to a sheet stretched n curtain frames or if this is impossi- ble to a sheet stretched and pinned over a carpet. Allow the lace to dry and then remove from the sheet and from the two layers of cheesecloth. The Echo at Work. When we bad climbed to the top of the mountain, we observed an old man sitting on a rock with a pair of field - glasses in his hands. Every now and then he would look earnestly through them and then whoop continuously fol a time with a vigor astonishing, con- sidering his age. For a time we ob- served him from a respectful distance till finally, being naturally curious, I went up to him. "Why," I asked, "do you rubber that way and then yell so loud?" He turned and eyed me calmly, with a dignity which could have been born of nothing a great at res onsibilit . "If you talk to me," he said gravely, "you'll take my attention, and I'll lose my job. I, sir, am the echo at the Mountain House down yonder." At thispoint it became necessary for him to bowl again, and I retired much impressed.—Princeton Tiger. Poaching in London Parka, Nearly all the London parks are well ,stocked with eatable birds, and it is the easiest thing in the world for the loafers to kill them, clean them and carry them off to the nearest hot plate for 'Tasting. A story is told by Lon- doners of a couple of impecunious Scotch black and white artists who took a garret in Lincoln's Inn Fields and lived for a week on Law court pi- geons, which are plump, lively, plenti- ful and tame and would doubtless make a good meal. In addition to poaching , in the parks, there is also good reason to believe that many of the rare birds sold to shady bird deal- ers are snared there.—Glasgow News. Lord Brougham commonly spent three or four weeks in study before writing a great speech. Charm of M Charm of manner is made up • usually of gracious observances of small court- esies. Heredity is unrelenting, and charm is a great birthright, but when these qualities are lacking attention, effori and, above all things, desire may overcome tremendous barriers. Though society may do without a good heart, it will not dispense with that appear- ance of it which we call amiability of manner. This amiability may not al- ways give that illusive something known as charm, but charm never ex- ists when it is absent. Simple flattery is not pleasing, but the actual making one do bis best, and not alone thinking he is doing it, may be. Unselfishness is the root and spawn of all gracious- ness. One of the greatest secrets of charm Is charitableness and scrupu- lousness in imputing motives to those who interfere with our even way. Wit and eloquence fall flat when unkindly leveled at the weak and defenseless, concludes The Household. A Convenient Pantry Arrangement. The cut, from Farm Journal, shows a set of V shaped bins placed un- der the broad shelf of the pan- try dresser, in which flour, sug- ar, grahams and Indian meal and often bulky ar- ticles may be kept. Each bin swings on a screw pivot at each side in the lowest point of the V. The ad- vantage a n d v SHAPED BINS. convenience of such receptacles are too apparent to need comment.

The Swedish Lutheran Church, at -the conference held . in Stillwater, decided to enforce the constitution prohibiting membership in secret so- cieties by a vote of one hundred and forty-five to forty-three. The larger towns of the state are chiefly interest- ed in this action. Beltrami County is bankrupt, with $23,000 orders outstanding and not a cent, in the treasury. Most of the county offices are closed for want of funds to warm them. The trouble is caused by a refusal of the lumbermen to pay their back taxes. John Hyslop, chief engineer of the White Pass Road in Alaska, was killed at Chicago last Friday while attempting to board a moving- train. He was married to a daughter of Dr. Arthur Young, of Prescott, about a month ago. Judge Kelly, of Ramsey County, decides that Joseph Bobleter, former state treasurer, and his bondsmen are responsible for the $93,958 de- posited with insolvent banks. The.

The Milwaukee Road is to change its narrow gauge line from Reno to Preston into standard gauge the coming season. The attempt to release the Yuunger brothers by legislation is likely to prove a failure, as it justly deserves: F. H. Hamilton has been sentenced to seven years in state prison for kill- ing L. R. Day in Minneapolis. H. B. Chamberlain, of Minneapolis, is to succeed J. K. Grondahl as editor of The Wing Republican. Gov. John Lind has-fortned a law partnership with Judge Andreas ITeland, in Minneapolis. John Goodnow, consul general at Shanghai, has gone back to China. The bill introduced in the legisla- ture proposing to liberate convicts ander a life sentence, after having served thirty-five years less good time, should be defeated unless it is intended to abolish that kind of punishment altogether. Most men senteuced for life deserve the extreme penalty of the law, but get off with a term for life in consequence of a technicality or a missing link in the chain of evidence against them, and on account of which a chance is given them to invoke the clemency of the law, should future developments in their case warrant such a course. But the bill is only a pretext used to cover up the real object of the measure, and which is nothing less than to get the Younger Brothers out of state prison. The -author of the bill is evidently ashamed to come out in the open, and tries to accom- plish his object under false colors. If the Youngers must be set free let it be done Without deception and upon grounds in itself sufficient to justify that course. To sacrifice a good law in order to gain this point is a dangerous proceeding, and should be promptly repudiated at the first opportunity. -St. Peter Free Press.

ELECTRICAL NOTES. Recent Doings In * Fertile Field of Invention and Discovery. Telephones are to be added to the Sae alarm boxes of London. The firemen will carry receivers in their pockets, and the handle p4 the alarm box will be made into a transmitter. The United States naval observatory at Washington has been obliged to sus- pend its series of magnetic observa- tions on account of the proximity of electric tramways. According to Electricity the world's investments in the various applications of electricity at the end of the past cen- tury may be estimated at not less than $2,500,000,000. Signor Marconi, according to a recent report, has practically solved the ques- tion of ocean transmission by wireless telegraphy and will soon be able to use his system across the Atlantic. Professor Fleming of London univer- sity is now conducting important ex- 1 periments in connection with the trans- mission of electrical energy. It is said that the professor has discovered means by Mich power can be distrib- uted without wires by utilizing ether. A most interesting invention, the te- legraphone, has recently been brought to this country from Denmark for ex- ploitation, its inventor, Herr "Waldemar Poulsen, being one of the engineers of the Danish government telegraph serv- ice. It is a variety of phonograph adapted to record and reproduce sounds spoken into a telephone trans- mitter. A contribution to the discussion on the deadly effects produced by the in- visible rays of the electric discharge upon bacteria is made by Dr. H. Stre- bel of Munich. It 1s stated that Dr. Strebel has succeeded in proving that the invisible rays of a powerful induc- tion spark are capable of killing strong cultures -for instance, of microccocous prodlgiosus-within the short space of, say, 20 minutes, even through a thick medium of quartz. Aluminium is at the present price the cheapest metal in the market with the exception of iron, zinc and lead, says The Electrical Review of London. This metal is now extensively used in the place of copper, brass, tin and in some cases even iron, especially when the reduction of dead weight is a question of great importance. Aluminium is also beginning to be very largely used in connection with electricity, as elec- trical conductors of this metal, giving the same conductance as copper, weigh only half as much and cost less. A French experimenter has devised a differential apparatus which, while not preserving the secret of wireless tele- graph messages, enables the sender to communicate at will with one or the other of two stations situated at dif- ferent distances. The scheme involves the use of four mast wires of different ranges, two at the sending stations and two at the receiving stations. The heights of the masts are so arranged that one of them covers, say, a range of five miles, while the other does not. By this means, it is asserted, the ob- ject sought can be attained. It is related that N. Shellinger, an electrician in St. Joseph, Mo., made an interesting experiment recently. In the presence of several physicians a cat was killed by electricity, the cur- rent being maintained until the animal was pronounced dead by the physicians present. After several minutes, dur- ing which the action of the heart had entirely ceased, the current was re- versed, and the heart began to beat slowly. A low potential alternating current was then turned on, and after a few minutes the action became regu- lar, and the cat showed signs of life. The animal is said to have entirely re- covered within two hours. Wireless Telephones. The Morning Post correspondent at Paris, says the London Star, records the discovery of wireless telephony. It is said to be due to M. Marche, a French inventor of some renown. M. Emile Gautier, the scientist, witnessed the experiments on Sunday last in the forest of St. Germain. The apparatus consisted of a trans- mitter put in communication with the ground by means of a chain and of two iron posts which were set up at any spot 1,000 yards distant at any spot de sired, but for preference on damp soil. The two posts were placed from 25 to 30 yards apart and were connected by a wire. The pliable -wire of an ordinary telephone receiver was attached to one of the posts, and the apparatus was complete. With its aid M. Gautier was able to hear his friend, whose voice was perfectly recognizable, count up to 100 with absolute distinctness. In each case the sound had been transmitted beyond all question by the earth, which, without the aid cif a con- ducting wire, seemed to act precisely as if such a wire had been laid down. A Wild Ride. "When I was younger than I will ever be again," said the professor with a three story head and eyeglasses of the telescopic order, "I was the victim of such intense mental abstraction that I removed myself entirely from the world of practical affairs. I was in the boundless realms of thought and paid but fleeting attention to the active fleld of human action. It was neces- sary to notify me when I should attend my classes, eat my meals and even when I should retire. "I was at one time requested to lec- ture in a New England village and agreed to do so. The theme was one that had received my beat thoughts, and the mere prospect of delivering it was a physical pleasure. When I ar- rived at the depot- my thoughts were concentrated upon the prepared ad- dress. I realized that my train was an hour late and that I must hurry, but beyond the mere fact of hurrying I did not grasp a detail. "'Drive fast!' I shouted to the driver of a dingy looking vehicle as I sprang in and handed him a $5 bill. 'Spare neither horse nor whip.' "Away we went with a plunge. The carriage rolled like a ship in the trough of the sea. Street lights seemed a torchlight procession moving rapidly by the other way. Constables shouted, dogs barked, small boys chased us and business ceased that people might stand on the sidewalks and gaze. Up one street and down another we dashed gladly. We took corners on two wheels, grazed telegraph poles and knocked over such movables as ash barrels and dry goods boxes. "After half an hour of this bewilder- ing experience I stuck my head out of the window and shouted, 'Are we near- ly there?' "'Where did yez want to go, sir?' came the edifying answer." -Washing- ton Star. Prismatic Colors. Mrs. Opie, the widow of the great portrait painter, whom some one has called the "inspired peasant," never, even in her old age, lost her love of bright colors. A little girl, Emma Martin, afterward known in literature las Emma Marshall, visited her one day. and experienced a rare pleasure. She says: On a screen in her drawing room were hung a number of prisms, which were suspended from chandeliers be- fore the bell shaped globes came into fashion. I sat on a stool at my moth- er's feet, wondering what those long bits of glass could mean. Presently the brilliant rays of the western sunshine filled the room. "Now," said Mrs. Opie, "thou mayst run over to that screen and give it a shake." I did as I was bidden. "Be gentle," said my mother in a warning voice, but I gave the screen a vigorous shake. Emerald, ruby and violet rays danced on the walls and ceiling and delighted me so intensely that I kept repeating the process; then my mother, afraid of mischief resulting, came and drew me back to her side. Mrs. Opie looked at me and said: "If thou lowest bright colors, thee will never see anything more beautiful than the rainbow God sets in the sky." Natural Gas Giving Out. According to the last report of the United States geological survey, the fuel value of the natural gas in this country has decreased to about one- third of what It was a few years ago. It would require 5,400,000 tons of coal to equal in heating capacity the pro- duction of natural gas in 1899. Ten years ago this egdjvalent in amount of coal would be about 15,000,000 tons. The great gas producing districts area fast failing to produce, and in manyl places the pressure is becoming so!!!!!!' light that it is impossible to secure any head whatever. Large industries that formerly used this fuel are substitut-1 ing coal, closing down or working at a1 loss. Race Development. The Department of Ethnology at the Pan-American Exposition will include a vast museum of archmological treas- ures by which the development of the races, particularly in America, may be traced. The Americas have proved to be rich fields which the students have neglected. Rude implements and ves- sels made by the mound builders, the Aztecs or the Incas many centuries ago and brought to light only in recent years will serve to introduce the first Americans to those of the present day. A rare opportunity will be given to study the progress of man in labor and invention by means of these priceless exhibits. Waiminoon Church Announcements.

Burr for defense. Could Not Report Golf. When the amateur golf championship was played at Wheaton in 1897 there was but one Chicago newspaper man who had the remotest conception of what the game was. Accordingly, the newspapers, with the exception of the Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate the work and put it all in this one man's hands. The Tribune refused to enter the combination and depended upon the exertions of a member of its own staff. But the Tribune reporter speedily realized his helplessness and appealed to his brother of the syndicate for aid. The latter obligingly handed over his copy, and the Tribune man set to work to make a few minor changes so that its kinship to the original should not be too apparent. Later in the evening he met his generous bene- factor and told him of the changes he had made. "In particular, the account of the play at the sixth hole between Forgan and Douglas. You said that 'Forgan rimmed the cup for a half.' Well, you know, old chap, that Forgan is a bank- er down town and a big man, while Douglas is just one of those Scotch - men. It seemed to me rather cheap to have- Forgan doing that sort of thing for a half, so I just made it read that 'Forgan rimmed the cup with Douglas for a hundred.' "-Washington Capital. Comets as Pron,kets. The old belief that comets portend war and disaster was not verified in re- spect to this bloody and Boody 1900. Professor Brooks' small telescopic com- et, with a train, was too small for the superstition and has now disappeared in the northern sky. "An umbrella is a good deal like a fellow's hair," remarked the observes of events and things. "If you lose it, you seldom get it back again." The Markets. BARLEY. -48 @ 53 cts. BEEF. -$6.00@$6 50.

She settled herself more comfortably on the stile, drawing her fur edged cloak closely around her, and the man to whom she spoke thought that this was certainly the very prettiest as well as the most candid young woman it had ever been his lot to meet. The crisp November air, with its touch of frost, had brought a glow of color to the fair paleness of her cheeks. "But how on earth do you manage?" he stammered, - vaguely sympathetic and disturbed. "Oh, we get along somehow," replied Nan airily, "and up to the present we have not been reduced to beg, borrow -or steal. That will come later, I ex- pect. You can't imagine how easy it is to live on nothing a year, Lord Ver- ramount." "I don't quite understand," he con- tinued. "Has your father lost money lately, or"— "No; we have always been poor," said Nan, "as long as I can remember, and each year father makes a little less. IIe is a writer, you know, and an authority on some scientific matters that he dabbles in. So each year we descend a little lower in the scale. He saw the advertisement for this house of yours, and it was the cheapest thing he could hear of, and so he took it. I had never been to Ireland before, but I like it—yes, I like it very well," she added .graciously. "I sill glad you like it," said Lord Verramount gravely. "I am sorry to say I don't care for it at all, and I only live here six months out of the 12, be- cause I think it is my duty." "Tell me," said Nan, "why do you let this delightful old house to us for such a mere song? There must be some rea- son.' "There is," he assented, "but I would rather not tell it to you." She insisted, so he went on: "The house belonged to ati eccentric cousin of my father. He lived to a great age a sort of hermit life, and the country people declared he had sold himself to the,devil; that is all. There is a kind of an idea that the place is uncanny, and, as it had- been standing empty a long time, I thought it best to let it go at a nominal rent." She was gazing into the distance, a rapt, dreamy look in her eyes. '"How strange!" she said musingly. "A lonely old man! Living and dying all by himself! I can fancy him in the little turret room"— She broke off suddenly, a flash of excitement coming into her face'. "Was he a musician, Lord Verramount? Did he love music esIdo?" "I believe he was," Verramount an- swered slowly, studying the varied ex- pressions of her face. "I never knew film myself, but I have heard he was a violin player of no mean ability. Do you love music, then, Miss Kilmayne?" She dill not answer for a moment, but the roseflush deepened on her face, and her lips parted in a kind of ecstasy. "Love ft? I adore it!" she said soft- ly. "I could play all day and all night. My greatest ambition is to play some day to thousands of people"—she wav- ed her ,hands as though indicating a crowded assembly — "on a genuine Stradivari. To carry them away with met to make them forget themselves, forget time, place—everything but the music. It wank] be heavenly!" "May I come and hear you play one day?" he asked quietly. "Of course, if you care to," said Nan, descending to earth. "I must be going now. Dad will be waiting for bis tea. Goodby!" And with a careless word she had jumped lightly down from the stile and was gone. . "A singular girl," thought Verra- mount as he watched her cross the field that intervened between him and Ballylough. "A very interesting girl! Plucky, too, I should think!" And so thinking of ber he went homeward to Mount Regal, where his mother bad imposed on him the duties of host to a houseful of relations for the shooting season. For some days be was too busy to call on his tenants at Ballylough, blit at last one afternoon in the deepening twilight he found himself riding up the avenue. Half way up he encountered old Mr. - Kilmayne, who stopped at sight of him. saying: "I must ask you to excuse my not turning back with you, but I have an Important letter to post, and our only servant is' out for the afternoon. My daughter will be pleased to welcome you, and I shall hope to get back be- fore efore your visit Is over. You will find her in the little turret room." The house seemed strangely gloomy and deserted as Lord Verramount made his way through the -wide old hall and up the dark stairs to the little octag- onal room midway in the turret and tapped at the door for permission to enter. "What a lonely life for her," he thought remorsefully, comparing the warmth and lightness of Mount Regal, with its many guests, to this silent, cold home. There wne no answer to his repeated knocks, and on opening the door and looking in he thought at first the room was empty, until the firelight glow re- vealed to him Nan's sleeping figure in an armchair. asleep had fallen while she was playing her violin appar- ently. and even his entranee' had not e I'en constantly or the mefony that Dan ! roused Der, nor dia sne stir when n e come to her only to mock her with its gently touched the hand that held the violin. Then she sighed and woke. "Your father told me I might come and find you," he said apologeticail I am so sorry to disturb you, Ms Kilmayne." She sat still for a moment, as though listening to some other sound than his voice. "It was a dream, then," she said at softly spoke her name, and at last h In 7. 8 last; "the most beautiful dream I have ever had. Do you know, Lord Verra- mount, I thought that an old man, so old and bent and withered—I can see bim now—stood where you are, and that he was playing the most exquisite tune I have ever imagined, something so perfect, so ideal, so entrancing, that I despaired of ever learning it. Oh, if it!What was oulyremember I could it?" She stood up and piti.yed a few bars, then stopped, tj1ed again and finally laid aside her loll with an impatient "I shall never .et it!" she said. "I gesture. don't believe human hands ever play- ed such a symphony as that. It is only in dreams one finds perfection." Then, laughing at her own rhapso- dies, she lit the lamp and, remember- ing the rules of hospitality, insisted on making some tea for her guest. Nan herself, the dream all dispelled, was laughing at his enthusiasm, and when her father returned from his walk and joined them a fellow feeling was established between Verramount and his tenants that would have taken months of more conventional intimacy to develop. Indeed, it seemed to Verramount when he left them that he had never been so well entertained, and he found himself hankering 'constantly durinb the days that followed for the informal gayety of the little turret room tea party, in place of the gathering at Mount Regal, where his mother, proud of a long line of ancestry, kept up an amount of state that bored him to ex- tinct'lon. "Why don't you go and call on the Kilmaynes?" he ventured to say one day. "You might ask them over here sometimes, if they would come." "My dear boy," said the dowager, with her usual decision, "those impos- sible people!" "What is there against thein?". de- manded her son, with some warmth. "The father is a gentleman and a scholar; the daughter is"— "I am indifferent to what they are or are not," interrupted Lady Verramount ruthlessly. "Their circumstances do not permit them to entertain or go into society; therefore it would be quite use- less my adding them to an overcrowd- ed visiting list." And Lord Verramount knew his moth- er too well to argue the matter further. The facts of Nan's beauty and inelIgi- bility combined had been quite suffi- cient to prejudice Lady Verramount's worldly nature against her. But her opposition rather increased than damp- ened his own inclinations to go to Bal- lylough. and soon his appearance at teatime grew to be almost a daily event to which Nan found herself look- ing forward as the one ray of bright- ness in an otherwise very dull life. Presents of game and fruit and flow- ers found their way, too, from Mount Regal; new songs and magazines for Nan, new books for Mr. Kilmayne. Yet, in spite of these distractions, Nan seemed to droop and fade as the win- ter progressed. The pretty color no longer flashed into her cheek, and the animation in voice and manner failed day by day, while there came at times a singular strained look into her face, as though she were listening to some faroff sound. Her father, absorbed in study and working against time for money that was spent before it came, failed to no- tice these signs in her, but Verramount saw them very plainly and wondered what the reason could be. One day he learned it. He had run in on his way home from shooting and, guided by the sound of Nan's violin, had gone straight up to the turret room to find her. She was playing a few notes over and over again with weari- some iteration, and when be entered and she laid her violin down to greet hint he saw that her lips were quiver- ing and her eyes full of tears. "What is it, Nan?" he said involunta- rily and calling her by her Christian name in his distress. "It is nothing," she faltered. "It is only"— She broke off and then burst into passionate tears. "I shall never find it out!" she sobbed. "Never! It haunts me always, night and day. Sometimes in my dreams I can even play some of it, but when I wake it is gone—gone! When I am away from this room, I am restless to come back to it. I feel that the tune is here, with- in these walls, and that nowhere else will it come to me. Yet when I am here it still evades me. And now we are going away, and I shall lose the chance of it forever!" "Going away!" he echoed blankly. "When—and why?" "Father must go to London," she said. "Some literary business of his has gone wrong, and be must be there to look after it, and I have made up my mind to try to earn some money. It is not fair he should do all the work. I shall try to get into a ladies' string band as first violin. Father is going to ask you to release him from the re- mainder of our tenancy." "Of course, I shall be.dellghted," said Verramount. with patent insincerity, while he was rapidly revolving in his mind the carious excuses he might of- 1 fer to hi), mother for a visit to town. He would have liked to sternly refuse Mr. Kilmayne's request about Bally - lough. Nevertheless, when the latter, coming in to tea, approached the sub- i ject, he found himself reluctantly ac- ceding, compelled by courtesy to dis- guise his real feelings. That night a strange thing happened. Nan, pursued in her dreams by this haunting fancy that had seized her, walked in her sleep down to the turret room and, waking there all alone In the dark, fainted with terror. In the morning, when she was found lying them, cold and Insensible, they thought she was dead, but with re- newed animation came fever, and for days she was very ill and went near to dying, while in her delirium she rav- beauty and pathos and then to leave her memory blank. At last the critical nibment passed when the fever left her, though the re- sulting weakness threatened to take the little life that remained to her. "Father," she said faintly, "I want to be carried down to the turret room. I must hear the tune again before I die.' In vain he reasoned with ber, entreat [ng her to rest, to get strong, to put the thought of this dream out of her head. She would not be appeased until she gained her own way and had been dressed and carried down to tile sofa in the little room she had learned to love so well. She lay there contented- ly for some time; then presently rising, she crossed the room with feeble, fal- teringe to the armchair. steps p a t. "It was here that the dream first came to me," she said. "I wonder if Lord Verrarnount would give me this chair if I asked him?" "You need not wonder," said a voice at the door. "The chair is yours from this moment. "I am so glad to see you down again," he continued. "I have missed you hor- ribly." . "Have you? And will you really give me this chair? I have always liked it so much. There is something so rest- ful about it. I have often wondered why it has this quaint old tapestry panel in the back and whether some fair la- dy worked it for her own true love." As she spoke she noticed that the edge of the oval panel projected on one side more than on the other and press- ed it lightly into place. To her sur- prise, it fell forward, and behind it, in the hollow of the chair, lay something wrapped In a red silk handkerchief. "Why, what is this?" she said W011- deringly. "The chair is a casket, Lord Verramount, and contains a treasure." And then she gave a little cry of amazed delight, for as she drew the wrapper away there lay in her hands a violin of exquisite shape and workman- ship, with the magic name of Stradi- vari inscribed on it and the date 1727. She stared at it, breathless, fascinated, then, lifting it, drew the bow softly across the strings, tuned them and be- gan to play. Slowly, then gradually with more confidence and swiftness, she played until the room was filled with strains so enchanting that it seemed as though the very essence of all harmony had been imprisoned within the hidden vio- lin and was exulting in its new liberty. Lord Verramount watched her spell- bound, scarcely able to believe his senses at this extraordinary change. Not till the last sweet note had trem- bled into silence did Nau's rapt ex- pression change or her nervous fingers relax their hold of the bow; then stretching out her hand to him, she cried: "It is found! It has come back! I remember now every note of it! It must have been allayed on this violin by a master hand, i am sure of it! Perhaps by Stradivari himself! Ah, but"—her look changed suddenly—"the violin is yours, Lord Verramount! It must have belonged to the old man, your cousin. Perhaps he, too, spent his life trying to remember the tune, and that was why the people called him mad. You must take it." "The violin is yours," Verramount said quickly. "I gave you the chair, with no reservations. I ask of you only one favor in return—that you will rest now and get well, so that you may be strong enough to fulfill your ambi- tion and play as you have played to- night to hundreds of people." The effect he had counted on reward- ed him; the life and light flowed back into Nan's pale face as she murmured: "To play on this exquisite violin—it would be splendid! i must live for that!" And she did. Nor bad she to wait very long for the success which had been her heart's desire. The romance of the Ballylough violin and of the wonderful melody which had come to Miss Kilmayne with it as an inspiration was talked about all over the country, and an enterprising concert manager at Dublin invited her to perform there as a new "star." Then came Nan's hour of triumph. Thele was a bush of momentary silence when she finished ber "Spirit Song," and then the whole audience rose to applaud her. When, flushed and sparkling, she returned at last to the artists' room, Lord Verramount was the first to clasp ber band. "Nan," he said, his voice vibrating witb the love he had so long repressed, "I want you to let me bring my mother here and introduce her to. you. She Is among your audience, and she wishes to make up for the time she has lost in making your acquaintance." Nan did not answer. Her heart was too full for words. But as she raised glad eyes to his, he whispered under his breath: "She is going to ask you to visit us. Nen, say yes, for my sake! I want you at Mount Regal—always!" And Nan, whispering softly, said, "I'll eonle."—Penny Pictorial Magazine. THE NEW JEWELRY. " RAPID FANCY WORK. Uncut Stones and Rough Gol ored Gems and Enamels.

Perhaps then, as now, the work allured by the ease, permitting that divided at- tention which is the frequent fate of industry that busies fair fingers in the presence of admiring eyes. Be this as it may, ribbon work occu• pies a post of honor, and so attractive has it been made that it is likely to hold its own against ail rivalry for some time to come. The familiar narrow ribbon embroid- ery does not appear to have lost any of its popularity and for delicate decora- tion is certainly beyond competition. The designs, too, are prettier and more varied in adaptation than ever. When, however, a handsomer and more real- istic effect is aimed at. the broad rib- bons are a particularly happy medium, as has recently been proved by their application to large and really impor- tant subjects, such as portieres and curtains. A striking instance of broad ribbon work is furnished by a portiere on art serge of a peculiar shade of cool lime green. The motif is an apple tree some eight feet or more in height, in full blossom, the stem and branches being coarsely but effectively treated in rich brown shades of tapestry wool, the high lights touched in with silk. The pink tipped clustering blossoms are portrayed in broad ribbons, which, lightly folded and crumpled in all kinds of deft ways, convey a wonder- fully faithful impression of the deli- cate shell-like petals, as well as of the tender, green, sprouting leaves.

Paris is laughing over how an artist got even with a dude wbo, having sat for his picture, was so dissatisfied with the result that he refused to pay for it. The Count de X. recently had a crayon picture of himself made, which he afterward pretended to find fault with. "It does not bear the slightest resem- blance to me," he said, "and I will not take It." The artist protested, but all to no avail. "All right, monsieur," he remarked finally, "if it is not at all like you, of course I can't reasonably ex- pect to get paid for it." After the count had gone the painter added to the portrait a magnificent pair of ass' ears and exhibited it to the gaze of the curious public. It had not been long so exposed wben the count broke into the artist's t studio u 7 o in aowerin t rage g g and, finding that threats availed him nothing, at last offered to buy it at a considerable advance upon the original price. "It was not strange that you failed to recognize your resemblance to the picture at first," said the painter, de- termined to be revenged for the slight put upon bis work. "But I knew you would notice the likeness as soon as I added those ears." He Was Superstitions. He was a big, hearty workingman, and when a spare, thin little man en- tered the tram car, stumbled and sat upon him he said in reply to the little man's apologies: "Don't trouble, sir; it's all right. There's no 'arm done." When we saw the big man a week later, we were shocked at the change in him. He seemed to have shrunk to half his former bulk. "Why, whatever's the matter?" we exclaimed. "You remember that little man wot sat on me in the train last week, sir?" "Yes." "Well, it's all through 'int I'm wastin away like this!" "Preserve us!" we cried. "How? Why?"

How She Settled the Question. The question of precedence at dinner and at social functions at Washington is a weighty one in official circles, but once upon a time there was a western senator whose wife thought very light- ly on this subject. She was in Wash- ington for a good time, and she re- solved to bate it without bothering about precedence. This fearless little woman gave a dinner on one occasion, and when it was time to get her guests from the drawing room into the dining room she said: "There is some precedence about all this, but I don't know what it is.

A London photographer, according The Scientific American, has succe ed in producing electrographic pap which promises 10 revolutionize the prescarvative of all arts. Using the n patent paper, J syndicate has tecen perfected a !,,rocess of printing wi out ink. Ine'ead of saturating the per with the sensitizing materials, has hitherto been dyne, it has b found best to mix them with the p in the process of manufacture, and a radical departure has been made a a new machine made paper has b invented that has rare properties. As the chemicals used are abunda and cheap, flee new medium eau produced as cheaply as common pape The nrenared natter Is stable and c orless, is unaffected by any oth agent than the electric current, may kept indefinitely and sent to the pre directly from the roll as manufacture with no preliminary treatment wha ever; yields instantly a dense blac permanent print; requires no subs 'quent "fixing or developing—indee Is ready for distribution immediatel as there is nothing like ink to smir or require drying—in short, meets a the requirement of a perfect mediu for electric printing. Given such suitable paper, and the mechanic problems incident to a practical syste of electric printing are comparative) simple. The syndicate, having sati factorily completed the experiment part of its undertaking, is now enga ed in demonstrating the workings o the lien' process and overcoming th objections of printers. The machine far electric printing i simply au ordinary press divested o all. its inking mechanism and havin the cylinder or paper bearing surfac covered with a suitable conductin metal. The work of "make ready" f the same as for ordinary printing, an line blocks, electrotypes, woodcuts half tones, engravings, all kinds of de signs in relief, may be used at will. • ,i'1 --;she "form" is connected with on pole'oi; tl:e dynamo or battery. Fo most purposes the current may be tak en from au ordinary incandescent Iigh wire. The paper carrying cylinder surface is connected with the opposit pale. Thus the metal surfaces of bot cylinders are the electrodes, while th )raper is hi reality a very thin cell i which the pulp Is an' inert medium an the contained chemicals are the electro lyre. As the cylinders approach each ,other to press the paper as it is fed be - 'seen them the current is switched on reaamatically and flows from one cyl- inder through the paper at the points of coptact to the other. cylinder, the impression being produced instantly by electro chemical action. A governor, or variable "resist," permits an operator to control the quantity and intensity of the current, which must be continuous. The paper possesses magnetic electric properties, and ' -consequently the amount of current required is surpris- iugly small. The voltage used may be I0 from 10 to 0. and four amperes are ample - for the largest machines. All inking mechanism being dispensed with, the power necessary to drive the press is greatly diminished. For a given pie=ce of work the cost of current for the actual printing is said to be only one-i,alr ti_at of iuk, while a sav- ing of at least one-third in the original cost of it is assured. The new prose i:•r:?s itself to. all speeds, even to the fnste't web presses. es to ed- er art ew tly th- pa- as een pt so nd een nt be r. ol- er be ss d, t - k, e- d, Y, ch Il m a al y s- al g - f e s g. e s d e r o e h e n d Soa: e;Sts of the Recent Census. Th.• ?:, si:i;es of the Union had a popula:i:rn of 02,116,811 in 1890, which , inerca.,ed to 74.627,907 in 1900. The total . population increased during the same years (including Hawaii, but ex- cluding Porto Rico and the Philip- pines) fropi 63,069,756 to 76,295,220. The percentage of increase (1890-1900) was a little less than 21 per cent. It was 24 9-10 per cent from 1880 to 1890 and more than 30 per cent from 1870 to 1S80. `:early all of the diminution of percentage noted is accounted for by the falling off of immigration. In Oklahoma the population has increased sig -fold, and in Indian Territory and Arizona it has doubled: Nevada has decreased in population by about 3,000. and Kansas and Ne- braska have barely held their own. The great manufacturing states of the eaet-have on the whole grown propor- tionally as much as the most prosper- ous states of the middle west. New England increased very slowly and the "new south" rapidly. The last census represents a very different state of affairs from that of 1890 and pre- figures a new distribution of power and population in the next decade.— New York Sun. Blasting With Liquid Air. The experiments made with a view to using liquid air as one of the con atltuents of an explosive are described by A. Larsen in a paper received from the Institution of Mining Engineers. The cartridges used for blasting trials in the Simplon tunnel consisted of a wrapper filled with a carbonaceous ma- terial, such, for instance, as a mixture of equal parts of paraffin and of char- coal and dipped bodily in liquid air un- til completely soaked. The cartridges were kept in liquid air at the working face of the rock until required for use, when they were put quickly in the shot holes and detonated with a small gist) cotton primer and detonator. The life of such a cartridge is, unfortunate - r ly, very short after the cartridge has been removed from the liquid air. A cartridge 8 inches in length and 3 inch- es in diameter has to be fired within 15 minutes after being taken out of the liquid to avoid a missfire. On this ac- count the Simplon trials were discon- ; tinued.—Nature. Poems= 011111111111 1111 A UNiVERSAL ANTIDOTE. Milk Advocated as a Remedy For Many Cases of Poisoning. A universal antitoxic, applicable to most of the cases of poisoning, has been demanded. One exists, according to The Practical Druggist, and it is very simple and well known. It is milk. Milk, by its fatty matter (butter) and by its casein, protects the mucous membrane against the corrosive action of acids, alkalis and other caustic or Irritant substances. The chemical role of casein is here very remarkable and very valuable. It is able to fill the dou- ble part of acid and of base in presence of compounds with which it is brought in contact. It not only coagulates un- der the action of acids by combining with them, but it also yields a precipi- tate with most mineral bases, forming insoluble caseates. If precipitation data mat turwedlatc-ls take place witn a product having a given reaction (acid or baste), this precipitate will appear through the intervention of another substance of contrary reaction. This is a very important law in toxicology, which, as has been observed by its dis- coverer, Dr. Crowzel, has never before been formulated or even noticed. This chemist, therefore, proposes to add to the milk 5 per cent of borate of soda. This salt is not toxic and is em- ployed because it precipitates as insol- uble borates all the mineral bases ex- cept harmless or slightly poisonous al- kaline bases. The poisonous acids de- compose it, seizing on the soda and set- ing free boric acid, which Is less poi- sonous and less soluble. Borate of soda thus realizes very re- markable general conditions which are Sufficient to make it a general antidote, although unfortunately not a universal one, which result can be obtained with no known product. The mixture of borate of soda and milk is an antidote at once neutralizing and precipitant- - It can be used espe- cially with mineral poisons, although we must except cyanides, ferrocya- nides, chlorates, nitrates, arsenites, ar- seniates and oxalates. Of these the first three are precipitate by a mixture of ferrous and ferric sulphate, while chlorates and alkaline nitrates cannot be precipitated by any inoffensive re- agent. Arsenites and alkaline arseni- ates can be eliminated by magnesia. In any case no risk is run and good may be done by giving milk with bo rate of soda to one who is thought to have been poisoned. It is the first thing to be done after emptying the stomach. If arsenic is suspected. magnesia should be given. If there are vegetable poisons, the best antidote is a 1 per cent solution of permanganate of pot- ash, which is harmless in this degree of dilution and is easily obtained now- adays. It decomposes most organic sub- stances by oxidizing them. TO INCREASE LAMPLIGHT. This Inventor Surrounds the Burner With a Refracting Lens. In order to increase the illuminating power of lamps a Cincinnati inventor, says The Scientific American, places a tubular lens around the lamp chimney opposite the flame and holds the lens concentrically with the chimney by TUBULAR LENS FOR LAMPS. means of a retaining and spacing ring, so that an air space is left. By this ar- rangement the lens is securely held in place on the lamp and so refracts the light that the illumination of a room is effectually increased. Wasted Lives. A large pottery firm in Staffordshire, England, has been carrying out a series of experiments with a view to manu- facturing glazed china without white lead. The mortality among the work- ers, due to white lead poisoning, is heavy, and efforts have been made for some time past by legislative and other methods to reduce the misery of the employees engaged in this trade. The firm in question bas produeed numer- ous articles by an improved process which are equal in every respect to those produced by the white lead proc- ess. Attempts are also to be made to apply the system to the manufacture of earthenware. Center of Population In the United States. The center of the population in the United States is now at a point in lati- tude 20 degrees 9 minutes 36 seconds north and longitude 85 degrees 48 min- utes 54 seconds west, which point is in southern Indiana about seven miles southeast of the city of Columbus. Since the last census of 1890 the center of population has moved westward about 14 miles and, south about 3 miles. Pvderty's Penalty. "Poverty's no crime." said the Job's comforter.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM BT., NEW YORK. New England Youngsters. One of Detroit's lawyers, who has had such professional success as en- ables him to spend a portion of each summer in a quaint New England sec- tion, brings back some very interesting facts - "I take niy outing in one of those parts," be says, "where the farms are so run down that you can't hope for a good crop of anything unless it be beans or goats. One of the conse- quences is that the young men have to find some other part of the country in which to make a living, and I'll wager that there is not another community in the Union where the average age is higher. "Knowing me to be a lawyer, some of the residents called me . into a con- ference about the township treasurer who had been guilty of advancing a teacher $2 on her salary without the concent of the trustees. There was not a man there except myself who was not past 82, and two were over 90. "While I was making a talk in favor of the treasurer and trying to minimize his transgressions without offending the selectmen, as they called them, a man of at least 65 slouched through the door and took a seat. "'Just a minute,' said one of the old- est veterans as he interrupted and glowered at the intruder. 'How often have I quoted that there quotation to you 'bout old men for council and young men for war? This is a council. Now you just run oat till we get through, Willie. If there's any a'rest to be made, we'll call on you.' And Willie went without turning a word." —Detroit Free Press. Finding Days of the Week. The prematurely aged young man whose duty it is to get up The Rec- ord's "Answers to Correspondents" column says that queries of the same nature always come in bunches. They seem to be epidemic. Just at present a great many people seem eager to know what day of the week they were born on, and it keeps him busy figur-, ing the dates out. He has a system which be uses, and for the benefit of others who may be 1n search of like In- formation it is herewith given: For instance, take Jan. 15, 1868. A man born on that date writes to know what day of the week it fell on. In order to ascertain this divide the fig- ures representing the year by 4, reject- ing the remainder, if any. To this div- idend and quotient add the number of days In the year to the given date, in- clusive, always reckoning 28 days in February. Divide the sum by 7, and the remainder will be the number of the day of the week, 0 signifying Sat- urday. Here is the illustration, taking Jan. 15, 1868: 4)1808 487 Number of days to Jan. 15 15 D2850 886-0 Thus, by this calculation, which is in- fallible, it will be seen that Jan. 15, 1868, fell on the fifth day of the week, which is Thursday.—Philadelphia Rec- ord. His Part. "Ever in amateur theatricals?" "J t " Counterfeit China. Other things besides money are coun- terfeited, and purchasers of old china have to be conti:ivally on their guard or they will be paying many dollars for what is worth only a few -cents. "The market Is full of imitation chi- na," said a lower fourth avenue dealer in antiques who was asked about the matter. "Persons who rely on marks are sure to be deceived, for marks are easily imitated, and there is not one that has escaped forgery. "Both French and English manufac- turers forge all of the most sought aft- er marks and find sale for their prod- ucts. In lookir:g for old china I find that every mark of importance has been forged, from Dresden to Worces- ter and Crown Derby, not ,excepting old Sevres. Every day would be pur- chasers come here and visit other New York shops, looking for china, and have no mortal idea at all correct of what they are buying. Yet they will talk after a most learned fashion and will take offense at the very suggestion that they may be deceived. "If you are going to judge of china by its marks or evidence of its age and use from discoloration cracks and chipping, you are more than likely to be cheated, for all of these things are easy for an expert and dishonest deal- er to imitate. if you are not a judge of china, then hire an honest expert to purchase for you."—New York Herald. An Advertising Scheme. Several old acquaintances of the late D. H. McAlpin, the tobacco manufac- turer, were discussing his business suc- cess in an up town club, and one of , them told the following story as illus- trating the farreaehing effect of com- paratively insignificant things some- times. "It was after Mr. McAlpin was well started In the tobacco business," he said, "that an enterprising rival began to cut into his business by advertising that he placed a dime in every tenth package of tobacco put up in his fac- tory. One day a foreman of the pack- ing room went to Mr. McAlpin and said: " 'I have a suggestion to make that promises to knock out this dime In ev- ery tenth package scheme of your rival. Will you hear it?' "'Yes; go ahead: "'Well, then, just put a dime In ev- ery package of tobacco put up in our shop and don't advertise it. It will ad- vertise itself quickly enough.' "Mr. McAlpin saw that the sugges- tion was good, and he accepted it. It cost him a good deal of money, but its success warranted it. Within a few weeks farmers were buying McAlpin tobacco, knowing that they would find money in each package, and if they had found diamonds it would not have surprised them."—New York Sun. A Masculine Lady's Maid. A Bostonian while exploring the files of a paper printed in bis town a cen- tury ago came across this rather star- tling advertisement: "S Rogers Informs those ladies who wish to be dressed by him, either on assembly or ball days, to give him notice the previous day. Ladies who engage to and don't dress must pay him half price." 1 All on Account of the Boots. As a sergeant was bawling out his orders in a barracks in Dublin and watching the line of feet as the raw re- cruits endeavored to obey the word of command he found, to his astonish- ment, that one pair of feet, more no- ticeable on account of their extra large size, never turned. Without taking his eyes off those feet the sergeant bawled out a second or- der: "About face!" He could see that all the feet except those he watched turned in obedience. Rushing up to the owner, a little fel- low, he seized him by the shoulder, shouting: "Why don't you turn with the rest?" "I did!" replied the trembling recruit. "You did, eh? Well, I watched your feet, and they never moved." "It's the boots they gave me, sir," said the poor fellow. "They're so large that when I turn my feet turns inside of them."—London Answers. Thrifty. A Canadian minister had just mar- ried a couple. The registers were signed, and nothing remained but the giving and taking of the fee. The bridegroom, a strapping young fellow, asked: "How much is it?" The parson glanced at the smiling bride and slyly answered: "Whatever you think it is worth." Now, it should have been worth a great deal, for the girl was young and pretty. "I reckon it's worth about 5 shil- lings," said the swain, holding out two half crowns. The clergyman looked blankly at the coins, then turned to the fair one. "I'll leave it to you, madam," he said. "What do you think it's worth?" What did this young and blushing bride do? She reached out, took the coins, handed one half crown to the minister and put the other into het• pocket! "A thrifty wife," said the minister, with a sigh, "is her husband's crown." Perhaps he ought to have said half crown.—London Tit -Bits. Fooled His Doctor. The late Rev. 11. R.

Domestic Animals May Be the Sourest of Much Danger. There are many diseases to which small animals are liable and which they are capable of transmitting, says the New York Herald. This subject, to which too little attention has been di- rected, has been regarded by the Royal Society of Public Medicine in Belgium as worthy of its attention. By reason of the close and often con- tinuous contact between animals and mankind, dogs, sometimes affected by contagious diseases, such as tuberculo- sis, hydrophobia, mange, eczema, etc., are frequently the objects of such af- fection on the part of their master that he will take them in his arms, caress them in various ways and allow them to jump upon his knees and lick not only his hands, but his face or even his lips. Sometimes also the dogs in a house live like veritable boarders, side by side with the children, whose food they often share. They even eat off the plates used by the family. Generally speaking, though more fre- quently in large cities than in the coun- try, dogs continually live beside their masters, whom they scarcely ever leave, breathing the same atmosphere and contributing to some extent to ren- der it mephitic by diffusing into it mi- asma and perhaps also specific agents of malaria that are transmissible to mankind. This being so, it is not sur- prising that nen should be at times wet with the saliva of a dog that has gone mad or that a dog should become tuberculous through living beside a consumptive master and subsequently cause contagion In the opposite sense. The cat as well as the dog may trans- mit certain diseases to mankind. It is, in fact, liable to tuberculosis, eczema and other analagous affections that rage in mankind. From its mode of life, attached as it is to the fireside, it readily accepts the caresses of its own- ers and lives beside them. It likes to sleep in soft places, and if it carries upon it certain germs or parasites It leaves then behind it. Birds in the poultry yard, cage or dovecot are also a source fromwhich the human race may catch the germs of specific and even mortal diseases. Although the question of transmission of aviarian diphtheria to children in the form of human diphtheria has nev- er been solved and is by many persons considered an extremely dubious one, it is none tho less established by nu- merous observations on the part of the most conscientious physicians that when there is an epidemic of diph- theria in a poultry yard there is also a prevalence of angina ivith false mem- brane among the children. This is sufficient to warrant mcasurec of pre. caution in that respect. Besides diphtheria and pseudo mem- branous angina, birds have other dis- eases as to which there can be no doubt of the possibility of their trans- mission to mankind. It is sufficient to cite aviariai) tuberculosis and psitta- cosis. The latter is a common dis- ease with parrakeets, birds whose kiss- es certain persons receive with satis- faction. The rabbit and the hare are capable of communicating parasites. Although the pathology of fish and mollusks is at present almost unknown, it should be remembered that fish are capable of contracting tuberculosis. USE FOR OLD WHEELS. Transformation of a Bicycle Into a Grindstone Motor. One use for the frames of bicycles that are out of date is shown in the en- graving herewith, which is a method of mounting a grindstone described in The Blacksmith and Wheelwright. Mr. J. Arrowood says: I had the frame of A CYCLE GRINDSTONE, an old bicycle and utilized it in connec- tion with the stone. I cut out the mid- dle brace and then took a 2 by 4 timber and made the frame and stapled it to a stout post. Then. I made the frame for the grindstone and braced It under- neath, as shown. I removed the hind wheel of a bicycle that bad a little sprocket wheel on and cut out the spokes. Then I took a piece of soft wood, trimmed it to fit square in stone and then bored a bole the size of cycle hub, sawed open at center and fitted It on hub and drove it in grindstone. 1 then took a thin piece of iron and cut a notch for the axle to rest in. After finding the proper height for stone I nailed it on the frame. I had to get two chains to make stone high enough. This is now a handy ball bearing grind- stone. It runs at lightning speed and costs but little to make. Possible Plague of Hares. Warning is given of the possible dan- ger of the Introduction and dissemina- A Sentimental Farmer. "These sheep pictures of Mauve's are beautiful," said Mr. L., the art in- structor of the summer art school, to his class as he. turned over a lot of re- productions from the great artist's paintings. "They are so gentle, so ten- der, so suggestive of pastoral peace and quietude!" "Oil, I do love sheep!" exclaimed one of the girls. "They are so dear! Don't you think so, Mr. L.?" Mr. L. looked thoughtful for a mo- ment; then he said: "My father, who was a farmer, kept sheep for 20 years. He was an old man when he decided to give up the practice --au old man, but as full of sentiment and feeling as he had ever been. I shall never forget the day when the purchaser of the flock came to take them away. My father stood in the barnyard and watched till the last sheep had passed through the great gate into the road, waited till the last faint bleating of the flock had died away in the distance; then he turned to me with a face full of emotion." There were tears in the eyes of the "class," and their girlish hearts were touched by the pathetic word picture. Somebody said "Ah!" in a long drawn fashion. "He turned to me, my poor old father," the artist continued, "and said in a low, earnest voice, "William, I'd go five miles any day to kick a sheep!"—Leslie's Weekly. His Goal the Letter "V." When the late Horace Maynard, LL.' p., entered Amherst college, he expos- ed himself to ridicule and jibing ques- tions of his fellow students by placing over the door of his room a large square of white cardboard on which was inscribed in bold outlines the sin- gle letter V. Disregarding comment and question, the young man applied himself to his work, ever keeping in mind the height to which he wished to climb, the first step toward which was signified by Abe mysterious V. Four yea later, after receiving the compliments of professors and stu- dents on the way be bad acquitted himself as valedictorian of his class, young Maynard called the attention of his fellow graduates to the letter over his door. Then a light broke in upon them, and they cried out: "Is it possible that you had the vale- dictory in mind when you put that V over your door?" "Assuredly I bad," was the emphatic reply. On he climbed, from height to height, becoming successively professor of mathematics in the University of Ten- nessee, lawyer, member of congress, attorney general of Tennessee, United States minister to Constantinople and finally postmaster general.—Success, Snuff Spoons. All the world is familiar with snuff- boxes, but snuff spoons are pretty little, refinements of which this generation has hardly beard. Very probably they came into use about two years after Sir George Rooke's expedition to Vigo bay in 1702, when he captured half a ton of tobacco and snuff from the Spanish galleons, and snuff thus be- came a common article in England One of the characters in a comedy published at Oxford in 1704, entitled "An Act at Oxford," by Thomas Baker, says, "But I carry sweet snuff for the ladies," to which Arabella replies: "A spoon too. That's very gallant, for to see some people run their fat fingers into a box is as nauseous as eating without a fork." In the forties and fifties snuff spoons were still in use 011 the Scottish border. They were of bone and of a size to go into the snuffbox. People fed their noses, It was said, as naturally as they carried soup to their mouths. As late as 1877 a farmer at Norham -on -Tweed was seen using one.—Gentleman's Mag- azine. Marvelous Chicken Legs. The mechanism of the leg and foot w.a chicken or other bird that roosts on a limb is a marvel of design. It often seems strange that a bird will sit on a roost and sleep all night without fall- ing off, but the explanation is perfectly simple. The tendon of the leg of a bird that roosts is so arranged that when the leg is bent at the knee the claws are bound to contract and thus hold with a sort of death grip the limb around which they are placed. Put a chicken's feet on your wrist and then make the bird sit down, and you will have a practical illustration on your skin that you will remember for some time. By this singular arrangement, seen only 1n such birds as roost, they will rest comfortably and never think of holding on, for it is impossible for them to let go till they stand up.—Pres- byterian. The Disadvantage of Delicacy. The editor sent her little story back, with a polite note praising its delicacy, but saying it was unsuitable to his magazine. Again she sent it forth. Once more it was returned with kind words for its delicate touches and re- grets that it was unavailable. When a third time the little story bad been praised for its delicacy, but rejected, the authoress was in despair. "It looks to me," she said, "as if my story was so delicate that it had gone into a decline."—New York Mail and Express. A Popular Rost. i t f o 0 n the Belgian hare.

Mr. Pennington has introduced a -bill iu the house increasing the amount of state aid to rural schools from $75 to $180. - Fifteen legislative enactments were signed by Gov. Van Sant last week, those of general interest providing that when insane persons are taken from au asylum before being dis- charged their friends must bear the expense of their return if found necessary; declaring central railway time to be the legal standard in Min- nesota; providing for a commission to revise the tax laws; repealing the laws of 1895 relative to the use of broad tired -wagons in the reduction of road taxes;. authorizing the invest- ment of school funds in local bonds where the total indebtedness does not exceed fifteen per cent of the assess- ed valuation; and fixing the penalty for kidnapping at imprisonment for twenty-five years. The repeal of that portion of the revenue law requiring stamps upon checks, notes, ►mortgages, express receipts, telegraph messages, money orders, proprietary articles, etc., will not only relieve the people of about - $20,000,000 in taxes, but also of a vast amount of petty annoyance •. far in excess of the expenditure in- volved. It takes eruct July tat. Instead of spending $50,000 in a building and exhibits at the Buffalo exposition, the legislature has sensibly reduced the amount to $20,000 with- out a building. The state will con- sequently save $30,000, and lose noth- ing in the general results. C. G. Schulz, superintendent of schools in Nicollet County, has been appointed assistant state superintend- ent of public instruction, but will not enter upon his duties until July lst.

Walbridge; formerly in the milling and elevator business at North- field and now president of the Dun- das Milling Company, is in trouble because referee in bankruptcy Doran has refused to consider his application for a discharge from bankruptcy and has so advised Judge Lochren, of the United States court. A number of Walbridge's creditors claim that assets to the amount of nearly $40,000 have been concealed. When the petition in bankruptcy was made, in Aagust, .1899, the assets were in ex- cess of the liabilities nearly $22,000. A year later this state of affairs was reversed, and a report was made that the liabilities exceeded the assets by $32,000. Referee Doran says the charges in a manner have been sub- stantiated, and that an investigation should bemade.—$t, Paul Globe. A lamb was Gorn at the Bronson farm this week which will proba►)ly be a new and distinct spe ''men among the list of freaks.

The four boys and grand- children were all there, making the family reunion complete. The guests on their arrival were pleasantly greeted by the groom, who appro- priately wore his wedding hat. This hat, a silk beaver, did similar service on his wedding day fifty years ago, back in Buski, N. Y., and in spite of its long service and its once having' been crushed under a falling sack of wheat, is very well preserved. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers, yellow predominating, as well as heavily laden with fruits, cakes, meats, and other eatables. Eleven chickens took a conspicuous part in the festivities. TI'. bride's cake was white frosted, bearing in gold letters the initials of the wedding couple and the dates 1851-1901. A number of presents were given by friends.' Games were played, and the party had an enjoyable time till eleven p. m.

The man was leaning his back against the mantelpiece, gloomily observing the points of his boots. They were good boots, but hardly worth the amount of serious observa- tion lie was giving them. To any per- son of moderate understanding the sit- uation was obvious. To the two actors in it it was becoming embarrassing. The man moved first. • "You are sure your mind is made up, Georgie?" The girl stopped bumming abruptly and turned round. "What is the use of beginning again?" she said, with an impatient movement. "You know one cannot serve two masters. I am going to give my life to my art." "But, Georgie, you know what it means to me. I mean you know I could never change or forget." "Why not?" she returned quickly. "That is just what I wanted to speak to you about. You see"—and her proud head was raised a trifle her—"you only want a wife who can see at you get a good dinner every day and sew the buttons on your shirts. You have known us all for years. Why do you expect me, the unpractical one of the family, to snatch at the offer of this post? You would have shown more sense in asking Madge or Lillian, and I dare say one of them might have bad you." For a moment there was a dangerous gleam in his eyes, but it changed to a tender look of amusement as the girl flung herself viciously into a chair with the air of a sulky child. "I suppose it would have been .more sensible," he agreed, "only I don't love either Madge or Lilian. If you will on- ly have me," he continued, a twinkle in his eye and abject humility in his voice, "I will domy best to overcome my disgraceful appetite and dine off a sentimental song if you deem it best. I will also look out for some patent shirt fasteners which will save you the trouble of sewing on buttons." Georgie looked up quickly. "You needn't try to be funny, Rex!" she said severely. "You know quite well I should have to become a domes- ticated woman If I married, and I won't. I am going to devote my life to music, and if I were to sacrifice that and marry yon I should stop loving you in a fortnight and hate you in a month. There; that's all!" Rex looked amp quickly. "You would stop• loving me in a fort- night?" he asked. "Then I may infer you have begun already?" "You may infer nothing, sir!" she re- torted sharply, but her face was crim- son. "By Jove, that's the nearest I've ever got!" thought Rex. "I believe she does half like me, but must make her cave in before she'll respect me." There was a moment's pause, then he said gently: "I beg your pardon, Georgie. I be- lieve you may be right, after all, though it is hard to think of giving you up." And be sighed softlsv, but resign- edly. "If- you are not too angry with Hie, will you tell me whieh you think it would be best for me to try to like, Lilian or Madge?" I am so glad, Rex, you are sensible t last! Really, I have thought it out arefully, and, though Lilian is awful - sweet and—and everything, I think edge is the one best suited to you. ou see, she .cooks splendidly and nows exactly how everything ought be done in a house and would be erfectly satisfied if you kissed her nce a month or so and occasionally id the dinner was excellent. She ally would, she is so easily pleased. -hile I— Well, you know what I a ly Y k to p 0 - re a m." "Yes, I know what you are," he re- plied quietly. "You are. very young." She misunderstood him, as he had intended she should, and assented eagerly. 'Yes, I am young—only 19—and you are nearly 30. Madge is nearest you in age, and I believe you could make her love you if you tried." "Shall I try? Do you want me to?" "Yes, of course.I want you to. It is for your own sake. She would make you a better wife than I because I don't want even to be loved. I am satisfied with my life as it is. "All right, Georgie. In a month I shall have made up my mind, and I will tell you. Goodby." "Goodby," she murmured, vaguely afraid of what she had done. She tried to reason out the cause of her de- pression, but it seemed to have no cause, and With a lagging step she made her way to the sunny den which she shared with her sisters. Madge was sitting there alone, sew- ing and singing gayly. She looked up, with a smile, as Georgie entered, and an unusual merriment danced in her eyes. "Guess who's been here?" exclaimed Madge. "Who?" "Rex. And he's got a box tor -The ne Loves of Henrietta' tomorrow, and he's asked mother and me to go." "I'm so glad," said Georgie, but with singular want of enthusiasm. And Madge stole a furtive look at her, and the corners of her mouth quivered. A month had passed. Once more Georgie stood at the same window, softly humming. She was waiting for Rex, and her face was very pale. It was the same face still, but there was a difference, the difference which (narks every girl's face when she be- comes a woman. She had learned her lesson and borne her punishment in silence. Today she had nerved herself for a supreme effort that she might do no wrong to the sister who had stepped into the place she had voluntarily re- signed. She had thought love not worth the sacrifice of art, and if art without love had turned to dust and ashes in her hand who was to blame but herself? She was waiting for Rex—Rex, w had fallen such a helpless victim Madge that he had had scarcely a 1 or a word to spare for her the wh month. It was this that had fi taught her what she had lost and t had afterward nerved her to play part—for a week's experience h taught her that it was only a part careless indifference and entire sorption in her art. When it seemed too hard for her, s reminded herself sternly of her o words, "I am satisfied with my life itis." "They shall never see I am not sat fled," she said and struggled on. Today there was a set, stern look her face, for this was to be the s preme ordeal, and at present there w no one to see her. But as she lean her head listlessly against the windo there came from the hall the sound a familiar whistle, and instantly h expression changed. A smiling, e pectant face greeted Rex as he entere and she scrutinized him with playf anxiety. "The funeral and wedding march are side by side on the piano," she b gan, with an affected attempt at se ousness, "but I was waiting to choo between them till I have seen yo face." "What does nay face tell you?" h asked. She looked at him critically. "That the momentous question is t be asked no later than this evening, she replied. "Good luck attend you." "Wrong. Try again." "Is it possible it is to be postponed till tomorrow morning?" And she held out her hand with a playful gesture of sympathy. "Wrong again. I see I must tell you." He had seized the hand she had offer- ed and was looking her straight in the face. "What do you say to the question having been asked already?" The last month had wrought many changes in Georgie. She had, for one thing, learned to keep her face under control, and only the slightest trem- bling of the eyelid showed that she was taken by surprise. "My dear brother to be," she said, re- gaining possession of her hand, "I con- sider I have been grossly ill treated in having this fact sprung upon me so suddenly. I had heard of a delightful little book called 'The Right Word In the Right Place'—a help to those peo- ple born devoid of tact. I was going to purchase it in the assurance that I should find a paragraph entitled, 'What to say to a future brother-in-law,' or words to that effect, and now you pounce upon me like this and crush me. I feel unfit for conversation. You had better go." And she turned majestical- ly away. "I will. Only you must first allow me to make one remark. You did not ask what Madge said to me." He paused impressively. "She has refused me." It was his trump card, and he was growing desperate. He took advantage of Georgie's back being still turned to- ward him, and, creeping softly behind her, took one glance at her face before she knew he had moved. It was enough. "Georgie," be cried, "hasn't the play gone far enough? I am tired of acting, and I want you, Georgie—I can't tell you how much I want you!" There was passionate entreaty in his voice. "What did you mean," she asked slowly, "by saying you were 'tired of acting?' I don't understand." "No; I know," be answered guiltily. "I've got to tell you. Madge and I have been playing at being lovers dur- ing the last month. I have even asked her to marry me, and she has refused. It was the natural climax to the play, she said, and she told me to do it, be- cause nothing else would put you off your guard. I bad to know whether you loved me or not," he ended des- perately. "It was very cruel," she whispered at last. "Ah, Georgie, don't!" he entreated. "I thought of that, but, honestly, would you ever have known you loved me if we had gone on in the same old way?" There was a moment's silence. "I should never have known I loved you," she answered softly.—Chicago Times -Herald. 'POPIILAR FASHIONS. THE PICTURESQUE AND THE CON- VENTIONAL FIND EQUAL FAVOR.

In 1899 the United States paid over $32,000,000 for imported raw silk and in 1900 over $45,000,000. The United States agricultural secretary believes that a large amount of cheap and now unemployed labor among the colored youth in the southern states could be made available. for domestic silk cul- ture. EVENING DRESS IN BLACK AND WHITE. falls away almost in tunic fashion the dress, to reveal an underdress of lace. With this either very tight sleeves fit- ting closely to the wrist are Worn or very short sleeves made of a tiny puff, . the latter being, of course, essentially empire. Quite as conspicuously as the empire dress forms the idol for evening wear so does the little bolero distinguish all the day dresses. But these picturesque styles do not detract from the popularity of the lace and jeweled frock made on the more conventional lines, with short sleeves, pouched bodice and narrow belt, and we still rejoice in the plain cloth dress- es with many stitcliings and lace or lisse cravat tied with a velvet knot and set into jeweled ends. The evening dress illustrated is the always desirable combination of white and black. It is of crepe de chine bear- ing an applique of black lace in waved lines and single motifs, and the bodice is tucked with the lace brought round the figure in very becoming fashion and the llsse fastened into the center of the decolletage with an ornamented button. The very latest mode for the coiffure is to dress it low, but women in gener- al should be very careful before they adopt this style. With a classical head and Well proportioned figure nothing is more beautiful, but for ordinary folk it is distinctly trying. With the present low style of hair dressing it is absolutely necessary to have the hair full and loose in the front and. of course, waved. Rumor THE MAKING OF A MAPi. The Food the Healthy Boy Crave and Ought to Have. Recent cases have come to my know edge of boys just entering manhoo who have failed in health. "The bod has grown tall and slender, but no filled out," the fond mother has said "and yet we have been so careful o his eating." As if to prevent a hearty growing boy from eating as much as h Wauted was the sure way to perfect health! When some member of the family, noticeably the mother, has suffered from dyspepsia, and is under the ad- vice of a specialist for this particular disorder, her condition ought not to be allowed to disturb the appetites of the other members of the family. As she sits at the table with scant relish for food, and sees her hungry 14 -year- old son stow away enough for three ordinary persons, according to her esti- mate, slit sighs audibly and suggests that "one helping ought to 'be enough." She little comprehends the needs of the growing muscles and bony structure and vital organs. All are crying out for more fuel, and with the boy's hearty exercise and vigorous growth comes this imperious demand for the right sort of food and plenty of it. Plain, wholesome food, such as meat, eggs, urill:, cereals and legumes, cooked well, ought, with the boy who has plen- ty of exercise, to produce a man who can endure the strain of life without breaking down at its very threshold. The trouble sometimes begins in the unwise effort of the female portion of the family to economize in the table fare. "Meat Is expensive; therefore we will find its substitute." Instead of the life giving steak fruit is given the place of honor at the break- fast table. Hungry boys are set down to a steal of uncooked fruit—an orange, it may be—and a dish of oatmeal and then sent off to school or to work on this indigestible combination. The or- ange is good enough at the right time and place, and so is the thoroughly rooked oatmeal, but as substitutes for a broiled steak on a winter morning they are a complete failure. All the morning long at his work the young fellow has this indefinable gnaw- ing. He cannot tell whence it comes, but it is there, and he only knows It re- mains there until it is relieved by a supply of food. If noon brings him a sandwich and a piece of pie, be must still wait until a 6 o'clock dinner, when the exhausted system bas begun to draw on itself. No amount eaten at that hour can make up for the loss of the other two meals, especially if this one is presided over by the gentle moth- er. who cannot understand how any- body can eat so much. A healthful ap- petite will crave the roast of beef or leg of mutton, with vegetables and fruit.—Table Walk. Betraying Buckles. General-Duhesme was a distinguish- ' ed French veteran, slain by the Prus- sians after the rout of Waterloo. He 1- was full of resource and had great skill d and presence of mind. At Pescara, y when he was in great danger, a large t fortress in front and a savage insur- rection in his rear, his own common f sense saved him. "Who commands at Pescara?" he asked a soldier. e "There are two." "What is the grade of the chief in command ?" "A brigadier general." "His name?" "De Pietramaggiore." "His title?" "A marquis." "His age?" "About 70." "Is he well preserved? Does he keep his color?" "He is thin and pallid." "Is his voice strong and manly?" "It Is weak and dull." "Is he lively, gay?" "Neither the one nor the other." "What does lie wear on bis head?" "He is powdered, and his hair is done in locks." "Has he boots and spurs?" "No; be wears silk stockings, shoes and great buckles." "Great buckles!" cried Duhesme. "Bring up the guns and begin firing! The place is mine!" Smart Midwinter Styles. The two models from Vogue repre- sent some of the most striking among swell fashions. One figure shows a long, loose cloak of pale castor cloth with COIFFURES, LOW AND HIGH. has it that some exclusive people will soon take up the wearing of straight hair, but it is doubtful if the majority will let the present becoming undula- tion slip into disuse. All sorts of coiffure ornaments are worn in the evening and, indeed, in the daytime. Ornamental combs prevail, and a wide black velvet bow is always becoming, whether worn across the front or at the back. The single flow- rr, a rose by preference, commends it- ielf as a coquettish fashion. A Wrinkle In Cooking Steak. The proper way to cook a beefsteak is to broil it, but oftentimes it may happen that it is not convenient, and the steak must be fried. This may be done very satisfactorily if a little thought is given to the matter. Put an iron saucepan over the fire and let it become very hot; then rub the pan with a piece of butter and put in the steak and quickly brown one side; then turn it and brown the other side. This will keep in the juices. Cover the pan and cook the steak three minutes; again turn it and cook it three minutes longer. If the stilak is not of extra thickness, the meat will be cooked sufficiently in that length of time. Place the steak on a hot platter, spread It with butter, season with salt and liepper and serve. - Pone Pay. Dr. Pill—That's the worst paying family 1 ever attended.

Always an Efficient Silver Cleaner. There is nothing quite so good as am- monia for removing the dark tarnish which is soon deposited on silver, or on almost any metal surfaces. Lemon juice also is a very efficient cleanser of filigree work, but the ob- jects so cleansed with this or with am- monia, for that matter, must be rinsed with clean water and properly dried.

An Excuse For a Pardon. When the stern Duke of Wellington was prime minister under George IV, he managed the old monarch easily enough, but when he attempted the same tactics with the young Queer! Victoria he met bis match. She con- stantly outwitted him. One of his earliest official acts was to bring be- fore her a court martial death sentence which he expected her to sign as a matter of course. A soldier was to be executed for desertion. and as the death warrant was placed before the queen by the duke she raised her eyes, full of tears, to his face, saying: "Have you nothing to say in behalf of this poor man?" "Nothing," s ad i h duke, the standing at attention like one of his own privates; "he has deserted three times." "Oh, your grace, think again," plead- ed the queen as if she were asking for the life of her dearest friend. "Well, your majesty, he certainly is a bad soldier, but there was somebody who spoke for his good character. He may be a tolerably good fellow in civil life." "Oh, thank you," said the queen in heartfelt tones, and before the aston- ished duke could utter a word of pro- test she had written across the paper the word "Pardoned." Perambulating Goat Dairies. There are a couple of European dai- ries in Athens whose proprietors keep cows, but they do business mostly with the foreigners :end with those Greeks who ape foreign manners. Your genuine Athenian believes the goat to be tire, proper milk producing animal, and he regards the cow in this connection about the same as Americans do the mare. The milkman takes his animals with him, jangling their Bells and sneezing. "Gala!" be shouts, with a quick, star- tling cry, with a "g" whose guttural quality is unattainable by adult learn- ers and usually unperceived by them. When a customer comes to the door, he strips the desired quantity into the proffered receptacle before her vigilant eyes, selecting one of the goats and paying no attention to the others, who understand the business as web as he does. Patiently they stand about, chew, ing the cud or resting on contiguous doorsteps. • When their master moves on, they arise and follow, more faithful than dogs.—Scribner's Magazine. How Do You Pronounce "Dog?" How do you pronounce "dog?" The chances are that, if you are an average Massachusetts citizen, you pronounce the "o" rather broad, like "o" in song. The Century Dictionary, which is a very indulgent dictionary indeed, al- lows you to pronounce it so if you wish, but no other dictionary does. You should really sound the "o" as in not. Likewise how do you pronounce "hog?" Even the Century won't let you say "hawg." This reminds me that a friend has written the following beautiful but abstruse poem: MY HOG AND MY DOG. [A lemon in pronunciation.] I once owned a roving hog And likewise a little dog, Whom I chained unto a log To keep him from a bog Which wan near. That my faithful little dawg, Despite the chain and lawg, Would pursue that roving hawg And get drowned in the bawg Was my fear. —Boston Journal. Clever Bilkins.

With the fashionable revival of knit- ting, crocheting, tatting, etc., many things that were favorites of the past come up again, and among them few are more attractive than the soft, warm, comfortable garments in imita- tion astrakhan for a small child. With a bone croeflet hook, No. 8 or 9, and four ply fingering, make a chain of A LITTLE DUTCH HOOD. any even number of stitches, including the stitch on the hook Work into the loops an alternate stitch of double crochet (D C) and picot stitch, which is [Wade as follows: Insert the hook, draw the wool through the loop; then through one, six or seven titres before drawing it through two. Repeat these two stitches, a D C and a picot to the end of the row; end with 1 I) C. Turn with one chain and repeat, but in this and every row hereafter take both sides of the loops. In working, the picots must be kept on one side of the work, toward you in one row and away 'from you in the next. The gar- ments described and illustrated are worked in the same stitch. Directions are given for the shaping. For the quaint little Dutch hood take about two ounces of white or gray fingering. Make a chain of 20. Work for about 312 or 4 inches for the back of the crown. In the next row, and with the picots facing you, work to within two stitches of the end. Turn with one chain, and work to within two stitches of the other end. Repeat this row until only seven stitches re- main. Break off the wool and with the picots facing you work from the right hand corner of the crown up the side, across the seven stitches and down the other side of the crown. Work from end to end of the crown for three inches, thus forming the top and sides of the. hood. With the picots facing you again, work to within 12 stitches of the end (six picots), turn with one chain and work to within 12 stitches of the other end. Work two rows from end to end. Work to within 1S stitches of the end, turn and work to within 18 stitches of the other end. Work two rows from end to end. Work one row more from end to end and around the back of the neck, missing two stitches (1 D C, 1 picot) four times in the center of the back. Work once all around in D C and finish off. This hood looks better lined with a thin silk, but it is not necessary to do so. For a muff to match use four ounces of fingering. Make a chain of 60 and work in the same stitch for about 91 MUFF TO MATCH 1100D. or 10 inches. The length should be 1,2 or 2 inches more than the breadth.

One day while riding a donkey through the country west of Peking I noticed that the women of the country villages, mostly fanners' wives and daughters, did not bind their feet. I said to the donkey driver who was running along beside me, "The country women do not bind their feet, do they?" No," "Why?" "They 'do not bind their feet" "Why is It that the Chinese women bind their feet?" - "They bind their feet." "But why do they do It?" "That is their custom." "But why is it their custom?" - "There is no why—no reason what- ever." Ask a child, "Why did your brother not come to school today?" "My brother did not come to school today." Or inquire of a man. "Why is it that the Chinese build a pagoda 13 stories high?" and he will most probably answer, "'That is the way to build a pagoda."—Isaac Taylor Ueadland of University of Peking, in Washington Star.

Ask a Bavarian, all will tell you that it is impossible f portionless maiden to find a husb If a girl has no money for a do therefore, she sets herself at wor save one. Marriage in Germany is nearly tirely a matter of business. The fa of the girl announces the sum whit to go with her, while the papa of prospective' husband holds out more. That is the first stage of negotiations. Little by little each yi to the other. Finally, often a months of delay, the contract is dra up with minute specifications by notary, and then the lovemaking begin. The courtship is very circ scribed and is probably not altoget satisfactory, for the German maide. a romantic creature, and the opportu ties she has for getting acquain with her husband before marriage very meager. The parental supervision is so inb in the nation that even the governor takes a hand in it with its servants. German army officer is a splendid cr ture to the eye„ but his pay is ve small, ranging from a matter of $5 week for a lieutenant to $50 a we for a full fledged general. In order prevent the possibility of seediness appearance or style of living the go eminent forbids an officer to marry u less he deposits a certain sum—it $20,000 for a lieutenant and becom gradually less for each higher grade with the : uthorities, the income which is doled out to him seoriannu ly. This is in reality putting a price the man, because the greater numb of German officers are very poor al can get the money required only fro their brides. The money which a wife brings her husband, unless there is an expre Notarial stipulation to the contrary, b cdnles absolutely the husband's prope ty. Woman in the eye of the law h practically no rights except such as h husband may allow her. He treats ll very often as merely a piece of liv stock. If the woman rebels, which sh d very rarely, be displays a ver shu temper and an aptness for wield ing a,.poker or a walking stick in a us for which they were never meant. In a German newspaper one may a ways find a column devoted to watr monial announcements. There is n romance in these advertisements. Th man tells how much money he has an how much he wants. The worna names her dowry to the very pfennig Very often the man has no money a all and expresses his desire to marr into a business, but the woman know that it is useless to advertise at all un less she has some money, if it amount only to $100 or so. which may be re garded as the lowest suit] worthy o consideration as a mitgift. On the other ha d, it is the woman's privilege to namr he calling which she prefers the mai should follow. She usually chooses an official clerk or por- ter, a policeritat or a car conductor, all of whom have tenure of office and an old age pension. She has more of an eye to stability than to ambition. It is in the so called higher classes of society that one finds the baldest and most businesslike matrimonial trans- actions. There are few young men of this class who have either money or any prospect of making any otherwise than by a wealthy marriage.

They confess the matter frankly to any one and every one who will lis- ten. Traveling American heiresses are not so plentiful in Germany as in France and Italy; still, they are to be found. It would seem, however, that notwith- standing the fact that German titles are at least a little more valuable than those of the Latin countries they do not possess the same glamour in femi- nine eyes, because the German title captures the American bag of gold comparatively rarely. Perhaps it is be- cause the Teutonic wooing is more ar- rogant and supercilious than insinuat- ing. Of all countries Germany is perhaps that in which romanticism flourishes most.

A VERY PARTICULAR BIRD. If the Bathing Dish Didn't Snit Hint, He Went Unwashed. "Birds have as much character as human beings," said a specialist on birds. "Some are the most arrant little aristocrats, while others are regular lit- tle plebeians. I had a little fellow some time ago who, despite all my ef- forts, would not bathe. Each morning when, with his white: porcelain tub in my band, 1 approached his cage, he would resolve himself into the sulkiest, dreariest little ball of feathers you can possibly imagine. I coaxed and plead- ed; I even bribed. Bathe he would not. So consistent was he in his determina- tion not to bathe that I named him Tramp. One morning I broke the tub, and in its place I took a shallow blue and white dish of Japanese ware. Tramp eyed ale for a moment with all his old hostility, and then as he caught sight of the pretty dish he flew down from his perch with chirps of joy and darted into the water before I could take my hand from the cage. "I had found the way to his heart, and his morning bath now became a daily source of joy to both of us. But ont fatal morning I broke the blue and white dish. In an apologetic manner I brought to Tramp once more the regu- lation white bath dish, hoping that his cleanly habits were by this time so in- grained that he would overlook the prosaic appearance of his tub. Not so. An angry flutter of wings, a threaten- ing little beak, a perfect tempest of shrill cheeps and twitterings and then sulky silence on the topmost perch. "So it went on till I secured another blue and white dish and then peace and harmony and morning baths again."—New York Commercial Adver- tiser. Railroad Man's Prayer.

How Blaine Remembered Henderson It was before General Henderson had been elected to congress, and Blaine was speaker of the house. Henderson was in Washington, and naturally Blaine was one of the statesmen that he much desired to meet, and the op- portunity came of a morning just as the speaker was passing through the lobby on his way to the marble ros- trum. The formal greetings were ex- changed in a brief moment, and Gener- al Henderson was left to see the swing- ing doors close on the form of the Re- publican leader. Six years later General Henderson again came to Washington, this time to get Iowa divided into two judicial dis- tricts. He put up at Wormley's, where Blaine also lived, it being in those days a fashionable and flourishing hostelry. A week or so after his arrival from Iowa, as General Henderson was en- tering the dining room, he met Blaine after having passed and repassed him many times. The Maine man grasped him cordially by the hand, called him by name and inquired about Iowa. "I bad heard of Senator Blaine's wonderful faculty for remembering names," says General Henderson. "When I had seated myself at the table, I beckoned to the head waiter. "'Hasn't Mr. Blaine asked you my name?' I said to him. 'Now think hard and be sure of your answer.' "'Yes, sah,' replied the waiter. 'He done called me ovab las' night an asked yo' name an all about yo'. I told him yo' was Mistah Henderson.' "— Washington Post. Origin of the Yosemite Valley. It is perfectly obvious to those famil- iar with glacial phenomena that Yo- semite is quite an ordinary and neces- sary product of glacial erosion under the conditions prevailing in that local- ity. The main glacier came down Te- naya canyon, cutting it to a steep but fairly uniform grade. Yosemite valley is but a continuation of that gorge. The end of the glacier at the time that it was cutting Yosemite extended not far beyond Fort Monroe. It remained there for a long time and therefore plowed out the bottom of the valley to a considerable depth. Branch glaciers joined the Tenaya glacier when it filled Yosemite, coming down the valleys of Yosemite, Little Yosemite, Illilouette and Bridal Veil and other creeks and forming hanging valleys at the junc- tion points. The formation of the ver- tical cliffs of the valley may have been due to undermining and may have been aided by the cleavage of the rocks. On the recession of the glacier doubtless the bottom of the valley was occupied by a lake which has since been partial- ly filled by detritus and drained by the erosion of Merced river cutting through the rock wall at the foot of the valley. —National Geographic Magazine. Ppboa Preot People, There are entire communities of poi son proof people who partake of doses of white arsenic with as much zest as the average person partakes of a meal. Chief among these singularly gifted people are the Stytian and Corinthian shepherds who inhabit the districts of Lamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo - ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge mountains. The s-urdy mountaineers consider that arsenic improves their wind for chamois climbing. Solne years ago Dr. Knapp put two of these men through their paces be- fore the German Society of Physicians assembled at Gratz. The one ate six grains of white a'senic, or enough to kill three men, without experiencing the slightest inconvenience, The other partook of four gttins of yellow arse- nic, or orpiment. with equal impunity. It was explained that, seeing the good effect of the drug upon the coats and condition of their frocks, many of these shepherds start the practice under the impression that taken in u,oderation it is good for human'beings also. Usually started s-ith a small weekly dose spread upon tread and butter, the embryo arsenic eater has to undergo a very severe test of his devotion to the drug. Violent sickness and burning pains accompany its first use, and the druspeedily asserts its fatal power over Its devotee. Any attempt to leave off the drug is generally fatal. The women of these arsenic eating districts are famous for their beautiful complexions and luxuri- ant tresses. The Missing Turk. Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at Marseilles in a spectacular play in which she made her entree accompa- nied by six Turkish slaves. A line on the programme announced that these six Turks would accompany Mme. Bernhardt, but when the time came for them to go on one of the youngsters had disappeared. Sarah mustered the five in order and wade her entrance with a grand flourish. The house was crowded, but not a hand clap greeted her as she appeared. Then a still, small voice in the gallery murmured some- thing in an indignant tone. Fifty voices immediately took gip the strain, and in ten seconds more the whole house was shouting the same phrase. Bernhardt strained every nerve to catch what they were complaining about. She knew the phrase began with '•Manque," but the rest of It was lost in the general hubbub. For a full minute the tumult continued. Then Sarah, muttering things below her breath, rushed like a-fun•y dev.0 tv the footlights. In the Croat row the ac- tress had spotted one man who was not taking part in the hullabaloo. Pointing at him, the actress exclaimed sternly: "You seem to be the only sensible per- son in the house.

General Francis Vinton Greene was one of the strictest disciplinarians in all the army that went out to fight Spain. He was in command of the Sev- enty-first regiment, N. G. N. Y., at Camp Black, near Hempstead, N. Y. As the regiment was breaking camp on the way to the front an old gentle- man interrupted General Greene, who was talking with the wrier. "Sir," he said, "will you grant a brief leave of absence to Mr. Blank, a pri- vate in this regiment? FL is a son of the late Colonel Blank of the army. His mother Is dying, and she is asking for her boy. He will join kis command at Tampa." "I am very sorry, sir," replied Gen- eral Greene, "but it will be impossible to deviate in any case front the rule by which we are all bound. My own father lies dying at home, pet I cannot go to him." And General Greene, as a matter of fact, did not for many wteks see his father, who died before the Spanish war was ended. Missed His Change, During his lecture to chffiren at the Society of Arts Mr. E. Walter Maunder told his audience an instructive story. A. certain lecturer on astronomy ob- served that some of the students were not paying due attention. "Mr. So-and- so," he called out to one of them, "will you be good enough to tell is of what the corona is composed?' ?he student addressed hesitated for a r#oment and then blurted out, "I did kmw, sir, but I've forgotten." The prof4ssor looked at him and then exclaimed: "What a calamity! Here we have tie only man who ever knew the composition of the corona, and he has forgotten!"—London Chronicle. Where Girls Must Marry. In Russia if a girl desires to study at either of the universities etiquette requires that she should be married. Accordingly she goes through the civil form of marriage with one of the men students, whom she may never have seen before and perhaps may never speak to again. These marriages are perfectly legal, and if the contracting parties like each other they are united for life, but other- wise the marriage is dissolved when their university course is finished and both are free to marry again.

Treatment of Berne. Burns may be ordinary, but they lose none of their smart because of the ease 1 with which they are acquired. Some persons seem to have a perfect genius for getting burned. If they strike a match, it breaks and scorches them, while a visit to the kitchen ends in a burls from the oven or a scald from hot water or, steam. Of course the right thing to do with a burn is to get it away from all contact with the air and to do this with all possible haste. The necessary articles for the treat- ment should be on hand, and they are baking soda—not washing soda, notice —fresh fat of some sort and several thicknesses of cotton cloth. It is an excellent plan to have a bottle of Car- ron oil ready for such emergencies. Carron o11 la raise hr a6 -.-.-•o ,.,e.,,,.. - equal parts of linseed Oil and limowa. ter. If the skin is broken over the burn, use the oil without the soda. Otherwise moisten the soda with olive oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold cream and apply it. Over this wrap the cloth. Cotton batting is often used for covering the burn and keeping out the air, but it is not to be recommend- ed. It is not a good plan to use flour, dusting It over a burn, for it frequently hardens and is of little comfort. One of the simplest measures for a superficial burn is to apply the white of an egg with a soft piece of old muslin, adding more as it dries. An Anecdote of Verdi. The first production of Verdi's op- era "Othello" took place at Milan, and all the prominent musical critics of Eu- rope foregathered in the Cathedral City in honor o2 the occasion. Among them was a Parisian journalist of wide reputation and admitted authority in the musical world. His first care on his arrival in Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres- ent at one of the final rehearsals. The composer received him with ex- treme politeness, but replied that he could not possibly grant his request, as he had decided that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private, and be could not make an exception in the fa- vor of any one journalist, however dis- tinguished. The Paris critic, far from pleased at this answer, protested that in these circumstances his account of the opera might not be all he should like it to be. "You see," he explained to the composer, who affected not quite to understand, "I shall have to telegraph my article the same evening. It will necessarily be hastily written, and the rmprossion in Paris the next day may suffer in consequence." But Verdi was more than equal to the occasion. "My dear sir," he made answer, "I do not write for 'the next day.' " The critic bowed himself out. Utilising an Ancestor. A self made man with a taste for art, thinking he would like to have about his house some marble present- ments of his ancestors, ordered of a fifth rate sculptor a bust of his grand- father. In due time it was sent home, and after a few days, his admiration being exhausted, the wealthy man sent for his plumber. "I don't mind confessing to you," said the former, "that I don't appreci- ate the fine arts unless they are turned to some useful purpose. Now, I have something to suggest to you." And he proceeded to give some in- structions to the tradesman. A week later, on the anniversary of his birthday, the millionaire pointed out with pride to his guests in the mid- dle of his conservatory the bust of his grandfather, from the top of whose head rose gracefully a jet of limpid water, falling into a marble basin in which some fine gold and silver fish disported themselves.—Christian En- deavor World.

The Field For Amateur Efforts and Mala Points of the Process. It is unlikely that any but the most enthusiastic amateur would attempt to paper one of the more serious rooms of the house. But there are sometimes up stairs rooms which would form a happy hunting ground for those desir- ous of trying their hand at this particu- lar kind of amateur decorative employ- ment. If the walls are already covered with paper, this should be removed. Warm water and some sort of a scraper will assist in tearing off the old covering, and nail boles must be filled with plas- ter of parts. Having renewed the surface of the ale of meta of size. Size is made by boiling glue in water in- the proportion of one pound to two gallons, mixing well and allowing to stand till cold. The next thing is to cut the paper successfully. We first put the roll on the table and gradually undo it, letting the loose pieces fall on the floor and cutting along the edge of the paper close up to the pattern. In better class wall coverings this cutting off the edge is performed on both sides, but for cheap papers on one side only, the oth- er side being lapped over by the neigh- boring piece. The paper is now cut in- to lengths as required, a couple of inch- es being left as a safeguard. When the first piece is cut to the required length ready for the wall, the roll is undone and another piece cut the same length as the first. The pattern roust be made to match. and it is possible that a waste of three or four inches will have to be made on each piece on this ac- count, For the paste heat about a gallon (for a large room) of sifted flour to a smooth, stiff batter with cold water, adding an ounce or two of powdered alum; then pour in boiling water, stir - DAINTY BEDROOM PAPERS. ring briskly all the while, and reduce to a thick cream. When the paste loses its whiteness and looks clear, it is ready. Very thin paper requires corre• apondingly thin paste. First the paper is laid face down- ward on the table and the paste ap- plied in thin, even surfaces. The top of the piece is then pulled and doubled back on itself and another portion 01 the back pasted. When this process is complete, the piece is seized by the two top corners, which are carefully placed up against the cornice or ceil- ing, with an allowance of about half an inch for margin. This top edge is pressed to the wall, so as to stick, the paper is stretched downward and a mark made at the bottom where it reaches the wainscot. A clean distem- per brush is next used down the mid- dle of the piece of paper, and when it is so fixed in position, being made per- pendicular by means of a plumb line, the scissors are drawn across it at the edge of the cornice or ceiling and at the top of the wainscot to separate the margins that have been left. A clean cloth is then worked over the paper from the middle to the edges until it lies evenly over the wall. The Theory of Woolen Bedclothing. The idea of having exclusively wool- en bedclothing is that the exhalations of the body may escape in the same way that the carbonic acid gas does, and woolen clothing, being porous, per- mits the escape of these exudations, which cotton or linen clothing will ab- sorb, with the result so often noticea- ble, an unpleasant odor around the bed- room in the mor•nia' It is generally believed that the sleep- er finds the best rest when his bed is placed with its head toward the north, says The Household.

Clement, the Preston bank wrecker, wse brought to the state prison a montd ago to serve ten years at hard labor, he was accom- panied to the prison gates by his wife. Mr. Clements wore stylish clothes, stylish shoes, and a diamond stud and gore watch am. chain. He was also proud of his will cared for whis- kers and a fine head of hair. The substitution of a homely striped suit for stylish attire, the cropping of his hair and loss of iireute adornment on his face, made t changed man of him and he regretted it to an extent that brought tears to his eyes. He said to some one in speaking of the loss that he was admired by people as he passed along the street, and they would turn to .00k and remark "what a handsome man." That was before the change. Now he realizes that he is a homely man. As already stated his wife went along when he was taken to the prison in custody of the sheriff of Fillmore County. She wanted to see her husband in his new garb, and made a request to Gen. Reeve to allow her to say good -by to him after the change was efected. Deputy Warden Alexander suggested that it would be better to say au re- voir without waiting for the meta- morphose, but she insisted that it was her right as his wife to see him under changed conditions, and Gen. Reeve yielded to her request. She waited in the reception room for an hour and uutil the ex -banker had been put through the formula inei- dentai to prison regulations as to new arrivals, and then was escorted back to the office between the gates. Mrs. Clements was there when he was brought in, but did not recognize her husband. TLe custodian nodded in a way to indicate to Mrs. Clements that her husband was in her presence. The new prisoner was too overcome by the failure of his spouse to recog- nize him to say a word until after she with an ejaculation of surprise looked in wonder and added, "Papa, is that you?" With cmotiou iu h15 voice he replied, " Yes, mother, this is indeed I." The parting was a sad one, and for dare after the man who had been a banker for twenty-two years seemed clown spirited. When assign- ed to a cell in the upper tier the first night he was again horrified when he learned that he was domiciled next to a man under sentence for murder. i r ,`lements said in a confidential way that he has an income of $6,000 a year, and has no idea that he will have to• serve his sentence of ten years. He hts an impression that the people who knew him will soon secure a pardon for him and take him home in a special car, and that a great crowd of people with a brass baud will gree; him upon his return to Preston -Stillwater Gazette.

Olson has completed the examination of the papers sub- mitted in February from the various counties. The examinations were taken by three thousand, one hundred, and fifty-three applicants, and of this number one thousand, nine hun- dred, and five were successful. First grade certificates will be given to one hundred and fifty-four applicants, and one thousand, seven hundred, and fifty-one second grade certificates will be issued. In addition to the three thousand, one hundred and fifty-three students made up con- ditions iu various subjects. The showing made was much better than that of last year, fifteen per cent more being examined. The first grade certificates permit the bearer to teach in the state for five years, while the second grade certificates allow the holders to teach in their home coun- ties for two years. These latter, how- ever, are transferable to other counties. -St. Paul Pioneer Press. DINNER MODES OF TODAY. The Arrangement of the Table and the Order of Service. The mode of today requires that ex- treme and elegant simplicity be shown in arranging and decorating the table. The linen must be of the finest quality and as white as the pure north snow. Probably the most difficult part of ta- ble setting is the proper placing of any goldware one may have. All gilded ar- ticles are properly limited to the serv- ice of such things as fruit, salt, pepper, olives and the like. But silver or silver and pearl throughout are in better form. At table elegance requires the use of cut glass. No substitute, where for- mality is entertained, is permissible. Ofttimes the water in finger bowls is slightly perfumed. This is permissible and a matter left to the taste of the one arranging the dinner. Still strict table etiquette should not allow it. At any rate, the only perfume tolerable is a faint suggestive odor of attar of roses. If leaves are placed upon the table - and they should be there always -great care must be taken in their arrange- ment. They should decorate without obstructing, brighten and not oppress. They must not be so fragrant.that their odor could chance to offend. For this reason tuberoses and like flowers are excluded in table decoration. Oysters may be served before the soup, likewise small crabs in season, but these alone are admissible before the arrival of the soup. They form the only course which may appear upon the table when the dinner is announc- ed. As to the soup, it is preferable to serve some clear bouillon, as this course, opening the meal, should be an appetizing one, preparing for those more substantial. Next comes the fish course. Certain kinds may be garnished, but the inva- riable white potato, boiled, should be served at this time, although certain well known chefs err here in serving them a la creme and in other ways. Then one or more entrees follow and perhaps a releve, after which roasts and vegetables are in order, and after this another entree or releve, when the game course is served. In a less formal dinner the game course may be omitted. Here, with one more entree or releve, the dinner, properly speaking, ends. It is customary to open the dessert courses with a warm dish or pastry. This is followed by the various jel- lies and ices and at last by cake, fruit, bonbons and nuts. As to coffee, it is now dictated that this should be served to the guests in the drawing rooms. The foregoing are a few items from a resume in Table Talk of the art of din- ing well. Verdi and the Critics, No outsiders, not even members of the press, were allowed to be present at rehearsals of Verdi's operas. "A production of a work of mine," said Verdi, "is an affair between that work and the public. I do not write for the press, but for the public, who will sup- port me if my work is good or who will execute me if it is not. I do not care for aught else." M. de Nevers thus de- scribes Verdi's attitude at a dress re- hearsal of "Otello" in Paris, when the press was present against his wishes: "The critics were all placed in the corbeille of the amphitheater, some ten rows of stalls having been cleared away to make room for a table and chairs for Verdi, Boito and the direct- ors. MM. Sardou, Meilhac, Halevy, Obin, the director of fine arts, and two or three dignitaries and officials of the Opera sat behind in the remaining rows of stalls. Among the critics were MM. Reyer, Bruneau, Joncieres, Bel- laigue, Pessard, Corneau and Sarcey. The foreign press was represented by M. de Blowitz and myself, and as Ver- di came in all stood up, with hats off, and cheered the wonderful man. The orchestra joined, of course, in the ova- tion, and it was to the musicians that the master went, and, bowing his ven- erable head very low, he thanked them for the kind demonstration and shook hands with the nearest, but never once did he turn our way except for one mo- ment, when he took us all in with a side glance -an ugly one -and then for the rest of the evening, some live hours, ignored our presence completely." Food of Prehistoric Man. Upon examining some skulls dating back from the stone age Mr. Charters White, M. R. C. S., noted that several of the teeth, although quite free from caries, were thickly coated with tartar. It occurred to him that it would be possible by a rough analysis to identify any particles of food that might be im- bedded in this natural concrete and so reveal the character of the aliment partaken of by prehistoric man. Dis- solving the tartar in a weak acid, a residue was left which, under the mi- croscope, was found to consist of corn - husk particles, hairs from the outside of the husks; spiral vessels from vege- tables, particles of starch, the point of a fish tooth, a conglomeration of oval cells probably of fruit, the barblets of down and portions of wool. In addition to this varied list were some round red bodies the origin of which defied detection and many sandy particles, some relating to quartz and some to flint. These mineral fragments were very likely attributable to the rough stoneseused in grinding the corn and would account for the erosion of the masticating surfaces, which in many cases was strongly marked. This inquiry into the food of men who lived not less than 4,000 years ago is a mat- ter of great archaeological. interest. - Chambers' Journal. An Insoluble Was. A process has been patented in France for making bottle sealing wax insoluble in spirit. In it the usual colophony is replaced by resinates of the heavy metals or of the alkaline earths, to which can be added paraf- fins or silts of the fatty acids and any coloring matters, also insoluble in al- cohol.

WHERE COLORS COME FROM Africa Has a Bird Whose Plumage Will Not ',Wash.', "The man who devotes his life to the study of color in all its remarkable phases o.^icasionally comes across some queer facts," recently said the senior partner of a well known firm of artists' color men. "The printing of a newspa- per color supplement sets thousands of unsuspected toilers in motion. The nat- nral earth of Sienna and Umbria, in It- aly, produces the raw colors, and the same material fused the familiar `burnt sienna' and `burnt umber.' 'Turkey red' comes from the Indian madder plant. `Carmine' and the 'lakes' are squeezed cochineal. `Sepia' is, of course, taken from the cuttlefish. 'Gamboge' is the yellow sap of a Siamese tree. 'Ultra- marine' is, or should be, made from the priceless lapis lazuli, while 'prussian blue,' which was stumbled upon by ac- cident, is the burnt product of horses' hoofs and impure potassium carbonate. 'India ink' is made in China, 'blue black' is the charcoal of the vine stalk and 'bister' is made from ordinary wood ashes. "As you are probably aware, the dis- tinguishing feature of India ink is its refusal to 'run' when subsequently cov- ered with tinted washes. It is what the drapers call a 'fast' color, and for this reason is exclusively employed by en- gineers, draftsmen and others. "Most persons imagine that all nat- ural colors, such as those of birds': plumage, are `fast.' This is erroneous. The well known African touraco (plan- tain eater) is a case in point. If this bird is caught in a shower of rain, the brilliant crimson found in his plumage will `run,' leaving the erstwhile crim- son feathers a species of dirty white, notwithstanding that his green feath- ers will remain perfectly `fast.' Inquiry into this curious `running' trait reveals a marvelous provision of nature. A careful analysis of the crimson feath- ers shows that the brilliant coloring is due to the presence of a large quantity of copper." -Fiber and Fabric. HARD TO PURCHASE. The Peculiar Red Ribbon of the French Legion of Honor. The peculiar red ribbon which mem- bers of the Legion of Honor of France are entitled to wear is to be had in New York at one establishment, which is naturally sought out by Americans honored with this decoration. But they never have the satisfaction of get- ting the ribbon until the firm that has the exclusive sale of it has received official notice that the persons applying have the right to display it. "I know it," said one of the clerks the other day to a would be purchaser of the ribbon. "I know that you are a member of the legion and have a right to buy the ribbon, because I read your name in the paper and know who you are. But we have not received official notification of your appointment and you have not your diploma. So I could not sell you any of it. "We had to make this rule first be- cause the French government required It of us when we received the agency, but we also realize the necessity of it. All kinds of persons who have no right to this ribbon try to get hold of it. All of them pretend when they find that we sell it only to persons entitled to 'wear it either that they are members of the legion or that they are buying it on behalf of persons who do belong to the order. The ribbon is not like any other, and we know that if any of this ribbon is bought in New York that it comes from ns. For that reason we are particular to the extent of requiring documentary proof from every appli- cant unless we have received official notification of his right to wear it."- New York Sun. Braises. For an ordinary bruise such as re- sults from aa ill directed hammer or from a door shutting on one's finger use a mild astringent of some sort, such as witch hazel or vinegar. Keep the bruise constantly wet until the pain ceases, using a bandage of old muslin for wrapping. If the pain is very intense, laudanum may be added. After the pain has ceased and only dis- coloration and swelling remain to tell the tale It is a good plan to apply a stimulating liniment. This induces an extra flow of fresh blood to the spot. In the case of a severe bruise the sup- ply of blood to the injured part must be lessened by elevating it above the heart and applying cold water or even ice. Of course when the bruise, or contu- sion rather, is of such moment house remedies should be indulged in only Da while waiting for a doctor, a truth that to necessarily applies to all the various emergencies that arise. In cases of se- vere burns physicians are often ham- pered by the home remedies that cover the burns and hide the real extent of the injury. The Markets. BARLEY. -48 at 53 eta. BEEF. -$6.00@$6 50.

The medical profession recognizes to- day as it hu Bever done before the re- markable alit of massage. It has done marvelous tlings for paralysis, even for apoplexy, at which doctors once looked on helplessly. Apoplexy is caus- ed by a clot of blood on the brain, and if that clot can be broken up, if an emptying can be effected of clogged veins, recovery is in sight. Constant massage of the forehead and skull will do it (this has been proved over and Over again), while paralyzed limbs, by patient, constant kneading, can have new life rubbed into them. - Good Housekeeping. How to Cook Capon. The capon may be prepared in any number of ways -roasted, braised or fricasseed -but it is generally boiled. A fat capon should be selected and stuff- ed with a mixture of bread crumbs, lehopped truffles and chopped mush- i rooms. Put a -slice of bacon skewered On the breast; then put•it in a saucepan, ;with some unskimmed broth, spices and herbs. Boil slowly for one hour.; When remove the capon from the broth reduce the liquor and make a sauce which may be varied according to ' taste.

Dullet I was on a visit to my friend Dave at his mountain home and was stand- ing one day in the courtyard at Lexby, the county town, discussing the possi- bilities of his re-election to the posi- tion of commonwealth's attorney When down the street came at a long gallop an old fellow mounted on a thin, ewe necked sorrel colt whose long rusty tail'wbipped between his legs at every jump. Up to the courtyard gate he clattered and, dismounting, flung the of the large printed notice posted on it that no horses were to be hitched there. Through the turnstile and up the walk he came swinging. ";t believe that's old Dullet from Jacksborough," said Dave. "He's a man of influence up there and dead against me—always is. I wonder what he wants?" He had not long to wait, for the old fellow strode up to a group and said, "Whar's the commonwealth's attor- ney?" "I ala the man," said Dave. "What can I do for you, Mr. Dullet?" "I wants you to put my wife in the pen'tentiary," he said. "What!" exclaimed Dave; then re- covered himself. "What do. you want that for?" "She's forged my name, and she's got to go to the pen'tentlary," said he. "Well, tell me about it," said Davg, seeing the gravity of the situation, and, turning, he led the way into his office and offered chairs: "Well, it's this way: My oldest 'gal Sairy is been a-wantin to marry a fel- ler named Torm Hackle for gwine on two years, and I wouldn't let her." "Why?" said Dave in a professional tone, drawing a. pen and paper toward him. "'Cause Torm's , on t'other side," said Dulcet. "Oh!" said Dave, writing down some- thing. "Go on." "Well, I wouldn't let Torm come over on our side. I sent him word ef he did to look out. And Sairy she got kind of sick and peaked, and my old woman she wanted me to do it then, and I wouldn't, 'cause I had to sign the dockiment. Then she got kinder worser, and my wife she wanted me to go for the doctor. So day before yis- tiddy I'went down for the doctor, and he said he'd come today, and 1 staid at Jim Miggins' store all ui,ght and yistiddy a-waitiufor hint, and when I got home Iast night my wife she said, 'Whar's the doctor?' And I said: 'He's a -corrin. How's Sairy?' And she said: 'She's done got well. She's got all the doctor she wanted. She's done married Torm Hackle.' 'How did she done it,' sys I, 'and I ain't signed the license?' says I. 'I signed your name for it,' says she. And I said, 'You has done commit a pen'tentiary offense, and 1 kin put you in the pen'tentiary for it,' says I. And she bet me a dollar she hadn't and I couldn't. And I says, 'I bet you $2 I kin, and I will,' says I. And now I are gwine to do it. I kin do it, can't I?" Dave reflected, while the old moun- taineer sat still, perfectly passive. ."Well," he said slowly, "there are not a great many precedents." The old fel- low's face hardened- "But, of course," he added, "forgery is . a very serious thing, and, all!" Tbe old fellow's eye was upon him. "How long have you been married?" he asked. "Twenty year come next month." Dave wrote it down. "Wife always been good wife to you?" "Ain't got no fault to find wid her till now, when she forged my name "Ever have any trouble with her?" "Never at all, 'cept, of course, fights like all married folks has." Dave wrote it down. "Industrious?" "Got no fault to find wid her about dat." "Help you save what you got?" "Ain't a hard • workiuer, saviner 'ooman on the mountain." "How many children she got?" • "Nine—eight livin. I don't count that one." ' ow " v__mandrtasi 2" i our. Dave wrote laboriously. "Wife good to 'em?" "Jes' as good as could be. Nursed 'em faithful." "Sit up with 'em when they were sick?" "Never went to bed at all; never took her clothes off." "Go hard with her?" "Went mighty hard, specially when Johnny died. He was named after me-" Dave wrote silently. "Go hard with you?" "Right sort of hard." "Sort of lonesome after that?" "Mighty lonesome." . "How old your youngest one now?" "Gwine on 3; that's Billy." "Fond of his mother?" "Can't bear her out of his sight." "Fond of you?" "Sort of—right smart." "Say Sairy was your oldest?" i "Yes." I "Thought right smart of her when: you didn't have any others, just at first, I reckon?" "Umh. Might 'a' done; don't remem- ber." "Wife did, anyhow?" "Yes; always fool 'bout her. Oldest- -see?" "She was young and fresh then?" "Yes; likeliest woman oh the moun- tain." 1 "Bet she was! Used to have good time sitting up to her, going to see her summer evenings, walking through the woods?" "Yes, sir; did that." "She thought more of first baby than you. She had more trouble with her I than you—when she was a baby, 1 mean?" "Oh, yes; guess she did." "Carried her round in her arms, nursed her when she was sick and made her little frocks for her?" "Yes." "As she did Johnny's?" "Yes." "And does little Billy's?" Yes. She's made Billy a lfttle pair of breeches." "With pockets in them?" "Yes; two." Dave laid down his pen, opened the code and read a little to himself. "Well, I can put her in the penitentiary for you," he said. "'Not less than one nor more than ten years," he read. Dullet sat forward a little. "How old is your wife?" "'Bout 50 year." "I'll draw the indictment- Let me see, the grand jury will meet when? Then the jury?" Ile was talking to himself, with his eyes turned up to the ceiling. "There might be some of those Hackles on the jury. Umh, that u,u .... .-. unci t wats[5U around in his chair. "They'd send her on for the full time, though—ten years. That would be good." Dullet leaned forward. "Are them Hackle$ obleeged to be on that jury?" he asked, "No," said Dave; "not at all. Only they may be on there, that's all." He lifted his eyes again to the ceiling. "That might be all the better. They'd of course be pretty rough on her. Ten years. She'd be about 60 when she came out. Umh! They'd have work- ed her pretty hard. Let me see. I suppose they'd put her with the thieves, dress her in stripes and maybe whip her." Dullet started to give an exclamation, but stopped to listen. "L suppose little Billy would be sorry at night at first, but he'd get used to it, or he might go down to see her once a year or so for a few minutes in his breeches if she lived. He'd miss her some. If she died, she'd go to Johnny. Well, the Hackles wouldn't be sorry. Yes, I can do it, I think," he said, bringing his eyes down on Dullet's face and speaking positively. Dullet rose • with a jump. "Look a -here, Mr.—Mr.—What's your name?" he said. "I'll just be durned ef any of them Hackles kin put my wife in the penitentiary, and ef anybody thinks they kin let 'em try IV" Dave looked at him calmly. "I agree with you," he said, "and I'll help you." There was a pause, in which Dullet was reflecting. Then he asked, "What would you advise me to do?" - "I don't advise you to do anything," said Dave, "but I knew what I'd do if I was in your place." "What?" "I'd go home and send for Sairy to come over to dinner next Sunday and tell her to bring that fellow with her— he's more Dullet now than he is Hac- kle, and every time my wife got uppish I'dr tell her I could have put her in the penitentiary for ten years, but I was too good to her to do it." Dullet reflected and then said: "I'll do it. What does I owe to you?" "A good deal," said Dave, "but I want you to present it to Mrs. Dullet for me." "Well"— He walked to the door, -paused and then said slowly, "Th' nes' time you runs for anything, Jacksbor- ough is a-gwine to vote for you." He went out.

Among the Basques funeral festivi- ties were kept up not only after the funeral, but also for eight days more, and on New Year's day, when they were repeated. In their case this was a purely religious ceremonial observ- ance, even if it originated in pagan days. For religion has entered Imo and still pervades the funeral rites :,f the Basques to a degree now hardly conceivable. The deceased who was the head of the family, probably belonging to the third religious order, was usual- ly buried in the appropriate dress of the order. The funeral was presided over by the serore, who was a sort of nun. This probably, as O'Shea says, came down from the time when wom- en held high ecclesiastical positions among the Basques. The very feasts were relics of days when an offering of meat, bread and Wine was wont to be taken into the church or churchyard not only at the funeral, but every day for two years afterward, for the supposed benefit of the deceased, but really for that of the clergy. Up to 1766 in Guipuzcoa on the oc- casion of a funeral an ox was taken to the oh,u:oh door and then killed and subsequently eaten, a survival, of course, of pagan sacrifices in primitive times. In whatever way the habit of taking the deceased to the church on an open bierarose, there can be no ques- tion that the fire lighted at the nearest crossroads and the obligatory pater a !'intention du defunt are of deeply re- ligious origin and both in deed and in truth appeal to each neighbor to pray for the soul of a departed brother.— The 'hood rother.— The',00d Man's Joke.

INJURY BY X RAYS. Reported Cases of Harm Donwjby the Application of the New Light. The question as to whether the ap- plication of the X rays to the human body causes any pain to the patient undergoing the treatment has aroused widespread discussion; but. according to a recent case that happened in Eng- land reported by The Scientific Amer- ican, it is evident severe suffering is occasionally inflicted by their applica- tion. A lady 418 years of age. while cycling, met with an accident which was s11DDOSed to hnvv fractured her thigh. Shortly afterward an erup- tion broke out in her stomach, and to diagnose the case the Roentgen ray apparatus was brought into use. The lady eventually. succumbed to the malady, and at the inquest which fol- lowed a letter was read in which she stated that she had suffered untold agonies by the "cruel overexposure of the X rays." The photographer stat- ed thathe made two exposures of 35 and 45 minutes respectively. The sur- geon who was present at the exposures and superintended the operations stat- ed that death was due to the exhaus- tion from shock produced by the frac- ture of the thigh and the application of the X rays. Expert evidence upon the subject was given by Dr. Lewis Jones, the medical officer in charge of the electrical department of St. Bartholo- mew's hospital, London, who said he considered that the exposures had been normal. 'Lie had discovered in the course of his investigations that some people were sensitive to the rays while others experienced an immunity from their effects. This was believed to be due to the condition of the skin at va- rious times. There was always a risk of skin burn where the exposures were prolonged, but he had never beard of death being attributable to the X ray burn. The jury, however, returned a verdict that the woman died from shock and exhaustion following an ac- cident -and the effects of the X rays upon a weakened system. The pho- tographer and surgeon were exonerat- ed from all responsibility. - Johnny Suspects His Pa "Pa," said Johnny, .looking up from his book, "what is the meaning of 'me• tempsychosis?'

Great ►rowing to a Bobtail Pair, "The [dost remarkable draw 1 eves saw mace at poker was in a Chicago club one night," said a Chicago man. "There sere five of us in a little social game, with a limit of $25 and all jack pots. A; friend of mine whom 1 will call Jonett was dealing. I was ,first un- der theuns and passed, •as did also the two !men sitting next. The fiftb man—we will say his name was Brown —opened the pot for $5. Jones didn't have the shadow of a thing in his hands, but he raised Brown $10, in- tending to stand pat and bluff it out Brown had three aces, and he came back at Jones with $10 better. "New, instead of laying down, as a wise man should in a case like that, Jones determined to see it through. He knew. of course, that It would be use- less to try to bluff, so he drew three cards to a king and queen of spades. Brown had drawn two cards to bis aces and had got a small pair. As a bait he led off the betting with $5. Jones hadn't looked at his hand until Brown bet. and when he picked up his cards he almost fell dead. He had drawn an ace, jack and ten of spades, making a royal flush. They raised each other back and forth until one or the other had all his money in, and when the hands were shown the game broke up right there."—Washington Post The Time to Break tie Rule.

So when the: pupil was once to appear before the public In a recitation Mile. Clairon bound the girl's arms to her side by a stiff thread and sent her thus upon the stage. With tbe first strong feeling she had to express the pupil tried to raise her arms. only to be restrained by the thread. A dozen times in the course of her recitation she was prevented from making the gestures she desired until at the very end she could stand it no longer, and In the climax of her emo- tion she broke her bonds and swung her hands to her head. When she came off the stage, she went humbly to where Mile. Clairon was standing In the wings and apolo- gized for having snapped the thread. "But you did quite right!" said the teacher.

ROOM CHAIRS. Present Day Patterns — Golden and Flemish Oak—About Casters. So far as present day styles in chairs are concerned, the tendency is very strongly toward a reproduction of colo- nial patterns. Chairs are now made with not nearly so much wood as a few years ago, when heavy paneled backs and wide wooden frames on the seats were in vogue. The most unfor- FASHIONABLE DINING ROOM CHAIRS. timate, unworthy production of Ameri- can manufacture in chairs has been of the type just described, with elaborate embossed designs on the panels and on every conceivable surface. The use of elaborately turned spindles and legs has also, fortunately, gone by. Some turned work, however, such as is shown in one of our illustrations of a Dutch chair, is in good taste. Five ordinary chairs and one arm- chair comprise the usual dining room set. In some custom made furniture the hostess' chair is made two inches higher and somewhat narrower than others. Nearly all dining room chairs are now made with rush bottoms or are upholstered in leather, and the best class of chairs have the back uphol- stered also. Some of the richest and best effects are produced in chairs of ',very simple lines, having much leather in the seat and backs studded with brass or leather covered nails. Not only do the styles change from year to year, but each year shows some new finish in the lead. This year it is golden oak. Many chairs are being fin- ished in Flemish oak to match the din- ing table and other pieces of furniture. It is a simple matter to have the chairs match the furniture or finish of the din- ing room, as nearly every manufactur- er or dealer can readily finish his chairs as it may be desired. A drawer from the sideboard or a leaf from the dining table furnishes all that is necessary as a pattern for color and finish. Nearly all heavy dining chairs have casters on the two front legs. The -tendency has been to make the seats too small and the backs too high, while ease and comfort ever should be the prime characteristics. The illustration shows present styles of chairs which are sold at nearly all the larger retail stores, says Boston Cooking School 'Magazine in conclusion to the foregoing. Linen, Glass. China. Rte. The tablecloth, according to the latest fashion, should tray,, a wide border made of lace to correspond with the centerpiece. Tbe doilies match, of course, also. It is only as a last re- sort that we use the once universal table runner, but one cannot deny the merits of this useful little strip of lace or embroidery that just embellishes the center of too simple expanses of white damask. Ribbons are still used, but are less a la mode than the heavy guipure insertions and borders, and they are infinitely more suitable for bedroom use. There is something in- harmonious with china and glass and food somehow in these pink and blue sashes employed on table linen. For pillowcases and linen bed cov- ers, however, they are charming. Glass and china are very beautiful now and are considered the most im- portant part of the dinner equipage. Cut glass or simple glass, with the monogram in gold, is perhaps more in vogue than the engraved specimens. The best houses use china, with a sim- ple gold rim and crest or monogram in gold, for dinner service, though a great deal of handsome colored china is also used by those who are fortunate enough to possess it. There are beau- tiful services of cabochon glass, in pale green or mauve. These, for people who admire the "new art" style, are very suitable in conjunction with old oak or stained green wood furniture. Table decorations are all quite low this season, but a very smart novelty oc- curs in two stands at either end of the long table. from which are festooned chains of roses, single blooms, soften- ed by asparagus fern. In the stands, among the blooms, are bulbs of elec- tric light welled with thin foliage. Orchids look well in soft green slender vases. Art nouveau is essentially their environment. Tulle is no logger used. Satin ribbons or moire sometimes ap- pears, but the node is often simplicity itself where [doral decorations are con- cerned. Deviled Turkey Bones. Take the leg, back and wing bones of aturkey, score them a little with a knife, butter thein well, then lay made mus- tard thickly over, sprinkle cayenne or common pepper on and broil.

Novi Persei Has Had a Number Predecessors In History—Natural Only of the Eleventh Illagnitu Some 'Theories of Its Origin. Something more than 2,000 years ag according to the New York Post, star appeared in t. e sky which 1. never been seen before. To the migb _ brain of Hipparchus this event su gested the necessity for a catalogue all the fixed stars, and he set himse to work at that prodigious task. made 'a catalogue of 1,080 stars, e tircly, of course, from paked eye Common Childhood Affections Often p- Lend to Later Serious Diseases, The great lesson that doctors have learned in recent years, according to of Dr. James J. Walsh, the medical ex- ly pert of the New York Journal, is that de. the fon-elation of many serious dis- eases of adult life is laid is childhood. o The early years are eminently suscepti- a ble to disease. The growing child Is ad expending all its energies for develop- ment and has very little surplus vital- `3.ity to enable it to resist the invasion g- of disease. -..Asa consequence, certain of contagious diseases are so common If among children that they have cline to Re be spoken of as "the ordinary diseases n- of childhood." ob- The term is a bad ane. for it seems to presuppose that its is almost im possible to keep children from havin these diseases. This idea Is eminentl false. 'The only reason for thinkin that these diseases are unavoidable i that so far proper precautions hav not been taken to prevent their spread Now that we realize, first, the !m portance of these diseases, and, sec ond, the possibility of limiting thei ravages, every one should co-operat with the efforts of the boards of health school physicians and sauitarlaus gen erally in the enforcement of regula tions that prevent them from becom ing epidemic. - Familiar examples of contagious dis eases, that are by no means so harm less as they are apparently considers to be, are measles and whooping cough There is a distinct mortality from thes diseases. In every epidemic some o those attacked die. Even more. serious than this, how ever, is the fact that both these dis- eases predispose to consumption later in life. One distinguished French phy- sician of large experience says that an attack of measles predisposes more surely to consumption than family tendency or even exposure to the con- tagion of tuberculosis by living with those suffering from the disease. Scarlet fever is the most frequent source of fatal kidney disease in later life. Of late years the public has be- come more and more familiar with the ravages of Bright's disease. Practical- ly always the beginning of the process dates from early life. Usually the ex- citing cause was scarlet fever, though almost any of the contagious diseases may damage the kidneys. Even so mild an infectious fever as mumps may cause nephritis. Whether such a ne- phritis ever gets entirely well -is doubt- ful. Rheumatism is another extremely im- portant disease in children. It occurs much oftener than is thought. All the so called growing pains are of rheu- matic origin. The thing to be feared in rheuma- tism is involvement of the heart. This occurs much more frequently in chil- dren than in grown people. In over 80 per cent of rheumatism in children un- der 10 years of age the heart becomes affected. This is the great source of heart disease in adult life. It is during the unsettled spring weather that all these contagious dis- eases, with their special liability to at- tack children, are most frequent. Lit- tle can be done for these diseases once they have got hold. Much can be done, however, to prevent their spread. Schools are a great source of contagion. Many occasions of spreading these dis- eases would be avoided if parents were more ready to keep their children home from school as soon as even slight ill- ness developed. This would be the very best way, besides, to assure such diseases running a mild course. The other point In the management of children is the prolongation of their *care as convalescents from any illness until they are fully restored to their old condition of health. This is important after rheumatism and scarlet fever, es- pecially if there has been complicating heart or kidney trouble. During the anlemic condition that so often follows the infectious fevers children should always be kept from school in order to have the benefit of the light and air of the middle of the day. Light is as im- portant for children as for young plants. They must not be allowed to 11 spend mu time in dark rooms. Care is , during chod days will assure a vigorous middle age. The child is fa- ther to the man in nothing more than in the health the adult Is to enjoy. servation, and while engaged on th work made his great discovery of t precession of the equinoxes. There is no record of where this st was Iocated nor is the location of t next temporary star, A. D. 125, to found. In the year 389 a star of tl lira magnitude appeared in the c ?fellation Aquila. It shone with su passing brilliancy, but in three week disappeared and was never seen again In the ninth century a new star a peered in Scorpio outshining Autare ° and remaining for a considerable tim In 945 and again in 1264 a new sta appeared in Cassiopeia, but it was no until 1572 that we have the complet history of a temporary star. This star had a .brilliancy equal t Venus at her best and was seen eve at noonday. It shone brilliantly f several weeks, then began to diminis and in a few months was of the secon magnitude. It continued to diminis until it was of the sixth magnitud and then disappeared, having remaine in sight more than 16 months. In 1604 a new star appeared in Opliu thus which was observed by Keple and others. It exceeded in brigbtnes any of the fixed stars, even outshinin Jupiter, which chanced to be near. I remained in the sky more than a year making its final exit during the winter when lost in the rays of the sun. For another important event of this kind we must pass over two and a half centuries, to 1866, when a telescopic star of the northern crown burst into second magnitude brilliance. It con- tinued but a few weeks and then faded away to its original dimness. Tem- porary Mars not exceeding the fifth magnitude have sines been observed— Cygnus, Auriga and Andromeda. for the new star now in out"sky, shifting, as it does, with great bril- liance, we must therefore go back about .300 years to find a precedent, and not more than two or three strik- ing instances have been seen in the whole recorded history of the sky. For all ages to come the star of 1901 will have a prominent place in all textbooks of astronomy. Like others before, it is likely to return to practical invisi- bility after a short time, and no one should neglect the opportunity of gaz- ing on this most wonderful object. The new star, which was discovered on the evening of Feb. 22. was before that date a star of about the eleventh magnitude and consequently could be seen only with a large telescope. It Is in the constellation Perseus and can easily he found. The constellation is seen in the northwest soon after sun- set well up in the sky. Near by is the constellaties Cassiopeia,'wbich is shap- ed like an irregular W. These con- stellations are on the opposite of the pole (1:: rented by the north star) from the I::;; 1J:pner, os Great Bear. and at about the same distance. A little search will enable any person to discover the three stars that form an irregular row in Perseus with the new star near by. What occasions these new stars is a question easier to ask than to answer. The old theory that they were travel- ing in elliptical orbits, rushing into our fanlike comets. is absolutely untenable, for they spring into brilliancy in a sin- gle day, perhaps in a moment. From what is known of the rate of speed with which the swiftest of the stars travel 100,000 years of recession would not strikingly diminish their luster. The theory of obscuration by meteoric swarms may answer in the case of va- riables. but can hardly apply to the ease of a star which shines but a few weeks in the course of 2,000 years. We are accordingly forced to the re- luctant conclusion that the star, either by collision with another body or by some other disturbance, is made to suddenly flame out with an energy many thousand times its normal. The conclusion is reluctant, because if such be the case all life which might exist on any attendant planet would be in- stantly and inevitably destroyed in the mighty flood of heat poured upon it. A star of the eleventh magnitude, un- der ordinary conditions, is probably situated at a distance so great that light, traveling 18,700 miles a second, requires at least 2.000 years to reach the earth. It. is likely therefore that this distant star endured its shock dis- aster 2,000 years ago. e he ar he I e 10 On= r - s P- s e. r e 0 n or h d h e d r g Wigs For Hire.

Why We Eat Oysters Raw. Dr. William Roberts in his interest- ing lectures on the digestive ferments writes: "Our practice in regard to the oyster is quite exceptional and furnish- es a striking example of the general correctness of the popular judgment on dietetic questions. The oyster is al- most the only animal substance which we eat habitually and by preference in the raw or uncooked state, and it is in- teresting to know that there is a sound physiological reason at the bottom of this preference. "The fawn colored mass which con- stitutes the dainty of the oyster is its liver, and this is little less than a heap of glycogen. Associated with the gly- cogen, but withheld from actual con- tact with it during life, is its appropri- ate digestive ferment, the hepatic dias- tase. The mere crushing of the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without other help by its own diastase. "The oyster in the uncooked state or merely warmed Is, in fact, self digest- ive. But the advantage of this provi- sion is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat immediately destroys the associ- ated ferment, and a cooked oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by the eater's own digestive powers" Lincoln as a Life Saver. William A. Newell, who had the rare distinction of being governor of two states—New Jersey and Washington— told in Success of his romantic experi- ences as a congressman in 1849, when he originated the life saving service by offering a resolution in the house of representatives to appropriate money to save lives imperiled by the sea. Fel- low members of congress at that ses- sion were John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Newell said: "Various objections were made to my motion, the strongest of which was that the scheme was impracticable. I laid the matter before a great many senators and members, speaking to them in person. Ex -President John Quincy Adams occupied a seat just be- hind mine and after the reading of the resolution clerk leaned forward and said to me, `I would like to see that res- olution.' I sent for it and handed it to him. He read it over carefully and, handing it to me, said, with a smile: `It is good. I hope it will prevail.' Abra- ham Lincoln also read it and said: 'Ng/swell, that is a good measure. I will help you. I am something of a life saver myself, for I invented a scow that righted itself on the Mississippi sand bars.' " Calling the Doctor. A good story ,is told of Dr. X., who is the physician in charge of the female wards of one of our best known chari- table institutions. One evening about 9 o'clock Mary, a new Irish servant girl, knocked at the door, saying: "Doctor, the head nurse wants you to come down to supper." The doctor, swelling in his pride of superiority above the nurses, sent the Irish girl away with a curt message. Half an hour later the head nurse came to his room looking very serious. "Doctor," she said, "No. 8 is very bad indeed. I think you ought to see her at once." "Why did you not let me know be- fore?" was the reply. "Why, doctor," said- the nurse, "I sent you word by Mary half an hour ago." "The fool!" said the doctor. "She told me to come down to supper!" "Why," said the nurse, "I sent you word to come down to eight!" An inquiry made the whole thing clear. Mary thought It more polite to say "Come down to supper" than to say "Come down to ate."—Pearson's Weekly.

Neither differences of organization in animals nor in the constitution of the poisonous substance generally afford any clew for interpreting an exception- al want of effect. Unaccountable is the immunity of rabbits against bells donna leaves (Atropa belladonna, dead- ly nightshade). Yon may feed them with belladonna for weeks without ob- serving the least toxic symi.toms. The meat of such animals, however, proves poisonous to any one who eats it, pro- ducing the same symptoms as the plant. Pigeons and various other herbivora are also to some degree safe from the effects of this poison, while in warm blooded carnivore It caltses paralysis and asphyxia.' In frogs the effect is a different one, consisting of spasms. The meat of goats which had fed on hemlock has sometimes occasioned poisonous effects. Chickens are near- ly hardy against nux vomica and the extremely dangerous alkaloid, strych- nine, contained in it, while in the smallest amount it is a fatal poison to rodents. More remarkable yet in this respect is the immunity of Cholcepus hoffman- ni, a kind of sloth living on i to island of Ceylon. which. when given ten grains of strychnine, was not much af- fected. Pigeons are possessed of high immunity from etorphine, the chief al- kaloid of opium, as well as from bella- donna. Eight grains were required to kill a pigeon, not much less than the mortal dose for a man. Cats are ex- tremely sensitive to foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), which on the contrary may be given to rabbits and various bird in pretty large doses. Fined For Death on Hoard. "The only place, as far as law is con- cerned, where it costs money to die from natural causes is aboard a steam- ship," remarked a vessel owner. "The purpose of the law was excellent enough. There was a time when emi- grants were being brought to this country in very large numbers, or `by the shipload,' as it was termed. There is no doubt that there was crowding in the ships that brought them, and to prevent this a law was passed impos- ing upon the ship a fine of $10 for every death that occurred during the passage from natural causes of per- sons over 8 years of age. This put, a stop to overcrowding, or, at least, it is supposed that it did, which is about the same thing. Ships do not fancy having to pay fines of this kind. "Of course, in comparison with the great army of persons who are brought across the ocean from month to month, there are very few deaths, for the stat- isticians have been kind enough to show beyond a doubt that the steam- ship is the safest means of transpor- tation in existence, but, just the same, there are a considerable number in the course of a year."—Washington Star. Do Not Drink 'While Eating. Liquids at meals if taken too often or too carelessly are liable to dilute the gastric juices. Take no liquid of any kind when food is in the mouth. Take as little as possible till the close of the meal The digestive agents themselves being fluids, it Is reasonable to suppose that an excess of liquids taken with the food will have a tendency to dilute and thereby weaken the digestive juices.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Walsh explains in a re- cent number of the New York Journal why thin fo'.ks need more food, than stout ones. The question .:s individual appetite is always interesting. It is often a mat- ter of surprise to tind that thin men have a larger appetite and actually consume more food than stout men of about the same size. There are good physical reasons, however, for this dif- ference of appetite. The thin man must eat more than his stout friend to accomplish the same amount of work and keep up the bodily equilibrium that is the index of good health. The reason for this is found in the relative amount of heat given off by the twe men. It lain the large organs within the body that the important chemical processes on which life de- pends are accomplished. All of these chemical changes lead to the produc- tion of heat and require heat for their accomplishment. In the stout man all the important organs are covered with a good layer of fat. This is a bad conductor of heat. Hence the heat in the large in- ternal organs is protected from dissipa- tion into the surrounding air. In the thin man the internal organs lie just below the skin. Their heat is abstracted readily by the surrounding air, which, in winter time especially, is constantly from 50 to 70 degrees below them in temperature. The human body is practically a ma- chine for the mgnufaeture of heat. Thia is converted into chemical energy in the digestive processes within the body and into motion in tete muscles. Heat may be wasted into the air, however. Of late years the realization of this has led to the wrapping of steam pipes and engine cylinders in a nonconducting substance, such as ce- ment or asbestus. Long ago nature in her wonderful economy made use of this method of saving heat waste by wrapping such important organs as the kidneys in fat and then covering the body with a layer of fat that lies just beneath the skin. Thin men lack this protective layer of nonconducting substance, and so, like the old fashioned steam pipes and engines, they waste heat. To supply this superfluous heat fuel must be consumed. The main part of the fuel for the human machine is composed of carbon, just as it is for a steam en- gine. The heat of the body changes this to carbonic acid, which is given off from the lungs of man. In the en- gine the carbonic acid pases off through the stack. Besides this, there is another impor- tant reason why the thin man gives off more heat than the stout man. The thin man exposes m )re surface to the air. Heat is given 4 ff just in propor- tion to the amount of surface exposed. There is a third reason for greater consumption of heat by the thin man. He is more largely composed of muscle than the stout man. Muscles are very good organs to have when they are needed, but they are great consumers of energy. In a word, the most economical hu- man machine is the one that has no need of safety valves and is well pro- tected from the outer air by a benefi- cent layer of fat, not too thick, because then there is a waste of energy carry - ng it around, and its presence inter- feres with the action of certain organs, but just about the amount that Mother Nature gives to most middle aged men and women when she rounds them out nto prosaic but practical samples of her mature handiwork.

S., lately the president of the Royal Odontological society of Great Britain. Upon examining some skulls dating back from the stone age he noted that several of the teeth, al- though quite free from caries, were thickly coated with tartar. It occurred to him that it would be possible by a rough analysis to identify any particles of food that might be embodied in this natural concrete and so reveal the char- acter of the aliment partaken of by pre- historic man. Dissolving the tartar in weak acid, a residue was left which under the microscope was found to con- sist of corn husk particles, hairs from the outside of the busks, spiral vessels from vegetables, particles of starch, the point of a fish tooth, a conglomera- tion of oval cells, probably of fruit, the barblets of down and portions of wool. In addition to this varied list were some round, red bodies, the origin of which defied detection, and many sandy particles, some relating to quartz and some to flint. These mineral frag ments were very likely attributable to tkte rough stones used in grinding the corn and would account for tbe,erosion of the masticating surfaces, which in many cases was strongly marked. This Inquiry into the food of men who lived not less than 4,000 years ago is a- mat- ter of great archmological interest.— ' Chambers' Journal. How Our Legs Grow. As a fact our lower limbs are not usually both of exactly the same length, though they are so for all practical purposes. The left is usually the longer, though the gait is not nota- bly influenced by this fact. At birth the lower limbs are shorter than the upper, and their movements are rather of the prehensile type. "We are not born leggy like the foal or kangaroo, but we gradually achieve legginess." The bones increase in length, not so much by interstitial deposit as by ad- dition to their ends—that is, by pro- gressive ossification of the layer of cartilage which intervenes between the end of the shaft and the epiphysis. Ossification goes on till the component parts of the bone are all united by bony matter, and thus the stature of the individual is determined.—New York Medical Record. A Sensitive Scot. A sensitive Scot rebukes the London Daily Chronicle for saying that his countrymen pronounce man "mon." "The absurd form `mon,' be writes, "is the hall mark of Scots' vernacular as written by a southern pen, and its in- trusion has often lent additional sad- ness to comic journalism, even, alas, to the pages of our chief humorous periodtcaL In the north of England `mon' certainly occurs; in Scottish speech never. In Scott and Stevenson one may look for it in vain. The broad, soft vocalization of the word in Lothian dialect lies somewhere be- tween `mann' and `mean,' but as it cannot be literally symbolized the word should be spelt in dialect pas- sages simply as in English" Accordingly. "She's well educated, isn't she?" "Well, she's one of those women who can pass as being that way.

A tensile lifeboat, the invention of a Liverpool engineer, described by the Philadelphia Record, has the axis of the boat journaled to a buoyant cradle comprising three buoyant cylinders and end frames or arms, which latter hold the cylinders rigid and equidistant from each other. The central shaft forms the common axis of the cylin- ders aforesaid, so that it will act as an axle for the boat to swing on and enable the buoyant cradle to revolve. In launching the boat the cradle will always float on the two cylinders that adapt themselves quickest to the water. The boat itself, being buoyant, . will also float, one of the buoyant cylinders taking up a position sub-, --•--�,.a i.......j o.,vV.-1134,4:11 .._ side and the other elevated above. In heavy seas, supposing the boat was broadside on the waves and the waves themselves of sufficient strength CRADLE LIFEBOAT. to upset an ordinary boat, the result will be that the buoyant cradle will bear the brunt of the force of the waves and will be upset by the im- pact, and thus the cradle will be upset or turned around and around at each impact, but the boat itself will be al- ways righted, being suspended from the central axis. The boat may be of round bottom construction, to reduce as much as pos- sible its grip on the water. The two cylinders are so constructed as to be of sufficient buoyancy of them- selves to support the boat and the re- maining cylinder. There are on the boat water tight bulkheads or compart- ments of the round turtle deck descrip- tion. The cylinders are tapered at the ends. The boat is driven by end propellers worked by a crank in the interior of the boat, or, if 'preferred, during moderate weather a jury mast can be rigged on the end frames and sail hoisted there- on, or oars can be employed. DOINGS OF ELECTRICIANS. Recent Discdberies, Inventions. Etc.. of interest to Laymen. The use of the telephone in Cairo and Alexandria has grown to such proportions that it has beeen found necessary to connect the two cities by a telephone trunk line. A French military engineer suggests reaching the north pole by meaus of an ice tunnel which would be lighted throughout by electricity. The exports of copper from the United States in 1900 were more than 300,000,000 pounds as against about 190,000,000 pounds in 1899. Germany afforded the largest individual market, taking more than 01,000,000 pounds of our copper In 1900. - Nikola Tesla says: "The storage bat- tery of today is nearly perfect. The substitution of a lighter material than lead will alone improve it, and Thomas A. Edison is the man who will solve the problem." Recent experiments in wireless teleg- raphy in connection with the French fleet have been so satisfactory that it has been decided to provide the whole Mediterranean squadron with wireless apparatus, which will be subjected to decisive tests during the coming cruise of the squadron. The "electrochord, ' an attachment to the piano, invented by Lieutenant G. W. Breed, formerly of the United States navy, which enables the per- former to sustain the tones of the in- strument as in a flute or violin, was recently exhibited. Electric power from the Niagara riv- er is to play a part in agriculture in that region. A power company has contracted with several farmers to run transmission lines to their farms, and it is the intention of the farmers to place electric fans over their peach trees and run them at night. It is claimed a circulation of air will pre- vent frost and that orchard owners in Delaware have made similar experi- ments, with success. Messrs. Hozier and Maskelyne of England have ingeniously adapted the Marconi system to the purposes of an- tomatic signaling to warn ships when approaching dangerous places. A sta- tion Is -set up at the point desired and arranged by clockwork so as to send forth at stated intervals aerial pulsa- tions which can be read by any ves- sel within many miles provided with a recording apparatus. The system is entirely automatic. To Kill the Prairie, Dogs. A bill Is before the Kansas legisla- ture asking for an appropriation of $10,000 with which to purchase poison to exterminate prairie dogs in western Kansas. They are destroying thou- sands of acres in the western part of the state. Prairie dog wardens are to be appointed for each township to scatter the poison in the prairie dog towns. Architectural.

Work An the Caisson. It is the strain within the bowels of the working chamber, unnoticed gen- erally while there; the change on com- ing into the outer air that the sand hog (the workman) dreads. Under an air pressure the blood is forced away from the extremities. It is driven from the exterior into the central organs, espe- cially toward the brain and the spinal cord. The man, exhausted by toil under these conditions, climbs a long ladder. He is in the airlock again, with the up- per door alone closed. The lock tender jerks up the bottom door. With a twist of the valve he hustles the compressed air out. The ordinary atmosphere rush- es in. The upper door is thrown up, and God's sun and air come to the prisoner. The reaction is too severe. The blood, released by the sudden vanishing of 30, 40, 50 pounds of air pressure on each square inch of the body, refuses to act normally. Heart and lungs weak- en, vitality ebbs. A sand hog is never sure that the next trip may not be his last. The practical limit below ground is 50 pounds of air pressure. The men that can work in that atmosphere are masters of their trade. Yet now and then a man is met with who has the strength to go farther. — Cromwell Childe in Leslie's Monthly. Where the Leak Was. Onee, years ago, when Daniel Web- ster was secretary of state, there was an important foreign matter up for dis- cussion before the cabinet, and the ut- most secrecy was of course maintain- ed, but the whole thing was blazoned about in a few hours after the cabinet meeting. So the president hastily sent for his cabinettotalk over this leak. Each man had a different idea of it. Finally Mr. Webster arose, saying, "You, -gentlemen, go on with your dis- cussion, and I'll be back in a minute." In a few minutes he returned and re- peated every word that had been spo- ken in the room in his absence. He explailied that if, by standing close to the door outside the cabinet room, you held your oar to it, you could not dis- tinguish one intelligible word; but if, moving back from the door and a little to one side upon a certain spot in the carpet, you kept an attentive ear, ev- ery word Gould be plainly heard as though whispered. Some enterprising eavesdropper had been experimenting with the door and had found that upon that exact spot there was some acoustic property of the door or room that conveyed the sound in perfect entirety.—Saturday Evening Post. Ants That Fight Spiders. Few more wonderful adaptations are seen In the whole round of nature than the webs spiders spin to entrap the wary ant. They are not high hung, laxly affairs, caressing every breeze, but low set, silken tubes stretched in the grass, the crevices of rock or about tree roots. Ants of every size creep heedlessly into them. The spiders eat them with relish, but occasionally a very little spider and a very big ant engage in a duel to the death. If the spider can bite, the ant can sting, and does it with a right good will. The spider does not try to get rid of such an ant as he does of a wasp or bee too strong to be safely attacked. Such an lisect, which threatens destruction to the web, is often cut out of it by the web buiklens. The entangling cables are not loosed, but the web rays neatly snipped in two, first those underneath and at the very last the highest fila- ment. Oftefi the letting go of such a captive means destruction to half the nest. But some spiders are wiser than some people. They know not merely when they have enough, but when they have too much. What a Patent Cost.. In the eourse of its progress through the office up to the issue and mailing of a patent, says E. V. Smalley in The Century, an application passes through the Lands of 52 persons. An applicant pays $15 to have his claim examined, and in case he is granted a patent an additional fee of $20 is required. At- torneys charge from $25 up, according to the work demanded by the cases, and as the applications number about 40,000 yearly it will be seen that there is a good deal of money to be divided among the patent lawyers, whose signs cover the faces of the buildings in the vicinity of tile patent office. An in- ventor is not required to employ an at- torney, but probably 99 out of 100 do. In simple cases where there is no inter- ference with prior claims an inventor can almost as well deal direct with the government, but in most cases the knowledge of the lawyer is valuable. He can study other inventions in the dime line and knows how 'to make the claim of his client broad enough to cover all thefts new and valuable and not so broad as to be rejected. Museum Monstrosities. A new department of the British museum is devoted to abnormally formed animals, or "sports." Breaking Up the Mess. Lasting friendships are formed in the officers' mess abroad ship in our navy, but no effort is made to keep track of a mate when he is transferred. This strikes the landsman as a queer freak of nature, but the sailors accept it as a matter of course -never to be ques- tioned. Men get into pretty close com- munion with each other when they breakfast, dine and sup together for three years. As a rule, they learn each other's history to the minutest detail, unless a man chooses to be disagree- able and distant. Close attachments grow up, yet when the inexorable or- der arrives from Washington, sending the mess to the four winds of heaven, breaking up, as it were, the family, a warm hand shake ends it all. Each of- ficer goes into a new mess, and the old is forgotten. It was my good fortune to be intro- duced to as fine a mess as ever broke bread together on a man-of-war. The devotion of the officers to one another was an inspiration. Finally the sepa- ration canie. One went to some navy yard, another to the Philippines, an- other to China, another to Washing- ton, etc. They were scattered all over the world. Ono day, meeting the lieu- tenant commander, who had gone up3 for promotion, I inquired when he had heard from Lieutenant So-and-so. "Why, not in several months," he re- plied. "In fact, not since he was or- dered to his new station. You know we fellows don't follow each other's movements after a mess is broken up. We form new associations, new friends, and the old drop out of sight. We never think of writing to each oth- er. It is more than likely we shall nev- er see each other again as long as we live, and .we haven't the time or in- clination to worry over each other's fate."—New York Press. A Legend of the Salty Sea. There are hundreds of queer myths and traditions given to account for the fact that the sea is salt. The Arabs say that when the first pair sinned they were living in a beautiful garden on a tract of land joined to a mainland by a narrow neck or isthmus. When it be- came known to the Holy One that his people had sinned, he went to the gar- den for the purpose of driving them out and across the narrow neck of land into the patch of thorns and brambles on the other side. Anticipating what would be the consequence of their hei- nous crime, they had prepared to leave their beautiful garden and had actually gone so far as to send the children and goats across into the thicket. When the Holy One appeared on the scene, the first pair started to run, but the woman looked back. For this the man cursed her and for such a crime was almost immediately turned into a block of salt. Compare with Genesis xix, 26. The woman, more forgiving than her husband, stooped to pick up the shapeless mass of salt, when imme- diately the narrow neck of land began to crack and 'break. As she Pouched what bad once been her companion she, too, was turned to salt just as the neck of the land sank and the waters rush. ed through. From that day to this, the Arabs say, all the waters of the ocean have rushed through that narrow chan- nel at Ieast once a year, constantly wearing away the salt of what was once our first parents, yet the bulk of the two salty objects is not diminished in the least. How General Butler Freed a Man. General Butler's gift for springing out and taking advantage of every technicality was fully illustrated in the famous case of a respectably connected man in Boston, who, being affected with a mania for stealing, was brought to trial on four indictments. General Butler was the prisoner's counsel. If the prisoner was convicted on all four indictments, he would be liable to imprisonment for 60 years. As the court was assembling General Butler agreed with the counsel for the prose- cution that three indictments should be quashed on condition that the prisoner should plead guilty to the one which charged the theft of the greatest amount. The prisoner, to his amazement, was ordered by his counsel to plead guilty. "Say guilty, sir," said the . general sternly. The man obeyed, and the other three indictments were not press- ed. But when the counsel for the pros- ecution moved for sentence General Butler pointed out a fatal flaw, mani- fest to every one when attention was called to it. In ten minutes the aston- ished prisoner was a free man. It is said that the court laughed at the ruse, the cleverness of which it was impos- sible not to admire. Slandering the Cook. Here is something that a woman who knows says is a sure diagnosis of the status of the cook. If you have a good cook, you may be more or less sure that she will look too fre- quently upon the wine when it is red. It is an unfortunate fact, but if the cook is less than a $40 cook as little annoyance as possible may be expected from this weakness. Possi- bly it will never make itself manifest enough to be known above stairs. But if the cook has risen higher in the so- cial scale of cooks than $40, then look out. A cook who is rated at over $40 may be expected to smash things. If one chances to make a morning call at the house of a friend and dis- covers the servants crowded up stairs, frightened and trembling, while from below come the sounds of ironware skating across the kitchen and pottery crashing against the wall and be- tween times the voice of the masculine head of the family gently expostulat- ing or commanding in would be stern tones, then it may be known that that household has reached the dignity of a $50 or $60 cook.—New York Times. An itlpitapn. In the churchyard of Leigh, near Bolton, will be found a tombstone bearing the following amazing sen- tence: "A virtuous woman is 5s. to her husband." The explanation seems tc be that space • prevented "a crown" being cut in full, and the stonemason argued that a crown equals 5s.—Notes and Queries.

Many travelers returning from China have commented upon the apparently singular lack of knowledge of the dis- tances across their country or between their towns that exists among the Chi- nese. If at one town you inquire the distance to the next, you may be told that It Is 20 11 (one-third of a mile), but upon arriving at the town you will be surprised to find the distance back to the town from which you have just Come is 24 li and that the cost of jour- neying back again is correspondingly greater than the cost to go to it. The Chinese measure distance not by rule, but by the amount of physical en- ergy required to traverse them. Their wage is based on a unit of energy, the amount that it takes them to carry a given load, one picul one 11, on level ground. If the road from A to B is down hill, the distance is regarded as less than the actual linear distance be- cause it 10 supposed to take Testi-energy to travel in that direction, or, as the Chinese say, "the 11 are short." It nat- urally follows that in traveling in the other direction, from B back to A, the road being a gradual ascent, a greater expenditure of energy is necessary. "The 11 are long," and in order to get a fair compensation for their work the carriers must see that the distance and the charges are correspondingly in- creased. With this. explanation what has often appeared as a vagary of the Chinese becomes simple and reasona- ble.—Leslie's Weekly. A legislative committee consisting of Senator Albert Schaller, M. J.

Mrs. Sarah Matthew, widow of the late Adolph Matthew, died at the home of her slaughter, Mrs. A. M. Lizenby, at Tacoma, Feb. 23d, of paralysis, aged sixty-five years. She was invalided from a stroke recei%ed two years ago, and, while feeling un- usually well the night preceding her death, she was found dead in bed when morning came, passing away in her sleep without pain. The Bible which she had been reading lay open beside the bed. Mrs. Matthew was one of the pioneer settlers of Minne- sota, coming to Hastings in 1853, where she remained until the death of her husband in 1896, then going to Portland, Or., where five of her children then resided. She was a consistent Christian, and a former member of the Baptist Church at Hastings. Five daughters and six sons are left to mourn her loss, Mrs. W. D. Sharp and Mrs. M. M.

Tlie family removed to Minneapolis some fifteen years ago. Mrs. Voigt was held in high esteem, and a largez circle of friends regret to learn of her death. The remains arrived here Thursday, and were placed in the vault at Oak- wood, the funeral taking place from the train. Accompanying the body were Mr. Fred Voigt, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Voigt and son, and L. A. Voigt, of Minneapolis, and Fred Bremer, of Prescott. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Speakes died at the home of her son, G. W. Speakes, in Ravenna, Thursday night. She retired apparently well the previous evening, and in the morning when Mr. Speakes went to call her for breakfast he discovered that she had passed away, evidently from heart trouble. Her maiden name was Miss Elizabeth J. Breeden, born in Davis County, Mo., Mar. 27th, 1827.' She had been twice tnarried, her first husband being Corban Speakes, who died in Ravenna Feb. 6th, 1856; her second husband was Alfred Akers, who died in - 1882. .\1r. and Mrs. Speakes came west in the spring of 1854, taking up a brief residence at Prescott, and in the fall of that year removed to Ravenna, where she has since lived with the exception of some three and a half years spent in the hotel business at Austin. Mrs. Speakes was a consistent mem- ber of the Methodist Church, and was greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends. She leaves two sons and one daughter, Charles W., of Min- neapolis, George W., of Ravenna, and Mrs. Thomas Nesbitt, of this city. The time of holding the funeral has not been announced. Margaret Jane Templeton was born Oct. 31st, 1840, in Ireland, and died Mar. 12th, 1901, at South Park, Minn.

On the opposite side of the landi of the fifth floor on which Mme. E enne and ber daughter Lillie lived xi the door of the apartments inhabit by two brothers, cabinet makers trade and bachelors either by cho or by chance, no one knew. One of those days when the inten heat necessitates the door being l open in order to get a current of a the prettiness of Lillie attracted t attention of the two brothers, w were already past their first you and adored children in their quality approaching old bachelorhood. Fro that a sort of intimacy sprung up b tween the widow and her neighbor Little reciprocal services passed b tween them. They sometimes made party of pleasure on the Sunday. well did they get on indeed that o day the eldest of the two brothers sa to the other: "That child would went a fath badly." "That is my opinion also." "Would you have any objection my asking the mother to marry me? "Why should I? In fact, I was thin ing of doing the same myself. B since you have spoken first follow th notion up, but on the condition that yo will let me see Lillie as often as like. I love that child as much as 1 she were my own." - "Forsooth! You will live with us." The question agreed upon, the tw brothers, dressed in their best, wen to call on Mme. Etienne, whom, ho ever, they found confined to bed. Th evening before she had run in ord to take some work back to the sh in time; on returning she had caugh a chill, passed a feverish night an was not able to rise in the mornin She begged her neighbors to go for doctor. It was no time to speak o marriage. Inflammation of the lungs carried away the poor woman in ten days. Thanks to the two brothers, she bad not to go to the hospital, and until the last she was able to see her little Lil- lie, whom she earnestly recommended to them. They swore never to abandon the child. The funeral over they took charge of the little one, kissing her. They said to one another at the same time: "If you wish, we will never get mar- ried now." They went to live at Vincennes so that Lillie might have plenty of good air and take walks in the wood.. They were very proud of their adopted daughter. When people stopped to look at them and asked in a casual way which was her father, they replied, "Both of us." Lillie seemed to like one as well as the other and called them Uncle John and Unele► James. When she grew a little older they put her to school—to a young ladies' school be it understood—taking her there every morning and calling for her in the evening. So Lillie grew up be- tween these two affections without ever feeling the want of father or mother. She cost the brothers a great deal of money, did the little one, but bah, they went no longer to the cafe and worked a little more than formerly. These supplementary hours were de- voted to the pleasure and toilet of ma- demoiselle. When she was 15 years of age, she was the first to suggest that she should stay at home for the future, at which, of course, the brothers were enchant- ed. What a charming little house- keeper they had then and with what joyful tenderness she greeted their re- turn every evening! To say the spill- ed child never abused their goodness would be saying too much, but at least she seized every available opportunity of pleasing them. Two years passed over so quickly for all of them that on the day the two men brought a cake and bouquet to celebrate Lillie's birthday they ex- claimed: "Seventeen years old! Is It possi- ble?" But, yes, it was possible. And James and John thought so much about it that it made them anxious and Un - old, on- ild ng ti- -as ed by ice Se eft ir, be ho th of m e- s. e- a So ne id er to k- ut e u 1 f 0 t w e er op t d g• S f bappy It was the younger who said one evening to the other: "Do you knew that Lillie is getting more beautiful every day?" "Eh! Yes, I know it well. And oth- ers know it too. There must be a good many admirers prowling around here after her." "And it is certain one of them will take her away from us before very long." "Poor little thing!" "Yes, if she were to get a bad bus- oanr" "Oh, 1 snould kill any man who would treat her badly!" "There is only one way of escaping that." "All!" said the elder brother, with- out making any addition to the ex- clamation. "And then," continued the other, "think how sad it would be for us to part from Lillie — never again to see tier trotting about the house, never to hear her merry voice singing after we return from work of an evening." "I have been thinking of all that for a long time, my dear John." "It must be put an end to." "Auer your plan?" "It is very simple if it pleases you. I shall marry her before she gets fond of any one else." "Zounds!" The elder brother stood up, almost threatening. "I also have thought of that plan. I was often going to speak about it, but always held back." "Why?" "Because I wanted to marry Lillie myself." The two brothers looked at one an- other far from amiably. Then the younger said: "This is the same as with the mother formerly. Do you remember, James? I gave her up to you. It is your turn now to give Lillie up to me. You are thaov;reate older than 1." "Which nevertheless does not make you very young." A song was heard ascending from below stairs. Lillie was coming back from her daily shopping. "Listen," said John rapidly. "The child who has made our happiness up to this must not be a cause of disunion between us. Let her choose which one she likes best" "All right," said the other. "That is quite fair." Lillie entered, took the two men by the neck, kissed them and, drawing a chair between them, said: "I wish to speak to you seriously." The, face of the young girl looked quite joyous. "I wish to get married." "John and I were just speaking about it." "But you have not found .me a hus- band." "As a matter of fact we have. You love us very much, say?" "Like father and mother at once." "That is why we wish to propose to you to choose between us." "Why choose?" "Which of us you will marry." The young girl burst into a fit of laughter so joyous, so prolonged, that the two brothers remained quite dum- founded. Then, brushing the tears from her eyelashes: "No nonsense, my uncles. I said 1 wanted to speak to you seriously. You mustn't joke. I have a sweetheart." Neither replied. "Now you must not be angry. I am so fond of him, and he ie coming to- morrow to see you." "Like that! All at once! And us, Lil- lie IT "'fou will. always be my two fa- thers."—Translated From the French For Detroit News. Athens and the Goat. Your genuine Athenian believes the goat to be the proper milk producing animal, and he regards the cow in this connection about as we Americans do the mare. The milkman takes his ani- mals with him, jangling their bells and sneezing.

The obvious and well nigh overpow- ering temptation to which the milkman Is subjected affects him in Greece as in America: .In Greece it is taken for granted that he cannot resist, and he Is therefore obliged to take his animals with him. But even thus be isnot above suspicion, for they tell of a rub- ber water bag carried inside the coat and provided with a tube reaching to the palm of the hand.

Wherefore glad? It must take little to make you glad, sub." "It does." "Halt! Well put. But every one says 'glad to have met you' on leaving a new made acquaintance, and none means it." "Mere figure of speech. To tell you the exact truth would hurt your feel- ings, major. Only hypocrites can be real nice to people.

Mr. Lawrence was given carte blanche, and in 21 mouths the great camera was completed. It was de signed and built in Chicago, and it it finished throughout in natural cherry The bed is composed of four 2 by € inch cherry beams and is about -20 feet long when fully extended. The-bellowi is made with an outside covering of heavy rubber, each fold being stiffened by a piece of whitewood a quartr of an inch thick. It was then lined in- side with heavy black canvas and an additional lining of thick black opaque material. In the construction of this bellows over 40 gallons of cement, twc bolts of wide rubber cloth and 500 feet of quarter inch whitewood were used. The weight of the camera is DOC pounds, and the plate holder when loaded weighs 500 pounds, making the total weight 1,400 pounds. The Zeiss lenses for this camera are the largest photographic lenses ever made, one being a wide angle lens wilt an equivalent focus of 5�.;r feet and the other being a telescopic rectilinear lens of 10 feet equivalent focus, the lattet being the one used iu taking the photo graph of the Alton limited. . NO MORE HELLO GIRL. ]few Invention That Does Away With the Telephone Central Station. A new invention threatens to dc away almost entirely with the tele phone girl and to make every subscrib- er his own "central," according to the New York Journal. Under the new system there will be no more "hellos" with central office op- erators, but subscribers will be equip- ped with miniature switchboards and plugs. The lines will be numbered, and each subscriber may call any one be pleases without connection with "cm tral." When, however. long distance connection is .desired, It will still Lot necessary to call a central office as at present. Every subscriber is supplied with an instrument consisting of a battery, transmitter, receiver, call bell and a movabledial with decimal figures. This dial revolves around a central pivot and may be brought opposite any figure desired. A toothed wheel Is worked by this dial and connects with the battery, breaking the circuit of a number equal to the figure indicated by each movement. The central office commutator is teetu- ated by each emission of current thus produced in the line. An electro mag- net at each emission causes a vertical rod to ascend one notch. This rod has three horizontal pins, which can be brought ht In g contact with he extremities to s of all the wires, t' w 3ch are arranged circularly, one alongside the other in superposed rows at the bottom of the apparatus. To obtain greater resources -in the combination the two line wires are used separately. After the subscriber bas marked the umber of the person he wants be pushes the call bell button and unhooks he telephone receiver. If there is a ummingsound, he knows that the line s already in use. As It is possible to ring the pins of the commutator rod nto contact with all the lines, of which e extremities end at the bottom of he. apparatus, this will suffice for bout 100 subscribers. n t h b th t a Household Refrigeration. According to the New York Post, a new electrical machine has been in- vented by which, it is claimed, ice can be made in houses or apartments at much less cost than it can be furnished by any company. The machine is op- erated by a one horsepower motor; which is declared to be capable of pro- ducing 1,200 pounds of ice in 24 hours at a cost to the consumer of about $1. It is also declared by the electric com- pany which is using the machine that a small refrigerating machine on the same principle can be installed In any refrigerator whi'h will maintain an absolutely even temperature for a whole season and that it will also pro- duce small pieces of ice for an ice pitcher and may be used for freezing cream. The new machine uses an- hydrous ammonia, and its expansion is regulated by a small electric motor which goes about its work automatical- ly and requires no more attention than the usual oiling. Flammarion Against Tesla. M. Camille Flammarion, the French astronomer, does not place the Slightest credence in the idea that the inhabit- ants of Mars are trying to signal to our earth. He declares that the lights observed in the Icarium Mare were, in his opinion, simply the reflection of the rays of the setting sun on the clouds over that sea. • SIDEBOARD INLAID WITH MARQUETRY. of time when it will strongly influence American styles so far as the more costly and elegant lines in all these ar- ticles are concerned. L'art nouveau—In one of its phases. at any rate—goes straight to nature for inspiration, though not always, per• haps, with the almost severe directness. of the instance here given—a sideboart Inlaid with marquetl'b of natural woods. The artist has conceived the very novel and somewhat curious no- tion of carving on the panel a flock o1 geese. These birds are finely cut and grouped In natural attitudes and shown in bright, gay colors against a ground Of yellowy brown with a slight rose tint. The purpose of this piece of fur- niture is not lost to sight, and its form, though light, is pleasing as well as em inently useful. There is a big drawer over the panel and three etageres, with glass fronts, to hold knickknacks or plate. Pretty carved designs ornament the sides, while all the back is Inlaid in many colors and gives a very happy effect to this quasi rustic but refined article. Homemade Cures For Colds. For bronchial trouble put 10 tea- spoons spirits of camphor to 40 times their bulk in boiling water. Place in'a pitcher and incline the open mouth over the top, so that the steam enters the throat freely. Care must be tak- en in the perspiration which ensues not to contract further cold; but this is a royal remedy for heavy chest colds. For threatened pneumonia put the patient to bed with bot water bottles applied to the soles of the feet, palms of the hands, armpits and under the knees. Of course no one with so serious an illness as this should go long without medical advice. For threatened influenza put 20 drops spirits of camphor with 20 teaspoonfuls water. Take one teaspoonful every half hour. This is excellent in incipient grip. For threatened colds in head wring a cloth from ice cold water, lay over the bridge of nose and eyes and dry cloths over it, For hoarseness take frequent sips of. glycerin and lemon juice in equal parts and shaken until they are incorporated. For neuralgia place a wet cloth over a hot water bottle, a soapstone heated or a hot brick and apply the steam to the afflicted part.—Good Housekeeping.

There are no. griddlecakes quite so good to many people as those made with sour milk in the eld fashioned way before prepared flours were thought of, says a Good Housekeeping writer. Take one cup of thick sour milk with the cream left in, a level tea- spoonful of soda and a generous pinch of salt. Stir together until thoroughly dissolved, then thicken with flour. Fry on a hot griddle with plenty of good sweet lard, and they will be light, ten- der and delicious. The batter should be so thick that it will not froth and boll when dropped on the griddle, but not too thick to spread out of itself bite thin cakes. When mixed, try a little; 1f too thick, thin with sweet milk, Lopped it OR. Towne—Has be sent you a check for your services?

Took It Seriously, The late Professor Hinsdale was sin- gularly devoid of all sense of humor, and as for slang—well, he knew far more about the deadest of dead lan- guages than be did concerning these saucy innovations on his native tongue. There was a certain piece of legisla- tion which was of considerable inter- est to the local school officials. It had been introduced into the legislature and was there hanging fire. One Clay Professor Hinsdale, then school superintendent, said to Mr. Tom Whitehead, secretary of the board of education: "Mr. Secretary, what is the outlook for that special school bill now in the hagds of the state legislators? Do you believe it will be adopted soon?" The secretary shook his head in a manner that was meant to be thorough- ly discouraging and said, with a strong emphasis: "•It will be a cold day when that bill is passed." The superintendent nodded and pass- ed on. A day or two later somebody came into his office and asked him about the prospects of the same bill. "Well," he replied in his heavy way, "I have no personal means of knowing the status of the measure, but I have been assured emphatically by Secreta- ry Whitehead, who may be considered an expert in securing knowledge of this character, that the bill will not pass until next winter." — Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Public Gallows a Century Ago.

A run from London to East Grinstead, a distance of five or six and twenty miles, would have tak- en the wheelman past three gibbets, and it was just as likely as not that from one or the other of them a body would be swinging in the wind. Up till the beginning of the nine- teenth century the gallows was almost as frequent a landmark as finger posts or public houses have became now. The traveler approaching York is di- rected by the guidebooks to "turn round by the gallows and three wind- mills," and the road out of Durham is "between the gallows and Crokebill." Going out of Wells you "cross the brook and pass by the gallows." Any number of such direetions can be gleaned from the old books for the guidance of travelers a hundred years ago, and as these interesting objects' were put up and the dead bodies of malefactors left upon them for the special edification of footpads and bigfiwaymen there was a suggestive- ness about them that must have given a special piquancy to cycle touring if it had been In vogue at that time.—Lon- don News. Question' of Ethics, "Be truthful," said the teacher. "Always?" asked the boy. "Always," answered the teacher. "Never tell a Ile?" "Never." "Not even a white lie?" - "Not even a white Ile." "Huh!" ejaculated the lad scornful- ly. "It's a mighty good thing for you you ain't a boy with my dad for a fa- ther." "Why?" asked the teacher. "Because," replied the boy, "if you was my dad's little boy an you'd heard what he said about Aunt Eliza comin to visit us with her children an Aunt Eliza had asked you if you weren't all glad to see her an you'd told the truth, like i did, you'd think there was a !dace where your trousers was mighty thin after dad got through with you." He went back to his desk, and as he sat down with great care there was an expression on his face that showed the great lesson of truth bad been, at least in a measure, lost on him. And in his indignation and innocence he did not appreciate the humor associated with the fact that his teacher did not belong to that division of the human race that wears trousers.—Chicago Post. Curios■ Picture Frames. In many churches of Provence and Italy, especially those near the sea, ex voto paintings placed on the walls in accordance Rath vows made by pil- grims in moments of danger are often remarkable for their frames. Among the curiosities may be enumerated laths formed of splinters from ships that have been wrecked; also frames made of pieces of heavy cables, occa- sionally painted bright hues, but some- times left in their primitive gray color and splashed with tar. Nailed to the laths surrounding a painting repre- senting sailors fighting with fierce sav- ages may be seen African or Polyne- sian spears and darts or swords made of hard wood, evidently mementos of terrific struggles. Sailors or landsmen who have made vows during times of peril at sea and who have no trophies to display will surround their paintings with broad bands of wood heavily in- crusted with shells and seaweed, not infrequently of rare and extremely beautiful kinds. — London People's Friend.

It would tae a chapter to tell of all the trouble Stark had with that wooden aborigine. This variety of sign was rare in that region, and gentlemen not unconnected with the stock growing industry who came in from the ranges wearing spurs and weapons would resent his threat- ening attitude=for that matter, no In- dian, even the most peaceably dispos- ed, was popular. He was knocked off his pedestal half a dozen times a day`. Stark learned to know what had hap- pened whenever he heard a dull crash in front and would step outside and re- store his fallen warrior. But the red man did not meet his Waterloo till Tobe Hartley and a friend, preserved to us under the name of Long Isaac, came in from the Light- ning's Nest neighborhood. A close friendship existed between these two worthies. It was their first vacation from the ranch for several months. They wandered about town in a re- ceptive mood and sought to enjoy their visit. No facts are extant concerning their condition after some hours, but we may perhaps be allowed our suspi- cions. Finally they separated, and Tobe, coming along to the Indian and not noticing his upraised hatchet, sat down at his feet to rest. He soon fell asleep and sank lower. At this junc- ture Isaac came around the corner and took in the tragic situation at a glance. "Killed my partner for a simple bunch of cigars, did you?" he cried. "Well, we'll see about it!" and he pro- duced his firearms and began shooting accurately and rapidly. At the end of ten minutes Stark gathered up his no- ble savage in a basket, while the resus- citated Tobe and the avenging Isaac moved off arm in arm.—Harper's Mag- azine. res- .A Few Good Things—Sandwiches, Small Cakes and Sweets. Young housekeepers are often con- fronted at the Easter season with the necessity of returning some of their many social obligations, and the thought that usually comes first to their minds is that of giving a tea or reception. While it is certainly easier to give the entire charge of the spread for such an occasion to a caterer, it is by no means always the most satisfactory way. Often the hostess who has but a lim- ited purse by.giving the matter a little study manages to have dainties and better things than where an expensive spread is served by a caterer. For the benefit of such are the following hints, which originate with Boston Cooking School Magazine; It is far better to have a simple menu than to attempt elaborate things. Sandwiches are necessary, and for these white, entire wheat and brown bread may be used. The bread should be a day old and very thinly sliced. If butter is to be used, it should be cream- ed before being spread upon the bread. The Windsor filling is delicious for a hearty sandwice. For this mix equal quantities of chopped ham and chick- en, with mayonnaise to moisten it. Spread on the bread, and place a crisp lettuce in each sandwich. A mixture of equal parts of finely chopped hickory nuts and grated cheese seasoned with salt and ca3-enue is very good when spread between thin slices of buttered bread. The meat of hard shell crabs mixed with mayonnaise makes an excellent filling. The marguerites are pretty to serve on such an occasion. For these little cakes beat two eggs slightly, add one cup of brown smear, hale, a cup of flour, one-third of a teaspoonful of salt and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of baking powder; mix well and add a cup of pecan meats cut fine. Bake in small fancy tins, decorating each cake with half a nut. Small walnut cakes may also be used. To make these beat two eggs ttntil light, add one cup of sugar, one cup of heavy cream and three cups and a half of flour. sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon of salt. Stir into the mix- ture one cup of walnut meats. Chill the dough, then roll one-fourth an inch thick, cut with small round cutter and bake in a moderate oven. Puff paste rolled thin. cut in small fancy shapes, delicately baked, and then split and filled with lemon, orange or cream filling, is a delicious sweet. Burnt almonds may be used as a change from the salted nuts. Boil two cups of brown sugar and half a cup of water for three minutes. Add two cups of nuts and stir over the fire until the nuts are brown and well coated with caramel. Turn on to an oiled sieve to drain and cool. Maple fondant, mixed with finely chopped walnuts and tigs and then rolled on a sugared board, can be cut in inch cubes and served instead of bonbons. Frappes are always acceptable, and the following combination is delicious when frozen: Boil four cups of water and two cups of sugar for 20 min- utes; cool and add one pint of unfer- mented grape juice, two-thirds cup of orange juice and one-fourth cup of lem- on juice. To each cup of tea the addition of a preserved strawberry, with a little of its sirup, will be found most agree- able. dreary y time. and men will do anything for the sake of a little 'amusement. The story I am going to tell you actual- ly did occur, and at that time we all welcomed the jo'_e as a godsend and made a hero' of its perpetrator. • "The winter of 1893 -rested an appall- ingly heavy hand on the Coeur d'Alene. Buried many feet deep under a mass of fleecy snow,*the country lay prostrate. So intense was the cold and so heavy the weight of the snowrthat it was pos- sible . to work none but the richest claims. Ingress to and egress from that bountifully rich territory was a feat that none but the hardiest man dared essay, for it was an even chance that death from exposure might be the lot of the one who attempted it. "Wallace at this time was a thriving, busy. -prosperous town where. the arti- ficial excitement of a mining boon ev- erywhere betrayed itself. The shing down of many of the mines had left a large number of men living in W ace with nothing to do. Time hung heav- ily on their hands, and nothing was of too small importance to attract interest provided it held out the hope of killing a few hours of the dreary time of wait - in, • "Just at this period the most promi- nent young lawyer of the town fell ill. There wasn't anything particular the - matter with him except a heavy cold and impending fever; but, being some- what of a hypochondriac,- he at once believed himself to be in a dangerous condition. He promptly took himself to his 'bed in the rear of his office, de- nied himself to all but two or three of his intimate friends, installed a nurse to look after his wants and promptly gave himself over to that luxury of be- lieving himself to be really 111 which is so dear to the hypochondriac's heart. "The three men who were his friends and who' were admitted to his apart- ment took advantage of the conditions surrounding him to perpetrate a prac- tical joke that has since become fa- mous in the northwest. They gave out the news that tbe lawyer, one Jack Greene, had died, and as his mourning friends they received the camp, which •_allete in a body to exp1ss its regret. "In the meantime Greene. in the next room, heard nothing, the visitors being naturally quiet in the presence of death. One of his friends welt to the local undertaker and, informing him that Jack was dead, purchased a cot - ' fin. Alleging the hard winter and con- sequent hard times, he beat the under- taker down one-half in his price. The undertaker, however, got even by sup- plying a plain pine box painted a deep black. This was placed in Jack's office, and in the dead of night lumber care- fully weighted to the weight of Greene's body was packed inside it by the three conspirators. The lid was then screwed down. and the following day John Greene. followed by the en- tire population ut' the town of Wallace. Ida., was laid atVay in the cold, cold ground. "About ten days later Jack, having entirely recovered his pristine health, appy ;ea upon the street. To say that his advent created a sensation is to put it mildly. '1'bree or four superstitious miners, thinking it was bis 'ba'nt,' straightway took to their cabins on the hillside and to prayer and fasting. The only woman in the camp had a fit of hysterics and fainted dead away. Greene, however, stopped the general panic that his appearance was precip- itating by stepping into the Crystal Palace saloon and there absorbing his four fingers of 'red eye' in a perfectly natural and earthiike manner. "It was bard to tell whether the town of Wallace or Jack Greene was the more astonished by the explanations that there ensued. At length, when those present bad become convinced beyond cavil or doubt that it was Greene in the flesh and not Greene in the spirit—although by' this time it must be confessed that spirit in great plenty was in Greene—they sent for the three conspirators. "'What did you do it for?' was the question addressed in blunt and simple terms to the ringleader. " 'Well, I'll tell you. You see we wanted to run Jack for a town office and we thought in this, way we could get a line on how he stood with the community. But'—and here he slapped a wad of newspaper clippings down on the bar in front of the astonished and aggrieved Greene, 'Jack, you won't do. Just read those obituaries and see what the people thick of you. Why, after such a send off as that we wouldn't dare to run you for the office of picking fleas off a yellow dog that was locked up on the town farm.' " For a Trifling Gift. What are called trifling birthday gifts for one's family circle of nieces and cousins belonging to the young set are stocks, ties and belt streamers. The last two, being trimmed with fer- rets of silver or gold, both for day and evening wear, have become the craze. Far from losing by their popularity these pretty adjuncts are in their place extremely modish. In jet and in passe- menterie manufacture they are being ordered a great deal for half mourning decoration.—Vogue. There are no big words in the sea. lion on the mount. view of the fact that he was a man of business his presence was also needed down town at his office. Now, the same body cannot be in two places at once, and this well known consideration would have settled the question for an average man. Ile would have either spent his forenoon in the kitchen or gone to his office and lunched out. This, however, was a man to whom physical laws do not courtesy even as custom to great kings. The case stood thus: He was to have a boiled dinner and would have it done to a turn, piping hot and ready to serve at his home coming. The meat, turnips and beets, therefore, which require a longer time, he put on before leaving the house. The potatoes and cabbage, needing less time for cooking, were put on the cov- er of the pot. Then he dropped a string through a hole in the edge of the cover, ran it through a loop suspended from the ceiling and thence down to the sink. Ir the sink bole he firmly stuck a can- dle, to which, two inches below the top, he tied the string.

Greenland is governed in a grand- motherly way by Denmark; but, as it consists of a group of colonies which would not under any circumstances at- tract many tourists or traders, no out- sider complains of the exclusiveness of the Danish authorities. Trade always bas been and still is Monopolized by the state, and only government vessels are allowed to sail in Greenland wa- ters. For foreign travelers also Green- land is a closed country unless the trav- eler in questiou has beforehand ob- tained the rare distinction of gaining the permission of the Danish govern- ment. The monopoly of the trade is said to protect the Greenlander from being de- ceived by unscrupulous merchants. The administration settles a fixed price both for the goods the Greenlanders pur- chase and for the products they sell. In this way all are treated in the same manner, and the business being car- ried on by the state is a guarantee that the natives are not imposed upon. Furthermore, the members of the ad- ministration are enjoined to take care that the natives do not leave them- selves short of produce by selling more than they can dispense with, so that they are destitute of needful food and clothing when tbe slack time arrives. The native Greenlander never has been, neitber is he now, able to purchase a single drop of spirits from the admin- istration. The exchange of goods between Greenland and Denmark is, as a rule, carried on exclusively by means of the nine vessels belonging to the Green- land company — viz, five brigs, three barks and a small steamer having a total register of about 2,000 tons net. Several of these vessels, which are suitable for sailing through the drift ice, make two voyages a year and the steamer, as a rule, three voyages.— Montreal Herald. Womanly "Tenderness.' "Don't talk to me of the tenderness of woman's heart," said the man who hates women, though he bas never been married. "She hasn't any. I was traveling receutly on a through train to New York from the west, and in the morning, just after most of us had dressed and were sitting in the end of the car, the conductor came and called two men away. One of them belonged to an intelligent and well dressed woman sitting opposite me, and when he came back she asked him what the conductor wanted. "'Why,' said the man seriously, 'the man in lower 8 has been found dead.' "The woman's eyes widened, and I thought she was going to say some- thing sweet and sympathetic, but she didn't. What she said was: "'Why, how thoughtless of him, in a car with all these women too!' "Don't talk to me about women."— Washington Post. Cooked Under Water.

Fremont informed his wife of the joy- ful news of his election as senator of California in 1850. The balloting of the delegates took place in San Jose, and Mrs. Fremont was at Monterey, and as a season of heavy ra'.ns was on there was but little prospect that her keen desire to know the result would find immediate gratification. Before a blaz- ing fire that night sat Fremont's wife, her fingers for the first time fashionng a dress for herself on the trustworthy outlines of one that had been ripped up for the purpose. Her little daughter had been put to bed, and her compan- ions for the evening were the Austra- lian woman who had replaced her two Indian servitors and her baby playing on the bearskin rug near the fire. Besides the voice of`the woman and an occasional chirrup from the baby she heard nothing but the storm with- out tail the door opened and a man, dripping with rain, stood on the tl*esh- old and asked in consideration of his sorry plight if he might enter.

A Flower Sleeve Fad. A very pretty flower sleeve for an evening dress worn by a smart young woman in New York is described by The New Idea Magazine. It was made entirely of violets and was worn with a violet crape and velvet bodice. There were three bands of violets sewed on pale green tulle to keep them in place, and hanging from the back was a nar- row wreath of the same flower, which was fastened to the wrist by a bracelet of the blossoms. This is a fad which can have any sort of changes rung on it.

Oranges Prettily Served—New De- •igns For Ice Cream—A Merry Jack Horner Pie. For a luncheon, where the dishes are not as heavy as at a dinner, the fruit course may be very elaborate. There .may suitably be a grape fruit, with the skin divisions removed and the pulp shredded. To this add a few white grapes, with the seeds removed, a slice of shredded pineapple, sweeten- ed and chilled, the top garnished with ROSE FILLED WITH ICE CREAM. a few candied cherries. This fruit placed on a round piece of lace paper with gilt edges should be served on a small glass ear china plate. Another device is to cut an orange so that it resembles a basket with a handle, to which is tied a bow of white satin ribbon. The basket Is filled with orange, pineapple and grapes shred- ded. Garnish, flavor and serve in the same manner. Any of these fruits should be in place as the guests enter the room. All of them make a most attractive decoration. A pretty mode of serving oranges, that known as a la Cuban, is really the only method by which an orange is properly sliced, and as it is one used in all southern countries a description of it may be acceptable. Rest an un- skinned orange on a plate and thrust a silver fork firmly through the top of the orange where the stem has left its niark. Hold the fork in the left hand and with an exceedingly sharp knife chip the skin, cutting deep enough to remove the white pulp at the same time. Continue until all the skin is re- moved and the round fruit with the juice is exposed.. Remove it to another plate and continue cutting or slicing the fruit across the graiu in the same manner as the skin was removed. When nothing is left but the core, lay the slices flat and press out the juice with a knife, removing the seeds if the orange is not of the seedless variety. Add sugar with shredded cocoanut and chill on ice. Serve in china swan dishes, with berry forks, says Vogue, which is also the source of the follow- ing in regard to pretty conceits for the table: New ways of serving ice cream are constantly being thought of. The new- est designs tend to flowers as a motif. The first figure shows the closed rose of pink linen, the petals being pushed back and disclosing the cream. Anoth- er rose design is an arrangement of petals around a small paper pannikin. The chrysanthemum is always a favor- ite. Another conceit is to have the ice cream molded in the shape of a rose, say a tea rose, made of orange cream. Thrust through it is the artificial stem, with two sprays of green leaves. This whole piece is laid on lace paper over a geld or green plate. A mold sure to win much admiration is that of the bird's nest macaroons, holding eggs of various colored ice creams. For some seasons past the Jack Hor- ner pie has been a favorite as a means of distributing favors at a children's party or luncheon, but as a means of entertaining older folk it Is a novelty, and at a smart dinner lately given it was the chief and most attractive fea- ture. The second illustration gives but a faint idea of its dainty beauty. It was made of fluffy pink crape paper with strings of pink satin ribbon and tied round the middle with ribbon to match. A broader band of ribbon witb a large, beautifully arranged bow would add much to the effect. The in- terior of this pie is filled with favors, and to each is attached a satin string. In some cases the strings are finished with a tiny full blown artificial rose. JACH HORNER PIE. Each guest pulls a string.

"Looking over my neighbor's fence one day," says a lover of animals, "I was surprised to see on his doorstep these queer companions: A beautiful white sea gull and my neighbor's pet cat sitting quietly together. "Becoming interested, I jumped the fence and asked Jones about his feath- ered pet. He told me that some boys had shot the gull a few days before and broken its wing, and as they were passing his house he noticed the poor, suffering thing and bought it. He ban- daged the broken wing, and the gull, seeming to understand his kind inten- tions, became quite tame and nestled its pretty head against his hand. "Jones entertained me by showing how the gull usually took his meals. Bringing a plate of oysters and a fork, he called 'Goosey, goosey, goosey!' and the bird came running to him. Theu he held out an oyster on the fork and the gull seized it quickly with its yel- low bill and ate it as demurely as if oysters had been served to it in this way all of its days. "The oddest thing occurred one day when my neighbor gave the gull some small pieces iii meat for dinner. He placed the meat on the ground near the gull, but the gull, espying a pan of water near by, took the meat piece by piece and, walking over, dropped it into the water. Then, true to its na- ture, it began fishing for its dinner."— Christian Advocate Our Last Cargo of Slaves. Captain Foster was the commander of the slave ship Clotilda that brought the last cargo of slaves to the United States. The trip was made only after many tli•illing scenes requiring weeks of skillful maneuvering and dangerous exploits. Just before the north and south engaged in war Captain Foster built the Clotilda and announced that he would make a trip to the gulf of Guinea despite the fact that United States war vessels had burned and sunk the ships of many who tried the voyage. He was warned repeatedly of the dangers attached to such an under- taking, but he equipped his ship and sailed away. He reached the African coast after going out of his course many times and remained along the coast for a month. He succeeded in getting 100 negroes on board before he was detected by the watchful vessels of the United States. He was pursued, but easily outdis- tanced his pursuers, and two months later arrived in Mobile bay with his human cargo. A steamboat met the slaveship during the night, and the negroes were transferred in order to avoid the custom house officials. Cap- tain Foster set bis vessel on fire and passed through Mobile without being detected. The government authorities hunted for him for months, but he eluded them until the close of the war, when he retired from the sea. Tipping the Butcher. Did you ever buy your own steaks and get the worst in the shop nearly every time? An old friend has had that misfortune, and he is always will- ing to pay two or three cents more a pound than any other customer. Hav- ing listened calmly to his tale of woe, I inquired if be had acquired the practice of tipping the butcher. Tip- ping the butcher? No! He thought it was a sufficient tip to offer the two or three cents more a pound. "That offer," I tried to explain, "goes to the proprietor direct, or his block man thinks yon are trying to make a thief of him by Inducing him to bold out for himself the extra price. It will never work. "Just say to your cutter: 'See here, old chap, I've been dissatisfied with my steaks for some time. Come out and take a drink, and tell me how to select good meat.' He's too busy. Then slip a dime into his band and say, 'Have a glass of beer when you get out,' or a quarter and say, 'Have a smile with me when you have time.' Repeat this performance and presently your steaks are the delight of home. In the busiest private market in New York it is the rule to tip the butchers. You can get nothing fit to eat with- out it."—New York Press. .Poor Opera Glasses. "Cheap opera glasses are an abomi- nation," said an eye specialist recently. "There is no doubt about this. I have made a special study of the matter. Lots of eyes are nearly ruined by them. I find this particularly true of young girls who go a great deal to the theater and who seem to think they must have opera glasses. To their way of think- ing an opera glass is an opera glass, and that's all there is to it. So they buy cheap ones and then wonder why they have such headaches. "Unless the very best lenses are used I should advise everybody to taboo op- era glasses. The farther from the stage one is the better and more perfect the glasses should be. Exactly the reverse of this is actually the case, for the peo- ple who sit in the rear seats or in the balcony are usually the ones who have the poorest glasses. A performance viewed with the naked eye is much more satisfactory, to my way of tbink- ing. Au opera glass gives but a limit- ed view, and only the one object on which it is focused is visible. I don't see why people use even the best of them."—Philadelphia Record. Beardless Soldiers. Modern warriors generally wear hair on their frontispieces. It is thought to give them a martial appearance. But Alexander's invincible soldiers were all bare faced. He compelled them to shave for a sufficient reason—viz, lest the "outside barbarians" of Asia should seise them by their beards and so cap- ture them. FLATFISHES' EYES. A Migration Whicl. Takes Place Aft- er the Creatures' Birth. Flatfishes keep their white and blind 'side on the muddy or sandy bottom and pretend that the upper and spec- kled side is a part of that bottom. This they do to avoid observation, for in spite of their awkward shape they are swallowed at sight by pertinacious ene- mies, tc the manifest discomfort of both. A &reedy cormorant curling up and attempting to swallow a plaice, which tries to be as disobliging as pos- sible, affords an object lesson not soon forgotten on the way not to behave at mealtimes. But the bird usually suc- ceeds in its object, and the flatfish, in spite of persistent efforts to retain its natural flatness, at last disappears down the round, elastic throat of the cormorant. With a view to avoid un- pleasantnesses of this kind, soles are wont to hide themselves in the sand, keeping only their eyes above the sur- face to act as sentinels. In reality the dark surface of a sole, plaice or turbot is its side and not its back. It is true that both eyes are vis- ible, which is not the case when a mackerel or a conger is laid on its side, but this is simply owing to the fact that one eye of a flatfish bas since the creature's birth passed across what we may call the bridge of its nose to keep company with the other eye. The wandering eye begins its migra- tion at a very early age—so early, in- deed, that it is a little difficult to detect it on its journey. A plaice a fifth of an inch in length and 5 days old carries ane eye on each side of its nose. When three-flfths of an inch long and about 2 months old, the left eye has crossed over to the right side. Lemon soles when one inch long or 2 months old have the left eye on the edge of the head, but when double that size and G months old both eyes are found on the right side. A sole assumes its lopsided aspect by the time it has been hatched 2 months. When a turbot is half an inch in length, the right eye just be- gins to peep over the center arch of the bridge, at three-quarters pf an inch it is half way across, and at an inch the passage is complete and the two eyes look out from the left side of the head. —Longman's Magazine. Dartmoor Superstitions. In no part of England is superstition . so rife as in the west of England, and especially so on that tract of barren land known as Dartmoor. One angler who had great luck on the river Dart discovered this last year. He made a big catch, but it was made on Easter Sunday. It consisted of 56 trout, the largest 1% pounds and three of one pound each, besides several of half a pound, a phenomenal catch for the up- per Dart. When he tried to have some cooked at the farmhouse where be was staying, the old moorland cook refused to have anything to do with them, deeming them "devil's fish" or "vishe," as she pronounced it. Another superstition is that if one picks a piece of broom while fishing that one will assuredly be drowned be- fore the day is out. It is general for the moormen when doing a quiet poach when the streams are in flood to spit on their first worm for luck. 't is thought unlucky to look into the water before making a cast. The most curious superstition is that if one is fishing and for some time catches nothing some one is wishing him ill, and the only way to counteract the "ill wishing" is to kneel or "sit on your knees," as they say on Dartmoor, and bite off the top of a young bracken fern. The fish then will be found to bite with most peculiar and st&prising avidity. Confiscation In Morocco. It is a custom in Morocco that all the property of an official reverts at death to the crown. The logic which leads to such a result is simple, for the govern- ment argues that all fortunes thus ac- cumulated consist of moneys illegally retained by the authorities. A gov- ernor when appointed is probably pos- sessed of no considerable fortune. When he dies, he may be a million- aire. Whence came his wealth? Squeez- ed most certainly from the tribes under his authority and therefore amassed only by the prerogatives of the position In which the sultan had placed him. It has never struck the Moorish gov- ernment that these great fortunes might more honorably be returned to the people from whom they were sto- len. The result is entire confiscation to the crown, including often such pri- vate property as his governor may have been possessed of before his ap- pointment and not seldom, too, of the property of his relatives. When the mighty tall in Morocco, the crash brings down with them their families, even uncles and cousins and all connected with them, and it is not seldom that the sons of great gov- ernors, who have been brought up in the luxury of slaves and horses and retinues of mounted men, have to go begging in the streets.—Blackwood. A Blind Sale. An exchange tells of a novel plan adopted by an English hostess to se- cure funds for a charity in which she was interested. She gave a dance, in- troducing in the cotiilon an auction figure. In this the favors were for sale. A table was spread with them, from which selections were made. After the choice the purchaser found the price affixed on the reverse side. This might be a penny or a pound. the limit of cost, and was set without any regard to the apparent value of the article to which it was attached. The most tri- fling article perhaps had the topmost mark, and vice versa. making choice so far as price was concerned pure chance. THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD & SON. SATURDAY MARCH 3uth, 1901. Legislative Notes. The nonsensical cigarette bill was killed in the senate on Tuesday. The proposed pardon of the Young- er oung- er brothers is a boom for Judge Lynch, The bill placing the oil inspector upon a salary has passed both houses, to take effect in two years. The date of adjournment has been fixed at' Apr. 12th, leaving thirteen days for the anticipated extra session next winter. Senator Schaller has introduced bills to repeal the so-called Scheffer laws pertaining to vagrancy and drunkenness. The $200,000 appropriation for new cottages at the Hastings and Anoka hospitals was defeated in the senate on Wednesday. It will probably give a few exhibitors more money to blow in at the Buffalo exposition instead of relieving the crowded hos- pitals. The amended bill establishing a board of control passed the house on Thursday by a vote of eighty-six to twenty-five, and is now up to the governor. It abolishes the board of corrections and charities, the state prison board, the insane hospital board, the reform school board, and the reformatory board, and takes the financial affairs of the state university, the normal school,and the deaf and the blind schools out of the hands of their respective managers. The new board is to consist of three members, with a term of six years and an annual salary of $3,000, the change to be made Aug. 1st. Very much depends upon the persons selected, as they will undoubtedly wield a greater influence in the future politics of the state than the governor himself. Mr. Whitford voted for the bill and Mr. Pennington against. The City Election. There seems to be very little in- terest taken thus far in the municipal election to be held next Tuesday, the principal contest appearing to be over the city clerkship. The affairs of the city are in good condition un- der Mayor Tuttle's adtninistration, and he is likely to be indorsed with a second term. The receipts from the county treasurer last year were $2,105 90 less than the year before, with four less saloon licenses, an ex- traordinary expenditure for painting the high bridge and the purchase of five hundred feet of hose, and still the council was enabled to reduce the tax rate nearly half a mill. Mr. Libbey was nominated without his knowledge or consent, and is mak- ing no effort to secure an election. There will, of course, be some scrap- ping for aldermen, particularly in the fourth ward. Only one of tiye various nominees for school inspector has qualified, :unsequeutjy the voters in the several wards will have to write in names upon the official ballot, which many will probably neglect to do.

One great nuisance in our pres system of society is the tramp. T 1st- herwithin death,said leaving goods, chattels, and estate count tramp depends on alms for suhs ence. He is a social exile who, from inclination or business misfortune, becomes a tramp. Tramping is an American institu- tion. Its basis is the existing finan- cial and educational conditions in America. In European. countries, the general prosperity of the people is not great enough to feed an army of tramps. In the United States, a great crisis in one branch of industry does not seriously disable all others, hence unemployed working men can obtain food by begging through the country. Men become tramps from inclination through a lack of proper education, either at school or in their early home. How are we to Check this growing evil? As yet, no adequate- remedy has been suggested. The reform must begin with the child; with the infant. By imparting a,geoct moral, scientific, and religiouseducation to the children of this andlthe next gen- eration, the worst order of tramps may be abolished. Ror: the sufferers from financial tro:ibles, each case needs a different treatment. When the rich understand, and sympathize with the poor, the trouble will be peacefnlly adjusted, and the Knights of the Road will disappear. PEARL J. DAVIES. Freshman Ctasa, Hastings High School.

The DeLaval Separator Company, in their advertisements, have insinuated that the tests where they are beaten and testimonials relating to the Uuited States Separator are not genuine. We call attention to the following testimonial which the reader will notice is dated at Poughkeepsie. N. Y., which is where the DeLaval Manufactory is located and where they claimed that no United States Separators could be sold. They had as many as eight different men canvassing in their endeavors to get in the DeLaval and prevent the United States getting in. Mr. Hoyt's' statement gives the result of this contest. 3 U. S. Separators to I of all others. PouonaaEPSIE, N. Y.. Oct. 23d, 1900. Fourteen years ago this month we started our creamery on the co-operative plan recommended by your agent, fitting the building with machinery from your company and using the Cooley Creamers for the patrons. We have run on this same plan for all these years until a year ago last month we put in separators. Our patrons are using more than three to one of the U. 5. Separators over all other makes, and we believe the U. S. Separator to be the best on the market. Weare still working the cream gathering plan, and believe it to be the best for the rural districts. where unavoidably some of the patrons are a long distance from the creamery. We are satisfied with it because we believe it to be the best and the cheapest. No farmer can afford to hitch up and carry his own milk, even if he live within half a mile of the creamery, if he can get it done, as we have this year, at the average cost to each patron per day of 8 i-3 cents. H. R. HOYT, President LaGrange Creamery. We challenge the DeLaval Separator Company to prove that this or any other testimonial we advertise is not genuine.

BY ANTHONY P. IIIORRIS,t eiiteeselleailteteeelielitif, g A prominent store in Paris was that of Jean Guileau, baker, a widower with one child, Hortense, just 17 years of age and very beautiful. Jean wisely took no part in the com- munistic orgies running riot on the streets immediately subsequent to the Franco-Prussian war; but, with plenty of provisions In his cellar, he philo- sophically itlosed the doors and win- dows, withdrew his sign of business and smoked his pipe contentedly in the seclusive companionship and filial love of Hortense. One so pretty and piquant as she could not be exempt from a besieging of lovers. The two most prominent of these were her father's graduating apprentices, Henri Edouin and Giu- seppe—"dark Giuseppe" and "the bale- ful eye"—the latter was frequently ap- pellated by his intimates, because of the treacherous glance in his hard, black orbs and a lurking smile forever fixed about his lips, To Henri Hortense had long since given ber heart. It was quite late one night when Henri departed froth the embrace of his promised bride. As Hortense re- treated through the narrow doorway an unexpected form, lice an apparition from the gloom, confronted her. "Giuseppe!" ,the cried. "It is I," he replied calmly. "Oh, you frightened me! Whence come you so suddenly?" "From close beside, girl. Ah, thou coquette! A word. I have heard all"— "A listener—you? Shame!" "Tell me, is it true. indeed, I need hope no more to win you?" "You say you have heard all?" "Yes. I am not deaf." "And you have seen too?" "Yes. I am not blind." "Much good may it do you, then, for you are answered!" And with the sharp speech she slam- med the door in his face, angry at his having spied upon what was to her a sacred interview. For many nights after that her dreams were haunted by the baleful eyes of dark Giuseppe, and in her ears continually rang the fearful impreca- tion she heard him mutter, coupled with the name of Henri Edouin. The favored lover was greatly sur- prised a few days later at receipt of a communication front the Versailles government. It was delivered by an entire stranger, who whispered these six ominous words: "For your eyes only. Be discreet!" The sealedbillet contained this: Last dispatches by balloon acknowledged.

One of the prettiest of the furniture novelties for 1901 is the Roman chair such as is pictured on this page. In shape it is most artistic and, wonderful to relate, comfortable as well, for it is a regrettable fact that many things which are artistic are far from being either comfortable or practical.

The Conductor's Reader Answer. The Metropolitan Street Railway company has in its employ a philoso- pher in the person of a Broadway con- ductor. It was late in the evening, and his car on its up town trip had reached the vicinity of the city hall As it passed one of the taller office buildings a stout woman, clutching him by the arm, exclaimed: "Oh, :onductor, how many storied high is that building?" "'Leven," laconically replied the con- ductor, without so much as an upward glance. The woman sank back with a sigh of satisfaction. Just then a +hall man with a large traveling bag rushed in almost out of breath. "I say, conductor," he gasped, "what time can I get to the Grand Central cep "'Leven," was the quiet reply. "That's good," commented the small man, evidently relieved. At that; juncture another man climb- ed aboard that wanted to know about what time the car would reach the Gilsey Louse. "Leve 1," again replied the con- ductor, with a weary look. When questioned as to the uniformi- ty of his answers, be replied: "Yes. You see, if you hesitate about answering 'em, they git worried, but if you have an answer ready they're satisfied. Now, about this time of night, I always say "Leven.' It's a good, bandy number, easy to say. Oth- er times I use other numbers. I allus have a lot of stock answers on hand. It saves time and trouble."—New York bun. The Queen and Jenny Lind. There i:s a pretty story told of Queen Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows how the modesty of two women, the queen of England and the queen of song, caused a momentary awkward- ness which the gentle tact of the singer overcame. It was on an night when g Jenny Lind was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera House that the queen made her first public appearance after the memorable Chartist day. For the great artist, too, this was a first appearance, for it was the begin- ning of her season at a place where the year before she had won unparalleled fame. It happened that the queen en- tered the royal box at the same mo- ment that the prima donna stepped up- on the stage. Instantly a tumult of ac- clamation burst forth. Jenny Liud modestly retired to the back of the stage, waiting till the dem- onstration of loyalty to the sovereign should subside. The queen, refusing to appropriate to herself that which she imagined to lit intended for the artist, made no acisnowledgment. At length, when the situation became embarrassing, Jenny LInd, with ready tact, ran forward to the footlights and sang "God Save the Queen," which was caught up at the end of the solo by the orchestra, chorus and audience. The queen then came to the front of her box and bowed, and the opera was resumed. Why Roads Are Crooked In China. The Chinese road is private property, a strip taken from somebody's land. This is done much against the will of the owner, since he not only loses the use of it, but also still has to pay taxes on it. One consequence is that it is wide enough for only one vehicle, and carts can pass one another only by trespass- ing on the cultivated land. To prevent this the farmers dig deep ditches by the roadside. As the surface wears away and the dust blows off it gradu- ally grows lower, and after awhile it becomes a drain for the surrounding fields. A current forms in the rainy season, which still further hollows it out, and thus has arisen the proverb that a road a thousand years old be- comes a river. Those whose lands are used for roads naturally prefer to have the roads run along the edge of their farms instead of cutting across them, and this ac- counts for the fact that Chinese roads are often so crooked that one may have to go a considerable distance to reach a place that is in reality but a few miles away. This always Interests the stranger.—Church Eclectic. How the Car Got There. The other day at Twenty-sixth street an inspector "hopped" on the front platform of a Madison avenue electric car bound down town. He said to the motorman: - "Where the dickens is this car goin1" "Whey, to the Brooklyn bridge, of course." "Get off and look at yer signs." The motorman did so and discovered that the sign on the front hood of the car read, "One Hundred and Thirty- fifth street," the sign on the right side of the roof read, "Second avenue," and the sign on the rear hood, "Astor place." The conductor and motorman between them having adjusted the signs, the inspector permitted the car to proceed.— Electrical Review. Shaves of a Lifetime. Beard appears to grow at the same rate and to follow the same rules of personal conduct as the hair of the head. So if a man began shaving when be was 16 and lives to be 70 years old he will have cut more than a little bit off the top. If he could keep in posi- I tion all be bas thrown away, a head of r hair 35 feet long and a beard 27 feet 1 I long, all in one bunch, would enable him to travel with a circas summers and sit in a store window to advertise a hair restorer in the winter,—Afnslee's Magazine.

Rampty Dumpty—The Rabbit o Hale—A Pretty Cradle. No child's Easter basket or nest i complete without a candy egg. Blow a goose egg, gild the shell and Tette across one side. The egg is filled with gilded or bright yellow candies, and a piece of gold paper is pasted over the opening. Amusing little rocking or floating toys may also be made from eggshells. Place the eggs upright on the round end and pour .in melted seal- ing wax, then melted lead, taking care to hit the center of the egg, or the bal- ance will not be obtained. Humpty Dumpty is droll. Paint his face and hair and make him a pointed white paper cap with turn up red brim to paste over his. cracked head. Then paint a short white jacket and baggy trousers on the egg. Collar and pock- ets are red, as are also his slippers. Master Humpty's hands are thrust into his pockets. Pierrot and Pierrette are a quaint lit- tle couple and will prove the most fas- cinating of toys. Both are dressed in white crape paper. Pierrot's Puff is very full, and little lozenges of red paper should be pasted down the front of bis jacket and on his sleeves. His skullcap is red. Pierrette has frilly skirts, a ruff and peaked cap. These little figures would give a very attract- ive t8uch to a white enameled candy box. The rabbit or Easter hare must not be forgotten. The egg is very easily transformed into this little animal by the addition of a pair of paper ears. Bunny may either sit upright on his hind Legs or lie crouched on the ground. An owl is also amusing. After paint- ing the egg like the breast of the bird add a paper beak and a pair of wings. The torpedo boat that floats is sure to please the patriotic small boy.

A union jack and ensign fly from toothpicks. If a needle is put into the bow, the boat can be drawn through the water by a mag- net. A whole fleet of boats can be thus made and maneuvered. For the little girl's dollhouse is an eggshell cradle. If the maker is skill- ful, it can be cut in one piece from the egg. Pasteboard or wooden rocket's are glued on and the cradle fitted with mattress, pillow and silken spread. The outside of the cradle is decorated fancifully with lace and gold paint. It is needless to add that a small doll clad in its "nightie" should repose beneath the covers. These are among sugges- tions in Good Housekeeping for some "cute" egg toys. Old Fashioned and Unequaled. For a general restorative for the hair there is nothing ever compounded that equals old fashioned sage. Ask your grandmother about sage tea, advises The Ladies' World. As this is an age of improvement, the extract of sage is superior to the tea, for the reason that it does not sour; also water cannot properly extract the strong properties of sage. Get four ounce packets of dried sage from any drug store. Put it into a pint of rainwater and a pint of alcohol. - Let it stand for a week. Stir occasionally and strain through swiss or tarlatan. This is sage extract. Re- tain your leaves and put with it two quarts of soft water; boil down to a quart. Mix it with the extract and add ten drops of nutmeg oil and a dram of tincture of cantharides. It is an un- failing remedy for hair that is prema- turely turning gray, besides having a fine tonic effect upon the hair follicles. Remember, soft brushes should be used during the growth of new hair. Persistent parting will thin out and in time make an unsightly bald streak if not frequently changed. It rests the hair to change it. Don't use hairpins of the cheap steel variety. They ought to be relegated to the oblivion of the wire hairbrush. Rubber hairpins, blunt and very smooth, are best. If from perspiration they become harsh, discard them as unfit. A Bad Judge. Some years ago King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, was a guest at a country house in England, and, pick - ng up a sporting paper in the billiard oom one morning, was soon deep in is contents. A clergyman, also a guest, .noticed this, and, sidling up, asked in a tone that was meant to carry reproof, "Is your royal highness really interested in that paper?" The„ prince glanced P nee d g around. I never read anything I do not feel interested n,” he remarked. The clergyman, though, would not be enied. "Do you know, your royal ighness, that one of my friends has oat hundreds of pounds by betting on orse racing and has never wort -an- hing?" he asked. "Well," said the prince as he turned another column, "he must have been very bad judge of horseflesh." canon of the church, exclaimed• ,e"And now that I am a canon I suppose I shall be a bigger bore than ever."

The late Professor Shuttleworth o London was particularly fond of tellin how, when he once acted as locu teneus in Devonshire, he had to pro- claim the banns of marriage of a yoting yokel and a village maid. A fortnight later the young swain calle at the professor's lodgings. "Von put up the banns for me," h said. "Yes, 1 remember," replied ,M Shuttleworth. "Well," inquired the yokel, "has it got to go on?" "What do you mean?" asked the pro fessor. "Are you tired of the girl?" "No," was the unexpected answer, "but I like her sister better." "Oh, if the original girl doesn't mind you can marry her sister." "But should I have to be 'called again ?" "Certainly, that's necessary," an swered Mr. Shuttleworth, "But should I have to pay again?" "Yes, it would cost you three and six- pence." "Oh, would it?" rejoined the yokel after reflection. "Then I'll let it re main as it is." And he did.—London Telegraph. They Eat Themselves. From various causes, such as anger and fear, Many animals eat their own flesh. Pats. when caught in a trap by the leg. will gnaw ori the captured member, and mice in captivity have been known to bite off their tails. But there arc sonic creatures which go much further and actually eat parts of themselves if left for too long a period without food. A hyena belonging to a menagerie was kept by the proprietor without food in order to tame it. One morning he was horrified to find that the fero- cious creature had actually eaten part of its own leg. An eagle in the zoo a few years ago was noted for the fact that it would now and then pick pieces of flesh out of its own legs and eat them. Certain caterpillars and toads devour their cast off skin. This may be due to fear, but it looks like economy. There is just a trace of this charac- teristic in human beings. Children when in rage sometimes bite their own hands and arms, although it must be admitted that they desist when it be- gins to hurt. OTICE OF MORTGAGE FORE - closure sale.

Four legged animals in drama are of course a very common sight today. Al- though they are often of far more im- portance than the mere super, they have an affinity to that class, for theirs is no speaking part, unless one counts the bark of a dog as such. A little time ago the writer met an actor who was taking the part of a vil- lain In a play wherein a big mastiff seizes him at the back of the neck just as he (the villain) was about to murder the heroine. "Nasty part, that of yours. How do you manage to escape nightly being bitten by that big brute of a dog?" "Not a nice part, it is true," he answered, "but the dog Is well trained. He is kept without food for a few hours before the show. A piece of cook- ed liver Is tied to my neck. He is held in tho wings till the cue comes, then he rushes on to me for his supper, and the curtain goes down on a very effect- ive tableau. I don't object to the dog. It's the liver." The mention of stage dogs brings to mind an amusing incident that occur- red in a well known theatrical agent's office last summer. In came a rough looking little man wearing a check suit that once used to speak out for itself, but was now silenced by the heavy hand of time. The man was followed by a dog of attractive appearance. The visitor said he did a "tramp act," as- sisted by the animal. Then they gave an exhibition of themselves and were certainly above the average. "What are your terms?" the agent queried. "Ten pounds a week." "I'11 give you two." The imitation tramp—but he was not far from the real thing—looked with a sad, reproachful eye at the agent and silently backed out of the office, the dog meekly following. However, within a few seconds the man returned, quick- ly closing the door to exclude his part- ner, who clamored to get in. "I'll take It," he said In a hurried whisper. "Where's the contract? I'm real broke, so it's a clear case of push; but, for heaven's sake, don't mention the price where the dog can hear you."—Cham- bers' Journal.

Only one person in 15 bas perfec eyes, the largest percentage of defect prevailing among fair haired people §bort sight is more common in tow than among country folk, and of al people the Germans have the larges proportion of shortsighted persons. The crystalline lens of the eye is th one portion of the human body whic continues to increase with the attain went of maturity. The smallest interval of sound can be better distinguished with one ear than with both. The nails of two fingers never grow with the same ra- pidity, that of the middle finger grow- ing the fastest, while that of the thumb grows the slowest. In 54 cases out of 100 the left leg is shorter than the right. The bones of an average human male skeleton weigh 20 pounds, those of a woman are six pounds lighter. That unruly member, the tongue of a woman, is also smaller than that of a man, given a man and a woman of equal size and weight. It may be ap- palling to reflect, but it is nevertheless true, that the muscles of the human jaw exert a force of over 500 pounds. The symmetry which is the sole in- telligible ground for our idea of beauty, the proportion between the upper and lower half of the human body, exists in nearly all males, but is never found in the female. American limbs are more symmetrical than those of any other people. The rocking chair, ac- cording to an English scientist, is re- sponsible for the exercise which in- creases the beauty of the lower limbs. The push which the toes give to keep the chair in motion, repeated and re- peated, makes the instep high, the calf round and full, and it makes the ankle delicate and slender.—Exchange. s are e s r - o, • s n 1 e h When Irving Forgot Himself. Ben Webster, an English actor, told a good story of bow he held his own when Sir Henry Irving happened to be absentminded. In the "Lyons Mail" there is a touching scene between Le- surques (played by Irving) and his daughter Julie, of which Didier (Mr. Ben Webster) is a perfectly silent wit- ness. One night Sir Henry, instead of mak- ing his long speech, appealed in trem- bling tones to Mr. Webster: "Speak to her, Didier; speak to her!" Didier was dumfounded. There was an awful pause. Irving, quite unconscious of his own mistake, frowned wrathfully at the young actor, but Mr. Webster, equal to the occasion, gave way to a burst of tears and exclaimed, "I can- not; you know I cannot speak!" and turned his back on the audience. Then Sir Henry picked up his lines with a start, and it was observed that Didier's shoulders shook with emotion! —Louisville Courier -Journal. Japanese Story Tellers.

In case of fire if the burning articles are at once splashed with a solution of salt and nitrate of ammonia an in- combustible coating is formed. This is a preparation which can be made at home at a trifling cost and should be kept on band. Dissolve 20 pounds of common salt and 10 pounds of nitrate of ammonia in 7 gallons of water. Pour this into quart bottles of thin glass, and fire grenades are at hand ready for use. These bottles must be tightly corked and sealed to prevent evaporation, and in case of fire they must be thrown near the flames so as to break and liberate the gas contain- ed. At least two dozen of these bottles should be ready for an emergency. In this connection it is well to re- member that water on burning oil scat- ters the flame, but that flour will extin- guish it. Salt thrown upon a fire if the chimney is burning will help to deaden the blaze. If a fire once gets under headway, a covering becomes a necessity. A silk handkerchief moistened and wrapped about the mouth and nostrils prevents suffocation from smoke. Failing this, a piece Of wet flannel will answer. Should smoke fill the room, ilemem- ber that it goes first to the top of the room and then to the floor. Wrap a blanket or woolen garment about you, with the wet cloth over your face, drop on your hands and knees and crawl to the window. Bear in mind that there is no more danger in getting down from a three story window than from the first floor if you keep a firm hold of the rope or ladder. Do not slide, but go hand over hand. One of Sothern's Jokes. That inveterate joker, Sothern the actor, had made an appointment with Toole, the comedian, to dine at a well known London restaurant. The hour of meeting was fixed and Sothern ar- rived some few minutes before the ap- pointed time. An elderly gentleman was dining at a table at some little distance from that prepared for the two actors. He was reading a news- paper which he had comfortably ar- ranged before him as he was eating his dinner. Sothern walked up to him and striking him a smart blow between the shoulders said: "Hello, old fellow! Who would have thought of seeing you here? I thought you never"— The assaulted diner turned around angrily, when Sothern exclaimed: "I beg you a thousand par- dons, sir. I thought you were an old friend of mine—a family man whom I never expected to see here. I hope you will pardon me." The old gentleman growled a reply, and Sothern returned to his table, where he was presently joined by Toole, to whom he said: ' ; ee that old boy? I'll bet you half a crown you daren't go and give him a slap on the back and pretend you have mistaken him for a friend." "Done!" said Toole, and done it was immediately with a result that may be imagined. Eneouraging Her Cowin. "Ab, yes!" sighed the lovelorn youth. "I'm passionately in love with Miss Van Fickel. I wonder if I will ever succeed In winning her affections?' "Why not?' replied his Cousin Hel- en. I know at least half a dozen other nlen,who have." --Philadelphia Press. How Horses Rest. "Have you ever noticed," asked a Germantown veterinarian the other day, "that every horse left standing by a curbstone for any length of time in- variably turns around so as to place his fore feet on the sidewalk? He al- ways does it if the road on which he is standing slopes the least bit in either direction. This shows that the horse has a great deal of plain, common sense. He will not allow himself to be worn out where it Is not necessary. If people only had his wisdom, there would be a great deal less sickness in the world than there is at present. When a thoughtless driver leaves his horse standing on a slope or at an angle of the street, all the animal's weight is thrown upon one side, causing strain, and if left long enough painful ex- haustion. Twenty minutes of such an ordeal will fatigue a horse more than a whole day's travel. But when he is able to plant his fore feet on the curb- stone It gives him a better plant and adjusts bis weight more equably. Many of the muscular ailments from which horses suffer are brought upon them by being continually obliged to stand by the gutter side on streets which slope decidedly. A good driver will always seek to rest his horse on a level when possible." --Philadelphia Record. Arizona Forests. Arizona is supposed -to be almost an unbroken desert, but in reality it has the largest unbroken pine forest in the United States, covering an area of over 8,000 square miles. This timber is usually found at an altitude of be- tween 5,500 and 7,500 feet. The total quantity of pine timber fit for sawing purposes within the boundaries of the territory amounts to 10,000,000,000 feet, which can supply the needs of a popu- lous state for more than a century. Highest Cross In the World. The highest cross in the world is said to be that which caps the loftiest peak of the Harz mountains. The cross is in reality a tower, and it commands a magnificent view of the country around. The height of the tower is 120 feet, and It stands on a mountain 1,731 feet above the sea level. A stair of 200 steps leads to the top of the cross, but there is an elevator of which people may avail themselves who for any reason wish to avoid the long climb. Buying Molasses. She was newly arrived from the old country. and she went to the store for sirup. "Give me a pound of treacle." she said to the grocer. "Treacle!" repeated the grocer. "You mean molasses." "Possibly." "We don't sell it by the pound, but by the measure." "Oh, then give me a yard!"—Pitts- burg Chronicle-Telggsaph. They Raised Pairs. While Bishop Potter of the Episcopal church was traveling through Louisi- ana some years ago he addressed in- quiries to his fellow passengers with a view of obtaining knowledge regarding the orchards and fruit interests of the state. "Do you raise pears in Louisiana?' inquired the bishop. "We do," responded the Louisianian, "if we have threes or better." --San Francisco Call. Shrewd Peter the Great. Peter the Great adopted rather a nov- el means to convince his subjects that the;t should change their clothes to Conform with the modern co03tumes of western Enrope. Believing, as is wen known historically, that the future greatness of Russia depended upon the facility with which it was made to as- similate all that was best in other countries, he had succeeded in introduc- ing some important innovations into the half civilized region over which he held sway. At length he had patterns of cloth hung up at the gates of the towns, and those who did not conform to the fashions thus set were docked publicly, albeit this was done in as pleasant a manner as possible, for Pe- ter believed in being good natured with his people. They, on the other band, loudly demurred and used the argu- ment that what was good enough for their forefathers was good enough for them. "Very well," said the sagacious Pe- ter. In 1703 he gave a dinner at Mos- cow to ceitIprate the marriage of one of his jesters and insisted that it should be conducted in strict conformity with ancient usage. There had formerly been a superstitious custom of not lighting a fire on a wedding. So Peter made them do without a lire, although it was very cold. He wd►idn't give them any wine, because their forefa- thers never drank it. When they re- monstrated, he reminded them that It was a poor rule which did not work all around, and thus by his good natured greatness wheedled his people into new coats, about the hardest thing that can be done with humanity. Eloquence and the Pea. Our worthy forefathers were fond of rhetoric—particularly of funereal rhet- oric—and were not always quick to perceive the dividing line between the sublime and ridiculous. They seem, moreover, to have regarded the extraor- dinary as contributing an added and kindred element to the impressive. Many of their epitaphs show this, but few more completely than that of an estimable matron who perished un- timely in Newburyport in the eight- eenth century. Her tombstone on the crest of the burying hill is yet easily legible, with no more trouble than scraping a bit of lichen here and there and kneeling to push away the long grass and intrud- ing daisies. Thus it reads: Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Mary McHard The virtuous and estimable Consort of Captain William McHard of Newbury Port, who midst the laudable exertions of a very useful and desirable, Life, in which her Christian Profession was well adorned, and a fair copy of every social virtue displayed, was, in a state of health, Suddenly Summoned to the Skies & snatched from ye eager embraces of her friends (and the throbbing hearts of her disconsolate family confess'd their fairest prospects of sublunary bliss were in one moment daah'd) by Swallowing a Pea at her own table, whence in a few hours she sweetly breathed her Soul away on the 8th day of March 1778, aged 47. This Mournful Stone as a faithful Monument of Virtue sed to Realms Above and a solemn Monitor to all below the Stars, is Erected by her Husband. —Youth's Companion. In the fourteenth century the slaugh ter of women and children after a town or castle had been taken by storm was one of the most common oc- currences of war. The first Rhine steamer made its trips from Rotterdam to Cologne in 1816. • CHILD LOVE. Two little arms were clinging. And a little head was pressed (The rosy face all hidden) Closely against my breast. "What L it, dear?" I questioned, Caressing the golden head. Whispering sweetly and shyly, "I love yout" the darling said. What had I given to win it— This offering pure and sweet? A story told in the twilight, A merry word when we meet? Oh, child love, so gladly offered, So easily won, I pray Through life I may and this treasure Mine, as it is today! There are trials to meet and vanquish And sorrows crowned with the years, And lips curve less to smiling, And eyes ail oft with tears, But the heavy heart grows lighter, Half of its grief beguiled, When love, with a heaven born impulse, Speaks from the lips of a child! —Home Notes. COUNTERFEIT ART. Americans Are Easily Swindled on Pictures by "Old Masters." There will doubtless never come a time in the history of the art world when the discovery of 'old masters" will cease, certainly not as long as American picture buyers possess the almighty dollar and are willing to be swindled. Nearly every week in New York for the last year there have been auction sales of "rare old masters." Some of them are rare, indeed; one that was shown at the Macbeth gallery and also in Detroit some time ago, supposed to be a study of an old man by Rubens, the left hand of which was nearly twice the size of its mate, and the term "rare" did certainly apply very aptly to the flesh tints. Do people ever stop to think how many bf these "old masters" there are in existence? Any one may have an "old master" these days who has the "price to pay the dealer to find one or go abroad and get One 'made.' " There are many artists in Paris and else- where lsewhere who make a good living, or what they consider a good living, copy- ing "old masters" in the various gal- leries to sell to dealers for little or nothing, and they in turn bring them to America and clear hundreds by sell- ing them to some moneyed art lover who in some cases is doubtless in the possession of more money than judg- ment in art matters. One well known New York art col- lector some time ago paid a large sum for a certain painting that an enter- priatng desttr had "dlseuvere.y tea who represented it to him as very rare and the only one in existence. The same gentleman while on a recent tour through Spain was shown the original painting upon the walls of a certain monastery. The sequel of the story does not say what he did with the dealer. If there be a hereafter for these discoverers of "old masters," their con- sciences, which seem very elastic, will have to do a deal of rubbering to get back to the required shape to fit them for their celestial abiding places or to meet the frowns of the shades of de- parted e.parted masters themselves.—Detroit New Tribune. A Booting Epitaph. The following epitaph is to be found in Dalkeith churchyard, over the grave of Margaret Scott: Stop, passenger, until my life you read. The living may get knowledge by the dead. Five times five years I lived a maiden's life; Ten times ave years I lived a widow chaste. Now, weary of this mortal life, I rest. Between my cradle and my grave have been Eight mighty kings of Scotland and a queen. Four times five years the commonwealth I saw; Ten times the subjects rose against the law. Twice did I see old prelacy pulled down, And twice the cloak was humbled by the gewn. An end of Stewart's race I saw; nay, more— My native country sold for English ore. Such desolations in my life have been; I have an end of all perfection seen. This lady was born in 1613 and lived to the age of 125 and, therefore, must have lived through the following list of rulers: James I, Charles I, the com- monwealth of Oliver Cromwell as pro- tector, Charles II, James II, William III and Mary, Anne, George I and George II.—London Chronicle. Methods of Curing Jungle Fever. I got over my attack, but it was a marvel that I did. One morning my doctor bled me till there was scarcely a drop of blood left in my body. He then gave me 40 grains of calomel, and in the evening, as the fever was still raging, he ordered' me to be taken out to the yard of my quarters, laid on a bare rattan couch and buckets of cold water thrown over me for about 20 minutes! I was then put back to bed and fortunately fell asleep for several hours. After some weeks on the yick list, I was able to return to my post at Kornegalle."Fifty Years In Ceylon."

How Venomous Creature Is Handled by Bladon Snake Charmers. The creatures were on the defensive, but not one of them attempted to strike at the master, who sat serenely in front of them, so long as he did nothing to annoy them. Kullan talked to them as if they were his dearest friends. After a time one or the other of them would lower its bead, collapse its hood and begin to try to wriggle away. Whereupon. Kullan would give It a smart little rap on the tail with his stick and bring it instantly to at- tention again. Whether this man pos- sessed any special magic over these co- bras or whether the description given below of how he could handle and play with them was simply due to his meth- od I cannot say. He himself repudia- ted the idea of magic and asserted pos- itively that any one who had the nec- essary nerve and dexterity could do exactly the same. He used no reed instrument or mu- sic of any kind to propitiate the rep- tiles. He would simply squat on his haunches in front of them, End, after they had been kissing and swaying their uplifted heads backward and for- ward for a few minutes, he raised his hands above their heads and slowly made them descend till they rested on the snakes' beads. He then stroked them gently, speaking all the time in the most endearing Hindoostanee terms. The serpents appeared spell- bound. They made no effort to resent the liberty, but remained quite still, with heads uplifted, and seemed rather to enjoy it. Presently his hands would descend down the necks about three inches below the heads, his fingers would close loosely around the necks, and he would lift them off the ground and place them on his shoulders. The looseness of the grip appeared to be the main secret. The snakes, being in no way hurt, would then slowly crawl through his fingers and wind them- selves round his neck, his shoulders and bis arms. They appeared to real- ize that no harm was to be done them, and they made no effort to resent the handling. He would pick them gently off one arm and place them on the other and, in fact, stroke them and pet them as if they had been a pair of harmless worms.—Cornhill. A TIGRESS WITH A GRUDGE. She Gets Furious at Sight of a Keep er Who Once Beat Her. There is a lean tigress in the Central park nienageria_ who spends a part or the day beating her head against the iron bars of her cage in a vain attempt to spring upon one of the keepers. Ordinarily the animal is quiet enough. It is only when this keeper passes that she ceases to be a purring cat and becomes a fiend incarnate. The other morning the tigress was in an extreme- ly bad temper. When her fancied en- emy stuck a mop in through the bars to clean her cage, she sprang at him, growling in thunderous bass. Nearly everybody in the crowd stepped back involuntarily. The keeper placed an iron bar in the cage at the great cat's feet and went on with his work, while the animal snarled in _ impotent rage and drew back her upper lip over two gleaming white fangs. "She doesn't seem to be fond of you," ventured a bystander. "No, there isn't much love lost be- tween us," replied the keeper. "Her tantrums show that animals treasure grudges just like people. That tigress came here eight years ago. A day or two after she arrived I had to punish her, and she has never got over it. She watches me all day out of the cor- ner of her eye, and every time I go by the cage she makes a jump. I sup- pose she thinks she'll get me some time. If she does, I might as well say goodby." While the man talked the tigress looked at him with hate plainly stamp- ed on her face. When he went away, she watched him until he was lost to view. Then she resumed her nervous tramp, tramp.—New York Maii and Express. Profits In Fractions of Cents. It is most astonishing that trade in these days is making its enormous profits in the fractions of a cent. In one of the cities of the country there was a bank president who gave his millions for philanthropic purposes. During his life, even on the days when he was almost too infirm to walk, he would trudge sadly and brokenly to his home. One day a man met him on the street and said: "Why don't you take the street car?" He instantly replied, "My dear friend, do you appreciate the fact that a hundred dollars would have to work half a week to pay that fare?" And yet be gave two millions to a library and another million to a hos- pital. That is the spirit of modern money making. On the one band it gets the millions through the i 'actions of cents, and with the other it spends the millions without regard to deci- mals.—Saturday Evening Post. Betrayed by His Peet.

The Jacobson bill increasing the tax upon railroad gross earnings from three to four per cent passed the senate on Thursday. The hill changing the two insane asylums to hospitals passed the house on Tuesday. The primary election bill has passed both houses, with amend- ments requiring a conference com- mittee. The recent rapid rise in the shares of the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron Mines, from $7 to nearly $200, has helped a number of people in Duluth, who were reduced to poverty by the collapse of the boom eight or nine years ago. Most of them have held their stock becaase it was con- sidered worthless, and they are now selling out at the market price. Gov. Van Sant has appointed the following commissioners ander the new board of control law: S. N. Leavitt, of Litchfield, two years; W. E. Lee, of Long Prairie, four years; C. A.

G: Winner, the celebrated midgets, are on exhibi- t tion at N. M. Pitzen's this week, attracting considerable attention. The major was born in Iowa, July 12th, 1869. His parents and other members of the family were of aver- age size and weight. Illness arrested his physical growth, but his mind de- veloped with years, and at the age of seventeen he entered into business, where he remained until he accepted an offer to go on the road with Ring- ling Bros.' circus in 1890. The ma- jor is thirty-six inches tall, and weighs eighty pounds. Mrs. Winner was born in Columbiana County, 0., Feb. 3d, 1873. She is thirty-five inches tall, and weighs sixty-five pounds. They were married iu Mich- igan, Feb.,3d, 1896. As an advertis- ing card they are a great success. Some time since, while in conversa- tion with Capt. Newcomb of Pepin, he informed us that there was a good show for a packet line between La Crosse and St. Paul, and if the deal was consummated he would be in on the ground floor. It seems there is no longer any doubt as to the outcome and he has purchased the Cyclone, one of the fastest boats on the river, which he will remodel and put in shape for packet work. He will run in con- nection with the Lyon that now plies between Wabasha and LaCrosse, and each will make three trips a week. —Lake City Graphic Sentinel. A family of ten came to town last week from the northern part of the state.

SHERIN. 800000000p00000°M0000000 The story properly begins at mi night on the San Luis Obispo cogs California, 20 years ago, when the S tember moonlight shone down upo Stoner's cattle ranch, near the Paci ocean, in the rugged Santa Luc mountains. Stoner had been a Texas ranger an could hold his own extremely well that rough frontier community. H had carried off a pretty Spanish wtf from the Chihuahua region years b tore, had brought !Ser to the rock la California coast and d purchas a settler's claire and an old adol house built by a Spanish hidalgo ha a century ago. Here he farmed, raised cattle on ti unused government lands and kept sort of hotel, for several mountai trails joined at that point the broa highway which led from the count seat, 20 miles south, to the norther settlements in the pineries. He ha five daughters, too, the youngest, The esa, known as Tessa, a girl of 17. Tha added to the attraction, and atmos every night the dark eyed half Spar ish girls sang and danced, and of Stoner managed to hear all the new that was afloat, and somehow most o the loose coin of the region ultimatel found its way into his pockets. H was a deep one, that same Ephrai Stoner, quiet, sly and patient, secre iu his methods and deadly in his blow Stoner's wife and his four eldes daughters were uneducated and i complete subjection to his will. Bu Tessa had more brains and energy tha all the rest put together and quite a much beauty, and so the old Texa ranger took a certain pride in her an had even allowed her to attend a dis trict school for two years. This midnight when, as I have said the story begins a person of a pryin disposition might have discovered sev eral interesting performances in prog ress around the Stoner abode. On th north side of the house Tessa was lean ing from her window conversing in low tones with a blond, fair haired and sturdy young man on horseback. "Tom, do you know my father? He is not the careless, warm hearted man you may suppose. I must admire his ability, but that is all. 1 warn you, Tom, there never was a more danger- ous mfr. He may be where he bears every word you say, though if he is he will not speak to you or me about it. But if he knew you cared for me he would be your enemy. He has other plans for me. He wants me to marry for money." Tom Warren had once been the schoolteacher in the mountain district, miles away, where Tessa had been one of his pupils. Thrown upon his own resources from his childhood, he had developed a strong, earnest character and was already so popular in the county that he had just been elected sheriff, though the youngest man on the ticket. While Tessa and her lover were talk- ing a scene of a different nature was being enacted on the south side of the old adobe, which overlooked a deep ra- vine and a camp of five or six men in a field below. For several years these men had spent their summers there, ostensibly hunting, fishing and explor- ing the country with their dogs and guns. Every one knew them, and most persons liked them. Tessa did not. Stoner, though it was midnight, sat in the moonlight on an old rawhide chair outside the door smoking his pipe and meditating—a tough, sinewy, griz- zled night owl of a man. "That infernal knucklehead at the camp ought to have reported before now," he thought to himself as he smoked. A man came out of the brush and spoke deferentially. "Cap'n, good evening." "You're late." "Dick was shot." "Well?" "Just as the driver throwed off the box. Shot by a passenger in the neck and shoulder." "He mustn't stay here to get us into trouble. Take a boat and carry him to the point and leave him in the cave there." "Yes, cap'n." "How much aboard?" "About $2,000 for the Josephine min- ers." "Send it over the cliff before morn- ing, and I'll divide it up soon. But you be extra careful—that new sheriff is a smart one." "All right, eap'n. "And the man went back to camp. A moment later, just as Stoner was going into the house, there was a low thud of horse's hoofs, and Tom Warren, the young sheriff, rode down the trail around the corner of the old adobe building into the country road that led to the west. He had at last yielded to Tessa's entreaties to "Go, go, this minute, Tom." Impassive as Stoner was he felt a little startled by the sight. "Where in the devil did you come from, sheriff? Anything up in this part of the country?" "Oh, no, not a particle. I've been visiting my old school in the moun- tains and took the trail home down Cayucus." This was plausible enough, for there was a blind trail that entered the can- yon just east of the angle of the house. Stoner felt a little relieved. "Won't you put up and stay with us all night?" "No, Mr. Stoner: I must go down to Kestral to see my friends there. It's only an hour's ride." "That settles it," thought Stoner. "Plenty of stout fellows to use as s:ler- iff's deputies there. He has probably stumbled on traces and is going for help." He sat and smoked and slipped his hand back under his coat. "Easy to shoot the fellow," be said to himself. "Well, goodby, Stoner," said Warren suddenly. "I suppose the beach road is as good as ever?" 0 ©©0 08 d - t, ep- 11 fic is in e e e- v if le a n d n d r- t 1- d s f Ye e m n t n s n d g e "Perfectly safe, only when !fou cro Toro creek keep on the sand bar. It as hard es iron. I crossed there today "Thank you. Adios." Simple, smiling speech, those words of Stoner, and yet they were intended to send Warren to his death more sure- ly and safely than by bullet of pistol o pellet of secret poison. Stoner took an extra swig of brand and went to his rest. Warren rod 88 'Knew AU Their Tricks. 's "Gentlemen," said Frederick the Great, "I am entirely dissatisfied with the cavalry. The regiments are com- pletely out of hand; there is r_o ac- curacy, no order; the men ride like tailors. I beg that this may not occur r again and that each of you will pay more attention to his duty, but I know Y how things go on. You think I am not e up to your dodges, but I know them all and will recapitulate them. "When the season for riding drill comes on, the captain sends for the sergeant major and says: 'I have an appointment this morning at —, Tell the first lieutenant to take the rides.' So the sergeant major goes to the senior subaltern and gives him the message, and the latter says: 'What! The captain will be away? Then I amu off hunting. Tell the second lieutenant to take the men.' And the second lieu- tenant, who is probably still in bed, says: 'What, both of them away? Then I will stay where 1 am. I was up till 3 this morning at a dance. Tell the cornet I am ill and he must take the rides.' Finally the cornet remarks: 'Look here, firgeunt major, what is the good of my standing out there in the colt# You know all about it much better than I do. You go and take thein,' and so it goes, and what must be the end of it all? What can I hope to do with such cavalry before the en- emy?"—"History of Frederick the Great." down the rugged hill to the bottom o the ravine, then turned seaward, an at last the wide gulch opened broadl to the shore of the Pacific. The cliffs were from 50 to 300 fee high and full of wave worn caves. Wa ren . drew rein on the beach and fo fully ten minutes watched the ocea sway and rise. His thoughts throbbe with dreams of Tessa. Ile -+could tak her away from her narrow and hurtfu surroundings. He would force Stoner' consent, marry her and make her happy He rode rapidly south, and in half a hour the mouth of the Toro appeared 1 the midst of sand dunes, breakers roll ing in and the steady river rolling out Here was the long sand bar, ten fee wide and stretching across hardly a inch higher than the water surface. Warren was beginning to have son suspicions of Stoner, but not such as t lead him to doubt the simple direction he had received. The sand bar look safe, but within a few days the sea, a Stoner knew, had swept It migitily torn out the long compacted bar an placed instead a quivering mass o quicksand so treacherous that not eve a light footed rabbit could cross with out being swallowed up and drag bodily down. Warren rode swiftly for ward. He had crossed sand bars hun dreds of times. Some horses woul have been wiser, but the animal h rode had been bred in the valley. The approach to the bar was hard fo a few rods, and he galloped on. Sud deniy, in one heartbreaking, breathless descent, noiseless but unutterably dreadful, Tom Warren's horse went down, down, and the soft, slimy sand came up to his mane. He shrieked out that ghastly cry of appeal and agony that a desperate, dying horse will some- times utter. Tom knew the peril. He had drawn his feet from the stirrups and lifted them up at the first downward throb, but the sand began to grab at him also. He threw himself flat on his breast and tore himself loose from the poor ani- mal, over whose back the mingled sand and water were running, as it rolled from side to side in ineffectual strug- gles to escape. Tom spread himself out over as mulch surface as possible, but slowly, resist- lessly, the mighty force drew him down- ward. The hard beach was only ten feet distant, but practically the chasm was impassable. He felt his horse sink out of sight. The sand gripped his own knees and arms, his thighs and shoulders. Two inches more, and the end by suffocation was inevitable. Up to this time he had not shouted; only his horse's wild death scream had told of the tragedy. What was the use? Who would be passing along that lone- ly road? Then he thought of Tessa and of life. He raised his voice in a clear, strong shout for help, again and again repeated. Far off along the deep ravine there came a cry in response and a horse's hurrying feet, and hope awoke in his heart. The margin of life was five minutes now—not longer. Faster, fast- er, oh, fearless rider! "Tom, where are you?" "Here, Tessa. Don't come too near." But the mountain girl knew the dan- ger. Creeping down stairs for a drink of water, she had heard her father's words to Warren, had thrown a shawl about her shoulders and run to the pasture. There she caught her pet horse, sprang upon his unsaddled back, seized a riatta as she passed the stable and galloped at the utmost speed down the ravine, hoping against hope, for many minutes had necessarily elapsed since Warren started. She sprang to the ground and tossed the rawhide rope to the one arm he held above the sand. She folded her shawl and put it over her horse's shoulders and tied the rtatta round like a collar. Then she led him slowly away from the quicksands, and War- ren thought his arm would break, but slowly, reluctantly, painfully, the sand gave up its prey. "Your father told me to take this road, Tessa," said the young sheriff. "Yes, I know that, and I beard one of the men tell him today that the bar was swept out." There was a long silence between them. ' "Tessa, go with me to San Luis," said Warren, "and let us get married-" And Tessa went. Old Stoner heard the news a few days later, Within an hour be bad "retired from business." The camp was broken up, the bunters disappear- ed, mysterious lights flashed at inter- vals all night from the points of the cliff, and the next day old Stoner him- self disappeared, leaving his family, the ranch and the live stock. It was said that he made the best of his way to Mexico and finally to South Amer- ica. The world is large as yet, and men who have money can ramble over a good deal of it without finding a past they wish to escape from. But Tessa lives in her San Luis Obispo cot- tage, with orange trees over it and La Marque roses on the porch, and she thinks herself the happiest woman in California. f d y t r - r n d e 1 8 n n t n e 0 ed s a f n ged d e r Victoria's Proposal.

"Do you want to just rim this over(' before I send it to son ,lames?" he in- quired, and when Mrs. Jowders shook her head he hastily folded the sheet, which bore the marks of hours of toil, and thrust it into au envelope, which he sealed with trembling expedition and then leaned back in his chair with an air of relief.

The composer Verdi was offered a title of nobility by King Victor Em- manuel. It was intended that he should be created Marquis or Comte de Bus- seto, after the estate upon which he lived. The composer refused the offer energetically. He considered that Verdi was somebody and that the Marquis de Busseto would lie nobody. Even Bismarck was unable to parry a blow of this character. When the young emperor broke with him, he conferred upon him the title of Duke of Lauenbourg. Bismarck received the parchment with this exclamation: "A pretty name! It will be handy for traveling incognito." Some days after a parcel arrived at Varzin bearing the address "Mme. la Duchesse de Lauenbourg." Bismarck, to whom it was delivered, being then at table, arose and, offering the letter to his wife, remarked iron- ically: "Duchess, enchanted to make your acquaintance!" Where He Shone. A Thespian who spent several years trying to get beyond "the carriage awaits milord" station in first class Broadway productions was induced by his brother to join him in the dairy business in the City of Mexico. While on a business trip to this city recently buying new machinery and appliances for his prosperous Mexican creameries he met one of bis former companions who was still struggling for an oppor- tunity to "say lines." An exchange of confidences revealed the fact that the former actor was now making a snug fortune in the milk business, and his friend, the persevering player, remark- ed: "You're all right, Billy. You could never have shone in a theatrical way, but you are a star In a milky way."— New York Sun. The Word Gazette. The word "gazette" is from the name of an old Venetian coin worth about one-half cent of our money. The name Is applied to newspapers because it was the sum charged for reading the first written journals that made their appearance in 1550. After the paper was read it was handed back to the owner, who charged the next comer a gazette for taking a peep at it. Force of Habit. One of the neatest arrests on record was effected by a policeman near Bourne, England, not long ago.

Emerson's Last Lecture. In his "Eccentricities of Genius" Major Pond tells the pathetic story of Ralph Waldo Emerson's last lecture, delivered in the Old South church In Boston for the fund to save that build- ing from demolition: "As he began reading his lecture the audience was very attentive. After a few moments be lost his place, and his granddaughter, sitting in the front row of seats, gently stepped toward him and reminded him that he was lectur- ing. He saw at once that he was wan- dering, and, with the most charming, characteristic. apologetic bow, he re- sumed his place, an incident that seem- ed to affect the audience more than anything else that could possibly have occurred. A few moments later he took a piece of manuscript In bis band and, turning around with it, laid it on a side table. Just then one of the audi- ence said to me (I think it was Mrs. Livermore or Mr. Howe), 'Please have the audience pass right out,' and, rush- ing up to Mr. Emerson, said, 'Thank you so much for that delightful lec- ture;' then, turning around, waved the audience to go out. "He probably had been speaking about 15 minutes. The audience pass- ed out, many of them in tears. It was one of the most pathetic sights I ever witnessed." 111. Exact Words.

THE HOW THE SKETCHES ARE REPRO- DUCED UPON THE FILMS. The Amount of Movement That May Be Crowded into Fifty Seconds. The Greatest Successes Are Often Brought About by Accident. A queer thing about moving pic- tures," said an expert operator in that -line to a New Orleans Times -Democrat reporter, "is the illusion they generally produce as to the time they occupy while on the screen. What is known as the 'standard exhibition film' is 50 feet long. It is used almost entirely for comic scenes, trick pictures and other effects that are got up In the studios of the experts who make them a specialty. Every theater goer has seen them, and I will venture the as- sertion that the average man will de- clare they take at least three or four minutes in passing before the eye. As a matter of fact the picture is on the screen less than one minute. You can easily figure it out for yourself. The ordinary 50 foot film of the kind to which I refer is put through the repro- ducing machine at the rate of 16 pic- tures to the second. Each picture is three-fourths of an inch broad, which makes the 16 measure exactly one foot, edge to edge; in other words, the film travels a foot a second -50 feet, 50 seconds. What gives it the effect of taki-T up so much more time is the immense lot of action that is usually crowded into the brief period it is in view. Until the moving picture was invented I don't think anybody had the least idea how much could be done in 50 seconds. It seemed hardly time enough to turn around in, yet when the experts began to study its possi- bilities they found it was ample for hundreds of little pictorial comedies that have since delighted audiences all over the world. "It is entirely a matter of rehearsal. A subject is selected, generally calling for from three to four people, and ev- ery detail of the 'business' or action is carefully worked out in advance. Sup- pose, for illustration, that a comic bur- glary is the topic. The business, in skeleton, might run something like this: Old gentleman dozing in parlor; enter burglar; old gentleman awakes; burglar hides; enter policeman, search- es the room, collars old gent; they fight and roll on the flopr while bur- glar suddenly emerges and leaps out of &he window. That doesn't sound parlcularly side splitting, but in the hands of intelligent comedians it can be made really very fuuy. The all es- sential thing is to crowd it into 50 sec- onds, and to that end each bit of ac- tion is carefully timed' and made to fit into each other bit like so many well geared cogwheels. The old gen- tleman's startled yawn, the burglar's glance around the room and every step, movement and gesture from be- ginning to end is calculated with the utmost nicety, and at last after dozens of rehearsals the act is attempted be- fore the recording machiue. If every- body is lucky. It goes through on sched- ule time, but the slightest bitch is fa- tal, and it one occurs'the flim is spoil- ed, and they must try all over again. No wonder it seems impossible to fu- ture spectators that so much could transpire in 50 seconds. "But some of the most telling effects In composition pictures," continued the operator. "ha ve been the result of acci- dent and were entirely unpremeditat- ed. That was the case with a film that I had a hand in preparing and that afterward made a tremendous bit and proved. to be one of the best sellers ever put on the market. In getting up the picture our principal purpose was to introduce a large and very in- telligent bulldog I owned at the time, and we sketched out a simple little scene in which n tramp steals a pie from a kitchen window, is pursued by the dog and is last seen trying to scale the back fence with the animal hang- ing to his coattails. "The training of the dog was the main trouble, but 1 finally taught him to lay bold of anything red, and we sowed a big piece of flannel as a mark _to the back of our tramp's coat. Red photographs black, so it couldn't be seen in the pictures, and after a good many rehearsals the dog learned to dash out at exactly the right moment and nail the marauder, whose cue was then to rush for the fence and consume the remaining time in making an ap- parently desperate effort to scramble over the top. At last we got every- thing all ready, gave the word and started the record machine to take the picture. "Immediately the little comedy be- gan. The tramp appeared, looked around stealthily, saw the pie, hooked it and was having a feast when out sprang the bulldog and seized him by the coattails. He thereupon sprinted to the fence and was about to carry out the reit of the programme when, to our consternation, the boards gave way, and he came down bang on top of the dog. The film had about ten seconds to run, and it was occupied in recording one of the liveliest scraps that ever happened. There was no hippodrome about it. Both parties were out for blood. When the fence fell, the bull- dog had promptly transferred himself from the tramp's coattail to the tramp's - calf, while that unfortunate person snatched up a broomstick and tried to pry him loose. They rolled over and put about 50 times as much action and animation in the last ten seconds as had been crowded into the preceding 40. We finally pulled them apart, and it was not until the negative was devel- oped that we realized what a prize we STAFF OF LIFE. HOW TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RE- SULTS IN BREADMAKING. Food Prepared From Cereals Dates Sack to Remote Antiquity and Is In Universal Use — Some Common and Dangerous Faults. There is hardly any food except milk, says Miss Helen O. Atwater in a paper prepared for the department of agri- culture, which is so universally used as bread, and not only is it known almost everywhere, but since history first be- gun it has in some form or other made_ one of the staples of diet among all but the most savage peoples. Tho reason for this importance of bread is very simple. Ever since the faroff days when our -forefathers first found the wild cereals or began to cul- tivate them men have known that food prepared from them would sup- port life and strength better than any other single food except milk. There are still many districts where the peo- ple eat very little else. To a large part of mankind it is still the staff of life, and if they pray for their daily bread they mean it literally. In regard to its ingredients, bread is one of the simplest of our cooked foods, but in regard to the changes which the raw materials must undergo to produce a finished loaf it is one of the most complicated. There are various meth- ods of mixing dough, but certain gener- al rules apply to them all. As yeast develops best at a moderately high temperature (77 to 95 degrees F.), the materials of the dough should be at least lukewarm, and the mixture and raising should be done in a warm place as free as possible from drafts. If all portions of the dough are to be equally aerated by the gas from the growing yeast, the latter must be thoroughly mixed with the flour and water. More- over, as the presence of oxygen aids i he growth of the yeast, all parts of the dough should be exposed to the air. Both these results are accomplished by the kneading. Too little yeast will of course yield a badly raised loaf, but too much yeast is just as dangerous. One of the most common and danger- ous faults in bread is heaviness and sogginess. This may be caused by the use of cheap flours, poor in gluten, which cannot absorb all the water put into the dough or, to state it in another way, by the use of too much water in proportion to the flour, by too little or by too poor yeast or by insufficient kneading, rising or baking. Heavy bread is popularly considered one of the most indigestible of foods. When chewed, it rolls itself into solid lumps, which give the saliva and gastric juices very little chance to work upon them. Sometimes breadmakers are troubled by what is known as "sticky" or "slimy" bread. In such cases bread three or four days old takes on a light brown color and a peculiar taste and odor. The trouble appears to be caus- ed by the common potato bacillus, a minute organism which finds its way into the materials of the dough, sur- vives the baking and, growing in the bread, causes it to decompose. The best safeguards are to keep the bread in a cool place and to bake only as much as can be consumed within a day or two. - Not infrequently, especially in damp weather, mold forms on the outside or even in the inside of bread. Mold, like yeast, is a minute plant whose spores (or seeds) are floating about every- where in the air, ready to settle down and grow wherever they find a moist, suitable home for themselves. The best practicable way to protect bread from them is to keep it in a dry, air- tight box. But all these faults seem Insignifi- cant compared to that dread of all bak- ers, sour bread. Possibly the vessels in which the bread was made were not thoroughly cleaned after the last using and some undesirable bacteria got into the dough from them or perhaps the yeast contained an undue proportion of these bacteria, or, if the latter were found only in normal quantities, possi- bly the yeast itself was weak and was quickly exhausted. The trouble may be due to the fact that the dough was al- lowed to stand too long after mixing, the yeast ceased working, and the dan- gerous bacteria which grow best in the presence of acetic acid, such as occurs after alcoholic fermentation has ceas- ed, had got the upper hand. If none of these things are at fault, the undesira- ble bacteria may have come from the flour itself. Such cases are fortunately very rare. Many reliable bakers use alum, un- der tbe impression that it does good and not harm; but, besides producing a bread whose nutritive value is not so great as appearances indicate, it is be- lieved to be really injurious to the di- gestive system and must be ranked as an objectionable adulterant. Soda is often used in bread to pre- vent souring. and as it does not lessen the value can hardly be called an adul- terant. It is sometimes necessary. The nutritive value of bread depends not only on its chemical composition, but also on its digestibility, and diges- tibility, in its turn, seems to depend largely on the lightness of the loaf. Rye, barley and oats have less gluten than wheat, and maize has none, and therefore wheat, despite its higher cost, yields the most nutriment for a given sum. it is possible that of the various kiads of wheat flour those containing pats of the bran—entire wheat and gra- lam flours—furnish the body with ELECTRICAL JOTTINGS. more mineral matters than fine white flour, but they probably do not yield more digestible protein, as was for a time supposed. It seems safe to say that, as far as we yet know, for a giv- en amount of money white flour yields the most actual nourishment with the various food ingredients in the best proportion A11 but One Peeped Ia. When a prominent picture dealer of New York starts the topic of woman's curiosity, his wife always laughs and blushes, for she knows the story that is coming. "One day," the picture dealer begins, "I decided to close the small exhibi- tion studio which leads from the gal- lery and put 'Private' on the door just for an experiment. There was an im- portant collection of •rater color, by one of our best artists in the gallery. I sat at the desk just outside the en- trance and presented to each lady a fresh catalogue of the paintings. When she took it, I politely requested her to leave it as she went out. "This request was complied with in every instance, and I was enabled to notice a most interesting series of co- incidences. On every catalogue save one there was in one place or another a little smear of gilding transferred to the paper from the carotully prepared knob of the door marked 'Private.' " When the story had been accepted, with laughter, by his listeners, some- body is sure to ask, "How about the ene catalogue that was undecorated?" To this query the picture dealer has one invariable answer: "It was the catuiogtrp carried by the young woman who afterward became my wife. She told me that the other women turned the knob merely to see If the door was locked, but she knew that sort of gilding rubbed off, and she had on light gloves."—Youth's Com- panion. A Cat's Extraordinary Leap. In the latter part of 1880, at a time when the Washington monument bad reached a height of 160 feet, an adven- turous and patriotic cat ascended the interior of the shaft by means of the ropes and tubing. When the workmen arrived at the upper landing the next morning and began to prepare for the day's work, pussy took fright and, springing to the outer edge; took a "header" of 160 feet to the hard earth below. In the descent, which was watched closely by twoscore of men, the cat spread herself out like a flying squirrel and alighted on all fours. Aft- er turning over on the soil a few times iu a dazed manner she prepared to leave the grounds. She had got almost beyond the shad- ow of the monument when a dog be- longing to one of the workmen pounced upon her and killed her, she, of course, not being in her best running trim after performing such an extraordinary feat. One of the men procured the body of the dead feline, smoothed out her silky coat and turned the remains over to a representative of the Smithsonian in- stitution, who mounted the skin and placed it under a glass case. The label on the case tells this wonderful story in a few words: "This cat on Sept. 23, 1880, jumped from the top of Washing- ton's monument and lived." Abolition of the Decking Stool. The most noteworthy of all the in- struments designed for the correction of Eve's offending daughters was the ducking stool, known as the tumbrel and the trebuchet. A post, across which was a transverse beam turning on a swivel and with a chair at one end, was set up on the edge of a pond. Into the chair the woman was chained, turned toward the water—a muddy or filthy pond was usually chosen for this purpose when available—and ducked half a dozen times, or, if the water in- flamed her instead of acting as a damp- er, she was let down times innumera- ble until she was exhausted and well nigh drowned. From the frequency with which we find it mentioned in old local and conn- ty histories, in church wardens' and chamberlains' accounts and by the po- ets (Gay, for one, has a description of the process in bis third pastoral, "The Shepherd's Week") we shall probably not be wrong in concluding that at one time this institution was kept up all over the country. In Liverpool, ac- cording to The Gentleman's Magazine for 1803, it was not formally abolished until 1776.—London Graphic. Washington's High Prieed Shad. Washington's steward was a man named Fraunces, who liked good liv- ing and with whom Washington con- tinually quarreled about the market- ing. One time he bought a shad in February, and as Washington saw it coming into the dining room he was charmed and asked what fish it was. "It is a shad," replied the steward; "a very fine shad. It was the only one in the market, and I bought it for you." "But what did you pay for it?" said Washington sternly. • "It is a very fine shad," continued the steward, "and it is cooked to a turn." "But 1 want to know the priee—the price!" "It cost $3," stammered out Fraunces. "Take it away," said Washington as he raised his band; "take it away. It shall never be said that I set such an example of luxury and extravagance." And with that he drove the steward out of the room, and the shad was eat- en in the servants' kitchen. Recent Dlseoverles, Inventions, Ete., of laterest to Laymen. By a timely and novel use of Roent- gen rays the treasury department of the Argentine Republic was recently enabled to detect smuggling. It appears that over $1,000,000 is to be expended in establishing over this country electrical sanitariums for the cure of consumption. The recent test of transmittin'* pic- tures electrically by means of the elec- trograph over the police telegraph lines in Cleveland was eminently successful. The British postal telegraph depart- ment recently completed the laying of the underground telegraph cable in place of the overhead wires between London and Birmingham, a distance of 117% miles, the longest underground telegraph cable in the world. Experiments just completed demon- strated the practicability of lighting up Niagara falls by electricity to be gener- ated by the falls. New and powerful apparatus operating seachlights will hereafter enable visitors to see the falls at night. Plans were recently laid before the German government for an extremely high speed electric railway. No actual experimental line has yet been con- structed, but it is proposed to build as a trial a military line intended for a speed of from 125 to 150 miles an hour. A submarine electric are light will soon be experimented with to aid in the sponge fishery off the coast of Flor- ida. At present the sponges are ob- tained only from a comparatively small depth, as the sponge fishers at present can only see to a limited distance by the aid of a water glass, and if this distance could be increased larger areas would immediately be opened up where sponges have been growing un- molested for years. Professor Lucien V. Blake, head of the electrical department of the Uni- versity of Kansas, has been experi- menting for some time on an electrical process by which precious metals may be obtained from ore cheaper than by any process now in use. It is stated that the method has proved satiafac- tory in an experimental way and will shortly be given a trial on a practical scale by a prominent smelting concern. The most successful thieves of elec- tricity in New York are the Chinese. They are said to be absolutely fearless in handling dangerous currents. The Chinese are good customers of the pow- er plants. A large proportion of them use electric lights in their dingy little laundries. A short time ago it was found that the lighting bills of many of them were suddenly reduced more than one-half. It was found that a Chinese tramp electrician was making a business of vlsiting his countrymen and offering to reduce the bills. His methods were extremely simple and effective. All he did was to bridge the meters—that is, run a wire from the feed wire at Its entrance to the exit wire on the other side. A Funeral Trolley Car. Baltimore has a number of fine sub- urban cemeteries, all of which are reached by some division of the street railway lines, and the company found by putting in a few cross overs they could take a car from any part of the city to any one of the burying grounds. It was therefore decided to offer cars for the transportation of funeral par- ties, says The Street Railway Review. The company built a special car well adapted for the purpose. The car is di- vided into two compartments, the smaller of which has running its full length another compartment or vault, in which the casket is carried. A heavy plate glass door hinged to swing down- ward gives access to the vault from the outside. When a casket Is to be placed in the car, the shelf is drawn out, the casket lifted upon it, and the shelf is then pushed back in place. The larger compartment has 12 cross seats in the center aisle, giving a seating capacity for 24. The smaller compartment bas four seats. Heavy black curtains di- vide this section into two private com- partments for the immediate family of the deceased. Floral contributions are piled upon the top of the vault arid can be seen from the street. The car is fin- ished inside and out with black enam= el and nickel plated fixtures. The car has been named Dolores, meaning sorrow, and it is rented at from $20 to $25 for each interment. New Theory of Basel. The phenomena of smell have not been easy to explain. It is commonly supposed that odor arises from contact of the material with the nerves; the substance being more or leas volatile, but this theory is unsatisfactory. Vs- schide and Van Melle, two French in- vestigators, now insist that odor is due Indirectly to ether vibrations of short wave length, analogous but not sim- ilar to the rays of light, radiant beat, etc. In favor of this view much evi- dence is cited, such as that nonvolatile odorous substances do not appear to lose weight or volume; that certain odors are neutralized, like heat and cold, by mixing; that fatigue may take place for a single odor while the sense continues to distinguish others, and that an odor may be perceived when the nostrils are filled with an odorifer- ous solution.—Popular Science. Dickens' Bspressaey. "So this, then, is your husband', new library, Mrs. Mucbroz? Ah, I see he has Dickens and Thackerily side by side. Which do you consider the great- er of the two?'

Joshua paid $2.40 this country in 1797 and were greatly more for them Dickenses than he bad objected to from the belief that the to give for Thackeray's books right at cast iron poisoned the ground and pre- the .same shop."r-Chicago T11mM-Her- vented the plants from growler I aid HOW TO LIVE A CENTURY. L Temperate Climate, Routine Hab- its and Plain Food Are Essentials. The medical authority of the New York Journal, Dr. James J. Walsh, tells In a recent number of that paper how to live 100 years. No question is more interesting to the general public than how life may be prolonged. Of late 100 years has been the term of mortal desires. There is a club of prospective centenarians en- gaged in the serious study of the means beat calculated to enable them to reach their tenth decade of years. The countries that furnish the largest number of centenarians are those in which life is taken the easiest. We have not the statistics for China, or it would surety prove the happy possess- or of the largest number of inhabitants who are veritably very old fogies by having three figures to represent their ages. According to statistics, the greatest number of centenarians to the popula- tion occur in Servia. Of this little country's 2,250,000 inhabitants 575 are more than 100 years old. Servia is ad- mirably situated to foster longevity. Lying between the forty-third and for- ty-fifth parallels of north latitude, it is neither too bot in summer nor too cold In winter. Its winter months especial- ly are equable and not liable to sadden changes. Its industrial and commer- cial condition is not active enough to make its people lose much sleep in bnsiness worry. Its politics are capri- cious, but very few of the inhabitants take interest enough in things political to disturb their digestion over them. Ca the other band, where competition and the struggle for life arouse inten- sity of effort and call for the expendi- ture of vital energy at high pressure centenarians are few. In Germany, with 55,000,000 of people, there are but 78 more than 100 years old, scarcely more than one in a million of popula- tion, while Servia has nearly 300 to each million inhabitants and Ireland about 150 to the million. In Germany the number of living centenarians has constantly decreased during these last 50 years. The ratio of decrease has been about proportionate to Germany's advance in industrial and commercial activity. In France there are 214 centenarians in a population of 40,000,000. In the French country districts life is as slow as It is anywhere in the world, and the people are even slow to die. Paris al- most makes up for this by demanding on an average the sacrifice of about one-fifth of his life from every Inhab- itant. The average length of life is one- fifth less in Paris than in the rest of France. To live 100 years, then, we should live in a mild climate in the temperate zone, where there are not many sudden changes of temperature and especially where it is not very cold in the winter time. .Anxious ambition should be set aside. The intense desire to succeed must be suppressed. A rou- tine life, in which nothing is done to- day that can possibly be put off till to- morrow, must be followed. All sources of worry must be eliminated. Life must be spent mainly out of doors. The food must be plain and not abundant. The game may not be worth the candle, of course, and then, too, you may be struck by an engine or the bacillus of typhoid fever, and that will upset you and your calculations—before the cen- tury is completed. What "Mercerised" Means. Mercerized is a term that is frequent- ly used with reference to various fab- rics nowadays, and, although it repre- sents a process that was invented al- most half a century ago by a French- man named Mercer, it has only come in general use during the last half dec- ade. Cotton is mercerized by being subjected to a bath of caustic soda and sulphur. In order to avoid contraction, as the result of the forming of a soda cellulose, the yarn is stretched by me- chanical means. Through this mercer- izing process the yarn becomes elastic and translucent, more readily absorbs moisture, and is closer and more lus- trous. All the impurities are removed from the fiber, leaving nothing but the clean cotton to be dyed or bleached. Mercerized cotton, it is claimed, takes the dye more readily than the unmer- cerized, and the color obtained is not so easily affected by light or chemical re- agents, while the luster resembles the sheen of silk and is as durable as the fabric itself. Mercerized yarns are now utilized in the manufacture of under- wear, dress fabrics and upholstery ma- terials and are frequently combined with worsted or silk. Ceasing Tubereelosis Congress. A great congress is to be held in London on July 22 of this year on the subject of tuberculosis and the discus- sion of the experiences obtained in vari- ous countries for the cure of consump- tion and the best methods to adopt for its eradication. The congress will last five days, and it will be supported by delegates from all parts of the world, who will advance any informa- tion relative to the subject at their command. The king of England, who has always taken a keen interest in the cure of this malady, will open the con- gress. One of the leading features will be a museum containing a number of pathological and bacteriological instru- ments, charts, models, etc.—Scientific American. Rise of the Dead Sea. A marked rise in the level of the Dead sea has been noted. A broad lagoon has been formed on the north side of the Jordan delta. The water Roes not sink in summer, and it is surmised that the whole bottom of the Dead sea has been raised by volcanic action. Beating as Avalanche. One of the most exciting Alpine ad- rentures on record was' Mr. Tuckett's race with an avalanche on the Eiger glacier in 1871. He was ascending the glacier with two friends and a guide. Says Travel: The glacier sloped somewhat steeply, and on the upper part, above the climb- ers, a mass of loose, freshly fallen snow had collected. Suddenly the trav- elers heard a thundering noise and perceived a huge mass of snow and ice sliding down toward them. They could only try to reach the rocks at the side of the glacier, hoping to do so before the avalanche should sweep them away. Through the knee deep snow they ran for their Nves. "I remember," said Mr. Tuckett, "be- ing struck with the idea that it seemed as 1f the avalanche were sure of its prey and wished to play with us for awhile. At one moment it let us imag- ine that we had gained on it, and the next, with mere ;vuntonness of vindic- tive power, ,t suddenly rolled out a vast volume of grinding blocks and whirling snow, as if e? show us that it could outflank us any moment4tffhose. Nearer and nearer it came, is front a mighty wave about to break. It aim- ed straight at us, swift, deddly, im- placable. The next instant we saw no more. A wild confusion of whirling snow and fragments of ice, a frozen cloud, swept over us, entirely conceal- ing us from one another. But still we were untouched, and still we ran. "Another half second, and the mist parted. There lay the body of the mon- ster, whose head was still careering away at lightning speed far below us, motionless, rigid, harmless." Rather Outspoken. "When a man in the west likes not another," said a British Columbia man, "he is in no way disposed to hide that fact under a bushel basket or to con- ceal it from either the gentleman dis- liked in particular or the rest of the community in general. "I remember an example of this trait that came under my notice some years ago in Idaho. A certain old fellow named Haas ran a paper there, and he and Judge Buck, the judge who ren- dered the celebrated decision in the fa- mous 'Poor Man' Tiger litigation, were sworn enemies. Another old timer named Cheney disliked Haas and Buck and had it in for them both. "One night at Wallace a dinner was given, at which Buck, Haas and Che- ney were present, and at a late stage in the proceedings Cheney was called up- on for a speech. I don't remember the topic he chose or how he brought it in, but when he got through Cheney left in the minds of his hearers no manner of doubt as to how be 4-lt toward the other two. "'Gentlemen; said Cheney as be hung unsteadily to the end of the ta- ble, for the wine had been passing freely, 'old man Haas says Judge Buck is a perjurer and a blackmailer, and Judge Buck says old man Haas is a horse thief and a liar. As both the gentlemen are extremely well acquaint- ed with each other and should know whereof they speak, I do not feel call- ed upon to dispute either statement.' "And then he sat down amid tumul- tuous applause."—New York Tribune. Doing the Glazier a Kindness. A traveling tinker out of work be- moaned his hard luck to a sympathetic glazier. "I'll soon put that right for you," said the glazier. "Just come up to that big hotel over there in half an hour's time, and you'll find work." Accordingly the tinker made his ap- pearance at the appointed time and found himself in great request, as all the good wife's pots and pans had mys- teriously sprung leaks. Needless to say the glazier had slyly operated on them to provide a job for bis acquaintance. Having finished his work, the tinker trudged off, full of gratitude, and soon arrived at a wayside schoolhouse. A happy thought striking him, he de- termined to repay the glazier's kind- ness, and, arming himself with stones, he speedily smasbed every window in the house. Returning. be intimated to his friend the service he had rendered him, but was amazed to see the man of glass become convulsed.with rage. "Great Scott, man," shouted the lat- ter, "you've ruined me!

Teeth Pat to Many Uses. All Eskimos bave good teeth, but they are subjected to severe usage, being used for pinchers, vises • and fluting machines. The teeth are employed in drawing bolts, untying knots, holding the mouthpiece of a drill, shaping boot soles, stretching and tanning skins. When they become uneven from hard usage they are leveled off with a file er wbetstcne. Evasion. "See here, you sir!" cried her father. "Didn't I tell you never to enter my Louse again?" "No, sir, you didn't" replied the per- sistent suitor. "Yon said not to 'cross your threshold; so I climbed in the window."—Exchange. Be Got the Business. "There are tricks even in our trade," said the old life insurance man. "About ten years ago a ,couple of respectable old- parties, men and wife, 'came to town with $100,000 or so that they wanted to put into an annuity. They had neither chick nor child, kith nor kin, and they wanted to finish their lives in as much ease and luxury as could be bought. So they made the rounds of the life insurance companies, getting their annuity figures and had all the actuaries in town making cal- culations in the case. "The head mathematician of the Blank Dash company was a little bet- ter than a mere figurer. He happened to bear what town the old parties came from, and he suddenly remembered that he bad an old friend, a doctor, who lived there, whom he hadn't seen for years. He invited the medicine man down at once, took him out and showed him a real good, decent 'time. Then he edged around to the annuity hunters, and, lo and behold. the doctor was their family physician! Without appearing to pump him, the actuary learned enough about the old couple to enable him to make a most glittering inducement to the pair, and they bought their annuity of his concern. They were both dead Inside' of two years. I forgot just how much the company netted. I think it had paid out about one-tenth of what the old folks had paid in. The company was a gainer, and there were no losers ex- cept the other companies as a result of the actuary's shrewd move." — New York Sun. "Spellbinders. Ways. "Spellbinding" is the happy name given to the platform speaking which plays such an important part in every campaign. The national chairman de- termines who shall be the stars in this department. An ex -president is most in demand, a speaker or an ex -speaker comes next as a rule, and senators and representatives are invited to speak in the order of their usefulness. One speech by an ex -president is worth half a dozen efforts by other men, though they may be more logical and eloquent. The candidate himself, when an ora- tor, will draw greater crowds than any- body else, but if he is wise he will let the national committee arrange his itin- erary and schedule. Headquarters are always overrun with volunteers for the stump; the star, or man with a repo- tation, waits to be invited or urged. Most of the lesser men are laborers for hire, but others are ambitious to make a reputation as a stepping stone to po- litical office, and some are Intensely in earnest and eager to be useful to their party. The national committee settles for the expenses of spellbinders, unless they insist on paying their own way. which is ugusual. Some of the great orators recejve handsome sums for their services and travel in state.— Home Magazine. Senatorial Repartee. Once in the senate chamber John J. Ingalls was directing some remarks to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. The other senator from - that state, Mr. Dawes, having come in while Mr. In- galls was speaking, thought the words were meant for his ear, and so, inter- rupting, be asked Ingalls if he was di- recting the remarks at him. The tall senator turned slowly around, for Mr. Dawes sat behind him, and then, with delicious intonation, but an instant wit, he said, "I was directing my re- marks to the successor of Charles Sum- ner and not to tbe successor of Daniel Webster." The repartee has become traditional, and the utterance was at once placed alongside of that reply of Conkling to Senator Thurman, which is also tra- ditional in the senate chamber. Conkling was speaking, and Thur- man had said, interrupting him, "Does the senator aim his remarks at me; he constantly turns to me?" when Mr. Conkling, with delicious gravity, bowing to Thurman, with whom he was very friendly, said: "When I turn to the senator, I turn as the Mussul- man turns to Mecca; I turn as I would turn to the common law of England— the world's most copious fount of ju- risprudence" When Li Rung Chang Grinned. Once during a dry season in China the viceroy, Earl Li Hung Chang, call- ed on the American minister, Mr. Con- ger, and spoke of the weather. "Yes," said Mr. Conger. "it seems to be dry everywhere. It is dry in my country too. 1 read in one of our pa- pers the other day that in many places in the west the people were praying for rain." "Whatr' said the earl. "Do your peo- ple pray to their God for rain?" "Oh, yes." said the minister, "they often pray for rain." "And does their God send it when they pray for it?' asked the earl "Yes, sometimes their prayers are an- swered, and sometimes they are not" "All the same like Chinese joss, bey?' said the earl. with a grin and a chuckle.

SATURDAY APRIL 13th, 1901. Legislative Notes. The pay 011 of the legislature this year amounts to $130,540.25. The state tax this year will be one and three -tenths mills, the lowest rate on record. The session closed yesterday, but the results will not be definitely known tpitil the publication of the laws. The legislative apportionment to Dakota County for road and bridge construction and repairs is $6,000. The house committee found uo evidence sustaining the charge of bribery alleged by Mr. Jacobson in the railroad gross earnings bill. The bill to detach Chisago, Kana - bee. and Pine counties from the first judicial district was indefinitely post- poned in the house on Wednesday, as it deserved to be. An additional appropriation of $6,000 has been made for the summer schools. and there seems to be no good reason why one should not be held at, Hastings this year. Another muddle in the Younger brothers' parole bill was perpetrated in the house on Tuesday by a recon- sideration and return to the govern- or. and it becomes a law by default. The attorney general is of the opin- ion that the law establishing the board of control does not apply to the university or the normal schools, for the reason that they are not named in the title. Gov. Van Sant refused to permit the introduction of a curative bill, and it is strongly sus- pected that the omission was not altogether accidental. The omnibus bill introduced in the douse on Monday coutains the fol- lowing appropriations for the Hast- ings asylum: For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 1901: laundry. $2,500; cold storage, $1.000: root cellar. $1,000: purchase of live stock. 51.500. For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 1902: maintenance, 528.500; extraordinary repairs and improvements, 8300; com- pleting wing and equipment, 829.000; dairy barn, 52,000: silo, $500; bridge and right of way, $5,000. For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 1903: maintenance, $31,000: new cottage and blacksmith shop, $40,000.

No person is entitled to more than one vote. P. W. Hill, a former resident of Jackson Mimi., left his wife and two children there thirty years ago, went east, obtained a divorce, and remar- ried. His second wife died, leaving •six children, and he married a third time. a divorce following. Last week he returned to Minnesota, courted his first wife, and they were remarried on Tuesday. The annual report of the insurance commissioner shows that the various companies received $657,327.95 in iii miums at St. Paul last year, while 1a their losses were $920,523.90, con- sequently the rates in country towns will have to lie raised again to make up the deficiency. The sewage of the Anoka asylum runs into Rum River about one hundred and twenty-five rods above the intake of their city water works, and the board of health warns the peo- ple against a threatened epidemic of typhoid fever. The matter of holding a summer school here this year should be one of great interest to the teachers of the county, and The Gazette would be glad to hear from them upon the subject. Write briefly and to the poi nt. The receipts of the Winona post - office have passed the $40,000 mark, making it a first class office, and the fourth city in Miunesota arriving at that distinction.

S. Thurber's Sad Fate. With countless friends and acquaint- ances, cquaintances, George S. Thurber died alone and unattended in the Cook Couaty Hospital Tuesday afternoon, and by the rarest of chances escaped being buried in the potters' field. Uncon- scious on his arrival in the city from Florida Monday night, he was sent to the hospital by the railroad author- ities and died the following afternoon while still is an insensible condition. Practically on the same street, and less than fifteen minutes' ride by street car from the hospital where he lay dying, were fully a thousand board of trade members, any one or whom would have been only too wil- ling to render him any aid in his power. After Mr. Thurber's death his body was caried to the morgue as an un- identified and unclaimed person and preparation for his burial made. By chance one of the deputy coroners, to whom the duty fell of holding an in- quest on the remains, proved to be an old friend. Very quickly the steps were taken which gave to his remains the loving attention that had been denied him in his closing hours. His aged parents, who were with him dur- ing his last long months of illness in the south, are now speeding hither from Daytona, Fla., and Chicago friends of the family have taken charge of the remains. Meanwhile his old board of trade associates are hardly yet aware that their former brightest light has passed away, and it will be impos- sible to measure the real grief that will be felt on 'change when Mr. Thurber's untimely taking off is made known. Deputy Coroner Hyland, who made the discovery that his old friend had died unknown, quickly notified the Weare Commission Company, with whom Mr. Thurber was connected before he was obliged by ill health to give up business over a year ago. J. F. Mackenzie, of the Weare Com- pany, immediately- notified the parents at Daytona and his wife at La Crosse, Wis., and had the remains taken to the establishment of Roger- son & Son, on West Madison Street. Mrs. Thurber notified C. O. Goss, of E. A. Cummings & Co., to make all preliminary arrangements, and it is expected that the funeral will be held to -morrow or Saturday at the Roger- son chapel, and that the burial will be at the boyhood home of Mr. Thurber in Hastings, Miuu. Mr. Thurber's parents are expected iu the city to- morrow morning. Though only forty-one years of age Mr. Thurber had been on 'change nearly twenty years. He was a most, loveable character and made friends everywhere. In speaking of hien yes- terday F. G. Loran said: Mr. Thurber was probably the brightest trader that ever entered the wheat pit of the Chicago Board of Trade. He had a wonderful memory and was remarkably quick and accurate. In the wildest sort of markets he would buy'and sell immense quantities of grain in odd lots without taking the time to put up a single trade down on his cards. When the first mo- ment of respite came he would be able to put down each trade accurately with all its details, and if need be back it up with ineon testible testimony.

Since the opening of the pearl but ton factory in this city there has been considerable interest taken in the pro- curiug of shells, and several ' persons will shortly start up the sloughs for the location of the beds. There is a peculiar feature to the clam shell industry that few are aware of, and it is the squatter's right to the beds found. The beds actually belong to the government as much as the river does, but when a man finds a bed of clams he claims them as his, and will protect his interest the same as the m.ner who finds a lead of ore. The loca ion of the bed is kept a secret as much as possible, but if any one should c lance to discover the bed a second time the original owner will come up in a hurry to claim his own. A gentleman was out boat riding last fall, and having nothing else to do went up one of the sloughs to fish. When u 1 the river about four miles from the city he ran across a bed of clams that would be worth several hundred dollars to a person in the bu- siness. He told a friend of his about the claim, and a bargain was struck right there whereby the clams were sold to the other fellow, who will start up the river this week to investigate and arrange to bring the shells to this city and La Crosse. A species of clams that is seldom found in the river at this point is pre- dominant in. the newly located bed. It is the variety that is used to make the so-called knife handle from. The species are hard to find, but in this bed a bushel basket full was picked up in less than an hour. They bring good money, and the owner of the bed is now negotiating with several con- cerns for the disposal of all that he can procure. The gasoline launches will be brought into play this season in towing barges of shells down the river and towing the empties back again. A gas- oline boat can handle one of the shall barges easily, and can run up the sloughs where tt steamboat would not dare go on account of -the shallow water.-WinonaRepublican anelHerald. To Ripe Old Age. On the morning of the 4th lust., at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Dolan, Mrs. Catherine DuShane, surrounded by her aged husband, relatives, and loved ones, quietly passed to the great beyond. Mrs. DuShane was born seventy-four years ago in the county of Roscom- mon, Ireland. When a child she came to this country with her parents, settling in Buffalo, N. Y. When she grew to womanhood, forty-two years ago, she became the wife of Edward DuShane, residing on a farm in Otto wit, Waukesha County, Vis. She labored early and late, not only rais- ing a large family of her own, but adopted Allen T. and Andrew D. Williams, children of her sister when they were left orphans by the sinking of the ill-fated Lady. Elgin. Some thirty years ago she oved to Hast- ings; Minn.; where she had resided up to just one year ago from the day she died;' when with her husband she carne 0) spend the retnainder of her life with her daughter in this city. Mrs. DuShane was a christian lady in all the word implies, and through a long life of labor, trouble, and dis- appointment, such as is only found in the homes of our early pioneers, it was filled with good works and kind deeds in honor of him she loved so well to worship. She died as she lived, believing and trusting in the doctrines of the Catholic Church, fully prepared, anxious and ready to meet the reward promised by the Lord anti God she endeavored to serve so well. The sympathy of the entire cotninunity wherever she dwelled is extended to W: J. Dolan and other relatives. She was buried Sunday, at two p. m., from the Cath- olic Church, and her remains were followed to their Last resting place by her sister, Mrs. Lizzie Brenner, of Buffalo, as well as a number of her relatives and friends. May her soul rest in peace.- Washburn (Wis.) Times, lith. Hastings and Anoka do not enjoy the distinction of being designated the asylum cities, and therefore ask the legislature to change them to hospitals.

He was informed that it was. He then want- ed to know if a man named Walter Gravelle had filed a petition. The answer was in the affirmative. "How much does it cost to go through bank- ruptcy?" he asked. He was toll that the fees were $25. "Well, I' be blanked," thundered the fellow. Ask- ed to explain, the man said that Gra- velle had borrowed $25 of him a short time before the filing, and that un- doubtedly he would make use of the money in paying the courts' expenaes. A glance at the petition showed that Gravelle had included the item, $25, among the liabilities. The visitor bolted out of the office, muttering imprecations. "The idea of a man borrowing $25 for the purpose of go- ing into bankruptcy," he said. "It that ain't the limit, I don't know it." -St. Paul Dispatch. Chimney Rock.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; trine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

On the first day of April, 1901, Charlotte L. Hodgson, one of the old residents of this county and state, passed away. In the ripeness of age, nearing the close of her eighty-sixth year, in the month of resurrections, she laid down the burdens ef life, as she has always borne them, without a murmur. Coming to the state in the early days of its history, she ex- perienced all the privations incident to a frontier life. Her's was indeed a life of toil, but she made it beauti- ful. No duty seemed too onerous, no burden too heavy for her. "She loved the weight she had to bear. Because it needed help of love." Through all the trials of a long life, she found no time for complain- ing. No burden was ever made heavier because of her; no lite was rendered less happy because she lived. No cloud was black enough, no gloom thick enough, to weaken her hopes or dim her cheerfulness. She had so precepts but what she practiced. Her faith in God and in humanity never faltered, but gather- ed strength as the years increased. The world was her friend. She had no occasion to return good for evil, because she had no enemies to love.. Her life was unobtrusive, her wants but few, and when she realized that she was nearing the portals of a more glorious life she said, "When this soul has departed, let this body be clothed in white and borne to it's grave by my own children." That was all. Thus lived, thus died she; thus closed a life as pure and unsel- fish as God has made. The grave has won a victory, but death has left no sting. The following resolutions were adopted by the Philomathean Liter- ary Society of Hamline College: WHaREA$. In his infinite, and unfath- omable wisdom, an overruling Providence has seen fit to take out of the world the father of our beloved lerother. James H. Tucker, therefore be it Resolved. That we, the members of the Philomathean Literary Society, extend to our brother an expression of our heartfelt sympathy for him in this trial, and be it further Resolved. That a copy of these resolu- tious be sent to him; that a copy be sent to his home paper, and that a copy be given to The Oracle for publication. Hymeneal.

Robert Phillips, brother of the bride, and Frank Stires, brother of the groom, acted as best men. The bride was gowned in cream colored crystal silk trimmed in point de espray, lace, and ribbons. She wore a wreath of bride's roses on her fair head, and carried a bouquet of the same beauti- ful flowers in her hand. Miss Rosen and Miss Phillips wore white mous- seline de soie and lace. Following the ceremony a wedding supper was served to about thirty intimate friends, and Wednesday evening, after the Royal Neighbors' meeting, the hall was cleared and a dancing party was given, in honor of the occasion, to about one hundred invited guests. The bride is one of the fairest and loveliest daughters of Dakota County, and the groom was for many years a trusted employe of the Great Western Road in the capacity of station agent and operator at various points on the line, and is a popular and worthy yeung man. They have a host ef friends who wish them unbounded happiness in their journey through life.

Their Greta - uncle. A Story of an Old Man Who Made a Whole Family Happy. BY ADA M. TROTTER "Hough! Heugh!" groaned old Pierre trying to raise himself from the rock on which he rested. Then he looked around and shook his tremulous fist ai the mountain peaks frowning on ev ery side. "So," said he—"so I am at your feet. Once I was your master I have danced upon those beetling brows and scaled those precipitous. heights like a chamois. Ah, I tell yob I was bold and young then! Yot. could not frighten Pierre with you' crashing avalanches. Pierre knew your tricks by heart." Theo muttering maledictions on old age, which brought so many Infirm! ties in its train,., he took up a smah bundle and pursued his journey to the village beside the lake. From the path by which Pierre de- scended and immediately below the steep zigzag was a superb view of the azure lake. The limpid waters lapped the cliffs, blue, so intensely blue. The barks, wing a wing, sped Like eagles across the bay. Pierre's old eyes had lost little of their keenness, and they took in this beauty with infinite joy. "At least I can see," he said proud. ly, "and perhaps I can use my wits no less than I could 40 years ago. Well, now for my affectionate nephews. Let us recapitulate the lesson. What are the names? Ah, I have it! The gos- pels backward. First, John. He should be steady, this John, and doubtless well to do. Luke was a fool—yes! I avoid Luke. Mark—what did he say of Mark? Is it possible my memory begins to fail me? But, no! I re- member all. IIe is the rich one, very rich. Mathieu, a generous rattlepate with a wife and six children and little to feed them with. John and Mark, I send you my very good compliments." A malicious smile hovered round the aged plan's lips as he waved his hand with mock courtesy toward the village, nestling well under shelter of the cliffs down which the zigzag path was lead- ing him. It is possible John and Mark may meet their match in this decrepit figure, for after all it is mind that gov- erns matter. Perhaps some such thought caused the smile in the keen old eyes as Pierre at last found himself in the village street and asked for the house of bis nephew, John Desor. John, a portly, heavy visaged John, stood at his shop door. A cautious man, this John, who did not accept this feeble relative with the manifestation of hospitality. "I suppose I may sit down?" quaver- ed Pierre. "You may sit down," said John's deep bass. Mrs. John sat behind the counter, ready for customers. She made signs to her husband. In her eyes it was easy to read that there was no wel- come. "He had better go to Mark. Mark is so rich, and besides this be has a room and to snare." Pierre was still smiling as be turned to leave the shop. John pointed the way with magnificent courtesy. "The second house on the right. You do well to go to Mark," he said approv- ingly. Mark was a notary. He was busy writing and Looked up, frowning fierce- ly at the interruption. "Disgraceful! One of our blood begging! You al- ways wasted your substance in the past, or you would not be homeless to- day. You can't expect us to support you. We have all we can do to get our own living. Go back to the false friends that counseled you to take this unwise step. But wait! Let me look up the family record. I don't believe yeu are our great-uncle after alL Desor is no uncommon name." The old man, without a word, walked into the street "Pigs, exasperating pigs of peasants!" be said under his breath. "But now what to do?' At least the bench by the well was common property. He crawled there with bis bundle and sat down to rest. Then, in a dreamy, half drowsy con- dition, he watched the women come and go, until at last a loud voice and a boisterous laugh set the echoes call- ing. "Eh, friends, neighbors! Have you seen an old man go past this noon? A feeble old man with a bundle? I want to find him. He's my great-uncle, you must know, homeless and friendless, according to my two most noble broth- ers, John and Mark. What! Here? ''oor old fellow! Tired out and hungry! Why, uncle, bow are you? I'm your grandnephew, Mathieu, at your sere. ice." "So yon are Mathieu?" The old man roused himself with a start and smiled back at the cheery face bent over him. "Aye, and here you have the wife and young ones! Three here and three more at home. Yes, as you see, we are blessed with plenty of mouths to feed and, thanks be to God, a crust for each one and one over for you if you'll take it." As he talked Mathieu lifted the old man in his arms, carried him like a sack of corn to the wagon and tum- bled him in. Every one laughed, Pierre louder than all., "This is what I like," said ne. am cheerful by nature." Then, t show that he was not too old to entertaining, he told fine stories an laughed merrily all the way along. But as the rude wagon jolted up th mountain side to the tiny chalet wher Mathieu made his poor living, the of man became silent, casting his kee eyes back and forth with comprehen sive glances. Ah, Pierre bad his wit about bum, wits enough to stock M thleu, his wife and six children an leave plenty over for the eld brothers. "So you are very poor, Mathieu? said he as he took his survey from th chalet door. Mathieu's rosy face clouded as h looked within and nodded. Everythin was clean, for his wife was thrifty but poverty was written on every hand even in the faces of his six children who needed more plentiful and mor nourishing food. "Mathieu," called the wife, "com thou and make the uncle a bed. A least we have sweet hay up here." The old man's keen glances from th chalet door lighted into sudden flam as his eyes rested on the bare roc forming part of Mathieu's possessions Then he chuckled as if some happ idea had occurred to him. Mathieu' wife, Marie, laughed too. "He will be cheerful company," sal she to her husband. Next morning they all rose at day break, for Mathieu worked in a neigh bor's vineyard in the valley below. "So, Mathieu! That rock belongs t you?" "That shelving rocky slope, uncle Yes; it fell to my lot. Well, one mus not speak ill of one's own blood, bu the others took care of themselves This was good enough for rattle pate Mathieu." He laughed, but rubbed his head rue fully. "Good enough!" cried the old man in an excited tone. "Good enough!" As Mathieu strode away to his work the remembrance of that "good enough" rang in his ears. He though that perhaps the old man had lost hi mind. Meantime the keen sighted old fellow was sitting in the doorway chile kling with amusement that his grand nephew should be going away to work as a hired man in his neighbor's vine yard. "Marie," he cried, "Marie, come here I love thee, child, thee and thine, yet I tell thee this kind Mathieu of ours lacks wits." "Wits!" shouted indignant Marie. "Aye, wits!" shrieked back the excit- ed old man. "Now, child," he went on more quietly, "listen. Be guided by me. You and I and our six children here, we will make a fortune for Ma- thieu right under his nose." Here the old man pointed to Ma- thieu's field, a mere slanting rocky ledge, over which the goats climbed to browse on the sweet grass that sprung here and there from interstices and which now lay basking In the sun. "There is our vineyard, my good Ma- rie"— "Make a vineyard there, uncle! But where is the earth?" The old man laughed. He pointed to the gorge, through which the moun- tain torrent rushed to the lake. "Ah," cried Marie, afire with the idea, "I see, I see! I and the six chil- dren"— "And the old uncle," he put in. "We shall make Mathieu a vineyard." The children, brought up to carry the hotte (basket) on their backs and weights on their heads, began to yell with delight at their part of the work. Away they raced to the gorge, followed by the uncle and the vigorous Marie. When Mathieu returned that even- ing, he stared and rubbed his eyes. Several yards of the rock were covered with earth, and the old man was build - ng a wall at the bottom of the field. "What does this mean?" cried be, a broad grin widening his rosy cheeks. "It means," cried Pierre, "that my wits shall so direct thy strong body hat ere I die I shall set thee at work n thine own vineyard!" The idea once suggested approved tsei.f to Mathieu as an experienced worker in a vineyard. "But," thought be as he rubbed his eyes and looked bout him, "why did I never think of his for myself?" He barely waited to swallow his oup, so eager was he to plant foot on is own vineyard. "Keep your own counsel," said the Id man. "Go forth as usual t0 thy work and leave us here to carry up he earth. Every hour will add to the ile. By autumn you shall plant the Ines." Ah, how cheerfully all worked! And nmoonlight nights did Mathieu go to ed at all? The rich earth, carried rom the glacier above by the resistless orce of the torrent, lay bere in the orge ready for the laborer. "Only one more load," would Ma - bleu cry as Marie called to him. 'Surely thou wilt not grumble that i o this once again?' Who more gay than Marie as she oiled up the steep path of the ravine with the hotte on her back? "I brought my Mathieu no portion, otbing but my own hardworking ands," said she, "and how he has laved to earn us bread, this good Ma - bleu!" "All very well, but he has naught to complaia of in his wife," said the beery old man. "You have brought rim luck, you and the children." By this time the miracle was accom- lished. The slanting rock was cover - d with the greenery of vines and rge, ltle4'bus grapes caught the earli- st and the latest rays of the sun. "So," cried he gayly, "not a trace of he blight that afflicts our friends in he valley! Up here at least we have God's air pure. His blessings, too, will e with thee, my children, who of your mall substance took in a homeless retch in his old age." "Why, good uncle, we took in our ood fortune with thee!" shouted Ma - feu heartily. "Aye, aye! My wits are worth sorpe- hing, I know," nodded Pierre slyly. But now, good Mathieu, 1 make thee ether confessor. I am no uncle of bine. In truth I have no kin. In my outh I met your grandfather and per- aps saved him from a cruel death. He ade me promise to call upon him in se of need. He is dead. The service rendered lies buried in his grave. Blood Is thicker thanan_waiter,'. bald I to thyself. 'I'll'ci 1 on his grandchildren. I'll be their uncle.' " "Oho, oho!" laughed Mathieu. "And you think, then, that Marie and I do not know that we have no great-uncle? Has not Mark the record written clear as print! But lit's all one to us, and better, too, for none of our blood ever boasted any brains." Here the children laughed. Marie kissed the old man affectionately. "The good uncle has brought us luck, and"— "Fame!" said Pierre proudly. "Ma- thieu, grapes like these were never yet seen in this canton, and that I can tell you." So said the honorable judges appoint- ed to visit the vineyards and report upon the condition of the grapes. They came up from the valley in grand pro- cession, two and two. "What, a vineyard on that old rock!" cried Mathieu's brothers, who had been invited to be present. Pierre stood at the vineyard gate. His wrinkled old face had its rosy hue still, his keen eyes twinkled, and with a lordly air he bowed to the judges and threw back the gate. "Enter," said he, waving his hand in welcome. Then he swaggered up and down, showing the finest bunches. "Here," said hearty Mathieu, seizing the old man and turning him to the judges, "behold the brains of the vine- yard!" ine- yand!" "And here," cried Pierre, "are the faithful workers!" 1 -Ie darted to the bushes, behind which Marie stood blushing and the children were gath- ered, curiously peeping between the vine leaves at the strangers. It was a goodly sight. How Mathieu talked and laughed and the brothers glom -lied behind the ranks of the judges! "He will be the rich man of the fam- ily, the rattlepate, after all!" cried Mark, with a vicious look at the cheery old man of busy brain who headed the procession round the vineyard. They had to bear that Mathieu was adjudged the prize for a well kept vineyard, that his grapes excelled any yet grown in the canton and that he must wear the crown at the fete next week. "Not I!" shouted Mathieu. "If any of us be crowned, it must be uncle, there." The judges laughed. But Mathieu had his way, and the happy old man, with Mathieu's youngest child on his knee, was carried iu procession through the village which a few years before he had entered friendless and home- ; ess. His eyes were uplifted to the snowy peaks. His thoughts sped back to the days of his youth, such a dream now, so long ago. Was it indeed his own foot that had scaled the precipices? "Uncle, uncle," cried Mathieu at his side, "the people are shouting in thy honor! Bow to them; they expect so much of thee." Clapping Rands as a Salute. Among the Uvinza "when two 'gran- dees' meet the junior leans forward, bends his kuees and places the palms of his hands ou the ground on each side of his feet, while the senior claps his own hands sin or seven times. They then change round. and the junior slaps himself first under the left armpit and then under the right. But when a `swell' ineets an Inferior the superior only claps his hands and does not fully return the salutation by following the motions of the one who first salutes. On two commoners meet- ing they pat their stomachs, then clap hands at each other and finally shake bands. These greetings are observed to an unlimited extent, and the sound of patting and clapping is almost un- ceasing." Serpa Pinto found this ceremonial clapping in violent exercise among the A.mbuellas. Paul du Chaillu reported the salute of the Ishogosto be clapping the hands together and stretching them out alternately several times. Among the Walunga in the morning on every side a continuous clapping of hands goes on, with the accompani- ment of "Kwi-tata, kwi-tata?" which is their mode of saying "How d'ye do?" if a chief passes, they drop on their knees, bow their heads to the ground, clap vigorously and humbly mutter, "Bwi-tats, kwi-tata?" The clapping distinguishes the ceremony from that of mere prostration. A Haughty Barber, It was a barber who had long served on the cracks of an Atlantic liner whose saloon was visited by one of the owners. The indications of the gen- eral notion trade done by this barber t, ere set out with a skill that would have put an Oxford street window dresser to the blush. "I don't quite like this," said the owner. "This is a ship, not a store," and then jokingly added, "I think I shall have to make a change." "I wouldn't do that if I were you," retorted the barber.

Every ;fisherman, says The Salentine American, knows how difficult it is to keep minnows alive. If the fish are kept in a pail, the water must be con- stantly changed to furnish a new sup- ply of oxygen. The difficulty thus pre- aeeted of feeding sufficient oxygen to enable the fish to live not only for (lours, but for days, has been very in- geniously overcome in a receit inven- tion. This is a pail which is provided with an air chamber in its bottom and with a hand pump secured to the side. The A NOVEL LIVE BAIT PAIL. lower end of the pump cylinder com- municates with the air chamber by measis of a pipe, and the air chamber communicates with the body of the pail by means of a flexibl3 pipe. The pail having been filled with water and the minnows placed therein, the band pump is operated to fill the air cham- ber with compressed air. Such is the pressure that the air is spontaneously supplied to the fish in the water through the flexible pipe. It is neces- sary to pump fresh air into the cham- ber only at very long intervals, for the construction of the flexible pipe is such that the air is very gradually dis- charged. The inventor assures us that he has subjected his device to mast severe tests. Forty fish, among them min- nows so delicate that they cannot ordi- narily be kept alive for more than ten hours, were placed in the pall and sup- plied with air in the manner described. So efficient was the apparatus that aft- er 12 days the fish were all alive, al- though the water had not been chang- ed during the interval and had become very foul. When the supply of air was at that time cut off, the fish came gasp- ing for oxygen to the surface. The same minnows could not be kept alive in the same amount of fresh water for more than 14 or 15 hours. Vegetables as Medicines. As most people are aware, vegeta- bles possess various medicinal quali- ties. Here are some worth bearing in mind: Asparagus is very cooling and easily digested. Cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli are cool- ing, nutritive, laxative and purifying to the blood and also act as tonics, but should not be eaten too freely by deli- cate persons. Celery is good for rheu- matic- and gouty persons. Lettuces are very wholesome. They are slight- ly narcotic and lull and calm the mind. Spinach is particularly good for rheu- matism and gout and also in kidney diseases. Onions are good for chest ailments and colds, but do not agree with all. Water cresses are excellent tonics and cooling. Beet root is very cooling and highly nutritious, owing to the amount of sugar it contains. Parsley Is cooling and purifying. Po- tatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips and artichokes are highly nutritious, but not so digestible as some vegetables. Potatoes are the most nourishing and are fattening for nervous persons. To- matoes are health giving and purify- ing, either eaten raw or cooked. Chili, cayenne, horse radish and mustard should be used sparingly. They give a zest to the appetite and are valuable stomachics. Radishes are the same, but are indigestible and should not be eaten by delicate people.—London Ex- press. Does Marriage Prolong Life? A German doctor named Priming has been at great pains to prove in the Algemeines Statisches Archie that marriage is conducive to long life in man. Commenting on Dr. Prinzing's theory, the Boersen Zeitung says: "The most Important reason for the claim that marital life diminishes mor- tality is the fact that there is greater mortality among the husbands and wives who have lost their consorts than among those who are still mar- ried. "It has been ascertained that sui- cide is more frequent among the un- married than among the married. Among men suicide is most frequent among the unmarried, less so among widowers and very much less so among the married. Among women suicide most seldom occurs among those who are married and more fre- quent among widows of almost all ages than among the unmarried. The Minister Won. A minister was one day walking along a road, and, to his astonishment, he saw a crowd of boys sitting In front of a ring with a small dog in the cen- ter. When lie came up to them, he put the following question: "What are you doing to the dog?" One little boy said, "Whoever tells the biggest lie wins it." "Oh," said the minister, "I am sur- prised at you little boys, for when I was like you I never told a lie." There was silence for awhile until one of the boys shouted, "Hand him up the dog!"—London Leader. Over in Sweden.

THE HOTELCHECK PROBLEM A Question of Whether to Offend Guests or Risk Losing Money. The hotel clerk was standing behind the desk, with a disconsolate look on his face. "What's the matter?" asked a friend. "Matter?" said the clerk. "Why, it's the same old story. I've been stuck for another check. This check business causes us hotel clerks more trouble than anything else in the world. There is a general rule in hotels that no checks shall be cashed, but very often travelers run short of money. It is good business policy to cash these checks when you can be sure that they're all right. No hotel can afford to be continually offending guests. At the same time, if a clerk cashes a bad check he has to stand the loss. "The average hotel clerk has learned by bitter experience to be a pretty good judge of human nature, but every now and then he slips up. Only a week ago a big, splendid looking fellow came to me and got me to cash a check for $20. I sized him up and decided that be was all right and that he was a good man to keep among the steady patrons of the hotel. A few days later back came the check, with 'No funds' marked across it. The result was that I was out $20." While the clerk was talking a swag- ger looking woman came up to the desk and, smiling sweetly at the clerk, said: "Will you please cash this little check?" The clerk was all graciousness. He took the check and examined it care- fully without saying anything. "Oh, it's all right," said the woman, "Of course, If you don't want to cash it you needn't. Mr. So-and-so knows me quite well, and you can telephone him about it if you want to, but it would save me a great deal of trouble if you could cash it for me now." "Certainly, madam," cold the clerk, and then he went over and held a con- sultation with the cashier. They decided that the woman was a good investment and gave her the mon- gy. She went away smiling, and then the clerk said: "Now, there is just about an even money chance. If I hadn't cashed that check, she would have been highly in- sulted and would have talked about this hotel as long as she could remem- ber. If she is all right, she will be a good customer, but if she isn't I am out another $25."—New York Sun. Lite Saving Politeness. Patriotism and politeness are great virtues, and a Japanese physician, Dr. Aoyama, owes his life to the fact that he possessed them both in high degree. He had caught the plague and was dying for the need of the food which, in his delirium, be refused to take. His nurse was in despair, but finally conceived the idea of playing upon his patriotism by filling a glass with liquid nourishment and then offering to drink to the health of the mikado. This was repeated until, ardent patriot as he was, the doctor felt that he had honored Ills sovereign enough. Then his politeness was appealed to, the nurse proposing a toast and re- proaching the sick man for not joining in it. In this way the patient's strength was maintained until tiie delirium sub- sided and he became convalescent,— Youth's Companion. Huxley and the Clergyman. A rash clergyman once, without fur- ther equipment in natural history than some desultory reading, attacked the Darwinian theory in some sundry mag- azine articles in which he made him- self uncommonly merry at Huxley's expense. This was intended to draw the great man's fire, and as the batter- ies remained silent the author proceed- ed to write to Huxley, calling his at- tention to the articles and at the same time, with mock modesty, asking ad- vice as to the further study of these deep questions.

The methods of compelling Mother Earth to disgorge her hidden stores of wealth, be it in the forte of diamonds, gold or silver mistier or coal, appear to be mud the mouse everywhere. You first find your urii:cs your reef cr (eater of blue clay ant it is at Kimberley. and i:ten you bore a bele down into it, which you call a shaft. Sometimes, as at Kimberley, you can begin at the top, but sooner or later you have to resort to burrowing laterally or perpe.:dieu- larly. Then "the tiring you are in search of" is wound up on a pulley over tt wheel. The blue clay is found in circular pits (once craters filled up from an un- known depth; they have not touched I bottom at 2,000 feet). The inclosing walls are basalt, and th et a layer of shale is superposed. In the open or through shafts the clay is blasted and carried on trucks by endless wires to the "floors." The tram runs on double lines, one set of trucks carrying the clay, the other returning empty. The "floors" constieute one of the most in- teresting features of the place. The earth which contains the diamonds be- comes very friable when exposed to the sun and air and crumbles like loam. The harder rock, consolidated under tremendous pressure, has to be pulver- ized by crushing. Thousands of acres are inclosed by barbed wire fences, a much disguised blessing in South Afri- ca, and there, hidden in the moldering earth, are hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of precious stones. Some of course become detached and are picked up by the "boys" and generally accounted for, though, in spite of the necessarily stringent laws, it is difficult to believe that none fails to reach the sorting house. When sunshine and atmosphere have done their work, the decomposed clay is taken back from the floors and com- mifted to the pulsators. The matter is shot into receivers and passes down to the pulsator, a graduated plane of metal, which, as the name implies, is shaken by machinery laterally, as a man shakes a sieve in his hand. The different steps of the pulsator are cov- ered with grease, to which the dia- monds — at least all of any size — ad- here as the broken clay rushes over, mingled with a stream of water. The top step generally manages to catch the larger stones, and very few es- cape to the lowest grade. The refuse, however, is all carefully hand sorted by natives, whose natural quickness . of eye and deftness of finger `have been Improved by long practice. Many of the hands so employed are convicts hired by the government to the com- pany. These victims of civilization— most of them are guileless of any crim- inal appearance—much prefer this work to the dull monotony of prison labor. The sight of these convicts en- gaged in sorting out minute gems from the dross might suggest many reflec- tions. The contrast is the most strik- ing—at one end of the scale diamonds, representing the highest luxury of civilization, at the other the native to whom European culture means the magistrate and the politician. How- ever, if the native criminal moralizes— which I am sure that, as a rule, he is far too sensible to do—he can chuckle at the idea that each stone he extracts may easily prove an Incentive to his fellows on a higher plane to go and do likewise. The sticky matter, holding little but the gems, is thoroughly washed out, and the deposit is ready for the sorter. Diamonds are by no means unlovely in their uncut condition, and there is no mistaking the slightly greasy feeling of the real gem, due, I am told, to its incomparable hardness. The stones are then inspected and weighed and are ticketed according to their value in little heaps on a counter in a sorting room. Thus the first heap of a week's "clean up" will contain perhaps a dozen large diamonds, perfect in shape and color without a flaw. They may be of any value from $1,000 to $10,- 000. Then come smaller ones of the same spotless character; next in value are the large yellowstones, then the flawed whites, and so on down to heaps of tiny gems like coarse sugar, white and brown.—London Telegraph. HOW MANY OF THEM, WITH THEIR MEANINeS, DO YOU KNOW? The Great Jeal of Cie United States Was Des,soed by an E:uglis:,utso. Who Also Suggested the Motto Adopted. u&t Pluribus Daum. - If you desire to have fun with a learned acquaintance, ask him simple questious about his country, its histo- ry. financial condition, political divi- sions. geographical lines, cl tuatology, topography, etc. Questions that any schoolboy can answer Dr. Iinowali will stumble clumsily over, often getting a bad fall. There is one question that 1 have never heard any one answer— namely, "What. are the mottoes of the several states of the Union and their Meaning?" A clever man may name that of his own state and guess at those of three or four of the wore im- portant sister states, but he is unlikely to know the meanings of any that are in the original Latin. Try some able professor in a crowd and see him floun- der. Ask the professor if he knows that the great seal of the United States was designed by an Englishman, Sir John Prestwich, who also suggested the mot- to, "E Pluribus Unum?" Out ablest men had failed to propose anything ac- ceptable, Franklin, Jefferson. Adams, Lovell, Scott, Houston and others wast- ing nearly four years on the task. Franklin proposed Moses dividing the Red sea with this motto, "Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God;" Adams proposed the choice of Hercules and. Jefferson the children of Israel in the wilderness. 'Doesn't it seem funny? Some of the suggested mottoes were "Bello vel Pace" (For War or I'eace), "Semper" (Forever), "Deo Favente" (With God's Favor), "Virtus Sola In victa" (Virtue Alone Invincible), etc. After six years the EnglIshman's de- vice was adopted, and it yet remains the arms of the United States. If the professor is familiar with the obverse of the great seal, ask him what he has to say of the reverse, and the chances are 100 to 1 that he can- not recollect the unfinished pyramid, the eye in the triangle, the glory prop- er, the motto over the eye, "Annult Cmptis" (God Has Favored the Under- taking), and that under all, "Novus Ordo Seculorum" (A New Series of Ages). The obverse of the great seal, with its splendid eagle. the bundle of arrows, the olive branch, the 13 stripes, the 13 stars, the glory breaking from the'tlouds and the "E Pluribus Unum," is magnificently American, but the pyramid, the desert, the forbidding Egyptian sky and the eye in the ,tri- angle on the reverse are simply bar- barous. The great seal of the Confederacy by a strange arbitrament of fate was never used. It was made in England and reacbed Richmond about the time of its evacuation by the armies of the lost cause and the Confederate gov- ernment. Its motto was "Deo Vindice"c (God Maintains). The seal is a hand- some silver die about three inches in diameter, hearing au equestrian por- trait of Washington (after the statue in Richmond). surrouuded with a wreath composed of cotton, tobacco sugar cane. corn. wheat and rice—the principal products of the Confederate states. It cost in England about $600, with press. wafers. seal papers, wax, silk cords. etc. It was presented to the state of South Carolina about 1887 and is kept to the office .of the secretary of state. Ask the professor If he remembers tharMinnesota. founded by Americans, Is the only state In the Union that has a French motto. The one originally se- lected and ordered engraved was Latin. but the die was spoiled and the French substitute was adopted. "L'Etoile du Nord" (The Star of the North). Does the professor recall that Montana is the only state with a Spanish motto? Strange that fur traders should have adopted "Oro y Plata" (Gold and Sil- ver). If you say that one state has a Greek motto, lie probably will do some pretty hard thinking before answering that it Is California. "Eureka" is be- lieved to be Greek for "I have found." The only Italian motto belongs to ,Ma- ryla nd. and it originally belonged to the Calvert family, "Patti Maschi, Parole Femini" (Deeds Are Males, Words Females). To be a trifle plainer, "Man- ly Deeds, Woman!;- Words." Ask the professor if he knows that Washington is the only state with an Indian motto. "Al -Ki" is pure Chinook for by and by. In the future or hereafter.—Exchange. Nobody Paid Her Fare. A young woman got aboard a West Broad street car and discovered, to her humiliation, that her fare was missing when the conductor called. In a gruff manner the custodian of the car said he'd have to get the fare at once or the woman would have to walk. This dec- laration added to her embarrassment. The car was crowded. On her right sat a genial Irishman and on her left a well known bookkeeper. The book- keeper and Irishmau exchanged sever- al meaning glances. The conductor was about to pull the bell rope. The book- keeper said he'd pay the fare as the young woman looked perfectly honest. The conductor repeated, that he'd put the woman off. This aroused the Irish- man, who said, "If you put the woman off, your funeral'il be tomorrow." See- ing a slight nervousness on the part of the conductor, he continued: "How many people on this car want to attend the funeral of this conduct- or?" Several answered in the affirma- tive. The conductor grew excited and in the altercation that followed walked to the platform without securing the woman's fare.—Columbus Dispatch. Marshall on the Bench. Of Marshall's appearance on the bench we have a picture in one of Sto- ry's letters from Washington, while he was at the lar, says James Bradley Thayer in The Atlantic. He is writing in 1808, the year after the Burr trial. "Marshall," he says, "is of a tall, slen- der figure. not graceful or imposing, but erect and steady. His hair is black, his eyes small and twinkling, his fore- head rather low, but his features are in general harmonious. His manners are plain, yet dignified, and an unaf- fected modesty diffuses itself through all his actions. His dress is very sim- ple, yet neat, his language chaste, but hardly elegant. It does not flow rap- idly, but it seldom wants precision. In conversation he is quite familiar, but is occasionally embarrassed by a hesi- tancy and drawling. I love his laugh— It is too hearty for an intriguer—and his good temper and unwearied pa- tience are equally agreeable on the bench and in the study." Iowa almost from the date of Its admission has been called the Hawk - eye State. Hawkeye was the name of a noted Indian chief, who in the early days calmed no little trouble along the western border of American civilisa- tion. It is asserted that the idea of the plpe organ was borrowed from the human chest, mouth and larnyx.

The bell in the private office rang three times, and the man at the desk hastily reached for a flannel bandage, which he put around his neck. Then he arranged a sling in which to put one arm, mussed up his hair, drew down the corners of his mouth, got out of his chair and painfully limped toward the door. "Mr. Smithkins?" inquired the well dressed man who opened it just at that moment. The man with the bandage gave a half suppressed groan and answered: "Yes; that's my name. What can I do for you?" "You seem to be suffering," suggest- ed the caller. "Suffering!" returned the other. "Do you think I'm doing this for fun? Do you suppose I bandage my throat for amusement, tie up my arm for sport and limp because I think it's graceful? And I've been in this way for six months. But what can I do for you?" "Pardon me," said the caller, back- ing out. "I'll call again some other time." "It's some trouble," soliloquized the man with the bandage as he removed the harness and returned to his desk, "but experience has taught me that it is really the quickest way to discour- age a life insurance agent and keep him discouraged. That fellow never will come back."—Chicago Post. Appendicitis. "Appendicitis," said Dr. Abbe in an address before the New York Academy of Medicine, "has few rivals in the sur- gical field and takes rank today with typhoid, pneumonia and rheumatism in medical thought. Surely when the ac- tive surgeon of today can number 100 operations for diseased appendices yearly—and there are a dozen such men in New York and in other cities in the same proportion—we begin to grasp the importance of the subject and its men- ace to the community. "The public continues to ask the phy- sician what was appendicitis formerly, and he answers, `Probably it passed under the description of "inflammation of the bowels" or "peritonitis." ' It is true that less than a generation ago numberless people in the course of summer travel were stricken with so called inflammation of the bowels or peritonitis and died. "Now we hear of no one so reported, but it is said, 'He had an attack of ap- pendicitis, was beyond the reach of a surgeon and died,' or, `So-and-so had an attack of appendicitis, was operated upon and recovered.' Hospital statis- tics show the same changes of tabulat- ed diseases. It is merely a new name, not a new disease." Capers. Those curious little appetizers, capers, without which the boiled leg of mutton is incomplete, are cultivated largely in southern France, especially Lavoy, but many come to us from the Balearic islands, in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain, where they! grow wild. The vines clamber over the rock is a very beautiful manner, . and the berry, which is the seed vessel of the plant, is gathered by the peas- antry. Capers are publicly sold in the market places of Balearic towns and shipped to Spanish or Freneh ports for exportation. He Had Molted. ' "That fellow is a bird," said the ad- miring stranger as he looked after the fresh young man. "Not now," replied the native, "but there was a time when your descrip- tion might have been justified." . "When was that?" "The night we tarred and feathered him about a year ago."—Chicago Post. Olives. The olive tree in its wild state is a thorny shrub or small tree, but when cultivated becomes a tree 20 to 40 feet high, with no thorns. It lives to a good age. The leaves resemble those of a willow, the flowers are small and white and grow in clusters as $rapes do, and the fruit is greenish, whitish, violet or even black in color and generally oval in shape. It is produced in great profusion, so that an old olive tree be, comes very valuable to its owner. Among - the- t,lreektlt=-the olive was sacred to Minerva. the goddess of wis- dom. It was also the emblem of pu•', rity. A crown of olive twigs was the highest bon.'r that could be bestowed upon a Greet: citizen. An olive branch was also the symbol of peace, and the vanquished who came to beg for peace bore olive branches in their bands. , The American olive is remarkable for the hardness of its wood. It is found as far north as Virginia. Its fruit is fit for use. and its flowers are fragrant. The fragrant olive of China and Ja- pan has extremely fragrant flowers, which are used for flavoring tea. Polite Erie Commuters. A stranger who had an appointment to meet a friend in the Chambers street ferry house, which is used by Erie commuters, was greatly puzzled the other afternoon by the actions of the men who passed the ticket taker's win- dow. Nearly three-fourths of them took their hats off to the ticket taker in the most polite style. The stranger thought that possibly the ticket taker's wife was in the box . with bim, and he went back to look again. There was no one in the box save the ticket taker, who looked good natured, but not imposing. When his friend arrived, the stranger said: "Is that the president of the Erie road in that box?" "Certainly not. Why do you ask such a question?" "Why, every man who passes him takes his bat off, gives him a marching salute and walks on." The friend smiled pityingly at the stranger's ignorance and said it was a trick of the Erie commuterseto carry their tickets in the crown of their bats. They took their bats off so that the agent might see the ticket. New York i Sun. A Historic Throne. The—biggest episcopal throne in Eu- rope is at the Exeter cathedral. Com- posed of the very best oak. with mag- nificent carving executed by the most expert designers of the day, the throne soars upward in beautiful tapering pin- nacles, which rise up to the lofty roof of the sacred edifice. The throne is not only the biggest, but one of the oldest. It was saved from destruction by the Puritans by the ingenuity of the Cavaliers, who when the Roundheads marched on Exeter pulled down the throne and divided it into 305 pieces, one for every day of the year. The pieces were safely secured in many hiding places, and when peace was re- stored the pieces were put together again without the aid of a single nail. Corea. "No," said the man fa the mackin- tooth, "my wife doesn't give away any of my old clothes or sell them to the ragman any more. I cured that habit effectually once." "How was that?" they asked him. "When I found that she had disposed of a coat 1 hadn't worn for several weeks, I told her there was a letter in it she had given me to mail the last time I had it on. And that was no lie either," be added with deep satis- faction. --Chicago Tribune. Marshall's Absentmindedness. One day .lodge Marshall, engrossed In bit reflections, was driving over the wretched roads of North Carolina on his way to Raleigh in a stick gig. Ilis horse turned out of the road, and the sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted so as to arouse the judge. When he found that he could move neither to right nor left, an old negro, who had come along, solved the difficulty. "My old marster," he asked, "wha, fer you don't back your horsey'. "That's true," said the judge, and he acted as advised. Thanking his deliv- erer heartily, he felt In his pocket for some change, but he did not have any. "Never mind, old man," be said. "I shall stop at the tavern and leave some money for you with the landlord." The old negro was not impressed with the stranger, but be called at the tavern and asked the keeper if an old gentleman had left anything there for him. "Oh, yes," said the landlord, "he left a silver dollar for you. What do you think of that old gentleman?" The negro gazed at the dollar and said: "IIe was a gem'man, for sho', but"— patting his forehead—"he didn't have mucic in here."—World's Work: Tough Old English Statesmen. In'Macanlay's day English statesmen were of a hardier and more robust type than the present race of poli- ticians. They seem to have had cast iron nerves and appetites and diges- tions to match. They dined off a huge beefsteak and a bottle of port, while their grandsons are content with cutlet and a lemon squash. And yet they liv- ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord Brougham at the age of 70 "drinking two bottles of port at dinner, going to bed upon half a bottle of peat reek (whisky) and turning out at daylight to shoot teal;" and Lord Lyndhurst at the age of 90 "supping off hot boiled lobster and champagne." Mr. Kinnear, an old parliamentary hand, tells us that he remembers see- ing "Mr. Disraeli drinking, as the pre- lude to a big speech, a pint of port wine at the buffet in the commons lobby, dressed in a green coat, a buff waistcoat and snuff colored trousers?' This seems a modest potation under the circumstances, but Mr. Kinnear adds that Disraeli came back and had another pint later on.—Blackwood's. A the call Tlre'Wrong Laddle. gentleman on a walk from one of suburbs of Glasgow happened to at a farmhouse, where he was readily supplied with a glass of milk. He offered the woman sixpence, but she declined all payment. "I couldn' tak' money for 't," she said in her own proud way. The gentleman expressed his ac- knowledgment and went on his way, but at the garden gate he detected a small boy playing. Surely, he thought, this is the lady's son. So he put his hand in his pocket to give him the six- pence, when he heard a shrill voice. "That's na ma laddie, sir." Then there was a pause, and the voice afterward resounded, this time directed toward a small boy at the side door, "Gang oot, Wullie, an speak till the nice gentl"-- man at the gate!"—Liverpool Post. Discovery of New Ether. Dr. John A. Cooke, professor of chemistry in Morningside college, Sioux City, Ia., announced recently i the discovery of a new kind of ether, 1 which chemists to whom it has been !Submitted declare will prove of great- er practical value than that ordinarily used. Its specific gravity is lower, and its color is orange yellow. It has been found very effective in surgery. , First Horse la Central Airless In "A White Woman In Central Af- Pica" Miss Caddlck gives an interesting account of the first horse which had survived the attacks of the tsetse fly on the journey from Durban to Mlanje. 1'hi:, lucky or luckless animal had an adventure on the way which carne near ending its history, if not its life. j The horse was lauded safely at Chi - romp. but one evening while the party was iu camp something frightened it. and it broke away, with the saddle on its back. The boys followed it in vain and at last gave it up as lost and went on to Mlanje. From there natives were seut out in all directions to search for the lost horse. It was quite two weeks before the animal was found, tired out. very hun- gry and still very mucic frightened. Its saddle was still on, but turned under- neath its body. It was the first horse the natives had seen, and they gazed at it awestruck, not daring to touch it, nor even to go near it. Finally they gave the animal a great heap of native corn, and while it was eating they hastily put a fence around It, which they made very high and strong. They then built a roof to shelter the horse from the sun and sent off for the owner to come quickly. It was a long time before the poor beast got over the fright and the fa- tigue and the sore places caused by the saddle, but it did recover at last and be- came the joy and pride of its owner. Tougher Than Leather. In New York the other day a typi- cal street fakir was selling boxes of shoe polish. At the top of his voice he was telling the virtues of the com- pound. "All you have to do, gents," he said, "is tb put it on, and your boots will shine like patent leather. You don't have to rub it, and it will pre- serve the leather and make it water- proof. It costs but a nickel, a half a dime, one -twentieth of a dollar, and," he concluded, holding out a box toward a rawboned countryman, "here is one man that wants a box, I know." "Waal, I dunno whether I dew er not," said the countryman. "I rather guess the danged stub's got acids in it, and It'll rot the leather." "Sir," answered the fakir, with great solemnity, "you are unduly incredulous. I will demonstrate to you that this pol- ish is so harmless that it might be put into the hands of a teething child. Look, I will eat it." As he spoke be took a pinch of the grimy looking compound from a box, placed it In his mouth, and, with a look of triumph in his eyes, began to chew it. "Now, sir," he said to the country- man, "are you convinced?" "Waal, I dunno," said the incredulous one. "Because you eat the stuff it ain't no proof that it won't rot leather. Guess I won't buy none." Peerage on the Decimal System. As money is to be the master, would it not be wise to have our peerage established on the decimal system? It would work out in this way. The rank of a man should depend entirely upon his income as returned by him for tax- ing purposes and would vary with it. Thus one with an income of £150,000 and over would be a duke, £100,000 would be a marquis, £50,000 would:::be an earl, £25,600 would be a viscount, £10,000 would be a baron, £5,000 would be a baronet, £1,000 would be a knight and £500 would be an esquire. The rest would be the copper classes. The scheme would be especially serviceable in increasing the amount of the income tax, for of course every self respecting Englishman would re- turn his income at the highest figure which his resource could support. What man so sordid that, having but £500 a year, he would not willingly pay tax on £1,000 so as to enjoy the right of being dubbed a knight? The instinct of self advancement would make each pay on the highest scale, so that the revenue would benefit enormously, and the authorities could rely upon the vast majority of taxpayers overstating rather than understating their incomes.—London Truth. Coffee Not Necessarily Harmful. At the department of agriculture some thorough tests have been made of samples of coffee to determine the ex- tent and nature of coffee adulterations. The results are entirely reassuring to coffee lovers. The expert in charge finds that while very little pure Java or Mocha berries find their way into the American market, almost if not quite as good flavored beans are had from other tropical places, Porto Rico and Ilawaii being mentioned as fur- nishing good coffee. The adulterants, when used, are for the most part harm- less. The testing chemist further declares that the use of coffee in moderation should not do any injury to adults even if continued a full lifetime, but men- tions in. detail what moderation means. This is a cupful—only half of it coffee, the rest ho• milk—at breakfast, none at noon, and a small cup of black coffee after dinner. On some systems un- doubtedly coffee may act as a poison, and such persons, of course, should not drink it. The average grown person in normal health may use It moderately without harm.—Exchange. Oates of the Land of Promise, No one can watch a load of immi- grants land without being struck by the astonishing signs of hope and con- fidence about them all. There has never been any exaggeration of this. Incredible as it may seem to one who knows how grim is the struggle for life among the masses in America. It is evident that this is still the land of promise to the poor of Europe.—Scrib- ner's. Welcomed the Cireas. Howard Paul told an amusing story of his first Italian tour, when a party of 80 were piloted about by Thomas Cook, the founder of the famous firm: "We ascertained that he had ar- ranged at Tisa for a number of open n irriages to take us from the railway station to the leaning tower—about the only object of interest there was to see In that archaic place. I telegraph- ed to the mayor of Pisa that Cook's circus from England would pass through the town and that I desired him to announce it by bulletin on the Mairie and any points where the pub- lic would see the notice, that they might extend to the troupe a hearty welcome. "Not suspecting a joke, the mayor did as I suggested, and when we ar- rived, entered the coaches and drove In procession through the town the streets were thronged with spectators, who now and then sent up delirious cheers and shouted `vivas' in demon- strative fashion. Mr. Cook (I rode in his carriage) was astounded at the enthusiasm of the inhabitants and was puzzled to know how they knew the English tourists were coming, as he had only communicated with the sta- tion master regarding the vehicles. "Of course, as the author of the little comedy, I could not enlighten him, and when nay American friend and I called on the mayor to thank him for his courteous attention to my requests he gently inquired where the horses were, as the inhabitants would prefer to have seen us mounted. My Yankee partner in the `sell' was equal to the occasion, and, as be spoke a little Ital- ian, he informed the official that the horses were so numerous they would come on by a later train. "The secret was well kept, and, as Mr. Cook and none of the tourists were linguists and as we only remained in Pisa three hours, they all departed in wonderment as to why their advent had earned such extraordinary ex- citement."—Argonaut. x- citement"—Argonaut. The Postmaster at the Zoo. The lawyer who evidently considers life one huge, continuous joke entered the clerk's office at the city hall with an expression of extreme radiance over - spreading his countenance. The clerks and others having business in the office at the time ceased their several pur- suits. Experience had taught them that the aforesaid lawyer would say something of an entertaining charac- ter. "Gather round, boys," be said. "1 have a dandy for you this morning." The speaker paused. The others si- lently waited for what was coming. "Now listen carefully," resumed the lawyer, "and note the beauty of the connection between the three sections of this little conundrum. Here it is: 'If the postmaster should visit the zoo and while there be eaten by the wild animals, what o'clock would it be?' There was another pause. Finally the clerk in charge of the dockets ven- turned the answer, "It would be all day with the postmaster." "Wrong, entire) wron " comment- ed the lawyer. " dl n ask what time. I asked what o'clock would it be." A third pause. Then by general con- sent the answer was requested. The lawyer gayly announced, "Ate p m." Before the gathering had recovered the lawyer had flitted from the room and was headed for the court of ap- peals to try the postmaster zoo wild an- imals conundrum on the higher tribu- nal.—Washington Star. Dionysian' Ear. In Syracuse is a cave said to have been constructed by the tyrant Diony- slue, probably used as a prison. It is made in the shape of an Immense hu- man ear, and its acoustic properties are most remarkable. Maxwell Sommer- ville, the author of "Sands of Sahara," visited it and had its properties exhib- ited to him by the guide stationed there. The man took a sheet of letter paper and, standing within the portal of the ear, struck the edge of the paper with the forefinger of his right hand once, twice, thrice. Each light tap was re- peated through the deep orifices of that stone ear as if it had been a blow with a heavy sledge hammer on the roof of an iron house. He then rattled the pa- per slightly, and that feeble sound was augmented a millionfold, reverberating through the vaults above and beyond like the crash and roll of thunder. He whistled, spoke and called. Thousands of stentorian voices repeated every sound. Turning to my companion. I said: "We must not longer tarry. Let us embark. Now we shall go to Kabylia, 011 our way to the desert of Sahara." Myriad lungs of stone caught up the last word of each phrase and answered aloud, "Tarry—arry—embark—ark-Ka- bylia—bylia—Sahara—hara—ara—a—a." Out of Children's Months. The teacher of a Sabbath school class, says The Christian Register, approach- ed one little fellow who was present for the first time and inquired his - name, for the purpose of placing it on the roll. "Well," said the youngster, "they call me Jimmie for short. but my maiden name is James." This is a good mate for the naive and somewhat boastful statement of a lit- tle girl in a Buffalo household who as- sured a playmate that she not only had two maiden aunts, but a maiden grand- mother!

The Langdon School Entertainment. d The school entertainment given at Langdon last Saturday evening for h I, the benefit of their library was a pro- nounced success, financially and oth- al erwise. The interest of the audience never waned for a moment from the e- time the curtain■ were drawn at a quarter past eight until they were e elosed at eleven for the last time. t Miss Katherine M. Fasbender, teach- er of the school, is deserving of a 1, great deal of credit for the selection m of parts and the manner in which the whole entertainment was staged. It f was done exceedingly well, and . brought forth many complimentary e remarks. It would be difficult to say what was the best on the programme, s but the hoop drill, in which the little l girls were dressed in red and the boys in black, was gone through with beau- tiful precision. In the Jolly Wood Cutters the boys wore their overall, and with axes ever their shoulders went through the exercises with as much comical seriousness as so many old men. Lost in the Mountains was delivered by Miss Fasbender with much feeling, and was heartily ap- plauded. The other parts, recitations, dialogues, choruses, solos, and little speeches, won many laurels for the young folks and their teacher. The last on the programme was a comic drama, Our Awful Aunt, which had been revised by Miss Fasbender to suit her pupils. Aunt Matilda John- son, alias Irene Dearton, and Pete, a colored servant, alias Earl Dalton, kept the audience in a roar of laugh- ter. They really displayed much genius, and sent the people away more than satisfied, feeling that for once their pleasure would be a benefit to their children and generations to come. C. Burnsville Items. M. Keegan, of Lakeville, was here Monday. John McNervey is confined to his bed with paralysis. Ry e is looking as though it would make a first rate crop.

Jim Graves, of Credit River, is figuring on the building of L. Beg- ley's new store. John Lynch closed a deal on Sat- urday by which he became the owner of the George Hoffman farm. The Rev. A. T. McNulty, of San Diego, Cal., was here last week, the guest of the Rev: W. Rhatigan. Bishop Gordon has bought a tract of land from the Minnesota Central Railroad Company, and will fence the same for pasture this season. C. A. Forties spent a portion of last week in surveying a new road for the town of Lakeville. When slightly worked it will make a good route from Buck Hill to that town. Pt. Douglas Items. Peter Johnson has la grippe. Mrs. L. A. Beardsley is quite sick. Mr. Chaffee has gone to his farm in Dakota. Mrs. Brown has returned from her long stay in Minneapolis. We learn all our sick folks are im- proving, except Mrs. Beardsley. Prescott has again given Washing- ton County free ferriage. Thanks. J. B. Campbell and Miss Iva Wag- ner, of Moorhead, were at Irvin Shearer's Saturday. Thomas Connolly, who has been in South Dakota for twenty years, is visiting relatives here. Albert Page went to St. Paul Fri- day with his son Willie, who has gone to Livonia for the summer. Court loungers in Justice Tripp's court, West St. Paul, were treated to a lively mix-up Tuesday afternoon, when F. L. McGhee, the colored barrister, and P. M. O'Keefe so far forgot their official dignity as to in- dulge in a fight. They were both trying a case, and had indulged in personalities to the lurid point, when 0' Keefe, angered at some _remark, proceeded without warning to shut off McGhee's wind. He had a tight grip en the gentleman's throat, and from the description by those present Mr. McGhee's tongue was doing a lively song and dance in an effort to start respiration. Bystanders inter- fered, and the fight was called off. Later both attorneys apologized to the court for their conduct.—,St. Paul Globe, 18th. The Military Band. The band entertainment on Tues- day evening was among the very best ever given in the Yanz Theatre. Froin start to finish it was an enjoy- able affair, greatly s disappointing the large audience in being so much bet- ter than they had anticipated. Part I. was entirely instrumental, the selections being appropi late and most acceptably rendered under the effi- cient leadership of P. A. Ringstrom. The Human Phonograph, by John Goodman, was a novelty that re- ceived a well deserved encore. Part 11. was an original comedy, Vacation, the finest amateur play ever present- ed in ljastiugs, and the make-up anti acting were surprising when it is con- sidered that., with one or two excep- tions, it was the first appearance of any of the participants upon the stage. Mr. F. C. Gillitt is entitled to great credit for the successful man- ner in which it was brought out, 'proving himself a capable manager. The scene was a camp in the Adiron- daeks, with nothing but male charac- ters, all members of the band. F. L. Greiner, as the bank president, L. E. Barrington as the guide, F. C. Gillitt as the villain, C. J. Nelson as the reporter, and H. P. Schoen as the actor were all good in their respective parts, and the comic features, B. T. Wilcox as the dude, C. L. Wilcox as the farmer, E. A. Schroeder as his son, E. C. Johnson as the tramp, J. C. Hartin as the Irishatan, and N. A. Schroeder as the negro cook would have done credit to a professional troupe. The net receipts were a lit- tle over $50. The improvement to be made on the Milwaukee Road below this city wi11 necessitate considerable work and expense. From Carlson's lime kilns to a point below the training school, a distance of about a mile, the track will be moved out in places more than one hundred feet, and all grades will be nearly level. The small stone bridge at Carlson's Slough will be extended toward the river, and the embankment widened con- siderably. This work is in line with the policy of the road to straighten the line and acquire enough right of way that in the future, should they find it necessary, a main track paral- lel with their present one can be built at a minimum cost.—Red Wing Re- publican. The insurance companies have had bitter experiences in the large cities the past year, and claim to have made nothing. The small towns have paid about four times the rate they should for premiums and kept these same companies from going to the wall while they have so closely contested for city risks, which is de- cidedly unfair. Because they can write large risks in a hunch the local city agent realizes enormous com- missions, but the small country towns pay for losses and save the ex- travagant corporations from bank- ruptcy.—Granite Falls Tribune. Dr. A. C. Dockstader was called to Hastings Thursday afternoon owing to the illness of his mother, and it is pleasant to he able to announce that he found her much better than he had expected, and that it was only a bad cold. Her many friends hope she will soon recover again.—Lake City Oraphic-Sentinel, 18th. School Notes. Lake City has declined the chal- lenge of our high school for a joint debate.

Donald McLeod, for many years a resident of this place, died at his home at an early hoar this morning from a complication of disorders caused mainly from old age and a long life of hardships. Mr. McLeod was born in Canada in 1825, coming to the United States in 1856. He settled in Chicago, but, not liking that city, the next year came west, locating in Stillwater, where he re- mained ter two years, when he came to Hastings, and later to Prescott. The lite of Mr. McLeod seems to have been one continual round of hardship. In his younger days he was a sailor, and several times ex- perienced the terrors of shipwreck, hunger, and exposure. He was a re- markably strong man physically, and to this fact more than any other is probably due his long life. Gruff, plain spoken, yet genial and warm hearted, he made friends wherever he went. Aside from a large circle of friends he leaves a wife and one son, H. G. McLeod, of the Minneap- olis fire department, to mourn his loss. The funeral will be held from the Methodist Church on Saturday.— Prescott Transcript, 9th. The Week's Shipments. SATURDAY. D. L. Thompson, car oats west. R. C. Libbey & Co., three cars lumber east.

Speaking of the value of cream- eries to farmers he said that last season he milked eight cows and sold his cream to the Theilmanton cream- ery. The sale of cream in a year amounted to $160, or $20 per cow. He has now eight yearling calves, each worth $15 or $20, making a total earning for the eight eows of $280. From this it is easy to figure out how much profit there is in a dairy.— Webasha _Herald. So far the vete on the license question in Randolph remains as the election left it, thirty-nine for and thirty-nine against it. This vote de- feats the license proposition, but the license men claim that one -illegal no license vote was cast which, if thrown out, would give license one majority. The courts would have to pass upon the legality of the questioned vote, but no steps have been taken in that direction.—Cannon Falls Beacon. Mrs. Rachael E. Panchot died in Anoka last Friday at the age of near- ly eighty-one, haying been born June 3d, 1820. She was married to John Hare in September, 1838, and after his death married George Panchot. She leaves three sons, C. M. Hare, of this city, James U. Hare, of Burns, and L. C. Hare, of Everett, Wash. —Anoka Herald. The Hastings Gazette is endeavor- ing to stir up interest in having a summer school for teachers.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When .this tube gets inflamed yod have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75e. F. J.

A somewhat nervous English tourist vouches for the genuineness of the fol- lowing incident of Irish traveling: The train arrived some 20 minutes late at a small station, and the engine driver inquired of the station master, "Did the express go by yet, Tim?" "It did not," was the answer. There was in- decision on the part of the engine driv- er for a moment when be cheerfully exclaimed, "Ah, well; we must chance iti" as he blew the whistle and started off on the single line.—London Outlook.

In the "Floresta Espanola" of Mel- chior de Santa Cruz the author has an anecdote of Cardinal Pedro Goncalez. That prelate noticed that one of the priests in his retinue, a Biscayan, car- ried a short sword under his cloak. The cardinal reproved him and told him that it was wrong for a cleric to carry arms. The Biscayan replied that he carried the weapon to defend him- self if he were attacked by a dog. The cardinal said that in case he saw a dog running at him he should begin to re- cite from the gospel of St. John. The priest acknowledged that this was a good way, but held to the dagger, "be- cause there are some dogs who do not understand Latin." Rates of Advertising.

In the death of Alary Hudson Pringle, hundreds of people have lost a warn friend; for hers was the gra- cious and lovely gift of winning and keeping friends. To her loving sym- pathy and sweet charity none with whom she in any way came in contact could be objects of indifference or outside the circle of her interest. Miss Pringle was born at Hastings, Nov. 18th, I870, and died in Denver, Apr. 10th, 1901, of pulmonary con-. sutnption. Her school life was pas- sed in her birthplace, and she was graduated from the high school in 1890. Since that time, with the ex- ception of a year spent at Wells Col- lege, New York, she taught in the public schools, both in Faribault and in Minneapolis, until failing health made it necessary for her to remove to Colorado in August, 1899. The same sweet patience always character- istic of her marked the last weeks of suffering. A devoted and loyal daughter, sister, and friend, few have put so much of sweetness and. light into so short a period of years. The following resolutions were adopted by Court Gardner No, 3149 on Tuesday evening: WHEREAS, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved brother, Dr. J. M. Tucker, and WHEREAS, In the death of Dr. Tucker our court has lost a true Forester and staunch adherent of liberty. benevolence, and concord; his wife and family, a de- voted husband and father; the communi- ty, an exemplary citizen; and the nation, a loyal defender, therefore Resolved, That as an outward sign of the deep sorrow felt by the members of Court Gardner No. 3149. I. O. F., of Hastings, Minn., our charter be draped in mourning for a period of sixty clays. Resolved. That the members of our court hereby express to the sorrowing wife and family of our deceased brother our most sincere condolence and extend to them our heartfelt sympathy. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of our court, and copies thereof [nailed to the bereaved family and to the Hastings newspapers for publication. At heat. 11rs. Frances B.

"None But The BraNe;" Or, The Way a Coward Lover Won His Sweetheart By PRINCE T. WOODS. Copyright, 1901, by Prince T. Woods. "Don't say that, Mary! You know love you, and"— "Now, Tom Dalton, stop right where you are. I've told you often enough that 1 like you. You have been my friend and playmate ever since I was a little girl, and 1 shall always like you as a friend. No, sr; I won't listen to any lovemaking. I won't marry you, sir, and that's the end on't. will marry no one but a brave man. and 1 don't love anybody, and"— "But, Mary. surely I"— "There you go again, sir. If you ever mention love to Inc again, I will never speak to you. as sure as my naive Is Mary Hart." - "Oh, if you put it that way I'll really have to retire, for I couldn't survive the punishment. How do you know I'm not the brave man?" "And I've known you all these years, and—but I won't have it brought up again. and there's an end on't, sir." "Well, well! `If a woman will, she will, and if she won't she won't, and there's the end on't,' " quoted Tom gay- ly. "Every dog has his day, Mary. What do you say to a sail down the bay? Let's have that mother of yours and take a run down to Elm island for dinner at Cobb's farm and a bath at the short beach. It's a tine morning for a sail, and I'll be bound I'll learn to swim this time." "Tom Dalton, if there ever was— well, I know there wasn't. And I really began to think you were serious, sir. But mother never would venture out In that crazy- knockabout of yours. Wouldn't it be jolly? I'd loVZ to go." "It is all right about the knockabout. She is high and dry for a new coat of copper paint. Captain Doyle has his new schooner Willie and told me this morning he should run down to Elm come flood tide. What do you say, Mary? And—you know I was in ear- nest and"— "Say, I'm off to mamma at once." And before he could declare what he was in earnest about she was running swiftly up the pier, shouting back to him, "Yon naughty boy, I'll bet you a box of chocolates I am first at the house, sir." Mary Hart was the only daughter of the widow of Colonel Hart of the In- dian service. The colonel had been both soldier and business man, and when he had been killed in a jungle fight, soon after Mary's birth, he had left his widow a comfortable income. She bad come to America and settled In one of the quiet New England sea- shore villages in a cozy cottage adjoin- ing the estate Of Mrs. Dalton, who was an old school friend. The young peo- ple had grown up together and had been friends since childhood. Tom Dalton, a happy go lucky young man, had inherited an independent in- come from his father and now, having passed his finals at the law school, was about to practice his profession in Bos- ton. He loved Mary Hart with all his heart, but in spite of himself he could not be serious about his lovemaking, though bound to win her. And the little minx herself '' •-v dif- ficulties enough in the wav ' ,ting him sharply to account wh,. .0 at- tempted to broach the subj, et. She didn't propose to love or be loved, and if she ever could be so foolish it must be a brave man. "None but the brave deserve the ft0r, and- you aren't brave. You know you are not, sir." Flood tide found them skimming down the bay on the natty little schoon- er Willie in a spanking breeze, jumping at the sea like a mettlesome horse, while Captain Doyle stood at the wheel extolling her virtues to Mrs. Hart, The young people were camped comfortably on the deck at the windward side of the mainmast. "Great, isn't it?" said Tom. "Now what would you say to a lobster chow- der for dinner?" "Tom, you villain! You have been plotting this spree with Cobb. You know I dote on lobster chowder." "Down there last week, Told 'em we'd be down. Tried to get mother to come, but she wouldn't step her foot in anything smaller than a liner." "And you never told? I can hardly believe it. I never know when to be- lieve you, sir." "Fact! Sure enough this time, isn't it, Captain Doyle?" "Fact, sure," said the skipper. "Me an Mr. Dalton had a bit of a run down to Elm last Tuesday. Tight bit of weather coming home, too." "Thomas Dalton, do you mean that 1 you were down here in last Tuesday's gale and never told? And you let us think you had been detained in Bos- ton on business." "Got it straight from Doyle," quoth 'Pom. The Cobbs were on the beach to wel- come them. Master Harry had hauled his pots that morning and there would be lobster chowder for dinner at 2 o'clock. Would they try a dip at tbbl short beach by the runway between Elm and Elm, Jr.? They would—that is, the young people would, and Mrs. Hart would watch the sport from the beach. Once in the water, Mary's spirits seemed bubbling over and she was soon daring Dalton to try a race to a dory moored a short distance from the' beach. He seemed reluctant at first, _and was sure it was too near the cur- rent of the runway, but to take a dare from Mary and have her taunt him with a lack of courage was too much for a young man of his temperament. She was wading toward the boat, and when but a few strokes from it, called back laughingly: "Will you swim for it, Tom? If you reach it first, I'll be your prize, sir." He was striking out after her as soon as the words had left her lips. She had nearly reached the dory and, confident of winning the race, put her hand up to catch the gunwale, missed it and suddenly discovered she was out of depth and in the runway current. "Tom!" she cried, and then all Tom saw was a pair of frightened upturned eyes and a terror stricken face as she swept under the surface. A fine predicament for a lover who was not a brave man and who had barely learned to swim! Drawing a deep breath, blind to all danger and with no thought but to save her or die with her, Tont struck out into the cur- rent and under the surface. His heart thumped wildly as he felt a mass of that sun gold hair come into his grasp, and iu a moment more they rose to the surface. Through his salt dimmed eyes Tom saw a bit of rope and grasped it. They had come up un- der the stern of the dory, which had swung into the current with them, and he was now firmly gripping a bit of painter which hung over the stern. In a few minutes more he had lifted her over the side, clambered in after and was chafing her hands briskly. Mrs. Hart's cries from the beach had brought the Cobbs to the scene, and Master Harry was running a dory down the beach to the rescue. It had all happened in a very few minutes. Mary opened her eyes, smiled and said, "You needn't rub all the skin off my hands, sir." "Thank God! 'She is all right," said Tom fervently. "Tom, dear, you reached the dory fftst Kiss me, sir! You won!" And then Master Harry's boat grated alongs!de. British Barristera' Wigs. The wigs worn in English courts were formerly made of human hair, and it is on record that the white hair of a woman who lived to be 100 years old was sold for that purpose for £50. In 1827 the old form of powdered wig— which was somewhat of a nuisance be- cause the powder came off and the hair frequently required recurling—was su- perseded by the horsehair wig. Only about 100 of these legal orna- ments are made annually. A good ar- ticle will last for a quarter of a cen- tury, and, moreover, barristers do not altogether appreciate new wigs, as they suggest that the wearer is new to the business and consequently has not had much experience. The cost varies from 1 to 12 guineas. The former price purchases an ordi- nary article, while the- latter is the sum paid for what is known as a "full bot- tomed" wig, which is usually worn by the leading barristers on the occasion of a great trial. It is also the kind which adorns the head of the speaker of the house of commons. Most of the horsehair is imported, but the home product is the best and is that used in the costliest wigs.—Lon- don Standard. Old Churchyard.. It would appear that certainly so early as about A. D. 750 spaces of ground adjoining churches were inclos- ed and consecrated for burial, and by a canon of the ninth century every grave was to be esteemed sacred, to be adorn- ed with the sign of the cross and to be preserved from trespass and violation by dogs and cattle. Many churchyards have a history far older than the churches which stand in them, being originally places appropriated to reli- gious assemblies, divine service being performed there, until at length the church was added for greater honor and convenience. It has been noted as a curious fact that in a large majority of cases the churchyards are on the north side of the church and on the north side of the road leading to them. There is a superstition among many old fash- ioned folk that the north side of the churchyard is less sacred than the rest of the consecrated ground. "To be buried there," wrote Durandus, the great fourteenth century ecclesiastic, "is, in the language of the eastern countries, to be buried out of sanctu- ary." Hence the position was largely appropriated to the graves of suicides, unbaptized persons and excommu- nicates.—Notes and Queries. Not Like Town Kitchens. The delicious odor of a big, roomy country kitchen only whets one's appe- tite instead of duP.ing it as town kitch- ens do. And as to there being any- thing disagreeable in dining in the thinks of the old kitchen and its roar - of every home in the country. Every boy with country blood in his veins thinks of the old kitchen and its roar- ing fire and shining pots and pans and rows of dazzling platters when he thinks of home, that and the quaint lit- tle bedroom in the L. But the parlor, witb its hundred and one silent injunc- tions to subdued conversation and prim propriety, that is remembered but as the torture chamber of youth. It, too, may have its memories for the girls, but the kitchen holds the boy's imagi- nation fettered in golden memories.— American Kitchen Magazine. Itngland's 'rippling Act. A queer English law, called the "tip- pling act of 1751," provides that an tnnkeeper cannot recover for debts for liquor amounting to more than $5. The son of an eminent English throat spe- cialist lately ran up a bill of $250 at an English public house and based a re- fusal to pay upon the validity of this act. As the statute was still on the books, the judge was obliged to ac- knowledge its force. Prophecy Fulnaten. "The late editor's wife is something of a humorist." "Indeed I" "Yes.

',drop a Nickel In the Slot and Speak to Any One Ton Wish. The nearest approitch to wireless telegraphy in point of convenience of communication is the open air tele- phone for use in the public streets de- ' scribed by the New York Sun. This telephone is of the height and shape of a police or fire alarm box. The door can be unlocked by dropping a cent in the slot, and the coin can be recovered upon the opening of the door. Inside the box is the mechanical pay station telephone with the slots for dillies, nickels, etc., and on the in- side of the door hangs a telephone di -1 rect ory. • The receiver is attached to the back by a short arm, and beside it bangs the transmitter. Conuection with the OPEN AIR TELLP13017R. central office is made iu the usual way. and when central gets the per- son wanted and the money is deposit- ed conversation way proceed. The door of the box is On beveled hinges and shuts itself so easy that there will be a general demand for their introduction. Of course they can- not be put in without the consent of the local authorities, and they may be regarded as an obstruction in the street, although they will take up no more room than fire alarm or police telegraph boxes. It is suggested that the telephone call box may supplant both of these and make them no lon- ger necessary. OUR GREATEST METAL. We Shall Produce More Than Half a Billion Poundal of Copper This Year. According to the New York News, copper is the American nletal par ex- cellence. We shall mine 600.0003000 pounds of It in 1901 athi will sell to for- eign consumers over 1.000,000 pounds per day. In fact. we produce consider- ably more than one-half the world's total supply of copper. Though we are by far the largest users of the metal. we are able, while supplying our own wants, to export im- mense quantities. In fact, we sell to foreign purchasers as much as we util- ize ourselves, Great Britain, France :and Germany taking pretty nearly all of the copper ingots and plates that we send abroad. Those countries. except- ing Germany, which has only a small output, are not producers of copper. During the year 1900 we sold to for- eign consumers about 381,000,000 pounds of copper. Full statistics of production for that twelvemonth have not yet been gathered by the United States geological survey, but the output of this country in 1899 was 567,500,000 pounds.

There had been a small bank failure, and the bank had gone into the hands of a receiver. The receiver had proved to be dishonest and had absconded with what remained of the funds of the institution. Expert detectives, however, were on his track, and he was run to earth in a mountain town and taken back to the scene of his financial elfploits. It was after midnight when the de- tectives arrived with their prisoner, and Mr. Means, the principal deposit- or in the bank and therefore the prin- cipal loser, was awakened at his home and informed by telephone of the cap- ture. He expressed his gratification and went back to bed. Shortly afterward he was aroused to receive another telephone message to the same effect from a different source. "Thanks:" he said, "but I had heard of it already. Good night!" And again he sought his couch. About 2 o'clock he was awakened a third time. The telephone bell was ringing. In no gentle frame of mind he an- swered it. "Hello!" he said. "Hello!" responded a voice through the telephone. "Is this Mr. Means?" "Yes. What do you want?" "Mr. Means, this is Deputy Sheriff Jones. We've caught that runaway re- ceiver. Is there anything you'd like to have me do personally in the matter?" "Yes!" roared Mr. Means. "Hang up the receiver!" And he was not disturbed again.— Youth's Companion. Mark Twain and the Serpent's Tooth. Mark Twain's daughter, Miss Clara L. Clemens, in entering upon her career as a concert singer, had a long con- ference witb a manager. Many mat- ters were discussed, plans made and details settled, Miss Clemens dictating her own ideas. The young singer, who had experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining parental consent to a pub- lic career, showed her earuestuess by the businesslike manner in which she looked into affairs. When matters had been fully consid- ered and the manager was about to leave, Miss Clemens said, with the large determination that small bodies not infrequently possess: "I wish it distinctly understood that my father's name is not to be men- tioned at all in connection with my singing in public." Mark Twain, who had been sitting in the room during the interview, in which, however, he had taken no part, looked up quizzically and said, with if twinkle in his eyes: "You see what it is to have a thank- less child."—Saturday Evening Post. The Porter's Lucky Day. "We were traveling from El Paso to the coast," said the advance man of a theatrical combination, "and the porter had tucked us snugly in our berths, when we were awakened to the con- sciousness that our train was 'held up.' The robbers marched us out of the car and made us deliver. Fortunately not one of us had more than a few dollars In cash. But the man who held up the car porter gave a yelp of delight: 'See what I've fokaid! Put 'em back! Start tb: train!'

"The military service," said the sergeant, "requires little pray- er to God and a strict attention to the orders of a 'superior."

A colonel of a British regiment In South Africa who was repairing a rail- road after one of General De Wet's many breakages discovered a fine emp- ty house, which he proceeded to occu- py as headquarters. Wben the news of the colonel's com- fortable quarters reached Bloemfon- tein, he received a telegram which read: "G. T. M. wants house?' The colonel was unable to make out what "G. T. M." meant and inquired of officers, who translated it "general traffic manager." "All right," said the colonel. "If he can use hieroglyphics, so can I." So he wired back: "G. T. M. can G. T. II." Two days later he received a dis- patch from Bloemfontein ordering him to attend a board of inquiry. On ap- pearing in due course he was asked what he meant by sending such an in- sulting message to a superior officer. "Insulting?" repeated the colonel in- nocently. "It was nothing of the kind." "But what do you mean," demanded his -superior. "by telling me I can 'G. T. H.?" "It was simply au abbreviation," re- plied the colonal—"G. T. M. (general traffic manager) can G. T. II.

"Sometimes their taste goes back on them, so to speak, and remains blunt- ed for a week at a stretch. One of my customers, for instance, is a well to do merchant, who is very particular about his cigars and one of the few real con- noisseurs in town. When he is in good form, he can tell more about to- bacco on a superficial examination than anybody I knew, with the single exception of a dealer who has a big reputation as an expert. About a month ago this gentleman began to complain about a favorite brand of very high class cigars. I knew the goods were all right and advised him to buy something else for awhile. He dually began smoking a pipe and used a cheap cut plug that he declared was the best smoke he ever tried. One day, all of a sudden, his taste return- ed, and Ile went back to the cigars. At present the bare smell of cut plug will make him sick. Strange, isn't it?

Tapioca. This elegant and delicate starch is the product of a plant that is culti- vated very extensively in the Malay peninsula, where its culture is almost entirely in the hands of the Chinese. The tubers of the plant (Manihot util- isima), which weigh on an average from 10 to 25 pounds, are first scraped and then carefully washed, after which they are reduced to a pulp by being passed between rollers. This pulp is carefully washed and shaken up with abundance of water until the felcula separates and passes through a very fine sieve into a tub placed beneath. The flour so obtained is repeatedly washed and then placed on mats and bleached by exposure to the sun and air. It is finally converted into the pearl tapioca of commerce by being placed in a crude shaped frame cov- ered with canvas. It is slightly moist- ened and subjected to a rotary motion, by which means it is granulated. It is next dried in the sun and finally over the fire in an iron pan greased with vegetable tallow and is then ready for the market. The Red Flag. The red button and the red flag bare been the emblem of labor and revorti- tion for more than 3,000 years. In the ancient world the favorite colors of the aristocracy were white and azure blue, while red was plebeian. Minerva and Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agri- cultdre, were always represented as dressed in flaming red, and the ban- ners of the Greek and Roman trade unions were of the same color. The red flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc- ity and slaughter, but rather typified the flirt that all men, whether slaves .or masters, had in their veins the same blood and in their nature the same hu- manity. But in the frequent servile wars of Italy and Greece themed flag gradually became the emblem not of labor, but of revolt. At one time when the rebel- lious slaves and gladiators under Spar- tacus defeated three Roman armies the red flag was on the point of supplant- ing the eagle in the imperial city itself. It is related that the labor soldiers were so fanatically devoted to theft flag that it was the custom of their generals when in battle to burl it far into the enemy's ranks and so compel its devotees to rush tiorward and recov- er it.—New York Post.

Kiw the name of one species. Beaut mats are made of the feathers of white variety, but it takes ten y and more to collect enough feathers make even a small mat which wo sell for about $150. Birds without song belong to wail. In Honolulu one sees a about the size of the robin, an it pendent sort of fellow, that wa about like a chicken, instead of h ping like a well trained bird of United States, and it has no song. A bird that walks and swims, does not fly, is the penguin. No ne are made by penguins, but the one laid at a time by the mother is carr about under her absurd little wing under her leg. The largest of flight birds is the C fornia vulture or condor, measur frotutipto tip 91,.1 to 10 feet and exce ing considerably in size the true con of South America. The bird lays one egg each season—large, oval, as green in color and deeply pitted, distinctive in appearance that it c not be confounded with any other. The California condor is rapidly a proa,ching extinction and museums over the world are eager to secu living specimens. It is believed th there is only one in captivity. Another large bird is the rhinocer bird, which is about the size of a to key. One recently- shot on the Isla of Java had in its crop a rim from small telescope and three brass bu tons, evidently belonging to n Briti soldier's uniform. A bird which is swifter than a hot is the road runner of the soutliwe Its aliases are the ground cuckoo, t lizard bird and the snake killer, snak being a favgrite diet.

T falling a prey to snakes ars teoukeys the tailor bird picks up dead leaf and flies up into a high tree and with a fiber for a thread and it bill for a needle sews the leaf on to green one hanging from the tree.

Jlany a regiment cannot compare i perfection of movement with the tligh Floridaof the curlews of winging then way to their feeding grounds mile away, all in uniform Tines in unbroket perfection. The curlews are daint and charming birds to see. some pink some white. Binds in flight often lose their bear lugs, beii.g blown aside from their course by the %vied. In this case they are as badly off as a mariner without a compass in a strange sea on a star- less night. All v; ry young birds, by a wise pro - visite' of nature, are eutirely without fear until they are able to fly. The reason of the delayed development of fear is that, being unable to fly, the birds would struggle and fall from their nests at every noise and be killed. Suddenly, almost in a day, the birds develop the sense of fear, when their feathers are enough grown so that they can fly. It is always a source of wonder to arctic explorers to find such quantities of singing birds within the arctic cir- cle. They are abundant beyond belief. But the immense crop of cranberries, crowberries and cloudberries that ripen in the northern swamps accounts for the presence of the birds. A stick of wood seven Inches long and a quarter of an inch in diameter was once taken from a wren's nest. It is very singular that so small and deli- cate a bird should use such rough ma- terial with which to construct its nest. If an eagle should use material pro- portioned to its size, its nest would he made up of fence rails and small saw logs. The extraordinary situations in which nests are found occasionally al- most give one the impression that birds must be endowed with a sense of hu- mor. For instance, a wren built its nest upon a scarecrow, a dead sparrow - hawk, which a farmer had hung up to frighten away winged ravagers of his crop. In the pocket of an old jacket hanging in a barn a bird, also a wren, made Its nest, which when discovered contained five eggs. It was a robin that raised a young family In a church pew and a robin that built its nest in the organ pipes of a church.

Now that the use of boiled drinking water has become commou, it is inter- esting to be reminded that a similar method of guarding against disease was practiced in ancient times.

ENGLAND'S FIRST SHIP. Great Harry Was the Country's P mien Fighting Machine. Of the first ship, properly speak! of the British navy, known as Great Harry, the following parts lars are given in an old number of Mechanic's Magazine, dated Oct. 1823: The Great Harry was built by K Henry VII at a cost of f14,000, a was burned at Woolwich, through ac dent, in 1553. Though King Henry, as well other princes, hired many ships, elusive of those which the differe seaports were obliged to furnish, seems thus to have been the first ki who thought of avoiding this Inco venience by raising such a force might be at all times sufficient for t service of the state. Historians tell that he caused his navy, which h been neglected in the preceding reig to be put in a condition to protect t British coasts against all foreign Inv sions, and that in the midst of pr found peace he always kept up a tie ready to act. In August, 1512, the Regent, a ss. of 1,000 tons, which was at that tim the largest vessel in the British nav was burned, and to replace it t Great Harry, or, as it was also know tfie Henry Grace de Dieu. was built 1515. The vessel, of about 1,000 tons bu den, was manned by 349 soldiers, 30 marines and 50 gunners. She had fo masts and portholes on both flecks an in other parts. Before the time of her constructio the cannon were placed above dec and on the prow and poop. One D charges, a French builder at Brest, i said to have invented portholes. In a list of the British navy, as f stood on Jan. 5, 1548, the Great Harr is said to have carried 19 brass and 10 iron pieces of ordnance. The name of the ship is supposed t have been changed In the reign of Ed ward VI to Edward, which, on Aug 20, 1552, was reported to be still "1 good case to serve," and was ordere "to be grounded and calked once year to keep it tight."—Cassier's Maga zine. ra- ng, the cu - the 25, Ing nd el - as ex- nt he ng n - as he us ad n. he a- o - et ip e y, he n, in r- 1 ur n k e- a t y 3 0 n d a BILLIARD CUES. How They Are Made—America Fur- nishes the Best. "Most billiard cues," said a New York manufacturer the other day, "are made in two pieces—the cue proper and the handle. The cue is made generally of maple, and the butt, which is wedge shaped, is inserted into a handle of rosewood, snakewood. ebony, mahog- any, walnut or some other fancy dark wood, which is cut to dovetail with the long part. "The maple wood used in making the handles is sawed into suitable lengths and seasoned. The logs are then split into pieces from which the handles are made. These pieces are called bolts. The bolts are sawed approximately to the shape of the handle to be finally made, and in this shape they are han- dle blocks. The handle block is turned to the shape of the handle in a lathe. and when the butt has been fitted it Is finished and polished. "The finest and best cues are fitted to the handle or butt by means of a double wedge. At the top of the cue Is a ferrule of ivory, of horn or bone, in which the leather tip is fitted. While the ivory ferrule is the most expensive, of course it is less durable than the horn or bone ferrules, which are less liable to crack. The extra workman- ship on cues 1s put In on the butts, some of which are elaborately inlaid and carved in beautiful patterns. "There are a number of billiard play- ers who will not permit another person to use their cues, and for the use of these particular players cues are turn- ed out from which the tips may be un- screwed, leaving the cue with unfinish- ed points and useless. "American billiard cues are the light- est, strongest and neatest made any- where in the world. They are made in all weights and lengths and rank in price from 30 cents to $95 and more each, according to the quality and fin- ish of the article.—Washington Star. The Lesson He Wanted. In his autobiography, "Up From Slav- ery," Booker T. Washington tells an amusing anecdote of an old colored man who during the days of slavery wanted to learn bow to play on the gui- tar. In his desire to take guitar les- sons he applied to one of bis young masters to teach him. But the young man, not having much faith in the ability of the slave to master the gui- tar at his age, sought to discourage him by telling him: "Uncle Jake, I will give you guitar lessons. But, Jake, I will have to charge you $3 for the first lesson, $2 for the second lesson and $1 for the third lesson. But I will charge you only 25 cents for the last lesson." Uncle Jake answered: "All right, boss, I hires you on dem terms. But, boss. I wants yer to be sure an give me dat las' lesson first." The Way to Massage the Face.

POWER OF IMAGINATION. & Druggist's Story of How It Worked In One Case. "The power of imagination," said a New York druggist, "is past compre- hension. Not long since a domestic in the employ of a prominent family came Into the store in great baste with a prescription which called for two grains of morphine in two ounces of aqua pura—that is, distilled water—the accompanying direction reading, 'A teaspoonful every hour until the pain la allayed.' The patient for whom it was intended was the head of the fam- ily, who was suffering from a severe at- tack of nervous neuralgia. "Now, it so happened that the fam- ily physician who had written the pre- scription was behind the counter when the messenger arrived, having dropped In, as was his wont, on the way to his office. While I was putting up the pre- scription we chatted and laughed and joked and passed the time of day as only professional men are capable of doing. I filled the bottle, corked it carefully and labeled it properly, and when the retreating form of the do- mestic had disappeared out of the store door returned to my companion- able physician visitor. As I did so I saw to my amazement the two grains of morphine reposing upon the pre- scription scales. " `Doctor,' I ejaculated, 'I've given that girl nothing but distilled water. The morphine is here; look at it. What shall I do?' " `Do?' be replied, with admirable sang frond. 'Do? Why, nothing at all. I'll wager you that the aqua pura will work as well without the opiate as with !t.' "'Agreed,' said I. And do you know," concluded the pharmacist, "the doctor was right, and the patient with the nervous neuralgia—an exceptionally in- telligent and college bred man—was sleeping as peacefully as a babe after the second dose of the 'mixture.' Faith Is everything where medicine is concerned."—Exchange. STALKED BY VULTURES. While a Man Was Trailing a Buck the Birds Followed the Man. I met with a curious and not alto- gether pleasant experience, writes an Anglo-Indian correspondent who has done a good deal of large and small game shooting in India, when I was one day stalking a black buck. Be- tween me and my quarry lay a large flat field of black cotton soil bordered by a very low, straggling and thinly growing hedge of small babul trees. My only way to get a shot was to cross this, keeping the bushiest tree between me and the buck, who had not much to browse on and was therefore seldom motionless. I proceeded to do the hun- dred yards on the flat of my stomach. This on loose, hard baked black cotton soil was no joke. I pushed my rifle on ahead; then, wriggling past it until the muzzle was near my knee, I would pass it on in front again, and so on. Progress was slow, and I was so ab- sorbed that I failed to observe shad- ows crossing and recrossing my path and circling round until I had gone some 50 yards. Then the whirring of wings attracted my ears, and almost at the same moment a vulture landed on the ground not 20 yards away. I look- ed up. The air was alive with these repulsive looking birds. Then it flash- ed across me that I was being stalked! Doubtless these birds were attracted by my extraordinary method of pro- cedure and mistook me for a wounded or dying man making a final effort to reach some shady spot. This was espe- cially possible, as the experience oc- curred in a famine district where deaths by the wayside were not infre- quent. By looking up I had evidently shown myself to the buck, for he was now off at full tilt. I therefore took pot shot at the vulture at 20 yards, but did not allow for the sighting sufficient- ly and missed him. The thought of be- ing waited for by a flock or vultures while very much alive and well was, to say the least, uncanny.—Pall Mall Gazette. Burden Bearers of the East. In the east the camel today, as in the days of Solomon, is the principal beast of burden in peace and in war. Across the pitiless desert be strides, his great pack nodding as be swings along. Down the old, old trail that winds through the hills of Lebanon, blinking, they come in pairs, bringing cedars to the sea. But the most remarkable of all freighters is the eastern hamai, the human burden bearer. All or nearly all the freight of Constantinople is handled by the Kamal. He wears on his back a regular pack saddle, thin at the top, where it rests on his shoulders, and thick at the bottom, where it ends at his hips. A broad band circles his forehead, and when he leans forward the saddle presents a flat, level sur- tace.—Munsey's Magazine. Cheap. Lover—You are getting prettier every day.

A PLEASING HALL SHOULD GIVE THE KEYNOTE TO ALL WITHIN. Some Arrangements That Combine Originality and C ieuee—Be- neath the Stairway—A Hall Settle. A Picturesque Corner Chimney, First impressions of an interior of necessity are gained from the hall. It is for this reason perhaps that special efforts are made to have the hall at- tractive and, if possible, to incorporate in its furnishing or arrangements some note of originality that will give it a marked individuality of its own. The BENEATH THE STAIRWAY. Ladies' World has presented a numb of sketches which are an attempt combine some original ideas wl others whose chief motive is conve fence. Among them are the two he described. In hundreds of houses having stat ways with straight runs at one side the hall there is a dark space left b neath the stairway that is anythit but desirable. This is usually utiliz as a place to stow away coats, cape jackets, rubbers and umbrellas, an such use of it is all right if a prop treatment is given to the front of th opening. Instead of a yawning caver appearing when one enters the hall, le there be built an attractive partitio beneath the stairway that shall inclos the space to be used for wearing ap parel. The illustration shows one way to d this. A low doorway is made where curtain can be hung, while about thi is fretwork. Two drawers to ho shoes, rubbers, storm hats, capes, etc are placed in the lowest part of th space, their top serving as a shel within the closet. In the highest pa of the space are hooks forbanging u wearing apparel. The wood shout harmonize with the rest of the hall o may be painted if the hall is painted. When the arrangement of the hal does not permit of a built in seat, an where the floor room Is ample, a hal settle le decidedly attractive and al decidedly convenient, if, like the one I the illustration, it has an open spec beneath it for the accommodation o rubbers and storm clothing and a drawer where the tennis rackets and balls can be placed when coming in from a game. This settle is simple of construction, but as substantial in appearance as the oak of which It is made. its lack of fancy ornamentation and carving can be made up by giving it a beautiful surface finish, to which oak wood lends itself so perfectly. Of course care must be taken to have the lid made of well seasoned wood, and it must fit snugly without binding. The binges should be of ornamental oxidiz- ed metal. An open fireplace is specially attract- ive in a hall. One which has the merit of being somewhat out of the usual run is built in a corner, and its top re- cedes with each course of bricks until it disappears in the corner at the bot- tom of the border of the wall paper. The bricks may be the common red pressed bricks or bricks In any of the very attractive colors that are now furnished—white, black, buff, gray, etc. The same chimney that goes up behind this corner may be made to afford open fireplaces in other rooms that join the hall. The hall is without doubt the keynote of the home within. Cheerful colors and delightful cleanliness should here reign, and the chance visitor, with an agreeable atmosphere at the very threshold, will endeavor to bring no note of discord to mar the harmony that greets him. Furniture should be substantial and ornamented very little. Carpets should be either warm 1n tone or of colors that will not show dust and of very small figure. It is an excellent plan to use stair and floor covering of the same pattern, er to th a- re r - of s- ig ed 5, d cr e n n e 0 a s ld e rt p d r 1 d 1 so n e A HALL SZZTTLL if the stairs are carpeted at all, rather than the bordered carpeting matching the floor, as the stairs seem wider with- out the distinctly outlining borders and change to better advantage when all is alike. The modern staircase is of hard wood and la usually left uncarpeted. Not a Good Liar. Mrs. Newbrlde-1 didn't see you at my wedding. - Mr. Stingee (who saved the price of a gift)— Why.

A public house is one of the last places one would expect to be used as a place of worship.. The inhabitants of Twyford, a village near Winchester, would not consider this at all a nov- elty, because for several years past the Phceilx inn has been used Sunday for religious purposes. The room in which the religious services are held will comfortably hold about 200 people and opens at the back on to a pretty. tea garden. The most remarkable fea- ture of the services is that they are of- ten conducted while the public house is open for business purposes, and the customers can join in the singing if they are so disposed. There are two or three instances of public houses which have been con- verted into churches, and there are also two or three theaters which are now places of worship. The Fen dis- trict possesses a canalboat church. There are a large number of people who live some distance away from any church, and the canalboat church trav- els from place to place for the benefit of such folk. The boat will seat a congregation of about 100. The old chapel of ease at Tunbridge Wells has a unique situation. It stands in two counties and three parishes. When the clergyman leaves the vestry, he comes out of the parish of Frant of Sussex. If ht is going to officiate at the altar, he walks into the parish of Tunbridge, in Kent. If, on the other hand, he is going to preach the sermon, he walks from the parish of Frant to the parish of Speldhurst on his way to the pulpit. The chapel at Milton Bryant is situ- ated in the village pond. The reason for the selection of this strange site was because no landowner would would grant any other position. The "windmill" church near Reigate is familiar to London cyclists. Not so familiar is the underground church at Brighton. Owing to some "ancient lights" difficulty, the authorities could not "build up," and as the site was a good one they decided to "build down." —London Mail. USING HIS WITS. Showing How People May Be Guided by Inference. "You see," said the man with the bulging forehead and prominent nose, "if people would only be guided more by inference it would save lots of use- less trouble." "I don't understand you," said the man who had been tickling a pimple on his chin. "Why, for instance, I passed a frozen pond one winter day. On the ice I saw a pair of skates, a boy's cap and a mit- ten. Out in the middle of the pond the ice was broken. Did I jump to the conclusion that a boy had been drown- ed and raise a great hullabaloo about it?" "Of course you did, or else you ought to be prosecuted. You don't mean to say you passed on and said nothing?" "I do," calmly replied the man of the forehead. "I inferred instead of jump- ing to a false conclusion." "But you had to infer that the boy was under the ice," protested the oth- er. "Not a bit of it. If the boy had fallen in, the skates and cap and mittens would have gone with him. I simply inferred that be had seen a rabbit and given chase. I was right too. In the course of live minutes I met him on the road." "Ob, you did! And maybe you infer- red somethingelse." "Of course did. As he had the nose- bleed, I inferred that he had fallen over a log in the chase and got left, and he admitted that such was the case." "Then you ought to have wound up the performance by inferring whether It was a male or female rabbit." "It wasn't necessary, my captious friend. As I passed on I found the rabbit, dead from overexertion, and it was a male."—Washington Post. Historical Divisions of Time. For convenience time is, by his- torians, _usually divided into three great eras—ancient, mediaeval (or mid- dle) and modern. The ancient period is considered to extend from the earli- est times down to the fall of the Ro- man empire in the west in A. D. 476; the medisevai from that date to the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492 and the modern from that time to the present. Some historians prefer to put the end of the mediaeval period at the capture of Constantinople by the Turks, about 40 years earlier than the Columbus event. The dark ages are often held to be coeval with the me- diaeval era, but some authorities think that the term should be applied only to the part of the era extending from the downfall of the empire of Charle- magne, in the ninth century, onward. An Absurd Superstition. A popular belief is that the sound produced by a little insect known as a "death watch" portends the death of some relative or friend. That the noise made by this little creature re- sembles the ticking of a watch is un- disputed, but that it la anywise fore- tells the dissolution of a human being is absurd. Observation haft establish- ed the fact that these little insects in- fest decaying timber and posts, and that the peculiar noise is caused by them in gnawing and boring through the rotten wood fibers in quest of food.

He Who Brags About How Many Times He Has "Crossed." The ocean scorcher, the woman or man who was forever bragging about how many times he had "crossed," is, thank heaven, on the decrease. Fash- ion has at last set the seal of her dis- approval on him, and he is rapidly be- coming obsolete. The fashion is now never to mention the number of times one has been to Europe. "The last time I was over" is the way to refer to an over the water experience if you wish to be in the vogue. Of course you may, if you truthfully can, say "the time be- fore last I was over" or "the tenth time I crossed" or "during my seventh trip through Europe," but a great majority, you will find, say "the last time I was over." It is safer—when one has been over but once. Pin many of these travelers so fond of relating their European experiences down to the figures, and you will find that "the last time I was over" bears a close relation to the little boy who said he was next to the head of his class, to have it transpire later that the class consisted of himself and a little girl. "The last time I was over" may, like as not, have been the first. Still any- thing Is better than the ocean scorcher and his bragging. To him it didn't matter where he hadn't been or what be hadn't seen or anything, but simply bow many times he had crossed. The one time on record that any one was known to get ahead of these scorchers was when a lot of them were sitting swapping lies on a certain steamship deck and a nonscorcher, hav- ing learned that the star scorchers rec- ord was 188 runs, remarked, "There's a man on board who has crossed 560 times." Then, as the excitement caused by the news somewhat subsided: "He's never been anywhere except to the two ports Liverpool and New York. He's never seen anything, he's never done anything, but just cross the ocean 566 times—he's the ship's barber."—New York Sun. He Hacked Off His Leg. Caught in a bear trap on the banks of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me.,. John McLeod, a lumber scaler, was obliged to take out his jackknife and cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy to move and was sprung in such a way that be could not reach over and re- lease it. He was far from any human being, and the only way out of it seem- ed to be to cut oft the leg. That was done easily, because the leg upon which he operated was of wood. But when be stumped back to camp It made him mad to hear the jeers of the French-Canadian cook of the lumber crew. "Why you no take off you whole wood laig, ah? You get out um thrap and no spile you wood laig 'tall, ah?" Such a way out of his difficulty had not occurred to McLeod before. Skill In Throwing Off Mail Bags. The busiest clerk in any crew or car is the one who is detailed to receive and throw off the sacks and pouches. To lift a heavy mail sack and throw it from a car moving at the rate of a mile a minute is a matter of good target shooting. "Looks easy enough," com- mented one of the veteran clerks at the letter case, "and it does seem as if a man should be able to hit a station platform without much difficulty, but you see that station is passed and gone in about one second. Then, the suction of a train running at this speed is some- thing terrific, and until the knack of throwing a pouch is learned a man is liable to feed the wheels with a few letters."—Saturday Evening Post Origin of the Word Sterling, The origin of the word "sterling" is very curious. Among the early mint- ers of coin in northern Europe were the dwellers of eastern Germany. They were so skillful in their calling that numbers of them were invited to Eng- land to manufacture the metal money of the kingdom. The strangers were known as "easterlings." After a time the word became "sterling," and in this abbreviated form it has come to imply what is genuine In money, plate or character. A skeleton. "What is a skeleton? Can you tell me, children P' asked a teacher of her Sunday school class. The infant class looked troubled. Their ideas on the subject were of the most vague description and, they seem- ed to think, hardly worth mentioning.

Rarefied Humor of the Rockies. High up on the Laramie range there la a little station called Sherman—a mere watering place for trains on the Union Pacif. ? railway. Near by it is a gigantic pyramid of stone 60 feet high and 60 feet square at the base, which was set up by the railway as a monument to Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames. In the latter eighties there arrived at Sherman a shabby person of melan- choly aspect, who put up a "shack"— western for shanty—not far from the monument. Ostensibly, he was pros- pecting, and he continued to prospect for three years without accomplishing any results, so far as could be ob- served. At the end of that period the management of the Union Pacific re- ceived from him a communication de- manding the immediate removal of the monument from the premises, which he claimed as his under the homestead law. The matter was regarded in a hu- morous light at first, but subsequent proceedings developed the fact that the squatter had what lawyers call a "case." The stranger, it seems, had located en a section of land which did not be- long to the Union Pacific—the same section on which the monument had, by an inadvertence, been placed. He knew very well what he was about. and the upshot of the affair was that the railway had to pay $5,000 for the squatter's tract in order to make its title good. The monument, by the way, is dis- tant only about 100 yards from the station, and it is a favorite trick of ex- perienced persons to induce green travelers to attempt a run to the pyra- mid and back during the two minutes of the train's wait. In nine cases out of ten they fall on the way back, bleeding at the nose, the air being so rarefied at that elevation of 8,300 feet as to forbid such exercise.—Saturday Evening Post. Making It Rather Personal. This is credited as one of General Lew Wallace's Turkish jokes: There lived in Stamboul. Turkey, a well to do Turk named lsmad Ismail Hassam. He was endowed with oriental wit that stood him well in hand when he was in a tight place. A neighbor called on Is- mail one day and wanted to borrow his donkey to use an hour. Ismail made a low salaam and said: "Neighbor, 1 am sorry, but my troy started on the donkey an hour ago to Scutari. By now he is gayly trutr,ng over the hills far from the sacred pre- cincts of Stamboul." Just as Ismail finished his speech a donkey's loud bray was heard in the stable, which was under the same roof as Ismail's house, but in the rear. The neighbor said: "Ah, I hear your donkey bray." Ismail protested that his neighbor's ears were deceived and that the noise was not a donkey's bray. Then the donkey, which was supposed to be jog- ging along toward Scutari, brayed twice loudly. It was too much, and the neighbor cried: "Oh, that is your donkey, Ismail. Al - lab help me. I can now borrow him." Then Ismail said: "Which do you believe is lying, the donkey or me?" The neighyor had to give Ismail the benefit of the doubt and went away. Why Spiders Are Not Insects. The spider is not an insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. With scor- pions and mites spiders form a class in the animal kingdom known as Arach- nida. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Arachne, the daughter of a purple dyer of Lydia. who was fabled to have challenged Minerva to a trial of skill in spinning. So indignant was the goddess at this act of boldness that she forthwith transformed the hapless challenger Into a spider, presumably in order that she might have the best possible op- portunity of practicing the art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ from insects in five main particulars. Their eyes are sim- ple instead of compound, they have eight legs in place of six, they do not pass through the metamorphoses which are characteristic of insects. they have no antennie and their breathing is accomplished by means of organs which combine the functions of lungs and gills, instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. Tbese points of distinction are sufficient to deter- mine the fact that ft is impossible to class spiders as insects. A Literal Constriction. In a school for colored children there was a little boy who would persist in saying "have went," says a contributor to The Christian Endeavor World. The teacher kept him In one night and said: "Now while I am out of the room you may write 'have gone' 50 times." When the teacher...cawe back-, he looked at the boy's paper and there was "have gone 50 times." On the other side was written, "I have went home." Had Last His Fourth. One of Judge Howland's stories bad to do with the old Maine farmer who bad been married four times. Shortly after the death of his fourth wife a neighbor stopped him and said: "Mornln, Cyrus. How's the wife this mornin?" "Waal, to tell ye the truth," replied Cyrus, "I'm kinder out of wives just now."—Detrolt Free Press.

Heatwole is being persistently mentioned as prospective superintendent of the government printing office at Washington, prin- cipally by those who would like to see him withdrawn from Minnesota politics for reasons of their own. Mr. Heatwole is a practical printer and capable manager, and doubtless would conduct the largest printing office in the world to general satis- faction. Still, he never had the slightest intention of accepting the position. The people of the third district will keep him in congress just as long as he cares to serve. The state capital is reported to be sinking into the ground from over weight. This is the old building, and not the weather stained pile of Georgia marble that will look like an old castle before it is occupied. The latter has another appropriation of a million dollars, although the commission solemnly promised to complete it for the first allowauce of two millions, and that is much more than it will ever be worth. The first rule of the new board of control prohibits the superintendent or manager from employing or retain- ing a relative by blood or marriage is the institution under his charge after Aug. lst. This order unfortu- nately calls for a new matron iu our asylum, and will make quite a num- ber of changes throughout the state.

The a new law relieves him from per- sonal responsibility, but is much more stringent in the selection of the depositories. The attorney general holds that the fees of sheriffs for the return of fugitives from justice upon requisition papers should be paid by the state and not by the counties, and limited to $3 per day and reasonable expenses.

The petit jury will be called June 10th, As the local business world appears somewhat interested in the newly organized Hammond Ice Company in Baltimore, it is pertinent at this time to note the factors who will make the management the success which all predict for it. Mr. F. J. Kohler, • treasurer of the City Trust and Bank- ing Company, is one of the directors, and is a man whose standing in his city is sufficiently high to warrant the belief that his co-operation will lie of advantage, morally and materially. A career which has been full of hard work has familiarized him with the prominent men in Baltimore and in other large cities, while it has, by the very fact that he has at times assum- ed important capacities, rendered his views conservative and deliberate. The ability to advance in influence and still retain the good will and respect of every one is net a common one. Mr. Kohler has shown, we think, that he possesses this to a con- siderable extent-- Nu, YorkFjnanc'al Review.

There is only, one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in• flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

And how the folk do press To see, to touch, may be, the very dress Of those who dared the death when Life is sweet! But stay! Where joy is general, where the sound Of jubilant vetoes rends the air around, Why is yon group so silent in its place, With war's impassioned image face to face? Wherefore those eyes cast nunlike on the ground? Who are these hangers back, these dark robed ones? They are the mothers who are reft of sons, The wives whose dearest lie all uncaressed _ Afar with vital stains on brow or breast, The children orphaned at the mouths of guns. —Richard Burton in Outlook. A Sentimental Journey JitTN And Its Results. By GiLBERT DAYLE. It was about 4 o'clock one afteru in February, and Hippesley was sitt on the veranda of the Cafe de Pari Monte Carlo. He sat deep in thou his ears mechanically listening to strains of the little Hungarian ban few yards away from him. He thinking of the reason that had brou him to the place. He had been abr for 1:3 years, yet within a month of return he had left again and hurr to spend a few days on the Riviera -fore taking steamer at Marseilles. It was absurd, he knew it, but t longing to see her face again was fr sistibie. He would not seek an opp tunity of speaking with her. T scheme on which their lives had be worked out made this impossible. simply had an overwhelming desire see her. Then he could go back to 1 lonely life, not happy; he could nev be that, but with a fresh picture the one woman he had ever loved. He noticed a smart carriage draw before the broad steps of the Casin and almost simultaneously a man a a woman came out of the buildin The man was middle aged, a tri heavy in build and faultlessly dresse He handed the lady into the carriag Hlppesley, as he caught sight of h face, gave a start and clutched hold the table. She was a young Engli woman, magnificently beautiful. The color Left his face, and he rive ed his eyes on her. He watched h smilingly nay "goodby" to the man o the steps; then the carriage turned an drove rapidly away. As it vanish from sight he sank back in his chal his mouth twitching. His throat see ed dry and parched; he stretched fo ward and drank some tea at a gul Then the voices of two men talkin just behind him reached his ears. "That was the Princess Zandra. Si is living at the Villa Erondel, at Bea lieu." "Enormously rich?" "She was till a day or so ago." Th man lowered his voice. Hippesle found himself straining for the nes words. "I happen to know," came i almost a whisper, "that the late print was sufficiently 111 advised to inves nearly all his money in an enterpris that has recently come to the groun with a crash, and the princess, wh never had the slightest suspicion of he affairs not being in a satisfactory state has suddenly been told that anothe year at her present rate of expenditu will leave her penniless." "What will she do?" "Go on living as she has done an marry again. Women with such beau ty can pick and choose. There are n hard places for them. Rumor says i will be the man who has just left her. He Is not a good man but he is pas sionately in love with her and a mil lionaire twice over." Hippesley rose from his seat and making his way round to the terrace sank into a seat. He felt he could hear no more. It was all so curious, so star- tlingly strange. To think that the girl he lead left living with her father on the outskirts of a quiet English coun- try town should have developed into this wonderful Princess Zandra, whose beauty was known throughout Europe. And they had loved one another! He had gone abroad with the hope of making a name for himself, of being able to claim her. But ill luck had dogged him, and the time had never come when be could write to her. He had left her free, and as the years went by, bringing nothing but persist' ent failure, he knew that it was not for him to possess the only thing he count- ed worth having. Occasionally scraps of Intelligence as to the course her life had taken drifted to him. Her father bad died, and she had gone to live with a wealthy aunt in London. From stray papers that reached him he learned that her beauty bad caused quite a sen- sation in society. Then at last came the news that she had married a for- eigner of great position, Prince Zan- dra. IIe wondered If she ever thought of him—remembered the night he had confessed bis love to her. Not a day had passed in those long years of fail- ure but her image had been before him. Now, at length, when he had achieved some slight success, It was too late. All that was left for him was to take the absurd little journey of sentiment. Early next morning be traveled to Beaulieu. He got out at the railway station and, following the path that led round to St. Jean, passed the fish- ing village and gained the Point. There he sank down on the ground and gave himself up to his reflections. It was a perfect morning, a cloudless sky, the air soft and pregnant with the per- fume of the roses that grew right to the edge of the tiny cliff. Some 30 feet below him was the sea, not a ripple on its smooth surface, the clear blue tints gleaming in the sunshine. Presently he was aware of a woman gazing curiously at him. The next moment they had recognized one an- other. She went suddenly pale, and her lips parted in wonder. "Ralph!" she gasped. oon lug s at ght, the da R•as ght oad his led be- he re- or- he eHe to lis er of up o, nd g• fie d. e. er of sh t- er n d ed r, m- r- 0- g 10 u- e y t n e e d 0 r r re d 0 He looked at her mutely.

She held out her band, and he took it awkwardly. - "And to think it is you after all these years!" she said softly. Hlppesley did not speak. His thoughts bad flown back a dozen years to the night when he had left her. An indefinable idea came to him that she, too, was thinking of the same thing, "I won't lie," he said abruptly. " am not here by chance. I heard yo were on the Riviera, and after a these years I wanted to see you agai Puff Paste, Plain Paste and Tempting Confections of Their Kind. Puff paste and plain piste are the two forms of pastry which go to the making of pies, tarts, patties, vol au vents and "sticks" of .various kinds. For these two pastes and some of their tempting adaptations Fannie M. Farm- er gives the following recipes in The Household: Puff Paste.—Wash n half pound of butter and pat and fold until no water files. Reserve oue tablespoonful of the butter and shape the remainder into a piece a half inch thick. Work 11 the reserved butter into half a pound of pastry flour, moisten to a dougl• with cold water, turn on slight!;. floured cloth and knead one minute: cover and let stand five Minutes. Pat and roll into a rectangular piece, hav- ing the paste quarter of an inch thick. Place the butter on the paste at the right of the center. Cover the butter —just to see you; I had no notion of speaking." She gazed at him steadily, as if try- ing to read his thoughts. "You have loved me all this time?" she asked slowly. Ile bowed his head. She turned away with a little sob. "And you never wrote!" she cried, "Oh, why didn't you write?" "I was a failure—such an utter fail- ure I could not write to claim you," he said hoarsely. "You did well. I wasn't worth waiting for." She looked at him, the tears glisten- ing in her eyes. "What a jumble fate made of our lives!" she sighed. "It did not matter. You are the Prin- cess Zandra." "Oil, I am tired—tired to death of it all!" she cried in a tone of utter weari- ness. "To have to live in an artificial world, among people who are not my people—there is no one left to me now— and to have to begin it all over again," she added in a half sorrowful, musing tone. He understood. He remembered the words he had overheard at the cafe. It was all true, then. She looked up at him quickly, with a smile. "But you, Ralph; what have you done?" she asked gently. "For years nothing. Now, at last, I've got a small estate in Ceylon. It's a fair living, while I work hard—not a bad life, too, for a man who has lost his ambitions." "No, not a bad life," she repeated "A lonely one, though." She gave a little laugh. There was an infinite note of sadness in it. "As lonely as mine has been!" She lifted her head, and their eyes met. He read something in her gaze— a something that sent him trembling Prom head to foot. "My God, Esme!" he cried. "If—if you were not the Princess Zandra!" He saw her eyes suddenly shine, the color rush to her cheeks. "Remember only that I am a pool woman again," she whispered; "that I've never forgotten, never could for- get"— Her voice died away. His brain was in a whirl. It seemed hardly possible. "But the life!" he cried. "Think, after all, you've"— "I only loved once. It was you I thought had forgotten"— The low, soft voice came to a stop. They stood looking into one another's eyes. "Don't send me back to the old lift again, Ralph," she murmured,—Manly About People. Still Readable. Mr. Hawley looked down at his wife with pitying indulgence as she sat bus- ily writing in a small book the day aft- er Christmas. "Copying that old list of names and presents, my dear, I sup- pose," he said lightly. "Now, how much better it would be If you would just exerci%e your memory as I do mine and save all this writing year after year. Why, I sent 40 presents," re peated Mr. Hawley, rising on his toes and falling on his heels to emphasize, his statement, "and yet I make no note of them save in my mind, my dear." "I know you're wonderful In that way, Henry," said little Mrs. Hawley meekly, "but I'm sure I should make mistakes if I didn't keep a list. Oh, here's a letter that came for you from Jack in the last mail this afternoon," The indulgent smile lingered on Mr. Hawley's face as he opened his letter, but it faded and his color heightened as be read his nephew's communication: Dear Uncle—Thank you very much for the hand- some copy of "vanity Fair." I am sure, as father says, that I shall enjoy reading it just as much as I did when you gave It to me last year and the year before and the year before that. Your affec- tionate nephew, Jack. —Exchange. She Stopped the Car. When a Fourth avenue car bound down town approached Eighteenth street the other morning a determined looking woman asked the conductor to btop the car at the corner. He nodded and evidently forgot all about it. The car rolled past Eighteenth street with- out stopping. The woman arose and With an angry glance at the conductor began ringing up fares. She evidently had tried that method of stopping a car before, for when the conductor gave the motorman a sharp signal to stop and the car did stop abruptly she said triumphantly: "I thought that would remind you." "But you have rung up five fares," said the conductor. "Then why didn't you stop at Eight- eenth street?" asked the woman. "It serves you just right," and off she flounced. The other passengers smiled appreciatively, and the conductor made a careful count of the money in his Pockets.—New York Sun. A Startler.

LEMON PIE AND ORANGE STICKS. by folding the paste lengthwise, press- ing the edges to inclose as much air as possible. Fold the paste above and be low the inclosed butter. Turn the paste half way round, pat and roll quarter of an incl! thick. Fold from the ends toward the center, making three layers, and pat and roll quarter of an inch thick. Repeat this process four times. - Pat and roll out once more, then fold from ends to center and double, making four layers. Chill thoroughly before using. Plain Paste.—To one and a half cup• fuls of flour add a half teaspoonful of salt and quarter of a cupful of lard. Work with the tips of the fingers until well mixed. Moisten to a dough with cold water and proceed the same as in puff paste, folding In quarter of a cupful of washed butter. Three roll- ings are generally sufficient for plain paste, and it may be used as soon as made. Lemon Pie Filling,—Beat three eggs slightly, add two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, quarter of a cupful of lemon juice, the grated rind of half a !onion and two tablespoonfuls of water. Meringue For Pie.—Beat the whites of three eggs until stiff, add gradually four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, beating vigorously; fold in lightly three and a half tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and a half teaspoonful of lemon extract- Cover the pie with meringue and mark with the handle of a caseknife, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake in a moderate oven eight minutes. Orange Sticks.—Cut plait' paste rolled one-eighth inch thick in strips five inches long by one inch wide and bake in a hot oven. Put together in pairs, with orange filling between. Orange Filling,—Mix one-half cupful of sugar, two and a half tablespoonfuls of flour, the grated rind of one-half orange, one-fourth cupful of orange juice, one-half tablespoonful of lemon juice, one egg slightly beaten and one teaspoonful of butter. Cook ten min- utes in a double boiler, stirring con- stantly. Cool before spreading. Paper Napery and Knickknacks.

The alkaline salts which are contain- ed in green vegetables make them al- most as valuable as a spring medicine. Let your marketman understand em- phatically that you will not pay for greens that are wilted, speckled with yellow leaves and dusty. Deal where goods are not set out to the gaze of the public on the sidewalk. Street dust and dirt incrust vegetables, destroy their life and render them unfit for use. The first requisite in the cooking of spring greens is the most particular picking over and washing. Trim off roots and decayed leaves and wash tboroughTy, lifting the greens from one pan of cold water into another until not a vestige of sand is left in the pan. Boil beets, milkweed, cowslips, dande- lions and beet greens in boiling salted water. They will probably require about an hour's cooking. Drain per- fectly dry, season with butter, pepper and salt and serve with vinegar. Spin- ach, if young aul tender, should be cooked in its own 511sces. Put it in a large kettle without water and place over a rather slow fire till the juice is drawn out; then boil till tender. Drain and chop fine. Add a tablespoonful of butter, salt, pepper and, if desired, a little thin cream sauce. A nice way for cooking young carrots is to boil till tender, drain, cut in slices and saute lightly in butter. Serve with a thin white sauce flavored with a blade of mace and cover with a cup of green peas. Another nice way for cook- ing carrots is to lay them when sauted in a baking pan, pour over half a cup of stock, a tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar and a quarter teaspoonful of salt. Bake till the car- rots are browned and the stock is a tnere glaze. Lettuce needs as careful washing as greens. Keep it in ice cold water till crisp, then drain and lay in a towel to dry. A useful thing for keeping let- tuce is a wire basket. Hang it in the refrigerator. Use the inside leaves for salad, the outer leaves to be saved for wilted lettuce, a favorite dish in New York state. After frying ham remove to a platter and into the hot fat lay the lettuce leaves, adding a little salt, pep- per and vinegar. Put on a lid and cook them till they wilt. Serve with the ham as a side dish. Another way to keep lettuce is in a napkin on ice, the head having been pulled to piecestand washed.—Good Housekeeping. A Useful Little Frock.

The Latest Wedding Gift. While the edict has gone forth that only white embroidery may be used for the dinner table, there are many house- keepers who refuse to give up the beau- tiful doilies embroidered in floral de- signs that have been such a feature of table decoration for several years past. For those who follow the custom of serving breakfast and luncheon on a polished table top with the doilies spread upon it without the usual cloth nothing can take the place of the ex- quisite floral centerpieces and plate mats. As wedding gifts these sets em- broidered in the favorite blossom of the bride are very much in evidence, forming a pleasant relief to the cut glass and silver which make such a formidable array on these occasions, says the New York Sun.

There was once a Woman who Felt that her Husband staid Out too Late at Night. She therefore Devised a Plan to Cure him of this. Her Plan was to Rise Early in order to Insure his Retiring Early, "Only in this Way will he be able to get Enough Sleep," she said. Her Husband, who usually Endeav- ored to Please her, rose Without Com- plaint at Six O'clock, but Continued to stay Out Late- Perceiving that her Purpose was not Accomplished, the Woman changed the Hour to Five O'clock. "The Morning Hours are the Beat for Work," she said, "and I understand that the Morning Air possesses Great Virtues." Her Husband Objected, but Rose at Five, as she Wished. Still be continued to Come In Late. Then the Woman fixed the Hour at Four -thirty. "I have always enjoyed Seeing the Sun Rise," she said. "In that Case," said her Husband decidedly, "I Shall Not go to bed At All, since it would Not be Worth my While. I will Stay up All Night and take my Sleep at My Office in the Afternoon, So We will have Break- fast at Three O'clock if you like." This teaches us that the Early Worm will Turn.—Century. Always Willing to Oblige, It was a Texas town, and a long limbed Texan was making across the public square toward the courthouse with a revolver in his hand when he was stopped by a man who asked: "Are you on your way to the court- house?" "Yes, sir; I am," was the reply. "Going to shoot anybody?" "Yes, sir; Lawyer Johnson. If it hadn't been for him, I shouldn't have lost my case yesterday. Yes, sir; going to fill him full of lead." "Are you in any great hurry about it?" "No special hurry, but when I have shooting on hand I like to get it off my mind as soon as possible." "Of course; but, you see, Lawyer Johnson is now arguing a case for me and won't be through for 40 minutes. He's going to win it for sure if not in- terrupted, and if you will only hold on for awhile you will do me a great fa- vor." "Why, certainly; glad you mentioned it; no hurry about the shooting so as it comes off today, and you can count on me. Have a drink with you? With the greatest of pleasure, and if John- son is a particular friend of yours I'll shoot him as softly as I can and give him every show to die like a gentle- man."—Boston Globe. The Useful Telephone. Two young ladies on St. Paul street went to the theater the other evening, and their father, thinking they had a latchkey, went to bed at his usual hour, and the servants all left. When the la- dies returned, they rang the bell re- peatedly and beat on the door, but got no answer. Finally they began to de- spair, when a neighbor who had been awakened by the din appeared in white at his window opposite and asked what was the matter. "We are locked out and cannot awake papa," came the reply in duet. "Wait a minute," said the quick wit- ted man on the other side of the.street: "Your father bas a telephone in his room, and I will call him up." So the central was called. "GIve me number —," said the neighbor. As soon as the bell sounded in the room of the sleeping father be awoke with a start and ran to the telephone. "Hello, what is the matter?" "Is that you, So-and-so?" "Yes; what is wanted?" "Your daughters are at the front door trying to get ill. Open the door. Good night."—Baltimore Sun. Barbers of Spain. The ba'rber's business in Spain is pe- culiar in that he is called upon to ply his shears on donkeys as well as men, for it is an important item in the care of Spanish donkeys that they should be sheared as to the back in order to make a smoother resting place for man or pannier. So, while the master held his animal, one of the barbers plied some enormous clacking shears and lit- tered the ground with mouse colored hair, leaving the beast's belly fur cov- ered below a fixed line and for a small additional price executing a raised pat- tern of star points around the neck. The tonsorial profession is an indis- pensable one in a country where shav- ing the whole face is generally prac- ticed among all the humbler orders, not to mention toreros and ecclesias- tics. But the discomfort to which the barber's customers submit Is astonish- ing. Instead of being pampered, sooth- ed, labored at with confidential re- spectfulness and lulled into luxurious harmony with himself, as happens in America, a man who courts the razor in Spain has to sit upright In a stiff chair and meekly hold under his chin a brass basin full of suds and fitting bis throat by means of a curved nick at one side. aSave Me From My Friends." This saying is commonly attributed to Voltaire, who at Ferney when pew tered by professions of insincere friend- ship said, "I pray God to deliver me from my friends; I will defend myself from my enemies." The thought, however, is attributed by the French to Marshal Villars, while Kant discovers it in an Italian proverb, and a German collection of proverbial wisdom gives it in a modi- fied form. Antigonus, one of the gen- erals of Alexander the Great, offered sacrifice that the gods might protect him from his friends and at the same time declaring he could look after his enemies himself. Churchill has some- thing of the idea in the lines: Greatly his foes he dreads, but most his friends; He hurts the most who lavishly commends. Then and Now.

Pure silk, when it Las been through ull the processes necessary to bring out all its good qualities, is worth Its weight in silver said au expert the other day. There •fore the women who expect to buy pure silk at little more than the price of cotton must expect to be tooled. and there are lots of ways by which the tuanufacturer gets even with thew. They make stuff that is called silk and passes for it" with credulous per - sous who don't know auy better out of nearly any ofd thing now. One favor- ite imitation sill* is wade of cellulose -treated with chemicals. It isn't a good teaterial to -get on tire In. Then there are south sea island cottons and some mercerized cotton which after treat- ment look something like silk. though of course they wear very d:.erentiy, and their silken appearance soon van- ishes. But it is in adulterating goods which really have some silk in them that the greatest skill Is exercised to deceive the buyer. To obtain the required rus- tle and body rough floss is often used for the woof of the material. This soon causes it to wear shiny. Another trick is to inereas.- the weight and apparent solidity of a flim- sy silk material by using metallle salts in the dye vats. Pressing with some kinds of silk increases the weight also. but at the sacrifice of strength. Cheap, crackly, stiff silk which has heavy cords is good silk to avoid. it won't wear. There are several tests which reveal readily the purity of a piece of silk. The microscope of course will show it at once, even to an unpracticed 'eye. Pure silk has the appearance of fine, smooth tubes. Another good test is by burning. Pure silk burns slowly. with a slight odor. Cotton flares up quickly and would throw off a decidedly disa- greeable smell. -. Then the tongue will readily reveal the presence of metallic salts. There is no mistaking their taste. But all these way be disregarded, said the expert, when silk is offered for the price of cot- ton. Yuu need not bother to test that stuff.—New York Sun. LINCOLN ADOPTED IT. His Famous Phrase, "Of the People.' Originated by Theodore Parker. William H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, knew Theodore Parker well and -had much correspondence with htipand after the Lincoln -Douglas de - haft, he came on to Boston and saw Park-er and other antislavery men with an eye to Lincoln's political prospects. Going back to Springfield, be took with him some of Parker's hewer sermons and addresses. "One of them," he says iu his "Abraham Lineoln," "was a lecture on 'The Effect of :ilav'ery ou the American People,' which was de- livered in the Music hall. Boston; and which I gave to Lincoln. who read and returned it. He liked especially the following expression, which he marked with a pencil and which he in sub- stance afterward used in . his Gettys- burg address: 'Democracy is direct self government, over all the people, by all the people, for all the people.' " The address referred to (Parker's last great antislavery address) was delivered July 4, 1858. Here, I suhutit. was the probable ori- gin of Lincoln's phrase. In one vieriant or another it was a great favorite with Parker. often taking the exact form that I."nenln gave it, with his sure in- tuition of the best where there was any choice of words. In a speech delivered by Parker in 1850 we find it imbedded in a passage which might have been the inspiration of Seward's famous "irrepressible conflict" or Lincoln's "house divided against itself," a view to which Parker continually recurred. In two other speeches it stands "gov- ernment of all the people, by all the people, for -all the people." Its earliest appearance that i have discovered in his writings is in a letter to Rev. Sam- uel J. May In 1848, where it is simply "government of all, by all, for all."— Review of Reviews. Antiquity of Man. From a review in Science of De Mor- tillet's great work on prehistoric times the following is condensed. Twelve chapters are devoted to the question of tertiary wan. It is concluded that while man did not exist during this period, precursors of man more intelli- gent than any of the living anthropoids did exist. Pithecanthropus erectus is consider- ed as the immediate precursor of man. The Calaveras skull is rejected. The paleolithic period is considered as cor- responding to the early quarternary, and 222,000 years Is assigned as the length of this period. Add to this num- ber 10,000 years for the protohistoric and neolithtc periods and 6,000 years more for the historic period, and we have 238,000 years, which is, according to the authors, a moderate estimate of man's antiquity. When Corks Float Upright. A cork which is longer than it is broad, which is the case with all ordi- nary corks, floats upon its side, so to speak. How can we make it float upon its head? Place one on end upon a table and around it place six others. Seize them ell together and plunge them under wa- ter so as to wet them completely. Then remove your hand gently and let them take their own position in the water, when you will find that they will stand upright, as if supporting one another. This is because the water that pene- trates the cork will make them cling together. CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS. French Set+must Claims That Worm■ Predate the Disease. Professor Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute, iu Paris, declares that appen- dicitls is due to the presence of certain worms in the intestines and their peue- (tratiou into the vermiform appendix. 1 Professor Dtetchnikoff's conclusions are the result of ten years of observa- tion, including microscopic examina- tions of the excreta of persons suffer- ing from the disease and also of appen- dix extracted from patients who have been operated upon. He says that dur- ing late years the periodical taking of vermifuge medication has been gener- ally neglected by the public, and to this he ascribes the present greater fre- quency of the malady. He also points out that another cause of its great frequency is the increased consumption of raw fruits and salads which are hurriedly raised in gardens near cities where sewage likely to con- tain the eggs of intestinal worms is used as fertilizer. He advises in cases of suspected ap- pendicitis a helmenthologic examina- tion of excreta, vermifuge medications and the absolute elimination of raw fruit, particularly strawberries and raw vegetables, from the diet. He says also that only water that has been boil- ed or well filtered should be drunk. The statement that raw fruit and vegetables are a cause of appendicitis contrasts singularly with Dr. Cbam- pionniere's diatribe"against an excess- ive meat diet as being a contributory cause. But, paradoxical though it may seem when thus presented, the distil gnashed scientists are by no means con- tradictory. pr. Champlonniere says "Purge." Professor Metchnikoff says "Take vermifuge medicine." Diseases Has -e an Odor. Dr. McCa::sy declares that every doc- tor should be able to diagnose measles. diphtheria, typhoid fever, consutup:!oi: and even epilepsy by the smell. as ev ery one has an especial odor when dis- ease is present. Thus in case of favus the patient -exhales the odor of trice. In rheumatism there is an odor of acid that is very easily recognized. In cases of pynemik the breath is nauseating in its smell. In scurvy, too, there is a pu trid odor. In peritonitis the odor is like musk; in case of scrofula like sour beer. In ordinary fever there is au ammoniacal odor. In intermittent fe- ver the odor is like that of fresh baked bread. Among hysterical women there are many delightful odors, violet and pineapple being most manifest.—Doc- tor's Magazine. A Sure Test For Death. Considerable interest has been arous- ed by the discovery of Dr. Ottolenghi, professor of medical jurisprudence at the University of Siena. that the Roent- gen rays will not penetrate the lungs of a corpse. He has ascertained that while the rays may be applied to the lungs of a person In whom there is the least spark of life, as soon as the per- son is dead his lungs become impervi- ous to the application of the rays. Re- peated tests have given 'the same re- sult, so there can be no doubt of the efficacy of the rays as a means for de- termining positively the state of death. Latest in Submarine Boats. The latest design for a submarine boat is prepared by a Baltimore man and shows one interesting departure from all other models. This consists of two propellers mounted on the top of the boat, one at each end. The boat also has two side propellers at the stern. The top propellers are pitched at a slight angle from the horizoutal plane, and they rotate in opposite di- rections. They will assist two other propellers in moving the boat forward or backward as well as in causing it to sink. Makes Fuel of Earth. E. J. Hoffman of Omaha says be has set the earth afire. Crude petroleum. be says, mixed with common earth (gumbo and sand alone excluded), with the addition of two other ingredients, the nature of which constitutes his secret. will make a fuel that will burn better and with a cleaner fire than pine knots. Seventy-five per cent of this decoction is mother earth. The expense of the other three ingredients is only a trifle. His fuel costs $2.50 a ton. Triumph For Electrical Furnace. Still another triumph has to be writ- ten down to the credit of the electrical furnace. It Is now found possible to reduce phosphorus electrolytically in a wanner as simple as economical. Phosphate rock is treated under the electric arc and the vapors reduced by suitable cooling means and the result- ing phosphorus collected and treated in the customary way. Robber Tubing That Defies Heat. A rubber tubing that is not readily damaged by heat bas been brought out by a firm near Berlin. The ordinary tubing is given a covering of asbestus, which in turn Is coated with incombus- tible paint, and such tubes are not lia- ble to Injury from accidental contact with flame or hot dishes.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER 00., NO WILLIAM STREET, NEW YORK. • Stealing a Court Secret. Once when Justice W. of the United States supreme court reached Pitts- burg on circuit a Mr. Wright enter- tained him. There was a ease pending then in the supreme court which in- volved the values of two stocks. The decision was certain to make one of the stocks valueless and the other val- uable. It was considered an even chance which way the decision would go. The lawyers in the case had set- tled it in their minds that if Justice B. were to write the decision it would be in their favor. The justice was noted for writing long decisions. The ma- jority of the amen on the bench at that time wrote briefly. Justice W. was en- tErtained at dinner at Mr. Wright's house. After the dinner Justice W. be- came companionable and good natured. In the midst of conversation about the court and its work Mr. Wright said to Justice W., mentioning the case In which he was interested, "I suppose that the decision In that case will be a long one, there being so r-:nny points involved." "As long as the moral law, my boy," said the old justice as he smiled benevolently upon his host. That was all that he said upon the sub- ject. Mr. Wright, however, knew from this remark that it was the particular justice who wrote long decisions who was preparing the one in this case. This gave him the cue for the deci- sion, and he bought stock based upon this judgment. It proved correct—and he gained exactly $200,000 from this careless remark of the too amiable jus- tice. Not Fordable. During one of bis expeditions in the Philippines General Lawton came across the trail of a party of Filipinos, which he followed for several days with a small body of troops. One day he and his staff reached the top of a small eminence and saw a river stretch- ing below them but a short distance ahead. Turning to one of his aids, the general said, "Lieutenant, ride ahead and see if that river is fordable." The lieutenant put spurs to his horse and soon entered the river. A few feet from the shore the bottom shelved off suddenly, and the horse was soon floun- dering in deep water. The lieutenant disengaged lyimself and swam to the shore, which the horse also reached in a short time. After a brief chase, to the amusement of the general and the staff, the horse was recaptured, and, mounting him, the lieutenant rode back. His khaki uniform was soaked and bedraggled, and the water spurted from the tops of his military boots at every jump of his horse. Riding up to the general, he gravely saluted and said, "1 have the honor to report, sir, that the river is not fordable." Lawton looked at him a moment try- ing to maintain the dignity of his posi- tion, but the situation' was too ludi- crous for him. Ile burst into a hearty laugh, in which the stall joined at the expense of the young lieutenant, who. however, tells the story on himself. It Came in Handy. Poet -1 left a poem here the other day.

Electricity Now En_ployed as an Aid In Hearing. Electricity is now he ng used as au auditory aid to the deaf. Within the last two or three years; says a writer in the New "York Tribune, experiments have been made with instruments re- sembling the telephone by M. 11. Hutchison, a bright young electrical engineer who has come to New York to live, and Dr. Samuel G. Tracy, a phy- sician who employs electricity in a va- riety of ways for remedial purposes. These two inventors have worked in- dependently of each other, and their methods diner in detail, but they both HUTCHISON TRANSMITTER IN USE. make use of three devices—a storage battery, a transmitter and a receiver. The last two are connected by wires with the battery and consequently with each other. There are two styles of receiving in- struments. One is held in the hand, like a lorgnette, and ministers to one ear only. In its handle is a tiny switch which turns the current on or off, so that it may not be wasted when it is not required. The other form of instru- ment is clasped over the head by a light spring and carries two earpieces. The transmitter is also found in two forms. Mr. I-Iutchison's may be laid on a table near the listener or in the latter's lap, several feet away from the speaker. At present Dr. Tracy's is meant to be held in the speaker's hand. This apparatus is not yet fully devel- oped, however, and he aims eventually to modify the present arrangement. There are points of difference between the two styles of storage battery em- ployed, but these need not be pointed out here. It is said that a number of well known men and women in New York have tried the electrical apparatus just described both in their homes and at the opera and theater. A dining table has been equipped with transmitters at every place and a receiver for the host- ess. Thus she is able to enjoy the con- versation of the whole company. Black Teeth. The custom of women in Japan at marriage giving their teeth an ever- lasting coating of blacking Is practiced no by only a small percentage, but there are still seen in the cities hun- dreds of women hideous with black ivory, and dentists' showcases contain sets of black teeth. Mrs. Gilbert and Augustin Daly. "The pleasantest recollections of my stage life are those connected with the governor," said Mrs. John Gilbert. "We never called him Mr. Daly—that is, we older ones, who knew him well. "He never bothered much with Jim Lewis and myself. He had more trou- ble with John Drew and Ada Rehan. They were young and needed looking after, you kinow. "He was very set in his ways, and if he took a fancy to a piece of stage fur- niture he invariably introduced it into every play. He had a pair of large, dark blue majolica vases which were the bane of my life. They were always placed near a doorway in such a man- ner that you had to have the dreadful things always on your mind or you would run into them. "I had complained several times to the governor and begged him to put them in the storeroom, but he had tak- en a fancy to them, and they remained. "Well, one day I did knock one of them down, and it was smashed to bits. The governor never said a word, but he looked volumes. He was arranging the interior for a new play a few days later, and in one scene I had to faint on a lounge. "'Tom,' he said to the stage hand, 'see that that lounge is good and strong, for Mrs. Gilbert is very gawky, and It would ruin the scene if she smashed it when she fainted.' "That was all, but I knew that he knew how tkat vase was broken."— New York Herald. The Universal Cry—Wanted, a Mag. Never did the world call more loudly for young men with force, energy and purpose, young men trained to do some one thing, than today. Though hun- dreds of thousands are out of employ- ment, yet never before was 1t so hard to get a good employee for almost any position as today. Everywhere people are asking where to find a good serv- ant, a polite and efficient clerk, an hon- est cashier, a good stenographer who can spell and punctuate and is general- ly well informed. Managers and super- intendents of great institutions every- where are hunting for good people to fill all sorts of positions. They tell us that it is almost impossible to find effi- cient help for any department. There are hundreds of applicants for every vacant place, but they either show signs of dissipation, are rude or gruff in manner, are slouchy or slip- shod in dress, are afraid of hard work, lack education or training or have some fatal defects which bar them out. Even If they are given positions very few are able to hold them, and so this great ar- my tramps about from store to store, from office to factory, wondering why others succeed when they fail, why oth- ers get the positions when they are de- nied.

How Much Gold Is Lost. The annual loss of gold is very great. The amount of gold currency lost annu- ally by wear and tear alone is consider- able. One expert estimates it at 11/2 per cent of the total amount in circula- tion or about $37,500,000 for gold and silver combined. On this basis it may be calculated that the annual loss which actually takes place in gold alone by wear and tear is about $20.000,000. Contests of Eggs. From the remotest ages the egg has been looked upon as the symbol of ere- ation, of new birth. According to the Persians, the world was hatched from an egg at that season of the year which corresponds to the vernal equinox. Ilence the Parsecs still exchange gifts of colored eggs at the new year festi- val, which they celebrate at this date, Among the Jews the egg entered into all the mysterious ceremonies called apocalyptic and occupied a prominent position on the household table during the paschal season. Christianity in - 1 vested the paschal egg with a new sig- nificance—namely, that of the resur- rection of Christ, and it was colored red in allusion to his blood shed for sinners on the Bross. A curious custom In nteditrval church- es, for priests and choristers to join in a game of ball at Eastertide, took its rise from the Easter egg. which was thrown from one to the other of the choristers In the nave of the church while an anthem was being sung. As a missed egg meant a smashed egg, the more durable handball was substituted But the smashing of eggs continued as a form of outdoor sport. Survivals are to be found among all Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon people. A popular game in England and Germany con- sists in hitting one egg against anoth- er, the egg that survives uncracked winning for Its owner the weaker an- tagonist, until an entire basket of eggs may have changed ownership. Auoth- er game is to trundle eggs down a hill or slope, those which reach the bottom uncracked being similarly victorious over the others. Tale of a Frugal Bishop. "There used to be In a city in which I lived," said a Cleveland man. "a cer- tain bishop who. while posses. ed of the highest principles and whose aims and ambitions iii life were of the highest character, at the same time united with these a penuriousness in money mat- ters that caused innumerable stories illustrative of this failing to be tacked upon him. One of these related to a certain church conference which the bishop and other dignitaries of the church at one time attended. "At one of the weetiugs the bishop in endeavoring to open a letter neatly wltb his penknife was so unfortunate as to allow the latter to slip and to cut a finger severely. The injured member bled profusely, and a hasty search for court plaster ensued. There being none forthcoming. a clergyman standing by fished out his cardcase and, extracting from it a 5 cent stamp, the smallest priced stamp he had, of- fered it to the bishop to use as a suL- stitute for.tbe much needed court plas- ter. "The bishop accepted it gratefully and in his turn took out his own card - case. In it he placed the 5 cent stamp and then, producing a 1 cent specimen of his own, be pasted it over the still bleeding wound."—New York Tribune. Mulcting Wagner. Wagner when a young man wrote a sonata which had a fair success, but in after life be made every effort to sup- press R. Going to the publisher, he said, "Have you any copies of that mis- erable thing still unsold?" "Yes," was the reply; "I have quite a number of them in stock." "Send therm to me at once, with a bill," said the composer. A thousand copies were soon after- ward delivered at his door. The bill was a big one, but it was paid, some- what grudgingly, and Wagner thought be had done with the thing. What was his surprise, then, at receiving two or three months later on another con- signment, this time of 500 copies. "I thought you had only a thousand of these things," he protested. "That was all I had in stock," explained the dealer, "but these have been returned by my agents, to whom I wrote that you wished to have the sonata sup- pressed." Wagner winced, but there was nothing for it but to pay the bill. And thereafter whenever business was dull with this crafty publisher a few hundred copies of the sonata would be struck oft on shopworn paper and de- livered at the composer's door, with a memorandum to the effect that they had just come back from remote places where they bad been sent for sale. John Allen's Pair. When the house voted to prohibit liq- uor selling in army canteens, John Al- len of Mississippi was not recorded. Some good women of Mississippi noted the fact that be did not vote and called on him for au explanation, knowing that Mr. Allen had been at one time quite active in the Congres- sional Temperance soc'ety. Mr. Allen replied that he was paired on the can- teen question. "You see, ladies," he said, "the situation was this: My wife thinks very much as you do about this legislation In regard to the canteen. I have some doubts as to whether con- gress will really promote temperance among soldiers to this way. So I pair- ed my judgment with my wife's con- science and decided not to vote."—St. Louis Globe -Democrat. A Misplaced Letter. The transposition of letters in the same word sometimes produces the most ludicrous results. In "The Stili Hour," which was written by Profess- or Phelps, Is the fine line, "The still- ness of the hour is the stillness of a dead calm at sea." A large number was printed and disposed of before it was discovered that "clam" had been printed for "calm." The largest sponge dver sent to mar. ket was from the Mediterranean. It was ten feet In circumference and three in diameter. Tie Galloping White Hearse. It was in the dark of the evening, and the streets were thronged with men and women on their way home at the end of the day's work. At Thirty- fourth street, where Broadway and Sixth avenue cross with a network of tracks, the usual clangor of gongs, the shouts of newsboys and the roar of the elevated trains filled the air, while myriad electric lights sparkled like so many stars. Suddenly out of the gloom came a little white hearse, being driven rapid- ly home. Its sad day's work was over, and the little horses were probably anxious for their dinner. Still it gave one a shock to see them galloping so. Even more pathetic it looked when empty than with its precious little bur- den. The very emptiness spoke of the vacant little chair at home, the unused toys, the unworn frocks folded away for some woman to cry over on a rainy day. Fathers hurrying home to their own little ones felt a sudden lump in the throat, mothers leading their children grasped the little hands with a quick access of tenderness, and a strange, sad sense of loneliness came to the heart of the passerby who bad no child to lose. Just a little white hearse, seen only for a moment in the gather- ing darkness by the hurrying throng, but what a world of pathos it suggest- ed!—New York Mail and Express. Artificial Legs. The most lifelike and serviceable- ar- tificial legs in the world are manufac- tured in America. Enormous quanti- ties of these limbs are shipped to Eu- rope every year. The first great boom in the artificial leg business was brought about by the civil war. Since that time railroad and trolley car accidents have kept up an ever increasing demand. Another fac- tor bas been the general use of antisep- tics. The mortality among those who Lave their legs amputated is far less than formerly, and a large proportion of the survivors become patrons of the wooden leg factories. The old fashioned peg leg is practical- ly a thing of the past. The modern ar- tificial leg shows a great advance over the old forms. Every improvement has been with the idea of greater simplic- ity. The main object of the manufactur- ers is to improve the fit of the legs. The best models now cost $100. It costs from $5 to $25 a year to keep one of these in order. Few women wear artificial legs. On the other hand, it is becoming more common to fit limbs to children. Legs are made for children sometimes be- fore they can walk. They are fitted as soon as the child learns to stand and make it possible for it to develop sym- metrically. Where Was the Swindle? "Ethel," said Lionel Bertram Jones as he dropped his slice of bread in the plate with a noise that set the canary in the gilt cage overhead chirping mer- rily. "Ethel, I have something to say to you." They had been married only four weeks, and the time had not arrived when she did all the saying. "Do you remember the day on which I proposed to you?" "Yes," she replied. "I will never for- get it." "Do you remember," he went on as he abstractedly drilled a hole in the loaf with the point of a carving knife, "how when I rang the bell you came to the door with your fingers sticky with dough and said you thought it was your little brother who wanted to get in?" "Yes." "Oh, Ethel! How could you? How could you?" "How could I what?" she responded as a guilty look crept into her face. "How could you make me the victim of such a swindle?"—London Tit -Bits. Just Making Sure. An old farmer in Scotland once went to have a troublesome tooth extracted. Said the dentist after looking at the of- fending molar: "It is a very ugly one. I would ad- vise you to have it out by the painless system. It is only a shilling extra." He showed the farmer the apparatus for administering gas, remarking that it would cause him to fall asleep for a minute, and before he awoke the tooth would be ot:. After a slight resistance the sufferer consented, proceeding to open his purse. "Oh, never mind paying just now!" said the dentist kindly. "Hoots!" answered the cautious old Scot.

Auge, who thought at first it was a log or snag lodged against the boat. Ile notified Coroner F. W. Kramer, who went up to investigate. It could not be identified, but is believed to have been in the water some time. He was about forty years of age, with sandy mustache, and wore a blue flannel shirt, black necktie, dark pantaloons, duck coat, cap, dark shoes, and gaiters. In his pockets were a small amount of money, knife, etc. The coroner telegraphed in Tuesday for a rig, and the body was brought down and placed in the vault at Lakeside. A Noonday Blase. The double house of Mrs. Catherine Reed, near the Indian Spring on west Fourth Street, was partially burned early yesterday afternoon, taking fire from the chimney.

Fair- child of Chicago, "and such a one be- fell a friend of mine some time ago. The friend in question was city editor of a great daily, and in the course of his Manifold duties it fell to his lot to take to task erne of his reporters. The reporter in question was an English- man, slow of thought and action and miserly of speech. Through the tirade to which he was subjected be said nothing, and when it finally ended he left the presence of 'his superior with- out any comment. "But, as the result proved, he did some tall thinking. City editors when 'riled; as is well known, are not par- ticularly choice or economical in the language they bestow on their unfor- tunate reporters, and among other things the Englishman had been told that he was no better than -in fact, was -a crazy man and that his proper habitat was a lunatic asylum and not the hall bedroom of a Chicago board - Ing house which he occupied. "The Englishman took this part of the city editor's remarks as his text and acted upon them. He promptly went to an any' 'rn, had himself thoroughly examined by three or four alienists and secured from them an official cer- tificate to the fact that he was sane. With this he appeared at the office of his paper the next day, and, entering the editor's sanctum, he slapped it down before his astonished and dis- mayed superior. 'Now, you go and get one,' was his only comment and for once that city editor capitulated." - New York Tribune. The Clothes Moth. We may marvel at grubs growing fat and succulent upon such unpromising tare as old timber affords, but that achievement is improved upon by the insects that prefer to draw their en- tire nutrition from woolen fabrics, fur, horsehair, feathers, tanned leather and the like and apparently without ever a desire to "wet their whistles" by any- thing of a juicy nature. Any small, silvery winged moth that is seen flit- ting about the house is regarded as a "clothes moth," but every one killed is not an enemy, for there are a number of moths of similar size and appearance that come from outdoors and have been occupied as grubs in destroying green leaves. It is a common error to sup- pose that it is the clothes moth that does the mischief, though by destroy- ing the moth we prevent the laying of innumerable eggs from which come the consuming larvae, whose cutting jaws would be actively and incessantly em- ployed in mutilating choice fabrics and valuable furs. These caterpillars are rarely seen by the housekvife because their first care on leaving the egg Is to disguise or hide themselves. The clothes moth proper has yellow- ish gray wings, with three or four in- definite brownish spots upon them, and in consequence of its marked prefer- ence for furs it is known to science as Tinea pellionella.-Good Words. A Compton Freak. When P. T. Barnum was in the mu- seum business in New York, one of his most jovial friends was Gaylord Clark, a famous litterateur in the days of our fathers. They were a well matched pair of practical jokers. One day when Mr. Clark dropped in at the museum, as NVas his custom, Mr. Bar- num, apparently much excited, hurried his friend into the private office and said: "Gaylord, I was about to send for you. I want your advice. I have a chance to purchase the most wonder- ful of all zoological freaks. It's at first a perfect fish, then it changes to a four legged land animal, then it climbs trees and" - "Bah! You're joking," interjected Mr. Clark. "On my honor I am not," impressive- ly replied the showman. "But the ex- pense." "Oh, hang the expense," interrupted Mr. Clark, brimful of enthusiasm over the business project of his friend. "If you can get any such freak as that, your fortune's made. But what's the thing called?" "Well," replied Mr. Barnum, with Just the faintest suggestion of a twin- kle in his left eye, "it belongs to the batrachfan family of animals and in the vernacular is called the -the -tad- pole!" Superstitions Great Men. Superstition has not only prevented mankind from attaining a superior em- inence of happiness, but what is more deplorable, it bas added in a great de- gree to an already extensive catalogue of earthly miseries. It is not by the ignorant alone that superstitious be- liefs are entertained, but by many emi- nent men of the past and present. Dr. Samuel Johnson was a firm believer in ghosts and second sight. Josephus, the great Jewish historian, relates that he saw the extraordinary sight of an evil spirit being Induced to leave the body of an afflicted mortal upon the applica- tion of Solomon's seal to the patient's nostril. James VI, who was noted for his intellectual attainments and theo- logical learning, was a firm believer in witchcraft- So deep a hold did this absurd notion have on him that he pub- lished a work upholding this doctrine and actually punished all who opposed the belief. -Exchange. A Cheese Roast. Those who insist upon eating cheese should take the precaution to cook it thoroughly before eating. It is for this reason that some people who are un- able to eat raw cheese find themselves able to eat toasted cheese without dif- ficulty. Toasting the cheese does not, however, increase its digestibility, but rather the reverse. Its beneficial effect, if any, is from the destruction of the virulent microbes which are present and which are capable of giving rise to symptoms even more distressing than those of ordinary indigestion. The best method of dealing with cheese is to give it to the pigs, as it Is nothing more or less than decayed milk, fit only for a scavenger diet. - Sanitary and Municipal Engineering. ls;lmbay la an immense city, with laud and sea shipping equal to the best. It has large commerce and trade and manufacturing Interests. Its buildings are said to be the finest In India. An Uncouth Mode of Burial. Of all the modes of burial ever prac- ticed by creatures in the shape of hu- man beings the method of the Queens- land nomads is certainly the most un- couth. After drying the corpse in the sun and knocking out its teeth for keepsakes they deposit it on a frame- work of rough poles and bury it under a few armsful of rushes and old kan- garoo skins, leaving the bush wolves to sing its requiem. No member of the dead man's tribe will settle within a mile of his grave for fear of being haunted by the spooks making the burial place their midnight rendezvous. The metaphys- ical opinions of the Australian aborig- ines prove indeed that savages can be afflicted with an abundance of super- naturalism without betraying a trace of anything deserving the name of re- ligious sentiment. They believe in evil spirits whistling in the blasts of the storm wind and try to exorcise them by spitting in the di- rection of the sky, but for the concep- tions of the deity, of future existence, of repentance, atonement and con- scienoce their language bas not even a definite word. From somewhere in the land of their forefathers -eastern Asia, perhaps -they have imported a notion faintly resembling the Buddhist doc- trine of metempsychosis and believe that animals may be reborn as men and men as human beings of a superior rank. Burr's Self Control. Aaron Burr was by nature and train- ing a man of extraordinary self con- trol. He allowed no circumstances to throw him .off his balance. An anec- dote fold by Rufus Choate to the late Richard H. Dana, recorded in Mr. Dana's "Diary," illustrates the callous- ness which aided Burr so greatly in controlling himself. Several years after the death of Hamilton, killed by Burr in a duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr. Devereux of Salem paid him some at- tentions. The visitor was taken to the Boston atheneum, where, while the two men were walking through the gal- lery of sculpture, Mr. Devereux hap- pened to catch sight of a bust of Ham- ilton. The thought flashed across his mind that Burr -might not care to be con- fronted with the sight of the features of the man he had slain. But no. Burr was undisturbed. He also espied the bust, and, although Mr. Devereux had instinctively turned away, he walked up to it and said in a loud tone: "Ah! Here is Hamilton!" Then, passing his fingers along certain lines of the face, he added, "There was the poetry!" Hamilton's contemporaries gave him credit for possessing a poetic mind. Flattery From the Mirror. Does your mirror do you justice? You may think not. Or perhaps you would like it to flatter you just a little. If so, you can arrange it so the glass will reflect in a more complimentary manner than usual. If you do, you on- ly have to know the milliner's oldest secret, and the thing is done. Did you ever notice the softest drap- ery of pure white hung about a mirror? That is the trick. After your mirror of faultless glass is thoroughly polished frame it in pure white gauze, with the material gathered in the center at the top and falling wavelike on either side. Then notice the effect. The true tints of the complexion will be there a little emphasized. The expression of the countenance, the light of the eye, the color of the hair, will be accurately re- flected, all softened and made more harmonious than your mirror showed them before the gauze was used. You may believe that that subtle bit of white materially makes the glass tell nearer the truth than It did without it. The Ostrich's Legs. Although the ostrich has powerful legs and can kick like a mule, his limbs are very brittle and are easily broken. He has two toes on each foot, one being armed with a horny nail which he uses as his principal weapon of warfare. When an unarmed man Is attacked,by one of these birds, the chances are very much against the man unless he can climb a tree or jump over a five foot wall. The Probate Court. - The final account of Theodore Lucius, executor of his father, Michael Lucius, late of Hampton, was exam- ined and allowed on Saturday, with a decree assigning residue of estate to heirs. Mrs. Bertha Held was appointed special administratrix of her deceased husband, Peter Held, late of Ver- million, on Monday. Si Plunkard. the roaring, rousing rally of fun as presented by J. C.

One of his visitors on a certain occasioix was a man who said to the deputy who answered the call at the window: "I am going out of town today and want to get a letter to my brother, who is on board the Majestic, and she Is not due until Wednesday. I don't know where he,will stay in New*York or where he will go from here. ICan you help me?" "Certainly we can," said the clerk. "A mailboat goes to meet t steamor, and if you address your let properly and put domestic postage on, -1t it will be delivered all right" "But how shall I addressilt—where shall I send it?" "Address it 'John Smith, passenger on board incoming steamer Majestic, due in New York, Dec. 12.* That will reach him." "No city? No nothing?" "That's all—just as I toldlyou." The man thanked the cleric and went away, and came back a little later with an addressed letter in his hand. "Say," he said to the clerk, "about that letter. I've addressed it and stamped it all right, but the man's name isn't John Smith. How about that?"—New York Tribune.

Any kind of bridge may lw used, provided the rectangular opening for navigation is left entirely clear. except that arched bridges, which would reduce that rectangular area. must be excluded. The platform of the britlge carries two lines of rails, over which a car riage on small wheels rolls. the number of wheels varying with the weight tii be carried. The rollers are connected with a movable frame under the tine or rails. which may freely move in a longittith nal direction quite close to the plat- form and from one end to the other or the same. We have thus a rudinien tary vehicle which can cross Stile chan nel without interfering in any way with the opening, which is to remain clear. In order to make this vehicle of practical use iron rods or eables are at tached to the fraine above mentioned. the object of these being to carry a platform, called by the French invent ors transhortieur, or carrier, front short to shore, hanging at the same level as that of the quays on each bank, but in any case above high water and the reach of waves. The frame can roll over tbe rails In both directions at pleasure. The sus- pended carrier can therefore land on one shore or the other at will, as It fol. lows the frame in the same way as the car follows the balloon. In order to obviate any swinging mo- tion which might result from the pres- sure of the wind or the forward motion of the carrier itself the rods by which the latter is suspended are arranged in triangles both in the longitudinal and transversal directions. There is thus a little railway for crossing the river, with this difference, that the body of the vehicle, instead of being above the rails and wheels, as usual, is some 140 or 160 feet below these. The motion of the frame is obtained, without expending much power, by means of any motor, the kind most suitable to local circumstances—cable driven by steam, water under high pressure, compressed air. gas or oil or, better still. by electricity. But In the last case the dynamo, iustead of being erected on shore. as the steam engine, is preferably placed on the movable frame, which it carries along ,with it- self by means of a pinion working into the teeth of a rack fixed to the bridge. Whatever may be the -kind of engine employed, it must be able to work backward -or forward instantaneously. M. Dellepiane concludes: "It will be observed that this is the most favorable solution of the problem et crossing maritime channels. The lat- itude it leaves for fixing dimensions, height or length without any unreason- able increase in its cost permits its use over many rivers and inlets requiring easy communication from sl3ore to shore. "It affords greater speed and more regularity than a boat, allowing twice or three times as many crossings to be made as with the latter, without being subject to the same causes of interrup- tion. "It does not even momentarily inter- rupt navigation, nor does it compel the traffic to make laborious ascents, as in the ordinary bridge, or an ascent and descent to an unpleasant .passage through a tunnel. "It realizes the minimum distance to be crossed, as its course Is straight and horizontal; It consumes very little mo- tive power, and this can be supplied by any kind of motor. Lastly, It is eco- nomical in constru.ction." A Heavyweight. "And then," she said In telling of the romantic episode, "she sprang to his arms." "She did r "Of course. Do you doubt it?"

"I suppose that the American people and the Russians are the only wester With races that really keep warm in winter Pop- Still those wife Medi in other eountrie bject admit that they have the same ideal by their inefficient effort to attain to it,' inder writes Anna N. Benjamin in Ainslee's Lon- "The Japanese winter Is most trying on with account of its continual dampness, but dical the Japanese ere content to remain such cold. They make almost no effort to oubt overcome it. The old 'bushido' (chival- by rous) idea of the 'samurai' (knights) eople was that it was effeminate to feel cold, and such is their severe training that evall they do not really feel it as we do. The r of wearing of some extra 'kimonos' and e 11 the use of a 'hibachi.' or brazier, in I they which are a few tiny sticks of lighted ks. charcoal, are the only concessions to nwinter weather. With the 'hibachi' I ninoad- they never pretend to hm eat ore than wI their finger tips, which they hold gver coils the coals. It is used when the house is ftely entirely open. vrit- The houses, as every one knows, are. ried built of thin, light wood, and the slid- vith ing panels which serve for doors and I bed windows have paper panes. They are I l'his as apt to be open as closed during the day. When I took my tirst jinrikisha plan ride through the slreets of Nagasaki. I dug forgot my own sufferings in my sym- pathy for this unhappy nation, which ' etie by as surely as the cold came endured such misery from it. The coolies wear thin ven se- blue cotton clothes and are always pad- dling through the mud. The storekeep- and ers sit out in their open booths, and the are women go bareheaded about the streets. In the houses of the rich the stilt cold behind the closed panels is often more ing intense than that outside in the sun - a ve for shine, where the air is stirring. The schools and public buildings are equal- pa - be ly frigid. hile "It seemed to me that the only warm Ich things in Japan were the babies, who on. looked like bundles of gayly colored ing crape, their round heads covered by ad- knit caps. They slumber peacefully out tucked down their mothers' backs. The reattempt to keep warm in winter is not . by entirely a 'modern improvement,' though re it goes with western civilization. The in- Koreans do it very thoroughly, the Chi- es- nese to a certain extent. The Japanese, ce as a race, continue to scorn it as they ke always have done, and this is merely ot one of a hundred examples which prove that the Japanese are still true to their 1)- traditions in their daily life and as yet or little affected in the ordering of their • homes by the ides,Inpted from the west." Evil Deeds Are Not Easy to Do the Aid of These Drngs—Some ulnr Misinformation on the Su Corrected. A curious case of robbery t thioroform which was decided In Ion not long ago was followed great interest by writers on me jurisprudence. Hitherto many writers. have expressed great d rliout these cases, for the process so means so easy of use as p think. Very extravagant ideas pr among the public as to the powe antesthetics, owing perhaps to th :•ense employed by_novelists when iescribe "fancy" cases in their boo One reads, for instance, of a In a railway carriage waving a h kerchief before the face of a fe traveler and producing instanta n unconsciousness. This is absolt Impossible. Another imaginative ?r recently described a murder car out by pushing a towel saturated N a powerful anwsthetic under the room door of his sleeping victini. ' ilso is nonsense. In another tale the more feasible Is carried out of entering the sleet man's chamber, pouring the almost!) on the be,d, the murderer standing and watching his victim die. But e this is stretching the truth rather verely. The true facts about chloroform its companion anresthetic, ether, as follows: First, with regard to administer the drug during sleep, doctors h made very exhaustive experiments, It would be of great advantage to a tient on whom an operation has to performed to chloroform him w asleep and save him the horror wh so many people have of tbe inhaled and they sum up the results, show that very rarely can chloroform be ministered to a sleeping person with awakening him. Grown people a with the rarest exception, awakened the irritating fumes. If a rnan we tired and if his nose were naturally sensitive to Unpleasant odors, and pecially if he were under the influen of drink, it might be possible to roa him unconscious while asleep But n even every doctor could do it. The o eration would require the highest ski atui the most skillful administrat woulkenceeed only enee in a blandly times. If we take the case of spilling t chloroform in a rootu and tbus impre mating all the airof the room, the thin is out of the question. Yet not only d novelists assert that this can be don but many people have been actuall charged in real life with doing it—fo the purpose of blackmailing them, fo injuring them or perhaps to throw off suspicion from the pretended victim who has committed the robbery him- self. If the room measures, say. 12 feet square and is 9 feet high, it would probably take a gallon of chloroform spilled on the floor to make a man un- conscious. All the chinks and craunies would have to be stopped up first, moreover, and the operator bitnself would have to be poison proof or he also would succumb. As a matter of fact, the only way to render a person -unconscious by the use of chloroform is in the way practiced by surgeons in the operating room. And this is by no means an easy task. There are sevei al ways of doing it. The chlo- roform may be dropped on a handker• chief, which is then held over the face at some little distance, or it may be dropped on a sponge, or it tnay be used In one of the innumerable machines in- vented for the purpose. But the vapor must he mixed with air before it is breathed. That is the reason the hand- kerchief or the sponge is held some inches from tbe face. As a rule it takes from five to eight minutes to make the person unconscious. and dur- ing this time he generally struggles very violently. It is probable tbat many of the charges of chloroforming which have been made are false. Sometimes the pretended vietitn asserts that he has become unconscious immediately. But it has been shown in evidence that the time necessary to bring about this re- sult Is at least four or live minutes. Sometimes he says lie could not cry out. yet he describes all the circum- stances of the administration minute- ly. Now, the first effect of the chloro- form is to produce confusion of the mind, while, on the other hand, the patient can cry put almost up to the last. He becomes mentally confused before he loses the power of speech. These few facts are sufficient perhaps to demonstrate that some charges of possible chlorofortning are necessarily untrue.—London Mail. HASTINGS, MINN., SATLTRDAY. MAY 11, 1901 ---TEN PAGES. THE FLOOR PROBLEM. Me Ideal Trentment—How to Care For Both Hard and Soft Woods. Many a worn carpet will come up this spring of which the housewife will n say, "It cannot go down again." Then . arises the question "to carpet again or s to have a polished floor?" Since the advent of the germ theory many peo- ple besides the scientists look askance at carpets. The following information from The Ladies' World will be useful to such as are considering the dbolition of these dust harboring affairs: The ideal floor is of hard wood, over which is laid a large square, leaving a bare surface of wood about one foot between baseboard and rug, or the floor may have a covering of several smaller rugs. The possession of a hard wood floor presupposes the neces- sary wealth to hire a competent man to apply the proper finish, but in the case of the round of good, bad and in- different maids fine rugs and floors are not always properly taken care of. The large squares should be swept with the carpet sweeper as often as necessary and at least once a month removed from the house and well beaten, while the smaller rugs may be shaken out of doors on every cleaning day. Never wipe a wax floor with a damp cloth, as the least suspicion of moisture will mar it. Instead use a dry canton flan- nel wrapped tightly around the broom to gather up the dust, while once or twice a 'year the floor should be treated with a coat of floor \vex, proceeding according to the directions on the can. Canton flannel bags made to fit the broom and tied at the handle are con- venient, and the lower end finished with two small ruffles will make them wear a longer time. The treatment of pine floors will de- pend upon their age and condition, while their care will depend upon the finish which has been applied. New, well matched boards will take a wax finish very nicely, and an amateur may achieve good results if the following recipe is used: Rub the well planed floor with sand- paper and apply a coat of transparent filler. When this Ilas stood 24 hours— no less time for the best results—apply floor wax with a soft cloth, covering the surface well. This first wax appli- cation must also stand for a full day, after which a second application of wax is necessary. Let the second coat stand an hour, after which the polisb- ing process will consist of three goings over with the weighted brush—first, across the grain; second, with the grain, and, finally, with a thick wool pad beneath the brush. This floor may be kept free from dust in the same manner as one of hard wood. Older and softer woods must either be stained or painted. But, no matter which material is used, the secret of success lies in waiting sufficient time between each coat of paint or stain and in rubbing the mixture thoroughly into the wood. be g - e, Not Quite What She Meant. A very stout lady while out walking In a certain part of Edinburgh came to a gateway which appeared to be the entrance to a private road Not being certain, however, she asked one of two messenger boys who were standing at the entrance whether she eould get through the gateway or not. The boy looked her up and down and across.

Employed to Over- come Certain Discuses. Freezing, baking. Illuminating, tor- turing, frightening and bruising are among the accepted ways of curing cer- tain diseases, says a writer in the Phil- adelphia Times. For example, the bak- ing cure: When one has a well devel- oped rheumatism, he is placed In a spe- cies of stove and the crystals of' uric acid are literally melted out of his body Another odd cure once tried for rheumatismwas burial in damp, warm clay. The first rheumatic burial took place at Menominee, Mich. The treatment was not a success, and this form of cure has been given up. The freezing cure: This was first in- troduced by a Swiss doctor, Paul Bur- deyront. He placed his patients in sheets itnmersed in ice water, packing the patient all about with crushed ice. This treatment is today used in typhoid fever eases. Or the patient is plunged into an ice water bath. The treatnient saves many lives. Raging fever above 105 degrees F. has been brought down by these means to normal -98 2-5 degrees—in less than ten minutes. Neither of these modes of treatment actually freezes one. A physician of Paris, M. Figeau, introduced in 1890 an ammonia vapor method, which really froze the patient. The body was placed in a chamber into which certain chem- icals were introduced. Ammonia gas, by sudden evaporation, then produced intense cold, and the blood in the body lost most of its beat. M. Figeau's method did not meet with success. Some of his patients succumbed to the drastic measures, and the practice was abandoned. The Witeel Problem. Which, at any given moment, is MOT log forward faster—the top of a coach Wheel or the bottom? The answer to this question seems simple enough, but probably nine per- sons out of ten, asked at random, would give the wrong reply. It would appear at hrst sight that the top and bottom must be moving at the same rate—that is, the speed of the carriage. But by a little thought it will be dis- covered that the bottom of the wheel Is in fact. by the direction of its mo- tion around its axis, moving backward, in an opposite direction to that which the carriage is advancing and is con- sequently stationary In space, while the polar on top of the wheel is mov- ing forward with the double velocity of its own motion around the axis and the speeJ at which the carriage moves.

Among the encouragements offered to silk weavers during the first century of the existence of this industry in Lyons was exemption from military service and taxation. So rapid was its devel- opment that in 1650 the weavers num- bered 18,000, or 60,000 with affiliated pursuits.

The Song of the Grouse. Certain birds when the period of courtship comes round repair to partic- ular trysting 'daces and announce their presence there by well known calls or signals. The ruffed grouse, as every one knows, seeks an old log or other con- venient perch and drums with his wings, a hint to any lady grouse with- in hearing that "Barkis is willin." The performance of the grouse is one frequently heard, but comparatively seldom seen, and for many years there were numerous conflicting theories concerning the means by which the drumming was prodnced. Some said that the sound was vocal, and others declared that the grouse etruck the log with its wings. Even today the pre- cise cause of the sonnd is not known, for, although the bird has been closely watched, its wing movements are so rapid that it is next to impossible to tell exactly whst takes place. This much, how/IA-yr.

Whether the sound is due entirely to beating of the air or whether it is increased by the striking together of the wing lips is a question yet to be settled.—Hartford Times. Why Dinah Wept. Not long ago a lieutenant in the navy was ordered away on a three years' cruise The order had been dreaded for weeks, and when it came the young Wife, who was to be left in a Brook- lyn flat with a baby and a colored serv- ant, was in despair. She controlled her sorrow very well, however, until the actual moment of parting came, and thee she N-vept as though her heart would break. The cruiser was to leave the navy yard early next morning, and the lieutenant had gone to report for duty. In the midst of her lamentations the young wife heard a sniffing and sob- bing in the dining, room, and upon glancing through the door she saw Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her body to and fro in a chair and weeping violently. "Why, D -D -Dinah, what's the fn -mat- ter?" cried the mistress.

Fish as a foad of the brain worker must be consIned to the limbo of vanities, though certain forms of fish are the cheapest of all foods, notably the bloater. Oy-eters and turtle soup are frauds. It would take 14 oysters to equal the nourishment of one egg and 223 to provide, the satne amount of nutriment contained in a pound of beef. Salt fish, especially salt fat fish, is the most valuable food for the poorer classes, and whole races in the south of Europe live on the Newfoundland cod. Canned salmon we see at 18 pence a po..,nd is no more expensive than cod at sixpence. Millions of peo- ple live on it, and the North American settler who is not well provided with cash finds it a good substitute and change from flesh meat at times. Frogs' legs are not of high nutritive value, which need not surprise us. Turtle soup from the chemist's point of view is not worth a. tenth of the price paid for it, -Exchange. Too Classic For Them. A resident in a small suburban town had a visit from a German friend who knew little English, but played the vio- lin well. One of this resident's neigh- bors gave a "musicale," and of course he and his visitor were invited. The German took his violin, and when his turn came he played one of his best pieces from one of the great masters. When he had finished, there was an awkward silence and no applause. The people were still looking expectantly at the German, who looked disappointed and flustered. The silence grew pain- ful. Finally the hostess, quite red in the face, edged over to the side of the Ger- man's friend. "Can't you get him to?" she whis- pered. "What do you mean?" "Why, now that he's got tuned up, isn't he going to play something?"— London Tit -Bits. Nis Late Hours. "You never think of staying out late," said the convivial and ill bred person.

Washington was forced to endure as a slave boy was the wearing of a flax shirt. In his autobiography, "Up From Slavery," he says: "In the portion of -Virginia where I lived it was common to use flax as part of the clothing for slaves. That part of the flay term which our clothing was made was largely tilt refuse, which of course was the cheapest and roughest part. I can scarcely imagine any torture except perhaps the pulling of a tooth that is equal to that caused by pulling on a new fax shirt for the first time. It is almost equal to the feeling that one would experience if he had a dozen or more chestnut burs or a hundred small pin points in contact with the flesh. Even to this day I can recall accurately the tortures that I un- derwent when pulling on one of these garments. The fact that my flesh was soft and tends,r added to the pain. But I had no choice. I had to wear the flax shirt or none, and had it been left to me to choose I should have chosen to wear no covering. "In connection with the flax shirt my brother John, who is several years old- er than I am, performed one of the most generousacts that I ever heard of one slave relative doing for another. On several occasions when I was being forced to wear a new fax shirt he gen- erously agreed to put it on in my stead and wear it for several days till it was 'broken in.' Until I had grown to be quite a youth this single garment was all that I wore." The Resin Eaters. "Resin eating," said a south Georgia doctor, "is a habit acquired by the Cracker settlers who live in the neigh- borhood of a turpentine still. The resin they use isn't the hard, shiny resin of commerce, but hag been dipped out of the cooking caldron at an 'early stage of the process, and when it cools it can be kneaded between the fingers like wax. The backwocs:s resin eater will bite off an immense chunk and chew it placidly until it disappears. The heat of the moutb keeps it fairly soft, but if the chewing becomes too deliberate it is apt to 'set,' as they say, and cement the victim's jaws together in a grip of iron. "On one occasion a big, rawboned backwoodsman who used to hang around a still I operated came rushing into my little office, clutching his face in both bands and making a horrible gurgling noise in his throat. 'What on earth is the matter?' I asked in alarm. 'His rosum's sot,' said another Crack- er, who brought up the rear. I was non- plused at first, but finally grasped the fact that the man had been chewing a monstrous slab of resin and had thoughtlessly suspended operations long enough to allow it to solidify and clamp his teeth like a vice. We finally pried his mouth open with a chisel and broke a couple of molars in the opera- tion. Next day I saw him chewing again."—Exchange. The White Shark. The shark of sharks, the real "man eater" and the one most dreaded, is the white shark. This variety reaches a length of 35 feet and a weight of 2,000 p^unds. Its head is long and flat, an. the snout far overhangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth are sharp as lancets and notched like saws. Its mouth is very large, so that one has been known to cut a man's body com- pletely in two at a single snap of its cruel jaws and another to swallow one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of these sharks was seen to swallow a bullock's bead, horns and all. From the stomach of another a bull's hide was taken entire, and the sailor who made the discovery insisted that the bull had been swallowed whole and all except the hide had been di- gested. From the stomach of another was taken a lady's workbox, filled with the usual contents, scissors and all. It is commonly the white shark which follows the vessel at sea day after day and week after week. Longhter. Laughter is a positive sweetness of life; but, like good coffee, it should be well cleared of deleterious substance before use. Ill will and malice and the desire to wound are worse than chico- ry.

THE NEW TENANT. Now, when he left my Me I drew Close shu' the casements of my heart And lock, the door, and in each part Strange darkness reigned, forlorn and new. There pierced no happy sunshine through The barrier of fastened doors; The dust lay thick upon the floors Where rosemary was strewn and rue. But on a certain day came one Who knocked and would not be denied And threw the rusted casements wide And entered with the wind and stm. The dingy webs that grief had spun, The dust that sad neglect had laid, The faded hangings, rent and frayed, Had vanished ere his work was done. Oh, hath swept my heart for me Clean of old sorrowing and doubt, And he hath set it all about With peace and happy certainty!

"Nuthin to it 'tall," with a sullen tone and look. "Blamed funny. I never see so much smoke where there wasn't some fire. Did you and her have some words?"

Remarkable Power. A dear old lady was taken one day to a musical service in a Boston church. She had heard much about the fine voice of the soprano and was prepared for a treat. She sat in rapt enjoyment until the service was over and then turned a ra- diant face toward her escort, who was a young grandson. "Dear boy," she said, "you've given me a great treat. Her voice is perfect- ly beautiful. It made cold chills run all up and down my spine." "It's too bad, grandmamma," said the boy, "but she didn't sing today, though she was there. The gentleman next me says she's been suffering from a bad cold, and one of the chorus had to sing the solos for her." "What, dear?" said the old lady, look- ing momentarily distressed. Then her face cleared, and she patted his arm reassuringly "Never you mind," she said. "We can come again some time. But, after all, if she can make me feel that way without singing I don't know that it would be wise for me to bear her. Now, would it?"—Youth's Companion. Very Meek.

"Mr. Buchanan, who was the first bachelor elected to the presidency, was 65 years of age when elected and had deliberately given himself to a life of celibacy," writes William Perique in The Ladies' Home Journal. "In the days when he was a young lawyer of Lancaster, Pa., he had loved Miss Coleman, a beautiful daughter of a citizen of that town. They had been engaged to be married, when one day he was surprised to receive from her a request to release her from the prom- ise. According to Mr. George Tick- nor Curtis, the separation originated in a misunderstanding on the part of the lady, who was unusually sensitive, over some small matter exaggerated by giddy and indiscreet tongues. Soon after the estrangement she was sent to Philadelphia and there died sud- denly. "Throughout the rest of his life, or for nearly half a century, Mr. Buchanan Is not known to have revealed to any- body the circumstances of this ro- mantic tragedy, tie would only say that it had changed his hopes and plans and had led him more deeply than ever into politics as a distraction from his grief. In his old age, long after he had retired permanently to private life, he willed attention to a package containing, he said, the pa- pers and relics which would explain the causes of his youthful sorrow and which be preserved evidently with the idea of revealing them before his death. But when he died and his vvill was read it was found that be had di- rected that the package should be burned without being opened, and his injunction was obeyed." Irish Laeemaking. After the famine of 1847 lacemaking was revived in Ireland. Limerick, the most successful Irish lace, is not real- ly a lace at all. It is tambour work up- on net and muSlin. The Irish point, so called, is tbe an- cient cut work, being made lu quite the same way. Net was first made by machinery in 1768. The machine was an adaptation of the stocking loom to lacemaking and was cumbrous and not very effect- ive. In 1809 John Heathcote, a farm- er's son, evolved from consciousness and experience the first machine to make true bobbinet with perfect six sided holes. It brought a great hue and cry about his ears from laceworkers, who fancied they saw themselves thus reduced to beggary. The Luddites broke into the factory where tbe machines were first set up and made scrap iron and kindling wood of them. The only result was to drive the new manufacture to other and safer quarters. For long the secret of the machine's constructicn was most jealously guarded by English manufac- turers. Not satisfied with letters pat- ent they kept up a coast patrol to make sure that nobody took model or draw- ings to France. At last, though, they were outwitted. A discharged workman who had the plan of it in his mind managed to get safe over sea and build a machine in France. Sort of a Cannibal. An old farmer for many years got his dinner on market days at a small hotel kept by a widow. She bad long suspected that he ate more than the price (is. 6d.) warranted, so she determined to test him.

The following is a summary: CITY FUND. Balance Nov. 10th $5 128.84 Receipts to devote her place, Holland Farm, fruit as well as to a dairy herd a .stock. During the past week she h had ten thousand strawberry plan put out, from the R. M. Kellogg nursery at Three Rivers, Mich. Mr. Kellogg, who is president of the Michigan Horticultural Society, makes a specialty of pedigreed strawberry plants, and each of the plants recent- ly received by Mrs. Wakeman are the product of years of careful culture and selection. As a result they are exceptionally vigorous and hardy, and although they were transplanted during the recent dry weather . they are in fineiconditiou and are putting forth new growth. Dr. G. C. Hopkins, of the Univer- sity of Illinois, by carefully pedigree- ing corn has succeeded in improving the chemical composition of the kernel so that it contains a very high average per cent of protein. This he accomplished by selecting the most perfectly developed ears and breeding them through successive years. In the same way R. M. Kellogg has heen breeding different varieties of straw- berries, and the fruit from those ped- igreed vines is uniformly developed and exceptionally luscious. Mr. Kellogg assumes that., to olf-' tain the best results, plants must be made comfortable and happy, and to this end advises high fertilization. Following this advice, in addition to the ordinary preparation of the land, Mrs. Wakeman has used several hun- dred pounds of prepared fertilizer shipped from Chicago. Inver Grove Items.

Crosby, of this city, made an ex- ploring trip about seventeen miles down river on Friday of last week, in search of the site of LeSueur's trading post built -on Prairie Island in 1695. They found remains of the old clay fireplace on the southwest hank of Sturgeon Lake, near the mid- dle of the south half of section thirty- two, town of Burnside, Goodhue County, about one and three-quarter miles northeast from Eggleston, frag- ments of which were brought home by the party. The land is now own- ed by Michael Erickson, and has been cultivated for years. Photo- graphs were taken by Mr. Crosby of the mound, including a view of Mr. Erickson's house about fifteen rods distant. The discovery is regarded as an important one in its connection with the early history of this portion of the state. Burnsville Items. Mr. and Mrs. T. El. White, of Credit River, were here Sunday. Mr. Patrick Nicholson and Miss Nora Kennelly were married on Wednesday of last week. The schoolhouse in District 94 is now occupied by Miss Anna Mc Namara and her pupils. The Rev. W.

"I doubt if many persons realize the fascination to be derived from a winter spent in the Bahamas," said a visitor just` returned from there the other day. Down near Nassau, for example, there is a curious sheet of water known as the Lake of Fire that is worth going far to see. It is Simply a phosphor- escent lake, but its weird effects cling to one's recollection in an uncanny way. It is about three miles from the hotel. You drive through quaint and narrow streets, with only here and there a lamppost shedding a dim light, and past the open doors of huts whose occupants seem to fill every space in the abodes to overflowing. "The gates of the old estate of Wa- terloo have long since disappeared, and the house is in ruins, but you drive be- tween the posts which still mark the entrance down a grass grown roadway to the edge of this wonderful pond. The water is only a few feet deep, and the pond is scarcely a quarter of a mile long. We stepped into a rowboat by the dim light of a lantern, and in a mo- ment, as the boat pushed off and the oars broke the water into ripples, we were surrounded by a sea of flame. The divers who swam about seemed literal- ly merged in blue smoke, for the effect of this phosphorescence is more like smoke than water. It reminds one of the butterfly dance seen on the stage. The form of the diver is surrounded by a luminous glow, and the fishes take fright and dart away like little flames into the dark and quiet waters. It is a beautiful sight." -New York. Sun.

In Memoriam. The following resolutions were adopted by Yeller Post No. 89 on Saturday evening: WHEREAS, In the death of Comrade James M. Tucker, Feller Post has lost one of its most loyal and enthusiastic members, the city of Hastings an exem- plary citizen, and its fellow men in whose circle of social relationship he was moved to manifestations of noble qualities of heart and mind that strengthen the links of the chain which binds us together in the ranks of true friendship, one whose fidelity to friends was most sincere. The dark valley with its wierd and solemn shadows, Illumined by the rays of faith- fulness to friends and country, is the ground which man ordinarily shudders to approach. He needs no epitaph but his name. his memory is indelibly im- pressed on the hearts of his comrades, and though the rocks of the everlasting hills may crumble in the dust. they will still fondly remember him for those sterling virtues which attended him ou his journey through life, in which he so manfully met its trials and responsi- bilities. Resolved, That as a token of respect for our departed comrade that our post room and flag be draped in mourning for thirty days, and that the family of Com- rade James M. Tucker receive our most sincere sympathy in this, the hour of their bereavement. Resolved, That the adjutant be ordered to spread these resolutions on the post records, and copies thereof be delivered to each member of the family of our de- ceased comrade, and also to the local papers for publication.

"My father and sister both died of consumption," writes J. T. Weatherwax, of Wyandotte, Mich., "and I was saved from the same frightful fate only by Dr. King's New Discovery. An attack of pneumonia left an obstinate cough and very severe lung trouble, which an ex- cellent doctor could not help, but a few months' use of this wonderful medicine made me as well as ever and I gained tnuch in weight."

Then I turned and beheld a lad Of some 40 summers, wearing a flower gown of white and green, with bloc lace mitts, and having beside her on of those big black 00 cent travelin bags that circulate so freely in th west. The ready politeness with which I answered her question- encouraged he to ask more, and eventually I found i necessary to sit sidewise that I might more conveniently keep up my end -of the conversation, which shifted from one topic to another with wonderful rapidity and- finally merged into a—ro- mance of which she was the heroine and to the completion of which 1 was cordially asked to lend my prelsence.

A group of small boys, gathered under a big oak, had listened spell- bound for an hour to Uncle Enoch's tales of adventure by land and by sea, on the field of battle and in the track- less forest. At last the hero of all the adventures paused for breath, and one of his listeners ventured a single gasping question. "Uncle Enoch," he stammered, "I s'pose—I s'pose you never ran away from anything in all your life, did you? Not from bears nor tigers nor cannons nor wild Indians nor—nor anything?" Uncle Enoch pulled his spectacles well down on his long nose and gazed benignly over them at this venture. some young person.

Why the Pretty Paper Does Not Lo Well When on the Wall. A very essential feature, and a su jest worthy of more study than is us ally accorded it, is the treatment light and shade in decorative art, the selection of wall hangings t goods are placed generally where strong light prevails. This may be ve well in some cases, but how often is we hear that the paper looks better the piece than on the wall! What is the reason? Is it the pa tern? No. The mistake is caused the fact that the customer has not co sidered the light in the room. The sam defect may occur once in awhile to t decorator. For example, a room ma appear to be very light when devoid curtains, shades, furniture, etc., and this condition the work may 'mice look very satisfactory when complete But when the room is furnished it lac one thing—decision. What appeared be a delicate ceiling is now so delica that it would take a pair of oper glasses to -find the design. A few other practical notes in refer- ence to the treatment of colors indif- ferent lights which may be of service to many decorators are given by a writer in The Art Interchange, as fol- lows: Let me give a scheme of color for room with a south or southwestern ex posure, having at least two good sized windows. Let the ceiling be treated with a groundwork of light cinnamon, frescoed in outline with a medium shade of old gold color, the high lights to be tipped with gold leaf. Let the side walls be grounded in' a sage color as high as picture molding. For frieze, make a slightly darker shade and in- troduce ornament in colors of old gold, deep crimson and dull pink. The cor- nice should be treated with special care, and I suggest that the cove should have main portion tinted in the body color of ceiling and blended down into gold at the completion of the arc. The members of the cornice above the cove should be in the lighter shades, so that the whole may blend together toward the ceiling. Woodwork should be ivory white, rubbed to a dead finish. In furnishing this room I should sug- gest white and gold furniture, with upholstery of light amber tint, or other- wise old rose. Carpet should be of light fawn color, with just sufficient color in relief to show design. This would make a very desirable reception room or parlor. We will take, as another example, a music room with a western outlook— s shady retreat, as it were. Let the ening be of a medium shade of old He Hadn't Lost a Burglar.

"Afraid nothing!" he retorted indig- a nantly. "I am looking at it from an ethical point of view. This burglar un- doubtedly has been lost by the police, and if I took charge of him they might think I was trying to steal him and make a lot of trouble for me. Besides, Fin no searching party.

In the town records of the city of Boston there is a curious passage which records how a schoolmaster was ex a mined and what happened. The manner in which the visit of inspection Is recorded makes one Incline to the view that the unlucky schoolmaster may not have had fair play, although if he was really inefficient he may be said to have been judged by his peers. In the record for the 22d of May, 1722, it is set forth that: "Ooll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah Al- len Escir, & John Edwards together with the Select men, Vissitted the wrighting School at the Southerly End of Boston on Thirsday •the 24th apll 1722. and Examined the Scholars un- der rnr Antes Angers tuition as to their proficiency in Reading writing Scy- phering & the masters ability of teach- ing & instructing youth his rules & methods therefore And are of Opinion That it will i}e no -Service to the Town to Continue, mr anger in that Employ." Whereupon it was voted that the said Mr. Antes Auger should not con- tinue master of the "Said South 501)001."

Maddened by Solitude. The Canadian northwest is a proba• tionary haven for wealthy young Eng- glishmen of nomadic instincts: Nuni- bers of them annually purchase hunt- ing and camping outfits from the Hud- son Bay eouipany and strike into the barren lands to prospect for minerals or take up tend on the prairies. But most often they return to the civiliza- tion of the towns- with nothing but bard words for the wilderness.

Old Gooseberry Ii'or New Ships. It may be ungenerous to dispel a pop- ular delusion, but there Is no one among the thousands who witness a ship launch who does not belleve that the beautifully garlanded bottle of wine broken against the stem of a ship is anything but the choicest brand of champagne drawn from the admiral's cellar. Whenever a ship is launched in a dockyard, the admiralty generously allow £40 as the cost of tbe Jubilation, and included in this sum of £40 is the item of 3 shillings for wine. Hence It follows that not only Is the wine not drawn from the admiral's cellar, but it certainly is not champagne of foreign vintage.—English Navy and Military Record. Laureate Nonsense.

A Remarkable Tale of the Remark bee Garment■ of Silk That A Worn by Some Remarkable Sou American Indians. Probably no country 011 earth Is mo Interesting to the traveler on the loo out for queer things and unusual ex riences than the slices of the Amazo and hegre is a story about an India Tribe off that region told by Arthur A tell, an American traveler, that ca hardly be beaten. These particular Indians were conti ually beut on discovery and expe meeting, says air. Axtell. Someho they had come Into possession of som silkworms. These worms were n known before In that country, an most of them died before the natty found out bow to raise them. But the persevered and by feeding thein on th tender leaves of some native plant produced a good quality of silk, not s good as the Chinese product by feedin the worms on white mulberry leave but nevertheless a strong. serviceabl silk, certainly good enough for th dusky bodies of these savages, for the silk has not yet become an article o commerce. Their method of obtaining the sil and transforming it Into garments wa crude. When the moths laid the eggs the natives carried them In great quan titles In belts about their bodies, th giviag the eggs the body heat. At th end of winter the eggs were batched and t'.e result was an army of caterpil Jars. These were trained to crawl-ove the naked bodies of the natives. Thi was their home. They knew no othe and seemed quite contented. 1 'ring eight weeks the savage i covered with these yellow crawlers. I would seem that thousands of creepin caterpillars over one's body from heat to foot would tickle one to death. Cer talnly a white man would find it un bearable, but it must be remembered these uatives of Brazil are scarcely hu- man. To them it is intensely Interest- ing to train these worms In the way they should go. Small bits of leaves are stuck on the bodies of the natives in regular rows, and round and round the worms go, feeding on the way. The natives help each other in the placing of the bits of leaves and in confining the worms to certain localities on the body. These caterpillar covered nigger's, as Dr. lz' A. Marsh. who was of fur,party. called them, sleep on their backs at nigbtsend are careful not to turn over in their sleep. That would be a sad calamity. When we came to their vil- lage, there were ten Indians, men and women, In the act of raising silk cater- pillars by this unique process. They were a sight to chill the blood. I know the blood stopped flowing in my veins. I stood still and shuddered. Yet there was a fascination about it, for I bad been told what the object of It was, and I admired the savage ingenuity. After the wornis have become dizzy with playing the "merry go round" on the bodies of the savages they quit eat - Ing and commence spinning the outer covering for the cocoons. When this labor Is done, the natural process of silkmeking is interfered with. The savages had found out that when the cocoons were finished they would burst or the worms would eat their way out. In either cage the silk was destroyed. So the worms are prevented from mak- ing theeoroons. Instead the fiber for the Ower roicering is destroyed, and the poor caterpillars stop in perplex- ity. But they doubtless conclude the savages are right, and the worms are in debt to them for eigbt weeks of feeding, so they start soon to the spin- ning of the silk. The natives are now In ecstasy. They make the worms hustle around them as they have been taught during all their little lives and spinning as they go the fine filaments of shining silk. Round and round crawl the worms, each one spinning 1.000 to 4,000 yards of silk thread around the swarthy, savage neck, around each naked arm, around the chest and abdomen and the lower limbs. The work of the worm is over. And the result is a remarkable trans- formation. From a nude savage figure, loathsome and repulsive, with thou- sands of yellow worms crawling, twist- ing. writhing, squirming, to a conquer- ing, proud native of Brazil, clothed in a perfectly fitting garment of rich silk. Ile has toiled not, neither has he spin- ned—he has only bossed the job—yet is he clothed in raiment as beautiful as the lilies of the field. What a feeling of supremacy he must have! He bas interfered successfully with a divine plan. He bas turned aside the course of nature and stands erect—in his own mind, at least—a man to be greatly ad- mired.—Philadelphia Times. NOT BURIED AT SEA. The Hasaae French Boatman aaa the Dead Englishman. • A long expected French lugger, was -seen making for the roadstead, "gfdthe ▪ 1 Lowestoft tree traders were en the re alert, anxiously seeking an opportu Ib Inity for communicating with her crew. While they waited for a lapse of vial- ' lance on the part of the excisemen, a boat was 1pwered from the luggerand rowed toward tbe shore. A curious crotvd of beach men and excisemen assembled to meet her, and as she Fame in on the crest of a roller it was observed that she contained a coffin. The French boatmen had a mournful tale to tell. On board the lugger had been an Englishman suffering from an illness which soon proved fatal. In his last moments of consciousness he had begged the captain not to bury him et sea, but to keep his body until a rest- ing place could be found for it under the green turf of a churchyard In his native land. Sympathy with his sad tate and the knowledge that the lugger wads not far from the English coast had induced the captain to consent, and now he had sent the body ashore for burial. In spite of his broken Eng- lish, the Frenchmen's spokesman told bis tale well. Both excisemen and beach men— especially the latter—loudly expressed their admiration of the captain's con- duct. A parson was summoned, and in a little while a mournful procession made its way from the beach to the churchyard. Even the chief officer of the excisemen was present and is said to have shed tears. That night the local "resurrection- lsts" were busy, and at dawn the churchyard contained a desecrated grave. A little way inland, however, in the midst of the marshes, a smug- glers' store received the addition of a coffin filled with silks and lace!— "Highways and Byways In East An- glia." W. A.

"Next morning my friend showed up with a horse he told me I could have for $98, though be was really worth more. He was sound, gentle, 7 years old, according to Jones. "He had bought that horse for $60. He had spavin and ringbone, was knee sprung and 13 years old. So Jones had made $78 off me and left me with one of the worst old crowbalts you ever saw.

Judge Braxfleld, famous in England for his love for hanging criminals, when on circuit always put up near Perth with a crony who was devoted to chess. The laird had rather the bet- ter of his lordship at the game. In the revolution of the circuits Braxfleld found himself trying his hospitable friend, who had got awkwardly mixed up in some abduction of cattle. The evidence was clear, the panel was con- victed and the judge pe ,sed the solemn sentence of death. 'Then, bending down, he chuckled to the unfortunate prisoner — the accommodation In the provincial courts was cramped—"And now, Donald, my friend, I think I've checkmated you for once."

In the fore part of August, 1812, a party of -bunters found hi a mountain- ous region now known as Itabun coun- ty, Ga., a being nearly eight feet high covered with bluish hair and having a human face adorned with immense ears resembling those of an ass. The creature was stone deaf and ou that account seemed wholly unconscious of the approach of the men. This mon- ster seems, from old accounts, to have been seen upon several occasions dur- ing the next four years. In 1816 a number of adventurers from Virginia, most of them surveyors working up the unexplored portions of i1eorgia and the Carolinas, formed themselves into a party for the express purpose of capturing the uncanny be- ing if possible. They scoured the hills and valleys for several days and at last returned unsuccessful to the starting point. The many tales told of this extraordi- nary being seem to have created quite a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A printed circular issued by a land com- pany in 1815 Says, "Tia' climate of Georgia is exceedingly mild, the soil productive, and the danger of attack from uncouth beasts which are repre- sented as being half beast and half man are fairy tales not worthy of con- sideration."

Professor Rogers and Dr. Dale were once lecturing in England, and at ev- ery town which they visited Dr. Dale noticed that his colleague. who always spoke first made the same speech. In fact, so often did the professor give that speech that the worthy doctor knew it off by heart, and this fact led the latter to think of a way of taking the wind out of bis friend's sails. On Weir arrival at a town in south Lancashire Dr. Dale asked Dr. Rogers to allow him to speak first, an arrange- ment to which tbe latter readily agreed. so Dr. Dale rose and proceeded to deliver the speech of Dr. Rogers, looking every now and tben out of the corner of his eye to see bow that wor- thy gentleman was taking this practi- cal joke. Dr. Rogers sat calm and com- posed, and when at length his turn eam4 to speak he just as calmly rose and delivered, to Dr. Dale's utter as- tonishment quite a new speech. At the conclusion of the meeting Dr. Dale said to his colleague: "1 thought 1 bad taken the wind out of your sails tonight." Dr. Rogers replied: "Ob, no. I de- livered that speech when I was here a month ago." The Cannon and Beleaoe. The president of the French Acade- my of Sciences remarked in a recent address that the cannon is one of the moat instructive laboratories that sci- ence possesses. It was the modern can- non, be said. which suggested the appli- cation of explosive gases to the driving of engines. The experience of the im- mense pressures obtained in cannon also led to the use of pressures in steam machines which a few years ago would have been regarded as im- practicable. Thus experiments intend- ed 'primarily for the purposes of war bad resulted in the advance of the tri- umphs of peace. Beth at Rest. "I suppose," said the stonecutter, "you'll want 'Regniescat to pace' at the bottom of your wife's monument?' "No," replied the bereaved Mr. Peck; "make it 'Requiesco in pace.' " 'That means 1 rest in peace,' doesn't itr "Yes. and 1 want you to sign that 'Husband. Catholic Standard and Times. The purest Chinese is spoken at Nan- kin and la called "the language of th. mandarins." Barrymore and Modjeska. Maurice Barrymore earned a reputa- tion as a wit and really deserved it. His style could be Tess successfully transferred to the stage, as his efforts at comic writing showed, but in its spontaneous phases Its effect always told. One of the stories told was about his experiences with Mme. Modjeska, with whore be acted for several years. He bad been as careless as he often was on the stage, and Mme. Modjeska, with all the conscientiousness of a great artist, protested that be had no right to take his calling so rightly and that 1f be did not owe it to his reputa- tion to do his best be at least owed It to her, because she had done so much in his behalf and bad put him before the public in a dignified and serious line of parts. "Why, madam," be said, "it is not you who brougbt me before the public and made me known. People had beard of me all over the United States wben they thought that Modjeska was only the name of a tooth wash." A Crashed Lawyer. Some time ago a well known San Francisco attorney, who prides himself upon his handling of Chinese witnesses, was defending a railway damage case. Instead of following the usual ques- tions as to name, residence, if the na- ture of an oath were understood, etc., be began: "What is your name?" "Kee Lung." "You live in San Francisco?" "Yes." "You sabbte God?" "Mr. At- torney, if yon mean 'Do I understand the entity of our Creator? I will sim- ply say that Thursday evening next l shall address the State Ministerial as- sociation on the subject of tbe 'Divinity of Christ' and shall be pleased to have you attend." Needless to say, a general roar of laughter swept over the courtroom at this clever rally, and It was some min- utest much to the discomfiture of the lawyer for the defense, before order was restored and the examination pro- ceeded upon ordinary lines.—Argonaut. It Brings Her. Ete. "What do you do when your wife gets sulky and refuses to talk to you?" "Why, I begin to praise Mrs. All- good, across the street, or some other woman I know she detests." "And that brings her, eh?" "Yes, it brings her and sometimes ev- erything throwable that happens to be In her reach too."—Salt Lake City Tribune. Hard Work. Employer—What's the matter witb 1 you? Muddled Clerk—Tired; tha'sb all. "Tired, eh?" "Yeah; I been work-in like a horse." "Ah, I see! Carrying a load, eb?"— Philadelphia Record. Land Crabs One of the commonest and the lar- gest of the Christmas island land crabs is tbe well known robber crab, which is found in most of the tropical islands of the Indian and Pacific oceans. It sometimes reaches a length of two feet and may measure seven inches across the back. Its colors are of a very gaudy description, the ground color be- ing a bright red, upon which there are stripes of yellow, but in some cases a purplish blue is the prevailing tint. The eyes are fixed on stalks which can be moved independently of one an- other, and there are two pairs of feel- ers, one long, the other short. The lat- ter pair are continually jerked up and down. There Is a pair of powerful claws, then several waiaing legs. in general appearance these animals are much more like rather stout lobsters than crabs, and one's first encounter with one of these creatures in the mid- dle of a forest far from the sea is pro- ductive of much astonishment on both sides. Another species of land crab com- mon In Christmas island Is a little bright red animal which in general shape is much like the common shore crab. This variety snakes burrows in the ground, and In some places the soil is honeycbmbed with hundreds of boles. The crabs spend most of their time collecting dead leaves, which they car- ry in their claws, holding them op over their heads, and drag down into their burrows, into which they scuttle at the least alarm.—Pearson's Magazine. Crabs in Disguise. Human beings are not the only crea- tures that have discovered the ap- petizing, though Indigestible, qualities of crabs, and some of these animals have been compelled to resort to vari- ous defensive measures. Disguise is one of these and is practiced with great effect by spider crabs. These deliberately bite up seaweeds and plant them on their backs, very soon establishing a growth which har- monizes perfectly with the surround- ings and deceives many an enemy. Should the weeds grow too vigorously, the crab industriously prunes them with his claws and eery now and then scrapes the whole lot off and starts a fresh garden ou his roof, so to speak. The sponge crab behaves in a situ •:tr manner, nipping off little bits of living sponge and sticking them on his back, where they grow vigorously. The same end is served as in the other case. It is very amusing to keep crabs of one or other of these kinds in an aqua- rium and deprive them of the usual means of concealment. They get very nervous and agitated and try to cover themselves with bits of paper or anything else that may be provided. One such captive Is said to have •had a little greatcoat made for him, which be put on In a hurry as soon as It was handed to him. She Waited. Even a Scotchman'cannot always be humorous, 1f he would. Like other people, however, he is sometimes funny without meaning to be. The Scottish -American thinks that the message sent by a young man in Peeblesshire to his waiting bride may have kept her from worrying over his nonappearance, but that she must after all have received it with mixed feel- ings. The bride eleet lived in a village some distance from the home of William, the bridegroom. The wedding was to be at her home. On the eventful day the young man started for the station, but on the way met the village grocer, who talked so entertainingly that William missed his train. Naturally he was in what is known as a "state of mind." Something must be done and done at once. So be sent the following telegram: Don't marry till I come. Wniasit. If the bride elect knew her William, she probably knew how he felt when he sent the message and forgave the men- tal confusion which resulted in what she must have looked upon as a need- less request. DEFECTIVE PAGE The Earl and the Highwayman. One night when the Earl of Stanhope was walking alone in the Kentish lanes a man jumped out of the hedge, leveled a pistol and demanded his purse. "My good man. I have no money with me," said Lord Stanhope in leis remark- ably slow tones. The robber laid hands on his watch. "No," Lord Stanhope went on, "that watch you must not have. It was giv- en to me by one I love. It Is worth f100. If you will trust me, I will go back to Chevening and bring a f100 note and place it in the hollow of that tree. I cannot lose my watch." The man did trust him. The earl did bring the note. Years after Lord Stan- hope was at a city dinner, and next to him sat a London alderman of great wealth, a man widely respected. He and the earl talked of many things and found each other mutually entertain- ing. Next day Lord Stanhope received a letter, out of which dropped a 1100 note. "It was your lordship's kind loan of this sum," said the note, "that start- ed me in life and enabled me to have the honor of sitting next to your lord- ship at dinner." A strange story; but the Stanhopes are a strange race, and things happen to them that never did or could occur to other people. To Be Cheerful. The sovereign, voluntary path to cheerfulness, If our spontaneous cheer- fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look around cheerfully and to act and speak as i! cheerfulness were al- ready there. If such conduct doesn't make you soon feel cheerful, nothing else will on that occasion. So, to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use n'l our will to that end, and a courage will very . kely replace the fit of fear. Again, in order to feel kindly toward a person to - hum we have been inimical, the only way Is more or less deliberate- ly to smile. to make sympathetic in- quiries and to force ourselves to say genial things. One hearty laugh to- gether will bring enemies into closer communion of heart than hours spent 011 both sides in inward wrestling with the mental demon of uncharitable feel- ing. Why We Wink. No satisfactory determination bas been made of the reason we wink. Some suppose that the descent and re- turn of the lid over the eye serve to sweep or wash it off; others that cover- ing of the eye glves'it a rest from the labo`` of vision, if only for an inap- precl!ble instant. This view borrows some force from the fact that the rec- ord of winking is considerably used by experimental physiologists to help measure the fatigue which the eye suf. fers.—Popular Science. Dosing an Elephant. A difficult operation was performed the other day at the zoological gardens at Hanover. An elephant was suffer- ing great pain from a growth on the lower part of one of its hind feet, and it was deemed necessary to cut this malformation away. In order to ren- der the animal insensible a dose of 600 grains of morpbia In six bottles of rum was administered. This dose took about an flour before any visible effect was produced. The elepbant then fell over in a kind of sleep, and the opera- tion was successfully carried out with- out any further ado. The operation lasted In all three days.—London Globe. Swindled. "The saddest, most blighted life case, I ever knew," said the major, "was' that of a man who received a life pass over a new railroad:" "How was that?" asked the coloneL "Why, the pass was issued before there was a rail laid, and then the road was never built. He has felt swindled ever since"—Indianapolis Press. When Hannibal's army descended. from the Alps into the valley of Lom- bardy the whole force was well nigh, routed by a plague of mosquitoes, which drove men and animals almost wild with pain. The Mysterious Sunday Disease. Many people are seemingly well dur- ing the week, but afflicted with all manner of ailments when Sunday comes around, and on Monday they are all well again. I really dread the ap- proach of the Lord's day, for with the day there come to many of my flock colds, sick headaches, pain in the side and nausea, while numbers complain of "that languid feeling." Sunday before last I spent really an anxious day, for there happened to be absent from the services quite a num- ber, for the best of reasons, of course— s rushing in the head, a touch of sciat- ica. cramps. toothache, hardness of hearing. catarrh, torpid liver, inflam- mation of the membranes, lumbago and, worse than all, "that tired feel- ing?' Then, what greatly distressed me the next day was that Mrs. Henry Van Blarscom had issued invitations to an "at home" for that evening, and the fear well nigh paralyzed me that, but few would respond, seeing many of her Invited guests had been absent from the Sabbath services. Imagine, then, if you can, my profound surprise to see on that Monday evening so wholly un- expected, so general and complete a re- covery, and when I made inquiry con- cerning the Sabbath ailments only two were able to recall what had really been the matter with them the day be- fore.—A Minister in Christian Intelli- gencer. Playing For Keeps. I have observed in the larger game of marbles which we call "making a living" that most of the boys are "playing for keeps" and only a few for fun and that those who are playing for keeps are the boys with the most influence and standing in the com- munity. I know a whole lot of boys, some of them living in Massachusetts today, who are playing for keeps, but Instead of marbles they are using wheat or corn or railroad stocks. No one of them knows just whom he is playing against, but each knows that for each dollar be wins a dollar is lost by some one else. Nevertheless I am old fogy enough to say that for myself I do not regret my early training, nor am I ready to leave behind its principles, but as long as the majority of parents wish their boys to be successful it seems to me you ought to make it clear that play- ing marbles for keeps is an excellent way of drilling boys in that acquisi- tiveness which will make it possible for them in after years to provide their wives and daughters with silk dresses, opera cloaks and automobiles.—Spring- field Republican. A Happy Foot. The custom of wishing a friend "a happy foot" is to be found in all parts of Europe, and it goes to show how much superstition is connected with our footgear. It is to be assumed that the well fitting boot or shoe, which en- ables a person to walk in comfort, Is symbolical of happiness. The accidental placing of the right shoe on the left foot, putting a shoe on awry or the breaking of a lace is a bad sign from the popular point of view. To tie the shoe of another indi- vidual is Indicative of humility and lowly position, yet the Chinese wor- ship the shoes of an upright judge. There is a curious superstition in some parts of England which advises that when the'youngest daughter mar- ries before her sisters the latter should dance at her wedding without shoes in order to Insure husbands for them- selves. On St. Valentine's eve, accord- ing to a similar custom, girls should hang their shoes outside tbe window if they wisb to secure lovers. Some actresses carefully preserve the boots they wore when they scored their first success and wear them on all Im- portant occasions. Got More For the Money. A gentleman living in a rural part of England sent his coachman to a neigh- boring village for 5 shillings' worth of penny stamps. After a time John returned from his tramp of two miles. His face wore a self satisfied look when he came into his employer's pres- ence. "Got the stamps, John?" "Yes, sir," the man replied, handing over a batch of halfpenny stamps. "I said penny stamps, John, and you have got halfpenny ones." "Yes, sir," and the smile widened. " "1 asked for 5 shillings' worth of stamps, an the postmaster says, 'Halfpenny or penny? 'Do you sell halfpenny stamps?' I asked. 'Yes,' said be. 'Well,' says I, 'if you can buy stamps for a halfpenny. what's the use of payin a penny?' An I bought the halfpenny stamps, slr."—London Telegraph. The Redcoats. An incident at the siege of Rouen, in 11191, shows that red was looked upon as the English color, for in mentioning the death of one of the Earl of Essex's captains it is remarked that the French- man who shot him got near enough to do so by putting on the red coat of a dead English soldier. In 1643 the Icing's life guards, as also the queen's, and Prince Rupert's, wore red coats. Cards. Harry—Uncle George, at the end of this marriage notice of Cousin Tom's it says, "No cards." What does tE t Olean? Uncle George—It doesn't mean any- thing, Harry. That is to say, it Is only a blind. It is a promise that Tom will give up cards, but, bless you, he won't be a month married before he'll be back to the poker table agate. Ex- cbano'e. 1E1 THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD a SON. SATURDAY. MAY 18th, 1901. Prof. T. 11. Lewis, one of the oldest archaeologists in the state, is of the opinion that the baked clay recently found on Prairie Island by Warren Upham are the remains of the mound builders, who flourished several gen- erations before white men ever visited this section of North America. He says LeSueur's post was farther up the island. The Northfield Independent says it is positively known that Cole Young- er killed the Swede in their streets, whose only offense was a lack of knowledge of the English language. For this cold blooded murder it is proposed to release him after an im- prisoninent of only twenty-five years. This is neither justice nor mercy. A gypsy sojourning in St. Paul claims to have had $3,460.10 taken from his tent during a temporary absence. It is very fortunate the camp was not in Minneapolis, or he would have lost the entire outfit. The Northern Pacific Road is de- livering pine logs in Stillwater by rail, at the rate of sixty-five ears per day, averaging ninety logs to the car. They are dumped into the St. Croix upon arrival. The dedication of the Minnesota building at the Buffalo exposition has been postponed until June 18th, and the trip of the editorial association is consequently changed to the 15th. A Minneapolis doctor and his as- sistant's -broke up a spiritualist meet- ing on Tuesday evening by rushing in and vaccinating every one present, leaving fifty-two sore arms. The- pile driver .Jumbo, which T. A. Mahar, of this city, was fitting up at Winona, burned in a dock fire last Saturday, caused by sparks from a locomotive.

Our public schools will be well represented at the Pan American Exposition this summer by an at- tractive exhibit, covering about twenty-five square feet. It contains photographs of the high school build- ing, the assembly room, library, science recitation room, laboratories, and music room, and specimens of class work selected from the various grades. The work in map sketching from memory by the sixth and seventh grades, and the specimens of science note book pages are particularly at- tractive. The entire exhibit is high- ly creditable. It was shipped Thursday: The Creamery. The new creamery- of Messrs. Schmitz & Haus, on east Second Street, is nearly completed, and will be ready for the farmers to bring in their milk the last of the month. The building is twenty-four by fifty feet, twelve feet high, and the engine room fourteen by twenty. A well is being drilled by James Mahar, of Marshan, at a depth of about sixty feet. The machinery has been re- ceived from St. Paul and placed in position, consisting of a separator, churn, vats, tanks, pump, tester, and scales. The capacity of the engine is forirteen horse power, and that of the boiler twenty. It will be a model plant, just what *lir people and farm- ers have long needed. Acylum Notes. A. C.

Dear Sir.—Complying with your re- quest I hand you a statement of the financial condition of Dakota County. Our resources are $48,258.65; liabilities Jan. 1st, 1901, $28,973,71, bills allowed Jan. 10, 1901, $1,484,73, temporary relief paid in Jan. 1901, $113.87, wolf bounties paid in Jan. 1901, $52.00, interest paid on outstanding orders in Jan. 1901, $154.98, paid on county officials salaries in Jan. 1901, $159, due to county offi- cials, overseer poor farm, janitor and turnkey's salaries to Jan. 30th, 1901, $872.32. Total liabilities to Jan. 30, 1901, $31,810.61. Excess of resources over liabilities $16.448.04. I think it safe to say that $40,000, and no more, of resources as shown will be available in tie year 1901. In looking back eight years I find orders and war- rants have been issued for the payment of county expenses amounting to $373,321.38, an average of $46,665.17 per year for that period. The board of county commissioners, treasurer and myself are of the that current bills could be met I have the honor to be Respectfully Yours, J. A. JELLY. St. Paul, Minn., Mar. 5, 1901. lion. J. A. Jelly, County Auditor, Hastings, Minn. My Dear Sir.—We this morning amended the bill which I spoke to you about in relation to the issuing of bonds for the floating indebtedness of coun- ties. On consultation with Senator Brower, of St. Cloud, we both con- cluded to strike off all the limitations and make it a general bill. We have so amended it as to include the floating indebtedness of all counties in the state, existing prior to February 1st, 1901, excluding however, such in- debtedness as is in litigation at the time of the bill. In this shape the bill this morning passed the senate. There will probably be some trouble in the house, owing to the alleged ex- travagance of the people in the north- ern counties, but we will try to have the bill passed in this shape. for we have grave doubts as to the constitu- tionality of the measure in the shape in which it came to us. I have consulted with Messrs Whitford and Pennington and they assured me of their earnest support in the passage of this measure. Yours Very Respectfully, ALBERT SCHALLER. Com.

The funeral was held from the German Lutheran Church on Mon- day, at two p. m., the Rev. August Warnecke officiating. Mr. Joseph Stumpf, of Hampton, died at Kranzburg, S. D., on the 10th inst., aged sixty-six years, where he had been a couple of weeks for medi- cal treatment. Mr. Stumpf was an early resident and prominent farmer of that town, and his death is deeply regretted by a wide circle of friends. He leaves a wife, three sons, and seven daughters. Mra. Stumpf was formerly Miss Anna M. Kranz. The remains arrived in Hampton Saturday evening, the funeral being held from St. Mary's Church, New Trier, on Monday, at half past ten a. m., the Rev. Leopold Haas offi- ciating. He is a Wonder. All who see Mr. C. F.

The reason is a curious one. In early Georgian days one never knew who was lo3-al. Every other man might be a Jacobite in his secret heart. Now, it was a piece of Jacobite ritual whenev- er the toast of "The King" was drunk secretly to pass the goblet over any water that happened to be by the drinker.

She was on the ',vitness stand in her own behalf, being also defendant in the action. She was a sturdy widow, hard working, shrewd in a deal and garru- lous. A Landlord was suing for back rent on a little farm she had abandon- ed. "You say that the land was bard and sour and sterile?" suggested the attor- ney for the plaintiff. "That's what I said, only I wasn't so persniffity about it, and I'll say more"— "Just a moment, please. We want evidence, not opinions. Did you raise anything on this land of ours?" "Land of ours!" with a sniff. "You never owned a thimbleful of it. Yes, I did raise things on it. It took two hills to raise a bean and a whole row of corn to raise a nubbin. I raised a cab- in, I raised a pigpen, and I tried to raise a goat, but it starved to death, poor thing! That ground wouldn't raise dog fennel or even Canada thistles." "Don't exaggerate, please. You say the soil was sour?" "I couldn't exaggerate about that ground if I was a lawyer. In the morn- ing when the dew was steaming off in the sunshine you'd think you was liv- ing next door to a pickle factory. I kept my sugar in an airtight jar." "Pshaw! That's ridiculous. I sup- pose the ground was so hard you could not blast it?" "Nuthing of the kind. I'm here to tell the truth. But I'll tell you how hard that ground was.

Bedrooms and Breathing. While no scientist, I think, will rec- ommend less than seven cubic feet of air each mihute for an adult, Dr. Reed gives ten as the smallest amount that will meet the wants of the body. All of this, of course, is not absolutely used, only needed that purity, may be secured. The average room -12 by 10 and 8 feet high—even if the room is empty, will consume only 060 cubic feet, or enough to supply air for one person for about two hours. Now, when two or even four persons occupy such a room, the doors and windows closed to keep out the supposed "poi- sonous night air," it is not strange that the stench of vitiated air is overpower- ing to one who enters the room after breathing the pure air of heaven, such as the good Father intended for use.— Weekly Bouquet.

An invention which should prove very valuable to mariners is the topo- phone, an instrument devised by Lieu- tenant D. P. Heap, engineer of the Third lighthouse district, Tompkins- ville, N. Y. It is meant to assist the sailor to locate his position in a fog. Concerning it The Scientific American says: With its use the mariner can deter- mire the direction of any sound be- fore it can be heard without the instru- ment. The topophone is simple in con- struction, light in weight, portable, can rHHE TOPOPHOxE IN USE. be used in any part of a vessel, and any one with normal hearing can soon become proficient in its use. It consists of two acoustic receivers or trumpets, pointing in opposite direc- tions and supported on a vertical shaft. From the lower ends of the trumpets extend rubber tubes connected with the ears by specially constructed earpieces. The observer bolds the shaft so that the instrument is above his head. If a sound is heard in either ear—the right ear, for example—it shows at once that the sound must be somewhere on his right hand side. If he then turns to the right until the sound is heard in his leftear, it shows that he has passed the direction of the sound. 41 be then oscillates the trumpets so that the sound is heard alternately in each ear, the sound will be in the direction in- side the angle of oscillation. This an- gle generally is about one point of the compass. The whole operation is sim- ple, and the above operations take but a fewi seconds. As soon as the direction of the sound is ascertained, the observer can keep the topophone pointed in its direction, and, knowing the speed of the vessel and its course, the location of the sound can be quickly plotted accurate- ly enough for all practical purposes. THE ELECTRICAL WORLD. An electrical passenger railway com- pany in Ohio has equipped all its cars with telephones for the use of its pa- trons. The electrical radiophone is a new instrument invented by a French scien- tist which detects the exact nature of air currents. The postoffice department at Wash- ington Is testing an electrical device by whicheach street mail box is connect- ed by wire with the central office and carrier collection is time recorded. • The Paudot multiplex type printing teh.•2•rc_ph. a French invention, is doing the v. hole telegraph business between Berlin and Paris, which heretofore re- quired five telegraph lines, easily over one wire. A scheme for the transmission of electric power and its distribution on an enormous 'scale is to be tried in north Germany. It is proposed to util- ize the great peat beds there for the manufacture of currents. A new hotel which is to be built in New York will have many interesting electrical features, among which will be a system of electric service eleva- tors, or movable pantries, fitted with electric heating tables. They will be run through every apartment. Sugar by Electricity, - A means for the extraction of differ- ent sugars by electrolysis has been re- cently tested on a commercial basis, and it Is believed the process will open up a new department in sugar manu- facture, says a British scientist. The method employed consists in the use of inetallic plates as electrodes in connec- tion with a wood vat divided into three compartments. The saccharine juice is placed in the central division, those at the two ends being filled with pure water. On the passage of the electric current the albuminoids and other sub- stances in the juice coagulate and are precipitated. The salts are decompos- ed, and the juice becomes limpid and colorless, the lime and magnesia set- - tling at the bottom. The soda, potassa and ammonia are drawn to the end vats. Cneating tae Cat. The meanest man is around town in many guises and in considerable num- bers, but the meanest woman is a re- cent discovery. She lives in Phila- delphia, and for the sake of saving a cent a day she cheats the cat by giving her each morning a saucerful of milk, and after about two teaspoonfuls of it have been lapped up she dilutes the milk with water and continues to do so till evening. When remonstrated with by her husband recently she said: "Well, the cat doesn't know the dif- ference. It looks like milk, anyhow, and If I didn't thin it out for her we'd bave to bay. 2 cents' worth for break- fast each day."—Philadelphia Record. . The Diesel Requires No Stoker and Emits No Smell or Smoke. *The Diesel engine 1s a new thing, rich with promise. It has no boiler and no furnace; it requires no stoker; it emits no smell or smoke. I have seen a 22 horsepower specimen at work near Manchester, writes a correspond- ent of the London News, and the prin- ciple is equally applicable to an engine of 2,200 horsepower. Its fuel is vari- ous. The Manchester specimen feeds on air and oil—ordingry air and oil of the coarsest and cheapest. .Gases—in- eluding, it is believed, one that is at present a waste product—and coal dust, also in conjunction with air, are alter- native articles of diet. In any case, the Diesel requires only half as much food as.other engines. And now to give some clew to the why and wherefore. The returning pis- ton in the latter stage of the stroke compresses air until it is sufficiently hot to ignite oil that is gradually in- jected, and the resulting expansion pro- pels the piston again. The inodorous and invisible product of combustion is expelled from the cylinder by a current of air having play during the earlier stage of the piston's return. An initial thrust of the piston is secured by the I Introduction of compressed air from a , c A CURE FOR CANCER. MINNESOTA OO ETY ii per Tear 1n Advance. is per Year 1t not is Advance. California Physician Declares the Z Ray Is a Sure Remedy. Much interest has been aroused by the declaration of Dr. J. M. Selfridge of Oakland, Cal., that cancer eau be cured by means of the X ray. Dr. Selfridge, who says he has effect- ed several cures, declares the treatment is simple and painless. He has used it on himself with highly satisfactory re- sults. He said in a recent interview: en the X ray was discovered, I was naturally interested from a purely scientific standpoint. Later I was dou- bly interested to learn that several emi- nent German scientists were experi- menting on cancers with the X ray. At first they did not meet with much suc- cess, but when I realized that the green light had an effect on the growth I de- termined to experiment on my own ac- count. "I secured a machine, and, after plac- ing a lead mask over my face, entirely covering it save where I was afflicted, I began systematic treatment. I found relief from the beginning. Now I am thoroughly cured. "My theory is that the X ray kills the molecules which constitute the primal cells where life actually begins. It fre- quently takes thousands of these mole- ules to make a single cell of the tissue. The deterioration or -decay of these molecules, I judge, may eause cancer. t probably does. "The X ray has the effect of drying up these atoms and in time prevents the spread of cancer. Ultimately it kills the disease. I am positive when I sag the X ray can cure cancer." special reservoir. It only remains.to explain how it is that the new engine gives forth nei- ther smoke nor smell. Complete com- bustion of fuel is the ideal that Mr. Diesel has aimed at and apparently achieved. The smell that comes from oil motors and the smoke that 'arises from chimneys (it has been explained' to ane) both represent fuel which, ow- ing to a deficiency of available oxygen, has escaped combustion and employ- ment. In the new engine air and oil (or other fuel) are balanced, or, rather, the former is introduced in excess of the quantity necessary for the consumption of the latter. ' SALT AND PEPPER. Both These Articles Highly Valuable In a Hygienle Sense. A writer in the New York Evening World says that salt and pepper are not only of value in bringing out the flavor of the food to which they are added, but are very valuable from a health standpoint. In eastern countries the condiments, such as pepper, are used to profusion in all foods. Gastric troubles, common enough in other countries, are conspic- uously absent, and the free use of pep- per has much to do with that fact. Salt and pepper work against fermentation. When the stomach is out of order or, as the common saying is, upset, it is in a state of fermentation. A certain very wise physician who has advanced to the point where drugs seem the unimportant thing and com- mon sense the important in making the sick well is advocating the use of pep- per and salt even in a glass of milk. It improves the flavor to a remarkable de- gree, a fact you can prove to your own satisfaction by taking two glasses of milk, one in its original simplicity, the other changed by the addition of a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, then sip a little of each. The chances are that you will prefer the seasoned milk. Besides improving the flavor and overcoming the tendency toward fer- mentation, the pepper will , practically disable any microbes that may be float- ing in the fluids. Thus the gastric juices will perform their perfect work of changing microbes to food. The Chemistry of Tears. Tears have their functional duty to accomplish, like every other fluid of the body, and the lachrymal gland is not placed behind the eye simply to fill space or to give expression to emotion. The chemical properties of tears, says The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. consist of phosphate of lime and soda, making them very salty, but never bit- ter. itter. Their action on the eye is very beneficial, and here consists their pre- scribed duty of the body, washing thor- oughly that sensitive organ, which al- lows no foreign fluid to do the same work. A Marvel of Surgery. Surgery has reached a point at which almost any marvel may be expected, but it has remained for a Russian sur geon to attempt and succeed in per- forming an operation hitherto regarded as flatly impossible. He has repaired the great femoral artery—has spliced on to it an artificial length, just as a plumber might solder a piece of leaden pipe to a brass one. Revolving Kites For Signaling, William A. Eddy has demonstrated that a windmill with a revolving up- right shaft and horizontal revolving bars three feet In diameter can be car- ried to a great height by means of mammoth kites and made to revolve suspended lanterns with greater light power than the revolving single lights used by the lighthouses. A Serum Discovery. Two well known Austrian scientists, Professor Loeffler and Dr. Uhlenruth, announce that they have discovered a serum which will protect animals against the foot and mouth disease. This serum affords animals inoculated with it immunity for from four to eight weeks against infection from the disease. Qmtes.

LEARNING TELEGRAPHY. A Novel Device That Should Aid Would Be Operators. It takes the ordinary telegraph pupil a long time to read infallibly the tick- ing of the sounder. An instrument has appeared, says a writer in the Chicago Record -Herald, which is designed to simplify instructions in telegraphy and to give in a comparatively short time a complete knowledge of the Morse al- phabet. The omnigrapb, as this instrument is called, consists of a base board on which are an ordinary key and sounder and a toothed disk. A spring contact adjacent to the wheel engages the pe- ripheral teeth of the disk. If the disk be rotated, the spring contact is forced outwardly by the teeth, but drops back automatically and thus makes and breaks the circuit. The experienced telegraph operator detecting these makes and breaks of the sounder rec- ognizes them as the dots and dashes of the Morse alphabet. A close inspection of the disk reveals the fact that the teeth are so arranged as to spell the sentence "John quickly extemporized five tow bags." If the disk be turned in a forward direction, this sentence, thus oddly worded to in- clude every letter of the alphabet, Is ticked off at the sounder. If rotated in the opposite direction, the sentence will be telegraphed backward. This disk, which is completely under the control of the student, can be turn- ed at any desired speed, thus giving him an admirable opportunity of try- ing himself at all gaits. If he is not a quick reader, the practice can be taken at a slow rate and gradually worked up until it reaches a speed that would try the most skillful operator. When the student has learned to receive mes sages at ail grades of speed, he can take up the transmission of messages in the regular way liy means of the key which forms part of the apparatus. Uses of Scrub Palmetto. It has been discovered that the saw palmetto is both a source of health and of wealth, and the probabilities are that at a day not far In the future it will be adding largely to the prosperity of the sections which formerly cut it down and cast it into the fire. The medical properties of it have been found very valuable in the treatment of kidney and other troubles, and vari- ous proprietary medicines manufactur- ed from the saw palmetto are now find- ing their way into the markets: Ras Invented a Talking Clock. An ingenious Austrian inventor has just patented a speaking clock which he claims will be of the greatest value to persons of forgetful and irregular habits. It consists of a dock phono- graph combination. In place of the usu- al striking attachment is a phono- graph which cap be set to speak a sen- tence at any time desired, thus becom- ing an unfailing. reminder to its owner of the duties of any hour. Elect of Light on Silkworms. M. Camille Flammarion, the celebrat- ed astronomer, has been studying the effect of colored light on silkworms. White light yields the maximum' and blue light the minimum production of silk. Next to white light the purple of the red end of the spectrum gives the best results. Blue rays increase the number of males and "warm rays" the number of eggs laid by the females. Woman Iavents a Condensed Food, Mrs. L. O. Person of Chicago has in- vented a condensed food, or emergency ration, which is said to possess great merit. The new condensed food Is a simple compound of pork and beans compressed into a cake. Unlike pem- mican and some other compressed foods, there is nothing at all unpleasant In its appearance, the inventor says, and it is not unpalatable.

Steel threatens to displace wood for cofferdams aid sheathing used in tun- nel, dock and bridge construction, sew- er building and like work, says the Chi- cago Record -Herald. Patents have been secured by George W. Jackson, who be- lieves that his invention will revolu- tionize all tunnel and other forms of submarine operations. For many years one of the most trou- blesome features in marine foundation work has been the construction of a substantial cofferdam or sheathing At a reasonable expense. Mr. Jackson has had the problem in his mind for a long whale and a few months ago evolved the idea to use steel "I" beams and channel Irons for sheathing in place of wood, the channel beams being riveted together in pairs in such a way as to allow of the "I" beams sliding down between and joining them, thus mak- ing a water tight barrler•of unlimited length that could be driven into the hardest clay. While what is known as the Wake- field system of sheathings, built of lum- ber, can only be used once in the mak- ing of cofferdams and necessitates as much expense in pulling it up after its purposes are completed as it does to put it down, the new Invention can be removed without any trouble, the Inter- secting parts sliding out of their grooves very easily. The steel beams can also be driven into bottom soil without any danger of splitting or parting, and they can be se- cured to any lengths from one foot to 80. Mr. Jackson's invention of curved plates enables the wail to be made at any angle, and the hollow portions of the channel bars can be left as they are or filled with moss, clay or cement. NOVEL HAY STACKER. Invention of a Montana Man Design- ed to Benefit the Farmer, The Scientific American announces that a patent has been Issued to Mar- vin C. Hutchings of Bozeman, Mon., Which provides a hoisting device to be used as a bay stacker, derrick and the like. The device consists of a base con- structed in adjustable sections locked DERRICK WITS HAY FORK ATTACHED together by a key which is inserted in one of three recesses formed in the sec- tions. In sockets at the ends of the base sections side sections having ball ends are received. Thus universal joints are produced. The side sections are composed of sliding members, the upper of which are raised by a ratchet drum and rope. Forked guy ropes support the side sec- tions, corresponding members of the forked portions of the guy ropes being connected at the same side of the side members and adjacent to each other. A pulley is suspended between the upper portion of the upper members of the side sections, and over the pulley a hoist rope Is carried. The end of the hoist rope, If it be so desired, may be connected with a sling, a platform or with any device necessary in hoisting material of different kinds. MEDICAL NOTES. Dr. Las Cases of Rio Janeiro says he has discovered a cure for tuberculosis by injecting patients with a vegetable extract. For the first time in 18 years a new kind of ether has been discovered. The new compound is yellowish or orange 1n tint, is made from kresol or tbonitro brombenzine. It has been found that the blood cor- puscles are greatly Increased when a person from a low altitude reaches a higher one, but this effect, with the powerful stimulus involved, is only transitory. The apple -is an excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than other fruits. It excites the action of the liver, pro- motes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. Cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and broccoli are cooling, nutritive, lax- ative and purifying to the blood and al- so act as tonics, but should not be eaten too freely by delicate persons. Celery is good for rheumatic and gouty per- sons. Hygien/o. "Your poetry," we ventured, "Is emi- nently healthyr ".It should be!" rejoined the poet, with dignity.

"The world was a long time learning the uses and value of rubber," says H. E. Armstrong in Ainslee's. "For two centuries after the Spaniards saw the gum itt the hands of natives of the new world it was little more than a curios- ity. Old Herrea, who went with Co- lumbus on his second voyage, made a note of an elastic ball which was mold- ed from the gum of a tree. At their fames the nude Haitians made It bound high in the air. The Aztecs were familiar with the gum and called it ule, and from them the Spaniards learned to smear it on their coats to keep out the wet. They had crossed the seas for gold and never dreamed of a time when the sticky milk the uncouth In- dians drew from strange trees would be worth more than the treasure of the hills. "Jose, king of Portugal, In 1555, comes down to us as the wearer of a pair of boots sent out to Para to be covered with a waterproof gum. Yet 300 years were to elapse before a Connecticut Yankee should make a pair of boots of rubber which would not decompose. Dr. Priestly, author of a work on 'Per- spective,' now forgotten, recorded that caoutchouc (pronounced kachook) was useful in small cubes for rubbing out pencil marks; hence the name rubber. The India linked with It refers to the savages who gathered it In the Amazon wilderness. Dr. Priestly's cubes were half an inch long and sold for 3 shil- lings, or 75 cents, apiece—a stiff price, for the finest rubber today is $1 a pound. Its price for ten years has ranged from 62 cents to $1.09. "The conversion of the gum to useful purposes made but slow headway. The first waterproof cloth in 1797 was the work of an Englishman. It was tenta- tive, and, of course, it would not stand heat. In 1823 Charles Mackintosh of Glasgow discovered naphtha and, dis- solving rubber in it, produced a varnish which, when spread on cloth, made it really impervious to water. Most of the rubber used in the world still comes from equatorial South America, and the forests where the Indians gathered ule are as dense today and almost as little known to white men as in the time of Cortes." Why They Were Selected. It bas been recprded that General Henry Knox, in 1783, was the "great- est" of 11 distinguished officers of the army, weighing 280 pounds. Noab Brooks, In his book entitled "Henry Knox," gives the following incident re- lating to the general's full habit: With a Captain Sargent, he was se- lected to present the hard case of the starving and naked men at Valley Forge to the attention of a committee of congress. One of the congressmen, wishing to show his wit and sarcasm; said that he had never seen a fatter man than General Knox nor a better dressed man than his associate. Knox managed to keep his temper and remained silent, but bis subor- dinate retorted. "The corps, out of re- spect to congress and themselves, have sent as their representatives the only man who had an ounce of superfluous flesh on his body and the only other man who possessed a complete suit of clothes." Our System of Notation. Some system of notation has been used since time out of memory. The first record we have of it Is of figures written with a stick on a flat surface covered with sand. Before that all calculations were made with pebbles, beans and the like. Even now the Chinese do their calculating with little stones or beads strung on wires, in a frame. The Romans first used vertical lines—I, II, III, etc.—to express num- bers. - The Arabic figures, which we commonly use at the present time, are of much earlier date. The Arabic system Is chiefly valu- able on account of the great conven- ience it affords by giving a figure a value according to the place It occu- pies in the line. By this system the most enormous sums can be expressed by the ten little characters which form the numerical alphabet. Metaphor. The Minneapolis (Kan.) Messenger says: "We once heard Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt eulogize Mrs. Stanton, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Susan B. Anthony as follows: 'These are the wo- men who laid themselves down in the dust, as it were, to form a bridge over which you and I might go dry shod.' "Once we beard the president of Brown university describe the old char- ter oak, first as a safety vault, then as a hearthstone, and at last he made lightning change and brought out the old tree as; the rudder to the chip of state. That beat anything we ever beard and the greater surprise, too, coming as It did from such a profound sdholar." A Novelty In Bridges. A very peculiar bridge is being con- structed over the Mary river at Mary - borough, Queensland, in that it is be- ing designed so that its surface will be submerged several times during the year at the seasons of high floods. The idea of building the bridge in this way is fo save the material that would be required to build it sufficiently higb to escape submersion at high water. The country on the banks of the Mary river lies so low that the approaches would have to be extraordinarily long to be entirely out of the water during floods, and tbls would have involved an immense expense. Am=ber Of Asteroids. The number of known asteroids is brow rapidly nearing 500 Alvary Finished the Kiss. "A beautiful scene," said an old thea- ter goer, "may be utterly ruined by some trifling mistake, and an error of seemingly infinitesimal dimensions throw out an entire company. Often-. times, however, the ready wit and pres- ence of mind of an actor or actress may save the day and turn what might oth- erwise have been disaster into triumph. One of the most difficult of all scenes to early off successfully occurs in the op- era of 'Siegfried.' You will remember that Siegfried awakens Brunnhilde from her long sleep with a kiss. Wag- ner has so arranged it that the kiss seems as long to the audience as the immortal slumber itself. In reality it Pasts about 70 seconds, but it seems un- ending. It is a most trying situation or the singers, for the audience is ex- tremely likely to grow restless. "Some years ago at a performance of 'Siegfried' in St. Louis Alvary—poor chap!—was singing Siegfried to Mme. Sucher's Brunnhilde. Ile bad got about half way through his lengthy oscula- tion when the gallery began a succes- sion of smacks, constantly increasing in volume. It was a critical moment; but, as the event proved, one that was to add to Alvery's already large wreath of laurels. "Slowly he raised his magnificently handsome bead and turned toward' the audience and silently looked the galler- ies into silence. In ten seconds he had completely mastered them, and you could have heard a pin drop In .the great house. Then he dropped his face on that of Brunnhilde, and that kiss went on to its appointed and Sapholike finish without further interruption from the audience. It was as fine an exhibition of the control a great per- sonality can exercise over an audience as I have ever witnessed."—New York Tribune. His After Dinner Speech. There is no field of mental effort in which success in its most flattering form may be won quicker than on the after dinner platform. The man who can amuse and instruct such an audi- ence, for instance, as that which as- sembles each year at the New England society dinner, perhaps the most crit- ical in New York, may awake to find himself famous. A few hours before Henry W. Grady of Atlanta was to speak at the New England society's dinner in 1886 a correspondent of a southern newspaper asked him what he would say, and be replied: "The Lord only knows. 1 have thought of 1,000 things to say, 500 of which if I say they will murder me when I get back home, and if I say the other 500 they will murder me at the banquet." The ovation which the young, smooth faced southerner, almost unknown In New York, received at the dinner that night when the last ringing sentence of his speech had been spoken never has been equaled on a similar occa- sion, and his fellow citizens at borne stood for hours in the rain in crowds waiting to greet him on his arrival as the spokesman of the new south. His progress from a local to a national reputation had been made in a bound. —Ainslee's Magazine. One of the Queer Sights of Brooklyn. "Speaking of queer things that hap- pen in Brooklyn," said a member of the finance department, "a few nights ago I was going out on a late train on the Fifth avenue elevated road. There were few passengers in the ear. Sit- ting opposite me was a demure looking Brooklynite with a large bundle under each arm. The bundles were closely wrapped with newspapers. "Suddenly a violent internal move- ment agitated the bundle under the man's lett arm, and a moment later the head of a large game rooster broke through the paper- As soon as the roost- er's head was clear he crowed loud and defiantly. Then the bundle under the other arm heaved and struggled, another beak and comb appeared, and the crow of defiance was promptly an- swered by one of challenge. "Then for five minutes those two roosters crowed at 80 seconds' Inter - vale, while their owner struggled des- perately to get them back into the wrappings where he had thought them effectually concealed.

Whatever other fate might befall it. saturalists agree that the common house fly cannot be drowned and many experiments have been made in rela- tion thereto. Included in such tests was the im- mersion of a fiy in a tumbler of clear cold water, with a piece of cardboard to fit the glass and floated so as to keep the Insect beneath the surface. 8e little did the fly trouble about such an obstacle that it kept near the bottom of the glass, and there for a quarter of an hour ran about as freely ai In the fresh air, while It at times crawled across the underside of .the pasteboard as on the ceiling of a room. After being immersed for 20 ,minutes the fly's movements were less active, and at 25 minutes it turned over on its side, apparently dead. It bung sus- pended In the water just under the pasteboard, which kept It from rising to the surface, and there it remained for another 25 minutes. •It was then taken out and placed on a sheet of paper, looking to all appear- ance dead. Its next fate was to be buried by being covered with about half a teaspoonful of fine salt. At the end of 15 minutes the saline was shaken off, the fly having thus been completely covered either by water or by salt for 65 minutes. Immediately upon its release the in- sect trimmed its wings and legs active- ly for awhile and then flew away.— Pearson's Weekly. Why Monarchs Were Insane. Pathologists have often pointed out the fact that physical and mental en- ervation are apt to go hand in hand, and the Intellectual degeneracy of eti- quette monarchs may have a good deal teedo with the Sybaritism of their pal- ace life. The plebeian functions which mediae- val sovereigns were obliged to perform by proxy included the adjustment of their gals gloves. They had flunkies to remove their cravats and warm their nightshirts, unplait their pigtails and tuck up their bedclothes around their shoulders. In the morning courtiers competed for the honor of holding .. their washbasin. Peers of the realm waited on bended knees to buckle their shoes.

Presently he stepped aside and gave bis "Right awayr' when a gentleman who was late sprang on to the footboard while the train was in motion and tried to obtain admission to one of the compart- ments. As the carriage came along the guard seised him by the coat and pulled him off, remarking that he must think him- self lucky, for he had practically saved his life. As this conversation was going on the guard's van came by, and the guard, with that gracefulness acquired by constant practice, sailed majestical- ly on to his van. The gentleman, who had taken in the situation. thereupon seized him by the coat and pulled him off, saying as the train sped away: "One good turn deserves another.

Weiler, of Em- pire, had lost his legs by the cars, which fortunately proves erroneous. The information was brought into town by some farmer, there was no time to verify it, and the item was accordingly published for what it was worth. The next morning at Hampton, the first station from there on the same road and only four miles apart, Adam Weiler lost both his legs while crossing the track, the accident resulting fatally. The two men, though bearing the same sur- name, are not related. It is a remarkable coincidence and akin to prophecy.

Sunday morning, May 5th, Mr. F. J. Benson, of Inver Grove, Dakota County, passed away after an illness of a few days. Mr. Benson was a much respected and loved uncle of ours, and it is a sad task indeed for us to chronicle his death. Mr. Ben- son was born July 2d, 1837, on Mount Desert Island, Me., and came to the territory of Minnesota with his pa- rents, brothers, and sisters in the spring of 1852, his father pre-empting a farm on the west bank of the Mis- sissippi River a short distance below where Inver Grove Station now stands. The country at that time was an alinost unbroken wilderness, and Mr. Benson has seen all this changed to the splendid civilization of the present day. In 1861 he was married to Miss Margaret J. Thongs, a most estimable lady, who died in 1888. Five children were boru to them, all of whom are still living, Mrs. Frank Hutchins, of Newport, Orin D., now in Idaho, Elmer E., of St. Cloud, Howard, of Heron Lake, and Flavius, of St. Paul. Mr. Ben- son was again married a little over two years ago to a most kind and af- fectionate wife, who survives him, Besides his wife and children and many other relatives and friends ,Mr. Benson leaves three sisters, one broth, er, and an aged mother to mourn his loss; Mrs. Sarah Gibbs, of Spooner, Wis., Mrs. Mary Southwick, of Wells, J. W., of Heron Lake, and Mrs. F. M. Southwick, of Minneapolis. His mother is full of years, her physical being weakened by the flight of time, but her intellect, that window of the soul, remains undimmed as a half century ago. For about thirty-seven years Mr. Belison has owned and lived on the farm where he died, the same being on the river hank a mile below the one where his father settled in 1852. For more than a third of a century this beautiful spot on the river bank has been his home, chil- dren have grown to middle aged men and womanhood, neighbors have gone or passed to that bourne from whence no traveler may return, and yet in looking back over those years they appear but as a hand's breadth, nor had time fallen heavily on Air.

A Noteworthy Combination, The consolidation of The Chicago Rec- ord and The Chicago Times -Herald was one of the most important events in the history of modern metropolitan journal- ism. People familiar with the newspa- pers published in the great capitals of the world say that the best daily papers are made in Chicago, and it is well known that The Chicago Record and The Chica- go Times -Herald ranked at the very front among Chicago's best dailies. Each cov- ered the world's news thoroughly every day, and each possessed also distinctive special features giving it that individual- ity so attractive to its readers. Now that the two have been combined, all the re- sources and world-wide facilities of both papers are united in The Chicago Record - Herald. It is in truth a great combina- tion—a combination without parallel in American journalism. The fortunate readers of The Chicago Record and The Chicago Times -Herald now receive every day a newspaper whose news facilities are unequaled by any other American news- paper. Fought for His Life.

The Story of a Faithful Slave's Faith In Her Master's Prom- ise to Return. BY HAYS BLACKMAN. 000000000000 Beyond the neglected shrubbery, blackened timbers and the crumb heap of bricks that marked the p where the big house of the planta had stood before the war was a s inclosure surrounded by a rail fenc In the plat°dwere two graves—t of a grown person and a little child Without the rail fence nature done her best, hiding the scars of under a tangle of wild honeysu that wrapped the vines of the old slop ilx a caressing greenery. But within the inclosure there evidence that nature had a helper her ministry. The plantation kitchen was a b building that stood just back of ruins of the house. From the door frequent passage of feet had worn path through the buffalo grass to rail fence and the top rail of the pa of fence to which the path led smooth and sagging, where an negress had climbed over it ever,, for many years. She stood this morning in the li burying ground. She had been clipp the grass in the inclosure and graves were coverd with roses—wh roses of the old fashioned "thousa leaved" varlet, that grow in old g dens. The old woman bad broug them from the garden at Captain T rill's, where Captain Terrill's wife, t new mistress of the plantation, ga her flowers for the graves or pro stows fur her larder with a beauti impartiality. Captain Terrill, riding down the lee road to the field, saw the pathetic fl ure by the graves and drew rein at t fence, "Howdy, Aunt Charlotte?" be calle "Your graves look mighty nice th morning." The old woman straightened her be back. "How you 'come on, Mist' Joe?" s inquired. "You lookin peart. I'se 31 tolluble, thanky, suh. Yes, sub, d grebes moughty fine. Miss Dell gi me de roses fo' Miss Ma'gret's grab dis mawnin. Miss Dell moughty goo to me, Mist' Joe." The young owner of the plantation smiled and nodded as fie touched ba Selim with the whip. "That's all right, Aunt Charlotte, he called over his shoulder. "You g to your Miss Dell for anything yo need." Aunt Charlotte watched him out o sight beyond the bend in the leve road. She sighed as she turned bac to the graves. "Miss Dell moughty good," she said stooping to touch a flower on Miss Mar garet's grave. "She moughty good, bu her an Mist' Joe ain't my own folkses. A tear rolled down her wither cheek and fell among the roses. "Miss Ma'gret," she whispered, "I's lonesome, Miss Ma'gret. Cyan't yo ax de good Lord to sen' Marse Cunn home an tek po' ole Charlotte ion er you an 111' Marse John?" One June morning, just after the des- perate struggle to rend the Union asun der bean, Colonel Murray rode away from Riverview to join the Confederate forces. From the door of the big house Miss Margaret watched him, and Char- lotte held the colonel's little son up in her arms that he might watch the erect figure on tbe big horse out of sight be- yond the bend in the levee road. "Charlotte." Colonel Murray had said, "I know you are faithful. I leave your Miss Margaret and your little Marse John in your especial care. Until I come home again I will hold you re- sponsible for their welfare." After her master had ridden away Aunt Charlotte took up her trust. How faithfully she had fulfilled it only Miss Margaret and little Marse John could have told—Miss Margaret and little Marse John wbo slept beneath the roses. The colonel had never come back to Riverview. The tide of war swept over the plantation and the soldiers left desolation behind them. When they burned the big house, the flames spared the brick kitchen, that, after the south- ern fashion, stood at some distance from the main building. And here, while the flames from the house, the outbuildings and the negro cabins in the quarter lighted the level delta country for miles, Aunt Charlotte car- ried her mistress and little Marse John. And here she had lived ever since. The little boy died of a slow fever the last year of the war. Aunt 'Charlotte herself dug the little gri V near the house so that Miss Margaret: might still have her boy close to her. Miss Mar- garet lived till three years after the war, a heartbroken woman, for whom; the faithful n eared tenderly and patiently as lilting, fretful child. .- When at 1'th*tlotte turned from the new grave beside little Marse John's, it was to new ,responsibility—to wait for Marse Colonel; to keep the graves fresh and green; to give back to him the trust she had kept. She had waited now for more than 89 years and though to every one else the colonel's nalge was only a memory Aunt Char)olre Oil believed that he would come. On the night after Captain Terrill had stopped at the fence on his way to the fields Aunt Charlotte sat by the hearth in the old kitchen. As always, her thoughts were in the past. For her the breeze that blew through the open door, damp and sweet, was heavy with the ling lace tion mall e. Bose • had war ckle man - was in "Is it you, Charlotte?" the stranger said. "Charlotte, where is my wife? rick Where is the home? Where is your the little Marse John.?John.?I left them in your the care." a The old woman gave one cry of hap - the piness. nel "Marse Cunnel," she cried, "my mar- -as ster! Bross Gawd dat you come home. old «hut dey do to you, ole marse, dat you day look dat ole an po'?" "I want my wife and child," the man the repeated sharply. ing The old woman knelt at his feet. the "Marse Cunnel, dey bete gone dese ite many yeahs," she said, her tears be- nd ginning to fall. ar- "Gone," he said after her—"both bt gone?" er- "I done de bes' I could, Marse Cun- be nel," she begged. "Gawd knows dat I ve kep' dat trus' de bes' I could. I kep' vi- de grebes reoughty nice an green, sub." ful "The graves!" this wreck of her old master shouted. "Dead! Margaret ee dead! My God!" g_ He pushed away Aunt Charlotte's de - he taining hands and rushed out into the night. d. "Laved," Aunt Charlotte whispered, kneeling with upraised bands where her master had left her, "you know dat I done filled dat 'spons'bility de bes' dat I knowed how. 0 Lawd, you know how I wuk with dem grebes an cut de grass and fotch de water an kep' um green. Miss Ma'gret, Miss Ma'- gret, I'se ole an lonesome. De 'spons'- bility is ober. Ax Gawd to lemme come erlong wid you an li'l' Marse John." They found the colonel next morning lying among the faded roses on his wife's grave. And in the old kitchen, on the bed where Miss Margaret had died, Aunt Charlotte lay, her responsi- bility over, the years of her trust ful- filled. Three days later, when the keepers of a northern. insane asylum came to Riv- erview in search of an escaped patient who had been an inmate of the institu- tion for more than 30 years, and who had never been able to tell them where was his home and who were his friends, they found two new graves in the plat behind the rail fence. Master and mistress and faithful servant were united.—St. Louis Repub- lic. the fragrance of the roses that bloom- ed by the galleries of the big house 30 years before, A negro melody broke the stillness of the night. To the old woman the song came from the quarters where long ago the negroes sang on summer nights like this, and tbe years rolled back to give her again master and mistress and the old care free, irresponsible, happy life.. "We gwine fix dis heah place up w'en Marse Cunnel come home," Aunt Char- lotte mused. "Miss Dell say Marse Cunnel daid. She say he ain't nevelt gwine come back. Law! Miss Dell ain't know my ole marster. 'Miss Dell,' I say, 'my Marse Cunnel nevah bruk he wud yit. He done 'low be gwinIScome back, an he comfit.' Moughty long time bit tek 'im.

Her jaw dropped, and ber face grew gray with fear. A man stood in the doorway. Be- hind him the darkness made a frame for his figure, and the fire that flickered on the hearth—kindled there to light the room—showed his ragged clothing, glinted on the tangled white h it that covered his head and the white beard that hung unkempt on his breast. His eyes looked out hungrily from beneath shaggy brows. He took a step into the room. Aunt Charlotte rose to her feet. is nt he st e n e d y 0 u f e k t ed e u el g A. Successful Ruse. Mark Twain once used a successful ruse to attract the attention of Presi- dent Cleveland to an injustice which he thought was about to be done to Consul General Mason at Frankfort, one of the best men in the service. Mason was notified that his resignation was expected and that a Mr. Rapp of Illinois was to be his successor. He was packing up his goods when Mark Twain happened around that way and visited the consulate. Being informed of the situation, tbe latter wrote a letter to Ruth Cleveland, the baby daughter of the president, telling her that he could not interfere in matters of patronage because be was a Mugwump, but he considered it a shame that a man o? experience and ability like Consul General Mason should be turned out of office simply because some Democrat who knew nothing about its duties wanted the place. He said that he was acquaint- ed with a great many consuls and 'that Captain Mason was the best he had ever known, and if her father ever con- sulted- her about the consular service he suggested that she advise him not to disturb good men merely to give places to politicians. About a month later Mr. Clemens re- ceived a little note in President Cleve- land's handwriting, in which Miss Ruth Cleveland presented her compli- ments to Mark Twain, thanked him f r calling attention to the threatened r - moval of Consul Mason and said th if he knew of any similar cases t' president would be glad to hear fro him. Uses of Artificial Silk. Before the Frankfort (Germany) So- ciety of Natural Philosophy Dr. Freund in a recent lecture on the subject said that though artificial silk can compete with natural silk, it is not as valuable. Artificial silk bas been used as a cover- ing for cables and as a substitute for horsehair, but it has a tendency to break if wetted, and therefore it must usually be mixed with natural silk and cotton. The artificial silk is cheaper than the natural, and more brilliant ef- fects can be produced with it.

FOR THE GIRL GRADUATE. The Frock and Pretty Details of the All Important Toilet. The illustration and a number of sug- gestions from The New Idea Magazine will give any prospective girl graduate correct information in regard to what is good style for her gown and all the pretty but perplexing details of ber toi- let. Anything elaborate or especially rich and showy is considered bad form in graduating frocks. They are modeled somewhat after the plan of the debu- tante's gown, simple and in a fashion suitable for lots of summer time wear. The college girl graduate comes forth in a gown somewhat dressier than the high school girl or the girl in an exclu- sive private school. A lovely new gown for a college girl Is of fine white point d'esprit trimmed with renaissance lace and white satin ribbon. The skirt is full, as are many of the newest skirts of gauzy stuffs, and worn over a plain silk drop skirt lining. The full yoke and sleeves are of white chiffon. The only touch of color is in the bunch of pink rosebuds worn in the hair and repeated at the front of the skirt flounce, a pretty fad of a New York girl graduate. Where there is to be a week of festivities a semidressy cape of lightweight wool, silk and wool or silk muslin is desira- ble. At a private school, no matter bow fashionable, a very simple frock ap- propriate for a summer afternoon Is selected. Sweet 16 is usually about the age limit of the high school graduate; hence her gown is the simplest and most girl- ish of all in effect. White kid slippers and white open- work stockings inay be worn and are dear to the heart of most young girls, but the truth is they are not nearly so smart and correct as black silk or lisle thread stockings and black patent leather ties, slippers or pumps. Gloves may or may not be worn. as the class shall decide. The hair will be worn low this spring by all the fashionable girl graduates FOR THE COLLEGE GIRL. and surely adorned, but not in any set way. becomingness being the only con- sideration. The new hair bow is of white satin and only suited to fresh young faces. A single crush rose nestled in the front of the pompadour is a charming fad of some New York girls. Jewelry of all kinds is strictly tar booed, except the class ring and a use- ful stickpin or two. Large bridelike bunches of flowers are not carried. The proper thing is a moderately small bunch of tiny pink rosebuds, violets, heliotrope or forget- menots with maidenhair ferns and rib- bon or fine cord and tassel. No colors in graduating attire, not even the faintest pastel tints, if you would be really in style. If the gown must be inexpensive, se- lect dotted swiss or cotton silk muslin or a dimity. Cooking School Knowledge. Good Housekeeping furnishes these items: Dip smelts or fish of any sort in lem- on juice when you wish to keep the flesh white. If you keep parsley wrapped up In a piece of wet cheesecloth, you can keep it for several weeks without spoiling. When molding a cream mixture or gelatin mixture, have a "mold just the right size. It is not so apt to break when turned out as if the mold Is too large. A cup of butter means 16 table- spoons. When we measure butter in a cup, we measure It packed solid. A spatula is very nice for turning cakes, omelets and small fish. Never leave a lemon or any acid jelly In a tin mold overnight, because it spoils the taste. Agate or eartben ware molds are best. If the gelatin in an earthen mold does not come out readily at first, set it In a dish of hot water for a minute or wet a dish towel and set the dish on it. Be careful that it doesn't stay too long. One cup of sauce means one cup of liquid, regardless of the amount of thickening and butter that you use. A Point in Plemaking. In making a custard pie remember that the baking is an important item. Experience may teach one just the point at which to interrupt the cook- ing. The best way is to watch the pie and remove it from the oven the mo- ment the custard reaches the boiling point. A custard ple Is spoiled if al- lowed to boil in the oven. Japan Ilas a Strange Disease. A strange disease has made its ap- pearance in Tokyo and in various other parts of Japan and is now spreading rapidly, to the consternation of the people. It is said to come from For- mosa, and it only attacks the cells of the hair, which it destroys once and forever, leaving the scalp as bare as a billiard ball. His Hair Stood on End. "Up to five years ago," said a pros- pector to a St. Louis Republic reporter, CI didn't believe in such a thing as a man's hair standing on end." And Men the old gentleman told the story of the fright that led him to change his mind: "I was in the mountains of Idaho with a friend, and we ran short of fresh meat, so one day I took my gun and started off alone. I went into a ravine and was making my way along a little brook when I came suddenly upon a queer sight. Not four feet in front of me, in the hull blaze of the sun, lay four mountain lions asleep. "For half a minute I thought them dead, but as I stood staring at them, with my heart In my mouth, every one of them sprank up with a growl. And they faced around at me, looking ugly, sniffing the air, with their whiskers drawn back, showing the white line of their teeth, switching their tails and looking like demons. "As for me, I stood rooted to the spot. I couldn't move from sheer fright. A queer, numb sensation began in my ankles and crept up my body, and I literally felt my hair rise. "I stood there motionless for several minutes. Then one of the beasts drop- ped his tail and whined. The others followed Itis example. My presence mystified them. A few seconds later they turned about and crept away down the ravine, looking back stealthi- ly two or three times to see me. "When they were out of sight, I be- gan to breathe again. I didn't care to bunt any More that day and made for the camp at top speed. That was the time my hair stood on en& and my scalp was sore to the.touch for a week afterward." A Cnreftrl Mother. This is a story one woman Is never tired of telling of a mother whose child had been ill -with scarlet fever. She always emphasizes the fact. too. that the mother was possessed, upon ordi- nary occasions, with good sense and would be called a more than ordinarily intelligent woman. She was, too, a more than ordinarily careful mother, and it was as an illustration of this that she told the story of the care of her boy to the friend who now repeats it. Not as much was known about sanitary conditions then as now, but it was not in a time of primitive igno- rance. "I always believe in taking the great- est care to prevent contagion in any disease," said the mother, "and with the fever I was extraordinarily care- ful. \Vfty, when the skin began to peel I rubbed the child down with my hands every day to remove every loose fragment, let it fall into a cloth, and then I gathered It up carefully and shook It out the window." The listener to that story laughed then and there, to the great surprise 'and ]ndignatiou of the mother, and laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance of a woman who claimed to have even a vestige of common sense.—New York Times. Will -o• -the -Wisp Salvation. A well known rector of an east end church was approached one day by a lady who said she desired to rent a seat in a row nearest the door of his church. The rector responded that the seats in that row were all free and that she was at liberty to occupy any one of them. but she persisted. saying that she desired to Have it for her own. Being somewhat curious as to ber reasons, the clerical gentleman said, "But, madam, tell me why you wish to sit so far back?" After some hesitancy she responded that she simply couldn't bear to have any one "sit behind her." "Yet you will be sitting behind oth- ers, who perhaps feel the same way," said the rector laughingly. "That may be," replied the devout lady earnestly, "but you know i have such a wretcbed little wisp of hair at the back of my bead that it would cer- tainly interfere with my devotions if I knew any one was looking at IL"— London Tit -Bits. Business is Business. He had obtained a place in a real es- tate office and was doing everything he could for the interests of his employers. The other evening he was at a social gathering and was asked to sing. He responded with "Home, Sweet Home." His friends were a little surprised at the selection, but lie was heartily ap- plauded. Stepping fo. ward, he said: "1 am glad you liked the song. There is nothing like 'Home, Sweet Home,' and let me say that the company I rep- resent is selling homes on terms to suit within 12 minutes' ride of the city. Ev- erybody ought to have a home. If you don't want to live there, it's the chance of your life for an investment."—Ex- change. The Tammany Tiger. The origin of the tiger as an emblem of Tammany is said to date from the time when William M. Tweed, then foreman of "Big Six" Fire company, took a fancy to a picture of a royal Bengal tiger In the fifties. Tweed adopted the emblem for the Americus club, and it soon was accepted by all Tammany. When Coronets Are Worn. The only occasion upon which a British peer or peeress wears a coronet is at the coronation of a sovereign. At the moment when the archbishop of Canterbury places the crown on the bead of the new monarch every peer present at the ceremony dons his own coronet. Enough to Retire On.

Willing to Hear of It.

Edison le Busy at Work on One. Thomas A. Edison, says the New York Journal, is at 'evork 01)00 an in- vention which if successful will revolu- tionise the electric autoutol.ile business. Manufacturers of these machines say that .uc•h an invent:oil will b^ as impor- tant stud as profitable a:s the invention of the telephone. Mr. Edison some time ago realized this and for months has been at work on the invention. Briefly staled, his idea is to construct a storage battery which will not have the excessive weight of the storage bat- tery now in use on electric machines and which will not be out of proportion to the load carried. So expensive is the present electric automobile that the business of coustructtng them is about to be abandoned in Chicago and New England. Many millions are invested in the automobile business, and a large proportion of it has been put in ma- chines of the electric type. It is understood that Mr. Edison has ordered two automobiles of this laud with the storage batteries left out. Ile will put In batteries of his own con- struction. These, it is said, he has re- cently invented, and he will make a long automobile tour to test them. Thoughts on Marriage. A little girl in Ireland was asked what was the sacrament of matrimony.

"Leave her alone," said the parish priest- "For anything you or I k!M,w to the contrary, she may be perfectly right." "Courting," said an Irishman, "Is like dying.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR VISITORS IN BUFFALO. Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and Rotomtng Hooses. Besides Many Pri- vate Homes. on the List. So much has been said and written about the ability of the city of Buffalo to care for the crowds which will at- tend the Pan-American Exposition this summer that a few facts and figures will be appreciated by the general pub- lic. In the first place, there are listed more than 200 hotels, which will give accommodation to 30,000 people; there are 650 boarding and rooming houses, affording accommodation for 18,500, while 7,000 owners of houses, most of whom never before hung out their latchstring for a consideration, have signified their intention of opening their houses for the accommodation of visitors to Buffalo this summer. These 7,000 homes will accommodate at least 100,000 visitors. The Exposition Company has arrang ed to furnish tent accommodation on the Exposition grounds for 250 uni- formed men. There are also two com- panies arranging tent systems which will afford additional accommodation outside of the grounds for 1,500 or so. In addition to all this, there are a large number of buildings throughout the city now being remodeled and con- verted into hotels, the plans of which are not far enough along to afford an accurate description or to estimate ac- commodation at the present time. It is safe to estimate the present capacit,, of the city of Buffalo to accommodate 150.000 strangers. To this may be add- ed accommodations for at least 50,000 in the surrounding towns, such as Ton- awanda, La Salle, Niagara halls, Lock port, Williamsville, Gardenville, De - pew and Lancaster, all within a short trolley ride of the city. Rates in hotels range from $1 pet day upward. As ridiculous stories have been circulated in regard to exorbitant hotel rates, It Is well to note the rates that have been established at the Iro- quois, the most expensive hotel in the city. These are, for one in a room without bath, $3 and upward; for two In a room without bath. $5 and upward, thus making the minimum rate $2.50 per individual. The rate for a room with bath for one person is $5 or fox two in a room $7.50. This is on the Eu- ropean plan. Of course there are rooms and suites of rooms in this hotel for much higher rates for those who wish to pay them. but the prices here given are the highest in the city for hotel accommodations as the term Is ordina• rtlyt ,}nderstood. A number of local reliable agencies are engaged in locating visitors in homes In the city. .These can be relied upon as being honest, straightforward and efficient. They are composed of business men of integrity, who will carefully protect strangers in the city, and visitors may feel assured of cour- teous treatment and safe conduct to ac- commodations which have received careful inspection. MUSIC AT THE EXPOSITION. Many of the Best Bands of the Unit- ed States to Be Heard at Buffalo. The musical features at the Pan- American Exposition will embrace the several classes of music. The most prominent will be the band music, fur- nished by some of the best known bands of the 1Vestern World.

William Mestayer, the comedian, once said: "I never saw Edwin Booth laugh heartily but once. We were playing 'Julius Caesar' at Baldwin's in Frisco. Booth was Brutus, McCullough„ was Cassius, Harry Edwards was Caesar and Charley Bishop and I were plain, everyday citizens. It was the last night of the run, and we all felt frisky. So when Caesar spoke the well known line, 'Let me have men about me that are fat,' Bishop and I, both fat men, walked boldly up to Caesar and shook him heartily by the hand. It broke Booth all up, and he laughed outright " The Japanese, although a cleanly people, are not fastidious on a journey. More than 90 per cent of their passen- gers go on third class rates.

In silk ribbons America now makes 90 per cent of the annual consumption in this country, the import being only 10 per cent. A 33 1-3 per cent reduction in the val- uation of wool for export has been or- dered in Argentina. The low price of wool there has caused a paralysis in that industry. At the present time a safe estimate of the relative supply of silk fabrics in the American market is 75 per cent by our domestic mills and 25 per cent by our foreign rivals.

Gaylord of the University of Buffalo announces he has identified and isolated, is a micro-organism whose size varies from two to six mi- crobes in tts various stages of develop- ment. Its appearance is such that sci- entific observers usually have mistaken Wednesday, Oct. 16 -University of Buffalo versus it for a tiny particle of fat a diseased University of Syracuse football game. epithelial cell or a yeast spore. Saturday Oct. 19 -Cornell -Carlisle football game. Professor Gaylord says his experi- ments have shown that the cancer germ assumes all of those appearances at different stages and is really a pro- tozoon or animal parasite like the r germs of smallpox and vaccine and probably of scarlet fever and measles in contradistinction to the bacteria or vegetable parasites which are the dis- ease germs of the enteric fevers, diph- theria and tuberculosis. It is of the lowest type of animal life, hardly more than a protoplasm and much less highly developed than the amoebas, although it resembles the lat- ter to some slight degree in the matter of -locomotion. Dr. Gaylord does not claim credit as a discoverer and says he is simply a correlator of the observations of others' and his own experiments. He points out that the reason why this organism has been overlooked in the past was because different observers had seen it in different stages of Its development and had described it in such different ways that it was only after a long se- ries of experiments that It was possible to ascertain that there really was but onegenu always present in cancer. Professor Gaylord has said nothing about a cure for cancer, yet leading physicians here believe that now that the germ has been absolutely identifie('. there will be less difficulty to discover the cure for the disease. MILITARY CAMPS. Accommodations For the Soldle Boys at the Pan-American Exposi Gem. Many military organizations intend to visit the Pan-American Exposition during the summer. Arrangements have been made to provide first class accommodations for them. The Exposition will maintain a per- manent camp within the grounds for the accommodation of about 200 men at one time. This camp will be supplied with tents floored, cots, buckets, basins, piut cups, light, water and sinks, for the use of which ao charge will be wade. It will be necessary for visiting organ- izations to furnish their own blankets and subsistence. There will be no accommodation for cooking in this camp, but the visitors will no doubt be able to make satisfac- tory arrangements with restaurants on the grounds at reasonable rates. It is expected that organizations tak- ing advantage of these camp privileges will, at such time as way be agreed upon beforehand, give military exhibi- tions without charge in the Stadium. Bands in uniform will be admitted to the grounds free. Organizations using this camp will pay one general admis- sion per man when they enter the grounds and must be governed by the rules and regulations laid down by the Exposition Company. On account of the large number of organizations now applying for camp facilities at the Exposition the use of ,this camp will be limited to a period not exceeding six days for any one or- ganization. Large bodies of troops visiting the Exposition must be quartered outside the grounds, where a large camp for this purpose has been ectoblished. Major Charles J. Wolf is in charge of the Military Bureau, and he is kept very busy thess days furnishing infor- mation to organizations intending to visit the Exposition. THE MIDWAY. Principal Amusement Features of the Pan-American Exposition.

Aluminium Hard to Solder. Upon attempting, with any ordinary solder, to join sheets of aluminium, says a writer in Cassler's Magazine, it Is noticeable that the mixture does not take bold, but tends rather to run off, or perhaps it will chill, utterly refusing to tin the sheets and rarely adhering to the aluminium. The reason of this behavior 1s that there is always pres- ent a thin, continuous coating of oxide, which effectually prevents the solder from getting to the true metal beneath. This thin, almost invisible, skin of alumina, or oxide of the metal, is of in- stantaneous formation, and the sur- face of the metal may be scraped or filed without even temporary relief be- eause of the immediate renewal of the coating. - Pats That Doesn't Hurt. It has recently been discovered that some antesthetics, such as ether and nitrous oxide gas, will sometimes pre- vent suffering without destroying con- scieusness of pain. The effect of the anaesthetic in certain cases is to render pain pleasant. While apparently In- sensible, the patient undergoing a sur- gical operation is fully conscious of everything that is going on, and the nerves respond as readily as ever, but instead of producing physical discom- fort the effect is exactly the reverse. Artiaelal Building Stone. Aeeording to a report to the state de- partment from Consul Baehr at Mag- deburg, stone produced from sand and lime is destined to become an impor- tant factor in the building line. Until recently this stone was regarded with suspicion, but experiments have result- ed in the production of a perfect build- ing stone at a low cost. The manufac- ture of this stone is steadily growing in Germany and factories are gradually springing up. ' How Modern Geology Imitates Ac- tion of Prehistoric Ice Rivers. A miniature glacier which can be set to work in a laboratory and which will in a few hours furnish an example of what a real glacier would do in as many centuries is an illustration of the novel methods of study which the new school of geology employs. Such a model of a glacier is now used for class instruction in the geological department of Harvard university, al- though it was originally instructed un- der the direction of Dr. T. A. Jagger as an aid to investigations undertaken for the purpose of showing the forma- tion of sand delta plains by glacial rivers. These deltas are found over many parts of the glacial area of North America and may be seen in process of formation, for example, at the mouths of some of the glacial rivers of the Alaskan coast. An ancient plain of this sort, dating back to the glacial period, is in Newtonville, a few miles from Boston. The glacial stream flowing from be- neath the ice is supposed to have carv- ed out and deposited successive layers of sand in the sea or lagoon that wash- ed the ice front. The deposit is leaf shaped, and when the ice of the gla- cier has melted away a "stem" known as the "esker"of the delta is left, mark- ing the sand choked channel of the original stream. The same -result is achieved by the appliance at the Harvard laboratory, which consists of a piece of lead bent into the general shape of a glacier and making an artificial cavern set in a tank of water. A. hose supplies the glacial stream, which is fed through a tunnel, with alternate coal dust and marble dust for sediment, which is de- posited in the miniature lagoon in lay- ers of black and white. The apparatus has worked perfectly, the experiments giving variations in the forms of the deltas according as the water was maintained at a higher or lower level, but always showing the characteristic front and the surface deposits with clearly defined beds. Making Invisible Pictures. Invisible pictures of a new kind are the invention of a German scientist named Kretschmann, who utilizes for the purpose salts of cobalt, which are pale rose in color when cold, but change to deep blue on being heated. Prints of the kind look like mere blank paper of a pinkish hue until held near a fire, when they quickly undergo a transfor- mation and reveal the hidden designs. The secret of it is to employ a paper that is of the same rose tint as that of the cobalt salts with which the print- ing ink is made. Thus the print is of the same hue as the background and, offering no contrast with the latter, should not be visible. As a matter of fact, faint outlines of the design have a tendency to show, but this difficulty is overcome and the picture made abso- lutely viewless by printing it first with a white ink and then with a rose cobalt ink covering the white. It is obvious that in this manner pic- tures may be sent secretly, to be dis- closed later by holding the paper near the fire. -Saturday Evening Post. A New Motive Power. According to the Caffaro, one of the best journals published at Genoa, the royal arsenal staff of Spezzia has suc- ceeded in developing a new motive power, from which great results are expected in the industrial world.

The Eclipse Cyclone. The remarkable discovery that a to- tal eclipse of the sun develops a cold air cyclone as the shadow sweeps across the earth has been made by Mr. H. C. Clayton through a study of the meteorological phenomena observ- ed during the eclipse of May, 1900. During the eclipse the winds were practically reversed In direction as the umbra moved from one side of the con- tinent to the other, and there was an outflow of air from the shadow to a distance of 1,500 miles. As the shadow progressed about 2,000 miles an hour "the eclipse cyclone, to keep pace with It, must have continuously formed within the shadow and must have dis- ' sipated in the rear almost instantly." Mr. Clayton believes that this discov- ery indicates that the fall of tempera- ! ture empera!ture at night must tend to produce a cold air cyclone, while the heat of day tends to the production of a warm air one, and thus the puzzling phenomenon of the double diurnal period in air pressure receives an explanation. An Interesting Gourd Experiment. The large gourds which our mothers used for storing salt, eggs, etc., are indigenous to Kentucky and weregrown by people who lived in this country long before its discovery by the white man. A couple of years since I secured one of these gourds from a cave in south- ern Kentucky. From the articles along- side of it it was apparent that it had been there more than 400 years. I have recently opened the gourd and taken out the seed, and I am planting some of them in the hope that they will germinate. I have several hun- dred, which I have placed with The Courier -Journal. Anybody sending a 2 cent stamp to pay the postage will have two of these gourd seeds sent to them for planting. I am in hopes that in this way we shall be able to repro- duce this gourd that was grown in Kentucky before Columbus discovered the new world. -Bennett H. Young in Louisville Courier -Journal. The Bacillus Inanlsition Goes On. Dr. Ceresole bought specimens of let- tuce, endive, radish and celery in the market at Padua, such as would be used for eating after a rough washing. He then washed them in sterilized wa- ter and examined the sediment. A sim- ple microscopic survey revealed a fau- na of 52 species, comprising amoebae, anguillulee and the eggs of taenia, oxyu- ris, axarides and ankylostoma. Bac- teriologic investigation added a rich flora of varied microbes, including micrococci, staphylococci, streptococci, sarcinee and a wealth of bacilli. -Med - teal Magazine. WINGLESS FLYING MACHINE Device Invented by a Chicago Man Ha■ Novel Features, A Chicagoan, Peter Moran, has in- vented a new style of flying machine - one without wings. But, according to the inventor's explanation, it embraces all the principles of wing navigation. Either steam or electricty can be used as its motor power. The box contain- ing the engine or power generating THE MACHINE IN OPERATION. electric batteries is at the bottom of the machine. Above it is the basket or car for the passenger. Two elevat- ing wheels crown the device, and the propelling wheel is attached to the center tube. The wheels are of the fan or windmill pattern. Just above the point where the propelling wheel is at- tached to the center tube a rudder blade is attached. Two elevator wheels revolve in oppo- site directions and serve to overcome the whirling motion. The propelling wheel and the rudder are of equal weight, one working in front and the other behind the machine, causing the machine to proceed steadily through the air. The ascent and descent is controlled by adjusting the rate of speed of theelevating wheels. The rudder is operated by a hand lever ex- tending into the passenger car and en- ables the guiding of the course of the machine. The propelling wheel directs the forward motion of the machine. The elevating and the propelling wheels act independently of each other and enable the raising of the machine without any forward motion. The ele- vating wheels raise the machine to the desired height, when the propeller can be put in motion to start it forward. Application of the principle of wing navigation in the machine is in the construction of its wheels. Every fan in the wheels is a wing. The speed in movement which it oan attain is said by the inventor to far exceed the power of the flying animal or human power. A CADET'S INVENTION. He Makes a Reversing Gear For the Steam Turbine. An important invention has recently been made by P. B. Belchers, a cabet of the Virginia Polytechnic institute at Blacksburg, Va. It is the long sought reversing gear on the steam turbine. Mr. Belchers worked so quietly that he patented his invention In every country in Europe and in the United States before any one knew anything about it. In fact, be holds patents for the "reverse gear on the steam turbine" in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Australia, Russia, England and the United States. The importance of the invention is apparent to any one who will give it a glance. For example, the Turbinia, the second fastest boat afloat, will require just three turbines in her hold instead of the five formerly used there. Three were required to drive the craft for- ward and two to reverse It As the re- verse gear will do away with the two reversing turbines, there will be a chance for increased speed and a sav- ing of space in the ship's narrow little hold. To Utilise Mexican Peat. A party of Philadelphia capitalists will start a system in Mexico for the employment of peat in the generation of heat and power. William A. Stern of Philadelphia, who has been conduct- ing for a year or more experiments looking to the utilization of this prod- uct, has demonstrated that peat is adapfhble for the generation of power with a commercial efficiency of over 60 per cent of that of the best bitumi- nous coal. A Photographic Invention. Mr. John Dillenius of Boston has per- fected a camera of scientific construc- tion which, It is said, will completely revolutionize the whole system of li- thography and which is said to be capa- ble of abolishing many of the annoying technicalities with which this art has to contend, particularly In the preser- vation of the beautiful atmospheric ef- fects so necessary to a picture made from nature.

Prompt Justice, In the "History of Beverly," Mass., the following anecdote is related of a good justb'e of the peace in the old colo- nial time.. On a cold night in winter a traveler called at his house for lodge ing. The ready hospitality of the jus- tice was about being displayed, when the traveler unluckily uttered a word which his host considered profane. Upon this he informed his guest that he was a magistrate, pointed out the nature of the offense and explained the necessity of its being expiated by sit- ting an hour in the stocks. Remonstrance was unavailing, for tustom at that time allowed the magis- trate to convict and punish at once, and in this case be acted as accuser, wit- ness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in one. Cold as it was our worthy justice, aided by his son, conducted the travel- er to the place of punishment, an open place near the meeting house where the stocks were placed. Here the trav- eler was confined in the usual manner, the benevolent executor of the law re- maining with him to beguile the time of its tedium by edifying conversa- tion. At the expiration of the hour he was reconducted to the house and hospita- bly entertained till the next morning, when the traveler departed with, let us hope, a determination to consider his words more carefully before giving them utterance in the hearing of a con- scientious magistrate. The Professor's Wooing. The - experience known as "popping the question" is the bugbear of every man, however confident of his charms or fluent of speech. Many original ways of asking young women to marry them have been resorted to by bashful men, but perhaps the most brilliant suggestion came to a learned German professor, who, having remained a bachelor till middle life, at last tumbled head over ears in love with a little flaxen haired maiden many years his junior. One day, after vainly endeavoring to screw his courage to the sticking point, the learned inan came upon his Gretch- en as she sat alone, darning a stocking, with a huge pile of the family hosiery on the table. The professor aimlessly talked on general topics, wondering how he could lead up to the subject nearest his heart, when all at once a happy thought came to him. Leaning forward, he put his big hand on the little fist doubled up Inside the stocking and said hesitatingly: "You darn very beautifully, fraulein. Would you like to darn my stockings only?" Fortunately the fraulein was not so simple as she appeared. She grasped the significance of the question imme- diately and lost no time in answering, "Yes." -Youth's Companion. - Why Girls Cannot Throw. A great deal of fun is poked at girls because they cannot throw a stone or a snowball and hit the person or thing they are aiming at. The general idea as to why girls cannot throw as well as boys is that they have not acquired the knack by practice as their brothers have. Another explanation is given by a medical man which tends to show that girls could never learn the knack, however much they tried. When a boy throws a stone, he crooks his elbow and reaches back with his forearm, and in the act of throwing he works every joint from shoulder to wrist. The girl throws with her whole arm rigid, whereas the boy's arm is relaxed. The reason of this difference is one of anatomy. The feminine collar bone is longer and is set lower than in the case of a male. The long, crooked, awkward bone interferes with the free use of the arm. This is the reason that girls cannot throw well. Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made Of. The materials of dreams may be enumerated as memories of waking sen- sations, memories of waking thoughts and new sensations received in sleep, whether from without or within. Dr. Gregory mentions of himself that hav- ing on one occasion gone to bed with a bottle of hot water at his feet he dreamed of wilking up the crater of Mount Etna and feeling the ground warm under him. He bad at an early period of his life visited Mount Vesu- vius and actually felt a strong sensa- tion of warmth in his feet when walk- ing up the side of the crater, and he bad more recently read Brydone's de- scription of Mount Etna. On another occasion, having thrown off the bedclothes in his sleep, he dreamed of spending a winter at Hud- son's bay and of suffering distress from the Intense frost.

The Chicago Record -Herald is a con- spicuous example of the success with which the public rewards fearless non- partisanship in' the cotumns of a great metropolitan daily paper. It is an inde- pendent newspaper in which men and measures are invariably viewed wholly from the standpoint of the public good and not from that of the interests of any particular political party. It is the very reverse of neutral, fearless and outspoken on all the great questions of the day, but presenting its editorial opinion upon in- dependent judgment and entirely regard- less apolitical affiliations. Partisanship is barred as strictly !mini the news col- umns es from the editorial page, All political news is given without partisan coloring, thus enabling the reader to form correct cofielugions for himself. In the ordinary partisan newspaper political news is ordinarily colored to such an ex- tent as to make it difficult if not impossi- ble for the reader -,to secure a sound basis for intelligent judgment.

One of the most striking illustrations of the intimate relations existing between American railroads and all other com- mercial interests is set forth in the Pan- American Series of postage stamps issued by the postmaster general May 1st, 1901. This series also demonstrates the com- manding position of the New York Cen- tral and the fact that it is in touch with and an integral pari of the commerce of the world. The Pan-American series of postage stamps consists of six beautiful steel en- gravings printed in two colors, producing the effect of a framed picture. Each of these stamps represents what is styled an aid to commerce, and, curiously enough, and without any design on the part of those who planned the series, each sub- ject is associated with the New York Central. The stamps are as follows: The one -cent stamp represents Fast Lake Navigation. Steamers of this char- acter on each of the great lakes of Ameri- ca run in connection with the trains of the New York Central lines The two -cent stamp is a picture of the New York Central's Empire State Ex- press, from a photograph by A. P. Yates, of Syracuse, taken when the train was running sixty-four miles an hour -a very appropriate aid to commerce. The four -cent stamp represents an au- tomobile of the same 'kyle as those used in the New York Cent 1 cab service at Grand Central Statioitia New York. The five -cent stanip gives a beautiful picture of the steel arch bridge over the Niagara River at Niagara Falls. On one side of the Niagara River from Buffalo to Lake Ontario are the tracks of the New York Central, on the other side those of the Michigan Central; the latter, which Ise New York Central line, crosses the Niagara River on the new cantzliver bridge just below the arch bridge shown on the stamp and in plain view of the falls. The eight -cent stamp shows the locks at Sault Ste. Marie. It is through these locks that the New York Central steam- ers pass on their trips between Buffalo and Duluth. The ten -cent stamp gives an illustra- tion of a modern oceau steamship. It is with steamships of this character on both the Atlantic and Piciflc oceans that the New York Central lines run in connec- tion, and over which the New York Cen- tral tickets passengers to every country. on the globe. -Brooklyn Standard Union.

Hy the Use of the Electric Pyrometer , Physicists Confidently Expert to Be Able to Accurately Record Soon the Boiling Point of Platinum. For centuries the human eye has been the constant gauge for determin- ing the highest degrees of heat. Any person who has ever stood in a black- smith's shop in childhood's days knows how steel ranges through the various colors -aa, for instance, black, dull red, cherry red, yellow,- white - up to the melting point of bluish white. In blast furnaces, in kilns of all kinds, from baking brick to baking pottery, in glass furnaces and through all the different range of the arts and trades, the eye was in the past the only available ther- mometer. Great loss frequently re- sulted from this primitive means of telling heat, for every rise or fall of temperature above or below certain points might cost literally thousands of dollars. Scientists have lately come to the res- cue, notably Professor C. L. Norton of the laboratory of physics at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston, who has made heat measure- ment a matter of exhaustive experi- ment. The most exact and scientific method of determining the temperature of fur- naces and retorts is by means of elec- tricity. The loop of a platinum wire or the joined ends of two wires are placed ,within range of the heat to be meas- ,nred, a current is established, and the resistance It meets is recorded by a galvanometer, the degree of beat being proportionate with the degree of elec- trical resistance. A device of this sort is called a pyrometer, a name which ap- plies to any mechanical instrument for measuring heat. By another kind of pyrometer the effect of either heat or cold on the electric current is detected by a modified telephone called a ther- mophone. This is quite different from the termophon, which is merely a tor- pedo which explodes after a period, long or short, as the heat Is more or less intense. While the electric pyrometers are the more exact, much assistance is given Ito the human eye by a visual pyrome- Iter. With this instrument the fire in a kiln, for example, is observed through a telescope and its temperature judged ,with sufficient accuracy by its color as seen through a polariscope or by its brilliancy as compared to a standard tamp. la -There are regionsf heat possible to (the electric furnace far above the pres- ent possibilities of exact measurement, abut physicists look forward to the day when they can accurately record the !Boiling point of pls Inum. In Canada are a number Production of Asbestus. of mines ;where asbestos is produced, and one of the largest of these is near Sherbrooks, In Ontario. The separation rock is mined in open quarries, and after it has been carried to the surface that bearing the asbestus is separated from the bar- ren material by hand picking. At a Bobbing house the long fibered asbestus Is knocked off from the serpentine by 'hand if the veins are more than three- quarters of an inch thick, but in the smaller pieces this separation is made by machinery. In this process the rock is crushed and the useless pieces are picked out by hand. Then the asbestus ;bearing fragments are pulverized, and the fibrous material is separated from e powdered rock by means of a blast f air. Bottled Tear Cure. A physician who has recently return- ed from Persia says that the natives i?elleve that human tears are a remedy for certain chronic diseases. At every funeral the bottling of mourners' tears 1s one of the chief features of the cere- mony. Each of the mourners is pre- sented with a sponge with which to poop his face and eyes, and after the burial these sponges are presented to he priest, who squeezes the tears into bottles, which he keeps. Valuable Alloy of Aluminium. Magnalium r is the name given to an alloy of aluminium and magnesium in- ivented by a continental scientist, and the reports upon it are of the most en- couraging nature. ` It is lighter than pure aluminium, it can be worked and turned like braes or copper, and it is stronger than brass. It is stated that it `does not oxidize at all, fumes of ammo - Fla and sulphuric acid not damaging it. t can be turned, bored, drilled, milled, tiled, ground and polished easily. A Wonder In Watchmaking. Among the treasures of a Swiss mu- seum, inserted in the top of an old fash- ioned pencil case, is the tiniest watch ever constructed. It is only three -six- teenths of an inch in diameter, and its little dial not only indicates hours. minutes and seconds, but also the days of the month. So perfectly formed is this lilliputlan watch that it keeps ex- cellent time and is a marvelous piece of mechanical workmanship. Acetylene Gas For Lighthouses. Consul General Guenther of Frank - ort reports that at the lighthouse of ��Aeltenbruch acetylene gas has been ex- rimented with, as the strongest pe- troleum light proved too weak for this station. It is stated in German papers that the results were entirely satisfac- tory, and it is expected that acetylene gas will now be used extensively for lighthouses. MatUak Reals.

A gray colt came over the road draw- ing a cart behind him, with a man and a woman sitting on the,crossboard of it. The sun was white upon the road. Rushy pastures, speckled over with the snowballs of the bog cotton, were on each side. Above were mounds and hitlocks covered with screens of pine and larch. There was moss as green as emeralds under the larches, and threads of streams dwindled through it, and brown rabbits leaped over it. • Between it and the lower boughs black- birds flew with a whir of wings and a chatter of golden tongues. "We're up against the house of the smith," said the girl in the cart. She put into the man's hands we reins she had been holding. She cracked the colt with a sharp cutting stick. He broke into a great gallop. The ker- chief flew from the girl's head. The yellow of ber hair shamed the sun. w The whiteness of the lily was on her ru cheek. The red of the rose was the a color of her mouth. The forge was by the side of the co lane, near the corner where the gap w between the hillocks opened out upon w the bog. High mountains were beyond sh one end oP'the gap. The bog was out- th side the other. "Get down, Shamus!" said the girl aff to the man who was with her in the I0 cart, "Tell the smith ye want a shoe un to the horse. Say that the Dublin st road is a hard road for a horse to cov- tie er. I'll put a word in then Watch th him an he puttin on the shoe. Bid him he be quick, an then say there's no hurry cu upon ye." it They stopped at the smithy, that was like a witch's cavern with the murk Jo dark that was in it. The broad wheel ter shaped stone was set in the ground by ou the door. Hard at hand was the pond to for cooling the redhot iron. The gal- , .. loping horse drew up of a sudden. The for smith and his son came out of the dark a. cavern. The smith looked at the colt. hi The son looked at the girl. ,. "More power to ye, good man!" said the the smith to the driver. cer "We want a shoe on the beast," said Shamus, getting down out of the cart. wit The girl got down after him. He let .. her do it without help. The smith's for son said within himself that the strati- hie ger must be either the girl's brother or her her husband. He felt his heartstrings the " tighten when he thought of a husband. tim He had taken tw Such a look came into the eyes o young man that it was as if the were shining in them.

Owney saw lying beneath heavy mallet. He looked at the Their eyes met. The face of the went as gray as the face of a dead man. "God speed ye!" said the smith the doorway of the shed. The 1 sharp stick in the girl's hand sia down upon the back of the horse. bounded forward with a leap nearly upset the cart. Away they down the road and out of sight aro the corner. The March wind i might scarcely overtake them. "Faith, the pooka isn't in it with colt!" said the smith to his son. "Nor the queen of fairies with woman!" said the son. The father put bis pipe in his mo and walked into the thatched house side the forge. His wife was in kitchen spinning in p g fl as. "At last our Owney has set his e upon a girl to his fancy," said smith, with a laugh. His wife stopped spinning. She her hands fall down by her sides. "Troth, an I didn't believe there a mother in the world with a coil that would please him," she said. About an hour after this two of king's officers came riding down road from the mountains. They dr rein at the forge. They called out smith. "Did ye happen to see a cart go this way?" they demanded. Owen Joyce walked out of the d of the shed and stood by his fathe side and listened. "That I did," said the smith, • shod a mettlesome colt under that sa cart." The wind, blowing from faraw brought with it faint sounds. "Whisht!" cried Owney, putting his band. "What's that?" The officers and the smith turn their heads in the direction of t wind. The sounds came nearer. "Stand your cattle back out of barn ay, sir," said Owen Joyce. "it's naway horse witb a tangle of Marne bout him." He ran down the road and past t rner. The white line of the bog tra as out before him. Coming along as the colt his father bad shod.

If there are grease spots, remove them by sponging with ammo - to Dia and soft water. When the clothes is have had five or six hours of sunshine, they may be brought in and packed a away in mothproof chests. n There are housekeepers who place ✓ great confidence in a newspaper wrap- ping as a protection from moths, but if O one lives in a particularly "mothy" e place the newspaper is not to be de- pended upon. If mothproof boxes are not to be had, put the winter clothes in tar paper bags that seal, or, failing that, make a large bag out of muslin or cali- co free from holes. Line a large trunk or dry goods box with the empty bag, pack in the garments, having made to the house mistress of what will hap- pen unless vigorous measures be adopt- ed to protect woolens and furs. When there are many clothes to be looked after, it is well to take a special day' for the purpose of airing and cleaning them. If possible, choose a clear, sun- shiny day; if there are breezes stirring, all the better. Take the woolen gar- ments and attach them to the clothes- line by pins, shaking and beating the dust from each piece with a willow car- s a ✓ sure that there are no moth eggs in a them. Tie the opening of the bag with twine, leaving considerable space e for "neck." Pack a handful or two of e camphor balls against the inside of the t tied place and tie again, tying the balls in. In large cities moths are more numer- ous and much more voracious than in most small towns or the open country. For city people it is more prudent to send costly fur garments and fine rugs to a reliable storage house that insures their safety from moths during sum- mer. Moths delight in dark corners, and they love to deposit their eggs in soft moquette and axminster carpets and the fluffy fine woolly parts of the fringe of upholstered parlor furniture. After being thoroughly beaten carpets and rugs that are to be kept at home for the summer would be the better for being sponged off with turpentipe be- fore being rolled or folded, says The Household.

The Way to Force Plants to Branch. There is only one way in Which a plant can be forced to branch, and that is by cutting off the stalk. The plant thus interfered with will make an ef- fort to grow, and either a new shoot will be sent up to take the place of the lost top or several shoots will be sent out along the stalk. If but one starts, cat it back. Keep up this cutting back process until you have prepared as many branches as you think are need- ed.

The hat with many brims is one of the fads this season, and it may be supplied with two or five if you like, according to the New York Sun. A light blue straw hat shows five brims veiled with blue chiffon, but so arrang- ed that they fall very closely together, and the simple trimming is a bow of soft ribbon in green and blue with two large quills straight across the front. Turban toques are perhaps the most popular style just at the moment\for spring wear. but the larger shapes with broader brims are biding their time. Toques of colored straw with a rosette of silk to match and one con- trasting quill, possibly silver and black, for trimming are one specialty. A military bat in the tricorne shape is one of the fashionable shapes made wonderfully becoming by the way it is trimmed and perched on the head in a coquettish manner. The brim and half of the crown on the left side are almost covered with roses. With the great variety of straws, mii- an braids, silk straws, leghorns, chips and crinoline added to the endless va- riety in combinations of straw and chiffon and straw easy matter to imagine something o1 the diversity which is possible in the millinery department. Fancy Names Grow Fewer. There will be fewer Mamies and Sa- dies and Pearls in the next generation and more Marys, Elizabeths, Lucys, Margarets, Dorothys and Priscillas, ac- cording to a clergyman who christens more babies than most of his reverend brethren. !Families are going back to the old fashioned names and are abandoning the fancy ones which it was'the fad to fasten upon the baby girls of, a few years ago. Curiously enough, the clergyman says, there isn't any fashion in boys' names. Year in and year out most of the boy babies get-.tbe plain names, and just a small proportion start life weigh- ed down with queer ones. The House Linen.

At a recent dinner in London the conversation turned on the subject of lynchings in the United States. It was the general opinion that a rope was the chief end of man In America. Finally the hostess turned to an Amer- ican, who had taken no part in the conversation, and said: "You, sir, must have often seen these affairs." "Yes," he replied, "we take a kind Of municipal pride in seeing which city can show the greatest number of lynchings yearly." - "Oh, do tell us about a lynching you have seen yourself," broke in half a dozen voices at once. "The night before I sailed for Eng- land," said the Americas, "I was giv- ing a dinner to a party of intimate friends when a colored waiter spilled a plate of soup over the gown of a lady at an adjoining table. The gown was utterly ruined, and the gentlemen of ber party at once seized the waiter, tied a rope around bis neck and, at a signal from the injured lady, swung Dim into the air."

The Philadelphia Record says that a railroad contractor who recently re- turned from abroad tells of an experi- ence that befell him in Munich illustra- tive of the difference in prevailing cus- toms. Armed with a number of letters of introduction to European railroad officials, he made it a point to inquire into the workings of the various sys- tems and was treated with uniform courtesy. At Munich be thought be had acquir- ed all the information be was after, and as be passed out of the office of the man with whom he bad been talking he put on his hat. He had scarcely been ushered out when it occurred to him that there was one matter about which be had forgotten to inquire. "I immediately steps," retraced my said the Philadelphian, "and again en- tered the office, neglecting to remove my hat. I saw the same official with whom I had been talking, and, apolo- gizing for taking up so much of his time, 1 put the question to him. With- out a word he reached up, took off my hat and placed it in my hand. Then he answered my query and lowed me out. It made me feel rather cheap." On a Business Basis.

Rainsford had started a mission school in the back rooms of a saloon on Avenue A and at one of the first sessions found a big ruffian in possession, greatly to the discomfort of the teacher. Toid to go out, the fel- low informed Dr. Rainsford with an oath that be would see him further first. The doctor talked peaceably enough to the blackguard, hoping to avoid a disturbance, but when he swore at him again gave him his own medi- cine in a blow that felled him like an ox. The fellow arose, dazed and grop- ing, to find the doctor standing over him, ready to have it out. "Have you got enough?" he asked. The man cried quits and went his way. The Sunday -school session proceeded. A week later there was another fight, The rector started in to clear the room, persuasion having failed, and found the burly ruffian of the previous en- counter at his elbow.

"The price of many drugs used in medicine is astonishing to those who are not acquainted with the subject," remarked a druggist. "There are sev- eral that are worth their weight in gold (about $20 an ounce), while $2, S3 or $5 an ounce are quite common t: rices in pharmacy. I filled a prescrip- tion the other day that cost $25. But there Is one drug that I can recall which Is worth much more than its weight in gold. That is pseudo physo- stigmine. I don't think that it has a popular name. It is too ricii for that. In the pharmacists' list it is quoted at $1 a grain, or $437.50 an ounce. The seed from which the drug is made grows in India and Brazil, as well as In parts of South Africa. This seed, tradition says, was once used by na- tive chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal generally resulted in the death of the man upon whom it was tried and so was considered as a great truth finder. The prepared drug Is sometimes used now in prescriptions for the treatment of heart disease. "Another drug which takes the palm for costliness is, curiously enough, the one which is perhaps the most widely known by name of them all to the gen- eral public—namely, musk. Its retail price at the present moment is about $O an ounce, $600 a pound apothecary, or 2Y times the value of pure gold, 24 carats tine. It is obtained from the musk deer, a very rare animal, and is contained to a follicle, of which there Is only one in each animal, so that an ounce of the drug represents approxi- mately one of these precious animals. As it Is largely used for scent, the de- mand constantly exceeds the supply, and the price bas been steadily ad- vancing. There Is no reason why it should not go to $250 or $500 an ounce during the next few years, as the musk deer Is gradually vanishing from the face of the earth."—Kansas City Jour- nal. BEWARE OF THE STRAP. A Possible Source of infection to Those Who Ride in Street Cars. The connection between the microbe and the streetcar strap has frequently been discussed and at least one recent instance bas proved somewhat distress- ingly that danger is likely to lurk In the piece of leather which helps to support so many women during the rush hours or the day. It was to protect a fresh pair of white gloves that a New York woman, compelled to stand. held ber handtercblef inside the strap while go- ing to the theater. On her way home she was again compelled to stand, and once more the handkerchief came be- tween her glove and the leather. Whether it was atter that or during the evening at the theater that she once thoughtlessly put the handker- chief to her face is a detail that she does not recall, but two days afterward a pain on her lip became so Intolerable that she was compelled to see a doctor, who found her suffering from incipient blood poisoning. which 11 was already too late for him to prevent. The most that be could do was to watch her care- fully through a long attack of illness, which at one time threatened to end fatally. He attributed this to some poisonous substance which had passed to her handkerchief from the strap. and that was his diagnosis the moment be beard the story of the ride on the cable car. She rot -innately recovered. and ber phy- sician thinks that the present disfigure- ment to her face which resulted from the necessity of an operation will not be permanent. The case bas convinced this physician, who is a man of consid- erable experience In surgery, of the dangers that lurk in the street car strap.—New York Sun. One Improvident Family. The minister In an adjoining Tennes- see town was very much wrought up over the pitiful condition of a parish- ioner's family. He went to their home and, finding they were almost starving, decided that something should be done for them. He accordingly solicited con- tributions for their relief. Receiving a liberal response, he promptly turned over the money to the suffering ones, thinking that all would be well. The first thing they did, however, was to go to the photographer of the town and have a dozen pictures made of each of the five members of the fam- ily. exhausting the amount, leaving them In as bad condition as they were before be had given them assistance.— Memphis Scimitar. Brought Down the House. On one occasion, wben Arthur Rob- erta, the English actor, was performing the part of Captain Crosstree In the burlesque of "Black Eyed Susan" at Glasgow, he converted an awkward contretemps into a hit In one of the scenes Crosstree enters supposed to be inebriated and staggers about the stage. In doing so Mr. Roberts acci- dentally came in contact with the scen- ery of the Inn, bringing the whole set down. The curtain had to be lowered, and the vivacious comedian came to the front and said. "Ladies and gentle- men. you see when we come to Glas- gow we always bring down the house." Sensible German.. The Germans are not too proud to learn from other nations. They are now buying American locomotives with a view to ascertaining in what respect they differ from their own make. The administration of the Royal Bavarian railway has ordered four engines from the United States, and the German manufacturers are agitated on this ac- count. —London c- count.—London Engineer. FAUST'S WILD CHARGE. * Seat Marguerite Flying In Terror From the Stage. The name of the hero of this anec- dote I shall not give you. for he has long since been gathered to his fathers. Let it suffice that to his heyday be was one of the greatest tenors who ever sang to a breathless and enthusi- astic audience. He bad a penchant, however, for the red, red wine, which in the end proved his undoing and ulti- mately provided a pathetic ending for an otherwise great career. In his prime his drinking seemed only to affect his legs, but never his head or voice. He could always sing and sing true, but at times he had no more ability to guide his wandering footsteps than bas a sufferer In the last stages of locomotor ataxia. At one time, when he was singing Faust to Emma Abbott's Marguerite, he appeared at the opera house In an apparently hopeless condieion. The management was wild, but there was no one to take his place, and so they had to chance it with hlm.as Faust. All went well until they came to that scene where Faust, in leaving Margue- rite, crosses the stage and then, giving way to an impulse, rushes back and kisses Marguerite yet once again ere taking bis departure. Faust on this occasion got to the dth- er side of the stage all right, but trou- ble arose when he tried to get back. Marguerite sits in the window of her cottage, and Faust comes back and kisses her through the window. Faust measured the distance with a wabbling eye, but made a start wben his cue was given. Then be seemed to lose control of himself. One-quarter way across he was trotting, one-half way the trot was a run, and the remainder of the way ft had become a gallop. • Up to this point Miss Abbott stood her ground bravely, but that rapidly approaching figure awed her, and with a frightened scream she fled. Faust. poor Faust. charged on. He reached the place be had last seen Marguerite and essayed to clasp the atmosphere In outstretched arms. Then his impetus carried him through the window, and all that the astounded audience looked upon were his waving legs. Somebody pushed him back, and, absolutely un- disturbed, he finished the opera, sing- ing in an unusually superb manner. Not so with the unfortunate Margue- rite, however, for from then on she was suffering from a case of "rattles," which in simple justice should have been the propertyot Faust.—New York Tribune. PRETTY IRISH GIRLS. Why the Lasses of the Emerald Isle Are Beautiful. The Irish peasant girls have long been famous for their beautiful, cleltr skins and healthy complexions. They owe much of their loveliness to the moisture of the climate and the sim- plicity of their lives. Plain, wholesome fare and rainwater for_the wash basin tell their own tale. No matter how homely are the features of the genuine peasant girl, her skin is almost invaria- bly soft and firm, the arms nicely rounded, the eyes brilliant and express- ive. There are no eyes finer than those of the healthy daughter of Erin's Isle. Soft and tender one moment, to flash with passion if aroused; dark blue, gray or brown, the Irish eye is pecul- iarly lovely and possesses a luster all its own. Long lashes shadow these be- witching orbs—lashes that curl upward to sweep the cheek wben the face Is betrayed into blushes. So much time Is spent out of doors that the feet, usually bare, become en- larged. The ankle, however. Is usually well shaped and neat, the instep blgh and the skin of baby fineness. The Irish girl of bumble station is proud of ber shapely feet and believes that walking through the grass before sun- rise in summer enhances their beauty, which, of course, it does. No need to powder that fair skin—it owes its peachy bloom to health, happi- ness and the freedom of outdoor life; no need to resort to the rouge pot—the roses are there hard and fast, nature's own coloring. The bands may be rough by hard work. not diminutive, but shapely; the hair burnished and often luxuriant—London Answers. How to Lie When Sleeping. The correct posture for sleep is to ire on the right side with the limbs stretch- ed out to their full length and the arms either straight down by the body or in any comfortable,positlon, provided they are not raised above the head. The mouth should be closed, and all the muscles of thelbody should be relaxed. The lungs work with greater delib- eration during the hours of sleep, and if the arms ares raised above the head at tbls time and for any period the ac- tion of the heart'drives the blood away from the arms and sends it to the head, frequently making one very restless, when it does not prevent sleep entirely. —American Queen. To Pre.. old Silk. As silk is very much to the fore again it should be borne in mind that It must never be ironed, as the beat takes all the life out of it and makes It seem stringy and flabby. If, however, you wish to press out old bits of silk and ribbon, use an iron only moderately hot and place two thicknesses of paper between that and the silk. Trying Work. Thin Haired Man—What! A shilling for cutting my hair? That's outrageous! Barber—But, my dear sir, the hairs on your head are so far apart that I had to cut each one by itself.—London Tit -Bits. Queer 'Indian Beliefs. There is an odd feature in the theol- ogy of the small Indian tribe .of the Bella Coola, which inhabit British Co- lumbia in about latitude 52. Tbey be- lieve that there are five worlds, one above the other, and the middle one is our own world, the earth. Above It are two heavens, and under it are two underworlds. In the upper heaven is the supreme deity, who is a woman, and she doesn't meddle much with the affairs in the second world below her. The zenith is the center of the lower heaven, and bete is the house of the gods, in which live the sun and the rest of the deities. Our own earth Is believed to be an Island swimming in the ocean. The first underworld from the earth Is Inhabited by ghosts who can return wben they wish to heaven, from which place they may be sent down to our earth. It then they Misbehave again, they are cast'into the lower of the un- derworlds, and. from this bourne no ghostly traveler returns. The Bella Cools are sun worshipers, for Senex, the sun, the master of the house of gods, who also Is called "the father" and "the sacred one," is the on- ly deity to whom the tribe pray. Each family of the Bella Coola has its own traditions and its own form of the cur- rent traditions, so that in the mytholo- gy of the tribe there are countless contradictions. When any one not a member of a clan tries to tell a tradi- tion which does not belong to his clan, it Is like a white man trying to tell another's joke—he Is considered as ap- propriating the property right which does not belong to him. Hard Ducks to Kill. The screaming wal:oon is a hard dd k to kill Its bide is very tough and is thickly covered with feathers and down. Besides the bird is a great diver, one of the kind that used. to "dive at the flash" when hunted with the old arm that flashed when fired. It is of very little value for table use, be- ing so tough. The only way to manage It at all is to skin it and parboil it in a big pot with plenty of water. The ne- groes make caps of walloon skins. "Tbey are great ducks for diving," says a well known Tred Avon river progger. "They can dive quicker, go down deeper, remain under water longer and come up farther away than any other duck that frequents our waters. I re- member once i succeeded iu killing a walloon, and. being short of game for the table. I determined to cook my bird. I got a negro to skin It, giving him the hide for his trouble. After be- ing cleaned we put it in a great pot full of water and under It kindled a hot fire. Alter awhile 1 wanted to see bow the cooking of my duck progressed and lifted the top off the boiling pot. but there was so much steam escaping I could not see Into the pot and struck a match over it. The blamed walloon, sir, dived at the flash of the match. It disappeared and has never been seen since."—Baltimore Sun. A Lesson to Humorists. One cannot safely assume in these days that there is any region in which such and such a journal Is not read. Recently a ceMaln humorist needed a rest and went and stopped In a cottage In a remote village by the sea. His sitting room opened on the kitchen. where his landlady. a woman widely esteemed as a person of great acumen and a maker of phrases, was wont to receive the neighbors. He listened and put both landlady and neighbors into some amusing sketches which were promptly published In a London maga- zine. A mouth or two went by. Then one afternoon be came back to the cot- tage to meet and cower before an in- dignant matron. who told him. among other things. that be had one hour In which to pack his traps and quit the village. She was not going to have an eavesdropper in ber house, and she added a significant hint to the effect that the people of the village were of the same opluiton and might be betray- ed Into an attempt to give a forcible demonstration of their views.—London Post. Now They Are Married. A bashful young man went three times to ask a beautiful young lady 11 he might be the partner of her joys and sorrows and other household furniture, but each tlme his heart failed him, and be took the question away unpopped. She saw the anguish of his soul and had compassion on him. So the next time he came she asked him if he had thought to bring a screwdriver with him. He blushed and wanted to know what for. And she, in the fullness of her heart, said she did not know but that be would want to screw up his courage before he left. He took the hint and the girl.—Pear- son's Weekly. The Jaw of an Otter. You can find an example of nature's adaptation of the jaw to use to the case of certain carnivore. like the otter—a big weasel that has acquired aquatic habits. The jaws of such beasts are so Axed In the sockets that dislocation is impossible. In some instances you can- not, even after the animal is dead, sep- arate the jaw from the head. This ar- rangement is evidently designed to en- able the beast to bite to the greatest advahtage without danger that the chewing apparatus will come loose. t1Ri�alIIOde.

A number of years ago Air. Withee was presented with tWo fine hounds, and, wishing to try their training and their grit, he took theta out to do a lit- tle bear hunting. The first morning ZVithee let the dogs out for a run while he was getting tb:• breakfast, expecting them to be back in a short time. Whets breakfast was over, the dogs had nOt returned, so, taking his gun, Mr. Withee started out in the direction they had taken. After traveling about a utile the faint bark- ing of dogs could be heard, and it was then plain why the dogs had not re- turned. They bad scented game and were in pursuit. The sound of the barking led him far up the side of n mountain, and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the upturned roots of a tree. Mr. Withee crept up cautiously until within about 15 feet of a cure that was near by, and then a black. shaggy head eould - be seen just above the roots. Taking good aim, he fired his .44 cali- ber and awaited results. After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what he saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recovered. Two bears lay dead, and two more were so stunned that a few quick pass- es with a knife settled them. For the four bears Mr. Withee re- ceived $20 bounty, 827.50 for their hides and $42 for the bear oil, making $89.50 for one day's hunt.—Maine Woods. All For Love. It was a runaway match. The young couple had nothing to live on but love. and they grew thin on it, for the hutch. er, baker, etc., heartlessly refused to barter any of the necessaries of life for a bit of love, and the landlady wouldn't accept even a large slice of it for rent. At last they were reduced to such ex. tremities that starvation stared them in the face. When starvation does this, it, so to say, "puts you Ott of countenance." "Oh, George," wailed the young wife, "what shall we do? 1 am so hungry!" "Alas, I know not, darling!" he sigh ed fondly but sadly, toying with her luxuriant tresses. "But I know, George!" she suddenly exclaimed after a pause. "Sell my hair!" "What!" he almost shouted, with a horror stricken face. " SaerMice your lovely golden locks! Ruthlessly cut otT the greatest ornament a wotnan .can possess? Never! Never! I will starve first!" "But, George," she assured him. "It does not require cutting off. See!" And she detached the glistening 3 guinea switch from her head and laid it in his baud. That night the young couple supped luxuriously, but still he was not happy. —Pearson's Weekly. Lighting Up the Coliseum. The Romans have the hideous habit of periodically lighting the Coliseum during the tourist season watt Bengal lights and, what is more amazing still, usually succeed in making a financial success of 1t, although no one was ever known to go twice. There is the additional abomination in these days of a big brass band and a chorus of 100 voices in an Invocation to the Flavian amphitheater. The ef- fect is tremendqus, but somewhat stun- ning to those who are accustomed to their Coliseum empty and flooded with peaceful moonlight, where pic- tures from the past rise with the clear- ness of second sight, and no sound is heard but one's own breathing or the song of the nightingale. Contrast with such a scene the red, blue and yellow Bengal lights, the smoke, the court' sion, the hundred shrieking throats and the clang of the brazen instru- ments! Imagination shrinks and curses the Roman of today with whom such a thing Is possible. But Is It his fault? As I said before, it is a great financial success, and the Itailaus certainly do not patronize it. Query, Who does?— Rome Letter in Pall Mall Gazette. How They Broke Up. An amusing story Is related in "Ca- nadian Savage Folk" of the manner In which an adjournment was taken by a mass meeting. A missionary who had started a school among the Indians met with opposition, and the meeting had been called in support of the rival scheme. There were several speakers wbo de- nounced the school In existence. We replied vigorously, showing the effi- ciency of the school and denouncing in turn the methods adopted by the op- position. An Indian chief produced some specimens of work done at the school, and several speakers supported the work as It was being done. The climax was reached when a gentleman rose and said: "I move the whole thing bust!" The chairman put the motion. "It is moved and seeonded that the whole thing bust!" The audience sprang to their feet and, waving bats, yelled "Busted r and made for the door. Thus ended the first and last opposition In that matter. Pride of the Riding Academy.

There vas a certain Major X. wbo had for some years enjoyed the reputa- tion of being one of the wildest men in India. Making a call on one occasion on a mess, he found Captain Z., whom he wanted, out, but the mess waiter as- sured him that the latter would soon return; wherefore he waited in the an- teroom. A few minutes later the mess ser- geant, happening to pass the window, noticed to his surprise that Major X. had passed into the messroom beyond and was applying a tape measure to the mess table. Naturally considering this an odd proceeding, be mentioned it later on in the day to Captain Z.. who took counsel and then begged a favor of the colonel, which was to allow an inch to be sawed off the table legs. In due course Major X. was invited to din- ner, and th'Ls mess was there to a man. As was expected, during dessert he contrived to lead the conversation on to guessing heights, and from that to of- fering to bet on the present mahogany was but a step. They took him on, from colonel down to the youngest sub. Even the chaplain could not resist the temp- tation to chastise the unrighteous and ventured his mite. The challenger bet first, just an eighth of an inch beyond the old height, and then the mess, In ro- tation, guessed exactly the same, and all guessed exactly right. He was done completely.—London Free Lance. Miss Caustic caught. The wit is more to he dreaded than your worst enemy. Witty people have a way of slapping a title on you which sticks for life.

One society girl here, a really nice girl, bas the habit, however, of sitting in judgment on the family standing of other people.

They were in the shoe business. One day the girl was talking much as usual. The wit, alas, was on deck load- ed with back number facts. "Oh," said Miss Critic, with a toss of her head, as she mentioned a debutante, "of course she he not to the manner born. I always like to express myself in quotations." "So do I," said the n'it softly and wickedly. "My favorite is 'let not the shoemaker go beyond his last' "—Lou- isville Times. How He Cured the Bell. The late Father Boyle, who for years was one of the most prominent and popular Catholic priests in Washing- ton,. had a great reputation as a wit. Some of his most intimate friends were Protestants and members of the Prot- estant clergy. A few months before bis death he erected a missionary chap- el down by the navy yard and bought at a junksttop an oil bell which had been discarded by one of the Protes- tant churches. He sent the bell to a foundry in Georgetown and had sev- eral inches of metal pared off the rim. Having thus got rid of a crack, the harsh and discordant tones of the bell became soft and sweet. Meeting a Presbyterian minister not long after, Father Boyle called bis attention to the change, and the latter could scarcely believe it was the same bell. "What 1n the world did you do to that bell," inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to cause such a chan;,,e in the tone?" "We blessed it and blessed it and blessed it until we got the Presbyterian devil out of it," retorted Father Boyle, "and then it sounded all right."— Washington Star. *Talk Killed a Bear.

James Seymour, an old burglar who has spent most of his life In the state prisons of New York and New Jersey for house breaking, has just begun an- other ten years' term for jobs commit- ted in Mount Vernon, Pelham and oth- er suburban towns. Chief Foley found 14 houses which Seymour attempted to enter, and Seymour was convicted of getting into two of them and carrying away a lot olt silvetfware and clothing. In both houses large watchdogs were kept on guard, and Chief Foley and the owners were at a loss to.under- stand how the burglar could have pried open the windows without causing them to bark and arouse the house- holds. Curiosity finally led the chief to question Seymour, and the old bur- glar gave him the recipe just before he left for Sing Sing prison. "Getting past dogs is dead easy if you know how to go about it," said the bur- glar. "Old crooks understand the trick so well that it's not often a dog bothers them. He may give a few growls if he's in the house, but there's a way to quiet him quick. Some people are fool- ish enough to think that burglars carry steak, chops, dog bread or something of the kind about in their pockets to feed the critters with or that they chloro- form them, but this is a mistake. "All we have to do is to hunt up a horse just before we start on the job and rub our hands several times up and down one of his legs, at the same time touching the fetlock. It don't matter what kind of an old skate he is. There's something about the scent of a horse's fetlock that will make any dog your friend the minute be smells It. I've tried it dozens of times, and it never failed." Seymour then told bold he got into a house in New Jersey which was guard- ed by four of the fiercest bulldogs be ever saw. "I knew that the brutes were there and that they were likely to make me trouble," said he, "so just before I tackled the place I stopped along the street and rubbed my hands a good five minutes on the fetlocks of an old horse that was hitched to a cab stand- ing in front of a rumshop. Then I made for the house and began careful - like to pry open the window to the din- ing room. "It was moonlight, and I could see all of them silver shining on the side- board, but it looked like a mighty risky job to try to get it with them four ugly brutes stretched out a-gnard- ing it. But things were stow with use, and I was determined not to let the chance go by, so I sawed the catch and then raised the sash easy so as not to make any noise. "Once or twice one of the dogs gave a low growl, and I had to lay low, but when I finally got the sash up enough to shove in my hands it was all over. The minute they smelled them up they got and came over to the window and began licking my fingers. When I got in, they never made a growl, but fol- lowed me around the room like pet Iambs while I gathered up the silver- ware and dropped it in my bag." "But what is there about the fetlock of a horse that attracts the dogs?" asked Chief Foley. "You've got me," responded Seymour. "I never heed anybody explain it. The receipt was give to me by an old man In Trenton prison that used to steal dogs, and I've been using it ever since when occasion requires. It works so fine that I believe I could take the watchdogs away with me after I rob the houses if I wanted to be bothered with the brutes."—New York Sun. For Mosquito Bites, Naphthalene. The United States consul general at Frankfort, Mr. Guenther, writes to the state department that Dr. Voges, di- rector of the national board of health of Argentina, has discovered an alleg- ed "sure cure" for mosquito bites. It is none other than the familiar "naphtha- lene." It neutralizes the poison, he says, even wben the spot bitten is greatly inflamed, and if fresh bites are rubbed with it no swelling follows. Dr. Voges is a trained man of sci- ence and is therefore not likely to make an exaggerated statement. It may be that naphthalene will do all that he claims for it when used on the bite of the Argentina mosquito, but would avail nothing against the Jersey or even the common American variety. But the remedy is well worth a trial, as mosquito bites only too often trans- form the beauty and repose of seaside or country vacation into an itching fe- ver of wretchedness. — New York World.

It would raise depressed scars or flattened features or fill out the place of bones partly re- moved until new tissues were formed.

The mine mule knows a thing or two quite as well as does the army mule. In one of the mines in the Pittsburg district the ever patient mule proved himself possessed of an almost human sense of coming danger. One morning when the full shift was at work there occurred an unusual thing. The air currents had seemed defective, and there was a restless feeling among the miners, something like the uneasiness of live stock before a storm. A. few days previous a chamber had been closed on account of gas, and the men were instinctively thinking of what that might mean. Suddenly there was a clatter of hoofs, and a mule appear- ed. Its long ears were quivering, and Its intelligent eyes were full of terror. It gave a shrill bray and then was gone down the entry, broken traces fly- ing after it. The men looked at one another, and then the feverishness of the air moved them with one impulse. Dropping picks, they fled precipitately, making a headlong dash through the labyrinth for the opep air. With scared Laces other miners joined them, and while they were wondering what it all meant a dull, deep explosion went rumbling through the hollow back of them, followed by wave upon wave of noxious vapors. Then they understood. When the bodies of the few poor men wbo had been hopelessly_ entrapped were recovered, another was tenderly carried out with theirs—that of the lit- tle gray mule that sounded the warn- Ing.—Leslie's Weekly. Serpent Worship. It was probably in the character of a healer that the serpent was regarded by the Milesians, sauce most of the lo- calities of Ireland connected with tra- ditions of these reptiles destroyed by St. Patrick were esteemed places of healing. To these spots, generally holy wells, the people of the poor and igno- rant classes still resort as pious pal.. grams taking relief from their infirmi- ties.. They drink of the sacred waters and circle about the fount on their knees while repeating their prayers, and it is a curious fact, as we are in- formed by an old time traveler in Ire- land, that this circling was formerly done "groveling on hands and knees or even lying fiat on the ground and wrig- gling like a snake." This must un- doubtedly have been a relic of the an. cient rites, though the people had not the slightest idea of its origin or even that such a religion bad ever existed on their island. In the same way they still on Bel- tane eve (Bel-tinne, or Bel's fire) kindle "bale fires" on the summit air every hill and send flaming wheels rolling down their sides, though ignorant that they are celebrating a day consecrated to Bel, or Baal, by their Pheenictau and Irish ancestors, who observed it in a precisely similar manner.—New Lappin.

Through the efforts of the Univer- sity Debating Board a high school debating league has been organized, and next year the various high schools will contest for the champion- ship of the state. About twenty-five of the leading ones have already joined. and others are promised later. Hastings was one of the first to enter. The plan is to have a series of con- tests for the championship of each congressional district, and the suc- cessful contestants from each district meet at Minneapolis at the close of the school year- to compete for the championship of the state. In addi- tion to the honors, The Minneapolis Journal offers a $200 cup to the school that comes out undefeated, and a gold medal appropriately en- graved to each tnenlber of the win- ning teats. The contests in each district are arranged and looked after by a dis- trict director. Supt. W. F. Kunze has beenselected for the third. The question has - already been selected, Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished in the United States.

Honey dew is a saccharine liquid found upon -trees. and, when abundant, sprinkled -upon the surface between them. By some it is attributed to insects, and by others it is held that insects have no ugencv in the matter. It would appear that both parties are correct. That plant lice. or aphides, do excrete a saccharine liquid is a well established fact, of which anyone by careful observation can satisfy himself. On the other hand, it seems to be equally well established that some- times this liquid is exuded by the leaves of the trees without any insect being concerned in the operation. What causes the plant to throw off sugar in this man- lier is a question needing further investi- gation. Dry_ weather is most favorable t,. its prod uction. It ie road ily avtaeh-d away by rains, and has been observed to reappear upon the tree several times in succession. The production of honey dew is especially frequent upon linden trees. Bee keepers regard this as a source of honey, and ants and other in- sects are fond of it. -American Cyclo- pedia. Honey dew is, this year, abundant, and particularly so on the leaves of the box elder and cottonwood trees. It is so abundant that it drops upon the walks and dissolves there. I leave never observed it hefore in this1city, and have failed to discover any insects upon the leaves or any ants or bees feeding upon it. F. M. CROSBY. The Right Rev. Samuel Edsall, D.

The passenger department of the New York Central has just printed, and is circulating extensively, a very attractive itinerary of the tour of Mr. Nat Good- win and Miss Maxine Elliott. The New York Sun in speaking of it says: Nat Goodwin has sent out a remarkable pamphlet about his tour in The Merchant of Venice. It has pictures of Mr. Good- win, Miss Elliot, an attractive railway train, locomotive and all, and a map of the United States, showing paces where the company will play. There is a draw- ing of a man cook busily employed over some steaming kettles. The inscription says that he is the Merchant of Venice's chef, and it does not seem unlikely that he is making a right good meal. There is ample praise of Mr Goodwin's acting and apt Shakespearean quotations. The cook is fated with the line, "Letme not stay a jot for dinner, go get it ready," from King Lear. The fact of the tour occurring late in the spring is referred tri in "Where have you been all the while? When everything is ended then you come." from Henry IV., and Hamlet sup- plies a line about touring in "You have been talked of since you travel much." The Merchant of Venice supplies for the subject, "Peering in maps for ports and piers and roads," and "Therefore haste away for we must measure twenty miles to -day." Another quotation on the sub- ject we fail to find anywhere in Shakes- peare, but undoubtedly its use is judi- cious. It is. "We are glad we came by the New York Central." Attached to a portrait of Miss Elliott is "Whose beauty did astonish the survey of richest eyes," from All's Well That Ends Web. The page devoted to the rest of the cast is headed with "Parts that become them happily enough. And in such eves as ours appear not faults." Much Ado About Nothing expresses the astonishment that should be felt for the very expensive production, "The fashion of the world is to avoid cost and you en- counter it." Several appeals to critics are made. one with the "quality of mercy" speech. another with "I leave him to your gracious acceptance" and tt third "With all brief and plain conven- ience let me have your judgment." The whole pamphlet seems to be summed up in the Shakespee can lines, "We are ad- vertised by our loving friends." On June 8th, 9th, and 10th excursion tickets to St. Paul will be . sold at the depot for the Woodmen's convention at a fare and one-third for the round trip. On the 11th, 12th, and 13th tickets will be sold at one fare for the round trip. Hymeneal. Au interesting event in social circles was the marriage of Mr. Otto Ackerman and Miss Lena R. Heinen, taking place at St. Boniface Church on Tuesday, at ten a. m., the Rev. Othmar Erren officiating. At the close of the ceremony 'nuptial high mass was celebrated. Lehengrin's wedding march was rendered by Miss Mary Kranz as the bridal party advanced to the altar, first coming the ushers, Messrs. Albert P. Kimm and N. F. Kranz, then the brides- maid, followed by the bride, who was met by the groom and his best man, entering from the sacristy. The bridesmaid was Miss Barbara Heinen, sister of the bride, and Mr. Louis J. Ackerman, of Lakeville, brother of the groom, was best man. The bride was becomingly attired in French organdie, en traine, with Irish point lace trimmings, tulle veil, and carry- ing a bouquet of bride's roses. The bridesmaid wore pale blue nun's veil- ing, trimmed with cream applique lace, and carried pink roses. The groom and • his best man were in black. The church was well filled with friends and relatives. After the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Heinen, on west Fifth Street, where an informal reception was held, only immediate relatives being present. A number of hand- some, and beautiful presents were received. The bride is a well known and accomplished young lady and greatly beloved by all her friends. The groom is register of deeds of Dakota County, and very popular throughout the city and county. A large circle of friends extend sincere and hearty congratulations. The marriage of Mr. George W. Becker, of Lakeville, and Miss Emma E. Sorg, of Ninin$er, took plape at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.Michael Sort, on Wednesday, at two p. m., the Rev.

The fount of youth has oft been sought Since days of long ago, And oft in fancy men have seen 'Its living waters flow. Through desert, swamp and wilderness The search has been pursued In hope that by the magic fount Youth's charms might be renewed. But men have turned' front that vain quest, Their hopes forever crushed, For though they searched through all the world No magic fountain gushed, And men resigned themselves to age That robbed them of their grace, That sapped their strength and thickly spread Time's wrinkles on the face. In later years men's thoughts have turned To plans for longer lifZ, And in elixir. they bare sought New strength for daily strife, And oft 'tis heralded abroad That scientist or sage Has finally evolved a plan To stay the blight of age. But men grow old, and women, too, As in the days of yore, For no elixirs they have ti Their youthful charms restorig And as they can't deceive themselves, Some seek to hide the truth And dye or bleach their hair and paint On cheeks the hues of youth. `.. t The fount of youth is in each heart, And those who keep it pure Will longer hold the charms of youth And length of life secure. And when at last that fountain fails Anil old age on them steals They'll bear it well because no man Is older than he feels. —Pittsburg. Chronicle -Telegraph. Everyday 0 --Courage. 0 By ETHEL WRIGHT.0 "Polite," grumbled Lieutenant Wil- loughby to himself as he entered the hallway of his friend's apartment in response to a summons bawled out from some part of the interior. "What! Breaking up?" the caller asked. peering through a lighted doorway. Ile had been obliged to announce himself in some war, for the occupant of the room sat on. the floor with his back to the entrance and evidenced no inten- tion of turning to greet his visitor. "Scott, your manners are beastly," was the intruder's next remark as he threaded his way through the maze of household wreckage that made ingress difficult. At this the broad shoulders turned quickly, and in a moment Scott _was shaking his friend's hand in a manner so hearty that Willoughby for- gave the boorishness of his first greet- ing. "Sit down, old man, if you can find a place. Yes, we are breaking, up. as you call it," and the speaker swept his arms in a hopeless way over the con- fusion of books, pictures and bachelor bric-a-brac. 'Where is `the boy?' " asked the call- er. "Cleared out," was Seott's short re- ply as he turned to light his pipe and rummage about for another for his friend. "You haven't quarreled, have you?" Willoughby inquired quickly, for when he left the city a year ago Scott and "the boy" had just taken the apart- ment that was now being dismantled, and the two were apparently settled for some time. "How long have you been in town?" Scott asked instead of answering Wil- loughby's question. "Got here at 3 o'clock. I had to stop at Washington yesterday to make a re- port and came over this morning. I tell you it's good to get back even for 30 days. The fun of soldiering in Cuba is all over. There is nothing but man- ual labor to do there now." Then he added after a moment's hesitation. "I wouldn't have left, though, on any other errand 'than the one that brought me here." "Official, I suppose?" "No," replied Willoughby; "on the contrary, quite the reverse." Scott mumbled something and look- ed so absurdly unhappy that the young soldier laughed outright. "What is the trouble, old man? Has some one bothered you with a retainer? You say Harrison has cleared out. What is it all about? Don't sit there looking at me in that lugubrious fash- ion. Out with it." "The boy and I haven't quarreled," Scott answered after a few futile pulls at his pipe. "I jawed him a bit for leaving me with these confounded rooms on my hands, but there was no row. He has changed his plans—living over in Jersey somewhere—Cranford, I believe." "Oh, Cranford," was the lieutenant's observation, seemingly to himself, as be recalled that the object of bus er- rand lived at the "next stop." "And that's what makes you so glum, is it?" "Not exactly." Scott spoke now with the tone of a man who has formed a resolution to perform a hateful duty. "If you will find a seat somewhere and light that pipe, I'll tell you about it. Fact is, my boy, you are in this story In a way." Willoughby's expression was a com- posite of mystification and uneasiness, but he only waved his band as a signal that his friend should proceed. This was just what he did not seem ready to do. "For heaven's sake, if yoa have any- thing to say," Willoughby finally re- marked rather peevishly, "say it!" "Harrison is going to marry Miss Mead," Scott said suddenly, being care- ful, however, not to look at his listener. When he had imparted this informa- tion, he seemed to be able to go ahead without any further delay. "I'll tell you how it happened—the engagement, I mean. The boy has known her a long time; ever since be came to New York. First girl he ever met, and he was in love with her from the moment he was introduced. Says he was, any- way. But Harrison, you know, is.a A. Telltale Boast. queer sort of chap. Has no idea of his Nell—She used to boast that she was worth and all that.

I am telling you the results of my observations. Harrison never said anything about it. "Well, after Miss Mead met you at Tampa last year the boy's chances seemed to dwindle to nothing." "It seems to me you are making a long story of it," said Willoughby. "Can't you cut it?" "Better let me go on, I guess. Now I've told you how the case stood when Miss Mead came north last year." The listener made another move to protest against the form the narrative bad taken, but realizing that his tor- mentor knew no other way of telling what he had made up his mind to say Willoughby settled back again. "Three or four months after we had been reading in the newspapers about your work In Cuba Harrison was drawn on a jury." A groan from Wil- loughby announced his despair at this new digsession, but Scott went on without a pause: "You will see the connection later. I helped him kill time while he waited to be called, and when he was finally rawn 1 was there as regularly as the judge. I have forgotten the title of t case they put him on. It was the hel of somebody against a man name Stevens, who held a lot of proper that was claimed by the heirs under will. Stevens claimed under a deed and the suit was brought to set asid the deed on the ground that it wa obtained by fraud. "When the lawyers on each side wen through the form of asking the Jur men if they knew any of the lntereste parties to the suit. I saw Harriso shake his head in a bored way. To cu this part short, Miss Mead walked int the courtroom on the second day of th trial. Harrison told me afterward tha he knew in an instant that she was In terested in the case. Before he left th box that day he asked to be allowed t see one of the exhibits, and, readiu the caption, he found that his intuitio had been correct. I believe Miss Mea had been made a party to the suit aft er it had been begun in a lower court and her name did not appear In tit list which the lawyers read when they polled the jury. "We talked the matter over that evening, and of course I advised the boy to explain to thescourt that he had discovered sin* the trial began that he was acquainted with one of the plain- tiffs in the case. I have not been able to make up my mind as to why be in- sisted upon going on with the trial. I explained to him that it was a very risky thing to do. He always was bull- headed. though, when he made up his mind. "Miss Mead did not come to the courtroom again until the last day of the trial. The lawyers strung it out for two weeks. I. was a very close case. I could never have decided it either way. It had been fought by skilled lawyers from the start, and they had succeeded in keeping everything off the record that would throw light on the questions at issue. There was some- thing like $20,000 or 130,000 in it for each of the heirs under the will. These heirs were nieces of the original bene- ficiary, but that hasn't anything to do with this story. Miss Mead is not rich. I believe," the narrator added reflect- ively. "As I have told you, Miss Mead was on hand to hear the lawyers sum up on the last day of the trial. She took good care not to sit where Harrison could see here. but he passed within ten inches of her when the 12 men filed out to the jury room. It was a long, uneasy wait for me while that jury 'de- liberated,' as tbe newspapers say. Har- rison was the foreman, and when he got up to deliver the verdict I could feel my heart beating 'way up in my throat.' " "Go on, go on," Willoughby urged as Scott paused at the recollection of how his heart acted on this occasion. "Well, the jury decided against the heirs at every point. Stevens had sev- eral deeds, and every one was sustain- ed. The heirs didn't get a shilling. Miss Mead had left the room by the time the jury was discharged." "By Jove!" inanely remarked the listener. "Yes, sir, and Harrison told me he had a hard time persuading two of the jurymen to decide against the—against her." "But I don't quite see"— Willoughby began. "Of course you don't, my brave sol- dier boy. I am coming to that now. "Harrison, mind you, had not seen Miss Mead for the two weeks, except on those two days during the trial, and he did not hurry about calling after the verdict. I think that it was a week later that we all met at the theater, a great piece of luck for the boy. I can't tell you exactly how they straightened the matter out. Perhaps it didn't need any straightening, but way back in the box toward the end of the show I heard Miss Mead say, half soberly and half laughingry, 'There are all sorts of courage,' and when we got home"— "I think that's enough, Scott, if you don't mind.

FASHIONABLE AND BEAUTIFUL WASH- STANDS AND DRESSERS. Cut Glass Fitment. the Newest Idea For Both Pieces—A Handsome NU 'ter Ash D r—Pine Washstand In 'IA:hite and Green. For true harmony to exist in the fur- iiishings of a room the dresser and washstand should match. Before the brass bedstead was introduced the bed- stead was also supposed to form one of the set, but the brass model is so cleanly, so bright and attractive that its coming cannot be too heartily wel- comed, and, after all, in a way the A SWELL FRONT DRESSER. brass handles and hinges on the other two articles bring them Into relation- ship with it. Following the same Mr of harmony, The Designer, the source of the illus- trations, advises as follows: Whatever colors appear in the fit- ments or decorations of thg dresser should be repeated in those of the wash- stand. If the cover, pincushion, etc., of the former are pink and white, for instance, the toilet set should be of pink and white china, and if pretty lit- tle silver articles are laid out on the dresser top the metal should appear in the mountings of some of the boxes, brushes, etc., on the washstand. One of the prettiest and newest ideas is to have the toilet set and the dresser fitments of cut glass, even the wash pitcher, which is in large size, and the bowl or basin being of the transparent substance, those who are using the sets declaring they are no more likely to break than fine chitut. Very -little' cut- ting is used on the pitcher and basin, both appearing as if made from clear ice, but the smaller pieces of the set are more elaborately decorated, the powder box, scent bottles, pin trays. etc., of the dresser matching them In cutting.

Perhaps the funniest thing to be told respecting the antiquity of fishing re- lates to the holy wars which were waged in ancient Egypt over the tinny denizens of the water, the conflicts arising from the circumstance that, as often happened, one tribe would insist with the utmost irreverence upon eat- ing up the fishes which the inhabitants of an adjoining territory held in divine adoration. —lie child of today, Itt learning his al- phabet, calls the letters by their names simply because the ancient Phoenicians were pleased to make similar figures the symbols of certain sounds, and it is thought very likely that the Phcenl.

Obethis oescore. General Harney was an officer of the old school, a strict disciplinarian who took no excuses for hesitation in obey- ing orders. When be was on his way to Mexico, when the United States was at war with that country, he engaged teams to transport the baggage and placed in charge of them a Texan named Carter. The streams were all up, and Carter had much trouble, but whenever be tried to modify the gener- al's requirements he was cut short with the admonition, "A11 you've got to do is to obey orders." Says Noah Strilthwick in his recollec- tions called "The Evolution of a State:" They camped one night near the Nue- ces river, which Carter found to be im- passable. He said nothing about it to the general, and the next morning the order was given to move on. Carter started with the wagon train and halt- ed at the river, which was absolutely impassable. Harney came blustering up. "Didn't you know that river was up?" he demanded. "Yes, air." meekly replied the wagon master. "Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't ask me, sir. You said my business was to obey orders. You or- dered me to bitch up and move on. and I did it." "You did quite right, sir. Turn rouud and drive back to camp." If the general had been "done," he was not going to show it. Hr. Hare's Fountain et Tooth. Mr. John Hare, the eminent English actor -manager, said that the most de- lightful compliment he ever received was from Mr. Gladstone, It was a double ended compliment. Whichever way you took it it was satisfactory. Mr. Hare earned fame playing old men's parts, ells character as Mr. Gold - by In "A Pair of Spectacles" being a good example. Added to this was a horror of having his picture taken. Mr. Gladstone hnd never seen a pic- ture of the actor, but Inc knew him well behind the scenes as well as before the footlights. The premier's favorite play was "A Pair of Spectacles," and he al- ways went ,behind the scenes to chat awhile with the actor. The really old man and the made up old man would sit there and talk in the most delight- ful way for an hour after the show. One day the Earl of Rosebery had Mr. Gladstone to dinner, and he also invited his friend, John Hare. The actor came In smooth shaved. looking about 35.

Un- fortunately such a view of the ease Is seldom considered by parents and guardians wbo are inclined to send their children to college simply be- cause It Is considered the proper thing to do. Consequently we find through- out the aountry thousands of young men who have passed through college acting as cheap clerks, bookkeepers or even as car conductors and restaurant waiters.

DEFECTIVE PAGE Cause of Talleyrand's Lameness. The cause of Talleyrand's lameness has long been a matter of dispute. Some stories have it that the defect was congenital; others that it was oc- casioned by an accident which befell him in his infancy. The most curious explanation of all Is that offered by a writer in The Quarterly Review. "To quote the 'very words of our informant, an eminently distinguished diplomat," says the writer, "Talleyrand's Vienna colleague, Baron Wesseeberg, told mo years ago that his lameness was owing to carelessness of his nurse, who laid him down In a field while she flirted with her sweetheart and on coming back to her charge found some pigs dining on the infant's legs. I am sure that Wessenberg told me this as an established fact, and I am all but sure that his authority was Taileyrand him- self." A Variation In S aaaa gen.

HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. JUNE 15, 1901. A REMARKABLE DUEL BOTH OF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE QUICK ON THE TRIGGER. An Enforced Parade Preceded the Gun Play, Which Was on the Pull and Shoot Orden—Why Bratton Vum Glad He Lout His Right Hand. "The most affectionate looking two handed gun play that I ever saw," saki a Colorado gentleman in one of the house committee rooms, "was theone that happened at La Junta, in my state, between 'Big Divide Jim' Brat- ton and George Gannon, as pizenish a pair of real bad men of the type that has now passed away as ever fanned a .45 or twisted a Bowie. "Gannon was the proprietor of the Gilt Edge houkatonk In La Junta, and It was at this place that he had some trouble with Bratton. The argument - ended by Bratton backing out of the door with his hands up, Gannon having the drop. Gannon didn't shoot then be- cause his gun wasn't loaded. He had been cleaning it and had forgotten to replace the cartridges. He'd have killed Bratton otherwise as a matter of course. "That same night Bratton sent word to Gannon that he meditated shooting him up some on the following day. Gannon wasn't a man to take to the cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of notches on his gun barrel himself, and he walked around the next afternoon like a light battery of artillery. 'Big DiVide Jim' Bratton bulged him, how- ever, by turning a corner suddenly as Gannon paraded down the main street, and then it was Gannon's hands that went up for a change. Bratton had two guns covering him, and Gannon knew his gait. " "Ibis,' said Bratton, 'is where 1 get an even break for my coin. Now, you like me so much, Gannon, that 1 want you to sort of show your appreciation of me by welkin around town linked arms with me for awhile.' "It was up to Gannon to comply with this peculiar request. 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton jabbed his guns back into his belt, and then he clutched Gannon's left arm and passed it through his right. The disadvantage of this ar- rangement accrued to Bratton. It left Gannon's gun arm free, while in case of argument Bratton would have to use his left gun. But 'Big Divide Jim' wasn't selfish. 'The population of La Junta was amazed to see 'Big Divide Jim' Bret- ton and George Gannon, who lad al- ways been more or less sore on each otIA,' and 'who had had a quarrel that meant the death of one or both of them on the night before, walking arm in arm up and down the main street of the town. It looked like a peripatetic love feast between the two of 'em. Bat they were watching each other like cats. At the end of the street Bratton, still with his right arm linked to Gan - non's left, stopped suddenly and said: " 'George, I ain't much on the blow about any gun suddenness that 1 may possess, but I sure want to give you a chance. You thrung it into me last night in a way that's eat np so much of the atmosphere around here that there's not enough air left in this neighborhood for both of us to breathe at one and the sante time. I'm a-goin to count three. and when I say "three" It's a breakaway and a finish. You've got a loose right artn. but I ain't no bog. One- two- three!' "The event proved 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton the quicker man and the better nraijistiain. lie got Gannon through the heart, whereas Gannon's ball lodg- ed in Bratton's right wrist. Bratton had to suffer his right hand to be cut off that seine night. "The last tittle I saw him was in Creede. He was sitting on the edge of a bunk in his own cabin, close to a claim he was working. I hadn't seen him since he'd lost his hand. " 'Jim.' said I. 'It's too bad you should have lost that right hand. If the fellow that plugged you bad only got the left hand, why'— '01, 1 don't know,' said Bretton philosophically. 'If I'd ha' lost my left, I wouldn't have been able to play the fiddle any more.' "He reached under his bunk and brought forth an old violin. Then he rigged up an attachment he had for holding the bow in bis right stump, and be played the instrument real sweetly for me for half an hour or so. "'1 couldn't have done no flngerin if I'd ha' lost my left book, you know,' he said simply when he put the old fiddle away."—Wasbington Post. The Result of His Study. "1 suppose you have made a study of human nature," remarked the friend. "I attribute my success in life to that fact," answered Senator Sorghum. "Were you ever tempted to give the world the benefit of your observations, lo put them into book form as a human tomedy or something of that sort?" "My dear sir, it wouldn't take a book to do it. I have figured on the problem of human nature until I know the an- swer. I should just say, 'Hutnan na- ture loves money,' and let it go at that."—Exchange. Punishment and Reward.

The difficulty of appreciating the dif ference tit time that prevails between different countries is very general, au the following list is printed for the pur pose of a ready reference guide by which to calculate the time of any oc currence in another country. All na tions except Spain, Portugal and Rus sift calculate their time from the meri- dian of Greenwich, accepting as stand- ard some even hour meridian east or west of Greenwich. For instance: Western European time, or that of the meridian of Greenwich, is legal in England, Belgium, Holland and Lux- emburg. Central European time, or one hour east of Greenwich, is legal in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzego- vina, the Kongo Free State, Denmark, Italy, Servia, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. Eastern European time, or two hours east of Greenwich, is adopted by Bul- garia, Roumania, Natal and Turkey in Europe. Eight hours east of Greenwich ap- plies to the Philippines. Nine hours east of Greenwich Is adopted by central Australia and Ja- pan. Ten hours east of Greenwich Is offi- cial in Victoria, Queensland and Tas- mania. Eleven and a half hours east has been adopted by New Zealand. The United States, Canada and Mexi- co have adopted the fifth, sixth, sev- enth and eighth hours west of Green- wich. The Hawaiian Islands adopt the me- ridian of 10% hours west. In Spain the meridian of Madrid, 14 minutes 45 seconds west of Green - With, is legal; in Portugal, that of Lis- bon, or 86 minutes 39 seconds west, and in Russia, that of St. Petersburg, or 2 hours, 1 minute and 13 seconds east of Greenwich.—Detroit Free Press. THE PIANO AT ITS BEST. Four Time. a Year None Too Often to Have a Piano Tuned. "There are plenty of people," said a piano tuner, "who let their pianos go one, two, three years without tuning, and in some cases pianos thus neglect- ed may not get very, very woefully off, but a piano should be tuned every three months. That would be none too often to keep it in order. "As a matter of fact, a piano begins to get out of tune again at once after it has been tuned. How could it be otherwise? Nothing stands still. This difference would at first be so slight as scarcely to be perceptible to any but the practiced and sensitive ear of an expert tuner. but it is there. Doesn't a clock begin to run down as soon as it is wound up? Four times a year a plane ought to be tuned, but only a compara- tively small percentage of people give their pianos that attention which Is needed to keep them in their most per- fect loveliness of tone. Piano makers and dealers of course are looking after the tuning of their pianos in stock scrupulously and carefully all the thne. You don't hear pianos out of tune in a piano wareroom. They never let them get out of tune there. They aim, in fact, at keeping them as near perfec- tion as they can. "We are pretty sure to find in every new piano something pleasing and at- tractive. Some share at least of this pleasing quality comes from its being in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any piano at its best it must be kept in tune, and to attain the results most sat- isfactory to all, to the owner and the neighbors alike, a tuning tonic should be administered to every piano not less than four times a year."—New York Sun. Two Anecdotes of Colonel Ingersoll, Senators Morrill, Voorhees and Gor- man were conversing together outside the senate chamber. Colonel Ingersoll chanced to pass by. Mr. Voorhees greeted him and said: "We are discuss- ing the meaning of 'improbable.' What is your definition of the word?" Promptly Colonel Ingersoll replied, "It is a negro going in an opposite direc- tion from a brass band." Colonel Ingersoll was a temperate man. but not a teetotaler'. One day Mrs. James 'G. Blaine was passing through Fifteenth street opposite the treasury department, when out from a liquid refreshment saloon came Colonel Ingersoll and a friend. "My dear colo- nel," said she, "you would not be seen coming out of such a place, would you?" "My dear madam," replied he, "would you expeet me to stay there all the time?"—Washington Times. Making the Choir Sing. Many conscientious ministers have bad trouble with wayward choirs, but not all have bad Dr. Samuel West's witty address or management. There had been difficulty with the singers, and they bad .given out that they should not sing on the next Sunday. This was told to Dr. West. "Well, well, we will see," he said and on Sun- day morning gave out his hymn. After reading it he said very emphatically, "You will begin with the second verse: "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God." The hymn was sung. A Metal Cleaning Process.

The Lasy, Stupid Shag. "Tie sling is the laziest and most stu- pid !Corm of life to be found anywhere on the globe. It is an aquatic fowl, with big, clumsy looking beak and with a form something like the dodo, now extinct," said a western man. "I have spent much time in watching this fowl, which is found in some of the shallow lakes, and the chief point of interest to me was the startling stupidity dis- played. They generally squat on stumps or logs in the lake and watch for the smaller fish that play around the surface of the water. They are fairly clever in catching what they want, and they throw out their bill With considerable precision when they gig for game. But they never get to eat what they catch until they have fed et least one and maybe more than one member of another kind of water fowl. "Whenever a shag begins to catch fish, a long lekged, long necked water hen will take a place immediately be- hind him. When the shag lands a fish, the water hen simply reaches over and gets it. Without any show of resent. ment and Without turning around, the shag will continue its .watch for fish, and this is kept up until the water hen has finished a meal, and then, if no other enterprising member of the same tribe comes along, the shag is permit- ted to enjoy the product of its own sleepy efforts. "I have on one occasion seen one shag feed as many as three water hens be- fore eating a single fish. It is certain- ly a singular display of stupidity, and after having watched the performance a number of times I am convinced that the shag is actually too dull to even know that the water hen stands be- hind him to steal the fish out of his month."—New Orleans Times -Demo- crat English Robbers. Speaking of the early Plantagenet pe- riod, Mr. Henry, in his "History of Great Britain," remarks that the nutu- ber of robbers was so great that the judges could not prevail upon the ju- ries to fihd any of them guilty. Even under the most rigorous admin- istration of Edward III a numerous band of them assailed the town of Bos- ton in 1275 at the time of the fair, 'bet it cal fire and carried off an immense booty in money and goods. Their lead- er. one Robert Chamberlain, a gentle- man of great power and wealth, was taten, tried and executed, but he could not be prevailed upon to Ziscover any of his accomplices. As the other rob- bers of this period were very numer- ous, so some of them were very cruel, and the character which one of their chiefs wore embroidered upon his coat in letters ot silver might be applied to many others—"I am Captain Warner, commander of a troop of robbers, an enemy to God, without pity and with- out remorse."

"The actual amount of good roast beef that a table of athletes will con- sume," writes Walter Camp -in The Century, "Is something, appalling to the uninitiated. Three members of a Yale football team once went to Cam- bridge to watch a match between Har- vard and some other team. These three men stopped at a hotel for their luncheon. Among other things the spokesman of the party ordered tame portions of cold roast beef. 'But, sir,' said the waiter, 'two portions will 'be a great plenty for all three of you.' The giant of the party looked up bland- ly at the servant and said, 'You bring the three portions and then watch us eat it.' "When the writer was captain of the team, long before the days of special method in management, the eleven were to play at Cambridge and, leaving New Haven the afternoon of the day preceding the match, went to a Boston hotel for dinner and the night. Most of the men were readily collected at one or two large tables, but a certain rusher, 'being late, had seated himself at a table in a distant part of the din- ing room, and he was told by the man- ager to order his own dinner. That boy's dinner. and it is needless to say that it was without wine, came to the extraordinary total of $13.85! He was quite able to play the next day, how- ever." The Joke on the Snake Charmer, Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans when a young officer was on the Indian sta- tion in the man-of-war Delaware. With several others he set up a bungalow on shore. He tells in "A Sailor's Log," published by the Appletons, what hap- pened to a snake charmer that came along: "The unfortunate thought came to one of our men that it would be a good idea to get lite Mohammedan drunk to see what he would do. So he prepared a dose for him that was very effective. He poured a good stiff drink of brandy into a beer glass and then filled it with gin instead of water. The charmer took kindly to the drink and in a short time rolled out of his chair on to the floor very drunk and was soon fast asleep. "The bag of snakes had not been thought of up. to this time, but it also fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread over the floor. In the meantime five American officers took to the table and, drawing their feet up, carefully re- mained there until the snake charmer slept off his dose. He snored quietly while the snakes crawled over and around him, but it was a long time be- fore he finally came to himself, secured his pets and took them away. We did not repeat that experiment." Sleeping Car Ethics. It seems that there is an unwritten code of sleeping car ethics which has its fine distinctions. The International says: "The seasoned traveler enters the Pullman as If it were a room in a elub with which he Is familiar, but whidh he has not visited for some time. He stows away his belongings, accord- ing to his habit, puts on his traveling cap and a pair of light shoes or slippers and overgalters, gets out bis newspa- pers and book and, not forgetting his smoking outfit, is ready to be com- fortable. Be it remembered that if slippers be donned they must always be iccompanied by overgaiters, for without these latter the slippered foot is not permissible under the unwritten law of sleeping car travel."

A Fish With Teeth on His Tongue. The biggest of fresh water fishes, the "arapainia" of the Amazon, In South Amerita, which grows to six feet in length, has teeth on its tongue, so that the latter resembles the file and is used as such. Some kinds of trout also have the same peculiarity. Fishes that swal- low their prey entire have their teeth so supported on flexible bases as to bend backward, but not forward, In order that their victims shall not es- cape after they have been once seized. In ages gone by there were ferocious sharks, such as would make a mouth- ful of you without blinking, 70 feet in length. Plenty of their teeth have been fotind which are five Inches long, whereas the biggest of the teeth belonging to sharks that exist at the present day are 134 inches long: Speaking of extinct crea- tures reminds me to say that all of the early birds—those of early geological times, that is—bad teeth, with which they captured the early worms of the same period. Being descendant from reptiles, It is natural that they should possess a dental equipment, but when they ceased to be carnivorous they had 110 teeth any longer. Benton. - When Thomas Hart Benton, the not- ed Missourian, wrote his famous work, "Thirty Years In the United States Senate," which every one praises and no one reads, his publishers, D. Apple- ton & Co., wrote to him asking how large a first edition should be printed. His reply was: "Sir, they can ascertain from the last census bow many persons there are in the United States who can read, sir." • And that was the ouly suggestion he would ever condescend to make. Benton was massive in body and muscular. No man in public life was his equal In physical strength, endur- ance and courage. In reference to a quarrel in the senate he once said: "I ! never quarrel, sir. I sometimes fight, sir, and when Benton fights, sir, there is always a funeral, sir." Benton was sturdily devoted to the Union. He broke with many friends i n consequence. He bore the cogno- men "Old Bullion" because of his sup- port of bimetallism. Tarantulas Are Enemies. Tarantulas are considered deadly foes to each other and are seldom found in company. When imprisoned together, there is a fight, one succumbs and is eaten by the victor. Nature has done a service in making the tarantula so hideous and formidable looking an ob- ject. Indeed, it is owing to this repul- siveness that no greater number of per- sons are stung. The sight of the great, hairy spider crawling near by will cause a cold, creeping sensation down the back ot almost any one. A Victim's Argument. "You have no nerve at all," said the disgusted dentist to the patient who was making a frightful fuss.

The young man with the haggard look sat in the rear ear of an elevated train, staring and staring at one of the advertisements. "English beauty shoes," he mumbled to his companion. "That's what he says." "Yes," said the other, "but that's too short." "Hm, hm," the haggard man replied. "Beautiful shoes from England"— "That won't fit. It's long," was the curt reply. "Well, then, 'Beautiful English shoes' "— "That's only three words. You've got to have four, you know." "That's so, that's so. Ah, I have it!" he cried so loud that all the other pas- sengers in the car gave a jump. "'Eng- lish shoes of beauty,' 23 letters and spaces at last." A compassionate old man looked up from his newspaper. "What's the matter with your friend?" be asked. "Is the chap suf- fering from delirium tremens?" "01, no," the man addressed replied assuringly. "You see, he's just through with his night's work on a morning newspaper. He's a headline writer, you know, and after a fellow has scrib- bled off headlines of 23 letters and spaces for about eight hours steady he contracts that habit and can't get over it. Every advertisement, every scrap of paper he sees for several hours aft- erward until his mind gets rested— well, he begins to count the letters and spaces and turn the wording into a headline that will fit. It isn't exactly delirium tremens. It's something worse. The headlines of 23 letters and spaces go wriggling around in that poor over- worked brain much worse than snakes."—Chicago Chronicle. MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD Signature In an Autograph Album and the Poet's Copy of "Pindar." The Harvard library numbers among its treasures an autograph of Milton and a copy of "Pinder" annotated in Milton's own handwriting, with mar- ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both of these rarities were bequeathed to the university by Charles Sumner. The "Pinder" is dated 1620 and was doubtless used by Milton during his stay at Cambridge university. At the end he has added an alphabetical index In manuscript, occupying two closely written pages of all the authors cited in his notes, with references to the pages in which their names occur. Milton's autograph is found in the pages of an autograph album or visit- orsbook kept, according -to- a eastern common in the sixteenth century, by a Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Car- doyn by name, who resided in Geneva from 1608 to 1640, where Milton, ap- parently, visited him. Another auto- graph in this same album among the hundreds which it contains is that of Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate Earl of Stafford. Milton's signature is dated Jan. 10, 1639, and is appended to a Latin motto—"Travel changes one's sky, but not one's mind," it may be freely rendered and a quotation from his own "Comus:" "If Vertue feeble were, Heaven itselte would stoope to her." The most notable Milton manuscript known to exist is a little book now owned by Trinity college, Cambridge, England, which contains the poet's copies of his so called minor poems, in- cluding "L'Allegro" and "Il Pensero- so." In this country, however, it is said that the only original memorials of the great author of "Paradise Lost" are to be found in these two time stain- ed volumes in the possession of the Harvard library. A Cement Which Resists Acid. In some branches of industry a ce- ment which is proof against the influ- ence of acids is absolutely essential, and such a substance can be prepared by melting together one part of India rubber with two parts of linseed oll. This should be gradually incorporated with three parts of white bole so as to form a plastic mass. This when heated softens but very little. Though It does not easily dry upon the surface, when once set it is not affected at all by hy- drochloric acid and but very little by nitric acid. Its drying and -hardening is materially promoted by mixing with one-fifth of its weight of litharge or minium. Marveled at It. "Yes," said Mr. Henry Peck, "I like to go to the circus.

ON THEIR SEA LEGS. Cattle and Horse. Do Not Get Fright- ened In Rough Weather. "Do the bases and cattle get fright- ened and make murk disturbance In rough weather?" asked the writer of a New York dealer who ships cattle abroad. "Bless you, no. They've got sea legs that would put an old salt to shame. Occasionally a horse will lose his bal- lance, but a bullock is the greatest bal- ancer you ever saw. They are knowing brutes too. You know, we put them four in a pen. Well, you'll never find all four standing up or lying down at -- one time. They figure the thing out and decide how they'll get the most room and most comfort. So two of them stand up. while two lie down. When they get tired, they shift the watch. "The horses like to be talked to when there's a big sea on and things are pretty lively. They always like cer- tain men better than others. So do the cattle. We have one man who can do anything with them. Every bul- lock and horse on the boat knows him by the time we've been out two days. He comes in handy when there's an accident. "It's mighty seldom that a serious accident happens nowadays, but once in awhile a horse or a bullock does get thrown and breaks a leg or does some bad damage. We don't carry a veterinary. The men know as much about ordinary cattle and horse ail- ments as any vet, and if one of the brutes breaks his leg there's nothing for it but to kill him. A veterinary couldn't do anything for him. "The company charges from $6 to $20 a head for carrying cattle and from $27 to $250 a head for horses. When the government inspectors stop- ped overcrowding, they cut down the carrying capacity of some boats 75 head. That made a pretty big hole in the ship's profits in the course of a year."—Exchange. Lincoln's Swear Word. One story that is told of Lincoln re- lates to that extreme, correctively crit- ical attitude which Secretary Seward always maintained toward the presi- dent. Mr. Lincoln and the secretary had managed to escape from a man who had been boring them, and as they reached the house the president threw himself into an armchair and ex- claimed: "By jings, governor, we are here!" Mr. Seward replied by asking in a reproving tone: "Mr. President, where did you -learn that inelegant expression?" Mr. Lincoln immediately turned to several young men who had entered the room in time to hear the exclama- tion and said: "Young gentlemen, excuse me for swearing before you. 'By jings' is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a `by' before it is swearing. I won't do so any more."—Youth's Companion. Only Sunburned. Last summer two little girls in a College avenue family were repeatedly remonstrated with by their indulgent mother for playing bareheaded in the sun. "You will be burned so badly,' said she to them finally, "that people will think you are black children." Her warning had little effect, however, and she gave up trying to keep their hats on. One day she sent them to a neighbor a block or so distant to make some in- quiries concerning a washwoman. Mrs. S., the neighbor in question, mistook them for the children of a Mrs. Black who lived in another street nearby. "You are the little Black children, are you not?" she asked. "Oh, no," came the prompt response from the elder. "Only sunbutned."— Indianapolis News. Wonaerial stones.

PUZZLES FOR, JUDGES SIMPLE WORDS THAT HAVE TANGLED UP ENGLISH COURTS. statue Terms of Almost EverydaJ Lase That Proved to Be Too Pro- found For the Intelligence of the Learned Dench and Dar. In a case that came before a famous lord justice some time ago the counsel for the prosecution in the evidence had to mention a "blouse." The judge asked what a blouse was, and it was explained that this was part of a lady's dress. But the case came to a dead stop for the time, for the judge did not know which part, and after some hesitation the barrister admitted that he wasn't sure. Several learned brothers gave their opinion, some opin- ing a blouse was the upper half of a lady's costume, while others insisted it must be the lower half. The entire court, filled with learned celebrities whose heads held all the laws of Brit- ain, from pitch and toss to manslaugh- ter, argued it out, but nobody was sure. The judge thought it was the lower half, but a junior barrister who' had lately beep married said he thought that that half was called a skirt, but did not feel certain. At length a lady was called, who set the court right. Another odd dilemma happened not long ago when in the Hobson "horse faking" case the word "fetlock" arose. A fetlock, as everybody knows, is the ankle of a horse. The court asked what it was, however, and the prose- cuting counsel was nonplused. The witnesses were out of court save one, and he knew nothing. The judge thought a fetlock was a sort of hind knee, otherwise "hock,".but one learn- ed brother was quite certain it was the lock of hair thaet hangs -over a horse's forehead. The defendant's solicitor opined it was that part of the harness which slips over the tail• the crupper, and another legal celebrity agreed with the judge. Finally the court had to call a stable groom to clear up the mystery. In a case that was settled some years since the recorder was brought up short by a phrase used by the counsel for defense, who spoke of a transaction concerning a pound of "blacklead." This is a common and useful article, but the counsel on being asked to ex- plain its nature said it was a black substance used for boot polishing. The recorder thought it was a mineral used in lead pencils, but another barrister asserted it to be a "tough kind of lead used for roofing houses." The case was brought to a standstill, and one lawyer, unsurpassed in legal knowledge, de- clared that blacklead was a slang term for pig iron as produced In the north country. A fourth expounder of tho law vaguely suggested it was the op- posite of white lead, and finally a do- mestic servant put the court right, and the assembly at last learned that it was used for blacking stoves. Another dilemma was produced a lit- tle while ago on the western circuit by the introduction of the words "dry nurse" in an address to the court. This bewildered the judge, who asked if a dry nurse was a nurse who dried ba- bies after they had been washed. That solution did not occur to the learned counsel, who, after some hesitation, said he thought it meant a nurse who was not addicted to drinking and there- fore most suitable to look after infants. Nobody seemed to know what the term really meant, though several more guesses were made, the last of them that a dry nurse was one who could not amuse children. The court was again nonplused by a statement made that somebody con- cerned in the case supposed to suffer from melancholia was really "as jolly as a sandboy." The judge wanted to know what a sandboy was in order to form some idea as to the exact degree of -jollity involved. The counsel could not tell him, though, one suggested it was a boy who sanded the roads and the other thought it might be a lad building sand castles on the seashore. The whole court stopped to discuss what a sandboy was and why he was jolly, but they could not solve the prob- lem. It is hardly believable that anybody should not know what a "snaffle" is, but a London magistrate recently desir- ed to be informed, and nobody could tell him what a snaffle might be. A solicitor thought it was the same thing as the -"curb," and the clerk had an idea it was a kind of cold in the head which horses caught, causing them to snuffle a good deal. -London Answers. Clocks With "Wheels:' . "Clocks are certainly queer things," said the man who was tinkering at the hall clock in a suburban house the oth- er day. "They get cranky spells just like people. Sometimes they really act as though they were bewitched. A friend of mine had a little clock that had behaved itself and kept good time for years. One day it took a notion to lay off for awhile, and they couldn't get it started again. My friend's wife was cleaning the room several days afterward, and she took the clock and laid it down flat on its back on a chair. It started to go at once and ticked away at a great rate, but as soon as she placed it on end it stopped again. Well, they set it, and for a time it act- ed all right as long as it remained on its back. But it soon got cranky again and refused to go. The other day, just for fun, they turned it upside down, and, would you believe it, that crazy clock started off again. Now it only runs when it is standing on its head, and they are wondering what new fool- ishness it will develop next." -Boston Record. An automatic system of signals for the purpose of warning vessels in stormy weather against the proximity of reefs and rocks has been exhibited to German marine experts. The auto- matic part of the apparatus is said to consist of a wheel with a number of cogs arranged at suitable intervals which slide over a Morse apparatus. The latter is connected with a ladder placed vertically on rising ground on shore or on a lighthouse. The electric waves emanating are taken up by re- ceiving apparatus on vessels having such within a radius of seven miles. A bell sounds, and the receiver notes the spot against which vessels should be warned. Raving a Purpose In Lite, Ambition to achieve has saved many a man and woman from an early grave. Prom a health point of view a definite 1 purpose In life, something which the mind Is bent on accomplishing, is a fac- tor which is too rarely considered. The will power which bolds one to a set task oftentimes wards off physical weakness and weariness better than the drug or medicine which the physi- cian prescribes.

Saunders in St. Louis Republic. eoeoe00oeo•Oeeoe0e0eoeoeoe • The o HONEYMOON: .o.oeoeoeoeo/eoeoe000eoeo0 e It was the day after the wedding and wet enough to damp the ardor of the most devoted of bridegrooms. And John IIampton was not the most de- voted. IIe had married, as most cau- tious and selfish young men do, be- cause lie wanted a home and some one to look after his home comforts. IIe had tried housekeepers, but they had proved failures one and all. They wanted too many evenings out, and their appearance was not calculated to decorate any smart little suburban villa. And so John meditated deeply about the matter. Should he hamper himself with a wife or should he engage an- other .y housekeeper and see how • that worked? "Why not combine the two and get a wife as well as a lady housekeeper?" thought John, and so he kept a sharp eye round him for a bright, pretty do- mesticated girl whom he could honor with his intentions with a view to mat- rimony. - And at last his diligent search was rewarded. Madeline Gray possessed every attraction and virtue that John had determined his pretty wife should have. She was pretty, brilliantly pret- ty. Iter hair was like spun gold, and her eyes were as blue as the bluest of china; but, as John Hampton remark- ed, beauty was not everything, and Madeline's hands, though small and white, were the nimblest in the world. She could knit, and she could sew, she could wash, and, yes, she could even scrub, and do it all in the daintiest and most becoming manner too. Truly Madeline Gray was a jewel which only required the setting of that little Nor- wood villa to perfect. And John Hampton thought himself extremely lucky when this model of virtues accepted his attentions and lat- er his dignified proposal of marriage, and that was how be happened to be looking out of the window of his mod- est little apartments at Brighton one very wet day iu May. Tlie scene was depressing enough. The sea looked dark and gloomy, the beach was deserted, and now and then a dejected looking individual enveloped in a mackintosh hurried along the pa- rade with the seeming object of get- ting home as quickly as possible. "Honeymoons are a mistake," said John to himself. "If I hadn't wanted a cltange of air, I shouldn't have come. It's an ideal morning for the seaside, I must say." At that moment Mrs. Hampton en- tered the room, and he turned to greet her. "Not a very charming morning, my dear, is it?" said Le amicably. "Well, what can you expect from a place like Brighton?" said his wife coolly. "It's all the same here whether it rains or shines." John raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why, my dear"— he began anxious- ly. "You thought 1 liked Brighton, I sup- pose," interrupted Mrs. Hampton calm- ly. "Well, it's a pity you didn't trou- ble to inquire before. As you arranged this holiday yourself, you mustn't grumble, and now come and have your breakfast." To say that Mr. Hampton was sur- prised is stating the- case too mildly. IIe was simply astounded. He looked at his wife as at some Chinese puzzle. Was this self possessed and command- ing woman really the meek and sub- dued little maiden be had married the day before? And yet there she sat, her golden head as golden as ever, her eyes as blue, pouring out the coffee with as much sang froid as if she bad been Mrs. IIampton for years. "I presume you ordered this break- fast," she said as she finished her task. "Yes, dear," said John. "Is there"— "Wo, there isn't anything I like," she replied, without troubling him to finish his remark, and looking at the viands on the table. "Will you please ring the bell?" John obeyed, and when the maid ap- peared she gave an order for a new laid egg and a piece of hot toast, pass- ing the cold meat to her husband with the dignity of a queen. And a very good breakfast she made too. John was rather taken aback. In his idea delicate and refined women should eat very little and of the dainti- est viands, and this morning meal of his wife's surprised him as much as her manner had done. She had acted so differently during their engagement. Evidently he had misunderstood her, and he determined to assert his author- ity as her lord and master at once. There was no time to lose. "Let a wo- man get the upper hand," thought John, "and your influence is gone for- ever." And so, after the breakfast things were cleared away, he told her to put on her bonnet and accompany him for a long walk. "Good gracious, John, are you mad?" said his wife. "In weather like this!" "Certainly. It will do you far more good than stopping at home. Come, do a: I tell you." htrs.- Hampton looked at -him scorn- fully. "John Hampton," she said firmly, "if you like to go out and contract a chill, I've no objection, except that I shall have the trouble of nursing you, but don't take me quite for a fool. I shall stay indoors and write a long letter to mamma." And so, very much crestfallen at his first attempt to assert his authority, John put on his bat and went down on the beach and amused himself by mak- ing ducks and drakes ou tbe waves. But in time this sportbecame tame, and, after buying some cigarettes and a newspaper, he retraced his steps once more to the house. On his way be passed a couple who were walking under a large umbrella. The man bad his right arm round the girl's waist, and the girl held up a radiant face to his and was chatting charmingly. They appeared to be per- fectly oblivious to the rain and every- thing but just themselves. For some reason or other John sighed heavily and then to excuse himself of the weakness looked after them con- temptuously and denounced them as deluded fools. When he reached home, Mrs. Hamp- ton met him at the door and asked him to kindly post her letters. There were two—one to mamma, certainly, but the other was addressed to a young man who had been a frequent caller at the maternal home until their engage- ment was announced. "Excuse me," he said in a dignified manner. "May I be Informed of the contents of this letter?" "No, you may not," said Mrs. Hamp- ton stiffly. "And your request is an insult. Pray make haste back, as lunch- eon is on the table." And again John obeyed, though with very ill grace. The next day Mrs. Hampton declared that honeymoons were very dull. "You had better give notice here and pay the week's bills and take rooms at one of the best hotels. It will be a treat to see a few people at mealtimes even if one does not speak to them." At this John made a strenuous pro- test. He hated a large gathering, he said, and much preferred a quiet life. Besides, he was hurt and mortified that she should so soon tire of his company. In a honeymoon a wife and husband should be all and all to one another. It should be a brief time sacred to them- selves, a time when there should be no intrusions from the outside world. But Mrs. Hampton only curled her pretty lips. "That's all nonsense," she said, with a derisive laugh. "You only read about that sort of thing In books. In real life a marriage is a very prosaic matter. When we return to town and you go to business, it will be different. I shall entertain my friends then and shall have plenty to amuse me." And so to the hotel they went, and after that Mrs. Hampton couldn't com- plain that she saw too much of John. She became a great favorite with the visitors there and was always joining in some expedition or the other, and it was with a great sigh of relief from the happy bridegroom that the holiday came to an end. How pleasant the little villa at Nor- wood looked after those desolate rooms at the hotel. Even Mrs. Hampton ad- mired John's taste at the manner in which they were furnished, and they sat down to tea in the little dining room for the first time together. John took up his evening paper as was his wont and scanned it through. but raised bis bead suddenly at what sounded like a muted sob. "Madeline," he said anxiously, "what is the matter, dear?" And he jumped up and went to her side, whereupon the distressed one lifted a face rippling with laughter. "Oh, John, dear John," she said. "Tell me, did you enjoy your honey- moon very much, dear?" John hadn't, but he didn't say so. He caught the white bands held out to him and drew the owner to him. - "Madeline," he said, "did you"— "Yes; 1 did," said Madeline, Inter- rupting him in her usual way. "I wanted to give you a lesson, sir. You wanted to have things all your own way. 1 divined 1t from the first. You married me because you wanted a com- panionable housekeeper. Come, con- fess, sir. You didu't marry me be- cause you loved me." "But now, dearest," he said, still holding her close. "Well, I think, thanks to my lesson, you do a little bit now." And John confessed be did just a lit- tle bit, and his thoughts traveled back to that happy young couple nudes the umbrella at Brighton. "We'll have another honeymoon later on, Madeline," he said; "a real one this time."—Penny Pictorial Magazine. A Kipling Picture of Buffalo. After Rudyard Kipling had spent a day or two in Buffalo in the eighties he thus described it: "Buffalo is a large village of a quarter of a million inhabitants situated on the seashore, which is falsely called Lake Erie. Once clear of the main business streets you launch upon miles and miles of as- phalted roads running between cot- tages and cut stone residences of those who have money and peace. When you have seen the outside of a few hundred thousand of these homes and the in- side of a few score, yo* begin to understand wby the American does not take a deep interest in what they call 'polities' and why he is so vaguely and generally proud of the country that en- ables him to be so comfortable. How can the owner of a dainty chalet, with smoked oak furniture, imitation Vene- tian tapestry curtains, hot and cold water laid on, a bed of geraniums and hollyhocks, a baby crawling down the veranda and a self acting, twirly whirly hose gently hissing over the grass in the balmy dusk of an August evening—how can such a man despair of the republic?" rot 3atiereetore.

"Thr bogy of a jockey's life is 'tak- ing on flesh; " says Ainsle•'s. "He dreads this as a beauty dreads to lose her charms, and his whole thought from the age of 16 to 25 Is to avoid the catastrophe. This is the pernicious feature of the life and distinguishes it as a healthful sport from boxing or from football, In which the physical being is developed according to the laws of nature and is not outraged or balked. In order to reduce his weight nine pounds Monk Overton once re- mained in a Turkish bath from 10 p. m. one day until 2 p. m. the next, with no nourishment except a cup of tea and some toast. "Again, Mike Bergen,. mounted on a favorite, rode such a poor race that the stewards came to the paddock to inves- tigate and punish him for fraudulent riding. They forgave the performance, however, when they found him col- lapsed and unable to speak. Knowing that he bad to ride at a certain weight, Bergen had spent 48 hours in a Turk- ish bath, eating nothing whatever. When be Peached the track, he was so weak that a stimulant was necessary. The one drink of whisky he took so demoralized his faculties that be could - scarcely keep his seat in the saddle. 1 "Such a violation of physical Bevel- , opment at the age when a boy should be most rapidly maturing makes it dif- ficult for a jockey ever to become ro- bust. Moreover, the mere riding of a race is a terrible drain on the nerve force of a jockey. A boy may lose a pound of weight in a hard race." Missouri Man Claims His Invention Will Attain Unprecedented Speed. Leroy Stoner of Centerview, Mo., has invented a rotary steam engine which Is attracting a great deal of at- tention from engineers and mechanics. It is, according to the Kansas City Times, a reciprocating engine, with continuous movement, and It attains a speed hitherto unattained by any en- gine. Its revolutions exceed those even of an electric dynamo, and some engineers predict that it will revolu- tionize engine building. The chief features of Mr. Stoner's en- gine are two four cogwheel pistous inclosed in a cast boxing resembling a figure 8. Through a series of ducts the steaan is admitted into this boxing and converted directly Into power and action In such a manner that there ere no dead points. While having only one pair of rotary cogwheel pistons, Mr. Stoner has an engine so arranged that by using a single lever attached to a circular plate valve having a se- ries of ports he can reverse and 9,,pply either boiler pressure or steam, 'with expansion to start it, and can operate it with practically the same economy of steam as a Corliss. The most important feature about the engine and the one upon which Mr. Stoner relies to make it practical is an arrangement to prevent the wear on the boxings, because of which moat rotary engines have failed. By means of this device all the friction on the bearings is overcome. One of the chief uses to which Mr. Stoner thinks his engine may be put is providing propulsive power to, steamships. NEW BLEACHING LIQUOR. German■ Invent a Way of Producing One Out of Ordinary Brine. E. L. Harris, our consular agent at Eibenstock, Germany, says that Dr. Oettel, a German professor, together with Haas & Stahl, electricians in Aue, Saxony, have invented an apparatus for producing "chemic," or bleaching liquor, out of ordinary brine, the prod- uct being sodium hypochlorite, which is attracting considerable attention among textile manufacturers. It Is claimed that the chemic obtained by this method produces a whiteness su- perior to that of the English bleaching liquor. The apparatus is extremely simple, being mainly a trough or box or slate swung on trunnions in a suitable frame, with an inlet for the brine and an outlet for the sodium hypochlorite resulting from the passage of a current ELEACHINO APPARATUS. of electricity through the brine as it runs through the box, the poles or elec- trodes being placed at opposite ends of the box. The thermometers are sus- pended at the inlet and at the outlet in order to show at a glance the strength of the sodium hypochlorite. It having been found that every rise of 5 de- grees Celsius corresponds to one gram of free or active chlorine per liter. equal to 62 grains per gallon. In order to clean the apparatus the thermometers are removed and the trough reversed and cleansed with a hose pipe. The electrodes last about one year and can be easily replaced. The bleaching liquor, the product of the apparatus, is suitable for bleaching raw cotton, yarn, cloth, lace and the finest embroidered fabrics tnade of cot- ton, linen, jute or flax, pulp, paper, etc. Immediately Suspicious.

On a clear and beautiful Sunday morning in a parish not far from Mil- waukee a priest was pleased to note the presence at service of au unusual- ly large number of the male members of his congregation, and, since he had been informed of considerable trouble in his flock, he considered it an oppor- tune time to give those present a friendly, yet pointed, sermon on for- bearance. He charged the men, par- ticularly the married men, to be ever kind, courteous and considerate to wo- men, to overlook all opportunities for trouble, to be good to them and so- licitous of their welfare, and finished with a masterly peroration relating to connubial decency on the part of hus- bands. Shortly after he met an old and re- spected member of the church and said4 "Michael, 1 was glad to see you at church Sunday. And how did you like the sermon?" "Well, father," the old man answer- ed, "the language was beautchiful, and the delivery was foine; but, be jabbers, father, if you was only married about three months you'd tell a different sto- ry!"—Milwaukee Sentinel. Resented the Allegation. Two encu zigzagged 'unsteadily down Long street the other morning shortly after midnight. 1t was a case of "unit- ed we stand, divided we fall."

Then No. 1 became impatient at the other's obstinacy and spoke very frankly: "Shay, you're—hlc—you're a sbump— thash what you are! I've seen worse men 'n—hic—you in jail!" This was more than No. 2 could stand. He felt that his honor as a gen- tleman had been sullied, and. bracing himself' stiffly, he replied, with spirit: "If you shay you've—hie—seen worse men 'D ole in jail, why—hie—you're a liar, thash what you are!"—Ohio State Journal.

The desert of Sahara is no little spot. It covers 2,500,000 square miles be- tween the Atlantic ocean and the Nile valley, Drawing the Line. A good story is told in Missouri at the expense of its once famous govern- or, Claiborne • F. Jackson. Before he solved the enigma of lovelock he bad married five sisters in reasonable lapses of consecutiveness. After one wife had been lost and appropriately mourned be espoused another, and he kept his courting within a narrow cir- cle of his own relatives, for be rather liked the family. The antiquated father of these girls was almost deaf, and when the gov- ernor went to this octogenarian to ask for his surviving daughter the follow- ing conversation ensued: "I want Lizzie." "Hb?" "I want you to let me have Eliza- beth " "Oh, you want Lizzie, do you? What for?" "For my wife." "For life." "I want—to—marry—her." "Oh, yes. Just so. I hear you, boy." "I'm precious glad you do." muttered the governor. "Well," slowly responded the vet- eran, "you needn't halloo so that the whole neighborhood knows It. Yes, you can have her. You've got 'em all now, my lad, but for goodness' sake, if anything happens to that 'ere poor mis- guided gal, don't come and ask me for the old woman!" Jacksou solemnly promised that he never would. Origin of "Wh4g." Several reasons have been assigned to account for the word "Whig," uni- versally known to all the English speaking people. By some the word Is supposed to be a contraction of a lon- ger one, "whiggamore," which in some parts of England and Scotland, espe- cially Scotland, signifies a drover or herder. It was in 1679 that the word first became common in the British isles, when the struggle was in progress be- tween the peasantry and the aristoc- racy to have or not to have the bill passed by parliament to exclude the Duke of York from the line of succes- sion. All who were opposed to placing the duke in the line of succession were derisively called "wbiggamores," or "drovers," just as the city dude of to- day speakers of the "grangers," the "grays," the "chin whiskers" and the "hayseeders." But Scotch tradition gives altogether a different reason for the existence of the word. It is this: During the early religious wars In Scotland the weakest of the factions used the words "We Hope in God" as a motto. The Initials of these words were placed on their banners thus, "W. H. 1. G.," and soon all the followers of that clan were giv en the title of "Whig." which was aft- erward attached as a party nickname. Journalistic Errors. 1 do not allude to what are obviously mere misprints, such as when The Morning Post announced at tbe head of its fashionable intelligence that Lord Palmerston bad gone down into Hamp- shire with a party of fiends to shoot peasants, but I refer to blunders due to crass ignorance of a pretentious order. Perhaps the best instance was when one of the "young lions" of The Daily Telegraph in a leading article enumer- ated the great masters of Greek sculp- ture as Phldias, Praxiteles and Milo, ignorant of the fact that Milo Is not a sculptor, but an island.

M. Steele In his article on "Some People 1 Have Married" in The Ladies' Home Jour- nal. "His people are Congregational- ists, but while at Yale he became a Unitarian. fler parents are Roman Catholics, but she was a rnember of the Ethical Cull.ure society at Carnegie halt In contpliance witb her mother's wish he asked five different priests to marry them, but all refused.

DEFECTIVE PAGE The Bride at Last Said "Obey:" In telling about "Some People I',Have Married" in Ladies' Home Journal the Rev. D. Bd. Steele says: "Being an Episcopalian, I always use the formal printed service of the prayer book. In this the greatest sticil, r is `obey.' One day a couple came to me, bringing as witnesses the parents of both bride and groom- Everything proceeded smooth- ly to the point `love, honor and obey,' when the bride refused to say the last. 1 repeated it and waited. Again she refused, and I shut up my book. "Then there was a scene. They talk- ed it over, and the more seriously they argued and discussed the more stub- bornly she refused. The parents be- came angry, the groom excited and the bride hysterical. To humor her, he joined In the request to have we leave it out. But I liked the fellow and de- cided that a little sternness from we in the present might be a favor to him in the future. So I told thea] I had no authority to change it and would not do so. I tried to show tht*foolishness of her objection, but It was no use. "Finally I said to hien: `Well, this household must have a head some- where. I will leave it out for her if you will say it.' Then it was his time to refuse, which he did. IIe gathered up his hat and started for the door, when, presto change, she sprang after him, led him back by the hand, looked meekly up at him and said it." A Winning Touch. "Darling!" The strong, manly voice was low and intense as the handsome face bent over the fair, bowed head by the fire. "Darling," he went on eagerly, "there are others here observing us. I must see you a moment alone." For an instant the listener was quiet, and not a curl stirred on the lofty brow. Then the blue eyes were raised to the beseeching dark ones. "Yes, what is it?" was the low reply. "I—well"— A slight red Stith mantled the neck and cheeks of the speaker, in striking contrast to the cool, calm dignity dis- played in every movement of the half reclining figure in the big plush chair. "The fact is," he went on, mustering up courage,' the first embarrassment giving place to a little more self con- fidence, "I have come to ask you some- thing I never expected would pass my lips, especially after the last sum I borrowed from you. Darling. will you lend me $10?" Jack Darling laid aside his paper. "Of course, old man," he cried hearti- ly. "Let's first get a drink."

When she bad finished the story, she said: "Now, Tommy, if pa were to die, wouldn't you work to keep mamma?" "Why, no," said the little chap, not relishing the idea of work. "What for? Ain't we got a good house to live in?" "Oh, yes, my dear," said the mother, "but we can't eat the house, you know." "Well, ain't we got plenty of things in the pantry?" continued the young bopeful.

Prevalence of the Custom Is Due to Naturally Imperfect Vision. Dr. A. Barkan, a San Franeisco spe- cialist who bas been making a study of the increasing use of eyeglasses by school children, according to The Ex- aminer of that city, makes the follow- ing statement about it: "The percentage of children who wear glasses has very greatly increased with- in a few years. Why? Because the ma- jority of children are born with imper- fect eyes. The perfect eye Is a globe, but there are very few eyes of perfect form, and whenever they depart from the perfect form we have, of course, defective vision. There is what is known in common speech as the far- sighted eye, the nearsighted eye and the astigmatic eye, each due to an im- perfection in the architecture of this delicate and complex structure, which causes errors of refraction. "There is in the eye a small muscle, the muscle of accommodation, which bas in the normal eye a certain work to do in the focusing. A child suffer- ing from a farsightedness ma= be per- fectly unconscious of defective vision. Ile instinctively calls upon this little muscle to aid him In seeing things near to him. By straining this little musele he succeeds in seeing to his sat- isfaction. That muscle is there to per- form a certain function—no more. "What happens when we overtax anything when we use anything in excess? "It becomes exhausted. It wears out. So with the little muscle of ac- commodation. Distress, nervousness, headache, mental fatigue, are the re- sult. The child suffers. So to prevent this we put glasses on him. They are merely the artificial means to supply what is lacking in nature. "In the myopic, or nearsighted, eye, which is the,elongated eyeball, It is necessary to supply the power to focus distant objects. In the astigmatic eye, which can be variously misshaped. glasses must be adjusted, and they re- quire the moat careful adjustment, so as to aid the,eye to focus correctly. "I do not believe in putting on glass- es to correctan infinitesimal error in refraction, but I do believe that chil- dren when they are of school age should have their eyes carefully exam- ined before they enter on school work, so that errors of refraction may be dis- covered and they may be saved from the distress and injury resulting from their neglect." • COUNTS YOUR MONEY. Alt, You Need to De Is to Shossel It Ikto This Ingenious Macklae. The Chicago Times -Herald believes most people have no trouble in count- ing their money and few, ever com- plain of the trouble attendant upon doing so. There are some people, how- ever, who find the task of counting cqin an exceedingly trying and oner- ous one, and these are the clerks in banks and certain of the government departments, where large sums of mon- ey are daily handled. The United States subtreasury in Chicago is one of these departments, but there the drudgery of counting coin is now a thing of the past. This is because of a little device that is now in operation in the subtreasury rooms in the Rand -McNally building, the invention of Captain Robert I. Por- ter, chief of the secret service agents attached to the subtreasury. Captain Porter's machine looks like a miniature cornsheller, such as they use on the farm. it Is fastened to the edge of the tables on which the coins are :CSW MONEY COUNTING MACHINE. piled up. On the side of the machine is a little dial. When a clerk wants to count $1.000 or $100,000, he just shovels the coins into the hopper of the machine and turns the crank. The coins pass through the machine and fall into a bag suspended for their re- ception, while an exact register of the amount is recorded on the dial. Mis- takes are impossible, there Is no brain worry, and the process is eight or ten times faster than it is possible to at- tain by band. As an illustration, the machine will cour,t $1,000 in quarters in seven minute while to count that sum by hand will take the most ex- pert clerk in the subtreasury four hours, with the attendant liability of mistakes on his part. Of course the same machine will not handle various sized coins, and there have to be sep- arate ones for dimes, quarters, halves and $1 pieces. Cheap Substltate For Rubber. After having experimented for sev- eral years a Copenhagen chemist has succeeded in producing a material which possesses qualities that will render it of the greatest importance to the rubber industry. It is pro- duced, it seems, from asphalt and can be used for the manufacture of linole- um, rubbers, insulators, etc. It is also claimed that the material can be used as a paint in all colors and that it Is absolutely waterproof. Throe Kings Before Victoria. Victoria ascended the throne at an in- auspicious moment. Kingship had fall- en into a miserable disrepute. The last three monarchs who had sat upon our throne had done litale to make their office easy or glorious. George III had obscured whatever virtues were his by an obstinacy of opinion which lost us a vast colony and which might well have enslaved us to a foreign power. George IV had died unwept and un - pitied. As he bad made his distin- guished office a scandal, as he had made bis throne ridiculous by a deplor- able levity of taste and conduct, so he had forfeited the affection of his peo- ple and alienated their sympathy long before death overtook him. "There never was an individual," proclaimed The Times but a few weeks after his death. "less regretted by his fellow creatures than this deceased king. What eye has wept for him? What heart has heaved one throb of unnec- essary sorrow?" And The Times ex- pressed in those bitter words nothing less than the poptflar judgment.

A Scottish Echo. The late Sims Reeves was fond of telling a story that related -to an early engagement in Glasgow which was ar- ranged through a metropolitan agency. One of the items on the programme was "Hail, Smiling Morn!" and of course Mr. Reeves was put down for the solo portion. The chorus consists of an echo, and the London agent as- sured the soloist that a satisfactory choir had been engaged. The whole matter was settled hur- riedly. Mr. Reeves was at first disin- clined to accept, as other. engagements prevented him from reaching Glasgow in time for a rehearsal with the choir. "Don't worry abort that. my dear sir," said the agent. "You will find the choir perfect." The concert was a success. and -In due course "Hail, Smiling Morn!" was called for. When the soloist came to the lines requiring an echo, he deliv- ered them in his best manner—"At Whose bright presence darkness flies away." Imagine his horror when the echo repeated his words in the broad- est Scotch: "Flees awn', flees awa'!" Yet Sims Reeves averred that not a person in the audience smiled or ap- peared to see anything incongruous. When he talked over the matter with a bailie after the concert, the good man assured him: "That's nothing at all. You were a tittle wrong in your pronunciation, and the echo was correct. You see, it was a Scottish echo."—Youth's Companion. She Gave Herself Away. Judge Davis was one day in his pri- vate office when he was president of the senate and acting vice president. A woman came into the room to see him. He turned and said, "Well, mad- am, what can 1 do for you?" She wail neatly dressed in black, with an air of extreme poverty. She told a wretched tele of sorrow and suffering, winding up with the climax that she and her little family were actually starving and had not tasted food for two days. The judge seemed deeply moved. He ex- cused himself for not attending to the case for the moment, as the senate was nearly ready to open. He looked at bis watch with an air of vexation, as if it were not going. and said, "Can any one tell me what time it is?" His visitor pulled out it gold watch and told him the time. The judge said, "Can It be true that your children have been without food for two days when you have a gold watch in the house?"

The fats morgana is a singular aerial phenomenon akin to the mirage. It Is seen in many parts of the world, but most frequently and in greatest per- fectlon/at the strait of Messina, be- tween Sicily and Italy. So many con- ditions must coincide, however, that even there it is of comparatively rare occurrence. To allow of its production the sun must be at an angle of 45 de- grees with the water, both sky and sea must be calm, and the tidal current suf- ficiently strong to cause the water in the center to rise higher than on the edges of the strait. When these condi- tions are fully met, the observer on the heights of Calabria, looking toward Messina, will behold a series of rapidly changing pictures, sometimes of most exquisite beauty. Castles, colonnades, successions of beautiful arches, palaces, cities, with houses and streets and church domes. mountains, forests, grottoes, will ap- pear and vanish, to be succeeded per- haps by fleets of ships, sometimes placidly sailing over the deep, some- times inverted, while a halo like a rainbow surrounds every image. It is supposed that the images are due to the irregular refractive powers of the different layers of air above the sea, which magnify, repeat and distort the objects on the Sicilian shore beyond, but to the Italians these singular ap- pearances are the castles of the Prin- cess Morgana, and the view of them is supposed to bring good fortune to the beholder. Skeleton la the Closet. The original of the singular saying, "A skeleton in the closet," which is found in almost every language in Eu- rope, 1s found in one of those curious collections of stories which the monks of the middle ages were fond of mak- ing both for their own amusement and for the instruction of youth. In one of these collections, compiled by an un- known hand about the middle of the tenth century, there is a story of a wealthy lady who, having a secret grief, confided it to a friend who was apparently a perfectly happy woman. She was the wife of a nobleman who lived in his castle in the south of France. She and her husband were outwardly on the most loving terms. Not a care cloud seemed to cast a shadow on her path. After hearing the story of her afflict- ed friend the noble lady took her by the hand and led her to a secret cham- ber adjoining her bedroom, there open- ed the door of a closet and exposed a skeleton. "Know, my friend," she said, "no one is happy. Every day I am forced by my husband to kiss this grinning death head, which is that of a gentleman who was my husband's ri- val and whom I would have married bad not my parents willed otherwise." A Simple, Bashful Maid. "I am glad your name is Mary," said Mr. Slowcoach to his sweetheart, whom he bad been courting for several years. "Why so?" "Because I was reading today and came across a line which said, 'Mary is the sweetest name that woman ever bore.' " "That is poetically expressed. I've heard my father say it to my mother, whose name is Mary. It is from some poet, isn't it?" "I believe so." "But I have also beard my father say that there was even a sweeter name than Mary." "I think be must have been mistak- en," said the lover as he tenderly press- ed his sweetheart's band. "No; I do not think he was mis- taken." "What was the other name?" A beautiful blush suffused the charm- ing maiden's cheek, the silken lashes fell and veiled the lovely eyes, and in a tone as soft as the whisperings of an 1Eolian harp she murmured: "Wife." The cards are out—London Answers. trnelainted Moneys. Nearly every bank of old establish- ment bas on deposit sums of unclaimed money. The aggregate of all these sums, if it could be told, would aston- ish the world. These moneys in the Bank of England are estimated vari- ously, some placing the aggregate amount at less than $500,000 and some at many times that sum. In the Bank of England, as in all banks in this country and in England, the total amount is made up of small sums. Ac- cording to law, the Bank of England should give public access to the list of such lost moneys, whereas it never does anything of the sort. When challenged, it invites legal action, but no one cares for a legal contest with the Bank of England, so the question never is faced. How do these unclaimed moneys ac- cumulate? Largely through the omis- sion of stockholders to claim dividends and through the fact that many people die without leaving behind them a strict account of their investments. Forethought.

A Canadian hunter tells this incident of how he once came face to face with his quarry and hadn't the heart to fire: "It wasn't a case of 'buck fever,' such as a ryavice might experience, for I had been a hunter for many years, and had killed a good many deer.;. This was a particularly fine buck that 1 had followed for three days. A strong man can run any deer to earth in time, and at last I had my prey tired out. From the top of a hill I sighted Bim a few miles away. He had given up the fight, and had stretched himself out on the snow. As I stalked him, he changed his position and took shelter behind a bowlder, and, using the same bowlder for a shelter, I came sud- denly face to face with him. He didn't attempt to run away, but stood there looking at me with the most piteous pair of eyes I ever saw. "Shoot? I could have no more shot him than I could have shot a child. Had the chance come from a distance of 100 yards, I would have shot him down and carried his antlers home in triumph, but once having looked into those eyes it would have been nothing leas than murder. I have hunted deer since then, but I find the sport affords me little pleasure. Whenever I draw a bead, the picture of those mute, ap- pealing eyes comes before me, and, though it has not prevented me from pulling the trigger, I have always felt glad somehow when my bullet failed to find its mark."—Washington Post. How Lithuanians Play Dice., A peculiar dice game Is indulged in by the gambling element of Lithua- nians in Baltimore. Gathering about the dice tables in the saloons kept by their fellow coun- trymen they quickly lose all interest in everything outside of that which is transpiring upon the cloth before them. As they sit or stand about the tables the careworn features of old men con- trast strongly with the ruddy faces of the youths. The eagerness with which the players seek the numbers upon the falling pieces is wolfish in its intensity. Comparatively small sums are placed upon the game, and side bets run from 5 cents to $1. Although resembling in the manner in which it is operated the high dice game as played by the Angio -Saxon races, the dice of the Lithuanians, in- stead of numbering from 1 to 6, ruu from 1 to 10, the numbering of the six sides being 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10.

Collectors of autographs, postcards, etc., are not always conscious of the importunacy of their demands, and the following anecdote, which comes from Triest, gives a striking example of their failing and of the humorous way in which the intended victim treated his tormentor. An Italian painter re- ceived a letter in the following terms: Dear Sir—I should like to ask you a great favor and hope you will excuse the liberty I take. I am making a collection of painted postcards and should feel myself highly flattered if you would kindly send me one, with a little picture painted on it by yourself. It will certainly be the most treasured card of my collection, as I should be able to my that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to receive one, I beg to thank you in advance. The artist replied: Dear Sir—I should like to ask you a great favor and hope you will excuse the liberty I take. I am making a collection of thousand franc notes and should feel myself highly flattered if you would kindly send me one. It will certainly be the moat highly treasured thousand franc'note of my collection, as I should be able to sly that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to receive one, I beg to thank you in ad- vance. Bread and Cheese. A couple advanced in years got mar- ried lately. The husband had a room in the house securely locked, the inside of which his wife had never seen, and, being curi- ous as to its contents, she begged again and again to see the room. At last he consented, and, lo and behold, the room was full of whole cheeses! He explained matters by telling her that for every sweetheart he had in his young days he bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don't ery, dear," he continued. "I've had no sweetheart since I met you." "It's not that," she replied, still sob- bing. "I only wish I had been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. We could have had bread and cheese enough to Last us all our days."—Lon- don Tit -Bits.

In March, 1848, I had to go over to Paris to finish up some work there and just came in for the revolution. From my windows 1 had a fine view of all that was going on. I well remember the pandemonium In the streets, the aspect of the savage mob, the wanton firing of shots at quiet spectators, the hoisting of Louis Philippe's nankeen trousers on the flagstaff of the Tuile- ries. When the bullets began to come through my windows, I thought it time to be off while it was still possible. Then came the question bow to get my box full et 'e-' -"-^ 7anuscripts. belonging 1. :. _ildla mummy, to the trait The only railroad open was the line to Havre, which bad been broken up close to the station, but farther on was intact.

Ten francs; the same result. But at the sight of a louts d'or she changed her mind and, with an "Allez, mon ami; allez, toujours," dispatched her hus- band on his perilous expedition. Arrived in London, I went straight to the Prussian legation and was the first to give Bunsen the news of Louis Philippe's flight from Paris. So even a poor scholar had to play bis small part in the events that go to make up history.—Max Muller's Autobiography. Montesama's WeM. One of the most pleasing natural curiosities in the territory of Arizona is the pool of water known as Monte - swim's well. It is situated 15 miles northeast of the old abandoned mili- tary post known as Camp Verde. It is 250 feet in diameter, and the clear, pure water is about 60 feet below the surface of the surrounding country. Some years ago certain military offi- cers sounded the pool and found that it had a uniform depth of 80 feet of water except In one place, apparently about six feet square, where the sound- ing line went down about 500 feet without touching bottom. The well empties Into Beaver creek only about 100 yards distant, the wa- ter gushing forth from the rocks as though it were under great pressure. The well is undoubtedly supplied from subterranean sources, possibly through the hole sounded by the army officers years ago. The sides of the well are honeycombed with caves and tunnels, permitting sightseers to descend to the water's edge. Montezuma's well contains no fish. The flow of water from it is the same throughout the season. Popular opin- ion has attributed the origin of the well to volcanic action, but as the rock surrounding it is limestone it is more than probable that the action of the Water is responsible for its creation.— Native American. Millions Made by Planting Trees. Any one who takes a vital interest in the welfare of his grandchildren can insure their being rich by planting trees on treeless land, which land he can leave to them in his will. Some big British fortunes have been provid- ed for in this manner. A predecessor of the present Duke of Athole bad a lot of land, but it was not especially valu- able—in fact, he was "land poor." He determined that his descendants should fare better and so began plant- ing trees. In the course of his lifetime he planted 14,095,719 larch trees alone. covering an area of 10,324 acres. His last plantation covered 7,800 acres, which in the ordinary way becomes a forest of mature timber TO years after planting. Thinned down to about 350 trees an acre, each tree will contain at least 50 cubic feet of timber, which, at 25 cents a foot, gives a sum of $4,375 an acre, a total for the value of the timber on the last plantation alone of $34,500,000. The whole initial outlay for this plan- tation, which bas so increased the wealth of the ancient house of Athole, is said to have been only about $15,000 for the seedling trees and the cost of the labor of planting them. The main- tenance of the wood was paid for out of the profits arising from the sale of young wood when thinning the planta- tions. Abe Lincoln. Of all the great men I have known Lincoln is the one who bas left upon me the impression of a sterling son of God. Straightforward, unflinching, not loving the work he bad to do, but fac- ing it with a bold and true heart; mild whenever he had a chance, stern as iron when the public weal required it, following a bee line to the goal which duty set before him. I can still feel the grip of his massive hand and the searching look of his kindly eye. I re. member that when Lord Lyons, who was a bachelor, went to communicate the news of the marriage of the Prince of Wales to him officially he took the queen's letter in his hand and said, "Well, Lord Lyons, all I can say is, 'Go and do thou likewise.'

The dlscotery of what is true and the practice of that which Is good are the two most important objects of pbi- losophy.--Juahl., Peculiarities of Caracas. "The morning after our arrival at the hotel in Caracas," says W. E. Curtis, "I called for a glass of milk while dress- ing. On every subsequent morning during our stay a Blass of milk was brought to me at precisely the same hour without instructions, and al- though the servant was told several times that it was nct wanted she did not appear to understand and contin- ued to bring it just the same. "In the hotel were electric bells. The first day I rang for something, and a certain boy answered the summons. The next morning I rang again and again, and no one responded. Finally I went into the dining room and found there half a dozen servants. "'Didn't you bear my bell ring?' I asked. " `Si, senor' (yes, sir), was the reply. "'Then why didn't you answer it? "'The boy that answers your excel- lency's bell has gone to market with the manager.' "'But you knew he was not here, and you should have come in his place.' "'No, senor. It is his occupation to answer your bell. I answer the bell of the gentleman in the next room.' "And as long as I remained in that hotel my bell was answered only by the one particular boy. If be was not in, I could ring for an hour without receiv- ing a response, although the house was full of idle servants." Edison and Platinum. A story will serve to throw light up- on Edison's character. At one time there was a great fear in the scientific world that the deposits of platinum were about to become extinct. Edison thereupon organized a correspondence bureau and sent letters to every Amer- ican consul upon the globe, to British consuls in ports where the United States had no representative and to scientific men in every land. The let- ter gave a clear statement respecting the metal, how and where it was found and might be found, bow it could be identified and treated and much other information. In each letter were inclosed samples of platinum as found in the various rock beds. This may seem to be a small undertaking, but when it is re- membered that the letters were sent off by the thousands, that the postage was 10 cents to each letter and that the pieces of platinum inclosed were almost as valuable as metallic gold, the cost of the achievement is readily seen. While he did not succeed in greatly in- creasing the output of platinum, he set at rest all fear of its extinction and thus earned the gratitude of every scientific investigator.—Frank Leslie's Magazine. The Place Was Filled. At a seance the other day, when the lights bad been turned low, the me- dium was describing a tall, dark eyed, handsome spirit, with long moustaches and his hair parted carefully down the center, that was hovering round a mid- dle aged but elderly looking man, when he burst suddenly into tears. Heart- rending sobs shook his thin frame. "George, George!" be cried. "Why, oh, why did you leave me to the mis- ery of these past years?" "Then you knew him?" asked the medium. "Knew Bim?" murmured the down- hearted man. "I saw him daily for months and months. Ob, George," be continued, "why did you die?" "My good man," pleaded the medium, "you must pull yourself together. "Though his loss to you must have been a great one, you may yet meet another friend who will fill bis place." "No, no!" he cried. "His place is filled?' "Filled! Why, what do you mean?" asked the medium, astonished. "He was my wife's first husband!"— Pearson's Weekly. Fully Explained to John. "John," she said as she toyed with one of ,his coat buttons, "this is leap year, is it not?"

"I hope you don't expect me to pro- pose to you?" "Why, Mamie, dear, I never gave the matter a thought I—er—to tell the truth, I've only known you for—that is to say"— "I'm glad you didn't expect me to propose. I'm not that kind, I hope.

Wellington's Endurance. Wellington on one occasion started, Sir Herbert Maxwell tells us, at 7 a. 133. -,- rode to a place 28 miles distant, here held a review and was back at the place from which he had started for dinner between 4 and 5 p. m., says Goldwin Smith in The Atlantic. He galloped 26 miles and back to see whether damage bad been done to a pontoon train. He rode 17 miles in two hours from Freneda to Ciudad Rodrigo, where he dined, gave a ball and sup- ped, was in the saddle again at 3 a. m., galloped back to Freneda by 6 and was doing business again at noon. He rose regularly at 6 and wrote till 9 and after dinner wrote again from 9 till 12. It must be essential to every general and indeed to every man who is bear- ing a heavy load of anxious business to be a good sleeper. Napoleon was a first rate sleeper; so was Pitt; so was Brougham; so was Mt. Gladstone; so was Wellington. At Salamanca Wellington, having given his order for the battle, said to his aid -de -camps "Watch the French through your glass, Fitz Roy. I ant going to take a rest. When they reach that copse near the gap in the hills, wake me." Then he lay down and was fast asleep in a minute. In the midst of the critical operations before Water- loo, feeling weary, he laid himself down, put a newspaper over his face and took a nap. For Exercise Why Not Walk? The best exercise in the world is walking. A person who knows how to walk in- telligently can get along without a gymnasium. No other form of exercise brings so many muscles into play and develops them t;' normally. The most popular games are those in which walking forms a prominent part. Golf, croquet and in a sense cricket and even bicycling merely give an excuse for walking. Every one knows how to walk prop- erly. It is because of carelessness that so many walk badly. The body should be carried erect, the chest well out, the bead back, while the arms should swing freely at the sides. The pace should be regulated to one's strength. Every one should walk fast enough and far enough to get the body in a comfortable glow. To get the best re- sults from walking one should give his undivided attention to it. In other words, he should walk for the pleasure of it and not carry worries with him. Excessive walking is injurious. Nev- er walk just after a heavy meal or aft - ter violent exercise. And after a walk it is well to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before taking up severe mental work. Lamb In Either Case. One of the editors who read the man- uscript of Henry Thew Stephenson's "Patroon Van Voikenberg" thought that the author might be a good man to know. Accordingly he wrote a pleasant personal letter, inviting a bet- ter acquaintance, and, as one of the tests of companionable fitness, inquired whether the author preferred Lamb or Milton. Mr. Stephenson replied, acknowledg- ing the pleasure the letter bad given him and saying: "I do not know whether you ask If I like Lamb or mutton or Lamb or Mil- ton best, but In either case it's Lamb." Even the reflection on the editor's handwriting could not detract from the editorial approbation of Mr. Stephen - son's choice, and the new partnership of minds was immediately formed.— Youth's Companion. Would Rather Smoke Than Eat. "One day," writes an American In Havana, "I came across an old Cuban woman sitting disconsolately on a rock near Morro castle. Sbe told me in Spanish that for three days she had had nothing to eat but a loaf of bread and coffee. She looked it. I gave her a Spanish dollar and followed in her wake. She entered the first cafe she came to and bought a drink and a ci- gar. I couldn't help laughing to see her as she walked along the street, puffing away at the weed purchased with my money. She seemed perfectly content- ed. The Cubans, even the women, would rather smoke than eat. They take only two meals a day, breakfast about 10 o'clock and dinner at 4 in the afternoon." Pigeons' Nests. A curious preference of certain pi- geons for the use of metallic objects in building their nests is noted by 11. Maurice Dusolier In The Revue ScIen- tiflque. He assures us that several pairs of these birds that be has observ- ed in Paris have raised their young in nests made entirely of hairpins: these articles they collected in the paths of the Luxembourg. The young pigeons grew up normally as they would in a softer nest. M. Dusolier believes that there is a useful suggestion in this for pigeon fanciers, who are often over- anxious, be thinks, to see that their charges have soft material for their nests. Re Went.

Hodgson, of this city, has received an appointment as United States consular agent at Schie- dam, the Netherlands, a point ten miles from Rotterdam. He ought to be congratulated upon his unexpected good 'fortune, but the appointment, coming through Sen. M. E.

The Fourth of July will be fitting- ly celebrated in Hastings this year, and a cordial invitation is extended to all living in this vicinity, as well as adjacent towns, to come here and enjoy themselves.

Hodgson may be entirely capable of performing the duties of the office, but he is certainly not the only man who is capable, and if, other things being equal, political affiliation is to cut any figure at all, Mr. Clapp has made a mistake and ene which he will have difficulty in explaining. —3fiulteeitelis Journal.

"There is a fellow In our office who 1s a chronic borrower," said a young man employed in a large Market street es- tablishment recently. "He got into nearly everybody In the place before we all made up our minds to stop lend- ing. He has owed me $2 for nearly a year, but I'm nearly square, although he has never paid me a penny of it. That sounds queer, but it is the truth. I'll tell you how I've worked it. "Every once in awhile one of the fel- lows will say, 'I'm going to make So- and-so give me what he owes me next pay day or know the reason why.' That's my chance, and I casually re- mark, 'I'lll bet you a quarter you don't get It.' Usually the fellow takes me up, and when pay day comes be loses his bet, for So-and-so never pays. ru small bets of quarters and dimes, luncheons and cigars I have nearly got back the amount I originally Loaned to the chronic borrower." — Philadelphia' Record. A Trait of Augustin Daly. A lovely trait of Mr. Daly's character was his tenderness and thought for chil- dren. I never knew him to pass a lit- tle newsboy on the street without buy- ing a paper, and he always took, the paper with a look in his eyes as much as to say, "We must help the boys to get a living." It was a beautiful trait —not giving as charity, but buying what the boy had to sell.—Mrs. Gilbert In Scribner's Magazine. The Market.. BARLEY. -48 ® 53 cts. BEEF. --116.00®97 BRAN.—$13.

Frank, with his brother Nicholas, aged five years, and sister Clara, aged nine years, left home about fifteen minutes before the drowning to play at the lower levee, the two boys climbing into a row boat anchored at the dock, while the girl remained on shore. Frank stood up in the seat in the further end of the boat to look at a passing steamer, and the waves dashing against the skiff hurled him into the water, and he was drowned before help could be summoned.

I'd like my favorite books to bind So that their outward dress To every bihliomaniac's mind Their contents should express. Napoleon's life should glare in red, John Calvin's gloom in blue; Thus they would typify bloodshed And sour religion's hue. The prize ring record of the past Must be in blue and black, • While any color that is fast Would do for Derby track. The "popes" in scarlet well may go; In jealous green "Othello;" In gray "Old Age of Cicero," And "London Cries" in yellow. My Walton should his gentle art In salmon hest express, And Penn and Fox the Friendly heart In quiet drab confess. Intestine wars I clothe in vellum, While pigskin Bacon grasps, And flat romances such as "Pelham" Should stand in calf with clasps.

Of course th was short handed—four hands watch to handle an oversparred b of nearly- 1,000 tons—and as a c quence Jack's ungainly want of sm ness was trying to his overwo watch mates, who were, besides, ble to understand his inability or willingness to growl at the hardne the common lot. The chief man in watch was a huge Shetland Sandy Rorison, who, broadly weak was everything that Jack was not. feet two in his stocking vamps, upr as a lower mast and agile as a lea seaman on board a man-of-war, th was small wonder that Sandy sorely irritated by the wooden m merits of my deliberate chum. But day when, relieved from the whee came into the forecastle for a "vers the pipe" I found Sandy bullying in a piratical manner. All pruden considerations were forgotten, an interfered, although it was like com between a lion and his kill. Black with fury, Sandy turned u me, tearing off his jumper the wh and in choking monosyllables invi me to come outside and die. I refus giving as my reason that I did not tired of life and admitting that I fully aware of his ability to m cracker hash of me. But while stood gasping I put It to him whet If he had a chum any consideration his own safety would stop him fr risking it in the endeavor to save t chum from such a dog's life as Sandy, was now leading Jack Stad Well, the struggle betweeu rage a righteousness in that big, rough m was painful to see. It lasted for nes five minutes, while I stood calmly- pu ing at my pipe with a numb sense "what must be will be" about m Then suddenly the big fellow went a sat down, buried his face iu his ban and was silent. I went about my wo unmolested, but for nearly a wee there was an air of expectation abo the whole of us—a sense that an exp sion might occur at any moment. Th the tension relaxed, and I saw wi quiet delight that Rorison lead entire abandoned his hazing of Jack. After a most miserable passage 110 days we arrived at our port, a 'most immediately after came a pening for me to join a fine ship econd mate. It could not be disregar ti, although I had to forfeit to t navisb skipper the whole of my ou ward passage earnings for the prat ege of being discharged. So Jack an parted, making no sign, as is the cu on' of men, of the rending pain of ou eparation. When next I saw Jack, several year fter, I bad left the sea, but on a per dical visit to the docks—a habit I wa ong curing myself of—I met him, look ng for a ship. How triumphantly ore him westward to ley little hom need not say, but when in the cours f conversation I found that he an orison had been chums ever since ft the llagelian I was dumfounded e more because, in spite of the clang Rorison after my risky interferenc n that memorable afternoon, I ha assed many unhappy hours, thinking my conceit and ignorance of th obleness of which the majority of hu an kind are capable, given the prope pportunity for showing it, that Jae ould have but a sorry time of it aftc had left him. Malvolio thought nobly the soul, and I have had reason, Go nows, to think nobly of my felloe en, even of those who upon a casual quaintance seemed only capable of citing disgust. I believe that few deed are the men or women whc ve not within them the germ of as roic deeds as ever thrilled the hearts d moistened the eyes of mankind. though, alas, myriads live and die anting the occasion that could fruc- y that germ.

I remember none in real , though the big troopers, George uncewell and Phil, have been im- rtalized by Dickens in "Bleak use," and the probability is that h a friendship bad been known to t marvelous man. How the bond ween the Shetland loan and the Firm dually grew and toughened I had means of knowing, for Jack was a n of so few words that even my er questioning never succeeded in wing from him the information that hirsted for. owever, to resume my story, tbe ✓ succeeded in obtaining berths in same ship again, a big Iron clipper, Theodosia, bound to Melbourne.

BULLEN. 2 S©poopOo000000000©0000000CS What a depth of mystery is concealed in the phenomena of likes and dislikes! Why at first sight are we attracted by one person and repelled by another', This is of course a common experience of most people, but one of the strangest instances I have ever known was in my own affection for Jack Stadey and all that grew out of it. Stadey was a Russian Finn, one of a race that on board ship has always had the reputation of being a bit wizard - like, credited with the possession of dread powers, such as the ability to raise or still a storm, become invisible, and so on. The bare truth about the seafaring Fiuns, however, is that they make probably the finest all round mariners in the world. No other sea folk combine so completely all the qualities that go to make up the per- fect seaman. Many of them may be met with who can build a vessel, make 'her spars, her sails and her rigging, do the blacksmith work and all the mani- fold varieties of odd workmanship that go to complete a ship's equipment; take her to sea and navigate her on soundest mathematical principles and do all these acts and deeds with the poorest, most primitive tools and under the most miserable, poverty stricken con- ditions. But as a rule they are not smart. They must be allowed to do their work in their own way, at their own pace and with no close scrutiny Into anything except results. Now, Jack Staley was a typical Finn, as far as his slow, ungainly mocernents went, but none of that ability and adaptiveness which is char- acteristic of his countrymen was mani- fest in flim. To the ordinary observer he was just a heavy, awkward "Dutch- man," who couldn't jump to save his life anti who would necessarily be put upon all the heaviest, dirtiest jobs while the sailor work was being done by smarter men. With a long, square head, faded blue eyes and straggling - flaxen mustache, round shoulders and dangling, crooked arms he seemed born to be the butt of his more favored shipmates. Yet when I first became ac- quainted with him in the forecastle of the old Dartmouth, outward bound to Hongkong, something about him ap- pealed to me, and we became chums. The rest of the crew, with one notable exception, were not bad fellows, and Jack shuffled along serenely through the voyage, quite undisturbed by the fact that no work of any seamanlike nature ever came to his share. I came in for a good deal of not ill natured chaff from the rest for my close inti- macy with him, but it only had the effect of knitting us closer together, for there is just that strain of obsti- nacy about me that opposition only stiffens. And as I studied that simple, childlike man I found that be had a heart of gold, a nature that had no taint of selfishness and was sublimely unconscious of its own worth. We made the round voyage together, and on our return to London I per- suaded him to quit the gloomy en- vironment of sailortown to come and take lodgings with me near Oxford street, whence we could sally forth and find ourselves at once in the midst of clean, interesting life, free from the Importunities of the denizens of Shad- well that prey upon the sailor. My ex- periences of Loudon Life were turned to good account in those pleasant days, all too short. Together we did all the sights, and it would be hard to say which of us enjoyed himself most. At last, our funds having dwindled to the last £5, we must needs go and look for a ship. I had "passed" for second mate, but did not try very hard to get the berth that my certificate entitled me to take, and finally we both succeeded in get- ting berths before the mast in a bark called the Magellan, bound for New Zealand. To crown the common sense programme we had been following out we did a thing I have never seen deep water sailors do before or since. We took a goodly supply of such delicacies on board with us as would, had we hus- banded them, have kept us from hun- ger until we crossed the line. But sail- or Jack, with ail his faults, is not dean, and so all hands shared in the good things testi] they were gone, which was In about three days. To our great 'disgust, Jack and I were picked for separate watches, so that our chats pick were limited to the second dog watch, ness that pleasant time between 6 and 8 p. a ch m., when both watches can fraternize ai at their ease and discuss all the queer ' N rt questions that appeal to the sailor ship mind. a p Jack never complained.

Up the sparkling channel they sped, with ev- ery stitch of canvas set, and a great contentment reigning on board at the prospect Pect o! the approaching completion of the voyage under such favorable conditions. Being foul, the Theodosia made slow progress, but so steady was the favoring wind that in two days she ed up her channel pilot off Dunge- . He was hardly on board before ange came. One of those sudden es came howling down the stern b sea, and gradually the laboring was stripped of her wings, until in erfect whirl of freezing spindrift was groping through the gloom ss the Thames estuary. But no un - on board, and the confidence felt in t well known skill and seamanship those splendid mariners makes ev the most timid of deep water Ballo feel secure under their cbarge. No man is infallible, however, a just before midnight a shock whi threw' ail hands off their feet broug the huge vessel up all standing. N many minutes were needed to show e ery man on board that she was doo ed. Lying as she was on the weath edge of the Galloper sand (though h position was unknown even to the p lot), she was exposed to the full fu of the gale. and the blue lights at rockets made but the faintest impre stop upon the appalling blackuess. A hands worked with feverish energy free the long disused boats from the grips, although they were often Kul ed headlong from this task by th crushing impact of those inky mass of water that rose in terrible might a around, and as the boats were cleare so they were destroyed until but on remained seaworthy and afloat upo the lee side, fast by the end of the for brace. One by one the beaten, bruise and almost despairing men succeede in boarding that tiny ars: of refuge a it strained and plunged like a terrific creature striving to escape from tit proximity of the perishing leviatha When it appeared that all hands wer crowded into the overburdened boa the watchful skipper mounted the le rail and, awaiting his opportunity, leap ed for his life. "Cast off, cast off!" shouted a dozer voices as the captain struggled aft t the place of command. But one cl' overtopped them all—the frenzied ques tion of Rorison, "Where's Jack Sta dey?" A babel of replies arose, be out of that tumult one fact emerged he was not among them. The next ino meat, as a mountainous swell lifted the boat high above the ship's rail, Rorisot had leaped to his feet and, catching hold of the drooping main brace above his head, was hauling himself back on board again. And the boat had gone. Doubtless in the confusion some man had succeeded In casting the end of the rope adrift that held her, not knowing what happened, so that the next vast roller swept her away on its crest, a hundred fathoms in an instant. The wide mouth of the dark engulfed her. All unheeding the disappearance of the boat. Rorison fought his way about the submerged and roaring decks, peer- ing with a seaman's batlike power of vision through the dark for any sign of his chum. Buffeted by the scourg- ing seas, conscious that be was fast losing what little strength remained to him, he yet persisted in his search un- til, with a cry of joy, be found poor Stadey jammed between the fife rail and the pumps, just alive, but with a broken leg and area. Not a word pass- ed between them, but with a sudden accession of vigor Sandy managed to drag his chum aft and lash his limp body to one of the poop hencoops. IIe then cast another coop adrift anti se- cured it to the side of the first. Hav- ing done this, he lashed himself by Stadey's side and. with one hand feel- ing the languid pulsation of his chum's heart, awaited the next comber that should sweep their frail raft away into the hissing sea. Next morning, under a sky of heav- enly glory, two Harwich fishermen found the tiny raft, still supporting the empty husks of those two faithful souls, undivided even unto the end of their hard life and togetiee- entered in- to rest. With these two exceptions all hands were saved.—New York Evening Post. be of eu TS nd ch lit of v- m- er er 1- I'y id s- 11 t0 it •1- e es 11 d e n e d d 8 d n. e t, e "It wot id give a genuine and reli- gious Tui x a fit if he saw how little appreciation Americans show for the rose and what little reverence they have for it" spoke a florist as he wrap- ped the foil about the stems of a bou- tonniere.

The Turks. therefore, have great rev- erence for the flower and allow it to bloom and die untouched, except on state occasions and for the purpose of making rosewater, "After the conquest by the Turks they would not worship in any church until the walls were cleansed and wash- ed with rosewater and thus purified by the blood of the prophet. It is used on the body for the same purpose. A Turk whose conscience is stung by some act or deed he has committed will caress and pay reverence to the rose to ap- pease the wrath of the prophet and Allah. "With these ideas Inculcated in him from youth it would shock him severe- ly to see the pretty flower strewn in the path of a bridal couple, thrown on the public stage or banked up in hun- dreds ata swell reception or party to be crushed and spoiled in an evening." 1 —Exchange. o. Sensible Conclusion, _ Two doctors once had a disagree- ment—as the best of doctors sometimes I will have—and lost their tempers. "I hesitate to say just what I think I of you," angrily exclaimed one of the two, "for you have not many years to live! Consumption has marked you for a victim." "Ob, It has, has it? How do you know?" "By the 'clubbing' of your fingers," referring to the wasting away of the fingers near where they join the hands. "Do I need to call your attention to that?" "Perhaps not." retorted the other. "But do you know you bear the unmis- takable indication of an early death yourself ?" "Where, sir?" "In those hollows at the back of your neck near the head, where you can't see them. They denote a fatal lack of vitality." "In that case," rejoined the one who had spoken first, extending his hand, "we are foolish to quarrel. Let us prescribe foe each other."

When George 111 ascended the thissne of England, his wealthy subjects were beginning to leave off wigs and to ap- pear in their own hair, "if they had any." As the sovereign was himself one of the offenders, the peruke mak- ers, who feared a serious loss of trade. prepared a petition, in which they pray- ed his majesty to be graciously pleased to "shave his head" for the good of dis- tressed workmen and wear a wig, as his father had done before him. When the petitioners walked to the royal palace, however, It was noticed that they wore no wigs themselves. As this seemed unfair to the onlookers, they seized several of the leading pro- cessionists and cut their hair with any implement that came most readily to hand. From this incident arose a host of curious caricatures. The wooden leg makers were said to have especial claims on the king's consideration, in- asmuch as the conclusion of peace had deprived them of a profitable source of employment; hence the suggestion that his majesty should not only wear a wooden leg himself, but enjoin the peo- ple to follow bis laudable example.

"To supply some of the big modern buildings with awnings," said an awn- ing maker, "costs as much as it would to build a moderate sized house. "Not all of the great buildings require awnings. Some of the very largest have their principal exposure in such a direction that they are not needed, the sun not shining on these windows dur- ing the hours the offices are occupied. And then, of course, there are great buildings that do not require awnings on some sides, but need them on others or in courts, and so on. "Here, for instance, is a building with about 1,000 windows, of which 600 or thereabout are supplied with awnings. "Another building I have in mind has about 1,600 windows. 1 don't know how many awnings they have there, but if it is supplied in the sante propor- tion as the other that would give it about 1,000 awnings. I dare say that, in fact, you would find in the city sin- gle buildini s with more than a thou- sand awnings. "You see, just the awnings for some of these great modern buildings amount to quite an item."—New York Sun. l:tilising the Ad.

Joe Manton, the famous gunmaker, was crossing Hounslow heath when he was stopped by a highwayman. On hearing the summons to "stand and de- liver" Manton recognized a pistol of his own make leveled at his head. "Why, confound it, you rascal," cried the in- dignant gunmaker, "I'm Joe Manton, and that's one of my pistols you've got. How dare you try to rob me!" "Oh, you're Joe Manton, are you.," said the highwayman coolly. "Well, you charg- ed me 10 guineas for this brace of pis- tols, which 1 call a confounded swin- dle, though I admit they're a good pair of barkers. Now I mean to be quits with you. Hand me over 10 guineas, and I'll let you go because you're Joe Manton, though I know you have got 150 at least about you." Joseph swallowed his wrath and promptly paid the 10 guineas. But he never forgave the highwayman for get- ting a brace of his best pistols for nix. and he made himself a special double gun with barrels barely two feet long. which he always carried about with him afterward when traveling and christened "The Highwayman's Mas- ter."

VANITY OF SAVAGES. Red hien Love to Pose In Grotesque Attire Before the Camera. As evidence of the extent to which the ornamental precedes the useful Ex- plorer Humboldt noted the fact that the Orinoco Indians in fair weather strutted about attired in all the finery they were able to procure, their faces painted gaudily, their heads decked with feathers, their whole aim being to strike astonishment to the beholder and no regard whatever h:..1 for com- fort. When the weather was bad, Hum- boldt found that the same men would doff their clothing and carry it about to save it for display on future sunny days. . The same traits are seen today in the' North American Indians, little modified by many years of Intermingling with civilization. That part of Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, -running from Second to Sixth street is the favorite promenade of visiting Indians. Portions of Sec- ond and Third streets, running off the avenue, are filled with boarding houses especially patronized by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites in consequence. A number of photographers in the vi- cinity are the chief attraetions of this neighborhood for the aborigines. Noll' Ing so delights then as to strut gravely from their boarding houses to these art galleries to sit for solemn pieturea at Uncle Sam'a expense, the hill being charged in with neeessaries irw idental to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for his Photograph in full paint anti feathers and a grotesque mixture of e!a'ap ready trade gaMatta Is with blankets and bear cian's would be the greatest hardship possible to the chieftains. Showing the same disposition Hum- boldt noted, the visitors get t buupselves up more barbarously the closer they get to civilization.—St. Louis Republic. A RARE VOLUME BY PENN. Only Known Copy la Owned by Quakers. In Phlindelobin. The only known copy of Penn's issue of "Magna ('harts•" published in by the Bradford Press. is the property of the Meeting For Surcerinv.. a repre- sentative body of the !'t'iem' yearly meeting in Philadelphia. Its title is "The Excellent Privilege of 1. herty and Propriety: Being the Birthright of the Freeborn Subjects of England." The copy is not generally open to the public. The peculiar significance of this book is that a half dozen years after Penn founded his colony lie wished to have the colonists keenly realize that they would have to stand for their fights in the new country as well as the old, where they had been so cruelly perse- cuted. Ile wrote this hook in order that they might be informed on the consti- tution of their local government and know what were the legal bases of their rights as citizens. Curiously enough the only proof there is that this work was William Penn's is the statement made by Chief Justice David Lloyd in 1728, a great Quaker leader who was Penn's attor- ney general at the time the book was issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also at than time an intimate friend of Wil- liam Penn and consequently knew whereof he spoke. - The volume was reproduced in fac- simile by the Philobiblon club in 1897 for a limited number of subscriber's. The original volume, however, must al- ways remain the rare tiling that it is, one of the best expressions of liberty under law that the mind of the great founder could conceive.—Philadelphia Press.

Reminiscences of Men Who Had Seen Worse Days and Irritating Announcements Wbea They Were Hard 1'p and Ont of Employment. The advance agent met the leading man of another show the other night, and, as they had not seen each other in [:even years, there was a warmness about their greeting that was refresh- ing. "Dear old Tom!" said the leading man. "I was thinking of you not five minutes ago. Sit down, you dear old fellow! I passed a bakery not five min- utes ago, and I thought of you. Why, here's Willis! 1 was Just saying to Tom that I never see a taker's that I dou't think of him. Tom and I were poor once! Mighty poor too. I re- member that we had been turned out of different homes on the same cold night and met each other for the first time by chance. We shared the com- forts of a butcher's wagon that night and went upon a rummaging expedi- tion the next day. We halted in front of a German bakery, half starved and disgusted with life generally. There was a huge sign in the window which said, 'There Is NoJCak-e Like Ours.' We hadn't a penny between us, but Tom stepped in and asked for a sample of the cake. The -Dutchman didn't ap- preciate the humor of the request, so Tom said, 'You may keep your cake, boss; but, say, give me a chunk of bread, quick, or I'll cut out your giz- zard.' I'll never forget that cake sign because it took us hours to get away from the police who were attracted to the scene by the baker's cries for help." "But that was not my only experi- ence with a peculiar sign," remarked the advance agent after a hearty laugh. '•The year before I went on the road for the first time I was in as hard luck as ever man was. I had pawned ev- erything in sight and was almost starv- ed. I found an umbrella in the hall- way of a down town building, and the janitor told me to keep it. It was a fairly good rain shield, and I immedi- ately carried it to mine uncle. 1 didn't know this particular relative, although I had formed the acquaintance of hun- dreds of his people. His place was on Sixth avenue, and he gave Inc 75 cents on lt, which I gladly accepted. As be was making out the ticket be said: " `Do you want to save it from the maths?' " "Yes,' I answered. " 'at will cost you 12 cents. Per- haps you would like to have it insured? .It is always advisable, but it will cost you 12 cents more,' replied my friend. " 'All right,' I said. "fake good care of it.' He could have eaten it for all I cared, for I never intended to redeem it. I was about to leave the place when I saw a big sign on the far wall. It said: " •No extra charge for putting watch- es and jewelry in the safe in the office.' "Watches and jewelry! It brought the tears to my eyes, and as I crawled into my 10 Bent bed that night I thought of diamond necklaces, pearls and rubies of priceless value and—cake. Oh, the curse of some signs! How they mock the poor!" They were ail silent a moment, but the one addressed as Willis was the first to resume conversation, and be said: "There's my friend, Big John Smith. Let me introduce him. Since you chaps are talking of signs and hard -luck, let me tell you of the time that i had to leave my trunk at the old Stevens House, on lower Broadway. and light out by the shades of midnight to get away from a hotel bill that I couldn't pay. Everything 1 bad in the world was locked up in that trunk, and as I could not remove anything without ex- citing suspicion 1 thought it best to keep out of jail by leaving everything behind me. I must have walked the streets at least a week famished and penniless. One afternoon I was pass- ing along an up town street, hoping to die, when I happened to look up and saw a sign as big as my hopes were small. This sign read: "'We Are Not Daylight Robbers. Trunks! Trunks! From the Battery to the Harlem Bridge to Your Room For 25 Cents.' "If that sign was not the irony of fate in my case, I do not know what to call It" "Oh, that's a small affair alongside of my experience," said Smith. "It is only a few years ago too. I had been unemployed for several months, and as I had six little shavers to take care of 1 did not have much trouble spending the little money I had saved. I didn't seem to have a friend in the wide world to turn to, and I spent my last copper for a paper to examine the employment col- umn. It was about Christmas time, and I dreaded going back home to face the scolding landlord. I recall that I stopped in front of the Harlem office of a newspaper to see the holiday crowd go by, and as I did so 1 saw a sign that made my blood run cold. It said: "'There Is No Reason Why You Should Be Idle. Insert a Want Ad. Four Cents a Line.' "The pronoun was printed in Im- mense letters, and I had the greatest trouble dissuading myself that it was not intended for me, and me alone. Of course it wasn't, but that sign burn- ed Into my memory, and I have thought of it Innumerable times since." "Ob, pshaw!" rejoined the leading man after a pause. "I suppose it is im- possible to please everybody with pub- lic signs. I saw one in Buffalo once J�lieb said: 'Attention, blind men. Read this and be cured,' which referred to a new treatment for the blind. All signs cannot be expected to satisfy the ideas of everybody."—New York Mail and Express. THE MAN BEHIND THE PEN. And the Comment of the Man Who Received His Letter. I knew it was a mean letter when I wrote it, but afterward I concluded that I must have written a good deal meaner than I knew. I was counsel for a large manufacturing company. One of their customers, always an un- satisfactory man to deal with on ac- count of his constant fault finding and objections to paying his bills on vari- ous absurd pretexts, finally refused point blank to settle a hill for some $5,000 on the ground that the goods were not just as ordered. Tlfe com- pany then instructed me to write him the worst letter that I could iudite, threatening him with all possible pains and penalties, legal and otherwise, with good measure of abuse thrown in, since they had little hope that he would pay and less desire for his custom in the future. Accordingly I bent myself to the task. I hope I'm an honest man, but 1 can't help saying that -that letter was a stinger. 1 suspect that it was the meanest thing that ever went into a mall bag. A few days later a messenger from the manufacturing firm called and ask- ed me to step over to their place of business, as there was a man there who wished to meet me. I am about 5 feet 4 Inches, and my weight averages 110 pounds. When I reached the firm's place, I was ushered into the private office. The first thing I saw, and about the only thing visible, was a big man who must have weighed fully 300 pounds. "Mr. Blank," said the president, "this is Mr. Dash, who wrote you that let- ter." Mr. Blank arose, shutting off the light from two windows. For a full minute he stood looking down at me with open mouth and bulging eyes. Then he turned to the others and with' an expression of mingled astonishment and disgust on his face said: • • "Well,stnitten Caesar!

In laying aside a watch be sure that It rests upon its case. A watch should be wound up every day at the same hour. Avoid putting it on a marble slab or near anything excessively cold. If suspended, the action of the bal- ance may cause oscillation, which will Interfere with its going. A sudden change of temperature, con- tracting the metal. may sometimes cause the mainspring to break. The cold also coagulates the oil, and the pivots and whetsls work less freely and 'affect the regularity of the time- keeping. To keep your watch clean take care that the case fits closely and see that the watch pocket is kept free from fluff, which is so often given off by linings. Avoid sudden jars and falls, for even if it does not seem to affect It at the moment, a watch will resent rough handling by becoming gradually "out of order" without apparent cause. How Banana Trees Grow. It Is a peculiar fact that but one bunch of bananas grows on a tree. After the fruit has been cut the tree is then cut down to the ground, and from the stump another tree sprouts which bears another bunch the following year. The greatest trouble of farmers is to keep the farms clear of sprouts. They shoot up from the roots of the tree for a radius of ten feet and grow like weeds. As the fruit is cut from the trees It is placed on the backs of little pack donkeys and transported in this way to the coast. One donkey can carry from three to six bunches, according to the size of the bunches and the dis- tance from the coast. In the season at Baracoa there are more than 3,000 don- keys that stretch along in a line for miles, plodding toward the coast with their loads of bananas. - Don't Dine Alone. How many people dine alone? The restaurants all number solitary diners among their regular clientage. How many thousands of people, men or wo- men, will eat a lone dinner or supper tonight in the cities and towns and hamlets of Christendom? The evil of eating alone is the subject of an ear- nest although cheerful warning from the London Lancet. The hygienic val- ue of gregarious dining is insisted up- on. The necessity of taking food in social fashion is an inherent racial sort of thing, and those who go against it for years usually have to pay for It with some of the ills of indigestion. Breakfasting alone is not bad for a busy generation, but dining alone Is not a habit to be long continued, in civ- ilization or out of it, without disastrous results. Injurious Dyed In Sweets. Mr. Alfred Stokes, F. I. C., the public analyst for the parish of St. Luke's, England, has made a report to the ves- try upon the use of injurious aniline dyes for coloring sweets. Mr. Stokes has recommended that the manufactur- ers of sweets found to be thus colored should be cautioned against the use of these dyes, as the use of sweets so pre pared Is likely to be injurious to chil- dren and persons with delicate powers of digestion.—Popular Science. Agoraphobia. Builders, with their stone and mor- tar, brick and lime, water and sand, have left little puddles on a stretch of upper Broaslway. An Irregular string of pedestrians flung itself past the place, ignoring for the most part the slight inconvenience of stepping over the miniature lakes. But one man, when he was confronted with the situa- tion, started back with an exclamation of vexation and passed around the pools. "That chap has agoraphobia," said one of two men who had noted the movement. "Has what?" asked the other. "Agoraphobia. It means simply an abhorrence of open spaces, and it bas a great many victims. Specialists in this sort of nervousness say it takes various forms, some of its subjects having an Insurmountable dread of crossing from one side of the street to the other, while others have a dis- inclination to go more than a few blocks from their home. "Some dread to step across a puddle Of water, like the man we just saw. Others dread descending into a well beyond a certain depth, and still oth- ers have a fear of getting typo high in a building or an elevator. As a rule, these persons are acutely intellectual, so it is no mental disgrace to be a vic- tim of agoraphobia, simply a misfor- tune that is commoner than most per- sons suppose."—New York Telegram. am. A Celebrated Roman Eater. Touching the matter of eating, the stories told by the old chroniclers and historians of the abnormal appetites of certain Roman and oriental men of note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells of Soliman, a caliph in the eighth cen- tury, who died of indigestion in his camp near Chalcis, in Syria, just as he was about to lead an army of Arabs against Constantinople. He had emp- tied two baskets of eggs and figs, which he swallowed alternately, and the repast was finished with marrow and sugar. In a pilgrimage to Mecca the same caliph had eaten with impu- nity at a single meal 70 pomegranates, a kid, 6 fowls and a huge quantity of the grapes of Tayef. Such a statement would defy belief were not others of a similar character well avouched. Louis XIV could hard- ly boast of an appetite as ravenous as Soliman's, but he would eat at a sitting four platefuls of different soups, a whole pheasant, a partridge, a plateful of salad, mutton hashed with garlic, two good sized slices of ham, a dish of pastry and finish with fruit and sweet- meats. Fnitilling the Wishes of the Dead. Old Lord Forgien, the Scotch judge, died in 1727. Dr. Clerk, who attended his lordship to the last, calling on his patient the day he died, was admitted by the judge's old servant and clerk, David Reed. "How does my lord do?" inquired the doctor. "I houp he's weei," responded the old man, whose voice and manner at once explained his meaning. With tears streaming down his face he conducted Dr. Clerk into a room where there were two dozen bot- tles of wine underneath the table. Other gentlemen presently arrived, and, having partaken of a glass or two of wine while they listened to David's account of his master's last hours, they all rose to depart. "No, no, gentlemen; not so," said the old factotum. "It was the expressed wish of the deceased that I should fill ye a' fou, and I maun fulfill the will o' the dead." Dr. Clerk used to add when relating the story, "And Indeed he did fulfill the will o' the dead, for before the end o't there was na ane of us able to bite his ain thoomb!" Jupiter and Ten. A very ignorant and wealthy woman who was fond of talking about her "art gallery" one day met at the house of an acquaintance a lady who had not called on her, although they lived in the same town. "Come and see me, do," said Mrs. B., the patron of art, as the other lady was taking her leave. "Thank you very much," was the noncommittal reply. "We've got a new picture too. That, ought to tempt you to come, if I can't." "I should be very glad indeed to see It" "Such a lovely picture! Sometimes it seems to me I could look at it all day long." "What is the subject of your picture, Mrs. B.?' inquired the hostess. "Jupiter and Ten," was the reply. -It was "Jupiter and Io." Poison In Binger Nails.

In the great campaign of 1S6Othey tried the same tactics, which had prov- ed so successful, to disparage Mr. Lin- coln. He had served but a single to*n, in congress, while Senator Douglas had for many years enjoyed a national rep- utation. This point was urged in a heated dis- cussion overheard between an ardent supporter of Senator Douglas and a German voter who favored Mr. Lin- coln. The former finally thought to overwhelm his opponent by saying: "Who is this Lincoln, anyhow? No- body ever heard of him until Senator Douglas brought hire Into notice by bolding joint debates with him. Sena- tor Douglas. on the other hand. Is a great statesman. Why, he has had his eye on the presidential chair for the last ten years." "Vot is dot you say?" was the reply.

Recently Marie Friedl and Felix Iiopstein, aged 15 and 13 years respectively, were walking along a street in the Austrian capital when they came across an old woman staggering along under the weight of a heavy package. Moved by pity. they offered to carry it for the old woman, a proposition to which she readily ac- ceded. The kind hearted children had not gone far before they were arrested by a policeman for carrying parcels without a license. The children, were taken to a police station, where the of- ficer In charge lectured them upon the enormity of their offense. They were kept under' arrest for six hours and then released with a warning. It seems that there is a corps of "messengers" in Vienna to which a municipal statute grants the exclusive right of "carrying" inside the city. The bay and girl had violated the law by carrying the old woman's burden, and under such an Interpretation of the statute a man who carries a package for a woman with whom he is walking may be "run in" by the first policeman who sees him. The Way the Boy Put it. Different sermons may be preached from the same text, and there may be more or less of truth in each of them. "Here is an account." said Mr. Morse, pointing to a paragraph in the evening paper, "of the way In which a boy was saved from drowning by a mastiff which belonged to his cousin. The boy ventured too near the edge of a treach- erous bank, lost his footing and fell into the lake. The dog dashed In after him and succeeded in pulling him out." "There," said Mrs. Morse, turning an accusing glance upon her 10 -year-old son, "that shows how dangerous it is for a boy to go too near the water!" "Why, mother," said the boy In sor- rowful astonishment, "I thought father read it because it showed bow perfect- ly safe I'd be wherever I went if you'd only let him buy me a big dog!" Mr. Morse coughed and became dis- creetly absorbed in the quotations of mining stocks. Too Much. "You say you think your boy has too great an appetite?" said the physician to an anxious mother. "Do you realize how much a growing boy can eat?" "I should think I ought to if any- body does." returned the boy's parent. "I'll just put the case to you, doctor. "Where we were, up in the menu - tains, the waltreps would come in and say to my boy, 'We have fried fish, steak, liver and bacon, baked and fried potatoes, rye biscuit, muffins and' dry toast' "And that boy Ned would "say, 'I'll take it all, please—and some eggs."'— Exchange.

"The amount was a trifling one, and I did send him a foreign money order. I have since learned from experienced travelers that I had been made the victim of a systt uratic form of robbery and that scarcely a cablegram Is sent from the other side unless it is of a business nature that is not followed by some such plea from the European operator." Hold the Fort. In October, 1864, Aliatoona pass, a defile in the mountains of Georgia, was guarded by General Corse, with 1,500 men. It was a strong, strategic point, and, moreover, '1,500,000 rations were stored there. Fresich, the southern general, with 6,000 men, attacked the garrison and drove the defenders into a small fort on the crest of the hill. The battle was fierce. The northern soldiers fell in such numbers that fur- ther fighting seemed folly. But one of Corse's officers caught sight of a white signal flag fluttering in the breeze on the top of the Iiene- saw mountain, across the valley, 15 miles away. The signal was answered, and then came the inspiring message from mountain to mountain: "Hold the fort. I am coming,—W. T. Sher- man." Cheer after cheer went up, and, though hopelessly reduced In numbers. they did hold the fort for hours until the advance guard of Sherman's army came to their relief. Six years later P. P.

The Eteets of Ammonia. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly the opposite to that of arsenic.

With peo- ple who take ammonia into their sys- tems in smaller doses, as with their water or food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon.

W. Goodwin, Retiring Harvard Professor, it a Dinner In His Honor. Dollars In Odd Shapes. 'Under the law a silver dollar may be a grain and a half over weight fir a grain and a half under weight, and this "limit of tolerance" applies to all of our silver coins. In other words, they are not allowed to vary more than that much from standard. In the case of goldpieces, the limit is half a grain either way up to the eagle, a variation of as much as one grain being permissi- ble in the $10 and $20 pieces. - Whenever a fresh batch of dollars is turned out at the mint, samples are forwarded to the treasury at Washing- ton, where they are put through a very curious process. Each dollar is first weighed on exquisitely delicate scales to make sure that it is heavy enough and yet not too heavy. Then it is pass- ed between two steel rollers again and again until it is flattened out and transformed into a thin stri f silver— a sort of ribbon—a foot and a if in length. Then it is put beneath a 1 tle machine provided with several small punches, by which hundreds of tiny disks are punched out of the metal strip. Now, the object of this performance is to obtain samples of metal from all parts of the dollar, inasmuch as it is conceivable that one portion might be richer in silver than another. The little disks are shuffled together, and a few of them, taken at random from the lot, are subjected to an assay. Thus the fineness of the material of the dollar is ascertained with absolute accuracy and, the weight having been already determined, the value and correctness of that coin are perfectly known. The sample pieces having been found correct, it is inferred that the entire batch of dollars is all right.—Saturday Evening Post. Natural Waters. All natural waters contain a greater or less amount of mineral matter in so- lution. Rain water has the smallest percentage of solid impurities of any, and therefore it is taken as the stand- ard variety of soft water. The terms soft and hard, however, as applied to water are scientifically considered purely relative. Water is usually reckoned to be "soft" when it contains less than one five -thousandth part of Its weight of mineral ingredients and "hard" when it contains more than one four -thou- sandth. Soft water has the property of easily forming a father with soap and is therefore suitable for washing pur- poses, while hard water will only form a lather, and that imperfectly, with considerable diffienity. A mineral water has more than one two -thousandth of its weight of nat- ural dissolved solids, and a medicinal water Is a variety of mineral water containing a varying percentage of dis- solved natural solid or gaseous drugs.

An Important Decision Rendered. Judge F. M. Crosby has rendered an important decision regarding the non-payment of fees to police officers and constables for services performed yin a prosecution in the name of the state. The decision is based on an - appeal taken in the case of T. S. Kennedy. chief of police of South St. Paul, vs. the Board of County Commissioners of Dakota County. The note filed is as follows: The question in this case involves the construction of Chapter 183 of the Laws of 1901. which provides "That no police officer of any city in this state shall here- after'receive or be paid any sum as fees in any suit or prosecution brought in the name of the State of Minnesota." The luuiui ge of this chaps.'r is com- prehensive and expressive. Courts must hold in construing it that the legislature iutended what it hasexpressed. Unless expressly authorized by the law so to do a police officer cannot serve a criminal process issued for the violation of a state law. An individual may hold the office of policeman ay -d constable and of police- man and deputy sheriff. He can serve warrants or arrest for the violation of city ord nances. There are state laws for the punish- ment of vagrants and inebriates. Nearly all of the cities in this state, if not -all. provide for the punishment of those offenses by ordirauces. A police- officer is ordinarily paid a salary, for Itis entire services. by the city of which he is an officer, and the city is entitled W his entire service. If a police officer is also a constable he may be tempt -ed on account of the fees tit arrest and prosecute under the state law instead of under the city ordinance. Before the enactment of Chapter 183 if he proceeded under the state law he would have been entitled to fees. but if he proceeded under the city ordinance he would not be. Under the law as it was abuses were liable to grow up. and may have existed front the temptation to .act as constable and arrest and prosecute under the state when he might as well have arrested and prosecuted under the city ordinance. - In the one case he would receive fees and in the other he would not. The legislature probably thought it wise that every city should hear the ex_ pens, of caring for its own vagrants and inebriates'and intended that they should do so when it enacted Chapter 153, and to correct. abuses. if any existed. under the law as it was. The 'plaintiff was a constable and a police officer and performed the services charged for as a constable in a prosecution in the name of the Mate of Minnesota. He is not entitle to anv compensation therefor. That Button Factory. The pearl button factory project proposed by W. F.

An- other gentleman interested in the matter is a Mr. Willis, owner of fac- tories at different points along the river, and who has been in the city - looking over the clamming business here.

The hushed deep of my heart Hath the sun's gold; The dew slumbers till noon In my petals' hold. Beauty I have, and wisdom And love I know, Yet cannot release my spirit Of its strange woe." Then a wind older than Time, Wiser than Sleep, Answered: "The whole world's sorrow Is yours to keep. Its dark descends upon you At day's high noon;, Its pallor is whitening about you Froni every moon. The cries of a thousand lovers, A thousand slain, The tears of all the forgotten Who kissed in vain, And the journeying years that have vanished Have left on you The witness, each of its pain, Ancient, yet new. So many lives you have lived; So many a• star Hath veered in the signs to make you The wonder you are! And this is the price of your beauty: Your wild soul is thronged With the phantoms of joy unfulfilled That beauty bath wronged, With the pangs of all secret betrayals, The ghosts of desire, The bite of old flame and the chill Of the ashes of fire." —Charles G.

O OVoVoYoYoyooyoyoyoyo♦ The brazen blare of trumpets and heavy thump of the drum, with and then the shrill whinny of a cur ting horse or the deep roar of a 1 indicated that the mighty show wa full swing. In the rear of the great margt their dark humps standing out agal the background of the starlit sky, st a score or more of caravans, the hot day and night, week in and week o year after year, whether Jolting a rumbling over heavy roads or back tip, as at present, upon a miasma meadow, of all that curious, peripate crowd known throughout the len and breadth of the land as Rodwe Amalgamation. Two girls, their shapely, spangl figures enveloped in besmirched a travel worn cioas, sat upon the ste of one of these movable hosnestea talking in hurried undertones. "He has already spoken, then?" as ed the elder girl. "I did not think Sllolildn't—I—what am I saying? was very sudden." "In the end It was, perhaps," sa the younger, "but it seems he had lov me a long time, and—well, Kitty, I c say it to you—the world has only he one man since I met him. But yo don't seem pleased, Bitty. You're n angry with time? Aren't you going congratulate ale, sis?" "Of course: I was only thinking— Bi never mind what I thought." She kis ed her sister hurriedly. "May you be ever so happy, dear she said: "Why, your face is all wet, Ki You're—you're not crying?" "No, no," returned her sister liu riedly, with a forced, hysterical laugl "Why should I? Only"— "You thought I was going to ru away and leave you, and you woul lose a sister and a partner in one, eh I thought of that before, and so It' stipulated that we're not to marry fo a year and even then that you and are to work our turns just the same a usual. It won't make n bit of differ ence. But there goes Fritz's revolver We had better get inside." Professor Fritz Mellin had conclude his bout with tbe lions and was bowin in acknowledgment of the plaudit when the girls entered. He had on turn more before the sisters, Kitty and Lillie Lansom, essayed their "marvel ous aerial flights and high wire feat.' Meilin's great turn was the famous rencontre with Vixen, an Indian tigress that had had her first taste of human blood and was generally expected to be watching a convenient opportunity for her second. "Oh, how I hate that brute!" said Lillie as the professor lithely skipped up the steps of the cage and, with a half bow to the audience, passed through the bars. Vixen bounded angrily toward him, but the tamer's eye was upon her, and it was not even necessary to threaten with the -loaded thong he carried. Round and round the cage, snarling her discontent at being disturbed, Vix- en careered, her slackening steps ever and anon being quickened by the sharp crack of the whip. Then over hurdles and again under barriers which requir- ed all the animal's crouching powers to negotiate. Finally, a flaming hoop was passed into the cafe, the professor, holding it in his left hand, flicked and cracked the huge cat through and through and round and round until the animal seemed half dazed and ex- hausted. The mastery was complete. Vixen's. surliness,availed nothing with Fritz Melliu. Whatever her record else- where, here in Rodwell's circus, under the "Prince of Tamers," Vixen had no other course but to behave herself std obey. The people were frantic with admin.- tion and delight. They cheered and counter cheered in ringing tones as Fritz, leaving the cage, bowed repeat- edly from the top of the steps. Then came the aerial flight, and in the hairbreadth adventures above their heads the people forgot the man eating tigress and her daring master. Kitty, however, high up, flitting from trapeze to trapeze, could not banish Liliie's love affair from her mind. Five years before Fritz Mellin had put to her the same question he had now pro- posed to her sister. She had loved him then with htr whole heart, as she loved him still, all rsbeWould never cease from loving him, yet she declined his offer. She remem- bered even now the look of mingled disappointment and anger upon his face when she gently but firmly told him so.

"Five years work many chan Fritz, and I would not have you bo But come to me then, and you k now what my answer will be." Five years had worked chan When they met at length and the ters were starring together, Kitty changed. Hard work and anxiety told their tale.

The True Poker Flat, In 1852 Poker Flt produced $700,000 In gold bullion in a single month and celebrated the event with a triple hang- ing. Then came the public spasm of virtue which caused the John Oak - bursts and the "outcasts of Poker Flat" to depart from thence and die of cold and starvation on the snow bound road to Sandy Bar. There are no "Oak - bursts" nor "Uncle BiIlys" 111 Poker Flat today, and when the stranger makes the slow descent and suddenly by a sharp turn in the trail comes upon the famous camp he finds in that hud- dle of cabins little to remind him of the Poker Flat of 1852. The famous slope presents almost n picture of utter ruin. There are but eight persons living in the old town, while a hundred dead ones sleep In the cemetery. Some of the graves are marked wish wooden headboards, some with stakes, but many have nothing above them. Neatly all of therm were laid to rest without religious rites save a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond. who, though a professional gambler, was selected' for the religious office owing to his excellent voice and ora- torical ability. In 1853 and 1854 there were 2.0011 souls in Poker Flat and 15 stores, 5 ho- tels, 3 dance halls and 7 gambling houses. There is but one man left to- day of that original company.

Tenn., welcomed a band of young men who, though they were veterans of hard fought fields, were for the most part no older than the mass of college students. In the general poverty, the exhaustion, the lack of heart, naturally prevalent throughout the beaten south, young mer had more leisure than was good for thein. A southern country town, even in the halcyon days before the war, was not a particularly lively place, and Pulaski in 1806 was doubtless rather tame to fellows who had seen Pickett charge at Gettysburg or galloped over the country with Morgan and Wheeler. A group of them assembled in a law office one evening in May, 1866, were discuss - ng trays and means of having a live - ter time. Some one suggested a club r society. An organization with no very definite alms was effected, and at second meeting. a week later, names were proposed and discussed. Some ne pronounced the Greek word kuklos, neaning circle. From kukios to kuklux was an easy ransition—whoever consults a glossary f college boys' slang will not find it 'ange—and klan followed kuklux as tut'ally as "dumpty" follows "hump- " That the name meant nothing tatever was a recommendation, and e can faucy what sort of badinage uld have followed a suggestion that six years a committee of congress uld devote 13 volumes to the history the movement that began in a Psi- ki law office and migrated later to a serted and half ruined house on the tskirts of the village. — Atlantic nthly.

At Salton, in southern California, ex fists n basin of last! between 200 and 200 feet below sea level. About 1.000 acres of the depressed area are cov- ered with a deposit of salt, which C. F. Holden describes in The Scientific American as one of the sights of Cali- fornia. The salt is first thrown into ridges by a peculiarly shaped plow, drawn by a dummy engine with ca- bles, and then is piled into conical heaps before being carried to the dry- ing house and crushing mill. The ex- panse looks like a field of snow. About 2,000 tons of salt are removed each year, but the supply is perennially re- newed by the deposits of salt springs which flow into the basin. In June the temperature of the air reaches 150 de- grees, and only Indian workmen can withstand the beat and glare. Tiger's Make Believe Eyes, Mr. Beddard of tbe Loudon Zoologi- cal society calls attentioq to a pecul- iarity of the ears of tigers which he thinks may be classed under the head of "protective markings." On the back of,eaelt ear is a very bright white spot, and when the ears are directed for- ward these. spots are conspicuous from the front. Mr. Beddard suggests that when the tiger is sleeping in the dim light of a cave or thicket the spots ou its ears May appear to an enemy, look- ing la, as the gleam of its watchful eyes, and thus save the sleeper from an unexpected attack. Novel Use For Beet Roots, The London Standard has been advo- cating the manufacture of beer from beet roots.

For a singer to succeed it is necessa- ry that he should have more than a voice or be a vocalist. Wagner has set a higher standar*. and to him we owe it. Not only the cultivation of the voice, but the higher education is nec- essary. The voice alone is not suffi- cient, even in the concert room. Sing- ing has grown to be quite another art. The singer must be an impersonator. I myself studied for five years at the university. But that, as a rule, holds one too long. But at least a good gen- eral knowledge of literature and of sci- ence is necessary. The day Is past when a fiacre driver, because be has a beautiful voice, is ac- cepted as a singer; so also is the day when. a concert in costume is regarded aa an opera. The standard of imper- sonation has been immeasurably raised by Wagner. History, literature, knowl- edge of the plastic arts, are all neces- sary to the singer. American women have, many of them, beautiful voices. Again, many of them go abroad to study. That is a mistake. It is at home that they should lay the foundation. Build by degrees. Do not sin] to be a star, but a good art- ist. Study always, be content with small roles. The rest will come of it- self.—Ernest Van Dyck in Saturday Evening Post. Sold at Last. A traveling man who is absent from the city about 60 days on each trip carried a pair of shoes to a Getman shoemaker to be half soled before leav- ing on a tour through the country towns. The shoemaker was accustom- ed to selling urticles left with him for repairs if not called for in 30 days. Tile drummer stated to the shoemaker he would be absent from the city for at least 60 days and would not leave the shoes to be repaired unless he was assured that they would not be sold. The traveler's trip was prolonged to .90 days. When he returned, he went Immediately to the shoemaker for hie shoes. The shoemaker's inability to distin- guish between have and half came near resulting in his receiving a thrash- ing. "Have you sold my shoes?" asked the drummer. "Ya, I haf soled them, replied the shoemaker. "What in blazes did you do that for?" yelled the traveler. "You told me for to do it."

There is no doubt but the form of a roof has much to do with the draft of a chimney. The flat root offers uo resist- ance to the passage of air, but as the pitch is increased the current is more and more disturbed until with a high pitched and many gabled root it is bro- ken into innumerable eddies, some of which are sure to curl down and force the smoke and gases in the flue into the rooms below. Chimneys on such roofs should be built higher than ordinary. Bunching the Hits. Case and Comment tells a story of an Illinois attorney who argued to the court one after another of a series of very weak points, none of which seem- ed to the court to have any merit until the court finally said, "Mr. —, do you think there is anything in these points?' To which the attorney re- plied, "Well, judge, perhaps there isn't much in any one of them alone, but I didn't know but your honor would kind of bunch them." Touched a Sore Spot.

Case,B of Queer Revenge. In England. 'where men have more time for everything, including revenge, some queer methods of playing even have come Into the courts. Albert Bewdley of Leeds had a dog that howled at night. A naturalist next door did not flke it, but had no legal recourse. One day ants of the minute red vari- ety began -to overrun Bewdley's house. Nothing that could be done headed them off. They grew worse and worse. He had made up his mind to break his lease and move when one night he heard a noise in his dining room. Slip- ping down, he found the naturalist emptying a bag of ants on the floor. In court the naturalist paid damages, but he did it smilingly. Rowley, the late English violinist, was hard to beat on his perseverance against one who had incurred his 111 will. Rowley had a quarrel with a horse dealer named Brant. It was a trivial matter, but Rowley took the net house to Brant, set up a piano, bought a cor- net and proceeded to make insomnia for Brant. After one or two assault cases in court Brant moved. Rowley bought out the next door neighbor and follow- ed with piano and cornet. Brant went to law, but found he could do nothing. Failing, he took a detached house. Then Rowley hired brass bands and organs and assailed him. This was actionable, and Rowley paid 11,000 for his revenge. —Chicago Tribune. The Golfer's Pun. At a recent auction sale one of the paintings had for a subject a gayly at- tired golf girl making a long drive. The bidding on this opened very brisk—$60. $65, $70 send finally $72. "Seventy-two, two, two, two!" cried the auctioneer. "Fore!" shouted some one in the rear. With the exception of the golfer in the front row, who immediately "duck- ed," the joke passed unnoticed. "Four," repeated the auctioneer. "Do I hear five?" He did rot hear "five," and a cold sweat broke out on the brow of the last bidder as now, for the first time, the possibility of having to buy that picture occurred to him. Seventy-four dollars for snaking a pun! He made a solemn vow then and there that lie would never attempt another as with a sickly grin he thought of unpaid bills. The attendant was standing at his el- bow; the auctioneer had raised his hammer. "One—two—th"— "Five!" The ordeal was past. The auction proceeded, with the crowd unaware that the punster had received proper punishment. For the benefit of those who do not play golf a diagram of the pun is fur- nished.

As to our mannerisms, says a writer In the Baltimore Sun, at first they are accidents, and afterward they become habits. It is singular how easy It is to convince a credulous public that a misfortune is a gift, just as an eccen- tricity is a mark of genius. Your correspondent knows a lady who was asked in marriage by several gentle- men (for where one pastures other's will follow), although she was neither beautiful nor clever nor rich, but because she was affected with a trem- bling of the lids. In her inmost heart she who addresses you believes the trembling began with nervousness, but it was universal, and after a little what was curious beganito be regarded as fascinating. At any rate I know a well established, portly lady, married to a man who secured her, not without difficulty, whose only sorrow is the necessity of keeping up the girlish habit which procured her a spouse. He is not a sentimentalist, but be wants what he paid for. He married her because her eyelids trembled, and not Unnaturally he wishes to be possessed of the same treasure.. Not Entirely Alone.

HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. JULY 6, 1901 TELLTALE PICTURES. PAINTINGS THAT HAVE DONE THE WORK OF DETECTIVES. instances Where the Canvas of Artist Has Led to the Confession a Criminal—A Portrait and a Stol Diamond Pendant. An artist who had suddenly beco almost famous by his production of painting exhibited at the Royal aca emy was one day called upon by man whose visit was productive of t most extraordinary and undreamt consequences. The picture represented a lone stretch of beach, upon which the s was beating In long, creamy rollers. the foreground, bending over a de body, was a than with a wild expre sion on his face and with a teak knife in his band. A ship's boat, en dently just beached, was also in t1 picture. and by the side of the ttbu dered man was a bag of gold. The pi ture portrayed the advent of two vas aways upon n friendly shore. The on had murdered the other so that ti treasure might be his. The painter's visitor was a gray hal ed, wild eyed man. "In heaven's name, sir," he gaspe out, "how did you learn the dreadf story that you painted? I see you kno all. I murdered my mate Bill to g the money that was his. 1 threw b body into the sea. I don't know wh Impulse led me to the Academy. Th first thing I saw was your picture rej resenting the scene that took place 3 years ago." Needless to say, the picture had be the outcome of imagination. Yet tout der will out, and the guilty consciene of the man who bad killed his comrad for lust of gold had convinced him tha the painting was no coincidence. bu was indeed the actual portrayal of dastardly and unwitnessed crime. There is probably no picture bette known in England than "The Doctor, by Mr. Luke Slides, yet there are prod ably very few people aware of the fac that that selfsame masterpiece wa the means of bringing to light the per petration of a crime that would other wise never have been known. A certain doctor in n large town corn ntitted suicide, and among his paper was a letter which ran as follows: " have today seen Luke Fildes' •Doctor. The picture represents a medical r watching by the bedside of a child. has so haunted me that I am going t take sway my own worthless life an make a confession at the same time Whsgi Arthur's"—his br'other's—"boy died, 1 came into money that my dew brother had settled on him.

I has- tened the boy's end and so got the money. I can bear it no more." A well known artist was commission- ed to paint the portrait of a lady in ex- alted circles, who boasted the posses- sion of a most unique jewel in the form of a pendant. The lady was very anxious that this heirloom should e included in her portraitThe artist, of course. complied with her request. Shortly after the painting had been completed a daring burglary was per- petrated, with the result that the lady lost her heirloom, and no trace of the tbief or thieves was. forthcoming. Years passed by, and the lady gave up all hope of ever seeing the precious heirloom again. Now. it so happened that the artist who had painted the portrait of the lady mentioned had occasion to travel in India. In the course of bis wanderings he came to Bombay and, as every visitor to that place does, strolled through the native bazaar. Suddenly hit attention was riveted by a piece of jewelry in a jeweler's shop that seemed familiar to him. It was a diamond and ruby pendant.m Where bad he seen it before? He ran- sacked his brain, but could not reme- ber. He returned to his hotel and hap- pened to take from his portfolio a sketch of the portrait he bad made years ago of the lady with the pendant. In a moment the enigma was solved. The piece of jewelry he had seen was the peculiar pendant that his fair sitter had been so anxious be should include in his portrait. He hurried off to the chief of police, and told that worthy what be suspect- ed, namely, that the bazaar he had vis- ited contained the long lost jewel of the English lady. Inquiries were at once set on foot with extraordinary re- sults. The jeweler in the bazaar con- fessed to having given years ago a quite insignificant sum for the jewel, which be bad bought from a stableman in the employ of a neighboring rajah. The stableman was sought for, and turned out to be none other than a fa- mous English cracksman, who had ap- parently turned honest, but who, nevertheless, confessed to having been the thief of the jewel that bad been so miraculously discovered.—Pearson's Weekly. an of en me a d- a he of ly ea In ad B- ed �1- te r- c- t - e ne 1'- d ul 'v et Is to rn t e a r t s s I• 0 d d d n s All Her Fault.

The great point in pipe smoking 1s to learn to smoke slowly. When this bats it is acquired, the full flavor of the to- bacco will always be enjoyed, every smoke will be a cool one, and tongue burning will be unknown. It is, how- ever, very hard for nervous people to smoke slowly. We know of cases where smokers bave tried for a score of years to check their smoking speed without success. They probably did not begin to make the effort early enough in their smoking careers. With good tobacco and a root pipe the slow smoker at- tains a degree of pleasurable enjoy- ment In smoking of which the rapid smoker has not an inkling. Perhaps all smokers do ndt know that it makes no difference In the flavor of pipe tobacco how many times a pipe goes out. A cigar which is allowed to go out once has Its flavor ruined and ig. most appreciably termed a butt. A pipe, however, tastes, if anything, bet- ter for going out. Fastidious smokers always have at. least two pipes.at hand and never fill one until it bas entirely cooled off. This is a help toward cool smoking and reasonable life in a pipe. A good test by which to tell if you are smok- ing too fast is to hold the bowl in your hand. If it is too hot to do so, then you may know your speedls too great. —Exchange. The Slav and Woman. Abhorrent even to the strongest "Slavopbile" is the position occupied by woman in the family and in social Iife. To escape the charge of prejudice I shall quote a few proverbs current among the southern Slays—a few out of many hundreds: The man is the head; the woman is grass. One man is worth more than ten women. A man of straw is worth more than a womantof gold. Let the dog bark, but let the woman keep si- lent. He who does not beat his wife is no man. "What shall I get when I marry?" asks a boy of his Lather. "For your wife a stick; for your children a switch." Twice in his life is.a man happy—once when he marries and once whets he buries his wife. And the woman;sings, in the Russian folksong which Ihave freely trans- lated, Love me true and*love me quick, Pull my bair and ruse the stick. Although there are love songs of an- other kind, in which; woman is praised for her charms, she;becomes virtually a slave as soon as she marries, and the tittle poetry of the folksong does not ompany her even to the marriage altar. She is valued only for the work she can do in a household and for the children she can bear, and should this latter blessing be denied` her her lot becomes doubly;pitiable, and she often seeks release by suicide.—Outlook. Naming the White House. Why is the president's mansion at Washington called the White House? It has been so called for years and years, andnow no one thinks of using any other naune, although "executive mansion" is : the official term. The name White lHouse is a reminder of the second war with England. Aug. 24, 1814, the British army captured Washington and burned the ptlblic buildings, the president's mansion be- ing among those to suffer.' It was damaged to some'extent, and to hide the fire stains it ;was painted ,white, and white it has *been painted every year or two since. The home of Washington's mother was called the "white house," and this may have suggested thename, but the fact that the mansion was so assidu- ously painted white after the war of 1812 doubtless brought the iterm into popular use.

To be honest, to be kind. to earn a little and to spend less, to make, upon the whole, a family happier by his presence, to renounce where that shall be necessary and not, to be imbittered, to keep a few friends. but these with- out capitulation; above all, on the same grim conditions to keep friends with himself—here Is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicaey.— Rubert Louis ;Stevenson. It Rained Copper. The cadets of Annapolis sat in the side aisles of the chapel, leaving the center aisles for the officers and their families, says Dr. Cyrus Townsend Brady in "Under Tops'Is and Tents." When the offering was received, the two boys charged with the duty of passing the plates did not make the slightest effort to circulate them among the cadets, for we never had any mon- ey. Tbey would walk rapidly down the aisle and then come deliberately up the middle, gathering thence what they could. One Sunday the chaplain an- nounced that he would preach a mis- sionary sermon the next Sunday. It did not have the ordinary effect in emptying the church, for we were obliged to go as usual. During the week it occurred to the bright mind of a senior, or first class man, who is uow a prp minent New York financier, that it Aould be well for the cadets to make an offering. So he sent out to the bank on Saturday morning and succeeded in smuggling in over 300 copper cents, which he dis- tributed 1 cent per boy to the Epis- copal battalion. We stationed a strong, long armed man on the outside seat of the first pew in each aisle. The chaplain made a piteous appeal for pennies even, and when the aston- ished cadets who passed the plates started on their perfunctory promenade the strong, one armed men aforesaid promptly relieved them of the metal plates, and each one dropped in one copper cent with an ominous crash and then deliberately handed the plate to the next boy, who did the same thing. It rained copper cents for about ten minutes. The chaplain was dread- fully disconcerted, the officers fidgeted and looked agbast. Some of them laughed, and the cadets preserved a deadly solemnity. The affair was a striking success. A Pigeon as Valet to a Crow. "Tom was the name given to a lordly young crow," says Florence M. Kings- ley in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Beauty was a snow white pigeon of about the crow's age, with whom he was reared. Just how it came about we never knew, but we soon discovered that Beauty regularly acted as maid of all work to Tom. She fetched and car- ried morsels of food at his imperious command, and one of her unvarying duties was the preening of her mas- ter's feathers. Tom was very much of a dandy. His coal black plumage al- ways appeared perfectly dressed and shining, but the arduous labor of his toilet was performed for him twice every day by the bumble and affection- ate pigeon. "Our fine gentleman would come in from a roll in the dust or a dip in the fountain and, seating himself upon a certain railing. utter a short, sharp call. Instantly Beauty would descend to his side and begin her task, fluttering anx- iously from side to side as she worked, drawing each shining black feather carefully out to its full length in her pink bill, Tom meanwhile dozing luxu- riously, with closed eyes. after the manner of the complacent patron of a skillful barber. If Beauty unfortunate- ly pulled a feather too hard. a squawk and a sudden peck informed her of her mistake." His Spelling System. Dobbs met his friend Turner in the tram. Tbey were both going to Bir- mingham and stopped at the same ho- tel. Turner registered bis name "E. K. Phtboiognyrrh." Dobbs, noticing it, exclaimed, "Here, what are you using such a foreign, out- landish name for?" "I am not assuming any foreign name," replied Turner. "What kind of a name is it. then?" "That is my identical old name, and it is English too—pronounced 'Tur- ner.' " "I can't see bow you make 'Turner' out of those 13 letters; besides, what is your object in spelling that way?" asked Dobbs. "Well, you see, nobody ever noticed my name on the register when I wrote it 'Turner,"' the latter explained, "but since I commenced writing it •Phtholo- gynrrb' I set them all guessing.

In the last act he had arranged that Falstaff, disconcert- ed by gibes and buffets of the fairies in Windsor forest, should make one herculean effort to climb the oak tree. The pegs that were to serve as sup- ports for that tree were always con- spicuous by their absence. On the morning before the performance Mr. Tree was told they should positively be fixed on the tree. The morning came, but with it no pegs. Eloquence was stifled; even invective faltered. He pointed to the tree and with the calm of despair blurted out to the defaulter, "No pegs!" Such an ejaculation, spoken more in sorrow than in anger. would, he boped, appeal to that last remnant of con- science which even the papier mache bosom of a property man might be sup- posed to retain. Li the evening there was a dress rehearsal, but still no pegs could be seen. Mr. Tree's form quiv- ered—beneath the padding—with pent up emotions, and In a torrent of pas- sion and a voice shaken by righteous wrath be exclaimed: "Where are those pegs?" "Pegs—pegs!" exclaimed the property master, with exasperating affability. "Why, guv'nor, what was your words to me this morning? `No pegs.' And there ain't none.'"—London Tit -Bits. Howells' Advtee to Writers. One day at Lakewood while sitting at a little table in the big rotunda hall drinking afternoon tea I met ?Ir. W. D. Howells and had a delightful conversa- tion with him. After knowing the per- sonality of this famous author one en- joys his writing ten tithes more --he 1s so magnetic and his conversation so interesting and breezy. "Yes," he said, "I always advise any one who has an inclination for it to try to write. One shouldn't expect to have the first things' one does published, but one must keep on trying. it Is an excellent plan to set down something one has seen in everyday life and try to get a story out of it. Indeed, it's the best way to practice. "Writing is mostly drudgery," he continued. "1 have to force myself to go into my library to work, and 1 find myself putting off the hour as long as possible." "But . when you once sit down?" I ventured. "Even then It's hard work for awhile until 1 get into the swiug. Let no one imagine the muse comes without a summons and without a good deal of urging! At least she never does to mel"—Anna 'Wentworth in Woman's Home Companion. Set For the Wrong Time. He works in a down town office for a gruff old chap who has no love for laggards. He is due at 8 sharp, but as he likes to be out o' nights he never wakes up a moment too soon. He has a,n alarm clock, which he sets at 7, and this gives him barely time to dress, breakfast and reach the office. One day last week, the man having forgotten to wind his clock the night before, it didn't go off. So there were explanations to be made about 8:30 a. m. This was the excuse: "Well, you see, Mr. Gruff, I know how punctual you like all of your men to be, so I have an alarm clock, which I set for 7 in the morning. But, by mistake, I set it for 7 in the evening last night, and of course it didn't go off at 7 In the morning today, as usual. And I overslept myself." "Ah, you did? Well, I'll excuse you this time. But set it properly after this." And now the chap is wondering whether or not "the old man" was real- ly fooled or merely wanted to let him down easy. Perhaps he thinks the boss believes be has a 24 hour clock.— Kanaas City Journal. Bull Baiting. Although bull baiting was a cruel pastime, it was also a fulfilling of the law, for formerly no butcher was al- lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any bull that bad not been baited. The goading of the animal in a fury was supposed to have some influence on the flesh. In a similar belief the flesh of a hunted hare was thought to be superior in flavor to that of one that had been shot, and a resent of "a hunted hare" was considered to be a special compli- ment. In the records of the corpora- tion of Leicester, England, the follow- ing order appears: "At a common hall, held on Thursday before St. Simon and St. Jude, 1467, 'no butcher to kill a bull till baited.' - At Winchester it was or dered (thirtieth Henry VIII) "that from hensforth ther shal be no bulstake set before any mayor's dore to bayte any bull. but on11e at the bull-ringe within the saide cytie." The Perplexed Juror. A man was being tried in New South Wales for stealing a watch. The evi- dence was conflicting, and the jury made up their minds to retire, but be- fore they left the ball the judge re- marked that if there were any points on which they required information he would be pleased to assist them. Elev- en of the jurymen bad left the box, but the twelfth remained standing, with bis eyes fixed downward, as if absorbed in thought. "Well, sir," said the judge, "is there 'any question you would like to ask me before you retire?" "I would like to know, my lord," came the reply, "If you could tell us whether the prisoner stole the watch." There are so many poor gramma- rians that we wonder grammar is not more unuoDular.—Atchison Globe. AN OPTICAL ILLUSION. One of the Tricks Performed by the Fakirs of India. The fakirs of India perform some re- markable tricks. The following one was witnessed by an -Englishman who was himself an excellent prestidigi- tateur, The apartment being filled, the ma- gicians began their performance. The audience sat on the floor about the fakirs, so that they had no way of con- cealing themselves or of hiding any- thing. At their request I examined them and satisfied myself that they had nothing about them. Then one of the women stepped into the inclosure, the rest remaining behind the spec- tators, who formed a close ring about them. The light was now turned down a little, and in a moment the woman's face began to be illuminated by a ghostly light that extended quickly ever her entire body. She then began to move around and around, uttering' a low, murmuring sound the while, gradually quickening the pace until she was whirling about like a top. A moment of this, and the light that had clung about her seemed to be whirled off by centrifugal force and assumed n pillarlike form beside her. As soon as this was accomplish- ed she stopped, turned and began to mold the. light with her hand, and, though I could distinctly see her hands move through the light as if it were a cloud, it began ta assume human form. We saw the arms, hands and legs all molded and finally the face and head- gear. She next -called for a ligbt, and, the candles being relighted, there stood an utter stranger, a native seemingly, evolved out of eloudland. IIe stepped forward and grasped me by the hand. His hands were moist, as if with_per- spiration, and he was a very healthy spirit. After he bad talked rid drunk a glass of arrack he took his place beside the woman again and began to whirl about. The lights were dimmed, but not so that we could not see, and in a few minutes the figure began to fade, soon assuming the appearance of a pillar or form of light and then attach- ing itself to the woman and seemingly being absorbed by her. All this was done in a very short space of time be- fore the eyes of at least 50 people and not ten feet from myself. The girl ap- peared greatly exhausted afterward. CARE OF LACES. Iron lace on the right side first, then on the wrong side to throw up the pat- tern. 'Yellen putting lace away, fold aglittIe4 as possible. A good plan is to wind it round a card, as they do in the shops. When ironing laces, cover them with clean, white tissue ,paper. This pre- vents the shiny look seen on washed lace. Use cornflour instead of ordinary starch for stiffening laces. This makes them firm and does not detract from the lacy appearance: Laces and other delicate trifles should be placed in a muslin bag before being boiled. This prevents their getting lost and torn in the wash. After "getting up" laces do not leave them to air in a damp place—round the fire when the kettle is boiling, for instance. This robs them of their fresh- ness and makes them look limp. All laces before being ironed should be carefully pulled out, each point re- ceiving attention. You will be repaid for your trouble, as the lace will look twice as nice and last clean a much longer time. Too Suggestive. An English clergyman had married a young woman with a reputed dowry of about £10,000, while he himself had "great expectations." Needless to say, every soul in the village knew about it. It was the first Sunday after their re- turn from the honeymoon, and when the sermon was finished the parson proceeded, as usual, to give out the hymn, verse for verse, to his rustic congregation. All went well until the fifth verse was reached, and the parson began, "Forever let my grateful heart," when suddenly and with some. confusion he exclaimed, "Omit the fifth verse!" and immediately began to recite aloud the sixth verse instead. Those who had hymnbooks promptly read the fifth verse: Forever let my grateful heart His boundless grace adore, Which gives ten thousand blessing. now And bids me hope for more. Pursuing an Elephant. Any one who has once followed a traveling elephant will not show any undue baste to repeat the amusement. They sail along at an average pace of six miles an hour, regardless of the country, and stop for a bath or a short siesta perhaps once every three days. Anything more exasperating than fol- lowing very fresh spoor at a dog trot, hour after hour in a blazing sun, only to find at a late hour in the afternoon that one was 40 miles from camp, with no food or water, and that the ele- phant had increased his lead from one mile to ten, it would be difficult to imagine.—Everybody's Magazine. Reassured. "They claim that women are trying to dominate the entire species," re- marked Mr. Meekton. "Well, femininity is becoming very aggressive." "It seems so.

And then i feel perfectly content."—Wasb- ington Star. CHECKERS ON THE FARM.

One Man's Method of Golag Fishing With H1■ Boots. There is about as much sport in catching the big sunfish as in sifting out the crappie 1f you can get the former in one of its savage moods. Peiker is a great grafter on sunfish. He has got a dozen different kinds of bait, but he says that it is all nonsense to trouble about digging worms. He declares that beef run through a ham- burg steak grinder is just the proper caper for the sunfish at Creve Ceeur lake. The tougher the beef the better, as it will cut in long strips like angle- worms. "When the sunfish are biting right smart, it is about all that I can do to be kept in the shop," said Peiker. "I be- lieve me and the suntlsh are the most cheering things out. Do you know, I have noticed old time fishermen at Breese's lake wading around in the shallow water, where the sunfish are found at spawning time, as carefully as if they were fishing for trout. Now, It is different with me when I go out with my hamburg steak to feed the golden bellied beauties on. I just tie the line to each leg of my boots, take a little short rod in my hand and stride into the water and go ahead. On the bootleg lines I use red flies. Why, the sunfish come up and get stuck on my.. fly hooks three or four at a time. That's the way to catch a mess of fish In a few hours. "I can catch crappie with crawfish tails to beat the band If I cannot get minnows. Crickets are great sunfish and bass bait, while the katydids will make a crappie leave its bed at mid- night. Just let your book sing once with a green katy on, and if there is a crappie within a radius of 10 or 15 feet it will come like a hound at a coursing match. If you get no bite, you can pull your freight up a few car lengths and try a new place. I caught all those big crap- pie last week with craw tails. I could get no, minnows for love or money, so I chased up some crawfish and went in to win. When it comes to catfish bait, just try tripe. It is tough and cannot be pulled off the book easily."— St. Louis Globe -Democrat. A Forgotten Genius. The history of wireless telegraphy would not be complete without some mention of Joseph Henry, America's greatest scientist, for it was he who first, in 1842, discovered the oscillatory character of certain electric discharges and who showed that theee oscillations produced disturbances which could by suitable receivers be detected at dis- tances of many rods and through in- tervening buildings, writes Professor Joseph Ames In The Review of Re- views. He even arranged an apparatus on this principle to respond to the lightning discharges of distant storms. The great genius of Henry was never more apparent than In bis investiga- tion of electrical discharges and their oscillatory nature. It is a lasting tes- timony to the ignorance among Ameri- cans of their own great men that the name of Joseph Henry was not includ- ed in the first 50 selected for the Hall of Fame of the nation. Wholesale Bathers. As regards facilities for bathing, which every Filipino demands, there is the open bay, with its miles of clean salt water, ready at any time of the day or year for a free bath. The genu- ine Filipino is half amphibious, loving the water and swimming like a fish. An example of this may be seen in the large tobacco factories of Binondo, with their 10,000 employees: When the day's labor is done, the thinly dressed workmen, men, women end children, speed laughingly to the bay, plunge in- to the waiting waves and come out clean, cool and refreshed. — Ledger Monthly.

My friend gave vent to his sincere distress at finding such a man in such a position and was going on to "improve the occasion" when the pris- oner cut in with the remark that he believed in England we were fond of fox hunting. My friend, regarding it as a broad hint to change the subject, assented. "And may I ask," said his compan- ion, "when a man gets a fall, does he give up hunting?" And on getting the only possible answer to such a ques- tion he added, "I have had a bad tall, and no mistake, but I count on better luck another time." This case is thoroughly typical. The true professional is not a weak crea- ture who yields to uncontrollable im- pulse. Loving a life of adventure and having a soul above working for his living, he pursues a life of crime with a full appreciation of its risks. Change those risks to certainties, and you at once supply a motive adequate to influence his course. If every fox hunter ended by breaking his neck, fox bunting would be shunned, save by a few desperate men, and the same would be trite of professional crime of this character if it always ended in disaster.—Nineteenth Century. Worked the Passengers. An amusing scene was witnessed one day on one of the mail boats running from Calais to Dover. The sea was rather rough. A young woman, pretty and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud- denly taken very ill with seasickness. She groaned and screamed in apparent agony for some little time. At length a person who appeared to be a stranger to her approached and asked whether she would like to take a lozenge, which he guaranteed would ease her pain. He had often tried it, he said, on people and always with the most marvelous results. The young lady demurred a little at first, but finally, accepted the offer Never was cure so instantaneous. Hardly had she swallowed the lozenge than the fair patient was sitting up all smiles and ordering ham sandwiches of the stew- ard. Some passengers were so struck with the incident that they inquired what was the remedy that had had aitch a wonderful result, and the gen- tleman, who, as he said, was the agent for the sale of the lozenges, disposed of a eonsiderable number of boxes of them at 10 francs apiece. What was the surprise of the purchasers when they saw the young lady and her pre-, server go off arm in arm on the vessel reaching Dover! The boxes contained common jujubes.—London Telegraph. An Oleclou. Sexton. There is an Irish clergyman of 0 acquaintance who has deservedly considerable local reputation as a t and story teller. He sees everything from the humorous side. His appear- ance, his voice and manner are all mirth provoking, especially his laugh. The present writer heard him speak lately of his sexton, who appears to be an original. A lady, a stranger to the place, asked him if there weee,daily matins in the church. "No, madam," he replied, "we can't afford that; but we put down cocoanut every Sunday." This official is close at hand at 'ail baptisms and marriages and instinct- ively answers all the questions asked of sponsors and couples being mar- ried, so that the rector says he is god- father to innumerable children and has married himself to a considerable num- ber of brides, for when the question is put, "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" he always audibly answers, "I will." It may be truly said "this is very Irish," for so It is. Indeed, we have been told of a case in which a young lady about to be mar- ried in the church which this sexton serves made it a proviso that he should be charged to keep his distance dur- ing the ceremony. --Exchange.

I Fourth of July. The Fourth of July celebration in IRVING TODD • SON. Hastings, notwithstanding that rain SATURDAY JULY 6th, 1901. fell in copious showers the greater portion of the day, proved a great success. The industrial parade at- tracted especial attention and was the best seen here for several years, although but half the number of attractions planned were represented. The unfavorable weather prevented the usual spread-eagle orations and greased pig attractions from taking place in the morning, but all kinds of minor sports occurred with but few exceptions . according to pro- gramme in the afternoon. Froin the sunrise salute to the last fading light of the fireworks at night our people and visitors were kept busy taking in a programme of exceptional good things --for a rainy day. The prin- cipal floats were from the following business firms: R. C. Libbey, sash, doors, and blinds; Mrs. Wesley Archer, millinery; Gardner Mill, flour; P. M. Haas, harvesting machin- ery; F. E. Estergreen, buggies and wagons; and Gardner Mill cooper shops. Among the special attrac- tions were the Hastings Naval Bat- tery, with breech -loading fieldpiece, mounted on a marine gun carriage, in charge of B. H. Stroud, captain, Fred Elliott, F. E. Bailey, William Moser, and W. B. Arper; the liberty float, containing fifty young girls, drawn by four horses; Griffin Bros.' and Michael Graus' decorated vehi- cles, drawn by Shetland ponies, and containing little girls; and Coxey's Army, in command of Gen. Buck Hathaway. Among the features in the afternoon entertainment was an automobile exhibition by Joy Bros., of St. Paul, showing its speed and capabilities, and attracted more than ordinary attention. In the pro- gramme of sports the bicycle race came first, G. L. Chapin and Andrew Anderson contestants, with the for- mer winning. The hundred yard dash in the foot races was won by W. I . Arper, with G. H. Dobie second, and Charles Wheeler third; in the half mile, between C. E. Tuttle and G. L. Chapin, the latter won. In the horse running race there were four entries: T. J. Clark, Cottage Grove; William Coffman, Denmark; N. J. Steffen, Hastings; and Joseph Mur- taugh, Marshan; Clark won first money; Coffman, second; and Steffen third. The sack race was won by George Lytle, with Hilliard Karpen second. Inthe wheelbarrow race Jim Weldon was awarded first money, and Albert Woolen second. The base ball game between Hastings and Prescott was declared off on account of the rain. In the pulling match the teams of C. O. Keene, of Den- mark, and W. H. Barnum and G. H. Taplin, of this city, contested, the [bed. When first applied it will soak ltwo former winning, Mr. Keene tak- speedily into the ground. but a hardened ping first money. The log rolling ex- hibition by Al. Dugas, of Minneap- olis, and several other expert river men, was quite interesting and wit- nessed by a large throng of people. The evening programme wound up with a display of fireworks from the bridge and a hop at the Yanz Theatre, which was largely attended. NOTES. Clint E. Tuttle and August John- son acted as special policemen. The ocean -wave swing at City Park was well patronized in the evening. John Doffing, P. W. Mullany, and N. J. Nelson attended the shooting tournament in Lake City. The Hon. R. C. Libbey was marshal of the day, with Denis Follett, Dr. H. L. Sumption, and A. J. Schaller as aides. A creditable feature was the re- volving electric tower on top of the court -house, erected by C.' L. Bon- well and L J. Chiquet. There were different colored lights at every quar- ter turn. James Gleason, rider of N. J. Steffen's horse in the running race, was thrown upon the pavement at the Gardner House corner, caused by the animal bolting, and received severe cuts and bruises about his right leg and arm. A team from the Hastings Gun Club, comprising S. N. Greiner, E. A. Whitford, A. L. Johnson, John Hei- nen, einen, M. H. Truesdell, and N. B. Ger- gen, went to Lake City and contested at the shooting tournament for the five county gold badge, taking second place.

Wakeman' from, her cousin, • Prof. Stephen A. Forbes, State Entomolo- gist of Illinois, will be of special interest. Professor Forbes says: The following, which I call the combi- nation method of preventing chinch bugs from going from one field to another; for ridding corn fields of them and ultimate- ly eradicating fields of them, has been used in this state for some years with invariable success. When all the farm- ers in a given locality persistently fol- low this method it is only a matter of a little time before their section is no longer' infested with this pest. As soon as the ripening of badly infest- ed fields of small grain begins to com- pel the chinch bugs to desert them, a strip of ground four to six feet wide should be deeply, plowed around the entire field where practicable, or at any rate along the side adjoining corn or any other crop liable to attack. This strip ' should then be thoroughly and deeply pulverized, until it is- reduced as nearly as .possible to the condition of dust. Next. a short log eight or ten inches in diameter. ora triangular trough made by nailing two boards together and after- wards loaded with stone, should be dragged endwise back and forth in this strip, the driver riding the log or trough if necessary. until a deep groeve or furrow has been made across the line of march of the chinch bug host. The sides of the furrow should be dressed here and there with a hoe, as may be—needful to make sure that no passageway out is left for the chinch bugs which will presently accumulate in the bottom. If the furrow has been well made, its dusty sides will prove impassab:e to the bugs which tumble into it. especially as these move at this time almost wholly- on foot. If it is so placed that it is directly exposed to the sun, in very warm weather the great majority of the chinch bugs caught in it will be speedily Billed by the heat, the youngest succumbing first, but even adults finally perishing. Never- theless, to insure their destruction, holes a foot in depth should be made in the furrow with a post hole digger at inter- vals of about twenty feet, to serve as traps for the bugs. Here they will ac- cumulate by pints and quarts or even by pecks in a place. according to the number in the traveling horde, and in these holes they may easily be killed with a little kerosene or coal tar poured 'upon them. The post hole digger may be conveniently used for removing them when dead and for dressing up the holes again. As the myraids of bugs attempt is escape from the furrow, climbing its dusty wall agai■ and again with desper- ate persistence. they will gradually lessen s the slope by dragging down the dust as they fall back. and may thus in time make their way out. It is consequently necessary that the barrier should be con- tinuously watched and occasionally rec- titled here and there with a hoe. After a time it will perhaps be most convenient to make another furrow parallel with the first, abandoning the latter or using it for the coal tar strip presently to be de- scribed. This furrow and post holebarrier will work to practical perfection as long as the ground can be kept thoroughly pul- verized. but even a slight shower of rain is sufficient to destroy it. releasing the imprisoned chinch bugs and giving free passageway into the threatened field. As a safeguard against this contingency, a barrel of ordinary coal tar should be brought to the field, together with a watering pot with a tubular spout and a dipper for dipping out the tar. If a slender line of coal tar be poured along the bottom of the furrow, or on a hard- ened strip of ground outside. it will serve as a barrier to the progress of the bugs no less complete than that above de - crust will thus presently be formed which will hold the tar until it slowly dries out. • Along this strip post holes may be made as before, in which the chinch bugs will be caught even though the ground may be thoroughly wet. If as a consequence of mismanage- ment or accident chinch bugs succeed in crossing this barrier, they will accumu- late upon the nearest corn, where they may be killed at slight expense by spray- ing er Spnnkling the plant with the ker- osene emulsion, made and applied as fol- lows: - - Dissolve one half pound of hard or soft soap in one gallon of water and heat to the boiling point. Remove front the stove and add two gallons of coal oil, churning the mixture with a good force pump for fifteen minutes. When the emulsion is formed, it will look like but- termilk. Toseach quart of this emulsion add fifteen quarts of water, and apply to the corn in a spray—preferably before 10 a. m. or after 3 p. m. The bugs should be washed off so that they will float in the emulsion at the base of the plant. A teacupful to a hill is generally sufficient, but the quantity must vary with the number of bugs infesting the corn. The ascertained coat of material per acre `of corn treated will be less than seventy cents where the plants are practically covered with- chinch bugs. and no more than thirty cents per acre where they are moderately infested. in all this procedure continual vigi- lance and indomitable persistence are in- dispensable. A single man or boy will guarfifty rods i f tfrom he barriier,to lne buthhe hundred tand be in the field early and late. This method may seem troublesome and costly to the reader of this description, but the actual expenditure of labor and money is practically insignificant as compared with the loss of crops which may thus be pre- vehted; and the hope that the chinch bug can be mastered without labor, money, and pluck, must be dismissed, for the present at least. as an unrealized dream.

Over this pyramid some one has built a can- opy to keep off the rain. These were the skulls of young men of Savoy, Sar- dinia and Austria—men of 18 to 35 years of age, peasants from the farms and workmen from the shops—who met at Novara to kill each other over a matter in which they had very little concern. Further on Frenchmen, Austrians and Italians fell together at Magenta, the hue of the blood that flowed out under the olive trees.

April 19 is the great fete day of "Ba- lukll," or place of fishes. This is a small church situated outside the walls of Constantinople, and It enjoyed no particular reputation before the con- quest of Constantinople by the Turks. At the time of the invasion, however, a monk was cooking some fish there when a messenger came and told him that the Turks had entered Constanti- nople. The monk did not believe the story and said he would sooner believe that the half cooked fish would jump back into the water. As he spoke the fish jumped back into the water, and since then the place has had a great reputation for its healing powers. A church has been built over the spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the Fishes," and on this day a regular pil- grimage takes place from all parts of the town. Many sick are carried thith- er, and many miraculous cures are re- ported. The truth of the story is proved by the presence in a large marble lined tank in the church of the lineal de- scendants of the half cooked fish. Any one who does not believe has only to look in the water, and he will see them, brown on one side and white on the other, swimming about at their ease. Sea Bathing. A person can easily determine with one indulgence whether or not open air bathing is hurtful to him. If cir- culation is speedily restored after he has left the water, if his skin is well reddened and he is soon well warmed up and as strong and "lively" as when he took his first plunge, then he may properly assume that his bath has done him good. If, on the other hand, his skin continues cold and clammy for 15 or 20 minutes, notwithstanding the brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for an hour or more afterward he is weak, dull and languid, then he may be toler- ably certain that there is something wrong with him which forbids cold bathing. A Pot Walloper. The parliamentary register for 1896 showed that there was then only one pot walloper in all England. One see- ing the term for the first time might easily imagine that a pot walloper was a species of ichthyosaurus or some oth- er reptile of a past age. It will be dis- covered upon inquiry, however, that the term "pot walloper" is literally one who boils a pot and was applied to vot- ers in certain boroughs of England where, before the passage of the re- form bill of 1832, the qualifications for suffrage was to have boiled (walloped) his own pot in the parish for six months. A Curious Tree. There is a curious combination tree in West Stockbridge, Mass. It is pri- marily a maple which measures, a foot from the ground, 12 feet 3 inches in circumference. Fifteen feet from the ground there are one or two birch limbs growing, and higher up are currant and raspberry bushes which bear fruit each year. It is not stated whether the sugar made from its sap has a rasp- berry flavor, or the birch bark a cur- rant color and taste, or the berries a spicy tang of birch. It is very old and bids fair to stand for many years longer. His Manners All In a Bunch. The laundress' little boy is befog strenuously brought up "by hand."

Then, "Yes, ma'am; no, ma'am; pease, rank you, estuse me," he said breathlessly, re- membering all his "manners" at once, the occasion evidently being great. There's Etiquette In All Trades. A lady who imprudently explained to a fishmonger the other day that her purchase was intended for the cat's dinner was a little hurt at receiving it wrapped up in a newspaper.

The human jaw is very loosely sock- eted in the skull, so that It is often dis- located by the mere act of yawning.

The Dsmisses In a Beehive. To the drones nature has certainly been very bountiful. They are very large and strong, have a helmet made of enormous black pearls, two lofty quivering plumes, a doublet of irides- cent, yellowish velvet, a heroic tuft and a fourfold mantle, translucent and rigid. While the workers have 12,000 facets to their eyes, the drones are gifted with 26,000; while the workers have 5,000 olfactory cavities in their antenntle, the drones have over 60,000. While the workers are laboring for the benefit of the community the drones sail off every bright morning into space, irresistible, glorious, and tranquilly make for the nearest flowers. where they sleep till the afternoon freshness awakes them. Then, with the same majestic pomp and still overflowing with magnificent schemes, they return to the hive, go straight to the cells, plunge their heads to the neck in the vats of honey and fill themselves tight as a drum to repair their exhausted strength, whereupon, with heavy steps, they go forth to meet the good, dreamless and careless slum- ber that shall fold them in its embrace till the time for the next repast.—Mae- terlinck's "Life of a Bee." Bulleighters Afraid of Cows. It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bull- fighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has noth- ing whatever to do with it. The fact is that the average toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow. - And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker In their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like a locomotive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every move- ment of their persecutors. Their war- like tactics have been adapted not to blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the human bullfighter is only a feeble mimic. If these cheap idols of the Spanish populace would face young and active wild cows which had just been robbed of their calves, they might perhaps forestall the butch- er, but they would, at any rate, do something to earn their laurels.—Pear- The Englishman and His Order. An Englishman at a Chicago hotel ordered a trap. He ordered it of an In- telligent looking key clerk behind the desk. Then he went up stairs to his room to prepare himself for the drive. He waited half an hour for the an- nouncement that the vehicle was be- low. He began to wonder if this was an example of the American hustle whose reputation bad crossed the At- lantic. Presently came a knock on the door. "Come in," bade the Englishman. Entered a mechanical looking man in his shirt sleeves. "Where's the hole?" was his question. "Hole?" queried the Englishman. "I wanted a trap." Here it is," said the toiler, "and it'll catch that mouse sure." The Englishman's mouth opened in astonishment, "Mouse! What do you mean? Who are you, anyhow?" "I'm the hotel carpenter, sir, and I've brought up the trap you ordered!" The Englishman glared. Then 1t pen- etrated his Saxon wits, and he roared. He gave the carpenter half a dollar and swore the joke for once was on America. A Beaver's Toilet. It is an interesting sight to watch the outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin with, instead of sitting up with his large, flat, ribbed tall protruding be- hind him, he tucked It forward between his hind legs and sat upon it. Then with his hand he carefully combed his long hair, using both hands at the same time. There were many places, how- ever, that could not be reached in this way, for his arms are very short and his body very large, so he combed these otherwise inaccessible places with his hind feet, using first one and then the other. The entire operation was per- formed with the utmost deliberation and care and occupied more than a quarter of an hour, so that by the time it was completed daylight bad almost vanished. My presence did not appear to dis- turb him in the least, though I sat on the ground within three feet of him that I might the better note his various attitudes, for it is not often one has an opportunity of watching a beaver at such close range.—Everybody's Maga- zine. The Military Salute. All salutes, from taking off the hat son's. to presenting arms, originally implied respect The Old Fashioned Boy. At a little dinner of a few old timers in this city the other night one of the speakers said: "What has become of the Old fash- ioned boy, the one who looked like his father when his father carried the sort of pomposity which was like the divin- ity that hedged a king in the time when kinghood was in its break of day, the boy who wore a hat which threatened to come down over his ears, the boy whose trousers were made over front his father's by his mother or aunt or grandmother, the boy whose hair had a cowlick in it before and was sheared off the same length behind, the boy who walked with both hands in the pockets of his trousers and who expec- torated between his teeth when his teeth were clamped together, the boy who wore boots run down at the heels, the boy who never wore knickerbock- ers or a roundabout coat, the boy whose chirography was shaped by the gym- nastics of his tongue, the boy who be- lieved his father was the greatest man tin the world and that lie could have (been president if he had wanted to be, !the boy wifo was his mother's man [when the man was away from home?" —New York Sun. Virtue of the Mafia. Among the , Mafia "onesta" is th great virtue. This virtue Is said to b possel3sed by those who never unde any circumstances help the authoritie by giving information, not even o crimes of which they may be the vic thus. To give information is to forfei all honor, to become a "cascittuni," o spy. This feeling which underlies the Ma - 11a, which Is not old, but was born i Sicily at the bet "ening of the nine- teenth century, is due to the inborn hatred which the Sicilian has for gov- Srnment. Any interference of the au- thorities in his private affairs he re- gards with jealousy and distrust. In his sight a man who calls oil the au- thorities for anything is vile. He be- lieves in settling private differences privately, either by fair fight or mur- der. No matter what a member of the Mafia may suffer, he will never inform. If he recovers from an injury, be will avenge himself if he can, and if he cannot he blames no one and would scorn to even take the authorities into his confidence. A Sicilian proverb runs, "If I live, I will kill you; If I die, I forgive you." e e 1' S f r n Geographical Distribution of Hair. The geographical distribution of the hair over the habitable world is, as re- gards the color, very precisely defina- ble. The xanthocomic or light haired races are to be found north of latitude 48 degrees, which cuts off England, Belgium, the whole of northern Ger- many and a great portion of Russia. Between this parallel and latitude 45 degrees, including northern Pranced Switzerland and part of Piedmont and passing through Bohemia and Austria, i there is a ' sort of debatable land of more or less dark brown hair, and be- I low this line we come gradually upon the Melanie races. The people of Eu- rope therefore present In the color of hair an almost perfect gradation. the I light flaxen of the colder latitudes deepening imperceptibly into the blue i black of the Mediterranean shores.— Gentleman's Magazine. Queer Laad Tenures. Some of the tenures In England are I t very curious. A farm near Broadhouse, A 1n Yorkshire, pays annually to the i landlord a snowball in midsummer and i (8 a red rose at Christmas. The manor of J Foston is held by a rental of two ar- 1 f. rows and a loaf of bread. An estate in the north of England is held by the ex- hibition before a court every seven years of a certain vase owned by the sn family, another in Suffolk by an annual rental of two white doves. or submisalon. Of military sa- lutes, raising the right hand to the bead is generally believed to have orig- inated from the days of the tourna- ment, when the knights filed past the throne of the queen of beauty and, by way of compliment, raised their hands to their brows to imply that her beau- ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes to gaze upon. The officer's salute wltb the sword bas a double meaning. The first posi- tion, with the hilt' opposite the lips, is a repetition of the crusader's action in kissing the cross hilt of his sword in token of faith and fealty, while low- ering the point afterward implies ei- ther submission or friendship, meaning in either case that it is no longer nec- essary to stand on guard. Raising their band to the forehead has also been ex- plained as a sign that the weaponed hand is empty and in an inoffensive po- sition, but this reason does not seem so convincing as the others. Ancient Skyscrapers. The idea prevails that skyscrapers are of modem, American origin, but Professor Lanciani declares that in an- cient Rome, as early as the time of Au- gustus, buildings 10 or 12 stories high were common. Later they are believed to have been much higher, rivaling our most modern apartment building in size and height. It is well known that at Constantinople the Emperor Con- stantine found his view of the water cut off by the skyscrapers erected be- tween his palace and the water front, though he had placed his palace on high ground. The first European book that ever appeared in the Japanese language was a translation from the German of Heine's songs. The Markets, BARLEY. -48 ® 53 CLS. BEEF.—$6.00@4r. BRAN.—$13.

When you have a friend to visit you, it she be a welcome guest, You will try to make her happy, and you'll give her of your best; You'll tell her all the story of your varied house- hold cares, And everlastingly you'll prate about your awn affairs; But whatever else you do, don't, for heaven's sake, he led To put that helpless woman in the cold spare bed! - You nyt} tell her of your troubles with your nu- meroits hired girls And what "she said" and what "1 said" till her understanding whirls; You may talk of the servant question till the set- ting moon's last gleam And begin again next morning on the same old tiresome theme; But whatever else you do, don't, for heaven's sake, be led To put that halpless woman in the cold spare bed! You may tell leer of your pains and aches and what the doctor said That time you came near dying with neuralgia in your head; Of how you poured down bitters and drops and patent pills When you caught the dread malaria and had such awful chills; You may bore her, you may weary her, till she wishes she were dead. But, for heaven's sake, don't put her in the cold, spare bed! —New England Farmer.

A few Bashi-Bazouks were the sole escort. Some cantered in front; a denser body brought up the rear. Amantor on a handsome charger caracoled gayly in sight of the open window of the car- riage. They were in the center of the defile of Jalouf when suddenly a rifle shot rang out amid the stillness of the mountain solitude, and a homeless steed came clattering past the carriage. Amantor Pasha galloped forward to see what had happened. Before lie had ridden 50 yards the mountains were echoing with the sharp, swift volleys poured in on all sides. The Bashi-Bazouks in front were shot down to a man. Those in the rear, having lost heavily, turned to fly, but their retreat was cut off at the mouth of the Jalouf defile, and not one es- caped. s • • • • s * • Again Sklavatz stood bareheaded iu front of Sophronia Valoffsky, who smiled on him her sunniest smile as she sat back in the carriage.

"And why refuse me?I love you be- yontj reason. I have never loved as 1 love you. Everything you can desire shall be yours, Sophronia." "Call me madame," replied a beauti- ful woman, with face of classic pro- file, surveying the almost frenzied pasha with a cold contempt which ag- gravated both his fury and his desire. "I have already told you, pasha, that I decline to share your affections with the 50 or more estimable ladies of your harem," - "Then you have been playing with me. madame," growled the pasha. "You have led me to think you were not in- different to me. And here, in Illutza, I am master, and you shall not leave II- lutza except to become my wife." Here he took a stride toward iter as if he would seize her there and then and carry her off. "Take care!" She spoke in a low, clear, unmoved tone. "A step nearer. and you are a dead man. I carry a re- volver. I can hit the ace of hearts at 20 yards. My nerve is good; my hand Is steady. Any violence, and the next second Amantor Pasha is a corpse," He stood stock still. Her coolness calmed him, conquered his rage, but Inflamed his admiration. "As the English say, you are a cool hand," he remarked. To himself he thought: "I will have her now at all costs. What a bride for a pasha! What nerve! What a resource! With her, who knows, I might be grand vizier- sultan even!" And he was perhaps not far wrong. Madame was of many shifts. It was she who in the great South African war had been a spy of fame. Courted by the highly placed and susceptible in the British camp in various parts of South Africa,- she had kept Paul Kru- ger and Cronje and Christian De Wet and Erasmus informed of all that was doing in the English army. 'Her na- tionality was a matter of guesswork Some said she was French, others Rus- sian, but she was known as "Madame" par excellence. "I will take my leave now, madame," said the pasha, drawing his handsome term up to its full height, "but you shall marry me." "A very good morning to your excel- lency," said Sophronia Valoffsky, with a mocking nod, "but I shall not marry 7011." The pasha withdrew, with never a word wore, and two minutes later there was a clatter of horses on the roadway as he and his staff galloped off up the little street. "Bah!" murmured Sophronia as she peeped out at him through the jaloti- sies. "Not a bad looking man either and sits his horse well." Turning from the window, Sophronia Valoffsky contemplated her face and figure in a huge mirror which stretched from floor to ceiling on one side of the apartment, and then, snatching up a leather bead- - ed baton, she struck smartly a large gong. It was almost immediately an- swered. "Bring me my hooded fur cloak at once, Lona," said madame, "and cloak yourself as well, for 1 shall want you." Madame went to a sideboard and poured herself out a liqueur, while she lit the daintiest of dainty cigarettes. She had not blown half a dozen Whiffs of smoke when Lona returned and quickly enveloped her mistress in the warm cloak. "Sklavatz is to be found today. Lo- na?" "Yes, gracious mistress; at the yel- low khan in the lower town." "Then conduct me there. No time is to be lost. My liberty is threatened, Lona, and may be gone from me at any moment." As she spoke Mme. Va- loffsky stepped toward the jalousie. "Hist, Lona! There is a body orTurk- Ish soldiers coming down tbe hill es- corting a closed carriage. Bolt and barricade the front door while i run by the back." Lona, having done her work, rushed after her mistress. She knew the Mac- edonian town thoroughly and led ma- dame by devious and intricate turnings to baffle pursuit. Besides, the twilight had begun to deepen, and rain was falling and threatening to fall heavily. At last they reached the lower town, and, again pursuing windings seeming- ly interminable, they at last passed up., aha narrow passage to where, underneath, ancient Itontan wall, bright light Jd4sued forth from a large terior. "The khan—the yellow kk tan," whis- pered Lona beneath hit. breath.- Mme. ' Valoffsky sighed a sigh of relief, and her gait assumed its wonted undulating grace as she stepped forward toward the open front of the khan or rude inn. Prones Better Than Candy. Americans recognize California as the greatest fruit producing region of the world, although they were not the first to see the great future of the state in this respect. The healthfulness of fruit has been emphasized by the palat- able quality of the home grown arti- cle placed on the American market, The California prune has won its way to favor in this country against the French prune. It is larger and more delicious, and it also has the advan- tage of natural and entirely healthful processes in its preparation for the con- sumer. It is nutritious and not cloying, like candy, and it is bound to come into favor as a substitute for sweets among parents who love to see a ruddy glow on the faces of their children.—Leslie's Weekly. Was Born In Boston. A young man who for business rea- sons had wandered far from his native city, materially, but not spiritually, once attended a revival service in the small town where he had taken up his abode. At the service an urgent in- vitation was extended to all sinners to come forward to the anxious seat to be prayed for by the brothers and sisters of the church. As the young man did not accept the invitation the revivalist walked down the aisle and placed his hand on his shoulder, inquiring, "Ilave you ever felt any desire to be born again V' The answer was given at once: "No; I was born in Boston." --Short Stories.

The Squire and the Summing Vs. At a lawyers' dinner in Buffalo one of the best stories told was of Squire Murray, who weighed 300 pounds and who was born in Ireland, was in the whisky business here and held his court on the Terrace. The courtroom was like a courtroom in Ireland. The bench was five feet from the floor, with a chair whose back reached to the ceiling. The trimmings of the room were all green. Mr. Lockwood and Judge Beckwith were trying out a case before the squire. There was no jury. At the close the squire paused. "Po you wish to sum up?" he asked. "I leave it all with your honor," said Mr. Lockwood, who advises young law- yers with a ticklish cause and friendly face on the bench to do likewise. "I'll sum up," said Judge Beckwith. "Very well," replied Squire Murray. "While you're at it I'll slip down in Murray Bros.' and have a drink with Lockwood. But I'll be back before you finish." The squire and Mr. Lockwood went out. The squire was in search of the spirit of the law at the root of the law. Mr. Lockwood thinks they had a drink. On the stairs, half way back to the courtroom, with the echo of Beckwith's voice sounding in their ears, the squire stopped. "Lockwood," said he, "you've won your case." Then they went in and heard Beck- with finish summing up.—Buffalo Ex- press. Methodical Punctuation. a Speaking of W. II. ("Coin") Harvey, g a Chicago man said: "An amusing incident took place while Harvey was editor of Coin, a pa,. per which he published in Chicago. Harvey, in talking to one of his part- ners, took exception to the want of punctuation in the paper. 'There isn't enough punctuation,' he complained, 'and Coin doesn't look right without it. There ought to be a colalma once in so often, then so often a colon, and all the rest. Don't you think so?' he wound up appealingly. "'I do, indeed,' heartily replied the partner, who was not wholly devoid of humor. 'That's a great idea of yours, Harvey. If I were -you,' he suggested, `I'd draw up a rule to that effect.' "Harvey thought it over, and the thought commended itself. The next day, therefore, a rule reading some- what as follows was posted in the of- , fice of Coin: `hereafter it is the rule of this office that articles appearing in the columns of this paper must be punctu- ated as follows: Every 13 words shall carry a comma; every three lines a semicolon; every four lines a colon; ev- ery five lines a period; exclamation and question marks may be used as hereto- fore.

Customer—Well, put it down her my man, and let's see what sort of job you've made of it. The man set it down in the middle o the room, and the customer examine it with the air of a critic. Customer—Why, my man, there 1 here a crack filled up with putty. Joiner—Yes, sir. Well, sir, I know about that, but it won't be noticed when it sets hard. Customer (coming across some more putty)—But here's some more, my man. What Is the meaning of this? Joiner—Nell, sir, you see, a little bit of wood chipped off the corner, and I just put a little putty there to fill up. It wen't do no harm, sir, when It's set hard. Customer (finding some more putty patches)—Look here, my man, this won't do. Why, here's a big lump right in the middle of this leg. What can you say about that? Joiner (scratching his bead and try- ing bard to find some excuse by which to retrieve his honor)—Well, sir, that's no harm whatever, and the putty when it sets hard will be firmer and harder than the wood. So, you see, it will be all the better If you wait a bit, sir. Customer (sarcastically)—Here, my good man, just take this table home nd bring me one made of putty alto - ether. i want a good strong one, and ou can fill up the cracks with wood.— London Tit -Bits. e e, a f d $ A Failure In Coopering. A certain man who was once a prominent Kentucky politician was more a demagogue than a statesman. IIe was, according to Short Stories, in the habit of boasting that his father was a cooper in an obscure town in the state—that he was "one of the people" and didn't belong to the "kid gloved aristocracy." The "general's" great failing being his fondness for liquor, it will surprise no one to be told that the more he drank the more loudly he declaimed his political sentiments anti the prouder 1 of being the son of a cooper he became. During a political campaign, where his , opponent was the southern orator, Tom 1 Marshall, he had been unusually noisy and offensive in his boasting regarding his obscure origin. In replying, Mar- shall said, looking hard at the general: "I''ellow citizens, my opponent's father may have been a very good cooper. I don't deny that; but I do say, gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor head into that whisky barrel." Heal Nice Bathing. It may be doubted if a tub bath in Janfkica is a luxury.

Her hands beckoned, reached out, clutched, clutched deli- cately, lived to their finger tips. Her body straightened, bent, tbe knees bent and straightened, the heels beat on the floor, carrying her backward.and round.

So was she, and she passed him around that the host and hostess might feel the bumps and know of their exist- ence. Then she explained: "My book on phrenology sags that they mean good memory and generos- ity." It was evident that she was proud of the facts, and so was he.

The shining gold of April celandine, the scent of white violets, are not for us at all, says science, not even for the in- sects that come to them for honey, but just for the sake of the flowers them- selves, which must get cross fertilized or die out. Self, self only, is the bed- rock of it all. So the violets are not fragrant for ua, and the thrush was not made to sing on our account, but to charm his mate, and the stars do not shine so as to light our way through the wood and across the wild on moon- less nights. Fortunately this discovery need not take away our appetite for the feast which is spread out. We need have ne more compunction in coming to it un- invited than bas the bee or the moth in sipping the nectar of the blossom.

For one quart of cold milk use half a box of gelatin. Cover and let them stand together about an hour. Then beat, but do not let the mixture boil. Beat the yolks of four eggs and add to them half a pound of fine sugar. Turn the scalding milk over the eggs and sugar, stirring all the time. Return the mixture to the fire and stir until It 1s of the consistency of soft custard. Let the mixture become cold, stirring It occasionally as It cools. When it be- gins to thicken, flavor with vanilla and lightly stir in the whites of the eggs that have been beaten to a stiff froth. Turn the mixture into a mold and put in a cold place. Make a soft custard and pour around this dessert when serving it. Adjourned Correspondent (approaching Irish ser- geant)—I am told, sergeant, that you had a skirmish with the enemy this morning.

Oa the Government. They were two big, burly Indians.

A government employee, it matters not who, but one who may pos- sibly in certain events happening make a "stake" out of the tribe to which these Indians belong, was doing the honors of the capitol and showing the braves about the corridors. They left the Indian committee room and came to the door of the house restaurant. "Let's have a bite to eat," suggested the man with the graft, "All right," was the quick reply of the aborigines. At the luncheon counter the one who could master the most L.glish asked, "Guv'munt pay?" "Oh, yes," responded the host, think- ing that the quickest way to inform them that they would not have to stand good for the bill. "Ugh!" grunted the brave, "we eat lot, guv'munt pay." And they did— four cups of coffee each, half a dozen hard boiled eggs, three ham sand- wiches, one dozen doughnuts, a whole baked chicken, ice cream, a whole pie each and besides that a thirst for fire water that was absolutely appalling. The luncheon counter looked as though a cyclone might have paid it a visit by the time the Indians got through, and the bill that the "guv'munt" clerk had to foot. made his week's salary look like 7 cents. "Ouv'munt heap good," grunted the brave as he picked his teeth in true "white brother" fashion in the corridor. "We eat here again." But it will not be in company with that particular clerk.—Washington Star. "How Soon We Are Forgot.

She was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Albany academy and Itut^ers college. She be - r.& ULB RUTH ROBLNSON. came connected with Oxford five years ago, having for 15 years previously been instructor and principal of vari- ous seminaries. In taking -the presi- dency of Oxford Miss Robinson does not relinquish the post of dean. College Girl is a New Type. The impression made upon a for- eigner by the American college girl is et forth at some length in Professor Mn nsterberg's article in the current International Monthly. He says: "There are beautiful and brilliant and clever and energetic women the world over, but the college girl Is a new type to us, and next to the 24 story building nothing excites our curiosity • more than the women who have stud- ied. "Even he who is most violently prej- udiced is first reconciled and then be- comes enthusiastic. He wanders in vain through the colleges to find the repulsive creature he expected. and the funny picture of the German comic pa- pers changes slowly into an enchant- ing type by Gibson, and when he has made good use of his letters of intro- duction. and has met these new crea- tions at closer range, has ebatted with • them before cozy open fires, has danced and bicycled and golfed with them, has seen their clubs and meetings and char- ities. he finds himself discouragingly word poor when he endeavors to de- scribe with his imperfect English the impression that bas been niade upon him. He feels that his vocabulary is not sufficiently provided with compli- mentary epithets." As to marriage for the college girl, the German visitor agrees with those who think that higher education of women means a menace to their suc- cess as wives and mothers. This ex- pression of his views is interesting: "Tbe woman bas not become less at- tractive as regards marriage, but has not marriagebecome less attractive to the woman? And long before the fresh- man year did not the outer influences begin to impel in that direction? Does it not begin In every country school where the girls sit on tbe same bench with the boys and discover a long, long time too early " how stupid, those boys are? Coeducation bas many desirable features. It strengthens the girls; it refines the boys; it creates a comrade- ship between the two sexes. But these factors make at the same time for an Indifference toward the other sex. to- ward a disilluslonism, which must show In the end. The average German girl thinks, I am sorry to say, that she will marry any one who will not make her • unhappy; the ideal German girl thinks that she will marry onjy the man who will certainly make her happy. The ideal American girl thinks that she can marry only the man without whom she will be unhappy, and the average Amer - lean girl approaches this standpoint with an alarming rapidity." A Japanese Girl's Education. Miss Tsuda, who last autumn opened a girls' boarding school at Tokyo, is now one of the most marked women in Japan. America furnished her with the education she is passing on to her countrywomen. She was the young- est of five little girls who in the seven- ties were sent to this country to be ed- ucated. She was only 7 years of age when she landed in San Francisco. Everything in America was strange to these children. One evening they were served with supper in their own rooms ata hotel and were much puz- zled by a half hard, shiny yellow stuff, of the nature of which they were !ono - rant. They took at last a -spoonful all round, knowing of no other way to eat this western dainty. From that day to this one of the party has never put between ber lips a morsel of butter. She bad too much of u th that first ex- periment. When they reached Washington, the strangers found that their troubles had only begun. There was no place for them at the Japanese legation. Indeed i there seemed no place for them any- where, and for some time after their arrival they lived quite by themselves, with only hired attendants to help them. They were very lonely and homesick. Miss Tsuda's recollections of those unhappy days are chiefly of "tagging on behind the older girls" and feeling that 'she was not wanted anywhere, since ever the head of the legation, on seeiere her, had asked indignantly wily they had sect him a baby. At the end of six months Miss Tsuda was adopted by the family of Mr. Charles Lanman of Washington. For ten years she remained in America and then returned to Japan. She had a per- fect command of English, bitt she found herself a stranger in her own land, ig- norant of the manners and customs and even of the tongue of her' people. She set herself to become as thorough- ly Japanese as she was American. Aft- erward, when she had succeeded in tfils, she returned to America and stud- ied at Bryn Mawr. -Youth's Compan- ion. The Care of Gloves. In warm weather gloves grow shaboy very quickly. When the hand per- spires freely, as it always does in sum- mer, it is almost impossible to keep even the nicest gloves looking well for any length of time unless the hands are dipped into- and rubbed with fine oat- meal just before the gloves are slipped on. The meal will absorb the perspira- tion that is the cause of the gloves be- coming"stiff and discolored, and keep the hands, at least for a time, quite dry. Instead of the oatmeal, fuller's earth may be employed. When the 'gloves are removed, a little French chalk, fuller's earth, violet pow- der or oatmeal should be sprinkled into them, into the fingers, as well as the palms of the gloves. This will prevent discoloration. - Gloves should never be folded up or they will wrinkle and fit badly ever after. They ought to be laid away quite flat, with all the fingers pulled out carefully. - ' When trying on a new glove, have plenty of time, for if it is put on care- fully and correctly the first time it will lastduring Longer and look better its entire wearing life. The hand should neither be 'cold nor too -bot. A hot hand will most likely be damp. If so, oatmeal or fuller's earth will correct this, and the hand just comfortably warm and perfectly "dry should be care- fully inserted into the glove, finger by u .finger, the thumb last In removing a C glove. turn the wrist portion over the hand, then loosen the glove from the base of the flag rs, not from the nail ends. When white gloves are slightly soil- ce ed, they may be -cleaned by rubbing the soiled part with a piece of india tali- - ri ber or with a handful of baked flour'; th pipeclay, magnesia and benzine are of also excellent. The latter, however, ea should be 'used' most carefully, never where there is gas or eery strong light or heat--Sarab Burrows in American Queen.. me wearing lace that was set with jewe died out altogether. It has lately occurred, bowever, Mrs. Nevill Jackson, the authoress of "A History of Handmade Lace" and herself a great lover of lace, that it might be possible, in view of the pres- ent admiration for real lace and ap- preciation of its beauties, to revive this picturesque fashion.

Iadte forms, after all, an ideal back- ground for precious stones of every color and kind, and when we admire at the Quest gallery, as we fain must do, a dainty fan of white lace, set witb turquoises, or a long scarf of black chantilly, the ends of which are jewel- ed -with diamonds and pearls, we can only wonder that so beautiful a form of ornamentation should ever have been neglected or allowed to fall out of favor. -Pall Mall Gazette. Her Knowledge of Chinese. A young woman at a watering place one summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man- ner. She called one thy at a Chinese laundry, where she had left a shirt waist, but it could not be found, as there was no entry in the book of hieroglyphs corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake had been made, so the entry was cross- ed out and a new set of hieroglyphs in tiny characters placed below. She was told, that the waist would be laundered immediately and she could get it the next day. The next day the young woman call- ed for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashore the ex- citement of a visit to the Chinese laun- dry is not to be despised. The China- man to whom the pink slip was pre- sented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced the same difficulty In finding the identify- ing character, finally saying, "Not in book." - The girl answered calmly, "I can find it," and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves un- til she came to one that had an entry crossed out with another in tiny char- acters tinder it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There it is," and, to bis surprise, he found it. - "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he said, and the other girls looked pon her with admiration. - Kansas ity World.

Women Confectioners' Soccers. A London confcctioner's establish- ment, which is run entirely by women, has become so great a success that its kitchen has of necessity been partially converted into a school, where women anxious to learn are taught the, confec- tioner's art. At the neat marble slabs women of good education are busy with dainty concoctions. Some of these pu- pils are ambition§ to become managers of similar establishments of their own. The concern in question is carried on in connection with a restaurant and tearoom, and, since tearooms are often managed by women, pupils from such establishments are coming in increas- ing numbers to this school. One course, in which only two pupils can be taken at a time, includes the making of cakes, sweets, ices, boo1d eeping and shop management. All tae latest inventions of the confectioner's art are mastered by these women as rapidly as they ap- pear, and they find 't necessary in this, as in every field of work, to keep abreast of the times. To Keep Flowers. If one wants to preserve flowers a few days longer than they would keep ordinarily, one should try this method: Clip the stems just a little and put one drop of ammonia and the tiniest pinch of salt in a vase of water, says the Montreal Star. Put the flowers in this and unless the weather is very cool set them outside the window overni t. Put them in fresh water, with the op of ammonia and pinch of salt, ear y morning, and it will be found that they keep fresh and will not lose their crisp, "life y" appearance for many days. Roses bare been known to keep in this preparation for a full week without drooping at all. Of course, flowers that, have been worn for several hours will not keep so long, but even they will brighten up and seem grateful Female Miniature of Sousa.

Some time ago two hulled hoboes who had just dismounted from a Cen- tral freight train asked a Yonkers man for a loan of 10 cents to secure some food. He took them to a restaurant and promised to provide them with work as soon ae they had flnished eat- ing. When they re*,sorted for work, he said: "Boys, any cellar's full of water,in and I want you to pup it out. I've fixed these hand pumps right here on the sidewalk. Never mind the people. When they come along and ask ques- tions, just you say nothing, but pump till the eyater's out of the cellar. Keep cool. Don't hurry, but pump, and I will pay you well." - Now, a tributary to the Nepperhan river ran through this man's store cel- lar and out under the sidewalk, and the pumps reached down -into the -river. The water pumped out by the hoboes ran into the sewer and back into the Nepperlsan, but as the sidewalk was tightly flagged the pampers didn't know the size of their job. - The street became jammed with spec- tators, who roared with merriment as they watched the hoboes. All but the men at the pumps knew what was up. When the sun went down, it descended on the wrath of two Weary Willies, armed with coupling pins.

In South America the retail price for the better grades of chocolate averages about $1 a pound, while in Italy, France, England and in the United States the better grades sell at a much lower price. In America the ordinary chocolate of trade sells for about one- third of the price that is charged for it where it is produced. The cause of this, the producers say, . is that the original product is adulterated greatly before reaching its final market, a cheaper article than the cocoa bean constituting the large proportion of 90 per cent of the chocolates'of commerce. The cocoa bean from which chocolate is manufactured is produced in its fin- est form in Venezuela, though various other parts of Central and South Amer- ica grow and export large quantities. Two crops of the -bean are gathered each year, and the manufacture con- sists simply in grinding up the beans into a meal anti -thee adding sugar and arrowroot, with the necessary flavor, 'usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass is moistened until it is in a semifluid state. after which it is run into molds of the proper shape. Cave Dwellers la Dieppe. ppe. People who only know the gayer aide of Dieppe would be surprised to hear of the existence of the cave dwellers there. One is apt to connect such peo- ple with the knawed bones and flint implements of prehistoric times. But here they are at Dieppe within a stone's throw of the casino, and they may be seen any day about the town selling the shellfish from the rocks outside their habitations. They have certain marked characteristics, one being a pe- culiar complexion of their own that can be traced largely to a disinclina- tion on the part of the cave dweller to avail himself of the water that washes so close to his door. Their language also is peculiar, but whether it really belongs to the stone. age no one seems to have discovered. They have to hold a license from the municipality, though, which savors of no age but the present. -London Chronicle. England's Old Common Field System. A "common field" is quite distinct from a "common." It is a field be- longing to numerous owners. The land consists of long narrow strips, perhaps not more than ten yards wide and run- ning parallel with one another. What are the exact rules of 'cultivation that obtain in Kent today we do not know, but of old it was usual to have a regu- lar rotation, such as wheat one year, barley or oats the second and fallow the third. When the crops were har- vested, each member of the community getting his or ber share, all could put in their cattle, which roamed over the whore field, feeding on the stubble, etc. And this was termed the "right of sack." The "common field" system was gradually done away with by statutes in the reigns of George III and Wil- liam IV. -London Express. Time to Go to Work. A woman was once trying to induce General Sherman to use his influence for her sou in order that he might be given a place in the army, for which, however, be had shown no particular fitness. "His father was in the army," said the urgent mother, "and so were his grandfather and his great-grand- father, and it seems as if be ought to follow the line." "Him! Three generations in the army," said the general. "Don't you think, madam, that it is about time for one member of the family to work for a living?" We Are Shorter at Night. It is an undoubted fact that the hu- man body is shorter at night than in the morning. and that is due to the weight of the body compressing the intervertebral cartilages. During sleep or while in a recumbent position, the pressure being removed, their natural elasticity enables them to resume their normal size; consequently the height of an individual will vary from three- eighths to half an inch between morn- ing and night.

TWO of their greatest literary productions are a dic- tionary in 5,020 volumes and an en- cyclopedia in 22,937 volumes. Posing as a Model. A curious feature of a model's occu- pation Is her posing for an artist who is painting some one else. Wealthy people are capricious and often do not care to give long sittings. Therefore, after the artist has caught the expres- sion of the face, he will call in a model to pose for the figure. Some models do not care to do this, as part of their enjoyment of their occupation consists In seeing themselves reproduced on cant -as, but there are others who are quite willing to help fill out. Various models have various points of excellence, and often a painter will employ at different stages in the prog- ress of his work from three to four models for one figure on his canvas. One model is known for her coloring, another for her hands, another for her halt -An artist generally notes in his address book the characteristics of a model after her naase.

Shoving the Queer. The game of counterfeiting in this country is played by people of all na- tionalities, and, although some women and children are used - as tools, men take the principal parts. After having made the coin the great problem is bow to convert it intogood money. The maker rarely. takes part in that opera- tion. it is the business of gangs, which consist usually of two persons, known as the "holder" and the "shover." The horde, carries a stock of the counterfeit money, and the shover has one piece. This he takes to a store or a saloon and buys something for a small amount, and when he comes into the street the holder sees him from his po- sition a block away. joins him, receives the good money and hands nim another counterfeit. The object is to work so that the shover, if detected, may plead inno- cence and prove that the piece Is the only one that be has and that he has no other money. Some clever operators go so far as to mix good coin with the bad. To Gauge His Wife's Temper. "I heard about a peculiar case of hen- pecked husband recently," said a young woman the other day. "What was it?" her friend inquired. "There is a man who has some diffi- culty in gauging his wife's temper. At times she is considerate of his welfare and at other times -well, be rather thinks that married life is a failure. "He has a peculiar manner of finding out the state of his wife's feeling to- ward him. In the evening when he re- turns home from work he never steps into the house without going through a sort of ceremony. First he throws his hat in the house, and then he seats himself on the steps and waits. If five minutes pass without the hat being thrown out again, he enters and gener- ally finds his wife very agreeable. However, if the hat is thrown out again the unfortunate man seeks hos- pitality for the night somewhere else rather than brave the anger of his help- meet." --Cleveland Leader. An Approach to Perpetual Motion. A clock is to be seen at Brussels which comes about as near being a perpetual motion machine as can be invented, for the sun does the winding. The following is the method by which it works: A shaft exposed to the solar rays causes an up draft of air, which sets the fan in motion. The fan actu- ates mechanism which raises the weight of the clock until it reaches the top and then puts a break on the fan till the weight bas gone down a little, when the fan is again liberated and proeeeda,to act as before.

And the shillings were sent him im- mediately. Painting Black Eyes.

Martin Furlong from their residence in Rich Valley Tuesday afternoon, their two little sons, John and Law- rence, aged respectively nine and two years, were accidentally wounded by shooting themselves in the hands with a revolver, thirty-eight calibre, which the younger took from a bu- reau drawer. The older went to take the revolver away from his infant brother, when it became discharged, the latter getting shot through his left wrist and the former in the in- dex finger of his left hand. The boys were brought to this city in the evening and Dr. A. M. Adsit dressed the wounds, which are not considered serious. It was simply wonderful that the boys escaped as luckily as they did, but the episode will behoove parents in future to place all firearms far from the reach of their children. The District Court.

Induessa, It is very well known that the in- fluenza is not an exclusively modern complaint, but I am not sure whether s curious reference to It by Bower, the continuator of Fordun's chronicle, has been noted. Writing of the year 1420 he says that among those wbo died in Scotland that year were Sir Henry St. Clair, earl of Orkney; Sir James Doug- las of Dallteith, Sir William de Aber- nethy, Sir William de St. Clair, Sir Wil- liam Cockburn and many others, all by "that infirmity whereby not only great men, but innumerable quantity of the commonalty, perished, which was vul- garly termed le Quhew [le Quhew a vurgarlbus dlcebatur]" (Bower, xv, 82.) Now, "quh" in Scottish texts usu- ally represents the sound of "wh" (properly aspirated.) Therefore it seems that in the fifteenth century the influenza was known as "the whew," just as it is known in the twentieth century as "the flue." I have refrained from quoting at length Bower's explanation of the cause of the epidemic, but there seems little doubt that the disease was iden- tical with that with which we are so grievously familiar. - Notes and Que- ries. Barometric Hees. Whoever observes these interesting insects finds it easy enough to foretell exactly the kind of weather to be ex- pected. At least this is the opinion of many raisers of bees. Generally the bee stays .t home when rain is in the air. When the sky is simply dark and cloudy, these busy workers do not leave their dwelling all at once. A few go out first, as though the queen had sent out messengers to study the state of the atmosphere. The greater number remain on observation until the clouds begin to dissipate, and It is only then that the battalions en- tire rush out in search of their nectar. A bee never goes out Ina fog, because it 1s well aware that dampness and cold are two fearsome, redoubtable enemies. We do not mean, however, that the bee is a meteorologist in the absolute sense of the *ford. Its clever- ness consists in never being taken un- awares, for it possesses untiring vigi- lance. Often one may observe the sud- den entrance of bees into the hive when a dense cloud hides the sun and even though the rain 'Is not in evidence. -St. Louis Globe -Democrat. Changed Times. Times have changed indeed from the timewhen hen S do e Smith complacently observed that the United States had so much wilderness clearing to do that It might welt take its literature, learn- ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng- lish factories. "Why," he had asked, "should the Americans write books when a six weeks' passage brings them,i their hYA own tongue, our sense, science and gen- ius in bales and hogsheads? Prairies, steamboats, gristmills, are theft nat- ural objects for centuries to come." We might almost reverse this and ask, "Why should the English feel 111 at ease when a six days' passage brings them our sense, science and genius?" For the time at least the Rev. Syd- ney Smith's chief notoriety seems to be that he was the author of certain observations whose truthfulness has proved as brief as it was bitter. -Har - per's Weekly.

I -I -I -I -1-I 111111111 I -I -I- The air was growing chill in the early twilight when Mary Hamerton opened the little garden gate and went swiftly down the path to her father's house. How familiar everything look- ed! How few changes 15 years had wrought! No doubt the greatest change was to confront her within the old home. She slipped through the un- locked doorway into the kitchen. There was a young woman there, a young woman who looked up with startled eyes when Mary entered. But Mary explained her presence in a few words, and the young woman, whose heart was tender, listened with a suspicion of tears in her eyes and gladly second- ed her suggestions. And Mary learned that the young woman was the daugh- ter of a neighboring farmer, who had come over to care for Gilbert Blair and his home. No; the old man was not, as Ma_y had feared, in failing health. He was feeble, it was true, and kept to his t chair and his reading more, but he was s not 111. Yes, he was in the sitting room now in the old rock-er by the fireplace. The young woman had just fixed the lamp for him, and he had taken up his book. Would Mary go to him now? un- Your 1)On ou," at I my ked up city did ere .

Perhaps she had been wrong to brave him as she did, but her soul rebelled against the narrow limits of an her life in the dull little hamlet. She v° wanted knowledge; she wanted society. There had been a wordy strife, and she had gone forth. Later on, when she had established herself in the city by the lake and the cruel days of the early struggle seemed passed, she had written to him, but he had not answered. She wrote again. Her letter was returned. He was very hard and very unforgiving. Occasion- ally she heard of him in indirect ways. Once she met a man from the neigh- borhood, and he turd her that her fa- ther never spoke of her and never per- mitted her e name to be mentioned in his hearing. And so the years passed, 15 of them, and then a great longing to see her fa- ther came to her. It came to her after the death of her child. And so she was here. Mary put a huge apron over her trav- eling dress and went to work. She had not forgotten her cunning. The abiding places of the dishes came back to her; the recipes of long ago were swiftly recalled. The young woman watched her quick movements with fascinated eyes. Mary wanted to pre- pare the evening meal alone, and she had her way. Presently she glanced a little anx- iously at the clock. Then she smoothed down her apron and went forward to the sitting room door. The old man did not hear her approach. She looked at him a moment before she spoke. No; he was not greatly changed -grayer and thinner; that was all. "Father," she said. Ile looked around. hig "Why, it's Mary," he said. "I was scat just dreaming of you. I had fallen The asleep.

A story is being told about a German who has a hotel far down town. An artist -one of those barroom artists who make pictures on mirrors with soap -called on the German the other day and asked for some work. "Well," the German said, "you might paint a r brown bear on mysign. n. How much would you charge to do it?" "Two dol- lars," the artist answered. Thereupon the contract was made, and the bear was painted. At the end of the job the artist said, Don't you want me to pftint a chain on the bear?" "Would you charge ex- tra for that?" said the German. "Yes. That would cost $1 extra." "Then I can't afford to have it alone," The art- ist departed. That night it rained, and, lo, in the morning the bear had vanish- ed from the sign! The rain had washed it away. The Gorman sent for the painter at once. "My bear," he said reproachful- ly, "is gone." The other • answered, "Well, I wanted to put a chain on it, didn't I?" The German then banded out $3, $2 for the painting of another bear, the third for a chain to make the pleture permanent. _. The chained bear now remains upon the sign impervious to the weather. - Philadelphia Record. A Terrible Talker. A well known Milwaukee lawyer with a weakness for long stories was a visitor at Madison "once upon a time," as the story books put it. He saw upon the register of the Park hotel the name of Colonel Gabriel Bouck of Oshkosh and decided that he was in duty bound to call upon that Nestor of the Wisconsin bar, especially as they had both occupied the position of grand master of the grand lodge of Wisconsin Masons. IIe called on Mr. Bouck In Ills room in the hotel and found the Oshkoshian in his shirt sleeves, yawning. He be- gan en Masonry. First he gave his views of the brotherhood, from the building of Solomon's temple "wlthont sound of tool or iron" down to date, and then he started in on the chapter. Finally, startled by an extra yawn, he broke off bis story with: "Well, Gabe, as I have been appoint- ed trustee for the Asylum For the Deaf and Dumb I think I had better go to bed. I have to take an early train for Janesville." "For land's sake! Is it possible that you are going to learn to talk with your hands too?" came the blunt reply from the old lawyer, -Milwaukee Senti- nel. Which of Tour Eye■ Cries? It seems a positively absurd question to ask, "Which of your eyes cries?" In an everyday. common or garden cry it is well known that salt tears make their appearance and rush away down the face seemingly as fast from one as from the other. whichever the "other" may be, but if careful note is made, more especially wvith emotional people, it will be found that one of the eyes has a special emotional tendency and often opens the tear valve before Its companion has decided upon the un- happy event. Probably the best method of discov- ering the emotional eye is to attend a pathetic stage piny and when the weep- ing period comes along look out for tear No. 1. The writer attended such a piece re- cently and was somewhat astonished to find that all his grief came from the right eye. Whether the solution to the problem is to be found in the fact that he was leaning on his right arum must and can only be decided by an expert. An Editor and a Golden Hair. "One beautiful spring morning en editor found a golden hair lying be- tween the pages of n manuscript." writes Edward Bol: in The Ladles' Home Journal. "The moment he reach- ed the page it gracefully ully fluttered out. Flushed with excitement, the editor caught it. It was not his hair, he ar- gued, therefore It was not his property. Then, again, he thought, the owner probably lost it and might need ft. So he put it back. IIe was a methodical man, and he replaced it exactly as he had found it. He was not many days older when be received a letter proving by the very hair he bad so dexterously caught and conscientiously replaced that he never had read or even opened the manuscript of the writer. Could anything have been a clearer ease against the editor? Most certainly not. It was conclusive and final, don't you see?" A Little Drama. In the morning a workman kissed his wife and children and went to help a hundred others tear down a building. During the day he slipped and fell. Then came an ambulance and a hos- pital and then a bit of black crape on an obscure door. His children went on without their father. His wife, whose life had been bound up in that of her husband, grew pale and died. Helplessness killed the little ones. Yet in speaking of the accident men said: "It was not so bad. Only one man was killed." -Chicago Journal. Frogs as Scavengers. Frogs are fine scavengers, destroying great quantities of decaying animal substance in springs and brooks and keeping the water pure, thus proving themselves most worthy of kind treat- ment and preservation. They devour, too, great numbers of insects, includ- ing flies and mosquitoes. In spite of their queer shape, they are remarkably expert jumpers and swimmers, and many a boy has learned from them both how to play leapfrog and how to swim. Most Curious Thing.

In order to clean bronze the article should be immersed in boiling water, then rubbed with a piece of flannel dipped in soapsuds and dried with a! soft cloth and chamois leather. used Her Nationality. Recently a bent old lady entered one of the Salina street stores and upon be- ing asked what she wished to see made reply 1n what the clerk judged to be an unknown language. A second inquiry proving no more satisfactory, the clerk excused herself and went in search of one of her colleagues who is of German descent. "Oh, Miss L.," she entreated, "won't you come over to my counter for a min- ute? There's a poor old German lady there, and I can't understand a word she says." Miss L. followed and, pausing before the stool on which the would be cus- tomer was seated, inquired in her sweetest tones: "Are you a German?" The "poor old German lady" raised her handkerchief to her lips and evi- dently extricated something from her mouth. Then, bending a look of the utmost scorn upon the clerk, she ex- claimed in a rich and unmistakable brogue: "Garman, is It? Indade an I'm not. But I've got a new set of false tathe, bad scran to thim! An now, if ye plase, will wan of yez wait on me?" - Syracuse Herald. Entertaining Squirrels. Alive In his native woods the squirrel is an amusing little fellow, and he will entertain you by the hour if you will let him. You probably become first aware of his presence by his dropping things 'on your head. Then he plays hide and seek with you as he zigzags up a tree. While he pauses for thought, or pos- sibly to wash his face, another squirrel comes scudding along the branches of It neighboring tree, and away they go, one chasing the other, jumping froth branch tip to branch tip, racing up and down the trunk and making the bark fly. Sometimes one loses his footing and falls headlong 20 or 30 feet to the ground, landing there with a force that makes him bounce. You think every grain of sense must be knocked out of' the small body, but he only blinks a bit, and, after a moment spent perhaps in letting the stars set that must have suddenly risen before his eyes, he streaks it up the nearest tree after the other fellow. Long after they have disappeared from sight you hear them chattering together up among the leaves like two watchmen's rattles, - Philadelphia Record. Her Opinion of Asparagus. It seems that asparagus is not grown in the tropics -at least it was not grown at Rio de Janeiro when a certain Amer- ican gentleman, who had lived several years in the Brazilian capital, went with his wife and 8 -year-old daughter to visit friends living near Buenos Ayres, a part of the continent where the climate is better adapted to the fruits and vegetables of the temperate regions. At the first dinner after their arrival the visitors were treated to some fresh asparagus. The little 8 -year-old daugh- ter was likewise served with the as- paragus, but she evidently did not think much of it as an article of food. Her mother tried for some time to coax her to eat it. Finally the little girl, taken between the rudeness of whispering at the table and the rude- ness of not eating her food, leaned over and, with a choking voice and quiver- ing lip. whispered to her mother: "Mam- ma, It is not nice. It's raw at one end and rotten at the other." An English Explanation. This is the way a prominent English paper explains it: The president of the United States, who receives a salary of £10,000 a year, must pay for all the food consum- ed at the White House, and the ex- penses of getting up an elaborate state Sinner are not small. Cigars and wines the president buys, and they must be of the best. He has to main- tain his own equipage. The govern- ment, however, allows him a valet; al- so a clerk, who opens an his letters. All other personal servants must be engaged by the master and mistress of the White House. Scandinavian English. Sir Herbert Maxwell gives in his Memories of the Months" the follow- ing copy of a beguiling advertisement set forth by a Scandinavian who could "spik Inglis" and who had a shrewd idea of luring tourists to his salmon river: Look Her' Salmon! The honorable travelers are averted to, that underaigned, who lives in Fjorde pr. Vol. den Romedals county, Norway, short or long time, hires out a good Salmonrlver. Good lodging finds. DIME MAAu. A Combination Tree. A pine tree and a birch tree have grown- so close together in Woolwich, Me., that one trunk serves for both, sending forth pine, branches on one side and birch on the other. The union seems a happy one in spite of the fact that the two trees are as widely sep- arated by the botanists as two well can be, and the gnarled branches of the pine embrace the birch in a most affectionate manner. They Were Discovered. When they went into the hotel, he was determined to do nothing to betray tke tact that they were newly married. He took up the pen for his first regis- tration under the new conditions and with an old married man look and sweep of indif'f'erence wrote, "Mr. and Mrs. Mary Tompkins." "Will you have the bridal chamber, Mr. Tompkins?" asked the clerk. -New York Herald. Sorry He Spoke. Guest (Indignantly) - Waiter, there are feathers in the soup!

"I wouldn't fight, my good man," said the peacemaker. "But be called me a thief, sir!" ex- claimed one of the combatants. "And he called me a lazy loafer!" cried the other. - "Well," said the peacemaker serenely, "I wouldn't fight over a difference of opinion. You may both be right."-TIt- Bits. A Slight Deficit.

Entering the shop, the stranger paused before a case of sample photographs and, pointing to one, said, "Mister, what d'yer charge fer takin picters like that?" "Three dollars a dozen," replied the clerk. Thrusting his hands into his pockets, he turned thoughtfully toward the wag- onful of offspring.

A good story is going the rounds of the offices of the Metropolitan Street Railway company concerning the won- derful presence of mind displayed re- cently by a new cbnductor on one of the company's trolley cars. This par- ticular car was bowling along up Broadway recently when it was hailed and boarded by a company inspector. The official hurriedly counted the pas- sengers in the car and found that there were nine. Then he cast his eye up to the register and found that there had been only eight fares rung up. He dis- closed his identity to the new conduct- or and called attention to the discrep- ancy. Slowly and painfully the new hand counted over his passengers and then scanned his register, "Begorra, an you're might, sir," he said and promptly stopped the car. "Say," lie demanded, addressing the passengers in an authoritative man- ner, "wan o' youse fellows'll hov to git off the car -r." -New York Times. Cleaning 011 Paintings. An art fournal suggests raw potatoes to clean dil paintings. Have a few po- tatoes at hand, each cut in halves. The fresh surface is dampened slightly with ,old water and used to rub the canvas. As the potatoes show soli the surface is sliced off and the rubbing continued. This process will create a little lather, which should be wiped off as fast as it accumulates with a clean, damp sponge. When the whole vanvas is cleaned, it should be washed over lightly with clean water from which the chill has been taken and finally the water carefully wiped off with an old clean silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to clean paintings are frequently in hear- say evidence, but this description of the process may be of value. It is sug- gested by way of reasonable caution that the experiment should be tried first upon a canvas of trifling value and upon one corner of that. The Collection. While lecturing his congregation rather strongly on a recent Sunday about slack attendance and small col- lections a minister of a church in an English city used the following elo- quent and forcible sentence: "Yes, brethren, our collection of a little over 13 last Sunday Included no fewer than 500 halfpennies. We all know about the widow's mite, and I am sure we are very glad to receive it; but I don't think there are 500 widows in this con- gregation!" Witness My Hand. - In the early days only a few schol- ars, priests and clerks knew how to write. It was then customary to sign a document by smearing the hand with ink and impressing it upon the paper, accompanied by the words, "Witness my hand." Afterward the seal was in- troduced as a substitute for the hand mark and was used with the words above quoted, the two forming the sig- nature. This is the origin of the ex- pression as used in modern documents. A Great Relief, Mrs. Catterson-I thought' I would come and tell you that your Harold has been fighting with my Bobbie and set- tle the matter if I could.

DEFECTIVE PAGE The Captain of an Ocean Line=, Nowadays the captain is the host of tho ship. IIe is no longer the gruff, rough seadog in a pea jacket of years gone by. He must observe some of the i social amenities; he must talk to the passengers now and then when the weather is fine; he must take his seat at table when he may; he must be a kind of diplomat also and possess wit and tact and a patience sublime; he must see that no jealousies develop among the passengers. I have been told of the very obliging captain who, to please the lady who asked to be shown the equator while the ship was in southern seas, pasted a hair across the large end of a spyglass and told the lady to look. And the lady through the glass declared she could see the equa- tor "as plainly as A B C." One other polite captain I have heard of -one who directed an officer on the bridge to "do as the lady wishes," when the lady t'e quested that the captain steer the ship over to the horizon so she could see what the horizon was like. -Captain Jameson in Collier's.

I asked the chief, whom one of the two or three listless attendants called for us, why the prisoners did not run away- "Oh," he replied, "they would be caught and beaten again and kept longer. Nott• they will get out soon." But as I looked at them I saw they did not run because they could not. The life was beaten out of them. The keepers brought the heavy red cord with a brass hook at the end and trussed up a man with it to show how the beating was done and then brought us the stiff rods with which victims were pounded over the shins and thighs until the beaten spots were sim- ply masses of , festering rottenness. There was a room, black, foul, leprous, in which the men were fastened in the stocks. The Black Hole of Calcutta was scarcely less merciful than this, - Ladies' Monthly. Soapsuds Dessert, The tribes on the coast of British Co- lumbia hold a festival in the autumn, the crowning item of which is the par- taking of a few spoonfuls of a bowl of soapsuds. They gather in the dingy huts, which are hung with the staple food -dried salmon. For light they stick into the ground, head downward, a silvery fish about five inches long, set fire to the tail, and they have a torch, for the fish burns steadily. After eating of various unsavory foods there comes the great treat. This is a bowl of a frothy, soapy mixture, obtained by crushing in a not overclean manner the sapoliti, or soap berries, and squeezing out the juice. This is as much like soapsuds as it is possible to conceive. The natives sip it from spoons of black wood, neatly carved, of which they think a great deal. The Chinaonan'a Dress. Those who understand the subject have to admit that when it comes to the question of rational dress the Chi- naman has -very much the best of it. American clothes are not made for the. performance of much stooping or do- mestic gymnastics, but the Chinaman, in his loose, easy fitting clothes, is as free to stoop, jump, run or turn head- springs as a small boy in bathing. In a Chinese suit of clothes you can lie down and sleep with the same amount of comfort that you can stand up and walk. Comets of the Past Century. During the nineteenth century 235 new comets were discovered as against 62 in the eighteenth century. The nineteenth century also beheld a great- er number of large and brilliant com- ets than did its predecessor. The finest of these were the comets of 1811, 1843, 1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1800 only one periodical collet was known, Halley's. Now many are known, of which at least 17 have been seen at more than one return to perihelion. Bound to Enjoy Herself.

Some Suggestions About the Piaui ing and the Care That Should Exercised In the Avoidance Both Expense and Disease. Nowadays the plumber and bis are your true household specters. L1 other specters, careful common se will put them to rout and confusi nine times in ten. Wise men have be studying this subject ever so long devise plumbing that would take ca of itself, but they have not yet s heeded. Neither are they likely without a revolution is mechan whereby the tondeney of fluids alwa to seek their own level may be elim nated and other things as wonderf brought to pass. So long as knowled remains nearly static so long will behoove every housemistress to lo well to the usage of her pipes and b traps. A bit of rag or even string, a bur match, a wisp of hair, seems a very 1 tie thing, one that the pipes can car off with no possible hurt, but the ra lay hanging over the bend of the tra may serve as a siphon to take away t water seal, which is all that stands b tween the household and unlimite sewer gas. And the rag may keep o doing it for weeks and weeks unt deadly disease is rampant. A string snarled and twisted oma work the sante ill. The match end, o course, ought to float away harmies but Is very much likelier to be caugl in some eddy of the flush water, fain med Into a crevice and there to take t Itself other solid particles until the form a clot both offensive and dange ous. As for hair, there is no end to th harm it harbors. A wisp quickly form Itself into a sort of strainer, catchin and holding all that passes. Asid from that, it has a trick of lodging i the most inconvenient places, catchin upon the least roughness inside th pipe and staying there until by accre tion it has clogged the whole space. Hair has special affinity for bits o soap. Solid soap, by the way, should never be sent down the pipes. Very strong soapsuds even is objectionable unless you follow 1t with a flood of clean water, preferably hot water. Coffee grounds and ten leaves either clog a pipe very soon or else, if the flush water prevents that, wear it through quickly, partly by mechanical actko n, partly by chemical. Neither should ever be permitted In a sink. Even if you are wise enough to keep out all grease, and thus make sure that the grounds shall get safe away from your own pipes, in the sewer they may come in contact with grease from pipes less carefully kept and cake and clog your whole pipe system, making neces- sary costly and inconvenient unclog- ging. Every kitchen ought to have its grease can, emptied once a week in winter and in summer every three days. All sorts of refuse fat should go into it, even the scrapings from plates and dishes. Greasy water, as from boiling hams or corned beef, should be allowed to cool thoroughly, then have the grease carefully taken off before it goes down the pipes. Skillets and frying pans ought to be filled with very hot soda water and let stand half an hour before washing. This gives time for the soda to partly saponify the grease and keep it from sticking to the pipe or caking on top of the trap. In scouring faucets be careful to keep the scouring grit out of the joints. Even the finest particles cut away screw threads turning many times a day. After scouring also take care to let the water run at least a minute be- fore catching any for use. In wash- ing sandy vegetables, as spinach, tur- nips, potatoes, use a big pan and drain off the dirty water, so the sand may be caught. Even a spoonful of sand go- ing down a pipe will cut and wear it more than a hogshead of water. Milky water is one of the hardest things to manage. Even a small quan- tity daily fouls pipes unless the milky water is followed by a flushing of soda water moderately strong, with a lime - water flush about every three days. The limewater Is made more effective by adding salt to it. Sea salt is best. Put a lump as big as the fist in an earthen or wooden vessel along with twice the bulk of quicklime and cover with four gallons of hot water. Stir well and let settle. Pour the clear liquid down the pipes and follow it in half an hour with a flush of clear wa- ter boiling hot. Thus every kind of a sink may be kept sweet and fresh.— New York Sun. e-• Be of bill ka nse on en to re uc- to its ys 1- ul ge it ok er nt it- ry g.

Scheme For Seiling a Farm mud Us Dramatic Climax. "Some years ago," said the narrator, "an oil boom hit Litchfield, Ills., and everybody for miles around was seen sniffing for oil and every stranger sus- pected of being an expert looking for a good thing. An old farmer named Loo- mis had a big place three miles out of town, which would have been a fortune for him had he not been possessed of a mania for swapping, manifest in a per- ennial attempt to trade off his land for twice its value. "When the boom was at the top notch Loomis received a visitor who took so much interest in the farm, so liked its appearance, location, etc., that the ofd farmer scented a petroleum man and saw vlsinns of incalculable wealth but, being a shrewd man, Loomis did not care to take any unnecessary chances with Providence, and on the quiet he sent the hired man out the back way with orders to dufnp the ker- osene can into the well. The visitor liked the entire place, inspected the barn, the chicken yard and then, as if by chance, asked for a drink of water. "Loomis was waiting for that and hauled up a brimming bucket before the man's own eyes and poured him out a gourdful of liquid with a fine, opa- lescent scum upon It. The visitor smell- ed the stuff, tasted it, made a wry face and asked if the water was always like that. 'Oh, yes,' said Loomis, 'but you soon get accustomed to the taste, and our doctor says this is the finest water on earth for the stomach."'Well, I am ding danged if I'll ever get used to It,' was the unexpected response. 'I am looking for a farm, not an oil well, and if I have got to haul lay drinking water three miles from Litchfield 1 guess I'd rather buy nearer town.' "It took Loomis six months to get the taste of oil out of his well, and by that time the boom was over, and nothing was left of the o11 craze but rotting der- ricks and abandoned shafts."—New Or- leans Times -Democrat BOOK MAXIMS.

They contain considerable potassium and sodium salts, magnesi- um, a little Iron and about 85 per cent of water. Apples, being rich In pectin, form readily into jelly. They also con- tain free organic acids as well as salts, such a malates, citrates and tartrates. They are quite laxative, more so if tak- en late at night or early In the morn- ing with a glass of water. Their nutri- tive value is not much, as they are largely composed of water. For in- valids apples are best when baked and eaten either plain or served with cream. —Ledger Monthly. A Drop of Water.

He might have run away from home and evaded the Tesponsibility, but he didn't think of !t He just sold papers. At the loop on Fifteenth street a crowd was gathered, waiting for the evening cars. A ragged young girl was selling flowers at the Fifteenth street end of the waiting station when a man, rushing to catch his car, knocked her against the side of the building. With- out stopping, probably not having no- ticed what he had done, he continued his rush, when the boy stepped in front him defiantly. "Say, what do you want to knock a girl down for? Hit me. I'ni big enough." The man paused in surprise and then glanced around. He saw the flower girl picking up her wares and under- stood. Without a moment's hesitation he went back to her, gave her enough money to make her eyes sparkle with joy and said: "I'm sorry, my dear, that I hurt you. I didn't see." Then, turning to the boy, he continued: "You said you were big enough, young man, but you're a great deal bigger than you think. Men like you will have a lot to do with keeping this old world in a condition of self respect." Then he caught his car, and the boy and the girl stood there wondering what he meant—Denver Times. DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN. A Robbery That Was Witnessed by a Woman Daring Sleep. A lady spending the summer in the country, some 20 miles from her city residence, dreamed that the latter was robbed, she herself being a witness of the robbery. In her dream she saw two men, one of whom limped, in the act of rummaging some trunks in the hall. A candle stuck by means of its own wax on the newel post illuminated the scene with a dim light. After finishing their work with the trunks the men went up stairs to a closet, from which they removed cur- tains and hangings stored for the sum- mer months. The dreamer observed that they overlooked her most valuable curtains, which had been placed well back on upper shelves. Suddenly she seemed to be transport- ed to her birthplace at Auburn, N. Y., where she especially noted the bronze figure of an Indian which surmounts the prison edifice. At breakfast the next morning she related her vivid dream to those pres- ent, five of whom are now living and vouch for the fact. Subsequently it was found that the city house had been entered and robbed. On the newel post were the marks of the candle. The urtains had all been taken but the best set, which were found where the dream- er had seen them. Suspicion was directed to a painter who had been at work on the house, who was lame and who disappeared immediately after the robbery. Inves- tigation of this man's character showed that be had served a term in the Au- burn penitentiary.—Health Culture. France and the Potato. There was much difficulty in intro- ducing the potato into France. It was only toward the end of the reign of Louis XIV that It began to be used. The learned had opposed its introduc- tion systematically, saying It produced leprosy, and the common people re- fused to test it even on their live stock. A trick at last established it. Fields were planted all over France with po- tatoes and carefully guarded until the tubers were ripe, 1t being given out that these fields were growing a new thing specially for the king and that trespassers would be prosecuted. Now, the laws at that time were severe. A man might be hanged when he hunted in the wild forest, for the game was the seigneurs, almost each one of whom kept his private gallows. Tres- pass against the king implied, there- fore, terrible punishment. The danger of the punishment proved Itself an alluring bait. As the contriv- er, wise in foresight, had seen, the fields that were purposely left unguard- ed were pillaged right and left, the po- tatoes eaten, some kept and planted and the tuber at last effectually intro- duced in France. Irving's Intensity. The piercing eyes and intense ex- pression of Henry Irving once had the effect of making a fellow actor alto- gether forget that he was on the stage at all. It occurred In Manchester dur- ing a performance of "Macbeth," and in the scene where Macbeth says to one of the murderers, "There's blood upon thy face!" Irving put so much earnest- ness into hie words that the murderer forgot his proper answer (" 'Tis Ban - quo's, then") and replied in a startled voice: "Is there? Great Scott!" He fancied, as be afterward said, that he bad broken a blood vessel. — Ledger Monthly. Of Two Evils the Lesser.

Dexterity and Daring of the Cowboy In Cutting Off the Head of the Rep- tile After Its Ineffectual Attempt to Strike.

"Wl I first went west, I punched cattle the Sunset ranch, one of the largest southern Colorado. 1 was a tenderfo fresh from the east, but no swell he about me. That saved me a lot trouble.

The English Are Unailitary, Partly from historical and partly per- haps from racial causes the English are essentially unmilitary. They resent the control of soldiers. They distrust military ideals. No government that ever existed in this country was more unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell and his major generals. Its unpopu- larity left an indelible mark on English institutions. For many years it made it impossible to have a standing army. Even when the course of events made ft necessary to concede that much to the military necessities of the time it still remained a maxim for centuries with all politicians that as little power as possible must be granted to the sol- diers; that their business was to fight our wars, and, this being done, that there was little or no place for them in the body politic. We do not think it necessary to de- fend this attitude of mind. Like most popular feelings, it is largely unjust, but also, like many popular feelings, it is based to some extent on a true con- ception. Politically, using the word in its largest sense, the domination of the military idea in a state is calamitous. It tends, we believe, to destroy individ- uality and is a serious menace to indi- vidual liberty. — English Monthly Re- view. The Third Handle, The best account of the origin of the loving cup comes from the late Lord Lyons, British embassador at Paris. Henry IV of France while hunting be- came separated from his companions and, feeling thirsty, called at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid on handing It to him as he sat on horseback neglected to present the han- dle. Some wine was spilled, and his majesty's white gauntlets were soiled. While riding home he bethought him that a two handled cup would prevent a recurrence of this, so his majesty had a two handled cup made at the royal potteries and sent it to the inn. On his next visit he called again for wine, when, to his astonishment, the maid. having received instructions from her mistress to be very careful of the king's cup, presented it to him by holding It herself by each of its han- dles. At once the happy idea struck the king of a cup with three handles, which was promptly acted upon, as his majesty quaintly said, "Surely, out of three handles I shall be able to get one!" Hence the loving cup. Spirits Above and Below, "Many years ago," writes a New Hampshire clergyman in the Boston Journal, "it Wsa tiia ouptom to otorc liquors in church cellars in Boston; not all of them, but many of them. As late as 1850, and probably later, the cellar of the stone church on Bowdoin square was used by the Trull distillery near by (Pitts street, if I am right) for the ripening in hogsheads of New Eng- land rum. Some one found a hymn- book in a pew and copied in there the following verse: "There are spirits above and spirits below, The spirits of love and the spirits of woe. The spirits above are the spirit. of love; The spirits below are the spirits of woe. The spirit above is the spirit divine; The spirits below are the spirits of wine. "I have myself frequently watched the men putting hogsheads of rum into the cellars or taking them out." Four Perfect Women. The prophet Mohammed is reported to have said that "among men there had been many perfect, but not more than four of the other sex have attain- ed perfection — to wit, Asiah, Mary, Khadijah and Fatima." Asiah was the wife of the pharaoh of the Exodus. She forsook the faith of her fathers, on account of which her husband subject- ed her to many cruelties. The Virgin Mary was the second perfect woman, Mohammed stating that "she had been exalted above all the women of the world." Khadijah was the first wife of the prophet, "a princess among wo- men." Fatima, according to Moham- med, was the fourth perfect woman, she being his beloved daughter. The Hill Would Grow. "I've brought you a little brother," said the doctor. "No," said the impossible child; "the stork brought my little brother." "Well, I'm the stork," said the doctor. "Ilut where is your bill?" said the im- possible child.

When the general described the battle and the awful slaughter, "Lincoln wept like a child." "While the two armies were converg- ing," said Lincoln, "I went into my room and prayed as I never prayed be- fore. I told God that if we were to win the battle he must do it, for I bad done all that I could. I went from my room with a great load lifted from my shoulders, and from that moment I never had a doubt as to the result. We shall hear good news from Grant, who has been pounding away at Vicksburg for so many months. I am in a pro- phetic mood today, Siokles, and I say that you will get well." "The doctors do not say so." "I don't care, Sickles, you will get well," persisted the president. And that afternoon, General Sickles goes on to say, a telegram was receiv- ed from General Grant announcing the fall of Vicksburg. His own recovery soon followed. A Miller's Monument, A big millstone monument over a modest miller's grave is a unique sight near Graytown, O. The millstone is lo- cated in the center of an old burying ground and can be seen a mile away, coming down the hill. It marks the last resting place of a happy miller of the old school, who knew not the cares or worries of a ris- ing or falling grain market, but who ground his corn and wheat for bis neighbors and lived contentedly on his small profits. Chiseled on the back of the monu- ment is this poem: A MILLER'S MONUMENT. [A millstone taken from his mill.] Beneath this stone a miller lies, Who left the world before the rise Of modem ways of making flour And hence passed many a happy hour. He was not forced to speculate Nor on Chicago's movement wait. 'He did not care for foreign trade, But sold his neighbors all he made. Cables and telegrams were rare; The markets did not make him swear. Small was his mill, his profits round; Clear was his head, his slumbers sound. He envied none, he was envied not And died contented with his lot. —Cincinnati Star. Matrimony In Gilbert Islands, Women of the Gilbert islands being merely regarded as cattle or any other property, writes Arthur Inkersley In The Overland Monttly, the matrimoni- al knot is easily tied and just as easily untied. If a man fancies a girl, he seizes her by the hair of the head, wherever she may be, despite her pro- testations, and drags her away to his home. Her resistance is not often seri- ous, the pretense of refusal being due to the coquettishness inherent in the sex. When the couple reach the house of the groom, a wedding feast is fur- nished forthwith, to which all the im- mediate friends of the bride and bride- groom are invited. But an acceptance of the invitation implies the contribu- tion of some viands to the entertain- ment. Matrimony is attended by no further ceremony than this. When a husband grows weary of his wife, he simply orders her to leave him, and if she does not he turns her out of doors. Never Lett the Road. An old negro in a neighborhood town arose in prayer meeting and said: "Bredderin and sisterin, I been a mighty mean nigger in my time.

A very queer plant belongs to the pea family and is called the "moving plant" on account of the manner in which its leaves turn around of their own accord or go by jerks, without be- ing touched or in any way disturbed.

The pursuit of life, of laughter, of charming sensations, of intelligent apprehensions, of individual development of character—it may all be more important, more vital to hu- man existence than the preoccupation to rule oneself and others, to make laws and to tight,—Steevens' "Glimpses of Three Nations." The Siegle Thought. "Ab," sighed the fond mother, "two souls with but a single thought!" "Yes," echoed paterfamilias, "and less than one dollar. I don't know how they're going to make it, Mary, unless— er—perhaps that single thought they've got is that papa's going to put up for two."—Denver Times. Coaeession to Superstition. "Thirteen dollars and a half seems r high price for such a comparatively short trip," said the man with the traveling bag In his hand. "We thought people would rather pay that than $13," replied the agent of the steamer line with an explana- tory and apologetic cough.—Chicago Tribune. BETRAYAL. Opt of the chilling rain and fog That hid the mountain from our Ade A dusky cloud came floating down At early dawn of light. The cloud dropped softly to the lake Amid a sound of whirring wings And spread into agraceful line A host of living things. We hailed this burst of joyous life; The sunless day seemed dark no more, When suddenly a shot rang out And echoed round the shore. The waterfowl were nature's guests, But they were doomed, and all that clay The shots pealed forth, and on the waves The dead and dying lay. At last into the brooding mist There vanished, softly aa it came, A broken flock, with plumage torn, After that day of shame. —Mary Thacher Higginson in Youth's Compan• ion. • UNINHABITED ISLANDS. There Are Thousands of Them In the Indian Ocean. If you should want an island—that is, an uninhabited island—for the purpose of occupying it alone, Robinson Crusoe like, or to use it for romantic fiction or for any other purpose, to the exclusion of all others in the world, you need have no trouble in finding one if you see fit to make a journey to the Indian ocean. In the waters between Madagascar and India you can find more than 15,000 of them, where there Is not a human be- ing and where you can, if you will, be monarch of all you survey. An English traveler has recently been among the small Islands that dot the western end of the Indian ocean to make an inventory of them and re- ports that he counted 10,100 and found only about 600 of them inhabited. Now, there is a good chance for any one who may want an island. These particular islands are not large, as islands go, but very many of them are stiflicient for the purpose of a Rob- inson Crusoe or any other novel hero or for even a small colony of ship- wrecked mariners or other persons who might be cast on one of them or seek for the purpose of making a home pret- ty much out of the busy world. Some of them are only an acre or two, well elevated above the tide, while others are a quarter ora mile in diam- eter and running from that up to a mile or two in length and a quarter or less of the length in breadth. Many of them are granitic structures that rise steeply from 20 to 100 feet, well cover- ed with rich soil, through which small fresh water streams hurry to the sea, which they reach after flowing over beaches of glistening calcareous sand that are begirt by coral reefs, which form walls about the islands. How He Saved Hie Dinner. In the little town of Arundel there is a taxidermist who is gifted with won- derful presence of mind. Here is an instance: Some time ago a gentleman called at his shop with a cock pheasant, which he desired to have skinned, stating at the same time that he did not require the body. This quite suited the taxi- dermist, who 'thought the pheasant would do for his dinner on the morrow. However, later in the day the gentle- man called again and said that he would take the body away. The tax- idermist replied that it was unusual for customers to take the bodies away, but that he had no objection, and he fetched the bird, which his wife had put on a plate and covered with flour. "Ah!" exclaimed the gentleman. "It looks very nice. But what is this white powder with which it is covered?" "Oh, that," replied the taxidermist quietly, "is arsenic. I always cover the bodies with that until I can dis- pose of them." "Ar -arsenic!" stammered the gentle- man. "Why, I thought that the bird would be good to eat. Thank you, I won't trouble to take it away with me. Good day." The taxidermist had saved bis din- ner.—London Answers. Rade Justice, A certain Arizona justice of the peace, whose knowledge of the law was never gained from books or actual practice before the bar, was hearing an assault and battery case. The lawyer for the defense was shouting his arguments when the court said: "That will do. Sit down." He then adjusted his spectacles and sagely observed: "Prisoner, sthand up! Accordin tah th' law an th' evydince—an there is no evydlnce-01 fopnd yez guilty, sor, an foine yez $50. If yez air guilty, faith, it's a very light sintince, an if yez are not guilty it'll be a mighty good lesson for yez!"—Detroit Free Press. The Prudent Scotsman. A cautious Scotsman, 85 years old, had saved enough to purchase a piece of freehold land upon which he had had his eye for some time. He repair- ed to the freeholder and opened nego- tiations for the purchase. The free- holder, however, informed him that for some reason or other he could not part with the freehold, but said he would give him a lease for 999 years. This, he was informed, was practically the same thing. "Na, na," said the aged one, shaking his gray head; "time soon rins awa'."—London Outlook. The Only Difference.

To the Editor of The Gazette: I have found, in applying wh Prof. S. A. Forbes, State Entomo gist of Illinois, calls the combinati method of preventing chinch bu from going from one field to anoth and for ridding corn fields of the published in The Gazette of July fit that an ounce of prevention is wor say number of pounds of cure. On two sides of my rye field, wbi was infested with chinch bugs, w fodder corn. It was not until t rye was about ready to cut, which the way they had not injured, that discovered they were Attacking ni corn. As it is sweet Coro, which much better for fodder than ordina corn, and having been planted lat had just reached a tender and succu lent state, it was especially accepta ble to them. They seem to move i companies and in certain directions Although both fields were equall accessible they had taken complet possession of the smaller field, man stalks of the corn being black wit them for several inches from tie ground. They had entered the othe field, but not in such numbers an were only about a third -of the wa through it. As my rye field was alive with th migrating hordes, I had a strip si feet wide plowed about it in which had traps made. I then went t work spraying my corn with th and of coal oil soap suds recommended by Prof. Forbes. In making tkis emulsion an ordinary bicycle foot pump can be used. In my smaller field, as the ground was filled with bugs, although the emul- sion washed them off the corn and killed them. others took their place so rapidly that I made up my mind that it was not worth while to try to save this field and turned my atten- tion to the one where they had only begun to work. Here I was suc- cessful. By keeping the protection about the field in order and using the emulsion persistently, I have cleared my field and kept it cleared of chinch hugs and my corn is doing finely. As the small grains are being cut, now is the time the chinch bugs will attack corn. This can be prevented by plowing about the field of corn at once and watching the exposed por- tion and spraying it as soon as the chinch bug appears. In the estimate of thirty cents an acre for clearing a field not badly infested, and seventy- five cents where the bugs are numer- ous the work is not taken into account, and at this season of the year, is an important item as the work must be done carefully and constant vigilance is the price of success. Still it is worth while, for the dif- ference between a devastated field and a fieldof ripened corn, or even ]natured corn fodder, is a good price for the labor as well as a big return on the investment.

Nesbitt as to the whereabouts of his playmate finally told of the drowning. The sympathy of many friends is extend- ed to the bereaved mother and rela- tives in their sad affliction. Randolph Items.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Ca., Toledo, 0., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoon- ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer 9100 for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi- monials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Lathrop, on west Ninth Street, from tuberculosis,on Tuesday, at 9:40 a. m., after a protracted illness. The deceased was born in Lake City, Nov. 19th, 1859. She was a gradu- ate of the state normal school at Winona, and a former teacher in the public schools at Red Wing. During the past ten years Miss Lathrop has resided in this city. She possessed a lovely disposition, and with her noble qualities of spirit and character endeared herself to all who knew her, and was an inspiration to the young people, particularly of the Methodist Church, having not only been an effi- cient and earnest worker in all de- partments of parochial work, but was formerly president of the literary department of the Epworth League and a teacher in the Sunday school. She was very conscientious and high principled, and will be missed by all, but especially by her most intimate friends, who knew her best. The sympathy of the community is ex- tended to her bereaved father and relatives. The funeral services were held at the house on Thursday, at two p. m., the Rev. J. W. Stebbins, assisted by the Rev. F. M. Rule, of St. Paul, officiating. The remains were forwarded on the 4:15 train for interment in the family lot at Rochester. Mr. L. L. Parsons received a tele- gram Thursday announcing the death of his granddaughter, Mrs. Orvis Renshaw, taking place in Minneapolis on Monday evening, as a result of an operation preformed for appendicitis. Her age was about twenty-eight years. The news proved quite a shock to our people, for only a month ago she and her husband passed through here upon their wedding trip east. Her maiden natne was Miss Pearl Mc Donald. She was born and reared here, and a gruate of the Hastings high school and also from the state normal school at Winona. For some years past she had been a teacher in the public schools of Minneapolis and Duluth. Mrs. Renshaw was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McDonald, now of Sisseton, S. D. Mr. Patrick McKenna, an early and well known resident of Hastings, died from cancer at the residence of his son, James McKenna, in Empire, Wedesday morning, after a protract- ed illness, at the advanced age of eighty-four years. The deceased was a former member of Company H, Tenth Minnesota regiment, and also a mem- ber of Peller Post No. 89. He leaves two sons and two daughters, James McKenna, of Empire, Owen Mc Kenna, of Minneapolis, Mrs. Timothy Brennan, of Webster, Rice County, and Mrs. John B. McCann, of Taco- ma. The funeral was held from St. John's Church, Vermillion, on Thurs- day, at eight a. m., the Rev. William Lette officiating. Interment by the side of his wife in Bellewood Ceme- tery. A Sensational Marriage. Mr. Howard Lyman, manager, and Miss Ethel Van Brocklin, treasurer, of Si Slocum's comedy company, were quietly married here by Justice Steph- en Newell Friday evening, the mar- riage taking place just before the per- formance begun at the Yanz Theatre. The groom and bride are from Mil- waukee, and were with A ' Merry Chase Co. last season. He is one of the famous Lyman Twins. It was not until after the entertainment at the hall that anyone, even the mem- bers of the company, knew of the marriage taking place. It will doubt- less cause genuine surprise in the- atrical circles. W. O. W.

No lights shone out from her looming side, No lamp at her masthead; No hail came over the boiling surf From the vessel of the dead, And a dead man stood at the helm and steered, And the wares in her wake were red.

Fox Smith in "Men of Men." NH NM• NNMNNN• An Official Inspection. By DOROTHY LEONARD. Copyright, 1891, by Dorothy Leonard. W-• - e - - • •-MNW-. NM The settlement of Buttonborough was far prettier than its name. Situated in the midst of rolling hills, thickly wooded with fragrant pine and silvery birch, destitute of public buildings save the store and schoolhouse, it was a veritable Little bit of Arcadia. The store, always the center of at- traction at Buttonborough, was par- ticularly so on the afternoons when Captain Saysbury brought over the mail from North IIamblyn. The cap- tain had followed the sea in his youth, and it had fostered the'daring and ad- venturous spirit that was latent in him. In his old age be had settled down in his native village of North Hamblyn with a married daughter and, finding such a life after his years of roving quite unendurable, had taken to cab driving. Several years before the year in which our story opens an idea occurred to him which caused his shrewd green eyes to dance with delight and made him touch up Susie to her utmost speed regardless of her hrhit of stum- bling as the old buggy rattled along on the hilly road to Buttonborough. He was going over for a passenger for the afternoon train, and the post- master had asked him to carry a let- ter to his wife's cousin. He had done errands of this sort before, but had never thought of turning them to ac- count. Now as he spun along the plan of a penny post for Buttonborough rapidly matured in his mind. It was indeed an unwonted excitement that could make him so careless of his plump lit- tle Susie on such a hilly road. "It's the Morgan blood that makes her stumble sometimes," the captain used to say. "She can't seem to find her sea legs no way." Susie bad the habit of interfering, too, andLsually wore a pad on one of her fore ankles, but that was not of much consequence to any one but her- self. The arrangements for a penny post were easily made with the Buttonbor- ough people, who were a law unto themselves, but how things were set- tled with the postmaster in North Hamblyn no one could ever ascertain, but it evidently was satisfactory on both sides. Things had gone smoothly now for several years. Two or three times a week the captain brought over the mall, and the excitement and interest in the event more than repaid the peo- ple for the slight expense involved, even when there were few letters. As the children came racing down *:+n etrnnt ems -era the Afore the. non_ tain was just coming out of it with his mail bag. ti "The east bridge is gone!" shouted the foremost youngster. The old man paused, with one foot on the step of his muddy buggy. "What's that you say?" he queried. `,'Why, we've been in the woods along the river after Mayflowers," put in one of the little girls. "Yes, after May- flowers, and the bridge on the east road is most all washed away, and"— "Waal, I was calculating to go back by that 'ere road now," said the cap- tain slowly. "It's like to be more mud- dy than the regular one, and It's full a mile longer, but It's nothing as hilly, nothing as hilly." The river was much swollen by the spring freshets, and as the captain crossed it be noticed a good deal of lumber and debris floating down in the current, some of it doubtless from the broken bridge. He was annoyed at its destruction. In the past year, since the east road to North Hamblyn had been cut through to the river and a rude bridge built across, it had become habitual with him to go to Buttonborough by one read and come home by the other. The captain paused on the summit of one of the steepest hills and gazed off into the distance, not to contemplate the beauties of nature, however (Susie and her master were of the same opin- ion on such subjects), but merely to resat his little mare after the fatigue of climbing. The sound of a woodpecker broke the stillness and made Susie start and prick up her ears. "If there ain't a woodpecker," said the captain, who had kept his bearing remarkably. "Spring's aartenly here! The frost can't stay in the ground much longer at this rate. I guess Ike Mansfield was about right to start tap- ping his maples," he continued, glanc- ing at a sugar camp half a mile or more away toward the right, but brought into bold relief by the rays of the setting sun. "lf I hed my old tele- scope here, I could make out sunthln more than his roofs. It's well for him bridgeover as ft's the east to Button - borough that's washed $$ray and not that accost the creek to Es own camp. Come, Susie, git up now!" It was nearly dark when Captain Saysbury reached the postoffice and stopped to mail the few lettere sent by the Buttonborough people. He was sur- prised to see so many men standing around talking In quite an excited manner, for It was past the supper hour for any respectable person; but he was not long kept in ignorance of the cause. "Hello, cap'n! Ye're in fur it now!" "Ye goin to try an cheek it out?" The captain's little green eyes Sashed on the crowd, but he walked proudly past them into the office with his mail bag. "I'm afraid we're in for it," said the postmaster to him in a low voice. "You know I didn't feel quite safe about that Buttonborough post. It's got out some- how, and now an inspector 1s comin down. Yes; he's comin down on the 3:40 tomorrow. Ike Mansfield got on the track of it somehow or other when he went off to see about that bargain for his maple sugar. He got back this afternoon after you left and told us about it." "When did you say this inspector was a-comin?" asked Saysbury slowly. "On the 3:40 tomorrow. And Ike Mansfield says he'd advise us to drop the whole thing. He says it won't stand lnspectin. You know I never felt quite right about it, but you said"— "Yes; I know," Interrupted the cap- tain, "but you leave this inspector to me. I'll inspect him. I ruther guess a man that's caught all the whales I hev ain't a-goin to be afeared of jest one little inspector." The crowd watched hint curiously as he climbed into the buggy and tucked the horse blanket around him. As he took up the lines he looked toward them. "I'd Jest like you fellows to under- stand that a man that's done all I hev for the gov'ment hes got a right to run all the postoffices in creation! After all the whales"— But here Susie, impatient for her sup- per, put an end to further conversation by starting abruptly and rapidly down the street. The following afternoon soon after 3 o'clock Captain Saysbury was waiting at the station for the 3:40 train. There was a sly twinkle in his eye, and from time to time a smile flitted across his weather beaten face. At last a bell rang in the station, and the way train thundered 111. Susie started and trem- bled, but the captain did not move a muscle. 'He spotted the inspector, however, the instant he stepped on the plat- form, a tall, dark man, representing the law in every inch of himself. He glanced around at the few carts and buggies waiting for patronage, then singled out Captain Saysbury and walked up to him. "Can you take a passenger for But- tonborough?" "Hey?" said the captain, though he heard him distinctly. "Can you drive me over to Button - borough? This is Captain Saysbury, I believe," reiterated the Inspector, this time in stentorian tones. "Git in, git in, sir!" answered the captain, moving over to make room, but without turning out the wheel. The Inspector waited a second, then, as nothing further was done for his convenience, vaulted over the high and muddy wheel and seated himself in the small space the captain had left for him. "I believe the drive to Buttonbor- ough is a favorite one with you, cap- tain?" said he as he drew the end of the horse blanket over his knees. "I'm a leetle deef, sir, a leetle deet," said Saysbury tremulously. "You drive often to Buttonborough, do you not?" "Why, yes, sir. Not to say often, but once in awhile. Git up, Susie!" Susie, who had been indulging in a brief nap, started, stumbled, regained her footing and trotted off down the street toward a large, square, yellow house not far from the station. The captain reined her up at the door. "My friend, I must tell you I am in a hurry," said the inspector at last, after they had waited tints about ten min- utes. "This is the only hotel we hev, sir." "I don't wish to stop at the hotel. 1 told you to drive me to Buttonborough, you old ass!" he added sotto voce. "All right, sir," said Saysbury slow- ly, "but it's a long, cold drive, and I guess there ain't many conveniences after you git there. Now, this 'ere ho- tel"— "I am the judge of what will be con- venient for myself, sir," answered the inspector sternly. "Please make no more words about it, but use such haste as your horse is capable of." The captain returned no answer, and they jogged along in silence until the Village was left quite behind them. "Are you sure you haven't missed the way?" asked the inspector sudden- ly. "This seems to lead through the woods and doesn't look much traveled, not like the regular road we started on. I notkted the signboard on that— 'Buttonborsugh, five miles.' " "Hey?" The inspector repeated the gist of his question. "Ob, this 'ere ain't nigh as hilly and not much longer. We'11 git there soon- er this way." "Oh!" And they relapsed again into silence. Mile after mile passed with but little said op either side. Occasionally the captain dilated upon some of Susie's best points or referred to some whaling exploit of his earlier days, but tbe in- spector was not inclined to enter into conversation. "Isn't it pretty near time we own accord. Only enough of the br remained to show that one had been there. • "When did this happen?" exclal the inspector angrily. "Why, I do' know," answered S bury. "It was all right when I here last, but we had an awful st the fust of the week. Mebbe it washed away then. The river git high in the spring." "But what am 1 to do?" thund the inspector. "You old fool, you, c you get out and see it there's any to get a boat?" "There ain't no boats within miles of here," drawled Saysbury, provoking good humor. "The best ti to do, 'cordin to my mind, is to acrost to the reg'lar road and go o the other bridge," "Why under the sun didn't you me so before?" And in a lower tone, ever I met with a deaf and dumb bl idiot in the world, this fellow is tainly the worst!" "Yes, yes," thought the captain as took a wide turn, for the buggy not a cut under, "a deef and dumb i and a fool and ass! I ruther guess, Inspector, an old whaler can be as of tricks as an inspector can be of sonous words!" "We'll hev to go back the way come," he said aloud, "fur a spell, we meet the road that goes through woods to the reg'lar Hamblyn road." The inspector leaned back again and tried to control his temper. This delay was extremely annoying to hint—doubly so because there was no one to blame. The daylight was fading rapidly now, and he was cold and hungry. "What time do you dine around here?" he said more pleasantly. "Nigh on to 12 o'clock; some dines as late as half past," answered the cap- tain, who had fed Susie just before starting for the station and had taken a hearty lunch himself and felt in no pressing need of refreshments. "Oh, I forgot the country ways. What time do you have supper?" "Any time." At last they took a turn to the right and struck into fin Unused and grassy road through the woods. "Do I understand that this road leads direct to the regular Hamblyn road?" asked the inspector. "Yes." said the captain, "but 1 guess 'tain't hardly ever used. b'e'll git through it all right, though, for that horse'Il go anywhere the darkest night that ever was hatched." It was now so dark that it was not possible to drive Susie above a walk. The rickety buggy tipped from side to side, anti at times it seemed as If they were really going ovt•r. and in spite of the high top and side curtains the leaf- less branches struck them frequently in the face. At last they emerged upon a wide open road, and Susie, expecting oats and a warm bed at the end of her jour- ney, started on a brisk trot toward North Hamblyn. "This is the Hamblyn road at last!" Bald the inspector, ashamed of his own impatience as be thought how calmly Saysbury had borne their trying drive. "Yes; we'll reach the bridge in a few minutes," said the captain, turning down the road that led to Ike Mans- field's sugar trees. It was not long before Susie's little hoofs resounde I on a bridge, and they could see a narrow stream of water be- neath. There was a steep hill to climb before them, and the captain stopped for a moment to rest his horse. The wind had risen now, and there was every appearance of an approaching storm. "This old sea dog seems to have an amazing amount of stamina after all," murmured the inspector softly to him- self, "and, unless my senses deceive me, which they never do, he's an bon - est sort of fellow too. I doubt if he's been up to anything lawless. I've half a mind to ask him about it, only he is so stone deaf I'm tired of yelling at hint." The "stone deaf sea dog" smiled in the darkness and shook the reins. "Git up, now, Susie." he said, And poor Susie, to whom this was anything but a pleasure excursion, started patiently up the hill. "You may as well stop at the post - office first," said the inspector, "If it's still open," "The postoffice?" asked the captain, with mild surprise. "Yes; whatever you call the place where you leave the letters. You see. were A few wordti more followed which 111s the captain could not catch. Then the inspector carne out, closely followed by next Mansfield. "I've been a-pressin on this stranger tall to set down and hev a bite, cap'n," said ught Mansfield, "but be feels as if he must ctor be gittin back unless you want to wait ittle and hev suthin." her "That fellow said, Saysbury," said idge the inspector as the old buggy rattled once along across the bridge, "that there's a train due here at 11 o'clock. If you med can make it, I won't attempt to stop overnight at the hotel you showed me." aye- "Oh, you couldn't glt in there now was It closes before 10.

But of you want to take the 11 p. fu. and don't mind it's beln a ered freight traits I guess Susie can an't make it." way By the time they reached North I Hamblynthe rain was falling in tor - five rents, and ie village was in profound with repose. The station alone allowed any ling light, "Walt a moment, Saysbury," said the vet inspector as he jumped out. And the I captain watched him with beating tell heart as he stepped into the waiting "If room and took out his pocketbook. Ind "Here, Saysbury," called the warm cer• tempered, but warm hearted, man im- pulsively, banding him a roll of bills. he "One is for your little horse herself was and the other two for you." diot The ca t..'

A light was still burning in Mans- field's cottage when they reached It. "Wait here for me a few minutes, Saysbury," said the inspector. He knocked loudly ou the door, which was immediately opened by a man of me- dium height, but athletic build, with a long red beard and humorous brown eyes, which twinkled with amusement as the lamplight fell full upon the face of his visitor. Perhaps if the inspector had been at his best he might have surmised that his call was not unlooked for, but he was worn and hungry and saw nothing amiss. He stepped inside the door, and the conversation was in such low tones that Saysbury said afterward he could catch but little of it. "Bringing an occasional letter over as a friend, you say? No compensation? Pshaw, pahaw! We were grossly mis- informed!" said the inspector at last. "Then, as I said," continued Mans- field, "leaves the Widow Butler's let- ters with me, and I see as one of my kids fetches 'em over. Then Hodge Pearson asked the eap'n if he'd git his mall whenever he come in this d'ree- tion, 'cause his hoss hes a bad sprain and he ain't driv him this month and more, and it's a pretty long piece to walk into North Hamblyn. We neigh- bors hev always been in the habit of helpin one another out in this 'ere way." "But it's nothin but right be should do it," he soliloquized as poor Susie's head was at lust turned homeward. "Ile wanted to rob an honest man of his rightful employment and would 'a' done it, too, 1f I hadn't outwitted him!" The Psychology of Swearing. Most profane expressions are the fos- sil remains of religious terms or ejac- ulatory prayers, and the history of pro- fanity is intimately bound up with the history of religiou. It is held by some that profane objurgations are instinct- ive or imitative relics of the habit of our wild ancestors of simulating the cries of ferocious animals and of utter- ing sounds calculated by their harsh- ness or their volume to inspire terror. By and by came the time when certain words became sacred by reason of their religious associations, and their em- ployment in verbal warfare would, it was hoped. cause fear by reason of their awful associations or, later still, because their unconventional use being severely punished, the dried savored of reckless violence. A few centuries later wen took to utilizing the anathemas of the church for their private purposes and sought to inspire fear by evoking !mages of torture and endless suffering. The an- gry primitive man tried to shock his enemy by calling on thunder and gods, and the angry modern man con- signs him in tones of awful wrath to eternal punishment. From the shock of terror there came the e:boek of te- merity. In taking holy names to vain, so that the greater the reverence of names of saints or places or deity, the greater is the shock to the man sworn at and presumably the greater the re- lief to the man swearing. — Medical Press and Circular. Daniel Drew's Shrewd Advice. This story is told of the late Daniel Drew of New York, who, in the hours that he did not devote to the stock market, found consolation or recreation in managing a church. One day a New Jersey pastor of a sister church which contained members of wealth came to him and said that he would have Brother Drew invest a few hun- dred dollars for him. Mr. Drew read- ily assented and recommended the pur- chase of a certain stock upon the prom- ise that the pastor should not make known his recommendation to a living eoui. The pastor purchased. The stock de- clined. Then he came to Mr. Drew with a sad story. Mr. Drew told his clerk to make a check for the amount lost. The pastor hesitated, but finally told him that several members of his church had lost very much more than he. As Mr. Drew really knew be would do, the minister had imparted the se- cret to his well to do members. Drew said, "You tell them men that buy -in sheers is ticklish business if a man don't understand It." In the years that haft intervened there hat been no change in the busi- nese of buying shares, It Was Hls Deal. A mining engineer who has returned from Alaska brings, among other Inter- esting things, evidence that the higher the Iatitude the greater the latitude. Watching a poker game in which the stakes were heavy he saw a player give himself tour aces from the bottom of the pack. Burning with indignation at sucb shameless cheating, he turned to a by- stander and whispered, "Did you see that?" "See what?" "Why, that fellow dealt himself four !Ices!" "Well, wasn't it his deal?" Why We Bathe. Professor Vivian Lewes, at the Lon- don institution, recently furnished the tullowing answer to the question, "Why do we bathe?" Twenty-eight miles of sweat glands in our skin are discharging 26 ounces of water per day and leaving upon the outer surface of the skin a full ounce of solid matter. These are aided by the oil glands of the hair, which facilitate the adherence of external dirt. Hence the refreshing character of the morning bath and the necessity for grease absorbing alkalies in soap. Softening the Parting. Twelve was on the point of striking. "To think," cried the fair girl in an- guish, "we will never see each other again till tomorrow night!" "Bear up, sweet one!" was his en- couraging remark. "Time will pass. Besides, I'll write to you when I get home and la the morning."—Philadel- phia 'gimes. Irving and the Imprecation, Irving was always severely accurate. Shortly before he put on the "Merchant of Venice" he inquired of a brother actor if he could supply some stage "business" for the part of Shylock. The actor being, like Shylock, a Jew, thought he might, and asked Irving bow be meant to do the "imprecation scene," which occurs upon Shylock dis- covering that Jessica has fled with Lorenzo and the jewelry of her late mother, Mrs, Shylock, Irving knelt, held his bands prayer - Ike and rehearsed the terrible impreca- tion, "I would my daughter were dead at my feet and the jewels in her ears,i' Upon the actor's saying he was wrong, Irving rejoined that he had fol- lowed the stage direction in the book, and that all the beet Shylocks so did it, as the Keane, Brooke, Pechter and Phelps. "Yea," said the actor, "but they were all Christians. A Jew in imprecating never kneels, but stands upright, pass- ing his open hand over hie face." Irving adopted the hint. Soon afterward a well known London solicitor, also a Jew, who had seen the new version, told the actor in question that he had not before been aware that Irving was "one of us," and he refused to believe the contrary.—Ledger Month- ly. Family Prayers at the Jenkinses'. A Harlem woman reeently decided that family prayers were really neces- sary to the proper bringing up of her young son Johnnie. Mr. Jenkins, nom- inal head of the family, didn't exactly see the necessity, but, of course, yield- ed to his wife. The next morning aft- er breakfast the Jenkinses assembled in the sitting room with a feeling of suppressed excitement at the novel pro- ceedings. After the Scriptural reading they knelt beside a long sofa, Mr. Jen- kins at one end, Mrs. Jenkins at the other and Johnnie in the middle. Then Mr. Jenkins offered up a prayer Invok- ing the divine presence. Jenkins' prayer was long and fervent. After it had continued for five minutes Johnnie got restless, decided it was too monotonous and interrupted in his thin. boyish voice with: "Yes, Dod; come and stay to dinner!" Mr. Jenkins concluded his invocation With an abrupt "Amen!" Johnnie safe- ly out of the way, he strangely remark- ed to his wife, "That's the limit!" Family prayers have been abandoned at the Jenkinses',—New York Times. Fishing Hooks. Fishing books are as old as Adam, made of stone, bone, thorns and any old thing, not to mention deer horn and boars' tusks. The bronze hook of the bronze age was succeeded by the hook of iron. The aborigines of Colombia used gold hooks, while the ancient peo- ple of Peru made theirs of copper. The bronze hook of today is considered an expensive luxury. For year's the most important seat of fishhook manufac- ture was Limerick, Ireland, but the once popular Limerick has been super- seded by several styles of American make that are not only much clieaper, but are not inferior.

Wild Zebras, The zebra when wild is a ferocious animal, and an unwary hunter 1s likely to suffer from its teeth and hoofs. The author of "Kloof and Karroo" says that a Boer in Cape Colony had once forced IL zebra to the brink of a precipice, when the desperate creature turned up- on him, attacked him with its teeth and actually tore one of his feet from the leg. Another author writes of a soldier who mounted a halt domesticated ze- bra. The creature, after making the most furious attempts to get rid of its rider, plunged over a steep bank into the river and threw the soldier as it emerged. While the man lay half stunned upon the ground the zEbra quietly walked up to him and bit off one of his ears. The Penalty of Being idle. Idlelees is at the bottom of the drunkenness, gluttony and sensuality which compass the destruction of oue section of the community at the present time. It is et the bottom of that partic- ular form of heartache which is the plague of women—the heartache of a purposeless, miserable existence. Such women often look forward to marriage to cure them, but when they are mar- ried and settled the old malady recurs, and in our own day we see them run- ning hither and thither after that elu- sive something. Others try to find a cure in the suffrage and others again in cigarettes.—Sarah Grand. A Famous Temple. The moat magnificent work of archi- tecture in the world is the Taj Mahal, in Agra, Hindustan.

The work took 22,000 men 20 years to complete, and though there were free gifts and the labor was free the cost is estimated at $10,000,000. Helping Him.

Chinese servant stories are epidemic. here's one, and it's true: A west side woman a few days ago was boaeting to a caller of the virtues of her Mongolian cook, and she empha- sized the latter's systematic methods as his special strong point. "John finishes his work at precisely the same minute every evening," said she proudly. "I always know exactly where he is and what he is doing at any time of the day." "Well, what is he doing now?" was asked. "Let me see. It -Is 7 o'clock. Well, he has just finished putting the dishes away and at this moment is sweeping the kitchen. Come, let's go out and see if I'm not right" They started through the dining room and found everything in its place, as prophesied. In the pantry the dishes were neatly arranged in their custom- ary place. Then they opened the kitchen door. There in the center of the room was John, and he was complacently wash- ing himself in the dishpan! The embarrassed mistress and her convulsed guest retired in haste, and the servant problem was dropped.— Milwaukee Sentinel. Andersen's Childlike Vanity. "Hans Christian Andersen," said one who sew him often, "was the most charming egotist I ever knew." When the Danish crown prince brought home his Swedish bride in the summer of 1869, a great assemblage of people stood in the streets of Copenhagen to see the royal couple pass. In one group were several distin- guished women and the great story teller, Hans Christian Andersen. The women occupied front seats at the win- dow and received marked attention from the court dignitaries in the pro- cession. Some one in the company remarked that this particular window seemed to possess peculiar attractions. "Oh, yes," said the aged poet, pleased and happy in his seat, where he had been seen by nobody. "Everybody knows me." The quiet smile that went round the group had no trace of unkindness. His childish vanity was one of tbe amiable traits of the gentle old man. Every- body knew and loved It. The Population of Babylon. Various attempts have been made, by comparing its area with that of modern cities, to estimate the population of Babylon. But on the lowest calcula- tion it would be found, supposing it to have borne any considerable resem- blance to one of our cities, to have had a population of 5,000,000, a supposi- tion to which all but insuperable ob- stacles are opposed. The map of Asi- atic Turkey shows that the extent of country around Babylon available for agricultural purposes must have been quite Inadequate to supply the neces- sary demands for anything like such an immense population. Perhaps, on the whole, we may esti- mate the population at from 1,000,000 to 1,200,000. This supposition derives support from the fact that Seieucia, with a population of 600,000 souls, is stated by Strabo and Pliny to have been about half the size of Babylon in the days of her greatest glory. A Strange Method of Salutation. Of all the strange modes of saluta- tion, the most extraordinary is the "dance of ceremony" current in the west African kingdom of Dahomey. Whenever any Dahomau chief or offi- cial of rank comes to pay you a visit be always opens the interview by dancing around you with various queer contortions (extremely suggestive of his having just upset a kettle of boil- ing water over his knees), which you are bound to imitate as closely as pos- sible.

Those who direct the state, who ad- minister the cities, control the legisla- tures, the financiers, merchants, pro- fessors, journalists, men of letters— those whom i met in society—are near- ly all of American birth and of marked American type.

Memory is for the most pat "a trivial fond record" of the affairs of everyday life, and our intense desire not to lose the remembrance of these unimportant everyday matters is one of the greatest testimonies to the predominance of happiness over unhappiness in the world. Do we not feel sorry from our hearts for any one who has lost such an infinitely Precious possession with- out out even wondering whether or no there was anything in their past lives worth recollecting? After all, how few are the hours which any of us would blot out of our lives! Those perhaps during which we have witnessed or suffered acute physical or mental pain, the moment when we engendered the worm of remorse which dieth not or those few minutes of humiliation which, whether We trace them to fault or fate, remain in our minds to "vex us like a tiling that is raw." But how small is the part we would have taken away compared to the part we would retain! -London Spectator. An Execution In China. The poor wretches were made to dig a large square pit, and one by one they were made kneel at the edge with their hands tied behind their backs. A Japanese officer stepped forward and with the ordinary service sword drew it back and forward over the poor wretch's neck, and then wit11 a swift blow it descended, cutting off the head. The next one was as successful, and then came a terrible spectacle. The Jap- anese officer, after wiping his sword, drew the back to and fro over the poor wretch's neck three or four times before he struck the fatal blow. Down came the blade on the apex of the skull, cutting about two inches into the neck. The poor wretch fell into the pit, the Japanese officer climbing down and sawing away at the neck until the head was severed. The heads were immedi- ately carried over to the main road and strung up on poles as an object lesson to the large number of Chinese who were congregated around with blanch- ed faces. -Canadian Magazine. Recipes For Happiness. Happiness is not to be procured like hard bake in a solid lump. It is com- posed of innumerable small items. The recipes for Its acquisition are simple, and therefore we ignore them. Love in marriage, fidelity in friendship, af- fection between parent and children, courtesy in intercourse, devotion to duty and perfect sincerity in every re- lation of life -those are the ingredients of a happy life. In the quest for hap- piness one could not do better than put into practice the precepts of the great Persian: "Taking the first step with the good thought, the second step with the good word and the third step with the good deed, I entered paradise." - Sarah Grand. An Observer. A correspondent writes: "I was visit- ing a friend some time ago and natu- rally in due time wished to take a bath. So, having let a goodly supply of water into the tub, in 1 stepped, with much pleasure at the prospect of a delightful scrub, when a most hatter of fact voice said, 'Going to take a bath?' My heart stood still with terror, and, vain• ly endeavoring to stretch my washrag to the dimensions of a sheet, I glared wildly around and saw a parrot placid- lyblinking gat me from his cage in the window." -New York Tribune. The Karroo Bush of South Africa. The karroo bush provides, against drought 12y roots of enormous length, stretching under ground to a depth of many feet. At the end of a ten months' drought, when the earth is baked brick - dust for two feet from the surface, if you break the dried stalk of a karoo bush three inches high you will find running down the center a tiny thread of pale, green tinted tissue still alive with sap. -Fortnightly Review. Well. Concealed. "What was the matter with Proud - foot that he made such a fool of him- self last night?' "Ob, somebody had offended him un- wittingly, and be was standing on hia dignity." "Oh, was he? I wondered what had become of it" -New York Commercial Advertiser. -M1.1.wnln•••1 THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY JULY 27th, 1901. It is said that the commissioners of Dakota and Washington Counties will have a meeting next month to arrange for making the toll bridge across the Mississippi at Inver Grove a free bridge. The Burlington Road agrees to do this if it is released from keeping the roadway in repair. While they are in joint session some arrangement might also be made for keeping the high bridge at Hastings in repair at the expense of the coun- ties. It is not fair to relieve one community of its burdens without including others equally- deserving. Mayor Rich, of Red Wing, has or- ganized a saloon keepers' association, of which he is an ex officio member, for the correction of abuses and ele- vation of the business. The leading provisions are closing at eleven p. m. and on Sundays, no gambling for money, no liquor sold to minors, habitual drunkards, or tramps, and Ow curtailing, of the can trade as far as possible. ^ The paper was signed by seventeen as charter members, and but -one of the others has declined to join. A permanent organization will be perfected at an early date. The public reception hours of the Younger brothers at the gravestone factory in St. Paul are announced at half past eleven a. tn. to half past twelve and from half past five to six p. in. Those desiring to pay their respects to these distinguished citi- zens from Missouri will take due notice and govern themselves ac- cording14'. The Minneapolis Tribune intimates that there is a straining of relations between the governor and his private secretary over the appointments of public examiner and attorney for the game and fish commission, both of which are expected to be made from Minneapolis. Where does the third district come in? II. L. Wagner. the slick forger who b 1 up a number of Wisconsin towns last spring. escaped from the jail of Barron County on Monday and is still at large. Ile will be remember- ed as the small pox patient iluaran- tined opposite the courthouse in this city. The T. M. Roberts Supply House at Minneapolis has gone into the hands of its creditors, with liabilities approximating $700,000, and less than $400,000 assets. It did an ex- tensive mail order business at the expense of the country merchants. About fifteen hundred horses in St. - Paul are reported to be suffering with typhoid influenza, due to the atmos- pheric conditions of the past sixty days. ;The disease is not contagious, but requires the very best of care. But few deaths are'reported. .Judge J.- C. Netheway, of Still- water, was defeated for exalted ruler of the elks at Milwaukee on Tuesday by C. E. Pickett, of Waterloo, Ia. The vote stood five hundred and fourteen to one hundred and sixty-two. Five new directors of the North- ern Pacific Road were elected at New York on Tuesday, in the .1. P. Mor- gan interest. The system is now in control of the great competing lines, with a view to harmony. The hoard of control is having a monkey and parrot time with the coal dealers and their bids for supply- ing the state institutions. Prices are reported higher than the ]der, curl last Wednesday. The bondsmen of Joseph Bobletter, late state treasurer, having lost their case in the supreme court, are now trying to compromise with the state. Tlie amount still due from insolvent banks is $45,031.06. The Milwaukee Road is expending $1,000,000 in straightening curves and lowering grades on the river di- vision, between St.Paul and LaCrosse. The roadbed will also be widened for a double track. The twin city jobbers are greatly disappointed at the failure of the country merchants to take advantage of the low rate excursions this week. They were evidently busy at home trying to keep cool. S. J. Corrigan, a St. Pani astrono- mer, says that the extreme heat is caused by an unusual condensation of gas from the sun. Now that we know all about it the sweltering will proceed as usual. A St. Paul man loses a day's work to attend the county board of equali- zation, his personal property tax be- ing forty-two cents. The probabilities are that it would never have been col- lected anyhow. Minnesota Journalism. The Olivia Times has absorbed The Press, the latter going out of exist- ence. James Arnold has sold The Vesta Bright Eyes to M. E. Lewis, a real estate dealer. A. C. Lamport, formerly superin- tendent of schools in Murray County, has bought The Sebeka Review. E. C. Detuneq has assumed the management of The Murdock Voice, which will be run as an independent paper. Allen & Moyes, of Kansas, have bought The Morris Times, C. J. Gla- sier retiring on account of the poor health of his wife. The liquor dealers of St. Paul and Minneapolis are after the brewers for r.ot giving them the benefit of the recent reduction in the internal reve- nue tax. An independent brewery is being agitated. J The steamer C. W. Cowles is now running between La Crosse and Du- buque, connecting with the Lion from Wabasha, and forming with the Cy- clone a continuous line from St. Paul. There were twenty-one hundred and five petitions in bankruptcy filed in the United States courts of Minne- sota during the past three years. Nearly one-half were in Minneapolis. A Winona commission house re- ports a brood of fifteen chickens hatched by the heat from a single shipment of eggs. This beats an in- cubator by a very Targe majority. A Childs, Minn., justice of the peace fined his constable and then himself $25 each for selling baking powder without the proper label. That court must be strictly pure. The fire in Cambridge on the night of the 19th inst. burned the principal business block, including the Mer- chant's Hotel and four stores. Loss $60,000: insurance $30,000. John Fisher, a pioneer merchant of Stillwater and its second mayor, died at the insane asylum at New Richmond on Wednesday, aged seven- ty-six years, N. B. Bourne, former deputy audi- tor of Ramsey County, has been ar- rested for alleged defalcations from 1894 to 1899, estimated at upwards of $18,000. The state investment commission has over $400,000 of permanent funds to loan, of which $100,000 have been placed in state bonds of Utah. A great scarcity of harvest hands is reported along the line of the Northern Pacific Road. The average wages paid are $2 per day. The steamer Dubuque, which sunk two months ago, has been towed up to the dry dock at Eagle Point, near Dubuque, for repairs. Stillwater is to receive $25,000 from Andrew Carnegie for a library building, upon the usual terms of site and maintenance. The men in the twine shops at the state prison are working over time, owing to the heavy shipments from that institution. The crop reports from the north- west are very encouraging, with fair prospects for an abundant harvest, The Stillwater Elks have taken a tally -ho and six gray horses to the grand lodge meeting in Milwaukee. The small pox has finally succumb- ed to the weather, and everything else is rapidly following suit. The busiest people in the commu- nity these days are the ice men. They are strictly in it, A reception was given last evening in honor of Mayor and Mrs. G. L. Lytle. The ladies who had the affair in charge issued general invitations and very tastefully fitted up the City Hall for the purpose. A cozy corner in one of the large bay windows was occupied by the host and hostess and members of the reception committee. Tables were very prettily arranged on the stage, where light refreshments were served. Three pieces of the Twin City Mandolin Club furnished excellent music, and dancing was ex- tended into the early hours of the morning. A large number of friends took advantage of the occasion to meet Mrs. Lytle after her sojourn in the British Isles for nearly- a year. Mrs. Lytle was gowned in black satin and lace.—South St. Paul Reporter, 3Oth. The county commissioners, sitting as a board of equalization last week, decided to add to the tax roll the mortgages and credits, amounting to $277,781, held by Seabury Mission, which has control of Seabury Divini- ty school and Shattuck school. It is hinted that the matter will be taken into the courts and a test case made. Should the county win it is quite likely that the securities held by St. Olaf and Carleton colleges of North- field will also be taxed. E. Law, the Northfield member, was the only com- missioner voting against the proposi- tion.—Faribault Journal. Langdon Items, Mr. Sudor, of St. Paul, is the guest of A. G. Johnson.

Brower, archaeologist of the state historical society, the Rev. W. W. Newell, and C. W. Clark have just completed an examination of the ancient Indian mounds at the former site of Kaposia, which was Little Crow's village, near where South Park now is. The mounds are at the crest of the bluff overlooking the Mississippi. Indications were found that the mounds were of prehistoric construction, but, owing to the fact that they have been reopened by the Indians of more modern times and used by them Tor burial places, they were found to be worthless as means of archaeological research. It is be- lieved that relics of the original build- ers of the mounds were removed at the time of these intrusive burials by the Indians.—St. Paul Globe. Ntninger Items.

The employes of the Northern Pacific shops at St. Paul give their thirteenth annual picnic in this city to -day, per steamer Lora and barge, from twelve to fifteen hundred being expected. The programme includes a number of races and games for men, women, and children, to come off on Second Street and the grounds across the river. With fair weather an unusually pleasant time is antici- pated, and our citizens will most as- suredly do all in their power to ren- der the visit an agreeable one. A Supposed Horse Thief, F. W. Finch's horse and buggy was taken from the front of his resi- deuce on Eighth Street Monday, about eleven a. m. Sheriff Grisim and Deputy Steffen started in pursuit, meeting the horse coming home this side of the Ennis Mill. Deputy Steffen kept on west, and three miles farther overhauled the young man in the brush. He was a stranger, giv- ing the name of Frank Davis, and was committed by Justice Newell until the next term of court. While walking through his field of shocked rye last week Thomas Moore, of Greenvale, noticed a place where the stubble had been burned. Look- ing for the cause he found it due to a meteorite about the size of a hen's egg, which must have fallen a few day's before, as the rye had only been cut, a week. The meteorite was cover- ed with ashes and had a strong smell of sulphur. A dozen smaller pieces, the size of small marbles, were pick- ed up within a radius of twelve feet. The large specimen found was streak- ed with a white, shining metal sub- stance, and unusually heavy.—Nortlt- feld Independent. - The Hed Men.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

BILL CROSS AND HIS PET BEAR. By JOAQUIN MILLE greatest respect for the courage or en durance of those who had reached Ore gon by ship. But here was this man, a sailor by trade, settling down in the interior of Oregon and, strangely enough, pretending to know more about everything in general and bears in par- ticular than either my father or any of his boys. He had taken up a piece of land down ;n the pretty Camas valley, where the gr:fss grew long and strong and waved in the wind, mobile and beautiful as the mobile sea. The good natured and self compla- cent old sailor.liked to watch the wav- ing grass. It reminded him of the sea, I reckon. He would sometimes sit on our little porch as the sun went down and tell us boys strange, Wild sea sto- ries. He had traveled farand seen much, as much as any man can see on water, and maybe was not a very big liar, for a sailor, after all. The only thing about him that we did not like outside of his chronic idleness was his exalted opinion of himself and his un- concealed contempt for everybody's opinion but his own. • 'Bill," said my father one day, "those black Spanish cattle will get after that red sash and sailor jacket of yours some day when you go down in the val- ley to your claim, and they won't leave a grease spot. Better go horseback or at least take a gun when you go down next time." 3 `Pshaw! Squire, I wish I had as many dollars as I ain't afeard of all the black Spanish cattle In Oregon. Why, 1f they're so blasted dangerous how did your missionaries ever manage to drive them up here from Mexico, anyhow?" Still, for all that, the very next time that he saw the old sailor setting out at his snall pace for his ranch below, slow and indolent as 1f on the deck of a ship, my father insisted that he should go on horseback or at least take a gun. "Pooh. pooh! I be. hnthered R. the s lit - was rest hose We ttle, iled 0118. rom were ong, Na - out hey ody eer. all sts um - ver lag to or oot, nd ere up, nd ey ete- all a de es re en re at as de ed te Id. he 0 1- d it es e n y d it r d 0 re k h y e d e When my father settled down at foot of the Oregon sierras with hi tie family long, long years ago, it 40 miles from our place to the nes civilized settlement. People were very scarce in t days and bears were very plenty. also had wolves, wildcats, wild ca wild bogs and a good many long to and big ]leaded yellow California 11 The wiffilartatle, brought there f Spanish Mexico, next to the bear most to be feared. 'they had 1 sharp horns and keen, sharp hoofs: ture had gradually helped them in these weapons of defense. T had grown to be slim and trim of b and were as supple and swift as d They were the deadly enemies of wild beasts, because all wild bea devoured their young. When fat and saucy, in warm s mer weather, these cattle would ho along the foothills in bands, hid in the hollows, and would begin bellow whenever they saw a bear wolf or even a man or boy, if on f crossing the wide valley of grass a blue camas blossoms. Then th would be music! They would start with bead and tails in the air, a broadening nit left and right th would draw a Iong, bent line, compl iy shutting off their victim from approach to the foothills. If the, unfortunate victim were man or boy on foot, he generally ma escape up one of the small ash tre that dotted the valley in groves he and there, and the cattle would th soon give up the chase. But if -it we a wolf or any other wild beast th could not get up a tree the case w different. Far away on the other si of the valley, where dense woods lin the banks of the winding Willamet river, the wild, bellowing herd wou be answered. Out from the edge of t woods would stream right and left tw long, . corresponding, surging lines,ebe lowing and plunging forward now an then, their heads to the ground, the tails always in the air and their ey aflame, as if they would set fire to th long gray grass. With the precisio and discipline of a well ordered arm they would close in upon the wil beast, too terrified now to either figl or fly, and, leaping upon him one afte another with their long hoofs, he woul in a little time be crushed into an un recognizable mass". Not a bone woul be left unbroken. It is n mistake t suppose that they ever use their long sharp horns in attack- These we used only in . defense, the same as el or deer, failing on the knees and re ceiving the enemy on their horns, mite as the Old Guard received the enem in the last terrible struggle at Water loo. Bill Cross was a "tenderfoot" at th time of which I write, and a sailor a that. Now, the old pilgrims who ha dared the plains in those days of '49 when cowards did not venture and th weak died on the way, had not the with a horse or a gun. Say, I'm goin to bring your boys a pet bear some day." And so, cocking his little hat down over his right eye and thrusting his big hands Into his deep pockets almost to the elbows, he slowly and lazily whis- tled himself down the gradual slope of the foothills, waist deep in the waving grass and delicious wild flowers, and soon was lost to sight in the great wav- ing sea. Two thing3 may be here writt down. He wouldn't ride a horse, be- cause he couldn't, and for the sa reason he wouldn't use a gun. Aga let it be written down also that the r son he was going away that warm a tumn afternoon was that there w some work to do. These facts we clear to my kind and indulgent fath but of course we boys never thought it and laid our' little shoulders to t hard work of helping father lift up t long, heavy poles that were to comple the corral around our pioneer log cabi and we really hoped and half believ that he might bring hone a little p bear. This stout log corral had become a absolute necessity. It was high at strong and made of poles or small to stood on end in a trench after the fas ion of a primitfie one in front of t cabin door. Here it was proposed put up a gate. We also had taike about portholes in the corners of ti corral, but neither gate nor porthol were yet made. In fact, as said befor serene and indolent man of the always slowly walked away dow through the grass toward his untrack claim whenever there was anythin said about portholes, posts or gates. Father and we three little boys ha only got the last post set and solidi "tamped" in the ground as the sun wa going down. Suddenly we heard a yell, then a yet ing, then a bellowing. This yelling wa heard in the high grass in the Cama valley below, and -the bellowing of cat the came from the woody river bank far beyond. Then up on the brown hills of the Or egon sierras above us came the wil answer of the wild black cattle of th hills, and a moment later, right an left, the long black lines began to widen out; then down they came, like a whirlwind, toward the black and surging line in the grass below. W were now almost in the center of wha would In a little time be a complete cir- cle and cyclone of furious Spanish ca tie. And now here is something curious to relate. Our own cows, poor, weary. immigrant cows of only a year before, tossed their tails in the air, pawed the ground, bellowed and fairly went wild in the splendid excitement and tumult. One touch of nature made the whole cow world kin! Father clambered up on a "buck horse" and looked out over the stock- ade, and then he shouted and shook his hat and laughed as I had never heard him laugh before. For there, breathless, coatless, hatless, came William Cross, Esq., two small wolves and a very small black bear! They were an mak- ing good time, anywhere, any way to escape the frantic cattle. Father used to say afterward that "it was nip and tuck between the four and hard to say which was ahead." The cattle bad made quite a "round up." They all four straggled in at the nar- row little gate at about the same time, the great big, lazy sailor in a hurry for the first time in his life. But think of the coolness of the man as he turned to us children with' his first gasp of breath and said, "Bo—bo— boys, I've bro—bre—brought you a lit- tle bear!" The wolves were the little chicken thieves known as coyotes, quite harm- less, as a rule, so far as man is concern- ed, but the cattle hated them, and they were terrified nearly to death. The cattle stopped a few rods from the stockade. We let the coyotes.go. but we kept the little bear and named him Bill Crass. Yet be was never a bit cross, despite his name. en PERFUMED CIGARS. me The Ones General Roisterous Once in, Offered to a Friend. ea- One of the stories told by old em- u- ployees in the treasury department at as Washington is of the time when Gen- re eral Rosecrans was register. The gen- er, eral never smoked and knew nothing of about cigars. He determined, however, be to have a box of good cigars handy for he the benefit of friends who might drop te into the register's office. The general n, accordingly purchased a box of expen- ed sive cigars, put them in a drawer and et forgot all about them for some tune. Then, pito day, when a friend was call- a ing, the general remembered the cigars Id and brought them out. gs "I know nothing about cigars," said h- Rosecrans, "but I am told that these he are very fine," to Ills friend lighted a cigar, and a look d of pain and horror instantly overspread to his face. He tried to conee his feel- er Ings and puffed manfully at the cigar re, for several seconds. Then .Rosecrans, sea noticing that he was growing pale, ask- s ed what was the trouble. ed "General," said the visitor, "I don't want to be ungrateful, but I'm afraid it's this cigar." "Impossible!" exclaimed Rosecrans. "Why, when I bought them I was told s that they were the finest cigars on the market." 1_ I "Well, general, you were deceived. The cigar tastes and smells exactly as if it were made of camphor." "Camphor!" stammered Rosecrans, s looking chapfallen. "Why, 1 never thought, but perhaps camphor does in- - jure a cigar." And, reaching into the d drawer, he brought to view several gnr- e lnents filled with camphor balls. "Do d you suppose that can be the trouble?" he inquired. e t Don't confound hauteur with dignity or repose with stupidity, t- ' Don't "howl," "roar" or "explode." To laugh heartily is better. Don't pose. Affectation is a bar to respect, let alone confidence. Don't groan over the wickedness of the world, but mend your own. Don't boast. The illiterate and the self conscious are thus made manifest. Don't use superlatives. Few things require them, and they weaken descrip- tion. Don't preach unless you have prac- ticed.

SOME WISE DON'TS. Use of Nettles. Nettles are as a rural remedy highly calculated, I should say, to make the patient "onaisy." Whipping with net ties has been used in case of lethargy numbness and palsy. with what effec I cannot say, but this I do know— handling nettles regardless of their sting produces a numbness which de- stroys for a time further sensitiveness to their poison. Culpepper enumerates no less than 42 diseases that are cured by an application of nettles in one form or another, among them leprosy, gout, sciatica, itch, wounds and sores of all sorts. He also informs us that the juice is effectual to "settle the palate of the month in its place." Has any one experience of the palate shifting elsewhere? I have not heard of it. Curtis says that "in Arran and other islands of Scotland a rennet is made of a strong decoction of nettles. A quart of salt is put to three pints of decoc- tion and boiled. A spoonful win co- agulate a large bowl of milk." Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew! Little did Hamlet think when he gave utterance to this desire that he had only to go to the nearest ditch where grew nettles and periwinkle to bring it about, and yet Gerard, quoting from Dioscorides (first century), says that 'nettles boiled with perrywinkles maketh the body soluble and doth it by a kind of cleansing quality." Few who believed it so would care to try the ex- periment —Longman's. A Truly True Dog Story, Here is an Australian dog story from th4ack blocks: A sheep dog had been brought from a station into a small township and fretted after the sheep. One day not a child was to be seen about the place, and as evening came the township became 'alarmed. Search was made. and the juveniles were found huddled up in the corner of a paddock, where the dog had rounded them up. Ile had no sheep to look aft- er, so he took the children. The nar- rator of this lie guarantees it as a fact. It Works Both Ways. "You are an ungrateful child! If it hadn't been for you, I could have gone to the mothers' congress." "If it hadn't been for me, you couldn't have gone, because you wouldn't have been a mother."—Cleveland Plain Deal- er. Stamped Them. She stamped her feet in pretty rage. "Ha. hal" sneered the heavy villain. "You'll have to pay excess postage on them. You had as well stamp tbem some more." True, her feet were not the kind that made Cinderella famous, but was it vat chivalryin him to say such things? —Baltimore American. A Railroad Alan's Story. "One of the worst starts 1 ever hart," said an engineer the other day, "was due to a large, lazy pig that had got on my mind. Nothing will slide a train more easily and destructively from the rails than live pork. This particular specimen had a habit of burrowing alongside the track. and it was a fair presumption that sooner or later he would find something to interest him between the rails and somebody would go down the bank. "I was coming down a hill one day at high speed and evening my neck for a comforting sight of piggy in his ac- customed place when, as I popped around the curve, a bright red flag as- saulted my anxious gaze. The connec- tion between that flag and the pig was only a bit of mental aberration on my part, but it was very vivid. .1 shut off and grabbed the whistle cord, but be- fore I could even screech for brakes I saw that the flag was only a red flan- nel shirt which the good woman of the shanty to which the pig belonged had hung on an improvised clothesline be- tween the telegraph poles. "That may not sound like much of a scare, but it represents a type that turns the railroad man's hair to a deli- cate asb eolor." Whoa Herrings Were plenty. In former days herrings were so abundant in Newfoundland waters that the most wanton slaughter of then was permitted without any restriction whatever. Seines were allowed to re- tain 1,000 or 2,000 barrels of the fish until they perished, and then the net was freed. and the whole contents fell to the bottom to pollute the ocean for miles around. When a poaching smack was captured, the herrings It bad on board were all thrown into the sea, and frequently boats when chased resorted to the same means to get rid of incrim- inating evidence. The fish then fetched only 50 cents a barrel of 500 herrings, or ten for a cent.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Making It Clear, The London Spectator tells, a fuuuy story of a definition given by a well known public speaker in an address to children. "Now, children," he said, "I propose to give you on the.present occasion an epitome of the life of St. Paul. Per- haps some of you are too young to un- derstand what the word `epitome' means. 'Epitome,' children, is in its signification synonymous with' synop- sis." Having made this simple and clear explaeatfon to the children, the speak- er went on with his story. The Diplomat's Solution. "And if an irresistible force meets an immovable body?" suggested his friend. "The situation, indeed, would be crit- I teal," admitted the eminent diplomat; "but, with mutual restraint and rea- sonable concessions, I see no reason to despair of an amicable settlement"— Puck. When Pins Were New, A curious fact in the early history of pins is that when they were first sold in "open shop" there was such a great demand for them that a code was pass- ed permitting their sale only on two days in the .year—the lst and 2d of January. Those days the court ladies and the city dames flocked to the de- pots to purchase them in such numbers that they were accounted festivals. pts" A Du *fa A. northern man sitctlped at the home of an Alabama plan9tiof the old school and was cordially t114 ited to "Light, salt, and be welcome." He "lit" and was,]:forthwith invited to take a toddy, in accord with the Ala- bama rules of hospitality. "Why," he said, "I saw a,nice bed of mint back there. Suppose Iget some of it and make a mint julep instead of a toddy." "A what, sah?" said the planter. "A mint julep. Haven't you ever tried them?" - "No, sale, nevah; but I'm willing, sah." They did try the fascinating bever- age, not once, but many times, and the northern man went away next day with reluctance. Two years later his business took him there again. At the gate he was met by the old colored butler, on whose hat, as he doffed it, was seen a band of crape. "Where's your master, sir?" he in- quired of the old darky. "He's dead, sah; died yeatiddy." "Dead! I'm shocked. What was the cause?" "Why, sah. 'bout two years ago one o' dem Yankees cum down heab and showed ole marse how to drink weeds in his red nicker, and he never stopped twell he died fum it."—St. Louis Post - Dispatch. Cheap Meals In London, "Speaking of cheap restaurants," said a gentleman who has just returned from a visit to Loudon to a Washing- ton Star writer, "reminds Inc of a din- ing saloon in the Whitechapel district of London where a relishing and fairly substantial meal may be had for a halfpenny, or 1 cent in our money. This cheap repast is not served up in the shape of a cut from a joint and two vegetables. It is a big brown pie, very juicy and very bot. The absence of beefsteak is evident when you cut the pie, but you find inside a liberal spriu- kling of sheep's liver, onions and tur- nips and a plentiful supply of gravy. For a halfpenny extra two slices of bread and a cup of tea are supplied. Between the hours of 12 and 2 the poor and hungry from all parts of the east end of the city flock to the dining room. Most of the patrons are shoeblacks, penny toy men, costermougers and now and then young clerks whose salaries will not permit them to indulge in a more costly dinner." Niue Tailors Make a Mail. "Nine tailors make a tnan" grew out of the old custom of bell ringing. The ringing of bells was formerly practiced from a belief in their efficacy to drive away evil spirits. The "tailors" in the above phrase is a corruption of the word "tellers," of strokes tolled at the end of knell. net 1. In some so a �l c i a es the de- parture of au adult was announced by nine strokes in succession. .Six were rung for a woman and three for a child. Hence it came to be said by those lis- tening for the announcement, "Niue tellers make a man," As this custom became less general and the allusion less generally understood there was an easy transition from the word "tellers" to the more familiar oue "tailors." That inevitable joker, Curran, took advantage of this popular saying to poke Dm in a good natured way at bis hosts on the occasion of his being en- tertained at dinner by 18 of the Guild of Tailors. Curran on' leaving rose and said, "Gentlemen, I wish you both good evening." Self Possessed. It was late and getting later. However, that did not stop the sound of muffled voices in the pallor. Meantime the gas meter worked steadily. The pater endured it as long as he Could and then resolved on heroic meas- ures. "Phyllis," he called from the head of the stairs, "has the morning paper conte yet?" 1'No, sir." replied the funny man on The Daily Bugle. "We are holding the form for an important decision." And the pater went back to bed, won- dering if they would keep house or live with him.—Colorado Spriggs Gazette. Clam That Pearl Divers Fear, • A11 sorts of superstitions prevail Among the- Pearl fishers of Ceylon, and a large business' 1s •done by sorcerers who sell charms to restrain the appe- tite of the sharks and to drive away the diabolical stingrays. Another peril which the diver dreads more than ei- ther stingray or shark is the giant clam, that weighs nearly half a ton when full grown. It will snap oft a man's legs like a pipestem if the victim chances to thrust a limb between its open jaws, or at all events will bold him until be drowns miserably. A Matter of Dialect. An elderly Scotsman was tried for a slight offense and was put in prison. The warder banded him a pail of wa- ter next morning, with the remark, "That's to clean your cell." What was bis astonishment on returning to find Sandy, who bad divested himself of his clothing, having a bath. "Good graciousr exclaimed the warder, "What are you doing Sandy?"

A Nice Family Mix Vp. 4 widower with a number of small children harried a widow who was similarly blessed. In due time the i newly married couple added to the number. Hearing a voice in the yai'd one day, the father went out to see what was the matter, "Well, what was it?" asked his wife as be returned out of breath. "Your children and my children were quarreling with our children," was the reply.—London Answers. Artistic. "An artistic girl," said the painting teacher, "is one who will pin blush roses upon a sky blue frock. An in - Artistic girl is one who will wear blue ribbon with a pink frock. Some eyes might not see any difference between! the two combinations, but there's all the difference in the world. One girl has no warrant for what she does. The other bas all nature for her authority." Timid Applause. During the earlier days of the reign of Queen Victoria dramatic', perform. ances were given at W(ndsor(castle un- der the management of Charles Kean. The audiences being limited and stiff- ly aristocratic, the applause was natu- rally net especially hearty, and the comedians felt the absence of the more demonstrative approval manifested in the regular theater. One evening the queen sent an equer- ry to Mr. Kean to know if the actors would like anything (meaning refresh- ments), when the actor replied, "Say to her majesty that we should be grateful for a little applause when the specta- tors are pleased." Back went the equerry and conveyed the message. At the end of the act there was a slight suggestion of hand - clapping and exceedingly gentle foot tapping. James Wallack, who knew nothing of the message sent to the queen, hearing the mild demonstration, pricked up his ears and inquired, "What is that?" Mr. Kean replied, "That, my dear Wallack, is applause," "God bless me!" retorted Wallack, "I thought it was some one shelling peas." The Promenade Stopped. It is related of Captain Deering that once when he was in command of a steamer running from Portland to St. John, he was unable to sleep on ac- count of the ceaseless tramp, tramp of some star gazing passenger on the hur- ricane deck overhead. After turning and twisting in his berth for half au hour, and the tramping still continuing, Captain Deering, enraged at the loss of his sleep, rushed out in' his nightshirt and climbed the ladder to the hurricane deck. The promenading passenger was frightened half out of his wits by the specter in white climbing up the lad- der, but was somewhat reassured wb n the specter bawled out: "Say, you; where are you going?" "To St. John," replied the promenad- er. "Got a ticket?" pursued the ghost. "Of course I have." "Well, then, you confounded fool, go and lie down somewhere—you needn't walk all the way to St. John," roared the enraged Deering, and the prome- nader stopped right there.—Baltimore Herald. How to Become Wealthy. In a New Hampshire city there dwells an octogenarian physician who in addition to his wide medical skill is known far and wide as a dispenser of blunt philosophy. The other day a young man of his' acquaintance called at his office. "I have not come for pills this thing, doctor," said the visitor, "but for ad- vice. You have lived many years in this world of toll and trouble and have had much experience. I am young, and I want you to tell me how to get rich." The aged practitioner gazed through bis glasses at the young man and in a deliberate tone said: "Yes; I can tell you. You are young and can accomplish your object if you will. Your plan is this: First, be indus- trious and economical. Save as much as possible and spend as little. Pile up the dollars and put them at interest. If you follow out these instructions, by the time you reach my age you'll be rich as Creesus and as mean as hades," —Buffalo Commercial. A Crank on Clothes. Sir Harry Poland, a British magis- trate noted for his brilliancy, was al- ways careless in his dress, Once his family persuaded him to go to Poole and order a fashionably cut suit. To the chagrin of the household Sir Harry looked more' outlandish in the new clothes than in his old ones. His broth- er-in-law went to see Poole about it. "It is not my fault, sir," the tailor assured him. "Every care was taken, but bow could we fit a gentleman who would Insist upon being measured sit- ting down?" And the only satisfaction that could be obtained from Sir Harry Poland himself later on was the dry comment: "Well, it's my business and not yours. I like to be comfortable. 1 spend three parts of my life sitting down, and I preferred to be measured so." The Finlanders. No northern people are hardier or more spirited than the Finlanders, with their clear complexions and dark blue eyes. In spite of their harsh cli- mate they have the most healthful liv- ing of perhaps any of the northern races and keep equal degrees of ro- mance. daring and good feeling in their natures. You do not find imagination, force and adventure in a race without coarse, plenteous fare, pure air and cleanliness. Ills Only Meanest. It happened once that a faithful Mos- lem married, but when he saw his wife she proved to be very unprepos- sessing. Some days after the marriage bis wife said to him, "My dove, as you have many relatives, I wish you would let me know before whom I may un- veil." "My gazelle," be replied, "if thou wilt only hide, thy face from me I care not to whom thou showest it." Did They? There is nothing much more die• tressing than an unfinished story. A number of people in a London drawing room were conversing about capital punishment when a lady remarked: "How strange it must seem to be sentenced to death!" "Not so very, very strange, I assure you. 1 was myself once condemned to death in Africa," said a returned Airiest! explorer. "Indeed!" exclaimed the lady. "And were you—did they"— "Did they what, madame?" "Why, did they execute you, you know?"—Exchange. Displaying His Caption.

As soon as Brother Willie carte in and got the phonograph he had inadvertently left on the table every- thing was all right again."—Chicago Post. 'The Noise Habit. The New Yorker contracts in time what may be called the noise habit. Noise with slim becomes a dissipation. His nervous system demands it. This is illustrated by the sensations he ex- periences when he goes into the woods or mountains after a continuous stay in the city for many months. His first feeling is one of loneliness; something seems to have suddenly gone out of his life. Every tree seems to say, "Why have you been so hot and noisy, my lit- tle sir?" His sensations are somewhat akin to those of a drunkard who has been under alcoholic stimulation for a long time and suddenly has his drink taken from him. His whole nervous system feels the lack of the irritation and stimulation of the city noise, to Which it has become accustomed. The stillness actually appals and depresses him. The streets of New York are deep, narrow channels, and they are growing constantly deeper as the buildings in- crease in height. These large reflect- ing surfaces on three sides of him make the condition of the man in the street like that of the workman who suffers from reflected noise while he hammers rivets on the inside of a boil- er.—Munsey's Magazine. Four and Its Multiple of Ten. The number four was anciently es- teemed the most perfect of all, being the arithmetical mean between one and seven. Omah, the second caliph, said, "Four things come not back—the spo- ken word, the sped arrow, the past life, the neglected opportunity." In nature there are four seasons, and the four points of the compass. Forty, a multiple of four by ten, is one of the sacred numbers. The pro- bation of our first parents in the garden of Eden is supposed to have been 40 years. The rain fell at the deluge 40 days and nights, and the water re- mained on the earth 40 days. The days of embalming the dead were 40. Solomon's temple was 40 cubits long. Iii it were ten lavers, each four cubits long and containing 40 baths. Moses was 40 years old when he fled into the land of Midian, where he dwelt 40 years. He was on Mount Sinai 40 days and 40 nights. The Is- raelites wandered in the wilderness 40 years. The Saviour fasted 40 days and nights before entering upon public life. The same time elapsed between the resurrection and the ascension. Didn't Teach film Tisat Trick. "That's a werry knowing animal o' yours," said a cockney gentleman to the keeper of an elephant, "Very," was the cool rejoinder. "He performs strange tricks and ban - tics, does he?" inquired the cockney, eying the animal through his glass. "Surprisin!" retorted the. keeper. "We've learned hum to put money in that box you see up there. Try him with half a crown." The cockney handed the elephant half a crown, and, sure enough, he took it in his trunk and placed it in a box high up out of reach. "Well, that is very hextraordinry— hastonishing, truly!" said the green one, opening his eyes. "Now let's see him take it out and 'and it back." "We never learned him that trick," retorted the keeper and then turned away to stir up the monkeys and punch the hyenas.—London Tit -Bits, The Deserving One. Iloyt, with a playwright friend, was once witnessing the production of a play—not his own -says the New York Clipper. The leading man was well known to be a poor "study," and this night was on very unfamiliar terms with his part. The voice of the prompt- er was continuously in evidence, tbough this was overlooked, for the actor was a great favorite. Just before the end of the act Hoyt went out, but returned a moment later just as the curtain went down on deaf- ening applause. "Who are they calling for?" he askeu of his friend, who answered by naming the leading man, whom, to spare his feelings, we will call X. "-1 (This stands for a little swear word.) I don't see what they want X *for. I should think they would call for the prompter." Just the Sante. Augustus Hare tells this story in his autobiography of a friend who in some Ways was one of the most absentmind- ed men in the world: One day, meeting a friend, he said' "Hello, what a long time it is since I've seen you! .low's your father?" "Oh, ply father's dead." "God bless me! I'm very sorry." The next year he met the same man again and had forgotten all about it, so began with: "Hello, what a long time Pince I've seen you! How's your fa- ther?' "Ob, my father's dead still." Novel Arnmanttaon, During the sieges of mediaeval times it was very common for the beleaguers to throw from their catapults and oth- er military engines dead bodies of dogs, swine, together with pieces of horse- flesh and similar carrion into the city or castle besieged in order that the de- fenders might by the stench of this putridity be forced to a surrender.

I have see the statement that watches vary 1 time keeping with the health of th wearer and that if changed from on person to another they will also sho slight variations. All of that isktru The static electricity of a person ma affect a watch. All of us throw) thi off—some more than others. Dark;per sons give off more than light ones d and a dark woman more than any on else. Dark women should have rubbe cases for their watches if they wis to have them keep perfect time. "Never lay a watch fiat at night aft er it has been worn in a vertical posi tion all day. It throws it off its base so to speak. If the pivots be worn, th wheels will not run level. "A sudden jar will often stop a watch which runs regularly at that—such jar as getting on or off a car suddenly The hairspring's catching does this The jolt comes at the exact fraction of a second when the spring is in a post - tion to catch. This occurs at infre- quent intervals, as may be readily im- agined. A watchnshould be fed or oiled every 18 months, even if running in the best of time. The oil dries In that time, and the wheels are likely to wear one another. "All jewelers examine watches in the same way. It seems to be a tradition of the craft. First, a man will look at the hands, as I have been doing. If they are not caught, they will take out the balance wheel and examine the pin and the pivots, which you see here. Sometimes I do not find the trouble for days. The hardest thing to detect is a slight 'bur' on one of the wheels. This may throw the entire watch out of gear. "Now, I will wind this watch of yours and show you that all the trouble with it is that it is run down. Unusual? Oh, no. That frequently happens. Some one is in here every day with an unwound watch, thinking that it is out of kelter because it will not run. They forget to wind it and are afraid to do it over again. Women are our best cus- tomers in that line. Of course I could get $1 for this, but the talk will an- swer. "Now, when you go home wind your watch in the morning; 110, not at bed- time, but when you get up. That gives It the full spring to work on during the day, when the jars and jolts are more numerous, and hold your watch still when you wind it and wind the key. That's all; try that." And the jeweler handed back the watch, running beautifully. — Kansas City Journal. he d ke ey en t- ey a it it es- er n- ly e a u - It It d e 12- ey - e' e. e n n e e w e. y a 0 e r h e a Chinese Uses of Flour. Throughout central and southern China very little baked bread is used. and the flour is consumed in the form of dough, vermicelli or dumplings filled with chopped meat or meat and vege- tables or fruit. The flour Is made into dough and worked into a leathery form by a man operating a bamboo fastened at one end. The worker sits on the other end of the bamboo and presses and works the dough until it is quite tough. It is then pressed into thin sheets and cut into strings, boiled and thus eaten or made into dumplings and then steamed and eaten. In nearly every case it Is eaten while hot. This flour is also used quite extensively in cakes and Chinese confections of various kinds. In a great many of the restaurants the native flour made from native wheat is used for the inside of the dumpling and dough bread, and the finer and whiter flour is used as a covering. The Chinese appetite seems to de- mand boiled or steamed food rather than baked. Hence very little foreign flour Is baked into bread for Chinese consumption. Cooking Your Goose. The phrase, "I'll cook your goose for you," originated in this manner: Eric, king of Sweden, coming to a certain town, besieged it, but, having few sol- diers, was obliged to desist. The in- habitants In derision hung out from the walls a goose on a pole. Later Eric returned with re -enforcements and in reply to the challenge of the her- alds observed that he had come "to cook their goose for them" and pro- ceeded to storm the town and make it hot for the inhabitants.

WQRK IN A LIGHTHOUSE. Daily Tasks Performed In Keeping the Lamps Bright. The duties of the lighthouse keeper are many and important. The top of the tower Is usually a tiny room, all glass windows. The lantern is in the center of the room. It Is a great prism of glass, in shape like a beehive. The lamp is set into this, and the lenses magnify the comparatively small light of the lamp and make It a great beacon seen far off over the waters. Should the luminant be a flashlight, there is machinery to be wound up every few hours to cause it to revolve. At sunset the keeper climbs the steep steps in the high tower, takes down the curtains that darken it throughout the day and sets the lamp inside the lantern. At midnight the lamp is changed. A fresh- ly tilled one is put in the place of the first lighted one. Wben storms are raging or fogs pre- vailing, the keeper stays awake to wind the machinery that keeps the fog signal booming over the water. Many sleepless nights are thus spent by the light keepers in devoted vigil of the aids to navigation. At the gray of dawn the keeper is again climbing the steep iron ladder to the tower top. *Be- fore the red rim of the sun appears the lamp is extinguished. the fine prismatic lenses are covered, and the huge panes of glass that form the walls of the room are curtained. The large lamp is carried down the flights of an almost perpendicular ladder and when filled, trimmed and cleaned is ready for the sunset hour. The work of the keeper is not concluded with this feat. The most perplexing portion of the dally routine Is now to be performed. The light keeper must give an ac- count of his stewardship. A record is kept of every gill, pint, quart and gal- lon of oil that is nightly consumed by the lamps. the fractional parts of Inch- es of wick burned, the lamp chimneys broken and the general consumption of ail supplies furnished yearly in large quantities by the government.—Wom- an's Home Companion. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Currants are delicious when served with bananas. Slice the latter fruit and add plenty of sugar because of the acidity of the currants. For cleaning a hairbrush use a weak solution of soda water. When tepid, shake the bristles In it. They will be cleaned without being weakened. Space in a closet can be much in- creased by using bangers or wire forms hung on slats put across above the wooden strips that hold the usual hooks. How do you get tbe parafin on top of the jelly? Put a piece that you think when melted will cover tbe jelly in the glass. Pour the hot jelly In. The wax will come to the top. When you wash handkerchiefs, col- lars, etc., put them 1n a pillowslip be- fore they go into the boiler. You spend no time fishing for them, and they don't get lost or thrown out with the suds. Pineapple juice drained from the fruit and mixed with cudrant, lemon, blackberry or raspberry juice makes a delicious drink. A few wedges left to float in the lemonade bowl Improves the flavor of that beverage. All on $00 a Year. A clergyman by the name of Mathson was minister of Patterdale, In West- moreland, England, GO years and died at the age of 90. During the early part of his life his benefice brought him only f12 a year. It was afterward increased to £18, which it never exceeded. On this income he married, brought up four children and lived comfortably with his neighbors, educated a son at the university and left behind ibm upward of a thousand pounds.

No trees grow anywhere on the coast of western and northern Alaska, and yet these shores for thousands of miles and the islands of Bering sea are strewn with Immense quantities of driftwood, In places piled high on the beach, bearing good testimony to tbe work of the rivers. This drift is the salvation of the Eskimo, furnishing bin with fuel and material for houses, boats and sleds. The entire northeast- ern ball of Bering sea 1s very shoal, less than 500 feet In depth. while the southwestern half is mostly about 12.- 000 feet deep. Pressed Flowers. Several methods of preserving the natural color of pressed flowers have been suggested, but the best. It is said, is that used to tbe New York botan- ical garden: Atter the specimens have been under pressure for a day or two they are laid in papers heated In the sun, and this Is repeated until the drying Is completed.

Suggestive Notes on Interior Wor Furniture and Pictures. The diuteg room in a house near New York has had the walls divided into three portions by a chair rail, about two and a half feet from the floor, and by a shelf, some two feet be- low the ceiling. The woodwork is all finished in ivory enamel. The upper and lower portions of the wall have been hung with forest green burlap, against which a choice collection of quaint steins and other picturesque pottery, artistically arranged upon the shelf, stands out in bold relief. The middle part of the wall has been hung with dull red burlap, and upon this part the owner has hung oil paintings in broad, flat gilt frames, spacing at in- tervals to suit his fancy. The furni- ture, oft rather quaint and picturesque type, is of a forest green oak, the chairs being thinly upiu+istered in vel- vet. On one side of tile room is a great fireplace cir rough red brick laid in green mortar, running up to the shelf molding under the frieze, which breaks round the chimney breast to form a mantel. On either side of the fireplace opening are projected seats. plain and simple in their fashioning; that are heaped high with gay cush- ions and afford a comfortable resting place, says The Art Interchange, ili which occur the following, among oth- er, suggestive notes: Curly maple is a delightful wood, particularly when dull finished. Like mahogany, it requires some expanse of surface to show its grain satisfactorily and appears to better advantage In large pieces of furniture. This is true of birdseye maple also. Both need but little more than a smooth. fine beading to relieve the eye. Chestnut and ash and oak, on the contrary, are monoto- nous in grain. To get variety the cab- inet maker has recourse to spindle work, elaborately turned legs and met- al work. Cherry Is a cheap, much de - spired wood, but very pretty furniture can be found made from it notwith- standing. When a person possesses a large number of small pictures, like photo- graphs or etchings, If they are the same size or of sizes which can be made to combine it is better to frame three or four of them together. with a single mat cut to the various sized openings. When they are of different sizes which do not arrange themselves, obviously it is better to follow the rule of "make up" in magazines of growing toward the right—that is, putting the larger and darker ones on the right hand side of the frame, so as to pro- duce a sort of climax, as the eye -natu- rally travels in that direction. The frame should be of the small, round oak molding, only large enough to hold- the glass, and the mats, three Inches outside the photographs and two between, should be a yellow olive or cream. k, I Meat Dealers, It Is Said, Never Die of Consumption. "Butchers never die of consumption." The big man with his sleeves rolled up, wielding the cleaver at the block, said this as he threw a beefsteak on the scale. It sounded more like a trade supersti- tion than a fact, but so far as diligent Inquiry has been able to discover it is true, although not generally known outside of the meat chopping craft. Butchers are no longer lived than men in other walks of life. They are subject to all the other ills that human flesh is heir to, but consumption they do not have. So far as a reporter was able to learn not a single ease Is on record of a butcher In this city being afflicted with the incurable wasting of the lungs which claims Its hundreds of thousands of victims annually. The fact is well known among butch- ers and has been often the subject of their comment, although none of them can give a reason for it. "No," said a man who has swung sides and rounds in Washington mar- ket for the last 20 years; "1 have had rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots of other things, but nothing has ever been out of gear with my lungs, and the same is true of every other butcher In this town. I know nearly all of them, and I never heard of one of them having consumption. They don't drink blood or take any especially good care of themselves either. I don't know why it should be so unless it's because the conthlual inhaling of an atmos- phere of fresh meat Is strengthening. "I have often thought when hearing of consumptives going to Colorado and Egypt that 1 know of a climate nearer home that would do the business just as well. If they would stay in this stall for awhile and swing meat, they would get well quite as quickly as they would on the top of Pike's peak."—New York Mall and Express. BUTG'HERS ARE IMMUNE. A DAINTY DISH. A Good Fruit Accompaniment For a Midday Lunch. For the midday lunch on a hot day this dish Is a dainty accompaniment. Pick one-half box berries carefully over and press through a sieve and add to RED RASPBERRY TRIFLE. the pulp one cup of sugar, juice of one- half lemon and cook until very thick. Remove from the- fire and add by spoonfuls to the whites of four eggs beaten stiff and dry, beating slowly all the time the berry is being added. Then pour into a buttered mold and bake In a moderate oven until when touched with the finger it does not ad- here. Let it become cold, unmold in a pretty glass dish and surround with rhe remainder of the fruit. Plain cream is best to serve wise this, but it Is equally excellent without. The success of this delicate article Is cooking the fruit thoroughly and hav- ing the eggs beaten to the right con- sistency. A good test for the latter Is when the beaten white can be heaped into a pointed mound without losing shape and forming on the apex what the bakers call a "dog ear."—House- hold. The Crows' Judicial System. That feature of crew life that we might call the judiciary system has in- terested ornithologists more than any- thing else. There seems to be no doubt that crows have a judicial system for the trial and punishment of culprits. According to the accounts of reputable observers, the crow courts are conduct- ed something after this fashion: A sol- emn conclave of old crokers is held on a tree. A crestfallen prisoner Is among them. Three or four old fellows, pirbb- ably crow lawyers, will jabber away for awhile, and then there will be an apparent consultation of the whole flock sitting as a jury. If the verdict be against the prisoner, he is sentenced, to death and turned over to tbe execu- tioners, who peck the life out of him.— Exchange. A Reason. "My dear," said Growells, "you are simply talking nonsense." . "I know It," replied his better half, "but it's because I want you to under- stand what I say." DOGS. There are nearly 200 distinct varieties of dogs. Foxhounds give cry, but deerhounds hunt in silence. The greyhound Is the only dog which bunts by sight. A pure bred staghound never attacks the head of bis quarry. Only in the temperate zone is the dog found perfect in courage and speed. The Italian greyhound Is reputed to be the most symmetrical of all animals. Skye terriers have been known to jump into the river and land hooked fish, which they take carefully by the back. Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing a well laden sledge GO tniles in a day. Their harness 1s of the lightest, only a single trace and no reins. Women Cannot Doss Each Other. The old -theory that woman is man's helper seems Incorrigibly well founded, says E. S. Martin in McClure's Maga- zine. If the situation Isn't satisfactory to her, there is no help for it, for the conditions it came out of seem to be eternal. Women may vote. They will be none the less man's helpers if they do. They never will band together to put man down and teach him his place. They will push him ahead if they can, they will pull him along when they must, they will influence him enor- mously, as they always have done - but they will never conspire together on any very great scale to make him play second fiddle. Some one has got to be master. Women in general will never agree to have women bosses so long as there are competent men for that use. Kaffir Banking. The Kaffhrs have a si• iple method of banking. Before setting out to trade they select one of their number as their banker and put all their money in his bag. When an article is pur- chased by any of those who are in this combine, the price is taken by the banker from the bag, counted several times and then paid to the seller, after which all the bank depositors cry out to the banker in the presence of two witnesses selected, "You owe me so much." This is then repeated by the witnesses. The general accounting comes between the banker and his sev- eral depositors when all the purchases have been made, after which all the natives go home. Varying Values of Food. Fourteea oysters are equal to only one egg. Pea soup Is nutritibus, but td live on it you would need a daily sup- ply of 24 platefuls. A purely vegetable diet is too bulky, yet it may be good for the gouty and the obese. It is true that the Scottish peasantry, their coun- try's pride, are nurtured on oatmeal, but It Is liberally supplemented by milk. Rational life is a compromise. You want the happy mean "between the tiger pacing Its cage and the cow lying upon the grass."—Dr. Hutchin- son's "Dietetics." The Passions. We say of a man who has no will mastery, "He is ruled by his passions." They govern him, not be them. Centu- ries ago an Arab wrote, "Passion is a tyrant which slays those whom It gov- erns." It is like fire, which once thor- oughly kindled can scarcely be quench- ed, or tike the torrent, which when it la swollen can no longer - be restrained with Its banks. Call him not a prisoner who has been put in fetters by his en- emy, but rather him whose own pas- sions overpower him to destruction. The Throne of Lilies. The throne et France is called "the throne of lilies" because of the old na- tional emblem—the fleur-de-lis, a spe- cies of lily. The story of the adoption of the fleur-de-lis is partly historical and partly legendary. According to history, Clovis, king of the Franks, married the Princess Clo- tilde of Burgundy in A. D. 493. The young queen. who was a Christian, ear- nestly desired the conversion of her husband, who, like most of the Frank- ish nation, was a heathen. Her argu- ments, however, had but little effect upon him. In 496 the Franks and the Allemanni (Germans) were at war, and at the battle of Talbiac, near Cologne, Clovis was so hard pressed by his en- emies that In desperation be called up- on the God of the Christians for help, vowing that should he obtain victory he would himself become h Christian. The Ailemanni were routed, and on Christmas day of the same year Clovis and several thousand of his soldiers were baptized. The continuation of the story, which is legendary, is that on the eve of his baptism an angel from heaven present- ec,King Clovis with a blue banner em- broidered with golden fleur-de-lis, which he was to adopt as the banner of France. However this may have been, the fact remains that from the time of Clovis to the French revolution the kings of France bore as their arms first an indefinite number and latterly three golden lines en an azure field. Finest Sevres In the World. At Buckingham palaee there is an apartment called the Bow library, which i intains one of the finest collec- tions of Sevres In the world. There also is an immense Chinese plaque or trophy taken as loot from a palace in Peking during one of the Chinese wars early in Victoria's reign. It is said that a great Chinese noble who was very anxious to see Buckingham palace once recognized and identified It with some show of displeasure. Two immense rectangular oriental vases over four feet high stand on the floor of one of the rooms and have the comparatively narrow medallioned necks and lids with which cheap mod- ern Kaga specimens have made us all familiar. They are of rich dark blue, pencil gilt, and the small medallions and large panels are all white and most gracefully painted with flowers, and in one central panel with the bit of wall indicated in the common willow pattern. A couple of large vases of the tear bottle shape are also of this rich blue, trellised with gold and with white panels on the round part painted with flowers. There are also some fine examples of green crackled celadon, the old eastern kind, in which a pale sea green color was mixed with the paste before firing and very different from any colorings put on the surface after- ward. Poisonbas Silk Stockings. In producing certain delicate colors in silk chloride of tin is used as a mor - daunt, and it is said that unless great care is taken a large proportion of it remains in the completed fabric. In the case of stockings or any garment next the skin the perspiration may dis- solve the tin, and it is then absorbed by the skin. A case is reported from Vienna of a woman who suffered from attacks of paralysis in the lower ex- tremities, with numbness, a sense of coldness and a peculiar jerkiness of the legs in walking. She noticed tha whenever these symptoms were the worst her feet were colored yellow, and it was found that this staining was caused by light yellow silk stockings which she wore. They were analyzed and considerable quantities of tin found. The obvious moral of this, says The Hospital, is that ladies should not wear pretty silks next their skin In h< weather unless they can be sure they are not mordaunted with tin salts. Colors which are "fast" in relation to ordinary washing are frequently read- ily soluble in perspiration. Telegraphy and Invention. The Abbe Barthelemy seems to have had a prevision of the practical use to be made of electricity in sending mes- sages. Writing to Mme. du Deffand in 1772, he observes: "It is said that with two timepieces, the hands of which are magnetic, it is enough to move one of these hands to make the other take the same direc- tion, so that by causing one to strike 12 the other will strike the same hour. Let us suppose that artificial magnets were improved to the point that their virtue could communicate itself from here to Paris. You have one of these timepieces, we another of them. In- steati of hours we find the letters of the alphabet on the dial. Every day at a certain hour we turn the hand, and M. Wlard, Mme. du Deffand's sec- retary, puts together the letters and reads. This idea pleases me immense- ly. It would soon be corrupted by ap- plying it to spying In armies and in politics, but it would be very agreea- ble in commerce and in friendship." Tao Kueb.

Foster in Longman's Magazine. HE MEANT WELL. An Obliging Man Who Made an Em- barrassing Mistake. A young editor took an apartment on South Twelfth street. The landlady said frankly to him: "I will tell you, sir, that my husband is a worthless fel- low. I have to support him, and he sometimes comes home very late, drunk. There is no other objection to my house." The editor said this was no matter and thought no more of it until a few nights later, when a great uproar In the street awoke him. He looked out of the window and saw a BAB lying on the doorstep shouting rib- ald tide N. "The husband," thought the editor. "I'll go down and let him In." He ran forth in his pyjamas, grabbed the husband by the neck and, jerking him into the hallway, proceeded to drag him up stairs. But the man made strong objections to this treatment. He howled oaths and abuse, kicked, strug- gled, even pulled out a handful of the young editor's hair, but this was in vain, for the youth is strong and of a determined mind, and he was bound that be would do his landlady a good turn. He had got perhaps three parts of the way up stairs with his burden when two heads were poked in the dim light over the balustrade, and the land- lady's voice said, "Why, Mr. Blank, what are you doing?" The editor panted as he took a fresh hold and at the same time ducked a sharp uppercut: "I'm bringing your husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again, I'm sorry to say." From the other head on the landing these words then issued in a deep bass voice: "What do you mean, young fel- ler, by 'drunk again?' I'm this lady's husband. That man doesn't belong here." Instantly realizing his mistake, the editor dumped his charge out into the street again. Then he returned and apologized lamely to the rightful hus- band for bis strange words.—Philadel- phia Record. Itow "The Autocrat" Popped. It was on the Common that we were walking. The mall, or boulevard, of our Common, you know, has various branches leading from it In different directions. One of these runs down from opposite Joy street southward across the whole length of the Com- mon to Boylston street. We called it the long path and were fond of it. I felt very weak indeed, though of a tolerably robust habit, as we came op- -posite the head of this path on that morning. I think I tried to speak twice without making myself distinct- ly audible. At last I got out the question, "Will you take the long path with me?" "Certainly," said the schoolmistress; "with much pleasure." "Think," I said, "before you answer. If you take the long path with me now, I shall in- terpret it that we are to part no more." The schoolmistress stepped back, with a sudden movement, as if an arrow had struck her. One of the granite blocks used as seats was bard by — the one you may still see close by the gingko tree: "Pray, sit down," I said. "No, no," she answered softly. "I will walk the long path with you." The old gentleman who sits opposite met us walking arm In arm about the middle of the long path and said very charmingly, "Good morning, my dears." —Oliver Wendell Holmes. Turning the Tables. "Turning the tables," In the sense of bringing a countercharge against an accuser, has a classic origin. In the days of Augustus Imperator a regular craze seized the men of Rome to com- pete with one another for the posses- sion of the costliest specimens of a cer- tain description of table made for the most part of Mauritana wood inlaid with ivory—"mensar-tum insania," or ta- ble mania, as Pliny called it. Tbey were sold at most extravagant prices. When the men accused the ladies of sumptu- ary extravagance, the latter naturally retorted by reference to the money squandered by their lords on these ta- bles and so "turned the tables on them" by throwing them metapborically in their teeth. Frigga. Frigga. from whom Friday Is deriv- ed, was either a god or a goddess, ac- cording to time and country.

IRVING TODD a SON. , SATURDAY AUG. ad, 1901. -- The Pan-American Exposition. All great exhibitions designed the entertainment or -instruction the masies are invariably judged comparison, consequently the cr eismsof the Pau -American Expositi at Buffalo -are mainly founded upo exPeriences of the Columbian Expo tion -at ChiCago, the prototype of t later and more local aggregations Atlanta and Omaha. Few of us w ever again witness such a marvel() 'display as. that afforded at the Wit City in 1893, where the average v itor was simply overwhelmed by t proftision and magnificence of. t exhibits from all parts of the kno% earth. Vet in point of locatio grouping- of buildings, and partic lark in illuminatiOn the Rrtinbowei clearly marks the progress of scien and industry during the past deca and the wonderful possibilities store for our people, and will .n suffer -in the contrast with its mo - pretentious predecessor. The grounds are. most artistica] laid out. taking every advantage a natural park, 'with plenty of sha and water, and landscape in abun . gnee. The cream colored buildin . e systematic in arrangement, amp door space, and light up beautifu ly.- In fact, the improvement lectrical appliances has done mo _ -0 give this latest bidder for publ atronage a pre-eminence _among i eers than any other one thing. A evening spent in -the esplanade, lit b hundreds of thousands of incande cent lamps, cooled by scares of fou - talus, and listening to the music - the bands. is fully worth the trouhl and estc2se of the trip. • The exhibits, while not on th scale of a world's fair, are larg enough and more than any _one care to see. Walking through the aisles with a look here and there at objects .of personal interest, will take more time MOSt of us can well afford to spend upon a •single outing. Of coarse - there -is a Midway, for an exposition could :not exist with- _ out one any more than iv state.fair could without its horse trot. Some of the concessions are very• good, others to'erable, and a few not -worth the price of: admission. Among the best are the Indian Congress, the Johnstown Flood. the Trip to the Moon, the Esquimaux, Japanese, Fillipino, and Afriean villages, Bos- toek's Animal Show, the Diving EMI*, Mil Jerusalem at the Crucifixion. The (.1aiirts of Minnesota as the Bread and Butter State are very cred- itably -presented in the exhibits at the agrieultural manufacturing, and ittiry buildings:the Indian maiden in grain and grasses and the model of the state 'capitol in butter probably attracting more attention. than any two other displays. They ,are well designed. and as an - advertisement certainly deserve the place at the top of column, next to reading matter. :1•Iinnesota will .derive more benefit from the $30,000 appropriation of 1901 than it did from the $100,000 appropriation of 1893, the commis- sioners this • year only drawiug actual expenses, and that limited -to $600. Our State building, for in- . stance, probably -did not cost a quar- ter of thatin Chicago, Still it is just as cOmfortable, and in some respects •an improvement. One or more of the commissioners aml assistants are always'on hand todo the honors, and ; the efficient manager. Mr. James Mc Milian, is a h6st in himself. The wall s -pace is devoted to our school exhibits, for which room could not filititioed elsewhere. Buffalo is a beautiful city, with well paved, shady streets, substantial public- and private edifices, and an unsurpassed street ear serviee. Her citizena'are hospitable, and did every- thing in their power to make the stay of the newspaper folks agreeable- and long to be retnembered. Among the excursions were the lake and Niagara trips, and banquet at Statler's Hotel. The cost of the visit is not extrav- agant, , considering the distance. Reduced rates are give!, by the rail, roads, and good rooms may be had at $1 per daY, in most instan- ces ineluding breakfast. Meals from twenty-five cents up, according to taste. Those who care to spend more can he easily accommodated at several of the down town hotels. Constantinople is the title of a spectacular play at Teck's Theatre, a rivai to the famousArnerica theChi- cago Auditorium.

But what can The Gazette expect when the third district congressman won't allow a good foreign appointment to come to Haatings?—Minneapolis Tribune. The member of congress from the third district very naturally protested against the appointment of the secre- tary of the democratic congressional committee, and the commission was withdrawn. This, however, has noth- ing to do with the appointment of any third district republican to a state office, neither is Minneapolis the whole thing in a general election. Five state boards went out of ex- istence on Wednesday, corrections and charities, prison, insane hospitals, training school, and reformatory, their duties being transferred to the new board of control, which also has full financial authority over the normal schools, the public school for dependent children, and the schools for the deaf and blind.

The Presbyterian Church. The Rev. M. R. Paradis delivered his farewell sermon lastSunday morn- ing, the audience being an unusually large one, there being no services in the Episcopal, Baptist, or Methodist Churches. The following testimonial was adopted by a rising vote: The resignation of our pastor, the Rev. M. R. Paradis, which was recently ten- dered to your session. has been acted upon by them and was accepted with great reluctance, and it seems fitting to give the members of the church and congregation this opportunity to express with us their love, sympathy, and appreciation of this pastor and his wife. Seldom to any church is granted the blessing of such leadership. Mr and Mrs. Paradis have not only been most untiring 'in their zeal for the highest interest of the church, but they have given help and inspiration to every department of our work, and while they have been in every sense of the term loyal to all the demands within the church, the feeling of regret at this separation is not confined there, but finds expression throughout the community with words of waren appreciation from every source; happily proving that with broad interests they have been faithful and sympathetic friends to all who have come within their far reaching influence. We keenly regret that this Large service has not been given without great sacri- fice of health and strength. The relief and rest from pressing church duties has been more than a well earned one, and it is certainly our.unanimous wish, and we may truly say the unanimous wish of the community. that Mr. and Mrs. Paradis may remain in Hastings where they are so honored and beloved until sufficiently restored to assume another pastorate. Therefore. be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the First Presbyterian Church and congregation, deeply regret the cir- cumstances that force this step, and feel that we cannot sever this connection without expressing our high esteem and great love for Mr. Paradis and family, and our appreciation of his services dur- ing a residence among us of more than four years. We recognize in him an hon- orable. upright man, an earnest, faithful christian. and a hard working pastor, and herewith take pleasure in commending him to any field to which the Lord may call him, and we as a church and congre- gation wish him greatsuccess in his labors and our Father's best blessings for him- self and family. In Memoriam. The following resolutions were adopted by the Methodist Sunday school on Sunday: We, the members of the Methodist Sun- day school, desiring to express our appre- ciation of the services of our late beloved sister, Miss Ella B. Lathrop, who has for many years been our teacher and a wil- ling worker in his vineyard, do hereby show our deep sorrow for the loss sustain- ed by her death and calmly say, "Thy will be done." We also extend our sym- pathy to the bereaved ones, who more deeply feel the loss of this good and faith- ful. servant. The following resolutions were adopted by the Epworth League on Thursday evening: WHEREAS, God in his infinite wisdom and mercy has seen fit to take from our midst our beloved sister. Miss Ella B.

Resolved, That we. the members of the Epworth League of Hastings, do hereby express our deep sorrow because of her sudden departure from us, she being in the prime of her christian work; that we inspired by her love and fidelity to God and humanity and her Christ like exam- ple will endeavor so to live that we may meet her again. We also extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones in their sad affliction. The Week's Shipments. SATURDAY. D. L. Thompson, car oats west. - Miller Bros., two cars rye east.

In the pass of Windy Gap, among the mountains of Slieve Margy, it was April, and the brook, that came with the winds from higher lands and leap- ed, singing, down through the gap, went into the valley by banks of prim- roses and carried away in its water dropped catkins from the overhanging willows and thin brown sheaths that had been hiding young buds from the sun and rain. It was on the very last day of the month that Dan Heffernan of Windy Gap came to his father where he was plowing in the steep field and walked by his side on the unbroken sod and told him that he was going to seek a wife. The father began to count the comfortable young women in the par- ish. "There's Kate O'Connor, a likely girl, or Grace Rohan, that ,has a roll o' guineas tied up in a stockin," he said. He drove the bright plowshare into the earth and urged on the meek cattle up the slope. The sun was dipping behind Slieve Ruadb, evening birds began to pipe and lilt from the green copses, and a host of crows were in the track of the plow, watching for worms and gar- rulous among themselves. "Or mebbe you'd be havin an eye on the widow . woman—a fine armful,"• said the fa- ther. The cheek of the young man red- dened. He had no fancy for Mollie Do- heny, the widow woman. A year makes a great difference in the feelings of a young man. "I went courtin her last summer," said Dan to his father, "but it was be- fore the uncle in Tipperary town left me that bit o' money, an she said 'No' to me." The round gold sun rolled ?out of sight over the edge of the mountain. The young man looked up as the last gleam went, and he saw in heaven lit- tle clouds hovering. He thought that they were like young rosy angels and that the countenance of every angel was bent in love upon a homely cabin standing far and lonely on the brow of the hill. "Mollie was a sensible woman, fa- ther," said Dan. "An that's no bad compliment to put upon her, but I'm goin elsewhere for a wife." It was then that the ofd man follow- ed the way of his son's looks and saw how they went to the cabin In the green dusk of the distant mountain cleft. "Saints an angels! 'Tisn't Noreen O'Driscoll you have in your mind!" he said with a shout and gave the ropes such a pull that the plow horses came to a stand, while the crows flew away in affright at the noise and made it ten- fold greater with their cawing and the flapping of their black wings. "Sure, Noreen has no more nor one sickly Con to get for her portion," grumbled the father. And then he gave a snort of derision and shook the ropes on the backs of the cattle until they went again on their pati rt way over the brown furrow that as sweet and fresh of smell in then' April evening. The father tramped along moody and silent, determined to set his face against this poor marriage that his boy was considering. Noreen O'Driscoll in- deed! Fitter far for Dan to look out for a comfortable woman with a few sleek cows to match his own. The son left his father's side and went from the field by the gate in the low style wall that was half hidden in deep, soft mosses avid plumy fern. He strode up the mountain, over the gray grass and the golden beaded furze that was filling the darkening air with the scent of honey. Pure and high and lonely was the evening star in that misty blue heaven from which the rosy angels had flown after the sun. There was a beaten path up the hill to that cabin they had smiled upon in love, and soon Dan Heffernan was treading the white riband and at its end, which was the door of Noreen's home. The cabin was well. nigh dark, what with the haze of the turf smoke and the hour that was in it, but Dan saw the mother of Noreen knitting beside the hearth, and who should happen to be her companion but Mollie Doheny, the widow woman. The young man was no whit sorry to see her there. His black eyes flashed as be bade her the time of evening and sat himself on the creepie stool by Mrs. O'Driscoll. "What good luck druv you this way tonight, Dau agra?" asked the mother of Noreen. "An did you catch e'er a glimpse o' me little girl as you come up the hill?" "'Tis tookin for Noreen I come here, ma'am," said Dan, and he fixed his eyes upon the mother in such a manner that she partly guessed what he was after. As for the young widow, she grew as red in the face as a poppy. With his five sleek cows to graze her two little fields; Dan Heffernan had been a husband to Mollie's fancy. "It's unlucky to take a wife in the month o' May," she said viciously. "I'll wait till May's over," answered Dan Heffernan. "An mebbe you will put in an appearance at our weddin, Mollie." "Who's talkin of a weddin?" cried a voice from the door, and in walked lit- tle Noreen herself, her,eyes like violets all shining with the evening dew. "'Tis meself is telkin of it, ,NoTegi ,", said young Dan Heffernan, arid,: stand• ing up, he put his two hands on her shoulders and looked down into her face; "an it's you tliai has the sayin yea or nay to me in the matther." "You've a rag on every bush, D Heffernan!" cried the widow, rising a flouncing out of the place. But uo one was paying any attent to her, for Noreen b^d run away hide her face on her mother's boso and the young man was trying to co her out of her shyness that would let her say yea, though she was v fain to speak the word. It fell out that as Mollie Doheny w on the road home she met with wise woman from Drumderg. The w woman was stooped and withered. H face had a thousand wrinkles on like the akin of an old brown app and her eyes were nearay shut up In 1 head. She muttered with herself she walked and said "S-sh, s-sh," to t right side and the left, as if she w bidding ghostly unseen things to lea her way. With one hand she lean upon a stick, and with the other s held an apronful of fresh gather herbs that exhaled dim and moist od from their crushed and broken stems "It's late you're wandherin, ma'am said Mollie, standing somewhat as to let the crone pass. The young w ow was halt afraid, for the hour w solemn with falling darkness and t first stars. "'Tis the night for wandherin, acus la," muttered the old woman, letti her face fall lower toward the groun "an not lonesome are me wandherin' "God between us an all harm!" sa the widow, shivering. The wise woman lifted her eyebro and peered out at Mollie Dobeny a began to smile darkly. "What harm is in it to talk with t shee, the fine an fair mannered peop o' the raths?" she said, mumblin "They're good friends to them th comes to them. Oh, a very gentle nig is this, Mollie, agra! Many a sthran thing is done between the dark an t dawn. Many a flower an herb pull in this dew has powers in It to ma you thremble.

"Wait a minute, ma'am; just a mi ute!" cried Mollie of a sudden. Sh had forgotten her fright and remem bered the insult put upon her by th young Dan Heffernan. "I've a grndg agen a neighbor that did me a bad to Tell us one little charm that 'id mak him repent of it, granny asthore." The old woman turned herself 'bac A kind of dusky fire was burning t her eyes. She looked around her — t bush and brake and rugged bowlder o tone—as if she were reading the faces t them that spoke by her mouth. "Would you fancy a strip o' skin peel- ed without break from head to toot o' corpse to put Into their bosom an make them love you to distraction while Qu'd make them into a byword wid the eighbors be your scorn?" she croaked, er restless gaze never ceasing to moan- er, that dusky fire always wavering n her eyes. "Or would you have a este o' the rope that banged a sui- ide"— "No, no!" shivered Mollie, beginning o be afraid again, yet loath to leave an Heffernan to go on his way un- olested. "Tell us somethin middlin flood an widout any divilment in it. I ouldn't mind lavin him a bit tight o' oney or the like." The crone smiled in her own strange anner and stood awhile as if she were stening. "You're crathu !" Abe said hen. "But, since ed me, you'il t the charm. Go up to the neighbor's elds in the mornin—before the sun has ore nor time to strike upon the dew— sweep that same dew into your apron wid your hand, sayin, 'All's lne; all's mine!' That neighbor may o look for butther on their cburnin's, agh!" "Musha, God bless you!" cried Mollie heny. But the old hag shrugged herself and ent away into the dark of the en - anted night. Early the next morning came Noreen 'Driscoll to milk her little cow under e hedge of thorn outside Heffernan's endow, that being the little cow's fa- orite place of pasture. The sun was sing over Drumderg, and on southern anks the daisies opened their golden es. In the hollows and stretches of hade the dew lay like the breath of the ay morning made visible. "What under heaven brings Mollie Doheny up here at this hour?' wonder - Noreen to herself, seeing the widow oman walking through the wet mead - w. Mollie never imagined that there as anybody up but herself, nor ever w a sight of Noreen O'Driscoll, for e hedge of thorns was thick, and it as through a wee break in the boughs at the widow woman's rival had ught a glimpse of her shawl and her hate apron. The widow went over the daisies here the dew was melting test and me upon the silvered hollows. She tooped and swept the dews into her ron. 'All's mine. all's mine," she said as e did this. 'Bedad, it's not," whispered Noreen at for fun and with no meaning in hat she said. "Half it's mine." The tle cow munched the grass, waiting be milked, and the rising sun grew eller as he went up the sky. The widow woman went on the nett etcti of shadow and swept the dew o her apron. 'All's mine, all's mine," said she in. This time she was very close to reen O'Driscoll. Bedad, it's not," said Noreen, out d. "Half it's mine." Saints an angels!" cried the widow man, overhearing. "It's the fairies either me!" And she took to run- g and never stopped until she was of the meadow on the far side. oreen O'Driscoll thought that Mollie d lost her five wits to get on with h work.

Mebbe the crathure was maneu- verin for another husband." And so the matter passed, and no more was. said about it. From May day out the yield of the little sickly cow was surprising, and very soon Noreen began to take the butter around to the farmers' houses to sell. By the end of the month she had npaythe rice of a sold sufficient to o au t p strong calf. "They're gettin along," said the fa- ther of I)an Heffernan. He was up the fields one day looking for some sign of his crop of wheat, and he put an in- quisitive eye upon the lone cabin in the cleft of the hill. "Mebbe I might as well withdraw me objections." When he went down to the house, he told his son that he had his consent to marry with Noreen O'Driscoll. "It's a new calf,readyreared,that I t see above wid them," he said. "Good an industhrtous people they must be to have that same. Likely the colleen'11 look to your cows better nor they're looked to now." "She'd want to," said young Dan, "for 'tie scarcely a tent of milk they're giving this while back." And small blame it was to the beasts, seeing that their milk had been stolen by the fairies and divided between Mol- lie Doheny and Noreen A'DrIscoll. After a bit Dan Heffernan and No- reen were married, and no sooner was the brido brought home but Dan's cows began to improve, while the little one Noreen had for her portion went back In her milk. But between them all there was full and plenty for the young people, and they were as happy as the day is long. Meantime the widow woman repent- ed herself of her witchcraft. "Musha, what at all at all will I do?" she said in her own mind. "If I tell Father John, he'll send rue to the bish- op for meddlin wid the like. Faith, 1'11 g'up to the wise woman an get her to life the charm. Dishonest butther has a tang in the mouth." But the wise woman only said, "It's alsy to light a fire, but not so to put it put." And she scowled on Mollie Do- heny with such an evil eye tbat the poor creature was fain to run away its quick as her feet would carry her from the cabin of the wise woman}. So all that vas left for her to do was this: Atter every churning she sent over a big roll of butter to the Ilieffer- nans as a present, moryab, until the whole countryside was laughing at her for being a bit soft in the head. And that wee all the good came to Mollie Dohep, for meddling with maglc.— Aialply About people, Odd Funeral Customs, A Chinese funeral never proceeds straight from the house of mourning to the graveyard, says the Indianapolis Sun. The devil Is always on the look- out for funerals and follows them to seize the soul of the dead man. so in order to outwit the evil one the bearers take up the body and start with It on a brisk trot, while the packs of firecrack- ers and pyrotechnics, emitting a dense smoke and vile smell, are set off just as the procession starts. Having thus deceived the evil one as to the direction taken by the bearers, they run as fast as they can with the body, then suddenly turn a corner and stop while more fireworks are burned. The devil cannot turn a corner easily, and so, If really In pursuit. he shoots on by, and by means of a good deal ot sad• den turning and stopping and a lavish expenditure of fireworks the funeral procession generally gets to the grave in safety, while the evil one, confused by their movements and balt suffocat- ed by the fireworks, Is still wandering about the city. The Chinamen who dies in the country is not In such good lack, for there Is leas chance to outwit the enemy, but by nteny detours it eat) very often be done. Slippery Customers. Fish are exceedingly difficult to hold when first taken from the water. This slipperiness is caused by a mucus that is exuded from the scales, and it is rnrlous to note the uses of this slime. One of its uses is to protect the fish from Its enemies. Being difficult to grasp, it slips away and gets free, Animal foes are not its only enemies. In every kind of water, salt or fresh, pure or foul, there are plant fungi that will fasten themselves to fishes if there is any opportunity. If some portion of the fish's body is injured so that the slime does not cover it, the vegetable fungus clings to that part, then spreads over the body, with the result that the gills are covered and the poor fish is done for. The mucus also lessens the friction, thus facilitating progress through the ti a ter. It also serves as a buffer for he scales, preventing injury to a great extent. Fashion Echoes. Linen and batiste were never more popular in summer dress. The smart pocket handkerchief bas a touch of color In one corner. The raglan made of thinnest alpaca or cheviot is a useful addition to the summer wardrobe. Hats showing wide brims are unusu- ally popular for summer wear. This style of hat is trimmed very low save at the left side. The new hat known as the "shirt waist bat" is merely a low crowned sailor of either rough or smooth straw trimmed with a handkerchief drapery of Persian silk or satin. Soft silks in pale colors make some of the most attractive gowns for sum- mer afternoon wear. A pretty model In pale green shows wide bands of white lace insertion striping the skirt In ver- tical lines. Mitts gain little favor usually in spite of the fact that they are part of the elbow sleeve fashion so modish just DOW.

A very noticeabletfeature of summer dress 1s the simplicity of color, or, rath- er, the predominating use of neutrcl colors in delicate shades of gray and beige, besides every possible tint of white. Even the foulards are delicate in coloring and are toned down still more by the use of stitched bands of cloth or taffeta in the predominating color of the silk. In all the summer gowns, whether they are of silk, muslin or linen, the collar bands and the chemisettes are as transparent as it is possible to make them and have them keep In place at all. Stiff neck fixings of any sort are entirely out of it this season, and many have Ave no choker o r collar at all, b e ing cut out just below the collar line In a round neck, a mode so becoming to the exceptional style of beauty and so unbecoming to the average woman. However, this is an Inevitable mode with the latest style of hairdressing, the low coil In the nape of the neck, one being a pretty aceompauttnent for the other. This low neck and elbow sleeves are shown in the illustration from the New York Sun, which is authority also for these items of fashion. The gown is a white organdie with a latticework de- sign in black lace Insertion. A flower design in applique lace is added In the front of the skirt and bodice. Another feature which is a natural outcome of the low dressed hair is the THE SMART Wb1NAN.- Hes Secret Lies Not In Clothes, but Ia Carriage, Good carriage is essential to style. No matter what a woman wears, lf'she does not carry herself alertly a and gracefully her appearance is ell but let her learn to stand, walk and breathe properly, and the simplestecos- tume has an air of richness and mess. There is no skirt made tha 1 appear stylish on the woman who stands with the abdomen protrnntng, and the smartest shirt waists become a mockery over the hollow chest, These, then, are two of the most common faults in the eairlage of the average woman, both the result of ignorance or carelessness, which can only be over- come by regular systematic exercise. To learn to walk and to stand correctly are duties every woman owes to her- self, and they should form a part ev- ery girl's early training, for a careless habit once formed is hard to break. Stand well and walk well, and the rest will follow, says The New Idea Wom- an's Magazine, which discourses of the "smart" girl as follows: The "smart" girl takes herself seri- ously, as though she were a poet, and starts out with the determination to perfect herself, body and clothes. Here, then, is her secret. She knows how to stand correctly, and she bas found out that no woman who poises her body properly at the waist line can ever appear commonplace, no matter how simple her attire. The minute a woman stands lightly on her Leet, with knees straight, chest well out, stomach flat, shoulders drawn down and the body, from waist up, tilting ever so lightly for- ward, she has acquired at once a certain smart- ness of effect that no amount of beauty or fine clothes could give. 4 woman atmply Ccn't stand correctly end look slovenly. The "stuart"girl lspeverround shouldered or hollow chested, and. by standing properly, she breathes proper- ly. Every full, deep breath -she draws strengthens the muscles of her sides and abdomen. She is bound not to grow into a fat, ungainly woman, who can never catch her breath or a train, for a proper poise of the body means good digeatton and good health. It is probably going too far to say that a girl sets about being "smart" In order to be healthy, but 1t is absolutely true that she is quite likely to grow atm nger because of her correct way of carrying her body. How many women sink Into a little heap the minute they sit down—sheul- ders drooping, chest sunken, the whole weight of the body thrown on the end of the spine, The "smart" girl sits In the same erect, alert way that she stands, and if she wishes to rest she leans back against her shoulders and not the middle of her back. In bend- ing, whether at a desk or over a dish- pan or at a dinner table, she bends from her waist, not from her shoul- ders, and she not.. only looks well, but avoids fatigue and the actual Injuries that come (rent any strain or misplac- ed muscles.

The brims droop somewhat, of course, but the bow is necessary to soften the effect. The' Louis XV period In dress is more and more in evidence all the time.

The one Idea la the finish at the hem is to give as much of the di- aphanous effect as possible, and we see a series of chiffon ruffles around the hem of a foulard gown. A new auej very smart idea in trim- ming is the use of taffeta bands on white batiste- They may be straight or waved on the edges and dotted over With French dots of embroidered polka (sots.

Three rows of tills, with spaces between, are sewed around the skirt, and the yoke is of alternate bands of ribbon and lace insertion, with tiny bows at the end of each band. Men's Styles. Light homespun suits are good look - Ing, besides being cool and comfortable for summer, but there is one objection to the material; it is liable to get out of shape unless very carefully worn and looked after. Dark blue serge is a light and cool material for summer wear, and It seems to be again coming into vogue among the larger number of well dress- ed men. Though made both single and double breasted, the latter cut goes era- tremely well with white or light flan- nel trousers and carries with it a sug- gestion of the sea, blue serge and white flannel being pre-eminently yachting materials. It one does not care for the double breasted or ordinary type of single breasted coat, that cut with only one row of buttons, but straight and square In front, 1s a good style for blue serge.

The top- most point of the highest of these may be ten miles above the earth. They are called etrrhus clouds. Altogether there are ten principal types of clouds. The lowest, known as the stratus, are really horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on damp days or 1n very damp localities. These clouds are only a few hundred feet above the earth. Some of the vast bodies of vapor are higher than the tallest of the Alps. They are undoubtedly snow capped— veritable mountains of ice and snow. It has been discovered that the tem- perature on one ucb summit was 75 degrees below zero. Were it possible for us to ascend in a balloon and penetrate one of these snow capped peaks fror' base to sum- mit we should travel .1W4 through a layer ot dry air, vapor and water, a third of freezing vapor, water and ice, and finally through the summit, com- posed of dry air, vapor and ice, but no water. Getting Away From Land, The question has been asked, Is It possible to sail 1,000 miles from land? This can be done at several points. By leaving San Francisco and sailing northwestward into the north Pacific a spot is reached where there is no land, not even an Islet, for 1,000 miles in any direction. So, too, sailing from the southern point of Kamchatka south- eastward ships reach a point equally distant from land of any kind, the nearest' to the north being the Aleu- tian islands and to the south the outlying members of the Sandwich group. In the southern Indian ocean It is possible to sail 1,000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand and still be as tar from any other land, and the same may be done in a westerly direction from Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reach- ed, for the southern Pacific between the Horn and New Zealand covers a space of 80 degrees of longitude and 40 of latitude of absolutely unbroken sea, making its central point over 1,200 Dulles from anywhere.

HOW THE GREEN HIDE IS PREPARED FOR THE MARKET. The Operation is a Strange One From Beginning to End and Com - prebends a Number of Different Manipulations by Expert Workers. The making of leather is an art which most people understand little. can safely be said that this trade is of the greatest and yet most obscure all our industries. During the past f years it has assumed immense prop tions. The preliminary steps in tanning by no means what you would call of ttsthetic nature. The hide as recely in the rough state is covered with h and bristles, which must be first moved. In order to do this properly t hide is thrown into a vat of wa soap water and left there for at le three days. At the end of that peri if found to he in a suitable condition, is drawn out and run through a qu looking machine. This apparatus c sists principally of three rollers. T largest one, a massive affair, revo] rapidly from right to left. The next o iu size moves In the opposite directi from left to right and, unlike the fir is covered with small knives. The knives are not visible owing to t great velocity of the roller, it maki over 1,800 revolutions a minute. It takes but a second to run a hi through this press. The operator, strong. determined looking individu seizes the skin firmly with both band swings it around once or twice an then slips It dexterously between II great rollers. There is a muffled soun and. presto, the skin falls out devoid all flesh: The hide is then placed In vat of liwewater, where, under the a tion of the lime, the hair becomes so and loose. In a da • or so it is aga taken out and sent to the press. Th time the third and last rolled, which covered with small round stones, used. These stones remove the hair 1 the same way as the knives did tl flesh. The hide is then given a thoroug washing or sopping out. For this pu pose a huge wooden, barrel shaped al paratus called a "hater" k used. Witt in this bater are long projections mad of hard wood. The skin rests upo these while the wheel revolves. A soon as a proper angle is reached th hide slides off and falls with grea force to the bottom. Here it is one moth picked up, carried to the top an dr ped again. Thus the operation i eon ued until the hide becomes per fcctly cleap and spotless. It is the ready to be tanned. Great vats of dull deep colored liquid are nov- utilized. The making of this liquid Is a proces .�y itself. The bark, either oak or hem lock, Is first broken up and ground int fine bits and then conveyed into hug tanks called "leeches." These tank contain about three-fourths bark and one-fourth old liquid, or, in other words, liquid which has become weak owing to loug usage. The mixture steep* fur a number of days, long enough at any rate for the liquid to re- gain its strength. It is then strained and all; -o run into different vats. The old . in turn flows back to the leeches. l.; this manner the old Is made new and the new old. The next step is called "shaving." This consists in tearing off the edges of the hide and making the surface smooth. A small, knife covered wheel having a great velocity does the work quickly. hut not satisfactorily. Each hide must be gone over again by hand. This is called "currying" and is one of the most difficult operations in the act of tanning. The "currier," in fact. must have been raised in the business. A long, fierce looking knife is used. Tak- ing this in both hands, he bends -over the skin, which lies before him on a thick board, and with skillful strokes removes what the machine has left, be- sides giving the surface a most beauti- ful grain. To do this rapidly and still keep the razorlike edge on the blade re- quires years of practice. The hides are then washed, weighed, pressed and ready to be "stuffed" on the floor above. The "stuffing" wheel is a mammoth wooden tank about 10 feet by 20 feet. with a capacity of from 200 to 300 pounds. It is here where the grease and fatty substances which have been removed from the hide in the various processes are restored. As the tanner says, "Life is given in." Were it not for this grease the hide would be dry, hard and easily torn. It is here also where profit and loss figure the most. The tanner depends entirely upon bis judgment as to the amount of fat to be added; too much or too little. and untold damage would result. The skin now passes through the final stage. It is "stretched" and sent to the "finishing" room, where it is made ready for the market. This last step consists In blacking and glossing one side and imparting a fine grain to the other. The process is then complet- ed. Thus a fleshy, hair covered bide is made into a beautiful piece of leather. The operation is a strange one from beginning to end. If you ever have the time, visit a tannery and see for your- self.—Kansas City Times. of It one of ew or - are an ed air re - he rm ast od, it eer on - he yes ne on st, se he ng de a al, ' d re d, of a e- ft In is is is n rC h r- 1 - Fruit Acids Fatal to Germs. It may not be generally known that fruit acids are germicidal, but the in- formation Is of special value. The juice of limes and lemons is as deadly to cholera germs as corrosive subli- mate or sulphur fumes or formalde- hyde or any other disinfectant. It is so powerful a germicide that If the juice of one lime or lemon be squeezed into a glass of water that is then left standing 10 or 15 minutes the water will be disinfected. Maseppa. SAGE ADVICE OFA FATHER. Historically, Mazeppa was hetman of the Cossacks. He was born of a no- ble Polish family in Podolia and be- came a page in the court of Jan Cas- mir, king of Poland. While In this ca- pacity he intrigued with Therisia, the young wife of a Podonian count, who discovered the amour and had the young page lashed to a wild horse and turned adrift. The horse rushed in mad fury and dropped down dead in the l'kraine, where Mazeppa was re- leased by a Cossack family, who nurs- ed him carefully in their own hut. In time he became secretary to the het - man and at the death of the prince was appointed his successor. Peter I much admired his energy of character and created him prince of tin Ukraine, but in the wars with Sweden Mazeppa deserted to Charles XII and fought against Russia at the battle of Poltava. After the loss of this battle Mazeppa fled to Valentia and then to Bender. Some say he died a natural death and others that he was put to death for treason by the czar. Lord Byron makes Mazeppa tell his tale to Charles after the battle of Poltava. How Colorado Desert Was Formed. Everybody knows, without looking at the map, how Lower California runs south from the Pacific coast like a sort of tail, separated from the United States—for it is a part of Mexico, as some people are not aware—by a long arm of the sea called the gulf of Cali- fornia. Once upon a time the gulf ex- tended in a northward direction 300 miles beyond its present inland limit. Into this northerly extension the great Colorado river emptied millions of tons of detritus annually until the deposit accumulated in qul`tity sufficient to shut off the upper part of the gulf, which was thus transformed into a lake. To begin with, of course It was a salt lake, but it gradually became fresh through the influx of water from the Colorado. Thereupon fresh water fishes, mollusks and other creatures not of the brine were developed in it, and in this way it happens that the dry bottom today is covered with their fos- sil remains. When Lives Were Cheap. In the prison of Luxembourg one of Fougaier Tinville's agents could only make up 17 convicts out of the list of 18 which had been given him. "I want one more," he said. He asked the first inspect who passed by his name and on hearing it said, "Yes, it is you." He had him carried off, and the next day he was guillotined. On another occasion a warder called out the name of au aged prisoner. A lad who was playing ball in the gallery mistook the name for his own and ask- ed if he was wanted. "Yes," was the answer, "come along," and the next day the boy was guillotined instead of the man. At Bordeaux a boy of 16 named Mel - let was guillotined instead of an old man of 80 named Bellay. On object- ing, he was told that he was 80 years old in wickedness. Why She Was Mad. One morning iu kindergarten a wee mite of womanhood had been trying to attract the teacher by every resource of which she was capable without di- rectly saying she had something to tell. Finally the young girl went over and sat beside her, whereupon little Rachel flounced her skirts, puckered up her forehead and, clinching her hand, ex- claimed, "Oh, dear, but I'm mad!" The teacher was surprised. for Ra- chel had seemed to be laboring under a delightful secret. "And why is little Miss Sunshine angry?" asked the In- structor. "Well, everybody was mad at our house this morning. Mamma scolded Sister Jane, and auntie scolded mam- ma, and papa said, 'Oh, darn:' and left the table, so I guess I can be cross too!" —Motherhood. Out of It. A large number of colliers in Lanca- shire are accustomed to spending a.por- tion of each week in the public house, instead of following their work regu- larly, and thus not having more than two or three days a week to draw for at pay day. The mother of one of these men, on being told of 5 per cent advance in wages, asked her neighbor the mean- ing of 5 per cent. Her friend replied: "Why, Mrs. Hodson. dost not know? It means as every toime they gettln a peaund they'll get 21 shillings for it." "Oh, dear me," Mrs. Hodson return- ed, "it'll mak' no difference to our Jerry; he never gets a peaund!"—Spare Moments. Remarkable Streets. Washington has a street 17% miles in length; it is the longest in the world. The shortest street is the Rue Ble, Paris, which 1s barely 20 feet long. The widest street is Market street, Philadelphia; the narrowest, the Via Sol, Havana, which is only 3% feet wide. The highest street is Main street, Denver, Colo.; the Lowest street, which is below the level of the sea, Main street, Georgetown, British Guiana. The cleanest street is Regent street, London; the dirtiest, Tcbang- Tse street, Nankin.—London Tit -Bits. A Nine Days' Wonder. To say that a thing is a "nine days' wonder" means that we regard it as a wonder for nine days, and then our eyes are opened to the fact that it is no wonder at all. This saying is based on the fact that kittens and puppies ere born blind, and their eyes open at the end of nine days, and implies that teopie are blind with astonishment for nine days, and then their eyes open Ind they are undeceived. Counsel That All Young Men Enter. ing Rashness Should Heed. "My son," said the fond but wise parent, "you are leaving me to go uut into the world. i have nothing to give you but advice. Never tell a lie. If you wish to put one in circulation, get it published. A lie cannot live, but it takes one a blamed long time to fade out of print. "Always read your contract. A man might consider he was getting a sine- cure if he were offered a position pick- ing blossoms off a century plant; but, you see, he wouldn't have a remunera- tive occupation If he were paid on piecework. "Be not overcritical. Even the most ordinary sort of a genius can tell when the other fellow is making a fool of himself. "Remember that the young loan. like the angler's worm, is rather better for being visibly alive. "Be careful in the choice of your sur- roundings. Environment will do a great deal for a man. For example, flour and water in a china jug is cream sauce; in a pall on the sidewalk it Is billsticker's paste. "Don't forget that there's a time for everything and that everything should be done In its proper time. Never hunt for bargains In umbrellas on a rainy day. "You may make enemies. If you know who they are, don't mention them. Silence is golden. It saves the money that might otherwise be spent in defending a libel suit. If you don't know who they are—well, abuse lav- ished on a concealed enemy is like char- ity indiscriminately bestowed. It's a good thing wasted."—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. BEWILDERED SHOPPERS. Japanese Peasants Who Are Kept Track of by Labels. When the Japanese peasants get themselves up for a pilgrimage to a city for the purpose of laying in a stock of finery, they present the quaintest ap- pearance imaginable. The women gen- erally tuck up their petticoats well above their knees, either leaving the legs bare or else swathing them In white bandages which form a kind of leggings. Their hair Is done in the usu- al elaborate Japanese style, and gener- ally an artificial flower is stuck In at the top. It does look comic to see the wizened face of an old woman with a large red nose hobnobbing over it. And this floral decoration is uot-confined to the women. When you meet a party of pilgrims, you often see the old men also with a flower stuck coquettishly above the ear. At Nagano it appears that many of the poor old dears from the country get so bewildered by the magnificence of the places they go to and the distrac- tions of shopping that tbey quite lose their heads and consequently their way. So the ever thoughtful Japanese pollee have insisted that every party of pilgrims is to have a distinguishing badge. At Nagano it was the common- est thing possible to see some ancient dame rushing about wailing: "Where is my party? Where is the purple iris party?" or "Where Is the yellow towel round the neck party?" And then she would be told that "yellow towel round the neck party" was on its way to the station or that the "purple irises" were still saying their prayers in the temple. —Kansas City Star. Even Ruts Have Their Uses. Life's monotonies are a blessing, and not in disguise, for they contribute di- rectly to longevity, health and happi- ness. The long lived man is not the adventurer, the explorer, the plunger, the man who has worries, but be who takes the world as he finds It and slips along through life with as little friction as possible, forms easy going habits, sticks to them and cares not one straw for the opinions of wen who say that he is In a rut. He is healthy because he has peace of mind and regularity of life; be is happy because he Is healthy and in a good, smooth, comfortable rut, which be prefers to the macadam on the sides of the road. Goldsmith's pas- tor, who bad spiritual charge of the de- serted village, who ne'er had changed nor wished to change his place, is an excellent example of the man who makes the most possible out of the mo- notonies of life.—St. Louis Globe -Dem- ocrat. Peasant Costumes in Ireland. A certain number of peasants In the wilder and remoter districts of Ireland still wear something like a national costume. About Lough Mask plenty of the lasses are to be seen In picturesque red petticoats that artists loved to bring into their sketches of Irish life. A sprinkling of the old high hats may be seen. The older fishermen wear them, but the younger school shun such antiquated headgear. as the English peasant of today does the smock frock. -London Express.

Tho trunk being a very important item in the comfort of summer journey - Ings, some informatiou on the modern article Is subjoined from Vogue: To begin with a warning, do not waste your money on a cheap trunk. It is not even economical in the long run, and, besides. the purchaser has to put up with its inferior appearance and a lesser degree of comfort In its use. In the opinion of many, the very best trunk is the wardrobe trunk. The wardrobe trunk is constructed on the pendent principle, it being really a compact, portable clothes closet. stand- ing on end when in use and therefore taking up the least possible space. All lifting of trays and stooping over are done away with, and twice the usual amount of clothing can be carried with- out any crumpling worth mentioning. Trunks for men carry at least a doz- en suits of clothes, besides hats, tot - /et articles, shirts, underclothing and shoes, each separately to be reached without disturbing any other article of apparel. Less costly. but highly to be com- mended, although naturally not so su- perlatively convenient, is a French dress trunk constructed on tbe rather novel plan of replacing the deep bot- tom receptacle with four dress trays, resting one on the other. These are augmented with an upper tray divided into four small compartments for veils, handkerchiefs, neckbands and small articles, a large and deep compartment for bats and a square, double partition for underwear or what you will. The dress trays have an advantage over the old fashioned method, as they can be packed separately and dropped into the trunk without the necessity of tire- some stooping. They are fitted with layers of webbing on either end, to which the bands and bottoms of the skirts are to be pinned, and there are three sets of tapes tying over the top to secure them in place and prevent the costumes jolting or jarring. The length is 40 inches and the height 20 inches. This model can be had for from $25 upward. Another popular article is the bureau trunk, which opens from the front and is the counterpart of its namesake. There are natural bronze handles. four skirt drawers and two for bodices and undergarments, besides an unusually deep bat department, under which is a secret drawer where valuable papers, money or jewels can be kept with safe- ty. The price is from $20 upward for a 40 inch length. Hat boxes—or trunks, as you prefer to designate them—one of the comforts of the times, may be bought at from $6 up, they being so planned as to carry the daintiest creations of millinery to their destination without crumpling. A MODERN CONVENIENCE. Connecting the Upper Floors of the House With the Laundry. A very excellent modern convenience is the shaft leading from the second story of the house, where the sleeping SOT TOM Of SHAFT. 111; t ; ;1.1:1 THE LAUNDRY SHAFT. rooms are located, to the laundry on the first floor or in the basement. Down through this shoot can be sent the soil- ed bedding, the soiled towels and clothing, without the necessity of a trip down stairs. The top of this shaft can be located in the back, upper hall or wherever in the rear of the house the location of the laundry below may make it necessary. The illustrations sufficiently explain themselves. Where the laundry is in the basement such a shaft becomes almost an absolute ne- ces3ity in order to save running up and down stairs. In this case an opening into the shoot should be provided on the first floor also that soiled table lin- en, etc., may be thus sent down to the laundry from this floor. Such a de- vice can he put Into a house already built very easily, as only the cutting of one or two floors is required, says Webb Donnell, who describes it In The Ladies' World.

MINERAL WAX MINES. Where Miners Are Sometimes En. tornbed and Sealed Up Alive. As flies are preserved in amber, so men who mine for ozocerite or mineral wax sometimes are overwhelmed in the soft inass forced out by the enor- mous pressure of the confined gases and are imbedded and sealed up alive in the sticky stuff, to be uncovered, perhaps, only in the lapse of ages, as new and interesting fossils, unless their comrades, with infinite labor, res- cue their bodies. Ozocerite is found in Canada and Mexico, as well as in Austria-Hungary, Russia, Roumania, Egypt and Algeria, usually in connection with rock salt and coal, but so far it has not been dis- covered anywhere in sufficient quanti- ties to pay for the mining except in the district of Boryslaw, in the Austrian .province of Galicia, and to a limited extent at Tehelekan, an island on the west coast of the Caspian sea. America imports an inconsiderable quantity of crude ozocerite, only aboOt 11 tons of the 6,000 exported yearly from Austria, but when refined and made into ceresin the product enters this country In the form of telegraphic cable wax, shoe polish and wax candles. In the latter manufacture it is mixed with beeswax, which not only in creases the fusibility of the beeswax, but also makes the candles much whit- er. Ceresin also is employed In the manufacture o' phonographic cylin- ders, In modeling, in galvano-plastic painting, in making shoemakers' wax and paraffin and In many other ways. Mineral wax never is found pure. and such of the crude material as is intend- ed for export is freed from earth, small stones, etc., near the wines. It is put Into tanks, which are heated either by a direct fire or by steam. In the former case the furnace Is so arranged that the flames strike the sides as well as the bottom of the tank, for otherwise the wax overheats, causing partial dis- tillation. At all tbe larger works In Boryslaw steam is used now for this process. In the beginning the steam must have the degree of heat necessary to melt the wax. Subsequently only sufficient heat need be maintained to keep the mass in a liquid state. This is continued un- til all earthy and other foreign matter has settled to the bottom. The wax is decanted into iron congealing vessels having the form of a truncated cone. These vessels are whitewashed on the inside to prevent the adhesion of the congealed blocks of wax. The blocks obtained are from 15 to 25 inches high, have a diameter of from 30 to 36 inches and weigh from 650 to 850 pounds. By far the larger portion of the raw ozocerite used in Austria is manufac- tured into ceserin, there being in that country about 20 refineries. It is doubt- ful if the processes employed by any twoof them are identical. In most of the refining works the wax is mixed with from 6 to 10 per cent of sulphuric acid, heated and filtered through bone, char- coal or spodium. This colors It light yellow. It is treated again with the sulphuric acid and finally with caustic soda until every particle of the acid is eliminated. Fairly successful experi- ments have also been made to avoid the use of sulphuric acid and to substi- tute benzole, in which case the dissoly- ent is eliminated by distillation. In the filtering process coal of the size of small grain is placed between two sieves, which are inserted in each filter. Several filters are placed to- gether in a frame and sufficiently heat- ed by direct steam to keep the wax In a liquid state. Whenever the coal has lost its efficacy as a blanching agent it can, by proper treatment, be rendered tit again for use. After the mass has been blanched sufficiently it is decanted into funnels provided with paper filters and having also a contrivance for being heated during the filtering process. Norwegian Cheese. There Is a terrible kind of Norwegian cheese called "mysost," which Is made of goat's milk. It is brown in color and served in the shape of bricks, done up in silver paper. The initiated shave this into thin films and make it into a sandwich with black bread and butter. This cheese is really made from the whey after proper cheese has been manufactured. All the water is then boiled out, and the remainder is com- pressed into these brown bricks, which taste sweet and gritty. Love of this cheese would take some time to acquire. The opportunity is not lacking, for it appears at every meal, from breakfast onward. There are several native cheeses. Another terrible one, "pultost," is made with caraway seeds and always smells as if it had gone bad. Mysost has no smell, fortunately, only a terrible as- pect and taste. Dr. Julius Nicholyson sent a few Nor- wegian delicacies to a friend in Ger- many, and, among others, he put in a piece of the native mysost. His friend wrote and thanked him for the salmon, etc., and then continued, "The soap is very nice, but we find great difficulty in making the lather." This was the cheese! Unknown to the Lawyers. Judge —, one of the great lawyers of the last generation, charged a- client a retainer of $1,000 in an important case, but the parties got together next morning and settled the suit before the judge had opened a book or written a line concerning it. His client called to see if he would not refund part of the money. The lawyer seemed surprised at the suggestion. "Refund!" be ex- claimed. "Refund. did you say? My friend, that is a kind of fund unknown to the legal professions"—New York Press - A slaglag literttiwatrtn. We Have heard of a good many'crea- tures which sing, including Mr. Bus- kin's singing serpents in the valley of Diamonds, yet Mr. Annandale bas as- sured us that there exists in the Malay peninsula a being which the Malays de- scribed under the above heading. It lives in a burrow in the ground and cheerfully sings, or at least chirps. But the Malays call everything that creeps a worm, and the beast which they really mean is a large kind of cricket with a voice. In the very same part of the world, however, is a real earthworm, a huge monster three or four feet in length, which was discovered not long ago and which really has a voice, or at least can produce a sound. The Latin name of musieus has been given to it on that account. When It is foraging about near the surface of the ground, the numerous sharp little bristles implanted in its skin, which enable it to bold on to tate earth, strike against stones and give out a musical sound. This is rather more like twanging a "Jew's harp" than singing. But any sort of sound from these silent, gliding creatures is singing.—London Express. Jackson and the Tailor's Rill. A gentleman in Pennsylvania has a queer document which came into his family's possession many years ago and shows an interesting phase of An- drew Jackson's character as well as a glimpse of the simple times of his pres- idential term. It appears that a clerk in the state department contracted a tallor's bill for $64.50, and the tailor. finding himself unable to collect the amount, laid the matter before the president in an ap- pealing letter. Jackson promptly decided that this was a matter to which be must attend personally, so he transmitted the tai- lor's letter to the secretary of state. with this strong recommendation: Referred to the secretary of state. If on inquiry the fact stated be true, unless the clerk pays up his debt let him be forthwith discharged. The government would become a party to such swindling provided it permitted its officers to be- come indebted for necessaries and not we that they paid their debts out of their salaries. Honest men sill pay their debts. Dishonest men must not be employed by the government. A. J. This case is referred to Amen Kendall, Esq., and on 110 per month being secured to C. E.

Sweetbreads left for an hour before cooking in a bath of rather strong dilution of lemon juice are made white and firm. A few drops of lemon juice are declared to add a delicious flavor to scrambled eggs. But a quite new use is in the preparation of rolled beef. This requires a rib roast, with the bones cut out. The juice of a lem- on is squeezed over the meat, and the skin of it rolled up in It. The result is a tender, juicy, aromatic meat, very grateful to the palate. The Brazilian beef is highly esteemed for its flavor, and this is because the cattle pasture where lemons are plentiful and eat the fallen fruit, which favors their flesh.—What to Eat. Wet Wedding Days Preferred. The adage "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on" is one that is un- known in many lauds. A Breton bride takes it unhappily when the day of her wedding dawns bright and sunny. Rain on her marriage morn is held to sig- nify that all her tears are shed and that she will therefore have a happy mar- ried life. It is said that the Erza of Simbrisk call the day before the wedding the weeping day, and the bride and her gir friends weep as much as possible wit the idea of getting the mourning of lif over, so that only what is joyful may remain. In some countries this result is attained by sousing the bride with wa- ter. The Greeks think that a thorough drenching of the bride will bring her lasting good fortune. Crumbed the Diamond. Among historic diamonds one, the "Piggott," has gone out of existence. The story of its destruction is a trag- ical one. it was said to be wortb 2200,- 000. The diamond came into the pos- session of Ali Pasha, who always wore ft in a green silk purse attached to his girdle. He was wearing it when he was wounded by Reshid Pasha. Knowing that bis wound was mortal, be Imme- diately retired to his divan, gave orders that his favorite wife should be poison- ed and then delivered the diamoud to Captain D'Anglas with the order that it should be crushed to powder in his presence. His command was obeyed, and the beautiful gem was utterly de- stroyed. When Turtles Were Ills. Of the turtles it may be said that they represent the most ancient type of all vertebrates, resembling closely as they do the reptiles of their kind which existed so far back as the mesozolc era. There were sea tortoises during that epoch which measured 20 feet in spread of flippers, while some tertiary tor- toises were not less big in body, meas- uring 12 feet from bead to tall. A famous ink long used in Germany was made o f a combination of chro- mate of potash with a solution of log - wood in the proportions of one part of the former to 1,000 parts of the latter. The Trouble. "What's the matter with you lately? Has she thrown you over?" "No; that's just what she refuses to do."—Town and Country. llamas steel Halls. The nil mill•presents many pietl:rc 1 that appeal strongly to lovers cf t' picturesque. Under ordinary drew. - - stances the great strands of iron, each half as long us a city block, slide back and forth smoothly enough between tke rolls that are stretching them and pressing them into the required shape, but a tiny obstacle may at any moment turn one of these cables of tire off the beaten track and twist it iuto a hope- less tangle or wind it like a squirming snake around some unfortunate work- man. When the rolling process has been completed, the piece of iron slides along to the great buzzsaws, which cut it up into the 30 foot rails known to the rail- way traveler. Every time the whirring circular saw clips off one of these lengths, sparks radiate in every direc- tion, as though the biggest pyrotech- nical pinwheel ever devised had been suddenly set in motion. When the rail has been cooled and holes have been drilled In it, it is ready to start for any part of the world. The evolution of bars or beams or sheets from the big steel slabs is gain- ed by the same general method of pro- cedure. It is the size and shape of the grooves in the tolls which determine the form to be ultimately assumed by the steel in their clutches.—Century Magazine. Absolute Zero. By "absolute zero" is meant the low- est temperature compatible with heat— that point of temperature, in fact, at which a body would be wholly depriv- ed of heat and at which the particles whose motion constitutes beat would be at rest. This temperature is sup- posed to be about 274 degrees C. or 461 degrees F. The term "heat" is here used in its scientific sense, for as men use the word in everyday language its signifi- cance depends on the temperature of the human body. Men call "warm" everything with a temperature higher than their own and "cold" all those objects which have less heat than they. In reality, however, the coldest body known to man is far from being utter- ly without heat. Ice, for example, bas beat, only in a degree so much below man's temperature that one can scarce- ly imagine it to be anything but "cold," a term which actually implies a com- paratively low degree of heat. Accordingly the zero of thermometers is only a conventional point marking a certain degree of heat. There seems to be a point, however, where heat ceases absolutely, and this point it is which is known in chemistry as the "absolute zero." Modern Man's Great Appetite. Custom seethe to have decreed that three "square" meals a day should be the allowance for the citizen of the United States and Canada, and it was looked upon as being as fixed as the laws of the Medea and Persians, but an up town restaurant man states that a great number of New Yorkers are no longer satisfied with the regulation three meals a day. Four meals are now asked for, breakfast, lunch, din- ner and supper. The last Is no doubt superfluous for those who can and do make three hearty meals out of the others, but there must be many who will learn with pleasure that It is no longer incumbent upon them to go "supperless to their bed." The idea that indigestion may be caused by the introduction of the fourth meal Is ab- surd.—Scottish American. A Floral Inscription. At one time I was pastor of a village where there was a Germau undertaker who was always anxious to please. Be- cause of bis zeal In this direction and his habit of so often getting things backward he was the butt of a good many jokes and furnished others many a hearty laugh. One day a customer of bis asked him to telegraph the florist in a nearby city to send a floral design representing "Gates Ajar." He hurried to the phone and, calling up the florist, said he wished a floral design. The florist asked what kind. Ile was puz- zled, but not defeated, and after some delay said; "Ob, yes; now I got him! Heaven wide open; that's what they want!"—Homiletic Review. Make a Banana Peel Itself. A trick which works on a simple principle Is to make a banana peel it- self. To do this all that Is wanted Is a bottle, a ripe banana and a bit of paper wet with alcohol. Light the paper and drop it into this bottle. When the air in the bottle is well heated, set the ba- nana on end on top and let It do the rest itself. As the air on the inside cools off and contracts the outside pres- sure reysure pushes the banana down into the bottle until it bas drawn itself out of Its skin. Cries et Animals. The roar of a lion can be beard far- ther than the sound of any otber living creature. Next comes tbe cry of a hyena, and then tbe boot of the owl. After these the panther and the jackal. The donkey can be heard 50 times far- ther than the horse and the cat ten times farther than the dog. Strange as 1t may seem, the cry of a bare can be heard farther than that of either the cat or the dog. Food and Fere*. The best nourished individual, other things being equal, is the strongest and most useful, and the best fed na- tions, other things being equal, are those which lead the progress of the world.

Gardens, road - 'aides, fence corners, and railroads are adorned with these unsightly things. If the people would individually, or as an improvement club, make way with those in their jurisdiction, or, if the railroads would clear off theirs thoroughly as the law requires, per- haps the influence of the one party might be felt by the other. As it is the trains coming through see only desolate waste on either side, and the officials hardly think it worth while to hire the extra help needed to keep down the luxuriant rag weed and the still more pestiferous sand bur. Either, taken at the right time, could easily be held in check, but if cut and dug too early will grow again. On the other hand if the citizens see such things growing and spreading from the right of way they become discouraged. give up, or at least see no incentive to begin the fight.

It has often been cause for astonish- ment that an animal so remote as a bird in the line of development from man should be the only creature capa- ble in the least degree of imitating the human voice. A talking horse has from time to time been advertised, but for practical purposes man's only 'mimic is the bird. An American naturalist has recently written to prove that birds are not singers, but whistlers -that is to say, that the notes are produced through a tube; to be technical, through the slit known as the glottis -not by the help of vocal chords. But the whole distinction is beside the point. Any one who has seen a bird singing will have seen both the vi- brations of his throat and the varia- tions in the extent to which he opens and closes his beak or mandibles, and, given these accompaniments, together with the production of an articulate language, whistling and singing be- come identical in spite of technical terms suggesting a distinction. Peo- ple are accustomed to the idea that only a few species of birds, such as the parrot and the jackdaw, can be taught, but in wild life almost all birds are mimics to some extent, and proba- bly more of them than people realize could be taught to imitate human sounds. The starling has astonishing skill in taking off other birds, and even the raucous jay can produce a song, or a whistle if the word is preferred, which would do justice to a thrush. - London Globe. What Are the Bounds of Creation? It may occur to some persons that we cannot conceive of an end of space, and it is hardly likely that infinite space would exist without matter and hence that the universe necessarily ts infinite. says T. J. J. See in The Atlan- tic. This argument proceeds upon the supposition that we can conceive all things which exist, an admission hard- ly warranted by experience, for, as we can conceive of many things which do not exist, so also there may exist -many things of which we can have no clear conception -as, for example, a fourth dimension to space or a boundary to the universe. Thus while our senses conceive space to be endless it does not follow that the universe is in reality of Infinite ex- tent. Much less can the absence of an empyrean prove that the cosmos is finite even to our experience, for this effect may be due to dust in space or the uniform absorption of light by the ether. In the exploration of the sidereal heavens it is found that the more pow- erful the telescope the more stars are disclosed, and hence the practical indi- cations are that in most directions the sidereal system extends on indefinitely. But the possible uniform extinction of light due to the imperfect elasticity of the luminiferous ether and the un- doubted absorption of light by dark bodies widely diffused in space seetu to forever preclude a deflnite answer to the question of the bounds of crea- tion. Aa Bye For Color. For city people there is no time like the summer to cultivate the eye for color, to develop the power te appre- ciate color and gain the enjoyment to be derived therefrom. The time when SO many persons see the country in its (varying moods is the time to learn how $o look at color, how to find color or !how to perceive new colors. An old lutist who was conversing upon the delicate task of cultivating the eye the other day, told an incident of one of the contemporaties of his earlier life. "Mutt," said he, "always felt that it ants really a misfortune for him when be made a hit at illustration and cari- cature. It brought him in ready mon- iey, and he was, to be sure, most suc- icessful in the line to which he drifted. IBut he had educated himself to paint, and this sudden success kept him at black and white work so long and so closely that it affected him forever. Re told me once that the constant look- ing at black and white had caused him to lose his eye for color. And I noticed that his color work after that experi- ence never came up to the promise it had given earlier. It always looked rather leathery afterward, and he nev- er seemed to be able to get the old power of the eye back; otherwise he inight have been as great a painter as cartoonist." -New York Sun. When Your Feet and Ankle. Swell. When a person's feet and ankles gwell without being inflamed he should at ones consult a physician. This symptom, ait a rule, is caused by dropsy and points to the kidneys or heart as the cause. A.nd yet it may be due to other causes, although very rarely in deed. Physicians occasionally encoun- ter persons, and usually women, whose feet and ankles swell so on hot days that they are prevented from wearing ordinary shoes. In such instances the cause is attributable to relaxation of the tissues and sluggishness of circu- lation in the affected extremities, and the symptoms, therefore, need not occa- sion apprehension. The exceptional Cases, however, are so rare it should always be held a highly suspicious sign and deserving the consideration of Clara Suicide.

THE DESPERATE REMEDY BY WHICH IT WAS STOPPED. For days the river had been ri The levees above were gone for m and miles, and the mad waters smiept over the banks, carrying tunes and even lives before them. one of the big plantations oppo Shreveport every effort was being m to withstand the flood. Hands were tected from every cabin and recru from all the adjoining places strengthen the water soaked lev which shook on the pressure of a m foot.• It was almost dusk, but the men had not rested for days worked the strength of fresh vigor as voice of Tom Aiken,.the.planter, di ed them andcheeredthem on to task which seemed so hopeless as water crept steadily and steadily hi er. But for the fact that every one. busy with his work, a little negro b who suddenly dropped his spade a stole away between the wheels of big sand wagon, might have been s as he scurried away around the cu in the embankment. Herat' quickly along for full a qu ter of a mile without looking ba down the narrow, slippery road t was left between the cotton rows a the levee. The boy slackened his p when he became convinced that no 0 was in pursuit of him, and as he did he heard the loud, cheery voice of T Aiken back at the break, "All work gether, boys!" "Huh? All work together," the bo said. "Yessir, but you bet dis here n ger done tired er workin togedder. I' gwitte to sleep, I is. I sin' shet my ey fur two whole days an nights, an gwine round the p'int to Aunt Viny an go to sleep." In his eagerness to reach the cove mal the little negro quickened his pa again. It was now almost dark, but h eyes had grown accustomed to t gloom. He could see the curving line the levee, which seemed to tremb with a premonition of its own inad quacy. He could see all the water poo in the road. His little legs had mea tired perhaps a mile more when the om inous roar of the river made him sto and peer over the levee at the rushin waters. As he scrambled up the slippery ban a clod of loosened earth fell heavily i to the road below, and through the or flee which it left a little stream of mu dy water trickled. The boy caught hi breath quickly when the water ra over his hand. "Lordy!" he exclaimed. "Dere's gwin to be a break right here. Lordy! Lardy What 1 gwine do?" He stopped to reconsider. There wa still another mile before he could reac the point, and he knew there were onl a few old women in the cabins there and be could get no help from tha source. It was more than a mile bac to where the men were working, and h was afraid to show himself there afte having run away. Besides there wa not a moment to lose. What was to be done must be done at once. The boy knew that a great responsibility rested upon him. If the little opening were not stopped immediately it was only a question of a few moments before the whole levee would be swept away. He stood up and looked about him. There was no one in sight. He thought he might find a bag of sand dropped by a passing wagon, but there was none. With sudden purpose be turned and sat down over the little crevice through which the water came. The soft earth yielded to his weight, and with his hands and feet he pressed it about him, patting it to make it firm. The difficulty had been solved with- out his volition almost. It was only after it was done that he thought of the consequences. He calculated in his unreasoning way that it was 8 o'clock. How long would he have to remain there? For aught he knew till morn- ing. He began to suffer by and by from his cramped position, but he dar- ed not move even the least bit lest the crevice should open again. He could not tell bow time passed. Every minute seemed an hour. He could not hear the shouts of the men below. There was only now and then the boot of an owl rising above the roar of the water or the swish as a clod of earth was sucked into -the mad current. He wished he had not run away from his work. He began to get drowsy; his limbs were almost numb. He wondered what would become of him if he should go to sleep. If the waters should rise up aver the levee and drown him and ruin the cotton, would it make any differ- ence then that he had tried to save it,: He was Inadequate to the problems' the like of which has puzzled graver' heads than his. The hooting of the owl grew less and less frequent, the swishing of the waters fainter and fainter, the pain in his back easier. He must have slept some time.. Sud- denly he was awakened by the gallop of a horse on the road below. He was too weak to -move. His voice was al - sing. iles had for - On site ade col- ited to ees, an's who With the rect- the the gh- was oy, nd the een rve ar- ck hat nd ace ne so om to- y ig- ze es ted ce is he of le e - Is s - p g k n - d- a 17 e s h y k e r most gone, but as the horse and rider approached he cried out with all t strength he could. summon, "Mars Tom!" Mr. Aiken drew rein quickly an turned his big lantern in the directio of the voice. "Who is it, and where are you?" h asked, dismounting. "It's me, boss," answered the boy. "'What the mischief are you doin here, Pete?" inquired Aiken, peerin into the boy's begrimed face. "Wh you are almost buried alive!" "I runned away from back yonder, the boy answered. "I seed the levee e breakiu here, so I stopped." "Why, bless the boy!" said Aiken "You mutt be nearly dead: What is t be done? Can you stand it till I rid back and get help to fill the break? I will open as soon as you move.'." "Yessir; but hurry, boss," answered the boy. As Aiken turned to remount he heard the sound of boat wheels around tb curve and the whistle sounded out hoarsely. "By George!" exclaimed Alkel. "There's a boat, and three more inches of water will top the levee here and then all is lost." In a few moments the boat rounded the curve and the big lights shone out across the water. "The Marsden," Aiken said, as be saw the two smokestacks, "with Mor- ton at the wheel. I shall have to fight for it." So saying, he picked up his gun from where he had dropped it when he dis- mounted and strode on a few paees up stream to meet the boat. "Steer for the other side!" he called out when the boat was in hailing dis- tance. "I'm running this machine," respond• ed the coarse voice of Morton, "and I guess the river is free!" ,Aiken could see the little tongues of water as they overlapped the bank above. If the boat did not turn, she. would send the water over the levee lower down where the boy was, and be and 'the whole embankment would be sucked in. There was no time to be lost. Swinging the lantern above his head so that Morton might see him, he flung his rifle to his shoulder and called back, `tome another foot nearer to this shore and you are a dead man!" Morton knew what manner of man he had to deal with. The wheel reversed, the boat tacked and grazed the opposite shore, which- was already submerged. "All right now, fete," said Aiken gently, patting the boy's muddy pate. "I'll go on and be back in a few ino- ments." When they came by and put sand bags in the hole Pete had been cover- ing, the little fellow was too weak to speak or to stand, and Mr. Aiken took him up in his arms and himself car- ried him to the house. And now Pete does nothing but ride on the back seat of the carriage to open gates for the driver or to carry parcels when Tom Aiken's pretty wife goes to Shreveport shopping, for his "boss" is grateful to the little hero who saved the plantation. A Career Ending Joke. he This is a true story about one of the e jmayors of Kansas City. He was mayor I hen the incident occurred, not so very d many years ago. Two newspaper men, n both very good friends of the mayor, were about to leave town, and they e asked Mr. Mayor to help them cele- brate their departure. It was a hot day in summer, and aft - g er an hour or two of convivial indul- g gence the mayor of Kansas -City was y, very much under the influence of liq- uor. The newspaper men were feeling jovial, but they were still able to walk ✓ around. It finally became necessary to do something for the mayor. Seeing a fruit wagon pass, one of the newspaper o men ran out and hailed the driver. e When he drew up to the curb, he was t Asked whether or not he wanted to make $2. He replied that he most cer- tainly did. It was then explained to him that -a drunken man would be stretched 'out hi e his wagon, face toward the sky. and that he must drive through all the bust- ness streets of the town and then take the man home. Not knowing Who bis passenger was to be, the d>tjver consented, and the joke was carried out to the letter. Through the streets of Kansas City the mayor of the town, stretched out on an open wagon asleep, was driven, and there was a placard that announced the cause of the strange plight fastened on the back of the wagon. The mayor was not re-elected.—Chicago Chronicle. Some Ridiculous Names.. - According to. Lippincott's, Maurice Thompson was no admirer of Ameri- can nomenclature. "No poet," said be, "ever got a chance to redeem the crudi- ties of our nomenclature. 'Mocking bird' is bad enough, but 'thrasher' for mountain thrush! Doesn't it preclude all prospects of competition with a nightingale, though ours ,may be the superior vocalist? And those postof- flce names! Nature has lavished all her favors upon' some of our southern mountain parks, but it takes an ad- mirer with strong nerves to get his mail addressed to Pignut Cove or Greasy Creek. "The very Tartars could do better than that. 'Tengris Kahn,' the 'Specter Prince,' they called their grandest peak on the Chinese border. It's probably nothing but a bleak, treeless crag, and we have a much prettier sovereign close by here, gleaming with white cliffs and glorious in its crown of ever- green pines. But they had to spoil it and call it the 'Great Hogback moun- tain: " "They should have stuck to the In- dian names," laughed our Georgia land- lord. "Yes, in this neighborhood anyhow," said the euphonist "Human speech of that sort does become a little more musical as you go farther south. From Oshkosh to Tallulah is a long step in the right direction." A Missing City. "There are some 20,000 persons of all classes and ages missing in London every year," said a Scotland Yard offi- cial. "We are generally able to account for 3,000 by referring to the bodies 'un- known' found in the Thames and other places and by taking for granted that the rest have left London for various reasons. We have the majority of the latter on our records as 'wanted.' Still even then 17,000 are left. The greater number of these are probably living in London under assumed names and dis- guises and in different walks of life. They are cut off from all intercourse with their relations and former friends and have as citizens changed their per- sonalities. "In fact, there is a town of many thousand inhabitants in the heart of London which is to all intents and pur- poses missing to the rest of the world and if wanted cannot be found." How He Talked. Rubinstein, after a concOrt tour in Spain, was askeCd: "Do yon understand Spanish?" "No," he said. "Then you had to converse with the Spaniards in French, I suppose?" "Not every Spaniard speaks French." "Then how in tae world did you talk to them?" "With the piano," said Rubinstein. wt-ltb a smile. Au Onpleasaat Relative. "Her rich old uncle isn't a bit ales to her; Is he?" "Nice! He's horrid! Why; be threatens ber awfully!" "Threatens her?" "Yes, threatens to leave all his money to a hospital for asthmatic cats.." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Legend of the Snowdrop. An old legend gives the following as the originof the snowdrop: After Ad- am and Eve bad been driven from the garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate. One day as she sat silently grieving an angel appeared and sought means to comfort tier. She longed for the flow- ers, bat the fast descending snow was wrapping the barren earth in a robe of white. As the angel stood and spoke words of hope to the weeping, repentant wom- an he caught a snowflake, breathed gently upon it and said: "Take form, pure snowflake, bud and blossom and be a comfort to humanity, now and forever." In a twinkling the snowflake changed into a beautiful flower, as white and pure as the snow itself. and when Eve beheld the newborn blossom gladness and hope came to her heart. and she smiled through ber tears, Having fulfilled his mission of love, the angel departed, but where he had stood ,there immediately sprung up a circle of perfect snowdrops.

On April 20, 163.1. Jacques Cartier sailed from St. Malo, Brittany. with two ships and (;1 men, for Labrador, skirted Newfoundland, named Chaleur bay. crossed the eastern end of Anti- costi and then beaded for France again. The next year Cartier returued with three ships. thought he saw in the St. Lawrence the wished for pas- sage to India and was only undeceived by the freshness of the water on reach lag the mouth of the Saguenay. Then was revealed the majestic size of the continent, for, with the exception of the Amason and tbe Orinoco, no Amer- ican river gives one such s sense of power and grandeur. As the Frenehmen inquired the names of the Indian villages along the banks they were answered "Canada," a Mohawk word meaning village, but whlcli was applied by the Frenchmen to the country. Coleridge's Classi'eatlon of Readers. Coleridge says: "Readers may be di- vided into four classes—first, sponges, :who absorb all they read and return it early in the same state, only a little dirty; second, sand glasses. who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time; third, strain bags, who retain merely tbe dregs of what they read; fourth, mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read and enable others to profit by it also." When the Atlantic Waif Bridge... According to the distinguished French anthropologists Gabriel and Adrien de Mortillet there was a junction between Europe and America by way of the British isles, the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland in what is known as the Chellean epoch, which is supposed to have ended 150,000 or 160,000 years ago.—Baltimore Sun.

HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. AUGUST 171 1901 HARB ON THE NERVES RUNNING TRAINS OVER MOUNTAIN ROADS IS RISKY WORK. It Takes Youth and Strength and Courage to Hold an Engineer's Job on One of These Brain Whirling, Nerve Racking Huns. "One of the greatest difficulties of he real mountain roads, like the Colo- rado Midland, the Rio Grande Western and the Denver and Rio Grande, is in getting engineers," said the city pas- senger agent of the Rio Grande West- ern road. This gentleman is familiar with all the intermountain roads, where the trains have to all but fly to Peach some of their destinations. "One might suppose that all roads would look alike to the experienced en - neer, VA they don't. Along some of the prairie roads an engineer can take a run on any new track almost as well as on one he has traveled for years and knows with his eyes shut. But here in the west it is different. Down in Colo- rado, where are some of the greatest monuments to the railroad builder that have ever been erected, an engineer has to travel over the roads sometimes for weeks with old, experienced engi- neers who know the track before he will be trusted with a train. It isn't a question of engineering ability; merely one of experience. "It is enoegh to take a fellow's nerve to sweep around some of those moun- tain curves and passes for the first time. Some good men never take more than their first ride. I have seen engi- neers come from the east, men of gilt edge character and ability, who lost their nerve with the first trip and took the first train for a flatter country. Dizzy reverse curves, trestles that seem to totter in the wind, precipices that seem to yawn for a fellow's life and grades that are a revelation of horror to the newcomer crowd in be- wildering confusion on the view. and :unless a fellow is as stolid as an ox or nervy as the mischief he is apt to lose his head. "You would be surprised at the num- ber of young engineers who are on the mountain roads. For one thing, a man does not last there as he does on a less picturesque, more prosaic run. It takes youth and strength and courage of a rare order to stand it all. The compa- nies are the most appreciative in the world, for they realize how hard it is to get a good man, and they treat a good man right royally. But even this does not attract a surplus of the right sort. rhe principal dangers are in the he'y grades and In the sharp curves, -saelgts landslides are far from un- known. One must know his train and his road like a book to get throligh with his life on the Marshall pass. for instance, where you seem to plunge headlong down the mighty hill. A rock on the track, a broken wheel, a runa- way car or a failure of the brakes to work would end In a smash up that would startle the whole country. The hill might be a glare of ice or frost, it might be wet or snowy. and if you set the airbrake too hard so as to start the wheels to sliding down the hill you go like a gigantic tobogeatn, with death and destruction at the end of the ride. The management of the airbrake and knowing where the curves and danger- ous places are is the greatest part of an engineer's edueation In the mountains. "For my own part. knowing the dan- gers as I do. 1 feel nervous after riding 100 miles over the wildest parts of the roads even as a passenger. I rode through the Royal gorge on the engine a few lvi.uks ago and was glad when the ride was over. It makes a fellow feel trembly like to think what might be, though the worst rarely happens. Such is the care taken in equipment and In getting the best men that the mountain roads have as small a propor- tion of losses as the dead levei roads of the plains. But it takes a man of nerve to pilot a train through some of the wilder regions. "A freight train is the worst, in that it is much heavier than a passenger and is expected to make almost the Beale time. All the heavy stock trains going east. 25 to 30 cars. make passen- ger schedule. A freight is so loosely coupled as to be very unmanageable at critical points. The stock trains are the terror of the engine drivers and all the trainmen. "A fellow isn't necessarily a coward when he throws up his job as engineer over the mountain roads, after seeing what the dangers are. Not one passen- ger in 10,000 would assume the same dauger. The position calls for absolute- ly steady nerve, and one who feels that he is likely to get rattled is dangerous to himself, to the company and to all who ride behind him. A man must think and act like lightning in the face of so many dangers that he must be sure of his ability to stand the strait'. No one stays any great number of years. It is beyond one's power to do so and be safe. A man may be brave and willing and all that, but these are not enough. He must be sure and proof against stampede. Such a man Is worth everything, to the companies, and they treat him like a prince."—Butte Inter - Mountain. An Engineering Invention. N. A. Baker and W. W. Rankin of Ottuts.v-a, !a., have patented a piece of machinery by which the "dead cen- ter" on en engine Is done away with. It has been tried and found successful. By Its use a locomotive may be run with one piston only. Many advan- tages are claimed for the new device.

Its manufactures are entirely domestic. 111111111111111111111111 A LITTLE SOUR CREAM. And Two or Three Delicious Thinar; That May Be Made With It. Not infrequently the thrifty house- , wife Suds herself facing the problem of a little cream turned sour, and it 1' as follows, among other ways, that a , Boston Cooking School Magazine writ- er would confront it: Possibly she Las never discovered what a simple matter it is with auy good egg beater to solve the question in a few minutes with a dainty pat of fresh butter. The buttermilk is pressed out with the back of a wooden spoon and washed away to the last trace in baths of clear, cold water, and the gold- en ball perhaps is left unsalted to grace the table in the appetizing gar- niture of a lettuce leaf. In the following recipes care should be taken to see that the rich cream has reached the thickened stage, while the soda, measured.with punctilious pains, should be stirred into the cream until It is perfectly in solution, the whole a ! foamy mass in which the spoon struck against the side of the cup gives back a hollow sound altogether eloquent of Its condition to the experienced ear. Neither butter nor baking powder is called for, there is no demand for ' wearisome creaming together of butter and sugar, while in no case are the ! whites and yolks of the eggs to be sep- arately beaten. The cup used is the tin measuring cup marked in quarters and holding a half pint. Sour Cream Gingerbread. — Three- quarters of a cupful of thick sour cream, half a cupful of molasses, half a cupful of granulated sugar, two cup- fuls of flour measured before sifting, ! two eggs, a rounding teaspoonful of baking soda, a tablespoonful of ginger, a dessertspoonful of cinnamon. Beat together eggs, sugar and molasses. Add half the cream and dissolve soda in the remainder, after which beat all lightly together. Sift into the mixture flour, ginger and cinnamon and stir un- til smooth. Bake in a moderate oven about half an hour. Sour Cream Biscuits.—One cup of flour, measured before sifting; half a cup of sour cream, one-fourth cup of ' sweet milk, one level teaspoonful of bak- ing powder, half a teaspoonful of soda, scant measure, one-third teaspoonful of salt. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add the cream, in which the soda has been per- fectly dissolved and, when well mixed, the milk. Mix smooth and roll out, using as little flour on the bread board as possible. Rol/ about an Inch thick and bake ten minutes In a hot oven. This will make about ten biscuits two Inches in diameter before baking. THE SUNBONNET GIRL. Wears Her New Headgear or Lets It Hang Down Her Back at Will. After the various sorts of summer girls—the dimity girl, the white duck girl and the golf girl—comes the new- est of all, the sunbonnet girl. With her curls flying about her sunburned cheeks, her face never looked half so bewitching as when thus quaintly framed, says the New York Herald. For sailing, tennis, golfing and in- deed any outdoor sport the summer girl dons this new and favorite head covering and sallies forth ready to en- joy whatever fun there Is in store for her. She may tie the strings of her old fashioned headgear under her chin or leave them fluttering to the breeze, just whichever happens to be the fancy of irtitk 4, raii 4,, ,;,.,-* - i '-'. . .., . , ,i ‘:. ::::::;:iit•ti *afe. 14 it, c'ZivirkeIk*0; - ,Slisatlik al 43_ , ,irmabg I1kal t'titti \11 4111,, lir 4°- \41._ - t:- • - tre* i 4.1// t.!.....— •: \ tw , , 41,4 tog \,;11 THE GOLF GIRL'S FAVORITE. the moment, for the sunbonnet girl is one who indulges every whim and is in for a most enjoyable time. Half the time the bonnet is hanging down her back by the strings or swing- ing over her arm and, again, may be carried by some member of the sterner sex who flutters about the belle of the season as the proverbial moth. The golf sunbonnet, with its bright red gorgeousness, makes a charming bit of color on the smooth green links. Gingham bonnets are trimmed with ruffles or fine white embroidery and are perhaps the most useful kind of all, yet they lack the airiness of the organ- die or mull. Wky She Wantea It.

George Washington's love affairs be- gan at a very early age, and he was to the day of his death "fond of.tbe girls." The flrst sweetheart was one Mary Bland, with whom he fell in love when he was only 14 years of age. This is ascertained from an entry in one of his diaries, where he refers to her as his "lowland beauty." Having tired of Mary, he wrote to a friend that he had decided to "bury his chaste and trou- blesome passion," which, having done, he soon found himself enamored of Lucy Cary, a sister-in-law of Colonel Fairfax. His affection for this young lady lasted for some years, being only interrupted now and again by his nat- ural Virginia passion of making love to every pretty girl whom he met. In 1752 his first serious love affair was shattered. Having fallen in love with a certain Miss Betsy Fauntieroy, he determined to ask her to become his wife, but the fates had destined him to marry another, for she rejected his proposals. He afterward canoe back to her, but found that t he had not changed her mind on that score. His next heartache was caused by a girl in New York after he had become a colonel. She was the heiress Mary Pbillipse. His business called him away from her; but, having finished this, he returned to New York and pro- posed to her, but was here, as before. disappointed by her refusal. In 1758 at Waynes Ferry, while traveling to Williamsburg with dis- patches, he met his future wife, Mrs. Martha Dandridge Custis, the widow of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from history that she was young, pretty, in- telligent and rich. He had been with her all of an afternoon and was to ride away to his home the next morning. On his way he stopped at her home and then and there told of his love and asked her to become his mate for life. This time, contrary to his previous proposals, he was accepted.—Chicago Times -Herald. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Set a small box of lime in the pantry, and it will help to keep it dry and the air pure. Soda should never be used for flan- nels, and if they are kept in good con- dition they should be neither mangled nor ironed. Mud stains can usually be removed from silk by rubbing with a piece of flannel. If the stain proves obdurate, rub with a piece of linen saturated with alcohol. If your window glass is lacking in brilliancy, clean it with a liquid paste made of alcohol and whiting. A little 'of this mixture will remove specks and impart a high luster to the glass. To render feathers white immerse them for a short time in naphtha or benzine. Rinse in a second dish of the same and dry in the open air. Then bleach by exposing in a box to the va- por of burning sulphur in a moist at- mosphere. Good clear starch Is easily made. Wet the lump starch with cold water, stir till smooth, pour on boiling water and cook till clear. It takes a quart of boiling water to "clear" two table- spoonfuls of lump starch 11' too thick, thin with blued water. Including the Frame. His indulgent friends had praised his attempts at painting and drawing to such an extent that the youth really imagined himself to be an artist. His wealthy friends even bought his pic- tures for considerable sums of money "to encourage him," as they said. Recently in walking along the Strand in London he was much delighted at seeing one of his pictures, finely fram- ed, in a dealer's window, especially as he was walking with a pretty lady be- fore whom he wished to appear In the best possible light. Calling the attention of the lady to the picture, he said: "Pardon me, but I have some curiosi- ty to know how my pictures stand com- mercially." And the two entered the shop. "My good man," said he to the keeper of it, "what is the price of that picture in the window here?" "Three shillings." "Great Scott!" cried the artist recoil- ing. The sbopman, thinking the exclama- tion to be one of surprise at the high price, added: "Well, it Includes the frame!"—Ex change. The Successful Doetor. The king of purgatory sent his lictors to earth to bring back some skillful Chinese physician. "You must look for one," said the king. "at whose door there are no aggrieved spirits of disem- bodied patients." The lictor went off, but at the house of every doctor they visited there were crowds of wailing ghosts hanging about. At last they found a doctor at whose door there was only a single shade and cried out, "This man is evidently the skillful one we are in search of." On Inquiry, how- ever, they discovered that be had only started practice the day before.—Giles' "History of Chinese Literature." To Be Wise.

Cabinets For Lamps and Other Arti- cles—What Woods Are Appropri- ate—A Picturesque Brick Fireplace With Side Seats. One may have good success in ar- ranging the furnishings of a room un- til the corners are reached; then arises perplexity. Ready to hand furniture evidently was not designed to go in corners of rooms, so if one is to have anything to fit artistically into them it must of necessity be made to fit the [7_71 .r. A CORNER CABINET. place. Suggestions along this line with the accompanying drawings are .made by a writer in The Household. One sketch, the corner fireplace, with side seats, presupposes a house in process of construction. The other can be fit- ted to corners in houses already occu- pied. Corner devices are arranged for the attractive display of pretty ornaments, a lamp, a jardiniere or other article. The one illustrated has a. gracefully turned opening into which is set a glass globe of goldfish. Another has a closet whose hinged door is a framed picture, a unique device that is out of the COM - mon. The curtained space below this can be utilized for books or for other Purposes. as desired. A design for a corner writing desk combines the practical with the artis- tic. A hinged "leaf" is supported by side strips Of brass that slide up be- hind the board front when the desk is closed. There is space below for a closet and small, triangular closets above, with an open space. letter shelves and a small drawer treat' at • A CORNE'R FIREPLACE AND SMITS. hand. Within an oval opening at the top tbere is an excellent chance to dis- play a handsome statuette or other or- nament. These corner furnishings can be built and set up within a room by any skill- ful carpenter or cabinet maker. To tit them evenly into a corner it will be necessary to cut the baseboards at a proper. bevel, removing the corner pieces. Then the affair will tit snugly up against the walls and appear to have grown there. If the woodwork of the room is paint- ed, these corner devices may be made of pine or white wood and painted to match the othv woodwork or they may be treated as articles of furniture merely and so be made of some band - some wood, such as oak, cherry or red- wood, and left in their natural color. This latter treatment is especially de- sirable in a corner device that does not extend from floor to ceiling. • The corner fireplace design requires a chimney built at the intersection of three or, it may be, four rooms. The brickwork extends out into the walls much farther than appears in the cut, the brickwork being smoothly plaster- ed over and the wall paper being brought to the edge of the fireplace, as shown. It may be necessary in a house where space is circumscribed to cut off some of the corner space above the mantel to secure accommodations for the flue. The woodwork of the seats should be made to follow the style of the woodwork of the room. If this be a library and has much oak furniture, the seats may well be made of oak, the ends and the curved front being of the quartered variety. A Black Flower. Fame and fortune await the Ingen- ious horticulturist who can suceed in producing a flower that is entirely black, a problem that has hitherto de- ified the efforts that have been made in that direction for more than three cen- turies past, for, notwithstanding the 'sensational novel of Alexandre Dumas, entitled "The Black Tul'Ip," there is no such thing as a really black flower in existence, although almost every color ,and shade of the rainbow Is present In flowers and blossoms.

The Shottka of Exercise Lengthen Tbent and Keep Them Even. As a feet, says the author, our lower limbs are not usually both of exactly the same length, though they are so for all practical purposes. The left is usu- ally the longer, though the gait is not notably influenced by this fact. At birth the lower limbs are shorter than the upper, and their movements are rather of the prehensile type. "We are not born leggy like the foal or kanga- roo, but we gradually achieve leggi- ness." The bones increase in length, not so much by interstitial deposit as by saldition to their ends—that is, by pro- gressive ossification of the layer of car- tilage which intervenes between the end of the shaft and the epiphysis. Os- sification goes on till the component parts of the bone are all united by bony matter, and thus the stature of the in- dividual is determined. If from inflammation or injury an epiphysis be damaged, one limb may be shorter than the other, or inflammatory stimulation may eve* induce an in- creased length in the bone affected. The skeletons of tortoises, not being sub- jected to sudden jars, have no epiphy- ses at the ends of the long bones, whereas in the leaping frog the extrem. Ries of the humerus and femur long re- main as separate epiphyses. The con- tinuous concussions to which the ends of the bones of the lower limbs are ex- posed when a vigorous child is excited by its own natural spirit to run about are doubtless of great value in assist- ing the growth in length of the lower limbs, which soon lose their infantile character and become adapted for run- ning and walking. By exposing the lower limbs to the same influences and resistances during their entire growth we manage to maintain them of the same length, and gentle jars upon the epiphyses at the joints may be consid- ered favorable to growth.—New York Medical Record. A BIG WEDDING FEE. The Generous Uses to Which Henry Ward Beecher Pat It. In his "Eccentricities of Genius" Ma- jor Pond says that often while travel- ing Henry Ward Beecher improved his time by having what he called "a gen- eral housecleaning" of his pockets, which would get loaded up with letters and papers until they could hold no more, when he would clear them out and destroy such papers as were worth- less. On one occasion Beecher happened to put his hand in the watch pocket of his pantaloons and found there a little envelope which he opened. When he saw its contents, he cai:ed Major Pond to sit beside him and remarked: "You remember the evening I married C. P. Huntington. I was so much in- terested in the subject that I forgot he handed Inc a little envelope as he went out of the door. I put it in the watch pocket of niy pantaloons and never thought of it again until just now, and here it is, four $1,000 bills. Now,"' be said, "don't tell any one about it, and We will have a good time and make some happiness with this money. We will just consider that we found it." And so in a day or two Mr. Beecher went with Major Pond to look at a cargo of tine oriental rugs, many of wbich he purchased and sent to differ- ent friends, and afterward he spent what remained of the money for coin silver lamps, unmounted gems and va- rious pieces of bric-a-brac, all of which he gave away until he bad used up the entire $4,000 "in making happiness among those whom he loved." After Mr, Beecher's death the major related to Mr. Huntington the incident of this discovery of the four $1,000 bills, and the railway magnate observ- ed: "I should never have given them to him. It was all wrong. I made a mistake. Money never did him any good." The Questions of Clarence. "Well, Clarence, what is it?" asked the boy's papa. "I didn't say anything, papa," replied Clarence.

It is not necessary to waste time upon uncongenial people unless you are bound to them by strong family ties, but It is important that nil with whom you come in contact be studied, with the desire on your part to give credit for all that is good In them and that nothing In their outward circumstances or appearance be allowed to prejudice you against them.—Ada 0.

Show Window Artisans Can Com- mand Good Remuneration, A Broadway shoe manufacturer was asked what method of advertising he found most profitable. "Placing my men near the window," he said, "so they can work in view of the public. I don't .know of anything that catches the attention of the passer- by more quickly than the sight of a demonstrator sitting chiSe to the win- dow running a machine for dear life. "Manufacturers of all kinds of goods have adopted this plan. Rai put their most skilled workers on exhi- bition to show how the finest garments are cut and -sewed. Cigar manufactur- ers take the public into their confidence and let them see the process of rolling as performed by the cleverest hands. Men who deal In mechanical contriv- ances have found that it pays to have at least one machine set up near a win- dow so the crowd outside may observe the intricacy of its parts and the rapid- ity of its action. Jeweloss have station- ed their most expert lapidaries within view of the street that possible custom. ers may see how precious stones are cut and polished and set.

An old and not yet obsolete mode of taking a collection in a Scotch church is by means of a ladle—a small wooden box at the end of a straight wooden shaft about four and a half feet long, the top of the box being sufficiently open to receive contributions of money. For all special collections this was the usual mode in the chief churches of Edinburgh when I was a boy at school there 50 years ago, but it has gradually gone out of fashion and is not often to be seen nowadays. For ordinary Sunday collections the general custom bas been to have a metal plate or basin on a small table at the church entrance superintended by an elder—a mode which was often called the brod. When ladles are used, they are handed round the congregation by elders after the sermon or after the last psalm, and the common Scotch phrase to "lift" the collection may have come from this custom.—Notes and Queries. Some Queer Verdicts. What is "a reasonable state of intoxi- cation" apparently Just missed precise definition by a coroner's jury in Missis- sippi which stated In Its verdict that "we, the jury, find tbat deceased came to his death by a stroke of an east bound train, No. 204, on I. C. Railroad, at Fentress, Miss., in Choctaw county, he being in a reasonable state of intox- ication." A somewhat similar indefiniteness of legal conclusion mars a verdict of a neighboring Georgia jury to the effect that "we, the jury, find the defendant almost guilty." Equally as uncertain and ambiguous as these statements by laymen is the opinion in an early Maryland case which "acknowledges the corn" by say- ing that an occurrence referred to took place "at a former sitting when the court was full." Ant Eaters. Ant eaters are In the curious position of being practically unable to open their mouths. It may almost be said, indeed, that they have no months to open. There is just a small, round or- ifice at the end of the snout, through which about two feet of wormlike tongue can wriggle out, and, as this !longue is bathed with liquid glue in- steadof saliva, every ant which It I touches adheres to it, and the animal licks the' insects up by hundreds at a time. 1111.111111MiJ Called Lorillard's Bluff. Heavy bettor as he was, Pierre Loril- ard once met his match when he ran up against gray bearded James E. elly, who introduced bookmaking into his country. It was nearly a genera - ion ago and at Jerome park. Kelly was laying 21/2 to 1 against one of Lorillard's horses in a big stake event. The news went to Mr. Lorillard, seated Ion his coach on the clubhouse lawn. "I'll just take a little of the conceit out of that sawed off Irishman," said Lorillard to Wright Sanford, Newbold Morris, John Hunter and a. few other congenial spirits. They started for the ring together. "I'll lay $10,000 on my horse at that price, Kelly," said Mr. Lorillard in his princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly 'tvilt and refuse to take the wager. ' "Certainly, Mr. Lorillard." Then Turning to his sheet writer, Kelly said: r $25,000 against $10,000, Pierre Loril lard." Quickly be turned to the to pacer, magnate with a polite "Much obliged to you, Mr. Lorillard; very 'pouch obliged. Would you or your friends care to bet another $10,000 at the same ouds Should be delighted to accommoda4 you." "What a nerve!" was all Mr. Loril- lard could say as he turned on his he,?.1 and walked away. Jimmy Kelly won the bet, for Lor- illard's horse was beaten.—New York Times. The Landlubber Duck. of Sahara, "The proverbial fondness of ducks for water would lead one to presup- pose that of all the world the most des- titute of ducks would be the Sahara desert and that if a stray 'springtail' happened to drift into that region he would either vamoose or turn up his toes with briefest delay. Well, not at all," said a Frenchman who was for- merly a resident of Tunis. "There are parts of the desert where ducks abound, flourish and multiply with every evidence of perfect satis- faction. The fowl is slightly different from any of the varieties we know in this country, but it has the same flat bill, extensive breast and web feet, showing that it was once a water bird, though now it scarcely finds enough to drink and has become too provident to waste any of the precious fluid in ablu- tions. Like the other good Mussulmans of the country, they take their prescrib- ed bath in the sand, and their web feet come In very bandy as snowshoes to walk upon the deep yielding dust. It is claimed by an eminent French orni- thologist that the Saharan ducks are the remains of a race of aquatic birds which frequented those seas when the present desert was a part of the Atlan- tic ocean." Holes In Everything. You are skeptical about the accuracy of this statement and ask why water does not leak from a bottle if there are holes in everything? The answer Is simple enough—the drops or globules of water are bigger than the holes. Taking glass as an illustration, we find that air is about the only substance that can get through those holes. A scientist proposes the following as an experiment: Place a bell in a bottle exhausted of air and hermetically sealed. The bell will not ring because the medium for conveying sound Is not there. Set the bottle aside for a few months, then try the bell again, and it will ring, faintly, perhaps, but nevertheless there will be a sound. That means that the air has got in. It has made its way through the holes In the glass. The incandescent lamp is a bulb of glass exhausted of air so that the slen- der filament may glow when the elec- tricity runs along it. The air works its way in gradually and the light be- comes less brilliant in proportion. Nuts as Food. Nuts contain a large amount of nour- ishment, and owing to their oily nature digest easily. Eaten with salt they are palatable. Either as a dessert course or salted and used as a relish their value is the same. They are not ex- pensive, for from the peanut through the imported varieties they can be bought In bulk at small cost. The peanut has. many good qualities to recommend !Land from its low estate is coming to the front as an important item in dietetics. It is supposed to cure insomnia if eaten Just before retiring. Salted, they are much cheaper than al- monds. The small hickory nut, at a few cents a quart, can be used on the most economical table. The English walnut makes a very good salad blanched and used with celery. Fil- berts, almonds and Brazil nuts are more expensive, but as only a few are needed at a time the cost is not great.— Woman's Home Companion. Eggshell Flowerpots. Eggshells may be used to advantage In starting delicate plants for trans- planting. The halt shells are filled with earth and set in a box also con- taining dampened earth.

A case of a bottle coming to light two years after it had been thrown into the Father of Waters has just been brought to public notice. The bottle was thrown from an excursion boat in Lake Pepin July 21st, 1899. It contained two cigars and a brief note naming the fact that it bad been thrown overltoard from an excursion steamer. Last ?slonday this bottle was picked by Caleb Truax at Foun- tain City, after two years in the wa- ter. The cork had held tight during all of this time, and the cigars were in good condition so that he was able to enjoy a nice smoke. As the distance from where the bottle was thrown in- to the water to where it was found is only forty-five miles, it becomes an interesting question as to where the bottle was held up during most of the two years. It certainly was never floating down the river all of that Winona Republican. find Iferalcl. Another change took place at the state hospital last Monday. C, F. Brown, steward, and J. 31. Rogers, bookkeeper, have resigned their po- sitions, and are suctleeded by John Hurst as steward ar.d C. E. Tegner as bookkeeper. Messrs. Rogers and Brown have for over u decade been efficient acid accommodating, ein ployes of the state. That they are compelled to step out on account of a reduction in salary by the state board of control is to be regretted. They will remain at the institution several weeks longer in order to snake a set- tlement with the slate hoard. More resignations are expected, and it would not be surprising if a large number of nurses sever their con- nection with the hospital. as it is ex- pected that the board of control will make a rednction in their salaries, already small enough -St. Peter Free Press.

Harvey Scott, a well known citizen of this county and for many years a resident of Faribault, died on Sunday last at his home near Prairieville, aged eighty-three years. He was buried yesterday afternoon in Oak Ridge Cemetery beside his wife, who died two years ago. Mr. Scott was among the very earliest pioneers to make their homes in this part of Mianesotu, having settled In Faribault in 1854. He came here from Ohio, but a native of New Jersey. He and his brother, J. G. Scott, at first engag- ed in the sawmill business here and afterwards went to farming, the sub- ject of this sketch going to the town of Richland, where he lived for many years. When he became too old for active labor he sold his farm and re- moved to Faribault, and afterwards went to.Prairieville, where he died. He was an honest man, as willing to pay the last penny he owed as to exact what was his clue. For many years he was severely afflicted with deafness, so that it was very difficult for him to bear, even with a trumpet. Thus his association and conversation with people was confined almost en- tirely to matters of business, and his life, especially since the death of his wife, has been a lonely one. This condition, together with his great age and the infirmities incident, unbal- anced his mind and accounts for the will he made, which is a very pecu- liar one. It provides that there shall be no funeral and no religious service at his burial, and that all his money, after paying necessary expenses inci- dental to his sickness, death, and burial and a few small legacies, shall he burned. He appointed as execu- tors of his will, D. A. McLain and A. Hathaway. He consulted with the latter one day about burning up the proceeds of a certain mortgage. Mr. 11. advised to the contrary, and Mr. Scott had his name removed from the will es one of the executors. It is believed by some who were most in- timate with him that he did burn some money recently, but not to the extent of $25,000 as reported. It is not known just what his estate will amount to, but probably in the neigh- borhood of $50,000. He leaves a brother and a sister in (hip, and a nephew, Walter Scott, of this city, and a niece, son, and daughter of his brother, J, G. Scott. We are inform- ed that under the law the provisions of the will as to burning cannot be carried out, and the property must go to the legal heirs. At the funeral there was a prayer at the house by the Rev. M. G. Shuman, and there were present a large number of neighbors and old friends, many of whom fol- lowed the remains to the cemetery. Among; his bequests were $500 to Oak Ridge Cemetery, and he was also quite generous to his housekeeper and to one or two neighbors who had been especially kind to him.-Fari- 4aelt Republican, 14th.

The Wabash Railroad has ,just received and placed in service on its lines running out of Chicago the following new equip- ment: Eight combination baggage and passenger roaches, thirty palace day coaches, ten reclining chair cars, three cafe cars, and two dining cars. The ma- jority of these new cars are seventy feet in length, and fitted with the latest style wide vestibules. They have six wheel trucks with steel wheels. The cars are finished in the finest selected Jago mahog- ony. The lighting is by Pintsch gas with the exception of the cafe, dining, and some of the chair cars. which are un- usually well lighted by electricity, the fixtures being especially designed for these cars. The dining cars will seat twenty-nine persons and have ample kitchen space. The cafe cars will seat eighteen persons in the cafe, and have a library and smoking room in the observa- tion end of the car, which will seat four- teen person. These cars also contain a private cafe with seating capacity for eight persons. These new cars represent the highest stage of the dgvelopment of modern car building. Nothing has been omitted and no expense spared that would add to their luxurious elegance, or to the comfort and convenience of the patrons of the Wabash Road. No line is now better equipped than the Wabash for handling business to the Pan-American exposition.

Where are they gone, those galleys fair, The treasure ships that sailed the main With snowy rails that caught the air, Sun gilded as a golden stain On ocean's limit? Not again Will they o'er rolling waters sweep, With eftweed wrapped; they long have lain In darkened caverns of the deep. What matters now the quick despair, The shriek of cordage, clank of chain? They went the way that all must fare, And brief the struggle, dull the pain. A blurring of the sense and brain, As the engulfing waves upleap, And now they rest on ocean's plain In darkened caverns of the deep. They lie in halls of ocean, where Forever, with a murmuring strain, The softly swaying waters bear With myriad tongues a low refrain. These light dissolved depths contain What hopes and quests and so shall keep, While sun shall shine and moon shall wane, In darkened caverns of the deep. ENVOY. Captains and crews who would attain Both fame and wealth, how fast you slecp, And fled your dreams of riches vain In darkened caverns of the deep. —H. E. Millholen in New York Commercial Ad- vertiser. sirgessir1/449%.0,W14,01W, FOR TOM'S SAKE. How a Mother Protected the Good Name of Her Son. Outside the apple trees were black and silver in the moonlight, and the daffodils that bordered the path shone faintly golden. Iuside the two old wo- men rocked and knitted. It had been so long since either had spoken that the last words seemed like dim mem- ories of some far distant past. When Martha Whipple brought her chair to a sudden stop, the movement had something startling in it. She leaned forward impressively, her round florid face settling into heavy lines of de- termination. "It's borne in on me to say some- thing to you, Mary," she began. "I've set out to do it more'n once, an then I've backed out. It's jest what every- body's sayin. I hope you won't lay it up against me if I -tell you what's for your own good. It's four years now since Tom went away, an three since he was married, an he ain't never come home, though he knows you're a-lookin for him. I guess there ain't been a night since he was married that you ain't lit up the best room an opened the front door as if you thought he an that city wife of his might come walk- in up the path any minute. Sometimes I've got fairly ragin over it. All this time you've been a-watchin an a -wait - in, an you've never set eyes on him nor his wife nor baby. Now I tell you what it is: I'd jest make up my mind if I was you to let -It all go. 'Tain't right for a perfessor to wear herself out so." She stopped short, staring at her friend. The little old woman bad risen to her feet, trembling with excitement. "We've been neighbors 30 years, Mar- tha Whipple," she said, "but if you say another word I'll never forgive you as long as you live. I guess you'd better go. I guess 'twould be safer so, an, besides, I've got considerable to do to- night. I didn't tell you before, but I'm goin down to Tom's tomorrow." Miss Martha had risen with tragic Indignation, but the news was too much for her. She turned back In un- disguised amazement. "For the land's sake, why didn't you say so?" she exclaimed. "Can't I help you get ready? How long do you cal- culate to stay?" "I calculate I'd be gone about a week. Being the spring of the year, I can't stay longer, for tlire's the gar- den to see to. I ain't got much to do to get ready. If you'd feed the cat once a day—'twouldn't do no goo'd to bring him over; he wouldn't stay—but I'll leave a saucer on the back porch, an you can put his milk there." "I will certain," answered Miss Mar- tha. She had quite forgotten her re- sentment In the keen relish of the news. The sewing circle would meet the next day. She looked back when she reached the doorway and bade her ne4ghbor good night. "Good night," the elder woman an- swered. Her voice had a curious, half frightened tone in it, and her eyes were full of dismay. She gave a sigh a relief and shut the door; then she looked around her, and the look was that of an exile about to leave home forever. "I dunno what made me say it," she cried. "I said it before I thought, an now I've got to go. An I don't know how I can either, with things all start- ing tk bloom so pretty. An Tom might come stoo. Supposin we should pass each other, an he come while I'm gone. But I've got to go. Folks shan't say any such things about Tom, as if Tom wouldn't be glad to see his mother!" When morning came, she made her- self a cup of tea before going carefully over the house for the last time. Then she dragged her valise out on the door- step and locked the front door behind Ler. When the stage came, she walked steadily down the path between the daffodil& She looked straight ahead, but her old face was working pitifully, and the yellow blossoms seemed to dance like flickering lights before her eyes. , The day was close and sultry, an un- seasonable one for spring. The old wo- man sat bolt upright beside her valise, holding her ticket in ber band. As they left the fresh air of the hills the heat became worse. She grew faint, and a terrible fear began to sweep over leer that she would never reach the city. As they neared the city the train be- gan to be crowded. Presently a lady, stopped beside her and asked If the •Is—is Boston very big?" she asket, timidly. The lady glanced at her companion with a quick smile that changed as she saw the worried old face. "It is pretty blg," she replied gently. "Are you going there?" The old woman smiled up at her eagerly. "Yes," she said, "I thought I'd go. You see, my boy Ton2 he mar- ried, an I haven't seen him for four years. I ain't even seen the baby. They kept tellin me to come, an last night I made up my mind to, an I up an started. I hope it won't be hard to find the place." "Won't Tom be at the depot to meet you?" asked the lady indignantly. The old woman looked up with quick suspicion. "Of course he would if he'd 'a' known," she answered eagerly. "Tom was allus the best boy. But I couldn't seem to make up my mind till last night, an then I thought I'd sur- prise them. I picked a bunch of daffo- dils for him—he used to notice daffo- dils when he was jest a little fellow— but they're real withered now." The stranger tried to cheer her. "Your flowers will freshen in water," she said, "and Tom will feel like a boy again when be sees them. Suppose you tell me the address, and then I can put you on the right cars." "I'd take it real kind of you," an- swered Tom's mother gratefully. She pulled a piece of papei• front her glove and unfolded it carefully. The stranger read it, and her face cleared. - "That will be easy to find," she said. "It is right on the car line. and the con- ductor will put you off s ery near the house if you tell him the number. There, now, let me take your valise and put you on the car." The old woman rose confusedly.; the train had rolled into the depot. and the sudden change of light and sound be- wildered her. She clutched the flowers and looked with desperate eyes across the crowd. Then, before she realized what had happened, her friend had put her on a car and said goodby. She had never seen a street car before, and she clung to the seat, her tired, frightened face set in lines of rigid endurance. Every moment she expected an acci- dent, and when the conductor helped her off her first feeling was one of al- most incredulous relief, then suddenly she saw the number that she wanted and darted forward. She was panting with the weight of the valise, but she did not know it. She hurried up the high stone steps and eagerly rang the bell. The bell echoed through the house, but no one came. She pulled It again and again, a nervous terror stealing over her. She must make Total hear! Presently a window opened in the next house, and a girl's pretty face smiled down at her. "Did you want to see Mrs. Has- well?" she called. "They went away esterday." The old woman looked pp. Her hand ropped from the bell. "What did you say, dear?" she fal- ered. "I didn't understand. I want o see Tom. I'm his mother." The girl's pretty face softened with uick pity. She left the window and an down the steps and across to the ld woman. "I'm so sorry," she said gently. Don't you understand? They've gone way. I don't know when they'll be ack. They couldn't tell. Oh, don't ok so! Come in our house and rest ou must come. You can't stay here, ou know." The people were very good to her. he wanted to go back that night. and ey had to tell her over and over that ere was no train before they could ake her understand, and even theno e seemed dazed and bewildered. S ey gave her a quiet room and left er alone. For hours she sat there the dark trying to order her dizzy oughts, and gradually one idea be me clear that no one must ever now. It was all her fault, all hers. t people would not understand, and ey would blame Tom, and they must t blame him. In the morning she was pale and ed, but quite her old self again. The rl was delighted at the change and t beside her at breakfast, coaxing r to eat, and finally went to the pot with her and put her on the ain. When late in the afternoon the ain began climbing up In the hills ce more, she pushed open the win - w and breathed the keen air with a h of deep content. She bad left e city behind forever. The train would reach Holmestturg out 7. Four miles before that was rrar's, a new station, and between rrar's and Holmesburg was a road arly all through the woods and not uch used except in summer. She had ver been over this road but once, but e was sure she could find the way. ly one or two other people, strangers her, left the train at Farrar's. That s as she had hoped, and she plunged olutely into the woods. It was a g walk, and her valise was heavy her. As it grew dark, too, she be- n to stumble on the road. She had stop and rest more and more fre- ently, but her resolution never fal- ed. t was 10 o'clock when she finally 3' a lo th th ru sh th in th ea bu th no tir gi sa de tr tr 011 do gig th ab Fa Fa ne ne sh On to wa res Ion for ga to qu ter • I seal was Migaged. She did not under- stand the phrase; but, obeying a sud- den institatt for companionship, she moved her valise. "You can set here if you want to," she said. "The car's real full now." The lady thanked her and took the seat. She was evidently used to trav- eling. The old woman looked at her wistfully. Presently she leaned over and touched her reached the house. She bad crept around through back ways and felt sure she had not been seen. Indeed, for an hour the lights had been out in the houses. She stood still tor a moment in the sweet, silent night The apple trees were all sliver -in the moonlight, and the daffotlils gleamed faintly down the path. She unlocked the door and drag- ged in her valise. She was home at last. For a moment she stood thinking. Then swiftly opening the door she crept out to the wbod pile. As she was re- turning with her arms full she stum- bled over an animal at the door. Check- ing her exclamation,. she leaned., dow I. It was her cat purring softly about her feet. With a little cry of joy she pick- ed him up and carried him into the house with her. She made a fire and went busily to work, so that by day- light, when she put out her flre, her breakfast was ready, and fresh bread and cakes were in the closet. About 8 o'clock she heard Miss Martha come and call the cat. After she had gone the old woman took In the milk and gave It to him, but she did not let him go out—she wanted some one to talk to. mne was Very teitiety 'and oppressed by a strange sense of unreality. As she sat behind her closed blinds and watch- ed the neighbors go by she felt almost as if she had died and frors another world was looking back upou her old life. Once the minister came to the gate, and she heard Miss Martha call across to him that Mis' Haswell was in the city visiting her son. A hot flush burned In her cheeks, and she turned hastily away. Monday was the last day of her im- prisonment. At daylight Tuesday she slipped out of the house with her va- lise and began the Journey back to Farrar's. The first up train from Boston came at 10 o'clock, so that she had several --hours to waft, but she had known that, and Until the station Was Opened sho Sat on the platform outside with stoical patience.

SOIGAL SOOLETY. 101 per Year In Advance. 82 per Year it not In Advance TAMING WILD BEASTS THE QUALITIES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL IN A TRAINER. Subjugating a Lion 1■ a Task That Calls For Something More Than Mere Courage—The Trainer Uses a Chair, but Not to Sit On. The wild beast tamer as generally pictured is a mysterious person who stalks about sternly in high boots and possesses a remarkable power of the eye that makes lions and tigers quail at his look and shrink away. He rules by fear, and the crack of his whip is supposed to bring memories of tortur- ing points and redbot irons. Such is the story book lion tamer, and I may as well say at once that out- side of story books he has small exist- ence. There is scarcely any truth In this- theory of hate for hate and con- ‘uest by fear. It is no more fear that makes a lion walk on a ball than it is fear that makes a horse pull a wagon. it is habit. The lion is perfectly will- ing to walk on the ball, and he has reached that mind, not by cruel treat- ment. but by force of his trainer's pa- tience and kindness and superior intel- ligence. . Of course, a wild beast tamer should have a quick eye and delicate sense of hearing, so that he may be warned of a sudden spring at hint or a rush from behind, and it is important that be be a sober man, for alcohol breaks the nerve or gives a false courage worse than folly, but the quality on which he must chiefly rely and which alone can make him a great tamer—not a second rate bungler—is a genuine fondness for his animals. Tills does not mean that the animals will necessarily be fond of the tamer; some will be fond of him, some will be Indifferent to him, some will fear and hate him. Nor will the trainer's fond- ness protect him from fang and claw. We see that there is danger always, ac- cident often, but without the fondness titerwould be greater danger and more frequent accident. A fondness for lions and tigers gives sympathy far them, and understanding gives mastery of them, or as much mastery as pos- sible. What but this fondness would keep a tatper constantly with his ani- mals, not only in the public show (the easiest part), but in the dens, in the treacherous runaway-, in the strange night hour's, in the early morning romp, when no one is looking, when t) _re is no reason for being with them e..�-ept the tamer's own joy iu it? 1'io not purpose to present in detail the methods of taming wild beasts, rather what happens after they are tamed: but 1 may say that a lion tamer always begins by spending weeks or months in gaining a new animal's confidence. Day after day he will stand for a long time outside the cage, merely looking at the lion, talking to hind, impressing upon the beast a general familiarity with his voice and person. And each time, as he goes away, he is careful to toss a piece of meat as a pleasant memento of his visit. Later he ventures Inside the bars, carrying some simple weapon—a whip, a rod, perhaps a broom, which is more formidable than might be supposed, through the Jab of its sharp bristles. One tattier used a common chair wit' much success against unbroken lions. If the creature came at him, there were the four legs in his face. and soon the chain '•:rune to represent boundless power le that ignorant lion. Ile feared it and hated it, as was seen on one occasion cvlreu the tamer left it in the cage and the lion promptly tore it into splinters. Days may pass before the lion will let his tamer do more than merely stay inside the cage at a distance. Very well: the tamer stays there. He waits hour after hour, week after week, until a time conies when the lion will let biro prove nearer, will permit the touch of his hand, will come forward for a piece of meat, and at last treat him like a friend, Si that finally he may sit there quite at ease and even read his newspaper, as one man did. Lastly begins the practice of tricks. The lion must spring to a pedestal and be fed, he must jump from one pedestal to another and be fed, must keep a cer- tain pose and be fed. A bit of meat is always the final argumene, and the tamer wins (if he wins at all, for he sometimes fails) by patience and kind- ness. "There is no use getting angry with a lion," said a well known tamer to me, "and there is no use in carrying a re- volver. If you shoot a lion or injure him with any weapon, It is your loss, for you must buy another lion, and the chances are that he will kill you any- way, If he starts to do it. The thing is to keep him from starting."—Cleveland Moffett in St. Nicholas. Work. Work does not necessarily imply manual labor. There are people who, if they see you without anything in your hands—spade or hammer, book, pen or paintbrush, or what not—as- sume that you are necessarily idling away your time. There is a story told of Archbishop Tait that some guest at Addington asked one of the chaplains what the archbishop, who had appar- ently spent the entire day strolling about the garden picking caterpillars off the flowers or watching the birds on the lawn, meant by saying that it was one of his busiest days in the year. "So it is," replied the chaplain. "His grace has been preparing his charge to the clergy, and tomorrow he will be able to sit down and dictate it right off to me or some other of his secretaries." London Post. HOW TO REST AND SLEEP. % Physician Gives Some Directions For Getting Good Results. Any one who is nervous should be tarefut bow he expends energy. To rest should not be an art difficult of acquirement or one requiring a teacher, yet tnany know very little of it. If you are physically tired, a very few minutes fiat on your back Is worth as a means of repair an hour's sitting in a chair, but mind that it be flat, not reclining on a lounge oc with your spine bent out of shape in a deep chair in which your weight rests on any part of your body except the part Intended to support it—above all, not in a rock- ing chair, that special trap for the nervous. Besides getting into this po- sition you must lie still In it, not hold- ing yourself down on to the couch or endeavoring to hold that article of fur- niture down—that Is, you must be loose, relaxed, unstrung. Look at a child in bed, limbs sprawled all abroad, for "bow to do it"—the Wase of the careless Position Is more characteristic of per- fect relaxation than the more compos - yd attitude of a sleeping adult, says Dr. John K. Mitchell in Ilarper's Bazar. Learn to keep still when you rest. When you move, move with the part of the body needed. Do not waste your force by walking with your arms and face as well as with your legs. 1f cir- cumstances force an unusual and fa- tiguing amount of exertion upon you, break it now and then by periods of absolute rest. No matter bow brief they are, they will be useful if you make them complete and perfect in tht. way described. This is true of mental as well as bodily exertion. A minute or two minutes of quiet, with eyes ci.osc-d if possible, with your tension re- laxed and the gearing of the machinery thrown off for the moment, will help and refresh you greatly. Here, again, more may be gained If the ability to re- lax mentally can be secured In a fash- ion similar to the withdrawing of mus- cular tension. Learn to empty your mind when not using it. This will not only help for the pur- pose of temporary repose, but may be made useful in bringing about sleep. It can, like the trick of muscle relaxa- tion, be acquired and made habitual. You will then be less liable to have your day's work of worry pursue you to bed and fasten upon you, to the banishment of all possibility of going to sleep, or if you escape this, follow you into the land of Nod and bag ride you in your dreams. Dr. Mitchell gives some good advice about the art of wooing sleep that is worth quoting. "Ovei'anxiety about sleep hinders its coming and makes one ¶lkeful. Mus- cular relaxation and a mind emptied of thought are the preliminary requisites," he says. "It may be worth white to add that while we know very little of the physiology of sleep. It Is pretty cer- tain that the amount of blood in the brain is lessened during sleep, though whether this diminution in the blood supply is preliminary to or consequent upon sleep is unsure. The ordinary household remedies for wakefulness are founded on this fact—a hot foot - bath, a hot water bag to the body, a warm drink, which draws blood to the stomach, all having more or less di- rectly the effect of reducing the quan- tity of blood in the head. Almost all sleep producing medicines act in the same manner, but these are undesirable for nervous people, who too easily grow dependent upon them. The habit of their use is not so dangerous as the slavery to pain suppressing drugs, the greatest reason against them being rather in their somewhat depressing nervous and physical after effects. On the other hand, thought certainly In- creases the amount of blood in the head." Living In Hope. Acabdriver of the night hawk species, who begins to look for his prey even before the sun goes down, patronizes a little Italian bootblack named Tony. Every evening about 6 o'clock be pulls up in front of Tony's stand, climbs from his perch, seats himself in the chair and demands a shine. Tony al- ways responds with great alacrity, but never gets any pay. Still be seems sat- isfied. "How is it you shine his shoes for nothing?" asked another customer one evening, as the Jehu climbed up to his seat and drove off. "Dat's Jeem," replied Tony, smiling until his white teeth fairly gleamed. "Jeem is -a ma frien'." "Yes, he seems to be your friend," said the man In the chair. "You give him a shine every night, don't you? What has Le ever done for you?" "Oh, Jeem, be's-a all right," replied Tony. "He's a good -a fel. He say to me once, 'Tony, you give -a mq a shine evra day, an' some -a time I tak-a you out an' give -a you a ride.' " 'How long ago was that?" asked the customer. "T'ree year ago," said Tony, still smiling. "Some -a time Jeem, he tak-a me out. Jeem, he's a good -a fel."— Philadelphia Record. Crying and Groaning. According to a French physician, crying and groaning in pain are na- ture's own methods of subduing the keenness of physical suffering. He thinks that men should freely relieve their sufferings in this way and that crying in children should not be re- pressed, as In doing so serious conse- quences may be engendered. Pardonable Curiosity. "I have met," remarked the old man, "but two sensible women in my life." The innocent maid gazed into his A Bit of Realism. An Instance of the way in which the acting of a play grows may be taken from Ellen Terry's playing In "Mme. Sans -Gene." In the play in question the washerwoman duchess is having a lesson from a professor of dancing. The business of the play requires her to be awkward In her attempts at danc- ing, and the actress is awkward, de- lightfully awkward. She has put on a long riding habit in order to become accustomed to manipulate her court train in the dance and is so much trou- bled with it that finally she tucks It over her arm while she is learning to take the steps. The train keeps slip- ping off her arm and has to be perpetu- ally replaced, and the episode is a cause of much boisterous amusement. One night in a great English manu- facturing eity she was playing the part with even more than her usual verve. She was lost in the assumed character so thoroughly that it was real to her, and the ex -washerwoman, with her mind harassed and worried by the try- ing conditions of her artificial court life, instinctively returned to the habits of her youth. In a moment of abstrac- tion, finding the fat coil of stuff across her arm, she instinctively began to wring it out. The response of the audi- ence was electrical. Every woman— and man—who had ever seen a wash- tub recognized the sincerity of the ac- tion. This moment of creative instinct was recorded in the actress mind and has been repeated ever since.—Cosmo- politan. Analysing His Affection. The young lovers sat beside the wa- terfall. The rapids and the nearby whirlpool had a strange attraction for the romantic young girl. She had heard the story of the unhappy Indian maid- en and the young brave who had gone to their doom, clasped in each other's arms, to the slow music of the "Swan Song." That seemed very beautiful to her. "Jack," she said, "if you saw me struggling in the water near the edge of the falls, would you jump in after me?" "What would be the use, my dear, when I can't swim?" he answered. "But at least we could perish togeth- ' er," she replied bravely. "Yes, there would be no doubt of that," he returned, shuddering at the sound of the cruel waters. "But haven't you often said you would die for me?" she asked, piqued at his coldness. "No, my dear," replied her practical lover. "If you'll remember. I've al- ways told you that I had an undying love for you!"—Smart Set. Patti's Escort. Adelina Patti, the great singer, on one of her tours of Europe was due at Bucharest on a certain date. Owing to inclement weather, however, madame declined to budge from Vienna, and the poor manager went nearly distract- ed. As storming had not the slightest effect on her serene highness the man- ager set his wits to work. Soon after- ward a telegram arrived from Bucha- rest, stating that a brilliant deputation of Roumanian nobles, with a torchlight procession and military band, was to receive the diva. The message was handed to Mme. Patti, who was en- chanted, and at once made ready to start. On arrival, the band played and the torches flared, and madame was put in the best of spirits by being es- corted to her hotel by the Roumanian nobles. It is not known what she would have said had she been told that the "nobles" were hired from the streets and dressed up for the occasion by a representative of the manager. Grazed In the Fog. It is not usual for a ship on the high seas to elect to cast anchor on the deck of a passing steamer, but that is what a four masted .schooner did once in the Atlantic. The two vessels grazed in the fog, and the "catted" port anchor of the schooner caught in the steamer's deck "by a fluke." It fastened to an engineer's stateroom in such a manner as to bar bis exit; but, fortunately, the chain parted just as the room was be- ing ripped into fragments. The schoon- er followed the steamer to its destina- tion to recover her anchor. Cleaning the Cloek. A farmer bas an ambitious son, 12 years gild. who, being left alone for a few hours the other day, tried to clean the clock. He easily got the clock to pieces, but his difficulty lay in putting them together again after cleaning. At this task he was only partly sat- cessfui, and upon his father's return home he eagerly exclaimed: "Father, I've cleaned the clock and got enough works left over to make an- other one!"—Exchange.

Modern wisdom smiles at the super- stitious charms our fore fathers and mothers used to depend upon to cure their ills and preserve them in health. We are not all wise folk yet, by -any means, but at least we do not believe, as the Devon and Cornwall people used to do, that the knucklebone of a leg of mutton worn round the neck is a sure cure for sciatica, or that "black- heads" in the face will disappear im- mediately 11' the afflicted individual creeps under an arched bramble branch. A Somersetshire cure for consump- tion was to lead or carry the sufferer through a flock of sheep In the early morning, when they were first let out of the fold. Some mothers used to place consumptive children in cots In the center of a sheepfold and there leave them from 11:30 to 1 o'clock in the morning, believing that the malady would pass away before the rising of that morn's sun. West of England folk say, that an Invalid, when going out, for the first walk during convalescence, must take care to "go with the sun, from east to west, or west to east, If after sundown; otherwise a serious relapse cannot be avoided." — In South Wales, as late as 18-18, a woman who had been bitten by a mad donkey was persuaded by her neigh- bors to go and eat grass in the nearest churchyard.—McCall's Magazine. Reggie and the Flood. Reginald, 8 years old. has lately be- gun to attend Sunday school. 'Thus far his education has been along "lib- eral" lines and has Included more hu- morous nursery rhymes than Scripture, but now he_ is being taught something of the Bible. The lesson last Sunday was on the flood and the landing of the ark. To prepare him for his appear- ance at Sunday school his sister 'Con- stania, aged 15, drilled Reginald a lit- tle, and to make it interesting she gave him all the poetry and stories about the ark that she could think of. At the Sunday school the teacher seemed pleased with Reginald's inter- est in the subject, and she asked hits: "What verse In the chapter about the flood did you like best, Reginald?" And he answered confidently and loudly: "Ile drove the animals Iwo by two, The el-ee-phant aud'the 1;•angaroot" After his recollection of the Scripture had been corrected by the elimination of this passage the teacher told bow the animals on the ark included all the known existing species. Reginald has a very fair knowledge of geography, and be promptly put this question to the teacher: "How did the Rocky mountain goat get on the ark?" The question remains unanswered.— New York Mail and Express. Go to Bed at 10. One of the foremost surgeons, who is a medical adviser to the throne, was called in to prescribe for a lady friend of mine who is very active in fashion- able life. She was suffering from ner- vous breakdown, and he found her gen- erally out of order in brain, eyes. heart and digestive organs. I an going to tell you freely what he said. though it cost her $50 to hear him: "I cannot sure you." says he, "but you can easily cure yourself.

You will not follow It, I know, but it is all 1 have to offer or suggest."—Julian Ralph In Collier's Weekly. A Dog Star. The perfect obedience of dogs who perform in public is the result of a wonderful amount of patience on ti pert of their trainers, but once the) learn their tricks, they seldom forget them. A dog trainer says in the Phila- delphia Record that there is one sound which a trick dog never forgets: It is the exclamation "Ip!" very short and sharp. In teaching a dog to turn somersaults, we will say, a harness is generally used, and when the trainer says "Ip!" over goes the dog, whether it wants to or not. After a while it learns to asso- ciate the sound with the motion, and gradually the harness is discarded. Walking along one of the Philadel- phia streets recently, this trainer passed a dog that he recognized as a public performer. Just for fun the trainer said "Ipl" Quick as a flash doggie turned a back somersault on the sidewalk. The dog's owner scowled at the trainer, but the passersby were openly amused, while the "star" trotted gayly off with the air of one who had done his duty. Tht t;aarge Not Sustained. "You say," pursued the chairman of the Investigating committee, "that he resorted to no bribery whatever during the election so far as you know?"

It is a mistake to suppose that It is always the last straw- which breaks the camel's back.—Ohicago Herald. One of the queerest little pets ever seen is the tame ant belonging to a well known scientist. This man keeps tribes of ants in nests which he has made himself and feeds then with honey or sugar through a tube that connects with the nests. One day he saw that one of the ants kept coming into the tube to eat up the honey in the glass bulb at the end. When he took out the cork that closed the bulb, the insect came to look for the food, and he offer- ed it some honey on the point of a needle, says the New York Tribune. The ant shrank back at first, then drew nearer, feeling about with its an- tenna:, until it reached the needle. Soon it learned to take the honey off its keeper's finger, although ants are among the most timid of living things, and a new odor or the Least movement outside their nests usually drives these little insects away. This ant is now so tame that it quits the bulb as soon as the cork Is removed and goes to find the honey on the sci- entist's finger. When its meal is over, it does not try to hurry away, but waits till its master lifts it on a bristle and carries it back to its nest. - Does it ever occur to those who fol- low journalistic tips on the stock mar- ket that they are written by men who find it worth their while to follow an arduous and moderately remunerated profession and that therefore the tip- ster obviously cannot trust to his tips for a livelihood? Is it conceivable that any one whose Judgment of the movements of securi- ties was sufficiently trustworthy to make even the majority of his shots buliseyes would waste his time by compiling paragraphs for newspapers? Would he not rather spend half an hour or so in the morning at the end of a telephone instructing his broker to buy and sell and devote the rest of his day to the graceful consumption of the boundless fortune that his knowl- edge and acumen would, ex hypothesi. inevitably provide? And tips from stockbrokers come un- der the same suspicion, for it is not reasonable to suppose that one who really had tips worth following in his possession would utilize them as baits for clients who reward his efforts with a beggarly half crown per cent,—Corn- hill. An Ant For a Pet. Stook Market Tips, A Rattlesnake Story. In "Life and Sport on the Pacific Coast," Horace A. Vachell relates one of his narrow escapes from a friend's bullet: "My cousin and I had been camping and bunting for several days in a sort of paradise valley. One day, during a long ride on horseback, we had seen a great many rattlesnakes and killed a few, an exceptional ex- perience. That night my cousin woke up and saw, by the light of the moon, a big rattler crawling across my chest. He lay for a moment fascinated, hor- ror struck, watching the sinuous curves of the reptile. "Then be quietly reached for bis six shooter, but he could not see the rep- tile's head, and he moved nearer, noise- lessly, yet quickly, dreading some movement on my part that should pre- cipitate the very thing he dreaded, and then be saw that it was not a snake at all—only the black and yellow stripe of my blanket, which gently rose and fell as I breathed. Had be fired—well, it might have been bad for me, for he confessed that his hand shook." Negro Superstition. - Many of the negro superstitions in Kentucky are quite interesting. An old philosopher told me with great gravity: "If you want peppahs to grow, you must git mad. My old 'omen an me had a spat, an I went right out an planted my peppahs, an they come right up." Still another saying is that peppers to prosper must be planted by a redheaded or by a high tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanic majesty to "pack kin- dling" on that day. The three signs in which negroes place implicit trust are the well known ones of the ground bog's appearing above ground on the 2d of February, that a hoe must not be carried through a house or a death will follow and that potatoes must be plant- ed in the dark of the moon as well as all vegetables that ripen in the ground and that corn must be planted in the light of the moon. Lord Sonthey's Guillotine. The most eccentric action of an eccen- tric man was Lord Southey's cool ar- rangement for suicide by means of a guillotine. He had a magnificent one erected in the drawing room of his house in the Rue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony in- laid with gold and silver, the frame- work carved with artistic skill, the knife, sharp as a razor, was of polished and ornamented steel. Preparing for death, his lordship had his hair cut close, and, clothed in a robe of white silk, he kneeled upon the platform under the knife before a mirror and pressed the spring which should release the knife. But the spring failed to work, and the would be suicide decided to give the guillotine to a museum in- stead of making a second attempt to end his life. It is said that he made an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo- tine until the end of his life. Laughter Saved the Ship. Humor has been credited with the saving of many things, but perhaps never before has a ship been saved by its judicious application. In a great storm many years ago a ship's crew were all at prayers, when a boy burst into a fit of violent laughter. Being re- proved for his ill timed mirth and asked the reason for it, be said, "Why, I was laughing to , think what a hissing the boatswain's red nose will make when It comes in contact with the water." This ludicrous remark set the crew laugh- ing, inspired them with new spirits, and by a great exertion they brought the vessel safely Into port.—Liverpool Post. A Professor on Rowing. A story is told about a well known Oxford don who knew more about the travels of Ulysses than about the boat be sailed in. He went down to the river one day to watch the eight prac- ticing. He gazed for awhile in silence. "Yes," he said at last, "they look very nice—very nice indeed, I may say—but bow extremely awkward it must be for them to learn to row backward." Misinformed. Little Mabel—Papa. does our family own a planet? Papa—What nonsense, child! Who put that idea Into your head?

Romance has played a prominent part with regard to the longevity of deer. What says the highland adage? Thrice the age of a dog is that of a horse, Thrice the age of s horse Is that of r man, Thrice the age of a man is that of a deer, Thrice the age of a deer 1a that of an eagle, Thrice the age of an eagle is that of an oak tree. This is to assign the deer a period of more than 200 years, and the estimate is supported by many highly circum- stantial stories. Thus Captain Mc- Donald of Tulloch, who died in 1776, aged 86 years, Is said to have known the white hind of Loch Trieg for 50 years, his father for a like period before him and his grandfather for 60 years before him. So in 1826 MacDonald of Glengarry is reported to have killed a stag which bore a mark on the left ear identical with that made on all the calves he could catch by Ewen-Maclan- Og, who bad been dead 150 years. Anal- ogous stories, It may be noted, are told in countries on the continent of Europe, where deer are to be found In any number.—Chambers' Journal. Just Like Eve's Apple. A fruit supposed to bear the mark of Eve's teeth is one of the many botani- cal curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which it grows is known by the signifi- cant name of "the forbidden fruit," or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom has a very pleasant scent, but the really remarkable fea- ture of the tree, the one to which it owes Its name, is the fruit. 1t is beau- tiful and hangs from the tree in a pe- culiar manner. Orange on the outside and deep crim- son within, each fruit has the appear- ance of having had a piece bitten nut of it. This fact, together with its poi- sonous quality, led the Mohammedans to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden and to warn men against its noxious properties. The mark upon the fruit is attributed to Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not also leave its mark is not known. but as only one piece seems to be missing its loss is ascribed to the woman.— Youth's Companion. Banks Ready For Emergencies. To meet sudden and unexpected de- mands \spon banks a large sum is kept ready for use. The average large bank—say with total assets of $20,000,- 000—is prepared by four lines of de- fense to resist sudden attack. In the vault or safe about $500,000 in bank bills is always on band. back of that is a cash reserve of perhaps $1,500,000 de- posited in various business banks sub- ject to instant call, back of that again is perhaps $8,000,000 in United States and other gilt edged securities Imme- diately marketable, and the fourth and last line of defense and to be retired upon only in extreme distress is $6,000,- 000 or $8,000,000 in bonds and mort- gages, on which the mortgagers will be hurriedly called to make a payment on account if the bank is pushed to ex- tremities. With such resources dis- aster would seem impossible, though it bas come to the best fortified institu- tions.—Bookkeeper. Monument to a Pig. No stranger monument ever existed than that which was erected at the Hotel de Ville by the inhabitants of Luneburg, in Hanover, in honor of a pig. This, which took the form of a kind of mausoleum. contained a large glass case in which was hermetically inclosed a fine ham cut from the ani- mal whose memory was to be banded down to posterity. Above was a hand- some slab of marble, on which. en- graved in letters of gold, was the fol- lowing inscription In Latin: "Passers- by, contemplate here the mortal re- mains of the pig which acquired for itself imperishable glory by the dis. covery of the salt springs of Lune- burg." Changed His Tune. It is said that when President Polk visited Boston he was impressively re- ceived at Faneull Hall market. The clerk walked in front of him down the length of the market announcing in loud tones: "Make way, gentlemen, for the president of the United States. The president of the United States! Fellow citizens, make room!" The chief had stepped into one of the stalls to look at some game, when the clerk turned round suddenly and, find- ing himself alone, suddenly changed his tone, and exclaimed: "My graeiousi Where has that darned idiot got to?"

GOT THE POSITION. She Successfully Played on the Weakness of the Statesman, The New York Herald tells how a diplomatic young lady who understood the weakness of politicians secured some years ago a place in the state service. The day before the opening of the session a shy girl knocked at the door of the attorney general's office. "Is the attorney general in?" she asked timidly. "Yes," said the clerk. "He will see you when he gets through with this long line of job bunters. Just have a seat," In the numerous chairs, on the office lounge and standing were 20 more waiting for a turn to press some claim for a position. The attorney general was rather a gruff looking man, and he dismissed each with the remark: "I can't do any- thing for you. Sorry, you know, but there are hundreds of applicants, and each officer, every legislator, has a dozen begging for each position." When the timid girl's turn came, she handed the impatient looking officer a letter. She smid nothing. She hardly Looked into his face. "I'm sorry, Miss C., that 1 can do nothing for you. It was foolish for you to come here expecting to get work. 1'd be glad to help you if I could; but, you see, it's this way: 1 have no influence to get you a positron. 1 am very"— "We were speaking of that at home, but 1 thought it would do no harm to see you," she interrupted. "And we were saying what a pity it was that you had lost your influence." The state official winced. He looked as if something hurt him. "Brown," he said, turning to his dep- uty witk unnecessary abruptness, "this young lady is to have a position in the enrolling department. See that there is a place for her if you have to muzzle every legislator in the building." Devastating Power or Locusts. A swarm of these insects stopped the advance of a Russian army. They filled the air and blinded both officers and men, so that the former could give no orders, and even if they bad done so the men could not have obeyed them. The horses would not face them, and they lay on the ground many inches thick. Every man and horse in the army was incrusted with the insects, and their clothing was literally eaten off the men as they stood helpless and blinded. The railways were useless, as the locusts covered the rails, and the oil which exuded from their bodies when crushed prevented the driving wheels from "biting." After they had settled whole regiments were detached for the purpose of trampling them to death. Trenches were dug across their path and filled with burning coals, but the crowding swarms actually smother- ed the fire, so vast were their numbers. Even in a little island like Cyprus in one year one-fifth of the entire revenue was spent in destroying the locusts, and especially their eggs. When these eggs are laid, they are inclosed in a horny envelope called a "pod," each pod containing 35 eggs. In seven months 1,330 tons of pods were de- stroyed. Now, a single ton of pods contains 60,000.000 eggs, and yet, in spite of this almost locredible destruc- tion, the locusts are still a dreadful plague and show little if any symptoms of diminution in numbers.

Since Chicago firms have captured so large a proportion of the contracts and are likely to capture a still larger propor- tion in the fraure, the twins are be- ginning to whimper like disappointed children. A board of control is un- doubtedly S good thing for some people, and as time passes those who care to know can learn who is bene- fited the most.-Faribault Republican. For several years the School for the Blind has been supplied with mats, brushes, and soft soap manufactured at the school for the Feeble -Minded. This year some Chicago' or St. Paul firms have the contract for furnish- ing such articles, and the School for the Feeble -Minded will have to look elsewhere for a market for some of its products. -Faribault Republican.

The law creating the board of con- trol was so formed that the education- al institution need not come under the control of the board unless the nor- mal board chose to do so. This is certainly a defect in the law, as there is as great need of controlling the normal schools as any other of the state institutions. The state receives less returns from the money invested in these institutions than in any other. They are among the most expensive and need controlling. -Todd County Argus. Pt. Douglas Items. 0. M.

Mrs. Will Cross and daughter and Mrs. George Sanford and daughter returned from Red Wing yesterday, per steatner Cyclone, to spend a week with Mrs. Hattie Campbell. Mrs. Sarah J. Sanford, widow of a late prominent lawyer of Red Wing, died of heart disease Satorday night at Mrs. Hattie Campbell's, where she had been sick for a couple of weeks. She was born in Penn Yan, N. Y., in June, 1837. Lived in Michigan a few years, . but all her married life was spent in 'Minnesota. For fifty years she had been a member of the Presbyterian Church. The Rev. J. .W.- Stebbins, of Hastings, held a short service over the remains Sun- ilay afternoon, and Monday morning they were taken to Red Wing for in- terment, accompanied by her daugh- ter and granddaughter, Mrs. Will Cross and Miss Cross, of Denver, and her daughter in law and Mrs. Camp- bell. Mrs. Sanford was a very su- perior woman, with many friends in Hastings and vicinity. Some of our local merchants, who have been selling goods to the state institutions located in this city, are complaining of what they consider ,..the shabby treatment accorded them by the board of control, which as- sumed charge of the financial affairs of these schools yesterday. Two of the merchants who applied for sched- ules of the supplies in their special lines to be purchased for the schools were informed that the blanks had all been sent out, and that they were too late. One of these is Mr. Tuttle, who has been supplying the schools willi Meats ever since their founda- tion. Last year he successfully com- peted with Swift. Armour, and Cuda- hy, and furnished the institutions with home grown beef. Most of which W015 putchased within a radius of fifteen miles of Faribault. Mr. Tut- tle expended annually for beef for these schools from $15,000 to $20,000 among the farmers of Rice County, and this cutting off of such PO exterelife lenient] fo their beef will be seriously felt by the stock raisers in this vieinity.-Ariboult Pilot A number of young men of this city are going to orgagize what they call the Hand HA' oldeUnion,' the object -of which will be to protect the members against the competition of outside lovemaking.

The board Of 'control had no busi- ness to award contracts to Chicago houses, and their action is open to severe censure. They had no busi- ness to receive proposals from any concern or firm outside the Ilmite of this commonwealth, and The Union does not believe their doing so will be endorsed by the people and tax pay- ers of the state. It is a mighty poor way to build up Minnesota, this send- ing out state !money for merchandise to other states. Those who receive the benefits in no way benefit the state of Minnesota, its business, or its peo- ple. The Union would endorse most heartily a bill submitted to the legis- lature that would prevent the board of control from awarding any con- tract for supplies outside the state.

At a meeting of depositors held yesterday, Col. D. J. Dill was recom- mended for appointment as receiver of the fl. S. Miller Bank. As we un- derstand it this is only advisory, and must meet the approval of the ap- pointing power to become effective. Mr. Miller has been in the banking business here for the last thirty years, and during all that time has had the full confidence of all our citizens, and the public at large as well, and his failure was a surprise to all. At Ibis writing it is not known what the loss to depositors will be, but the best estimate now attainable places it at twenty to twenty-five per cent. -Prescott Tribune, 16t1i. Th. et.

How little it costs, if we give it a thought, To make happy some heart each day! Just one kind word or a tender smile As we go on our daily way; Perchance a look will suffice to dear The cloud from a neighbor's face And the press of a hand in sympathy A sorrowful tear efface. One walks in sunlight; another goes All weary in the shade. One treads a path that is fair and smooth; Another must pray for aid. It costs so little! I wonder why We give it so little thought. A smile, kind words, a glance, a touch; What magic with them is wrought! --Exchange. 0-41-11-41-41-41-0 The Blessing of A New Moon. A STORY OF T11E EAST. At one corner of a dark, narrow street In the old quarter of, Belgrade, a sec- tion of the city which is at one and the same time a bazaar, a Mohammedan paradise and a resort of criminals, there Is a small cafe kept by an Italian, Mme. Peregrinl. In this dubious establishment a young Iran was seated one evening, reading a Vienna paper, paying no re- gard to the various other occupants of the room, all of whom were engaged with their own affairs. Some gypsies at the further end of the cafe were playing wild, plaintive melodies on their violins, while their black eyed women heat time upon tambourines and danced with melancholy grace. Suddenly Mme. Peregrinl placed a hand upon the young man's should and bending her head to his ear, aid softly: "You are unhappy, Mr. Bukarest. What is the matter?" "I ant going to leave Belgrade," he replied. "Because you cannot marry the fine lady with whom you are in love?" Naome Bukarest shrugged his shoul- ders. "I have an uncle in Constanti- nople; he Is a merchant there. I am going to see him. Can you tell me the cheapest way of getting there?" "You have hit upon a lucky time," answered the woman. "There is a lady here who has noticed you on several occasions; she is deeply interested in you. Her father is a captaiu and no doubt .will take you on his vessel. Come with me." The hostess led the handsome young Israelite into a small adjoining room, whose sole piece of furniture consisted of a Turkish divan. Upon this divan was stretched a pretty young woman in an odd costume, partly oriental, partly Hungarian. She received the stranger with a coquettish smile and listened attentively to lime. Peregrini's narra- tion of the matter at hand. Then mine hostess left the room, and Varvasa-for this was the name of the pretty crea- ture -invited Naome to take a seat be- side her. The conversation soon grew bright and animated, and the ,young Dan fella willing victim to the charm 1' the girl's presence. It seemed as hough he were under the influence of plum, and that all sorts of graceful nd fantastic spirits hovered around !m. It was soon arranged that he should eave with Varvasa and her father,Cap- ait Trifoniades, for'the "Golden Horn." he girl accepted Naome's escort upon easing the cafe, and at the corner of he house turned abruptly into a dark ide street. There, in the heavy shadow f the houses, she threw her arms bout the young man's neck and lashed him in a close embrace. • • • • • • • The next evening the captain met aome by appointment at the cafe, and ame to terms with him regarding the xpense of the voyage. The price was oderate, so moderate that Naome felt e would still have a comfortable little um left after his passage had been aid. The captain's daughter was pres- t as well; but this time she had with er three pretty young girls-oue a Ser - an, the other two Hungarians -whom e 1 -ad promised to place in good situ - ions at Constantinople; one to enter dressmaker's establishment, the other be cashier in a cafe, the third lady's aid to an Austrian countess. "You see, my friend," said Varvasa, rning to Naome, "you are going to avel in pleasant company. I am al- ost afraid you will be unfaithful to 1 0 0 a I) T 1 0 a N m h p en h 1i sh at a to m to tr m me." The color flew to Naome's face, and Varvasa gave him a light tap upon the shoulder, as though to say, "I am quite sure that I can count upon your abso- lute devotion." Two days later the little company boarded Captain Trifoniades' vessel and began their voyage down the Danube. Varvasa devoted much of her time to Naome. She permitted him a thousand little familiarities which gave unmistakable signs of her favor and completed his enthrallment by the dark witchery of her eyes and the soft, warm pressure of her little hand. The evening had closed in upon them by the time they had cleared the mouth of the river. At midnight another ves- sel approached, the captains exchanged signals and soon the two boats were touching one another. The Greek or- dered Naome and the three girls to step over to the other vessel. "And why, pray?" asked' Naome in surprise. "What does all this mean?" "Come, we have not time for expla- nations," said Varvasa in a tone of authority. She herself crossed first on the im- provised bridge and the others fol- lowed.

Throwing herself upcu the gold em- broidered cushions and looking at her captive with an ironical smile, the girl said quietly, "Now you are mine." At that moment the portiere was drawn aside and a handsome, powerft: ,Armenian entered.

In the good housekeeper's refrigerat was you'll limnthe milk and cream and bu er- ter covered tight so they won't take I on flavors or odors. You won't find thing dumped around the ice. You won't fin bits of mackerel, cabbage, onions o such stuff that smell up a house, t say nothing of a -refrigerator. Suc things will be stowed away in a clea cupboard down cellar, with doors o wire netting. You won't get a mouthful of sewer gs either when you open the lid. In som houses -finely arranged houses, to the have one y of the latestimprove m 1'o p ve meuts-letting the refrigerator drat Into the sewer pipe. It may be conven lent enough, but food flavored wit sewer gas is not wholesome. In a model house the refrigerato stands in a small, light room by th back door. It is near enough to til kitchen to be handy. There is a gree curtain on the back door window, t pull down when a bot sun glares in o the refrigerator. There is a heavy screen door that locks, and in ho weather there's a fine, cool air comm in all night. The house is safe enough for an inside door locks, and it is kep shut when the kitchen grows uncom fortabiy hot. It is a mistake to set a refrigerator down cellar. It is easier for the ice- man and harder for the woman who does the work. The dampness swells the wood till the do=:r or lid won't shut. There are cellar odors, no matter bow clean it Is kept. In this model house a short bit of hose is kept hitched to the faucet for watering the lawn. The ice is washed off there, and the water has dripped from It fairly well before ft gets to the c door.There's ba k a clean,strong mat t at the foot of the steps. An iceman gets scolded unmercifully for bringing dirt into a house. He can't help it in places where he has to wait five minutes for a dipper of water to wash off the ice or go and get it him- self, and he can't wipe ills feet on a piazza floor. ' - He bas a hundred people waiting for him on a hot morning, and it makes him tired to open a lid and find be has got to lift out half a dozen muskmel- ons, a pan of milk, a chicken and a custard, all sitting around a chunk of ice no bigger than your fist.

Once a week the shelves and racks are washed in hot suds, rinsed in strong bot soda water, then lu almost boiling water. They are wiped dry and set out doors to air. If anything has been spilled, it is scraped off, and then a fine pointed skewer picks out the corners and ledges. The waste pipe is cleaned with a flexible wire that has a cloth wound about the end of it, and boiling hot soda water is poured through. Thus the iceman talks, as reported in Good housekeeping. R yr or t - n s r 0 h n 9 e too- they "We will sell him in Asia Minor. White slaves are a rarity. We can easily find a purchaser for him." The negroes picked up the poor cap- tive as they would a bale and, carry - tug him outside, threw him in a dark lorner among piles of ropes and vari- ous casks. "Where am I?"skof n a ed Naome one of the sailors passing by, "and to whom does this cursed ship belong?" "Our master's flame is Sabag; he sells Armenian slaves." "And Varvasa?" "Is his wife. She is as wily as a ser- pent. It would be hard to find her equal for catching the game. You are not the first whom she has handed over to her husband. She knows how to deal with human merchandise, I tell you, and it would take the devil himself to outwit her in the trade." Naome asked no More questions. With a sign of despair, he pressed his burning forehead against the damp rig- ging of the boat. • * * • • • Sahag ran his vessel into one of t small harbors on the Asia Minor coa The four victims were gagged, thro into bags, placed with other mercha dise upon a wagon and driven off at rapid pace. Upon reaching the hi walled courtyard of the Armeniat house, the prisoners were released fro the bags and Ied.into the presence Sahag and his wife. "My dear little friends," said Varva to the girls, who stood in fear a trembling before her, "a great hap ness awaits you. You will soon surrounded by luxury and riches, b you cannot accept this good fortu until you have passed through a no tiate. I will take the trouble of teat ing you the art of pleasing your Tutu master and of being able to keep h affections. "And you," she continued in an iro ical tone, turning to Naome, "the fits things that you must learn will be ob dience and submission, so let cue gi you some good advice. Resign yourse to your fate. You will find au exce lent master in Sahag, but if you a refractory"- "Ah, in that case," added the A menian, who had just entered, "I kno of certain means which have prove efficacious on other occasions." So saying, he seized a large whip an made it whistle through the air wit such force that his pretty wife brok out into a loud, brutal laugh. The prisoner made no reply, lowere his head and yielded himself to the mercy. Sahag employed him at various won in the house and gardens, Naome pro ing himself capable and willing. In month's time the Armenian was suits ciently well satisfied with his docilit to offer him for sale to a rich wido who was desirous of purchasing slave. Naome cast a timid glance upon hi possible owner. She was a graceful slender woman of medium height, en veloped in a blue cloak embroidered i gold, and he noticed, in spite of be thick veil, -that the dark eyes examine( him attentively. "I am offering youa' perfect jewel," said Sahag, touching Naome upon the shoulder; "young strong, intelligent, good tempered an, of excellent family. You will find hien perfection, Zamira Ben Oporto, and 1 warrant you would much prefer having such a face as that before you than that of a repulsive negro." Zamira made no reply, contenting herself by making a careful examina- tion of the merchandise offered. She inspected his teeth, his muscles, his arms, very much as she would have ex- amined a young horse in which she did not propose being deceived, and finally giving him two vigorous blows upon the chest she nodded acquiescently and began bargaining with Sabag. The discussion consumed considerable time, but at last the, price was agreed upon, the widow paid for the new slave, and an hour later he was in her house. Zamira was the widow of a wealthy merchant. She carried on an extensive business with the Indies, dealing in eastern stuffs - slippers, jewels, pipes and arms -and her three merchant ships plying the Black and Mediterra- nean seas brought her in a large in- come. At first she was annoyed that Naome understood so little Arabian. She had wished to employ him as a salesman and was obliged instead to place him among the porters who unloaded the goods and carried them into the ware- houses. Soon, however, another feeling awoke in the pretty widow's breast. She discovered that she was interested in the new slave; that he pleased her more day by day; that he intruded up- on her thoughts in spite of herself, and, feeling that these emotions were un- worthy of her, she grew angry and ex- asperated against this unconscious en- emy of her peace. And Naome? Once only bad the ample veil floated back and revealed the noble, spiritual face, once only had the heavy Turkish cloak been laid aside and his eyes had rested for a brief mo- ment upon her graceful, supple figure, but from that moment he was hers by that divine right which knows neither command nor obedience. Her presence filled his soul by day, and by night the thought of her controlled and possessed him. • he st. wn n- a gh Ys in of sa nd pi. be ut ue v1- h - re is a- 0- s -e- t !f I- re r - R' d 11 e t!1' a y yv a u a 1 • • • • • * • One day Zamira summoned him and announced teat henceforth he should be one of her personal slaves. He gazed upon the lovely -creature as she rested luxuriously against the silken cushions. Truly she was fair to look upon. Her long Persian cloak, studded in silver and lined with ermine, re- vealed the graceful outlines of her fig- ure, and her unhappy servant felt his whole body thrill as with an electric shock as he listened in respectful silence to her command. Letting her dark, piercing eyes linger upon him for an instant, Zamira or- dered him to put on her slippers, and then bade him bring ber coffee whistle through the air and gave h several cuts across the hack, tl throwing her instrument of tort behind her she ordered the culprit quit the room.

The gre sward about him was decked wi flowers, a grove of orange and lem trees stretched down toward the se whose waves were silvered in t moonlight, and the sweet breath oft t night, laden with heavy fragranc soothed and comforted him. Suddenly one of the myths of ti Talmud recurred to hitt "When God created the two cele tial lights and assigned them the places in the heavens, thh moon a proacbed him and said: "'O Lord, it isn't well that two thy servants should be of the sant rank.

Then waving the ends of his caftan he added: -As I shake the dust f:'onr off me, so may 1 scats.,r all evil spirits it. 1 thost who hate me!" Zamira stepped suddenly from out the shadows. With a cry of display Naome tin ew himself at her feet. "You are an Israelite!" exclaimed his mistress, and as he ventured no reply she continued: "Why did you not tell me this?

Place your foot upon my neck, and let me kiss it each time that it touches me." Zamira gazed at him In amazement. "You do not detest me?" she asked in strange embarrassghent. "Why should I detest you?" - A glad light came into her eyes, and with a proud ulovetuent of her head she said: "You may remain here, but not as my servant. That is impossible." "Your will is mine," be replied; "all I ask of you is that you will sot send me away." The pretty widow laughed softly. "Can you imagine why I struck you?' she asked with a sischievous glance. "Because I was angry at myself. 1 twas ashamed of loving my slave^,a man who was not of my taltb, to whom I could uever give my band." "'Zamira! Is it possible!" murmured Naome.

Two original notions are noted by The New Idea Woman's Magazine. One of New York's most aristocratic young ladies has from Paris a most lovely shirt waist and new stock. The waist is handmade, of the finest quali- ty of white dimity, and is embroidered in small polka dots of red silk. The stock Is very Parisian and is made of dark red corded silk, with a tiny bow of the same in front. The turnover collar is exceedingly new. It is made of the same material as the waist and JEwxi•ftp STOCK -THUMB RING PURSE. Is closely studded with small garnets to correspond in color with the em- broidered dots of the waist. This stock may be copied in stones of any color provided they do not form a contrast to the colors in the waist. Jeweled rings to be worn over tbe glove on the thumb of the left band. from which is suspended a small fili- gree purse attached to a jeweled chain, have only just been imported, but will be one of the principal fads of tbe com- ing winter season. The ring is made to fit the thumb slightly and should not be worn on any other finger. These are from Vienna, the center of fine leather goods and many jewelry novel- ties. When Cnatard Curdle..

Paderewski play I seem quite dazed. the effect upon me is so fascinating! 'Have you ever heard Paderewski, mon- sieur?" "Once, madame; only once," quietly replied Kubelik. "But," and this very firmly, "I shall certainly never hear flim again." "Why not?" asked the astonished beauty. "I will tell you," answered Kubelik. "I am conscious that I possess a cer- tain power, a certain originality. Now, I cannot afford to lose this conscious- ness, for upon it entirely depends my success. I heard Paderewski once, and then I felt my 'proud consciousness' going, my faith in myself slipping. Paderewski's influence over me the only time I ever heard him play was so powerful that I felt, for the sake of my own originality. if I possess any ("Oh, M. Kubelik!" almost shrieked the beauty) that it would be safe and wis- er to leave him to his own joy and gen- ius. No, madame, there is but one Pa- derewski; there are many Iiubeliks!"- Modern Society. Hunting the Kangaroo. When brought to bay, the kangaroo jumps like a flash for the hunter's chest and tries to crush it in with his fore feet. To prevent this each man wears across his breast a two or three Inch thick matting. Armed with a spear, with a club attachment at the other end, they ride upon swift horses into a herd. With the agility and equipoise of cir- cus riders they stand erect upon their' horses and use their spears and clubs. The kangaroo is able to jump cleat' over a horse. As the game is bagged it is skinned, and the skin is stretched on the ground and pegged down to pre- vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes meat for the camp. Each man places his private murk upon his booty, and when they have 100 apiece they return back to civiliza- tion. There are 20 varieties of kanga- roos, among them the blue, red walla by, black, gray and forester, the latter furnishing the best leather, as It lives plainly in wooded sections.

Even the least superstitious are often struck by the misfortunes which at- tend some persons on certain dates. A large firm in the city has in its employ a living instance of the fact. On June 12 an employee lost his left arm by coming In contact with machinery. The accident disabled him for his then employment, and he was given that of a messenger. On another Juue 12 he was run over in the Strand while ou an errand -result, a broken leg. The next accident was a fall on the stairs in the firm's buildings, again June 12; the right arm broken this time. The fourth mishap on another anniversary broke three ribs. The firm took the case into consideration and issued an order that In future the employee was to take a holiday on that date; an order with which be bas now complied for several years. -London Chronicle.

Three hundred years ago, when the Portuguese first visited the island of Mauritius, they flpund a large number of these birds. They were about the size of a large swan, blackish gray in color and hav- ing only a bunch of feathers in place of a tail and little, useless wings. More stupid and foolish birds could not be imagined. They ran abcut mak- ing a silly, hissing noise like a goose, VIA the sailors easily knocked them over with their paddles. They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't run at any great speed, and, as for fighting, they were the greatest cow- ards in the world. They were much too stupid to build a nest, and so they dropped an egg and went off to let it hatch as best it could. A Patti Satire.

It Is His Toirktok Bath, So to speak, and It la to Him a Rite, Both Phys- ical and Spiritual — Making Medi- cine to the Great Spirit. Few, if any, of the writers on the habits, folklore and history of the American Indian have devoted any space to the red man's Turkish bath, an institution homemade, to be sure, but a recognized necessity in every camp and a feature of the daily life of the Indian. On the contrary, com- mentators have conveyed the impres- sion that habits of cleanliness are for- eign to the Indian and that he has an inborn aversion to water except for culinary purposes. By the avidity and frequency with which the Indian indulges in his home• made Turkish bath he proves the fal- lacy of this belief and shows that he, as well as his white brother, can live up to the precept "Cleanliness is next to godliness," only in the practice the Indian puts cleanliness first. The term Turkish bath is unknown to the Indian. He calls that method of ablution a "medicine sweat." It is to him a rite both physical and spiritual, for he cleanses his person and then "makes medicine" to his Great Spirit. That the rite istigiously observed was shown by a d of Bruie Sioux Indians, who made a journey across the continent to the east and went Into encampment In, to them, a strange land. On their arrival, even before they raised their tepee poles, they erected a "medicine sweat" tent. The framework of this tent is of hoop poles so trained that it is about nine feet in diameter, four feet high, flat topped and almost circular in form. Just within the framework there Is a bedding of.straw about two feet wide, and in the center of the tent these is a 'whole in the ground about three feet In diameter and three feet deep. There are no steam vents or pipes, no marble slabs, no rubbers and no sheets. When the Indian is ready -for his "medicine sweat" a number of stones or rocks are heated to almost white heat and dumped into the hole in the ground. Then the red men, 20 or 25 of them, in a costume even scantier than Adam's after the fall, range themselves upon the straw. They sit mummy fashion, the chins on their knees and their ar s around their shins, packed so dos together that even If they would they could not move. 'When they are all ready, btankets, skins and canvas are thrown over the framework until the tent is almost air- tight, two or three buckets of water , are passed in and thrown upon the bot stones and the "medicine sweat" be- gins. The moment the steam begins to rise the Indians begin a chant, which is kept up without interruption until the sweat is over. Packed together, enveloped in steam so thick that none can see his neighbor, the Indians sit, singing and perspiring for an hour or more. Not. an Indian moves. He neither can nor wants to. At a signal from the chief or the medicine man a section of the tent is torn away, and with a heave and a whoop. all the bucks make penmen for the water. A run and a jump, and In they go. It is just as much sport for the oldest warrior as for the boy who has not yet won his war bonnet. Once more on land. the Indian, having per- formed a duty he owes to himself and his neighbor, is ready to "make medi- dne." This is always done after the "medicine sweat"—in fact it is part and parcel of the ceremony, for It is warded as a ceremony. 'The Indian, clean in person and at this moment, before his communion with the God of his fathers, supposed to be equally clean of mind and guile- less of soul. now proceeds to the high- est point of land in the vicinity of the camp, thus getting as near to the Great Spirit as it is possible to do while on earth. On the way be gathers up a little soil, a stray leaf, some old tobacco quids, a dead fly or bug or two—in fact anything which may be deemed refuse, for he is about to convey to the Great Spirit that he has cleansed bis person and that all things unclean have gone from him. These things that he has gathered be places in a piece of white cloth, which In turn is fastened to the end of a long stick. The other end of the stick is thrust into the ground at the top of the hill or knoll, and the good Indian bas made medicine. Two days seldom pass without the repetition of this cere- mony. It never varies. The scene may change, the Indian may wander to new lands or be driven to them, but where he is there also Is his "medicine sweat" tent and there be "makes medicine."— New York Times. No Pipes Smoked In Cuba. Cuba produces no tobacco for chew- ing or for plpe smoking. The Cubans who smoke pipes might be counted on one's fitlgers without making a second round of the fingers. The cigar and the cigarette prevail. To what extent the Cuban cigarette might ever become popular with American smokers is a matter beyond determination. It is cer- tain that most Americans of prolonged residence become, If they be smokers, addicted to Cuban brands and find diffi- culty in weaning themselves back to American brands on their return.—Re- view of Reviews.

"Few persons are aware of the. fact,' Said a well known physician, "but It Is true. nevertheless, that the egg of the partridge is one of the most nutritious things in the world. They are not used for eating purposes except in very rare cases, and then it generally happens in remote rural districts. I have known negro families in the state of Louisiana during the laying season to live on the eggs of partridges. And they would flourish handsomely and grow fat on account of the rich properties of the eggs. "These eggs, of course, never find their way into the market because they are never taken from their nest except by such persons as I have mentioned, and they rob the nests, I suppose, be- cause their principal food supply comes from this source. Quail meat comes pretty high In the market at all times, and the average man will find it more profitable to spare the eggs and wait .or the birds when the bunting season rolls around. These men would pass 100 nests in one day without disturbing an egg. The sport of hunting the birds is an additional incentive. "The average negro does not care so much about this aspect of the case. He figures that the white man, having the best gun and the best dog, will beat him to the bird. So he goes after the egg. One partridge will lay anywhere from 12 to 20 eggs, and a neet is a good and. I know of many families in rural sections who feast on these eggs in the laying season. have tried the egg myself as an experiment. I found it peculiarly rich. It has a good flavor, is very palatable and In fact is altogether a very fine thing to eat. Really I be- lieve that the egg has more nutrition In It than the fully developed bird, but of course, as one of the men fond of the game in the field. I would like to discourage the robbery of the nests."— New Orleans Times -Democrat. HUSTLING FOR BUSINESS. More or Les. of It Done la New York Lawyers' Offices. "Get it move on! That's the great modern motto," said a New York law- yer who has been practicing in the local courts for the last 25 years. "When I was admitted to the bar," he went on, "there was a great idea of the dignity of the profession. A law- yer would about as soon have paraded Broadway carrying a sandwich sign calling attention to his legal ability as he would have thought of hustling In any other way for business. The thing to do was to rent an office and sit in it until somebody came and dug you out of the dust and spider webs and asked you to take a case. "The march of progress has changed all that. Every law firm In this city hustles for business. I don't mean that the big men of the firm chase around after clients. Of course they don't. But the firm does a lot of shrewd planning ahead. It schemes in a particular fashion of its own to widen its sphere of usefulness—to itself. "Of late years one of the expedients adopted has been the taking into the firm of young college graduates who can give a reasonable guarantee that they will bring business. College men know of this custom, and many of them shape their life at the university accordingly. They are after friends. They want to be popular. They want to be able to 'swing' as much of the future legal business of their fellow graduates as they can. "A chap who can bring business of that sort is taken in on a good salary even when be is the veriest tyro at law. He's expected, of course, to do what real work be can and to study hard. But the salary is for the pull be can exert over his fellows."—New York Sun. Animal Intelligence. In a circus in Paris a lion was given some meat shut up in a box with a lid to it, and the spectators watched to see whether the lion would open the lid or crack the box. He did the former, much to the gratification of the com- pany. In the London "Zoo" a large African elephant restores to his would be enter- tainers all the biscuits, whole or broken, which strike the bars and fall alike out of his reach and theirs in the space between the barrier and his cage. He points his trunk straight at the biscuits and blows them hard along the floor to the feet of the persons who have thrown them. He clearly knows what he is doing, because if the bis- cuit does not travel well he gives It a harder blow. Iron In the Sixteenth Century.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH It is Bahrein, on the Southwestern Coast of Persia. The hottest region on the earth's sur- face is on the southwestern coast of Persia, on the border of the Persian gulf. For 40 consecutive days in the months of July and August the mer- cury has been known to stand above 100 degrees in the shade night and day and to run up as high as 130 degrees in the middle of the afternoon. At Bahrein, in the center of the most torrid belt, as though it were nature's intention to make the place as unbear- able as possible, water from wells is something unknown. Great shafts have been sunk to a depth of 100, 200, 300 and even 500 feet, but always with the same result—no water. This serious drawback notwithstanding, a compara- tively numerous population contrives to live there, thanks to copious springs which burst forth from the bottom of the gulf more than a mile from the shore. The water from these springs is oh- ained in a most curious and novel manner. "Machadores" (divers), whose sole occupation is that of furnishing the people of Bahrein with the life giv- ing fluid, repair to that portion of the gulf where the springs are situated and bring away with them hundreds of bags full of the water each day. The water of the gulf where the springs burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but these machadores manage to fill their goatskin sacks by diving to the bottom and holding the mouths of the bags over the fountain jets—this, too, with- out allowing the salt water of the gulf to mix with it. The source of these submarine foun- tains is thought to be in the hills of Osmond 400 and 500 miles away. Be- ing situated at the bottom of the gulf, it is a mystery how they were ever discovered, but the fact remains that they have been known since the dawn of history. ANIMAL LIFE. The army worm Is essentially a grass eating insect, though it often feeds upon other plants, and is said to prefer oats to corn. The malaptecurus, a flsb only eight inches long, can develop a &lock of 200 volts of electricity in the two -thou- sandth part of a second. Several pairs of pigeons which a sci- entist has observed in Paris have rais- ed their young in nests made entirely of hairpins collected on the paths of the Luxembourg. The largest nest in the world is built by the mound bird, a sort of Austra- lian fowl. It makes' mounds some- times 150 feet in circumference, in which it buries its eggs five feet deep. The heaviest bird that flies Is the great bustard. In size it exceeds the Norwegian blackcock. The old males weigh about 35 pounds, but when food is plentiful the young maks may weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were formerly as plentiful in western Europe as partridges. Now they are rarely found. st. Christopher. The belief was that any one who looked at a represehtation of St. Chris- topher was safe for that day from an evil death. The saint was always por- trayed of colossal size and is so paint- ed at the entrance of most Spanish ca- thedrals that all may see him. None of the many carved figures of this saint approaches in size one which was re- moved from Notre Dame at Paris In 1785. It was said that St. Christopher's original occupation was to carry people across a stream, and the legend is that once a child presented himself to he conveyed over. At first his weight was what might be expected from his in- fant years, but presently it began to increase and so went on till the ferry- man was like to sink under his burden. The child then said: "Wonder not, my friend. I am Jesus, and you have the weight of the sins of the whole world on your back." Hence St. Christopher is represented carrying the infant Sav- iour across a river with the globe in his hand. St Christopher bas an interesting place in the history of typography in consequence of a wood engraving of his figure, supposed to be of date about 1423, being the earliest known example of that art. Unknown Canada. One-third of the area of Canada is practically unknown. There are more than 1,250,000 square miles of unex- plored lands in Canada. The entire area of the Dominion is computed at 3,450,257 square miles; consequently one-third of this country has yet been untraveled by the explorer. Exclusive of the inhospitable detached arctic por- tions, 954,000 square miles are for all practical purposes entirely unknown. Most of this unknown area Is dis- tributed in the western half of the Do- minion in impenetrated blocks of from 25,000 to 100,000 square miles—tliat is, areas as large as the states of Ohio, Kansas or New England are yet a secret to white man.—National Geo- graphic Magazine. THE AGE OF DANDTEB BEAUTEOUS ATTIRE 0- THE SWELLS OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. Silk and Velvet Coats of All the Col- ors of the Rainbow Were Then the Rage—The Reign of the 1:Usenet. of Elegance, Beau 'trammel. In the glorious days of King George II men wore silk or velvet coats of all colors of the rainbow. 'they tripped mincingly along upon their toes, sup- porting upon their heads a wheelbar- rowful of peruke covered with a bush- el of powder, their "steinkerke" was sprinkled with snuff, their sctord knots trailed almost on the ground, and their swords dangled from the fifth button, pearl colored silk stockiagi and red heeled shoes completing their costume. It seems almost as though one of "those goddesses the f.;unnings" had penned the following lines to George Seiwin at Paris in 1706 instead of the sporting Earl of March: "The muff you sent me by the Duke of Richmond I like prodigiously—vastly better than if It had been ligre' or any glaring col- or. Several are now making after it." And again in 1770 he writes, "Pray bring me two or three bottles of per- fumes and some patterns of velvets that are new and pretty." Almost to the last moment of his life a piece of rich walstcoating was as much an attraction to the great Mar- quis of Wellesley as it would have been to any of the most frivolous minded young dandies about the town. Indeed, this nobleman would frequently sit alone in solitary state, "en grande toilette," with his blue rithon and gar- ter, as if about to appear at a royal "levee." In the year 1798 there arose on the horizon of fashion, or, rather, there blazed in its full meridian, that wonder- ful phenomenon of elegance, George Bryun Brummel. Born in 1777, the son of an undersecretary of Lord North's and educated at Eton, he en- joyed the credit of being the beet scholar, the best oarsman and the best cricketer of the day. Though not a gentleman by descent, he yet made plenty of aristocratic friends and ex- perienced little difficulty in obtaining the entree to Devonshire House, where he was introduced to the prince regent, who gave him a commission in the Tenth hussars. Until Brummel came upon the scene the prince, though not remarkable for his taste, had, thanks to his rank, been constituted the "'neater of the elegtin cies" or leader of the dandies, but he was at once dethroned by the superior genius of Brummel, who retained the sovereignty till the year 1817. During this period he became the model of all men who wished to dress well, and when he had struck out a new idea he would smile at its gradual progress downward from the highest to the low- est classes. To the last of his stay in England he continued to wear powder, rather priding himself upon preserving this remnant of the vielle cour. His clothes were a perfect study. The coat was generally of blue cloth and its col- lar raised against the back of the head like the hood of a monk, a style famil- iar to us in pictures and miniatures of the period. The buckskin or nankeen, breeches were so incredibly tight that they could only be got on with im- mense labor and could only be taken off in the same manner as an eel is di- vested of its skin. Then came a waistcoat about four inches long, open on the chest, display- ing a stiff white muslin cravat. Hes- sian boots completed the costume, and to these the beau paid particular atten- tion. They were commonly reported as being blackened "au vin de cham- pagne." At any rate, two shoemakers were supposed to insure the perfectness of their fit—one made the right and the other the left boot. Ile had three glov- ers for his gloves, one of whom was ea - elusively charged with the cutting out of his thumbs. Three hairdressers were likewise engaged to dress his hair. As for the personal appearance of this sublime dandy, "his face," we read, "was rather long, his features neither plain nor ugly, his forehead unusually high, hair light brown, whiskers in- clined to be sandy, eyes gray and full of oddity." His conversation, without having the wit and humor of Lord Al- vanley, another of the dandies, was highly agreeable and amusing. Indeed, Brummel has never been surpassed or equaled since. The Prince Of Wales would frequently come of a morning to the beau's house in Chesterfield street to witness his toilet and to acquire the art of tying his own neckerchief "a la mode." For many years, notwithstand- ing the great diaparity of rank, Brum- mel continued the prince's intimate friend. At last, however, a coolness sprang up between them. and the "mir- ror of fashion" was forbidden the royal presence. The prince—then king—saw the poor dandy once many yeara after when passing through Calais. Thackeray says: "The bankrupt bean sent him then a snuffbox with some of the snuff he used to love as a piteous token of remembrance and submission, and the Ing took the snuff and ordered his orses and drove on and bad not the race to notice his old companion, fa- orite, rival, enemy, superior." Brum- el, of course, had many successors, ut "the old order ehlineeth." and none f them ever attained to the Olympian eights of his dandyism, not even the legant D'Orsay, who for a time was nstituted the king ,of fashion and held poor Brummers scepter.—Argosy. k Hardly.

When the Earth Was a Sphere of Lava, Molten and Flattened. The earth revolves on its axis once in 24 hours. Millions of years ago the day was 22 hours; millions of years be- fore it was 21 hours. As we look back- ward into time we find the earth re- volving faster and faster. There was a time, ages ago, long before geology begins, when the earth was rotating in a day of five or six hours in length. In the remotest past the earth revolved in a day of about five hours. it could re- volve no faster than this and remain a *single unbroken mass. It was at this time that the moon was born—separated, broken off from the parent mass of the eartk The earth was then a molten, flattened sphere of lava. Its whole body was fluid. The tides, which now are small, superficial and, so to say, local, were then universal and immense. They oc- curred at short intervals. The whole surface of our globe was affected. And the corresponding lunar tides in e fluid, molten moon were indefinite- iy greater still. Our day is now 24 hours; the distance of the moon is now 240,000 miles. When our day was about five hours long, the moon was in contact with the earth's surface. It had just broken away from its parent mass. As the length of the terrestrial day increased, so did the distance of the moon. The two quantities are connected by in- exorable equations. If one varies, so must the other. Whenever the rotation time of a planet is shorter than the period of revolution of its satellite, the effect of tligir mutual action Is to ac- celerate the motion of the satellite and to force it to move in a larger orbit— to Increase its distance, therefore. The day of the earth is now shorter than the month—the period of revoln- lion—of the moon. The moon is there- fore slow:3, receding from us, and it has been receding for thousands of cen- turies. But the day of the earth is, as we have seen, slowly growing longer. The finger of the tides is always press- ing upon the rim of our huge flywheel and slowly but surely lessening the speed of its rotation. So long as the terrestrial day Is shorter than the lunar month, the moon will continue to recede from us.—Professor E. S. Hol- den in Harper's Magazine. SIMPLE REMEDIES. Diluted ammonia is good for insect bites and stings. A raw egg swallowed at once upon getting a fishbone in the throat beyond the reach of the finger, it is said, will dislodge it and carry it down. A simple remedy for indigestion is the white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth and stirred into a wineglassful of cold water. This should be taken after each meal. For burns and scalds, when no other remedy is at hand, try the effect of a piece of rag steeped in vinegar and bound round the scar. This is espe- cially useful when cooking, for the vinegar Is generally at hand. To cure a severe case of colic take a teaspoonful of salt in a pint of water; drink and go to bed. This is one of the speediest remedies known. It will also prove efficacious in reviving a person who seems almost dead from a heavy fall. Preparing For a Journey. Jerome K. Jerome recalled, with reverence, a habit of his methodical uncle who, before packing for a jour- ney, always "made a list." This was the system which he followed, gather- ed from bis uncle's own ilps: Take a piece of paper and put down on it everything you can possibly re- quire. Then go over It and see that it contains nothing you can possibly do without Imagine yourself In bed. What have you got ou? Very well; put it down, together with a change. You get up. What do you do? Wash yourself. What do you wash yourself with? Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you have finished. Then take your clothes. Begin at youn-feet What do you wear on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put them down. Work up till you get to your bead. What do you want besides clothes? Put down everything. This is the plan the old gentleman al- ways pursued. The list made, he would go over It carefully to see that be had forgotten nothing. Then he would go over it again and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with. Then he would lose the list. Tke Backslider. t'Many years ago," says the Provi- dence Journal, "in a village not 20 miles from Providence a revival was in progress. A young man, one of indis- tinguishable twin brothers who had previously been observed, as was sup- posed, In an attentive attitude at the meeting, rose for prayers, walked to the anxious seat, and there wailed and moaned to such good purpose that the deacons were sure be was on the high road to salvation. The next day he was overheard in the back yard at home chopping wood and swearing painfully at a refractory leg. When remonstrated with for his sudden backsliding, he merely said, "Oh, brother Jim couldn't go to the meeting last night, so 1 went and hol- lered for him." A Light Mannar..

The popular idea that the act of dying Is a painful process often causes a fear of death. But death from even the most painful mortal diseases is usually preceded by a period of cessation from suffering and partial or complete insen- sibility resembling falling asleep or the pleasant gradual unconsciousness caus- ed by an antesthetic. The common phrase "death agony" Is not warranted by what occurs in natu- ral death, which is a complete relief from all pain. When death is owing to heart failure or syncope, it is sudden and painless—perhaps pleasant. Death by hanging, there is reason to believe, Is attended by a voluptuous spasm. Death by deckpitation or electricity is only a momentary shock, hardly felt. Death by poisoning varies in painful- ness according to the poison employed. Opium and other narcotics probably give a painless, perhaps a pleasant, dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know from the account of the death of So- crates, causes gradual insensibility from below upward. On the other hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and mineral acids, corrosive suplimate, tar- tar emetic and other metallic poisons inflict slow and torturing death. Prus- sic acid and cyanide of potassium cause quick and painful death.—Humanita- rian. Willing to Oblige. The young man was from town and was spending a Sunday in the suburbs. He knew far more about horses and carriages than the local livery sales- man, and so his interview with the lat- ter when he sought to hire a "rig" for the afternoon was tinged with a gentle air of patronage on his part. "Oh, have you a trap you can let me haver' "Yes; certainly." "One that will bold two?" "Yes, or 20," from the obliging coun- tryman. "Ob, really! -Have you a stylish road wagon?" Aire," "Pelimps you have a spider or a Brewster buggy, or on second thought I might prefer a rubber tired hansom. You can accommodate me?" "Yes; all kinds cheerfully furnished." "Can you give me a lash whip?" "Yes; with a fancy tassel." "Oh, well, what kind of a horse can you turn out—a short tailed one?" "I think so," came gently from the wearied proprietor; then in stentorian tones to bis man: "Jake, can you give this gentleman a short tailed horse? If not, cut one at once."—Short Stories. The Haman Ear. The human ear is an organ the true inwardness of which the physicians have never been able to get at. They can examine the interior of the eye with ease by throwing into its dark chamber a ray of light reflected from a little mirror, and they found It pos- sible even to see the gray matter of the brain by looking through the little canal by which the optic nerve enters. The cavity behind the nose they In- spect with the aid of a light placed far back in the moutit. They have no difliculty in seeing into the stomach by an electric apparatus; the intestines likewise are readily enough investigated, and the bladder also. But the ear as to its internal arrangements is unapproachable. It is impossible to dissect it satisfactorily after death, for the reason that the parts collapse at once when the vital spark leaves the body. Wonderful Contrast.' Brevity may be the "soul of wit," but the laughable effect is sometimes the very thing the speaker doesn't mean. In the following case a word or two more would have made a clearer de- scription, but it would not have been half so funny. The head master of an English girrs high school is describing to the class the beauty of the Alps, which he has visited during his vacation, and ends his lecture in these words: "And there, with one foot I stood on the ice of the glacier, while with the other I was plucking the most beautiful flowers." Laudanum Drinking. It is surprising what one's cffltstitu- tion can be made to stand in the way of narcotics. From small beginnings It Is, possible to go on increasing the doses until a quantity can be taken which would kill two or three persons unaccustomed to anyfthing of the sort. In the course of a coroner's investiga- tion at Sheffield, England, it was shown that a man bad been a constant lauda- num drinker for ten years. Commenc- ing with a pennyworth at a time, he had gone on until be had taken fully an ounce a day. Pure Sugar, A San Francisco chemist says there is only one refinery in the world that makes absolutely pure sugar. The manufactory is In Germany, and it supplies chemists and druggists with sugar for solutions which must be un- clouded. This chemically pure article would not find much sale for table use, as It is a dirty grayish white In ap- pearance. When dissolved, it gives a clear solution, there being no artificial coloring matter In suspension. Aemsenting For It..

Shrieking Fish. The vivisector believes that to pull a rose "gives matter pain." Perhaps, and perhaps the plant to which Mr. Darwin played the trombone felt a lively pleas- ure; but, like Ole Br'er Rabbit, it "kept on a-sayln nothin." If trout could yell when hooked, we would not fish; but I deem, for reasons, that their mouths are the reverse of sensitive. However, this anecdote was told to me by two ladies: They were fishing, for the first time, 'n a boat on a loch. One of them hook- ed and brought into the boat a fish of unknown species. It uttered yells of pain. While one'of the ladies ran about the boat, shrieking for assistance and advice, the other sat down with her back to the fish and with her fingers in her ears. To take the fish off the hook might have provoked It to wilder la- ments. If all fish behaved in this way (and, for all that my friends know, they do), nobody would follow the profession of St. Peter. But I cannot bold, with the vivisector, that the heavenly bodies perhaps Are whirling there In agony unutterable. Luckily It is inaudible, tieough "the whole creation groaneth." So the vivi- sector might quote Holy Writ, after all, in favor of his hypothesis.—Andrew Lang in Longman's. Explosion. When Box Cars Collide. "Did you ever hear a freight wreck?" said a railroad man the other evening. "You mean did I ever see one, do you not?" "No; I said 'hear' one, and your not understanding the question shows that you never have been within earshot of a collision between two trains of box cars. I was at a little station on the Iron Mountain a few years ago when a long file of empty cars rushed pint, rounded into a deep cut and must have been half a mile away when we beard a frantic whistle from the engine, an- swered by another in a different key, and then there followed a series of ex- plosions as if 15 or 20 dynamite car- tridges had been set off in succession. We knew that something horrible had happened, manned a hand car and started for the scene. We found the freights telescoped, several dead train- men and as fierce looking a wreck as evt.r happened. What caused the ex- plosions, you ask? A man on one of the cabooses told me that as the en- gine on the down train struck the fleet empty box car it blew up like an empty candy bag popped by a boy, and then each succeeding car went off with the pop, pop, pop, we had heard away back at the station." — New Orleans Times -Democrat. "Swine" a Forbidden Word. A former minister of St. Monans, in Fife, told within the last 40 years how when first he came to the parish he was preaching on the casting out of the swine from the man afflicted with devils. When be first mentioned the word "swine," he was surprised to see near- ly all the congregation rise and turn themselves round, at the same time touching something about the pews. The word "swine" being again men- tioned, the young minister was as- tounded to see the sage performance, but on the third repetitron of the fatal word the whole congregation Arose and rushed out of the church. On making inquiry he found that on hearing the magic word all the fisher folk rose to their feet, turned round and in a low voice said: "Touch cauld airn." No further back than a quarter of a century ago these strong but simple people never spoke of swine, but al- ways of "the beastie," and if on their way to their boats in the morning "the beastie" put up its snout and gave them a grunt In the passing they at once turned back in the belief that they would have no heck at sea for that day. A cat crossing their path had the same effect.—London Answers. No Chance For the Truth. "Be truthful," said the teacher. "Always?" asked the boy. "Always," answered the teacher. "Never tell a lie?" "Never." "Not even a white lie?" "Not even a white lie." "Huh," ejaculated the lad scornfully, "it's a mighty good thing for you you ain't a boy with my dad for a father!" "Why?" asked the teacher. "Because," replied the boy, "if you was my dad's little boy, an you'd heard what he said about Aunt 'Eliza comin to visit us with her children, an Aunt Elise had asked you if you weren't all glad to see her, an you'd told the truth, like I did, you'd think there was a place where your trousers was mighty thin after dad had finished with you." He went back to his desk, and as he sat down with great care there was an expression on his face that showed the great lesson of truth had been, at least in a measure, lost on him.—Tit-Bits.

The next day or two he came into town with them one stopped at 1!ie elevator and asked the quotation fur that day, and w.a told that they were paying thirty eigh cents. The feline!. said he was so. -- he could not let the elevator has s the feed, but that he had agreed i'o deliver them to Jepson's at thirLn-tivo cents, and then-. they would go. He went to the eroc•ery and asked JI r. .Jepson what Inc wanted for the load and was given a pt ice of ttiirty- five cents. which was accepted. This cleared the farmer from that. deal anti left him free to sell the oats to whoever Inc desired. Ile returned to the elevator and received thirty- eight cents.

Opinions on the street as to the wisdom of closing of the hank at this time differ widely, some believ- ing that had the examiner allowed the bank to continue Mr. Miller would, is time, have worked out of the difficulty. Others hold that the examiner, who has long watched the operation of the bank, took the wisest course, the one best calculated to secure all the depositors. it can easily be seen that had the bank been allowed to continue, in ease of a panic the more favored depositors would be the first to withdraw their money, and the closing of tate bank would be far more disastrous to the rest than at present.—Prescott Tri- bune, lid. In St. Cloud there is a controversy over placing 'church parsonages on the tax rolls. Heretofore this kind of property has escaped taxes in St. Cloud, but the council a few weeks ago voted to list it for taxation. Under a reasonable interpretation of the law tlase a is no warrant for leav- ing parsonages off the tax lists. They should be taxed the same as any private property. and are tax- able under our present laws. We believe it is a mistake to exempt from taxes any church property not owned by the public. The effect of non -taxation is to centralize wealth, and we are opposed to its centraliza- tion in the hands of private persons, corporations, or societies, whether religious or any other character. Property owned by all the people in common can well be left untaxed, but none other.—Litchfield Independent. School Notes.

The Wabash Railroad has just received and placed in service on its lines running out of Chicago the following new equip- ment: Eight combination baggage and passenger coaches, thirty palace day coaches, ten reclicing chair cars, three cafe cars, and two dining cars. The ma- jority of these new cars are seventy feet in length, and fitted with the latest style wide vestibules. They have six wheel trucks with steel wheels. The cars are finished in the finest selected ,Iago mahog- ony. The lighting is by Pintsch gas with the exception of the cafe, dining, and some of the chair cars, which are un- usually well lighted by electricity, the fixtures being especially designed for these cars. The dining cars will seat twenty-nine persons and have ample kitchen space. The cafe cars will seat eighteen persons in the cafe. and have a library and smoking room in theobserva- tion end of the car, which will seat four- teen person. These cars also contain a private cafe with seating capacity for eight persons. These pew cars represent the highest stage of the development of modern car building. ' Nothing has been omitted and no expense spared that would add to their luxurious elegance, or to the comfort and convenience of the patrons of the Wabash Road. No line is now better equipped than the Wabash for handling business to the Pan-American exposition.

The state board of control that took the reins of government from the boards of the different state institu- tions last week. under the law passed by the last leglslatt-:e, ran against a snag the vet), first Cling in asking for bids for coal to supply all the institu- tions. It was found when the bids were opened they were ingeniously arranged so the combine, which in- cludes all the good marketable coal in the country. had a cinch on the board, It was ever thus. One of the potent arguments urged in favor of the board of control when the dis- cussion was before the legislature was '.ere saving it would effect to the state by buying in balk for all at one Vine, yet Mere in the first days of its authority it fads on that very proposi- tion. We fear that when it comes to bidding on many other articles simi- lar schemes will be employed to de. feat the end aimed at. We have our doubts about tin's part of the hotted being more economical in the furnish- ing the necessaries than the old way by the different hoards.—Renville Star Farther. The state board of control is tneet- ing with disfavor in all cities where state institutions are located, and many merchants are up ') arms against the board ft. ' its action in having ptn'cbased shpplies from con terns located in Chicago and other eastern cities. It has generally bee.! the accepted rule that a share of the patronage of a state institution should go to merchants of the city- 0. townin which it is located, bu- under the present system everythir.8 is bought by the board of control an , they pay absolutely no attention to the merchants lo2ated in the towns and cities where the state institutions are situated. In Stillwater, for in- stance, thousands of dollars have been ennnally expended '3 the past for supplies ion' the state prison, but this has been lopped off and that much trade taken sway from our merchants. It would not be surpris- ing if the next legislature felt called upon to annul the acl, creating the board of control.—Stilltvater Journal. Our Teachers. The following first grade certifi- cates were wanted in this county at the recent examinations: Lucy H. Cadwell, Hastings. Catherine M. Metzger. Hastings. Josephine I. Stephens. Waterford, Agnes A.

Of the failures six are entitled to third grade certificates, and four were rejected. This is a very good show- ing as compared with other counties of the state. The lumber cut of the ,Minneapolis mills this year bids fair to exceed even the phenomenal cut of two years ago. According to the figures of the surveyor general the number of feet of lumber delivered to the local mills up to the end of July ex- ceeds that of the same period last year by ninety million feet, and of the year before by nearly fifty million feet. About thirty-three million feet of logs have been hauled into Minne- apolis by rail.—Minneapolis Tribune. For the national encampment, G. A.

So let me hence as one Whbse part in the world has been dreamed out and done— One that bath fairly earned and spent, In pride of heart and jubilance of blood, Such wages, be they counted bad or good, As Time, the old taskmaster, was moved to pay, And having wam4 and suffered and passed on Those gifts the arbtrars preferred and gave, Fare, grateful and content, Down the dim way, Whereby races innumerable have gone Into the silent universe of the grave. Grateful for what hath been, For what my hand hath done, mine eyes have seen, My heart been privileged to know; With all nay lipe in love have brought To lips that yearned in love to them and wrought In the way of wrath and pity and sport and song— Content, this miracle of being alive Dwindling, that I, thrice weary of worst and best, May shed lay duds and go From right and wrong And, ceasing to regret and long and strive, Accept the past and be forever at rest. —W. E. Henley in North American Review. 800 oppo oppo otespo oCtOo oppo 008 p ©o THE OLD 3 8 • BLUE JAR pp0 ppooppooppoo0000000oppo0 Before C ementlne went down Milltown for the summer she made her mind that she would bend all h energies to wheedle Aunt Phoebe out the old blue ginger jar that Unc Julius had brought home from Chi little thinking that the old slant eye fat sided mandarin would take such jocular interest in her Joys and so rows. The old blue jar had perched f many years on the corner of the hig mantelpiece in the old fashioned con try parlor, and Aunt Plebe knew th if she gave it to Clementine she woul have a dreadfully lonesome feelin every time she stood on a chair to du the old clock, the shells, the peddl vases, the leather fans and other com panions of its lofty abode. But Clem entlne was an accomplished wheedle and the fond old aunt finally said ah might have her wish.m When Aunt Phbo gave over t Clementine her right and title to th old blue Jar, Randall was leaning 1 the window and ldIy sifting rose leave from the old climbing vine through th meshes of his tennis racket. He sympa thlzed with her lively admiration fo the antique and unique in china an was glad that she had attained he heart's desire, but a more absorbing in terest possessed his manly breast. Clementine was going home in th morning, and he had been trying 11 vain for several days to get the feebl courage of his ardent convictions u to the declarative point. She was sue a lively, fun loving girl, and love, yo know, is such intensely serious busi ness. Several times Randall fancle iie had found her In a sober and prop erly receptive frame of hind, whe with a trifling jest she would defea his intention and put the little god t flight. Now, however, when the slant eye mandarin on the blue jar winked a him through the vines, Randall said t himself enthusiastically: "Well, old boy, that's the very thing Thank you for the bright idea! Are they all as clever as you are over in China?" That night, in- his room under the eaves, he constructed an eloquent let- ter to Clementine and in the early morning sneaked into the parlor and deposited it in the robust bosom of the old blue mandarin. "If she finds it before she goes home, it is all right," said the timorous, ador- ing fellow, "and if she doesn't find it until afterward it will be all right too." But the mandarin felt a little funny that day, so when Clementine packed her trunk he inspired her to stuff the ginger jar full of her silken hose, that the precious article might take no risks of breakage in its voyage. So when Randall parted from her at the station she made no sign of knowing anything in particular, and his hopeful heart de- cided that she would surely find the letter when she reached home, and he would then hear from her. Now, Clemintine was a girl who al- ways had a great many things on her mind, and when she had unpacked the treasured Jar and placed it on a dainty table In her pretty parlor -with a self congratulatory thought that it was so respectable to have things that one's relative had brought from China -she wholly forgot the curious load that the mandarin had on his breast. She missed Iger silken hose, of course, and pestered Aunt Phoebe with messages about them. In Milltown, as you may Imagine, Randall waited for the answer to his letter. Awhile he waited patiently, then impatiently awhile, and then dived into his law books with that "composure of settled distress" which lovers have known in every age and clime. He did not dream that the slant eyed mardarin .would be guilty of the ungentlemanly trick of intercepting a love letter. But the fun loving mandarin knew what he was about. He was not with- out experience in these matters, and he wanted to punish Clementine a trifle and bring her to the proper con- dition of seriousness. And Clementine was feeling the situ- ation with all the sobriety that was de- sirable. She had suspected.all sum- mer that Randall had a tender feeling for her which she felt qualified to re- ciprocate, but she was a proud girl and could not by a feather's weight influ- ence the balance of his attentions. Therefore behind her smiles :,c had been not a little wounded that he bad allowed her to come home without hay ing given expression to his sentiments. So she, too, now took on a sober countenance and banished thought and regret by joining several new clubs and taking membership in two or three more charitable organizations. Just before Christmas Randall one day experienced in his breast a sort of 'au � to up er of le , a P- or h n- at d g st er r, e 0 e n s e r d r e n h u d n 0 d 0 imperative intimation -perhaps direct from the slant eyed mandarin, who knows? -that he might hear of some-' thing to his advantage if lie should go down to the city and call upon Clemen- tine; ao after some futile resistance to the message he betook himself thither. He was gracionsly r'-eeived by Clem- entine -that is, graciously enough for a young man who had played the trifler with her invisible affections - . and he seated himself in a cozy chair near the pretty table which held bis old friend -the blue jar. As he talked with Clementine, a Lit- tle canstraint being apparent on both aides, he toyed with the lid of the jar, and the slant eyed mandarin appeared to wink at him three times very know- ingly. Under some occult bu$ imperative pressure Randall removed the lid and touched with his finger the silken tex- ture of some mysterious contents. Curiosity further constrained him, and he pulled from the bosom of the now jubilant mandarin a pale blue ar- 41ele of singular description for a parlor :rllameIIt, aro, rollowing It, ne exrrs- cated a pale pink strip of similar shape and structure. Turning to Clementine for explana- tion of these unforeseen apparitions, he found her speechless with wild eyed as- tonishment, and without a woied or gesture she seized the old blue jar and hurried from the room. Randall smiled the first real, soul felt, refreshing smile that he had indulged in for several months and vowed by the pigtail of the old slant eyed that he would stay rooted to the spot until Clementine returned. What she said to the genius of the jar as she flew up stairs with it only the mandarin can reveal. As Randall paced the parlor, pulling his mustache and wondering if Clemen- tine's keen sense of humor would carry her safely through the trying hour, she came shamefacedly into the room, bear- ing In one hand the blinking old man- darin and in the other the pleading let- ter he had borne so long hid In his clever old bosom. Randall met the dear girl more than half way, and as she whimpered gently on his shoulder he promised never, never, never to tell. And when they were married, if you believe me, that ridiculous old ginger jar accompanied them on their wedding trip, and Randall packed the bosom of the grotesque mandarin full of Clemen- tine's bridal roses, there to fade and there forever to remain. Now, as Randall never told and Clementine never told, the entire responsibility of this revelation lies be- tween you and me and the ginger jar. The Big Ships of the Past. Gigantic as are the sea monsters de- vised by the modern shipwright, we have not reached the dimensions of the Mannlgafual bf Frisian legend, whose Blasts were so high that a boy sent aloft to "bear a hand" came down a gray headed man, whose deck was so spacious that the e captain had to gallop about on horseback to give his orders and whose length was so great that when swinging in the channel her stern scraped the cliffs of Albion white, while her bowsprit swept the forts at Calais. But we have exceeded in some re- spects the dimensions of Ptolemy's great ship, which was 420 feet long, 57 feet broad and 72 feet in depth of hold and which carried 4,000 rowers and 3,000 mariners, besides unnumbered soldiers and passengers. Of the great ship of Hiero, king of Syracuse, the di- mensions have not been recorded, but she was at least as Large as Ptolemy's, considering that her freightage was "60,000 measures of corn, 10,000 jars of salt fish, 20,000 talents' weight of wool and of other cargo 20,000 talents, In ad- dition to the provisions required by the crew," and that ehe was so large no harbor in Sicily could contain her. This problem of harbor accommoda- tion Is one that is already troubling the owners of modern steam monsters and is placing a limit on their growth. -Monthly Review. About Sneesing. We frequently hear the expression, "God bless you!" uttered after some one has sneezed. The expression, if we can believe Clodd in his "Childhood of the World," dates back to the time of Jacob. We are told in Jewish lit- erature that previous to his time men sneezed but once in a lifetime and that was the end of them, for the shock slew them. Jacob prevailed In prayer and had the fatality set aside on the condition that among all the nations a sneeze should be hallowed by the words, "God bless you!" In the "Jata- ka," one of the books of the Buddhist Scriptures, we read that the expres- sion was, "May the blessed Lord al- low you to live!" Buddha on one occasion while preaching to his disciples happened to sneeze. The priests gave vent to the exclamation, and Buddha lectured them for interrupting his discourse. "If when a person sneezes," he asked, "and you say, 'May he live!' will he live the longer?" "Certainly not!" cried the priests. "And if you do not say it will he die any the sooner?" "Certainly not!" was the reply. "Then," said Buddha, "from this time forth If any one sneeze and a priest says, 'May you live!' he shall be guilty of a transgression." Fashions and Fancies. Very trig are the soft fancy hats with crowns knocked in, another vari- ety of the smart shirt waist hat so pop- ular.

Here is a story told by Professor Bar- rett Wendell about Dr. William Ever- ett: The latter was going out to Brockton one aright to deliver an ad- dress and ran across Mr. Wendell in the Old Park square station. "Come along, Wendell," he said. "I am going out to Brockton to speak, and I want some one respectable to sit on the plat- form with me." So the professor went along. , When Everett arose to speak, the hall, which was a large one, was only passably well filled, and even the com- paratively small number present began to grow smaller as one by one people slipped away. Mr. Wendell began to think that Brockton must be a singu- larly cold hearted place when sudden- ly he noticed people coining in by •twos and threes and silently taking seats wherever they could tied thele. Soon the hall was full, with standing room only, but still they came till the aisles and walls were lined with interested listeners. The supposed deserters had simply gone out and told the people of Brock- ton that here was the greatest man they'd ever heard and gathered them in by the score. -Boston Herald. Won by His Wit. A story is told of an English clergy- man who owed his appointment to a rich living to a lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish In which the nobleman's seat was situated. The father of his pupil was patron of the living and was also present at the funeral of the deceased lector. There was a young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstrative that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked If the young man was a son of the deceased gentleman. "Oh, dear, no, my lord -no relation at all," said the tutor. "No relation!" exclaimed the noble- man In a surprised tone. "None, my lord; he is the curate, and I think he Is not weeping for the dead. but for the living." His lordship. who was something of a wit and a cynic himself, was so de- lighted with the bonmot that be con- ferred the living upon the ready pun- ster. How They Do In China.

Cigars Are Rights and Lefts. "It Is not always because a cigar Is badly made that the wrapper curls up and works off," said a tobacco dealer. "It Is often because a right handed man is smoking a left handed cigar. Sounds strange. hey? Well, a left banded cigar is one rolled by the mak- er's left hand. for all cigar makers must be ambidexterous. A piece of tobacco for a wrapper is out on the bias and is rolled from left to right on the filler. The other piece. for reasons of economy, !s then used and must be rolled the opposite way by the opera- tor's other hand. Hence a smoker who holds his cigar In his right band some- times in twisting it about rubs the wrapper the wrong way and unloosens It." -Philadelphia Times. The Fishing Otter. The otter used by Scottish poachers is one of the most deadly fishing instru- ments known. In some waters Is is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water kite, which serves to take out over the water a title bear- ing 50 or more flies. The otter itself 1s a floating piece of board leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poach- er walks along the side of loch or river. letting out the fly decorated line as he goes, the otter board gradually working out toward the center. An enormous area of water Is fished at one time and numbers of fish are killed. An Awakener. A preacher, raising his eyes from his dealt;'" n the midst of bis sermon, was paralyzed with amazement to see his rude son in the gallery pelting the hearers in the pews below with horse chestnuts. But while the good man was preparing a frown of reproof the young hopeful cried out: "You 'tend to your preaching, daddy. I'll keep 'em awake." She Had a Sliest Sorrow. They bad had a little quarrel the night before, and George was ashamed of himself. "When I think, dear," be said, clasp- ing her fondly, "how like a brute I acted, I wonder If you will ever for- give me." The girl made no response, but her frame shook with convulsive throbs. "What is It, darling?t' be went on: "Tears? Ab, look at your beloved and tell him he is entirely forgiven." "Yes, George, dear," she sobbed, "you are for -forgiven free -freely, but it is not our foo -foolish little quarrel that troubles me tonight." "What is it, then, darling?" be asked passionately. "It is the toothache." -Exchange A Woasaa's Bo. "Learn to say 'no,' my daughter," ad- vised the wise mamma. "But why?" inquired the coy debu- tante.

During a local eleictfon In a German town only one man appeared at the nomination desk. "Whom do you nominate?" Inquired the official. "Myself!" was the answer. "Do you accept the nomination?" "Well, no." The officer laughed and said: "Then we must try again. Whom do you nominate?" "Myself!" "You accept the nomination?" "No." A subdued "donnerwetter!" escaped the lips of the perplexed official, but be went on: "For the third time -whom do you nominate?" - "Myuelf!" same the invariable reply. "Do yon accept the nomination?" The man rose up, and a smile of satisfaction spread over his face as be answered proudly: "Having been three times solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the komination, I can no longer decline to accede to their wishes," He then re- tired. -Tit -Bits. Origin of "a Horn." A western man at a fashionable bar in New York called for a horn and then had to tell the drink mixer that it was whisky he wanted before he got his order filled. "Curious," commented the western er, "how people in the east can't under- stand plain English. Anybody down in Kentucky knows what 'a horn' is and how It got Its name." "How did It get its name?" inquired a bystander. "Well, along about 100 years ago the first distillery ever established in Ten- nessee was set up In Davidson county. It was called the Red Heifer, and the customers who assembled nt the still, especially on Saturday .afternoon, to drink and gamble, got in the habit of speaking of a dram as 'a horn of the heifer.' As Tennessee was the first state to be settled west of the Alle- ghenies the phrase spread all •over the west and southwest, finally being con- tracted into the single word `horn.' York Tinges. Garter Slope roti floos. A worn garter Is regarded by some people as quite a valuable present, for it brings to Its new wearer luck. or. at any rate, is supposed to do so. A bride should always wear a blue silk garter at her wedding. Her garter is often given her by a friend who has taken away its newness by wear- ing it a few times, says Home Notes, The wearing of the garter does not end the ritual concerning it. After the wedding ceremony It is either cut into pieces or hidden. When It Is hidden, the brldestualds hunt for it. and the finder is assured of being happily Mar- ried before ttie year is out. When it is cut. It is divided among the brides- maids to give to each good luck and a (lc wets] husband. Sougctbnos the bride bestows her garters on the first brides- maid, and in Germany each bri:lesuiaid receives a pair of blue white silk. gar- ters from the bride. A Daeoc-erer.

"I say, mamma, those new people across the way don't know much!" he exclaimed. "They've got a sign en their front door that says 'Wet Paint!' " "And you are covered With it! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!" said his mother severely. "That sign was put up to warn people to keep away from it." "Yes, mamma," persisted Bobby, with the enthusiasm of a richly re- warded scientific Investigator, "but it wasn't paint, and I knew it. It was varnish!" -London King. "Growing Down." Everybody has noticed that in ex- treme old age people grow rapidly shorter, so that a person f'rmerly of average height "grows down" into quite a diminutive -man or woman. A German contemporary points out that this decrease of height begins as early as the age of 35 years. At 30, we are told, the human body has reached its full height, which is retained for a few years, after which the "growing down" process begins. At first and for many years the process is so slow as to be almost imperceptible, but at the age of about 60 it begins to be noticeable, and after 70, even though a veteran does not stoop at all, the fact that he is "growing down" becomes apparent to one and all.

The well known brown pigment ashes'. sepia Is obtaiued from a ten armed octopus found principally in the Mediterranean and more especially at the head of the Adriatic sea, where it is caught by the natives for food. The sepia is contained in a bag era is really the black fluid of which 5we have all read as being discharged by the creature to cover its escape. Some naturalists say that the fluid is brown- ish, which becomes more credible when we know that this is the source of sepia, The pigment is really a powder which dissolves in water; its strength may be estimated by the fact that it will color 1,000 times its own bulk. When the octopus has been killed, the sack or bag is removed and dried to prevent putrefaction. The sepia is treated with ammonia or caustic soda, washed and dried. It is one of the most durable of paints, except when fully exposed to the fierce rays of the sun, and an even surface can be obtained with it more easily than with most paints. Sepia .:as been obtained from a fossil cuttle- fish thousands of years old and found to be quite good for paint. Tho Power of Superstition. "I wish I wasn't superstitious," said a well known young man. "I'd have it taken off." "Have what taken off?" "Why, this great big mole on my nose." "What are you afraid of about it - bleeding to death?" "No, no; it's just bad luck to have a mole taken off. It's worse than having a black cat across your path or even to have a hooting owl light on the roof." "I don't know why it is bad luck, but my black mammy used to say, 'Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try to take dat mole off'n your nose." "'What'll happen, Aunt Sarah, if I do?' I used to ask her. "'I dunno, chase. Some folks say as the place won't nebber get well, and same say as two moll come back. Don't nebber pester what the Lord has gin yo', or he mought make it wo'se.'

Just before the Franco-German war a traveling quack in France employed as his clown, after the fashion of the day, a man named Tore, who testified to the excellence of his master's cure for indigestion by swallowing corks and pebbles. After leaving the quack he enlisted and in the presence of Dr. Lorentz tore open a live cat, sucked its blood and deleoured it. He also ate in the same way living snakes, grinding their heads between his teeth. During the war he conveyed secret in- formation for the French army by swallowing a small box with a writ- ten paper inside it, but he was at last detected by the Prussians and punish- ed as a spy. Danger In Damp Paper. Most of the paper now 'used is made from wood and other vegetable fibers which are chemically not very differ- ent from the material of which a hay- rick is composed.

The Sins of Nutrition. To overload the stomach with food le not less unhealthy than to indulge it with beverages. The more nutritious the food the more hazardous are the consequences when excess is habitual. Of all the sins of nutrition, the immod- erate use of meat is certainly the most grievous. It gives to the body in a form that is favorable for easy as- similation the albumen that is abso- lutely necessary to life, and hence the earliest effect of its excessive use must be to surcharge the body with nutri- ents. The chief point here is the critical examination of what is called hunger. Many persons believe that any and ev- ery sensation of hunger must be satis- fied immediately, but this is a great mistake. An equally great if not worse mistake is the opinion that one must eat until a sense of satiety arises. Excessive nutrition injures the mental capabilities also. Of the particular con- sequences of excessive nutrition, such as hypochondria (tine very name of .which refers the reader to the region of the abdomen) and the gout, it is hard- ly- necessary to speak.-Blatter Fur V of k sgesu n d h ei tspflege.

The Japan Plum. The loquat, or Japan plum, some times erroneously called "medlar," be- longs to the family rosacme. Its botan- lcal name is Eriobotrya japonica. The Cyclopedia of American Horticulture says of it: "The loquat is native to China and Japan, but is much planted in the gulf states and westward. It blooms from August until the approach of winter and ripens its clustered fruit in very early spring. It is a profuse bearer in congenial climates. It may be grown from seed. The fruit is often seen in northern markets." - The Bowery Beats the World.

Thing' That Our Forefathers We Able to Do That We Now Flied We Nigh Impossible — Cement of t Greeks and Romans. re 11 How a Gallant Irish Regiment Too be an Atter Battle Scolding. The leading regiment of our column was the Fifty-third, commanded that el- day by Major Payn, afterward Genera st Sir William Payu, K. C. B., a very fine he regiment, who, being mostly Irishmen ed- were eager to meet their enemy. Mean - rs while I received orders to cross the rev gs er by a ford and get round the enemy' e right flank, and I had gone for the 1 purpose and was crossing about a quar- ter of a mile lower down, when sud- denly I heard loud cheering and heavy musketry fire, and then I saw our troops gallantly advancing across the bridge to the assault. It turned out to be the Fifty-third, who, tired of the delay under fire and, it was whispered, hearing that S! Colin had gent for his pet highlander to take the bridge, took their bits be- tween their teeth and without any further orders determined to rush the bridge themselves, which they accord- ingly did, and with great success. The enemy, once forced out of their posi- tion, showed but a poor, desultory tight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy prey to the cavalry, who, having cross- ed, some by the bridge and others, in- cluding myself, by the ford, fell on them and pursued them with such suc- cess that we captured every gun they had. The Fifty-third were well pleased with themselves and the result of the fight they had so suddenly initiated, but we heard that Sir Colin was great- ly annoyed with them and after the ac- tion rated them soundly for their In- subordination. But little did these wild Irishmen care. They had bad their fight, and a real good one, so far as they were concerned, and as Sir Colin concluded his speech of rebuke they gave him three cheers, and giving three cheers more for General Mans- field, Sir Colin's chief of staff, who bad formerly commanded their regi- ment, they quite upset the chief's equa- nimity, but at the same time cleared away his wrath.—"Old Memories."

But despite the fact th she average modern man knows mo 'than did the learned men of long ag there are mysteries of knowledge an science which our most advanced se entists cannot solve. Thousands of years ago, for instanc the Egyptians used to embalm th bodies of their dead kings and nobilit so perfectly that the bodies are in wo derful preservation today, as may b seen at the British museum. Clever a we are in this age, we cannot do th tame. The valuable secret is lost an modern science cannot recover the los knowledge. We can, of course, and w do • embalm bodies, but only for tem porary preservation and, comparative) speaking, in a most unsatisfactory man ner. Bodies which are embalmed now adays will not be presyrved for mor than a few days at most. Very man of the bodies the Egyptians embalmed before the birth of Christ are still so perfect that the lines of their faces are still as clearly marked as when the were first embalmed. Sheffield turns out the finest, hardes and most perfect steel the world pro- duces, but even Sheffield cannot pro- duce a sword blade to compare with thooe the Saracens made and used hun dreds of years ago, and the Saracens never possessed the machinery we have or had the advantage of knowing so much about metals as we are sup- posed to know. A huge fortune awaits the man who discovers the secret which enabled 'the Saracens to make sword blades so keen and hard that they could cut in two most of the swords used today. There are a dozen different methods of making artificial diamonds, but none of the stones produced by these meth- ods can compare with those made of French paste, the secret of which is -�•l.,ost. So perfect were paste dia- mo1 cis that it was difficult for even a person with expert knowledge of dia- monds to tell that they were artificial- ly produced, whereas most of the mod- ern artificial diamonds can easily be detected, and their durability is noth- ing like so great as the old paste dia- monds. Probably not one out of every ten thousand buildings standing in all parts of the world, and built by mod- ern masons, will still be standing 500 years hence. We do not, know how to put stones and bricks together as the ancients did, and consequently the buildings we raise nowadays are really mere temporary structures and will be in ruins when the ancient buildings of Greece and Italy, which were built thousands of years ago, are in as good condition as they are now. The secret is not in the bricks or the stone, but in the cement and mortar, neither of which essentials can we make as the ancients made them. In modern buildings the cement and mortar are the weakest points; in buildings which the Romans and Greeks raised thousands of years ago the cement and mortar are the stron- gest points and hold good while the very stones they bind together crumble away with age. We cannot, with all our science, make such cement and mortar, and therefore we cannot build such buildings as the ancients raised. Chemistry, one might imagine, is the science which bas, perhaps, made the greatest strides. Yet modern chem- ists cannot compound- such dyes as were commonly used when the great nations of today were still unborn. Now and again it happens that search- ers after antiquities come across frag- ments of fabrics which were dyed thousands of years ago, and they are astonished by the wonderful richness of the colors of the cloths, which, de- spite their age,®are brighter and purer than anything we can produce. Modern artists buy their colors ready made and spend large sums on pig- ments with which to color their can- vases. The pictures of modern artists will be colorless when many of the works of ancient masters are as bright as they are today. Just as the secret of dyeing has been lost, so bas the secret of .preserving the colors of artists' paints. Yet the secret was known to every ancient artist, for tbey all mixed their own colors. How to make durable ink is another great secret we have lost. Look at any letter five or ten years old and you will probably notice that the writing has faded to a brown color and is very in- distinct. Go to any big museum and you will find ancient MSS., the writing of which is as black and distinct as if the MSS. were written the day before yesterday. The secret of glass blowing and tint- ing is not yet entirely lost. There are- still re still a few men who can produce glass work equal to the things of this kind which the ancients turned out hun- dreds of years ago. But the average glass manufacturer cannot produce anything that could at all compare with some of the commoner articles the Egyptians, and later, the founders of Venice, manufactured, and those LINCOLN'S LOGIC. How Old Ab Learned to Telt When a Thing Is Proved. A man who heard Abraham Lincoln speak in Norwich, Conn., some time before be was nominated for president, was greatly impressed by the closely knit logic of the speech. Meeting him next day on a train be asked him how he acquired his wonderful logical pow- ers and such acuSness in analysis. Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me. When I was a young man, I went Into an office to study law. I saw that a lawyer's business is largely to prove things. I said to myself, 'Lincoln, when is a thing proved?' That was a poser. What constitutes proof? Not evidence; that was not the point. There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof? I groaned over the question, and finally said to myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell.' Then I thought what use is it for me to be in a law office if I can't tell when a thing is proved? "So I gave it up and went back home. Soon after I returned to the old log cabin I fell in with a copy of Euclid. I had not the slightest notion of what Euclid was, and I thought I would find out. I therefore began at the beginning, and before spring I had gone through the old Euclid's geometry and could demonstrate every proposi- tion in the book. Then in the spring, when I had got through with it, I said to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know when a thing is proved?' and I an- swered, `Yes, sir, I do. Then you may go back to the law shop;' and I went." —Exchange. What to Read. Read the good old books that have lived and held their own by the vital- ity of matter and style that makes them standards. Don't read a lot of new books about the Bible. Read the Bible, and then you will understand what you may afterward read about the Bible. Read Shakespeare, not con- troversies on Shakespeare; read Scott and Thackeray and Dickens and George Eliot. Do not be content with a short history of literature that tells you their best works and makes a few discon- nected extracts and tells you their standing and what you should think of them. Read intelligently and with Interest, and every book you read will guide you to the next that la good for you personally far better than a strange mentor can do, who is often full of theories and prejudices or perhaps has got up a course of study as a "pot boil- er" and has no real love of his subject.

There are 28 pounds of blood in th body of an average grown up person and at each pulsation the heart move 10 pounds. While cyclones and tornadoes are dif ferent phenomena, the former ap to give rise to the latter. Tornad almost always break out, if at all, o the southeasterly outskirts of a cyclone A period of 5 seconds between a flea of lightning and thunder means the the flash is a mile distant from the ob server. Thunder has never been hes over 15 miles from the flash, thong artillery has been heard 120 miles. Sir Robert Ball asserted that ever 100 years the sun loses 5 miles of it diameter. To allay anxiety, however he mentioned that the diameter of th sun is 860,000 miles and that 40, years hence the diameter would stil be 858,000 miles. When a Man Caa See 200 Miles. About 200 miles in every direction 1 the distance a man can see when stand ing, on a clear day, on the peak of th highest mountain—say, at a height o 26,688 feet, or a little over five mile above the level of the sea. An observe must be at a height of 6,607 feet abov sea level to see objects at a distance o 100 miles. The distance in miles a which an object upon the surface o the earth is visible is equal to the square root of one and a half times the height of the observer in feet above the sea level. Some allowance has to be made for the effect of atmospheric refraction, but as the refraction varies at differ- ent heights and Is affected by the vari- ous states of the weather no precisely accurate figures for general purposes can be given. Probably one -fourteenth to one-tenth of the distance given by the formula would have to be deducted, owing to the refraction of the atmos- phere. Ou.ral Lee's Answer. After the surrender of Appomattox, General Wise came riding down the road furiously to where General Lee and his staff were grouped. He was splashed with mud from head to heels, and there were great splotches of mud dried and caked upon his face. Ad- dressing General Lee, he asked in a theatrical voice, "Is it true, General Lee, that you have surrendered?' "Yes, General Wise, it is true." "I wish, then, to ask you one ques- tion, What is going to become of my brigade, General Lee, and what is go- ing to become of me?" General Lee looked at the splashed warrior for a full minute and then said calmly and in a Iow tone, "Gen- eral Wise, go and wash your face" Court Legis Lawyer—My client, your honor, has confessed that he committed the bur- glary. tu glary.

Flies multiply at a P Yprodigious rate. Given a temperature sufficiently high to hatch eggs, their numbers are onlyAtter limited by the amount of food avail- able for them. Lfnnmeus is credited with saying that three meat files, by reason of their rapid multiplication, would consume a dead horse quicker than weed a lion, and the fact that certain dlptera having some outward semblance to the honeybee lay their eggs ill the dead carcasses of animals probably led Samson and Virgil to make erroneous statements with re- gard to the genesis of honey and the manufacture of bees. The breeding of "gentles" for ground bait Is an Indus- try the practices of which could prob- ably give much information as to the nicety of choice exercised by flies in selecting material for feeding and egg laying. According to Packard, the house fly makes selection of horse dung by preference for ovipositing, and as each female lays about 120 eggs and the cycle of changes from egg to fly is completed In less than three weeks it seems probable that n female fly might have some 25,OW,000 descendants in the course of a hot summer. Other va- rieties of files multiply, I believe, still more rapidly.Went As flies multiply upon and in organic refuse of every kind, it Is obvious that the sooner such refuse is placed where it cannot serve for the breeding and hatching of flies the more likely is the plague of flies to be lessened. The most commonly available method for the bestowal of organic refuse is bur- MI. The egg laying of flies in dead carcasses commences at the very in- stant of death or even before death in the case of enfeebled animals.—Lancet. tore than ofa thousandtim,h yeths days Shed was time, usedse the days gc There was a man I to know— Bay seem strange, but you'll ace it 1 tell y• ou the reason ehy— tel alert of us ha eyt ado me as yoc Mixed in the trouble and worry and Liirrealintt thed hopes ehr things Kneaded the mud with dhis sweat an Humanest mass that ever you saw.

An English paper gives what it terms "thirteen mistakes of life:" It is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly. To measure the enjoyment of others our own. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. \ To look for judgment and experience in youth. To endeavor to meld all dispositions alike. To look for perfection in our own ac- tions. To worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied. Not to yield in immaterial matters. Not to alleviate all that needs allevia- tion as far as lies in our power. Not to make allowances for the inflr- rattles of others. To consider everything impossible that we cannot perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To expect to be able to understand everything. A Youthful Promoter. A horseman had an amusing expert- ence near the speedway a few days ago. He called to an idle newsboy to bis horse while be made a call on a client On leaving the house he was surprised to see another boy in charge of the horse. So he asked: this? You are not the boy I left left my horse with."hunt "No, sir. I fist spekilated and bought him of the other boy for 10 cents. He said as howyou were onlyworth s nickel, and 1 says you were good for a quarter. See?' The boy got the quarter and went around the corner, where the first boy was waiting under an open window in the home of the horseman's friend. "That's the way ter work the swells," said the young speculator to his COM- panion. "Ef you had staid, he woulder coughed up a dime. The bluff made him ershamed to hand over less than the two bits. You gets 12 cents, and I keep the extry cent for permotln dis scheme. See?"—New York Times. The Evolution of warships. A man need not be a scholar to be an inventor. One of the most success- ful aeronauts of old times who had mad* a study of aerial currents and the management of balloons once delivered an address in which he referred to "the anaconda" as "the largest bird that ever flew," and he also remarked that "the mental faculties of a man's mind is so constructed as to bring things down to a pin's point." He also referred to the currents of air as stretebums, meaning strata, and yet he was one of the foremost balloonists of his time. Ile was an inventor also of many useful things and was the first man In the country to suggest an ironclad man-of-war with slanting sides. He tutit a miniature vessel on this plan of sheet iron, placing 1t in the water and fired musket balls at it at short range. Every ball glanced off. The Merrimac was built on a similar plan, from that humble beginning the evolution or revolution in naval archl- tecture took its start.—Baltimore Sun. How to Treat a Cook. "Into no department in life," says Yuan Mei, a Chinese authority on cooking, "should indifference be allow- ed to creep; into none less than into the domain of cookery. Cooks are but mean fellows, and if a day is passed without either rewarding or punishing them that day is surely marked by negll- gence or carelessness on their part. If badly cooked food is swallowed in si- fence, such neglect will speedily be- come a habit Still, mere rewards and punishments are of no use. If a dish is good, attention should be called to the why and the wherefore. If bad, an ef- fort should be made to discover the cause of the failure."and Tentative lettermen A poor Scotchwoman lay her husband sat by her beds a time the wife took her hand and said: "John, we're goin to part been a gude wife to ye, haven John thought a moment.

Retlary. A retiary was the name of a Roman gladiator armed in a peculiar way. He was furnished with a trident and net, with no more covering than a short tu- nic, and with these implements he en- deavored to entangle and dispatch his adversary, who was called a secutor (from sequl, to follow) and was armed with a helmet, a shield and a sword. The name of the flrat is pronounced as If spelled re-shi-a-ry, the accent on the first syllable. Contagion In School.. Any one who has worked in school- rooms must have been Impressed with the fact that the children come into frequent and close personal contact, such as putting their fees together, blowing into each other's faces, exam- fining slates and papers and sitting close together. Common means of contagion are these: Kissing, exchanging handker- chiefs, ribbon, chewing gum, whistles, pencils, which are almost always, con- sciously or unconsciously, carried to the mouths. Coins are also treated in the same way. Drinking cups, by their common use, often spread diseases. Schoolbooks are ready carriers of con- tagion. Then, also, may be mentioned the dangers from overcrowding the schoolrooms, which leads to the breath- !ng of impure air and the dissemina- tion of germs. Wraps which are not absolutely needed often hang where they dry and are aired In the school- room. The foundation for many cases of pulmonary diseases and chronic in- validiam can sometimes be traced to a badly ventilated schoolroom.—Mother- ham' A Tall smoke Column. During the burning of the Standard Oil company's tanks at Bayonne, N. J., in July, 1900, an immense column of smoke, shaped at the top like an um- brella, rose into the air, where very lit- tie wind was stirring, to an elevation, measured by triangulation, of 13,411 feet, or more than two miles and a half. Above the column white clouds formed in an otherwise cloudless sky and re- mained visible for two days, the fire continuing to burn and the smoke to rise. After the explosion of an oil tank flames shot up to a height of 3,000 feet, and the heat radiated from them was felt at a distance of a mile and three-quarters, where it was more no- ticeable than close to the fire.—Youth's Companion.

The noise which we call bark- ing is found only among those that are domesticated. Columbus found that to be the case with the dogs he first brought to America and left at large, for on his return he tells us that they had lost their propensity to bark. Sci- entitle men say that barking is really an effort on the part of the dog to speak. Remorse. Law Notes tells of a trial in which the following remorseful letter appear ed in evidence: Yr.

The Journal was opposed to the board of control law because the chief result would be to centralize in the large cities all the business growing out of the institutions of the state. The theory in distrihuting these insti- tutions was to recognize the various sections of the state, and to help de- velop all portions of it. The institu- tions were distributed throughout the state, the twin cities of course get- ting more than their share on account of their selfish propensities. The result has been that while the pro- ducers of the state have been support- ing these institutions by taxation they have found in them a limited market for such products as they consumed. The territory tributary to each one of these institutions profited to a limited extent by its presence. Gov. Van Sant espoused the board of control idea, and the committee appointed by him to investigate it reported favor- ably upon it. It was forced through the legislature, and the investigating committee was appointed as the first board of control. The twin cities helped to push through the law which was to rob the towns where these institutions were located of the local benefits, but took particular care to see that the institutions in the twin cities -.-the university and the sol- diers' home -were not included in the law. The trade of those two institu- tions•naturally- felltothe twin cities, so it was not necessary to legislate that it would. -Fergus Falls .To'14rnal. Nintnger Items.

The ormolu clock on the mantelpiece ticked monotonously. The little, regu- lar sound began to run as a tune in her brain; she even found that her fingers mechanically, drummed the same air upon her knee. It was some inane tune of the hour—something that every or- gan played, every street boy whistled— and its rhythm fitted in excellently !with the ticking of the clock, and both jangled in her brain with irritating per- sistence. Every detail of the room had stamp- ed itself upon her mind during these minutes she had sat there—minutes, was it, or hours, since the great doctor tad said to her in a voice that struck -er as strangely gentle: "Will you kindly wait in the waiting room, Mrs. Ainslie. while Dr. Bryant and 1 talk over matters?" It might be minutes since she came In here, she thought idly, or, again, it might be hours. • In any case, she had sat there so long that every detail of the room would be fixed In her recollec- tion until her dying day. And that day, at any rate, was a very, very long way off. She glanced almost involuntarily at the narrow glass set into the side- board, and, seeing the reflection of her own face—such a young face—she smiled faintly. _ She had attracted many curious and admiring glances from the other men and women who waited in the big, gloomy room. One little, shabbily dress- ed woman who sat in the corner watch- ed her almost enviously. The shabby woman's observant eyes noted the oth- er's fair loveliness, her exquisite dress, the atmosphere of ease and luxury and comfort that surrounded her—the at- ' n3osphere of one who has always been cared for and sheltered, upon whom no rough winds have ever blown—and the shabby woman wondered what had brought this pretty, beautifully dress- ed little person into the doctor's wait- ing room. The thought flashed through her mind that it was probably some fancied ailment for which she had come. It was impossible to associate the idea of sickness or pain with that lovely face, those smart garments. The clock ticked on. The inane tune that had set itself to the ticking clanged on as well in the brain of the little lady by the table. - She looked round the room again. She wondered faintly why the walls were papered with such heavy red paper and why the person who selected the cur- tains had chosen that particularly dull shade of crimson. It would have been more cheerful for the waiting victims if the room had -been less 'Uncompro- misingly dreary. The pictures hang- ing upon the red paper were good in themselves, but something about their big, heavy frames oppressed her. A sudden longing seized her for her own bright, nretty -boudoir which was all light and color. How much longer, she wondered, did , these doctors intend to keep her in this dreary room while they discussed her case? Her case! It was so funny to think that they could talk about her case. Why, she had always been the incarnation of health. Everybody had always said she was so strong and well. It was too ridiculous that she should be sit- ting In a doctor's waiting room, and she herself would naturally never have dreamed of consulting the great sur- geon at all if her own doctor's face had not grown so absurdly gra.ve when she had gone to him yesterday- about that little lump which 'annoyed her. Personally she thought he had made rather an unnecessary fuss. In fact, she had told Dr. Bryant as ,much to his face—had, indeed, asked him why he could not simply cut the thing away then and there and have done with it. "I don't- in the least mind the tiny scar that a little thing like that will leave," she had said to him, and her own laughing words recurred to her now as her eyes wandered once more to the clock. Twenty minutes! How could it possibly take those two doctors 20 minutes to discuss her sim- ple case? Why, she had considered it so simple a matter that she had not even told her husband about it nor that she was to come and see Sir James this morning! Jack was always in such an agony if her Ilttle finger ached that she had refrained from mentioning the lump to him at all, and he knew nothing of her visit to Dr. Bryant yesterday, much • less about the consultation today. Why, her dear, loving, fussy old Jack, the dearest husband in the world, would think she was going to die at the very least if he knew that she, was sitting In Sir James Cochrane's room waiting for the verdict! - "Waiting for the verdict!" Something in the words framed by her own mind sent a quick little shiver through her for which she could not ac- count, and a vision rose before her of a prisoner waiting at the bar and won- ilering—wondering perhaps whether the judge would presently put on the black cap or no. Ah, well, it must be terri- ble to be in such a position! She was only waiting—waiting for what? A sudden recollection crossed her mind of the great doctor's quiet, re- strained voice that had held in it some- thing which ithe had at the moment not quite understood. It fiaahed upon her now all at once that it was pity. But why pity? Her heart gave a frightened leap. She picked up an illustrated paper from the table before her and began hurriedly turning the pages, seeing ab- solutely nothing. "And his face looked so kind and so—so—sorry." Her thoughts ran on till her heart quicken- ed its beat again. "It's nonsense to be nervous," she told herself. "Sitting here in this silent room full of all these waiting people makes me feel nervous but she found herself spelling each word in turn, and the sense of the phrases did not penetrate into her brain. Nobody can take in the meaning of a story, she thought, when people whis- per, andlier glance fell upon a stout widow who sat opposite, whispering volubly in the ear of a girl beSide her. The little lady watched the widow's head bob up and down as her words became more and more emphatic. She noticed how dusty the crape was upon her veil, "and that's the worst of crape," she said to herself, "the least thing makes It look shabbby. I aWays `ell Jack I won't wear crape when I'm a widow!" A smile flickered over her face, and the shabby woman in the corner, watching her, thought enviously how happy she must be to smile like that at nothing. The little lady's eyes turned again to the clock. Half an hour now! Half an hour for two clever doctors to discuss one tiny lump which looked like almost nothing! How she and Jack would laugh presently over the slow- ness of these medical men! But if they kept her much longer she would be late for lunch, and then Jack would be in a hurry and wonder what had become of her. Oh, why were they not quicker? Time dragged woefully. There was some- thing- aggravating about that tiresome clock on the mantelpiece, with its per- sistent voice, and the pair of candle- sticks exactly alike that flanked it, and the two vases that were such a precise match annoyed her. A wild desire seiz- ed her to set them all crooked! Then she was tired of looking at that hideous silver erection on the side- board. She was certain it must be a testimoniaL And what an ugly one to be saddled with for the rest of one's natural life! She remembered with what dismay she and Jack had received some ghastly odd family plate from a rich uncle and how thankfully they had relegated it to a little used room, Jack saying laughingly that it would come in as heirloom for . their grandchil- dren. A vision of herself as a white haired old lady made her smile again. She always intended to grow old gracefully —when the time for growing old canle! But it was a very, very long way off, nd she and Jack had only been mar- led six short months. They bad years nd years of sunny r life in front of them efore they— The door opened.

"Will you have a cab walled for me, Dr. Bryant? I should like to go straight —home." She walked frons the great man's room with head erect and unfaltering steps, and, watching her, he said softly to himself: "It is the women who go up to the cannon's mouth without turn- ing a hair.

It is not, of course, possible to seize hold of the hands of a clock and push them backward or forward a tenth or a twentieth part of a second, which is about tbe limit of error that is allowed at the Greenwich observatory, so an- other meciod is devised. Near the pen- dulum a magnet Is fixed. If it Is -tonna that the pendulum is going either too fast or too slow, a current of electricity Is switched on, and the little magnet begins to pull at the metal as it swings to and fro.

'The commonest of all our silver coins is tbe 25 cent piece. In the words 'quarter dollarare 13 letters. Thirteen letters compose E Pluribus Unum. In the tail of the eagle are 13 feathers and In the shield are 13 lines.

A Chinese philosopher says there is an ounce of wisdom at the root of every gray hair. iHinting For More. "Did you notice, Maria, how Ill na- tured Jones got when he learned 1 had I , bought that diamond brooch for you? Now he'll have to get one for his wife." "I don't like Mr. Jones, and I would Dot care how often you made hint ill The - president was , entertained as a guest at the house of a lady in the vil- lage, and, although he tried to be polite, the state of vexation which he was in affected him visibly. His hostess, at the supper table, was much alarmed to see the general swal- lowing with great rapidity a cup of al- most boiling hot -tea. "Wait—wait, general?' exclaimed the lady; "let me give you some cold wa- ter." "No. thank you, ma'ain," said the general, continuing to drink. "But 1 theft see how you can drink that boiling hot tea without scalding yourself." "No wonder you can't, ma'am," said Jackson. "I am scalding myself." "But, sir, why do you"— "Good gracious, ma'am!" e7cclaimed the general, "don't you see that I want to scald myself?" The lady refrained from making any further suggestions as to her distin- guished guest's comfort. First Silver Weddlialt. Aceording to a historian, this is the way the ilrst silver wedding came about. It was in the time of Hugnes Caput. Two of his most faithful serv- ants, a man and a woman, had grown gray in his employ. How could he re- ward them? Calling the woman, he said: "Your service is great, greater than the man's, whose service -is great enough, for the woman alwayst finds work harder than a man, and therefore I will give you a reward. At your age I know of none better than a dowry and a husband. The dowry is here. This farm from this time forth belongs to you. If this man who has worked with you for five and twenty years is willing to marry you, then the husband is ready." "Your majesty," said the old peasant, "how is It possible that we should mar- ry, having already silver hairs?" "Then it shall be a silver wedding." And the king gave the couple silver enough to keep them in plenty. Such was the origin of the silver wedding, a custom which, spreading all through France, subsequently became known to the world. Points on a Lobster. A lobster Is found In the water, but not always—In fact, some of the most successful lobsters that ever lobstered were born and raised on dry land. One can usually tell a lobster by its actions. For instance, if a young man enters a crowded drawing room and walks all over the feet of the assem- bled guests without their consent or approval the young man at once be- comes a lobster. The fathers of lobsters usually have money. In fact, it Is difficult to be real stand up and fall down lobster unless *lie lobster's father has money. • It Is an odd fact that many girls seem to admire lobsters. It would Seem that a girl ought to know better, but she doesn't until she marries 4 lobster. Then she tumbles. Lobsters have no brains. If you don't believe it, split a lobster's head open with au ax if you don't care any- thing about the rm. This world woul0 be a much more desirable abiding place if there were no lobsters iu it.—Ohlo State Journal. Hodge. the Single Minded.

Mrs. Astor, the head of the family, has a passion for gorgeous rings and Ms always been known to have the finest collection of any woman In New York society. She has always had her hands fairly ablaze with them, but, ac- cording to The New Idea Woman's Siagazine, has lately adopted a fad which, as Mrs. Astor has started it, will undoubtedly become the "fad of the hour." She wears no rings on her right hand. She wears rings on every linger of her left hand and rarely if ever does she wear a mixture of stones. One day all her rings will be of rubies and dia.mouds, the next day they will be of turquoises and diamonds, the fol- lowing day emeralds and diamonds will be worn, and so on through the list of precious stones. A Double Runaway. "They have a new coachman St the Rippenbangers." "What's the matter with the old one?" "He let the horses run away." "Did they run far?" "Clear out into the suburbs."

When General Grant was in China, says a contributor to Short Stories, he journeyed by water from Tien-tsin to ?eking. One morning there was no wind, and the ecnilifin,. NVillkifig along the river bank, pUlled the houseboat. They Made little progress, and finally the general called his Chinese Servant and said: "Boy, why for these- coolies no can Walkee more fast?" "Must talkee lowder," the boy re- plied. The general, thinking the boy's mean- ing was that he should speak in a tone the coolies could overhear, raised his Voice and repeated: "Why for these coolies no can walkee More fast?" To which the boy imperturbably an- swered as before, "Must talkee low - der." Several times this dialogue was re- Peated, and General .Grant did talkee louder, until he fairly shouted. At last the boy slightly varied his response: "No 'casion speak so high," e said. "More better talkee lowder." Our hero was just beginningsto feel like Alice In Wonderland when a ray off` light seemed to flash across the mind of the boy, and he rushed to the end of the boat, seized the icaptain's arm and,• dragging him to General Grant, exclaimed: "This man belong [61dg:a English for 'is'j lowder; just now can talkee General Grant saw the joke.

Pulled Lincoln's Bair, While Mr. Lincoln was living in Springfield a judge of the city, who was one of the leading and most in- fluential citizens of the place, had oc- casion to call upon him. Mr. Lincoln was not everparticular in his matter of dress and was also careless in his man- ners. The judge was ushered into the parlor, where he found Mr. Lincoln sprawled out across a couple of chairs, reclining at his ease. The judge was asked to be seated and, without chang- ing his position in the least, Mr. Lin- coln entered into conversation with his visitor. While the two men were talking Mrs. Lincoln entered the room. She was of course greatly embarrassed at Mr. Lincoln's offhand Manner of entertain- ing his caller, and, stepping up behind her husband, she grasped hint by the hair and twitched his head a -bout, at the same time looking at him reprov- ingly. Mr. Lincoln apparently did not notice the rebuke. He simply looked up at his wife, then across. to the judge and. without rising, said: "Little Mary, allow me to introduce Au to my friend, JudgriSo-and-so." It will be remembered that Mrs. Lin- coln's maideu name was Mary Todd and that she was very short in stature. —Leslie's Monthly.

A DREARY EXISTENCE THE • LONELINESS OF THE ENGLISH LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS. At the Bishop Station the Sentinel That Lights the Waves Lives In Al- most Utter Isolation — A Service With Few Enticing Features. • During the storms that rage intermlt- teutly around the English coast in win- ter the landsmau's mind turns in sym- pathy toward those who in ship or life- boat are fighting the waves for dear life. But how often does he give one thought to the men who immure them- selves in the lighthouses that stud the coast? • I would rather spend my life in a penal settlement than be a lighthouse keeper," declared a man to the writer after a visit to the Bishop lighthouse, off the Cornish coast. "A convict does see a little of the world he lives in, but a lighthouse keeper sees nothing but a dreary expanse of water. I am not sur- prised that many of them should lose their mental balance." The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse did not overcolor the picture. It was only the other" day that one read of the Longships lighthouse, also off the coast of Cornwall, having been completely isolated for many weeks in consequence of fearful storms. The keepers had been reduced to stoking coffee, hops and tea leaves, though, fortunately, they had not wanted for food. The keepers of the famous Eddystone lighthouse not infrequently find them- selves in a similar predicament. In a gale the waves that buffet themselves against this wonderful monument to the engineering skill of the country are of such stupendous magnitude that they rise to a height of 200 feet and sweep right over the lantern. To those cooped up inside the sound of these waves is like that of a battery of guns at close quarters. "At such times tiie house shakes like a tree with a matt on the top of it," was the graphic de- scription of one who spent many years of his life there. The new Eddystone is the roomiest and most comfortable of all our rock lighthouses. A sectional view of it shows the various compartments, com- mencing at the bottom with the water tank: then the entrance, the two oil receptacles, the storeroom, the crane, the living apartment, iilie low light, the bedroom and the service room in the order -named. Formerly only two keep's—en were employed in the light- houk. but a grim incident resulted in then• number being increased. Oue of the two men died. So fierce ran the seas that the remaining keeper could not get the body of his late comrade to the shore. For a month the tempestu- ous weather continued, and for a month the surviving keeper lived alone with the body as his only companion. Ile was afraid to cast it into the waves, for be might be accused of mur- der. Keepers of rock lighthouses do not last long. The incessant pounding of the waves against the building, the loneliness, the want of fresh air and exercise reduce the men to a state of nervousness that is sometimes pitiful to behold. They require a fortnight's leave every six weeks, but this liberal allowance does little to improve their physical state. A medical man whose duty it is to pay periodical visits to one of these lighthouses confesses that there is no remedy .for the ills peculiar to the keepers except retirement. The utter isolation of the silent sen- tinels of our coast is well illustrated by the case of the BIshop lighthouse afore- mentioned, which stands right out in the Atlantic. Not once in a year is it calm enough for the superintendent to land his stores at the lighthouse steps. They have to be hauled up by means of a windlass from abose. A visitor bold enough to visit the place is "ad- mitted" in a similar way. He places ene fot in a noose at the end of a rope, which is thrown down to his boat, and, gripping the rope firmly above his head, he is drawn up to the "see off," as the Plinth around the lighthouse is called. Thence he climbs up a per- pendicular ladder to the door of the house. Superstition adds a terror to the life of the men in this lighthouse, for the first structure was washed away bodily, and the keepers believe that the rock is haunted. A fear of a different kind keeps the men of Muckle Flugga lighthouse, 'the most northeii6 point of Scotland, on the tenterhooks of a terri- ble suspense. On three occasions the huge black rock on which the light- house stands has been shaken by an earthquake. There is something comical, though .haracteristic of the stiff necked Scot, in a story which comes from a neigh- boring lighthouse which is the charge of two families. They live on a desert island. From yerr end to year end they never see a visitor except the man who brings their stores. Eighteen months ago the heads of the two fami- lies quarreled, and ever since they have ceased to speak. At the shore lighthouse of Ushinish the keeper's family has to travel 40 miles to `iltirk." It is no reflection on their piety to add that they are not regular attendants. A lighthouse keeper receives a maxi- mum wa,ge of £75 a year, out of which he has to supply his own rations. These consist of such unappetizing edibles as tinned beef and hard biscuits, usually washed down with weak tea and con- densed milk. No intoxicating liquors are allowed.—London Mail. Politeness is like an air cushion— there may be nothing in it, but it eases many a bard jolt.—Chicago News. CONFECTIONS FROM GRAIN. Wheat and Malt Used In the Manu- facture of Candy. A manufacturing plant in New Jer- sey, formerly used as a manilla paper mill, is now operated by a corporation engaged in the unique industry of mak- ing confections from wheat and malt, about the last materials in the world one would expect to find in candy. In the earlier stages of the process the grain is fanned, ground and mixed in proper proportions. Then it is cook- ed to a mash, from which a thin sirup is squeezed by hydraulic presses and conducted to a great iron evaporator. Thence the sirup is carried in pipes to a vacuum pan. Here it is vigorously stirred and further evaporated. The thickened sirup is drawn off into huge. shallow tin pans, where It is cooled and hardened. Plain or flavored with peppermint, the mass is a rich golden brown In color. Combined with choco- late it is dark as the familiar caramel in the candy shops. When a batch of goods Is needed for the market, the stock in the pans is broken into pieces and put into a boiler surrounded by n steam jacket. It is reduced by heat fo the consistency of taffy at an old fashioned candy pull. Skilled workmen shape the mass into long strips that lle like golden snakes on a board table. They are fed to a cutting machine, a noisy little monster with an insatiable appetite for sweets. You could almost cover the machine with a hat, yet it turns out malt creamlets nearly as fast as a Maxim gun hurls a storm of bul- lets. The boys who carry the cream - lets from the machine to the tables where they are wrapped have little time for meditation. Chautauqua Her- ald. EDITOR STOREY'S NOTION. Theory on Which He Remitted a Fine and Raised a Salary. "I was slashing copy on old Storey's Chicago Times many years ago," said one of the guests at a reunion dinner. "«'e had a correspondent in an Illinois town who simply would not schedule his matter, but as he generally sent good stuff, we let him run on, slashing his stuff to suit the exigencies of the night. Besides, his stuff always sug- gested good headlines, and that was one of Storey's hobbies. "On one occasion the correspondent sent up about 700 words which went into 100, with nothing over. On the 100 words I constructed a headline which was right up to the mark. The next day I was instructed to tell the man who made out the checks for the coun- try correspondents to knock $5 off the correspondent's pay. "When he received his check, he wrote to Mr. Storey saying that under ordinary circumstances he wouldn't kick about the deduction, but in this particular Instance he did because the fool headline over the item made by a fool telegraph editor had infuriated the man whose name was mentioned in the dispatch and brought on a fight be- tween him and the correspondent, the result of which was that the corre- spondent was fined $5 in the police court. "Mr. Storey was a very just than when you got at him the right way. He instructed the cashier to send the correspondent the amount of the fine and raised my salary because the head- line I wrote had caused a row. That was his way of encouraging a head- line writer."—New York Sun. Cities Without Slums. Berlin has none of the horrible areas which disgrace London and so many other English towns. Even in the poor- est quarters the dwellings are good, the streets well paved, clean and com- paratively wide. It also has no slums in the English sense of the word. Kioto, in Japan, and Sevastopol, in Russia, both boast an absence of slums and paupers.

S. Harwood tells of a queer ex- perience that befell the family in the first year after settling on a farm far removed from the settlements. The winter had been unusually long and severe, and their stock of provi- sions ran low. It was a long distance to the nearest base of supplies, and com- munication with the outside world had been cut off. Indians in the neighbor- hood one night broke into the granary where the wheat was stored and stole a quantity. In doing this a large amount of broken glass became (nixed !with the wheat which the Indians left, so for many days, amid much merry story telling and many a joke and laugh, in spit* of the serious situation, the family gathered about a large table in their living room and spent the short winter days picking over the wheat, kernel by keel, in order to free it from the pieces of glass. For this wheat stood between them knd starvation, and none of its pre- Icious kernels must be lost. Their stock of flour had long since wasted away, as had most of their food supplies. so they boiled and ate the wheat without grinding. Relief reached them just in time to prevent a sad ending to the ex- 'perience. Arab and the Telephone. We had a party of Arabs along with us and took them all over a great news - Paper office. Everything was wildly astonishing to thein. They had imag- ined that the Koran contained all the knowledge and wisdom of the world. yet here were the telegraph, the tele- phone. the electrotype and the printing press. The place was a veritable en- chanters' castle to them. They would inever have believed in the telephone if I had not called up their hotel and got one of their own party at that end of the wire. The dervish who bad come along was bold as weH as pious. When he heard that his friend five tulles away was talking through the instrument, he made a dash at it. He was greatly ex- cited and yelled in a megaphone voice. He thought we were tricking him, but here was his friend talking Arabic. He rolled his eyes at me in a despairing manner and then began a search for devils, being quite convinced that the phone was an invention of satan.—lu- dependent. Limewater. Limewater has so many uses it is hard to classify. It is good to soften water, to sweeten drains. to keep milk vessels wholesome, to make milk itself sit well upon delicate stomachs, to test air for excess of carbonic acid—if there is too mach carbonic acid present, the clear limewater instantly crusts over— to take out marks left by grease spots which have been removed by stronger alkalis—in fact, for so many things 1t should always be kept on hand. Mixed with either sweet or linseed oil to a creamy consistence, It Is the very best household remedy for burns and scalds. It costs practically no more than the trouble of making. Put a lump of quicklime as big as the two fists in a clean earthen pitcher, cover it six inch- es deep with clean cold water, stir with a wooden spoon and let it stand six hours. Pour off the clear liquid without disturbing the lime, but let It run through double cheesecloth. Put in small bottles and cork tight. In using always pour off half an inch from the top of a bottle that has stood. Unfortunate Deduction. Sergeant Kelly of the Irish bar in the early years of the nineteenth century used to indulge In a picturesque elo- quence, racy of the soil, but unfortu- nately he would sometimes forget the line of argument and would always fall back on the word "therefore," which generally led his mind back to what he had intended saying. Some- times, however, the effort was almost disastrous. One time be had been complimenting the jury, assuring them that they were men of extraordihary intelligence and then branched off into a statement of his case. With a wave of his hand and a smile on his face he proceeded: "This Is so clear a case, gentlemen. that I am convinced you felt It so the very moment I stated it. 1 should pay men of intelligence a poor compliment to dwell on It for a minute. therefore i shall proceed to explain it to you as minutely as possible."—Green Bag.

A Knowledge of Urasving on the Part of Men, Says a %Vomau 'Artist, Would Have the Effect of Enhanc- ing :Masculine Good Looks. "A knowledge of drawing on the part of men would have the effect of increasing their good looks," said a lady teacher of that art recently, "and It would make presentable many a man whose appearance Is not calculat- ed to excite admiration. It sounds an odd combination, drawing and beauty, does it not? Nevertheless it is a fact." To the natural request for an expla- nation she replied: "The first principles of drawing are geometrical Byes and curves. These lines and curves occur in everything. A potter in criticising an ugly shaped Jug will most probably tell you that its 'lines' are bad. Most of those who dab- ble in drawing and gain certificates merely learn• to make these lines and carves without acquiring the slightest knowledge of their effect. "Were is au example. Just take this pencil and draw a face. Oh, anything will do! But be sure to make two straight lines over the eyes for eye- brows. That's it. See how serious that expression Is? "Now rub out those straight lines and in their places make two carves with the ends upward. That face has an ex- pression of intense surprise, hasn't it? If you had made curved eyebrows with the ends dowry in the Hist instance, the difference between the two would have been more striking. "Well, the human face has its 'lines,' and by studying theta our men could improve their appearance. The most elementary expedient is to adapt the mustache and beard to the lines of the faee, and I must here tell you that 'lines' in technical language include both straigh ; and curves. Such an ex- pedient is within the reach of all, and there is no need for me to remind you that the whiskers make a tremendous difference in a man's appearance. "Take a man with an aquiline nose, clear cut features and broad brow, then imagine this individual with a long, drooping mustache; why, it accen- tuates the whole `droop' of the face and spoils it. Such a man should have a small pointed beard and a mustache with ends pointing slightly upward. "The exact opposite is also frequently met with. A man with features that have a distinct upward tendency will wear a mustache with -ends that are turned up and so long that they seem to be thinking of joining the eyebrows. Men with mustaches that display an inclination to grow long ends think that these ends should be permitted to grow and that they must be trained upward. That strikes them as the only proper way. But to suit the lines of tate face those ends should in many eases be cut off, and in others they ought to. be - trained downward. "Whiskers, again, are allowed to grow whether they suit the face or not. Often a fine, vigorous, manly face is contradicted by an insipid little mus- tache worn over a firm, clear cut mouth, the expression of which it does much to alter. It is quite a pity to see such fine lines spoilt in that way. The wearer cultivates the Hirsute append- age merely because it is the fashion for men to have a mustache. You talk about women being slaves to Dame Fashion, but in the matter of your whiskers you men are worse slaves than we are to dress! "Now don't run away with the notion that I advocate general shaving. Some men who are clean shaved ought not to be. The lines of their faces simply de- mand that of which they are depriving their countenance every morning. It requires a strong, very intellectual face to do without beard or mustache. The latter is an absolute necessity for hid- ing the bad lines of some mouths that would if left totally uncovered spoil the whole face. "Women as a rule are more careful of their lines and choose hats and other things to match. Men also study their dress more than the hair on their faces, but a knowledge of drawing would cor- rect many mistakes in hats, collars and other masculine accessories. "In the matter of color we rather pass from the domain of drawing and mere 'lines' and trespass into the realm of painting, but I cannot resist saying that both men and women, especially the former, would be all the better looking if they knew more about the blending of colors, because they would not then choose hues which do not har- monize with their complexions. I have known a man with red hair to wear a red tie because red ties were fashion- able! "We are all going in for art and -the beautiful nowadays, and you men are not handsome as a body. You could make yourselves more handsome by at- tending to such easily managed details as I have pointed out. See that your sons learn drawing."—Pearson's Week- ly. Cottage vheese.

A good deal has been beard of the "Lia Fail," or stone of destiny, which is placed under the seat of the corona- tion chair in Westminster abbey, but few people realize the extreme antiqui- ty of this uninteresting looking, rough gray block. It was brought to Ireland about 1200 B. C. by the Tuatha-de-Da- naans, a mysterious eastern race, who conquered Ireland at that period. No one is quite clear as to their identity, but many savants suppose them to have been Chaldeans, Persians or Phoe- nicians. Those races were certainly highly civilized, even so long ago as the date mentioned. They attached the greatest possible value to the stone and used to crown all their monarchs on it. Three of the Tuatha-de-Danaan queens regnant who sat upon the stone of destiny rejoiced in the curious name of Fodhla, Bamba and Eire, the last a name that is creeping into use again of late after long eclipse. In the sixth century Fergus, king of Scots, an Irishman by descent, borrowed the stone for his coronation at Scone and "froze on to it" when he had it. It never went back to Ireland, and many historians date the commencement of the distressful country's woes from that foss. Edward I of England car- ried off the stone from Scone and placed it in Westminster abbey, where it still remains.—Modern Society. Joined Against His Will. How General Harrison came to join the Republican party against his own free will be once described to a visitor. "It was right after Fremont was nomi- nated," said he, "anti while I was prac- ticing law with Mr. Wallace. We were in our office in an up stairs room where the Indianapolis News building now stands \-hen Mr. Roberts, who used to keep a drug store there, and another man whose name I forget came run- ning in and told us that Fremont was nominated and that they were going to have u ratification meeting right away and that I must come down and ad- dress it. "I said I couldn't think of such a thing; that I bad nothing to say and ivas not prepared. They insisted that I could make a good enough speech without any preparation and that 1 -crust come. I said that I wasn't sure about this Fremont business, anyhow, and refused point blank to go. "They simply grabbed me, lifted me off of lily feet and started away with me. They carried me bodily down stairs, out into the street and, without ever letting my feet touch the ground. took me over to where the meeting was to be held and set me upon a packing box before a crowd of 300 or 400 per- sons. Of course I had to talk then. That was my initiation into the Repub- lican party." The Humor of Phillips Brooks. It does not lessen the dignity of Phil- lips Brooks' memory to learn from his biographer, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge, that he had an abounding sense of humor—humor that crops out in a fund of anecdote. To the person who wondered at the possibility of the, whale's swallowing Jonah he said: "There was no difficul- ty. Jonah was one of the minor proph- ets." Contrasting the ancient church with the modern, he remarked that the ear- ly devout tried to save their, young men from being thrown to the lions. "Now," he added, "we are glad if we can save them from going to the dogs." A clergyman going abroad talked in jest of bringing back a new religiou with him. "You might have some trouble in getting it through the custom house," some one remarked. "No," observed Bishop Brooks, "we may take it for granted that a new re- ligion would have no duties attached." A person, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men calling themselves atheists seemed to lead moral lives. and Brooks promptly disposed of it. "They have to," said he. "They have no God to forgive them if they don't." Novel Chinese Wheelbarrow. Chinamen have more castes even than the East Indians. They say you never find one Chinaman in a low con- dition of life but you will find him em- ploying another Chinaman in a still lower condition. The small Chinese farmer employs a servant, to whom he is lord and mas- ter. This menial is compelled to serve him in any capacity that may be re- quired. For instance, when the small Chinese farmer takes a pig to market he does not do it as the Irishman does by driving the pig along the road. No. He first kills the pig or makes• his "hired man" do it. Then the pig Is carefully packed on one 'side of a single wheeled vehicle something like a wheelbarrow. The weight of the proprietor may just bal- ance that of the pig, but if it Is greater than that of the pig then a few bowl- ders are added to even things up. The whole apparatus is then wheeled along the road by the "hired mac," the Chi- nese proprietor meanwhile placidly smoking his pipe. The Editor Won.

They Are Very Carelal About What They Take In Their Hands. Our Constantinople correspondent writes: It is not generally known that there exists among Turkish ladies of high class a kind of caste feeling simi- lar to that prevailing among Hindoos. It takes the form of a fear of contami- nation from the outer world and is only observed, as far as I know, by those who cannot afford to keep servants in sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies always wash their hands at a tap from -which the water runs into a marble basin. They will turn on the tap when they are just going to wash, but when they have finished they let the water run till somebody shuts it off, as to do it themsei,ves would make them un- clean. They cannot open or shut a door, as the handle would be unclean, so a slave is generally kept bandy for the purpose. . One of these fastidious ladies was talking to a small niece the other day who had just received a present of a beautiful doll from Paris. The child presently laid the doll on the lady's lap, who was horrified and ordered the child to take it away. As the little girl would not move It and no servant was near, and the lady would be defiled by touching a doll that was brought from abroad, the only thing she could think kof was to jump up and let the doll fall, which broke to pieces. The same lady will not open a letter coming by post, but a servant opens it and holds It near her for her to read. If her hand- kerchief falls to the ground, it is imme- diately destroyed or given away, so that she should not use it again.

In Maryland sparrows have been known to raise six broods in one year. In England there are seldom more than three broods. Ostrich farms are profitable.

Cats evince, as is well known, a cu- rious emotional disturbance when in the neighborhood of valerian plant, of which they are very fond. It apparent- ly produces in them a species of intoxi- cation. There are records of elephants that have lived for 200 years, and an age of 150 years is not regarded as so very old for an elephant.

The opera- tor in expressing his sympathy said, "Little rough to keep you in suspense so Yong." "Look a -here, sonny," the farmer re- marked, "I'll stand all the suspense.

Icebergs. The captain of an ocean steamer is often warned of the proximity of ice- bergs by the men in the engine room. When a ship enters water considerably colder than that through which it has been going its propeller runs faster, and as such water surrounds the vi- cinity of icebergs for many miles the engineers know when the propeller's action is greatly accelerated without any increase of the steam power ice- bergs may be expected.

SPIRIT SLATE WRITING. How the Mysterious Sentences Are Prepared In Advance. Spiritualistic slate writing, if cleverly done, always makes a marked impres- sion on a magician's audience because it utterly baffles their efforts to detect the trick. They see a small cabinet suspended above the stage by means of cords or ribbons. It has an open front and is empty. The magician turns it around so that every part of it may be seen and taps it inside and out with his wand to show that it is hollow. On a stand near by he has a small easel, a common school slate, a bottle of India ink with a quill pen in it and a few sheets of ordinary white writing paper. All these he passes around among the audience for examination. Then he fixes a sheet of the paper to the slate by means of wafers, places the slate on the easel and the easel In the cabinet, together with the bottle of ink, the latter having the pen still in it. Having allowed the audience to see the articles thus arranged in the cabi- net, he throws a large silk handker- chief over it. Mysterious sounds are immediately heard, and the cabiuet shakes as if some living thing had en- tered it. When the sounds and the shaking cease, he removes the hand- kerchief, showing an inscription writ- ten in bold black letters on the paper and the pen not in the ink bottle, but lying on the bottom of the cabinet. He then removes the paper from the'slate and passes it around for examination, when the writing is immediately recog- nized as having been done with India ink. The explanation of the trick Is sim- ple. The writing was done in advance by the performer, the fluid used being a solution of sulphuric acid of the pur- est quality. To make the solution 50 drops of the concentrated acid are,atld- ed to one ounce of filtered water. Writ- ing done with this solution is invisible until exposed to beat. When so ex- posed, it comes out perfectly black, looking exactly like dried India ink. The beat is applied by means of an electric current running over wire with which the slate is wound. The cords by which the cabinet is suspended con- ceal copper wires, which conduct the current to the slate. Black silk threads suitably attached enable the performer to make the sounds in the cabinet, to cause the cabinet to shake and to jerk the pen out of the ink bottle. Several sheets of paper are prepared in advance, each with a different in- scription, the performer telling one in- scription from another by secretly marked pin pricks.—New York Herald. Keeping at It. There is a very old but very good story about a boy who was engaged one winter day in putting a ton of coal into a cellar. His only implement was a small fire shovel. Noticing this, a benevolent old gentleman expressed surprise and commiseration. "My son," said the gentleman, "you surely do not expect to put in all that coal with that little shovel?" "Oh, yes, I do," replied the boy cheer- fully. "All I have to do is to keep at it." There is a lesson in this story for young and old, and it is exemplified in the lives of the great men of the world. It is a mistake to suppose that the best work of the world is done by" people of great strength and many opportunities. "Keeping at it" is the secret of success. —Exchange. Left Handed Medicine. An Atchison druggist tells this story and declares that it is true: He had tonsilitis, but did not send for a doc- tor, as' he knew he would be all right as soon as the swelling "broke." But his wife was worried and insisted on sending for a doctor. When the doc- tor arrived, he looked through his medi- cine case, and said be had nothing suitable for the patient; that the medi- cine he had was for the right side, whereat the swelling in the throat was on the left side. Then he hurried away to get his left banded medicine.—Atchi- son Globe. Catching a Feminine Fish. "Do you really think there are mer- maids in the sea?" "Certainly," said the dime museum man. "Then why hasn't anybody besides you succeeded in catching oner "Because nobody else was smart enough to bait a hook with the latest style of Paris hat," was the answer.— Washington Star. slmplteity It■elr.

The early reports from Buffalo yesterday were quite alarming as to the condition of President McKinley, but an afternoon dispatch is more encouraging. It appears that he had been improving so rapidly that more solid food was given than the stomach could digest. Relief was promptly afforded, and the country is again hopeful. The managers of the state fair an- nounce that their success was accom- plished by the judicious use of the country press. So far as our experi- ence goes this consisted of several columns of plate matter and a sheet of notices, with a ssaspn ticket as compensation. They were promptly hove over among the rubbish. A few favored papers had paid adver- tisements, as they do every year. The Minnesota managers at the Pan American Exposition have issued a handsome souvenir of the Bread and Butter State, consisting of fourteen photographic reproductions of the ex- hibits now upon the grouyds. It is well worthy of permanent preserva- tion. An assault upon the presidelit- of the United States should be legally defined as treason, with a death penalty as summarily inflicted as that of a spy in time of war. A drum- head court martial is the proper tri- bunal for such offenses. Minnesota Journalism. Cowles & Smith have sold The St. Peter Journal to J. S. Vandiver, of St. Paul. J. E. King, late of The Adrian Democrat, has bougbt.The Courier at Red Lake Falls. It was not a very neighborly act for Red Wing to tempt away our .superintendent of schools the first week of the term, by an overbid in salary. Better things had been ex- pected from the city under the bluff. Hermitage at Lake Minnetonka was burned on the night of the 5th inst., together with the occupant, Maj. G. B. Halsted, and a' rare collection of relics The street fairs in Stillwater and Winona had a moist -time of it this week. Bishop H. B. Whipple is seriously ill at his home in Faribault. Prof. W. F. Kunze, of Hastings, was Rut evening by the board of education elected superintendent of public schools of Red Wing, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Prof. F. V. Hubbard•two weeks ago. His salary was.fixed at $1,500 per year, less payment for the month of -Sep- tember. President Putnam appoint- ed Directors Williston, Johnson, and Meyer as a committee to notify Prof. Kunze of his election and to ascertain if the salary question was satisfac- tory.: Of course the board is not certain whether or not Prof. Kunze can come to Red Wing. He has been. engaged for the Hastings schools for a year, and it might be probable that the board of education of that city would not accept his resignation, but hold him to his year's contract. This of course will be known within a few days. The board of education here intends to have Prof. Kunze take charge of the schools Oct. lst.-� Reil Wing Republican, llth. W. F. Kunze, of Hastings, was elected superintendent of schools at $1,500 a year by the board of edu- cation Tuesday evening after two informal ballots and two formal, and the election was promptly made unan- imous. A comtnittee ,y_gis appoint- ed to break it to him gently. Mr. Kunze had not filed an application, but the board'had no doubt he would accept if Hastings would let him go. The board had also reason to sup- pose that Hastings would ,not wish to let hien go. There were more than fifty applications from all parts of the state and from outside the state. Red Wing's superintendency is one of the prizes, not somuch for the wages, but for the distinction and perhaps partly for the scenery. There were never more than half, a dozen names that were seriously considered. -Red Wing News. A Hader man brought a cow to town to -day, which certainly is a freak. The animal has its heart in its throat, but does not seem to be in the least inconvenienced on this ac- count. The beating of the heart can be easily felt in the throat. The man put the cow in the barn of Dr. A. F. Leas, but did not give his name. He intends to sell it to the circus, and asks $200 for the freak. The cow was raised on his farm, and is two and a half years old. -Red Wing Republican., Pith. Brother Sheets, of The Todd Coun- ty Argus, calls our state normal schools "sinkholes for our public funds." That's about what they are. They are free seminaries for the bene- fit of the towns that possess them, maintained by taxpayers of the whole state. The state would gladly do- nate them to the towns where they are located, but they would not be accepted. The state couldn't give thein away. -Litchfield Independent. Langdon Items.

The cause of their wrath is the 'retrenchment and reform attempted by the board. The schools were satisfied with the board so long as the latter did not interfere with the extravagance, but, as soon as they attempted to reduce expenses, the secession came. Auditor Dunn re- fuses to allow or audit bills unless they bear the endorsement of the bard of control. And this has brought matters to such a pass that the constitutionality of the law will be tested in the courts, as it should have been some time ago. The writer was largely instrumental in having the educational institutions incorpor- ated in the law, for they were, with- out question, the institutions that needed better business methods, and the°r subsequent attitude shows that the position taken then was right. We have never believed in the board of '•mtrol idea, hut, if it is of any poteneyatall, the notral schools end university should be included under the authority. -St. Peter Herald. Hymeneal. The marriage of Mr. William Stumpf, of Hampton, and Miss Anna B. Kiemen, of Vermillion, took place at St. John's Church, in the latter town, on Wednesday, at half past eight a. m., the Rev. William Lette officiating.. A pleasant recep- tion was held during the afternoon and evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Kiemen, which was quite largely attended, and . numerous congrat- ulations were extended to the newly wedded couple. Transmission of Sound. A striking example of the magical effects capable of being produced by any one conversant with the laws of Sound was shown by the late Professor Tyndall in one of his lectures. He placed on the floor of the room an ordi- nary guitar. No one was near, and yet some unseen hand drew sweet music from it so that all could hear. The 'guitar was replaced by a harp, with the same result. A wooden tray -was then substituted, and even from that Issued mysterious hattmonies. The marvelous effect was simply due to the sound conducting quality of wood. In a room beneath and separated by two floors was a piano, and connecting !the rooms was a tin tube containing a deal rod, the end of which emerged from the floor. The rod was clasped by rubber bands so as to close the tube, Ind the lower end of the rod then rested on the sound board of the piano. As the guitar rested upon the upper end of the rod the sounds were repro- duced from the piano, and when the sound board of the harp was placed on the rod it seemed as though the actual !notes of the harp were heard, the notes rof the piano being so like those of the harp. As the professor said, "An unedu- cated person might well believe that witchcraft was used in the production lof this music." -Chambers' Journal. A Far Look. Three visitors traveling in the Isle of Man thought they would visit Snae- fell, the king of Manx mountains. When walking up toward the moun- tlan, they espied an old shepherd com- ing toward them. They thought they would take a rise out of him, so one accosted him, saying: "They tell me, old man, you can see England, Scotland, Ireland and even as far as America from the top of this mountain." "Oh, yes," said the old man. "If you will come with me, I will show you much further than America." So, chuckling to themselves, they de- cided to follow him. After trudging for about half an hour up the moun- tain side in a boiling sun they began to feel rather fagged and kept asking the shepherd how much further they had to go. He kept urging them on a little fur- ther until at last the three visitors lay down on the grass and said they would go no further for any sight. "Now," said the old man, "if you will sit here long enough you will see the moon." The Tanning Process. The slowness of the process of tan- ning is largely due to the difficulty with which the tannin penetrates into the hide. As the penetration progresses the outer part of the hide becomes con- verted into leather and is thereby made Impervious; consequently the rate of penetration decreases. Months of soak- ing in the tan pit are therefore neces- sary for thick hides. Many attempts have been made to hasten this absorp- tion of tannin by hide. The methods used include circulating the tan liquor so that fresh portions are continually presented to the hide, forcing the liquid through the hide by pressure and using strong aqueous extracts of tanning ma- terials. It has been sought to attain the same object by passing a current of electric' ity through the vat in which the hides are suspended. One such process has been found to shorten the time; of tan- ning to a quarter of that necessary when no current is used, and the leath- er is said to be unexceptionable.-Elec- trieal Review. The Eskimos. The old tradition that the Eskimos are a people of small stature is with- out foundation. On the contrary, in Labrador, Baffin Land and all around Hudson bay the height of the men is probably above rather than below the average of the human race; but, as a rule, the women, although very strong, are considerably shorter than the men. They are brave, industrious, provident and communicative, in all of which characteristics they contrast with the northern tribe of Indians. A Wonderful Echo. Many wonderful echoes are known, but the one which takes the first place seems to be that of the old palace of Simonetta, near Milan, which forms three sides of a quadrangle. The re- port of a pistol is said to be repeated by this echo 00 times, and Addison, who visited the place on a somewhat foggy day, when the air was unfavor- able, counted 56 repetitions. At first they were quick, but tke intervals were greater in proportion as the sound diminished. A Corn Plaster. A medical publication gives the fol- lowing formula for a corn plaster: Take of purified ammonia and yellow, ,wax, each two ounces; acetate of cop; per, six drams; melt the two first to- gether over the fire, and after remov- ing from the fire add the verdigris just before it grows cold. Spread the' mixture on soft leather or linen, pare away the corn and apply the plaster. Keep it on a fortnight and then renew it Changing the Subiteet. An original method of closing a con- versation was adopted by a host at** dinner party the other day. A young man had turned it to a topic whichohe lid not care to discuss, and angry glances failed to make;. y impression. "Now, then,"°said ththost •at last, "let's change the conversation. ' what we have'received,' " eta -London Globe. Hard Hit. Lord Fitzfoodle, casting himself on his knees before Araminta, gave ut- terance to the following: "Oh, that I could snatch a pine from some prime - 'Val forest! I would sharpen the end with my penknife, dip it in the molten crater of Vgsuvius and write upon the azure wall of heaven in letters of liv- ing fire, 'Araminta, I love thee!" in the Dumps. There was once upon a time an Egyptian king, so it is said, who built a pyramid and died of melancholy. His name was Dumops. The memory of his tragic history is perpetuated every time we say we are "in the dumas.". Lodge Directory. Court Gardner, No. 3149, I. O. F. Workman Hall, first and third Tuesdays. T. P. MORAN, U. R.

Whatever other of import the Pan- American Exposition may have, and whatever else it may teach, it has served well to emphasize the great- ness of the state of Minnesota and to change the name of that northern land from the Gopher to the Bread and Butter State. Indeed, a casual glance at Minnesota as represented at the local exposition makes the new name singularly appropriate, for it speaks from nearly all the displays. The deep straw color and white of the Minnesota building over in the court of state and foreign structures is symbolic of the staff of life and the adjunct that furnishes such a delight- ful accommodation combination with bread. The wheat and flour exhibits tell a marvelous tale of what- Minne- sota actually produces for making bread, and the butter in the dairy buildingreminds that the state bas developed an enormous production along dairy lines. In mines, horti- culture, and agriculture, in all their separate branches, there are shown results that bring the where' itli to purchase bread and butter, even though these two important commodi- ties were not indigenous to the state itself. When one studies Minnesota ait the Pan-American Exposition and realizes that the exhibits depict the workings of scarcely twenty-five years, he is apt to pause itt bewilder- ment, and involuntarily he wonders what can be the future of a state which has accomplished so much in such a short space of time. -Buffalo Courier. New Wabash Equipment. The Wabash Railroad has just received and placed in service on its lines running out of Chicago the following new equip- ment: -Eight combination baggage and passenger coaches, thirty palace day coaches, ten reclir.ing chair cars. three cafe cars, and two dining cars. The ma- jority of these new cars are seventy feet in length, and fitted with the latest style wide vestibules. They have six wheel trucks with steel wheels. The cars are finished in the finest selected Jago mahog- ony. The lighting is by Pintsch gas with the exception of the cafe, dining, and some of the chair oars. which are un- usually well lighted by electricity, the fixtures being especially designed for these cars. The dining cars will seat twenty-nine persons and have ample kitchen space.

MARRIAGE AT THE SCAFFOLD t In the seaport of Calais, which over 100 years was under the powe the English, there once lived a ba lor, Josse Dullest, who had come t to carry on business. He was a natty cure for the London merchants the n of which the Flemish weavers m their various materials and to de an honest prole from each.

In pur ance of the scheme one of them secs ly concealed in the honse of Josse D last a leather bag containing a sum 100 livres sterling in gold crowns. Ha ing done this, he went to the crimin magistrate with two comrades as w nesses to accuse his colleague of ha Ing robbed him. At that remote period there had n yet appeared under the canopy of hea en any of the impudent sharpers, slu gards and swindlers who in the eour of time have shamelessly said and wri ten that ownership means theft, an the money earned by some is so muc lost by others, with the sole intent th they may put everything into conf sion and be able easily to slip into the ,purses that which is another's. The world has indeed heard of muc folly and seen many iniquities, but no that, and human justice, which bad nev er known of any jesting upon the ma ter, would hare hung their like hig and In short order, dealing with the precisely as she would with veritabl robbers. Who was amazed at seeing the po liceman of the provostship invade hi home, ransack his coffers and chests produce from them a sack of gold o which he knew nothing and a legal clerk take down disquieting notes o the affair in his Illegible scrawl? I was the ill fated. Dullest. The poor fellow strove with them in vain, vowing to God his innocence, but words could not prevail against deeds. Now, he could not explain how the sack, • the evidence of his crime, had come into his possession, whence it fol- lowed that the Innocent man was con- demned to the halter as if he had been The affair, however, let loose in an uproar all the devils of Calais. Think of it—a great merchant, with a house of his own, convicted of common lar- ceny, like a vulgar rascal! In the end the populace, while it was not privy to -the plot laid by a half dozen arrant rogues, was nevertheless not mistrustful. It rather inclined in favor of the pitiable citizen of Bailleu- lois. This without taking into consid- eration the peasants on the outskirts of the town, who were French, not hav- ing been expelled from their fireside by the conquerors, as had been the poor commoners of the city. and who hated all the English within their bor- ders. So it may be said that the throng which swarmed about the streets and crossways on the day when Dullest was to be taken to the gibbet entertain- ed more compassion for him than dell- sion, above all, if you take into ac- count the fact that he was young, good in every respect and of a prepossessing From the jail to the gallows Josse walked with bowed head by the side of a priest, who enjoined him to re- joice that he was about to pass Into a better world. He did not glance at a single person, so great was the shame he felt on account of the filthy mischief of which he was accused. It was only when he had ascended the first rodnds of the fatal ladder, having the cord about his seek, that below the soldiers .grouped around the base of the gibbet, he perceived the crowd and recognized among them a falr young woman for whom in happier days be had conceiv- ed a tender and violent passion. At the sight of her he experienced a yet more poignant sorrow at leaving so soon and so painfully an existence from which he had expected to derive such delicate felicities. And then, im-' pelted by a sudden retniniseence and by a natural instinct for preservation, he began to cry out with all his might- "Loyse, Loyse, by God the Father. the Son and the Holy Ghost, I adjure you!

The executioner did not cut the ro but he let it drop, undecided as to wb was most expedient for him to do, a as the crowd continued to bellow a even become threatening the officer the provostship, judging it an oppo tune time for a delay, led the condem ed man back into his cell in order submit his peculiar case to the la And the people dispersed content, b Sieving the man from that moment be saved. But the stealthy cats did not so ea ily let go one whom they held 4n the claws. They had a man to be flanged a pretty little man, a man over who hanging they licked their lips, and here how people pretended that b was taken out of their grasp! An why, I ask you? Under the most foo ish of pretexts, in the name of some ri diculous custom, some illegal pretens which granted grace, full, free and im mediate, to any condemned man who a woman declared in public to des' in lawful wedlock. Who ever ha heard of an equal subterfuge? But, ah, traditional or written, th law is the law, and the case in ques tion had to be elucidated! Unwillingl rather than willingly they opened at inquest upon the matter in hand t learn whether or not so unreasonabl a usage had ever at any period ba power by law, which inquest finally es tablished that no similar ease bad been presented since the time of the con quest in Calais, but that previous to that date there had been many such cases, more particularly in Flanders and in Artois than in Picardy. In consideration of these indecisive conclusions the enemies of Dullart urg- ed the magistrates to override the law; and the magistrates did not demur. It was the governor who placed an ob- stacle before them in view of public opinion, which had become greatly agi- tated over controversy which had at stake the life of a man made in the image of God. Suddenly that dignitary called to mind the example of prudence offered of yore to the world by that worthy magistrate Pontius Pilate in order that he might avoid thrusting his own finger between the tree and is bark. In place of announcing his ears in public he appealed to his mas- er, I{ing Edward, the fourth of that ame, to decide the matter according to is own good pleasure. The monarch judiciously estimated hat one man more or less upon the gal- ows was of small value in enhancing is glory and bespoke clemency for the ase under consideration. He ordained hen that the old usages should be con- ormed with and that full pardon be warded the condemned man, under he condition, be it well understood, hat the solicitor of his love hold him my to his engagement. So it came to pass that the good Josse ad the rare and marvelous fortune to pouse a gentle and well favored mail - n after the approved fashion instead the cold and grimacing death and be indebted to his wife for that hich ordinarily men owe to their others only—that is to say, his life.

For sheer melodrama the English jewel robber Houghton's arrest would be hard to beat. After his last big dia- mond Weft he was traced to West Bromwich and thence led the detect- ives a dance over the country. At last when the pursuers were hard on his heels he dashed into a traveling men- agerie which was exhibiting just out- side Birmingham. There he found one of the attendants fastening up a van cage containing a pair of large gray wolves. He flung the man on one side and opened the'cage, shutting himself in with the beasts and daring any one to fetch him out. The strange thing was that the wolves, which tbe propri- etor had always considered the most dangerous animals in tbe show, took no notice whatever of the fugitive, but showed great ill temper toward the keeper and a constable, who had great difficulty in dragging Houghton out. Restoring the Polish. Says a housekeeper: "My piano, which bad been covered with a cambric cover, was loaded with dust that had sifted through the sleazy cloth. The dust was too &tick to be wiped off. It should have been blown and lightly *whisked of! first, but this my maid did not do, and in consequence the grime was wiped in for all I know with a damp cloth. AI all events the highly polished surface was clouded over al- most to a gray, and I was in despair until a friend suggested a remedy. She advised me to wring as dry as I could a piece of chamois from out a basin of water and rub the piano untie tee chamois was bone dry.

The pepper plant Is propagated by cuttings, comes into bearing three or four years after it is set and yields two crops annually for about 12 years. When a few of the berries change from green to red, all of them are gath- ered, because if they were allowed to ripen any longer they would be less pungent. To tit them for market they are dried, separated by rubbing with the hands and cleaned by winnowing. The black pepper of commerce consists of the berries thus prepared.

COMPACT ONVENIENTLY ARRANGED AND T REFORE LABOR SAVING. One's Head Should Save One's Heels Many Useless Steps—The Right Rel- ative Position of Things—A Prac- tical Kitchen Plan. • Having designed what has proved to be a very convenient and labor saving kitchen, I am pleased to present here- with a somewhat detailed description of the same for the benefit of others, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. The dimensions are about 9 by 12 feet. There is no outside door leading direct - SOUTH, WEST AND NORTH WALLS. ly Into the kitchen, there being an ant room between the outer and the inn door, This arrangement is designed serve certain cardinal purposes whic every housewife will appreciate. Firs It obviates the embarrassing necessi of throwing your kitchen open to th gaze of the back door errand caller inopportune moments. Second, thi anteroom is a convenient place for th family refrigerator. Here It is nea at hand, and yet not in the least e posed to the heat of the stove. This arrangement also obviates th annoyance of having the iceman tree across the kitchen or into some othe room at each delivery. Furthermor it makes it entirely unnecessary fo the housewife who has no help to sta about the house to receive the iceman The inner doors leading to the kitche and the sitting room, respectively, ca be looked so that there Is access to th refrigerator only. Further, this kitche anteroom forms a very desirable pro tection against storm and cold In th The kitchen faces south, with a larg window midway of the length, furnish ing abundance of light. Against this same wall, between the window and the anteroom, is a cupboard, 3 by 4 feet, directly over the sink. This cup board serves as a depository for a cer- tain classification of kitchen articles, aUeb as tea, coffee, spices, extracts, teapot, coffeepot, etc. On the same wall. at the other end of the kitchen, are hooks and bar, designed as hang- ers for miscellaneous cooking utensils. The stationary work table extends the full length of this side, exclusive of the sink provided with hot and cold water, Under this table there is a se- ries of receptacles for crockery, kettles, pans, skillets and other kitchen tools; also a flour bin with separate pockets bforte•atdh.e pastry dour and the flour for The entire east end wall is occupied with cupboards, divided into upper and lower sections, between which there is an extension of the stationary work ta- ble. The upper section Is fitted with four shelves and the lower with two. One division of the upper section is set apart for the choice china and the oth- eor for the everyday set. One division f the lower section is the receptacle for the stock of tea towels, kitchen band towels, aprons, ete., another for general grocery supplies, another for pie tins, bread pans, etc. The door to the dining room swings either way with very slight touch, and the hinges are so constructed that push- ing the tloor beyond a certain point re- lieves the automatic action, and the door remains stationary, a very desir- able feature of a swinging door. About midway along the north wall and directly opposite the window is the position of the gas range, at convenient distance from all working points of the kitchen. Just above the range and against the *all there is ample pro- vision made for hanging such utensils as are most frequently used in the preparation of the meals. The hot water tank is set between the range and the chimney and, being connected with the furnace, gives ample heat ra- Cr to ty at EVERYDAY ACCIDENTS. And Their Home Treatment —!Soy Poisoning—A Sprain Reduced. A peculiarity of poisoning by ivy, dogwood or sumach is that a cure which will be of avail to one patient w1/I give rfo relief to another. Country people who live in districts where poi- sonous plants luxuriate keep ready all sorts of simple home remedies, and if one does not help another will. Carbonate of soda dissolved in hot water, making a very strong solution, will frequently cure at once if it can be applied at the very earliest symptom of poisoning. Salt in hot water will sometimes relieve when soda does not. Other simple country cures are a strong lye made from wood ashes, sassafras tea, made as strong as possible, and limewater. A doctor's remedy is a solution of sugar of lead mixed with opium in equal quantities. Water as hot as can be borne affords relief from the terri- ble itching. Poison ivy is easily recognized by its triple leaf. Some people are so suscep- tible to it that merely passing in its vicinity Is sufficient to bring out the ir- ritating blotches. Washing the exposed parts of the body immediately after coming in con- tact with it will often prevent unpleas- ant results. Care should be taken. nev- er to wipe the hands or face after ex- posure on a towel another is likely to use, for, though you may not be poi- soned yourself, another may become frightfully so. A lad sprained his ankle at a moun- tain camp when a doctor was not with- in ten miles. A hospital nurse was the next best person. Somebody brought her from an adjacent camp in half an hour. She ordered plenty of hot water, a kettleful kept constantly—at the boil till she said stop. The patient was stretched on a lounge and his mother held the injured foot in her hand. The nurse mounted a stool near by and from the height of three or four feet poured hot water, a steady, slow, steaming 'trickle con- stantly falling on the injured ankle. Before one pitcher was empty an- other was ready to be put In her hand. In one hour the swelling had subsided, the pain was gone and the hurt ankle was in a bandage. Three days later the lad was on his feet.—Good House- keeping. Restoring Old Furniture. It is an easy task to restore the mir- rorlike surface of old furniture and that of its metal trimmings if one has the proper materials, says Art Inter- change. These are a bottle of the pol- ish used in piano manufactories for the wood, a brightener for the brass, some scouring material for the steel and a half dozen pieces of cloth. Soft old silk Or cashmere is best, but cheese- cloth will do. It.would be a wise pre- caution to see that all hard hems, seams and buttonholes, not to mention buttons, are cut away.

The pipe thimble for the coal range is supplied with a ventilat- ing funnel, effectually removing steam and cooking odors from the kitchen.

A Question of Location. "I thought, count, that you were a dead shot?" "And yet, though you said you would shoot your adversary through the heart, you hit him in the foot." "It was an error of judgment. I thought his heart was in his boots; it , turned out to be in his month."—Lon- don Telegraph. A Follower.

FOR THE SOUP. that "at lunchtime the soup was al- ways served in cups, and even at din- ner she often preferred to serve this course in the shallow blue and white Japanese bowls that kept the soup from growing cool rapidly rather than in the open plates, where the portion of the first served person was chilled before the last member of the family had been helped." And some of the utensils used are shown—a bouillon cup, ladle, spoon and underplate and the fashionable bowl. Fashion's Echoes. This has been emphatically an "out- door" season, bare heads, bare hands, elbow sleeves and low necks being much in evidence, and sandaled feet the latest of all. Very narrow ribbons border most of the trinities on gowns and elbow sleeves, and bows of all sizes are in- troduced on to the fronts of bodices and on pretty well every hat. Garments for children have been very successfully catered for in light silks, light seiges and ginghams. The under - sleeve has crept into their garment. For "damp" service — namely, for boating and mountain use—soft woolen shorts are best and are Qooler often than the cotton. Soft flannel summer boating shirts it is hard to beat. They all pouch slightly in the front. For country parties where croquet and lawn tennis are played linen, cloth. pique, English serge and mohair are all used, made up into boleros and Eton jackets, with pretty waistcoats and underbodices. Light summer silk, bareges, satin striped taffetas and peau de sole, sage green and coquelicot give a touch of color among more somber materials. There seems. a stronger disposition to employ silk than there has been for some time. Silks and crepes in beautiful pastel colors are made up with much lace and u great many beautiful buttons.

Every little while the banks out there set up a hoot and cry for pennies, but our banks here are ever glad to rid them- selves of their surplusage in these coins. It is difficult to see why such a state of things should be. I'm sure a penny is just as dear to the eastern- er's heart as to the westerner's. One would no more throw a penny away than would the other, yet here we al- ways have too many pennies. There they never seena to have enough." Deathbed Flattery. Almost every dying penon is liable to be allured by the solemn attitude of the company and the restrained or flowing torrents of tears and emotions to an alternating conscious and uncon- scious comedy of conceitedness.

Saluting With the Hat. Before the invention of wigs the hat was rarely removed except to salute others, especially royal personages. It was worn at table when ladies or per- sons of rank .were present. Except wben saluting royalty it was the cus- tom merely to raise the hand to the hat somewhat after the manner of a mili- tary salute. When it became the mode to wear a profusion of false hair, the hat was less needed as a protection for tbe head and was carried under the arm.

As to the value of diamonds, per- fectly white stones or decided tints of red, rose, green or blue are most high- ly prized. Fine cinnamon and salm- on or brown, black or yellow stones • also are esteemed. If flawless and without tint of any kind, they are termed first water. ,If they possess a steely blue color, at times almost opalescent, they are called blue white. Such are usually Brazdian stones. Ex- ceptionally perfect stones are termed gems, and for such there is no fixed value, the price dependkig on the puri- ty and the brilliancy of the stone. The term first water varies in meaning, ac- cording to the class of goods carried by the dealer using it. kt is impossible to estimate the value of a diamond by its weight.

Theodore Roosevelt, the new presi- dent of the United States, is one of the most remarkable men in this coun- try. His career, whieh from the outset has been a most "strenuous" one, may be divided into nine phases or stages, leading up to the tenth as president, upon the duties of which be is just en- tering. In nine different roles he has given evidence of the attributes that make him today perhaps the most talked of man of forty-three in the world. Of aristocratic birth, a member of a family distinguished for valor, patri- otism and culture for . many genera- tions, young Roosevelt first sued for public favor when he appeared as can- didate for assemblyman in his native city, New York. He was then just out of college, 1879, and was twenty-one years of age. Even his opponents admit that he was a zealous servant of his own par- ty—an unwavering Republican. He was then, as now, athletic and remark- able for his boundless energy, his in- terest in people and things and his un- failing enthusiasm. The second stage of Mr. Roosevelt's public career was that in which he an- nounced himself as candidate for may- or of New York. It was very characteristic that he should, with his belief in himself, con- sider the office of mayor one which he was equipped to fill, but unquestiona- bly if Mr. Roosevelt were consulted to- day he would agree with his friends that his defeat in this race was bene- ficial to him. Defeated as candidate for mayor, Mr. Roosevelt next appears as a national civil service commission- er, and hereelgain his party found him studious, untiring, capable and effi- cient. This appointment was made in 1889 by President Harrison when Roose- velt was a trifle over thirty. Two years late, in 1891 (the fourth stage of Mr. ilooseveit's remarkable life), he ap- PtVenTheodore Roosevelt concluded as a hunter of big game. to hunt grizzly bears, he naturally de - - ROOSEVELT AS GOVERNOR. ceded to do so in what he considered proper costume, and it is most inter- esting to see the dramatic instinct again dominating. The pictures of Mr. Roosevelt taken in his costume as a hunter show him holding his rifle, loaded with many bullets. The leather breeches, with their picturesque adorn- ment of fringe; the hunting shirt of leather, embroidered supposedly by In- dians; the scarlet silk handkerchief, Ivory handled revolver, the knife thrust through the cartridge belt, are all the fitting parapbernalla of the cowboy's hero. 4[. ROOSEVELT AS A HUNTER. I • When Roosevelt, dressed in his gau- dy and personally selected hunting cos- tume, made his appearance among the untrammeled citizens around Little Missouri river, he was looked upon as a tenderfoot of a very elementary brand. The toughs who proposed to show him a thing or two arranged among themselves, in their own ex- pressive language, "to take some of the frills out of the New York tenderfoot." A well known character approached Roosevelt and asked him what he in- tended to do and what kind of game he was after. The New Yorker said he was after grizzlies, and it was soon noised about the camp that the "four eyed tenderfoot" was looking for big game. The hardest man in the vicinity sent word to Roosevelt that he couldn't shoot any grizzlies in that territory and that if he attempted to the "bad man" in question would be informed and proposed to shoot Roosevelt at sight. When this message was conveyed to the blue eyed tenderfoot, he seemed greatly pleased, and, looking eagerly through his glasses, he inquired of his informant "where the tad man' lived?' Immediately upon receiving the desired information Roosevelt rode over to see the man who propesed to shoot him. When he reached the camp of the in- dividual in question, the "bad man" had forgotten why he intended to shoot and was very much disposed to be amiable with the tenderfoot from the east. Mr. Roosevelt net only wore a cos- tume which he cons!: red appropriate for killing grizzlies. but he actually killed more bears tea a the best of the "bad men," and his unquestioned brav- ery and fearlessness ;on him, as it al- ways does with the L.'. t Harte type of man. unbounded respect and love. What the men of the west thought of the tenderfoot was shown when Theodore Roosevelt called for volun- teers for the rough riders, amongk whom were some of those who tried to "take the frills off the New York dude" when he first appeared among thein and who 'today lovingly and loyally re- fer to him as a leader whom they would follow to the death. POLICE COMMISSIONER OF NEW YORK. • 1 The fifth stage of Mr. Roosevelt's career was embodied in his service as police commissioner of New York city. Other commissioners have come and became- ramous 'before it was organ- ized. Roosevelt had had some military experience as a captain in the Eighth regiment, but not enough, in his esti- mation, to fit him to command a regi- ment in time of war, and he modestly took the second place and was content to learn from his friend, Dr. Wood. It is hardly necessary to recount the history of the rough riders from the time they were organized in San An- tonio, Tex., until they were mustered out at Camp Wikoff—to recall the jun- gle fight of Las Guasimas and the bloody charge at San Juan Hill. The tale is still on every one's lips. But it is worth while to recall the remarkable influence Roosevelt's personality had over his men, an influence that welded a thousand or more independent cow- punchers, ranchers and athletes into a fighting machine. "You've got to per- form without flinching whatever duty is assigned you regardless of the diffi- culty or danger attending it. No mat- ter what comes you .mustn't squeal." These words of Roosevelt's became al- most a religion with his men. "To do anything without flinching and not to squeal" was their aim, and to hear the colonel say "Bully!" was reward enough. MRS. ROOSEVELT. gone, and their records are more or less Prosaic, but the history of Theodore Roosevelt stands out again picturesque, dramatic and alive with the intensity of the man's nature, an intensity which differentiates him at every step of his career from his predecessors or succes- sors. As police commissioner Mr. Roose- velt made New York seethe with ex- citement. Disguised, he visited at night the various precincts, seeing for him- self and testing the probity and capa- bility of his corps. By day he fought the other police commissioners, he up- set old time rules and enforced old time "blue laws," because, as he explained, they were in the statute books and must be obeyed until they were re- pealed. The sixth phase of Mr. Roosevelt's career was brief, Nit most satisfactory, and was embraced in the short time of his service as assistant secretary of the navy. Colonel Roosevelt was nominat- ed by President McKinley on April 6, 1897. On April 17 he tendered his resig- nation as police commissioner to Mayor Strong of New York city. From the very first Roosevelt fore- saw the possibility of a conflict with Spain, and he set about preparing his department for it. He pushed repairs on the ships, he worked with might and main for the navy personnel bill and visited the various naval reserves throughout the country. He left noth- ing undone, in fact, that would secure the highest efficiency in the service when the time for action came. It is an open secret that he it was who first realized the tremendous opportunity that the war would open in the east and who had Dewey, in whom he rec- ognized the right man for the place, appointed to command the eastern squadron. And naval officers agree that the remarkable skill in marks- manship displayed by the ;American gunners was clue to his foresight. He saw the necessity of practice, and he thought it the best kind of economy to burn up ammunition in acquiring skill. A characteristic story, of the truth of which there is no doubt, is told re- garding Roosevelt's insistence on prac- tice in the navy. Shortly after his ap- pointment he asked for an appropria- tion of $800,000 for ammunition, pow- der and shot for the navy. The ap- propriation was made, and a few months later he asked for another ap- propriation, this time of $500,000. When asked by the proper authorities, what had become of the first appro- priation, he replied, "Every cent of it was spent for powder and shot, and every bit of powder and shot has been tired." When he was asked what he was going to do with the $500,000, he replied, "Use every ounce of that, too, within the next thirty days in practice shooting." When the Maine was blown up, Mr. Roosevelt had no doubt that war would follow and that shortly, ano his energies were bent with redoubled force to getting the navy ready. When war did finally break out, Mr. Roose- velt was for rushing matters, for tak- ing Havana at once and dictating terms from there. ROOSEVELT'S ROUGH RIDERS. Naturally enough, Roosevelt would not be content to sit behind a desk while there was fighting going on. He submitted his resignation to the presi- dent on April 16 and tried to get an ap- pointment upon General Lee's staff. Then came the rough rider idea, the seventh phase of Roosevelt's career, haraly thought of before it was realized. "Roosevelt's rough riders"—something in the alliteration of the name struck the popular fancy, and_ the regiment I GOVERNOR, VICE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT. 0 . 0 Colonel Roosevelt returned to the United States to find that he was al- ready talked of as the next governor of New York. But his regiment, wItich he had "breathed and eaten with for three months," was still on his hands, and he had no time for anything but it. Not until he became a plain citizen on Sept. 15 would he talk of politics, and then he found the tide of events bear- ing him along inevitably and irresisti- bly. The eighth stage of Roosevelt's ca- reer began with his assumption of the office of governor of New York state and the ninth with his inauguration as vice president ot the United States March 4, 1901. A tenth phase is just opening for him as the chief executive of the greatest • nation in the world. President Roosevelt's ancestry and his rearing and education, coupled with an excessively aggressive nature, mani- fested unmistakably even in his very early boyhood, seemed to presage for him a more than ordinary career. ROOSEVELT'S ANCESTRY. Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. 27, 1858, in his father's house, 28 East Twentieth street, in New York city. In that quiet region around Gramercy park, the home of many families bear- ing names held in high honor and es- teem, there was none bearing a name more highly honored and esteemed • than the family into which Theodore Roosevelt was born. For six genera- tioas his forbears had been prominent as citizens of New York and distin- guished in the councils of the city. His father, James J. Roosevelt, was alder- man in 1828, 1829 and 1830, assembly- man from 1835 to 1840, congressman from 1841 to 1843 and supreme court justice from 1854 to 1860; his grandfa- ther, James Roosevelt, who was a mer- chant, was assemblyman in 1796-97 and alderman in 1809; his great-grand- father, Cornelius C. Roosevelt, likewise a merchant, was alderman from 1785 to 1801; his great -great-grandfather, Cor- nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from 1759 to 1764; his great -great -great- grandfather, John Roosevelt, also a merchant, was alderman from 1748 to 1767, and his great -great -great -great- grandfather, Nicholas Roosevelt, was alderman of New York city in 1700-01. Such was the life of the sturdy Dutch ancestors from whom Theodore Roose- velt inherited his name. But, although his name is Holland Dutch, Scotch, Irish and French Huguenot blood min- gle in his veins in equal measure with that of his Dutch ancestors and ac- counts to no small extent for the per- sonal qualities of the man, his energy and perseverance, "his impulsive, not to say fiery, temposament and his viva- cious mode of expression. With the impetus of family and the favorable material conditl n+ in which he found himself as well as by the force of his own personality, Roosevelt might have advanced rapidly in any path he chose, whether it led toward brilliant social success or the making of a large for-' tune. That he chose a career of public service is characteristic of the men, the more so in that he saw in the course he had marked out for himself small chande of pecuniary remunera- tion and a struggle for principle that might jeopardize those rewards that are the politician's. Once decided he never swerved from his course. For more than twenty years he has been before the public 'eye as an aggressive' political force. THE ROOSEVELT HOMESTEAD. Vice President Roosevelt's homestead near Oyster Bay, N. Y., is an ideal. country seat, and the Roosevelt fami- ly is a very old one in the neighbor- hood. The house is large, homelike and countrified, quite unpretentious. It crowns the very topmost peak of Saga - more hill. The approach to the house, through forest and meadow, is beautiful and refreshing in the extreme. But it is not until after one reaches the top of Sagamore hill that the full beauty of the magnificent panorama is revealed. The view of the bay, the headlands, with the Long Island sound and the Connecticut coast stretching for miles and resting against the deep blue of the sea, is so restful, so altogether loVely, that it cannot soon fade from the memory. ; :;;;;„ ;:;:.: • ;;;;;,;;;; ; ;;,-;;;;;. ; -;;;;;;;;;;.. ;;;;;;;,—;;;;;;;;;;;; .".;••••-• •• ''• =II I MI= UM Ell= 11111111M 111111r---' " 1111111111M 11=1111 The library, which is a splendid room directly eff the main hall, con- tains about 5,000 books. The interior is one of enchantment to the genuine book lover. A big °Am fireplace stretches across one end Of the room.

The floors are covered., with rugs made of the skins of lions,, bears, buf- faloes and panthers, all victims of the vice president's gun. In fact the whole house is adorned with trophies of the chase. Here it is that most of his books and articles, of which he has written many, were brought into being. - Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is the most enthusiastic admirer and ardent helper of her husband in his political career. She is absorbed heart and soul in her husband's success, as she has been from the time they first knew each oth- er as children. Mrs. Roosevelt, who before her marriage was Miss Edith Carow, possesses great intelligence, a remarkably fine education and a won- derful power of effacing herself and at the same time exerting a great influ- ence. She is very pretty, slight, of medium height and has dark brown eyes and hair. She has not gone much into society since her marriage, as she bas been more or less an invalid, and she has devoted herself entirely to her children and her home. She has five children of her own, and there is also a daughter by Mr. Roosevelt's first wife, a girl of seventeen, to whom Mrs. Roosevelt is the most devoted of moth- ers. 4' I MRS. ROOSEVELT AND THE CHILDREN. 0 0 Mrs. Roosevelt was a playmate of Mr. Roosevelt's sisters and of Mr. Roosevelt himself when they were chil- dren. They went to the same dancing class, were identified with the same set in society, and there were a great many people who predicted that as these children grew up they would marry. However, as is well known, Mr. Roosevelt's first wife was Miss Lee of Boston, and at the time of that marriage Miss Carow was abroad, where she remained for some time. Mr. Roosevelt met her in Europe after his wife's death, and their engage- ment was not anneenet_d for some months. When it was announced, the congratulations were most sincere from every one who knew them and realized how well suited they were to one an- other. Like her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt is an enthusiastic novel reader, but also keeps well up on all the topics of the day. She is a good French scholar and also speaks German. During the years 'Tent in Europe she traveled every- where and always kept up her studies. The Roosevelts heretofore have seldom entertained formally, preferring - to keep open house. When they first went to Washington, it was quite a break to leave all their New York friends, out it was not long before Mrs. Roosevelt as well as her husband had formed a circle of new acquaintances, elle their house in It Washington w the center of much that was del tful and •interesting. When Mr. Ro "sevelt decided to come back to New York again, Mrs. Roose- velt felt badly at breaking up her life In Washington, but, as usual, said nothing and allowed herself to be car- ried away by her husband's enthusi- asm over his new field of work and came back to New York and took up her life where she had left it before. As Is well known, the life here was short, and back again they went to Washington. But during all these chances and changes the quiet routine of Mrs. Roosevelt's life, if it could be a routine One, went on, and, with the exception that the place itself was altered, there was no difference made. Every sum- mer has been spent at Oyster Bay, where the life led is entirely an out- door one. Mrs. Roosevelt there, as elsewhere, superintends the education of her children. She- does not instruct them herself, but she makes a point of MR. ROOSEVELT'S OYSTER BAY HOME. going into their lessons always once a week. If they are at school; she goes to the school and stays through the day, in order to know just what the children are studying. The Roosevelt children are Alice, seventeen years old; Theodore, Jr., fourteen; Kermit, twelve; Ethel, ten; Archibald, seven, and Quentin, four. They are all bright ...and interesting, and, as the boys are as full of pranks as possible and have none of the ex- clusiveness so common to children reared in affluence, it ,is likely that the grounds of the Whits 'Houle will be much more lively than they have been for a generation. The romping„uutdoor la which these children have. hitherto enjoyed at Oys- ter Bay during neititV'tigtt'months of each year has had the .effset of making athletes of them all. Teddy junior is said to be an 'excellent boxer, tegood runner and jumper, a first class swim- mer and a magnificent horseman. In- deed all the children ride well, for their father has always held that horse- back riding is the most healthful exer- cise in the world. The children have taken to It so naturally that a visitor who saw them some time ago on their favorite mounts laughingly remarked to the colonel that if he should ever conclude to raise another regiment of rough riders he will be able to get sev- eral recruits without leaving his own premises. Teddy junior is so striking a counterpart in miniature of his fa- ther that his identity is clear to per- sons meeting him for the first time at places where they would naturally not expect to see him. His mental habits and his impulsive manner are also those of his father, who, by the way, is regarded by the youngster as the greatest man in the world. His sole expressed ambition is that he may live to be as good a man as his paternal ancestor. QUEER OPTICAL ILLUSION. An Interesting Experiment With a Pencil and a Wire Screen. Professor R. W. Wood recently de- scribed a rather startling optical illu- sion which any one may see with a lit- tle practice. A lead pencil is held point up an inch or two In front of a wire screen with a sky background. If the eyes are converged upon the pencil point, the wire gauze becomes some- what blurred and, of course, doubled. As the gauze has a regularly recur- ring pattern, however, the two images can be united and, with a little effort, can be accommodated for distinct vi- sion of the combined images of the mesh. As soon as accommodation is secured the mesh becomes perfectly sharp and appears to be nearly in the plane of the pencil point. If now the pencil is moved away from the eyes, which are to be kept fixed on the screen, it apparently pass- es through the mesh and becomes dou- bled. If now the pencil is removed en- tirely, it will be found that the sharp images of the combined images of the gauze persist, although the eyes be moved nearer to or farther away from the screen. Now bring the eyes up to within six or eight inches of the plane in which the mesh appears to be and attempt to touch it with the finger. It is not there. The finger falls upon empty space. the screen being in reality a couple of inches farther off. "This," says Professor Wood, "is by all means the most startling illusion I. have ever seen, for we apparently see something occupying a perfectly defi- nite position in space before our eyes, and yet if we attempt to put our linger on it -we find that there is nothing there."—Exchange. BEE BUZZES. One-fourth of an acre may contain 150 colonies of bees. An apiary should not be plaeed on ground thickly set with trees. Bees secrete wax only when necessa- ry to furnish storage room for honey or brood. The secretion of one pound of wax necessitates the consumption of twenty pounds of honey. When a queen is gone, it will be only a few days until the colony will cease to store much surplus honey. Sometimes, toward the close of the honey season, the bees will destroy the queen cells or kill all of the queens but one, thus destroying the incentive to swarm. Care must be taken to see that there is a queen in every colony. If she gets lost or is killed, another must be put in her place, as the colony will run down very fast if left queenless. Never feed bees during the day, it Matters not whether there be one col- ony or many. It causes confusion, and the bees frequently get cross and go to •atinging anything they come near. • In getting bees that have swarmed back into a hive much loss may be pre- vented by stretching a piece of strong canvas on the ground and setting the hive upon it and then shaking the bees on it. One of Florence's Jokes. That genial comedian W. J. Florence had a habit of promising a man a fish or some game when he was abort starting on a hunting or fishing trip. Day after day would pass, and the game would not be forthcoming. But almost every day a letter or telegram would come saying that Florence had not forgotten; that Florence was just about sending the game; that there was no cause for worry, as a fine fish or deer was on its way to the express office, At first this solicitousness would cause courteous letters and tele- grams in return. As the delay got lon- ger the victim would get impatient and would finally be literally haunted by huge fishes or de a*, "with the compli- ments of W. J. Florence." Then some fine day, when it was least expected, the fish or deer would come. Beef Tea. It is the suggestion of a trained nurse, whose beef tea was most acceptable to a patient to whom in any previous ill- ness it had been repellent, that the beef should be broiled before the juice is extracted. A thick, lean, juicy steak from the round is broiled over a clear fire perhaps two minutes on each side, after which it is cut up into small squares, put Into a saucepan, covered with cold water and set on the back of the stove, where it should steep, not boil, for fully t -v -o hours. Remember not to add the salt until the dish is tak- en from the fire and serve it hot unless, of course, it is to be offered as cold or iced beef tea. THE HANDY FOLDING RULE. An Old Standby of the Mechanic, In Greater Demand Than Ever. "There are about a million different kinds of rules," said a dealer in hard- ware and tools, "the rules being some- thing of well nigh universal use in one form or another in pretty much all trades, but here's one old standby that we sell more of now than ever, this be- ing the folding rule. "There are plenty of rules that fold, the commonly known two foot rule being a familiar example, but this par- ticular old rule that I speak of is known by name as the folding rule. "It is made in foot long sections, in various lengths, ranging from two to ten feet and over ten, if required, but three feet, five feet, any number of feet, the rule, whatever its total length, folds up completely into a bundle a foot long. The slats are thin and fold- ed up, and even a ten foot rule takes up littIe room. It can be quite conven- iently carried In the pocket. "Lots of people use folding rules— plumbers, for instance, in measuring pipes and in measuring places for pipes. In measuring a distance great- er than the spread of the arms with a tape two men are required, but one man can measure with a folding rule as far as the rule can reach, and with such a rule he can, single handed, measure around corners or in the an- gles of wall and ceiling or in any other bend or crevice. We sell lots of them nowadays to electricians, who use them in measuring for wiring houses, and we sell them to various other users, the six foot rule being the one most commonly sold. "Such rules, of whatever length, are sold by the foot, at 8 cents a foot."— New York Sun. FLOWER AND TREE. Pruaing to excess or too frequent or too long is weakening to the tree. When a blanch is removed, the cut- ting should be close, leaving no stub. The apple, pear, quince and thorn can be grafted one on another, with va- rying success. Wqrmy fruit in the orchard is best disposed of by the sheep. They eat all without making any choice, as pigs do. Planting a few trees every fall or spring, as may be convenient, helps materially to keep up a supply of good fruit. The cherry, peach, apricot, nectarine and almond require a light, dry and warm soil, but may be grown on loose, sandy soils. Saltpeter is recommended as a quick acting fertilizer for flower beds that seem to be languishing, especially those that show small and pale leaf- age. Peach and plum trees are both less liable to diseases when grown in the poultry yard. The trees will make a better growth and at the same time afford shade for the fowls. Geraniums that have been used for summer bloomers will not flower again until the late spring months. Gerani- ums for winter blooming should be grown especially for that purpose by keeping the flower buds nipped off un- til August. Love at First Sight. We talk of love at first sight, but what shall we say of people who have never seen each other marrying and being not unhappy? "Courting," said an Irishman, "is like dying—sure a man must do it for himself." In some countries—as, for instance, Sweden—this is not the case. There the marriages of young people are made for them by their parents, and they only begin to court when they are wed- ded. This sounds wrong and absurd in theory, but it often works well In prac- tice. Indeed young people ask the ad- vice of their parents much too little about that which is perhaps the most serious and important undertaking in life—marriage. Too many of them are like the young lady who said she hoped she might be cut into ten thousand triangles if she did not know more of everything than did her mother. So they consult no one and insist on gain- ing experience at a great cost to them- selves.—Philadelphia Ledger. An Alphabetical Ad.

"Now, I'll tell you something that will save you the trouble and expense of bringing this gun to me again," said the expert gunsmith to the owner of a .22 caliber magazine rifle, the barrel of which had become so foul that it would not shoot true. "The rifles of this gun are not lead- ed. They are simply caked up with powder. All small caliber rifles get that way when ordinary, soft bullets are shot out of them. This caked pow- der is as hard as steel, and if I were to try to get it out with instruments I would ruin several dollars' worth of tools. Water is the thing to use. Wa- ter is the greatest solvent known, but very few people, particularly people who handle guns, seem to appreciate it. They nearly always try to clean their gun barrels with oil when water will do the work twice as well. "You use this rifle mostly for shoot- ing frogs, don't you? I thought so. That is what most men use a .22 cali- ber for. And you sometimes shoot it several hundred times a day, and you find it too much trouble to wipe it out every few shots. Ain't I right? I knew it. Now, let me tell you what to do. Get a small syringe that you can carry in your vest pocket, and after every ten or twelve shots squirt a syringeful of water into the barrel of your gun from the breech, then shoot a cartridge out of it while it is wet. If you w91 follow this plan, you can shoot your gun 10,000 times and never need to clean it. The water softens the powder that has accumulated in the rifles and the bullet forces it out. "Use plenty of water in the barrel of your rifle, very little oil in the lock, and never under any circumstances put coal oil in the works, and you will save yourself much vexation and always have a smooth working gun."—St. Lou- ts Republic. Anecdote of Sims Reeves. An operatic singer tells the following little known anecdote relating to the late Mr. Sims Reeves: About the mid- dle of the sixties, while the eminent tenor was living in a hotel of a town on the south coast, he made a wager with another guest that be would black his face, proceed to the beach and sing a few of the songs which had made him famous without recognition. Sims Reeves duly disguised himself and ren- dered to a sparse audience "Tom Bowl- ing," "My Pretty Jane," etc.; but, strange to say, he did not receive much in the way of appreciation or financial tributes from the beach loungers. Hat in hand the tenor approached an elder- ly gentleman who was standing apart and requested a trifling honorarium, but the stranger had recognized the great vocalist despite his ebon hued skin, and he replied with decision: "Not this time, Mr. Sims Reeves! My wife is mad about your performances, and you have, cost me many a guinea. You have just treated me to the luxury of listening to you without any ruin- ous expense being attached." "Confound you," said Reeves, "you have made me lose my bet! Come to my hotel and have a drink." The stranger accepted the hospitable invitation. Children's Meals. Children should be taught to be reg- ular at their meals and to take nothing between meals. This rule applies to infants as well as to older children. The practice of feeding the little one every time it cries is a most serious in- jury to its weak digestive organs. An infant's stomach, though it needs food at more frequent intervals—two to four hours, according to its age—requires the same regularity which is essential to the maintenance of healthy diges- tion in older persons. The irregularity usually practiced is undoubtedly one of the greatest causes of the fearful mortality of infants from disorders of the digestive organs, as appears in our mortuary reports. Cornmeal. Before using cornmeal In a bread al- ways scald it to soften its starch. There is not time enough during the baking for this to be done properly. Do this by scalding half of the milk or water you use, then pour it hot over the cornmeal. Next add the eggs, the rest of the cold liquid, then the Sour and baking powder sifted together.— Good Housekeeping. Pepper. The value of pepper was known of old. We read that when Rome d to be ransomed from the barba con- queror in the year 400 Alarlc de 3,000 pounds of pepper among the pa meats and that Hippocrates used it in medicine. applying It to the skin. T THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD & SON. ;SATURDAY SEPT. 21st, 1901. Four boys left Pine Island Sunday afternoon, armed with a dirk and revolver, headed for Buffalo to seek Leon Czolgosz and avenge the, presi- dent's death. Their money gave out at Oregon, Wis., and they were re- turned home by the local authorities. • In age they ranged from ten to 'thirteen years. Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of • office on Saturday at Buffalo. The following pledge is characteristic of the man: In this hour of deep and terrible national bereavement I wish to state that it shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policy of President Mc Kinley for the peace and prosperity and hounr,of our beloved country. The estate of Senator C. K. Davis has been administered by the probate court of Ramsey County, Mrs. Davis being the sole heir. It inventoried at *28,361.21 personal property and 345,120 real estate. The Hight Rev. 11. B. Whipple, bishop of Minnesota, died at Fari- bauit on. Monday of neuralgia of the heart, aged seventy-nine years. He was the first bishop of the diocese, elected in 1859. President McKinley passed quietly away Saturday ]horning, at a quar- ter past two o'clock. His last words were -Good-bye, all; good-bye. It is Gods way. His will be done." Judge Ell Torrance, of Minneapo- lis, was elected commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic .at•Cleveland last week, upon the first ballot. The Inter -State Fair will be held in LaCrosse next week, beginning on Monday. A good exhibition is promised, with reduced rates" on the railroads. • F. A.

The Kansas City Talking Machine Co. has issued a new song by Hattie Nevada, entitled The Maid of Mexico. Price twenty-five cents. • 'fhe Methodist conference will he held at Chatfield 'next week. From the beginning of the Pan- Atnerican Exposition, Minnesota has displayed an enterprise that has put to blush many of her sister states. She was early in the .field with a beautiful building which contains an elaborate educational exhibit, the largest made by any state at the ex- position. The model of the new - 63,000,000 state capitol at St. Paul in the dairy building. sculptured in butter, is the wonder and admiration of thousands of visitors, and the Minnesota booths and exhibits in the various buildings all attract favorable attention. Minnesota is now adding the crowning feature of all by re- producing in fruit the original his- toric Ft. Snelling, built in 1820, at - the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, six miles above St. Paul. There has been a ' popular impression that the climate of Minne- sota is so severe as to preclude the production of fruit, but that idea is now being rapidly dispelled by re- sults. Minnesota has an active horticultural association which is not surpassed by any state in the union, and that stimulates fruit pro- duction. At the annual meeting of a few weeks ago it was shown that over one million bushels of apples were raised in Minnesota last year, and the quality of the fruit is un- surpassed anywhere. Plums, grapes, and many other fruits are raised .in profusion, and at no distant day _Minnesota will be as famous as a fruit state as it 'now is as the Bread and Butter State.—Buffalo' Express. A Brutal Outrage. Three children of Mr. Robert Bos- ley, living on Coon Creek, Wis., were brutally murdered last Sunday, and the house burned. The eldest was a girl of sixteen, and the boys were aged eight and four years. The out- rage 18 supposed to have been com- mitted by Louis Murgaw, a half breed, who had been paying attention to the girl,- which was not reciprocat- ed. Mr. and Mrs. Bosley started with Murgaw to pick cranberries, and after going about a mile he turned back. IE is presumed that he visited the premises, assaulted his sweet- heart, and then added murder and arson to the other crime. If captured he will undoubtedly be lynched. Mr. Bosley was an old resident of Nin- inger, in this county, removing last fall to take up a claim in the woods. Mrs. N. M.

"My poor man," said one of the wom- en sympathetically, "you seem to suf- fer agonies." "Sure, mum," he answered, "I have the rheumatism." "Is there anything I could do for your asked the kind hearted women, "We -1-1," slowly muttered the patient, "I would like to have my face shaved, but I haven't the coin." The women held a hasty consulta- tion, and one of them finally drew a crisp $2 bill from her purse. Turning to the patient, she said, "There, take this, and may you soon get better." Her wish was evidently gratified, for the next day when she called at the hospital to see the good effects of a shave on the rheumatic patient she was told that shortly after she had left on the previous day he had shown such marked improvement that he said he was able to get up and hurriedly left the hospital before a barber had been summoned. It was evident that the $2 bill had wrought the wonder.—Balti- more Sun. The Discovery Of Eleetrlsdty. Children rub together bits of amber picked up from the ground and find that when rubbed these small pieces of waxlike substance are excited to at- tract particles of light substances, like straws and feathers. Could anything be more elementary or seemingly fur- ther removed from the mighty mechan- ical developments of the electrical powers which now surround us? Yet that simple frictional play was the starting point of all we now possess electrically. It lay by as a child's sport for ages—lay by for Sir Isaac Newton himself to look at, removed only to a box with a glass lid contain- ing paper figures, which would move when the glass surface was excited by friction. A little later, and the flat glass surface became a tube, a globe, a globe revolving•on a frame, a machine, an electrical battery, and so steadily onward until, each step marked by a gentle advancement upon advance- n3ent, lightning and thunder them- selves were the inventions of man as well as of nature. The Moors and Their Morals. In appearance the Moors are a very One race. For many generations their mothers have been chosen for their beauty. An active life in the saddle has developed them physically and a splendid appearance is the result. In addition, they have manners of un- equaled suavity and polish, the result of earljf years spent in the harem. They are so habituated to think well of themselves as followers of the true prophet that an uneasy conscience never troubles them. A man may be an utter scoundrel, cruel and licentious, and yet be regard- ed as a saint 1! he is descended from the prophet and conforms to the out- ward ceremonial of Islam. His brow Is frank and unclouded, his smile 1s even benevolent, and yet it would be 'impossible to describe the details of his life. Such are the Moors—an Interest- ing tableau vivant of many a chapter in the book of Judges, or Samuel or the Hinge.—African Review. Asylum Notes. O. B. Gould, of the board of con- trol, and C. H. Johnston, architect, came down from St. Paul Wednesday to look over the proposed extension, the excavation being nearly completed by the inmates, and the foundations will be commenced at once. The superstructure is to be let by contract. The new wing will be one hundred and forty-eight and a half by one hundred and one and one-half feet, and of better construction and finish than the old one. DEFECTIVE PAGE Lodge Directory.

That evening he sat before Capta Saunders' tent, with the captain, t wife and Miss Moore—the girl in gra To the east of the camp ground ridge rose in a gentle slope. To t southwest, seemingly towering ju over them, was the mountain. I'earce's heart beat faster as t thought came to him that 30 years b fore white tents had marked the fo of the ridge as they did that day. B then they had stretched for miles no and south. "Captain;" he said, turning to San ders, "it is easier to get up the rid than it was once. There are no men blue there tonight." "No," the captain replied, "but tl sons of some of those men are there pointing to the company street. 1 which blue clad figures lounge "Loyal? Without doubt. Listen:" The bands, which had united for th evening concert, had just struck u "The Star Spangled Banner." Whe the air was recognized, a cheer aros from the tented wood. "Hear that?" said the captain. "Wait," said the girl in gray. "For what?" Pearce asked. "They will play 'Dixie' after awhile. "What then?" "Then they will yell," she said, tool ing at him with a bright smile and nod ding a confident "You'll see or hear.' And he did. When the national ai was finished, there was a brief wait Then the quick, stirring notes o "Dixie" started the woods into life wit sharp echoes, which were drowned b one long, loud yell. Pearce looked at the girl to receive a expected "I told you so." But she wa not looking at him.

Take your knife blade and scrape off a little of the loose powder, catch it on a clean glass slide and place this on the stage of a good table microscope. Use a quarter inch objective lens and Illumi- nate the fleld with a cone of light from the concave side of the reflector. The powder will be seen to consist of a confused mass of beautiful tiny shells, many of them of the most curious form. A better way, however. Is to rub down a portion of chalk with an old toothbrush in a tumbler half filled with water. if you desire to prepare sev- eral slides, rub on about a teaspoonful of the powder. Shake the tumbler briskly, allow the sediment to settle for a moment and then carefully pour off the milky looking water. Repeat this until the water remains clear, and you will then have left in the bottom only perfect shells or large parts of shells. Take up i♦ small pinch of this deposit and spread it carefully over the center of a glass slide. Dry over a lamp and, if you wish to pre- serve the slide for future use, mount it in Canada balsam, pressing out the. bubbles of air beneath the cover glass.

Don't you think that she can love a northern man just a little—if he is not a Yankee?" She studied the arrangement of his necktie closely, and then transferred her scrutiny to his watch chain. But evidently she was not thinking of either, for when she spoke she asked: "Illinois people aren't Yankees?" "Certainly not!" he replied, with con- viction. "They are a long way from Yankeedom—more than 1,000 miles." She examined the necktie again, look- ed into bis eyes for a moment then over his shoulder, off into the rain.

With perhaps a sudden thought of her surroundings and of a stormy day 40 years before, she replied, "I-1 sur- render." The rain, as if to hide the scene from any possible observer, fell more heavily for a moment. Then it ceased alto- gether, and soon the sun shone through from a blue sky where the gray clouds had parted. n e n h above the tents and shouting with al their sturdy lung power. "I wonder," he mused, "if she bate the north as she loves the south." When the tumult bad ceased, he turn ed to Saunders. "Well, captain," he said, "what do you say to that?" "Of course, they love `Dixie,' " said the captain earnestly. "So do I. But there is no deeper meaning in that cheer tlian the love of a memory. They are loyal." Miss Moore said that she must go back to town. "As ft is late, 1 shall have to leave my horse with you, captain. 1 shall send for him tomorrow. I reckon I can walk to the train in this rig." She looked down somewhat doubt- fully at her riding skirt. Pearce said that he would be glad to go with her, and though it was not apparent in just what way be could overcome the disad- vantage of the long dress, she seemed to be grateful for his escort. Well, that was the beginning of it, and the end is not yet. An incident that occurred under a large tree in the old Confederate fort on the mountain may give a hint of the trend of events. Pearce and Miss Moore were under the tree because it was the shelter near- est when rain suddenly began to call, and it rained probably because a num- ber of young folks of tbe city had come up on the mountain to spend a Septem- ber day that promised in the morning to be pleasant. Mr. Pearce was not in good humor. [Ie and Miss Moore bad separated themselves from the others. One topic of conversation bac) led to another, which in this instance was a declara- tion by Mr Pearce that he was irre- trievably in Love with Miss Moore and that if she refused to make him happy he shauld be forever miserable. At a critical stage of this declaration a rain- drop kissed the girl's cheek. "Oh, it's going to fain!" she cried. The next instant the downpour be- gan, and both rushed through a breach in the earthen wall of the fort to the tree, whose branches, to which the leaves yet clung, offered protection.; There they stood In silence for several minutes. she busily brushing raindrops Gender of the Sword. Among the many curious notions ob- taining among the different races using the sword may be noted the gender of the weapon. In the north of Europe it was either masculine, as In Britain, or neuter, as in Germany, while in the south it was uniformly feminine. Its force and cruelty appealed to the north- ern mind.

Shortly after the Chinese exclusion act was passed the secretary of state received a letter from Pennsylvania, signed by a Chinaman. The writer said that he had been Interested in this legislation and that he fell within the conditions of this act. He had come to this country under false pre- tenses, and hence he should be deport- ed immediately. The request was so strange that the secretary of state or- dered an Investigation. The agent re- ported a few days later that the Chi- naman's statement about the way in which he entered this country was cor- rect and that be' should be deported. There was just one drawback to this programture, however. The Chinaman had been convicted of murder and sen- tenced to life imprisonment. - How Fortress M Was Built. Tbo manner of constructing the fort at Old Point Comfort is interesting and throws some light on customs and practices then in vogue. The work was almost wholly done by slaves who were brought to the place by their masters and leased to the engineers in charge. The slave owner received 50 cents a day for each slave, and the government furnished each "laborer," as the slave was called, with two suits of working clothes, a pair or two of shoes. rations; quarters and occasionally a little tobac- co. The "laborers" worked with very Little .clothes and generally without shoes. They lived in barracks and were subject to a kind of military discipline. The owners were regular in coming in to collect the hire for their slaves, from which we may infer that the "constitu- ents" of those days knew how to appre- ciate a good thing to a degree worthy of the present generation.—Leslie's Weekly. Care Ia Making 'Ages. An ax is subject to rigid tests before It is pronounced perfect. The steel must be of the required temper, the weight of all axes of the same size must be uniform. all must be ground alike and In varionil other ways conform to an es- tablished standard. The inspector who tests the quality of the steel does so by hammering the blade and striking the edge to ascertain whether It be too brittle or not. An ax that breaks dur- ing the test Is thrown aside to be made over. Before the material of an ax is in the proper shape it has been heated five times, including the tempering process, and the ax when completed baa passed through the handl; of about 40 work- men, each of whom has done something toward perfecting It. After passing In- spection the axes go to the grinding de- partment and from that to the polish- ers, who finish them upon emery wheels. 1m Luker and poutlee they brut the tser.—Atchison Globe, A DECORATIVE NOTIOf' The Use of Melon Seeds Is Odd,tbnt by No Means a Bad Idea. That absorbing desire to make some immediate practical use of everything, even though the labor expended is worth more than the whole result, ,has caused the introduction of many rdither curious materials as decorative media. The melon seed, however, standsilre- spectabiy among these materials,.,and when carefully manipulated its effects may be not only highly decorative,; but really artistic. The dried seed, of course, is meant, and the sketches show ways in which it has been used In connection with beads. These de- signs are for borders hanging, for in- stance, at the lower portion of a velvet workbag or for introduction in any - MELON GEED AND BEAD DESIGNS. thing which is usually pendent, be- cause the whole point about melon seeds is that they must hang. The little ball shape or disk shape bunches may easily be made by run- ning the needle through the ends of a large number of seeds. On the other hand, if a smaller number were used they could be sewed close together at one end, and the outside ends could be threaded one after another on to a cot- ton and held in position by little knots. To go into detail, for instance, in the case of the upper figure the process is as follows: First, our background is marked out with the design. The de- signs are, of course, not full size in the drawings. When the outlines are clearly put down, we start with the needle and stout thread by putting on one of the bunches of melon seeds, then a large knot, three small globular beads, a large pearl bead and a stitch into the material. This is the first which has been made. This point thoroughly secured to the background, five small beads and one large one threaded on, and another stitch is made in the material. Then eight small beads following the little scroll, then a stitch in the material between, say, every two, then a large bead, surround- ed by smaller ones, with almost every alternate stitch through the material, in order to keep the decoration safely in place. Then a knot, and we start round the edge of the heart shape piece, and so on. In the borders of the second figure it is not necessary to stitch down to the background, espe- cially if the weight of the beads at the diagonal lines, and especially below where the bunches of seeds are, is sufficient. In this the design is par- ticularly graceful, and here the swags will actually hang without any assist- ance from stitches, because the weight of them is pretty evenly distributed, Picture Hanging. In hanging pictures be careful that the screw eyes are put in sufficiently near the top of the frame to give only a very slight inclination forward. Like many other small matters in the ar- rangement of rooms, there is a distinct though generally unacknowledged sense of discomfort induced by the cross lines and differing angles, especially„ when many small pictures are hung together. It is, by the way, quite as much of a mistake to crowd.pictures as anything else. A fair wall space' around each one adds greatly to its effect. Ice Cream and Muskmelon. Ice cream is served in tiny melons about the size of an orange. A piece Is cut from the top to serve as a 'cover. A narrow ribbon is passed through silts in this and tied in a bow upon the top as a means of lifting the cover. ICE CREAM SERVED IN MUSKMELON. The seeds are removed and the melons chilled on ice.

DEFECTIVE PAGE One Way to Boll a Ham, The following is the recipe of the fa- mous John Chamberlin of Washington for boiling a ham: "To boils ham a la Chamberlin, the night before put the ham in a tub of cold water, fleshy part downward, skin part up. Next morning put the ham in a large kettle or pot of cold water to boil. Let the water get hot gradually and continue to cook the ham in a slow boll, scarcely more than a simmer. At the end of five hours take the ham out, throw the water out of the pot and fill it with fresh cold water. Put the ham back immediately and let it simmer or loll slowly five hours more. Then add, according to the size of your purse, a gallon of vinegar or a gallon of claret or burgundy or champagne; theu sim- mer or boil for three hours more. Then take the ham off, skin it and put in a cool place. Next morning trim it and eat when you are ready. "To prevent the ham from tearing or the water suddenly boiling too fast it is always safe to sew a piece of cotton cloth tightly around the ]lam so as to fit as close as a glove. This will keep the meat firm and guard against the neglect of the cook in letting the water boil too fast."—New York Herald. A Clever Woman's Answer. "Do you not consider your husband the most graceless sinner in existence?" This question was asked the wife of a gay Lothario by a rival for his affec- tions while playing a game called "can- dor." The stillness became intense and every pair of eyes grew rounder as those present looked from one woman to the other. It was the husband's ,voice that broke the silence. "Your question is out of order, Bea- trice," he said quietly. "It is a rule laid down in courts of law that n wo- man is not required to testify against her husband." In the confusion that followed as the game broke up the man sought his wife's side. "What .should you have replied to the query of the fair Beatrice if I had not come to your rescue so neatly?" he demanded. "I should have said you were a sin- ner, yes, but a graceful rather than a graceless one."—l,ippincott's. Slow but Inexorable Justice. In October, 1900, Pietro Giaconi and Marie Bonelli were tried at Itome on a charge of sextuple murder by poi- soning committed 31 years before. In England Eugene Aram was hanged for the murder of Clarke 14 years after the offense. A man named Horne was ex- ecuted for the murder of his child in the eighteenth century no less than 35 years after the offense. There is also the well known case of Governor Wall, who was executed in 1802 for a mur- der committed in 1782. Sherward was hanged at Norwich for the murder of his wife after a lapse of 20 years. But Sir Fitzjames Stephens recalls what is the most remarkable case of all. He prosecuted as counsel for the crown iu 1863 a man who was charged with stealing a leaf from a parish reg- ister GO years before—that is, In 1803. In this case the prisoner was acquitted. The Strength of n Shark: Given special advantages, such as that of holding the end of a stout rope at the other extremity of which is a hook fixed in a shark's mouth, man may, with the assistance of a number of his fellows, have the best of the shark. But alone and in the water the advantage is wholly and absolutely the Other way, and the strongest swimmer and the bravest heart fail when the tyrant of the sea seeks to make his ac- quaintance. The shark is a creature gifted with great strength, a savage temper, dog- ged perseverance and exceptional pow- er of jaw. The lion and tiger may mangle, the crocodile may lacerate, the bulldog may hold fast—the shark alone of living creatures possesses the power of nipping off a human limb at a clean bitt.

Secrets of Coffee Making. • Experiment has disclosed the fact that one-fourth of a teaspoonful of me- dium strength vanilla added the last thing before serving to enough coffee for four persons improves it 50 per cent. The secret of perfection is to use enough vanilla to cover the strong cof- fee flavor, yet not enough to be de- tected. A pinch of salt in coffee bas long been my secret for a certain delicate flavor that every one likes, but I did not know until recently that I had In some mysterious way stumbled upon the modus operandi which has made the coffee of Norway "superb." In that country the coffee is roasted fresh every morning in a covered shovel kept in constant motion over the lire. A bit of salted butter added after the roast- ing process is begun gives it an inde- scribable flavor as delightful as it 1s subtle. The French, too, have made their reputation for excellent coffee by using butter while roasting it. A piece of butter the size of a walnut, with a des- sertspoonful of powdered sugar to three pounds of green coffee, is the proportion used. This is said to bring out both flavor and aroma and, more - oyer, gives the slight caramel taste which tourists remember to have en- joyed nowhere but In France.—What to Eat. All Cork.

HOW THEY ARE EVOLVED AND THE ENERGY THEY POSSESS. Inhabitants of Compactly Hui Cities Mane Little Cause to Fe These Mysterious and Destruct' Balls From the Clouds. Without doubt lightning was the flr electrical phenomenon that was obser ed by human beings. To this day remains the least known and least u derstood of natural electrical manife tatious except, perhaps, the aurora. There is a vast deal of popular mi conception concerning the danger lightning and the nature of }t. Th lightning flash is a dischl&ge from cloud at a high potential with refe enee to the earth. When the atmo phere is charged with water vapor au some eddy or current in its colder u per strata is deflected downward, eau ing condensation, exceedingly minut drops of water are formed, each bea Mg an electrical charge. The consol dation of these into larger drops result in a very great increment the poten tial of the charge since the capacity o the drop varies with its diameter an the rolume of the drop with the cub of the diameter. The consequence of this is that i takes, for example, eight drops consolf dated to make one of twice the diaine ter of the constituent drops, and th charge on the surface of the consolf dated drop will be four times as grea as that upon the surfaces of its ,ele ments. In this way, as the small wa ter particles unite to form drops which fall as rain, the potential of the charge they carry increases until It attain enormous values, and 'the lightning Nash leaps to the earth, which may b regarded simply 1 S as a A Ybody of ver great electrostatic capacity. The dis charge, which Is called lightning, i apt to be more or less destructive, al though the energy of an Individual flash is perhaps not very great. Often the conditions are such that the dis- charge takes on an oscillating charac- ter, producing violent surgings of cur- rent. No very accurate measurements have been made upon the current in- volved, but it is taken to be of the or- der of 1,000 to 5,000 amperes. The electro motive force necessary to cause a flash a mile long is probably several million volts; and of course the power of the flash measured in watts is very great, but its duration Is correspond- ingly short. Protection of property and Life -from ligbtlifng flashes has been a subject th };,',has entrained the attention of nes-,.rai' philosophers since Franklin sent up his historic kite. The net re- sult of more than a century of attempt to secure protection has been the light- ning rod In its more or less inefficient forms and the discovery that buildings of modern construction, having metal- lic roofs and often metallic frames as -well, are practically Immune from at- tack by lightning. The total number of deaths due to lightning in any given summer is com- paratively very small—In the ratio of about one to each 200,000 population in the United States. In cities the de- structive influence of lightning is ex- ceedingly small, although occasional fires are caused by it, especially where gas pipes abound. Protection of electric circuits from lightning has been- an interesting sub- ject for research for a number of years, and several highly efficient devices have been constructed for this purpose. Today 1 ehtning is little feared by the station rtperintendent sad- should be • very little feared: by' any one: The time honored rule that it is wisest to keep in the open and not. seek the shel- ter of trees is one which common pru- dence dictates. Recourse to the feath- er bed of our ancestors, however, is no Ionger necessary except' to quiet the nerves of timorous persons, while the ancient supersti: ions regarding han- dling steel instruments and sitting in drafts may be utterly disregarded. A modern building in a city is as nearly absolutely lightning proof and those in it are as nearly absolutely protected from lightning as is possible.—Electric- al Review.

Keeping Butter. Good butter will keep sweet for many weeks when it is placed in a crock after being made into rolls. wrapped in strong cheesecloth or old muslin and then covered with a brine strong enough to bear up an egg. Saltpeter and sugar may be added to advantage while the brine is still hot in the pro- portion of a teaspoonful of the former and a tablespoonful of t':o latter to ev- ery four quarts. The brine must, hoe -- ever, not be poured upon the butter until It is entirely cold. Tough World. "I tell you," said the curbstone moralist, "this is a tough world."

There is an old wine merch� t in New York who .has a curious coKectlon of old bottles. One, which he believes to be the old- est bottle used for bolding liquor in this country, came from Nassau, in the Bahamas, originally tilled with snuff. It is made of a coarse, seaweed colored glass and is shaped somewhat like a chestnut standing upright upon its broad end. There is a broad bottomed bottle which held madeira in Charles- ton in 1810 and a Viennese bottle 125 years old, whose slender,, graceful curves have been supplanted today by a more commercial shape. The first American gin bottle, from the Scbueli- adt estate, has a pouter pigeon shape, which is delightful t•:, the eye. Among the later bottles are rame which constitute th.e product of the bottle maker's art when Impressed glass came into use. On each side fig- ures are molded into the glass. There are a number of "railroad bottles." On one a wagon runuing on rails and drawn by a horse is'depicted on both sides, with the motto, "Success to the Railroad." On another the same primi- tiverarrangements are shown, commem- orafing the railroad at Lowell, and on the reverse of the bottle a spread eagle Imbedded i ni th rteen stars. t s. George Washington figures on one bottle, upon the reverse of which was Zachary Taylor, who, so says the glass, "never surrenders." A spread eagle: and what appears to be a Masonic shrine, a fruit basket and horn of plen- ty and two tree, one in leaf, the other bare, representing "summer" aid "win- ter," are both two faced designs. A large, round -bottle, which in these days would contain Holland gin, is impress- ed with a series of monks at their prayers. It was called the "apostles' bottle," but it drew fire from the pope, who had it put, by edict, out of general use.—American Wine Press. ENGLAND'S SEA GYPSIES. A Strange Little Tribe That Lives Always on Boats. A strange and almost unknown part of the population (if it can be called that) of the British isles is the queer semiwild folk known as sea gypsies. Real gypsies they are, differing from their fellow gypsies in the fact that they always live on the sea and that, never having mingled with landsmen, their type is much purer and more nearly resembles the original. There are about 500 sea gypsies in Britain. They cruise along the coast, seldom touching the land, but always close to it, in old and weatherbeaten craft that may have carried their grandfathers. When the tide is out, the old craft will often drop anchor by a sand bank island far out at sea, and her crew will grub for cockles with their hands, fill- ing a score of baskets, but saying noth- , ing to each other, for {hey are almost out of the habit of speech. They find fifty shellfish where the ordinary fisher- man finds one, but they rarely do the same thing two days running, and in the next hour they may be snaring rab- bits on a headland miles away. i+ The sea gypsies are wild eyed and i thickset. Their hair is always either jet black or golden. They are still of almost pure Norse or Danish descent, never having used the land and mixed with the shore folk to any extent. Their hands seem to be all thumbs in- stead of fingers, so powerful and stubby are the digits, because they have done nothing but haul ropes and dig in the wet sand.—New York Press. Tried and Convicted Too. Politics in the west, even more than in the east, says the author of "Life and Sport In California," is a profes- sion. d remember two men who were candidates for the office of district at- torney. One had served before: the other was a young man conducting his first campaign. The veteran was speaking in a small town, and after setting forth his own claims he spoke as follows of his oppo- nent: "I understand that Mr. X. is in every sense a worthy and honorable man, but I ask you to remember that he has never been tried—he has never been tried." "That's so!" exclaimed a voice. "You've been tried, old man, haven't you—and convicted, too, you know?" After due inquiry it appeared that the veteran had been, indeed, indicted fer horse stealing and convicted. He was not elected. Norway Fairies. "Like the Japanese," writes William E. Curtis in the Chicago Herald, "the Norwegians are very superstitious, and as in Japan the forests, the moun- tains and the gorges are peopled with fairies. Nissen is 'the good fairy of the farmers. He looks after the cattle par- ticularly, and if he is well treated they are healthy and the cows give lots of .milk.

At intervals of eight or ten mil along the public highway, usually 1 connection with the skyds stations, a Inns where the traveler will invariabl find the comforts if not the luxuri of life—plenty of food and shelter, be and board. There is no upholstere furniture or velvet carpets or eggshe china, but always neat lace curtains a every window, sometimes in the- wi dows of the stables. A luxurious American will have t deny himself much that he Is accu tomed to at home and will encounte experiences and customs that are ne and novel to him. But if he is reason able in his requirements and behave himself like a gentleman he will a ways meet with a hospitable althoug a homely welcome. The Norwegian h tel keepers measure our appetites b their own and give you so much to ea particularly at the noon dinner, tha you are stupid and sleepy all h P teres of the day and snooze in your carriag when you ought to be admiring th scenery. There is no style about the hotels and the service is poor. The househol work is all done by the landlord an his wife and daughters. There are n electric bells, and if you want any thing you usually have to hunt for i and help yourself. It is the custom o the country Y tthe travelers to mak Zhemseives at home, and you are some- times compelled to look after your ow luggage or it is liable to be left. Bu you will recover it again after a time The people are honest, considerate an unselfish, but unpretentious in thea hospitality. There are no locks on thei doors, for none is needed. Burglar and thieves are absolutely unknown. The bedrooms are barren of orna ments and easy chairs that we are ac customed to at home. There are n carpets and no rugs on the floor. Al the appurtenances are plain and sub stantial, without any effort at show and very little idea of convenience The beds are good, but usually the only cover is a comfortable seven or eigh inches thick and as heavy and un wieldy as a feather bed. You can' tuck it in at the bottom or at the sides and it is always sliding off to the floor It is too much covering for an ordinary sleeper, and when the nights are warm as they often are, you are compelled to. choose between a chill and suffocation The pillows are another nuisance. There are usually a bolster of feathers about the size of a barrel and a little bit of a 4 by 9 pillow an inch or two thick, with pretty trimmings upon it. The big pillow is too big, and the lit- tle one is two small, and you solve the dilemma by rolling up your overcoat into a ball and using that instead. There is plenty of fresh, heavy, home- made linen—large, square towels that have been woven under the same roof during the long winter days. The breakfast is abundant and often terrifying. You are at first confronted with five or six different kinds of cheese, an equal variety of cold meats, tinned fish, smoked herring and salm- on, cold boiled ham, three or our kinds of cold sausage, strips of dried rein- deer meat and half a dozen different jams and preserved fruits. You are expected to partake freely of that sort of provender and usually do so until you learn by experience that dried fish, 'boiled eggs, veal cutlets and other hot flood will soon follow if you are pa- tient. The coffee is usually good, and there is always an abundanee of rich, thick cream. There is no warm bread, but five or six kinds of cold bread bak- ed from wheat, rye and oat flour, be- sides the national "flatbrod," which Ito Norwegian table is ever without. The dinner is a formidable affair aft- er the fashion of the ordinary Eu- ropean table d'hote, with soup, fish, roast, salad, preserves and pudding, while for supper you get the same as- sortment of cheese, cold meats, fish, sausage and preserves that you have had for breakfast and two or three hot dishes. Fish is the staff of life and salmon the mainstay. It Is served in some form at every meal, fried at breakfast and supper and boiled for dinner, with strips of cold smoked salmon of a deep rich color on the side at all meets. The lakes and rivers are well stocked with salmon trout, which are caught in nets and kept alive in tanks until they are needed. You enjoy them the first five or six meals, but after you have had them seventeen or eighteen times in succession they begin to lose their relish. Beer is the ordinary bev- erage. Everybody drinks it. Claret and Rhine wine can be had at the lar- ger hotels, but never any whisky, brandy or other strong liquors. Local option prevails throughout Norway, and in the country districts the sale of spirituous liquors is forbidden.—W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record -Herald. Heat and Cold.

Chevalier, the well known artist who accompanied the late Duke of Edinburgb on teeny of his tr}Uvels% was once going from Duneillek to; Lyttelton, New Zealand. by steatilelt, Anxious to catch the earliest gilmpsg of the coast he went on deck at dawn and was alarmed to see that the vessel was heading straight on to the land. Calling the officer's attention to the fact, be was told that it was only a fog bank. The artist maintained his point, but the second officer looked and confirmed his.mate. The artist then said: "Well. gentle- men, I will back • my artist's eye against your sailor's eye. and I say that what you mistake for a fog bank is a low range of hills, and there is s range of mountains appearing abot'e them" But he was only laughed at. until the captain conning on deck found in the growing light that the artist was right and the seamen wrong. 'the ves- sel was out of its course, and there was only just time to avert disaster. The helmsman was dismissed in dis- rrace and the course given to the uew steerts>n, but the vessel's head still pointedltindward—the compass was all wrong. The cause was discovered later. A commercial traveler had brought a box of magnets on -board and deposited them lo a stern cabin, causing what might have been a fatal tieliection of the compass. To return to the question of inter- pretation. the artist was dealing with the appearances which his eye was trained to see and his wird to inter- pret. A speckeck on the horizon might t have remained a mere speck to him .ong after the sailors had interpreted the speck Into a vessel of definite rig. There can be little doubt that the trained eye is accompanied by a sort of mental seeing, an Instinct outrun- ning optics. THE CHICKEN YARD. No henhouse that is frequently dust- ed with lime will be infested with lice. Lime purifies the quarters and dries them. It is cheap and should be used plentifully. Always have the nests so low that the hens can step in rather than be obliged to jump down. If the fowls get too fat. eats as a sin- gle food are one of the best grains that can be given to lessen fat. Mating birds to breed to a feather is a high art, to be acquired only by long practice, aided by close study. A flat perch is best because of being the most comfortable to the feet and the best support to the breast. There are three breeds of fowls that are pre-eminently valuable as egg pro- ducers. These are the Minoreas, Leg - horns and Black Spanish. A medium sized active male is twice as valuable as one that is large and extra heavy. If large size and weight are desired, select large hens. but the male should be active and vigorous. • When a fowl has canker and the mouth and throat are sore and ulcer- ated, wrap a soft rag around a lead pencll, dampen it slightly, dip in chlo- rate of potash and swab out the mouth clean and inject a drop of turpentine. What Comes After Suicide? On the whole, it is something of a pity that some of these fellows who cut their throats, blow out their brains or swallow poisons in order to rid them- selves of their troubles cannot cothe back, so they might tell others who are troubled whether relief lies in that di- rection or not. It is more than proba- ble that what they then could tell would deter other reckless men and women from following in their foot- steps, -and for tbat, if for no other rea- son, their return would be welcome. As Hamlet Implied, It is better to bear the ills we know than to fly to those we know not of, and there isn't much doubt that the suicides are not long in finding that out.—Philadelphia Inquir- er. The Peach Legend. Almost all fruits and flowers have their legend. One about the peach comes from Japan and tells bow a poor, pious old couple were searching for food by the roadside. The woman found a peach, which 'she would not eat of, -though starving. till she could share it with her husband. He cut it exactly In half, when an Infant leaped forth. It was one of the gods, who had, be said, accidentally fallen out of the peach orchard of heaven while playing. He told them to plant the stone of the peach, and it brought them happiness, friends and wealth. How a Plant Protects Itself. One little plant of South Africa pro- tects itself by assuming a curious like- ness to a white lichen that covers the rocks. The plant has sharp pointed green leaves. These are placed close together, with their points upward, and on the tip of each leaf is a little white, scaly sheath. The resemblance of the smooth surface these present to the lichen growing on the rocks, be- side which it is always found. Is so great that it is not till you tread on it that you dlscover the deception.— Fortnightly Review. Of Two Evils.

Like the roads of the ofd Romans, they run straight on through everything—ridge and moun- tain and valley—never shying at ob- stacles nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet within this general straightforwardness there is a singu- lar eccentricity and indirectness in de- tail-, Although the African footpath is, on the whole, a bee line, no fifty yards of it are ever straight. And the reason is not far to seek.- "If eek."If a stone is encountered, no na- tive will ever think of removing it. Why, should he? It is ettsiew_to walk around it. The next man who comes by will do the same. Ile knows that a hundred men are following him. He looks at the stone a moment, and it might be unearthed and tossed aside; but, no, he holds on his way. It would no more occur to him that that stone is a displaceable object than that fel- spar belongs to the orthoclase variety. Generations and generations of men have passed that stone, and it still waits for a man with an altruistic idea."—Spectator. The Right Arm and Left Foot. The right arm is always a little lar- ger than the left, but the left foot is almost always larger than the right, presumably because while nearly every man uses his right arm to lift a weight or strike a blow he almost invariably kicks with his left foot, while the lounger stands on his left leg and lets hisright fall g t easily, because he has learned by experience that this is the best attitude he can assume to prevent lassitude and fatigue. This constant bearing of the weight on the left foot makes it wider than the right, and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on the right foot and gets a close fit has to discard the shoes altogether because he cannot endure the pain caused by the tight- ness of the left. If when riding on the street car you will take the trouble to notice, you will see that in laced shoes the gap is much smaller on the right foot than on the left, while with button shoes the buttons have to be set back ten times on the left shoe to once on the right. - A Tussle With English. The pitfalls of the English tongue to a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom- an who has undertaken housekeeping in New York thought she had a good working knowledge of the language, but soon discovered her mistake. One day she called a carpenter and planned with aim to have some work done about the house in the way of putting up shelves, etc.. and she went over the ground with Min as carefully as -possible, to get f: ,in Jilin an estimate of what it would cost. After the work was done the bill sub- mitted was considerably in excess of the sum first named. The Frenchwom- an endeavored to remonstrate, but only succeeded in making the following re- markable statement to him: "You are more dear to me than when we were first engaged." — New , York Sun. Almonds. The world's almond crop, exclusive of those raised in California and the west, comes from Italy. Sicily, Ma- jorca. Spain, France, Portugal, Mo- rocco and Algiers. The highly prized Jordan almonds come from Malaga, Spain, and not from the Jordan river, as many people suppose. The common almond is the most indigestible of all the nuts and contains very little nour- ishment. There are many nays, how- ever, in which it is advantageously used as a desert or as a flavoring. One peculiarity about the almond tree is that its leaves contain prussic acid and are therefore poisonous, while the fruit may be eaten with impunity. A Sure Thing Sport. A well known politician on setting out for a day's sport with a friend pointed to a large spaniel which lay apparently asleep in the hall and bet his friend a guinea be could not at- tract the dog's attention. The bet was readily accepted, ,and after the failure of a shrill whistle and a blank cartridge to cause the slightest movement tie guiuea was delivered up. "That's ;lay old dog Mahatma 1 had stuffed a few weeks ago," laughed the politician, "and that's the tenth guinea he's brought me."—London Tit -Bits. Italian Bees.

"No, thanks," said the sad faced man when he was asked to join a coavisal party. "The fact Is, I don't drink. Found I couldn't afford it, so I swore off. A number of years ago I lived in the west. I was doing well, and I had a bank account that I was proud of. Seeing a chance to double my money, I decided to draw it out. The day was a warm one, and, becoming thirsty, I stopped to take a glass of something cool. I didn't waste more than five minutes and was soon in line at the paying teller's window. The party ahead of me received his money, and I was shoving my check through the window whet the teller pulled It down and announced that the bank has sus- pended payment. I believe that the receiver declared a dividend a year or so later, but the amount was so small that I never botheredto collect mine. It was a pretty expensive drink for me." "Do I understand, sah," said a Ken- tuckian who was present, "that you took that drink alone?" "Certainly." "It was the judgment of heaven, sah," remarked the Kentuckian 001- emnly.—Detroit Free Press. An English Country Bank. Rural customers attach great im- portance to the bank's s outward ap- pearance. A thrifty tradesman having opened a deposit account with a bank distant some 30 miles from his home, the cashier had the curiosity to ask why he traveled so far when there was a branch of the same bank almost at his door. The depositor smiled know- ingly and replied, "I lodged opposite here all the tlm,e while this bank was being -built, so I know it's safe."

George Manville Fenn is the pos- sessor of a sheet of old fashioner' blue wire woven note paper, which had its habitation for years upon the bill file of the tradesman to whom it was sent. It tells its own tale: "Mr. Charles Dickens is much obliged to Mr. Claridge for the offer of Lord Byron's flute. But, as Mr. Dickens cannot play that instrument himself and has nobody in his arouse who can, he begs to decline the purchase, with thanks. Devonshire Terrace, twen- tieth June, 1848." There is no vIsi111e mark of a smile upon the paper, says Mr. Fenn, but there seems to be one playing among the words, and one cannot help think- ing that when Dickens wrote that he could not play the flute he must have recalled a certain flute serenade played at "Mrs. Todgers' Commercial Board- ing House," writttn by him in 1844.— New York Tribune. Perfumes Were Popular. The rage for perfumes reached its height during the reign of Louis XV. Throughout the continent his court was known as the "scented court." It was then, the custom when giving a large entertainment flr the hostess to inform her guests what particular odor she would use for perfuming her rooms, and each guest would use that odor in making her toilet. At court a different perfume was used for each day of the week. Much more attention was paid to the use of the perfume than to soap and water, and cleanliness was not numbered among the virtues of that age. How Pearls Are Sorted. The average diver thinks it a fair day's work to secure 100 pearl oysters in 50 feet of water. After being taken ashore the mollusks are allowed to die, when their shells open of their own ac- cord. The pearls are classified by pass- ing them through a series of sieves, which assort them into different sizes. Those which are very small or de- fective are sold to make a preparation for sore eyes and nervous complaints that is very popular in the east.—Pear- son's. Superstitions About Sneezing. Xenophon, Progiothefs, Tbemistocles and Cicero regarded a sneeze as a fa- vorable omen. Among the Hindoos and Persians, however, sneezing and yawn- ing were ascribed to demoniacal pos- session. The Hindoo snaps his thumb and finger and repeats the name of one of his gods. The Moslems believe that the devil may leap Into a gaping mouth, and hence when he yawns be draws the back of his hand over his mouth and mutters this prayer, "I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed."

Some Propositions That It I■ Safe to Bet Against. There are many things which at first thought appear to be easy enough of accomplishment that it is pretty safe to bet a man he cannot do. Most people know that the human hands are not strong enough to break a new laid egg_ if the hands are clasped and the egg laid endwise between the palms. It is said that the pressure required to break an egg in this manner amounts to tons. Among other safe bets is a wager that a man cannot rise from a chair without bending forward or putting his feet under the chair or outside of it. Many a man will back himself to give another a start of 50 yards in a dash of 100, provided the man having the start bops all the way. But no runner, however swift, can give that amount of start to an ordinary Y a man. For first st five yards they go at practically the same pace. Therefore the runner, to go 95 yards while the "hopper" goes 45, would have to run more than twice as fast, and it would be a weak man who could not hop 45 yards at a pace equal to 20 seconds for 100 yards, and that would mean that the runner in order to win would have to beat all previous records. If a man boasts that bis penknife is particularly sharp, ask bin) to cut with one stroke of the blade one of those yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which come around bundles of cigars. In 999 cases out of 1,000 the ktife Is not sharp enough to do this. It will cut through all the ribbon but the last strand, and that will pull out long, and the more he tries to cut It the longer it will pull out. It is safe to bet any one except a blind man that he cannot stand with- out support of any kind for five min- utes at a stretch it be is thoroughly blindfolded without moving his feet. If be does not move his feet he is pretty sure to topple over in about a minute. Snails as Window Cl "An old colored woman sellingsnalls," says the Philadelphia Record, "occa- sionally makes her appearance in South street, and sometimes she may also be found along Front street or Second street, up In the district that used to be known as the Northern Liberties. She carries an old basket in which the snails repose on freshly sprinkled leaves. These are not sold as food, but for cleaning the outside of wi> low panes— an old practice still in vogue in Ken- sington. The snail Is dampened and placed upon the glass, where it at once moves around and devours all insects and foreign matter, leaving the pane as bright and clear as crystal. There are old established business place in Ken- sington where the upper windows, when cleaned at all, are always cleaned by snails. There is also a fine market for snails among the owners of aquariums. as they keep - the glass clean and bright." For Popovers. The value of a recipe lies partly in its being accurately set down and fol- lowed. Harper's Magazine bas the fol- lowing directions for making a break- fast delicacy called popovers, as tbey were imparted by the Chinese servant t to a lady visiting in the family. "You takee him one egg." said the master of the kitchen, "one lit' cup milk. You fixee him one cup flou' on sieve, take pinch salt—you not put him in lump. You move him egg lit' bit slow; you put him milk In, all time move. You makee him flou' go in, not move fast, so have no spots. Makee but'led pan all same wain), not too hot. Puttee him In oven.

The controversy in the city council over the proposed sidewalks on Sibley Street was compromised on Monday evening by ordering them laid on both sides, between Sixth and Eighth Streets. This will leave a break between. Fifth and Sixth, • but nothing further can be expected, at least this season. Sibley Street is one of the leading thoroughfares for our town people, and would be travel- ed even more if the roadway was in better condition. The Stillwater Gazette says that Vancouver, B.

How the Material That Gives the SbI,alag, Metallic Finish to Mirror and Picture Frames I■ Produced. Ooli Leaf Without Gold. -''How many persons who see the shin- ing gold in colored printing and on mirror and picture frames know that gold does not enter at all into the com- position of the stuff that produces these golden effects? The ' shining metallic effect is pro- duced by a fine powder tnade from a mixture aff bronze and spelter. This offers the cheapest and best means of giving the rich surface demanded in wall papers, printing, lithography, fres- coing and in a vast range of manufac- tured articles of wood, paper and iron. The material used is so called Dutch metal, an alloy of copper and spelter. The relative proportions bre varied to produce different colors. The larger the percentage of spelter the lighter or more yellowish will be the tint of the alloy. The copper and spelter are smelted in graphite crucibles containing about 400 pounds of metal, which, when plete y fused, Is run off Into m forming half round ingdts two long by half an inch In thickness. er cooling these are bound into bu and sent to the rolling mill, where are passed cold nine times thron double set of steel rolls under mous pressure.

Man and Labor. Lady Russell, 1n her volume, "Swal- lowfleld and Its Owners," points out that in 1820 the Berkshire estate came into the hands of Sir Henry Russell, who had been a friend of Dr. Johnson. It was at Russell's table that one day the doctor maintained that "no man loved labor; no man would work If he could help it." Reynolds objected and gave Pope for instance. But Pope's in- spiration, said the doctor, "was the love of fame and not the love of labor. Le- ander swam the Hellespont, but that doesn't prove that be loved sWlmming."

They come and go mysteriously, although their going is frequently marked by exasperating delays, and there are al- most as many infallible cures as there are warts, the only trouble with these cures being that they are useless when applied to the particular wart you hap- pen to have. They are only good for other people's. "In my opinion," said a clubman, who was discussing the subject with a friend one day, "a wart is merely the outward correspondence of some men- tal excrescence. Get rid of that, and It goes away. "Let me give you a bit of my own ex- perience," he continued. "Last year I Fent to Europe. For about three years I had had a wart on my little finger, on which I had tried everything I could hear of, but without effect. It only grew larger. "Well, in the excitement of prepar- ing for the trip and of the journey it- self I forgot all about my wart, and tvhen I looked for it about six weeks Fater it had vanished without leaving the slightest mark. I simply forgot it, and it had no mental condition to feed on. I see you have one on the back of your hand. Forget all about it for a few weeks, and it will go away of it- self," "Yes," said the other clubman, shrug- ging his shoulders, "but I can't afford to take a trip to Europe for the sake of curing one wart." -Youth's Compan- ion. Giving Her a Lesson. The habit of describing things as "awfully jolly" was amusingly satir- ized by a gentleman who came home prepared to chat on events of the day. An acquaintance had failed in busi- ness. He spoke of this incident as "de- liciously sad," He had ridden in an omnibus with a friend whom he de- scribed as "horribly entertaining," and to crown all he spoke of the butter which had been set before him at his restaurant as "divinely rancid." "Why, dad, you are going off your head!" said his youngest and most im- pertinent daughter. "Not in the least, my dear," be said pleasantly. "I'm merely trying to fol- low the fashion. I worked out 'di- vinely rancid' with a good deal of la- bor. It seems to me rather more ef- fective than `awfully sweet.' I mean to keep up with the rest of you here- after. And now," he continued, "let me help you to a piece of this exqui- sitely tough beef," -London Telegraph. The Man Faced Crab. One of the most singular looking creatures that ever walked the earth or "swam the water under the earth" is the world famous man faced crab of Japan. Its body Is hardly an inch in length, yet the Bead is fitted with a face which is the perfect counterpart of that of a Chinese cooly, a veritable missing link, with eyes, nose and mouth all clearly defined. This curi- ous and uncanny creature, besides the great likeness it bears to a human be- ing in the matter of facial features, is provided with two legs which seem to grow from the top of its head and hang down over the sides of its face. Be- sides these legs, two "feelers," each about an inch in length, grow from the "chin" of the animal, looking for all the world like a colonel's forked beard. These man faced crabs fairly swarm in the inland seas of Japan. A Devoted Mother. Although looked upon as vermin and destroyed accordingly, the weasel is a good mother and probably treats her young ones more kindly than many of her human enemies treat theirs. A weasel, carrying something in her mouth, was once seen to enter a hole in a tree. The observer, applying lighted straw, soon smoked her out. She then darted toward a stone wall, near which she was attacked by a terrier, which speedily slew her. She fell an easier victim because of the burden she bore in her teeth. Anxious to see what this was, the onlooker went forward and found it was a baby weasel. The moth- er's nest in a field close by had been plowed up, and she had been searching for another home. As her youngster could not run she carried it in her mouth rather than leave it to perish. The Adornment of an Arab Girl. Arab girls before they enter the harem and take the veil are a curious sight to behold. Their bodies and face are dyed a bright yellow with turmeric. On this ground they paint black lines with antimony over their eyes. The fashionable color for the nose is red, green spots adorn the cheeks, and the general aspect is gro- tesque beyond description. -"Southern Arabia," by Mr. and Mrs. T. Bent. Cologne Cathedral.

The vegetable ivory nut of commerce is the albuminous seed found In the drupes of a dwarf palm. From these nuts European turners fashion the reels of spindles, small boxes and many other little fancy articles, which can be colored with sulphuric acid. - 'Chambers' Journal. 1 Antlprofanity. 1 In Switzerland and Italy good people go about with little cards containing pledges against swearing.

No one may count up the tears th were shed, the moans that were ma the hearts that were broken in tho dreadful times, but here and there o of the great mass of human misery h tory has preserved a record of the tri and sufferings of some hapless on reading which we shudder and the God that we live in happier days. Some few years after the reign terror—as this outburst of sin a madness was well named—a, man middle age entered a small inn in Ge ninny and called for refreshments. II manners were timid and shrinking, a he looked as if he might just have r covered frau some terrible illness— was so strangely, ghastly pale. The landlord supplied his wants, an half curious, half in kindness, he ma some remark as to the stranger's a pearance, coupling it with the que tion, "Do you want aught else for yot comfort?" "Nay, nothing." said the pale ma hastily. "I have food and light an air. What couki I want more?" An he sighed deeply. "My friend," said the landlord, sea Ing himself, "you speak as if you ha known the want of these things. Hav I guessed aright?" His guest looked up. "Would you hear my tale?" he ask- ed. "For years I have kept silence, but today it seems as if it would lighten my heart to speak. Listen and believe it If you can. Less than seven years l ago. I was a gay, light hearted youth in this our quiet fatherland. Having no near relations, I was led to visit some distant ones who bad lived for many years in a small town in France. "My uncle, as I called him out of friendliness, was a kind. good fellow, tee. well known and respected in the place, where he carried on the craft of a watchmaker, and he proposed that I should become his apprentice and part- ner. I liked the little town, I liked my uncle, I liked my aunt, and 1 soon gave my consent. They had no children -1 thank God for that now—but my aunt's kiudly soul could not be content with- out young people around her, so she kept and clothed two house maidens, children of some poor neighbors. Trim and neat they looked, too, wearing the costume of that part of Germany from whence my aunt came, a pretty fancy of her own. It seemed quaint enough in a strange land. "It was a happy household. No won- der 1 was glad to belong to it. But, alas, it was soon to be swept away by terrible affliction! For some time we had heard of strange troubles going on in Paris and the large towns, but our little place was still quiet. One morn- ing, however, we woke to find every- thing in confusion. Our innyor had been ordered to resign, and his place was to be filled by some one sent from Paris. "Still, we never dreamed of what fearful misery this was the forerunner. We had vo time to dream, either, the blow fell so suddenly. There had been a stir going on In the market place for the two days following the arrival of the new official, but my uncle and 1 were busy over a discovery which he had made in our trade, and we were less than usual in the streets. "At noon on the third day, however, be went out for a stroll to rest his eyes and look about him for a few moments. My aunt and her maidens arranged, as usual, the midday meal, and we were all ready to sit down, only my uncle was missing. He was usually so punc- tual that we wondered and waited and at lest we dined without him. At the close of the meal I stepped out to look for him. "1 had not got a dozen yards from our house when I met our baker's wife. her eyes staring out of her head. "'Go back!' she said. 'Go back! It Is too late. The monster, the wretch! He bas executed the honest man, with- out even the farce of a trial, on the ac- cursed guillotine yonder!' "I was petrified with horror. Could she be speaking of my uncle, so re- spected, so quiet as be was? It was too true. The wretch In office had lost no time, but had begun his work of bloodshed at once, and my uncle was his, first victim, bis only crime being that he was of foreign birth and had sheltered under his roof some months since a poor Swiss. I retraced my steps to the house. My aunt's anxious face met my troubled gaze. She bad begun to suspect evil. The two girls waited fearfully in the background. 1 tried to speak, but I turned away and burst in= to tears. I was young then, Master Landlord, and bad tears to shed. My aunt passed into by and rushed into the street straight to the market 1‘' • I could not follow. What happened there was told me later. "Wild with agony at her husband's fate, my gentle, loving aunt had burst into a flood of reproach of his murder. Iu those days this was crime enough for the heaviest punishment, and be- fore evening she had fared the same fate as my uncle. or of eiz- en nd ed- ace at de, se ut is- als es, uk of nd of c- is nd e - he d, de p- s - 1r n d d t- d e nThe reign of -terror had indeed gen with us. The girls had tied, to fled at the fate which had befall their protectors, and I was meditati in a half stupefied way the same me ure when a knock came at the doo and two men, who had often eaten a drunk at my uncle's table, came in and made me a prisoner, confiscating all the possessions of the family to the state. "In those days a man's foes were of- ten they of his own household. I of- fered no resistance. The shock of the day had completely unmanned me. I made certain that I, too, should die that night. But my time was not yet came. "In consequence of the lateness of the hour I was taken to the town pris- on a dismal building, d which I hadnev- er g, ey er known to be occupied, There I was thrust into a deep dungeon and left in total darkness till the morning, when 1 doubted not I should be conducted to the same cruel fate as my poor rela- tives had met. But morning came, as I had guessed by the sound without, and still net summons. Worn out with sus- pense and waiting, I fell asleep. When I awoke, hunger and thirst oppressed me. Happily I had stored some bread and meat and a small bottle of wine in one of the pockets of my coat prepara- tory to my intended flight. Of this 1 now ate and drank. No one came nigh me, and yet I could hear sounds as if wretched prisoners were being led forth Out of neighboring cells, doubtless to death, for they wept and pleaded vain- ly as it seemed to me. "But the third day a great stillness fell on the prison. I could not under- stand it. My senses were enfeebled for want of food, for my small stock had long been exhausted, and I almost lack- ed strength to wonder why I was left to live so long. Presently arose an aw- ful terror lest this should be my sen- tence—to perish miserably for want of food in this damp dungeon. Death on the scaffold appeared light by compari- son. I clamored at my prison door. 1 shouted as loudly as I could, all to no purpose. Then I burst into an agony of tears. My fate was too dreadful to bear. With the soft nature of my outh I pitied and bemoaned myself orelyr, All at once words came into my mind that I had learned years ago s a text ,n the school, 'Fear thou not, or I am with thee; be not dismayed. or I thy God.' "Tiley came like a ray of light into y prison, and I clung to the promise s if it bad that moment been made to e by a pitying God. I felt soothed nd hopeful, and in this condition ank back in a doze or swoon. "How time passed I could not tell; ay and night to me were alike in my ell. I woke up to find light and armth and kindly faces about me. lowly I regained consciousness enough o understand what they told me. I ad lain five days forgotten.

Certain things are good for nothing until they have been kept for a long while, and some are good for nothing until they have been kept long and used. Of the first wine is the illus- trious and immortal example. Of those that must be kept and used I will name three—meerschaum pipes, violins and poems. The meerschaum is but a poor affair until it has burned a thousand offerings to the cloud compelling dei- ties. Violins, too—the sweet old Amati!-- the divine Stradivarius! Stained, like the meerschaum, through and through with the concentrated hue and sweet- ness of all the harmonies which have kindled,and faded on its strings. Now, I tell you, a poem must be kept and used like a meerschaum or violin. A poem is just as porous as the meer- schaum; the more porous it is the bet- ter. I mean to say that a genuine poem is capable of absorbing an indefi- nite amount of the essence of our own humanity, its tenderness, its heroism, its regrets, its aspirations, so as to be gradually stained through with a divine secondary color derived from ourselves.—Oliver Wendell Holmes.

It is no wonder that so Much care bas been given by nature to the appa- ratus for the respiratory function, for we know perfectly well that man has lived as much as sixty days without food, he has been forced to exist for some time without water; but. alas, without air death must come in a brief space of tlmel . For instance, in 175(1, 14(1 persons were confined over night in n small space not larger than 5.900 cubic feet, with only two little windows on one side. Within an hour all broke out in a profuse sweat. They were tortured with thirst and difficult breathing, and in three and a half hours the majority were delirious- Then when the morn- ing came forty-three only lived to tell the tale. Another extreme case was ut the battle of Austerlitz. 'Three hun- dred captured soldiers were confined in a small cellar, and within a few boars all but forty were dead. The reason is self evident. The air was in- sufficient for the demands of each in- dividual, the poisonous exhalations from'the body were tbrown off through the lungs, and a most agonizing death ensued- It behooves us, then, most carefully to consider in arranging for the ventilation of homes, hotels, hos- pitals and jails not only that a proper quantity of pure air shall be allowed free circulation, but also to be watch- ful lest this pure air shall be vitiated by -retained Impurities. A great many investigations have been made to ascertain the relation of air to disease, and perhaps the simple statement of the fact that among all industrial classes those are healthier and have the lowest death rate who are gardeners, farmers, agricultural laborers and fishermen—in other words, those whose occupations are carried on In the open air—will be a truth all can understand. • at a Leeson, then, to all who may have families of children to rear!

One of the special pleasures of ama- teur photography is the taking of por- traits of friends and members of one's own family. Snapshots out of doors are all right in their way, but the ambi- tious young photographer will not be coutent without attempting to secure portraits where the lighting and shad - Ing of the face are under his own con- trol. The average amateur, however, la- bors under the difficulty of not having suitable windows for securing a proper light. The best -must be made of the conveniences at hand. A skillful ma- nipulation of curtains will often bring very satisfactbry results from what ap- pear to be unpropitious circumstances, says a writer in The Ladies' World, who Illustrates, as samples, arrange- ments of this kind. The illustrations, he tells us, are giv- en, however, not so much to show hard and fast positions of curtains for secur- ing a well lighted portrait as to furnish suggestions that may be varied to suit the different conditions to be found in different houses. The common -trouble in portraits tak- en near a window in one's home is too high a light on one side of the face and too deep shadows on the other. The first cut shows how the light entering the window lights up not only the side of the face toward the window; but is thrown down in some degree upon the top of the head and reflected back FOR A WELL LIMITED PORTRAIT. upon the side of the tae in shadow, re- moving too great a blackness In the lat- ter. The curtain can be raised or lower- ed until the light appears just right. The second cut shows another way to arrange this curtain so as to get the reflected light a little upon the top of the head and quite strongly reflected upon the side of the face in shadow. Where the light Is very strong, front a window, perhaps, upon the sunny sid of the house, it may be necessary to u a dark curtain over the lower half 0 e window. The overhead curtain is of white cloth, while the background curtain may be either dark or light to suit the dress of the sitter or the light that may be thrown upon the sitter's face. A window on the north side of the house, if large enough, will give the best light, but interior arrangements may make it necessary to use one on the sunny vide. In this case control the entrance of the light by curtains— thin white ones to keep out direct sun rays and dark half curtains to keep out too strong a light of indirect sun rays. Study the lighting of the sitter's face by changing the curtains to different positions until the light falls on both WITS A /5BONG REFLECTED LIGHT. sides in a well balanced combination of light and shadow. The proper han- dling of the curtains once established for any given window, there will be much less need of experiment in subse- quent trials. The Lighting of the s ibject being ar- ranged, It now remains to the amateur photographer to give the proper posing to the sitter. What positions are most artistic? Will a profile bring more ar- tistic results, or will a full face be more effective? To the photographic mind there is always a perfection to be striven for, an ideal photograph, where the lights and shadows blend In one harmonious whole. The Modern Dollies. The modern housekeeper delights in doilies. She now collects these exqui- site bits of fine linen with the same en- thusiasm with which she once collected. souvenir spoons. The three kinds of dollies most used today are the tumbler, finger bowl and plate doily. The average size for the tumbler doi- ly is 4 by 5 inches, the finger bowl doily 0 inches in diameter and the plate doily either 10 or 12 inches. The most ex- quisite doilies have centers of the sheer- est linen and an edge of ducbesse lace. Other fine doilies have a border of point de venise. The crepon lace for doilies is also much used and Is decid- edly pretty in effect. The lace doilies are the best style at present. Doilies embroidered in colors are but seldom used. If possible, never fold dollies and cen- terpieces. Let them each have in the linen closet a separate box for their exclusive keeping which is large enough to hold them unfolded.—House- bold.

The man who would like to know something about astronomy must lay out a little scheme of study for him- self, get the books which are neces- sary and have them at hand the mo- ment he is at leisure. The man who wishes to familiarize himself with po- litical economy, with politics or with industrial questions, which are now of such tmtportance, must find out what textbooks he ought to have, secure those textbooks and keep them by his side.

Almost all the great classics are now published in such portable forms that a man can carry a play of Shakespeare, the essays of Bacon, the poems of Ten- nyson or of Browning, a translation of "Faust," Matthew Arnold's criticisms, Emerson's essays or John Burroughs' charming transcriptions of nature in his coat pocket and substitute them for the newspaper which is thrust in his face by an eager newsboy and which he buys because he has nothing else to read.—Success. One Hopeful Sign. While I was living in California, writes an Englishman, I had the oppor- tunity of noting the extreme considera- tion shown to employees by California employers. I cannot recall an instance of a cruel and cutting rebuke from one in authority to a clerk or sereent dur- ing the seventeen years of my stay. A friend of mine had a clerk who was always forgetting important du- ties. Letters would be forgotten, Im- portant entries on the books omitted, and messages even were sometimes not delivered. Said my friend to me one morning: "Really, I must speak to ,Jahn." So John was summoned, and I won- dered what manner of rebuke would fall upon his head. "John," said my friend, "it is most astonishing what a very bad memory you have. But I believe that In titne it will improve, because I have noticed that you have never once forgotten to draw your salary on the first of the month," John took the hint, and after that my friend was more faithfully served. Antiquity of the Water Pump. The water pump of today is but an Improvement on a Grecian invention which first came into use during the reign of Ptolemies Philadeiphos and Energetes, 283 to 221 13. C. The name, which is very similar in all languages, is derived from the Greek word pempo, to send or throw. The most ancient de- scription we have of a water pump is by Hero of Alexandria. 'There is no authentic account of the general use of the pump in Germany previous to the beginning of the sixteenth century. At about that time the endless chain and bucket works for raising water from mines began to be replaced by pumps. In the seventeenth century rotating primps, like the l'appcuham engine, with two pistons, and the Prince Ru- pert, with one, were first used. Pumps with plunger pistons were invented by Morland, an Englishman, in 1674, and the double acting pump by 1)e la Hire, the French academician. Funny Speeches. Grose relates that Caulfield, meeting Mr. Thomas Sandby, said: "My dear Sandby, I'm glad to see you. Pray, Is it you or your brother?" It was a Spaniard who remarked ingeniously that an author should always write his own Index, let who will write the book. Edgeworth relates the story of an English shopkeeper who did pretty well in the direction of the bull proper when, to recommend the durability of some fabric for a lady's dress, be said, "Madam, it will wear forever and make you a petticoat afterward." This is quite equal to the Irishman's rope which bad only one end because the other had been eut away.—Temple Bar. Coffee Drinking Denounced. As early as 1663 coffee was satirized In England, and on every hand the bit- terest invectives were applied to it by the press and pulpit. In one instance a preacher hurled anathemas at the heads of those who used as a beverage "a sirup of soot and essence of old shoes!" Probably he had good grounds for this statement, having sampled some boiled coffee. Another divine de- nominated it "a poison which God made black that it might bear the dev- il's color!" The women also took up the cudgels against it. Folding Linen In Holland. Folding linen is an accomplishment in which each one of the women in Holland is expected to be proficient before she becomes mistress of a home. In Holland especially the folding of linen requires considerable skill and training. Much of their fabric is of the finest texture and quality, and they fashion the various pieces in ironing into birds, animals, flowers and all manner of artistic shapes. Their linen closets are often shown .to visitors with the"same pride that china closets are shown elsewhere. Never Wanted to Be at Home, "Oh, you men, you men! When you used to call on me before we were mar- ried, it was all you could do to tear yourself from me at midnight. Now you are never so happy as when you are away from home."

An Arrangement of Special Int t III Light Housekeeping. When one must make a single room do double or treble duty, as often oc- curs in light housekeeping, an excel- lent idea suggested in The Household will come into play. ' Have a set of shelves built by a car- penter as high and long as needed to answer your purpose. These are to be placed at right angles with the wall, as A DIVIDED ROOM. ehown by the sketch, the bookcase on one side and a divan seat with pillows arranged on the other side. Quite a large screen can be formed in this way, especially If a second book- case is added or a*they one placed at right angles with the flrgt, thus fenc- ing off a portion of the room for the bed and toilet appointments. . The shelves need not necessarily be used for books on the bedroom side; they may be utilized the same as bu- reau drawers •If a curtain is hung be- fore them to exclude the dust. The seats arranged on the other side of the shelves may be common wooden boxes covered with denim or other cot- ton material, the seat formed by the cover of the box to be stuffed with cot- ton batting. These boxes will be found very use- ful for eking out closet room, which is limited when one is living in rooms or boarding. New Wedding Idea. At a pretty country wedding cele- brated last week the piazzas and lawn were beautifully decorated with hydrangeas, which the extensive gar- dens of the bride's home furnished in unusual profusion, says the New York Post. The altar arranged at one end of the parlor was beautifully deco- rated and bowered with the same blooms mingled with ferns and ever- greens. Burettes of the blossoms stood in large jars and vases In the spacious hall and banked the great' fireplace. When the newly wedded pair started away in the late afternoon, the guests lined the way from the house to the entrance gate of the grounds, every one provided with hydrangeas, and through this lane of pelting .dowers the bridal carriage was driven. It was a poetic and picturesque change from the usual rice shower. Banana Diet For Dyspepsia, An exchange tells of the success of a banana diet in a case of nervous dys- pepsia, where the patient, a woman, grew so thin as to be perilously near the danger line in weight. The diet was varied within the limit of bananas as a base. The fruit was baked and served hot or prepared as a cold jelly, was served in fritters, and biscuits made of banana flour were eaten. It was found the delicately cooked ba- nana was at first the more acceptable; but, as the woman thrived under the treatment, perfectly ripe bananas were freely eaten raw. Many food special- ists consider that this fruit contains valuable nutritive elements in an easily assimilated form. If eaten raw, to be digestible it must be used when thor- oughly ripe, but not in the least over- ripe. Novel Way to Serve Clain Chowder. At a small beach party the other day, says the New York Post, clam chowder was included in the menu. One of the three cottage housekeepers who served the supper had the happy thought to get from the neighboring bakery a quantity of common milk rolls. From each one of these, with a fork, she re- moved all the inside crumb, crisped the shells In the oven and when supper was served filled each roll cup with hot, thick clam chowder. The rapid dis- appearance of the combination testified to the appreciation of its excellence. Autumn Sporting Dress. Dresses which the fashion plates and shops designate as for the mountains, for shooting, fishing and other put, GOLF COSTUME—SHOOTING COSTUME. poses are in fact in many cases only just sensible costumes which make ex- cellent walking dresses for fall and winter, being both short and plain. The golf costume shown is a prevail- ing style and can be carried out in any of the usual materials. The shooting garb is in light brown checked tweed. Reason For Dislike. Wife—Mr. Black has no more taste in the matter of dress than a giraffe. Husband—Why do you say that? Wife—Because his wife had on the most beautiful gown last night, and when I admired it he said he thought it was dreadful. Husband—But, my dear, he had to pay ;600 for it.—Detroit Free Press.

DEEP SEA CURRENTS. MYSTERIES OF THE OCEAN TH HAVE PUZZLED THE SCIENTIST HOURGLASSES. *1 per Year in Advance. $2 per Year it not in Advance They Have Not Gone Out of Style by AT a Long shot. S. "Most people think that hourglasses Went out of style years ago," said a clerk in a Twenty-third street atote, "along with perukes and knee breeches, but as a matter of fact we have more calls for them today than we have had at any time withip the last ten years. That this renewed popularity of the hourglass augurs its universal accept- ance as a timepiece by the -coming gen- eration I am not prepared to say, but if such a renaissance were to become assured it would be no more surpris- ing than some of the other receut fads based on a revival of lost customs. Anyway a brief study of the hourglass will do nobody harm. There are thou- sands in this generation who have' not the slightest idea what an hourglass looks like, and it won't hurt them to broaden their education a little along certain lines. "Of the hourglasses sold at present the three minute glass is in the lead. This glass. is used almost exclusively to measure time in boiling eggs; and its usefulness naturally places Its sales a little in advance of the more senti- mental varieties. Next come the five, ten and fifteen minute and full hour glasses, which are bought chiefly by musicians for piano practice and by lodges and secret societies. "The sand used in au hourglass is the very finest that the world affords. The western coast of Italy furnishes most of it, as it has done for ages past. The cost of hourglasses is regulated by the ornamentation of the frames. A glass set in a plain rosewood case can be bought for $1, while a mahogany frame comes to $1.50 or $2. Of course, the price can be brought up still higher by fancy carving and decoration. Swell lodges sometimes go to this extra ex- pense, but -most people are satisfied with the cheaper grades."—New York Sun, A Theory as to the Origin and Cause of the Gulf and Other Streams—Are They the Product of Immense Sub- marine Geysers, For more than a century scient and philosophers have been vainly lug to discover the origin and cause the mysterious current in the Atla :wean called the gulf stream. Why called is not apparent, as nothing the gulf of Mexico is in its compositi There have been many theories, wh have been abandoned, some perfect absurd, such as its being caused by earth in its revolution on its axis, if it had the power to draw this stre at the rate of five miles an hour fr coast of Florida it would draw the water from the east coasts North and South America at the sa velocity. The prevailing theory is t the northeast trade winds drive a c rent into the Caribbean sea and, aid by the feeble equatorial stream, he up the water in the gulf of Mexi thence rushing around the south Florida from the source of the g stream. But there is no such a hea ing of the waters in that gulf. T waters there are sluggish, and there no perceptible current leading towa the gulf stream or anywhere else. This theory has been accepted f want of a better, but those .who fav it are not entirely satisfied with it. T gulf stream is 'an independent body water, having na connection -with t water around .or behind the poi where it emerges. It is warmer of a deeper blue than the surround) seas Cud gushes forth from the sta ing point off Cape Sable at the rate from five to six knots an hour, wi a temperature of about 90 degree lessening gradually as it proceeds its journey of thousands of miles acro the Atlantic ocean, warming the wes ern shores of Europe. Having seen the fallacy of the tb ories concerning the gulf stream, will turn our attention to the great P cine current, identical in all respec with its sister current of the Atlant and concerning which there are no th ories to contend with. It starts spontaneously from a spot few miles from the south end of th island of Formosa, in the Baushe channel, following the coast of Fo tnosa' northeasterly, past and throug the .00choo islands, skirting the coas o lapin; thence turns eastward on it ,journey across the wide war g the coast of :America fro Puget sound to Mexico. Its dark bin waters are in striking contrast to th surrounding seas, pitying it the name o Murra Suar, or black water. It is a independent stream where no combine tion of winds or currents eau possibl cause the mighty rush of warm blu water with a velocity of from five t six knots an hour from the start. In its characteristics of heat. colo and direction it resembles the gul stream in every particular. and th origin of the two streams must be th same, whatever they may be, which shall endeavor to show later on. Ther 1s another ocean current similar in al resptcts to the other two, with the ex- ception that it runs in an exactly op- posite direction. Starting from the vi- cinity of the south end of the island of Madagascar. it ruus southwesterly around the Cape of Good Hope,•where it disappears off Cape Lagullas.. As a current. probably part of it is diverted into a steady set of the eastern current. caused by the prevailing westerly winds in that region. No scientists, so far as I am aware, have attempted to account for this current. Having now proved beyond refutation that all the- ories advanced as to the cause of ocean warrents are groundless, it remains to be proved what the true cause is. It must be admitted that the currents have a similar origin, as they are iden- tical in every respect as regards color, heat and velocity. springing forth in the same manner spontaneously from the earth In some mysterious way. There is no place on the surface of the earth where the water can be heated to furnish the beat contained in these streams that gush forth from the depths of the sea; consequently the forces must be subterranean and can only be accounted for by large bodies of clear, blue water from the ocean forcing its way into the depths of the earth under its crust, where it barrows a channel of its own to the surface again, having received its warmth on the way by contact with the internal beat of the lower regions of the earth, forced on by continual pressure from behind. That there are orifices in the earth's crust cannot be denied, also what be- comes of the vast volume of water that cannot be computed which is constant- ly running at the rate of from four to six knots an hour from the Atlantic ocean, through the strait of Gibraltar Into the Mediterranean sea. The nu- merous rivers, too, are continually flowing in, and yet the sea remains at the same level. Evaporation cannot account for it, for what is evaporated is formed into clouds and is precipitat- ed again into the sea by the medium of storms and frequent rains. The water must enter the earth from the ocean through these apertures on an incline as it gushes forth in these three mighty currents and cannot be discovered by soundings; consequently these three mighty currents are noth- ing more or less than immense geysers. —Captain B.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much needed as ordinary food. All chickens want for health, growth' and good conditions is plain, nutritious' food. Even when the fowls have an unlim- ited range it is a good plan to feed them every evening. One of the first things to Iearn about poultry is that they must be kept clean and free from vermin. Peafowls ate handsome and subsist with the least care of any kind of fowls. They are prolific layers and a good protection against hawks. Raw bone contains every Part of an egg—whine, yolk and shell. Therefore it should lie kept constantly before lay- ing hens in the granulated form. One of the best ways of removing lice from fowls is to make them do it them- selves by having a lot of dry earth where they can dust themselves when- ever they feel like it. The comb is always an index to the condition of the bird. When the comb is white or very pale or very black, something is wrong. A healthy fowl show`s - a bright scarlet color in the comb.

Sadness Explained, In Liverpool; reeentll a,. -sentimental young lady was on the Cunard steam- ship .quay when she saw a young girl sitting on a trunk in an attitude of ut- ter dejection and despair.

So she went over to the traveler to win her confi- dence. "Crossed in love?" she asked sympa- thetically.

Ironmaking. The .first mention of ironmaking in Pennsylvania goes back to 1692. It is contained in a metrical composition en- titled "A Short Description of Pennsyl- vania," by Richard Frame, which was printed and sold by William Bradford in Philadelphia in 1092. Frame says that at "a certain place about some forty pound" of iron had then been made. A COLUMBUS STATUE. CIlE &P STATUETTES. The Story of a Brass Foundr: TransforrAation of Gambrinns. A story is tcld of a brass fon^.•: r who was one day visited by a fri-...d acting as agent for one of the cities of Central America. The agent a:sk: d what it would cost to cast a statue of Christopher Columbus for the public square of the city. The amount was far In excess of the sum which the roan had at his disposal. He was about leaving in despair of being able to se- cure the statue when the brass founder said: • "Come back in the junk yard and let ns see what can be found there." He went back, and the brass founder showed him a colossal statue of Gam- brinus, .recently removed from the front of a large brewing establishment. Under his feet rested a beer keg, in his hand was a large and overflowing schooner, his beard was long and shag- gy, and about his brows was wreathed a garland of barley and hops. "Why, this will never do," said the commission merchant. "I want a stat- ue of Columbus." "Wait until I have touched this one up. Come -back in about a week and see what you think of It. If it suits you, you can have it for the amount you have at your disposal." As soon as the visitor had gone the brass founder set two men at work on the figure of Gambrinus. They re- moved the beer keg from under his right foot and placed there an anchor and a coil of rope, from his hand they removed the goblet and substituted a globe, with the continents traced on it; from his brow they took the wreath of barley and hops and substituted a wreath of laurel and then proceeded to trim up his whiskers. The finishing touch consisted in putting at the base of the statue "Cristoforo Colombo." When the commission merchant came, he was delighted with the figure and, purchasing it, shipped it to the Central American city where it adorns the public square mid is looked upon with veneration by the citizens of that town. —New York Times. FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS. Particularly Guarded :Against by Firms That Handle Cotton. "Speaking of insurance matters,' said a listener, "I suppose the plain, old fashioned nail has caused more fires in the big establishments where machinery is used in many and com- plicated ways than any other little thing in existence. The only thing needed is for it to come in contact with some other bard material with suffi- cient force to cause a spark and heat generation. Nails have really produced a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of the country. During recent years, on account of steps taken by the owners and conductors of the larger cotton and byproduct plants at the instance of in- surance men, the nail has not been such a prolific producer of fires. "A way has been found, for instance, in cotton gins, cotton mills and in plants where cottonseed are put through manufacturing processes, of extracting nails and other weighty and flinty substances that may find lodg- . ment,iin these inflammable products. Gravity is the natural force used. Nails and rocks and materials of this kind are heavier than cotton and its by- products, and they have a tendency to force their way to the bottom of the heap. By allowing these products to pass over a rolling belt arrangement these heavier materials filter toward the bottom and are finally extracted, so that when the cotton or the cotton- seed passes through the grind in the various manufacturing processes there is but little danger from fire so far as these things are eoncerjed."—New Or- leans Times -Democrat. About Writing One's Name. People who sign their letters with -wild flourishes or initials only and give no address offer one of the worst of compliments to their correspondent by egotistically assuming that their hand- writing must be of such familiar im- portance to him or that they and their affairs are so present to his mind that further identification is unnecessary. Having their signature cut from the end of a letter and the address from its heading pasted on the envelope which ineloses a reply is a bad compliment •u which many persons bring upon them- selves by anunpardonable illegibility. It is a singular fact that accidental mis- spelling or mispronunciation of one's name generally constitutes a greater affront and is provocative of more an- noyance than a studied Insult.—All the Year Round.

This curious question is not in- frequently put to travelers from the east by people in this country. It is true there is not much resemblance be- tween the external appearance and management of the so called Turkish bath in England and those of the ham- mam in Turkey. Outwardly the hammam usually pre- sents something of the appearance of a domed sepulchral edifice. Of the little domes or cupolas which arise from its roof that in the middle is the highest and is set with many small windows for the purpose of lighting the bath. The massive walls that form the sides of the hammam have no windows, and it is thought that if the walls were pierced the outside air would penetrate into the interior and cause variations in the evenness of temperature which it is held desirable to maintain. The interior thus often becomes very close, as ventilation is slow, being only through the opening by passers to and fro of the double doors of the passage which leads to the cool entrance hall. Every now and then the attendants burn frankincense in the interior of the bath, with the idea of purifying the air. . The great warm hall under the wen• tral dome has generally three large niches as well as two little chambers. Each of these niches and chambers has a roof in the shape of a half hemi- sphere, which contains a few tiny glass apertures and which is joined' to the central dome roof. In all these niches and chambers there are, according to the size of the bath, one, two or three marble basins, which are fixed in the low part of the wall, each basin being provided with hot and cold water taps. Around these basins people sit on marble or wooden seats, which are raised about five or six inches above the floor, and seated thereon they have their bath. The little chambers can be engaged for private use on application. The entrance hall is square shaped and has galleries running along on each side, in which are many beds. The bathkeeper is always to be seen in his place cibse to the door, smoking his pipe or nargile and saluting the customers who come and go. In the middle of the entrance hall is a foun- tain, the pure and cold water of which is ceaselessly splashing into its marble tank. In this water fresh fruits and bottles of lemon squash are kept cool in summer time for the use of custom- ers. Near it a man may be seen always busy making coffee on the charcoal fire, for most people are ever ready to take a tiny cup of coffee at almost any time of the day. Many of the Turkish baths are built double, one portion being assigned for the use of ladies. In some places ladies go to the baths only on certain days of ,the week, which are consecrated to them, Certain baths, again, are used by them every day until 7 o'clock in the evening, after which they are made over for the use of men. The charges are very reasonable. A man can lave a complete bath and may stay on the premises of the establishment as long as he pleases by paying about ls. 8d. Ladies pay much less than this sum. Their expenses can hardly be much over sixpence, as they take all their own soaps, towels and clogs with them. What they pay is really the water fee and a penny or two for the attendant. A new feature which has been intro- duced into the old Turkish bath is the cold water douche, which it is becom- ing customary for the people to take after their hot bath.—Review of the Week. A Squaw's Remarkable Journeying. Irl the last century a Chinook Indian woman known to Father Hue, a great traveler and missionary of that period, while he was with the Indians on what we now call the Pacific coast, was many years afterward met by him in Asia. Through many vicissitudes and strange experiences she had passed from tribe to tribe and place to place, always moving northward, until she reached Bering strait, and there, hav- ing gone out in one of the large canoes used by the seafering.Indians of that region in a great storm they were driven across the strait to wreck and death to all save her, and she wandered on until she met Father Huc in the in- terior of Asia. She had not sought to return; but, following the spirit of ad- venture bred in her by her strange ex- perience, she went on to see new lands. To Magnetise a Knife. Take a pocket or table knife and lay its blade flat upon the back of a fire shovel. With a pair of tongs held firm- ly in the hand rub the blade vigorously and always in the same direction from point to base. Turn the blade over now and then, so that the friction may be applied to both sides. After a rub- bing of from forty to fifty seconds the blade will be magnetized and will be capable of lifting a needle with which it is placed in contact, point to point. The magnetization will last a long time.

THE COOKBOOK. A cup of butter weans.sixteen table- spoons. When we measure butter in a cup, we measure it packed solid. One cup of sauce means one cup of liquid, regardless of the amount of thickening and butter that you use. A novel and dainty way of cooking little new onions is to boil them and serve them on toast, similar aspara- gus. Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon until they thicken and begin to leave the sides of the pan. Add flavoring es- sences after taking the pot from the fire. After boiling a ham let it cool in the water in which it was cooked. This helps to make it more tasty, moist and tender. The same rule applies to tongue or corned beef. Sardines broiled in a chafing dish are nice for Sunday night suppers. Use just enough of the oil in the box to cover the bottom of the dish and keep the fish from sticking. When they are browned on both sides, sprinkle liber- ally with lemon juice and serve hot. Carried Further. Not long ago a lady was giving a lec- ture. Her subject was the human fig- ure and the requirements in the way of proportion for beauty. She herself was of generous—one may say unwieldy— size, and her manner was supercilious and lofty. She was trying to demon- strate the relative sizes of the limbs as they really ought to be. "For example," said she, "twice round my thumb"—she held it up— "once round my wrist; twice round my wrist, once round my neck; twice round my neck, once round my waist." Here she paused, and a shrill voice from the audience exclaimed: "Twice round your waist, once around Hyde park!" The lecturer hastily passed on to an- other branch of the subject.—London Answers. How Old Spiders Live. 'Old spiders, which have neither web nor the materials to make one, often hunt about to find out the webs 'of oth- er spiders, younger and weaker than themselves, with whom they venture battle. The invader generally succeeds, and the younger spider is driven out to make a new web, and the old spider re- mains in possession until a stronger spider invades the web and drives it out. When thus dispossessed, the spi- der seldom ventures another attack, but tries to subsist upon the few insects that may fall accidentally into its clutches and eventually dies of hunger.

EXPRESSIVE PHRASES. Those Which Foreigners Coming to America Learn to Use First, What are the most expressive phrases in colloquial English? Of the dozens that slip off English speaking tongues in the course of a day some must be better suited for their purpose and more characteristic of the race that originated them than others. When foreigners come to this country, they catch certain expressions almost imme- diately and long before they can at- tempt to steak the language have made them part of their vocabulary. It would seem, that these phrases must be the most expressive in English and that they are peculiar to the language and "fill a long felt want," since for- eigners seize so eagerly upon them. Every man or woman who lands in this country is saying, "Hurry up!" in two months. In whatever quarter of the city one may walk, Italian or Ger- man or Jewish, mothers will be dis- patching their offspring on errands, us - Ing their native speech, but closing their orders with the magic "Hurry up!" How delightfully characteristic of the nation is the phrase! It is not to be wondered at that the newcomers from the slow moving old world find that they have brought over nothing to equal it. "All right" rivals "hurry up," not because foreign tongues lack similar expressions, but because there Is a jol- ly, hail fellow well met air about "All right" lacking in other phrases of the same character. Then, too, "All right" takes the place not only of "Good," but of "Yes" and "I understand" and of a dozen. other phrases which in other languages require separate expressions. The third phrase, which alone shares the popularity of the first two, is, "It's nice." This should be interesting to purists who wish to restrict "nice" to Its first and original meaning of "ex- act." No word of ancestry sufficiently aristocratic to please them takes the place of "nice" in its colloquial mean- ing, and foreigners clasp it with joy, wholly ignorant of the fact that they are outraging the feelings of anybody by so doing. Other phrases besides "Hurry up," "All right" and "It's nice" captivate the fancy of the newly land- ed, but these three reign supreme.— New York Tribune. They Were Not Indians. It is said that when the first Chinese came to California the Indians were very curious about them. A dispute arose among some of them as to what country the strangers might hail from and whether or not they were Indians. The Indians, wise as the Puritans of old, decided to apply the water test. If the accused swam, they were witches; 1f they drownoa, they were innocent. One day a party of Indiana met a party of Chinamen approaching a lit- tle stream. The strangers approached the bridge and started across. The In- dians, too, filed across and, meeting the Chinamen in midstream, pushed two of them into the angry, spooming current below. The teat was conclu- sive. They could not swim. They were not Indians. How to Detem a Cheap Shoe, "It takes a rainy spell to show up a cheap shoe," says a shoe dealer. "It can be spotted by an observer on a rainy day, though It may have come within an hour from the store. Watch the feet of people the next time ft rains, and you can pick out the inexpensive shoes. A cheap shoe always slips when the pavements are wet. Artificial stone pavements especially show them up. The sole of a cheap, common shoe is made of imitation leather, composed of pressed paper, and water softens it and makes the wearer slide along while walking. You can always tell a cheap shoe in this way."—Indianapolis News. The Greatest Surrender. The greatest surrender in the annals of warfare was that of Metz on Oct. 27, 1870.

The state historical library y day received three valuable doua of greater importance than the age gift. The donors were Mrs uatius Donnelly, Mrs. C. K. D and E. W. Porter, the local publisher. The most valuable o three is the one given by Mrs nelly. It consists of treasures the library of her late distingui husband. First in importance is natius Donnelly's historical s book, a volume that has playe prominent part in the history of state. This scrap book is a woi ful volume.

Last Sunday afternoon N. F. W. Karpen, Andrew liamstad, and Carl Hedberg went out hunting on Swan Lake, and the trip ended fatally for Karpen: They went out after ducks, and were wading in about one . and one-half feet of water, with Karpen in the lead, Hedberg following him at a distance of about five feet, and Ramstad bringing up the rear, to the side about tweuty rods. While in this position the shot was fired that resulted in Karpen's death. After the accident happened they picked him up out of the water and placed hien on a muskrat house, and then pro- cureda wagon to take him to the place where be was stopping. Sur- gical aid was iinmediately summoned and every thing possible done to stay death, but without avail Death occurred Monday afternoon, The fuU charge struck him in the small of the back, and even the wads enter- ed the wound. His spinal cord was nearly severed, and it was at onue apparent that death was only a mat- ter of time. A coroner's inquest was held Tuesday morning, and was at- tended by County Attorney Davis and Sheriff McMillan. J. H. Karpen, Andrew Johannes, Joseph Searles, Simon Horner, ' James Door, and Adam Epper were called as coroner's jury. The ante mortem statement of karpen was that the shot that injured him was from the gun. of Carl Hedberg. This Hedberg denies, and the testimony of Andrew Ramstad does not disclose anything on this point. Katpen's gun was fished out of the lake Monday and was found to le loaded. The matter remains mysterious. and the jury brought in a verdict "that deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound, the gem being in the hands of a party unknown. " Deceased was twenty- one tears of age, his home being at Hastings, where his parents live. He is a nephew of P. J. Karpen, of his city, and has a brother, Valentine , and a sister, Mrs. Martin Schu- eiler, living in this county.

Mrs. Abbie Gardner Sharp, who was one of the four women captured by the Indians at the historical mas- sacre at Spirit Lake in 1857, was in the city yesterday as the guest of Judge h'landrau,. by whose strategy she was rescued from the redskins after spending four months in cap- tivity. Immediately after the terrible scenes of the wholesale slaughter Miss Ahbie Gardner, as she was then, was carried away witli four other girls, none of them being over fourteen years of age. News of the capture was brought to Judge Flandrau, who at the time was United States govern meat agent for . the Sioux. Ile at once couceived-the plan for their resale, which was enlriested to two friendly Sioux for execution. They spent several months with the Indians who 118(1 the girls, and finally return- ed with two of thein, 11i's. Sharp, and the other a Mrs. Marble. A curious- feature in' connection with the rescue was that the Indians who recovered the girls had been promis- ed $500 each, and when they return- ed Ju(lge Fiend ran was unable to give then tnol•e than half that amount in cash. However, he gave thein a territorial bond, which was also sign- ed by the Rev. S R. Rigs. This bond was for three months, and was paid by the territory at maturity. It was the first bond of the kind ever issued in the west. Mrs. Sharp now lives at Lake Okoji, in the very house from which she was abducted in 1857. She was taken to the historical so- ciety rooms and other points of inter- est by her host yesterday, and re- turned home in the evening.—.St. Paul Globe, 27th. As a proof that tobacco can be successfully raised in this vicinity we would call attention to the crop of G. W. McMurphy, living just north- east of this city. Mr. McMurphy be- came convinced that his land was adapted to the culture of tobacco, and resolved to put in ten acres as an ex- periment. He secured the services of an experienced man to put in and take care of the crop. The trial prov- ed a grand success, and the tobacco was harvested and now hangs in the shed without a bit of frost having touched it. The best judges who have examined this tobacco say they never saw anything finer, and place the yield at from fifteen to sixteen hundred pounds per acre. It will !)ring not less than ten cents per pound, thus making the gross earn- ings of ten acres of ground for one year $1,500 to $1,600. There is eon- siderable expense attached to the raising and handling of a good crop of tobacco, but still a very substantial profit is left.—Prescott Tribune. E. O. Bowsher, of Hastings, was in town during the week looking over the field with a view to starting a howling alley on one of the down town streets.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in. flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars tor any case of deafness (paused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75e. F. J.

The Jews were forbidden by their law to make likenesses, and so art, as we under- stand the word, scarcely had among them • an existence. There are, how- ever, two portraits which have the merit of extreme antiquity and were both probably made at some time in $lie first century. The one is cut on an emerald, the work purporting to have been done by command of the Emperor Tiberius. The jewel was preserved in the treasury of Constantinople, but in some way fell into the hands of the Turks before that city was taken by them and about 1483 was given by the sultan to Pope Innocent VIII. as a ransom for the sultan's brother. The other portrait is on a fine brass medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales, in the year 1702. The workmanship is that of the first century, and a Hebrew inscription bn the reverse declares the portrait to be that of the prophet Jesus. The two portraits bear a close resem- blance, and it is altogether probable that both are ideal and that each fol- lowed the description of Christ given in the well known but not well authen- ticated letter of Publius Lentulus. The napkin portrait called St. Veronica's is much more modern and is probably a copy of the emerald likeness. The Clerk Spoke English. The ambitious attempts of the for- eign tradesman to speak English to his American customers have been describ- ed by Mrs. Gillespie in "A Book of Re- membrance" as part of her amusing experiences in Berlin. Supplies of linen were to be bought, and we went again to the shop where we bad essayed to speak German and the shopman bad answered us with ef- fort in English. We found him affable as before, and, although we told him in German that we wanted to look at towels, he brought out some and said: "I have found it very difficult to be- come such a towel as this." We agreed with him and then asked for some other articles which he was obliged to look for in some distant part of the store. He bowed and said: "Execute me in an instant." My companion, Loolt, bought twelve dozen children's napkins, and the young man said: "Have you, then, so many young sis- ters and brothers?" Thumbs. The disparagement of ate usefnlnest and importance of the thumb implied In the expression "His fingers are all thumbs" seems undeserved in view of the important part the thumb formerly played in the social customs of the people and the very important part it plays in our own lives. Lord Erskine in his "Institutes" states that among certain of the lower ranks in Scotland the final settlement of a bargain was always signalized by the licking and joining of thumbs. Selden in "Titles of Honor" says that, kissing the thumb was a characteristic of servility. The clergy, the rich and the great were in receipt of this honor from their tradesmen. From the re- motest days of antiquity the practice of licking the thumb has always been regarded as a pledge or promise exist- ing, according to Tacitus and other au- thorities, among the Goths, the Iberians and the Moors, and it may also be trac- ed through successive periods down to our own times. Power of Pigeons on the Wing. The power of pigeons on the wing is proverbial. All trained birds of this species have two qualifications in a marked degree. The first is speed, the second long and sustained powers of Sight. This proposition can be amply demonstrated, and the following is one of the most remarkable records: On Oct. 6, 1850, Sir John Ross dispatched a pair of young pigeons from Assist- ance bay, a little west of Wellington Sound, and on Oct. 13 a pigeon made its appearance at the dovecot in Ayr- shire, Scotland, whence Sir John had the pair taken out. The distance di- rect between the two places is 2,000 miles.—Cornhill Magazine. The Problem He Solved.

The Coming Country Boy. The life in the country is being more and more appreciated, and the income is sure. The young educated farmer is 4he coming man.

Archibald Durrie, of Bis- marck, has accepted a call from the Presbyterian Church of this city, and will enter upon Itis duties at once. At a meeting of the congregation last Sunday the following resolution was adopted by a standing vote: WHEREAS, The Rev. Archibald Durrie has tendered his resignation as minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Bis- marck, N. D.: Therefore the congregation of said church, whilst regretting to part with such a faithful minister, consistent Chris- tian, and upright citizen, hereby accepts his resignation, and requests the Presby- tery to take the requisite steps to release him from his charge. keening Petroleum. The refining of petroleum is a process of distillation in which it is separated into several marketable products. There are two methods of distillation, known technically as "In vacuo" and "cracking." In the first the petroleum is distilled in a partial vacuum and in the second with superheated steam. This process receives its name from the Cracking sound of the steam as it enters the undistilled petroleum. Queer Case of Evolution. The general law of evolution i0 from the metal and practical into the ideal and beautiful. ThIa seems to be re- versed in the case of the lily and the banana.

Merida said something to this one. The fellow looked too in- nocent and shook his head. Merida caught the mozo by the arm, and that began the fight. The rowers shipped their oars and, urged by the excitement and the tequila, joined in. The boat pitched and plunged. "They'll kill him!" the captain called out. "Lower away a boat!" "If they've no knives"— began the purser, but as he said it a knift was thrown, and by the little Indian girl on the deck below. The captain swore one oath. "They'll do him now— sure," he said. Merida had his man by the throat, but he was down, and all three were on top of him. One of them jumped up and caught the knife by the handle, as it came, dexterously. He gave it to the man who had Merida under him, and the other two drew back. A splen- did brown arm, with its hand grasping the knife, rose high and poised above Merida's breast. Then it fell, but use- lessly, limp from the shoulder bone. There was smoke in the muzzle of the revolver in Miss Strathinore's hand. Merida threw the wounded Mexican off, bent over him, felt in his sash and drew out his own watch. The rowers had resumed their oars. "Now," said Merida quietly, "you take me along- side." The little Indian on the spar deck had watched it eagerly, hanging out far over the side. She turned uow, twist- ing around lithely upon her back, hen face upturned. Hersdark eyes glowed, her lips were apart. Miss Strathmore, the revolver still in her hand, was straight above. The Indian threw back her head, farther still, and laughed.

For Drury Lane theater there is one "For the First Gallerie, 1671," on the obverse the head of Charles II., and another with the bust of James II. and Maria d'Este, his queen, dated 1684.

To go back as far as the end of the thirteenth century, a woman named Protula was professor of the art of RIDING HABITS. Many Devotees of the Saddle Clang to the Divided Skirt. Whether or not the divided skirt shall be worn in cities is a question agitated anew this fall. Its many advantages over the conventional costume have en- deared it all summer to the devotee of the saddle, and the natural inclination of the feminine mind will be for its adoption. Apropos of this, the New York Herald calls attention to a skirt of this jaunty persuasion, with illustra- tions of its possibilities. Straps hold the divided skirt securely In place, while underneath it are worn breeches of the same material and ex- actly like a man's, the euff buttoning about the knee and the inevitable stitched piece on the inside where one grips the horse, also the curved seam on the outside of the leg. For cross country riding and moun- ain climbing this little suit, worn with - THE WALKING SKIRT. A Sensible Ankle Length Garment Likely to Be Worn. The golf skirt that has been evolved from its first form as a bicycle skirt, wkich reached a point below the knee to a sensible ankle length walking skirt that sweeps clear of the pavement, is the model that will be made up gener- ally by tailors this autumn. There will be few tailor skirts made with trains, and it is to be hoped that we will have an ending of the present fashion of clutching the skirt in an ungraceful bunch to keep it away from the pave- ment, says the New York Sun. The ankle length skirts have been seen on the hotel piazzas all summer long in cloth, and especially in white pique, which has been popular for morning wear, and the hearts of dress reformers have been made glad by the hold which the new and sensible fash- ion bas taken upon women. Skirt braids and their renewal have always been two of the greatest bugbears in the life of the girl bachelor whose vo- cation or profession left her no time to attend to these most necessary de- tails of her wardrobe. She was obliged to employ a seamstress for the purpose of renovating her skirts, and the re- moval of an old braid usually betrayed the presence of an accumulation of dust that was extremely distasteful to a woman who had perhaps faithfully brushed her skirt after each wearing. The ankle length skirt does away with this unhealthful and uncleanly necessity. Many of the skirts are un- lined, and as they fall clear of the pavement no braid or protector is re- quired. The unlined skirt for all pur- poses 1s more desirable than the old fashion of the heavy, stiffened skirt. Silk linings have gone out largely, ow- ing to their perishable nature, and ma- terials with a silk or satin finish are preferred as a rule. With a silk lined skirt worn over a silk petticoat the wo- saan without a maid was usually under the necessity of patching or mending up after each wearing. The stiff taffe- tas so long worn as linings broke and tore so easily that they have outlived their vogue. A Seasonable Ice ereatn.

Gauntlets, sombrero, with the crown pinched together, and tan pigskin leg- gings or boots complete this costume. The Experienced Traveler. People who travel very little do not realize how different an old traveler ap- pears in numberless little details from one who seldom goes far from home. Dress, wraps and impedimenta of all kinds have a different stamp upon them. The way people enter a Pull- man and settle themselves for a jour- ney shows to an observant person whether they are in the babit of going only short distances or whether travel- ing has become second nature, remarks the New York Tribune. The various belongings of an old traveler may be, and generally are, very smart, but nev- er look new. They bear the cherished marks of use, and the labels on a much traveled valise or trunk are never re- moved with the consent of the owner, who values these baggage stamps of faroff lands as much as an Alpine climber does the notches and the names of famous climbs on his mountain staff. Woe betide the unfortunate maid or valet who is overzealous enough to clean and polish up the sole leather bags that have rare custom house marks upon them! A young woman about to go abroad for the first time was interrupted by a friend while busy oiling her new leather trunk with a rag which she dipped from time to time into a plate of road dust. "What am I doing?" she answered in reply to the latter's query. "Why, taking the newness off, of course. I would not travel with a spick and span trunk for anything!" Care of Silver Made Easy. Much trouble might be saved by keeping always a chamois or one of the "silver cloths," sold by most good firms, at band in the dining room and giving a slight rub over to each piece as it is put on to the table, especially avoiding any touching with the hands after it has been thus rubbed up. A little care of this kind adds enormously to the appearance of the plate and lessens the actual labor of keeping It In condition. Joke In a lieedle's Point.

The double breasted waistcoat is now rarely seen, and there seems little doubt that the single breasted coat will be the more fashionable during the coming autumn and winter. I refer more particularly to that made of the same material as the coat and trousers, known as the sack suit waistcoat, though there is reason to believe that double breasted white waistcoats for evening dress and those of linen or duck for wear with a frock coat will not be more fashionable than the single breasted type. Toward the close of the past winter season and throughout the spring the single buttoning was, if any- thing, a little the smarter cut, and the Cairo shape, with buttons converging to a point and points at the bottom edge, wenralmost entirely out of vogue. It is a matter which may be borne in mind when replenishing the wardrobe for the cooler mouths, remarks "Him" in Vogue. Tomato Catchup. Wash and cut up five quarts of ripe tomatoes, put over the fire in a granite kettle and boil slowly until soft, then rub through a sieve. In a saucepan put one cupful of sugar, one table- spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of ground cloves, one teaspoonful of all- spice, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cayenne and one cupful of strong cider vinegar. Bring to the boiling point, add to the sieved tomatoes and, boil until the catchup is reduced to about five pints. Bottle when cool.—Good Housekeeping. The Cuban Way to Eat the Orange. The. style of eating oranges In Cuba Is to peel the fruit round as we do an apple, taking great care to cut just through the yellow rind, leaving the white skin entire.

The summer girl back to town star- tles the passengers in cars and stages by wearing the sleeves of her shirt waist turned well back to her elbows. She glories in her brown and some- times freckled arms. Moss gray deerskin shoes with small silver buckles make pretty feet look more charming than ever. Nearly every barehanded anclathletic girl now has the "golfer's wrist," which will give her trouble in getting back into gloves the coming season.

He was taken and was being brought to the tower with Kilmarnock and Balmeri- no. A block stopped the sad cortege, and a lady, looking from a window, cried, "You tall rebel" (Mr. M. was 6 feet 4 inches), "you will soon be short- er by a head!" "Does that give you pleasure, mad- am?" said Mr. M. "Yes, it does." "Then, madam," said Mr. M., taking off his hat and making a low bow, "I do not die in vain." Lady — was moved. She made in- terest for Mr. M. There exists a paper in the hand of George II. to this effect: "Let Lady — [the name is obliterat- ed] have access to her tali rebel and be hanged to her."

The widow of a church beadle died In a village in the government of Penza, having expressed the desire that her remains be put by those of her husband. When the grave of the latter was opened, the coffin was not found. On investigation it was discovered that the peasants of the village had stolen the body of the dead beadle and sunk it in a swamp. There had been a drought in that district last year, and the peasants believed that if they sank the body of a righteous man in water rain would come. This superstition is said to be prevalent among the com- mon people In that region.

SOME THAT MEN CONSIDER TO BE OF REMARKABLE VALUE. Paradoxical as It May Appear, the Perfection of a Precious Stone Is Largely Dae to Some Imperfection In its Making by Nature. Paradoxical as it may appear, the 'perfection of a gem Is largely due to some imperfection in its make. Some little mistake made in the laboratory of nature produces a defective stone which Is perfection itself from the lap- idary's point of view. Ninety-nine out of every hundred emeralds dug from the mine are almost white and of little value, but the hundaedth one is of a rich velvety green and, if without oth- er flaws than Its color, sells for $300 a carat or 240 times as much as Its col- orless brother. The reason of the rich color which gives the emerald its value Is that nature, in making the stone, put On too much oxide of chromium, just as the cook sometimes gets too much sal- emtus in the biscuits. The standard of perfection in the laboratory of nature Is the colorless emerald, and her deep green ones are some of her failures; failures which, nevertheless, delight mankind, however much they may dis- gust nature. You could buy a ton of oxide of chromium for the price which half a grain of It gives to a cheap and common crystal. When nature makes mistakes In man- ufacturing diamonds, the results are emmlly remarkable. Her standard for a diamond is a pure white stone, but sometimes a foreign substance gets into the crucible, and the result is a red or blue diamond. A fine white brilliant of one carat can be bought for $125, but a blue stone of that size would be cheap at $3;500. A red diamond is of even greater value, a red stone of fifteen grains having\been sold for $5,000. Yet the little particle of foreign material which nature dsre1ess1y let fall into the mixture when he was making that stone down in the'lteart of some prime- val volcano is of less value than a grain of common salt and only got there by mistake. Nature manufactures in her laborato- ry a material called spinet You can buy a block of spinet as large as you can carry for a few dollars. Sometimes In making spinel small quantities of chromic acid get into the material and color it a deep red. The pieces so col- ored nature rejects as spoiled in the making and throws them In the dust Ari1from which men dig them out and t. them rubies. A ruby of thirty-two carets recently sold for $52,000. Yet the material of the cheap spinel and the valuable ruby are practically the same, save for that small fraction of chromic acid which got into the ruby by mistake. When nature starts out to manufac- ture opals, she endeavors to make them without any cracks in them. In this she seldom succeeds, coming nearest to perfection In the Mexican opals, which have few cracks in them and therefore little luster. The fiery glow of the ori- ental opal and the play of light In the depths of that exquisite stone are due entirely to the numberless cracks which seam the surface of the gem. It must give nature a poor opinion of mankind when she sees him selling the Mexicali opals. which are nearly per- fect, for 12 cents a carat and paying $25 a carat for her failures, the cracked fire opal of the east. Not only in gems, but in many other things. does nature make mistakes and failures. the results of which are high- ly valued by man. The chank shell, a shell much like the conch shell of these shores, is one of the commonest shells on the beaches of India, and millions of them are gathered and burned for the lime that Is in them. Yet in a tem- ple near Kandy, Ceylon, are two chank shells which hold the,place of honor In a shrine covered with gold, and no amount of money could buy them from their guardian priests. Their value consists in the fact that nature was not quite herself the morning she fabricat- ed these shells and gave a right hand- ed twist to them instead of a left hand- ed one, such as has been given to all other chank shells, so far as man knows, since the beginning. Baron Rothschild once paid $300 a dozen for some Schloss Johannisberg wine, and it is admitted that, taking everything into consideration, it was not an exorbitant price. Yet the wine of the same year from the vineyard di- rectly adjoining the Johannisberg vine- yard, on the same bank of the Rhine, a vineyard whose soil is, to all appear- ances, the same, only brought $.5 a dozen. And there is no special secret about the manufacture of Johannisberg wine or about the variety of grape used. Its great value comes from a little joke of nature. In the soil of the Johannisberg vineyard there is an infinitesimal amount of a certain salt which is found in the soil of no otber vineyard. The admixture Is so slight that uo chemist has ever been able to imitate it, yet it is worth many thou- sands a year to the owner of the vine- yard. A Monstrous Tide. The bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac at which the Atlantic octtn seems to have taken a special spite and at regu- lar intervals pours into it an enormous amount of water. Take the harbor of St. John's as an illustration, of what this mighty tide must be. In most parts of the world a tide of ten feet is considered something abnormal, but at St John's It rises twenty to twenty- four feet in good weather. In stormy weather the monotony is varied by the high water mark being pushed up even ten or fifteen feet higher. A Lumicy Imitation. Marshal Gousko, the fatuous Russian general, was a terrible autocrat. On one occasion an impersonator of cele- brated men was performing at a thea- ter in Odessa. One evening he received a mysterious message, which read: "Study General Gourko." In Russia it Is better not to inquire into matters that one does not understand, and so the artist spent an hour in privately impersonating the autocratic Russian. Just as the evening performance was about to commence an order of arrest signed by Gourko was presented to the impersonator, and without explanation he was led through the streets to the tuarshal's palace and Into an apartment where the terrible man was seated. "They tell me that you Impersonate cel- ebrated men," he roared. "Imperson- ate me!" Giving a hasty look at Gourko. the performer turued to the mirror to "make up." It was an anxious time, for if the marshal should take excep- tion to the representation he had un- limited power to Inflict punishment The impersonator dragged himself to- gether and turned to the marshal a col. If his own face and overbearing man- ner. Gourko burst into a roar of laugh- ter, and the dangerous moment was over. When the World Will Be Full. If we apply to the future growth of the world's population the rate of in- crease that obtained during the nine- teenth century—one person per hun- dred per year—we obtain the following forecast: Millions of N. of persons to persons. one square mile. 1900 1,600 or 31 2000 4,328 or 83 2100. 11,706 or 226 2200 31,602 or 609 2250 62,073 or 1,001 As there are 52,000,000 square miles of land on the earth, and as we are to consider 1,000 persons to each square mile as the equivalent of the world's being full, it follows that we want a world population of 52,000,000,000 of persons to fulfill this condition. A glance at the above statement of growth in the world's population shows that the necessary growth from 1,600,- 000,000 in the year 1000 to the 52,000,- 000,000 of persons wanted for our pur- pose will eventuate in the year 2250, al- most 350 years ahead of the present time, when, as the illustration suggests. it may be necessary to hang out a no- tice to the effect that the world Is full to the utmost limit —Cosmopolitan. Eating a Living Ox. Only the very few among us run any risk, in the course of our peregrinations and vicissitudes, of beim; invited to such objectionable dinners as it was the lot of Bruce, the explorer, to eat. Such very nasty feeders as the Abys- sinians of his day are becomiug ex- tinct. Fancy sitting down to table and seeing the meat walk alive Into the room! That was their custom. And they ate it alive. too, the brutes! The wretched ox was tied fast, head and legs, and then, by e delicate in- cision on both sides of the backbone, near the haunches, the attendants were able to strip its skin away, to enable them to cut slices from the poor ani- mal again and again without touching an artery. The guests ate the meat raw and quivering to the music of the roars and bellowing of pain of the ox of which it was a part. This is hideous, and even the least particular of men may be excused for shirking an experience of the kind. A Bird With Fear Feet. This little creature, still to be found in South America, is a relic of bygone ages. It is known as the crested hoatzin, and the adult bird is about as big as a peacock. The young birds, when hatched, have four legs, the front pair being reptilian in character, and have strong claws. As they grow older these claws fall off, the legs become fattened, feathers grow OD them, and they develop into wings. These .nestlings are the nearest ap- proach to a reptile that can be found among birds, and they can climb and dive and swim with great facility. Crashing a Lawyer. De Wolfe Hopper was once a witness In a suit for slander, and the opposing counsel In the courtroom said: "Yon are an actor, I believe?" "Yes," replied Hopper. "Is not that a low calling?" "I don't know, but it's so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it." "What was yoter father's calling, may I ask?" "He was a lawyer," said Hopper. A Song Inspiration. Chambers' Journal says the inspira- tion for Milton Wellings' song "Some Day" came to him while be was wait- ing in an agony of suspense to hear from his wife, rumor having arisen of an accident to a yachting party of which she was a member. Nervously opening a book, his eyes fell on the line, "Or are you dead or that you live," which line he Incorporated In his song. The baae of celluloid is common pa- per. By action of sulphuric and nitric acids it is changed to gun cotton, then dried, ground and mixed with from 20 to 40 per cent of camphor, after which it is ground fine, colored with powder colors, cast in sheets, pressed very hard and at last baked between sets of superheated rollers. Probably every child ehmishes against his parents that they once gave hlm a calf, and kept the money when they sold it —Atchison Globe. BLACK AND RED ANTS THE WIDOW TAX. TWO COLONIES IN A FIERCE BATTLE TO THE DEATH. Human Warfare Paralleled in This Conflict Between the Vicious In. Beets—Three Days, Fighting Before Victory Came to the Red.. Was it the attempted application of the doctrine of territorial expansion? Was it a case of forcing a higher or- der of civilisation upon an energetic and unwilling race? Was It retaliation for real or fancied insult to national honor? Was it perhaps because of an interest in the slave trade or a gold mine or a diamond mine? Was it any or none of these reasons that led to the terrific and decisive battles of which I was an interested witness some years ago? It will perhaps never be deter- mined what were the causes underly- ing a struggle of three days' duration, marked by carnage, feats of strength and deeds of valor such as are rarely the lot of the historian to record. I was sitting one summer afternoon in the shadow of my cottage near a stunted lilac bush when my attention was attracted to a horde of large black ants crossing a narrow roadway which lay between my house and that of a neighbor in the same yard. Their ob jective point, I soon perceived, was the foot of the lilac, the ground around which had been honeycombed by little red ants less than half as large as the others. There seemed to be an unusual excite- ment here. Possibly a sentry or scout had brought news to Me colony of ;the approaching army. At least they were not being attacked unawares. The in- vaders were met near the foot of the bush, and the war was on. The battle ground was confined to a space per- haps three feet square, but here arffbng the hillocks and ravines in miniature all the tragedies and triumphs of wat were enacted. There were at first arrangement and order when van met van, but the con. ffict soon resolved itself into a general catch as catch can encounter. Woe to the red ant luckless enough to get into the jaws of its larger foe! One closing up of those powerful instruments, and a crushed, helpless mass was flung aside. The smaller, however, had- the advantage both in numbers and agility and fought In pairs or triplets. Thus while the black ant generally killed one or more of its antagonists it was Itself doomed. The duration of a battle varied from five to fifteen minutes, ceased by the disappearance of the in. vaders, to be suddenly renewed later. It was pathetic during these periods - of truce to note the casualities• and the movements on the fateful field. Busy little army surgeons or possibly mem- bers of the Red Cross corps hurried from one mangled body to another. Sometimes a feeble response on the part of the wounded soldier to the anx- ious inquiry of the relief was no- ticeable. The solicitous and universal sympathy of the unharmed for their less fortunate companions was a sight never to be forgotten. The ground was strewed with bodies in all stages of dismemberment—legs gone, antennee missing. head severed from the body, the body itself sectioned. Here and there one mortally wounded dragged itself slowly and painfully to some ob- scure spot to die. Others were helped away to a place of security, but in such condition that it is safe to infer they passed their remaining days in a hos- pital or some home for the disabled. For three days, in at least as many battles each day, the conflict raged. Each day witnessed a perceptible thin- ning out of the ranks, but the vigor and spirit of the contest kept up till near the close. Desirous of knowing what effect the presence of strange surroundings would have on the combatants, I procured a large glass dish and captured several of both species. This I repeated at various times. Invariably, while at first trying to escape, upon becoming aware of each other's presence they grappled and fought to the death. Valor, honor, hatred, revenge—what was 10—dominated entirely over fear. Against the stubborn resistance and greater numbers of their antagonists the invaders could not hold out. A panic finally seised the survivors such as comes upon hu.man.warriom-Lan un- utterable, unreasoning fear—and, thor- oughly defeated in their object, what- ever it might have been, for days after hostilities ceased any unusual noise near their dwellings would send each individual hurriedly to shniter as if an avenger were at its heels.—Scientific American. Pigeons Wreaked Vengeance. A remarkable story of the vengeance wrought by pigeons is told by a paper at Zurich, writes a correspondent. Two pigeons built a nest in a tree situated in a well stocked garden of flowers and vegetables and there raised a brood of which they were very proud. The other day the old birds left the nest, and in their absence some one captured the young ones. On their return tie female was much upset at her loss. The male, however, went and fetched about fifty other pigeons, which actually devastat- ed the garden, the vegetables and dow- ers being destroyed in wholesale quan- tities. Au aka Saw It. Mrs. Kleener—What is the matter with you this evening, John, that you ain't smoking? Mr. Kleener—The doctor says I mustn't He says I must stop smoking or die. Mrs. Kleener—Oh. I'm so glad! You won't be scenting up my curtains any more, will you?—Boston Transcript. In Mindanao a Wife. Death Costs the Widower One Bandred Plate.. Becoming a widow or a widower is a much more serious business than get- ting married among some of the tribes In the Philippines. In Mindanao "mar- rying in haste" often leads to a pro- longed "repenting at leisure," for they have an institution there known as the "widow tax"—"chabaloan" the natives tall it. Upon the death of the wife the widower must pay a certain sum of money or Its equivalent in goods to his father-in-law before he can go a-coutt- ing again. As money is a scarce article among these natives, the tax generally Is paid in plates of common "stone chi- na." which are much used by the na- tives as a medium of exchange. It is considered the proper thing for the be- reaved one to pay 100 -of these plates to his father-in-law for permission to look about him for a successor to the de- ceased helpmate. If the husband. dies, the widow at once becomes the property of her par- ents -In-law and so -remains for life un- less some relative comes forward and produces the necessary number of din- ner plates. The natural result of this is that married people are all extreme- ly solicitous for the health of each oth- er. In sickness the invalid Is sedulous- ly attended by the partner of his or her joys and sorrows, the well person perhaps being moved more by the thought of those hundred plates than by real affection. Divorce is unknown among these peo- ple, but a man may have as many wives as he pleases. It will be seen that in case of an epidemic which would sweep away his wives a married man would be in dire extremity. In the case of a death of a much married man his parents come into a small for- tune, for they either have enough slaves to render future work on their part unnecessary or they receive enough plates from the families of the widows to set up a crockery store. DWARFING AN OAK TREE. The Japanese Triek by Which It Is Accomplished. The Chabo Hiba. a dwarf Japanese pine tree, was recently sold for $1,200. It Is six feet high and alleged to be 850 years old. It has long been supposed that the process by willeh Japanese gardeners succeeded In dwarfing forest trees was a long and costly one. It e now said that it is a simple procees and that any one can do the trick. The fol- lowing directions are given for produc ing a miniature oak tree: Take an orange and scoop out the pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold and plant an acorn in the center of it, leaving the hole in the rind for it to sprout through. Put it in n sunny place and water it frequeutly. Soon after the first shoots have appeared the roots begin to break through the orange skin. Take a sharp knife and shave these off carefully and keep them shaved. The tree will grow about five or six inches high and then stop. In a year It will be a perfect miniature oak. When the roots cease to grow. the orange skin should be varnished over and imbed- ded in a flowerpot The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees and make 'hem live to a great age. Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo Hiba, are well known, and their own- ers have doeumentary evidence attest- ing their great age. The older they are the more valuable, of course, they are. In Japan certain families follow the calling, trade, art, or what you will, of growing dwarf trees from genera- tion to generation, and you can buy a miniature oak 500 years old from a de- scendant of the man who first planted the acorn. Not only forest trees, but fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are dwarfed by these clever gardeners. Swimming. "No man can ever hope to be a strong swimmer unless he cultivates the pow- er of endurance In the water," says a professional. "It costs me no more exertion to swim for an hour than it does to walk for the same period of time "In swimming a man should time his stroke with his breathing. He should take but one stroke to each breath. In this way the muscles of the body work In conjunction with the lungs, and no energy is wasted. In salt water, which, of course, is more buoyant than fresh water. a man who has trained himself in this way should have no difficulty in keeping afloat, say be were shipwreck- ed, until sheer weakness from hunger and thirst would force him to suc- cumb."—Philadelphia Record. Daly's Isspeeuniosus Bmpioyee. The late Augustin Daly had in his employment a man who always ad- dressed him a note periodically asking for an advance of money. This note was invariably answered by a most abusive letter. In almost insulting terms and threatening instant discharge if the offense was ever repeated—and In - closing a check for the money! At regular intervals of about three months the man invariably made the same request, with the same result& always, however, getting a check in- closed. And thus It continued until Mr. Daly's death.—New York Times. Warts. A simple remedy for warts is a dram of salicylic acid with an ounce of col- lodftim in s. bottle which has a tiny brush run through the cork. Apply this mixture to the wart* twice day. And In a few days they will dry up and fall off.—Ladies' Home Journal. The never or string beana, peas and. spinach may be improved by a sprin- kling of grated nutmeg. _ FOLLOWED THE LEADER. A Case Where Naval Cadets Turned Discipline Into a Joke. Among other good stories told by Cyrus Townsend Brady in his "Under Tops'ls and Tents,".published by Scrib- ner% is this: It is related that a large number of naval cadets *ere negligent in follow- ing the service in the chapel, which was after the ritual of the Episcopal church. An incautious officer in charge on SundLy morning made a little ad- dress to the church party on the sub- ject, saying he suppcsed that some of them erred through ignorance, but if they would observe him carefully and do as he did—in military parlance, fol- low the motions of the commanding of- ficer—they would not go wrong. Word was passed quietly through the battalion. They marched into the church. The officer in charge took his place in the front pew, settled himself in his seat and calmly blew his nose. Three hundred noses were blown si- multaneously with a vehemence that was startling. The officer looked around and blushed violently In great surprise. Three hundred heads "followed the mo- tions of the commanding officer." Six hundred cheeks violently tried to blush, a hard thing to for a midshipman to do, and so on through the service. The man could not stir without in- stant imitation. He finally confined himself strictly to the prescribed rit- ual of the service, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not daring to raise a finger or breathe out of the or- dinary course. This enterprise also was a startling success. The cadets received other instructions later in the day from a furious Ibfficer who sternly resented their innocent statements that they did not know which was ritual and which was not and that he had not instructed them that blowing his nose stood on a differ- ent plane from saying his prayers. It was a huge joke everywhere. BEE AND HIVE. If the hive rests on the ground, it will be too damp. It will pay to use foundations by fill- ing all frames full. Set the hive a little above the ground to admit of a circulation of air. From 9 o'clock a. m. to 3 o'clock p. m. Includes the hours of Auccessful operat- ing with bees. Procure new blood in the apiary. In- breeding Is as objectionable with bees as with live stock. It is necessary to unite all weak col- onies that will be unable to build up into strong stocks. Care should be takcii to save all young brood and the brood combs of those containing brood. On account of it being the only ma- terial that can be depended upon to stay pine Is the best material for hives. Combs should not be left In empty hives about the apiary. That Is the worst place they can be left, as moths are always to be found near the bees and are sure to infest the combs. One advantage in closed end frames Is that a hive full of combs may be handled as though it were a single piece instead of a collection of loose pieced, thus saving work, worry and time. If the bees cannot conveniently enter the hives during the sudden changes of cool weather, quite a number will be lost; hence care should be taken to have the entrances arranged so that the bees can enter readily. Knots on Trees. In the barks of our forest trees are contained a multitude of latent buds, which are developed and grow under certain favordble conditions. Some trees possess this property in a remark- able degree, and often, when the other parts are killed down by frost, the property of pushing out these latent buds into growth preserves the life of the plant These buds, having once begun to grow, adhere to the woody layer at their base ancl•.push out their points through the back toward the light The buds then unfold and develop leaves, which elaborate the sap carried up the small shoot. Once elaborated It descends by the bark, when it reaches the base or Inner bark. Here it is ar- rested, so to speak, and deposited be- tween the outside and inner layer of bark, as can be learned on examining specimens on the trees in the woods almost anywhere. Mann Taxes. In the matter of taxation the Isle of Man is unique. There is no Income tax; no succession duties chargeable against the estates of deceased persons, no highway or turnpike tolls. Roads are maintained by the -revenue from two sources—a small tax upon every wheel and shod hoof and a levy upon every male inhabitant who must give a day's work on the road or its equivalent in cash. There are no stamp duties on receipts, checks, promissory notes, etc.; in fact, stamps are used only for post- age.—London Standard. Stuck. Penner—flay, give me a synonym for "psychic," will you?

It brings the highest price in fancy markets and can be found allsover the world in shops where luxuries are sold. In South America, South Africa, In the Ea and West Indies, in India, Egypt and In tropical countries gener- ally it is used by epicures, who pay $1 i.send for it in tins of one, two and three pounds' weight. No other coun- try has been able to produce butter that will stand changes of climate eo well. Refrigerator ships are now found on nearly all the big steamship routes, and they can carry perishables as long and as far as necessary, but butter shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer usually melts and remains in a liquid state as long as it is exposed to the tropic heat. When it passes into the temperate zone again, it hardens, and the change usually spoils it for the taste, entirely destroying the flavor and leaving it like ordinary grease or oil. The Danes, however, produce a butter which will endure this ordeal without affecting its flavor or sweetness, and they are the only people of whom this may be said.—Chicago Herald. "De Choppin." "Speakin 'bout partnerships," said Moses, with a solemn shake of the head—"speakin 'bout partnerships wid a white man, I'ze had one an don't want no mo'. One time Kurnel Daw- ron dun cums ober to my cabin wid a bland smile on his face an shakes hands wid me an says: "Moses, let's yo' an me go into part- nership in' de wood bizness. Yo's a powerful hand to chop, an I'se a pow- erful hand to sell cord wood.' "Pears like a mighty good thing to me, an I goes at it an cuts 30 cords of wood.

Seeing that an ordinary porpoise Is from five to six feet in length and will require some 500 ordinary mackerel or their equivalent per week to keep it in fair condition—and there cannot be less than from 20,000 to 30,000 of these creatures living in British and Irish waters—the drain upon the shoals of mackerel living in these seas from tide source alone must' be enormous, for if these creatures only feed on them one- half of the year about 400,000.000 mackerel must be destroyed without man or beast receiving any equivalent. These animals are not easily taken in hand, being so intelligent and active. I believe I am safe in saying there were extenaive fisheries carried on for them in the sixteenth century at St. Mawes and Fowey, Cornwall, and in most of the narrow harbors of Britain, their flesh being highly valued by the gentry In those days, but now nothing of them is appropriated to man's use in England.—Contemporary Review. How Sponges Are Sold. When offered for sale In the local market in the Bahamas, sponges are either piled up loose or made Into strands or beads of from two to ten sponges each. The best sponges are usually made into strings of from eight to ten sponges each. Others are generally sold in lots not strung. The buyer, however, is not guided in his purchase by the number of sponges on a string, but by what a certain lot will weigh, and the weight is never given, but the buyer must estimate it; hence practical experience is needed in the purchasing of sponges.

DYNAMITE AND MINERS. gplIglsomemewsz7r1rWilmi • Long Immunity From Aceident Re- sults In Contesopt of Danger. "After a miner had handled dynamite for eight or ten years without a serious mishap It is a good idea to put him to doing something else about the works," said a gentleman of this city who has had a great deal of experience with high explosives. "The chances are a hundred to one that his long immunity from ac- cident has given him such a contempt for danger that he is an unconscious menace to everybody on the premises. He will do things that not only imperil his own life, but the lives of all his comrades. To give you an illustra- tion, once I had an old Cornishman at work at a mine in whith I was inter- ested and had intrusted him with a general supervision of all the blasting. He had been handling dynamite for twenty years or more and was justly regarded as an expert. During that entire period he had never had an acci- dent worth speaking of, and by de- -grees the care and vigilance that were responsible for his excellent record had worn away until he was beginning to entertain the delusion, common to old hands, that the danger of the stuff was very much exaggerated. - - "One day I was passing through a cut where some blasting had been go- ing on and noticed the old Cornishman hammering a drill into what seemed to be a boring in the rock. I asked him what he 'was doing, and he told me coolly there was a cartridge in the hole that had failed to explode and he was 'just knockin' out the tampin' to re - prime it' I was horrified, for at every blow he was liable to explode the dyna- mite, and I ordered him sternly to stop and never repeat such a performance. The proper method would have been to have drilled a new hole near by and exploded the first charge with a second blast. He obeyed sullenly, grumbling to himself, af4 less than a month after- ward was blown up while doing exact- ly the same thing. He lost his lett arm at the shoulder, his left eye and part of his left ear. Be also lost his contempt for dynamite, and when he finally emerged from the hospital I gave him back his former job. I never had a more scrupulously careful employee than he was from that time on. It seems a brutal thing to say, but there is nothing that does an old dynamite hand as much good as to get blown up once or twice."—New Orleans Times - Democrat. '411 4 Parental Economy.

He took hlm out to the summer kitch- en and showed him it large package, neatly folded and tied with a string. "There," he said, "are all the paper bags that have been brought into the house for a whole year from grocery stores and other places. I have had your mother save them for you.

The Chastien home is in Le Sueur. It was a week ago that the wife and daughter left their home because as she says it was not a happy one. She came to Stillwater and lived in two rooms at 805 north.Fourth Street. H. P. Anderson, she says, knew her and it was for his sake she left her hus- hand and carne here. Anderson is not a man of prepossessing appearance and he, too, is a stranger here. He worked at odd jobs and secured tem- porary employment here, working on the foundation of a house. He con- tributed in a meagre way to the sup- port of Mrs. Chastien and her (laugh- ter. The husband came here a few clays ago looking for his wife and child. He said that he had treated them well, and he was surprised at their leaving and especially taking 11p with Anderson.

A Too Strenuous Life In the Ho Every Woman a Mother to Herse Apropos of the query of a perple husband, "What can I do to keep wife from overworking herself?" Good Housekeeping Writer says: Intemperance is the greatest evil the age -intemperance in working a resting, in eating and drinking. Ma a so called temperance woman is temperate In this respect. The mo ing test Is the proper one to apply. T drunkard and glutton, the indolent a overworked, invariably feel m worthless in the morning, the ti when temperate people are at th best.

The husband of a too hardworki woman meets with little sympathy. His moderation is a reproach to hila. "Big, husky fellow!" the neighbors ex- claim. "Why does he let his frail little wife work herself to death?" In many cases the question is not, "Why does he let her?" but, "How can he hinder her?" It is useless to ask this spend- thrift of strength to save herself. She will not do so until she is a physical bankrupt. She Is often the most uu- elfish of women, and all her labor is or others. It does not occur to her hat she has no more right to waste the fife that belong to her family than she as to waste the money that belongs to hem. Such a woman should be appealed to hrough her good sense and affection. Ask her If she -is doing the right thing y you when ,she comes to the table too fired to eat or deops asleep in the even - ng when you are reading aloud. Tell er you would not allow any one to rive your horse too hard and that she s worth more than a million horses. ell her that the element of compan- nableness is something she will take o heaven with her when she dies, when her thriving farm and spotless ouse may be given over to weeds and obwebs.

But belonging as she did to that great middle class, of which each of us knows at least a hundred representa- tives, she wisely fitted her burden to the back that was to bear It.

Professor Adametz, who devoted con siderable time to the study of the fiat grant subject, said that the population of an ordinary cheese when a few weeks old is greater than the number of persons upon the earth. Profess r Adametz made some inter- esting reAearches dealing with the mi- nute organisms found in cheese. From a microscopic examination of a soft variety of Gruyere cheese he obtained the following statistics: In fifteen grains of cheese, when perfectly fresh. from 90,000 to 140,000 microbes were found, and when the cheese was sev- enty days old the population had in- creased to 800,000 in each fifteen grains. An examination of a denser cheese at twenty-five days old proved it to contain 1,200,000 in each gram (about fifteen grains) and when forty- five days old 2,000,000 in the sante small particle. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the South. Possibly the most general conception of the old life at the south held by the rest of the country is that drawn Prone "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a work which, whatever its truth In detail -and there was doubtless much truth -yet by ren- _ son of its omissions and its grouping contained even more untruth as a cor- - rect picture of a civilization, says Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic. As an argument against the evils in- herent in slavery it was unanswerable; as a presentation of the life it under- took to mirror it was rather apiece of emotional fiction, infused with the spir- it of an able and sincere but only par- tially informed partisan, than a correct reflection. It served a purpose far be- yond the dream and possibly even the intention of its author. It did much to hasten the overthrow of slavery. It did no less to stain the reputation of the south and obscure what was' worthy and Fire In its life. From that time the people of the south were rw garded, outside its own border, much - as, shall we say, China is regarded to- day -as one of the effete peoples, as an obstacle in the path of advance and possibly among many as an object of righteous spoil.,, More Laughter, Less Suicides. The physiological benefits of laughter cannot be overestimated. It shakes up the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating to a lively measure, stimulates the blood corpuscles, enlivens the brain and sometimes produces dislocation of the jaw when indulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Used with discretion, laugtlter is as inspiring as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It bas killed more ridicu- lous superstitions by its rollicking roars of unbelief than any other agency. What can be more derisive than a laugh? The man who laughs never kills himself. This is the reason so few Irishmen commit suicide. -Literary Era. Early icehouses. In America icehouses have been known for at least 200 years. They were first very primiVe affairs, being nothing more than deep cellars. the flooring made of boards or stone, upon which was ttlaced a layer of straw or sawdust. The sides were lined with boards set about a foot from the wall, and this space was filled in with saw- dust, tan bark or straw- A rough, e thatched roof completed the struct which was then filled with ice, be- tween the layers of which tan bark or sawdust was strewed. Macaroni is taken from a Greek deri- vation which means "the blessed dead," in allusion to the ancient custom of eat- ing it at feasts for the dead. A Formidable Meal. Sometimes the names given to dif- ferent varieties of plants and vegeta- bles are confusing, not to say startling. It sounds as if one had indulged in a most aesthetic meal to say, "I have just eaten an early rose." But when one remembers that Early Rose is the name of a popular variety of potato the aes- theticism vanishes. Potatoes seem to be especially liable to have names be- stowed on them which have a most "unedible" sound. Two women out on a bicycle tour be- came hungry, and there was no inn in sight, but there was a farmhouse near by, and an old man was pottering about in the adjacent potato patch. To him they appealed for food. He promised to do what he could, saying that, at any rate, he could assure them of good potatoes, as he had every variety In his garden. The women enjoyed the meal and especially commended the pota- toes. "Yes," said the farmer, "you have not done so badly. You have eaten two Schoolmasters, two Blacksmiths, four Kidneys and a couple of White Ele- phants." In Vicious Circle. "I wonder what makes a man's hair fall out so fast when it once starts?' "Worry!

The Proofreader. An anonymous writer in the Ameri- can Printer of New York says: "The ideal proofreader for a small printshop ought to be an accomplished printer, a sensible person, a person un- derstanding the scope and limitations of the English language, one compre- hending the true offices of punctuation, one with a keen and true appreciation of literature, a storehouse of exact knowledge, a perfect grammarian, a perfect speller and with a fund of hu- mor sufficient to enable him to do his whole duty along these various lines without making for an early grave, If he does not really knew everything, he ought assuredly tobe able to scent out an error and to know how to get at the truth. If he reads the proofs for a weekly newspaper also, he ought to know all about local affairs and all about the town or city in order to pre- vent the reported marriage of the girl who merely acted as bridesmaid and untangle the mixed topography of the reporters' articles." Henry Ward Beecher's Wit. On one occasion as Mr. Beecher was In the midst of an impassioned speech some one attempted to interrupt him by suddenly crowing like a cock. The orator, however, was equal to the occa- sion. He stopped, listened till the crow- ing ceased, and then;, :with a look of surprise, pulled out his Watch. "Morn- ing already!" bQ said.

Be careful to limit the amount of wa ter and .fluids which you take during meals, since large quantities of these. especially ice water, binder digestion. Not more than one glass of water should be taken during each meal. In Order to quench the thirst which is so apt to clamor for water at meals an eminent authority suggests taking a glass of bot water fifteen or thirty min- utes before meals. This acts especially well in the morning, as it cleanses the stomach. -Ladies' Home Journal. The Double Leifer. The double letter is scarcely of use In any language.

Some of the experiences of that time show how recently advertising, as we know it, has developed. A retail hardware house in an east- ern city once found itself possessed of ten times the number of articles of a certain kind that it bad intended to buy. As they had been ordered espe- cially for new hotel and were of a pe- culiar design, there .seemed to be no way of disposing of them except at a merely nominal sum: One of the younger men connected with the concern offered to "move them" at a fair price provided be be permitted to advertise. The sugges- tion encountered much opposition, but finally a small sum was set apart to carry it out. The advertisement was drafted in an attractive way, and the people soon began to buy the new arti- cle. Finally lite house was obliged to send to the manufacturers for more. When the next season't3 trade opened, the member of the firm who had most opposed the experiment whispered to the young man that he had better write out a few notices "and put them in the papers." From such beginnings the advertis- ing practice has come. Thousands of dollars are now spent not only in ad- vertising itself, but in devising clever catch words, ingenious phrases and il- lustrations which will stick in the memory of the reader as well as new general methods. -Youth's Companion. English Quail Stew. For four plump quails provide four oysters, four tablespoonfuls of butter, three large cupfuls of ox tail soup or rich stock, two small glasses of port or Madeira, two tablespoonfuls of onion vinegar, the same of India relish and mushroom catchup, celery salt, white pepper and four slices of crisp, brown toast. Leave the quails whole, simply opening down the breast. Put the but- ter in a frying pan over a hot fire and when brown lay the quails i11 the pan. Cover and cook ten minutes. Turn and cook ten minutes more. When browned on both sides, add the soup or stock; wine, catchup and relish. When it boils again, add celery salt and pepper to season and thicken with a table- spoonful of flour wet up is cold water. Stir it gradually until it boils. Turn each quail on its back and insert an oyster. Cook five minutes and serve on slicesof toast with the liquid poured over all. A Great Storm Wave, A great storm wave is peculiar to cy- clones. At the center of the disturb- ance the mercury in a good barometer may be lower by three inches than that In a similar instrument on the verge of the cyclone. This is owing to the diminution of atmospheric pressure consequent on the rotation of the air wheel, and as nature abhors a vacuum the sea in the vortex rises above its usual level until equilibrium is restor- ed. This storm rave advances with the hurricane and rolls in upon the low land like a solid wall. In the Backer - gunge cyclone of 1876 the storm wave covered the land at the eastern end of the Ganges delta at heights varying from ten to forty-five feet, as measured by marks on the trees. One hundred thousand lives were lost ou this occa- sion. -Chambers' Journal. They Found the Pail. During a spell of particularly hot weather a well known baronet came across three workmen engaged on a job on his estate. One of them remark- ed, as workmen not infrequently do, on the dryness of the Job. The heat bad perhaps extended itself to the bar- onet's temper. At any rate, he turned away, with the reply: "If you are thirsty, you know where the well is. You will find a pail there." Thinking over his remark a little lat- er, it flashed across the baronet's mind that he had given orders for three bot- tles of champagne to be put into the pail and lowered into the well to cool for dinner. He hastened to the well and discovered - three empty bottles! What he said this time is not reported. -London Truth. Three Ways, An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman, making a tour around the city a short time since, were observed looking through a confectioner's win- dow at a beautiful young woman serv- ing in the shop. "Oh," exclaimed Mr. Patrick, "do let us be after spending half a crown with the dear craytur, that we may look at her convaniently and have a bit of chat wid her." "You extravagant dog," said Mr. Bull. "I'm sure one-half of the money will be sufficient, But let us go in, by all means. She's a ch>timing girl." "Ah, wait a wee," interposed Mr. McAndrew. "Dinna ye ken it'll serve our purpose equally weel just to ask the bonnie lassie to gie us twa six- pences for a shilling and inquire where's Mr. Toompson's house and sic like. We're no hungry and may as weel save the . sitter." - Birmingham Mercury. A Lake's Jawbreaking Name. The town of Webster, Mass., has al- ways been proud of the beautiful little lake within its limits, but never boast- ed of the jawbreaking name by which it is known. The lake has the longest and most unpronounceable name of any in the world, and residents and visitors who pass the summer on its shores and islands are quietly suggest- ing a substitute for the unwieldy In- dian term which for many years has been applied to this body of water. The full name of the lake is Chargog- gagoggmanchogagoggagungamaug, but the residents have contracted it to Chaubunagungamaug.-Engineer. Boiled Clotheslines. When I buy a new clothesline.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local arplications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which le nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

ItolcostolcolitoSto DitoteoleoltoStopog, HIS LITTLEyrricnr. WARD 0 ft r g A Story Having More to Do With 'othethe Child's Governess Than X the Child Herself. X frolsoitio9eolitodto400rtoisolsortotsodi It was very annoying. Leslie Thom- as threw the letter impatiently on the table and gazed for some time into the glowing embers of his bachelor fireside. What had he done? He, a sober minded, single man, to be saddled with a child for the rest of his days; he, who disliked children, to be the guard- ian and protector of a girl who was nothing to him until she should arrive at an age to take care of herself. Yet he had promised the child's father. With an impatient sigh, he picked up the letter again and read the contents. Dear Mr. Thomas -1 trust you will not consider this a piece of interfereece on my part, but I thought it necessary for you to know that your little ward, Eva Gresham, has now reached the age of five, without once 'having seen the face of her guardian. I am anxious to know what you in- tend to do in the way of her education and thought perhaps you would better judge by com- ing down soon to see her. Yours faithfully, Ross LIERSUSEL. "A piece of impertinence," said the devoted guardian, biting his nail "What Is it to do with Miss Rose He achel, I should like to know? The chl is nothing to me. However, I suppo I must do my duty by her. ru down to Sevenoaks and set matte right straight away, packing my war off to a boarding school and Miss II pudence about her business. She ha had a nice, soft time of it looking aft that child, and now perhaps she wi be sorry she had a finger in the pie." That was how Mr, Leslie Thomas found himself the following afternoon outside a snug little villa at Sevenoaks. He hesitated before knocking. The cottage, he thought, looked rather fine for such humble inhabitants, and yet there was the name written up over the porch right enough—Woodbine Cot- tage—in big gilt letters. Filmy lace curtains fluttered at the windows, through which a glimpse of a daintily furnished drawing room could be seen. The window boxes were gay with flow- ers, and the whole house had a thor- oughly well kept appearance. In some surprise Eva's guardian reached up and lifted the shining door knocker, wondering In spite of himself that he had never had the curiosity to venture here before. The door was opened by a spruce maid, to whose skirts clung a little, girlish mite of five. -Miss Herschel?" he Inquired. with a glance of interest at the child. "Will you please come in, sir?" said the girl, and Mr. Thomas followed the girl into the snuggest little drawing "room ever furnished. He had hardly taken a chair ere Miss Herschel enter- ed, with Eva on her hand. She was a tall, graceful girl of about eight and twenty, with a sweet, wom- anly face, frank eyes and a rich, glow- ing color. "Mr. Thomas! I'm so glad you've come. I thought you would," she said, with a smile, betraying a bewitching dimple in either cheek. "I did so want you to know your little ward. Isn't she a darling?" "A nice little girl indeed," stammer- ed Leslie. "I am glad you sent for me. She is BOW at an age when she should mix up with other children. 1 will see abouta boarding school at ouce." 'A boarding school!" The color deep- ened suddenly in Miss Herschel's cheek, and her eyes flashed indignant- ly. "A boarding school," she repeated warmly, "for a delicate child like that! Nonsense! She wouldn't live a month of it. Besides, I love her and cannot part with her." The haughtiness and assurance with which she spoke surprised and irritated Mr. Thomas, who considered himself a masterful man in his way. "Indeed," he said dryly. "But the future of the child must be considered before personal desires." "She could go to a day school about here, or—or I could spare time to teach her." "Thank you, but I prefer the Idea of a boarding school," said Leslie Thomas. "You forget I am the child's guardian." "An8 you seem to forget that I have taken the place of the child's mother," said the girl quickly. "Well, you have been paid for it." They were insulting words, and Les- lie was sorry the motnent he had utter- ed them. Even then he was surprised to see the effect they had upon the girl. She rose Instantly, trembling in ev- ery limb, the color coming and going in her cheeks and with her eyes ablaze with Indignation. "Paid for it! Yes," she said rapidly. "And for all you knew and for all the interest you took in me and the child 1 might have been a wicked, worthless woman who accepted the money for her own use and shamefully neglected and ill used the child." With this she swept him a look of ut- ter disdain and contempt and, walking over to her writing table, unlocked a drawer and drew forth a small box in which reposed a little hoard of bank notes and _golden coins. "Here are Eva's savings," she said stiffly; "fifty pounds yearly for nearly five years. It is a nice little sum. Will you please take it with her now ?" Leslie Thomas turned abashed from the scornful brown eyes and by way of diversion picked up the child, who beat him furiously with her little doubled fists. Leslie laughed awkwardly and set her down. "She Is a little mite," he said. "I suppose she will not be the worse for a s. Id se se 11 rs d little more coddling. What do you ea -1i Shall we keep the peace for another twelve months?" The girl swept him a deep courtesy. "My lord is gracious," she said, with mock gratitude; and then, with a sud den change of manner, she turned from him, with a sob, and caught the child passionately to her breast. • • • • • * • Emboldened by a strong sense of du- ty, which had never troubled him be- fore the interview with Eva's good friend, Leslie Thomas paid frequent visits to the little villa at Sevenoaks Miss Herschel was consulted about e school in the neighborhood for his little ward, her talents were discussed, her toys chosen and her pleasures arrang- ed, and in the mutual interest for the child's welfare the altercation at their first meeting was forgotten, and the two became fast friends—nay, more, for the line color in 11118S Herschel's cheet deepened to an alarming degree wha the familiar knock came at the door, and, although Leslie Thomas had as yet spoken no words but those of kindly friendship, his eyes were uncon- sciously eloquent. But silenceircould not be maintained for long, and one day when Leslie had accidentally met her returning from a walk he purposely returned to the sub- ject of a boarding school for the hap- less little Eva. This time Miss Herschel maintained her composure and smiled severely. She. knew her power now. "Do you want to be saddled with the child all your life?" he demanded. "If you put it that way—yes." "But you may marry," this anxiously. "In such an event," began Miss Her- schel, coloring and with a swift, up- ward glance, "she would still be in the care of her guardian." "Then you would leave her?" asked Leslie. "Oh, no. She would still remain as my little daughter." This time her eyes were withdrawn, for, with a burst of eloquence, Leslie had caught her in a close embrace. "Do you really mean it, Rose?" he murmured at length. "Can you really look upon me as a lover after—after my rudeness to you and my brutality to that child?" "Yes, I think I can," said Rose, smil- ing, "even after your `brutality.' But listen, and don't think Me quite disin- terested with regard to little Eva. Her father was once betrothed to me." "To you!" said Leslie, suddenly re- leasing her. "Yes, but you needn't be jealous, dear. It was a most prosaic affair. and he afterward fell In love with and mar- ried Eva's mother, who died, as you know, soon after the little one's birth. Perhaps it was natural for my poor Herbert when he knew that he was dying to wishoto place the little orphan in my care." "Then you love the child for her fa- ther's sale?" said Leslie almost resent- fully. "No; for her own and for his sad memory," said Rose gravely. "Is she to be your little daughter, too, or only mine?" "She shall be ours," said Leslie, with some fervor. "She was the means of bringing us together, and for that alone I owe her a debt of gratitude I shall never be able to repay." "Except by being good to her and her adopted mother for the rest of your life," said Miss Herschel, lifting her lips temptingly. And Leslie sealed the compact.—Pen- ny Pictorial Magazine. Verdi on Berilos. "Berlioz was a poor invalid, at odds with everybody, acrid and malignant. Ile possessed great, acute genius. The rare gift of Instrumentation was his. He forestalled Wagner In many or- chestral effects. The Wagnerltes will not agree to this, but It is so neverthe- less. He did not know moderation He lacked the calm and, I will say, the equipoise that are indispensable to completeness in art. He always went to extremes, even when he did a praise- worthy thing. He was treated badly enough while he lived. Now he is dead, hosanna!" In 1871 Arrivabene sent some verses on the nightingale and asked Verdi to set them to music. Verdi wrote his excuses. "Your verses are pretty, but you know well that I am not good at do- ing fugitive pieces. And, then, do you imagine that after I had made a fccv trills and a few ascending scales, thinking to imitate the nightingale, that I should have a melody? Ab, no! Melodies are not made of trills and scales. "Don't be angry with me if I run down Rossini a little, for Rossini need have no fear of abuse. Art will be the gainer when critics know enough and have the courage to speak the truth about him."—Verdi's Letters. ",Hand to /Routh" Livers. One of the paradoxes of waste is that the persons most addicted to it are not men and women of Independent means who can support themselves in spite of their extravagant expenditure, but the poorer classes. There is hardly an able- bodied laborer who might not become financially independent if he would but carefully husband his receipts and guard against the little leaks of need- less expense. But unfortunately this Is the one thing which the workingman finds it the hardest to do. There are a hundred laborers who are willing to work hard to every half dozen who are willing properly to husband their earn- ings. Instead of hoarding a small per- centage of their receipts so as to pro- vide against sickness or want of em- ployment they eat and drink up their earnings as they go, and thus in the first financial crash, when mills and factories "shut down" and capitalists lock up their cash instead of using it in great enterprises, they are ruined. Men who thus live "from hand to mouth," never keeping more than a day's march ahead of actual want, are little better off than slaves.—Success. Classified. "She is a clergyman's daughter, you said, didn't you?" inquired a young man of a friend who bad introduced him. "Yes," was the reply.

The saying "going to Canossa" refers to the humiliating pilgrimage made by the Emperor Henry IV to Italy in the year 1077. Henry had objected to the claims advanced by Gregory Hilde- branddand, refusing to submit, was ex- communicated by that pontiff. The emperor at first laughed at the sen- tence, but took a more serious view when he found himself deserted even by his personal attendants and resolved on a journey to Italy to make his peace with the pope. The latter was then at the Castle of Canossa, a fortress of the Countess Mathilda and situated In the mountains of Modena. Thither the em- peror hastened, but the pope refused to see him save under the most degrad- ing conditions. The desperate situation of Henry compelled him to submit, and for three clays and nights, barefooted and bare- headed, clad only in a hair shirt, the raiment of a penitent, he waited at the gate. At the end of this fearful pen- ance, which was undergone in the month of January, he was admitted to the papal presence, was absolved and received his dominion as a gift from the pope. The expression has ever since been current as indicative of abject submission on any terms im- posed by the conqueror. They Weren't Fed, "Some years ago," said a San Fran- cisco man, "a globe trotting English- man came into the city by the Golden Gate, and it fell to my lot to entertain him. So one night 1 took him to dine at the far famed Cliff House. It was a beautiful moonlight night, and from where we sat upon the porch we look- ed out upon the broad bosom of the Pacific ocean. The moon's light made a path across the waters, and in its center the Seal rocks lay like a black patch. The Englishman inquired what they were and upon my informing him said: 'Bah Jove, are those the Seal rocks of which I have heard? I'd very much like to see the seals. 1 say, my man,' turning to the waiter, 'caun't I see the seals? Don't you feed them at night?' "'Oh, yessir.' replied the wafter, who was of Hibernian descent, without blinking an eye. 'At 1) o'clock we al- ways gives them their ham and eggs. sir.' "The Englishman accepted this sur- prising piece of Information without turning a hair and announced that he would surely be on hand at the time mentioned. He was; but, needless to say, the waiter was not." Knocked tier Oat With a Look. While talking of the many uotable peciple he met during his pugilistic ca- reer John L. Sullivan said oue day lu New York: "Once when I was in Syd- ney I had a suit of rooms directly over Sarah Bernhardt. I. never met the lady, and 1 didn't clinch care. She a as jabbering French all the time and was rehearsing constantly in her room. 1 heard so much of it that 1 pretty near had the willies. One u-lght 1 happened to follow Sarah Into her majesty's thea- ter In Sydney, and I had a good chance to size her up. She- was a feather- weight all right, ano there was so Intel powder on her face that I thought she'd made a mistake. She got a look at me. and because I had been so much anuoy- ed with her jabbering I scowled at her —gave her the look that usen to so -tire the dubs who tried to stay four rounds with tue. Well. sir. Sarah gave one long, mournful howl and fainted away. After that she didn't jabber any more, for she'd found out who was living up stairs." Not Clipped. A naturalist says that the squirrel tribe is increasing all over the wooded districts of Eugland and in the Seottkit lowlands. In some parts of Seotiand, notably in the north, the little creature is unknown. It is not so long ago that a Scotch judge was trying a case which had to do with the escape of a squirrel from its cage and the question as to whether it had been stolen. "Were its wings clipped?" he asked a witness. "But, my lord," interposed the coun- sel, "It is a quadruped." "Quadruped or no quadruped," said his honor sternly, "if its wings had been clipped It could never have es- caped" Use of a Long Breath. When chilled by exposure to cold. take a long breath, with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat this several times until you begin to feel the heat return lug. It requires only a very short time to do this. The long breath quickens the pulse, and this causes the blood to circulate taster. The blood flows into all parts of the veins and arteries and gives out a great deal of heat. It is stated that a long, deep breath, held as long as possible, will close the pores of a heated skin, and the danger of taking cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus guarded against Why the Boy Was Sure. A certain officious bead nurse In the accident ward of a local hospital re- ceived an unexpected "call down" re- cently. An unfortunate young man of the age of 10 had been practicing with a dartridge pistol several sizes too large for him, and the result was unpleasant. The doctors and nurses had cleansed and dressed the wound, and he was resting easily. Then the nurse, who bad not been present and who hated to miss a trick, walked over to the little boy's bed, around which the attendants were still standing, and asked him solicitously: "Are you sure that the bullet isn't sticking there still?" "Sure." "What makes you think so?" "It was a blank cartridge." There was a sharp decline in that nurse's stock of pride, and the laugh- ter failed of unanimity by one dissent- ing voice.—New York Commercial Ad- vertiser.

Long white or black hairs appear to float over the whole mixture, and indescribable checks, bro- ken stripes, colored knotted woolen spots, are interwoven on this novelty. Taking into consideration these thick woolly materials, a flat garniture of passementerie, strappings of plain soft cloth, taffetas and guipures are sure to be necessitated as trimmings. Judging from models already seen, It would seem as though a zealous attempt is being made by some houses to entirely change the last season's plain flowing skirt. A return to flounces appears inevita- ble, but not the deep gathered frills worn some years ago, for there Is an endeavor to retain the smooth, close fit- ting curves round the hips in the upper part by the cloth being shaped en forme. This is usually cut in three shaped pieces, allowing a slight widen- ing out at the base. A great Parisian connoisseur of fash- ion, whose ideas have always been to create dresses perfectly ladylike and graceful, will hold to the long, clinging skirt, slightly draped perhaps If the ma- terial is soft and flowing, widening out In lily fashion toward the base. Other skirts reveal a return to the old time pannier period, although in each case there is a notable feature in main - CHEESE DELICACIES. A Delicious Little Dish — Cheese Straw Dainty Salad. No article of food is more relished when rightly prepared than cheese, in spite of the warning that Cheese is a saucy ell, Digesting all except itselt It is one of the dishes especially in favor. for nocturnal repasts, and there are dozens of ways in which it may be combined, all of which are delicious. A dinner seems incomplete without cheese in some form or other, usually served just before dessert. The Eng- lish serve celery or cucumbers with it, brit thin milk crackers or wafer biscuits allowed to crisp just a moment before serving are delicious served with it. It is well to remember that parmesan Is the best cheese to use for cooking purposes, as it retains more flavor than other kinds; also that it is kept moist by being wrapped in cheesecloth. Dry hard cheese is liked by many if browned slightly in the oven, and it is just the thing to grate for soup, espe- cially tomato soup. Any plain soup will be greatly improved by a cupful of cheese, added the last thing .before serving. A delicious little dish is made from one cupful of bread or cracker crumbs. the same quantity of cheese, three eggs, a small piece of butter, salt and pepper and two cupfuls of milk, well mixed and baked fifteen or twenty minutes. Cheese straws are very tempting and may be made by using one cupful of cheese, one pint of flour, a pinch of baking powder, one cupful of butter, salt, a dash of cayenne pepper; mix with cold water; cut in narrow straws; bake in moderate oven. Serve with salad. A dainty salad is simply made of one head of lettuce arranged on a salad dish and sprinkled with a quarter of a pound of Edam cheese broken in small pieces. Pour over all a French dress- ing, which is easily prepared by mix- ing four tablespoonfuls of vinegar, salt and pepper. So many like the combination of let- tuce and cheese that we give another recipe. Serve little egg shaped balls made from a moistened roll of cream cheese in nests of lettuce and eover with the French dressing. With this dish serve brown bread sandwiches buttered and cut very thin. — Table Talk. DAINTY LINGERIE. Some Attractive Styles That Plane. In Autumn Trousseaus. Fashions in lingerie, besides having general interest at this season, are par- ticularly important in view of the preparation of trousseaus for many autumn weddings. Some pretty styles are shown In the cut.

Shirt waists still remain an impor- tant item, and for this purpose come fine flannels in various pretty colorings. Pale green with a darker green fancy stripe, helietrope with white, butcher blue with a white check and endless otber combinations or self colors ap- pear. Woolen tartans and fancy vel- veteens with minute hailstone spots on a colored ground or bolder oriental pat- terns in a wide range of colorings also suggest the more substantial waists for coining days. Of the waists sketched in the first cut the one which appeals somewhat to the prevailing military fancy is made of tucked material, the plastron, wtth its smart little pockets, and the turn- down collar, being of plain cloth. Ths other is somewhat similar In design, but more elaborate, opening In front to display a tiny vest of gathered net. The Levers and collar are ornamented with Ombroldery or covered with lace, while the double breasted vest of plain cloth adds distinction to the model. A charming dinner or theater bodice is shown in the second cut. It is of tucked chiffon, with black and white embroidery and satin ribbon. When Gold Look. Green.

No. 3, for a lawn or Silk nightdress, has a simple square yoke of lace, which receives the ample gathered material. No. 4 shows an excellent set of com- binations, the tucked revers and simu- lated vest of which form a pleasant change in decoration. A New Way With Green Peppers. At a recent grand luncheon green peppers were cut through the middle, the stem being tied up with pretty lit- tle green ribbons, the interior stuffed with celery and apple and the green pepper dressed with mayonnaise sauce. Notes From The Jewelers' Circular. Souvenir cups are the latest fad. Cravat rings are liked by many. The scarab grows more and more into general use. Handsome clasps will be a feature of L'Aiglon collars, which are to be worn the coming season. Old English silverware Is greatly af- fected by fashionable folk. The genu- ine is, of course, in demand, but mod- ern silver in the old styles has great vogue. The more one sees of the photo signet rings the more taking the idea appears. They are now dubbed the "fiancee" or engagement ring. The flat top is hing- ed on and when closed conceals the pic- ture. There is a fashion of attaching some little Iporte-bonheur" of trifling cost to other aiore important ornaments. Some of the girls have adopted a hand as the little golden emblem that shall Insure them good luck, and It is hung on chain, brooch or bracelet.

To see a horse when out at pasture rolling on the ground and endeavoring to tura over on his back is a common sight, but how many people have no- ticed that in doing this horses observe an invariable rule? The rule is that he always rolls over either at the first or third attempt— never at the secInd—and more than three attempts are never made. In other words, if the horse succeeds In rolling over at the first try, well and good—that satisfies him; but If the first attempt Is a failure, the second one always Is. Then he either rolls quite over at the third or gives it up. He never makes a fourth. If horses are rolling on sloping ground, they usually roll up hill. This is more easy of explanation than the strange custom regulating the number of at- tempts. As to this no adequate reason has ever been offered. Will those in- genious people who tell us why a dog turns round before lying down, and why ducks walk behind each other in a string instead of abreast, explain why horse never makes four attempts to Toll over and never succeeds at the second? Is Life Worth Living? Then don't neglect a cough or cold, especially when only twenty-five cents will buy a bottle of Mexican Syrup. It is so soothing, and so many consumptives have been made well by its use. Read some of the testimonials on the wrapper around each bottle that prove this remedy more. sure for deep seated colds, habitual coughing, and even consumption, than any other remedy known to physicians, many of whom recommenff and prescribe it where less efficacious remedies fail.

If you climb a mountain. your height decreases by three-quarters of an inch, and it may even diminish, exceptional- ly, by a full inch. This is a fact known to all experi- enced mountain and Alpine climbers. On reaching the summit of the heights that form the pleasure ascents of holi- day makers in the Alpine districts the stature of the climber Is found to have become less to the extent already men- tioned. Doctors think that the attitude as- sumed of necessity in ascending is the cause of this diminution. Some per- sons believe that the pressure of the at- mosphere produces this shrinking. In favor of the medical theory there is the other unquestionable fact that the de- crease of stature is greater in those who carry a heavy pack during the climb. When the Alpinist has descended to the ordinary level, his height begins to increase, but the normal length of the body is not attained uutil several hours after reaching the regular surface of the earth. King of Virginia. Apropos of the British royal titles a reference to colonial possessions ap- peared in an English sovereign's des- ignation so long ago as the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza- beth, and then he described her as "queen of England, France and Ireland and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir- ginia." It may also be remembered that the Virginians refused to acknowl- edge Oliver Cromwell's protectorate un- til he sent a fleet to compel them to do. so. Charles II., in return expression of the cpionists' loyalty, had himself proclaimed in Virginia on his restora- tion as "king of Great Britain, Ireland and Virginia." The further statement has been made that Charles caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scot- land. Certain it is that they appear so on English coins struck as late as 1773 by order of George III.—Liverpool Post. A Turkish Bank Note. The bill is on imperial green paper, a color held sacred In Turkey, which the government alone is permitted to use. On the top and sides are the following words In Turkish, "To be paid to 'the bearer, without interest, 20 piasters." At the top of the note is the sultan's toghra, surrounding which is a quota- tion from the Koran. Underneath are the words, "Twenty plasters, paper money, to be used in the place of gold at the Bank of Constantinople." At the base of the note is the seal of the mint and on the back the seal of the minister of the treasury. The toghra is considered sacreOnd is guarded by the three highest officials of the mint, whose sole duty IS to watch it. Getting at a Pact.

Reasons Why Animal Figures A Rarely Seen on Persian Ru Prayer Rugs of the Mohammeda and Their tae—The Rims of Siva The designs of eastern rugs are oft the s nt u ► po a eor s outcome of the fan of the weaver. Sometimes they a handed down from one generation another. Tn some cases young girls a taught the design by an adult, w marks it in the sand. At other times drawing of the rug is made on pape the instructor showing her pupils t arrangement of every thread and t color to be used. When all this h been done, the pupils must make t rug without looking at the drawing. Persian rugs excel those of oth countries in artistic design as well in harmonious coloring. Tlie Persia seem to have a natural intuition in th use and blending of different shade and In the designs that contain the certain colors they achieve the happie results. It is really wonderful wh exquisite fabrics these people, bor and reared in ignorance and povert produce. The designs in Persian rugs are ge erally floral, and in some districts, e pecially Fars, the women weavers 11 vent the designs, varying them ever two or three years. The Mohammeda religion does not allow any direct rep resentation of animal forms. muse quently rugs woven under its lnfluenc take floral, geometric and vegetabl forms. The Shlah sect of Moslems however, numbering about 15,000,000 of whom 8,000,000 are Persians. do no regard representations of animals a unlawful. By the industry of this se and that of infidels and of all who dis regard the law of the Koran anima forms are seen on some Persian rugs. The prayer rug was evidently invent ed for the purpose of providing th worshipers with one absolutely ciea place on which to offer prayers. It not lawful for a Moslem to pray on an place not perfectly clean, and utiles each one has his own special rug he I not certain that the spot has not bee polluted. With regard to the purity o the place of prayer Mohammedans ar specially careful when ►naking thea pilgrimages, the rugs which they take with them having been preserved from pollution by being rolled up until the journey is begun or until the hour for prays; arrives. It does not matter to followers of Mohammed how nada a rug that is on the floor may -be, because over it they place the pray- er rug when their devotions begin. The Turkish rugs matje at Sivas are always woven of wool, and almost ev- ery hamlet carries on the Industry of weaving in the homes. There are no factories, the young girls and women doing the work here as in other parts of Turkey. Sivas rugs are in most cases small, measuring about eight by four feet, but in these years larger and more attractive rugs are being made. Even the poorest families have tine rugs, for they regard them as valuable property, to be sold only under the pressure of great extremity. The weav- ers are so frugal in their manner of living that their daily earning of 15 to 19 cents is sufficient to supply their wants. Their food consists usually of rice and crushed wheat, with occasion- ally a small piece of mutton. Smyrna is only a mart for the sale of comparatively inferior rugs that are made in the interior from the coarse hair of the Angora goat. These are woven in irregular designs and, al- though not artistic, are largely sought its coverings for the bare floors and to add warmth. The weaving of these rugs is crudely done by girls and wo- men. Sometimes the loom is primitive- ly constructed from the trunks of trees. The designs are very simple and have either been handed down from earlier generations or are supplied from the city. Yuruk rugs are so called from a band of nomads who dwell among the moun- tains of Anatolia. They have large flocks of fine sheep and weave rugs of firm. even texture. The colors are very good, the field often of dark brown, or- namented with large designs. About 200 years ago small embroider- ed rugs were largely made In Persia, chiefly at lspahan. These were prayer rugs, and on each of them, near one end, was a small embroidered mark to show where the bit of sacred earth from Mecca was to be placed. In obe- dience to a law of the Koran that the head must be bowed to the ground in prayer this was touched by the fore- head when the presentation was made, and so the letter of the law was carried out. The custom prevails. The Persian women who weave the finest prayer rugs seldom weave any other kind of rug.—"Rugs, Oriental and Occidental." re Ss. as en ey re to re ho a r, he he as he er as ns e s, se st at 11 Y. n- s- 1- y n e e s ct e n I s y s P ll e r Hie Error.

The usual idea that a drowning roan is stretching out his hands for aid or "catching at straws" is not altogether satisfactory. A possible explanation has lately been suggested, and this supposes that the drowning man, losing all his acquired habits and even some of those inherited from more recent parents, in his a tett P oroes back ack to the instinctive movements of his arboreal ancestors, and the movements of the drowning man are those of a frighten- ed ape seeking safety by clinging to the nearest tree. The movement is certainly instinc- tive, for it can only be eliminated by considerable training and voluntary efforts, and yet it is fatal to the Indi- vidual, for the specific gravity of no human body is so nearly that of water that the removal of the arms from the supporting fluid at once sinks the face beneath the surface. In cases of so called "cramps" the victim, often a highly trained swimmer, generally throws up the hands, but these cases are probably due to heart failure, and a similar movement takes place on land when the subject receives a fatal heart wound, and it is even a common ex- pression of shock or astonishment. The ordinary movements of walking or run- ning would keep a man's face above water, but these curious climbing movements of both bands and feet make floating impossible and are re- sponsible for many deaths by drown- ing.—Cincinnati Enquirer. DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT. How the Paving Value of Asphalt Wise Brought to Notice. All forms of bituminous pavements, whether inanufactured from natural or artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial stone pavements. The industry started with the use of the natural rock as- phalt from the mines in the Val de Travers, Canton Neufchatel, Switzer- land. The mines were discovered in 1721, but it was 1849 that its utility as a road covering was first noticed. The rock was then being mined for the purpose of extracting the bitumen con- tained in it for use in medicine and arts. It is a limestone found impreg- nated with bitumen, of which it yields on analysis from 8 to 14 per cent. It was observed that pieces of rock which fell from the wagon were crush- ed by the weight of wheels, and under tile combined Influence of the traffic and heat of the sun a good road surface was produced. A macadam road of as- phalt rock was then made which gave very good results, and finally in 1854 a portion of the Itue Bergere was laid in Paris of compressed asphalt on a concrete foundation. In 1858 a still larger sample was laid, and from that time it has been laid year by year in Paris. From Paris It extended to Lon- don, being laid on Threadneedle street in 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and in successive years on other streets.—Mu- nicipal Journal and Engineer. No Limit to New Ideas. There never bas been a time when the individual has stood for so much as he does at present. There has never been a time when individuality and personal initiative brought such amazing rewards. There never has been a time when the individual could or did exert so much influence as at present. There is no individual today so insignificant that, if he became the medium of a new or potent ideal, he would be prevented by uncontrollable conditions from expressing his idea and reaping his just reward. In all ages up to this man has been, owing to his limitations of physical force, a plaything of conditions, a slave of his environment. Skill and intelli- gence were but two of the factors in his progress, bounded and restrained by limitations to their employment. Now, however, with universal energy at the disposal of each individual, this terrestrial sphere scarce puts bounds to his field of influence.—Cassier's Magazine. Fruit Aeids Kill Germs. A writer in a scientific periodical states that it is not generally known that fruit acids are germicidal. "The juice," he says, "of limes and lemons is as deadly to cholera germs as cor- rosive sublimate or sulphur fumes or formaldehyde or any other disinfectant. It is so powerful a germicide that it the juice of one lime or lemon be squeezed into a glass of water that is then left standing for ten or fifteen minutes the water will be disinfected. It makes little difference where the water has been obtained or whether it has been boiled or filtered." As boiled or filtered water is not always obtain- able this is worth remembering. What You Put In Your Mouth. It is through the mouth that most malignant germs find their way into the body, and therefore one would think that it was hardly necessary to warn people against the risks they are running in using it as a sert of third hand. One would imagine that hardly any one needed cautioning against holding money with the lips, and yet an immense number of otherwise thor- oughly cleanly people indulge in this dirty, dangerous practice.

It Puny Man Could Accomplish Ei- ther of These impossible Things, He Could Cause "the Wreck of Mat- ter and the Crash of Worlds." Ifco could y u d imagine an earthworm trying to run the Niagara Electric Lighting and Power Transmission works, you would have some faint idea of the capacity of the greatest human genius that ever lived to run the visible universe. That is probably why the wisest of us is not permitted to un- derstand the final secrets of nature. Here is a good example. Take a rifle into a place sufficiently far from the habitations of men; put the butt 011 the ground and support it so that the bar- rel points straight up and pull the trig- ger. The bullet will leave the muzzle with a velocity of, say, 3,000 feet a sec- ond. It will rise to an enormous height, come to a standstill for an in- finitesimal fraction of a second and be- gin to fall back again. It will strike the earth with very nearly but not quite the same velocity as it left the muzzle of the gun. It would be exact- ly the same but for the resistance of the air. What has happened is this: The ex- plosion of the powder has changed a solid into a gas, and the expansive en- ergy of this has driven the bullet up- ward. In other words, it has for the time overcome that mysterious force by which the earth draws everything toward its own center. But when the energy of the exploded powder is exactly balanced by the pull of gravitation the bullet falls back. In the first second after its turn It falls 16 feet, in the next 32, in the next 64, in the next 128, and so on till it returns with ever increasing velocity whence it started. Nothing has been lost, nothing gain- ed. The gases set free by the explo- sion of the powder weigh exactly as much as the solid. Some of the energy has been used as heat, some in propel- ling the bullet. Gravitation, overcome for awhile, bas reasserted itself. The sum of matter and force in the uni- verse is absolutely unchanged. This is as true of the quickened beat of a girl's heart when she meets her lover as it is of the march of the plan- ets and suns through the fields of space. Every atom of matter, every unit of force, throughout the universe is con- stant, external and exactly balanced, and the whole strength and genius of humanity could not increase or dimin- ish them by the slightest fraction. Now, let us imagine what would hap- pen if man could make that bullet strike the earth with greater or less force than it left the muzzle of the gun. He would either have increased or de- creased the total of universal energy, and In either case he would have thrown first the solar system and then the whole universe out of gear. The earth and all the other planets would begin to revolve in different or- bits. The sun, with its family of worlds, would alter its path round the un- known center about which it revolved. Then world would be hurled against world and sun against sun, and stars and planets would be reduced to the flaming gases from which they cooled into solids and liquids before time be- gan to be. Just the same catastrophe would hap- pen 1f man could either create or en- tirely destroy a grain of sand on the seashore. The balance of the universe, in which swing stars and planets, whose weight is inexpressible in human figures (this tiny world of ours weighs 6,000,000,009,000,000,000,000 tons), is in- finitely more delicate than that which the chemist has to keep in an airtight case and at an even temperature lest a breath of air should throw it out of gear. Thus the destruction or creation of a rain of sand would change the orbit f the earth round the 'sun. In the ne case it would be drawn closer and oser to" the sun, perhaps after thou- nds of revolutions to be swallowed p in fiery ruin. In the other case It ould gradually leave the sun and year y year wander farther away into re - ons of space where human life would g 0 0 cl sa u w b gi be Impossible. The result of the dislocation of such a stupendous system, which has work- ed with unfailing exactitude for count- less ages, is, of course, utterly beyond the scope of human imagination, and yet such a seeming trifle as the creation or destruction of a single grain of sand might, and probe di would, plunge it into utter chaos and ruin.—Pearson's. His Ability. "And how Is my old school friend Bimson getting on?" said the man who had returned to bis native city after a long absence. "Oh, he's doing first rate." "But he was such a bright boy we al- ways expected he would display espe- cial ability." "Well, I don't know that he hasn't displayed especial ability." "I never hear him mentioned in con- nection with any of your elections." "No; that's just the point. He has shown ability to go ahead quietly and build up a business. He doesn't have to run for office."—Washington Star. Unavoidable.

That is partly the reason wiry science has en- abled us to see it. The explanation of the paradox i this: Silence, as we understand it, sim ply means that there are sounds to delicate or too loud for the ear to regis ter. In other words. when we can' hear anything we evil that conditio "silence." But wherever you are ther are sounds around yon. Even In th deepest mine the air vibrates an makes a sound. An instrument . ha been invented that will catch thes sounds and permit of the vibrations be ing represented pictorially on a screen and in that way you may see silence and properly understand what i means. By comparing the pictures of noises with those of that condition of things known as silence we gain an idea of the difference between a noisy night, for instance, and one when "absolute si- lence reigns," as the novelist puts it. It is rather surprising to find so much dis- turbance at the time when everything appears to be perfectly quiet.—Pear- son's Weekly. Diplomatic. The late Lord Savile used to say, ac- cording to The Coedit! Friend, "that high diplomatists 1 .1 always to be on their guard against intriguing women, mainly Russian agents. who would use any wile to extract information. Dur- ing the Russo-Turkish war, when Eu- rope was always on the verge of a crisis and Russian statesmen were most anxious to know what England would do under given circumstances, a lady came up to !dui suddenly at a ball and said: "I bear that the Russians have made a forced march and entered Constan- tinople," hoping no doubt that he would be surprised into some indiscreet ex- pression. He merely replied: "Ineed! And I suppose the sultan has conferred on them the order of the Turkish Bath!" The lady continued gravely: "And they say in Paris that if Eng- land does not interfere the eastern question is settled in favor of Russia." "And that," replied his excellency, "Is, I suppose, the new Judgment of Paris." Don't Be Afraid of Work. iOne thing that keeps young men iown is their fear of work. They aim to find genteel occupations, so they can dress well, not soil their clothes and handle things with the tips of their fingers. They do not like to o get their shoulders under the wheel, _ and they prefer to give orders to oth- t ,ers or figure as masters and let some n one else do the drudgery. There is no e doubt that indolence and laziness are e the chief obstacles to success. d When we see a boy who has just se- a cured a position take hold of every - e *thing with both bands and "jump right into his work" as if he meant to succeed, we have confidence that he will prosper. But if he stands around t and asks questions when told to do anything; if he tells you that this or that belongs to some other boy to do, for it is not his work; if he does not try to carry out his orders in the cor- rect way; if he wants a thousand ex- planations when asked to run an er- rand and makes his employer think that he could have done the whole thing himself, one feels like discharging such a boy on the, spot, for he is con- vinced that he was not cut out for suc- cess. That boy will be cursed with mediocrity or will be a failure. There is no place in this century for the lazy man. He will be pushed to the wall.— Success. Wood Too Hard to Burn. There are certain kinds of wood that are too hard to burn, or refuse to Ignite for some other reason, such as iron- wood and the goal brier root, but it is a curiosity to come across a piece of common deal—the soft, light wood of which so many boxes are made—that cannot be set fire to. The piece of wood in question was common white deal from Sweden. but was remarkable for its comparative weight. It had formed part of a boat belonging to a whaler and had been dragged below the surface of the wa- ter to the depth of more than half a mile by a harpooned whale. The length of line and the short distance from the point of descent after being struck at which the whale rose to the surface was it proof of the depth to which it had dragged the boat. Only part of the boat came up again at the end of the line, and it was taken on board when the whale had been killed.— That piece of wood wits so hard that it would not burn in a gas jet. The weight of water bad com- pressed it.—London Standard. Birds' Song., A French writer, Henri Coupon, says that, notwithstanding the fact of their simplicity, the songs of birds cannot be imitated with musical instruments be- cause of the impossibility of reproduc- ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of birds, while corresponding with our musical scale, also include vibrations occupying the intervals between our notes. The duration of birds' songs is usually very short, two or three sec- onds for thrushes and chaffinches, four or five seconds for blackbirds, but from two to five minutes for the lark. How to Quit Chewing Tobacco. The "substitute cure" is worthy of the attention of sufferers. We have a citizen of Mobile who has tried it. He was an inveterate chewer of tobacco. He stopped chewing and took to chew- ing a pine stick. He always has this bit of wood between his teeth, in wak- ing hours at least. He has not tasted - tobacco in many years.—Mobile Reg- ister. Shoulder Protection. In the steel curb shoulder protection which now forms a part of the equip- ment of almost all cavalry the troops have a permanent reminder of one of the most exciting adventures which be- fell Sir George Luck, the lieutenant general commanding the Bengal forces. During the Afghan operations of 1878 to 1880 he took his regiment, the Fif- teenth hussars, up to Kandahar and en- countered at Takht-i-Pul a strong body of hillmen led by Afghan sowars, who made things pretty warm for him for a few minutes. In the hand to hand fighting he became engaged with a gi- gantic Pathan, who broke down his guard and would have cloven him from shoulder to belt but that his wife had sewed on his shoulders in the lining of his tunic a couple of steel curb chains, one of which broke the force of the slash. The incident so impressed the mili- tary authorities in India that what is now known as the Luck or "lucky" shoulder curb was soon afterward in- troduced.—Military Mail. A Last Joke. John D. Long, in the Massachusetts campaign of 1878, was making his first run for governor against General Ben Butler, who had captured the Demo- cratic nomination, and Judge Josiah G. Abbott, who was the candidate of the old line Democrats. The late Judge Thompson was mak- ing a speech for Abbott before a big Democratic audience and, after prais- ing the candidate as a jurist and a statesman, asked sarcastically, "And now, who is this John L -L -Long?" No one answering, he proceeded: "They say he has made a translation of Ho- mer's 'Iliad!' What g -g -good is that to us? All Democrats read Homer in the original." At this the person to whom the judge was telling the story laughed, but the judge continued: "Th-th-that's not the real joke at all! The real joke is that not a m -m -man in the audience so much as smiled!" Where She Differed From Paul. A Scotch clergyman called upon a parishioner not long since, an old wom- an who was not blessed with many virtues, but who possessed a very va- ried assortment of vices. He took the latter as a text for a sermon and spoke to her at considerable length upon the subject, concluding with some extracts from one of St. Paul's epistles which he felt to be apropos. She didn't speak.for several minutes alter he tad finished, and he thought that he had made an impression upon her at last.

Some years ago the writer paid a vis- it to Alvan Clark at Cauibridgeport to witnt.ss the testing of the huge lens for the fatuous Lick t:;ic•_:r„_re. At the end of the long, dark ruota the largest taint glass then In the WJlid was set up on edge. From a distance of about fifty feet a pencil of light was flashed into the heart of the disk and reflected back into the obser'ver's eye. The slightest imperfections, if any, in the glass would then be revealed by the curves of light and the lines of polarization. "Now," said Mr, Clark, "I will show you the wonderful sensitiveness of the lens to outside influences. Every hu- man body gives out heat and when brought near to extremely sensitive substances affects them to a greater or less extent. Now watch." He walked down to the lens and held his hand under it about two feet away. Instantaneously a marvelous spectacle burst into view. It seemed as if the great glass disk had become a living volcano, spurting forth jets of flame. The display was dazzling. Waving, leaping, dancing, the countless tongues of light gleamed and vibrated; then, fit- fully, reluctantly, they died away, leav- ing the lens reflecting only a pure, un- troubled light. "What is it? How do you account for the wonder?" were the eager ques- tions. "It is only the radiation of heat alter- nately expanding and contracting the glass. If I had put my band upon the lens itself, the phenomenon would have been even more violent" To a person ignorant of lenses the al- most supernatural sensitiveness of a mass of glass weighing several hun- dred pounds was astonishing, but to the scientist it is an everyday matter, for he has instruments that will regis- ter with unfailing nicety the approach of a person fifty or a hundred feet away.—Youth's Companion. CONQUERED HER RIVAL. A Pretty and Pathetic Story of Jenny Lind and Grist. We have recently read a beautiful incident. Jenny Lind and Grisi were both rivals for popular favor in Lon- don. Both were invited to sing the same night at a court concern before the queen. Jenny Lind, being the younger, sang first and was so dis- turbed by the fierce, scornful look of Grist that she was at the point of failure when suddenly an inspiration came to her. Tae accompanist was striking the final chords. She asked him to rise and took the vacant seat. Iler fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, and then she sang a little prayer which she had loved as a child. She hadn't sung It for years. As she sang she was no longer in the pres- ence of roy ilty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air, swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintive "pray- er." Gradually the song died away and ended In a sob. There was a si- lence—the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jenny Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into the scornful face that had so discon- certed her. There was no fierce ex- pression now; instead a teardrop glis- tened on the long, black lashes, and after a moment, with the impulsive- ness of a child of the tropics, Grist crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed her arm about her and kissed her, utterly regardless of the audience.— Our Dumb Animals. An Outrage. An old gentleman was present at the reading of the will of a distant rela- tive. He had hardly expected to find himself remembered in it, but pretty soon a clause was read in which a cer- tain field was bequeathed to him. That was good, but the document went on to bequeth the old gray mare in the said field to some one else—a man with whom the old gentleman was not on friendly terms. That was too much for his equanimity, and he interrupted the solemn proceedings and brought a smile to the faces of the company by exclaiming: "Then she's eating my grass!"—Pear- son's. The Highest Court. The Denver Times says that when Tole Bagnell was justice of the peace at Altman, the highest incorpo- rated town in the country, standing 12,000 feet above the sea level, be had occasion to fine a disordezly character $10 and costs. The victim of the operation of justice objected to the finding of the court and announced that he would take an appeal. "What? Appeal, would you?" asked the astonished court. "You can't come any o' that, now. This is the highest court in the United States, and yon can't appeal." Too Liberal. ',VIle—Here's an advertisement Io the paper that you'd better look into.

Chemists tell us that cheese is one of the most nutritious and at the same time one of the cheapest of foods. Its nutritive value is greater than meat, while its cost is much less. But this chemical aspect of the matter does not express the real value of the cheese as a food. Cheese is eaten not because of its nutritive value as expressed by the amount of proteids, fats and carbohy- drates that it contains, but always be- cause of its flavor. Now, physiologists do not find that flavor has any food value. They teach over and over again that our foodstuffs are proteids, fats and carbohydrates and that as food flavor plays absolutely no part. But at the same time they tell us that the body would be unable to live upon these foodstuffs were it not for the flavors. If one were compelled to eat pure food without flavors like the white of an egg, It is doubtful whether one could for a week at a time consume a sufficiency of food to supply his bod- ily needs. Flavor is as necessary as nu- triment. It gives a zest to the food and thus enables us to coraime it properly, and, secondly, it stimulates the glands to s/trete, so that the foods may be satisfactorily digested and assimilated. The whole art of cooking, the great development of flavoring products, the high prices -paid for special foods like lobsters and oysters—these and numer- ous other factors connected with food supply and production are based solely upon this demand for flavor. Flavor is a necessity, but it is not particularly important what the flavor may be. This is shown by the fact that different peo- ples have such different tastes in this respect. The garlic of the Italian and the red pepper of the Mexican serve the same purpose as the vanilla which we put in our ice cream, and all play the part of giving a relish to the food and stimulating the digestive organs to' proper activity.—Professor H. V ,en in Popular Science Monthly. The Hamming Bird's Flight. The flight of the little humming bird is more remarkable than that of the eagle. We can understand the flapping of the eagle's immense wing supporting a comparatively light body. But our little bird has a plump body. His wings are not wide, but long, so he must move them rapidly to sustain his weight, and this be can do to perfec- tion. The vibrations of his wings are so rapid as to make them almost invisi- ble. He can use them to sustain him- self in midair, with his body as motion- less as if perched on a twig. In this way he can sip the nectar of the deli- cate, fine stemmed flowers without alighting for a moment. He never alights while so engaged. He moves from flower to flower with a graceful and rapid movement, sometimes chas- ing away a bee or humming bird moth, of which he Is very jealous. Nor is he much more favorably impressed with any small birds that seem in his way. He knows his power of flight, and he has no fear of any other bird.—Henry Hales in St. Nicholas. Lemurs For the Zoo. The natidnal zoo has just received through an animal dealer in Philadel- phia a magnificent pair of the large black and white lemurs indigenous to the island of Madagascar. This makes the fourth pair of these animals brought to this country, and, In addi- tion to being highly attractive by rea- son of their coat of long jet black and snow white hair and their abnormally large and luminous eyes. they are of very great interest from the viewpoint of science and evolution. The lemur stands in the same rela- tion to apes and monkeys as they in turn stand to the human race, only in the case of the lemurs and apes the "missing link" connecting the two gen- era is in real and actual existence, be- ing realized in the "aye -aye," a pecul- iar animal, also of Madagascar, that is as much lemur as it is simian. - The Retort Courteous. A story oft told is that of Lord —, who when a young man was opposing Mr. Sugden, subsequently lord chancel- lor of England, in a parliamentary con- test. "He's the son of a country bar- ber," said the noble lord. Replying afterward, Mr. Sugden said: "His lordship bas told you that I am nothing but the son of a country bar- ber, but be has not told you all, for I have been a barber myself and worked in my father's shop, and all I wish to say about that is that had his lordship been born the son of a country barber he would have been a barber still. That, to my mind, is quite clear."—Household Words. Her Prayer The Buffalo News tells a story of a four-year-old girl who was spending a night away from home.

THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD B SON. SATURDAY OCT. 19th, 1901. Ex -Gov. .1. S. Pillsbury died at his home in Minneapolis Thursday night of Bright's disease, aged seventy-three years. He was an old resident of the state, coming here in 1855, was ten years in the state senate, governor three terms, and a life regent of the state university, of which he was practically the father. Minnesota has lost one of its ablest and most distinguished citizens. The appointment of S. M. Owen, of Minneapolis, as one of the members of the forestry board, is another of Gov. Van Sant's political blunders. As editor of an alleged agricultural paper he has done more to breed discontent among,_ the farmers than any one man now living in Minne- sota. and should never have been recognized by a republican admin 'istration. A. B. Stickney, president of the Great Western Road, delivered an able address before the national con- vention of bankers at Milwaukee this week, with a number 'of excellent hints concerning the banking busi- ness of the country. Mr. Stickney is one of the brainy men of the northaest who have rapidly come to the front during the past few years. It is estimated that upwards of ten thousand people paid from $1 to $2.50 each to see the Minnesota - Nebraska foot hall game in Minneap- olis last. Saturday, and that the gate receipts were not far from $15,000, to be divided between the two univer- sity teams. Still it is brutal sport at the best, although not under the ban of law. The courts have ordered the re- ceiver of the Washburn, Bayfield, & Iron River Railroad to take up the rails and dispose of them, together with the rolling stock, for the benefit of the creditors. This is the log- ging road built by 1). M. Sabin, of Stillwater, which has been bankrupt for several years. It is extremely doubtful whether President Roosevelt or Yale College will be particularly honored by the degree of LL. D., which is to be con- ferred upon him next Week. These titles are hecoming altogether too corn-, mon in this country to render them of itltV particular value. The hoard of education in Minneap- olis has decided not to exclude un- vaccinated pupils from the schools unless there is an epidemic of small pox in that town. This is the posi- tion taken by the state superintend- ent of schools and attorney general. The growing of sugar beets will never become a success in this state without cheap labor, and that is very harts to find. A farmer cannot pay $2(1 a month and board for his help and sell the beets at $4.25 per ton with any profit. The board of control and the nor- mal board will settle their differ- ences in court, which is eminently proper. It may be stated, however, that if auy state institutions really need a board of control they are the normal schools. The Cyclone has left the passenger trade between Wabasha and St. Paul for the season, and gone to towing. Every available steamboat is being pressed into service to clear the booms at Stillwater before the lake freezes up. The third seems to be the most quiet congressional district in Min- nesota. Onr people know when they have a good thing, and propose to hold on to it. There will be plenty of excitement in several of the others later on. Gen. Pope appears to have saved his fireworks for the last quarter, retiring in a blaze of blue lights and smoke. The probable result is a number of cases to be polled by his successor in the public examiner's office. The election law should be amend- ed so that a candidate for an unsal- aried office could have his name placed upon the ticket without being required to pay $5 for the privilege of serving his town for nothing. .The office of state auditor is such a peculiar one that no man,- -regard- less of quo. tieations, should ever bold it more than two terms. Eight years of wear and tear ought to sat- isfy the average conscience. The liabilities of the St. Paul & Kansas City Grain Company are given out at $844,699,33, and assets at $807,509.47. It operated a line of elevators along the Milwaukee and Great Western roads. A flock of quails was roaming around the vacant lots in St. Paul on Tuesday, evidently looking for the residence of Sam Fullerton in order to pay their respects to the chief game warden. Alvah Eastman, of The St. Cloud Journal -Press, has been appointed as manager of the normal schools to succeed W. B. Mitchell, resigned. Another victory for the board of control. The Torrens system of transferring titles to real estate is to be put in operation in Ramsey County at once, under the law of last winter. The result will be of interest to the entire state. Under the primary election law there will be nothing more heard of the office seeking the man. The candidate will do the chasing act in double doses. Sheriff Megarden, of Hennepin County, has been indicted for the alleged overcharges recently refund- ed by him. The case will be fought to a finish. The Kansas City Talking Machine Co., of Kansas City, Mo., have pub- lished a new march, American Honor, bye B. L. James. Price fifty cents. Ex -Gov. John Lind did not attend the Towne banquet in Duluth, their personal relations not being so pleas- ant since Charles A. struck oil. The Right Rev. S. C. Edsall has decided to live in Minneapolis, where a suitable house will be bought and furnished for his occupancy. The state treasurer has issued a call for all funds in banks outside of the twin cities, to meet current demands. A Minneapolis firm has submitted a bid to the department for carrying the mails in that city by automobiles. A professor of foot ball might be added to the faculty of .the state university with great propriety. Easy to Cheat Creditors. The report of Michael Doran, jr., referee in bankruptcy for the juris- diction which comprises the counties of Ramsey, Washington, Dakota, Goodhue, Chicago, and Rice, in his report to the attorney general for the six months ending Oct. lst, points out what he considers flaws in the federal bankruptcy law. The law, he says, is invoked by debtors seeking to avoid just debts. He calls attention in four cases in which the amount of assets exempt under the statutes exceeded the liabi- lities and the creditors were the losers. The majority- of applicants are salaried men. When the petition in bankruptcy is filed all proceedings in garnishment are stopped and thus the salaries which accrue during the proceedings are exempt. The greater portion of the applications are from salaried people that have run up accounts with small dealers who sell on credit. "The law works admirably," says the report. "in adjusting cases where there are actual assets, as the process is simple and inexpensive, but con- gress should remedy its features which operate rather as an erasure of obligations than as an assistance to the burdened and unfortunate debtor. The process is so inexpensive under the present law that it affords an easy method of evading honest debts." - ,St. Paul Pioneer -Press. Senator R. E. Thompson, of Preston, who is at the Windsor to -day, said: If these normal school people know what is good for them they will gait hanging back, and comply with the state board of control law in every respect. That law was passed especial- ly for the benefit of the normal schools and such institutions, and it is backed by the public sentiment of the whole state. The fact is that the normal schools are by no means as necessary to the educational welfare of the state as their officers seem to think. The high schools of the state are turning out more teachers and better ones than the normal schools, and they are not making nearly so many demands upon the state. The normal schools have carried things with a high hand in the past, and it was to prevent this in the future that the board of con- trol law was passed. -St. Paul Dis- patch, 16th. The high school foot ball team will go to Hastings Saturday to play the high school of that place. This will probably be the only trip the boys will take this year, and they are pre- paring for a good time. A party of high school students and teachers, to the number of fifty, will accompany the team. A large number of mega- phones. have been ordered, and the rooters will make things lively in Hastings when they arrive there. The team will leave Stillwater at 11:50 in the morning, and arrive home some time in the evening. - Stillwater Gazette. The local normal school board members seem to think the schools belong to the towns where located, rather than all the people. The schools have been used as local schools and for the benefit of the place where located. That is why the people think the state board should control 'the finances and expenditures of the schools. - Waseca Radical. Langdon Items, There is another new operat the depot. W. H.

The following confession of a novel- ist as to the method in which he wrote one of his books Ps not without inter- est. He had had the story outfitted 7n his notebook for a long time and ought to have been able to write it, but did not feel able. Then one day he hap- pened to think of it again and saw, al- most as If it had been a stage scene, the little tableau with which the book was to close -one of those ends which are also a beginning. So he began to work and in a short time had complet- ed the first three chapters. Then, for no reason that he can give, there was a jump, and he wrote the chapters which are now numbered XXI and XXII, the last in the book. Then he went back and wrote straight on from IV to XVII. The story had been with him so long that it was the easiest thing in the world to write it, and so he got through this part of the work with remarkable celerity. In the eighteenth chapter nothing happens. Every day for a fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried to write that chapter; every night he tore up a big pile of manuscript which he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then he got desperate. The chapter should be written and should stand, whether good or bad. He wrote it and left the house because it was bad and he had resolved not to tear it up. Next day he wrote chapter XIX, and on the mor- row he rewrote chapter XVIII and somehow or other contrived to get into it all that he had failed to get before. Then he wrote chapter XX, and the book was completed. -London Post. Pretty Fair Shots. In an English paper there appeared recently the veracious story of two brothers who lived in the Rocky moun- tains. They had two rifles, one bullet and a keg of powder. With this outfit they managed to kill on an average twenty-seven head of buffalo a day. The way they managed was this: Broth- er No. 1 would stand on one side of a buffalo and shoot through it, the bullet going into the barrel of the rifle of Brother No. 2, who stood on the other side. Then Brother No. 2 would fire through the next buffalo into the rifle of Brother No. 1, and so on until the day's sport was over. Some one who saw this story has written to say that he is acquainted with a man, a cousin, he thinks, of the two mentioned, who also lived in the Rocky mountains at one time. He had one rifle, one bullet and a keg of pow- der, yet he managed to kill thirty head of buffalo a day -buffaloes were plenty then -and the way he did it was this: He was not only a champion shot, but a champion runner, and when he fired through a buffalo he would run around and catch the bullet again to reload with, and so on until he exhausted his powder. How to Catch the Polar Hear. I listened attentively the other night to a gentleman who gave me a great deal of valuable information concern- ing these interesting regions. He knew I was a tenderfoot and a newspaper reporter and felt at liberty, therefore, to talk freely, so I got a lot of yarns about polar bears and walruses and other creatures, large and small, which are not related in natural histories. I be- lieve it was one of the advisers of "Alice In Wonderland" who suggested that the best way to catch a rabbit is to get behind a stump and make a noise like a carrot, and I learned with great satisfaction that the easiest way to catch a polar bear is to hide behind an iceberg and make a noise like the aurora borealis. Polar bears are very tame and, like newspaper reporters and some other people, are gifted with in- quiring minds. When a•stranger comes out on the ice, they greet him cordially and show a justifiable curiosity as to his business and intentions, which causes them to fall an easy prey to the parlor rug trust. -Norway Letter in Chicago Herald. Noisy Sunbeams. Fill a glass vessel with lampblack, colored silk or worsted. Focus the rays of the sun in a lens -that is, hold a magnifying glass so that the rays pass through it before they fall on the glass vessel. Then revolve in the light, be- tween the lens and the vessel, a disk with an opening or slit in it so that the light is alternately falling on -the ves- sel and being shut out. Now listen, and you will hear a noise when the light passes through the slit, but there will be silence when it is shut out. You must place your ear close to the glass holding the silk or other substance. Another experiment is to use a prism instead of an.ordinary;lens. This makes a rainbow, and as the rays pass through the slit it is possible to tell that some parts of the,solar spectrum - as it is called -produce a sound as they fall on the glass vessel, while other parts have ne effect. ' Keeping. Vegetables. Vegetables should never be put into the cellar, as many of them contain acids which will absorb the poison of the ground air, and if eaten will prove very unhealthy, and if allowed to re- main will rapidly decompose and fill the air which arises to the upper rooms with a poison that will undoubtedly cause much mischief. Potatoes should not be exposed to the ,sun, but 'kept in some dry place where the light{and air can always strike them. Parasites of the Tiger. ! In speaking of the minute parasites Which are found in the hairy part of a tiger's foot a scientist says: "They con- stitute one of the most wonderful cu- riosities I know of; in the animal world.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu. tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in. flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

He sang a song of a mariner bold And his sweetheart so true, the sea. Sing ho, yo bo, sing hey! O'er crested billows, through dashing spray, With saila a -bulging, she scud6 away— Away, away, o'er the waters gray— Away through the.dying dayl Sing ho, Bing hey! Oh, the mariner bold his ain love pressed To his heart and her sweet lips kis: Sweet lips that swore they world e'er Le true When he sailed away i' the mist. Sing hey, oh, hey, ye ho! Through the singint tops the wild winds blow. Into the dank mists the ship doth go, . And the mariner sings as he rolls below, "•yfy love will be true, I trow!" Sing hey, yo ho! Oh, the lassie ashore forgot her man, But his sweetheart, the sea, proved true) She lulled him -to rest on her heaving breast, And her while arms about him threw. Sing ho, ye ho, sing hey! _ Ile went to his one true love that day At peace in her arms fore'er and aye— Less lasting the lassie's peace, they say— She wed with a lump o' clay! Sing ho, sing hey! —St. Paul Dispatch. � RBIPN NOIMES' By Charles B. Younger. tt Ralph Holmes, express -messenger on a fast night train running from Chica- go to Peoria, had discharged his duties in the methodical way that comes with experience and familiarity with one's daily routine of work and sank into an easy chair with a ride of fifty miles yet before him and nothi111g to occupy his attention but his own thoughts, the rumbling of the wheels and an occa- sional note of warning from the en- gine. Thous come quick and fast at such times, and so it was with Ralpih Holmes. The events of the four years since he was thrown upon his own re- sources passed him in review as a pan- orama. On the long, tedious "runs" he ha often been absorbed in a reverie of thi sort, but in this instance there we new and perplexing problems confron sing him. He had always found mut that was gratifying in one of thes quiet invoice! of his few successes 1 life, and, while he felt none the les pleasure on others, he found little 1 reminiscence to encourage him in cer tain of his desires. In all of these communions with his own thoughts there was one central figure, and that a dear, little wi5man, patient and loving, her Bair made sil- very and her form bent by the seventy years of worldly struggle. It was Ralph Holmes' mother, and well he re- membered the night of his graduation from high school when she came tot- tering to the stage when the exercises were over, threw her arms about his neck and wept tears of joy. It was a glad event for Ralph, for he had closed his school career with honors, but it.w -.was of vastly more moment to the little old woman who proudly embraced him, for the joy which the diploma brought both of them represented years of toil and sacrifice on her part. Ralph was a sensible youth and not unmindful of the aid his mother had given him, often at the expense of her own health and comfort. He, too, recalled on this night, as often before, the assuring words he gave his mother before leav- ing home some months after his gradu- ation. "You have given me a start, mom - mer," he had said, "that many a boy in better circumstances might be glad to have, and I hope you'll live to see me prove that I deserved a fair start." Then, as the train sped on, Ralph re- called his entrance to one of the great medical schools of the city and the difficulties he encountered during the first year because of his limited means. Though he had been forced to study from the books of classmates and wait on the table at a restaurant for his own board, his letters to the little mother at home were always cheerful and full of hope, containing as little as possible of the darker side of his college life. Then, during the summer vacation, he had by a rare stroke of .good fortune secured the position of express mes- senger.. Ralph confidently expected never to experience a happier day than when he made his first "run," for if he could but hold the place it would re- lieve him of the anxiety that the ex- pense of his medical education caused him. To be sure, he had held the position and it had more than paid his own ex- pense. It pleased him to note in addi- tion that he had been able to send a Little money home to his mother. The two trips a week the year round had interfered to no small extent with his attendance at school, but he had been as faithful as his circumstances would permit, and it seemed to Ralph, as he sat there musing, that the faculty must have known something of his struggle and helped him along. Then, too, he had been deprived of the regular hours for study which the other students had, but he had improved all his spare time. Night after night he had sat in that same old chair in the express car when his work was over and "cram- med" until the whistle blew for Peo- ria. More than this, his dingy room in the Railroad hotel there had been a favorite place for study when he turn- ed in after the long "run" for a few hours' sleep. The precious sleep had oftentimes been sacrificed that he might make good recitations at college the following -day. But all this was in the rat.. ThA particular night found hfa senior and within a few weets of his gradu- ation—the culmination of his own great effort. In these closing days of bis col- lege career, however, a new desire had token possession of him. He had felt it call to aryls in the fierce warfare which involves all the medical schools at the close of the year—the relentless, uncompromising struggle for hospital interneships. - True, he was not counted among the seniors of his own school as a candi- date for hospital honors. This, he knew, was not because of a poor class record, for in this respect he stood well in the front ranks, but his duties out - d s re t - h e n s n side of school had made it impossible for Um to take the "quiz class"—the review of the work of the whole school course, which occupies during the last year the malor portion of the attention of those who expect to take the com- petitive examinations for the interne - ships. This formality, Ralph argued with himself, need not prevent him from entering the competition when the time came. He, too, had done a great deal of reviewing in a quiet way and felt fairly well prepared for any ordinaryquestions 1 2es ton s w bleb arise might a r se it the course of the examinations. But of "catch" questions he stood in awe. But who could tell? Some would g the places and others would fail. H had made all the preparation possible, I LATEST BED LINEN. I FUN ON HALLOWEEN. EVERYTHING 15 READY MADE AND VERY ELABORATE. The New Sheets Are Things of Won. der to Old Fashioned Housekeep- ers—Lace Trimmed Pillowcases. Charming Satin Finish Spread.. Plain and durable was the bed linen In the days when our sweet grand- mothers were girls. The snowy piles of linen which stocked the linen closet et In those days were handmade from the e beginning to the end. Today all this is considering his condition, and why not take chances with the rest? It might happen that he would be among the lucky ones. So, when Ralph Iiolmes locked the express car door early the next morn- ing and went to his gloomy quarters in the Railroad hotel, it was with the determination to take the first hos- pital examination that came along, which would be on the following Sat- urday, gad one of the days that he would be in the city. Tired though he was, Ralph did not go to bed at once. The new excite- ment kept him awake. Sitting down at the table he picked up the first book that met his gaze. Why he did it he did not know, but in doing so he fol- lowed a definite itnpulse—a "hunch," as he was accustomed fo say. Run- ning over its pages in an aimless sort j of way and having no thought of studying any particular subject he stumbled, as it were, upon a chapter hitherto unknown to him. "Tumors of the Adrenal Capsule," it read. "Well, that's a new one on tae," h,, murmured as he glanced casually over the pages. Inasmuch as the subject had never been assigned for study, nor, to his knowledge, had any reference been made to it in class, he thought it might prove interesting reading. "It must be a useless lot of stuff," he murmured ftgain as he started to read, "or we would have heard some- thing about it. Nothing else in par- ticular to do, though, so guess I'll just glauce over it. Might come handy some time." An hour later Ralph laid the book aside and went to bed. When Saturday came and students from various schools gathered for the hospital examination, Ralph Holmes was among the number. He dropped into one of the rear seats in a careless sort of way, but his presence caused no little comment among the members of his own class, who expected to see him itt the competition least of all oth- ers. "What are you doing here?" inquired cue. "Oh, just happened in to see what's going on," was Ralph's indifferent re- ply. But when he provided himself with paper and made ready to write the others were convinced that he was more than a mere looker on. Then came a breathless silence as the questions were being written upon the board. There was one on anatomy, then a query on chemistry, another on physiology, then histology, materia metlica and half a dozen other branch- • es of medical science. Fourteen ques- tions had been given and had been met with suppressed groans, smiles or whispers of "Easy!" or "Puddin'!" as they found the various contestants pre- pared or wanting in knowledge. Through it all Ralph bad maintained a countenance as cold and expressionless - as steel. He felt satisfied that so far he was equal to the test, but resolved not to betray his feelings to the others around hint. It was the fifteenth and last question that he wanted to see, and his impatience got the better of , him. He felt something tugging. A peculiar, unexplainable something took possession of him, and as the profess- or's hand was raised to write the ques- tion he followed it not alone with his eyes, but with his body, He stood up, but when he resumed his seat it was with a sigh of relief that was heard distinctly in every part of the crowded room. The professor had written: 15. Etiology, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the adrenal capsule. The explosion of a bombshell would not have caused more consternation - among the students than did that one question, for in none of the schools had the subject been introduced, and it had been utterly ignored in the "quiz class" work.

Pound In a Bible. The following story is being told in Hamburg about a most welcome find of money in a Bible, writes a Berlin correspondent: A business man with a large and growing family began to find himself in serious monetary troubles. His wife tell ill, and the doctor sent in a very long bill, which he was unable to pay. The debtor in his distress made up his mind to sell the family Bible. On turn- ing over the leaves before taking it out of the house he found a sealed letter inscribed with the words, "To the find- er." He opened it and found the fol- lowing letter inside: In the sure knowledge that -man does not turn to his Bible to read the word of God until he is in the greatest distress I have placed £100 in etcs between pages 141 and 142.

Bed linen is elaborate and correspondingly expensive. Spreads are works of art, and the new sheets, with their exquisitely embroidered de- signs, are things of wonder to the old fashioned housekeeper. Bed linen is now bought ready made a!most exclu- I aively. Little sheeting, whether cotton or linen, is sold by the yard. 1 So says a writer in The household who describes and illustrates some pleasing fancies in this line. Linen sheets now come as high as $30 for a single sheet. A sheet of this sort is not only elaborately hand embroider- ed, but shows an intricate drawnwork design. Much less expensive linen sheets are also hand embroidered and lace trimmed. Sheets with the lace in- troduced as a band of insertion just above the hemstitched border are much used for the top sheet. The lower sheet is always of plain linen. Many of the new sheets have hand embroid- ered, scalloped borders, and fancy hem- stitching is in fashion. The correct hem for a straight border is two and a half inches deep. If the hem is finished with a. scalloped edge, it is a trifle narrower, measuring two inches. Even the inexpensive ready made cotton sheets have just above the hemstitching a narrow insertion of embroidery, which gives a pretty fin- ish. The finer sheets of linen have an em- broidered tnonog:-ain worked on the sheet in the center just below the hem. The monogram varies in size and de- sign according to the individual taste of the purchaser. For a monogram let- ters 2 to 21i inches high are good style, while if a single letter is used it is much larger. A single block letter from 3t,. to 4 inches looks well on a sheet. All the finer sheets nowadays are sold with ;,illoweases to thatch. It is really only at night that the perfectly plain pillowcase puts in an appearance. When the pillow is to be used, then the plain pillowcase is slipped over it During the daytime on the correctly dressed bed the pillowcases should show the same embroidered design, drawnwork or lace trimming, as the top sheet. Both the square and oblong pillow- cases are used. Frequently the square lace trimmed pillowcase which opens at the back will have a monogram em- broidered on the center. Bedspreads were never more lovely than note. The white linen spreads heavily embroidered in white, with in- sertions of drawnwork and a hand em- , hroidered, scalloped border, are in ex- quisite taste. They have a four inch hem. Other beautiful all white spreads show an applique of lace with the i spread cut away beneath the lace de- sign. Among the novelty spreads just now in vogue are those of satin finish mar- tlettatIM A'yyx4 eRn a-tt rese.e.rtdelentszterstmsteetteneeg 4/' SQUARE PILLOWCASE seilles, with a printed floral design In colors.

Broiled meats should be served as .coon as cooked. Grapefruit as a substitute for punch between two meat courses at dinner will prove a satisfaction as well as a surprise. An excellent way of mending broken handled knives is to 1111 the old socket with rosin powder and, having heated the steel end of the blade, to force it into the rosin and hold it there until cool, when It will be found firmly to adhere to its proper position.

Informal invitations may be sent to a dozen friends, the note having in one corner a pen and ink sketch of a witch riding on a broomstick- Cornstalks and yellow ears of corn, with the husks turned back, should furnish the ,deco- rations of stairway, doorways and win down. The only light used must be that which comes from the grinning faces of a dozen jack-o'-lanterns, some placed on the chandeliers over the gas, oth- ers on mantels and tables. In the hall should stand a tub of water in Which float rosy apples temptingly inviting the guests to "bob" for them, other applesbeing placed on tables with fruit knives conveniently near that one may take off a long peeling, swing it three times around the head, then throw it to see whose initial it will form.

In the dining room the same decora- tions as those of the hall and parlor should prevail, while a huge jack-o'- lantern stands in the center of the table, with a beaming face turned to- ward each end of the table. On the table, radiating from the pumpkin, should be ears of corn, and between the corn, apples, oranges and nuts. The favors are jack-o'-lanterns paint- ed on water color paper and then cut out. A different expression is given to each face and the names are written , across the bottom. At each plate is a bright red apple, in which stands a small lighted candle held in place by the tiny fastenings used when placing candles on a cake. After other good things on the menu cones the luck cake, a large iced pound cake, having a row of gilded wish- bones, one for each guest, standing around the edge. In the cake have been placed before baking a ring, a thimble and a piece of silver, signify- ing to lucky finders of each a wedding• a single life or great riches. When the plates have been removed, nuts, raisins and motto papers are pass- ed, and the guests sit telling stories and breaking wishbones until the candles are well burned down and it is time to make the last wish, when, holding the tiny flame at arm's length, each one tries to extinguish his or hers with one blow, that the dream may become the reality. A KITCHEN CONVENIENCE. A Supplementary Pantry — Econom- ical and Useful the Year Round. A window safe or supplementary pantry for the comfort of economical housewives is illustrated and described by The Designer. It is made of smooth- ly planed pine boards, which might WINDOW SAFE, REAR AND FRONT VIEWS. easily enough be cut and joined by an amateur carpenter, and is fitted with several shelves intended for the recep- tion of such edibles as cannot well be placed in the icebox. The safe has three sides, a floor and a sloping roof and is fitted closely to the window in order that the lower sash of the latter may serve as a door, inclo+ling its fourth side. For purposes of ventilation sev- eral holes are cut in the sides of the safe, though it Is advisable to cover these ou the inner side with fine net- ting or dirt and dust from the outside may be blown upon uncovered food. The safe must be securely fastened upon the wall or to the window sill by means of projecting iron brackets and should properly be placed at a north window, so as to get as little sunshine as possible. In summer this window safe will be found invaluable as an auxiliary to the icebox, while in winter it may be made to fill the place of the latter entirely. Of course it will shut out some of the light and air; but, on the principle that there is no good with- out some accompanying evil, this slight disadvantage must be borne with as patiently as possible. The Useful Lemon. The chapping of the hands by ex- posure to heat or from hot soapsuds may be prevented by rubbing with lemon juice, and using salt lemon juice will remove iron rust and nearly all vegetable stains. When you make a hot lemonade for a cold, remember that glycerin, instead of sugar, will make the remedy more valuable. Fashion's Echoes. Velvet flowers, such as anemones, roses, poppies, iris and pomegranate, are being used for millinery. Though it changes its trimmings somewhat, the bolero lives on and Is likely to have a long reign. The downward droop of some of the sleeves looks as if we were to indulge in the Victorian sleeve once more. Velvet flounces will be used on ctotb costumes. Hand painted velvet buttons are an exquisite conceit. The long coats so useful for late autumn are in the ulster shape or in the directoire and empire styles.

With this style of headdress the hair is loosely combed over a pompadour in front and arranged in a figure eight coil web on the crown of the head, keeping as much as possible the natural shape of the bead. The tulle bow is then pin- ned directly underneath the coil and fastened at each side with small jew- eled stickpins here and there. The ef- fect is very graceful, and with evening dresses, particularly when the tulle bows are made of the colors of the dress, the effect is very striking.—New Idea Woman's Magazine. AUTUMN PRESERVES. Quince and Sweet Apple—Gingered Pears. Quince and Sweet Apple Preserves.— Pare, core, quarter and slice three quarts of quinces and sweet anal using two-thirds quinces to one-third apples. Weigh and to every pound of fruit use three-quarters of a pound of sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Steam the quinces and apples until they can be easily pierced with a broom splint or straw. Make a thick sirup of the sugar, drop the fruit in and cook until the fruit looks clear. If at that time there seems to be too much sirup, skim out the fruit and boil down the sirup. The sirup when cold should be a thin jelly. If properly prepared, these are delicious, especially if served with whipped cream. Gingered Pears.—This Is a most de- licious sweetmeat, especially to serve with blancmange or custards for des- sert. Hard and not too ripe fruit is best. Peel and core and cut in very thin slices. For eight pounds of sliced fruit put into a kettle the juice from Ave lemons, one cupful of water, seven pounds of sugar and half a pound of ginger root scraped and cut into thin slices. Let the sugar dissolve before adding the fruit. Cut the lemon in long, thin strips and add to the fruit. Let all cook slowly for an hour uncov- ered and bottle while hot. Fall Wedding Decorations. In decorating a house for a wedding Good Housekeeping advises a lavish use of greenery, the delicate smilax and asparagus vine, the splendid foli- age of tall palms and the graceful droop of ferns. In the room where the wedding ceremony takes place use only white and green. Keep the scheme of white and green also for the dining room, where the bride's table is made the most attrac- tive spot. For its decoration use flow- ers which are fragrant and delicate. Do not load it with glass and silver, as on a stately dinner occasion. Let it be simple, white as the bride's gown and beautiful. The Light and Wholesome Popover. A very delightful little roll for those who do not like sweet cakes is the pop- over, and if made exactly as described failure is impossible. Put Into a basin a cupful of flour, a cupful of milk, an egg and a saltspoonful of salt. Beat all together for fifteen minutes, then put the mixture into little bun tins and bake in a moderate oven for three-quar- ters of an hour. The oven door must not be opened for thirty minutes after the cakes are put in. These cakes, which must be eaten hot, are often rec- ommended by doctors, as they are con- sidered to be lighter than bread. An Attractive Corner Arrangement. The corner of a room is likely to be either a bare, uninviting place or one that taxes the ingenuity of the furnish- er 1f an attempt is made to make it otherwise.

A ravine in the northeast corner of k Yellowstone National park, in Wyo- ming, is known by those living near by as Death gulch. Grewsome as is the name, it is exceedingly appropriate. It is a V shaped trench cut in the moun- tainside and begins about 250 feet above Cache creek. Apparently it forms a natural shelter for the beasts of the forest, as food, water and shelter are there, but entrance to the gulch means death to any animal, for the poisonous vapors that rise out of the ravine are more deadly than the bullets of the huntsmen. For ages this death trap in the Rocky mountains has probably been luring the inhabitants of the forest to their doom. With the rains of spring the bones of the dead of the preceding year are car- ried down to the creek and the gulch cleared for the death harvest of the summer and winter. The geologists say that the lavas which fill the ancient basin of the park at this place rest upon the flanks of mountains formed of fragmentary vol- ganic ejects. Gaseous emanations are iven out in great volume. '!'hese come, the scientists say, from deposits of al- tered and crystalline travertine mixed with pools in the creek. Above these deposits the creek cuts into a bank of sulphur. In the bottom of the gully is a small stream sour with sulpLaric acid. No wonder the poor animals seeking shelter in the gulch tweet death there. Is Life Worth Living?

A Curious Trap. A curious labyrinth in which ele- phants are captured alive is to be seen near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam. The labyrinth is formed o1' a double row of immense tree trunks set firmly in the ground, the space between thein gradually narrowing. Where it begins, at the edge of the forest, the opening of tib labyrinth is more than a mile wide, but as it ap- proaches Ayuthia it becomes so nar- row that the elephants cannot turn around. Suspecting no danger the wild ele- phant enters the broad opening at the forest end, lured on by a tame elephant. The gradual narrowing of the bound- aries is not observed until the ele- phant finds himself it, close quarters. Having reached the end of the laby- rinth, the tame elephant is allowed to pass through a gate, while men lying in wait slip shackles over the feet of the captives, . The sport is a dangerous one, for the enraged elephants some- times crush the hunters under their feet. Alphabetical Abuse. The prosecuting attorney in a law- suit had waxed especially indignant at the defendant, whom he characterized as an "abandoned, baneful, cynical, diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy, hateful, irresponsible, jaundiced, knav- ish, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outra- geous and profligate rowdy," "The learned counsel on the other side," said the attorney for the defend- ant when he rose to reply, "should have put his adjectives in a hat and shaken them up a little Before using.

Every Mark Has a Heraldic Signif- icance, Denotiui; •honors, Ancestry or. Condition—The A. '�, Meth- oda of Indian Artists. I eople in general have been content to look upon the Indian's adornment of his- head with eagle feathers and his face with paint as marks of personal deeoration inspired by vanity and a -savage taste, different only in degree from what is sometimes witnessed among _highly civilized people, says a writer' in the Washington Times. But the fact is that,. in preference to the latter custom. for instance. every paint mark on an Indian's face has a sort of heraldic meaning, implying not only the honors won by the brave -in person, but representing also the claims of his fancily and race to distinction. In other words,- what is shown among more cultured communities by coats of arms, orders, and decorations, is depicted by the Indian on his face ,by nieuns of pigments. Scientists are pow engaged, among other novel investigations concerning the North American Indian, in com- piling a record of the armorial, or, rather, facial, bearings of certain cele- bride() chiefs, and it is said to be fas- cinating work. One renowned war- rior. for instance, will have kis lip painted a copper .red. This is found .to indicate that his tribe was once in possession of huge mines of copper. Another individual Will have his fore- head adorned with a painting of a cer- taiu fish, thus implying that he or his people are renowned for prowess in catching fish. The same distinguished person sometimes wears a disk of pearl in addition to his. paint mask. 'This, by its shimmering radiance and its form, Implies- that be is descended from the moon, in the sense that 'the goddess of night is one of his ances- tors. The fact that the Indian has uo con- ception of perspective seriously handi- caps the success of his efforts at pic- torial art. ,Indeed, the Indian limner - merely aims to show the most eharac- terWic portion of the object he at- = ;teafpts to depict, unless he be a inan of great attainment, in which case he divides or dissects • the subject of his picture and represents the whole by its parts, the latter being arranged en- tirely irrespective of the natural -se- quence. - features of the Indian are some ttaw ineorpottitet into The "represen- Cation opt the animal which forms his heraldic bearing: Should the beaver, for example, be the object to be de- picted, it is not atteihpted. '?ut only its distinctive and typical parts, as, for in- stance, its peculiar tail, which is paint- ed in. crisscross lines extending from the chin to the nose, as though stand- ing upright. The chin itself does ser - lee as the beavers body. Elie arbitrary methods of the Indian artist render it difficult. if not impos- sible, . for any but an' expert to inter- pret the meaning of the pictorial rep- resentations. - Thus. an animal's ears are invariably depleted above the eyes on the human object, the ears of the beaver being just above the eyebrows. On the.cheeks are painted the paws in a position as though they were -raised to the mouth in the manner conven- tional in l:! !-an carvings. • The dogfish painted in red on the face deignnteii the members of an entire tribe, On the forehead of the members of this trifle is painted the long, thin snout, the gills are represented by two curved lines below `the eyes, while the tail is shown -as cut in two and hang- ing from. each nostril. Only one or two parts of an animal painted on an Indian's face indicates that he is of inferior position; the entire symbol, no - matter in what form presented, is sig- nificant of lofty station and high hon- ors. The facial heraldry of the Indian may be said to unique,, not alone in the method of representation employ- ed, but in the subject selected. The latter includes fish, flesh and fowl of all descriptions—dog salmon, devilfish, starfish, woodpeckers, ravens, eagles, bears, wolves, frogs, are comprised in the armorial gallery. Every object presented has its own particular significance, and one of •the most peculiar phases of face painting relates to the employment of forms other than animal—tools, 'implements of the chase or of war, denoting the occupation of the individual or his tribe. - Fame Abroad. It was one of the treasured honors of Bishop Whipple's long episcopate that be had preached the opening sermon in Westminster abbey at the pan -Angli- can council in 1883. He often referred to this, not in a vainglorious spirit,but rather as being surprised that he should have this honor wben there were so many abler men in the Episco- pal church. An incident which pleased him much, however, happened after he had preached at the English church in Rome. Standing near the chapel en- trance, he beard two ladies in conver- sation: "Who was the bishop who preached today?" asked one of the ladies. "Why, that was the bishop of Mimo- sa; he comes from South Africa, you know," was the unexpected answer.— Boston Transcript.

Some That Bring Great Wealth to Tlh'sir Fortunate Possessors. That silence is golden no one will deny, but they who will most ready ad- mit the truth of this maxim are the members of those- families whose silence, lasting in some cases for cen- turies, has brought them untold wealth. And the most curious part of it is that outsiders, try as they will, have been unable to discover the secrets these lucky families possess. Few people know where Bank of England note paper comes from, and fewer still bow it is made, because its manufacture is a family secret, and has been so for nearly two centuries. In 1717 a man named Portal discovered how to make this paper, and the gov- ernment thereupon contracted with him to supply all that was required for bank notes. The contract still holds good, and once a week a quantity is sent from Laverstoke, in Hampshire, where the family still exists, the paper being guarded by a number of detec- tives throughout the journey. No one has yet succeeded in discovering how the I'ortals make the paper, and prob- ably no one ever will. Minton ware is another family mo- nopoly, though unprotected by the patents act. In 1793 Thomas Minton, a Staffordshire potter, discovered how to make a peculiar china with a green glaze unlike any other in vogue. He kept his secret to himself, made the ware by stealth, and in due time ac- cumulated a fortune. Before he died he gave the secret to his eldest son, and it has been handed down from generation to generation to the present time. The - works are now situated at Stoke-on-Trent, and every year the Mintans turn nearly 100,000 tons of clay into the famous ware that bears their name. Sword forging is one of the most dif- ficult branches of the mechanic's art, and only one family, residing in Bir- mingham, knows how to do it to per- fection. There is a secret in sword forging which this familyalone has conquered, and it has been in its pos- session for upward of half a century and is still unknown to outsiders. A sword made by a workman belonging to this family is worth twice as much as one made by any other firm, and al- though enormous sunns have been of- fered for the secret from time to time every member remains true to his trust. One of the oldest family secrets is that connected with the manufacture of eau de cologne, for it has been own- ed by the Farinas since 1685. In that year an Italian, Giovanni Farina, in- vented the perfume, and only bis eldest son was admitted into the secret. At the present moment the Farinas have twenty-eight factories at Cologne. This silence on the part of the family through so many years has brought untold wealth, for nine out of every ten bottles of the perfume purchased all over the world is of Farina make. It seems hard to believe that we are to a great extent indebted to one fam- ily for our supremacy on the seas, but such is the case. All the iron used in the - navy is made by the family of Crawshay, the descendants of a York- shire farmer, who discovered a method of making the metal harder than any one else could do, and in consequence received a contract to supply the iron for the navy. The secret still remains with the family, and foreign mations have periodically offered inillions for its possession, but without success. In the wine trade there are endless secrets, some of them of great im- portance and owned by single families. Tokay, a rare and costly wine and the favorite drink of the emperor of Aus- tria, is made only by the Counts of Zemplen from a secret recipe, while the equally famous Lachrymte Christi cannot be procured except from the family of Adrienne, the owners of the vineyards on Vesuvius. Maraschino, too, is made in secret solely by a Dal- matian family called Nanis, who first discovered the recipe three centuries ago.—London Tit -Bits. Mean Advice. Old Gent—On the eve of your mar- riage let me give you a piece of advice. Remember when your wife's next birth- day comes and give her a handsome present. Young Man—Yes, of course. "Give her the best your pocket can buy every birthday, but at Christmas, New Year's and such times give her only inexpensive little tokens. Form that habit." "Yes, bui: why?" "It will pay." "I presume so." "Yes. In a few years you can begin to forget the birthdays, and she won't say a word."—New York Weekly. What Was In Sim. "Children," said the teacher while instructing the class in composition, "you should not attempt any flights of fancy, but simply be yourselves and write what Is in you. Do not imitate any other person's writings or draw in- spiration from outside sources."

In Yucatan, a land of many curiosi- ties, there is a living barometer in the form of a small spider, called "am" on account of the effect produced by its poison. As far as its own conduct goes, the insect is inoffensive and can be handled with impunity,n bod but if anybody y has the misfortune to get one mysteri- ously mixed with his food lie is certain to die after a few hours and meanwhile for some unexplained reason will fre- quently ejaculate "Am, am, am!" hence the name of the spider. Throughout the peninsula this is affirmed to be a fact, and if an am falls into fodder of horses or mules the animal that swal- I lows It surely dies. - I This spider is shaped like a erab, minus the claws, and is of a bright yel- -low color, with brown spots; the big- ! gest vault! be aecommodated upon a silver dime. Its favorite abode Is among the leaves of the banana shrub, commonly, but erroneously, called tree. There it spins with extreme rapidity, its web, which is prodigiously large, Ionsidering the size of its architect, i and' proceeds to devour the flies that • are unlucky, enough to get entangled in the meshes of this astonishing little glutton, that is not satisfied with less than a dozen a day—that is to say, it consumes a good deal more than. its own bulk. Its progeny is numerous and appears at first like more black specks, smaller than the smallest pin's head. The sky may be blue and cloudless when suddenly the am commences tak- ing in its sails, or, rather, gathering in its net, withneatness, and' dispatch, cramming the whole of the material into its diminutive body entirely out of sight. A few minutes completes the job, and the spider takes up its posi- tion on the under surface of one of the great leaves to be lulled by the gentle swaying and sheltered hale the storm rages. It Is for this that the am has prepared, and never is it mistaken. When the web is taken in, rain will. certainly fall within an hour. The moment the am is touched it feigns death and lets itself drop, show- ing no sign of life until again placed upon a leaf or on the ground. Many a one has lain in the palm of the writer's hand inert, all its legs drawn close to its body, while it was examined at leisure, even being picked up in the fingers without its manifesting any life. BEAUTY .SPOTS. Try lemon juice for whitening the npek. Apply it with a linen cloth. After the head has been shampooed, whenever possible, give the head a sun bade. A writer states that oily hands may be made comfortable and touchable by wetting them once or twice a day while clean with cologne, alcohol or toilet vinegar. A good circulation is essential to the growth of the hair as well as to its col- or and fineness. A frequent, vigorous brushing with a stiff brush is the best method of obtaining this. A writer upon 'the complexion says the best way to treat freckles, a sure cure in all but very obstinate cases, is to touch them night and morning with a camel's hair brush after dipping it in lemon juice. • For a greasy skin nothing is better than the combination of an ounce of dried rose leaves, half a pint of white wine vinegar and half a pint of rose- water. Let the vinegar stand on the rose leaves for a week, then add the rosewater: . Use a tablespoonful in a cup of distilled water. A (Geological Fallaey.

An old Yorkshire farmer was walk- ing out one day looking very glum and miserable. Iie was a typical York- shireman, and he dearly loved a joke. But jokes seemed a long way off just then, and the oid man was thinking deeply when he was accosted by a tramp, who made the raual request for a night's lodgings and something to eat, as he explained he bad had noth- ing for two whole days. The effect upon the farmer when he said this was magical. "Why, man," he said, "I've been look- ing for you all day." And then without more ado he knocked him down and walked on him from one end to the other. The tramp got up, looking very staggered, and asked him why he had done that. "Well," said he, "my doctor has or- dered me to walk on an empty stomach, and now that I have fulfilled his in- junction I can go and have a good feed, and you can come with me."—London Answers She Was Looking For a Jon. An Englishman who was staying for a short time at Nice decided one morn- ing to have a dip in the sea. On proceeding to the shore he began to look out for some secluded spot where he might undress. At last he got clear of every one except some old women who followed him everywhere and whom he could not manage to shake off. He walked and walked un- til at last there was only one left. Finding it impossible to shake. her off and through ignorance of the language being unable to ask her to -leave, he decided to begin undressing in the hopes that she would withdraw when she saw what he was about. As he removed his coat he was hor- rified to see her making a rush for him. He did not know what to do, when, to his relief, she rapidly undid a huge bundle she carried and began to erect a portable tent round him. Then he perceived it was for this the women had been following him all the time, Bathing In Salt Lake. "Salt lake is a remarkable sheet of water in many ways, and bathing in it possesses features which are unique," says a Utah man. "It is very invigor- ating and refreshing, to be sure, but it takes some time to become accustomed to the extraordinary buoyancy of the water. It is quite impossible to sink or to drown in the lake. hut uiany peo- ple have been killed by the water. When there is a breeze and spray is dashed upon bathers, the water is so densely impregnated with salt that the liquid portion evaporates very quickly and leaves a deposit cif salt on She skin. "On several occasions people have drifted out while bathing or been wrecked and thrown overboard and aft- erward found dead on top of the water, choked to death by the accumulation of salt in their mouths and nostrils."

Origin of Ice Cream Sofia. - According to a Wisconsin legend, ice cream soda had its origin in Milwau- kee, the town that made lager beer fa- mous. A confectioner whose trade was among the wealthy used to make a' good, rich soda water by adding to it, when drawn, pure cream. His trade rapidly increased, and one night when he had a crowd to serve he ran out of cream. In desperation he used a small quantity of ice cream to give the drink the proper rich consistency, and what resulted is history.—Beverages, An Example. "After all, it isn't the big troubles that bother a fellow so much; it's the little things that annoy us most." "That's right.

A barber had been giving the writer much information about the hair, and then remarked that not long since quite a young man had come into his shop who had lost all his hair. It had come off very suddenly and for no ap- parent reason. The barber said, "Yon have a cat?" "No," he replied. "We have not a cat in the' house." "Then you have a terrier that catches mice, and it comes in contact with your bead?" "Yes," said the man, "1 have, and its favorite seat is on the top of my armchair, close to my head. The old barber then explained that his sudden baldness was a disease be- longing to mice, that could be pased on to human beings by contact with an animal that touched them.

A very good cement for fastening knives or forks In silver handles, should they come out, is made by melting and thoroughly mixing in an earthenware vessel four parts resin, one part bees - Fax and one part plaster of paras. Aft- er beating slightly the shank of the knife or fork and filling the hole in the handle with the mixture push the shank in tight and allow it to cool. I have come to the conclusion that it is good to work hard. It makes one en- joy food and play and sleep so keenly. '--George. Du Maurier. The Mistake of the Polar Bear. Nordenskjold found that the white bears generally went through a long performance of stalking his sailors, clearly on the mistaken conclusion that they were seals. As the men were clothed partly in sealskin. it was a very natural mistake. But the Interest of the story lies in the generalization made by the bear. The bear said: "There are two or three seals, one standing up on its flippers in a very unusual way. I will therefore stalk them unseen as long as I can and when they see me pretend to be doing something else." So the men, with their guns and lances, who wanted to shoot the bear had the pleasure of seeing him careful- ly' crawling behind rocks and ice hum- mocks, making long detours this way and that and every now and then clambering up a rock and peeping cau- tiously over to see if the seals had gone. On the open snow the bear would saunter off in another direction and then, falling fiat, push himself along on his belly, with his great front paws covering his black muzzle, the only thing not matching the snow about him. Just as the bear thought he had got his "seal" the latter fired and shot him, a victim of false analogy. —Spectator. Norwegian Rotel Fire Escapes, Nor do Norwegian hotels themselves console you. Built of wood. their chief merit lies in the fire escape, which is to be found in the chief room upon every landing. At Visnes I spent a happy night imswering the questions of nerv- ous travelers who came from hour to hour to see if the fire escape in nay room was working properly.

"This -is a mistake, and it will surprise many to learn that the highest death rate is found among a class who breathe in the sweetest odors—florists. "The reason is a simple one. The flor- ist lives at once in the torrid and the frigid zone. From a greenhouse atmos- phere of nearly 100 degrees in the win- ter months he must step out into one that is nearly always below freezing point and often below zero. In sum- mer he has change to encounter, too, as in the spring and fall. By force of hab- it he grows careless and often works without his coat in the hot, artificial at- mosphere, and this increases the dan- gers to which be is exposed.

The Man to Whom It Was Presented Could Not Understand It. "Talking about bookkeeping, there used to be a man in Yankton whose system of bookkeeping accounts was wonderfully efficient. He kept a hotel, and he could neither read nor write. IIe did' not know bow to spell his own name, but he did a thriving business and collected every dollar of his ac- counts. Once, years ago, when I first came to this country, I went to his ho- tel and stopped there two weeks," writes Milt Brinben. "When I left, he presented me with a statement of what I owed him, and it was a curiosity. He -had copied it from his ledger. At the top of the sheet there was a rude picture of a soldier on the march and after it three straight marks. Then there was a scene show- ing a scan at table eating. Then ap- peared a bed with a man in it. In the amount column there was a picture of a doll and after it the two letters "RS.'" After the picture of a man eating there were forty-two marks; after the view of the man in the bed, fourteen marks. I looked at the account, then at the proprietor, and told him it would take me a week to answer that conundrum. "I was completely stumped, and when that hotel man deciphered the amount for me it was this: The picture of the soldier walking meant march, and the three marks supplied the date, March 3, when I began boarding. The man at the tableseth forty-two marks after it indicated that I had eaten forty-two meals. The man in bed with fourteen marks showed that I had slept in the house fourteen nights. The doll with the `RS' after it meant 'dollars,' and in the figure columns appeared the fig- ures 14, which was the amount I owed him. And it was a true bill."—Yank- ton Press. A Persian Barber. 4 Persian barber works in a style very different from that in vogue in this country. A typical shop is a square room, with one side open to the street. In the center is a tiny bed of flowers sunk in the floor, from the middle of which rises an octagonal stone column about three feet high. The capital of the column forms a receptacle for the water in which the barber dips his hand a he shaves his customer's scalp. In Persia they do not lather. The shop is very clean. In two recesses stand four vases filled with,flowers and the implements of the barber's art—scissors, razors, lancets, hand mirrors, large pinchers to extract teeth, branding irons to cauterize the arteries in amputating limbs, strong combs, but not a hairbrush, for that implement is never used by Persians. From the barber's girdle bang a round copper water bottle, his strop, and a pouch to hold his instruments. In his bosom is a small mirror, the presentation of which to his customers is a sign that the job is finished and that the barber waits for his pay. The barber shaves the heads of his custom- ers, dyes their beards, pulls their teeth, blisters and bleeds them when ailing, sets their broken bones and shampoos their bodies.—Exchange. Strange Lapse of Memory. Cases of forgetfulness on matters of interest are on record. While Dr. Priestley was preparing his work en- titled "Harmony of the Gospels" he had taken great pains to inform him- self on a subject which had been under discussion relative to the Jewish Pass- over. He wrote out the result of his researches acid laid the paper away. His attention and time being taken with something else, some little time elapsed before e the subject occurred to his mind again. Then tile same time and pains were given to the subject that had been given to it before, and the results were again put on paper and laid aside. So completely had he forgotten that he had copied the same - paragraphs and reflections before that it was only when he had found the papers on which he had transcribed them that it was recalled to his recol- lection. This same author had fre- quently read his own published writ- ings and did not recognize them. An Expert.

The supreme court of the United States holds that no tax can be levied on articles or goods for export. The case originated in Minfleapolis, an agent of the Northern Pacific Road having issued a bill of lading for the export of wheat to Liverpool with- out affixing a ten cent stamp as re- quired by the war revenue law. No large amount of money was involved, only a question of constitutionality. The state lands sold last week brought about $10 per acre, the highest price on record, it being fifty per cent more than the average for thirty-nine years, and twenty-five per cent more than last year. The sale in two counties had to be post- poned and in two others curtailed, the limit in one year having been reached. •The next cannot be held until after July 31st, 1902. L. A. Rosing, chairman of the democratic state central committee, is said to have complacently remarked at the Towne banquet in Duluth, "we still have John Lind." Yes, and that is about all. Like the boy who .went fishing, when asked what 'he got, replied, "I got back." It' is estimated by railroad men that fully six hundred cars of pota- toes passed through the twin cities in September, and that the number this . month will aggregate fifteen hundred. The bulk of them were consigned to Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Representatives of the Vanderbilt interests are inspecting the Great Western Road, and rumors of a prospective sale are revived. It is generally understood that the road can be bought at what Mr. Stickney considers a fair valuation. The St. Paul Pioneer Press claims that the late J. S. Pillsbury was the wealthiest man in Minneapolis, his estate being variously estimated at from five to ten millions of dollars. The. heirs are his widow, son, and (laughter. He left no will. The federation of women's clubs at Owatonna last week evaded the color question by referring the mat- • ter to the national federation, Sev- eral delegates from colored clubs were present and turned down by the - committee on credentials_- - The movement of triiroefin in the northwest is lighter than any previous October for many years, owing to wet weather and the disposition of farmers to hold for better prices. Flour shipments, however, are largely on the increase. J. C. Seeley, a prominent real estate man of Minneapolis, fell dead while speaking at a banquet in St. Paul last Friday evening. The cause was apoplexy. He was aged fifty-eight years, and leaves a wife and (laughter. Patrick McAlpin, of Stillwater, sawed two cords of oak wood on Monday, from six a. m. to noon, up- on a wager of $100. The time of the first cord was a little Oyer two hours. The limit was eleven hours in all. The case of S. B. Foot vs. the Red Wing, Duluth, & Sioux City Con- struction Company, tried by Judge 1. M. 1Qrosby this week, resulted in a verdict ,of $100 for the plaintiff. The amount claimed was $40,844.50. Two Minneapolis butchers have been convicted of using borax and sulphurous acid to preserve tainted meat, and will appeal to the supreme court.. Their claim is that the state dairy and food law,is unconstitutional. Gov. Van Sant has not decided whether to call a special session of the legislature next winter or not. He will be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, and there you have the situation in a nutshell. The opinion of C. A. Towne, that it was a crime for men to enrich themselves from the treasures of the earth, has been greatly modified since he was let in on the ground floor of the Texas oil wells. The public examiner has ordered the cancellation of $18,0.00 insurance on the courthouse at Winona, for the reason that it was wyttten by 'a firm of which one of the county commis- sioners is a member. The water power at Little Falls bas passed into the bands of the Westing- house Electric Company, which pro- poses to hereafter manufacture all of the machinery used in its western trade at that point. There is a great shortage of cars on nearly every railroad, owing to the volume of freight being offered for shipment. The Right Rev. S. C. Edsall, bishop of Minnesota, will be inducted into office at Christ Church, St. Paul, on Tuesday, Nov. 5th. A number of bishops from other states will take part in the services. The board of control is sending out its schedule of supplies for the vari- ous state institutions during the com- ing quarter. Lists will be mailed to firms desiring thein, and the bids opened Nov. 1st. A policy of $20,000,000, recently written in Duluth for the NortbernPa- cific Road, is claimed to be the largest ever issued in the northwest. Its in- surance heretofore has been obtained in New York. The United States fish commission has decided to stock Lake Superior with herring from Lake Erie. The latter are larger than the variety now in those waters, and a very desirable fish food. R. C. Dunn says that he is not a candidate for governor, but is in favor of the re -nomination of Gov. Van Sant. The state auditor evidently prefers a third term iu his present position. The state board of health reports one hundred and thirty-five new cases of small pox in the past two weeks, divided among twenty-six counties. There is none nearer us than Min- neapolis. Col. S. E. Adams, of Minneapolis, was elected lieutenant commander of the supreme council, southern juris- diction, on Tuesday, a well deserved compliment to a worthy man and mason. The big dam at Redwood Falls is nearly completed, which will give them an artificial lake three miles long and half a mile wide, a splendid public improvement. Col. Samuel Lowenstein, a well known St. Paul politician, has re- moved to Philadelphia, and the lob- bies of the state capitol will know him no more forever. A small boy in St. Paul called out the fire department Monday night by poking his finger in an alarm box He is evidently destined to make a noise in the world. The Great Northern Road reports a falling off of about $1,500,000 in its gross receipts during the past Fear, owing to a shortage in the wheat crop. Carver County hasobtained a judgment of $7,395.20 and costs against the nineteen bondsmen 'of Gerhard Bongard, its last defaulting treasurer. Minnesota ties New York for first place in the butter scores of October at the Buffalo exposition, the average of each being ninety-five and three- quarters. A drunk in the Mockup at Prescott set the building on fire Wednesday, about ten p. m. but it was extinguish- ed with little damage. The remaining half of real estate taxes must be paid on or before next Thursday to avoid the ten per cent penalty. The normal schools have all filed their September pay rolls with the board of control and received their money. St. Cloud was the last to come in. Cyrus Northrup, president of the state university, was in attendance at the bicentennial celebration of Yale College, delivering an able address on Tuesday. W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, was elected president of the Uni- versalist convention at Buffalo for the ensuing two years. Andrew Tapper, of Carver, was found guilty of the murder of Miss Rosa Mixa on Wednesday, and sen - tented to be hung. A. B. Stickney, president of the Great Western Road, has rented a house in New York, and will speed the winter there. The remains of Senator C. K. Davis have been removed to Washington and buried in the national cemetery at Arlington. A continuance of this lovely fall weather is predicted by the weather bureau, to which no objectiou will be interposed. J. P. Heatwole, our member of congress, announces himself in favor of taking the tariff off' all trust made articles. William Mitchell, a Stillwater life insurance agent, has decamped with about $900 of collected premiums. W. F. Luxton, manager and editor in chief of The St.. Paul Globe, is succeeded by G. W. Sikes.

It was a highly confident and ,nth siastie crowd of young people th left this city at noon Saturday Hastings, with their colors high in the air, and it was a hilariously jo3'- ous crowd that arrived here at " mid- night, with their colors still in the air, but with voices too hoarse to make much noise. They had yelled much of the time from here to Hast- ings, they had yelled most of the time at Hastings,• but they yelled all the time from Hastings to Stillwater. They tookepossession of the Mil- waukee train, they took pOssessionof Hastings, and they took possession of the Unien Depot at St. Paul while waiting for the Stillwater train. Iii fact, the Stillwater high school was very much.in evidence wherever the trains bearing its football team and supporters happened to stop. Stil water won the game by the close sco of five to nothing. The game was food one and vigorously contested From start to finish, though neither side played in its usual form. Still- water had the best of the game from the first, and should have made a larder score, but they were somewhat handicapped by the condition of the field on which they played. The ground was soft and the players found it difficult to keep from ' slipping. The only touchdown was made by Stillwater, three llfinntes after the game had started," and they were unable to score • after that. The Hastings team fumbled the ball fre- quently at critical times, or they might have made a better showing. Stillwater took a spurt in the first half. - and soon had the ball close enough to Hastings' goal to try a place kick. The ball went too low, hoe ever, was fumbled by a Hastings wan, and Stillwater got It a few yards from the goal. Booren made the touchdown; but Pennington failed to kick goal. • . • The game was a fast one, being played in less than an hour. Both teams played clean ball, and there was but very little wrangling. Conklin, of Stillwater, again distinguished himself Ily making several Jong runs around left-encl. He was in the game all tile time, and never failed to gain when given the ball The punting of Pen- nington was also a feature. Gilby and 'fucker did the best playing for llastings. . • After the game the Stillwater root- ers took toll possession of the town. !'t,: y -'ii trched up and down the tiaees giving their yells, blowing ttil'n�.. anti - waving tlieti' colors. In he evening the members of the fac- ie•,- gave a fiance in the dining hall )f the Gardner House. Excellent uusie was furnished. and the young eople eejo(ed -themselves while aitiug for their train. A number Ilastiu,s people were present and ,iced in the festivities. Too much cannot be said in praiee f Proprietor Bailey, of the Gardner Mous .toil •1118 assistants. They id evciythiug they could to make 10 stay of the Stillwater people as Ieasant us possible, and gave them u, use of the dining hall for danc- e. fact, the treatment by the (:lstings people generally was all that could he expected, and 'the trip will long be remembered as one of the most pleasant that the high school tu,vs have- ever taken.— Stillwater Gazette, 21st.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in• flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you hate a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

Although the clock in the tall tower •of St. Mary's had long since tolled out the hour of midnight, the brilliantly lighted windows of the Traveler's club presented a bright contrast to the gloom if the surrounding. stores, and when a little later the servant extinguished the other lamps the lights in the smoking room still burned with undimmed ra- diance. A little circle of half a dozen men were gathered around the great fire- place in postures more comfortable than elegant, and were listening with breathless interest to a man who was leaning awkwardly against the side of the chimney. His hands were thrust in the pockets o>; his ill fitting trousers, and his lank figure was emphasized and thrown in relief by the light tints of the wall be- hind him. He certainly was not a handsome man, yet there were an ex- pression of manliness In the - strong face and a suggestion of strength in the broad shoulders and deep chest that never failed to attract and charm one. A silence now fell upon the little group, and for'some moments nothing was beard except the crackling of the pine logs upon the hearth. Then out from the depths of an armchair in their midst came the remark: "I say, Tom, that last story of yours was awfully jolly, and that, but—er—it. had no romance in it, you know." Annerly looked up and smiled. . "My dear fellow,"he languidly inter- posed, "my own life has never contain- ed the slightest thread of romance." "None of that," resounded from all sides. "But if you really want a love *tory I'll give you one secondhand," he fin- ished, apparently unmindful of the in- terruption: When I was In Geneva some weeks ago, I met an old acquaintance and fel- low tourist, Graf von Alburg. We took our supper together and grew quite confidential over our cigars and chianti afterward. At first I Was too much absorbed in the flood of recollections which our meeting called up to notice his reserve, but I soon saw that something was weighing upon his mind. Curious to find out what it was and debating with myself as to whether I should speak to him about it or not, the count suddenly looked up. He gazed at me in some hesitation for a little while and then said slowly: "Annerly, I know well' that I can rely upon your judgment, and I want your advice. I am going to tell you my 'story and want you to weigh all the facts carefully and then tell me what you would do if you were in my place. Will you?" After a few seconds' thought I an- swered "Yes." There was a short pause, during which the count puffed furious- ly away at his cigar, and then he be- gan: "Not long ago I was tramping in the Boebmerwald mountains and toward evening found myself at Erlachan, which nestles against the precipitous side of the tall Schneeberg. The ap- proach to it is long and steep, and I was well nigh. exhausted with my climbing, for I had made -all baste to reach the village before darkness set in. - "It was, therefore, with a grateful sense of relief that I entered the warm inn and, throwing aside my knapsack and belt, sat down to the •supper which was soon ready for me. "My pleasure, however, was of short duration, for hardly bad I got warm and begun to appease my hunger when a peasant entered the room and asked hurriedly for the Herr Doctor. - "'He left for Auvergne this very aft- ernoon,' said the innkeeper, 'but, dear heaven,' he exclaimed in surprise as be saw tbe man totter and almost fall, 'what is the matter?' "'The people at Sena Julia have fall- en sick with the plague,' but nature, so long repressed by the man's force of Will, here asserted itself, and be sank heavily into a chair. " `Gott, be Is dead; yes, dead!' ejacu- lated the terrified landlord. 'Dead! Nonsense! He has fainted, for I saw that it was merely a swoon. 'But where is this Sena Julia?' " `Sena Julia? Why, it is some six miles from here over the mountain and might as well be a thousand such a night as this.' " `Nevertheless, thew is but one thing to do, and that immediately.' "'And that is? " `To go at once,' I replied decisively, casting a look of deep regret at the in- terior of the bright little inn, and sigh- ing as I saw the pipes and ale which the landlord had set out on -the table. But you know, my dear Annerly, that I tike to do what I have to without any delay, and so, without more ado, I be- gan to don'my jacket and leggings, the landlord meanwhile putting some food and other necessaries in my knapsack, with many a mournful shake of the head as be pictured my dangerous journey over the top of the Schnee - berg. "I stepped to the door and opened it. It was torn from my, grasp and slammed against the wall. " `You see it will be useless,' shouted I my terrified companion. 'You will curses, till the air was rent with never reach that cursed hamlet alive,' death agonies, peals of laughter a "Picking up my little pocket tan the ligbt of which was burning s ily beneath its powerful reflect stepped out into the darkness. ble,' muttered the worthy landlord "I shall never forget that a night," said the graf, tilting bac his chair with a very mournful whether the result of the miser chianti or of sorrowful recoilectio was hard to decide. "Briug us -cognac, waiter. "You see," he said to me half a getically, "it always has a bad e on me to speak of that-that—yes, frightful night." He waited a moment, and then, said nothing, he resumed his tale: "To describe my journey is easy describe my suffering is imposs But there is an end to all things, or bad, so runs the old proverb, an it proved in my case, though it more unexpected than pleasant, fo a sudden I had a sensation of d ness and -a feeling as if I were wal in midair, and so I was. ``Looking quickly at the groun saw the earth giving way beneath feet and realized in a flash how des ate was my situation.

The waiter hastened to 511 his or for the appearance of the excited co was something ferocious. Then, r `zing where he was, he settled do into his chair, lit a cigar and mutte sadly: "My .nerves are getting i sad condition; yes, certainly. W where was I? Oh, in the landslide.

Mow to Finish the Edges of a Carpet. An experienced housekeeper tells how, when making a. carpet at home, she strengthens the edges so they will not ravel the first time the carpet goes throug!, its annual beating. After the breadths of her new carpet have been sewed together she takes a needle threaded with strong linen tbread and overcasts her carpet—not In the ordi- nary way. She begins at the edge and takes two or three stitches down into the carpet as if she were going to darn it; then she takes the same number of stitches back in a slanting direction, and when she gets to the edge again she brings her thread over it and runs her needle through the carpet from the peter sidt'. This process is a combina- tion of darning and overcasting which makes the edges firm and even more durable than the rest of the carpet. "Company Manners" in Family Life. When training a young maid, begin from the. first as you mean to go on. It may seem absurd and perhaps even trying to some people to insist on "com- pany manners" in the intimacy of fam- ily life, but unless you accustom the waitress to proper table service until correct welting becomes second nature to her you will never be able to rely on her when emergencies occur. It is this habit of waiting which makes the difference between a good and an indifferent servant and is really only a question of training. A proper- ly trained servant can wait comfort- ably on four or six persons without bustle or delay, while two ill trained ones will reduce the best planned din- ner to confusion and discomfort, Chopped Nat Fritters.

Historical circumstances have often played a leading part in dictating styles in dress, and it may be that rem- lniscences of Marie Antoinette—have struck a note of fashion of the present. The long basqued coats, richly em- broidered, which were worn by the men of the period are brought harmo- niously into relief over the frills and simple furbelows of the feminine taste. The season's precise tendencies are varied, especially regarding the skirt, There is a diversion in the skirt which will cause the present style to be con- sidered more practical for the fashion of the day. The long, sweeping style will mpko way in some cases to the short skirt. It will certainly be welcomed with pleasure by those who promenade and enjoy the pleasure of walking exercise, but it Is doubtful whether the majority of Parisienne% will ever adopt this mode for all occasions. The long, graceful folds, so becom- ingly held up by Frenchwomen, will not be entirely discarded, for the lengthening and graceful effect is natu- rally appreciated by petites personnes. The voluminous and long skirt is decid- edly not as practical for general wear as a costume made to clear the ground. A notable feature in all the new mod- els is evidence of a tendency to a rath- er shortening than lengthening effect, although there is but one house et pres- ent which is endeavoring to promote the revival of a typical short walking cos- tume. Whether the up to date leaders of fashion will take this up remains to be seen' when all Parisienne elegantes have returned to continue their social duties. - Long, flowing -flounces will decidedly hold their own for large salon recep- tions and toilettes de soiree. One point in favor of the attempt to shorten which may be worthy of notice is in the textures and materials being thick and rougb surfaced, almost necessitat- ing a less voluminous skirt for prome- nading. Laces, guipures, passementeries, em- broideries, braids and furs will adorn all chic and dressy costumes d'au' tomne. Especially in vogue is the ve- netian guipure for deep pointed _and square .tabbed collars. - • SILK PATCHWORK, A Pretty Pattern For an Art That Never Goes Quite Oat of Fashion.

The set design illustrated is a simple and exceedingly effective way of using pieces large or small. In this example silk pieces are sewed on to squares' of linen. Those forming the background should be of a uniform dark color, the others forming the pattern in good con- trasting shades. The background may extend under the crossed design, thus giving additional thickness. It will be noticed that the. crossed pieces are laid down on the principle of a child's "pancake" of cards, the cor- ners overlapping one another. It looks well to arrange the pieces in pairs as to shade, the two dark and the two light opposite each other. Fasten them down securely with strong herringbone stitch. When the octagonal pieces are join- ed, it will be found that small, lozenge. shaped spaces of linen are left at the -corners. These look best if filled in with some bright, uniform color., Food Value of Nuts. Nuts have a considerable food value, according to the investigations made by the United States department of agriculture. They form a very con- centrated food and should therefore be eaten with more bulky food. They are rich in fat, chestnuts differing from other kinds in containing a large percentage of carbohydrates or starchy material. Peanuts are very rich in protein, or muscle building and blood enriching material. The reputation nuts have of indigestibility Is owing probably to the fact that they are usually eaten as dessert or between meals when the stomach has already received enough nourishing food. It is generally believed that salt renders nuts more digestible. Iiklrtlets, or Old Style Pantalets.

A ROMANCE OF SENA JULIA How Tom Annerly Secured an Un- • biased Opinion. o . o Although the clock in the tall tower • of St. Mary's had long since tolled out the hour of midnight, the brilliantly lighted windows of the Traveler's club presented a bright contrast to the gloom if the surrounding stores, and when a little later the servant extinguished the other lamps the lights in the smoking room still burned with undimtned ra- diance. A little circle of half a dozen men were gathered around the great fire- place in postures more comfortable than elegant, and were listening with breathless interest to a man who was leaning awkwardly against the side of the chimney. His hands were thrust in the pockets of his ill fitting trousers, and his lank figure was emphasized and thrown in relief by the light tints of the wall be- hind him. He certainly was not a handsome man, yet there were an ex- pression of manliness in the strong Lace and a suggestion of strength in the broad shoulders and deep chest that never failed to attract and charm one. A silence now fell upon the little group, and for -some moments nothing was heard except the crackling of the pine logs upon the hearth. Then out from the depths of an armchair in their midst came the remark: "I say, Tom, that last story of yours was awfully jolly, and that, but—er—it had no romance in it, you know." Annerly looked up and smiled. "My dear fellow," he languidly inter- posed, "my own life has never contain- ed the slightest thread of romance." "None of that," resounded from all sides. "But if you really want a love story I'll give you one secondhand," be fin- ished, apparently unmindful of the in- terruption: e When I was in Geneva some weeks ago, I met an old acquaintance and fel- low tourist, Graf von Alburg. We took our supper together and grew quite confidential over our cigars and chianti afterward. At first I Was too much absorbed in the flood of recollections which our meeting called up to notice his reserve, but I soon saw that something was weighing upon his mind. Curious to find out what it was and debating with myself as to whether I should speak to him about it or not, the count suddenly looked up. He gazed at re in some hesitation for a little while and then said slowly: "Annerly, I know well that I can rely upon your judgment, and I want your advice. I am going to tell you my 'story and want you to weigh all the facts carefully and then tell me what you would do if you were in my place. Will you?" After a few seconds' thought I an- swered "Yes." There was a short pause, during which the count puffed furious- ly away at his cigar, and then he be- gan: "Not long ago I was tramping in the Boebmerwald mountains and toward evening found myself at Erlechan, which nestles against the precipitous side of the tall Schneeberg. The ap- proach to it is long and steep, and 1 was well nigh exhausted with my climbing. for I had made -all haste to reach the village before darkness set in. "It was, therefore, with a grateful sense of relief that I entered the warn inn and, throwing aside my knapsack and belt, sat down to the supper which was soon ready for me. "My pleasure, however, was of short duration, for hardly bad I got warm and begun to appease my hunger wjlen a peasant entered fhe room and asked hurriedly for the Herr Doctor. "'He left for Auvergne this very aft- ernoon,' said the innkeeper, 'but, dear heaven,' he exclaimed in surprise as he saw the man totter and almost fall, 'what is the matter?' "'The people at Sena Julia have fall- en sick with the plague,' but nature, so long repressed by the man's force of will, here asserted itself, and he sank heavily into a chair. "'Gott, he is dead; yes, dead!' ejacu- lated the terrified landlord. "'Dead! Nonsense! He has fainted, for I saw that it was merely a swoon. 'But where is this Sena Julia? "'Sena Julia? Why, it is some six miles from here over the mountain and might as well be a thousand such a night as this.' "'Nevertheless, them is but one thing to do, and that immediately.' "'And that Is? `To go at once,' I replied decisively. • casting a look of deep regret at the in. terior of the bright little inn, and sigh- ing as I saw the pipes and ale which the landlord had set out onthe table. But you know, my dear Annerly, that I like to do what I have to without any delay, and so, without more ado, I be- gan to don my jacket and leggings, the landlord meanwhile putting some food and other necessaries in my knapsack, with many a mournful shake of the head as he pictured my dangerous journey over the top of the Schnee - berg. "I stepped to the door and opened It was torn from my grasp and slammed against the walL "'Yon see It will be useless,' shouted my terrified companion.

"Bring us s cognac, waiter. "You see," he said to use half ai "it always has a bad e on me to speak of that—that—yes, frightful night." He waited a moment, and then, said nothing, he resumed his tale: "To describe my journey is easy describe my suffering is imposs But there is au end to all things, or bad, so runs the old proverb, an it proved in my case, though it more unexpected than pleasant, fo a sudden I had a sensation of d ness and a feeling as if I were was in midair, and so I was. "Looking quickly at the groun saw the earth giving way beneath feet and realized in a flash how des ate was my situation. I was in ala slide. "Cognac!" shouted the count exci ly, bringing his fist down upon table with a force which made glasses rattle and the people at neighboring tables stare at him c ously. The waiter hastened to fill his or for the appearance of the excited co was something ferocious.

In order to protect the smoker a paternal legisla- ture has enacted that not more than 4 per cent of olive oil shall be used by manufacturers for "making up" or fla- voring." and the businesslike manufac- turer has sometimes complained that this 4 per cent is not a sufficient allow- ance, because the tobacco 'leaf itself supplies an oil which might be rnistak- en for the manufacturing product. The government analysts have, there- fore, experimented with forty --six to- baccos, and they find that the essential oil of tobacco usually exists only in the smallest of quantities, sometimes not more than .05 per cent. The oil is a paraffin, technically a paraffin hydro- carbon.—London Post. Fooling Gladstone, Gladstone was fond of loitering around the secondhand bookshop win- dows and fingering the volumes which were there displayed. If he pick- ed up a book that interested him, he frequently became quite (editions to his surroundings. On one of these occasions a loafer, who must have carefully studied Mr. Gladstone's hab- its, whispered quietly, "Half a crown, please, sir." Without raising his eyes from the book Mr. Gladstone put his hand In his pocket and handed over the half crown. A few minutes later he was going off with his prize when the book- seller, who knew him well by sight. stopped him with a demand for one shilling, the price of the .gook. "But I have already given you half a crown," said Mr. Gladstone, and explanations followed. No Reciprocity. "Brownly thinks he has the smartest child in the world." • "Yes," answered the morose man.

How to Finish the Edges of a Carpet, An experienced housekeeper tells how, when making a. carpet at home, she strengthens the edges so they will not ravel the first time the carpet goes through its annual beating. After the breadths of her new carpet have been sewed together she takes a needle threaded with strong linen thread and overcasts her carpet—not in the ordi- nary way. She begins 'at the edge and takes two or three stitches down into the carpet as if she were going to darn it; then she takes the same number of stitches back in a slanting direction, al d when she gets to the edge again she brings her thread over it and runs her needle through the carpet from the under side. This process is a combina- tion of darning and overcasting which makes the edges firm and even more durable than the rest of lire carpet.

They have nice horses and cattle out A7 A Few items From the Fountain Read of Styles. Historical circumstances have often played a leading part in dictating styles in dress, and it may be that rem- iniscences of Marie Antoinette have struck a note of fashion of the present. The long basqued coats, richly em- broidered, which were worn by the men of the period are brought harmo- niously into relief over the frills and simple furbelows of the feminine taste. The season's, precise tendencies are varied, especially regarding the skirt. There is a diversion in the skirt which will cause the present style to be con- sidered more practical for the fashion of the day. The long, sweeping style will make way in some cases to the short skirt. It will certainly be welcomed with pleasure by those who promenade and enjoy the pleasure of walking exercise, but it is doubtful whether the majority of Parisiennes will ever adopt this mode for all occasions. The long, graceful folds, so becom- ingly held up by Frenchwomen, will not be entirely discarded, for the lengthening and graceful effect is natu- rally appreciated by petites personnes. The voluminous and long skirt is decid- edly not as practical for general wear as a costume made to clear the ground. A notable feature in all the new mod- els is evidence of a tendency to a rath- er shortening than lengthening effect, although there is but one house at pres- ent which is endeavoring to promote the revival of a typical short walking cos- tume. Whether the up to date leaders of fashion will take this up remains to be seen- when all Parisienne elegantes have returned to continue their social duties. Long, flowing flounces will decidedly hold their own for large salon recep- tions and toilettes de soiree. One point in favor of the attempt to shorten which may be 'worthy of notice is in the textures and materials being thick and rough surfaced, almost necessitat- ing a less voluminous skirt for prome- nading. Laces, guipures, passementeries, em- broideries, braids and furs will adorn all chic and dressy costumes t1 aut tomne. Especially In vogue is the ve- netian guipure for deep pointed .and square tabbed collars. SILK PATCHWORK.

The set design illustrated is a simple and Exceedingly effectitv way of using pieces large or small. In this example silk pieces are sewed -on to squares of linen. Those forming the background should be of a uniform dark color, the others forming the pattern in good con- trasting shades. The background may extend under the crossed design, thus giving additional thickness. It will be noticed that the crossed pieces are laid down on the principle of a child's "pancake" of cards, the cor- ners overlapping one another. It looks well to arrange the pieces in pairs as to shade, the two dark and the two Tight opposite each other. Fasten them down securely with strong herringbone stitch. When the octagonal pieces are join- ed, it will be found that small, lozenge shaped spaces of linen are left at the -corners. These look best if filled in with some bright, uniform color. Food Value of Nuts. Nuts have a considerable food value, according to the investigations Made by the United States department of agriculture. They form a very con- centrated food and should therefore be eaten with more bulky food. They are rich in fat, chestnuts ditl'ering from other kinds in containing a large percentage of carbohydrates or starchy material. I'eanuts are very rich in protein, or muscle building and blood enriching material. The reputation nate have of indigestibility is owing probably to the fact that they are usually eaten as dessert or between meals when the stomach has already received enough nourishing food. It is generally believed that salt renders nuts more digestible. iikirtiets. or Old! Style Pantalets.

It. was an uptown grocery which a little' girl about five years of age enter- ed the other day, saying "I want a spool of cotton!" "You won't get that here," replied ' the grocer jokingly. "You'll have to go to the blacksmith's shop for that." "1 wftlit a spool of cotton," the• child repeated, clutching something very tightly in her right hand.

When First Adopted by the Public, They Seem to Have Been Utilised Solely as Sun Protectors—Once an Attribute of Dignity-. In the early Christian churches -a large umbrella usually hung over the priest, and it is said that from this custom it became one of the attributes of cardinals appointed from basilican churches. For years the doges of Venice carried umbrellas of state, and in 1288 Pope Alexander III. declared that these should be surmounted by golden statuettes of the annunciation. Michael Morosint was the first Vene- tian layman to carry an umbrella, which consisted of a small, flat square of green stuff, over which was a cop- per spiral. Soon after the umbrella was adopted by fashionable Venetian dames. According to Coryat's "Crudi- ties" (1611), the Italian umbrella was a small canopy and was made of leath- er extended by a series of wooden hoops. He says umbrellas were used by horsemen, who, resting the handles en the thigh as they rode, bore them so that they should "minister shadow unto them for shelter against the scorching sun." In the Harlelan manuscripts, now in the British museum, there is in manu- script No. 603 a crude illustration showing the figure of a yoeman hold- ing an umbrella over his lord, which leads me to infer that umbrellas were known in England even in the early Anglo-Saxon period. Beck, as quoted in the Draper's Dic- tionary, asserts that at the time that Stephen usurped the crown of England (twelfth century) umbrellas were in common use among the English. The first mention of the umbrella in Eng- lish literature is In Florio's "World of Wonders" (1598), where it is described as a "kind of round fan or shadowing that they use to ride with in summer in Italy; a little shade." In 1656 an umbrella was exhibited in the "Museum Tradescantianum; or, Collection of Rarities Preserved at South Lambeth, Near London, by John Tradescant," which was known as "one of the wonders of the ark." In the church of Cartmell, in Lanca- shire, England, there was preserved until a few years ago an umbrella said to be over 31)0 yet 7s old, which was used chiefly to protect the host. References to th 'umbrella are to be fou 1 also in Blount's "Glossographia" ( and Phillips' "New Worlde of W_rs" (1678). In, the first the refer- ence reads: "Umbrello, a fashion of round and broad fans, wherewith the Indians (and from them our great ones) preserve themselves from the heat of the sun, and hence any little shadow, fan or other thing wherewith the wom- en guard their faces from the sun." The second runs: "Umbrelio, a screen against the sun's heat, used chiefly by the Spaniards, among whom it is known by the name quitasole." The imaginative Dean Swift in the "Tale of a Tub" (1696) depicts Jack, an ever resourceful type, making use of a parchment copy of his father's will as a nightcap when he went to bed and as an umbrella in rainy weather. Did the worthy Hanway take his cue from this or from Kersey,according to whom the umbrella was a "broad fan or screen counnonly' used by women to shelter theca from rain?" The last ref- erence, made in 1700, is the first men- tion of it as a protector from the rain. Later Palley, who in his dictionary (1737i called it a parasol, defined it as "a sort of small canopy to keep off the rain." Small, light umbrellas came into fashion among the ladies of the French court in 1675, and these were carried by attendants. Richelet tells us that they were made of oilcloth or leather and had ribs of whalebone. A century later they found favor with the men, who carried red umbrellas, with edges fringed with gold lace. The precise date when Jonas Han - way, who died in 1786, introduced the umbrella into England is not recorded in any of the encyclopedias I have at hand, but they . all state that he was popularly known as its introducer. With the Dutch, as with the Indian grandees, the umbrella was firstan - at- tribute of dignity, and well it might be, for the prices paid for them at The Hague in 1650 ranged from $75 to*120 each. The Dutch colonists who settled at the Cape of Good Hope were not slow to insist on preserving the dignity of the umbrella, for Ryk van Tulbagh, governor of Cape Colony in 1752, en- acted that "No one less in rank than it junior merchant or those among the citizens of equal rank, and the wives and daughters only of those who are or have been members of any council shall venture to use umbrellas, and those who are less in rank than mer- chants shall not enter the castle in fine weather with an open umbrella."— Frank H. Vizetelly in New York Times. A Nongolfer's Opinion of Golf. Imagine a great fat creature who ought to wear a turban and a long black robe to hide his grossness whack- ing a little white ball for miles and miles with a perfect surgery of instru- • ments, whacking it either with a baby- ish solemnity or a childish rage, as luck may have decided, and inciden- tally training an innocent eyed little boy to swear and be a tip hunting loafer. That's golf.—H. T. W. Wells in Pearson's Magazine. AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY. A Series of Order. That Rejuvenated the Ailing Slaves. A correspondent sends the following story .of an old Virginia gentleman: Some years before the war a gentle- man of large landed interests counted among his possessious a plantation on the James river, an estate of consider- able dimensions. Other interests kept him away from the old place for some years, during which time there was a marked decrease in the revenue. Upon his return to the plantation he discov- ered that many of the slaves were laid up with rheumatism and other miser- ies, the farming implements were in bad order and the old homestead was fast going to rack and ruin. Calling his overseer he said: "Anderson, I notice a great many old wagons, plows and harrows about the place. Have them brought and piled in front of the house, and on Monday next order all the niggers on the place to be present." At the appointed time they came. The pile was set on fire and the imple- ments destroyed. The following week he called the overseer's attention to the sick and infirm horses, hogs and cattle and gave the same order. When the negroes had assembled all the animals were knocked In the head. The Fri- day following the landlord again called his overseer. "Anderson, I see a great many sick niggers around here—many who seem to be laid up with rheumatism and are good for nothing. Give orders that on Monday morning at 10 o'clock they all appear in the front yard." The effect on the slaves was magical. On Saturday men who had been un- able to walk were skipping around like children; the sick grew well suddenly, and from that time on the plantation was most prosperous.—Exchange. FOOD OF AMERICANS. An English Woman Tells of the Strange Things She Ate Here. An English woman who visited Amer- ica a short time ago has been telling her country women about the "strange food across the water." Of course she discovered green corn, but she had been prepared for that. Oyster crabs were quite new to her. "They look like Boston baked beans," she explains, "but they taste much bet- ter." An oyster cocktail filled her with awe and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del- monico's and thought it was soup. Of course in England one didn't serve soup in a glass; but, then, neither did the English serve boiled eggs in a glass. One could never be sure of Americans. Of canvasback duck she has a poor opinion, but thinks she might like it better if Americans would have it cook- ed or even warmed. As for terrapin, she sings its praise. She found it much like calf's head, and she always liked calf's head. Shades of Maryland gour- mets, what a slur is there! "All the puddings in America are pie or ice cream," she says, but it must be understood that pie does not mean game pie. The Yankee pie is a tart and is ubiquitous, she explains. She sat next to an American man who ate a lump of cheese with his strawberry pie and turned a plateful of ice cream over both, but she doesn't know that that is a general custom. The oysters were good, but had most impossible names, and the cockles (meaning clams) are excellent.

Edward Cocker, who lived in the reign of Charles II., is chiefly known to the present generation by the say- ing in common use, "According to Cocker," which means in accordance with arithmetical rules. I saw the oth- er day amid the treasures of a private collector a copy of the first edition of Cocker's immortal work on arithmetic, published by T. Passenger at the Three Bibles on London bridge. Only two, or at most three, perfect copies are known to the book collector. One is in the British museum. This par- ticular copy, its brown morocco piti- fully faded, bears on its title page the inscription, "Cocker's Arithmeti k p c, Perused and Published by John Haw- kins by the Author's Correct Copy." It contains what purports to be a portrait of "ingenious Cocker." Ex- perts, however, shake their heads over the authenticity of this work of art. There are many engraved portraits of the epoch, but there was only one Cocker. The British museum copy has no portrait, and there is too much rea- son to fear that this embellishment was added by some ingenious owner of an earlier century. Cocker died in 1675. This rare relic of the past bears date 1678.—Scotsman. Georges Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Accokeele furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Princi- pio company, composed of English cap- italists, as early as 1726, on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace prop- ertY in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company.

SHOWERS OF MANNA. JUST WHY AND HOW SUCH PHE- NOMENA ARE POSSIBLE. - This Food of the People of Israel In the Wilderness is an Edible Lichen Thnt Is Still Found In Parts of Asia and Africa. "it is manna!" exclaimed the people of Israel as they gathered the food which seemed so miraculously to ap- pear at their very feet in answer to their cry for sustenance, but though they ate and were satisfied, we are told they "wist not what it was." And during the ages that have pass- ed since its first appearance on that memorable dewy morning in the wil- derness of sin men have declared again and again that they "wast not what it was" that thus fed the Israelites in their need, though numberless conjec- tures have been made and discussions held on the matter. The chief opinion which had sway sae as long time was that manna was the sap of the tamarisk, but now au- thorities, seeing in the light OW widen- ing scientific know -ledge, declare that manna was without doubt a certain lichen (Lecanora esculents). This is borne out by the fact that well authenticated rains of manna, ab- solutely believed by the inhabitants to be showers from heaven, have been re- ported at least six times during the past century by reliable travelers in the east, and the descriptions of the deposit given in precise present day language leave no doubt upon the point. If a piece of manna be examined under the microscope. its peculiar com- pound structure can be clearly seen. There is a delicate network of interlac- ing, fungal threads glistening in the light, while inclosed in their meshes are a number of round, bright green cells, each a tiny algal plant. Thus fungus and alga lite together in most intimate connection. It may be asked how fresh manna lichens arise, seeing that it is difficult to imagine a frequent coincident meet- ing of a particular fungus and a par- ticular green plant. But granted the meeting has once taken place, the rapid reproduction is easy to understand. At certain times in the year a yellow- ish dust appears in little green cups growing on the surface of the plant, and each of the grains of dust is a minute bundle containing a few of the white filaments and a few of the green cells wrapped up together, so that wherever this dust may fall each grain can become a new manna lichen. There is, moreover, a second method of reproduction in which the fungus alone takes part and sends out tiny off- spring to take their chance in the wide world of finding a suitable host, as their parent has done, but the details are complicated and at present involved in some obscurity. Thus, then, Lecanora esculents — manna—is in its very nature one of the most remarkable phenomena in the vegetable world. It is found over great tracts of southwest Asia, near Constan- tinople, in the Crimea, the deserts of Arabia, in the Sahara and the deserts of Algeria. It is easy to pass it by unnoticed, for it is grayish yellow in color and grows on gray limestone rocks and fragments of rock in the form of a wrinkled crust which seems to the casual observer part of ti' very rock itself, and needs care to distinguish it. Cut through, it is white like corn within, dry and powdery. It is. more- over, extremely light it) weight. It is obvious that there is not much nourish- ment to be obtained from the bare face of the limestone rock. hence all the sus- tenance of the two plants must be ob- tained from the atmosphere and the rain by the little green plant, which must thus work doubly hard to be able to pass on sufficient food for its part- ner's living in addition to providing its own. By degrees, as it grows older, it be- comes loosened or even detached from the rocks, and then, when the sudden whirlwinds and violent storms which affect many of these regions blow, the featherweight pieces of lichen crust are torn up and blown into the air at the mercy of the wind and carried, it may be, for immense distances. ' The rains, too, that descend with such sudden vehemence sweep it away into water channels, where it is borne along on the stream and deposited in hollows and left there in heaps when the water subsides. At times, too, a waterspout will gather it up, carry it along aud ulti- mately deposit it in a place where hith- erto it bad been practically unknown.— Sunday Magazine. Impertinent. It is said that Sarah, duchess of Marlborough, one day remarked to her grandson, Jack Spencer: "Jack, you must marry, and I will give you a list of the ladies you may propose to." "Very well, grannie," he said, and he proposed to the first on the list. When he came back with his wife from their wedding tour, they went to pay their respects to the old lady. "Well, now," she said, "I am the root, and you are only the branches, and therefore you must always pay me a great deal of deference." "That Is all very well," said Jack Impertinently, "but I think the branches would flourish a great deal better if Jthe root was under ground." An Agreeable Lotion.

"Twen- ty-five cents, eh? Not on your life. It takes seventy cents to do the trick. liow many ways do you suppose a quarter dollar can be changed? Just exactly eleven.

"If he prefers to have change handy for a beer and a car fare, why, fifteen pennies and two nickels will fix him up, and if he wants a cigar in addition, besides having a little stock of cash in his jeans, give him ten pennies and three nickels. That makes six ways. Now, then, a fellow with a quarter can trade it off for five pennies and two dimes, five peunies and four nickels, two dimes and one nickel, one dime and three nickels or rive nickels, just as he prefers.

One of the commonest forms of pound foolishness is countenanced by many high authorities. This is the purchase of certain household provisions in large quantities. Few writers on domestic topics fail to lay stress upon the econ- omy of buying groceries in bulk. That sugar and flour, potatoes and apples should be bought by the half or whole barrel, cereals by the case,)utter by the tub and other things in like propor- tion is one of the early precepts in the "Young housekeeper's Complete Guide to Domestic Lconomy." The ignorant young things buy the provisions first and the experience aft- erward. The flour grows musty, the cereals develop weevils, the potatoes and apples rot long before they can be eaten, and the cook exercises a lavish- ness in the use of the butter and sugar she would never show were they bought in such limited amounts that the house- keeper could hold close watch over them. Even after these events the young mistress feel: as if she were ab- solutely reckless and no manager at all when she so far departs from house- hold law as to buy food in small quan- tities.—Independent Loneliness and Health. A medical journal has of late been discoursing on the indigestion of lone- liness. By this title is meant to be in- dicated the disorders of digestion which are believed to folbw the practice of taking one's meals in solitary state. The topio is by no means an uninter- esting one. Thousands of men and wo- men living alone are compelled to take their meals for the most part without company. Week in and week out they feed themselves without a soul to talk to, and the medical journal devotes its energies to showing that the practice is not one.that is likely to be conducive to digestion, to proper bodily nourish- ment or to- health. The solitary man soon tires of merely eating, and, if he is not of a literary turn of mind, his tend- ency is to hurry through his meals to escape from his loneliness into the so- ciety of his fellow men. Herein, It is held, lies a danger to health. Two Good Arguments. "I say that Adam and Eve never ex- isted," declared the first theological disputant.

In fact they will fight anything, says a nat ralist. I have seen a crab, in confitc with a lobster, catch the latter over the fore part of the head. where the shell is hardest, and crush it In by one effort, and it rather bears out my idea that the claws of these creatures are particularly weapons of war; that the moment one of them receives severe in- jury in a claw it drops it off by volun- tary amputation, severing its connec- tion with the body at the shoulder by an act of its own will. It seems to me probable that if the claw were neces- sary for feeding nature would rather seek to cure an injury to it than let the animal discard it altogether. The species of crab which is most conspicuously a fighter is the hermit crab. Its first idea of independent life is to eat a harmless whelk and occupy its shell. Its next notion is to give bat- tle to every crab of the same persua- sion as itself that it cones across. Al- together hermit crabs are undoubtedly the most quarrelsome creatures in, ex- istence. The Hand Kiss. The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly ancient and therefore is not derived from that of the lips, but probably the converse is true. The hand kiss Is loosely asserted to be developed from servile obeisances in which the earth, the foot and the garments were kissed, the hand and cheek succeeding in order of time and approach to equality of rank. But it is doubtful if that was the actual order, and it is certain that at the time when band kissing began there were less numerous gradations of rank than at a later stage. Kissing of the hands between men is mentioned in the Old Testament, also by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss was applied reverentially to sacred ob- jects, such as statues of the gods, as is shown by ancient works of art, and also among numerous etymologies by. that of the Latin word "adorn," and it was also metaphorically applied by the inferior or worshiper kissing his own hand and throwing the salute to the superior or statue. Con vincing. The methods employed by ex -Gov- ernor Throckmorton of Texas to make clear the claims of his clients were perhaps unlike those of any other law- yer, but they often carried conviction with them. At one time he was defending a man who was on trial for murder In Gaines- ville, Tex. He desired to make it plain to the jury that the man whom his cli- ent had killed, although In his shirt sleeves and without a pistol pocket, might have been well armed. "Can you see any signs of arms about me?" demanded the general, tak- ing off his coat and standing before the jurors. They shook their beads. "Watch me!" he said dramatically, and with that he proceeded to draw a pistol from under each arm, one from each boot leg and from the back of his neck a bowie knife of most sinis,st• as- pect.—Youth's Companion. Hearing a Fly Walk, As the -fly glides rapidly over a smooth surface every step presses out a supply of gum strong enough to give him a awlre footing and to sustain him in safe- ty if he halts.

The name of France is derived from the Franci, or Franks, a people of Ger- many who seized that part of the country nearest the Rhine and settled there. Later on they subdued Paris and made that the royal seat of their Increasing empire. The origin of other geographical names is interesting and will serve to enlighten us when we read of; for in- stance, Hibernia for Ireland. Hibernia is said to be derived from a Phoeni- clan word meaning "farthest habita- tion," there being no country known to them west of Erin. Portugal obtained its name from Por- to, the haven or port where the Gauls landed their stores. This is Oporto, called by the Portuguese 0 Porto (the port). The town was given as a dowry to Teresa when she married Henry de Lorraine, who styled himself Earl of Portugal because the place was known as the portus Gallorum (the port of the Gauls). The name was finally extend- ed to the whole country. Russia took its denomination from the Rossi, or Russl, a people of the south of Russia, who possessed them- selves of the country in the declining days of the Greek empire. Being the predominant inhabitants, they imposed their name on all the rest. A Street Parable. A little girl stood at a window blow- ing soap bubbles. Beneath stood a lit- tle boy, and as she blew bubbles to- ward him he tried to catch them. They broke and disappeared on all sides, but the two laughed and kept up the game, she smiling down and he gazing Upward eagerly. "Behold, a parable!" said a man to a woman. "The eternal relation of the sexes! You blow beautiful bubbles down to us from your height, and we weary ourselves in trying vainly to catch them. Poor little boy!" The pair played and laughed in the sunshine until the boy grew tired. He called out "Goodby!" gayly and ran away to play with other boys and glrls in the street. The girl looked after him wistfully, a shadow on her face. She did not care to blow bubbles any more. She leaned out to watch him, and as she did so she tipped over the bowl of soapy water. She looked very lonely. "Behold, a parable!" said the woman to the man. "He has tired of the game; not she. There is no other little boy to blow bubbles to, and if there were she has no pretty bubbles left to blow. Eternal relation of sexes! Poor little girl!"—New York Tribune. Fire Among Savage Nations, According to Pliny fire was a Iong time unknown to some of the ancient Egyptian tribes, and when a celebrated astronomer made them acquainted with that element and how to produce it they were wild with delight. The Per- sians, Phoenicians, Greeks anal several other nations acknowledge that their ancestors were once without the com- forts which fire bestows; the Chinese confess the same of their progenitors. Pompanion, Mola, Plutarch and other ancient writers speak of nations which, at the time when they wrote, knew not the use of fire or had just recently learned it. The inhabitants of the Marian islands, which were discovered in 1551, had no idea of fire or its uses. Their astonishment knew no bounds when they saw It applied to wood, most of them taking it to be some kind of an animal which the sailors had brought with them and which must be fed on wood. All Charged but the Cork. A good story is told of a digger who had ridden into a Western Australian town to consult a doctor. Having done so, he went to have the prescription made up. "How much is this lot?" he asked the chemist. "Well, let me see," was the reply. "There's seven and sixpence for the medicine and a shilling for the bottle." He hesitated, uncertain whether he had charged for everything. "Oh, hurry up, boss," said the impa- tient miner; "put a price on the cork end let us know the worst."—London Tit -Bits. His ant.

The inhabitants of the countries bor- dering on India have their own meth- ods of making fire. A. Burmese mes- senger recently brought a note to an English official, and the latter observed something resesbling a boy's• popgun hanging by the messenger's side. Cu- riosity prompted him to ask the native what it was, and he was surprised to find that It was a machine for making fire. The native exhibited the apparatus and explained the working, concluding with a practical demonstration. It was a tube, closed at one end and fitted with a piston. At the end of the piston was a groove or cavity, smeared with wax, which was used for making thread or inflammable material adhere to it. The tinder, to keep the old name, is pressed on the wax when a light is required and is not kept there always. Placing the wisp of cotton on the wax, the native inserted the tightly fitting piston in the tube, then forced it along the latter by giving it a sharp blow. On withdrawing the piston the cotton was found to be alight, having been ignited by the concussion with the compressed air.—Pearson's Weekly. Gulsot, Thiers and Bismarck.

BLWRCL —Berlin Freie Press. Blunt Judge Morris. On one occasion, in trying an abduc- tion case, Lord Morris, once chief jus- tice of Ireland, addressed the jury as follows: "I am compelled to direct you to find a verdict of guilty in this case, but you will easily see that I think it is a trifling thing, which I regard as quite unfit to occupy my time. It is more valuable than yours. At any rate, it is much better paid for. Find, there- fore, the prisoner guilty of abduction, which rests, mind ye, on four points— the father was not averse, the mother was not opposed, the girl was willing and the boy was convaynient." The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Judge sentenced him to remain in the dock till the rising of the court. Hardly had he delivered sentence than, turning to the sheriff, Lord Morris said: "Let us go," and, looking at the prisoner, be called across the court, "Marry the girl at once, and God bless you both." How High Birds Fly. A Strassburg aeronaut says he has seen an eagle at the height of 3,000 yards, and again a pair of storks and a buzzard 900 yards above the sea level. On March 10, 1890, some aeronauts observed a lark flying at a height of 1,000 yards. On July 18, 1899, another balloon met a couple of crows at an altitude of 1,400 yards. These, how- ever, are exceptions. Birds are hardly ever seen above a height of 1,000 yards; even above 400 yards they are not fre- quent, A Relic of Peter the Great.

The pacing habit is common among animals, says a writer in Scribner's Magazine. Many animals pace—cattle, for instance; and, among dogs, setters. I believe pacing to be a rather more natural gait than trotting. Trotting, as it exists in our fast horses, is scarce- ly a natural gait, but is rather the re- sult of breeding and education. A Night Light. Some people make It a point never to retire without a light burning in the house. A bit of information worth knowing is that a small even light may be obtained from a small piece of can- dle all night if line powdered salt is piled around the candle until the black . part of the wick is reached. Work For It. Nothing that is of real worth lean be achieved without courageous working. Man owes his growth chiefly to that active striving of the will, that en- counter with difficulty, which we call effort; and it is astonishing to find how often results apparently impracticable are thus made possible.

Harold L. Lyon, instructor in the department of botany, by his in- vestigations in - t110"embryology of nelumbo, has completely overturned the attempted classification of M. Ph. Van Tieghem, the leader of the French school of systematic botany. That a young and unknown instructor should thus set at fault the master botanists is nothing short of remark- able. The nelumbo, or saered bean, Minnesota's largest water lily, is found in great abundance at Hal - stead's Bay, Lake Minnetonka. The embryology of this plant has never been satisfactorily worked out. Mr. Lyon began the study of it at the instance of Prof. Conway McMillan. He secured some excellent specimens, and the results of his work were of the important nature indicated. He firmly established nelumbo as a mon000tylodenous planta Mr. Lyon's investigations were recognized by Prof. I. Bailey -Balfour, president of the British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, in his speech before the society at the recent meet- ing in Glasgow. Mr. Lyon comes from Hastings, Minn. He graduat- ed from the state university two years ago, and was made an instructor only this fall. -St. Paul Pioneer Press. Blotting paper for sale at this office, five cents per sheet. Forest Regeneration. Gen. C. C. Andrews, chief forest tire warden of Minnesota, delivered an interesting lecture at the auditori- um of the High Sehool on Tuesday evening, from which the following extracts are taken: The pine that is nowcut each year in Minnesota is worth $6,000.000 :just as it stands. With the growth of population there is increased demand for forest products. Already in most of the lumber yards in this state will be found lumber from the Pacific Coast competing with our home products. For any one who will need to erect farm buildings iii the next twenty-five years it will make a difference of hundreds of dollars whether or not we inaugurate forest regeneration. There are ten million acres of land in Minnesota suitable for agriculture, but not yet cultivated. and its development, will depend not a little on the cheapness of lumber. Forestry is the science of raising crops of trees for profit, and especially con- cerns us because the pine has its home in our state. On refuse land that is too sandy. too hilly, or too rocky for field culture the pine will grow to merchanta- ble size in eighty years. There are, in scattered localities. and mostly in north- ern Minnesota. an aggregate of three million acres of such land which is now useless and yearly growing poorer, and which should be put and kept in forest by the state. if this were now begun the state would in eighty years begin to derive a net annual revenue therefrom of $3,000,000. The annual average growth of the pine on sandy soil in the state forests of Saxony is two ,hulidred and twenty-five feet board measure per acre. There are four hundred and thirty-two thousand acres of such forest, mostly on non-agricultural land, and consequently the annual average growth in the whole forest is ninety-seven million feet, which amount of mature trees could annually be cut and leave the capital unimpaired. The average growth in this country is about, the same. The leading principles of -forestry are these: Forest that is to be permanent should occupy only non- agricultural land, should be treated as iuviolable capital, and no more be har- vested in a year than equals the growth the same period: when young should be crowded to promote height growth; the cutting should be done so as to promote natural regeneration from neighboring trees, Forestry is business, and aims to get the best continuous revenue from capital. Suppose we owned a tract of virgin forest. According to forestry we should at the earliest moment, and with the axe, put it is such a condition that it will, by its growth, be earning good interest on the capital it represents.

Barrnun 's Monkeys "All well -all happy -lots of fun". That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul- sion. Consumption was carry- ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones, One day a keeper accident- ally broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emul- sion than new monkeys -and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in roan is the same disease. If you have it or are threaten- ed with it can you take the hint? This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and Is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for free ample..

THE RUNAWAYS A Story of Antebellum Days. By ANNA LAURA GRAVES. "Please, sah, ole Uncle Eph'urn done run away ag'in, sal." "What?" thundered Colonel Ran- dolph, starting to his feet. "This is the fifth year that negro has run away. I'll see about this." And, catching up his cane and panama hat, he strode down the avenue toward the negro quarters. He stopped before the cabin of Aunt Dinah, the wife of the recreant, aud she met hint by answering his unspo- ken question. "Yes, sah, he done run away ag'in, done gone. It's pow'ful cu'ous, sah. He'll come back. You know, he allus in my mind about R. He knows what a kind massa he got, and"peahs lak when he come back he pow'ful shame o' hisself; but he done gone ag'in." As was always the case with him, the colonel's wrath had subsided by the time he had reached Uncle Ephra- im's cabin, and after hearing Aunt Dinah's explanation he said thought- fully: "Well, tell Eph to come and see me when he comes back, and we'll not search for him this time." Then he walked slowly back to the house. At dinner that day the family dis- cussed the runaway. He had been born on the plantation and was a great favorite with them all. He was only a few days ogler than the colonel. They had been boys together, and the slave had been devoted to "his white folks." But every October for five years Eph had mysteriously disappear- ed, to appear again in about two weeks, a little shamefaced, and his only explanation to the darkies had been that he "jes' had to go." The colonel had maintained a dis- creet silence. He remembered the long years of unbroken loyalty and devo- tion of Ephraim, and waited for him to explain his disappearance, but the explanation had never come. This time the colonel had determined to ask for it. About two weeks after this last Oc- tober day a disheveled old darky walked into Aunt Dinah's cabin. His clothes were torn by brambles and cov- ered with the mud of the swamps. He looked tired, but happy. Uncle Ephra- im had returned. He said little by way of reply to the upbraidings of Aunt Dinah, who gave him a good "tongue lashing" for his "ongratitude to ole massa to run off winced at the last appellation, for Uncle Eph was quite an aristocrat in his way, having been coachman in the Randolph family ever since he had ar- rived at man's estate. He said noth- ing, however, for Le was rather a si- lent darky. When Aunt Dinah had "had her say," she gave him the master's mes- sage. He stopped smoking, his cob pipe went out. At last he arose, put ou his battered hat and, without changing his mud stained garnrents, walked slowly up to the "big house." Colonel Randolph solemnly surveyed the weather beaten runaway. "Well, Eph," he said sternly, "I've never asked you before, but now I want you to tell me why you ran Ephraim, fingering his hat and look- ing at his muddy shoes, said: "That's jus' what I'm gwine to do, Marse Phil. Seem lak I couldn't wait to fix up none. I jus' got to tell you now. You know, Marse Phil" (and Uncle Eph coughed), "we been knowiu' one 'nuther a long time. You know my mammy wah yo' black mammy, too, an' you kn,ow we done play togedder, we did, an' we hunted togedder, we did, an' you know, Marse Phil, you could outride anybody In dis coun- try"— "That we could," broke in the colo- nel, forgetting himself for the moment, unconscious of his role as judge of a runaway negro and remembering only his happy boyhood. "Well, Marse Phil, you know In de sah, when de sun shines sort o' meller lak an' when de muscadines an' fox grapes an"simmons am ripe an' de chestnuts am droppin', sah, I jes' can't stand it nohow. I jes"bleeged to ruu away. 'Peahs lak I jus' recollect de tirne, Marse Phil, I do, when you an' me used to go possum an' coon huntin', an' den atterwhile, when I take de cbillens—an', Lord, sich times as we had! An' now dey'a all married an' gone, sah, but ole Eph, he jes' have to take to de woods once a year an' kind de ole times, sah. l'ze pow'ful sorry to discommode you, Marse Phil, but I tol' bosses, sah, an' I jes' has to go, Mame The colonel had turned and was look- ing out of the window. He did not speak at once. From the distant cabins came the plaintive echo of a lullaby sung by a black mammy to a curly headed picks - ninny. The gold of evening was melt- ing into the purple glow of twilight, and the air was balmy and sweet. To the colonel there came the memory of days, long ago, when he had seen and felt all this so keenly, when the young blood coursed through his -veins warm- ed by the fire of youth and when all na- ture seemed but to be speaking words of welcome, inviting him to come forth and revel in its beauties. "Well, Eph," he finally said, "I have one request to make of you. When you feel like running away again, I want you to tell me, and I'll go with you." "You go, Morse Phil, sho' nuff? All right, salt. 1'11 tell you, sah." The colonel turned and took up his paper. "Don't forget," he commanded. "I shall expect you to tell me." And the interview was ended. There were wild rumors afloat among the negroes as to the punishment Uncle Eph was to receive for running away, but Uncle Ilph himself maintained a dignified silence. He sedately drove the colonel and his wife to church and through the country lanes to the houses where they attended the big dinners and teas. The subject was never again mentioned by the two old playmates. The year passed by and Indian sum- mer again threw her shimmering blue mantle over the distant mountains, and the leaves became golden and red and brown. One night the colonel sat late at his study table. He was writing to his lawyer. He was tired, and somehow it seemed a task to him tonight. Sud- denly he heard soft footsteps in the hall. Who could it be? His wife had re- tired and Rob, the only son at home, had gone with his young wife to a country ball and would not be home for hours. The door was gently pushed open, and there appeared the woolly head and ebony face of Uncle Eph. "I'ze ready, sah," he said in a sepul- chral whisper. "Ready?' inquired the colonel in amazement. For a moment he had for- gotten the compact of a year ago, but only for a moment. He pushed aside the tedious letter and looked up at Eph expectantly. "Yes, we's ready, sah," said Eph again. "It's a mighty fine night, sah. I'ze got de guns, sah, an' some meal an' coffee an' bacon, an' I lay we ken be a right smaht ways off by mawnin' if we step lively, Marse rhil." "Yes," said the colonel, and he step- ped out on the veranda. How beauti- ful everything looked in the moonlight! The balmy October air of the south was like a caress. The woods seemed to beckon them. Philip Randolph, the boy, could not withstand the tempta- tion. Grasping his hat, he looked at Eph, as he had done years before, when he waited for him to tell him when to shoot. Eph looked back at him, picked up a sack that was lying mi the steps, then took up the guns. "De Parker woods is mighty 'ficin'. sah," he said. "Yes," repeated the colonel and fol- lowed him down the avenue. A few moments later and their figures were lost to view in the dense shade of the woods. Both the colonel and Eph had run away.—New York Times. A Cat as a Retriever. A very high idea of human patience is given by the account of a correspond- ent of Forest and Stream, who has, he says, tamed a common cat to retrieve. Patience, gentleness, entire absence of force, were his maxims. Whenever game had been killed the cat was led to it, and the game was gi'ven to him. Next the cat sought the game on his own account. Next he was taught to stay close to his master. at first perched on his shoulder. Ile was then taught not to fear the sound of the gun, beginning with a little car- ' bine, then proceeding to the fowling piece. When the gun was fired, a cow - mon ball was pitched forward by the I master, and the connection between , the report of the piece and retrieving was established. Then a dead bird was substituted for the ball, and it was at first thrown from the hand and after- ward dropped from the branch of a distant tree. The education of this particular cat is now complete. He re- trieves perfectly, points sometimes and in general conducts himself like a bunt- ing dog. The biologists deny the inheritance of acquired characteristics. If it welle not for their doctrine, this learned animal might become the progenitor of a long line of useful hunting cats. As it is, lie stands as a living monument to human patience and as a proof that even the cat may be educated. Skunks of the Genus Chinea. The skunk first appears in history in the year 16.36, when he was described in Theodat's "History of Canada." He had been a long time on the earth be- fore that time, however, for there are species of fossil skunks. The skunks of the genus Chinca range over the great- er part of North America and as far south as Mexico. Other skunks are found in Central and South America. They live fn burrows either of other animals or made by themselves. Their habits are chiefly nocturnal, and they hibernate only in the severest part of' the winter. Their food consists of small animals, of insects and birds' eggs. Grasshoppers are eaten by hun- dreds. They have been trapped for their fur for many years. The young are born in litters of four to ten. The adults occasionally rob the poultry yard, but such depreda- tions as they commit are more than off- set by their destruction of noxious ant- ' male and insects, especially the white grub, the pest of lawns and meadows. They are easily trapped in box traps and can be killed by putting them, trap and all, in a trough of water. Widespread Ignorance About Clocks There is a good deal of popular ig- norance on the subject of managing watches and clocks. Many people manage never to have the right time and expend a good deal of money on repairs of their timepieces that could be saved by rudimentary instruction. Pendulum clocks are especially liable to give much trouble to the careless or the ignorant, or to those who will not take the trouble to learn how to use them properly. There are many costly pendulum clocks that never tell the time, because the owners have given them up in despair, although there may be nothing the matter with the clocks except that they are not level or that the delicate pendulum has got dis- arranged by some ignorant twist. Discovery of Coal In Wales. During the reign of Henry VIII. many attempts were made to discover coal in north Wales, and a Shrewsbury man, named Richard Gardner, was the only person who succeeded. The old records read: "He attemptyd and put into proofe to fynde out coles about the town (Shrewsbury) in soondry placys, and in one place especial' callyd Ema- tine Haye, hard by the sayd towne, he found by him great dyligence and troball great store of see cole, the which is to the riche and poore, that he is not only worthy of commendacon and mayntenance, but also to be had in re- membrance for ever."—Cardiff West- ern Mall. Learning the Game. When that great plainsman J. 13. Hickok, better known as "Wild Bill," came east on what he called a "redhot trail to learn something," he stopped one Saturday night at a hotel in Port- land, Me. When he went to his room to seek rest, he found that the adjoining room was occupied by a company of fashion- able and rich young sports of Portland who, it did not take him long to dis- cover, were playing an interesting game of poker for high stakes. In vain did he try to sleep. He could not do so, and after an hour arose, dressed himself and knocked on the door. Instantly all was silent; but he In- quired politely that as they would not let him sleep would they let him come in and watch the game? They did so and were impressed with the appearance of the man and asked if he would join them. "I will if you will post me; but, you know, I'm a tenderfoot east," he re - They were willing to "post" him, and, playing awkwardly, making blun- ders and asking questions, but seem- ingly greatly interested, he contiuued to play until daylight, when he put his winnings, some $1,500, in his pocket. "I thank you, gentlemen," he said, "and I'm rather glad you would not let me sleep. I'll be here until tonlorrOW, so keep me awake some more." But the players did not appear again. —Detroit Free Press, Borrowing Habits of Poets. On Tennyson's habit of failing to recognize clearly his own borrowings from the classical poets, Mr. Lang ob- serves that the poets have always had a kind of regal indifference to their own lighter productions. Mr. Lang says: "Scott did not care; no, not when he found that he had unwittingly taken a line from a poem by the valet of a friend. In the preface to a little col- lection of verses from the novels he frankly declares that be cannot pretend to be certain which are of his own com- position and which are not. "To take an example from the level at the foot of Parnassus, I once read, in an American paper, some lines at- tributed to Mr. Austin Dobson. 'Not bad for Dobson,' I said freely to a friend. But it was proved on me that the rhymes were my own! bard who forgets his own verses may be par- doned for remembering those of other people and mistaking a half line of somebody else's for his own. I dare say that Tennyson did this occasion- ally, but he could hardly say that 'the sun sets' without being accused of un- conscious borrowing." Greek and Roman Stoves. Warm as Greece and Rotne and Egypt are, stoves were made there in the dim and misty vistas of the past. It was not just the pattern used at present, but was a metal basin in which charcoal was burned. It sat in the middle of the room. and as the re- sulting smoke was of the slightest no opening 'in the roof or elsewhere was necessary. The same implement, still called by its old Greek name of bra- zier, is now employed in many portions of continental Europe. where it Is util- ized for heating as well as eooking. But the progressive Romans im- proved on that and made a hypocaust. It was the germ of the present fur- nace. It was made under the house in a little cellar prepared for it. and the heat was tonducted to the rooms and baths through crevices left in the floor add lower portions of the wall. Later flues were provided. conducting heat to any portion of the house. In some of the old Roman villas In England the remains of these old time furnaces are still found. Origin of the Clearing Rouse. In 1775 the bankers of London rented a house In Lombard street and fitted It with tables and desks for the use of their clerks as a place where bills. notes, drafts and other connnercial pa- per tnight be exchanged without the trouble of personal visits of employees to all the metropolitan banks. Trans- fer tickets were used, and by means of this simple plan transactions involving many millions were settled without a penny changing hands. The Bank of England and every other important bank in London are members of the Clearing House association. The first clearing house in the United States was established by the associated banks of New York in 1853. Her References. Mrs. Hiram—And have you any ref- erences?

ALL THAT IS NEWEST INITOWELS FOR BEDROOM, BATH AND KITCHEN. The to Date Towel Is Big and Quick Drying Iluckabaek Super- sede. Dasaask—Rriction Towels and Straps—Wash Cloths. The big towel, and the towel that dries quickest, is the one most in favor by the modern, up to date housekeeper. Not so very long ago the damask towel headed the list for favor. Now the lauckaback towel is the fashion and the favored. It is the everyday towel most LATEST STYLES IN TOWEIa ENDS. In demand, and it has practically taken the place of damask as the best towel—. the towel for first choice. It wears better, it dries quicker and as it can now be bought it is certainly most at - The huckaback towels for very best use come twenty-seven inches wide. The huckaback towel, which has su- perseded the towel of damask with fringed encli, is now fine in quality, hemstitched and lace bordered. One of the finest of the new hucka- back towels Is finished with a broad band of Renaissance insertion framed In hemstitching, and below it is anoth- er row of hemstitching. The huckaback is in a fancy weave, and the towel is made in France. Towels of this sort, only with a deep lace edge instead of the insertion, are considered equally good style. Towels with a scalloped edge are also much in vogue at present, and when the scalloped edge has above it two rows of hemstitehing the towel is ex- tremely attractive. A novel towel recently introduced for best use is a combination of imcka- back and damask. A medallion of damask forms the center, and a dam- ask design is used as the border. Nowadays the pure white towel is considered the 'lest style. Towels with colored borders are no longer chosen by fashionable persons. This does not mean that the colored bordered towel is out of fashion. It is simply not the towel for very best use. For day in and day out use the most satisfactory towel is a good quality of huckaback with hemstitched ends. For the bath the friction towel is the rival of the Turkish towel, and the friction strap is the newest of all. It is made of linen tape. crocheted to form a strap. Both the friction strap and towel wear much better than Turkish toweling. and from a hygienic point of view are excellent. Gloves of this satne croeheted linen tape are also a useful bathroom requisite. In wash cloths there is almost as great a variety as in towels. There are wash cloths sold to match the best towels. They have the same lace or scalloped edge, the same hemstitching and the same embroidered letter or let- ters, only. of course, correspondingly Knitted wash cloths are much liked. Every well equipped bathroom has a supply of wash cloths of white Tnrkish toweling. The friction towels, too, are now sold with wash cloths to match.

Smooth, thick feathers lying close to the body; a long, slender shape, feet that are smooth and of a rosy, trans- parent hue, with the veins in the nails a bright red, are all requisite points. An idea of a bird's strength and vital- ity ean be gained by noting how he hops from one perch to the other. A bird that is copatkmptive and weak springs lightly/and n well bird shows Vigor. There is all the difference in the world in the notes of canaries, and every one has his or her own prefer- ences. To judge well of a singer one should hear it a number of times.

Forerunners of the New Headgear. Light and Shaggy Felts. From the milliners come the first trustworthy news of what the winter headgear is to be and also something of what gowns and wraps are to be like, allowing, of course, for future possibilities in later developments. Shaggy materials are the smart nov- elties for hatmaking, and these are as light as the feather blown by the wind. White and black combinations as well as all white remain the keynote .to winter modishness, and it is especially attractive in these new fabrics. We are also to enter upon a season of felt hats, but no longer smooth of surface, but shaggy also and long haired. Another variety, extremely smart, by the way, has a soft woolliness of finish, which one may be sure is the correct thing to select, and decidedly chic is it. In regard to shape the low, broad lines are continued. Broad toques and low hats with brims are still to remain in favor, which is good news, as they have proved so very becoming and the manner of wearing them has been brought by practice to perfection. The next point of interest is to learn with what hats are to be trimmed, and no one will regret to hear that feathers are still in vogue, but instead of the present manner of posing them feathers go very decidedly to the back of the hat rather than frontward. Birds are to be also very modish, but let us hope they will be of artificial construction; parrots are atnong the number. Crowns entirely of feathers are new, as are hats made wholly of feathers, both of which models were thought chic last winter, partly be- cause they were then rather uncom- For dressy hats we are to count on the whole hat being made of Irish lace - The Snssian'Climate.

Running Water and Rough Hands. The season of chapped hands is not far away, and it is therefore titnely tc suggest that the discomforts arising from this source can be almost entirely avoided. All tbat is needed is that the hands should be thoroughly rinsed in running water after they have beeu washed with soap. The hands, indeed, should never be washed in still water. This practice, so common as to be al most universal, is chiefly responsible for the roughening of the hands and fez producing the uncomfortable so called cha.pped condition of these useful mem- bers, a condition directly resultant from the alkali remaining in the water from the soap.

To hold membership -in number of societies is regarded as badge of honor. Meetings are held monthly in privet residences, in public halls or, more fr quently still, in churches. These gath eri.igs begin at the fashionable hou of 10 p. m. and continue not infr quently throughout the night. R freshments are to be bad for a sma consideration, and as these are for th most' part of a liquid nature the son and daughters are prone to be con epicuous by their absence from thei several places of employment nex morning. Often tbe police have to in terfere to restore that harmony 1 whicli-brothers and sisters should�v dwell together. Among the societies in Charlesto are the Sous and Daughters of the Pil grims, the Sons and Daughters of th Twelve Disciples, the Sons and Daugh tors of the Bearer of the Cross, the Sons and Daughters of the Evening Star, the Sons and Daughters of the Seventh Star, the Sons and Daughters of the Celestial ',Travelers. the Sons and Daughters of the Good Samaritan, the Sons and Daughters of the East, the Sons and Daughters of Lazarus, the Sons acid Daughters of Christian Love, and there might be added to Mese fully twosc•ore of others. The devotion or the negroes to these or- ganizations and their loyalty to_ their fellow I?trinbcrs are absolute. The funeral of a colored man or woman who holds membership in a half dozen of these orders is a specta- cle worth witnessing. Occasionally bitter feuds arise between rival so- cieties for the possession of a corpse, for the negro' love of a funeral is not second even to his love of melons. The ceremonies usually begin the night be - tore the actual interment 1s to take place. There are sermons, prayers and personal experiences interspaced with wild bursts of incoherent melody, which arouses religious fervor to fever height. Men and women faint in the course of the exercises, many others fall into trances and talk of visions of their dead friends enthroned in glory. The ceremonies 'culminate in a form- al procession. It is forming for an hour before the residence of the late lamented son or daughter. Negroes from the uttermost parts of the city gather in the streets. The occasion is a festive one. They run and shout and caper. The members of the organiza- tions to which the dead person belong- ed stand in solemn order, clad in elab- orate uniforms and bearing the ban- ners and other insignia of their re- spective orders, and when the cortege finally moves, wending its way at times through miles of the city's streets. it is followed by a mad rush of men, women and children. who block the thoroughfares, and traffic for the time being has- to be suspended. The hope of such a funeral is the In- spiration of many a negro's whole life. He slaves and deprives himself of actual necessities for years to meet the demands of the collectors of the societies in order that he may go to bis last resting place in the midst of such strangely weird pageantry.— Cbarieston Letter in New York Trib- une. ons me- ow mp p11- ner ble of ded tial at- a ing al bo- Bo- al. ity, ess es nd ce, or- ers In ere rk- is cal it., ss th at y. ge ty ed, d. l- it Is re Us e d, e e a a e e - r e- e - 11 e s r t n er n e Abandoned Cisterns.

ANTHONY TROLLOPE, (lisrvites and Irritations Incident Upon His Start In Life. Anthony Trollope's start in life was lnpromising. As he knew no lan- guages, ancient or modern, he became classical usher at a school in Brussels, with the promise of a commission in the Austrian army. Thea he was sud- denly transferred to a clerkship in the London postoffice. He was disqualified for the new position by general igno- rance and special incapacity for the simplest arithmetic. A vague threat that he must pass an examination was forgotten before it was put into execu- tion, and Trollope characteristically takes occasion_ to denounce the system of competitive examination by which he would have been excluded. Mean- while he was turned loose in London and attempted to live like a gentleman on £90 a year. The results are indicat- ed by a couple of anecdotes. A money' lender once advanced him £4, for which, first and last, he paid £200. This person, he says, became so much attached to him as to pay a daily visit to his office and exhort him to be punctual. "These visits were very ter- rible and can hardly have been of serv- ice to me in the office." This mild re- mark applies also to the visits from the mother of a young woman in the coun- try who had fallen in love with him and to whom he "lacked the pluck to give a decided negative." The mother used to appear with a basket on her arm.and an immense bonnet upon her head and inquire in a loud voice be- fore all his companions, "Anthony Trollope, when are you going to marry my daughter?" No wonder that he was miserable. He was hopelessly in debt and often unable to pay for a dinner. He hated his work, he says, and he hated his idleness; he quarreled with his supe- riors, who thought him hopelessly in- capable and felt that he was sinking "to the lowest pits." At last he heard of a place in the Irish postoffice which everybody despised and was successful on applying for it, because his masters were glad to get rid of him. At the same time they informed his new supe- rior that he would probably have to be dismissed on the first opportunity.— National Review. IN THE CAR KITCHEN SNUG MANNER IN WHICH EATABLES ARE STOWED AWAY. Methods by Whteh Stores are its. plenished Which Give Ont En Route—The Room For the Waiters. The Cooks and Their Work. The actual standing room in the car kitchen consists of an aisle only wide enough for two men to pass each other and about fifteen feet long. On one side is an unbroken row of ranges, the very best sort invented, for when men do women's work they are not content with makeshift tools. On the other side is a steam table for keeping things hot, other tables and some of the re- frigerators, for there are many. Hot water and cold is held- in cylinders which lie along the ceiling and look like the projectiles used on torpedo boats. One refrigerator is devoted exclusive- ly to fish, which lie shining on blocks of clear ice as tempting as in any fish market. Until I had actually seen this refrigerator it had been my practice to refuse fish in traveling, feeling there was some mystery about its preserva- tion, but now—indeed, no such thing. I had fancied the whole menu cooked at once in enormous quantities, like a sol- diers' mess at camp, and my fastidious car appetite had revolted and faded away during the first course, but now I eat with relish, knowing the condi- tion of the source of supply. Another refrigerator is entirely for meats and game, another for fruit, and even bread and cake are kept in a re- frigerator that they retain their mois- ture. Outside the kitchen there is a sacred icebox under lock and key, and no man may put his hand therein ex- cept the steward or housekeeper of the dining car. There twenty-five kinds of wine are kept, and there will be shown to you, with a manner awed but proud, the royal family of champagne with cool, gold crowned beads sitting on an icy throne. But, to go back to the kitchen, that apartment is occupied by three men ail in white, with perhaps a blue cor- on for tradition's sake, who serve eftly and capably the hiveful of wait- rs that swarm at the open square at he inner end of the room. It is a Ise provision that prevents close con - acts, for cooks are apt to be "redhot" t the crucial hour of dinner serving, nd, besides, the car kitchen can con- ain no more men than the three cooks, ho broil, roast, stew and _fry the umberless fancies of the patrons' pal- ates. These men work hard. The head cook, whose salary is about $70 er month, stands farthest from the window where the waiters clamor and a bit more serious. The middle ook, on $45 salary, is lively or sub- issive according to the man he ad- resses, and the end cook finds time chaff the owners of the dark faces ho call orders, and sometimes he ngs as happily as a conceited boy ho fancies his future on the operatic age. These three men make up the white pped trio we see peering out of the indows of the dining car as it slips to the station. All the other em- oyees of the train come into contact ith passengers and have interesting periences, but these are confined in e galley and are eager forscant impses at the station. Sometimes e car has a little balcony at the end, here they can escape the heat of err quarters, a needed relief in sum- er time. The waiters have a pantry adjoining e kitchen and opening into it only the little square window with a unter on either side. When your or - r is given and the waiter disappears, is is where he' bas gone. Here are pt supplies of dishes and silver. and re it is the waiter makes up the shes of cakes. fruit and cheese you 11 for with which to tie up the ends your appetite.

Infnsorial Earth. In the whole catalogue of "chemi- cals, minerals and rare elements," the prices of which are quoted every week by trade journals, perhaps no name is more puzzling to the uninitiated than "infusorial earth." Still, if one knows much about dynamite he is aware that this is the stuff employed as an ab- sorbent to hold the nitroglycerin of that famous explosive. It was Nobel, the great Swedish engineer, who founded a number of attractive prizes to encourage scientific progress, who first discovered the trick by which nitroglycerin could be safely handled. Infusorial earth is composed of the silicious shells of minute vegetable organisms, diatoms which reveal won- derfully complicated and beautiful structures under the microscope.—New York Tribune. It Reached Him. A letter was received at the postoffice in Washington directed to the biggest fool in that city.

"Why," replied the clerk, "I didn't know who the biggest fool in Wash- ington was, so I opened it myself." "And what did you find in it?" in- quired the postmaster. "Find?" replied the clerk.

Comet Boni de Castellnne's First Af- Ltir Upon the Field of Honor. Count Boni de Castelltine's first duel was when he had just coiu; from school. Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and handle a sword, but he was still very young, very bashful, rather green. At the club to which he had just been ad- mitted some of the men, whom life made cynical, began to guy him. It was easy to stir up his anger, for they chattered scandal about a woman he knew. He pulled over the table and struck one of the men. The next day he received a challenge. in good faith he selected two good clubmen as his seconds. In all this the club fellows saw only a joke, and when the ar- rangements were hurried and the two opponents stood face to face in a mead- ow near the Seine the pistols were loaded—with blackened bread crumbs. "One, two, three!" They fired to- gether. The clubman gave a great cry and fell to the ground groaning. "He's fatally wounded—dying!" the seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh- ter. De Castellane felt the heart in hien run away like water. He had killed a man. It was not possible! "Dead?" he asked, anxiously. "Yes," said the corpse and sat up grinning. The schoolboy looked at the laughing clubmen and saw the joke they had played on him. He stooped.and caught the corpse by the ankle, dragged it a bit and with a sudden jerk tossed it ten feet ludo the river. "Then I'll bury it," said he. As the clubman crawled from the river, dripping mud and water, they de- cided the joke was on him.—Saturday Evening Post. THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES. One of the Ancient Seven Wonders t of the World. e The ancients succeeded in making that alloy of copper which is known as bronze. Among the seven wonders of the world was the famous statue, whol- ly made of bronze, historically known as the colossus of Rhodes. It repre- sented Phoebus, the national deity of the Rhodians. It was begun by Chares, a pupil of Lysippus, the sculptor, and was completed by Laches 288 B. C. The popular belief is that it stood astride the harbor of Rhodes, that it was 105 feet high and that ships could easily sail between its legs. Pliny said that few men could clasp its thumb. It was cast on metal plates, afterward joined together, and this process occupied twelve years. In the interior was a spiral staircase reach- ing into its bead, and in a great mirror suspended to its neck were reflected the coast of Syria and the ships sailing to Egypt. After it bad stood for sixty-four years this colossus was overthrown by an earthquake, and its remains lay on the shore for 923 years—that is, until A. D. 672—wben they were sold by the Saracens to a Hebrew 'dealer. The original cost was 300 talents—say, $6,- 000,000—and it Is not too much to say that a similar image might be con- structed now in one-fourth of the time and at one-third of the original cost. Rhodes, by the way, must have had colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates that the port was adorned with 1,000 colossal statues of the sun. Grain Moved In Streams. Nowhere in North America will you Come on a more thrilling night scene than the fresh water cargo tank un- loading at Buffalo, says Rollin Lynde Hartt in The Atlantic. Here she lies beneath the towering grain elevator, which thrusts a long pumping pipe (called the "leg") down through her hatchway. Mount the gangplank, dodging the spinning ropes that make your head reel, stumble about on the dark deck, look down, down, down through the open hatch, and, zounds, what a sight! The hold glows with electricity. It is misty with blown dust. It roars with mechanical actio• ity. An enormous steel "shovel," big as the Inside of a house and manipulated by countless flying ropes, charges back and forth through the whole length of the ship, pitching the yellow grain be- fore it and heaping it up where the leg can get hold of it to whisk it into the bin that is somewhere up in the sky. Beneath, in the hold, an army of blue clad men with wooden "scoops" barely dodge the deadly shovel as they swing the grain into its path. Men'a "It might seem," said a trunk and bag manufacturer, "that a man's hat- box was just a hatbox; but, as a mat- ter of fact, men's hatboxes are made in very considerable variety. They are oval and square and oblong as to form, of sole leather, or harness leather and of enameled leather as to material and of various capacities, from boxes de- signed for one hat to boxes for four hats. And there are made in the oval shape boxes with a removable center section in which, according as that sec- tion is taken out or left in, can be car- ried one hat or three. "And some hatboxes have a tray for collars and cuffs, and so on, and in some the hat bowls are removable, so hat upon occasion the box can be turn - d into a good sized plain case that can be used for any purpose whatever."— New York Sun.

It is a familiar boast of English peo- ple that we are above all others a washing nation. Soap and water is a standing dish in Great Britain, but so the were we disposed to credit habitual cleanliness of foreigners that 1 piece of soap In the valise was till re- cently the habitual companion of an Englishman on his travels. All kinds of theories have been raised to account for this national tendency to ablution, and most diverse qualities have been attributed to its possession. The familiarity of islanders with wa- ter and the use of it occasioned by the national custom that led the ancient Britons to paint their bodies are sol- emnly urged as the foundation of the English proneness to washing, and the fresh complexions and smooth skins of young Englishmen are held to replace the more dusky and hirsute counte- nances of the Latin races because of their closer and more frequent ac- quaintance with the articles of the washstand. It is quite obvious that even in Eng- land there are people who wash too little. It is not so generally recognized that some people wash too much. The skin is not well adapted to frequent applications of water accompanied by even the least irritating of soaps. A tendency arises to maceration of the superficial part of the epidermis, which is too frequently removed and occa- sions probably :too rapid a proliferation of the cells of the Malpighian layer. There is no doubt that many cases of roughness of the skin of the face come from the frequent applications of wa- ter. It is a good thing to rub the face with a soft, clean, dry towel two or three times a day. If, in addition, wa- ter is used in the morning and at night, the skin will be kept in a sounder, smoother and healthier state than if, as is often the case, soap and water are used three or four times a day. Men are not often offenders in this respect, most men sparing little time for the refinements of the toilet. Wom- en and children, whose skins are the most easily affected by superfluous ab- lution, are the very persons in whom such excess Is too common. They should be taught that there are dry methods of cleanliness as well as wet ones.—Lancet- PADEREWSKI GOT $20. But It Cost Him That to Get His Clothe. Out of Pawn. Paderewski's first really important .engagement as a pianist was in Paris long after the death of his beloved wife. He was engaged to play in the drawing room of a lady famous for her musicales, and his fee, which seem- ed to him enormous, was $20. He man- aged to persuade the humane agent to pay him in advance, and when Pade- rewskl had redeemed his dress suit from pawn and paid for shoes, gloves, tie and other essentials he had no monk ey left for cab hire, so he was forced to walk to the scene of his engagement. The music loving audience inspired him. He played with feeling, passion and mastery of his instrument as nev- er before. His success was instant and unmistakable. The poor player had suddenly become the lion of the hour, his dream bad become a reality, and fame and fortune were assured him. At last, after disengaging himself from bis admirers, he turned to leave, when his hostess, remembering with regret the smallness of the fee for so marvelous a performance, offered him her carriage for his return home. But Paderewski's pride came to the rescue. In his courteous yet reserved way he made a formal bow, and saying, "No, thank you, madame; my own is wait- ing," be stepped out for his long walk homeward.—Pearson's Weekly. A Living Emetic.

Happy Thought of a Man Ip a Fix. An operator for a western railroad who had served his company long and web was called into the office one day and asked if he thought he could hold down the job of night dispatcher. He promptly replied that he could and was told to report for duty that night, and his chief instructed him in what he was to do. Just after the chief left the office it began to blow and snow, and the trains commenced to run late. The new night dispatcher soon had develop- ed a bad case of "rattles" and almost cried. He did not want an accident, and he could not handle the trains. So a happy thought struck him. As fast as a report came in he replied, directing the conductor to take a siding and wait for orders, and it was not a great while until he had every train on the division sidetracked. Then he took a book, lighted his pipe and sat down to wait for daylight. In the morning the chief appeared with anxiety written all over his face. "Any accidents, Johnny?" asked the chief. "Not an accident. I've got 'em all on the sidetrack, snowed in and wait- ing for orders, and you will have to get 'em out. I am going to blow this job." It took the chief and his force nearly all day to get the trains straight- ened out and traffic resumed on the road.—Indianapolis News. False Tails For Horses. False tails are extensively made for horses, old favorites especially, whose caudal appendages present a wornout and moth eathen appearance, like Pe= truchio's "old mothy saddle," and his prodigiously mothy get up ("Taming of the Shrew," iii, 2). They are also worn by funeral horses, and by other horses of exquisite outline selected for a par- ticular kind of work, but which are somewhat spoiled in appearance by the possession of a rat tail (bald, like a rat's). These useful appliances, how- ever, are not constructed exclusively for harness horses. I have seen rows of bogus tails, artistically joined on to the crufsper, banging up in a cavalry barracks ready for instant service, be- ing slipped on just like a finger stall. The "fine ` ends" or false tails used by nobody but "horse copers" or low swindlers are most ingeniously fastened on the animal's bare back by invisible means. A dealer in horses never looks at a horse with a bad tail, and he al- ways goes to the best market only.— Chambers' Journal - Robin■ Play at Being Dead. One morning a well known naturalist was greatly surprised to see a robin lying on his back evidently dead, being rapidly pulled round and round by an- other bird of the same species. The naturalist at once came to the conclusion that he had come in time to witness the end of a deadly en- counter, and that the live robin was indulging in the cruel triumph of drag- ging his victim's lifeless body over the stones. But he was mistaken, for suddenly the live bird went down upon bis back, his wings and legs were stiffened, and he gave every appearspce of being dead, while the other ronin who had been shamming death hopped ou his legs and proceeded to serve his com- panion in the same way as he had done him.

The Minneapolis Journal sums up the gubernatorial situation as fellows: The custom of renominating agovernor, which has only once been broken. will operate in Van Sant's favor, and will nullify much opposition. Many who would prefer other candidates will stand by Van Sant. "because he is entitled to it." It will be hard to make a fight against Van Sant. Does The Journal refer to Stephen Miller, C. K. Davis, or A. R. McGill? Neither of these governors received the customary renomination to which it so complacently calls attention. Tuesday's elections were quite pronouuced for an of year. Iowa is reported republican by one hundred thousand, Massachusetts by seventy thousand, Nebraska by five thousand, New Jersey by fourteen thousand, Ohio by eighty thousand, Pennsylva- nia by seventy thousand, and Rhode Island by three thousand. Maryland is considered very close. Kentucky and Mississippi of course went demo- cratic. The Tammany ticket in New York was defeated by upwards of thirty thousand.

The Washburn -Crosby Company of Minneapolis lost ninety-six cars of flour in the burning of a railroad warehouse at Manitowoc on Sunday. The entire loss was $125,000, fully covered by insurance. It will be an easy matter for Gov. VanSant to have his tax commission delay their report until too late for an extra session, provided he con - ,siders it not to his interest to have one.

The Railroad Situation. The activity displayed by surveyors in Goodhue County this summer has raised all sorts of rumors of new lines and extensions of old lines, but railroad men here do not take much stock in any of them. It is the opin- ion of several prominent railroaders here that these surveys are made as a basis for estimating value of existing lines with a view of purchasing. The survey from Zumbrota to Roches- ter paralleling the Northwestern is pointed out as a fair sample. It is not at all likely that such a line will be built. but the Great Western needs a line between the two places, and, if it finds from the surveys that it can buy this branch from the Northwest- ern at a lower price than it can build one, it is going to buy. It seems to he conceded that the recent trip over the Great Western system by Vander- bilt's party was for the purpose of considering purchase. If the sale is made the Great Western will not he making any further extensions in this vicinity, as it will work in harmony with the Northwestern.—Red Wing Republican. The many friends of Mrs. Sovereign Hansen will regret to hear of her death, which occurred at Hinckley, Oct. 27th.

Mrs. Hansen had been en- joying her usual health up tosix days before her death, when she was strick- en with an acute attack of pneumonia.

Many congratulations were extended by a large circle of friends. known that the finest pearls in the world come from' the bed of the Mississippi River. Up to thirteen years ago the fact that pearls existed in the clams that are so plentiful in the great Father of Waters was un- known, and the only use to which the clam was put to was to bait the hook of some zealous fisherman. But since the discovery of some fine pearls in the river even the careless fisher lad never opens a clam for bait without feeling for the beautiful gem that may bring him a modest fortune. The favor with which pearls are be- ing regarded is rapidly growing, and especially across the water the pearl is fast becoming the most popular gem. In France no jewels but pearls are worn by the young girls, and every one who can afford it wears at least one of them. For many years none but the perfect gems were ap- preciated; but since the exhibition of the tnounted irregular ones at the Paris exposition they have been grow- ing in fayor, and now there is quite a demand for the irregular gems. This season's output of pearls from the Mississippi has been the largest in the history of the industry. More than five thousand pearls have been found, representing over $100,000 in value. The principal clam beds are along the Wisconsin shore of the river, and the industry there has been quite flourishing. Some splendid gems have been found. There were several that sold for $1,000 each, three at $1,5Q0, and one at $1,800. These pearls exceed the beauty of, the Oriental pearls, and make a creditable addition to the precious jewels of the world. It will be several years before the clam beds will he exhausted in the Mississippi. .As soon as one bed is exhausted another is discovered, and, so far, plenty of opportunities have been offered to those who desired to undertake this eventful life. An at- tempt was made to cultivate clams, but it was not successful, and the only thing to do is to search for the beds that are already in existence. The season will not close until the river freezes over. Even then some of the _fishers will draw the clams through the thin ice, but this is slow work and unprofitable business — St. Paul Globe.

If he had left the fruit a few hours long- er it would have been buried under by the blizzard and slightly frosted. As it was, a few berries which were not quite ripe Saturday will have to remain on the vines until spring. This wasn't Mr. Tyler's first crop of berries this year. He picked a fine lot of fruit at the usual time. But his plants are of the kind that have twins. A second crop is nothing un- usual, but as a rule comes earlier in the season. This year cool weather early and warm weather all through October resulted in a strawberry crop in November. Several boxes of the fruit were picked Saturday, one of which was brought in for the editor. That would have been a great adver- tisement for Minnesota as the banana belt of the world, but unluckily it was spoiled by the blizzard that set- tled down on the city Saturday night, and from which the city woke up Sunday morning to find itself in the midst of winter.—Red Wing Republi- can.

Alison brought her ha together with a movement of e tempt, as though she were crushin heart between them. "What ab that?" "Oh, nothing," I replied quietly. She seemed to be annoyed been I was not annoyed. "Why shouldn't I flirt if I want t she inquired again. "Oh, why not, indeed, my dear lad I returned, and then, bowing low added, "I am everlastingly at yo service." "Y—you? Oh, I couldn't flirt w you." "Why not? If I am deficient in tellectual capacity—I accept your d tum that the pursuit sharpens the tellec—you see, it might benefit me you were to make use of me." She looked at,me with a frank sni so charming that—well, it made angry to think that she should 8 with any one else. "It isn't that," she remarked brigi ly. "The fact is I don't like the hen breaking part of the business. To e joy flirting thoroughly the person o flirts with must be devoid of heart" "Well?" I asked. She shrugged her shoulders. "Inn afraid I shouldn't enjoy it wi you." "Because I have a heart?" "That, I should imagine, is the infe ence," she remarked superciliously. I nodded. "And is there the further inferen that you have—er—no heart?" I aske "Oh, not necesarily; because"— Sh paused and then went on: "It's Ilk this, you see: In a flirtation the w man, as a rule, is the initiator, an that being so she is prepared to plac exactly the correct amount of imps tance on anything that is said." "In other words, she says thing which she doesn't mean and listens t things which are also not meant, eh? "That. I fancy, is flirting," she said. I shook my head in disapproval. "It's a bad thing morally," I remark ed. "It tends to pervert one's sens "Sense of fiddlesticks!" she cried "Really, Hector, I am surprised t hear you. A good flirtation is"— "Like imitation diamonds," I inter rupted. "But"—she fixed her eyes on me— "but if one doesn't want to run the risl of losing the real"— now you are carrying the sinel too far," I said. In lovemaking"— Her face assusned an expression of utter disinterestedness. "You are oeyoud me now, Hector" "In the interests of the public, flirt- ing might to be sternly suppressed," I said. She laughed airily. "That's because you love one wo- man, my dear boy." She waited to see whether I would contradict her and then went on, "One cannot expect a man who is in love to tolerate the flirt- ing propensity in the woman he loves." I stared hard at her. Her words just allowed of an interpretation other than the one that I loved her; but I was not at all certain that a dual inter- pretation was in her mind. "You mean?" I asked. "Oh, Hector, how blind you are! I mean that you never did see any one you eared for so much as you care for —me. And I"— o?" air. e's of ur- nds on - g a out use o?" , ur ith In- ic- in- if ile me irt it - rt n- ne th r- ce d. o - She paused, and a flood of tenderness swept over her face. "Yes—and you?" I asked eagerly. "Surely you know," she murmured. "Surely you have seen"— "I haven't seen anything," I inter- rupted hotly, "except that you have kept me hanging around you for months, and—and—you know so well that I love you more dearly than life." A smile flashed across her face and the tenderness vanished. "There now!" she cried. "What did I say? There isn't any fun in flirting with a man of keart. You say what you mean and you mean what you say. You can't call that fun. Besides, it's very embarrassing." I controlled myself with an effort. "I beg you pardon, Alison," I said, with dignity. "I quite agree with you —there's no fun in it, and it's very em- barrassing—for Inc." We stood staring at each other for some moments, she with a smile on her face and I with a scowl on mine. I had been fooled once more. I bore the silence until it threatened to turn my brain. "If you were a man, I would demand an apology," I said stiffly. "If I were a man—but men don't flirt with each other, do they?" I ignored the question. "But seeing that you are a woman"— "Only a woman," she murmured. "I shall accept my dismissal and— and go away." I could have kicked myself for hav- ing said that. "But, Hector"— she began; but I would not allow her to go on. "Oh, no doubt you would like me to remain to be made a fool of again," I said sarcastically; "but unfortunately' I can't. As you say, I have a heart, and"— "We all have," she murmured, and her tone was the same as the one she had before deceived me with. "You needn't begin with that again," I said coldly; "not that you could take' inc in with a remark so obviously tin. true." Her face stiffened slightly. .'Why not call a spade a spade?" shel said. "I am it liar—that is what you mean?" "Something of the Mild," I said, for I was deeply hurt. One who says' things which she doesn't mean Is, take it, a— You will excuse me if I leave the word unsaid." "Oh, yes; but you are quite wrong, you know. All flirts are not liars." "They say things which they don't"— "You don't understand," she inter - nutted. "They say things which they don't mean perhaps, but they may mean them all the same." I shrugged my shoulders. "Please excuse me for being so dense, Alison; but really I don't quite follow you." "No a Well, let us be more personal. Supposing I were to say, 'Dear Hec- tor, I love you.' " "I should immediately tell you that you were saying what was not true." "But, don't you see, you might he wrong?" "Possibly, but"— And then I looked straight at her, and her eyes told me that I was making a bigger fool of myself that she had made of me. Alison!" I cried, and before I knew what I was doing my arms were round her. She freed herself after a time and surveyed me thoughtfully. "Will you really marry a flirt?" she asked. I laughed joyously, for my views re- garding some things had changed. "Of course. I must, in the interests of the public. It isn't safe to leave any one so bewitching as you are free to play with men's hearts." "So you will sacrifice yourself? How noble of you! But"— She paused. "What difference will marriage make? Once a flirt always a flirt, you know." "I shall take jolly good care that you don't flirt," I said. "And I defy you to prevent me. Why should a woman not flirt?" "Because the habit Is degrading to her sex," I said. "It is very unlike a gentleman to in- terrupt, Hector. I was going to say— why should a woman not flirt with the man she loves—the only man she has ever flirted with?" "Oh, if I am to have the exclusive rights," I said. "You have had them all along," she returned. It was, of course, necessary that I should climb down, but I saw no rea- son why I should not do so in a digni- fied manner. "But flirting consists In saying things which one doesn't mean, Ali- son." "But one may mean them all the same," she said softly. "Dear Hector, I love you." And, after all, dignity in my descent was out of the question.—King. Whitefield'. Purified Heart. There weK some interesting love, or, rather, matrimonial, episodes in the life of George Whitefield, the celebrated preacher, who died in 1770. It is not easy to sympathize with him when we read how, when he was in America, he applied to two of his friends, a Mr. and Mrs. D., to give him their daughter as his wife, at the same time telling them that they need not be afraid of sending him a refusal. "For I bless God," said he, "if I know anything of my own heart, I am free from that foolish passion which the world calls love. I write only because I believe it is the will of God that I should alter my state, but your denial will fully convince me that your daughter is not the person appointed by God for me. But I have sometimes thought Miss E. would be my help- mate, for she has often been impressed upon my heart." He afterward married a Mrs. James, a widow, who Is described as once hav- ing been fashionable and gay, but now a "despised follower of the Lamb." One is, perhaps, not surprised that they did not live happily together, and to find Whitefield smugly writing that her death in 1768 set his mind greatly at rest.—Household Words. Characteristic Differences. One of the striking differences in the characteristics of men and women is that women like new things, while men are loath to part with old things to which they have grown attached. Old pipes, old penknives, old walking sticks —these are the pets of most men, while some even carry their affection for old things to articles of wearing apparel. In the matter of penknives nearly all men are alike. A sign in front of an Arch street cutlery establishment reads, "Old Pocketknives Repaired," and a clerk in the store explained that that branch of the business was quite equal to the sale of slew knives. "About the only people who buy new knives," he said, "are women, who give them to men as presents. A man seldom buys a new knife. Ile brings his old one to be fixed._ As an illustration of this, I know of one man who has been carry- ing the same knife for over twenty years. At various times he has had va- rious things done to it, until now I doubt If any portion of the original knife remains."—Philadelphia Record. Flavor of Roots. The carrot owes its fattening powers to the sugar and its Mixer to a peculiar fatty oil; the horseradish derives its flavor and blistering power from a vol- atile acrid oil. The Jerusalem artichoke contains 14% per cent of sugar and 3 per, cent of inulin (a variety of starch), besides gum and a peculiar substance to which its fifivor is owing. Garlic and the rest of the onion family derive their odor from a yellowish, volatile, acrid oil, but they are nutritious from containing nearly half their weight of glutinous substances not yet clearly de- fined. Hymns at 4500 a Yard. A musical composer once said to Mr. Sankey with more frankness than cour- tesy that he could write such tunes as those of the "Gospel Hymnbook" by the yard if he were willing to come down to it. Mr. Sankey quietly re- plied, "Well, sir, all I have to say is that I am willing to pay five hundred dollars a yard, either to you or to any- body else, for all the tunes you can bring me like those in our 'Gospel Hymnbook.' "—Ladies' Home Journal. Substitute For Sop. There are a few people to whose skins soap seems an irritant. They should use bran. The sons of one of the old kings of Holland were forbid- den the use of soap. They were to use bran and a slice of lemon, the latter to remove inkstains. Napoleon never used soap, but kept his hands beauti- fully white by the use of bran. His First Business Venture. ' An American capitalist who has made a fortune running far Into the millions likes to tell a story of his first business venture and how be saddened the local grocer. At this time he was fond of frequenting a public salesroom near his home where all sorts of bar- gains were offered: One day I noticed several boxes of soap of a certain brand which I had often been sent to buy at the corner grocery. I thought to myself, "That will go cheap," so I ran to the grocery and received a promise from the man in charge to buy as much of the soap at a certain figure as 1 could furnish. Of course he never suspected that I could furnish any of It. I returned to the salesroom, and when the soap was put up I bid it in, and it was knocked down to Inc. My name was demanded, and when I gave it in a shrill voice everybody laughed, for I was then only eleven years of age. Amused as they were at the sale. the bystanders were amazed when I bid in the whole lot of twenty-two boxes. I had them carried over to the grocery and received the price agreed upon. The grocer wore a weary look when he heard how I bad obtained the soap. He said: "Well, I guess I could have done that myself." I replied that I guessed he could, too, but he hadn't. —Youth's Companion. Man Who Named America. Few Americans are aware of the fact that the name of their continent is due to a German scholar. In 1507 Martin Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla- comylus, of St. Die, in the Voses, edited a book called "Cosmographite Introductio," in which he gave a trans- lation of Arnerigo Vespucci's descrip- tion of his voyages. That was just the time when Atneri- go's fame filled the world, while Colum- bus' disgrace overshadowed his merit, and evidently his name had never reached the quiet village iu the Vosges when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that, since the new continent was, after all, not a part of the Indies, no name would suit it better than that of his famous explorer, Amerigo. The book was read far and wide, and so quickly was the proposition accepted that, when later on the true discoverer was known, the name was already rooted too deeply in general use to be abolished, and was even extended to the north part of the continent, while Hylaconsylus had only meant it for the present South America.—National Geographic 'Magazine. Pot, Tired Eyes. Eyes will be greatly strengthened by putting the face down into a glass or eyecup of water the first thing in the morning and opening them under wa- ter. This is somewhat difficult to do at first, but if the water for two or three days be tepid and gradually made colder by imperceptible degrees until it is no shock to put the face into quite cold water it Will soon become quite easy and is very invigorating and re- freshing. If done regularly every day. this treatment alone will preserve the sight into quite old age. There is a right and wrong way of wiping the eyes after this, too, and the right way is to pass the soft towel very gently from the outer angle inward toward the DOSO. If after a long day the eyes feel so hot and tired that they seem dim when one tries to read or to do a little neces- sary sewing for oneself. they should be bathed with cold tea from which the leaves have been removed. It Jarred Him. "Pleasant offices you have here," said a policy holder who visited a life insur- ance office in the Postal Telegraph building in New York to pay his pre- mium. The windows overlook the City Hall park and the Nathan Ilale statue. "Yes," replied the insurance man, "but the inscription on that Hale stat- ue, patriotic and inspiring though it Is, strikes a discordant note in the soul of one who is underwriting risks on men's lives. Look at it—My only regret Is that I have but one life to give in defense of my country.' "—New York Times. Dealing In Futures, Mr. Newed—I have an option on that Blank avenue house.

The slow absorption,of many poison's changes in some morevor less modified form the complexion,,but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The, popular belief that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill them- selves with it in small, continued doses. It produces ai waxy, ivorylike :Lapeer- ance of the akin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly opposite from that of arsenic. The first symptoms of ammonia poisoning which appears among those who work in ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This gradu- ally extends over the face until the complexion has a stained, blotched and unsightly appearance, With people who take ammonia into their systems in small doses, as with their water and food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that -is visible for a time is a general unwholesomeness and sal- lowness of the complexion. Undigested Food. The recurrence of the flavor of food for some time after eating is always an indication, writes a physician in a medical journal, that the food is not being properly digested. "I can taste we say after eating canned fruits and vegetables preserved by adding salicylic acid or formaldehyde, sub- stances that embalm food against the digestive juices as completely as they rotect it from the microbes of the outer air. And "I can taste it" would probably be the report of one who had made a hearty meal on a turkey kept several months in cold storage. "A man trying to live on such meat would simply starve to death or die of blood poisoning," adds the physician. He does not fail to remind us that the storage warehouse is generally a convenience and a benefit and only when misused a source of danger. But neither he nor any one else could find a good word to say for manufacturers who put slow poison into a food prod- uct. The fitting puuisliment for them would be to give them nothing to eat but their own canned stuff. The Hind That Plies Longest, Mr. J. .caster, naturalist, who spent five years on the west coast of Florida studying birds there, came to the conclusion that of all the feathered tenants of the air the frigate bird can fly the longest without resting. Ile has seen one flying for a whole week night and day without repose. The frigate bird can feed, collect ma- terials for its nest and even sleep on the wing. Apparently its wings can be controlled automatically, without the power of its will, and it probably adapts itself to take advantage of the upward or bearing force of the wind. The spread of the frigate bird's wing is great, and it can fly at a 'speed of pinety-six miles an hour, without seem- ing to flap its wings much. The albatross—that "king of the high seas," as it has been called—is larger than the frigate bird, but if it follows a vessel for four or five days it has to rest on a rock or on the ship itself. An Impudent Dog. One day Beau Nash joined some fine ladies in a grove and, asking one of them who was crooked whence she came, she replied, "Straight from Lon- don." "Confound me, madam," said he, "then you must have been warped by the way!" She soon, however, had ample re- venge. The following evening he join- ed her company and, with a sneer and a bow. asked her if she knew her cate- chism and could tell him the name of Tobit's dog. "His name, sir, was Nash." replied the lady, "and an impudent dog be was!" Proving Polarisation. The polarization of the human body can be proved by allowing a strong current to flow through the body from one end to the other, the hands being placed in two basins connected with the poles. The bands are then dried and placed in two other basins of wa- ter connected with the wires of a deli- cate galvanometer. A current in the reverse direction to the original one is then found to flow from the body. Johnson on Poverty. Poverty, my dear friend, Is so great an evil and pregnant with so much temptation and so much misery that I cannot but earnestly enjoin you to avoid it. Live on what you have; live if you can on less. Do not borrow either for vanity or pleasure; the vani- ty will end in shame and the pleasure In regret.—Samuel Johnson. Spiders Are Industrious. No small insect ever escapes from the web of a spider, a fact which is not to be wondered at when it is con- idered that an ordinary sized snare may contain as many as 120,000 viscid globules. The spinner is constantly engaged in repairing injuries to the web inflicted by wind, stray leaves or captured insects. Once a day the whole snare is subjected to rigorous examina- tion, and any broken or loosened threads are adjusted.—Cornhill Maga- zine. Thunder. Winter thunder is considered through- out Europe to be of very) 1 I omen, but April thunder is considered to be very beneficial. In Devonshire and other cider counties of England there is a saying that "when it thunders in April you must clean up the barrels"—in readiness, that is, for a plentiful crop of apples. The French consider April thunder to be indicative of a good yield from their vineyards and cornfields. Th. WSJ' of the World. Horton—You used to think Bember was a great friend of yours.

Oninot's Father. Guizot lived through the:mostievent- ful periods of modern France. He was born in 1787 amid the mutterings:of the revolution. Guizot's parents were mar- ried by a proscribed Protestant pastor, and his birth was never legally. regis- tered. His father, who was an -advo- cate, used his talent for public•Speak- ing in the interests of the persecuted Protestants and became a marktd,man. After living for several weeks in dan- ger of his life he was at last arrested, unwillingly enough, by a gendarra who knew and respected him. "Shall I let you escape?" said the man. "Are you married?" replied M. Gui- zot. "Yes. I have two children." "And so have I," replied -the prisoner, "but you would have to pay for me. Let us go on." They went on, and M. Guizot died on the scaffold a few days later. At this time Francois, the future statesman, who was the elder of the two children, was six and a half years old and al- ways preserved the recollection of go- ing to see his father in prison, or what was euphemistically called the house of justice.—Gentleman's Magazine. Blue Predominant. He was from the country and stood helplessly before the haughty young lady clerk of the downtown store. "What do you want, please?" she de- manded icily. He gulped down his embarrassment, for he was hopelessly young and shy and awkward, and she was a most su- perior looking creature. "I want twelve yards of blue predom- inant," he finally said. "What?" demanded the startled clerk. "T -twelve yards of b -b -blue predom- inant," he stammered again. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean," said the clerk. Then, womanly kindness and intuition getting the bet- ter of her hauteur, she said, "Tell me just what it was your mother or your sister told you to bring." He gave a sigh of relief and said: "They wanted some wash goods for my little sister's dress. They said they were not so particular as to quality and color, just so I got blue predominant. Can't I get it here?"—Memphis Scimi- tar. Not In Order. In a certain Lanarkshire village a meeting was called to consider the ad- visability of erecting a bridge over a creek which had been heretofore cross- ed by paeans of stepping stones. The schoolmaster, who presided over the meeting, warmly advocated the erection of a bridge in an eloquent speech, when a local worthy, who was something of a character and noted for his outspokenness, got up and inter- rupted; 'Hoot, toot, schuleinaister, you're fair haiverin', mon! Wha wad gang an' put a brig ower siccan a wee bit creek as yon? Losh, mon, I cud cross it wi' stannin' jump!" "Order, order!" exclaimed the chair- man angrily. You are clearly out of order." "I ken Pm oot o' order," rejoined the interrupter amid the laughter of the audience. "If I was in order, I cud lump as (aur again!" — London An- swers. Very Tired. It has remained for a little girl to nearly, if not quite, equal a famous witticism of Leigh Hunt. Of course she spoke in childish innocence, where the English essayist and wit used his ripened intellect. Hunt, in describing an exceedingly warm day, it will be remembered, spoke of it as one which tempted him to strip off his flesh and sit in his bcnes. The little girl had been romping and running all day. Toward nightfall her father met her. "Are you not very tired, little one?" he asked. "Oh, not so very tired, papa," she re- plied. Then in a burst of confidence she whispered, "Only I do feel as though I'd like to take my legs off and carry them awhile." A Long Sleep. Dr. Soca, an English physician, re- ported the case of a young girl of sev- enteen taken with syncope after a cold "tub" who slept for seven months in the hospital to which she was admit- ted. When she was aroused froth sleep, she responded drowsily to questions put and fell asleep again. At the end of seven months she died of pneumo- nia, having slept herself out of life. Sometimes she was fed in her sleep and at other times while they kept her awake. DOB and Wolf. There has been some dispute as to the descent of the dog—whether it is an improved progeny of the wolf or a distinct variety. That it is a different species is proved by the fact that the dog and the wolf will mate and pro- duce offspring. Nevertheless it is prob- able that the dog is merely descended from ts, same original stock with the wolf. Why He Escaped.

Koenigs has printed a sketch of a general theory of mechanisms. Every machine consists of a number of material bodies, re- Bistances, joined together reciprocally, upon which natural forces act to pro- duce a desired effect, and the effect may be either a state of rest or one of motion. The resisting bodies and their connections are the mechanism. Its ef- fect is not known until we define the acting forces. The same machine will produce different effects according as different forces play upon it. Machines are subject to three ef- irects—static when the forces produce quilibrium; kinetic when the result is inotion, and, finally, dissociative when the connections of the machine are changed. The latter effect is usually not considered, but it is essential to take it into account. A machine could litot be built, in the first place. unless I tt was capable of dissociation. In some Machines—locks, for instance—the parts are dissociated every time the appa- ratus operates. It is desirable to de- ign most machines, however, so that the dissociative effects do not come in- to play during their operation.

Geological Agents That Are Always Busy- in Nature's Great Workshop. Where Man Has Comparatively Lit- tle Influence. The atmosphere plays its part in geo- logical operations. Its corroding pow- er. backed by rain and wind, helps to decay and disintegrate those rocks which are exposed to its influence. Rain completes the work thus begun. Wind blows dust, sand and volcanic ashes over large tracts of earth—in fact, over the whole of it. It is only of late years that geolo- gists have discovered that fine vol- canic dust is carried over the whole of the earth's surface and plays a very important part in the deep sea depos- its. On deserts and nearly rainless re- gions blown sand will wear away the hardest rocks by beating against them. Some sandstone formations ap- pear to have been piled up by winds. ° Winds cause ocean currents,' waves and storms. The great denuding power of the sea is largely due to the atmosphere. Some parts of the Eng- lish coasts are being rapidly washed away. Plants and animals have their distribution considerably affected ny winds and ocean currents. Again, whether living in water or on land, animals live on the oxygen supplied from the atmosphere, and land plants absorb carbonic acid from the same source. Bain acts in two ways: (1) chemic- ally by dissolving certain substances, such as lime, out of the rocks, and (2) mechanically by wearing down their surfaces as it flows over them. Any old building—a ruined castle or cathe- dral, for instance—shows a "weath- ered" surface resulting from the ac- tion of rain and wind. In sandstone structures the details of carving are often lost, and on old tombstones the lettering can hardly be deciphered. Springs are due to rainwater collecting in rocks and rising to the surface. Rivers are fed by rains and springs. A river is a very powerful geological agent. In the hardest rocks rivers gradually carve out a valley or gorse. This is accomplished partly by chemic- ally dissolving certain mineral sub- stances, but chiefly by mechanical erosion, the stones, sand and mud wearing away the bed of a stream as they run and tumble over it. The finest examples of river actiou are the famous canyons taf Colcrudo, wl-' sh in some place's are gorges 5,000 ors -:;vee 6,000 feet deep, with vertical sides. taut, as already pointed out, rivers have a constructive action quite as important as their destructive ac- tion. By bringing down their burden of sediment into lakes, estuaries and seas they build up great piles of rock and "sow the dust of continents to be." Glaciers are rivers of ice fed by the "eternal snows" of high mountain ranges such as the Alps. They wear out their own valleys as rivers do; they transport mud, sand and stones to great distances, in some cases sending them sealed up in is bergs to float far out to sea and on melting deposit their burdens On the sea Boor. Ott the coast of Newfoundland northern icebergs are depositing a great mass of "gla- cial drift." The sea is a great denuding agent; but its work is more constructive than destructive. It is the workshop where nearly all the stratified rocks have been a(-( bitul ted and ranged iu layers or strata. The rivers and ocean cur- rents continually bring in fresh sup- plies of debris even for hundreds of miles. Man, compared with the lower ani- mals, produces but little effect as a ge- ological agent. Still the human race has considerably modified the distribu- tion of plants by cutting down forests and by cultivating certain plants to supply food. So with animals. Cer- tain useful species have been cultivat- ed and enormously increased at the expense of others which prove useless or harmful. But plants and animals have had, and still have, far more influence geo- logically. Coal seams are made up of vegetable remains of former periods. Forests have an important influence on climate and on animal as well as plant life. In the comparatively ur- knosvn world of the ocean marine plants doubtless_ have important func- tions. Marine animals accomplish a vast amount of geological constructive work. Great deposits thousands of feet thick owe their existence to small calcareous creatures living in the sea. Coral reefs afford the most familiar illustration. The force known as heat is of great importance. The earth is hotter below the surface and probably has a very high temperature toward its center. In some places not very far below its surface it contains highly heated rock, which occasionally flows over the sur- face during volcanic eruptions. In other places we find hot springs in con- nection with volcanic action. Heat exercises a powerful influence on rocks deeply buried below the earth's surface, chiefly by means of heated water and steam. In this way rocks have been 'very much altered or "metamorphosed." The crystalline schists have thus been brought to their present state by a series of chemical changes due to heat, and there is no doubt that they were once ordinary deposits of clay, sand, etc.—Hutchin- son's "Autobiography of the Earth;" the Appleton Company.

Ou going into the Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial rooms one morning I saw a new man, who wus introduced to me as 1?r. Browne. - Ile was young, cheerfulin manner, tall and slender, not quite up to date in style of dress, yet by no means shabby. His hair was flaxen and very straight; his nose, the prominent fea- ture of his face, was Romanesque -- quite violently so—and with a leaning to the left. His eyes were blue gray, with a twinkle in them; his mouth seemed so given to a merry laugh, so much In motion, that it was difficult to describe. It seemed as though bubbling in him was a lot of happiness which he made no effort to conceal or hold back. When we were introduced, he was sit- ting at his table writing. He gave his leg a smart slap, arose, shook hands with me and said he was glad to meet me. I believed him, for he looked glad all the time. You could not look at him but he would laugh. He laughed as he sat at his table writing. When he had written a thing which pleased him, he would slap his leg and laugh. I noticed that George Hoyt and James Brokenshire at their tables were pleased with his merriment and in- dulged in broad smiles. As I bade him and the others good morning he said, "Come again, me liege." I thanked him, said I would and went my way, thinking what a• funny fellow he was. Within a month thereafter appeared in the columns of The Plain Dealer a funny letter signed "Artemus Ward." The writer said he was in the show business, bad a trained kangaroo, "a most amoosin' little cuss," some "snaix" and a collection of wax fig- ures, which he called a "great moral show." As he was coming to Cleve- land to exhibit, he made a proposition to the proprietor that they "scratch each other's backs"—the publisher to write up the show vigorously and the showman to have the handbills print- ed at his office and give him free tick- ets for all his family. So I found my young friend of the gurgle and hay colored hair to 'be an embryo humorist just bursting into bloom. Artemus, as from that time he was best known, soon bad a city full of friends, myself and family among them.—James F. Ryder in Century Magazine. FLOWER AND TREE. Never buy a plant In bloom. Never water plants in flower from above. In planting out an orchard do not plant more thaw can be manured and cared for well. A yard or lawn always Looks barren without some choice ornamental trees and shrubs. Ou this account every lawn should contain a few choice speci- mens of these ornamental trees. - Scale insects on plants, such as the oleanders, the fragrant olive, roses, etc., are among the most difficult pests to overcome. A mixture of white helle- bore powder with dissolved soap rub- bed in is a good remedy. Keeping all young trees carefully staked leads to the formation of clean, straight stems. These in their turn are conducive to the growth of large, healthy, fruitful heads. One stout stake should be placed by each tree when it is planted. Crocus most be planted in October to insure spring blooms. It makes a fine appearance if thickly planted upon a lawn. Make a cut with a spade three or four inches deep in the sod, tuck in c couple of bulbs and press tbe sod back into place with the foot. Habits of Seals. The habits of seals are very interest- ing. The very young seal is helpless in the water until he is taught by his mother to swim. She takes him into the water daily on her fin and dumps him in, and when be gets tired of floundering about places him on her fin again and returns to her camp. When the young seals are well grown, they suddenly disappear with their mothers and the bull seals. No one knows where they go, and their return is equally as sudden as their departure. The bulls are the first to put in an ap- pearance at the camping ground. When they arrive, they commence at once to prepare a camp for their mates, which they stake off, and for which they tight until they die. In the mean- time the female seals remain quite a distance from land, floating lazily on the water and seemingly having a good time. Bound to Sound Their "H." The English middle classes have had so much fun poked at them for drop- ping the letter "h" and for carrying it forward and placing it where itshould not be, possibly thus to obey the laws of compensation, that they have be- come sensitive on the subject, and many aspirate the "h" with double force when the letter should be aspi- 1 rated. Instead of saying "before him," as Americans do, with a light aspira- tion, they will say "before him," taking a full and deep breath when they utter the second word, shooting it out as if it came from a popgun. Dropping the "h" is not new for ordinary English folk. It is a new trick to aspirate it with double the force required.—New York Commercial Advertiser Grows on Her.

A FISHING FICTION. THE "MAGIC EYE" Of THE SAULT STE. MARIE INDIANS. An Old Guide's Explanation of the Indian Whitefish Hunter's Method of Getting ills Glistening Catch From Under the Rapids. "The first time I fished in the Sault Ste. Marie rapids," said a well known Lake Keuka sportsman, "I landed in an hour twenty-one brook trout that weighed forty-five pounds; so I was ready and willing to believe anything I heard or read about the possibilities of those waters or the astounding things that men who fished in them were able to do. "Consequently I believed what they told me about the marvelous feats the Indian fishermen of the Sault Ste. Marie mull_perform in the way of netting whi fish. Few who have tour- ed the great lakes have not heard of those same feats, witnessed them and, of course, could do nothing but go away believing that they were all they seemed to be. "Particularly will they marvel, as I did, at the Indian whitefish fisherman's magic eye with which he seems to look down through ten feet or more of foaming, rushing water and see white- fish that to the white man's eye would be invisible five inches beneath the surface. It would have been strange if I had not marveled at it, having witnessed more than once manifesta- tions of its alleged power. 'That was before I talked with old Guide Garron. 'The astounding feats of the Indian whitefish netters of the Sault Ste. Marie that the guidebooks and the hotel keepers and steamboatmen insist on telling tourists about are performed by two Indians in a canoe. One occu- pies the stern and manipulates the paddle to keep the canoe's head point- ed up stream. The Indian in the bow, standing upright, uses a pole to aid in propelling the canoe or in keeping it steady. "Lying ready to his hand is a dip net four feet in diameter, fastened to the end of a pole perhaps fifteen feet long. The fishing is done at the foot of the rapids, where the water boils and tum- bles furiously. With his pole the In- dian in the bow keeps the boat moving about in the rapids and gazes constant- ly into the water, which is often ten feet or more deep. "Suddenly the Indian in the bow will seize the net handle with one hand, never ceasing to manipulate the canoe with his pole in the other nor for an instant removing his staring gaze from the water. The net is not more than in his hand before he has plunged it perhaps ten feet distant from the boat, thrusting it at the same instant to the bottom. Then he gives it a peculiar twist, draws it up and, surrendering the care of the canoe for the moment to the Indian with the paddle, he draws the net up, never without from three to half a dozen glistening white- fish in it, frequently weighing five pounds each. "The wondering spectator, seeing nothing but the boiling water, the sud- den start of tbe Indian and his quick and dexterous plunging and drawing up of the net with its invariable load of whitefish, can do nothing but ac- knowledge to himself the necromancy of the Indian's piscatorial art. I know that I did, and for two seasons gave myself away to the fascination of that mysterious fishing. Then one day I marveled at it greatly to Guide Garron, the shrewd and cunning old French- man who knows every rock and eddy and whirlpool of the rapids and all the wiles and tricks that any other guide knows and a whole lot that no other one does know, and Garron's little black eyes twinkled. "'Ab!' he chuckled. `Zat mageeck hye. Ile von gr -r -rand homboag!' "Then he explained in his voluble and picturesque patois the apparent mystery of the Indian whitefish fisher- man's magic eye. Whitefish are natu- ral denizens of the still, silent wate-s of the great lakes. To get from Lake Huron,to Lake Superior these fish must h'; their way up the fierce and stubboru Sault Ste. Marie rapids. In doing; this they travel by easy stages. They can brave the rapids but a short distance at a time, when, almost ex- hausted, they drop into the shelter of the friendly rocks that pile the bottom of the rapids. "Huddled sometimes by the score be- hind these rocks, getting wind, as it were, to overcome another stage of their journey, the whitefish, if the wa- ter is not too deep, can be lifted. out by the hand of the fisherman, they are so nearly exhausted. The Indians as well as the white fishermen know this and, knowing well the location of these sheltering rocks, have only to thrust their nets down behind them and 'draw them up filled with fish. "The cunning of the Indian led him long ago to give visitors the impression that he could penetrate the troubled depths of the rapids with his gaze and discover the whitefish on the bottom. The wonder of it spread, and it has been one of the fondest and best pay- ing fictions of `Susan Mary,' as the na- tives give you the pronunciation of the Sault Ste. Marie."—New York Times. Harsh Neighbors. "How do you like your neighbors?" "Not a bit," said the woman who was tying a little boy's hat on. "You see, they don't like children." "How do you know?"

Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries • Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts Egotism of Genius. A writer in the London Standard de- clares the Iden that gonius is usually modest to be a popular delusi AL On the contrary, he alleges egotism to tie the very essence of true genius and giyttes many amusing examples. When Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge were walking together and Coleridge remarked that the day was so tine "it might have been ordered for three poets," the gentle Wordsworth promptly exclaimed: "Three poets! Who are the other two?" Disraeli, then a mere youth, wrote to his sister that he had heard Macaulay, Shell and Grant speak. "but between ourselves I could floor thorn all." And again he said, "When I want to read a good book, I write one." Our own Joaquin Miller wrote to Walt Whitman: "You and I are over the head of the rabble. We know we are great, and if, other people don't know it it is their own fault." It was President Grant who, being told that a certain senator, an admit- ted genius who was very hostile to him, did not believe the Bible, ex- pressed his estimate of the senator's egotism by rejoining: "Why should he? He didn't write it, you know."—New York World. Baying a Razor. "I need a new razor," said the man who shaves himself. "Better let rife get=it for you," sug- gested the reformed Jiarber, who, now that he is a troll. car conductor, regards himself as a distinguished member of society. 'All cutlery stores are filled with razors of the class known as 'dead ones.' When a barber buys a razor, he takes it with the un- derstanding that he is to try It out, and if it doesn't work well he takes it back and gets another one, keeping this up until he gets one that suits him. Buy- ing a razor, you know, is a lottery in which the prizes are few and far be- tween. When the ordinary citizen goes to a cutlery store, he picks out what he thinks is a good razor, pays for it and takes his chances. He picks one out, too, from the buncl.i of 'dead ones' that barbers have tried and'f,ound wanting. That's why I advise you to let me get it for you. Then if you don't like it I can keep exchanging It until you get a good one. They needn't know I've quit the business."—Philadelphia Record. The Woolsack. Back during the time of Queen ElIza- beth an act of parliament was passed prohibiting the exportation of wool. This product was one of the great sources of the natural wealth of Eng- land at that time, and in accordance with the economic notions of the age the authorities attempted to keep it in the country, ims"lgining that if it went abroad, even though something more valuable or desirable were exchanged for it, the country would be the poorer. In order to bold the importance of this commodity before the minds of the national legislators woolsacl;s were placed in the house of lords, where the judges sat. Hence the lord chancellor, who presides over the. house of Lords, "sits on the woolsack." The woolsack, according to a printed description, is a "large square big of wool without back or arms and covered with red cloth." •Faints." Fusel oil, or "faints," as it is com- monly called about the distilleries in England, according to the London Lan- cet, is a primary amyl alcohol mixed with primary and secondary propyl al- cohols. In England It can be obtalned gratis at some distilleries. It is used locally as an external application for rheumatism. It is obtained from fer- mented grain or potatoes by continu-,. Mg the process of distillation after the ordinary spirit has all "come over." It is an oily liquid, with a burning, acrid taste and an odor said to resemble jargonelle pear. It has intoxicating and poisonous properties considerably more powerful than ordinary spirits. Oyster shells. One thousand bushels of shucked oysters leave about 1,100 bushels of shells, which accumulate in great heaps about the shucking houses. The oyster shells landed on the shores of Maryland daring the last ninety years have been reckoned at 12,000,000 tons —a quantity twice sufficient to over- load and sink every sailing vessel, steam vessel, barge and canalboat in America. A man may not appear to advantage with his hands in his poekets, but it is better than slaving them in the pockets of others.—Chicago News. 1 Beware of the Cold Bath. The cold bath in the morning is not So popular as it was formerly. There is much energy expended in the re- action and just at the time of day when this energy is at its lowest ebb. Then, too, cold water has very little cleansing effect. Very hot water stimulates the nerves, which is the ef- fect that we are seeking from the cold water, while it does not demand the energy of reaction of the latter. The duration of the morning bath should be as short as possible—hardly longer than the mere application of the water to the skin, followed by a brisk rub- bing. However, many prefer a cool Sponge bath in the morning, and if this is followed by a warm glow and a feeling of well being it certainly is beneficial. Many people are not strong enough to react well. A hot bath at night is _most cleansing and restful. General bathing must be -regulated by Individual peculiarities— Emma E. Walker, M. D., in Ladies' Home Jour- nal. A Little Too Late. The minister of a Scotch parish had L great wish that an old couple should become teetotalers, but they were in no- wise eager to- comply. After much pressing, however, they consented to try the experiment, but laying down as a condition that they should be allowed to keep a bottle of "Auld Kirk" for medicinal purposes. About a fortnight after John began to feel his resolution weakening, but he was determined not to be the first to give way. In another week, however, be collapsed entirely.

He Was Selfish. An Arabic anecdote illustrative of the subtleness of selfishness, which enables it to glide into the heart of a Saint, is told of the holy Mohammedan Sakati. He said that for twenty years he had never ceased imploring divine pardon for having once exclaimed, "Praise be to God!" On being asked the reason for such persistent praying he answer- ed: "A fire broke out in Bagdad, and a person came to me and told me that my shop had escaped, on which I ut- tered those words, and even to this moment I repent of having said so, be- cause it showed that I wished better to myself than to others."

"A tornado that was remarkable both in appearance and iu action was one that traveled from Texas across Okla- homa and Indian Territory in May, 1896," says Earl W. Mayo in Ainslee's. "A man in Sherman, Okla., who had ex- ceptional opportunities for observing the storm, inasmuch as he was caught up in it and carried several hundred yards before descending to earth again, is certain that it was not funnel shaped. He says of it: "'It looked,to me like a great ball of vapor rolling over and over toward me. When I first saw it distinctly, it was at a hill perhaps an eighth of a mile away. It seemed to be about 250 yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo- tion was that of a ball rolling over and over, not spiral, and it came on rather slowly, perhaps thirty miles an hour. Whatever the ball of cloud struck was lifted right off the ground. " `I saw it pick up house after house between the hill and me, and the cloud seemed to be full of flying boards and timbers. When tile ball reached Mrs. C. s, the house nearest me, it went straight up off its foundations. The house 'remained intact until it was about tsi`enty or twenty-five feet from the ground, then it burst open and the fragments flew in all directions. It looked like an exploding bomb. The corn and cotton standing a hundred feet on either side of the storm's path were uninjured, but whenever the cloud strut'• the higher ground it spread out, covering a wider strip of the surface. " `When the cloud struck me, I went up lightly and- easily and the sensation was not unpleasant, but I came down hard and was badly shaken up, al- though not seriously injured. On the highway north of -Sherman fence wires were tore from the posts and pounded into the bard surface of the road a dis- tance of two or three inches.' " THE WOMAN WHO FAINTED. A Lesson on Courtesy In a Crowded London Theater. Here is an example of the courtesy and good feeling of the twentieth cen- tury. How are we to account for it? The worst of it is that in such a case the innocent suffer for the guilty. When a woman does really faint, there will be some hesitation before she receives a seat, consolation and brandy. In au overcrowded pit of one of the` London theaters the other night a lady, who was standiug, suddenly became very faint, and another lady sitting near kindly offered her her Beat. Not only this, but, seeiug that she did not recover quickly, she went and fetched some restoratives from the refreshment room, whereupon the lady quickly re- covered and began to thoroughly eater into the spirit of the play, apparently quite oblivious of her benefactress. As time lent on she was asked by her benefactress if she would object to her sitting down again. But the other would none of it. "Now I have a seat I mean to keep it!" she replied. Where- upon her benefactress gently reminded her that she had paid for her seat and thought that she had every right to re- turn to it. But no amount of talking would apparently move the former. A gentleman sitting near, having watched the episode, leaned forward and said, "Do you intend to give up your seat?" "No." was' the reply. Up he sprang and gently lifted her out of it. An onlooker said to a lady next to her, "I like that man." "Thank you," was the reply; "he is my husband." There seems to be no limit to the re- sources used by some people to secure what they have not paid for. The lady was no more faint than any one else in the audience.—London Free Lance. The Necessity of Salt. Although in treaties on dietetics salt figures as a condiment, it is universally recognized to be something - more; in- deed it is an indispensable element of the food of man and animals. A well known authority asserts, says The Medical Press and Circular, that when- ever the annual consumption of salt falls below twenty pounds per head of population the public health is likely to suffer. The deprivation of salt does not produce a definite disease, but re- duces the vitality of the organism as a whole, so that the victims of adminis- trative measures which restrict the consumption of salt more readily fall prey to prevailing epidemics, as well as to endemic maladies.

A man walked into one of the up- town co'lege clubs one morning and sat down in the smoking room. His air of assurance was hardly in accord with his tattered clothes. It was early, and none of the members was about. He rang the bell, and the steward re- sponded. "It seems good to get back into the club again," he remarked. "Yes, sir," said the steward. , "I -used to be a member here, but I've had hard luck and can't afford it any longer." "Yes, sir; I'm sorry, sir," said the - Steward. "By the way, I'm a little short of car fare this morning," said the - nervy stranger. "Could you let me have ten cents until I call here again?" The surprised steward reached into his pocket and handed out a dime. "Thank you," said the man. "Now, I'm also a little hungry, having had no breakfast. Do you suppose you could gather me up a little luncheon?" The steward was stupefied by such a display of nerve. "And a little whisky with a dash of bitters would not go badly with the food." The steward fled as one of the mem- bers entered. The stranger saw the new arrival and rose hastily. "I am too early for my friend," he said as he walked toward the door. "I will return later." Then he added in an undertone, which the doorbey heard: "Too bad, too bad! That stew- ard was easy. He'd given me the club if I'd asked for it. It's a wonder those - members wouldn't stay away." The man of nerve walked down the street with his head bowed in deep thought. "How to get that luncheon without paying for it" was his theme.—New York Tribune. CATHERINE II,'S RULES. The rules, inscribed on a tablet now Fn the Hermitage, the famous St. Pe- tersburg Museum of Art, are as fol- lows: I. Leave your rank outside as we!' as your hat and sword. II. Leave your right of precedence, your pride and any similar feeliug out- side the door. I1I. Be gay, but do not spoil or gnaw anything. IV. Sit, stand, walk as you will, without reference to anybody. V. Talk moderately, not loud, so as not to make the heads or ears of others ache. VI. Argue without anger and with- out excitement. VII. Neither sigh nor yawn, nor make any one feel dull or heavy. VIII. In all innocent games, what- ever one proposes, let all join. IX. -Eat whatever'is sweet and savo- ry, but drink with moderation, so that each may find his legs on leaving the room. X. Tell no tales out of school. What- ever goes in at one ear must go out at the other before leaving the room. Whoever offends against rule X shall never again be admitted. Our grande dame will call these rules her Ten Commandments. The Terrapin Disease. The terrapin is thought to have much influence in causing sickness, and the terrapin disease is either a rheumatic affliction about the chest and ribs or possibly some pulmonary trouble. The association of the terrapin with diseases in this portion of the body doubtless originates from the fact that the ribs of the terrapin are not free, as in the case of most of the higher animals, but are united into one piece. An Indian who was ill applied for re- lief to a shaman and was asked, "Did you not when a boy tie strings to the terrapin's tail and worry the creature?" The patient admitted that he did. "Well," said the medicine man, "that Is what is the matter. It is the terra- pin's turn now, and the terrapin is pay- ing off old scores. You have the terra- pin sickness, and all your ribs have grown together and to your breast- bone." The shaman administered the proper remedy prescribed in such cases—I for- get what it was—and the man thought he was cured. Doing His Best. In the early morning I went to the posto®ce in an Alabama town to in- quire for mail, but found I was half an hour too early, I was walking away when the colored janitor who was sweeping out called to me and asked: "Was yo' procrastinatin' around yere arter yo'r mail, sal?" "Yes, but I see I'm too early." "Yes, sah, too airly. An' was yo' a stranger in die town?" • "yes?, "An' hasn't yo' no one to talk tdf" "No." "Den, sah, if yo' don't keer to elimi- nate about de street fur half an hour yo' can stctp right yere, an' I'll do my best to considerate de reciprocity of de situashun an' make yo' feel to home!" sarcastic. He looked about 7 years old, and he sat beside his mother in a Broadway car one day last week. "He's 4," re- marked the mother as the conductor held out his hand for the fare. With never a smile. "Is be married?" asked the conductor.—New York Sun. More people spend their time in won- dering why they are not loved than in trying to make themselves lovable.— Chicago News. DEFEC TIVE PAGE THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY NOV. 16th,1901. Normal School Eztravagsnce. The answer of the board of con- trol to the complaint 'of the normal school managers before the supreme court contains some interesting sta- tistics of the cost of these institutions to the taxpayers of the state, divided as follows: Buildiugs and equipments $ 905,933 Maintenance 2,119,211 Deficiency- appropriations 71,554 Total $3,096,698 If one-tenth of this great sum had been distributed among the high schools during the past thirty years the state would stave vastly more to show for the expenditure than it has now. It is announced in La Crosse that the new long distance line from the twin cities will be built via Hudson, Chippewa Falls, and Eau Claire to Winona, instead of going down this side of the river as originally propos- ed. The reason assigned is the im- possibility of securing connections with local exchanges at Hastings, Red Wing. Lake City, and Wabasha, owing to existing contracts with the Northwestern Company. The Newspaper Blue Book gives The Gazette as the best paper published' in Ilastings.—Hast- ings Gazette. We have nut had anything nice said about us in the Newspaper Blue Book for several years past. In fact. not since we stopped our subscription to it.—Ilast- tage Democrat. The publication of the Newspaper Blue Book was.begun two years ago, The. Democrat was never included in its select list of best papers, and it is not sold by subscription. Otherwise the above statement is substantially correct. — A member of the board of control says it was a great mistake in build- ing insane asylums at Anoka and Hastings, which will be readily ad- mitted by any one conversant with the facts. They should have been made hospitals, at a great saving of transportation, and the present ' hos- pitals at St. Peter, Rochester, and - Fergus Falls relieved of the care of eases from the twin cities and con- --tiguous territory. Cole rounger, the bandit, has de- clined an appointment as captain of police in Minneapolis. It is very doubtful whether the ppitioil would 'tla�e been permissable under the terms of his parole from state prison. J. W. Riddle, of St. Paul, has been appointed first assistant secretary to the United States embassy at St. Petersburg. He is thirty-six years old, a graduate of Harvard, a master of nine languages, and has had six years experience in diplomatic service. There, seems to be reasonable grounds for the general opinion that the gigantic deal involving the North- ern Pacific, Great Northern, and Burlington roads is in violation of the state law prohibiting consolida- tion of competing lines. The first monument to President McKinley was dedicated at Tower, Minn., on Sunday, the governor and other state Officialbeing. s present. It is an iron pedestal, eighteen feet high, and was built by subscription at a cost of $12,000. The tenth state conference of charities and corl'eetions will be held at Owatonna next week, beginning Tuesday evening. An interesting programme has been prepared, with reduced rates at the hotels and on the railroads. The New York Tribune has divided its weekly edition into two parts, or rather now issues two weeklies, one called The Tribune Farmer, the other The Tribune Review. The idea is quite novel, and both are good papers. A man was arrested in Minneapolis the other evening while wandering . around the streets with a lighted can- dle, looking for a Christian. He should have had a locomotive head- light. The case against the iron ore companies has been dismissed by the railroad commissioners, owing to the fact that all the traffic is interstate and not within their jurisdiction. The internal revenue department has made a new ruling requiring a fifty cent stamp on bonds of execu- tors and guardians in probate courts, heretofore held to be exempt. If the Rev. Israel Bergstrom ac- cepts a call from the Baptist Church at Hudson there will be one less candidate for something just as good in Minnesota. A box car merchant was tined $150 at Ilallock on Wednesday for selling adulterated groceries. Four glandered horses were turned into soap grease at Stillwater on Tuesday. Minnesota Journalism. The St. Peter Journal has discard- ed the patent insides and is now all home print, a commendable improve- ment. William Luxton, late of The St. Paul Globe, has been appointed in- spector of public institutions and buildings in Manitoba. It is reported that forty-five fourth class postmasters will lose their com- missions by the proposed extension of rural free delivery in Hennepin County. A Minneapolis man named J. E. McLean was killed in the woods in Lake County on Tuesday, having been mistaken by another hunter for a deer. Dr. William Thorne writes from Covina, Cal., that prospects of the orange crop are fair, but it will not be as large as last year.

Henry Miller, brakeman on the Burlington motor was killed on Mon- day at St. Paul Park. He was a resident of that place, aged twenty- three years, and had been married but a few months. Richard.F. Moorhouse died at his home in Stanton, Nov. 4th. He was born at South Elmsley, Leeds County, Ontario, June 29th, 1836. In 1866 he came to Minnesota, settling soon after on the homestead where he died He was twice married, first to Miss Letitia Dock. Four children were bora to them, and after her death he married Miss Emily Zemke, who with the nine children of this marriage survive him. Mr. Moorhouse is also survived by four brothers and two sisters. Two brothers live in Canada, one in Chicago, and one in Hastings. The latter was here at the funeral. Last June Mr. Moorhouse was strick- en with paralysis, and at times was able to be around, but he gradually failed in health until death relieved him. Mr. Moorhouse was an honest, hard working man, whose familiar figure will be sadly missed family 13 and friends. The funeral took place from the family residehce Wednesday afternoon, and was largely attended by his old friends and neighbors, the Interment taking place t ' e in the Cannon Falls cemetery. The religious ser- vices were conducted by the Rev. M. E. Boulton. The pall bearers were Messrs. James Robinson, Francis Goudy, L. Benson, Harrison Slocum, E. F. Clifford, and E. A. Dibhle.— Cannon Falls Beacon, 8th. Nearly one hundred residents of Waterford and vicinity attended the social given by the Sunday school of that yillage at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Peak. A programme, in which Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson, Calvin Grimes,Ruth Peak, and a num- ber of others took part, was given in a highly leasin p g manner. Miss Maggie Gibson was voted the most popular young lady present, and given a handsome pillow. The next social will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs George Davidson, on the 15th. The proceeds will be applied on the payment of an organ recently purchased for the church.—North- field News, 9th. A whole lot of Litchfield people within the past two weeks paid a canvasser $1 eaeh for tin stew pans of a new (angled sort, which are on sale at local hardware stores at fifty cents. This is on a par with the price paid to peddlers a year or two ago for stoneware cooking pots. The same article that the canvassers sold for $1.75 could be had from Litch- field stores for fifty cents.—Litchfield Independent. One would hardly suppose from the manner in which the Chicago, Mil- waukee, & St. Paul and the Chicago Great Western are fighting over the question of sidetrack privileges in Red Wing that there was any truth in the report that one line will soon control both.—Red Wing Republican.

Snelling, was seriously and probably fatally injured yesterday, being kicked in the head by one of his horses at Horejs Bros.' barn, west Seventh Street. The injured man was token to the city hospital, where it was found that his skull was frac- tured, while his scalp was torn nearly from his head, and his left leg injur- ed. His condition was very low last night, and the physicians at the hos- pital had grave doubts as to his chances for recovery. Coffey came to town about ten o'clock with a load of oats for Horejs Bros., and put his team in the stable while he was un- loading. He entered the stall of one of the animals, which was heavily shod, and fed it, and turned to leave the stall when the animal suddenly kicked Coffey in the leg. The force of the blow sent him to the floor, and the horse stamped its heavily shod foot several times on the prostrate man's_ head. An employe of the bakery Kea rd the man's screams and hastened to his rescue. Coffey is forty-five years old, and runs a large farm near Mendota. He is married and has a family,—St. Paul Globe, 9th.

I wonder what made him write directly he reached South- ampton:" Priscilla Baberley glanced inquiring- ly from the open letter in her hand to the mirror over her drawing room mantelpiece as though her reflection might possibly answer the query. The wistful melancholy of her ex- pression was due to an illness which had left her almost totally deaf; though the fact was scarcely noticeable,thanks to the knowledge of lip reading she had acquired, and when this means failed she resorted to the use of an ear trumpet, or an ingeniously constructed fan. "Oh, dear: If only 1 hadn't been deaf; men have a horror of deaf old maids! But' I needn't let ilial know just at first—he always spoke distinct- ly and was clean shaven. which means a great deal to me now. I'm sure I can manage it," she resumed meditatively.

A moment after the maid held aside the heavy plush portiere and a tall, military looking man, with a flowing gray beard and mustache. filled up the doorway. "Good gracious—a beard as well!"

Ale major—colonel, 1 mean -'—she corrected herself agitatedly—"delighted to see you: It's like your good nature to call so soon. How you have altered: I should scarcely have known you." "You haven't changed in the least degree," he said gallantly, shaking her hand between 'a both h 1 t u.. "Why, it seems only yesterday- that we said 'goodby' at your sister's garden party-." His tone was gruff, but hearty, and somewhat above the normal pitch. and she managed to catch a word here and there as she watched his lips anxious- ly, holding the fan to her own. "Yes—er—I have a little garden here," she rejoined hesitatingly. "But come and sit down. I want to bear all about yourself and your campaigns. Of course I learned a great deal from the papers, but it isn't the saute as a personal narrative, so you must just tell me from the very beginning." She seated herself opposite him, her eyes still fixed on his face. "Really, Celia—I may call you the old name. may I not?—there is nothing to tell, just the usual changes from hill stations to the plains, and vice versa; then the outbreak, which we quelled after some sharp fighting and losing some of our best fellows, and that's all. You don't suppose," he resumed in a lower tone, "that I've come here, directly I set foot in the old country, to talk about my campaigns?" She heard the note of interrogation and dropped her eyes rather discon- certedly, murmuring an unintelligible monosyllable. "I want to talk something far more interesting," he continued softly—"that concerns you as well as myself. You've no idea what pleasure it Is to see you again—and to find that you—that you are not married." "Really?" she exclaimed after a slight pause, cleverly simulated sur- prise in her tone. "Yat, it has always been in my thoughts," he rejoined eagerly, his courage rising. "I should have spoken before I went away, but do you re- member remarking once that you never intended to marry unless the man who asked you had something more to his credit than a banking account. That was why I exchanged and went abroad. I did think of writing when I was out there, but until these frontier affairs were quite settled I thought it fairer not to ask you to tie yourself to me, as if I'd been hit it might have been a blow to you. Of course that was taking for granted you cared a lit- tle for me." And he concluded smiling rather shamefacedly. "Indeed!" She smiled also, feigning astonishment. "Now, confess, Celia, this is not alto- gether a surprise to you. Even if it is —you do not find it disagreeable?" "Dear me—how strange!" she ex- claimed hesitatingly, after a slight pause, still keeping her eyes fixed on his face, while she bit the tip of her fan nervously. su She broke the silence at last with a on little regretful sigh. lis "Is that all? It is most interesting." "Ah, Celia," he sighed, 'you are just as tantalizing and stand-offish as ever —but— I like you all the better for it." And he leaned forward with an admir- ing glance at the fair face and shapely head, crowned with neat dark brown a coils. to "Yes, may people have told me the th same," she replied complacently, catch- ing the end of his sentence, and, noting the appreciative glance, she concluded "Now you must have some tea," she said, after rather an awkward pause, laying down her fan, and moving to the table. "Being an old maid I'm rather fussy, so you must not talk while I'm making it—it distracts my attention," she added with a forced lit- tle laugh. He watched her with growing pie ure as her hands busied with the cu the lamp rays touching the gold in 1 hair. "It's like old times, watching y make tea, Celia.

"Er—er—in fact, of course, scarce in theory," she said vaguely. "Cella," he exclaimed, "what earth do you mean?" A dead silence followed. She saw his face that something was wron and her agitation increased when commenced to pace restlessly abo the room, muttering to himself in undertone: "Ever since I've been abroad I' lived and worked in the hope of o day winning you, but now it seems though"— She looked up puzzled.

I don think you've lost the spice of humor. And she flashed a nervous little smil over the top of the fan. "Celia," he said slowly, raising ' hi voice till it rang through the room "this is not a time for joking." The anger in his tone and his hu expression frightened and bewildere her; with a gesture of despair she turn ed away. "If only it hadn't been for the taus tache!" she murmured, half audibly. "Mustache:" he exclaimed eager], hopefulness staring into 'his tone. "I that your only objection? How I wish I bad known before I cane! knit I'1 have it off directly."

At the top of the hill, instead of troops drawn up in battle array, Grant saw a deserted camp. "It occurred to me at once that Harris had been as much afraid of me as I diad been of him," said Grant.

THANKSGIVING DAY: THE SMART SOCIETY DINNER AND THE FAMILY FEAST. Rich Flowers For the Table.—Turnkey and Mince Pie Still to the Fore. Row to Carve the Festal Bird. Hoose Parties the New Thing. The chrysanthemum Is a great fa- vorite on Thanksgiving dinner tables, and a charming effect for the occasion is a centerpiece of yellow chrysanthe- mums, with favors consisting of bunches of violets tied with red rib- bon. This may sound a bit garish, but if the correct shade is chosen the en- semble is really lovely. A new and very smart thing for the Thanksgiving table is n huge bowl of PLUNGE THE PQ/41( UPRIGHT INTO THE CEN- TER OP THE nBEASTHONE, deep red chrysanthemums with half a dozen or more pure white turkey feath- ers among them. The smart Thanksgiving dinner of society still includes turkey and mince pie and even sometimes two kinds of pie, but ice cream is added as well. A good menu for a Thanksgiving dinner begins with raw oysters, followed by a cream of celery or a clear soup, roast turkey, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and cranberry sauce. The cauliflower must be au gratin. The small white onion with the cream sauce is also allowable and quite fashionable. In place of game, ducks or celery, salad may be used, and it must not be forgotten that a fish course comes after the oysters. For this salmon is pre- ferred, although salmon is not, as a rule, connected with a Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner is served entirely a la Russe, but it is considered better, In- stead of merely a slice of bird being placed on each plate, for the turkey to be left on a dish with the pieces cut off by the side, and it is certainly more ap- petizing than where one merely re- ceives the allotted portion. There are no vegetables on the table, only such decorations as will look well with salted nuts, olives and candy in pretty silver dishes, the idea being to have the table look as attractive as possible without any food being seen. It Is said this plan was first devised by a very economical housekeeper, who contended that "folks didn't eat so much food when folies didn't have it to look at." - Outside of very up to date and smart establishments the Thanksgiving din- ner continues to be essentially a fam- ily feast at which the host usually manipulates the carving knife and fork. There seems to he a tradition that on this day the bird in all its brown and savory splendor should be placed intact upon the table. With this in view a few suggestions as to the proper way to carve a turkey may not come amiss. The first move of the carver is to in- sert the fork astride the breastbone, at the point, plunging it deep enough to secure a firm bold. Then remove the drumstick with one stroke of the knife, first cutting through the skin down to the joint, hitting it squarely. It is a little difficult to locate this joint, but by pressing the leg away from the side of the turkey it is readily found. It is claimed that the expert carver does not remove the fork from the breast until be has quite finished. Be that as it may, it is quite necessary to use the fork in separating the thigh from the "drumstick," and the "hip" is a favorite part with many. To accomplish this make a V shaped cut toward the joint, holding the thigh against the side of the turkey with the fork. The "drumstick" drops off neatly into the platter. The next stroke removes the wing. A deep cut through the ball and socket joint severs this with a part of the breast meat. To strike the joint square - A NEAT STROKE THROUGH THE BALL AND SOCKET JOLYT SEVERS THE WINO. ly the first time requires skill, though sometimes it is done very neatly by pure luck, and this calls forth most fa- vorable comment from the expectant and hungry assemblage. If the knife doesn't strike the joint at first, move it back and forth, pressing the wing away from the body, disclosing the ball of the joint, then a cut through and the wing is detached. When this process is completed, the disjointed portions are laid to one side of the platter or put on a separate plate to allow of free space for slicing the breast meat. Within recent years, especially in the south, house parties have become the rage, being especially popular with those who are so fortunate as to pos- sess suburban homes, and they are a delightful form of Thanksgiving enter- tainment. e.

We refer to the art of living amicably with others, says a writer in Good Housekeeping, Did we study to perfect ourselves in this as we do in music, painting- and the like we should be more than repaid. Certainly few things are more impor- tant. , - If one Is to live In the midst of his own family circle, he has need to be courteous, considerate, unselfish and tactful, and if one is so unfortunate as to be without family ties it is no less needful that he should be able to make himself a welcome and agreeable in- mate of another's home. One need not be friendless and for- lorn even if he is poor in the nearer and dearer ties of relationship. The amiable, agreeable and helpful mem- bers of society never fail to find a ready welcome. A lady who seems to have solved the problem of how to live amicably .in a most uncongenial atmosphere once told the secret of her success. When she was a young girl, her parents went abroad, leaving her with a cousin who had lately married. The cousin's wife and herself f 1 were as unlike as though they had been denizens of different planets, and, besides being uncongenial, they did not even like each other. But, to the young visitor's surprise, she found they got on together much more harmoniously than she and her own sis- ter, whom she dearly loved. On reflection she decided that the reason for the absence of disagree- ments and differences was due to the fact that neither felt at liberty to ex- press her mind to the other with the freedom in which members of the same family indulge. The restraint was wholesome and the result admirable. Indeed no better rule could be found than the one she evolved from her ex- perience—namely, to exercise some of the same restraint and courtesy in our Intercourse with our dearest that we do with mere acquaintances. DECORATIVE WORK. Embroidery In High Relief For Por- tieres and Large Articles. The accompanying design carried off the first prize in a competition for the most original idea in decorative work that should be effective and at the same time easily workable. This handsome a dsome d i es gn is intended for a portiere or a tablecloth cover. The work is executed on a white ground in two shades of green. The pattern, as will be seen from the illustration, is perfectly simple; but, unfortunately, pen and ink are quite unable to give an idea of the beauty of the high relief. The working is done with wools work- ed through and then cut so that they form a sort of soft cushion In the high relief. The method is similar to that PORTIERE DESIGN. used for making little woolly balls for children. It would be specially suit- able for any bold designs to be inspect- ed at a distance- At the same time It is quite fine enough to bear very close scrutiny. Sifting the Flour. Cake flour should always be sifted twice, first when it comes from the bar- rel and before it is measured, next when the baking powder or the soda has been added. 1f it is measured be- fore the first sifting, you will surely get too much of It for your cake's wel- fare.

THEY HAVE NO INFLUENCE WHAT- EVER UPON THE WEATHER. GRIFFIN BROS•, Queer Names the Sailors Give to the npaintable Food —Dog Chowder, 1.1;:. the Wind Soup, Topgallant Tea and Cow .tipper. Some ships are known as "mean ships" by sailors on account of the food that Is served to the forecastle. They are chiefly deep water sailing ships and tramp steamers. Of course what a sailor shall have to eat is pro- vided for by law, but the law some- times gets badly mixed up on blue wa- ter. The.strange dishes served to sail- ors on "mean ships" are no stranger than the names the sailors give them. 'One of the commonest of "mean ship" dishes is "by the wind soup." This delicacy is composed of well polished mutton bones, stale meat trimmings, a handful .of potato parings and scraps from the captain's table. The mixture is boiled vigorously for two hours, at the end of ,which time the result is hot water of a light brown color with float - tug islands of grease on its surface. A little hardtack is added, and there you have your -by the wind soup." When a "mean ship" gets well out to sea. one of the first dishes to appear is "dog chowder?' It is a sort of resur- rection puddiug, made of scraps that the cook does not dare to serve uP as they are, but which he Shreds finely or pounds in a mortar uutil all semblance of their original state iflost. The mass is well mixed with grease and served Grease plays an important part in all the "mean ship" dishes. Another stand- ard item on the bill of fare of these ships is "topgallant tea." It is served to the men in the dog watches, and the recipe for making it is this: Three times a week weak tea, made front fresh tea leaves, is served. The leaves are saved and mixed with the tea leaves from the captain's table. Brown sugar or molasses is added, end front the mixture is made a decoction which is served four days iu the week and which the sailors 'coil "topgallant tea." "Cow jipper" is a common dish on all "mean ships." It is made by boil- ing beef bones for six or seven hours with all the scraps left over from for- mer meals. The broth so obtained is well seasoned with salt and served out. Another dish is "jumping jenny,"some- times called "double belt pie," from the fact that the sailor has to take in a cottple of holes in his belt after eat - SI, :At in order to stay him until the ext meal.. It is the result of a week's leavings from the cabin table mixed with six or eight ship's biscuits and half an onion. It is not at all a nice dish, and a sailor with epicurean tastes always makes a row when the cook serves it. On some of the "western ocean" tramps a dish is served known to the sailors as "hide stew," and the tough- est old salt that ever was drunk on shore or mutinous at sea is subdued by it to a state ofjamblike 63cility, for it is sure to doable him up with indiges- tion and make him. think of the here- after. It is made front a collection of the skins of everythiug - pigs, pota- toes, fowl (froth the captain's table), bacon rind and well picked chicken legs. This is boiled for six hours and plenty of Ude!: grease -added..

In pr,tof of it he will tell you that he gives them pltim duff twice a week. The duff he gives them is known to the sailors as "brat -live duff." It is made from the scrapings of pudding cloths that once held the puddings consumed in port -when the captain gave his men real duff, so that they might not know that they had shipped on a "mean ship" and make a "plerhead jump" for liberty. These ,seraphigs are made bulky with biscuit paste and flavored with cloves. "Bowline duff" is the teast unpopular of all the dishes on the bill of fare of the "mean ship," and its actual cost is 2 cents for every three The Spoiled Child. Once upon a time a young kingfisher went to the father bird and asked for his fishing rod, that he might catch some choice trout he had seen in a nearby stream. "No!" answered the stern parent. The _young bird went his way aud in an hour returned dripping wet, saying that he had tried to catch he fish without a pole and had fallen into the water. "There!" said the mother bird to the father.

A belief prevails that the moon's phases and changes have a controlling , Influence over the weather, but so great an authority as Professor C. A. Young of Princeton has assured us that the moon has absolutely nothing to do with the weather. Such a belief is in the strict sense of the word a superstition -"mere sur- vival from a past credulity. It is quite certain that if there is auy Influence at all of the sort it is extretnely slight, so slight that ft cannot be demonstrat- ed with certainty, although numerous Investigations have been made express- ly for the purpose of detecting it. We have never been able to ascertain, for instance, with certainty whether It is warmer or not or less cloudy or not at the time of the full moon. Different in- vestigations have led to contradictory "As to the supposed 'connection be- tween 'changes of tbe moon' and changes of the weather, it should be enough to note that even within trIe United States the weather changes are not simultaneous (in Kansas and Maine, for instance), as they should be if they were due to the changing phases of the moon. Since, however, a change of the moon occurs every week, every weather change must necessarily occur within about three days and a half of lunar change, and half of them ought to fall within about forty -fire hours, even if perfectly inde- "Now, it requires only a very slight prepossession in favor of a belief in the effectiveness of the moon's changes to . make one forget a few of the weather changes that occur too far from the proper time. Coincidences enough can easily be found to justify a pre-existing belief." From a very remote antiquity, in the twilight of natural astrology, a belief arose that changes in the weather were Occasioned by the moon. That the be- lief still exists is clear to any one who is acquainted with current literature and common folklore. In fact. it must be admitted that even intelligent and well informed people have been known to accept the theory. The idea that the jyeather is affected by the changes in the moon is still held with great vigor in England, and one of our proverbs Is, "So many days old the moon Is on Michaelmas day, so many floods after." If it rains on St. Swale in's day, we are told to expect rain for forty days after. An equally wise pre- diction is that if Christmas comes (lur- ing a waxing moon we shall have a yery good year, and the nearer to the Moon the better, but if during a waning moon a hard year, and the nearer the end of the moon so much the worse. Another belief is that the condition of the weather depends upon the day of the week on which the new moon chances to fall. New 'noon on Monday, or moon day, is everywhere held as a sign of good weather. Friday's new moon is much disliked, while Saturday is unlucky for the new and Sunday for the full moon. In Scotland the farmers believe that a misty moon is a misfortune, and an agricultural maxim among them teach- es that If the moon shows like a eilver shield, You need not be afraid to reap your field, Hastings Popular Priced Clothiers.

ANIMALS IN A STORM. f hey Dislike the Wet Weather and Seek a Place of Safety. ; Both wild and tame animals, four footed or with wings. have a deep seat- ed aversion to wet weather. Even wa- ter fowl will seek a dry hiding place , when it rains. Did you ever watch the actions of ieattle before a big storm? If so, you must have seen them grow more and more uneasy as the clouds gathered. You also saw them run Up and down the field, as if seeking to escape some Impending danger.. Finally, when the !storm breaks, they draw close together and with lowered heads present a pic- ture of despair. Domestic animals when it rains will always keep indoors, or, failing that, Ihey will seek shelter by the barn or nder trees or beneath the hedges and thickets -in short. in any convenient place where they may not be entirely exposed to the downpour. It is the same with fowls. They dis- like the rain, which soaks their feath- Ors. They seek sheltered places and " creep under wagons, or behind boxes and boards. Chickens do not mind get- ting their feet wet, for they will scratch the ground soou after a shower in ilearch of worms and beetles. Wild birds do their best to keep out of the rain. Some of them build a roof over their nests; others choose a home under the eaves or under a projecting cliff, where they may be safe Provo the discomfort that the rain brings. But most of them, are without shelter provided in advance by their own fore- thought. These take refuge in any place that they happen to find at hand. If you watch them before. rite storm, you will see them looking for such a Place. If the storm comes suddenly, the small and helpless ones seem be- wildered, flying from tree to tree and from limb to litub, quite unable to make up their minds exactly where to hide themselves. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

After one of these articles had appeared he met Sheridan, who remarked: "So, you have been making fun of me in your blanked newspaper!" "Fun, general?" "Yes. You told all about those con- founded ambulances and paid no sort of respect to the commander of the army in which you are suffered to "There was no exaggeration in my story, sir.

To which the reporter replied, "All right, general, but I am afraid I shall not be out of your department even with his Satanic majesty." Electric Eels. Horses and mules are, or at one time were, made to play a curious part in the fishing operations of South Amer- ican Indians who eat the gymnotus electric eel. Humboldt was told that it was their custom to force horses to en- tetithe ponds in which these eels lived, and when the fish had exhausted on the animals their ability for the time being to inflict a shock the fishermen caught them with nets and harpoons, secure from risk themselves. The more excited and angry the electric eel, the more violent is the shock it inflicts. Humboldt saw this curious fishing on one Occasion: "A finop of horses and mules was driven into the water and prevented from coming out by the In- dians, who crowded round the pool. The eels, stunned and confused by the noise of the horses, defended them- selves by the repeated discharge of their batteries. For a long time they seemed likely to gain the victory over the animals, which were to be seen in every direction, stunned by the fre- quency and force of the electric shocks, to disappear under the water. Some of the horses rose again and in spite of the vigilance of the Indians gained the shore, exhausted; with fatigue, and their limbs being benumbed by the electric commotious they stretched themselves at full length upon the ground. In less than five minutes two horses were al- ready drowned." A Civil Word. A French king once said: "If a civil word or two will make a man happy, he must be a churl indeed who would not give them to him." If this feeling were acted on, bow much haispier the world would be! We may say of this kindly tfrnper that it is like lighting another man's candle by one's own, which loses none of its light by what the other gains. Knows Enough to Keep Still.

Dealer -That's what I meant when I spoke of his intelligence. -Boston Trait - Script. Another weather guide connected with the moon is that to see "the old moon in the arms of the new moon" is reck- oned a sign of fair weather, and so is lite turning up of the horns of the new moon. In this position it is supposed to retain the water which is imagined to be in it and which would run out if the horns were turned down. The country people in Scotland fore- tell the changes of the weather from the changes in the appearance of the new moon. If she "lies sair on her back," it is a sure sign of bad weather, or when her horns are pointed toward the zenith. At Whitby when the moon is sur- rounded by a halo with watery clouds the seamen say that there will be a change in the weather, for the "moon dogs" are about. There is also a belief prevalent among sailors and seafaring men that when a large star or planet is seen near the moon or, as they express it, "a big star Is dogging the moon," this is a certain sign of stormy weath- Unquestionably: We are better prepared than ever to serve your most urgent de- mands for Men's and Boy's Wear- ing Apparel.

Some people -wear their eyeglasses or spectacles to bed, for the simple reason that they cannot sleep without them on; at least that's what an optician says, and he ought to know, for confessions were recently made to him upon the point. A woman had repeatedly come to him with the bows of her spectacles- so badly twisted that he asked her how under the sun she ever managed to get them in such a state. He says that he had visions of some childish hands having a part in the work, some little one that liked to play with mamma's glasses. But the woman said that she bad been wearing glasses so much of re- cent years that finally she had taken to wearing them to bed as the only way of getting to sleep. She said that it was only within the past few weeks that she had had any trouble from the custom, as -she ordinarily managed to keep the front part of her face off the pillow; but lately she must have had bad sleep, with more or less night- mares. Of his customers he has two who have been addicted to this habit of wearing glasses to bed, both for the same reasons. Imagine some people trying to wear glasses to bed and the cohditions of things in the morning. - Boston Herald. Popping With a Pipe. Among the Tchulian Tartars a cu- rious mode of "popping the question - is reported. The Tchuliau 02lebs in search of a wife, having filled a brand new pipe with fragrant tobacco, stealthily enters the dwelling of the fair one upon whom he has bestowed his affections, deposits the pipe upon a conspicuous article of furniture and retires on tiptoe to some convenient hiding place in the neighborhood, local etiquette requiring • that he should execute this strategic movement ap- parently undetected by the damsel of his choice or any member ot' her Presently he returus without further affectation of secrecy and looks into the apartments in a casual sort of way. A single glance at the pipe he left behind him enables him to learn the fate of his proposal. If it has been smoked, be goes forth an accepted and exultant bridegroom; if not, the offer of his hand and heart has been so irrevocably rejected as not to be worth even a pipe of tobacco. No Tick There. "No doubt you see that I am one of the diffident men," observed the drum- mer, "one of the sort who don't com- pare watches with the town clock and tell everybody for a block around that the clock is seven minutes off. I was up in a Massachusetts town a few weeks ago, aud I had to make a cer- tain train or loss a thousand dollar or- der. I looked at my watch and in a furtive way compared it with the town clock. It looked to me as if there was a big difference between the two, but I decided to go by the clock. I went into three or four places, loafed around and was killing time when an acquaint- ance came along and said: " 'I thought you were going to make that 2:30 train?' " 'This afternoon, of course.' " `By your town clock. I've got half an hour yet.' " 'Oh, you have!' be laughed. 'Well, let me tell you that our clock hasn't been running for a week, and you have lost your train by an hour atul a quar- Sponge Fishing.

A nouveau riche recently attended a picture sale. .A friend who had noticed him at the sale asked afterward, "Did you pick up anything at that picture sale, Jorkins?" and the other respond- ed: "Oh, yes; a couple of landscapes. One of 'em was a basket of fruit and the other a storm at sea." -Boston Com- mercial Bulletin.

"Oh, the pleasure of eating alone!" wrote Charles Lamb in one of his most expansive letters. We are not quite sure how serious he was in the exclamation. But change "eating" into "traveling," and there may be found thousands who will echo the cry. Thackeray thought there was nothing to equal it. Louis Stevenson, in the Cevennes, made the same discovery, for Isis donkey cannot be said to count. Jean Paul Richter, though he did not live in touring times, was too accom- plished an individualist (of the senti- mental kind) not to harp on this music- al string. "I hold the constant regard that we pay in all our actions to the I judgment of others as the poison of out peace, our reason and our virtue." Translated into plainer speech, Richter's words may read thus, "Unless you can ! have your own way life is but a poison- ed puddle." Curzon, Stanley, De Windt, Miss Kingsley, Landor and a host of smallei I men and women have acted on the same assumption. And as in target travel, better known as exploration, se also in the less stately yet more pleas, urable "trips" of common life.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY NOV. 23d, 1901. Minnesota Journalism, S. A. Clark has become assistant editor and business manager of The Sauk Rapids Sentinel. G. C. E. Goetze, of The Carver Journal, is going to Alaska, leaving his paper in charge of H. D. Meyer. H. B. Wakefield has: sold The Hutchinson Times to B. 4. Day, of The Independent, who will consoli- date the two papers. The board of control has placed $3,500,000 insurance upon state buildings, at a rate of one per cent for three years with the exception- of the prison,which is higher on account of the twine plant. The university, soldiers' home, and agricultural school prefer to place their own policies. Our asylum has -$35,000 upon it, $5,000 less than that at Anoka. Gov. Van Sant will invite the gov- ernors of states having laws similar to Minnesota, prohibiting the consoli- dation of parallel and competing lines of railroad, to join in a move- ment to defeat the great combination knowu as the Northern Securities Company. Gov. Van Sant announces his in- tention of taking a hand in the pro- posed. combination of the Great Northern. Northern Pacific, and Burlington roads, but it will take something more than newspaper in- terviews to block the game. The criticisms upon the awards for supplies made by the board of con- trol last quarter have proved timely and good. as it is now given out that ninety-two per cent of the purchases this quarter are from Minnesota firms. Let the work go on. When the new state capitol is com- pleted the heirs of Charles Bazille `will claim the old grounds, their point being that the site was donated by him for the purpose of maintaining a capitol thereon and for none other. There seems to be a general dis- position among our saloon keepers to comply- with the new ordinance in relation to screens, although some of them do not appear to fully under- stand all the requirements as yet. The board of control has bought two tons of chewing and over half a ton of smoking tobacco for the state institutions. Our asylum gets two hundred pounds of the former anti a hundred of the latter. The warehouse of the People's Storage Company in St. Paul was burned on Tuesday, with property belonging to four hundred people. Loss $150.000; nearly covered by insurance. The state officials burned $70,000 of railroad bonds on Tuesday,. and $75,000 more will be called in at once. There are now $1,200,000 outstanding, for which no consideration was ever received. The commissioners of Ramsey Countyhave a ve appropriated $1,900 to dig a well at White Bear and pump water into the lake, in the hope of restoring it to the former level. A Minneapolis lad was committed to the training school at Red Wing last week for truancy, under the law passed last winter. This is the first case on record. The state board of health reports two hundred and sixteen new cases of small pox in the past two weeks, mostly in the northern part of Min- nesota. The game of foot ball at Madison on Saturday between the universities of Minnesota and Wissonsin was won by the latter, score eighteen to nothing. Capt. S. D. Van Gorder, a pioneer resident of Winona, -died last Satur- day evening of paralysis, aged sixty- four years. The increasing list of fatalities in the woods is having a depressing effect upon the deer hunters. The two sewer pipe companies at Red Wing have consolidated, with a capital stock of $500,000. The Third Ward Republican Club will bring forward C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, member of the board of state railway and warehouse com- missioners, for governor. Resolu- tions pledging support to his candi- dacy were prepared for introduction at the annual meeting last night, but because of an election of officers and other work of organization they were delayed until another meeting.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, 21st.

At the meeting of the state board of control at the prison yesterday it was decided to pay over to the state treasurer the additional sum of $109,914.99 collected on account of binder twine sales. Since the first of January the cash sales of binder twine at the state prison and the collections on notes have footed up $432,971.14. There is yet outstand- ing on account of twine the amount of $76,172.31, making a grand total of $509,143.55.

Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. There are many causes of get- ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over- work and under -digestion. Stop over -work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it—true—but, by it, you can.. There's a limit, however; you'll pay for it. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat," unless it comes of your doing no work --you can't long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.

Lewis, of Hastings, formerly state superin- tendent, was greeted with enthusiasm. Prof. Lewis is heartily in favor of football as an athletic sport for high school students. He maintained that the principal must take active interest in it. He must not allow physically weak boys to engage in it, and be must insist that the right kind of a coach be provided. The game should be played scientifically and those who violate the rules, for the purpose of causing hurt, should be punished. The game has lived from ancient times because it has in it the elements of perfect physical exercise. The mind is trained to alertness and every part of the body is brought into action. The number of injuries wrought is comparatively small com- pared with the number playing. The game is apparently dangerous through its roughness, but if played scientifi- cally there is not near the danger generally imagined. In Minnesota there are on an average during the season eighty thousand boys playing for one hour. There has not been one fatality as the result of foot ball in the state. There are probably a million in the United States, and yet the deaths from it number but five. Other sports cannot show a better rate than that. Foot ball prepares a sturdy set of young men for life's battles, and under the restrictions of the principal, parents, and physician should be encouraged. It is sport admirably suited to school life— Rochester Democrat. A delegation from South St. Paul, in Dakota County, and J. M. Cree, of St. Paul Park, were before the board asking for an appropriation to plank a bridge between South St. Paul and Newport, in this county, the property of the Belt Line Railroad, which company has agreed to make it a free bridge on those terms. The present toll aggregates $2,500 a year. The cost of the repairs is estimated at $3,000, although the present planking will last for two years long- er. These gentlemen ask that this county and Dakota County join drives and obligate themselves to keep the bridge in repair. As near as could be learned, or rather in- ferred, from remarks made by indi- vidual members of the board, the scheme will fail.—Stillwater Gazette. Abram Pierce was called to Hast- ings this morning by a serious in- jury to his son, Joseph Pierce. The later has a pair of unruly mules, and one of these kicked Mr. Pierce yesterday with such painful results that Mrs. Pierce was compelled to send word to the father in Rochester. While quite apprehensive the relatives here are somewhat in the dark as to the full extent of the injury. Joseph Pierce formerly resided here and attended the city schools. He has a wife and three children at Hastings, the present home of the family.— Rochester Globe, 15th. The first collection of inheritance tax in Rice County under the new law was made last- Saturday by the county treasurer in the estate of the late James Murphy, which has just been probated. The estate invento- ried $18,054.13. The law exempts $5,000, and a tax of one per cent was levied on the remainder. A discount of five per cent is allowed for pay- ment inside of six months, making $124.01 which was paid to the county treasurer. The inheritance tax is turned into the state revenue fund.— Faribault Pilot. After the regular meeting of the executive council of the Minnesota Historical Society, at the capitol last evening, J. V. Brower read an ad- dress on the prehistoric village of Kathio, which existed at the outlet of Mille Lacs. Mr. Brower stated that Kathio was a thriving village of Sioux.

Those normal schools are costing the taxpayers yearly for support $137,000, besides the several thou- sands asked for yearly to put up new buildings or repair the old ones, :pad very occasionally extras for bake ovens, heating pipes, new kitchens, or dormitories, many of which are continuously asked for. They are a costly nuisance, as the many high schools of the state turn out better and forty times as many teachers as the normals.— Waseca Radical, There is more or less talk about a successor for Dar Reese as clerk of the supreme court. What's the mat- ter with practicing a little civil ser- vice and giving the honors and emolu- ments of this place to the man who has been the clerk de facto a good many years? J. L.

E. Lee, of the board of control, says it was a mistake to make the Anoka andasti g H n e institutions asylums for the chronic insane, and not hospitals. Mr. Lee is right. These institutions increased the ex- pense of caring for the insane, in- stead of reducing it. Under the present system the patients from Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth must be first sent to either Fergus Falls, Rochester, or St. Peter, and then after they have remained there long enough to be classed as chronic they are transferred to Anoka or Hastings. If the two asylums were converted into hospitals they could care for the unfortunate insane in their territory, and there would be a tremendous saving in the cost of transportation, and also yp the ex- pense of relatives desiring to visit the patients at the hospitals.—St. Cloud Journal -Press.

Mrs. Betsey Blake cried in al- most tearful vexation as she stepped backward from the stove and with a rueful face regarded a thin stream of water trickling from a crack low down on the side of the wash boiler and sputtering into a cloud of steam on the hot stove. "John," she called in a voice full of trouble, "the o'iler's leakin' like mad, an' it looks as if just nothin' short of a tinker could stop it." Iter husband came into the kitchen from the woodshed at a leisurely pace and with an air- of confidence in his ability to cope with any number of leaky boilers. But as be examined the irregular fissure his face tool; on a puz- zled and then a more serious expres- sion. "Maybe you might stiel; a rag into it." lie suggested. "No. not in such a shaped hole as that," she said decisively and began dipping the water- out into a pail. "You've got to take it to the village an' have it soddered, an' that's all there is about it. It'll just spoil the day, so I can't wash afore tomorrow, an' that'll put back my Thanksgivin' work.. Hain't it too bad? Dear me, I most wish we hadn't asked father an' mother an' Abigail to come." "Well, I'in sorry it's happenetr. so, but never mind. You'll fetch things round all right. You gec'al!y do," said he, so confidently that her spirits rose above the present disanpointmeet. "I can do some of tomorrow's wort: today au' be so much ahead," she said, and before be was on his way she bad half a pumpkin pared and stewing in the place of the boiler. Next morning the mended boiler was reinstated. By noon the delayed wash- ing was completed, and Betsy Blake looked out complacently from her be- lated dinner upon the long array of spotless clothes fluttering from the swaying line like triumphant banners. In the afternoon a part of the ironing was done. and the next morning she "TWO WHOLE DAYS AFORE THANKSGIVIN' TO GIT OCIOD AN' 3EADY IN arose refreshed and with a sense of re- lief from one great labor of the week. "There!" she exclaimed, sitting down for a moment's rest after clearing the breakfast table, washing the dishes and sweeping the kitchen. "Thank good- ness, washlie day is over an' some of the !rotate done, an' now it's only Tues- day, with two whole days afore Thanks givin' to git good an' ready in." "Hey? What?" John asked abstract- edly, with his eyes on the columns of the last paper, absorbed in an editorial an the Philippines. "Two more days afore Thanksgiv- In'," Betsey repeated. "Why, yes; so there is," said he, look- ing up at the clock as if for confirma- tion. "I was kind of Makin' this was Wednesday, but couldn't make it seen just right" "Of course it's Tuesday, for I washed yesterday," said she, with convincing as.urance. "An' nole I'm goin' to maze my eramb'ry sass an' my mince an' ap- ple pies. I shall leave my pumpkin pies for tomorrow, fig I want 'em fresh. This afternoon you'd better kill the tnrkey an' dress him, so't he'll have a good long spell to hang. They're heaps better so than they be to fly into the oven. An' then tomorrow you can git Silas an' go arter your load of wood. Ifebby you can git two." As Johnillake drove his lumber bn along the road the next morni his way to the wood lot he noticed an indolent atmosphere seemed t rade the few farmhouses whit passed. but. It only impressed h a rather early sign of the coming day. He found Silas Day cutting fire at his door, looking somewhat su ed at his appearance and more the request to go to the woods. "Wby,.yes, I s'pose I can go an you a spell," he answered, "arter Pbebe a speck more wood. She'll consid'able today." "Yes, gettln' ready so for Th givin.' Betsy is, too; busy as a in a tar barrel." Presently they were jolting ove rough byroad, too much shaken comfortable conversation until came to a halt in the quiet of the November woods. "I don't hardly see how you co put off gittin' your wood till tot' said Silas, looking up through the ted branches at the climbing sun. "Weil, 1 had a lot of things to to an' couldn't get roun' to it. I s' I might ha' waited till arter Tha givin', but thought I might as wel it afore." Silas stared at him and mutt "Runnin'. pretty clus fir the win should think." After they had plied their awhile John stuck his into a log going to his coat, drew a package f a pocket. "I always did relish victuals in woods, an' so I fetched along s bread an' meat. Let's set down an' t a bite." "Well, I can most always eat," S assented as he took his allotted sh and sat down beside his compan munching the bread and meat and ting his eyes rove about as people apt to do when eating out of doors. A company of chickadees .were b gathering their slender fare on a branch before him, and on a hig one a red squirrel began rasping a b ernut.

John asi xcitedly as the mellow tones of hurch bell were wafted to their ears "Why, don't they always?" Si sked, glaring curiously at his co anion. "Why, Silas, you know they do ever, only Sundays an' fast days a hanksgiviu', except funerals, an' the n't nobody dead, not as I know of." "Look a -here, John Blake," said Si - s, "be you crazy or be you fooliu'? ou act all the time as if you was akin' b'lieve this wa'n't Thanksgivin' ay, sot by the gov'nor an' bean' key' y everybody but you an' I.

To make almond drops stir until creamy half a cup of butter; then stir into it half a: cup of powdered sugar; add the yolks of three eggs, putting in one at a time and thoroughly mixing before the next one is added. Blanch and cut into shreds one cup of almonds and add to the mixture. Sift one and a half cups of flour and stir gently with the other ingredients. Sift some powdered sugar into a soup plate, take a teaspoonful of the cake mixture aud roll in the sugar. Place the sugared balls upon buttered tins, leaving a space between Mein. Lay half of a blanched almond on the top of each ball and bake in a moderate oven a delicate color. Another drop nut cake hi made thus: Have two cups of shelled peanuts or any kind of nuts and chop them rather fine. Take one cup of sugar, add two tablespoonfuls of butter and stir to a cream. Put in the yolks of three eggs. adding one at a time and beating well. Then stir in half a cup of milk and a pinch of salt. Add a little sifted flour and the nut meats, then the whites of the eggs beaten light and enough flour to make a dough that will drop from the spoon, lyat not run. Drop in spoon- fuls upon a buttered tin and bake in a moderate oven. Walnuts served with whipped cream make an esssellent dessert. Drop Eng- lish walnut meats into boiling salted water and cook ten minutes; then turn them out to drain. Make a sirup of equal parts of granulated sugar and water and put the drained meats into It and let them slowly, simmer over the back of the fire half an hour. Turn them into a glass dish and serve per- fectly cold with whipped cream. To serve chestnuts with cream for desserts remove the shells and skins from the large imported chestnuts and boil them in water until tender. Then put them iu a rich hot sirup and cook until clear. Take from the fire and let the nuts remain in the sirup until cold. Drain the nuts out and pile them upon a dish. Cook the sirup down until very thick and pour over the nuts.

Some women to whose skin glycerin is unsuitable use the following prepa- ration to prevent wrinkles: One ounce of wool fat, one ounce of white wax, one ounce of spermaceti, one ounce of olive oil and a quarter of an ounce of camphor gum. The camphor gum should be dissolv- ed in the oil. Add everything else, warm until the mass is melted; then beat until cold. Use the cream on re- tiring.

"In the first place, you must remember that the Amanita phalloides, or deadly iigaric, closely resembles the Agaricus campestris, or edible fungus, which is our common variety and absolutely In- nocuous. Next, it will be necessary to fix firmly in your mind the distinguish- ing marks or characteristics of the Agaricus campestris, which are these: A pileus not covered with excrescence - like scales; gills of a brownish purple when mature; stalk solid and approxi- mately cylindrical; ring near the mid- dle of stalk; base not bulbous and not sheathed by membrane. The distin- guishing characteristics ef the Amanita phalloides, or deadly agaric, are these: Pileus destitute of distinct excres- cences; white gills, hollow stalk; large ring and prominent bulb at base, with membranous upper margin. Bearing these points of differentiation fully in mind you will never be at a loss to determine which variety you encounter in any given case."

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SATS: BALTIMORE, Md., March 3o, rem Gen/Yemen — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my rig'nt ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num- ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.

ONE OF THE PROMINENT PLACES IN THE CITY OF MEXICO. Any Policeman WIll Show Von the Way to It nod Von May There Pur- chase Stolen Goods by the Single Piece or by the Carload. If you want to know the time in the City of Mexico; if you need house- hold goods, objects of art or of per- sonal adornment; in fact, If there is anything you desire from a pincushion to a redhot stove—just ask a police- man. He w ill point the way to the thieves' market without any more idea of laws that deal with those who receive stol- en goods than if you had asked him the way to the best hotel in the city or to one of the theaters or to the National palace. The official of the law will not hesitate to tell you that it is directly across the street from the National pal- ace, east of the Zocalo—the park of the peons—and that If you are timid about the size of the load you wish to take there the gate is large enough to drive the biggest truck through without in- convenience. It is a very simple mat- ter to find the thieves' market. It is no small establishment, but a city institution, with a court as large as a city block, and it Is crowded from morning to night with those who are looking for bargains without the slight- est ilea of moral wrong In buying stol- en goody. Indeed it is stated that now and then persons find property once be- longing to them exposed there for sale at prices so reasonable that it would be absurd to go to law about it and lay up against the delightful convenient "manana" the trouble of appearing in court. The market is just what its name im- hlies—a thieves' market, where moths do not corrupt, because there Is always a stream of purchasers for goods at ri- diculous prices. Nothing remains in stock over a few days. Spread out on tables or piled high on the ground can be found samples of almost anything; for the Mexican ratero is not partic- ular what he steals. The thieves do not themselves act as the salesmen, for this would be dishonest evEt n to the Mexican mind. They dispose of their. plunder either for a lump sum or take a commission from the sellers. There is no assortment of goods as to class or kind. It is a case of pick and choose. Crockery, cutlery, tinware and cooking utensils are the main sta- ples, for the Mexican_ is careless, and kilt thieves of his kind find -this sort of Itiund"r easy to get and with a ready market. The proprietor of one of the well known local restaurants admits that nearly all.. his knives, forks and table linen ' come from the thieves' market. He makes it a point regularly to visit there to replenish what may have been stolen from his own place. But it is perhaps in the line of curi- osities, books and objects of art that the thieves' market is most Interesting. The libraries of the monks, scattered in the war of reform, are represented now and then. The thieves, of course, know nothing of the value of the books- Recently a folio of Shakespeare, bound in vellum, in splendid condition. notwithstanding the. long ago date of its publication, was picked up by a book lover for $1.50 in Mexican silver. Several bibliophiles of the United States have regular agents in the thieves' market. and it pays -them. With Masiailian and his court many rare works of art cause to Mexico. In the rush away from Mexico these were left behind. Within the last month a fan, beyond doubt by Watteau, was bought in the thieves' market for $S. The painting is still bright, the lace ex- quisite and rare, and the ivoty sticks, inlaid witb gold, are still intact. Mexico's many wars have made the country an arsenal of obsolete weap- ons. Swords, guns and firearms from the time of Cortes to the present dec- ade can be picked up in the thieves' market for little or nothing. Some of them, outside of their value as curios, are of intrinsic worth. as an American discovered not loug ago. He bought for a trifle an old sword, tarnished and dirty. The style of the hilt pleased him. When he had it cleaned, he found filet scabbard, hilt and blade were in- laid with rich gold of marvelous ar- tistic design.—City of Mexico Letter In New York Times. The Last Nickel. The Philadelphia Record tells of a little Sunday school boy who always receives a nickel from his father to place in the collection plate. Last Sun- day his father gave him two nicliels, saying, "One is for the Lord, and the other is for yourself." As it was too early to start for Sunday school the little boy sat on the porch steps, play- ing with the two nickels. After awhile he dropped one of them, and it disap- peared down a crack. Without a mo- ment's hesitation and still clutching the remaining coin in his clinched fist, be looked up at his father, exclaiming, "Oh, pop, there goes the Lord's nickel!" oils.

That our ancestors were not so well managed as we are is evident from the following rules, which were laid down by Tommasin von Zirkler, a German poet, in regard to the conduct of a host and is guest at a dinner party. These singular maxims were recently un- earthed and have now been reprinted: "Every host sboild take care that his guests have enough to eat and that they are not served with dishes that they do not want. In return the guests should behave properly and should be satisfied with whatever is placed be- fore them. "A guest should not eat all his bread before the first dishes are served, nei- ther should he eat with both bands nor drink nor talk when bis mouth is full. "It is not polite to turn toward one's neighbor and to offer hint a winecup from which one is still drinking. "One should not eat greedily and hastily, as though the dinner had been paid for, neither should one take any food from his neighbor's plate. In a. word, each person should accept what is offered and ask for nothing else. "When there is some one on the right band, it -is permissible to eat wi,h the left hand. "While one is drinking the eyes should be steadily fixed on the wine- cup. "It is improper to place one's hand in a dish while another person is taking some food from it. "One should always have the bands clean'and the nails cut short, as other- wise those persons who are eating from the same dish are likely to become dis- gusted. "A guest should never put his el- bows on the table, neither should he , chatter all the time nor clean his teeth with a knife."—Chicago Herald. FLOWER AND TREE. Tobacco water will destroy bugs and worms on rosebushes. Only well rotted manure should be allowed to come in contact with the roots of trees. Don't try to transplant a cyclamen after the bulb bus begun to throw up green leaves. If you do, you will lose your bulb. Vines may be set in the spring and also in the fall. It is said the clematis does best if set in the latter season, while the wistaria, honey suci:le and Ja- pan Ivy are by preference to be planted in the spring. One reason why plants often do not succeed in window culture is the want of moisture in the air. Anything that tends to supply this lack is so much gained. On this account plants often do best in the kitchen window. The petals of a single flower fall sooner than do those of a double one for the reason that the inner petals are transformed more slowly and retain the power of adherence they need when performing their original func- tion. There Was a Tale to It. The girl at the music counter has some funny experiences. For instance, the other day a well dressed woman bustled up to the music department of a great store and said in a loud voice: "Have you got a piece of music called 'The Crocodile's Tail?' " "No, madam," answered the clerk. "We have one called"— "But you had it here .ast week. I saw it," she interrupted. "It is from 'The Burgomaster,' and I want it to- day."Y " "Are you sure that is the name of it?" asked the clerk. "Yes, that's the name. I remember it distinctly. Are you sure you haven't got it?" "We have one called `The Tale of the kangaroo,' from `The Burgomaster,' " volunteered the clerk, and after some hesitation on the part of the customer "The Tale of the Kangaroo" was sold. {{I —New York Ilerald.

Heaven only knows why, for certainly the people are not so keen about the profitable use of their time that they require to be reminded thus of its flight. The habit is apt to be irritating, especially in the night, when your bed, like enough a straw mattress and a bran pillow, chances to be near one of these monsters which dings its four and twenty strokes at midnight, with a pause between the dozens which merely stimulates expectation. If there are five clocks in the establishment, all with sonorous works—and the supposi- tion is reasonable—they will, of course, differ widely, so that twenty-four may be striking, with intervals, during a maddening half hour. You ivay happen to want to know badly which one of the monsters is the least mendacious, and the bells at your bed head communicate with t yo serv- ants, one a Gallego and the other a Portuguese. In such a case ring for the despised stranger without hesitation. He will be with you in a minute, fresh and smiling, though half naked, and if he distrusts his own judgment about the clocks he will not mind saying so and hasten to awaken the landlord himself rather than -that you should remain in doubt. I regret to add that his more conceit- ed fellow servant will more probably say whatever first comes to bis tongue, more heedful of his own comfort than of your desires.—Chambers' Journal. The Last Gladiatorial Combat. Gladiatorial games were prohibited by au edict of the Emperor Constan- tine in A. D. 325, but from some cause, probably the loudly expressed disap- probation of the people, the edict was allowed to fall into disuse, and its pen- alties were never visited on its vio- lators. During the reign of Honorius the defeat of the Goths in Italy was celebrated by games, but in the midst of the fights in the amphitheater of Vespasian a monk named Telemachus found bis way into the arena and part- ed the combatants with a large pro- cessional cross. The populace swarmed over the bar- ricades and tore the monk to pieces, but the moral effect of the heroic act was permanent, and in A. D. 404 an imperial edict abolished gladiatorial sports in the Coliseum and shortly aft- er throughout the Roman empire. The fight stopped by Telemachus was the last in the Coliseum, and that structure is now consecrated to the honor of Telemachus and the Christian martyrs who perished in the persecutions by Nero and other emperors. Two Cruel Punishments. The gantlope, or gantlet, was mili- tary and naval punishment for theft. A man had to run the gantlet of a long file of his fellow soldiers, each provided with a switch, and to prevent the sinner going too- rapidly and to see that no man, impelled by motives of friendliness or kindness, failed to strike hard, a sergeant walked backward, fac- ing the said sinner, with a halberd pointed at the latter's breast. After a lengthy experiment this was found to be inconfenient and degrad- ing, so recourse avas had to another method, a variety of the same species of torture. The offender was tied to four halberds, three in a triangle and a fourth across. The regiment or com- pany then filed off, the cat-o'-nine-tails was placed in the bands of the first man, who gave the culprit a lash and passed on, handing the cat to the sec- ond, who also gave a lash, and so the game went merrily on until the offense had been expiated.—London Graphic. tie was Too Slow.

Here comes a gorgeously clad lady riding a donkey, her husband by her side. She rices straddle legs, but round her is drawn a t embroidered petticoat, ,displaying all its beauties when riding, her face is painted and powdered, her lower lip is one large daub of vermil- lion, and her wonderfully dressed hair Is shining with grease and gum. She wears no hat, however hot the day, but she carries a fan or an oil paper parasol, and she looks very glum as the barbarian passes, for he is not sup- posed to see her, though very probably she stoops and chatters to her lord and 1/easter once he is well out o1' the way. Next there comes a shentzu--that is, a long chair with a hood hung between two mules walking tandem fashion. Sometimes there is another gayly dress- ed woman in it, sometimes a magis- trate or other grandee, but oftenest of all come the shrieking, creaking wheel- barrows, the universal vehicle cl' Chi- na. The wheel is in the mid+"e, and there is a seat on eituer side, and the way those tortured wheels cry out is ex- cruciating—the air is full of the sohnd. The Chinaman cannot be prevailed up- on to grease them. In the first place, he is economical and would not waste the grease, and in the next be looks upon a silent wheel with suspicion. "Would you have him going like a thief'?" he asks plaintively. Nevertheless these wheelbarrows are the only wheeled vehicles, and a cooly will wheel two men and their baggage easily. The bishop of northern China declares be has traveled thousands of miles on a wheelbarrow.—Empire Re- view. THE FIRST CAMERA. it Was Invented by an Italian In the Stzteenth C,-nt:,: , The cemera was it. ,cd by an_Ital- ian named Baptista Porta, though it was not at first used fur photograph- ing. It was in reality merely a dark room, into whicl the light was adi ted through a little round hole in one side. The rays of light coming from objects outside of this room entered it through this aperture and made a pic- ture on the other side of the room glow- ing in all the beauty and color of na- ture itself, but rather indistinct and upside down. This dark room was contrived by Por- ta about the middle of the sixteenth century. He improved it later by plac- ing a glass lens in the aperture and outside a mirror which received the raysof light and reflected them through the lens so that that image upon the opposite wall within was made much brighter, more distinct and in a natu- ral or erect position. This was really the first camera obscura, an invention which is enjoyed to the present day, being situated often upon a hilltop, wbere a picturesque country surround- ing inay be reflected through a lens which is placed in the center of the conical roof. Now, our modern photographic cam- era Is merely a small comers obscura In its simplest form, carrying a lens at one end and a ground glass screen at the other. It is, however, often much more complicated in its construction. Shopping In Athens. In his volume on "Modern Athens," George Horton says that shopping in the Greek capital is a more elaborate, time consuming and minute process even than with us. "The oriental method of doing business still prevails. The dealer sets a price, the buyer an- other, and often three or four hours of patient will contest pass before a com- promise is reached. The patron asks, 'How much 1s this piece of silk?' 'One dollar a yard,' is the reply. 'Thirty cents' is offered. Tlie merchant is thrown into something resembling an apoplectic fit. He swears by bis fa- ther's soul that it cost 95 cents. "The lady takes a seat with a sigh and after twenty minutes inquires in- nocently, 'Finally, 30 cents?"'Never! But to keep you and not lose your cus- tom, you may have it for what I paid, 95 cents.' 'You poor thing!' sighs the lady sarcastically. There are a dozen or more women sitting about the store. When finally the proprietor comes down to a price that one is willing to pay, she rises, receives her bundle and departs, declaring good naturedly that she bad been swindled and that she Will never come back again." A Question of Ownership. "Are you xhe man who advertises 'Own your own home?' " said the de- jected looking caller. "I am." answered the real estate dealer. "Well, I'd like to get the recipe." "The what?" "The recipe. The modus operandi. I Want to know wbat to do to own my own home. Our cook has a temper like a raging lion and muscles like Her- cules.

"Ninety-nine women out of every hundred, ninety -n: ,e cooks out of ev- ery hundred, will bake a turkey with the back to the pan," said a New Or- leans man who keeps in touch with the kitchen, "and this is a mistake. A fa- mous french cook I know never thinks of baking a turkey with the breast up. The breast is turned to the bottom of the pan and btsteacl of being dry and tasteless when it is served is richly fla- vored and as sweet and juicy as one would care to have it. You see, all the fine flavoring of the turkey, the juices of the dressing and all the daintier touches flow down toward the breast of the fowl, and when the white meat is served you get the full benefit of ev- ery flavor added during the processes of preparing and baking the turkey, in addition to the distinctive taste of the fowl itself. "Inconvenient and awkward! Not at all. It is just as easy to cook a turkey in this way as in any other way, and the result is infinitely more satisfac- tory. It is no trouble to arrange the fowl in the pan. If you desire to place the fowl on the table before carving it, you -will find that it will look quite as well.as it would if baked in the usual way, and certainly it will taste much better than it would if you baked the breast until it was dry and flavorless." —New Orleans Times -Democrat. Snails Are Queer Creatures. The snail is found everywhere, 3,332 species being known, serving in France as an important item of diet and in this country an attractive inhabitant of the fernery. Some of the large trop- ical snails, as bunnies, form nests of leaves, their eggs being as large as a pigeon's. The snail is extremely skillful in mending its shell, and some curious ex- periments may be tried with them. Thus I have seen a helix of a yellow species attached to another shell of a reddish hue by cutting off the top whirl of the latter, when the snail will pro- ceed to weld the two shells together and occupy both, using the addition as a door and possibly wondering at this sudden extension of its house. In the winter some of the snails hi- bernate or lie dormant until warm weather, just as the snakes do in Cali- fornia. A snail of the Philippine Is- lands has a faculty of throwing off its tail when seized. This is also true of a West Indian variety—stenonbus . • Spiders' Webs. The webs of those spiders which spin snares out of doors, as the geometrical garden spider, are formed of two sorts of silk, one of which is used for the main cables and the radiating threads, the other for the concentric threads. The latter are thickly studded with � minute globules of a viscous substance, which retains the fly, gnat or moth that may blunder against them, while the former are quite dry and harmless. A. third kind of silk is produced by the busy little spinner when some such large insect as a wasp has become en- tangled in the web and threatens to break the delicate structure in its strug- gles. This takes the Corfu of an envel- oping mass, which is suddenly produc- ed and which effectually prevents any further gyrations on the part of the captured insect.—Cornhill Magazine. A Giant Tree. Near Dakar, in lower Senegal, is an enormous baobab tree whose trunk measures fully seventy-five feet in cir- cumference at the base. The fruit of the baobab, which grows abundantly in Senegal, is called "monkey bread." It is used by the natives for curdling milk and as a specific for certain dis- eases. Decoctions of the dried leaves are also used as medicine. From the bark strong cords are made, and the gum that exudes from it is employed as a salve. The root of the young bao- bab is sometimes eaten by the natives. • A Household Sandbag. A sandbag is a very useful thing to have in the house. Dry the sand thof•- oughly in the oven and then make a flannel bag about eight inches square. Fill it with the sand, sew up the open- ing carefully and cover the bag with cotton or linen. This will prevent the sand from sifting out and will allow of the bag being quickly heated when re- quired by placing it in the oven. Sand holds heat a long time and is softer to the feet of an invalid than the ordinary hot water bottle. Sin Promoters. His satanic majesty announced that he intended taking a much needed va- cation. Some surprise being expressed at this action, he explained: "Well, I've fixed things so that the trolley motormen will refuse to stop for passengers when they are in a hurry, and I guess that will keep things going until I return."—Baltimore American. A Garden of Milk. The Milk garden of Frankfort, re- served for the children of that aristo- cratic city, is in itself one of the most democratic of places. Here rich peo- ple who wish to be relieved for a time of the presence of their children send them, accompanied by their nurses. Here also poor people who can neithet afford to devote their own time to their children nor hire separate nurses for them may bring their little ones, cer- tain that from the garden nurses they will receive all the care and attention necessary to safety, health and amuse- ment. Private nurses of the rich people and public nurses of the working people are subject to a supervision sufficient to protect the children of all classes from cruelty and neglect. The only food fur- nished in the garden is milk, whose freshness and purity are assured, inas- much as it is drunk warm from the mild eyed cows which occupy stalls on one edge of the field. The Arttcnotte. The artichoke has nothing to do with art or the choking of it. The artichoke is an innocent vegetable, known to the Arabians as the ardischauki, or earth thorn. The Jerusalem artichoke was never seen near Jerusalem. Its first name is a corruption of the Italian gi- resole, which means turning to the sun. It is a species of sunflower, bearing a tuber like that of a potato. Tried to Improve. A little girl who made frequent use of the word "guess" was .corrected for it and told to say "presume" instead. A lady friend, noticing the admirable set of the little girl's apron, asked something in regard to the pattern. "Mamma don't cut my dresses an' aprons by a pattern," said the small lady. "She just looks at me an' pre- sumes!" Well Forged. Joakley—I understand there's consid- erable talk now in naval circles about some orders that were forged very skillfully. Coakley—Aha! Another scandal, eh? Joakley--Oh, no. They were orders for some eight inch guns.—Exchange. There is a good deal of quiet satis- taction in seeing somebody else run against fresh paint. --Milwaukee Jour- nal. THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD & SON. SATURDAY NOV. 30th, 1901. Those of our readers living in the third congressional district who desire an assortment of the vegetable seeds sent out for free distribution by the Department of Agriculture should send their names and addresses to the Hon. J. P. Heatwole, Washington, D. C'., before Jan. 15th, in order that the lists may be arranged for early spring distribution. Each pack- age contains five varieties. The proposition to place mail carriers on rural delivery routes upon a civil service footing is a farce upon its face. The maximum compensation is $500 per annum, out of which a team has to be maintained, with regular service in all kinds of weather. Very few of them are netting more than the wages of an average farm hand., If one of our literary clubs would rent a vacant store building on Second Street and fit it up as a rest room for farmers' wives when they come into town, it would help our general trade more than anything that has heretofore been proposed. Let the experiment be tried a few months and see. The district court of Hennepin County holds that a wife cannot testify against her husband, under the common law. This practically nullities the legislation of last winter providing for prosecutions in cases of abandonment and non support of family, A. Rochester preacher has been left a fortune of $45.000, upon the condi- tion that he change his name from Peterson to Faulkner. He will un- doubtedly be known by the latter cognomen as soon as the courts can act upon his application. W. D. Bourne. late deputy auditor of Ramsey County, was convicted on Monday of issuing fraudulent tax redemption orders, and the case will be appealed to the supreme court. There are other indictments pending upon similar charges. The boys who are finding so much fault with the weekly bulletins of the republican state central committee should invest thirty cents in a waste basket. It will prove very- handy in starting fires these chilly mornings. The superintendent of public in- struction reports that forty-eight training schools and seven institutes were held last summer, at a cost of $32.679.32. The enrollment was a little over five thousand. An amendment to the state consti- tution prohibiting local companies from incorporating outside of Dlin- nesota would stop some of the New Jersey business and its attendant evils. Patrick Flannery, of this city, was in the wreck on the Wabash Road near Seneca, Mich., on Wednesday, and is reported to have had his teeth knocked out and face cut. The Si Perkins Company has just been released from a small pox quar- antine at Luverne, lasting three weeks. It's a great pity that it was not made perpetual. R. C. Munger, a well known music dealer in the pioneer clays of St.' Paul, died at the Rochester hospital on Monday, aged sixty-four years. The wholesale price of soap is said to have advanced fifteen per cent during -the past week, with upward tendencies still in view. The game of foot ball at Chicago Saturday, Minnesota vs. Northwest- ern, resulted in a victory for the fernier. Score sixteen to nothing. Miss Mabelle Stoddard, of Ma- ze[Zpa, died at the Hendel Hotel in ]ted Wing Monday night from the effects of blowing out the gas. The foot ball game on Thursday, Minnesota vs. Illinois, wns another victory for our university boys, sixteen to nothing. It is given out upon the authority of Bradstreets that eighty per cent of the business firms who fail do not advertise. H. I. Cleveland, a former news- paper boy of this city, is doing some good work on The Chicago Record - Herald. M. W. Savage, of Minneapolis, has bought the trotting stallion Directum at auction in New York for $12,100. His record is 2:051. The governors of Montana and North Dakota are expected to co- operate in the movement against the treat railroad combine. The receipt of hogs at the South St. Paul Stockyards passed the half mil- lion mark for 1901 last week. M1nnehota Journalism. W. J. Munro, of The Morris Sun, has been appointed inspector of rural mail delivery. _ The Waseca Clipper has clipped its lastclip, atter a brief and in- glorious existence of seven weeks. Mrs. L. D. Frost, of Winona, has been appointed as a member of the board of lady managers at the St. Louis exposition. The Commercial Club of St. Paul will open its new quarters on Tues- day, Dec. 3d, from two to ten p. m. G. B. Whitehorne, the absconding commissioner of Ramsey County, is reported to be in the City of Mexico. A special session of the legislature seems to be an assured fact, owing to the recent railroad complications. Senator Clapp has appointed C. E. Richardson, of Duluth, as his private secretary. John LeVesconte was in from Lydia yesterday and paid The Trib- une a business and social call. Mr. LeVesconte is a busy man these days, as manager of the newly organ- ized Lydia Co-operative Creamery Company, and it is pleasing to note that his energies are being rewarded with flattering success. The com- pany organized Oct. 1st, with Mr. LeVesconte manager, Edward Dubbe president, William Burchard treasur- er, and Henry Miller and August Timmerman directors. They bought the Iltis creamery for $3,500, and there are at present thirty-four share- holders, with prospects for many more in the near future. The first month the creamery received ninety- four thousand pounds of milk, and made forty-four hundred pounds of butter. Their product found a good sale, and they were able to pay the patrons of the creamery twenty and three -fourth cents for butter fat. This is certainly a good price, consid- ering the output of the factory for the month. -Shakopee Tribune, 221. I heard a pretty good story the other day about John Lind. It is conceded, of course, that John Lind is a very brainy man, and, by the same token, a very popular man, as none know better than some of the republicans. A Swede who was a staunch supporter of John Lind and an American who was an equally strong supporter of Van Sant were discussing the relative merits of the two men. ''I• will tell you what it is," said the Swede, "John Lind is a great deal smarter man than Van Sant." "Oh, yes," said the Ameri- can, "I suppose you think he is a smarter man than McKinley or Roosevelt." "Of course he is," said the Swede, "he is head and shoulders above them." "Well," said the re- publican, "how do you think he com- pares with the Lord?" "Oh, well," replied the Swede, "you must remem- ber that John Lind is a young man yet." -Crookston People's Press. Gov. Ramsey was the author of the first thanksgiving proclamation issued in Minnesota. Dec. 6th, 1850, was the date fixed for public and private thanksgiving by the people of the then territory of Minnesota. There was uo reference to "a long estab- lished custom" in that paper, for it was not until thirteen years later that the national observance of the day was inaugurated. The proclamation was an original document of the gov- ernor's and occupied about six inches of agate type, column width in the papers. Gov. Ramsey thought the people should be thankful that there had been no bloody wars among the Indian tribes with which they were surrounded, neither had they been afflicted with any epidemic disease, or with hurricanes. The harvests had been abundant, and the opera- tion of the mills profitable. -St. Paul Dispatch. John Granath, of Collinwood, planted one and one-half acres to beets, and raised fifty-four thousand, nine hundred, and sixty pounds. After taking out the dockage, freight, etc., he received a check for $96.16 net. Mr. Granath is sixty-three years old, his good wife seventy, and his boy a youngster of fourteen. They did all the work on a sixty acre farm, raised these beets, and only paid out $3 for help. He will plant three acres of beets next year.-Des- sel Anchor. There is really nothing at all strange about it. People in institu- tional towns are familiar with the management of the institutions locat- ed near them, and have at their hands the data on which to fora an intelli- geat opinion. The reason they de- nounce the present state board in un- measured terms is because their blun- dering incapacity and lack of good judgment can be properly character- ized in no other way. -Owatonna Journal. Asylum Notes. The grounds at the north are being planted with trees. O. B. Gould, of the board of con- trol, made an official visit yesterday. The inmates were treated to a bountiful thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, the menu consisting of turkey with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, squash, mince pie, pudding, and coffee.

Warren, of New York, and relates to his manuscript history of the Ojibway nation. Gen.

Repairing Neatly Done Never thought of such a sign for a medicine did you ? Well, it's a good sign for Scott's Emulsion. The body has to be repaired like other things and Scott's Emulsion is the medicine that does it, These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over -work, from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made -and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott's Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma- terials are used in the patching and the patches don't show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn. You can do it yourself -you and the bottle. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for fret sample.

Linley is a born actor, and his rendi- tion of the character of the bachelor could not have been improved upon by a professional. His sweethearts of forty years ago were Misses Mamie C. Finch, Mabel F. Dick, Hildegarde A. Palmstrom, Bertha C. Harnisb, Nettie M. Bailey, Marguerite Palm- strom, and Mrs. C. L. Bonwell. Mr. B. H. Stroud was an exceptionally fine colored valet, adding greatly to the realism of the play. The enter- tainment concluded with a social hop, which was greatly enjoyed by all present, The gross receipts were about $205. A Startling Surprise. Very few could believe in looking at A. T.

Dog Plays the Principal Part, .1.44•44+0 Not that sou of Priam, the beloved of Andromache, but still a real prince of his race and greatly beloved by tine small woman. A magnificent mastiff is Hector, as brave and bold, not to say as gallant and noble. as many a hero with two legs less. As for dogs not be. Ing able to think, any one Who can en- tertain such an idea deserves to live in "a chiq condition of doglessness" to the end of his days. I will tell you about Hector, and you may judge for your- self. Having been suddenly thrown upon my own resources, as so often befalls a girl brought up in luxury in this swift- ly whirling maelstrom of our American life, I determined to cultivate the only decided talent 1 possessed, that for painting. Dresden was recommended to ale as a place both cheap to live in and offering unusual facilities for art - study. I accordingly went there. With- out a chaperon? Certainly. I was to be a person of affairs, and what was a business woman to do with so costly, not to say inconvenient, an appendag0 as a chaperon? All winter I studied and copied in the gallery, and when summer came I took the little steam- boat which runs up and down the Elbe, bowing its smokestack so deferentially to all the bridges, and hunted up pic- turesque castles to sketch. "Lieben-felsen" was the beautiful old schloss I fell specially in love with, so I finally persuaded an old couple who lived near it to take me to board for n few weeks. They bad rather n nice lit- tle house and a garden that sloped down to the water's edge. There, under the overhanging trees, I used to sit for hours gazing up at the massive towers just on the other' side of the castle wall. Now and then a feeling of loneli- ness swept over ale, and my heart yearned for some of the pleasures of my joyous past. One morning I asked my landlady if any of the numerous Gorman laws would be infringed if I should go In swimming. At first she declared 1 would drown immediately, but when I assured her that I had known bow to swine since a child she finally consent ed, with a protest as to the general un usualness of American behavior. How refreshing it was! What hap- piness to plunge fearlessly into the cool, clear water! Not a living soul was to be seen, not a sound to be heard. Suddenly a great splash star- tled me. I felt my bathing dress seiz- ed between. the shoulders and myself dragged vigorously out of the water upon the bank. I was thoroughly ter- rified, but, fortunately, macre no re- sistance. As I looked up an enormous head appeared, and a large pair of eyes gazed inquiringly into mine. I had always loved dogs, but this monstrous disturber of my peace was so formidable that I dared not move. Fie, too, was motionless, and I read on his collar the name Hector. At last I raised my hand very gently and patted him on the neck, and, to my infinite relief, I perceived a slight vibration In the tip end of his tail. Just as I was wondering 'how far I dared presume upon that friendly symptom he lapped his rough tongue all over my face. Then I sat up and laughed, and he jumped and frolicked, as large as a young lion, as gentle as a kitten, Presently I tried to go back into the water, but to this he forcibly objected, and I was obliged to submit. When I returned to the house, he accompanied me, to the terror of my hostess. "He belongs up at the schloss," she explain- ed. "The young graf is always travel- ing, and almost all the servants are afraid of him." "Poor fellow:" I thought. He has been lonely too. That is what we read in each other's eyes. After that Hec- tor and I were inseparable. He came every day, and we explored all the sur- rounding country together. I am sure he thought—yes, thought, just as much as you or I can think—that he saved my life and consequently ought to ap- point himself my guardian. To me he seemed like a living link to the beauti- ful old castle, a protector and faithful friend. One morning as we were returning P from a long walk I saw advancing that always novel sight to American eyes, a woman and a dog harnessed together, dragging a cart. In this instance the cart was full of vegetables. It was eve= dently a market frau taking produce to town. Now, Hector was a true knight, valiant, loyal and gentle, but he pos- sessed also that other characteristic of knighthood -he brooked no intruders, and no sooner did one of his kind ap-, pear than he challenged him to combat. I knew this and trembled, but hoped for the best. Unluckily, however, that plebeian dog as he approached presumed to give a defiant bar);, which settled his fate. In- stantly Hector gave one spring and, seizing his boastful adversary, shook him out of his harness in less time than it takes to tell of it, overturning the cart and scattering the vegetables in every direction. I was distressed beyond measure and called Hector in the most commanding tones I could assume. Then I coaxed him, ail of which he en- tirely ignored. Meanwhile the other one of the span was by no means quiet. She was indeed perfectly furious. She abused Hector, she abused me, she abused the aristocracy, to which she seemed to think we both belonget9, as highway robbers and assassins! In my desperation I picked up a stick to com- pel Hector to obedience, but she mis- took my motive and advanced upon me in a rage. "Silence!" We turned quick- ly. Just out of the wood came a young man in uniform, evidently an officer. The dogs stood still in an instant, and 1 rushed forward and grasped Hector's collar. Ile did not consent kindly to being led off, but the other dog had been pretty well chastised by this time: Hec- tor felt his knightly powers had been duly established, and he quieted down in a deferential sort of way, as if he were only consenting to it on my ac- count. Then the market woman began to wail that her wares wire spoiled and • 0 t eltasanisaiteiniasate she might as well go home, but when EXPENSIVE DINNERS I gave her some money, and the gentle- I Vivo That Were Served In Del ice's Old Place In New Yor Probably the most expensive d ever given at Delmonico's old re rant, on t`surteenth street, New was that given by Mr. Morton Pe the tea and coffee merchants of York, 200 in number.

First, the boy of eight or ten is sent mon to the breaker to pick the slate and oth- k, er impurities from the coal which has inner been brought up from the mine. From stats- there he is promoted and becomes a Yolk, door boy, working in the mine. As he to 10 grows older and stronger he is ad - New vanced to the position and given the Aka pay of a laborer. There he gains the elab- experience which secures him a place ents. as a miner's helper, and as he acquires the skill and strength he becomes, when in filch the height of his manhood and vigor, a In the full fledged miner. ture ' If he is fortunate enough to escape from the falls of rock and coal, he may re- g re tain this position as a Miner for a num- , at ber of years. Itut as age creeps on and 1)f a he is attacked by some of the many ti.as diseases, incident to work in the mines he makes way for those younger and the more ,vigorous following him up the I)eo- ladder whose summit he has reached. sous He then starts on the descent, going ters, back to become a miner's helper, then ors, a mine laborer, now a door boy, and when old and decrepit he finally re- turns to the breaker where hg started as a child, earning the same wages as are received by the little urchins who work at his side. There is no incen- tive for ambition in the average min- er's life. He cannot rise to places of eminence and wealth. Only 1 in 500 can even be given place as a foreman or superintendent, and these are posi- tions which few miners care to hold.— John Mitchell in Cosmopolitan, "for Ilector is my favorite dog." This, then, was the count, and 1 had been claiming his property. No won- der Hector had quieted down at his voice! He must have read the disappoint- ment and mortification in my face, for we had just arrived at the castle gates and Hector had bounded away into the grounds when he raised his military cap with graceful courtesy and said: "Frauletn, we shall let Hector choose between us. If he prefers you, 1 shall never claim him and shall, moreover, admire his taste." He walked toward the gate while I went on, but Hector rushed out past him to me and whined pathetically; then he ran back to the count and stood defiantly in his path. To humor him his master came out again, and I turn- ed and faced him. Hector's joy was unbounded. He jumped around us both wildly and showed by every sign in his power that he had no intention of "cleaving to the one and forsaking the other." It was so evident and so amusing that we both laughed heart- ily, which seemed to establish a friend- liness at once. "He is determined we shall not part, fraulein. Will you permit us both to accompany you home?" They did so, and on the way I assured the count of my intention. to return shortly to the city, when he would probably have his favorite's undivided affection again. The next morning when I took my accustomed place out under the trees Hector soon came trotting gayly along the bank, holding in his mouth a small object of dark blue and red cloth, which be deposited at my feet. I picked it up. It was a military cap. You may call it accident if you like and say any dog will pick up a hat and carry it off, but you will see how mistaken you are. After awhile Rec- tor's tail as he lay at my side began to hammer the ground with gratified thumps, and I looked up questioning- ly. The count came toward us laugh- ing, to get his cap, he said, but he must have forgotten his purpose, for he stayed to watch me sketch, and the next day he came again and the next. I did not return to Dresden as soon as I had intended. Indeed, I finally decided not to return at all, but to make my home in the beautiful old castle. I had always been opposed to American girls marrying foreign no- blemen, and the count had bad, he told me, a most disapproving opinion of American girls in general; but, you see, Hector had made up his mind— yes, his mind—not to spare either of us, and he is such a fine fellow we could but acquiesce in the matter. Destructive Earthquakes. In 1693 an earthquake overturned fifty-four cities and towns; Catania and its 18,000 inhabitants were wiped out of existence and more than 100,- 000 lives were lost altogether. In 1702 Yeddo, Japan, was ruined and 200,000 people killed. In 1731 Peking lost 100,000 by an earthquake. In 1754 100,000 were engulfed at Grand Cairo. The following year Lisbon was wreck- ed the second time, losing 60,000 peo- ple. The same year Iiaschan, Persia, with 40,000 people, was totally de- stroyed. In 1759 Baalbec, Syria, was destroyed, 20,000 persons being killed. The same number perished at Allepo in 1882. In 1851 Melfi, Italy, was laid in ruins and 14,000 lives lost. Ill 1857 in Calabria and elsewhere not less than 10,000 perished by earthquake shocks. One authority on the subject estimates that in the years between 1755 and 1857 the kingdom of Naples lost not less than 111,000 of its people by earthquakes. Soldiers of the Civil War. The muster,.-ef rolls of the Union armies of the rebellion show that out of 2,000,000 in round numbers three- fourths were native Americans; Ger- many furnished 175,000, Ireland 150,- 000, England 50,000, British America 50,000 and other countries 75,000—in all about 500,000 foreigners. Forty-eight per cent of our soldiers were farmers, 27 per cent mechanics, 16 per cent la- borers, 5 per cent professional men, and 4 per cent were of miscellaneous vocations. The average height of our soldiers was 5 feet 81/4 inches, includ- ing the large number of recruits from seventeen to twenty years of age. Out of about 1,000,000 men whose heights were recorded there were 3,613 over 6 feet 3 inches, and some were over sev- en feet.—Army and Navy Journal. Be Didn't Think So.

This is the only way to have success in plant growing. Experts assert upon investigation that the fir trees of western Washing- ton grow from 150 to 300 feet high and are from five to thirty-five feet in di- ameter and are stronger than oak of the Atlantic coast. If you want your palms to thrive in an ordinary sitting room, sponge the leaves once a week with lukewarm wa- ter to which a little milk has been add- ed. Then stand the plant for two hours in lukewarm water deep enough to completely cover• the pot. This Is the proper way to water palms. A Toothsome Revenge. During the reign of Charles i1., the age of gallantry. It was the custom among gentlemen when they drank a a lady's health, in order that they plight do her still more honor, to de- stroy at the same time some part of their clothing. Upon one occasion Sir Charles Sed- ley was dining in a tavern and had a particularly fine necktie on. whereupon one of his friends, to play him a trick, drank to the health of a certain lady, at the same time throwing his necktie in the fire. Of course Sir Charles had to do likewise, but be got even, for not long after that. dining with the same company, he drank the health of a fair one, at the same time ordering a den- tist whom he had engaged to be pres- ent, to pull out a refractory tooth which bad been troubling hint Every- one else was obliged in this manner to mourn a molar.

Glass, pottery and metallic wares are therefore preferable to wood. They should have no joints or grooves, as these harbor minute par- ticles of food. Before placing food in them they should be thoroughly wash- ed, scalded with boiling water, wiped dry and then be allowed to cool. Plac- ing them in the suit when practicable for a couple of hours will also add to their purity. The Rival Gorillas.

For His Reputation, $560, The proprietor of a large dry goods store had decided to tear down the old building and erect a new one in its stead. In furtherance of this plan he was removing his goods to temporary quarters in another building. The goods were nearly all out of the old structure when from some un- known cause it caught fire. The de- partment was promptly on hand and soon had a stream playing on the flames, but the merchant was wild with excitement, Running up to the chief, he urged him to greater haste. "Never mind the goods!" he shouted. "Save the building! I'll give the boys a check for $500 for their pension fund if they don't let the tire spread beyond that floor!" "Why, you're going to tear the old building down anyway, aren't you?" asked the chief. "Yes," he said, "but do you suppose I want the insurance companies or any- body oh earth to think that's the rea- son why it caught fire?" By great exertion the fire was ex- tinguished with little loss so far as the building was concerned, and the mer- chant was ate good as his word.— Youth's Companion. Queer Creatures. There ate microscopic creatures which live in roof gutters and on the bark of trees and are known as water bears and wheel animalcules. If allow- ed to dry up under the microscope, they can be seen to shrivel into shapeless masses, which may be kept for years uninjured in the dried state. On being placed after this long inter- val in water they gradually plump up, resume their proper shape and move about in search of food just as if noth- ing bad happened. Much the same is true for the minute worms which from the substances in which they live are known as paste and vinegar eels.

Mr. Charles Whymper, the well known engrftver and animal painter, told the following anecdote some years ago: "I dined at Mr. So-and-so's at Highgate last night, and as a mark of honor his eldest slaughter was assign- ed to me to take down to dinner. She's a bright girl, and I got along very nice- ly with her and Lady Bletherington on the other side until the ladies were on the eve of retiring to the drawing, room. I was talking about the beauti- ful scenery near the house, the views from the windows, the fine air, when Miss — suddenly said, 'I think I get prettier every day, don't you?' "What could she mean? I did not dare to answer her, so I said: 'I beg your pardon. What did you say?' "'I said I think I get prettier every day.' There was no mistaking her words, so I answered, 'Yes, indeed, you get prettier, and no wonder in such fresh air and'— Just then she caught her mother's eye, and, with the other la- dies, she left the room. As she went out she looked over her shoulder with such a withering scorn in her eyes that I knew I had put my foot in it some- how. Then it flashed upon me that I had misunderstood her. She had drop- ped an 'h.' What she bad said was not a silly compliment to herself. The sen- tence really was, 'I think Highgate prettier every day.' "—Chambers' Jour- nal. Knew His .Man.

He was asked by his own side only two questions. "You have lived in Hartford a great many years, Mr. Batterson?" "Yes, sir." "Are you in favor of granting this charter?" "No, s11•." Here his lawyers rested, leaving the rest to chance, knowing that Mr. Bat- terson could keep his end up in any ver- bal battle with ex -Governor Waller. The latter began by asking: "Mr. Batterson, you have lived here many years?" "I have," "Well, sir," added Governor Waller, "it 1s my wish that you may live In Hartford many more years.

Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who was reeling near the deer, the preacher exclaimed, "There stands a sinner against whom I shall bear witness in the day of judgment." At this the lawyer folded his arms, planted himself as firmly as he could and, addressing the man in the pulpit, electrified tho whole congregation after this fashion: "SIr, I have been practicing in the criminal courts for twenty years, and I have always found that the greatest rascal is the first to give state's evi- dence."—Scotsman.

Gentlemen ; — Being entirely cured of deafness. thank:esto your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirety.

Jorevin de Rochefort, who publish in Paris In Nil an account of his tr els in England; tells the followi "While we were .walking about t town (Worcester) he asked use if it w the custom in France as in Engle that when the children went to scho. they carried in their satchel with th books a pipe of tobacco, which the mothers took care to fill early in th morning, it serving them iustead breakfast, and that at the accustoul hour every one laid aside his book t light his pipe, the master smoking wit them and teaching them how to bol their pipes and draw in the tobacco." In England at the time of the great plague it was reported that no one liv- ing in a tobacconist's house fell sick of the disease. This caused a great d mand for tobacco, Hearne says in hi diary, "I remember that I heard fo merly Tom Rogers, -vtrho was yeoina beadle, say that when he was a school boy at Eton that year when the pingo raged all the boys of that school were obliged to smoke every morning and that be was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morning for not smoking."

DECEMBER 7, 1901 :1iARKS THAT BETRAY IT IS RATHER HARD FOR ONE TO CONCEAL ONE'S IDENTi i Y. Detectives Helped by Trivial Distin- guishing ng Signs —1 --oar Eye, Your Finger Nails, Yonr Clothes or Yonr Build May Reseal You. Everybody carries about with him many trivial distiuguishing marks by means of which a shrewd detective can discover his identity. Take the matter of clothes. Most men get all their cloth- ing from the sauce tailor, but whether one does or not and however careful he may be to cut off every tag and mark the tailor who made the clothes can identify them. Thread, stitching, but- tons, linings—all tell their own tale. More especially do those extras which the tailors call "specials." These are the extra pockets, fountain pen or pencil pockets, eyeglass pockets, watch pock- ets lined with wash leather, cigar. tick- et, flask and inner waistcoat pockets; It will be remembered that it was by' means of a trousers button that the ideutity of Norcross, the man who tried to blow up Russell Sate, was discov- ered. Then your finger nails are liable to betray you. Any manicure will tell you that it takes between 105 and 130 days for a new finger nail to grow upon the hand of a man in ordinary heaifb, ac- cording to his age, the nail growing quicker on the young and slower on the • old. So any bruise or other mark re- ceived on the white crescent at the base of the nail will take nearly four months to disappear. It was a knowledge of this fact that enabled a detective to arrest the forger Simpson in ; Paris some time ago. lie learned from Simpson's landlc, In Bristol that a window had fallen ..ien: the man's hand and bruised his thumb some time in the first week of March; a few days before he disappeared. Four months later, when the detec- tive met Siinpson in Paris, the black spot was just disappearing from the tip of the thumb nail. It was the only means of identification, for Simpson, by shaving his head and dressing like a priest, had absolutely changed his ap- pearance. Some time ago a criminal was brought to justice by the testimony of his own watch, one which he had carried for years. He was charged with murder, and his defense was an alibi, which he uearly proved He said that he had not been near ti-e'sceue of the murder fol three months, and no testimony could be produced that he was not telling the It until one of the detectives who at-, , e -time had been a jeweler's appren- tice happened to look at the man's watch. Inside the watch ease, written in signs that only a watchmaker could read, was the evidence that the time- piece had been in the hands of a re pairer of watches the day before the, murder. With the watch in his hands the detective visited the town neat which the murder had been committed and went around from one jeweler's shop to another until he found a watch- maker who recognized the timepiece as one in which he had put a new main- spring on the day preceding the mur- der. Thus the alibi was broken down, and the prisoner finally made a full con- fession. Again, only one man in 215 Is not lopsided and badly put together. Many. a man wh,, is a fine athlete and in splendid- physical health would be amazed to Gad • how unevenly he is made up if he should undergo the test of a r_:easuring tape. Either one arm or one leg is longer than the other, oue shoulder higher than the other, or, still more frequently, the eyes are not the same or placed in the head in exactly the same way. People have been identified by the fact that the pupil of one eye was lar- ger than that of the other. The nose .is very seldom exactly straight, limit swerves a little to the right or left, though the defect is not noticeable to the ordinary observer. Above all, a man who is starting out on a criminal career should never go to a dentist. The filling of the teeth is a sure record, and even if the criminal has all his teeth pulled his false teeth will be as sure a means of identification. "Tarn" and "Cue." As a rule a performer waits for his "turn" in the wings, having already been "called" from the dressing room. The word is almost exclusively in this sense used in the music halls and on the variety stage. On the stage proper, the stage of the drama, the word "cue" is used. An actor waita at the wings for bia "cue," which is the last word of fhe actor or actress speaking, which gives him his entrance or which, sup- posing him, the performer, to be on the stage, indicates to him that it is his turn to carry on the dialogue and the action of the play. "Extra turn" al- most invariably means that a new per- former is having his first public trial at that particular house. If he goes well, he is tolerably sure of securing an engagement.—Notes and Queries. e Not Painful. "Here," cried Oldham to his fellow lodger, who was sthrting for his holi- day, "that's my brush and comb you're putting in your portmanteau." "Well, let the have 'em. You won't need 'em; you've grown so bald lately." "That's just it. I can't part with them."—London Answers. Turquoise miningNew Mexico is of very remote origin.

They Are Made For the Most Part In Farmers' Houses. "An odd occupation, surely," said a man acquainted with the business, •"is that of knitting pool table pockets. A .ewersons find steadymeat at em to p employment it, but the greater number of those en- gaged in it take it up incidentally to some other employment. "Of all the pool pockets used the lar- ' gest proportion is made in farmhouses by farmers' -wives and daughters. The women who do this work are mostly Germans and Swedes. "Pool table pockets are all hand- made. The largest producer of pool pockets is a concern in New York that employs at this work about thirty fam- ilies, these mostly residing on Long Is- land. The bundles of material for the several families thus employed are made up in the shop and delivered to them, the finished pockets being at the same time collected. "The knitting is done with a needle twenty inches in length, and the pock- ets are knitted with a peculiar knot that will not pull out. You might cut a hole in a pocket with a knife, but the hole would go no farther. As the pock- et is knitted it will not pull or .draw apart. "Pool pockets are made of cotton, of wool and of silk. The first are sold for $1.25 or thereabout:1 a dozen. Silk pockets sell for about $10 a dozen. "I should say that of all the pockets made perfiapa half are of cotton, three- eighths of wool and one-eighth of silk. The pockets are most commonly green, but they are made in other colors as well—in maroon, for example, and in yellow and in blue for tables with cloths'in those colors. "Output? Well, the production of them is somewhat scattered. I should say that itmight amount annually to about 10,000 dozen, valued on an aver- age, roughly estimatedi at $4 a dozen, making the total value of the output somewhere about $40,000."—New York Sun. THE HOME DOCTOR. A soft linen bandage saturated with a 1 per cent solution of carbolic acid is excellent for a blistered finger. To relieve a nervous headache apply hot water to the temples and back 'of the neck. A hot footbath will also ma- terially aid. Earache can frequently be cured by wringing out a flannel in boiling water, sprinkling a few drops of laudanum on it and applying it to the ear. A small quantity of vinegar will gen- erally destroy immediately any insect that may -find its 'way into the stomach, and a little salad oil will kill any insect that may enter the ear. When your feet are very tired and hot, plunge them into a basin of cold water and keep them there until a sen- sation of warmth begins. Then dry them and put on fresh stockings and shoes. A writer states that a teaspoonful of finely grated nutmeg in a teacupful of cold water taken night and morning the first day and then missing a day, • repeated on the third day, is a sure cure for boils. A Four Footed Bird. There is a four footed bird, the Opis- thocomus cristatus, which has such anomalies of structure that it is im- possible to class it along with any oth- er family. It is one of those survivors which tell us of extinct groups of whose past existence we would other- wise have remained forever ignorant. These, the only species of four footed birds, inhabit the island of Marajo in the lower Amazon. It is only during infancy that this remarkable feature of these birds is seen, the two fore feet appearing early in the development of the embryo and continuing perfectly formed for several days after hatch- ing, when they are gradually shed. It is also kqown as the boactzin or evil smelling bird, the flesh having an un- pleasant odor, making it unpalatable to both man and .carnivorous animals, which is probably one cause of its sur- vival. People Who Used to Eat Spiders. The enjoyment of particular kinds of food is, after all, a matter of custom, and the African who revels in white ants is no more peculiar in his tastes than the European who eats cheese mites. A lady whom M. Iteaumur knew was accustomed to devour spiders as fast as she could catch them, and a German lady gave it as her opinion that these creatures resembled in taste the most delicious nuts. A fellow coun- tryman of this lady was in the habit of regularly bunting spiders in his own and his friends' houses. He used to spread theft' on bread, Rozel tells us, and vowed that they were far pleas- anter to the palate than butter.—Oorn- hill Magazine. Who He Was. "Walt a minute, John. Don't read so fast.

These are tucked and stitched in quite a new and curious way, so that the ridges formed In the felt or frieze make quite a smart finish to de softly indented crowns and close curled turban brims that dis- tinguish the new shaves. A HEARTY LAUGH. She Wonderful Effects I'.: Has Upon the Human System. "Laugh and grow fat" is a saying as old as the hills. It has long been an accepted fact that humor is a promoter of digestion and merry words the dead- liest foes of disease. Dr. J. E. Kenne- dy, editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin, writes an interesting article on the val- ue of laughter, in which he shows it is not only a remedial agent, but is also a valuable preventive against a host of diseases. The physical effects of laugh- ter are thus put down by Dr. Kennedy: Laughter increases the blood circula- tion. It enlarges the heart. It expands the lungs. It jiggers the diaphragm. It promotes the dioculation of the spleen. In other words, laughter stirs up the vital regions of the body, gives them healthful exercise and produces ,a men- tal exhilaration which acts upon the system much as a brisk walk in a crisp atmosphere does upon the appetite. As strong allies to laughter Dr. Kennedy gives the following directions for men- tal peace of mind: Beware of theologians who have no sense of mirth. They are not altogeth- er human. Keep your chin up. Don't take your troubles to bed with you.- Hang them on a chair with your trousers or drop them in a glass of wa- ter with your teeth. Dr. Kennedy has surely hit the nail on the head. It itis prescription and advice are followed, his own bills will be decidedly cut down. — Burlington Hawkeye. LURED BY SCENT. Rats Caught In Numbers by an In. genions Means. Rats are very susceptible to the odor of certain drugs, and any ordinary trap set in their haunts is likely to be suc- cessful if dressed with these scents, the attraction of which, rat catchers affirm, they cannot resist. An example Is: Powdered assafetida, eight grains; oil of rhodium, two drams; oil of aniseed, one dram; oil of lavender, one-half dram. Shake together in a bottle and use a very small quantity to dress the bait. To catch rats, cover a common barrel with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge round the barrel. Place a board so that the rats may have easy access to the top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other food for the rats on the paper for sev- crel clays until they begin to think that they have a right to their daily rations from this source. Then place in the bottom of the barrel a piece of rock about six or seven inches high, filling with water until only enough of it projects above the water for one rat to lodge upon. Now replace the paper, first cutting a cross in the middle, and the first rat that comes on the barrel top goes through into the water and climbs on the rock. The paper comes back to its original position, and the second rat follows the first. Then begins a fight for the possession of the dry place on the stone, the noise of which attracts the others, who share the same fate.— Baltimore American. An Emb ing Query. In a city where children above the age of five years have to pay full fare on the tramcars while those who are younger go free the passengers in a car saw one day a rather large boy, looking seven years old at least, held in his mother's lap as though he were a baby. The big child seemed restless about something. Presently he cried: "Mamma! Mam- ma!" • The mother, as if with a premonition of something wrong, tried to hush him, but be still kept saying: "Mamma! Mamma!" "Well, what is it?" she asked at last. "Mamma, when do I have to say I'm only five?" Then the passengers—some of them— laughed and the mother turned very red.—London Answers. A Unique .Book. A publishing firm which makes a spe- cialty of expensive editions of 'standard authors bas recently published an edi- tion of the works of Dickens. The set is in thirty volumes and liberally 11= lustrated and illumined. An eccentric buyer decided he would like to have a set composed of the proof sheets of the edition. These were,. of course, much marked, corrected, noted and otherwise marred, but they were collected and bound in an exquisite binding and sent to the collector of original books. He paid $1,400 for the privilege of owning probably the most unique reprint of a set of Dickens' works in existence.— New York Times. A. Choice of Calves. The difficulties the early Virginian colonists had with their live stock is curiously illustrated by the fact that In the colony of Massachusetts Bay a red calf was cheaper than a black one, experience having shown that the for- mer was more likely to be attacked by wolves, owing, it was thought, to the wolves mistaking it for a deer.

CHILDREN OF LONG AGO. The Etiquette They Were Taught In the Eighteeyth Ccntnr;•. The "polite acadei',y" does pot con- fine itself to purely ethical considera- tions. The minutest directions are given as to polite behavior under all sorts of circumstances: "Take salt with a saltspoou or else with a clean knife, not with that you are eating with, for that will foul the rest. "Do not laugh at table, much less sneeze, cough or yawn; butlf you can- not avoid it hold up the napkin or ta- blecloth before your face and turn aside from the table. "When you drink, bow to some one of the ea" pna,- "nd-:;ay sir or. madam. "Never regard what another has on his plate. It looks as if you wanted it. "If you have occasion to laugh, turn from the company. "Always look pleased. but not merry unless there is occasion." Now as to the deportment of a young master: "Let your feet be placed at a small distance from one another. not too close nor too wide in spreading. "Put one hand easy and free into the bosom of your waistcoat and the other under the flap of it. "Do not button more than the three lowest buttons of your waistcoat that your hand may not be raised too high. "Do not thrust your hand mato your breeches as vulgar boys do, but let it fall with ease under the flap of your waistcoat-" To face this page there is a beautiful "copper cut" of a young master in the easy and elegant attitude recommend- ed, and truly "there is a great deal of sweetness in his looks." This delightful volume was published by R. Baldwin at the hose in Pater- noster row and B. Collins in Salisbury 1765.—Longman's Magazine. KITCHEN Gluttonous Bass. "Talk about sharks," said an Orange county lake fisherman; "I don't believe they are in it for promiscuous diet with the black bass. "I was fishing one day with a very large minnow on a big hook. I hall a bite and booked a bass. It was a big one and gave me as pretty a fight as I ever saw till it broke the leader at the point where tt is attached to the line and got away. "We fished in other parts of the lake after that and finally started to the landing, the guide rowing while I skit- tered with a minnow. We were pass- ing close by the place where I had lost the fish in the morning when I saw a bass dart for my bait- i envy t+ tt.,.a to swallow and then struck. When I got the fish into the boat, I saw a three foot leader sticking out of it mouth. It was the leader I had los . in the morning. When I cut the bass open, there was the same big chub it bad taken from. my line, and it came so nearly filling the fish's maw that the tail of the last minnow was sticking out of the mouth. There wasn't room for it in the interior of the bass."—New York Times. Smoking Under Water. Says an expert swimmer: It looks very strange to see a man go under water with a lighted cigar in his mouth, smoke calmly at the , bottom and come to the surface with the cigar burning as nicely as if he were smok- ing in his easy chair. Apparently he defies all natural laws, but of course he doesn't. - It is a simple trick, but it requires practice. Just as I throw myself back- ward to go down I flip the cigar end for end with my tongue and upper lip and get the lighted end in my mouth; closing my lips water tight around- it. A little slippery elm juice gargled be- fore going in prevents any accidental burning of the mouth. Going slowly down backward, I lie at full length on the bottom of the tank and blow smoke H ELPS. through the cut end of the cigar. Just as I reach the surface again another flip reverses the cigar, and there I am smoking calmly. The reversing is done so quickly that nobody notices it. To clean a greasy sink a little paraffin oil, rubbed on with a piece of flannel, will save a great deal of trouble. Ordinary tea marks on china may be readily dissolved by scrubbing with a soft brush dipped in salt water and vinegar. If new tinware is rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used, it will never rust afterward, no matter how much it is put in water. A good way to clean zinc utensils is to dip a piece of cotton in kerosene and rub the articles with it until the dirt is removed. Dry afterward with a clean cloth so as to get rid of all grease. For stained tinware borax produces the best results. If the teapot or cof- feepot is discolored on the inside, boil it in a strong solution of borax for a short tine, and all its brightness will return. Pans and kettles partly filled with water should not be placed on the range to soak, as it only makes them harder to clean. They should be filled with cold water and be kept away from the heat. Another Matter. City Magistrate -0f course I don't wish to stand in the way of my daugh ' ter's happiness, but I know so little of you, Mr. Hawkins. What is your vo- cation? o-cation?

Waiter—Yes; I sometimes measure half a day from tip to tip, sir.—Smart Set. Japanese Fern Balls. The lack of success of which some people complain in the care of fern balls is due probably to one of the fol- lowing causes: Either a cheap and worthless ball was purchased or it bas not been kept properly damp, says Home Notes. It is no good to give the fern an oc- casional soaking and then let it get bone dry. It must be kept steadily damp. A good plan is to put up a book over the sink in the butler's pantry and to hang it there to drain after its daily tub. The daily tub of lukewarm water is necessary for the well being of a fern ball kept in the dry air of a living room, and care should be taken to se- cure it a place where it will have plen- ty of light, but little or no sunshine. - Even in the hottest weather it should not be kept out of doors, and drafts, be it remembered, will ruin it. His Ides of a Sermon. Robert Morris, a man celebrated for the part he took in the American Rev- olution, was once asked by .Dr. Rush: "Well, Mr. Morris, how did you like the sermon? I have heard it highly ex- tolled." "Why, doctor," said he, "I did not like it at all. It is too smooth and tame for me." "Mr. Morris," re- plied the doctor, "what sort of a ser- mon do you like?" "I like, sir," replied Mr. Morris, "that preaching which drives a man up into a corner of his pew and makes him think the devil is after him." A Saving Man. "Bilkins got married rather sudden- ly, didn't he?" "Yes; somebody gave him a railway pass to Bournemouth for two, and he didn't want to waste it,"—London Tit - Bits. The- Girls of Limerick. If asked, "Where are the prettiest Girls -in the world?" I will immediately reply, "In Limerick, Ireland." There are a freshness of face, lustrousness of eyes, healthfulness of color and com- plexion about the Limerick girls en masse that carry off the sweepstakes trophy. The girls of Cork and of the lakes—in fact, of the country all the way down from Dublin—are somewhat of the Limerick order. In form they Constitute a happy medium between the rotund English maids across one channel and the sylphlike Parisian demoiselles beyond the other. But the - Limerick face is the perfec- tion of female beauty, a human ceram- ic without a blemish.. The Limerick girl is also the highest example of ex- quisite wit and ingenuousness, an ex- traordinary assimilation, to be sure. In other words, while she is not insen- sible of her sparkle of words, she seems like one who has never looked frequently into a mirror. She has regular and sometimes very pretty teeth, and, if her nose is often inclined to retrousse and there is an "Irish ex- pression of mouth," these but add piquancy to her other beautiful fea- tures.—Argonaut. The Lost Forty. There is a tract of land in Tazewell county, I11., lying along the Mackinaw river, which consists of a continuous series of abrupt and deep ravines. Not a foot of the tract could be cultivated: The ridges are full of fax dens, wolves are occasionally found, and turkey buz- zards hover over it in large flocks. Even people €amiller with the territory have been lost in the dense forest. Ex- cept for a few giant oaks the wood has no commercial value. The tract is known as the "Lost Forty" because no one knows who owns it. For years' it has been used for trading purposes, and many un- wary persons from a distance have ad- vanced money upon it and taken mort- gages in various sums, only to receive a questionable title to a worthless piece of land. On the Tazewell county taxbooks the "Forty" appears with "owner unknown." The land is water- ed by innumerable springs and the Mackinaw river, which winds its way through. Bees' Venom For Rheumatism. Dr. Terc, a medical man of much re- pute in Vienna, advocates as an effec- tive remedy for rheumatism the satu- rating of the patient's body with the vennn,-.,f. r,a' ' For the purpose he ex- tracts the venom, treasuring it up in quantity and applying it artificially in the way of punctures. He founds this treatment on his discovery that rheu- matic patients do not suffer from a bee's sting to anything like the same degree as other people. He found that the tumefaction or swelling that fol- lows the stinging of a bee does not ap- pear in the rheumatic patient unless he has been stung several times, while in some cases the stinging is hardly felt. When the patient suffers himself to be stung repeatedly, his immunity against the poison of the bee becomes complete, and he feels no pain whatso- ever. What is more, he gets cured of his rheumatism.—London Gloue. The Joke on Ben. Two men, Tom and Ben, worked side by side for thirty years in a grocery store, where there were a great many unreasonable people to satisfy. Both had grown old, and finally one night Tom became violently i11. A doctor was called, who, after his arrival, told Tom that he could not recover. Tom thought about it for awhile and then said: "Won't it be a great joke on Ben! I won't have to go to work to- morrow, but Ben will have to turn out, as usual, and bear the same old unrea- sonable complaints."—Atchison Globe. Getting Around It. - Local—I am writing a short notice about the appointment of our towns- man Lakwit to the position of town auditor. I really can't say that be has any fitness for the place, and yet on personal grounds I prefer to associate his name with the appointment in some complimentary way.

It Got There Just the Same. Mabel—Such a joke on Mr. Gayboy! We were out on the balcony between the dances, and he got the sleeve of his dress coat all over red paint from one of the posts that were just painted. Maud—And did you go near the post? Mabel—No. Why? Maud—Because you have red paint all over the back of your waist.—Har- lem Life. The Small Boy's Aspiration. Grandma — Now, Willie, what are they going to do with you when you grow up?

A Cheap Toothbrush. One of the most curious plants in the world is the toothbrush plant, a spe- cies of creeper which grows in Jamai- ca. By cutting a piece of the stem and fraying the ends the natives make a toothbrush. The father of the game of whist, Es- mond Hoyle, lived to be 97 years old. His treatise on cards has been pub- lished in all languages, and probably no work except the Bible has passed through more editions. The original work appeared in London in 1742. 11 S $1 per Year in Advance. Sx per Year it not in Advance A Tarantula's Jump. "There are strange sights in Porto Rico," said a returned traveler. "Ta- rantulas are one of them," he contin- ued, "and yob should see a tarantula jump! One of them went through a marvelous performance, with myself and a dog for spectators. The dog's barking awoke me early one morning, and I slipped Into my shoes and ran out. Spot—that's the dog's name—was making frantic plunges at an enormous tarantula, as • as my palm and its legs covering as much ground as a soup plate. Its wicked black eyes made me creep. "All of a sudden the thing shrank up like a sponge and jumped for the dog. I give you my word, it jumped fifteen feet if it was an inch. Twice the dog ran under the spider's jump—fact. Oth- ers were watching by this time, and they all saw it. Usually, though, he just side stepped a bit. "I broke up little pieces of a branch of a tree and hurled them at the taran- tula. My aim was just good enough to stir him up. At first he kept jumping away from us, but Spot always herded him back again. Then lie jumped straight for us. At last a lucky shot keeled him over, and a few strokes with a convenient club finished him"— New York Times. The Subjection of Man. - "No, I never have a bit of -trouble with my husband," remarked the frail little woman with the intelligent face. "In fact, I have him right under my . thumb." "You don't look very strong," doubt- fully commented the engaged girl. "You mistake me, my dear. "It's a mental, not a physical, subjection." "Would you mind telling me how"— "Not a bit. Always glad to help any one steer clear of the rocks. First of all, you must know that a man in love is the biggest sort of a fool and says things that make him almost wild when he hears them in after life. I realized it, and from the very beginning of gtlr - courtship I kept a phonograph i the room, and every speech he made was duly recorded. Now, whenever my hus- band gets a little bit obstreperous I just turn out a record or so. Heavens, how he does rave! But be cau't deny it. They always will, though, if you don't have proof positive." "Thank you," gratefully murmured the engaged girl. "I'll get a phono- graph this very day." His Prize. An amusing story. which may per- haps he entirely true, is told of a short- sighted but energetic member of the_ Russian secret police. He was walking through a little fre- quented street of St. Petersburg one night when he spied high up on a lamp- post a placard. "Abs!" be said to himself, scenting mischief on the instant and alert for action. "That's one of those incendiary notices about his majesty the czar! It must come down at once!" With some difficulty, being of a stout build, he succeeded in climbing the post and dislodging the placard. Ile bore it to the ground, and there, peering at it by the light of the lamp, he read two Russian words, the English equivalent for which is the well known legend "Wet Paint."—Youth's Companion. A Wife's Allowance. It is one of the most humiliating ele- ments in woman's life in America to- day and one of the phases which is most uncomplimentarily reflective upon American husbands that a just allow- ance is withheld from many wives. No matter how small the allowance may be, so long as it is fair in propor- tion to the iucome earned, every wife should have a purse of her own, sacred to herself and her needs and free from: the slightest intrusion on the part of her husband. Every wife Is entitled to this, and no young man—I care not how small his income nor what his reasoning may be—starts married life aright who withholds that courtesy and that right from his wife.—Edward Bok in Ladies' Home Journal. The Tired Farmer. "Yes, sir, you simply start our auto- mobile plow and leave it to itself while you sit on the fence here in the shade and enjoy your weekly paper and a jug of hard cider. The plow will go right ahead and break up your field better than you could possibly do it, and when it has finished all you have to do is to press the button here and stop it." "Waal, say, couldn't you fix it so's it would kind o' steer up here close to the fence, so's I could press the button without gittin' down?" — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Teaching a Dog. To teach a dog to "speak" bold some dainty before him when he Is hungry. At first he will not know what is want- ed, but say "Speak!" to him, and when he barks, which he is pretty sure t'; do when he finds the morsel still beyond his reach, feed it to him at once. Nle will soon associate the work "speak" with the bark and the dainty. Taught by Experience. "We shall need," said the officer who was arranging for the government ex- pedition, "food supplies for six men and a boy." "Supplies for eight men," said the secretary, jotting it down. "What else?"—Chicago Tribune. PEARS WITH CREAM. vastly improved by a similar addition.

DEFECTIVE PAGE THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD a SON. SATURDAY DEC. 7th. 1901. It occurs to some of us high pri- vates in the rear ranks that the Min- nesota member of the. republican national committee should be a man with less personal interest in the tariff, even if he were not rich enough to dine distinguished visitors at the Minnesota Club and other exclusive places. The result at the polis is -the main- thing; there are plenty of wealthy men in the twin cities to do the entertaining. The first message of President Roosevelt was transmitted to congress on Tuesday, a formidable document. Those who anticipated specimens of cowboy pyrotechnics are somewhat disappointed. It is a plain business statement of public affairs, with practical suggestions and recommen- dations which commend themselves to the attention of the people generally. As a state paper it compares very favorably with its predecessors. Gov. Y anSant has appointed a - special commission to investigate the charges preferred against Sheriff Megaarden, of Hennepin County, and temporarily- suspended him from office. He declines to surrender, and is sleeping on a -cot and having his meals sent in. The St. Paul Dispatch alleges that the capital stock of the (Great North- ern Road has been increased from $°5.000.000 to $125,000,000 in less than three years, with very little to show for it other thin the certificates held by shareholder's. The railroad commissioners, ac- companied by the governor and at- torney general, are going to Wash- ington to confer with the interstate commerce commissioners upon the proposed merger of the Northern Securities Company. The Minnesota delegation was com- pelled to go way hack in the drawing for seats in congress on Monday, but it will be well to the front in com- mittee assignments.

W. B. Bourne, the defaulting dep- uty auditor of Ramsey County, was .convicted on the second indictment last Thursday, which gives him ten years more in prison. The commissioners of Ramsey County have compromised with the bondsmen of the West Side Bank at $874 28,- charging up $1,748.50 to profit and loss. The attorney general has decided to institute legal proceedings against the proposed railroad combination, and the papers are being prepared in his office. Minnesota not only scored the highest on butter at the Buffalo ex- position, but received more diplomas than any other state represented. An epidemic of glanders is report- ed in St. Paul, twenty-five horses having been killed by the health de partment in the past six weeks. The sewage problem at the Anoka asylum has been solved by the state board of control .by running it into filter beds instead of the river. The supreme court holds that the right to examine the records and files of the clerk of the district court is subject to proper limitations. Seven dead and seventy-five injured is the foot ball record for 1901, as compiled from newspaper dispatches. It is truly a noble game. The state capitol board has rejected all the bids for fireproofing the building, the price being considered too high.

HOME AND CH/LD Does your horse "feel his oats"? What a difference be- tween the grain -fed and the 'grass-fed horse ! The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children are not alike either. One is rosy, bright-eyed, full of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. The feed- ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordi- nary food do its d uty.

From the time the crop is gath- ered until it is finally packed in the bottles there is not a moment which is not fraught with the intensest anxiety on the part of all who handle the fruit. No other product requires such con- stant application of the old maxim of 'eternal vigilance' as olives. "The ball begins with the gathering of the fruit. This is done in the late summer or early autumn, while the fruit is still green and hard and alto- gether unsavory on account of its in- tense bitterness. The olives are picked by hand to prevent scratching and bruising and then conveyed in carts or on pack mules to the curing establish- ment. Olive curing is a very 'delicate and intricate process, for which no fixed rules can be laid down. A course of treatment that in one instance would prove successful might be abso- lutely ruinous in another. The business of curing therefore calls for expert tal- ent and is always intrusted to a pro- fessional tvho brings to his task his own skill and knowledge, supplement- ed by the experience of generations of kinsfolk who were curers in that par- ticular variety before him. "The first step in the process of cur- ing is known as `cooking.' When the fruit comes to the curing establish- ment, it is placed in large vats filled with a mixture of lime and water, in which it undergoes a kind of fermen- tation. 'Cooking' is merely a technical name for this fermentation process. "When the fermentation has reached a certain stage, a matter requiring any- where from a few hours to a few days, the curer gives the signal to withdraw the plugs, and the liquid is run off. The olives are then thoroughly washed with fresh water until they are bright and clean and every trace of lime is re- moved. If you were to taste them now, you would find that they had lost most of their unpleasant bitterness. "After washing the fruit is put in casks filled with brine and the casks exposed, bungs open, to the sun. This induces a second fermentation, which takes place more or less rapidly, ac- cording to the weather. However, as Spain enjoys a fairly equable climate, a period of from three to four weeks gen- erally suffices. Throughout this second fermentation the olives keep throwing off the brine, so that the casks must be inspected daily and kept filled with new brine of the required strength. "Finally there comes a time when they no longer throw off any brine. They are then ready for 'sorting'—that is, for separation according to size and quality. All that are perfect—of proper color and free from scratches, spots and other blemishes—are caller) 'select- ed;' the rest 'culls.' The various sizes are known according to their weight, 80-90 meaning olives that count eighty to ninety to the kilo. "After 'sorting,' the olives are then put back into the casks, the bungs driven in, and the whole is ready for. ehlputont to the American importer'." "Ito you begin to pack as soon as they arrive in New York?" was the next leading question. "No, indeed! The long ocean voyage affects olives as much as it does hu- man beings. They generally succumb to `seasickness' en route—that is, we find them in some stage of fermenta- tion on arrival, which requires our con- stant care until they recover." "Doesn't this 'seasickness,' as you call it, impair the quality in any way?" "Not at all. It only makes the olive man feel the burden of his responsi- bilities. In every stage of fermentation there is a critical moment when he must exercise the greatest care and caution. If the olives recover, they are really much improved in quality. If they don't, they are hopelessly ruined. There is no intermediate condition."— Arco Special. The Ameer and the English. The late ameer of Afghanistan was one of the shrewdest and strongest men of his time. When the amount of the British subsidy was being fixed with him, it was explained that he must do this and- that and the other. "You remind me," said the ameer, "of a Persian tale. A certain man took a piece of cloth to a tailor and said, 'Make me a morning dress out of it and an evening dress and, while I think of it, a working coat.' The tailor did his best and brought them all as he was told. But they were of doll's size. What more could he do with the cloth?" The ameer was not a great admirer of the British system of government. On one occasion a very high personage was conferring with him and said in relation to some matter, "That is a very grave question, and I must refer it to her majesty's government." The ameer, who did not clearly distinguish the parts of the British constitution, replied: "When you ask me a question, I am able to answer at once; when I ask you one you say you must first ask 700 other gentlemen. I prefer our Afghan way of doing business." New South Wale■ Sheep. The first sheep imported into New South Wales arrived in the year 1788, when a flock of twenty-nine Indian sheep were brought from Calcutta. They were not a very promising lot, "small and unsightly, having large heads, Roman noses, drooping ears, narrow chests and shoulders, with high curved backs and very long legs; hav- ing, moreover, coarse and frequently black wool mixed with hair, the latter preponderating." They throve mar- velously, and, being judiciously crossed with sheep of a better stamp imported from England, the hair gradually dis- appeared and gave place to- a fleece. The first consignment of wool from Australia to England arrived in 1806, the shipment weighing 245 pounds. Poison Planta. Larks, starlings and finches eat the berries of the mountain ash (Pyrus ancuparia), but. they are poisonous to man. Goats eat oak twigs without any bad results, while- deer and cows are fatally inotsoned. Fights are sometimes thrown, but battles are pitched. -Omaha World. Harald. HIS NOSE WAS SAFE. - The Charter Commission. But r.is Nerves Were In a State of Cold Chill Collapse. "I was sitting 011 the veranda of a far western hotel one afternoon," said the Boston drummer, "and was lazily smoking one of the nicest meerschaum pipes you ever saw when out of the tail of my eye I saw that a native down at the other end of the veranda had his gun sighted at me. They were a wild lot around there, and I couldn't tell whether he meant to shoot me or the pipe. The chances were in favor of the pipe, however, and it seemed a good chance to test my nerve. I made up my mind to let him shoot and to pre- tend a careless air, but I'm telling you In the ten or fifteen seconds of waiting the sweat came out at every pore and my heart pounded my ribs sore. I felt a sort of tick at the bowl of the pipe, heard the crack of tho gun and knew that the bullet had passed through the pipe. I got a brace with my hands and feet and waited for a second bullet, and it went through the bowl after the first. I sat there until his fourth bul- let had hit the pipe and knocked the bowl off the stem, and then the shooter sauntered up to me and laughingly said: "'Excuse me, stranger, but I thought it was imitation.' "'Same as you are,' I replied. "My gibe hurt him, but he was man enough to tell everybody about my nerve, and the boys chipped in suffi- cient nuggets to buy me this fifty dol- lar smoker. Say, do you know what happened to me when I made an ex- cuse to go up stairs after my old corn- cob? I had no sooner got into my room than my knees gave out, chills galloped up my spine, and 1'11 be hanged if I didn't faint away and lie there for ten minutes. It had suddenly occurred to me that the bowl of that pipe was only sfx inches from my nose while the fel- low was doing his shooting, and I have not yet got over touching my nasal organ now and then to see if it is safe." Two Clrene Feats. "A great deal of unnecessary sym- pathy is wasted upon the circus man who stands up proudly in spangled tights and lets another circus man bring down a sledge hammer upon a rock placed upon his head with force enough to break it," says an old circus man. "This is spectacular, but is en- tirely painless and calls for no gerat strength or endurance. Upon the cra- nium of the strong man is put an iron contrivance weighing about 150 pounds and provided with cushions both above and where it rests upon the head. A pretty good sized rock is used, and the hammer is a heavy one, so you can see that the blow that cracks the rock is really a serious one. But most of the force is taken up by the rock and the rest by the ,iron and cushions, while the only sensation felt by the subject is a gentle tap. "No more difficult titan this is the act whereby the hero of the canvas tent permits a rock to be broken upon his chest with a blow from a sledge hammer. So long as the subject's back 18 free and does not rest against any .solid object the trick is perfectly sim- ple. A little illustration: Take a board up and let it lie freely in your hand and bit it smartly with a hammer. It is difficult to hurt your hand, and the thicker the board the less the sensa- tion. But now put your hand on the table and hit the board. Hurts, doesn't it? Well, it's the same with the rock on the chest." How Our Ancestors Quarreled. A study of mediaeval rural life is apt to give the impression that the princi- pal part of the life of the people was spent in quarreling or in the' commis- sion or prosecution of offenses. Our ancestors certainly were a very liti- gious and a very disorderly people. The records teem with instances of men and women drawing knives against one another, of breaking into houses, of prosecuting one another for slander. Then we have such entries as these: "It is ordained by common consent that all the women of the village must refrain their tongues from all slander- ing." "Thomas, son of Robert Smith, is fined 12 pence because bis wife Ag- nes beat Emma, the wife of Robert, the tailor, and Robert, the tailor, six- pence because his wife Emma swore at Agnes, the wife of Thomas." "It is en- joined upon all the tenants of the vil- lage that none of them attack any oth- ers in word or deed, with clubs or ar- rows or knives under penalty of paying 40 shillings." Such entries, frequently occurring, in addition to the innumerable instances of individual attack, slander, petty theft and other immorality seem to show a community of far from perfect virtue.—Lippin cott's. Italians Love Tomatoes. Italians more than any other people value tomatoes, and each one that comes to perfection is as carefully tend- ed as though it were an apple of gold. Not only do the housewives delight in the fresh vegetables themselves, but, generally speaking, those home tended are better than any purchased at the market, and so each one is jealously saved to make tomatoe sauce for the spaghetti, without which no Italian Sunday would be Sunday. One soapbox gardener one season sold enough toma- toes to give her quite a little pin money. No one who knows the Italian well will be surprised to learn that many of the boxes are devoted to peppers, for they in truth furnish much of their spice of life, and even the little Italian girls know how to stuff and cook them in a dozen different ways that tempt the palate.—Boston Transcript. Coloring of Flowers. A florist says that the law governing the coloring of flowers makes a blue rose impossible. According to this law the three colors red, blue and yellow never all appear in the same species of flowers. Any two may exist, but never the third. Thus we have the red and yellow roses, but no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yellow and blue in the various members of the viola family (as pansies, for in- stance), but no red; red and yellow gladioli, but no blue, and so on.

He knew the habits of birds and insects, of reptiles and fishes, and these be explained to Tommy with in- finite care until the boy came to dog his footsteps and sit beside him at all hours. The carved wooden toys, plaited whips of horsehair and leather and deftly fashioned bows and arrows that Green made for Tommy were the won- der and envy of the boys of the neigh- borhood, but they convinced Wilkins that his model hired man had spent much time in some penitentiary. Mean- while, as day by day she failed to penetrate the atmosphere of mystery which surrounded him, Mrs. Wilkins grew more suspicious.

To honor one's ancestors Is an ex- cellent and praiseworthy thing, but pride of ancestry is a very poor basis upon which to build one's whole life. °A man who had never done anything for himself was boasting one day in the presence of a self made man of the distinction of bis ancestors. "There is nothing," he said, "like having respect for one's ancestors to keep one out of degenerate ways." "It is a very good motive," said the self made man, "and you do well to be proud of your ancestors, but I think that my respect for my descendants is about as good a motive." "Respect for your descendants! What do you mean?" "Why, you see. I want them to be proud of their ancestors' For Their Own Calves, A couple of young men were out fish- ing one day and on returning were go- ing past a farmhouse and felt hungry. They yelled to the farmer's daughters, "Girls, have you any buttermilk?" The reply was gently wafted back to their ears, "Yes, but we keep it for our own calves." The boys calculated that they had business away, and they went.—Coun- try Gentleman. Theory and Praetice.

"While I was in practice," said Judge Gates of Kansas City, "I was before the supreme court on one occasion. While waiting for my case to be called I listened to a lawyer from the south- eastern part of the state arguing his case. He was at least 6, feet 7 inches tall and bad a voice so deep that when he spoke it seemed like the rumbling of Niagara. `I will read,' he said, 'from a work with which your honors are no doubtamiliar—Blackstone,' "The judges did not smile, although there was a decided twinkle In their eyes as they glanced at each other. The man read a few lines and then said: `There is reference here, your honors, to a footnote by Lord Gran- ville. I would have your honors pay particular attention to this note be- cause it is by Lord GranvIlle,' "The judges waited expectantly. The lawyer held the book in front of him, glanced at it two or three times and then coughed as many times in rather an mbnrrassed manner. Everybody waited for several seconds. Finally be said: 'Your honors, I see on closer inspection that this footnote is in Lat- in, so I reckon I'd better skip that.'" Her Chef From Paris. "An American woman," says the Bos- ton Journal, "who lived in Paris was famous for her cook. Her dinners were popular and celebrated, and the conver- sation was largely a tribute to the chef. The day came when she should return to the United States, Could the cook be persuaded to go with her? `What! Leave Paris? Never!' But she offered him a salary that was incredibly, pre- posterously high, and he went with her. "She had hardly settled her house when she gave a dinner party that she hoped would be sensational. Not one dish was fit to be eaten. The Lostess, almost hysterical,. after the gloomy meal was over rushed to the kitchen to find out whether the cook's art was a matter of Parisian atmosphere, and then, and only thea, she discovered that her famous chef had never cooked a dinner for her in Paris; -that he had got it all from a world famous boule- vard restaurant," III Clad Statues. We sympathize with the tailors of Berlin. They may well be indignant at the way sculptors libel teaming. If they have a Bismarck clothed in bad fitting garments, we, too, have a John Bright and a W. E. Forster portrayed in garments that would bring the blush to any tailor's cheek. Sculptors de- light in folds and looseness, and what care they that the coat buttons on the left side or the pocket flaps on one side are half as large again as on the other. Buttons and seams are often beneath their notice, and so they perpetuate monstrosities such as no man would or could wear, let alone any tailor make.— London Tailor and Cutter, All Banda Smoking. Tobacco is in Tehuantepec a great industry. One eveninlg some of our party of sixteen were kindly given a night's shelter, Mexican fashion, at a hacienda or farmhouse. Hotels, ex- cept in the large towns, are unknown. It was about 9 p. tn. when we arrived. Sitting on the wide veranda to receive us we beheld the entire family. On the right of the door was the lady of the house in a white cotton gown, smoking a cigar. Below her were the daughters and handmaidens, also smoking. On the other side of the door was the ranchero or master himself, with his sons and menservants. Every one was employed in rolling the tobacco leaf into cigars, and every one was smok- ing, including a Iittle boy not quite three years old, who had a full sized cigar in his baby mouth, while in his left hand he held a banana from which he took bites between the puffs, occa- sionally stopping to play with a small puppy dog. "Does he often smoke?" I asked in amazement "Si, senora, Ile smokes three or four cigars a day.All our children have done so at that age." Adaptability of temperament to climate!—Fortnightly Review. What tttt Bureau Really Is. When parchment was used for writ- ing and when bookbinding was in its infancy and a bound book was a costly luxury, it was the custom- to place the book on a piece of cloth or a strip of wool in order to prevent the binding from possible damage on the rough wood of the table. Those who had to deal with money also had a strip of cloth on the table or counter so that the coins should not roll. This strip was called "bureau." In course of tiny the custom chang- ed, and the same word was applied to her foot on it cushion, while the con- cert took place, and' the object of re- hearsal had been to accustom the horses to a full string band lest they should take fright and bolt with her. At the end of the performance an ex- sited dignitary of the court bade Strauss follow him to a splendid grand piano, saying: "Now be good enough to play me all the newest Vienna music." Although he was pretty fatigued by his three rehearsals and state perform- ance, Strauss thought it expedient to comply, but after he had played con- tinuously for over an hour he stopped, saying, "I presume that will be suffi- cient?" "I am not at all tired," coolly rejoin- ed his excellency. "But 1 am!" said Strauss and rose from the instrument. — Youth's Com- panion. TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK ? Is Silence Hellen Mr Is It Foolish and Unsocial? Is the old figure of a "golden silence" being washed away in the flood of twentieth century volubility? And is it right that It should be so washed away? We do not know the answers to these questions. Perhaps you, gen- tle reader. know and will tell. We do know that there is a good deal more talk in the world than would have been considered strictly necessary by our forbears, 1? you don't believe this, go to the nearest library and ask to see the bound volumes of The Congression- al Record, You might also take along a certificate of sanity in case the libra- riau became alarmed at the request. The old timers used to tell the youth of the land to consider if what they were about to say were not only "true and tried," but also "necessary." The idea held for quite a time that it was as reprehensible to waste words as to dissipate wealth. Our old friend Montaigne, however, had a tender place in his heart for the talker. , He declared, "The most nat- ural and fruitful exercise of the mind is conversation, and I find the use of it more sweet than any other action in life," In some quarters members of the fem- inine sex are credited with an indorse- ment of Mr. Montaigne's sentiment, Is it wise to talk much? Or is it fool- ish? Is silence golden? Or is it unso- cial and therefore against civilization? What do you think?—New York Tele- gram. ' A Wide Open Library.

"Oh, it's good, bad, indifferent, grand and squalid," answered the mighty talker. "It's everything. It's in un- derground trains and on buses, in ae- rated teashops, smart restaurants, at churches, stations, parties, receptions, meetings, jubilees and sickbeds; you find it in prisons and boudoirs.

One night after the rabbits had been destroyed the writer happened to visit bis former preserve and detected a man skulking along under' the trees, with a large bag slung over his shoul- der. De Maupassant supposed that the man had come to steal wood and chal- lenged him. The supposed thief took to his heels, leaving behind him his bag, which was found to be tilled with rabbits of both sexes. The man was an honest neighbor, who, shrewdly reasoning that there could be no dam- ages if there . were no rabbits, had thought it advisable to restock the warren himself. Bees of Fine Discrimination. Morelia has some other odd things -- for example, the sweetmeat stands un- der the portales or arcades, where friendly bees and wasps devoured the candies and were not scared off. I asked an old woman sitting behind a large stand loaded with candied fruit, dulces of all sorts, sugar plums and molasses candy: "Won't these bees sting a fellow?" "Oh, no, senor; don't be afraid. They are muy inteligentes and can tell a cus- tomer right off." "But would they sting a thief, for in- stance?" "Certainly, senor. They are very in- telligent. Poor things! They do no harm and are much company. They must live!" I watched these winged insects, with all their panoply of war ready, and was fascinated. Then I asked another question: "But would not a Morelian bee sting a Yankee?" "Not if he were a customer. cabal- lero!"—Mexican Cor. Boston Herald. Safe Occupation. Bridget, the pretty young maid of all work employed in a Boston family, confided to b»r mistress when taking service that she had lately become en- gaged to be married- She stated, how- ever, that she and Tim would have to wait two years, and in the meantime she wished to be earning money. When Tim made his first call one evening, the family remarked that they had never known so quiet a man. The sound of Bridget's voice rose now and then from the kitchen, but Tim's words were apparently few and far between. "Tim is not much of a talker, is he, Bridget?" said the mistress of the house the next morning. "I should scarcely have known there was any one with you last evening." "He'll talk more when we've been en- gaged a while longer, I'm thinking, ma'am," said little Bridget. "He's too bashful yet to do anything but eat, ma'am, when he's wid me!"—youth's Companion_ Saw the Joke. A prominent Bostonian inquired of a London shopkeeper for Hare's "Walks In London," The shopkeeper, after much search, found it on his shelves, but in two volumes. "Ah," said the Bostonian, "you have your Hare parted in the middle over here." "What?" queried the Englishman blankly, passing his bands over his hair. The next day the Bostonian called for another book, "I'm so glad you returned," said the Englishman, "I want to tell you I see that joke." Cared. The following is a Chinese joke: In a certain house there was a baby that annoyed every one by its contin- ual squalling. At last a physician was called in. He administered a bolus of the soothing virtues of which he had a high opinion and offered to pass the night in the house to observe the ef- fects of his remedy. After a few hours, hearing no noise, he exclaimed: "Good! The child is cured!" "Yes," replied the attendant, "the child bas indeed stop- ped crying, but the mother has begun to mourn," Relieved. "That must be a pretty bad tooth- ache to swell your face like that. Why don't you see a dentist?" "I did call on your friend, Dr. Pul- lem, yesterday and experienced great relief."

It is stirpe'isine. or, more properly speaking, the large variety of footwear E seen in the shops this year Is amazing. Looking at the shoes from an artistic standpoint, there is notlrinJ beautiful about them, but they are decidedly catchy and are more comfortable than they have been for several years. The extreme point has been done away with entirely, and, while a short time ago it seemed the object to make the foot look as long as possible, the intention is now changed, and the foot Is broadened. Unfortunately (?) it was Impossible to broaden the foot, so the soles of the shoe have been extended. In a great many instances the heels have been extended also. The French heel is being worn a great deal, and the short person hails it with delight, although it is disliked by some who are prejudiced. It is worn on the street as much as any oth- er heel. The shoes are made of various materials—patent leather, kid and calf- skin. The patent leather is very popu- lar just now and has kid, calfskin or cloth tops. A very nobby one to be worn with a rainy day suit is a button- ed patent leather with a calfskin top, with a military heel and a wide, ex- tended sole. But it is the low cut that is enjoying the greatest popularity. They are worn by every one and really look very styl- ish. They are tied with very wide ties, sone of which are colored and have brass tips on. The ties are supposed to match the stockings if the shoe is worn by a woman and match the necktie if it Is worn by a man. Openwork stock- ings are worn a great deal, and it is amusing to see au innocent youth sit down and carefully lift his trousers above where they really ought to be to simply skow his openwork hose. Talk about the vanity of woman!—Pittsburg Press. a.verybody knows what it is to have o word ou the tip of the tongue and yet not be able to speak it. The word is $nowtperfectly well, and yet we can, not for the life of us give it utterance. More often than not it is a common word in everyday use. But it will not be spoken when wanted. What is the secret of this "word forgetfulness?" Doctors call it aphasia. They cannot explain it. but say it is a tittle hitch in the working of the brain or intellect. The Chinese, who have done so many quaint and clever things. recognized the difficulty thousands of years ago and invented a very ingenious wv..y of making the best of things. They tnauufactured a number of words and sentences that meant abso- lutely nothing, mere sound without sense. Wben .a Chinaman iu the course of conversation comes to a word that he has on the tip of his tongue. but can- not speak. he just makes use of the meaningless phrases invented for that purpose until -he recalls the word he wants and goes on with the conversa- tion. The trick, for trick it Is, Is much in use to puhlic speaking and certainly Is an improvement on the "er—er—ers." cougbings and throat clearings that so plentifully besprinkle our own after dinner -orations. The speaker preserves his dignity and gives himself time for thonght. Very often the greater the desire to speak the missing word the greater the difficulty or sheer impossibility. The man in the Arabian story could not re- member the words "Open.sesame," al- though be was in danger of bis life. There are many cases on record of sol- diers, even officers. forgetting the pass- word and being shot down by their own sentries. At the critical moment the all important word that they thought they knew as well as their own names escapes them. They struggle to recall it, but the very effort makes it more difficult, and they pay with their lives. A man may sometimes be tortured and yet be unable to speak the word he most desires to utter. Spies hare been captured and have gone to their death in silenee not because they have not been eager to betray their comrades. but because under the stress and ex- citement of the situation they have to- tally forgotten the information rh..y 4 :rld convey. A celebrated ease of this kind was made the subject of a play produced in London some years ago. called "A Question of Memory " No doubt every reader will be able to recall instances in whit -h he has suf- fered from this "word forgetfulness' One can often remember the initial let- ter of the word. hut not the word itself. It is still on the tip of the tongue. even after one has given up the struggle to recollect it. Actors sometimes forget a word or two in their parts that no effort of their own rem give hack to them at the mo- ment. But the wings reached and the strain removed they are again imme- diately wore' perfect 91111 at a Toss to explain their forgetfulness k' whole part is sonnet Imes ten -mitten Thle usu- ally happens .after a very long rim. During the rut) of "The Second Mrs. Tsnquera;v" Mrs. Patrick Campbell one night found herself on the stage as in- nocent of any knowledge of her part as any member- of it)e atellcnee She made desperate Alerts to "find herself," but it was no good That performance she had to react' the tart through from be- ginning t0 end. Namee of people are the words that slip our tneteories most frequently We see a face we know. and yet we cannot fit a name to It. We rare shaken by the hand or slapped on the back. and all the while we are hard rat work trying to think of the name of the person who is doing it. Kings are credited with royal rneniories. and It is rare to find a sovereign who has not a wonderful memory for faees. But he usually bas sorue one at his elbow who can jog bis memory for names. It Is not niways safe to fish for a name wanted .When Ellen Terry and Henry_ Irving were in America one year. they met a gentleman who. they knew, had reason to expect that they could remember his name. But this they failed to do. So Miss Terry ap- proached hire and said: "Sir Henry and cannot agree as to the exact spelling of your name. Will you please put us right?" "Certainly." -was the reply. "It is J o -n -e -s!" Aphasia Is divided by rhos who have studied the subject Into "w rd blind- ness" and "word deafness." A man who is "wo:d blind" may be able to pronounce the name of letters. but can- not understand the meanings of the words they form. A man who is "word deaf" can understand ordinary sounds and music. but cannot understand spo- ken words. His speech is often mere senseless jargon. But the passing forgetfulness of a word has little to do with these more serious forms of the complaint We swallow words tinder the influence. of excitement or more often of fatigue. People getting better from a serious ill- ness are tormented by. the loss of com- mon words. This is particularly the case after influenza.

The young wom- en run 50 per cent more slowly than men; they jump 62 per cent as far— the average of three events in eacu case—and they throw a baseball only 45 per cent as far. But it must be re- membered that these figures are front a single woman's college, as against the men's records for all colleges. The lat- ter are the supreme achievement of years of selection and training and of inherited traditions of "form." Where women have been trained for acrobats as carefully as men much less allow- ance need be made for sex. Profes- sional women gymnasts are little less efficient than men in skill and agility, and sometimes even in strength. ,The softness of their muscles is favorable to rapid and dextrous motion. Some trainers have even held that there is practically no difference in possible muscular ability between men and women of the same size. Benefits of Hot Water Drinking. In eases of constipation a glass of hot water taken immediately upon ris- ing each morning will be found very beneficial. - A glass of hot water taken immedi- ately before retiring will induce a rest- ful sleep. As a cure for rheumatism, gout, dys- pepsia and stomach troubles the drink- ing of hot water will give immense re- lief. The water should be taken as hot as possible about an hour before meals when the stomach is empty. One glass- ful is usually sufficient, but in severe cases of illnessseveral glasses are to be advised. The hot water thus taken acts as an irritant on the coatings 011 the mucous membrane of the stomach and respiratory tubes and excites them to action. They are thus able to throw off diseased matter, and the water car- ries this matter off through the kid- neys. — Nora B. Werner in American Queen. Shirt Waist Inventor. To Mrs. Robert Osborn of New York belongs the credit of being the inventor of the now popular shirt waist. - A member of the fashionable set at New- port, Mrs. Osborn was an enthusiastic tennis player and instructed a man shirtmaker of New York to build her a waist after her design to allow free play to the muscles while in active ex- ercise. That first waist was made of pale blue percale, and Mrs. Osborn had the good fortune to originate a style which has stood the test of time. Dur- ing- the recent financial crash her hus- band lost his fortune, and Mrs. Osborn has started to build a competence by designing gowns. Her dramatic break- fasts and musical teas have won for themselves a place in New York's Four Hundred, and they are said to be among the most successful functions ever held in that city. Eggs of Crabs and Lobsters. Crabs and lobsters are hatched from egg,, resembling upon birth nothing so much as the animalcule shown by the microscope iu a drop of ditch water. They are as unlike the shellfish, they are to become in mature life as a grub is unlike a butterfly. In the case of the crab the egg clusters are attached beneath the animal after extrusion, ' while with the lobster they become fastened to the tail, which. by its fan- ning motion, increases the stream of oxygenated air through and among the ova.

This is from a fragment of piano fin- gering left by Clopin: "No one notices inequality in the power of the notes of a scale when it is played very fast and equally as regards time. In a good mechanism the aim is not to play ev- erything with an equal sound, but to acquire a beautiful quality of touch and a perfect shading. "For a long time players have acted against nature in seeking to give eqnal power to each finger. Ou the contrary. each finger should have an appropriate part assigned it. The thumb has the greatest power, being the thickest fin- ger and the freest. Then comes the lit- tle finger, at the other extremity of the hand. The middle finger Is the main support of the hand and is assisted by the first. Finally comes the third. the weakest one. "Asto this Siamese twin of the middle finger some players try to force It with all their might to become independent. a thing impossible and most likely un- necessary. There are, then, many dif- ferent qualities of sound. just as there are several fingers. The point 1s ro utilize the differences, and this, in other words, is the art of fingering."—Hune- ker's "Chopin, the Man and His Mu- sic." Insects Become Intoxicated. Intoxication from the nectar and pol- len of plants has been a subject of in vestigation by -Dr. J. M. Weir, Jr. This affects insects, and it appears that the cosmos flower is specially potent as a source of drunkenness in bees and oth- er nectar loving creatures. A bee so drunk that it could scarcely get upon its legs was taken to the laboratory and placed about two inches from a cosmos blossom. It immediately stag- gered to the flower and began to suck the nectar and in a few moments tum- bled over, a senseless and almost inert victim of appetite. Drunken beetles found under the blossoms prove that the pollen must have the same effect as the nectaries. The experimenter swallowed a half teaspoonful of the pollen and in about 15 minutes experienced a feeling of ex- hilaration, with acceleration of the pulse and warmth. An injection into the arm of half a dram of liquid dis- tilled from an infusion of the nectaries caused exhilaration for half an hour, followed by nausea. • When Everything Sticks. "In mueey weather," said the retired burglar. "1 always used to stop work not because work was unpleasant then, but on account of everything sticking so. "You couldn't tell what might hap- pen. Anything and everything was lia- ble to stick and make more or less noise when you finally got it open. A window might stick at first and then go up with a hang.

That is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottommost. The frailest portion of a coat, in re- spect to shape retaining qualities—no matter how well made—is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger mer- chant tailor always cautions his cus- tomer to "wear it buttoned a few days so that the collar -may set pro;rrly." Then, this admitted, it follows that tugs and strains affecting this part of the garment tend to destroy its sym- metry. Drawing the coat together by the top button and buttgnhole for the purpose of fastening exerts a pull all around the shoulders and neck region, which, by repetition. In time will give the smartest coat a bang dog appear- ance.—Chat. Made Good Matches. She -1 can't make out bow it is that Mrs. Wise has fish for nearly every meal.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM 8T., NEW YORK, INDIAN PRAIRIEiDOG HUNTS The Little Animals'' Are Deemed a Dainty Dish by the Navajoes. The Navajo Indian, while he cannot be prevailed upon to eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat prairie dogs. Large communities of these small animals abound on the western plains. and the Navajo has resorted to many ingenious methods for trapping his coveted dain- ty. One of them is by the aid of a bit of mirror placed at the entrance to a burrow. When the animal ventures from his bedroom, deep under ground, he sees a familiar image mocking him at the front door, and he hurries out to confront the impudent intruder, when he is pinned to the ground with an -ar- row. But the most effective method is what the Indians call the rain hunt. As soon as the steady downpour of sum- mer rains begin every Navajo who can walk repairs to the prairie dog village with hoes. sharp sticl-s or any digging implement. With these they hollow out trenches that will lead the storm water into as many burrows as possi- ble. Soon a little stream is pouring down each small home, and the inmate, much disturbed, pops out to see what the matter can be. :May of the ani- mals remain under ground until they are drowned, and their bodies float to the surface. After such a hunt, in which many pounds of prairie clogs are generally secured, there is a feast for many days in the Navajo huts.—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. The Time For Planting Bulbs. There is no definite rule to be laid down as to the length of time in which bulbs should be left in cold storage. As a general thing, top growth will not begin until root growth is completed. This nearly always takes from six weeks to two mouths. It is therefore generally safe to begin bringing Octo- ber planted bulbs to the living room in December. Those desired for later flowering can be left in cold storage, where they will remain dormant as to top growth. By bringing bulbs to light and warmth at intervals of a week or ten days we secure a succession of bloom which makes it possible for us to brighten our windows with their beau- tiful flowers during the greater part of winter.—New Lippincott.

Any one who will take the trouble to compare the lunch and dinner menu cards of some of the leading restau- rants of New York will make a rather surprising discovery. He will ascertain that the prices on many dishes are cut on the diener card from 10 cents to 20 cents. A gentleman whose curiosity was aroused by this singular practice to the extent that he went to the bead waiter 'for a mors satisfactory reason than the table waiter could advance was given this explanation: "You see," said the waiter, "the gen- erality of men don't care for a heavy lunch. One dish and a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, with bread and butter, are sufficient for them; consequently to prevent them from getting off too cheap we have to put up the price of single dishes. At dinner time it is dif- ferent. A man wants a number of dish es for dinner, and so we can afford to make our meats and fish cheaper." "But do you think that is exactly"— "Honest? Why not? It is always honest to take what people are willing to pay you for what you have to sell, Is it not?"—New York Times. Why Hindoos Don't Go Mad. Why are there so few lunatic asy- lums and so small a proportion of in- sane persons in India? That is a ques- tion which many a traveler has won- deringly asked. The Hindoos regulate their lives en- tirely in accordance with their religion— that is, their working, eating, sleeping, as well as 'what we usually regard as our "life" in the religious sense of the word. Everything is arranged for them, and they follow the rules now just as they did 2,000 years ago. This constant observance of the same rules for twen- ty centuries has molded the brains of the race into one shape, as it were, and although their rites are queer enough, yet there is but an occasional example of that striking deviation from the common which is called insanity in countries inhabited by the white race. They are fatalists too. With them it is a case of "what is to be will be" carried to the extreme. This has in time given them the power to take all things calmly and so freed them from the anxiety that drives so many white men into the lunatic asylums. Met Hits Match., That well known historical person- age, Augustus the Strong. elector of Saxony, bas furnished the subject for many a tale of his wonderful muscular power. We need refer only to one characteristic story in which, however, he met his match. On the occasion in question he entered a blacksmith's shop. 'Ib show his suit hole strong he was, picking up several horseshoes, he broke one after the other, asking the blacksmith whether he had no better. When it came to paying the bill, the Elector Augustus threw a six dollar piece on the anvil. It was a very thick coin. The blacksmith took It up, broke it in half, saying, "Pardon me. but I have given you a good horseshoe, and I expect a good coin in return." Another six dollar piece was given him, but he broke that and five or six others, when the humiliated -elector put an end to the performance by banding the blacksmith a louisd'or, pacifying him by saying, "The dollars were prob- ably made of bad metal, but this gold - piece, I hope, is good."

That bugh words and a kind heart may go together was never better prov- ed than by an incident on a Madison avenue car the other, day. The con- ductor was speaking to an old woman, who walked with a crutch and was ev- idently, to judge from her clothes, very poor. "This car doesn't go to Astor place, I tell you," he said harshly. "You'll have to get off at Eighth street." Site complained pitifully at having to walk the extra distance, and again he spoke roughly. The car stopped. "Here's your place," he said. "Get off." She was so decrepit that he had to help her rise from her seat. Stumbling, she reached' the rear platform, the con- ductor following. The other passen- gers looked at him as though they thought him a heartless wretch. On the platform he took her arm to help her down to the street. As be did so the passengers next to the door saw him slip a coin that seemed to be a five cent piece into her hand. Then he helped her to alight gently, saying as she finally reached the pavement: "Step lively!" With a scowl, as though angry, he came back into the car. It was clear that he wanted the passengers to think him a most ferocious man. The old woman stood resting on the corner and fingered her coin as the car sped down town.—New York Times. How Restaurants Came. The restaurant of the present time bad its origin in the first French revo- lution, toward the close of the eight- eenth century. And the reputation of the French for good cookery and the delicacy of taste in eating as well as in producing tr.othsome dishes and mor- sels dates practically from the same time. That revolution meant ruin to many noble families, and their downfall meant ruin also for their chefs; so some of the latter hit upon the idea of open- ing houses where dainties, prepared by these skilled bands, could be obtained. If the experiment succeeded, the chefs would be as well off as when in serv- ice. The idea was pleasing to the pub- lic, the restaurants did a large busi- ness and the proprietors had no reason to regret the revolution from a mone- tary point of view. Then it occurred to others that the people might appreciate being educated up to this fine cookery, and many books on the culinary art were .pub- lished and sold well. Oue of the most noted of these was "The Gour•mau Al- manack," which appeared in 1798. Restaurant really means "restoring" and was applied to these places be- cause you went there to have some- thing to revive or restore your failIu strength. Jenny Washington. Philip Vickers Fithian, a tutor at Nomini Hail, Virginia, in 1774, gives this description of Washington's niece, Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently she was a personable young lady. with all the graces of her time: Miss Washington is about seventeen; She has not a handsome Face, but is neat in her Dress, of an agreeable Size, & well proportioned, and has an easy winning Behaviour; She is not forward to begin a conversation, yet when spo- ken to she is extremely affable, with- out assuming any Girlish affectation or pretending to he overcharg'd with Wit; She plays well on the Harpsi- chord & Spinet; understands tire prin- ciples of Musick, & therefore performs her Tunes in perfect time, a Neglect of which always snakes musick intolera- ble, but it is a fault almost universal among young Ladies in the practice; she sings likewise to her instrument, has a strong full voice and a well - judging Ear; but most of the Virginia Girls think it Labour quite sufficient to thump the Keys of a Harpsichord into the air of a tune mechanically, & think it would be Slavery to submit to the Drudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick. Peat In Holland. Much of the surface of Holland is covered by peat beds, but they are beds of two different kinds of peat. That of the low beds lies saturated with water under a layer of clay. Aft- er being dredged from the water it is spread upon the ground and prepared and cut for market, where it is known as hard peat, or, rather, as bard turf. This kind of peat is extensively used In Dutch houses, where there are no open fires, and in winter the rooms are heated by stoves. These stoves are mostly stoked with this hard peat, for which, too, other and more delicate uses are found. For example, every Dutch household possesses a tea stove. In the tea stove, which is a portable metal bucket, often of quaint and pleasant design, a lump of glowing peat is placed and the ket- tle swung over it. The hard, close grained peat burns without a flame and without smoke and is safe, there- fore, and it gives off a slight and not disagreeable odor. Requested Not to Wear Trails. The authorities in Ems have issued a notice in regard to the wearing of trains by women, in which the danger is pointed out of causing dust to fly about in a town where there are so many invalids. The printed notice concludes thus: "Ladies will perhaps find comfort in the fact that men are also requested to refrain from smoking during the hours when the Invalids are taking their walks. "Should this wish of the authorities not - be complied- with, then a police or- der will be issued, which will be strict-' is eu:urceti."—Loudou Hail. Breaking It Gently. "Well, John, how are things going at home?" "Why, sir, the magpie's dead." "Poor Jack! What took him off?" "We think, sir, it was eating too much horse meat." "How's that? Where did he get the horse meat?" "I am sorry to tell you, sir, that both the carriage horses died." "The horses dead! What ailed them?" "It must have been overwork draw- ing water to the fire." "Fire! What fire?" "Why, sir, the hall was burned to the ground." "Great heavens! How did that hap- -pen?" "It caught fire from the funeral torch- es, sir." "Whose funeral?" "Your mother's, sir." "My poor mother dead! How long was she 111? What was the matter?" "Well, sir, she never held up her head after your father's death." "My father too! Tell me the cause. Speak, man!" "He took to his bed as soon as he heard the bad news, sir." "Bad news! What do you mean?" "That the vessel that held his whole fortune had been lost at sea." The Common Chord. James Buckbam, one of our minor poets, put into beautiful verse an inci- dent which occurred during the civil war. He calls it "The Common Chord." The incident was this: Two great ar- mies, one wearing the blue and one the gray, were drawn up In prepara- tion for battle. As the evening fell the bands began to play. "Dixie" by the southerners was followed by "Yankee Doodle" by the northerners, and "Ma- ryland, My Maryland," drew out "Hail Columbia." "Beautiful Girl of the South" was answered by "Just Before the Battle, Mother." Each side mock- ed and jeered the other's music and cheered their own until the stars came out and silence fell. Then, sweet and low, a band far up the line began to play "Home, Sweet Home." Another and another joined until all the bands on both sides were playing in unison, and, stronger and more beautiful still, the men on both sides were singing the words. The common chord had been struck, and the thousands of combatants were at one with the sentiment, "There's no place like home." The Example of Paganini. A story is told of how Paganini or.ce came into the concert room, took the violin and touched the strings. First one string broke, and a smile went round the room; then another string broke, and there was more audible ex- pression of mockery. When a third,, -- string broke, many people laughed out- right at his discomfiture. But Page- nini stood forth with his violin as though nothing had happened and played on the one string, and the peo- ple ceased to smile, but listened spell- bound. Some of those who had derid- ed him began to weep, and some even prayed. Many a man had fallen helpless by the wayside when some great catas- trophe turned the current of his life aside. The brave man pushes forward with one remaining talent and plucks victory from defeat. A Desperate Chance. A Russian exile relates how be once saved himself by a desperate artifice. A police official searched his house for compromising papers. There was in his possession a document the discov- ery of which meant serious danger to himself and his friends. Wherever he might hide it, it seemed certain that it would be found. He coolly handed the document to the official, who scarcely glanced at it and handed it back. After the most careful search the of- ficial, his nose blackened with soot and his hair decorated with feathers, for he had even examined the stovepipes and the bedding, departed empty band- ed.

Looking at the shoes from an artistic feverybotly knows what it is to have a word on the tip of the tongue and yet not be able to speak it. The word is kinown perfectly well. and yet we can, not for the life of 'us give it utterance. More often than not it is a common word in everyday use. But it will not be spoken when wanted. What is the secret Of this "word forgetfulness?" Doctors call it aphasia. They cannot explain it. but say it is a little hitch in the working of the brain or intellect Theilinese, who have done so many quaint land clever things. recognized the difficulty thousands of years ago and invented a very legenious wry of making the best of things. They manufactured a number of words and sentences that meant abso- lutely nothing. mere sound without sense. When a Chinaman in the course of conversation comes to a word that he has on the tip of his tongue. but ean- not speak. he just makes use of the meaningless phrases invented for that purpose until he recalls the word he wants and goes on with the conversa- tion. The trick, for trick it is, is much in use in pubile speaking and certainly is an improvement on the "er—er—e%" coughings and throat clearings that so plentifully besprinkle our own after dinner orations. The speaker preserves his dignity and gives himself time for thonght. • Very often the greater the •desire to speak the missing.word the greater the difficulty or sheer impossibility. The man in the Arabian story could not re- member the words "Open sesalue." al- though he was in danger of his life. There are mnny cases on record of sol- diers. even officers. forgetting the pass- word and being: shot down by their own sentries. At the critical moment the all important word that they thought they knew as well as their own names escapes them. They struggle to recall it. but the very effort makes it more difficult, and they pay with their lives. A man may sometimes be tortured and yet be unable to speak the word he most desires to utter. Spies have been captured and have gone to their death in slienee not because they have not been eager to betray their comrades. bnt because under the stress and ex- citement of the situation they have to- tally forgotten the information thy 4 old convey. A celebrated ease of this kind was made the subject of a play produced In London some years ago, called "A Questicn of Memory " No doubt every eeader will be able to recall instances In which he has suf- fered from this "word forgetfulness."

The extreme point has been done away with entirely, and, while a short time ago it seemed the object to make the foot look as long as possible, the intention is now changed, and the foot is broadened. Unfortunately (?) it was impossible to broaden the foot, so the sol gA of the shoe have been extended. In II great many instances the heels have been extended also. The French heel is being worn a great deal, and the short person hails it with delight, although it is disliked by some who are prejudiced. It is worn on the street as much as any oth- er heel. The shoes are made of various materials—patent leather, kid and calf- skin. The patent leather Is very popu- lar just now and has kid, calfskin or cloth tops. A very flabby one to be worn with a rainy day suit is a button- ed patent leather with a calfskin top, with a military heel and a wide, ex- tended sole. But it is the low cut that is enjoying the greatest popularity. They are worn by every one and really look very styl- ish. They are tied with very wide ties, some of which are colored and have brass tips on. The ties are supposed to match the stockings if the shoe is worn by a woman and match the necktie if it is worn by a man. Openwork stock- ings are worn a great deal, and it is amusing to see an innocent youth sit down and carefully lift his trousers above where they really ought to be to simply skow his openwork hose.

In cases of constipation a glass of hot water taken Immediately upon ris- ing each morning will be found very beneficial. - A glass of hot water taken immedi- ately before retiring will induce a rest- ful sleep. As a cure for rheumatism, gout, dys- pepsia and stomach troubles the drink- ing of hot water will give immense re- lief. The water should be taken as hot as possible about an hour before meals when the stomach is empty. One glass- ful is usually sufficient, but in severe cases of illness several glasses are to be advised. The hot water thus taken acts as an irritant on the coatings on the mucous membrane of the stomach and respiratory tubes and excites them to action. They are thus able to throw off diseased matter, and the water car- ries this matter off through the kid- neys. — Nora B. Werner in American Queen. Shirt Waist Inventor.

This is from a fragment of piano fin- gering left by Chopin: "No one notices inequality in the power of the notes of a scale when it is played very fast and equally as regards thne. In a good mechanism the aim is not to play ev- erything with an equal sound, but to acquire a beautiful quality of touch and a perfect shading. "For a long time players have acted against nature in seeking to give equal power to each finger. On the contrary. each finger should have an appropriate part assigned it. The thumb has the greatest power, being the thickest fin- ger and the freest. Then conies the lit- tle finger, at the otheteextremity of the hand. The middle finger is the rain support of the hand and is assisted by the first. Finally comes the third. the weakest one. "As to this Siamese twin of the middle finger sone players try to force it with all their might to become independent, a thing impossible and most likely un- necessary. There are. then, many dif- ferent qualities of sound. just as there are several fingers. The point Is to utilize the differences, and this, in other words. is the art of fingering."—Hune- ker's "Chopin, the Man and His Mu- sic." Insects Become Intoxicated. Intoxication from the nectar and pol- len of plants has been a subject of in- vestigation by -Dr. J. M. Weir, Jr. This affects insects, and it appears that the cosmos flower Is specially potent as a source of drunkenness in bees and oth- er nectar loving creatures. A bee so drunk that it could scarcely get upon its legs was taken to the laboratory and placed about two inches from a cosmos blossom. It immediately stag- gered to the flower and began to suck the nectar and in a few woments tum- bled over, a senseless and almost inert victim of appetite. Drunken beetles found under the blossoms prove that the pollen must have the same effect as the nectaries. The experimenter swallowed a half teaspoonful of the pollen and in about 15 minutes experienced a feeling of ex- hilaration, with acceleration of the pulse and warmth. An injection into the arm of half a dram of liquid dis- tilled from an infusion of the nectaries caused exhilaration for half an hour, followed by nausea. - When Everything Sticks.

That is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottommost. The frailest portion of a coat. in ,re- spect to shape retaining quslities—no matter how well made—is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger mer- chant tailor always cautions his cus- tomer to "wear it buttoned a few days so that the collar -may set prom rly." Then, this admitted, it follows that tugs and strains affecting this part of the garment tend to destroy its sym- metry. Drawing the coat together by the top button and buttonhole for the purpose of fastening exerts a pull all around the shoulders and neck region. which, by repetition. in time will give the smartest coat a bang dog appear- ance.—Chat Made Good Matches.

INDIAN PRAIRIEADOG HUNTS The Little Animals Are Deemed a Dainty Dish by the Navajoes. The Navajo Indian, while he cannot be prevailed upon to eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat prairie dogs. Large communities of these small animals abound on the western plains, and the Navajo has resorted to many ingenious methods for trapping his coveted dain- ty. One of them is by the aid of a bit of mirror placed at the entrance to a burrow. When the animal ventures from his bedroom, deep under ground, he sees a familiar image mocking him at the front door, and he hurries out to confront the impudent intruder, when he is pinned to the ground with an -ar- row. But the most effective method is what the Indians call the rain hunt. As soon as the steady downpour of sum- mer rains begin every Navajo who can walk repairs to the prairie dog village with hoes, sharp stici-s or any digging implement. With these they hollow out trenches that will lead the storm water into as many burrows as possi- ble. Soon a little stream is pouring down each small home, and the inmate, much disturbed, pops out to see what the matter can be. Many taf the ani- mals remain under ground until they are drowned, and their bodies float to the surface. After such a hunt, in which many pounds of prairie dogs are generally secured, there is a feast for niany days in the Navajo huts.—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. The Time For Planting Bulbs. There is no definite rule to be laid down as to the length of time in which bulbs should be left in cold storage. As a general thing, top growth will not begin until root growth is completed. This nearly always takes from six weeks to two mouths. It is therefore generally safe to begin bringing Octo- ber planted bulbs to the living room in December. Those desired for later flowering can be left in cold storage, where they will remain dormant as to top growth. By bringing bulbs to light and warmth at intervals of a week or ten days we secure a succession of bloom which makes it possible for us to brighten our windows with their beau- tiful flowers during the greater part of winter.—New Lippincott.

Any one who will take the trouble to compare the lunch and dinner menu cards of some of the leading ,restau- rants of New York will make a rather surprising discovery. He will ascertain that the prices on many dishes are cut on the dinner card from 10 cents to 20 cents. A gentleman whose curiosity was aroused by this singular practice to the extent that he went to the head waiter for a mor: satisfactory reason than the 'table waiter could advance was given this explanation: "You see," said the waiter, "the gen- erality of men don't care for a heavy lunch. One dish and a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, with bread and butter, are sufficient for them; consequently to prevent them from getting off too cheap we have to put up the price of single dishes. Al dinner time it is dif- ferent. A man wants a uumber of dish-. es for dinner, and so we can afford to make our meats and fish cheaper." "But do you think that is exactly"— "Honest? Why not? It is always honest to take what people are willing to pay you for what you have to sell, is it not?"—New York Times. Why Hindoos Don't Go Mad. Why are there so few lunatic asy- lums and so small a proportion of in- sane persons in India? That is a ques- tion which many a traveler has won- deringly asked. The Hindoos regulat their lives en- tirely in accordance with their religion— that is, their working, eating, sleeping, as well as what we usually regard as our "life" in the religious sense of the word. Everything Is arranged for them, and they follow the rules now just as they did 2,000 years ago. This constant observance of the same rules for twen- ty centuries has molded the brains of the race into one shape, as it were, and although their rites are queer enough, yet there is but an occasionaVexample of that striking deviation from the common which is called insanity in countries inhabited by the white race. They are fatalists too. With them it is a case of "what is to be will be" carried to the extreme. This has in time given them the power to take all things calmly and so freed them from the anxiety that drives so many white men into the lunatic asylums. Met His Match. That well known historical person- age, Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, has furnished the subject for many a tale of his wonderful muscular power. We need refer only to one characteristic story in which, however, he met his match. On the occasion in question he entered a blacksmith's shop. To show his suit how strong he was, picking up several horseshoes. he broke one after the other, asking the blacksmith whether he had no better. When it came to paying the bill, the Elector Augustus threw a six dollar piece on the anvil. It was a very thick coin. The blacksmith took it up. broke it in half, saying. "Pardon me. but I have given you a good horseshoe, and I expect a good coin in return." Another six dollar piece was given him, but he broke that and five or six others, when the humiliated -elector put an end to the performance by handing the blacksmith a louisd'or, pacifying him by saying, "The dollars were prob- ably made of bad metal, but this gold - piece, I hope, is good."

That sough words and a kind heart may go together was never better prov- ed than by an incident on e. Madison avenue car the other day. The con- ductor was speaking to an old woman, who walked with a crutch and was ev- idently, to judge from her clothes, very poor. "This car doesn't go to Astor place, I tell you," he said harshly. "You'll have to get off at Eighth street." She complained pitifully at having to walk the extra distance, and again he spoke roughly. The car stopped. "Here's your place," he said. "Get off." She was so decrepit that he had to help her rise from her seat. Stumbling, she reached' the rear platform, the con- ductor following. The other passen- gers looked at him as though they thought him a heartless wretch. On the platform he took her arm to help her down to the street. As he did so the passengers next to the door saw him slip a coin that seemed to be a five cent piece into her hand. Then he helped her to alight gently, saying as she filially reached the pavement: "Step lively!" With a scowl, as though angry, he came back into the car. It was clear that he wanted the passengers to think him a most ferocious man. The old woman stood resting on the corner and fingered her coin as the car sped down town.—New York Times. How Restaurants Came. The restaurant of the present time had its origin in the first French revo- lution, toward the close of the eight- eenth century. And the reputation of the French for good cookery and the delicacy of taste in eating as well as in producing teothsome dishes and mor- sels dates practically from the same time. That revolution meant ruin to many noble families, and their downfall meant ruin also for their chefs; so some of the latter hit upon the idea of open- ing houses where dainties, prepared by these skilled hands, could be obtained. If the experiment succeeded, the chefs would be as well off as when in serv- ice. The idea was pleasing to the pub- lic, the restaurants did a large busi- ness and the proprietors had no reason to regret the revolution from a mone- tary point of view. Then it occurred to others that the people might appreciate being educated up to this fine cookery, and many books on the culinary art were pub- lished and sold well. One of the most noted of these was "The Gourmau Al- manack," which appeared in 1798. Restaurant really means "restoring" and was applied to these places be- cause you went there to have some- thing to revive or restore your failing strength. Jenny Washington. Philip Vickers Fithian, a tutor at Nomini Hall, Virginia, in 1774, gives this description of Washington's niece, Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently she was a personable young lady. with all the graces of her time: Miss Washington is about seventeen; She has not a handsome Face,- but is neat in her Dress, of an agreeable Size, & well proportioned, and has an easy winning Behaviour; She is not forward to begin a conversation, yet when spo- ken to she is extremely affable, with- out assuming any Girlish affectation or pretending to be overcharg'd with Wit; She plays well on the Harpsi- chord & Spinet; understands the prin- ciples of Musick, & therefore performs her Tunes in perfect time, a Neglect of which always tnakes musick intolera- ble, but it is a fault almost universal among young Ladies in the practice; she sings likewise to her instrument, has a strong full voice and a well - judging Ear; but most of the Virginia Girls think it Labour quite sufficient to thump the Keys of a Harpsichord into the air of a tune mechanically, & think it would be Slavery to submit to the Drudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick. Peat In Holland. Much of the surface of Holland is covered by peat beds, but they are beds of two different kinds of peat. That of the low beds lies saturated with water under a layer of clay. Aft- er being dredged from the water it is spread upon the ground and prepared and cut for market, where it -is known a's hard peat, or, rather, as hard turf. This kind of peat is extensively used In Dutch houses, where there are no open fires, and in winter the rooms are heated by stoves. These stoves are mostly stoked with this bard peat, for which, too, other and more delicate uses are found. For example, every Dutch household possesses a tea stove. In the tea stove, which is a portable metal bucket, often of quaint and pleasant design, a lump of glowing peat is placed and the ket- tle swung over it. The bard. close grained peat burns without a flame and without smoke. and is safe, there- fore, and it gives off a slight and not disagreeable odor. Requested Not to Wear Trani. The authorities asi Ems have issued a notice in regard to the wearing of trains by women, in which the danger is pointed out of causing dust to fly about in a town where there are so many invalids. The printed notice concludes thus: "Ladies will perhaps find comfort in the fact that men are also requested to I refrain from smoking during the hours when the invalids are taking their walks.

"He took to his bed as soon as he beard the bad news. sir." "Bad news! What do you mean?" "That the vessel that held his whole fortune had been lost at sea." The Common Chord. James Buckhani, one of our minor poets, put into beautiful verse an inci- dent which occurred during the civil war. He calls it "The Common Chord." The incident was this: Two great ar- mies, one wearing the blue and one the gray, were drawn up in prepara- tion for battle. As the evening fell the bands began to play. "Dixie" by the southerners was followed by "Yankee Doodle" by the northerners, and "Ma- ryland, My Maryland," drew out "Hail Columbia." "Beautiful Girl of the South" was answered by "Just Before the Battle, Mother." Each side mock- ed and jeered the other's music and cheered their own until the stars came out and silence fell. Then, sweet and low, a band far up . the line began to play "Home, Sweet Home." Another and another joined until all the bands on both sides were playing in unison, and, stronger and more beautiful still, the men on both sides were singing the words. The common chord had been struck, and the thousands of combatants were at one with the sentiment, "There's no place like home." The Example of Paganini. A story is told of bow Paganini orice came into the concert room, took the violin and touched the strings. First one string broke, and a smile went round the room; then another string broke, and there was more audible ex- pression of mockery. When a third string broke, many people laughed out- right at his discomfiture. But Page - Dint stood forth with his violin as though nothing bad happened and played on the one string, and the peo- ple ceased to smile, but listened spell- bound. Some of those who had derid- ed him began to weep, and some even prayed. Many a man had fallen helpless by the wayside when some great catas- trophe turned the current of his life aside. The brave man pushes forward with one remaining talent and plucks victory from defeat. A Desperate Chance. A Russian exile relates bow he once saved himself by a desperate artifice. A police official searched his house for compromising papers. There was in his possession a document the discov- ery of which meant serious danger to himself and his friends. Wherever he might hide it, it seemed certain that It would be found. He coolly handed the document to the official, who scarcely glanced at it and handed it back. After the most careful search the of- ficial, his nose blackened with soot and his hair decorated with feathers, for he had even examined the stovepipes and the bedding, departed empty hand- ed, 1 How the Sections Say It.

The high schools and the common schools of Minnesota have been placed in the high position they maintain to -day through the aid of the normal schools of the state, which have helped to tit scores of teachers who have gone out to do good work. And because of this wise position the state of Minnesota has more to show for its money spent upon its public schools than would otherwise be the case. -Mankato Free Press.

The large frame building south of the Baptist Church has been taken down by R. G. Henion, who will use the lumber in a house, barn, and sheep sheds on his farm in Nininger. It had been a landmark in Dakota County since 1857, being known as the Hand side House in the palmy days of the city of Nininger, and was removed to Hastings in 1866 for a female seminary, with the Rev. C. S. LeDuc as principal. The institution preyed a financial failure, the building being sold by Stephen Gardner to the sisters of St. Joseph for a school, afterwards being rented for a board- ing house, and then as a tenement. It had long since seen its beat days. It is a little confusing to read one Ilay that N. P. Clarke, of St. Cloud, has filed a petition in bankruptcy with liabilities of $687,000 and assets at $150, and the next day to observe that N. P. Clarke has sold a bull at the Chicago stock show for $2,000, the highest price ever paid for a Gal- loway in America. Who owns all that fine stock, horses, and cattle, with which Mr. Clarke has been tak- ing premiums at world's fairs, state fairs, and stock shows for all these years? If they don't belong to Mr. Clarke, we should think the real own- er would want the credit for breeding all those splendid animals.- Winona Republican and Herald.

Le Due, former United States commissioner of agriculture, yesterday presented the historical so- ciety with three volumes of Minne- sota documents, which will be inval- uable to the future historian of the state.

Then up went his eyebrows, a second indication of surprise. Then he laid the note on the table, and, standing over it with his hands on his hips 1n a commanding fashion, he rend it again to make quite sure of its contents: Dear Jack—Can't possibly get back for half an hour. Be my good angel, there's a good chap. Madeline and 1 have had a tiff; nothing really serious, only she is so impetuous. She promised to call today, and we were to thrash the whole thing out over a luncheon of the daintiest con- ceiving, and here I am simply booked for an hour or more with my only moneyed relation. My dear old Jack, you see my dilemma and your duty! 1f Madeline goes to Half Moon street and finds me not there, that beautiful halt hoop, with the pearls, etc. (which, by the bye, is still un- paid for), will return into my possession (or the jeweler's), and Madeline— Oh, Jack, my dear old chop. you must explain how unhappy I was hav- ing to go out! if I stayed, 1 could make it up with Madeline, and As• should be married, but I should offend my dis`ustingly rich uncle and lose my income. On the other hand, I am now in pleasant proximity to the income, while the wife—precious, impetuous Madeline -is in danger of being lost forever. So you must pacify her until I come. And I say, old boy, do just slip in a few incidental touches as to my—ahem!—manly qualities. Paint my virtues in all the iridescent hues of an abnormally healthy imagination. But- ter me up for all you are worth. Bring us to- gether like the good fairy in the story book, and I shall ever more remain your grateful Kit. P. S.—Say I'm a real good chap and all that sort of thing. Here war a strange situation. Jack reviewed it critically, marking off the main points on his finger ends. Kit, the hest chap in the world, though a little impetuous, vexes Madeline, also impet- uous. Madeline consents to a general amnesty to discuss term of peace. Kit appoints — here .lack consulted his watch—a quarter to 12. Madeline agrees. Kit is ambushed by a hopeless-- - ly wealthy uncle, and MaJeline Is on the point of coming to the agreed spot to find herself, in plain Euglish, spoof- ed! Item: One intermediary—viz and to wit, Jack Cardrew — who hereby swears and undertakes to pacify, molli- fy, soothe, soften and otherwise stroke down Madeline. After which mental declaration Jack fell into an armchair and tried to pic- ture Miss Madeline Nelthorpe, laugh- ing at the odd chance that was to give him his first introduction to Kit's sweetheart. She was late. It was five minutes to 12. Jack strode the room with all the seriousness of a professional expert in smoothing over the waters of true love. To complete the picture be thrust his right hand with an air of careless med- itation into his double breasted jacket and hooked his forefinger into his watch pocket. It came in contact with a hard, smooth substance. A bright light Illumined Jack's face as he very carefully and tenderly withdrew a "ams, dance programme. It would inspire him in Kit's cause. He knew what it was to love. He had a very deep and sincere attachment for—he looked at the programme against -the eighth dance—"pink with blue dots." So brief. so unintelligible. yet how sweet a morsel of womanhood was contained in those magic if slightly unromantic words, "pink with blue dots!" And to think that was all he knew of her! Her - name. her chaperon. alike unknown to him! The music of her voice, the de- lightful roguish laugh, the deep. un. - a athomable blue dots—eyes, I mean— lingered in his memory like some pleas- ant dream. Yes, he could plead to Miss Nelthorpe on` Kit's behalf with a lover's enthusi- asm. He could speak from experience, for Cupid had taken him by the band and shown him a wonderful new world, a realm hitherto undreamed of, a beautiful pink paradise with—well, blue dots. Twelve o'clock.. She was late. Just then the door opened, and Miss Nelthorpe was announced. Jack came forward to meet ber, then stopped dead. Could It bel Kit's sweet. heart this? "Mr. Cardrew," exclaimed the be - s: witching visitor in a tone of genuine amazement, "what a surpris l" "Pink with blue dots," cried Jack, with a look of chagrin. • "Then you haven't forgotten me?" "Forgotten you? No; I wish 1 had. 1 mean 1 wish—oh, to think what I have promised!" And be let slip the little suede fingers of his lost angel and met- aphorically turned his back on para - (Use. • "The eighth dance," said Miss Nel- thorpe, with a sigh and a half laugh. "The seventh heaven," groaned ,Jack, "Miss Nelthorpe, let me tell you every- thing," continued the unhappy Car - drew, taking a low seat by the girl's side and assuming a martyr at the stake expression. "When I saw you melt into a crowd hovering and press- ing about the refreshment buffet at the dance the other night, i felt almost inclined to run after you and beg you not to leave me. The thought that we might never meet again chilled and sickened me. For the truth is I was hopelessly, desperately, madly, blindly and all the rest of it, in love with you." "T "Mr, Cardrew," ejaculated she, rising must with a pretty glow in_r cheeks. Jac "Sit down," said J quietly and up w with a tnatter of fact air, "For three —of whole days I have felt the ebb and "Oh flow of a strong tide of passion.,1 turne have suffered apprehension lest' I "An should never see you, lest you should began forget me, lest my violent attachment profu should work Itself out like a cold in ...hi AND Jack's boisterous interruption.

"But I want to tell you"— said Nelthorpe, with a roguish laugh. "No, no. I won't listen," said resolutely, "You're going to slan You're going to blame him, scold Now you must forgive him. He's a splendid chap, and—and it was made him go out." "I'm glad," said she and laughs "Glad? Then you didn't wa meet him and make it up?" "No. It's not exactly that." "After all it was only a lover's rel, a slight brush, and all about a a paltry toque. You see, Kit has me everything. Now you're sorry, ly sorry, Kit Is out, aren't you?" "No," began she In a petulant to "Now," said Jack in cheery tone see you relenting. The hard little 1 is melting." She laughed outright. "Very then." she admitted, her face wrea in smiles, "I ani sorry." "Capital," said Jack. "He's sue awfully decent chap—Kit.

"Why," she said, "that's the gramme of"— "Yes," interrupted Jack hastily. "Fancy your keeping it." "The pencil, you know," replied "such a jolly handy tiling to have."

And he ad- vanced with the energy and swiftness of passion. The girl gave a little start and assumed an expression and car- riage of dignity greatly offended. "Mr. Cardrew," she said, her bands clasped together in her muff, her head flung in the air, "you forget"— "1'm sorry," said Jack, abashed, "but you know how—how I love you"— "It Is wasted, believe me." "Wasted!" echoed ,Jack in great de- jection. "Why, what can you mean?" "Think, Mr. Cardrew, think what it would mean?" "I know I'm not half worthy of you— not good eno"— "Far from handsome," said she, "loose jointed, never civil before 12 o'clock." "I would really try to make you hap- ' py," pleaded Cardrew. "As happy as a silent, unsociable, dull husband could, I suppose." "Perhaps, after all, I'm not as bad as that." "Even if you :were not," said she, with imperturbable gravity, "a man with two livers—it would be like mar- rying a chronic bilious attack." Jack was fairly caught. "At any rate," lie ventured, "you will let me have my programme back, since you are not going to marry Kit." Miss Nelthorpe demurred, "You have stolen my heart," said Jack in aggrieved tones. "You have stolen my programme"— "I should like to keep one," said the girl prettily, "in remembrance of 'the second happiest quarter of an hour"— "The pencil has no point," said Jack. "It wouldn't be of the least use." "Very well, then," said she. "I will return it," and held it out to Jack. He took the hand that proffered it and held it fast. "Won't you overlook my two livers?" he pleaded. "It's so unusual," she said. "But you have two hearts," said Jack. Miss Nelthorpe laughed gayly. "What a poor card player you would !rake.

Mit- kiewicz, a professional "promoter," spent some of the best years of his life in an unsuccessful attempt to en- gineer the establishment of a great Chino -American bank. Millions were involved, and it was necessary to se- cure the favor of Earl LI. Mitkiewicz obtained an interview with him and explained his scheme. The Chinaman listened gravely. "It is a philanthropic plan, is it not?" he said at length. "You desire by means of this bank to bring about moral and social reforms in my coun- try, I suppose. You wish to civilize us, to save our souls." "We wish to do nothing of the kind," answered the adventurer. "This is simply and solely a commercial enter- prise. We dou't care a rap for your morals, and I may say for myself per- sonally that it is a matter of supreme indifference to me whether any of your souls are saved or not." Li's almond eyes twinkled. "Ah," he said, "you are not like oth- er Europeans who f o ae to China. They are all interested in our moral well being. You say you want merely to make money. It Is strangb. I have heard of such men before, but till now I have never met a European who had not the' spiritual good of China at heart." Some Odd Comparisons. A railway train at a continuous speed of forty miles an hour would pass from the earth to the moon in a little more than eight months, to the planet Venus in seventy-one and a half years and would reach the sun in two hundred and sixty odd years. A ray of light will pass from the moon to the earth in a trifle over a single second, from Venus to the earth 111 a little more than two minutes and from the sun to this little sphere of ours in about eight minutes. If this same com- parison were applied to the fixed stars, it would be still more startling. Too Much For the Flies. A young man in Philadelphia, who has plenty of time to devote to scien- tific questions, has discovered that music has great terrors for flies. He learned the fact from observing at a park concert that while the audience was greatly annoyed by the insects the musicians in the shell were free: from i inconvenience, 11is conclusion is that the second waves from the shell kept back the files and that although hundreds of them struggled to reach the shell they might as well have attempted to fly in the face of a tornado, and thus, he de- clares, "inclosed by a magic curtain made of their own music the musicians played Wagner unannoyed bythesticky and pestering flies." Imperial Wagner, dead and turned to clay, Composed a tune to keep the flies away. The pain produced by a hornet', sting is caused by a poison injected in- to the wound, and so instantaneous is Its effect as to cause the attack of this insect to resemble a violent blow in the Lace.

A Chicago Maya Collects a Bill at an OlUce Where They Had System. ' Stories of the red tape in the gove went departments at Washington common, but they are not the o places where delays In the transact rn- are nly ion of business are found. There are c cerns in every large city so hemm in by red tape that it may take a we or so to untangle it, and a Chica man ran into one of them not long a The concern owed him a little m ey, and after waiting. awhile for check he went to collect it. He did go far, however, for he was stopp by a boy at the outer door of the fi of the many offices. "What do you want?" asked the bo "Money," said the man. "What for?" demanded the boy. The man explained, and thereupo the boy told him that all such accoun were paid Saturdays at the cashie office. So the man came back Satur- day. , "Don't know anything about it," said the cashier. "You'll have to get an or- der from some one." Then the man started out after the order and promptly ran up against the boy again. "Write out your name and the na- ture of your business," said the boy, "anu I'll take it in to Mr.. smith." The man did as he was told, and word came back that Mr. Smith didn't know anything at all about it. • "If I can see Mr. Smith•half a min- ute," suggested the man, "I think can straighten the matter out."

A certain member of parliament has expressed a pronounced disbelief in most of the wonderful tales told of the precocity of children. He contends that the stories are usually manufac- tured by older persons, with the sole object of making amusing reading. Once in awhile, however, his theory re- ceives a setback by something in his own experiences, and he confesses that he has come across some genuine hu- mor and some unconscious witticisms. One such was brought to his notice very recently. A Sunday school examination was in progress, and the examining' visitor put this question: "What did Moses do for a living while he was with Jethro?" Following a long silence a little voice piped up from the back of the room: "Please, sir, be married one of Jeth- ro's daughters." Confederate Bonds. The treasury department at Wash- ington recently received a letter from Great Grimsby, England. It contain- ed a fifty dollar Confederate note and In rather pompous language demanded that its equivalent in gold be for*ard- ed at once to the address given. Treas- ury officials say that the incident was not an uncommon one. Although the civil war closed In 1865, Confederate notes and bonds are still regularly received. Nearly all of them come from England, where the bonds were sold. Some of the Eng- lishmen who bare been notified that the bonds and notes are worthless have grown indignant and replied to the de- partment that they proposed to take action looking to the creation of an in- ternational incident unless the paper is redeemed.

Hank went Into Daly's place, in New York city, one day and sat in a game, winning $25,000 with very little trouble. Then he rose to go, thinking it was time to stop. Daly shook hands with him and asked him what was his hurry. Hank said he would have to go to a Dutch restau- rant he knew where they always cook- ed liver in a way that he particularly liked. "Oh, if that's all." said Daly, "just stay here. We can serve the liver just that way, and you can go right on playing." Dutch Hank had left some friends outside waiting, but he said he would stay and eat the liver. He sat down and ate and played. His 525,000 soon went back to Daly in a turn of luck. Hank went out without a cent. "What kept you so long?" his friends demanded. "Well, you don't suppose a man can eat $23.000 worth of liver in a minute, do you?" was the retort of Hank. The Tempter Won. When the late Baron Nordenskjold was at Ceylon on the way home from his journey along the northern coast of Siberia, he received a telegram from the Russian government asking hits whether he would accept from the czar a certain decoration as an appreciation of his services to Russia. For many days the famous explorer wavered, as he was a medrber of Bjorsterne Bjorn - son's Antidecoration club, whose mem- bers were solemnly pledged never to accept any decoration from anybody. Nordenskjold, however. could not re- sist the temptation, so he replied to the telegram In the affirmative. It is not hard to imagine his disap- pointment when, upon reaching home, a friend of his, a high official, told him the following: "The Russian govern- ment was well aware of your antago- nistic views in regard to decorations and had, therefore, placed in readiness 300,000 rubles to be paid you in the event of your refusing to accept the insignia, but before paying that sum they wanted to try your firmness. Rus- sia is certainly grateful to you for your failure to live up to yourpledge." The Lamps of the Sea. Many kinds of jellyfish are phos- phorescent at night and present a won- derfully beautiful appearance when slowly moving through the water, and It is this phosphorescence which has given them the poetic title of "the lamps of the sea," They are not less beautiful in the daytime. for most of the species are striped or tinted. some being melon shaped, with rows of fringes dividing the sections.

The earl of Northum- berland who lived in the latter part o the fourteenth century boasted no few- er than sixty suits of cloth of gold alone, and the bishop of Ely of that ime had a change of raiment for ev- ery day of the year. Much later, in Queen Mary's ti he wardrobe of a bishop might h een the envy of Solomon for the iety and costliness of its contents, ven a simple village priest, accord o Fuller, wore "a vestipent of crimson satin, a vestment of crimson velvet, a ole and fanon set with pearl, gowns aced with taffetas, etc." In the days of Chaucer fashionable en wore clothes as many colored as oseph's coat, so that "while one leg ould be a blaze of crimson the other ould be tricked out in green or blue or yellow, without any regard to bar- ony or contrast." Even as late as the middle of the eighteenth century a dandy would deck himself in "a vivid green coat, a waist- coat of scarlet, yellow breeches and ue stockiees," and the gentleman (4 few years later wore, among simi- sartorial vagaries, "a coat of light green, with sleeves too small for the s and buttons too big for the eves; a pair of Manchester fine stuff eeches, without money in their pock- ; clouded silk stockings, a club of it behind larger than the head that ries it, a hat of the size of a sta- nce on a block not worth a far - that, com- e cen- , his fid in- ictur- WINE AND WATER. b e st f J w w V a lar arm ale br ets ha car Pe thing." At one fashionable epoch our ances- tors, to quote the words of a quaint chronicler, "would weare clothes so tighte to ye skin that it might well be conceiNked they wore no clothes at all, and at another they would wear them "so voluminous that a single suite might well have afforded rayment for a whole familie, and so stuffed out with feathers that, of a verity, their wearers resembled nothing so much as walking sackes." At another period it was the gro- tesque fashion to combine on one per -p son the dress of all the countries of Europe --the hat would be Spanish, the coat French, the trousers Turkish, and so on—so that the wearer was a "walk- ing epitome of the dress of a conti- nent." At one time shoes would be worn with square toes of such width that a royal proclamation was issued limiting the width to six inches, and these shoes were succeeded by others which came to the finest of points at the toes. In Henry 11.'s time shoes with points two feet long were worn by the fash- lonables, and in the reign of Henry IV. these points had grown to such an inordinate length that in order to be able to walk at all it was necessary to attach the tips to the knees by chains, which were of gold or silver, while the tops of the shoes were carved with• all kinds of fantastic designs. In the early part of the eighteenth century it was a common thing for a man of fashion to spend several hours a day with his valet, among the many quaint operations being "the starching of the beard and the proper perfuming of garments, the painting of the face and anointing with oils, tinctures, quin- tessences and pomatums." It is even said that some of the dandles of the time bathed In wine and milk "for the preservation of their complexions and the rejuvenation of their energies."— London Tit -Bits. me, ave va- and ing �•J Italian Brigandage In 1545.

CURE FOR CATARRH. A Remedy Which an Old Virginian Says Is Infallible. An old Virginia horse breeder who is visiting in New York claims to have an infallible cure for catarrh. "It seems to me," he said "that 00 per cent of the people of New York city suffer more or less from catarrh. If they will do as I suggest, they can cure themselves in short order. "A friend of mine who used to live in Yonkers had such a severe case of catarrh that he was compelled to gm, up his business and go to Colorado. The doctors told him that the high alti- tude of that state would benefit him. He remained in Colorado nearly a year and then found himself as badly off as when he left Yonkers. After he had made up his mind that nothing could cure him and that he might as well die at home as among strangers he met an old tinker, who gave him the reme- dy, which cured him in three months. "Dissolve a little powdered alum in a pint of cider vinegar. Use the solution as a gargle three or four times a day. It won't do any harm if you swallow some of it. Two or three times a day, but particularly just before going to bed, dip a chicken feather in vaseline and stick the feather up the nostrils. I suppose any contrivance bought at a drug store for the purpose will do just s well as a chicken feather, but the old tinker insisted that there was some medicinal virtue in the feather. "The gargle clears the throat and the lower portions of the air passages from the nostrils. The vaseline heals the dis- eased condition of the affected parts. In a week the sufferer will feel better, and if he will keep up the treatment he can be assured that he will be cured." —New York Mail and Express. Sixkiller's Arm a Deadly Weapon. "Another man has been killed by a blow of the fist, which suggests the thought that at times the naked fist of a man, given proper impetus by a well developed biceps, is an exceedingly dangerous and destructive instrument," said a man who for many years lived at Vinita, in the Cherokee Nation. "It recalls a bit of history local to the Indian Territory," he continued. "Not far from the Arkansas line there lived a half breed who went by the name of John Sixkiller. He was a bad man, but not bad in the ordinary southwest- ern way—that is to say, he was not a 'gun fighter,' although he enjoyed a general mixup immensely, and until the Cherokee council intervened he in- dulged 1n many such affrays. "After three men whom he had 'laid out' had died of their injuries the coun- cil (tribal legislature) met and passed an act declaring that `John Sixkiller's right arm is a deadly weapon' and that 'he is forbidden to use it against an ad- versary except to protect himself from death or great bodily injury.'

It makes the present generation smile to read the accounts which have come down to us concerning the prejudices which were formerly entertained against certain articles which are of everyday consumption. For instance, it is said that when coal was first used in England the prejudice against it was so strong that the house of commons petitioned the king to pro- hibit the use of the "noxious" fuel. A royal proclamation having failed to abate the nuisance, a commission was issued to ascertain who burned coal Within the city of London and its neigh- borhood, to punish them by force for the first offense and by the demolition of their furnaces if they persisted in transgressing. A law was finally pass- ed making it a capital offense to burn coal in the city and only permitting it to be used by forges In the vicinity. It is stated that among the records in the Tower of London a document was found according to which a man was hanged in the time of Edward I. for no other crime than having been caught burning coal. It took three centuries to entirely efface the prejudice. Antiquity of Playing Cards. The game of cards was first played i in the east and seems to have had a military origin. Cards were introduced from Asia into Europe at the time of the crusades and were first used by necromancers to foretell fortunes. They soon became a popular amusement in the south of' Europe, where the Sara- cens and Moors taught the people bow to use them, and card playing spread to all parts of the continent. The state records of Germany mention the fact that Rudolph I., in 1275, was fond of the game and played with his court- iers. After the invention of paper the man- ufacture of cards became extensive, but declined somewhat when card play- ing was forbidden by several of the German states and by the English gov- ernment on account of the supposed immoral tendency. Before the era of paper cards in the orient were made of ivory, papyrus and canvas, less fre- quently of the precious metals and quite commonly of wood. For a Very Good Reason. "I told him I would make him eat his words," declared Mr. Beechwood hotly, speaking of a quarrel he had had with Mr. Brushton. "He has been telling things about me that are rank un- truths." "How foolishly men talk to one an- other!" commented Mrs. Beechwood placidly. "What do you mean?" demanded her husband. "Do you intend to insinuate that men talk to each other more fool- ishly than women chatter?" "Of course I do," the lady went on imperturbably. "Now, women never try to make each other eat their words, no matter bow angry they may be." "Certainly not," retorted Mr. Beech- wood, "and for a very good reason too." "What reason?" she demanded. "Because their digestive apparatus is inferior to their vocabulary." — PItts- burg Chronicle -Telegraph. Why Water Won't Fry, Why cannot we fry in water? Be- cause water can only be heated to the boiling point,212 degrees, egress, and any ad- ditional beat does not increase its tem- perature. Two hundred and twelve de- grees of beat will not brown the sur- face of anything. Fat, on the contrary, can be made much hotter, the tempera- ture depending on the kind. There is a lesson here for the economical house- wife. Don't stuff the stove with fuel when the vegetables, meat, etc., are already boiling. They cook no faster because of the increase of heat. Living Like a Savage. Civilized people will be shocked at the advice of an English physician to a wealthy patient to live like a savage to be cured.

About Qaone, Many people talk about ozone with- out so much as knowing what ozone is. There is a prevalent idea that it is something you get at the sear :d that it is good for the lungs. What that something is, however, few people have sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is what chemists call an allotropic form of oxygen --that is to Fay, it is oxygen n a highly active and co. eentr•ated con- dition. In ordinary pure air ozone ex- ists; but only in what chemists call "traces." Larger amounts are found in ocean and mountain air. It instal: ly disappears when brought in contact with decaying matter, dissipating it- self, as it were, in the act of oxidizing that matter. Ozone is known to occur more plenti- fully during thunderstorms, and we have, of course, the analogy of its be- ing artificially produced from oxygen by electrical discharges in the labora- tory. On the body ozone Is believed to act as a stimulant; hence the pooclar notion of its beneficial effects as expe- rienced by the sea, but in any greater amount than mere traces It is a violent irritant. One authority goes the length of asserting that it Is doubtful whether it is beneficial to animal life at all. Colored Swedes. A little Swedish monthly magazine published in New York city requested Its readers a short time ago to send in accounts of the experle:tees they bad when they first arrived In this country. Here is the prize specimen: -In my en - sophisticated days I once started out to call upon a girl 1 had known in the old country. I was told that she lived at Madison avenue and — street. When I reached that corner, 1 was in doubt which house to try, but I finally went up the steps of one that faced on the avenue and rang the bell. A girl came to the door. 'Does Miss Nelson live here?' I asked as politely as I could. "'I don't know any such person,' she answered, and I was turnip;; away when she called after me, 'Is she white?' "That irritated me. 'Did yon ever know any Swedes who were colored?' I asked. "'Well, '1 have seen some green Swedes,' was her retort, and I did nut continue the conversation • Trials of a Lecturer. A well known English woman lee- turer tells these stories at her own ex- pense: "I was," she says, "on a -tour through the provinces, and one night as 1 ap- peared on the platform n a small town the chairman introduced me to my au- dience in the following way: 'You have heard of Mr. Gladstone, the Grand Old Man. Let me now introduce to you the grand old woman.' This was in- tended as a sincere compliment. "On another occasion a bluff old farm- er, who boasted of his ability to look on all sides of a question, announced me as follows: 'This lady's come here to talk about her rights,' be said. 'She's hired the hall, and so she's got a right to be here, and if any of you don't like what she's got to say you've got an equal right to walk out in the middle on't.' " Away From Home. It 18 becoming the fashion for or a wo- man to seek a maternity hospital that her children may be born amid conven- iences lacking at home. The children are sent away from home to school. They are married away from home, and members of the family are taken to hospitals for their final illness and bur- ied from an undertaker's parlor. It is becoming a fashion to take everything from home except the family rows. They are still sacred to the family hearth.—Atchison Globe. Gold.

The little fun of an Episcopal clergy- man of Los Angeles was visiting with his mother a Canadian city, where the two attended services at a certain church. It is the custom in that church for the clergyman and congregation to bow in silent prayer for a minute or two just before the sermon begins. It was a new proceeding to the child, for he was not accustomed to seeing this done in his father's church, but the little chap bravely and reverently did his part. After the service was over the clergy - wan, one of the old evangelical school, who had noticed the reverence and ap- parent devotion of the child, spoke to him and commended his reverence with an affectionate pat on the head. "It was very pleasing," he remarked to a group of bystanders, "to see this little fellow so deeply engaged in earnest prayer just before I began my sermon. What prayer did you offer to the throne of grace, my little boy?" All unconscious of the effect it pro- duced, the little fellow candidly and instantly replied: "I said: 'Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.' "—San Francisco Argo- naut. Bird.' Eggs Superstition., The old, wrinkled, dusky aunties of the south tell children: "Do not eat the bluebirds' eggs. They make you love to wander." They believe that the pale blue eggs of that beautiful creature, "that violet of the air," that bird with "sky tinge on his back, earth tinge on his breast," will make the greedy nest robber restless as long as he lives. No place, however enticing, can hold the being who has once tasted a bluebird's egg. He who eats a mocking bird's egg will be compelled to "tell all he knows." The one who robs a killdee's nest and eats its eggs will surely break an arm. He who eats a dove's egg will be fol- lowed by bad luck, while the egg of any bird of yellow plumage will be sure to cause a fever, and he who eats an owl's egg will be always shrieking. The eat- er of a crow's egg will always, as old aunties say, "be gwine on foolish like a crow does go on, 'Ha, ha, ha!' But a partridge's egg," they declare, "du des make you thrive an' grow fas'. Dey is de onlies' sort er birds' eggs dat you kin eat widout findin' 'em danger - some." A Cockney. Bullokar, the lexicographer who gave the famous definition for "crocodile tears," was outdone by Minshen, an- other dictionary maker of London, who in 1617 issued the work which gave the following amusing account of the or- igin of the word "cockney:" "A cock- ney, or cockny, applied only to one born within the sound of the Bow bells— that is, within the city of London— whiche terme came first out of the fol- lowing tale: "A citizen's sonne, riding with his fa- ther out of London into the country, and being a novice and merely ignorant of how corne and catel do increase, asked when be heard a horse neigh what the horse dide. His father an- swered, 'The horse dothe neigh.' Rid- ing further, be heard a cock crow and said, `Dothe the cock neigh too?' And therefore cockney, or cockneigh, by in- version thus: Incoctus,—i. e., raw or unripe in countrey-mens affaires." When the Crowd Gathered.

Among some intensely amusing col- lege scrapes told by "A Graduate" in The Ladies' Home Journal is the story of a certain professor not much liked by his pupils who was to be married. The lady lived In Cleveland. And the students that loved (?) him were not of course invited. But they determin- ed that in some way he should hear from them. And he did. On the day appointed the professor took the train at 10 a. m., due to arrive at Cleveland at 12:30 p. m. About 11 o'clock Jim Townsend rushed to the telegraph of- fice and sent off this dispatch: "Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man coming on train No. 6, tall, well dress- ed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers. Escaped lunatic. Hold. Shrewd, there- fore beware. Strange case. Will say name Finalli. Mistake. Thinks he is professor in a college. Delusion. Es- cort to home of friends at No. — Euc- lid avenue." This message reached its destination long before train No. 6 reached Cleve- land, so that when Professor Finalli alighted it was to walk straight into the custody of three detectives. They would listen to no words of reason, but escorted him out to the house on Euclid avenue, the home of bis intended bride. The Earth's Bending., Little bendinge are in progress all the time the world over. The "immovable" hills are bowing and scraping to each other constantly. Every evening, as the dew settles In the valleys between them, they nod to one another. So like- wise do the.mountains, even to a great- er extent. G� avity Is tugging all the time. `• And in London, too, where earth- quake sensations are practically un- known, the earth bends daily, and the buildings, like the hills and the moun- tains, nod to their friends opposite when the morning traffic begins. On Sunday usually their manners take a rest excepting in such places as Petti- coat lane, where business flourishes in as lively a fashion as in Paris.

The following suggestions, if you please, are not from an artist nor even from a connoisseur, the writer being nothing more than an ordinary picture lover. In general the principle to be followed is to get as much in an atmos- phere of pictures as possible. Always go to the museums when you are trav- eling, and if you live near enough make occasional picture visits to Bos- ton, Chicago or New York. Do not make the mistake of staying too long in a gallery. You only tire yourself. Half an hour is quite long enough. But do not endeavor to look at every pic- ture in the gallery in that time. Look long at a few good ones and let those you look at be those you like or at least those which you prefer above the oth- ers. Also ask yourself why you prefer them. Always get a catalogue. Some- times the pictures are not marked, and you as a student wan* always to know the painter of your picture.—Frederic M. Smith in Woman's Home Compan- ion. Whale Houses. At one time not very long ago there was on the Lancashire coast, near Lythan. England, a cottage and boat- house that were made almost entirely from the remains of a score or so of whales that bad been driven ashore some years before. The framework of the edifice consisted wholly of. whale- bone, and the dried skins of the huge creatures were neatly and strongly fas- tened as a ,:overing for walls and roof. There is another building of exactly the same kind at Peterhead, in Scot- land, and in this case the skulls of the whales and some of the heavier bones are used with great effect as outside ornaments. - Loom , tike Economy.

The Driver's Point of View. The hotel coach was filled with a crowd of happy, jubilant visitors, and the horses toiled splendidly up the hills. As each eminence was reached and at every turn in the road the crowd would burst forth into cries of wonder and dight at the magnificent scenes which burst upon their view. The' mountain jehu atone preserved a dig- nity and silence which rather awed the others. At length, after a particularly lovely view had been passed, one of the guests at the driver's left band re- marked: "You don't seem to take much inter- est in the scenery. No doubt it's an ofd story to you." The driver shook his head. "No, that's not it," he answered. "I jest don't care."

When Dont Pedro, then emperor of Brazil, was entertained at' the White House, he bad been told by a confused senator that it would be expected that he, the emperor, should be the last of the guests to depart. The president's wife, however, inform- ed her other guests that they would be expected to follow, not precede, the royal party in leaving the house. The result was that no one dared to go for fear of a breach of etiquette. But at 3 o'clock in the morning a tired woman pretended illness, and the dead- lock was broken.

The first primary election under the new law was held at Duluth on Tues- day. It appears to have been a success, although several modifica- tions are suggested. A St. Paul juryman found his pay garnisheed at the clerk's office last week under the new law, and had to settle the account before he could draw his certificate. . ,,.The Burlington & Northern Road is not likely to have trains running into St. Paul hefore May or June, owing to heavy work in the upper end of this county.

This would .mean that.the lot with the short side'adjarent to the street would be payring through the city treasury a shale proportionate to its benefits. It may be argued that this would be unfair to those who have paid the larger assessments. So it would, but because we have been wrong is no reason why we should continue to he so. I hope every one who has an opin ion will express it before the com- mission has concluded its work, instead of waiting until they are done, and then harshly criticise the members for not adopting opinions that were never expressed. This work is not easy nor well paid, and we should all lend a hand, or rather a head, and offer any suggestion that we think material.

Peter Klotz bas been on the sick list the past week. Mr. and Mrs. N. N. Larson were in Hastings on Thursday. The creamery paid twenty-three cents per pound for November butter fat. Preparations for the New Year's dance on the 30th inst. are being made. N. N. Larson has been re-engaged as butter maker at the creamery .for the corning year. Miss Julia Koenig has opened her dreesmaking parlor at N. N. /arson's residence, up stairs. The creamery will run during the holiday weeks of Christmas and New Years on Monday, Tuesday, Thurs- day, and Saturday. Work on the steam shovel and fill was discontinued yesterday, and most of the men working on the grade left for their homes. The surveyors will stay for a week or so yet. Work on the depot is progressing finely, the plastering being done and the finishing well under way. Passenger service to Faribault will be begun on Monday, when two trains each way will be run. There are still two miles of steel to lay on the Rosemount - Inver Grove extension,which will prob- ably be completed before NewYear's. Owing to the unsettled condition of the track heavy passenger traffic will probably not be instituted until spring, when the ground shall have had time to settle.—Faribault Re- publican, 11th. Patrick Flannery, of Hastings, who was in the wreck on the Wabash Road at Seneca, Mich.. Thanksgiving eve., is temporarilyitesiding in this city for the purpose of taking medical treatment and a course of Turkish baths to remove the effects of his in- juries, and is at the Foley Hotel. Mr. Flannery was at one time a resident of St. Paul, and, although he has made his home in Hastings for many years, he still has a wide circle of acquaint- ances here. Mr. Flannery feels that, although he was so severely bruised and wrenched about the body that he still suffers great pain and nearly all of his teeth are knocked out, he was fortunate to pass through the acci- dent without more serious conse- quences.—,St. Paul Globe. Randolph Items. Frank Harkness spent Saturday in Minneapolis. Misses Theda and Ruth Foster spent Saturday Satur fay iu the cities. The Randolph school gave a Christ- mas programme yesterday afternoon On account of bad weather there was not a very good attendance at the M. W. A. ball. The meeting of the Not'tnal Bible Study Class has been discontinued until after the holidays. A number of the young ' people enjoyed a very pleasant evening at C. 'Vittbans' on Wednesday. Miss Minnie Wert has gone . to Granite Falls to spend Christmas with her sister, Mrs. Henry McElrath. The Rev. M. B. Critehett has been the pastor of the Baptist Church in this city for the past four years. He has been conscientious and faith- ful in his work, although not receiv- ing the help of all members of the society, a few of whom have acted very unchristianlike. That the rev- erend and his estimable wife and family may receive better treatment in Hastings is the wish of The Jour- nal and many other friends, who regret their absence.—Faribault Jour- nal. Joseph Zulager, a farmer living near Rice's, in Benton County, froze to death within forty rods of his own home on the night of the 12th inst. He was aged sixty-five years. R. C.

Tawney, of the first district, delivered a speech at the breaking of ground for the St. Louis expo- sition yesterday. The normal school at Duluth will not open until Mar. 1st, but the pay of the president goes merrily on. Red '!Wing is to have a Carnegie library building costing $15,000, upon the usual terms. adjacent property, which is of course Alex. Fiddes bas been appointed benefitted to a greater extent than postmaster at Jackson. other property, but there should be a and, in this connection, I will say all articles proposed 'should be made public at least two weeks before their final adoption by the full cominission.. Among the proposed changes the most important, perhaps, is, first,, ward boundaries, the nutnber of aldermen, and whether the mayor and aldermen should receive salaries. If so, how much? Second, elections, Whether it would be better to have the city election bi-annually, at the same time as the state elections; third, the method of making assess- ments for waffle improvements to the streets, alleys, and public grounds. With regard to the first question I will say nothing. As to the second there is this to be said in favor, it would save expense, otherwise there is nothing gained. On the other hand it would intensify the political aspect and draw party lines more sharply. It would also necessitate the election of aldermen for four years, or run the risk of having a council composed of a set of green men, that would not be able to handle the business as they would if some of the old members were to remain. The third proposition named is by far the hardest to solve in a way that will be fair to all concerned. In the matter of street sprinkling it seems obvious that the cost should be as- sessed to those directly benefitted. that is to the property within the dis- trict sprinkled. Then comes the question, how should the cost be ap- portioned? certainly not per abutting front foot, for, in that case, property fronting on a street not sprinkled, but with the long side of the lot on 'a street that is, would have about six times as much to pay as an ordinary front. Perhaps the fairest way would be to have a commission to assess the benefits, but this is cumbersome and would probably give less satisfaction than the adoption of some inflexible rule, such as a percentage of the as sessed value of the property. This would certainly be the easiest way, and I have no doubt would work out as satisfactorily as any. In fact, any assessment1 should be made with some regard to the value of the property assessed, otherwise it might amount to virtual confiscation, as is the case in some instances in our present method of assessment for building sidewalks. On this subject I will say that in the past year there were at least three instances where the cost of building sidewalks was &most equal to the value of the property adjacent. This condition will obtain more generally iu the future thltu in the past., for the reason that on the streets where sidewalks will hereafter he demanded the property adjacent is generally of lower value than where improvements have already beet? made. There is certainly no better ' reason for assessing the adjacent property for .making a street comfortable for pedestrians than for vehicles. Of course, if the burden were the same on all, there could be no objec- tion, but the walk may run just to a man's house, and he may enjoy all the benefits of it, but so long as it does not lie adjacent to his property he does not have to pay. Then, again, where a walk is built on both the long and short sides of a corner lot, the property is assessed for from one hundred and fifty, to one hundred and sixty-two feet as against twenty-two feet for the adjoining lot- Under the present system the city council could order the street paved as well as the sidewalk laid and the cost assessed to the property. Of course this is not likely to be done, but that is not enough, it should be fixed so it could not be done. The cost of these improve- ments should be assessed to the The District Court.

Bear Story ED MOTT o 8 40•0 •04-0.0•00.0•0•0490,04 If you are ever at this time of year up on the Old Passadanky sit clown at the Bockhorn tavern, select any one of the grizzled woodsmen you will find already sitting there, exchange a dime at not too infrequent intervals for a certain tipple that is popular with the natives and is -called rum and tansy, and refer inqui>ngly to Old Beelzebub, 'he remarkable bear of Spook Run gully and the amazing Christmas pres- ent he made to one Paley Simco. As the story goes, the oldest settle- ment in all that part of the original wildwood was at Passadauky. The deep gully and the creek that roared through it were there when the first settlers came. Neither had any name, and it was not until folks began to see ghosts along the creek and in the gully_ that appropriate nomenclature for them was suggested. Silas Grubb, so HE MADE THE WILD PLUNGE. • bey will tell you, shot a deer one day. It fell, and he stepped up to it to eut Sts throat. As he was standing astride tie deer he supposed was dead it rose luddenly and went bounding down the 'creek. with Silas on its back. clasping Its neck and vociferating loudly that a..elp would be welcome. Job Fenk• kvho was hunting along the creek, saw the deer in its wild flight and emptied he contents of his rifle into it. He trot only killed the deer, but bored Silas Grubb with his rifle ball as well. -.Not long after that a specter deer, b.strode by a specter rider, appeared at intervals in the woods, dashing yildly down the creek until it reached the spot where Fenk's rifle bad done Its fatal work, and there always van - lolled. Then folks took to calling the (l•reek Spook Run and the gully Spook • 'Run gully, and by and by a lumber (company put a big dam across the creek and a log shoot three miles long. through the deep, dark, crooked. ghostly gully. down which the logs were sent from the woods to the mill dam as swift as the wind, and down thisshoot came dashing, astride a log, daredevil Bill. Topson, having drunk more than generously of log driver rum and wagered that be would make the fearful ride: -He made it, lnclud Ing ,the wild plunge from the mouth of the gully to the pond, fifty feet be- low. When he was taken from the pond, after his awful ride and plunge, his hair, which had been black when he started, was as white as snow. "And it'd 'a' been queer if it hadn't' turned white," any of the Passadanky narrators will tell you. "He rid that log them three miles in less than four minutes." But the reason this feat of Bill Top - son's has particular place of honor in the chronicles of Old Passadanky is because it was the culmination of the career of Old Beelzebub as a wonder working bear. When that bear was less than a year old, Jephtha Wlgglns, the pelt gatherer, killed its father and mother and .chased the orphan cub for daygc.witb the hope of adding its pelt to the other two, but failed in his pur pose. After awhile that orphaned -bear returned to the Vicinity of its old home, and, as everybody will tell you up there, it came back with a grudge against Jephtha Wiggins. "That liar came back," they will•say, "and- if he hadn't 'a' come, there'd a been more sheep and pigs along the Old Passadanky than there was for the next three or four years. And he was so overpowerin' full of Satan that folks give him the name of Old Beelze- bub. And Jepthy Wiggins had good reason_ to be sorry he ever pelted that bear's father and mother, for what happened to him when he begun to get the orders for black sheep ,pelts?—or- ' ders that came in thick and fast, al- though nobody never knowed what in the world made seteb a call for black sheep pelts. What ' happened then? Why, black sheep pelts got scarce. 1 ahetld say they did! And what made 'em git scarce? That b'ar with a grunge ag'iu Jepthy Wiggins! That vengeful b'ar jest lugged off all the black sheep there was iu the district. Not a smell of a white sheep did he tetch. "But that makin' of a black sheep- skin famine in the district wasn't a cir- cujnstance to what that schemin' b'ar done in layin' out his plan of vengeance ag'in, although it was included in it. He wouldn't 'a' gone as fur as he did, though, if be hadn't happened to see Bill Topson shoot through Spook Run gully on the log that day. He see Bill shoot the gully and come plungin' out of that hole in the rocks down into the pond, and be didn't fergit it. He re- membered it, and it give him the chance to give Jepthy Wiggins what he thought would be the worst wipe yit." it seems that Jephtha Wiggins was the greatest pelt gatherer in the Old Passadanky country, and he had a daughter named Prudence. Paley Simco, a likely young woodsman, was in love with Prudence, .and the feeling `was reciprocal. "Now." as the Passadanky narrator will tell you, "mebbe you mowt won- der what under the canopy Old Beelze- be. 'Tain't likely that he cared a sna whether Paley Simco loved Prudenc Wiggins. But 'Jepthy Wiggins cared He had other ideas for his daughte and well that aniazin' bear knowed it. Jepthy wanted the Squire Biwbler pos- sessions in his family, and -he could git 'eni. by marryin' Prudence to the squire's son Jorum. Jorum didn' want to git married, and Prudenc didn't want to marry Jorum, but Jo rum and Prudence didn't have an say in it The squire and Jepthy fixe it to suit themselves. The weddin night come, but no Jorum. Along 1 the forenoon of the next day in com Jorum to Wiggins'. "'Old Beelzebub kidnaped me as 1 was on my way over here through the woods yesterday!' said Jorum. 'He rail me straight and fast to Gormley's b'ar pen, way back at the bead of the big swamp, and kep' me there all night.' " Jephtha Wiggins swore that he would hunt down that vengeful and vindic- tive bear and strip off his pelt if it took him alt the rest of his days. "It was gittln' along to'rds Christ- mas tune when Paley plucked up cour- age to ask Jepthy ag'in for Prudence. Jepthy turned on him, grinnin' the ag- gravatinest kind, and blurted out: "'Yes, you kin have her—that is, if you fetch me two black sheepskins for a Christmas present! If you don't, you can't never have her!' "Now, of course, that was just as good as tellin' Paley that there wasn't any use. He never knowed to his dyin' day what it could 'a' been that sent him roamin' and roamin' that day, but he went a-roamin', and the first thing he knowed be found himself on the edge of a scrubby lookin' clearin' In the . Sour Medder district, and he sten a man clubbin' what he s'pose d was a tame b'ar. That riled hien more'n ever, and he shouted to the Ing that the best thing he could do p would be to throw himself into it when e ' he heard a great noise up In the gully. "He looked up," the Passadanky nar- y rator will tell you, "and there he see a sight that made him turn cold. Some - thin' was whizzin' down the log shoot and so fast Paley couldn't make out what it was till it shot from the mouth of the shoot and came climbhi' up the bub had to do with that. nothin', meb_ e bank, right where Paley stood. Then _ the somethln' give itself a shake. Two 3, big, black sheepskins tumbled off of it, d and there was Old Beelzebub, but he was white all over! He jest give one n look at Paley and tore away into the e woods and was never seen no more, As Paley turned to look after him, there he see Bart Sproat standli', and Bart was most as white as the b'ar, for he had seen the hull thing and knowed what it meant! "That ride down the log shoot had scared Old Beelzebub's hair white. What did be do it for, then? So as a white b'ar could carry them sheep pelts to Paley and make him a Christmas present of 'em! By doin' that Old Beel- zebub got even with Bart Cproat, and by Paley Simco havin' the pelts to make Jepthy Wiggins a Christmas present of 'em, and so forcin' Jepthy to give Paley his daughter Prudence, Old Beelzebub shoved bis grudge deep luto Jepthy and he went off a-feelin' good. "Well, all there was to it after that was that Paley got down to Wiggins' Christmas eve and knocked Jepthy speechless by bandin' over the Christ- mas present. And Jepthy had to.hand Prudence over to Paley, and they was married that very next Christmas day. The way it turned out, though, Jepthy was never sorry that Old Beelzebub had brought-thiugs to setch it pass, and if the vengeful b'ar had ever knowed that, it's more than likely that he'd 'a' eorne lArk and tried his plans ag'in Jepthy sdtiie more."—New York Mall :end Express, man: "'What are you poundin' that poor b'ar for?' " 'It's my b'ar,' the man shouted back, 'and if you don't like what I'm doin' come here and I'll pound you awhile and give the b'ar a rest!' "And what did Paley do but go over there,,And I s'pose that when be got through with that citizen of the Sour Medder district the citizen was a leetle the worst whipped man ever seen in them parts. "'There!' said Paley. 'When you run ag'in me, yon haven't got no b'ar to fool with!' "And then Paley see that it was Bart Sproat be had been lickin' and that the b'ar was Old Beelzebub. Paley.hadn't gone more than a hundred yards on his way when, lookin' ever into Bart's field, he see two of the biggest and blackest sheep that ever cropped sor- rel! "'The only two black sheep in the hull blame country!' Paley groaned, 'and here I've gone and 'most hamm.r- ed the life out of the man that owns 'em! Tossed Prudence -away jest to take the part of a rambunctious old sheep stealin' b'ar!' "Paley actually batted himself ag'in his head with his fist and lifted up his voice and wept. After awhile be cooled down a leetle and got an idee. "'I'll go back and apologize to Bart,' said be, 'and offer him twenty dollars for them sheep! That's as much as bis hull clearin' would fetch!' "So Paley went back. The b'ar laid on the ground lickin' himself, and Bart "HERE ILE COMES AO'IN!" was settin' on a rock by the.door. His head was swelled, and one eye was aliet, and his wife was doin' of him up In rags. "'Plzen henbane? he yelled as good as he could. 'Here he comes ag'in! Git the gun. Sairy, and load him full of leadr "'Hold on, Bart!' Paley shouted. 'I've come back to apologize and offer you twenty dollars for them two black sheep,' and Paley was soft enough to tell Bart what he wanted 'em for. "'Say' yelled Bart, 'when you see a white b'ar corrin' to'rds you carryin' them sheep pelts, and it makes you a Christmas present of 'em, you kin have 'em, and not before! I'll take 'em down and sell 'em to Jepthy Wiggins! Sairy, get -the gun!' "Sairy, she started as if she was goin' to git the gun, and Paley didn't wait to argue with Bart any long( He give one awful glare at Old Beelze- bub, who laid there with one eye peeled up at him, and wished that he Lad a gun himself to load the pesky b'ar with lead. But it was a mighty good thing for Paley that he didn't have none." It seems that Paley. resumed his roaming, and Bart Sproat and his boys killed the two black sheep, took their skins off and hung them iu the shed. "'I'11 take 'em down to Jepthy Wig- gins tomorrow,' said Bart, 'git a good, stiff price for 'em and cook that con- sarned Paley's goose at the same tine!' " Bart went out to get the pelts next morning. They were gone! So was Old Beelzebub. The amazing hear. had stolen the sheep pelts and had made tracks for the woods.

The village clock was striking t hour of 5 one afternoon as Annie G ham stepped out of her trim and co fortable cottage to meet her husba at the gate, She made a pleasant picture for t eye to rest upon. Her year of marri life had been a very happy one, a never did maiden look more eager for her lover than did she for her bu band's return from the distant cit whither he had gone a week ago business for his employers. Among the few ornaments she w was a beautifully chased gold bracel which encircled her left wrist.

She stood at the gate and look down the road in the direction of t small mining village through whic her husband must pass on his wa from the station.

He examined the contents of th purse which she banded to him. The amounted to only half a dollar, and b was dissatisfied. "I'm as dry as a dusty road in June and this will hardly wet my throat Let's see that bauble on your wrist. I hould be worth something," he said ooking greedily at the bracelet.

"Did yo ell your adorable husband that yo of the swop from Watson's for nab ing a trinket like that? No. I guess ot."

Silk In Englund. King James I. was very anxious to naturalize the silkworm in England and to establish a native manufacture of the product. To this end a great many mulberry trees were imported from North America, and a fine plan- tation of them was made near St. James' palace on ground where Buck- ingham palace now sta.nds. This plan- tation was known as the Mulberry Gardens and became a kind of recrea- tion ground. Both Evelyn and Pepys record their visits here, and Dryden is said to have brought a lady friend here to enjoy the "mulberry tarts." Close by were the necessary houses and appliances for rearing the silk- worms and the manufacture of the silk. But the king's experiment failed. A Case of Expiration Anyway. Some years ago a battery of artillery was at big gun practice at Bermuda. One of the guns—a thirty-eight ton— was found to have a serious flaw. The officer in charge, not caring to risk half a dozen valuable lives, inquired: "Sergeant, have you any time ex- pired men here?" "Yes, sir," answered the sergeant. "Paddy Jackson has just completed WS time." "Well, then," replied the thoughtful officer, "Paddy Jackson will flre the gun." And Paddy Jackson did fire the gun. happily with no fatal result. — Edin- burgh Scotsman. A in a Jewel. There is a story told of a French serv- ant who was shown a priceless jewel by a great duke.

"Why, your grace can do no more than look at it, and you have allowed me to do the same." All the Year Round.

Gentlemen:— Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now ve you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num- ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and oidered your treat- ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions. the noisesceased. and to -day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remaiti Very truly yours. P. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with yoar usual occupation.

Y., offered to bet $10 to $1 that nobody in his par- ty could guess how he had received an injury to a finger which he held bleed- ing before the spectators. No one guess- ed, and the man went on to explain that while standing by the lake he had seen a bluejay flying over so close above his head that he instinctively threw up his hand to stop it. The bird neither stopped nor swerved, but in- stead clashed straight for the hand, striking it with such force that the bill penetrated to the bone and sent the blood spurting as though the man had been struck by a k.nife. This sort of action is in- line with the general conduct of the jay. It ig one of the most aggressive birds ou the con- tinent, robbing the nests of other birds and sometimes even killing young squir- rels. The chief good thing that can be said of it is that it often robs the nest of the English sparrow. The Maori and the Witness. Captain Hayes in his book, "Among Horses In South Africa," tells several amusing stories. A friend of his in New Zealand bad been a government interpreter among the Maoris and had many stories to tell about these people. On one occasion.a native chief, who was under cross examination in court, on being asked why he had not brought a certain man with him replied: "I have brought him." "But," said the barrister, looking in vain round the court, "I don't see him. Where is he?" ."He is here," chuckled the Maori proudly, stroking his massive chest. Peculiar Taxation In Holland. Some of the most peculiar of taxa- tions recorded are to be found in the archives of Holland. In 1791, for in- stance, there was in existence a tax imposed on all passengers traveling in Holland. In 1874 a duty of 2 shillings was levied on each person who entered a tavern before noori, Olt those who en- tered a place of entertainment, on mar- riages and deaths and on many other things. If a person was buried out of the district to which he belonged, the tax was payable twice over.—Pittsburg "Is your daughter learning to play by "Certainly not," answered Mrs. Cum- rox a little indignantly.

The good old general was unquestionably an unfortunate e.ad much abused man, but there is' no proof that he begged his living at the , city gates or elsewhere. Yet Van Dyke engraved him and David. the great Frenchman: painted him,, and trage- dies and romances were written around him in the belief that he did sit at the city gates a forlorn and discon- solate object with palm outstretched for alms. The facts are. a conspiracy against the Emperor Justinian being discover- ed, two of Belisarius' officers confessed under torture that the old general was in the plot.

The story is a variation of an old Scan- dinavian saga. A similar bit of "his- tory" is related of William of Clouds - ley in England in the twelfth century. It is denied also that Emperor Charles V. of Spain on his abdication adopted the habit of a monk and occu- pied himself in the manufacture of clocks. It is declared that he never ceased to be emperor de facto, and he never surrendered control of affairs of i- state. Corning down to later times, the peo- ple of three different countries claimed three different men as inventors of the steam engine. In America there is a popular belief to this day that Robert Fulton built the first successful engine and steamboat. In England the Mar- quis of Worcester. who published an account of a steam engine in 1663, has received credit for 'the invention. In France Solomon de Caus (1615) was re- garded as the genius who bad given to the world a new motive power. Each of them may have conceived and work- ed out the idea of a steam engiue with- out the slightest knowledge of what bad been done in that direction before their day, but none of them might rightly lay claim to being the first in the field. On April 17. 1543, Don Blasco de Garay launched a boat of 200 tons bur- den at Barcelona in the presence of the Emperor Charles V. Tlie boat was pro- pelled by steam and made ten miles an hour. She was called La Sanctissima Trinidada. The emperor gave to Don Blasco a handsome present, but did not regard the inventiou as practicable, and 'nothing came of it. From this it would seem that Fulton was centuries behind the times.—New York Mail and POINTERS ON MANICIJRING. When the nails are fragile, a little wax and alum rubbed upon them will strengthen them. If brittle, a little almond oil or cold cream will be found beneficial. To remove white spots from the nails use a mixture of refined pitch and a Lit- tle myrrh upon them at niglit, wiping it off the next morning with olive oil. When about to manicure the hands, dip the fingers into warm, soapy wa- ter and hold them there for a minute or two in order to soften the nails and the scarfskin about them. The scarfskin should be gently push- ed back from the nails before they are polished. It should never unless abso- lutely necessary be cut with the scis- sors. Agnalls, improperly called hangnails, may be prevented by proper attention to the scarfskin which surrounds the nails. For manicuring only a pair of curved nail scissors, a nail file, an orange stick, a chamois polisher, a bottle of vaseline and a box of rose salve or nail powder are necessary.—Mary E. Walker, M. D., in Ladies' Home Journal. A Church Kicker. "When I go to the theater," says a churchman quoted in the Philadelphia Record, "I sit in a finely upholstered seat. Underneath is a rack for my hat, and on the back of the seat ahead is a place to hang my overcoat. In the church which I attend every Sunday is an uncomfortable, straight backer pew, into which the ushers always in- sist upon crowding visitors after my wife and I are seated until sometimes six persons are seated in a space scarcely large enough for four to sit comfortably. Hats and wraps must look out for themselves. "Of course, when I go to the theater I pay for my seat; but, in spite of the fact that salvation is free, I also pay pew rent in church. I might also enter a protest against women wearing their hats in church, but I won't. Some- times it's a relief to retire behind one." l'aps, Brushes and Sponges That Are Left Ia Barber Shops. "What becomes of all the old shay- Mg thugs?" was the question asked the barber. "What becomes of the owners?" was the response. Neither side seemed disposed to an- swer the query, and there was an awk- ward silence. The barber slapped his razor on the strop, smeared some extra lather on the victim's mouth eo he wouldn't be inclined to interrupt and said in a stage whisper: "Now, I'll tell you, but I don't want It shouted from the housetops. We use the mugs again." He paused and sighed as he tossed the questioner's head the other way. "Yes," he continued, "we use them again. We don't like to lose custom- ers; but, if we must lose them, why, we don't mind if they leave their cups, etc., behind. It's surprising how many do; but, then, barbers do mostly a 'shifting trade.' It's no secret that we urge customers to have their own cup, Most of them are satisfied if they have ; a private cup, brush and sponge. We supply them with the man's name on the cup for $1.50, and our profit on the transaction is 50 cents. When a man has a razor and comb and brush be- sides the other tools, he generally takes the whole lot away when he's leaving, but countless cups, brushes and sponges are left behind in every barber shop. "The cups are always good. Many of them contain such common names as John Smith, William Jones, etc., and when some other John Smith or Wil- liam Jones orders a cup we simply sup- ply him with the cast off one. Some- times they need a littlle touching up with gilding; but, on the whole, It's very profitable. "The brushes and sponges? Oh, we use them on the transients."—New York Telegram. How Lamp Chimneys Were Invented. Lamp glasses were invented by Aime Argand, the inventor of the fa- mous lamp and gas burner which bears his name. He had been experimenting for some time in trying to increase the light, but to no purpose. On the table before biro lay the broken neck of an oil flask. This he took up carelessly and placed it, almost without thought, over the wick. -A brilliant flame was the result, and the hint was not lost upon the experimentalist, who pro- ceeded to put his discovery into prac- tical operation at once. Quits. Maud—Kitty, do you know what awful things people ,are saying about you? Kitty—No, dear, and I suppose you do not know what terrible things peo- ple are saying about you. Maud—Perhaps, on the whole, it is well that neither of us should be en- lightened.—Boston Transcript. POULTRY POINTERS. Ducks and geese need no grain when they have plenty of grass. Chicken fatten faster on cooked food than on raw because it is more easily digested. When soft feed is given to either young or old fowls, it should never be thrown on tbe ground. When closely confined, the loose grain fed to fowls should be scattered among litter of some kind, so that they can scratch it out. There is nothing so bad for the health and well being of poultry as confining them in close quarters and preventing them from taking needed exercise. One of the most important items to Insure success in the hatching of chick- ens in winter is to get the eggs from a flock of healthy and vigorous fowls. There is better health among roving fowls because they get the food that to best for digestion and get the necessary grit to help the gizzard do its work. When necessary to administer medi- cine by placing it in the drinking wa- ter, keep the birds from drink for sev- eral hours. Tliey are then thirsty and more apt to get a good swallow. He Did. "Harold, do you ever think of me when you are alone?" "Sweetheart." he said, turning his dark eyes full upon her, "I think o! you every day of my life. There isn't a day passes that I don't get a dun from Stoneking & Co. for that dmond ring on your finger."—Chicago Tribune. His One Daily Mc tl. Dr. George Fordyce, the celebrated anatomist and lecturer on chemistry, used to eat one meal a day and one meal only, but it was a mighty one, washed down with Iiheral drafts of wine and beer. At 4 o'clock every day he used to enter a certain chophouse and take his seat at a table always re- served for him. A silver tankard con- taining a quart of strong ale, a full bottle of port and a quarter of a pint of brandy were placed before him imme- Idiately. ' The moment the waiter announced the doctor's arrival the cook put a pound and a half of rump steak on the fire, and to while away the time until the steak should be properly broiled the waiter brought the doctor some tempting morsel like a broiled chicken or a plate of fish. When he bad eaten this, Dr. Fordyce drank half of his brandy and then began on his steak. While eating the steak be drank the tankard of ale and after that the rest of the brandy. The waiter then un- corked the bottle of port, and the doc- tor proceeded slowly to enjoy it until it was all gone. He spent an hour and a half daily at his one meal and after it returned home to give his lectures on chemistry, which are still quoted as classics of that science. He ate nothing else until the next day, when he re- turned at the same hour to the same chophouse for the seine sort of a meal. Dr. Fordyce lived to be sixty-six years old and kept up his one meal custom to the last. The Last Execution at Tyburn. The last execution on a permanent gallows in London took place at Ty- burn on Nov. 7, ,1783, the malefactor being one John Austin, condemned for highway robbery with violence. For centuries Tyburn had been the scene of executions for criminals condemned in Middlesex, and before the erection of the permanent gibbet occasional hangings had taken place, record exist- ing of the hanging of Judge Tressilian and Nicholas Brembre at that place as far back as 1388. The gallows consisted of three posts, and around it were open galleries, re- sembling race stands, in which seats were let. On account of the disgrace- ful scenes on the road, executions were transferred in 1783 to the area in front of Newgate, despite the objections of residents, and on Dec. 3 of that year the first hanging took place there, when no less than ten were executed.— London Chronicle. An Interesting Relic. In the matter of diminutive bank notes a correspondent sends an ac- count of a curious note which he has in his possession. It is a card measur- ing 2 by 21/2 inches. on one side of which is twice printed the word "Two- pence," while on the otber the sum is printed in words and figures round the border. In the middle is the following: "I promise to pay the bearer. on de- mand, twopence. By order of the Cor- poration of the City of New York. Feb. 20, 1790. D.

Two sons of Britaiu stood near him. The dog strayed away from his owner, who was reading a newspaper. "Hey!" called the farmer. "Come bere, Locksmith," and the dog imme- diately ran to bis feet. One of the Englishmen approached the farmer. "May I ask," he said, "what you called that dog?" "Locksmith," said the farmer, "And why, pray?" "Because every time I kick him he makes a bolt for the door." There was a general laugh, in which the Englishman joined. When he returned to his companion, he remarked: "Most extraordinary name that man over there calls his dog." "What?" asked his friend. "Locksmith," replied the first Briton. "Ana why such a name?" "Because, be says, every time he kicks 'Im he bolts for the door."—St. Louis Republic. "Never give up" is a good motto for 'iue nrst straw paper made in this people who don't pay their debts.— Expresscountry was manufactured in 1828. Chicago News. The Weight of Ice. The iceman and the coalman are often suspected of giving short weights —maybe oftener suspected than guilty; maybe oftener guilty than suspected. The means of testing the weight of from ten to thirty pounds of ice are not always at hand in the house, but a close estimate of the weight can be reached by multiplying together the length, breadth and thickness of the block in inches and dividing the prod- uct by thirty. This will give very closely the weight in pounds. Thus, if a block of ice is 10 by 10 by 9, the prod- uct .is 900, and this divided by thirty gives thirty pounds as the correct weight. A block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs twenty pounds. This simple method can be easily applied, and it may serve to remove unjust suspicion or to detect short weights. French Railways. Railways in France are forbidden to carry persons visibly or notoriously af- fected by contagious diseases in com- partments that are used by the public. In the second place, the daily cleaning and the periodical disinfection of all cars are required. Linens of sleeping cars must bear a ticket indicating to the passenger the date of the last cleaning, and they must be properly washed and afterward subjected to a high temperature. Dry sweeping and dusting, which only serve to scatter disease germs, are prohibited, it being required that all floors. seats and wood- work be wiped with cloths moistened with some antiseptic solution. A Quick Witted Doctor. A certain French surgeon, of whom The Young Ladies' Journal tells, had so much more thought for his patient than for his own safety on one occasion that he resorted to an expedient which, al- though efficacious, might have resulted In his own death. He had been commissioned to bleed the grand seignior and either through timidity or nervousness had met with an awkward accident. The point of the lancet broke off in the vein. and the blood would not flow. That point must be got out sons Without stopping to consider tis ,ste sequences to himself, the eergo4a fii.'tt his highness a violent slap In the face. This produced the desired effect, for surprise and indignation on the part of his august patient put the blood into violent circulation. The vein bled free- ly, and the lancet point came out. The bystanders were about to lay hands on the surgeon when he said, "First let me finish the operation and bandage the wound." This done, he threw himself at the feet of the sultan and explained his action. The sultan not only pardoned him. but gave him a handsome reward for keeping his wits about him in a critical moment. The Arctic Wessel. In cold countries where snow pre- vails during a long winter many of the animals change the hue of their coats to a white tint. The arctic bear and fox are white throughout the year. The northern hare is brown in summer and white In winter. The weasel is especially curious. It retains its brown coat until the first snow appears and then whitens in a few hours. He Remembered.

A Clever Dog. "A Durango man," remarks the Floresvllle (Mo.) Chronicle, "was show- ing to a friend the good points of bis dog and threw a half dollar coin into the river. Obediently the dog dived for the coin and brought up a two pound catfish and 35 cents in change." Curious Freak of Insane Persons. A Belgian physician, speaking of simulation by the insaue, says that in cases of insanity where the intellectual faculties are not too much disordered the insane may simulate another form of insanity than their own. The forms of insanity most often simulated are, in order of frequency, imbecility, de mentia and mania. The other forms are not s41 frequently simulated. A lunatic generally simulates lusanity to escape punishment, and an expert phy- sician should not therefore in such cases be satisfied with a diagnosis of simulation. Such diagnosis does not exclude real insanity. and the physi- cian should therefore endeavor to as- certain whether or not the simulator is himself a lunatic. With care, patience and a long continued observation it is possible to make a complete and cor rect diagnosis, and tjiis is the more im- portant as in these cases the serious question of responsibility arises.—Lon- don Family Doctor. The 1lisateslpp.. Before the coming pf tbe whites to America the Mississippi river was known by a different name every few miles of its course. Each tribe that dwelt along its banks gave it a name, and more than thirty of these local designations are preserved in the nar- ratives of the early traveler'. Why Tomsk Was Ignored. A correspondent of an .English paper tells why the great Transsiberian rail- way does not run through Tomsk. the capital. "How much will you give us if we bring the line past Tomsk?" ask- ed the surveyors and engineers who mapped the route. "Nothing!" replied Tomsk. "We are the capital of Siberia, and you can't avoid coming here." "Ob. can't we?" replied the route finders. "If you don't produce so many thou- sand rubles, there will be insuriSount- able engineering difficulties that will prevent us coming within a long way of Tomsk." These engineering difficul- ties were discovered, and so the Trans- siberian railway sweeps along fifty miles to the south of Tomsk. and a branch line bad to be made. Winning a Brute's Respect. In an article on the training of wild animals in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly Frank C. Bostock, the famous showman, said: "If I were to lay down a basic principle, I would say, just as my father did to me the first time he ever gave me a whip and a lion, 'First of all, warm up to him.' That does not mean to pet him or talk silly nonsense of the affectionate sort, but to treat him with a frank, common sense and a kindly hand and care. "Once a very fierce old tiger which we had in London had nearly killed my brother, and her keepers were afraid of her. It happened that she ran a bit of bone into her paw and had a very sorry time of it. I undertook to re- move it and by the use of lashings and a little patience succeeded. It took four men to help me. When we were about half way through the operation, she got the idea of what we were try- ing to do for her, and a more docile patient surgeon never had, though the pain was great, I am sure. The next day I put a poultice on that foot with one keeper standing outside the cage with a prodding iron as a precaution, and ever after that till the day of her death I could enter her cage at any time without her giving any sign but that of pleasure." Hopeless. An English clergyman was address- ing a congregation of fishermen, and in order to appeal the more to his hearers he introduced a number of nautical similes. He pictured a captain navi- gating his craft through a dangerous passage, surrounded with rocks and currents. and he described the voyage in detail. At last he reached his cli- max, when it seemed inevitable that the ship should be lost. "And what shall we do now?" he made his captain cry. "Bless your soul, guvnor." replied a voice at the back, "that captain o' yours can't do nothin'! He's sailin' his ship stern foremost!" White Lace Veils. To clean a white lace veil boil it gen• tly in a solution of white soap for fif- teen minutes; then put it into a basin of warm water and soap and keep squeez- ing it softly until clean. Follow this by rinsing free of soap and putting It into a basin of cold water containing a drop or two of liquid blue. Next make some very clear gum arabic water or thin rice water and pass the veil through it. Then stretch it out evenly and pin it, making the edge as straight as possible and pinning each scallop separately to a linen cloth, and allow it to dry. When dry, cover it with a piece of thin muslin and iron it on the wrong side. Cure For "the Bines." A prominent physician bas offered a cheap and simple cure for that form of mental depression known as "the blues." It is to smile. The more you smile the better. It relaxes the nerves, promotes digestion. switches the mind to agreeable thoughts and bas a happy effect upon those about you. The rem- edy is a cheap one, and while in some instances it may be hard -to take there is no fear of an overdose.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Bear Was at Home. A woman traveling abroad narrates the following experience: She had oc- casion to go to the British embassy at a certain spot, which shall be name- less, to see the embassador, who, bow - ever, proved tp be away with his wife at a neighboring health resort. The visitor asked for the first secretary, who, unfortunately, was on leave in England. The woman said that the second secretary would do as well, but he happened to be in attendance upon his wife, who was in a hospital. Was the third secretary there? No. He was on leave too. The bottle wash- er might be in, perchance? No. He was shooting in England. The second bottle washer? He, unfortunately, was an invalid and rarely came to the em- bassy. The military attache? He was on leave. The archivist? He was fish- ing in Scotland. The visitor had heard of two junior secretaries, whose custom it was to transact their duties in company with a pet bear. Did they happen to be in? Unfortunately, they were away play- ing polo. And the bear? Yes, the bear was at home. The visitor, however, did not feel equal to interviewing the bear single banded and left.—London Truth. He Knew His Friend. An old German was on his deathbed. In his earlier years he had led a wild life, but since the death of Schneider, one of his boon companions, he had re- formed and given up his bad habits. This Schneider in his day had been a mighty drinker, famous for his capaci- ity and carouses. - The priest was ministering to the dy- ing man, consoling him with visions of the paradise he would soon enter. telling him that he would meet there his old friends and what a joy it would be to see then all again. The dying Ulan asked feebly, "Will Schneider be. there, your reverence?" Thinking to give him pleasure, the priest replied, "Yes; Schneider will be there." "Ach!" said the other. "Dot is very bad. All dose dringings and eadings and fighdings all over again, all dot beer and whisky!" "But there will be no drinking in heaven," said the priest. "But you said Schneider would be dere." "So he will," wee the priest's reply. "Und dere won't be no dringings, you dink? Ach! You don't know Schneider !"—Lippincott's. Long Courtships In Norway. Norwegian weddings are almost al- ways celebrated at the close of a short Scandinavian summer, a season which the industrious Norsemen find too short In which to work and from which they would never dream of taking the days that are necessary for the long drawn out festivities of the Norse wedding. So the maidens who are wooed all the year round are usually wedded at the beginning of winter. Norwegian woo - lugs are very frank and very long a -do- ing. On summer Sundays the lanes, the highways and byways are ateem with lovers. Each couple saunters slowly along, not in the least shy, his arni about her shoulders, her arm about his waist. Nor do they untwtue their arms if they pause a little to chat with friends, not even if they stop to speak with casual acquaintances. Ten or a dozen years often elapse between the first day of courtship and the day of marriage. while a seven years' betroth- al is considered of very moderate length.—Woman's Home Companion. Dreams Without Sleep. Mistress—Well, Bridget, and bow 1s your husband? Washerwoman—Sure, an' he's all used up, mum. Mistress—Why, what ails him?

Once upon a time a fish in search of adventure came to the broad mouth of a brook which emptied itself into.a great river. He turned Into the smaller stream, ascended its current and lis- tened to its constant babbling as ht went leisurely along. As he proceeded be noticed that the brook became very much narrower and shallower. Yet it kept up its babbling just the same. Finally be reached its head and found it to be very insig- nificant. "Brook," said the fish, "never in my life before have I seen such a large mouth and heard so much babbling with so little head behind it." Moral.—The head cannot be judged by the mouth.—New York Herald. Make No Pretenses. Be natural. If you are not what you would like to seem, endeavor to come -:. as nearly to your ideals as you can, but do not affect a manner or char- acter that is not your own, that is not sincere. Affectation betrays weakness of character. It deceives no oe. One may Imagine he is making a great impression. People are too polite to let him know their thoughts, but they see through him. He makes himself less in their estimation. It is. of no use to assume to know that of which one is ignorant. There is a certain strength in hon- esty that carries weight and influence. Integrity will make itself felt. By making no pretenses one is on the right road to advance. There is no fool like the one who thinks he knows it all, or, worse, thinks be can make others think so. Pretenses are despised by all sensible persons. Be true, he genuine, and you retain your self respect and gain that of others.—Milwaukee Jour- nal. Slang In 1832. In 1832 Coleridge in his Table Talk spoke of the word talented as follows: "I regret to see that vile and barba- rous vocable 'talented' stealing out of the newspapers into the leading re- views and most respectable publica- tions of today. Why not 'shillinged,' 'farthinged,' 'tenpenced,' etc.? The formation of a participle passive from a noun is a license which nothing blit a very peculiar felicity can excuse. If mere convenience Is to justify such at- tempts upon the idiom. you cannot stop until the language becomes, in the proper sense of the word, corrupt.

DEFECTIVE PAGE Monumental Brasses. At the beginning of the thirteenth century it occurred to some one to preserve the likeness of his departed friend, as well as the symbols of his rank and station. So effigies were in- troduced upon the surface of the slabs and were carved flat, but ere fifty years had passed away the art of the sculptor produced magnificent monu- mental effigies. Knights and nobles lie clad in armor with their ladies Ily their sides. bishops and abbots bless the spectators with their uplifted right hands, judges lie in their official garb and merchants with the emblems of their trade. At their feet lie animals, usually having some heraldic connec- tion with the deceased or symbolical of his work—e. g., a dragon is trod- den down beneath the feet of a bishop, signifying the defeat of sin as the re- sult of his ministry. The heads of effigies usually rest on cushions, which are sometimes supported by two an- gels.—Gentleman's Magazine. Visiting Card■ In Sweden. An old Swedish custom is for people to indicate their business upon their visiting cards. One will receive the card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Smith or Notary Johnson or Music Professor Brown or Grosserer (which means wholesale merchant) Ferguson or Geol- ogist Thompson, and if a man ever held an office it is customary to indi- cate that fact upon his card. A burgo- master is always a burgomaster, a con- sul is always a consul and an alder- man always an alderman. The pre- fixes "Hon." and "Mr." are seldom used, and the title, whether commer- cial or professional, is observed in con- versation in the same way. It is customary also for ladies to print their maiden names upon their visiting cards in smaller type under their married names, particularly if they have a pride of family and want people to know their ancestry. Anaesthetics In China. A Chinese manuscript in the Paris li- brary proves that anaesthetics for sur- gical purposes were used In China 1,700 years ago. It states that when a surgeon conducted a serious operation he gave a decoction to the patient, who after a few moments became as insert sible as if he were dead. Then, as the case required, the surgeon performed the operation—incision or amputation— and removed the cause of the malady. Then he brought together and secured the tissues and applied liniments. "Aft- er a certain number of days the pa. tient recovered without having expe- rienced the slightest pain during the operation." - Buying and Selling. "You advertised," said the gullible one, "that you bad discovered the key to success." "True," admitted the fakir. "Well, It didn't help me a little bit." "The reason for that," answered the fakir pleasantly, "is that you have been buying the key instead of selling it. It has brought me success."—Chicago Post. Exasperating.

A syndicate of citizens in Waseca has bought The Radical a1 The Journal, and will consolidate the two papers. The Minneapolis News, a daily paper published at the state univer- sity. has been incorporated, with a capital of $10,000. The Princeton union begins its tweuty-sixth volume with a handsome illustrated edition, highly creditable to its enterprising publisher. J, J. Hill, president of the North- ern Securities Company, has given out a lengthy statement to the public in defense of the proposed railroad consolidation, which will be accepted preoisely at what it is w t . Jt may be the truth, but it is n e -truth and nothing, but the truth y a very large majority. The supreme court decides that an indictment will lie under the state law for selling liquor without a license in a village organized under a special law with exclusive juris- diction of the liquor traffic, and which had also voted no license. This was in the case of Frank Swanson, of Cannon Falls. The holders of the first mortgage bonds of the St. Cloud waterworks are about to foreclose a trust deed of $130,000. The second mortgage bonds of $100.000 are mostly held by local parties, who are liable to lose on the investment, in addition to con- trol of the plant. Several of the Minneapolis teachers are to contest the withholding of one per cent of their salaries for a pen- sion fund, and have served the comp- troller with a writ of mandamus. The fund was started two years ago, and aggregates $1.`'00. W. F. Dickinson, a well known banker of Redwood Falls, died at Hot Springs, Ark., on Sunday, of kidney trouble.

Van Sant has called the con- ference of northwestern governors and attorneys general at Helena next Monday. G. R. Kleeberger, president of the normal school at St. Cloud, has re- signed, to take effect May 31st. J. P. Heatwole is right in saying that his position as oppugnant to the imposition of export and import taxes upon the Philippines is consistent with his past record. He was dis- tinguished by his opposition to levy- ing tariff upon Porto Rico. He is distinguished among his constituents, not only for his consistency, but be- cause he was right in the first place. Heatwole deserves a deal of credit for his manly stand, for his political individuality—an individ- uality which does not presuppose severance from his party affiliations in all matters.—Minneapolis Times.

This is the first time that the bridge has been entirely planked since it was built in 1895.—Red Wing Republican. E. M.

That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul- sion. Consumption was carry- ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones.,, One day: a keeper accident- ally broke k btottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emul- sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York. Soc and $t. all druggists. New Cottages at Asylums. C. H. Johnson, architect for the state board of control, is preparing plans for additions and cottages for the Anoka and Hastings insane asy- lums, whose aggregate cost will he $138,000. The contracts will be let this winter so that building operations may be begun early in the spring. The members of the board of con- trol are opposed to the present sys- tem of two central asylums; they favor asylum eottages near the hospi- tals. The new buildings will be so constructed that should the asylums be transformed into hospitals they can be utilized without loss. - "A system of asylums connected with each hospital has ,)Hoch to re- commend it," said W. E. Lee, of the board, yesterday. "Many of the patients at the hospitals cannot be improved by medical treatment, and they take up room that should be devoted to those for whom there is hope. Thie Fergus Falls hospital has about fourteen hundred in- mates, and fully five hundred of these could be as well cared for in adjacent asylums. If asylum cot- tages were built about each hospital, patients could still be under the general care of the superintendent. The cost of transportation to the asy- lums at present is so great that when an inmate goes there he usually re- mains, and the superintendents delay sending patients there. There is plenty of room at all the hospitals for such asylums. If the Anoka and the Hastings asylums were transform- ed into hospitals, and asylums were built at each hospital, the state would need no additional facilities for many years to care for the insane."—bit. Paul Pioneer Press, 21st. When Time Hangs Heavily. Time is never wasted until it "hangs heavily on our hands," when you are neither working nor enjoying yourself. There may be times when it suits one's mood to "loaf and invite one's soul," but they are rare nowadays. If you don't believe it, consider how the average citizen spends his vacation. Most people work harder and econo- mize their vacation time more grudg- ingly in getting the most out of it than they do in any other part of the year. They bate to lose a minute of enjoy- ment. Of course there are times—every day —when time seems absolutely wasted, and these are the times when men's tempers are on edge and things go crosswise. Chief among this list of wasted and monotonous intervals is the time spent in waiting for a car, in traveling on it after you get it, in wait- ing for meals, in fuming over dilatory appointments or by reaching there too soon. Other instances are where the bore buttonholes you and insists with exce4lsive eloquence in stringing a three line item into a two column tale. —Pittsburg Dispatch. Huge Spiders Wove Them. Every one who owns a little strip o garden knows what it is to clear away spider webs, a matter of small diffi- culty and lightly performed, but a pop- ular naturalist who lately returned from the great woods of Central Amer- ica came across spiders' webs of such strength and huge dimensions that they were positive obstacles in his path. Needless to say, the tenants of these webs were of a monstrous size. "I measured one of these fabrics," he says. "It had a diameter of more than six feet, without including the long brace threads that run out like forestays to the extremity of the sur- rounding branches. I then took a num- ber of wild lemons and flung them against the center with all my might. The web stopped every one. It is no wonder that when a bird becomes en- tangled in the meshes•the huge spider is able to make a breakfast off him."

"The lack of physicians is one of the horrors of the isolation in which the Newfoundlanders of this coast live," says Norman Duncan in Ainslee's. There is none within fifty miles of most harbors; none within reaching distance of many. It is related of a well to do fisherman who was some- thing of a merchant that his wife, whom he fondly loved, lay in agony for many days while an autumn gale raged. No man in the harbor would put off in a skiff to fetch the nearest physician, who lived fifteen miles down the coast, for there was no possibility that he who ventured could survive. On the fourth day the wind moderated. Two men volunteered to accompany Allerton. They set sail in the first hours of a snowstorm, which abated, however, before they reached their des- tination. Fighting doggedly, they took the boat safely in, atter indescribable hardship and through ever present dan- ger. The gale had gone down when they knocked on the physician's door. A heavy sea was running, but the dan- ger of wreck on the return voyage was quickly passing. " `What's the matter with the wom- an?' the physician asked. "He was informed. "The husband minutely described his wife's agony. Then he offered what amounted almost to half his fortune as a fee. " `I'll take that,' said the doctor, 'if you fetch her here. Go back and get her, and I'll attend to the case.' "'In an open boat!' the husband ex- claimed. He pointed out that his wife's condition put such an arrangement be- yond the bounds of reason. " 'Well, I can't do anything,' said the physician. 'If you bring her over, I'll attend to her.' "When the husband got back to his home, the child had been born, but the woman died the next day." PARRY A COMPLIMENT. Accept One Always, but Never Take It Seriously. The famous Mme. Recamier said that she always found two words sufficed to make her guests seem welcome. Up- on their arrival she exclaimed, "At last!" and when they took their leave she said "Already?" If taken literally, we should deprecate the flattery. Flat- tery is insincere praise and wrongs him that gives and him that takes. It is sometimes kinder to accept a com- pliment than to parry it. One may say "Thank you, it is pleas- ant to be seen through such kind (or partial) eyes," or perhaps, "It is a com- fort to know that friendship is partly blind as well as the mythological boy," or any nonsense that serves to show that one appreciates the spirit that prompted the kind expression, howev- er wide the truth. The frequent repetition of the name of the person addressed holds a subtle compliment, implying more complete concentration of the speaker's thought upon his or her personality. De Quincy says: "More is done for the benefit of conversation by the sim- ple magic of good manners than by all varieties of intellectual power." It is the sympathetic and responsive listeners that call forth the best efforts of a talker. For such are reserved his choicest stories, his finest thoughts. A ready smile acts as inspiration, and interest shown in the conversation of others stimulates and vivifies their thoughts. To a good listener the diffident will say what they think, and the verbose will think what they say. There is nothing more trying than to find that one's conversation is receiv- ing but a divided attention and noth- ing more rude than for a person to pick up a book or paper and look over it while pretending to listen to what one is saying.—New York Herald. Sayings About Breadcrumbs. In the days when the "bread loaf" was dear careful mothers had a set of thrift sayings which are seldom heard in this time of the big, cheap loaf. Crumbs were regularly swept up and kept for some useful purpose. If a child threw crumbs in the fire, the old fashioned mother lifted a warning fin- ger and said, "If you throw crumbs in the fire, you are feeding the devil." Children were told that the better part of a loaf was the crust, and when a child was sent to the shop for bread the order was to ask for "a Crusty loaf." If a child left its crust, came the warning: "Yes, my lady (or my lad), you'll want for a loaf some day. You'll find hunger's a sharp thorn."—Notes and Queries. On the Free List. Some years ago there was a tollgate on a plank road leading to Elmwood cemetery, Detroit. All funerals were allowed to pass along this road with- out paying. One day Dr. Pierce, a well known physician, while paying his toll, jok- ingly remarked to the gatekeeper: "Considering the benevolent charac- ter of our profession, I think you ought to let us pass free of charge." "No, no, doctor," said the gatekeeper; "we can't afford that. You send too many deadheads through as it is."— New York Times. A Prisoner. "I thought you guaranteed that snit of underwear you sold me not to shrink," said the customer who en- tered the store and stood In a some- what cramped attitude. "I did," replied the merchant. "If it shrinks, bring it back." "I have brought It back," said the customer in evident embarrassment, "but I got caught out in the rain and can't get it off."—Ohio State Journal. Her Age.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. DANCING CLASSES. Miss Evelyn Officer and Miss Elsie Constans wish to announce that their dancing class will begin Friday. Jan. 3d, 1902. Children's class at 4:30, and young people's class at 7:45 p. m. In order that the classes may be well filled. the prices have been reduced as follows—for the sixteen lessons—for one, 88; for two from one family, 515; and for three from the same family, 821. It is essential that those intending to take the course of lessons begin together, as every lesson will be of value, and it would hardly be fair to keep a whole class waiting for one or two to catch up. The young ladies hope that it will be possible to teach not only the steps and dances, but that the cla-s will advance rapidly enough so that they may teach the German. This will make the lessons very interesting toward the end, mucli in the nature of a party, and will enable any One who has profited by the course to feel at ease at any cotillion. FIT FOR ANY HOME. FIT The New York Tribune's plans and programme for 1902 contemplate improvements all along the line, so as to keep it in the front rank of the newspaper procession. What The Daily Tribune is and what it stands for pretty nearly everybody knows. That it keeps pace in enterprise with the spirit of the age, without sacrificing decency or a"curacy, it is needless to say. Hut a word as to the other publications issued from The Tribune office may be timely. For in- stance, it may not be generally known that the famous old Weekly grew and grew until it be- came imperatively necessary to divide it in two —The Tribune Review and The Tribune Farmer. The Review is suitedalike to persons of their highest culture, to those who are educating themselves and to all who wish the week's his- tory summarized, explained and illuminated for them. Special attention is given to municipal affairs, domestic and foreign politics, and to books end literary news. It is published every Saturday. Price five cents a copy, or 81 a year. The Farmer. issued every Thursday. is one of the handsomest agricultural papers published 10 tt:is or any other country. The illustrations are superb, and the articles embrace everything relating to farms or farm work. It is a paper which farmers and all who have business deal- ings with them cannot well afford to get along without. 81 a year. The Tri -Weekly Tribune occupies a field all its own. It warms learned by experience that thousands of persons in various parts of the country wanted a New York newspaper, and yet they didn't want oue. That sounds paradoxical, but it isn't so much so as oue might think at first glance. What they were really atter was a con- densed New York newspaper which wouldn't tax either their purse or their time too much. So it came to pass that The Tri -Weekly Tribune took the p1Ace of the old Semi -Weekly. The Tri, as it is familiarly called, appears on Monday, Wednes- day, and Friday, and in these three issues one may find the cream of the matter in the seven issues of The Daily Tribune.

The affair be- gan then, but before I say any more let nee, recall to your mind the fact that r was always regarded in the fam- ily as my grandfather's heir. The title and entailed estate would go, of course. to his eldest son, my uncle, but the greater part of his vast wealth would come to me. In fact, he had so de- clared. I had lost both parents when but a child, and I had grown td man- hood under bis immediate care, for he had long been a widower. My father had been his favorite son. What more natural than that I should be the pre- -' (erred one? There was this under- standing. however. between my grand- father and myself: I must never marry without his approval. Marry! I had PP y no thought of it. My rollicking bach- elor life pleased me too well to ex- change it for any other. And that sort of existence lasted un- til I was twenty-seven, and then it was brought to an abrupt close by— what do you suppose? Well. a girl's face, nothing more—a girl's face seen for a brief moment only at a window as I was changing carriages at Bolton station. You smile. I don't wonder, but I declare to you that from thence- forth I knew no peace of mind. That face was ever before me, looking out from under a dainty gypsy hat, pale, pure, perfect in outline, with a luxuri- ant mass of soft brown hair full of shiny ripples, dark eyes, a little red mouth and shining white teeth. "Some dreamy little chit," I said to myself again and again, "with a pret- ty face and a head full of romance. I wish I had never seen her. At all events, it is highly probable that we have met for the first and last time; so I'll forget her." Brave words! I could not forget her, and just then, to add to my perplexity, my regiment was ordered offlto India. A few days before embarking 1 re- ceived a letter from my grandfather, Sir John Holbrooke, urging me to run down to The Towers in order that I might meet the lady who was destined to be my future wife. My answer was short and to the point: Dear Grandfather—I have no desire to marry. Besides, I start for India in two weeks, so 1 have no time for courtship. But I shall run down to The Towereto see you. Your affectionate, etc. The old getitleman's answer was equally concise and explicit: ity Dear :randson-1f you come to The Tow- ers with the intention of putting yourself en- tirely in my hands, I shall be overjoyed to see you. If you attempt to enter my house with any other intention, I'll have you kicked out, and it you go to India, 1 hope to heaven that you'll be shot. Your affectionate, etc. What could be done in the face o such an epistle as this? Evidentl nothing, so I cheerfully made w preparations for departure, and befor we sailed—I an, glad to remember thi —before we sailed I wrote again to Si John, but this „me it was a letter ful of gratitude and affection and earnes regrets that I could not do as be de- sired. To this I received no answer, but a month after my arrival in India I read the announcement of the baronet's death, and the same paper contained his marriage notice.. A letter from his solicitors explained the mystery,' My grandfather had been severely injured while overlooking some reno- vations which %T7 being made at The Towers, and. feeling that death was fast approaching, he had almost at the last moment married the only child and heiress of Hubert Monckton. Esq. "Moreover," wrote the lawyer, "by your grandfather's will you inherit something above £50,000, provided you consent to` marry the lady with whom he went through the ceremony of mar- riage on his deathbed. Otherwise you receive not a penny of his fortune." - Had the man gone mad? . lRrr Y -m y grandmother? For, word it as they might, the ugly fact was still there— the woman was my grandmother. Bristling with indignation. I wrote to Sir John's lawyer—not very civilly, I fear, but very energetically, 1 atn sure. In the first place, I said I would not accept a penny of Sir John Haltrooke's fortune as a free gift. In the next. I would not accept the whole of it bur- dened with a single restricting clause, and, in conclusion, 1 not only refused to marry the widow, but absolutely de- clined holding any comtnunication whatefer with her. "And say to my grandmother," Ladd - ed, "that the world is wide enough and there are men enough in it for her to seek whom she may devour elsewhere and not among those whom the law of the land now declares to be her own kith" and kin. Let her cast ber eyes among the strangers at her gates and not upon her grandson!" That ended the matter, and i was troubled with no more letters about, it, Two years afterward I returned to England on leave, and then fate, in the person of General Ashland, led me down to Surrey for a fortnight's shoot- ing. Ah, my dear fellow, it is only the old story over again. I went down 'to Sur- rey and met there—whom do you sup- pose? Weil, the girl whose face—seen once and for a moment only — had haunted me for years. She was a distant relative of my _host. Yes. and i loved her desperately not for her beauty alone, but for the pure goodness, kindliness and unself- ishness of her heart. which were con- stantly and unthinkingly revealing themselves In a thousand artless little ways. So, as you may guess, my two weeks at Ashland Park wore on to four, and I still lingered, even until the dying leaves were rustling feebly in the mel- low air of a belated autumn. And one clear, starlit evening, when Helen and I were saunterilig among e trim flower beds that were cut in e soft green turf of the terrace, I Id her the secret of my heart—its ope, its fear, its sweet unrest. When I ceased, my companion looked - at me wonderingly, and, upon my nor, tears were glistening in her tty eyes. "What!" she said. "Are you sure? you love me—nie? Oh, Colonel • Halbrooke, how could you? Indeed, 1 cannot—cannot be!" "Because your heart is given else where, I suppose? But, Helen, I can not let you go from me! I love you Oh, my darling, how shall I live all th long weary years of my life withou you?" "Hush!" she cried sharply. "Sir, d you know—do you know who [ am?" "Indeed, yes! The sweetest little gir Iin the wide world!" "No, sir, I am not. Colonel Hal brooke, I am your grandmother!" 1- My grandmother! Talk of sudde shocks after that, won't you? I trie "to speak, but my voice failethme. reached out my bands and touched her Yes, she was there, real enough, and 1 was not dreaming. - "Tell me all!" I gasped. And standing there by the broad stone coping she told me all—how her parents had died when she was little more than an infant, and Sir John, her guardian, had watched over. her with jealous care; always keeping ber at school, however, until he brought her home to The Towers, a young lady. She had heard of me. She knew all about her guardian's intentions and my persistent refusal to see her.

' "Not for myself, Colonel Halbrooke," she continued, "for I inherited a for- tune, but for you. The property has been sold, according to instructions. and the money coming from the sale is yours. Sir John wished you to take it. He often said that your allowance was paltry compared with what should have been yours and would have been. too, had your father not left so many debts behind hitin."

A friend of Cardinal Newman says in The Cornhill that that eminent man spent every day from 9 to 2 or 3 o'clock in his study. "He always kept on his table the edition of Gibbon, with the notes of Guizot and Milman, Dolling- er's 'Heidenthum and Judenthum;' al- most always the copy of 'Athanasius' which bad belonged to Bossuet and which contained in tbeenargin notes in the handwriting of the great bishop— the 'last of the fathers,' as Newman delighted to call him. Newman had also always near at baud some Greek poet or philosopher. "Talking to me one day about Greek thinkers, he said — and I believe be has mentioned It to others—that be owed little or nothing intellectually any Latin writer, with- one exception. The exception was not St. Augustine, but Cicero. He always maintained that be owed his marvelous style. to the persistent study of Cicero. This will strike, no doubt. many people as most strange. St. Augustine, one would think, would have appealed to New- man, and bis Latin was more pictur- esque than that of Cicero. "Again, authorities say that Newman wrote better English than Cicero Lat- in. Nevertheless he constantly insist- ed on his obligations tothegreat Ro- man statesman." Black Days. In the calendar of the nations there are quite a number of "black" days. "Black Monday" was April 14, 1360, a day so dark and cold that many of the army of Edward III., king of England, which lay before the city of Paris, were frozen to death. An immense bush fire occurred on "Black Thurs- day" in Australia, Feb. 6, 1851. Two events are commemorated by "Black -Friday" in England—Dec. 6, 1755, when the news reached England that the pretender bad arrived at Derby, and May 11, 1866, when the failure of Over- land. Gurney & Co. brought on a most disastrous panic. A panic •.in New York occurred Sept. 25, 1869, which was afterward known as "Black Fri- day." 'Black Saturday" is the name applied to Aug. 4, 1621, when a great - storm occurred at the time parliament was sitting to enforce episcopacy upon the people. small Boy's Divorce.

Turn the mirror slowly around, and the images will appear to revolve around on a common center. The explanation of this queer little phenomenon may be found iu the fact that there are two surfaces in a mirror, one in front and the other in the back, where the quicksilver is. The brightest of the images is from the moon itself. The others are what are known as secondary images, re- flected from the front to the back of the mirror and thence to the eye. A similar experiment may be made with the planets Venus, Jupiter and Mars or with any of the first magni- tude stars, such as Sirius, Capella, Arcturus, Vega and Antares. The planets and the stars, however, make only three images, the number of images depending on the breadth of the object. A perfectly clear night is es- sential.—New York Herald. The Dear Old Frauds. Those old, pleasant, innocent frauds of the circus are not practiced now— the imposing, five barred gates that, as the horse approached them, were sloped into insignificant wattles and the rings through which the signorina pur- ported to leap, but which in reality were insinuated over her by compliant attendants. And then there was that venerable jockey performance, the cul- mination of which was a leap from the ring to a standing position, albeit at an angle of 30 degrees. on the horse's back. In the old circuses it was the custom of the horseman to miss the crowning jump two or three times in order that a fiercer flame of interest might be kindled in the audience. Aft- er two failures the band would stop (always the presage of a moment of strain supreme), the horse's head would be loosed, he would be urged to a -greater pace, and the feat would gloriously succeed. Then what a crash of brass and outburst of delight in the building, involving even the staff and ringmaster in the expression of - ec- stasy. Those old, simple days!—Corn- hill. Making It Clear. To confuse a witness is generally an easy task, and lawyers know no easier way than to make a witness explain the meaning of his words. knowing that very few people can do so without getting excited. Occasionally a victim resents this nagging and answers in a spirited and unexpected manner. A lawyer was cross examining a young girl of rather haughty temper. She had testified that she had seen the defend- ant "shy" a book at the plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized on the word. "Shy—shy a book? What do y t, mean by that? Will you explain to th court what the word 'shy' means?" The girl leaned over the desk be- neath the witness box, picked up a lawbook and threw it at the lawyer's head, who dodged just in time. a "I think the court now understands the meaning of the word 'shy,' " said the judge gravely, and the girl was al- lowed to finish ber testimony without further interruption.—London Tit -Bits. Inquisitive Penguins. We often met companies of six or eight or more penguins promenading on the arctic ice pack in the sunshine. When they saw us, they generally ex- hibited curiosity and approached to get a nearer view. I do not know If these birds have the instinct of the naturalistand a d takel a }vel interest, y t, doubtless philosophictrom their point a view, in everything new which pre- sents itself or If the object of their investigations is entirely practical, but they certainly came near us with a dis- tinct purpose of making examination. But if we had the misfortune to ex- cite much curiosity they became ag- gressive. One would first come close to us and reconnoiter, and then, on his order. the others would advance with a menacing air, and the battle began, a battle in which we sometimes had trouble to demonstrate effectively our superior strength.—Geographical Mag- azine. The Black Maria. The following Is given as the origin of the term "Black Maria:" When New Englaud was filled with emigrants from the mother country, a negress named Maria Lee kept a sailors' board- ing house in Boston. She was a wom- an of great strength and helped the au- thorities to keep the peace. Frequently the police invoked her aid, and the saying. "Send for Black Maria." came to mean. "Take him to jail." British seamen were often taken to the lockup by this amazon. and the stories they spread of her achievements led to the name of Black Maria being given to the English prison van. No Squealing. Some English travelers were recently In a restaurant in a German town When a woman who was serving im- parted the interesting information that a pig was being killed round the cor- ner. One of them remarked that it was curious that the pig did not squeal. The woman looked at them in surprise. "Aber," said she, "es ist polizeilich ver- boten"—it's forbidden by the police.

She doesn't go to her clubs and su- chres half as much as she did. Peo- ple used to say this charming worean spent most of her time at these gather- ings. One day she called on a deur friend to reprove her for her slacken- ing interest in the club. I believe it was a club for reforming the gas met- er or something—anyhow it was a re- form affair. "Look here, Lizzie," said the enthu- siast, "why on earth don't you come to the meetings? Here you are paying your dues and never showing up. You owe it to the club to take an interest iu the work." "But I can't come," explained her friend. "There's the baby, and Henry doesn't come home sometimes till late, and supper inust wait, and if he wants to go out I can't go away and leave the children. I would worry myself to death." "Well, I must say Henry is Inconsid- erate," said the caller. "Why, there's thy husband 'and children too. They give me no trouble. Every.time I want to go to the club Charlie says he will be glad to stay at home with Bridget and keep an eye on things till I come back. He never objects." "Maybe," retorted the amiable host- ess, "if I had a housegirl as handsome and young as Bridget Henry would be glad to stay at home, too, but mine is black and goes home at nights." The blow landed, and Charlie hasn't been asked to look after Bridget and the house since.—Louisville Times. Length of Dreams. Three physicians were discussing the matter of the lenOth of dreams a day or two ago, when one of them related a strange experience. "Yesterday afternoon," he said, "I called to see a patient, and, - much to my satisfaction, I found bhn sleeping soundly. I sat by his bed, felt of his pulse without disturbing him and wait- ed for ,him to awaken. After a few minutes a junk dealer's cart with dis- cordant ringing bells turned into the street, and as their first tones reached us my patient opened his eyes. "'Doctor,' he said, 'I'm glad to see you and awfully glad that you woke me, for I have been tortured by a most distressing dream that must have last- ed for several hours. I dreamed that I was sick, as I am, and that my boy came into the room with a string of most horribly sounding sleighbells and rang them in my ears, while I hadn't power to move or speak to him. I suf- fered tortures for what appeared to be an interminable time. I'm so glad you woke me.' "The ringing of those bells for one second had caused all of that dream and just at the waking moment"— New York Herald. Hairbrushes. No amount of washing of the hair will keep it clean if dirty brushes are used, yet persons otherwise fairly neat are careless in this respect. A special- ist says that hairbrushes should be washed once a week and, if used on hair in which there Is much dandruff, twice a week is not too often. The brushes should be washed in cold, not hot, water, to which cloudy ammonia has been added in the proportion of a scant tablespoonful to a quart of wa- ter. Care should be taken not to wet the backs of the brushes, and when `washed and rinsed—a good way to rinse them properly is to use a shower spray on them—they should be put on edge in the air to dry. Dress combs, too, should be frequently cleaned, a cornu cleaner being used for the pur- pose. "A Nine Days' Wonder." The memorable reign of Lady Jane Grey is said to have given rise to the phrase, "A nine days' wonder." Lady Jane was proclaimed queen of England July 10, 1553, four days after the death of Edward VI. After the lapse of a period of nine days, on July 19, she re- linquished t.d her title to the crown, 9ow thus terminating her reign in the short space of a week and a half. A noted Eng- lish historian says, "Thus we come to the end of the diary of that short and troubled reign that from Its length Is said to have given rise to the now (1620) popular phrase, 'A nine days' wonder.' g Aeeklessaess.

The Wrong Leff* There was an eminent sergeant at law Some years ago who hada cork leg that was a triumph of artistic decep- tion. None bel his Iutitff.tee knew for certain which was the real and which was the Shaul limb. A wild young wag of the "outer bar," who knew the ser- geant pretty well, once thought to util- ize this knowledge of' the sergeant's se- cret to take In a green, newly Hedged young barrister. The sergeant was ad- dressing a special jury at Westminster in his usual earliest. and vehement style, and the wag whispered to his neighbor: "You sec low hot old Buzfuz Is over his case. Now, I'll bet you a sovereign I'll run this pin into his leg up to the head and he'll never notice It, he's so absorbed in his speech. He's a most ex- traordinary man in that way." This was more than the greenhorn could swallow, so he took the bet. The wag took a large pin from his waist- coat and, leaning forward, drove It up to the head in the sergeant's leg. A yell that froze the blood of all who beard it, that made the hair of the jury stand on end -and the judge's wig almost fall off, rang through the court. "By Jove, it's the wrong leg! I've lost my money," exclaimed the dismayed and conscience stricken wag, quite' re- gardless of the pain he had inflicted up- on the learned sergeant—London An- swers. To Judge the Age of Lace. In fixing the approximate date of any given piece of lace it is well to re- member that machine made thread was not used till after the beginning of the eighteenth century- Before that time the threads ran in lengths of about twenty inches, for the worker could stretch no farther than her distaff and had to break off and join again, so that after unraveling some twenty-five inches of thread no joint is found the lace is surely after the introduction of machine made thread. The "bride's ornee" alone are enough to go by. In the fifteenth century the bar had only a knot or a dot as ornament, in the sixteenth a double or single loop and in the seventeenth a star. The edging also helps.

Some Tyrolean Epitaphs. A German traveler has discovered some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean cemetery. On a tombstone in a valley of Tux was this inscription: "In pious remem- brance of the honest widow Anna Kriedi, forty years long." A miller is thus remembered: "In Christian memory of 11—, who de- parted this life without human assist- ance." A farmer whose initials only are given and who appears to have been the author of his own epitaph has this memorial: "Here rests in God F. K. He lived twenty-six years as man and thirty-seven years as husband." On the tomb of a man who fell from a roof and was killed are these words: "Here fell Jacob Hosennkopf from the roof into eternity." This wail oL a desolate husband caps the climax: "Tears cannot bring thee back to life. Therefore I weep."— Household Words. She Needed Them. "I wish, John," she said regretfully, "I had bad sense enough not to destroy all the letters you wrote me during the year and a half of your courtship." He smiled in a gratified way. "1 knew you would regret that some time," he said. "Indeed I dib}," she replied. "I need a little change the worst sort of way, and the man who buys rags and olcl pa- per was here today. How wasteful we arein our youth!" He looked at her reproachfully, and almost involuntarily his hand sought his pocketbook. It is seldom indeed that a resourceful woman has to make a direct request for money.—Chicago Post. Furniture Polish. A recipe for a very superior furni- ture polish given by a dealer in musical instruments to a housewife as the cause for the shining surfaces of the pianos in his rooms consists of four tablespoonfuls of sweet oil, four table- spoonfuls of turpentine, a teaspoonful of lemon juice and ten drops of house- hold' ammonia. This polish must be thoroughly Shaken before using and ap- plied with an old flannel or silk cloth. Rub briskly and thoroughly, which is at least a third of the nierit of all pol- ishes. Use a second cloth to rub the a,ixture intothe grain of the wood and a third for the final polish. Mating -a Pineapple. A Florida fruit grower states that the natives of the pineapple district never think of cutting a pineapple across. They pare it, cut it lengthwise, slice it or not, and, with the trimmed crown as a handle, eat It much as a New Eng- lander does his green corn, rejecting ; the -core. This, the writer states. not only improves the flavor, but lessens the strings of fiber that get in the teeth. Jack and the Baby. Eleanor—What was the baby crying about just now?
