Material and method will not and cannot make it, says a writer in the Cooking School. It must get its light and sweetness from those who inhabit it, from flowers and sunshine, from the sympathetic natures which, in their exercise of sympathy, can lay aside the tyranny of the broom and the awful duty of endless scrubbing. Memorial to Le Conte. An appropriate memorial to the great geologist and scientist, Joseph Le Conte, has been erected in Yosemite valley by the Sierra club of California. It is a lodge, built strongly and simply, containing one large room, twenty-five by thirty-six feet, with a large stone fireplace at one end, and a small room on either side the entrance on the opposite end. It is at the upper end of the valley. Steam Turbine for Pumps. The steam turbine principle has been adapted to a centrifugal high-pressure pump. The action is reversed, however the water entering at what would be the exhaust end, gradually accelerating as it passes through the several fixed and movable vanes, until it acquires a high velocity at what would ordinarily be the outlet end. The Tailor Took His Measure. "I was getting measured for a suit of clothes this mawning," said young Mr. Sissy to his pretty cousin, "and just for a joke, y'know, I awsked Snipem if it weally took nine tailors to make a man. He said it would take more than nine tailors to make a man of some people. I thought it was quite clevah."—Exchange. Onions for Insomnia Onions are recommended as a good thing for insomnia. A favorite dish in England is one of the big sweet Spanish onions cooked in milk. Celery may also be used in the same way, stewed in milk. It is good for the nerves, and consequently for sleeplessness. Earrings Indicate Nativity. The earrings worn by Italian organ grinding women indicate the part of Italy the wearers come from. The longer the earrings the farther south the original homes of the women. In the far north the ornaments are quite short. Cyclist Tells Fish Story. A veracious cyclist tells how a swarm of bees settled on his body while out cycling. He kept quite cool and rode slowly until his lively companions flew off. In this way he escaped without a single puncture! Primroses. The old-fashioned yellow primroses which are beginning to blossom in the south of England, have now a competitor called buttercup primrose. It was introduced by W. K. Harris, nurseryman of Philadelphia. Force of Modern Bullets. The modern bullet will pierce the carcasses of three horses in succession at 550 yards; of four at half the distance; and one will kill a man after passing through the trunk of a thick tree. Amazon Region No Good. United States Consul Ayme at Para, Brazil, sounds a note of warning for the benefit of those who think there is a golden field for exploitation in the Amazon region of South America. "I despair," says Mr. Ayme, "of finding language strong enough to express the utter and absolute hopelessness of success that awaits any of those unhappy enough to attempt to make even a bare living on the banks of the mighty Amazon. I do not say that the acquisition of a fortune or a competence is difficult, doubtful or impossible; I say that such a miserable existence as would disgust a Digger Indian would be hardly obtainable by one man in 10,000 of such as are thinking of coming here. It may be that there are places in Brazil where colonists might do well, perhaps, but I do not know of any such places." The rubber trees, Mr. Ayme says, are widely separated and they can only be reached by forcing one's way through a thick-matted, almost impenetrable swamp forest which produces very little food for human beings --- ForFine Tailoring GOOD FIT And Workmanship GO TO B.

Among Other Things, Baker Says Germans Can't Make Them. “There's one funny thing about ple,” said a New York boss pie founder the other day. “That's the way Dutchmen can't make ’em. “Almost every other kind of baking 4s in the hands of Germans, and I don't deny that they make good snails and pretzels and rye bread aud sink- ers. But they are no good on pies. “And why? Because to take a thing right you've got to like it, and you never yet saw the Dutchman who could appreciate a good American pie. They don't like ’em and can't make ’em right. “Tt takes a Yankee, who can under- stand the fine points of a good pie. Our bakers just live on ple—eat it all the time—and they're the healthiest gang of men you ever met. “Why, out West they've got a pie baker that’s a pugilist, and a mighty gcod one, and he trains on pie. That’s right. If he doesn’t get proud and shake the pie-works, I expect to see him a champion. “Pretty nearly every town in this country with more than 100,000 inhab- itants has its pie factory with a mon- opoly of the local business. We've figured it out, and found that a town smaller than that won't support a fac- tory. But, of course, the business goes best in New England, where they appreciate pie. “And here’s something funny. All You newspaper people seem to think there's something funny about pie. The alleged comic tramp always steals pies from the young housewife. If any one gets soaked with anything, it’s always a ple. “What's funnier about a pie than about a doughnut or a hunk or rye bread or a pretzel? But you fellows seem to think that pie will draw the langh every time. Why? Honest, now, why? “Up in Boston, where they’ve learned what pie, eaten in modera- tion, can do for the human body and brain, they don’t josh it. No, sir. it’s pie for breakfast right along with the champagne on the tables of all the best families in New England.” Herr Conried Is Worried. Herr Conried looks as fatigued al- ready as if he had been through two Opera seasons. He is never seen without a paper volume in his hand. He rides in his automobile with such a book before him. He walks in to Iunch holding the same kind of a book so close to his nose that he has to be steered to his table by the wait- ers. He places the paper volume be- fore him and guides his food to his mouth as accurately as poscible with- out looking at it. The opera director is reading plays enough for the whole season at his German theater, where many are needed. “And it’s the hardest part of the business,” he says. “I would rather stage, manage and produce twenty plays than have to read five. Once I have selected my repertoire for the season, the rest is easy."—New York Sun. Turbine Mail Packets.

Protest to a Kansas Teacher, A school teacher near Ruthven re ceived this note from the mother of one of her pupils: “Dear Teecher: On last day skul yu jerked my boy by the necke till yu busted his sus penders and he had to com hom hold- in’ his clothes onto hisself with his hands which I don’t like it. If he don mind lik him all he needs but dont tare his clothes. We don dress him up for no foot bali game. And so no more for the present. Mrs. ——.” Cows and Music. Some cows seem to enjoy the lively jigs we sometimes whistle at milking time, and others do not like them so weil, but prefer the old-fashioned, long-horned tunes our grandfathers used to sing at meeting. Suit your tunes to the temperament of the cow you are milking. There is fitness in all things, and this will best fit into your returns at the end of the season. —Philadelphia Farm Journal. Oaks Named for English Queens, Many English queens have chosen oak trees in Win‘lsor forest whereon their names, with the dates of their choice, have been commemorated by means of brass plates. In different parts of the forest, with seats around them, are oaks bearing the names of Queen Elizabéth, Queen Caroline, Queen Charlotte and Queen Victoria. Thief Outruns Police. A novel event at a sports meeting held at Lowestoff, England, in connec- tion with a police picnic was a “thief” race, in which the “thief” had twenty- five yards’ start and was allowed to Tun anywhere within an inclosure. The “thief” eluded capture for the stipulated time of three minutes and took the prize. Persian Newspapers. The only Persian newspapers which resemble those published in other countries are those issued in India and Egypt, which copy English mod- els. The few papers published ct Teheran contain little besides the Shah’s proclamations and pictures of prominent officials. Many Days Without Sleep. Philadelphia physician tells of a doctor who went without sleep for eight days and nights, and of another who did not go to bed for eighteen days. Napoleon rode for days in the saddle apparently without sleep. No authentic tests probably exist. Pretty Japanese Custom. There is a pretty custom connected with a Japanese marriage which Euro- peans might well copy. Instead of sending wedding cake, as we western- ers do, the Japs distribute to their friends sugar flowers beautifully mado and delicately colored.

The correspondent gives warning to all homeseekers to take advantage of the prices cffered by real estate men over the territory before it is too late. New Mexico is destined soon to become a state. The water of the Rio Grande is sufficient to irrigate thousands of acres of land and make profitable homes for hundreds of thousands of people. The African Emigation Colonization scheme is nothing compared to the inducement that New Mexico holds out to Negroes looking for homes, They can rear children here among the friendly na- tives of this winterless climate. When we speak of the friendliness of the disposition of the Mexican to our peo- ple we do not refer to the few Mexi- cans on the borders and in some of the larger cities who have learned to discriminate from his association with the white man, who is always a car pet bagger, but we speak of the na- tives of the interior where the best opportunities for Negroes are offered, where he can become, with average intelligence in a short time, a social, political and commercial power.

Greet- In the order I represent, recognzied The Elks. new lodges are springing into existence in almost every city of importance in the country. From the points of the compass, tidings come to show that our watch words are uttered and our principles practiced everywhere; that good fellowship and brotherly love prevail; there are good deeds and the sounds of praise, and the beating of grateful hearts make one unbroken melody. As we grow older the greater becomes the strain. Where the Lodge of Elks exist there is something that is god- I.B.P.O. OF E. ALCES 10 RICE LODGE No.39 like, something that is noble, that follows in its train as the necessary results of a benevolent and protective institution. As the order grows numerically it should grow in favor. Nothing can be stronger than its weakest point. Though growing strong in numbers, conformity of growth is our special desire. The world at large is looking upon the Elks and the question is asked what is the order and is answering by people who don't know. Some say the are sort of good fellows. Well, that part is alright too, but there is something yet. Now, I dare say our organization is not a religious one and does not prepare souls for heaven, but I will say we do furnish them the necessary means to get there. I don't mean to say our order is the highway to heaven, but I will say it is o be the sign-post at the heavenly cross roads which to the wayfairing Elks reads: turn to the right and keep straight on. I have never yet seen the Elk whose breast did not swell with pride on being asked the question: "Do you believe in the existence of a supreme Being," and he never fails to answer yes THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The Elks may go a long way around, getting to heaven, but the further he goes the further he gets away from hell. We are loyal to our church, loyal to our country, loyal to our God. On our alter in full view of every member who attends our weekly meetings sees a very beautiful bible and beneath its sacred volume is spread the flag of our country and had I the tongue of some men or of angles I would take from the pages of that book a word of warning and with a thrill of solemnity, proclaim it to all who reads these few words. But knowing my inability to properly handle the subject as it ought to be I realize I could not impress you as I desire so I will continue by defending the principles of Elkdom and at the same time weep with those who weep Now with a few exceptions admirably is the great work going on and proud am I to be able to commend it. The order is young to us, but step by step we feel our way and move slowly but with assured tread. The features most pertinent to the vitality of the order which were considered at the last grand meeting of the Grand Lodge held in Atlantic City, N. J. are so essential to our vigor that at the risk of appearing somewhat trite the Grand Exalted desires me to advert to a few of them. None of these perhaps is of greater importance than the subject of social sessions. In would be almost impossible to conceive of a fully developed lodge of Elks in the social season with this an unknown feature. While not the lodge itself, it is an adjunct so vivifying that in nearly every case the standing of the lodge may be judged most accurately from the character of its social sessions. The ladies give to the Lodge the qualities of power, enthusiasm and perpetuity. By them the community is enable o become more familiar with our cardinal principles and to gauge the measures of good we accomplish and the genuineness and potency of the fraternalism which we proclaim. The social session can be made the more elevating and that is what it should always be. All vulgarity, all that is jarring to the most finely developed feelings and true manhood should be vigilantly excluded as one would shut out the germs of a pestilence or aught else that is offensive. These occasions should be made the vehicle, not only for augmentating interest in the Lodge; for the cementing of Brotherhood and the exhibition to the world of the beauties and virtues of the order of Elks. But they should also be made the means of incieing in the hearts of the wives, sisters and daughters of members a keener appreciation of the protection and benefits which a fraternal host, such as ours affords to each one. I can say without fear of contradiction that no order, no society, no organization of ancient or modern times has so fully or rationally recognized the social element in man as has the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Nor is there an organization in existence or recorded in the past that has evoked so cordially the cooperation of women in all its social relations. We have merited their endorsement and have received their support and sympathy with our broad humanitarian platform of fraternalism, of help to all and malice to none. Woman the crowning grace of creation has not been forgotten; indeed so far from being forgotten our most earnect efforts have been directed towards making the completeness an adaptability of her position of the social schemes as perfect and enjoyable as possible. Our success in this line has been most gratifying and we have the pleasure of knowing that our efforts have been appreciated and are not only attended with benificent results, but that they have produced a reciprocity of feeling on the part of every member of the gentler sex who has been brought in contact with the [Name] JAMES F. CLARK practical workings of Elkdom, and I am glad to say we are now prepared to connect a Ladies' Department to our Lodge at a price within the reach of every lady who desires to connect herself with this noble order. I earnestly ask all ladies that are interested in the same write me for information. Yours respectfully, W. A. RICE. Box 731 Box 731 Drink Fills Asylum.

PAPER NAPKINS IN THOUSAND8 Made in This Country in Great Numbers and of Fine Appearance. Up to within ten years all of the many millions of paper napkins annually consumed in the United States were imported from Japan or China, but now a large proportion of them are made here. This proportion is constantly increasing, and now American paper napkins are exported to Europe. Some of the napkins produced in this country are printed with designs Japanese in character, but the great bulk are original in every way. They include napkins printed with various flowers, which are reproduced with fidelity to nature, both in drawing and in color, and which are also in many cases arranged with most artistic effect upon the paper. And then there are napkins with reproductions in color of playing cards, and others with the flags of various nations. And then there are napkins upon which are printed yacht flags, and napkins printed with music, and napkins with other designs. There are still other napkins that are plain white, without ornamentation; and then there are napkins printed with some simple design in one or two colors, and there are napkins with a pattern embossed, and napkins with a border printed with a pattern in gold or in silver; and gold and silver are used also on some of the napkins printed in colors to enhance the decorative effect. These napkins are, in short, produced in scores of styles, many of which are artistic. In fact, to anybody who had never seen one, the sample book of an American manufacturer of paper napkins would be a surprise. Some American napkins are sold for less than any imported, while some of the finest cost more. There is, for example, an American napkin of tissue paper and printed with two colors that is sold at wholesale for as little as 30 cents a thousand. This napkin is printed from continuous rolls of paper on presses similar in operation to the fast presses on which American newspapers are printed. New York Sun. "Summum Bonum." "Shield us, O Power Supernall!" Thus we cry. The mighty forces in its hand o'erwhelm, And puny strength of mortal may not stay, A moment or an ell, the rushing tide That can efface hope, effort—like itself. We need all strength there is from life to gain; We need each hour to view the topmost round Of our endeavor—to know that falterers Oftener fall than they whose every strength Is lavishly outpoured. Then let Us, dauntless, yield ourselves to contests that Arouse the sleeping energy locked in The inmost soul, but which we only find As we encounter threatening forms—failure. Ruin—which we may turn to victories. To see, to feel, that chiefest blessings flow From supreme effort; that in our resolves. And in resolves again, there lies concealed The prize most valuable of man's desire—This is the wisdom that surpasses all; But only in the road which virtue's acts Do pave shall good endure. In that wide realm where lie the acts of man. Each gift of nature or of circumstance Means more for him to do who so receives. Think not there is a bounty that shall shield From labor and the soul's commands, except At sacrifice of that which noblest is. Perhaps the hardest lot is that of one Who stands relieved of homeliest wants, and so and so Escapes the discipline of weariness, Of efforts that appear without requite, But who must seek, of his own will, results That honor him as man. —Success of December, 1901.

Dr. Howard, an American Physician, Has Left a Vivid Picture of the Cruelties Practiced on the Unhappy Inmates of the Emperor's Prisons. Russia is rejoicing over the recent manifesto of the czar granting amnesties and decreeing certain benefactions for the oppressed people. But more than all it rejoices that corporal punishment has been abolished. To the average American reader the euphemistic term "corporal punishment" is practically devoid of meaning. But replace the sugared phrase with the word "knout" and a thing at once horrible and revolting fashions itself in the mind's eye. The knout is a whip of three thongs or tails, the end of each thong being fashioned into a knot, and not infrequently, particularly when the weapon was to be used on hardened criminals, the knot was partly composed of a leaden ball. With scourges of this terrible kind Russian peasants, soldiers, officials, suspected offenders, and even persons in high places have been whipped. A little over two years ago the Appletons published a book entitled, "Prisoners of Russia." It was written by the late Dr. Benjamin Howard. In the following manner Dr. Howard vividly pen-pictured the terrible knoutin operation: "Being divested of his manacles by the guard, the man laid himself full length upon the kabyla, as directed, face downward. By straps passed through perforations in the table, he was immovably secured to it by the ankles, legs, chest and arms. About eight paces in front of the kabyla stood, from right to left, the corporal's guard, the governor, the civil surgeon and myself. Close beside the culprit, on the left, stood a subordinate official, known as 'the marker,' with a large memorandum book in his hand. "All being prepared, the executioner entered and tried the knout in the air, carefully measuring his stroke. Before the command to begin was fairly out of the governor's mouth it was drowned by the shrieks and yells of the culprit. I quickly began to appreciate what had appeared to me mere ostentatiousness in the preliminary stroke practice. For, having once been started, the executioner's strokes were as steady, as rhythmical, as precise as if done by a steam engine, and as unrelenting. Such was the precision of them that at the end of the fifth stroke there were exactly fifteen lines on the culprit's back, scoring as evenly as if they had been marked with a piece of chalk. "The force of the blows so completely expelled the blood from the surface that with chalk the lines could not be made whiter. By the wrist maneuver the blows were applied with such carefully graded force that at the end of the first stage the part already attacked looked as if covered with an even sheet of white paper. There was not a drop of blood. "The second stage commenced as the blood began to flow, and as this proceeded more and more freely the victim appeared to revive and to come to life again. As a spectacle, this was the most horrible part of the punishment, though for the victim it was much less painful. At every blow each of the three knotted thongs, like the claws and beak of a vulture, pecked out fragments of dripping flesh, which were scattered in all dis THE WALDORF CLUB. A. B. Rollins, Propr.

To avoid them the officers, who were in white uniforms, and myself, had to step back and back for a considerable distance. "After the skin of the side attacked had been completely detached and scattered the screams of the poor wretch subsided into groans and sobs. The excavation, now about the size and depth of a soup plate, being filled with overflowing blood, which poured over the edge of the table, the force of the executioner's blows was much deadened. The deeper and deeper the plowing the less and the less was the pain." Dr. Howard said that there was a halt after the fiftieth lash, and that the physicians examined the victim. Finding that his life was not in peril the punishment then went on, in a sickening way, until ninety-nine lashes had been administered. It appears that the hundredth swing of the dreadful scourge always is omitted as an evidence of the czar's clemency. Such is the hideous "corporal punishment" that Nicholas II. imperiously declares to be a thing of the past in his empire of the north. Thomas Lawson an Ideal Husband Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston copper king, is among the most devoted of husbands, his pet name for Mrs. Lawson being "Gypsy." Recently he had a watch chain made of thirty three gold beads, each hand carved to represent a gypsy girl's head. This is attached to a watch having within its case four pictures of his wife, each in gypsy costume. The watch and chain represent a total expense of $40,000. Panama Company Troubles.

Canfield, librarian of Columbia University, has just received a valuable addition to the collection of Americana, says the New York Sun. It is a translation of Cicero's "Cato Major; or, De Senectute." The book was printed by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1874. It bears the autograph of Thomas Heyward, Jr., one of the South Carolina signers of the Declaration of Independence, and it was written by James Logan, chief justice of the Province of Pennsylvania, in the early part of the eighteenth century. In the opinion of Franklin, the book is the earliest translation of a classic in the Western Hemisphere. The volume opens with an introduction by Franklin, entitled "The Printer to the Reader." An Obliging Youth. "How did you lose your arm, young man?" asked the inquisitive person. "Oh," answered the one-armed youth, "the loss was due to my obliging disposition."

The most inspiring floricultural idea of the last quarter of a century is the naturalizing of flowers by the thousand in situations where they need absolutely no care after planting, says Country Life in America. It is the easiest kind of gardening, for there is no weeding, watering, hoeing, staking or tying. It is the most artistic form of gardening, because the flowers fit perfectly into the landscape. It is the most effective kind of gardening, because nothing can surpass in beauty a continuous sheet of flowers all of the same variety. (No matter how numerous they may be, these wildlings never seem gaudy or vulgar.) And, finally, it is the least expensive way of getting hosts of flowers—flowers like the stars of the Milky Way in multitude. A thousand narcissus bulbs!

Only Survivors of the Minstrels of the Middle Ages. The only survivor of the true bard is to be found in darkest Africa. Exactly like the ancient bards of the north, they wander through the land, singing songs in praise of chiefs. Most of them are subject to some particular native chief, whose praises they sing at all times. Often the songs are composed by the wise ruler himself, who thus makes certain of getting a satisfactory brand of praise. When a stranger visits the country of such a chief, a bard is always told off to accompany him as a sign of great honor. But as the bard misses no opportunity to sing songs about the chief, the pleasure is one-sided. The bards are paid handsomely, but they are not viewed with real respect. The warriors rather look down or them and force them to act as spies by sending them abroad to find out things about other tribes. However, the bards are feared if they are not respected, because they have the uncomfortable habit of taking back everything that they have sung about a chief or his village if they are offended. In such an event they go to other villages and sing songs exposing all the weaknesses of the people who have displeased them Little One Knew Her Rights. One of the Tribune's Fresh Air children of the last week had quite an exciting experience while at Binghamton, N. Y. She was playing in a field near where she was staying. A lamb was tethered in the same field and as the child had never seen one in her life, it was naturally an object of great interest to her. The lamb was lonesome and kept up a continual bleating. Exasperated at last by its incessant wails, the little girl, stamping her foot, said: "You can tell your ma-a and your pa-a and your whole fambly I've got just as good right here as you. The woman what brought me said I could play here, and I'm goin' to stay; so there!" The woman who was entertaining the child overheard York Tribune. Mrs. Tom Thumb Still Alive.

She had a regular turn in a Midget theater at Coney Island and is driven home each evening in the identical coach presented to Tom Thumb in 1884 by King Edward, then Prince of Wales. She is very religious and a member of the Actors' Church alliance and of the Woman's Aid society. She is also a Daughter of the American Revolution. The famous wedding of Tom Thumb was celebrated in Grace church, New York, in 1864, and the photograph of "The Fairy Wedding Group" is doubtless still cherished in hundreds of plusb albums or parlor center tables.

The innkeeper, with many smiles and bows, ushered his guest out and then hastened back to gather up his gold. His rage and consternation when he discovered the fraud knew no bounds, until a wealthy English traveler, recognizing the value of the art put in the work, gladly paid him $50 for the table.—Stray Stories. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` C. WOOD, Cashier IN AN EARTHQUAKE. IN AN EARTHQUAKE. PANIC UNCONTROLLABLE FOLLOWED EARTH'S THRILL. Citizens of Wellington, Australia, Young and Old, Portly and Slim, Allike Showed Fondness for the Open Air When Buildings Rocked. Citizens of Wellington, New Zealand, had some interesting experiences on the occasion of their earthquake on the morning of Aug. 9. A Wellington paper describes the quake and ensuing excitement as follows: "There came a little thrill that trickled up and down one's spine. Then another little thrill and a shiver, and a shake that gradually developed into a rattle. It was an earthquake; but for a few seconds nobody was much alarmed. Suddenly the tremor changed to a convulsion and a vigorous rocking that rattled everybody's teeth in his head and urged the inmates of shops, offices, hotels and houses generally to seek the open air with great velocity. With almost complete unanimity those indoors broke for the staircases and exits, and sedate seniors and stout citizens who never ran before displayed wonderful dash in whirling themselves into the streets at a pace that would have done credit to a professional sprinter. "In less than five seconds the footpaths were crowded with startled citizens; clerks with pens behind their ears, shop girls hatless and disheveled, portly citizens blown and painting with the effort of covering twenty yards in a fifth of a second, and nearly everybody who was able to move at all. Work was forgotten at the bidding of the earthquake shock, hardened topers left their glasses unfinished and rushed out of the bars, and for some time the streets were thick with bareheaded people excitedly explaining to strangers their sensations and their amazement at the unsuspected agility they had displayed. It was some time before people made up their minds that the 'shake' was a solo performance, and not merely the prelude to a subterranean symphony. The girls from the factories, in particular, could not be persuaded to return to their work. "Wellington's tall buildings waved considerably. A man high up on the face of one of them cleaning windows held on tight and received a cheer from the crowd—after the panic was over. Men working on telegraph poles also 'stuck to their posts'—having no alternative. The shock affected people in different ways. In several of the dry goods stores some of the girls collapsed, their limbs refusing to support them; others fainted, and others became hysterical. One leading business man who is not unknown in shipping circles, found his legs refused to support him, though he had a great desire to reach the open air. 'Keep cool—keep cool!' was the advice given by a head clerk to his staff in one important office, and all the while he was trembling like one with the ague." MADE RICH BY LUCKY FIND. One of Many Remarkable Gold Discoveries in New Zealand. One of the most remarkable gold discoveries of which there is any record in New Zealand has been made in the Moklhinui district by Albert Winter, the son of a billposter in North THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Shields, England. The discovery was made in a remarkable way. Mr. Winter stooped at the edge of a creek to pick up a piece of stone to throw at a woodhen and in doing so he noticed that the stone was gold-bearing quartz. Promptly he returned to the town, took out his miner's rights and with his mate pegged off claims on the ground, and subsequently sold out his interest for £75,000. Albert Winter, who is thirty years of age, left South Shields nearly four years ago as a stoker on the steamer Ilford. Some months later the ship arrived at Melbourne and Winter left her there. For some time afterward his family knew nothing of his whereabouts, but a short time ago they received a letter from him. The letter was writter from Grannity Creek, near West Port, New Zealand, and at that time apparently he was working at the mines. That presumably was before he made his rare stroke of luck. This is one of the biggest gold finds ever made in New Zealand. Mr. Winter is now on his way home. Tunnel Under the Thames. It will require five years to construct the Ratcliff-Rotherhithe tunnel now being built under the Thames. Its length will be 6,883 feet, with an external diameter of thirty feet, which will allow a carriageway of sixteen feet and two footways of four feet eight and one-half inches wide. When it is finished there will be three tunnels under the Thames at London. GOPHERS USED THEIR NITS. Evolved Clever Scheme by Which They Got the Bread. An Arizona friend of mine lately told me this interesting incident about the gophers that infested his cabin when he was a miner. The gophers ate up his bread. He could not hide it from them nor put it beyond their reach. Finally he betthought him to stick his loaf on the end of a long iron poker that he had and then stand up the poker in the middle of his floor. Still when he came back to his cabin he would find his loaf eaten full of holes. One day, having nothing to do, he concluded to watch and see how the gophers reached the bread, and this was what he saw: The animals climbed up the side of his log cabin, ran along one of the logs to a point opposite the bread, and then sprang out sidewise toward the loaf, which each one struck, but upon which only one seemed able to to effect a lodgement. Then this one would cling to the loaf and act as a stop to his fellows when they tried a second time, his body affording them the barrier they required. My friend felt sure that this leader deliberately and consciously aided the others in securing a footing on the loaf.—Outing. His Sixth Sense. "Biffler dines out a good deal, doesn't he?"

An aged Baltimorean, a classmate of Senator Hoar's at Harvard, was talking about the distinguished statesman. "One day, when Senator Hoar's health had just begun to be feeble," he said, "he and I fell into a discussion of our various aches and weaknesses. "The spectacle of two old men complaining together in this way had its humorous side, and Senator Hoar was always quick to see humor. Interrupting me in a description of a chronic rheumatic trouble, he said: "Howard, you and I, going on like this, remind me of Lord Chesterfield and Lord Tyrawley. They both, in their old age, were feeble, but they both put the best foot forward; they carried themselves as well as we do. One day, though, meeting somewhere, they began to recount their ills and infirmities. While they were talking, a younger man joined them; thereupon they changed the subject at once, and in explanation of the change Lord Chesterfield said, smiling quietly: "' "Tyrawley and I have been dead these two years, sir, but we don't choose to have it known."' "Cut It Down to a Stick." Congressman Stephenson told this one: Willie Stinson, while editor of a paper at Ashland, Wis., fell in love with the pretty stepdaughter of the publisher. The old man tried in vain to get rid of Stinson, and finally discharged him. Stinson went to Milwaukee and worked there for about three months. The young woman explained to all friends that the engagement was dissolved. Finally Stinson went back to Ashland by a country road on horseback. He drove to the Congregational church, where the pretty stepdaughter of the publisher met him. She was surrounded by numerous girl friends. Stinson had been recognized by several people as he rode to the church, and he was in a hurry to have the ceremony performed. "Do you want the complete service?" inquired the minister. "Cut it down to a stick," replied Stinson in printers' English. The preacher was amazed, but he understood, and soon the knot was tied. New York Tribune. Old Lady Was Surprised. In the great Boston public library there stands on a pedestal in a corner of Bates hall, the main reading room, a bust in very dark bronze of Oliver Wendell Holmes, the patron saint of Boston. As Lindsay Swift, the assistant librarian, was walking about keeping an eye over his charges the other day he saw two old ladies who were wandering about the building approach the shrine, and to his astonishment and horror overheard the following words as both the good dames critically examined the likeness: 'Why, I never knew,' remarked one to the other, drawing back a little, "that Dr. Holmes was a negro!"— New York Times.

Statistics that speak with the authority of complete knowledge point to the existence to-day of a good supply of ready capital among the rank and file of America's eighty millions of inhabitants, for not in many years has life insurance business been so active as now. This branch of industry serves as a barometer, as money placed in this direction is usually classified under the "luxury" list. Two men in this country are now insured for more than a million and a half each, one for a million, eight for three-quarters of a million, and twenty-seven men carry individual policies of half a million.

In many of the baskets of the red man-or, rather, the red woman-appear geometrical figures, the production of which requires correct enumeration of the minute stitches or weaves of the pattern, and so great are the varieties of figures, or parts of figures, each requiring a different enumeration and involving different numbers, that none but accomplished mathematicians could perform the work. Medicine of Long Ago. Andrew Wilson, the well-known naturalist and writer, in commenting on Culpepper's "Complet Method," published in 1652, shows how this enabled a man to "cure himself, being sick, for threepence charge, with such things only as grow in England, they being most fit for English bodies." "John Wesley practiced physic," Wilson continues. "His system was not strictly limited to vegetable simples. Wesley prescribed boiled carrots as an exclusive diet for a fortnight for the cure of asthma, and recommended bald-headed people to wash their vacant spots with a decoction of boxwood. For bleeding from the lungs or stomach the juice of nettles is ordered and for an ague six pills of middling-size of cobwebs." Upon Her Lips. Upon her lips a kiss there lies; One kiss at least; perchance a hundred! The question's, How secure the prize? Should it be begged, or deftly plundered? Twould mean so much to me, so much! While to its owner fair, I wis, it Is neither needful staff nor crutch, If filched she might not ever miss it. There lies a kiss upon her lips, What else about her mouth should tempt me? Since bees from blooms take nectar of slips, Should hope indulged by man prove empty? Beneath this one a score may wait! Release—be praying now I'll kiss it From off the top. I'll chance it, Fate! I wonder will she ever miss it? —Roy Farrell Greene. Bulgarian Embroidery. The popular "Bulgarian embroidery" originated in Constantinople. During the "Bulgarian atrocities" and the Russo-Turkish war many thousands of Bulgarian women were torn from their homes and made prisoners in the harems of Constantinople. They were clever embroiderers, but they knew nothing of drawnwork until the Turkish women taught them. Then they combined the two arts, making a drawnwork foundation for their embroidery and thus obtaining much better effects.

To Insure Return of Presents. Within the past few weeks several cases have come before Justice Bau- der in Cleveland involving attempts by rejected suitors to get their presents back. Become tired of this kind of litigation, his honor suggests that when Cleveland swains make presents to maidens the following contract should be agreed to: “It is hereby agreed that this —— (here the words bouquet, hat, diamond ring or souve- nir spoon may be inserted) is for use only during the period of courtship. It is hereby agreed that said (bouquet, hat, etc.) shall be returned at once upon day of snub, if any. Engagement to another man to be considered as snub.” Dangerous Cases. “What became of the brilliant young lawyer?” “He fell by the wayside. Too many cases.” “But I didn’t think a lawyer could have too many cases?” “Yes—cases of champagne.” Black 2207. Phone us your news. Phone us your printing orders. Not in His Line. “I don't know what is the matter with me, doctor,” said the parson. “I can't lie on either side.” “Of course, not, parson,” replied the pill dispenser. “Only a lawyer can do that.” His Cynical Theory. “Father,” said the small boy, “why do they call a speech made at a ban- quet a toast?” “My son,” was the answer, “it i: probably because they are so dry.” In $902, amid a world of enthusiasm and bursts of ap- plause, The Lincoln Banquet Association, which met in East Turner Hall, committed itself to the project cf building a hall. Any observer would have considered that this undertaking so auspiciously begun would be certain of suceess and would have looked forward to a hall in another year or two at most. Alas! for such thoughts. The fourth anniversary is here. Subsequent meetings have brought no more results. The matter has ceased to be talked about. To criticise the members of the association in- discriminately would be unfair for the moving spirits at that time were probably sincere and would have done their part. But of those who cheered, how many honestly intended to do something? The man who talks race pride and does not do something for it, among a people who are as prone as we to overestimate our strength, 1s a positive detriment. He raises hopes only to disappoint them, It does not help the facts that he means well. A dollar in money goes further toward actual achievement than all the well wishes. The man who has not the thrift or intelligence to save can do no good by holding the center of the stage. Ifhe seeks example and encouragement he is welcome to any gathering but Denver is afflicted with too many men of mouth and no money. BY THE CRUSTY BACHELOR.

Dr. Burrell tells this story: One of the members of his congregation has a bright little daughter aged four. One cold Sunday morning last winter she stood at the window watching the throngs of people (the ladies wrapped in furs) on their way to church. Turning to her mother, she said: "Mamma, I wisht I was old enough to be a Christian and go to church." "Why?" inquired the mother, pleased at this plous wish. "So's I could have a muff an' boa," replied the angel child.—New York Times. ICK TOMORROW VE NOW ickness and accident during the LIFE & ACCIDENT CO. Colorado Building Healthy Occupation.

Germany's public debt amounts to $750,000,0€0; the interest on this is more than $35,000,000 a year Gave Up All for Religion. Ali Kuli Khan, a Persian nobleman, who has given up lands, title, family and position, is now living in Boston in obscurity because he regards his religion as more important than any of the temporalities he is relinquishing. His father was ordered executed for becoming a Babist, than which no religion is more feared by the Mohammedan clergy of Persia, but owing to the influence of his uncle, who was prime minister of the late shah, the order was commuted. Ali is at work translating into English the works of the Babist writers at the request of American converts to the faith. Suggestion for Liquor Drinkers. Rev. Madison C. Peters of New York suggests this as an improvement on Bishop Potter's subway saloon: "A gallon of whisky costs $3, and contains sixty-five 15-cent drinks. Now, if men must drink, let them buy it by the gallon and make their wives, sisters or mothers the barkeepers. Pay them for the drink, and when the gallon is gone they will have a net profit of $6.75 on every gallon. Let that money be put away and when the drinkers have become drunkards their wives, mothers and sisters will have money to keep them from want." Senator Scott's Last Campaign Senator Scott of West Virginia, says that this is his last national campaign. With the death of Frederick S. Gibbs and Henry C. Payne he has lost all of his old associates in national committee work, and he feels that it is time for him to step aside and let younger men take up the party burden. Legal Costs Are High. In opening a new pier at Menaf Bridge, a Walsh watering place, Mr. Lloyd-George said that of the $70,000 the pier had cost, $12,500 had gone in legal expenses. Before a local authority could go to Parliament, lawyers had to be engaged, "and," he added, "then heaven help the local authorities." Not a Quiet Talker. "Is your wife talkative still?" asked the man who had been away for three years. "Well," answered the patient and long-suffering husband, "she's still talkative." He—Don't you think you could learn to love me? She—I doubt if you have enough money to pay for my education.—Boston Globe. Then He Went to Bed. "Poor old Prof. Thinkard went home the other night, and he knew there was something he wanted to do, but he couldn't think what it was." true Enough.
