CUPID FINALLY SMILES ON MINISTER COREA All a Southern Bride. The luck of Senator Luis F. Corea, Nicaraguan minister to the United States, has finally brought him a bride. This is all that lacked to complete his success in Washington. Since the time he came here as representative and protege of President Zelaya, he has enjoyed the most amazing good fortune. The president of the United States and John Hay, secretary of state, no doubt for good reasons, made a favorite of him, that is in as far as it was proper for them to do without giving offense to other members of the diplomatic corps. Nobody, won by his handsome face, courtly bearing and romantic manners, idolized him, and steadfastly declined to believe ill things that were persistently whispered of him shortly after his arrival in Washington. He suffered only one rebuft, that was when the handsome Georgia widow, formerly Mrs. Ilah Dunlau Jordan, now Mrs. John D. Little, broke off her engagement with him, partly because of the persistent rumor that he had negro blood in his veins. As a true Southerner, she was credited with fearing that where such a doubt existed she could not be happy with the corea and hence gave him up, though it is known that where such a doubt occurred at the time, for the swarthy minister had won his way deeply into her affections. This incident would have ended the career of the majority of diplomats, and for a time seemed destined to put a period to Corea's Washington march of triumph, but in the end he remained at his post, and society, continued to pet him, and now that he has got an heirress for a bride, even the memory of the Jordan incident has been pretty well wiped out. As if to add balm to the wounded feelings of the suitor who was rejected by a Southern girl, she who became the bride of Corea on Feb. 27, is her daughter of the South Miss India Bell Fleming, whose father, Col. Robert I. Fleming, was a gulant soldier in the Confederate army. Miss Fleming is a debatute of this season, and is wealthy in her own right. Thus abandoned by one Southern woman, Corea got another wife, which clearly indicates that he must have conclusively proved his pure Caucasian blood. It must be said of the Nicaraguan that in the Jordan incident he acted very creditably. She was the daughter of a wealthy Georgian, and the man she married was a millionaire. He did not long survive, and Mrs. Jordan, beautiful and immensely wealthy, came to Washington just at the time that Senior Corea was on the top crest or nos pouchier. The first it was in: in evidence that he was in love with the young widow, and when it came apparent that she preferred his company to that of any other of her distinguished suitors. Washington approved, for such a match seemed entirely fitting. A good part of the courtship took place in Paris. In fact the wedding preparations had gone to a point that in the French capital she bought a good part of her dressman. In return she took to Mont from Europe. Mrs. Jordon freely her coming marriage, and nothing seemed to commence the happiness in store for the minister. Just at this time came the thrilling MISS INDIA BELL FLEMING, Who Has Just Married Senior Corea —For They Shall Inherit the Earth. Fashionable Bishop (to equally fashionable layman)—How can people ask, does Christianity pay? Look at St. Smug's, for instance. Ten years ago that property cost only $50,000 and yesterday it sold for half a million.—Puck. They Try, Though. The inability of some people to put themselves in another's place may frequently be seen in a crowded street car. broke off the match. An anonymous letter sent to the mayor of Macon made a number uncomplimentary charges against Corea, including one to the effect that he was in part a negro. There was no proof for the allegation, and when Macon's mayor and three other citizens called on Mrs. Jordan to lay the facts before her, and protest against a daughter of Georgia taking a chance on allying herself with a man who had negro blood in his veins, Mrs. Jordan stood up loyalty for her fiance. Her answer was to send a wire to Washington telling Corea to go ahead with the marriage preparations. In this crisis Corea acted very manfully. There is no doubt that at this time he might have married Mrs. Jordan, for she doubted the accusations, including a new one that he had a family in Nicaragua and to prove her sympathy would have been loyal even to the point of consummating the wedding. But Corea insisted that as long as any doubt remained, it was not fair to have her future tied, up with his. He demanded an investigation, and was taken at his word. He had been sent to Nicaragua, and made their report, a member of the Jordan family made a public statement which exonerated Corta. Now there was no obstacle, at least none that the public knew of, but in the meantime Mrs. Jordan had "changed her mind." Perhaps the reappearance of a sweetheart of her youthful days, gallant Capt. John D. Little of Georgia, formerly speaker of the house in his state, and more than a possibility for governor, had something to do with the change of heart. MRS. JOHN D. LITTLE, Formerly Mrs. Ilian D. Jordan. At any rate Mrs. Jordan was soon so completely immersed in this new romance that poor Corea went under an eclipse, and eventually the engagement was broken off, although to the finish Mrs. Jordan insisted that he had coded as a man of honor and he was, nothing in his private or public life, in his ancestry and his standing at home and abroad that disqualified him as a suitor for any honorable woman. She married Capt. Little, much to the delight of Georgia, and Corea, disconsolate, saw her no more. But the minister did not give up his place in Washington, instead he became a still more prominent figure socially. John Hay and President Roosevelt seemed to make special efforts to show the minister that they believed nothing of the many discrediting things that had been said against him. At every public function, at every dance, at all gatherings of the diplomats, there was Corea, irreproachable as to attire, perfect in manners, graceful, polite, yet dignified and scornfully indifferent to whispered remarks about the rupture of his relations with Mrs. Jordan. His bearing was that of a man who felt that the incident reflected no discredit on him, and who was determined to maintain his place. Then Miss Fleming entered society as a student. She was a debutante, one of the most beautiful of the season. She also had a romance. It was said that while a school girl, years before a girl is supposed to give herself up to contemplation of the sentimental side of life, "I can give you a bed and bath for 15 cents," said the lodging house clerk. "De price ain't no object," rejoined the husky hobo who had just found a $2 bill. "Jist gimme a bed widout de bath, an'付 de difference." Delicate Compliment. "We made a big hit in Salt Lake." "How was that?" "Our company got out some extra printing and billed us as singing 'The Chimes of Mormandy.'" THE APPEAL. she had become engaged to wed an army officer. Perhaps it was true, perhaps not, but if the former, certainly the sentiment did not long survive after Miss Fleming met the swarthy diplomat from Washington. All that had been in both their hearts was instantly swallowed up in an attachment that brooked no opposition. It can be learned, none has been urged. The popularity of Corea at the state department and the White House is taken to mean that he was the victim of an injustice. Miss Fleming ignores all that has been said against him, and married him in the capital, among those who saw him turned down in the Jordan episode. It is not believed that Corea will remain in Washington much longer. It is said that the president of the Nicaraguan republic, who is his warm personal friend has in contemplation for a European peace of diplomatic work of first importance. Corea and his bride will perhaps welcome this change, for it will take HOW A SHORT GIRL MAY LOOK TALLER A French figure molder stood in front of a lay figure.

"You will have to go a long way," said an art collection the other day, "before you nd a body of men more clever than those cabinet makers who produce goods to satisfy the desire of the public for furniture made of old and fancy woods. They can transform white wood into all kinds of exotic woods by means of chemicals, and a chemist would be surprised if he were to have the run of one of those factories for a day. "The manufacture of antique oak is one of the easiest of their processes. The boards, moldings panels or whatever pieces are required are made of oak which has just had time to dry sufficiently to prevent excessive warping. "They are then placed in a dark room on the floor of which and quite close to the furniture to be 'aged' are placed several bowls, plates and so forth of liquid ammonia. The room is then hermetically closed up and the wood is left for a month or so, according to the age which is required. The coloration will extend to a depth of nearly a quarter of an inch if the room is kept closed for a few months. "That is why there is so much old oak furniture.

"You see," she added, "I am considered an expert at my business, and every day very exclusive dressmakers come to me for hints. They want to know how to make their customers look tall. Frequently they bring lay figures to me to be dressed in a statuesque way. I understand the art of even making a lay figure look tall. There is a furre now among girls, American girls especially, to look tall. Even the French woman, who has hitherto been content to look chic, is anxious to look higher than she is. "This opens up a new field for the artistic woman; and I fell into it immediately. My special mission is to make a woman look a great deal taller than she really is. In some cases this is very difficult; in others it is very easy. "There are women who naturally look short. They are tall enough, but they are so fat that they look little. There is no making them look anything but dummy. The only thing in their case is to reduce the weight. I am doing this because I am increasing their height. I have a dozen of these a day. They are fat and dummy, looking, and they come to me clamoring to look tall and stylist. "Reduce your weight," is about all I can say to them. But I manage to do so in a very diplomatic way, so that they depart thinking they are very nearly perfection just as they are. "The girl who is too short must get thin. Thin people always look taller than they really are. As a rule the slender girl longs to be fat. But the minute she is fat she will look shorter. So she better keep thin and tall looking. "But there are girls who are so short that they look little in spite of being thin. No matter how slender, they still look little. To these girls there are words of good advice. "Don't, if you are short, wear tight-fitting clothing. The little short thin woman who puts on skin-tight dresses will look weaken. She will look shrived up. She will look old. For she will have that curiously dried up appearance which belongs to the aged. "Dress your shoulders broad if you are little. It adds somehow to your height. No one can tell why it is, but the broad shouldered girl always looks taller than she really is. That is the girl who is the widest face of the Gibson girl. She is broad shouldered, and it adds a foot to her height. "Shoulder puffs, fat sleeves and all sorts of devices for increasing the breadth of the shoulders, were invented, not for the fat girl, but for the short girl. They are becoming and the modifies cling to them. "The short girl can also make her self look taller by wearing long skirts. These increase the apparent height and make the short girl graceful. They are immensely becoming. Put a short girl in a trained gown and she will immeiately take on height and dignity. "The short girl may wear stripes running lengthwise and she may wear the princess dress, and she can, if she so desires, get herself up in trimmings and stuffs that run from head to foot. All of these will make her look a little taller. But she should not overdo the matter. The short girl should never be conspicuous in dress nor should she wear many skirts. They make her look more stylish." "But there are other things beside dress to make the short girl look tall. And one of these is her coiffeur. The short woman should dress her hair as high as possible, and, if necessary, add a tail comb to make it still higher. Of course she will avoid being grotesque, but she will carry the hair dressing as far as possible without going to extremes. "There is a certain short girl in solemce. She wears high heels, but not high enough to make her look awkward. She dresses in tan colored gowns and in grey and gray everything to make her look larger than she really is, for she does not weigh 100 pounds. Her skirts are striped and flowered, checked and plaided. The girl's hair is always coiffed high. And on top of the high coif she wears a hat well fitted at one side and trimmed with a rather high plume. No one suspects of her being the shortest girl in the four hundred. "But there are other ways of making a girl look tall. One of these is by making her muscles supple. The girl who carries herself slowly and stiffly, who walks on hard ground, who moves as though she were in a vise, will always look short.—provided she is naturally short." "But the short girl whose muscles are supple, the short girl who can move lightly and gracefully, the short girl who understands how to bend and bow, and who can go through a room easily and without consciousness, this is the girl who looks taller and more stylish than she really is. "Short girl are usually very self-conscious. They imagine that every one is looking at them. They see that they are annoying that they are objects of interest to all: Really no one notices a girl who is very short. But it is hard to convince the short girl of this. She thinks the whole world is watching her. It is a case of morbid self-consciousness. "Let the short girl make herself graceful; let her exercise her muscles until she moves easily; let her take off her stitches and put on heels that are moderately high; let her dress her hair tall and lengthen her skirts, and she will immediately begin to look taller. "These rules are known to every one who molds the figure feminine and they are put into practice in every establishment in Paris." ```markdown ``` THE THE ANNA HELD MAKES HERSELF LOOK TALL By Wearing an Exquisite Fitting Gown.

Ultimately Find Their Way to the Zoological Park and Become Part of Great National Collection -Jackrabbit Chase. If all the animals and birds which have been sent by admiring friends as gifts to the president and members of his family had been allowed to remain at the White House that historic old structure might easily be turned into a menagerie and the grounds surrounding it into a zoological park. All the presidents, back to Washington himself, have had gifts showered upon them, and it was not unusual for these gifts to assume the shape of a wild or domestic animal. But it was not until the present occupants came to the White House that the custom of making presents of this character began to assume extensive proportions. This, the probable, to the president's known belief of everything pertaining to natural history, and to the further fact that he is a great hunter. His bent in this direction is handed down to his children. The gifts to the White House in recent years include almost every American small animal capable of being domesticated. With few exceptions they have been sent to the zoological park, there to become a part of the great national collection. Gifts of animals from friends in foreign countries are not at all infrequent. Only recently the president received from King Menelik of Abysinia an Arabian zebra and two ostriches. These can now be seen at the zoological park, where they have attracted wide attention. The variety of American animals ranges from white rats and mice to a cinnamon cub bear. A small lion has also been received. The arrival of the opossum, raccoon, or even a cat or dog has been observed, but passing interest among the younger members of the presidential family. Probably the most commented upon animal at the White House is the house cat, Slippers. She is different from ordinary cats in that she has six toes. Slippers is now a permanent fixture in the president's household. A parrot of the Mexican double yellow head variety is a pet of which all the Roosevelt children are fond. It is an exceptionally intelligent bird, and pronounces distinctly the names of the different members of the family. It has been at the White House for several years, and was especially fond of Mrs. Longworth, when she was a girl there. Its voice, shouting "Alice," has been heard ringing through the hallways. The story of how two Kansas jackrabbits found their way to the White House is interesting. They had been brought here from the west by E. S. Schmid. One day, while being fed, they escaped from their care. A wild scramble was made to capture them by the attendants, but their training on the plains of the Sunflower state stood them well, and they left their pursurers practically at the post. Reaching G street, at Twelfth, they separated, one going east and the other west, both through busy and crowded thoroughfares. Newsboys and messenger boys joined in the exciting chase after the land for a time business in that vicinity was held at a standstill. Both animals were large specimens, and as they spread out their long limbs many thought they were young deer. One of the rabbits was captured at a distance of more than two miles. The other took refuge in the White House grounds, where it remained for several days, affording an opportunity for several hunting expeditions on the part of the Roosevelt boys. As a means of capturing this rabbit its mate was taken to the White House grounds and turned loose, and it is said both are still there. Mr. Schmidt having decided, on request of representatives of the president, not to molest them further. Recent additions to the family of pets at the White House are two Angora cats. These were left to President Roosevelt by the will of a New York woman, who also made him ex-convict. The property was turned over by the president to the woman's relatives, and, as they did not care for the Angora cats, they were given a place in the household of the first family of the land. The Roosevelt children also have as pets several guinea pigs, but it is their dogs and ponies that give them the most pleasure. One of the dogs, Skip, was presented to Archibald while he was hunting bear and other big game in the Dakotas. The other dogs are Rolla, a big St. Bernard, and Sailor Boy, a retriever. Too Much Simplified. Members of the house in Washington were amused by an exhibit of simplified simplified the other day when the river and harbor bill was under discussion. In order to illustrate the argument made in support of a 14-foot channel from this city to the gulf Mr. Bartholdt displayed before the house and had placed upon a large easel in front of the speaker's desk a map of the Mississippi river valley, upon which the draftsmans had indicated the names of cities, rivers and lakes, spelled in a manner heterogeneous until the following places: "Sixo City," "Bulow," "Pittburg," "Louisville," "Missouri river," "Mississippi river," "Soupler lake." oa Sey atluer Tre \eccrls, eee SG, aESAG al an Li ez eA. aN L LEE mH FE RN \ Bs WO aR, NI ea Jee eas Ze ees eee THE APPEAL, ‘AMATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPEE, PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY i ADAMS BROS.

As everything relating to the color line has ‘become of most absorbing interest, it may not be amiss to notice the point that a great many of the statesmen’ and others who are cutting the most fantastic capers in reference to the matter, are not _ themselves really, but only nominally, white folks, This is especially true of the South, in whieh section a large proportion of the nominally white people have an_ad- mixture of Indian blood.

In other words when southern orators and journalists indulge in so much fool gab and lying and find that it pays so well, the bitterness will exist. A SATURNALIA OF CRIME. Gordonsville, Va., has recently been ttie scene of a novel saturnalia of crime, of which the following are some details: It now appears that the men, who are seeking to evade the officers, berpetrated: many hideous crimes and terrorized the women iz several differ- ent homes. It leaked out to-day that at least two of thé young women were the victims of the assault. 5 The houses entered were those of Rev. F. A. Meade, W. A. Blakey, W. W. Scott, librarian of the Supreme Court, and Edward Davenport. In’ the latter home the two Davenport sisters were sleeping ‘together. One of them succumbed to the chloroform, but the other awakened, and the intruders made their escape. It has been shown that the assassin ation, of President McKinley was, in large measure, due to the articles pub- lished in the yeliow journals; and it is probable that the South will find that many stich Incidents will occur in her midst, as the sequelae of the incessant reports of rapes which have been pub- lished in her newspapers. In the in- stance cited above, there Is no doubt but that the villains were white men; but. if so, no dowbt but that, their crime was suggested by the many tales of rape published in the newspapers. ANOTHER RACE PROBLEM. In the gouth almost one-half of the cotton mill operatives 10 to 14 years of aze are illiterate and about one-fourth of those 15 to 20 years of age. The smeller percentage in the older group of operatives would indicate that a good many of these children learn to read and write after they are 10 y@ars of age. But the percentage of illiter acy in the older group is still very high, rendering it probable that, large numbers of these children are destin- ed to remain illiterate for the rect ot their tyes. It Is known to be a fact that more than one+half of the Southern Afro: Americans can read and write; and, ot course, it is a fair inference that approximately, about three-fourths of the children of the race are partially educated. And, furthermore, labor in the cotton-mills is destructive of the vitality of the children. Moreover, the south derives but little new blood from the process of immigration. Southern statesmen would do well to concider these facts; as they indicate a solw- tion of the race problem which they seem not to contemplate. CAUCASIAN SUPERIORITY. The Chicago Chronicle says: “That stich Specimens of the Caucasian race es San Francisco allows to govern it, specimens actually under indictment for crimes of which thelr fellow-citt zens believe them to be at least moral: iy guilty, should proclaim the inferior. ity’ of the Japanese race, may very well have added bitterness to what would in any case have been resented as an international insult.” ‘But the whole blame cannot be thrown upon the “specimens of the Caucasian Yace.” It is the conetant teaching of all of our great statesmen, savants and theologians, and the fun damental proposition of oun law mak ers that a “specimen” who har a white skin, is, ipso facto, superior to any in dividual of an off-color race. without eny reference to the moral or intellect wal qualities of either individual.

Trulock stated that several hundred dollars had been contributed to the re Mef fund by Afro-American residents of this city. Every donation from them was received unsolicited. As far as is known not one Afro-American family lived in the burned district.” After all that has been said, the Southern Afro-American seems to have some good traits, don’t he, Mr. Tillman’ LAWMAKERS DOING FINE._ ‘What our lawmakers ao when they are assembled in legislative capacity is usually well known to whom it may concern.

Curative Value of Light. The value of light as an agent in curing diseases is becoming- increas- ingly recognized. The latest develop- ment of the idea is the adsertion of a thedical man that the clothes worn by consumptives should be of. a color which will allow the light to penetrate to the body. White materials, it is found, are the best for this purpose, and consumptives are consequently advised to clothe themselves in snowy raiment ,elther of linen, velvet, cotton or cloth.

Fire Saturday night destroyed the Casino and the old buildings which for the last century had withstood the assaults of the lake winds and which marked the spot where General Jackson landed when he hastened from Tennessee in 1814 to take command of the army which was to defend the city against the English. During the Civil war the fort was garrisoned with several companies, cannon were put in place and military precautions taken to make it a great defensive barracks, but it was never used. Many of the cannon are still to be seen on the grounds, half sunk in the earth and rusting in the shadow of the trees. Fifteen years ago the Spanish fort was a select summer resort. Here the old families of New Orleans especially loved to go. The rise of Defective Page west End, however, with its new attractions and new clientele, deprived it of its pristine splendor and gradually the old fort sank from public notice into oblivion. To-day it is remembered only as one of the old landmarks and interests attach to it only by reason of its historical association. Until last week, before the fire, few went there except for a good gumbe or a crayfish bisque. Fewer still went there to study its history, for other resorts held forth more enticing recreations than did the old pile. Saturday a spark from a passing launch in Bayou St John ignited one of the old ramshackle buildings. The fire was quickly communicated to the remaining structures and lastly to the Casino, which went like a heap of straw. CIDER IN A W.ELL. Wardinsky Pumps Apple Juice Out of an Old Well. A new method of storing cider is in vogue in the apple growing section of the Big Bend country, Washington. John Wardinsky, a farmer in southern Douglas county, has a dry well on his place which he lined with cement in an approved sanitary manner. This is used as a cider cistern, says What to Eat, placing the cider in it for storage through the winter. The well is equipped with a pump. Wardinsky formerly lived in the great apple growing section of Northwest Arkansas, and says that it is not uncommon for farmers there to keep cider in this manner, where it is favored almost as much as storing it in barrels. Convenience in drawing it for use is another argument favoring the cistern method. A chemical is used to prevent the cider from acquiring too great a degree of hardness. Fishing Line for Cod. "A fishing line worth $2,000?" "Yes, sir." "I don't believe it." "It's the truth. It's a codfish line. It's one of those lines to which you owe your Sunday morning fishballs and your less appetizing but equally helpful cod liver oil. These codfish lines, you see, are frogs, eight miles long. They have 4,880 books. They'll often land 2,500 fish. No wonder they cost $2,000 eh?" Deposits of Asbestos. Rich deposits of asbestos covering hundreds of acres and containing thousands of tons of the valuable material, have been located in the mountains of Northern Luzon, Philippines. Samples examined in the bureau of science, at Manila, says the Far Eastern Review, are pronounced excellent. In quality, the deposits are on hold today. The deposits are half between silica (both valuable deposits), and the fields of asbestos are within a few miles of excellent harbors. Great Blunder Eva-I declare, Archibald is such a dune!

Good Housekeeping Gyer—That spinster aunt of mine is certainly the limit. Myer—How's that? Gyer—I presented her with a loud ticking clock recently and she sprints led the works with insect powder.

"But," protested old Gotrox, "I do not wish you for a son-in-law." Well," replied young De Short, "If that's the way you feel about it, give me a good salaried position in your office and we'll let it go at that." In the Sanctum. Poet—What do you think of this little poem, "She Would Not Smile?" Editor—I think if you had read the poem to her she would have smiled. PLANTS THAT TAKE PILLS Big as Chestnut, They Contain a Tabid Food. A very large and sturdy orange tree was growing in a small pot. "If that tree," said the florist, didn't take pills it would require a pot as big as a bathhut to grow in. But it takes pills like a hypochondriac. "Chemists, agr'cultural experts now make plant pills—pills no larger than chestnut, that contain sustenance for six months, a kind of tabid food. These chemists analyze a plant's aisle and make pills of the constituent salts. The pills, included in a metal cover, are buried in the earth at the plant's roots, and the salts gradually dissolve and diffuse through the metal, giving the plants day by day the sustenance that they require. "Pills are also applied to weekly sticky plants, which they help wonder fully." Mr. O. A. Lawrence has opened a ladies', children's and gentlemen's furnishing and shoe store at 514 Fourth Street So. Mr. Lawrence is fitting up his store in the latest style and wisely the support of THE APPEAL'S readers and of his friends of its kind in Minneapolis yet satisfaction is guaranteed.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" 80 The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Press 76 Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL Agents wanted everywhere. a || | SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN. Carving Have Been Found, ‘One of the three known examples in the United: States of the famous In- dia “sculpture” on two. of the im- mense rocks which form the “great falls” of the Connecticut river at Bel- lows Falls has been entirely obliter- ated, not a trace of the marking which recorded some important event in the history of the aborigines being left. ‘The sculpture was a favorite subject of discussion for antiquarians and de- veloped much controversy as to the manner and time in which it was made. When first, discovered it con- sisted of a group of sixteen or elgh- teen variously ornamented heads plainly cut into the rocks. ‘The main piece of work was shown on a flat space about fifteen feet wide and six feet high, and consisted of four heads each surmounted with a pair of rays and numerous heads without any dec- oration. On the other rock was one large head with at least cight rays, this head being fourteen inches across at the forehead. ‘There may have been originally also an inscription, but if so it had become obliterated by the action of the water years ago, ‘The markings were sup- posed to have represented a victory at or near Bellows Falls by four bands and their chiefs, under one principal chief, ‘The fact that the action of the water has removed what was discover- ed on the rocks a hundred years ago indicates to not a few that much more ‘of the record must have disappeared previously. ODS wAY TO COOL WATER, Nicaraguan Woman Has Process That Involves Severe Labor. When a native woman of one of the broiling hot little villages of interior Niearagua wants to cool some water she sets about it in a way little cal culated to cool herself, ‘The average native woman looks frail and listless, but there is no suspicion of listless- ness about her process of water cool ing. She filles a half-gallon earthenware Jar about two-thirds full, ‘The jar fs made of baked clay and, not being glazed, Is practically porous, so. that it soon becomes moist on the outside. By means of two leathern straps firm- ly attached to the neck of the jar the woman causes the same to rotate swiftly in the air, ‘The mouth is wide open, but centrifugal action keeps the water from flying out. The endurance exhibited by the woman is marvelous, When the oyerator thinks the water is sufficiently cooled she stops the movement by a dexterous twist of her wrist and hands the jar to the man who has been waiting. It is said by this process tepid water can be re- duced to the temperature of a cool mountain spring. ees ea At a district council meeting a mem- ber protested vigorously against the lethargy shown in commencing works which, he declared were sorely needed, A “scene” ensued, and the chairman tried to pour oil on the troubled wa- ters, “Mr, —— must remember,” said he, “that Rome wasn't built in a day.” “1 know it wasn't,” retorted the pro- testing member, “and if this commit- tee had had the work to do it wouldn't de built yet.” Literally Speaking, Hil Harix—Heow be yore son gittin’ along sence he went tew th’ city?

Carl Lunde, a Norwegian artist, has made himself famous by painting on metal, an art even the Japanese have failed in, great as they are as metal workers. Lunde decorates ordinary tin with characteristic designs in col ors and illuminates an ordinary tray or plate that would otherwise be cheaply Japanned, The method is his secret aid only one of many clever- ‘nesses he employs to render utility ar- tistie and decorative. . At the Seashore, ‘the Ohio man and his friend, the Kentucky eoionel, met on the beach. “Arent you going to take a plunge in the surf this morning, colonel?” queried the Ohio man. “Nevah again for me, sah,” replied the Kentuckian. “I tried it yestahday mawning, and accidentally swallowed neahly a quart of watah, sah.” Jeanie: Meaeulonlh “People talk about the weather be- cause they don't like to think,” re marked the man who makes a study ¢f conversation, “Not in this climate,” answered the contradictory person. “You've got to| keep your mind on it here.

The late Sir Walter Buller told the amusing story that he was once ad- dressing a large meeting of natives on a matter of considerable political importance and had been urging his views with all the earnestness that the subject demanded when immedi- ately on the conclusion of the speech ‘and before the old chief to whom his arguments were chiefly addressed had time to reply a honey eater, whose netted cage hung to a rafter overhead, responded in a clear, emphatic way, “Tito!” (false.). ‘The circumstances naturally caused mugh merriment among the audience and quite upset the gravity of the ven- erable old chief, “Friend,” he said, Tanghing, “your arguments are very good, but my mokai is a very wise bird and he is not yet convinced.” HE PROVES HIS DEVOTION. Young Man Convinces His Best Gis at the’ Dentist’s. A dentist received a call the other morning from a couple whom he soon had reason to believe were lovers. ‘The girl had an aching tooth, and as they entered the young man said: “Now, darling, the worst is over. Just take a seat’ and it will be out in a minute.” “Oh, I daren't!” she gasped. “But it really won't hurt you at all, you know.” “But I'm afraid it will.” “It can’t, Tq have gne pulled in a minute fs it ached.” “1 don’t believe it.” “Well, then, I'l have one pulled out just to'show you that it doesn’t burt.” He took a seat, leaned back and opened his mouth and the dentist seemed to be selecting a tooth to seize with his forceps when the girl protested, “Hold on! ‘The test is sufficient. He has proved his devotion. Move away, Harry, and I'l have it pulled.” She took the chair, had the tooth ayawn without a groan and as she went out she was saying to {he young man: “Now I can believe you when you declare that you would die for me.” ‘And yet every tooth in his head was false. ate aa “More trouble,” sighed MeNnity, putting on his coat: “If it ain't one thing it’s another!” “What's the matter now?” queried his good wite. “More labor troubles.” answered Me- Nutty. “Not another lock-out, I hope?” said the partner of‘his sorrows, / “No; it’s worse than that,” answered the alleged head of the house. “The boss has yielded and I've got to go to work again!” : On the Job. ‘At a recent public meeting of retir- ing councilors in a certain ward in a country town one of the speakers was boasting that he could bring an argu ment to a “p'int” as guick as any oth- er man. On hearing this, one of the audience who was acquainted with the speaker shouted out: “Aye, man, Sandy, and ye can bring a quart tae a pint a guid dit quicker” Brilliant Idea. Hyker — Tapeleigh, the dry goods man, has a scheme that keeps his store filled with customers. Pyker—Advertising scheme, eh? Hyker—No, not exactly. He keeps a parrot just inside the door that ex- claims, “Oh, what a pretty young lady,” every time a woman comes along—and, of course, the woman can't resist the temptation to go in and buy something. a It Would Seem So. Gyer—Nature may abhor a vacuum, | but she isn’t averse to an occasional burlesque. Myer—Hov's that? ~ Gyer—Well, for example, when she made the monkey she evidently had one eye on a man. ‘A ‘Tough One. “who was that farmer whose beard you trimmed?” asked the man on the second chair. “Trimmed!” echoed the man on the third chair. “I ‘didn't trim it. 1 pruned it.” Expensive Flattery. “No, he doesn’t dare to praise her good looks any more.” “Why not?” “Because whenever he did she in- variably rushed down street and had her picture taken.? Concerning Mistletoe. Bowery Liz—Ug poor girls has no show. Why, de rich ones kin cover de whole ceiling. Too Well Known.
