STUDENT OF SHAKESPEARE The Natives Heard Him Recite and Thought Him a Lunatic. An itinerant college “professor,” as he styled himself, was stranded in a little backwoods settlement, and in order to raise cash enough to help him farther on the road he proposed a Shakespeare club for the literary diversion of the citizens. “It’s like those they have in the cities,” he explained，“and if you folks want to keep up with the procession you must have one too.” About a dozen applied for membership and were in the hall early, waiting for the professor who was late in getting there. When he did arrive, after stating the object of the meeting, he proposed to give them samples of Shakespearean acting. He began with Hamlet, then took Macbeth and Richard III. There was no applause from his audience while he was perspiring through the various acts. In fact, the audience was serious—very serious—and he noticed little groups forming here and there and engaging in whispered conversations. Finally a man went forward, took the lower motive. Its Application to a Loudly Crying Child In a Car. The child was screaming lustily over the elevated train. Unreasonably it has stalled on getting off and going home between stations. The passengers would look of patient endurance which so frequently overspreads murderous desires. Vainly the mother appealed to the child’s regard for the suffering public, to its duty to itself in such phrases as “Folks don’t like to hear little boy cry” and “Be a good child and listen to mamma.” But each appeal seemed to be a stimulus to new vigor, says a writer in Serlinger’s Magazine. At length the mother announced that doubtless there were bears at the next station that ate little boys who cried. The youngsters ceased instantly, apparently as much through interest in outwitting the bear as through fear. He became cheerful curious and pressed his tear staining face to the pane. To the inflicted pain sengers never was there a more pleasing prevarication. Those who had frowned now smilingly shared the little one’s interest in this alleged fact of natural history. A happy contentment air pervaded the car. The ethics in the situation distressed no one. But need we fear to discuss it? He was one young child pitted against car full of people, some doubtless bans presidents, perhaps a judge or two, timidable women going to read paper. It was a contest too ridiculous to tolerated. Plainly the important thing was to still that one strong youth throat even if it became necessary disturb its tender young ethical standards, for the time must come when would learn the truth about those bears and perhaps pause a moment or two other of its mother’s statements. But in any case the greater immediate goal is a number of innocent people caught totally overbalanced the lesser, remote evil to one young, unreasonable boy.

When he did arrive, after stating the object of the meeting, he proposed to give them samples of Shakespearean acting. He began with Hamlet, then took Macbeth and Richard III. There was no applause from his audience while he was perspiring through the various acts. In fact, the audience was serious—very serious—and he noticed little groups forming here and there and engaging in whispered conversations. Finally a man went forward, took the professor by the arm and said: “You’d better come with me, pardner. Don’t be afeared; we ain’t gwine ter hurt you. It’s all for your own good, so come elong.” “What do you mean?” asked the frightened professor. “That’s all right, pardner. Jest come on quiet, an you’ll fin’ out what we’re after. We ain’t gwine ter tie you unless we has ter.” By this time several bad hold of him, and he was hustled out of the building to a room in the rear of a grocery store, where he was guarded by several citizens until morning. Then he was taken before the ordinary of the county under full guard. “He’s or them that lunatics what jumped the asylum lately,” explained the spokesman of the crowd. “The way he went on in the meetin las’ night wur orful—pitchin an rearin an hollerin an pullin at his hair like he wanted ter git his head off. We had ter keep him under close guard all night fer fear he’d hurt himself.” “I know all erbout it,” said the ordinary. “I wuz in the meetin myself, but escaped early. What have you got ter say fer yerself, sir?” “I was only trying to form a Shakespeare club, when” “It’s my opinion,” interrupted the ordinary. “that what you needs most is a hickory club. I’m goin ter instruct this here jury ter fin’ you guilty of lunacy in the fust degree, an may the Lord have mercy on your soul. You’ll kill somebody of you ain’t taken keer on, an now that we’ve got you we’re gwine ter keep you.” It was in vain the prisoner protested. He was “a gone case,” and if the high judge of the county court hadn’t arrived just in the nick of time and given him ten minutes to leave town he would have boarded the next train for the lunatic asylum. Atlanta Constitution. SAVAGE ATHLETICS. Reach Training of the Natives of the Canary Islands. In this age of athletics one might think that no people ever showed so much interest in feats of muscular might and skill as those who have perfected football, but modern games and even the games of the Greeks at Olympia may have been more than matched by the sports of peoples who are now held in little esteem. A writer on the Canary Islands gives an account of their athletic training which makes even the college giants of today seem weak and effeminate. The Canary islands were subjected by Spain about the time Columbus discovered America. The conquest was due solely to the superiority of European weapons and not to better skill In any case the greater immediate goal to a number of innocent people could easily overbalanced the lesser, remote evil to one young, unreasonable boy. ALWAYS A BATTLE. Unceasing Working of the Law Competition In Nature. “How peaceful this all is!” exclaims the city sejourner on an outing, looking across the wooded valleys and over the grass grown hillsides. It was the “vesper time” of the day, insects hummed drowsily, and here and there a bird winged slowly westward. “Look a little more closely,” said the native, “and let me give you a few lightening facts. You will find that the law of competition is as deadly, the survival of the fittest’ as unerring death dealing throughout this same peaceful scene as in any center of the street in the midst of a bull and bear fight. For instance, look at the small cedar struggling pitifully in the tolls of the luxurious growth of ‘polisvy’ that almost covers it. The castawatcher notes the contrast of the faceage, a pretty sight, and gives thought to the war of life and death the two are waging. Wherever they darar puts up a stronger branch than fastens another tendril with strangling grip, and another cedar hope is ‘nipple web.’ “Hush!” interrupted the metropolitan. “I get enough of it in my own world. Let me keep my superficial view, and you may keep your enlightening facts.” — New York Tribune GRANT’S SYMPATHY. Tribute of a Southern Woman to General Kindly Nature. The sympathetic side of General Grant’s nature, as every one knows was very strong. A few days after the surrender of Vicksburg a southern lady hurried to his quarters to ask for information about her husband, whose safety she had heard confounding reports. The general replied that he could not give her the information she desired, but that he would see an orderly at once to find out the facts for her. When the man returned with the news that her husband was saw tears of gratitude, while tears of sympathy showed on the cheeks of General Grant. On another occasion it was years after at a banquet in Vicksburg given him when he was making a tour of the southern states one was keen expressing her gratitude to him for past kindnesses. As he replied to his two tears rolled slowly down cheeks. For little children and old people General Grant showed special sympathy. Many who were small foes those days remembered his way Lucretia J Colby et al. to William T Coats and John T Russell—W 125 feet of lot 4, block A of Hickey, Andrews, & Crane's addition to Santa Ana; $500.

Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre of Shepherdtown, W. Va., says: "I had a severe case of bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of, but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's infallible for croup, whooping cough, grip, pneumonia and consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed by Hutchinson, the drug-gist. Trial bottles free. Regular sizes 50c and $1. An Unselfish Huxband. Conjurer (poluting to his cabinet)—Ladies and gentlemen. I now call your attention to the great illusion of the evening. I will ask any lady in the audience to step on the stage and enter the cabinet. I will then close the door. When I open it again, the lady will have disappeared, leaving no trace. Husband (to his wife)—Matilda, my love, do oblige the gentleman and walk up.—London Telegraph. For little children and old people General Grant showed special sympathy. Many who were small foes those days remembered his way drawing them to him and impressing a kiss on cheek or brow. One old lady who afflicted her friends by her propensity for smoking was often the recipient of a good cigar from him. The gift was full appreciated, as the general's stock was always of the best. When he was in Washington she sent him some flowers "from the hills of Vicksburg" for which a letter of thanks was promptly returned. Subsequently when she visited Washington, she was kindly received by the president, who to her delight presented her with some more of his good cigars.—Helen Gray in Leslie's Weekly. A Defense of Dancing. It is not necessary in these days to defend the claim of the dance to place among the arts. As soon as you have got rid of the Puritan prejudice on the point (and one may hope that this no longer exists for the intelligent part of the population) the claim is to overwhelm to need apology, for we take art to mean the production of beauty then the case only needs stating to be conceded, while if we understand it as self expression in some concrete form we shall find that the dance which is a kind of fusion of music painting and sculpture, is pre-eminently capable of giving expression beyond the possibility of words to the basis and therefore largely inarticulate, part of our nature—the hunger of the spirit and the joy of life.—London Outlook. Made Young Again "One of Dr. King's New Life Pill each night for two weeks has put me my teens again," writes D. H. Turner of Dempseytown, Pa. They're the best in the world for liver, stomach and bowels. Purely vegetable. Never gripe. Only 25c at Hutchinson's. THE LOWER MOTIVE. Aplication to a Loudly Crying Child In a Car. Child was screaming lustily on a lit train. Unreasonably it inched getting off and going home stations. The passengers wore box of patient endurance which instantly overspreads murderous rains. Vainly the mother appealed child's regard for the suffering so its duty to itself in such cases "Folks don't like to hear a cry" and "Be a good child to mamma." But each appended to be a stimulus to reverigor, says a writer in Scribnbagazine. At length the mother decided that doubtless there were the next station that ate up days who cried. The youngster constantly, apparently as much interest in outwitting the bears high fear. He became cheerful and pressed his tear stained the pane. To the afflicted passenger was there a more pleasurable variation. Those who had now smilingly shared the little interest in this alleged fact in history. A happy, contented braved the car. The ethics of station distressed no one. Need we fear to discuss it? Here is young child pitted against a lot of people, some doubtless bankers, perhaps a judge or two, essex women going to read papers, a contest too ridiculous to be held. Plainly the important thing is still that one strong young even if it became necessary to its tender young ethical stander the time must come when it learn the truth about those bears haps pause a moment or two at its mother's statements. But cause the greater immediate good number of innocent people cerebral balanced the lesser, remote one young, unreasonable boy. ALWAYS A BATTLE. Working of the Law of Competition In Nature. Peaceful this all is!" exclaimed sojourner on an outing, look-see the wooded valleys and over grass grown hillsides. It was the time" of the day, insects humwlsy, and here and there a beaked winged slowly westward. A little more closely," said the A Startling Test To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt of New Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes: "A patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles, so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months." Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation and kidney troubles. Try them. Only 50c at Hutchinson's drugstore. A Clever Fish. The salmon seems to be gifted with much intelligence, or "hereditary foreign," as it is occasionally called, which is more particularly acute when danger signals are abroad, says William G. Harris in Field and Stream. They have been known, when congregated in the upper pools, to become frightened by poachers approaching them with net or spear and to immediately dash down stream to a distance of thirty miles in one night, not stopping until they had reached pools so deep that they could not be taken with the appliances of the poacher. They seemed to know that if they went higher up the stream their doom was sealed. When coming from the sea in schools and on entering the estuary they have been seen with an old leader at the head of the school, the rest forming a triangle about two and a half feet below the surface of the water, and on calm days, guided by the old patriarch, they would swim around the fishermen's nets, never approaching them nearer than ten or twelve yards. Standing an Egg on End. Any fresh egg can, without being boiled, be balanced on either end by any one possessing patience and a steady hand. In order to save time the egg should be placed for a short time on the end upon which it is desired to balance it, so as to allow the yolk to settle; then both forearms of the person making the experiment should be rested on the edge of the table and the egg should be taken between the three fingers and thumbs of both hands and slowly turned around until the center of gravity is found. This experiment may at first require a little time, but after a little practice it will be found very easy to do. It would be well to try it first on the tablecloth and then on the bottom of a plate. A GLIMPSE OF TOKYO SCENES IN THE SCARRED CAPITAL OF EASTERN JAPAN. A Widespread Medley of Unpleasant Sights, Odors and Sounds—Some of the Inconveniences That Beset the Foreigner In Shopping. Tokyo, the vast sprawling capital of eastern Japan, is aged with the scars of fire, of earthquake and of war. This great city, once of 1,000,000 inhabitants, spread over what is popularly estimated as a hundred square miles, seems still to cower in the shadow of the fortress of the great Iyeyasu. For the American tourist unprepared for the real orient and knowing Japan only through her art products and the few pen pictures of the artist rhapsodists who have embarrassed her with their praises Tokyo is a rare purgative. Except for the stately and dignified tombs of the shoguns and the fine official grounds and buildings of the capital he finds his senses assailed on every side by unpleasant sights, odors and sounds. Approaching Tokyo by train from Yokohama, he sees the green hillsides placarded with enormous advertisements. Arrived in the city, he finds the poster and billboard everywhere monstrous and flagrant. Stagnant sewers lie along the roadside, and foul odors arise from the pavements, constantly wet down by the householders. Porters and storekeepers with a rag of a breechcloat or a scant skirt jostle, shout and stare, and perhaps a whole family may be seen in a doorway ready for the tub, from which you see the steam arising. A street called the Ginga is the state street of Tokyo, and here in the evening you may find an infinity of wares spread out upon the walk, which is one of the few real sidewalks in Japan. Most of these wares, however, are a vast inconsequential array of cheap trifles, such as the enterprising manager of an American "five cent store" might gather together. There are, however, a number of somewhat pretentious stores to be seen by the persistent shopper. Shopping in Tokyo, however, is attended by many inconveniences. To begin with your rickshaw man knows no English and nothing about the stores, and the names and numbers of streets are known only to the map makers. Where a street has a name it is likely to belong only to the shady side and to FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and Resources Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with an elation of 2500, is situated in northern part of Orange county Southern California, 12 miles north of the ocean, 41 miles fromthe hills,and 1481 feet above sea level.

It is conceded, of course, that the present century is far more advanced than that of Columbus, so it is only to be expected that different ideas should have been formed, even as to the balancing of eggs. Applied Science. When James Russell Lowell was minister to England, he was guest at a banquet at which one of the speakers was Sir Frederick Bramwell. Sir Frederick was to respond to the toast, "Applied Science." It was long after midnight when the toast was proposed, and several speakers were still to be called. Rising in his place, the scientist said: "At this hour of the night, or rather, of the morning, my only interest in applied science is to apply the tip of the match to the side of the box upon which alone it ignites and to apply the flame so obtained to the wick of a bedroom candle." A moment later Lowell tossed a paper across the table to him bearing these two lines: Oh, brief Sir Frederick, would that all could catch Your happy talent and supply your match! —Youth's Companion. A Pair of Misers. Mr. and Miss Dancer were reputed the most notorious misers in the eighteenth century. The manner in which this couple were found after death to have disposed of their wealth was even more strange than could have been their method of acquiring it. The total value was £20,000, which was thus disposed of: Two thousand five hundred pounds was found under a dunghill, £500 in an old coat nailed to the manager in the stable, £600 in notes was hidden away in an old teapot, the chimney yielded £2,000 stowed in nineteen different crevices, and several jugs filled with coin were secreted in the stable loft. Sneezing in the Orient. Many savage and semilevilized race of the orient have some curious customs regarding the sneeze. When the sultan of Monomtopa sneezes, for instance, the fact is made known from the palace by a certain signal. Instantly every subject within hearing of the signal sets up a shout, the cry is taken up by others and so extends until it runs through the confines of his empire. When the sultan of Senar sneezes, on the contrary, every woman in his harem or within hearing turns her back on him and makes a sign of contempt by smiling her hips with her hands—disgusted that so mighty a personage should have to sneeze like an ordinary mortal. Most of these wares, however, are vast inconsequential array of cheap trifles, such as the enterprising manager of an American "five cent store" might gather together. There are, however, a number of somewhat pretentious stores to be seen by the persistent shopper. Shopping in Tokyo, however, is attended by many inconveniences. To begin with, your rickshaw man knows no English and nothing about the stores, and the names and numbers of streets are known only to the map makers. Where a street has a name it is likely to belong only to the shindy side and to run around the block instead of continuing from the next corner. If, however, you succeed in finding a store your troubles have just begun. The proprietor sits at the rear of the establishment, cross legged, before a small desk. By virtue of being in his own store he has reached the summit of earthly desire and cares nothing about you. Perhaps if you wait some small clerk of a dozen years or less will come to wait upon you and, seeing you are a foreigner, will charge you extra for the few words of English he can master. If you are bold enough to leave your rickshaw and wander about on foot you will soon attract a curious crowd, the clatter of whose wooden gets upon the fings will well nigh deafen you. It is a good natured, well meaning crowd, however, and will soon be scattered by a policeman. If there are any clerks going your way they will address you in the hope of learning a few words of English or inviting you to their stores. There is no hostility or insult, only curiosity and good natured, childish amusement. Modesty is an unknown quantity in Japan, as one soon learns. If your rickshaw man's two garments become damp he is likely to change them before you, and fellow travelers in the cars are sure to change their clothes without deference to place or surroundings. Men and women use the same tank at the same time in the public baths without a thought of impropriety. The streets of a Japanese city are full of interesting sights and seem never twice the same. Every store and every passerby is a novelty that chains the attention for a moment. In a land where nearly all wares are hand made every article has some individuality, and one is led on with the hope of finding something better than the rest. Heavy loads are carried through the streets on the backs of men and women, on horses and on two wheeled carts. The carts are drawn by bulls or shaggy northern stallions and are guided by the driver, who walks with the pole. The burdens carried by women and children are remarkable. All over Japan the heaviest work is done by women, the bricks and masonry for the new museum and government buildings being so transported in the heat of mid-summer. Children carry their brothers and sisters strapped to their backs and haul great loads on heavy carts. The life of the laboring classes seems very arduous, and they are remarkably patient and industrious. Throughout city and country every one seems to be hard at work. The death rate of Tokyo is very high.

Of interesting features of this is the paragraph giving the name of farms and acres of farming in five Southern California ties. The pre-eminence of County is apparent: Counties No. tarms Los Angeles Orange Riverside San Bernardo San Diego The area of Orange county square miles; that of Los Angeles 8880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055; and that San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains fifth the area of Los Angeles its irrigated lands approach in one-half those of its neigh- north. Riverside embraces nine tilt area, yet it irrigates 9000 more or four more than the bel- county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times i yet its irrigated acres exceed this jumbo county by nearly approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times i yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more on the county on the south—30 percent is the former's irrigated as compared with that of the almost the irrigated area o Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses these system of irrigation,the most water rights that exist in South California That is what we When the man returned with us that her husband was safe in her woman's eyes filled with gratitude, while tears of sympathy on the cheeks of Generals.

I have not had a doctor in the house for that length of time. It is a doctor in itself and always ready to make a person well and happy."—JAMES HALL, Jacksonville, Ill. Because this great medicine relieves stomach pains, frees the constipated bowels and invigorates the torpid liver and weakened kidneys NO DOCTOR is necessary in the home where Thedford's Black-Draught is kept. Families living in the country, miles from any physician, have been kept in health for years with this medicine as their only doctor. Thedford's Black-Draught cures billiousness, dyspepsia, colds, chills and fever, bad blood, headaches, diarrhoea, constipation, colic and almost every other ailment because the stomach, bowels liver and kidneys so nearly control the health. THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT The burdens carried by women and children are remarkable. All over Japan the heaviest work is done by women, the bricks and masonry for the new museum and government buildings being so transported in the heat of mid-summer. Children carry their brothers and sisters strapped to their backs and haul great loads on heavy carts. The life of the laboring classes seems very arduous, and they are remarkably patient and industrious. Throughout city and country every one seems to be hard at work. The death rate of Tokyo is very high. The custom of carrying very young children strapped on the back with their heads unprotected from the sun leads to thousands of cases of brain fever and blindness. A majority of the children bear the marks of skin diseases, and their heads are often nauseating to behold. The water used in the city is suspicious, and travelers drink spring water or tea. The general practice of rebinding certain wooden images on the temples to secure freedom from various forms of disease undoubtedly assists the spread of various disorders.—Chicago Chronicle. She Was Grateful, Mr. Brown's business kept him so occupied during the daytime that he had little opportunity to enjoy the society of his own children. When some national holiday gave him a day of leisure his young son was usually his chosen companion. One day, however, Mr. Brown, reproached by the wistful eyes of his seven-year-old daughter, reversed the order of things and invited the little girl to go with him for a long walk. She was a shy, silent, small person, and during the two hours' stroll not a single word could Mr. Brown induce the little maid to speak, but her shining eyes attested that she appreciated his efforts to amuse her—and indeed, she fairly glowed with suppressed happiness. Just before they reached home, however, the child managed, but only after a tremendous struggle with her inherent timidity, to find words to express her gratitude. "Papa, what flower do you like best?" she asked. "Why, I don't know, my dear—sunflowers, I guess." "Then," cried the little girl, beaming with gratitude. "that's what I'll plant on your grave!"—Woman's Home Companion. Nasal CATARRH In all its stages, Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, soothes and heals the diseased membrane.

"Linseed oil is the life of paint" because it is the binder, the mucoflage, that holds the pigments (the dry paint) to the surface; and only when the oil loses this binding quality through its disintegration by atmospheric influences should the lecensed dry particles of pigment come off. The office of the pigment is decorative and also preservative in prolonging the life of the oil by protecting it from the elements. Absolute certainty of the purity of the linseed oil constitutes the chief economy in paint buying, for to exactly the extent that the binding quality of the oil is weakened by the use of adulterants or cheap "winners," the durability of the whole paint is diminished. You have this absolute certainty of the quality of the oil in the Paint put on your house when you buy Kinloch Paint, because you buy the oil separately and give your paint this absolutely certain durability by mixing this oil gallon for gallon with the thick "Kinloch" paste in which, for your convenience and the certainty of proper proportions, all the pigments, tinting colors, "turpe" and dryers are ground together and sold you, ready for the admixture of the pure raw oil by yourself.

There was a good deal of truth in the saying that England drifted into the Crimean war without knowing exactly why it did so. Not less accurate was Lord Palmerston's familiar declaration concerning the Sleswick-Holstein troubles. Only three men in Europe, he said, ever knew what those war making troubles were. Two of the men died before the war broke out, and the third forgot what was the point in dispute. A slighting reference by Frederick the Great to Mme. Pompadour was one of the exciting HE COULDN'T FORGET. The Surprise He Got on His Thirty-second Birthday. "I'll never forget my thirty-second birthday in New York," said an old resident meditatively. "Was it a joyful one?" asked the young man who was lounging about the club as if time hung heavy on his hands. "Joyfull!" exclaimed the old resident. "That's no name for it at all. It was downright lively. I think my wife realized afterward that she rather overdid the matter." Wars and Their Causes.

Two of the men died before the war broke out, and the third forgot what was the point in dispute. A slighting reference by Frederick the Great to Mme. Pompadour was one of the exciting causes of the Seven Years' war. An overturned glass of water was one of the contributing elements to another. The omission of a simple "etc." was the peg upon which an earlier one was hung. The theft of a lady's petticoat brought Moors and Spaniards to blood-shed. The smashing of a mandarin's teapot was the basis of a war between the imperial forces of China and hill tribes which lasted for generations. An Anecdote of Pope. There is an old anecdote of Alexander Pope concerning one of the old watermen who was employed for many years in rowing Pope on the Thames. Pope was in the habit of having his sedan chair lifted into the punt. If the weather was fine, he let down the glasses; if cold, he pulled them up. He would sometimes say to the waterman: "John, I am going to repeat some verses, Take care and remember them the next time I go out." When that time came, Pope would say: "John, where are the verses I told you of?" "I have forgotten them, sir." "John, you are a blockhead. I must write them down for you." John says that no one thought of saying, when speaking of him, "Mr. Pope," but that he was always called "Mr. Alexander." Said Maid to Mistress. "Where have you been, Jane?" "I've been to a meeting of the Girls' Friendly society, ma'am," was the maid's reply. "Well, what did the lady say to you?" "Please, ma'am, she said I wasn't to give you warning, as I meant to. She said I was to look upon you as my horn—and bear it."—New Yorker. HE COULDN'T FORGET. The Surprise He Got on His Thirty-second Birthday.

It was downright lively. I think my wife realized afterward that she rather overdid the matter." "Tried to surprise you, did she?" "She not only tried to, but she succeeded. You see, she always was an enthusiast in everything she undertook." "Bankrupted you in getting you presents, I suppose," suggested the young man. "Well, not exactly," returned the old resident reflectively, "but her presents came very near banking me later. However, they are a good deal of comfort to me now, so that I can't say I regret it." "Now!" ejaculated the young man. "Do you mean to say that you still have them?" "Certainly." "And long ago was this thirty-second birthday?" "Twenty years ago." "Twenty years! Heavens! That's a long time to keep a birthday present." "Two of them," corrected the old resident quietly. "May I ask what they were?" inquired the young man after a pause. "Certainly. Twins—both girls," replied the old resident.—New York Times. New Method of Laying Dust. Experiments have been carried out in England with a new dust laying preparation known as westrumite to overcome the raising of heavy clouds of dust by automobiles. The preparation is a mixture of oil, capable of dilution to any desired extent, and distributed over the road surface by means of an ordinary water cart. After the evaporation of the water the westrumite remains as a moist surface or film upon the road and absolutely prevents clouds of dust arising. Some interesting demonstrations with this preparation have been given.
