I toiiil-lliiiid Fiii'iiitiii'c W Modern Inventions --mlt Rcjuvcna tlcn of Valuable Product. Worn-out rubber, like worn-out nil vcr. Is somethirg that docs not oxtst In theso days. Ever since the ndvont of blryclM art! automobile,, both ot which draw heavily on the world's rubber Riipply, and tvM since tho hun dred and ant u'os to which rubber la put In connection wlUi electricity, the material has I'ftuonio umvb nnd inoro scarce and valuable, so that overt tho old rubber Mt and tho worn-out rub ber boot rr.ay throw out their chests In pride nt lie'ng worth really something. Nothing containing rubber 13 discard ed nowadays. The old rubber coat over which tho spring tiros of a motor ear may run on a country road to-day may some day find a resting place in tho soft trct'ses of a woman's hair af ter having been transformed Into a handsome comb. Even vulcanized rubber, which, ow !ng to tho sulphuric process to which It was subjected, was formerly value less, Is now subjected to a process which rejuvenates It and makes It fit to bo worked up again for the pur poses of the manufacturer. Immense1 quantities of thlB product, which for crly wns assigned to a rubbish heap, are now treated nnd admixed wilh a certain percentage of now gum, enough to cheapen the price of most rubbor goods turned out by tho mnii-rtur ors to-day. Old rubber, now. 1 can bo used by Itself without any addition of fresh gum, tho process of treatment being a simple one. Answers. THEN WAS THE TIME. Southerner's Peculiar Plea for Pro motion of Harmony. Dr. G, Watson James, for many years on tho editorial staff of tho old Richmond DIspnfch, now out of existence, tells this story to show how gontlo and Bwoet was tho feeling between tho Methodists North and tho Methodists South right after tho war. It was a raw and wot day when tho doctor took n Mississippi steamer nt Now Orleans. Ho wbb accompanied by a Virginia Methodist. On board was a party of about 200 Northern McthodlBts who had been to somo Important conference iwny from homo. Tho Northern Methodists hugged tho warm sides of tho great exposed boilers of the steamer. Another steamer came up astern, and a raco wns" started. Tho doctor's craft was losing by inches, and. tho captain had the furnaces roaring and full head of steam on. When an explosion socmen to have been overdue a half hour, tho South ern Methodist went out Into the cold nnd drizzlo nnd raising his hands toward tho gray sky uttered this In vocation: "O Lawd! Far be It from me, yo' 'umble servant, to wish any of Yo' people harm, but If Yo' nro still In tho bller bustln' business, now's Yo' chance." New York Times. To the Man Who fried.

A quaint and most disagreeable de rail of Lord Curzon's recent visit to Kowelt was tho constant fusillade of ball cartridge kept up by his native escort. It does not appear that any body, strango to relate, was hurt by tho bullets, which must have been dropping all about In tho surrounding country; but It Is quite common in that part of tho world for bystanders to bo Injured by these peculiar dem onstrations of enthusiasm. Blank cartridge does not satlsty the feelings of these races when they aro excited; they must, apparently, have tho sen- Eatlon of dangor as well. The pure negro, on tho other hand, oven tho Duhoman and tho Fan, is quite happy so long as ho mny mn'.o a satisfac tory noise. Montreal Herald. Glass Money. Glass money has been used from time immemorial by tho Arabs of Fez zan and Tazlll; and In Upper Ilur man are huge loaden tokens Issued by the lato King Theobau, nnd which still do duty, although they weigh three-quarters of a pound apiece, and it takes seven of them to equal in value a single Chinese dollar.

Russell Bage was chatting with a frlond on tho subject of succoss. This friend remarks that he did not re gard Mr. Sage as a wholly successful man because he had not been able to rid himself of tbe saving habits of his early days. Mr. Sage's friend was many years his Junior and ono whom ho was solicitous about, because of his recklessness in personal expendi tures. Turning on the tmprovldont ono Mr. Sago said: "It is not much over a year ago when I used to hoar oven clerks In banks and brokero' offices speculating on what sort of an automobile It was best to purchase; even tho big brok ers could not sleep well for speculat ing over the proper horsepower for their automobiles. "What do they ask one another to day?" suddenly queried Mr. Sage. "I'll tell you. They ask 'Where are tho transfer points on- tho surface car system of Now York? I tell you," thnt a penny saved Is a nickel mado and that a dime In the pocket Is worth more than an imaginative dol lar In the stock exchange. This old man," he concluded, "knows the dif ference between carfaro and the prlco of an nutomoblle, and ho can Indulge In either one ho wishes to without worrlment as to who sees him do It or what is tho cost. There seems to bo a certain olement of suc cess In being nxed In that way." Now York Times. MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

A 'ChllK's Poser. Itellglously inclined parents are more often than not subjected to em barrassing Inquiries by their small children who have not reached an age where they are willing to take a the ological subtleness for granted. A question was propounded by ono child on whose religious training much caro bed been expended was not only a poser, but carried with it a profound and world wldo significance. The small boy had been trained to ask In prayers that ho should "be mado a good little boy." Ono day ho had been far from good and his mother was remonstrating with him. "God does not like little boys to bo naughty," sho said. "God wants you to be good." "Then why does he not mako me good?" fell from tho baby's lips. ''I ask him often enough." Whist Authority Dead. Nicholas Browse Trlst of New Or leans, who died of heart disease last week, was tho highest recognized au thority in this country on the game of whist. Ho served in tho Confederate army under Gen. Klrby b'mlth, prac ticed law subsequently, and was raised to an honorable position on the local bench. Steerage Immigration.

Why Man Was Practicing Divlnp. Through New York Crowd. At the Brooklyn bridge approach the otjjer day a man was obcerved making frantic rushos Into the thick of the crowd. As everybody who goes to Brooklyn during rush hours does this, It Is necessary to explain why this particular man was observed. At first no ono paid any attention to him excepting ono old fellow with noart disease whom ho Jostled, and two young women with bundles who were knocked off their feet by the rashness of his charge. Everybody also was too Intent on sprinting past his neighbor or adroitly disabling a rival to bother about such a common place occurrence. It was the repetition of bin rushos over the same ground and not tho ferocity of his behavior or his disre gard for tho softer sex that finally mado him the subject of remark. When for tho third time he retreated over ground thus gained, and as often returned to the attack, a small, dyspeptic-looking bridge jumper whoso corns had been rudely trodden upon ventured a remonstrance. Subtly In serting his elbow in the abdomen of tho center rush, after the most ap proved bridge Jumping tactlc3, he courteously Inquired, "What seems to be eatln' you?" A look of pained surprise over spread the features of the rusher. "You needn't bo so unreasonable," ho answered with offendod dignity.

The man noticed that tho fish tho Klnc wa8 can-vine wore few In number and small, and, not recog nizing tho King, chnffed him on his bad luck. "You might bo the King." said the man, "with that little lot." "Why?" asked tho King, slightly em barrassed. "Well," said tho man, "everyone knows that bo's all right as n King, but he's no sportsman." Well Known Bostonlan Dead. Willlnm Durant, treasurer of the Boston Transcript Company and for seventy years a faithful omploye nnd guiding spirit of thnt corporation, died last week In his eighty-eighth year. Mr. Durant was born in Boston, studied law for a short tlmo and In February, 1S34, became a clerk in the Transcript office. Eight years later he was business manager, which posi tion ho hold until 1879, when he ulso undertook tho duty of treasurer. In 1886, at his own request, ho was re lieved of the presidency, hut until his death was treasurer and director. Refused Customary Holiday. Postmaster Genoral Payne upset n long-established custom by rofusing to glv, tho 2,000 employes In his do p'artmont a half-holiday tho day be fore Christmas. He had Intended to do so, but after consultation with some department chiefs he found that such n course would cause serious delay In the Volume of work, so he decided to keep everybody at work as usual. Mr. Payne's action is In lino with President Cleveland's contention that It was a dollburate violation of law for heads of departments to glvo clerks such a half-holiday. Is a Believer In Exercise.

The snow ,nd frost had clogged the door of an Eighth avenue car whon sho wanted to get out. The conductor got It half way open and sho tried to squeeze through. Tho hat had paved tho way for her when the conductor concluded to shut the half-opened door In order to get a better purchase for opening as far as It would go. There was a sickening crunch of wlro and feath ers. Sho found, wrote the conductor's number on a magazlno sho carried with her and got off tho car.

REPUTATION EASY TO L03E Little Fable of Guy de Maupasant Points Good Moral. To Illustrate the ease with which a reputation may bo shattered, tho New York Sun summarizes this story by Guy do Maupasant: A peasant perceives a piece of string lying In tho vlllngo street and stoops to pick It up. As he puts it In his pocket ho notices his enemy look ing at him from a neighboring door step. Ashamed at being seen pick ing up bo trivial an object, ho turns hastily awny, in evident confusion. But n pocketbook has been lost, and the peasant Is arrested, charged with having found It. In vain he protests that It was only a piece of string he picked up. No body believes blm. But, as there is no further evidence against him, ho Is released. Ho goes from friend to friend tell ing his story, showing tho piece ot string. But they all turn away. Ho is nn outcast. He tells his story to" strangers, to any ono who will listen. Practical Jokers got him to -tell it to amuso them, as soldiers ' nre urged to tell the story of thelr battles. His mind, struck at the root, grows weak; ho takes to his bed; at last he dies, clutching tho piece of string, protest ing his innocence in his delirium. No ono can tell a practical Joke's end.
