This cconsists of a weekly map window sor vice, showing maps and interesting il lustrations. They advise us that thoso maps will show tho leading events of what ever part of the world happens to bo In the limelight. Just now, of course, tho big Interest Is In Europe, so these mapH will show tho battle fronts In Europe, Just whore our Amer ican boyB will be, togothor with pic tures of Interest in collection with same. Theso ma'ps will bo changed weekly, and will show geographically tho progross of armleB and other events of world Interest.

Tho nitrate caves In the South wero worked during tho Civil war by very crudo methods. Goncrally tho cava earth was shoveled Into Iron pots, whero It was treated with water and hoatod over wood flros to loach out Its solublo parts. Tho liquor was drawn from ono pot Into another, and used for treating fresh material until It became u highly concentrated solution of nltrato salts. It wns then drawn off and allowed to cool, whereupon tho nltrato crystullzed. Tho remaining liq uor was then employed to leach fresh material and tho crystals wero separ ated and sncked for use. Avoid This Dad Habit. The habit of exaggeration is ono of tho hardest to correct. Tho girl who falls Into tho way of overemphasizing every statement, find the plain truth very tamo Indeed. And sho littlo guesses how tiresome her exaggerated statements become to her listeners. Watch your speech for signs of tills fault so prevalent In tho speech of The Union Pacific Railroad Company last Satudny subscribed for Llborty bonds In tho sum of $61,060 through tho First National, tho McDonald State Bank and the Platto Valloy State Rank of this city.

" : :o: Equinoctial Storms. Tho month of September, brings in Its train the llrst touch of cold weath er nnd frost and the co-called "equl ndctlnl storms." The sun "crosses the lliie" on September tho autumnal equinox, nnd summer Is astronomically at an end. The seasonal change of weather generally brings about that time a violent storm with Its attendant disaster to shipping. As similar .stonns occur In March while i'io sun is near the spring equinox, there has natural ly down through the centuries grown up the Impression that the sun's cross ing the equator is directly responsible for theso equinoctial storms. Nnthln1 could be moro nbsurd. The equator In the sky Is as Imnglnnry u circle as the equator on tho earth. Weather Is not made on tho spot, but is the result of Influences spread over largo areas. Changes lu tho moon and spots on the sun havo been the phenomena most generally blamed for changes In the weather but apparently Without ecleutiilc reason. Kino James' Razor. It Is related that when King .Tanics II lied from tho battle of the Boyne nnd tho siege of Londonderry, In July, 1000, ho carried with him among other porsonal effects a razor, hand ground, but with very slight concave, If nny, and mndo from hand forged English Fteol nt Belfast, Ireland. The handle Is genuine Ivory, with a heavy, solid -old back. While the blade itself Is of little or no value lis compared with modern American made razors, the handle has a valuation of approxi mately .$2.1, wi,v the Christian Herald. During the llli'lit the king xlept one night In tho house of Itev. John DlcUoy, at Carnone, County Donegal. In tho morning, after ho had shaved, ho placed his razor In a drawer ntid forgot to take It with him when he loft. Qucer Trousers In Argentina. Interesting are the trousers or tights of tho poorest class of gauchos, who llvo lu a very prlmltlvo rftato In the southern Argentine pampas. When they 'need a pair of pants they kill an old mare and strip off tho hide of the forelegB as ono would druw off a glove. These, suys the Los Angeles Times, nrc drawn, soft and pliable, hairy side Jn, over the feet and lega up to tho hips, when they ndjust them selves like tights. They aro thus worn continuously, day nnd night, forweclcs, until tho owner feels tho necessity of a new pair of pants. They uro then cut loose, another old marc Is killed, and tho operation Is repeated.

At tho ago of twenty-five ho went to London to make his way In literature. Ho was tutor, writer for tho press, dramatist and poet, but ho is remembered today by reuson of the two poems already mentioned, lie died nt tho ago of forty-eight. It Is related of Thomson that ho seldom got out of bed until noon nnd often not then. Most of "Tho Scusons" and nearly all of "The Castlo of Indolence" wero written lu bed. Thomson excelled more in descriptions than In episode or reflection. Hindu Serpent Charmers. Tho power of tho Hindu serpent churmer to detect tho presence of tho reptiles In a dwelling house nnd to "churm" them out of it, is far too com mon to be made a matter of skepti cism. Ho Is often required to do this in the full light of day, surrounded by spectators; i'ud Incredulous persons hnvo searched him beforehand; yet his success has been complete. ITo as sumes an air of mystery, strikes the wnfls with a short stick, whistles, makes a chuckling nolso with his tongue, and spits upon the ground, and generally says : "I adjure you by Ood, If yo bo above, or If ye bo below, that yo come forth. I adjure you by tho most gront namo; If yo bo obedi ent, como forth; and If yo bo disobe dient, dlol die! dlol" In all proba bility these charmers aro acquainted with soma mysterious physical means of discovering tho presenco of serpents without seeing them, and of attracting them from their hiding places. : :o: : What Aro Vou Worth? Havo you any Idea' hid you ever capllnlizo your wages and figure It out? This In tho way to ascertain how much your labor Is reully AVorth. For Instance, a man who has saved 920,000 and Invested It at fi per cent re cctves an annual Income of $1,000 a your, or about $20 a week. Tho elerk hi Uio olllco or tho work man In tho factory who gets $20 a week therefore receives tho income at 5 per cent on un Investment of $20,000. Ho Is a $20,000 man-that is, ho in getting us much week by week oh tho man with $20,000 wlio depends solely upon tho 111901110 from his Investments and who docs not wor!or n living. Tho man who earns $10 a week .has about tho sumo incomo as tho Investor with $10,000 put out at Intercut at 6 per cent. So labor is cupltul. It has a market value.
