There Is a decided boom in Burns relics, and the collector recently had an opportunity of purchasing at Sothe by’s, London, two brass candlesticks, 10 inches in height, formerly in pos session of Burns; they are described as “the state candlesticks of his little parlor at Ellesland before ht> came to \ Dumfries.” Their authenticity ijs borne | out by a framed memorandum signed | by the poet’s eldest son an'! name sake; and they realized 11 gains as. Kipling to Julio Harlowo. Rudyard Kipling sent as a Christ mas present to Julia Marlowe a copy of his latest book, "The Day’s Work," with this verse in autograph on the flyleaf: When skies are gray instead of blue. With clouds that come ’to dis hearten; When things go wrong as they some times do, In life’s little kindergarten; I beg you, my child, don’t woep and wail. And don’t, don’t take to tippling: But cheer your soul with a little tala By Neighbor Rudyard Kipling.

Habits of thrift are generally com* mendable, but sometimes they give cause for amusement without the per son practicing them being aware of it. This was the case recently with a well known clergyman, whose church is one of the most flourishing of its denomi nation in the city. This clergyman re ceives a salary of $6,000 a year and has In addition a comfortable income of his own. He is a liberal giver to many charities, lives in a handsome brown-stone house, and apparently has less reason for economy than the average citizen, yet he has one habit— perhaps better, one idiosyncrasy—that might well be taken as an indication of poverty by those who did not know the clergyman. With inborn Scotch thrift the minister makes use of the blank side of letters he receives when they are written “on one side only.” He was recently asked to prepare an article for a magazine. In due time the manuscript reached the editor, each page of it written on the back of an old letter, and it was only too evident that he had paid no attention to whether or not the letters were of a personal character. The letters fur nished a rather curious commentary on the sort of letters a metropolitan clergyman receive. Among them were: A notice from an insurance company that his policy had lapsed owing to the non-payment of $156 premium. A note from the general passenger agent of a railway refusing his request that a pass from New York to Chicago be given to a poor brother in the min istry. An appeal from a poor widow for money to pay her rent and keep her from being dispossessed. A letter from a broker, who was one of his con gregation, advising him to invest in a certain stock, as it was certain to be "a good thing.” A criticism of one of his sermons from one of the pillars of the church. A receipt showing that he had paid for the license of his dog. —New York Herald. Insects on Plant*. A good and simple method of driving insects from plants was accidentally discovered by a Frenchman. He found that the leaves of the tomato plant would diive away the insects. He cov ered the shrub or plant he wished to rid of insects with leaves of the tomato plant, and soon .the odor drove them away. Then to make a simple process he made a decoction of the fresh to mato leaves as a spray, which is just as effective and costs hardly anything. Railway for the Philippines. A 25-mile railway for the Philip pines was lecently packed in the hold of a steamship at San Francisco. Ev erything needed for the railroad was sent except the ties, which will be ob tained iu the islands. It is said that the railway will be used to extend the thirty miles of railroad now controlled by the American troops. Honey Orders That Fall to Reach. In the course of the last year nearly 50,000 money orders failed to reach the payees. The number of such cases in creases from year to year, correspond ing with the aggregate business. In many cases remitters hold the orders as receipts; in other cases failure to deliver is due to defective address; but the bulk of the loss occurs through the stealing of letters by persons in the employ of the payees or remitters. Whenever loss is reported, whether actual or alleged, a duplicate is drawn promptly, the issue of which makes the original void. In the last year the number of duplicates issued was 46,263, being an increase over the preceding year of 1,908. Couldn’t Stand Prosperity. Little Turkey—“Mamma, where has papa gone?

Prospective visitors and gold-seekers^-, in the Klondike region may detract some comfort from the discovery, made by the Harriman Alaska expedition, that most of the glaciers which abound In that territory are receding. The fact is an indication that the average weather there is growing warmer. If it were growing colder the glacers would be advancing, while If it were about the same one year with another they would maintain the same general position, neither creeping' nearer to the sea nor melting away from their ter minal moraines. The rate of glacial recession is so slow, however, that fur overcoats and warm sleeping-bags are likely to remain as a part of the neces sary equipment of Alaskan travel for soihe years to come. Nothing, it may be added, is slower than the move ment of a glacier, except the settle ment of the Alaskan boundary dis pute.
