Beautiful home That Can Be
Built far Camparaiively Little
_____ -
A beautiful home is not necessarily
a matter of lavish expenditure of
money with the modern principals of
Imitative art governing the production
of art, metal and stone work and with
the assistance of the wonderful wood
working machinery we are enabled to
reproduce from original designs re
sults that a few years ago would have
been thought of only by the wealthy.
Yet you secure the same results, the
sublime purity of the designs, the lack
of any attempt at undignified ornamen
tation, the fascinating repose of the
simple outline, have a quiet, restful,
homelike feeling that at once enrap
tures us in admiration of the taste
and appreciation of the beautiful.
This is a square plan, yet a most
beautiful, dignified and chaste eleva
tion. The first story of huff Voman
brick iu white mortar and buff stone
a “peculiar squeamishness” to pa29
over one.
“Now. the singular part of the whole
thing." he continued, "was that every
man who held that coin in his hand
had a long spell of sickness afterward,
and some died. 1 saw Griffith a year
or two later, and he said he had never
fully recovered, and never expected
to.
“Griffith got interested in that coin
when he heard what it had done, and
began to trace back its history. He
remembered Cal Davis had paid it to
him, and asked him where he got it.
Davis had got it from a man named
Holt, and Holt got it from the guerrilla
chief, Sam Hildebrandt.
“Hildebrandt got the coin from a
Spaniard In a stage robbery. The
Spaniard told him the coin had been
cursed by the Pope, as it was part of
conception of the value of athletics
will add dignity, interest and standing,
making it a factor second to none in i
the development of our civilization. |
It will be a mighty influence in the ;
creation of a new end “uperior typo !
of men and women. That women are j
growing more and more to realize this
is evidenced by the athletic tendency
of the modern girl. If she will com
bine therewith an intelligent effort
after well-balanced and harmonious
development, the results are bound
to be satisfying in the extreme.
Decline of German Jews.
A statistical return of the religions
professed in the German Empire,
based on the census of 1900, has re

the number of Roman Catholics has
increased in a greater proportion than

THIS COIN WAS “CURSED."
Misfortunes That Befell the Persons
Who Happened to Own It.
An old resident of Carthage tells a
reporter for the Press a strange story
of a cursed coin. Among some money
turned over to Dick Griffith, treasurer
of Jasper county years ago, was a
|20 gold piece with a singular design
eut in it. The design represented a
fross with snakes coiling around it.
The “old resident" says that when it
was passed across the hand it caused
an American booty captured by pir
ates in Chinese waters and sent to
Rome as a peace offering. The coin
was stolen from Rome by a Spaniard,
and he, fearing to pass it. gave it to
his friend, who was coming to Amer
ica. Hildebrandt nearly died of fever
while carrying it. and Holt died from
some peculiar ailment which baffled
the doctors.
“What became of the coin I do not j
know, but every word of this story is {
as true as anything l ever told.”—Car
thage (Mo.) Press.
Art and Athletics.
The universally increasing attention
now being given, especially in Anglo
Saxon countries, to out-of-door sport3
and to physical culture is a sign of
the best omen. No class can have
a greater solicitude for the further
ance of this movement than the art
ists, for they cannot create beautiful
forms without having beautiful forms
around them from which to draw in
spiration, says a writer in Outing.
The art of a nation is a mirror of
that nation’s Ideals, and faithfully re
flects their slightest change. The new
the number of Protestants, while the
increase in Judaism as compared with
the Christian professions has been
very small. The Protestants num
bered 35.231,104 in 1900, as against
31,026,810 in 1890, or an increase of
13.6 per cent; while the Catholics
numbered 20,327,913 in 1900, as against
17,674,921 in 1890, or an increase of
15 per cent. The number of professing
Jews has only increased from 567,884
to 586,948, which gives a percentage
of 3.4. Of every 1,000 persons in the
German Empire 625 are Protestants,
361 Catholics. 10 Jews, and 4 of differ
ent or undetermined religious creeds,
A Queer Test.
An old lady applied at a registry
office for a maid.
“I want a little girl, between
eighteen and twenty-two years of age,
who is fond of mushrooms.”
"Fond of mushrooms?” inquired the
agent. "That is something I never
inquire about from my applicants. I
don’t understand.”
“Well, I am very fond of mush
rooms myself, and there are so many
mistakes made. The idea came to me
several years ago, and it was a dis
pensation of Providence that it did,
or I should have been killed. I make
my maid eat a portion of all mush
rooms brought to my house before
any are served to me. I always re
quire it,” replied the old lady. “I
have lost two excellent maids from
toadstools during the last five years,
and, of course, I could not. think of
taking the risk of eating mushrooms
unless I had a maid to test them.”
Cure for Ingrown Nails.
Tardlf says that he has been able
to cure all cases of ingrowing nail
without recourse to the knife. He
proceeds as follows: With a flat probe
or a match lie slips a bit of cotton be
tween the edge of the nail and the
inflamed flesh. Another strip of cot
ton is put along the outer margin of
the ulcerated area and the space be
tween these two strips of cotton, and
which is occupied by the ulcer, fs
thickly powdered with nitrate of lead.
The whole is covered with cotton and
the toe is bandaged. The dressings
are repeated the following day, and
every day until the incarcerated edge
of the nail is plainly visible. Then,
with patience, the edge of the nail is
lifted away from the flesh and a bit
of cotton is introduced under It to
keep it up. As it grows it will gradu
ally take its proper position above the
flesh, this having meantime shrunk
and shriveled by reason of the appli
cation of lead nitrate.
A dishonest man suspects every
honest mtJi he encounters.
HORSE STEALING A LOST ART.
Decadence of a Crime That W.ts Cevti
mon in Illinois.
“Horse stealing has become almost
a lost art in Illinois,” said a sheriff.
Twenty-five years ago the crime was
ine of the most common, but it grad
ually became unpopular on account
of the measures taken to suppress it.
“in the first place, the sheriffs of
the different counties formed an asso
ciation. held meetings, and made plans
to act in harmony. Farmers and stock
dealers organized anti-horse-thief asso
ciations, and dealers in horses became
more cautious in their purchases.
rts suuii as a norse was stolen me
members of the association in the
neighborhood started in pursuit of the
thief, and, there being so many of
them, every road, cartway and bypath
was followed, and it was a smart thief
who escaped thorn. In the meantime
the sherifT of the county, having been
notified, sent out telegrams and postal
cards to brother sheriffs, chiefs of po
lice and village and township con
stables, and the description of the
stolen horse was soon in the hands of
so many watchful people that it was
almost certain to 1)* seen and recov
ered.
“Sometimes the pursuing parties re
turned with the horse, but without tho
thief, and then dark rumors spread
abroad as to the fate of the criminal.
Stories of a grave in a lonely creek
bottom or of a body found floating In
the river became current, and thus a
certain horror was added to the crime
“The punishments for horse steal
ing were made severe, and, what was
of more importance, were rigidly en
forced. Legal quibbles never saved a
man, and it became a common saying
that a man found with a halter in his
possession was certain to be convict
ed. The juries, made up largely of
farmers, might be fooled into acquit
Ing a murderer, but a horse thief could
not escape conviction at their hands.
So it was that the business became
unprofitable, and the number of horses
stolen these days is comparatively
small.”
HAD THE BUTTON SEWED ON.
Mother’s Solicitude Over a Missing
Attachment to Her Sen’s Vest.
^t 6 o'clock in the morning of the
wedding day in a town up York state
a postofflee messenger rang the door
bell at the home of the bride-elect
and handed a special delivery letter
to the servant who responded.
It was addressed to the best man.
who had come 400 miles to second
his best friend in the ceremony, and
was. with several others, the guest
of the bride’s parents.
The best man was still asleep, but
he was promptly awakened, on the
supposition that the letter must con
tain something of importance. It did.
indeed. Rubbing his eyes in an ef
fort to understand he tore open the
envelope and was astonished to find
a sheet of letter paper, with a large
needle of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to
sew, thrust through it, nad a foot of
double black thread trailing in a loose
tangle down the page.
The best man thought it was a Joke,
but he couldn’t see it; and he was
about to become resentful when, up
on turning the sheet over, he found
this hastily written note:
“Dear Brother—Mother says there
is a button off your dress coat. It
i3 in your right-hand vest pocket. Sew
it on.”
Crawling out of bed the best man
examined his coat and laughed to see
that the situation had been accurate
ly described in the letter.
“Just like mother.” he said. “I’ll
wager she lost a whole night’s sleep
thinking about that confounded but
ton.”
Later In the day four bridesmaids
gleefully assisted in making the re
pairs, and this telegram went to moth
er:
“Button sewed on. Don’t worry.”
Human Lives Longer Now.
Timid j>eople and pessimists are in
clined to fear that the progress of
invention is increasing the dangers of
accident and disease to such an ex
tent that human life must necessarily
be shortened. This fear appears to
be groundless. Collected statistics
show 4ha«t the average duration of
human life is steadily increasing.
Soma interesting and striking facts
along this line are presented in a
recent report of the Chicago board of
health. The average duration of life
has increased in a third of a century
from 14 years to more than 31 years.
Exclusive of suicide, deaths from vio
lence have decreased 6.3 per cent.
Deaths from railway and car accidents
have decreased more than 5 per cent.
Since the partial abolition of rail
ways on grade and the introduction
of fenders on cars, six years ago,
deaths from this source have de
creased 12.6 per cent.
A Futile Mercy.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals means well by its
distribution of a couple of thousands
of bonnets for horses. But there will
be no real diminution of the aggregate
suffering of the world as long as the
society contents itself with giving
bonnets to horses. A horse cannot
talk at night or go through a rnmi'c
pockets when he sleeps of exhaustion
in the gray dawn. Nor can a horse
obtain credit at a milliner's, to the
despondency of the man who has ac
quired the right to pay some one's
bills. What is needed is a Society
for Distributing Bonnets to indignant
Females. A mere horse has not sou'
enough to know if its hat Is or
straight.

Novel Education for Indians.
Charles F. 1 .urnnils, the authur, who
Is intensely Interested In the Indian
race, always has two Indian children
ai his home near Los Angeles, Cal.
He chooses two children from one of
the neighboring tribes, keeps them a
year and then exchanges them for
other children. He intends that the
little Indians will learn more in one
year of family life in a civilized home
than in many years of attending
school and living among their own
people.

L^til s Family Fills are the best
intoxicated By tating ueans.
Among the peasants of southern It
aly. Sicily and Sardinia a curious mal
ady has been noticed by physicians,
which is caused by eating beans. One
of the most remarkable effects of the
malady is a species of intoxication
resembling that produced by alcoholic
drink. In some cases persons predis
posed to the malady are seized with
the symptoms of intoxication if they
pass a field where the bean plant is
in flower, the odor alone sufficing to
affect them.
Old Ship Broken Up.
What is stated to be the oldest ship
In the world has recently been sold
at Teneriffe to be broken up. This
is the Italian ship Anita, registered
at the port of Genoa. The Anita,
which resembled Christopher Colum
bus’ ship, the Santa Maria, was built
in Genoa in 1548, and effected her last
royage at the end of March, 1902,
from Naples to TelerifTe, six or seve.n
weeks ago. The Anita was of tre
mendously stout build, and had weath
ered countless storms and tornadoes in
all parts of the world, but she was
also the slowest ship afloat.

‘‘English is Irish and Irish is English.
