BAKTHOT.OMUW. TYPE THAT HAS PASSED AWAY. Country Schoolmaster of the Early Days of America. Apropos of the country schoolmas ter of the early days of America , an old manuscript In the Now Jersey Historical society contains the follow ing characteristic anecdote : "A traveling person coming Into a country neighborhood where was a vacant schoolhouse offered himself as a toucher. The neighbors convened to examine Into his abilities. He was asked what branches he could teach. 'Almost any , ' was the answer. Ho could Instruct children how to read without llrst learning to spell , to write without llrst malting niarUs , and It was Indifferent to him In what rule they llrst commenced arithmetic. 'Are you acquainted with mathemat ics , sir ? ' was the next question. Sup posing some great literary character was meant , the follow assumed an air of great Importance and quickly re plied : 'Matthew Mattocks , sir ? No , sir , I am not acquainted with Matthew , hut I know his brother , Tom , very well1 ! Secret of Elaborate Wardrobes. "You've heard of the little boy that had to stay In bed when his brother had to wear their one dress-up suit ( of clothes , " remarked an exclusive dressmaker. "Well , that plan of trad ing clothes Isn't confined just to little - tlo boys or to people In poor circum stances. 1 know of three sisters out In the East End who have all kinds of money and whoso wardrobes are In terchangeable. "Tho only objection to their plan Is that some of their neighbors have been observant enough to notice their exchanges. "Aside from these sisters I know a number of prominent Cleveland women who think nothing of borrow ing a gown apleco from throe or four of their friends when they are going away on a visit of a week or two. " Cleveland Plain Dealer. Where Woman Excels. "Woman's sense of color Is better than man's. Where ono In 30 women are slightly color-blind , ono In flvo men are so. " The speaker , a physician , continued his experiments with the tintometer , or testing machine. "You , " ho said , "can't tell green from blue , and are therefore defective , sir. But you are not absolutely color blind. Absolutely color-blind persons are very , very raro. I have met but one. Ho couldn't tell red from yellow low , or yellow from blue. "Why are men's eyes less reliable than woman's as regards color ? Some say It is the tobacco smoke that , dulls and weakens them. This may very well bo , for I have noticed that nonsmokers - smokers have a somewhat sharper vision. " Horse with a Speaking Tube. Perhaps the only horse in the world provided with a "speaking" tube dl rect from Its stall to Us owner's llv Ing apartments is Birthday , a hunter owned by Mrs. Walter Wadham-Potro of London. Hearing it neigh nt night sue concluded to liavo an arrange ment constructed so that she could speak to It from her rooms. "Now,1 sold she to a visitor recently , lifting up a trapdoor six inches square , which was hidden beneath a Turkish rug "when I say , 'Hello , boy1 ! you wil hear Birthday respond with a cheer /ul whlnnoy. " According to a writer In a London paper , no sooner had Mrs WadhanvPetro spoken than the horse sot up a series ot whinnies. HE THIRD ROUND 11Y CAROLINE LOCKHART ( Copyright , by J. U. Llpplncott Co. ) I It was not quite time for Moxle | Shoeshlno to struggle with tlio other , boyn In tlio banuniunt delivery-room of thu ( Juzuttu building for liln bundle I of ui'toriioon papers , HO lie out on' ' the curb and watelitd the girl who wan taking Block quotations from thu ticker in the roinposliig-room , the win dow being opii ! ) . lie hoped she might igiiln nod fiiiilllnjly at him , In which event , possibly , he might get up courage - ' ago to ask her. | "She ain't goln' to come , though , " 10 thought , duHpundontly. So he got up slowly and waa ono of the lust to get liln puperB , which wan not Ataxies' habit , AB usual , It \vuii late at night when he crept Into the dirty court where he lived rather i [ leaceably just now , Ills mother having been Komewhat subdued by n recent term In the UOUHO of Correction his' ' sister being "up" aa an "habitual , " I and his brothers and Bisters having' ' come under the fostering care of 'The Cruelty. " Ho crept out cautiously nt an early morning hour that he might spend j the more time sitting on the curb | and watched the Girl , who In smiling at him had fed a hungry little heart without realizing her bounty. That morning ho was again Im pressed with the whiteness of her collar , the beauty of her eyes , and the glory of her hair , his Intimate j knowledge of hair and eyes and gowns being gathered from the In-1 cessant red of his mother's eyes , her matted hair , and her greasy Mother Ilubbard. Hut ho resolutely refrained from thinking of his mother when lie was near this girl , lest It be sacri legious to the Girl. He frankly hated Ills mother and wished she was dead. "I'm Goln' to Put on DC Mlts wld Greeny Ike. " When he looked at the Girl , Moxie realized vaguely that he , himself , was not quite worthy to gaze at her. lie knew that ho swore , lied , stole , smoked cigarettes , and got drunk readily enough when the chance of fered ; and ho admitted to himself that these things could not be easily ex cused In n boy who was fully eleven years old. This morning the Girl , looking Idly out the window , saw once more a sandy-haired , ugly little gamin , with the face of an old man , and she smiled frankly nt him , not realizing how much it meant to him , but being Just happy herself. At that Moxlo came across the street and called up to her through the open window : "Say , ilpy's goin' to bo a good scrap down In de basemlnt when us fellers go for papes dls mornln' , " ho said , earnestly. "I'm goln' to put on do mils wld Greeny Ike , and fight him free rounds fer de eighty-pound chum- peensblp. Wo pulls off de fight at ten , before do first edition Is out. Would youso like to como down and see do scrap ? Do udder feller's blgger'n me , but maybe I kin lick him. " "All right. " the Girl called back , laughingly , "I'll como down. " The ring was roped off by tying stout packing-cord from post to post , and Moxlo was already In his corner when the Girl came In , to bo given a seat of honor by the young man who wrote the bulletins. Moxlo was promptly seized with stage-fright nt the sight of her so near him. Greeny Ike in the other corner looked ns big as a house , but Moxlo walked bravely over to shako hands with him at the order of the referee. He backed Into his corner again , not daring to turn around for fear he might catch her eye. eye."Time ! " yelled the referee. ' Moxle desperately shot out his thin arm and lauded a smart blow on Grecny's eye. There was no particu lar science about It , Greeny valiantly accepting the blow so ns not to delay getting in a smash himself. The crowd yelled impartially as the blows fell. "Punch him , Greeny ! " yelled n par tisan. "Swing your right , Moxlo I" advised n Moxle supporter. "Jolt him in the Jaw ! " suggested another eagerly. Moxto ducked ami danced , feinted and led , but his opponent did all these harder. When ttmo was called at the end of the three minutes , Moxlo felt ho had made n very bad showing Indeed before her eyes , and hlu spirits fell. The second round was worse , Moxlo being punished unmercifully. "Ah , ye'r' no good , Moxle , " said the crowd frankly. "Put him out , Greeny ! " All thumbs were down. Panting and grasping , Moxle sought his corner , to find that his seconds had deserted him , their loyalty being borne down by the weight of adverse public opin ion. "Third roundl Time ! " yelled the referee. Moxlo walked slowly from his corner , and Greeny promptly knocked him down. The crowd yelled In de rision. Slowly ho got to his feet. For the llrst tlmo he glanced towards the Girl. She was standing by her chair , now , and her eyes wore blazing with excitement. As she caught Moxle's despairing glance she called to him. "Don't lot him boat you , Moxlo ! " she cried In a shrill voice , very feminine amid the shouts of the crowd. What happened to Moxie can only be guessed at , but all know Just what happened to Greeny. Moxle became a tiger whelp In an Instant. He sprang at Greeny and smothered him with blows that came too hard and .with too great a recklessness to bo 'either parried or returned. Moxlo's face was white to the lips , and his eyes had the glint of steel. Greeny fought back in desperate astonish ment , but Mojde never felt any blows when they did land. Yell after yell went up from the frenzied crowd around the ropes. A sudden panic came over Greeny. Bewildered , help less to stop this sudden , mad rage of an opponent he had counted beaten , blinded by the ceaseless blows , he threw his arms over his face , turned , and ran to his corner , the referee fol lowing hastily to pull Moxle off from him. The referee led Moxle to the middle of the ring. "De eighty-pound champeen , gents , " said the referee , waving his hand at Moxle. Everybody howled and cheered , but Moxle heard , loudest of all to him , a giau little "Hurruu ! " irom tue piace where the Girl had sat. Moxle pushed his way in that direction through the boys that swarmed around him , pullIng - Ing off his gloves as he went. She was standing there yet , holding out a soft white hand. "First edition , boys ! " called the de livery clerk , but Moxlo went by him self to the seclusion of a packing-box , that he might realize fully how happy he was. STILLING WATERS WITH OIL Not Poured from Barrel Into Ocean as Supposed , But Placed In Bags at Ship's Sides. When the captain of a wave-beat- en ship pours oil upon the waters he does not empty a barrel of kerosene over the side. He stitches up throe or four cotton bags , which he fills with oakum and then with oil , usually equal parts of fish oil and kerosene. The bags are then tied tightly at the tops and pricked all over with n sail needle to permit the oil to exude , and are hung from the boat davits and weather chains to drop their mollify ing contents on the raging billows. The bags must not be allowed to get empty , but must be refilled every two hours. For six bags ten gallons of oil are used In thirty hours. Sometimes , If it Is very cold , the oil congeals and will not run out through the holes fast enough , and the mouth of the bag Is then loosened to let it escape in that way. Its effect Is magical on a rough sea. A huge comber will rise threat eningly to bury the laboring vessel under tons of water , but will strike a patch of oil no larger than a common dining table and subside in an in stant into a smooth , round swell , which the ship rides like a cork. The use of oil Is also a valuable , ald In wearing ship in a gale and high sea. A few gallons of paint oil over the leo quarter enables the ves sel to perform the maneuver In per fect safety without taking a drop of water on board. When a boat ships so much water that It Is impossible to get the oil bags slung Into position without running the risk of being swept overboard , an ordinary bed sheet saturated with paint oil , tied to a rope and allowed to float , will soon calm the seas suillclently to per mit men to move about the decks safe ly. Paint oil Is agreed to bo the best to use , rape-seed oil and porpoise rank next , but kerosene is not satis factory. The Secret of Old Age. A novel method of attaining longev ity was practiced by Mrs. Yetta Schulman , who died recently In New York at the advanced ago of 105 years. Mrs. Schulman paid no partic ular attention to points of diet , exer cise , sleep , etc. , which usually figure largely In rules laid down for those growing old. She believed that the lives of aged persons could be pro longed If they associated constantly , OB nearly so , with young people ; and she apparently verified her theory , for she spent the greater part of her time In company with children , oven taking part In their sports with live- ) jr Interest.

On her part , the wife comes to know values , and prices , and where and when and how to buy and such knowledge , such education comes chielly through reading and answering ads. "Household prosperity" is assur ed if the wife makes ad-reading a part of her daily routine. General Hardware 4 If you want the "best in the hardware line that money can buy , we can fix you out.
