A Gloucester fisherman, one of the protestants again the fish claus- in tho Canadian Reciprocity hill. v. as talking about fish in Washington. "These balloonlsts and aeronauts," he. said, "think they are verv clever with their sand ballast, but by crlnus, the codfish has been using sand ballast since before the flood. Whenever there's a terrible scarcity of cod. what few you do catch have sand In their stomach. Why? to weigh them, so that they can sink down to deep water where their friends are. Yes, sand filled cod means scarce fish. It means that the cod for some reason or other are swimming deep, their stomachs ballasted with sand to keep them down." Dick In a Crowd.

Oeep'ucks, Who Has Served Before he Mast, Cites Some Examples of Their Queer Actions Can't Understand Them. The conversation had been of the sea and ships and naturally enough it included sailors. No one professed to be able to comprehend that breed of men. Seme one asked Decplucks, who once shipped before the mast, what he thought of his fellows at tho time. "Why, I didn't understand them," Deeplucks answered. "They were' childish and villainous by turns. "The only old-time sailorman skilled in intricate knots and splices was a Dutchman by birth. He was a quaint sort when he wasn't terrifying. He had been guilty of murder and I don't know how many other crimes, but in tho heat of a fo'c'sle argument I once heard him say to another man: "'Now. you was all off? No, sir, I tell you Portugal is wrapped around by Spain like as a baby cuddles In Its mother's lap.' "Rather pretty language. I thought it. for a murderer and an illiterate fel low. Yet the next day he tried to put me over the side from up aloft. "The skipper was a Welshman. The ship was beclanied in the tropics and this round tub of a man strutted to and fro on the poop deck, standing still every other minute to gaze at the brilliant sky and elaculate: "'Blow! Blow! Damn ye. why don't ye blow?' "The man at the wheel was a negro criminal. He stood the cursing awhile, and then with a look of cold disap proval said: "'Cap'n. yo bettah stop dat. Yo' gwine git all do wind yo' want!' "Our sailmaker was also a Welsh man, a man past seventy, who had been fifty years at sea and had been dismasted off Cape Horn in his time. His knees shook under him. but in him burned all the fires of youth, all the energy of Celtic blood. Poet he was. of course, by virtue of his race He pumped the fresh water and was in a frenzy if he spilled a drop. One day he took a stroke too many with the pump handle. He drew in his breath with a hiss, uttered an intense oath, then both his voice and feeling underwent instant change. He mur mured: " 'We are wasteful children.' "Pure poetry, that. I reckon. Xo. I don't understand sailorraen." Would Prevent Blindness. San Francisco club women have or ganized a society for the prevention of blindness.

Once All Boys Wore Them, They Are Seldom Seen, Says Oldefay. Now "Why," said Mr. Oldsby, "why, Td (Ike to know, don't boys wear tippets any more? When I was a boy every boy wore a knitted wollen tippet Some of these were white, some of them were red, some of them were of mixed colors. Some were finished with fringe of the same material on the ends, more of them had on each end a tassel made of the wool; the fringe used to get ragged with wear and rough handling or one or both of the tassels on a tasselled tippet was sure soon to get torn off. "Many of these tippets that the boys wore were knitted at homo by their mothers; many of them were bought in store; every dry goods store kept tippets, you could always see a line of them hanging up in the store; and in those days every boy wore one. They would take a turn or two of their tippet around their neck and then make one loose tie in it not a knot, and let the ends hang down from front or hack. See a lot of boys in winter going to or' from school or but sliding down hill or skating and you'd see around the necks of these boys as many tippets. "But where are tho tippets now, and why did the boys stop wearing them? Boys are not any hardier now than they used to be, aro they? Or did they come to think that tippets looked girlish, 6lssiQed?H SURE TEST OF GOOD MAN One Who Will Stop to Let Boys Hitch Their Sleds to His Wagon. We say he is a good man who will stop and let the boys hitch their sleds to his wagon. Wo saw one the other day. A big smile that seemed to warm the air around broke from his face as he waited for the boys to hitch on. Tho clatter they made and their happy voices were as music to his soul. Then he drove on, looking back to see that all was going well. Ho re membered he was a boy once, and how much delight there was in hitch ing on and being pulled. At times he would laugh outright Ho forgot the $72 he had in his pocket, tho pro ceeds of two swine that he had hauled in. His heart was on bigger things making others happy. And he thought of his own boy back at home, how ho would enjoy being with those boys, and he wished he was. And so he rode on, smiling and look ing back, and occasionally hitting the horses to make the sleds jerk, and hear tho boys shout their happiest, when they held on the tighter or dropped off in the snow and raced again to get a tighter grip. There is a scene that beats a banquet or an inauguration out of all reckoning, and there is in that wagon an old man who Is one of the princes of man kind. Ohio State Journal. London's Overhead Fog. The partial fogs in which certain portions of London have been sub merged during the last week or two culminated yesterday In a black pall, which covered tho metropolis and tho suburbs for a radius of from six to seven miles. It was of the variety known as the "ot-erhealed fog.' blot ting out the light. of the sun. but bringing none of the unpleasant con sequences associated with tho Lon don "particular." Tho air near tho ground was fairly clear, even when day was turned into night. As is usual In such circumstances, tho can opy of fog was of varying density. Though there was a dead calm as far as the tops of the highest trees, cur rents of air higher carried the smoke jiall, now In one direction, now in an other. To this reason were duo tho curious effects produced of twilight suddenly merging into complete dark ness, which was exchanged half an hour or so later for a piebald dawn. London Chronicle. Bagdad From a Distance. Those of us who can think of Bag dad only as the magnificent city of Haroun-al-Raschld can hardly be ex pected to welcome the now Interna tional railway scheme. Let Bagdad re main forever Inaccessible, except in dreams. But should tho worst happen o Bagdad and tho tomb of Zobeido be come the shrino of British tourists the old city will have to undergo a few re pairs. For.it is safe from neither plague nor flood. In ono of tho .lisas. ters of tho last century the plaguo car ried on: 4,000 people daily for many days, and jealous Tigris overflowed its banks and destroyed several thousand houses and drowned 15,000 people. Like most Oriental cities, Bagdad looks her best from a distance. You miss the filthy, narrow streets, where two horses can hardly walk abreast, and behold a vision of luxuriant date groves, out of which rise little Islands of green domes and graceful minarets. In the days of its splendor the East India company maintained in the an cient city of the Caliphs a resident, with a generous establishment; nowa days tho British are content with the usual modest consular service. Motor Car Cure for Whooping Coughj. Thes favorable effects of a change of air in the later stages of whooping cought are well known and Dr. Manuel Rodriguez Portillo, in Cllnlca y Labor atory, states that these results can be even bettered by ordering such pa- iienis to indulge in motor drives. He imposes certain conditions, how ever, namely, that a clear, mild day be chosen for the excursion, a good level road selected, a speed of six and a half miles an hour never exceeded and that the child be placed on the front seat of the car, next to tho chauffeur. He attributes the beneficial effects of this treatment to the Increased depth of the pulmonary respiration thereby induced tacting as a sort of sweeper out of the respiratory passages as well as to the tonic and stimulating action of the fresh air breathed. Tho appetite and blood forming powers of the system are also increased, Kriflf(f(lfrHf(((Ki Tht Franklin M'dse. Co. (Not Inc.) Ladies and Men's Fine Tailor Made Suits and Top Goats ift tfc lb S 612 ;West 12th St. g y, Columbus, Nebraska SHIRT-BUTTONS FOR TEETH Ingenious Old Woman Hand at a Little Dentistry. Tries Home Her Shoe-button eyes are frequently seen on the woolly dogs, cats and other animals sold for toys, penwip ers and pincushions, but shirt button teeth worn by a human being are a decided novelty. Tho only set ever made is worn by an old woman living in Fittsfield, Mass. Finding herself unablo to buy a new set of false teeth she was driven by necessity to make them. She had worn for many years a gold plate, a relic of more prosperous days. This plate bore only four teeth, two on each side. In course of time her remaining front teeth fell out and she decided to try her hand at a little home dentistry. With infinite caro and trouble sho drilled eight 'tiny holes in the plate by means of which she firmly attached four white bono buttons of the proper sizo to it with strong linen thread. The "makeshift" teeth," as she called them, were a great success, and when fitted in place in her mouth It took a second glance to tell how they differed from the or dinary dentlst-mado molars. As the edges of tho buttons wear away with use she turns them upside down. When one is accidentally broken it is easily replaced, as she keeps a stock of bone buttons on hand for the purpose. STYLE IN ENGLISH NECKWEAR Broad-Ended Tie Has Been Rage for Half Decade and Is Likely to Continue. For tho last half decade tho broad ended tio made from the piece has been the rage in England, and haber dashers will not look at anything else. Its vogue is likely to continue for another year or two, particularly as it is to tho interests of both manufac turers and dealers to keep it going as long as possible. This typo of tio has a maximum length in England of 42 inches, the average for such four-in-hands being 35 to CS inches. A good grade of Irish poplin tubu lar tie retails at about 59 cents, the highest quality Irish poplin, however, which comes In the piece, when made up, retails at about 75 cents. Other styles aro priced at 60, 45 and 35 cents, and ties of these classes are to be found in the men's furnishings stores of any of the larger British cities. Wholesalers pay about $2.90 per dozen for tic3 that retail at 45 cents each, and sell them to the deal ers at $3.40 per dozen, Ies3 two and one-half per cent. LEARNING AMONG THE SCOTS Many a Man Who Never Had Any "Schooling" Gets Surprisingly Good Education. Many a man who nover had any "schooling" gets an education, and often a surprisingly good one. A traveler in Scotland onco met a farmer whose ground rent was about $20 a year and who wrote poetry in Gaelic that was of high order. This same traveler met a youth In Scotland who rode from home on horseback to the seaport and then across Scotland to Aberdeen, whero he sold his horse to enter tho univer sity. It is related of another Scotchman that he was overheard repeating a line of Tennyson, whereupon some ono asked him what poet he liked best "Homer," he replied. "Whose translation do you read?" "I rarely read a translation," ho said, wiping the fish scales from his apron. "I liko best to read Homer in the original Greek." The Bending of Big Guns. Among the problems with which army and navy engineers havo to deal nowadays is that of the drooping of the muzzles of excessively long guns under tho stress of their own weight. Experiments havo shown that wire wound guns of 12-inch caliber and 50 feet length droop at the muzzle about four and a half minutes of arc, while built up solid guns of tho samo sizo droop about two and a half minutes. Differences or temperature in the body of the gun also cause bendings, which may either increase the droop at the muzzle or counteract It, accord ing as it Is tho upper or under part of the gun that has tho higher tem perature. In consequence of these distortions projectiles on leaving a gun have a wabbly motion, continuing up to 500 j-ards. and probably more. Youth's Companion. Injury in Innovation. Humanity, in ages of experience, has learned that any radical change or decided innovation may mean some great Injury to the whole tribe or race. So human beings have first their curiosity aroused by the un usual, and then come fear and hate. It Is certainly no new thing for women to wear trousers. However, at some or many periods in the history of hu manity women have introduced as fashion some absurd similar style, and the race has been greatly damaged thereby. And that may be why the crowd resents trousers for the women. Instinctive resentment here may bo In the brain of the race, rather than In the individual brain racial mem ory of the effect on men of women wearing the trousers. DRESSMAKER AND NOVELIST Unable to Spell, Marguerite Audoux, a Paris Seamstress, Yet Writes a Most Remarkable Book. r M. Octave Mirbeaa dlscovered-Ma-rlce 'Maeterlinck. He has now discov ered aa illiterate seamstress who is a novelist of genius. Marguerite Audoux. She never learnedhow to write; does not know how to spell; but she has written a remarkable book, "Marie Claire." She earned her living with' her needle and thread, and in her Bhort Intervals of leisure write her autobiog raphy. Her sight falling her, she had to give up sewing, and, to keep the wolf from the door, thought of turning ber MS, to account The late Charles Louis Philippe, himself a novelist who described the life of the poor with much power, read her manuscript, and advised her, above all, not to try to learn stylo, but to go on writing as she bad before. He took her MS. to the Countess Mathieu de Noailles, but the latter was "scandalized by the bad spelling," and poor Charles Louis Phil ippe died when still a young man. Mirbeau has now taken up the seamstress-novelist, and her novel has just been issued, with an enthusiastic pref ace by him. I have just read tho book, and am amazed by its literary finish. Everyone who has ever read the writ ing of beginners knows that their over whelming fault is to say too much. To say just enough is probably tho height of art Marguerite Audoux, the illiter-j ate seamstress, almost reaches it In' her novej, which Is just the plain, pathetic, and often tragic account of her own life, sho never says too much. To tell a really unvarnished talo is, as every writer knows, tho most difficult task of all. If no one has pruned her novel and we aro positively assured' that no one has touched her MS. be yond correcting the spelling Marguer ite Audoux is all unconsciously a suc cessful disciple of Guy de Maupassant It is said that tho Academy of Ten, founded by Edmond de Concourt, thinks of awarding her its annual prize. RIDING IN AN AEROPLANE James Hopper Describes His Emo tions During His First Flight Through the Air. James Hopper, who rode as a pas senger in an Antoinette aeroplane, thus describes his emotions in Every body's: "And then good Lord, what is that! At first I thought that we had struck an abandoned quarry and were hurtling through a pile of stones. Tli en. more plausibly, that we had passed from the grassy plain to a road of torn-up macadam. But neither of theso suppositions answered quite the question put to me by my senses. Wo seemed to roll on a medium singu larly hard. Hard and smooth, and yet sown with roughness. It felt as If wo were upon a road of adamant laid upon the bedrock of the earth, and as if upon this adamantine road peb bles hard and faceted liko diamonds had been strewn. Upon the hard. smooth substance the machine glided level, but excited to a furious trepi dation by tho bristling diamonds. 'Wo are going through a rock pile.' I said to myself, returning to my first "un satisfactory and yet more plausible supposition. We were flying, by Jove! That was the meaning of this hard going, this tremendous trepida tion. From the gentlo earth we had passed to the ways of tho air. That adamantine, resilient and diamond bristling surface upon which wo rode now, it was the azuro of tho skies. It was ozone. It was ether, it was every thing that is hazy and Impalpable and blue and it felt like metal, like rock, like chrome steel, like the compressed bowels of some planet smashed be tween two suns. I was flying, and it was like drilling. I was feeling tho earth, and the earth was following me. jealous and vigilant, gripping me, stubbornly and Implacably, with Its earth sensations. ORIGIN OF A SLANG PHRASE "Bughouse" Started When a Telegraph Operator Found His Apparatus Short-Circuited by a Bug. "Slang, tho German word for snake, creeps into our language in spite of our vigilance." writes a correspondent of tho New York World. "To illustrate: Some five or six years ago a certain telegraph operator. Joe Lilly. In a large Baltimore office, called up Cincinnati by telegraph, hut could not make hlm Belf understood, although he could eas ily understand the message sent him. Then he called up other cities with tho fame result. Evidently something wa3 wrong, so lie notified tho electrician, who on opening the box containing tho transmitting apparatus found a hug which in the course of its wanderlust had short-circuited tho machine. "Tho other operators gave the victim a horse laugh for having a 'bughouse' transmitter. Even the messengers ac cused each other of being 'bughouse and inside of an hour It was flashed from one city to another. But after a while a race of employes sprang up who know not Joseph, and to these the word bughouse' conveyed not much meaning. "Could 'bughouse' compete with crazy?' Well, for a time, 'bughouse had 'crazy beaten, but a reaction set In when some miscreant composed tho ditty, 'I May Be Crazy. But I Ain't No Fool.' That put a quietus on 'bug house' a consummation devoutly to be wished." Leper Colony of Molokai. "The leper colony In Hawaii has not grown "any the last several years, said O. B. Thomas of Honolulu. "In fact the number of lepers confined on the Island of Molokai has been de creased by tho discovery that some of them were not suffering from the dis ease. "The district In which the lepers i i a . by a high range of mountains and the lepers have a regular municipal gov ernment cf their own.

"That man once invented a great labor-saving device that he expected to make him rich, but his hopes all came to nothing." "What was it?" "It was a contrivance for riveting little knobs upon th-; stingers of honey bees, thus rendering them harmless. He got his idea from seeing a cow with knobs on her horn3 to prevent her from goring."

Year Of tho list of materials most gross ly wasted in America each year car oil and corncobs arc quito near the head of the column, it is estimated that there are 10.249.4G2 car wheels in the United States, counting those on the freight and passenger cars and tho locomotives. Theso require 30 gallons of oil a year each, on an aver age, making the grand total of 307, 483,860 gallons used to keep running the wheels in this important branch of commerce. To soak up this vast amount of oil 51,217,310 pounds of cotton waste are used. In a demonstration of what goes to waste in this manner, 60 pounds of oily refuse was subjected to pressure and over seven gallons of good oil was collected. An average of eight gallons of oil squeezed from each 100 pounds of waste means a total value or $1,366,595 in a year, which Is decidedly worth saving. Discarded corncobs are another neg lected sourco of wealth. Theso can be converted into wood blocks in many forms, tho most valuablo of which are lumber, railroad ties and the basis of many kinds of furniture. The corn crop of last year produced approximately 1,650,000.000 bushels of cobs. These pressed Into board would yield many million feet of lumber; into tio they would make enough In number to supply several thousand miles of railroad. The Latter-Day Style.
