She Had Found Him.

A pretty young mamma, with little girl
by her side nearly as pretty as herself, was
being entertained by male stranger, who
had struck up an acquaintance through the
usual and always convenient mediumship of
the little girl. He was one of those men who
think they know everything, but only rarely
get good chance to tell it. The lady an.
swered only in monosyllables. The little
girl listened patiently and demurely for a
time, and then began to fidget around in her
seat. Finally, as the stranger stopped for
breath, she said: -.......' ....
"Mamma, you've found one. amt you :"
"What, my dearP"
"Why, don't you remember what you told
papa when he said you'd be lonesome on the
cars You said you'd find some bore to talk
you to Sleep"
Mamma looked out OF the window and the
stranger suddenly thought he had better go
into the smoking car to find his friend. -.

The Birth Of Fashion.

Mime. de Pompadour once had an ugly
pimple on her chin. She was vexed, and, at
last, in despair, pasted a piece of black plas-
ter over the offending spot Result: all the
ladies in the court appeared the following
week with pieces of plaster on their faces. A
fashion was established, and it was kept up
for long time. The same lady, as suppose
you know, was exceedingly diminutive in
stature. To remedy this defect she invented
the high-heeled boots. They were unknown
before her time. Result: the ladies of the
court took to high-heeed boots, and another
fashion had birth
Marie Antoinette had enormous quantity
of hair. She didn't know what to do with
it. She was waiting for a barber one day
with the Intention of being shorn, and had
piled up her hair in a careless manner, when
she suddenly found that this style of head
dress set OH her small features to advantage.
Result: monstrously high couture came into
fashion, and were worn for very long time

arms. Result short sleeves came into fash.

the Alexandria limp became the height of
fashion" The "Grecian bend" was another
result of this unfortunate defect. Well, this
same noble lady had some slight deformity
in the neck which prevents her wearing
dresses cut low. Result: the fashion, which
still RACES among English ladies, for bodices
reaching almost to the ears, which fashion is
much ridiculed among the Parisians.

AS she surveyed her waddling brood;

But oh alas, how very sad!
When gentle Spring rolled round again
The eggs eventuated bad,
And childless was the old red hen!
Yet patiently she bore her woe,
And still she wore q cheerful air,
And said "'Tis best these things are so,
For babies are dreadful care!"

But meekly bowed to Providence

Counterfeits.

EDrroB GAZETTE The crooks of Uncle Sans
country are coming genuine counterfeit silver
coin at profit of y Per cent BY buying trade
dollars Mt 81 cents their market price, and remet
ing them. Ii Is curious that brokers and others
should use the term, genuine counterfeit but
that is the only way they can distinguish
the silver coin on which the government has had
the profit and that on which il has not.
Iais reasoning would bring all our silver money
under the category of genuine counterfeit as
the people have not had the profit on it. For this
We are indebted to the present administration.
The following is the paragraph TO which refer;
The Su's special from Boston says: business
men in this vicinity who handle large quantities
Of subsidiary silver coin, are considerably ois'
turbed by the occasional detection of genuine
counterfeit half-dollars, whchit is judged must
be in very extensive circulation. They call them
genuine counterfeit because when properly
coined they are identical in size weight and conf
position with those from the Government mints.
1t Is only by means OF an occasional flaw IN com
ING that they detected and il is therefore i'm
POSSIBLE to estimate tie quantity of them IN cir
culation Counterfeiting of this sort Is exceed
inGly profitable when done on large scale and
detection is practically impossible II the neces-
sary precautions are taken.
It is no. at all surprising that the crooks" who
recently stopped to cOunterfeitng pennies, should
make this q branch Of their work. The bullion
value OF 81 in subsidiary silver coin Is only ~ c.
and a p per cent margin of profit makes quite an
inducemsut to cJunterfsiters. Ii is believed that
most Of the metal used Is from remelted trade

Forestry.

An Exchange says; "The doctrine that forests
affect climate is every day receiving fresh proof.
The differences, whether in the shape of warning
or suggestion, arc of the utmost Importance. In
the last published report of the geological survey
of Wisconsin, DR.. Auders states that the average
exhalatiOn from soft thin-eaved plants, in clear
weather. amounts 10 ! i0z. for every square foot
per day of l. hours. Thus moderately sized elm
tree raises from the ground and throws off into
the atmosphere seven and three-quarter tons of
water a day, and a wood Of 1000 trees exhale5 at
least 5000 barrels of water in the same short
space Of time! Can we wonder that great climatic
changes occur when such organic agencies are re-
moved? The reverse Of this takes place when trees
are planted where none ever grew before. Thus,
the plains Of Colorado have only been planted for
five six years, and yet 1t Is stated an increased
rainfall has already resulted

mined with what you call 'shoddy.' short staple

fifty.
