''Well, this house bought a job lot of
pOrtemonnaieS last spring, and we got
'em 50 cheap that we could almost give
them away \ few days ago l took it
into my head to see how many of our
customers were honest, and | stuffed Il

by the very first lady who discovered it
and she is tine wife of man worth $50,

And the neXt?'
''Well, we lose an average of twenty
portemonnaies day. That means we
have twenty women come in here who
are thieves, for it is theft to gObble up
lost or mislaid property without saying
anything about it.
1T must be interesting TO watch 'em:'
SIT is. Now and then a woman will
observe the article and hand it over to
the clerk, but that is an exception. l

''Where is it?''
'Why, on 4 slip of paper stuffed into

She was well-dreSSed and respectable
looking lady. She had pOrtemOnnaie
in her hand and a smile on her face, and
as she came near she sweetly said:
BEG pardon, but in trading here this
morning l accidentally picked up this
purse in some way. presume it con-
tains money. have not even opened it.
Please tell the loser that it was all mis-

''Very well, ma'am."
THAT was well DONE" said the re-
porter.
''YeS, fairly well, but it's the story
they all tell. She opened the portemOn-

play off innocence in returning it. We

Honduras.

i This State Is situated in the central
portion Of Central America. 1t con
tains in round numbers $4,000 square
miles of territory, at least one-half oi
which is composed of mountain ranges
and tall foot hill ridges. 1t is washed,
on the western coast, by the long rolling
billows of the Pacific Ocean. and on the
eastern and northern side by the placid
waters of the Caribbean Sea.
The entire republic is reticulated by
hundreds OF perennial streams Of water,
which, though serving for irrigatlng
purposes and for watering stock, are
with but few exceptions naylgable. Ii
is probable, however, that the Patook,
the Ulya, the Planco and the Chemili-
con might, with but little expense, be
made navigable for many miles into the
interior.
On either coast, for a distance of per-
haps forty miles into the interior, a
mild type of intermittent fever prevails
during the rainy season. This fever is
easily broken by treatment, and seldom
attacks those who use ordinary precau-
tions more than once.
At a distance of, say, forty miles
from the coast the land suddenly attains
an altitude Of about 2J00 feet above the
level of the sea, At this altitude mala-
rial fevers, bronchitis, consumption,
diptheria. etc., are unknown, while in
valids suffering from any OF these CON-
plants readily achieve a euro in the
semi-tropical climate that prevails du-
ring the entire year.

HOW GLYCERINE Is MADE
And the Large Number OF Uses 70
Which IL Can Be Put.

The consumption of glycerine for
medicinal purposes. arts and manufac-
lures has gref .ly increased in the past
few years, said a merchant recently.
AS you are probably aware, " he con-
tinued, ''crude glycerine is the by-pro-
duct of the manufacture of candles.
TallOw or other animal or vegetable fats
are saponified, with the addition of
water, under heat and high steam pres
sure, in closed tanks. The neutral fats
separate into fatty acids and glycerine.
which latter remains dissolved in the
water. The solution of glycerIne thus
formed is concentrated and sold to re-
finers. Some of the latter in order TO
cheapen the process of refining bleach
their half-refined product by means Of
vegetable or animal charcoal. This alb
serbs the color and also some of the acids
still in the glycerine, rendering it for q
short time inOdOrOuS and almost color
less but the seeds of further decompo-
sitiOn are not removed, and i'll time the
acids still contained in the glycerine
oxydIze and the glycerine becomes off
color 1t should properly be distilled
until the last trace of impurities is Te-
moved, when the glycerine becomes
chemically pure, inOdOrous and color
less
''IIOw many manufacturers of glycer-
inc are there in the country"

natl, one in New York and one IN Phil
adelphia Competition has shaTpened
the wits of our manufacturers and re-
suited in many Improvements in appa-
Tatus and manipulatiOn-sO many, in
fact, that you would hardly recognize
rs glycerine the first article of that name
produced in the country. There are also
numerous foreign glycerines, principally
German, in the market. | will tell you
an interesting fact in regard TO glycerine
'When concentrated glycerine is ap-
piled undiluted to a chapped or ulcer
ated surface it produces burning SEN
SatiOn, which to some persons is almost
unbearable. The reason is glycerine has
strong affinity for moisture; it takes it
from the skin and thus gives rise to the
burning sensation. If small quantity
of water is added TO the glycerine before
it is applied this unpleasant effect will
be observed but little, if at all. -
Z" What are the principal uses of g'y-
cerlne?"
1T is used in the manufacture of ce-
ment, soap. backing and many other ar
ticles, and in the Improvement of wines
According to the Investigations of Pas
teur, NesSler and POhl, it is a cOmpo-
nent part of wine II does not ferment
or take part in the process of fermenta-
ton, actively or pas5ively. These yalu-
able properties have given it a firm hold
i'll the improvement of wines. As soon
as wine has passed the fermentation the
valuable functions Of glycerine COM
mence, for by its aid any desirable de-
gree Of sweetness can be impaired to the
wine without the risk of spelling il or
producing further changes. Glycerins
is also largely used in preparing leather,
and by tobacco manufacturers to keep
tobacco from getting dry. These are

THE SENSATIONS OF HANGING
A Experienced by Member of tho "sui'

A Experienced by a Member of the sui

Max o'Rell's Ietterl
A crazy Briton belonging to the "Sui-

existence. has published in The Pail Mall
Gazette the sensations of hanging He
has actually tried it before the members
of the club 1t will be pity If his mar

wholesome terror which the rope has
hitherto inspired. AMI fear it may in.
duce some silly people to try hanging as
substitute for opium At first there
was great jerk, and he felt violent
pain in his neck but after he lost con.
seriousness the proceedings became quite
pleasant "He seemed to be transported
into new world. more beautiful than
anything imagined by the poets He was
swimming, he Thought, in sea of oil
The feeling was exquisitely delicious.
AS he swan easily and without effort
through the liquid mass he noticed afar
off an island of the most glorious emerald
green in color The sea kept every in
slant changing its hue. AT one moment
1t was mass of gold. as though the sun
were shining brilliantly on it The next
instant 1t was vivid blood red; but there
was nothing terrible or disgusting in this
new color. In fact 1t kept changing to
all the hues of the rainbow, yellow and
red being the predominant tints He got
nearer and nearer to the island As he
approached 1t there sprang out suddenly
from the ground great number of people
whose faces seemed known to him.
At last he reached the land Then
magnificent chorus of voices, human.
and those of birds, burst forth He
closed his epes in ecstasy. He hoated
calmly on to the shore, and lay as child
in its cradle, slightly weakened from the
enervating effect of the oily matter In
which he had been swimming. At last
he opened his eyes. The magic charm
was at once dispelled. The divine har.
mony ceased The faces were still peer
ing at him with an expression of eager
curiosity, but he perceived that they be
longed to the members of the club. The
pain in his neck was great, 1t appeared,
but be was now in entire possession of his
lenses. His friends cut him down, and
he was able to tell them at once his ex-
periences. Although he drew charming
picture of the bliss which he felt, no
other member would try his experiment
His look was quite CHASTITY. To the best
of my belief this lunatic is still at large.

How One Discovery Leads to Another
Boston TRANSCRIPT


When. some years ago, the masonry of
the quays in Seychelles island was found
to be constantly needing repairs at great
expense. in consequence of the deteriora-
ton due to heavy seas a plan was devised
for protecting the portions exposed to the
ton of the waves by palisade of BAN
boo canes, the space between being filled
with the fiber forming the husk of the
cocoanut The coffer.dam was found to
behave like sponge and offer the most
effective shield to the masonry
The great success of this expedient has
led to some experiments which have been
conducted at Toulon. with a view of util-
iztng coffer-dam construction as pro.
tective against shells and torpedoes in
naval warfare. and with result which
seems to indicate what may become q
very extensive employment for the Co
coanut fiber, which has already found
so many uses in commerce.
