A Guests Ingenious Plan.


The story is told of young Boston Sales
man, who, going to tho mountains, found
there magnet SO strong that he lost account
or time, and at length was unable to re.
concile the expenses Of his prolonged stay
with the sum total of funds at his disposal.
Then again, were he obliged to leave his
trunk behind as security for the balance due,
he would arrive in the city with ward
robe almost as depleted as was that of the
famous Flora McElimsy, and the small
amount no would be able to set aside from
his moderate weekly salary would be SO long
in liquidating his summer debt that his case
was desperate ono, especially as no was
great dresser. To get the trunk from the
house without attracting attention, and con-
sequently preventing an embarrassing scene,
was an impossibility; to do without tho con-
tents Of the trunk appeared equally impos-
sible He was perfectly honest In his intent
to square his account of the earliest mo-
ment, but the dreaded interval that must
elapse was too fearful to contemplate, with
the prospect of his well selected wardrobe
about hundred miles away.
A bright idea entered his mind, affording
apparently the only way out of the difficulty.
He had been frequent sender Of souvenirs
of the mountains to distant friends He con-
ceived the plan of sending some TO his own
Boston address Gradually and stealthily he
shipped by piecemeal the contents of his
Saratoga, until tho latter was very thor
oughly denuded Of its chief treasures. A vest
went Bostonward by mail one day, coat
started In tho same direction by express tho
next, and 50 it continued until the work was
completed, the perfumed and gorgeous trunk
receiving as filling for the void that had
been mado q miscellaneous lot Of vegetation
and other stuff, which had to besmuggled into
his room as stealthily as his clothes hed been
srnuGglad out. Tho worl, being pleted
the delicate task OF Interviewing tho land-
lord, acquainting the latter with tho guests
financial embarrassment, and of propitiating
him by leaving tho trunk as security. was
finally completed. and tho trip made safely
homeward; but tho city holds at least one
returned mountain visitor whose mind is any
thing but easy, and who is practicing the
most rigid economy that he may cancel his
indebtness before suspicious examination
Of tho trunk may expose his plan of opera
tions. Boston Budget.

Urging a ruria, Reform.

There hos lately been good deal Of COM
plant about the mode OF burial in Jewish
cemetery on Long Island. The complaint is
that in many cases no collins are used. The
body is brought to tho grave in box, which
is opened beside the grave and the body taken
out. The box Is then taken apart and some
OF the boards put into the grave Tho body
is then placed on these, the other boards laid
over it, and the grave filed up. This kind
Of burial is said to be ''scandalous,n and also
highly Objectionable in sanitary sense, and
quite fuss is made about it In the neighbour
hood of the cemetery in question.
Very we'll But at the very time the fuss
is going on and getting into tho papers, a
meeting Of churchmen Is held In New York
to urge a "burial REFORM very closely re-
sembling the condemned custom in the jew
ish cemetery. DR.. Huntington, pastor of
Grace church, presided at the meeting, and
several other Episcopal clergymen were
present The practice Of inclosing the dead
in tight collins or Baskets, and then inclosing
these in strong boxes was declared to DO bad
in every way, as it arrests the quick decay
which the great chemist, Nature, intends
shall take place. One Of the speakers, de-
scriblng funeral customs, said that until the
time Of Charles III coflins were unknown
Bodies were laid on planks, with turf at
the head and foot, and the grave then closed
over them. So there does not seem to be
anything very shocking in the custom at that
Jewish cemetery, after all 1t is an old
English custom, rather than barbarous one
peculiar to the poorer Polish Jews. And, In
stead Of being bad in q sanitary way, the
clergymen appear to think 1t much better
than ours.--Eew York Cor. Detroit Free

various Sorts Of Ammunition.

There Is some talk of the adoption Of the
quick firing guns, which are aimed from the
shoulder, on board ship and In fortified po-
stions ashore where machine guns, properly
80 called, would not DO available. But it Is
not easy to guess where these positions are to
DO found, aud must humbly presume again
to call attention to the point which Ia TO me
moro obviously true than any other relating
to arms that the danger in multiplying sorts
Of ammunition Is one which ought never for
moment to be lost sight Of either by the sol
der, the engineer, or the administrator.
To put weapons carrying all sorts and sizes
OF ammunition into a given position Is to
weaken and not to strengthen 1T; and all peo-
pie who have tho welfare Of their armies at
heart should look, not only to the simplifica-
ton of arms. but as much as possible to the
uniformity Of ammunition. What Is wanted
Is machine which will pump lead such as
tho soldiers carry, and rifle which will
throw lead such as the machine guns pump
Then you do something to ease your most
troublesome and delicate organization In the
field-thnt OF your transport--the danger Of
complicating and overlooking which II needs
soldier to comprehend. London Cor. New
York Times.

Checks ON tho Metropolis.

1t must be remembered that tho tendencies
Of tho age, while leading people toward
towns, do not lead them to concentrate in any
single center, but rather to the creation Of q
series OF detached points Railways and
telegraphs make 1t easier TO live In cities, but
they also mako it easier to 60 away from
them and create new cities. New York Is
far less Of q metropolis on tho American con-
tinent than was the case forty years ago.
can remember when in travelling at the west
any Intelligent person would buy New York
daily paper twenty-four hours old in prefer
ence to any western paper Of that very morn
ing. The telegraph instantly changed all that;
the Omaha or Kansas City paper contains
substantially tho same Geographic news with
the New York dailies, and the latter have
shrunk TO q mainly local circulation. The
same process goes through everything, and
no matter how the self styled metropolis
grows, IL Is checked and limited BY all other
cities. The same thing is true, to smaller
extent, in England itself; the American wish
tor Is surprised to find that to know even tho
political currents Of the nation ono must
now look outside Of London; Edinburgh Is
reassertipg itself, while Manchester and Bir-
bingham have emphatically their own opin-
tonz w. HI In Hnrpers Bazaar.

1.-THE calculations are various as to the
number Of persons assembled on both shores.
Some estimate them as low as 1900 and
others at $4,000. The greatest body of people
were on tho American side. Goat Island for
q considerable distance exhibited a dense
column of persons, and the bridge erected
from Goat Island, which Is built hundred
feet over the rapids, was also crowded, and
temporary booths, made with the boughs OF
trees, skirted both shores. As we passed down
the Niagara we had full view of the whole
distance from Buffalo Of the hundreds of
vehicles of all descriptions passing towards
the falls, and as the weather has been uneoni-
monty hot and dry for long time the roads
presented uninterrupted columns of dust as
far as the eye could extend. In fact, 30
much larger was the assemblage than was
anticipated that, notwithstanding tho Pre-
prietors of the public houses had laid in an
unusual supply Of refreshments, they had
not provided sufficient for one-half the peo-
pie, and thousands were unable to obtain q
mouthful OF anything. You may Judge
Of the situation of matters when I as
sure you that | stopped at Forsyth's about
4 o'clock p. m, after climbing up his
everlasting steps from the bottom of the
falls, and was unable to obtain even cracker
.or a glass of water; and this was the case at
Browns also. On the American side, learn
that everything eatable and drinkable was
consumed before one-half the visitors had OBJ
tanned anything.
so well pleased are the people with this
grand and novel aquatic exhibition that
already they arc talking about getting up
something more splendid next year. In this
the tavern keepers and stage proprietors will
heartily join, as the present frolic has af-
forded them flne harvest for some time.n-

Every white man who has served under
the explorer Stanley speaks Of his remark
able taciturnity. In the years he was found
ing the Congo state stations no kept all his
plans to himself, and his assistants seldom got
an inkllng Of them until they were ordered
to carry them out Lieut. Coquilhat gives a
curious instance OF this characteristic. Quite
contrary to his usual custom Stanley one day
offered Coquilhat his choice in the director
ship of one Of two proposed stations that
were to be started at Lulanga and Ba- Ngala.
He told the lieutenant that Lulanga was the
center Of large and friendly populacc,
while the BaeNgala, though the most power
full tribe on the river, were audacious and ir-
rltGble, md his life would be in danger
emong them unless he acted with great dis
erection. Coquilhat told his leader to put him
where he could be most useful. Stanley said
nothing more, but Coquilhat soon after re-
ceived marching orders. Up the river they
started on their little steamer, and though
Coquilhot wondered greatly what station he
was to take in charge, Stanley did not drop
the slightest hint. 1t was not until after sew
eral days travelling the steamer passed Luz
langa without stopping that Coquilhat knew
that his fortunes were to be cast among tho
Ba-Ngala. --lSsw York Sun

II is not generally known, even by people
who have visited America, that there Is In
Pennsylvania, very near the cities OF Phila-
delphin aud Now York, a population Of more
than two million inhabitants which Is in
many respects strangely like what its rural
ancestors were In Germany moro than two
centuries ngo Some years since there were
to be seen in shop in Philadelphia several
largo books OF Lutheran devotion in the type
and spelling Of 1910, bound In deeply stamped
white vcllum, with heavy brass clasps. They
did not look like limitations OF old books
they seemed to BIO the thing itself--but the
date was recent. "They are for the Penn
sylvania Dutch,n said the bookseller. eThey
would not believe that the Lord would hear
them If they prayed to him out OF modern
looking book. And those books, as you sec
them, have been printed and bound In that
style for nearly two hundred years for the
Pennsylvania Dutch market just as they were
printed for their ancestors during the reform
ation.n
There isprobably no more striking instance
OF conservatism to DO found anywhere In
Europe than this; but the spirit manifested
by tho worthy "Dutchmenn Is carried out by
them consistently in everything else "Fol-
low thy father. good son, and live as thy
father before thee has DONE" is their golden
rule of life. Firstly, they always speak
among themselves singular patois called
Pennsylvania Dutch, from the word Deutsch.

VALUABLE CORRECTION of stamps.

The collection Of postage stamps recently
exhibited in Boston is said to DO worth nearly
100000. There were in tho collection single
stamps valued at 500 each, and several
groups Of six wero placed at $1,000. That the
prices wero not all fancy was shown by the
offer Of $50 from dealer for blue envelope
