She Swallowed tho Car Fare.

If there is any one thing that makes
custom of some folks of using their
mouths as purses for the car fares 1t is
a,great nuisance ia summer during travel
en- the open cars where the conductor has
a full complement Of passengers. A
Lewiston conductor says that children
are the worst. Some of them disgorge a
handful of change, and he has to accept
it. One day q very pretty young lady
who was a guest in Auburn from a Mas
sachusetts town, was coming down from
t.he lake. She was one of a gay party of
half dozen, and they made merry on
the down trip. When he was one seat
from her in his tour Of the car he looked
over at her. She was SO pretty he couldn't
help it. Just as he looked he was panied
to notice fearful change in her coun-
tenance. Her cheek blanched and she
seemed to choke. Her laugh died on her
lips, too, and she johed no more. Whe:
he got along to the party the young lady's
eyes were believed with tears II
had some money The conductor
with infinite tact says that he just passed
it along, saying: Il know all about it.
You've swallered it. / see you do it.
The young lady blushed and the car
ratified along. A child with five coppers
in its mouth is a fearful picture for the
Conductor, but what do you think Of one

Old Uncle Peter Simonson was, in his
day, one of the richest of ante-bellun
planters. He owned and worked more
than 300 slaves, and nearly all of the
river bottom lands along the Ocmulgee
river between HawkiDsville and Macon,
Ga, were tended by his men.
He was quite a sportsman and spent
the greater portion Of his time hunting
down the river. He had been born and
raised of poor parents right upon the
Indian frontier, when the Creeks held
the greater portion Of Georgia, and had
lived there all his life. I[e usually had
negro boy along with him when he
hunted to carry home bis game for him.
One day in the latter part of the year
1886, while hunting in the swamps about
six miles below Macon, his attention was
attracted by singular noise. He has
tened to the river bank, when something,
the like Of which he had never seen in
his life, came slowly around the bend
below him with fire and smoke and
much putting. He Jumped for his gun
and climbed the nearest poplar tree.
'Skin up that ar tree, Sambo," old
Peter yelled to the little darkies.
''All right, massa; what is itf''
Zone Of them ar tariffs I've hearn con-
gress hev been threatening to send down
to destroy our craps and eat Us up,
feathers en- ALL" He sat upon limb
with his rife in his hand until the
ching went out of sight around the
next point above him. 1t was the first
that came up the Ocmulgee as
far as Macon.-Detroit Free Press.

The Women or ,rapan.

The better class Of Japanese women
are by no means uneducated They re-
ceive, am told, better training than
the women of any other Oriental nation,
and they are better treated than those of
any other Asiatic nation. The Japanese
girl can, as rule, read and write ia
panese. She learns all about household
matters, and she takes the whole charge
of the household. This is her sphere,
and she is known as the honorable mis-
hess Of the household. Her husband has
no right to be meddling with the cooking
stove. She pays the servants and the
market bills. In the case of the poorer
merchants she often acts as one of the
clerks in the stores and takes the place of
the husband when he is not present.
In the country you will find her often
working in the fields, and at Nikko l
saw great numbers of women who acted
as the leaders of pack horses carrying
copper ind goods up and down the
mountains. Still, / think the women
here have an easier time than those of
the lower classes Of Germany or Hol-
land, and you see fewer labor hardened
faces among the other sex here than you
do in many. Of the countries of Europe.
The wife is, however, after all but little
better than the servant of the husband,
and the ties Of marriage and divorce are
here SO loose that he can dispense with
her at pleasure. Marriage in Japan is
not attended with the solemnity and re-
igious ceremony Of the American wed
ding. 1t is a civil contract, and the ne
gotiations for 1t go on, as a rule, through
the parents. The young man and woman
have no preliminary courtship, and the
seeing one another for one or two times
is the only chance they have of deciding
whether there is any compatibility Of
temperament.-Fra G. Carpenter.

PLAYING Cards.

The first pack Of playing cards of
which any copy is preserved was in use
in Venice in 1925, and contained seventy
eight cards in all, TWENTY-FIVE of which
were picture cards of very quaint char
acter. One picture card represented the
devil, another death. third the moon,
a fourth the sun, while the fifth depicted
the Judgment day. The Venetians called
it the game of tarots, and it was no
doubt the original parent of the modern
card pack, with It's kings, queens,
knaves, etc. The French developed the
game greatly, and it became the stan
dard pastime Of all the royal courts of
the Sixteenth century. Cards became so
prominent a feature of social life in
France that when the revolution came
new card packs were devised in which
kings and queens were done away with,
philosophers and popular heroes and
beroines taking their places.-Boston

Scientific Watch Stealing.

a prison official relates the following
story: when speaking one day to con-
vict, professional pickpocket, to whom
/ was giving a word or two Of friendly
counsel, l asked him why he could not
turn over new leaf and become an hon
est man. 4 could not, sir, he replied,
i must pick pockets. l would take your
watch tomorrow if l met you in the
strand; not, he added, but what I'd
give it back to you, for you've been very
kind to me Would you like 20 know
how TO prevent your watch being stolenY
he continued; Just let me have it for
minute Curious to learn a useful hint,
was about TO draw my watch from my
pocket, when found it was already in
this experts hands, without nv exper-
fencing tie slightest touch. He then ex-
planned to me that the most approved
method OF detaching a watch from its
owner was to hold the ring to which the
chain was attached firmly between the
finger and thumb, and then, with sharp
twist, snap the stee! pivot connecting
watch and ring. leaving the watch free

chain a dead loss to u.s. he added,
with cool efrontery. of six shilling He
then showed me that if the ring and
watch were connected by swivel Joint,
the difficulty of watch stealing would be
increased so much as to make it scarcely
worth the risk.h-London Standard.

The people Of Salt Lake City are con
templating the erection of q great ''salt
palace" 1t would be a structure that
would lay in the shade all the ice and
corn palaces ever constructed. The main
part of the structure could be of the
finest specimens of rock salt to be found
in the quarries. chiseled, carved and ar
usticaNy arranged, while the interior
fittings should be of crystallized work
from the lake on grand scale. Such a
palace should be permanent if properly
protected from the winter rains; it could
be made Of the most unique and striking
style of architecture; it could be made
one of the wonders of the world. When

A Friendly Sheikb.

When the Prince of Wales was travel,
ing in the Eoiy Land with the late Dean
of Westminster, the royal party came
one day to the banks of Jordan. AS they
sat at meat in the tents they beheld a
number of mounted Arabs riding down
to the ford, headed by their sheikh.
Presently an Arab messenger arrived at
the tents. and his message was that the
sheikh desired to see Dean Stanley. The
small but courageous dean at once arose
and walked down unarmed to the inter-
view. The sheikh, who had dismounted,
advanced with dignity, laid both his
hands on the deans shoulders, and be-
holding him steadfastiy, said these
words: Arthur Penrhyn Stanley" The
dean looked up and saw that
that Arab chieftain was William Clifford

Royal "Tips."

The custom of giving tips is of royal
origin. 1t was soon adopted by the no.
bility, and then by persons who wished
to travel in regal splendor. Tips were
presumed to represent the kind of con-
sideration due to persons in the lowest
walks of life from those of noble birth or
occupying exalted stations. The prac-
tice of giving them is entirely out of
place in this country. Here every person
is presumed to be equal in rank. We
have no privileged class and no servile
one. Nearly every one works for pay
and receives wages for his labor. De
manding gratuities or showing resent
ment if they are not voluntarily given is
an imposition or an insult.-Chicago
