Too Fresh.

Jones was sitting on the front steps OF an
Austin mansion one night waiting for his
sweetheart to come out She knew wha,
time to come, and Jones didn't wish TO ring
the bell for fear OF alarming the old folks
Presently he heard the door open, and the
old man muttered something about some
body's being too fresh"
"Did you address yourself to mel' asked
Jones, springing up with flashing eye
mo" replied the old gentleman, mildly
"I was speaking of the paint on he steps
1t was put there only this afternoon"

ment was true, and II only required about
two minutes for him TO reach his room and

She Hives on Dirt.

From the Auburn (Me.) Gazette.
 ''How much are slate pencilss' asked @ woman as she stepped into stationery store yesterday morning.
 s'Ten cents dozen."
 'sGive me one dozen."
 Then, unwrapping the package, she delib- .erately began to eat the pencils. Yes, eat them, not just chip the ends with her teeth as do school children, but biting off subs stantial quarter inch pieces and crushing and swallowing them with infinite relish. This was quite 8 remarkable achievement for a staid matronly person such as she appeared to be, and naturally she was questioned cons cerning this strange propensity. From what she said in reply it seems that this unusual system of diet was by no means confined to slate pencils. Gravel is staple article of food with her, properly strained and sssort- ed; oyster and clam shells and friable ssnd- stone she Inasticates as a man eats soda cracker and asks for more. She experiences an unexplainable craving for such matter and feels compelled to eat 1t. The odor of the dust raised in the streets by passing ve- hicles aroused in her much the same sensa- tion of unappeasab1e desire as affects the fumes of dram shop. There is nothing she likes better than to discover a nice retired gravel pit and reve1 in the consumption of it's products. ooh, how should like to 20 | to the seashore where there is lots of clean white sand" sighed she.

HELPS TO SAVING.

A great many men in this country have reason to be grateful to cooperative savings and loan associations, of which there are HOW about four thousand in the land. It is esti- mated that their accumulations of property represent $300, ,000 and that the amount which will be paid to them this year in dues will exceed $65, ,00O. .OO0.
 MT. Seymour Dexter in the Journal of Eco nomics tells more about these associations than has hitherto been generally known. The first one WAS organized in suburb of Phila- delphia in 1881; the second one was formed in 1S45, and from 1s45 to 1850 about fifty were created in Philadelphia alone. It is in this city and it's suburbs that these assooia. tions have always had the precedence and the savings of the working people through them in the State of Pennsylvania amount in a single year at the present time to over seven teen million dollars. In New York they suffered in the earlier days from insufficient legal protection, but since 1885 they have adopted right methods and there is 8 grow ing tendency to place them upon a secure basis. Their early history in Connecticut was unsatisfactory and in Massachusetts their early beginning did not meet the expectations of those connected with them; but in 1883 the legislature of Massachusetts amended the earlier act of 1877 for organizing these build ing clubs by changing their name to "eo- operative banks" and it is estimated that over $2, 2,000,0 ,000 will be paid into these banks in the form of dues in the present year. The first association in Maryland was formed in Baltimore in 1S46, and in 1888 there existed in the State 191, of which 158 were located in Baltimore. Ohio contains at the present time about 625. There are over 300 in Chi cago and over 200 in the remainder of the State. They are increasing rapidly in num-
 bers and popularity in Wisconsin. They have had such success in Minnesota that it is estimated that from 5000 to 10,C00 homes have been secured through their agency and their total number in the State Is believed to be over 100. In Indianapolis alone there are over 100 associations. Even the southern States have awakened to the value of this form of cooperation and there are large number of these associations in New Orleans. Of course these associations have had a pepArfnl~ inaasnos in encouraging thrift. The more there are of them the better.

The Christian Enquirer thinks that one of the latest proofs of the "indefniteness" of the term Christian" is seen in Poonah. The natives say of the total abstaining soldier: "They can't be Christians; they are SO good.
 The smart men are not all dead. One of them lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and he has instituted suits against forty railroads in that State to recover $500 each for failure to make reports to the governor of their con- dition, as required by an old statute, which has been entirely disregarded.
 One by one the old opinions go. Acoor- ding to recent statistics of Frederic H. Wines, an authority, it is affirmed that Ca very small percentage of crimes Is due to the use of alcoholic drink, and that there are few persons addicted to liquor among the recog- mixed criminal classes, while many of our worst criminals are total abstainers."
 A California philosopher evolves the the ory that the many diyorces in that State are due to the coldness of the climate and sthe high price of coal. In the evening, he says, it is so chilly that the husband and wife can't sit down comfortably as they do in the East, and with coal at $15 ton they can't afford to use it. So the husband gets into the same habit of going out for walk in or der to keep warm, and ths wife often gets into the same habit. Divorces soon follow. The proposed issue of an executive procla- nation granting amnesty to all deserters from the army up to the present time calls attention to the large number of assertions. Since the last proclamation of amnesty was issued on the 10th of October, 1878, there have been more than forty thousand deserts CTS, and Senator Plumb, who has become in- terested in the matter, finds that more than thirty-two thousand of them have never re- turned to the service, either by arrest oI voluntary surrender.
 A man in Rutland, Vermont, who believes | in having the laws enforced has discovered ca old statute of 1926, which was never re- | pealed, and which forbids the use, sale o1 gift in Vermont of any ''cracker, squib, ser pent or rocket" A petition signed by forty \ large property holders has been presented to | the authorities, requesting that the law be enforced on the Fourth of July. The en- l forcement of this law wouldn't entirely de i prive the Vermont boys of the privilege oi making noise on the glorious Fourth, but l it would hurt their feelings.

 Senator Edmunds, who knows something about such matters, says that South Dakota's State constitution is one of the best ever adopted by any State. It gives the suffrage to women in school affairs, and requires that an article giving general suffrage to women shall be separately submitted to the people. Special laws creating corporations are for bidden. Careful provision is made for the security of the school lands. The amount of the State debt, except in case of war, is limited to half million dollars. No county, city or town is permitted to incur debts to an amount exceeding five per cent of it's tax able property. The governor may veto items in appropriation bills. The legislature may not authorize the construction of street rail- roads except with the consent of the cities or towns in which the rails are to be laid. These are some restraints upon the legisla- tive power. In its provisions for the security of private rights of person and property and in the general framework of government the constitution is substantially like those of the older States.
