"Chic'' and Slang.
Table Talk

To be chic in conversation is an at
tribute much admired in either the man
or the woman of society A generous
sprinkling of slang is permitted to en-
liven the small talk of the hour. and a
new phrase that is suggestive is
welcomed with positive delight
The latest that falls ON the
ear with somewhat odd effect is
''All in the soup. The expression Is
an elongated form OF the hitherto popu-
lar left. The unsuccessful sutton,
the defeated political candidate the Eek
ploded financial venture, the over1urn-

How to Make an .Eolian Harp.
Philadelphia Times

One of our girls asks us to tell her how
to make an eolean harp. The simplest
style of this melodious instrument is
that which fits into an ordinary win
dow frame. out of thin, well-planed
boards OF common wood make q box
as long as the windew for which il is in
tended is wide, four inches deep and five
inches wide. Cine the pieces together,
making the joints as true and clean as
possible The boards, by the way
should not be thicker than One-eighth of
an inch, and the more carefully you
make the box the better the harp will
be when il is done. Three inches from
each end of the box glue on bridge
for the strings 10 pass over The
bridges should be made of some kind of
hard wood. The strings are Of catgut
and are frightened by means OF pegs fitted
into holes bored for the purpose at each
end Of the box. Six or eight strings may
be used, and they should be tuned in
unison. Three inches above them place
thin board supported on four pegs, one
at each corner of the box Then put the
box in the window and bring down the
sash ON the upper board. The air passes
in and out between it anu the sounding
box, and the strings, being set in yihra-
ton by it, give of that soft, Iael0dieus
marmur for which the 8olian harp is
noted.

THE GROWTH OF JERUSALEM.
Who Are Erecting the Numerous New Buildings

Who Are Erecting the Numerous New Buildings
in the City.
The Neuest Nachrichten aus dem Nor
genland, German newspaper pub
lished in Palestine, states that the city of
Jerusalem Is growing in size and popula-
ton at remarkable rate. It's growth is
all the more surprising because neither
its situation nor its trade is favorable to a
rapid increase; it lies among not very
fertile group of mountains, it has next
10 no commerce, and it has no manufac-
tnres. Nevertheless, new buildings are
rising daily; churches, gardens and in
stitutes of various kinds are filing mp the
formerly desolate neighborhood to the
distance of half an hour 5 walk beyond the
old limits of the city The Jews are to the
front as builders. THEN houses spring out
Of the ground like mushrooms uniform,
ugly, one-storied, plentifuliy supplied
with windows, but with no manner
Of adornInent. The Rothschilds
have completed new hospital
Close beside it there is new Abyssinian
church. The Russians are also great
builders: they have erected a new church,
consulate, lodging houses for pilgrims of
the orthodox national churches, and a
hospital. Near to the Russian groupe
stands the German houses - for German
Roman Catholics, from whose top the
German and papal flags float side by side.
The Russians have also built a high tower
upon the Mount of Olives, from
whose summit the Medit erranean and
the Dead sea can both be seen. The
Greeks and Armenians are also busy
builders, but they provide for the bodily
rather than the religious demand of the
pilgrims. The former build cafes and
baZaars, and the latter set up shops.

swindle planned by the American Sugar

townships which voted bonds TO foster the
industry will lose nothing All
the bonds. 5000 in amount, voted
in Meade county, have been
cancelled and the scrip issued by the
various townships in Clarke county have
been destroyed, excepting $4,000 voted by

Cigarettes Ruined Little Johnny Barry's
Mind aad Body.
New York Word.
Just two weeks ago yesterday New
York boy named John Barry was taken
away from home in queer wagon that
rung bell as it rumbled along over the
rough streets The bell warned everybody
TO keep out of the way. A man sat IN the
wagon under the bell and held John Bar
rvs arms. The boy didn't know where he
was. The queer wagon was an ambulance
hurrying John to Bellevue hospital 10 see
if the doctors there could cure him. He
was in bad Way.
The borse-cars, trucks, carriages,
wagons and drays got OF the road when
their owners heard the ambulance bell
ring. They looked in and saw that some
body's Lad was in trouble there. They
didn't know what was the matter with
John. Nobody knew until the doctors
took him in hand.
Johns father is Leonard J. Barry, po-
lice officer in Leonard street. Mr.. Barry
was much grieved TO see his son go away
in this strange fashion. But he did not
try to punish or arrest the men in the am-
bulance. lie wanted John to go to the hos
pital. The reas on why good, kind father
felt that way about John was this; The
boy smoked FIVE packages OF cigarettes a
day. When he got 10 the hospital the doc
tor said:
His heart beats weak and low; his eyes
are SO duh he can see nothing; he Is so
weak he cannot raise his arm to bis head;
he has no appetite and doesn't like to play
with other boys
Johns father was distressed beyond
measure when he heard what the doctors
said. 1t was the awful mania for a cigar
ette. A great deal OF fun has been
made OF cigarette smoking. II Is
not funny. Poor John Barry's case
shows that il be had refused To learn to
smoke he would be a sound, wholesome
boy today. The doctors say he viii never
be able to do boys part or a mans part
in the battle of life unless he promises
and keeps bis promise never to smoke
a cigarette. This means life or
death TO John. He's gone now to live
among the crazy people. He knows, OF
course, that DIR. Wood and DIR. Hamilton,
or any other famous New York surgeon,
viii give him no other medicine but this:

Consul Rahden claims 70 have discovered
that large amount Of fraudulent Mexican
bonds are floating around in Kansas City,
and many persons IN Missouri and
Kansas have been vietimized. Thousands
Of dollars worth have been placed in the
two states named, and IN many instances
banks have been caught. The history of
the bogus bonds dates back in the early
sixties when the unsettled condition
of affairs offered an excellent oppor-
tnnity for the issuance OF fraudulent
securities. At that time over q million
dollars worth Of these bonds were issued.
Publicity was immediately given TO the
fraud and the disposal of them stopped for
the time. Recently they began to appear
again. One bank in the city has bundle
OF them, holding them as collateral for their
present face value, of several thousand
dollars, but are worth not a cent.
