Trunks.

Somebody who wants to buy a
cheap trunk asks nie every day if ]
haven't one to sell. They think, you
see, that the hotel must have a lot of
trunks left by guests who couldn't pay
their bills, and that the house would
be glad to get rid of them. All that is
true, but then the trunks can't be sold.
There's no telling what trouble would
follow when a man came around 10
pay HE bill and get lis trunk and
found it gone. knew a hotel man in
st. Louis once who sold two trunks be-
longing who had left the house
owing a bill. The fellow came around
afterward, demangcd bis trunks and
then sued the hotel. He claimed that
the trunks were valuable, aud he got
$1,000 from the hotel. That has set
the example in ST. Louis, and trunks
are how kept for years aud then gold

. The yield Of shad is something ire
mendous. Mr.. Edward Winslow, who
in 1920 owned Daniel Webster's farm
at Marshiield, writes: "We manure
the ground with herrings, or rather
shad, which we have in great abund-
ance at our door"
In the early part of the century shad
was 50 cheap that they sold for ten
cents apiece. The increased price Of
shad has led 10 the belief that the yield
has decreased. This is a mistake. II
is the population that has increased,
and facilities for transportation have

Ioui, XIV and Mas.illop.

With all his faults Louis XIV knew
how 10 conduct himself as a great
king; among his other qualities he
was a master of the art of paying
noble compliments. On one occasion
he Stood at the top Of the grand stair
case TO receive the heroic Condo after
the battle Of Senetf. 1874. The prince,
then in his tifty-fourth year, was
troubled with govt, and assembled the
stairs slowly. When he reached the
top he apologized for keeping his ma.
jesty waiting so long. My cousin"

Preserving Fabrics from Decay.

A Belgian chemist has, according
to The Textile Manufactures, discov.
cred a meaus for rendering fabrics, no
matter how delicate in texture or color,
proof against the ravages of decay.
The wonderful state Of preservation
which the head bands Of Egyptian
mummics exhibit is due 10 their hav-
ing been impregnaied with "A kind Of
resin. This led the inventor to make
certain experiments with tie substance
extracted from birch BARK, 10 which
the peculiar aroma of Russian leather
is due. and he found out that the
green tar which was left over after the
oil used in tanning had been extracted
from the wi lie bark of the birch tree
yields neitl er acid nor alkaloid, aud
that in sol ,tion with alcohol il forms
a liquid o remarkable tluidity with
the powei of resisting, when once
dried. even the action of alcohol itself.
This substance will, it is said. unite
with the most delicate and brilliant
colors, and render them imperishable.

How to Eat Grape Fruit,

When the remedial virtues of the
grape fruit of Florida are as well
known as they should be, the fruit will
be used by that large class of people
who find something of a tonic nature
essential to their good digestion. No
one can fail 10 benefit by eating an or
ange before breakfast every morning.
The grape fruit has all the good quail
ties of the orange in an increased de-
gree. Many people 10 whom | have
recommended the grape fruit, the
quinine Of fruits, some people call it,
have complained that the fruit is bit
ter 10 the taste. This is because they
do not know how TO eat il. The envei-
ope of each section of the grape fruit,
which is after all but a variety of or
ange, is very bitter. This should he re-
moved. and the juicy part of the inte-
rior eaten only, and, my word for it, it
will be preferred To any other orange
ever tasted. DR.. Robinson in Globe

A Doctors Advice.

A popular physician was recently
called on by a friend, to whom, in the
curse OF conversation, he said: There
are ten simple precautions which form
an excellent rule Of life, and if people
would but observe them | should have
to resort to some other means of max
ing a livelihood" He then enumer-
ated the following: Don't read in street
ears or other jolting vehicles. Don't
pick the teeth with pin5or other hard
substances. Don't neglect any oppor-
tunity 10 insure a variety of food.
Don't cat or drink hot and cold things
Immediately in succession. Don't
pamper the appetite with such variety
Of food that may lead 10 excess. Don't
read, write or do any delicate work un-
less receiving the light from the left
side. Don't direct special mental or
physical energies 10 more than eight
hours work in each day. Don't keep
the parlor dark if you value your
own and your chiidren's health. Don't
delude yourself intothe belief that you
are an exception SO far as sleep is con
cerned; the nominal average of sleep is
eight hours. Don't endeavor to rest
the mind by absolute inactivity; let it
rest in work in other channels. and
thus rest the tired part of the brain

Bald Headed Men.

Every bald-headed man who has
small children knows perfectly well
what sort of remarks this variety of
misfortune always calls out from in
quisitive youngsters, says the Boston
Transcript.
The children somehow, never seem
to be able to make out why bald heads
should exist, or why, if they do exist,
the hair should not begin to grow
after while, just as it does on babies
heads
There is bald headed man out in
one of the suburbs who, the other
morning, was engaged, as is his wont,
in laboriously endeavoring to cover up
the bald spot on the top of his head
with hair from the sides. (This is,
by the way, very common delusion
among the bald: they seem to imagine
that they can conceal their badness by
assembling few dozen hairs from the
surrounding country, as it were, and
forcing them over the bare scalp in
streaks which only emphasize the bald
ness.)
Well, as this gentleman was at work
the hair across the bald spot
in this way, his little girl, some four
years old. looked up with wide-open
eyes and asked:
"Say, papa, didn't God finish you?1

way the deacon found il out. Fearf III
that he would be exposed, the minister
followed his victim ON the day of his
disappearance to small farm some six
or eight miles out of town.
Slipping up behind the deacon in a
wood he shot him in the back of the
head, and, as the deacon turned in fall
ing, he shot him again in the side.
lie then put the body in the wagon,
covered with pine needles and drove
home. Leaving the wagon and its
CHASTITY load stand in the yard until
midnight, he aroused Ward, on whom
he had some hold, and compelled him
to go with him.
They drove to tho wood on the oppo-
site side of the town, stripped the
body, carried it to the pool and threw it
in, and then returning burnt the cloth
ing in fire made of the pine needles.
Loading the wagon with cord wood
they drove back to town.
The minister, who had noticed the
buttons on the coat, happened to think
that they might not have been burned
and had ordered Ward to go and get
them. That night the minister was
arrested, and on his trial was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. He com
nitted suicide in his cell, however, be-
fore the day of execution.
