Ihieving in China.

According to a Chinese story a miser
had three sons-in-law; one was a tailor.
another a jeweler, and the third a spend
thrift, who did nothing at all. One day
the miser called his third son-in-law and
said to him:
"See here! Your two brothers-in-law
are thrifty men, and are gradually add
ing to the family fortune; the tailor, by
cabbaging a little of his customers cloth

they don't know it!-and the jeweler by

little, don't you see. But you'll" exclaimed
the miser, "what do you do?:"
"Father-in-law," said the ne'er-do-
well. "you say well. Give me a crow
bar; I will so out, and, watching my
chance, l will break in merchants doors,
open their tills, and bring you back
thousands of pieces of silver where my
brothers-in-law bring you only paltry
gains"
"What! How?" exclaimed the miser,
in terrible anger; "can it be possible
that you would actually be a thief?"-

Natures Transformations.

The Dead Marine.

Capt. Mark WEIGH, late of Belfast,
Me-, was an old time ship master, and
many amusing stories are told of his sea
life. Capt. WEIGH had a great abhor-
renee of tobacco, and disliked to find to-
bacco ''quids" about the vessels deck.
One night he found an immense "quid"
on the quarter deck alongside the house,
which had been recently painted. The
captain called all hands. The watch be-
low turned out, and as the night was
pleasant they could not imagine what
the difficulty was. "Get the watch
tackle, straps and a handspike, and
bring them aft" shouted the captain.
The crew obeyed in amazement. "Put
q strap around the main boom and hook
OH the watch tackle" said Capt. WEIGH.
"What is to be done?' asked the mate.
"Sling that dead marine lying there
against the house and hoist him over
board" said the captain, pointing to the
tobacco "quid." 1t was done. No more
dead marines were found lying about
the decks after that.-Lewiston journal.

LIFE N DEATH.

From morn to eve they struggled - Life and
Death.
At first it seemed to me that they in mirth
Contended. and Us foes of equal worth,
So firm their feet, SO undisturbcd their breath.
But when the sharp red sun cut through III
sheath
or western clouds, l saw the brown arms girth
Tighten and bear that radiant form to earth.
And suddenly both fell upon the heath.
And then the wonder came-for when / fed
To where those great antagonists down fell
lcould not find the body that 1 sought,
And when and where It went 1 could not tell.
One only form was left 81 those who fought,
The long. dark form Of Death-and it was dead.

Making Pins and Needles

Metal pins were introduced into Eng
land from France in 1913. Within a
short time after machines were con-
structed in England for the manufacture
of pins. Previously they had been fled
to a point and the head had been soldered
by hand. Great opposition was made to
the novelty" says Felkin, "but utility
and cheapness prevailed in its favor.
The common sewing needle was brought
hither from India after the discovery of
the route by the Cape of Good Hope.
Before that time sewing was performed
in the method still used by shoemakers. u

How Ice Cutters Rescue Horses.

The danger of cutting ice before it has
attained a thickness of eight inches or
nor is great, and numbers of horses
have been lost by their breaking through
the ice while working the plows. Old
icemen say, however, that by putting a
slipnoose around the animals neck be-
fore it goes under the ice, the work of
getting it out is not great. The action
of the moose stops the animals breath
ing, apd soon causes the body to become
inflated with wind so that it will float on
the surface, when it is easily hauled out
upon the ice.-Boston Record,

Kate Field has found out by means of
carefully compiled statistics that tho
women OF America spend S62, 900, 900 year
on cosmetics and other preparations for the
complexion, and that most of them are
poisonous. This is an awful showing, worse
even than imagined. Miss Field wonders
no more at the invalidism so general with
the sex, as the constant absorption Of arsenic
and other poisons will account for almost
any disease. Certain toilet articles are in-
dispensable with some women, but why they
will persist in running their constitutions by
such cosmetics when there are perfect hy--
gienic lotions and powders to be found
passes my comprehension. PimpIes are not
pretty, but they are preferable to neuralgia
and paralysis. ELEANOR KIRK.

Annette threw a light shawl over her.
and then. partly undressing, lay down in

What could have happened to Constance
that her illness had not arisen from the
causes she had assigned to the stewardess2
She was certain the sudden start and the
look of distress when she began to recover
showed that it was shock Of some kind
that had brought on the fainting. Annette
knew that just before she had herself dozed
off, Constance was standing talking with
Mr.. Brown. No doubt what she had fore
seen had taken place, he had told Constance
he loved her, and she, of course. had re-
fused him. There could be no doubt about
that after what she had said the evening
they had left Point De Gale, but in that
case, why should she be upset? She had
herself warned Constance that the young
fellow would have right to say that she
had encouraged him. No doubt he had
done so, and perhaps with force and bitter
LESS. Still even that would hardly &C.
count for Constance being upset to this ex-
tent.
The girls conduct had indeed been a puz-
zle to her throughout the voyage. She had
certainly accepted the attentions Of their
fellow passenger with readiness altogether
at variance with her character. Then to
Annette, who knew every turn and rehec-
ton of her voice, she had never sesmed to
be herself. Her laughter was forced, and
there was an undercurrent of bitterness and
sarcasm so wholly unlike her that Annette
had wondered. but in vain, what had come
over the child. If she had meant all along
to refuse this young man. why had she not
shown him so from the moment his atten-
tions became marked2 From q child Con-
stance had been strong in her likes and her
disikes, and had been equally frank In

zle, and it was some time before Madame

An Engineers Thrilling Experience

Tom Lotus, the stalwart Fort Worth ems

brief chat Yesterday and related a thrilling
experience of his past life ia the cab tnat

time when the James and Younger banditti
were getting in such heavy work In rob-

ried regular arsenal IN his engine cab. Id
was bitter cold night on the occasion in
question, and the big engineer was at the
throttle on the st-oound limited express,
pulling for Kansas City.
Suddenly LOTUS heard crealring sound
back Of the engine. He turned and looked
into the barrel Of cleaning revolver be-
hind which stood q administering man.
The stranger also covered the fireman. An
onca visions Of train robbers flashed across
the engineers mind The stranger did not
utter a syllable, bat stood silently near the
brake pointing his revolver first at the en-
gineer and then at the fireman.
"What do you wantV queried LOTUS
somewhat nervously.
"Opsn that throttle wide," was the stern
response The command was obeyed, and
the train dashed along with such speed
that 10 rounding a sharp curve the sup
posed train robber was thrown Off his feet
TO the floor of the cab. Lotus Immediately
seized and dsarmed him. Then he shook
him like rat and stopped the mad speed Of
the train.
At this juucture a slim man, wearing
tin star on his breast and frightened almost
to death, appeared at the door of the bag
gage car. and shouted in frightened tona
to LOTUS to not hurt the supp 1sad Jesse

man explained that the man was patieat
