valuable sand Lots.

Accident in making what afterwalt
turn out to be good investments is always
favorite theme for discussion. An in.
stance was cited where a young man
went to Tacoma on flying visit in the
early days Of the place, when the prin.
cipal part Of the town was its name.
He was there only few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made a fortune for him SO suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it could be
possible.

owner Of San Francisco, made his fort.

but compromised his debt by handing

Sand lots We're not very valuable in

The Opal.

While most gems owe their tint to the
presence of some foreign coloring mat
ter the many hued and beautiful opal
differs. 1t is Opaque, deriving its beauty
from the marvellous property it pos
sesses of decomposing the rays of light,
and thus rejecting from its polished
surface all the colors of the rainbow. 1t
needs, therefore, no brilliant, but alp
pears to the best advantage when alone.
1t is at present among the most priced
Of gems, and has held its place for ages.
Mark Antony once offered $40 600 for
an opal the size Of hazelnut, but the
owner, Nonius, a Roman senator, pre-
ferred exile to parting with his treasure.
In spite Of their value opals are unsafe
investments, for time and exposure dim
their luster, while their sensitiveness to
heat is so great that the warmth of the
hand has been known to crack them.
The finest stones come from Hungary,
and among the Austrian crown Jewels
are gems Of greater size and beauty than
that which tempted the Roman emperor.

Not the least among the various Of
fenses that meet the eye, and seldom
with any palliating incidents, are the
signs of all kinds that disfgure most of
the buildings in the business districts.
A plain signboard. giving the name of
the company or individual proprietor
and the nature Of the business, is unob-
jectionable, however large, if set up
against the wlll, over the entrance or at
the Threshold. The largest concerns in
the city have, however, abahdoned oven
these, and arc content to use a small
metal plate for their names.
But the popular idea in signs seems to
run to as great'a display es possible, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great erial wire structures
that project from the tops Of buildings
or are hung across the sheets9 They are
dangerous, too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those dazzling monstrosi-
ties which, in colored glass, call the at
tention of the passerby to the game OF
billiards and other pastimes. Some of
the porticos which project over the
whole sidewalk aro utilized for similar
purposes.
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortars, saws and other symbols of the
merchandise for sale within the stores
haunt before the gaze at every turn.
Most of these are Illegal, as the law al

For long time Jumps of crude rubber
and elastic bands have mysteriously van
ished from the counter of Morrissey's S
'all night" pharmacy in Brooklyn. No
body was able to throw any light ON the
enigma until Drug Clerk Bosworth made
a discovery.
1t was late at night and the store was
quiet. Trade had been dull for an hour
and Bosworth felt like taking nap.
just as he was about dropping off to
sleep he happened to look up and caught
a glimpse of doc" big cat that lives
in the pharmacy. He was at lunch, and
was feasting ON rubber bands.
One by one he extracted them from
their little glass receptacle and munched
away with evident relish. Bosworth did
not disturb him, but sat still and count
ed the rings as they vanished down the
cats throat. When forty three had
faded from view doc" stopped eating,
gave a wide yawn and stretched himself
out for an after dinner nap on top of a
showcase.
Having accidentally solved the mys-
terry, Bosworth resolved to Lave some
fun at "Docs" expense, so, after the cat
had been doing for an hour, he called
him. "Doc" came to the front quickly
In his hand Bosworth held large elias
tic band. This he extended toward the
cat. Docs" eyes seemed to sparkle as
he contemplated the luscious morsel,
and without hesitation seized it with
his teeth.
Bosworth, however, had good grip
on the other end. When the cat pulled
Bosworth pulled, too, but the little tug
Of war did not last long, for the mis-
chievous clerk suddenly relaxed his hold
ON the band, and as it snapped back it
caught the unlucky cat a stinging cut
on the end of his nose He dropped the
band as if itwere hot potato, sprang
from the counter and ran out of the
store with a cry of distress.
Since then, although Bosworth and
his friends, to whom he related the incl
dent, have repeatedly tried to induce
''Doc" TO submit TO being hand fed with
rubber rings, he steadfastly refuses to
indulge. His abnormal appetite has
been cured. New York Herald.

Among optional courtesies may be
enumerated that which governs the con-
duct Of persons In crowded public con-
veyances. South Of Mason and Dixon's
line no man would brave public opinion
by remaining seated when woman
maintained a standing position, even
were she the humblest Of her sex A
foreigner would argue in such case
that he had paid for his seat, and that
there could be no more reason for his
rising in a street car than if he were oc-
cupying q seat at the opera or at a hotel
table.
In New York, which is too cosmopoli-
tan city to be cited as an example,
street car etiquette is decidedly variable,
and whether or not it is necessary TO va
cate a seat in a lady's favor is a much
mooted question. One thing is certain,
and that is, that youth and beauty ap-
peal to both high and low, even the
most booTish individual being willing to
relinquish his rights in favor of wom-
an with pair Of bright eyes and styl-
ish figure.
The poor wage worker, in her faded
cotton gown and with fingers showing
evidences of toll, is rarely the recipient
of such courtesy. The man in broad
cloth, who has been seated in his lux
urious Office most of the day, keeps his
seat without qualm of conscience, and
holds his paper before his face to OBJ
struct the view of the appealing eyes and
worn figure.
Women in public vehicles often ex-
hibit q remarkable selfshness and a total
disregard for the comfort Of others.
Many of them accept seat to which
they have no legal right with saucy
toss of the head and without recognizing
the courtesy by as much as bow or a
thank you" An audible expression of
thanks is the least lady should offer in
exchange for the sacrifice of place,
and this should be rendered as freely to
the threadbare clerk as to the dude in
fine raiment. -Jenness-Miller Magazine.

A PRoFlTARLe PUBLIC FOREST

K Pleasure Grounds Which Pay Annually
Large Sums Into City Treasury,
The Sihi-Wald has been owned by
Zurich ever since 1909 at least, and has
been carefully administered for centu-
ries. 1t is now managed on the most ap-
proved scientific principles by a corps Of
trained foresters and permanent work
ing force so well organized that import

common 1aborers under the supervision
Of a forester of the lowest grade. Econ
omy as strict and watchful as that of
any private enterprise prevails, together
with 2 wise and open handed liberality
in providing for the welfare Of the prop
erty. One year the net profits were
something over s. an acre, or a total of
about SEQ, 900 for the city treasury.
The city does the entire work lum-
bering, manufacturing and administra-
ton. II employs the best modern labor
saving devices, such as lumber slides,
portf bic railways and railway TO the
mills. ln the saw mill the principal
machinery is American, and in its facto-
ries the forest management works up the
bic material, and also manufactures
nearly everything it uses. An elaborate
and costly apparatus has been success
fully introduced for injecting wood with
a solution of copper sulphate under hy-
drostatic pressure, making its products
last twice or three times as long as or
dinary wood, SO that there is a wide de-
mand for the telegraph poles, railway
ties, wooden pavement, shingles and
other articles treated in this way
The net profits of the forest win be
largely increased by new railway build
ing into the valley. Almost half the
annual yield Of wood is from Trimmings
alone The proportion Of firewood is
generally "A per cent, yielding "a per
cent Of the total revenue.
