A Poor Man on Tax Days.

City Counselor Will G. Marshall had
a big case just before he went into his
Office, and while it was pending he had
to present a heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
100000 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand.
How much are you WORTH" he asked
him. The bOndsman hesitated and began
to Wriggle uneasily in his chair. ooh,
well, you're worth 800, 900 in real estate.
| suppose" said Marshall.
Good gracious, no! Not half of
that" exclaimed the witness. II guess
| am worth about $50, 000."
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
Il am worth 800, 600" said the man
cody, ''but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting 500, 900 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me for back
taxes if | toll how much was worth on
the stand. didn't know you was going
to put Inc On the stand Or | should have

Climate and Morals.

The world is tolerably we'll mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the a~daptability Of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge Of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientiic-that is to say,
Of the influence Of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to q detail,
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as a luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable US to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth, or with
a facilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth
fulness. We indeed have in the phrase
"the cold truth" a recognition of this.
We say that the northern ATTITUDES nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity.-Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

Red Hair the Fashion.

The one thing absolutely de rigueur is
red hair. Blends and brunettes seem
to have been wiped off the face of the
earth so far as Paris is concerned, and
there is hardly one woman in a hundred
who cannot boast of locks the shade that
Titan loved. A wonderful preparation
is to be had which works the TRANSFORMED
ton. 1t is put on at night aid the head
bandaged IN many folds of cloth.
In the morning comes the narrowing
moment. The s~wathings are removed,
but such are the peculiar properties of
the compound that no one can tell be-
forehand whether the hair will turn out
the desired hue or purple or green. If it
is red the color stays for a month OF two.
and if it is green nobody knows what
happens, for the wretched victim retires
to the country, not to be seen again for
at least a year.-Paris Letter.

bacteria killed by Electricity.

The disease producing bacteria may
be killed by a current OF electricity, as
has been shown by experiments with
bottles OF water containing them. Ely
passing the current from a battery
through a loop of wire suspended in the
water it was found that a small voltage
was sufficient to deprive the most active
bacteria of life. The consumption ba-
cillus died under two and a quarter
volts, while other more hardy species
could not survive more than three volts
and a half.
Unfortunately, this electrical method
would be too expensive and troublesome
for the householder to pursue. 1t is sug-
gested, therefore, that cities or water
companies shall perform the entire task,
delivering the water to consumers in a
condition guaranteed harmless. Accord
ing to the plan proposed the killing of
the microbe is to be accomplished at the
reservoir. Nothing could be easier than
to apply the energy Of a battery by a
current at one place in the supply pipes
as to kill with absolute certainty every
microbe that passed through in the flow
ing water.
A dynamo with a capacity of 1000
volts would do the work perfectly for
the biggest possible pipe, Staying all the
bacteria going through and rendering
i%nnocuous all the millions of gallons
daily that a metropolis consumes. Ali
that is necessary is that a length of the
pipe shall be made Of insulated material,
and through holes i'll its sides will be in
serted wires representing the poles Of the
battery--positive on one side and mega
tive on the other. Set the dynamo going,
and the current springs through the wa
ter, filling it. with powerful electric
waves necessarily fatal to all living or
ganisms floating in the stream.-New
York Telegram.

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing

The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
so steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
so as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing a chaos.
y chaos is a steep slope covered with
blocks Of stone ranging from a hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big md little,
between them. Their edges are gener-
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet. they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi-
ton, some. of them are 'wobblers." The
dutfer passed ~seversl unpleasant quarters
of an hour i'll following the hunter, ex-
cited by the proximity of game, oyer
these places, and will always carry on
his leg a souvenir of one of them.-Paul
a Dyke in Scribner's.

Common Sense in Bicycle Riding.

Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department in Outing
says: There is no doubt about it bat
that a better air valve must be devised,
made with an alright cap which can
not be detached. Some such device /
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages. and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally in use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu-
matte tires how to initiate and to what
tens.on-the heavier the man the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
a bit Of trouble if they would get the
best results out of a pneumatic tire"

 A wATCIIMAKEn in Newcastle, Eng, recently completed a set of three gold shirt studs, in one of which is a watch that keeps excellent time, the dial be- ing only thrce-sixteenthso of an inch in diameter, The three studs are con- pected by strip of silver inside the shirt bosom, and the watch contained in the middle one is wound up by turning the stud above. The hands are set by turning tho one below.

 Meeting of DeacOns.

Meeting of DeacOns.
 The trustees had just begun the busi- ness of thoiP monthly meeting, and Deacon Smith had the floor, says the New York Evening Sun. They were legisiating for enc of South Norwalk's most pros porous churches. Two of the members had late business engagements in the city, and Deacon Smiths shop on the main street. near the station, had been chosen for the meeting this month for the sake of convenience. The deacon was well under way when the outcr door was seen to open slig htly. and he paused to note the cause of the interruption.
 Connecticut Is famed for the extensive variety Of it's tramps, and one of the most interesting type now appeared. His entrance into the room was made in thoroughly original manner. When tho door was sufficiently ajar to admit of his head it popped in on the aston ished deacons, sur:nounted by a most dIapidated hat and complemented by smiling face and full, ragged beard. When he became assured that no tan gible obstacle was on it's way to meet him he opened the door wide, and, with another glance of satisfaction on the benevolent faces that surrounded him, he softly closed the door behind him and stepped jauntily forward, with his hat in his hand. His hair hung down over his face in rakish way, but with a graceful sweep of his long arm he caught up wad of it in his hand and laid it back from his forehead. He had on long frock coat fastened close ly around his waist by thorn, and from the flowing flap above oozed out the ends of much-soiled handkerchief. His ciosely-ftting trousers, through numer- ous portals of which protruded his in- teresting self, seemed to run without any dividing line into the shoe and boot which respectively incased his feet.
 The dearons had time to note these peculiaritieS before the stranger broke the silence. His voice seemed to em- anate from that particular boot and emerged with most pronounced French accent, which will here be omitted.
 ''Gentienen," he began, your pardon for disturbing you, but am very sick"
 He paused after this announcement to note the effect.
 Il went to the doctor," he soon con- t;nued, and he gave me the pills-see, the piils," and he held up to view small bottle which he had in the palm of his hand.
 ''IIe said take the pills, three after each r.t:i, and I would like very much to have some assistance"
 ''We;l, why in thunder don't you take your piiis, then, and not come bother ing here!" interposed a deacon who was becoming tired.
 ''Gentiemen," replied the tramp, with much unction, ''I can not take the pills; I have no meal"
 lie got that meal.

NOTHING SMALL ABOUT THESE

GEORGIA beats the world in babies, The wife of Will Lennon, painter in Macon, has given birth to child weigh ing forty pounds.
 THE Pacific coast has not monopoly on big trees. There is a cyprus tree at Enterprise, Fla, that is 1011 feet in diameter and has trunk forty feet in length to the first limb.
 PERHAPS the most wonderful currant bush ever seen is owned by R. Lonnen, of Mayviile. \. J. He found the bush growing wild in tho woods, brought it home and planted it by the side of the house. The bush has grown up the side of the building to height of about twenty feet and is about seven feet wide, bearing entrants as large as an ordinary cherry.
 MosEs TURK, of Gainesville, Ga., cut a poplar tree that measured 4H feet in diameter at the stump and 3 feet in diameter GO feet from the butt. It made six stocks 15 feet long, clear of knots and windshalies. Every cut had to be split before it could be hauled except
 
 timber, for which firm paid S1 per 100. Counting two years for every circle in the stump the tree was SG4 years old. It took two yoke of oxen to turn over one- half of the butt cur, and three yoke to pull one-third of it out.
 THE boss snake of the season was a monster rattler on exhibition at J. F. Bottoms store, in AmcricdS, Ga. His snakeship was moro than feet in length, and measured 20 inches in cir conference in the middle, while his caudal appendage was ornamentCd with II rattles and button. The hideous object vas killed in sedge field on the uuguenin plantation by Alfred Fields, q coiored laborcr, who, after a lively fight of several minutes, knocked him on the head with fence rail. MT. Bolton had the snakes hide stuffed and hung up in front of his store.
 A WESTERN paper gives the measure ments of three apple trees. One, which stands in Fairfield County, O., and bears Q fruit closely resembling Maiden's Blush, is feet inches in circumfer- ence at threc feet above the ground, with a spread of 70 feet in diameter. Another in Wayne County, O., is 10 feet 4 inches in circumference at one foot above the ground, and is known to be sevcnty-six years old. The third and largest is in the same State, in Wash ington County, and was planted in 1791 or 1792. The trunk, wherc it is small est girtbs 12 feet inches, and the larg- est branch girths ' feet. It is seed ling, which bears a largo yellow apple of excellent quality for cooking.

She Doe5n't Want the Sy1 lpathy of Mis-
 guided Phuanthropists.
 Tho Chicago Tribune recently re- received the following from retail house on State street:
 ''I want to protest against this twaddle about the poor shop-girl. I have heard it rung in ny ears for weeks, day and night. And from people who know nothing about our business and really care less. l an tired of being pointed out as weary shop-girl. am tired of being asked the question by people whom 1 never saw before and probably will never See again until I run up against them in the next world, and then I shall expect them to say to me: You poor, tired thing. You look too weary to twang your harp
 ''Let n.e tell these sympathetic creatures something. We do get tired. So do the bank clerks, and 1 suppose there is such thing as newspaper men tiring. But they are never singled out as we are as objects of sympathy. You may think l am ungrateful. I am not. don't want any so-called sympathy from strangers. Besides, would like to inform the sympathizers that the average shop-g:rl of to-day is better of for being such. She is we'll treaced by her employer. Of course she has to work. She is not employed as a picture. 1 know one manager in Chi cago who never allows 8 girl in search Of work to leave his place without one days pay in her pocket. If she is worthy she may be retained. During the crowded season just passed know of many shop girls who were not only given extra pay and furnished with lunches and dinners, but given valuable presents, and their home people were, in some instances, remembered by man. agers and employers. Many did not re- ceive such consideration, and have no doubt that in a majority of such cases they did not receive it because they did not merit 1t. If the shop-girl attends to her business she will get along all right and won't need so much sympathy"
