the outer end of each approach. The
grades on the central span viii be 3 feet

A senslbIs Preeautlon.

AOu ask me why l inquired your ad-
dress when writing out the prescription
for your cough. The reason viii at once
commend itself to every sensible mind,
and is simply this: There have been
cases innumerable where lives might
have been saved had the number Of the
residence Of the party for whom the pre-
scription was put up been known to the
druggist. For, as we all know, mis-
takes are made even in the most Telia-
bic drug stores through the carelessness
of clerks. Not long ago a druggist
found, on returning from supper, that a
bottle Of strychnine was on the counter,
and asked the reason why.
The clerk replied that he had just been
putting up a prescription, and was hor-
rifed when he found that he had made
use of strychnine instead of some less
harmful drug mentioned in the prescip-
tion. The frightened young fellow did
not even know the name of the person
who had come for it, or for whom it was
intended, and after hours of search on
the part of the distracted druggist the
unfortunate victim was at last traced to
his home, but too late, for the first dose
had killed him. That is why place the
name Of the patient both on the prescrip-
ton for the druggist and on the stub
left in my prescription book.-InterYiew

pTopkey House i'm Central PARK.


The monkey house in Central park is the
favorite resort of that half million of chill
dren who live in and around New York.
Here there are fifty monkeys. In one big
cage there are a dozen new monkeys not
yet thoroughly accustomed to civiliza-
ton. Their cage has to be tidied,
and so when the keeper enters with
his broom the whole lot of them
squeal and scamper off to the oppo-
site side of the cage, and huddle there.
am certain they are not really scared, but
only pretend. In this lot of monkeys, one
two foot monkey has become the dear
friend of very small one, and so when
ever they scamper from one side of the
cage to the other the big one acts as a
horse for the little one.
All the monkeys are on intimate terms
with Mr. Jacob, the keeper, and some are
never happy unless they get into his arms
or can hang about his neck. As the keeper
has to use his broom vigorously in sweep
ing the floor it is funny to see him carry
around "a necklace Of live monkeys while
at his work.
That monkey house is a scene Of perpet-
nal motion. 1t can only be quiet when all
hands are asleep. You will see a monkey
perfectly still aud motiOnless, and you
will say; "That chap is dead tired at last. No
wonderl Now he Is going to take a com
Portable nap" Before you have said that,
of is that very same monkey, swinging on
the rope and twice as active and energetic
as ever. It was only one of his tricks.
You cannot help laughing when a mon
key looks Mt you. II you stare back at
him he Will blink and wink, then put his
head on one side, with knowing air, jast
as would a rude, vulgar little boy when he
says: Whom are you staring at? Hope
you'll know me next timer" If you face
him for a WHILE it will end by the mon-
keys yawning, which means, "You make
me very tired. ."-Harper's Young People.

Doesn't Knor Who He I

Eight years ago George Virgins, son
of w. B. Virgins, who is a prominent
citizen Of Graham county, went from
Robbinsville to the west. For two years
he wrote regularly to his folks. In his
last letter he wrote that he was going to
Montana. This was the last they ever
heard Of him until recently.
Not long ago r. L. Davis, Of Robbins
vile, went to Montana and settled there
He now writes back that he believes he
has found the long lost man. About the
time George Virgins wrote his last let
ter home a young man arrived in Mon
tana and went to work in saw mill.
His employer remembers that he gave
the name of Wiggins. This was all that
was learned concerning him.
Soon after he commenced work in the
mill he was struck ON the side of the
head by a flying timber, which knocked
him senseless. For long time his life
was despaired of, but he finally recov-
cred. Memory of all previous life was
gone. If he had just been born into the
world he could not have been more Of a
child than he was when he recovered
from that terrible blow. All that he
now knows he has had to learn anew

An Eye to His riparian Rights.

A young business man in town recently
bought a strip of land along the lake shore
in Lake View, and a short time afterward
moved up into the vicinity of the land
His friends say that he did it so that he
could watch the land, but this he denies.
However, he has good eye for the main
chGnce.
at isn't a big strip" he said, ''but it
gives me riparian rights; that is why !
bought it,"
Going to fill IMP" he was asked.
"No. The waves are making half a foot
a month for me by washing up refuse
This is to show that he has good busi-
ness head. It was rumored in real estate
circles that he got out on the shore in the
morning with hoe and a rake and pulled
in everything that got within reach, but
this could not be verified. The following,
however, can be;
"IIe was standing at the window one
morning, looking over his land, when he
suddenly startled his wife by eXclaiming
excitedly:
Great Scotti There are a lot Of boys on
my land playing sailorp'
''What of it2'' his wife asked innocently
what of itr' he cried. "What of it,
Why, they're digging harbors on my ripa-
rian rights Wait a minute and I'll fix it. "
He grabbed his hat and rushed out.
Ibid you settle it," asked his wife when
he returned a moment later.
''Oh, yes" he replied with the air of a
man who had done good stroke of bust
ness. Its all right now. told 'em that
that was no way to play sailor in Chicago;
that they ought to build piers to land their
boats at, and now they are building piers
and making more land for me every min
ute"
That's the eye for business some men
have.-Chicago Tribune.

Sixty the Average Age Of senators.

oAAeg NA9 ANGHAle AE1 VI opnAsoAAe
More than half of the constitutional
convention of 1887 were men who had
not reached the age Of As, while there
are only seven men who are not past a
among the eighty-eight members of the
United States senate today, aud four Of
these come from the younger states OF
the west, where there are fewer old
men than in the east, Maine and Yer
mont having, according to the CEN
sus returns Of age, more than six times
as many males past the age of go proper
tionally as Colorado and the Dakotas.
No less than thirty-seven of the eighty
eight senators, or nearly half Of all, are
past 60, and nine of them beyond 20, as
three others will be within a few
months. Mr.. Morrill, has a colleague from
Ohio who, like him, was born in 1910;
two who were born in 1915 and three in
1918. Three of these have, like him,
sought and obtained reflections after
they were past 20. The average age Of
all the senators falls only about a year
short of 60.
In the supreme court the change has
been equally remarkable. Since Pierce's
day but one man has been placed upon
this bench who had not passed the age
of 40, while of the twelve appointees
during the past two decades no less than
four were more than sixty when they
took their seats. OF the eight judges
left after Mr.. Miller's death one is 70
years old, one is "a, and one is IT,

The combination keyless lock for post
Office letter boxes is constructed on the
simplest plan that has ever been devised
for a lock It has no tumblers, and there
fore no intricate movement liable to get
out of order 1t has two dials, and all that
it is necessary to remember in order to
open the lock isstwO letters OF the alpha
bet, so that a child capable of being trust
ed to go for the mail can open the box as
readily as a grown person. For instance,
81 the combination was set on the letters
A 4 all that is required is to turn one of
the dials to A and the other to 4 aud the
box can be opened.
Over 3, 1000 combinations are possible, so
that every box may be set on a different
combination. In case a person should hap
pen to forget the combination, which is
not very probable, since he has only to re
member two simple letters, the box can be
opened by the postmaster touching spring
on the inside, and as soon as the door is
opened the renter Immediately sees the
two letters forming his combination. Any
number of persons that may be desired can
have access to the box, and a new renter
can always feel secure, for the reason that
by changing his combination, which IS
very easily effected in a few seconds by any
one, there is no possibility Of a former
renter having key to the box and access
to his mail
There being no tumblers or anything to
indicate from the outside how the combi-
nation is set, the lock is absolutely proof
against being opened by any one who does
not know the combination, Both dials
must be set properly before the box can be
opened, and there is no possible way Of dis
covering the combination unless both dials
arc set correct.-New York Telegram.

He Yns Really.

A story overheard ran something like
this: Il was sitting in box at a theatre
one evening when one Of the men present
said: 4 always look around in theatre
for the saSiRt way Of escape in case of fire,
or for some Way in which I could reach the
stage if any accident were to occur there.
Now, suppose that actress gown should
take fire. would step on that garland
there, steadying myself by the rail with
the arm which held my overcoat, reach my
foot across to that frieze in high relief and
spring thence to the stage. In thirty-five
seconds 1 should have reached her and
have the flames smothered with my coat
Il laughed at him. Well, as it happened
that very actress gown did catch fire,
and she gave piercing scream that almost
threw the house into a panic. What did
my friend dor Forget all about his fire
scheme and lose his head like the rest9
Not one bit of it. He did just exactly what
he said he would do. His coat was around
the woman in less time than it took me to
wonder at his activity, and the audience
was cheering him. 1t was a sort of disci-
pline with him, you see." Repeated in

a chance to play the hero some time.-New

Iovesickness. IS.

Among the notes which the Listener has
received relative to the discovery Of the
love microbe in Berlin is one from a lady,
who describes an actual case of lovesick-
ness as treated by regular physician.
The patient, lady, first went about look
ing dull as a hoe, which was putting it
quite mildly It was not more than half
as dull as she felt Then she was bereft Of
sleep, and saw the sun rise on her misery
every morning The illness went on, with
one symptom and another, for a year, and
during all this time physician Of the reg
ular school was prescribing for her. First
he gave her claret for her digestion. It did
no good, and then he gave her morphine,
chloral, bromide, medicine TO act on the
heart O, medicine to act on the nerves
and medicine to act on the liver.
Meanwhile he began an accessory treat
ment of wines Of various kinds; hops in
pillow form; brandy, hot and cold; stout,
with meals, pale ale and beer, and finally
codliyer oil and whisky. The patient haC
taken all the other things with admirable
patience; when it came to the codliver oil
and whisky she rebelled-nOt at the cod
liver oil, hut at the whisky. It was all
useless; and the climax had to come. 1t
did come, the patient still lives, and she at
tributes her survival to country air.-Bos.

A BIt Of Gossip.

1t is quite amusing to compare the
opinions Of men and women concerning
the personal appearance Of Mrs. Leslie
Carter. Men generally agree in calling
her strikingly handsome, both in figure
and feature. Women consider her too
tall, and declare that her mouth is alto
gether too large to lay any claim to
beauty. This from some women who
were enthusiastic over Mrs. Langtry
and Mrs. Potter. Mrs. Carter certainly
has q large mouth, but she has a beauti-
full set Of teeth Her hair is of the gold
eil p. t5ifl- which sss.s llsiils itlsi ssssl
a~artists. That she is a woman OF
more intellect than either of the other
actresses is discernible at a glance, and
when she speaks this impression is great
ly intensified She doesn't attempt elab-
crate street toilets, but dresses quite
simply She therefore seldom attracts
more attention from strangers than any
well dressed New York society woman.
some of them can never forgive, as
they consider that actresses and literary
women are to be stared at and comment
ed upon.-New York World.

Too Saving.

Aunt Betsey Hicks, n New England WO-
man, who had been left a widow after a
few years Of married life "carried on" her
late husbands farm with a good deal of
ability, but with such close economy that
her saving devices grew famous in the
country round about.
Next to her economy of provisions her
economy Of firewood was perhaps her chief
concern. At one time a sister of her late
husband, from "down country" came to
make her a visit, and soon became con-
Yineed that Betsey was endeavoring to
freeze her out. Bat perhaps this was not
so since the temperature was as Mrs
Hicks usually kept it,
81 declare" " the visitor ventured to ex-
claim, u should think you kept it pretty
cold here, Betseyw
''That ere pesky thermometers to
blame, Susan" said Betsey. 81 guess it's
got choacd up ] can't get it above fifty TO
save my lifer'
Then she turned over the stick of wood
in the sheet iron stove, while her guest
walked up and down the room with her
hands thrust up the sleeves of her dress.
The visitor remained at Aunt Betseys
for several days, however, in spite Of the
choked up thermometer, spending much Of
hertime in bed or watching a chance to
smuggle a stick into the stove when her
hostess was ont of the room.
Late one afternoon she happened to go
out into the woodshed, and found Aunt
Betsey there, with an old shawl wrapped
around her shoulders and n stick in her
hand, engaged in violently stirring some
thing in a large tin can A strong smell
of petroleum filled the air
'Betsey Hicks" said the visitor, "what
be you a-doin'g"
"Wall, if you want to know" said Aunt
Betsey, Il thought I'd see if 1 couldn't stir
a leetle mite o. water int the karosene. ]
reckon it'd go a leetle futher, 'th so much
in the house as seem to have"

A Pullman sleener an Fire.

When the east bound Washington ex-
press on the New England road, leaving
this city at 2:45 a. m, was few miles
this side of Willimantic Thursday, fire
was discovered in a Pullman sleeper. It
spread rapidly, and the passengers were
ordered out and placed in the other
sleeper, which fortunately had room
enough to accommodate them. It was
impossible to extinguish the fire, and at
WiIlimantic the car was cut out and the
FIRE department called. It's services
were, however, unnecessary, as the fire
was got under control by other means
before its arrival An accident of this
kind is very unusual, and though the fire
evidently started from the heater, it does
not yet appear just how it originated.
The wood of the car in which it started
was badly burned, and the loss will be
considerable. The passengers were in
great excitement for a little time, and
probably did not have monopoly Of un-
pleasant agitation. They were all got
out without accident, and their effects
were removed uninjured. - Hartford
Courant
