Electric Proof Safes.

Some time ago, when safes were being
blown to pieces frequently, an Indianapolis
inventor devised scheme to as completely
protect his safe rs if he surrounded it with
a lake of molten iron. He put in large
electric battery and when everybody had
left the ste.e but himself, he turned the
electric current loose upon the safe. He
knew that the safe was thoroughly charged
from quick touch of it, and with a feel
ing of pride that he had at last completely
baffled the burglar who should design to
rob him he went home. Being cautious
he did not tell any of his employees o. the
charge, intending to get down early and
shut off the battery himself.
At an unusually early hour, by chance,
next morning his bookkeeper came in,
and not finding any one down he prepared
to fix for business. Going to the safe he
seized the combination knob. Then he
turned somersaults before he let go of it.
Then he stepped back and studied. Pick
ing up a poker he began to punch the
knob, and he was again wrenched. Then
the Office boy came down and volunteered
TO open the safe. A reinforcement of
clerks soon came, and armed with all sorts
of weapons they began to assault the safe,
bnt just at this moment the proprietor
came in and shut off the battery.-New
York Telegram.

A Story of the Late Sir John Macdonald.

Canadians never tire of descanting on
the genial ways of the late Sir John Mac
donald, his POPULARITY, his tact, his popular
manners and his astonishing memory for
faces and names. A Manitoba correspond
ent tells this anecdote of the Old Man, as
Sir John was more or less affectionately
called by friends and opponents during the
latter ten or fifteen years of his life:
In the winter of 1889 Mr.. Burkholder, an
Ontario man who had migrated to Mani
toba in 1882, went to Ottawa on business.
Few of his old friends recognized him, be-
cause he had grown stout, very stout, In
fact, on the prairie.
At the Rideau club "Burk," as he is pop
ularIy called, had spent several hours re-
introducing himself to intimate friends Of
old, when Sir John entered. Burkholder
had been the Old Mans host in distant
part of Ontario for two hours twelve years
before, and had no other personal acquaint-
ance with the premier.
Sir Johns eye roved around the room and
stopped at the Ontario man, to whom he
instantly went with outstretched hand and
said:
"Why, Burk! Had you forgotten mes
Glad to hear of your great luck in Manito-
ba l needn't ask how you are. Plain
enough you've gone west to grow up with
the country"

How rrufaes Are Said to Grow.

During the months of July and Au-
gust" says NJ Valserres. noted natural
list, "a little fly, azure winged and small OF
body, penetrates into the soil at the base Of
oak trees or elsewhere in search of certain
juices there to be found. With its sting it
pierces some portion of the root, makes an
incisiou and therein lays it's eggs. From
this incision or scar, there exudes Wis
cous substance which, clinging to the
root, grows into truffle"
How exact this theory may be is matter
Of conjecture. Certain it is that truffie
hunters are attracted TO their spoil by a
little insect, but il is not altogether impos-
sible that the fly itself is attracted, ike a
true gourmet, by the very existence Of the
precious object.
There are three species of truffies found
in France-the black and most common.
the white (highly prized) and the trUffls
Pail, which has a favor Of garlic. They
are found in all soils, but chiefly in oak
forests or where the earth is damp and cal
careous, thriving best in an almost sterile
soil. The best that the country affords
comes from Per!gue1x and about Angou-
leme-W ashington Letter.

Shopping in Chicago.

"There are a great many particulars In
which Chicago is ahead of New York, " re-
marked Western lady who had been out
shopping all the afternoon among the big
retail stores. I'm the first place, all the
best shops in Chicago have large reception
rooms for ladies. Some of these are ele-
gantly appointed. There are desks with
paper, envelopes and pens and ink, where
a lady can write notes or ordeD or figure
on her purchases. There are comfortable
chairs, sofas and reading matter if she
has to wait for somebody. There are luxu-
rious toilet rooms. One place has toilet
rooms in white marble, divided into com
parSments big enough TO take bath in or
dress for a bail Ali of these reception
rooms have free telephone connections,
district messenger and telegraph calls.
''If there are any such accommodations
for ladies in New York don't know where
they are. Another thinC-for women with
small children there are nurse rooms with
maids in attendance. A woman can leave
her children here in the morning and shop
all day if she wants To and cal for her baby
when she gets ready 10 80 home. You can
just check your baby, so to speak, as you
would M umbrella, and be sure it is well
taken care of. New York Herald.

The Iroouois, Iegepd of Creation,

The Iroquois have legend of their own
describing the creation. In the past deep
water covered the earth. The air was filled
with birds and monsters were in posses
sion of the waters, when beautiful wom-
an was seen falling from the sky. Then
huge ducks gathered in council and re-
solved to meet this wonderful creature and
break the force of her fall So they rose,
and with pinion overlapping pinion united
" received the burden. Then the mon
sters of the deep also gathered in council
to decide which one should hold this celes-
tial being and protect her from the ter
rors of the waters, but none was able ex-
cept a giant tortoise, who volunteered to
endure this weight upon his back. There
she was gently placed, while he, constant
" increasing in size, soon became large
island.
Twin boys were after time brought
forth by the woman-one the spirit of
good, who caused the maize, fruit and to-
bacco to gov; the other the spirit of evil,
who created the weeds and all vermin.
From that time the world steadily in
creased in size. although occasional quak-
ings were felt, caused by the efforts of the
monster tortoise to stretch himself

1t Was Not a Fly.

Eli Perkins likes to repeat Bob Rurdette's
story of the clergyman illustrating patience
before class. He says:
When / asked Mr.. Burdette to tell me
just exactly how it occurred, he stood up
so as to be ready for violent gesture and
said:
at was one hot summer afternoon when
the air was full of sunshine and singing
birds and buzzing insects. Our dear old
clergyman-I can see him now-was telling
us boys how we should never get excited.
"'Boys,' he said, you should always be
patient-you never should lose your tenn
pers-never let your angry passions rise.
You should never swear, or get angry or
excited. l never do. Now, to illustrate,
boys pointing upward, you see that little
fly on my nose. A good many wicked,
worldly men would get angry at that fly,
but / don't
"'What do I do''
"'Why, ny children, simply say go
away fy-go away-and- Gosh blast it!

Her Disappointment.

A lady who was great admirer OF Hof-
ace Greeley went one evening TO hear him
lecture. She had never seen her hero, but
was a constant reader of his paper, and
had her own ideas as to how he would look
and act.
The chairman Of the meeting desired to
air his Latin, and Introduced the speaker
in the following rather vague and 1ndeh-
mite manner:
Ladies and gentlemen, you came very
near being disappointed this evening, as
Mr.. Greeley has been very Ill, and truss
that slight change Of programme Will be
excused on this account.
"As know that you are all anxious for
the lecture to begin, will only detain you
to say that l have the pleasure and honor
of introducing to you the facile princeps OF
journalism"
The lady waited to hear no more, but
went home in disgust.
"Well, my DEAR asked the husband,
who was taking care Of the baby during
his wife's absence, chow did you like the
| lecturer"
81 didn't stop to hear IL" was the reply
"Greeley was sick, and they got another
man to take his place who H-as such a
queer looking old guy that l wouldn't
waste my time listening to him, SO l came
back
"Who was the MANI"
II don't know" she answered, still in
dignant at her disappointment. Some
body never heard of before. His name
was Facily Princes"
The lady was still more disappointed the
next day when she discovered in the paper
long account of Greeley's lecture, which
the great editor, although feeling quite i'll,
had delivered in "a forcible and impressive
| manner.
The paper remarked that the chairman
stated the truth when he called Greeley
easily the first of journalists, 1t then
dawned upon the lady that her 'Facily
Princes" was really the editor of The Trib-
une-Youth's Companion.

Spelling a Widows Joke.

In an aristocratic boarding house of
Walnut hill lives middle aged and we'll
to do bachelor whose business habits keep
him down town until late at night. In the
same house are many charming ladies, and
among them very pretty widow, whom
for purposes of designation may be called
Mrs. G. Saturday night they were merrily
playing tricks about the house and finally
invaded the room of Mr.. r., the bachelor
above mentioned. With one of the lumi-
nous crayons now so common, in the COM
position of which phosphorus forms q
prominent part, they drew upon the wall
in large letters this exhortation:
