A professional humorist said the other
day: "There is great truth about jokes
which both readers and writers recog-
nize in practice, but do not often formu-
late. 1t is this:
A good joke improves no less with
age than does wine. Once upon time
there was a famous speaker whose toll
erably bad lecture started off and ended
with two of the most exquisite jokes
ever invented People Travelled miles
and sat patiently through the same lect-
ure year after year to split their sides
laughing at the same old jokes. After
the effect of the Introductory joke had
worn off there was always perfect 81
lence until the lecture was three-quar-
tiers done, when the anticipations of an
audience which had never been swindled
would begin to break out in gurgling
laughter, mods, winks and whispers of
Its coming" And when at last this
well seasoned old chunk of wit brought
the performance to a close the very roof
was raised.
But one fatal night there was a bad
case of dyspeptfc pessimism in a front
seat 1t is true that when he roared

nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers
tender spot was touched. He prepared
new lecture, which began and ended
with two absolutely fresh jokes. When
the lecturer walked upon the platform
with his new manuscript in his hand he
received an ovation.
The first new joke seemed to stupefy
the people. But a few sentences of the
new lecture woke them up, and they rose
as one man and demanded their money
at the box office. At the next town the
lecturer affixed the old jokes to the new
lecture, and all went so well that he i;

Proof of the Earth,s Motion.

Any one can prove the rotary motion of
the earth on its axis by a simple expert
ment.
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water, and place it upon the floor
of a room which is not exposed to shaking
or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of lycopodium powder, white
substance, which is sometimes used for
the purposes of the toilet, and which can
be obtained at almost any apothecary's.
Then, upon the surface of this coating of
powder, make, with powdered charcoal, a
straight black line, say an inch or two
inches in length.
Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface
of the contents of the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close to the bowl, stick
or some other straight object, so that it
shall be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with a
crack in the floor, or with any stationary
object in the room, this viii serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturhed for a few
hours, and then observe the position Of
the black mark with reference TO the OBJ
ject that it was parallel with
1t will be found to have moved about
and to have moved from east to west,
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth ON
its axis
The earth, in simply revolving, has
carried the water and everything else in
the bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little. The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which is
perfectly good proof that everything else
has moved the other way.-German
Journal.

High Living at Washington.

In the meantime I hear continuous
complaints about the high prices of living
in Washington, and there is no doubt
that a radical change has gone on in this
regard. The rich men who have come
here entertain so grandly and dispense
their money so freely that, as Senator
Cullom told me the other day, the poor
statesman has hard time to keep within
the limits of his salary. Senator Cullom
said he has made nothing since he has
been in politics, and that he has lost his
money making sense by working in the
field of craftsmanship.
The days when congressman could
board on 81 day have long since gone
by, and the man who gets along now on
$50 week does remarkably well. If he
has his wife and children with him his
bills run well up in the hundreds per
month, and if he has not the chances are
that the allurements of Washington life
will carry him fast along the road to per-
dition. Letter.

THE K0OTENAI HERALD
Issued Every Saturday By
S. D. TAYLOR, Proprietor,


There was a queer scene ON the Bowery
a day or two ago, when one of the clothing
houses gave away 1000 overcoats to poor
boys, demanding quarter from each boy,
for some wise reason not clearly ex-
planned. The little gamins who sell the
papers got most of them. Possibly you
think that was good, and that they would
be snug and warm this winter. Well,
don't know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strangest part of our popu-
lation. They are like little rats or foxes.
Their origin is easy to get at; they are the
children of love, of paupers, of vaga-
bonds, and of the squalid tenement dis
tricts. Thousands either have no homes
or else don't go TO them, but live in lodg-
ings, newsboys' homes and in wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
of the CITY, The bootblacks are their
brothers and chums, and live in the same
way. They all smoke-either stumps,
picked up, or cigarettes at two for a cent.
Their stoves are the gratings over boilers
under the streets; their dissipation is at
tendance of the galleries of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun is found in
fighting.
''They are wild beasts" said the clerk
in the publication Office of a newspaper
the other day. "They are devoid of affec-
ton and gratitude. They swear at you if
you speak kindly to them, run away from
you if you offer them advice, jeer at you
if you are well dressed and pass group
of them. If we take pity on them and in
vite them into the press room in cold
weather they break the windows, hack
the woodwork and even go so far as to
take stones or weights and break the
heaviest iron work. While they wait in
the Office to buy papers they dig trenches
in the counters with the steel pens and
break the holders in two. One day one Of
the clerks gave one of these boys a good
derby hat that he had tired of. Another
clerk asked the boy why he did not say
Thank you 'A-a-a-h, the boy replied,
go chuck your mother overheard
What are you going to do with the hatp
the clerk asked. Sell it in Baxter street
for fifteen cents, he replied, and play
cruso wild de money '"-Julian Ralph's
New York Letter.

A curious Apache Belief.

The Apache Indians religious belief
prevents them from committing murder
in the dark. If dozen Apaches should
discover a man sleeping by his camp fire
at night no amount of money would hire
them to attack him until the sun came
up. They believe that if they kill man
at night their own souls will walk in
eternal darkness forever. Knowing this
curious superstition, hunters, scouts,
trappers and others travelling through
the Apache nation move about during
the night and lay by in some safe retreat
during the day.-St. Louis Republic.

SUNSET.

Shadows are falling on a glorious day,
As shadows fall at length on all things fair.
The chirping sparrow to its nest has flown,
And life seems like one sweet and silent prayer.
The western sky is but one mass of gold,
With streabs of red that soften with the gray.
It is that gate of heaven open thrown,
To welcome souls, whose tears have ceased TINS
day.
The golden light is what our crowns shall be;
The red. the blood that gainec us entrance
there;
The gray, the sorrows that are left without,
Now quickly fading in the golden glare
The music that steals softly DER the SOUL
Soothing the troubled, agitated breast
Is but the echo of the heavenly choir
Welcoming at eventide the souls at rest

A "Homeless" NovelIst.

Mr.. David Christie Murray has been
recounting to the good people of South
Australia how he become a novelist.
On his first arrival in London he found,
like so many others, the difficulty Of
getting employment on the press. Be-
fore the turn of the tide came, he says,
he had four days wandering in the
streets, and at nights sat on the benches
of the Thames embankment in most
curious company. He was at last helped
by the late John Lowell, of the Press
association, afterward of the Liverpool
Murcury, who invented" some work
for him, and sent him two guineas in a
pill box, labeled '"ro be taken imme-
diately. "-London Tit-Bits.

Eat end Dull Royalty.
2:32 Is

The obesity of the queen of England has
been bequeathed to all her feminine descend
ents 1t is difficult for the average Ameri-
can to reconcile royalty with fat, but it must
be done. When one hears of princess, who
is daughter or a granddaughter of the
queen, dumpiness rises at once to the mind.
1t is rather odd that none of them inherits
the late prince consort's trim figure The.
queens daughters, including the present en-
press of Germany, are heavy, almost shape
less and red faced women-the Youngest,
Princess Beatrice, is now approaching the
unwieldy. She is an ENJOYABLE contrast to
her much ridiculed husband, the slim and
well formed Prince Henry of Battenberg
Even the daughters of that slim and re-
markedly handsome woman, the Princess of
Wales, have come in for their grandmothers
heaviness of face and figure. The oldest of
them looks like heavy witted and dull
young woman, but she is good natured and.
loves her parents The other three grand
daughters of Victoria of England passed this
morning, while l was strolling in the park, in
a carriage with their royal mother, Victoria
of Germany They are nice homelike look
ing girls, with puffy cheeks and weak chins.
1t is not particularly gracious thing TO do,
this dwelling on the physical characteristics
of Queen VictoriaSs feminine descendants,
but the facts are very impressive to sightseers.
1t destroys all the charm and romance of
royalty, in spite of the most vivid imagina-
tion, this remarkable tendency to obesity in
the Victorian era. -Blakeiy Hall in New
York SIM

"Talk about the responsibility of a train
dispatcher" said a man in the waiting room
of the Palmer house; Elf you want to see
man who has on his shoulders a responsibility
far exceeding that of any train dispatcher in
the country look over there. That young
man is the room clerk of this hotel. 1t is his
business TO assign rooms to guests; he must
know when room is vacant and when it is
occupied. Can you not at once see what a
fearful responsibility rests upon himl What
if he sends a late and sleepy arrival to a room
already occupied9 What if-well, it is not
necessary for me to enlarge upon the horrible
possibilities. No wonder the room clerk
though young and strong, is getting look of
care on his face and few gray hairs in his
head. Chicago Herald.

Division of Land in California.

The big ranches of California are disap--
pearing with great rapidity. They will soon
be among the things of the past Until very
recent years tie big ranches of California
were in the nature of public calamity. The
owners could not or would not cultivate
them; nor would they subdivide and sell
them to persons who would cultivate. The
payment of reasonable taxation was skill
fully and successfully parried The big
ranches constituted for many years a barrier
to the development of California. Most of
them, which in many cases embraced leagues
of land capable of furnishing profitable en-
ployment to a large population, constituted
the field of industry of few vaqueros. But
the day came when the holding of large I'M
cultivated tracts of laiSd became too expen-
sive, owing to the natural and unavoidable
increase of taxes. Then began the era Of
their dissolution, and one after another the
princely domains granted under Mexican
rule to the dons of that period have been dis
appearing. -San Francisco Echoes.
