A REAL pARls MADE LAnx.


But That Did Not Prevent the FIoov
Walker from Showing Her tho Door.
Here, you get out Of this Don't let
me catch you in this store again!"
a little feminine shrek followed this
rough salutation.

fashionably' dressed young lady in the
clutches of tailor made man. He
had torn open a little bundle which she
had just received from the package
desk, had forced back her money into
her hand, and with considerable rough
ness was hurrying her to the door
The face of the young woman was a
picture. She looked like an angry
queen. Her eyes were half afiame and
half drowned in tears Her magnifi-
cent teeth showed through the reddest
kind of lips, and her clear complexion
was like marble touched with the fine
scarlet of flowers.

most fashionable stores in the city,

walker, with a laugh Il should say |

My dear sir, she is one of tricks of the

In short, she is spy, and as we are
not permitted to hang spies in this war

them to the picket lines and let them

vigilance is the price of under selling"

Within few weeks man who handles
large amounts of silver, and who is some
thing of an expert on rare coins, found in his
currency a half dollar piece of 1858 without
arrows The oldest dealer in the west de-
clares that he has heard of but one other
piece like it, and thinks the value of this
piece is between $500 and $1,000. He thinks
that the omission Of the arrows from the de
was discovered after a mere handful of coins
had been struck off. The die was then bro
ken and the few coins sent into circulation
Save for the two above mentioned all have
disappeared, just as most of the famous silver
dollar issue of 1904 has Most of this latter
issue was sent into Florida to pay for SUD-
plies during the Seminole war 1t is supposed
that some Of the coins are still tlere in the
hands of negroes OF old settlers, who have
boarded them for years, Ignorant of their
rarity. The last dollar Of 1904 which was
offered for sale brought $50 at auction

A Turkey Roast.

Thomas Dreamer, an ex tramp, says:
Il think that tramps are never so hap
py as when having what they call a
turkey roast. 1t consists simply Of
this: When they steal a chicken or hen
they carry it into camp with its neck
well wrung and at once prepare fire.
The fowl is first well coated With soft
mud and poised on a couple Of sticks
over the fire and allowed to dry. In
fact, the bake is not taken down I'M
til the mud has been well burned, after
which it is cracked open. The feathers
adhere to the mud, leaving the chicken
nicely cooked. The division then fol-
lows, and no lords ever enjoyed a ban
quet as do they. Turkey roasts' are
most frequent in the spring and fall,
simply because fowl are easier to get. y.

Vaccination and Anti-yaccfnation,

Statistics are against the few persons who
insist that vaccination Is useless and unneces
sary. a compulsory vaccination law had
entirely driven out smallpox from Zurich,
so that not a case occurred in 1882. The law
was repealed in 1888, and in every 100.
deaths that year two We're caused by small
pox; in 1884 there We're three; in 1885. Il.
and in the first quarter of 1886, s.. In Eng.
land the deaths from this disease in lS3S-lS4.
were 57.2 per 100000 living; but in the five
years 1SS0-lSS4 the death rate was only 6. !
per 100000 Vaccination has not only vastly
reduced the number of victims directly. but
seems to have had an indirect influence ii
rendering the offspring Of vaccinated par.
ents less liable to the disease.

A Word Concerning Wrinkles.

word now on wrinkles The skin
has a natural tendency to form wrinkles,
even in youth, this tendency naturally in
rreasing with age. Every influence which
distends the skin for any tine must lead to
wrinkles and as q weak or imperfect circula-
ton of the blood viii make certain parts Of
the body swell, it is Of the greatest import
ance to keep the blood pure, and thus prevent
bloating, which is sure to be followed by
wrinkles. Ladies should take regular exer-
else III the open air, and keep early hours,
deliberately setting their face against excuses
in diet, if they wish to keep them free from
wrinkles for when they once come they are
most difficult to rid ones self of.-New York

Mhat Children shonId Learn.

Teach young girls and boys less about eli
Ouette forms and more about the spirit 01
love. Teach them not so much to dance 0nu
pose and receive gracefully, as to be quiclltC
do a service for any one in trouble or be
wilderment, alert to lend a helping hand
even if it be to the girl in the kitchen or the
homeless and hated traap on the street, ana
more mindful of others comfort than then
own. Teach them to deSpise vulgarity ano
low habits and uncleanliness of body or OF
mind: but teach them also that poverty is IL
disgrace and that the measure OF Il mans or
woman's worth lies never in the pocket or the
attire. Anybody can wear fine clothes, bat
not so many can earn them hop astly or 6
without them if beyond their means. The
man or the woman in a shabby coat or cloah
is more royal in the sight of honest men than
the dude who never pays his tailors bill, OF
the orirI who never lifts her lazy hand to earl
her living.

Canned Fruits in POmpeii.

A curious story is told of the origin of
canned fruits. Years ago, when the ex-
cavations were beginning at Pompeii,
some Jars of preserved figs were found
in the pantry of one Of the buried houses.
On being opened the fruit was found to
be fresh and good, thus showing that
centuries ago the art Of preserving fruit
was practiced and that we are indebted
to the ancients for many delicious dish.

Adverse claimants must file separ-
ate and distinct claim against each

diets with the premises owned by
such adverse claimant.
The papers in an sdverse claim
once filed, cannot be withdrawn, but
become part of the record.
When an adverse claim has been
filed it cannot be amended so as to
embrace larger portion of the premi-
ses than that described in the original
adverse claim.
And adverse claim must be made
out in proper form and filed in the
proper local office during the period
OF publication of the application to be
effective.
1t is the duty of the adverse claim
aut to commence suit In proper form
within the required time, and if he
intrusts the uncertain medium Of the
United States mail he must abide the
consequences, should delay ensue,
through misfortune or accident.
Should the failure to commence suit
be the result Of the corrupt or dishon-
est action of his attorneys, the Inte-
