INNOCENT CHILD.

She Was In Summer Hotel and So jus
titled Her Mothers Claim.
They were sitting on the porch after
breakfast, and the local pastor was
speaking Of the great need of two new
plates for the collection. The cost
would not be over five dollars. The
girl with the pink silk skirt, who
couldn't make up her mind whether tc
give the bureau cover she was working
to Harry or Wood, thought she would
compromise and offered to rattle it for
the church, says the New York Even.
ing Sun.
Good" said the married lady with
the blue skirt. "That will be fifty
chances at ten cents a chance"
This made the lady with the pinl,
skirt look sleepy, for she had expected
the proceeds to be sufficient for no,
only the plates, but new pews. steeple
with a clock and set of chimes.
Then all the people in the hotel
gathered together, and the man from
Sandusky who had never seen the
water loaned his yachting cap. The
hotel was of the class where there is a
great deal of time, but not much hilarit,
or food. So to make it last long they
decided to put fifty tickets in the ha'
and the last one drawn was to get til,
bureau cover. And then the question
arose as to who should draw them.
The funny man said, without any
hesitation: "An innocent child"
And then all the mothers of children
looked around for their last born.
The lady with the blue skirt spied
hers first and said: Come, little
gClden-haired Frances. none can be
more innocent than you. Come and
draw fifty tickets out of this hat, slow
ly and one at time"
Say, ma" said golden-haired Fran
ces, you make me drowsy. Do you
think I've got glass arm?"

LUCKY MONEY.
How Negro Acted Over Coin He Had
Found.

How Negro Acted Over Coin He Had
Found.
A negro running along downtown
street at headlong speed with small
lath in his hand, on which he balanced
a coin of some denomination, was a
source of much mystery to those who
saw him, says the Philadelphia Record.
Away he flew up the street, jumping
cutters and other distractions, mean
while frantically yelling to the few
pedestrians to keep out Of the way, un-
til he finally disappeared in small
court. Nobody seemed to be able to
give an explanation Of the strange per-
Torrance until another colored man
came along and threw some light on
the subject. He said the other negro
had found the coin in the street, and,
without touching it with his hand, had
covered 1t up with dirt while he went
off to find the lath or something SINH
lar, with which he returned to the
place where the coin was concealed
and scraped the latter out of the dirt.
He then ran as fast as he could to the
nearest policy shop, where it was his
intention to invest the lucky money.
1t was his firm belief that the quicker
he got to his destination the greater
would be his luck. To touch the coin
with his fingers would have broken the

FROM RUFF TO NEckTIe.
The Difference Between Modern and An
Client Neckwear.

The Difference Between Modern and An
Client Neckwear.
The necktie, now become purely or
namental detail Of dress, was originally
useful. 1t was intended to protect the
throat. Its history may be traced from
the time of the Stuarts in England,
when immense rufus, which served as
neckcloths and collars, were worn.
Later neckcloths or cravats were
adopted, and no doubt were welcome
change from the stiff, uncomfortable
ruff. They were of Brussels or Elan
ders lace, tied in knot under the hin,
the ends being allowed to hang square.
Still later they were worn much
longer, the ends being fastened through
the button-holes of the waistcoat.
The lace neckcloth, says Youths Com
panion. was succeeded by small cam
brio bands, but was reintroduced in
Queen Anne's reign, and did not go out
Of use entirely until about 1885, Then
broad silk ribbon, tied in large bow
in front, was worn, and this in turn
was followed by white cambria stocks
buckled in the back, and by muslin
cravats which were tied in front in an
immense bow.
In the early part of this century the
stiff linen collar had begun to be worn,
and the cravat was passed twice around
the collar, and tied in fanciful bow in
front.
About 1920 cravats were made very
wide in the center, and tapered off
toward the ends. Thirty years ago
stocks and cravats began to disappear,
and scarfs began to take their place.
From these scarfs, gradually growing
smaller, was developed the modern neat
necktie.

London boasts weekly journal
with large circulation through whose
columns some queer exchanges are car
ried on. The following are taken at
random:
"Grandfathers' clock, oak case. eight

cash, or will take half dozen under
shirts. Apply to the Rev. Cleveland,
Yorkshire"
"A handsome new dress is offered in
exchange for bookcase, three feet
high, with glass doors; also hall table
and occasional chair"
"a sponge bath for sale cheap, have
no further use for it." The next line
intensifies the humor of the preced-
ing: "Will take half dozen new or
dozen second hand silk pocket handker-
chiefs"
Half a dozen demands appear for
boots. One gentleman, who signs car

boots, small Fights, very good; will take

Now look at the next advertisement:

OCEAN CABLES.

Cost and Extent OF tn Submarine Tele-

According to TIE latest report of the
international bureau of telegraph ad-
ministrations, the a'.5aa4c sine TELEGRAPH
system of the world consists of 40, O7O
nautical miles OF cable. Government
administrations, says Scribner, own 49,
324 miles, While l)7..5t5 are the proper

OF these cables IL in the vicinity of
$500, 100000. The largest owner of sub
marine cables is the Eastern TELEGRAPH
Company, whose system covers the
ground from England to India, and
comprises 2l.5j) miles of cable. The
eastern extension, which exploits the
far east, has i2.J,S miles more. Early
in that year ths aystem of West African
cables, which started from Cadiz only
six years aro, was completed to Cape

CLIMBING RABBITS.

Strange Transform Itlon Resulting from
Changed Conditions of Life.
The effect upon animals of a change
In the conditions of their life is favor
lite topic among biologists and biolog
lists, who find that nearly every specie
Of animal existed in some other than it
present form, at some previous epoch O
the world. The whale, for instance.
was once a land animal. Fore 4 to
take to the water for a living, he be-
came, in time, much more like fish in
shape than like land animal.
According to a Tasmanian paper. the
Hobart Mercury, a modification of the
form of familiar European animal is
going on in the Australian world under
the eyes of the people there.
The Australian rabbit, imported from
England, is acquiring nails on his feet
and learning to climb. As is well
known, the rabbits of Australia have
increased to such enormous numbers
that they have become a great pest
swarming over the land and devouring
the farmers crops.
In order to protect their fields, the
farmers put up wire MEETINGS in place of
fences. The rabbits could not get
through these, but they presently began
to burrow beneath them.
Then the farmers sank the net
tings six or eight inches into the soil.
This stopped the rabbits from getting
in by digging, but they presently began
to attempt to get over the netting.
AS the result of the climbing, it is
said, the rabbits are developing a nail
in their toes. The nail development
has been noted in Queensland and still
later in Tasmania.
According to the theory of natural
selection, it is likely presently to hap
pen that in certain districts only those
'abbits will survive which can climb ut
east little; and in this way race of
climbing rabbits may be developed.
