why he Mover Lick. Stamps.


Ono day after coming from the post
Office put dozen stamps in my desk
and closed the lid. Then went away
and returned again an hour or 80 after
ward. Upon opening my desk I saw
upon these stamps at least a dozen big,
nasty looking reaches, or water bugs"
as they are sometimes called. They
seemed to be SO intent upon some occu-
patton that they did not run away with
the almost lightninglike rapidity with
which they usually disappeared when
ever the desk was opened.
At first thought that they were stuck
to the stamps. but upon observing lit
tie closer saw that they moved about,
and was finally convinced that they
were eating the gInn from the backs of
the stamps. BY placing large reading
glass SO as to magnify the reaches, OBJ
served that they secreted saliva on the
gum and then when it became soft they
seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots
appeared on the stamps, and these spots
gradually grew larger until the stamps
had the appearance Of stamps FROM
which l had imagined the gum had
evaporated.
Since that time you may be sure
never touch my tongue to a postage
stamp, and it almost nauseates me to see
any one else do it.-Interview in New

north side of Park place, just off Broad

cept Sundays. He is an Italian, and ap-
parently not more than twelve or thir-
teen years old. During the year that he
has been selling papers in that particu-
lar locality he has built up trade that
keeps him busy nearly all of the time.
He is seldom heard TO ask passer by to
buy a paper. A very large proportion
of the men who take papers from him
are his regular customers. His keen eye
discerns them half block away. He
knows what papers they want and has
them ready rs the customer passes.
Most of the customers also have the
exact price of the papers ready to drop
into the boys hand, and it is seldom that
word passes between the lad and his
regular customers. Ono of the boys
regular customers observed on Friday
evening that the little fellow had no
overcoat and questioned him about it.

nown, is close by. The old rocks, which
were too low grade for King Solomons
reduction processes, are being ground
up and they average half an ounce to
the ton. Tbis gold field of Solomon's,
which has been idle all of the centuries
until now, is on the Malay peninsula.
The people who have gone in to de-
velop it have had to cut seven miles of
road through the jungle and clear sixty
miles Of river. They are just beginning
to realize on their investment. The
company with the big capital has con-
cession on twenty square miles of this
gold field. The formation is black
slate. A shaft sunk 100 feet on the lode
has uncovered enough ore to keep the
mill going year. The ore will yield
two ounces to the ton. In one place on
the concession there is hill $50 feet
high and half mile long.
The company has tunneled into this
hill about half way from the bottom and
found ore ranging from seven penny
weights to seven ounces of gold. The
reef varies in width from two to nine
feet. Even the loose rocks scattered
about on the hillside yield half an ounce
of gold to the ton. The superintendent
said to the American consul recently:

this kind so extensive in the world.

Discouraging tho Use of Tobacco.

Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin
college, did not like to have the students
chew tobacco during recitations and
took effectual means to break up the
practice. A boy who was called upon
to recite one day, not expecting to be
"pulled," as the saying goes, on the next
day in succession, would go into the
class and chew tobacco during the hour.
Whenever "Cosine" noted this he was
morally certain to ask that student q
few questions, and by keeping him up
fifteen minutes or SO would manage to
put him in position where he would
either have to swallow copious amount
of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous
treatment had beneficial effect.-Lew-

Stories That DeshOp Hare Tells.
Bishop Hare. of South Dakota, Is fond
Of telling stories about himself to illus
trate the point which he playfully makes
that man who lives long on the plains
comes to be good deal Of barbarian.
Once, so one Of the stories runs, he had
the misfortune while entering dining
room in this city to step upon the skirt of
lady's dress. Apologizing, he said,
"You know that have been living with
the Indians lately and have grown some
what awkward"
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied,
81 don't think that, bishop; but I am sur
prised at one thing, that after living SO
long with the Indians you shouldn't he
better at following up trail"
A few evenings later another little af-
fair occurred, the story of which the
bishop tells as follows:
81 was talking with charming WON
an when up came a gentleman who
claimed her attention for a moment in
another part of the house. AS she went
away she gave me her ice and asked me
to keep it for her. She had hardly gone

Tho Cave Craze.

Half dozen of our lads have lately
had the cave craze. They have been
reading dime literature and became the
slaves of en- intense desire to become
robbers and live in caves. One day q
few weeks since they took shovels, picks
and hoes and went into piece of woods
near the city, and without even think
ing whose the property might be, began
to dig a cave. A hole four feet square
and seven feet deep was dug. At the
bottom the hole was widened to nearly
eight feet. Over this was placed old
planks and brush and leaves, so that the
"cave' was completely hidden. Here
they crawled into their "wild abode
and imagined all sorts Of terrible things
of themselves.
About a week ago the owner Of the
woods happened to be going by the spot
and noticed smoke rising from tho
ground He poked around in the leaves
and discovered Che boys smoking ciga-
rettes. "What arc you doing down
therer he called. 1--WE are robbers and
we'll cut your throat" said one youthful
voice. "No we amt either, said another
rather frightened boy; "we're only boys
md we won't hurt you. This is our
cave
The cHner of the land made the boys
get up oat of tho pit, and while they
were crawlir.; mp cut brace of birches.
But when six Ids in knee pants stood

them by making theni Immediately take
