It's n Trick of the Trade.

i was surprised to learn a few DAYS
ago" said one gentleman to a compan-
ion in an IL" road car last night, ac-
cording to the n Y. AdUertiSer, that
the grapes we eat at dessert, especially
the white varieties. may have been
plucked from the vines month be-
lore. 4 few days ago ! went to {.
fruit store near my home and asked
for two pounds of white grapes, Incl
dentally remarking that they were for
my little boy, who was sick.
why don't YOU take one of these
five pound baskcts?' asked the dealer.
They arc somewhat cheaper when
bought in such quantities. and besides
viii put preservative ON the grapes
that. while it will not impair their ap-
pearaace or taste and is not in the
least injurious TO the stomach. will
keep them for two or three weeks.
Taste one of those grapes and he
pointed to big basket of line fruit.
Inc grapes were sound and of fine
flavor Those grapes YOU have eaten
ne said, have been in stock two months
and can probably keep them as much
longer | do not know what the pre-
sentative is composed Of | get it
from big firm OF chemists down town
and they guarantee there is nothing
injurious in it. | have never tried il
on any kind of fruit except grapes, but
guess it would prove just as eilica-
cious on peaches or plums."

How to Sharpen Pencils.

Inventive genius promises to do
away with all of those petty annoy
ances which are the most prolific
sources of profanity. True, the saint
has not yet appeared who is ready to
furnish mankind at a small cost with
a patent collar button finder or with
an opera glass warranted to see through
love of a bonnet" designed on Eiffel
Tower lines, but even those blessings
may be hoped for. However, you who
in loud voice or under thy breath
make thyselyes undeserving of the gift
of speech over such a trivial matter as
the breaking off of the points of thy
lead pencils at the most inopportune
time. there is no longer any excuse
for thee. Genius has wiped out that
cause of thy undoing. Relief has come
in the shape of a pencil which, while
not eyerlastingly pointed, yet gives
opportunity to men to break about as
many points as any reasonable man
would want to break and still have a
point left to keep on writing with.
The article consists of a very light
metal tube, shaped and colored like an
ordinary lead pencil. In this tube are
inserted about Il dozen short and nicely
sharpened pencil points. Ifyou break
off the first you just pull it out and
stick it in the top. That forces the
second point down into position. So
you can keep on getting a new point
whenever you break one off by just
pulling out the broken point and
sticking it in the top of the tube
But what do you do when you have
broken off all of the dozen pencil
points,"
Why, just throw the whole business
away. The little tube with its load of
sharpened pencils costs just about the
same as an ordinary pencil and will
do just about the same amount of work.
With it, however, you always have
command of a sharpened pencil point
and you never have to smudge your
fingers as you do when sharpening a
pencil.
A curious thing about the little ar
ticle is that the pencil points are made
in Jersey City. the tubes are made in
Chicago, the two are put together in
Adrian, Mich, and the production
finds its distributing point in New York
city.-N y. Times.

HE HAD DONE HIS PART.

In one of Chicago's suburbs there
IS an old darby noted for his original
ity of expression. He is employed
as a man of all work about the house
of well to do lawyer, while his wife,
an aged though buxom nanny,
comes once a week to scrub and do
the family washing Years OF indus
try have rewarded the ebon hued
couple with a neat little bank account,
and outward evidence Of thrift Is
shown in costly furnished cottage
situated not far from their employers
residence.
Perhaps their thrift might also be
ascribed to mammy's propensity Tor
taking things that didn't belong to
her. For several weeks the lawyers
wife noticed that with each Washday
some little knickknack or ornament
would disappear but as the
articles were of trifing value she
demurred accusing the old negress OF
stealing them
One. day, however, handsome piece
of brio a-brac was missed, and she
communicated her suspicious to her
husband. The latter volunteered to
take the matter in charge, and that
evening set out for the old folks cot
tage. Arriving there he found the
male half of the household sitting on
the veranda, SO sat down to chat with
him. When the lawyer had a good
chance he peered through the open
doorway into the house, and much te
his surprise (?) the FIST thing that
met his gaze was the missing brlc-s
brac. He turned to the old man ano
asked how the article happened to bt
in their possession. The old fellow
fairly grew pale with fright ane
tremblingly gasped:
''Fo' de Lawd's sake, sab, L dom

A MAN THERMOMETER.

Lean men make the best thermo-
meters. Fahrenheit never invented
better ones. If the weather is warm
and sunny, they are cheerful. II
cold and frosty, they are irritable
and snappy. If damp and cloudy,
they are downcast and gloomy. But
if either lean or fat men are suffering
from biliousness, headache, consti-
patton, or indigestion, the weather
will always be damp and cloudy in
their locality, unless they use DR.

Pellets are small, sugar-coateo
granules, calculated to start the liver
and digestive organs into healthy
activity, and thereby raise low spirits
and dispel gloom.
