Wise

Among the frequent visitors at the
shop of Mr.. Vickery, a we'll known tax
ider1nist, was ali old colored ina who
was quite q character in his way, and
with whom Mr.. Vickery used to enjoy
talking. One day he happened in just
as Mr.. Vickery had finished skinning a
bald eagle. Would you like a goose to
take home with you?' asked the taxi
dermist, pointing to the body of the
bird, which lay wrapped in q paper on a
shelf.
Yes, sah," replied the unsuspicious
negro. "Id be nightly 'bliged to you,
sal!.'
The package was handed over to him,
and he departed rejoicing. Not long
afterward the taxidermist met him on
the street. and inquired how he had en-
joyed his goose dinner.
Dat goose var de toughest goose dat
evcr | See" replied The darby, looking
his questioner full in the eye without 4
shadow of q smile. Il billed him a..
parbiled linn an billed him again, but he
was Guttinly de chewin'est bird dat ever
me CT my ole woman seed"
With that the old mar walked calmly
away.
a few days later the darby called Oh
the taXidermist again. As he was leav-
ing the shop Mr.. Vickery said, pointing
to a paper in which a cnowy owl was
carefully wrapped up, Don't you want
another goose tOdav?"
III you'll 'xcuse my plain speakin,

WORLDS FAIR T

The Worlds fair directory has expend'
ed up to date approximately $7,250,0 900
The secretary Of Michigan's Worlds
fair commission has estimated that ESQ.,.
000 people from Michigan will visit the
Worlds fair.
Foreign governments participating in
the Worlds fair have been requested tC
furnish, before Sept. 1, the plans Of the
buildings, if any, which they propose to
erect at the exposition.
An effort is being made to show by
an exhibit in the Woman's building at
the Worlds fair the relics and data of
the past and present literature, musical,
dramatic, industrial and philanthrOpic
work of women.
Miss Cecil Charles, who has been ap-
pointed Worlds fair commissioner fo1
Costa RIGA, thoroughly understands the
language and customs Of that country,
and will doubtless aid materially in OBJ
tanning a good exhibit for the exposi-
son.
New York will have one of the finest
state buildings at the Worlds fair. 1t
will be so feet wide by 200 feet long and
three stories high. Inclusive of donated
material and decorations the structure
will represent an expenditure of more
than $4,000.
All of the great Worlds fair build
ings except two are practically finished.
A portion of the interior finishing and
decorating is all that remains to be done
on most of them. On the Manufactures
building and Machinery hall work is be-
ing pushed sixteen hours a day.

Silk Keeling in Kansas.

1t may seem strange, but Kansas is
now the only silk producing state in
America. Other states grow cOcOons
but only Kansas now unwinds the deli
cate fiber with which the worm cloisters
itself from the world.
The reason is that the two govern.
ment stations, one at Philadelphia and
one at Washington, received no appro'
priation from the last congress, and the
experiments at these points must stoI
for the present, for silk raising III
America is commercially yet in the eX'
detrimental stage.
All of the stations, called filatures,
where the silk is reeled, and there arc
only three of them, have required feder.
al or state support. The third filature is
in the little town of Peabody, lS4 miles
west of Kansas City, on the Santa Fe
road. 1t is known as the Kansas silk sta
ton, and last year received from the
state Legislature an appropriation OF
$1,000. DR.. l.. A. Buck, superintendent
of the station, had asked for $1O,0 zoo, but
he says he received more than he ex-
pected, for every appropriation was very
closely scanned.
The legislature may we'll have been
liberal with the Kansas silk station, fol-
it is the forerunner of an industry which
promises to bring the state great wealth
and fame. Superintendent Buck, i'll his
last report to Governor Humphrey, says

for eggs come from forty-six countless

The Cultivation of HumOr.

After considerable effort" says a
man and father, Il think I have cul-
tivated a sense of humorin my young
son. He did not possess it naturally,
but l have taken home and had him
read the humorous papers and peri
odicals, have told him funny stories
that l would hear and made him see
the funny side of things whenever
possible. And now l notice that he
enjoys a joke and sees the point with
more zest than l expected possible a
short time ago"
To take life not fippantly, but
humorously, is more than a valuable
accomplishments is a positive boon
and blessing, and parents ought to
regard humor developing more than
they do in the training of their chill
dren. When Charles Dickens created
Mark Tapley he conferred a distinct
favor on mankind, and the spirit
which helps us to be cheerful under
depressing circumstances" is the one
that is akin to the habit of finding a
merry side to the affairs Of this
world.
There is a wide difference between
humor and frivolity; when we have
found the difference we cannot have
too much of the former. In particu-
lar do women need the leaven of a
joyous spirit. Too many + prone
to seriousness, which often becomes
absolute and pervading gloom.-New
York Times.

lightning plays some queer pranks,"

years ago and sought refuge from a
thunderstorm in a farmhouse. The
farmer undertook to build a fire in the

bolt of blue fire shot out of the stove
into his face. He fell back as limp as a
wet newspaper. The lighting tore off
all his clothing with the exception of
one boot and one trousers leg. There
was a streak down through his beard,
across his breast and down one leg as
though made by a redhot poker. l sup

Some Common EXPRESSIONS.

Men use few adiectives as a rule
men of mature years; that is, not the
freshman or the early cigarette man

fancy in speech to use inappropriate
