ED. INDEPENDENT:-People from
far and near assembled ut the Mound
Valley schholhouse last Friday eve,
to attend IA leap year ball given by
the ladies of that valley.
The party proved to be q grand

woman and child enjoyed themselves
immensely. The ball was superin-
tended by Mrs. Carville and Mrs.
Merkley, two Of the most prominent

in making all enjoy themselves shall
never be forgotten.
The proceedings opened with a
grand march led by Mr.. T.. Ouder-
kirk and Mrs. G. Griswold. At about
IL O'Clock Mr.. E. s. harrington de-
livered a speech on ''silver," which
was highly appreciated by all who
were present. At midnight a boun-
teous supper was spread and the
table fairly groaned under the de-
licacies of the season.
After supper we we're amused a
few minutes by a "Highland Fling,
which was danced to perfection by
Mrs. Toyn and Mr.. Young.
Dancing was resumed until the
"wee sma" hours, when all went

for my annual DIVORCE" she laughed.
You perhaps wonder what that is, but
1t Is really the greatest of social insti-
buttons, and I would die without it. I
mean the six or eight weeks every sum-
mer that l can go away and be just like
a young girl once more.
81 love Jack very dearly, but 1 would
get very tired Of him If it were not for
this yearly respite. We are very happy
now over our reunion, whereas If he
had seen me every day all summer
long he would be wanting to 90 out
every night and leaving me alone in.
stead of doing escort duty. 1t is q great
scheme, and should be adopted by all
wives"
Poor, elastic wedding vows, we
thought. ''Till death do us part" has
not the significance it once did in
the good old days of our fathers and
mothers, when an annual divorce"
would have been regarded with holy
horror.

The Barber Tree,

There are many odd and curious speci- mems of botanical rarities in the Govern ment Botanical gardens at Washington. None, however, attracts more attention than that remarkable oriental oddity, the 'barber plant" It was not given it's odd name, as some might suppose, be- cause it's leaves are like razors or its sap like lather. Neither will its inner bark make splendid towels (as is said of the vegetable cloth" tree), or it's seeds make razor homes. Itis simply called the bar Der plant because the juices of either the leaves or fruit applied to the face pre- vents the beard from growing. MT. Davis says that this does not apply to cases where the beard has taken root, but that it may be applied with perfect safety by boys who desire to keep the hair on their faces from getting start.

One Kind of . President.

A cooking lecturer, who has brushed against the world long enough not to be surprised atstrange things in business, received a letter the other day which made her confess to astonishment. She had planned to bring over her Philadel- phia class of cooking teachers to visit the food show. Intending to remain in the city two days with the class, she wrote to various makers of food staples, expressing wish that she might visit their factories with her class.
 From one of them came this answer: If you will call at our office we will be glad to furnish, as an escort to your party for visit to our factory, our president, who has never yet visited it. " The factory had been running three years, and it was started and equipped with more than $500.000 of the presi- dents personal fortune.-New York Times

THE HOPS OF HIS OLD AGE.
Story of a Youth Who Was Overcome by
 Gratitude.

a
 Gratitude.
 Ut has cost me B. 800 to carry you through college Hiram, but l don't regret it. A good education, my boy, is the right foundation for success in life"
 The we'll preserved old man leaned back in his chair and looked with pride on the youth who stood before him.
 ''No matter what calling or profession you may adopt" he continued, ''the knowledge you have acquired and the men, tai discipline you have passed through will be found indispensable. In the race for supremacy you can now start on an equal footing with the best of them"
 "Yes-that's so," assented the young man.
 "I have not been able to keep track of your progress as I should have liked, but your standing in your class was fully upto the average, wasn't itS"
 "Ya-as."
 And you took your part in the regular college athletics, presume"
 "I didn't waste any time on baseball or rowing, but I was no slouch with the gloves"
 "I have never had any complaints from the faculty, and I infer that your behavior was generally satisfactory. Absorbed in business as have been, could not exer- else that personal supervision over you that a watchful father should have done, per haps, but have trusted to the good effects of early training. And have been gener- ous with you, have l not, as regards spend ing moneyp
 "Oh, yes"
 "And now, my boy, what are your plans for the futureS Have you formed anyS"
 "Well, have thought l should like to travel in Europe year or two"
 "H'ml That's pretty expensive, Hiram" The young man put his hands in his pockets and strode back and forth impa tiently.
 "They all do it," he said, with cloud on his brow. "A fellows education isn't finished until he's travelled and seen the world"
 "How much will it cost to give you the trip you wantP"
 About $500"
 "H'mi That would make s10,0O0p'
 The old man pondered in silence a few moments
 'It's pretty large sum to spend on a boys education, Hiram," he said, ''yet it may be that you are right. 1 had to do without European tour until had made the money myself, and I got along con- fortably on $6OO, but the world isn't ex- actly what it was in my young days. You shall have the money"
 The young man was touched. A glow of gratitude lit mp his somewhat pallid face He thrust his hand in breast pock- ct, pulled out a small paper box, opened it, and extended it to his father.

Quinine Is Very Cheap Now.

Perhaps no drug known to medicine is more generally used than quin;ne, and certainly none presents such wide difference in price as the quinine sold six years ago and that sold now. At that time nearly all the cinchona bark, from which it is extracted, was brought from South America, subject to heavy import duty. But the duty was taken off, and this marked the first big de- cline in price. Before that time it sold for about one dollar an ounce.
 Shortly after this English capitalists concluded that the bark could be grown in India as we'll as in South America, and large plantations were purchased. The climate and soil suited admirably, and by scientific culture the yield was greatly increased. From India the bark is largely shipped to England and the quinine extracted, being sent here in crystals.-Philadelphia Record.

A Singular Novelist.

Not long ago the Paris newspapers re- corded the death and cremation of M. Jules Stapleaux, writer of romances which were published as feuillet ons at the foot of the columns of French country journals.
 Stapleaux was well known to the liter ary men of Paris who describe him as one of the brightest of conversationists, but probably the worst story writer in France. The badness, from a literary point of view, of his stories was we'll known to Stapleaux himself, who took jokes on the subject good naturedly.
 A newspaper once engaged him to write a serial as feuilleton. It ran daily, until the subscribers began to stop their papers in large numbers, when one day the pro prietor of the journal came to the author of the unpopular romance. Look herel' he exclaimed. Your story has been running six months and bids fair to last forever. The subscribers are in rebellion"
 "Well9" said Stapleaux innocently.
 "Well! will give you just three days to wind the thing up!"
 Impossible! Just think of it. The countess is at Clermont, Jean Duroc is away off in Martinique, Cherbaty, the spy, is on the point of being arrested. How iu the world am going to bring all this to q wind up in three chapters"

Her services are so much in de- mand that she is sometimes engaged as far as three weeks ahead. Business women and tired mothers who cannot otherwise leave their homes find her services of great value. This adds an other to the many expedients by which refined women, too delicate or retiring, may earn a livelihood without leaving their homes. s.-Boston Letter.

What Geology Teaches.

We claim that geology holds rank with astronomy or biology. The former science tells us of the existence of other worlds than ours and gives us some con- ception of the imnensity of space. The study of plants and animals carries an impressive lesson as to the unity prevail ing amid all the diversity of nature, be- sides affording the hope that we may at some time discover the origin of life. since it has already opened the way to an explanation of the origin of the ex- isting forms of life, while the grand outcome of geological study is that it brings wildly before the mind the inn mensity of time. enabling us to realize that time is only less than eternity Profsssor A, 3.
