Streets Of Coral.

Georgetown, in the West Indies, Is q
CITY OF some little beauty, 1t is well
laid out with wide, straight avenues that
intersect at right angles. Many of the
public buildings and private dwellings
are we'll constructed and handsome. One
thing that pre-eminently distinguishes it
among tropical seaboard towns is Its red
dish brown streets. The public high
ways of all these cities are made from
coral sand, mud and powdered shells,
from the ocean bottom. The result Is
white, glaring streets, which reflect the
suns intensely hot rays, and make every
body feel twice as disagreeable as there
Is anv necessity for. In Georgetown
this mud, coral aud stuff is baked In a
LARGE pottery oven, whence it issues dark
and grateful to the eyes. 1t makes a
snlendid covering for tie tops of the
roads, hard, elastic and smooth. In the
middle of some of the prominent streets
canals have been cut, fed with wate
from a reservoir in the back country
Water lilies grow in the canals, thu
lenptb of the entire main street being
Given I'D to the development Of that mar
Tellous plant, the Victoria Regia. 1t
great flowers, scarlet and yellow, are

How to Make a Fortune.

If one wants to make fortune, an
easy road to it, according to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, is to invent an
ink that will flow from the pen black
and stay black forever after. 1t says:
No chemical black ink has yet been
made which will write black i'm
medlately on exposure. The common
black ink is made of nut-galls, and is by
all odds the best ink every made. Manu-
scripts made in this black INK oo, anc
600 years ago are just as leglble to-day a.
when first written. The chemical INKS
of the present are of too recent inven
ton to determine whether they will last
but it is quite probable that most o
them will be as le:.lble at the end Q
tfty CT seventy i've years as they are to
day.

A Study OF PUMPKINS.

The pumpkin was found here by the
early settlers. cultivated by the Indians,
among corn, as now. 1t is of a tropical
origin, and nourishes best in sunshine,
as is shown by the finest specimens grow
inc around the edges of the field. When
planting alone on rich soil, to which q
little phosphate has. been added, enor-
nous crops may be;obtained. A curl
Gus fact in its history is the presence OF
Its now useless tendrils, proving that IN
its native hauuts the pumpkin vine was
more aspiring in its habits of growth.
This vine is 50 prolific and its fruit so
immense with little attention that there
has been no necessity of improving the
original ''pie pumpldn;" indeed, 1t is
good enough for most people after haV-
Inc been manipulated by adainty cook.
MANY of the pumpkins grown are not OF
this variety, being either worthless crosses
with squashes, which have little OF

stock ON account OF their horney Kinds,
or the variety with shiny, bright orange

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Our heaviest burdens are those we
borrow.
Whe,e there is no faith there is no
obedience.
Much doing is not so important as
well doing.
Genius may be swift, but patience has
the surest feet.
A self-made man never gets tired of
Dragging on his job.
More people fall from encouragement
than from misfortune.
If grooming could heal broken bones,
nobody would be lame.
No man can look at the stars without
wanting to live forever.
If nobody had hobby the world
would soon stop moving.
There would be more good boys If
there were more good fathers.
Love never has to be watched to SEE
that it does a full days work.
Living only for what we can see,
proves that We are short sighted.
The man who loves most is not the
one who tries to keep the most.
Admiration is well enough in its way,
but it can never do the work of love.
A fanatic is q man who takes a burn
ing interest in something we don't like
The greatest blockhead is the one

Reckoning Bank Notes.

Many an interesting story might be
told OF the manner in which the BANK
notes are sometimes redeemed, writes
Harold ". George, III the Chautauqua'
They are sent to the Treasury Depart
ment il every conceivable form. Some.
times men will hide their money in the
chimnegs, and TIE good housewife,
ignorant Of the whereabouts of the treas
ure, will build up fire that heats the
chimney and sets fire to the valuable
contents. Mice and rats, particularly
in stores and banks. steal the precious
paper out OF tills and carry it :away to
make nests. Dogs destroy and swallow at
and goats, which are said 70
exist at times Gu the tin cans
and back-lot dcpos It's, are on record
at the Treasury as having tried to live
on rolls of money which came in their
vav, In cases Of this kind the animals
are killed, unless thought to be more or
valuable than the money lost, and the
little vads of pellets found in the stom.
achs of the offending quadrnpeds rescued
and forwarded for redemption. Babies
have also been known to swallow Valua'
BILE bank notes, but there is no record Of
one having been killed to make it dis
gorge what it had eaten.
It is a rule that no bank note can o.
redeemed unless at least three-fifths OF
are presented at the Treasury or the lose
makes affidavit that his money was los
under circumstances such as to preclude
its recovery. The strongest klnd o
evidence is necessary to make the GOV
ernmeDt officials redeem lost or destroye'
money when the notes in question ar
not forthcoming.

SPONTANEOUS Combustion.

A Young man of Parkenburg, W. Va,
employe of an oil company, and whose
wooden clothing was saturated with lin
seed oil and other infammables, was
washing his hands in benzine when his
clothing suddenly burst into flame. Inc
other employees extinguished the fire, and
he was found to be seriously burned. His
wounds were dressed in cotton waste
saturated with linseed oil, and he was
put to bed. Some hours after that the
bed caught fire, and he was again badly
burned. DR.. Cowden, the attending
physician, supposing the fires to orlgl-
nate in spontaneous combustion, pro-
ceeded to make some experiments, which
he thus describes: The first test was by
saturating waste with linseed oil and
keeping It at temperature of lao de-
crees; in three hours it began to smoke,
and in draft ignited. Second test, by
rubbing waste containing some paint and
the linseed oil on a wooden block tor
two minutes, then put in oil, both at a
temperature of ninety-fve degrees (no
quite the heat of the human body; i
took fire in less than one hour. Linseec
oil alone was used on the waste, with thu
same results. Fourth, linseed oil ant
waste were kept at ninety-tve degrees
three aud one-half hours, were taken GU
and rubbed, and soon began to smoke
and in a draft gnited. These expert
mcnts we're Intended to place the oil AM
waste as near as possible under the sam
conditions that they were in the bed o
the patient, and at about the same tenn
perature of his body heat. All the ex
periments brought about chemical oxide
ton and combustion. and there is reaso
to believe that the burning and suose
quent fire in his bed were from slmlla
causes.-New Orleans Picayune.
