A Dollar Well Expended.

A tall, lank man walked across Madison

met with the query, want to buy a mocking

eight inches square in his hand, inside iuttered

George Francis IF this bird had been in seven

Then, untying the string, he lifted the cover

appear TO be a particularly industrious soul,
looked at Train with an expression Of disgust.
"You re a chump." he said You're another"
returned the citizen. "Why don't you go to
work instead of peddling your little boy pets?

the bird, evidently weary with his cramped
wings sat on neighboring branch and began
to make his toilet, meanwhile thanking his lib

real pleasure than a pint of peanuts, said Mr..
Train, and the mocking bird doubtless thought
the same.

The Mules We're Delighted.

81 saw an odd sight in Luzerne county a few
days ago, said Eckley B. Coke, OF Drifton to a
Philadelphia Times writer. six mules that had
for four years hauled cars in the lower Workings
of colliery, to and from the foot OF the snak
had to be brought up owing to the flooding of
the mine on account of fire. The mules In all
that time had seen no light stronger than the
flicker OF the little Davy lamps the miners car
ried. The sun was in the zenith when they
reached the surface and tho atmosphere was as
clear as crystal.
Tho astonshed creatures closed their eyes to
shut out the flood of strong light and kept
them tightly closed while they we're driven to
pasture lot mile distant and turned loose
There they stood trembling, as if they were
afraid something evil was about to befall them.
Presently they half-opened their eyes and
peeped around in actual open-mouthed amaze
ment. 1t was clear that they couldn't under
stand it. When they became accustomed to the
sunlight they elevated their heads AMI slowly
swept culm piles, mountains, sky and horizon
again and again. Toward shutdown they broke
in a chorus OF joyous brays, the Ike Of which
was never heard from mules before.
AFTER quarter of an hour Of that music
they took to kicking, jumping, whirling about
like teetotums and rolling on the sod as though
they had gone mad. For four days they spent
their time staring at the new sights of field and
sky refusing food and water, not even nibbling
at the grass and not as much as blinking an eye
In sleep. After they had looked enough their
appetite and thirst returned and they became
common everyday mules, but while they were

Maine Farmers in Good Circumstances
The farmers of Maine, according to
census bulletin just issued, giving owner
ship aud debt statistics of farms, homes and
mortgages in that state, are IN very pros
porous condition, notwithstanding some
few OF them have TO pay as high as II per
cent interest on the money they borrow.
This number paying such a rate OF interest
or june l 1890, was very small, however,
most of those who were forced to borrow
being able to SECURE loans at per cent.
The facts OF chief interest set forth in the
bulletin are that on June !, 1890, in Maine.
in every 100 farms, we're hired, 20 were
owned under incumbranoe and u were
owned without incumbrsnce; that in every
100 homes, on the average 50 were hired, 10
were ownst under inoumbrance aud 80
we're owned without incumbrance. In the
larger cities Of the state an average
of "a homes in 100 we're hired, were
owned with incumbrance and % were
owned without incumbrsnce The average
mortgaged farm was worth Sl,449, upon
which the average incumbrance was 1892.

that we're not on farms The results stated
were ascertained by what is called ''pri-
marty an investigation of farm and home
proprietorship, and not Of Indebtedness"
1t would be interesting to know what
percentage of the thrifty farm owners of
Maine depend upon their farms entirely for
support, and how many Of them are ship
carpenters, loggers ice cutters, or other
kind of handicrsftsmen, during the winter
season, when farm work is impossible.
That they turn their hands to anything and
everything, and are pretty good jacks-at-
all-trades, is well-known fact. and it is
greatly TO their credit. At the same time,
the census bulletin makes it appear that
they have digged their independence-for
they are. indeed well>to-do, according to
the showing made-out Of earth that is
frozen quite half the year, which may not
be the whole truth.

The ssmi-professionsl games Of base bali
played in this city. Augusta, Columbia, At

have, IL seems, revived the old time en-
thusiasm for the national game, and ar
engagements for southern league are being
discussed. A league organized on business
principles under a careful central manage
ment that would do exact justice to all the
cities in the league and 50 distribute the
players that each club would be about as
strong as any other, might make a success

were not bound by iron-clad agreements and
run for the amusement OF the public, any
attempt at another southern league would
be more than apt to end as all previous at

Not long ago Canadian arrived in buf-

one Of the big railroads. He was a married
man, and left his wife ''across the river, ~
that is, in Canada, when he entered the
states to look for work. Having secured a
job he reorossed the river to accompany her
to their new home. But when he attempted
TO re-enter the United States he was stopped,
under the alien labor law The matter was
appealed TO the treasury department, which
has ruled that foreigner who makes oon-
tract in this country to work here aud then
returns to his own country cannot come
back for the purpose of fulfilling his con-
tract without violating the law. The point
involved was new. The ruling Of the de-
partment upon 1t will not prevent other
Canadians from coming over and securing
employment, as this one did. but it will
force them 70 invest in American postage
stamps when they wish 90 advise their
wives TO join them on this side.

vespucius and the Worlds Fair.

VespuciuS and the Worlds Fair.
1t seems that nobody connected with the
worlds Columbian exposition has given
much thought to Amerious Vespucius, the
Florentine navigator in whose honor the
new world was named. Or, il they thought
OF him at all, it was probably with the old
scboolboy idea that Vespucius was honored
too much in the naming Of the continent,
and deserves no more notice His con-
nection with the naming of the continent
has never been clearly understood. There
may be, as is now asserted, little reason to
believe that he published the book at
st. Die, Lorraine, in which 1t was
first suggested that the new dis
covery should be called America
but the popular belief is that he
named the continent himself Even if
he did not, history tells US that he was ac-
quainted with Columbus ana knew of his
successful voyage. Yet it Is not said that
be protested against the injustice done to
the real discoverer. For these reasons there
has always been something Of a grudge in
the minds Of young students of history aud
geography against Vespucius, which has
been retained as they have grown to be
men.
However, Worlds Fair Commissioner
John Boyd Thatcher, Of New York, sug-
gests that the Florentine explorer and the
date upon which America was first called
by that name be COMMUNICATED by the for
NAL opening Of the worlds fair on May 8,
1898. 1t was on May 5, 1907, that the St.
Die book appeared, making that day
the real naming-dAy OF the
new world. The real date OF
the book was April IS, 1907, which, as
corrected by the GregorIan calendar, Is
equivalent to May 5. Under the worlds
fair ect of congress the date set for the
opening Of the fair is mot later than the
first day of May" so the proposed change,
would really make very little diff
ference. Maybe it would be just as we'll
to include Americus In the programme and
celebrate him; it will be long time before
the Americans have another opportunity OF
| doing so.

Money as q Disease Carrier.

The discovery that consumption, diph-
theria and certain other diseases are caused
by microbes has enabled our friends in need,
the physicians, to dispense consolation tn
the sick along with their pre- criptions. But
how much discomfort those same doctors
infiot upon the healthy with their microbe
theories They tell US that milk-the same
kind OF milk that our grandfathers as
babes, drank ard thrived upon-must be
stsrihzed to destroy the microbes; that the
wafer In the old oaken bucket must be
filtered and boiled before it is at to drink !;
that the air we breath contains millions Of
horrid little animals that may throw US into
fever il we are not very careful, aud even
that the nectar stolen from the lips of the
summer girl may contain the dreadful little
bacillus. The last suggestion is hard
hearted-"just like a DOCTOR" as the girls
will agree; but the doctor can prove that
what he says is so, il one dares to question
it.
There Is another thing the doctor says
about microbes that ought to make some
people shudder, but the chances are that it
won't He says that money-gold aud
va ~ 80 a. Pop0A ECNSAN
means OF carrying disease. In an article in
the New York Mail and Express of recent
date doctor, writing on the subject, refers
to the results of an analysis Of bank notes
by physicians who were looking for disease
microbes. "They found" says he, that
notes that bad been in use for some time
not only increased in weight from an
accumulation Of foreign material, but con-
talned, in addition, large numbers OF
microbes. In two notes they calculated
there we're 10, l47 microbes. Nine different
kinds we're found. Among others were
those Of diphtheris and consumption, two
of our most fatal and dreaded of diseases. u
After giving this bit OF startling in>
formation the writer remarks: 1.-THE
present bank note circulation in the United
States is about $1,000, O0O,O 900. or this,
$500, 900 consists of 81, 81 and IS bills
What a medium for the spread Of infection!"
or coin, this Jobs comforter of physician,
who breaches that money carries disease,
and most likely practices that 1t takes
money to cure disease, says: Frequently
children who are i'll with scarlet fever or
diphtheria or some other contagious dis
ease are given coins in order to please them
or as bride for taking medicine. Every
crevice in the milling is liable to foster con-
tagion."
The doctor, Of course, has a remedy to
suggest He would have the government
make fumigatinE station of every bank.
and have all money disinfected as fast as it
comes in over the counter after having been
In use.
Meanwhile, unfumigated money will pass
current, even with the doctors
