up business The clerks were kept busy in

When the sociable man entered the
car he beamed benignly on all the
occupants. He took seat beside a
man with a sandy mustuche and for
bidding look, and after glancing first ut
the straight standing collar OF the
stranger and then Mt his cuffs as they
protruded from the end OF his coat
sleeves, he observed cheerily;
"The celluloid trade OF this country
hns grown to enormous proportions"
"Sir"
~ said the amount of cclluloid turned
out in the United States hos got TO be
very large"

"You surprise me, sir. Why do you

That's odd. million and a half

"I am not searching for statistics,
sir" the forbidding stranger added
coldly.
Perhaps not, but it is always well to
store the mind with useful facts when
you can. Now if had not remembered
the figures of the celluloid output when
| saw it in the newspaper l wouldn't
have been able to impRrt it to you ]
suppose you didn't notice it in the
paper?"
No, and don't care to hear of it
now"
The process of the manufacture of
celluloid is very interesting one, l
think"
The strangers cuffs had been drawn
into his coat-sleeves.
"Celluloid is really n species of solidi-
fed collodion, if you know what that
is"
81 don't know what it is," snapped
the forbidding stranger, ''and I'll thank
you to address your remarks to some
one else"
10, the rest can all hear. AS l was
saying, celluloid is produced by dissolv-
ing gun cotton in camphor, with the as
sistance of heat and pressure.
"Will-you-shut-u

something of the process. The gun cot

THE WIFE OF A HERO.
Pathetic story of the Family of Brave
but Weak Man.

Pathetic story of the Family of Brave
bat Weak Man.
The newspapers contained the other
day accounts of the finding of the body
of man who was drowned while in
toxicated. The man had quite reputa-
tion for saving drowning people, and
had received several medals from the
Life Saving society. Shortly after the
body was recovered it was identified by
the wife. After the first outbreak of
grief she stood quietly looking into the
dead face. The police sergeant, who
was present, with evident desire to
comfort the woman, said:
Tom was as brave lad as ever
worked along the wharf; he had one
fault; and we're all human"
There was no answer; the quiet,
steady gaze never relaxed.
"Tom was hero. said the sergeant,
warmly.
What is that, sergeant?" asked the
woman. The sergeant explained. The
widow was quiet minute, and then re-
sponded "Well, then, Tom was a hero
because he wasn't afraid of the devil
himself. He was fine man, but the
trouble with him was that he would be
forever saving lives and not attending
to business. That was his curse and his
undoing. The 'neighbors would como
in and say, Bridget, it's mighty proud
you should be of your Tom to-day.
Have you seen the fine pieces they have
in the papers about him? He has saved
another life 1 would answer: It's
mighty poor food for the children them
same pieces in the paper, and Tom had
better be after steady work.
But you got medals, and many
whom he saved gave him handsome
presents" said the sergeant.
30, the medals didn't soak for
much, the woman answered. "and the
men who would have drowned but for
him did not pay up very handsome.
Tom said they only stood him in, on the
average, about So apiece. Sergeant, do
you think Tom could have gotten more
than So apiece for saving lives and never
said a word to me about lt?"
No, ! am sure he didn't. Tom was
as straight as string" replied the SER
geant.
linen tne woman picked up the shoes
and kissed the hobnailed soles and the
heavy heels and torrent of tears pat
tered down her freclSled cheeks: God
be praised, sergeant! God be praised"
she exclaimed. THE last of Tom s

"Rich as Cresus," said the first as
the middle-aged main went past.
"No?" exclaimed the second in sur
prise.

"He's worth several million, at the
least"
''Strange, isn't it?"

erous man, too"
THAT'S just what he is. He doesn't
know what it is to be small or mean. "
And he's really rich?"
"Indeed he is"
The second looked after the man
with evident interest.
Neither worn out by his chase after
riches, nor made cold, hard and grasp

kind I've ever seen. How in the world
did he get rich?"-Chicago Tribune.

THE CANDLE-FlSH.


A Wonderful Provision for Lighting tho
Homes of the Far North.
Of course where it is night people
must have some sort of light to see by.
Among us, lamps, gas and so on, are
used. But what do you suppose people
do where there is nothing of this kind?
Why, in some places they use one thing;
in others, another. In Alaska and other
far away lands to the north all they
have to do is to set a candle-fish on fire,
and they have good, clear light. which
will last more than an hour.
The candle.fish is about ten inches
long, and somewhat the shape of our
slender smelt. 1t is very fat, and just
the thing to make lamp of. The
natives fasten it in rude kind of
candle-stick, made of strips of white
oak, and set it on fire. They light it at
the head, and it burns stcadily away
down to the very tail.
OF all the queer ways to make lamp
to read or sew by, think this is the
queerest. Nature seems to provide al
most everything needed by the people
in the place where they live. The can
dle-flsh is so oily that it can not be pre-
served even in alcohol The nights at
the far north are very long and if it
were not for this fish the people would
be most of their time in entire darkness.

Channels of influenza.

In opposition to the theory that in
fluenza is disease not dependent upon
personal contact of individuals for it's
progression-that it is not evolved by
the intrinsical operations of specific
poison and propagated through and by
means of the ordinary channels of
human intercourse-atte is called
to the fact that during the late cpl
demic observers noted that the influ-
enza's course was independent of and
quite opposed to the prevailing winds
Thus it travelled slowly in Siberia and
Russia, but rapidly as soon as it reached
the network of railways in Central and
Western Europe; its course was changed
by the mountain ranges OF Scandinavia,
and it invaded Norway, not from
Sweden, but from Holland and England;
again, it.was detected by the Carpa-
thians turning it's course in the chan
nels of travel down the valley of the
Danube, and ultimately following, in
direction and time, the ocean routes to
Africa, India, Australia, and this coun-
try; in India, too, it has shown the
same peculiarities in following the rail-
way lines as have been observed in
America, IN. Y. Tribune.

An ostrich one day found bald head
lying on the grass, and, not noticing
that it belonged to a sleeping middle
aged gentleman who always sat next to
the orchestra in the theater, took it to
be an ostrich egg and determined to
hatch it out at once. The big bird was
sitting quietly on the supposed egg and
making plans for the education of the
little ostrich soon to be born, when, all

Men With Doubles.

Carruthers, Scotch editor looked so
much like Thackeray that upon one oc-
casion when Carruthers called upon
Thackeray the maid who met him at
the door laughed in his face because
she thought her master in fit of alb
sent-mindedness had come home and
asked for himself The likeness must
have been less remarkable, however,
than that between IL southern presby-
terian minister and the elder of a
neighboring flock. The two were con-
stantly mistaken for each other, and
finally one day when the elder was in
New York he excused himself from an
acquaintance upon the plea that he
must go and speak to his friend, the
minister, advanced toward large mir
ror, and was actually about to hold ont
his hand when he discovered that he
had mistaken his own reflection for his
flesh and blood double. Both parson
and elder have injured their reputation
for veracity by telling this unquestion-
ably true story. IN. Y. Sun.
