Roofs In the Tropics,

In the interior of Ceylon the natives fin
ish walls and roofs with paste of slaked
lime, gluten and alum, which glazes and is
so durable that specimens three centuries
old are now to be seen. On the Malabar
coast the fiat bamboo roofs are covered
with mixture of COW dung straw and
clay. This is poor conductor of heat and
not only withstands the heavy rains to a
remarkable degree, but keeps the hut cool
In hot weather. In Sumatra the native
women braid Il coarse cloth of palm leaves
for the edge and top of the roof Sharks
skins form the roofs of fishermen in the
Andaman islands. The Malays of Malacca,
Sumatra and Java have roofing of attaps,
pieces of palm leaf wickerwork, about =
feet by 2 in size and an inch thick, which
are laid like shingles and are practically
waterproof. The Arabs Cf the East Indies
make a durable roofing of slaked lime,
blood and cement. Europeans sometimes
use old sails-made proof against water
mold and insects by paraffin and corrosive
sublimate-for temporary roofs. Waver>

Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter to
a client in ii neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course of
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case In writ
ing this epistle he made use of letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter he signed himself
thus: John Langdon, Address ut SUPRA"
After waiting several days for the re-
ply, which did not come, he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let
ter. The next day he received reply In
which the client said that he had an
swered the letter and addressed it to
John Lapgdon. Ut Supra, N. Y."-Buf-

Domesticity In a Railroad Train,

If you chance to be on certain car of the
Sixth avenue 81" about IL o'clock in the
day as it passes up from the Fourteenth
street station, you'll see pretty little girl
of some 7 summers with dinner pail Her
slender young figure presses against the
platform rail, and the big brown eyes anx
iously scan the various cars as they come
and go. The crowd get ON and get off and
push and jostle for place, but she pays no
attention to what is going ON so lively all
around her, and clinging tightly to the din
ner pail scrutinizes every car platform. All
at once her eyes twinkle, and her face lights
up and she springs upon the upper plat
form. The trainman takes her dinner pail
and slams the gate
Then he gives her light kiss, which is
received with a shy glance around the car
at the rest of the folks, and the pair sit
down in the nearest corner. The father, re-
lieved temporarily by one of his mates,
opens up on the contents of the dinner pail,
and the little girl makes mental inventory
Of the dresses of the grand ladies in whose
society she is unexpectedly thrown. Mean
while the slamming and banging and rush
ing and crowding and ringing of gong and
bell are going on, lending additional pretti-
ness to this picture of domestic life in the
metropolis York Herald.

How widow Made Use of what sh.
Heard Railroad Directors Say.
| A few years ago widow and her
daughter Were occupying section in
Pullman sleeper on tho Missouri Pacific
railroad. The section next to this lady
happened to be occupied by couple of
the directors of that railroad The par
tition between the two sections was so
thin that it was not difficult for a con-
versation carried on in one section to be
heard in the other. The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing plan
of consolidation whereby the stock of the
Missouri Pacific was bound to be greatly
enhanced in value.
1t was then worth but or 3 cents on
the dollar. She was on her return trip
to her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation of the two directors preyed on her
mind. She revolved it over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time a $4,000 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney, de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
to invest the $4,000 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney. installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed, but the
woman of wealth persisted.
at is but $1,000" she said, land if l
lose shall have just as much to eat as l
have always had and just as much to
wear. If the plans betrayed by these
two directors work out, / shall make
good deal of money buying Missouri Pa
cific."
The attorney obeyed the instructions
of his client. invested the Sc, 900, and in
less than a month the proposed CONSOLE
dalton was consummated, and the Hart
ford widow realized for her So, 900 invest
ment $3.50, 000 At the first blush this in
cident is set down as proof of luck.
1t was simply an unexpected exhibit
ton of what in Wall street vernacular is
termed nerve" on the part of quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person in 10000 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to,
and not one of thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money. as the widow
had it, would have dared invest it.
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes We're filled.
The evidence would be cumulative that
eyes and ears and brain make what
the thoughtless term luck. -Cincinnati

Chasing Whimsical Fashion.

Every change that arises gives labor and
a livelihood to many waiting hands. If
women are extrayagant in matters of dress
and men, too, for that matter-it directly
benefits other and poorer women. 1t also
benefits the weary manufacturer, who
spends his life chasing this fickle dame and
trying to arrive each season with her. IL
successful, he makes "a hit of the season"
and is encouraged to keep on at rate fast
er than any exposition fiier. If he fails, we
only wonder why he didn't know that
style would never CO." and his ony resource
is to try again, for this elusive Nine Fash
ion cannot always escape 1t is wearisome
work following fashions changes, but on
the other hand, such faithful followers of
ten are repaid royalty and reap many gold
en- dollars for their ideas thus carried out.

the spendthrift does it more good than the
miser, and in this spirit we accept the APP

Contempt of Court.

The following once took place in Will
liamsburg township, n. c. In Justices
court a prisoner was charged with the lar
ceny of bottle of beer from a barroom.
He objected to being tried before the jus
tice and asked that his case be heard by
some other j. p. The court. demanded his
grounds of objection, to which the prisoner
replied that he did not propose to be tried
for stealing beer from a barroom before a
magistrate who was in the habit of dead
beating for drinks around the barrooms Of
that township. To this the court with
great dignity and emphasis replied: you
accuse me Of doing that' Then you are a

The Usual Way.

Didst ever observe when pig in the fence
Sends forth its most pitiful shout
How all of his neighbors betake themselves
thence
To punish him ere he gets out?
And the hubhub they raise, so that others afar
May know his condition and hence
Come running to join them in adding a scar
To the pig that is fast in the fence.
Well, swine are not all of the creatures that be
Who find themselves sticking between
The rails of tlle fence, and who try to get free
While the world is still showing them in;
Who find that the favor they meet with de-
ponds
Not on words, but on dollars and cents,
And that tits but few vino will prove them
selves friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.

Grandma's Song.

In the corner, softly rocking,
With her knitting, grandma sat;
At her feet before the fender
Purred the household tabby cat;
Soft and CHEEKY glowed the freight,
Rejecting on the polished tongs,
As grandma piled her needles nimbly,
And Crooned this tenderest of songs:
"Ye banks and braes o. bonny Doom,
How can we bloom sac fresh and fair2
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And sac weary, flu o. carer"
There beside her on a hassock
Sat her darling golden head,
Little Mabel, with her dolly,
Nearly ready for her bed.
Through the thoughts of that wee maiden
Rang the notes of that dfd tune,
And between her childish fancies
Swept its dreamy, tender rune:
I'VE banks and braes o. bonny Doom,
How can We bloom sac fresh and fair2
How can ye chant, ye little birds.
And sac weary, flu o. carer"
To grandma's lap climbed little Mabel,
Lst'ning to her grandma's song,
And the freight danced upon them
AS they sat its rays among.
And by and by the golden tresses
Lay damp and soft on grandma's dress,
While the eyelids softly dropping
In slumber sweet did lightly press:
'Ye banks and braes o. bonny Doom,
How can yc bloom sac fresh and fair7
How can ye chant, we little birds,
And sac weary, flu o. carer"
Still crooned the gentle, loving grandma
While slower, slower moved her chair,
And lower bent the head of silver,
Till gold aud silver mingled there
And fell upon the snowy muslin
