A Blind Man,s nnn-

A blind man, piloted about the cen
ter of the city yesterday by a dog, at
| tracted a good deal of attention. The
man was neatly dressed, and carried
a satchel containing articles to sell
swung over his shoulder He carried
a stick in order to enable him to feel
his way up or down step. The dog,
a plump, well fed, brown animal, had
on a sort of harness, to which stout
cord was attached from his back. He
was apparently in a hurry to do
business, for he tugged at the cord
vigorously as he went along, Every
few steps be would look around at
his master in. the most intelligent
way, as if to discover whether he
was coming along safely.
AS soon as he got to a door he
stopped and looked up at his master.
If the door was one on which was
posted the sign, '"The other door, :"
the man would try the knob, and as
soon as the dog saw that his master
could not go in he would immediate
ly move on to the next door. When
a door was opened the dog appeared
to understand exactly how to trans
act business. He would pilot his
master straight to the office, in the
back OF front part of the house, stop
and look up,
When anybody bought anything
and Good day" was said, the ami
NAL would lead the way out again,
often looking around at his compan-
ion, and when the steeet was
reached he would be sure to start ex-
actly where he left off and try the
next door. If the animal was not
fond of that man, the looks and &C
lions of dog go for nothing -Balti-

A Novel Instrument of Death.

According to tradition, ZENITH, the
legendary king of Scotland was al
lured to his death in most novel
manner. ZENITH had slain a son
and brother of Fennella, who to be
avenged ordered Wiltus, a famous
silversmith, to construct q death
dealing statue of silver.
In its right hand the statue held a
basin and in the left hand an apple of
pure gold, both set with diamonds
and other precious stones.
To touch the apple was to defy
death, it being so arranged that any
one guilty of such vandalism would
be Immediately riddled by poisoned
arrows shot from openings in the
body of the statue.
ZENITH was invited to inspect the
wonder, and, as Fennella had hoped.
he tried to pluck the precious imita-
Sion fruit. When his hand touched
the apple he was wounded by the ar
rows and died where he fell. Jew

How Nature Grows a Tree.

Nature invariably does two things
when she tries to grow tree-she
protects the bark from hottest sun
shine and the roots from severe
changes of temperature. Both these
points are almost invariably over
looked by man. Observe a maple OF
elm or birch as it shoots from the
ground. It's sides are clothed all the
way with small twigs, unless re
moved by knife or browsing. ANY
tree, starting in an open lot, is thus
protected from the sun. Otherwise
the extreme heat will rupture cells,
and the bark will dry and split. AS
far as possible there must be equal
development of cells on all sides of
the tree. But care of the roots is
even more important.
The feeding of a tree is at UNEQUAL
depths, but most of it is near the sur
face. If the sun be allowed to strike
directly on the soil, the finer rootlets
that do the foraging are DESTROYED.
and extreme droughts will affect the
roots for foot in depth. What is
worse, the extreme changes of TEN
perature also affect the tree and suck
its life away. In some cases such
conditions are produced as encourage
the development of fungi or other
enemies to plant life. Nature guards
against this by laying down each au
tumn layer of leaves, to emulch hel
forests or solitary pets.-St. Loui.

The Miser's Heir.

AS like affects like, so it is with
misers, and gold will go where gold
is. This is strikingly illustrated by
the act of a celebrated Greek, one
Dicheus Dich9nus, descendant of
the Bizantine emperors. This man,
by the exercise of extreme niggardli-
ness, managed to amass the sum of
&1O, O00-an immense fortune in those
days. Then came the question, to
whom should he leave itQ One dav
a distant relative sent him a letter
written upon a square inch of paper
This was sufficient. In the fitness of
things the parsimonious correspond
ent became the miser's heir.-Cas-

HOW BAGGAGE is HANDLED.
The System Employed on One Railroad
in New EnrInnd.


The System Employed on One Railroad
in New England.
The summer tourist business of
Maine, as we are able to measure it
by our baggage, has increased from
- to Is per cent. a year for the last
four or five years, said General Bag
gage Agent Towle, of the Maine Cen
trail, the other day.
The amount of baggage carried is
very good measure of the number
of persons travelling. On an average
two persons go with every piece of
checked baggage, but the number of
pieces of baggage cannot be depended
on as an exact indication of the
absolute number of persons travel
ing, since the system of returns
adopted by the railroad gives on
some routes two reports for each
piece. But for the increases of
volume of travel from year to year,
the baggage returns are very good
measure. The months for the tourist
travel are July, August and Septem
ber."
Mr.. Towle's system of handling the
baggage of the Maine Central system
is simple and effective. Every train
baggage master and every station
agent makes daily report of every
piece of baggage that he has handled,
describing lis nature, whether trunk
CT ..,e. tho number and kind of the
chcc.. -. cd upon it, the place
whence |. starts and its destination
The rctu.n forms are uniform in ev-
erything but color. Those for the
main line are white, except for that
portion east Of Bangor and on the
mountain division, which are buff.
For the branches blue forms are
used. In large case, with a pigeon
hole for every station, are filed the
station agents daily returns; the
train returns are separately filed.
If passenger loses a piece of bag
gage Mr.. Towle's office is informed,
the number of check and name of
station whence it started being given.
The clerk steps to the case, takes the
return of the station from its pigeon
hole, finds the baggage reported and
complete description of it, and the
train on which it was put He then
turns to the train report and finds
what was done with it and the sta
= ton where it was put off. The re-
turns of the second station will show
Its receipt In less than five min
utes the piece of baggage is located
if it has simply gone astray. OF
course if it has been stolen there
must be further search.
AS an evidence of the thorough
ness of the system it may be men
toned that for all the great amount
of baggage handled in four months
by the Maine Central there was but
one piece for which it is responsible
that it has not been able to account
for successfully. - Portland (Me)

The Jewel Pointed Tools of Egypt.


A years study at Gizeh has con-
WINGED Mr.. Finders Petrie that the
Egyptian stoneworkers of 4, 900 years
ago had a surprising acquaintance
with what had been considered mod
ern tools. Among the many tools
used by the pyramid builders were
both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills, like those of today, were set
with jewels probably corundum, as
the diamond was very rare), and
even lathe tools had such cutting
edges. av
So remarkable was the quality of
the tubular drills and the skill of the
workmen that the cutting marks in
hard granite give no indication of
wear Of the tool, while cut of a
tenth of an inch was made in the
hardest rock at each revolution, and
hole through both the hardest and
softest material was bored perfectly
smooth and uniform throughout. OF
the material and method of making
the tools nothing is known. Shilling

The INDIVIDUALITY OF THE HAIRPIN.
Every Woman Knows Her Own, just as

Every Woman Knows Her Own, just as
She Knows Her Own Baby.
Five hundred millions of hairpins
That is what the women of this
land do annually buy, beg or borrow.
Now a halrpin never wears out. It
sometimes becomes pale and bent
with age, but its avoirdupois is.all
there. What therefore becomes of
these successive millions?
During the past ten years :. 0oo.-
100000 of hai1pins have been made
and sold. AT present there are only
about 100000, 900 in circulation.
Now where-where are the other

tulness but most women are as shv
OF adopting strange hairpins as they
are of accepting an unidentified
toothbrush. The hairpins therefore
go to make up the fotsam and let,
sam thrown out by the tide of hu,
mainly and dumped into the waste
places of the suburbs to form new
town lots.
And, speaking of hairpins becom
ing pale with age, why is it that
when a package of new ones can be
bought for few cents most women
cling to their old ones until every
vestige of color has gone, and he
who runs may easily count theil

And, again, can any one explain
how it is that every woman knows
her own hairpins just as she. knows
her own baby, no matter how nu.
merous and similar it's companions
And, furthermore, all women have
at least one pet hairpin. 1t is re,
garded with religious care from
year to year. Il is the keystone in
the construction Of her couture
Other generations of hairpins come
and go, but that particular one is
looked after too zealously to be lost.
Generosity, friendship, filial devo-
tion-nothing is strong enough to
induce a woman to part with her
treasure. She will laugh and offer
you her entire stock, but will reserve
her pet. Every boarding school girl
can tell how she has rescued her par
tlcular hairpin JOY from the bureau
nay, from the very locks of some
friend who had distracted it.
There are a great many points of
resemblance between a hairpin and
man. A hairpin, for instance, is a
sort % biped. So is man-some-
times very bad sort. Some hair
pins are straight, some crooked-a
resemblance to men which need not
be pointed out Extreme sharpness
and extreme bluntness are equally as
dlsagreeable in hairpins as in mascu-
line manners. Both are very unre-
hable-not likely to stay where they
are put. And last, but by no means
least, both are made for women. It
IS the reason for their existence. and
