KEEP
Yourself Warm.
IL MAY be Done For little Money
if You Manage it Properly.

Why BIO cold? Is it necessary to g
Ghivering about in this fine, bracing
winter weather. and all because you
haven't got thick enough clothes? Why
not go marching about your business
with rosy cheeks and bright eyes and
head held high and rejoice that you are
alive? No one need advance the absurd
plea of poverty in defense for being and
looking cold. 1t won't stand now. For
why? Simply because at Rosenbaum's

cheapest, collection of ladies', misses

A Town In Pawn.

II may not be generally known that
the little seaport town Of Wismar, in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position
as Montague Tigg's shirt-namely, at
the pawnbroker's. II was in 1905 That
Sweden pawned the town TO the duchy of
Northumberland sum ofmoney. It
was then stipulated that The town should
be restored to Sweden at the end of n
century, provided the sum lent, together
with interest, We're paid back 20 Aieck-
lenburg.
This sum is now said to amount to soy
eral hundred million marks. and appm-
emily there is little chance Of Wismar
being able 70 pay it at the date 6xed.
This singular treaty has lain dormant in
the archives Of tho municipality over
since it was made up 20 the otaer day,
when, apgopos of the concession Of some
land TO the custom authorities, it was
exhumed for legal purposes.-Ahllion.

The Nuisance Of Inartistio Advertising.

The Nuisance Of Inartistic Advertising.
We have occasionally regretted the
uonstrosities of street advertisements.
Every vacant wall or boarding which is
accessible TO the bill sticler blazes with
pictures which do not precisely educate
tho public taste. and are rather O serious
addition to the minor evils of life. Well
meant efforts have been made TO improve
tloso posters. The late Mr.. Frederick
Walker designed one for "The Woman
In White" 1t was tolerablyinoffonsive,
but far from an addition to the amenity
Of blank wall.
Mr.. Herkomcr, II we arenot mistaken,
he's tried his hand, and well known
picture Of q little boy blowing soap bub-
bles. by Sir John Nlillais, is sufficiently
familiar to the amateur But the worst
of it is that no such repeated airs, from
whatever hand, are agreeable, much less
the terrible man with the liver pad, com
pared with whom the lady with improb
ably long hair is a gem. This is not the
end. The fields on each side Of the rail
ways grow monstrous advertisements
an oifense to the eyes Of travellers, and
surely no real inducement to purchas'
tho wares Of the culprits.
a society has been formedto deal witt
these horrors, and the society protest
against "difidence and dependency.
This is plucky at least, and so far de
serves respect. 1t is a monstrous anon
ally to spend public money on the i'm
provement Of public taste, and then t
permit that taste to be debauched b

cnstinr Grent stntnes.

Stiglmayer, German goldsmith IN the
first part Of this century, having an am
bition to attempt larger works than any
he had accomplished, went to Naples in
order tosee the castingof Canova's statue
Of Charles III, but was denied the sight of
certain secret technical processes. Stigl-
mayer found them ont for himselfnever-
theless. and as soon as he went home
made his first experiment on a statuette
of Venus. Many delays occurred, and
the excitement increased as the end drew
near. By some mistake one Of his assist
ants poured his molten metal into the
airhole. Then the casting came to a
standstill
''The crowd Of lockers on, writes the
poor founder in his diary, "stood first
dump about me and then slipped out one
by one and left me with my pain"
In month a second casting was be-
gun and failed. With unbrolen courage
no begun tho third cast, and on Christ
mas eve the metal was again poured in.
1t ran into ihe mold and spurted joy
fully out at the air hole.
"Our joy knew no bounds" he de-
clares 1--WE raised a loud cry Of JOY
and embraced and kissed each other.
Pasquale, the helper, kissed the head OF
Phidias coming out Of the broken form
and burned his mouth, for it had not had

Celtio nIelancholy or Joy.

In the Irish dirges and laments there
is great similarity TO the music Of the
west highlands, only the Irish music
having been written in most instances
for the harp-which has all the notes Of
the voice--is a music of full and sweet
harmonies and has not the omissions
and deficiencies of the pentatonic scale
in which all music for the pipes was
written. While the melancholy of the
Celtic people finds adequate expression
in these laments-plaintive, wailing airs,
something between recitative and mel
ody-another and not less characteristic
side Of the Irish temperament is very
truthfully illustrated in their songs of
humor.
About these there is an inimitable raci-
ness, fresh and sparkling wit, a spon-
taneous ring Of chaff and fun, with a
dash of chivalrous sentiment and an airy
hghtness which gives TO them the unmis-
taxable Hibernian accent and to which
there is no exact counterpart in the
songs Of England or Scotland.-Londor
Saturday Review.

Baited For Catfish and Caught an Owl.

A man Of unquestioned veracity
vouches for the truth of this fish story:
His friend, who lives few miles in the
country, set line for catfish one day.
In the morning when he went after the
fish he found them in abundance. and
on one line he found a large owl that
must have been a terror TO birds and
fishes when alive. The line was wound
around the body and the neck of the
owl, and tho fish bore marks of the OWLS
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hook had caught it,
and in its efforts to fly away with the
fish it had been ensnared by the line,
after which the fish had its inning by
drowning the owl.
AT any rate the owl was dead, and the
fish, though disfgured, was still in the
swim and playing the line with a vigol
that caused the line to bob up and down
with the irregularity of the cotton mar
ket. The drowned owl is on exhibition
as a witness to the truth Of the story
and the fish, though the finest Of tn,
catch, escaped the frying pan, and now
has a steady job as an owl catcher Th'
fisher set him for Owls.-Naldosta Cor

Mistake. mistaken.

Tho use Of this word seems to be so
anomalous as to need some inquiry and
explanation.
I may DO mistaken, for 1 continually
mako mistakes. But when shown to
have been mistaken ! own myself in er-
ror. Yet, if am mistaken, is it not the
error Of him who mistakes me? But it
may bo that 1 am right and that he is
mistaken, though 1 suppose that ought
to take him Alright and not mistake him.
Nevertheless often have to say in ar
gument: "You were quite right. 1 was
mistaken"
In word, though he who mistakes
must be in error, our common use Of
language considers him who is mistaken
to be so.--Notes and Queries.

Preparation the Important raetor.


The discovery by Edison Of the carbon
with which heperfected his electric lamp
seems q happy accident, but such acci-
dents never happen to common men.
The great inventor scraped some SCOT
from the blackened chimney Of his lab
oratory lamp, and in spirit of curios-
ity tested its properties. 1t proved to be
the thing for which he was searching,
but behind this fortunate discovery was
q series Of exhausting and exhaustive ex-
periments with all kinds of likely mate
rials, absorbing the energies of many
months. The lucky hit rewarded the
persistent will of a patient workman.
So with the young and obscure lawyer
who conducts aud wins a difficult case,
as did Thomas Erslline in his elders i'll
ness, or the struggling surgeon who has
g sudden chance Of distinction offered to
him, he must have had a long and la
borious preparatory training before he
can. profit by such an emergency. In
short, a great opportunity is worth to a
man precisely what his antecedents have
enabled him to make Of it.-William
Mathews in Harper's Young People.

80 rhlngs Mlthout patents.

The floating dock and the typewriter
are among the many important inven-
tions that were hit upon by men who
have made no attempt to patent their
ideas. A photographer conceived the
idea of the floating dock before the de-
vice was perfected and put to practical
use, and a naval officer thought out a
practical typewriter, but was persuaded
by friends to abandon his invention as a
thing that nobody could be induced to
use.-New York Sun.

A BLuesIRp,s SONG.

To simple souls. ofttimcs In simplest ways.
Come sweet surprises that-we scarce know
why
Make glad with sudden brightness dreary
days
Or set a rainbow in q stormy sky.
A smile perhaps from some dear passerby
A word, unsought, Of sympathy or praise,
A waysido flower, a fowerliko butterfly
The veriest tr;ne has its spell to raise
Some dropping heart TO whom God bids 1t
speak.
And I-who heard but now all unaware
That bluebird's IS rapture thrilling on the air
know its meaning is not far 10 seek;
To me, faint hearted, fearful, onceagRin
The Father sends a message-not in vain.

custom formerly prevailed for the friends
Of a bride and bridegroom to join in
the presentation on their wedding day
Of an elaborate cheese. This cheese
was used as a family register, on which
the births, marriages and deaths were
recorded. Some of these old cheeses
date back to 166O Exchange.

took place in the white house in the
birth Of IL sister to Miss Ruth Clese-

the most graphic: From time to
time during the morning the presi.
dent was quietly advised rs to the
condition Of affairs in the sick room,
aud ut exactly l2o'clock DR.. Bryant
summoned him from the reception
room into the private hallway lead
ing to Mr.. Cleveland's bed chamber.
When the president hastily opened
the door he realized from the beam
ing countenance of DR.. Bryant that
the crisis had been safely passed.
Without a word, but with a SUSPECT
Gus moisture about the eyes, the
president and his family physician
warmly clasped hands. 'She is
safe?" inquired the president hur-
ricdly. The smile on the doctors
face and the reassuring pressure Of
the hand told him that his wife was
safe, and without pausing he added:
SIS tia boy or girl?" Something
Ikea shadow Of disappointment
swept across Mr.. Cieveland's face as
the physician told him that the
newborn babe was a girl. While
he was talking with DR.. Bryant lit
tie Ruth was brought into the hall
way by her nurse. I%nnocently, UNI
aware OF the trial which her father
and mother had just passed through
she was lisping laughingly in the
ear Of her nurse. When she espied
her father, with a shout of delight
she stretched forth herarms to him.
The president took her.lovingly i'll
his embrace, saying, with a note ol
trenulous endearment in his tone;
