A FireprOOf Straw.

The Moscow Agricultural Society has
been making some interesting tests of
a tireproofng compound, the invention
of a Russian genius, and with the most
gratifying results. At the public trials
made shanty was built entirely of
straw, and, after being covered with
the paste, was subjected to hot fire,
the straw, under this operation, merely
changing from yellow to reddish
brown color, without igniting or even
cracking. The society in question has,
it is stated. decided to introduce this
new invention or process throughout
the empire, considering that it must
prove of the highest value in villages
where the houses are matched with
straw The cost of this preparation,
as well as of applying it, is said to be
very slight. The value of this inven-
ton can hardly be overstated. If it
will afford even partial protection to
wood and the other combustible mate
rails necessarily used in architecture it
will be the means of saving millions Of
dollars that annually go up in smoke.

Indian Tribal Shoes.

A writer in the Galveston (Texas)
News quotes an authority on Indian
customs as follows in respect TO moe
casins: "Moccasins are different with
every tribe. 1t is the last thing an
Indian gives up as he travels toward
civilization, and the first thing adopted
by the whites. The Crows make their
moccasins of one piece, severed at the
heel. The Bannocks and Snakes and
Shoshones the same, except that they,
like the Apaches, have anklets to pro-
tect them against the cabots. The
Blackfeet make them with anklet and
long tongue. Anklets, frequently of
colored cloth, horse haired and beaded,
three prongs from the apex, run fan
shaped to the toes, marking this tribe,
and each prong represents band
Blackfeet, Bloods and Piegans. The
Gros Ventres and the Assinni-
BONES, very similar, usually rawhide
sole is sewed on. The Comanche is
composed from q sole rawhide cut as
near the shape of the bottom of the
foot as possible. tapering gradually
from its greatest width at the little toe
to point at the large toe, ringed
with buckskin string and tipped with
horns of German silver, cut low at the
sides, with rundown flaps sewed to
the sole with sinew."

The Rich Sixty Years Ago and Now.

Are the rich, as a class, growing
richer, and are the not rich, as class,
growing poorer We deny 1t, and we
affirm, and appeal to the assessment
lists everywhere in support of the affir.
nation, that there are more fore
handed men to-day, according to the
population, than there have been since
the Government was founded. There
are few, a very few, men who count
their wealth by millions, but it ii
doubtful if, with the exception of per
haps half hundred persons, the rich
men of to-day are any richer than the
same percentage of the total were sixty
years ago. When it WAS said that Johr
Jacob Aston WAS worth million peo'
pie stood in awe, exactly as they dc
now when the seventy millions of Jay
Gould's estate are mentioned. -Phila

Friction After the Bath.

Friction after the bath is not only q
protection against catching cold, but it
increases the strength and improves the
health. 1t is also positive and whole
some beautitier. Every woman can't
afford massage, and an alcohol sponge
bath is luxury beyond the means Of
the average. If, after drying, the body
is rubbed with q wooden or flannel
mitten saturated with aromatic vinegar
the effect will be almost as good.
Brushes are cheap. If the long-curved
flesh brush with the short handle Is
wanting, five-cent brush, such as good
housewives buy to clean vegetables
with, will answer every purpose. The
bristles in these goods are stiff and 30
irritating to the skin that q single
stroke will bring the blood to the sur
face. This is the very thing wanted,
and if applied after the first drying
the body will be in a glow with the
blood pulsing through the veins.
There is always an appetite for break
fast after rubbing of this sort-New

Eccentricity Easily PardOned.

One of the old residents of Mount
Vernon was Theodore Marston, who
moved into the place before it was &
town and settled on the south tier o..
lots next to Readfeld, where he made
himself good farm. He was eccen
trio, but man of the strictest honesty
and remarkably generous to the poor.
When he sold poor man n bushel OF
corn he never struck the measure, and
if asked why, he would put his hand
on his heart and say: Something il
here will tell when it is full enough,
and it was never "full enough" til
we'll rounded. In 1916, which is known
rs the cold season, he kept his granary
open for those who had no cash and
would say to those who had: "You car
get it somewhere else, l keep it only
for those who cant pay. "-LewistoI

MORE THAN HIS MATCH.

II was on the deck of Il London
bound steamer and several passengers
were leaning against the railing talking
about shooting.
One young man remarked that ne
had once killed two wild ducks on the
wing with one shot. 81 suppose it was
an accident" he said, "but I'll admit
that l take a good deal of credit to my
self for being clever shot.
That's nothin'," remarked a tall
six-footer, as he thrust his hands into
his pockets and lazily shifted his posi-

when the word WAS given fired. l sup

added, narrowly cycling the last
speaker, but, gentlemen, we was both

The other members of the group
looked at the tall man silently for a
moment or two. Then one by one
they stole back into the cabin, and the
crack sportsman WAS left to gaze at the

Light and Darkness.

A New York electrical journal some
time ago told of an incident that oc-
Cured in the fitting up of new office
building near the New York end of the
Brooklyn Bridge. The engineer of
the building wished to wire the offices
throughout for the electric light in
addition to the gas pipes on which the
conservative proprietor insisted. But
all his arguments were in vain, and the
apparently useless extravaganza of
electric wiring was obstinately vetoed.
Suddenly, however, q happy thought
struck the venerable owner. "Why,"
he said, eff the wires carry electricity,
can't you make them carry gas, toop"
A counterpart of this story is now told
of shipyard carpenter, a native Of
Troon, on the coast of Ayrshire, Scot
land. When the contract for lighting
the first three steamers fitted with
electric light at the Troon shipyard
was completed this man formed one of
social party gathered to treat the
electricians who had made the installa.
ton and otherwise celebrate the event.
In burst of candor and comrade-
ship, he was overheard saying to one
