A Clever Trick,

A clever trick was played a short
time ago on board q steamboat ply
ing between Calais and Dover. The
sea was rough. A young woman
apparently i'll with seasickness
grOaned until a gentleman, wht
seemed to be stranger, approached
and asked if she would take 6
lozenge, which he had often tried or
people with marvellous results. The
young lady finally accepted the offer
The cure was instantaneous. Hardly
had she swallowed the lozenge
when she was sitting up all smiles
and ordering ham sandwiches and
bottled ale.
Some passengers, struck with the
incident, inquired what was the won
derful remedy, and the gentleman
who proclaimed himself the agent
for the sale of the lozenges, disposed
of a considerable number Of boxes al
two dollars each. What was the sur
prise of the buyers when they saw
the lady and her preserver go off arm
in arm when the boat reached Dover.
The pills were common jujube paste.

In Montana it costs man dollar

called on a magistrate for such a
paper. He stated his business and
asked the price.
Zone dollar" replied the squire.
'Has man got to pay dollar fer

PRETTY GIRLS PAY BEST.

Many employers find it a better
paying investment to hire pretty
women who are really Incompetent
in certain capacities than to pay for
more skilltul hands, yet who ar
PLAIN looking.
The girls needs not be bit firsa.
tious, but their pretty faces attract
custom that would drift elsewhere
if there were not some such strong
magnet to attract it in a certain di,
rection. Cashiers in drug stores
where a soda fountain is the princi-
pal avenue OF wealth are nearly al.
ways sweet-faced, as their. dainty
appearance makes man feel thirsty
for the sake of word or smile,
when a viSaged creature in the
same place would cause the throng
to flock elsewhere Tor their litations.
In those lines in which trade is
to be attracted a woman's looks are
registered as paramount even to her
ability. In one instance that has
come directly under our personal
knowledge a radiautly lovely cashier
knew so much about her business
that she announced the result of
adding twenty and thirty-Tve to-
gether as eighty, five, but she was
not discharged owing to her pretty
face, and maybe because the error
was in favor rather than against her
employer. Be that as it may, it is
no reflection on the girls because
they are chosen for their attractive
appearance.
They are simply pleasing bits Of
prettiness in spots unaccustomed to
the light of the co1ntenance femin-
inc. Therefore men flock thlther
to contemplate and to admire, and
would rather buy of such or pay
their checks in through little cage
that holds a little birding than to
be greeted by some coarse man or
unattractive female.
These pretty girls iq business
need not be fiirts. They need not
be the least bit giddy, but they can
please by their ensemble, a fact
which the employer realizes when
he sizes up the applicants for va
cant position and chooses the love-
Hest and best form among them.

Hand and Machine Made Paper.

Alderman writer tells how to know
if a paper is handmade. A roll or
strip of paper about an inch wide
should be placed gently in water so
that the upper surface is kept dry.
In machine made paper the two sides
will unroll in the direction of the
center, but in handmade paper the
sides will unfold in the form of a
plate. This indicates the fibers in the
handmade paper are equally dis
posed as to length and breadth, while
in machine made paper they are
chiefly extended in length.

The Debt of Greatness.

Greatness is thing which has to
be paid for, and the bill which has
to he paid is q bill which continually
needs repaying. The debtor can
never liquidate it once and once for
all; never, either living or dead. 1t
is hard to become eminent; it is
harder still to keep eminent when
you are eminent. A man who be-
comes great in any walk of life for
feits the birthright of every English
mamie ceases to be, free. 1t is
possible that he may become little
again; it is probable, indeed, that he
will.
Few men continue great their
whole lives long; but in spite of his
return to the ranks of the little years,
nay, centuries afterward, some one
will claim the right to make a meal
off him because he once was great.
Though he be an Egyptian mummy,
his account shall still be running
The man who, while the breath is
still in his body, becomes great is no
longer able to live his own life. He
becomes sport for the hounds. They
follow him not only to his death, but
long afterward-through the ages
Think of that, We failures, and give
thanks All the Year Round.

Fees of Great Crim,na, 1,awve-.

What does it cost to go to law? It
costs sums widely varying in size.
We make the rich pay for the poor.
Many ofour most celebrated criminal
suits are entirely for sweet charity's
sake, because the client is unable to
pay a cent. We take them because
we feel that we can acquit them and
score a victory where others have
failed. Where our clients are rich
we charge them large sums and
make them pay all in lump. The
lowest fee for divorce suit is 5000
where we charge anything at sall.
The highest we have ever received
for conducting such a suit is $32, 900;
the average'is about $500.
People who have once been our
clients have a great affection for us,
as indeed they do for any lawyer
who brings them out whole. And
SO a lawyers life, instead of being
filed with stories of ingratitude and
falsity, very often has many a chap
ter crowded into it of love and graft

nocent man or woman through an
evil accusation and for helping the
guilty to take advantage of every
means offered by the law of the

Treating Erysipelas.

In order to treat erysipelas prop.
erly it is essential that it should be
stopped in its spreading career, and
the best success in this way is OBJ
tanned in painting all around the af-
fected parts with collodion about five
or six inches in width. This method
is good when the erysipelas is on the
thigh or face, and it very rarely
spreads beyond the fence thus con.
structed. Improvements are gener.
ally noticeable within a few days.

The Only Place to Die In,

Hammerfesters who go abroad.
whether they do well or not, have a
craving for Hammerfest. 1 met a
captain of great line steamer, who
told me that in his opinion it wasthe
only place on the face of the earth
worth living in. His dream was
finally to settle down on the Dor
der of the lake, just above the
waterfall. He was born there, and
there he hoped to die. The Norwe-
gian mind is, he also said, slow and
sure, and finds it wearisome to be
with people who can skip from one
idea to another. 1t was like being
in the company of monkeys.-Cor

THE END OF WALTER RALEIGH.
lie Marched to the Block with No Fear
of Death the Headsman.

of Death or the Headsman.
Sir Walter Raleigh had been con-
demned in 1903 as the friend of Spain.
He was now to perish as its enemy.
But he had not committed any fresh
! treason. James, whose ingenuity in
contriving his own degradation leaves
him without a second, offered Raleigh
to King Philip that he might execute
him at Madrid The Castilian pre-
ferrcd fiat James should be his own
! headsnlan
The dying queen, Anne of Den
mark, interceded with Villiers for
Raleigh's life, but of course in vain.
On Oct. % he was taken, suffering
from ague. to Westminster, where
the Winchester convention, then fif-
teen years old, was rehearsed, and
execution demanded by the attorney
general, Yelvcrton. Montague, the
! Judge, speaking in terms of compass
sion and even of respect, granted it..
| Then, after some few words of dig
nified petition, Raleigh was led away
to the Gate house He was to die
next morning.
Into this short span he crowded a
world Of tenderness and heroism.
The verses which he wrote still
breathe lis undaunted courage To
the dean Of Westminster he gave
God thanks, he never feared death, ="
and his last farewell to Lady Raleigh
was a smiling word-'1t is well, dear
Bess, that thou mayest dispose of
that dead" meaning his body,
(which thou hadst not always the
disposing of when alive" Early in
the morning he received the sacra-
ment. Afterward "he was very
cheerful, ate his breakfast heartily
and took tobacco, and made no more
of his death than if 1t had been to
take a Journey" His imperturbable
good humor and present wit amazed
the beholders.
The day was bitter and fire was
lighted beside the scaffold round
about which lords and gentlemen
thronged to hear him speak He sat
down in view of the block, and pro-
ceeded with the utmost calmness to
defend or explain whatever in his
conduct might have bred suspicion,
sparing the king, but denying Stuke-
ley's calumnies. He was careful to
affirm that he had done no dishonor
to Essex at the last And then, beg

PubIic BuiIdings as Obieots nf Az


If our government could place the
designing of its buildings in the hands
OF architects who have proved their
ability to do justice to such great cp-
poftunities for professional distinc-
ton, the art of architecture would
not only receive the encouragement
which Is due to it from one of the
most enlightened nations of the
world, but our public monuments
would at last adequately express our
civilization. In England, in France,
in Germany, and indeed in all the
great European countries, the public
buildings are their highest and most
characteristic efforts in art. 1t is the
ambition of every architect to make
himself worthy to be employed upon
them. They constitute the great
prizes of the profession.
We cross the Atlantic to see the
cities which they have made beauti-
full. In our own country enough of
treasure has been appropriated for
national buildings and spent on them
to make our cities equally noble and
attractive. But under the present
system these opportunities have been
worse than lost, for they have en-
couraged an unnecessary extrava-
gance of expenditure without ade-
quate return, and they offer no higher
type to be accepted as the expression
of our civilization than respectable
conventionality and organized com
monplace. -Century.
