Mr. Chugwatcr Throws Little Light cIs
tho Subject.
"Josiah, inquired Mrs. Chugwater, as
she poured the coffee, what does it
mean when the papers talk about the
financial situation being strained and
the money market unsettled, and all
that sort of thing?'
st means that there is an uneasy
feeling about securities" answered
Mr.. Chugwater, reaching for another
biscuit.
"What does that mean?"
"Why, stocks and bonds, and-Mm-
speculative values generally
what makes them have an uneasy
feeling?"
cts the operators, you understand,
the financiers, that have that. When
there comes a stringency in the money
market"
I'm the money market? Do they sell
money!"
They sell securities, which is about
the same thing, only they fuctuate in
value. The condition of the stock and
bond market is an index of the finan-
cial situation generally"

better than / did before" said Mrs
Chugwater obviously. What is it
that makes money scarce? Does the
government quit making it?"
mo. It's simply withheld from in
vestment in ordinary speculative chan
nels. It's withdrawn from circulation
and boarded up. Can you understand
that?"
"Y-yes, l suppose so What does any
body draw it from circulation for,
Josiah?"
Its all a matter of public conf
dence," said Josiah, becoming slightly
impatient. "When everybody has con-
fidence in his fellow men there's no
stringency. It's this ridiculous habit
some people have" he went on, warm
ing with his subject, ''of getting scared

Somebody has little money in bank
He begins to be afraid the bank ism t
all right, and he goes down town to
| take it out. He tells some friend on
the way down what he's going to do,
and that friend tells somebody else,
and it spreads, and the first thing you
know there's a run on a perfectly sound
bank, and all because some gourdhead
kif&s lost confidence. And that reminds
me-" said Mr.. Chugwater, checking
himself hurriedly and looking at his
watch, "that I've got about six hun
drsd dollars in Old Gumbling's bank
that isn't any too safe. I'm going right
down town now, as quick as I can get
there, to draw every cent of it out"
And with nervous haste Mr.. Chup-

out through the front door, and half an

A Costly Blur.

A landed proprietor from the German
provinces was staying not long ago at
a hotel in Berlin. He got into con-
versaticn with the landlord one
evening, and they talked of the hard
ness of the times
''It seems to me-" said the visitor.
"that the Berlin people have got no
money left" taking from his pocket, as
he spoke, bulky purse, from which he
took couple of bank notes, twisted
them into a spill, and calmly lit his
cigar. Boniface and the other people
present stared at him in open-mouthed
amazement.
A few hours afterwards came the
time of the visitors departure. Once
more he took out his purse, this time in
order to pay his bill. He counted
through his notes, and suddenly turned
white. and then red. He found himself
still in possession of a score of flash
notes, which he kept for the purpose of
playing practical jokes; but he had lit
his cigar with the only two genuine
notes he had with him!-London Figaro.

THE CoNvIcT,s DREAM.

The moon looked in On his louely cell
The barren floor and the untouched fare,
And its holy veil on his wan face fell
And covered the pain and sin marks there,
And smile, the first for many day,
The first for many weary year,
Crept over his lips as he sleeping lay
And banished the look of haunted fear.
He dreamed that, boy again, he strayed
Afar In the glowing, dying wood;
Inc golden sunlight around him played
And the ripe nuts fell with pleasant thud
Again squirrel in fearsome fright
Sought shelter up in whispering tree,
And rabbit, wild in its eager fight,
y Dashed intothe bushes tremblingly
And again, grown weary OF wand'ring play,
he turns his steps to his welcome home.
2 Whcre face as sweet as sweet June day
Is smiling greeting to her son.
MY boyl My boy!' and the lips close meet
And she listens with earnest, lovelit eyes,
Wniie ne tells OF the days work, sad and
sweet,
And his wonderful hope that in future lies.
But the moonlight fades-and he awakes.
For moment q blaEk-and then sob
FROM the white drawn lips in anguish breaks
And tears his heart with mighty throb
His boyhood is past-the mother sleeps
Where his sob no answering love can wake,
And he thinks Of his life and weeps and weeps
Till It seems If the bursting heart must
break
God pity him there! And pity the men
Who languish behind the prison WALL
Wholook on the past through ths eyes OF sin,
And long for the love beyond recall
Let Thy love, like the moonlight sweet and
still,
steal over them-bia their anguish cease
ndspeak that word with holy thrill:
Behold, forgive thee Brother Peace!u

HONEY AS A FOOD.
Facts Concerning 1t Taken From a Chem
lists Laboratory.

racts concerning 1t Taken From a Chem
lists Laboratory.
Honey is usually considered health
full article of diet, and most delecta-
BILE morsel to roll under the tongue
But from the chemists standpoint,
honey is anything but deSectable NOR
sci. There is in reality no pure honey.
1t is not adulterated, in the usual mean
ing of the term, but it is full of other
denominations which render it unwhole-
some as an article of food.
In gathering honey, the bees gather
pollen from the flowers, and dust and
germs from the atmosphere collect on
their wings and bodies, SO that by the
time they are ready to go to the hive
to deposit their load of nectar, they
have quite an accumulation of
refuse to deposit with it. Chem
lists have found bits of broken legs
broken wings, and many queer things
in honey, and this is one way by which
to test genuine honey; adulterated hon
ey never contains such things. With
the nectar the bee also carries off the
essence of the flower itself-its peculiar
odor. This gives the honey it's flavor,
the same as the flower from which it
was gathered. Honey made from buck
wheat is always distinguished from
that made from clover. There are also
volatile. substances carried away with
the honey, and some of these, in fact
all of them, are more or less poisonous.
The honey of Trebizond, which poi
soned the Greek soldiers some two
Thousand years ago, is still poisonous
The bees here gather their honey from
poisonous flowers, and consequently
the honey is poisonous.
In the body of bee will be found a
little sac of poison, from the contents
OF which the bee injects drop into
every capsule of honey that he makes.
This substance is fol,nic acid, and is a
deadly poison This is the poison in
jected by the sting of bee, and per-
sons have been killed by single bee
sting. Honey always contains little
OF this poison, and that is why some
people are always made sick by eating
it. A young boy found the poison sack
one day, while dissecting bee, and ate
1t. He thought it was the bees honey
sac. But he soon found out differently.
The poison made him very sick. He
had frightful headache, his head was
giddy, his heart palpitated, and he was
in great distress for several hours. He
recovered, however, but honey has ever
since had the effect of making him sick
in the same way, if taken in anything
but small doses.-Good Health.

HOW SHE BROKE THE ICE.
Tho Breezy Wife OF Senator Astonishes
Washington Society.

Ihe Breezy Wife OF a Senator Astonishes
Washington Society.
The clumsy and untactful speeches
made in society are only too apparent
to the observer who will keep ears and
wits on the alert. An incident which
occurred at one of the cabinet recep-
tions shortly before the 4th of March
illustrates this tendency.
1t was at the residence of the secre-
tary of the navy, where Mrs Wilmerd-
ing stood with her customary dignity
to receive callers Suddenly into the
assemblage, like breath from the
prairies, sailed the wife of Senator
X, whose happy-go-lucky speeches
have furnished abundant source of
amusement throughout her residence
in Washington. With a sweeping
glance about the apartment she ex-
tended her hand to the hostest, saying,
in far-reaching voice:
'My Dear Mrs. Wilmerding, do you
know why you put me in mind Of a
cows tail?"
Then, without waiting for an answer,
she passed with a little laugh to the
tea-room, where her entrance happily
proved the signal for animated chatter.
Mystified by the conundrum propound-
ed to the hostess, one of her friends fol-
lowed the breezy visitor, saying;
What did you mean by your speech
to Mrs. Wilmerding does she re-
mind you of cows tail?''
"Mean by it? O., nothing at all"
airily responded the senator's wife; II
just thought | would break the ice."-

Contradictions.

The husband wasn't temperance
man exactly, and when he was less so,
to state the case emphatically, he was
disposed to be cranky in his ideas. His
wife's mother was inclined to be harsh
in her Judgment, as that relative of a
man or woman sometimes is. One day
after he had been discussing point
and had gone out, the old lady made a
few remarks.
You shouldn't talk So" apologized
his wife. Harry is full Of contradic-
tions."
The wife's mother gave sniff at the
atmosphere.

Drumming Up Trade.

Two enterprising~ young men set up
in the undertaking business in one of
the large towns of the gas belt. and as
there was some competition in that
particular business the young men pre-
pared cards, geographically neat, and
sent them out, announcing their new
enterprise, but singularly enough the
cards concluded: "We hope you will

to James undoubted affection for her
mistress, and the terrible distress OF
mind evinced by the girl ever since the
discovery of the crime. He urged that
she was the victim of hereditary inf1u-
ences, and in the eyes of all charitable
and right thinking people was an OBJ
ject of sincere compassion.
His speech produced decided effect
on the jury, who were touched by
James youth and piteous remorse.
A feeling in favor of the prisoner
pervaded the court.
The Judge, in summing up, said a
great deal was heard nowadays of
criminal insanity. Undoubtedly it was
most difficult and complicated ques-
ton. At some future period, perhaps,
humanity and civilization might pro-
nounce judgment upon the matter.
But at the present time the sole point
which the jury had to decide was this:
Did or did not Jane Gutteridge murder
her mistress, Eliza Lorton?
They could only go by facts. If the
jury entertained any doubt as to the
prisoner at. the bar having killed Miss
Lorton, then she was entitled to mercy;
but if they believed that Jane Gut
teridge had committed the crime with
which she was charged, they must re-
turn the verdict accordingly. Here a
relative of the deceased broke in irreg-
ularly and declared that even in cases
OF proved criminal insanity, such as
the present appeared to be, since all
motive was lacking, he held that it was
difficult to improve on the old Biblical

A Day at Niagara for Twenty Cents.

Niagara, "the crown jewel OF our
continent" centuries old, but ever new
in its infinite variety, is the one spot
that every American should see; and
every reader of Demorest's Family
Magazine for August may see Niagara
in ell its different aspects, at every sea-
son of the year, without the fatigue and
expense of the journey. Through the
charmingly written and superbly illu-
strated article "a Day at Niagara"
one may become familiar with every
point of interest in the vicinity OF the
Great Falls; while those who propose
stopping there on their way to or from
the Exposition, may learn how they
may see all the best advantage, and
with the least expenditure of time and
money. "Life at White Sulphur
Springs" is another "outing" article.
This is also an example ofstay-at-home
travel; for after reading the article and
seeing the many illustrations one feels
as familiar with the place as if it were
visited.
"The Diary of An Athletic Girl"
miss Canarsie's Crinoline," 1.-THE
Story Of the Millennium, and "The
Madness sofLaFarge" will be read with
pleasure by all lovers of good fiction;
"a Feast of Umbrellas describes a

Pleasures" furnishes some excellent
hints for entertaining; "Society Fads"
describes all the latest foibles OF the
butterflies of fashion; and all the depart
ments for which this Magazine is noted
are full to overfowing with GOOD things.
There is something in it of interest to

Alexander Hamilton's Thirteen Trees.

From The Philadelphia Ledger.]
1t is an odd fact that the thirteen
trees which Alexander Hamilton
planted near his country house, the
Grange, to symbolic the original states
of the union, and are still standing
near the old manor house on Covent
avenue, between One hundred and
Forty-second and One Hundred and
Forty-third streets, have kept pace
with the growth of the states which
they represent. For instance, New York
state is represented by the largest tree,
standing in the center of the group.
Close to it stands the next largest, re-
presenting the state of Pennsylvania.
Rhode Island is represented by the
smallest tree, which Isl mere baby by
the side of the others, and the crooked
tree is called South Carolina. It has
taken an abrupt turn and grown per-
ceptibly out of the grove, then it turned
again just as suddenly ard grew up
straight. South Carolina was the first
state to secede from the union. Since
peace has been restored, however, she
has been one of the most thrifty and
lourishing of the southern states. The
house is now used as Sunday-school
room. It was Hamilton's residence at
the time of his duel with Aaron Burr,
in Weehawken, in 1904.

Literary Note.

Tie midsummer Cosmopolitan, the
first at the new price of l2I cents per
copy, though unchanged in size, excels
any other issue of that magazine in the
number Of its distinguished contribu-
tors, in the interest Of its contents and
in its overfowing illustrations by IA
nous artists. Francois Coppee, Will
liam Dean Howells, Camille Flamma-
rion, Andrew Lang, Frank Dempster
Sherman, H. II. Boyesen, Charles De-
Kay, Thomas A. Janvier, Colonel Till
man, Agnes Repplier, and Gilbert Par
ker are few of the names which ap-
pear on its title page. Three frontis-
pieces, all by famous artists, furnish
az unusual feature, and among the ar
fists who contribute to the 1l9 illustra-
tions adorning its pages, are Laurens,
Reinhart, Fem, Teussaint, Stevens,
Saunier, Filter, Meaulle and Franzen.
The midsummer number is intended
to set the place for the magazine at its
new price at l21 cents copy, or sl.50 a
year. The magazine remains un-
changed in size and each issue will be
an advance upon its predecessors. Lit
orally, every known country is being
ransacked for material in the hope to
bring the Cosmopolitan forward as the
leading magazine in the world.

FOUR YEARS TO PRINT A BIBLE.
One just Issued In the Syriac Language at
the Bible House.
New York Herald

The new Syriah Bible was printed at
the Bible House during the past week.
The book has been in the printers
hands for four years.
Paul Behman ard David Ismael,
natives of Oroomiah, Persia, set the
type. Behman is an accomplished
typesetter and worked at his trade in
Persia. Ismael learned his trade from
Behman in this country and they av-
eraged page day. The Rev. Benja-
min Labaree, D. D., the translator,
supervised the work. Mr.. Labaree is
an American, but has spent many
years in Persia as a missionary. Joel
Abraham, a native scholar Of Oroo-
miah, assisted him.
This is the first whole Syrian Bible
issued by the American Bible Society.
A number of years ago they printed
the New Testament in the Syriac
language.
According to Caleb T. Rowe, the
general agent Of the society, the Bible
has now been issued in $50 languages
and dialects. No new translations are
at hand, so the Bible House printing
office is out of work.

Type-Casting Machine.

A keyboard similar to that of type
writer fronts the machine; there is a
key for each letter Of the alphabet.
The operator sits in front of the key
board. Let US suppose that he wishes
to set the word "new." He touches the
key n. The touch on the key releases
from magazine in the rear of the ma
chine mould, technically called ma
trix, made of brass, that slides down
into receiver near the keyboard.
Next the operator touches the key e.
A matrix for the letter is released,
and slides down alongside the letter n.
A matrix for W comes down and ranges
itself alongside e. Now, in the receiver
we have, Wharf.-The word new in type?
No, nothing of the kind. We have
three little brass moulds standing side
by side, from which, if We poured mol
ten metal into them, we would set the
word new in a solid cast. But there IS
no type. The machine knows nothing
of type whatever, though, for con-
venience sake. we are calling it type
casting machine. But the time has
not come to put molten metal into the
three little moulds or matrices" An
entire line should be set, not merely a
word. Suppose the line is to be, "new
things come to pass" The operator
proceeds to touch key after key for the
successive letters until the matrices for
the whole line are ranged side by side.
