The Way to Save.

"The way to get rich is to save money
by regular SYSTEM said the president
of savings bank to the writer. "One
of our depositors early in the existence
of this institution was q newsboy. He
sold papers ON Pennsylvania avenue.
Every day he came in and deposited
twenty-five cents. He never missed a
day when the bank was open, and after
awhile he had accumulated over thou
sand dollars. He drew out the cash and
bought piece of land with it. Now he
is q we'll to do citizen.
"Tbe difficult thing with most people
is to make the first start in saving. Af-
ter one has got together few dollars in
a reserve fund an appetite for accumu-
lation is acquired. 1t becomes an object
in life to put something aside, which rep
resents an insurance against misfortune.
People in this country are not much
given to saving compared to Europeans
They usually live up to the last penny
of their incomes or just little beyond
This is certainly very unfortunate. In
case of loss of employment suffering for
the wage Garner and his family is apt to
follow. ."-Washington Star.

Prince of Detectives.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in ITO. He began
life as baker and early became the ter
ror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief, and
after many disgraceful adventures he en-
listed in the army. In 1896 he returned
to Paris with some money, which, how
ever, he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years. hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1903 he became connected with
the Paris police as detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts,
which purged Paris of the many danger
Gus classes. In 1918 he received a full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when he
settled at st. Mande as paper manu-
facturer. Soon after the revolution of
1880 he became political detective, but
with little success. In 1S48 he was again
employed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1857

The tests that have been made by a
street car company of Paris of a new
form of nailless horseshoes have been so
successful that the company has decided
to employ this shoe exclusively in the
future The new shoe is made of Bes-
semer steel, and in appearance is similar
to the ordinary iron shoe, except that it
has a bent lever that attaches itself half
way up the rear of the hoof without in
any way compressing it.
A clamp incloses the hoof, parting the
two heels of the shoe, and is supported
on the top of the lever, which wholly
sustains it, and thereby prevents COM
preston of any part of the hoof. The
shoe is also fitted with three small in
terror clamps. which penetrate the horn
of the hoof and prevent displacement of
the shoe without the preliminary raising
of the clamp. A number of private
firms in Paris have also tested the shoe
with success. 1t is considered by many
that this form of shoe will sooner or
later revolutionize the farrier's industry

Early American Sculptors.

1t is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one of
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until 1870,
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1791. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence of
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1906, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger.
Crawford and Mills followed in 1879,
1918 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win
ming for himself a European renown
which made him the equal of some of
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of "father of American
sculpture. ."-Lippincott's

Adams Stolen Rib.

In one of the many and varied COM
ments ON the creation of women in the
Talmud. the Emperor Hadrian is intro
duced as conversing with Rabbi CANA
liel on several religious questions. With
the object of casting ridicule on the
Bible, Hadrian exclaims: "Why, your
God is represented therein as a theft
He surprised Adam in his sleep and
robbed him of one of his ribs!'
The rabbits daughter, who was pres
ent, Graves permission to reply to the
emperor. This is granted her. "But
first let me implore thy imperial protec-
tion, puissant sirer' she exclaims. "A
grave outrage has been perpetrated on
our house" WHO has dared to inflict
any harm on the abode of friendY'
asked the sovereign
"Under cover of the night an auda-
cious thief broke into our house, took
silver fagon from our chest and left a
golden one in its stead" "What a well
come thiefr' cries Hadrian. Would
that such robbers might visit my palace
every day!" "And was not the Creator
even such thief as this" archly rejoins

Adam of a rib, and in lieu thereof gave
him loving, lovely bride?-Chief Rab-

Cinderella and Her slipper.

Yes, know you are saying to your
self, "That headline would have looked
and sounded better had it been 'Cinder-
ella and the Glass Slipper, but the
writer has been making a critical study
of this most interesting nursery story
and finds that the famous "glass" slip
per properly has no place in it. The
'glass" slipper isreally the "fur, ""cloth"
or ''felt" slipper, the word "glass" hav
ing been substituted through a strange
mistranslation of the story. In the orig
inal it was written pantoufie en- vair,
which, being translated, would be "the
fur slipper" The translator, however,
wrote it as if it had been pantouae en-
verre, making the "little cinder girls"
fur foot covering one of glass, which, it
must be admitted, would be one quite
appropriate to fairy.-St. Louis Re-

Novel Block Signal System.

The Weehawken tunnel of the West
Shore railway in New Jersey, which is
4,200 feet in length, has novel block
signal system. The arrangement con-
sists of line of incandescent electric
lamps about 300 feet apart and placed
on level with the eye of the engine
driver. When the lamps are all alight,
it is an indication of safety. Each train
passing through extinguishes the lamps
for distance of !, 100 feet in its rear,
result which is automatically effected
by an electrically connected track cir
cult, whereby the lamps are kept under
the continuous control of the train. The
operators in the signal towers at each
end of the tunnel can also extinguish the
lights in any section of the tunnel if oc-
casion requires. This system appears to
embody a number of exceedingly valu-
able features, and if successful in prac-
tice cannot but increase the traffic ca
pacity of long tunnel largely beyond
that which is possible by the methods of
signaling heretofore in use

East, West, Homes Best"

1t is pleasing weakness of human ma
ture to assume that every good thing be-
longs in peculiar to ones one country
or to ones own special part of it. A
Frenchman who had been spending a
considerable time in Germany exclaimed
Immediately after crossing the frontier
back into his own country:
"There are birds singing in the trees.
We are in France again!'
This story is matched by true one Of
a New England woman who spent two
years in Illinois, and returning to her
beloved home wrote as follows to
friend in the east:
SIT is so nice to be back in the east
and hear the locusts, katydids and brown
thrushes once more"

mer air musical in the part of the coun-
try which she had been visiting, but

CAUSE OF ToRNADoEs.
Result of the Meeting of Head Winds
From North and South

From North and South.
From the gulf of Mexico to the north
pole and from the lakes to the Rocky
mountains is vast extent of country
crossed by no mountain chains to inter-
cept or retard the velocity of air cur
rents.
The extent of this country is equaled
by none on earth. Cold air being heav-
Ter to the square inch than warm air,
the cold air, when coming in contact
with warm current from the south, al
ways predominates, forcing the warm
air into the upper currents.
The cause of cyclones is the meeting
of head wind from the north with a
head wind from the south. They meet
like two vast armies of men.
The pressure at the point of meeting is
so great that the air. by compression,
becomes heavier to the square inch than
wood or the human body, hence either
one will float in the same manner that
wood will float in water-it floats be-
cause it is lighter to the square inch
than water.
Place water in an ordinary wash bowl
and remove the plug, and it will be OBJ
served that in passing out the water
forms circular reaction. Air being
liquid does the same in passing either
upward or downward, hence the funnel
shaped spout of the cyclone center.
When two immense bodies of air COM
ing from opposite directions meet, the
only egress is upward and sideways, and
in passing upward it forms tho funnel
the same as water passing out of wash
bowl downward
The theory that cyclone forms
vacuum is absurd. Withdraw air from
glass jar with an air pump and feath-
er within the vacuum formed will drop
with the same velocity as lead, or, on the
other hand, you can compress air until it
is heavier to the square inch than wood,
in which case wood will float in the air.
The lifting power of cyclone is
caused first by the compression or
density of the air, and second by its ve-
locity. Combining the power of density
with that of velocity, which occurs at
the center or funnel, no power can re-
sist it. The feeling of suffocation or diff
Guilty in breathing when near the track
of a cyclone is caused from the compress
sion of ir.-Minneapolis Tribune.
