An Old Fashioned Woman.

Ono of the tough old gals" of Maine
came to mill toting plump bagful of
corn upon her shoulders. While the
miller was doing his work the woman
went down to the village grocery and
bought salt mackerel. AS the miller
was an obliging sort of man, she roast
ed her fish on the red Goals in his stove,
got mug of water from the pail, pro-
duced big, fiat biscuit from her pock-
ct and-well, she ate everything except
the fishbones and gazed at those regret
fully while she had pull at her T. D.
pipe. Do not some of you Maine dys-
peptics wish that You could have that
woman's appetite to go with your mon
ey? Yes, and her muscle, too, for she
lugged that sack of meal away to her
home two miles off about as easily as
some women carry their shopping bags.

ThaInttarx In Snnin.


The great prize in the Spanish Ma
tional lottery was won by butcher at
Saragossa who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50, 900 had he taken tho whole
risk himself. but he had split up his
ticket among a couple of hundred part
ners in varying proportions, 30 that his
own share is not so considerable. How
ever, he generously gave $40O to the
official who paid the money, and 5000
to blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at tho door of the Office,
his next care heing to distribute meat
gratis to every ybody living in his quar-
ter of the town. Not few stories are
told In the Spanish papers as to the eff
feet on different individuals of this sud
den bit Of luck. One Of the beneiiciaries
was nurse in the family of poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On the receipt of the
$40, 900 that fell to her share she at
once handed the amount over to her
master. oxclaiming. You shall not
know want after today. We can all of
us live on the money. Paris Herald.

Artesian Wells In South Dakota.

Mr.. Duncan McFarlane of South Da-
kota was talking of the great artesian
wells fed, it is supposed, by snow from
the Rockies, following the porous sand
stone at depth of from 800 to /, 500
feet below the surface of the grcund. and
told many interesting stories. He in
stanced one case of a towns having
bored for water, and after hard work
having secured well from which the
water would hardly rise to the surface.
One Sunday, though, the we'll broke
loose, and as the water flowed away un-
der the snow its course could be marked
by the steam rising into the air. The
water made its way to farm few
miles from town and there settled. The
owner came post haste to town, and
consulting lawyer was told that he
had first rate basis for damages.
The suit was instituted. The snow
disappeared, the water had been con-
trollcd finally by the town, and the
farm remained a great mudbank. The
farmer was almost in despair, but final
ly decided to put in crop anyhow.
Hot weather came. and the country suf-
Seyed for rain. That mudbank contain
ed sufficient deposit Of moisture, and
the crop was in fne condition. The
farmer made his way again to town.
Say, Jim," he remarked to his at
torney, "how Is that suit getting
along"
"Oh, 1t is coming along all right, 4"
was the reply, "but believe the court
will deduct the amount of the damages
from the price of your crop and award
the rest of your profits to the town. -

Japanese types.

There are two totally distinct types
in japan, which may almost be said to
be each others opposites. The first,
which the japanese themselves call the
Chinese, or Corean, is the more common.
Those belonging to it have round faces,
fiat noses, full cheeks, rather thick
lips-very pretty ones often-and very
good white teeth. Those belonging to
the second, or true japanese type, have
long and comparatively pale faces, noses
arched like the beak of bird, thin lips,
large eyes, with not very strongly
marked eyebrows; teeth mostly good,
always very white, but often long and
irregular. This is the aristocratic type,
which when at its best is really worthy
of admiration. To be called handsome
japanese must belong to it, while
those of the Chinese cast of countenance
are never more than pretty.
Strange to say, the moral character
of the sections of the community differs
as much as does their appearance.
have noticed that, as a general rule.
those with Chinese faces are gay, laugh
ing and restless, full of careless good
humor, while the others are silent, i'll
different, melancholy, sometimes even
dismal. .-Harper's Weekly.

Hard Timss and Economx.

1t Is u great mistake for people who
can at all affrrd to spend literally to
practice economy in hard times. On
one occasion during the second empire,
when there was u great financial de-
preston, Louis Napoleon commanded
his ministers to open their houses and
entertain profuseiy. and the court cir
cles, taking tho hint, began such a
round of gayety that trade revived,
while the manufacturers, plucking up
courage, opened their mills, and crisis
was averted. Spending ia as much a
duty with the rich AZ saving is with the
poor, and il takes both attributes to
make i,r'" porous community.

A we'll known merchant of this city,

nation to attempt to do everything. He
considers nothing well done that he
does not do himself. The other evening
one of the clocks at his home refused TO
keep time so he thought he would re-
pair it. He had repaired many clock
before and had not the least doubt of
his skill. He took all the wheels aud
pinions apart and cleaned them. This
occupied the entire evening, and when
he retired he dumped all tho cogwhecls
and parts of the clock into drawer in
his desk. The merchant is unfortunate,
ct least at this time, III possessing son
of mischievous disposition who happen
ad to come across the drawer full of
wheels. He knew what his father had
been doing and thought he would have
q little fun. He went to his room where
no had n wheel that had been taken
from another clock and placed this in
the drawer with the other "fixings. -
That night the father commenced his
work OF putting the separate parts to.

always had ono wheel left over. The
next night he tried the problem once
more. Again he failed. For two weeks

BELLS.

BeIlmaking - ono or the great IN
dustrics in this country, yet how sell
dom we hear of il. Foreign coun-
tries recognize that our bells are SUI
perior in tone 10 any other make,
and even the Japanese are sending
ordersto this country for bells. The
Japanese have long been regarded as
famous bellmakers, but they do not
hesitate to apply to American manu-.
facturers when they find 1T to their
advantage to do so. There Is grim
humor in the fact that the fire alarm
bells used in Tokyo were ordered Of
a manufacturing firm in Jersey City.
The largest bell in America Is in
the cathedral of Montreal, and it
weighsh2s, 600 pounds. The bell in
the public building at Philadelphia
will weigh between 90, 600 and 25, 900
pounds. There is bell at Erfurt
Germany, cast in 1479, and one in
Notre Dame, Paris, cast in 1850, each
Weighing 80, 600 pounds. The great
Chinese bell at Peking weighs 120,-
900 pounds, is IA feet high and IL feet
in diameter. By the way, the Chi
nese used to make their bells nearly
square in shape. The largest bell is,
of course, that in the Kremlin at
Moscow. 1t is over19 feet in height
and measures nearly 20 feet across

While bells chimed soft DER the tranquil bay.

Where the spoil Of the sea shone silver fair.

How softly the bells chmed over the bay
All. IL seems TO me but as yesterday
The brown boats clustered a-near the bar,
Like fairy fcet in the misty gold

A breeze sprang out Of low clouds fold,
Then slowly faded each soft bright hue,
And all grew colorless, cold and gray,
While wheeling scaward the curlew few
To his rocky home In the far away
And tho bells chimed Ger the tranquil bay
Oh, 1t seems to me but rs yesterday
Do homely fisherfolk linger yet
Till tho boats sail home TO the village strand
With their silvery loads, ere the sun shall set,
And the cleaning fall in my Cornish land2

And the grassy sweep Of the windy down,

American Artists who Are Rich.

Eastman Johnson, devoting him.
self exclusively TO portraits, has a
regular income of $50, 600 a year.
Mr.. Huntington, long the president
of the academy, has $50, 600, while q
number of men not exclusively por-
trait painters, such as Messrs. Chase,
Blashfield, Beckwith, Millet and II.
o. Walker, derive large portion OF
their incomes from that branch OF
their art. Again, there is group OF
men who do not attempt portrait,
and whose incomes rise 20 pretty
figure up in the thousands. In this
group stand Messrs. Inness, Clifford,
Tryon, Homer, j. G.. Brown, Low,
La Fargo, lavender, Blum, Poore,
Bolton Jones, Maynard, Horatio
Walker, Wiggins, Church and Others,
none of whose incomes will fall be-
low IS, 900 and several of which will
run above $40, 900.
In such a classification no account
is taken of our popular illustrators,
men like Remington, Reinhart, Frost,
Castaigne and Smedley, whose work
in black and white brings them hand
some returns. In addition there is a
large number of men not so well
known who receive considerable
sums annually from the book and
magazine publishers for their work
in black and white, which supple.
ments the incomes derived from
painting pictures. On the whole, it
would seem that our artists were a
more fortunate class than our litera-
ry men, for of the latter it is said
that less than 20 receive sufficient
incomes for their writings alone TO
support them, while it may be set
down as a positive fact that more
than 40 of the artists receive incomes
of$5, 600 and dover.-Art Interchange.

Queer Plan to Make Curls.

A curious recipe for making tho
hair curl naturally" is given in an
ancient household notebook and is
as follows: In tho carly spring,
when the sap of the wild grapevine
begins To flow, take bottle to the
woods and tie it under an incision
made in the vine, through which the
sap may drip, and.leave it there till
1t isfillcd The same subtle chemistry
which curls the tendrils of the vine
win act upon tho hair and twisGait
into softerrings than the ubiquitous
hot iron or any of the patent curriers'
of the day. The sap should be allow
ed to ferment all it will before it is
corked, When ready for use, itshould
be rubbed into the hair with soft
sponge. "-Philadelphia Times.

An Odd snnerstltion.

There IS q quaint superstition in
the minds Of, nearly all Union Pacific
employees in train, engine and yard
service in regard TO the significance
of watermarks in the paper on which
official letters are issued. The paper
is manufactured by firm which has
for their watermark crane. 1t is
the position of this bird in the letter
that the boys attach significance to.
IL it stands erect, the wording of the
letter hassno bearing on the status
of the holder He would be re-em-
ployed anywhere on the road, regard.
less of the fact that tho letter might
state that he had been discharged for
the rankest SINS that "a railroad man
had been guilty of. On the other
hand, if the bird happens to be up
side down, no matter how much the
head of the department may have
certified 10 the good character and
capability of the holder, the preva-
lent belief among the boys is that he
could not get job. So, when man
leaves the service and obtains Is
service letter" his first act is to
hold it up to the light to note the po.
sition of the bird If it stands erect,
he has 40 complaint to make. If in
verted, he roars.-Salt Lake Tribune.
