ATcHIsoN PHILOSOPHY.

It takes n long winded man to saw
wood and talk at the same time.
Every man thinks he has a right TO
read the letters his wife receives.
Fine clothes do not make a fine man,
but they are a big help to an actor.
When you lose the power TO enjoy
yourself, people no longer like you.
Some people are too good to gossip
with you because they don't trust you.
When man accepts charity, some
one is sure to say that he is not deserv-
ing.
It is not more than once in a lifetime
that any one is met who has a new idea
Of being funny.
1t has been our experience that women
will forgive swearing and drinking whis-
Ky quicker than chewing tobacco. -Atch-
ison Globe.

what Bail Bearings DO.

Inventive genius has not stopped with
the pneumatic tire on the sullsy and BIZ
cycle, but has been busy with the worl,
of perfecting ball bearings with such
success that a few days since a street
car, which was equipped with the latest
invention in ball bearings that would do
away almost entirely with friction, was
drawn distance of several hundred
feet by single man tugging gently at
three strands of ordinary sewing thread
attached to the car.
Perhaps a more interesting experiment
was that of carriage manufacturer.
who put another style of ball bearings
upon the wheels of a large coach, to
which four horses were ordinarily hitch
ed. Then he took trained dog and har-
messed and hitched him to the pole, when
the dog drew the huge coach easily
around the yard. This sounds like fan
cy, but it is fact-Kate Fields Wash

French Canadian whims.

French Canadians insist that if you
want to break a fit of hiccoughing all
you need to do is to grip the sufferers
wrists with both hands and look him
souarely and fxedly in the eyes. For
chilled feet that are too cold to be toast
ed before a fire they recommend the vic
tim to simply kneel upon chair-a hard
bottomed chair-for few minutes. To
warm ones self all over after a chilling
ride in winter they say the best thing is
to sit down, double both fists and hammer
your knees vigorously for five minutes.
They believe in these little tricks as
heartily as any other people believe in
medicine Star.

Fires In Lanndries.

An investigation by DR.. Richter of
Hamburg shows that most of the fires
that occur in laundries where benzine is
used to wash clothes are due to electric
sparks caused by friction of the benzine
and the clothing as the latter is with
drawn from the bath. "In Hamburg
alone 10 out of 21 fires were due to this
cause. Experiments showed that woolen
materials become positively electrified
and the benzine negatively, and that the
difference of electrical tension causes a
discharge strong enough to give painful
shock, producing sparks two inches long
in some instances and lighting up the
room in which the experiments were
made. 1t is suggested that such fires
may be prevented by charging the air in
the room with steam. "-Philadelph
Ledger.

The Dover Chest.

In Holland the dover chest once formed
a part of every brides equipment. Less
portable, but more slightly than the Sara
toga trunk, it fulfilled its purpose with
grace and dignity, passing down as an
heirloom from generation to generation.
The modern chest is an easy thing to Sc
cure, but these the up to date girl holds
in disdain. Her chest must be really an
tioue, of carved oak of English or Flem-
ish make, or elaborately inlaid with mar
quetry of colored woods and dated or
initiated with figures and characters elo-
quent of other times and manners. There
are very few of the genuine old fashioned
dover chests to be seen on this side of
the Atlantic. One of them in this city is
very massive affair, weighing several
hundred pounds. Commercial.

DUSE AND MENzEL.
The Actress Hero Worship Moved the Old
Painter to a Historical Kiss.

The Actress Hero Worship Moved the Old
Painter to a Historical Kiss.
After finishing her season in London
recently Eleonora Duse filled an engage
ment in Frankfort. In passing the larg-
est art store in the city one afternoon
tle noticed in the window picture by
DR.. Adolf Menzel, the greatest of Ger
manys historical painters. She went in
side and bought it, saw other pictures
by Menzel and bought them, carrying
them all away with her in her carriage.
A few minutes after her departure
Menzel himself stopped at the store. He
is almost 80 years old and for the last
generation has been receiving all the
honor and admiration that could touch
the artists heart Nevertheless he show
ed much satisfaction when told of Duses
fancy for his works and mumbled some
words to the effect that the Italian ac-
tress was really genius in her way-a
great concession to her sex from him,
for Menzel is a knotty old fellow, with
all the woman hating sentiments of
confirmed bachelor. He bought a pic
ture of Duse, placed it carefully in his
coattail pocket and departed.
The proprietor of the art store told one
of Menzels friends what had happened,
and the friend at once invited Duse and
Menzel to his house to meet each other
at dinner. Each came overhowing with
admiration for the other. Menzel knows
no Italian, and Duse knows no German.
So the conversation was limited to
shrugs of the shoulders, wavings of the
hand and mutually unintelligible ex-
carnations. When the time for parting
came, Duse threw off the reserve of
which Americans heard so much during
her American tour, seized the old mans
hand and tried to raise it to her lips.
Menzel struggled to escape the honor,
and finally bowling his head kissed Duse's
hand. Then he fed.
German newspapers say that the kiss
was an event in the history of art; that
it was the only kiss Menzel has ever
been known to bestow. His new gal
lantry has been greater revelation to
his friends than was Duse's hero wor-
ship to her neglected dmirers.-Frank-
fort Letter.

A touching story is told of a young
bride in New York who hesitated to go
on with the ceremony because she did
not wish to VOW obedience to her hus-
band. The girl was very young and very
foolish, or she would have known that
no woman nowadays considers the obe-
dience clause in the ceremony as any
thing more than an idle and imperative
form. 1t was only when two or three
married women placed the matter before
her in the proper light that she consent

Wildcats and Briers.

have noticed in the stores of the fur
dealers in San Antonio that all the hides
of wildcats, especially the legs, are liter
ally filled with cactus briers. Most ami
mails avoid the cactus, while the wildcat
seems to hide in it. Whether the cats
are too stubborn to ever learn that cac-
fuses have thorns, or whether they do not
experience painto the extent that other
animals suffer, would be question for
anatomists or Psychologists to answer.
The fact is that the insides of the legs of a

briers as is the outside with hair.-Texas

Snnwstnrms In Berlin.

The municipal authorities of Berlin
observe the following method of prevent
ing obstruction to traffic and inconven-
ience to wayfarers through winter snow
storms: IF snow falls in the night, the
residents find the streets all swept and
clean by daylight, and the only traces of
the storm are the miniature Alps that
dot the road on each side. Many hun
dreds of laborers, largely taken from the
ranks of the unemployed, work all night
in such an emergency, and the result is
that the heaviest fall of snow does not
seriously incommode traffic. The re-
moval of one winters snow often costs
