The Way to Carry Money.

A man is safe from pickpockets if
he carries his money in his trousers
pocket, says an experienced detect
i've. A hip pocket is simply delu-
sion. The man who carries his money
there is fool. The breast pocket is
no safer when the coat is buttoned,
because the man who is after the
money located there has only to slit
the cloth with sharp little knife
blade set in ring. Carry your
money in your right trousers pocket,
and you will ever have it picked.
AS for jewelry, when in a crowd
twist your watch chain around your
left thumb or index finger and dom t
let go, no matter what happens
You are lucky if you wear diamond
pin for year, no matter what safety
attachments it has. Some chap will
even cut off portion of your neck
tie to get it. Beware of rushes-peo
pie quietly knocking against you,
etc. If a man falls against you, ell
bow him off or step aside. In crowd
let them knock your hat off or smash
1T over your eyes, but don't throw
up your hands.

Mexican Women.

The Mexican women are smaller
than an average American woman
and are usually very pretty. Their
eyes are their distinguishing feature,
They are extremely expressive. 1t
is understood here that they can talk
with them. By an almost imperccp-
tible alteration of the muscles above
and below their orbs of vision tho
expression of their faces undergoes n
complete change. Their features arc
small and regular, their skin Opaque,
SO that a rush of blood to the face
does not change the complexion
that is to say, they do not blush
but whether or not this popularity
may be attributed to qualities in tho
cuticle or to lack of artificial means
adapted to cleanliness is dcbatable
Their teeth, as n rule, are almost per-
feet. In form and motion nature, ON
her behalf, has added grace to sym
metry, but limited her projections in
this regard to but few years. She
natures at the age of Is to II, is
seen at her best at from 16 to II, at
20 she begins to fade, and at % or p
she is old The word old means
much to her.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Eloridian Pest,

The red bug of Florida is near
equivalent of the choigre that infests
blackberry patches in New York
state and farther south. The red bug
is almost invisible to the naked eye,
but he appeals strongly to at least
one other sense. After the traveller
has slept in region where these in
sects abound he rises next morning
with an almost intolerable itching,
and red Jumps begin to appear all
over his body. The red bug has bur
rowed into the flesh and doubtless
deposited eggs in the burrow. The
Jumps and the itching stay with the
victims for the better part of week,
and marks of the red bugs rayage>
are carried for nearly month. -Chi-

MISCELLANY.
MOTIVE toWea IN A STORM.


Greater Than the Combined Horsepower
of Every Description In the World.
A noted French scientist, II. Mohn,
made careful estimate of the en-
ergy expended in the passage of
notable West India cyclone, which
lasted three days and nights, and the
conclusion reached was that tho
force developed was fully equal to
473, 600, 900 horsepower, or at least
u times the power that is produced
IN the same space of time by all the
windmills, turbines, steam engines
and all the men and animals on the
surface Of the globe. whence comes
this latent force?" he asks, and the
answer is, From the latent heat of
yapor which rises in the center of
the hurricane and is there con-
denscd.
Applying this method of computa-
ton to mid-continent cyclonic move
ments with which the people of this
region are familiar, some most as
tonishing results will be reached.
Suppose, for illustration, storm is
developed of sufficient extent and
force to yield to the state of Iowa an
average of one inch of rainfall. To
produce this the area covered by the
blow" in its movement across the
valley must be from three to five
times the extent of the area of pre-
cipitation, for it should be known
that to obtain even moderate
amount of moisture you must milk
q wide e,,lanse of sky. On the aver
age the area of rainfall in this por-
ton of the continent does not exceed
one-fifth of the territory covered by
the cyclone. All parts of this area
feel the effects of the passing storm,
but only fraction thereof receives
benefit of the rainfall. There is q
vast sweep in the circulation of winds
employed in the work of wringing
out a purely local shower. And the
m total of energy employed in the
production Of rainfall to the extent
herein described would be more than
equal to the motive power required
to operate all the machinery of tho
world for an equal length Of time. -

STRENGTH oF1He SWAN.
An Experience Illustrating the Force of a
Blow From n Swans Wing.

An Experience Illustrating the Force OF a
Blow From Swans Wing.
We all know the tradition about
the power of swans wing-that
it's blow will break mans leg. /
questioned man who has much to
do with swans about the credibility
of the tale, and he told me that he
for one was ready to believe it and
thought that any other man who had
received such blow from swans
wing as he had suffered would be
likely to believe it also.
He was summoned from his cot
tage by the news that one of his
cygnets was in trouble. A boy had
been amusing himself with the ele-
CANT sport of giving the cygnets
meat attached to long string. When
the cygnet had swallowed the meat
well down, the boy would pull it up
again by means of the string. 1t was
great fun for the boy, and the cygnet
was unable to express its feelings in
telligibly. On the occasion in ques-
ton, however, the lump of meat
stuck. 1t would not come, and the
boy, fearing consequences, had let
slip the string and bolted. The cyg-
net tried to swallow the string, but
began to choke before it got to the
end. At this juncture my friend WIS
summoned to its aid and sin ultaue-
ously, as it appeared, the stately par
emf of the cygnet, who was swim
ming in the pond close by, perceived
that something was amiss with its
offspring. 1t swan to the bank and
commenced making its way to the
young ones assistance.
But the swans method of progress
sion on land is as awkward and slow
as on the water it is graceful and
swift. The swanherd was the first
to reach the cygnet, and soon seeing
the trouble had calculated to re.
move it before the parent came UP
with him. But his calculations had
moderated the length of the string
or the pedestrian speed of the swan.
Just as he had succeeded in extricat-
ing the lump of meat from the gullet
of the distressed youngster the old
bird caught him blow with its wing
on that part of the person which is
most exposed to attack when a man
is STOPPING over and the onset is
made from behind He was knocked
over on his face, and continuing the
impetus received from the swan by
scuttling over the grass on his hands
and knees was able to escape from
the birds fury, which was soon
transferred to solicitude for it's little
one But the blow had been suffi-
GENTLY powerful to make the sitting
posture uninviting for several days
and to incline him to give credence
to any legends about the strength of
swans wing. -Macmillan's Maya

Bagcinc Grapes.

Bagging grapes produces choice,
clean fruit Bagging is sure pre-
vcntive of grape rot. Again, when
the newly formed small grape clus-
ters are covered with bag and Sc
curely fastened the depredations of
birds and insects will be almost if
not quite wholly avoided. The latter
sting many of tho berries and make
them wormy. When the grapes are
ripe, insects cut them open, and bees
soon use up the punctured ones.
These, with the birds, can so de-
moralize an acre of grapes that one
cannot get sound punches enough
to make fair exhibition of them.
All this can be prevented by bagging.
1t is seldom that at town or county
fairs fruitgrowers or farmers make
the display of grapes that they
should make. Why should not every
farmer make something of a small
fruit exhibit? By simply tying a
common MANILA bag around the
newly formed fruit cluster the
choicest fruit may be obtained. Tie
the neck close, but avoid tying in
such a manner that severe winds
break the clusters from the vines.
Try this as an experiment. Leave
the bags on until the fruit is fully
ripe. Upon removal the fruit will
be of largo size, finely formed and de
veloped and so bright and lustrous
one could scarcely doubt each berry
had been carefully cleancd.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

As you turned from the town, and the valley

there broke on the sight such II tiny abode,

Long long to the hill with its shcltoring brcust
II had cudd1e5 as clos, as bird to it's nest,
And never came night but it's window panes
glowed
with welcome flung out at the bend in the

The quaintest Of mortals had lodging therein
Eith the dream OF dinple asleep in his Oh n
And bow lille prince. which he fondly BE-
slowed
When he flung wide the gate at the bend of tn,
road
Though his stock was askew and his wig WI
awry,
The laugh and the luster that loapcd from hi-
ego
Told his heart held the love of his kind for its
code,
the odd little man at the bend in the road.
He would brood by the hour DER his one win

With its old fashioned blossoms sweet william

Yet the cloud always fed and the mirth ever
flowed
When u wanderer paused at the bend in tn,
road.
ais life had its story, twas whispered, and
woe
Had crushed the fair flower of his hopes ut %
blow
And yet TO the last he made light of his load,
The brave little man ut the bend in the road.
Now he sleeps his last sleep, though in memory
still
see his bent figure an over the sill.
And gone is the gatohouse, his CHEEKY abode
While The grass waves it's green at the beEd III
