A Match For the LAWYER.

A dialogue about heaven took place
few days ago between a member OF
the Baltimore County bar and a lady
eighty-two years old, who was un-
der examination in on equity case.
The lawyer, to test the lady's faith III
the hereafter, asked her if she thought
we would know each other in heaven.
She replied by asking him another
question as to where heaven was. His
reply was not satisfactory to the old
lady, and she told the lawyer that if
he wanted to question her about any
place he must locate it. Then she
added: "Of course, we will know each
other in heaven, for our bodies will be
the same there, except that we Will
not have any blood in u.s."
The lawyer next asked her if she
thought people would have teeth in
heaven. She said she could not on
swer that definitely, but she thought
they would. One thing was certain,
she added: "People would have teeth
IN the place allotted to the wicked,
and she could provs it by Scripture.
Chow can you prove it?" said the law
yer. "Why," she replied, "the Scrip:
ture SAYS the wicked shall be turned
into utter darkness, where there shall
be weeping, wailing and gnashing OF
teeth, and how could they gnash their
teeth if they did not have any? The
attorney did not proceed any further
on that line of examination. .-Balti'

How to Make n Novel Mouse Trap.

Mice are very knowing little ami
mails and are often too shrewd to be
caught by even the best steel traps.
To make very effective mouse trap
take large jar-tho kind used for
jam and prcserves--and tie over the
top piece of stiff brown paper. In
the center of this cut cross. Set the
jar in closet and suspend by a string
piece of toasted cheese or bacon
rind over the centre. If the mice
cannot easily reach the top of the jar
runway may be constructed by plao-
ing one end OF board on the edge Of
the iar and allowing the other end to
rest on the floor. If there are any
mice about the bait will attract
them. just as soon rs the first mouse
reaches the centre of the paper he
will drop through into the jar, and the
paper Will fly back ready for the next
conner.
The same kind Of trap may be
used for catching rats, only q barrel
must be substituted for the jar. a
rat will soon gnaw out of such trap
if not prevented. The best way to
avoid this is to fill the barrel partly
with water. This trap is great fa-
vorite with country people. They lay

THE GOLD VAULT.

''If ull of these dollars were placed
rim to rim, fiat, they would reach
nearly 13, 900 miles.
"They would cover all the space be-
tween the rails on railway line clear
across the State of Iowa, distance OF
$50 miles.
ssThe weight of nil Uncle Sans sill
yer is 16, 440 tons. If it were loaded
into railroad cars, 40, 600 pounds to
the cur, we should have S22 Cur loads.
This would mako twenty trains OF
forty.one cars each, and these trains,
with their locomotives, would have an
aggregate length of six miles.
"The coined dollars arc packed in
boxes containing $4,000 each. 1t is
about all man can do to carry off one
of these boxes. Suppose we want to
move all of Uncle Sans silver by man
power at the same time, We should
need at this rate 274, 900 men. Civ
ing each man five feet of room, they
would make single procession more
than $50 miles
eff the Government wero forced to
carry all tho silver across country in
wagons probably 5000 pounds would
be n fair load to each two.horse team,
taking good roads or bed roads. Six
teen thousand teams would be re-
nuired, and when on the road close
together, one after another. they
would make caravan considerably
more than q hundred miles long.

EMPIRE OF DRESS.
SUMMER STYLES IN WOMEN'S
HATS. AND FROCIlS.
Stiff Bows Of Ribbon Are the Lat
est Freak in NIillInery-Fash-
ionabIc Bonnets The
Floral Blouse.
TYHE latest freakish rule in
millinery cuts away the whole
side of the wide briln of

side of the wide brim of q
hat and substitutes out
spreading, stiff bows ofribbon. These
bows, or rather loops, stand out like
the spokes of o wheel, and may be
bent up and dowa in any becoming
manner. 1t seems rather pity to cut
tbe hat up like that, doesn't it? But
fashions chief fancy just now is to cut
up one thing that another may be run
in to; take the place of what is cnt
away. Bows stand out so iauntily
from the hat in the accompanying
illustration that they seem to be
having pretty much their own way,
but the hat brim here is left intact.
For that matter the appearance that
the bows have of standing wherever
theywilt is NIL pretence, for al the
upper ones are wired into carefully
considered positions. Hats of this
sort are made of fancy straw, with
wide and slightly rolling brims of
contrasting color aud braid that are
taken up in back and fastened against
the low crowns with full bow OF rib
bon. The same ribbon is then used
for the bows in front, and the garni-
ture is completed with punches Of
roses placed at random.

WHITE PARASOLS.

White parasols prevail, one of plain,
itch silk, without trimmings, being
seen in almost every carriage on q
sunny day. The chiffon parasols are
reserved for midsummer and for pi.
azza use, where the sun is less fierce.
Others in white md black stripes in
row after row around the centre arc
of very thick silks, and are in best
style when quito plain.
For those who object to the glare
that comes through these pretty white
canopies are changeablo silk covers Of
two very rich and rather snowy col
ors, while ladies just returned from
abroad have brought home coaching
parasols of large gay Scotch plaids,
with thick polished stick and faceted
crystal knob. The small old-time sun
shades that may be turned down on
one side are again used by elderly In
dies, who appreciate them for their
lightness and convenience.

TIIOS J. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR

'Not ct many as you would think, I"
replied the guide. "We have coined
422, 900, 900 of these dollars, al he
number in circulation isnow only D.
600, 900. The people don't seem to
want 'em. We've done everything we
could to induce the people to take the
standard dollar. Congress has appro-
priated money nearly every year to
enable the Secret tary of the Treasury
to send out silver dollars in exchange
for other money without expense to
the people, but it doesn't seem to
make any difference. They don't go.
Why, the number of standard dollars
in circulation now is much smaller
than it was few years ago. Instead
of inducing the people to take more
of the dollars, they have actually been
sending them back to u.s."
"Do you know how much the Gov
ernment has paid out for silver"

The TarautIla,

The tarantula is giant spider,
sometimes measuring four inches in
length. 1t is fawn.colored above, with
white sides, marked with whitish
lines.
1t has four pairs of well-developed
legs, in addition to the mandibles or
jaws, which contain the poison appara.
tus. These are grooved, mud the pois.
onous secretion, which is similar in
composition to the venom OF snakes,
is contained in q gland at the base of
the mandibles and is forced through
the grooves when the spider is angry
md grasps its victim. The body and
legs are thickly covered with hair.
Although the bite of the tarantula
can hardly be classed as deadly, it is
always extremely painful, and has
probably in some cases caused death.
The tarantula is remarkable both
for it's tierceness and its extraordin-
ary swiftness. BIZ the use of eight
long and vigorous legs it flashes over
the ground, and as these legs are sharp
and prehensile, it can run up o per
pendicular surface with great ease.
