A Match For the Lawyer.

A dialogue about heaven took place
o few days ago between 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 in
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 us"
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, y
and she could prove it by Scripture.
"How can you prove it?" said the law
yer. "Why," she replied, "the Scrip
ture saws 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-

THE GOLD VAULT.

eff 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.
"The weight of NIL Uncle Sans sil.
yer is 1G, 440 tons. If it were loaded
into railroad cars, 10000 pounds to
the cor, we should have S22 car loads.
This would mako twenty trains of
forty-one cars each, and these trains,
with their locomotives, would have IN
aggregate length Of six miles.
"The coined dollars arc packed in
boxes containing $4,000 each. 1t is
about all q man can do to carry of one
of these boxes. Suppose We want to
move all OF Uncle Sans silver by man
power at the same time, VIC 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.
elf the Government were forced to
carry all tho silver across country in
wagons probably 1000 pounds would
be n fair load to each two.horse team,
taking good roads OF 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

How to Make n Novel Mouse Trap.

Mice are very knowing little ani-
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 preserves--an tie over the
top piece of stiff brown paper. In
the center of this cut cross. Set tne
jar in closet md suspend by string
piece of toasted cheese Oh 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 bourd on the edge of
the jar and allowing the other end to
rest on the floor. If there are any
mice about the bait will attract
them. Just as soon us 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 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 Tarantula.

The tarantula is giant spider,
sometimes measuring four inches il
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, aud 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 tarantala
can hardly be classed as deadly, it is
always extremely painful, enu has
probably III some cases caused death.
The tarantula is remarkable both
for its ferceness and its extraordin-
ary swiftness. BY 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 per-
pendicular surface with great ease.

SIMPLE STYLES FOR HAlF.aRowN GIRLS

SIMPLE STYLES FOR HALF-GRowN GIRLS.
There are few departments of dress
that require moro careful handling
than that of q half-grown girl. She is
too large for children's fashions and
not quite old enough for grown-ups,
and her costuming is usually attended
with good deal OF worry and perplex-
ity. There are, however, some simple
styles that are always to be approved
md TINT aro girlish and becoming
without being too formal and compli-
catod. One of theseis dress of white
nuns yelling. The skirt is in straight
widths, with the front and sides slight
ly gorcd and plated in to o belt.
Down the front Of the skirt and in two
strips ct either side are bands of inser-
ton, ribbon or galloons. The waist is
slightly full, gathered into q yoke and
belt, and from shoulders to belt and
in the front and back are perpendicu-
lar bands of the same garniture. The
sleeves are very full puffs of the mate
rie!, with bands Of trimming from the
armholcs down to the narrow cuffs
inst below the elbows. Frills OF lace
fnll over The arms, and tue collar is
flushed with narrow ruching OF silk,

want 'em. We've done everything we
could to induce the people to take the

enable the Secre etary of the Treasury

for other money without expense to
the people, but it doesn't seem to
make any difference. They don't 60.
Why, the number of standard dollars

of inducing the people to take more

WHITE PARASOLS,

White parasols prevail, one Of plain,
1ich 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 aud black stripes in
row after row around the centre are
of very thick silks, and are in best
style when quite plain.
For those who object to the glare
that comes through these pretty white
caropies are chanseablo silk covers OF
two very rich aud rather snowy col
ors, while ladies just returned from
abroad have brought home coaching
purasols 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.

One of the strangest coffins ever
told Of is that for which the British
War Department is said to be respon-
sible. The story is that workman
engaged in casting metal for the man
ufacture of ordnance at the Woolwich
Arsenal lost his balance and fell into
q caldron containing twelve tons of
molten steel. The metal was at white
heat, and the man was utterly con-
sumed in less time than it takes to tell
of it. The War Department authori.
ties held conference and decided not
to profane the dead by using the
metal in the manufacture of ordnance,
md that mass of metal was actually
buried and q Church OF England
clergyman read the service for the
dead over it.

again, when does woman's arm look

gloves take the place of the lorgnette,

been essential that the woman of
fashion shall have something about
her costume that she may prune and

every chance for pretty movement OF
