these small pieces to the
heavier and larger dishes
which sell at $50.

Some people think it takes brains
to make money; but money breeds:
Uncle Russell Sage has an income
of about 20 cents per second, which
is $12 per minute, and as the clock
ticks an hour, $720. Every morn
ing he has an additional credit for
the "a hours his dollars have been
working of $l7,82O, and every birth
day, recording $50 days, there may
be added to his accumulations the
sum of Sc, ,3O7, 200. If a man could
count 10000 day, it would take
him to count the above income in
exact figures, 5 years, 5 days and
"a minutes.

Among :he most recent culprits

1t is the labor that is the most
expensive item on a farm. 1t is
much cheaper to have good man
at high wages, who can handle the
maximum number of COWS, than to
have a cheap man who can do only
half as much work. A good farm
hand who understands his business
saves time aud labor.

George Gould has won his suit
to prevent the collection of an in
heritance tax on $5, 1000, 900 be-
queathed to him by his father. H.
contended that the bequest was in
payment for services rendered by
him to his father, and the court
sustained his contention. His SER
vices must be valuable. He GER
tainly did not give over ten years
of them to his father, and the courr
therefore must consider that his
labor Is worth $5OO,O00 year, or
$41,667 a month, or $l,602 q
working day. There never lived a
man whose services were worth
such sum, and a judicial decision
to that effect is an absurdity. -

A western inventor recently pat
ented scheme by which, he claims
he can arti6cially cool whole
community at little expense At
certain intervals he would erect
skeleton towers, like windmill tow
ers, each having an electric trolley
wire running from bottom to top.
The wire transports peculiarly
made bombs to chute at the top,
where they are exploded by cleo
tricity. The bombs contain lique-
fed car bonic acid gas, which, when
liberated by the explosive, will
instantly evaporate and severely
chill the surrounding atmosphere.

Every person who has "taken
mp" land under the homestead laws
or other laws should perfect the
title to that land just as soon as
possible. No delays, because the
law may permit it, should be tho't

valuable, and it will not be long
until we will have land sharks
among us, who will not scruple at

our advice is perfect your titles as
early as possible.--Graham Guar

ETIQUETTE IN WHIST.

The following eight rules which
were adopted by the third annual
congress of the Amalgamated Fe-
male Whist players of America,
are formulated to prevent the learn
er from unintentionally making the
game dull and uninterest;ng. They
should be carefully memorized by
the beginner:
l. Conversation during the play
is limited strictly to the weather.
fashion, society, the drama, music,
art, sports, the new woman, the
last few tricks and everything else
that may tend TO break the firing
monotony habitual to new players
The success of the game depends
on this.
2. Each player should at once
throw out hints as to the quality
of her hand, her satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with it, and her ap-
proval or disapproval of each play.
This will make you u popular part
ner with the men.
3. A player should never wait
to lead until the preceding trick
is turned and quilted. Delays of
this sort are always unnecessary
and make the game slow.
4. Never fail, as the second
trick is turned, to inquire what is
trump. Repeat the inquiry a, short
intervals throughout the hand
This is the easiest way to fix it in
dellibly in your memory.
5. Frequently card should be
played in such a manner as to call
particular attention to it. If you
think your partner is not aware of
it, touch your card and say, "Now
remember 1 played that % He
might have finished the game with
the impression that it played itself.
6. When you have played the
highest in suit, and it is your part
ner's turn to play, never fail to re-
mind him that it is your trick. He
might think it belonged to your
uncle in Nebraska.
7. When you are accused of re-
voking stoutly deny it. If it is
proved against you, you can explain
at length just how you came to do
it. If you discover your own revoke
never fail to revoke second time.
In this way the second error will
escape notice little longer. This
will make all the men glad they
are in the game, and admire you.
8. If you are bystander, walk
around the table and look over the
hands of the players. Do not for
get to call frequent attention to the
game during the play at each hand
This will prevent your husband s
friend from being neglected. .-Ex.

Navy, was launched this afternoon, in the
presence OF a large crowd. The unusual
