Restitution by an Earthquake.

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" is a we'll known axiom which
was verified once in somewhat peculiar
manner in the Philippine islands.
About Ia years ago the first class iron
vessel Rhoodie, of 1000 tons register,
was scuttled in Manila bay, having
caught fire when on the point Of sailing
with full and valuable cargo Of hemp,
pearl, she'll, gum copal, bar copper and
other merchandise.
During the earthquake many months
later she was thrown mp by n tidal wave
from where she lay in 10 fathoms Of
water to close inshore in two or three
fathoms and was then purchased by an
enterprising diving and salvage company
just started in Singapore for the trifling
sum Of Ella, when 1t transpired that her
cargo had not suffered from her long
submersion and was valued at about
$50, 900. Weekly.

How One Man Makes n Living by Buying
Canadian Money.

All through that part of the country
(northern Ohio) there is discount Of 20
cents on every Canadian dollar. OF
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender Of
the United States, but there was enough
for his purpose. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 30
cents on the dollar IL was some time
before he had any results from this ad-
vertising. Il was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight and
offered to give away sovereigns. People
laughed at him. The farmers were shy.
They thought it was a svindling game
of some kind and left him severely
alone. One day man came in with $40
Canadian money. 1t was of all shapes
and sizes from tho cent piece that
looks like dime TO dollar bill drawn
on the Bank of Montreal. If he had
spent it, he could have secured rs worth
of goods for it. My man gave him nine
big silver dollars in United States mon
ey for it, Before the week was out he
had exchanged United States dollars for
$3.50 worth of Canadian money. This
would give him profit of $50 wherever
Canada money is as good as our own.
From that time ON the business grad
ually increased, until today he averages
about $3.50 a week. Instead of having
the farmers come to him he goes to
them and buys their accumulated saw
ings of Canada coin. They are all his
customers and know him we'll in the five
years they have done business together.
"Are you not afraid Of competition in
your business in case it becomes gener-
ally knownf" asked. "No," said he,
"you see, it requires comparatively
large amount of money as starting
capital. Then have to have men in the
frontier cities who will give me United
States money for my Canada currency.
i generally take a trip twice year to
Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo,
where make these exchanges. All this
requires years Of preparation, and no
outsider could step in and make ex-
changes with my patrons, as they have
all the money they can handle now,
even at a per cent commission on the
dollar. Buffalo Express

himself with fresh baked biscuit l

at some little distance and asked the
meaning Of the strange performance ut
Mahone's tent. Then came the explana-
tion that the negro had baked pan Of
sour and heavy biscuits for breakfast,
and Malone. by way Of an object lesson,
had set the cook down to eat all Of his
own product. The negro ate away as
fast as possible, and Malone kept up his
patrol until the last biscuit disappeared.
The performance was characteristic Of
the eccentric but determined little man

A Great Feast of Honey That Two Of Them
Unearthed.

"You remember those two coons
told You about that we had with the
crow and the dog up in the Cumberland
mountains during the war;" said Ser
geant McGrew. "Well, those coons were
about as much fun as the crow. A coon
is pretty fond Of devilment himself,
and when he has a crow TO help him
whoop things up and there are two
coons and crow the hilarity Is pretty
continuous. Sometimes we could hardly
get any work out Of the men for watch
ing the menagerie. If we had just had
a monkey to top off the collection with,
l am satisfied no one would have work
ed any. We did get cub bear after
awhile, but he was eclipsed by the coons
and the crow, though by himself a
young pet bear is good company.
''Do you know that coons love honey
as well as bearF Well, they do, for a
fact. There was great high tree where
our camp was, so tall and big that 1t
shaded our whole camp. l used to no
tice that the two coons would go up
that tree and got out on one certain
limb and lay there for hours. couldn't
account for this except it was that they
were hiding from that internal crow
that never gave them any peace. One
day thought saw little hole in the
underside of that limb right under the
coons, and I fancied 1 saw something
moving. got fieldglass, and then
saw bees going In and out. The coons
had smelled 1t out. They couldn't get
to It, being on the underside of the
limb, but they laid as close to IL as they
could get, keeping up mighty switch
ing and occasionally running their paws
into the hole. But they never got taste.
"Well, reported the bees nest, and
we held council Of war. Some opposed
cutting the tree down because Of the
shade II gave us. Others wanted to post
pone action, but as the enemy was lia-
BILE to chase us out any day, and I was
as honey hungry as the coons, 1 object
ed. We decided to chop off tho limb. 1t
was so high up that the fall would have
ruined the honey. We had sailor chap,
though, who could climb like a monkey,
and he rigged up ropes so that when the
limb was severed 1t was lowered gently
down and never Jared the honey.
"Well, we split the limb. You never
saw such a find of wild honey. There
was about barrelful, / should Judge.
When we had robbed it, we left the re-
mains for the coons, and, Lord, what n
time they hadi They would cock their
heads, run their paws down, lick off the
honey, and an expression of real heaven
ly delight would creep into their faces.
II was funny to watch them chew the
comb till the honey was all gone. roll
the wax up into ball in their mouths
and then remove it and dip down for
more honey. And they seemed to recog-
nize the service we had done them in
cutting down the limb. They thought
we had doneit for their special benefit,
and in coon language they showed their
gratitude as plainly as could be as long
as a speck of honey lasted. After that
they returned to original sin and unin-
terrupted deviltry. st. Louis Post

Have asked greater boon.
Lifc's turbid stream grew calm and clear,
The cold winds sank TO rest,
Hand clasped with you, no bitter pain
Found dwelling In my breast;
did not dread iife's care and toll,
Your love dispelled all gloom,
And now on graves of buried hopes
. The sweetest violets bloom.
My every breath and every thought
We're pure because OF you,

My hands and feet were swift TO do
The good that near thcm lay,
And in my heart throughout the year
The Joy bird song each day.
A flash You passed out OF my life
No, mol Your spirit still
Is sun and moon and guiding star
Through every cloud and Ill;
As down the rainbowed years go
You still arc at my side,
And some day shall stand with you
