What Not to Do When You &c to the
seashOre.
Tho St. Louis Republic offers some
useful suggestions to girls who bathe
at the seaside:
Don't wear a conspicuous bathing
suit
Don't loiter about the sands in
your bathing suit; go directly into the
water.
Don't sit IN the sand in wet bath
ing suit with man similarly attired.
Don't battle with strange mem the
etiquette of introduction is just as
strict in the water as in the drawing
room.
Don't loiter about the bathhouse cor
ridols; a woman in a wet bathing cos
tune is not thing OF beauty.
Don't wash the salt out of your hair
under the pump with the assistance OF
half a dozen men.
Don't imagine that even the Venus de
Milo could lool, pretty with her wet
hair hanging down her back.
Don't talk from one bathing house
to another, and don't report progress
Of your toilet to your girl chum.
Don't encourage men to loiter out
side your clearinghouse waiting for
your reappearance.
Don't dry your hair on the beach, but
twist it in a knot, and returning to your
hotel dry it on an upper balcony.
Don't go in to the cafe after your
bath and take a cocktail

Government Treasurer Carries an Item
Representing Paper Long Ago Destroyed.
The books of the United States treas
ury still carry an item of 100000,
which represents United States notes
which are supposed to have been con-
sumed in the great Chicago fire 25
years ago, says the New York Sun. II
was known that there was 81 100000 Of
currency, more or less, in the vaults OF
the subtreasury then, and that none
of it was recovered, but the denom-
nations of those notes and the exact
amount are unknown, as the books OF
the cashier were consumed also. There
could not have been, however, very
many dollars less or very many dollars
more than 81 900, 900, and it would sim
plify The accounts of the treasury and
save u great deal of labor to the book
keepers if congress should pass bill
or resolution recognizing the fact
that this money is no longer in
existence, for every day when the
cashier of the treasury balances
his accounts he has to include
this item. deducting it or adding it
as the case may be from the amount
IN hand. It appears upon every daily
weekly, monthly and yearly statement
of the assets and liabilities of the gov

SUDDENLY BECAME RloA.


of Precious Metal
a prospecting miner returning, wear
ried and Disguised, from an unsuccessful
season. stumbled across a bowlder so
rich in gold that in an instant he is a
millionaire, says the New York Jour
nal. It reads like fairy tale, but it
happens to be true.
There is satisfactory evidence Of the
truth Of Martin Neilly's wonderful find.
II was on Monday, April p, that Nelly
was returning to Rossland, D. c., afcSr
an unsuccessful prospecting trip in the
Salmon river district. He had reached
the Columbia river at q point six ms cs
north of Trail Landing, 3. c., at about
noon, and. selecting a site on the hank
Of the stream, at the foot of Lookout
mountain, sat down 10 eat his dinner.
As he munched his humble food he
noticed a huge bowlder, half buried IN
the sand, in a dry portion Of the river
bed. not far from where he sat.
When he had finished his meal he
walked over to the bowlder. examining
il In casual manner. and then. as his
experienced eye detected signs of the
precious metal for which he had vainly
sought for months, he attacked the
great gray mass with his pick working
with feverish energy. He almost
swooned when fragment Of rock came
away, showing distinctly the traces of
gold and copper.
Il am rich" he shouted. Then he
proceeded to take specimens of the orc
from a dozen places on the bowlder.
staked out his claim, hurried into Ross
land. arriving late in the afternoons and
recorded the claim. The next day he
had his specimens assayed by different
experts, who found that the ore ran in
value all the way from four to fifty
eight dollars to the ton.
When he told Of his great fortune
there was a wild rush to the place. A
surveyor accompanied Nelly to his
bonanza, and, after making measure
ments, declared that the bowlder
weighed approximately 10000 tons, and
that, in round numbers, it will prove to
be worth 81, 900 900.

There is, of course, such thing as

water. II comes from liberal employ
ment of saehet powder among your be

COMPOSITION OF SEA WATER.
1t Holds All Soluble Substances Found on

1t Holds All Soluble Substances Found on
the Earth.
1t is stated by chemists that sea water
holds in solution every soluble sub
stance found on the earth. 1t is easy
to see why this should be so, and also
why common salt should form the most
considerable element. In the course of
countless eyes, the rains falling on the
earth, dissolving and carrying down to
the sea whatever is soluble in water.
the mysterious chemistry of water al,
ways at work, separating from each
other elements not soluble, in water
alone, have impregnated the ocean
water with scores of different sub
stances. The conspicuousness of salt
is readily explained by its abundance
in nature, being everywhere present,
and also by the fact that there are. be-
meath the ocean bed, as on land, extern
siye deposits of the substance, together
with salt springs, which add their pof
tion to the amount brought down by
the rivers. Though seldom thought Of
in this way, the sadness of the ocean is
marvellous provision of nature for the
perpetuation Of the human race on tho
earth. No putrefaction can occur in sea
water, and were it not for this fact the
waters of the ocean would, in few hum
bred years, become a solid mass of de-
eaying animal and vegetable matter and
human life on the earth would be inn
possible.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Patients Haye Queer Whins That Cannot

About the manner Of serving their
rood patients sometimes have curious
fancies. In one case a woman fatty
refused to take her beef tea unless
the bread which accompanied it was
cut in the shape Of diamonds. while
in another 1t is always necessary to
serve the food in blue bowl, for out
of nothing else whatever would she take
nourishment.
A boy who was attacked with scarlet
fever showed great disinclination to
take hir food, but finally agreed to swal
low what was necessary, ps3riIea he
was fed in the following way; The
beef tea, or whatever was to be given
him, was put into a silver teapot, the
spout was placed in his mouth, and in
this manner the food was poured down
his throat.
An elderly gentleman who spent
much of his time in hunting in Africa.
on being asked If he fancied any par
ticular dish, replied that he would like
a bit Of elephants foot. Under GER
tain circumstances this dish is a dainty
and nourishing one, but the price OF the
elephant being prohibitive, this elderly
Nimrod was forced to content himself
with beefsteal1 instead.

This Man Has a Grievance Against the
Weather Bureau.
It was one of the hottest days that
usurped the privileges of balmy spring.
The sun beat down until a mist of heat
came from the stone walks and the
brick walls. Toward a furnishing store
a fat man, among Detroit's best-lnown
citizens, made his weary way. In one
hand he used two handlerchiefs as a
mop, while with the other he kept up
the busy action of palm-leaf fan. Peri
SEPARATION ran in merry rivulets down his
shining face, to be absorbed in the wilt
ed collar and collapsed shirt front that
were immaculate an hour before. He
was painting with the respiratory unc-
ton of u porpoise and at intervals NUT
tered excavations that Kissed with
steam. His hair looked as though he
had been swimming, and his nose was
beaded with glistening drops:
"Show me a straw hat" ordered the
man of flesh as he settled down on the
little round seat that at once suggested
the frail stem of great toadstool.
Looks like rain" ventured the clerk,
who is always under orders to be pleas
ant.
Don't look bit like rain. Weather
forecast is for dry spell. This one
will do. Now I'll get some pie-plant
leaves and put in it. Don't propose to
have my brain baked"
An hour later he was on the wooded
Fart of the island, handkerchiefs and
fan still in commission. Suddenly, as
it the heavens had opened, he was
deluged with rain. The mucilage from
the hat mingled with the extracted
green Of the big leaf, poured down over
his head. neck and face, blinded his
eyes, filled his ears and streamed over
his natty light suit. He swore out
rageously as he CROPPED his way to the
landing, and by his hopelessly bedrag-
gled appearance excited the passengers
to say that the poor fellow must have
been drinking to cool off and then went

anything off. He was a study in water

A commercial traveller who stayed

he hired a boat, equipped it with the
necessary tackle, started out and was
soon busy watching his line. After a

got hold and commenced to pull. To
make sure it was fish he leaned over
the side of the boat and peered down
through the water, and when he found

efforts to extricate himself from his
unpleasant position he became en-

appeared with pint flask in his blanket

was given up without word of pro-

FOLDING KITES.
A Novelty from France That Closes Like
an Umbrella

A Novelty from France That Closes Like
an Umbrella
A novelty from France is a folding
kite. Folded up it looks somewhat like
a small rolled-up umbrella; opened out
ready to fly its shape is like that of the
kite commonly known as the bow kite.
It has a single upright stick, which is
80 inches in length. The bow is formed
of two light steel ribs, one on either
side of the stick, which are raised into
place and bowed into form, as the ribs
of an umbrella are raised; there are
braces running from the ribs to a metal
band which slides on the stick, like the
sliding ferrule on the handle of an UNI
brella; when the bow is raised and in
place it is held there by turning little
metal button attached to the kite stick
under the band to which the braces are
attached As the ribs are raised their
inner ends, where they meet at the
stick, near the top, bow up into light
metal holder which projects slightly on
either side of the stick and which holds
the two parts of the bow in line.
The kite is covered with light muslin;
they are used in covering the kites
muslins of various colors, so that some
of the kites are red, some blue, and so
on. The tail is of string with little
parti-colored punches of muslin cut
tings attached along its length, as lit
tie punches Of paper are sometimes at
tached to string kite tails; at the end
there is a little bag in which may be
placed marble or other weight, if more
ballast is required, in high wind.
