They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of 10 cent piece
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in a
tentative fashion. 1t is to be noted.
however, that whenever a customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it-almost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass-
ing into his hands. For a third thing.
and this is the most important, there is
always chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over a
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to go away, he is not likely
to be called back to get the change. Oc-
caslonally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of the fruit man.

FOR STARTING THE FIRE.
The Use to Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets.

The Use to Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets.
In the majority Of households an old
newspaper is the material most COM
monty used to start a fire, and the ad-
Justment of this material is a matter of
| considerable art. There should be enough
OF 1t to make a flame sufficient to ignite
the wood laid upon it, and it should be
put III with just the right degree of
Iooseness SO that the air will circulate
through 1T and make it burn freely and
to the best advantage But there are
houses Ill which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes of fishermen.
Here, year in and year out, dav after
day, the fire is started with a chunk Of
discarded tarTed netting, and there is
nothing like it.
When a net gets tender, so that = is
likely to burst when a body of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in a tide way,
or to break with big catch of fish, it
Is condemned. 1t may be whole and
look all right, but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it. Some fishermen using
a considerable number of nets may have
half a ton of such netting in year.
They use it to start fires, and give away
some Of it. Formerly they sold it for
junk, and they do so now occasionally,
though not so much as they did. It
brings a cent a pound.
This netting has been tarred again
and again with fine, thin tar and it is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
feet deep. A length of it is rolled ND
and the roll is then flattened down. The
fiattened roll may be inches wide, and
1t is cut off with an ak into chunks of
perhaps foot i'll length, just enough to
lie nicely ON the CRATE Of a kitchen
range. 1t is thoroughly dried before it
Is used. 1t all ignites quickly, and
burns fiercely and uniformly, with a
blush flame and rather pleasant odor.
A properly laid fire with section of
old tarred netting to start it never goes
out. Whoever attends to the kitchen
fire IN the fisherman's house prepares it,
If possible, the night before and pulls a
strand from the tarred netting out
through the bars of the CRATE in front.
To start the fire in the morning all that
is necessary is to touch lighted match
to the end Of that tarred rope yarn.
Some Of this tarred netting has been
sold to start the fire in locomotives.
Such thing is not unheard of as the
use of cotton waste and oil for this pur-
pose, but sheet of old tarred netting
laid over the CRATE bars beats the cotton
waste out of sight. Still, locomotives
have multiplied and tarred netting cuts
no figure as a means of starting the fire
in them. 1t is perhaps now used for
that purpose, if at all, only on roads
running through or near fishing dis
tricts. And, as said, it is now rarely
sold. The fisherman uses it to start his
own fire, and the man who has more
than he wants gives to his neighbor.-

Senator and Soldiers.

The days when senators and represent
atlves III congress were expected to
frank letters for private soldiers, re-
counted by Mr.. J. a. Warous of Chicago
III some army "reminiscences, were dan
gerous ones for congressional visits to
the military camps.
Mr.. WatrOus says that Senator Timo-
thy o. Howe of Wisconsin once visited
the headquarters of his friend, General
Rufus King, and was at the first oppor-
tuunity besieged by the soldiers with
packages Of envelopes to be franked.
Senator HO'-'9 was one of the most
good natured Of men, and Immediately
sat down i'll the tent of one of the cap
tains and began to frank envelopes by
the hundred
General King had made special prep
aratiOns for dinner i'll honor of his
guest. 1t was to eclipse all the camp
dinners that had been given for long
time. Senator Howe had been franking
envelopes about half an hour when the
call came for dinner. He went Oh writ
ing, and General King came to get him.
70 on, hlng; L II Ge there directly,
said the senator.
Dinner was served. The guests had
arrived. No one ate, but after awhile
the cOlored cook was sent to tell the SEN
ator that the meal was getting cold.
"Oh, tell them to go ahead, said
the senator, still writing madly on sol
diers' envelopes. "I'll be with them as
soon as can.
He finished the pile and rose to go,
but just then two more soldiers came in
with fresh parcels, and he seated him
self again. After he had signed them
all he joined the inpatient company at
a cold dinner.
'I'm sorry" he said, "but it made
the boys happy. They will make their
friends happy with all the letters they
will send in those franked envelopes,
and it made me happy to do it. "

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton,
Pa, bore her thirty-four years of suf-
fering with courage and fortitude.
Her trouble was rheumatism in the
knee. In consequence her limb had
become so stiff that she could hardly
walk. Mr.. Stamm is well-to-do
merchant, and had spared no pains or
expense to relieve her, but with little
success, until one night when it grew
so painful that she'cOuld hardly endure
it, he persuaded her to try Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. The effect was
magical. The first application relieved
the pain, and its continued use has re-
moved all stiffness and given her the
free use of her limb once more. If
you have friend who is troubled with
rheumatism insist on their giving this
remedy trial. You can do them no
greater favor, as it is sure to give
prompt relief, and if they are little
patient it will effect cure. For sale

English Lawyers.

In the United States the names ap
piled to lawyers are usually attorney
and counselor at law. In Great Britain
there are barristers at law, who are
counselors, learned in the laws, quail
fed and admitted to practice at the bar;
solicitors, who are attorneys, advocates
or counselors at law, who are authorized
to practice in the English court of chan
Gerry; sergeants at law, who are lawyers
of the highest rank and answer to the
doctor of the civil law. Only after 16
years of practice at the bar can one be-
come a sergeant Queens counsel are
eminent lawyers, who are given by the
government that title, and from their
number all the judges are chosen.
