SO many different styles of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the
PrimuS was introduced a
year ago. This style burns
a kerosene vapor and is nom
explosive; yon can turn it
upside down and no danger
will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
moval of the filler cap eX-
tinguisheS the flame in
stantly. In point of Simpli-
city it has no equal for it has
no wick, burns any grade of
kerosene and the flame can
be regulated. 1t produces a
heat of from 2,Ioo deg. to
1000 deg. Fair. and CONSUMES
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense of 2 cents
per hour. Nothing but solid
brass is used in the manu-
facture of the PrimuS, and
when in operation it is abso-
lutely odorless. 1t will bring
1 quart of water to boiling in
, minutes.
We have half dozen styles,
single, double and triple
burners; extensions for sim
5Ies so that three vegetables
nay be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, flat iron
heaters, ovens and every
hing necessary to cook a
neal.

As the result of long and careful ex-
pertinent, the Governor of the Bank
Of France has now intrusted the work
of detection Of forged bank notes and
of debentures with altered numbers
entirely to special corps of women
clerks. He declares that the keen
sensibility of their finger tips enables
them in handling note to distinguish
the difference, however slight, between
the forged and the real article. The
means adopted for bringing to light
the fslsified numbers on debentures
are rather more elaborate, and consist
mainly in the distinction of the diff
ference in the symmetry of the figures
and of the ink used, magnifying
glasses being used for the former and
chemical preparations for the latter.

"No, but as her master advised me

The pirate circled the Russian Bear,
and the captain thereof saw him exam
lining the hole made by the cannon
shot through his glass. Evidently
convinced, he rang full speed ahead,
shouting back to the Bear: "If you've
fooled me, I'll settle with you later"
No one slept on the Russian Bear
that night. She veered toward the
west and keen lookout WAS kept till
morning broke. She fancied they heard
cannon firing in the distance, but no
one was sure. Toward evening of the
next day the outlook aloft shouted that
there was something to the southwest
ward, and the Bears course was laid
in that direction. They came upon

gone, and the yacht lay helpless, with
her Prov high and her stern omin-
ously low in the water. Men were
pumping with feverish industry.
"Yacht ahoy!" cried she captain of
the Bear. "Where's the other fellow"
.'You ask no questions and you won't
be disappointed with the answers. I
am ready to make a fair bargain with
you, captain, if You are"
"Well, you don't look in condition
to drive very hard one"
ooh, I'm in better shape than You
think. We're good for two or three
hours yet. You proposed to call this
a Joke and Pm ready to do so now.
Well put the treasure back on your
old tub and you give as safe passage
to port and no questions asked or
answered when we go ashore. We're
miners from Klondike, we are."
"That's compour ding with piracy"
objected the captain.
ooh, no, it isn't. You said your
self it was joke. OF course We were
merely going to port to wait till you
came. Anyhow, we're not going back
empty to get into prison, you can
make up your mind on that point. We
stop pumping and down she goes, gold
and all"
The passengers implored the captain
to let bygones be bygones as long as
the gold was recovered. The safety
of the gold was his duty, they said.
"All right, "cried the captain. "You
put the gold aboard just as you took it
of. Then each man must come on
deck separately and must submit to be
put in irons. I must insist on that
for the safety of the ship. I'll let You
free as soon as we are tied up at the
wharf"
Each passenger swore he would not
inform on the pirates, and when all
the gold was once more on the ship,
together with the prisoners, the old
Bear moved slowly on while the yacht
disappeared stern foremost And be-
cause the passengers and crew all kept
their oaths, this marine incident never
got into the papers until now.-Detroit

Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became n lane;
That bent and turned and turned again.
This crooked lane became road.
Where many poor horse, with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun.
And Travelled some three miles in one,
Aud thus u century and half.
They troa the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swlftness feet,
The road became q village street,
And this. before the men were aware,
A clty's crowded thorouShfare,
And soon the central street was this,
Or a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and a half,

Followed the zigzaS calf about.

The traffic OF q continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
