His Candid Opinion.

The most ordinary facts may be pre- sented in such light as to be scarcely recognizable, and thus presented they are likely to occasion highly original and unexpected comments.
 A prominent physician of this city, says the Washington Star, owns farm in New England, and whenever he gets unbearably tired of his fashionable pa tients he goes there, puts on his oldest clothes, lays ill a stock of corncob pipes and rusticates. One day last summer he was jogging lazily along country road in a rickety old cart drawn by a horse almost as rickety. A countryman walk ing on the same road asked for lift, and the two fell into conversation.
 "Who are you workin for?" asked the countryman.
 "Oh, I'm working for Dr. J. dowr there," answered the physician.
 "What doin?'
 "Oh," went on the doctor, "I do ev. erything for him! take care of him. you know. dress him and feed him. and even wash his face and put hin to bed. do everything he needs done. ,
 "How much do you get for it?" asked the native
 My board and clothes. "
 "An you do all that for him-Tasl him an dress him an feed him an all that?''
 "Yes.' '
 The countryman looked at the doctor a moment in silence. Then he leaned over the wheel and spat solemnly.
 "Well, of all the fools I ever seeP That was all he said.

DEPARTMENT STORES.
The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver-
 tising Plays In Their Success.

The Prominent Part That PrOfuse Adver-
 tising Plays In Their Success.
 Aside from departures in policy and innovations on a large scale, the original ity of the department store is largely supplied by two departments, to some extent correlated. These are the adver- tising department and the window dressing department One is the litera- ture of the great store, the other it's art. The shop windows are a great stimulus for the department whose goods are dis played in them. A good showing will often wonderfully increase the sale of the stock as well Rs attract customers to the store who are new to it. Frequently the head advertising man is the general manager of the store. Whether this is the case Or not, he is general supervis- or of the establishment, with a complete knowledge of its ever changing detail. Every day he holds consultations with heads of departments to find out what particular lines of articles they want boomed, and about those articles he writes alluring statements for the shop ping public to read, sometimes arrang- ing for illustrations with them.
 The amount of money spent for adver- tising is appalling when looked upon as an expense. One great store in Philadel- phia spends on an average $1, 900 every day in the year, and good many spend $500 day. The advertising receives probably more of the personal attention of the head of the Louse than any other department. The head of the firm which expends the great sum just mentioned personally suggests and frequently writes the leading lines in the daily an- nouncement. The proprietor of great store i'll Brooklyn does this invariably and thinks the time well spent which the work daily requires. The mail de- partment tends to enlarge this expendi- ture, as the store reaches out to the ut most parts of the country, and the flu ture will no doubt see an even greater development in the effort to secure mail customers in the small towns and in country places.

ON OCEANS BED.
What Becomes of Ships Which Sink t'
 the Bottom of the Sea.

 What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
 the Bottom of the Sea.
 What becomes of the ship that sinks in midocean? If it is of wood. it takes, in the first place, considerable time for it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more fathoms of water quarter of an hour will elapse before the ship reaches bot tom. Itsinks slowly, and, when the bot tom is reached, it falls gently into the soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break ing.
 Of course, if it is laden with pig iron or corresponding substances, or if it is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some times strikes the bottom with such force as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, a ship becomes the prey of the countless inhabitants of the ocean.
 They swarm over and through the great boat and make it their home. Be- sides this they cover every inch of the boat with a thick layer of lime. This takes time, of course, and when one generation dies another continues the work, until finally the ship is so laden with heavy incrustations, Corals, sponges and barnacles that, if wood, the creak- ing timbers fall apart and slowly but surely are absorbed in the waste at the sea bottom.
 Iron vessels are demolished more quickly than those of wood, which may last for centuries. The only metals that withstand the chemical action of the waves are gold and platinum, and glass also seems unaffected. No matter how long gold may be hidden ill the ocean, it will always be gold when recovered, and this fact explains the many roman tic and adventurous searches after hid den submarine treasures lost in ship wrecks.

HAS THE UMBRELLA FAD.
Chicago Man Who Carries It to Greater
 Extremes Than Most People.

Chicago Man Who Carries It to Greater
 Extremes Than Most People.
 There is a man on the North Side who has the umbrella fad It would hardly be fair to tell his name, as it was learned in confidence, and the fad might not be regarded as mere eccen- tricity by some people who have suffer- ed from it and they might be tempted to complain to the police. Again, every body who has lost an umbrella-and that means majority of the people of Chicago-would look up his address in the directory and sweep down upon him with the hope that his lost property might be in his collection.
 There are other men who have 8 weakness for taking umbrellas, but no man is known to have carried it to so great an extreme as this one. He has 8 collection numbering 400 umb1 elias of all kinds A good many of them were bought Some of theiA were borrowed from friends, with and without their permission, and others were acquired in other ways which it would be hardly polite to mention. The man is good citizen in other respects, but he is vic tim of the umbrella habit, and when he sees an umbrella he is compelled to struggle very hard to resist the tempta- tion to make himself its owner. Usual ly he yields to the temptation, and the coveted prize is transferred to his col lection.
 The umbrella collector does not make any great display of his collection. The umbrellas are piled up ill a big closet in his bedroom, and he very seldom visits it. Now and then he looks over them and counts them with satisfaction. The last time he counted them there were 398 in the closet. He has added few to his collection since that time.
 In every other way except this pas sion for umbrellas, which amounts to Q mania, the man is perfectly sane. His friends regard him as very clever man, and he holds responsible posi- tion in big wholesale house down town. But umbrellas are his weakness. He is victim of the umbrella habit just as another man might be a victim of the opium habit or morphine habit, and his relatives are in constant fear that the habit may some day get him into trouble.

THE GOLDEN STATE.
California Is Widely Celebrated, but Lit
 tie Known.

California Is Widely Celebrated, but L.l6-
 tie Known.
 In the first place, California is known not by what millions of people have seen, but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California A prorni- nent American author recently "disoov. cred" California and filled the newspa- perh with the interesting and suggestive impressions it had made upon his mind. He had been to Europe 90 times and to the Pacific coast once, which is once of- tener than many other distinguished travellers of the eastern seaboard. Still further, the Anglo-Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests, from land of heavy rainfall and from a temperate climate, where winters are long and stern, it settled in treeless deserts. in 8 land of slight and peculiar rainfall and under sky that never knows the win ter. Finally California is in it's infancy. Born in paroxysm of speculation one of the widest the world has seen it has outlived trying experience of lesser economic epilepsy and come to the threshold of it's true career strengthened and purified by the extraordinary proc ess. In less than half century several farreaching changes have swept through the industrial and social life of the state, swiftly altering the conditions of labor and of business. Even for those living in the midst of these events it has been difficult to read their significance and estimate their influence on the ultimate character of the place and people. What wonder, then, that to the outside world California has meantime appeared like tumble of gold, palms and oranges. of gilded millionaires and hopeless pau pers, of enviable farmers living luxuri- ously on small sections of paradise and of servile alien laborers herded in stifing tenements? Such are the conflicting as- poets of the Golden State to those who view it from afar.-William B. Smythe in Century.

Sanitation In ARin.

The appearance of plague at Bombay and Calcutta has produced one good effect at all events. Before it's advent those prosperous cities had come to be- lieve that they had nothing to learn in regard to sanitation. There was time when they were open to reproach in such matters as open sewers, polluted water, and what not. But by dint of liberal expenditure of money and energy they had made matters right and could even challenge comparison with Paris, Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the awful eastern scourge, after striking firm root at the western capital, flew across the peninsula to the eastern. the public became little doubtful as to whether sanitary precautions had been duly observed. First came inquiry, then dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov- cry followed discovery, each more ap- palling than the last. We refrain from giving particulars. Even to read these horrors is sickening. But still more terrible question presents itself, If the two most cultured and wealthiest cities in Hindustan are in this dreadful con- dition, what must be the state of less favored centers of population in districts where there are few whites and many blacks? Were the plague to penetrate inland, it would, we fear, find many towns only too ready for its reception. London Graphic.

Sure Cure.

"John, " said Mrs. Smythe, with an anxious touch ill her voice, ''I am wor- ried to death about Gladys. You know the child is not 15, and the way she is beginning to lace is dreadful. Every chance that comes she draws in the stays and makes a tiny waist for herself that I could put my two hands around. ;
 "What did you say to her about it?'' asked Gladys papa, yawning.
 "Say to her? Why, told her that she was injuring her constitution, de- forming her figure, laying up lifelong misery and probable surgical treatment and everything I could think of. ''
 Gladys papa laughed. 'You went about it the wrong way, my dear,' he remarked. "Just leave out all that about deformity and constitution and surgery, etc., and tell her that she is growing red nose. That will fetch her. See if it doesn't. Philadelphia Press.

You Can Have Your Exe Tattooed.

The latest discovery of scientific med ical men is that the human eye may be tattooed any color. It is now quite within the bounds of possibility for doc tors to tattoo a mans eye bright scarlet or green. Of course eyes are only tat tooed in cases where one of them is blind and has assumed in consequence a peculiar dead and ghastly appearance. An eye in this condition will entirely disfgure face, but & modern oculist may color one of these "dead" eyes and restore it to its natural appearance, SC that nothing but the closest scrutiny can detect the difference between it and its fellow.
 The operation of tattooing is perform ed by first treating the eye with cocaine until it becomes absolutely senseless tC pain. When all is ready, the part to be operated upon is covered thickly with india ink of the required color. The tat tooing is then performed by means of 8 little electrical machine which operates a specially made needle.-London An gwerS
