Expeusive Good Fortune.

The following story Of great find"
"a tive-dollar billiard its greater con-
sequences Is reprinted from the New
York World. 1t bears very plainly the
marks Of exaggeration, but there must
be many of our readers who will know
by their own experience that it Is based
on one Of the facts of human nature.
Paxton found five-dollar bill on the
sidewalk the other day, and If he
should find another it would probably
bring him to the poorhouse.
"Hoorayp' he said, as he damned the
bill into his vest pocket. Now I'll get
that derby hat I've wanted so long. l
saw one yesterday that this bill will
just pay for"
The bill did pay for the hat, but not
for the two-dollar pair of gloves that
went with it.
When he went home to dinner he laid
a two-pound box of Huylers best can
dy on his wife's lap, and said, with a
kiss such as he had not given her since
the days Of their honeymoon:
Guess what found to-day?"
81 couldn't, my dear"
mo, don't suppose you could. Well,
l found a five-dollar bill, and thought
l could afford to be little extravagant
on the strength of it. l paid two dollars
for that candy, box included. Then
got two Of the best seats for the thea
ter tonight, and couldn't we afford 9
little supper afterward? Bought me al
elegant new white silk necktie and thu
cutest and neatest little pearl pin, ant
if you want a new pair of evening
gloves you may have them. 1t ism
every day find fve-dollar bill"
mo, thank heaven, 1t isn't" said hi
wife to herself, and she said still NOR
: fervently when he added:
2 81 bought the loveliest bit of bric-a
r brac at an auction sale happened t
D run into. 1t was big bargain at fiv
: dollars. I'd had to pay at least eigh
' dollars for it at a regular sale. foun
e that five dollars just in time"
f "How did you happen to buy that Ii
t tie sewing-chair you sent home t
d day."
: "Oh, that? Well, heard you say tn
h other day that you wanted one whe
e we could afford it, and when l saw thu
s In window to-day with card on
). saying that 1t was only five dollars,
o thought If we couldn't afford 1t whe
e I'd just found FIVE dollars we new
e could afford it, so l ran in and boug
is It."
n And when he had bought ninet
III three dollars and sixty-four cent
worth of things with that five dollar
his anxious wife brought him to ht
by saying one evening:
O. where did you find that five-doll

which b made possible by thAs con-
centrstton Of wealth In the hands Oe
individuals.
Not long ago Columbia University
made an appeal for four uilkon dollars
TO erect new buildings. The responses
were such as to show that the loyalty
and TIE resources Of the friends Of the
institution had not been ovsrestamated.
The University Of Chicago. but a few
years old, has received gif1 % the
amount Of twelve millions. Harvard,
Yale, Princeton and other Old tnstttu-
lions record from year 30 year benefac-
tons running up into the hundreds Of
thousands. President Eliot, IN a recent
report, states that within three years
Harvard has received nearly six hun
dred thousand dollars, but that within
the same period az least five other uni
venHttes have had their endowments
increased by much larger sums.
The endowment Of universities Is, OF
course, but one Of the forms which pr
vate munifcence takes. IL Is. how
ever, in one respect particularly wis
form. The common schools may depenC
for their support upon the general feel
ing that they are necessary. No com
munity can AFFORD to be without them
But the value TO the average man o
the university Is not so palpable. tn
higher learning Is the possession Of
few; Its benefits reach the great ms
jority Indirectly through the advanc
OF science and the increase OF know
' edge.
The university, therefore, cannE
count upon an effective popular SUI
/ port. In all ages ii has had to rely ver
: largely on the patronage Of the yer
n rich. The great English untversftts
|, have owed their strength TO kings an
!. earls and bishops. In America II
II place of these titled givers is taken /

4 er or railroad builder.-Youth's Coz

VARYING Power of x-Rays.

At recent meeting Of the Royal So
ciety In London description was CIV
en- Of the change that occurs in the
penetratlve power of the X-rays in pro-
portion as the air is more and more
completely exhausted from the vacu-
um tube in which the rays are pro-
duced. At certain degree Of exhaus-
ton the rays penetrate the flesh and
show the bones of human hand in
shadow. With a greater exhaustion Of
air the flesh becomes almost perfectly
transparent, while the bones remain
opaque. With a still higher degree of
exhaustion the rays begin to penetrate
the bones; and with the highest vacu-
nm through which the electric dis
charge will pass, the bones them
selves become almost as transparent
as the flesh. Similar variations In pen
etrative power can be produced by in
creasing or decreasing the power Of
the current, or by varying the electri
cal resistance Of the tube.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works Of San
Francisco, Cal, the largest builders Of gas,
gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are
making extensive preparations for the
seasons business.
They are filling several orders for large
irngating plants and as this line Of their
business increases each season, il is safe to
say the farmers throughout the State are APP
preciating the advantages Of irrigation with
water pumped by this cheap power.
The Hercules Works are at present build
ing an 80 H. P. engine for Geo. +. Packer,
Colusa, which will raise 5000 gallons per
minute from the river and distribute it over
his land. This will be the largest gasoline
pumping plant in existence.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness reinvited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, isvery
foolish If she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

Great Heat in Tunnels.

One Of the most difficult problems
connected with the construction Of the
proposed tunnel under the Simplon
range in the Alps Is that Of keeping
down the temperature. The deeper
we go under the surface of the earth
the greater the heat becomes, and since
the new tunnel will run not much less
than 1000 feet beneath the summit Of
Monte Leone, 1t Is anticipated that the
temperature will be as high as 1O4 de-
grees Fahrenheit. During the digging
of the st. Gothard tunnel the tempera-
ture rose to IS degrees. fhe heat af-
fected the health Of the workmen,
more than half of whom were attack
ed by disease. The still more intense
heat to be encountered in the Simplon
tunnel can only be reduced by a care
full system Of ventilation.

A certain Paris photographer never

In the world he remarks: ut is I'M

Forged Her Mothers Name.

Ellen Cadman, the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. L. A. Cadman of Chattanoo-
ga, was arrested recently at the instance
Of her mother on charge of forgery.
The young lady had cashed checks to
the amount of $50 purporting to have
been signed by her mother. A friend OF
the girl, in order to save her from spend
ing the night in the city Jail, made up
the amount, and she was released. The
girl is very handsome and unusually
bright for one of her age. The mother
and daughter were later reconciled.-

Says Priests May Marry Soon.

A French ecclesiastic has written to
the London Times saying that the next
great change in the Roman Catholic
church will be the repeal of the law OF
clerical celibacy. The movement, he
thinks, might we'll start in this country,
under the lead of Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland, but will take time.
The present pope will hardly indorse 1t,
nor can the French ecclesiastics take it
up lust now. When it does come, how
ever, the writer prophesies large oyo-
dus of Anglican clergymen to Join the
church of Rome.

Seeing by Night.

Nocturnal creatures assume night
activity for some other reason than
that they cannot see by day or that
they see better by night. The bat sees
admirably In the brightest sunlight, as
any one knows who has ever teased one
by poking stick at 1t. 1t will open
its mouth and make an angry grab at
the stick, when Vt Is several inches dis
tant from It. Prof. Bodies says it Is the
same with the owl. They see perfectly
in bright sunlight, and better at night
than most creatures.

A Birds, s.. R.anrt

Naturalists consider 1t a wonderful
fact that the Bermuda Islands have
only seven native species Of Land birds,
while no less than a hundred and
twenty-eight other species pay visits
to the islands Many of these visitors
are birds which pass the summer in
the United States, and utilize the Ber-
muda Islands as a convenient winter
resort, thus initiating some of their hui
man compatriOts. Even some Ameri'
can bats follow the example Of the
birds by wintering in the Bermudas.

Captain Gerard, Of the French army,
has formed an experimental company
Of sixty men riding bicycles, and In
tended for a fighting corps on wheels.
The captain has invented a special
form Of bicycle for his men. The cross
bar is hinged, SO that the machine can
be folded and carried on the back,
when ground impracticable for wheel
Ing has to be crossed. 1t is thought
that companies trained to maneuver
on wheels may be very useful in light
skirmIshing and scouting. Each rider
carries a Lebel rife and bayonet.
