Don't BE q Crank.

No successful man is crank. Look
over the cranks of your acquaintance
and you will be surprised to notice
that not one of them does anything
well. They are not prominent citi-
zens; they do nothing for the general
good. A crank who is lawyer is not
good lawyer; a crank is usually
crank because he is failure. After
demonstrating that he lacks ordinary
common sense a crank pretendS that
he knows everything and that other
people do not know anything; that So
ciety has learned nothing from expe-
rience, and that the world should be
turned upside down to accept some Of
his untried theories. If you can avoid
being a crank you'd better do it. You
can't succeed as a crank at anything

Stanley's Cat.

AS the bonds of friendship are
strengthened by a heavy affliction so
does a prolonged sojourn in foreign
places, amid strange scenes, turn the
most common of everyday sights at
home into luxuries. A magazine tells
story of Henry M. Stanley, who, af-
ter his return from Africa, was busily
engaged in writing his story Of the
Dark Continent" He used to spread
his reference maps upon the floor OF
his room, and on this particular day
after searching in his near neighbOr-
hood for chart which he much need
ed, he spoke to his assistant, who pres
emily deserted it, near the fireside, with
Stanley'S favorite cat upon it asleep.
He started to turn the intruder off,
when the great man interrupted him,
saying: Never mind-don't disturb
the cat. I'll get along without the chart
until the cat wakes up. II you only
knew how good the sight of that do
nestle cat, curled up in front of that
bright English fire, is to me you would
never chase her away" The cat slum-
bered on, and not until she arose with
q lazy yawn, scratching her front nails
on the rug as she stretched, did the
famous explorer reach for his map.

The New York Ledger is just as
good a paper today as it ever was.
This is saying a great deal for it, for
it has always held considerable lead
over its rivals in the story, department
and miscellany field. Besides, the ten
dency of latter year journalism has
not been toward the highest ideal. The
era of sensationalism and license swept
nearly all the good old papers of our
younger days from their moorings. The
Ledger stands almost alone unsmirch-
ed by the deplorable era of journalistic
depravity which, we hope, is nearing
its end. 1t is just closing its fifty
third year of existence. The country
has profted by 1.-THE National DEM
ocrat.

New Signaling Device.

The signal corps of the United States
army now operates about S02 miles of
military telegraphs. The most nota-
BILE advance of the year in its system
has been the adoption of combina-
ton telegraph and telephone appara-
tus. which only weighs sixteen pounds,
and consequently can easily be carried
by one soldier. With this apparatus
one soldier can telegraph a message TO
another, while a telephone converse
ton with another station can be stimuli
taneously carried on, the distant Oper-
ators only receiving the messages in
tended for each.

Swedish Female Shylock,

Stockholm has a female usurer and
she is the worst usurer in the capital.
Her victims are chiefly cadets at the
army and naval academies, whose
pocket money gives out long time be-
fore the next remittance can be ex-
pected. She lives in an elegant resi-
dence, and to glass of champagne
she generally succeeds in persuading
her young clients to sign papa's or
uncle'S name to the note-merely as d
matter of form. AS a rule, papa or
uncle has passed through the naval or
army academy when a young man and
knows the mademOiselle from the days
he sowed his wild oats-consequently
the drafts or notes do not go to pro
test.

When Cats Were Scarce.

Down to as late as the middle ages
cats were comparatively scarce in Eu-
rope, and were so highly priced that
any person who killed one was obliged
to pay a fine. This penalty some
times was required to be paid in the
shape of a pile OF wheat big enough
to cover the slain animal when it was
held vertically by the tip of it's tail,
the nose touching the ground.
