NAMES FOR MONEY.
This Year 1t Is OIL and "Let the Oil
Trickle" Is Saying That Is
Heard in the Land.

To Artemus Ward is attributed the
saying that there are many men In the
United States who never seem to have
any money, there does not seem to be
any men In the United States who
haven't name for money, and the less
money man has the more names he
uses. Many colloqaial names for
money, if not indeed majority Of
them, have their origin among gam
blers, or at least card. players and other
individuals who delight to be described
in the newspapers as members Of the
sporting fraternity" says the New
York Sun. Last summer the name very
generally in use for money was the
word "cush;" the summer before the
word phrase in most general use was
''the long green" Prior to that such
nouns were frequently In use as
dough-" sugar" stamps" "the
ready" "dust," 1.-THE old stuff" ''the
price" "the coin," and "spondulex."
This year the favorite seems to be
''the oil" and what has come to be o
familiar expression is ''let the oil
trickie," which is latter-day version
of the old familiar advice, put up or
shut up" When one such expression
is fairly started on it's way to popular
ity it remains in use for usually q year,
or until superseded by one more de-
scriptive or having at least better
claims to acceptance as verbal novel
ty. Oil has one marked point of re-
senlblance to money. 1t is hard to hold.

"But II is not only the languages

Gore on the life Of Queen Wilhelmina
of Holland, In Ladies' Home Journal;
there were literature, science, music
and all the subjects that demand the
attention of a person seeking the high
est culture. She rose at seven o'clock,
had breakfast at eight, and work be-
gan at nine. Her general education
had been intrusted to DR.. Salverda de
Grave, while the court chaplain gave
her religious instruction. and special
masters were called In for lessons along
their chosen lines of work. Those who
taught must be in the room assigned
a few minutes before the hour. On the
stroke of the clock she entered, and at
once began the recitation in hand. If

HAD HEARD OF CLEVELAND.
NewsbOy's RespOnHe to Worthy
Clergyman's Well-Meant
Advances.

Rev. Ward Beecher Pickard, Of Ep.
worth Memorial church, while on his
vacation in the east, has been writ
ing series of interesting letters to
the Sunday school. In his last he
told of an incident in Boston, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
He was walking along the common
cne morning and stopped to buy a
paper from bright-faced newsboy.
Have you ever heard of a place
out west called Cleveland?" he asked
the boy.
"Sure. That where you belongs
came the quick reply.
YES" my little man." said Mr.. Pick
ard. "But what do you know about
Cleveland?"
II know it's out on Lake Erie and
youse got a dondy baseball club.
They're crowding our boys too close
for comfort, and that's no joke,
either"
Whether the dignified pastor of one
of Cleveland's most prominent churches
was pleased or not his letter did not
say, but he asked the boy how old
he was and paid for his paper, saying:
There 1re 10 pennies, one for each
year. If yo>i grow up to be as good
u man as you are bright now you'll
be all right"
"1've been told that BEFORE" was
the parting response from the little
chap as the preacher moved on.

MAMMOTH STURGEON.
Capturing Half-Ton Fishes Is q Maa-
ter of Common Occurrence An
British Colu m bin.

1 saw sturgeon in Victoria, on the
cannery floor, measuring IL feet by the
tape and weighing more than 600
pounds. Anyone wishing to deceive the
public by aid of prevaricating cam
era should pose beside this 12-foot fish.
The men who skillfully and laboriously
reduced 1t to sections with an ak said
it was not an uncommon fish, though
the biggest on the, floor; that they
often found them far larger, and weigh
ing as much as 1900 pounds, says the
Toronto Globe.
Two men lifting half-ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature Of
sturgeon fishing. The sturgeon, If not
fastened in his thick hide, Is apt to re-
sent it. He shakes his head in en-
phatic dissent; and head three feet
long and as big as log, when vigorous
" shaken by half-ton body, is thing
to be avoided. The tail, too, is source
of danger, for it not only slaps with en-
crgy, but can cover a large surface
with one application. The man new at
the business is apt to get hurt the first
time he helps 10 coax wriggling stur-
eeon of standard size over the gun
vale.
On the floor of the cannery it is q
great inert mass of flesh. The first op-
Grafton of the butcher is to chop off
the head and tail with an ak, and for
these free, gifts of nature the Indian
and Chinaman are eagerly waiting at
the door. The ,fns are cut off with n
knife, and these are not allowed to go
to waste. AS the refuse is shoveled
along the planks to the river there is
little allowed to pass the coast native
and his cousin with the braided hair,
Cinnamon potter around the place and
help to clear away the refuse for the
sake of what they can CLEAN, and have
weakness for taking parts not in
tended for the river. When such Mon
golian tricks are discovered the China
men are all driven out with more noise
than ceremony, but they take their ex-
pulsion with oriental Indifference and
in few minutes are all back again.

FAMOUS TREE DESTROYED.
Murofs Lime Mt Leipzig Was Lately
Blown Down in a Violent
WindstOrm.

Murat's lime tree on the battlefield
of Leipzig has fallen victim to rio
lent storm. The tree which witnessed
such terrible carnage was already, ac-
cordlng to popular belief. 200 years old
and more when the three-days' battle
was fought, says the Pail Mall Ga
zettc. Perhaps it drew new strength
from soil enriched by the countless
dead; perhaps, like proud Eolingbroke.
"blood watered it to make 1t grow"
In any case, it has survived for four
score years the great event in its his
tory, and now lies PROSTATE on the bat
tlefield-the last fallen in the battle of
giants. The tree has sometimes been
called Napoleon's lime, and the legion
has been told that the leader In the bat
tie Of nations used It as watch tower
at critical period of the fight. But,
according 10 authentic evidence. 1t was
not Napoleon, but Murat. who made it
famous. The great captain of squad
rons, who headed the veterans of Spain,
seems to have climbed into it's branches
and established his observatory here on
the morning of October Is. 1913, and
here for some time he remained, until
an obtrusiye cannon ball passed through
the branches and drove the bird from
its nest. 1t is n grand old veteran,
grand even In death. It's trunk is 90
meters high and one meter and half
in diameter; it has several times been
struck by lightning, and it is at last
overthrown by tempest. Near it is the
uncovered monument to the French
who fell, whose epitaph it may justly
share: "Let none disturb their rest"

FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE.

Remember that no woman can be
lovely with poor complexion, nor will
cosmetics, however fine and expensive,
delude the observer in the searching
light of day, cautions the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The secret of a
clear, beautiful complexion is perfect
digestion. and in summer, especially,
light diet is sufficient for the indolent
lives led by most of us during the heat

milk, clear soup, whole wheat and rye

very tired and warm. Take time to

YOUNG GIRLS HEALTH.
Mrs, 8. II. ROrer Gives Some Directions
Regarding Her Dress, Diver
siOns and Diet.

"a young girl should be taught to
carry her body erect, holding her alb
domen in, and putting the ball of her
foot first on the ground" writes Mrs.
s. T. Rorer on 1.-THE Best Diet for
Bloodless Girls" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "This is of the utmost impor-
tance to keep the organs in good posi-
ton. Theclothing should be loose, light,
warm and suspended from the Shout
ders. Skirts should be made of light
material-either wool or silk. The
stockings fastened to the waist by
means Of supporters; the one skirt worn
buttoned to the bottom of the waist,
with an outside dress supported from
the shoulders, should form the neces-
sary clothing. The shoes should be
made to fit the feet, with broad soles
and low, broad heels. Gloves should be
sufficiently loose not to stop the circula-
ton at the wrists. A short walk each day
may be taken, but fatigue should never
be produced; far better to spend most
of the day out-of-doors in the hammock
or steamer-chair.
"Early to bed should be the first
motto. In the morning, after a sponge
bath with thorough rub, she should
drink half glass of comfortably hot
water. When appetite is felt a soft
boiled egg, O piece of whole wheat
bread thoroughly baked and well but
tered, and little while after glass
of cool water, not iced, may be taken.
The monday meal should consist of
a good, clear beef soup, broiled steak
or roasted beef, little boiled rice, q
lettuce salad with olive oil dressing,
and some simple dessert, such as
whipped or Bavarian cream. After
dinner, rest should be taken in the
open air, either in the hammock or
steamer-chair, and without reading or
heavy mental occupation. For supper,
beef.or mutton broiled, and good whole
wheat bread well buttcred. At the
close of this meal she should take
slowly about two teaspoonfuls of olive
oil and masticate it before swallow

teer Transport for Ducks
Adopted Babies.

The following remarkable instance
of the communication of ideas among
the lower animals is narrated by Rev.
C. Otway, says the New York Wit
ness:
"At the -four mills of Tubberakeena,
near Clonmel, while in the possession
of Mr.. Newbold, there was q goose,
which, by some accident, was left soli-
tary, without mate or offspring,
gander or goslings. Now, 1t happened,
as is common, that the miller's wife
had set number of duck eggs under a
hen, which, in due time, were incu-
bated; and of course the ducklings, as
soon as they came forth, ran with
natural instinct to the water, and the

Leave them to my care she swan up
and down with the ducklings, and
when they were tired with their
aquatic excursion, she consigned
them to the care Of the hen.
1.-THE next morning down came again
the ducklings to the pond, and there
was the goose waiting for them, and
there stood the hen in her great f1us-
tration. On this occasion we are not
at all sure that the goose invited the
hen, observing her maternal trouble,
but it is fact that she being near the
shore, the hen jumped on her back, and
there sat, the ducklings swimming and
the goose and hen after them, up and
down the pond.
This was not solitary event; day
after day the hen was seen on board
the goose, attending the ducklings
up and down In perfect contentedness
and good humor-numbers of people
coming to witness. which continued
until the ducklings, coming to days of
discretion. required no longer the joint

JEWELS In THEIR TEETH.
h Recent Extravagant "Novclty"
Found to BE Over Three Thou
snnd Years of Age.

The New York soubrette who last
summer sought &C. tain class.of adver-
Using or notoriety BY having several
flashing Jewels set in her front teeth,
will be panied to learn that she has
achieved nothing new; that, in fact, her
little stunt" was quite common over
1900 years ago, says the New York
journal.
In the recent explorations of Cojan,
''The Mysterious City of Honduras, by
George Byron Gordon, many ancient
tombs were opened. The location of
these was strange and unexpected
beneath the foundations of courtyards
and under the foundations of houses.
They consist of small chambers of very
excellent masonry, rooted, sometimes
by means of the horizontal arch and
sometimes by means of slabs of stone
resting on the top of the vertical walls.
In these tombs one, and sometimes
two, interments have been made. The
bodies have been laid at full length
upon the floor. The cerements had
long since nodded away, and the slele-
condition and give little knowledge of
the physical characteristics of the peo-
pie, but one fact Of surprising inter-
est came to light concerning their pri-
vate lives, namely, the custom of adorn-
ing their front teeth with gems inlaid
in the enamel and by filling.
Although not all of the sets found
have been treated in this way, there
are enough to show that the practice
was general, at least among the upper
classes, for all the tombs opened, from
their associations with prominent
houses, seemed to have belonged to
people of rank and fortune The stone
used In the inlaying was bright green
jadeite. A circular cavity about one
sixteenth of an inch in diameter was
drilled in the enamel of each of the two
front teeth of the upper row, and inlaid
with little disc of jadeite cut into u
perfect fit and secured by means of q
bright red cement.

MAKE YOUR OWN FILTER.
there Is No Excuse for Drinking
Water Which Is Full of Germs
and Impurities.

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that at this time of the year it is the
height of folly to drink water that has
not been previously purified in some
way, either by boiling or byfiltration.
Boiling is an effective way of freeing
the water from impurities, and should
certainly be done where no better
method exists, but useful filter can
be made so easily at home, at an al
most nominal cost, that there is scarce
-ly any excuse for household not pos
sessing one.
The homemade filter consists sim
ply of an ordinary decanter, lamp
glass, such as can be purchased any
where for few cents, by way of fun
mel, and u piece of sponge or cotton
wool. Some people prefer cotton wool
because it can be thrown away after
a time and renewed at nominal cost.
If a sponge is chosen it ought to be
taken out often, cleaned In hot salt
water and afterward rinsed in cold.
The sponge or cotton wool is placed
for the distance of an inch In the lamp
shade. This is then covered by layer
of fine white sand, which has been
washed very clean, and placed in fine
lawn bag. This must be. packed
through the top of the glass, and
spread out to fit across by the aid of
a long pencil or a skewer.
On top of the sand must be placed n
layer of animal charcoal which has
been previously thoroughly washed by
putting it in an earthen vessel and
pouring boiling water upon it. This
