Jupiter's Nearest Moon,

One Of the queerest of the heavenly

moon, it is really two, and they float.

that it may be possible to have arrang.

in two parts, there must be light belt
around it. which is very much like that

Gives the Fog Signal.

At the Portland (Me.J Head light
house is a government servant whose
name is not on the pay roll, but who
is as faithful as any lighthouse-keep-
er in the country. This interesting
member of the service is large gray
parrot that has learned to mock the
signals of the lighthouse man. 1t was
brought from Africa a short time ago
and soon learned that the keeper would
cry. "Fog coming; blow the horn! !"
when the fog began to blow in from
the ocean. Ever after that, the parrot
gave the warning whenever the fog be-
gan to appear, and recently it gave
the signal before the lighthouse men
noticed that the fog was upon them.

Something About Stamps.

This is year of new postal stamps.
Several European nations and the
United States are introducing new is
sues that will delight the hearts of col
lectors. So accustomed are we to US
ing stamps of small denominations
that we quite overlook the fact that
thousands of 81, So and SIS stamps are
used every month. These are used on
registered letters carrying valuable
papers. During the last few months
millions of dollars worth Of American
securities have been sent abroad, most
of them being sent by registered mail,
the postage often amounting to $50 a
package. In case of similar shipments
from England 1O-shilling, 1-pound and
even 5-pound (nearly $3.50 stamps are
used. You may be sure that these
stamps are valuable even after they
are Cancelled, for collectors sometimes
pay as much as one-half the face value
for the Cancelled stamps.

Mounting Photographs.

Amateur photographers are often SO
situated that they must mount their
own prints or leave them scattered
about exposed to the danger Of getting
lost, torn or disfguTed. The proper
paste for mounting them is supposed
to be unobtainable, save through ex-
pert hands, and for this reason many
valuable and interesting prints are
wasted. The very best paste for mount
ing prints is made from ordinary laun-
dry starch, not the sort that comes in
packages and is recommended for
CLOSING, but the common kind. Put
heaping teaspoonful Of this in q tin
vessel, pour on a very little cold water
to dissolve it, then add water enough
to make it quite thin. Have ready
little boiling water, then stir this into
the starch paste until the mixture first
grows milky-looking, then transparent
and thick. Allow this to stand until
it is cool and use at once as a paste
for mounting prints. Apply with a
rather thin, fat brush. Do not use any
more than is required to coat the paper,
and be specially careful to leave no
Jumps or puddIes on the surface. Lift
the print carefully and place it on the
card in precisely the position required.
Commence at one edge and gently press
the print with a paper cutter, or, for
lack Of that, a silver knife. This will
remove all air bubbles and cause the
print to adhere firmly to the card. Some
paper requires rolling and furnishing;
this may be done at any time. but it is
better to use paper than does not need

the cupboard wherein she kept the sun

she presently poured into her hand a

became aware of the child's restless

Whore Money L. Useless.


When Uncle Sam takes possession
of the Philippine islands he may find
it difficult to produce American cur
rency and coin or any other money
medium of exchange for the use of the
natives in transacting their business.
The man in the Philippines who uses
coin is looked upon as queer by the
natives. They treat money with con-
tempt, call it vaiueless stuff, and en-
gage in barter solely in transacting
their local business. Hardly any Of
the natives of the rural districts know
what money is, and it is looked upon
with the gravest suspicion.
In Manila and the more civilized por-
tons of the island of Luzon Mexican
dollars, Spanish pesetas and copper
coins compose the currency Of ex-
change, In transactions of over 81 in
value, however, the Chit" or promise
to pay in ten days, is usually used.
Only the chits of well-known persons
are acceptable, and these pass cur
rent everywhere. When a man has
chits of one person which amount to a
considerable sum of money he presents
them to the signer of the chits and
that man gives him bag Of silver or a
keg Of copper money in exchange for
the paper.

Treasure in Old Bottles.

shelves of corner cupboards, are fair
~ sWarming with great piles of disused
bottles which any enterprising boy or
girl can turn to a good penny by dis
posing Of them to a dealer in old bot
Ties, just as there are dealers in second
hand everything else. The prices re-
ceiVed for them, of course, will not be
fabulous, still, considering how little
trouble there is in collecting them,
you will be paid for your work. The
rate OF payment for old bottles varies
from half a cent to 5 cents each. Bot
Ties containing cordials or liquors, such
as ale, porter, pop, beer and the like,
are the most valuable, because the
most in demand. Horseradish, mus
tard, matted milk and all bottles Of
mat class bring up a close second.
regular medicine bottles used for put
ting up prescriptions cannot be sold
at all, for even in the cleaning process
to which they are afterward subjected,
there may be some germs clinging
which will render them unfit for fur
ther use. This class, however, does
not include the pectoral and tonic bot
Ties, which, although the contents are
patent medicine, are always in de-
mand. Even broken bottles Of the
pickle, jam and other harmless varie-
Ties can be disposed of at a very small
proht' for they can be sold to a glass
manufacturer and remelted and re-
nodded into new bottles. There are a
number of these dealers in second
aand bottles in the city, and If you live
IN a bottle district it might be well to
make the bottle man a call.
