Men who make application for insurance
in considerable amounts, say for upward OF
$40, 600, are not only very carefully exam
ined by physicians appointed by the in
surancc companies, but during the period
while their application is being examined
are kept under surveillance by well or
ganized detective service. Some of tho re-
ports which are made of mans habits and
mode of life, with perhaps some of his pct
secrets, as made to the detective bureaus
of the different companies, would prove
mighty interesting reading. OF course such
matters can never become public property,
and, In fact, the records are destroyed as
soon as the application is passed upon.
This fact, which Is not generally known,
may explain much to solid citizens WHO,
for some unknown reason, have had their
applications postponed indefinitely. The
insurance companies are entirely justified
In employing such an instrument to learn
the facts about their risk. Men who live
nationally, like men who fill positions OF
trust honestly, have nothing to fear from
being watchcd.-New York Press.

the civil service. told him to go and take
the examination, and then I'd fix him.
He came out fourth oil the list as 1t was
returned to me.
Il looked over the returns. The first
man had been a little lame on spelling. j
objected to him. He would never do. The
second could spell all right, but was lit

him. The third wrote like copper plate

CLEVER FRENCH PoTTERS.
They Initiate the China of All the More
Famous Makers.

Entering china shop recently, l asked
the dealer the price of a small and very
beautiful piece of Delft which had attract
ed my eyes for weeks whenever i happen
ed to pass the window. Knowing it must
be very expensive, had so far resisted the
temptation. Much to my surprise, the
dealer named very moderate price.
1T is not Holland Delft, you know,
he said. 1.-The same piece in Holland
Delft would cost twice that at least.
well, what is it then If not Holland
Delft l asked. Ito be Delft 1t must be
made in the Holland potteries."
THAT Is no longer true, said the deal
er, smiling. Strictly speaking this is
not Delft, for it was made in France. AT
the same time we call it Delft, and even
an expert OF the first order would find 1t
difficult to distinguish it from the genuine
article except by the mark of the pottery
on the back To all purposes, artistic and
otherwise il is Delft. Now, here Is n
piece of real Holland Delft, and l will
wager you anything you like you cannot
tell tho difference.
This was true, though the pottery
marks were different. The dealer went on:
Modern French potters are the clever
est imitators in the world, and of late
years it is next to impossible to distin-
guish their limitations of famous Dutch
and German and even English wares from
originals except by the marks You can
always depend on the marks, for the
French seek TO initiate, not to dcfraud.
"Ther industry and cleverness, however,
are in certain sense unfortunate, not
withstanding the excellence of their wares,
for they make famous elazos and patterns
cheap and common and thus lessen the
value of originals.
1.-THE many potterics at Limoges and
elsew here In France, besides making in
Vulnerable original creations of wonderful
beauty, initiate about every other well
known china In the world.
Here is the flower pattern of the Royal
Dresden, for instance. The time was when
great prices were charged for that Dresden
ware. The pattern was found in royal
palaces and the homes of the wealthy al
most exclusively. But nowadays the
Limoges potterics turn ont this pattern in
thousand forms and shapes till IL Is be-
coming one of the commonest on the mar
ket. "-Exchange.

ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.
The Strange Element Outgrows the
knowledge of Proficients.

Not little trouble is experienced today
by even the most thorough electricians In
keeping up with the advance of the art
and its theory, and many of them COM
plain of the inadequacy of their time to
master the current literature of electricity
that is of value. Various schemes Of in
dexing and digesting are proposed, but
they all fail dismally when brought to
bear on what was written and done in the
time when electricity was really in its in
fancy. In other words, it Is estimated that
the articles and publications of value on
electricity since the beginning Of the cell
fury would make some 80, 900 titles, and
Ii Is claimed, with some show of reason,
that this mass of record is more worthy of
indexing than that which Is now being
put together in current electrical books
and journals.
One of the most common and annoying
things in electrical invention in the dig
eing up of some one who has done 1t be-
fore. Every late electrical discovery and
apparatus has been more or less anticipat-
ed, 1t would sometimes seem, but it is
not until the inventor and his hackers
have spent large sums of money and much
time that they find out how narrow and
limited is the patent they can secure. Of
ten, too, line of investigation is engaged
in at great expense which some other I'M
fortunate has already traversed, leaving
behind him copious though buried story
of his failures; hence it is asserted that If
the electrical literature of the past 90 or
rs years were digested millions of money
and much time would be saved, several
POPULATIONS would be lowered and others
made, and that there would be revealed
fields of work deserving to be followed up
from the point at which the effort was
abandoned when conditions were less ia
yorable. New York Advertiser.

In the Wrong Place.

A well known young broker recently
wrote a notclet to popular society belle.
inclosing a number of tender phrases ami
concluding with a Latin quotation. With
his usual modesty tho young broker added
this postscript, "See back Of Webster"
and placed an asterisk both at the end of
the foreign phrase and the beginning OF
the postscript 10 indicate that there were
others who had used the quotation before.
A few days later he received sweetly
scented missivc, which went on to say:
Dear Bernardo received your very vel
come letter and read 1t very carefully. In
obedience to your directions, looked all
through the back of Webster's Dictionary
but couldn't find anything anywhere u.
the horrid old volume to tell me what that
funny little mark meant"
She had imagined that he had invited
her to seek the meaning of the asterisk in
stead of the quotation.-St. Louis Post

u Is Widespread and Brings the Govern
ment e1O.0OO,OOO = Year.

In Italy there are many highly moral
laws against gambling but the govern
mcnt Is responsible for a system OF state lot
tcries which encourages widespread gam
bling among the people.
The published statistics show average
receipts Of over $40, 900, 900 year
Every Saturday afternoon the lottery Is
drawn In the eight principal towns OF
Italy, and there arc government lottery
offices in every town and village, where
tickets may be taken for any of the eight
lotteries In the kingdom. A village may
be too small TO have a postofiicc, but 1t
will be pretty sure to have a lottery office.
The method Of stalking in the lottery Is
to select from one To four numbers and to
stake what you please upon them at the
nearest lottery Office.
You may bet on one number, and IL IL is
one of the five drawn in the lottery you
receive IL y times your stake. Or you may
bet that it will be drawn either first, sec
ond, third, fourth or fifth In the order Of
drawing. In this case you get GO times
your stake IL you win.
Another plan Is TO take two numbers
and back what Is called the ambo If both
your numbers come out among the five,
you get 800 times your stake. III you
choose three numbers, which is called n
terno, and they all come out, you win
5000 times your stake
If you back four numbers called qua
derno, you win go, 900 times your stake.
The method most In vogue among the
peasants is 10 take three numbers and in
vest small sum on the terno and on
each Of tho ambos contained in Ii. "A
peasants weekly investment ranges be-
tween cents and 10 cents. AS little as
four-flfths of a cent may be stakcd.
All kinds of omens are consulted to ar
rive ut the lucky numbers. Dreams are
great favorites, and inspirations are drawn
from any great national event.
For instance, when Victor Emmanuel
lied, the tip was to play the number OF
his age. the number of the year of his
birth and the number of the day of the
month on which he died. Thousands OF
people backed this terno, aud, oddly
enough, it actually came out
| A few weeks late Pope Pies TX died
| The same game was played on the mum

OF course the government lost grea

tional impulse given to the gambling b,

1.-THE best, sir, are made about 81 miles

steel in the French rings is any better than
that used by the Sheffield manufacturers,
but the Frenchmen in this, as In so many
other things, have got the hang of making
their things look we'll The Sheffield rings
are polished with oil and emery, and that
gives them dull, steely look, while the
French rings are polished by the dry proc

he replied, "were three-sixteenths of an
inch across. They are gilded when they
reach this country and are used in cheap
jewelry. The largest keyrings / ever sold
were ~ inches in diameter, and those /

they are called prison rings. That keyring
with the two little knobs, or bosses,
through which you slip the ring is also of
French manufacture, and indeed l have
never seen any American keyring, except
that clumsy little thing, where you have
to move around small round double plate
with notch in it, and then spring out the
open end of the ring through this notch.
