A Negro Turning White.

A curiosity rarely witnessed in this
country was seen at the Office Of the
pension examiners in this city today. 1t
was a negro man turning white. The
mans name is Sam Smith. He is 81
years old and came here today from
Georgetown to stand an examination
for a pension, he having served in the
Union army. More han three-fourths
of the mans entire body is white, the
skin fairer by far than that of the or
binary white man. The dark skin re-
manning on the body is only in small
spots. Smith says that his skin began
turning white in 1867, and the dark
skin has been disappearing from the
body ever since. The physicians who
examined him today think that should
the old man live a few years longer he
will be entirely white a v perhaps the
face. A peculiar feature of the case is
hat the face has not been farming white
along with the rest of the body, the
white only showing at a few places be-
meath the hair ON the forehead, and not
on the face at all.-Lexington (Ky.)

Owls In Chicago.

Chicago has q novel trade in owls,
the supply coming to the commission
merchants from the farmers boys in
the nearby states.
The first owl which came to Chicago
in this manrNe was sent as a venture by.
q farmer boy, who had somehow man
aged to entrap it alive. 1t proved SO I'M
expectedly successful in Kidding the
warehouse of rats and mice-having
been freed at night with the idea Of
making an experiment in this direction
that it was purchased by the man in
whose care it was resting. The freedom
from rodents which it brought induced
other commission men to look out for
owls, and from the commission firms
the idea gradually spread to the grooers,
butchers and market keepers generally
of the city. Now q large percentage of
these men keep an owl down in the cell
lar during tie daylight and bring it up
to the store when darkness falls. 1t is
said that the expense and care Of main
mining owls are more than repaid by
their services in vanquishing the rats
and mice. The owners and janitors of
the large apartment houses in the city
are also beginning to realize the value
of possessing an owl when rats, mice,
cockroaches and vermin generally are to
| be exterminated. Chicago Times-Her

BANKS PART IN FARMING.
How the Traders In Money Enable Soil
Tillers to Work.

How the traders In Money Enable Soil
Tillers to Work.
How does a bank help the farmer?
With the approach of the time for
blowing and planting, seeds and fer
tilizer will be necessary. How can the
farmer buy them if the last season was
a poor one? He has spent all of his
earnings in running the household dur
ing the long winter. He goes to the
dealer in fertilizer in the nearest viii
lage and asks, "What is the price Of
fertilizer a ton?"
FIFTY dollars, " the dealer replies.
"Well, I will need two tons, and
that will amount to $780,"
eyes. Take it along now?"
II haven't the ready cash just now,
| butt
ooh. that's all right. I know you're
| good for it. Take it along and give me
your note payable in four months. By
| that time your crops will be yielding a
profit"
The farmer gives his note; the dealer
Endorses it and gives it in payment to
the wholesaler from whom he gets the
fertilizer; the wholesaler sends it to the
manufacturer of the fertilizer, who in
turn takes it to his bank and borrows
the money on it less the interest.
The farmer gets his seed in the same
way and at the time of the expiration
of the notes is able to meet his obliga-
tons.
Thus, instead of the farmer being
compelled to wait until he can get the
cash to pay before he can buy the fer
tilizer and seed, he obtains them wher
he needs them. The dealer, instead o.
having to wait until the farmer gets the
money before he can sell his goods, sell
them in the proper season and receives
what is to him practically cash. Thu
wholesaler receives from the retaile,
what is as good as cash to him, and thu
manufacturer receives virtually casl
from the wholesaler.
How would all this be possible wer
it not that the bankers had collected tn
idle money Of other people and wer
able to lend it out to good advantage
The farm would go implanted; tn
ground would go untitled; there woul
be no crops to yield a profit.
That's where the bank helps tn
farmer. New York Press.

ACTING AFRAID OF DOGS.
1t Is the Surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.

1t Is the Surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.
1t is curious, to me wonderful, how
we'll dogs understand people. They
seem at a glance or very soon thereafter
to decide in their minds whether or not
it would be safe to assail n who en-
tiers their owners premises, says Lip
pincott's Magazine. My own opinion is
that every one Of them, big or little, Of
high or low degree, would like to bite
every stranger that he sees. Their love
for their master makes them jealous or
makes them pretend to be jealous of
everybody who approaches them, and
they debate momentarily whether or not
q conner is afraid Of them. If he is not,
they either extend a friendly salute,
which always is deceitful, or assume to
be indifferent. If he is, they give him
a bite, more or less deep, then stink
away from possible consequences.
For years and years l have followed
the rule, when visiting o person resid-
ing out of town, unless know positive

await not only my hosts invita-
ton, but his approach and his 40,
compartment into his house. 1 could
not tell the number of times wherein
have been barked at furiously from the
inside by dogs whose owners declared
that in all their lives they had nevel
done such a thing before to a man O
genteel appearance.

Picking Pockets With Toes.

The gauchos, or jewellers in the ex-
tensive plains Of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both hands
and feet. Many of them have acquired
through long practice such skill in
using their toes as if they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time ago
a Frenchman who was fishing in one Of
the rivers Of Buenos Ayres was warned
to be on his guard against the light fin
gered natives. He forthwith kept a Wig
liant watch on his companions, but
nevertheless one day, when his attention
was closely riveted on his float, a willy
gaucho drew near, and, delicately in
sorting his foot, extracted the French
mans hooks and other va~luables from
his pocket. Boston Transcript.

More of the Metal Goes Into Them Than
Can BE Got Out.
An example of some of the queer ex-
periences people have when they are
called upon to buy a thing with which
they are not familiar and which they
have need of only on rare and unusual
occasions is thus set forth by the Mil
waukee Sentinel:
A young woman who worked as a
domestic went to a dentist to get her
teeth repaired. He repaired them and
sent a bill of $50. He justified himself
for the charges by explaining how
much the filings cost him. In one hol-
low tooth, he said, he put $40 worth of
gold. The bill was paid, and recently,
when the little nugget (said to be worth
500 came out, the woman took it to a
goldsmith and had it appraised. He
| weighed it scrupulously and valued it
| at AZ cents. She no longer has faith in
her dentist.
1t seems to be always good taste tc
Ego shopping among the dentists be.
fore having any considerable amount OF
work done. There is considerable hum
buggery about the business in SOM
quarters. The public is told that $50 il
a fair price for q crown and stands
ready to pay it, on the ground thai
good work deserves good pay. A few
blocks away the same work was done
last week for So, just as well as if $1i
had been paid, and it was done by
reputable dentist. One dentist figured
on $50 for six teeth, and another 20t
yards away performed the service fo
