Grandmother at 8.

Knox county lays claim to having the youngest grandmother in the state, If not in the United States, says a Vincepnes, Ind, dispatch in the Cin- cipaati Enquirer. Her name is Mrs. Jane Burke and she is barely 38 years old. She lives at Decker's. Her daugh- ter Bertha married John Midkif two years ago. and to them a little daugh. ter was born this week. The mother of the child is not quite 15 years old. while the father is but 19. The com bined age of the father and mother is but one year older than the grand mother, and the combined ages Of the grandfather. grandmother. father and child is only 100 years, yet this repre- sents three generations.

Eat Candy.

The time is luckily gone when a woman had to have two pounds of can dy to tide her over Sunday, and she is better looking today for the exercise of common sense. A plain=spoken physician said to his anaemic patient: If you could see the inside of your stomach after eating candy you would never touch another bitr' Just after hearty dinner is the best time for candy. Then the appetite for 1t is abated, and the small amount taken mixes with the other food. Sugar, nuts, chocolate and pure fruit syrups are all well enough in their places, and that is after, not before, the eyen- ing or midday meal.

Irish Rleselghur.

At recent meeting of the Dublin Royal society a paper was read by Mir Pollok on some large deposits of kieselghur which occur on the banks of the Bann, at the point where 1t emerges from Lough Neagh. Kiesel- ghur Is used now for several industrial purposes, and although the deposit in question is apparently not suitable for making dynamite, yet it is of excep- tional purity and if found in quantity should soon find market It is stated to be in the highest degree probable that the whole bottom of the Lough Neagh is covered with similar deposit of diatomous earth, which. as is well known, is formed of the silicous re- mains of low forms of aquatic plants. Under the microscope the Bann de- posit is found to consist of little cubic box-shaped diatems.-London Chron- icle.

Holland,s Yonnr oneen.

Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither lands dislikes to be called the little queen She thinks the phrase reflects upon her Kingdom, and she is 5 feet i1h inches in height. The queen of Spain is feet 2-5 inches; the em- press of Russia, feet 23z inches: the empress of Germany and Queen Vic toria, still smaller. Aside from her height, the young Dutch queen is also of the best build Her 2115-iuch waist measure and 42-ineh bust gives an ad- mirable proportion. Her powers of endurance were well tested on coro- nation day. when for six long hours she wore the ceremonial mantle of red velvet trimmed with ermine. weight of not less than thirty pounds. and showed no marked symptoms of fa- tigue

Why sheep Have VT oi.

If you want to ask a sheep where he got his wool and why, take a dog into mountain pasture band. and if the sheep are afraid of the dog they will invariably run uphill, rather than down. You have your answer. The ancestors of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep of the present day, lived among high mountains and needed their woolly covering to protect them against the constant cold of high at mospheres. They chose the high and inhospitable region to live in because they found the fierce fesh-eating ani- mals of the plains too strong for them. A proof of these facts is that wool grows on a sheep the year 'round.- Chicago News.

SEVEN LADIES
Of One Family Arrested In Paris for
 Kleptomanis.

htSptouaHt+ +s
 Dublin Saturday Herald: A detect i've on duty at the Louvre had his at tention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of seV- en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything. After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up a colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- ereted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- diately marched off to the police com missaFy. That funetionary found to his amazement that the troup con sisted of grandmother, three of her daughters and three granddaughters in comfortable circumstances. me old lady's husband and the husbands of her three daughters were immediately sent for (the youngest ladies of this interesting family are still unmarriedt. and declared themselves totally ignor- ant of the acts of their wives, who they said made frequent trips to Paris from their home in the suburbs, and often brought home many pretty things; but they assured the commis= sary that they Ghe husbandsl had no notion that these had been come by otherwise than by the usual method of purchase. The commissaire, taking the social position of the "klepto- maniacs" into consideration, has al- lowed them their liberty upon heavy bail.

"I was never mixed up with a snug gling transaction but once in my Il1e' said a New Orleans business man.
 whose name may as well be left out
 and my experience was so painful that I sware off then and there. l had a deal in West Texas on hand at the time and had made short trip over the Mexican frontier, during which l picked up a handful of very fine opals. A wicked friend showed me how easy it was to carry them over the line with out paying tribute to Uncle Sam, and I was weak enough to yield to the temptation. When I got on the ears at Fl Paso, however, to come east to Dallas I was haunted by a guilty con- science and had a horrible premoni= ton that some secret service officer was on my track. Presently my at tention became attracted by man with 8 black beard, who kept looking at me furtively from a seat across the way. ] tried to persuade myself that 1t was all imagination, but number of things occurred during that ride that satisfied me I was really being watched. I went into the smoker, for instance, and before long caught a glimpse Of the black beared chap peer ing through the end of the window from the platform. 1t was the same in the dining ear, and, to make a long story short I reached Dallas thoroughly unstrung. That evening I began to think I had shaken the fellow off my track, when 1 happened to stroll out of the hotel, and there he was, stand ing behind a pillar. Needless to say, Fl didn't sleep q wink. and when l bumped into the sleuth next morning and saw that he had shaved off his beard l gave myself up for lost. How ever, that was the last of him, and for the balance of my stay was un- molested and gradually regained my equanimity. That the man had been shadowing me was undentable but what his purpose could have been and why he dropped the game so abrupt ly were mysteries which l was forced u leave uA5OlFS0s It W ao tWG year S before l found out Then l ran across the man one day by accident in St. Louis restaurant, and he owned up It seems that he had been a public Of feial in a small Texas town, and got mixed up in his accounts. He swore to me that it was only bad bookkeep- ing, but the grand jury indicted him for embezzlement, and he skipped un- til things ealmed down. I happened to coincide with description he had of a detective, and all his strange moves were aetuated by exactly the same mo- tive that prompted me to run-name- ly, to see whether he was Deng watch ed. We were both fooled by our fears. His affairs had since been settled up and we enjoyed d good laugh and cold bottle together But am a re- formed smuggler for lifea
