A Case of F.mais rmperson.rIon

A remarkable case of female im- personation has (according to a Paris eorrespondent9 just been discovered. A Brittany peasant girl calling herself Anna Fervac, was engaged as a ser. want by M. Lefebvre, shopkeeper in the Saint Lambert district. She declar- ed that she had sold her hair to a bar Der at Morlaix to pay her fare to Paris, The young servant appeared honest and industrious, but eventually Ma dame Lefebvre, who was frightened at her strange behavior, informed her husband. It then turned out that the pseudo bonne was a lad of seventeen who had escaped from prison, and had donned female garb to escape detec- tion. He had betrayed himself by falling in love with his mistress.

Horse Eats Its Owner. Money.

Jacob w. Whitehead, storekeeper of New Paris, Ind, is short s65 in cur rency and his horse has risen in value. Whitehead went home late and climbed rhe stairs of the barn to throw down hay to the family nag Tn his pocket he had a pocketbook contain ing five ten-dollar bills, one five and ten ones. This dropped from his pocket as he bent over to pick up the hay. Whitehead did not miss the money until the next morning. He then searches the barn, and found 3 few fragments of the pocketbook, to- gether with tiny bits of the bills. The faithful animal had devoured the hay and valorously tackled the pocket book and contents, leaving nothing with which Whitehead could make proof of his loss at the treasury.--C Chic eago Inter Ocean.

4 Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in progress at Kansas City, Kan, brought by s. K. Howe against the Armour Packing company, to recover fourteen acres of river front occupied by the packing houses. The old man tells veritable Robinson Crusoe story. Many years ago he took up his abode on a little island in the Missouri river, living in hut with a dog and few fowls for the domain, and no one questioned the fact. Finally the stream changed it's course, and what was an island became valuable river front, and the Armour company forced him off.

His Face Not His Fortune.

On one of the northern lines there was an old gentleman who had trav- eled between the same stations for years, and was consequently known sy all the porters at the stations. As he used season. he very seldom carried his ticket. One day an in speetor who was new to the district. was examining all tickets. Going up to the old gentleman, he said: Trick ct. sir. please?"

An rxtra ordinary Occurrence.
An extraordinary occurrence was T

An extraordinary occurrence was re- ported In Leicester, England, recently. Special intercession services for sol- diers fighting in South Africa are be- ing held daily in Broughton Astley church. While the bell was being rung. however, and the congregation enter ing the church, a strange visitor ar rived. It appeared that the Atherstone hounds had met at Ullesthorpe. found two. foxes at F'rolesworth Gorse, and followed one across the fields to Broughton Astley. Here the fox, being hard pressed, and seeing the church door open, sought sanctuary there, but the hounds, being close to his heels, followed him into the church, caught him, and there and then dispatched him.
 An International Complication.
 From Pagny-surM Moselle comes news of an international complication which was happily resolved without the spilling Of blood When the train which was bound for Metz drew into the station whence it should pass into German control, it was found that one of the carriages contained, conspicu~ ously pasted, a caricature Of the Kaiser, painted with an insulting le. gend. The German guard refused to have anything to do with such train. Now you cannot find a train, and to immure it in fortress is poor satis- faction. But you can cut off it's en- zine. And that the German guard threatened to do if the insult were not wiped out. It was wiped out, not by blood, but by hot water applied by carriage-cleaner.
 Playing Cards,
 The amount of playing cards used in the world is something won lures great quantities, and also imports many for use. Germany possesses thirty=four playing-card factories. which last year produced 5,260,000 packs. Of this quantity 4,987, 900 went into circulation, paying duty of l. those exported. of which large part come to this country.
 Denied Change of Name. 4 Paterson, N. J., ieweler named Rabinowitz made application to the court to have his name changed to Robinson because an insurance com pany refused to do business with him. The company informed him that it's ilax 1si II 11 sure the property of persons whose names ended with "itz." The lower court did not think this a good reason for changing the name and the state supreme court has been appealed to.

ODD REASONS
Given for Advising People to stb
 Stamps on Straight.

Stamps Straight.
 N New York Tribune: Did you eve happen to think said A. V. Rawdon of Kansas City, at the Gilsey house. of how much better it would be if people would affix stamps neatly and in an upright position upon their let ters, instead of in the helter-skelter manner which is generally prevalent? Besides, is it treating in fitting manner tl-e memory of those great ones in the history of the republic whose features are held in living memory by means of the post? The father of his country has not come down to us historically as one 6lsely to enter the presence of l5sY a4 lis nose, or, even when car fyih2 H9I a notification that your bank aceoE.- $ overdrawn, to do so while skating along on his left eyebrow. Do you think that he who wrote the say Ing Of Poor Richard and drew up the Articles of Confederation for the Al. bany convention would stand on his head, even were he conscious that it was his lot to carry around patent medicine advertisements and book no tices? Would the conqueror of Appo- mattox, after his wonderful trip around the world, rest easy if he knew he was repeating that triumphal progress every day and entering the uttermost corners of the earth on his ear, his eye, or fiat on his back? Or, again, is it befitting that the stern and rugged eonqueror Of New Orleans and uncom- promising opponent of the United , States bank should enter your pres ence upon his right or left side? I shudder even to think of him as stand ing on his head, on account of the agony this position would cause him, due to his spike-like hair. By all means, stick your stamps on straignG. It looks better and, besides, pays more fitting tribute to the nations dead"
 Waited for One Cont Change.
 s.I never felt so cheap in all my life,'' said Short, ..as I did one day in de- partment store. I bought book for 99 cents and while I was waiting for it a young woman, whose good opinion I valued, came up and we began to talk 2 The book was wrapped up and handed to me by the girl at the counter and after a short while the young woman asked: Are you waiting for your changer 1 replied that was, but, i'll fact, ] hadn't been thinking of it. wanted to talk to her and made that an excuse for staying. After the usua: delay, when it had passed entirely out of my mind, the girl at the book coun- ter stepped up and said: Here's your change, sir And she held a bright new cent in her open hand so that the other girl saw 1t. l felt a chill at once and just because it appeared to the young woman that I had been waiting all that rlme for a cent. Igot a reputation for elosefistedness that is still sticking to me. ''-Pittsburg News.

 By strange coincidence this is mouse" or .'rat" year, according to the Oriental zodiac, and rats,as cause of the spread of the bubonfc' plague in Japan, are at the same time being killed by the hundreds. A good price has been set on their heads" The plague Is raging, chiefly in Osaka, where it got good start in the fac tories; but Tokio, Yokohama and other places are adopting strict precaution- ary measures.

A Plea for Tea.

Mature Is, after all, to be depended
upon pretty thoroughly" said Chi
cago physician who has made study
Of the effects Of tea on the system. "For
example, it is the exceptional person
who Graves tea at breakfast, time Of
the day at which 1t Is least needed and
is frequently most injurious. Tea with
dinner, too, Is not to be recommended,
because even If perfectly made there Is
sure to be little tannic acid in its COM
position, and the stomach, in attempt
ing the digestion Of heavy meal is
much better without this principle.
"After o'clock, however, the hour
that fashion and custom agree in pro-
viding tea, is an hour that is also prop
er and favorable to the system. The
supply of energy with which the day
was begun is about exhausted, and a
cup Of well-made tea is often refresh
ment and tonic that Is both acceptable
and desirable."-Chicago Chronicle.

NEW FIND OF FuLLER.s EARTH.

Deposits of Unusual Purity Discovered
in Florida.
There has just been brought to light
near the 0cklockonee River, fourteen
miles west of Tallahassee, Fla, what
Is believed by experts to be one of the
most wonderful pure veins of fuller's
earth ever discovered in any country.
1t is said to yield, at the expenditure of
very little labor, immense quantities of
fuller's earth, which stands the 100
test-that Is to say. there is no waste.
Nearly all mines of the kind contain,
besides the valuable commodity, rock,
dint gravel, sand, etc, but this is abso-
lutely free of all such substances.
Fuller's earth is soft clay and 1t has
many uses. Half century ago it was
little mined in England, and was SO
valuable there that expectation Of it
was prohibited.
Twelve miles from the place of the
new discovery are two fuller's earth
mines that have been worked for a
long time. One is known as the Ward
mine and the other is owned by the
Standard Oil Company. The product
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-06-08

Hitherto these two old mines have
regulated the supply and the price of
the article and enormous profits are
said to have been realized from them
1t is estimated that the fuller's earth
found in this new vein can be put on
the market ready for commercial uses
at one-third the cost possible from any
other mine.
Some of the more important uses to
which this material is now put, with
excellent results, are the following:
1. In making baby's powders OF
great healing properties for the skin.
2. In refining all kinds Of crude oils
8. For distilling whiskies and brew.
ing beer.
4. In the manufacture of all kinds
of fvaselines.
B. Packing-house use it>for refining
lards, oleomargarines, butterines and
cottolenes. These commodities cannot
be made without the use Of fuller's
earth.
6. AS a foundation for manufactur.
ing all kinds of laundry and toilet
soaps.
Z. A new use recently discovered fol
fuller's earth is that the wool manu-
facturers wash old wool with it, as II
is a great absorber Of all oils and re-
fuse matter found in raw. wool.

A Thrifty habit.

"Stinginess is one thing and an OBJ
servance Of excessive nicely in finan.
cial details is another" said Western
man who Is worth good deal Of mon
ey. "As an example will cite rich
old uncle / once had. He was mill
ionaire and not stingy, but he watched
the pennies like hawk, and he was
SO exacting that everybody said he
was the meanest man in the county;
but he wasn't, for he gave away $1O,-
600 year in various charities that he
would not let the recipients mention.
But to the case in point. One day
asked him for nickel for car fare,
telling him would return it when I
got some change, but l forgot all about
it. Three months after that it occur
red to the old gentleman to be very
nice to his five nephews and nieces,
and at Christmas four Of them received
checks for $1,000 each, while mine
was-for $4,999.95. It was just his
way, don't you sect, I owed him that
nickel and he wanted it."

The Hindu Child.wtfe.

A Hindu child-wife divides her yea.
into two intervals, one of which she
spends with her parents, this being q
sort Of vacation time, and the other she
spends at the house of her husbands g
parents, this being the time Of daily
downright drudgery. Village girls in
Bengal blacken their teeth with mishi,
a coloring powder. The lips are black
also, and this is supposed to make them
exceedingly charming.
Writing letters, especially to her hus-
band, is thought to be fearful immod-
esty in Hindu girl; and she has no
chance Of improving her mind by in
telligent conversation with any one.
She must write to her husband, though
she has to do it by stealth in the night.
The moon is her lamp, a stick out of
the domestic broom her pen, the Juice
of the puin berry her ink, and proba-
bly, the dried leaf Of the banana her pa
per. A Hindu girl must always keep
the inner apartment of the house. She
is only let out when she goes to draw
water for the household either from
the pond or the well or the river.
Hence the waterside is a great femi-
nine resort, a sort of women's club,
where there is much gossiping and
plenty of stolen leisure.-Christian Reg
lister.

Naming the Prince of Wales.

About six hundred years ago there
was a king of England-Edward l.
who subdued the people Of Wales. At
ter conquering the Welsh he was anx-
ious to get their goodwill, and SO,
when it happened that his first baby
prince was born in Carnarvon, in
Wales, he had a bright idea He an.
nounced that his boy was native of
Wholesome who could speak Welsh
just as well as any other tongue (this
was true, as the baby was but a few
weeks old, and he should therefore be
the peoples own prince, Edward,
Prince of Wales.
Twenty-three years after this baby
became King Of England, and about
fifty years later his grandson had as
signed to him, as the third Prince of
Wales, the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings
sons who have since that day had the
title. The crest Is three ostrich feath-
ers, and the motto is the sentence, 'Ich
dien''-'I serve" 1t was given to the
Black Prince, boy Of great promise,
who fought bravely at the battle of
Crecy.-Forward.

How the Heart Escaped.

sweeper who saluted him In military
fashion.

sweeper, in a broad Irish brogue.
"Have you been in any engage

war;"
Did you get any wounds?" asked the
officer.

piled the crossing sweeper, without the
slightest hesitation.
"Get along, fellow!" said the officer
Indignantly, assuming that the sweeper
was an impostor. "If you had been
shot through the heart you would have
been as dead as a door-nail!"
.'But shure, sur" said the man, "me
