Their Names Misleading.

It is quite generally known through.
out Orange County, New York, that
the Goshen Independent Republican
is Democratic paper, while the Go
shen Democrat is of the Republican
faith. That this fact is not known by
everyone is evident by the following
from the Independent Republican:
There came into the Office of the
Independent Republican not long
since a gentleman who desired to have
his name enrolled upon its list of sub
scribers. But as the new subscriber
took his departure he was moved to
remark: "One of the things have
no use for is a Democratic paper. I"
Evidently he had been deceived by
the name of the paper. The joke
seemed good enough to tell to Brother
Will Mead of the Democrat, who
chuckled and said: "That's nothing
we've had orders lately for 49, so worth
of work from q man who said he'd
never give q Republican newspaper a
cents worth Of work if he could help
it.

A BUSINESS POINTER.

Several Washington merchants are
afraid to invite. the trade of suburban
people for fear it might offend some
Il their city customers who don't con-
Jider it 'the proper thing" to be seen
n a store with country people. They
want the cash of country people when
the same can be secured without any
outward sign Of desire to reach out
tor it. One of the largest hardware
firms in the city recently refused to
advertise in the columns of the CITI-
ZEN and gave the following reason;
"We're not out after suburban bust
ness for the reason that we conside-
the trade of the people of Virginia and
Maryland not particularly desirable" ="

Cork Floors,

Cork, as every one knows, is one OF
the best non-conductors of heat or
sound That it has not been more
widely used in building is due chiefly
to the difficulty of obtaining it in an
unadulterated form. A product called
cork tiling has recently been placed
upon the market, which is made of
what is known to the trade as "virgin
cork" ground, compressed and other
wise treated by a patented process,
and which is free from the cement and
glue usually employed to hold the
particles together.
We are informed that tiles made of
this pure, compressed cork form an
admirable flooring, which, besides
being noiseless, waterproof, warm
and germ proof, is capable of with
standing hard usage. BY varying
the degree of compression and modify
ing the manufacturing process slightly,
sheets of cork different in color and
density are obtained, which, when
sawed aud finished in the form of
panels, can be used for wainscoting
alone. or in connection with cork
floors. Scientific American.

Character in Red Hair.

Red-haired women are ardent and
viyacious, especially if with it they
have hazel eyes, in which case they
have a bright and quick intelligence.
They have a great deal of natural felic-
ity for study, and good memories.
Red hair with blue eyes shows tho
same warmth of character, but not so
much intelligence; bright golden hair,
of q rich, deep color and of a crisp
and waving texture, growing thickly
on the head and somewhat low on the
brow, shows an ardent, poetic and
somewhat artistic temperament. It
is the signature of Apollo, the sun.
People with red-brown hair which is
very thick, and redder over the ears
and at the temples than on the head,
are courageous and energetic. This
sort of hair gives sense of color in
painters, force of language and elo.
quence in poets, power in musical
composition. --Woman's Home Com.

THE cARp IS uNPoPuLAR.
Esteemed Neither by Fishermen, Fish
Culturists Nor Fish Eaters.

Esteemed Neither by Fishermen, Fish
Culturists Nor Fish Eaters.
Carp, as every one who does any
fishing knows, is esteemed neither by
fishermen, fish culturists, nor fish eat
ers. Tender mouths which tear out
when pressure is applied to the hook
make them unpopular with the fisher
men. A voracious appetite, which
only the spawn and very young of
other fish will satisfy, makes fish cul-
turists dislike them. Meat that is
tough, making it necessary to parboil
the fish, makes them unpopular with
cooks. A lack of flavor accounts for
their unpopularity with the gourmet.
so they have become as unpopular as
denizens of the water as have the
English sparroWs as residents of the
fields. At tackle store the other day,
SAYS the New York Times, a group of
fishermen were rejoicing over the fact
that the recent lowering Of streams
and ponds hereabouts, owing to the
drought, had resulted in the destruc-
tion OF many thousands ot the fish.
In the waters near Rochester, when
the water was drawn from the canal
early in December, more than three
tons of German carp were taken in
couple of days in the cleaning up pro-
cess, and were given as payment for
the work done to the parties who
cleared the stretch of water. Game
Protector Wellman, who had super
vision of the job, saved from the mass
of other fish taken about 5000 Oswego
bass, bullheads, suckers, and a few
game fish, besides the bass, which
were transferred to the Genesee River
at points where there are no carp, and
where the fish will have a better chance
to thrive. From the South Norfolk
(Conn. reservoir the Water Commits
sioners of the city removed more than
two tons Of carp, and there are stories
that large quantities of these fish
have been taken from ponds on Long
island and in Western Connecticut,
where their presence has prevented
other fish from thriving. Down Mary
land and Virginia way there has also
been q raid on the carp under State
direction, and fly fishermen believe
that the result will be beneficial, in
that it will give game fishes such a
chance to thrive as they have not had
for years. In Southern Pennsylvania
and West Virginia the quantity of carp
stripped from some OF the streams was
so great that the fish were spread on
the ground for fertilizing purposes af-
ter every one who wanted carp had
been supplied with all they could use
for eating purposes Carp look wellin
an aquarium, but they do not seem to
be popular elsewhere.

Ess wanted a Tie Badly.

Children get queer associations of
ideas in their heads at times. A little
lad on Capitol Hill has a playmate of
his own age in the son of poor
neighbor. The son of toll visited his
richer friend the other day wearing a
gorgeous red tie. The son of wealth
eyed the tie enviously fog a while and
then asked Benny where he got it.
"My mamma dyed it for me for a
birthday present." lisped Benny.
After Benny went home Rex played
listlessly about for time and then
leaned ON his mothers knee, thought
fully studying the pictures in the fire.
Mamma" he said finally, "Benny's
tie was awful pretty, wasn't it?"

"I happened to see the start Of q
fire in Paris" said f. d. Higbee.
''It was a rather ugly blaze in three
story building. L thought the de-
partment would never get there and
stood jumping up and down and cuss-
ing the French fire fighters for their
slowness. Presently, however, my
anxious gaze was rewarded by the
sight of a small platoon of gendarmes
cleaning the street as if they were
preparing for big procession. Then
along came the fire company and
drew up in line in front of the build
ing. The engine and hose cart
came numbering along behind and
then there was a pause, the entire
company standing at attention. In a
few minutes the Real Thing, in the
shape of the captain of the company
appeared. He had on white gloves
and a fierce uniform. The whole
company saluted solemnly and then
advanced upon the irel Not a hand
had been raised to make hose
coupling or do anything else until
that august captain-with those love-
ly white gloves-had arrived and
been properly saluted. "
"But what" said I, "was happen
ing to the building during the time of
this pleasing ceremony?"
ooh, it burned down. But the
fire department made a noble show

was a most successful operation, as

Popularity of ItaIy's Monarchs.

The secret of the popularity of the
King and Queen of Italy is not hard
TO understand. Almost bourgeois in
the simplicity OF their everyday life,
they keep fresh in their hearts the
tenderest pity and sympathy for the
poor, and it is an open secret that the
good-hearted King has frequently
denied himself pleasure that he may
give more widely to the needy and
afflicted. The Queen, once q most
beautiful woman, is still handsome,
though too stout. Her regular features
are set off by the masses of chestnut
hair which she always wears most be-
comingly arranged. She is very fond
of English and Americans, showing
them quite a special courtesy at the
Roman court, patronizing their
charities, and, when the opportunity
occurs, talking in a friendly, uncon-
ventional manner with the members
of both colonies whom she happens
TO know. The Queen has a graceful,
easy and pretty way of greeting her
subjects which especially charms the
English. She is often seen to come
out on her balcony in Rome, hutter
her handkerchief and nod pleasantly
to the people, just as if she were a
personal friend Of every man and
woman in the crowd.

Of unvarying temperature in the soil
increases from one foot at the equator
to seventy odd feet at the poles, yet q
shaft in northern Siberia has reached
a depth of 1900 feet without getting
through the frost. A Western mining

disprove the theory, as the deep

AUTO THAT RAN DOWN.

A well-known woman started out the
other day in an automobile to keep an
engagement to luncheon. She had so
arranged 1t that Just Sufficient time
was left to make the journey from her

driver must have mistaken the address,
she was Just reaching up to raise the
little cover to the hole in the roof
through which driver and passenger
can communicate when II was opened
from above and the driver called down.

Il amt a-goin' to stop" replied the
man: ''leastway amt a-goin to just
at present. I've got ter keep a-goin'
until the blessed thing runs down"
The passenger reflected that II was
no use screaming, and, as they were in
particularly quiet part OF the city,
there was no partiCulad danger Of run
ming into anything; but then there was
! the luncheon. So she poked up this
cover again, and, explaining the stu
alton to the man, asked that he Keep
her as near rs possible to where she
wanted to go. Sure" was the prompt
reply, and so round and round that
block they went for what seemed to the

feeling of fear gave way to hunger, AMI
that in turn to thirst, and still they

course. Just as she was resolving tina;
she would take a chance and jump
