A QUEER CORK SAFE.
Dupes Were Unable to Find the
Place Where They Were
BunkOeG.

"Did you ever hear of cork safe?"
asked a drummer who represents the
latest thing in chilled-steel and burglar
battling time locks, according to the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. "As far
as | am aware" he continued, when
every body Ghorused negative, only
one of them was ever built. 1t was
made by an ingenious Dutch mechanic
for a one-time famous confidence man
named DR.. Baggs, who operated in
Denver, Salt Lake and Frisco. The
safe was a folding affair, made of paper
on backing OF sheet cork and when it
was opened W was six feet high, and
looked exactly like the real thing. As
it was always placed in a corner, it had
only two sides, but every visible detail
was complete-combination knob,
hinges, lettering, bolt-heads and ali.
When folded it could be carried in an
ordinary dress suit case. Baggs used
the thing in fake lottery Office which
was of itself marvel of trick furnish
ing.
when the victim entered the place
il looked like an ordinary business es-
adjustment, with desks, railing, maps
on the walls, safe in the corner, and sew
eral clerks at work on books. The in
slant he left roll-top desk was opened
up into bed. The railing was folded
together and slipped into a closet, a
table was turned into wash stand, a
cabinet turned into bureau, the safe
was put away in its case, the curtains
were pulled down and the room was to
all appearances simple sleeping apart
ment. By that means the poor dupe
was never able to find the place where
he had been bunlloed. | saw Baggs'
old cork safe when / was last in San
Francisco. 1t is now owned by a cigar
dealer, who bought it as curio, and
while it is pretty badly battered, one
can still see plainly that it was a Won
derful piece of mechanical work"

PAY DAY IN CHINA.
All Accounts Are Settled on New
Years Dny-PreSentS in
Red Paper.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
cant raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy, says
the London Mail. The laws are such
that the creditor can enter the debtors
house and take what he pleases if
there is no settlement. To prevent
such action families cldb together and
make all sorts of compromises to keep
up the business reputation Of the clan.
New Year is a great day for the pawn
brokers. Their shops are crowded
with people who want to redeem their
best clothes before the new year.
There are crowds also who want to
pawn other things in order to get
money enough to pay their debts.
Pawnbrokers receive high rates Of in
terest, in which they are protected
by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole country
red OH New Years day in more senses
than one. Red is the color which with
them denotes good luck and prosper.
ity, and all the New Year cards and
invitations are on paper Of that color.
Every child gets its New Year present
wrapped in red paper, and red in
Scriptions are pasted over the doors of
the houses.

A KNOTTY CASE.
In Which II Is shown That Cows Are
valued More Than IA Mere Hu-
man BODY in Africa.

"A Uganda woman had married three
husbands at different times, and had
had son by one of them-the second,
says writer in Blackwood. The faith
er unfortunately died, and the other
two quarreled about the possession of
the son, who meanwhile lived with his
mother As soon as he was old enough
to take law into his own hands the boy
elected to live with the first husband.
and left his mother TO DO so: thereupou
the third husband raided the first. car
rying off ten head of cattle. and, as if
to Still further complicate the case, one
of the cows calved on the road. 1t now
fell to my lot TO decide with whom the
boy was to live, and what was 70 become
of the cattle.
so much evidence was produced that
l became utterly confused. especially
when the mother crawled in on hands
and knees to give evidence as t o parent
age, in which, by the way. she was fiat
~ contradicted by her offspring. /
finally decided that the boy was 10 live
with the first husband, and that half
of the COWS were TO be returned to him
the remaining half, with the calf. be
ing kept by No. 3. At this decision
No. was delighted, but | could never
make out why, as five COWS. even with
out calf. are usually valued far above
any mere human body in Africa.

SOME OVERCOAT SIGNS.
In Which VIII Be Seen the Part
They Play in Determining
Mans Age.

THANK you" said Senator Bever-
idge, OF Indiana, tC an attache at the
white house who offered to assist him
in putting on his oyercoat. "a young
man never refuses to accept help in
getting his oyercoat on. but the older
a man gets the more certain he is to
refuse help and say: No, thank you,
| can get it on all right 1t is a GER
tain indication of cid age when a man
will not permit another to aid in get
ting on his oyercoat."
Senator Ellcins overheard the remark
Of the young senator from Indiana,
says the Washington Star, and said:
well, if what you say is true. Senator
Hawiey is one of the Youngest men
in the senate. He always accepts as
sistance in putting on his overcoat.
But one day he said to me: Elkns,
when you hear me say that | can get
my overcoat on without anyone help
ing me you may be sure that | am
getting Old"
Next Jerry Smith soliloquizcd to
himself. Jerry has been al every din
ner and public and private reception
at the white house for years. and his
principal business during that time
was to artistical'y aid in putting on
overcoats and incidentally to receive
in Chesterfeldan manner whatever
tips were given him. 81 jes' tells YER"
said Jerry to himself, "derc's lots of
troof in what de senator said, but |
jes' knows dat nobody can put on an
Obercoat like dis Lere nircer"

About three miles south of St. Joseph,
on the King Hill road, is located one Of
the Missouri state fish hatchcrics. It's
chief interest lies in the fact that it is
the only place in the state or in the
country anywhere where goldfish are
propagated and distributed. Here
these little aquarium beauties may be
obtained for a mere thank YOU" and
many are they who avail themselves Of
this privilege. From October until
January four goldfish each are given
10 every citizen Of the state until the
supply is exhausted.

WILL MAKE WAR ON INSECTS.
Plans of Massachusetts Entomolo-
gists for the Coming Year to
Abate Destruction.

The attacks of injurious insects prob
ably cause the loss of several millions
of dollars in Massachusetts alone each
year, says the Boston Transcript. This
has not always been the case. but in
sects are becoming more abundant and
consequently more destructive. Much
of this destruction, however, could be
either in part or wholly prevented ii
the proper methods of treatment were
made use of, and that this is not more
frequently done is very unfortunate.
It is probable thai the reason for the APP
parent negligence in this regard is due
to ignorance as TO what the insect is in
each particular case and what TO do to
prevent its rayages. 1t is this very UNI
certainty which results in nothing be-
ing done in most cases.
In order to provide this information
for residents of the state the entomo-
logical division of he Hatch expert
ment station at Amherst offers its serv-
ices without charge to all who may de-
sire them. In order to obtain this rs
sistance write to the entomoiogist,
Hatch experiment station, at Amherst,
Mass, describing the trouble, and also,
if possible, send samples of the injury
and insect causing H. and attention will
at once be given to the matter.
AS the Hatch experiment station Of
Massachusetts is supported in part by
state appropriation, such use of its
facilities by the people of the state is
not only justihable but desirable, for
it was established for just that purpose,
and no one who incurs loss by insect
ravages can excuse himself for that loss
except on the ground of ignorance that
such assistance could be obtained.

THE JOLLY HARBOR SEALS.

visitor at the aquarium asked of an
attendant. referring to the smallest
of the three harbor seals there, the
one with the blacklist coat. 1t was up
on the platform at the end of the pool,
with its eyes apparently fixed on the
clock that is secured to the front of
the railing round the gallery. The
hour was about two minutes of four
O'clock, says the New York Sun.
He's waiting fer the whistle to
blow" was the reply, and it certainly
did seem as though the little black
seal was watching for something.
The seals all know well the sound
of the four-o'clock whistle, for that
means their feeding time has come
The whistle is the signal of the clos
ing hour of the aquarium, and the
seals are fed Immediately
AS the people set their faces toward
the door the seals dash and slash and
prance about in their pool, and jump
up half or three-quarters of their
length out of the water and look over
the railing, watching and waiting for
the man with the food. As he walks
along the pool toward the platform at
the end the seals rush on the plat
form to meet him.
j, may be that the little black fellow
just happened to be up there at that
hour, and that it was looking at the
clock just by chance, and that it
couldn't tell the time by it at all; but
the seals all know sure enough the
four-o'clock whistle
