WHEN EARTH IS ALL KNIVES
Many Lost and Few Founa, DOCS the Pocket Cutlery secrete
 Itse1f:-one Mans Theories.

A man With no particular liking for statisties discovered the other day that within hundred years the farmers or the country will be blowing knives, sowing their grain in knives, reaping it rom knives, and all the while will be buying knives for their own use According to his theory, what is now soil must sooner or later give way to solid bed of cutlery. Earth, he says. Will become in time something for only the miners to view.
 The man who discovered all this en- tered a North side hardware store to buy knife to replace the one he had lost the day before. Lets see" he ru- minated this is the second knife I have bought in a month. In the last year I've lost six, or was it seven? Guess, come to think about it. if was seven. Seven knives year lost and no knives found. Wonder where they all go?"
 The hardware man was unable to eniighten his customer, and he left the store breeding over the problem. During the next few days he oues- toned 20 friends. Only six of them had ever found knife, and all of them had lost dozens of them.
 This set the searcher for the truth to thinking harder than ever. The knives certainly did not go up in va DOT, and neither dd they become dis integrated and return to atoms. They must, then, be swallowed by the earth. Sooner or later the ground must be- come full of knives. Then the man who was now wild for truth took his pencil and figured:
 Boy from five to ten years of age loses average of ten knives a year, to- tai of 50 knives; 15 to 20 years Qess careless), loses average of five knives a year, total of 25 knives; from then on until death, say (put it smalD, he loses two knives a year, which, if the man lives to be 40 years of age, means 40 more knives lost, or a grand total of 115 knives lost. All this time, perhaps, he has found five knives, which leaves the total at 110."
 Then the man with the pencil, just to be sure that his estimate was not exaggerated, cut his figures in two and had for remainder 5s knives lost in an average lifetime, with no knives found. This was not considering the girls and their lost penknives.
 So the man with the pencil, whose brain was buzzing and who didn't dare carry his calculations any farther, contented himself with the conclusion that the time is bound to come when the earth is solid bed of lost knives which nobody can find.-Chicago Trib une.

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET.
Bodies. Seif-Imprisoned. Found in an tnoccupied House in
 New York.

New York, Feb. 15.-Plumbers work. ing in an unoccupied house on Edge ccmbe avenue, Tuesday, found in a eloset the decomposed bodies of two boys. They were identified by their parents as Martin Loeher, aged nine, and Charles Byrnes, aged II. They hau been missing since August 3 last, when they left their homes nearby, saying they were going to pick apples. The building in which the bodies were found is a flat house, and has never eeen occupied. When it was complet- ed it was locked up, and all that re- mained to be done on it was the plumbing.
 When the two plumbers entered the house they were almost overcome with the strong odor It was strongest on the second floor. They opened closet built into the wall, and there found the bodies of the boys. The door has spring lock and no knob inside, SC mat person entering and closing the door would be unable to get out again until 1t was opened from the outside.
 Int Douy or Loefief was WlthouS eie1hjng; that of Byrnes was clothed only in trousers. It is supposed the ooys were playing hide and seek, and went into the closet and closed the doo.'. The closet is so built that per- son shut in it could cry at the top of ms voice, and he would be as remote lroni aid as though he were buried mile underground.
 There was bruise on Byrnes' fore heao as though in his frenzy he had ofshed his head against the door. The whole city was searched for the boys ,as' August, their pictures being pub hshed in the newspapers and the river uiasged, and their parents had given "p all hope of ever hearing from them.

zuIu Servant stories.

The Zulu boy servants are much ap- preciated in Africa, but they have diff faculties with the English language. Their special weakness is the confusion of the letters 'l'' and "r.' As result, instead of saying that "breakfast is ready" they announce, to the astonish- ment of the stranger, "Black-faced lady, baas." They make excellent serv- ants. One particularly faithful boy was always very careful as to whom he admitted into the house. One day three visitors called, one of whom had come without a card. He ushered the first two into the drawing-room, but insisted on the other staying in the hall 1.-Two misses" he explained, ''got ticket; you got no ticket, you wait out side." The wise boy knew quite well that he himself wouldn't be allowed in a saloon without ticket; why, then, should he admit white adies?-London Globe.

RUGS OF IRISH MAKE.
Delft Weavers on the old Sod Turn Out Perfect Imitation of the
 Persian Article.

Just year ago some manufacturers of artistic textiles touring in Donegal resolved on establishing place for the making of hand-tufted carpets of the description generally known as Turk ish" or Persian" The peculiarity of this fabric is that from its nature it must be hand production. The tufts are tied by the fingers in knots in longi- tudinal warps, which are stretched be- tween two long parallel beams. The carpets are made to the size and shape of any room. The design is placed in front, and the girls, from three to dozen, according to the size of the car, pet, select the colors indicated row by row, which are tied, then bound down by shoots" of wooden weft drawn across the entire width and beaten firm by small iron-toothed hammers. There is interesting variety and pleasure in the work, and it is such that individual skill and workmanship come largely in- to play. Altogether, it is just such an industry as is suitable to the rural dis tricts of Ireland. No steam power is required, and there is therefore no handicap on the commercial side by the absence of coal.
 The first years experiment. with the Irish girls has proved that they are ad- mirably adapted for the work. The girls show a nimbleness of fingers and sharpness of eye for color and form that have quite astonished their teacher and they take to the work with spirit and cheerfulness quite refreshing. So con- vinced are the promoters ofits ultimate success that they have planned out broad scheme that will spread the work all over the west of Ireland and give em- ployment to many hundreds of girls and boys.-London Furniture Record.

CIeanIine.. in the Dairy.

Cleanliness counts in no place for more than in the dairy. The milking should be done in clean place; all vessels used should be washed morning and night in hot water with Ivory Soap, rinsed and we'll aired. Milk should never be kept in cellar with veg etables, as an unpleasant taste will be i'm parted. Attention to these details will in- sure supply of wholesome milk and butter

It is puzzling fact that the decks of sail ing vessels show dust at night, even If they be washed in the morning, and no work is done during the day.

BANK CLERKS AT HOME.
Over $50 in First National Bank of
Chicago Max Themselves Conn
Portable in Office.

The First national bank is the
largest banking institution in the
west, and as such much has been writ.
ten about it, but little has been writ.
ten about its internal workings. There
are over $50 clerks employed in the
bank, their desks occupying all of the
main floor and balconies that surround
the walls.
The bank was organized in 1868, and
has steadily grown to it's present pro-
portions. The present secretary Of
the treasury, Mr.. Gage, was president
of the bank for years before he be-
came a member of President McKiu-
ley's cabinet.
Some Is years ago the clerks of the
bank organized the First National
Bank Clerks Savings association, the
funds of the association going into the
Golfers of the bank, on which the bank
allows six per cent. per annum. The
association was organized with the
idea of enabling the clerks of the
bank to save money, at a rate of inter-
est that they could not get in any

past year there was started by the
clerks a pension system, whereby en-
ployes of the bank r pensioned after
20 years. service, or earlier if inca
pacitated through accident or sick
ness. The pension fund is raised by a
small voluntary reduction being made
in the salaries of the employees each
month. The fund was materially in
creased recently by a check for $1O,-
900 donated by the retiring president,
Mr.. Nickerson.
In order to make the clerks as COM
Portable as possible the bank daily
sets a lunch for it's employees in the
basement of the building, the clerks
and officers Of the bank occupying
the same tables.
This has been the custom for years,
