Secret Drawers In Furniture.

Most people seem to think" said a maker of furniture, that secret draw e-s and hidden receptacles in furniture only exist in novels and plays. but this Is by no means so. I very fre- quently take orders for such items and employ a clever woman designer who shows positive genius in planning places of concealment which no amount of tapping or measuring could reveal In most cases even were the hollow receptacle discovered the wood work around would have to be cut away, so complex are the fastenings. Most of the orders come from women and rich people of course-and l have no doubt that desire to hide articles from too curious servants dic- tates the orders.

WORLDS LARGEST oRAPEvINEs
One Thing In Which Southern California
 Exceis.

From the San Francisco Chronicle: It has been already announced by tele- graph that old age is telling upon the big grapevine in Fl Monteeito valley, a few mics from Santa Barbara. The vine has the distinction of being the largest in the world. but it is rapidly dying, and the owner of the property upon which it stands, Albert McGee has offered it to the Santa Barbara chamber of commerce. 1t is to be cut down soon and the trunk and so much of the branches as can be accommodate ed in the building will form a permo- nent e5aibit in the chamber of com 1-o-He rooms. The original "mother vIe as it was called, died in 1875 anG e year following it was taken to tla centennial exposition at Phila- deIpl4ia, where it was viewed by thou sands as a remarkable illustration of Ca1ifofnias productiveness- The old vine stood near the younger one. It was three feet ten inches in eireum- ference of the trunk and the spreading branches covered a trellis seyenty-five feet square. The present vine is only three or four inches smaller in cir conference than it's parent. and if covers nearly as much space. 1t has produced four tons of grapes in sin gle season in it's prime. 1t is now nearly 100 years old. When the Monte cito vine is gone Santa Barbara county will still claim the largest grapevine on earth, for on ranch in the Car pinteria valley there is growing thrift Fly a double vine said to come from a single stock below the surface of the ground. This double vine at Carpin teria is over six feet in circumference. Ali of these big Santa Barbara vines are of the Mission variety.

Wanted to See the aahr.

Some young women, according to a Philadelphia paper, noticed a foreign looking man pushing a closed baby carriage. Their curiosity was aroused and one of them asked to see the baby that was so completely covered. The man hesitated but finally succumbed to the girls glances, and, unbuttoning the apron, he disclosed a small, round gentleman, with mustache and Napo- lSon, quietly chewing an unlighted cigar The girls were speeches. with surprise and shame for having in- truded on the mans privacy, although he was tiny one, under three feet in length. He graciously pardoned the women as he stroked his mustache. and invited them to see him at the export exposition, where he has just arrived to be exhibited. Then, bidding them good-by, he ordered his attend- ant to continue with the daily ride.

An Indian Golfng Innovation.

Little swear-wheels in form not un- like the Burman prayer-Wheeis, are now in use on the golf links i'll Kash- mir. They are conducive to silence, as, when one misses particularly good stroke, one takes the wheel hurriedly from the caddie, and violently turns it around. Nottingham Guardian.

An Interesting Operation.

A very interesting operation was performed in New York upon Kate Farley by Dr. Brewster, a dentist of Lefferts place. Mrs. Farley has been at the Memorial hospital for several weeks with two compound fractures of the lower jaw. The operation con- sisted of cementing the upper and low CT jaws together, so that the broken bones of the lower jaw may be held firmly in place until the fractures are healed. Until the healing has taken place the woman will not be able to open her mouth, so that nourishment will be given her through tubes lead ing through small apertures where several of her teeth are broken out. The primary part of the operation was similar to the process used by dentists in making new sets of teeth for persons who have none. Dr. Brewster first made an impression of the upper and lower teeth. From these impressions he made rubber splint which fitted the impressions of the teeth. He then cemented this splint to the teeth, clos ing the jaws firmly together,

Sues for scasickness.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Mrs. Sarah L. Ungerman, who has filed suit against the Hamburg-American Steam ship company for damages for sea- sickness, Is from Missouri. She says she paid for a comfortable trip on the steamship across the ocean. but she didn't get 1t. She estimates the dam age to her health, comfort and dignity at $5,000. Mrs. Ungerman is specific i'll her charges. She says she was guaranteed four good meals day aboard the steamer going to Europe. but on account of the peculiar antics of the ship in trying to find the bot tom with her nose and stand on her stern, she was unable to eat, and the display of fare was tantalizing. Insult was added to injury, she says, when, in the midst of her suffering, the cap tain prescribed salt pork as n remedy. Steamship managers are said to be worrying over the suit, as an adverse decision would establish very dan gerous precedent, and would probably result in driving them out Of business. Heard His Funeral Sermon Preached.
 The Rev. E. k. Johnson of Mulberry. Ind, one Of the oldest ministers in this rart of the state. is quite i'll. His iil- ness recalls the fact that he was once declared dead, and while lying in his coffin he heard his funeral sermon preached by brother minister. MT. Johnson had suffered an attack of cat alepsy. He was conscious of what was taking place about him, heard the physician pronounce him dead and witnessed the preparations made for his burial. The spell was broken just after the euIogy had been pronounced. His restoration to health followed.

For thy mercy and love that descended:
For the end of the watch Of the sjeen-

For the song of the children, happy

Oar Father in Heaven, we thank thee,
For the power that has held us good and

And keut lis safe the long year through
For the friends who have c!asped MS h..

And talked with us of the better

Our Father in Heaven, we thank thee,
For The weary hands that are folded in

For the heart at peace in the quiet
breast:
For the shelter and shield from tho
winters cold
And thy blessings around us manifold.
Our Father in Heaven we thank thee;
For the song in the night" when the

For the pain and the iov both LEADING !,

For the lessons we learn. when weary
