They Tell Stories.

A bright club woman of New York has
sprung a ~brand-new and highly enjoyable
form of entertainment upon her circle of
friends. says a writer in the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Ii is the anecdote luncheon. The
guests were invited and the menu arranged
as usual. but when all were gathered
around the dainty table the hostess led off
with a rafting good Irish story, and the
others followed. 1t goes without saying
that mirth and merrinfent reigned, and II
aughter is an aid to digestion such a
luncheon would cure the most confirmed
dvspeptic. The toast of the day was TO
The Woman's Luncheon : that happy
commingling of beauty and brains, grace
and gastronomy, ideas and ices.
The idea is certainly a happy enc, and is
worth being followed, and the women OF
the Quaker City had better begin looking
for good stories and also learn to tell them
well, for much lies in the telling.

scented with SO much emphasis as the
religious argument. II what has been
termed the "gunpowder gospel" were

would be a sufficient answer to say
that a majority OF the Filipinos are
now members OF one branch OF the
Christian church. but the principle in
volved is one Of much wider applica-
ton and challenges serious considera-
ton.

The weekly crop bulletin, issued
Tuesday night from the office of the
Richmond Weather Bureau:
Ia some of the extreme western
counties the drought was only par
italy broken, and crops are suffering
again from deficiency in moisture.
Pastures have been much improved
10y the recent rains, but this improve
ment will not.continue long without
rain. Threshing is still in progress,
but Is nearing completion. The re-
suits have been generally satisfactory,
as regards wheat, but the oat crop
was cut short by the drought. Hay
ing is over, except in few localities
in the Valley section. Gardens and
late potatoes are still improving, but
need rain again in many localities.
FallOw ploughing has commenced.
but the ground is too dry, as a rule,
for satisfactory progress. Chinch
bugs are doing some damage in Hen
~ county.
Corn continues to improve, except
the early crop, which was too far ad-
vanced to be benefited by the rains.
In few counties in the western por-
ton of the State, however, corn is
still badly in need of rain.
Tobacco has made satisfactory
growth and promises good crop,
with continued favorable weather.
The plant is about ready for topping.
Fruit is generally light. Apples
are dropping badly. Peaches nearly

SEVEN MILES OF OLD CARS.
Convicts in wyoming Breaking Up Worm Out Railroad Material

Seven miles of condemnation is a long -drawn-out affair even for the west. But it stands as western growth near the state penitentiary at Laramie, Wyo., where convicts are daily engaged in making it an ever lessening fact. For many months the inspectors of the Union Pacific railroad have scrutinized the thousands of freight cars that handle the overland traffic. When a debilitated car of low capacity or unequipped with air brakes rattled past 1t was branded as con- demned, and. if empty, was shunted off on the side track built to be last refuge for the doomed cars. This process continued for months till the cars, averaging thirty feet in length, reached total length of seven miles. This distance was aseertained by local statisticians, who, in the interests of railroad history, peda1ed their bicy- cles along the line and measured 1t with their eyelometers. These cars are humpbacked, swaybaeked and contort- ed in every conceivable way, but they still hold themselves erect with kind of melancholy dignity. They have had careers varying from eight to twelve years. and since their building a score of changes have taken place in car construction. Their capacity Is often as low as 1S,000 pounds, whereas the modern car is from 10000 to 60,000 pounds capacity. The brake mechan- ism for the freight car has come to be as complicated as was that of the passenger car thirty years ago, and inventions applying to doors, ventila- tion and running gear make the old- time cars most pronounced "back num- bers." A contract between railroad and state calls for the demolition of these cars by the conviets, the wood going to the penitentiary, where 1t will keep the states charges warm this winter, and the scrap iron returning to the railroad shops, whence it will issue in due time in the form of new railway material

SCORPION BY MAIL.
Animal Had CrawIed in the Pamphlet
 while at Jamaica.

Animal Had Crawled in the Pamphlet
 while at Jamaica.
 A few days ago c. G. Lloyd, the bot anist, received through the mail a pamphlet issued by the botanical de- partment of the colonial government of the island of Jamaica Upon re- moving the wrapper and strengthening out the folds of the pamphlet there was disclosed the remains of a deadly SCOT pion. It is characteristic of this ven- omous insect to seek hiding place in anything of tubular shape which will give 1t the opportunity of crawling to the far end of it's castle and there awaiting the chance of giving some unsuspeeting person a glimpse of the River Styx. In this case the scorpion, while proving around among the mail sacks in the Kingston postof1ce, dis covered the pamphlet and immediately erawled into the opening. Unfortu- nately for "his scorpionship," or fortu- nately for some mall clerk, the pam phlet was placed under a pile of mail matter in the sack, with the result that the insect was f1attened out Mir Lloyd
  saw in an instant the nature of the foreign corpse, and wisely put it aside until he held an inquest. Like an In- dian, the only good scorpion is dead one, and not even a hardened coroner would dare to sit on one if the thing showed evidences of playing 'possum The weight on this scorpion was so heavy that his tail took the familiar curve it assumes when the business end is ready to go to work, The "stinger' is forced out to its full length. Mir Lloyd says that this is only an in- stance of how insects are accidentally transmitted from one part of the world to another The accompanying danger is correspondingly great to those who handle the mail matter.-Cineinnat Enquirer.

Health from an Open Fireplace

Physicians are discovering that the old-time open fire had much to dc with the health of our grandmothers and that steam heat and furnace heat are responsible for many ailments. Steam heat especially has way of gradually increasing so that anyone who is used to a steam-heated room becomes an easy victim to colds and all the long string of ailments to which a cold is the introduction. An open fire is a sort of inspiration in itself, and since 1t draws in the out-of-door oxygen through all the cracks and crannies it helps to purify the air in tie room while it heats it.

POWER OF AUTHORITY.
Lack of Respect for It Causes Many
 Political Crimes.

The authority of the state Is as sacred in its own place as the author ity of the home, and that nation which above all personal and individual rights holds the law of the land and the government of the nation in the highest esteem is the nation which will insure it's final prosperity. And yet there are those, and they are not in small number. in this and other lands, who rebel against the constituted au- thorit: = their governmsnt. and at the same time consider themselves good citizens. European rulers have been assassinated, two attempts have been made upon the life of England's queen, and in our country Presidents Lincoln and Garfield were foully murdered. And what was the primary cause of these terrible tragedies? Nothing more nor less than lack of respect for constituted authority. And there are those today who, while perhaps they will not resort to such deeds of violence, nevertheless have hatred of the government of the nation, be- cause, forsooth, the political party which they favor does not happen to be in power With such people, no matter what the chief executive of the nation does, it is wrong No matter how carefully political affairs, the af- fairs of the nation, are planned and managed, the whole government in their opinion (anything but humble opinion, by the way) consists of a set of thieves, robbers, money-grabbers and the like, who are only at the seat of government with the one intention of seeing what they can make out of their term of office. In some cases this may be more or less true; but if 1t is, it certainly does not excuse any loyal and patriotic citizen of this great re- public from being bound to pay his need of homage and respect for the constituted authority of the govern menG of his country.-Donohoe's Maga- zine
