 one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one-
 half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of a store is all affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padlocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door.

NEW SOURCE OF oUrrAPERcHA
A German Says the rress That Produce
 It Wil Grow io the Philippines.

In a monograph, just published in Germany, it is shown that the Philip. pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees from which guttapercha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underrated for two reasons: One is that gut6apereha is an indispensable material for the making Of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is that the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from which the chief supply has hi erto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause of this exhaus- tion lies in the primitive and destrue- tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity The natives who never havs any thought for the morrow have ruthies@ly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully culti- vated in the Philippines offers hope that new mine of wealth has been found for American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course, for the isolating covering of electric wires, large quantity is used for the manufacture of golf balls, for which no other material seems 40 we'll adapt cd. It's hardness after having been submitted to the proper pressure ana its toughness make it the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some 41,8 ,853 knots, representing a cost for the cables alone of millions of pounds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for guttapercha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds out to American enterprise is in proportion to this demand.

His Bfother's Death in Manila.

His Brothers Death in Manila.
 A mystic message brought sad intel | Hgenee to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago one day last week. IL told him of the death of his twin brother, Fred Roe Pratt which occurred in Manila. Frank was sitting down to dinner in his home in Chicago when suddenly the impression entered his mind that his brother had died He could not tell whence the knowledge came. all he knew was that his brother was dead. He told his parents of his belief, Of his knowledge, of the sad event. and then he hurried into the streets. where he walked Up and down for hours, bur dened with his grief. Three days later cane a cablegram from Manila, telling that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been Yoyaging around the world, was dead and that his body was on q steamer bound for Japan. Fred left Chicago in December, 1898, in the company of 3 friend to make a tour of the world. It was their intention to visi. nearly all the oriental countries, winding up in Australia. They had already visited China, Japan, Singapore and other places. Fred was born in Chicago and had praeticed law with his brother un til he started on this trip. The simi- larity between the twin brothers was so marked and striking that the first thought on seeing them together was to doubt ones eyesight. Not only in features and stature were they coun- terparts, but in actions. expression anf general bearing also.

A grateful mendieant has died in th@ village of Hinstock, near Newport, England, and his gratitude assumed an exceedingly novel form-for a beggar. His name was Meeson, he was aged, and his generally destitute air and wretch. ed surroundings gave his neighbora the impression that he had not a penny in the world. Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided hin with food and clothing. Great sur- prise was caused among the good Sa- maritans when it became known that by his will he had left e2,000 and cer- tain real property for division among those who had assisted him. As one of them remarked, it was a clear case of casting your bread on the water, and seeing it come back after many days outtered on both sides.
