A Scheme Tint EniIed.

With a market basket filled with
pieces of bank and treasury notes an
old woman, who said she lived in Cam
den, appeared at the subtreasury and
stated that she wanted the bits of mon
ey redeemed, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t required only a hasty ex-
animation for the officials to determine
that the pieces of notes were all from
the edges and corners of bills of va
rious denominations.
The woman was asked how she be-
came possessed of the pieces which
information she failed to give Then
she was bluntly told that the govern
ment would allow her nothing for the
remnants of money, because it was
plainly evident that the pieces were
all clipped from whole notes. This the
woman denied, yet she was obliged to
go away without receiving passable
cash for her offering.
The officials found that, though there
were corners and edges from $40, $40,
So, 50 and 81 notes, there was not a
piece of center In the entire collec-
ton, so that it would be impossible
to make even one bill by pasting pieces
together. There were enough bits,
however, to equal hundred notes in
size. Judging from the paper and
style of notes, it had required about 20
years to collect the pieces.

One of the most necessary and vet
one of the most abused of all imple-
ments is the lawn mower. TO sharpen
the knives is not difficult matter. To
do it remove the wheels and slip the
cogwheel off the end of the shaft. A
little clutch will be found in a slot in
the shaft at each end Simply reverse
the positions of cogwheels and clutches
from one end of the shaft to the other,
SO that the reel can be run backward; !;
then replace the outer wheels and fas-
ten them in place with either the nuts
or cotters. With the oil can run little
oil along the edge of the lower knife.
Upon this oil sprinkle medium coarse
emery powder Now turn the machine
upside down and push 1t along the
lawn rapidly, the reel turning back
ward causing the emery to grind all
the knives. The wheels may then be
taken off and the cogs and clutches re-
versed. the emery carefully wiped off,
the knives adjusted. the machine oiled,
and 1t will be ready for use.-Womans S

According to the London Chronicle,
there is now Garter vacant, and if q
plebisclte decided on whom it should
be bestowed there is not a doubt but
that X. G. would be placed after the
name of the field marshal commanding
in South Africa who most certainly
merits the distinction quite as much as
Lord Elgin, on whom 1t was so proper
ly conferred by Lord Salisbury. In the
last two centuries the Garter has only
been thrice given for military services
to Marlborough, Wellington and Lord
Anglesey-an strange to say, no naval
commander appears to have had it. not

NUNS TRAGIC DEATH,
Ends Her Life by Jumping Into the
Sea.

EieF LIE INTO tnt
Sen.
New York, Aug PA chapter of
tragic aad pathetic features was the voy-
age of L'Aquitaine, the French liner,
from New York to Havre and back again
to New York. The steamship arrived
here on her return trip with 1,046 pas
sengers
One of the second cabin passengers
who boarded the vessel at Havre was a
beautiful but sad faced English woman,
Miss Margaret Mnnehan. She jumped
overheard early last Thursday. The
body was recovered with little life still
in it, but Miss Minnehan died in the
ship surgeons arms.
Miss Minnehan was 36 years old She
was not in good health when she went on
board and became the patient of DIR.
Potel, L'Aquitaine's surgeon. She had a
hallucination that she was being perse-
cuted. The woman, who was tall and of
fine figure, left her room on the star
board side of the promenade deck at 6
n. m. on Thursday. She was fully dress
ed and wore large hat She carried
satchel To fellow passenger the wo-
man remarked:
Watch and you will see something
sensational today"
She handed dollar to a steward and
said in French: This is for you. You
have been very attentive
Crossing the promenade deck, Miss
Minnehan slung the satchel overheard
amidships. She quickly climbed the rail
and followed the satchel, crossing her
self as she plunged headlong.
Captain Simon put the vessel about,
and Second Lieutenant Bourdeaux with
six sailors quickly dropped into life
boat. They picked up the woman, who
was unconscious, and raised her in
sling to the deck. DIR. potel tried to re-
store her. but Miss AIinnehan died as he
was treating her.
One of the saloon passengers said that
the woman had confded to fellow trav-
eler that she had been nun in Eng
land, but had fallen in love with young
man and renounced the veil to marry
him. Her lover was a false wooer and
she had fled from her home to begin
again life of conservation.

A KNOWING FROG.
The Novel Manner In Which He Sc
cures Meals of Flies.


cures Meals of Flies.
"One Of the most knowing little ami
NAL pets l ever had is a frog about
half grown" said well known artist
the other day to a reporter. II made
the jumpers first acquaintance one
morning two weeks ago, when he hop
ped from the garden through an open
French window into my studio, where
his frequent daily visits afford me
much amusement during idle moments.
He is so tame that he will take worms
from my fingers and perch upon my
hand like bird and sing and croak
as long as l choose to hold him.
"As an illustration of the little fell
lows cunning, l was one morning feed
ing my favorite cat with q saucer of
bread and milk, all of which pussy did
not eat The food that the cat left
soon attracted quite a number of flies.
The observant frog noticed this, and,
hopping into the saucer, he rolled over
and over until he was fairly covered
with batter of bread and milk, hav-
Ing done which he lay perfectly mo-
lioiiitsS anu uN
The flies, enticed by the prospect of a
good meal, soon began to circle around
the scheming batrachian, and when
one passed within two inches or so of
his nose his tongue darted out and the
fly disappeared. The plan worked SO
well that the frog makes regular
business of rolling himself in the cats
left over dinner.
"One day | wanted to paint him in
a picture and tried to take profile
view. But he evidently had a dislike
to being sketched, for whenever |
placed him In the right position he
would hop around so as to face me
and then go on my drawing paper
Then l would put him on a plate with
some water so that he might be more
comfortable. This plan answered very
well as far as keeping him off the pa
per went but when | turned the plate
so as to get side view he hobbled
around and would face me. Then l
tried edging around the table, but with
the same result, so that | was obliged
to hold him sideways while | drew
him. But whenever | raised my head
to look at him he raised his, too, and
lowered 1t again when l began to paint,
and so we went on nodding at each
other like two Chinese mandarins.'
