 Attention Is called by the London Lancet to the fact that canned toma- toes are now being extensively colored' in order to make them look attractive and as if made from ripe fruit.

 According to the statement of for mer resident In the KlOndyke, the in hahitants of that region suffer much from snow blindness. Dark glasses seem to be of no value in the way of prophyIaxIs. That which afforded the most protection was wooden goggles, the patterns for which were taken from those worn by the Indians. These were whittled out of piece of wood, fitting closely around the eyes, and with no glasses at all; but in the place of glasses were very small openings to see through, the inside being colored black. A projection like the visor of cap ex- tended over them, which was also col ored black on the under side to shade the eyes.
 The great earthquake that shook In dia on June 12, 1897, was remarkable for the curiously distorting effects il produced upon standing objects. Simi, lar effects have been noticed from other earthquakes, but seldom to so striking an extent.

How the South African Magnate Got
 the Best of Barney Barnato.
 "A cousin of mine who lives in South Africa" said B. A. COnyers, or CleFe- land, Ohio, to a reporter, 'told me curious story of Barney BaE1ato anu Cecil Rhodes, and how the lStter out reached the former. My cousin told he Rarnato told him the story himself, anu said at the time that in the course or his Barnato's) adventurous and re- markable career Cecil Rhodes was the only man who had ever thrown dust ln his eyes. It seems that the work or sorting out diamonds in the rough IS an extremely long and arduous task. Eacn stone has to be weighed, examined with minute care and then valued, and the process consumes a great deal of time. It is the custom to sell the output or the diamond fields to the highest bidder, and, as you probably know, the dla- mond interests have all been cOnsoli- dated, and they are all under an iron clad agreement that only so many stones shall be sold in the course Of any one year. Rhodes made this plan years ago to prevent overstocking the dia- mond market, and so well has it worked that it is to this day rigidly adhered to. Well, to return to the story; after some dickering Rhodes sold the years supply of diamonds to BarnatO. The stones had of course been carefully sorted be- ] fore Barnato bid and both sides were well satisfied with the transaction. A bottle of champagne and couple of good cigars completed their joy in each others society.
 "Stories were being swapped. and the l two men were having a thoroughly good time All at once Rhodes turned to Barnato as though the idea had just struck him. Barney said he, that years yield of diamonds will fill a bucket. Now, I don't believe anyone ever heard of much less ever saw, a bucketful of diamonds. What say you to filling a bucket with them and hay ing our pictures taken with the bucket full of diamonds between usY All right said the guileless Barnato, bring on your bucket and your pho tographer.' The bucket was secured and the picture duly taken. Then quoth the guileful Rhodes, I thought, Bar ney," you'd fall into that trap. I've got a number of leftover stones to dispose 1 of, which it will take me about three months to work off, and that, 1 opine, is just about the time you will need to resort and revalue those stones.' Bar nato sat with his mouth open for a few minutes and then a twinkle came into his eye as he got up and solemnly shook Rhodes by the hand, but the only com ment he made was, Well, I'll be-v" | New York Tribune

Left and Right.

Bank clerks are so often called upon for information that they fall into the habit of giving it in hurried, mechan- ical way. A Philadelphia exchange cites an instance which was followed by unexpected and amusing results.
 The usual formula when stranger is called upon to sign his name is "Sign here. pen and ink, left hand"
 One morning a stranger entered a New York savings-bank and asked for q considerable sum of money, and was directed as above. It took him long time to sign his name.
 A month later the same man appear ed and presented the certificate. He signed his name, but when the clerk looked at it he saw that it was vastly different from the first signature.
 ''This is not the signature of the man to whom I issued this certificate" he said, severely.
 Well" said the stranger, "when was here month ago you told me to write my name with my left hand, and I can't write very we'll that way"
 A light dawned upon the clerk, and he asked the man to write his name again with his left hand. This he did. producing a facsimile of his first sigma ture, and the money was paid.

 Julian Ralph has been obliged to give up newspaper work for the time, but has found plenty of occupation in mak- ing two books. The first one, now fin ished, is called At Pretoria" and is 8 second collection of the letters he wrote from the Transvaal war. The other book upon which he is at work is 8 compilation of the most interesting arti- cles which were contributed to the Friend, that unique newspaper main tained by and for the British army on the immediate field of war at BlOem- fOntein.
 Johanna Lobsenz, in the New York Times Saturday Review, makes a strong argument for the old school reader of our school days. And who of us does not remember 1t? With its pie lures and stories skillfully mixed in with articles of general information as to science, habits of animals, adven- lures and so on. Much of that informa- ton is to-day given to pupils in less at- tractive form, and consequently is not retained in the memory. So this lady hopes that the educational woodman will spare our "story readers" yet awhile.
 Maurice Hewlett, whose Richard Yea-and-Nay" is one of the books of the day, attributes much of his literary bent and skill to his father, but speaks indifferently of the influence of school and college life. Most of his days were given to reading and writing, and he left Oxford without obtaining scholar ship. "I wasted my time," he says con- corning these university days. "I dreamed. tried to do things too big for me, and threw them up at the first fail- ure I diligently pursued every false god l don't think I was very happy and am sure was very disagreeable. I doubt now if was ever boy except for a short period, when by rights l should have been a man."
 The original of Miss Alcott's charac- ter of Laurie, in Little Women" turns out to be an American boy who lived in Concord, was Miss Alcott's playmate, and then moved out to Kansas. To this boy In hIs Western home Miss Alcott wrote regularly some of the most de- Iightful letters that ever came from her pen, and in one of the last she ac- knowledges to him that he is the orig inal Laurie. These letters will soon be published in book form. They will be edited by Laurie himself, who is a sue cessful and prominent lawyer in Kan sas. The letters are said to give just that insight into Miss AlcOtt's loving character for which her admirers have so long waited.

TAKING LIFE MASKS.
It Is a Tediou, Operation, Especially

It Is a Tediou, Operation, Especially
 for the Subject.
 One often observes when reading of the demise of a celebrity that a mask was taken by MT. So-and-SO, the cele- brated sculptor, soon after the death, but really very few people know how this is carried out. They might have some idea that plaster of paris is put over the dead mans face, but there the idea ends.
 A mask from life Is taken almost pre- clsely in the same way as after death, save that much greater care has to be used, as the subjects life hangs on very thin thread, or, to be more precise, two small quills. 1t requires a great deal of nerve and patience to undergo, the sensation being most disagreeable. When a mask from life is about to be secured, the subject reclines on long table, and towels are placed around his neck and forehead to prevent the blast CT going where not intended. The face is slightly greased, but not enough to fill the pores of the skin. Care has to be especially taken with the eyelashes, as otherwise, in the subsequent opera tiOns, these are likely to be pulled off, which would not be exactly pleasant. A small quill is now inserted in either nostril to allow the subject to breathe through. and cotton wool lightly press ed around the base to keep the liquid plaster from intruding. A'pair of scis, sors is always kept handy, so as to be able to cut off the tops of the quills, should by any chance the plaster splash up and cover them. All being ready few cheering words are spoken to the unhappy victim, and the plaster is mix ed over the features. The hHster, through being mixed with warm water quickly hardens, and in the course of about five minutes the mold is strong enough to be taken off. It has to be carefully done, as the subject Is gener- ally so very eager to get mouthful of fresh air once again. X slight tap with the hand Is given to the two side pieces, which relieves the joints made by the thread. The top or central piece is then lifted up and pulled slightly down. ward, so as to withdraw the quills from the nose as they come out with the Eaold The sides are then taken off. Probably some of the hair may hold the mold, but with little coaxing. or by the insertion of the scissors, it can soon be removed. Care must be used to get the ears, but without. breaking either the subject or the mold The ears are only taken on the front sides, cotton wool being placed at the back to pre- vent the plaster going around. When removed the three pieces are put to- gether and plaster placed on the exter- for to hold and strengthen them.- Strand Magazine.

CIGARETTES DECIDE A TRIAL.

That a husband is not bound to sup port a wife who smokes cigarettes is the effect of a decision made by Judge Fin1etter, of Philadelphia, Pa. Herbert Stanlan was before the court charged with non-support of his young wire Marie, to whom he has been marrled only six months. The woman stated Stanlan had failed to provide either a home or funds for her.
 The Judge was about to make the usual order for Herbert to pay his wife so much a week when the husbands counsel asked the wife if it were true she smoked cigarettes.
 ''Yes, smoke them,' was the snappy reply.
 Then the lawyer asked her to show the Judge her fingers that he might see he nicotine stains on them.
 ''Is that fact?" queried the court, as

Yellow Journal Profits.

Yellow journalism is successful from a financial standpoint. The profits of the Herald last year amounted to near ly seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or about two thousand dollars per day. Mir. Pulitzer's net profits for the same time were five hundred thou sand dollars, his income having fallen off since the World dropped from two cents to one. The Journal, it is gener- ally understood, came out even, al- though MT. Hearst might have made money had he not continued to invest more in pushing his circulation. This young newspaper magnet seems deter mined to have his papers bought in every town in the United States, and his ambition to that end knows no limit. Thus far his results are unprecedented. The Evening Journal has a circula- ton in Boston alone of thirty thousand. MT. Bennett and MT. Pulitzer are each worth twenty-five million dollars, all of which has been made in the newspaper business. The Hearst estate, on which MT. Hearst can draw indefinitely, it seems. is worth more than thirty mill ion dollars, and six million dollars, it is estimated, have already been invested in the New York Journal and Chicago American, without any profits as yet" -AinSlee'S

Embarrassing.

The ability of the small boy to rouse discomfort in his elder sisters breast has been the theme of more than one story. Ten-year-old Ned had peculiar talents In that direction, and In the month or two before his sisters engage ment he made many embarrassing complications between her and the es- timable young man who at last sue ceeded in winning her.
 Ned was much interested in the en- gagement, and very fond of his pros pective brother-in-law One day he was taken by the young man, who was lawyer, to a courtroom where case was on trial. Ned was allowed to re- main only short time, but he had an excellent memory, and sundry phrases remained in his mind and tickled his fancy.
 The next day he stood in the window, and saw his future connection pass the corner. Sticking his curly head out, he called in clear, ringing tones, for the benefit of all the neighbors, George William Snow, come in to court"

CAPTURED BY PIRATE CREW.
Officers of a ChiIian Bark Were Doubt
 less Murdered.

less Murdered.
 What has been the fate of Captain Gilmore, his wife and the officers of the Chilian bark Latona, which sailed last fall from Port Blakely, Chili, for Eaton, Peru? Have they been killed by their own crew, cor have they been captured by pirates? One fate or the other must have befallen them, for 1t is pretty cer- tain that the bark Lenora, wrecked in the Philippines in January, was the missing Latona.
 Captain Gilmore, his wife and most of the officers of the Latona were Eng fish, and, as the crew came from the slums of the southern Chilian ports, it is not unlikely that they mutinied, killed their officers and, being unable to steer correctly. went to destruction. The crew may have been heading for the South Sea Islands, where safety might be assured, and, having lost the way. brought up on the coast of the Philippines. None of the crew who reached Manila was communicative, and no one could get from them a def mite story of what had happened on and to their ship.
 The first report sent to Lloyd's in London from Manila was that the Leonora had been wrecked, but no yes sel with such a name is known to the shipping world, and, the Latona, from Chili, being missing, 1t is believed that lac, fc o crew was saved, the rest being unac- counted for by the survivors. The wreck was flying an American flag when discovered, but the Latona, which was coasting steamer, carried the Chilian flag.
 Late in November the schooner Azalea, Captain Fardelius, sighted a vessel thought to be the Latona. She was several hundred miles off San Francisco and was headed westerly On drawing near. the identity of the stranger was established, but no one answered the AZalea's hail. Several members of the crew were seen loung ing on the decks. but no officers. Fear ing that pirates might be in possession Captain Fardelius contented himself with circling around the Latona, and finally continuing his course
 Shipping men of San Francisco ant the Pacific coast say they feel sure that tue wreck on the Philippine shore is the missing Latona, and that the crew must have mutinied and killed the cap tain. his wife and all the English off eers, and then started to find the path ways to the South Pacific, where the
