What Pat Did When ;he Well Fell in.

An freshman TOOK u con
tract to Olga we'll. When he
had dug about twenty five
feet down he came one morn
ing and found that it had fall
len in and that it was filled
nearly to the top.
Pat looked cautiously a
round and saw thar no per-
son was near, then took off
his hat and coat ami hung
them on a windlass, crawled
into some bushes and await
ed events.
In a short time the neigh
hors discovered that the well
had fallen in and, seeing
Pats coat and hat on the
windlass, they supposed that
he was at the bottom of the
excavation.
Only a few hours of brisk
digging cleared the loose e
earth from the well. Just az
the excavators had reached
the bottom and were wonder
ing where the BODY was, Pat
came out of the bushes and
good. ma turedl.y thanked the
diggers for relieving him OF a
sorry job. Some of the dig
gers were disguised, but the
joke was too good to allow
Of anything more than n
laugh, which followed prompt

Rules Of a Safe Business Life.

In the SATURDAY evening
Pnst Russell Sage gives the
following good advice to the
young unen which, it taken,
would surely lbp nf great ben
eft to them. Mr.. Sage said:
mo matter howfast a man
may make money, he owes it
to society as well as to him.
self to he economical.
"Any young man who will
live up to the follow set Of
rules, will get more genuine
happiness out Of life than his
neighbors who Violate them.
'Out Of every dollar earn
ed save twenty-five cents.
Save seventy five ii you can,
hut never less than twenty
five.
"Get up at a regular hour
every morning and work un-
til the things that are before
YOU nre finished. Don't drop
what you have in hand be-
ca usp it IL five o'clock.
"Be honest. Always have
the courage to tell the truth.
Don't depend on others.
Even il you have a rich faith
er strike out for yourself.
"Cultivate independence at
the very outset
"Learn the value of money
Realize that it stands, when
honestly made, as the monn'
ment to your value as a cit
zen.
"Be jealous of your civic
rights. Take a wholesome in
tprest in public affairs, but
do not let politics, or any
thing else interfere with the
rigid administration of your
private duties. The State is
made M of individuals.
BE clean and decent. Don't
do anything that you would
be ashamed to discuss with
yonr mother.
"Don't gamble.
"Be "irrumspect in your a
musements.
In connection with amuse
ments. | have never been able
to understand why the Young
men of tc day deem the thea
ter an absolute essential in

to the young man of brains
than an evening in a h a ]

APRICOTS IN GERMANY.
Fruits Which Have Been Sulphurize d

Fruits Which Have Been Suiphurize Il
Are Confiscated a. Injurious
Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort calls attention to the fact that I'M
der the German law dried fruits which
have been treated with sulphur are
considered injurious to health and are
liable to be cOnfiscated, confscation
having actually taken place in several
cities. The consul general further
states that he has been shown two re-
ports by the Chemical-Technical and
Hygienic institute, of Frankfort, re-
lative to samples of dried California
apricots, one of which samples showed
the presence of 0.03376 per cent. of sui
phurous acid and the other 0.1S2 per
cent If the authorities become cog
infant of this fact, continues Mr..
Guenther, not only will this fruit be
confiscateo, but the German dealers,
rather than get into difficulties with
trade.
The consul general adds that Ger
many's importation of California dried
fruits is increasing, and advises United
States exporters to be careful to OBJ
serve the German laws and not sub
ject their shipments to confiscation.
The two consignments of apricots Of
which samples were analysed were
not shipped directly from California
to Frankfort, but were procured from
middlemen.
