To Make n Glass Cutter,

A glass cutter can easily be made
with an ordinary mapping pen and a
small piece of carborunuUm. or carbide
of silicon. Cut off part of the nib to
form a small tube. Fit crystal or
part of one of carborundum into the
tube. take It ont again and dip one end
In seccotine or any other cement and
replace it, Next wind a piece of fine
wire tightly around the tube and part
of the handle and fix IT in notch cut
In the latter. Put it aside for a day to
allow the cement TO harden. \ glass
cutter made thus will do its work as
well as the expensive diamond and a
great deal better than the ordinary
wheel cutter

IT STAGGERED THEM. .ss: q.
Employees In n Department store
Were Daxcd by q $1,000 Bill.

There was one division of one of thu
largest department stores along SiXtl
avenue that suspended business fol
| half an hour one day last week. \
woman bought some handkerchief
| and a pair of towels. The clerk footed
! her bill, 40 cents, and the woman la!c
| Il paper bill on the counter.
The clerk, n girl, looked at it hastily
1t read $1,000. She had never seen q
| thousand dollar bi" before in her life
and the amaZement 1t caused made her
speechless With her mouth open in
wonder she made out the check, Show
ing that 40 cents was to be taken out
of 81 900. The girl who acts as cashier
fell back in her chair when she saw the
bill She didn't have. change for it,
and after gazing ut it in wondering adj
mration for moment she rushed out
to find the manager. He asked for the
customer who had offered 1t, and the
girl led the way to where the woman
was waiting. The clerk had recovered
from her surprise enough to point out
the customer.
The manager said, Madam, what
did you buy
The woman named over the small
articles.
"What did you give the clerk"
81 gave her a dollar bin
NO; you gave her this, and it is
worthless" the manager said sternly.
Precipitation stood out on the wom-
ans face as she looked in wonder at
the bill She tshel dollar out of
handbag she carried and paid. BY that
time she had figured out an eXplana-
ton. She has Il son attending a bust
ness college. where they have mock
transactions in business and paper to
look as much like money as the coun-
terfeiting laws Of the country will per-
NIT are used. The clerks had been so
stunned by the big figures that they
did not see that 1t was not money at
all, but fake bill-New York Herald.

A METHODIST BISHOP
GIVES PE-RU-NA GREAT CREDIT.
Writes His Recommendation
for the Famous Catarrh
Remedy, Pe-ru-na.

The day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testimon-
ials to proprietary medicines for pub
Icatfon. This remains true today OF
most proprietary medicines. But Pc
fdna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people OF
high and low station that none hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The following letters from pastors
who use Peruna speak for themselves:
Rev. e. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, Of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
MY little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but
after taking two bottles of Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared. For
this special malady I consider it well
nigh a specific. Rev E. G. Smith.
Rev. A. S. Vaughn, Eureka Springs,
Ark, says: Il had been Frustrated by
congestive chills and was almost dead;
as soon as able to be about, 1 COM
menced the use of Peruna. I took five
bottles; my strength returned rapidly
and 1 am now enjoying my usual
health. Rev. A. S. Vauhgn.

HARDLY ACCURATE.

NJ. A. B., in Harper's Magazine: She
had returned with an NJ. D. from a
university after her name, and had
been elected to the chair of English
literature in a small local college. On
the day before the session opened the
president was explaining to her the du-
ties of her place. 'In addition to your
work in English literature" he said,
with apologize hesitation, 81 should
like you to take the junior and senior
classes in elocution, and also assume
charge of the physical culture
rs there no teacher of elocution %
asked Miss Jones.
wei, no; not at present"
and who has charge of the physical
training?"
''To tell the truth, we have no teach
er as yet. You perhaps noticed in the
catalogue that those two departments
were to be supplied
And I was elected to the chair Of
English literature
Yes the president answered,
gloomily
But he was treasured by her winning
smile. 81 will take the work and do
what I can with it, Dr. Smith, she
said, brightly; but why didn't you
write me at first that the chair was
a settee?''

EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS.

MY wife has new fad" announced
the fat man with the red face as he
cheerfully stirred the cooling mixture
before him with a long straw. "She is
going in for hypnotism now, and it has
my sincere and emphatic Endorsement
She has taken twelve lessons from a
noted professor of the art, and is now
full-fedged hypnotist, or thinks she
is, which amounts to the same thing
as far as she is concerned. I was her
first subject, and her success with me
not only pleased her but astonished
her as well. At first I rebelled at be-
ing experimental with, thinking it all
tommyrot; but 1 am now prepared to
indorse the art to its full extent. She
got me in a chair and then, standing
in front of me, went through a lot of
monkeyshines before my face with her
hands.
Now she said, sternly, you can
not leave your chair
''Just to see what her game was 1
gave her the CLASSY eye and made no
move Her eyes cleaned with tri-
umph, and then she said:
Listen to me! You must no longer
drink intoxicating liquor, If you do
it will make you sick. You will find it
is impossible to lift a glass of the vile
stuff to your lips. You cannot even
enter a place where it is soldl'
Then she brought me out of the
trance by swapping her fingers, and an
nounced that her experiment was a
complete success.
"Now the dear woman remains at
home, serenely confident that am no
longer able to indulge in the flowing
bowl, and my plea of being detained
late at the Office goes without question.
Let's have another!"-Detroit Free

after the convention was over so glad

Everybody took whisky except the
city man, who had the bartender manu-
facture him a gin fizz- When the drink
had been placed before him one old
fellow asked:
Say, what's that you're drinking?'
That" said the city man, lis gin

Say, bartender" said the county
politician, take back your whisky and
give me Jim Fisk. too
rhe rest of the crowd liked the
name. and IN few minutes every man
had repudiated whisky and was drink
