Robert Morris rendered inestimable
service to his adopted country by put
ting his private fortune into the
breach in those early days when the
infant nation was in the closest finan-
cial straits. says a writer In Lippin-
colts. The s 1900, 900 which made it
possible Tor Washington to carry on
the campaign against Lord Cornwall
lis, was raised entirely upon his own
personal security. For the most trying
eight years of our history this noble
man stood at the monetary helm OF our
government and guided 1t through
many perils. Years after. in his old
age, unfortunate land speculation
ruined him. His creditors demanded
immediate payment. His country could
have saved Morris by paying back a

in its time Of need. This was not done.
To our lasting disgrace, he was thrown

An amusing instance Of unconscious
soliloquy during a tete a tete with a
lady is told Of the famous physician,
DR.. Friend. II was in the old conviv-
ial days, and the doctor was sum-
moned one evening from a rather too
festive board to the bedside Of a lady
patient. He felt her pulse 'secundem
artem," but for the life Of him could
not count its beats. Drunk by jove!"
he soliloquized, and pulled himself to-
gether sufficiently to order some harm
less mixture. His delight may be i'm
agined when the next morning. in
stead OF IN indignant dismissal from
further attendance. he received from
his patient a confession that he had d.
agnosed her complaint quite correctly.

The French state railroads issue
stamps for the prepayment of charges
on freight shipped in moderate guam
titles. The shipper buys the stamps
and sticks them on the freight bill
which he hands in with the freight.
These are used by those who make fire.
quent small shipments to certain large
towns the charges on which are famil-
lar to them. The stamps are of six
different denominations, fro1 / cent
to 40. They are so satisfactory that
the six great companies arc about to
adopt them.

Imitation Wood CarYinxa.

The Germans are initiating wood
carvings in plaster, bronze and other
material by a new process which is
said to be superior to all other meth
DDS in the fact that it produces per-
fectly the fibres and pores of the wood
models. These are usually made Of
porous oak, and the new plan is to
cover them quite thickly with a So
luton Of 2 per cent collodion. which.
when 1t dries, leaves the usual porous
Of the wood unaltered,
while 1t renders the model oil proof.
The casting Is then proceeded with in
the usual way.

Evils Of AntIpxrine.

The use of antipyrine for the relief

COMFORT WHILE TRAVELLING.
Littlo Things That Make = Long Journey
Lose FatiEuing.

When one is about to start on a jour
ney that will take several hours it is
well to thoroughly equip ones self that
one may be as comfortable as possible.
Especially is this necessary when there
are little children to consider as well
as older persons. Above all things, be
sure to provide yourself with a drink
ing cup. for 1t is far from attractive
to think of drinking from the same cup
as is used by n one who chances
along. Next in Importance is a small
bottle OF good but plain Cologne water.
A soft face cloth may be wrapped
around this, and when tired and dusty
from the heat gently battle the face
with the Cologne water, and you Will
be greatly surprised to find how cool
n comfortable you will feel. A small
fan that runs into a hollow stick. and
which takes but little room in your
bag, should be the next article to find
a resting place. Some pins. a spool Of
thread and some needles and a few but
tons will possibly be found useful, es-
pecially where there are children. II
one Is made i'll by the motion of the
train a bottle of lavender salts will
often relieve the headache. For this
purpose it is also well to carry a few
sailed or other plain crackers, for the
illness is often caused by an empty
stomach. The breakfast has possibly
been hastily eaten, or perhaps but a
cup of coffee has been taken. Toward
lunch time one will experience a rack
ing headache. Before the headache be-
comes established the cracker should
be eaten and the headache will prob
ably disappear. Do not attempt to
carry any great amount of money with
you, but place the bulk Of it in a cham
OILS bag that may be securely fastened
around your neck under the dress. A
sufficient sun to meet immediate wants
may be carried in the bag. A night
dress should certainly be placed in the
hand satchel, for trunks have been
known to go astray.-New York Sun.

Mr.. l. M. CONFESS of the Saratoga
