He Needed the Money.

A well-known local character, who
never had cent of money that any
one knew about, and whose sole OBJ
ject in life appeared to be the ac-
cumulation of liquid refreshments,
recently approached candidate for
office, and in his rich Irish brogue,
supported with fair quality of Jag"
remarked:
Jimmie, me boy, it's me that's
glad to see We roonin' fer Office, and
Dim goin' tn work hard to see We

Oh always did loike We, Jimmie-ye
young spalpeen ye-and it's me that
nivir wint back on a frind. And, jim
mic, what's more"
Here he leaned over to one of
"Jimmie's" ears and whispered mys-
teriously:
"Begobs, Dim goin' to spind me

that Jimmie ''loosened. Milwaukee

Richest Nation In the WorId

The richest nation in the world pro-
portionately is not Great Britain, not
fat little Holland, not even the United
States. For the greatest average in
dividual wealth we must look to the
Australian commonwealth. Last year
the total value of the products of the
colonies forming the Australian COM
mOnwealth amounted to fully $780,
000,00 of which their pastoral indus
tries represented $3.50, 900, their ag.
ricultural $14O,O0O,O0O, their mineral
products fully $1OO,OO0OOO and their
manufacturing and other industries
the remaining S16O, 100000. The wool
alone from the 100. 100000 sheep raised
in 1900 was worth 500, 100000. The
mineral resources of Australia cannot
even be guessed at. In the last As
years the country has produced gold
to the value of 81, 500. 000, 900, in the last
20 silver to the value of $780, 600
Diamonds are found in one district,
rubies in another. There is at least
one emerald mine in New South Wales
and opals equal to any in the world are
found in Queensland, while the pearl
fisheries of the northwestern coast
produce a considerable portion of the
most valuable pearls of commerce.

The legislature has rebuked those
Texans who, on the occasion of
the New York business mems
visit to Texas, criticised some Of
the state laws. Aud what becomes
of the right of free speech? Those
men may have been wrong in their
opinion, but they surely had a
right 10 express 1t, if they felt SO
inclined. Ii the laws made by the
legislature are to be held above
criticism, then Texas ought to be
particular hereafter to elect law
makers who shall be infalIble.

Reignins Families, Poor Rein.

None of the reigning families of
Europe are peculiarly graceful horse
men, with the possible exception of the
emperor of Austria. Emperor William
and the duke of Connaught have been
singularly unlucky in the matter of
bad falls. The late ear was particu-
larly unskilled hOrseman, and it is said
that some uncomplimentary remarks
of the German emperor on his riding
which were repeated to him were the
primary cause of the GOODNESS which
existed between the German and Rus
sian courts in 1890. In this respect the
present ear resembles his father
y. Y. Sun.

anees of | c latter gathered around and expressed their regret that sucb an ir,. suit should have been offered him. We tEcn continued our play, and NJ. ae Mertens soon after left the club. Ihfee days passed, and 1 heard noth. Ing more of the young man. In shield.

Clean CooI,inr Vessels.

Give al cooking vessels an occasional hot soda bath to keep them pure and sweet. I'ut them over the fire in a large boiler of water, with one ounce uf soda to each gallon, and boil for twenty minutes This is an excellent way to clean enamcled ware. Ii by accident food burns in such Ware, do not make the mistake of trying to straHc it off Instead cover the bottom of the vessel with wood ashes, fill 1t with cold water and boil for a little while If badly burned, it may be nee eSsarv tn repeat the nrocnse
 Iu clean the Kitchen knives nothing gives better results than powdered brick dust applied by means of raw potato cut in halves.
 To keep coffee and tea pots sweet and clean. in addition to the ;horoug1 scalding each time after using, occ2- sionally throw into them q cupfal cf wood ashes or some powdered borax, fill with cold water and bring slowly to a boil. Empty and SCOUT well with bot water and pure clean coap, using a brush, never a dishrag. Then scald several times. Many time the deli cate flavor of a cup of tea or coffee Is ruined by a ilusty pot.
