A BYGONE BADGE OF THRIFT.
when Did the Habit of Mailing In
surance Signs on HouEcS stop.

One by one the old fashioned things are
falling away until the middle aged man of
today can find very little left to remind
him of his boyhood days. 1t used to be
the habit years ago for fire insurance com
panies to label the house on which they
had taken a risk. 1t was matter of pride
for the householder to have small en-
bossed metal sign on which was stamped
in gilt letters, ''Niagara' or Aetna or
something of the sort tackled on the gable
end OF his porch. 1t was an indication
that he was a business man and took life
seriously. One rather pitied in those days
the family of the man on whose house
there was no insurance sign. 1t indicated
that the head of the house was probably
not q good provider" and unthrifty.
One day last week a man was walking
from his home to his place of business. He
looked at the houses as he passed with idle
curiosity. He stopped suddenly in his
walk, arrested by small metal sign on
house porch. The house was built of an
cicnt bricks 1t was clearly old fashioned
80 old fashioned that the little insurance
sign, from which the gilt had long ago
been washed by the weather, had not been
taken down. Its discovery recalled the
fact to the man that the bygone fashion of
insurance signs on houses had stopped
without his having noticed it, and he won
dered how long ago it had been and if it
had been gradual or sudden and why he
had not noticed it before
But it is a fact. This little badge OF
thrift has gone out of usage probably be-
cause fire insurance has become so ncces-
sary and common that it is not worth
while to call the attention of the world to
the fact that you are protected against loss
if your house burns.-kansas City Star

The Rain Tree of Ferro Island.

The island of Ferro is one of the largest
In the Canary group, and it has received
its name on account of its iron bound soil,
through which no river or stream flows.
In the midst of the island there grows a
tree known as the raining tree, the leaves
of which are long and narrow. 1t contin-
ucs in constant verdure winter and sum
mer, and the branches are covered with a
cloud which is never dispelled, but, re-
solving itself into a moisture, causes to
fall from its leaves a very clear water in
such abundance that cisterns placed at its
foot to receive it are never empty.-La-

THE NEWSPAPER GRABBER."
A Hotel Gaest. Who Is Tolerated For
what He Spends Mt the Bar.


do you see that mani" asked the hotel
clerk, nodding toward an elderly well
dressed man who sat in one Of the easy
chairs with an air Of proprietorship which
would lead any one to suppose that he was
. star guest.
That's one OF our regular customers
Eo comes hero every morning regularly
and reads the papers and writes his let
tiers. He is n rich man and thinks moth
ing OF spending 81 at the bar, but he never
buys a newspaper. He sits around and
'rubbers' until some one gets up and
leaves his paper ON the chair; then he
makes dash for it and begins to read.
But be is never SO deeply interested that
he misses other papers US they are left be-
hind, and unless there are too many of his
competitors on the spot be usually gets
three or four papers every morning
The clerk said that the same class Of
customers may DO found in every large
hotel These men are good representa-
tives OF the class which is willing TO pay
81 to get something that is worth 80 cents
FOR nothing.
These men are known to the hallboys
and other hotel employees as newspaper
grabbers. When they are Objectionable
and bear any resemblance to the bum
class, they are not tolerated, but grabbers
like the old, highly respectable man are
allowed to grab whenever they can.
These people," continued the clerk,
mind their business and often spend so
cents for drinks and cigars while they sit
around waiting to grab cents worth of
papers, and they advertise the house by
sending hundreds Of letters on our station
cry. On the whole, the grabber is not an
Objectionable character, and he would be
surprised to hear that any one knew by
what means he secured his daily papers

Odd Marriage Customs.

An Arab wedding lasts seven days The
husband sees his wifes face after the cere-
mony is over. 1t is then proper for him
to cry out in delight at its loneliness, and
then, as in the Bible, "thc friend of the
bridegroom, who standeth and heareth
him, reJoiceth greatly because of the BRIDE
groom S voice." The people outside the
tent raise an answering cry
In Turkey the bride stands behind a
screen during part of the ceremony and
AS first seen at its conclusion. A Moorish
wedding is also seven day affair.
