Not Above His Business.

Young Brodhead, scion Of a wealthy
family, cherished journalistic ambi
lions, and like a sensible youth, had
resolved to begin at the beginning.
He had applied for and obtained a
position as a reporter or a daily paper
at a moderate salary, where he ives
treated precisely like any other re
porter, Sinking no assignment that
came in his way. and putting on no
airs on account of his wealth or social
standing.
He had not thought 1t worth while,
however, to acquaint the family ser.
wants with the nature of his daily oc-
cupation, and when a fellow reporter
came to his house one day with a mes
sage from the city editor the flunky
in attendance at the front door took
him around the house and brought
him up to the young mans room by
a back stairway.
"Why didn't you show Mr.. Craig up
by way of the front hall?" demanded
young Brodhead.
"He's only a reporter" whispered
the butler.
Imagine the dignified flunkH's horror
when his master responded in an audi
BILE voice:
"Im only a reporter myself, you
donkey!"-Youth's Companion.

FIom one parent society branches have
| sprung up, until every State in the
Union is represented with regularly
enrolled Presidents. When a State has
ten branches, each n consisting of at
least ten members, it becomes entitled
to a State President. Besides the
various States and Territories Of the
United States, there are also branches
in foreign countries. At the beginning
of each year a new rollbook is opened,
which contains the names of all who
have paid their annual dues.
The membership fees are not oner-

ton that will bring sunshine" to
some Of the members Of the society.
For instance, exchange Of books, pa
pers, pictures, etc; ideas that may be
utilized to advantage in the sick room;
work or employment that "a be fol"
lowed by a "shut-in"; fancy work;
holiday suggestions; sending flowers;
a general exchange Of ideas beneficial
to the members.
The Board of Directors Is greatly
pleased by the fact that an increasing
number of members are, Of their W
accord, choosing to let the kind acts
that constitute their dues take the
form of regular contributions to the
endowment fund, ten, twenty-five or
wen more. The International Sun
shine Society has never asked for
money, and it's officers serve without
pay, but the passing on of articles
sent by members requires cash for
stamps and expressage.
One of the strongest organizations
in the society is the New York State
Division, of which Mrs. William Tod
Helmuth is the energetic President.
The Vice-President is Mrs. Nellie E.

plans originated by her are adopted by
sister State Divisions.

Russian naval experts have been ex'
p~erimenting In the Finland Gulf with
charged Whitehead torpedoes-a move,
and costly method OF scientific naval
inquiry not likely to be initiated on
an extensive scale. It has been demon
stsated that q shot penetrating q
charged torpedo tube would not de.
tomato the explosive, but only destroy
the motive power Of the p~rojectile by
releasing the compressed air. A heavy
charge Of gun cotton exploded near
the head Of another torpedo caused
wholesale destruction-the missile, shed
containing it, and q number Of sheep
grazing near at hand having been
wiped out. In q subsequent test q
pontoon sheathed with heavy aYrnor.
plate was blown into the air by q
single torpedo directed against the pro-
tecting armor. To thus supplement
theories Of explosives by actual ,prac-
tice of S1150 per torpedo is eaearly a
commendable feature Of original naval
research.

A Russian colony has been estab-
tished in Ellis County, Kansas, on a
peculiar basis. The land Ia sold not
for cash, but for a given number of
bushels of wheat. The buyer agrees to
SOW a given number of acres In wheat
each year and one-half of the crop
goes to the seller of the land until the
obligation Is satisfied. No interest is
charged. The buyer may, according to
his enterprise and industry, pay for
the land In two or three years. or, In
the event Of successive years Of crop
failures, the clearing Off of the debt
may be postponed for eight or ten
years more. Whenever the crop falls,
the seller gets nothing. The colony
now numbers 1000. and an immense
area Of land has changed hands in the
county on these conditions, which are
easy to the buyer and profitable to
the seller.

investigation soon developed the fac
ehat the Waste-basket was the ultimate
destination Of most of the cards re
ceiyed. Some spent a few months
tackled on the wall, until fyspecked
and discolored; others were used as
bookmarks until %1op-eared; then all
were thrown away without having
given an additional ray of sunshine tc
any n beyond the immediate recip.
aent.
Suppose you take the history Of one
pretty ten-cent card that came to me q
year ago." said the President-G eneral
"It had an exquisite little poem on it,
and I enjoyed 1t so much that I thought
at once of an old uncle who would ap.
preciate 1t, and forwarded it to him.
He, as / thought he would, did enjoy
It, and SO much that he Immediately
recalled another old friend to whom it
would appeal with special force. So
he copied the poem and sent the card
ON. This recipient found the sentiment
SO sweet that she, too, felt called upon
to pass IL on, and before the seven
days holiday was oyer the card had
carried its Christmas message to six
different people,"
Inspired with this idea Of sending
out remembrances that might be null
tiplied fourfold, a new set of cards
was given by the staff to the Presi-
dent-General, who Immediately sent
them all out again. The thanks re-
ceiyed for those cards were SO pretty
that an item was made of 1t in the
paper. This caused further CORE
epondence, and resulted in a club for
the exchange Of friendly greetings.
This was formed In February, 1890.
The name "Chat" wassat first chosen
for the column, but In time the mem
bership grew so large that a club badge
and the motto "Good Cheer" were Sc
lected, and the name "Shut-In'' given
- the society.
On January Is. 1896, the name Of the
society was changed to the Sunshine
Society.
This change was made because OF
conflict with q shut-in society organ
ICED in 1854. Changing the word SAut-
In to Sunshine did Lot Interfere with
The club motto or pin.
The object Of the society is to incite
Its members to the performance Of
kind and helpful deeds, and TO thus
bring the sunshine of happiness into
the greatest possible number OF hearts
and homes.
ITS active membership consists of
the people who are DESTROYS of bright
ening life by some thought, word or
deed.
The club motto, "Good Cheer was

The Germans have little reason tt

Consul at Bremen reports that the Ger.

foreign trade with those countries.
The direct trade with Germany runs
from 100000 to $11,00O.OOO and the
German houses control the other for
