POOL TABLE POCKETS.
They Are Made For the Most Part In
Farmers Houses.

'An odd occupation, surely" said a
man acquainted with the business, us
that of knitting pool table pockets. a
few persons find steady employment at
it, but the greater number of those en-
gagged in it take It up incidentally to
some other employment
"0f all the pool pockets used the lar
gest proportion is made in farmhOuses
by farmers wives and daughters. The
women who do this work are mostly
Germans and Swedes.
pool table pockets are all hand
made. The largest producer Of pool
pockets Is a concern in New York that
employs at this work about thirty fam
HES, these mostly residing on Long Is
land The bundles of material for the
several families thus employed are
made up In the shop and delivered to
them, the finished pockets being at the
same time collected.
THE knitting is done with a needle
twenty inches in length, and the peck

Pool pockets are made Of cotton, OF
wool and of silk. The first are sold for
$1.25 or Whereabouts a dozen. SILK
pockets sell for about SO dozen.
II should say that of all the pockets
made perhaps half are of cotton, three
eighths of wool and one-eighth Of silk.
The pockets are most commonly green.
but they are made In other colors as
well-in maroon, for example, and in
yellow and in blue for tables with
cloths In those colors.

A Curious Chinese Custom.

According to the rule sanctioned by
centuries OF Chinese observance, no
document can have the authority of the
imperial throne of China unless 1t bears
red spot placed there by the sover-
eign. To the grand council the tsung-
n-yamen and all other departments Of
state take their business, and the grand
council In its turn considers all docu-
Inents and attaches to each piece of
red paper on which its own decision is
written. Each morning at daybreak
the grand council proceeds to the pal
ace TO submit the papers to the sover-
elgn, who as each document is pro-
duced signifies approval by making a
small spot with brush on the margin
Of the red paper. With the red spot
upon 1t the paper is the most sacred
thing In the world to Chlnaman; with
out 1t 1t may be torn to shreds with Inn
punity.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Four Footed Bird.

There Is n four footed bird. the Ops
thocomus cristatus, which has such
anomalies of structure that 1t Is i'm
possible to class It along with any 9TH
or family. 1t is one of those survivors
which tell us of extinct groups OF
whose past existence we would other
wise have remained forever ignorant
These, the only species of four footed
birds, inhabit the island of MaraJo in
the lower Amazon. 1t Is only during
infancy that this remarkable feature
of these birds is seen, the two fore feet
appearing early in the development Of
the embryo and continuing perfectly
formed for several days after hatch
ing, when they are gradually shed. 1t Is
also known as the hoactZin or evil
smelling bird. the flesh having an I'M
pleasant odor, making 1t unpalatable
to both man and carnivorous animals,
which is probably one cause OF Its sur

People Who Used to Eat spiders.

The enjoyment OF particular Kinds OF
food Is. after all, matter of custom,
and the African who revels In white
ants Is no more peculiar In his tastes
than the European who cats cheese
mites. A lady whom NJ. Reaumur knew
was accustomed TO deyour spiders as
fast ms she could catch them, and Il
German lady gave 1t as her opinion
that these creatures resembled in taste
the most delicious nuts, A fellow coun-
tryman of this lady was IN the habit OF
regularly hunting spiders in his own
and his friends houses. He used to
spread them on bread, Rozel tells US,
and vowed that they were far pleas
anter to the palate than butter.-Corn-

German Poet Won Zirkler.
That our ancestors were not so well

following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, German
poet, in regard to the conduct Of a host
and his guest at dinner party. These
singular maxlms were recently I'M
earthcd and have now been reprinted:
EVERY host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them.
"a guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, mel

paid for, neither should one take any

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.

quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. By wearing a Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughsand colds, Benson's Plasters
are sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex-
