Mr.. Bangs must have intended to suggest

The lover killed tho husband. but said that
IL was in self-defence As that happened

vague. Even IL Miss Short had worded
IL indistinctly We would have known what
It was about. The good old plot had been

same man, and one killed herself to give him

be rather ridiculous, so carefully were
they prepared for. The moon came up as

We knew earlier that she was going to Kill
herself because the danger OF taking an
overdose from a medicine bottle was point

deserted girl spread it over herself to die

examples, fiction for the stage has not adj

1t was at the Normal school that this
happened, and the class laughed. 1t
was q laugh on the teacher, too, but
he didn't get angry, although 1t did
break into the serious contemplation of
serious studies with which he was try
ing to interest the students.
1t was in the study of psychology,
and they We're discussing what ideas
firstientered the human mind when GER
tain words were spoken or written
whether the mind thought of one GER
tain object designated by the word or
tire whole general class which is en-
bodied in that word. To experiment
on this mental phenomenon in order to
bring it more clearly to the attention
of the students the professor said he
would write a word ON the board and
then let one of them tell instantly what
impression was made upon her mind.
He called upon one of the pupils to
be ready to think quickly and tell ex-
actly what her first thought was after
she saw the word which he was about
to write. He stood close to the board,
so that the word was hidden by his
shoulders until he turned. He wrote
the word pig" and all of the class
saw it except the girl who was stand
ing ready to make reply. When he
turned, he didn't get out of her way,
and she couldn't see the word. In re-
ply to his sharp, quick question, Now,
what do you seer" she replied naively,

Winding Timepiecea.

81 have been doing little figuring
on time" remarked an cratic citizen
yesterday, land have reached some
rather interesting conclusions. I want
ed to find out how much time man con-
sumed In keeping tab on time, and l
found that, If the whole world Is con-
sidered in the computation, years
would be crowded into a second of
time.
"TO illustrate what 1 mean, take
city where 100000 watches are wound
up every day. Now, it takes probably
an average of Is seconds to wind a
watch. 1t would take, then, 100000
seconds to wind 100000 watches. This
would mean $4,000 minutes or $50
hours and 10 minutes, or 20 days and
TO hours. l suppose there are in the
city of New Orleans 100000 watches
and clocks to be wound up every day,
so that nearly month is spent in the
city every day in winding watches and
clocks.
Zone man in years time would con-
sumo 5,475 seconds in winding his
watch If he is prompt about it and is
willing to give 10 seconds every day
to this useful article. This would
mean several hours during every year
that he kept up the practice. Allowing
35 years as the average life, a man
would spend 1,525 seconds, or $3.50
minutes and Al seconds, or $50 hours
and 10 minutes, or % days and 20
hours, in winding his watch.

A Startling Sermon.

Once when Father Honore, cele-
brated Capuchin of the seventeenth
century, was preaching on the vanity
Of the world he suddenly produced a
skull, which he held up to view.
Speak he cried. Were you not per-
haps the head of a magistrate? ST.
lence gives consent" Then, clapping
upon the skull the cap of judge, he
continued: "Ah, ha! Hast thou never
sold justice for gold? Hast thou never
been snoring many times during hear.
ing, ETC.? How many magistrates have
sat under the fieurs-de-lis only to put
virtue at a disadvantage
Casting aside the skull, he held up
another, which in like manner he ad-
dressed, "Wast thou not perhaps the
skull of one of those beautiful ladies
who occupy themselves only with
catching hearts after the manner of
bird catching" Then, arraying it in
a headdress, he continued: "Ah, ha,
Empty head! Where are those lovely
eyes which cast such fascinating
glances, that pretty mouth which shap-
ed such gracious smiles, that made so
many unhappy ones to weep In hell?
Where are those teeth which chewed
upon so many hearts only to make
them more tender for the devils eat
ing?" and so on, bringing forth skull
after skull and appropriately decking
them TO receive his reproofs.

Bradley Believes He Is the Creditor.

Former United States Marshal Frank
P. Bradley is much surprised at the &C
ton OF the government in bringing suit
against him to recover 5000 and $7OO on
an alleged shortage. At the time he
went out of office Mr.. Bradley had
claims against the government for fees
and expenses amounting to several thou
sand dollars. He had placed the mat
ter in the hands of Attorney s. S. Eth
elidge of Des Moines with instructions
to bring suit in the court OF claims at
Washington, hoping that this action on
his part would bring about an adjudica-
ton OF the differences between him and
the Department OF Justice. Immediate
ly that he was appraised of the suit
brought here Mr.. Bradley deposited in
bank at Audubon 800 to be held by
Charles Van Gorder, banker of that
town, for the protection OF his bonds
men until such time that the suit
against him by the government is set
tied. Mr.. Bradley believes his claims
against the department are valid and
that when the matter is Investigated by
the court Of claims in Washington they
will be allowed.-Omaha Bee.

Neither tea nor coffee is drunk in the
Gilbert islands, but liquor named kar-
afee, or toddy. 1t is the juice of the
cocoanut tree, from which 1t Is drawn
daily at sunrise and sunset. To OBJ
tain 1t the natives climb up the tall
trees and while extracting 1t keep up
constant yelling to let those below
know that they are at work. The sap
when fresh is a harmless and delicious
beverage, but after it has been kept a
day or two fermentation sets in, and 1t
becomes intoxicating. Karafee does
not, however, fly to the head, but a
man who drinks it to excess loses the
control of his legs. However, when
this befalls a native he has sense
enough to remain indoors and shows
his face to no one, for If his chief
should ever hear of 1t he would be tried
and sentenced to hard labor and a
heavy fine.

Another week of intense heat and sew
ere drought must be added to this excep.
ional season. The maximum tempera-
lures have ranged from 100 to 1903, on
four to five days in numerous localities
and the general excess has been to 8
degrees in the daily means. The air
has been excessively dry as well as hot
with occasional brisk winds adding to
the intensity Of the drought. On the ev-

eastern quarter Of the state was favored
by refreshing showers, which brought
temporary relief in the dryest part Of the
state.
The hay crop has been saved in the
best condition. Harvesting has been
quite general in the prematurely ripen-
ed fields, with variable results as to the
quality OF the crop; but generally the
small grain crops will be below standard
weight and less than average yield. Po-
tatoes, pastures and garden truck of all
kinds have suffered greatest damage.
Reports as to the corn crop indicate
that 1t has suffered some injury within
quite limited areas, but the bulk of the
crop, in at least four. fifths of the state,

Finally he had so cents boarded. TAX

The Inventor of the FIGURING Mill.

About the year 10 b. G. Mithridates,
king of Cappadocia, one Of the most
ingenious and able princes of the time,
invented the first mill driven by water.
This triumph of his skill and ingenuity
he caused to be erected in the imme-

the course of time the Cappadocian
bakers became celebrated and were in
great demand throughout all parts of
the world as then known.
These mills were usually placed up
on boats on the river, being so elevated
and contrived as to be easily driven by
the water and the millers were thus
enabled to move from place to place,
distributing the meal to their custom

upon certain passages of Scripture" re-

story of one clergyman who went to
call on a woman whose husband had

the burden of her sorrow and was
greatly surprised when she greeted him
with a very happy smile and ushered
him into the parlor.

very badly indeed. But l came across
a verse of Scripture which comforted
me very much indeed

scenery are aware that here they are at
the headquarters of Europe's ice sup

country the continent looks for ice.
The ice is of the finest quality, for the
lakes are of crystal clear water, high

is controlled by syndicates.
After having been cut into great
squares by plows the blocks of ice are
