CHINAMAN AND THE PEN.
1t Was the First of the Kind He Han
Ever seen, But IL Was No
Puzzle TO Him.

A certain newspaper man who was
inluced to "try" stylographic pen
got it out of order by reckless treat
ment and took it to PENSION for re-
pair The man there soon showed him
that there was nothing serious the
matter with it. the only trouble being
that he had neglected to do some little
thing in using it. Then he began to
take the pen. apart for the newspa-
perman's instruction, SO that he might
see how very simple thing it is, re-
lates the Philadelphia Record.
"Simple!" cried the indignant own
er Of the instrument, sit is as compl-
Gated as a Chinese puzzle! ] don't
wonder that Icannotmake 1T go when
I want toll"
The penman laughed.
"You remind me-" he said, that
there is a Chinaman in this town who
used stylographic regularly. lie
came here to buy one several years
ago, and when / showed 1t to him he
began to take it all apart. ] hurriedly
stopped him, supposing that he would
do II an injury, but he at once put
Gown the value Of the pen, saying that
II was his. and then continued the dis
section Of IL. give you my word that
he handled the pen more deftly than
the man who made IT, and in five min
ntes he had put 1t together again so
hat II worked better than 1t did at
first. Those fellows beat the world at
understanding little details. Now, an
freshman or an Americana beg your
pardon-could never have done that;
and, remember. il was the first pen OF
the kind the Chinaman ever saw.

MARRIAGES INCREASING.
Figures Gathered In England Con-

II Is little surprising to learn that
creasing. In 1900 it stood at 16 per
thousand, which, though below the
rates of 1898 and 1899, is higher than
the rate in any other year since 1875.
This fact should furnish sufficient
answer to such questions as: why

Marriage, SO far from being de-
cadcnt and unpopular institution, Is
more hourishing to-day than it has
been for at least n quarter of cen
fury, says the London News. 1t is in
the Industrial and urban CentcTs that
the marriage rate is highest, Lon.
don leading the way with II per
thousand Of the population. In the
agricultural districts marriages are
relatively fewer, falling to 1l.9 per
thousand in Rutlandshire Although
the majority OF marriages continue
TO be performed IN the Anglican
church, the proportion is not SO
great as formerly. There were 257,
$50 marriages in England and Wales
in 1900, and 672 per thousand were
solcmnizcd by the Church of Eng

TROPICS ARE AT OUR DOOR.
Americans Are Large Consumers Ot
the Products Of Warmer Chimes
and Have Them Handy.

Americans live better, perhaps, than
the people of any other part of the
world. They are not content with the
products Of their own country, but
draw largely upon the tropics for con
diments and delicacies that add to the
pleasures of the table. The increase
in the contributions Of the tropics
to the daily life Of man has been gen
eral throughout the countries where
prosperity or an activity in manufac-
turing and commerce is the rule, but
IT. seems to be especially marked in the
United States. which now imports
more than 81 900, 600 worth Of tropical
and subtropical foodstuffs and raw
materials every day in the year. The
increased reliance upon the tropics is
probably greater, proportionately
in the United States than in most other
countries, since a much larger share
Of our sugar IS drawn from the trop-
les than Is the case with other, and es-
pecially the European countries. which
in most eases now produce their own
sugar from beets
The United States has during re-
cent years consumed nearly onc-half
OF the cane sugar Of the world which
enters into international commerce,
and more than one-half of the coffee
of the world. IL the year just ended
the importations of goods usually con-
sidered as OF tropical or subtropical
production amounted to 800, 100000,
or considerably more than $l.O0O,000
for every day in the year including
Sundays and holidays. while 30 years
ago they amounted to but $143 600, 900,
or less than 100000 per day.

COUNTING THE STARS.
witch Clerks Three Years to
Complete.

Two clerks at the observatory at
Greenwich are cssaying the extraor-
binary task Of counting the stars.
They are attempting in all serious
ness n feat which has always been
used satirically to typify the impos-
sible. So far they have counted 2l2,-
50T stars which, X astronomical cal
culations be correct, is about one-ff-
teer u Of the totaS number TO be
found in the armament, states the
Philadelphia North American
The method Of the tabulation Is n
new evidence Of the far-reaching sci
entihc possibilities OF photography.
The enumcrators do not sit out in
the starlight, and strive to count the
infnltesimal spots Of light outlined
against the blue background. In
stead, they have made a great pho
Geographic chnrt Of the heavens. This
chart consists Of number Of plates
exposed at different times in order
to get al the planets and heavenly
bodies.
After the entire chart was com
plctc the two astronomers began the
work Of counting with the aid Of mi
croscOpcs. IT Is estimated that be-
fore the task Is completed some
three years must clapsc, for TO in
sure accuracy the greatest care must
be exercised, and any attempt AT
speed is out Of question.

DROPPING OF A PENNY.
other Passengers In street Car Usual
Iy More Interested la Its Fate
Than the Owner.

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts, even if it is only
q single cent? The next time that
You sec copper coin dropped in a
street car just observe, advises the
Chicago Tribune. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will be manifest
ed real general concern over its
recovery. Two or three heads are
likely TO come in contact over the
point of It's disappearance, and then
the owners will draw suddenly back
and try to appear uncoruerncd; but
in another second they are again
leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears TO have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant
coin will be seen.
When he has gone there is a re-
newed interest among the passengers
for the stage Of flinders keepers"
has arrived, and those near the spot
Of disappearance become quite dill
gent until they are aware they make
n center of attraction. But interest
in that little coin is not lost while
there is n passenger left, and when
the car Is empty the conductor takes
his turn and resurrects the cent.
