A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Dead Johnny's Sister After All His
Christmas Presents.


Missionaries to faroff lands, and
especially those who have labored
among people whose principal arti-
Gle of diet is rice, are apt to refer
to their lukewarm converts as 'rice
Christians" because the converts 80
termed care much more for the ma
terial than the spiritual food that
the missionaries dispense. Some
thing of the same spirit animates
Christians, young and old, in this
corner of the world, particularly at
holiday time, and among the youn-
ger element when Christmas trees
and gifts are in order. The story
told recently by a Sunday school
teacher is an illustration.
A couple of weeks before Christ
mas one of the small boys in this
teachers class contracted pneumo-
MIA and died. He was much be-
loved, and his death was felt by his
classmates and the workers in the
school. His name was on the list
for a handsome gift at Christmas,
and the superintendent of the school
decided that it would be graceful
thing, and the boys family would
doubtless appreciate the act, if the
gift set apart for the boy were sent
to his home, to be given to a youn-
ger brother or disposed of as his par
ents thought fit. When the gift
distribution was in progress, a sis
ter of the little fellow, also an at
tendant at the school, was asked to
take his gift home. She received it
in silence and stood around with an
expectant air. At last the teacher
remarked: "What is it you are wait
ing for, Lucy? You have received
your gifts and Johnny's also"
"Y es'm, | know; but doesn't Johnny
get box of candy too?" Johnny's
sister got the candy. - Brooklyn

FOR sHuFFLlNe CARDS.

A card shutting machine has been
invented by L. +. Bellows of Clcve-
land. 1t should make business poor
for crooked card players. The de-
vice is complicated, yet simple in its
action.
The shuffling machine is a metal
box about IL inches high, inches
wide and 6 inches from front to
back. All the mechanism is inside.
The cards are dropped in at the top
and rest on tiny shelf. Below
this there are five small fingers, one
on each of five thin steel blades ex-
tending across the full width of the
machine. When a shutter on the
front is dropped, the shelf falls and
the cards drop upon the blades and
are separated into five little irregu-
lar punches by the fingers. The
blades separate, and one by one
cards drop from the various punches
into a receptacle at the bottom, the
drop being regulated by clock
work mechanism.
There is now way of telling where
any particular card will be found
in the pack after they are shufiled,
The same card, placed on the top
Of the pack, will rarely be found
twice in the same place after the
shuflle.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Sulphurlc Acid For Snake Bites.

Those who fear snakes or live
where snakes are found will find
comfort in the assurance of DR..
John II. Henry of Montgomery that
sulphuric acid is a specific. DR..
Henry says:
"The poison of animals and snakes
is intensely alkaline, and sulphuric
acid taken internally and, injected
hypodermically, diluted or pure, in
the fang puncture Immediately kills
the poison. This discovery was Civ
en- by a gentleman who says he has
been bitten by snakes and insects
over hundred times. This gentle
man takes delight in keeping snakes
in his room running all about. Six
weeks ago he was bitten in the foot
by his big rattler. He Immediately
used hypodermically the acid, and it
did not swell or give him any trou-
BILE. He says he fears no poison of
animal, snake or insect bites if he
has his acid with him" New York

TWO Ouarrelsome Women.

A novel method of suppressing
two quarrelsome women has just
been adopted in Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Day after day they quarreled over
their back fence, and their scold-
ings so annoyed the neighbors that
a sixteen foot fence has been erect
ed between their houses. 1t was put
up the other night by masked men
and warning was posted that it
should not be torn down. The
women were unable to see each 9th
er, but they found hole in the
fence and made remarks through
that. Then a committee waited on
them and said if they quarreled any
more they would be driven out of
town.

Our Excess of Men.

Whatever differences Dame Ma
ture may have intended between the
spheres of influence of men and wo-
men, she evidently intended that
numerically at least the two sexes
should stand on nearly the same
footing. The world over, except
where recognizable and what might
be called artificial causes interfere,
the male and female elements of the
population are about equal.
Curiosity, not to say astonish-
ment, is excited, therefore, by re-
cent announcement Of the census
bureau. The enumeration of 1900
shows that there are more men and
boys than women and girls in this
country and that the difference ex-
ceeds 100000 in a population of
76,303,3S7. The excess appears
more distinctly perhaps when it is
said that there are sig males and
only 48S females in every thousand
people in the United States.--Chi-
cago Tribune.

sixty Dollar overcosts For Soldiers.

Just at present buffalo overcoat
is very scarce article, and yet the
humblest of Uncle Sans soldier
boys may have one of these highly
priced garments for the asking. All
he. has to do is to include the item
in his requisition for supplies, and
the coat will be issued to him, al
though it will still belong to the
government, and if he loses or de-
-stroys it he must pay $50 for his
carelessness.
The coats in the possession of the
war department are relics of the
days when no man living in the
northwest was thought to be prop
erly equipped without buffalo coat.
All of them have been worn, but
they are still in fair condition and
are issued annually to those soldiers
who may want them.-Minneapolis

Got a Big Pearl With His Oysters.

Morgan II. Morgan, file clerk in
the Office of the clerk of the circuit
court, in company with several
friends, lunched in a restaurant at
Clark and Randolph streets, and,
among other things, the entire par
ty partook of fried oysters. Nor
gan picked out a large, juicy one
and was beginning to eat it with a
relish when his teeth grated on a
hard substance.
He removed the object from his
mouth and was about to tell the
waiter that he had not ordered the
oysters to be seasoned with gravel
when his attention was attracted
by the reflection of the light upon
the object he had thrown on the ta-
bic. Investigation showed that it
was a pearl of good size
Morgan put the pearl in his pock-

went to the Office of a lapidary in

was offered $14 for the gem. He

Fiddles Without Hands.

In Atlanta, small town in Hi
nois, lives Frank Clawson, fiddler
whose chief bid for fame lies in the
fact that he is without hands. Sew
eral years ago he was caught in a
blizzard, and both hands were so
badly frozen that they were ampu-
tated at the wrist Being some
what of a mechanical genius, he
evolved a contrivance out of heavy
wire which enabled him to WELD
the bow. The matter of lingering
was more difficult, but by hard prac-
tice he trained the stump of his
left hand to make the necessary
shifts from one string to another
and from position to position. With
the fiddle held in place by his chin
and knees and with the help of his
fingerless arms Clawson manages to
play the old time airs with nearly as
much success as formerly.
