HEARD IN PASSING

Among students Of the stock market it is d saying that the opinion of the average stock exchange member IS worse than none That $ because the views of the man. on the floor are one sided and warped.

 Child murder for the sake of the in surance money has become so preva- lent in Pennsylvania that the insur- .ance commissioner of the state is to ask the legislature ito put an age limit on life insurance. There have been so many suspicious deaths of young children whose lives were insured that action of the kind is imperatively called for. Some years ago England was mortified by the revelation made by an investigation of children,s bene- fit societies. Bridgeport Farmer.

Little rredafe Knew.

The class in reading in a Brooklyn school had come to the phrase "a slender birch tree" and the teacher, not quite sure that the children fully conprahended the meaning of ''slen- der," sought to develop it from fla miliar words. "You all know what stout means, do you not?" she asked. s'Yes'm.'' ''Have you ever seen stout woman?" ssOh, yes'm; Mrs. Brown is very stout" said one girl. Right" said the teacher. Now, look at me! I am not stout, am I?'' "No'm,'' came the chorus of voices. Well, if I am not stout, what am I?'' A perplexed look over spread the faces, Finally one little fellow ventured to raise his hand. 'Well Freddie, do you think Pm stout?" "No'm.'' "Well, then, what would you call me?" Skinny."-N. Y. Tribune.

VAIN CHICKENS.
They Think More of Themselves Than


 Teacocks Do.
 Speaking of chickens, do YOU know am inclined to think the chicken is about the vainest thing there is in the foWl line, said T man who lives i'll Garaolton, aud who has made T rather close study of the feathery tribe, aud think 1 have good reasons for the faith that is il me. We are in the habit Of using the expression, as vain IS q peafowl The DeafowI is of course. very vain. They seem fo an preciate the beauty and magnificence Of their plumage. They strut around with an infinite sort of pride. and they leave no sort Of doubt in a per sons mind as to the existence Of an lnofdinate vanity. Peafowls will ac- fualiy go crazy if you rob them of q few of their tail feathers. and I have observed not q few instances which. substantiated this fact.
 But returning to chickens. I haye 1oUnd them, as 2 rule, Vainer than any other kind Of fowl. have #a rathar in- feresting brood at my place now. and have heen making little stITdy ns the members of tl,e group. They ara now only . few days old. They had not arrived slf the piping stage before | they began to display what I mirbt call pride in the matter Of their nar- sonal appearance. They began ta neck at their wiilgs before they had thar- onshly dried and within few bours After they had left the shell, Tbav began to shake themselves .somewhot after the fashion Of the older chickens when they wallow for while in the dust.
 Chickens. you know. take a dust bath. and then futter their wings and l shake themselves in order to get rid of the dHst. Well these youngsters. be- 1 fore they had been out of the egg three hours, began to go through these mo- 1 t1ons. They began to fix themselves l I'D. l may say. They seemed 10 know instinctivelv that q chicken oughf to ar- range it's toilet. just 9s other things in the broad lSinrdom If life. and so they went about the task.

What more melancholy spec tacle can one find than inc proud roost- or whose plumage has been dampened by a sudden shower?
 l Yes chickens are very vain. and they begin to show signs of their van 1 ity earlv in life. I know of no other fowl that begins primping so early in 1 life as the chicken and I suppose nv exnerience is about the experience of l every other man who has had occasion l to ohserve the conduct of these useful members.

 As might have been expected. Sen ator Beyeridge, after his territorial junket, reported a substitute for the omnibus territorial bill which provides for the admission of Oklahoma. alone. it being tacitly admitted that the req son for refusing admission to the other two applicants is not their unprepared- ness, but the fear that they may add democratic strength in the senate. Senator Quay, who is the champion Of the territories on the republican side of the chamber;.is being attacked from all quarters and 1t is doubtless true that n brother of Senator Penrose. who owns the major portion of the stock in the Commonwealth mine in Arizona, would be most materially benefited by the admission of that territory to states hood Senator Quay admits having written a letter stating that 1t would be better for the territories to return

Music Writing Made Easy.

Mile. Sale was in the eighteenth
century the most accomplished and
fascinating balleteuse at the famous
French Opera. In addition to her other
qualifications, she played and sang
with extraordinary artistic skill and
depth of expression. She once confid-
ed to Rameau, the noted musician,
that her ardent wish was to be able to
compose and asked him to give her
few lessons in the art. Nothing cas-.
Ter in the world" Rameau gallantly re-
piled. He handed her a sheet of pa
per ruled for music and asked her to
take her valuable breastpin and prick
holes in the lines wherever she thought
proper.
After the lady had completed her
task Rameau took the sheet of paper
turned each puncture into a note, de
termined it's length, selected suitable
key, and the thing was done. This re-
markable composition turned out a
lively piece Of dance music, which was
afterward entitled LES Sauvages Dams
les Indies Galantes" and was popular
in France for great number Of years.

Enting Mushrooms.

In the light of modern inquiry there
seems to be no reasan for believing
that mushrooms possess any greater
food value than other ordinary fresh
vegetable foods, and in many respects
they compare unfavorably with them,
says the London Lancet. Still. the
fresh. tender mushroom is undoubted-
ly easily digestible. as it contains car
hohydrates, in addition to some dietet-
ic value. This value is not comparable
with that possessed by essential foods
such as meat. milk and eggs. The
mushroom. however. contains an un,
usual proportion of potassium salts.
Few will deny that the mushroom Is
an excellent adjunct to many dishes,
1t has an appetiZing flavor. and this
quality alone makes 1t dletetically val
nable.

to the probable disastrous effects of the
blizzard which ragged all day Saturday
and yesterday were partially verified in
reports received here yesterday and last
night from points in Nebraska. A re-
markable condition exists in the vicin-
ity Of Ogalalla, where the storm was
more sever than in any other portion
OF the state, except in the northwest
quarter. 1t was expected that the
losses among cattle in hat district
would be enormous, but authentic re-
ports received from several points in
the cattle district affirm that actually
no loss was sustained, the cattle find
ing necessary shelter. Reports from
the northwestern PORTION Of the state
are not so f1attering, however, while
these from Kimball and Banner coun-
ties, h farthermost counties on the
west side of the state, indicate that
heavy losses have occurred.
