peka will prove invaluable. to many
people who go through the same daily
experience. This short statement of the
relief obtained from far too prevalent
annoyances should convince the great

A SLIP OF THE TONGUE.
Bull Made by Senator Frye While
Presiding Recently.

Slips of language now and then oc-
cur in the senate to lend amusement
to the usually digniied proceedings
of that august body Of Legislators.
Recently Senator Frye, president pro
tenn of the senate, when presiding,
desired to dispose of the Vest resolu-
ton providing for free, anthracite
coal by referring it to the committee
on finance, says the Washington Star.
The purport Of this resolution was
carried in the legislation recently
adopted placing anthracite on the
free list without restriction, so that
the Vest resolution could serve no
purpose by continuing to retain its
privileged place before the senate.
The chair on such occasions either
asks unanimous consent to refer the
resolution or asks if there is objection
to its reference. Senator Frye ad-
dressed the senate, saying:
as there unanimous consent to re-
ferring the Vest resolution TO the
committee on inance?"
He looked over the senate and
there being no response continued,
under the impression that he had
asked if there was any objection to
the proposition:
"The chair hears none, and the res
olution is so referred"

Congressman Moon, Of Tennessee,
was once a Judge in that state. The
states attorney of his district was lax
in attention to duty, but endeavored
to make it up in talk and impressive
ness Of manner. One day the district
attorney arose to speak on a collateral
question. "Your honor" said he, 81
should like careful attention, for |
am going to talk hard common
sense" Judge Moon turned to the
sheriff and said: "Mr. Sheriff, please
preserve the strictest order so the bar
and spectators may hear everything
the attorney says, for he promises to
give us a most radical innovation"

RAILWAY TABLES.
Novel Method of Teaching Geography
Used by One Teacher.


81 never realized the value Of time
tables until / got hold Of a class Of
boys old enough to study geography"
said Albert S. Ransom, a New York
school teacher.
$50 far as the study of maps goes
l can get better results from the use
of time tables than all the geogra-
phies in the market. Maps that have
. been prepared for the purpose of Gull
tivating the youthful mind in the
matter of locality are Stunned as
bugbears by all except the studious
few. But just set dozen boys around
a pile Of time tables and tell them to
locate certain cities, towns, lakes and
rivers, and they will work like beav-
ers and come out letter perfect every
time. For most children time tables
and the accompanying maps are a
source Of unending delight, both in
and out of school hours.
at is true that this unorthodox
method may give the boys an exag-
gerated idea as to the Importance of
certain railroads, but they seem to
get enough good out Of the investi-
CATION to counteract such impress
sions." Washington Star.

The father of Gerater New York,

belongs to DR.. ". o. Mcdowell and
was first used in the tavern at the cen
tennial anniversary Of the inaugura-
ton of George Washington as presi-
dent, April 80, 1889. On that occa-
sion the National Society Of Sons Of
the American revolution was organ
lied. 1t was due to DR.. Mcdowell that
this organization included daughters
as well as sons. The same gayel was
used a year later, when the cd. A. R.
S." were formed into a separate soci-
ety. III has presided at these cele-

boards OF Notorious Australian Bush
rangers Await the Lucky Finder.
There can be no doubt that therei is
a discovery in Australia. In the fiji
ties many lucky gold diggers, return
ing from Ballarat and Bendigo, were
robbed, and sometimes murdered by
the %bushranging desperadoes of the
period. A number Of government es-
corts-coaches laden with large con-
signments Of gold, and accompanied
by mounted troopers-were also over
powered by these lawless gangs. Only
a comparatively small amount Of this
treasure was recovered. One notori-
u bushranger, Capt. Melville, ina
tive Of Nottingham, boosted on his
deathbed in the Melbourne jail that
he had 100000 worth of treasure so
cleverly planted" that nobody would
ever be able to find it. More than 40
years have passed since his death, and,
although there have been many
searchers between Geelong and Bal
larat, the scene of the captains opera
tions, his treasure still remains undis-
covered. The other day dying Grim
inal confessed that he was concerned
in the robbery of a gold escort from
Ballart in the ffties, and that the
plumber was PLANTED" under the
floor of a restaurant in Geelong. The
place is now a printing Office, and the
police are engaged in digging opera

FISHING AREA GOING NORTH
To Iceland the Eyes of European
Fishermen Are Turning.

Fishermen Are Turning.
A Danish navy officer, who had Just
returned from Iceland, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, states that the Dan
ish government has observed that the
fishing area is moving northward, ow-
ing to the large and destructive catch
in waters adjacent to the Scandina-
Wan countries, and has, therefore, un-
dertaken a survey of waters near the
Farce islands, Iceland, and the re-
gions in the vicinity Of the polar cir
Gle. This work is conducted by the
navy. 1t has been discovered thatim
mense quantities of fish, especially
cod and herring, are to be found in
those waters.
On a recent trip the Danish ship
DANA sometimes plowed through
shoals of these varieties for long dis
lance, when they could be scooped up
without any fishing tackle. New
banks were discovered, some of them
Of great extent. These appear to be
new homes for the fish, and they pos
sess the necessary requisites for feed
ing them and rearing their young.
The eyes Of English, French, Ger
man and Norwegian fishermen have
been turned to Iceland, and they are
beginning to 60 there in large num-
berS for the purpose Of participating
in the catch. Salmon fisheries are be-
ing exploited in the country, plans are
on foot fer establishing large cannirg
factories along the rivers, and Eng
l4ishmen and Americans are taking an
interest in this project.

IGNORANCE AMONG SMOKERS.
Imagination a Large Element in the
Enjoyment Of the Weed.

Enjoyment of the Weed.
Its a strange thing that so many
smokers cannot tell the difference be-
tween a clear Havana. a seed Ha-
vana or a domestic cigar said cigar
dealer in a local hotel to a Washing
ton Star man the other morning.
"That man, for instance, couldn't;
you can tell by the way he pulled at
his weed, not stopping to taste it at
ell. There's a certain amount of i'm
agination about smoking with lots of
people. For instance, a customer of
mine, a literary man, who is a queer
chap, who wants to smoke a good CT
gars for five cents, brought me some
cigars the other day and asked me to
tell him what sort of tobacco they
were made Of. He said he had gotten
them cheap from a Cuban who told
him they we're clear Havana, Struggled
in. didn't like to tell him what they
were, not because | was afraid Of be-
ing wrong, but because it's bad policy
to tell a customer he has been stuck.
He doesn't think SO much of you
afterward. But this man urged me,
and | split the cigars, and found, as l
expected, that the filler was a pot
pot-pourri of domestic odds and ends.
| put the wrappers to the water test,
and they were not Havana, which is
much more nearly water proof, so to
speak, than otherleaves. told him
what | found, and he said: 4 don't
like those cigars oyermuch, anyway,
but they did very well as long as l
thought they were good ones. Now
l know what they are, l shall not
smoke any more of them"

his fireman TO jump, but the next instant
his locomotive had plowed through the
middle of the freight. The force of
the collision hurled the express loco
