l.ono-Lived Birds,

The goose is not the only bird
which has a reputation for longevity.
When asked as to the age attained by
birds, Prof. A. S. Packard, professor OF
zoology at Brown university, said: ~
wish I could give you some exact data
as to the longevity of the goose, but
cannot find any. Some species OF
bird reach a great age. Eagles and
crows live to be 100 years. old. Par

Why Little Girl Thought Few Would

Be Eligible.
A small girl who lives in an elegant
home on Central Park West has
troubled her mother very much by
her very careless regard for the truth
One day her mother had very serious
talk with the little daughter, and
ended up by telling her that liars coulG
not so to Heaven. The small daughter
reflected for a time and then said
Mamma, do you ever tell lies?"
Certainly not" replied her mother
Sudden: recollections sweeping across
her mind, she hesitated' and added:
''Sometimes,. of course, when it is
impossible for me to see people,
send down word that am not at
hos-e. But that sis merely to --keeI
from hurting their feelings. It is not
lying.
That night when her father came
home she said bluntly:
Papa, do you ever tell lies?''
"Certainly not" replied her father
with establishment and some indigna
ton. Then he began to fdget little
anu after awhile added: "Of course
when I'm selling goods 1 can't always
tell all I know about them. It's the
other fellows business to know what
kind Of goods they are. That isn't
lying though; that's just business"
The small girl reflected again, and
after mature consideration, spoke.

This is the Latest Disease,

Fanitis is the latest malady to at
tack the human race. 1t is a disease
to which only civilized people are
subject. Moreover; it is prevalent in
summer, and persons who frequent
summer gardens and cafes are liable
to be numbered among it's victims. It
is nothing more than an ordinary cold
or neuralgia produced by the drafts
created by electric fans. Neverthe-
less, physicians in spirit of humor
have chosen to give it semi-scientific
name, and many practitioners are con.
fident the malady under it's new
nomenclature will prove as popular

Good Coal in South Africa.

Secretary Jonees of the British
South Africa company, who recently
visited Rhodesia, speaks of the *'inex'
haustible supply of coal' which the
advent of the railway to the Wankie
coal fields will SOON throw open. He
estimates the initial output of the
Wankie colliery at 300 tons, daily, and
declares that as soon as the railway
makes the transport of heavy ma
chinery possible this will be increased
to 1000 tons. With the exception of
the best Welsh coal there is, in Mr..
Jones' opinion, no better steam coal
In the world than the product Of Wan.
kie With the gold-mining industry of
Rhodesia people are more or less IA
miliar, but it is not so we'll known
that copper, zinc al b other mineral
deposits abound in that region. Mr..
Jones further states that the pros
poets of agriculture are exceedingly
hopeful and that facilities now exist
for the employment of modern farm
machinery.

Option on a majority of the canal
boats in good condition now operating
on the Erie canal have been secured
by representatives of the Inland
Transportation company of New York,
which, if the consent of the legisla-
ture can be secured, intends to put
into effect new system of canalboat
propulsion. T.
The canal fleet, which once num-
bered 1000 boats, has dwindled now
to about 700 servlceable vessels, and
of these only about 400 are fit to carry
grain. If the promoters of the new
scheme can get a permit from the
state to use their system on the
canals, it is their purpose to acquire
all the boats that are available, al
though the towing system will be open
to all canal boat owners at a price
which will be far lower than the cost

Quick, of speech, naughty and over

cision in a way which almost inyar-
ably commanded respect even though
it failed to carry conviction. But the
penalty which he paid for success in
his career, was q heavy one. His
disposition was sirretrievably ruined.
He had become habitually sarcastic. A
player on whom three strikes had just
been called was speaking up with all
the enthusiasm of man who realized
that this is a free country and the
voice of the people as it ascends from
the bleaching board is on his side.

gagged in a number of places. BY this
device the strain on the chain is also
distributed over the structure of the
power boat. This enables the machin-
cry to move evenly and smoothly and
with a minimum amount of strain and
wear and tear. The simplicity of the
theory is shown in the accompanying
illustration.
1t is asserted that one power boat
moving along chain will be able to
haul fleet of at least twenty-five
canal boats, each having a cargo OF
24O tons at an average speed of four
miles an hour. The aggregate ton
mage of this fleet would be 5000 tons,
equal to three good train loads. The
estimated cost of this system of tow
ing will not exceed one-half OF mill
per ton per mile according to it's in
ventor.-New York Sun.

The system is not essentially new
zone, as it has been used successfully
abroad. The American patents were
taken out last February by Joseph &.
Tone of Irondequoit, who has used
the system to operate a river Terry
near Rochester.
It consists of chains along the bed
of the canal. These are gripped by
power boats, which pull themselves
along. The chain passes longitudin-
ally through the power boat, going al;
ternately over and under sheaves or
rollers. The cog wheels are moved
by engine Of the power boat.
In this manner the power of the en-
CINE is directly applied. The bevel-
gears and sheaves distribute not only
the applied power, but also the draft
on the chain so that the chain is en-

Frenchwoman Predicts caIamities foi'
.-.ee the Year 1903.
One of the most serious of the
French foretellers of future events
is Nine. de Thebes, who, as all who
write about her are careful to state,
was believed in by so able and so
practical person as Alexander
Dumas fills. Recently she published a
small book of predictions for the year
1903. Attention is directed to the
volume, as in. it the writerSforetold
the burning of provincial theater.
She has accordingly scored some sue
cess, as the Grand Theater at Lille,
was destroyed by fire Sunday night.
Mme. de Thebes says in her booklet
+ that the burning of Paris theater
may also be expected in the present
year. Turning to home politics, she
announces that there will be tenn
pestuous time in Parliament, and she
foretells several dramatic deaths, one
particularly in high administrative
spheres. In international politics
troubles will also ensue, and many
complications will arise, inevitably
endangering- peace and dragging
Europe violently back to the old bat
tlefields." A great Northern state
will meet with adverse fortune and
Holland will lave something to fear
from the waves of the ocean. An
other prediction is that the ruler OF a
country bordering on France will
meet with an accident. The financial
world is to be greatly troubled, &C.
cording to the French palmist and
prophecies, but we may look forward
very soon to a fine scientific discovery
| destined to effect remarkable changes.
On the whole, Nine de Thebes takes
gloomy view of the prospects of the
human race during the year 1908. The
only hopeful part of her predictions is
that about the coming scientific dis
covery She gives. Some small con-

national complications to which she

What Constitutes a Family.


The question as to what constitutes
a family is often up before the rail.
road officials. Some railroads are

mans name and family is that it is
only good for himself and members Of
his family who rely upon him for sup.

Some of the European roads are
more liberal. ]. B. Hutchinson Of the
pennsylvania Railroad company, who
has just returned from q trip abroad
said: II was struck with the liberal
definition of what a pass bearing ones
name and family is good for on the
Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean rail-
road" He had copied the instruc.
tons bearing on this subject. They
were as follows: "A pass for one
and family is good for father, mother,
children, grandfather, grandma other,
mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother,

You don't string beads to-day ex-
actly as you did under grandmother s

moreover, would be considered too

Weaving beads into Indian designs
belts and moccasins and wampum
bags-is the thing now. The adher-
ence to native American art ideals in
preference to all foreign types of the
beautiful is the dominant note of the
new craze.
All the city kindergarten schools
now have classes in bead weaving.
Each class had quantity of models,
which are procured in the downtown
stores. There are belts brought direct
from the Winnebago country, logging
strings from the Sioux reservations,
headdresses from the Zunis, and
square braided ropes from the Mo-
javes, in some of the schools Navajo
blankets have been hung up as models
and their scheme of decoration accur-
ately copied by the young folk.
The children are taught to weave
on little bead looms which look like
portable book racks, with a row OF
teeth on the top of each f1ange. Threads
are stretched from one row OF teeth
TO the other to constitute the warp of
the piece to be woven: Then the
beads are strung half dozen or
score at a time on a thread, and finally
sewed into the warp row at time.
