Relish of Humor.

1t may be said of humor, as Mark
Twain in conversation once said of
bacon, that it would improve the
flavor Of an angel. Those who en-
Joy humor certainly enjoy it very
much. Indeed it would not be
strange if half the world should
consider the eXtravagant praise of
humor by the other half as in very
poor taste, since it is acknowledged
by him who laughs as by him who
refrains that the lack of this quality
Of mind (or shall we say Of mind
and body?) may consist with the
most admirable qualities of charac-
ter, says the Century. There is a
second count in the Indictment
that praise Of humor implies in the
praiser the conceit Of possessing it.
However, as no one wanting in hu-
NOR ever praised it, the latter con-
sideration may be neglected

DODSOM'S BIG NOS.
1t Gave the Audience as Well as Him
cclf a Surprise.

On one occasion when John E.
Dodson, the actor, always a pains
taking artist in the matter of make
up, was bout to manufacture III
his dressing room a certain nose to
be fitted over his own nasal organ
he discovered that the putty out of
which he nodded noses was exhaust
ed, and there was no more like it
in the theater. There was no time
to lose, and the only substitute to
be found in town was flour. So he
sent boy out in a tremendous hur-
ry for some flour, and when it ar
rived he mixed it with little water,
made a nose and rushed on the
stage, tired, hot, but triumphant, in
the immense nose which the part
called for.
All went well at first, but at the
end Of ten minutes Mr.. Dodson dis
covered that his nose was actually
growing and at such rate that the
other actors also noticed it. 1t was
becoming longer and thicker and
bigger and threatened to obscure
his shining countenance altogether
He could scarcely get through the
scene, as the audience began to tit
ter, for his nose swayed back and
forth with every movement of the
head and had become a perfect mon
strosity before the act came to an
end. Then Mr.. Dodson rushed into
his dressing room, tore off his nose
and examined the bag of flour, the
label of which had escaped his no
tice: "Self Raising Flour-Requires
No Yeast-Mix with a little water
and set in a warm place for a few
minutes, when the dough will be
ready for baking"

Too Small.

A young woman at a fashionable
summer resort was pointing out va
rious celebrities to an aunt, an old
lady of keen eye and stern visage,
who seemed sadly unaware Of the
privileges bestowed on her.
! "That's Lord Balderdash," said
the niece in a tone of excitement as
a young man passed their carriage,
languidly lifting his hat Giles the

The old lady looked after the in
significant figure. She had given

young man bowed.

PAGAN RITES.
Scottish Customs That Have Their
Origin In Superstitions.

Nearly all travellers in central
Africa have referred to. the curious
customs prevalent among almost all
pagan native tribes of driving guam
titles of nails into sacred trees and
other objects that have been adj
judged worthy of veneration, and
this not in malice, but as religious
rite, the nails in question being in
tended as votive offerings. Exactly
the same thing may be witnessed to-
day at the sacred we'll of ST. Mae
bruha, in Loeb Maree, Rosshire,
where is an ancient oak tree studded
with countless nails of all size, the
offerings of invalid pilgrims who
came to worship and be cured.
Pennies and half pennies also are
to be seen in enormous quantities
driven edgewise in the tough bark,
and a friend Of the writer, who had
visited the spot some little time
back, discovered in the trunk what
he took to be a shilling. On being
extracted, however, it proved to be
counterfeit. Probably the donor,
finding that he could get no value
for his coin in the natural world,
tried as a last resource what effect
it might have on the spiritual.
Of course the poor cotters and
others who flock to st. Maebruha
with their nails and their pence do
not for a moment admit that they
are assisting at pagan ceremony.
But they most undoubtedly are.
Well worship has always occupied
an important place in paganism,
and the sacred oak, before which
each pilgrim must thrice kneel ere
humbly presenting his offerings,
what is it but an obvious survival
of the sacred groves of Druidical.

American Hammers Excel.

Of the hammers made in America
today there is no end, says the
American Importer. There is the
tiny little tack hammer which
weighs only a few ounces and is in
dispensable in house, store or fac
tory; then there is the twenty and
thirty ton hammer driven by steam
and used for making immense forg-
ings. The numberless effects which
are due to its remarkable force of
impact have made the hammer a ne
cessity in all trades. Immense man
ufactories, employing thousands of
men, are grinding year in and year
out making hammers, while ten
times as many wholesale houses are
busy putting the product on the
market. The industry has advanced
to such stage that many general
hardware firms in the United States
have thrown out the hammer, leav-
ing it to the houses that deal in
tools exclusively. In the south sea
islands tree telling contests are of
such Importance that specially made
axes are imported for the work from
America. So skilled are these wood
men of the south seas in telling tim
Der that-a dozen blows on the trunk
of tree will show but the one cash,

Annie T. K. Parker is one Of Hawaii's

the President of the United States, or
to be exact It aggregated $4S,OSS.S3 to
quote the figures given by her guar
dian, Alfred Carter in the report made
by him to Judge De Bolt yesterday.
The most OF the income was derived
from the Parker ranch. which paid in
dividends during the year S44,72494 of
which Miss Parker received one-half.
The report of the guardian showed an
expenditure during the year Of $35. $751; 20
leaving a balance of $1253Z57 which is
in addition to several investments made
out of the income during the year.
An inventory of Miss Parker's estate
shows that she is possessed of about
81. 900 acres of land, and has a half in
terest in almost that much in addition
She also has q half interest in $4,000
cattle, 1900 horses, and in whatever re-
