Veteran nearlseener.

A statesman recently on a business
trip to this city gave it as his opinion
that the importance of the men of ma
tional affairs and their relation to the
government and its service can be de-
termined in no better fashion than
by observing the actions of Ross. the
veteran colored doorkeeper to the pri-
vate Office of the postmaster general.
Ross has been in the government serv-
ice for many years and has served UNI
der several postmaster generals. He
knows every man of prominence in the
country, and they all know and respect
him. 1t is said that the importance Of
any person can be gagged by the man
ner in which he Is greeted by this priv
ileged individual. Ross is said to be all
that stands between the postmaster
general and v p~rostration, and
he has certainly earned such a reputa-
tion. He has guarded his charge care
fully from oil intruders for many years
and has turned away many persons
whose business with the head of the
post Office department could be just as
easily transacted with some one else.
Ross is the firm friend of all the news
paper men that visit the department.
and he is never more polite and at
tentive than when answering their
questions and arranging for interviews
between them and his chief.-Washing-

He Became Rich, But How:

Fortunately all rich men have not
gained thier wealth by crooked methods
but an exchange bidding farewell to one
of its patrons says: HE was a man OF
push; he played marbles when a boy for
keeps and cheated all his playmates out
of their alleys, he snapped a bladeless
knife, unseen for a four BLADDER. sold it
for fifty cents and bought a pound of
sugar, made a barrel of lemonade which
he sold circus day for eight dollars.
He started in business and sold tough
meats for choice cuts and made a for
tune. When he got a thousand dollars
he organized a company with five mil
lion dollars capital, mostly water and
sold stock at par. When the company
busted it was found that he had sold out
a long time before. When he died a
millionaire, left all the money here,
1t is very warm where he is now.

Not So Very weak.

The train was on ii windy pass In the
Rockies. There were in the car a few
miners, two cowboys, a woman, who
looked III, and a man clothed in very
British tweeds. He was evidently used
to roughing II and sat beside the open
window Indifferent to the cold air that
swirled into the car.
Behind him sat the woman, shiver-
ing. Across the aisle was d large
boned westerner. He did not seem to
mind the wind himself, but he gave a
kind, solicitous glance toward the wo-
man.
After an hour OF shivering she leaned
forward and asked the man in trout of
her to close the window. He paid no
attention to her request, except that he
looked straight ahead and said. adj

Then the tall man across the aisle
rose slowly. His head came just under
the bell cord. He reached across the
tweed suit. pushed the owner of it
rather rudely into the corner of the
seat. laid hold OF the window catch
with his big thumb and finger and sent
the window down with a slam.

The juice OF the green pineapple is

throughout the far east generally with
being a blood poison of a niost deadly
nature. Health mentions it as the
substance with which the Malays pol

To Keep Eggs Fresh.

German papers state that it is posi-
BILE TO keep eggs fresh for any length OF
time by simply immersing them in a ten
per cent solution of silicate Of soda,
commonly called liquid glass. This
produces the formation Of a coating
which renders the eggs perfectly air
tight. The eggs SO treated retain fheir
fresh taste for many months. The best
proof Of the efficiency Of this treatment
has been furnished by the 2act that
such eggs after having been kept for a
whole year were hatched and the
chickens were strong and healthy,

without his consent and goes ont
against his will, and the trip between
the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule
of contraries is one of the important
features of this trip. When he is lit
the big girls kiss him, but when he is
grown the little girls kiss him. If he
raises a large family he is a chump, but
if he raises a small family he is a thief,
If he is poor, he is 8 bad manager; if he
is rich, he is dishonest, If he's in
politics, it's for pie, if he's out OF
politics, you can't please him and he's
no good for his country. If he dosen'i
give to charity he's a stingy cuss; if he
does it's for show. If he dies young
there was a great future before him
il he lives to an old age he has missed
his calling. He is introduced into this
world and to the next by the same
process. The road is rocky, but the

of this number only about 33 per cent
were allowed to pass. The bulk having

class were left on the Canadian soil.
Is it the trick Of the European agent
to induce immigrants Of the impoverished
or unhealthy class to come to the United
States by the way Of Canada under the
pretense that they are coming to this
country for settlement? Had the people
