How He Saves Money.

Zone of the mostsuccessful business
men of my acquaintance" said the
drummer 'is living example of the
old adage: Take care of the pennies
and the dollars will take care of you.
i don't pretend to know how much he
saves in postage every year, but it
must be considerable. A great deal OF
his business is done by mail, and it
doesn't make any difference what the
weight is, he never puts more than two
cents in postage on it. 1t all goes as
first-class matter. and whatever is due
must be collected at the other end, He
tells me that not one person in 10 ne
elects to pay the excess postage, and
he figures 1t out that he is away ahea d
on the item of postage at the year S
end. "-Philadelphia Record.

Women to 30 LARGEST.

Men are growing smaller and WON
en- larger-the human race will soon
be like the family OF Arachnidae, the
spider, predicts a Chicago anthropol
Ogist. He says that in the domestic
arrangements of the house of spinner
tho lady is the hnsinoss-he3d II &c
Mrs. Spider who sits at her gossamer
front door, and with her fine-spun
theories entrances and later entraps
the unwa.y Reuben OF the rural dis
tricts OF Flydom. Her lord and mas
ter CD does not assist in the bunco
game at all, except to lend his unim
portant presence at the juicy division
of the spoils.
The same gentleman Of anthropo
logical tendencies carries out the ana
logy between the commercial world
OF Arachnidae and that of the genus
homo to an alarming extent. He
points out, in support of his dolefu)
prophecies, that the average size OF
man is decreasing, while that of the
better half is on the increase.

A Valuable jorss.

The London Spectator spoke Of the
lmous racing mare Sceptre as having
rost 100000 as a yeaI ling. Mr.. Alfred
e. T. Watson. her owner in letter
to the Spectator, states that the price
paid was instead 10000 guineas, or
about $5l.100. But Sceptre has won
pretty nearly 100000. She is only
five years old, has excellent prospects
for this season, and, says Mr.. Watson
AT the end of her racing career Scep>
ire should be worth a great deal be;
...a So 1890. iisinaiiy paiu LOT her
probably over half as much again
The price paid for Sceptre was the
highest on record for a yearling. The
second highest was given at the same
sale, July 4. 1900, for Cupbearer a
son of Orme, who cost saga and has
never won race!

An Odd Courtship.

OF the late Field Marshal Count Wal
dersee, 1t is said that he proposed to
Princess Noer, who became his wife
under the following circumstances:
The princess had been shopping and
had a small parcel in her hand. when
he met her salnfed ond trrnod arnYnd
to accompany her to the door or her
residence. The princess held out the
parcel to him. He looked distressed.
She affected not to understand why.
He reminded her of the severe rule
prohibiting military men Of every de-
gree from carrying in the street parcels
or even ladies' wraps. She told him
that the rule was absurd and that in
this instance it must be disregarded
or else He laughed, took the parcel
and called next day to know what pen
atty he would have incurred had he
not broken the rule. She made a saucy
reply. Both banded words half guy,
half sentimental, with the consequence
that the visit ended in an engagement.

Sir James Siveright, who has been
exchanging kindly courtesies with Mr..
Kruger at Mentone, knew the expires
ident in the days before the war, when
he himself was minister of the Cape
railways. Sir James once had the
honor of breakfasting with the chief
eexkpeeEEffende, For although in receipt Of
a handsome entertaining allowance,
the president very seldom invited any
one to his table. There was good
deal of patriarchal simplicity about
the breakfast a deuX, the meal con-
s:sting of huge wooden bowls OF bread
and milk, followed by two substantial
beefsteaks. Mr.. Kruger prefaced the
repast with an extremely Dutch grace,
and between the bread and milk and
the steak he interpoiated a pipe, In

The May number Book of the Royal
Blue" published by the Passenger De-
pnrtment of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, has been devoted to contributions
from the American Press HumOrists
and Cartoonists. II is full of unique
features and unlike the average maya
zine, is an all-star publication contain
ing contributions from fifty Of the best
known newspaper humorists and thirty
of the popular cartOonists of the coun-
try.
Each humorist is portrayed In some
characteristic manner by the cartoonist
who has worked with him some time
and knew his hobbies; and most re-
markable collection of drawings has
resulted.
The majority Of the big daily news
papers are represented.
At the time of the Baltimore fire this
magazine issued a special edition, which
was quickly followed by two more edit
ions, which were completely wiped out
in two or three days.
The humorist edition is limited, and
those desiring copies are requested to
send 10 cents to Jos. p. Taggart, N. E.

TORTOISE SHELL.
In Working It Gentle Heat and Pres
sure Are Mainly Used.


A tortoise shell is harder and more
brittle than ordinary horn. Heat and
pressure are practically the only
MONS which can tie employed in
working It, and ii is impossible TO
work tortoise shell at great heat,
since the coloring pigment easily
liquifies and obscures the shell, there
by greatly lessenins Its value. Heavy
pressure is also impossible owing to
its brittle character
The plates of the carapace, or thick
shell, are first separated from the skel-
etCn by the application OF gentle heat
and then fattened by similar proc
ess. The superficial Irregularities are
next rasped off, and the material Is
polished, ready for molding into any
desired shape.
Larger or thicker plates areproduced
by Il process which requires great care
and attention. Two surfaces are first
raG ped and cleaned and are then gen.
thy heated and pressed together The
heat liquefes them. and the pressure
effects Il perfect union, making an in
visible joint.
Tortoise shell combs are cut by the
highly ingenious twinning machine, so
called because two combs are cut from
the same plate, so that the teeth OF
one dovettail into the spaces OF the
other, avoiding all waste.

Catarrh of the kidneys is very common
indeed. 1t is pity this fact is not better
known to the physicians as well as the
people.
People have kidney disease They take
some diuretic, hoping to get better. They
never once think OF catarrh. Kidney dis
ease and catarrh are seldom associated in
the minds OF the people, and, alas, it is
not very often associated in the minds OF

He would sit around and idle
When he knew at home the larder
Was empty-'twas the period
When he semeed to loaf the harder;
So his angry wife had left him
Many years before my song,

How she'd stuck it out SO long.
