'T do not mean to intimate that we

that those found are mostly of inferior

Of not sufficient value to warrant cut

taken out Of the shells picked up in

amounted to a craze. Pearls, by the
way, have gone up in price from 200

warn one Another of Danger ~
weird Clicking Sounds, Says
DIstInEuished Naturalist.

Most seamen will tell Of curious click
ing sounds heard on calm nights at sea,
and the origin Of the noise seems so al
together unaccountablethat It has often
created some alarm among superstihous
fishermen, says the Chicago Tribune.
A distinguished naturalist made q care
f1l study Of the sounds on many occa-
sions, and found that It was not 4 sus-
tanned note, but made up Of q multitude
OF tiny ones, each clear and distinct In
Itself, and ranging from a high treble
down to a bass. When the ear was ap-
piled to the gunwale Of the boat the
sound grew more inense, and IN some
places, as the boat moved on, It could
not be heard at all.
On other occasions the sound resem-
bled the tolling Of bells, the booming OF
guns, and the notes Of an Aeolian harp.
For q long time he was unable to trace
the cause, but at length discovered that
the sounds were made by shellfsh, hun
dreds Of them opening their shells and
closing them with sharp snaps. The noise,
partly mufied by the water, sounded
Indescribably weird. He was finally led
to the conclusion that, as the shellhsh
made the sounds, they probably had some
meaning, and that the clicks might posi-
bly, be q warning Of danger when the
shallow water was disturbed By the boat

Several months ago q man named
Kurzpesli, having committed q seri-
Gus ofense, was sentenced to q long
term Of Imprisonment in Germany, and
since then the public heard nothing
about him until the other day, when the
news spread that he had discovered q
cure for consumption which he claimed
was infallible. In q letter to the min
lister Of the interior. KurZpesd gave q
glowing account Of the new remedy, stat
ing that It had worked wonders on him
self and others who are imprisoned with
him at Luneburg, and requested TO be
set at liberty for time IN order that he
might continue his Investigations in q
properly equipped laboratory. With this
request the minister has not yet seen At

u such Importance that he has instructed
q committee Of scientists to 50 to Lune-
burg and make q thorough test Of the

Salesman Says the Common Paper Bag

The paper bag. the kind the gro
GERS use, you know. is the best baron
ster for registering the rise and fall
Of general prosperity" said the city
salesman the other morning. Il have
been selling paper bags for rs years,
and can refer to my old order books
and tell you Just about how much
money there was in general circulation
At any time since l have been toting
that old paper case about the city.
an 26 years have closely watched
the sales, and I want to say that am
selling bigger bags to grocers now than
ever before. Along about 1894, and for
three or four years afterward one
pound and two' pound bags were the
most used. I now sell ten times as
many eight pound bags as did even
six or seven years ago.
You see. IT stands to reason that
when people have little money they
will buy their groceries in small
amounts. When there Is plenty Of
money people buy more at q time. OF
course, when the larger paper bags are
sold Il means that won't sell 80 many
Of them, for people don't trot to the

PALACE CARS FOR HORSES.
Animals Travsling by Ran Have Fine
AeoommodatiOns-HDoubls Deck
srs" for Sheep and Hogs.

American railroads have almost &c
many different kinds Of cars for carry
ing animals as they have cars for pas
sengers.
One kind Of car that Is used for
shipping horses Is known technically
IS q palace horse car, and, excepting
for fine woodwork and brassEork, It Is
q palace car, giving horses fine accom-
mOdations.
Each horse has his own stateroom,
so % speak, for the car Is fitted with
Independent stalls. Each stall has
manger and water trough, overhead
are racks for holding extra feed
Sheep and hogs are often carried In
cars with two stories. These are known
as dOuble-deckers, and the animals are
shipped in both stories. They have
room 70 lie down in and water Is sup
piled to them from pipes.
Horses and cattle are sidetraeked At
intervals II the cars are making a long
run, and the beasts are led out and al
lowed to run around for exercise. Then
they are driven back to their cars and
resume their journey.
Sheep are often unloaded within a
few miles Of their destination and
turned loose TO rest and feed until
they are in good flesh. This Is not done
merely from motives Of humanity. II
has been found that the sheep are
30 much improved by it that they
bring higher prices when they reach
the market.

We are the only nation Of hustlers,

ford Times. The Germans and the
French work for q certain number Of
hours with q steady but not a feVerish
industry, and then they enjoy them
selves in what We would consider g
rather childish way. They gather IN
their cafes or beer gardens with their
families and chat good-humoredly
about trivial subjects. Even the Eng
lish, though Astounding in physical en-
ergy, take life easily.
They seem to us to make too much
Of their leisurely game Of cricket But
all these nations have accomplished
great things. not only IN science, art
and literature, but In the material ad-
vance Of civilization. They do not eI
pend nervous energy as rapidly as We
do, and In consequence the period Of
life work among their men Is longer.
They do not consume life so fast. May
It not be that they, in their old-fash-
toned way, are wiser than vet They
have emboI-ed their views Of life In
proverbs like these: More haste
worse speed" "He who goes slowly
goes far" Its the pace that kills"
and others to the same purpOrt, and
proverbs are entitled to respect, be
cause they embody the vision Of hu-
manity. There is no proVerb enjoin-
ing the necessity Of continuous rest
