There Are
Few Things

That a property owner needs
more than fire insurance.
Nothing, he needs so much,
or is of more use in rebuilding
after the fire has consumed all
his belongings. Did you, ever
stop to think how much you
will be crippled financially
when fire consumes your un-
insured buildings? It's a great
relief to get a check covering
your losses a few days after
the fire. Better get fire insur-
ance today; the fire may come
tonight.

Beg9ars In Japan.

The number Of beggars in Japan is In
creasing rapidly. The pawnshops are
empty. Those who used to pawn things
now apparently sell them, as they have
no hope Of ever being able to redeem
them. Jinricksha men who used to earn
one dollar day are now glad to get
one-ffth that sum, as nearly everybody
walks.

The Way One Woman Kept Her Hus-
band Home In the Evenings.
81 would be very happy if my hus-
band would not spend so many of his
evenings at the club" said Mrs. Bride
with a.sigh.
"Why don't you try the suspicion
cureT' said her intimate friend.
"What is the suspicion cureY' asked
Mrs. Bride
"Well, my husband once got into the
habit of spending his evenings at his
club, and I worried myself i'll Then
changed my tactics. Instead of asking
him to remain at home urged him to
go to the club. The way he raised his
eyebrows the first time / suggested it
showed that was ON the right track.
''One night he said he had a severe
headache and would remain at home
I opposed the idea and insisted that an
evening at his club would make him
forget his headache. He gave me
hard look, but acted on the suggestion.
l knew he would be back within an
hour, so made an elaborate toilet. He
returned, as I expected, with the plea
that his head was worse. Ignored his
question concerning my elaborate tot
let. He hasn't been away for an even
ing since. 1t is almost like the old
honeymoon, only he appears to have
something on his mind.'

NAPoLEGN's POLICE.
They Were Well Watched to Insure
Full Measure of Duty.

They Were Well Watched to Insure
Full Measure of Duty.
During the reign Of Emperor Napo-
leon I. at a dinner in Paris the CONVEX
sation turned upon the emperor and
his government. One of the company
remarked that he was great man,
but was too fond Of war. When the
party broke up, gentleman who was
present requested to speak in private
to the person who had made that ob-
servation. Sir" said he, ~ am sorry
for it, but 1 must request you to go
with me to the police" "Why?' said
the other in the greatest apparent
alarm. 'I have said nothing against
the emperor but what every one must
acknowledge, that he is too fond of
war. There can be 10 harm in that"
with that have nothing to do. You
must go with me TO the police" The
other now began to show the strongest
symptoms of fear. He entreated the
police agent in the most pathetic Ian
guage to have compassion on him.
The other, however, stood unmoved by
all his solicitation, when suddenly the
man rose from his knees and burst
into laugh, to the utter establishment
of the informer "You think you have
caught me-" said he. "You are spy
of the police. So am l, and ] was put
over you to see whether You would do
your duty"

No postal service has -
lIer than that which was a. bn'
during the reign Of KhammuraDl, the
Amraphei of Genesis, who was king
of Babylonia about 1900 3. c. A num-
Der Of the missiWes, each inclosed I'M
its clay envelope, which passed through
this earliest postoffice are preserved
in the Babylunian room of the British
museum, and their contents indicate!
that even at that period letters were
freely circulated throughout the en-
pire by public postal service under!
governmental control.
Sir Brian luke was appointed post
master in England at the beginning of
the sixteenth century, and in 1853 the
lords of the council ordered ~that the
postes betweene this and the Northe
should eche of them keepe a booke
and make entrye of every lettre that
he shall receive, the tyne of the dalfp-;
erie thereof unto his hands, with the
parties names that shall bring it unto
him."
The first post for the conveyance Of
private letters to all parts Of England
and Scotland was started in 1886, when
the letter office" was established, but
it was not till 1887 that the foundation
Of the present system was laid.

/ COST OF A LEGACY.
[etimes 1t Doesn't Pay to Inherit
Money I'm FfaIy

Letimes 1t Doesn't Pay to Inherit
Money In Italy.
In Italy it appears to be somewhat
expensive affair to inherit money
that is, if it be small sum. Not long
ago young man died in the little
town of Romagna who left Ira So
centesimi, or not quite "a cents. This
sum, which had been deposited In the
postoffice savings bank, became the
property of the young mans father.
AS the amount was so small, the ia
Their thought it unnecessary to make a
declaration of the legacy as the law
prescribes, especially as the stamped
paper on which the declaration must
be made would cost about % centesimi
more than the money involved.
Three months afterward he received
a demand from the local state treasury
for the payment of IA lire 4S centesimi
nearly $3). Thinking a mistake had
been made, he took no notice of this
demand, with the result that later an
official called upon him and demanded
the immediate payment Of 10 lire
$3.50. The father had not sufficient
money in hand, so the official took pos
session Of the mans furniture. The
cost of this seizure brought the total
sum to 80 lire, which the poor man
had to pay that same evening to avoid
the sale of his goods by auction.

THE LOVING CUP.
Its Origin Dates From the Assassina-
ton of King Edward.

Its Origin Dates From the Assassina-
tfon of King Edward.
The remote origin of the loving cup
dates from the story of the assassina-
ton Of Edward, king and martyr, who
was stabbed in the back while drink
ing. 1t had been usual at feasts to
pass round a large cup, which each, as
he rose to drink, lifted with both
hands, exposing his body to attack.
This custom was altered, so that when
one stood up to drink he who sat next
became his pledge" and also rose,
drawn sword in hand, to protect him.
This practice in a modified form con-
tfnued LONG after changed conditions
Of society had ceased to need it and
was the origin of our custom of drink
ing healths and particularly of the
ceremonial. preserved in almost its
primitive form, of passing round the
loving cup. when, as each person rises
and takes the cup in his hand to drink,
the guest next to him also rises and
-grasps the second handle.
Some authorities ascribe its origin
to Margaret, consort of Malcolm, king
Of Scotland, and others to Henry of
Navarre.-London Truth.

Marriage In the Isles of Greece.

In Kaso, one of the most southern
islands of Greece, the parents upon
both sides take upon themselves all the
responsibilities of courtship and mar
rage. Courtship, as we understand it,
Is not in any way permitted to the be-
trothed couple. No moonlight walks or
tete-a-tetes are allowed. Such a course
would be deemed highly reprehensible,
and all wooing, If there be any, must
take place in the presence of the eld-
ers. But there Is no great time for re-
pinlng at these DEGREES of custom, for
the marriage follows the offer as
quickly as may be.

Condensed MIX Lacks water.

Steam emanating from boiling milk
If condensed would become water.
This may be seen in the manufacture
of condensed milk, which is only ordi-
nary milk boiled down until the water
is out of it. If liquid which contains
solid bodies in solution be evaporated,
the solids are left behind. That this
is SO may be shown by adding to wa
ter that is to be distilled trace Of
magenta and little salt. The dis
titled water has no taste and is color
less. The magenta is generally de-
posted upon the sides Of the boiling
vessel.
