The local democracy has been
fond OF boasting that it is the
friend of labor, believes in good
wages, etc, but a funny thing
happened. A corps of canvassers
who were hired to work at $500
a day had the hardest kind OF a
time in collecting it, the central
committee holding that $500 a
day is plenty, while the republi-
cans paid S2.5e and did no hag-
CLING over the matter. 1t is a
very easy thing to pretend, but
different thing to perform. No
body is being deceived by the
spurious claim of the tight demo-
cratic headquarters.

origin Of Knives.

Prof. w. j. MCGEE has lately
undertaken to trace back to it's
origin that useful invention, the
knife. The first knives, he be.
lieves, were fractured stones that
happened to have a sharp cutting
edge. But the vegetable kingdom
also furnishes very keen cutting
edges in the leaves and stalks of
certain plants, which might have
been availed of before artificial
knives were made. The fractured
stone knife easily suggested the
shaping of faxed stones, like flint,
into the form Of blades, Among
the Seri Indians on TiburOn
Island, in the Gulf Of California.
the primitive custom Of utilizing
fractured and water-worn stones
for knives still exists.-Youth's

JAPANESE ARE VERY POLITE
In Conversation Formally Is Ever
Observed and Self Set AL
ways at Naught.

japanese politeness is a marvel
ous thing and without it their Ian
guage. as it stands at present,
would fan to pieces, says Modern
Society. Everything that is adj
dressed to the 'honorable side" of
the room-that is, to "you"-or
in any way refers to your posses
sions or concerns, must be mod
eled on a certain form of adora-
ton, overwhelming, almost suf
locating. But anything that has
TO do with the "groveling side"-.
that is with me" or my concerns
must take on a peculiar BELT
Ting, Indifferent and even con
temptuous form.
Thus, at setting out one has to
learn that all ones own things are
low, mean and vile, while the
other fellows are admirable, hon
orable, august, divine. If Jones
wished to borrow a knife from
Smith to sharpen a pencil, he
would say: May | taken your
honorable knife in my dirty hands
to sharpen my still dirtier pen.
CLIP" And Smith would reply
Certainly, here is my filthy knife
when you have deigned to sharper
you august pencil with it / beg
that your augustness will condo
scend to hand it back to decayet
me so that might place 1t in IN!

sEARcHLIGHT's DEAD SPOTS
'fBeam of Darkness" That May Con-
ceal the Form of a Tor
pedo Boat.

Gone of the complications that
make us unhappy on a battleship
when we expect "A torpedo attack"
said an American naval officer,
lately, lis the fact that there is a
dead spot in the beam of the
searchlisbt. II a torpedo boat
can fit and lie in the center of this
beam of darkness that plays over
the water wherever our beam of
light plays, it can lie there with
impunity. We cannot see it from
the ship.
II had an excellent opportunity
to test the truth Of this during the
mimic war off the New England
coast. l commanded . small dis
patch boat, and when we we're off
Plum island at the entrance to
Long Island sound, 7 was sentinto
scout and report what / could dis
cover of the batteries on the is
land.
owe ran in until we raised the
searchlight on the Notifications
Slowly we proceeded then, dodg-
ing ii until we were in full range
Of it, so that we had to lie still.
We waited until the operator OF
the light ceased for a moment and
held it steady. Then we pushed il
quick and lay almost in the center
of the dazzling white pencil Of
light. 1t seemed to US on the shiI
that we must be shining forth like
a set piece on stage, for the fierce
beam Illuminated every ripple OF
the water around us; but our littlC
ship was right In the center of thu
dead spot, and as long as the ligh.
was held steady we kept steam
ing, boldly and unseen, in tOwar,

the light was moved we we're dis
covered. But by that time W,
had seen all we wanted to, and az
preached so close to the gun
that we were entitled to claim
point for our side, which we did.

RICHES IN coRNs AND TEETH
Engishmen Who Have Eace For
tunes from Cutting and Sell
ing One and the Other.

1t gives one rather an ache in
the mouth to reflect that a gentle
man who died recently in London
has left an estate of nearly f17O.
GOO, all from making artificial
teeth. Better that way than the
fashion in which his prototypes
raised their wealth, saws the st.
James Gazette. Before the arti-
fetal tooth was created defcien
eies bemade good by the real
article, so bOdy-snatchers ravaged
the cemeteries at night, breaking
up the jaws of the dead to extract
their teeth to sell to dentists for
insertion in live mems mouths.
An army of these ghOuls followed
Wellington. They were licensed
as suffers, but, once night fell, out
came their pliers, and out came
the teeth of those dead and
dying on the b%attlefelds. 1t is a
horrible idea, but we are not so
much more refined today. Only
1S months ago somebody was ex-
plotting the bones of our soldiers
who had fought and died under
Lord WOlseley in the Ashanti
war. The poor relics were shipped
to London, taken to an auction
room to be sold as "curiOs," and
only at the last moment was pub,
lie opinion too strong to permit
the wicked transaction to be car
ried through. Not so far from
where the prosperous tooth fac
tor has just died there used to
live a cutter of cOrns. Everybody
knew him-Old Wolff. He did not
aspire to the title of chiropodist-
simply a cutter of c0rns he. More
than a thousand clients paid him
their three guineas a year. One of
them was an archbishop, who.
while he submitted a painful corn
to the razor, piled his persuasive
tongue upon the cutter. Here was
a Jew to he converted. "Sir, of you
will go on talking, ! shall cut you"
was the only response of Shylock.
"If / make you bleed you'll die"
was another grim way he had of
%silencing his clients. In his dingy
old room, patronized by all the
lions of the stock exchange, and
everybody who was anybody with
a corn, he piled up a fortune of
over six figures, and was still coin
ing money up to the date of his
death at the age of "a.

OF GOLD NUGGETS
Accidental Finding Of the Rich Treas
ure in the Wilds Of
Australia.

Could even fiction or east side
meiOdrama suggest any situation
more romantic? Figure to your
self, as the French say, four men
sinking down exhausted in the
arid Australian bush, way back in
the "Never.Never" county. where
rain does not fan for years at a
stretch, and the only plant that
forces its way through the chok-
ing sand is the dreaded spinifex,
or Australian spear grass, whose
points pierce the pedestrian like a
lance.
They sank down to die, SAYS the
New York Herald. Their horses,
too, were exhausted, and n of
these in stumbling struck its fore
foot against a small piece of rock
that projected a few inches out of
the sandy soil. The eyes of one
Of the men followed the stumble,
and the next moment he had
struggled to his feet, shouting:
"Gold, goldm Sure enough, the
supposed "rOck" struck by the
iron hoof glistened in the pitiless
sun, and a moment later all four
men we're digging eagerly with
bleeding fingers around the place.
Almost in less time than it
takes to tell it these unfortunate
fellows had unearthed the largest
mass Of virgin gold that the world
has ever seen. This is known as
the famous "Welcome Stranger
nugget. II is of the enormous
weight of 10000 ounces, and every
ounce of it virgin gold, there be-
ing practically no alloy whatever.
1t is in the shape Of a rough cross.
This marvellous find acted as a
tonic upon the men and they were
enabled to make their way to the
nearest township, which CHANGED
to be BaIlarat. Here the "Wel
come Stranger" was deposited in
the bank, and after it was melted
down brought at the rate of 500
an ounce, so fine was the quality
of the gold. A full sized model OF
the "WelcOme Stranger" may be
seen by American visitors to Lon.
don in the department of minerals
and precious stones in the great
Natural History museumin CrOm

1t was n jest pure and simple that
brought about the war between Eng
land and France in 1887 and ultimately
cost the great William his life. Will
liam, of course, was great in more
senses than one. SO stout was he in
fact by reason of his idle and luxurious
life that he could not walk from place
TO place, but had to be carried. One
day his contemporary, Philip Of
France, delicately remarked at dinner
that William was like fillet of beef
on casters and ought to be exhibited at
a prize monarch show" Naturally Will
liam heard of this and In furious
rage ordered his troops to invade at
once. This was done, and a war COM
menced which ended in the English
king being thrown from his horse and
killed while experimenting the siege
of Nantes.

A Fall and a Lesson.

An English gentleman travelling
some years ago in Ireland took ham
mer and tacks along with him because
he found dogs cared carpets at all the
inns where he rested. At one of these
inns he tackled down the carpet, which,
as usual, was loose near the door, and
soon afterward rang the bell for his
dinner. While the carpet was loose
the door could not be opened without
a hard push, so when the waiter came
up he just Unattached the door: then
going back a couple of yards, he rush
ed against it, as his habit was, with
a sudden spring to force 1t open. But
the wrinkles of the carpet We're no
longer there to stop it, and. not meet
ing with the expected resistance. the
waiter fell full length into the room.
1t had never entered his head that so
much trouble might be saved by means
Of hammer and dozen or even half
n dozen tacks until his fall taught him
that makeshift is Il very Improbable
sort of shift.

How whittier Raised Some Money.

An interesting story is told of the
poet Whittier showing his ingenuity
in getting subscriptions for good
cause There were a number of car
riage makers in Amesbury, where he
resided, and, being once unable to col
lect cash in consequence of the pre-
vailing commercial depression, he sug-
gested that each might contribute
some part of a carriage-one the
wheels, another the body, etc. Thus
all the parts of a complete carriage
were given. and it was sold for the
amount required.
