A welsh Legend.

In Wales there is a legend Of Irish
smugglers who arrived at Llanddona
many years ago in boat without rud-
der or oars. They were looked upon,
according to the Irish custom of send
ing malefactors to a sea doom in this
plight, as outlaws. However, they had
been allowed to land, and a spring Of
water bursting forth in the sand at the
place was taken asa sign of their right
to refuge. But they ill repaid the
Welsh. The men lived by smuggling,
the women by witchcraft. 1t was not
possible to'overcome the smugglers i'm a
fray, for each carried about with him
a black fly tied in a knot OF his kerr
chief. and the moment the knot was
undone the fly few at the eyes Of the
opponents and blinded them lie the
Llanddona witches attended market
and bid for anything no one ventured
to bid against them

WASHINGTON, Jam. 1+,-Robert j..
Wynne. first assistant postmaster gen
eral was the central figure in the post
al triai and when court adjourned he
was still on the stand. Mr.. Wynne's
testimony occupied most of the day
and he was subjected to rigid cross
examination by Charles A. Douglass,
counsel for the defense, during which
the opposing attorneys had several tits
necessitating word of admonition
from Justice Pritchard that they must
conduct the case in peace The first as
sistant postmaster general was piled
with questions designed TO test his
knowledge of the duties of his office.
The witness frankly stated that he had
often signed papers prepared in Ma
chen's division without examining into
their contents because they came to
him in officialiform aud because Of the
fact that he regarded Machen as one Of
the most expert men in the service and
relied on him.

JOHNSON'S VICTORY
City Of Cleveland, After Long
Fight, Gets Three Cent Fare.
AGREEMENT MEANS CHEAP TRANSIT
McKenna Ordinance Passed by Conn
Gil and Ratified by Trolley Direc-
tors Provides For Three Cent
Fare within city Limits.

Fnre within city Limits.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. II. - An
agreement between Mayor Johnson
and the officials of the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company for the estab-
lishment of the three cent fare within
the city of Cleveland in accordance
with the terms of the McNenna ordi-
nance passed by the city council will
be ratified by the directors of the rail
road company at meeting which has
been called for today. The agreement
is practically a full victory for Mayor
Johnson in the fight that he has waged
for nearly three years.
The McKenna ordinance it has been
learned was drawn with the full cog
nizance and consent of the railroad Of
fcias 1t provides for straight
three cent care within certain limits.
These limits are at many points CO.
extensive with the city limits and are
mt no point more than half mile with
i'm the municipal boundaries Within
these limits straight three cent fare
is to be charged. This does not emit
tie a passenger TO a transfer For a
transfer five cent fare must be paid,
as at present.
Without the McI[enna limits passen-
gers from the eXtremities of the city
and from the suburbs are to pay .
cents. as at present On this fare like
wise no transfer will be given For IA
transfer an excess fare of , cents will
be charged, making the total fare Z
cents
The result of a careful study Of the
passengers now carried on the lines of
the company shows that - PEI cent
will pay cents, II per cent will pay
5 cents and per cent will pay cents.

Eyideace of Wealth,

That wealth is one of the most COM
parative of terms, those in moderate
circumstances often being considered
"rtch" by persons of less means, was
aptly illustrated by an old colored
nanny" in East Baltimore several
days ago. She had been doing the
laundry work Of a certain family for
quite while, but deciding to leave
the neighborhood. she had come to
tell them that she would no longer be
able to perform these duties. The lady
Of the house, wishing to procure an
other good washerwoman, inquired Of
the faithful nanny" as to the re-
liability Of another colored woman
who she happened to know lived next
door to her. Law Missus." replied
the old darby, dat woman doan' do

to deduct from her salary the value Of

Wood-Pulps Bal Paper.

Wood-Pu1ps In Paper.
Fifty years ago practically all the
paper in use was made from rags
preferably linen rags. To-day most Of
1t is made from wood pulp. Now. If
the plans Of certain experimenters are
carried out, the linen itself, or good
substitute for 1t, will be made from
wood pulp. Artificial silk made from
pulp has for some time been on the
market, and the demand is said to ex-
coed the supply. A new process haA
been patented for spinning many diff
ferent sorts Of fabric from moist pulp.
The fiber so obtained is called SILVA
lin''-"wood thread'-and a company
has been formed to manufacture it In
$merica under license from the Euro
pean inventor.

CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's One Way to Get It.

Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if they're not afraid to leave It
to test as in the case of lady in
Connellsville.
II had been sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had bad sick
headache knows what I suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week I
would have to remain in bed, at other
times I couldn't lie down the pain
would be SO great. My life was q tor
ture and If I went away from home
for day always came back more
dead than alive.
Zone day was telling q woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused it.
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
That's how came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
Of my old troubles. All I did was to
leave of the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
"Our house was like drug store for
my husband bought everything he
heard Of to help me without doing
any good but when I began On the
Postum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared. I
have friend who had an experience
Just like mine and Postum cured her
just as it did me.

aches but my general health has been
improved and I ain much stronger
than before. I now enjoy delicious

the aeographers Of the
olden Time.

I'm the good old times geography was
q much more fascinating study than it is
to-day. Stanley had not then followed
Livingstone through Africa; the Eng
fish had discovered nothing interesting
about "the roof Of the world" nor had
hey begun to speculate on the probable
Identity of the chief Thibetan river with
the Brahmaputra; Pike had not found
his peak, nor Lewis and Clarke the
Stony Mountains" SO little was posi-
lively known about the distant world
and SO much depended on the tales OF
seamen that each geographer chose his
facts to suit himself. Thus, says the au-
thor Of "Old- Time Schools" there was
never-ending variety about the geog-
raphy books.
"The joint snake period" declared the
author of Geography Made Easy
more than hundred years ago, els a
great curiosity. Its skin is as hard as
parchment and as smooth as glass. It
Is so stiff it can hardly bend itself into
hoop, and so brittle that when it is
struck 1t breaks like pipe-stem. You
may with whip break it into pieces
not an inch long and not produce the
least tincture of blood"
I'm California" runs a later para
graph, ''there falls in the morning
great quantities of dew, which, settling
on the rose-leaves, becomes hard like
mama, having all the sweetness of re-
fined sugar, without it's whiteness..'
I'm the Friendly Islands," the student
was told, their great men are fond of q
singular kind of luxury, which is to have
some one sit beside them all night and
beat on different parts of their body I'M
til they go to sleep; after which they
relax little Of their labor, unless they
appear likely to wake, in which case
they redouble their exertions until they
are again fast asleep"
The diversions of the Scots are dane
ing, eoff and curling. The goff is spe-
cies IF ball-playing performed with q
bat and ball, the extremity of the bat
being loaded with lead, and the party
which strikes the ball with fewest
strokes into hole wins the game"
In answer to the question: what
curiosities are there in France?" ap-
pears this incredible yarn
IA fountain near Grenoble emits q
flame which will burn paper, straw, ETC.,
but will not burn gunpowder. Within
about eight leagues of the same place il

ing the odd manners of the Inhabitants

SHORT AND SHARP.

To-day's worry is the result Of yester-
days neglect.
Some women sweeten their tea with
gossip, instead Of sugar.
There should be a law to prohibit peo-
pie from impersonating actors on the
stage.
Many man and woman are married
and live happily even after securing a
divorce.
It is a woman's fondness for change
that prevents many husband from
leaving any in his pocket.
