Douehty's Dinner and the Dog.

The late Augustus Moves of Green
wood, Me-, used to tell the following
story about a certain Mr.. Doughty Of
that town: The town of Greenwood
wanted a road through the "Bider
Opening" and not wishing to increase
their indebtedness the voters agreed
to put in their time and build the road
themselves. The first selectman, Mr..
Doughty, had been noted for his
stinginess, and one day when the
startling announcement came that a
Mr.. Penley's dog had eaten Doughty's
dinner there was great excitement,
and an accusing finger was pointed at
Penley. "Huh," he remarked, don't
look very full, does he?"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
tional remedies, Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed
Ing and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Subtle Flattery.

A piano mover moved an instrument
for a woman the other day and in
doing so broke piece from one of it's
legs. The owner brought suit against
him to recover damages. While on
the witness stand the negro driver of
the van was asked to describe his
conversation with the plaintiff when
he delivered the piano. He did so as
follows:
When | done delivered the piany,
the lady asked me how it done got
broke. / says to her, Lady, it doan'
mattah; cause when you is playing,
nobody won't notice the break, cause
they all will be looking at you An

BUYING RusIEs IN BURMA.
Grips and Signs Used in Bargaining
for Precious Stones.


The peculiar business methods OF
oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner of buying rubies in Bar
ma, says the jewelers. Circular
Weekly. In the examination of rubies
artificial light is not used, the mer-
chants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and brilliancy
Of the gems. Sales must, therefore,
take place between a. M, and p. M,
and the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near a win.
dow, has before him a large coppS
plate. The sellers come to him one
by one and each empties upon this
plate his little bag of rubies. The pur-
chaser proceeds to arrange them for
valuation in number of small heaps.
The first division is into three grades,
according to size; each of these groups
is again divided into three piles &C
cording to color, and each OF these
piles is again divided into three
piles according to color, and each OF
these piles is again divided into three
groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has curious
use. The sunlight reflected from 1t
through the stone brings out with
true rubies a color effect different
from that with red spinels and tour
malines, which are thus easily sepa-
rated.
TIE buyer and seller then go
through a very peculiar method OF
bargaining by signs or rather grins, In
perfect silence. After agreeing upon
the fairness of the classification. they
join their right hands, covered with
handkerchief or the flap of gar
ment, and by grips and pressures
mutually understood among ali these
dealers they make, modify and accept
proposals of purchase and sale. The
hands are then uncovered and the
prices are recorded.

WAYS OF THE DRUMMER.
Expert Opinion by One Who Evident
ly Knows the Species


The gentleman who is called the
drummer Is frequently the whole band
and brass band at that. There is
consequently music in the air when
he Is around. After he is gone the
music is of another brand, for the
man who has bought bill of goods
that he didn't want frequently says
things.
The drummer is great builder.
Sometimes he makes as many az
three towns in a day. One would
think while he was at it that he
would make few hotels, for he is
never satisfied with the ones that
he finds along the way.
Let us be kind to the drummer, re-
Numbering that he is human and fire.
Quently has wife and family at
home, although all of the pretty girls
that he meets on his travels do not
find it out.-Illinois S tate Journal.

Horses Shoes Get Hot.

Popular Mechanics says that
horse shod with metal shoes should
not be driven rapidly on an asphalt
pavement. The heat produced is
painful to the animal and may be in
furious. 1t cites an instance where
two men INDUCED in friendly horse
race on asphalt. One of the horses
cast shoe and when the rider picked
it up it blistered his hand and did
not cool off for several minutes. At
each step the horse slips little and
this constant friction of the metal
shoe under weight upon the sand in
the pavement generates high degree
of heat.
