The New Orleans organ man is not,
as In most cities, an Italian, but d
negro. He is usually young and al
ways strong. since the up to-date
street music box is a mighty machine
and requires as much muscle as skill
to manage properly. Numa Pompilius

the town from early morning until
midnight. To the casual observer,
says the Metropolitan, this may APP
pear a monotonous vocation, but
Numa does not think so; anything Is
better than pushing a go-cart or
working in the fields. The pickanin-
MES who follow Numa from corner to
corner know his fondness for cigars.
He, on the other hand, knows their de-
light in turning the organ crank. Here,
then, is a fine opportunity for COM
plete reciprocity. Numa receives an
assorted collection of cigar stumps
picked up on the streets, and in turn
the pickaninnies are privileged to play

blacks have not yet mastered the art of

SKETCHES AS FAVORS.
Monarch of Portugal Kept Busy Doing
WaterColor Portraits
for Gifts.

The king of Portugal. besides be-
ing considered an authority upon
culinary questions, is an enthusiastic
amateur painter. 1t will be remem-
berer that several of his pictures re-
ceived awards at the recent interna-
tional exposition in Paris, and each
year he finishes a number of water
colors. pastels, and pen-and-ink draw
ings.
In summer when he is residing on
his estate in the north of Portugal he
makes many water color sketches OF
the young natives of that region. They,
knowing their kings fondness for
sketchng them, seek every occasion
for crossing his path. One girl who
was about to be married recently
wrote him, saying that in honor OF
the coming event she would like t.
have one of the sketches which he
had doubtless made of her The king,
greatly amused summoned her to his
presence. and, quickly sketching her
portrait. presented it to her as we'd
ding gift A week after another
pretty girl asked the same favor OF
him, and again the king granted het
desire.
Since then he has been overwhelmed
with petitions each summer, and eac /
summer royalty grants them, to the
great delight of these, his rural
subjects.

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, But
Upon Vital Force.

In Middlebury lately there has been a
good deal of discussion in regard to old
people. Some at fifty years call them
selves old, and really appear so, while
others at seventy years seem active,
vigorous and young.
1t is not years, but it is loss of vital
force that makes person old. Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and Door
circulation soon start functional powers
and vitality on the wane, and then the
symptoms of old age quickly appear
Our well known druggist, milford R.
Burt, says that old feeling may be
warded off, and we wish every person in
Middlebury who feels old, whether.they
are so in years or not, would try the
great discovery, Vinol. We know that
it has vital principles which will in a
natural manner strengthen digestion,
send rich, red blood coursing through
the veins, and give new life and strength
to every organ of the body, and this is
what makes the old feel young again.
Mrs. H. w. Avery says:
"At the age of eighty-nine felt the
need of a tonic something to strengthen
and build me up. For some time | have
been taking Vinol. and have found that
it brings vigor and renewed vitality to
the aged as nothing else will"
Vinol repairs worn tissues. checks the
natural decline and replaces weakness
with strength. 1t is an ideal body builder
for old folks.
We promise you that Vinol is, first of
all, agreeable, because it contains no
flshy oil. Second. that it is a genuine
cod liver medicine, containing all the
medicinal curatives and strengthening
elements taken direct from fresh cod
livers; and third, we will return your
money if it does not DO exactly what we
claim for it," milford r. Burt, druggist.

cOURTSHIPS IN ALASKA.
Natives Have a Decidedly Unique
Method of Bringing Matters

II In the village of Tigara, in north
western Alaska, one sees a young man
beating out a piece of metal and fash

ed for some young woman; but it re-
mains, says the author of Short
Sketches from Oldest America" for the
meeting of the two mothers to arrange
matters.
The two families may be living close
together, yet the mother of the young
man will call on her neighbor, and tell
her how she has intended to be more
neighborly, but she has been so busy.
The neighbor will declare how de-
lighted she is to see her.
Then mother number one begins to
tell what great hunter her son is, and
how good he is. Mother number two

knows how to cook everything.
Mother number one declares that they
are never hungry in their igloo, as son
is always successful, and brings lots Of
seals home
Mother number two remarks that her
daughter is such a good sewer, and
knows how to chew a beautiful boot
sole.
1t is finally decided that the young
man shall enter the girls family on a
sort of trial. If the girl turns up her
nose and makes faces, he may as well
leave, as the match will never amount
to anything; but should she greet him
with an occasional smile and allow him
to sit by her side in the evening, it will
all be clear sailing. and they will unite

MOTOR-cAR MECHANISM.
Propulsive Power Is Obtains Cd
Through the Process of
Explosion.

Inc working principle of the motor
which has given the automobile this
wonderful new life is, roughly. the
principle of the rife, says the Amer
lean illustrated Magazine. The charge
OF gas Is the equivalent of the gun
powder, and the piston is the bullet:
the gas Is exploded and the piston file,
forward, and the piston rod delivers its
motion to the crank shaft of the steam
engine. In the steam engine the
steam works against both sides of the
piston; in two revolutions of the fly
wheel the steam presses against ths
piston four times. In the explosion
engine, according to the prevailing
system, the gas operates against only
one side of the piston (the end of the
cylinder through which the piston rod
works is completely open), and there
is an explosion but once in two revo-
lutions of the fywheel-that is, thers
Is but single explosion to four move.
ments of the piston. Those four move
ments are the power stroke (caused
by the explosion in the cylinder),
which supplies the energy to drive the
automobile and the force required to
complete the three non-power strokes:
second, a backward stroke which
pushes the exploded gases out of the
chamber through valve which opens
for this purpose; third, forward
stroke which sucks the charge of gas
into the chamber through an inlet
valve, and, fourth, a backward stroke
which congresses the gas, for COM
preston Is necessary to secure the best
energy of the gas. The fifth stroke is
the first stroke over again-the gas ex-
plodes and the piston shoots bulletlike
forward.

EARTH GETS BACK GOLD.
Treasures Hidden Away in Buried
Receptacles ana Cities of
Ancient Times.

Gold reverts to the earth in many
ways. Treasure troves are being I'M
earthed constantly, especially in foreign
countries and in romantic countries
such as Mexico, the Indies and South
America, where passions and riches run
like the tides, high and low. Isn't it
natural that lovelorn Mexican should
bury his treasure rather than think his
rival might get it? Many treasures have
been buried in the desert, and a lone
rider at dead of night might be seen
in the old days digging up the gold he
needed from time to time. The secret
was his and his alone. II he should
chance to meet death suddenly the Sc
cret died with him. The excavations
that are being made in Greece and Egypt
show gold-trimmed ornaments, jewelry
and precious stones that have lain for
centuries beneath cities whose struggle
for gold has contrasted strangely with
the calm wealth lying just below them.
These treasure troves which come TO
the surface every year probably repre-
sent but a small part of that which has
been concealed, and every ship which
founders at sea takes a certain amount
of gold with it, which may amount to
anywhere from few pounds to mill
lions.
