lace-8ark.

There are in all about half dozen
lace-bark trees in the world, so called
because the inner bark yields nat
ural lace in ready-made sheet form,
which can be made up in servtceable
articles of apparel. Only four of
these curious species Of trees are of
much practical value. Tourists who
have stopped at Hawaii or Samoa
may recall the lace-bark clothing of
the natives-clothing of neat brown
color when new. of remarkable
strength and Of fragrant odor, like
freshly cured tobacco leaf. The ma
tive tapa cloth, as it is called, is made
from the bark of the brusonetia papi-
rifera, but it is not usually included
among the real lace-bark trees.

An eminent preacher gave as his
text, Gas man thinketh, so is he"
After the sermon a lay brother said
to the pastor:
"Your sermon was a scholarly eff
fort, but cannot agree with you in
your premises.
81 am very sorry" replied the
preacher. 81 gave great deal of
thought and study to that sermon.
To what part of it do you take ex-
ception ?"

A Substitute For Teeth.

81 think the funniest experience
I ever had," said photographer,
"was with an old lady of seventy
years. She wanted good looking
picture because she'd got it into
her head she wasn't going to live
long and she wanted all her relatives
unto her third and fourth cousin to
have something by which to remem-
ber her. She couldn't bring herself
to buy set Of false teeth, however,
and her mouth fell ia woefully with
out them. 1 was despairing of
making an attractive picture of her
when she suddenly produced some
crusts of bread from her handbag
and stuffed them into her mouth.
When she'd put in enough to make
her lips and cheeks fill out she ex-
planned to me rather thickly that
the crusts would do just as well as
false teeth. And the strangest thing
was that they did do very well, and l
got good picture"

ENGLISH DRvmmERs.
The Way Their Comfort 10 Looked
Aftsr At the Hotels.

The Way Their Comfort 10 Looked
Aftsr a. the Hotels.
"Traveling men in England have
special dining rooms, special rates
and special lots of things" said a
citizen of Manchester, England.
"When you 60 into the lobby Of
an English hotel you may be sur
prised to find great open fire burn
ing in one end of the room. Great,
comfortable chairs will be found
about the lobby, and you need not
exclaim if you see several statesmen
smoking long pipes and reposing
their stockinged feet upon large
foot stools. Empty shoes can be
found in many portions of the room.
"The English lobby is a parlor or
sitting room, a place of comfort, and
in no instance bears the stiff, var
nished, emblazoned appearance of
your American hostelries. When you
60 to the dining room you may be
surprised to hear the clerk ask if you
are travelling man. If you are you
are ushered into simply but home
ly furnished room containing one
long table. The apartment is more
like private dining room, and ev-
erybody is everybody else's friend.
"The meal is especially served,
the walters show especial Difference,
and everything bears tone of home
life. As each man leaves the table
he is seen to drop halfpenny in a
little box. This is an unwritten law
Of the land, and the money thus col
lected goes to pay for schools and
orphanages for the children If trav-
cling salesmen who die without leav-
ing sufficient means for their sup
port. Several of these schools and
orphanages are maintained through
out England.
English travelling salesmen take
life easier than do the men following
similar occupation in America.
They never think Of entering a
mans store with lighted cigar, and
they would as soon forget to wear a
collar or coat as to expect to do
business with man without having
their shoes carefully polished. All
hotels look to this, and boots gets
your shoes each night, marks them
with chalk, polishes them and re-
turns them before you are awake the
next day." = Louisville Courier
Journal.

A Heroic Recipe.

A young woman, one of many,
who, being afflicted with a sudden
and mad desire to become an actress,
once called on the late Lester Wal
lack and requested his assistance in
getting on the stage. The most deb
onair of actor-managers looked at
her in his own light comedy way
and asked:
care you married?"
NO" replied the aspirant.
"My dear young lady," said Mr..
Wallack, ego and get married, have
two or three children, lose them, be
beaten by your husband, get di-
vorce and then come back and try
to act"

Historic oak for Chairs.

terial for the interior Of two fine new

to the Pullman company for use In cal

Western Texas Is to have Its rail-

two thousand miles during the pres

on some Of the projected lines, and
Is progressing with vigor. The Kan

building across the state from north
to south, a distance of 500 miles.
1t will also construct a branch from
San Angelo to Del Rio, a distance Of

The Texas Central is to build q
$50 mile extension from Stamford,
Texas, to a connection with the Rock

Of the Texas Central system will be
known as the Abilene and Northern.
1t will build from a point on the Tex.

a route for a road to be built from
Quanah, Texas, to FL Paso, a distance
of more than 400 miles. OF which
