HOBBIES AND PASTIMES.
National Occupations Of People with
Time to Spare in Various
Places.

Parrots ard minas afford a never
failing source Of occupation to those
gifted with sufficient patience to IN
dertake the task Of teaching these
birds to speak. A fayorite method
with bird trainers is to lower the cage
of the coping, to pour forth for cou-
pie of hours nightly monotonous
repetition Of Pretty Polly" etc.
Others seek the seclusion of dark
room for the same purpose.
Various places lend themselves to
particular hobbies In the Andaman
islands mother Of pearl is plentiful,
and everybody goes in either for pol
ishing shells or making rings and
bracelets from them.
Gibraltar has its staple hobby in
rock ornaments made from a beauti-
fully veined stone which abounds, is
easily worked and takes high polish.
This is a very profitable hobby, as
brooches, crosses, paper weights, Bible
and prayer-book markers and other
knickknacks find a ready sale among
tourists
In Burma the land of teak, the cary
ing of deliberately decorated photo
frames enables many a man to while
away hours that would otherwise be
dreary. And at Bhamo pleasure may
be combined with profit in fashioning
ornaments Of serpentlne.
In India soldiers recovering from
serious illness are usually sent to hill
stations to complete their cure, and
can find plenty of wood to white into
walking sticks. For one of these
sticks which the writer has an offer of
G2 los. was made. It's actual value as
stick might be about one shilling,
but 1t is covered with most elaborate
carvings Of birds and flowers, and
represents four months work.

1T WAS JUST LIKE HIM.
A Hopeful Employees Expectations
Dashed by His Close
Employer.

In banking office in New Orleans Is
an aged bookkeeper who began his con-
nection with the business the day It
was established AS the years went by,
the proprietor, who had started with
little, but was extremely "close,"
amassed an enormous fortune. The
bookkeeper piled up but small amount
OF savings, relates the New Orleans
Picayune.
At last the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the firm and of the bookkeeper's
service came along. He remembered 1t,
but thought no one else would. To his
surprise, the proprietor spoke Of it al
once.
Williams" he said, "do you know
what day this is?"
Our tweny-fifth anniversary, sir
at is indeed, Williams. And now !
have thought fit to commemorate the
event, and | have put in this envelope
for you small gift to express my APP
probation of your faithful service"
The bookkeeper, his hopes raised
high, took the envelope from his en-
ployer and opened it. The token" was
a photograph Of the employer.
Well" demanded the donor, as the
other hesitated. What did you want
to say about it,"
"It's just like you'll" murmured the
bookkeeper. ITS just like you!"

nearly $500, 600, 600. In the Chicago iire
probably less than 500 met death, while
&here is reason to believe that thousands
N,bst their lives in the dire holocaust OF
the metropolis Of California; and proba-
bly, ten times as many people were IN
| iured in San Francisco during the fright
full cataclysm preceding the fire in that
city last week Wednesday than were
injured in the Heretofore unparalleled
confiagration-the disastrous Chicago
fire of 1871. About 100, 900 people were
rendered homeless by the Chicago fire,
while more than 200, 600 are now with
out habitations of their own in the
stricken western city.
But as the metropolis ofthe Mississippi
Valley rapidly recuperated from the
appalling calamity that came to her
nearly thirty. five years ago, so the in
domitable activity and high emprise OF
the sturdy, enterprising inhabitants of
the ruined city on the Pacific coast will,
beyond the shadow of doubt, bend all
their energies toward recouping their
material fortunes and rebuilding the
city which is now the scene Of devasta-
ton.
1t is expected that the property losers
will secure, in the aggregate, about
$40 900, 600 in the shape of insurance.
1t is stated that some of the fire insur-
ance companies that carried the greater
part of the risks on San Francisco
property will pay without resorting to
legal quibbling over the fact that the
fire was primarily caused by an earth
quake. The companies that are willing
to pay at the earliest possible moment
are entitled to much credit; but if any
insurance companies that wrote insur-
ance on property now laid in ashes III
the stricken city should question theil
liability and start legal battle, such
companies should be boycotted by the
American people in future.
At this writing the situation at San
Francisco is already beginning to i'm
prove The American people have not
been slow to respond to the dire need:
of the sufferers New York and Chicago
have each given more than million OF
dollars. All the other large cities OF
the country, and many of the smaller
ones too, have contributed generously
toward the relief of the starving, home
less thousands in the western city, Con
gress has appropriated 81, 500, 600 for the
benefit of the sufferers.

The council acted wisely in needing
good, sound advice short time ago
when they appointed Judge Simon Gillen
of Sheboygan to represent the city in the
appraisement of the water plant.
Several aldermen argued that it was
necessary to secure the services of n
practical man rs appraiser. They
apparently lost sight Of the fact that
the work Of appraising water works
system calls for the ability to weigh
evidence-the ability to take large
view of an important matter under con
sideration-the ability to figure, to in
quire scientifically into all matters hay
ing direct bearing on the work In
hand.
Any man Of thorough education, good
Judgment and honest purpose makes n
good appraiser; whereas an honest man
who is merely practical and who thus
lacks large intellectual training may.
and often is, altogether too narrow to
make good appraiser.

The disaster that has oyertalien San
Francisco is the worst calamity that has
ever befallen al American city. The
awful holocaust that has practically
annihilated the beautiful enormously
wealthy Golden Gate city has been more
destructive to life and property than
the great Chicago fire Of 1871 was. The
last-mention.l confagration reduced
three and onethird square miles Of
buildings TO ashes, whereas the San
Francisco fire resulting from an earth
quake last week consumed or ruined an
area of buildings comprising approx.
mately ten square miles. The property
loss 10 the Chicago fire u 1871 amounted
to a sum IN the neighborhood Of 500,
100000, whereas the property loss
sustained by San Francisco is, according
to apparently. conservative estimates,

THE UNSOPHlSTICATED MAN
Thought to Have for Himself a
Drawer in the Bureau, But
All in Vain.

Once wise man built large house.
He said:
Il will place in this house many bu-
reaus. There shall be bureaus ON all
sides, in all the rooms. They shall be
large, reaching from the floors to the
ceilings, and in these bureaus there
shall be hundreds and hundreds of
drawers. Then | shall say to my wife:
This one little bureau drawer down
here in the left-hand corner Of the cell
lar, under the stairway, is mine. All the
rest of the bureau drawers, my dear.
are yours
And the house of the wise man was
finished, and in it were one mile OF bu-
reaus, and in the bureaus there were
$4,000 drawers, relates the Denver News.
And 1t was late Saturday night when
the last load of furniture was moved
into the house and put in place.
Sunday morning this wise man arose
with light heart He tiptoed to the lit
tie drawer down under the stairway in
the cellar to get himself a clean shirt and
a change of underwear. He paused and
exclaimed:
"At last | have a private drawer"
He stopped and pulled the drawer and
looked In.
There were wells, feathers. ruching,
hairpins, red ribbons, blue ribbons, safe
ty pins. petticoats, silk stockings, pow
der puffs, corset covers, trading stamps,
chewing gum shoestrings and other ar
ticles too numerous to mention.
The wise man dug out his stiff shirt.
his underclothes and clean collar and
carefully wrapped them in an old news
paper. lie carried them to his room and
showed them under his bed
Then he went out doors and meditatod.

out any inconvenience to the patient
or the pursuing of his daily vocation.
If you are improving under your fani-
1y physician do not come and take up
their valuable time. They wish to give
each one plenty of time, but cannot
listen to long stories not pertaining to
your case.
They have discarded the old reme-
dies used for ages by the medical
world and which it would be folly to
depend upon any longer for they do
not cure, as thousands die depending
on them for relief.
The fact that these Specialists have
discovered entirely new treatments

turn. If you have weak lungs or con-
sumption do not fail to be examined.

or treated with heretofore. Thousands
who have given up all hope of being
cured, now have an opportunity to con.
suit specialists of reputation.
