A decision has been handed down in the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals in the case of publishing house (Scribners), against department store (R. H. Macy & Co,), sustaining the contention of the store that it had right to sell copyright books at what ever prices it saw fit The decision was rendered on an appeal from that of Judge Ray. One of the arguments used by the publishers in attempting to force the store to sell books at higher prices, was that it was in the interest of the authors The decision says that while cutting the prices may be disas- trous to the publisher in the sale of book, it is not satisfactorily shown that 1t is hurtful to the author.

The explosion of a radium tube re- ported by German investigator gives an idea of the force the emitted gas may store up when confined. A small tube of a glass a fiftieth of an inch thick contained half grain of the purest radium bromide, and 1t had been placed in a bath of liquid air. Three minutes after 1t was removed the tube burst. The glass and the radium were scattered about, the particles of the lat ter shining in the dark like starry sky, and it is estimated that a pressure of twenty atmospheres was exerted.

This is world of change. European newspapers have been printing adver- tisements declaring it to be to the ad- vantage of Count Montecuocilo to make known his whereabouts. At last he was brought to light in Siberia, acting as a railroad guard. Broken by wild- ness and extravaganza, he had had to quit the Austrian navy and flee. Going from bad to worse, he had taken the lowest rank on the Siberian railroad. 1t was now his lot to learn that his uncle. head of his house, had died and left him enormous estates and $1 OOO, ,OOO year.

The Inns of Old England.

Efforts We're continually being made
in England to keep down the number
of inns. In the reign of Edward /.
there were only three in the whole n
London. Even in 1862 no mGa than
forty were legally perp'1ed in the me-
tropolis, now spresJ out its bound
aries on ever-sSsie. York might have
eight' Nor'Eich, Exeter and Cambridge
Ioar. -s-ristol six and Oxford three.
.1nese regulations must have been set
at naught in very wholesale manner,
for half a century later there were 400
houses of call'' in that part Of London
known as the City and no fewer than
twenty-four clustered round Covent
Garden. In medieval Oxford it was
ruled that no ''victualer' was eligible
for the Office OF mayor, and this term
included an innkeeper.

Thackerax and Dickens.

This Is the way George Henry Lewes
once characterized Thackeray and
Dickens in the way of service to a
friend: Dickens. he said, would not
give you a farthing of money. but he
would take no end OF trouble for you
He would spend a whole day. for in
stance, in looking for the most suitable
lodgings for you and would spare him
self neither time nor fatigue Thacke-
ray would take two hours grumbling
indecision and hesitation in writing a
TWO line testimonial. but he would put
his hand into his pocket and give you a
handful of gold and bank notes If you
wanted them.

THE WARLIkE MOROS.
They Prize Their weapons and Would
Rather Fight Than Eat.

An inordinate military coneeit is
dominant quality of the Moro. To him
there is but one measure of defeat-to
wit, humiliation If beaten, he ex-
poets nothing less; If he meets less, he
has saved the day. perhaps won a vic
tory. They are all of one profession
arms. As children their first toys are
wooden arms, their first instruction the
play Of the sword and the spear What
ever else as men they may be-priest,
farmer, robber, pirate, merchant, law
yer-they are always, first, soldiers.
For a young man to lose his creese
means to lose his right to marry. and
it is the desire of all to die creese in
hand In fear Of loss they sleep on
these precious arms or with them tied
to the body. For the same reason their
cannon are kept dashed to timbers in
their houses
Firearms, indeed, are their main dan
ger with civilized people. II they see
the opportunity thereby to secure such
arms, Moros can never resist the temp

they will risk all, lose all and never

4 Lure For Cock Robin.

Two coins clinked together give so
good an imitation of the robins metal
lie note that this device has long been
employed in England to attract the
welcome ''harbinger of spring" For
merly male robins We're shared by the
blinking of two copper pennies near q
dummy bird. The dummy was perched
on a twig smeared with bird lime, and
cock robin, attracted by the sound and
suspecting a rival, flew at him with
blood in his eye This is in violation of
the bird laws in the United States, and
no one who lives where robins make
their home in confidence is likely to
give the odd trick SO unpleasant a
finale The clinking coppers serve a
much more agreeable purpose as a
means of rendering cock robin socia-

TIE REAL VALUE.
How All Literature Ii Contained In q
Few Great Books.

Young people must every now and
then hear it said or see it written that
all the real value in literature can be
put upon small shelf-that is to say,
the really important part of all that is
written is contained In a very few
good books, all the rest being either
unimportant or different ways of say
Ing the same things that have been
said before The statement of course,
is not true If 1t be taken literally.
There are certainly many hundreds,
perhaps thousands, OF books that con-
tain original thoughts or experiences
that are truly valuable: but, generally
speaking, the best part of all that has
been written is to be fouEd in a few
volumes. To understand how this is
possible we must remember that near
IL all rules are the same as other and
simpler rules. In arithmetic, for ex-
ample, the whole science consists of
only four simple ways of treating num-
bers. We can add, subtract, multiply
and divide, and that is all we can do
to numbers. The rest Of the book is
only the working out Of these four
rules; thus all of the arithmetic could
easily be put into a little page that
one could carry In the vest pocket
AL behavior, all right living. Is also
set forth in a few simple laws. These
! Illustrations will show what Is meant
by saying that all literature is contain
ed In q few great books. The Bible
aud the works of few famous poets
and essayists contain all human wis
dom, and these are within the reach OF
every purse.-St Nicholas.

LACE BARK TREES.
The Beautiful and ServiceabIe Dress
Materials They Yield.

There are in all about hall q dozen
lace bark trees in the world, so called
because the inner bark yields natural
lace in ready made sheet form, which
can be made up in serviceable 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 Misunderstanding
of neat brown color when new, Of re-
markable strength and of a fragrant
odor, ike freshly cured tobacco leaf.
The native tapa cloth, as it IS called,
is made from the bark of the Bruso-
META papirifera, but il is not usually
included among the real lace bark
trees. In its natural state the real lace
bark Is of q delicate cream white tint.
1t is probably a kind Of fibr0us pith.
When the outer bark is removed it can
be unfolded and unwound in one seam
less piece, having a surface Of a little
more than a square yard Washing
and sun bleaching give il dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is airily
light. 1t is used in the West Indies for
mantfllas, cravats, collars, window cur
tains-fn word. for every purpose
that ordinary lace is used. In making
up shawls, wells and the like it is Gus
tomary 70 piece two sheets of lace
bark together. Delicate and apparently
weak as it is in single mesh, bit of
lace bark if rolled into a thin string
will all but resist human strength to
break it.-NeW York World

FINGER FELoNS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful Sores.

a felon. or whitlow. IS an indamma-
ton Of the hand or finger. usually of
the last joint OF the finger. Its impor-
lance varies with the seat of it-that is
to say. with the portion Of the finger
involved. 1t may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the fibrous
covering Of the bone-the periosteum.
4 superficial whltlow. where the In
fiammatio1 is confined TO the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise 1t
is not d very serious matter. But this
cannot he said Of the other two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms
in the fibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon. and unless the Inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into the palm Of the hand and result in
a permanent crippling of the member.
The third variety-ca1led by ply
sicians the subperiosteal-is that in
which matter forms beneath the mem
brane which covers the bone. As this
membrane is tough and inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to q throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this infamed finger, right down TO the
bone is magical although the cut
hurts This is the only treatment for
this form of felon, and the incision
should be made early. for if it is too
long delayed the bone viii be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which viii later necessitate a surgical
operation even if it does not result in
the loss of the last joint of the finger
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment.
4 4 clay poultice often affords great re-
/ lief This may be made by making a
paste of clay previously sterilized by
4 baking in a very hot oven and adding
\ glycerin to prevent too rapid drying. OF
\ the clay may be olSained ready prepar-
/ ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger from injury, keeps It cool and, If
applied early enough, may prevent the
formation of matter When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety of the felon, the safest plar
Of treatment is to cut into the Unframed
finger and give exit TO the confined
matter and relieve the tension Of the
parts.-Youth's Companion.

A Fortune In a Song.

Song writing is one of the most lu-
crative of occupations, provided one
has the knack of appealing to the pop
ular taste. The average writer stands
a better chance of making money by
producing pathetic rather than so called
comic songs. The Lost Chord has
made three or four fortunes. It has
been the most lasting success on rec
ord, and for years Sir Arthur Sullivan,
as composer, and Madam Antoinette
Sterling, for whom it was specially
written. received a royalty amounting
to II cents each on every copy sold. II
was gold mine to the publishers too.

UNCONGENiAL FLOWERS.
Mignonette and Roses. For Instance
VIII Not Mix

The florist frowned as he took up an
order for a table decoration THAT
will never do" he muttered After
calling up the customer and suggest
ing a change, he told his new clerk a
few things
"You must never take an order that
calls for a mixture of mignonette and
roses" he said. "A centerpiece of
those two flowers wouldn't last half
through the luncheon. They simply
wilt one another. l don't know why,
but they can't get along together.
st is true Of many flowers Pansies,
for instance, last twice as long if they
are not combined with any other flow
er, and the same may be said of vio-
lets. JonQuils and daffodils, OF the
other hand, seem TO get new lease
Of life If you combine considerable
green with them Carnations will go
all to pieces if you combine them with
roses, although the roses do not seem
to be affected
1T is more striking in combinations
Of green with flowers. If you try to
use an entirely different type of To-
liage from what the flower is used to,
1t wont last so long. So l never put
