The Problem Of the Dollar.

A gunner brought 60 ducks to
game dealer and told him to sell one
lot of 30 at three ducks for 81, and
the other lot Of 30 at two for 81. In
stead Of this the storekeeper sold the
whole 50 at five for 81. which brought
in $24. If he had sold them as directed
he would have received $40 ior one
lot Of 80, and SIS for the other lot of
30, making total of $25. The question
is what became of the missing dollar.

The lovely fall weather Of Monday
was followed on Tuesday by a strong
wind from the northwest which brought
with it Tuesday night snow squall of
large proportions, which covered the
ground and chung with tenacity to the
trees, shrubbery and buildings. So far
this season frost of little or no conse-
quence has been noticed and the leaves
are as green now as they were in Aug
ust. With the snow covering them the
contrast is very marked.

MUSICAL CANES IN MUSEUM.
Violin and Flutes Made in Imitation
of Walking Sticks.

Among the queer instruments in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York, are cane violin and three cane
flutes. The former is peculiar, mar
row instrument of small size, but per
feet in every detail, made in imitation
Of a walking stick and furnished with
an ornamental knob handle. The
strings are held by small iron pins
and are tuned with key. When, rot
In use small bow slips Within athe
stick and round cover, held by metal
bands, conceals the clever little in
strument. The length Of the violin is
two feet IL inches, and it's greatest
widthris one and three-quarters inches.
It is German conceit, and dates
from the nineteenth century. Like
the cane violin, the cane flute is also
of German make, but it dates from
early in the eighteenth century. The
hure is>in c, and is made Of a light
wood ornamented with turned bands
of the same color and finished with
a knob. The lower JOINT is solid. 1t
has six finger holes and one fiat brass
key. The instrument is blown at the
side like the transverse flute, and is
an excellent sounder. It is three feet
long, and it requires close inspec'
ton to see that the cane contains a
flute.

Gate In a Tree TOP,

A tall forest tree with barnyard
gate swaying gently to and fro among
the upper branches is the, curious
object to be- seen along the big Cone
WACO creek in this county, says a dis
patch from York, Pa. The tree grows
on. the bank of the creek near the
village of Kunkle's> Mills, and the re-
gion is a popular retreat for campers
and outing parties.
In the year of the Johnstown flood
heavy, protracted rains had swollen all
Pennsylvania streams. The Cone
WACO creek, like the deathsdealing
Conemaugh, be came roaring torrent.
Among the wreckage carried along
was the gate. It became entangled
in the branches of a sapling. When
the waters receded the gate chung to
the sapling high above the water
line. The. sapling has since. grown to
be towering tree, and the gate with
the growth Of the tree has risen
steadily, until now it is seventy feet
or more above, the bed of the creek.

'E5.=s Striking cokemakers, .4} {.
There is not a; single: side Of our In
dustrial life which, the traffic man 4
ayers work does, not touch, says the
Review of Reviews. A year tor two
ago a strike at the coke ovens imam
ron-manufacturing center threatened
paralysis of all the industries OF the
neighborhood. You can't smelt ore,
or run ;'pigs" or make steel without
coke, and all of a sudden one day, the
coke men went out in! a. body. mo
doubt they thought they should tie
up the iron-making industry, and that
the pressure that would result would
be too much for the employers to With:
stand. On their part, though, the EN-.
ployers made up their minds that they
could not afford to yield an inch of
their ground, no matter what the con.
sequences to others might be. p.
It made no difference what the mer-
its of the dispute between the strikers
and their employers were to the traffic
manager to whom the steel industries
appealed for assistance. All he could
consider was that the shelters and
furnaces were menaced; that il they
could not get coke they must close
down. that il they closed down 5000
or 5000 men would be out of employ
ment, and that the town would get a
setback from which it might take two
or three years to recover. Meantime
freight, the traffic managers everlast
ing care, would seriously diminish in
volume There would be no pig IRON
nor steel billets, no, rails to carry out
and there would be fewer barrels OF
flour, less household necessities, to
bring in.
What did he do, then? BY for.
tunate provision of nature, coal mines
and iron mines nearly everywhere lie
side by Side. Cheap fuel close at
hand is an important factor in the iron
industries, and when the strike de-
prived these steel men of their usual
local supply of coke the railroad sim
ply made temporary rate to the
threatened locality from the big fields
of Pennsylvania The rate didn't pay
the actual expense of carriage. but it
kept the steel mills going and saved a
loss to the community that would
have mounted up, very likely, into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars;
also, it saved the railroad a good bit.

MAIZYPOP IN ENGLAND.

IT'S Just Good Old cony Island Pink
and White Popcorn.
Maizypop in London is the product
OF the latest American invasion.
1t is asserted, says What to Eat,
that the record for such introductions
has been broken in this case; for it
took just one week to form a company
to register the trademark and to lease
a building. In the second week the
finished product was being turned out.
Maizypop is simply popcorn as we
are familiar with it, in pink and white
cakes wrapped in oiled paper. The
name is a concession to the language
Of England, where corn is known as
maize.
The two Americans who have start.
ed maizypop upon it's career first
bought the foreign rights for popcorn
machinery, then arranged to- control
the export of shelled corn from the
United States for ten years.

COLOR BLINDNESS OF POET.

Whittier Bought Flaming Red Necktie
for One OF Olive Tint.
It is we'll known that the poet Whit.
tier was color blind and unable to dis.
tinguish red from green. He once
bought himself a necktie which he
supposed to be of a modest and suita'
BILE olive tint and wore it-once. He
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that it offended
against the traditional Quietness OF
costume enjoined alike by the habits
of the Friends and by his own taste.
The tie was of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion when he found
a little girl in distress on account OF
a new gown made overffrom her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to
her co1oring and complexion, he tried
to console her.
II wouldn't mind what a rude boy
says about it, Mary" he said, kindly.
Thee looks very we'll, indeed, in it
like an Dread, Mary, dressed all in
green"
Unfortunately Mary was not dressed
in green. She was red haired and her
dress was red; that was the trouble
Once on a. day in March, when out
walking with a Friend and deeply en-
gagged in conversation, Mr.. Whittier
approached too near for safety to a
place where blasting was going on.
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend noticed it until a work
man. violently waving his arms and
shouting, leaped before them and
warned them back.
II didn't see the flag at ALL" said
Mr.. Whittier's companion.
II saw it, rejoined the poet, with a
twinkle in his eye, ''but thought it
was in honor of St. Patrick-thee
knows my defect l can't tell Erin
from explosions, except by the harp!"
