THREE BIG CRACKERS.
They Had to Be Reloaded Before
They Would Go OFF.

A young lawyer in Atlanta had
northern friend livinggin small town
not great distance from the city, and
the day before the Fourth of July he
received a telegram from him running
about like this: want to celebrate in
proper style. Send by next train
few of the biggest. crackers you can
find"
1t SO happened that the lawyer had
three clients who were to be released
from Jail the following morning. They
were tall, gaunt, bearded mountain,
GERS who belonged to the class known
as Georgia crackers" and had been
locked up for making moonshine whis-
ky. The town where the patriotic
nOrtherner lived was on their way
home, and, seeing an opportunity to
have some fun, the attorney went
around to the jail and told the trio of
wild men that he would pay their rail
road fare that far if they would stop
Off and deliver note to a friend
They agreed, and he gave them a let
ter running thus: These are the big
gest crackers l could find. Hope they
/ will prove satisfactory
Next morning the suburbanite was
summoned to his door and confronted
by three huge mountaineers, who sol
EMMY handed him the note and sat
down On the front steps. HeWWas
amazed beyond measure, and when he
read the missive he realized that he
was up against it," as the saying
goes. There is very little humor about
the Georgia moonshiners, and he knew
instinctively that it would be danger
Gus to let those grim giants suspect
for moment that they had been made
the Instruments Of a joke. How tt
get rid of them was the question.
After awhile he invited them te
j breakfast and then gave them s.
apiece and told them to go and cele
brate. They promptly filed up on corr
whisky, and later in the afternoon ht
hired a man to put them aboard The
train and pay their areto their noun

A Patented Plant.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

TIoIi Tic
"One plant at least has been pat
ented," said an inventor. TT is the
Abrus precatorious, alias ~paternoster
pea, alias weather plant. John Nowack
took out the patent.
THE weather plant is still believed
by many persons to foreteu the wealth
err. John Nowack was sure IL did So.
and he put it on the market along with,
an indicating apparatus, guaranteeing
it to foretell, for forty-eight hours i'm
advance and for fifty miles around.
fog, rain, snow. hail, earthquake and
depressions likely to cause explosions
Of fire damp.
Alas for poor Nowack! The experts
of the bureau Of agriculture o up
his patented plant. They proved that
the movements of the leaves-to the
right foretelling rain, to the left fore
telling drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plants famous down.
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that p~unctured the stem,
causing the leaf naturally to drop.
THAT is the only patented plant I
know of, and Nowack lost money on
il.
But how would you like to have an
exclusive patent on the coffee tree or
the tea plant?"

So-called wandering pains" may
come from it's early stages, or the
presence of danger may be made mani
fest by p~rofuse monthly periods, accom-

If you have mysterious pains, if there

The University of Notre Dame, it np-
sears, has some features that cannot be
duplicated in any other school. 1t is n
Vt the old, well-established colleges,
With settled traditions reaching back
sixty-four years, with a distinguished
staff of professors and excellent library
and laboratory equipment. Its disci-
pline is Of the paternal kind-strong
without being oppressive; and as it
embraces in its scope the grammar
school, high school, and college work,
its appeal is as broad as it Is potent.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
Of the famous Indiana University, how
ever, is the fact that it has arrived at
It's present marvellous development abso-
utely without endowment. An an
aouncement of the courses provided at
Notre Dame appears on another pa re.

Barrettes and Backcombs.

From the jewelers. Circular Weekly.
Hair barrettes or slides divide favor
with the back comb for keeping unruly
locks in order. The handsomest OF
these are of narrow diamond bands in
terwoVen In some very open loop or
scroll patterns.
Very wide gold bracelets are of fill
gree set with green tourmalines and
diamonds OF with other colored stones,
while heavy, half round bands are or
namented in like manner. The ends of
bracelets that do not clasp are finished
with dragon, dog OF lion heads, with
half an inch between the ends.
bracelets will doubtless remain in
high favor for some time to come, n
one really should have a diversity of
styles to keep in ouch with fashion as
to appropriateness in jewels as well
as in dress.
"A new brooch has n ruby about half
an inch in diameter as a central stone,
framed in diamonds and set o with
a wide border beautifully manipulated
in diamonds. The drop stone is a large
ruby with a little ornamental cap of
diamond leaves.
Some heavy chain bracelets have the
top only of elaborate diamond scroll
work.
Many new pendants or brooches dis
pense with chains in the use of drop
stones.
Magnificent diamond brooches are
mostly in the pendant style with drop
stone somewhat closely attached.
A style shown in some costly brooch
designs where choice stones are en-
ployed has a single large stone or orna-
mental form, surrounded, as far as may
be, by a comparatively large open
space and enclosed in a band or border
of diamonds forming the outline. A
charming little pendant Of this order is
diamonds in three separate openings
across the top and finished With an or
namental base and a beautiful drop
stone without chain.
Something new in the line of collar
supporters are those finished with dia-
mond studs, where a little diamond
spray falls from the upper stud 10 rest
on the lace collar beneath.
A charming little watch in pave Liz
mond work is inset with a design in
green tourmalines. and the same de-
sign is carried out IN the chatelaine pin
to match, which is of fancy triangular
shape,
AS a variation on the perfectly fiat
gold mesh purse some of the large size
are shown, with the top slightly fuller
than the fiat frame, Stimulating a gath
ering, which makes the bottom wider
than the top OF the bag.
A diamond buffalo head and a dia-
mond and pearl bee are among rather
odd fancies In scarfpins.
A cut glass bucket for cracked ice
has a solid silver rim and handle with
fancy silver ladle or helper.

Lest We FORGET"

American Grocer: There was Il time
when tallow candles cost 10 cents each
and gave less than one-twentieth of the
Illumination for a dollar than gas gives.
There was a time, and very recently,
when gas, per unit of illumination (can-
die power) cost the public double what 1t
now does.
There was a time (still more recently
when there was no electric light turning
night into day.
There was a time when we were sat-
isied to travel four miles an hour in an
omnibus or horse car without light or
heat or transfers and pay 6 TO 10 cents for
what we now get for . cents, with light
and heat, and with speed doubled.
There was a time when we thought 1t
was ii great thing 10 be able to telegraph
to a friend for 10 cents, and yet we are not
satisfied,

Of the g~enealogist.
1T is good except that l have had to

ole"
"Why?'
Because / will not furnish an mac
surdte ore, 10 supply II to a person
who is not entitled to it. The work is
hard, for each device means a great
deal n must be traced accurately,
and nan of my patrons, alas! do not
care whether they are entitled TO it or
lot If they ca monty have something to
nang on the wall and point to and use
~ their stationery.
Not long ago / searched out a coat
IF arms for a lady and had an artist
caint it for her. After I sent it to her
I learned that it was slightly mac
curate, and as / was anxious to have
It changed at once | asked her to re-
.urn 1t 10 me a while for that purpose.
She replied:
"'Oh, no. 1t doesn't make any differ

now it would leave a bare place."

Business a Century Auo.

The merchant kept his own books, or, as
he would have SAID, his own accounts.
wrote all his letters with a quill, and,
when they were written. let the INK dry or
s%prinkled it with SAND. There were then
no envelopes, no postage stamps, no letter
boxes in the street, no collection OF the
mails. The letter written, the paper was
carefully folded. sealed with wax or a
wafer, addressed. and carried 10 a post
office, where postage was prepaid at rates
which would now seem extortiolatc. TO
send a letter, which was a single sheet of
paper, from Boston 10 New York
or philadelphia, cost 1872 cents.
and 10 Washington % cents, and
this at a time when the purchase
power of a cent was five times what
it is at present. To carry a letter from
Philadelphia. then the capital Of the Unit
ed States, 10 Boston and bring back an
answer by return mail. would have con-
sumed from twelve 10 eighteen days. ac-
