In arithmetic Captain Hank is not

knows the difference between whole

times gets the two styles of trading
mixed.

"Well, now, I'll tell YOU" said
Hank, deliberately. Il have two
kinds of rates, hullsale and retail.
Ones for a week or more. and the
others for a week or less. If We take
it a week or more, that'll cost you at
the rate of SO cents a day, three dol
lars and half a week. But for less
than a week I don't feel as if | ought
to charge quite SO high. If gives
more folks a chance to rent boats
when you don't have them out SO
long. So for less than week |
charge at the rate of three dollars a
week, and for five days-well, that
won't cost you more'n a dollar and

The kina and the RotanIst.

King Oscar, who had just celebrated
his birthday, Is the hero OF a story
told by M. CASTOR BONNER, the eminent
French botanist. M. BONNER was bot
anizing in the neighborhood of Stock
holm, and he met stranger similarly
engaged.
The two botanists fraternized, and
luncheon time arriving, the Frenchman
asked his friend if he knew of an inn
to which they could repair.
Come to lunch with me-" was the
reply. The invitation was accepted
and M. BONNER. following, presently
found himself in front of the royal
palace. His face indicted his astonish-
ment, but his host apologized.
81 am SO sorry he said, ''but hap
pen to be the king of this country
and this is the only place in which
am able to receive my guests. Won't
you come in?"
And M. BONNER went in, and the two
botanists talked botany all afternoon

Washes Her Change.

Mrs. Robinson was chinking some
coins around in a basin OF water.
What under the canopy of heaven
are you doing?" inquired ler hus
band
She looked a little sheepish and
murmured, Washing the fish mon

He looked at her stupidity. 'Well,
it's this way" she said, defantly, 81
can't bear to use the money which the
fish man gives me in change. 1t al
ways smells of the finny tribe, and
it's not imagination, either. So
just take scrubbing brush and a
little sapolio and clean it. And. to
tell the truth, often wash the money
l get in change in the trolley cars
and in the shops. Some of it is so
grimy and greasy that hate to touch
it until it goes under the scrubbing
brush"
Goodness" calculated her hus-
band, such a waste of timei Why,
you're really only scrubbing it up for
other people, for it goes right out Of
your hands again"
That's just what it does not do, "
said the woman. 1T makes me econ
omical. The money looks so bright

it and get dirty coin back. So | don't

used to do before l did the washing

adopr~d and would do much to curb
the spread of the disease.
OF these, personal cleanliness and
good sanitary arrangements generally
stand In the front rank. Protection
to the feet and legs is also an obvious
precaution and one which, IL put into
universal practice among the inhabi-
tants Of tropical regions, would be a
step in the right direction of in

The whole question is an economic
one that affects the government of the
United States directly. Not only
within the borders of our own CONT

dicially affect the physical well being
and prosperity of large number OF
the inhabitants, but in Port Rico and
In the Philippines, for the health and
progress of whose inhabitants we are
now responsible, the malady is q
scourge.
Further than this, Central America
is hotbed Of hookworm disease, and
if measures are not put into force
promptly to check it's spread, it will
undoubtedly be prominent cause Of

RINGS WITH SECRET LockET.
Pebbles Mounted for Sleeve Links and
Other JeWeIry Novelties.

Other JeweIry Novelties.
Some mems gold signet rings have
secret locket' tops, and the same idea
is applied to gold sleeve links, with
oval tops opening in like manner, to
hold tiny photograph.
All sorts of odd links and knots are
seen on fancy bracelets.
A hairpin jar of crystal, of octagon
form, has chrub design on the silver
top.
For unique effects, that of wearing
uncut jewels, mounted as pendants or
charms, is gaining favor
Toothbrush stands have the frame
at the top fitted with glass caps, made
to slide over the brushes they accom-
modate, as a means of protecting
them from dust.
There is fancy just now of having
pebbles mounted, not as heirlooms,
but for their beauty! Mounted in sill.
yer or gold, being duly polished, they
may be made useful as sleeve links.
The narcissus is one of the prettiest
designs seen on silver toilet sets, be,
ing a conventional arrangement in
filling the space assigned with the
natural form of flower and leaf
For the debutante is an engagement
book of pompadour design, or hand
painted with rosebuds or forget-me
nots, and finished with gold clasps
and a pretty gold pencil attached
by a slender chain.
Among the taking frivolities of the
moment are the useful little trinkets
in miniature form which, if not indis'
pensable, are, as within of fashion,
still worth while possessing for their
beauty and grace.
A charming cross displays two en-
eralds alternating with beautiful
gold leaf in dull yellow, while an
other cross composed of pearls is
finished with a group of light colored
sapphires at each end of the cross.
The popularity of the old-fashioned
locket, which is suspended from
neck chain, is the occasion for the in
PRODUCTION of something new in this
line, which has been seen in the shape
of a golden ball locket worn as a
charm on jewel set bangle.
Dog collars are fashionable for even
ing wear in jet, pearls, precious or
semi-precious stones. Rose quartz.
pink jacinth, cut crystals and mother
of pearl are appropriate for young
girls in collars, necklaces or beads.
Also pale blue and pink bead crisis
cross collarettes.
Women who wear other than lace
cuffs, as a combination of linen and
lace, have an interest in the revival
of cuff links, which are of course of a
variety of styles of the plain or decora-
tive order, as conventional flowers
with pearl or diamond in the heart,
or fancy knots of dull gold.-Jewelers

lite elevator, too. Off came the hats.
One jabbed me in the eyebrow, an
other in the left cheek, another near

Tb,nderstorms and Sour Milk.

A subscriber wants to know, says
the Missouri Agricultural College
Farmer why milk often sours more
quickly just after thunderstorm than
during ordinary weather. The prima-
nv cause of sour milk is the growth
of certain bacteria that are always
very numerous in the air and cannot
be kept cut of the milk. These are
most abundant during damp, heavy
weather, which usually accompanies
thunderstorms, as such weather is
particularly favorable to their devel-
opment Hence the popular notion
that thunderstorms make milk sour.

varying between 1000 and 10000 shots
