CoNFEDERATE VETERANS.
Several Organizations Represented at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 1.-THE
annual reunion OF Confederate vet
erans opened here today. Several
thousand Confederate veterans from
all parts OF the south are i'm the city
and more are still arriving here with
every train. The local camps of the
Confederate veteran organizations
and affiliated organizations had made
extensive preparations for the recep-
ton and entertainment OF the visiting
veterans and they are meeting with n
most hospitable reception.
The opening session of the fifteenth
annual convention Of the Louisiana
division. United Confederate Veterans,
will be called to order in Memorial
hall this evening and 1t is expected
that the attendance will be larger than
for several years. The veterans will
be welcomed by the mayor OF the city
and the leading officers of the local
camps. number OF prominent
speakers are on the program for the
opening session.
The state convention of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans will
meet here at the same time and the
members OF the latter organization

RIVALS WOULD BUILD ROAD,
Two Companies Fight for Right OF
Way Around Buffalo.

Buffalo, n. Y. Jan. 1.-THE state
railroad commissioners will meet here
today to hear arguments in the mat
ter of the applications for a certin-
cate of necessity for a terminal by the
Buffalo, Lake Erie & Niagara Rail
road company. The company wants
to run belt line around Buffalo'
The line covers practically the same
territory as that traversed by the
Buffalo Terminal Railroad company
which has also applied for such cer-
tificate. The two companies are COM
posed of rival business men ana the
commissioners will have considerable
difficulty In solving the problem be-
fore them.
The frontier company was denied
a certificate last year and the present
application is practically n renewal Oh
the former application. The railroad
commissioners will have to decide OH
the strength of the testimony and ar
guments offered, which one or the
two rival companies, If any, Is emu
tied to certificate.
1t is safe to say that, no matter
what the decision of the railroad com
missioners may be, the company ruleu
out will appeal to the courts to nave
the decision of the commission SCI
aside. The result may be that tine
line will not be built for several years

Tearing Cards.

To tear pack of cards in two is re-
garded by some as n marvellous feat Of
strength, and yet the trick is possible
to any one with fairly strong fingers.
The secret of the trick lies in the fact
that the entire pack is not torn at once,
but in pretending to get grip on the
pack the strong man so manipulates
the cards that they overlap. In this
way but single card is torn at time,
and once the surface is torn the rest is
easy. To any one who can hold a pack
Of cards firmly the trick is fairly easy,
and while in olden times single pack
Of cards was considered to be the limit
of strength many Of our strong men
tear three and four packs at time.
The cards are restored to their origi-
nal form before being given out for
examination, and so the trick escapes
detection.

aShoddy."

1t is old wool redressed by scientific
and clean methods. 1t is a component
Of most of the woolen garments Of to-
day. The world does not grow enough
wool to enable us to have a constant
supply Of new woolen garments except
with the aid Of shoddy. 1t is shoddy
that has enabled the workingman to
buy a new suit Of clothes at the price
of a weeks wage In the olden days
an old all woolen garment was so ex'
pensive that 1t had to last It's owner
many years unless he were wealthy
man. 1t Is better hygiene for a man
to buy two new shoddy suits a yeal
than to buy an all wool garment which
must last him two years. Most Of the
clothes we wear, In fact, contain al
element Of shoddy and, so far from be
ing the worse for 1t, are the better

Tonic Eject of Laughter.

We are not disposed to say anything
about the physiology Of laughter, but
we are prepared to affirm that as a
tonic there is nothing within the pos
sibilities of human experience that can
match a good, hearty laugh. There is
something democratic about a laugh
that makes 1t impossible to distinguish
whether It is a prince or a plebelan
who is moved to merriment. Hardly
greater tragedy could be perpetrated
than to wrest the power Of song from
the birds, but that would be small
calamity compared with the filching OF
laughter from life, II the conditions OF
this world could be such as to afford tC
every human being the frequent en-
joyment Of pure, hearty peal o.
laughter, there would be no need tina
other favors be conferred. This alon'
would be ample testimony that happi
ness was paramount in the lives o.
men.-Baltimore Herald.

A Gamblers superstltlon

They were playing quiet rubber Of
whist and had called for a new deck Of
cards. One Of the players was an old
timer, card player Of years Of ex-
perience, and he took up the old worn
out cards and put them on the window
sill. Throw them in the fire." said
the young man who was his partner.
"What!" said the elder. "Throw pack
Of cards In the fire? Young man, you
don't know what you are talking about.
1 wouldn't do 1t for $1,000" "Why
mott" Superstition" was the answer.
Burn a pack of cards and they'll never
give you another hand and will mock
you to the last. They're bad enough
at best, but you never saw gambler
curse the cards or abuse them or burn
them or otherwise i'll treat them. He
doesn't dare to. l know 'successful'

Ing on velvet then. In a year he was
beggar, and he never won a game
worth mentioning forever after. It's q

The finest botanical gardens In the
world are justly claimed by Calcutta,
that city Of palaces and pigsties" and
statues. The stranger visiting the gar
dens for the first time will find his
wonder and admiration excited by the
appearance of an immense banyan
tree The branches of this tree droop
as in our weeping willow, and when a
branch is sufficiently long its extremi-
ty is imbedded in the earth, takes root
and In turn sends out more branches,
In this instance the operation has been
repeated until the tree now measures
$50 feet in circumference at its base
and has attained height of eighty-hve
feet. 1t forms veritable maze, mar
