SHE HAD A REPUTATION.
But the Customer Was Not Going to
Eat the Lady.

A lady who intended to give a dinner
to some friends at which the piece de
resistance was to be duck shot by her
husband on the shores of eastern Mary
land, decided that none but the very
best jelly should be served as an ac-
compartment to the dainty fare.
So she proceeded to a gorgeous
Broadway establishment, place
where one pays a quarter apiece for
tomatoes and a dollar a stalk for as
paragus at certain seasons of the year
The jelly the clerk offered her did not
appear to be just what she wanted, so
she suggested another variety.
"But, madam" said the clerk
haughtily, this is the very best jelly
you can buy. 1t is made by Mrs Nc
Guggin of Brooklyn" And he pointed
to the label on the jar
''I've never heard of it," meekly sug-
gested the lady. Are you sure it's all
right? Do you guarantee itT'
Seeing that his customer was ex-
tremely mild of character and perhaps
to be easily ratified, the clerk smiled in
a patronizing way. "Guarantee! re-
peated he more haughtily than ever.
MADAM, we don't have to guarantee
Mrs. McGuggin's jelly. Her name is
enough. This lady, madam, has repu-
tationr
ooh, ! have do doubt of that, I'm
sure broke in the mild hammered
lady, with Il heightened color. I'm
not questioning the lady's reputation.
1t was the jelly. | assure your'-New

The Horses Ancestors.

Lovers Of horses may be delighted
with the distinguished genealogy which
geologlsts have completed for that fa-
vored animal. At least the names of
the horses ancestors look very distin-
guished Here is the list, with the geo
logical eras in which each lived, as ar
ranged by Professor w. N. Rice: The
line of descent begins with Hyracothe-
rum and Eohippus of the lower eocene
age. Then follow Protorohippus and
Orohippus of the middle eocene; Epi-
hippus of the upper eocene; Mesohip-
pus of the oligocene; Anchitherium of
the lower miocene; Parahippus, Proto-
hippus and Pliohippus of the middle
and upper miocene, and finally Equus
of the pliocene and the quaternary,
from which the modern horse directly
descends. Hipparion and Hippidium
represented ancient side branches that
died without descendants.

A CORDIAL NATURE.
If Il Is Not Yours, Do Your Best to
Acquire Il.

If II Is Not Yours, Do Your Best to
Acquire It.
The cultivation of cordiality and pop
ularity early in life will have a great
deal to do with ones advancement,
comfort and happiness.
It is a mortifying thing to have a
kindly feeling in the depths of ones
heart and yet not be able to express it,
to repel people when one has just the
opposite feeling toward them. To be
incased in an icy exterior with really
warm heart is a most unfortunate
thing.
Some people have repelling express
sion in their faces and manner which
is a constant embarrassment to them,
but they do not seem able to overcome
it. This is largely due to lack of
early training or 10 the fact that some
times these people have been reared
in the country, away from the great
centers of civilization, where they do
not have the advantages of social in
tercourse, and in consequence become
cold and appear unsympathetic when
they are really the opposite.
1t is very difficult thing to over
come these handicHps, but the cultiva-
ton of good will. of helpful spirit and
kindly feeling toward everybody will
go far to open up the hard exterior so
that the soul can express itself.-Suc-
cess MAGAZINE.

More LAUGHTER, Less Suicides.

The physiological benefits of laughter
cannot be overestmated. It shakes up
the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating
to a lively measure. stimulates the
blood corpuscles, enliyens the brain
and sometimes produces dislocation of
the jaw when INDUCED in too heartily
by man with large mouth. Used
with discretion, laughter is as inspir-
ing as sea breeze, as refreshing as
an August shower. Its moral effect is
beyond computation. 1t has killed
more ridiculous supersttions by its
rollicking roars of unbelief than any
other agency. What can be more de-
risive than a laugh? The man who
laughs never kills Exchange.

INK THAT NEVER DRIES.
Care Used In Handling Fine Etchnss
and Enqravinqs,

lone of the first things we have to
impress upon newcomers in this bust
ness" remarked dealer in fine prints,
lis To take the utmost care in handling
prints for the simple reason that the
ink used in printing engravings and
etchings practically never dries. OF
all the men whose works in this line
we handle Il can be safely said that
on the prints of only two of them-
Rembrandt ana Durer-has the ink
reRlly dried And you know it is u
long time since they we're alive. 1t
has been our frequent eNaelience TO
have prints fully 200 yca"s cli s'iow

iurn >
an II, as we have learned to our
cost in seeing them rubbed,
= eAn expert, whether he be profes-
sIonal OF amateur collector, can tell at
a glance that a print has had another
one pulled across it, for TO his accus-
toned eyes the telltale marks of the
ink having been drawn across a blank
place on the paper are as clear as day
light That is why we keep all of our
prints in boxes that just fit them so
that they must be lifted out sQuarely
with no chance of their being dragged
across the one below. 1t seems like a
trifle. But it is just such triaes that
make or mar the sale of really fine
print worth thousands of dollars."-

Alcohol As Fuel

If some of the prophets can be trust ed, we are on the eve of an alcohol age, and are likely to find it before long generally substituted for all other sources of light, heat and power. This estimate is based on the remarkable adaptability which alcohol has been shown to have for all purposes, and on the fact that it can so be cheaply pro- duced without taxation, when once the country gets the hang of it, that its low cost will cause it to supersede everything else. It can be made from any sort of vegetable growth, fruit or grain, and large amounts of material generally wasted can be utilized in its manufacture. In Germany every farmer has his own still, and the pre- vention of illicit use seems to have been compassed without difficulty. Potatoes-.which in that country, ow- ing to the use of potash, which abounds, as a fertilizer, yield enormously-are the principal source of alcoholic sup ply, which also is so cheap that it has come into very wide use. It furn- ishes most of the light and runs all the motors. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Inventor Hopes to Change Railway


 The working model of new style railway car and motor created by Louis Brennan. inventor of the Bren- nan torpedo,running on single rail, was exhibited to the leaders of the scientific world at the Royal Society.
 A miniature railway car or locomo- tive standing entirely above a single rail, with apparently nothing to bal ance it, ran about the hall, turned sharp corners at high speed, crossed a single strand of wire cable in lieu of a bridge, climbed heavy inclines-all with perfect stability.
 Sometimes the ear was loaded, some times empty. No attempt was made to balance the load. The vehicle itself did that instantly and automatically.
 The mechanism consists essentially of two aywheels rotated directly by electric motors in opposite directions at high velocity, mounted so that by their gyrostatic action their stored-up energy can be utilized. These fly wheels, mounted on high-class bear ings, are placed in air-exhausted cases, so both air and journal friction is re- duced to a minimum.
 The motive power may be either steam, oil, gas or electricity. The speed can be from twice to thrice that of ordinary railways, owing to the smoothness in running and the total ab- sence of lateral oscillation.
