Between Trains
Clever American.

A Frenchman a German. an English
man and an American were sitting be-
fore an open fire. each one telling of
the greatness of his native country.
While speaking. the Frenchman took
from his wallet dollar bill, rolled 1t
up. touched it TO the Goals and lighted
a cigar with it.
The others were impressed, and soon
the German opened his wallet, brought
forth ten dollar bill. rolled it up,
touched it to the Goals and lighted his
cigar with it.
The Englishman thought it very
foolish. but he could not be outdone
nor have it appear that England was
not, as ever, the richest of all, so he
calmly took one hundred dollar bill
and sacrificed it to light his cigar.
The American looked on in wonder.
He hadn't even a dollar bill with him
and yet he knew he represented the
leading race of all--which was never
outwitted nor outdone by any one or
any country; so he quietly drew forth a
oheckbook. wrote check for ten
thousand dollars on a prominent New
York bank, duly signed it, rolled IT
up, touched 1t to the Goals and lighted

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-WHEAT-A strong
sensational market for this cereal
caused principally by anxious shorts
covering contracts which they made
yesterday on the decline TO IS cents.
Houses with foreign connections were
liberal buyers of wheat in this mar
ket based on the bad crop from Rus
STA. It was also reported that Russia
was a liberal buyer here as their stocks
are almost depleted. Liverpool cables
were strong this morning. being quoted
three quarters OF penny higher.
Northwestern traders were fighting the
advance. claiming the milling demand
for wheat did not warrant the extrava-
CANT advance. The market closed

Out Of every five animals in the ami
nal kingdom four are insects. of which
there are 100000 species. In a human
world Of that sort for every gigantic
man there would be four pygmies and
OF the pygmies 100000 distinct races.
These pygrnieS would be made up of
head, middle body and hind body.
each OF which would be composed Of
hard, shell-like rings, and because their
bodies were thus divided or insected
they might be called insects. Their
legs would grow out of either the mid
die body or the hind body They would
breathe through holes in the middle
body and eat, drink, see, smell, with
all kinds Of appsfatus made for the
purpose in various and often widely
separated parts Of the body. If some
OF these pygmies were young, weighed
a pound and ate like a silkworm. they
would in two months devour forty-five
tons of food. 1t is scarcely remarkable,
therefore, what millions Of grasshop-

The Deep Waterway.

The fight for the deep waterway
from Chicago to the south by way of
the drainage canal and the Joliet dis
trict Is on in congress. The Illinois
delegation is uniting in its efforts to
pass this measure which means so
much to the manufacturers of this sec
ton. The attitude of Chairman Bur
ton of Ohio at the head of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors of the
house amounts almost to insolenee He
denies the right of this project to any
participation in the appropriation at
all and declares that congress is not
justified in giving money for the i'm
provement of Greeks" He wants all
the money to go to Cleveland and Pitts
burg, to the great lakes and the lower
Mississippi.
The people Of Illinois are stirred up
over this matter and they want the
subject thoroughly considered before
congress votes to keep back this great
Improvement. Mr. Burton may have an
idea that this great section Of creek
country doesn't count for much, but he
will find out the truth if he keeps up
in his hlibustering maneuvres.-Aurora

Lessons to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet
ter than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business-a very important point.
Learn to tell a story A well told
story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sickroom.
Learn the art OF saying kind and en-
couraging things, especially to the
young.
Learn to avoid all Ill natured re-
marks and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care for
your Ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop grumbling. If you can
not see any good in the world, keep the
bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with q
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
anK Of yours.

The Newborn and the Dead.

Lavater in his ''Physiognomy' makes
the following curious remarks: Il have
had occasion to observe some infants
Immediately on their births and have
found an astonishing resemblance be-
tween their profile and those OF their
father. A few days after this resem-
blance almost entirely disappeared.
The influence of the air and food and
probably the change Of posture had SO
altered the design Of the face that you
could have believed 1t different indi-
vidual. ] afterward saw two OF these
children die, one at six weeks and the
other at four years Of age. and about
twelve hours after their death they I'm
mediately recovered the profile which
had struck me so much at their birth,
only the profile of the dead child was,
as might be expected, more strongly
marked and more terse than that Of
the living"

COMFORTING NEWS.
How Some Women Have Solved the
Servant Question.

How Some Women Have SoANeu NAo
Servant Question.
There is one bright spot in the ever
darkening outlook of the omnipresent
servant question.
Chronic croakers and hapless house
wives whose time is spent between
their kitchens and the various employ
ment bureaus will do well to sit up
and take notice that in spite OF the
fitting tendencies of the present day
servant there are mistTesses who keep
their servants year in and year out.
At the annual meeting OF the Ger
man Housewives society premiums
were given to no less than thirty weight
servants who have held the same posi-
ton for two years. Some or them
have been with one mistress for four,
six, eight, and one has been In the
same place for ten years.
The custom Of the society is to give
premiums each year to those who have
served for at least two years. Some
times the premiums consist of gold
pieces. but this year they are in the
form of pins-pretty golden bees, with
the recipients name and the date en-
graved on one Of the wings.
Following out the idea Of a similar
/ society in Berlin a number of promi-
nent German women founded this so
/ ciety some years ago so that they
might meet the ever increasing diff
/ Guilty of the servant problem.
The membership, which has steadily
| increased, is no longer restricted tc
/ German housekeepers, nor are woman
/ the only members. To be a household
er is the only qualification necessary.
Bv payment of the annual dues, Sc {
wear. members are furnished with ca
pabIe servants Of good character, who
are encouraged by the prospect of pre-
miums as we'll as by considerable treat
ment to remain for a considerable
length of time.
The greatest care is taken to have
on the list only the names of servants
who are thoroughly desirable. Coco
references are not only required, bu
they are followed up, and in the cas-,
of girls who have just landed from
steamers the police stamp, which il
the European cities Is reference o
good character, must be shown.
On the records of the society Their
are numberless instances Of the mos
faithful service = cases in which tn
entire responsibility Of household mar
agement has fallen on the maid an
has been attended to in the most salts
factory way.
In one instance the mistress died an
the maid had for months the charge c
a household of no small proportions
and there are others showing an equl
amount of faithfulness and capability
All Of which goes to prove to hous'
keepers who are certain that the situi
ton is hopeless that there are sti
treasures to be had in the realm {
the kitchen-if one only has the goo
luck to find them and the good sense I
treat them with some consideration.
