THE HOTEL CLERK.
According to This View His Lot Is Not
a Happy One.

According to This View His Lot Is Not
Happy One.
Who is the most envied and hedia-
monded among men? The hotel clerk.
Who runs away with our h%eiresses?
The hotel clerk. Who gets the straight
est tips on the stock market? The ho-
tel clerk. Whose pride goeth not be-
fore destruction and whose glory is
never dimmed? The hotel clerks. So
runs the accepted catechism.
Now a truth seeker In Chicago rises
to say that the average hotel clerks
chance in life is a trile less than moth
ing. He can't marry. for he is COM
PEELED to live in the hotel, and his
wages won't pay his wife's board.
Even as a bachelor he finds it hard to
save money. When he reaches the
age limit-not a high one-he is dis
placed by a young man.
There are then three things for him.
He may become night clerk in a coun.
try hotel. a job that he rose from years
before; he may be put in charge Of q
cloakroom and look to tips for most OF
his pay or he may try to get other
work. using up his savings meanwhile,
and end his life in the almshouse. Not
a cheering conception and practically
useless to the humorist.-Collier's

THE ARCTIC OUTLETS.
What Would Happen IL These Ice
Channels Were Closed,


It is we'll that there are the water
gaps between the continents whose
headlands form the boundaries OF the
Arctic ocean. Through Rering strait,
Baffin's bay and the huge opening be-
tween Greenland and western Europe
thousands of cubic miles of ice are an
nually discharged which if landlocked
would long ago have SO accumulated
as to have impelled cataclysms that
would probably have SO swept life
from the earth that the evolution Of
man would have been deferred indef-
nitely into the far future centuries.
Both poles are located with singular
adaptation to ease off the otherwise in
evitably too great accumulation of To-
cal avoirdupois. which would as surely
change the earth's center of gravity as
would the hanging of an immense
weight at some local point or the pc
riphery Of a balance wheel.
It is to this good fortune in present
polar locations that the world owes its
immunity OF cataclysmal foundations
and congratulations which otherwise
must have laid down other strata to
the mausOleums that mark the resting
places of the forms that once sported
beneath us.

Fortunes In Onions.

LAREDO, Texas, May 2e.-The har-
vesting of this seasons Bermuda on
ion crop in Texas will be pretty we'll
finished by June l. The shipments
from this region are now practically
over, but a number of cars are yet to
be shipped from more northern points.
Laredo is the center of the Bermuda
onion industry in this state. The crop
this year was about 1850 cars of
abou, %. 900 pounds TO the car, or Il
total of 1000, 600 pounds Of onions.
The shipments Of onions from Laredo
were more than 800 cars. The total
profits to the growers exceed 1000
600.
Bermuda onion farming has brought
more wealth to the people of this bor-
der town during the last five years
than wa, derived from all other crops
com oined during the preceding 100
years. As a matter of fact, there was
very little farming or truck growing
of any kind done around Laredo un-
til the discovery was made a few years
ago tina, it was an ideal place for
raising Bermuda onions.
The larges. onion farm in the world
is near San Marcos, Texas, it EN-
braces 200 acres and is owned by Col.
Ed. Green. a banker Of that place.
The soil is we'll suited to onion grow
ing. The harvesting of the crop is
just about to begin and it is estim ated
that the average yield will be 30, 900
pounds 70 acre, or a total of 5000.
900 pounds of onions from this one
farm The crop is said to have al.
ready been sold for upward of two
cents a pound. This means a revenue
OF more than $4,000 from this sea-
sons crop on the POO acres.
1t is declared that there is nothing
10 this country that can beat these
figures when it comes to the profits of
farming. The expense of raising the
crop will average about 800 an acre.

KEEP YOURSELF YOUNG
Exercise Every Day Even Though You
Steal the Time to Do Il.

1t is futile to try to lay down gen
eral & limits for the different kinds
OF athletic sports.
The limits vary individually within
very wide marks, and if observations
made on Il number Of individuals of
the present generation put them very
low this does not mean that they would
be the r and desirable limits if we
had a generation whose physical edu-
cation from the beginning had been
undertaken and carried out upon a plan
only one-fourth or ever one-tenth as
elaborate as the plan for it's mental
education, not only as far as exercise
and sport are concerned. but also in
regard to eating. drinking, clothing,
sleeping, pleasures, stimulants, etc,
and whose individuals were willing to
continue to live upon a similar plan
after growing out of the hands of their
educators.
Live a simple, natural life, take
strenuous exercise every day of your
life. ven should you steal the time to
do so, and see what will become of
your personal limit for the various
kinds Of sports.-New York Medical
Journal.

Indian Punishment.

Some idea of what Raroda, India,
was In times comparatively recent
may be gathered from the following;
A hundred elephants were kept at the
expense Of the state. and criminals
were executed in n most horrible man
ner. The poor wretch, tied hand and
foot, was fastened by a long rope round
the waist to the elephants hind leg.
Then the animal was made to trot
through the city. and the man, at al,
most every step rebounding against
stones and obstacles, soon became q
n of bruises and wounds and a
CHASTITY spectacle. If he survived this
his head was placed on a block. and
the elephant crushed it with his foot

 ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 23.-The re. cent report to the naval authorities by the Wainwright board on conditions surrounding candidates for the Naval academy and midshipmen while in An. napolis was the subject of confer ence between Mayor Gordon H. Claude of Annapolis and Superintendent c. J. Badger of the academy. Plans were then made for closer cooperation be, tween the naval and city authorities in an effort to break up certain practices which were referred to. Captain Badg. CT deprecated the idea that the Vain wright report had intended any direct reflection on the morals of Annapolis or Annapolitans and expressed the view that conditions here were as good if not better than in most of the col, lege and university towns of the coun. try. He said, however, that certain places in Annapolis were understood to permit the sale of liquor to midship. men as we'll as candidates or to allow these youths to rent rooms and send out for such liquid refreshments as they desired. The authorities will work together in an effort to break up this'habit. 0l5 .sSis
 Another topic of the conference was the after theater" parties given by midshipmen and candidates which were attended by female members of the chorus of certain theatrical compa, nies. The academy and municipal ofa. cials will unite in efforts to break up this practice.
