TT WAS ALL RIGHT,

They had evidently been quarrel -lng before entering the Sutter street car at the ferry.

 Gradually the harsh tones melted 10 soft, endearing phrases. The car had become very crowded. It stopped at Van Ness.
 The conductor, wcdging among passengers midway of the aislcs gould not see the rear steps. With his hand on the bell cord he sud- denly yelled
 'How is it back there now ?"

NORTH DAKOTA'S WEALTH,

North Dakota is piling up wealth in remarkable degree. It is no longer the land of mortgages. The mortgages have been paid, and now the older farmers have money in the bank.
 In 1900 the state had only 2 na- tional banks with deposits of over $5. 100000. It now has over 100 national banks, with deposits of over 1S,000.000. There are over 300 banks, whose deposits far ex- ceed those of the national banks.
 As an index of it's agricultural and industrial shipments, the fact is cited that while North Dakota does not have a city exceeding in popula- ton 1S,000, vet it has fully 10 ship ping points on one railway line whose freight receipts each exceed S100,000 a year. This indicates how wealth is being accumulated.-Na- tional Magazine.

CAMERA WORKS IN MID AIR.

Cameras on the wing are flying through Germany A projectile to take photographs and claimed to have been successful at heights of half a mile is the idea of Herr Marie, a German photographer. A camera having the form of the usual kind of conical shell is thrown into the air by means of kind of trap. At a predetermined angle as the camera turns to make its descent and is pointed slightly downwards, the sh.ltter is automatically re- leased, and a picture is taken of broad expansc of country. In still air the flight and spot at which the aerial camera will fall can be cal- culated with much precision. Pre- cautions are taken to avoid damage by concussion and the results are expected to be of great possible value in military operations.

A WOMANS PERFECT FOOT
Is Rarely Developed to It's Full Per
 lection of Beauty.

A woman's foot, when perfect, is hollowed out well, both inside and out, with a high instep, short heel, and long, straight toes, slightly spa tulate at the ends. This is the type of the most beautiful foot. It is, on the whole, a foot not frequently seen in it's perfection, for often one or the other element of beauty is wanting. The rarest point of beau- ty is the following of the outside of the foot If anyone would convince that the hollow on the out side of the foot is rare let him watch the prints that seaside bathers leave when they step on dry plank walk. Most of such footprints show a greater or smaller hollow on the in- side of the foot, but nearly every one shows strai ght wet mark on the outside, says Woman's Life. That water could flow under the arch of the foot without wetting it is an old and good rule where feet are concerned.

SAD MISTAKE OF AN ACTOR
Didn't Know His Ticket Called for
 Meals During Trip.

An actor without funds managed ln some way to get a second-class ticket on line of steamers running between Seattle and San Francisco. The voyage between these two points consumed the better part of three days and in view of the fact that his finances were at low ebb he solved the question in this way:
 The first dayaout he slept all day to keep from eating, and remained up all night to keep from sleeping. The second day he took physical culture exercises. On the third day he could not stand the strain any longer and went down in the din- ing-room and ordered the best meal on board the boat.
 While eating this meal he could see in his minds eye picture of d cell in the bastiie in San Francisco. After finishing his meal he said to ahe waiter: How much do I owe you?' Nothing replied the waiter, '.your meals were included ln your ticket.'

HABITS OF SPIDERS.

The question, DO spiders sleep at

by watching colonies in their artificial
formicaries. 1t is almost impossible
TO deal with spiders in the same way.
| would answer, however, in general
terms that spiders sleep. as all animals
DO. and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species,
however, prey on the night flying in
sectS, and SO must be awake in order
to catch their prey. If y0l will watch
the porch or outbuildingS Of your home
on summer evening You will be likely
to see. an orb weaving spider drop
slowly down on a single thread in the
gathering dusk Of the evening. From
this beginning n round web will soon
be spun, and either hanging at the
center thereof or in 4 little nest above
and at one side is the architect, with
forefeet clasping what we call the
trap line" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare In
this position spiders will som etimes
wait for hours, and it is just possible
that they may then take n little nap.
They might easily do that and yet not
lose their game, for the agitation Of the
web would rouse the sleeper. and then
vt would run down the trap line and Sc
cure its prey. Some species of spiders
do the chief part Of their hunting at
night, and there are some who chiefly
hunt during the day; but, as q rule,
these industrious animals work both
day and nght.-St NichOlaS

In London as far back as 1901 a city
ordinance was passed to suppress the

lingering in prison for ten years.
