. Got the Mitten, Built a Mill.

"The finest mill in the wtyld is the
one in Guadalupe Creek, in San Jose,
Cal.," said D. M. Hendricks, a Mime
apolis miller. 1T was built by James
Lick as a result of his having got the
mitten from a young girl when he was
q young man.
Lick came from Pennsylvania,
where he loved the daughter of a mill
er. He sought the hand of the young
woman, but the miller gruffly turned
him down with the statement that it
was not the girl he sought SO much as
the grist mill. Lick angrily replied
that the old mill was no good, that he
didn't want it, and that some day he
would build good grist mill, and
make it out of mahogany. He went to
South America drifted into California
and made fortune. He made good
his threat by building mill entirely
out of hard wood. It has been a
profitable mill, also.t Lick never mar
ried.''

Whv the Women Ride.

I'VE carry lots of women clear to
the top floor, or at least several floors
up. and then they take the next ele-
yator down without going three steps
away from the elevator" declared the
operator OF one of the lifts" in big
office building yesterday.
mo, it isn't because they like to
ride in the elevators particularly. Why
do they do it? To get the use OF the
mirrors. of course. See those mirrors
on either side of the elevator? That's
what attracts them. A bit of wind
will strike them as they turn the cor
ner by big building, and then they
imagine that their hair is badly disar-
ranged and make for the nearest mir
ror, which is in the elevator"

The Poor English Language.

The poverty of the English language
is exemplifed by circular which is
making the round of suburb and in
viting subscriptions to testimonial
to the station master 1t comes from
one who styles himself "the longest
resident the sad physical fact being
that he is probably the shortest, al
though in bulk and rotundity he makes
up for the inches he lacks in height,
Here is case in which the very clum-
siness Of the Gel>>an language would
be an inestimable help, for then this
gentleman could quite correctly de-
scribe himself 'the for-the-longest-
time herein residing" or even perhaps
"the or-the-longest-time- herein-resid-
INCEST" individual. Those compound
adjectives of the Teutons may be awk-
ward, but the express what the user
means, and insure accuracy.

Intended to DO.
Getting Jared is, in plain language,
the latest cure for seasickness. The
method is described in the Technical
World, which asserts that success has
attended the trials of the new device.
The apparatus, which is of German
invention, is very simple. 1t is mere
ly comfortable chair, the seat of
which is set rapidly vibrating up and
down by the force Of an electrometer
connected to the electric lighting
wires OF the steamer,
Those wishing to prevent an attack
of seasickness sit down on the vi
brating chair. They have about the
same sensation as in riding in an au.
tomobile. The vibratory motion makes
the rolling and pitching of the ship
less felt, the slow downward motion
OF the vessel being counteracted by
the numerous short vibratory shocks
occurring in an upward direction.

Makes Friends on Broadway With a
Polieeman's Handsome Horse. !. !
Broadway was very interesting to
tA4Stenderfoot from the west; but she
Andn't expected to find such a. demon
| strative new friend there as she ran
across recently. On one of the busiest
corners, where the crossing is as dan
gerOus and as difficult as any noun
tain pass was in the old days, she was
walking into the jaws Of death with
the fearlessness and confidence of ig:
norance She was snatched almost
fmpatiently from the passing danger
by mounted policeman, who, by the
way. wasn't mounted at the time.
His> horse, fine, spirited specimen
of the equine race, was patiently
standing at the corner by the curb,
Watching the passing throng and his
master. Said master hurriedly thrust
the dazed tenderfoot to, the sidewalk
out Of harms way. She bumped into
the horse. Both were surprised, and
both begged pardon in their own
gays. The girl said rapturously:
i"Oh, you beauty
The horse whinnied softly, as il she
were an old and beloved friend, rub.
bling his nose against her sleeve.
Then the girl started across the street
once more. When she was half way
over she felt Alright touch ON her
shoulder and at the same time heard
several men laughing. In surprise she
looked to see what could be happen
Ing: There stood the policeman's
beautiful steed, looking pleadingly at
her.
The next instant she had the horses
head in her arms and her face again st
his glossy head, tears of pleasure In
her eyes. Around this odd pair flowed
the stream Of traffic, for this was a
busy center, but many people stopped
to see the strange sight. The next in.
slant the gruff officer had brusquely
called to the horse, and when the
horse failed to come to his call he
quite rudely grasped the rein and
took the horse away from the tableau
which Immediately dissolved as the
girl went her way with moist eyes
happy smile and longing in her
heart for her beloved home in the
far west and the horse she loved 50
well. That a strange horse in this
great city should SO kindly greet her
was balm to the homesick girl.

1t is Suggested by some of his Duluth
friends that A. G. Weiss, of the Herald,
he given the Democratic nomination for
United States senator as deserved
compliment. Well, as the Tribunal
says, she might as we'll have it as any
one else." But this practice OF reward
Ing faithful service with empty compll-
,nents is cheap--too cheap. We have
learned to look upon party compliments
AS being as insincere and meaningless as
tIattery of any other kind. If we were a
politician, though, we might look at
things differently.

Presently. the policeman fell asleep
and when the train reached Pla1stoW
the prisoner, failing to arouse his

The councillor resisted, and the train
went on to Bromley-by-Bow.

japanese LACQUER Tree.

Japanese lacquer is very curious
substance. A simple tree sap, like
maple sap, it is, yet when applied to
wood or metal quite indestructible. A
coat Of lacquer is proof against alco-
hof, against boiling water, against al.
most all known agents.
The lacquer tree of Japan is very
large. Tt is always cut down at the
age OF forty years, as thereafter it b.
gins to dry UP. Each tree yields on
Its demolition about six barrels of
lacquer sap.
The japanese are very careful not
to let foreigners into the secrets OF
lacQuering.
