His Check for $4,000.

The other morning, says London Tit
Bits, a man received a letter On open
ing it, out dropped a check for 1900,
and his heart stopped beating as he
read the letter and saw it was from Mel
bourne, signed Your unnatural but peni-
tent uncle"
He gave a wild shrek of exultation
and sank senseless TO the ground. When
he revived he couldn't wait until the
bank opened, but rushed to the nearest
shops and ran abcat buying new furni-
ture. new clothes. new carpets, glass
bonnets for his wife and dresses for his
girls, and half-crown drinks for him.
self.
When 10 o'clock came and he entered
the bank he found a man there at the
counter who was sufficiently composed to
read the draft through with a calm and
mind and who explained that he could
not pay $4,000 on it, because it was
merely an advertisement of Dilfendor.

1t took that man until 6 o'clock in
the evening to countermand the orders he
had given before 10 o'clock a. M. and
then he forgot half of them, and his
wife had to stand at the front gate all
the afternoon turning away delivery
carts that came backing up TO the pave
ment with new things.

King of Swan Island.

Among the saloon passengers arriving
in Boston recently on the steamer San
Jose, from Port Limon, Costa Rica, was
Alonzo Adams, owner of Swan island,
and who is known throughout Central
America as the King of Swan island.
His domain is a fertile island situated
in the Caribbean sea, upon which he has
a beautiful residence and numerous
houses for his laborers. He raises fruit
and cocoanuts and employs several hun
dred men. Mr.. Adams is a philanthro-
pist, and has assisted not only the in
habitants of several of the islands in the
Caribbean, but is of especial help to
mariners. Knowing the value of light
to guide the vessels running through the
Caribbean on their way from New York
and Boston to Port Limon and other
points, he built and maintains light on
the island, which can be seen for manS
miles, and rays of which warn the cap
tains of steamers not to approach too
close to the shallow waters in the vi
cinity. Mr.. Adams is IS years old, and
is native of Eastport. He keeps in
formed of what is transpiring in the
world by the papers brought to him by
passing steamers.-Kennebec Journal.

Oyster Shortcake.

There is no more unique and delicious
way of preparing oysters than the fol-
lowing, says the Delineator for Septenl-
Der.
Make a soft, smooth shortcake dough
with baking powder. using milk instead
of water. Bake in thinner layers than
you would for the regular fruit short
cake and split and butter generously as
soon as baked. While the cake is bak
ing scald the liquor that you have
drained from a quart of oysters, and in
another saucepan heat a cupful of milk
and half cupful of cream. Just as
this mixture begins to boil, add a table
spoonful of butter and tablespoonful Of
flour that have previously been rubbed
together, and stir until il becomes smooth
and thick. Now, turn to the scalding
oyster liquor, and. having skinned it
carefully, add tablespoonful of butter,
some salt and pepper. and. finally, the
oysters. Let them stay but a few euIiu-
utes only; then remove them: cover the
layers of short cake with them; place the
two layers together, one on top of the
other, and pour the hot sauce over all.
Serve Immediately, that it may have no
time in which to cool.

GOOD GASOLINE apoNTs.n
Ohio State Fire Marshal Prepares eau
ton Rules in Using Vapor.

The state fire marshal of Ohio has
prepared the following ''don'ts' for gaso-
line consumers:
Don't fill the stoves reservoir while
the burner is alight. Napor of gasoline
being heavier than air will reach the
flame and the flash will so brighten the
filler that more gasoline will be spilled
and the room instantly filled with flame.
Don't I'LL the can quite full, for guso-
line expands much more than water
when it becomes warm and is likely to
force open a seam in the reservoir.
Don't fail to turner She burner shut be-
fore filling the reser yoir, for the fluid
leaking through it will make vapor
which will set on fire one who strikes a
match to light the stove.
Don't allow too much fluid to flow into
the burner or fail to close it tight when
putting the fire out.
Don't pour gasoline from one vessel to
another in a room III which there is fire
or light, because the invisible vapor of
gasoline will be drawn to any nearby fire,
lamp, candle or gas jet.
Don't fail to watch closely for leaks in
reservoir or burner, because gasoline, be
ing but two-thirds as dense as water,
will exude through a smaller hole. Re-
member, too, that when the leak is small
there is no drop or damp spot anywhere
to show its existence, because the gaso-
line Saporizes as fast as it exudes.
Don't slop the stuff, for it is more dan
gerous than powder. Three fourths Of
the stove accidents occur while filling the
reservoir.
Don't keep gasoline in any jug or in a
can larger than two gallons, because il
is difficult to pour the thin stuff from
either without spilling it.
Don't get your gasoline and kerosene
cans mixed. That error cost two lives in
Ohio last year.
Don't leave any gasoline can open, be-
cause currents of air draw out the vapor.
The reservoir of every gasoline stove
should be outside the building. the feed
pipe passing through the wall. If SO
placed, heat from the stove cannot burst
it. a leak is harmless and vapor cannot
ignite while it is benz filed. The stove
should be fixed to a permanent founda-
ton so that it cannot be set against any
infammable material.
All gasoline stoves should have bottom
and three sides closed to prevent com
bustible material from reaching the
flame and the main burner CRATES should
be two feet from the floor. Finally, don't
hunt the source of an odor of gasoline
with light. The result of finding it is
always instantaneous and disastrous.

HARAKIRI.
Said to Be Practiced Only by Descend
ants of the Old Mobiles of Japan.

The custom of harakiri is a thing rath
er confined to the samurai class. and the
heimin. the commoners, are quite stran-
gers to it, writes Mr.. Hashiguchi in the
Atlantic, a japanese magazine published
in this city. 1t thrived ia the DAYS Of
feudalism, when the lives of the samurai
were at the disposal of their masters
lards and rulers.
The samurai youths were taught to
commit harakiri rather than submit to
the disgrace Of decapitation.
Thus harakiri became an inveterate
hereditary propensity of the samurai
class, from which it was not an easy
affair to free them after the advent Of
the western civilization awakened the
benighted land of the Rising Sun.
In this enlightened age of Meiii how
ever, this practice has been going out of
fashion. Yet it is amazing to learn that
it has again come into use in the war
with Russia.
Last year Prof Ukida Of Waseda uni
versity of Toxic, who is a graduate of
Yale, delivered an address in an edu-
cational gathering held in Toxic. in which
he referred TO the practice of harakiri.
He said in part:
"A soldier may die in the battlefield
for the sake of duty, not for the sake of
personal honor. He shall not commit ha-
rakiri just because he has no means of
defense against his enemy. Should lie
be taken prisoner by the enemy, he will
do well to console himself with the idea
that he is sent to the enemy's country
as a student, to be of further service in
future to his country
His reasons were right, if his utter
| ances were not judiciously made Yet
he has been denounced as a traitor by
Maj.-Gen. Sato, who based his argu-
ments upon the sentiment that the Jap
| anese soldiers die in the battlefield not
for the sake of duty but for the sake of
honor; that it is for the Russians not
for the Japanese, to die for duty; that
by committing harakiri rather than sur
rendering to the Russians have the Jap
anese been enabled to win the victory;
and that Prof. Ukida's address would
have a tendency to detract from the
patriotic fervor Of the Japanese soldiers
All the press of Japan made com
ments upon the controversy, saying that
what Prof Ukida termed duty was ex-
actly the same as what Maj.-Gen. Sato
| termed honor in the essential points.

THE NEW SPRING.

The long grief left her old, and then
Came Love and made her young again,
As though some newer, gentler Spring
Should start dead roses blossoming;
Old roses that have lain full long
In some forgotten book of song,
Brought from their darkness to be one
With lifting winds and rain and sun.
And as they to might bring away
From that dim volume where they lay
Some lyric hint, some song perfume
TO add its beauty to their bloom.
SO Love awakes her heart that Hes
Shrouded in fragrant memories,
And bids 1t bloom again and wake
Sweeter for that old sorrows sake.
