Rheumatism Does It.

Captain Chandler, the army's chief aeronaut, said at a dinner in Wash. ington the other day:
 'The aeronaut, to get along must keep his wits about him. Under the most adverse circumstances he must not lose his head. Always he must be alert and ready, like, like-well, like a scientist I used to know. This scien- list gave scientific lecture in church one night, and at the lectures end he said, beaming down on his audience condescendlngly:
 Now, if there is any scientific question that any of my friends would like to ask, beg them not to hesitate. I shall be only too happy to answer any inquiry in my power.
 An old lady in spectacles that gave her a severe, stern look, rose and said:
 "'why do wet tea leaves kill roachesP
 "The scientist didn't know they did, let alone the cause of the phenomenon i; but, never at a loss, be replied:
 Because, madam, when a roach comes across a wet tea leaf, he says, Hello, here's blanket and wraps himself up in 1t, catches cold, and dies"

FUR TRADE OF THE WORLD.
London, Leipsic and Nizhnf Nov-
 Eorod the Great Markets

Eorod the Great Markets.
 Some interesting facts regarding the worlds fur trade, be given by Vice Consul Burrell, of Magdeburg, Ger man, says the New York Tribune. 'Oc- casionally one hears the fear expressed that the fur-bearing animals are be- coming extinct. The fur trade of Amer lea is larger to-day than ever before. It Is true that the buffalo no longer comes into consideration as a fur-bear- ing animal and the beaver Is also nearly extinct In most countries. The sea otter, which formerly furnished 100000 furs annually, yields not 400 at the highest, and the seal also seems to be rarer, as the number of seal skins has decreased from 100000 to 10000 yearly, but other fur-bearing anil mals have taken the place of these, and the dimensions of the American fur trade are at present greater than they ever have been. More money is now earned on skunk muskrat and fox furs than ever before on beavers, sea otters, seals and other rare furs. The depots in the United States and Canada send the largest part of the furs they re ceiye to the three famous fur markets of the world-London, Leipsic and Nlzhni Novgorod. The buying itself is done by expert fur brokers.
 Tn London the furs are sold by que ton and an average of s5,000,000 worth of raw furs is disposed of there an- nually. The principal sale In Nizhni Noygorod, Russia, takes place In Au- gust. There all the Asiatic furs, such as Persian lambs and astrakhans, Mon- golian goatskins and Siberian sables, ermineS rare equirrel furs and, al- though in very small quantities, otters and seaus are sold. The Leipsic market is held at the great fur 'messe' at Eas- ter time. To 1t come buyers and sell lers from North and South America, Persia, China, Siberia, Japan. Tibet and England. The .messe' lasts two weeks and is an interesting relic of medieval times which still retains its import. ance.
 Germany takes the foremost place in the coloring of all sheepskins, which is attributed to the composition of the German river water and to the prop critics of the German city. There are sent annually to the sales at Leipsic and Nizhni Novgorod 100000 English foxskins, 500,000 German foxskins. 100000 Russian foxskins, 90,OOO Amer ican red foxskins and over 5o,OOO Alas kan foxskins of all sorts"

Lie and Lay.

These two little three-letter words have a capacity for making trouble with speakers and writers that Is out of all proportion to their size. It seems to be utterly useless to remind people that '1le" is an intransitive verb, and Hay" a transitive; that grammatical distinction Is entirely too vague. The only way to correct the abuse is to keep on calling attention to 1t and to illustrate 1t by example, as in the fol lowing sentences, in the present and the past tense: "I told him to lay the book on the table - ''I told him to lie down and be quiet :" He laid the book on the table," He lay down and was quiet;" He has laid aside enough money for his expenses - He has lain In bed too long already"

Queer Grass.

There Is grass in some parts of New MexIco-and perhaps in other parts of the Southwest-that makes the animals that eat 1t go to sleep. It Is said that horses fall asleep standing after eating 1t, while COWS and sheeI, generally lie down. The cattle often come across patches of the grass, where they feed for half an hour or so, and then go to sleep. No serious results follow. It-is-not yet known what f; is in the grass that produces the sleep 1t may be opium, as in the poppy, or 1t may be some substance the nature of which has not been discovered.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de-
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be-
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits Of
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord, please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, if you can't
do it, please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.
