ARTIST NOT BUSINESS MAN.
Whistler Had Big Bank Account and

The Dundee Advertiser tells story
Illustrating Whistlers forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct. Be-
ng hard pressed for debt and having
finally been informed he would be

mentioned the matter to one of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had few pounds in the
bank. the exact sum unknown. he re
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way TO business to ascertain
what was required to make his ac-
count good for check of slightly over
$50, and to deposit that amount for
him as loan. The friend was quite
willing, and in due time stood at the
cashiers desk of Whistler's bank ask

mans balance. explaining his errand

PENALTIES OF GREAT PLACE.
Thrice Servants Those Who Have
Risen to High Estate.

Men in great place are thrice SER
vants-servants of the sovereign or
state, servants of fame, and servants
of business: so as they have no free
dom neither in their persons, nor In
their actions, nor in their times. II is
a strange desire to seek power, and
to lose liberty or to seek power over
Others and to lose power over a mans
self The rising unto place is labori-
Gus, and by pains men come to greater
pains, and it is sometimes base and
by indignities men come to dignities.
The standing is slippery and the re-
greet is either a downfall or at least
an eclipse, which is a melancholy
thing Cum non sis qui fueris, non
esse cur wells vivere." tSince you
are not what you were. there is no
reason why you should wish to live.)
Nay. retire-men cannot when they
would, neither will they when it were
reason: but are impatient of private
ness even in age and sickness which
requires the shadow like old towns
men, that will be still sitting at their
street door. though thereby they offer
age to scorn.-Erom Lord Bacon's

CHEW GUM IN COURT,
Western Judges. Lawyers and Jures
All Addicted to Habit.

The prevalence at important trials
here and elsewhere seems to have had
the somewhat unusual result of boost

popular dramatic productions based
on municipal corruption plots are not
the only things that have thrived on

six days a week in the court room and
deprived of the solace OF cigar or to-
bacco, the jurors chewed gum. The
practice spread to the members of the
juries which have followed. and now

the court rooms where any of the
trials are in progress will see a room

Superstitions About Water.

which never fails TO send little thrills

The Style in Clocks.

There are funny things about the
clock business" said the salesman
from Connecticut. 'Nine-tenths of the
clocks that | sold on my last trip
were eight-day clocks. Everybody
seems TO have serious objections now
adays to winding clocks. IL ] could
provide customers with 30-day clocks
or 60-day clocks, without too much
additional cost. they would prefer
them. The demand for long-distance
timepieces represents decided
change in taste. A year or so ago
everybody was clamoring for 24-hour
clocks. on the ground that they kept
better time. Now, if | could put on
the market some of those one-year
and five-year clocks that venturesome
manufacturers turn out now and then
as curiosities they would prove ready
sellers"

Mistakes We Make.

Moths do not eat furs or cloths.
They lay their eggs in these rich
stuhs, and it is the worm from the
eggs that do the eating. There are no
hooting stars. Stars are immense
bodies, many times larger than the
earth. The so.called shooting stars
that glide so splendidly across the
nocturnal sky are meteors-fragments
weighing as rule, but few pounds.
Sunstroke is really heat apoplexy. 1t
is the moisture in the air, rather than
the actual rays of the sun, that causes
sunstroke. In dry climates. such as
1872 degrees in the shade, sunstroke
is much rarer than with US.
