Tightwads Cured BY Hypnotism.

DR.. Negresco, a noted physician,
read before the medical society a
paper dealing with an analysis Of the
psychology of avarice, claiming ava
rice to be a form of insanity. durable
by hypnotism and suggestion.
The learned physician pointed out
that close-f1stedness is not the only
abnormal symptom in an avaricious
person. Like a victim of melanchol-
ia, the closefisted person shuns So
ciety and even his friends and spends
his days brooding over alleged trou-
bles and financial problems. He Is
forever on the lookout for persons
liable to deprive him of part of his
wealth by legal or illegal means.
Like insane people, he lacks in moral
and physical sense.
The lecturer stated that he has
cured several persons so afflicted by
hypnotism and suggestion. - New

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. IL they did
IT would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot OF INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out OF business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his pro-
duct. He takes his business reputa-
ton In his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er OF his goods. with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
VINO holds out Inducements" offer
Ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand-sidestep
responsibility. and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example OF the kind OF pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark Is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's ad-
vertising Of pure White Lead as the
best paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark Is an absolute guaranty of pur-
ity In White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National

any address a blow-pipe and instruc-
lions how to test the white lead for

OutMitted The Landlord.

When recently leasing a house in
fashionable suburb of Philadelphia
the lessee failed to examine closely
the terms of~the lease. After a time
his landlord called and reminded
him that he was bound to do all
the outside painting at certain in
tervals. The tenant protested in
vain; so he engaged painters and or
dered them to paint the whole front
of the house red, white, and blue
in stripes.
When it was finised the neighbor-
hood rose up in arms, and the land
lord was frantic. The tenant polite
ly explained that there was nothing
in the lease about the color, so he
intended to finish the job by paint
ing the back of the house green with
large yellow spots. The landlord
saw that he had met his match and
within a few days the tenant had a
new lease in which the landlord I'M
dertook to do all the outside paint
ing.-From Lippincott's Magazine.

RECLUSE 50 YEARS
IN FAIRY PALACE.
Nine. De PreVigny Dead After
Her Long Life OF Mourning For
Her Husband.

Nine. De Previgny is dead after
having lived fifty years in her fairy
palace in the Boulevard Poissonniere
without ever looking out upon the
street or leaving the house, writes
the Paris correspondent of the New
York American. Her last will and
testament provides that the palace
and park be turned into a home for
the aged. For the administration of
the home she left a capital of 10, OOO,-
600 francs ($2, O.O00).
After the funeral of the eccentric
old lady the relatives hired a number
OF mechanics to open the windows of
the house and the gates of the palace
and gardens. For fifty long years the
shutters on the boulevard side of the
great mansion had been nailed down,
and communication with the outer
world was had only by small door
in the wall which surrounded the
palace on all sides.
When Nine. De Previgny, now de-
ceased. entered the palace for the
first time as its chatelaine, she was
just turning twenty and a bride. At
the wedding breakfast, scarcely an
hour after the wedding ceremony,
her young husband fell from his
chair, dead. The bride, thus sudden
ly made a widow, dismissed her rela-
tives and other guests, and, calling
her servants together, asked which of
them were willing to remain under
the following conditions:
The mansion to be closed up tight;
the horses to be disposed of, and no
direct communication with the outer
world was to be had under any cir.
cumstances.
Twelve servants accepted the con-
ditions. OF them five are still alive
having shared their mistress incar.
ceration to the last. During the fifty
years of their residence in the closed
mansion they never saw a newspaper
never talked to an outsider. They
never heard of the downfall Of Napo.

The servants were content to vege-
tate, hoping for their final reward in
the shape of a capital of half a mill.
ion francs which the rich recluse
promised to all who remained With
her.
During these fifty years Nine. De
Previgny ordered annually of one OF
the big man milliners twelve white
silk gowns, with undergarments and
slippers to match. for she chose to be
always attired as on the day of her
bridehood and widowhood. On the
first of every month she donned q
new bridal robe. OF this years sup.
ply five were left, and in one of them
Nine. De Previgny was buried.

No Lone DOG Nav Bay The Moon.

No Lone Dog May Bay The Moon.
The new Kent control OF dogs
order. 1908, provides that no dog
shall be allowed out between the
hours of sunset and sunrise without
being under proper restraint, and
the first summons under this order
was heard at Bromley, when Edward
Gillian, Of st. Annes Lodge, was
summoned for allowing his dog to be
out alone at night.
The defendant said that the dog
must have either broken loose or
have been decoyed away. He hoped
that now they would have proper
police protection and that IL would
not be necessary to keep a dog. His
place had been broken into and moth
ing had been discovered about the
perpetrators.
The bench said that as 1t was a
new order, with which the public
were not generally acquainted. 1t
would only order the payment OF
costs, but it would be well for the
public of Kent to make a note of
the order.

A CHILD OF THE UNITED STATES
General Batcheller's Story of His
Daughters Meeting King Edward.

General George Sherman Batchel
Ter, who died in Paris a couple OF
weeks ago, was fond OF telling a
pretty story of his first term of ser
vice 10 Egypt as Judge of the Interna
period King Edward. then Albert Ed
ward. Prince of Wales, made a visit
to the Khedive's realm and a great
oficial reception was given to him at
Alexandria. OF course General Batch.
eller was one of the guests. and as
1t was an open air event he took his
daughter with him, who was a small
person, i've or six years old.
Now the young Lady had heard 3
good deal about the Prince and she
had plans of her own in regard to
him. So 1t happened that when the
proceedings were at their height Gen.
eral Batcheiler missed her from his
side. While he was looking for her
she was edging her way through the
crowd of English and Egyptian off,
GERS, diplomats and other high func-
tionaries until she reached the
Princes side, where she stood for
some time, as her father learned later
on. watching him intently.
At last she seemed to be quite sure
of his good nature, for she reached
out her hand and gently stroked his
left hand as it rested on the handle
Of his sword. The Prince turned
aroLe4d with an astonished express
sion, but when he saw the pretty
child's face smiling up al him he
smiled amiably himself, stopped and
shook hands with her and asked who
she was. She answered:
I'm Miss Kate Batcheller, of the
United States"
The Prince was greatly amused,
and when they told him who her ia
Their was, he expressed a wish to
meet the General. and complimented
him on his ~resolutely American little
GIRL" as he put it.-New York Sun.

Has Memorized 100000 Dates.

E. G. Laston, who has just issued
a challenge to the world for the mem.
DRY championship, although only a
young man of twenty-three years, is
veritable walking encyclopaedia, for
he has memorized 10000 dates of the
principal events in the worlds history
since the creation. 1t was quite by
accident that he discovered that rs
had an exceptional gift of memory.
He was being trained as an army
officer, when an attack of rheumatic
fever dispelled his hopes in that di.
rection. At the time he happened to
meet the Zancigs in India, who, no.
ticing what a remarkable memory lac
had for dates, advised him to cult
vate it. He then purchased a coy
of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates"
and sought to commit to memory the
dates Of the most important events
in the worlds history by writing fifty
to 100 dates on piece of paper, and
rewriting them three or four times
until he had fully grasped them, with
the result that ne has a repertoire Of
thousands OF dates, and can give the
correct answers without the slightest
