He Talked Too Much.

In certain village of New Hamp-
shire there is quaint old character
known as Boss Mellin keenly alive to
the truth of the old saying, Silence
is golden" Mellin's gift in this re-
spect approaches genius, though he
was fully aware of what he deemed
his shortcomings therein.
Mellin used to make mattresses for
a living. One day native of the
place entered his shop and asked.
"Boss, what's the best kind of a mat
tress?"
"Husks," was the laconic reply of
Boss.
Twenty years later, so runs the ira
dition, the same man again entered
the shop and again asked, what, in
the opinion of Mellin, was the best
kind of a mattress.
Straw" said Boss.
"Straw? You told me husks was
the best!"
Boss Mellin emitted sigh. 1--WE
always ruined myself by talkin'," said
he.-Harper' Weekly.

Elder Duck Cultivated.

In Iceland, on certain islands, near
Ryckavik, the elder duck is raised in
systematic manner. 1t is really
more of small goose than duck,
being so Independent of fish and ami
NAL food as to be able to support it.
self by grazing on the seaweed at the
bottom of the sea, at a considerable
depth. 1t is splendid diver, being
as much at. home under the water as
on the surface. The great value of
the elder ducks down is well known,
and, owing to the birds tendency to
pull out such large quantities for lin
ing its nest that it leaves its lower
breast almost bare when 1t is setting,
there is no difficulty in getting good
supply of these feathers without de-
>stroying the birds. In Iceland it is
strictly guarded against intrusion.
The inhabitants consider it worse
crime than stealing deer in Scotland
for any person to shoot an elder duck.

France,s Roads Best in World.

Among the reasons which make
the highways of France the best in
the world is the requirement that all
preliminary roadmaking operations
shall be thoroughly performed, says
Leslie's Weekly. When embank-
ments are made, the earthwork is
built up only few inches at time
and, in the neighborhood of masonry,
rammed. Every ditch is carefully
cut at proper angle, rammed, and,
IL necessary, paved with stones.
Dangerous turns are protected by
stone parapets; at each cross road
there are sign posts, always in order,
and the Touring Club of France has
established indicators to remind the
tourist of dangerous curves, rapid
descents, etc. Every railroad cross
ing is protected by gate, which
has watchman in charge day and
night.

Protection of Roads.

The subject before the Massachu-
setts Highway Association at its last
quarterly meeting was the prot It: 1
of macadam roads from the excessive
wear of automcbiletravel and the sup
preston of dust. Experts of large
experience gave their views, the con-
sensus of opinion being that some
very bad smelling preparation in
which coal oil is main ingredient
is the best found so far. 1t is lament
able that the bad smell should be an
essential element of surface-preserv-
ing material for use on our roads.
The park commissioners preserved
our parkways and toulevards in this
section last summer at the cost of
all enjoyment for those who rode
over them.-Boston Post.

HUNTERS TIN CAN
LURE A SUCCESS.
Space Says He Learne OF 4 IN
India. Where Il Is Used 10 Catch
Fierce Tigers.

II fine old buck hadn't been so
anxious to read the labels on several
tin cans he would still be propelling
his antlers through the forests of Sui
livan County, in New York, instead
of lying in state at the home of
Farmer John Quick. Daniel Space,
of New York City, arrived at the
Quick homestead few days ago with
a trunkful of bullets and brand new
scheme for putting venison on the
table.
Quick and Space started out to as
certain if the latter's plan for trap
ping deer was practicable. The plan
consisted of stringing about twenty
tomato cans on a rope and stretching
the rope across the runway. While
one of the hunters stood near the
cans the other was to go back into
the woods and drive the deer toward
the opening. The scheme worked
satisfactorily the first time it was
tried.
Quick succeeded in locating deer
and driving It toward the runway,
where Space lay in wait. When the
deer was within 200 yards Space gave
the rope yank, and the cans set up
an awful jangling. The deer was sus-
picious at first. He hesitated for a
moment, and then his curiosity got
the better of him. Pulling his ant
lers down and tying them beneath his
chin he sneaked up to the cans and
began to inspect them. While thus
engaged Space took careful aim and
brought the animal to the ground
with his seventh shot.
That's trick learned in India"
said Space. "They use the tin can
trap out there to catch tigers. could
have killed him with the first shot,
but l gave him an opportunity to
finish his inspection of the cans"
The buck was fine specimen and
weighed 265 pounds.

Croquet.

Eben M. Byers, Pittsburg's famous
golfer, was talking at dinner about
dawdling players.
Nothing is more vexatious,' Mr..
Byers said, "than to follow one of
these dawdlers over course. They
should all be served as a bow-legged
chap was the other day.
"He was playing at Englewood.
His play was as slow as 1t was poor.
Setting his warped legs wide apart,
he would miss the easiest ball three
or four times handrunning. He was
retarding half dozen good, brisk
players, but this he didn't seem to
mind at all.
FINALLY one man, having drawn
very near, lost patience, and with a
neat shot sent his ball flying directly
between the slow players bow legs.
"The slow player jumped back in
great fright. Then he yelled angrily:
Say, do you call that golf?'
No. said the other, but call 1t
pretty good croquet. Washington

The Riot Act.

What is commonly known as read
ing the riot act" is better known than
the origin Of the phrase. The his
torical Riot act was passed by the
British Parliament in the reign of
George l. in IVA. It enacts that
felony is committed when twelve or
more persons unlawfully, riotously
and unanimously assemble together,
to the disturbance of the public peace,
so to continue together for an hour
after being commanded to disperse
by the Sheriff or Under Sheriff or a
Justice or the Mayor of the borough.
In the reading" of the British
Riot act, which is a necessary pre-
liminary to its being put into opera
ton, it is not customary to recite the
whole of the statute, which is rather
long one, but only the following
proclamation which 1t contains:
Our sovereign lord the King
chargeth and commandeth all persons
being assembled Immediately to dis
perse themselves, and peaceably to
depart to their habitations, or to
their lawful business. upon the pains
contained in the act made in the first
year of King George for preventing
tumults and riotous assemblies. God

THE PARABLE
OF THE TALENTS.
sssssssssssssssss . sssesssssss :

A man travelling into far country
called his servants and delivered unto
them the goods. And unto one he
gave five talents, to another two and
to another one; to every man accord
ing to his several ability, and straight
way took his journey.
Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the
same in the Street, and made them
other five talents-on paper. And
likewise he that had received two
talents; he also gained other two
on paper.
But he that had received one tai
ent went and hid 1t in a safety deposit
vault.
After time the lord Of these SER
wants cometh and reckoneth with
them. And so he that had received
five talents came and brought his ten
paper talents, saying, Master, put
my five talents into United Copper
and Inter-Met., which straightway be-
came all to the pazzaz, and / am
wiped out" His lord said unto him,
Thou hast been we'll done, thou SIM
pie, foolish servant"
He also that had received two tai
ents came and said, Master, here are
four talents on paper, the which are
like unto last years birds nest. Be-
hold, / invested in Amalgamated and
American Ice." And his lord said
unto him, Thou, too, hast been we'll
done, thou foolish servant"
Then he which had received the
one talent came and said, Master, I
was afraid, and went and hid thy tai
ent in a safety deposit vault: 10, here
thou hast that is thine"
His lord answered and said unto
him, Thou art wise little guy, and
l will take thee into the firm"
For in these days unto every one
that hath shall be given, and talent
in the bank is worth ten on the curb.

Gum and Thought.

One thing is certain-you cannot
chew gum and think at the same
time with any degree of success. You
may chew gum and work mechanical
ly, you may read with gum in your
mouth and perhaps not miss anything
in the author, but when it comes
right down to good hard mental effort
you cannot concentrate and achieve
the best results of which you are cap
able while your jaws work unceasing-
ly. That champing is just SO much
wasted energy and as such dissipates
your force and keeps your thinking
powers reduced to the lowest point.
Just put it down in your note book
as a fact that no man can think deep,
logical or we'll balanced thoughts
while his jaws are working overtime.

MONEY CHANGERS KNOW A LOT.
Indeed They Have to, to Keep Track
OF European Coins and Counterfeits.

81 never realized until to-day"
said a man who had just returned
from Europe, what an undertaking
is to be money changer"
81 came back with about $40 in
foreign money, principally French
and Italian. This took to a money
changers to cash in.
He looked over the coins rapidly.
throwing them into little piles and
putting down notes on a slip of paper.
When he had cleared up the lot he
said had $10.25 coming TO me.
"At first thought he was doing
me. But he was not. He showed
me dozen or so Italian coins that
had been demonetized and were
worth about forty cents on the dol
lar. There was nice little pile OF
counterfeits that were not worth n
cent, and altogether only about a
third of the coins that I brought
home we're worth their full value
"The. only consolation ! had was
that / thanked my stars l am in the
insurance business and not in the
exchange business, for my poor little
brain could not carry half the things
that those fellows have to remem-
ber."
The man with the coins did not
exaggerate. There are thousands of
different coins floating about that a
money changer has to know. He
has to keep in mind every demone-
tized coin made within the last hun
dred years
In addition to that there are
counterfeits. The immigrants bring
over heaps of bad coins. Many of
them buy up counterfeits cheap with
the hope Of exchanging them at Ellis
Island.
Then there are the coins OF the
South American countries. They are
worse than those of the European
countries. Brazil, for instance, has
good scheme all It's own. Certain
notes are good for ten years, after
that time for every year they lose
ten per cent. of their face value until
the whole value is used up and they
are worth only the paper they are
printed on.
AS one man expressed It you have
to know the history of the world to
be money changer. A peculiar part
of the business Is the reshipment OF
coins back to the countries whence
they came. often during the rush
season one firm sends back million
coins, while 1t is estimated that in
the course of year $10,000,000 In
foreign money is reshipped to Eu-
rope and a million to the rest of the
world.
Money changing is business just
like any other. They do not exchange
money. They buy it. When you
go there with foreign coins they buy
them from you at stated price.
When you go there to get foreign
coins you buy them from them at a
certain price just as you buy eggs
and cigars.-New York Sun.
