One Woman's Wronas.

From the New York Weekly.
Mrs. Smallpurse (who found only a
few dimes In her husbands pockets
that morning)-I am just sick of this
plodding along year after year. Why
don't you do something to make
money?
Mr.. Smallpurse-I can't make any
more than a living at my business, no
matter how hard work.
Mrs. Smallpurse-Then do some
thing else. Invent something. ANY
American can invent.
Mr.. Smallpurse (some months after)
My dear, I've hit it, and I've got a
patent. My fortune is made.
Mrs. Smallpurse (delightedly)-Isn'
that grand! What did you invent?
Mr.. Smallpurse-I have invented a
barbedwire safety pocket for hus-
bands.

Life Saved by Cuticura.
81 have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for bad case Of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece Of raw
flesh, and l had to walk on crutches.
l bought a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two Treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. I have
now been cured over seven years, and

A Cold Lunch.
From Lippincott's.

The pupils of distinguished pro-
fessor of zoology, man well known
for his eccentricities, noted one day
two tidy parcels lying on their instruc-
tors desk as they passed out at the
noon hour. On their return to the lab
oratory for the afternoon they saw but
one. This the professor took carefully
up in his hand as he opened his lec-
ture.
I'm the study of a vertebrate we
have taken the frog as a type. Let
us now examine the .gastrocnemius

So saying, the professor united the
string of his neat parcel and disclosed

OYSTERS TAKE TO THE PIPE
Also to the Bottle--An Unusual Speci-
men at the Aquarium.


From the New York Sun.
Young oysters fasten upon anything they
may chance to light upon on the bottom,
on rocks, or 1t might be upon old boots
or dishes or bottles; but little out of the
usual is bunch Of oysters lately brought
to the aquarium attached to pipe.
This pipe is fancy clay, or It may be
meerschaum, with a short hard rubber
stem. At some time when the pipe was in
its owners possession the stem had
worked loose and he had bound 1t around
with several layers Of paper to make 1t
tight. and though It has been some years
under water this paper wrapping around
its stem still remains where II was put.
Its owner, some fisherman or oysterman,
had dropped the pipe overheard when fish
ing or oystering and when II had found a
resting place on the bottom oyster spawn
had settled on 1t and there grown up.
There are now attached to the pipe three
oysters probably three years old and three
empty shells. The oysters that once lived
In these shells were doubtless killed by
starfsh or by some boring enemy of the
oyster When the old pipe with the oysters
and oyster shells attached to 1t was fished
up there was brought up with It a small
snail that had found a temporary home
in one of the vacant shells.
Bottles with oysters growing In them and
boots and broken cups and saucers with
oysters attached to them are not so un-
common. but a pipe with oysters growing
on It is q little out Of the usuaI.

Quincy, Mass, Granite
Cutters In Conference.
New Rate Of Wages and the
Number Of Apprentices
Are Stumbling BIocks..-Satlsfae.

Quincy, Mass, Feb .11.-Announce-
ment was made today that the local
committees representing the granite
cutters and the granite manufacturers
of this city, who have been in confer
ence to frame bill of prices to take
the place of the agreement which cX-
pires March /, had failed to agree.
Under the provisions of the present
agreement, upon being certified to by
the secretaries of the two bodies, ques-
lions in dispute will go to the national
loard Of Cancellation which is made
up of representatives of the National
Granite Cutters Association and the
National Granite Manufacturers Assoc
citation.
On two questions, it is understood.
depend the failure to agree. The first
was the establishment Of a rate that
would give ali average wage Of $3.2S
a day. There was no dispute between
the committees over the establishment
of minimum wage of So a day. The
other question was that of limiting
the number Of apprentices to be al
lowed. Under the present agreement,
the manufacturer may hire as many
apprentices as he pleaSes. The union
now insists that the number be limit
ed to one apprentice for every four
iourneymen.
1t is elieved in granite circles here
that satisfactory adjustment will
be reached through the board Of con-
Citation. The tool sharpeners. who
are affiliated with the granite cutters
union, already have secured salts
factory rate. which, it is said, gives
them a slight increase on piece work.
The polishers. who also comprise q
A: ranch of the Cutters Union. have pre-
scented a new rate but no decision has
yet been reached. Quincy prices are
considered the standard in the granite
world
