WHEN THEY ARE NOT WANTED
Some Peopfs Seem to Have Faculty
 for unconseiously RuttIng-ln.

Have you ever noticed" said the melancholy man, "how it is the voca- ton of certain people to get in the way--to be around when they are not wantedf suppose that if they were aware of their calling they would feel bad about 1t. But, as 2 matter of fact, they never are aware of 1t, and this, probably, explains why they keep at 1t. Take my brother-in-law, for in- stance. He has marvellous faculty for turning up at inopportune moments. If we are going to have company to dinner we can surely count on mes sage from him asking whether it would be convenient for his wife and himself to drop in on us. If am an ticipating quiet hour of reading In the evening 1t is ten to one that I'll hear his voice in tho hall. Just as I am hastening to close up my office in the afternoon he Is apt to come in and establish himself for prolonged talk. Take hint? Such men never take a hint. They are so obtuse that they don't see when their presence turns company into crowd. They have not learned the art of effacing themselves on occasions, and they never will. You feel sorry for them at first. but sor- row soon changes to another senti- ment."

Pointer for Husbands.

When you have married your wife. you would think you were got upon a hilltop, and might begin to go down ward by an easy slope. But you have only ended courting to begin mar riage Falling in love and winning love are often difficult tasks to over bearing and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also business of some importance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and good will The true love story commences at the altar, when there lies before the married pair a most beautiful con- test of wisdom and generosity. and a lifelong struggle toward an unattain- able ideal Unattainable? Aye, surely unattainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one.-R. l.. Stevenson.

A Matter of Hioh Politics.

One the wittiest of English peers Is Lord Longford. and he has also earned the reputation of being one of the worst dressed, in spite of the fact that for 20 years he has been in the Second Life Guards. The story goes that friend once met him in Ireland garbed in pair of combinations which were not on speaking terms with his boots, and chaffed him mer- cilessly about the lucid intervaP' that occurred between them But Tom my" as Lord Longford is known to his intimates, in nowise disconcerted, blandly explained that it was really matter of high politics. You see, my dear fellow, the brooches are made by tailor who is a rampant Orange man, while the boots are the achieve ment of Fenian cobbler, so how can you expect 'em to meet?"

Rats, Plague Carriers of India.

Before plague makes its appearance in house the rat mortality generally
 gives warning and case occurs
 among the people in house near which rats have been found. The peo- pie have now come to know that there is some connection between the rat mortality and the occurrence of plague cases in certain locality. The rats SO about from one place to an other and they carry infection from place to place and render the task of controlling plague, when 1t is once spread, very difficult It therefore necessary that the public should CO., operate with the health department to destroy as many rats as possible. The rains have now stopped, and, as 1t is tbe breeding season for rats, the pres snt is the Attest occasion for a cam paign against rats.--Bombay Gazette.

Fat Men and Jobs.

Employment agents say it's about as hard to get work for fat man as for a gray-haired one. According to their statements, employers of labor hold that fat man is indolent. They as sert that the hustler. the fast, nervous, energetic worker, is sinewy rather than fat, and does 30 per cent. more work than the soft, fat fellow. Tt is not uncommon for us to advise fat ap- plicants to diet" said an employment agent, "and reduce their weight before beginning to canvass for job" So far as recorded. Dr. Osler has ex- pressed no opinion on the expediency of chloroforming men who are running to adipose tissue.

MAKES THE WORK EASY.
How One Clever Woman Minimized
 Her Labor.

One woman who does her own housework, from preference, ends the day with less fatigue than many housewives who have an assistant. She has a kitchen cabinet. coal range, and gas stove, and a stool just high enough to allow her to sit comfortably before the ironing table. Her house is as neat as any woman I can call to mind. Her husband has never ceased to marvel at her and her achievements, but system and thought are responsible for it all. It cannot be very comfortable for a man to go home from hard days work to find disorder, tired woman and picked-up meals. Left-overs can De disguised. you know, and dainty table appointments and an air ol serenity will cover many shortcom ings of the larder The majority ol men dislike the hustle of home dress making and should be spared thaf ordeal-and a few others .--Montrea Herald.

Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to a camel among plants is a curious specimen of the cucumber family which bears the name of the Ibercillea soborae This plant, like the camel, Is a native of the desert and 1t has to go without water longer than the animal. Az the rainy season in the desert comes only once year nature provides the I. s. with reservoir to store UT enough moisture to last 1t between times. The organ in which the water Is stored is located at the base of the stem. It is covered with a sort oi macintosh envelope, through which the water can neither escape nor evap crate. This water holder rests on the sand throughout the entire period o1 drought. but when the rain comes il springs Into activity.

Laundry Notes.

To make any clothing extra stin when laundering, it is best to dry the garments first, then run through starch and dry the second time. Flour starch should not be used for dainty waists. since it gives a yellow tinge to them. A mixture of lump and gloss starch will be best and such ar ticles should be wrapped in damp towels instead of being sprinkled be. fore ironing. First iron the sleeves, then the front, lastly the back and collar and place the waist to dry on a hanger made from rolled newspaper tied in the middle with string. This keeps the waist from creasing by be ing hung with other clothes on the rack. Small starched articles like cuffs and collars should be dried be fore the kitchen fire or they absorb any dampness in the room and be come limp.

The former sexton had been ar rogant, boisterous and irreverent. To do the wrong thing at the wrong mo- ment was his speciality. He retired at the end of the year by request of the. trustees. The new sexton was a colored man, and from the very first gave intense satisfaction. His move ments were as soft as a cats; doors were never slammed, nor did he open windows with bang.

Doctors Rich Fee from American

A French nerve doctor was called to treat an American visitor for acute neuralgia. Electricity was applied with excellent results. The patient, gratifed, promised to send the doctor check. The next day the medico was astonished to deceive a check for f1.000. He went and asked if mis. take had not heen made and received further expressions of gratitude, A few days later the American sent title deeds for a house near Arc de Tri' omphe of the value of 100000 francs Gil Bias vouches for the story and says the doctor has just moved into the house given him.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Before an audi ence of 500 representatives of the manufacturing, commercial and edu- cational interests of the Middle West four men Thursday night presented the first comprehensive programme of new industrial education for the youngster who works with his hands. The occasion was the opening session of the first convention of the National Society for the Promotion of Indus trial Education, held at dinner at the Auditorium hotel. The four men were Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States (by letter. i; Charles w Eliot, president of liar yard university; James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Manufacturers association, and Henry L. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie foundation.
 On the boy who goes into the trades, said the speakers, depends a mere possibility to retain the indus. trial supremacy given by the coun- try's natural resources. And toward the boy who goes into the trades, they added. the educational efforts of the next decade must be directed.
 My interest in this movement" wrote President Roosevelt, "arises more than all else out of the desire to see the American boy have his best opportunity for development"
 Direct. practical suggestion for the establishment of system of trade schools as a part of the educational equipment was the underlying note of the addresses.
 Briefly summarized the programme outlined by the various speakers ap- peared as follows: Introduction of trade school training in elementary schools throughout the country; es- tablishment of combination of school and shop instruction to occu. py the time between the ages of IA and IT; advancing the compulsory ed ucation age to IT or IS: establishment of a system by which elementary school teachers shall sort children according to their destination:" aboI- ishment of the idea of absolute de mocracy" in the public schools; for nation of a special educational com mission to organize trade school system; creation of national com. missioner of industrial education
 Theodore w. Robinson, vice presi dent of the Illinois Steel company presided over the banquet in his ca pacity as chairman of the Illinois commission of the national society. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president ol Harvard university. advocated that American boys and girls be "sorted out" by agents of authority, teachers perhaps, and forced by law to study trades assigned to them. Eliot's ideas caused a. sensation at the banquet oi the national society for the promo ton of industrial education, held al the Auditorium. Here is what Dr Eliot said.
 q assert that it is perfectly proper to enact laws which will give the teachers the authority to sort out the boys and girls, assign to each the trade at which he or she seems best adapted, and the law should then compel these children to be trained for these trades."

! TH[ STANDARD Ol CASE
Government Continues Laying the Foundation of Suit to Dissolve
 tho Combine.
EVIDENCE OF REBATING IS VERY PLAIN
Deputy Commissioner of Corporations Durand Shows How oil Monopoly Got Cheaper Rates From Whiting, Ind, Than Their competItors--Pai Less Than Bills Called for.

Washington, Jan. 25.--In laying the foundation of it's case against the Standard Oil company In the suit for the annulment of the company's char ter, the government continued Friday the examination of E. Dana Durand, deputy commissioner of corporations, before the stated examiner, Judge Franklin Ferris.
 MT. Durand had presented, in his testimony, the various freight tariffs filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission relating to the rates paid by the Standard Oil company for the transportation of oil, particularly from Whiting, Ind, to Evansville, Ind, and East St. Louis.
 The tariffs, termed official. showed that the rates on oil was generally ii cents per hundred pounds. The con. tention of the governments counsel Frank B. Kellogg, was that the rail roads gave the Standard oil company a rebate, or a special rate, which made the rate paid by the Standard no more than Sh cents per hundred pounds and. in some instances not more than 6 cents per hundred pounds.
 At the beginning of his examination Friday Mir. Durand testified in the course of an Identification of certain official tariffs of the Chicago & East 8ern Illinois railroad that while the shipments of oil were waybilled at II cents per hundred part of the ship ments were carried at SA cents per hundred and the balance at 6 cents per hundred.
 MT. Durand explained that the col lection vouchers of the railroad which he exhibited showed that the amount actually paid by the Standard Oil com. .pany for such shipments as he re ferred to was less than the rate fixed In the official tariffs filed with the Commission.
 Mir Durand testified that Athens Blue Ridge, Columbus and Elberton ln Georgia; Humbolt. Springfield and Mckenzie, in Tennessee, and Eufaula 1n Alabama, took the rate of 6 cents per hundred pounds on oil from Whit ing, Ind, although the regular tarif rate was ii cents.
 In continuing his testimony MT. Du rand said that in nearly every instance the actual rate paid by the Standard was less than the rates fixed by tar fffs of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Yoad.
 The witness submitted copy ol m account between the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad and the Stan dard oil company for oil shipped iron ,Whiting, Ind. to Evansville. Ind. be tween February 1 and IS. 1906. This account showed q collection from the Standard of sA cents per hundred while the waybills indicated a rate O n cents per hundred.
 We think the waybills showed { rate of SA cents,' insisted Attorne, Rosenthal.
