SHE GOT HER MAN-HAPPY.
Indian Woman Not Likely to Be Left
Far Behind in Lies Battle.

Writing of the famous Dean Kaye
of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A.
Lovewell, says:
Dean Kaye has had interesting ex-
periences during his s%oujourns in the
wilderness. Once an Indian woman
came to his cabin.
"'You marry?' she asked.
YES said the dean, I can marry
folks. Have you got a MANI
Again the woman grunted, and de-
parted. About shutdown she returned,
dragging with her an apparently
abashed and reluctant brave.
Got him. she remarked, laconical-
ly, producing her marriage license.
The man knew no English, but the
m prompted him when it became
necessary for him to give his assent
to the deans questions. When it was
over the squaw paid the minister his
fee and led her husband away in tri-
umph."

Microscopic Writing.

A remarkable machine made by a
lately deceased member of the Royal
Microscopical society for writing with
a diamond seems to have been broken
up by its inventor. A specimen of its
works is the Lords prayer of 227 let
ters, written in the 1,237,000 of a
square inch, which is at the rate of
53,SS0,000 letters or Is complete
Bibles, to a single square inch. To
decipher the writing it is necessary to
use a 1-12-inch objective. which is the
high power lens physicians employ for
studying the most minute bacteria.

PonpLuus China.

The population of the Chinese en-
pire is largely a matter of estimate.
There has never been such census Of
the empire as that which is
taken every decade in this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de
Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly
reliable. According to that estimate,
the population of the empire is, in
round numbers, about 400, 900, 900. 1t
is probably safe to say that if the
human beings on earth were stood up
in line every fourth one would be a
Chinaman.

AVOID RISK IN BUYING PAINT.

You take a good deal Of risk if you
buy white lead without having abso-
lutte assurance as to its purity and
quality. You know white lead is often
adulterated, often misrepresented.
But there's no need at all to take
any chances. The Dutch Boy Paint
er" trade mark of the National Lead
Company, the largest makers of GEN
| white lead, on a package of
White Lead, is a positive guarantee
of purity and quality. It's as depend
able as the Dollar Sign. If you'll
write the National Lead Company,
Woodbridge Bldg, New York City,
they will send you a simple and GER
tain outfit for testing white lead, and
a valuable book on paint, free.
