A young man in responsible post
in a New York brokers' office asked
his employer for an increase in salary
the other day.
why do you want more than you've
been getting?" queried the boss.
We'll, I'm doing two mems work

70 converses with people mile or
so distant by whistling, using both
fingers and lips so expertly as to ex-
press all the signals required to make
the conversation Ineligible. A Came
room man uses a drub for the same
purpose. The instrument is rather
peculiar, it's surface being divided in
to two unequal portions, SO that when
1t is struck it yields two different
notes. With a code not unlike the taps
OF the telegraph system. the natives
make this drum express any syllable
of their language.

grow in vegetables.

in the joints of certain kinds OF BAN.

like this. Here is the cocoanat stone.
You find 1t in the endosperm OF the

shaped, it has always this milk-white
luster, like a pearl. The smaller stone,
with its pearly luster little tar
nished, is found in the pomegranate.
1t is pure carbonate of lime. These
stones are formed from silicious and
calcareous juices circulating in the

of a diseased condition. Man him.

RoTHscHILDs ONE LARGE CLAN.
Remarkable Number Of Unions Be-
tween Cousins Belonging to Family.

The founder Of the Rothschild fam
fly, Mayer Amschel OF the Red Shield,
dying in 1912, exhorted his FIVE sons,
engaged as loanmongers under him in
Frankfort, Vienna, London, Paris and
Naples, not only to remain faithful to
the law of Moses and stand ever
united. but to undertake nothing of
Importance without first consulting
their mother.
Nathan, founder of the London
branch, also was so convinced of the
business capacities of his wife, a
Cohen, that he not only left the huge
residue Of his fortune at her disposal,
but, says the Ladies' Realm, added
instructions that his sons were to en-
gage in no undertaking OF moment
without her consent.
How far the instruction was OBJ
served one is not in position to say.
but 1t is certain the Rothschilds have
done their best to live in family
unity, for from the Gentle point Of
view the number that have married
cousins is appalling. OF the FIVE chill
dren of the great Nathan each mar
ried cousin.
And, coming to contemporaries,
Lord Rothschild is the son of cousins
and the husband of a cousin Re
turning to Nathan, the Sidonia OF
"Coningsby," though his offspring
married cousins, reaction followed
In the next generation, for three of his
granddaughters, two of whom have
been already named, married not only
out of the family, but out of the
faith.

SENT PACKAGES BY NEIeHBoRs.
Custom of Early Days of New England
Settlement.

In the early days of the settlement
of New England the custom of send
ing packages by Reighbors who jour-
neyed to different parts of the country
was an established one. The note
book of Schoolmaster Joseph Hawley
of Northampton, Mass, when he
started on a trip to Boston, was filed
with such varied items as: Capt.
Partridge, dial and a dish kettle"
'son, Joseph, speckled red ribbon,
whistles, buckles and fish hooks, "a
shilling worth of plumb and SPICE"
two psalters, a bason and a quart
pot" In "Old Paths and Legends of
the New England Border" Katherine
M. Abbott says that 1t was the same
even as late as Judge Lyman's day;
his daughter, Mrs. Lesley, writes Of it
in "Recollections of My Mother:
There we're no expresses then, and
so when it was known in the village
Of Northampton that Judge and Mrs.
Lyman were going to Boston-and
they always took pains to make it
known-a throng of neighbors were
coming in the whole evening before,
not only to take an affectionate leave,
but to bring parcels Of every size and
shape, and commissions of every
variety.
One came with a dress she wanted
to send to a daughter at school; one
brought patterns of dry goods, with a
request that Mrs. Lyman would pur.
chase and bring home dresses for a
family of five. And would she go to
the orphan asylum and see il good
child of ten could be bound out to an
other neighbor? Would Mrs. Lyman
bring the child back with her?
The neighbors walked into the II
brary, where the packing was COINS
on, and when all the family trunks
were filled my father called out heart
lily: Here, Hiram, bring down an
other trunk from the garrett, the larg
est you can find, 20 hold all these pa
cels!"
A little boy came timidly in with
bundle nearly as large as himself, ant
would this be too large for Mrs. Ly
man to carry to grandmother"
mo, indeed. Tell your mother II
carry anything short of a cooking
stove"
Another trunk, Hiram" said my ia
Their, "and ask the driver to wait fiv

Those were the times when peopl
could wait five minutes for family S
well known, and beloved. Our drive
