Remarkable CIairuoyancy.

When people are determined to
find evidence to convince them of a
thing they are bound to believe
there is never any lack of it. A GER
tain man who accepted as true the
pretensions of charlatan who
claimed to be able to tell the past
history, character and future of any
person from his handwriting said
one day to a friend:
"Why, look at the things he is
able to tell you from mere glimpse
at your handwriting! The first
thing he said to me was, Z see you
never took a prize in photography
while you were at school, and it was
true"
''Did he give you any idea how
he knew that? ?"
'He said he could tell it merely
from the way in which l had made
the curves of the letters g and h in
the word Ehandwrightingp"

The knowledge that there is money
in the very common and much de.
spised weeds is spreading every year,
and a very considerable industry in
medicinal weeds has arisen, but it is
far short of what it should be. The
average farmer cannot bring himself
to regard as other than a heresy the
declaration that a weed is simply a
useful plant out of place.
The price paid by big jobbing drug
houses for leaves, flowers or roots of
the cOmmOner weeds which aff1ict the
farmer with their presence when he
lets them get out of place are as fol

A rRlGHTFUL CONFLICT.
Battle With a Maniac on a Chimney
$50 Feet High.

Battle With a Maniac on a Chimney
$50 Feet High.
Every time ] see tall chimney"
said an Englishman, 81 am remind
ed of a thrilling affair that hap
pened when | was a lad in Bradford,
England, my birthplace. A $50
foot chimney had just been com
pleted, and two brickmasons only
were left on the top to put the fin
ishing touches on it. Both of them
were big men. One of them, fell
low of gigantic strength, went sud
denly insane just as the last bit of
work was done on the chimney, and
his companion looked on with hor-
ror while the maniac deliberately
cut away the rope ladder leading
from the top of the chimney to the
ground.
"The maniac no sooner did this
than he turned to his companion
and calmly announced that he was
going to throw him over the side of
the chimney to the ground. They
closed, and a terrific protracted
struggle ensued. The workmen
down below had seen the rope lad
der when it struck the ground, and
they knew at once that something
was wrong with the two men at the
sop.
''They got away from the chin
ney at a sufficient distance to see
what was going on up at the top,
and they witnessed the frightful en-
counter between the two men. The
maniac frequently by pure strength
got his companion over to the very
edge of the chimney. Every time
he did this the sane man would mus
ter up all of his force and push the
mailman back. The hand to hand
battle went on for hours, while a
company of fremen down below
were endeavoring to shoot a line
over the chimney by means of a
rocket cannon. Finally the sane
man got certain hold on the mad
man and broke the latter's arm.
Then the maniac lay quiet.
CATER hours of aiming the fire
men managed to get line over the
chimney, which the exhausted brick
mason, almost all out from his ter
ribIe struggle with the insane man,
grabbed. Then he drew up the
rope ladder, fastened it and came
down to the ground, sinking into a
semicomatose condition from which
he did not emerge for days.
"Two fremen volunteered to 60
up the rope ladder after the maniac.
They had nearly reached the top of
the chimney when the insane man
walked over to the edge, looked
around quietly for minute or SO,
paying no attention to the cries of
his rescuers, and then dived head
foremost to the ground. He was
probably dead before he struck the
earth, and he was picked up shape

Money in weeds? To be sure The
national department of agriculture has

A Snap.
My little cousin Marguerite
Has everything her way.
She doesn't ever do thing
But run around and play.
She sasses back like anything
And gets her apron soiled,
And all the aunts and uncles say,
"Too bad that she is spoiled"
Her mother says: Il wish you'd try
To be more ladylike.
It isn't nice when you get mad
Like naughty boys and strike"
But she pretends she doesn't hear,
And when her ma is through
She simply goes ahead and does
The things she wants to do.
And all the neighbors in the row,
You may be sure, are shocked.
When she's around the hired girl
Must keep the pantry locked.
She tears her dresses shamefully
And gets her stockings wet
And no one round dares say word
To papa's little pet
She plays with little alley kids
And let's them call her" sis
And she has just a lot of fun
That other children miss.
Down in the basement with the cats
You're apt to find her coiled.
She always has bully time.
