CHEAP RATE VICTIMS.

Every reduction in steerage rates s responsible for a lot of dead-broke Americans floating around in the streets of Rotterdam and other steamship lines," said an old trav- eler. "An exodus of impecunious young men afflicted with vanderlust is always feature of these compe- titions in rates. The notice, Twenty Ave dollars to Rotterdam or any other old port appeals to their ven- turesomA spirit, and many young ster who cannot scrape up two dol- lars above the necessary passage money and who doesn't know a word of any language except English is going to take advantage of the of- fer. Some of them no doubt work their way back all right. but moro encounter all kinds of hardships. During every steerage war American ,onsuls at foreign ports find enough charity work to keep them busy"

FORTUNE AWAITS LUCKY MAN
invent Varnish That Will Satisfy Piano Manufacturers, and Atflu-
 ence Is Yours.

The piano manufacturer was talk ing. "A fortune of million dollars. at least" he said, awaits the man who can invent varnish which will re: spond to changes of temperature in exactly the same rate at which wood responds.
 Everybody who ever has made or owned a highly polished article of furniture knows that the surface is liable to break into small. cracks-be- come finely cracked-and thus it's beauty is lost. This cracking Is caused by the fact that sudden changes of temperature affect varnish especially fine piano varnish-al- most instantly, while the wood be- meath contracts or expands at a diff ferent rate. This -splinters the var nish, and thus far no manufacturer has been able to get the best of the situation. We are waiting for this en- tirely possible elastic varnish, which. when 1t shall come, will be more vel come to the manufacturers of fine fur niture than the flying machine is to the world at large. A piano, delicate as it Is, could be stored in an ice house without detriment to it's pol ished surface. provided the tempera- ture was kept even, but changes, es- pecially if sudden. are fatal to the beauty of the case

ITALIANS IN ARGENTINA.

The Italian is the principal im- migrant. He is easily assimilated into citizenship because of the lan- guage, religion and mode of living. The very best class of Italian immi- grants have come hither and now form highly respected portion of the population. If furnishing ex- amples of thrift and industry to a people so lacking in these qualities as some classes of Argentinians are, Is sufficient reason for a grant of citizenship these people deserve it.. Whole colonies of Italians have been established in various places. So large percentage of the immigrant class has come from Italy that they have even had some effect upon the language noticeable in the modifca- ton of the sounds of the letters From a Buenos Ayres Letter to the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature
 That Habitually Does So, Ao- .tS cordlnq to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as l know every rep tle, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying It. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, havlng only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem.
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as supertinous. The germ, or bud, must De there, for the Dorking fowl has produced fifth toe under some in- nuence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four.
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls one IS turned backward, and by a eunning contrivance the act of bend- mg the leg draws then all auto- matlcally together. So hen closes i.s toes at every step it takes, as if Y grasped something and of course when It settles down on its roost .nsy grasp that tight and hold it @st till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch ulS mechanism is only an encum- trance, so many of them, like the powers, abolish the hind toe entire Y and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of One or the front toes also, retaining 0niy two.-Strand Magazine.

FEAR FLYING MACHINES.

When Zeppelin III. made the
flight from Dusseldorf to Essen last
month it was observed that horses
and cattle ran wildly about the
meadows as it approached and sheep
crowded with loud bleatings around
their shepherd. From these facts
Count Zeppelin concludes that the
employment of airships of whatever
type will have a disastrous effect on
furred and feathered game. All an
imals show fear at their approach
partridges, quail and other game
birds cover and hide themselves and
domestic cocks utter warning crows,
as if they perceived some gigantic
bird of prey. Van Hoffken, the
Swedish aeronaut, when at a mod
crate height, watched elk, foxes,
hares and other animals take to
fight and dogs rushed bowling into
the house.-Deutsche Jager-Zeitung.

Gothenburg.

From ~Gothenburg, Sweden, a cor
respondent writes: "The difficulties
under which wine and spirit mer-
chants labor nowadays here may bs
judged from the following incident,

"The assistant meditated and then
said, IF you go across the street and
telephone to us from the cigar shop
we can supply YOU I telephoned
and five minutes later l had the
whisky. l went for another bottle
the next day and found that the reg
ulations had become more stringent.

A LONG WAY HOME.

An old Confederate soldier who
lived in Denver entertained a lot of
the men from his regiment when
they came up from Mississippi on
an excursion.
The colonel was hospitable and
kept his brothers in arms until they
were all broke. Then they borrowed
anywhere from five dollars to a hun
bred each to get back on and the
colonel lent it gladly. Each one
promised to send the money back as
soon as he got home.
Two years later he was talking
about the excursion.
"Them's mighty good fighters,
every one of EN-" he said, "but they
was all lost on the way back. l don't
reckon they ever did get home."-

Sunday School Picnic

The North Wildwood Sunday School
held their first picnic at Highland
Beach over on the Bay shore and was
well attended considering the PROBABLE
ity of the weather. With hammocks,
swings and games the children spent a
very pleasant day. The only accident
that occurred was the slight mistake
made by Robert Mccullough in plac-
ing a lunch basket on the fire instead
of the coffee pot, for which he was re-
warded with the we'll known home
remedy 80 often used by parents.
Peter Surran kindly donated the use of
one team, while Amos Christ's kind
ness In giving the Sunday school $500
covered the expense of the other team.
John Bradshaw provided means for
taking the refreshments. We hope
that by next year the growth Of the
school will demand more means Of
conveyance.

You Will Never Have It As Long A

Just as long as you have dyspepsia your food will not properly digest. and the nutritious elements in the food Will not be extracted or absorbed, and impoverished or watery blood will fellow.
 This condition may not be apparent at first. but it will come just as sure as the sun will rise again.
 Any stomach ailment, including all forms of indigestion, can be pTomp ly cured by using Mi-o-nu tablets. a scientific treatment unsur. passed.
 It stops fermentation, belohing of gas and taste of sour food almost at once
 The mighty power of Mi-0-na to in- vigorate and restore the stomach to perfect condition is known every where.
 Mi-o-na cures by building up-by banishing the cause. For thin people it is "a great flesh builder, because it causes the stomach to give more and purer nutrition to the blood. It cures sea and car sickness and vomit- ing of pregnancy almost immediately. Anderss Jacobsen sells Mi-o.n na for 50 cents al Large box, and guarantees it to cure or money back.
