A Lovers Fears.

Presently VINEYARD left the colonel.
The old traveller was poring over o
map, the greater part of which was
occupied by notes of Interrogation,
implying doubts on the part of the
geographer. OF course, 1t was by the
merest chance that VINEYARD should
pass out by the window instead of the
door, and that he should cross the
smooth lawn and go straight to the
far corner of the old wall. 1t was
that particular corner whence the sea
was at all times visible far away to
the east.
Adonis followed at his masters
heels. Occasionally he raised his
rough muzzle and shifted at the air.
There had been rain in the night, and
from the valley there assembled a

around was fresh and cool and whole.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A man without purpose in life Is
like dog with no tail to wag.
The trouble with luck Is that it
seldom comes back to play a return
engagement.
The devil takes care of his own,
consequently he is kept pretty busy.
There are also as good compliments
as ever were fished for.
Some people are slow but sure,
while others are just slow.
Many a fellow who falls in love at
first sight never has a chance for an
other look.
Any man who can make money can
make friends.
Love is blind. At any rate, it can
seldom see its finish.
Love is blind, and self-love is posi-
lively incurable.
A man descends from his ancestors
and still may rise above them.
The male flirt never asks girl to
marry him till he's sure she won't.
If every man has his price lots Of
them should be on the bargain coun-
ter.
If man could only endure his own
troubles as easily as he thinks he
could endure other peoples this
would be a happier world.-From
"The Gentle Cynic." in the New York
Times.

Richest Family in Europe.

1t is not generally known that the
imperial family Of Russia is the rich.
est royal family in Europe, and de-
rives It's vast wealth from three
sources-the State treasury, the i'm.
perlal domains formerly church
lands) and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer in Harper's s
Weekly gives some interesting facts.
The State treasury pays out $1,000.
900 per annum for the needs of the
imperial house, principally for the
maintenance of the palaces and the
officials and servants attached to
them. The reigning Empress, for ex-
ample, has an allowance of 100000
per year, and the Dowager Empress
the same. Every child born to the
Car receivesfrom birth to the age of
twenty-one nearly $4,000 a year,
while the heir to the throne receives
annually, in addition to the main
tenance of palaces. $4,000. Daugh-
ters receive a dowry of 100000
ruhles when they marry.

4 The TIMBER king OF
Z two MILLION ACRES


A plain, quiet, sixty-eight-year-old
citizen of Minneapolis is reputed to
be richer in timber lands than Fred
erick Weyerhauser. who is reputed
to be "richer than Rockefeller" This
latest initiate into the Richer-Than-
Club is Thomas Barlow Walker.
In his own three-ply name he holds
100000 acres of the finest sugar pine
and yellow pine on the upper Sierra
Nevada Mountains, in Northern Call
fornia, and his holdings in Minnesota
make upward Of million acres. Mr..
Walker in truth, his friends say, Is
the real timber king, but he objects
to this title and insists that he is SIM
ply Minneapolis citizen.
He began life in the town of Xenia,
Ohio, and then by the processes of
berry picking, selling newspapers,
clerking, going on the road as trav-
cling salesman for Berea grindstones.
and taking college course at Bald
win University, in Ohio, he at last ar
rived at his real job in life, says
Hampton's Magazine.
At nineteen he started on his first
lumber enterprise. He went to Paris,
ILL.,. and without capital. without
friends, and without credit he con-
tracted to furnish the Terre Haute
and st. Louis Railroad Company with
cross-ties and other lumber. He man
aged to build up good business, and
would have made big success of it
had it not been for the failure of the
railroad company eighteen months
later. Not discouraged by this, he
went to teaching school until some
thing better could be found. The
something better was a surveyors S
job with the st. Paul and Pacific Rail-
road, and he worked most of his time
at surveying until after his marriage,
in 1858, to Miss Harriet G. Hulet,
the daughter Of his former employer.
Mr.. Walkers settling in Minneap-
oils was a mere accident. Some one
suggested that he might find employ
ment in the new town." ten miles

osity than anyih:nT oi:@, ha took the
boat that was starting there and
within an hour after reaching Min
neapolis he was being aided in his
search for employment by James j.
Hill. who was then a wharf clerk.
He decided to make that city his per-
manent home. He was among the
pioneers who saw the vast possibili-
ties in timerland investment in the
Northwest, and now he owns more
trees than Theodore Roosevelt could
shake big stick at.
His five sons are running the
Walker business now, while the ia
ther goes in for such un-American
things as rest, picture-collecting and
pottery commissioning.

A French medical man advises peo-
pie to drink buttermilk for long life.
He says that the Tactic acid attacks
and dissolves every sort of earthly
deposit in the blood vessels, keeping
the veins and arteries so supple and
free running that there can be no
clogging up; and hence there is no
deposit of chalky matter around the
joints, or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. 1t is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels which
brings on old age.

MANS NAILS GROW
II FEET IN 20 YEARS
Those on Middle Finger Mors
Rapid Than Those of First and
Third.

A scientist has estimated that in a
lifetime of seventy years man grows
nails which, IL 1t were possible to
preserve them uncut, would reach the
length of seven feet nine inches.
Exactly on what argument this
statement is based 1t Is hard to say.
for little observation will show
that during the greater portion of a
mans life he cuts his nails on an
average of once a week, and at each
pairing removes a sixteenth of an
inch, or the equivalent of quarter
of an inch per month, working out at
three inches a year.
This would give him a growth OF
seven feet six inches during the thirty
years he lives between twenty and
fifty. says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. In the other forty years, when
the growth is less rapid, he would
certainly produce four feet of nails,
so that eleven feet is better average
for the nail producing capacity of a
man.
1t should be noted, however, that
the growth Of the nails on the right
hand is, in most people. more rapid
than of those on the left hand. and it
may be that the scientists in question
has based his argument on the slower
growth of the left hand nails.
Another curious point is that the
rate Of growth of the nails depends
directly on the length of the finger:
thus, the nails on the two middle
fingers of men grow more rapidly
than those on the first and third
fingers, respectively, and these in
turn are more speedy in the growth
than those on the little fingers.

4 Joke on Mullin.

James Mullin, an Office holder at
the Philadelphia navy yard, joined
the bareheaded walking pedestrian
club a few nights ago-not as mat
ter of choice, however.
In supervising the assortment OF
some old material in the yard during
the day referred TO, there was under
his supervision a big colored fellow,
who seemed TO be shy hat.
Taking this occasion to get good
joke on his superior officer, he adj
dressed his workman:
Sam, you seem TO be in need of
a hat. / have one I'll give you. Go
over TO building No. "a and enter the
private office, where you Will see Il
panama hat, which | have discarded.
Use that. I would rather let you have
it than throw it away"
Sam went. but instead of finding
the office unoccupied. as Mullin
thought, the man on whom the trick
was to be played was present, and
when Sam told his mission he at once
saw the plot and retaliated.
We'll, SAM" he said, II have de-
cided to ask Mullin for that hat my
self but | will give you good derby
of mine that does not fit me-"
y. Handing the hat to Sam, he left
fo4the gate, as it was time to quit
for tye day. The derby was the
property 3f Mullin, who took the
joke very we'll. but is suffering the
loss of IS at.--Phiiadelphia

the big mail steamships TO call al
Fishguard, the new port on the coast
of Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
Fishguard is 80 miles nearer Queens
town than Holyhead. and 102 near
err than Liverpool. This means a
saving of at least six hours against
Liverpool and will enable the Lusit-
ania's passengers to reach London al
a reasonable hour next Tuesday
night. This is the shortest schedule
ever arranged for regular travel be-
tween New York and the British me-
tropolis. The same arrangement will
also prevail in regard to the west
bound steamships of the Cunard line.
