A CHANGE OF NEADS.
The Trick a Dusky Ruler Wanted .
Magician to Perform.

Thurston. the magician. had many
interesting experiences during his pro-
fessionai tour of the globe several
years ago. BE went to all sorts of
outlandish places and appeared before
rulers Of many strange lands and COM
munities. On one occasion bis man.
ager had arranged that Thurston
should give an exhibition before the
ruler of a province called Pagopago.
in the Fiji Islands. In the crowd that
saw the exhibition were many Of the
black and yellow slaves Of the chief
tain. All the spectators were amazed
at the many strange manifestations Of
the black art that Thurston offered,
but no trick appealed 80 strongly to
the assembled retinue and to the chief
tain as that in which a white duck
was made to appear with black head
and a black duck. after q moments
manipulation, with the head Of the
white duck The trick had to be re-
peated. and then the chieftain engaged
in long whispered conversation with
the interpreter.
"What is desired" queried the oblig-
ing trick player.
The interpreter coughed apologetic-
ally and then responded: RESPECTED
sir. our honored sire wishes you to
take two Of his slaves and put vel
low head on black man and the
black head on the body Of yellow
servitor. Our honored sire thinks it
would be very funny"
'Tell his royal higness," Thurston
replied. that could give a yellow
man black eye, but l would not like
to attempt to make his entire head
black. "-Phiiadelphia Record.

LONG LIVED OLIVE TREES,
Groves That Have Been Productive For
Many Centuries.

Groves That Have Been Productive For
Many Centuries.
The longevity Of olive trees is extraor-
binary. In Syria have been found some
remarkably ancient olive trees whose
ages are established beyond question.
A trust deed exists which relates to an
orchard covering 400 trees near Tripoli,
Syria, the trust deed having been is
sued in the year 141O.
Though the trees look aged, they still
bear fruit Of fine quality in abundance
and are likely to maintain their pro-
ductiveness for many hundreds of
years. An olive grove near Beirut
is admitted to be the third largest
olive farm in the world. Syrian fruit
farmers are extending olive culture
with much zeal and effect.
Under European systems Of culture
the Syrians make the olive tree bear
each season, while In the old days one
crop in three years was thought to, be
all that the trees could produce. The
low cropping capacity Of the trees was
due to the native method of thrashing
the fruits from the branches with
sticks. which seriously injured them.
The methods Of grinding the olive
for oil and picking the fruit are pecul-
lar. Neither the grinders nor pickers
receive wages, but. are paid on per-
centage. The pickers receive s per
cent Of the actual fruit picked, and the
grinders get 10 Der cent of the fruit

Every instructor at Chaut6uqua is

MONEY IN JUNK.
The Stuff Is Always In Demand, and

The Stuff is Always In Demand, and
tho Profits Arc Large.
Up and down the dirty back alleys
drives the junkman. singing his mourn
full, nasal cry, loading his rickety
wagon with broken scraps and pieces
of cid iron, an object Of pity or of ridi-
cule to most Of the uniformed public.
Let him be admired or envied, rather,
for If not he himself, at least his en-
ployer, is probably making more money
than nine out Of ten professional men.
Few things are more depressing and
unsightly than a little pile of junk as
high as two story building. One may
see such piles in every city, and, so far
as the casual observer can determine.
none Of the stuff is ever moved. The
piles increase apparently from month to
month and grow rustier and rustier,
but the men in the business keep on
buying.
How are they able to keep so much
money tied up? Where do they get the
large amount Of capital which seems to
be necessary?
They borrow from the banks, like
any other business man, on the secu-
rity Of their stock in trade:
mo better security" the president of
almost any bank will declare. ut can

tories can't get along without 1t. 1t

to which we lend money, and these

business are excellent customers" -

Certain restless spirits among the students thought they would give him a gentle hint. so they bought an alarm clock, set 1t to go off precise ly at noon and placed 1t on the profess or's desk when they came in to the uext lecture. They knew that he WAS a little absentminded and expected that he would not notice it As the noon hour struck the alarm went ofi with crash. and those of tue class not in the secret started and took In the joke at once.
