MANS HANDS AND HIS POCKETS.

Nowadays" said Judge Willis,
''men will even stand talking to
women with their hands in their
pockets" The observation is wholly
accurate, but if it is intended as an
illustration of the impudence Of
modern men we take leave to say
there is some mistake. The truth
is hat the poor creatures do not
know what to do with their hands.
The pocket pose expresses diffidence,
not assurance; is, in fact, a compli-
ment. The embarrassment of the
man, leading him to feel all limbs
and extremities, is plainly a tribute
10 the dazzling qualities of the
woman.-London Telegraph.

WAX FROM cANDELILLA WEED
Discovery Has Created New and I'm
portant Industry for Mexico and
Texas.

The discovery BY q Mexican in.
veshgator that a vegetable wax can
be extracted from the candelilla
weed has created a new and impor-
tant industry for Mexico and Texas.
The candelilla weed is a desert
plant, which grows abundantly up
on a million acres Of semi-arid land
in northern Mexico and parts Of
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
The wax derived from it has been
tested by electrical and other con-
Germs in Germany and Austria and
pronounced first class. Its superior
hardness has caused it to be in de-
mand for the manufacture Of pho
nograph records, pharmaceutical ar
ticles, yarnishes, insulation in cleo
trical wiring, gums and candles. In
Mexico alone the annual consump-
ton of candles is enormous.
The price Of the wax in Mexico
is 5000 gold per ton. About 30 tons
of the weed are required to make
one ton Of crude wax. The cost Of
producing a ton of wax is $15 gold,
and the refuse of the weed is avail
able for fuel for the factory.

ANIMAL THAT EAT STONES.

Sir James Ross, in the course Of
travels noted a curious fact with re-
gard to the penguin, namely, the
habit of swallowing stones. In one
specimen he found ten pounds
weight of quartz, granite and trap.
Other animals, reptiles, fishes and
mammals exhibit the same strange
fancy. In a paper contributed to
the proceedings of the Bristol Nat
uralists' society, W. H. Wicks has
collected a number Of facts connect
ed with such stomach stones. The
fact noted by Mr.. Wicks that the
pebbles are usually white quartz is
interesting, but does not appear to
throw any light on the strangO
habit. -Exchange.

SEWAGE FOR FUEL.

For a considerable period the met
ropolitan water and sewerage COM
mission of Massachusetts, has fol-
lowed the practice of COMPRISING
INTO blocks the material screened out
from the sewage before it enters the
pumps and utilizing it for fuel be-
meath their boilers. They earl
learned, however, that the brickwork
was burned out very rapidly when
ever this fuel was used in connec-
ton with the externally fired boilers.
On the other hand it was found to
have no effect upon the steel plates.
As a result internally fred boilers
have been adopted.

PROBABLY I"er 0q SENATOR
Frenehmsr's De,ea.e Satire Was Con.

Compliment.

At a diplomatic reception in
Washington, Mrs. Taft, on being
cOmplimented on her exquisite
French, told a little story about s sem
ator whose French acquired in -
photographic lessons) is by no
means exquisite.
The senator, fresh from one of
his photographic recitals, pounced
upon an under-secretary Of the
French legation at a dinner.
Monsieur he said "eska-ah-
eska voo-eska 700 voo-ly ma-voO
voo-ly ma dummy"
"My dear senator" the secretary
interrupted, 'do, | beg of you, stop
speaking French. You speak it so
well-ah, so very, very well-it
makes me homesick!"

Drummond Jones, the st.
champion, defeated O.. R.
Sellers of Lexington in easy sets
turing the mornings play of the
Missouri Valley Tennis Tourna-
nent. Item.
Which inspires the following:
MEDITATION OF NUT.
Did you ever sit and listen to
a fellow singing slush
About the way he used to
carry on,
How once he was a killer? And
without a trace of blush
He dishes out a ripping bunch
of con.
OF course today he's not so
fancy, but he takes delight
Displaying to his friends some
souvenirs,
Some trophies and some clip
pings which show, to his
delight,
He once elected the loudest
cheers.
You fail to understand just
how he ever could have
been
So classy, when today his
work is punk
You jeer and josh and scorn
him and you wear a sickly
grin
When you think about his lit
tie line Of bunk.
But still he's got you bested,
for, although he's had to
fall,
He once was all the ginger
there's the rub.
He talks about the olden times
while you can't talk at all.
A has-been sure is better than
a dub.

Senator Warner is to be the
whole show when the Federal
pie is passed around in Missouri.
During the recent session of
Congress Senator Warner voted
once against Aldrich and III
times with Aldrich. Every
thing, nearly, that Aldrich
promoted Disseminated in favor
of the east and tended to hurt
the west. By being chief pie
passer our Senator may help
some of his personal friends;

been prescribed a new kind Of slim

full Of the latter to four of grape
Juice is taken after each meal. II
the taste of oil is too strong for some

Maybe President Taft did
what he thought was right when
he signed the tariff bill, just as
Governor Hadley did when he
opposed home rule. But where
both of the gentlemen went
wrong was during the campaign.
Mr.. Taft said he was for revision
downward and Mr.. Hadley pro
fessed a belief in home govern
ment for cities. Both stung a

STOCK MARKET CONG.

Tom Lawson's iewelry bills for a
year would margin a good bunch of
stocks. One of $4,000 bought him
a chronometer that he regards as
his best bargain. To behold this
watch in full action is more daz-
cling than a ~three-ring circus to a
country urchin. 1t has suns, moons,
zodiac signs, calendars and other
educational factors embroidered up
on a surface the size Of a demitassc
saucer. OF course the works are
thickly studded with rubies and dia-
monds. Its really sensational fea-
ture, however, is its alarm bell. This
gong, hidden among the springs,
rings on week days Is minutes be-
fore 10 O'Clock in the morning, the
hour when the stock exchange opens,
and Is minutes before 3 in the aft
ernoon, when it closes. But On Sat
urday it sounds a quarter Of an
hour before noon and on the Sab
bath it makes no noise at all.-New
