Notwithstanding the fact that his
father is president and manager of
the Kalamazoo Stove Company and
one of the few millionaires of this
city, the son has gone to raising pota-
toes, wheat and other farm products,
the money necessary for him to invest
in the farming project having been

Home Moving Pictures.

In being adapted for the home NOV
ing pictures have entered a new and
very promising stage. A simple ap-
paratus recently patented is described
as only three feet long by one foot
deep. 1t is provided with ground
glass at one end, on which a picture
Sx10 inches in size can be thrown,
but if larger view is required, the
ground glass can be removed, when
the image will be projected upon a
white sheet or other surface provided.
and will be enlarged more or less,
according to the distance from the
machine of this new screen. Any
convenient light, such as an acetylene
bicycle lamp-will serve for an illu-
mination. 1t is expected that the ap-
paratus will be made in a variety Of
styles, from a cost of dollar or two
to quite expensive outfits, and the
spools of film, lasting two to three
minutes, are to be furnished at prices
comparable to those of photograph
records. Freedom from risk of fire
is claimed, as the film is heated much
less than by the powerful lights neO-
essary for the larger machines.

BibuIous Passengers on New York
Subway Train Who Had Served

It could hardly be denied that he

where things to drink were to be

he was In a hurry. Therefore he
dashed at top speed across the plat

which was waiting.
The train was in no hurry to get
out of the station, being delayed for
some reason or other, so the man set
tied down in his seat. Suddenly he
started up again and remarked loudly:

One Trip Nearly Paid for Schooner.

Dealers at T wharf were given a
surprise when Capt Horace Hillman
of the 14-ton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 10000 pounds of
fish to buyers at the exchange. No
one believed that schooner the size
of the Benner would attempt rounding
Cape Cod at this season so deeply
loaded. But the captain had recently
purchased the vessel and thought If
he could reach Boston at a time Of
high prices he might be able to nearly
pay her purchase price.
With Eve young men belonging on
NArtha's Vineyard Capt. Hillman took
the schooner out on the ocean side Of
Nantucket and in short time filed
the craft to the matches. The venture
proved 20 successful that the crew
earned about $50 each and the Ben
nOr almost paid for hsrs9lf.-Bestoa

Junple housekeepino.

The negro housewife in the West Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit a2d vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river ahaunds with fish. On wash day all she has to do is to pick few of the berries of the soap berry tree. take her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees, the calabash cut in halses being used fo. this purpose. Calabashes are used also for bowls, basins and jugs for carrying water from She river. while the small ones make excellent cups. In the afternoon, when she is ready for her cup of tea. the negress picks half dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door, boils them. squeezes the juice from a sugar cane for sweetening and the cocoanut sup plies the milk. Thus she has q deli cious cup of tea without depending on the grocer for it. She makes the mats for her floor out of the dried leaves of the banana, plaited and sewed togeth- CT as the old country people in this country make their rag mats.

The Expense of a Wife.

wife is a decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense, however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive But everything worth having has it's price of one soX or another, and there are some thinGS which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Tbiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that it is the extravagance of their wives which causes the incon- venience."
