washing powders. / suppose they're
made OF banks and leaves and buds
and things, and Tn. tired of things
made of barks and leaves and buds
Only few months ago | was visiting
my married daughter, who is pestered
by agents almost as much as I am.
We couldn't have a comfortable talk
because of the agents; no sooner
would we sit down than thared be
rap at the door, and my daughter
would have to listen to some long
winded agent who wanted to sell
powder to put in her shoes, or a com
bined rat trap and flour sitter or
glove stretcher that might be used as
a bootjack.
Zone day there came an old man
with a long white beard, and he lean
ed on a cane, and said if he couldn't
sell some of his washing powder he'd
have to go to the poorhouse, and he
wept like everything, and made such
an uproar that my daughter bought
six packages, and l. who was old
enough to know better. bought six
more. Then he went away. and when
he got down to the gate we saw him
take off his long white beard and he
was just a young man, and my daugh-
ter and I ran after him, calling for
the police, but, of course. there were
no police-there never are when you
need them-and the man got away,
and he'll come to a bad end yet, you
mark my words.
so my daughter and | walked back
to the house. and we heard her little
girl screaming as If the place was on

It'll just be a waste of time to try
to sell me any furniture polish" said
Mrs. Curfew. emphatically. I'VE used
to have piano, and an agent came
and sold me bottle of furniture poll

just as though it made any differ

and the bottle only holding a spoon

Il put that furniture polish on the
clock shelf along with some other
bottles. My husband has rheumatism
in his legs whenever the wind is in
the southeast, and so he got up in the
middle of thu night grooming horrl-
bly, and hunted for his bottle of lini-
ment, and, of course, he got that fur
niture polish by mistake and rubbed
it all over his legs, and it dried on. and
he had the awfullest time getting it
off. He said he felt as though he had
been tarred and feathered. His one
ambition in this life is to get a fair
shot at that agent.
so you see it's useless wasting
your time trying to sell me furniture
polish. 1t might be different if we
had piano, but we haven't had one
since my younger daughter left home.
She teaches school in the country

A RELIGIOUS Movement.

Buddhism" says a Berlin paper, lis
rapidly spreading in Europe. The
number of converts is daily increasing,
especially in Germany, England and
Hungary
The influence of the higher religious
trcught of the Orient was bound in
these days of rapid travel and aroused
intellectual curiosity. to make itself
felt. and one of the signs of the times
is the growing sale of small popular
epitomes of various phases of eastern
religious and philosophic thought, and
also translations of the great religious
poems of the Orient.
On this continent Vedantism, Theos-
ophy and esoteric Buddhism have be-
come fairly well known, and the work
of the new teachers is not seldom on
broad humanitarian lines: especially
may be cited the educational work
carried on at Point Iona in southern
California and in Cuba by the Univer-
sal Brotherhood and Theosophical so
ciety, in which are enlisted men OF
wealth and high business capacity I'M

Dynamite and RevoIvers.

1t would seem that the time ought
to be at hand for some progressive
state legislature to place effectual re-
strictfons about the sale and carrying
of revolvers. When that is done SIM
liar barriers should be put up against
the free sale of dynamite.
At present it is as easy to buy dyna-
mite, in most states, as sugar. No
marks are placed on the cartridges to
indicate who the seller and the pur-
chaser are. No record is kept of the
sales and no effort is made to ascer-
tain the use for which it is intended
Consequently when some miscreant
uses this mighty explosive as cow
ardly means of obtaining revenge it is
difficult to ferret him out.
England is much more advanced in
such things than this country. In
London no one is permitted to carry a
revolver without the consent of Scot
land Yard. A permit is given and the
name of the person holding it adver-
tised for a time in the newspapers.
The check is applied through the deal
ers who are under strict regulation
and can be watched easily. In Eng
land. also, the same precautions are
taken as to the sale of dynamite that
are enforced regarding the sale of
drugs.-CleVelandL Leader.
