Preeence of Mind.

He was . Harvard man with a gift for borrowing things and defective memory which led to his retaining them. A few days before class day a friend o< his bewailed the tortures of breaking in & pair of new russet shoes.
 My foot's smaller than yours." he suggested. kindly. Lend them to me and they'll be easy enough when give them back"
 Next day he went home. and the new shoes added iuster to his arrival iu the old town.
 Three months later he was at the Seattle exposition. The shoes had reached the stage when they were the despair of Pullman porters, and suddenly he saw their owner bearing straight down on him near the Ma. chinery building.
 He turned not hair, but walking forth to meet his justly incensed friend, exclaimed:
 "Old man, you're just the man I'm looking for These shoes of yours want new pair of laces dreadfully.' ,

LEFT MORE THAN THE ASH
Consumer Who Was Wise Found Out Some New Things About Sugar
 He Bought.

Two barrels of sugar had arrived at the home of well-known chemist, and they were standing in the kitchen when he came home for luncheon Fol lowing his custom of testing edibles before they are cooked, he submitted some of the sugar to familiar proc ess. At once strange odor filled the -com and floated through the house
 "Henry!" exclaimed his wife, lean ing over the railing on the second floor, whats the matter now?"
 Why, Martha?"
 Something seems to be burning downstairs. Is anything on fire?"
 "Oh, I'm only testing the sugar You see a simple way to find out If 1t is pure is to burn it. Pure sugar will be entirely consumed. but if the product has been adulterated an ash will remain"
 This aroused the wife's curiosity What happened to our sugar when you set it on re?" she inquired.
 Tt not only left an ash. but also charred coal. Some grated white rubber may have got into the barrels by mistake"

Calvin a Man Of the World.

Calvin had many advantages. He was not scholar merely, he was man of the world. He had travelled was familiar with the life of courts, was on terms of intimate friendship with many of the most distinguished persons of his day. He had com manding intellect, literary style which was the envy and admiration of the learned. He knew law as well as he did theology. French as well as he did Latin. His grasp of a wide range of subjects and his attention tc detail were things to marvel at Add to these an inexhaustible patience and a bulldog tenacity of purpose, a vivid human interest and an amazing ca pacity for work, and we begin to un- derstand how it was that this penni- less and sickly foreigner, who came to Geneva in the first instance SO utter. ly unknown and without prestige as to figure in the records merely as "a Frenchman," ended by setting his stamp so ineffacably upon the place that 1t remains there even to our own dAy.-Century.

Totems.

Among the savage and barbarian tribes, especially the North American Indians, a totem is the symbol of a family or clan, and is usually some animal or natural object. It serves as a sort of surname for the family. Its importance lies in the idea that indi- viduals trace their lineage from it. The turtle. bear and wolf are favored and honored totems among many tribes. The obligations growing out of a common totem are scrupulously regarded. Intermarriage among those having 1t is criminal. All such. of whatever clan or tribe, friendly or hostile. have rights of hospitality. or succor in distress and of friendship as blood relations. The totem is never changed.

Mountain Rose and Champion are
chiefly the varieties. Every year. if
one will take notice, has its special
feature, as it relates to the culture and
marketing of the peach crop, if happily
there should be one, for the peach is
marked down as the most crooked
thing ever mortal man attempted to
produce from the soil and has for
years in the past bafiled his skill
almost beyond endurance. Never have
there been so many old peach grow
ers ready to declare 81 am done with
the peach forever" as there are to-day
While on the siding taking note Of
those who are delivering peaches it
might be interesting also for us to
note those who formerly rolled them
I'm by wagon loads now found out Of
the ranks. Luscious indeed is the fruit.
yet because expensive and unmanage-
able is its culture being abandoned in
this locality. Former Representative
Gamaliel Garrison, toward Kenton. is
thought to have the largest crop, prob

disease. whatever it is. could readily
have been communicated from the
birds to the child.
The little girl was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Adams The trouble
was first diagnosed as infantile
paralysis, but the speed with which
It developed caused the physicians to
abandon this theory. Within twenty
one hours after the disease manifest
ed itself the child was dead.
Adams was impressed by the resem.
blance of symptoms to those of the
disease which killed the pigeons, ant
be spoke of II to the physicians. H,
told them he lost pigeon after pigeoI
from an ailment which puzzled hin
and the same disease seemed to attacl
the child. The pigeons would mop,
and tremble on their perches for abou
twenty-four hours and then tumbl,
off dead. The opinion is offered thai
