A Mennonite Custom.

When a young man reaches the
marriageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders OF
the church hold a meeting. They
decide if he is honest and rellaDie
to buy him a farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings. anu
then members or the congregation
raise the rest Of the funds to pay Tor
the land.
This amount the young man must
bay back with small rate OF inter
est. Thus Nv example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor 70 the
church. They know full we'll that
nothing can be lost, for the land is
always worth what it will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying
the best of all Kansas land and the
best part Of the incest little city
within the borders of that great
state?-Seneca Tribune.

A Shame to sperd the Money.

"Pianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, your
voice is too loud. Learn to shade your
tones"
And the student worked hard to
carry out instructions.
When she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but s1lll
too loud. Try again-you will get II
after a while"
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her it was still TOO
loud.
Now William, the colored butler
without whom the house would never
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual diminishing
of tone. It did seem shame to spend
the money. He would interview the
lady who occupied the room below
that Of the vocal pupil.
What does you think about dc
voice above?' he asked, pointing &c
the ceiling. Hit strikes me hitS
CROWN weakah ev'y day."

First Owners of Furs.

women who expect TO buy furs tins
winter show a lively interest IN the
Zoo animals" said a Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs we're made over for them.
The recent warnings against imlta-
ton furs have made them particular
~ curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur OF live
lynx with a cat or rabbit they VIII
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. Of course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent investigators. Very
few people except furrierS know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap WOO
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection so often
that they have become as blase as
New York show girl"

When Publicity Is Desired.

"X Y. 2, this office" was the way
the woman usually wound up the nu-
merous lost article advertisements ne
cessitated by her Observation-Disclosures
The other day she tired of anonymity
and returned in about ten minutes with
the request that her name be substi-
tuted for the initials.
Il attended to that in the first place,
madame" said the clerk.
"You did," she exclaimed. How
did you know L wanted to use my own
name?'
He pointed to the words "Metropoli-
tan opera house" in her advertisement.
Because that is where you lost your
bracelet" he said. 81 never yet met a
person who wished to keep his identi-
ty secret when advertising for any
thing lost at the opera house. People
who lose things any place else in New
York often resort to initials when ad'
vertising, but if it happened at the
opera house the more publicity they
can get the better"
