Her Kind OF Economy.

Persons who had heard the man de-
clare many times that unless he could
find truly economical woman he
would never marry laughed cynically
at the announcement of his engage
ment to woman who had figured in a
thirty dollar hat episode.
Surely" said his friends, you don't
consider woman who buys thirty
dollar hats truly ecOnomical?"
81 do" said the man. "Just recall
the circumstances. She was found
lying in a faint in a millinery store
anteroom with 5000 in cash and bill
for thirty dollar hat in her pocket
book. | claim that any woman who
will pay only $50 for hat when she
has 5000 in cold cash in her pocket

Dairy Products.

The cow will produce about
seven times as much human food
per unit of feed consumed as
will the steer. In fact, the corn
stalks, leaves and cobs produced
on one acre of corn, if feed to a
steer, will provide material for
about 50 per cent. edible dry
matter in the form of flesh, while
if fed to a dairy cow about $50
per cent. edible dry matter will
be produced. National economy,
then, would demand that our
hill pastures and lowland mead
ows as we'll as the coarse fod-
ders of cultivated fields be en-
ployed in the production of milk.

BANKS LOAN" MONEY.
They Don't LEND" II, Because .. Is
Business Transaction.

They Don't LEND" 1t, Because !. Is a
Business Transaction.
Why is it banking houses always
'1oan" their huge sums of money.
never by any chance LEND" them?
Lend is the true verb. while loan"
was exclusively the noun. How came
1t about that ito loan" has uniformly
supplanted Ito lend?"
The purists make a great fuss about
this. They insist that the stupid and
untaught financial world has foisted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was needed. when
the ancient and established usage was
fixed in the Specification of "to lend"
But prior to the modern development
of business enterprise when money
was lent it was bestowed upon the Dor
rover either for temporary use with
out cOmpenSa ton, as q mark of favor
or patronage. or by the professional
money lender who. taking advantage
manded usuriOus interest. This Anglo
Saxon verb today retains its ancient
cOnnOtation. When it was coined the
productive powers of money were IN
known, and the wealth of rich men
was locked up for safety and kept out
of the channels of commerce.
Nowadays, by devices of credit and
rapid INSTRUMENTATION, it Is kept
constantly working in productive en-
terprises. Immense loans are made. no
longer to relieve the necessitous and the
improvident, but to stimulate indus
try and to enable the borrower as we'll
as the loaner to reap profit in his
transactions. Money is loaned" in this
sense. 1t is not lent-New York Times.

The Autumn Girl.

The Autumn girl, all advance
information pays, will be a very
tantalizing and dangerous crea-
ture. With a Paristian boule-
ward copyright stamped all over
her, she will be the maternalized
art conception of the vampire.
The similarity will probably end
there, for the Autumn girl will
not have the disposition of the
vampire. Although she may re-
semble that creature closely so
far as physical lines 60. she will
be lovable and attractive. Here
are some of the reasons:
She will be corsetless and hip,
less. She will wear clothes of
the empire design.
Her dresses will cling to her
form.
Her face will be an alabaster
white
Her eyes will have painted
shadows to intensity and deepen
their lustre.
She will wear no puffs, rats or
excelsior filling.
Her hair will be parted in the
middle, and smoothed down until
it is the extreme of glossiness.
She will not wear high heeled
shoes and she will not Mince her
steps.
She will pencil the veins Of her
eyelids and throat, forming
dainty blue lines.
Artists say these requirements
fit in perfectly with the makeup
of the vampire. Scout women
and those who have lost their
own hair through wearing rats"
must cling to the corsets and
false hair, but they will be dis
tinctly 'out of STYLE" The new
styles will be ideal for the girl
with a figure and a good COM
pleXion and hair of her own, for
t they permit her to be almost
what nature intended her to be.

1t was not the lads, however. who
always made the mistakes. One old

BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.

sOId Hiekery's" caustie Advice to
James Buchanan.
Stories of Andrew jackson are likely
to be pointed and to have a practical
application. as do the stories told of
Franklin. In Mr.. J. w. Forney's AN
ecdotes Of Public Men" there is given
story as it was told by James
Buchanan at his own table. Although
1t contained reprOof from the presi-

1t is said to have been a favorite story

from Russia in 1884. to the court of
which country he had been sent by
Jackson in 1882. and Immediately fol
lowing his election to the senate he
called upon "Old Hickory" with fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-
sent to the head of the American ma

downstairs. he assembled to the presi-
dents private quarters. where he
kempt. in his dressing gown. with his
slippered feet on the fender. before a
blazing wood fire. smoking corncob
pipe of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object. and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr.
Buchanan desired to present.
Mr.. Buchanan was always careful of
his personal appearance and In some
respects was sort of masculine Miss
Fribbe. addicted to spotless cravats
and huge collars. rather proud of a
foot small for man of his large stat

ladies would call "a very good figure
Having just returned from a visit to
the fashionable circles of the cont
nent after years of thorough inter.
course with the etiquette of one of the
stateliest courts in Europe. he was
somewhat shocked at the idea of the
president meeting the eminent English
lady in such guise and ventured TO
ask if General Jackson did not intend
to change his attire. Thereupon the
old warrior rose. with his long pipe in
his hand. and, deliberately knocking
the ashes out of the bowl. said TO his
friend:

him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received

To Live 44o Years.

The natural term of mans life, ar
guing from the logic and evidence of
comparative zoology, is 140 years
and even this is not the limit.
Life is promissory note due one
day after date, payable on demand,
but by right living we can defer
payment almost indefinitely.
Eminent scientists tell us that
The life of the bones is 5000 years.
The life of the lungs Is 1900 years.
The life Of the skin is 900 years.
The life Of the liver is 400 years.
The life Of the kidneys is 300 years.
The life of the heart is 800 years.
If 800 years is the life Of the heart,
then one could not have the heart to
live after that.
The Hindus, in the development of
the physical man, claim for him not
only longevity, but immunity from
disease. They say to him: "He is
determined not to fall sick, and he
never does. He lives long, hun
dred years is nothing to him; he is
quite young and fresh when he is
800"
