So FiIkins Had Little Talk With the
Customs Inspector.
Filkins had just returned from a six
months tour of the continent. and his
trunks and boxes were numerous With
considerable anxious care he had pre-
pared his declara ton, but when he
saw the eagle eyed inspector plunge
into his work wave Of fear spread
over him. Could he by any POSSIBLE
ity have forgotten anything? And if
so and 1t was brought to light would
he have to suffer the pain and humil-
iation of arrest? Rapidly he ran over
In his mind the dutiable objects that
he remembered having heard that 9TH
ers bad brought in-clothing, objects
Of art. books. bric-a-brac, jewels, mu-
steal instruments-ah, his heart stood
still-musical struments-pianos, VIC.
Inns, flutes. organs
With beating heart he approached
the inspector.
rs there any duty on organs?" he
asked in trembling voice.
'There is" said the inspector, fixing
cold, steely eye upon him.

CHILDREN OF JAP.
They Don't Have to Worry About
Food, Clothes or Shelter.

In describing Jap. one of the Caro-
line islands, DIR. w. 81. Furness says
that children become more or less pub
lie property on that island as soon as
they are able to run about from house

They cannot without extraordinary
exertion fall Off the island, and, like
little guinea pigs, can find food any
where Their clothing grows by every
roadside, and any shelter or no shelter
is good enough for the night. They
cannot starve. There are no wild
beasts or snakes to harm them. What
matters 1t If they sleep under the high,
star powdered ceiling Of their foster
mothers nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their fathers thatch9
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond Of their children
On the contrary, they love them so
much that they see their own children
In all children. 1t is the ease Of life
and its surroundings which have afro

A STARTLING BILL.
Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In
Brazilian Hotel,

Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In
Brazilian Hotel.
Hotels are few and ill conducted in
the Brazilian coast towns. although
an occasional good one is met with.
Americans who patronize a Brazilian
hotel or restaurant for the first time
are generally treated to a surprise
when the bill is presented. Two
young sailors had dinner one day in
Pernambuco, and, to their horror, the
bill was 5000 refs.
They nearly tainted and would have
fed without attempting to settle; but,
there being no chance of escape, they
dubbed together all the money they
had, about S12, and humbly offered it
to the proprietor. Instead of having
them thrown into Jail, he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was $3.50
He furthermore explained that the
basis of Brazilian currency is an i'm
aginary coin called a reis, 1000 Of
which make a milreis. Everything
is counted in reis, and the figures have
very imposing sound-200 refs for
ride on street car, 100 reis for hav-
ing your boots BACKED, million refs
for house, and so on. 1t is a silly
system. but the Brazilians seem to
think it acknowledging.

Unfortunate Inventors Who Annotated
James Watt.
James Watt took out a patent on his
steam engine in 1860, but as far back
as 1543 there was a captain In Spain
who constructed a vessel of 200 tons
and propelled it at Barcelona in the
presence of the Emperor Charles "
and his court by an engine, the con-
struction of which he kept a secret.
But an old document says that in it
was monster caldron of water and
that there were two movable wheels
on the outside of the vessel. The en-
peror was satisfied with its operation.
but the treasurer of the kingdom OBJ
5ected to 1t, and so no encouragement
was given to the enterprise. The poor
inventor. whose name was Blasco de
Guerrero, wearied and disguised at the
want of patronage, took the engine out
of the vessel. and the secret of the
machine WAS buried in his grave.
The incident was almost duplicated

1t was often remarked by the rela-

was a most delightful person to whom
to confide cherished ambition or dis
play an achievement Whether Uncle
Gideon understood fully or not, he was
always ready with sympathy, admira-
ton or encouragement.
When the family received the sum-
mons to inspect young Franklin Dobbs'
invention, the mysterious work which
had occupied him for nearly a year,
Uncle Gideon was all enthusiasm. He
entered the room where the invention,
a thing Of many small wheels and
bars, was placed on a heavy table,
stepped up to his nephew and wrung
his hand.

Of, my boy" he said cordially. Look

How many old-fashioned remedies are
being used, which goes to show that it
is hard to improve some Of our grand
mothers old-time, tried remedies. For in
stance, for keeping the hair dark, soft and
glossy nothing equals our grandmothers'
sage tea" Although, by the addition of
sulphur and other ingredients, this old
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as scalp tonic and color re-
stOrer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or
gets faded or gray, instead of going TO
the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the "tea' ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.
Druggists are authorized to sell it

resented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is

Their Filmy Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.
The strength of the spider and Of the
materials it employs Is something al
most incomprehensible when the size
Of the insect and the thickness of it's
thread are taken into account. Recent
experiments have shown that a single
thread Of a web made by a spider
which weighed fifty-four milligrams
supported endwise a weight of four
grams, or seventy-four times the weight
Of the spider itself.
When, therefore, spider spins q web
to let himself down from the ceiling
or from the branch Of tree and we
see him descending without perceiv-
ing his thread at all we may be per-
fectly sure that he is not only in no
danger Of falling, but that he could
carry seventy three other spiders down
with him on his invisible rope.
Knowing this fact with ref >ence to
a single thread, we need not be sur
prised that the threads of a web, inter
woven and REINFORCED one by another.

are able to hold bees and wasps, them
selves very powerful in proportion to
their size, and to bend without break

K. B. Taylor In his "Anthropology''

upon some sound as a suitable sign or
