Tiny Republics.

Klein-Alp is diminutive republic tucked away between Switzerland and France. Only in, summer is the re- public inhabited and then by miners and cowgirls There is one hotel, closed during the winter Another little re- public is in Tyrol, between Austria and Italy, and in long gone years was under the jurisdiction of first a king and then an emperor. But in the ad- justment of frontier lines the state of Val ali Ventino was in some way oyer looked, and it promptly organized it. self into illiputian republic. It has now about 1000 inhabitants living in six villages. Neither Val di Ventino nor Klein-Alp has any taxes. There are no officials or compulsory military services. The only industry of Val di Ventino, aside from the farming of small fields, is charcoal burning.

For Tastinu Gold.

The acid used by jewellers for testing gold is extremely powerful and has to be very carefully handled. To pre- vent any considerable quantity of the acid being spilled specially construct ed bottle is employed. The stopper of this is made of glass and. contains a long pointed glass rod which passes down the center of the bottle. When an article of jewelry is to be tested the stopper is simply removed, and the article is touched with the point of the glass rod to which very slight quantity of acid has adhered. Gold is not affected by the acid, but imitation metal turns green.

But the murder test is, an improve ment upon that of theft. The "wise man" of the district draws a vessel of water, into which he puts some poison. Then he takes a cows tail and "as-- perges'' the eyes of the supposed as- sassin. If the man becomes blind he is pronounced a murderer.

 Insane English Monarchs.
 George III. is the only British mon arch who in modern times has been placed uader restraint and deprived of his authority because of insanity, though similar measures were at one time contemplated with regard to his son, George ". the monarch who has been described as "a bad son, a bad husband, bad father, bad sub- ject, bad monarch and a bad friend'' and whose conduct while on the throne was characterized by an eccentricity which bordered on lunacy.
 The insanity of George III. was real ly brought about by the dangerous illness of his youngest and favorite child Princess Amelia. The unHkeli- hood of her recovery preyed upon him and hastened the attack of mental de rangement which incapacitated him from reigning, although be had pre- ,viously suffered from this malady. He died hopelessly insane at Windsor after losing his sight as we'll as his senses.- PearsOn's

Our First Steam Warshlp.

The Fulton, which at the time of her construction in the early thkties was classed as "steam battery" was the first United States warship that was propelled by steam. She was built un- der the superintendence of Commodore Matthew Galbraith Perry and at the time of her completion in 1887 was re- garded as one of the worlds wonders by way of naval architecture and pow CT at sea. The Fulton was the cause of no little speculation on the part of European powers, for at that time she was looked upon by other nations as all but invincible. When this won der of the sea was put in commission Commodore Perry, then holding the rank of commander, was put in com mand of her, and he presently came to be called the father of the, steam navy The Fulton was built pri- marily for defense of New York har- bor, but she served as we'll to demon strate the practical utility of steam power for warships.-New York Times.

One Way to Arbitrate

Commodore Vanderbilt used often to arbitrate his tenants disputes, and one day two farmers called on him in his function of arbitrator. The commo- dore before consenting to act put to the first tenant the necessary question:
 "Now, Henry, if consent to arbi- trate will you abide by my decision?'
 The farmer, hard headed old fel- low, answered thoughtfully:
 'Well, commodore, I'd like to know what 1t is first"

The freckle faced boy who was about to be emancipated from high school thraldom was writing his grad uating essay.

silent Lawyers.

It is almost maxim nowadays that a lawyers real importance at the bar is in inverse ratio to his prominence in the papers. The truth is that law yers of great importance seldom now adays appear in court In the old days the great lawyer was the eloquent lawyer: today the great lawer is the silent one. Then bar reputations were made literally at the bar. Today they are made in the offices of the sky scrapers neighboring on Wall street. In England visit any day to the law courts will be repaid by the sight of some famous K. c. assisting the court in dramatixation of the trial chapter from "Ahce In Wonderland. But you might prowl for month within the precincts of the New York courthouse without encountering lawyer whose name would signify anything remark able to the historian of the New York bar.-American Magazine.

CATCHING COLD.
Due to Infection and Not at All to
Changes in the Weather.

Have YOU ever noticed in church
Immediately after PRAYER or a ser
mon is finished someone starts a
cough and then a whole battery OF
coughs explode The modern physi-
clan will tell you by way OF eXpla-
nation that miCrobe emanations from
the breath of the coughers find their
way into the respiratory tract OF
others, who thereupon cough too. Not
alone in church, but in theaters and
other indoor places where people
gather in large numbers, is this
coughing habit noticeable.
In an article dealing with this sub
iect Just published in the lndepend-
ent it is explained that colds are
slight infectious fevers which spread
particularly amcng the population OF
cities and which are due to conta-
gion and not at all to changes in
the weather. These may predispose
by lowering resistive vitality and by
disturbing the circulation in mucous
membranes, but it is the presence
OF an infectious germ that gives rise
to the symptoms of the cold. When
one of these bothersome affections
gets into household usually more

Toney home for a progressive Halo
