Miss Matte belonged to the old

guest Of distinction.
On the morning following his arrival
she told Tillie, the little colored maid,
to take pitcher Of fresh water to
Mr.. Firmans room, and to say that
Miss Matte sent him her compliments,
and that if he wanted bath, the
bathroom was at his service. .
When Tillie returned she said:

ExaoCeratiOn

Sara Bernhard, replying to a compli.
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: THE secret of my youth? 1t

I work all the time. But l am a

thoughtfully. so how can these many
compliments be true? l am afraid my

Gus as a girls, prompted a chorus of

YES" said the actress, "uncon-
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule-
wards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although,
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug-
gested.
Her little charge, a boy of six,
begged her to stop while in a crowd,
surrounding an automobile accident.

Had Money In Lumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders. elbows,
and hips when he arrived here rom
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. In fact, there was series OF
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as 1t is present
ed on bas-relief map.
The Jumps were about the size OF
good Oregon apples. and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation. the doctor said
softly to himself, See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside
You seem like healthy man"
said the doctor, but cannot pass you
until l know the origin Of those Jumps
on your body" ''Ah, 1t Is not sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria.
Those swellings is money"
Taking off his coat he broke open
sample lump and showed that 1t con-
tanned $500 In American bank notes.
He informed the doctor that he had
1000 In all, with which he was go
ing to purchase an apple orchard In
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country

Lo. the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth Of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only a little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources Of all kinds. Some
Of the best timber land in the United
States Is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions The ranges
which they possess support about 500.-
900 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in a revenue of more than
$4,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 100000
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian
lands-Red Man.

Tho Waste Of the Wind.

Everyone who wants cheap motive
force has tried to harness the wind.
Every child has made paper propel-
Ter or windmill. But can it be said
that the possible uses Of the wind
have been as arduously investigated
as such recently discovered forces as
steam and electricity and gases? Is it
not conceivable that the practical uses
of the wind are underestimated just
because they are SO familiar?
We cannot help thinking that the
wind will be more variously employed
some day in the same way that proba-
bly, the problem of laying under con-
tribution the great physical fact Of
the tides will be solved. Zone would
think that the wind could @be used for
electric lighting, yet there is no prac-
teal apparatus for the purpose. True,
the wind is variable and occasionally
absent; but as electricity can be
stored, one might suppose that this
was the very case In which variable
ity did not particularly matter.

New Process of Stamina Glass.

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guarded
and malciously stolen SO many times
in the history Of civilization that 1t
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet a
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which is departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives It's design IN
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in a heat so intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature of this method is that the sur
face acquires peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat. so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window in many
shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sembled in a metal frame.

who have taken the train at one OF
our great industrial centers. for in

sex, we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed, engaged in loud, strident
speech, and who. after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
coed to eat apples and hand round

When the street railway companies

of course people constantly forgot. The

MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan Is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Notwithstanding to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men In small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave Of H1ra, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
run the traditions.-The Christian
