When the sales mans card came in he kept it and sent out the office boy with nickel to pay for it and break the news gently that nothing was doing. The office boy returned with another card.
 What's that for" asked the ca- pricious buyer.
 "He said you weren't getting your moneys worth" replied the boy. 'EHe sells two of these cards for a nickel.'

The Antiquity of Coal.

It is thought that the earliest reference to coal is that found in the writings of Aristotle and of Theophrastus, who lived about 239 B. c.
 There is evidence that coal was used in England as early as the year 852 According to Bishop Pl.lsey, Escomb and Bishopwearmouth were two of the earliest coal mining set dement's. Newcastle coal appears to have come into notice about the year 1884, when Henry III. granted the inhabitants charter authoriz- ing them to mine for it.
 The Chinese knew of and used coal in the thirteenth century. The earliest reference to coal in Belgium is assigned to the year 119S, when a blacksmith at Liege is said to have been the first in the kingdom to en- ploy it as fuel.
 Paris received it's first coal from Newcastle in 1920. In Scotland coal was worked as early as the twelfth century-Harper's.

thin sheet of paper. And now fine powdery scales of a substance that should be wood, but, in fact, is in- describable, fall into your hands. They crumble away into an impalp- able dust, which is carried away by the breeze before you have time to examine it. Now you have the se- cret of the ombu. The wood evapo- rates in the open air. At the same time there spring from its strange roots young shoots of the parent tree. Since it is impossible to burn the nonexistent you cannot obvious ly have recourse to the ombu to cook your luncheon. Here is an ex- ample in the vegetable world of a paradox, a tree which is utterly useless.
 ''The palo borracho, on the other hand, is extremely useful, although not without a touch of capricious- ness. Its strange trunk, strangled in collar of roots and bulging in the middle part. bristles with in numerable points. short and sharp, which prevent all undue familiarity.
 "The trunk. if tapped with cane, returns hollow sound. The tree is, in fact, empty, needing only to be cut into lengths to give man all he needs for d trough. The Indian squaw uses it to wash her linen, and the wood. exposed to the double action of air and water, becomes as hard as cement.

PASSPORTS IN FRANCE.
The Kind That Were Issued In the
 Time of Louis XVI.

The mysterious cards of the Count de Vergennes each contained brief history in cipher of those to whom they were given. De Vergennes was Louis XVI.'s minister of foreign af fairs, and when strangers of d sus picious character were about to en- ter France he issued to them these strange cards, which acted as pass ports, and were also intended to give information concerning the bearer without his knowledge.
 In the first place, its color indi- cated the nationality of the man who carried it. The persons age, approximately, was told by the shape of the card. A fllet around the border of the card told whether he was a bachelor, married or a wid- over. Dots gave information as to his position and fortune, and the expression of his face was shown by a decorative flower.
 The strangers religion was told by the punctuation after his name. If he was a Catholic it was a period, if Jew dash, fine was a Luther an a semicolon and no stop at all indicated him a nonbeliever.
 So mans morals, character and appearance were pointed out by the pattern of his passport, and the au- thorities could tell at a glance whether he was gamester or a preacher, a physician or a lawyer, and whether he was to be put under surveillance or allowed to go free.- Exchange.

 'The ombu Is the marvel of the pampas, the only tree which the To- cust refuses to touch. For this req son it has been allowed to grow freely, although not even man has found a way to utilize what the voracious insects decline. For the ombu brides itself on being good for nothing. It does not even lend it. self to making good firewood. It is only to look at. But that is suffi- cient. Imagine an object resembling the backs of antediluvian monsters, mastodons or elephants, lying in the shade of great mass of sheltering foliage. Heavy folds in the gray rind denote a growing limb, round- ed shoulder, gigantic head half concealed. These are the tremen- dous roots of the ombu, whose de- light is to issue forth from the soil in the form of astonishing objects

When a soldier is confined in the guardroom for an offense a written copy of the crime is invariably hand ed to the commander of the guard.
