A Boy and a Thousand Dollars.

A New York judge gave his son
$1,000. telling him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
of freshman year without dollar and
with several ugly habits. At the close
of the vacation the judge told his. son
that he had done all he could for him.
If he had wasted the money that was
to have taken him through college he
might as well leave home and make his
own way in the world. 1t was a rude
awakening for the young man. but he
knew that his father was right. And so
strong was the good influence of his
upright father that he did leave home
to go to work in downright earnest.
He went back to college, made his way
through. graduated at the head of his
class, studied law, became governor of
the state of New York. entered the
cabinet of the president Of the United
States and made a record for himself
1t was William H. Seward.

THE DANGEROUS AGES.
Times In Our Lives When Grim Death
Eyes Us EnviousIy.

Eyes Us Enviously.
There are certain ages wherein death
is very imminent, and of all these ages
the most perilous is the age Of an hour
or two. Yes, it is just after birth that
we are in most danger of death. and
the next most perilous age to this is
seventy-one years.
The age Of three is the next most
dangerous age. Almost One-fourth of
all the babies born die during the third
year.
From three on to the age of forty
FIVE life is comparatively safe, but for
ty-five. especially for women, is a try
ing time, and many are carried off.
After passing forty-ive in safety
men and women may reasonably hope
to reach seventy-one. Here again they
are in great danger-the greatest save
for the first few hours after birth.
Longevity is & hereditary quality. 1t
passes from father to son and from
mother to daughter. He who had an
octogenarian father may hope to be-
come an octogenarian himself, and she
who had an octogenarian mother may
hope to become an octOgenarian her.
self But fathers longevity does not
pass down to a daughter, nor does a
mothers pass down to a son.-New

DAMP, DARK DAYS.
And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.

Human System.
Next time it is a dark, dreary day
and you are sure that you have some
really terrible ailment don't worry.
Just cheer up and realize that there is
nothing the matter with you except
that the weather is damp, and the first
sunny day will be sure to set you right.
At least this is the opinion of DR..
Rankin, Il London physician, who has
been giving lectures on the subject of
health and happiness. He attributes
most of the ordinary woes of humanity
to the damp weather and explains his
theory scientifically.
I'm damp weather" he says, 1.-The
skin does not perform its functions
properly. Products which should be
thrown off in perspiration remain and
clog the skin. Under ordinary circum-
stances in a normal temperature the
amount of vapOr passing from the skin
reaches thirty ounces per day. In
moist air the amount passing out from
the skin is reduced to seven or eight
ounces.
las perspiration contains poisonous
properties. it is not surprising that
during damp weather these poisonous
properties which are retained in the
body lower the vitality and produce
various temporary ailments"
SO it's really comfort to know that
when we do not feel we'll in damp
weather it is no sign of constitutional
i'll health. but just the weather.-Sar
Francisco Chronicle.

EYES OF NEEDLES.
Why They Never Rust Nor Cut the
Very Finest, Softest Thread.

Millions of needles are sold daily. 1t
was not SO long ago when the thread
In the needle was cut by the sharp
edges left in the eye after manufac-
ture. The smaller the needle the sharp
er the edge and the greater the annoy
ance to users. Then. again, the eye
would rust, for a woman will dampen
the end of the thread on her tongue
in order to make a point so that the
needle may be threaded more easily.
Complaint was loud and long, and or
ders were passed down the line to pro-
duce an eye in the smallest needle that
could not cut the finest and softest
thread in the world.
This was done by inventing a new
machine in the shape of die cutters for
the making of the eyes. The points on
these minute augers are so small that
they cannot be seen with the naked
eye or detected by the most delicate
sense of touch. A microscope is nee
essary. SO it was essential to invent
new machines to manufacture the dies
and to sharpen the tiny drills.
PoliSherS and burniSherS had to be
made that would finish off every rough
edge in an instant almost because nee
dies sell a dozen or so for a few cents
When this was done the needles were
placed in a rack, through which the
eyes projected and held so tightly that
when immersed in water only the eyes
were covered. In this way the heads
OF the needles became the negative
pole of powerful battery, and in a
few moments the eyes of several mil
lion needles were gold plated and
hence rendered rust prOof.-Harper's

A Quaint Description.

You get some swift conversations
without intentional listening, says the
London Chronicle. Two alert young
women sat side by side in one of those
cOZy armchairs for two thOughtfully
provided by the Tube Railway COM
pany. Mutual interests were discussed.
What do you think of that new girl in
your ofice?" asked the one. ''Oh," re-
piled the other. she's not bad, but
well. she's the sort of girl whose sister
narries a policeman and then doesn't
live with him.

DRY EYED MADNESS.
No Actually Insane Person Has the
Power of Shedding Tears.

No Actually Insane Person Has the
Power of Shedding Tears.
One of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence of tears amid the insane. What
ever the form of madness. tears are
in the depression of melancholy or ex-
element of mania as in the utter apa-
thy of dementia.
If a patient in a lunatic asylum be
discovered in tears it will be found
that it is one beginning to recover or
an emotional outbreak in an epileptic,
who is scarcely truly insane, while ac-
tual insane persons appear to have lost
the power of weeping. 1t is only re-
turning reason which can once more
unloose the fountain of their tears.
Even when a lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she has been de-
prived of her children or the OutrageS
that have been perpetrated upon her
self her eye is never even moist. The
ready gush of tears which accompa-
MES the plant of the sane woman con-
trasts strangely with the dry eyed APP
peal of the talkative lunatic. 1t would,
indeed. seem that tears give relief to
feelings which. when pent up, lead to
madness. 1t is one of the privileges of
reason to be able to weep. Amid all
the misery of the insane they find no
relief in tears.-PearsOn' Weekly.

Birds and Insects and Vegetation.

A well known French scientist has
asserted that without birds to check
human life would vanish from this
planet in the space of nine years. But
for the vegetation the insects would
perish: but for the insects the birds
would perish, and but for the birds
vegetation would be destroyed. Ma
ture has therefore formed a delicate
balance of power which cannot be dis
turbed without bringing great loss and
unhappiness to the world. - London

NEW YORK BOXED
APPLE MARKET IS
DEMORAL|zED NOW

All of the eastern apple markets,
with the exception of New York City,
report an Improvement in apple sales
of western boxed stuff The metrop-
Oils has a disheratcning report. To-
days reports follow
New York, Feb. 27.--The apple
situation shows unmarked improve
ment with the softer weather. OPP
orators are encouraged and good
judges say that the movement is
keeping up to that OF January, which
showed the entire country selling =
10000 barrels. Greening are keep
ing splendidly. and as most of the
common storage is out of the way,
holders of we'll colored bright cold
storage fruit now feel certain of a
fair profit before the season closes.
Heavy trading between western
New York apple shippers and south
ern buyers has drawn away great
deal of fruit usually coming to this
market. Track sales of common
storage Greenings in the Rochester
district averaged S2.35 the past
week.
Experienced apple men are much
more hopeful over the outlook for
barreled fruit, but admit that western
box fruit would be hard to unload
now, even at heavy losses. The large
surplus in tsorage, they say, will not
affect the barrel market, since fully
60 per cent of the reported holdings
are held west of the Mississippi,
practically two-thirds of this being
common storage at or near the or
chards. Just what the owners of
this fruit are going to do is a prob
lem. There is no outlet for it east
of the Mississippi, and the Pacific
coast section is SO heavily plugged
that large operators see no chance
to get more than the cost of the
package, plus the freight. Eastern
storage houses are holding enough
western fruit to supply all possible
demand, but there is no great sur
plus. This condition is general
throughout the Middle West and east,
so that owners of fancy standard va
rieties in barrels are now figuring
in finishing the season without any
additional losses.
Western boxed fruit continues slow
and dull. Desirable varieties ranged
$1.50n2, while ordinary fruit sold
50cM$1. At Tuesdays auction $50
