A Bed for Seventeen.

Probably there is no bed capable OF
holding so many as seventeen in this
country. But such bed is to be found
in the Mount Tet hut 10000 feet
above the seal one of the Swiss noun
tain cabins belonging to the Alpine
club. The bed is really constructed
to hold only fourteen, but the day ON
which party visited the hut was so
exceptionally clear, and the condition S
for climbing were so favorable, that
twenty-one members and friends, bd.
sides the guides accompanying them
turned up at the cabin to stay thd
night. The guides took possessiont of
the kitchen and the twenty-one sorted
themselves out as follows-seventeen
slept" on the bed. three on the floor,
and the remaining one in Q. chair.

Japanese.

The brightest, best tempered and
most polite people in the world are
the Japanese. They absolutely do
not know what It is to quarrel, and it
is said that If you throw stone at
dog or cat in japan, the animal
stands and stares at you in amaze
ment-it actually doesn't know what
cruelty means. The Japs are jolly
people and fond of joke, and they
are generous and trustful to a marked
degree They also have a strong sense
of pride, and travellers relate a pecu-
liar instance of this trait. II trav-
eler is annoyed by being followed by
a crowd-which, however, is always
quiet and respectful-he can cause 1t
to melt away like snowfakes on hot
stove by simply halting and holding
out a coin. The Japs feel hurt at
being taken for mendicants. Fancy
what the result would be If traveller
adopted this expedient in the fee-tak-
ing cities of Europe. He would be al
most torn to pieces by the crowd try
ing to get the coin.

SAVING Mineral Waste.

Up till quite recent times the loss
of tin at the Welsh mines has been
nearly ten per cent of the total amount
of the metal mined Now, by the use
of electrical apparatus. the loss has
been lowered to one per cent. This is
fair sample of the reform now go
ing on in all mining operations. Ores
once thrown away a~e now used, and
old dumps are being worked at a
profit sometimes not much less than
was made by the original owners or
the mine. The silver mines of At
tica were worked by slave labor'more
than twenty-five centuries ago and
were thought exhausted but in recent
times the ancient waste has been run
through modern processes and made
to pay.

Buffalo Cross Roads.

Buffalo Cross Roads, a village four
and half miles from Lewisburg,
Union county, Pennsylvania, is so
named. according to historians, be-
cause the last buffalo killed in the
great Buffalo valley of Union county,
was shot near the place. The skull of
this beast, large bull, was hung on
pole at point where public high
ways crossed, hence the name. This
buffalo was killed, it is asserted, in
the early part of 1900. This village
of Buffalo Cross Roads was the home
of a tanner by the name of Chamber
lain, who is said to have been the
first person in the United States to
start the canning of fruit for CONNER
mercial purposes. Mr. Chamberlain
began his fruit preserving as an ex-
pertinent for his own use. The prod
ucts were pleasing to the taste. and
he made shipments of goods to New
York city, where a demand soon arose
for all the surplus fruits he was able
to supply.

DAYTONA BEACH OFFICERS
WATCHING FOR SPEEDERs

A great deal of complaint has
reached the ears of the Daytona
Beach authorities about autos going
at top speed along the south part of
Peninsula drive between First and
Silver Beach avenues. This piece of
road is quite broad and in good con-
dition and the temptation invariably
comes to the motorist to open the
throttle farther than the law allows
on this stretch.
The lower part of Peninsula drive
is generally known to be free from
officers of the law, but in the future
will be more carefully guarded than
any other thoroughfare in Daytona
Beach. Too many complaints have
been received from residents in that
section for fast driving to be further
countenanced, and for that reason au-
thorities will be on the watch for
cars moving over too much ground
per minute.

History Of the POSTAGE Stamp.

The postage stamp came into use in
the United States in 1S47, seven years
after Great Britain had adopted it.
Five and ten-cent stamps were the first
American postage stamps. and they
carried the heads of Franklin and
and Washington. Four years later the
letter rate was lowered to three cents,
and in 1888 to two cents. Before the
postage stamp was adopted, the post
al charges were more moderate in
the United States than in England.
Our rates were six cents for 80 miles
or less; 121e cents up to 100 miles;
1S& cents up to 400 miles, and 20
cents for every distance over that.
Hill, the discoverer of postage stamps,
was knighted and received gift OF
$4,000. raised by public subscription.

storms Puzzle Astronomers.

The source of magnetic storms in
some measure is yet problematic, not
withstanding long years OF observation
by the most devoted astronomers. One
theory is that positive electricity is
generated from tropical water surfaces
and that the waves are swept north to
the magnetic poles, there to meet neg
alive streams which produce these
phenomena. 1t has been demonstrated
that this luminous magnetic matter
can only manifest itself in very rare
atmospheres, and similar phenomena
have really been produced in glass
vessels from which the air has been
practically exhausted.

Well to Know When to Stop.

The fellow who talks too much is
usually little off balance. 1t may
be that he has nothing particular to
say and so keeps talking. He makes
up in words what he lacks in ideas.
If you want to be good talker you
must have thoughts. The more broad
and varied your knowledge the better
you are qualified to talk. The more
you have in your head the less you are
likely to parade with your tongue.
Make yourself factor in your sphere
and folks will want you to talk. Be
come an authority and folks will pay
you to talk. Monopolize conversation
with mere words and you become a
joke. Learn to be talker but shun
talkativeness.
