What has become of the” old-fash- ioned man who could tell the time of day by looking at the sun? The first thing to do in cleaning house is to find out which of your neighbors borrowed your step-ladder last. You will have sufficient fame if you ever become as important as a militiaman looks when he gets into a new uniform. Most of us when we ride a free horse start out on a walk, quicken into a brisk trot, then break intoa wild gallop and are thrown. A mother is nearly asclever in framing excuses for her shortcom- ings as she compels her husband to be in making excuses for his. When we were 2 boy we thought that if we could have all the dough- nuts we wanted we would be happy. Now we don’t like doughnuts. A mean man suggests that women probably gained their reputation for patience because they live thru the interin between installments of continued stories in the magazines. FUNERAL OF MANSFIELD, Body of Deceased Actor Interred Near Summer Home. New London, Conn., Sept. |.—All thet was mortal of Richard Mansfield bhas been lowered Into a grave W the Mttle Gardner cemetery within a few rods of Seven Oaks, his summer home. The ceremony was simple but impres- sive and was attended by many friends and acquaintances of the late actor. By request of the family the services at the house were simple. There was no eulogy or address. After this ceremony those present formed In procession and proceeded to the plot selected for the burial, al- most diagomally across the street. The committal of the body to the grave was a solemn moment. With bowed heads the mourners listened to the impressive words of the Episcopal churob ritual. It had been announced that those who knew Mr. Mansfield in life were waloome to attend, but those who had nothing but curfosity to call them to the services were not desired. Hence the attendance v4P; representative of the friendeship and esteem in which the actor was held. . OCEAN RATE WAR SERIOUS Cunard Line Meets Reductions of Its Competitors. Liverpool, Sept. )—The Cunard Moe has fesued an officlal statement to the effect that it will be obliged to follow the example of its competitors end reduce it eastward Atlantic faves, This action had been expected, as otherwise, with all the lines run- ning from the Continent to Channel ports accepting lower rates, much of the Liverpool trafic might have been Qiverted. The situation is regarded as serl- ous. The most interesting question is will the Cunard line's competitors mpke further reductions. There is litthe doubt that while the rate cut- ting at present is limited to the Amer- Soan eastward trafiic eventually it will affect the Canadlan trade. The Amer- foan lines have been fostering Cana- dlan trafic via New York and Boston and it appears that the Canadlan lines will be obliged to reduce their rates or else lose business to the American steamers. GREAT YEAR FOR FARMERS Rarnings Estimated at One Blllion Dollars Over 1806, New York, Sept. 1.—The American faymers’ earnings are $1,000,000,000 ., @veater this year than last, according to a preliminary report on orops which will be published in the next issue of the American Agriculturist. This big gain will be entirely due to the in- oreased prices of farm products, as the production in general will be fully 10._per cent less in quantity than in 1906, whioh was the bumper year. “The farmer was never In 0 healthy & position as he s today—financlally, sooially, politically, mentally and spiritually,” says the report. “The increase in the value of his real estate has been prodigious. Heo owes less money than ever before. He has greater assets than ever. Again, the farmer’s wants are greater. He is In the market for more and better breed- {ag stock, farm implements, household 800ds and other merchandise.” = —- Moorish Cavalry Routed. Paris, Sept. ' .—Vice Admiral Phill- bert, commander of the French naval foroes oft: the Morocean coast, cabling from Caes Blanca, reported that the allfes on Sunday routed a large force . of Moorish cavalry seven miles south of the eity. The admiral did not give ‘any detalls of the engagement. Patriolde Attempts Sulolde. Somerville, N. J., Sept. i.—Hearing “that his father, John C. Stryker, a . Wealthy farmer, had died as the result of his attack upon him Richard Stry- kev. Iis mon. thirty-five years old. tried to commit sulcide In the jafi here.

Mrs. Flaherty, who earns her living and maintains two clean little rooms in an uptown tenement by going out to do washing and day’s work, has been a widow for many years, and en- tertains a strong prejudice against marriage for any but the young. **’Tis all right at that time o' life,” she maintains, “but not for old people with gray hairs. Then ’tis onsuitable and the height o' foolishness.” Holding these oplnlons as she does, It was a severe shock to Mrs. Flaherty to learn that one of her best customers, a widow of threescore and ten, was about to be married for the second tlme. Almost tearfully she confided her sentiments to another patron. “Think of it! Her a-fixin’ all them fine clothes and takin’ as much pride in it as if she was to be a bride of twenty instead of an old woman that'll never see seventy again! Why,” and her volce dropped to an awed whis- per, “at her time o' life T believe ’tis the ravin’ o’ death is on the woman!” —New York Times. A Scotch Excuse. A canny Scot was brought before a magistrate on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. “What have you to say for yourself, sir?’ demanded the magistrate. “You look like a re- spectable man and ought to be asham- ed to stand there.” “I am verra sorry, sir, but I cam’ up in bad company fra Glascow,” humbly replied the prisoner. “What sort of company?”’ “A Iqt of teetotalers!” was the star- tling response. “Do you mean to say teetotalers are bad company?’ thundered the magis- trate. “I think they are the best of company for such as you.” “Beggin’ yer pardon, sir,” answered the prisoner, “ye’re wrong; for I had a bottle of whusky an’ I had to drink it all myself!”—Reynolds’ Newspaper. Strong Soup. In the life of Willlam Stokes, writ- ten by his son, It is told how Stokes was sent over to Dublin during the great famine to show the people how to make soup. Stokes asked a starving beggar why she did not go and get some of the soup that was belng freely distributed. “Soup, Is it, your honor? Sure, it isn't soup at all” “And what s it, then?’ inquired Stokes. “It is nothin’, your honor, but a quart of water bolled down to a pint to make it sthrong!” This is the soup malgre which Ho- garth carlcatured In his picture of the French troops at Calals. — London Standard. Mixed Liquors Barred. Rory MacSnory was the village blacksmith and one of the most pow- erful singers In the cholr of the kirk at Auchleucheries. To show off his volce to full advantage he would vary his style from bass to alto and from alto to treble In the same hymn. The minister had long observed that Rory’s methods were upsetting the gen- eral melody of the congregation’s sing- Ing, and at length he resolved to bring the culprit to book. “Hymn 34,” he announced, “and a’ thegither. And, Mr. MacSnory, If ye're tae sing tenor, sing tenor, or if ye're tae sing bass, sing bass, but we’ll hae nae malr o' yer shandygaff!”—Dundee Advertiser. The Reason. All sorts and condltions of men have excellent reasons for their position in life. Illustrated Bits tells of a tramp ‘who had no fllusions about the cause of his own condition: Mrs. Finehealth (at hotel entrance)— No. I have no money to spare for you. I do not see why an ablebodied man like you should go about begging. Lazy Tramp—I s'pose, mum, it's fer about the same reason that a healthy ‘woman like you boards at a hotel, in- stead of keeping house. _ A Rebuff. “Do you think your father would lke me as a son-in-law?” “Yes.

The question was as to the ownership of several head of cattle which the de- fendant was accused of having stolen "from the plaintiff. As the case pro- ceeded and Ulfferent witnesses gave their evidence, it became apparent to all listeners that the defendant was an innocent man. When it came time for the jury to retire to consider their verdict, they did so, but returned to the courtroom In a few moments. The foreman looked the judge straight in the eye and said with a drawl and twang which betrayed his New Eng- land origin: “Jedge, we find the plaintiff guilty.” “The court is not trying the plain- tiff, but the defendant,” sald his honor hastily, and the matter belng explain- ed, the foreman was at length induced to express the jury’s opinion that the defendant: was not gullty. ‘“Howsomever,” added the foreman solemnly, “’pears to me we're con- sidering the wrong man, your honor!” Holy Land a World Center. It used to be a fancy that the Holy Land was the center of the world. In a sense not then meant it was indeed central. It occupled a strategle posi- tion. Three continents converge here— all the continents known as the an- clents—Asia, Africa and Burope. Con- tiguous to Palestine on the south lies Egypt and on the north Syria. Or, tak- ing a wider view, on one side of it were India, Persia, Assyria and Baby- lonia, while on the other side of it were Egypt, Greece and Rome. A babe among giants the land of Jesus way in- deed little among the geographical tribes; but, like a babe, it was mon- arch of the household of lands. From Its central vantage tiny Pales- tine saw through the march of centu- ries the procession of these mighty em- pires—Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo- Persian, Greek and Roman, being it- self during much of the time a center of influence and determining force that have helped form the character and history of the civilized world.—Ex- change. A Clash of Prayers. Maggle, with her fair face and blond hair, and Nina, with dusky skin and kinky wool, had played together at mud pies and had swung on the same gate ever since they could remember, for Nina’s mammy was Maggie’s nurse, says the Housekeeper. They were now seven years old. Maggle loved Nina in spite of her color, yet she had a feeling that her friend deserved to be ‘white, so she added to her prayer each night: “Please, God, make Nina white.” As the weeks went by and Nina re- mained unchanged Maggie felt that her petition needed re-enforcement, so she confided in Nina, begging her to pray for the greatly desired bleaching. But Nina in surprise looked at Maggie with wide open eyes and exclaimed: “Me? No, sir-ee. Fo' de Lawd, Maggie, I doan wanter to be no white child, an’ I's jes’ prayin’ with all my might fer you to come black!” The Intelligent Bird. Two negroes in Washington were overheard discussing the intelligence of birds in general. “Birds Is shore sensible,” observed one darky to the other. “Yo’ kin learn them anything. I uster work for a lady that had one in a clock, an’ when it was time to tell de time it uster come out an’ say cuckoo jest as many times as de time was!” “Yo’' doan’ say so?’ asked the other negro incredulously. “Shore thing!” responded the first darky. “But de mos’ wonderful part was dat it was only & wooden bird too!”"—Harper’s Weekly. The Builders. “The Egyptians were the builders,” sald a contractor enviously. “No won- der their monuments will endure for- ever. Labor was nothing to them. As you would spend a cent on a newspa- per so would an Egyptlan king put 10,000 men to work upon a temple. Labor, you see, cost nothing. A strik- ing example of the Egyptian prodigal- ity of labor lles In this fact: No less than 2,000 men were employed for three years in carrying a single stone, a stone of unexampled size, from Hie- phantine to Sais.” Unlucky at Bridge. “Do you belleve in this thirteen su- perstition?” asked Tete de Veau. “I do,” replied L’Oignon. “I could never understand why I was so un- lucky at bridge till I discovered that I ‘was always dealt a hand of just thir- teen.”—Exchange. A Little Mixed. A Hindoo barrister thus excused an absent client whom sickness had pre- vented from coming to court: “The man has fallen unwell, your honor, and he has sent a man here to say that he is lying and cannot come.” A Theory. Tommie—Pa, how do storms git out? Tompkins—Get out? What are you drlving at—out of what? Tommie— W'y, the weather bureau, o’ course. I didn’t know but mebby the man left a frawer open. A Failure. “When she gave you the plece of eake, did you say ‘Thank you? " “Yes, ma, but it didn’t do no good.” “Didn’t do any good ?” “No; she didn’t give me another plece.” Three things too much and three too little are pernicious to man—to speak much and know little, to spend much and have little, to presume much and de worth little—Cervantes. Home Diplomacy. Jack—Hullo, Charlie! And how do you enjoy married life, eh? Hver had any differences of opinion with your wife? Charles—Yes, but I don’t let her know about them.—Reynolds’ Newspaper. Encouragement. Frances—Harry says he just wants to fall down and worship me all the time. Her Mamma—Oh, well, don't mind that, dear. After you're mar- ried he won't let it interfere with his business. Famous Lilae Tree. Chlef among the many objects of in- terest in the gardens of Haston Lodge, Dunmow, the residence of the Barl and Countess of Warwlck, Is the magnifi- cent lilac trée which occuples a' con- spicuous position on the terrace.” This tree is the finest specimen of Its kind In the United Kingdom. It has a cir- cumference of 120 feet and a helght of sixteen feet, and It has so dense a growth and blooms so profusely that when In flower it forms a huge: bou- quet of lilac blossoms. The 1llac is that commonly known as the Persian and described by the bot* anists as the Chinese, but it Is not a native of either Persia or China, but was ralsed In the Rouen botanic gar- den In 1795 by the hybridization of the true Persian lilac and the common li- lac of British gardens. It was of noble proportions: &t the. middle of the last century and produc-, ed such a magnificent display of blos- soms that In the flowerlng season Vis- count Maynard, Lady Warwick’s grandfather, used to make a speclal Journey from London to enjoy the beauty and fragrance of the flowers.— Gardener’s Magazine. Lunches In Germany. I was told at 8:30 It was time for luncheon, writes an American tin- smith working In Leipzig. On stating that I did not care to eat, he told me that it would be better if I did no work, o I sat down for half an hour and watched the others. At noon we had an hour and a half and at 4 o’clock fifteen minutes for lunch. It may be of interest to some read- ers to know what the German eats: For his first breakfast he generally has a milk roll and a cup of coffee. The second breakfast is almost always a slice of bread with lard or goose oll, a plece of sausage or cheese and a bottle of beer. For dinner he has two slices of bread as above, with a her- ring or large green pickle, cheese or sausage and another bottle of beer. For lunch another bottle of beer and a milk roll. For supper soup and po- tatoes. . This 1s the general variety of foods ‘we had for the four months I worked in that shop, and they had it day in and day out—New York World. When He Enjoyed Life. Among the tombs near the old Ar- lington mansion on the Chesapeake is the mausoleum of John Custis, the father of Martha Washington’s first husband. It bears this suggestive in- scription: Beneath this Marble Tomb lles ye Body of the Honorablo John Custls, Esq. _ Of the City of Willlamsburg and Parish of Burton Formerly of Hungars Parlsh on the East- ern Shore of Verginla and the County of Northampton the Place of his Natlvity.

Finding a Grave With an Egg. The Miau-tsze, a little known tribe in Asia,” are very superstitious about death and will not bury a man until they have first tested the ground with an egg. This operation ig very curious, While the body is being prepared for burial a number of Miau-tsze,:includ- ing the male relatives of the deceased, 80 out to the appointed spot bearing a large basket of eggs. Stooping down, one of the natives lets an egg drop softly on the ground. If it breaks it 18 considered an ill omen, and anothér spot is selected. In this way the party often wander about for hours, break- ing eggs over the ground until they finally strike a place where the shell does not crack. Java’s Fire nd. One of the greatest wonders of Java, “the fire island,” a large lake of boil- ing mud, is npearly two miles in cir- cumference, and in the center Iim- mense columns of soft, hot mud may be seen continually rising and falling, ke great black timbers thrust forth and then suddenly withdrawn by a glant’s hand. Besides the phenomena of the columns, there are two gigantic bubbles near the western edge, which fill up like huge balloons and explode on an average three times per minute.

Two Acre Farms. In Belgium a two acre holding is ‘sufficient to maintain a farmer and his family. . The typlcal two acre farm in that country contains a patch of wheat or rye and another of barley. Another fair portion grows potatoes. ‘A row of. «cabbage grows all round on the sloping sides of the ditches, with a row of on- lons just outside, leaving bare walking room between them and the grain. The shade trees round the house are pear trees. Every foot of land Is made to produce; and-the farmer-keeps pigs and chickens. Von. In- Germany *‘von”: implies nobility, and all persons who belong to the no- bility prefix “von” to their names with- out any cxception. .

A man who is knighted for some reascn, however, has the: same right to put ‘“von” before his family name as a person of ancient nobility.

When the *duke was co-operating with the Spanish army In the peninsula against Napoleon he was desirous on one oc- casion during ‘a general engagement that the general commanding the Spanish contingent should execute a certain movement on the fleld. He communicated the wish to the Span- fard personally and was somewhat taken aback to be told that the honor of the king of Spain and his army would ‘compel him to refuse the re- quest unless Wellington, as-a ‘foreign officer graciously permitted to exist and fight on Spanish sofl, should pre- sent the petition on his knees. The old duke often used to tell the story after- ‘ward, and he would say, “Now, I was extremely anxious to have the move- ment executed, and I didn’t care a ‘twopenny damn’ about getting on my knees, so down I jumped!” A Dog and His Name. “There was a dog case which ex- cited much attention in Berlin some years ago,” said a former resident of that city. “A citizen complained to the authorities against a neighbor ‘who, he sald, to annoy him, gave his pame to a mongrel cur. ‘He calls my name,’ he said, ‘and when I turn around he laughs and says he was calling his dog.’ “‘What’s ' your name? magistrate. “‘My name is Schulz.’ «‘And do you call the dog Schultz? he asked the other man. “ ‘Yes, your honor, but I'spell it with a T—Schultz’ ““Call him without the T, com- manded the magistrate, trying to look gerious. The man did so, the dog came to him and an order to change the name or be fined followed.” asked the The Water Bottle’s Shape. Three useful purposes—and probably many more than three—are served by making the familiar water bottle of such a distinctive pattern. In the first place the narrowness of the neck pre- vents the entry of much dust that would inevitably settle on the water ‘were the entire surface exposed; in the next place the same narrowness pre- vents excessive and rapld evaporation of the water, and in the third place the shape of the neck makes it a capital handle, thus doing away with the ne- cessity for a separate handle fastened to the body of the bottle, a course that would render it much less convenlent and more Hable to be broken.—Pear- «on’s. .
