It is almost impossible to get an umbrella, these days, with a handle that may be held over the wrist or forefinger when the hands are engag- ed in making change or like occupa- tions. All the new umbrellas for wom. en have long slender, slippery handles ‘of polished wood, which have a way of sliding downward when the um. Brella is gripped under the arm. Even ‘when there is a tip, it 1s a tiny aty fair of metal, which offers no pro. truding surface which may be gripped by the fingers. All umbrellas now are extremely tall and, to be smart, must Jook extremely slim and dainty. As ‘only the silk ones will roll up tightly enough, Madame's umbrella is another of the dress accessories that make such inroads upon the pocketbook. England’s Vanishing Lake. The famous Dunkirk lake at North wioch (Cheshire) has vanished—for the second time within a year. In a few seconds milllons of gallons of water entered the bowels of the earth @rough & great chasm, 200 feet deep, formed by a subsidence, and left an empty where the lake had been. A big landslide in this countryside Roneycombed by subsidences due to brine-pumping, occurred about 30 years 0, and in May last the lake formed. Three months later it suddenly smptied itselt and then began slowly €0 refill. Traffo in the viclnlty of the phenomenon was at once stopped, and precautions have been taken to pre. vent further collapses of earth.—Lon M@on Mirror. Terrible War. Grooer (who has lately joined thq militta, practicing in shop)—“Righ lott, right, left, four paces to the rear march!” (Falls down trap door intq tbe oellar.) Grocer's Wife (anxiously) “Oh, Jim, are you hurt?” Grocer (sav agely, but with dignity)—"Go ‘way, woman. What do you know asbout war?“—HEverybody's. —_— Aerial Raliways Now. A German company has proposed e establishment of & telpherage, oz an aerial rallway system, between the eity of Cucuta and ths Magdalena riv er, to enable the Cucuta district to im- port and export through the Republie of Venessela and the Gult of Mase [N PROOF - 0F " 8T&HT Nature Student Comes Forward with Convincing Argument. “Darwin believed that plants could see, and I believe so, too,” said a na- ture student. “1 was reading on my veranda the other day; one foot was near a large convolvulus. The tendrils were point- ing outwards, but in a few minutes T heard them rustle faintly—they were turning towards my shoe. They began to advance towards it, moving as a very sluggish serpent might have done, and by the time I hrad finished the joke column they were within a few inches of me. I went indoors then for dinner. On my return the convolvulustendrils, disgusted, had resumed their outward march towards the rail. PL “I got a pole and set it up a foot ! from the nearest tendrils. In ten min- utes they were creeping sturdily towards the pole. To-day they are twined about it. “How could the convolvulus tendrils approach my foot and the pole, both placed in the opposite direction from the light, unless they saw? Yes, they must have sight, these plants, or - they couldn’t trot about in the silent, clever way they do.” BNAKES A GENERAL NUISANCE. Pennsylvania Farmers Seem Greatly Bothered by the Reptiles. George Burhen, who is building a new house for himself on a part of his father's farm on German Hill, went to refill a water jug the other day that had been left in the shade, when he luckily espied a huge rattler 42 inches long and carrying 12 rattles, coiled ready for a fight about the jug. George lost no time in killing the reptile and bas preserved the skin and rattles to verify his statement. Two young sons of George Copeland | went snake hunting at a den near their father's home, on Little Hickory creek, one day recently and killed an even dozen of rattlers before they gave up the battle. Henry Amburger of Hunters Station bas been missing eggs from the nest In his chicken coop, even a china egg disappearing. He suspected rats or. other small animals, but the other day when he found a dead blacksnake eight feet long nearby, with a china egg lodged in its stomach, the great mystery was solved.—Tionesta Vindl- eator. Authors Who Are Giants, Tit-Bits has recently been publishing gome facts about the stature of well- known English authors. In one of its wrticles it says: “Of past glants in literature in two senses of the term, we | have Thackeray, who was six feet three inches in height. Coming to the present time, we have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who is six feet two, Inches high, but doesn’t look it on ac- count of his stalwart build. Then there is Cutcliffe Hyne, who is six feet three inches in height, while Hesketh Prichard is even a shade taller. Keble Howard, the author of ‘The Smiths of Surbiton,' runs to 6 feet 114 inches in height, while his brother, R. S. Warres, Bell, who at once -ends and tops our Iist, 1 close upon six feet five Inches.” Use Electric Trucks. Electric trucks have been introduced by the company which controls nearly Bl the docks of the Brooklyn water front with great success. Formerly trucks run on three wheels were used, and these were drawn by horses. The. matter.of transportation by this means; was always necessarily slow, and the, action of the feet of the animals tramp- Ing constantly over the wood covering of the piers made the item of repairs A very heavy ome. The new trucks carry three times as much as the borse-drawn ones, besides reducing the ost of dock repairs to a minimum. Only One Life. fThe chief ot the fire department of Philadelphia, watching a dangerous fre in that city not long ago, was amazed by the daring of a recruit in ihe service, a young fellow plainly of Berman origin. After the new fireman had emerged from his perilous position, the chief met him with many expressions of sommendation and admiration. “Well done, Hans, my boy!” ex- slaimed he; “but I never expected to jee you alive again!” “Alife again?” repeated the German, surprised. “Vy, I hafn’t been dead ret!”"—Fxchange.

Not There to Be Missed. “Morning!’ said Mr. Busiman as he met an acquaintance traveling up to town on the late train. “Strange meeting you! You generally travel up a bit earlier than this. What's be- come of the train you used to catch?” “Oh,” replied the other, “that train's been taken off!” “Taken off, is it?” asked Mr. B, with unnecessary curios- Ity. “I suppose you miss it?” “Not as often as I used to do,” came the response.—London Answers. - Window Decorator's Art. Luther Young, who decorates the windows for the W. B. Nowell Grocery company, conceived the idea of have Ing an original window display and to carry out the idea he obtalned eight opossums after giving the window a rustic appearance by placing limba and autumn leaves in it. The win. dow attracted many people—Colums bla Tribune, HOW’S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re- ward for.any case of Cattarh that can- not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

If a man inher its money he can hire all the educa tion he'll need, and not have to pay It big wages, either.” MINNESOTA TRAVELING MAN IN BAD SHAPE. In an affidavit executed before a Notary in St. Paul a traveling man swears to th e following: Had a scrofulous ulcer about two by three inches in size on the right side of neck over the jugular vein—a dan- gerous place. Was treated by many doctors but no benefit. Allen’s Ul- cerine Salve cured the ulcer in six months. This salve is one of the oldest rem- edies in America and since 1869 it has been known as the only salve powerful enough to cure chronic ul- cers and old sores of long standing. Allen’s Ulcerine Salve acts by drawing out the poisons and healing the sore from the bottom up. It is 80 powerful that it heals new cuts and sores in one-third the time that common salves and liniments take. And it heals burns and scalds with- out a scar.
