Kleptomania is said to be the most lucrative form of insanity. Most yom.g men get a lot of rye mixed with their wild oats. 3 A locomotive engineer can make his own headlight by tanking up. Somehow cut-diamond rates are al- ways higher than the original prices. The man who wins a half-mile dash starts out afoot and comes in ahead.

Lots of people in this world would be miserable if they couldn’t find fault. If a rooster were as big as his crow 8 whole family could dine on one for two weeks. Preachers may not amount to much as carpenters, but they are usually ex- pert ipiners. Some wives are so jealous they won’t even allow their husbands to hug a delusion. Some men’s heads are so soft that a shadow from a brick wall produces a serious impression. At the moment of his birth every man has a brilliant future before him —and it usually remains there.

Rockefeller once,” said a well-known landscape gardener of this city. “One morning I was out in the grounds doing some work among the plants and flowers, | and as I worked I smoked. Pretty soon the old man strolled out that way and when he came up to where I was, said in a quiet way: ‘I never had any money to burn.’ I didn’t tumble for a second, amd he stood there looking at me. ‘I have managed to put away a few dollars,’ he continued, ‘but I never had any money to burn.’ It came'to me all at once what he meant and 1 threw the cigar away. Next morning when he came around there I wasn’t smoking. He came up with a smile on his face apd said: ‘Well, the stove isn’t going to-day.’”—Columbus (0.) State Journal. How Gold Nuggets Grow. Gold in its natural state, like many other products of the earth, is an article of development. What its original elements are is still a mat- ter of some speculation, but the fact has been demonstrated that a nug- get of the precious metal left in its original environments will gradually, though slowly attract to itself min- ute particles of gold dust and after the lapse of years possesses an added value. Gold is known to have grown on mine timbers which have long been immersed in mine water. Machine for Sealing Envelopes. An improved machine for sealing envelopes has been invented by a man in Topeka, Kas. “In operation,” says the Scientific American, “the en- velopes are fed into the machine, the flaps moistened, turned and finally pressed tightly to sealing position. The machine, it is claimed, will seal from 8,000 to 15,000 envelopes an hour of an ordinary bulk, mixed sizes, and especially adjusted will seal at about the same rate up to one-half inch in thickness.” Children’s Holiday Exchange. Berlin has a child exchange. The poorer people of the city, who cannot afford outings, send their children to gountry peasants, and receive in rg- | carn for an equal length of time peas- ant children who want to see the city. The plan has worked so well that the charitable ladies who originat- ed it are about to extend it. There is even talk of exchanging children be | tween neighboring countries, so that they would gain still more valuable | experience. Very Delicately Put. “fT eannot live without you,” he arged. “Do you know,” she returned, thoughtfully, “I am very fond of ex- periments.” “Experiments!” “Yes. So, just as an experiment, suppose you try it and see. I do not want to flatter you, bitt I have sufficient con.’ fidence in you to believe you will suc- ceed.” Thus if was demonstrated te him how delicately a thing may he put. A womian’s most elrective argument, ‘whether to cajole the heart of a father, control the humors of a hus- band, or eonsole the griefs of child- hood. Composition of Gas Manties. The composition used in gaslight per cent ceria. The foundation of the Welsbach mantles is cotton fiber, but the Lehner fabric, composed of artificial silk, made from collodion, gives a more brilliant light and a far- jJonger life, but such mantles are nat- urally more expensive. The experi- | ence of Bublman of Berlin with man- mantles is 99 per cent thoria and 1 | tles made of ramie fiber have given ‘i results. | The Best He Could Do. wah A kind-hearted clergyman was late: ly compelled to dismiss a. gardener who used to purloin his fruit and vege tables. For the sake of his wife and family he gave him a letter of recom- mendation and this is how he worded {t: “I hereby certify that A—— B—— bas been my gardener for over two years and that during that time he got more out of my garden than any man I ever employed.” Monograms on Peaches. The peaches placed on the table at @ London dinner party bore the mon- ogram of their owner traced distinct- ly in the velvety bloom. Letters had been cut from paper and pasted on the growing peaches. When the fruit was ripe on removing the paper let- ters the monograms were found Picked out in most delicate green, the rest of the fruit being rosy and deep hued. He Fears-the Worst: “The senior editor of the Saccharine (Cole.) Gazette went to Denver Tues- day,” says the junior editor. “He is probably marriéd! We do not know whether it was with ‘malice and afore- thought,’ but ‘tis done. ‘Blessed be the ties that bind.’ We know nothing of this, but had grave suspicions when Monday evening he borrowed the only white shirt this office possessed.” No Escape From Trouble. An interesting light on the subject of government ownership of railways comes from Victoria, Australia, where the 10,000 employes of the govern- ment railway, defeated in an attempt to elect legislators who would raise their pay and shorten their hours, are threatening to strike. Evidently there is no royal road to industrial peace. Family Too Noisy. A noisy family, kept by an old woman in Paris, aroused the indigna- tion of the neighbors. It consisted of twenty hens, fifty roosters, thirty pigeons, eight degs, four cats, a par- rot, a goat and a dozen small birds. The neighbors couldn't sleep, they | complained and the woman’s family was scattered by the police. His Majesty the Baby. While the little Prince Leopold of Belgium was being taken out for a drive by his nurse a company of the Civic Guard passed, and, seeing the prince, halted and presented arms. The nurse took the baby’s hand and put it to his forehead ina military salute—the first: the baby had ever made. Americans to Control Paris Gas. Anthony N. Brady of Albany and {"illiam C. Whitney of New York are at the head of a company of Amert- cans whose capital is $50,000,000, who are negotiating for the central corpor- ations supplying Paris with gas. La- ter on they will strive for the elec tric plants of the French capital. Inventor Dies in Poverty. Karl Kiesewetter, the inventor ot the Swedish safety match, died some- time ago in Romania, aged more than 90 years, in great poverty. He with- drew from the Jonképing factories forty years ago with a great deal of money, but lost it all in railroad spec- ulations. Enormous Prices for English Cattle. American cattle breeders import most of their prize stock from Eng land and sometimes enormous prices ere paid. Last week quite a number of bulls and cows were purchased for Americans and the prices paid range from $2,100 to $6,250 per head. 7 Bill Has Little Chance. The bill introduced in the Virginia house of delegates to prohibit pro- miscuous kissing will hardly become alaw. There are too many bachelors and married men, not to mention wid- owers, among the members of the leg- islature. Large Christmas Candles. Christmas candles are made of enor- mous size. The largest, known as “altar staffs,” are sometimes 6 feet long. They weigh nearly 40 Ibs. and are worth $25 apiece, being made of the purest beeswax. An Indian Superstition. Howison tells in his “Travels in Canada” how his Indian guide begged him to keep still on Christmas eve in the woods in order that they might see the deer kneel to tue Great Spirit. Receipts of New York Postoffice. When the New York postoffice was built its annual receipts were $2,892,- 637; they are now $11,670,574; in a few years they will be $20,000,000. ‘When Clergymen Could Not Marry. English clergymen were prohibited from marrying for rather more than four centuries, beginning from the reign of Ethelred. ? The Penalties of Age. A person usally begins to lose height at the age of fifty, and at the age of ninety bas lost at least 1% inches. Money in Selling Stray Dogs.

Kindred and 3rd GRAND RAPIDs, But He Won't do It Johnny’s mother had been anxious to instill into the mind of her youth- ful son the. necessity of reading at least a few verses from the Bible each day. She is anxious that her son should have a knowledge. of the Bible as we]! as other books; in fact, she thinks a reading of the great book the best means of gaining a good understanding of English and history. The little fellow has been adding a verse through the Psalms, Proverbs and those books as he ad- vances in reading. The other even- ing he was reading in a particularly deliberate style when he eame upon the passage, “Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile.” “Keep —thy—tongue—from—evil—and—thy lips—from—girls,” he drawled out. Flatiron Pincushlon. One of the latest of kitchen utensils to take its place on the dressing table is the flatiron. which has been con: verted into a thing of ornament as well as use. Its use in the bedroom is that of a pincushion, and it is stood face outward, in the poxition in which good housewives put away this kitchen bric-a-brac. Of course it is only a flatiron in shape, for it is made of | stout cardboard cut the shape of a | small flatiron face. This is padded | with cotton and covered smoothly with satin. A handle of heavy wire is added and wound with narrow ribbon, which | f@ tiled in bows where the handle joins the cushion part.—Brooklyn Eagle. Cures Diseases of Plants. By his method of feeling through the stems instead of the roots S. A. Mokrsegiai, the Ruasian entomlogist, believes that trees and plants can be cured of disease and greatly stimulat- ed in growth. His special apparatus is intended to introduce salis of iron —either solid or in solution—into apple and pear trees, and he has used it for applying chemical treatment to 800 fratt trees on the southern shore of the Crimea. The weak and dis- eased condition of the trees was remedied, while an unusual develop- ment followed. Australian Rabbits. A few years ago the rabbit was the plague and dread of tke whole pastoral class in Australia. Australians are learning now to turn the rabbit itself into a commercial asset. Twenty mil- Mons of Australian rabbit skins. were sold in London last year, while nearly 3,000,000 rabbits frozen in their furs were sent to the London market from Victoria alone. The Australian rabbit is thus supplying the tables of the United Kingdom with food and the wardrobes of the civilized world with ornaments. Hotel Savoy’s Immense Mirror. The Hotel Savoy in New York plumes itself upon the possession of the largest mirror in the world. Only two steamships of the ocean—one of them the Friesland, in which it came —have room in their holds to stow away such a large package. It is @ little more than thirteen feet square anu is nearly half an inch thick. To get this perfect plate five different glasses had to be cast. It was made at the St. Gabian glass-works in Parig Andrew vackson’s Birthplace. The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier insists that President Andrew Jackson was born on the South Caro- lina side of the line dividing that | | State from North Carolina, and that he always claimed South Carolina as his native state. Pittsburg Stee! Production. The production of steel at Pittsburg in 1901 equaled half that of England, was more than that of Germany, twice that of France, five times that of Rus- sia or Belgium, and twenty-five times | that of Spain. | Latest Fashionable Extravagance. Mrs. Gouvernevr Kortright has roused the envy of all others in the }New York “450” by importing a car- ; riage which is of absolutely new de- sign and general construction. The }eclor scheme is dark maroon, with | spokes of delicately pencilei yellow. \ Instead, however of nickel plated have, the victoria is trimmed with burnished copper and the maroon col- ‘or s~ ~cstion is mr. ‘ntained with this fashionable new metal. The clock in i the victoria is mounted in copper, and another innovation is the copper book- case, where printed guides and en gagement lists may be carefully | tucked away. Other improvements. a8 mirrors are also mounted in cop ‘ver. (G:.0. SMITH Fruits, Ice Cream, Choice Lines of Cigars Grand Rapids, - Minn.
