Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U.S. Gov't Report Adsovdtemx pure WHAT BECOMES OF OLD WHEELS! Onoe Traa ud Stanch Friend Mow (tarn . . tO MoOe. - Have yon ever wondered what has become of the thousands of old solid tire wheels that were in such universal use before pneumatics revolutionised things? A reporter pot the question to a dealer the other day. "A few were converted into pneu matics and cushions and are still on the streets," he said, "and some were taken by the dealers as part payment on new machines, and are still stowed away in their shops, there boing no sale for solid tires. The secondhand dealers and re pairers bought a great many of them up, dissected them, so to speak, and are now utilizing the parts in repair work. The balls, hubs, spokes, axles, bolts and nuts are all useful, and at the last the old frames and rims can be broken up and sold as scrap iron. ' 'Some have gone to the country, and Josh Hayseed may be seen complacently pedaling down to the mill for a bag of corn. Machinists use them for making models, occasionally a pushcart will be seen mounted on two rusty old wheels, and even the boys on the street take the small wheels for the making of express wagons. And the balance, I suppose, you'll find stowed away in the cellars and wood sheds of their possessors. Once true and staucb friends, they are now of no use in the world. Abandoned to cob webs and ashes, with no company but rats and mice, tbey dream away their few remaining days. Once again tbey stand in fall suit of glittering nickel, admired, caressed and praised by all be ' holders. Again they are on the road, . bearing their masters in safety down long rongh hills and through sand and mud. Once again tbey see the smooth, hard track respond to the efforts of the riders as they throw every ounce of ef fort into the last sprint, and hear the shouts of the excited crowds as they wbia across the tape. Abandoned and alone, eating ont their hearts with rust, they gradually drop to pieces, too prond of their vanished prestige to give one thought of envy to the modern pneu matic." Washington Star. AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE. A Burglar Conferred a Favor by Opening a Safe. . .. The proprietor of a large store on Hich street went to his dace of busi ness at an unusually early hour the oth er morning. In fact, the sun had not yet risen when he turned the key in the door. On entering he was surprised to find a man trying to open the door of his safe. Be stood and watched him for some time, apparently deeply interested in the proceedings, when finally the burglar swung open the door of the safe with a delighted chuckle, but happening to tnrn be saw that he was discovered and became very much alarmed, fie jumped up and was about to make his escape through a back window when the mer chant called to him : "Don't be in a hurry, my friend. Come back' and sit down awhile and smoke a cigar while I straighten things up a bit, and then come home to break fast with ma You have done me a great favor." "Why, how's that?" asked the bur glar in great surprise.

Ex-President Harrison's paper in The Ladies' Home Journal of "This Coun try of Ours" series treats comprehen sively of the constitution and its appli cation and operation, defining the in strument, its scope aud limitations dearly. "The word 'constitution, ' " he writes, "as used among us implies a written instrument, but in England it is used to describe a governmental sys tem or organisation made up of charters as the Magna Cbarta the general acts of parliament and a body of long established legal usages or customs. These are not compiled in any single in strument as with us, but are to be sought in many places. "The common American usage in making a state constitution is to elect by a popular vote delegates to a conven tion, whose duty it is to prepare a plan of government. When the delegates have agreed and have properly certified the instrument, it is submitted to a di rect vote of the people, and each voter casts a ballot 'For the constitution' or 'Against the constitution.' If a majority vote for the constitution, it then be comes the paramount law of the state. The legislature does not make the con stitution; the constitution makes the legislature. The American idea is that constitutions proceed from the people in the exercise of their natural right of self government and can only be amended or superseded by the people. Whatever one legislature or congress enacts the next one may repeal, but neither can re peal or infringe a constitutional provi sion. "The delegates to theconvention that framed the constitution of the United States were not, however, chosen by a popular vote in the states, bnt by the legislatures. Nor was the question of the adoption of the constitution submit ted in the states to a direct popular vote. There have been IS amend ments to the constitution adopted. Ten of these were proposed to the legisla tures of the states by the First congress and ratified. The other five amendments have in like manner been submitted by congress to the state legislatures for rat ification, conventions in the states not having been used in any case. It will be noticed also- that the vote . upon the adoption of the constitution and upon amendments thereto is by states, each state, withont regard to its 'population, having one vote. Bnt while these provi sions make the popular control less di rect than is usual in the states and neo essarily recognize the states in the proc ess of making and amending the consti tution, the idea that constitutions pro ceed from the people is not lost. " . A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE. Listening on the In Floe to th Boar of the Coming- Storm. When the swell is heavy in the ice paok, it is often very difficult to ascer tain from which direction it comes, and just as difficult as it is, just so impor tant may it be that it should be found out rightly, as the safety of the ship might wholly depend upon correct judg ment as to this. When the huge ice masses begin to move and screw and press on the sides of the vessel, rising and falling in a heavy swell, then there is only one escape namely, to work the vessel into the fields away from the side from which the gale blows. A mistake as to the direction of the running swell has often proved fatalj and the mistake is easily maae. An old arctic sealer told me how in hours of dread in the arctic icepack he had laid his ear down to the ice floe and listened to the roar of the coming swell that terrible message from the furious gale and how be thus had discovered whence the gale was pressing and had been able to save the ship from destruc tion. I tried his method and found that it worked admirably. What is well worth noticing is that open water nearly always is to be found in the ice pack on one side of icebergs. The icebergs that we met were generally in motion, car ried onward by the ruling current. Of ten they ran forward in the icefields at a speed of several knots, piling up the hnge floes before their cold, glittering bows, but behind them they left an open sheet of water large enough for any ship. Now, there would of conrse be many dangers for a vessel tngged along in the ice pack by such a floating monster, but I believe nevertheless that this method might be instrumental in saving a ves sel from being crushed when the icefield is moving heavily.

THE BOLDGAME OF BLUFF HE PLAYED ON THE CONDUCTOR. Be Wna Hot a Gambler or a Drummer, bnt a Bank Clerk According to tha Man Who Tell the Story, He Out-lit to He an Actor Oh, It Was Wicked I He sat in a hotel smoking room. The sir was blue, but rueu were hjtppy happy and reminiscent He stretched ont his legs, thrust Sis hands deep iuto his pockets, and between the puffs spun this yam : "For dead cold, icy nerve I had al ways thought we traveling men took the cake. But the prettiest game of bluff I ever saw was put up by a man who was neither a drummer nor a reporter, but merely an overworked bank olerk who had applied for a leave of abseuce aud gone south to recuperate. He had drawn a certain sum for the trip aud resolved not to exceed it Foolishly he had ueg leoted to buy an excursion ticket, argu ing that he might want to return by a different route. Aud then, as a mutter of course, be found that he had spent his money not wisely but too well, so that he was hundreds of mileB from home, ticketle8s aud friendless and well nigh penniless. His checkbook was useless, for no one knew him and he must ba identified. "All this I learned later on. My ac quaintance with him begnu on the train of one of the southern roads, when be asked me to stake him enough to see bim home. I had already been 'touched' several times that trip, so, expressing ev ery ooufldence.in his probity, I declined the honor be would do me. He tried several other passengers with a like re sult Then be gave it up, but made us all promise not to interfere with any game he tried to play. "Presently the conductor came along. The impecunious oue, his hat cocked over one eye, was peacefully sleepiug in one corner of his seat, leaning toward an open window. The conductor shook him, gently at first, so that he stirred, and his hat dropped farther over bis eye, but be did not wake. Then more roughly, saying, 'Come, sir, your ticket, pleas.' "At that the impecunious oue awoke with a big start His bat flew out of the window, aud he flew into a great rage. He swore at the conductor ai abused him up aud down, him and his fore fathers unto the third aud fourth gener ation. What did he mean by wuking him in that way? Didn't be know that rest was invaluable to an invalid? That such a sudden, rude awakening might be fatal to a weak heart? Wero his nerves of no account? Aud now he had lost his hat and would catch cold. It was out rageous. "The conductor bowed before the storm, and when it had somewhat abat ed offered to replace the hat at the first stopping place. 'And now, sir, let me see your ticket, please. "The impecunious one felt in all bis pockets, went through them all again with a bewildered air. Finally he broke out: 'Why, you idiot, you, all my tick ets, not only on this road, but straight through to Chicago, were in the lining of my hat, and yon knocked it ont of the window. I'm in a pretty pickle now. I haven't enough with me to buy a fresh set. This piece of idiocy will cost you your job. I'll report you to the company and teach yon to be more care ful how you startle a nervous man. ' "The conductor tried to soothe mm, offered to take bim through to the end of the divieion. But the impecunious one would not be appeased. Much good it would do him to be landed in some little nearby, one horse southern town hundreds of miles from nowhere. He wanted to get through to Chicago. He must get through. He had an. appoint ment there that was worth thousands of dollars. Finally the conductor, by this time badly frightened, promised to get bim tickets or passes all the way through, and the impecunious one sub sided. And to the end of that road the conductor, having replaced the dear de parted hat, maintained an humbly apol ogetic tone that would have wrung tears of blood from a stone. "And it was only a bb-ff all so well carried out that the conductor was completely taken in, and the rest of us rubbed our eyes and wondered whether the impecunious one's attempt to touch us was not, after a'l, a dream. "Later on, traveling over that same road, I told the conductor bow he had been worked. And be said he knew it. for shortly after that trip be had receiv ed a letter and a check, the former con fessing the fraud, the latter paying him the full price of the passage. And he added : 'That fellow was a genius. If he had made a fuss at first about his tick ets, I'd have been on to him in a min ute, but his tickets were forgotten. It was his nerves, his health, his heart, his hat that were of importance. And to think that he had no nerves, or health, or hat or heart Oh, it was wickfid I Bnt that man has missed his vocation.

Remarkable Treatment of a Convict by fjovernor Kb Stewart, Governor Bob Stewart, who wns the ?htf executive of Missouri once and aft arwnrd United States senator from that state, had a strange career. During his gubernatorial incumbency bowtts oue day looking through the peuitoutiary at Jefferson City when he aw among the convicts an aged man whom he recognised. On the following day he sent to the warden of the prisou orders to have that mau brought to the executive mansion. When the man appeared, the govern or, oalliug him by mime, asked him if he hadn't ouco been the mate of a Mis souri river steamboat The oouviot ad mitted that he had been, and then the following conversation eusucd, the gov ernor beginning: "IV. vnn raiiinmher at one time of having taken blaukets away from a boy who was a stowaway on tne ooa auu kicking bim ashore?" "Tim cirenmstauce doesn't recnr to me now, but doubtless I did it A steamboat mate in those days had to be considerable of a brute." "Yes, sir, aud you tilled the bill ad mirably.

Mere, sir, iuko it Now, right about Murcn out 01 mai door aud off these premises, and uover let me see your btutul old face again. " The old convict wanted away quite briskly for oue of his age. A little while ago a senator told me that one day about the close of the war, or pethaps a little later, he was walk ing down Pennsylvania avenue in Wash ington with another senator when bis companion abruptly called his attention to a rather distinguished looking mau in a gang of laborers who were cleauiug the streets, aud I think be said under police surveillance. "Do yon know who that man is?" the second senutor asked. "No." "Well, that is ex-Governor and ex Senator Bob Stewart of Missouri. He was of aconvi vial natnre.aud the conviv alities of Washington proved too much for him. " Chieago Times-Herald. European Capital. The French statistician, M. Bertil Ion, has compiled some interesting facts regarding the population of Paris aud other great capitals. Only 811 per cent of its present population was born in Paris, and this percentage has remained practically the same for the last SO years. The native population in St Pe tersburg is 83 percent; 41 iu Berlin, 45 in Vienna aud, coulrury to the gen eral opiuion, 66 in London the high est of all large cities. Of all Euro pean capitals Paris has the greatest number of foreigners, more than 181,000, exclusive of 47,000 natu ralized foreigners. Among these are 26,863 Germans, while in Berlin there are only 897 French. London has only 95,000 foreigners; St Petersburg, 33,000; Vienna, 85.000, and Berlin, 18,000. Iu Paris the number of foreign ers increased between 1833 and lol from 47,000 to 181,000. In point of numbers there are more Belgiaus (45,000) in Paris than people of any otther foreign nationality ; then come the Germans, 3,8C3; Swiss. 86,000; Italians, 21,000; English, 13,000; Lnx emboorgians, 18,000, aud Russians, 9,000. Gray's "Eleiry" or "Stone River." During Rosecraus' campaign in Ten nessee the question arose as to whether he would rather be a poet or a victor. Mr. J. R. Gilinore relates the iucideut in the Louisville Courier-Journal: On the following day I rode out with Rosecrans, General Garfield, then his chief of staff, several others officers and a squad of about 100 men to Grantlunds, the birthplace aud home of Miss Mur- free, the well kuown author, but tbeu ocenpied by General Sheridan as his headquarters. As we entered the forest inclosing the town Garfield broke out with Lowell's poem, "I do believe in freedom 'scanse," bis words being echoed back from the great spreading trees and set to the mu sic of 100 horses' beeh). He bad scarcely ended when General Rosecrans told how Zehle crpp' op, quite unbeknown. And ptked In thru the winder. While there not Hnldy all nluno '1th no one nigh to binder. "What wonld you give to have writ ten that?" he asked as be fiuished the recitation. "All the castles I ever built in the clouds," I replied. "So would I," said Rosecrans. "You know what Wolfe said before his great victory?" "'."hat he would rather have written Gray's 'Elegy' than take tjuebec. Would you have said that before Stone River?" He hesitated a moment, then answer ed, "No, for we need victories more than poems. " Peasant' superstition. Now and then, not often, ghostly ap pearances or sounds are explained to the peasant's satisfaction. Thus in the comi ty of Durham "Gabriel's hounds" were for long, long years believed to surleu and howl through the air on dark nights and to forebode death to bim who beard and saw them. But prosaic modern re search has proved them to be nothing but flocks of wild geese migrating south ward on the approach of winter, and choosing dark nights for their journeys. Similarly the ghost of Irbydale, in the Lincolnshire wolds, a goblin who terri' fled travelers at night with its heart rending cries, and who was said to be a witch who had been worried to death by dogs in a long past age, has been shown to be nothing but an owL On the other hand, no true Cornishman will ever be induced to relinquish the be lief that the spirit of King Arthur still haunts the rnins of Tintagel in the shape of a white cbongb, and assuredly the mauy English families who possess a white bird of omen, such as that which Mr. John Oxeuham saw in "West ward, Ho I" cling firmly to the tradition if not to the belief in it And so, ghosts or no ghosts, the posi tion is just the same at the end of the nineteenth century as at the end of the eighteenth all argument is against them, and if all belief is not for them a very great deal more is than people like to acknowledge.

HI Health Was Too 1'oor to I'ermlt Attention to Business A Great Suf ferer for Many Years, But Ha Ha Now Recovered. From the 8prlniel.t, Muss., Union. There isn't a gun manufacturer in the United States who does not know Jefferson M. Clouirh. and why? Be cause he has been intimately associated all his life with tha development of the two best American rifles, the Rem lngton and Winchester. For years he was superintendent of the K. Kerning ton & Sons' great factory at Won, N. Y. After leaving there ha reiusea a tempting offer of the Chinese gov ernment to go to China to superintend their government factories aud accept ed instead the superintendency of tha Winchester-Arms Co., at New Haven, at a salary of $7,600 a year. It was after this long term ol aotlve labor as a business man that he fonnd himself incapacitated for further serv ice by the embargo whloh rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position mora than two years ago, and returned to Bulohertown, Mass., where he now lives and owns tha Phelphs farm, a retired spot where he baa five hundred acres of land. Being a man of means he did not spare the cost and was treated by lead iug physicians and by baths at celebrat ed springs without receiving any bene fit worth notice. During the summer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr. Clough was confined to his house in Beluhertowu, being unable to rise from his bod withont assistance, and suffer ing continually with aoute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep. Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard of Dr. Williams Pink Fills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about the first of March, 1894, and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a bettor appetite and he began to note more ability to help himself off the bed and to be better generally. Last August (1894) he was able to go alone to his summer rent dence and farm of 163 acres on Grena dier island, among the Thousand islands, in the river St Lawrence, where from the highest land of bis farm he commands a view for thirteen miles down the river, and sixty of the Thousand islands can be seen. Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough is now and baa been for some time, able to be about the farm to direct the men employed there, and ha is thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for bim. These pills are mauufatured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60, and are never sold in bulk. They may be bad of all drug gists or direct by mail from Dr. Will liama' Medicine Company.

Instead of giving direct answers to his interrogator as he hiniBelf would insist on having a witnoss do his replies, or, rather, statements, were entirely foreign to the line of his examination. He was repeat edly cuutioued against this style of giv ing testimony, but the warnings might have been leveled at the statue in the courtroom for all the results that ac crued.
