Decimal Tabulator A help in billing and tabulating. There is no eroa charge for this convenience.

Among the strange tribes of men about whom little is known are the upper Paraguay river. Although tbe Cbamacocos wear but little clothing, they excel In the art of making personal adornments from the feathers of birds. Their country abounds with birds of the most beauti ful plumage, including parrots, tou cans and trogons. wbose feathers are dazzling in color; rheaa with gray plumes, musk ducks of a glossy black color, egrets with feathers of pure white and spoonbills of a delicate pink hue All this wealth of color and graceful plumage Is combined by the Cbamaco cos in a most artistic manner. Some of these savages walk their forest glades in colors more brilliant. If less ample, than any woman's dressmaker could produce. Washington Star.

From bis pocket he takes a large memorandum book and enters our pre scription on one of tbe final pages thereof. Then be snaps a rubber band about tbe book, sneezes and smiles happily. We observe to blm that we are glad our Instructions for a cure have made him so happy. 'It isn't that." be says. "Since I got this cold I have written down every sure cure recommended, and when ever the cold gets so bad I fee) as though I couldn't stand It another day I read over all the cures and think how much better is is to have the cold than to endure all the remedies." Judge. Spring Flows on Holidays. In a picnic ground In tbe r.ossalc vol ley there is a spring that flows only on Sundays and holidays. It used to flow always. Robert E. Horton, In the pro ceedings of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers, explains this strange performance. When tbe great silk mills prang up in the Passaic valley numer ous artesian wells were bored Into the red sandstone; pumps draw out so j much water that it now normally stands below tbe level of tbe spring outlet, but on Sundays and holidays the pumps are not working, the water rises above the level of the spring, and this flows again.
