The Idea Tint Professional Me Have an Eny Time. "People who, work with their hands, especially farmers, are apt to think that professional men have an easy time of It," said a lawyer of this city. "It's an amusing mistake. The farmer stops ,at sundown, and the laborer works ten hours at the outside. Thp average professional man works from 12 to 14 hours day In and day out, all the year around. Often, at a pinch, he tyllj work from 19 to 20 hours for sev eral days in succession, and he will work when he Is sick or suffering se vere physical pain, something the man ual toiler wouldn't dream of. Of course be takes short Intervals of rest, like everybody else. The human engine Isn't capable of absolutely sustained endeavor for over an hour at a stretch. 'Watch a day laborer, . ho seems to be plodding along like a machine, and you'll And that he really rests more than half t' time. He looks at some well dressed doctor, lawyer, broker or man of affairs and says to himself: 'Oh, you doggoned lazy rascal! If you only had to work like me! The truth Is that the chap be envies Is putting an amount of concentration and continued energy Into his dally toll that would kill the man who works with bis bands alone in less than a week. "I don't mean this as any reflection on the laborer, who Is also no doubt doing his level . best. I simply mean that the demands on brain production are a third again as severe as the de mands on muscle production. For sheer staying qualities there Is nothing In the w;orld that equals the nervous, high strung, frail looking modern pro fessional man." New Orleans Times Democrat. JESS AND THE BEAR. Brnln Saved the Man. bnt Lost in Life In the Dnritnln. There Is a story connected with the last bear killed about here which fond grandpapas often told the children seated on their knees. It appears that the celebrated "Uncle Jess" had spent all his life as a trapper and hunter, and never a mishap had befallen lilm. But one night, in his anxiety to shake a, coon, be climbed the shell of an old tree. As he began shaking the neighbor ing limb the stump to which he was clinging gave way, and he sank feet first into the hollow center. All efforts to escape were impossible, and the pious hunter had resolved to pass the remainder of his life In prayer, when toward night his supplications were In terrupted. Looking up, he beheld the. eye of a bear looking straight down at him. Then the animal turned about and backed down the Inside of the stump. Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle Jess put up his hands In protection and grnsped the bear. Now It was the bear's turn to be frightened. He scrambled up again, while the hunter hung on for his life and was carries with safety to the top. Here the bear's real trouble began, for with so heavy a weight it was lm possible for him to turn about and back down, so he tried it head first, but that was no easy matter to the beast, and be fell with a heavy thud to the ground below and was killed, while Uncle Jess went home and told the truthful tale, to be handed down to his children. Springfield Itepubllc an. Slam's Million Priests. According tJ a lecture on Siam dellv ered recently In London by John Bart- lett, that country has more than its share of priests. The population of Siam, be said, amounted to about 6,000,000, and a curious feature was the large preponderance . of Chinese, more especially, In Bangkok. The Chi nese practically controlled all the trade and commerce of the place. There were hardly any Siamese merchants. One million of the people were In tha priesthood. He had traveled up river through the main territory of Siam for a distance of 350 miles, and during the Journey It had been absolutely Impos sible to get out of sight of a templo. In each temple there were from 10 to 800 priests, supported entirely by tho people. Of tho 1,000,000 priests only 800,000 were actively engaged. The re maining 700,000 were passing through the priesthood. Paper and String. Franklin's time honored and cumu lative adage, "For want of the nail the shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the horse was lost, for want of the horse the man was lost," should have the addendum of twine .and paper bags put to It to make It complete. Few things are more aggravating than to be ready to tie up a package and find no string, or to carry a few apples, oranges, eggs or bulbs a short distance and find no bag to noia tnem, Guinea aimnid alwavs be wound In a ball and kept ready for Immediate use Where the family may find them, and naner bugs, as soon as emptied, should " . j be folded neatly ana taiu in a arawer for use as needed.

Thlladelphla Bulletin. , The Mint Melting Pot. ! "Yes, We reclve lots of things that . we cate to see go into ine memug pot," said an old mint attache. "Folks In financial stress bring Uncle Bam all manner of heirlooms which are bought over the. counter for their nak ed weight in gold or silver bullion. Art or antiquity don't count at the mint, and a candelabra by Benvenuto Cellini himself wouldn't bring more than a lump of raw metal fresh from he smelter. We get plate of every leseription, old watch cases, rings, run Ins, snuff boxes, spectacle frames and jewelry mounts without number. "In this section ot the south there are several speculators who make a business of traveling through the rural districts and buying up all the old gold and silver they can find. They are ex perts In Judging of the fineness of metal, and they pay as little as they can, so there must be a big profit In the trade. As a rule, the stuff they bring us and that finds Its way here through other channels Is old and bro ken and uninteresting, out now and then something of rare artistic value turns up In the lot, and we would be only too glad to take It out and mako good the coin value, but the law for bids. "That, by the way, Is no doubt the very reason why we occasionally get such articles. People who are poor and proud would rather have the Iden tity of their relics lost forever In the melting pot than run the risk of ex posing their straits by leaving them with the pawnbrokers." New Orleans Times-Democrat. A Good Place to Leave. "The Indians of Mexico," says a cor respondent of Forest and Stream, "know nothing of the laws of conta gion. They display an apathy toward certain loathsome diseases which sur prises a foreigner. "In a recent hunting trip in the Sier ra of Pueblo our party of eight was descending toward Zacapoaxtla. We rode leisurely, for the trail was nar row and hemmed In by Indian huts. At the door of one of these stood a woman and a little girl. We stopped to Inquire the way, when the follow ing conversation took place: " 'Good morning, senora.' "'A very good morning, at your or ders, senor.' " 'This is the road to Zacapoaxtla, Is It not?' , " 'You are quite right, senor.' " 'And ts it very far?' " 'On the contrary, it is a very little ways.' " 'A thousand thanks for your kind ness, scnor.'i.' ." 'There Is nothing for which to offer them, senor.' " 'Is the little girl sick, senora?' " 'She Is n little sick, senor.' " 'What is the matter with her? " 'She has the smallpox, senor.' "'Ah. good day, senora!'" Hard to Get Ont. An English woman who has beea traveling In Uussia seems to have found It easier to get lu than to get out of the czar's country. She sent her pass port to the authorities before starting In order to have It vised and then blithely made for the frontier. Arriving there, she was Immediately detained and taken before the powers that not only be, but also do, at the Russian frontier. Here she was In formed that her passport did not per mit her to leave the country and that she would be obliged to make herself comfortable while the police found out all she bad done while in the country. At first she was rather pleased at the thought of how she would tell her friends about It when she got home. But when she found that she had to pay not only for her room, her meals, service and nil that sort of thing, but also for long telegrams which the au thorities were exchanging In regard to her case, her pleasure dwindled as rap idly as her funds did. She finally got off, however, but without receiving any apology or any reimbursement. New York Sun. The Diimilnni Ballet. The dumdum bullet secured its name from the Indian arsenal by whose officers it was devised, and tho name should not be spelled in two words or even hyphenlzed. as a great many people appear to think. Dum dum Is a town and a military station about four miles northeast of Cal cutta. It was the experience In the Sudan and also In lite Spanish-American war that the dew magazine rifles, whose small calibers give them greater ac curacy aud greater carrying power than the old weapons, were faulty In one Important particular. The small caliber bullets have slight effect on those struck by them, and It was to obviate this difficulty that the dumdum bullet was devised.
