USE LOTS OF PRINTER'S INK AND - "BE PROSPEROUS. aweMef IS mm THE STREET-CAR SPOTTEfi. He Keeps Tab on tlie Conductor by Means of a Silent Pocket Keelster. For several months contractors have been watching' men who habitually stand on rear platforms, says the In dianapolis News. That. is the spot ter's position. Professional spotters never "give themselves awa'y" by counting- the passengers. The Spotter carrys a small noiseless register in one of the pockets of his overcoat. . lie . is most likely to appear on a oaf that is to carry a big load. He takes his place on the rear platform and always appears to be the most unconcerned man on. the car. The first thing he does is to glance at the register in the front jot the - car. He makes mental note of the number of fares that have been rung up. Every time a passenger gets on he presses the button of the little register in his pocket. lie never appears to be watching the persons who are getting in the car, but he must be careful not to miss one. He rides on the platform until the fares of all the persons, who have' got on Ae car since he took his position have been col lected. His last-act before getting off is the mental registration of the num ber of fares indicated by the register in the car. If he has another test to make before making his report, he will probably stop under the first electric light, write down on the blank fur nished him the number of fares regis tered when he got on - the car and the number registered when, he got off. He subtracts one from the , other, and. has ""before him the number of fares the conductor should have registered. " Then he looks at his indicator, and if there is a dis crepancy between his count and the count the conductor registers he re ports the fact to the company. , A conductor who is discharged is never accused of having1 stolen money from the company.. The charge is "im properly' collecting' fares.!. It is not often that a .conductor is discharged the first time it is reported to the com pany that he is -"improperly collecting fares." The test is applied to him fre quently, and if it is found that he is habitually not ringing np fares for all the persons who take passage on his car he is dismissed. Conductors . be lieve that the means employed by. spotters are unfair. They say that it is often impossible for any man to get all the fares on a car; that it is an easy matter to g-et all. the fares when a car is not crowded, but when fifty or sixty persons board a car" bound up town it is next to impossible to collect without an error. Often persons will get off the car" before the conductor has'reached thern, and, hampered as he is by the crowd, they say, he cannot prevent this. Then persons are getting on and off, exchanging seats and doing other .things that mystify the cond actor as he pushes his way through the crowd in search of the nickels that are due the company. FOLLOWING A PRECEDENT. Old 13 Ul Botts -Had Found the Heathen - Chinee Not at All Accommodating:. '-. A pood, honest fellow in his way was Bill Botts, but he hart never a ad an op portunity to study moral philosophy as taught in the colleges and universi ties, says the New York Herald. He came from ' Biddeford, in Devon, and very likely some of his ancestors , had helped Drake y wallop" the Spaniards. He had followed in their foot&teps by enlisting in the navy to fight'for his queen and country whenever called upon (o do so. . When he returned from a voyag"e to China he brought with him a present for a gentleman who had been 'very kind to his old -mother during his absence. It was a curiously fashioned Chinese garment made of bits of a species of straw strung- together. ' "Plase, sur, you must exe'oos un be ing torn," he said, tiashfully, when he presented it, "the Chinaman wouldn't part with un aisy." , He had run across a Chinaman wear ing; it somewhere in the streets of Hong . Kongy and ,the unfortunate celestial not understanding his .sum mary request to ''hand that over here" he had simply yanked it off him. To the suggestion that his conduct had hardly been consistent with strict honesty he replied: "Beggin' your pardon, sur, he wuz only a haythen, an' I never heard that taking things from a haythen counted as stalin'." - "Well," replied his friend, "if many illustrious Englishmen had not acted on that assumption I don't know where the British empire would now be; so I'll , keep the heathen's , gar ments." 1 . . . .V GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Alien the eyes are ; treated fairly they are strengthened, hot -weakened, -by work, says the Philadelphia Times. Just as the arms of a blacksmith grow the stronger for his trade, so the eyes of watchmakers who work under, healthy conditions are found to im prove and not to deteriorate in vigor and quickness. . It is the abuse of the eyes, not their use, which is to be avoided. If a man is aware either that his eyes need no artificial correction or else have received their proper adjust ment, and if his 'work, whether liter ary or mechanical, is done in a light both steady and sufficient and with a due ' regard as to ordinary sanitary rules, he . may fell, sure that, he . is strengthening' his eyes, not weakening them, . by . b.ard work. Men of intel lectual pursuits sometimes are afraid of losing their mental powers in old age because they have drawn sp much upon them when young-. The reverse is nearer the truth, . and if they have not overtaxed their brains the fear is absolutely groundless. : .v The man whose intellect goes first in old age is generally some farmer or laborer who has never strengthened and invigorated it by . use; not the politician, the lawyer or the man of letters. So with the eyes. . Those who have strengthened their eyes by using them properly keep keen sight longer than those who have never trained them. In the case of the man who has neglected to give his eyes full develop ment they will fail - in power along with his other bodily functions. When however, the man who, born with good eyes, has kept them in constant hard work and vet never strained them reaches old age, he may find them capable of performing their functions better . than any- other organ of the body. . . . -. .

The second attack I am I satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first bntfor the useof the remedy."

It is sometimes called the ground-pea. and ground or earth nut. ; Still another name for .it,. says the Detroit Free Press, is pindal orpindar, and in west ern .Africa it is called' mandubi. The plant is a trailing vine with small yel low flowers.' After the Cowers fall the flower stem grows longer, bends down ward, and the pod on the end forces it self into ' the ground, where it ripens. Peanuts are raised in immense quan tities on the west coast of Africa, in South America and in the southern United States. The vines are dug with pronged hoes or forks, dried for a few days and then stacked for two weeks to cure. . The pods are picked by hand from the vines, cleaned in a fanning mill, and sometimes bleached with sul phur, and packed in bags for market. Peanuts are sometimes eaten raw, but .usually roasted or . baked. In Africa and South America' they form one of the chief articles of food. Large quan tities of them, are made into an oil much like olive oil, and which is used in the same way; , It is also used, in the manufacture of soap. , A bushel of peanuts, when pressed jold,-will make a gallon 'of oil. If heat is used, more oil is made, but it Is not so good. In Spain peanuts are ground, and mixed with chocolate. . Peanut" vines make g-ood food, for cattle.
