A certain old dark- made a habit
f going out to a tree which grew near
kls cabin and praying half an hour
each day. One day near the end of his
supplication a boy who was not far
Dft heard him say, "Oh, Lawd, if dls
ro' sinner done Innythlng wrong Jes
drap a big rock on his haid."
"If he prays that same thing tomor
row his prayer will be answered," said
the hoy to himself as he walked away.
The next day he climbed to the top
f the tree, taking a fifteen pound rock
with him. At the usual time the darky

The boy immediately let go the rock,

f his voice, "Oh, Lawd, can't yer take

"That's just It," said the boy; "too

"Young man," said Representative
Tebber of Ohio, "do you ever drink?"
The Ohio officeholder addressed look

Is a serious man and the other had nev

Buying line. It so happened that the
fflceholder was very, very thirsty and
that they were in the capitol, where It
is not possible to buy a drink, but
where congressional committee rooms
Have secret store.
"I should say so," he promptly and
enthusiastically responded. "What
committee room shall we go to, Mr.
Webber? This is very kind. I need
tlie thing you mention worse than any
thing on earth Just now."
"You misunderstand me," said Mr,
iVebber severely. "Come over here

A certain student put up his hand

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Wutthlim of WMdwarkar.
In a great number of works and mill
wood Is being wastefully burned In or-
Unary furnaces desigued for good coal.
In some cases wood alone Is burned, In
ether cases It is mixed with coal, either
large or small. Indeed, it may be fair
ly observed that In many works good
coal Is being burned to consume the
wood, a practice not at all uncommon
and entirely due to the-Ignorance of
the steam user, who too often Is quite
satisfied If he can generate such steam
as he requires under any circum
stances. In many sawmills, etc., sufficient
wood waste is available to provide the
whole of the steam power required If
such fuel Is burned under the best con
ditions, and in this industry, needless
to add, it would be very beneficial if
coal accounts could be entirely closed.
Such a desideratum, however, will be
reached only by burning wood waste
under those scientific conditions which
will insure the maximum value being
secured and fully utilized. The nature
of the material is such that it can be
best burned outside of the boiler in an
external cell or furnace. YV F. Good
rich iu Engineering Magazine.
Jews or Jewels f
Dr. M'adlson C. Peters, in his newly
published "The Jews In America,"
says that "not jewels, but Jews, were
the real financial basis of the first ex
pedition of Columbus." He continues:
"Dr. Kayserling has, beyond a doubt,
pointed out that two Marrauos, or se
cret Jews, Luis de Santangel and Ga
briel Sanches the former the chan
cellor of the royal household and comp
troller general iu Aragou, the latter
chief treasurer of Aragou enormously
licit merchants, who enjoyed the favor
of Ferdinand and Isabella, supplied
the funds needed to fit out Columbus'
caravels. Isabella did not sell her val
uable jewels to fit out Columbus for
his voyage. It is generally supposed
that she had already pawned or sold
them to defray the expenses of the
wars then devastating her country.
Dr. Kayserliug clearly shows that the
jewel story Is false and mythical. In
the account book of Luis de Santangel
and the treasurer, Francisco Pinelo,
extending from 1401 to 1493, Santangel
is credited with an item of 1,400,000
maravedis, which he gave to the bish
op of Avila for Columbus' expedition."
When London Sheriffs Ate Goose.
Thavle's inn, in Holborn, a nice quiet
spot, was formerly an inn of chancery.
Thavie was an armorer of the time of
Edward III., probably a Welshman and
in all likelihood a "Davie" and perhaps
the original Taffy of English prejudice
There were plenty of Welshmen In
Holborn in the days of the Plantage
nets. They would lie in wait for your
worship strutting down from your inn
toward the court and offer cheeses of
the kind they called Talgar at less
than market prices and without paying
the city dues.
The city bailiffs would run them In
If they caught them and generally kept
a sharp lookout for forestallers and re
graters and people with a taste for
bargains. Thus in 1375, one day after
dinner, John Clerk, a poulterer, met
John Spencer, "with twenty-two geese
In Holborn when coming to the city,"
and forthwith bought the whole flock
He was adjudged a fores taller, and the
geese were forfeited to the use of the
sheriff, so that there would be a rare
goose pie at the next city feast Lon
don Academy.
Marriage of Consumptives.
The marriage of the tuberculous is
perhapn frowned upon by all physl
claas, the majority of whom would no
doubt advocate the prohibition of such
unions. It is considerable of a sur
prise, then, to learn that Dr. Charles
Valentino of Paris has declared that
these marriages are desirable. He
bases his opinion upon the well known
fact that the disease itself Is rarely if
ever transmitted and that there is an
Immunity possessed by many of the
offspring of the tuberculous. He shows
that, though this Infection is more fre
quent about the age of twenty. Its ap
pearance in those of tuberculous par
entage. If they acquire it at all, Is
somewhere between thirty-Ore and fif
ty. He acknowledges that where one
partner alone la infected the other Is
contaminated In 10 per cent of the
cases and that this Infant mortality is
quite high, particularly where both par
ents are tuberculous, but he thinks that
these disadvantages are far outweigh
ed by the advantage of breeding up a
race of immunes. American Medicine.
A Record In Red Tape.
As long ago as Deo. G, 187", a young
French doctor sent ln on application
for a small post under government.
Another man was appointed to the
post, and the doctor, Laving received
no answer to his letter, forgot all nlwjut
the Diatter. lie was therefore more
than a little surprised a few days ago
to receive an official document which
he was required to fill up in order to
get a nomination for the position he
had applied for nearly eight and tweu
ty years liefore. But while the officials
had been leisurely replying to his let
ter the doctor had become a man ol
importance in the world and has lout
'nce ceased to think of such trifles w
a small government berth. Londoi

RibiIbk Injares the Heart.
The jinrikixha man, who often runt
forty miles a day at his greatest speed,
averages only five years at his work,
when his heart becomes diseased. It la

and may be in round, short round or
instep length. The back may be In
habit style or made with an Inverted
box plait. Etamine, voile, serge and
granite cloth will all make up well in
this design.
Tlio X'ew Stationery.
Xo wonder letter writing is becom
ing a lost art. Fashion now makes the
paper so thick that it is about impos
sible to get more than two sheets into
one envelope, and the modish hand
writing has grown so large latterly
that one barely gets n letter started
before two sheets are covered. Dure
white and a very delicate pearl are still
the leading colors. Monograms are
conspicuously large, heavy block let
ters taking first place when used sep
arately or in a monogram.
Silk Tailor Gowns.
Tailor gowns are made of silk a great
deal. For a time the silk tailor gown
was regarded as the property of sum
mer and between seasons, but it has
been found so smart and effective that
winter claims it also. There Is a fancy
just now for trimming these with braid
with rows of stitching between, mak
ing a most effective decoration. They
are trimmed a good deal and made to
look as heavy und rich as possible.
Concerning Feathers.
Flaunting plumage of most vivid col
orings decks the winter hats of the
woman of fashion, and, curiously
enough, not even the most brilliant
feathers are left as nature colored
them. They are dyed even more bril
liantly to suit the millinery freak of
the moment. Teacock tail plumage Is
used iu its metallic blue green shade,
while the tail feathers of the same bird
are dyed a rich brick red.
Fashion Fancies.
Shoes are getting more pointed defi
nltely so.
Those rounded muffs flat, of course
are as good this year as last, and
that's saying a great deal.
Short and long neck pieces are both
good, the preference a little given to
the long.
Lynx is more popular than it was
last season.
The Corset.
Corsets have changed a great deal
The old idea of a small, round waist
Is coming back into favor as rapidly
as can be, but, like the return of all
old ideas, with radical differences. Un
like the trim straight front corset,
poor figure isn't improved by It, but It
emphasizes the lines of a good figure
ln the prettiest possible way.
A 1Vt Boot.
A new boot has lately been brought
out called the spat boot. It is, as the
name implies, a walking boot with an
attached cloth spat, which forms the
upper part of the boot, but It overlaps
the vamp exactly as the spat does and
Is finished with the little buckle and
strap under the foot.
For Yoiiiff Folks.
Bright red silk, plalded with stripes
of brown and dull green, is the fabric
used for this very pretty child's cos
tume. The circular skirt has two box
plaits laid In the front, and these are
trimmed with brown velvet buttons ln
girl's cosrniE.
assorted sixes. The same trimming is
repeated upon the front of the waist,
which has the plait graduated to ac
commodate a dainty lace yoke. Rib
bon velvet stitched over the shoulders
outlines a round collar, and the full
ness of the untrtmmed sloeves Is tabes
at the wrists with small stitched tucks. !
