to sing a little, to dance a little,

fact, culture means nothing of the

BROWN HOOKER.
Novelists arc often blamed for a
too frequent use of coincidence in
their works of fiction, yet in real
life nothing is so common as
pence. Here is a little one that hap-
to me last week and it an-
me somewhat while it lasted.
And this reminds me that novelists
are perfectly justified in using co-
incidences in their books, they are
not justified in telling what is not
true about the actions of an
cent or a guilty man. You have
doubtless read a thousand limes that
a man who is innocent is as bold as
a lion, and he looks you straight in
the face, and generally acts the re-
verse of guilty. How often have we
seen it on the stage, that the hero
smites his breast and appeals to
heaven, whereupon everybody in tho
knows that he is innocent,
and applauds loudly. The guilty
person, on the other hand, is sup-
posed lo shrink, to stammer and to
tell awkward lies, which nobody
would think of believing.
My experience is that in real life
the cases are exactly reversed. It
is the liar that looks you straight in
the face. It is the innocent man
who blushes and cannot account for
his actions.
Now the coincidence in this little
true story, which I am about to re-
late, happened At any other
time in the week a telegraph mes-
might have come and gone

least, but it just chanced that at the
moment he did come the one person

given a card to somebody some
days before, but to whom I could not

As the messenger boy stood there
waiting, I turned the card over.
The person, who might have been

was looking over my shoulder. On
the other side of the card was writ-

I must now go to a row I had with
the post office of Great
Britain.
An author in the United States
wrote me a letter, a postal
order for four shillings and two
pence. He asked mo to be good
enough to buy him English postage
stamps to that amount and send,
over to him. He had
out, what many American authors
have apparently yet to learn, that
American postage stamps are of no
use in England, and, as ho wished to
try some on a number of Brit-
publications, he wished to able

the order, and the clerk there took

that a man should never lose his

JOKE-MAKING TRADE.
A Flourishing Industry
of a Very Peculiar Nature.
Sew York the Outer of This
Who Are the
Stay, of the
Paper.
The business of joke making and
short-verse writing is a trade in it-
self and has its center in New York,
says the Now York Advertiser. In
almost every city or large town
there are one or two bright wits who
have cracked some exceptional jokes
comic paper has printed
and paid for. In many a place there
is some local punster whose efforts
are pride of his narrow circle.
But only in Now York does this
work center itself. When I speak
of joke writing as a business with
some mean it literally. There is a
coterie of about forty writers, most
of whom live in New York, who do
nothing but write for the comic pa-
They do not wait for a happy
inspiration, but make the
come to them. They write jokes
and verso for their living, and with
some of them it is a very good
indeed. These are tho men the
comic papers depend upon for most
of their material, and at least ten
of them make from forty to eighty
dollars a week joke
Some of these are well known to the
general public from their names
over verses or short sketches. But
some of them again, who write mere-
short are known only
to the editor.
It is no uncommon thing for any-
one of these men to turn out from
to jokes new, war-
ranted not to a week, and
bits of verse. Tho professional joke
writer frequently sits down without
an idea in his bead. Some turn of
speech comes to writes down
bis joke on a small rectangular bit
of paper, just tho size to slip into
envelope conveniently. That joke
or his train of thought suggests an-
other, and on he goes until in two
hours he may have written twenty-
five jokes.
Then the business part of it comes
In. By a system of special book-
keeping he enters tho head of each
joke in a book and places opposite
the title the paper to which the joke
is sent. As a gene thing he will
put twenty-five squibs which he has
just finished in an envelope with an
and directed
inside, start the package on its
tour around the world of humor.
He sends it first to the paper which
pays the highest price end then in
regular order from weekly to week-
until he has exhausted the list
gotten down to where they pay as
little as fifteen per
starvation price for the professional
humorist. Suppose the first paper
to whom he sent the package took
three jokes. When the others came
back he checks off the three as
and if the paper
in question pays acceptance
and most of them do to the leading
writer. The rest he sends to tho
second paper, which may perhaps
take four. The remaining jokes are
again checked off and the package
star led again. There are as many
as twenty-five papers and periodic-
which pay for original so
that the humorist has an excellent
chance of getting rid of all the jokes
of a series at some price. Of course,
he is continually sending out new
batches to the first paper on his list
and thence to the others, so that his
name and his humor are continually
before the editors.
Some Curious Trees.
There are many vegetable won-

tropical trees furnish clothes as well
as food, and the inner bark of others
is smooth and flexible enough for

When Snaffles got married, he
moved up to to live. He
hired a flat and bought a brass lamp
with a pink shade, a glazed-paper
clock with an imitation bronze sol-
on the top of it, and secured on
the installment plan a red plush
consisting of a rock-
a sofa and two smaller
chairs. But Harlem is a good dis-

Snaffles is a good sleeper he
found it necessary to hasten
his toilet and his breakfast in order
not to be late at his office. His wife
finally suggested that a glazed paper
clock, even if it did have a soldier
top, was of small use if it could
not get Snaffles out of bed in the
morning, and she added that an
alarm clock would be of more
ice in their household. And so when
Snaffles wont to luncheon that day
he stopped at a shop where they sell
these things and asked to look at
alarm clocks. The obliging clerk
said he knew just what Snaffles
wanted, and showed him a round
nickel-plated timepiece that kept
time with such a loud ticking that
Snaffles feared that ho would not be
able to sleep in the same flat with it.

perfect confidence in the future. He
got away from his desk late that
night, and caught a train on the
elevated road shortly after six
o'clock. In the next seat sat an
Irishman, who soon began to look
on him with suspicion, for at every
stop he could plainly hear a loud and
mysterious ticking emanating from

Mrs. Elizabeth the

received a caller, who found her sit-
ting complacently amusing a
months-old colored baby with kinky
hair, inky face and a mouth like a
heart, who sat on her knee, in its
white linen slip, laughing and crow-
delightedly. The visitor was of
the somewhat old type of strong-
minded women. But that settled

Under an English law of not very
old date, felons who were well be-
while in durance vile and
whoso offenses were not of the
est, were ticketed and given their
liberty. If this liberty was not
abused and the paroled men gave in-
of leading better lives
they were allowed to remain at large.
This provision of the English law
seems to have struck Gov. Rich as
being sensible, and he recommends
to the legislature the enactment of
a law which will permit the
of the state to parole such as
may be deemed worthy of so great a
favor. The governor's plan provides
for the apprehension and return to
prison of any paroled prisoners at
any time and without further process
of law, if their Is not all It
should be. This has been
adopted In California and is said to
be well liked Rapids

planting season is again at hand and the
question that is of most interest to you is what
shall I plant, where shall I plant It, and how
shall I plant it. After what to plant
and to plant, it equally as much
how you plant and cultivate. From past
experience it is conceded by all that no land
will make a good crop unless properly
and that a judicial use of commercial Fer-
pays on the lands in this section. It is
with much pleasure and satisfaction that we offer
for sale the following High Grade and Reliable
Brands of Fertilizers named below. The past
results from their use being endorsed by the
leading farmers in this section justify us in say-
they are all well adapted to our soil. We

of goods as cheap or cheaper than you can buy

THE BICYCLE.
The Story of Its Invention by the Two
A monument has recently been
erected at to the two
father and son, who are
credited with the invention of the
modern bicycle. The
Lyons, tells the story of the
as
had a small lock-
smith shop Id Paris. One day a
bizarre machine was given them to
small saddle resting on a
snake-like frame and holding to-
two light wheels. The ma-
chine was put in motion by the
striking the ground with the tips of
his toes. The queer thing was
painted yellow, and called
from its inventor, the German for-
ester, K. V. A on this
was very tiring, impossible uphill,
and, above all, very ungraceful. But
the young bloods of the time of the
second empire managed very well
with it, and got lots of fun out of
the machine. Young Ernest Mich-
aux conceived the idea of adding
pedals to the front wheel and be-
came thus the inventor of the mod-
velocipede. His idea found lit-
favor at first, more attention was
to the tricycle; as early as 1863
a Paris hatter named vis-
his customers on a tricycle. The
international exhibition of 1867,
however, gave an impulse to bicycle
riding, by drawing the attention of
the public to several new improve-
added by the The
prince imperial learned to ride, and
the aristocracy, with the prince of
at their head, followed his ex-
ample. The latter had high-
wheeled machines built to order.
One was of aluminum bronze with
wheels of rosewood; the other was
built entirely of steel, beautifully
engraved with hunting scenes. Tho
bicycle school of tho was
now always full. They could no
longer fill all orders, and formed a
company for the their
machines. They also built a
with asphalted track, on
which also a kind of hurdle race
could run. Hero was a ditch,
which had to be crossed on a narrow
plank, and a kind of Irish bank.
Lawsuits among the partners broke
up the concern, the war of 1870 came,
and people had other things to speak
about. It tho meantime the Eng-
and Americans improved the In-

An anecdote of Gladstone is going
the rounds which shows how care-
fully he makes use of every moment
of his time. One day tho great Eng-
went to visit a friend, and
after interesting conversation of
an hour or so, the host left the room
for a few minutes. On returning he
found Gladstone deeply immersed
in a book, which was carried for use
at just such spare moments as this.
This was Gladstone's method of
every m . but it is not fair
to conclude that every man should
do the same. It is not often a wise
use of time to spend one's odd mo-
in thought. If a man is
idle, that is no
that his brain is idle. Some men can
think in minutes than
they can read in an

A Historic Weapon Appears on an
Opera Stage in New York.
William marched
onto the stage of the Herald Square
theater, recently, he had the ancient
claymore of the original Rob Roy
slung over his shoulder. This
weapon, which is more than
four feet long and weighs sonic
twelve or fourteen pounds, was ac-
carried in battle by several
generations of chieftains of the Mac-
Gregor clan, and was originally
owned by Donald MacGregor, the
father of Rob Roy, who lived two
hundred and fifty years ago.
It was brought to this country by
one of the family, who migrated to
these shores time in tho last
century, and is now the property of
one of the descendants of this man,
George MacGregor, who is a civil
engineer living in Brooklyn. Mr.
MacGregor lent the claymore to Mr.
to be worn on the night of
the one hundredth performance of
the pretty Scotch opera.
The weapon has a big basket hilt
of iron, and its blade is nearly three
inches wide. It would a man

Cleaning Jewelry.
The care of jewelry is very simple.
With the exception of pearls, it may
be washed with warm water and
any pure soap. It should then
put into boxwood sawdust to dry.
It this is done it will not need to
polished. Boxwood sawdust is very
fine, and will therefore not scratch
what is put into it, and, moreover,
it absorbs the quickly,
thus helping to give the jewels a high
polish. Boxwood may be obtained
from any dealer in sup-
plies, or could be ordered through a
jeweler. When you cannot get box-
wood the jewels may be polished by
rubbing hard with flannel or
chamois. Unless you are sure that
your pearls have never been cut and
that they are without flaw do not
run the risk of wetting Brush the
settings and let them go. Mourning

everything but crape, and this con-
cession has banished jet and onyx.

Measuring the Speed with Which
Earthquake Waves Travel.
Some readers may know that the
pulsations of the great earthquake
in Greece last April were perceived
in England and, it was believed, at
the Cape of Good Hope, by means of
very delicate instruments contrived
for purpose of registering any
slight shaking of the earth's crust.
In like manner the shock of the Con-
earthquake of July last
was perceived at various meteor-
observatories In Austria.
Russia, Germany, Holland, France
and England.
By a comparison of times, com-
with the distances from Con-
of the places where
were observed, a fairly ac-
curate estimate of the velocity with
which the earthquake waves
was obtained.
The average speed was about two
miles per second. This is almost
exactly tho same velocity as that
which was calculated for the
of tho Greek earthquake in
April. At this rate, if it were con-
without diminution, the wave
would pass completely round the
earth, along a great circle, in about
three hours and a half.
One of the English instruments
which registered these pulsations is
at the bottom of a deep mine near
and its delicacy
may be judged from the fact that It
has recorded the beating of the
waves on the sea coast ten miles

The Thirteen Club Records Thirteen
of History.
The thirteenth annual meeting and
dinner of tho Thirteen club, which
curiously enough took place on the
12th instead of the 13th of January,
was one of the most notable affairs
in the history of this
club. The members of the club
met at the Old Knickerbocker cottage
on Sixth avenue,
New York, in the room in which the
club was born thirteen years ago.
The founder of the club, Capt.
Fowler, gave a historical re-
view of its organization and career.
Past Chief Rulers Hon. David
Adam, justice of the superior court,
and Hon. J. H. V. Arnold,
gate, delivered addresses.
With this meeting and banquet
closed tho first cycle in the club's
calendar, which reckons everything
by thirteens. The business trans-
acted and the speeches prolonged
the festivities past the midnight
at minutes past
on the morning of January all
present and toasted the
birthday of the Thirteen club.

printing on the zinc plate.
The of the plate is buffed to
the highest degree of polish, then
coated with a solution of albumen
and gelatin, then sensitized with
bichromate of ammonia. It is then
dried and placed in the printing
frame, the coated side next to the
negative Aim. The case is then ex-
posed to the sun or light three to
five minutes or to an electric light
for fifteen to twenty minutes. The
light passes through the heavy inch
thick glass of the printing frame,
then through the negative, striking
the sensitized plate and
the chemicals wherever it may
fall. Where the plate is protected
by the shadows and half tones of tho
negative the sunlight has less effect,
and where the shadows are dense it
has no effect.
This plate is then removed from i
the frame in a dark room and care- j
fully washed under running water
for several minutes, then dried and
heated until the picture appears of
a dark brown color. The back of

The most minute precautions are

North German Superstitions.
If you superstitious there are
many things you must net do, says
the New Orleans Picayune. In north
Germany you must not spin during
the twelve nights of Christmas, lest
you should walk after your death,
nor after sunset on Saturday, for
then mice will eat your work. Speak-
of eating, If you want to have
money and luck all the year round
you must not fail to eat herrings on
New Year's day; nor, if you wish U
must you rock an empty
cradle or spill wantonly or cross
knives or point at the stars. If you
leave a dirty cloth on the table over
night you will make the angels weep;
If you point upward to the rainbow
you will make the feet bleed;
and If you talk of cabbages while
looking at the moon you will hurt
the feelings of the man In it, who
was a cabbage stealer in his salad
days.
