Such Are Women's Ways.
"Women viewing another woman's '
wedding presents say things which are
liable to be misinterpreted," said a
Chicago detective, who is usually detailed
to guurd the presents at big
weddings, "and other things which no
favoruble interpretation would make
complimentary to the bride or to the
givers. It's the way of the sex, I suppose.
Now, why is it that the most
common remark of the women who
rro inspecting the layout of silver and
other gifts more or less useful is
'what a lot of presents she got?' Of
course, they vary the remark. 'What
a lucky girl!' says one, as If she would
liko to add, 'some persons have too
much luck.' Now, these women do
not mean any harm. It'B just their
way of expressing admiration, usually.
But there are others who surely
evince an uncharitable, petty Bpirit.
They pick up and examine every article,
and appraise it in loud whispers.
They express voluble wonder as to
whether the silver is solid, and doubt
the genuineness of the cut glass. Even
if they like a thing they will decide
that it won't wear well. And so the
tongues wag."
What Is Happiness?
The aim of human life, no doubt, is
happiness. But after all, what iB happiness?
Efficiency, wealth, material
comfort? Many by their lives do so
affirm; few are cynical enough to say
bo; and on their deathbeds none will
feel so. Not even freedom In itself
brings happiness. Happiness lies in !
breadth of heart. And breadth of heart
is that inward freedom which has the
power to understand, feel with, and,
if need be, help others. In breadth ot
heart are founded justice, love, sacri
flee; without it there would be no special
meaning to any of our efforts, and
the tale of all human life would be
still no more than that of supremely
gifted animals, many of whoso com
munities are highly efficient, and have
instinctive unity founded on experience
of its utility, but none of that
conscious altruism which is without
perception of future benefit to self
jiinl works from sheer recognition of
its own beauty.?Atlantic Monthly.
Going Home to Mother.
Just what 1 mean by going home
to one s mother in its larger sense is
perhaps a little diilicult to deiine. Yet
surely, it must be a very universal
experience, ilave we not all at some
time?often following a period of confusion
and stress of circumstances?
suddenly experienced that deep sense
of linding ourselves where we belonged?
A sense of restfulness, of
homecoming, of general Tightness and
well-being? It is a sloughing off of
the nonessential and the trivial and a
shifting of the spirit into deeper and
simpler channels; a pause, when in
the midst of all this mad dance of
time r.nd circumstance one gets a sudden.
enlarging glimpse of truth and of
eternity.?Atlantic Monthly.
Puns on Tombstones.
The punster is irrepressible; ho
even indites his jokes on tombstones.
An epitaph in Whitham Abbey informs
us that Sir James Fullerton
died "fuller of faith than of fears,
fuller of resolutions than of pains, |
fuller of honour than of days."
There is another of Daniel Tears: j
"Though strange, yet true, full sev- ,
enty years was his wife happy with
her Tears."
This was written of an organist:
"Here lies one blown out of breath,
who lived a merry life, and died a
Meredith."
Another says: "Here lies Thomas
Huddlestone; reader, don't smile, but
retlect as this tombstone you view, |
that Death, who killed him, in a very
short while will huddle a stone upon
you."
Use for Prisoners of War.
Austria has discovered a scientific
use for prisoners of war. Doctor Pocb,
professor of anthropology and ethnol!
cgy at the University of Vienna, has
been granted the sum of $800 by the
government to conduct anthropological
researches among the captives of Aus- I
trian arms. He will measure their
skulls, tabulate the color of hair and

otherwise subject these human specimens
to the scientific "once-over"
many times repeated. The good doctor
Is said to be wildly enthusiastic i
over the prospect of so large and varied
a collection of human material

United States Gold.
The actual amount of gold in the
United States at the present time is
estimated at somewhat over $2,000,000,000
The treasury statement of
most recent date showed gold deposited
in the. United States treasury of
$1,445,000,000, while the specie in national
hanks is probably $500,000,000
moro According to the last report
the gold in the Rank of England was
$336,000,000; in the Hank of Franco,
$876,000,000; in the Bank of Germany,
$602,000,000; In the Bank of Russia,
$825,000,000; Bank -of Austria-Hungary,

"Tired Hunter" Was a Corpse.
When H. h. Burr went to his grist
mill, near Ball's Mills, he found leaning
against the door what he at Drat '
supposed was a tired hunter who had
stopped to rest.
When he came closer he found It
was the body of H. Franklin Spotts,
who had by all indications placed the
muzzle of a shotgun in his mouth and
pulled the trigger with his foot, blowing
out his brains.?Willlamsport (Pa.)

High Buildings Receive Critical Ap.
proval of Sheik Recently Arriving
in New York.
Sheik Sayid M. Wajih Gilant,
lineal descendant of the prophet Mohammed
and imperial Ottoman re- 1
llgious commissioner for the Pb'.lip- 1
pines, has arrived on the Spanish liner
Manuel Calvo from Barcelona. 1
As the liner came up the bay the '
sheik gazed at Manhattans skv- 1

places they would make from which
to offer up a Mohammedan prayer. Tho
immigration officials accepted him as 1
it sun 01 Aionammvaan uiiiy Sunday, 1
and, as he fulfilled all their require- <
ments, let him enter Uncle Sam's portals.
The sheik, although a descendant 1
of the prophet, is as fair as an Anglo- 1
Saxon. Ho speaks many languages, 1
including English, well, and but for a
turban and oriental robes thrown 1
over his European dress, one might <
have mistaken him for a well-to-do '

FEELING EFFECTS OF WAR '
Trappers Suffer Because of the Ab- '
sence of Demand for Furs in !
European Markets.
With an almost complete absence ot 1
demand from Europe which is the
chief market for furs, from the costly
black fox and glossy beaver to the
humble skunk and muskrat, combined
with a material decline in the vat- !
ues of the higher priced pelts, the lot '

the Canadian Northwest is not a 1
highly remunerative one at present
The supply is very good, according to
reports from the North, which fact
may tend to force prices still lower.
One business house which has been 1
doing considerable trade with north- '
ern trappers and fur dealers reports
that many of the well-known fur i
traders In northern British Columbia <
and the Yukon are unable to pay their 1
bills, because they have been unable <
to obtain anything like reasonable
prices for their furs. It Is anticipated,
however, that there will be a demand
for moderate-priced furs in the near l
future. A prominent dealer in Van-1
couver has pointed out that when j \
times were good people were willing t
to pay high prices for the best furs!
and that they now require furs having
the same artistic effect, but at a very
moderate price. Black furs will bo
much in demand In Eurnnn nrd
where because of tho almost universal
mourning. Other furs, like the white)
fox, mut,iuash and lynx, will be dyed (
black to meet the demand. (
This Man Lucky. | ,
Some men are gifted with luck (
when tho double hoodoo is around. A ,
well-known New York lawyer took his ,
wife to the theater. Shortly after en- ,
tering the playhouse she discovered ,
that her $G#0 diamond bar pin had ,
been lost from her dress. Hubby ,
scouted around tho theater lobby and ,
on the street. He was Just about to ,
return to his seat when he saw what , _
he thought was his wife's pin on the
floor near the entrance. Picking It up '
he found it was a bar pin of pearls and
diamonds, even more valuable than
the one his wife lost. At intermission
time the lawyer again strolled out and '
happened to glance at the floor near <
the box office. There, In plain sight,
lav his wife's nin His nHfo woa rwor.

Sumatra's Tea-Growing Industry. ,
The island of Sumatra, now in (
course of development as a tea producer,
and reported to be capable of
producing heavy yields from mature
plants, has followed up last year's in- j
troductory period by larger supplies, ;
and the industry has received much j '
encouragement from the abnormally I
high values of the past year. The teas 3
have already secured a "good will" in
the market The area under tea now ^
approaches 8,000 acres, nearly all of
which haye been opened out on the
east coast from Assam seed. |
Births in War Time.
It is a popular belief that more boys f
than girls are born in time of war. ,
According to a well-known London
doctor, however, there is little ground
for Bucb an idea. He declares be j
worked In a district where the strain
of war was felt "rery mocb because it
provided a large proportion of its 1
population to British fighting forces.

65 per cent of the birth* were
girls and 45 per cent boys.'

and It Proved In the Hiphost
Degree Effective. (j|
"Soreral years ago" said a New (
York physician, "there was a physl- j .
clan '11 tliiu city, dead now, whose /
greater fame was a t a chemist but /
he had a line medical practice. Like |
a good many others who have money 1
to pay bills with, the doctor was extremely
slow pay, and collectors had
hard times getting to him. Invariabiy
wken one called, the man at tho door j
would ask if he wished to see the doctor
professionally, am if the caller
said he did not he was assured the
doctor was not in.
"Finally one of them went at it
right and when the men at the uoor
asked if he wished to see the doctor
professionally he said he did, and was
politely passed into the waiting room.
A dozen more patients were ahead of
tiim, but he was inside at last and
an his way to the doctor, and he
waited patiently. When he reached
the doctor und said he had come with
i bill there was a great row at once,
and the doctor indignantly berated
tiira. However, being honest enough, '
tie paid the bill.
"The collector didn't care, so long
as he got the money, and straightway
told how he had done it. Then an- |___
ather one tried it and was successful,
but no more were. The third collector
got In with a bill for about $15, I
tiut he didn't get out with that amount.
The doctor charged him $10 for his
professional call and handed him over
the balance. One or two others were I

A monkey exhibited at a museum
established at Tacubaya. Mex., was ^
condemned to be shot under judicial 1
sentence. It seems tliat the animal
bit a man, who died from the results J
of the bite. The family of the doceased
brought complaint before a
judge, who was foolish enough to institute
criminal procedings against
the monkey and sentenced him to bo
Bhot. Luckily, the manager of tho j
museum brought influence to bear and
succeeded in obtaining a change of !
the sentence to perpetual imprison- |
