KDoin' Their Own Stretchln'."
After being without a girl for a week, :
, the mistress of a Harlem apartment !
I was showing an applicant over the !
flat She had been liberal in her prom- !
ises of privileges in the way of after- j
roods and nights off. She had even !
cone so far as to extend the hour of !
the girl's return on these nights, nnd
to agree to her using tbe sewing machine
after her work was done.
The new girl seemed pleased, add i
the mistress was beginning to hope, j
T'ley walked back into the dining- |
room, and the girl had actually re- j
moved one pin from her hat. Then j
her smile faded, and a question mark j
appeared.
you do .^our own stretchin'?"
she demanded.
"Do we dc our own what?" asked
the puzzled mistress.
"Stretchin\" repeated the new girl, j
"I don't understand."
"Stretchin'," repeated tne girl a see- |
ond time. "Do you put all the stuff
on the table at mealtime and stretch
for it, or do I have to shuffle it
"v V around?"
The family are "stretchin"' in earnest
now, and will uitfil they get a girl
who Is willing to wait on the table as
well as cook the meal. The matron's
household vocabulary contains a new
word.?New York Tribune.

All Devotion to Dinner.
"Not many epicures are left in this
busy age," said a young man. "I know
one, however, and he invited me to a
venison dinner at his club the other
day. He had just deceived from bis
on a deer from Canada.
"Well, I went to this dinner and it I
displeased me. Food is not so im- ;
portant a thing as my host and his
elderly guests consider it. I was revolted
to see'those men treat their
venison as you or I would treat a wonderful
new poem or picture.
"Not one word did the old fellows
speak during the entire" venison
course. From the moment they stuck i
their folks into the juicr meat till the
moment-their plates were taken away
4Ut'J piCSClVtu u irngiuua aucuvc,
such as in a cathedral is maintained.
"I, however, talked a little. To the
'.old boy opposite me I addressed one
direct question. He choked, gurgled
and then said angrily:
" 'Young man, whenever you are on
a venison course I advise you not* to
speak till every one is finished. Iiv
endeavoring just now to answer your
question, I have swallowed a fine piece
of the fat,-entire, without tasting its
flavor.' "?Chicago Chronicle.

A politician, upon his arrival at one
of the small towns lu North Dakota,
where he was to make a speech the
following day, found that the two sot-ailed
hotels were crowded to the
doors. Not having telegraphed for
accommodations the politican discovered
that he would have to makeshift
as best he could. He was compelled
for that night to sleep on a wire cot
which had only some blankets and a
sheet on it. As the statesman is a fat
can, he found his improvised bed anything
but comfortable. "Well," asked
a friend, when the politician appeared
in the dining room in the morning,
v * "bow did you sleep?" "Oh, fairly well,"
relied the statesman, nonchalantly,
4-o'ut I looked like a waffle when I
got up."?Yoqth's Companion.
Worl(l'? Production of Pin*.
By a computation made ten years
was shown that at that time |
the weekly production of pins in
Great Britain was 280,000,000. Then
120,000,000 were made in France, and
120,000,000 ia Germany, Holland and
, Belgium. Since that time the production
of pins has increased largely.
The biggest pin manufacturing city in
the world is Birmingham, where 37,000,000
pins, on an average, are manufactured
every working day. The
other pin factories in Great Britaiu
together turn out about 19,000,000 pins
daily.

HABIT'S CHAfN.
. Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and |
'?Hard to* Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates j
that the amount of will power necessary
to bj-euli a life-long habit would,
if it could he transformed, lift a weight
of many tons.
It sometimes requires a higher degree
of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious
habit than to lead a forlorn
hope in a bloody baf*le. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was a
'.over or conee. ueiore i was out 01 my i
icons I was a mi.erable dyspeptic, suf- \
foring terribly at times with my
Vomacb.
"I was convinced (bat it was coffee !
<liat was causing the trouble and yet 1 '
*<>uld not deny myself a cup for brc-ak- !
fast. At the age of 3?1 I was in very j
|K>or health, indeed. Sister told me
\ was in danger of beccm'-ng a coffee
drunkard.
"But I never coulu jjive up drinking*
coffee for breakfast although it kept
roe constantly ill, "until I tried Postum.
I learned to make it properly according
to directions, and now we can hardly
do without I'ostiHii for breakfast, and
tare nothing at all for coffee.
"I am no longer troubled with dyspepsia,
do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
aic so when I drank coffee." Name

almost his last breath that he had any
wealth, other than the home in which
he lived and the spacious grounds thai
surrounded his residence, Airman Du
bel's estate, it is now estimated, will
amount to between $300,COO and $309,000.
Since his death relatives have inau
gurated a search of the Dnhel premises,
which has resulted in the finding
of more than 1J9000 in go Id,^silver and
moth eaten paper bill~, cMefiy of $100
denomination.
Stored in dusky recesses and out o!
the way nooks, laid between theleaves
of books, which were carelessly placed
in uhioc&ed. receptacles, and hidden
beneath the carpets which covered the
floors in his home, the money has been
found, and relatives are confident that
they have merely begun their discovery
of treasures.
In a peck measure in a room In
which there was countless rubbish,
there was $1700.'and a cigar box held
$2500 in goid. A thin book, merely a
pamphlet, contained between thirtyeight
consecutive leaved thirty-eight
one hrndred dollar bills. Old clothing
in various trunks and closets had i>een
receptacles for money.
Living the life of a reclust* for a'
score of years and having as .his. companion
a housekeeper who was hip
ward, Dubel was known, by the reSi
dents to have considerable money, de
spite his vigorous denials '1 His fortune
accumulated greatly during his
lifetime, but he received a large estate
in line of descent from ancestors, who
in the days of the Revolution and prior
thereto, received enormous grants ot
land from the English Crown and
later from the State of New Jersey.
Search among old papers brought to
light scores of mortgages upon property
of residents of the tjwn and county
for miles around. % .
For years Dubel had lived on fare
that caused one to wonder how he
kept body and soul together. Though
known as a stinjry man. he is said to
have been very kind to old friends of
his family. He owned much real
estate ip, this town, and severai aged,
and neeqj- tenants have lived in these
buiIdings.<for many years without paying
rent.
A substantial yearly income was re
ceived by Dubel from his estate, aud
this was mostly reinvested In bonds
and mortgages. Holding to the old
time ideaii of his ancestors, ha had no
faith in banks and like institutions,
and his income, which has been accumulating
for years, has-presumably
all been'hidden in Ijis home, which is
a building more than one hundred
years old.
Dubel's funeral was attended by
nearly every able-bodied resident, of
Burlingtou. Crowds of curious persons
visited the home of the deceased,
expecting his will would be read before
the burin! ceremony was he!d. The will
was not mentioned.
