AN ODD COLLECTION. u/hv a Book Lover Buys Old Bibles w and Hymnbook?. ?All book collectors have their weaknesses," remarked a man who is often seen poring over the side walk counters of secondhand book shops, "and mine, I confess, rons ia the line of old Bibles -sud hymn books. Not particularly because they are Bi Wes and hymnbooks, ?mt because I simply can't stand it'to eee such books tossed about as dusty, almost worthless secondhand goods. Eaxept in the case of rare old Bibles or quite ancient hymn books, such books cost but a trifle. Religious books, sa a rule, are al most unsalable in secondhand shops, and I buy a great many; only, how ever, such as contain family names and inscription^ of pathetic charac C"My first purchase of the kind was au Episcopal prayer book, bat tered and torn, with the name of an 0ld friend of mine in gilt on the cover. It gave me a shock to find it on a secondhand counter, so I paid thc required dime and carried ft home. The man is dead, and his children are living in .other cit* 28, well to do. I have no idea how/his prayer book became public property. People ore queer. I offered it to a remote relative of the former own er, but she said she didn't care about it. Since then I have bought in other old family Bibles and hymn books which belonged to people I had known or which contain inter esting written matter. It is pitiful to see a Bible inscribed, To my dear son Henry, from his devoted moth er/ or, 'Elizabeth, from a loving fa ther/ or, 'Little William's birthday gift to Uncle William.' I] c "When these books come into my hands. I erase or tear out the in scriptions, and if my shelf cf old Bibles and hymnbooks ever gets started out again as 'religious junk* it will all be anonymous and want ing in that distressing quality which has made me perhaps absurdly sen timental over it." - Detroit Free Press. _ Argument From Precedent. Lincoln was once arguing a case against an. opponent who tried to convince the jury that precedent is superior to law and that custom makes things legal in all cases. Lin coln's reply, given in Miss Ida Tar bell's life of the, great war president, was one of his many effective anal ogies in the form of a story. Lincoln told the jury that he would argue the case in the same way as his opponent and began: "Old Squire Bagly, from Menard, came into my office one day and said: " 'Lincoln, I want your advice as a lawyer. Has a man whaf s been elected justice of the peace a right to issue a marriage license V "I told him not, whereupon the old squire threw himself back in Iiis .chair very indignantly and 6aid: '"Lincoln, I thought you was a lawyer. Now, Bob ThomaB and me had a bet on this thing, and we agreed to let you decide; but if this is your opinion I don/t want it, for I know a thunderin' sight better. I've been a squire eight years and have done it all the time.' " Not His Fish That Waa Spoiled. He dined wherever mealtime found him and in consequence in many differ??at restaurants. It had become a habit to notice the dish which most of tho other diners had and to order it. In this particular restaurant a fish dinner seemed to be the proper thing. An old man at the next table was particularly enjoying his fish. Presently the waiter brought the stranger his por tion. He looked askance, sniffed freely and remarked to the waiter: "I say, this fish does not seem to be quite fresh." "Oh, yes, sir; yours is all right," said the waiter. "It's the other old gent's what's off color." And he motioned with his thumb to the ravenous one near by.-New York Tribune. A Devoted Couple.

Insect Eating; Fiants. Plants really are living 'beings, the same sa animals, and, like the latter, they ar? obliged to absorb nourish ment to develop them and to remain alive. But since they cannot, aa do the beings of superior BJ ?ec ie a, go in searob cf this nonrishmtm., most wi them depend on their leaves to draw moisture from the air and their roots to absorb food from the earth* 8ome, however, do not content themselves with the food obtained in this way from tho earth and air. They vary their diet with a little ani mal food. The most remarkable of these carnivorous or animal-eating plants is the Venus' fly trap, which is common in North Carolina. All its leaves radiate from the root and from a spread-out rosette. A strong vein extends from the base to the summit, and their . edges are furnished with stiff, spiny hairs. Each half of the leaf presents a slightly concave surface, strewn with glands. These glands distill a liquor whioh attracts insects. The stiff hairs on the edges are placed in such a manner that the insect whioh hovers near the leaf is almost certain before long to touch one of the hairs. And, as these are endowed with a great ir ritability, when tb 07 are touched the two lobes of the leaf close quickly, one shutting against the other, and they interlace their spiny lashes so firmly that the prey which they have seized cannot escape. So long as the inseot struggles, the leaves remain closed. As soon as it ceases to move the lobes open lightly. The leaf se cretes a digestive juice similar to the gastrio juice of the human stomach, and tho prey is slowly dissolved and absorbed. In France there is a plant found frequently in marshy places which is named the Rossolis. It has the same properties as the Venus. Its leaves are covered with thick hairs, the trans parent glands of which resemble small drops of dew. They close up if an in sect touches them, but if a bit of ruin erai substance is placed on them neith er the leaves nor hairs make a move ment. It is only when an inseot touches them that they dose up. Another plant, the darlingtonia, feeds on inseots, but in a different way. Its leaves form a species of urn, which ordinarily holds some -?ter. On the inside there is also some hon ey, which attracts the inseots. These unhappy animals slip at the, smooth inoline, fall to the bottom and cannot getup again, tor there are sharp hairs that are directed from the top toward the boftom to prevent them. Little by little the plant ' absorbs them, just as does the Venus. But it has an advantage over the latter. It can save its food if it does not wish to eat at once. Its urn is a larder, in whioh it oan heap its provisions up, forming a bountiful reserve on whioh it may draw when it is hungry. If the provision is too abundant for its consumption the dead insects give birth to a great quantity of larvae, which grow and develop quickly in this leafy medium and offer for the appetite of the greedy darlingtonia * choice food-tender, fresh and re newed. Another plant is the serpentaire, whose largo funnel-shaped flower ex hales an insupportable deadly odor, whinh attraots flies from a distance. The> precipitate themselves to the bottom of the tube of the flower whioh secretes the sickening juice and die there. Then the serpentaire, like the Venus, absorbs and devours them. Encouraged. .

"I never saw so mu oh money in all my before, and I never saw as many receipts and due bills and things of that sort at any one time before," ob served the Bohemian who was regal ing his friends, "and it all came ?boot in this way: I had gone out to the races, and everything seemed to drift my way. Riley Grannen? in the very zenith pf his fame as a better, did not approximate the daring and the look which compassed this one's experienc t. I simply played with the wise mon who figure out the percentages from the form sheets, and singularly I was playing against the judgment cf the bookmakers all the time. Horses booked at 100 to 1, and at even longer odds, called for my money. I was do ing something I never did before, playing long-shot horses, and betting to the last penny in my pocket. I won every time. I hauled my money home in a furniture oar. Then a good impulse came to me. I intended to found a few orphan asylums, eu dov; educational institutions in several parts of the oountry, and do other philanthropic work. But tho first thing to do was to pay all my credi tors. It would take too muoh time to call on eaoh one of them, so 1 con cluded that I would rent a hall, insert an advertisement in a morning news paper, and call a convention of my creditors. I rented a big ball, and called on all my creditors to meet mo. They were there on time. The hall was jammed. The meeting will please come to order,' says I. 'My fellow citizens,' says I, 'this is the proudest moment of my lifo,' says I, and they cheered me lustily, 'I am here to pay my honest debts,' says I, and the gen tleman from Missouri got the floor. I announced that I would liko to take my creditors up alphabetically, if there was no objeotion, and that I would like to pay my more recent ob ligations first. Tho fellows who held claims that were barred by the statute of limitation, were inclined to object to this, but when I told them there was no danger of any man being shut out they subsided, and the merry work went on. I never saw so many 'reoeived-in-f ulla' in my life, and in a short while I was almost oovered up with receipts, and I was simply tick led to death. It was a novel thing, and my creditors seemed to be as much tickled as I was over the situation. Finally the last receipt had been handed in and it was incumbent on me, so I felt, to thank my oreditors for their lenienoy in the past, and for meeting in convention at my request, and to make a few complimentary re marks on the mutuality of the good fortune which had fallen upon me. I did so. I thank you again, gentle men,' says I, 'and it now becomes my duty to declare the convention ad journed sine die,' and I brought the gavel down with a good hard rap as I said it. Suddenly I was sprawled out into the middle of the floor. 'It's all right,' growled my roommate, 'for you to oall your creditors convention to gether on my f aoe, and it was ali right for you to use my faoe as a .counting table, while you were paying your creditors, but I'll be d-d if I can stand for that "adjournment sine die" blow.' I orawled back into bed and went to sleep." -New Orleans Demo crat. Served Him Bight. I ouoe heard of a minister who boasted from his pulpit that he was able to preach from any text in the Bible off-hand, without thought or other preparation, and as a test of his talent in extemporaneous speaking* he invited his congregation the next Sunday to hand in any text they would like him to preach from, when he would show them what he was able to do. In order that he might not be suspected of surreptitious pre paration, the passages of scripture to be written upon slips of paper, sealed up in envelopes and placed upon the pulpit immediately before the ser vice. The next Sunday morning the pas tor oame bounding in, pride and confi dence gleaming in his eyes, and found a number of sealed envelopes lying upon the big Bible. After the pre limioary service he called attention to them, and said he would preach from the text contained in the envelope that lay on the top of the pile. The remainder he would reserve for future Sabbaths. Tearing it open he unfold ed a slip of paper and read the words, once addressed to the prophet Balaam : !:Am I not thine ass?"-W. E.

Hen lang jo Bnmkar?s Lire! More interesting and remarkable, perhaps, than any o*h>u disclosure j made by Dr. Dena are those relating i to the capacity of men for drink and ? the duration of Ufa among habituai ; inebriates. On the latter point the < conclusions reached are that in aeriona i cases the duration of life is about fif teen years-the maximum being over 40 , yean. In general, it is said that hard drinking can rarely be oarried on for more than twenty yeera, and it gener ally brings the viotim to grief about the age of 40. Referring to persona who drink most heavily and frequent ly, it is said that it takes ten or fifteen years to bring on dementia or fnsanity, r1 iring which time it may be estima ted that each inebriate consumes about 2,000 gallons of intoxioants. A man 55 years old confessed to Dr. Dana that Le bad been drunk twice a day for three years, making about 2,000 intoxications; another man of 40 had been drunk weokly for 20 years, and a third, aged 43, had been drunk a thousand times in fifteen years. ' Two thousand drunks is set down as the maximum limit in any or dinary inebriate experience. The fa vorite combination for hard drinkers was found to be beer and whiskey, and beer alone came well up in the soale. Other beverages used by inebriates included cocoa, wine, Jamaioa ginger, tincture of soap and a well known proprietary "bitters." A re markable absence of alooholism was found in wine drinkers.-Leslie's Weekly. _ Nose Rebuilt with Paraffine. Surgery has made such rapid strides within the last decade that it is im possible to predict where its ' limit lies, as was again illustrated at tho oity hospital yesterday. In a few days, when the friends of Maud Fra zer visit her again they will scarcely recognize her in the comely girl artis tically rejuvenated by the surgeon's skill Maud Frazer was a pretty girl, but for one feature, and that washer nose. When admitted just a week ago from her home, at 1555 Linn street that prominent adjunct to a pretty face was all awry. In early infancy she became afilicted with catarrh, whioh in its intensity caused the nasal bones to decay, and as the neorosis develop ed they had to be removed. Strange to say, the outer skin was never af fected, but as the mainstay-the bridge and cartilage-wasted away the nose finally collapsed like a balloon from which the air was exhausted. So little support did it have that at length it only became an appendage that would flop-from side to side as she turned her head. It was for the correction of this unsightly defect that she entered the hospital, willing to undergo any form of torture in its repair. When the nose had been eaten away by a malignant disease, such as can- ! cer, surgeons long ago have found a remedy in skin graftiug. In Miss Frazer's case, however, it was neces sary to blow ii up, aa it were, and to restore it to ita natural contour. A practical knowledge, rather than sur gical skill was here necessary to de vise the means and the stan physioian in charge of the case has both. He decided to resort to par Sin, the same article from whioh candles are made. Only in this case the useful product waa sterilized and purified that it might carry no disease germs with it. After it had undergone this process it was reduced to a semi-liquid form, and kept so over a regulated lamp. When all was ready for the operation the girl's face was also carefully ster ilized, and then an antitoxin syringe was brought into requisition. Filled with paraffin, the needle'of the syr inge was then inserted under the skin just where the eyebrows divide, the paraffin slowly injected between the skin and tissue. Slowly tho bulbous nose began to form into its former contour, and after the third injection it looked like a well-developed nose, aquiline, and without its former de fects. With his other hand the sur geon kneaded and shaped it until its form was perfect and the operation was completed. In less than 24 hours the paraffine will have hardened to the consistency of the oartilage that occu pied the space before, and to all in tents and purposes Miss Frazer will have a shapely nose for the rest of ber days.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Getting an Egg in China. An English traveler who has visit ed every nation in the world, is au thority for the statement that one food is universal throughout all coun tries. "There ia not a part of the world," he says, "whera you cannot get an egg." While iu Western China, however, ho at first had some difficulty in getting even eggs. The natives could not not understand him and refused to recognize the pictures he drew as pictures of eggs. "The way I got out of the difficulty," he adds, "was that I squatted down on my haunches, flapped ray wings and cook-a-doodle-doo'd until the entire nation grasped what I wanted, and I was simply provided with hundreds of eggs." Boys Fired on the "Ghost." Colombie, Mo., Sept. 19.-As the result of an uosuooeasf ul attempt to Beare two of his comrades by playing ghost, the 20-year-old son of Willi ? rn Smith is lying in the hospital bere with a bullet in his side and is in a very critical condition. Last Saturday night the two sons of James Garret and John Rice started coon hunting and young Smith station ed himself on the path wrapped in a sheet. When the boys oame along they took a Bhot at the fako ghost, lodging a small target bullet in the side. The victim is now in Parker Hos pital awaiting an operation. When Roosevelt was Challenged. The President of the United States might once have made his appearonoe on the "field of honor." So, at least, ono of the men who knew him when ho was a pale, delicate youth in tho West has just been telling in some carly recollections of Mr. Roosevelt A firo-oating foreign marquis, who owned land on both sides of the Roosevelt ranch, was offended at cer tain alleged tresspaasings on his land, and threatened to kill young Roose velt on sight. Roosevelt made inqui ries of the overseer as to when the killing was to begin, and then came a letter from tho marquis declaring that "between gentlemen such differences could be settled in only one way." Mr. Roosevelt went to one of his men and said, "I don't want to disgrace my family by fighting a duel, but I won't be bullied. Now, as I am tho challenged party, I have the privilege of naming weapons. I am no swords man, and pistols are too uncertain, so I will meet him with Winchester rifles at 10 paces; both to fire until one drops." The result was a denial on the part of the marquis that he intend cd to challenge Mr. Roosevelt, and a statement that he thought their differ enees could be settled without any trouble.-London Chronicle. Too Late. A North Side boy, 5 years of age, who had recently become tho brother of another little boy, was sent to the grocery the other day to get some loaf sogar.

"Oh, I don't like him very much," the little fellow answered. "He cries all the time." "Why don't you ohange him, then, as you do the sugar?" "We can't ohange him now, 'cause we've used him three days."-Chicago Record-Herald. - The light comedian nearly al ways weighs more than the heavy tragedian._ m. ion !>n. ,ld 'he ..'?t., V d ? ng v." ita L * :es _ ve Ars rs.
