GRIEF AND GREED. Sorely Afflicted, Yet He Kept an Eye on the Main Point. The following mno:nunication was eentlv addressed by a grief stric-1en rman husband to the secretary of a e insurance company in Germany: "Sir-Deeply al"lieted, I take up my pen to inform you that my dear wife, Anne Maria, nee I,-, insured in your company for the sum of $750. has sud denly died, leaving me a victim to the deepest despair. This grievous blow fell on me this morning at 7. Kindly endeavor to let me have ty insuraice \rmoney as promptly as possible. The 1policy bears the number -, as you will find by reference to your books. "I may say very seriou'ly and in all sincerity that she was a faithful wife a'd an admirable mother. In order that all formalities may be settled 'vith promptitude I inclose herewith a certificate officially recording her death. "Her illness was but a short one. Nevertheless she suffered intensely, which naturally renders my grief all the more poignant. I have no doubt that you will afford me partial conso lation by sending on the insurance money as promptly as possible. "In return I hereby formally prom ise to have my second wife insured in your company for $1,500, double the sum for which my defunct darling was insured. "My grief is immense, yet the con viction that you will afford me conso lation sustains me during this terrible ordeal. In the hope that we shall soon draw our insurance money, my children join me in." etc.-Exchange. His Shrewd Idea. "Who is that sour looking girl with the heavy underjaw?" "That is the only daughter of old De Milyuns." "And who is the dainty bit of sweet ness with the blue eyes and golden hair?" "That's the chaperon." "What's 6e explanation?" "Why, it's old De Mfilyun's clever idea. He thinks his Jane wil be per fectly safe as long as Miss Blossom is around."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Easy.

With Chronicles as its authority, the Plumbers' Trade Journal says that the bathroom was an invention of King Solomon, who put it in use a thousand years before the Christian era. It was sinful to enter the sanctuary unless the body was perfectly clean, and for the accommodation of priests a bath tub was erected at the entrance to the temple. It was said of Solomon, "He made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim round in compass and five cubits the height thereof, and .a line of thirty cubits did compass It roundabout." According to the meas urements, the Solomonian tub was for ty-five feet In circumference at the top and six and one-half feet deep. It rested on carved figures of oxen and as of solid brass cast In one piece, decorated with a floral design. Con nected with it there were ten small inks, which were used for washing 'e offering. Men Who Cheat Themselves. I have known employees actually to work harder in scheming. shirking, trying to keep from working hard in the performance of their duties, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Mag azine. than they .would have worked if they had tried to do their best and had -given the largest, the most liberal service possible to their employers. The hardest work In the world is that which is grudgingly done. The youth who is always haggling over the ques tion of how many dollars and cents he will sell his services for little realizes how he is cheating himself by not look ing at the larger salary he can pay himself in increasing his skill, in ex panding his experience and in making himself a better, stronger, more useful man. L College Foclishness Barred. 5"John," said the farmer, "I've given you the best education the college had in the shop." "e,sir." "Never sodback fer expense?2" "Never." "You speak six languages?" S"Perfectly." "So fur, so good. Now, listen. Don't swear at the mule In Greek. Don't use no Latin terms to him, an' fling no French his way. Use the Georgy dialect that you an' the mule wuz Sraised to. It's my opinion that the mule won't stand no college foolish ness."-Atlanta Constitution. Judge Hoar's Retort. Judge Hoar and General Butler were opponents in a case of a new trial. General Butler quoted. "Eye for eye, skin for skin, tooth for tooth-yea, all that a man hath-will he give for his life." To which Judge Hoar replied, "Yes, the devil quoted that once before in a motion for a new trial." There is no tyrant like custom and nao freedom where its edicts are not 9esisted.--Bovee.

Dr. Clifford tells of an amusing ad venture which 'happened on on ocoa sion whein he was conducting a mis sion service at Carr's Lane, Birming ham. Arriving only a few minutes before the commencement, the doctor was refused admission by the police man at the door. I want to go in." said Dr. Clif ford. "Are you a seat holder'?" asked the officer. "Then you ecan't go in.'' "I think." remarked the famous passive register, "that there will be room for me in the pulpit." "I am not sure of it,'" retorted tihe other.
