The Troedel market is on a little is land in the heart of the old town of Nuremberg. Along the north branch of the river is an old, low eaved house with a little darkling doorway. When you have got so far you are met by a ittle old man-a rusty little man who ooks as though he were made of metal -who leads you into the great mysteri >s warehouse of toys. Round all the walls they are ranged -guns, cannons, motors, steamships, trumpets, sabers, and everywhere the soldiers. How many millions of metal oldiers have marched away from the rroedel market not even the rusty old man .could tell you-mighty articles of. pewter and tin. Hundreds of regiments, of battalions, )f divisions, are drawn up on the helves, waiting for the day when they lmll be sent out into battle. And rith a kind of pride the rusty old man says. "They are edifying soldiers." That is the German way of putting t. What it means Is that each army illustrates a battle or a campaign the war of Troy, the campaigns of lexander, the exploits of Coeui de Lion, the war of thirty years, the siege of Orleans, the victories of Na oleon, the battles of 1870 and (the me I liked best) that desperate battle n which a tiny tin hero with gleam ng teeth rough rode it up San Juan ,111.

What chance has the diner out of being completely happy? The mere ctions of eating and drinking are nei ther pretty nor conducive to showing people at their best. It is really a most uncouth sight to see a man or a woman stoking fo6d. The necessity )f being polite at the same time makes [t uncomfortable as well. No sooner ave you got into conversation with a pleasant woman than the soup in your mustache stops all Inspiration. She Cicspises you for your play with your apkin, and your mustache is out of hape. And who can feel that the vening is going to be what he hoped when he realizes that his shirt front is 5mirched with some relic of the meal? Indeed, dinner parties are -really a truggle between eating and talking, a truggle which does not always end, s do most things, in the survival of the fittest As one can't speak with me's mouth full and first hunger must be appeased, conversation and eating -o on rather as a game, the one person whipping up some food while the other Is speaking and then in his turn speak [g in order to enable his partner to -et some nourishment To talk or to mat might be a sensible question at the beginning of dinner, but it is not one likely to be asked. One Is seldom sure which is least worth sacrificing, the rood or the conversation. How much simpler it would be if we fed apart md indulged in conversation after ward.-Macmillan's. Shingling a House. And I looked and beheld seven car >enters shingling a house. They were iuling up bundles or shingles that iad been lying in the rain for two lays and nailing them on one by one. :~n a few days the shingling will be lone. Then the painter will come long with his ladders and brushes mnd stains, and 5,300 will be spent by he owner of the cottage to have it :horoughly dabbed. And In a little rhile the sun wili shine, and all the ~hingles will buckle, some up, some lwn, until the cottage will resemble tfrizzled chicken. And there will be eaks and cursings s'nd lamentations. ow, brethren, why not be sensible in hese small matters? Painters are not ieeded at all in a case of this kind. Keep your shingles dry; buy a few >rrels of stain; soak the shingles in he stain and throw them on the grass : dry; then nail them to the clap Joards. They will never buckle, they vi never leak, and you have saved 1300.-New York Press. Forest Air. There Is a general impression that he humidity of the air Is greater in be woods than in the open fields. Ehis is contradicted, however, by the esult of observations made in Ger nany. It was found there that the ummdity, both relative and absolute, Vas slightly greater in the open than n the woods, and this was true equal y In the morning and In the after oon. As to the temperature of the tir among the trees, it was a trifle igher than in the open in the morn ng and In a more marked degree in lie afternoon. A Comparison.

The Way a Bridegroom Got the Laugh cn His "Funny" Chum. Under the thin disguise of harmless fun iminy i unp:irdonile rude prank is played upon newly married couples. It is refreshing to hear of an occasion al instance in which the -joke" reacts on the joker. A young nian and his bride, who had just becen married In a western town, were starting on their wedding journey. They had managed to reach the train In safety despite the showers of rice and old shoes. . Just as they had taken their seats in the car one of the bridegroom's chums came hastily in to bid him goodby. As the young husband extended his hand the friend snapped a handcuff round his wrist The groom had been suspecting a trick of some kind, and before the practical joker could play a similar trick on the bride he found the other handcuff snapped round his own wrist: He was chained to the happy bride groom himself. "That's a. good one on me, Harry," he said, with a sickly kind of smile, "but I'll have.to ask you to come to the door with me -and get the key to these things from the. fellow outside that's got it Hold on, conductor, just a min ute!" But the conductor, whose quick eye had taken in the situation, refused to wait He gave the order for starting, and the train pulled out It was a through train and made no stop for the next fifty miles. Before It stopped, however, the brakeman, with the aid of a sharp file and a hammer, succeed ed In releasing Harry. The practical joker meanwhile had had to pay full fare for the fifty miles and still had his fare home to pay. FRENCH SENTIMENT. The Way It Classifies the Greatest Men of the Nation. The Petit Parisien in 1906 conducted a very Interesting plebiscite, the object of which was to ascertain who, in the opInion of its readers, were the ten greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth century. More than 15,000,000 votes were given, and the result was that Pasteur came out at the top of the poll with 1,338,425 votes. The next were Victor Hugo, who received 1,227,103 votes; Gambetta 1,155,672, Napoleon 1,118,034, ThIers 1.039,453, Lazare Car not 950,772, Curie 851.107, A. Dumas pere 850,602.. Dr. Roux 603,941 and Parmentier 498,863. Immediately fol lowing were Ampere, the electrician; Brazza, the explorer; Zola, Lamartine and Arago. It will be observed with interest how large is the proportion of scientific men in the number of those who, In the opinion of Frenchmen, occupy the highest places in the records of the country. Napoleon is only fourth, though Pasteur heads the list, and Curie, Roux and Parmentler, the chem ist who introduced the culture of the potato into France, are also honored, while Ampere and Brazza are not far behind. - Literary men and--statesmen dispute with the scientists for the highest distinctions, and the national entiment of France is evidently ec ectic. Chine and Character. Those familiar with the portraits of the great soldiers of the American civil war can hardly fail to have been struck by the curious family likeness which- runs through their dour deter mined visages. It is scarcely too much to say that this military type is practi cally extinct in America now. Almost to a man these long faced, sallow he roes were tobacco chewers, as were also many of the prominent statesmen of the same period. It was, however, by no means exclusively an American custom. Most people of middle age can remember among sailors and workingmen of Great Britain men yth long angular jaws and wrinkled, sallow cheeks resembling those of that extinct ruminant, the "typical Yankee" of caricature.-Dr. Louis Robinsen in Blackwood's. Bitten by a Spider. Through blood poisoning caused by a pider bite, John Washington, of Bos ueville, Tex., would have lost his leg, which became a mass of running sores, ad he not been persuaded to try Buck Len's Arnica Salve. He writes: "T be first application relieved, and four box s healed all the sores." Heals every sore. 25c. at The Arant Co. Drug Store AN EARLY CALL Mark Twain's Story About His Ab sentminded Brother. One bitter December night Orion Mark Twain's brother) sat up reading ntil 3 o'clock in the morning and then, without looking at a clock, sallied forth to call on a young lady. He hammered and hammered at the door; couldn't get any response; didn't understand it Anybody else would have regarded that as an Indication of some kind or other and would have drawn infer mces and gone home, but Orion didn't draw inferences. He merely hammered and hammered, and finally the father f the girl appeared at the door In a dressing gown. He had a candle in i1s hand, and the dressing gown was all the clothing he had on, except an expression of welcome, which was so thick and so-large that it extended all own his front to his instep and nearly bliterated the dressing gown. But Orion didn't notice that this was an unpleasant expression. He merely walked in. The old gentleman took him into the parlor, set the candle on a table and stood. Orion made the usual remarks about the weather and sat down--sat down and talked and talked and went on tfalking, that old aan looking at him vindictively and waiting for his chance, waiting treach erously and malignantly for his chance. Orion had not asked for the young lady. It was not customary. It was understood that a young fellow came to see the girl of the house, not the founder of It At last Orion got up and made some remark to the effect that probably the young lady was busy and he would go now and call again.

The Kind You Have Always Bought THE BOMBMAKER. He Makes an Apparently Harmless Let-:ar a Deadly Machine. So experi are bombmakers nowadays that an apparently harmless letter may kill any person who tries to open it. A piece of cardboard Is cut to a size which, when folded over,.wil fit into an ordinary envelope. The four cor ners of this are slit into narrow strips. Fulminate of mercury is spread over three of the slits, and the sheet Is folded and fastened together. Projecting from each side of the folded sheet Is a little. metal strip, or detonator, glued to the cardboard in such- a manner that -the envelope cannot be opened.. without striking one of them. Upon meeting 2 this slight resistance the hand-moving the paper cutter instinctively pushes harder, and the result is- an explosion that either kills or maims. The easiest bomb to construct Is set in operation by simply 4urning It up side down. It Is usually a good sized cracker box, lined with paper and half filled with a mixture of, chlorate of potassium. and ordinary sugar. Into -, this a bottle of a powerful aeid Is in troduced. The reimainder of the space In the box is filled with scraps of metaL Then the lid is. soldered on. All that is. then necessary Is toplace the box upside down at the spotn. which- It is to explode. The. acideats quickly through the cork of the bottle and comes in contact with the chlorate of potassium. As a result of the chem ical combination which takes place-. there Is a terrifle explosion.-.Chicago News. THE ESPOUSAL' Ancient Ceremony of . the Mutual Promise- of-Marriage. The first part of the matrimonial of fice was anciently termed theespousa which took. place some time prior to the actual celebration of marriage. These espousals consisted. In a mutual promise of marriage, which was made by the man and woman before the bishop or presbyter and several wit nesses. After them the articles of agreement of marriage, called .tabuloe matrimo niales, which are mentioned by Augus tine, were signed by both persons. Aft er this the man delivered to the wom an the ring and other gifts, an action which was termed subarrhation. In the latter ages the -espousals have al ways been-,performed at the-same time - as the office of matrimony in allthe churches- abroad, and it has long been customary for the ring to be delivered to the- woman after the contract.has been made, which has always been In the actual office of matrimony. The ring is a special token of. spous age. In some of the old-manuals for the use of foreign cathedrals- before the minister proceeds to the marriage he Is directed to ask the woman's dowry-viz, the. tokens. of spousage- . and by these tokens of spousage are to be understood rings or money or some other things.to be given .to the woman by the man, which giving Is called wedding or covenanting. espe cially when It is done by the glvlng of a ring.-New York Tribune. "The Conduct of Life." Under this head Ralph Waldor Emer son wrote: "-'Tis an estimable hint I owe to a few persons of fine manners that they make behavior the very first - sign of force-behavior, not perform ance or talent, or, much less; wealth. While almost anybody- has a suppli cating eye turned on events and things and .other persons, a few natures are central and forever unfold, -and -these --- alone' charm us. He whose word or -' deed you cannot predict, who - answers you without any supplication In his eye, who draws his-determination from. within, that man- rules." Mr. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W. Va., writes: "I was a sufferer -from kidney disease, so that at times L-could not-get out of bed, and- w'-en I did I could- not stand straight. I 'took Foley's Kidney Cure. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me intirely." Foley's Kid- - ney Cure works wonders where others -- are total failures. The Arant Co. Drug Store. PIE BIRDS OF BRITTANY. They Must Be Pretty Strong, Accord ing to This- Breton Story. "Speaking of exaggerations." said a traveler, "reminds me of the pie bird story of the Breton farmer. "There was a farmer in Brittany who wished to tell a. visifor- how- his farm had been overrun with pies. Pies, you know, are large birds; black and = - white, with long tails-a kind-of crow. The farmer said the pies devastated his fields horribly. -If he put up scare crows, the birds tore them down. One day his young son ran into the granite farmhouse and shouted: "'Oh, father, hundreds and hundreds of birds! The wheat Is being all eaten~ up!' "The farmer loaded his gun. . But where was the shot? It couldn't - be found. He put in a few handfuls -of tacks instead. Then he ran out The - wheatfield was black and white, like a - checkerboard, with pIes. The farmer gave a loud yell, and the birds all flew up Into a tall poplar. He fired,~ and. lo, every bird was nailed fast to the tree. They were nailed fast Their flapping wings filled the air with a loud whir. The farmer, amazed, stood watching them. Then a strange thing happened. The birds, with one grand united efrort, pulled up the huge tree and flew away with it." She-I car - - --- Busted wan- - - - half a mil He-Yes, an. it still. Th:. .. -------- -- Up.
