Julian Kahn, of San Francisco, Cal,, made a speech in Congress on Jan. 25th of great interest to our peo ple. He showed settlement by insur ance companies of all losses oansed from fire and earthquake when San Francisco was» destroyed.

Every company, ex cept two, that paid 100 cents on the dollar without discounting a single policy one cent is represented here by W. J. Harris & Co. SACRED THREADS. The Cord* Worn by (lie Three Tauten , of (lie Hindoo*. The sacred thread of the Brahmans is well known, it Is a easte distinction assumed at an early age and never parted with. It must be made by a Brahman and should consist of three strands, each of a different color, for- ty-eljdit yards in length, doubled and twisted together twice, the ends tied in knots. It must be worn next the skin, over the left shoulder. Imaging down to the thigh on the right side. The three cpsites of the Hindoos are distinguished l*y the material of these threads—cotton for the ftrahmans. hemp for the warriors and wool for the artisans. The Pur sees also wear the sacred thread, and boys of seven or nine are Invested with it. the threads used being made always of fibers or the suru tree. Monler Williams de scribes the sacred girdle of the Par sees as made of seventy-two woolen threads, forming a flat band, which Is twined three times around the body and tied in two peculiar knots, the se cret of which Is known only to the Parsees. The use of “medicine cords’* is com mon among North American Indians. Mr. Bourke describes those worn by the Apaches. These consist of one. two. three and four strands, to which are attached shells, feathers, beads, rock crystal, sacred green stones and other articles, doubtless employed sym bolically.—Chambers* Journal. Kle THE PARIS CLUSS. Ht E* IIumI Election to the exclusive clubs of Paris is a very serious business. The proposer and seconder must not only know all about their candidates, but be able to bear witness to their ante cedents and even to their forefathers. They must write to all their friends and ask them to support their candi dates. When the election takes place, they must uot only he in the room, but approach each member Individually ns be comes up to the ballot box and ask him for his support. When the member has been elected, he arrives the first day as a kind of stranger and with his hat in hand. lie is then formally Introduced by one of his proposers to each member sepa rately who happens to !>e III the room at the time. On the second occasion he has ceased to be a stranger and may leave his bat in tbe hall: but he is still expected to go round the room with one of his proposers and be formally Introduced. This lasts for a week, by which time he is assumed to know all bis colleagues, though a foreigner who is extra punctilious and insists on be ing Introduced to every member of the club gains considerably In popularity. —London Saturday Review. EASY DOOR FASTENERS. Only One Kind ol Lock tlie Id* pert Unrylar Cun’C Pick. “There’s only one lock In the world that 1 can’t open if you'll give mo a few minutes ut it. and as for ordinary door and drawer locks, I’ll open them as easily as If there was no lock there. Any expert burglar can do the same.” The foregoing statement was made by an experienced locksmith of Kan sas City. “Few pewoiu know how Insecure their homes are.” lie continued. “Few persons realize that the average lock Is absolutely worthless fur keeping out au experienced burglar. The ordinary door lock is good for nothing hut re minding casual business or social call ers that they must ring to he admitted. None of these ordinary ’door fasten era.’ and that's the best you can call them, will deter u burglar two whole minutes. If there's no key in the lock, he soon tits one to It. If there Is a key In the look, he Inserts a pair of pinch ers and in ten seconds has it opened. I ndersinud me. I am speaking of the experienced burglar. The clumsy bur glar is the one who gets in trouble, lie'il fumble around with n lock until somebody bears him. There is only one unpieknhle look made. That's the six pin loo^i used by the government. It will defy*any expert. There are six little steel pins in the lock, which have to be raised Just a certain dis tance to open it. Annie of the plus are one-fourth of an inch long and some of them a hi,If inch. If one of the phis lacks even a hairbreadth of being raised the proper distance, the lock will rot open. It battles all the ex ports.” This locksmith Is so expert be cun open'the majority of safes by putting Ills ear to the combination and listen ing to bow the tumblers click Into place as he turns it. “I intended ut one time to be a bur glar.” this locksmith declares. “I had it all planned out—even had a set of burglar's tools made. Then 1 decided that honesty was the best policy, aud I stuck to my trude.”- Kansas City Star. THE SHREW MOUSE. Some tjncvr Superstition* About » Handle** I,idle Animal. The shrew, or shrew mouse, as It is commonly ended, is found in nearly aP parts of the world. It is distinguished by nn elongated, pointed muzzle, small <*yes. plantigrade, six toed feet aud glands that secrete a musky fluid. A1 together it closely resembles a mouse, but it Is really not related to the mouse family. When at home It is either under a pile of rubbish or In a hole which it has burrowed in the earth. It is nocturnal in its habits, but perfectly harmless, yet ot .one time it was much disliked and persecuted because It was thought to be a dangerous, mischievous animal. Among the Italians the notion was prevalent that the bite of a shrew was extremely poisonous. The French and the English believed that if a shrew ran over air animal’s foot the animal felt great pain and eventually became paralyzed; hence If a horse, a cow or n goat became n little stiff in Its limbs the foolish people at once declar ed It “shrew struck.” and the poor shrews had to suffer In consequence. Of course the “shrew struck” animal had to have something to cure It, so an ash tree was selected, and a deep hole was bored Into Its trunk. Then a shrew was captured, put alive Into the hole, the hole was securely plugged, and the Innocent little animal was left to die of starvation. The ignorant believed that after such au act the ash tree had power to cure “shrew struck” animals, and whenever an animal became Inactive or a little numb In Its limbs Its owner hurried to the “shrew ash." cut a switch from It and switched the “shrew struck" beast. The smarting caused by the switching naturally made the helpless animal move about as much as It possibly could, ami In a short time it was pro nounced cured. A fatillnnt Highway man. A highwayman recently held up a gasoline runabout on the outskirts of Koine. The highwayman stopped the runabout with a shot in the air. Then he ran forth from the tomb that had concealed him—the holdup happened on the Appian Way—aud found to his sur prise only a woman hi the little car. “Where, madam. Is your husband?” he demanded sternly aud suspiciously. "He's under the seat,” she answered, flushing. “Then." said the highwayman. ”1 will take nothing. "It's bad enough to have a husband like that without being robbed into the bargain."

Involution ot Client ltd ry. The first chemists were the alchem ists. who for hundreds of years vainly tried tQ make gold by compounding va rious chemicals. Chemistry was intro duced into Spain by the Moors In 1150. and the Chinese and Egyptians claimed an early acquaintance with It. Bowev- er, chemistry was not a science until the seventeenth century. Boerbaave was the first to combine the study of chemistry with medicine, and since theu Its evolution has been rapid. The many friends of Mr. W. It. Pitts, who recently returned from Texas, are triad to know that he has accepted his old position in the clothing store of Mr. W. K. Holmes.
