It is a little singular, though true, that a wealthy society woman who makes a habit of stealing little things is a kleptomaniac, but if she is poor snd friendless, she is a plain thief, Bavaria can boast of twenty pencil factories, which employ 10,000 people, including men, women and children* Together they produce no fewer than 4,000,000 black and 390,000 colored pencils per week. " Theodore Roosevelt is the youngest republican Governor ever elected in New York stale, being just turned 40. Gov. Black was 43 at the time of bis inauguration. John A. Dix was 73 snd Levi P. Morton 70 It will surprise many of the Christ* mas buyers Co learn that much of the so-called ivory which they purchased is made from skimmed milk and borax. Take the “ivory" rattle boxes, for in stance—the pretty white and colored ones which please the babies so; also many of the combs, billiard balls, back of brushes, looking-glasses, etc —they are usually cut from what is called artificial ivory. r —— ' The Philadelphia Ledger says: “Senator Gray, the only Democrat on peace commiMiou, seems to have reached the came opinion concerning the document that Mr. Bryan has been expressing, but to have reached it by an entirely independent course of reasoning. He, too, holds that the treaty “merely gives us control of the situation; we can do as we please” about retaining or leasing the Philip pines, but thinks we would not keep them. This appears to be the line on which the Democratic party is form ing its position." The Memphis Commercial-Appeal would not be surprised at almost any sort of manifestation of fraternal leek ing between the people of the sections. Il says: “We are living in a fast age and changes have come on us sudden ly. Among these changes none are more surprising and radical than the change in feeling and sentiment throughout the country. If this sens timed grows the day is not far distant when the Republicans of Maine and Massachusetts will be demanding that Jefferson Davis* birthday be made a national holiday. Strange things have happened. The farmer in this day and time must study his business with the same close care and attention to changing conditions that the mer chant and manufacturer give to theirs. The wholesale merchant who would attempt to do a big business as it was done twenty*five years ago would swamp a pretty large capital in short order. He would drop out of the race. The farmer who does not study his soil, who does not understand the use of fertilisers, who is content with fif teen bushels of wheat to the acre when with fertiliser be could get twentysfive, who does not watch his surrounding market, who does not ap preciate the piofits in early fruits and vegetables, in poultry and cattle—this farmer will also drop out and the man who believes the world is advancing and that it has much to teach him will take bis place. We hear farmers discussing with much earnestness banking and financies, expansion and anti-expansion, the tariff and a mer chant marine, but do they know what salts the soil they cultivate contains, what it will best bring forth and what is the for it to Re ceive? The proper education of the farmer and the best way to get him to take an interest in his own business, as paradoxical as the statement seems, is a subject which contains great, re sponsibilities.—Americus Recorder, A YANKEE. Wwrtiwa Ttovva In Wnrions PlaeM as tn Wlrst He le. **l was greatly amused,*’ said a New Orleans cilisen wbo has lately made a visit abroad, "to notice how the term 'Yankee* widens in application as one gets farther and farther away from the habitat of the teal thing. "In New York a Yankee is common ly supposed to be a native of Connecti cut, Vermont or Massachusetts, and I have noticed that the name is applied to mean skinflints rather than to the people in general. In St. Louis a Yankee is understood loosely to be any one from the extreme northeast. Here in New Orleans the term includes pretty nearly everybody above Mason and Dixon’s line —in short, 'northerner* and * Yan kee’ are more or leas synonymous. "Now comes the really absurd part of it, although quite in line with wbat I have just remarked. While I was in London I found myself continually re ferred to as a ’Yankee’ by natives who had learned I was from New Orleans. *1 think you Yankees are very charm ing people,* said a big wholesaler who wanted to be extra pleasant. *1 know several from your state. * I tried to ex plain at first, but I soon got tired of that. I was ante to be greeted by a stare of amazement. ‘But I thought all Americans were Yankees, doneber know,’ would be the usual protest "Later on I met a very intelligent hotel keeper at Bern, in Swianriawb and in the course of conversation he re marked that he had an extremely agree able countryman of mine staying at his house the previous season. 'As you are both Yankees,’he said, ‘you may by chance know him.* ‘Where does he live?’ I asked. ‘ln Buenos Ayres, ’ re plied the hotel keeper.’’—New Orleans TimeS-Dernocrat' ‘ ,1 INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE. They Hare Loae Telephoned by the Use of Drums. Travelers in uncivilized countries have often wondered how some savage tribes were able to transmit news for hundreds of miles with no apparent facilities for doing so. An interesting light is th own on this subject by Jose Bach, who tells of the means by which the Indians on the Amazon communi cate with each other at a distance. The natives live in groups of 100 to 200 persops in settlements half a mile or a mile apart. In each dwelling there is a wooden drum, which is buried for half its height in sand mixed with frag ments of wood, bone and mica, and has a triple diaphragm of leather, wood and rubber. Wbon this drum is struck with a wooden mallet, the sound travels far and is distinctly heard in the other drums in the neighboring dwellings. It is beyond doubt that the transmis sion of the sound takes place through the earth, since the blows struck are scarcely audible outside of the houses in which the instruments are placed. After a “malocca,” or dwelling, has been "called up” by an initial blow conversation is carried on between the two drums. Mr. Bach’s explanation is that the communication is facilitated by the nature of the ground, the drums doubtless resting upon one and the same stratum of rook, since transmission through ordinary alluvial earth could not be depended upon. This method furnishes an ingenious modification of the process employed by Indians for perceiving distant noises, such as the gallop of a horse, which consists in ap plying the ear to the earth.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Uses of Adversity. It is something new to discover that a bodily affliction can assist one in mastering the difficulties of learning a foreign language, but there is a case of the kind on record. Miss Gertrude came down stairs one morning with red eyes, a swollen nose and a generally distressed appearance. “What is the matter, Gertrude?” asked her mother. "An awful cold in my head,” she re plied. “I am very sorry, ” said her sympa thizing parent. "I was when I got up, ” cheerfully rejoined the young miss, “but I’m not now. I can get that French nasal sound exactly. Tray be-ong. Bong zhoor. How’s that?”—Youth’s Companion. A Game Jockey. Tod Sloane’s gameness will never be questioned by those who saw him win a race on Walter in a nose finish at the old East St. Louis track some years ago. After the race Tod was hardly able to dismount. Then it was learned that be had broken an arm in the race. It seems that he was crowded against the fence in a jam around one of the turns and broke his arm. Switching the reins to his good arm, he rode the race out with great determination, putting up a “Garrison finish” and winning on the post by the narrowest possible margin. It was an exhibition of , gameness the like of which was never before heard of in the history of the American turf.— Chicago Record. Twisted Lojflc. It is said that during the Irish rebel lion of 1848 a bishop sent a request to a parish priest for information and re ceived the reply, of the country is assured; faction fights are increasing. ” A similar twist in logic is manifested in a message of congratulation received by Mr. Willis, on his /’lection to the New South Wales parliament. The tel egram from his agent read, “Carnida jubilant; heavy fighting; several hurt, including self.”—London Chronicle. Worthy of Worship. “Faw gwacious sake, deah boy, who was that common fellaw you let shake youah band?” “Deah boy, he may have a common look, but he has agweat soul.

It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the. particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for •• •••• 22 The dividends amounted to 12,028.00 Paid to the estate $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did m>t utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age4o. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845, : Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00 Amount of death claim $17,028,00 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid $8.388 00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000 at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety*-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
