"I iiddied and they fit and ate each

so Illumed full that they eon Id hardly

and they lit and feasted. .
"When they got down to three,
each one laid hold of another's tail and

Th« Profit# of Soda Water.
■ “Is there much profit in the Boda
water business? V. ell, I should say
there is," remarked a druggist. “The
beauty of the business is that the profit
is unlimited. You can make 100 per
cent, or 1,000, just as easily as not.
It depends on your degree of honesty,
and how you regard the tastes and
stomachs of your customers. If you
wish to retain theirtrade you will give
them a good article, profit 100 per
cent.; if you cater for transient cus
tom you make 1,000 per cent. That is
the difference.
"Ob, well, now I don't care to give
away many of the secrets of the busi
ness! but I don't object to giving the
uninitiated a gentle hiut. I will say
max any rtfniTjie dealer oau, for a
nickel a glass, give a man real fruit
flavors, actual cream and high pressure
water, and still double his money.
Such a decoction |ier glass would cost
two and one-luilf cents, but I will
wager that the average soda water
that is drunk here or elsew here doesn’t
coat more than a cent, and sometimes
less than that.
“To begin with, a saving is often
made in lowering the pressure, and
the result is the water doesn’t sparkle.
It is insipid, and you instinctively feel
when you drink It that it lacks some
thing. Then the alleged fruit flavors
are made out of cheap ethers and other
volatile substances. True, they are
not harmful and they can be guzzled
with impunity, but the delicate aroma
is not tnere and the cost is a trifle.
For a dollar a dealer atm make a large
quantity of these cheap flavors. Choco

adulterated. As for the Saratoga wa

L'ned to Killing Thoroughbred*.
A wealthy rancher of Wyoming
territory recently related a story of a
rich young Englishman who, while
looking about the west for good in
vestments, visited his ranch. He
stayed there a few days, and oue after
noon as tlie cowboys were about to
round up a bunch of cow ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy
a good ride in the saddle. He said he
was used to ridiug only thorough
breds, and he didn't think they had a
horse good enough for him. Trie boys
convinced him that they had one of
the finest 1 torses on the plains, and if
he knew how to ride he was welcome
to the uniuiul.
He was apparently insulted when
questioned about (usability to ride and
answered that he could ride any kind
of a horse. A sleepy looking bronco
was brought out from the corrals and
saddled. Though he apjKMirod half
dead ho wits the worst hucker in the
herd. “ 'E's lifeless," said the foreign
er, when the pony was brought to
him. The boy said the “nag” would
wake up ufteu the first mile, and the
visitor got into the saddle. He didn’t
linger long. The first buck jump
placed hi in on the horse's neck, and
after a second he was in the atmos
phere. He turned a double somer
sault and landed on the sharp end of a
cactus plant. When he picked him
self up one of the hoys asked whut he
thought of the thoroughbed now.
The question made the Englishman
turn pule. “ ’E's a good ’oss "he an

I>efaiis4» of the Small Htfjr.
It is unfortunately the case that
every small boy 'j not in a position
financially to become the owner of a
pair of roller skates. Only the excep
tional youth enjoys such a possession.
Does one, then, see these lucky fledg
lings of manhood skating about over
the asphalt in proud consciousness of
their superior means of pleasure und
locomotion? Quite otherwise. One
does observe roller skates in use on
every hand, but It is rarely that a sin :
gle small boy is using two of them at
once. Almost invariubly he is seen
sliding along on one skate wi'.h a suc
cession of Impulses conveyed by the
other unstated foot.
Now, why should this be so? For
what reason is it that the small txiy so
seldom has more thairooe skate? Mini
ply because he has either lent the other
skate to acorn {Million or borrowed from
him the one he has on. Thus you will
ordinarily see these small boys skating
in pairs, each with one skat*', and so
dividing tlie sport. Rarely does it ap
pear that the owner of a pair of skates
uses them both himself instead of
sharing the pleasure with a friend.
Who savs, then, that tlie small boy
is a selflsfi being!—Washington Star.

DO YOU HIRE A PIANO!
If So Your MiuSc; 1m Very Costly, at Lea*t
So Say* a I>«*aler in
“The business of renting piunos is
the most profitable one I know of,”
said u Washington dealer in that line
very frankly.
“In the first place, no really expen
sive piano is ever routed; the risk
would be too great for one thing. One
could not afford to intrust to a
stranger an instrument worth from
SBOO tosl,Boo, which is abopt the range
for the finest makes. The piunos hired
out are of a lower grade, worth from
SBOO to $500.”
“But what is the charge!”
“Usually alxiut $8 a month.”
“That is nearly $10« a y«ar. Pretty
good interest, 1 should say-, on a S3OO
piano.”
“Decidedly so. That is just the
point of my remark. I dorrt know
•qy other investment that pays from
25 to 30 per cent.-per annum. We
have twenty pianos let all the time,
and you can jiereeive that they must
bring about $2,000 a year.”
"What is the life of a piano!”
“Fifteen years, with fair usage. At
the end of that time the instrument is
not apt to be capable of further ser
vice, but in the meantime we have
cleared SI,OOO or $l,lOO 6n it, so we
are satisfied.”
“Borne people, though, probably
give a piano very unfair usage!”
“Often that occurs. It is a source
of loss to us unavoidably, but we can
afford to endure it. You see, persona
who rent piunos arc not likely to be so
careful of them :i« if they were their
own property. They let their chil
dren bang upon them, and that is al
ways very injurious. The keys are so
carefully pivoted that if they are
struck sideways instead of perpendicu
lar they are apt to be thrown out of
gear. An active infant in this way
and by pounding can do u good deal
of hurt to a piano in a comparatively
short time. And maybe tlie $8 a
month won’t pay for it. Or the ac
tum, which includes the keys und all
those complicated inside works which
make the communication between the
keys und hammers, may be loosened,
and then there is nothing to do but to
send the piano back to the factory and
have anew action put in. which costs
from S4O to SSO. People have other
ways besides this of injuring an instru
ment.”
"Such as what, pray!”
“Why, they wili subject a piano to
extremes of boat and cold. That is al
ways destructive. For example, on a
cold winter day the servant will throw
open the windows of the overheated
parlor and let the freezing air come in,
and no member of the family will
probably know any better than to do
such a thing. As a consequence, the
sounding board is warped and cracked,
and the wires are rusted and other
damage doae. It would be a great
deal less injurious if the domestic had
poured several pailfuls or cold water
into the instrument. There is a piano
over in that corner which was in a
house that caught Arc, and afterward
we pumped fourteen gallons of water
out of it. Yet it has served very well
ever since and has retained a remarka
bly good tone. Sometimes the case of
the instrument is marred and scratch
ed, hut that does not amount to so
much.”
"Do peoplo e.ver steal the pianos
they rent from ybu and run away with
them!" .
“It has never happened to us,
though sucli things are sometimes
done. We have been very lucky in
that way. The people we nave more
trouble with than those to whom we
rent pianos arc the buyers on install
ments. Profit is ordinarily found in
selling pianos that way, because neces
sarily a greater price is charged in
such cases than if cash were paid. But
often it happens that pianos so pur
chased come buck on our hands
after three or four months with
a loosened action and other damage
done that costs more to repuir than we
have received for the piano, the usual
method being to pay something like
$25 down and to give notes of hand
for $lO each, fulling due monthly, for
the balance. It goes without saying
that installment customers often de
fault iu their payments, and then we
simply grab the pianos. People who
purchase in that way never seem to be
awure that in law an article so bought
remains the property of the teller un
til the last cent due has been paid. So,
in order to have that little fact thor
oughly comprehended, we introduce it
as a part of tlie contract which the cus
tomer is obliged to sign before he gets
the instrument.—Washington Star.
Deacon Ingnthain and the Hoar.
A boar belonging to Florence Dona
hue, a wealthy Irishman of Rockland,
attacked Deacon Hiram Ingraham in
his barn, whither ho had stra_\ ed,
rushed between his legs, upset him,
carried him twenty-five feet to the
edge of a high walk, where the deacon
fell off and the hoar, weighing 400
pounds, fell on top of him, breaking
his thigh. The deacon was laid up a
long time and may bo lauie for life, as
he is 78 years old.
No settlement having been effected,
the deacon sued Donahue for $2,000
damages. The defeuso denied that
Donahue owned the hoar, and said
that he had sold him to his sou Frank,
and showed Frank's book to prove the
wale. Plaintiff's counsel contended
that the entries were fraudulent and
made subsequent to the deacon's inju
ries, in a different ink and after the
other accounts hud been fooled up and
transferred to the ledger. Thus the
case went to the jury, which, after
having been out a short time, returned
a veruict of $57T,23 for the deacon.—

THE VERY BEGINNING
Something A*<mt Formation of Thl*
World h» ft “Whirled In Bpac«.”
In the burning mass tliat com{)osed
our earth at first, there existed copper,
sulphur and all the other substances
that are on and in our earth now, only
all were in a gaseous state. The cold
bad not yet hardened them intosolkls.
They tell us that this collection of
burning material belonged originally
to tlie sun, and was thrown off from It
iq consequence of a natural law, and
sent “whirling in space.” IX) you un
derstand what that word “space"
means? This globe of ours is wrap
ped up in a huge cloak, some forty
miles thick, called the atmosphere.
Beyond this thick envelope stretches
far away thut unknown region called
“space. ” What are its boundaries, no
one can tell us. Whether it holds
other worlds than ours we can only
?;uesß. But one thing about it is known
or certain, which is. that it is very
cold. Its temperature is about 200
degs. below zero; so we have need of
our thick, warm atmosphere.
What effect did this intense cold
have upon the mass of fiery gas, sent
spinning out through its depths? Just
tlie same effect that the colu mountain
I leaks have upon the vapor of water,
t cooled the gases upon the outside,
hardened them, und m the course of
time formed a thin crust. This wus
God’s first day of creation, and some
men think it was equal to thousands
and thousands of our years—may lie
millions bdßauso this forming of tlie
crust must have been slow work.
First, little patches of gus became
solid. Then these floated togetherand
perhaps succeeded in making one crust
joined all over— and a hot, rumpled
crust it was! Then the boiling, seeth
ing mass inside broke through, and
the work had to be done all over
again.
When the vapor of water was con
densed, rain began to fall.
Then came another struggle. As
quickly as tlie ruin fell on the hot
crust, it was changed into vapor again,
and sent up into the air to repeat its
work. What a boiling, steaming, hot
ball this world must have beeu!
During all this time there were ter
rilic peals of thunder and flashes of
lightuing. Whenever any liquid is
changing into a vapor, electricity is
produced; and when so vast a quan
tity of water was changing into steam,
the intensity and frequency of the
lightning must have been immeasura
bly beyond anything we can imagine.
If only we could have boon at a safe
distance above this steaming world and
looked dctwn v on it, what a sight we
shoul4 have seen, and what deafening
pealsof thunder we should have heard 1
Even though the rain was almost
immediately changed into vapor, it
must have cooled the earth’s crust a
little, coining directly from the icy
realms of space. Aud at last came a
duy when the cold conquered the heat,
und the crest became cool enough for
the water to stay down. It filled up
all the crucks and crannies, and there
was so much of it that only a little bit
of .the earth’s crust could peep above
its surface. Of our own continent,
only a narrow strip of land, extend
ing from what is now Nova Beotia to
where the great lake's were to be, and
thence westward to the region now
culled Alaska, remaining inxive the
waters. In the place now occupied
by Europfe, there were many little
patches, but ho land so extensive as
the strip in the western hemisphere.
Thick, dark vapors brooded over the
earth and shut out the light of the sun.
And these gloomy vapor*, the little
pieces of dry, hot crust and the surg
ing, boiling waters, wore tihe begin
nings out of which God was to make
our beautiful world, with its pure air,
its blue sky and snowy clouds, its dense
woods and fertile fields, its hills and
valleys, its lakes and rivers.
There could have been no life in
thoradays— neither plant life nor uni
mat 'life. In place the crust
wus too hot; neither uniinul nor plant
could live on it, nor in the waters that
touched it. In the second place, uni
rnals and plants cannot live without
sunlight; and no sunlight could
pierce those masses of heavy vapor.—

Fiction 111 lltMlflll.
From the last report of the director
of public instruction in Bengal on the
vernacular of the Presidency during
the past yeur it appears that fiction
and {Kietry both flourish, and that
works in both are increasing largely;
but it is doubtful whether the sub
stance or form of Indian fiction lias
beeu improved by our occupation of
the country. For instance, a great
change is said to luivr come over the
writers iu Bengal. The younger gen
eration of writers of works of fiction
is permeated with the melancholy idea
that a happy state of things is {Missing
away, uuuer the influence of western
civilization, never to return. The lead
ing work of the year is based on this
idea; it describes the fate of a family,
the young men of which begin to
doubt the wisdon of the head and to
think for themselves; disputes and
divisions follow ; they lose their good
name, and finally, by an awful fate,
the family dies out altogether. —St.
