Scarlett of Baltimore in
’or* a favor of some kind set
oat one day to give a young Baltimore
business man some good advice.
“Young man,” he began, “have you
got any cash?”
"Yes, sir,” was tbe reply.
“And have you got any credit?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Humph!” said Reverdy, and he blew
a cloud of smoke Into the air. “Well,
my boy, I’ll just give you this counsel.
Use your credit up first. Your cash is
good at any time.”
A Treacherous Jewel.
If a faded turquoise be dampened Its
color is temporarily restored. The ori¬
entals utilize this quality by carrying
a stone in their mouths and deftly
slipping it into their hands to display
It. Dealers in Meshed guard against
such deceptions by retaining a stone a
few days before purchasing, as the
turquoise is the most treacherous of
jewels.
In the western islands of Scotland
there is no industry which exerts so
much influence upon the conditions of
life as the herring fishery.
A Habit Ho Won’t Contract.
A man who signs himself “A Son of
Rest” sends us the following:
“Several people have asked me why
I never work. I take this means of
replying to all.
“The habit of working is like a habit
of taking dope. If a man is a dope
fiend and stops it he dies. Now, if a
mah gets the habit of working and
then stops it he starves to death. Same
thing. I shall never contract such a
habit”—Cleveland Leader.
To Curo Hay Fever.
Take one pound of ragweed leaves
(with stems, flower and seeds indis¬
criminately or without them), boil in
two quarts of water down to one
quart and strain. Divide this one
quart Into three parts—viz, one pint
and two half pints. On the first day
take one-twelfth of the one pint every
hour—twelve doses. The second day
take one-twelfth of one half pint ev¬
ery hour, and on the third day take
the same quantity—viz, one-twelfth of
one-half pint—Detroit Free Press.
Fish and Salt.
And the mystery still lingers—why
is it necessary to salt a fish caught in
the salt ocean? A sea bass caught off
Seabright requires just as much salt
y» t I,c seasoning as a black bass
caught in the saltless waters of Lake
Erie—New Yors Press.
Only A&ut Five Skins Are Secured
Each Year.
In the estimation of trappers of the
Canadian northland as well as In the
eyes of the nobility of Russia there is
only one king of beasts, the highly
prized black fox. On an average five
perfect pelts of this rare fur bearer
are brought down from the northland
each year and in rare years as many
as ten or twelve, though each year
thousands of men make a living trap
ping and the yearly catch of foxskins
amounts to over 100,000 from Canada
alone.
In no way except in color does the
black fox differ from the red fox,
whose pelt sells for about $2, or from
the gray fox, whose winter coat is
valued at from $150 to $400, but when¬
ever a hunter can secure a black fox
and remove its skin without marring
the fur he Is sure of receiving from
$800 to $1,500 for his trophy. Not only
is every black fox pelt bought as soon
as taken, but a dozen Russian noble¬
men have paid agents traveling in
North America all through the winter
seeking out remote hillside farms and
abandoned logging camps where It is
possible that a shy and elusive black
fox may have been seen.
Within the last twenty years a num¬
ber of wealthy men who have owned
fenced game preserves have spent vast
sums of money in buying foxes alive
and turning them loose within private
lnclosures. By and by it may be that
some skilled or fortunate breeder will
produce a black pup or perhaps a pair
of black foxes may be captured alive,
and from these a new breed of black
foxes will arise nnd cause a great
panic among the men who hunt for
black foxes. He who can wrest the
secret of breeding black foxes from
nature is assured of riches' past count¬
ing and can command the worshipful
homage of the Russian nobility nnd
aristocracy, w ho seem willing to sacri¬
fice untold wealth for the pleasure of
wearing overcoats made from the pelts

The Eternal Servant Question.
In describing the servant of Buenos
Aires a writer in the Bueno6 Aire?
Herald says, “Cook, housemaid, wait¬
ress, chambermaid or nurse, individ¬
ually and collectively, they are the
speefc on the ripe fruit of domestic
felicity, the fly in the ointment, any¬
thing and everything you please that
is bad and slovenly and untrustworthy,
everything, in short, save good serv¬
ants.”
