SQUARED ACCOUNTS.
Alsc Won a Reputation and Saved
Himself Further Trouble.
Press agents, like other individuals,
have their troubles, but there is one in
Philadelphia who bas fewer of them
than the ordinary man. Asked one day
how he managed so well to get along
with everybody, he explained:
“Well, I won a reputation. You see,
svhen a press agent is able to give a
man heart disease from which he ac-
tually dies his troubles cease if persons
have a proper regard for their lives. 1
was the press agent for a German
singing fest. | naturally used the Ger-
man papers.
“There was one editor who had the
jdea that he wasn't getting all that
was due. Nevertheless he published
column after column of type and ple-
tures,
“Afterward the managers of the
show received a bill for $820 ‘for ad-
vertising.' They were in a rage. ‘What
shall we do?” they demanded. ‘Don’t
get excited,’ | cautioned 'em. hn fix
that all right.’
“I went to the office of a friend, and,
going to the type cases, 1 stuck the
finest billhead you ever laid eyes on. I
printed it In two inks. It read, ‘The
Two Continents Engraving Company;
John Smith, manager” Next I wrote
this account, “To Peter Jacob Schmid-
theiser, Dr., to cuts for German festi-
val, $890."
“When Schmidthelser received the
bill he fainted. He revived and sent
for me,
“sFer vot Is It you scharge me fer
der cuts vot I could puy fer 40 cents
ablece, yet? he demanded.
“That's all right, old man,’ 1 as-
sured him. ‘You might buy those cuts
from anybody else for 40 cents aplece.
but not of me.’
“He refused to pay the bill, but not
long afterward he was stricken with
heart disease and died. Fis executors
found the bill, with its balance of $70
in my favor. They asked me what I'd
take to settle, and 1 told th. $50.
They paid It cheerfully, and since then
1 haven't had any trouble.” —8an Fran:

PINEAPPLES.
A Time When They Sold For $10 Each
In 8an Francisco.
In 1851 plueapples were rare in San
Francisco. One day in that year one
of the passengers who had crossed the
{sthmus of Darien before leaving Pan-
ama purchased from one of the na-
tives of that place a dozen pineapples
for a quarter of a dollar, and when he
landed in San Francisco he had six
left. Fe was carrying these from the
landing place at the foot of Vallejo
street, where there were boat steps at
the end of a twenty foot wharf, which
new arrivals approached by Whitehall
boats from the steamers that in those
days anchored in the stream 300 yards
from shore. The man was accosted
suddenly by a stranger who asked
him what he wanted “fog, that lot of
pineapples.”
“They are not for sale.”
“But 1 want them.” said the Cali-
fornian.
“I'll sell you three,” said the new ar-
rival, who on the voyage had heard
that San Francisco people were liberal
buyers, and he added, “but they'll cost
you $5 each.”
“Pake 'em.” was the curt reply, and
the fruit changed owners, the resident
passing over a Spanish coin known
then as a gold “ounce.” worth $16 in
trade.
Before the new purchaser had mov-
ed across Battery street, where the
transaction had taken place, he was
accosted by an acquaintance, who ask-
ed him to let him have the fruit. A
dicker followed for two of them, the
acquaintance paying $10 aplece for
them. Later in the day the first pur-
chaser was boasting of the rapid man-
per by which he had cleared $5 and
still had a fine pineapple for supper.—

How Sleep Is Caused.
Just how sleep is brought about is
one of the unsolved problems that have
been before science since the earliest
times. There are three general ex-
planations of sleep. They are called
the circulatory, the chemical and the
histological theories. The first two
have subdivisions. The histological
theory is now pretty well accepted.
The nervous system is made up of
thousands of nerve cells. These are
connected like a huge net by nerve ele-
ments, little branching fibers. Each
nerve element is structurally interde-
pendent, but functionally dependent.
Neurologists tell us that the fibers be-
come disconnected in sleep—that is,
each nerve cell is separated from its
neighbors hy the elements, or connect
ing fibers, becoming disconnected. The
nerve cells build np themselves while
separated, as they have no messages
from the body to bear to the brain.
As the sleeper regains consclousness
the nerve fibers unite and once more
begin their duties. — St. Louis Post-
Dispatch.
Possible Population of the Earth.
By the best reckoning the earth's
population for some two centuries or
so has been Increased at the rate of
about a million a year. From now on.
on account of improved material condl-
tions and the diminution of the slaugh-
ter consequent to war, the increase |
bids fair to be much greater. It has
recently been estimated that the earth
under present conditions might be able
to support a number treble that of its
present population — that is, about
4,500,000,000—four thousand five hun-
dred millions. By means of scientific
appliances and the reclamation of arid
and swamp lands it has been calculat-
ed that the figure given might be dou-
bled or ever trehled, giving ten or pos-
gibly fifteen thousand millions as the
ultimate limit of the earth's popula-
tion.—New York American.

Mark Twain's Mean Man.
“The meanest man I ever knew,”
sald Mark Twain, “lived in Hannibal.
He sold his son-in-law the half of a
very fine cow and then refused to
share the milk with the young fellow
on the ground that he had only sold
him the front half. The son-in-law
was also compelled to provide all the
cow's fodder and to carry water to her
twice a day. Finally the cow butted
the old man through a barbed wire
fence, and he sued his son-in-law for
$350 damages.”

Prehistoric Irrigation,

Congress which is to be held in September

to be a wore elaborate and important affair

worth recalling, «aye the Springfield Re-
publican, that irrigation was practiced in
Nurth America long hefore Columbus ever
st sail, although there is nothing to show
that the early irrigations ever went so far
a< to have a national congress,
Proof of their irrigation works bas heen

The Wedding Rice.
At a wedding breaksast, according to
What to Eat, a bridesmaid was beard to
tell the true reason for rice being used at
weddings. It was once believed that if on
their wedding journey a newly wedded
conple saw a flock of doves it would mean
| a loog life of peace and happiness to them.
| A bridal party in ing so frightened a
| flock of these timid birds that they flew
away in great alarm, and to avert the evil
omen that their flight signified for the new-
ly mariied couple rice was thrown in grease
| quantities to lure the birds back to the
| place from which they bad flown. This
| plan was so successful that the wedded pair
| went on their way rejoicing and lived ever
| afterward a happy avd prosperous life.
Since then rice has been need as a symbol
| of good luck, peace, and bappinese at wed-
| dings.
There was a young man who started in
| lite with the proposition that be would be-
| lieve nothing he could not prove for him-
| self or eee with his own eyes. For that
| man history was a sealed book, foreign
, lands did not exist, astronomy was a fable,
{ enemiistry a fairy tale. For the founda.
! sion of all knowledge is the acceptance of
| facts which bave been proven by other peo-
| ple and belief in the records of history and
geography written by obroniclers and tiav-
elers long dead. That young man would
be diomed to perish by his own ignorance, |
because he would take no other man’s
word and trust no other man’s experience. |
