A party of men were out hunting, and an old woodsmian who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nichtfall when the resident occurred, and inas much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron Finding a walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, anil by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like a • harm. "llow did you do It?" asked one of the numlior. greatly surprised. "Very easy," was this old hunter's reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittled away. When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want you have a gun stock."—Kansas City Journal. The Measure. The ancient judge sat before the scales of worth. "Bring forth the royal treasure!" he cried, and the hurrying slaves poured into the huge pan sacks of golden metal, caskets of sparkling gems until it seemed as if all of the wealth of earth were there. Yet the balance never stirred. "Let the learning of the ages be add ed." came the order, and tons upon tons of the wisdom of sages, philoso phers. scientists and poets was heaped ujH>n the pile. And still the great arm of the scales remained high in air. "Add now the men of power and high position," said the judge, "and the scale will fall." Hut all in vain. "Isut what is on the other side that outweighs all theseV" asked one. "It is character." said the judge.— Portal. A Good Sleeper. Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi nary story of the itnpassiveaess of LouU XVIII'. When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant , news, am! he therefore postponed the | communication of it to the king till I next morning, when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have j disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied: "Nothing disturbs tny sleep, as you may < - e from this in stance. The most dreadful blow of : my life was tnj brother's death. The i courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at S o'clock in the even i ing. For many hours I was quite overcome, but at midnight I went to I Mil and sle| t my usual eight hours."

"Very few people know that turn I turo ought to be washed." said a sales man in the furniture section of a large department store. "Vet." be continued, "it Is the best tiling one can do to keep furniture looking as well as It should One should take a bucket of tepid rain water and make a suds with a good pure soap. Then with a soft piece of cheesecloth all the woodwork should be washed. It Is astonishing how much dirt will come off. A second piece of cheesecloth should be wrung dry out of hot water. On this should be poured a tablespoon of first class furniture pol lsh. The heat will spread the polish through the cloth. Next the furniture should lie gone over with the second cloth There will lie no need of put ting on more polish, for that much will do all one needs. Too many persons make the mistake of using too much polish and leaving It thick oil the furui ture. where It looks dauby and where It gathers more dirt." There is furniture in homes today that is cast off because of its appear ance when It might lie brought back "to Its original freshness by this simple process of washing. Many persons do not know that a fine bit of mahogany Is Improved by careful washing, and hundreds of pianos have never been more than dusted in years. A square of cheesecloth for the washing and an other for the polishing will do the work, and the result will well repay the effort.—lndianapolis News. HOT DRINKS. If Taken Above 130 Degrees They In jure the Stomach. Many people without realizing it are in the habit of drinking tea at much too high a temperature. Sir Henry Thompson points out in his book on "Diet In Relation to Age and Activi ty." "Few persous are aware that they habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es pecially, at a tempera ture which if applied to the hauds or feet would in flict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers take it about 1-40 to 145 degrees F.. which the mouth bears very well if slowly sipped, while the cup Itself Is too hot to be held by any hand. "But the habit of swallowing such tea is Injurious to the stomach, and !t ought not to be taken above 130 de grees or so. Again, water at 120 de grees, which feels a little more than lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe pain if the hand is dipped in It and cannot be endured." lie has. however, some good words to say for the early morning tea. "This morning tea in any case should be taken at least an hour and a half before the first meal of the day. For many years I have been accustomed to write for an hour every morning in bed after tea. as 1 am doing at this moment, and at uo time do I find the brain clearer for work, while the ap petite for solid food is excellent when the hour for breakfast arrives." Trudging For the Wash. The Portuguese country people as a usual thing have great physical en durance, doubtless as a result of the "survival of the fittest" for many gen j eratlons. The laundry workers are an ! example of this. People come in from | long distances to get soiled clothes of city customers The clothes will be placed tn big panniers on the family donkey, and the peasants will start | back late in the afternoon Some of them will travel all night, and it will | be sunup before they reach their homes, many miles from Llshon or | Oporto A day or two later they are trudging back to deliver the clothes, now spotlessly clean, and to get tin other lot from the saute patron. Many a countryman and his wife take a ! jnnnt of fifteen miles or more, which makes one think that there might be many who could rival the feats of Weston and O'l.eary as walkers if they tried.—Christian Herald. An Early "Trust." As an example of trusts and monop olies prevalent even In that early day it may lie mentioned that In 1750 one Benjamin Crabb obtaiued the exclu sive right to make sperm candles in Massachusetts for fourteen years. A year later, however, a factory was ! started in Providence. It. 1., and with in the decade there were eight fac tories In New Knglnnd and one in Philadelphia Their output greatly re duced the price of candles, which not long before sold for 5 shillings a pound In those days SI .!» was worth fully three times as much as It Is now—N Hudson Moore In Designer The Sixteenth Century Critie.

The rajahs of Bustar are hybrid rajputs, claiming to lie of the family of the moon, and have reigned in I'.us tar for between five and nix hundred years. The family hears the name of Rathputty, and every year the rajah has to sit on the rath at the festival of the Dusseerah wearing the jewels of the goddess Duuteshwarre, the tutelary goddess uf the state, which are brought from Dantawara temple for the pur pose. "Save for the jewels he is clad only in wreaths of Uowers," says a writer In the Wide World, "and when we saw him he looked very solemn—al most ashamed of himself—as he passed us. "In connection with this ceremony there used to he a brutal custom of dragging the rath, a huge sort of jug gernaut car weighing many tons, over the bodies of live buffaloes, often only partly killing them. "This horrible practice was stopped by British officials." Indispensable. Three camels presented themselves at the dock where the ark was tied up, whereas but two animals of a kind bad been called for. "One of yon fellows will have to step aside!" shouted Noah Very per emptorily. But the three ships of the desert smiled knowingly. "I," said the first of them, "am the camel which shall pass through the eye of a needle sooner than a rich man shall enter the kingdom of heaven." "I," said the second, "am the camel which so many people swallow while straining at a gnat." "And I," said the third and last "ant the camel whose back was bro ken by the last straw." Whereupon Noah, perceiving that posterity could ill spare any of these and would be lost for illustrations without them, graciously made an ex ception in their favor.—Puck. A Famous Vine. In the Cumberland Lodge portion of the royal gardens at Windsor there is a vine, known all over England as the Cumberland Lodge vine, which is a shoot of a still older vine which grows at Hampton Cotirt, but the shoot has far outdistanced its parent in dimen sions and productiveness. In England grapes are generally grown under glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine has a great glass structure, 120 feet long by 20 wide, all to itself. Growing with astonishing luxuriance, the vine spreads itself over a roof area of 2,400 square feet and bears annually a crop of approximately a thousand huge I bunches of the finest flavored grapes. I These grapes are frequently found on the royal talile. and tin; subject who is presented with a basket of them con siders himself highly favored.

The expression in the prayer book "Kindly fruits of the earth" has for most persons no definite meaning on account of the difference lu signifi cance now attached to the word kind ly from that used when the expression was first written. The word kindly lu that connection meant as nearly as possible "of Its kind," aud the expres sion "kindly fruits of the earth" meant "the fruits of the earth each after Its kind."
