Making a Gunstock.
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.—

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."

WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore Tarnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.
"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

The Rajahs of Bustar.
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
shoot from which thereat vine has
| grown wm planted in 177.".
Cliff of Natural Glass.
A cliff of natural glass can be seen
in Yellowstone park. It is half a mile
long and from lftO to 290 feet high,
the material of which it consists being
j as good glass as that artificially manu
factured. The dense glass whifh
I forms the base i ; from seventy-five to
| a hundred feet thick, while the upper
j portion, having suffered and survived
j many ages of wind and rain, has natu
| rally worn much thinner. Of course
J the color of the cliff is not that of nat
| ural glass—transparent and white—but
! is mostly black and In some places
| mottled and streaked with brownish
red and shades of olive green and
brown. .

j At an evangelistic service at Glasgow
I the preacher at the end of his add; ess
: cried, "Now, all you good people who
| mean togo to heaven with me, stand
I up!" With a surge of enthusiasm the
audience sprang to its feet, all but
an old Scotchman in the front row,
who sat still. The horrified evangelist
wrung his hands and, addressing him,
said, "My good man, my good man,
don't you want togo to heaven?"
Clear and deliberate came the an

Kindly Fruits.
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."
