The talipot palm of Ceylon has gigan tic fanlike leaves, which when fully expanded form a nearly complete circle thirteen feet in diameter. Large fans made of them are carried before people of rank among the Cingalese. They are also commonly used as umbrellas, and tents are made by neatly joining them together. They are used as a substitute for paper, being written upon with a stylus. Some of the sacred books of the Cingalese are composed of strips of them.' The Untidy Horse Chestnut. Those who have experienced the diffi culty of keeping a lawn clean where horse chestnut trees are growing will appreciate the following composition by a ten-year-old boy, which appeared in the New York Tribune: "The horse chestnut tree is a great shade tree. But it is rather a nuisance because of the blossoms dropping all over the grass, next the little green chestnuts fall all over the ground, next the big horse chestnuts fall with the burrs, next the great large leaves fall and dry up, and it takes time to rake them all up, and they won't burn like other leaves. So if I were plant ing trees I would plant a maple tree." Sha S«nt It Back. There have always been a lot of give and take in American women's social adventures In England. But American women have spirit, and if they have taken a good deal they have given back still more. An Englishwoman some years ago called on an American countess In BeL gravla. "Oh, I thought you were out! That's why I called," the Englishwoman said in her sweet, clear, insolent English voice. "Well, do you know, I thought I was out, too," the American replied. "My stupid man must have mistaken you for some one else." GiHa Will Be GIHa. Tm afraid I can't get the girls to take politics seriously.

Clerk —I should like a small increase in my salary, sir, please. Merchant—l don't see my way clear to do that, but I can do the same tiling in another way.

"Since I have given my best thought to the problem I have not found it es pecially difficult to take care of my sister-in-law's two-year-old baby while she goes shopping," said the bachelor brother-in-law. "For a time, until I mastered the subject, I must confess that it had me considerably obfuseat ed. But now I merely put the dear lit tle fellow under a tub, weighted down so that by no possibility can he over set it, and then go out to the barn and read and amoke in peac^."—Judge. An Authority. Peter McArthur, the writer, was once talking with a friend when he quoted another man as a financial authority. His friend disputed the right of the person quoted to be considered an ex pert. Mr. McArthur insisted that the man had a right t*> speak like an ora cle. "What is your definition of an au thority?" asked his friend. "My idea of an authority," retorted Mr. McArthur, "is a person who bluffs beyond my limit." The Bahamae. Bahamas make up their 4,466 square miles with 29 islands, 661 cays and 2,387 rocks. They have the dis tinction of being the first point of land in the western hemisphere discovered by Columbus, who sighted Cat island on Oct 12, 1492, and christened it San Salvador in acknowledgment of his preservation. The islands were taken possession of by Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1578, but no settlement was made till 1629. After changing hands once or twice the islands finally became British in 1783.—Westminster Gazette. ♦ «T7."T7.T.~.~. COURAGE. i I* | I ) | All work of man ia as the < swimmer's.

There is scarcely anything in this fride world that a person up against it financially can't pawn, for the pawn broker is a gambler, whose instincts either are acquired or born In him, and tie will take a chance on anything pro vided the article is not falling to pieces^ Women, according to the pawn broker, work their own ruin frequently by liquor and drug addiction, but in a. great many cases it is derelict hus bands who cause the women to patron ize the pawnshop. And the woman makes the sacrifice to protect her chil dren. "A woman who la struggling to save her children." the pawnbroker said, "will begin by pawning household things. The alarm clock or another kind of clock will go first Then she will sacrifice a few dishes. Maybe some of the furniture will go next Her clothes will remain for the last be cause she needs clothes In her quest for work. The best clothes will be saved, if at all possible, but I have known hundreds of cases where they have pawned corsets to keep the fam ily supplied with a bite of food in. times of want" In things offered for pawn the three ball man says that razors lead by a wide margin, while alarm clocks, strange as it nfty seem, come second. Umbrellas, too, are a common article to be pawned. And only about thirty per cent of these articles eventually are redeemed. SAW EVIL IN USE OF COFFEE Beverage Was Once Looked Upon by Orthodox Mohammedans as Insidi ous to Public Morals. For one who has ever walked the streets of a Turkish town it is almost Impossible to Imagine them without coffee houses. Yet, those resorts are of comparative recency among the Turks, and they were not acclimatized without bitter opposition. While the properties of the coffee berry are supposed to have been dis covered or rediscovered by an Arab dervish in the thirteenth century, they were unknown in Constantinople until 300 years later. The first coffee house was opened there in 1554 by one Shemsi, a native of Aleppo. The bev erage so quickly appreciated was as quickly looked upon by the orthodox as Insidious to the public morals. It was variously denounced as one of the four elements of the world of pleasure, one of the four pillars of the tent of lubricity, one of the four cush ions oL the. .couch of_vpluptuous_neas» aid" one of the fouf mlnlrfFertTor tne devil—the other three being tobacco, opium and wine. "Kahveh," whence our coffee, is a slight modification of an Arabic word —literally meaning ,l that which takes away the appetite.** —H. G. Dwight in Scribner's Maga zine. Ail Began With a Dime. "Last spring a year ago," says Farm and Fireside, "a ten-year-old neighbor boy was given ten cents by his grand mother. He purchased a packet of good cucumber seed with his money and grew a nice patch of cucumbers for the local village market His crop of cucumbers brought him a little over $6 in money, all of which hia mother allowed him to keep and spend as he pleased. "With $1 of his money this boy pur chased a few little things for himself, and with the other $5 he purchased a ewe lamb. By this spring his ewe lamb had grown into a mature mother sheep, and she gave birth to twin lambs. So now the boy has three sheep from his investment The moth er sheep is now worth $lO, and the lambs are worth $5 each, making a total value of $2O he has earned with his ten cents in a year and a half. Be sides, he sold wool this spring from the mother sheep for $2,45, which he has placed in the savings bank as the beginning of a bank account of hia own." Joffre Goes Fishing. An American writer who saw Gen eral Joffre at the front says he often goes fishing. Military plans for 3.000,- 000 troops are evolved in this way. The head of* the grand army of France resembles Oyama and Grant, remarks "Glrard" in the Philadelphia Ledger. "In the war with Russia the supreme commander of the Japanese often went off in solitude to fish. His ■ subordinates interpreted that as a good sign. Gen. Horace Porter, who was on Grant's staff during the last year ,of the Civil war, said that the Union chieftain did a lot of whittling in the Wilderness campaign. When he whit tled he was thinking. Bismarck said he could tell in 1870 when all was well with the German army by watching Von Moltke. If the chief of staff accepted the first cigar offered him things were serious, but if he carefully selected one he knew that Von Moltke's mind was free. Not That Bhe Needed Aid.
