FULTON COUNTY NEWS. FOR Ttfe LITTLE ONES. A Cuts Little Playhoui the Children Outgrew. West Somerville can lay claim to the smallest house in greater Bos ton. It stand on a lawn close by a ftately house at the corner of High land avenue and Cedar street. It is so perfectly proportioned and the exterior is so well finished with its little pinazii and steps up to the door that at first sight one al most expects to seo miniature be ings from Toyland stalking around the plar. The house is 8 feet wide bv (i feet deep and is 8 feet. 6 inches iiigh to the tip of the roof. The interior SMALLEST HOU8B IN BOSTON. consists of one room, as its size pre cludes the possibility of more for the accommodation of human be ings. Its walls are papered and dec orated and hung with pictures and small ornaments. In the center of the floor stands a small table, with chairs arranged around it, and the whole interior seems so comfortable and cozy that one almost wishes for the magic ring of "Arabian Knights" fables, by the aid of which one might grow small enough to enter through the tiny door and enjoy the comforts which one is privileged to look upon through the windows only. It was formerly used by the own er as a playhouse for his children, but, alas, the children grew, and the house didn't, until it failed to ac commodate them. And so now it stands empty, silently waiting for the next generation of children to make its little walls echo with their merry laughter, as they were wont lo echo in the days of the children of the past generation whose child hood days are no more. Boston Globe. ' Why Boye Wear Earrings. " The custom of boys wearing ear rings in China is thus popularly ex plained by the Chinese: The boy ti the greatest blessing that heaven can send. The spirits like boy ba bies. It is natural that they should ; everybody likes them. Very often if the boy babies are not watched closely the spirits who are constant ly around grab up the unwatched boy babe and carry him-ofl to their homo. Girl babies are not such blessings, and the spirits care noth ing for them. The earring is a feminine ornament, and the spirits know that. So the Chinese mothers have the ears of their boy babies pierced and put in huge earrings. When the spirits are around looking for boys, they will see the earrings and be fooled into thinking the boy3 are girls and will pass on and not trouble them. Washington Times. How to Make Walnut Candy. The. meats of hickory nuts, Eng lish walnuts or black walnuts may be used, according to preference. After removal from the shells in as large pieces as practicable they ar6 to bo placed on the bottoms of tins, previously greased, to the depth of about half an inch. Next boil two pounds of brown sugar, a half pint of wuter and one gill of good mo lasses until a portion of the mass hardens when cooled in a cup of cold water. Pour the hot candy on the meats and allow it to remain until hard. Little Strokes. A crippled boy leaned on the churchyard Kate AdmlrlnfTThe fust setting sun; Boino children were frolicking unden the trees, Rejoicing their day's work was done; The bells rang out from the old church tower; The birds enroled forth their sweet lays; The Incense of bloasom hung thick In the air, All nature delighted In praise. And the boy cried aloud: "The children can play, . The (lowers brightly bloom o'er tho sod; The bells and the birds all unite In his praise, But wbat can I do for my God?" He sighed as he thought what a poor use less life Tils weakness compelled hlro to spend; He never could hope to be first In the strife, 8o longed for his sufferings to end.

Dr. Calmette, director of the Pas teur institute at Lille, France, who was bitten by a most poisonous snake recently, tells the following story n the occurrence : "I was handling the snake when one of his fang touched the third finger of my right hand. I felt nothing at first, but presently found blood flowing. It was easy to un derstand what had happened. I ran and placed my finger under a tap. Without delay one of my as sistants inoculated me under the skin of the stomach- with an injec tion of serum, and in less than five minutes the numbness and the pain had ceased. "A day or two later, finding that the wound did not heal, a surgical operation was performed. This had notning to do with the enake ven om, which had been completely elim inated from the wound. Necrosis had set in from infection of the open wound, and the doctor said with a laugh, 'I suppose the reptile had forgotten to wash his moutlu' " Loaded With Buckeyes. Buckeyes are not only lucky, but curative. The Ohio politicians have long been the wonder of the nation, but their success is easily explained w hen you recollect that they all car ry buckeyes in their pockets. I met one recently with a notion that he would soon be promoted to a high diplomatic office by President Roose velt. His confidence was an inspira tion. It inspired this paragraph. He said, with a stretch up and a swell out: "Ohio has relieved Vir ginia of the odium of being the mother of presidents and the foster father of successful politicians. Whenever a male child is born in Ohio the United States understands that there is a new factor in our po litical life. All Ohioans are states men. Sometimes they descend to politics. Why, my dear boy, look at this I" Hamming his hands in both pockets, he drew forth eight buck eyes. "How can they beat me when I have these? It's a dead certainty I'll land high." New York Press. Great 8lngers Off the Stage. I remember how amused I was when Mine. Karnes told me how cap itally Jean do Keszke, who un doubtedly is the greatest of living tenors, imitates animal sounds how he "bowwows" and "meows" with the same voice which has thrill ed thousands; also how Edouard de Reszke delights in imitating the sounds of various orchestral instru ments. But in order to do this he is obliged to assume the pose of the player, so that if he is imitating the sounds of a cello he sits as if he had the instrument between his knees and were drawing a bow across the imaginary strings. As for Plancon, whenever he and the prima donna step out upon tho stage together he always whispers to her just as they are leaving tho wings, "Now they are going to see the two most beau tiful noses in the company." Gus tav Kobbe in Woman's Home Com panion. Went Broke on Kisses. "D. F. Coon, whose son was a few nights ago married to Miss Hattie Combs, is one of the best natured men in Fort Scott," remarks the Fort Scott (Kan.) Monitor. "After the ceremony he kissed the bride and gave her $1,000, at the same time remarking that it was worth another hundred. The bride then walked up and kissed him, and he pulled out $100 more and gave it to her. The bridegroom thought thia was a good financial snap, and ho tried the same game. He kissed his father, but only got $40. However, the old gentleman went broke on this little series of speculation." A Real 8hort Story. A well known figure in Welling ton (New Zealand) streets is Jacob Joseph, the Hebrew capitalist, lie drives in a stylish turnout and wears blue glasses. But he has been stone blind since boyhood, when he tried to frighten a servant girl by playing ghost with a 6heet over his head. She clutched his face, and in her excitement her thumbs destroy ed his sight. Sydney Bulletin. When It Ralna.

J. Risinger lier sou. Judge Field held that "Love and affection" was a valid consideration for a gift from a parent to a child it ia not sufficient to uphold the gift. Judge Field stated that it was with extreme reluctance that he was compelled to decide against the mother in the present case, the facts of which are of an unus ual character. In 1882 Annie S. Risinger and her husband, Martin L. Risinger deeded to their son, F. J. Risiuger eighteen acres of land in the coun ty, he agreeing to give his parents one third of the product of the land. The parents claimed that the son had not treated them fairly, and that for a period of several years he had not cultivated the property. Their differences, however, were patched up in 1898, when the parents deeded the property to their son absolutely, the consider ation being "love and affection." On the same day the son made a written agreement to pay the par ents or the survivor of them $10 a year for life. The consideration recited in the agreement was "love and affect ion." Some time ago the mother brought suit against tho son to recover the property, valued at i?48f), on the ground that the son had not kept the agreement. In his answer the son admitted that ho failed to pay $10 to his mother for the last three years. In an amended answer ho said that he had forgotten that he had paid it. As a defence, however, the son set up that "love and affection" was not a valid consideration for this .igreement with his parents, and further that tha deed could not be set aside, as it had not at tached within ten years of the time it was made. Judge Field upheld both contentions of the son, saying that it was with re luctance that he made this ruling. He held that the deed was valid, as "love and affection" is a valid con sideration between parents and child, but that the agreement to pay $10 a year is invalid, as the consideration between the child and the parents was "love and af fection." Louisville Evening Post. Metaphysical. "If a building is destroyed by fire, is it the fire or the building that burns?" "The fire, I suppose." "What does tho building do?" "Well, it burns, of course." ."What does the fire burn?" "It burns the building." "Then if the fire burns the building, how can the building be said to burn?" "It burns doesn't it?" "Didn't you say a moment ago that it was the fire that burned." "Yes." "Then how can the fire and the building both burn?" "Why, when the building is on fire " "How can a building be on fire? Isn't it always fire that's on the building?" 'That is what I mean, of course. ' "But isn't fire sometimes in the building?" "Yes, of courso." "Then why did you say it was always on a buildiug?" "I thought that was what you said." "On the contrary, I was trying to find out what you thought. Now, if it Is the fire that burns the building can the building really bo said to be doing anything?" "N-no, I suppose not." "Then the building doosn't really burn.'V "No." "It simply can't be doing auy thiug, can it?" "I suppose not." "Then if tho building doesn't burn, of course, it is because it, can't burn, is it not?" " "Yes; that seems reasonable." "But if a building doesn't burn and can't burn, how can it be de stroyed by fire?" "I-I don't know. That makes' my head ache."

Fore, Knobsvillc. Famous Sayings of Famous Hen. "Give them a little more grape, Captain Bragg," said General Taylor at the battle of Buena Vis ta. Though Taylor had never cast a ballot in his life, and was absolutely ignorant of politics; this battle, supplemented by his battle cry, which was on the ban ners and transparencies of his party in the campaign of 1848, made him president. Some of Jackson's admirers remarked that he was as "tough as hickory" and the designation Old Hickory was thereupon given to him by his political friends, and won him many votes in his different can vasses for the presidency. The Whig who said that "Tippecanoe talks for Harrison too," helped his favorite in two ways by sav ing him from tho necessity of making many speeches, and by keeping the fact to the front that that battle and the man who won it were worthy of remembrance "No terms other than an uncon ditional, immediate surrender can be accepted," were the words which Grant used to to Buckner at Fort Donelsou, and they had a conspicuous place on the repub lican banuers iu the canvass of 18(18 in which Grant was first elected, and Unconditional Sur render became a nickname by which he was known to his ad mirers. Lincoln's "A house di vided against itself can not stand," and Seward's "It is an irrepressible conflict between op posing and euduring forces," the allusion being to slavery and free dom in each case, were familiar campaign cries in 18G0. Clay's "I'd rather be right than bo President,," uttered after one of his many defeats for that of fice, would have made an appro priate epitaph, for the great com moner. It was authentic, too, which is something more than can be said for some of the fa mous expressions attributed to conspicuous men, Wellington declared that he never said, at Waterloo or anywhere else, "Up guards, and at them!" but poster ity keeps on ascribing it to him, perhaps on the assumption that he ought to have said it, whether he did or not. Tho answer, "Thte Old Guard dies, but never surren renders," ascribed to the French geueral.Cambronne, the comman der of the Old Guard, when sum moued by the victorious British at Waterloo to lay down his arms, was shown to be apocryphal by his own testimony afterward, by the fact that all the guard who were left alive at the time did sur render, and by the circumstance that Cambronne himself lived f ir more than a quarter of a century after the battle, yet the sentiment ascribed to him nerved Conkling's old guard in the Republican con vention of 18H0, and many other forlorn hopes in the throe-quarters of a century since Waterloo.

Burnt Cabins, Pa. Kubellk's Generosity. The Austro-Hungariana of New York city entertained Jan Kubelik, the violin virtuoso, at a well known cafe one night recently. During the evening a young ludy asked Kubelik for his autograph. Her request led to similar requests from hnlf a hun dred others. For a quarter of an hour Kubelik was kept busy writing his name on cards. Among those who requested the young musiciun's autograph wus Marcus Braun, the president of the Austro-llungarian Republican club. But instead of handing Kubelik a card on which to write his name Mr. Braun handed him a check from his checkbook. It was a blank check on the Second National bank. Kubelik took it and filled it out as follows: Second National Snnd Bank. . Pay to the order of the president of I the United States 110,000,000,000,000,000,000. Jan Kubelik. New York Times. Dogs and Literary Fame. Mr. Richard Harding Davis, who lives in Marion, Mass., came over to New York to visit the dog show, in which Mrs. Davis, who has long been interested in dogs, had some line ex hibits. Mr. Davis was in the smok ing car on his trip to the city when he was accosted by an unafraid stranger of somewhat "sporty" ap pearance. "Are you," said this gentleman, cheerfully seating himself by Mr. Davis' side "are you Mr. ?" naming a celebrated dog fancier. "1 am not," Mr. Davis replied calmly enough, knowing that he had facts up his sleeve which might easi- "THAT'S TUB FINEST HULL" - ly be made to annihilate this pre sumptuous individual. "I am Mr. Davis Richard Harding Davis." The sporting gentleman drew back with an air of deference and awe. "Do you mean to say," he suid, "that you are tho husband of Mrs. Davis, the owner of Woodcote J um bo? I'm glad to know you. That's the finest hull" But Mr. Davis had vanished.
