The Waste of tho Wind.
Every ono who wants n cheap mo
tive force has tried to hnrncss tho
wind. Every child has mailo a paper
propeller or a windmill. Hut can It be
salil that tho possible uses of the wind
have been as arduously investigated
ns such recently discovered forces ns
Bteam and electricity and gases? Is it
not conceivable (hat the practical use3
of tho wind arc underestimated Just
because they are so familiar?
We cannot help thinking that the
wind will be more variously employed
some day in tho same way that prob
ably tho problem of laying under con
tribution tho great physical fact of the
tides will bo Holved. Ono would think
that the wind could bo used for, elec
tric lighting, yet there is no practical
apparatus for tho purpose. True, the
wind is variable and occasionally nb
Bent, but as electricity enn be stored
one might suppose that this was the
very case in which variability did not
particularly matter. London Spectator.
T.ho Clever Shoe Clerk.
At the cost of considerable time and
labor one high grade shoo house is
bound to protect its goods. On a rainy
day a woman wearing wet shoes went
in to buy rubbers. The clerk meas
ured tho width nnd length of her
shoos, removed them nnd brought a
new pair of tho same size to try on
Visions of a depleted pocketbook caus
ed her 1o exclaim, "Hut I don't wnut
new shoes, only rubbers!"
"I understand," said the clerk. "1
am only slipping these shoes on to lit
the rubbers over. It soils the inside
of a rubber to slip it on over a wet
shoe. Then If It doesn't lit and the
customer doesn't take it it is spoiled
for ihe next customer."
"And the outcome of that experi
ence was," said the woman, "that 1
bought the shoes as well as the rub
bers and had them sent homo C. O. D.
Maybe that was what ho was working
for all the time." New York Sun.
Tho Turkish Doctors- Oath.
la Turkey they have a Illppocrnilc
oath, though they do not call it by
that uame. It is given In Al-KulIIyi-h.
the magazine published by the SyP,.
Protestant college in llelrut. To each
of the graduates In medicine the oath
was administered by the Turkish head
of the medical examining board. WY
citon few of tho pledges:
"That when I am called at the same
time by two different patients, tho one
rich and tho other poor, I will accept
the call of the poor without taking
into consideration tho money offered
and will do my best for Ills treatment,
and that I will never decline to an
swer any call, day or night, during the
reign of common diseases or of an
epidemic or of contagious diseases.
"That I will not ask extra fees from
the patients nnd will not act against
my conscience by exaggerating their
sickness in order to get the calling
fees.
"That in case of a doubt as to the
treatment of a patient I will not leave
his life in danger through a failure to
consult other doctors on account of
my pride."
Rockefeller and His Caddie.
"Colling In Augusta ono bright win
ter day," he said, "I had for caddie a
boy who didn't know me.
"An unfortunnte stroke landed me in
a clump of high grass.
" 'My, my!" I said. 'What am I to do
now?"
" 'See that there tree? said the boy,
pointing to a tall tree a mile away.
'Well, drive straight for that.'
"I lofted vigorously, and, fortunately,
my ball soared up into tho air, it land
ed, and it rolled right on to the putting
green.
" 'How's that, my boy?' 1 cried tri
umphantly. "Tho caddie stared at me with en.
vious eyes.
" 'Gee, boss,' he said, 'If I had your
strength and you had my brains, what
a pair for a foursome we'd make!'"

Lejo Majesty In Position of a Stamp.
A decision of the courts at Trieste
is causing great indignation among
young people in Austria. Hencefor
ward lovers will be liable to n sum
mons for lese majesty if they vary the
official position of a postage stamp,
whether on n card or on a letter, to
Indicate their sentiments. To stick n
postage stamp at a certain angle to
express "undying love," "disappoint
ment," "tender memories," and so
forth, Is decidedly a mark of disre
spect to the sovereign, say the courts.

HONOR SOUTHERN HEROINES.
Miss Kinney Given Largest Sculpture
Contract Ever Awarded Woman.
To commemorate the sacrltlce. pri
vation and bravery of the women of
the south during tho civil wnr ten
southern states will erect In their cap
ltnl cities monuments In bronze oi
marble replicas of the original deslgu
mndo by Miss Itcllc Kinney, a young
dnughtcr of the old south, says Ilamp
ton's.
Miss Kinney's father was a Con fed
erate soldier, her mother a southern
woman, and she herself was born In
Nashville, Tenn., about twenty-three
years ago. This young woman, whose
art education has been entirely in the
United States, has thus secured the
largest contract for sculpture work
ever given to any woman.
Tho monument is n group of three
figures, all heroic. The central form Is
that of Fame bunding slightly to set
the laurel wreath upon the brow of a
figure at the right representing the
southern woman, who Is placing the
palm of victory upon tho breast of a
dying soldier boy. The boy is strug
gling to raise once more the torn and
tattered battleilag which he has been
carrying. The group Is an atttcmpt to
reveal the heroism, sympathy nnd
steadfast loyalty of the southern worn
en to their soldiers In the field.

A Good Sleeper.
Talleyrand used to tell nn extraordi
nary story of the impassiveness of
Louis XV1II. When he was minister
of foreign affairs a courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication of it to tho king till
next morning, when ho explained that
ho was afraid tho tidings might have
disturbed his majesty's sleep. Tho
king replied: "Nothing disturbs my
sleep, as you may see from this in
stance. Tho most dreadful blow of
my life was my brother's death. The
courier who brought this dreadful
news nrrived nt 8 o'clock In tho even
ing. For many hours I was quite
overcome, but at midnight I went to
bed and slept my usual eight hours."
Tho story Is told, by the Duchesse de
DIno, Talleyrand's niece. In her mem

FLIERS SEEK GRAND CANYON.
Fear Suction From Great Ditch ot
Arizona.
Flight by aviators over tho Grand
Canyon of the Colorado river In Arlzo
nn is to bo attempted hi the near fu
ture If proper arrangements can be
made. Tho aeroplane men believe
that such a flight Is practicable despite
the probable suction when over the
"ditch." The canyon Is 7,000 feet
nbove the sea level, and from the rim
to the Colorndo river tin lowest part
of the canyon is 0,000 feet. H Is nbou
thirteen miles across where tho flight
will be attempted.
The aviators say they must first
ascend 2,000 feet nbove the ground be
fore hovering over the canyon to avoid
tho chance of suction from below. If
this is done tho machines would then
be about 0,000 feet nbove tho sea.

Tho Measure.

"Bring forth the royal treasure!" ho
cried, and tho hurrying slaves poured
into the hugo 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.
"Lot the learning of the nges be add
ed," came the order,' nnd tons upon
tons of tho wisdom of sages, philoso
phers, scientists nnd poets was heaped
upon the pile. And still the great arm
of the scales remained high in air.
"Add now the men of power and
high position," said tho Judge, "and
the scnle will fall." But all in vain.
"But what is on tho other side that
outweighs all these?" asked one.
"It is character," said the Judge.

The Filial Chinaman.
Many examples of Chinese filial piety
strike tho occidental reader as ridicu
lous. There Is the' famous story of
Lao Laltsu, which Mr. It. F. Johnston
repeats in his "Lion and Dragon In
Northern China." Lao's parents lived
to such extreme old ago that ho was
himself a toothless old man while
they were both still alive. "Conceiv
ing it his duty to divert their atten
tion from their weight of years and
approaching end, he dressed himself
up in the clothes of a child and played
about in his parents' presenco with
tho object of ranking them think they
wero still a young married couple con
templating the Innocent gambols of
their infant son."
A similar case is that of Wang P'ou,
whoso mother had nn unconquerable
dread of thunder and lightning. When
she died she was burled in a mountain
forest, nnd thereafter, when a violent
thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou,
heedless of tho wind nnd rain, would
hurry to her grave nnd throw himself
to his knees. "I am hero to protect
you, dear mother," ho would say.
"Do not be afraid."
Making a Gunstock.
A party of men wero out hunting,
nnd nn old woodsman who was with
them broke his gunstock in some way
or other. It was just about nightfall
when tho accident occurred, and inas
much ns ho was very anxious to do
some shooting early tho next morning
ho decided to fix up his shooting iron.
Finding a walnut fence rail, he sot to
work. His only tools were an ax and
a big pocket knife. All night long ho
lnbored vigorously at his task, and by
morning the gunstock was finished and
back in place and worked like a
charm.
"How did you do it?" asked one of
tho number, greatly surprised.
"Very easy," was this old hunter's
reply. "No trouble at all. Just get n
piece of wood about tho size and kind
that you want aud then whittle away
all that you want whittled away.
When you have all the wood cut off
that you don't want you have n gun
stock." Kansas City Journal.
