It la estimated that the losses from

this falls upon tho flro underwriter

Here Is an original suggestion and a
good one to wealthy testators who are
In search of something besides col

In spite of tho reports at every
hand of the farm population turning
citywards, the census says that the
farmers In tho United States have In
creased 1,400,000 during the last ten

The Chicago man who is trying to
keep his name a secret while he gives
liberally of his wealth In aid of the
worthy poor objects to being referred
to as a philanthropist or to having hia

of philanthropist and his work the
highest kind of charity, If those words
mean anything.
Tho Chlcaeo Tribune comments on
a musical folly announced by a Ger
man scientist. He has discovered
that plants are sensitive to music, and
that some plants unfold their loaves
and are stimulated to crowth when
sweet music Is made, while they
close them aealn It the music be
comes discordant. The Tribune thinks
well of the discovery, and suggests
that a braes band mleht be usefully
employed In forcing the products of
a truck farm, while a mandolin or
chestra could bo used to stimulato a
flower carden.
It Is an unnropxesBlve hamlet that
cannot produce at least one old resi

tures of tho 10th century was that It
mado such a feat of longevity pos
sible. Because of the ereat Increase
of creature comforts better food, bet
ter shelter, an Improved knowledge of
hygiene, etc., the expectation of life,
as the Insurance men call It, has im
proved with demonstrable regularity.
The century produced no "old Parrs"

As a result of the Boer war the

It Enya they were synonymous with

Whitsuntide and August bank holi

UT" Miss
Hudson, subsiding
Into her favorite clmlr
nenr tho window, with the Tlmea nnd
her knitting, and contemplntlng the
rain-soaked garden. "Bud for the
roses, nnd no one likely to cnll
But here a ring resounded through
the little house, and n moment Inter
the door opened to admit nn exceeding
ly pretty girl, whose appearance made
the elder Indy sit up lu amazement,
nnd exclnlm:
"Gracious, child! what brings you
here such a day?"
"You niny well wonder, aunt; but
after wlmt has happened I could not
atny In town, and mother thought you
would have me for a few weeks. My
trunks nre coming later. I bnve been
compelled to break off my engagement
to Terry, nnd have written this morn
ing to tell lilni we must never meet
again!"
This speech, uttered with feverish
spirit, as Doris Druinmond dragged oft
her gloves nnd threw them on the ta
ble In a ball, was na a bombshell In
the quiet room.
"Broken your encasement!" ojnculat
cd Miss Hudson, dropping her knitting.
' Nonsense! There must be some mis
take. The girl sbonk her bend as she pneed
the room Impntlenily.
"I hnd better tell you all about it,
nnd then the subject can drop," she
cried. "Terry bns been very busy
lately; every one seems 111. at least be
eays so. Well, denr, yesterday, ns
mother nnd I were coming out of Cen
tral Park we snw him Just by the en
trance with Helen I.egnrde. that horrid
girl with whose brother he went to
school, you know. They were quite
absorbed, and never saw us, yet In
the evening I hnd a note to sny tlutt
lie was too busy to come up. Still, I
tried not to mind "
"Quite right.
"But this morning I snw them again.
They were talking most earnestly; he
was bending down to her. nnd I'm
sure she was crying. This kind of thing
cannot go on. I have lost n-11 confidence
In him. I cannot believe In him
ngnln" this with great emphasis, aud
then she added with withering scorn,
'Busy. Indeed!"
'Humph!"
"What do you mean by 'humph In
that tone, aunt, dear?" asked Doris,
doubtfully, "Surely you agree with
me?"
"My love, there are two sides to
everything. 1 should like to hear Ter
ry' side."
"Why, he has not got one" very
blankly. "I saw myself "
Miss Hudson picked up her knitting.
She had always been pin In and angu
lar. No romnucc hnd ever touched her
life save through her sister' only
child-sweet, spoiled Doris. Then she
bad thought so much of Dr. Oliver, too.
Ho was considerably older than her
niece. They bad seemed exactly suited
to each other and no dissension hnd
ruffled their bnrmony hitherto. It ap
peared Inexplicable, until she recalled
bow foolish her poor, denr sister Lizzie
was; bow likely to fan her daughter's
resentment Into a flame. In sheer
thoughtlessness.
"The least snld tho soonest mended,"
the wisely reflected, stroking her dar
ling' sunny little head. "There is tho
other side; that I maintain."
Perhaps Dorl dimly realized this,
for ere they retired to rest she re
marked that, with all his fault, Terry
was good to every one.
"Doubtless; no one is altogether
bad," Miss Houston replied In a tone
of disparagement, making n wry face
to conrenl a smile. "But ns you have
lost all conlldenee In him, there is no
more to be snld."
"No, not a word," responded her
niece, with unnecessary fervor.
When Miss Hudson looked out of her
window the following morulug it was
fair and sunny, uud Doris was flitting
about among the roses In the garden
below. Then, ns she stood absently
watching her, the gate clicked, null
Terence Oliver's tall form came down
the pathway. The window was wide
open, and they were so near thnt she
could not help henrlng. He spoke first.
"You wrote this?" holding out a note.
"Y-cs. I simply related the truth.
You cannot explain "
"Explnlu! I shall not try yet. Will
you take bad; every word In this
note?"
"Now she will Are up; now there will
be a scene!" murmured the wicked
old eavesdropper, excitedly. "How
pretty the poor pet looks! yet somehow
I would trust him. Holgb-bo! what it
1 to be young!" ,
Could she believe her ear? So far
from the expected torrent of words,
Dorl bad only turned to the rose
bushes, as If she could not oear Terry'
straightforward eye, and muttered,
balf audibly:
"But Terry; I could not. jlbg
Helen "
"Oh, j-ei, you could, and will," ht
answered gpntly. "Yon will bclleva
me against all theworld; you will be
lieve me through good nnd evil, as f
will you. I know you better than you
do yourself, you see."
She moved uneasily, nnd hid het
face In her bands; then suddenly raised
It, smiling through her tears, like one
of her aunt' rosea washed In dew.
"Yon do. Terry, and I will; Indeed,
I will!" she cried, enrnestly.
The listener did not wait to heat
more-, but fastened on her enp with
trembling fingers nnd dim eyes, nnd
hurried downstnlra to order every good
thlnjr thnt she could devise for brenk
fnst before going out to summon her
visitors.
"I have been telling Doris of the
death of my old friend, Hugh I.e
gnrde," Terry said, gravely, as they
walked to the door. "Poor fellow! be
was hurt In nn accident two days ago,
nnd I bnve been with him dny and
night since. The family are In terri
ble trouble; lie was the only son."
"He died late Inst night, nnd when
Terry returned home he found my
note. I am so very, very ashamed of
myself." Doris owned, bravely. Then
she slipped round to her aunt's side to
whisper, "Ah! I see there Is the othe"
side now. I will never forget It again."

SPARE THE ROD, SPOIL THE BEAST,
Uut the Rod Mast Hit Iron, With s Red'
Hot Tip.
"When nil other methods of control
ling wild beasts fall the keeper has
only to employ an Iron rod, which hna
been made red hot at one end," snld
an old circus mnn to n Star reporter
recently. "Lions nnd tigers," be con
tinued, "will cringe before tho heated
poker, and no matter how restless anil
fretful they may have been the sight
of the glowing Iron Immediately
brings them to their best of animal
senses. It has an almost hypnotic In
fluence over the bensts. I have seldom
beard of an animnl being burned In
this manner, however, so there Is
nothing cruel In the treatment. It
would not do for the keeper to burn
the charges under bis care, for the
scars would mar the animnl or exhibi
tion purposes. The hot Iron Is a ter
ror. Just the Fame, and under Its per
suasion the kin;,' of the jungle nre do
die and ready to do what la wanted
of the in.
"In circus menageries the animals
often become almost uninnnngeable.
This Is true of the younger specimens,
who do not like the Idea of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and so often cut off from the light of
the outside world. When It becomes
necpssnvy to give their cages a thor
ough and saniinry cleaning one attend
ant holds the beast In a corner by
menus of the red hot Iron, while an
other thoroughly cleausea the remain
ing portion of the cage the work
being accomplished by brooms nnd
mops from the outside. In changing
tho wilder animals from the cages em
ployed on the road to the larger and
more commodious quarters at the win
ter station, what we call a strong bos
Is used. The wagon Is hauled along
side the large cage and the steel strong
box, open at both ends, Is constituted
a passageway. The animals hesitate
to make a journey through such a suspicious-looking
object, however, nnd
again the heated iron must b? brought

One of the men who will enter tin

"You know thnt my district Is tor
