AS A WORKING TOOL
for the Btudent and the writer,
as an authoritative reference book
for schools, families and business
men, there is one book which of
fers superior advantages both in
the solid value of its information,
and the ease with which it is ob
tained. One's admiration for Webster's
International Dictionary increases
daily as it comes to be better
known. It never refuses the in for
mation sought and it never over
whelms one with a mass of mis
information illogically arranged.
' The St. Jamrs Gazette of London,
England, Bays: For tho teacher, the pu
pil, the student and the litterateur, there
it nothing better; it covers everything.

A newly elected oftlclnl would some

On ono occasion Instead of milking

"Alfred, I wish you would atop thnt

All unsuspicious, he stopped the pen

Clar "Butter."
It Is . not generally known that In
many parts of the world clay is eaten
on bread us a substitute for butter.
This Is termed "stono butter" and Is
used In tiermnny. In the northern
parts of Sweden earth Is often baked
in bread aud la sold In the public mar
kets on the Italian peninsula, as well
as on the Island of Sardinia, Persia,
Nublu and other tropical countries.
This practice probably had its origin
in the knowledge that all earths have
some sort of flavor and tako the place
of salt, a necessary Ingredient In all
kinds' of food.

SLAVES OF FURNITURE.
The tlesolt of Women Betas- Afreld
of Iteetles anal Mlee.
If mnn I the slave of n dog, woman
la tho slave of furniture. If women
only knew how much more grnecful
and the only way Is to appeal to their
vnnlty they would be reclining nn the
floor, they would never sit tip on chiilr
or round p table. Thnt this I funda
mentally true I proved by thn fnct
thnt they nre never so happy a nt n
picnic, where there nre no chair nnd
tables. I really believe thnt thn rrnxe
for putting everything on something
above the floor-by which I inriin ta
ble, sldclsMirds, etc. grew from tho
custom of sleeping In ugly, cumber
some nnd dirt collecting bed Instead of
on the floor. Of course the reason why
women do not sleep on the floor I be
en use they nre nfrnld of beetle nnd
mien nnd other harmless things. Wom
en, therefore, having Invented thn bed,
Invented the (able In aland by It, nnd
thus spread the habit of putting every
thing above the level of the flisir.
Woman's original sin of being nfrnld
of black beetle nnd mice cost man
more than all tho royalty, nrmles, na
vies, pension lists, prisons, poverty,
schooling, national debts nnd wnrs of
Europe.
I nm sure I mil not putting It too high
when I any thnt the nvernge cost of fur
niture per house Is $1,MH, and If the
world would only agree not to cumber
It rooms Willi Ited nnd table, side
boards, cabinet nnd chairs our ground
rents would be about half wiint they
nre, nnd the overcrowding of our cities
would conio down proportionately.

A conductor of a Sixth n venue car,

A badger which had made its home
among the granite cliffs dealt with the
lire god with sagacity nnd skill, snya
Nature. A friend, while painting a sea
piece, discovered a bndger's Inlr nnd
thought to piny the animal n practical
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds, he placed It Insldo the
mouth of tho hole and, igniting it with
a match, waited for tho Ignominious
flight of tho astonished householder.
But Muster Bndger wns n resourceful
animal and not disposed to be made a

from tho depths of his hole ns soon ns
tho penetrating smoke told him that
there was a tire on the premises and
deliberately scratched earth on the

The Bod of a Tree.
Among the curious things discovered
by the students of plant lifo la the fuct
that a bud taken from one treo and
grafted on another carries the ago of
the original tree with It It has al
ways been believed that the bud so
transferred began a wholly new life,
but this new theory It muy, after all,
be more theory than fact as yet shows
the mutter In an entirely different light
For example. If a bud be taken from
a tree that Is twenty-five years old with
a natural life of fifty years and grafted
on another tree It will not live as long
as Its parent tree la entitled to live, the
full fifty years, but only for the period
of lifo then left to the tree, twenty-live
years.

" 'SHATTERED DIGNITY.
Aa Bait Prom Chorea That Had a
Flavor of Vomlo Opera.
The crude humor that mnke the
small boy wnnt to throw a stone at a
silk hat on a man bristling with dig
nity Is not to be (Imposed of ns n mere
111 conceived prnnk of youth. There la
deep In most people a spring of tin
BUbdunble humor thnt lenp gleefully
when conscious dignity get a fnlr tum
ble. Thnt Is why, for nil thn solemnity
of tho place, the soberest chnrlty nnd
the best bred propriety In the world
could not prevent a titter at a little
farce that liapHncd once In a church
in Brooklyn.
A gentleman and his wife, who were
offended nt something the preacher
snld, gravely rose nnd stalked townrd
tlie door, with their bend held high In
assertive disdain. The wife followed
the husband.
Unfortunately when they were half
wny down the nlsle the busbnnd drop
ped his glove and stooped to pick It tip.
Fnte, the humorist, determined thnt
the wife should keep her bend so high
thnt she did not see her husband stoop.
She went sailing on nnd douhle-1 over
him In riotous confusion.
The congregation held It breath and
kept It composure. The two recovered
themselves and went on. Moping to
escnpe quickly, they turned to whnt
looked like a side door. Thn busbnnd
pulled it open with nn Impressive
swing. Before ho could close It out
tumbled tlie window pole, a long duster
and a steplmlder. The congregation
could hold it mirth no longer, aud
man and wife fled to tlie real exit In
undignified haste amid a general and
pervnslve snicker.

It wns placed on the bow of the fiignte
In June, 1S.'!4, when she left the dry
dock In Chorlestown navy yard. The
excitement among the political enemies
of Jackson in Boston was Intense. A
meeting wn called In Fnneuil hall
which, however, did not take place
nnd niinnymous letter writer Uneaten

thn 2d of July, 1M:I4, In the midst of a
terrific thunderstorm, Hamuli I'. Dew
ey, n young man of twenty-eight, rowed
out to the vessel and managed to saw
off the head of the statue and carry it
away. Tlie head was replaced a mouth
later In New York, and the figure re
mained there until 1MT4. It now occu
pies a place In the grounds of tho Naval
school at Annapolis.
. Swelling; Her Income,
A good story la told of a man who
ono day told his wife that ho would
give her all the silver pieces she found
In his purse or pocket which were
coined the yenr she was born.
As n result tlie lady in duo course of
time hnd quite an amount of silver on
hand so much, in fact, thnt she went
to the bank and deposited It In ber
name.
Thou, speaking to the cashier, the
lady snld: "My husband tells mo you
nre going to pay lilm some money to
day. Will you please pay him In this
silver t have Just deposited? I should
be so much obliged to you if you
would."
Of course the cashier quickly replied
that he would be happy to please her.
As a result the lady ha still more
birthday money. Loudon Answers.
Reeoarnlsed the Smell.
The sexton of on Episcopal church in
Boston baa many stories to tell of the
remarks and comments made by vis
itors. Ono Christmas when the church was
beautifully decorated with cedars and
firs an old lady walked up the alslo
to the chancel und stood sultllng the
air after every one else bad left the
church.
"Don't it smell solemn?" she said at
lust to the sexton as she turned away
with evident reluctance. "I don't know
as I ever realized Just what the 'odor
of sanctity' mount beforo today. We
don't have any such trimmings In the
church I attend up In the country."

Quicksands have n horrible fascina

and the reality Is every bit ns bad an

marhalile quicksand accidents occurred
years ago In New Zealand. Two pros
pectors were waiting ncros the mouth
of n small stream running Into the son
In tlie north Island, of New Zealand.
Both slopped Into a quicksand. One
who merely touched the edge of It got
loose. The other sank rapidly and. In
spite of his companion's effort, was
sucked under. When an attempt was
made to recover tlie Isxly. It was found

Would you like to
feel Young Again?
Many old people ire lamef
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all, is that feeling
of languor, of Inability to act,
of weariness at trifling exertion.
Nothing will make the old
young again, but Vlnol will
prevent 99 out of 100 old people
from feeling so old.
There Is no humbug about It.
We found out about Vlnol, and
tried it every way before we
decided to put it on the market
and guarantee It. . Now we
believe that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who
will take a bottle of Vinol and
use it as directed will feel better
right away.
It will increase their strength,
relieve their lameness and
brighten their spirits.
It does this by nourishing.
Don't blame the old folks for
being blue and cross. Take
home a bottle of Vinol.
