There is a decidedly humorous side which occasionally comes to light in connection with the undertakings of municipal corporations, but the action ! of the enterprising city fathers of a small Hungarian town is certainly unique. The mayor and whole town cou-heil, consisting of eight members, formed themselves into a hand of forg crs, and carried on a thriving business In the town hall, manufacturing paper ! notes current In Austria, which they circulated pretty extensively. A work shop, well fitted with the necessary Implements, was fixed up In a cellar of the town hall, and they actually set policemen to guard the door while they were at work. This remarkable state Of affairs existed for over a couple of years, when the business was detected, the mayor and councillors fighting like '■ professional brigands on being ar rested. Didn't Know Kipling. Mr. Howells has lately spoken of Rudyard Kipling as the most famous man In the world today. It would. In deed. be difficult to suggest a man whose name is more widely known. The following story is a curious com mentary on the value of fame: Dur ing Kipling's illness, Henry James, the American author, was one night driv- i Ing home In a cab from his club In j London. The news had just come that the crisis was past and the great writer : was on the road to recovery. As he stepped out on the sidewalk, Mr. James handed the paper he had bought to the cabman. "Kipling's all l ight," he said. The cabman took the paper and leaned down with a puzzled look on his face. "I don't seem to know the name o' the 'oss!" he said.—St. Louis Republic.

Prince Krapot.kin, in Nature, says that on Aug. 26 while off Broadstairs, he noticed several flocks of gulls flying along the coast toward Dover. The wind was then and had been through out August from the northeast., but an old fisherman remarked that the gulls were moving to the south coast to meet a southwest wind, which war, sure to come. The change then predicted then occurred the following day. Mr. Ing alls strengthens this forecast by a statement in hi 3 Weather Lore: "The arrival of sea gulls from the Solway Firth to Holywood, Dumfriesshire, is generally followed by a high wind ana heavy wind from the southwest" Attention is cnllod to the very useful articles contained in the premium list of tne Continental Tobacco Co.'a advertisement of their Star Ting Tobacco in nnother column of this paper.

Companies of the World • Man Might Get Perhaps S 10,000,000. Several papers have published a paragraph to the effect that the Prince of Wales is insured for about £lO,- 000,000, a portion of the insurance being for the benefit of creditors, und a much larger portion in favor of per sons neither Velated to him nor hav ing any iuterest whatever in his Jiv ing, Professor A. F. Harvey, the in surance actuary, who is authority ou all such matters, considers the state ments ridiculous, and particularly the one that Prince Albert is insured for the benefit of people who have no in surable iuterest in him. "Up to about 125 years ago the practice of taking out insurance on the lives of Kings, Queens and others in authority, where there was no possible insurance iuterest, obtained to a great extent," said the Professor when his attention was called to the paragraph. "The practice became so general, scandalous and vicious that in 1774 Parliament enacted a statute (14 Geo. 3, c. 48), prohibiting abso lutely all insurance in which there was no interest to the beneficiary in the life of the principal iu tho con tract, and prohibiting the payment oi money under a policy written to se cure a debt beyond the actual sum due. This law against wager or gam bling policies was followed up in France aud Germany and iu most of the States of this country, aud has since been rigidly enforced every where." The amount of life insurance car ried by the Priuce of Wales has never beeu made public, aud is probably known to only a lew people. It is evident, however, that the total is not one-tenth of the sum named in the paragraph referred to. The most heavily insured man in the United States is ex-Postmaster-General John Wauamaker, of Philadelphia, and his insurance amounts to only $2,025,000. The word "only" applies hero be cause of the comparison with $48,- 600,000, or, to be more accurate, $48,- 775,000, according to the present market value here of $10,000,000. At a meeting of the National Life Under writers' Association in Philadelphia four years ago Mr. Wauamaker stated that one of the first things he did after becoming of ago was to insure his life. When Mr. Wauamaker ad dressed the Association his life in surance amounted to $1,525,000, and all but $60,000 had beeu taken after ho was fifty years of age. According to an Eastern insurance journal "the amount of life insurance which cau be secured upon a single life among the United States com panies foots up $2,600,000." The paper gives a tabulated list of forty two old-line companies aud what pur ports to be the limit of each. The figures are correct in tho main, but there are seme bad errors in the list. Some of the companies insure for more than the amounts credited to them, but in every such case the com pany reinsures a portion of the risk. The figures in the table represent the limits without such reinsurance. Of course, there could he no reinsurance on a persou that tocfic the limit in every company. Legal reserve aud stipulated premium companies that are not usually classed as old-liners are omitted from the table, as also assess ment companies, fraternal organiza tions and several industrial companies that write very little, if any, ordinary life insurance. Accident companies i that pay death claims, but do not write ordinary life insurance, are like wise omitted. Inc.'udiug all these, tho total life iusuruuee that a persou j could get in the United States would ; probably still fall below $3,000,000. j There are about 350 life insurance I companies iu tho world, not couutiug | American companies. Very few of them insure for as much as $25,000 ' and the average is not half that sum, ! but supposing it were $20,000 the total would be 0n1y57,000,000, which, j added to the American total, would still make only about oue-lifth the sum I the Prince of Wales is reported to be j insured for. A Itemuvkit hie Cliuvitv. | An appeal lias appeared iu a Berlin contemporary for a remarkable char | ity. Some two hundred years ago, j says the Jewish World, when the Ber j liu community was still very small, pious Jews founded a sooiety in con nection with tho religions service then held by mourners at break of dawn. In order, however, to enable the poor to observe "the seven days of mourning for relatives with some de gree of comfort, the following scheme was devised and which is still, we be lieve, in use in other towns besides Berlin. Two boxes fitted with one aud the same key were sent to the house of the mourner. In the first was a purse the mourner had to emp ty. If in need he retained as much of the money as he required; if in fair circumstances he could put the money in the second box, and even, if he chose, augment thu sum from his pocket. None but the administrative committee had therefore an inkling of who had given or who had taken. For discretion, simplicity and trust iu human goodness this Jewish char ity caunot well he excelled.—Loudon Globe. Hi. Forlorn dominion. The moat forlorn object in Atchison at present is a man who is visiting his kin. Ho is accompanied by his wife. 3he is being taken around to aftor noon parties and is receiving aud re turning calls. She has the appearance of being in her element. He wanders up one side of tho street and down the other until meal time. In tho evening he feels like talking, having beeu lone some all day, but thu men of the household have beeu working all day, are tired and go to bed, and the wom en are being "entertained," so he goes to bed at 8.30 o'clock.—Atchison Globe. If silverware is kept clean it does not often have to be polished. After using the silver it should always be washed with a suds, made by dissolving some shavings of Ivory Soap in warm water, then wiped dry and rubbed lightly with a soft paper, a chamois skin or a piece of flannel. All highly-polished metal surfaces will retain their polish much longer if this plan is followed and rubbing with compounds avoided as much as possible.

Bleeding of the nose is often very difficult to stop, but the efficacy of the following method is vouched for by a correspondent of the New York Times. The writer says: "Cut some blotting paper about an inch square, roll It about the size of a lead pencil, and put it up the nostril that is bleeding. The hollow in it will allow the sufTerer to breathe: the blood will fill the space between the tub 3 and the nose, and will very soon coagulate and cease to Bow." Br.utj- I# Blood Deep.
