Father Gives His Son Sgme Pointers But Fiads the Boy Is Not §o Very Green. “So you've had a fight, have ydu?” sald his father. The boy was so badly out of breath that it was a minute or two before h¢ could get wind enough to say: “Yep, &nd somehow the old man didn’t seem to regard the breathlessness as a partic- ularly auspicious omen, relates the New York Tribune. “Didn't you lick him?” he asked. “Nope,” replied the boy. “l guess you didn’t follow your poo! wld father's advice,” said the old man “I suppose you thought you knew more about it than he ever had a chance tc learn, and went at the other fellow with some new-fangled uppercuts or swings or something of that sort and let him get in under your guard while you were figuring out the scientific points of some new blow. Sclence ix all right, I sup- pose, in a fight by rounds, where there have been all the usual preliminaries but I've seen the time when a scientific fighter would get the tar licked out o1 him while he was getting his science ready for use. Now, when I was a boy and saw there was a fight coming on 1 eimed to get in the first blow.” “That's my way ” said the boy. “It is, eh?” returned the old man “Well, I don’t see iow a boy can get licked if he goea in on that system, un- less he's too easy with the first blow I tell you, when I was a boy,” and the old man began to get excited, “my aim was to swipe him first and swipe him hard. I'd just land him one over the eye or undey the chin and it would be all over. Youu see, when you paste a fellow In the ear you want to paste him @ hot one, and then—" “And then suppose he lands brick pile,” interrupted the boy. “W-what?” asked the old man, rath- er startled. “Suppose he lands on a brick pile when you hit him and gets up with a halt 4a brick in each hand, what's the next move iu the system that never failed when you were a boy?” “My boy,” said the old man, severely, after uw minute of thoughtful considera- tion of the subject, “fighting is a bad busiaess at best, and I am surprised that you should expect your father te give you advice that would be sure to lead you into trouble, and very likely would tend toward the cultivation of a bois- terous, quarrelsome disposition. Now run out and play, and don’t bother me any more.” ENEMIES YET FRIENDS. on 3a Soldiers in Battle Spare and Sustalm Each Other Although om Opposing Sides. Many stories tell how the soldiers in our civil war, men in blue and men in gray, held friendly parleys between the lines during intervals when firing ceased. Here the triumph of human fellowship over the bitter business of war was natural, for the opposing ranks were of the same nation and the same speech. Two instances of human broth- erhood between foes of different nations WHERE FLAG FIRST WAVED. | Memorial to Be Erected on Famous Revolutionary Hill in Somer< ville, Mass. Work will soon begin on the erection of a memorial observatory on the top of historic Prospect hill, Somerville, a sum of money having already been set aside by Mayor Glines for the car- rying out of such a purpose, says the Boston “Post of reeent date. Prospect hill is noted for the prominent part it took in the revolutionary war and it was from the top of this hill that the first American flag was thrown to the breeze. The observatory is to take the form of a tower and will closely resemble an old English castle. Situated upon the now unoccupied mound, which has been allowed to remain on the Munroe street side of the parkway, it will greatly add to the artistic beauty of the spot. The tower will be 45 feet high. The top will be flat and protected to =a Leight of four feet by a parapet, with iron gratings in the embrasures, and will afford a view that cannot be equaled in Boston. The walls of the tower will be of rough granite and will be 30 feet in diameter. Tworooms will be set apart for the exhibition of historic relics and souvenirs. The structure from the second floor will be hexagonal in shape, resting on six col umns. The cost of the tower is esti mated to be about $6,000. CAUSE OF FLAT WHEELS. Brakemen Put on the Brakes Toe Suddenly and Start the Trouble, “Flat wheels,” growled the old rail road brakemen, as the trolley car in whick he sat went thumping along at 12 miles an hour, shaking the pas- sengers uncomfortably at every rev- olution of the wheels, relates the New York Times. “What makes flat wheels?” asked the man sitting next the old brake: man. “Darn fools.” said the brakeman. “It's this way: If a man doesn’t know how to stop his car he makes a flat wheel. On the steam roads some brakemen flatten a wheel every time they put on the brakes. When the wheel suddenly stops revolving and the momentum of the train car- ries it on, the wheel slides along the track and a flat is started. Next stop, perhaps, makes it worse, and so the thing goes until the wheel is no good. If a brakeman knows his business he need never make a flat wheel unless he has to stop suddenly to avoid an accident. If he keeps his wheels turning slowly they don’t flatten. Now, these fellows on the trolleys take no care at all, and every other car in some places has » Gat wheel” SMALLEST STATE IN EUROPE. Recently Lost Its Identity by Being Annexed to Belgium—Had Only 1,200 Inhabitants. Few people are aware that smallest state in Europe: has Public Ledger. San Marino, nor Andorra, nor Leichtenstein, but Moresnet—a small scrap of territory between Belgium and Prussia, not far from Aix-la-Cha- pelle. The independence of Moresnet dates from 1815, and it was ouly a few ment for its absorption. Belgium, while Prussia receives a pe- cuniary indemnity. The amount of the latter should be large, for neutral are related by Mr. James Elkinton in his book on the Doukhobors. The stories were told him by a veteran of the Cri- mea, Ivan Mahortov, who fought for the czar. During the siege of Sebastopol, when the batteries on each side were decimat- ing the ranks of the other, at least three times he heard men of the enemy say- ing: ‘Brethren, Russians, don’t hit— fire aside;” and the Russians responded: “Fire aside, brother.” “After this,” said the old man, with tears in his eyes, “there was no more + such carnage, and would to God that men and angels might never witness such awful work again!” The other instance of the humanity which will ever assert itself while men are men, even when the grim destiny ot war compels them to act as destroyers, came to Mahortov’s personal knowledge in this way: The commander of his ship detailed him to visit a small detachment of the crew, who had been stationed on the land to raise vegetables in a certain ra- vine. Three of the Russian sailors had been captured by the English. Mahor- tov, taking tremendous risk—for it was in the heat of the war—stole through the picket lines at night. One of his brethren found him secreted in the bush near the etation, and threw his arms about Mahortov’s neck. Ma- bortov asked if they had any food and received this surprising answer: “Ih, yes, the English send us coffee, bread and butter in the morning, and the same food they have themselves twice a day ‘beside this. And they tell us: ‘Don’t be afraid; we won't harm you. It is only the governments that are guilty in this business.’ " Strange Facet, ; There are 183,000 miles of rallway routes. Strange as it may seem, mileage is considerably surpassed the distance over which malls are ed on horseback or by wagon. The tity of mall so carried, however, comparatively trifling. i ooutls In serun.

The decision was hastened by the estab- lishment of a gambling hell there, which was stopped by the Belgium government. The inhabitants, who paid no taxes and were free from military service, will be the losers by their compulsory incorporation in the Belgian kingdom. But as thers are only 1,200 of them they could not resist the act of annex- ation. Had they, like San Marino, de- clined the dangerous gift of a casino they might have remained neutral and obscure. Dealing in Broken Glass. One of the novel trades of London is that of a dealer in second-hand plate-glass. Nearly all of this glass is bought by the dealer from insur- ance companies. The large plates of this kind of glass are insured when put in a window, and when any of them are broken, the owner of the in- jured glass usually prefers that the insurance company should replace the broken plate rather than he should be paid its price. The dealer in the sec- ond-hand glass contrives to utilize what remains of the unbroken part of the glass, cutting it into panes of smaller American mission at Rahuri, Bombay, India, who were inoculated against plague, only one girl caught the dis ease, and she recovered.

Car Corresponding to the House Boat a Possible Development from Present Conditions. Now that parlor cars and sleeping sars on trolley lines are established we may be privileged to speculate a bit as to what will come next as an annex of the broomstick train. Sup- pose we hazard the guess that it will be the trolley house—first cousin to the house boat, says the Boston Tran- script. By the building of spurs and side tracks in delightful spots at country or seashore at a fair and far distance from the main lines resting places for these moveable dwellings could be comfor- tably mtanaged. At one of them a trol- ley house might remain for as long a time as contentment was the staying power and when this burning out the rolley pole might be put in contact with ihe wire and the trolley house trundled away to pastures new. Of course, thisis merely the roughest outline of a possible development of the electric car, but it is the pleasantest part upon which the lay mind can dwell. Details of it, like the securing of suitable drinking water and the training of every tenant of one of these dwellings to be his own motorman way as well be left to the conisaeration of those whose business it would be to perfect them. ARAPAHO AND SHOSHONE. Indian Tribes Have Distinctive Be. signs for the So-Celled Pare fleches Made by Them. The slight differences of styles which occur are well exemplified in the style of painted rawhide bags or envelopes, the so-called “‘parfleches,” writes Prof Franz Boas, in the Popular Science Monthly. Mr. St. Clair has observed that the Arapaho are in the habit of laying on the colors rather delicately, in areas of moderate size, and of following jut a general arrangement of their mo- tives in stripes; that the Shoshone, on the other hand, like large areas of solid colors, bordered by heavy blue bands, and an arrangement in which a central field is set off rather prominently from the rest of the design. This difference fs so marked that it is easy to tell a Shoshone parfleche that has found its way to the Arapaho from parfleches of Arapaho manufacture. In other cases the most characteristic difference con- sists in the place on the parfleche to which the design is applied. The Arapa- ho and the Shoshone never decorate the sides of a bag, only its flaps, while the tribes of Idaho and Moutana always dec- orate the sides. Canal Is Profitable. During the month of July, 3,307 ves- sels, measuring 454,573 register tons net, used the North sea and Baltic canal, against 3,217 ships and 413,466 tons in the same month of 1902. The dues col- lected amounted to 211,601 marks sgeinst 192,719 marks. SPIRITS OF THE DROWNED. How the Chinese Appease the Manes of the Departed—Custom of Taoist Religion. Shanghai residents seeking cool breezes on the river recently could not fail to notice the number of Chinese boats flying gayly colored lanterns and scattering burning paper on the water. Not only paper, but wonderfully con- structed oiled paper lamps of various colors, which were dropped from the boats to float on the water, sometimes trails of 12 or 13 red, blue and green lamps bobbing up and down on the muddy waters of the Wrangpoo, says the Shanghai Mercury. Inquiry of even the meanest natives elicited the reply that joss pidgin was being done to keep the drowned men quiet. This is in reality a very ancient custom developed under the Taoist re- ligion, which teaches that the spirits of the drowned flit miserably over and under the water until such time as cash is paid to the gods to release them from their purgatory. Failing this re- lease, the drowned spirit lays in wait to catch boatmen sitting by the water's edge at dark and pull them into the .water to take their places, when they themselves escape. Hence, clinging to the old supersti- tion, everywhere for the past 15 days of the seventh moon the Chinese as- semble in bands and go down the rivers in their boats, beating gongs and burning paper money. Products of modern life are curiously blended with the old ideas, as we see every- where in China, and in this festival steam launches are often to be seen towing a string of boats with colored lanterns waving to and fro. One pro- cession of boats carrying over 100 lan- terns and scattering others in their wake was preceded by the music of a cornet, a strange anomaly indeed.

The method is to reduce the wood to the finest layers possible, then to subject it to a vapor process for ten hours. The pulp is then plunged into a soda bath, where it stays 86 hours. It 1s thus transformed into a kind of cellulose, to which a resistant quality 1s given by adding oll and gelatin. Then it 1s drawn out and untangled by ma- chinery.
