Clients Faced a Cocked Gun While Handing Over Their Dust, Many years ago gold was diseovered at liokitika, on the west coast or New Zealand. There was a rush to the small Maori village, and within a few weeks seventy vessels, of all rigs and tonnago, Were waiting to get over the clangorous harbor bar. The author of "Antipodean Notes" describes the tiret Wok established in the little town With the vessels came t wo agents or a local bank. Their bank furulture consisted of a safe, 11 pair of senles, a tent and it couple of revolvers. 'at! two agents set up their tout, put the safe in the back part and a plank, laid across two tree stumps, in front. The bank "staff" sat down behind the plank; before one man were the settles. a bottle of avid and a note. book; the other held a vocked revolver. The digger brought his gold to the plank "vounter," where it was weigh. ed and tested. When the value was detorMinod the testing clerk unlocked the safe, placed the gold iu it, brought out n bundle of dirty banknotes and handed tbena to the digger. During this transaction the clerk with the revolver looked carefully about to see If eny sumpleious persons were lurking near. I have eaten your concrete biscuits, Your puree of soap 1 have drunk, Of the things you have fried Almost have I died, E'en to knitted neckties have I sunk. I have vie to the show with your mq ,e4ev, Aft zors loaned to your pa, I furnielieetlie bail For your brother in jail, And got him released from the law. I have listened to Friend Blanche's letters (They gave me a three -cornered pain), I have smiled all along Through that fat tenor's song, And asked him to sing it again. I've taken my pipe and tobacco And down in the cellar I've sat, Lest the fumes of the pipe (Which is somewhat o'erripe) Should on card party night scent the flat. But that, my heart's own, is the limit; Pause now on our first quarrel's brink, Though the kindest of men, I will not have a "den," Nor a wadded silk jacket f pink. Su Dread of Croup. Every mother dreads croup unless she knows about Dr. Chase's Syrup of Lin- seed and Turpentine. Given in frequent small doses, at the first indication of tronble, this treatment loosens the cough and affords relief and comfort. Its use should be keptup until the child is entirely recovered. In the West of England, especially Cumberland, the greater part of the rain falls in winter, but in the east the fall is heavier in the summer half of the year Good talkers are usually poor quitters.

GOOD ADVERTISING PAYS. Before You Can Reap a Harvest You Must First Sow the Seed. The ordinary newspaper or periodieal reader doesn't dream of the potency ot good advertising. One of the largest general advertisers in the United States, if not quite the largest, is a manufacturer in the P hi la d el p h ia met- ropolitan district. There is it clever ending race at that plant between the advertising deport- ment and the builders. The advertisers bring in so much business that the builders are kept busy enlarging the factory. Something like $1,000,000 a year is spent in advertising this itompany's output, which is a luxury in every sense. At th.e present moment orders for new business are so far ahead of the capacity of the plant that it would seem a hopeless job ever to catch up But the advertisers never relax. The head of that great concern now knows almost better than anybody else that before you can reap a harvest you must first sow the seed. The advertis- ers are the chaps that are doing that - Philadelphia Ledger. Where Red Hair Is Disliked. In Cornwall, particularly the Land's End district, it is not advisable to dub a person "a red haired Dane," though In most parts of England, especially Inland, the expression would as likely as not provoke no comment at all or be regarded as simply frivolous. At a pollee court case heard in 1867 at Penzance town hall it came out In evidence that the defendant had called the complainant "a red haired Dane," and this led to an assault. The strong repugnance of Cornishmen to be dub- bed by this strange appellation is as strong as ever. The Celtic nations hated the Danes and were always fighting them. And not only in Cornwall, but also :111 along our eonsts, where the Danes or Norse. men made their' ravages, this deep rooted prejudice against people with red hair, "red headed," more or less remains ingrained in the national char- acter. -J. Harris Stone in "The Eng- lish Illustrated." PREPARING FOR OLD AGE. If You Reach Sixty.five Years W hat Will Be Your Condition? Actuaries say that of each thousand men living at the age of twenty DM will sun be alive at sixty.five. Econ- omists declare that of the 500 living at sixty-five 200 will be in want; that eight -ninths of the patiperisni in Amer- ica is among people who have passed this same age of sisty-tive A man is, of course, sometimes brought to want in old age through accident, through continued illness of himself or his family, through a dozen and one tnischauces against which even the wisest is helpless adequately to provide. In spite of this, however, there are certain tried and proved rec. lpes by which a young man may whir- antee at least the probability that be will not be found among the unfortu- nate 200 after the Age of sixty-five. Avoidance of wasteful. destructive habits; thrift, economy, the practice of spending habitually less than one earns, the habit of study, vvhich in- creases one's usefulness and earning power -such are a few of the stable qualities which distinguish the young man approaching all independent old age from the one approaching a con- dition of want. Stand the actuary's thousand men in a row, divide them into two groups, the one possessing the habits and qualit.es noted above and the other lacking them, and there would be little difficulty in telling from which group will come the 200 and from which the 800. -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Queer Decision of the Most Primitive Race on Earth. The "north pole natives" alluded to by Captain Amundsen in a recent lec- ture were discovered by him while he was navigating his little craft. the Gjoa, through the Northwest passage In 1003-7. He christened them "Nech1111" and considered them to be the most primi- tive race on earth. No white man had ever before invaded their icy fast- nesses. Consequently they were igno- rant of the use of iron. Their fishing implements were long spears, fashion- ed out of reindeer horn. They knew. no other method of procuring fire than that of rubbing two pieces of wood to- gether. They Were. in short, still in. the stage of civilization reached by our ancestors of the stone age. So cut off were they from others of their kind that they imagined their tribe was the only one In the world and displayed the utmost astonishment when told ot populous countries far to the south, where neither Ice nor snow was. The Gjoa and her crew they thought to have dropped from the moon. and the first Nechilli to come aboard felt the deck. masts, boats, oars, all the while whispering to one another In amazement, "How much wood there is in the moon -how very mtic11!"--7London Standard. About forty-two thousand persons are engaged in the manufacture of musical instruments in the U. S. More than 3,090,000 gross of pencils aee annually made in Philadelphia.

There is a lady in Richmond who has in her employ a darky servant of' a most curious disposition. "Did the postman leave any letters, Lily?" the mistress asked on one occa- sion on retnrning from a call in the neighborhood. "There ain't nuthIn' but a postal card, ma'am." said Lily. "who is it from?" asked the mistress craftily. " 'Deed, I don't know, ina'am," said Lily, with an air of entire innocence. "Well, any one dint sends me a mes- sage on a postal card is either very stupid or impertineut." suggested the lady of the house. "Excuse me, ma'am," said Lily, with dignity, "but that ain't no way totalk 'bout yo' own mother!" -Philadelphia Ledger. Much of the cork used throughout the world comes from Portugal, which har- vests about 50,000 tons a year. Population of Earth. The population of the entire earth is around 1,600,000,000. Of this number, Asia has over half, 850,000,000; Africa, 127,000,000; North America, 120,000,- 000; South America, -15,000,000; Austra- lasia, 5,000,000; Europe, 380,000,000; polar regions, 300,000. There are no means of estimating the increase in the earth's population, owing to the paucity of statistics and the compara- tively recent date at which any sort of statistics were possible. But it is safe to say that from now on, owing to the spread of science the human in- crease will be greater than ever before. New York American.
