The result is that the upper portion expands much more than the . lower. This uneven expansion causes a strain too great for a one-piece fire -pot to stand. Sooner or later it will split, allowing precious heat and sickening gases to escape. But the fire -pot cf the Sunshine is constructed to meet this Con- dition. It is in two sections. The upper half expands, as much as necessary, independently of the lower. When cool, it contracts back to its original size, fitting to the lower half perfectly. And this strong, unbreakable, «y gas and heat -tight, two-piece fire -pot is just one of the many superior features of the Sunshine.

While reading his evening paper the doorbell rang, and a parcel from a big department store was announced. The cost was 13O Bents, and he gave his little bright ayes, a girl of sic, a two dollar bill with which to pay the boy, Half an hour later the subject re- curred to him. "Here, Mabel," he said. "Where's that money I gave you for the boy?" "Why, papa," was little bright eyes' irep]y, "I did the same as you did yes literelay with the newsboy. I told him Ito keep the change." Belgium Shopkeepers. 1 Belgium shopkeepers generally are dealers in miscellaneous goods.

One evening ;when I was out I saw a tremendous ;light in the distance, and I thought it must surely be an advertisement for a Imusic hall. When I got nearer, I found that the light merely conveyed the in- ttelligence that sardines were sold on the premises. One Drawback. •'It's a good idea to have something laid by for a rainy day."

The bank was his shoe --the one on his Ieft foot. In due time the Confederates were found in line of battle across the line of marcb, and the Sixteenth was deployed, with a hundred other regi- ments, to face them. Skirmishing bad only begun when Corporal McFadden hncl his leg shattered by a bullet. Of course it was the left leg. He was car, reed to the field hospital In the rear, and, after a brief examination, the sur- geon snit]: "Sorry for you, corporal, but we must amputate the leg to save your life," it was n ease in which the victim had nothing to say. When he returned to c•ousciousness, his left leg had been am- putated at the knee, and he was lying among a hundred other wounded men. The loss of his money occurred to him at once, and be made the fact known to a comrade who had been shot in the shoulder. "Go out and find my left leg and that $300, and I'll give you half the money." said the corporal, and the man agreed. It was easy euough to find the "scrap neap" of legs and arms, but not so easy to identify n. left leg. There were A lath Talker; A rather distinguished man had one evening a visitor who began to speak about a certain branch of science. The host, perhaps a dozen times in the space of two hours and a half, gave a preliminary "Hemi" because be want- ed to say something, but the bore wav- ed him down with a suave "One me• went, If you please!" What the gagged man wanted to say and eventually did say was that his caller's lecture, though Interesting, was perfectly familiar to him, "You are, in fact," he concluded, "dis- coursing on my own special subject." Such a statement should have dis- concerted a man who had talked with one even Sow for the space of 150 min- , utes, but not at all! With the placid confidence of the thorough pacedbore he sweetly remarked: "Ah, well, you see h.. et copiously I can talk on tbat subject! Next time I call you shall see that I can be quite as fluent on another branch of knowl- edge."- ,..d The Doctor War There. The sheriff of a certain town, says the London Globe, very rich, but rather mean, consulted a clever local doctor who had made diseases of the eye hie special study concerning his sight. After a careful examination the doe tor said a cataract was forming anti there would have to be an operation. "Expensive?" asked the sheriff. "Twenty guineas," was the answer. "Must think It over," said the sheriff. Three months after the sheriff went by appointment to be operated on by a celebrated London specialist. 124 miles away. Now, it so happened that the specialist was ill and had to telegraph for a substitute. Judge of the aherif rs surprise when. the door of the operating room being opened, he found himself face to face with bis own local doctor. It was too late to retreat, howevert and the operation was performed. "Your fee?" asked the sheriff. "Forty guineast" was the quiet an - ewer. The Interested Engliabninn. A story Is told of an aristocratic Eng- lish immigrant who happened to be on board of a train that was held up by robbers near Grand Junction, Colo. The desperadoes ptit the conductor and &re- man out on a pile of rocks alongside the tracks and kept them covered with pistols. Being content with pillaging the ex- press and mail cars, tbey did not inter- fere with any of the passengers, - but the Englishman was so delighted at the notion of encountering an adven- ture that he Insisted upon leaving his car. When the porter tried to restrain him, he replied, "But I Want to observe how they rob a train In this blooming country, don't you know." Ile did ac- tually get as far as the platform, when a bullet tbrongh his hat persuaded him to retreat. -Saturday Evening Post.

"Hach of these grottoes, or caves," he says, "is ns large as an ordinary drawing room, and the natives assured me that they had been entirely hollow- ed out by the antelopes, which are known in this country as `dwleks.' Wishing to learn why the animals bus- ted themselves in making such excava- tions, 1 exatnined the caves and found that their walls were impregnated with salt, Its presence being clearly revealed by very characteristic crystallizations. A day or two later, as I was hunting, I noticed 14 antelopes rush out et one of these eaves as soon as they heard • too a ppron citing." M. 1)esuzinges also says that the elks in the Transvaal have a similar habit and may often be seen searching for salt near quarries or deposits of marl. Intellects.

The messenger made a selection and removed the shoe, but there was no money. Ile tried again and ag;iin. but dict not bit it. Then he gave up and searched no further. Soon after be let go a soldier who had been slightly wounded in the head came along and looked the "scrap heap" over and said to himself: "There are some good shoes here, and it would be a pity to bury them with legs and feet. I'll change mine for a better pair." In overhauling the relics he came upon Corporal McFadden's left leg. He removed the shoe and found it a fit. Then he found a right one and was provided for. Grant moved by the tlank that night, and the Confederates did the same. The field was left in pos- session of the union forces. Next morning the work of burial began. While a big hole was being dug for the amputated arms and legs Corporal Mc- Fadden sent word to the sergeant in charge of that detail about his $300. "Ile's crazy," replied the sergeant. "Here's a whole wagon load of beft Iegs, all looking alike, and how are we to pick out his?" No effort was ptade to do so. After an hour or so the last limb was tossed into the pit, and the men began shovel- ing in the dirt. As they worked away the sergeant suddenly said: "Here, now, but you've overlooked that leg iu the bushes. You, Smith, haul it out and dump it in." "But there's something inside the sock," said Smith. "Bold easy, tow, till 1 see what it is." With his knife the soldier ripped up the sock, and there was the corporal's greenbacks. Only three of the party saw the money. They winked at each other and pocketed the find and later on made a divide. That closed the in- cident for several weeks, Corporal McFadden was sent to a hospital in Washington and soon rallied. The sol- diers who had gobbled his money went to the front, and one day before Peters- burg Smith was mortally woundec. To ease his conscience he told about the "divide," and a chaplain wrote down his confession. 'When the other two men were called up, they denied the story. A surgeon And a stat officer be- came interested with the chaplain on one side, and the captain of Company 13, tbo cedebei bf the Sixteenth and others took up the other side. Curiout- ly enough, the soldier who stole Mc- Padden's shoe came forward and ac- knowledged sknowledged It, but It Was a long time before the money could bo trtced. 13y this time colonels, belgadiers and major generals had become interested, and Corporal McFadden's name waa a household word in the Army of the Pot tomae.

Yon Must know that a Japanese den- tist never uses anything but his fingers when extracting a tooth. They have no surgical instruments. This is how they are able to work: A number of holes are bored in a plank of wood and pegs inserted in them. The plank is laid on the floor, and the novice pulls them out with the finger and thumb of Iris right hand. By this practice strength and dexterity are acquired. Then au oak log with oak pegs is tried, and the young man Is kept on this for a year. The third year is put in by operating on a slab of marble which contains numberless pegs of the hardest wood.

"There is nothing more curious con- nected with the finny tribe than to watch the doings of the salmon family in Alaska," said an Alaskan dealer. "The most singular tiling of all Is that after the females deposit their spawn their earthly career terminates, and I have seen the bottoms of creeks covered with their dead bodies. They give birth to thousands of their kind and immediately die. The young ono) are then taken care of by the male salmon, and it is a web known fact that in three years from their birth the offspring reappear on the very ground of their origin, There are four varie- ties of this superb fish which make their appearance in regular order of succession. "In the spring the first to arrive Is the magnificent king salmon, which weighs all the way from fifteen to ninety pounds. About June 1 comes the sookey or red salmon, which visits our shores in enormous numbers and which is the common canning variety. A little later appears the log salmon, which only the Indians will eat, and finally, in August and September, the beautiful silver salmon arrives, the prettiest fish in all the world and one of the most palatable. "When the salmon enter the fresh water by a curious trick of nature their skin becomes red, but this pink hue does not affect the whiteness of their flesh. It 18 seldom that salmon will journey up a glacier stream, but the streams that have lakes at their beads literally swarm with them." - ATTACKING A SYSTEM.. Ie Involves Attacking the Men That Uphold the System. On every side I bear strange insist- ence upon the fact that it is only the system that is wrong. I hear people utter the following extraordinary words: "We do not attack individuals." What, in the name of the seven plan- ets, eau you attack except Individuals? How can one fight a system? If a sys- tem came into this room, what would you do to it? Would you take a gun or a fencing foil or a butterfly net or a horsewhip or a disinfectant? A system only exists in the minds of men, and if there is a very vile system in the minds of men there must be something very vile about their minds. I do not say that they may not have other virtues along with the qualities that make the bad system, I do not say that the upholders of any bad sys- tem are without any moral merits. I do not say that Italian brigands are without any moral merits. But, how- ever good or evil may be mingled in the character of an Italian brigand, nobody ever said that in dealing with persons of that profession you were not to attack individuals. You do not, in dealing with brigands, say that you merely attack the system. You attack the brigands -that is, sup- posing that you are in possession of the adequate bodily courage. -C.

William Makepeace Thackeray was always too genial, too generous, too open handed, to be an accumulator of this world's goods, and in spite of the large earnings of his pen he died a poor man. Shortly before his death his friend, Sohn Leech, the cartoonist, call- ed upon him and found him in his study writing -writing and sighing at the monotony of his work. "Why don't you have a holiday," said Leech, "and take your girls to the sea- side?" The great novelist made no verbal answer, but, rising slowly, plunged his hands to the very bottom of his pock- ets, brought these receptacles out, shook them vigorously without eliciting a rattle of Coin, replaced them and then resumed his seat.
