A STORY QF RAPHAEi., The Wey the Great Italian Painter (ince Settled a. Bill. Raphael, the great Italian painter whose' celebrated Biblical pictures are iworth fabulous sums of honey, was not a rich man when young. He en- countered some of the vicissitudes of life, like zztany another genius. Once ;when traveling he put up at an inn and remained there unable to get away through lack of funds to settle his bill. The Iandlord grew suspleious that such Was the •case, and lzls re• quests for a settlement grew more and more pressing. Finally young Raphael in desperation resorted to the folioW. ' Ing device; He carefully painted upon a table top in his room anumber of gold coins, and, placing the table in a certain light that gave a startling effect, he packed his Pew belongings and sutamoned his host. "There," he exclaimed, with a lord- ly wave of his hand toward the table, "Is enough to settle my bill and more, Now kindly show the way to the door," The Innkeeper, with many smiles and bows, ushered his guest out and then hastened back to gather up his gold. Ills rage and consternation when he discovered the fraud knew no bounds until a, wealthy English traveler, recog- nizing' the value of the nrt put in the work, gladly paid him 450 for the ta- ble. COUNTERFEIT COIN. The Way Uncle Sam's Officials Treat Spurious Money. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be con- selentious," said the man who had a scruple, hut lost it, "One day I found a half dollar in my pocket -I don't know how it got there -which didn't have 'sterling' written on it. Said 1 to myself philosophically: 'Uncle Sam is a scrupulous fellow, He doesn't no bad money In particular. , So he has established a subtreasury where he ex- changes bad money for good money.' I don't know why I thought this. I suppose I must have read It some- where. When I hacl finished speaking, I found myself looking into the weather beaten face of Washington on the steps of the subtreasury. So I enter- ed. Behind a cage I found a cleric. "Here is a half dollar I think is bad. Please give me a good one for it," I said meekly. The clerk took the coin, carefully • placed it on a die and brought a mallet down on it with a resounding blow'. Then he tossed the coin back to me and continued to count pennies, I looked at my coin and swore then and there I would never be so conscientious again. The face of liberty was battered into a big "0;" which plainly meant counterfeit. Will Makers' Whims. The late T. Bevan, one time M. P. for Gravesend, who directed in his will that his body should be cremated and "the ash residue ground to powder and again burned and dissipated in the air," is one of many men (and women) who have made equally remarkable arrangements for the disposal of their mortal remains. An angler who died recently directed that his ashes should be carried in a bait cau and scattered from a boat over the surface of his fa- vorite stream. Mrs. Erule-Erie-Drax directed that her body should be em- balmed and placed in a glass paneled coffin, for the reception of which a circular mausoleum with stained glass dome was to be built, while at his own wish the body of one of the Lords Newborough, after twelve Months' in- terment, was exhumed and reburied in Bardsey island, the reputed resting place of 20,000 saints. A Dramatic Child. When my son was two or three years old he was seated in his high chair at the table eating corn batter cakes and molasses, of which he was •fond. Aft- er eating as many cakes as were good for him he was told be could have no more. Heaving a great sigh, he took the plate in both hands and licked all the molasses off. Then, looking stead- ily at the plate as he held it up before him, he said seriously, "I ain't got no more use for you," and threw it back over his head to the floor, where it broke to pieces. Russian Jurymen. The most incredible stories have been told of Russian jurymen. Thus the foreman of a jury declared he would not send a poor fellow to prison be - cense it happened to be his (the jury- man's) birthday. Another jury had agreed upon a verdict of guilty when the church bells began to ring. They revised their Verdict because a holi- day had begun. .A. burglar was allowed to go free because the man whom he had robbed had refused to lend him :money. This in the opinion bf the jury ;was a direct incentive to crime. Warned. Minister's Wife (to her husband) - Will you help me to put the drawing room carpet down today, dear/ The room is beautifully clean. Minister (vexatiously) -Ah, well, 1 suppose I will have to. 'Wife -And don't forget, John, dear, while you are doing it that yotl are a minister of the gospel. --Lon- don Tit -nits. 'Then There Was a Row. "Note, sir," she commanded, "look me in the face and deny, if you dare, that you married me for money!" He raised his eyes until they were di- rected to het countenance and faltered: "Welt, I think 1 earned the cash, doti't you, dear?" -London Mail.

The Bagas Forehs, who live in French Guinea, quit life in a manner anything but commonplace. When a man dies his wife and children do not lament him, Instead they are angry at having been abandoned. They prop the body up against the house with the forked branch of a tree and invite their friends and relatives to come, all of whom are furious that one of their own has left them. When all the guests have arrived the wife of the deceased advances and addresses what was once her husband la a way well calcu- lated to scare his ghost away from the neighborhood. "There now, listen! You'd leave me, would you? So you don't want to IIve with me? Why do you do this way? Haven't I always been a good wife to you? Haven't I been a good mother to your children? Haven't your rice and fish always been well cooked? Have you anything to reproach me with? Nothing. Then shall not you go? Cow- ard! Traitor! You shall not leave without receiving the correction that such conduct deserves." Then the blows begin to rain down upon the poor defenseless figure. Pres- ently the tired wife gives place to the children, and they in turn to the rela- tives and friends, all of whom similar- ly abuse it. At length, with a natural human impulse, their fury spent, they try to make amends to the hapless corpse. They bathe it and bury it a meter deep inside the house, and each day at the dinner hour the family places on the tomb some grains of rice and a little palm wine for refreshment of the soul should it return. Long L.Iveo rrazors. "How long have you had this razor?" asked the barber. "A dozen years." "Fell," said he, "that is not bad. It's no record, though. Lots of my cus- tomers have razors that they've owned twenty and twenty-five years and used too. Why, one old man gets me to hone every three months a razor he bought over forty years ago. And it's such it good razor yet that this old man's son, whenever he wants a vel- vet shave, goes to his dad and borrows the veteran razor. A razor that with good use won't last twenty-five years is no razor at alt.'. Yourself. If you wish to be miserable you must think about yourself, about what you want,whatyou like, what respect people ought to pay you, and then to you noth- ing will be pure. You will spoil every- thing you touch, yon will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything which God sends you and you will be as wretched as you choose. Pure Love. When a woman chooses a man with a bald head, a pair of bowlegs and a Saturday night pay check of $10 you can't accuse her of marrying for any- thing but pure, unalloyed, uncontami- nated, unquestioned and undying love. -Lamar (Mo.)

When Done -With Ordinary Comers They Show aa Lines, Not Speck", It le an easy matter merely to pito- tograph stars. The trouble Is to pie- ture thein as points and not as streaks, for as the earth rotates it carries the photographic apparatus with it, and the light from the star makes a line, svlike the astronomer wants a point. Ile must therefore devise a machine that will counteract the movement of the earth. and so keep the light steadily in the same place on the plate. I leb- arate clockwork must tura the lens backward to keep it on the star and at the same rate as that at which the earth moves forward. An astronomer at the Yerkes obsery story nt Williams Bay, Wis., is quoted In St. Niehohis as saying that "many of the most important results of as- tronomy have been •derived from the use of an ordinary camera. On a clear night point one of these toward the north pole, and it will be found after an exposure of one or two hours that the stars which lie near the pole have drawn arcs of circles upon the plate. This is due to the fact that the earth Is rotating upon its axis at such a rate as to cause every star in the sky to appear to travel through a complete eircle onee in twenty-four hours. The mere act of photographing is not much more difficult tban a short ex- posure out of the window of a moving car. Any one can try it. Let the exposure be for at least five minutes if the camera is pointed over. head and for et least one hour' if di• rested toward the pole star. The cam. era may be left out all night If pointed at the pole, but must be taken In just before daylight. The longer the ex• posure the longer the star "scratches." Develop the plate as long as possible. DRIVING THE LOGS. Skill and Activity of the Expert River• man in Action. First and foremost your true river - man can ride a log. This does not mean merely that he is able to stand upright or to jump from one to another with- out splashing in, though even that is no mean feat, as a trial will convince you. That is the kindergarten of it. The saw log in the water is not only his object of labor, but his means of transportation. Your true riverman on drive seldom steps on land except to eat and sleep. A journey down stream is to him an affair of great simplicity. He pushes into the current a stick of timber, jumps Iightly atop it, Leans against his peavy and floats away as graceful and motionless as a Grecian statue. When his unstable craft overtakes other logs he deserts it, runs forward as far as he can, the logs bobbing and awash be- hind his spring, and so continues on another timber. Jack Boyd once for a bet rode for twelve miles down Grand river on a log he conld carry to the stream's bank across his shoulders. Fully half the time his feet were sub- merged to the ankles. Nor does quick water always cause your expert riverman to disembark. Using his peavy as a balancing pole and treading with squirrel-like quick- ness as his footing rolls, he will run rapids of considerable force and vol- ume. When the tail of a drive passes through the chute of a dam there are always half a dozen or so of the rear men who out of sheer bravado will run through standing upright like circus riders and yelling like flends.-Stewart Edward White in Outing Magazine.
