A big St. Bernard dog recently saved
the life of Josle Smith, aged nine vears,
who fell into an open cistern. Passers
by saw the dog sniffing and smelling
around the curb, and then they saw
him disappear through the hole. In a
short time they heard muffled barkB
and they at once ran to the spot. They
found the noble animal supporting the
little girl's head out of water with its
paws, while it Kept up a barking for
help. The girl was lifted out and then
the big dog was assisted from the cis
tern. The animal followed the girl and
watched over her until she was .fiilly
restored to consciousness.

restaurants and
hotels have felt obliged to raise their
price, for food. One of the proprietors
explainstoareporter that "it Is a case
of put up prices or shut'up shop." He
says that during the last Ave years—
about the era of "UcKlnley prosperity"
—"food prices have advanced 50 per
cent., and 36 per cent, of this has been
scored since last January."
Every housekeeper who is obliged to

If this state of things shall continue

ticular friars are members. What the
Vatican would prefer would be to have
this whole subject left to. the discretion
of the church authorities, to be worked
out gradually, and without any shuw of
compulsion or pressure. It would prop
ably be regarded as a violation of the
treaty of peace with Spain if the United
States should forcibly remove the friars
from tbe Philippines. The great point,

is gained when the fri­

motive for wishing to have the proceeds
of the sale of these lands used for the re
establishment anywhere in the islands
of wholly unwelcome members of tbe
religious orders. On one pretext or an
other, these friars will inevitably be
withdrawn, and they naturally go either
to Spain or to the South American

On the contrary we find, in the
latest report of one of the state boards
ot agriculture, elaborate directions for
utiliziog it as feed. One farmer says
he was led to change his opinion of the
Russian thiBtle by observing the greedy
manner in which live stock would eat
tbe young plants and now, wherever
they are present, he advises their use as
pasture or hay. The thistles grow on
broken land, and may be grazed upon
to within three weeks of cutting for hay,
needing no rain in the Interim.
In this little history may be seen the

fruits have been developed by culture

THE TELLTALE THUMB.
It. Marks and Line, ul It. Hl,.il
From the Brala.
A tremendous amount of nonsense
has been wrltteu about thumb marks.
It is clulmed that the curious skin con
figuration on the ball of the thumb 1,
never the same In any two people and
that it never changes. The first state
ment is correct, and the same thing can
be said of the lines on the palm and
the creases on the bottom of the feet
But the assertion that the thumb marks
never change throughout life is a de
cided exaggeration. The alteration may
conie from a variety of causes—any
thing, In fact, that will destroy the
outer layer of skin.
Another modifying cause is tbe tend
ency of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases as one grows old.
This is especially true of mechanics and
other working people who use tools,
and eventually the creases will break
np the lines to such an extent that it
is equivalent almost to a rearrange
ment of the pattern. Specialists in
nerve diseases by an examination of
the thumb can tell If tbe patient is
affected or likely to be affected by
paralysis, as the thumb signals this
long before It Is visible In any other
part of tbe body. If the danger symp
toms are evidenced there, an operation
is,performed on what is known as the
thumb center" of the brain, and the
Border, is often removed.
No matter how carefully the individ
ual may attempt to conceal incipient ln
s«n|$r, the thumb will reveal it lnfal

-patient in his dally work permits the
thumb to stand r.t aright angle to the
other fingers or to fall listless into the
palm, taking no part in his writing, his
handling of things, his multiform du
ties, but standing isolated and sulky. It
is an unanswerable confession of men

rolled along—then it was gathered in
mighty piles and burned. But it was
not long before the discovery was made
that the despised tumbleweed had been
very much maligned. Instead of being
an unmitigated nuisance and peet, it
was found to be a valuable forage plant,

cording to Dr. Brewer, originated from
Roman custom and became the com
mon custom after the Roman occupa
tion. Thus Julia and Octavla, married
to Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavla
of Cicero, and in latter times married
If -tlte4-women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of." Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
sixteenth and even at the beginning of
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful, since we find Catha
rine Parr so slgniug herself after she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey (not
Dudley), Arabella Stuart (not Sey
mour), etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
as Bracton (died 1208), and it was de
cided in tbe case of Bon versus Smith,
in tbe reign of Elizabeth, that a woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus
band. Altogether the custom is involv
ed in much obscurity. 5 sy

Age.
"People grow old unnecessarily,"
says a writer. Wrong. People grow
old becanse they can't help it. Occa
sionally you find men who are still use
ful and vigorous at seventy-five, but
such men inherit unusual health from
their ancestors. They are not cheer
ful at seventy-five because of any "sys
tem." The average human machinery
wears out in from slxty-elgbt to seven
ty-five years. Ever remark the great
number of deaths that- occur between
sixty-eight and seventy-live? The will
power has nothing to do with the kid
neys or the liver. A man who accepts
old age as a fact and acts as an old
man should will live longer than the
old man who tries to bo a boy a~nd in
dulges in boyish dissipations when he
should be in bed.—Atchison Globe.

Finding tlie clerk on, but not
on to me, I asked him, giving him my
name, if I was in. Not knowing the
number of my room, I decided this-was
the way to find out.
"He looked at me rather suspiciously.
Evidently the result of his inspection
toss not reassuring, for, after making
a bluff at feeling in my box, he replied
quite stiffly:
'No, sir Mr. Fairehlld is not in.'
I sat down on the lounge and said
calmly:
'Well, when he comes in please tell
him that he is here looking for him
self.'

A Royal Tragedy.
Frederick I. of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane, and one
day Bhe escaped from her keepers and,
dabbling her clothes In blood, rushed
upon her husband while he was dozing
In bis chair. King Frederick imagined
her to be tbe white lady whose ghost
was believed to appear whenever the
death of a member of the royal family
was to occur, and be was thrown into a
fever and died in six weeks.
The Attraction.
Gladstone told Lord Ronald Gower
that once when he visited Itorne he ac
cidentally met Macaulay, who Intro
duced himself to the statesman. On
Macaulay's telling hlin that he took a
dally walk in St. Peter's. Gladstone
asked him what most attracted him In
that place. "The temperature," was
the answer.
Notifying the God.
One of the odd things the visitor to
Burma will notice is the large number
of bells about tho pagodas. These bells
are usually hung on sacred posts a few
feet abovo the ground.
They are sweet toned, as all Burmese
bells are, but tbey are not furnished
with tongues. The worshiper who
comes to pray before the pagoda
strikes one of these bells with a wood
en mallet This is to attract tho atten
tion of the god.
Ammonia.
Ammonia is one of the most useful
drugs in the household. It is most cfi
fectlve as an agent in dissolving dirtj'
and grease. In cleaning of any kind
it should be used in about tbe propor
tion of a tablespoonful to a quart of
water. It makes tbe water softer than
rainwater and is especially refreshing

knowledge of this law
would save many flower growers hours
of unavailing and foolish hope. The
law Is simply this: The three colors
red, blue and yellow—never all appear
In the same species of flowers any
two may exist but never the third.
Thus we have the red and yellow
roses, but no blue: red and blue verbe
nas, but no yellow yellow and blue in
the various members of the viola fam
ily (as pansles, for instance), but no
red red and yellow gladoll, but no
