Happenings of a Y/eek Tfcrongh
out the State.
To show that he had some vlsiblo
means of support James Brown, a
professional beggar, showed Judge
Smith of Minneapolis a list of "easy
marks" who he could call upon from
time to time and receive food and
money. This list he kept in order to
sell names to his vagrant friends who
might also need nutritious "handouts."
The judge decided-the means of sup­
port thus shown was not sufficient
and Brown went to the workhouse for
thirty-five days.
Cigarette smoking is under judicial
ban in Hennepin county. Judge Dick­

that he must adjourn to the corridor.

IMITATION PEARLS.
They May Be Detected by the Hofa
Drilled Through Them.
The means of ascertaining the genu­
ineness of pearls, which are frequently
imitated with marvelous skill, Is es­
pecially Important to the layman, even
though the Jeweler may quickly detect
them. Imitations are usually lighter
than real pearls and generally are brit­
tle, although some are made solid of
fish scales and do not break so easily*
while the holes, which in the real pearl
ire drilled very small and have a sharp
edge, are in the false larger and have a
blunt edge. As a rule, the Imitation
pearls are like hollow spheres of glass
colored Internally with a coating imi­
tating the orient of natural pearl.
The manufacture of these articles
embraces two series of operations—the
production of the sphere and the intro­
duction of coating. The spheres are
produced by the glassblower, who by
aid of an enameler's lamp solders the
extremity of a tube when the sub­
stance is of the right consistency. In
this way are obtained very regular lit­
tle spheres that serve for the composi­
tion of the ordinary quality of false
pearls.
In the more beautiful imitations the
tube employed is slightly opalescent,
and the glassblower, besides, gives to
the little spheres while they are yet
malleable certain slight perceptible in­
equalities of surface by gently tapping
them toith a small Iron bar. This gives
them a still greater resemblance to
natural pearls, which are very seldom
absolutely regular.—Exchange.
WEIGHT OF PLANETS.
It Is the Mass of the Body That Counts
With the Astronomer.
If a ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh­
ed there, the "pull"—the attractive
force of tbe moon upon the ham—
would amount to only live pounds.
There would be another weight of the
ham for the planet Mars and yet an­
other on tbe sun. A bam weighing
thirty pounds at New York ought to
weigh some 800 pounds on the sun's
surface hence the astronomer does not
speak of the weight of a planet, be­
cause that would depend upon the
place where it was weighed. But he
speaks of the mass of tbe planet,
which means bow much planet there is.
no matter where it might be weighed.
At the same time we might, without
any inexactness, agree that the weight
of a heavenly body should be .fixed by
the weight it would have in New
York. As we could not imagine a
planet In New York, because it may
be larger than tbe earth itself, what
we are to imagine is this: Suppose the
planet could be divided into a million
million million equal parts and one of
these parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find its
weight in pouuds or tons. Then mul­
tiply this by a million million million,
and we shall have a weight of tbe plan­
et. This would be equivalent to what
astronomers might take as the mass of
the planet.—Current Literature.
A Use For His Hat.
A funny Incident of a drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall bat, entered and, seeing no rack in
the hall, placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered, with a large, drip­
ping umbrella, and, peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle, saw In the
gloom tbe bat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor, for he
mistook it for one of the new umbrella
holders, and In it be deposited his drip­
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and In a short
time the solemn looking hat was
stanchly holding a dozen umbrellas.
At tbe end of the meeting the water in
the bat was an inch In depth.—London

A Thirsty Cat.
"Perhaps you think the old water in
the milk joke has been worked to
death, but I've found a new variation
of it," said a south side man recently.
"You know, I have a small negro girl
as a nurse for my children, and one of
her duties is to tell stories to the kids
just before bedtime. They always lis­
ten intently to wbat she says, and last
night I decided to listen too. This is
wbat I heard:
'An' de cat, she got thirsty, an' got
thirstier an* mo' thirsty, an' finally she
went to a pan ob milk slttln' in de
pantry to get a drink ob watah.'
"I told the story to our milkman this
morning, and he didn't laugh at all."—

Absentminded.
The Judge was at dinner tn the new

|ut I dare say they deserve it."

Does Your Girl Swim?
Weddtrly—Can the girl you are en­

her mouth shut.—Buffalo Commercial.

Clean skimming is the first ornfideratio in the purchase
of a cream separator. That is what you buy a separator to
Hccomplish. But here are two kinds of clean skimming*.
One is under iuoal or fnvorablie conditions—warm milk, from
fiesh cows, running thin oie*m. with reduced capocity. The
otber is under praclic 1 every-tfay farm use conditions—wifah
milk sometimes warm and sometimes cool, cows an they come,
4 rram as heavy as pos'ib'e instead of as thin, and caracity
large so that the woik is finished that nmcb more quickly.
Then) two kinds of clean skimming mark tb#» rst great
difference between the DE LAVAL and otber kinds of.crtaui
separators. There is a sma'l but material difference between
tbe DE LAVAL and the other kinds of machines under fav­
orable conditions. There is a BIG difference under the
practical every-dav u«e conditions—the difference between
thi "A LPHA-DT^C" svst°ni and other superior construc­
tional features rf the DE LAVAL machines and even the
best of oth^r separators.
Thi* is the ^'ffereuce which of itself saves the cost of a
DE LAVALJFarm machine in six months or a year, and in
cream«rv use several times a year, with a result that 98 p*r
*#»nt. of the world's creamery separation tcday is done with
DE LAVAL machine*. A DE LAVAL catalogue makes
plain th« REASONS for this difference and is to be had for
tbe asking.
