The Philadelphia Tixnes quotes It as having been told by Rtpbcrt Barr, the celebrated novelist. 1A sultan was once asked by his fa vArlte, the grand vizier, for permission t*> leave at once for Smyrna, although y brilliant court fete was then In prog fress. Upon being asked his reason for such baste, the vizier replied: “Because I just saw the angel of death yonder In the crowd. He looked at me so earnestly that I know he has come for me. I wish to escape him.” “Go! Go at once!" said the sultan, who then beckoned to the angel and asked why the latter had looked so earnestly at the vizier. “I wns wondering," replied the angel of death, “why he wns here, for I have orders to kill him in Smyrna.” ■ EM ' Mrs. Rosa Adams, niece of the late General Roger Hanson, C.S.A., wants every woman to know of the wonders accom plished by Lydia E.

A certain clever teacher In a public school once congratulated herself on having given her geography class a vivid Idea of Islands by cutting out pieces of tirowrr paper and pinning them on the wall. “That’s all very well,” said the master of the school, speaking "from a longer experience of ttie.youth£ul mind, "but those children will go out Into life with a fixed Idea that an Island Is a piece of brown pa per pinned on the wall.” The New York Evening Poet says that two lit tle "fresh air" girls were noticed, on the morning after their arrival, gaz ing at the landscape with evident dlJ approval. “What’s the matter, children?” asked their hostess. “Why nre you disap pointed with the country?" “Why, there’s no grass here,” said one. pulling a blade and biting the end of It. The lady could only stare. “What Is your Idea of grass?" she asked, at last. Little by little the truth came out. To begin with, grass, they thought, was about the height of a man. a “If this were taller, would it be like grass?" asked the lady. ”Ol>. no!” “How Is it different?” “Why, grass Is black." snld one child. "Black and white,” added the other. Then the explanation became appar ent. They had drawn their Ideas of vegetation from the black and white prints of newspapers and boojts. Time to Act.

TfImMffIKPHONE ■ — SAVES MANY VALUABLE HOURS’ FOR THE AGRICULTURALIST. Developmen^of Independent Telephony Since Basie Patents Expired Has Meant Much in Kurai Districts- Half Million Instruments in Five Years. The spread of what is known ns in dependent telephony, which followed the running out of the fundamental telephone patents In this country, has made many, striking developments, but none more remarkable than those which have given every farmer In the land the chance to rig up a telephone, and thus put himself in direct touch with the outer -world. The üblyultous trolley, running out Into the rural re gions from the nearest urban centers, has done much to change the condi tions of rural and agricultural life; but over and above all the telephone is proving the Instrumentality of what Is, as a matter of fact, a new civiliza tion. Only those who have traveled of late through the rural parts of the great Middle States and of those In the Northwest can have the remotest idea of the manner In which, finding the telephone available and cheap, the farmer has seized upon It. with avidity, and connected himself up with some co-operative system in bls own neigh borhood, or. again, with bolder effort has pushed out and joined his own line wiui the network of some adjoining village. The co-operative principle has In this way' received n new ami strik ing exemplification, while the economic outcomes, even at this early stage, arc so wide reaching that It is hard to de termine just where the effects of this change will stop. In Touch with Market. It Is estimated that during the last five years telephones have been put Into nearly half a million rural homes. The farmer finds that with the tele phone he can keep in tom b with the market, selling the produce or live stock when quotations are tin- most favorable. By Sparing himself and his help use less trips back and forth for the pur pose of delivering his products, or of ascertaining the status of the market, he now saves a vast amount of time in the course of the year. When he is assured by Information over the tele phone that be can sell to advantage he loads up bls Wagon and not till then. As Illustrating the advantage of keeping In telephone touch with the market,an incident in last year's trans actions In broom corn in Illinois is re lated. A prospective rise In the mar ket was preceded by great activity on the part of the brokers. Buyers from the outside begun to clean up the broom corn nt SfiO a ton. when a telephone manager called up the farmers on his system and told them the market was rapidly rising. The result was that before the season ended they got a ; ; tofli for their crop. One farmer reMffsythijt in ad dlUotj to getting nearly 7 double the Usu al work out of his tennis, through their being saved .turtle trips to market, he has been enabled to do away "flltnstbe hire of two men. as lie e»uld Spend more time on his farm and save the diminished output of the hands at work in his absence. ~ , Another fanner saved all his build ings by being able to summon (Refe ' quickly from a nearby town, am! also । from his neighbors when n Are, broke । out. Still another, by gifting a physb I clan promptly, saved the life, fit his ' only son, when the deity of half an hour would have been fatal. It is now a common practice for the. country doctoq to give dlrecflbns by telephone for carlug' for the patient, both diagnosing and prescribing. In Illinois the speeches pf a rejjent jiolitl cal convention were Hiftmed" to by the farmers on a rural system as they sat in their homes from fifteen to thirty six miles away. Being in speaking dis tance of his neighbor, not only does tire farmer feel a new sense of person al security, but he knows that bls be longings are safer from molestation than they were before. The telephone has been Instrumental in causing the arrest of many horse thieves and out laws, and in some districts the farm ers have almost broken up chicken stealing and petty larceny by the tele phoning the police and commission merchants of their losses. and thus en abling prompt arrests to he made. Fun for XVotnen. The women and children come in for their share of the benefits of the tele phone. During the dreary winter nights they can gossip with tlielr neighbors, and they no longer Hrv to dread when the men are away The tramp Is chary of performing ills pro, fesslonal stunts where he finds p tele phone wire running Into the houpe, for he realizes that If necessary theiwholp neighborhood can be called In a few. minutes. That some Women have ingenious ideas of their own as to the pttfposept of the telephone is evident from the stories that crop up from time to tlipt’ of the experiences of tip; Inspectors. Ono of these officers rolatts that one of his linemen went into a bouse to Inspect the telephone on a rural line in Adnum Ltouutf, lll^ol^ Seated In u rocking chair, contentedly’ o< cupb’d with her knitting, was the wife of the BUlWcrlber to 11,.- sj stem. ta,„At first sight the fiugahm Abouglit, sue was wearing a novel kind of head dress.,.lmt ,ajee<i U d gbUp.T discovered tire faft fbng s|» ha^ t®%ffaecelver to her ear nftd wa« llsmtlilfc tn etii-r/ conversation that passed over the wire Another wonton wantiM to go on an errand some distance down the village street so she took the receiver oft ma hook Ard left it on the table near the" emdif, telling the central operator that If her baby began to cry she was to call her up at the grocer’».--Now York Sun. SMALLEST OF ALL FISHES. Ten Thousand of Them May life Eaten at a Meal by One Person. The smallest fish that is known to exist has been found In Luzon, being, therefore, the special property of Uncle Sum. In southern Luzon is a beautiful mountain lake called Lake Buhl, about 1,000 feet above the sea. It Is sup posed by the natives to have no bot tom. and la said to have been formed by a volcanic upheaval which occurred before the Spaniards came to the archipelago. On that tragic occasion, when many human Ilves were lost and much property destroyed, one side of Mount,lriga was blown out and bills of lava were scattered for miles. It so happened that, not long ago, Dr. George A. Zeller, U. S. A., found himself In the neighborhood of I-ake Buhl, and ascertained that there was in this body of water a queer kind of fish, only half an Inch long, which was used by the Filipinos for eating. Noth ing. it appears, is too small or Insignifi cant for the natives of those Islands to regard as available for the table. 8o Dr. Zeller obtained some hundreds of the little fishes and sent them in a bot tle to Surgeon-General Sternberg at Washington. Dr. Sternberg forwarded the bottle, with Its contents, to the United States fish commission, where It was consid ered a great firlze, Inasmuch as the fish wns declared to be not only the smallest In existence, but the most minute vertebrate known to science. It w ghs. as It would seem, only a grain, ami half an Inch Is its maximum length. The natives of Luzon call It the sin arapan and their mode of catching it Is with a net of exceeding fine mesh— hardly mote than a coarse cloth, which is used as a seine. In this manner great quantities of the tiny fishes are captured and, being dried in a mass In the sun. without any other cooking, are seasoned with pepper and other spices and pressed Into fiat round eakes. Inasmuch as u single cake of this kind contains from 2,000 to 3.000 fish es. the smallness of the latter will tie realized. It would be a native with a meager appetite who could not dis pose of lO.IMO of tlie finny creatures at a meal. Dr. 11. M. Smith, of the United States Fish Commission, has named the animal mlstichtbys, from two Greek words meaning "smallest” and “fish." The fish In question is a kind of goby and there Is a suspicion that It Is practically extlnet for several months In every year, like certain an nual plants. Meanwhile the eggs, which are so small that 1,200 of them placet! in line are required to measure one inch, are incubatlug for the pro duction of the next generation. When the little fishes have been newly eaught, says the Bystou Herald, by dipping a large sheet of close web under a school of them, they are put into tightly woven baskets to drain The natives buy them eagerly and the flshernien returning from the. mbrp lug's yoyhg®ire instantly surrounded, by a crowd of waiting children, who offer in exchange tor them potatoes rice and copper pennies. Five Tons at One Bite. A machine that can, figuratively speaking, devour fire tons of coal at a single ULte Is a device knowh as a "grab bucket.” it was but recently Invented.

Thia five-ton filter or grab bucket measures fifteen feet over all when Its jaws are wide open. A three-ton biter measures eleven feet.

Peruna docs not produce nrtitiuin! digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly Letter a^ml safer than resorting to artilieial methods or narcotics. Peruna has cured more cases of dys pepsia than all other remedies com bined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the. head. Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures Mt. as well in this location us in any other.
