HARD LIFE OF BACHELOR tEAti
Has Nothing Lika So Qood a Tima
a* Human Counterpart.
"This skin,” said the furrier, "came
from a young seal bachelor, u youth
Ignorant of love and of life.”
“IIow do you know?” the lady asked.
“By its fineness. Its perfection," ho
replied “The pile, you will note, is
like closeout velvet. Only bachelor
sealskins have such a pile.
" 1’he bachelor seal," lie went on,
bus a rather sad life. The big bull
<eals in the seal islands huve each
a household of 15 or 20 wives, but
the young bachelors must herd by
themselves. Let one of them attempt
to marry, and straightway a bull slays
him. Not till lie is big enough to light
and conquer a bull—not till ho Is 14
or 15 years old—can he know’ the de
light of settling down In a home of his
own.
"He is not like the human bachelor,
the favorite of the chorus girls, the
reveler in ail sorts of club luxuries;
hut he leads a hard, ascetic, celibate
life, only In the end, us like as not, to
mak>* a lady a very tine coat. All the
very line coats, I repeat, are made
from the unhappy bachelor seals”
Why Snow Is White.
The reason that snow Is white ts that
all the 'elementary colors are blended
together in the radiance that is thrown
off from the surface of the crystals,
which may he examined iu such a way
as to detect these colors before they
ure mingled together to give the eye
the impression of whiteness.
The whiteness of the snow is also
in some degree referable to the quan
tity of air which Is left among the
troxen particles. Considerably’ mote
than a thousand distinct forms of
snow crystals have been enumerated.
These minute crystals and prisms re
flect all the compound rays of which
white light consists.—Chicago Trib
une.
Sartorial Wisdom.
A Manhattan magazine announces
upon the authority of the leading
writer on men's fashions that “double
breasted trousers” will he the vogue
next spring. The same authority is
•pioted as declaring that “it is now
considered good form to line the but
tonholes with silk straight to the
edge." This oracle has a competitor
who also periodically ventilates the
ludicrous combined with the Incon
gruous. In an article treating of the
approved period of mourning, the rival
of the "double-breasted trousers” dic
tator, prescribed weeds as follows:
"Husband for widow—nine months.”
Model of Economy.
A certain farmer, who is noted for
ids closeness in money matters, has
a 12-year-old son, who is as industrious
as his father Is penurious.
Recently the father and son made a
compare whereby the latter would re
ceive ten cents for every cord of wood
tie sawed and piled in the woodshed.
Immediately the boy became very
busy at the woodpile and his earn
ings have been piling up at a rapid
rate, his mother keeping her son's
bard earned savings for him.
“What are you going to do with all
your money?" the thrifty youth was
recently asked.
"(loin' to buy a now saw with it/*
was the reply.

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
On© of the Most Powerful Attractions
in a Woman.
Very few women realize what an
effect a sweet voice hurt on a tnan.
A woman may he very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch
iugly attired ami attractive in every
way, and yet directly she opens her
mouth and speaks the spell Is broken,
the charm is gone. And this need
never bo.
Wry few voices are so naturally
ba«l that they will not succumb to
training, and the voice can he trained
to he just as sweet and gentle as one
pleases to muke It.
A woman should speak in a low
voice. She should not allow her
voice to ruiso itseir to a high pitch.
A shrill-voiced woman Is terrible.
She should not shout her orders to
the servants down the stairs, nor call
to any one who may he In another
part of the house. This shouting and
raising of tho voice spoils the tone
and quality of the voice and tends to
make It harsh A pretty voice Is a
powerful attraction in a woman and
Hhe who would add to her charms a
wondrous fascination should cultivate
a voice “ever soft, gentle and low.”
MOTHER INSTINCT WAS STRONG.
Old Lady Ready to Aid Any One She
Thought Needed It.
A woman who looked as If she had
a commuter's ticket in her handbag
kept a 1 mg lino of customers waiting
in a New York bank one morning re
cently. She was writing something
and was in no hurry. She was not
one of the fashionable "no hips" crea
tures, hut was of such generous pro
portions that she could not be elr
cumnavigated. There was nothing to
do hut wait and wonder what her busi
ness was. The cashier himself was in
doubt, but waited politely to see.
“There, young man," she announced
triumphantly to the cashier arter put
ting her pencil in her mouth for the
fiftieth time, “there is a prescription
that has been in our family for 60
years. It will knock that cold of yours
endwise. Hustle right out and get it
filled and lie sure and soak your feet
in hot in us'ard water tonight. Don't
let your cold run cn."
I lie smiles that, went round were
kindly ones, it seemed so good to meet
a universal motliei ready to coddle
any human being II at she thought
needed her ministrations.
Doy Originated Safety Pin.
“The originator of the safety-pin,”
said an historian of inventions, “was
a little boy, an Kngllsh blacksmith's
son.
I he little boy —Harrison by name
—had to look after his baby brother.
The baby often tried, and Its tears
were usually to be traced to pin punc
tures. The boy nurse tried a long
time to bend pins Into such a form
that they could lie used with safety to
his brother's flesh.
“In this he failed; but his father,
the blacksmith, perceived the utility
of the Idea the lad had been at work
on. took it up on his own account, and
eventually turned out the safety-pin
that Is in use to-day all over the
world.”
Ignorance of South America.
One of our contemporaries referred
yesterday to "little Paraguay." That
republic is four fifths as large an Ger
many.
Many persons have erroneous no
tions as to geographical sizes and
lengths In Houth America. They have
not the slightest idea that Hrazll is
nearly as largo ns the whole of Hu
rope, that the distance between the
north and south ends of Chile Is as
great as that between the North Cape
of Europe and Gibraltar, and that
steamers ply almost straight north and
south on the Parana and its Paraguay
affluent for n distance about erjual to
that between New York and Omaha.—

Best He Could Do,
"Sir." said the irate parent as he un- !

ROANOKE JAIL
(Continued from page one)
the train and brought him to Roan
oke. Cauthorn seems to be utterly
unconcerned as to his fate and does
not seem to realize the enormity of
his crime.
Christiansburg. Va.t Jan. 27.—
Messrs. Harless and Calhoun have
been consulted by Mr. Joe Blanken
ship concerning the case of Frank
Cauthorn. The father, of cours*.
feels very bitter against Cauthorn,
but iio definite arrangements have
been .made. The brother of Cau
thorn lias taken some steps in the
matter of trying to get lawyers for
his side, but Cauthorn himself posi
tively declares that he will not have
a lawyer; that, he does not care to
have anything said on his side.
Th • trial wit! come up between
the 5th and 10th of February. The1
man will probably be indicted on the
•'ith, when court convenes here. Sev
eral of the lawyers here state that
they have never heard any murderer
talk, who seemed so utterly devoid
or conscience, and that this very
fact makes them believe that the
man Is not mentally sound.
Idist night there was quite a stir
h re, when It had gotten abroad that
u number of the men at the station
had asserted that a man who had
given himself up and confessed
would not he hung. About forty
men got together and declared they
w re going to lynch Cauthorn. There
seemed to be no .eader, however,
and Providence Intervened, for a
very severe and prolonged tbounder
storm came up. the electric lights
went out and the night was as dark
as pitch. The rain poured in tor
rents. anger cooled and the prisoner
was left, undisturbed.
