The Man of Luck.
A king once said to his minister, “do
you believe in luck?’ ’
‘ ‘I do, ’ ’ said the minister.
“Can you prove it?” said the king.
“Yes, I can.”
So one night he tied up to the ceiling
of a room a bag containing peas mixed
with diamonds, and let in tw’o men, one
of whom believed in luck, and the other
in human effort alone. The one who be-
lieved in luck quietly laid himself down
on the ground; the other after a time
found the bag, and, feeling in the dark
the peas and stones, ate the peas and
threw the diamonds to his companion,
saying, “There are the stones for your
idleness. ’ ’
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the king and the min-
ister came and told each man to keep
what he had found. The man who be-
lieved in trying, got the peas which he
had eaten, the other got the diamonds.
The minister then said, “Sire, there
may be luck, but it is as rare as peas
mixed with diamonds; so let none hope
to live by luck.”—Chatterbox.
Measuring the Power of Light.
The measuring of the candle power of
a light is accomplished by comparing the
shadow cast by a rod in the light of. a
standard candle with the shadow cast by
the light to be tested. By moving the
latter toward or away from th© rod a
point will be reached at which the shadow
cast by both lights will be of the same in-
tensity. The intensity of the two lights
is directly proportional to the squares of
their distances from the shadows; i. e.,
suppose the light to be tested is three
times the distance of the candle, its il-
luminating power is nine times as great.—
American Grocer.

Used Instead of Whalebone.
“Featherbone,” an article prepared
from the quills of geese and turkeys, is
largely taking the place of whalebone in
the manufacture of whips, etc., for
which whalebone was formerly used ex-
clusivelv.
Patti’s Collection of Autographs.
Among- others who share the weakness
of collecting autographs is Adelina Patti.
For many years past no friend of any dis-
tinction has been permitted to pass the
threshold of the prima donna until he or
she has written a few words either upon
Mme. Patti herself or upon some other
subject of interest. The consequence is
that the signatures of almost every nota-
bility, both in and outside the musical
world, are to be found in her albums.—

A Difference in Peanuts.
There is a vast difference in peanuts.
Some large nuts look very fine, but are
really tasteless. No matter how well
roasted and prepared they may be they
still lack the features of a good nut. A
good roaster, like.a good cook, must be
born with certain qualifications that can-
not be reached by trying to educate him
to it. Some dealers roast the nut too lit-
tle and others too much. Roast them
too much and the oil is taken from them,
and if the oil ia not properly brought out
the nut has a disagraeabl© tast®. Some
people tike peanuts hot, but then they
are very bad for the teeth. Dyspeptics
should eat vary few. I find from my
own experience that it would be better
if they did not eat any. The average
peanut eater eats one every minute,
which is entirely too fast.—Peanut Ven-
der in Globe-Democrat.

passenger agent of the Missouri-Pacific,

Catarrh
Is frequently an indication of a Scrofulous
taint in the system. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
purifies the blood, and thus restores health
to the affected membranes. It also stops
the nauseous catarrhal discharges, and
prevents the infection from reaching the
lungs and stomach. Catarrh should be
treated as a blood disease.
I suffered for years from chronic
Catarrh. My appetite was very poor, and
I felt miserably. None of the remedies I
took afforded hie any relief until I com-
menced using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, of
which I have now taken five bottles.
■The catarrh has disappeared, and I am
growing strong and stout; my appetite
has returned, and my health is fully re-
stored.—Susan L. AV. Cook, 909 Albany st,,

One of the World’s Mean Men.
There are some very mean men in this
world. That everybody knows. But
perhaps the meanest of them all is an in-
dividual who has been operating in real
estate and building. His favorite method
is to buy a lot in a block where the fronts
of adjoining houses are eight or ten feet
or more from the sidewalk. He starts
his house with the front wall flush with
the sidewalk. Of course his neighbors
remonstrate. Naturally they do not
want their light and view cut off. But
he doesn’t see how he can alter his plans.
He has been to much expense, and to
change things now would cause him no
end of loss. If, however, the property
owners directly interested will consent to
help him out of the difficulty to the ex-
tent of $200 to $300 apiece he will have
the front wall set back in line with his
neighbors’ houses. Otherwise he will be
compelled to go ahead. This mean little
game, ’tis said, has been repeatedly and
profitably played by the same man.—

Taking- His Precautions.
Louis XIV was one day conversing
about the authority which kings have
over their subjects. Count de Guiche
ventured to remark that this power had
its limits, but the king, who would not
hear of it, passionately replied: “If I
commanded you to throw yourself into
the sea you ought, without hesitation, to
jump in head foremost.” The count
said not a word, but turned on his heels
and walked toward the door. The king
asked him, in surprise, where he was
going. “To learn to swim,” was the
reply. Louis XIV burst into a laugh,
and there the mattei- ended.—Caron.
—Hire Sargent’s grey .mule teams.
For the freshest and best of Mutton, Veal and
tenderest Beef, send your orders to A. ROEMER,
between avenues K and L, on 10th street. Meat
promptly delivered in any part of the city at any
hour during the day.
Home Life in the Country.
Too many of our farmers’ homes are
merely so in name. They are not homes
—only places to stay. Do not think wo
are insinuating that you must rush right
off and spend $1,000 in buying new furni-
ture, carpets and an organ. Not at all.
One of the “homeyest” places we ever
saw was one that was entirely innocent
of .any extravagance in that line. Three
hundred dollars would have covered the
cost of all the furniture in the house; but
it was a place we always enjoyed visit-
ing. The head of the family was always
jolly and ready to take a hand in a game,
and his nine children, always hearty and
full of fun, and did not care to be out in
the evenings.
The girls did sewing and knitting as
they grew old enough, and the boys were
often found “making something”; but
no evening passed that some one did not
have something to read to the others—
an anecdote or a story—something either
to amuse or instruct. But the main
secret of their happiness, if it was a-secret,
lay in the fact that worrying and fretting
were banished. One growler or fretter
will spoil a whole family. Fathers,
mothers, don’t allow a fault finding spirit
to spoil the pleasure of your family circle.
Don’t indulge in it yourselves. Have
as cozy and comfortable a home as you
can afford, but don’t mourn over what
you have not. Rather rejoice in what
you have and be thankful.—National
Stockman.
