Finally Ascended Mountain. After years of effort to reach Its summit, which lies 6,500 feet above sea level, Mount Hothnam, Australia, has at last been conquered by motorists. The other day two motorists climbed up to Its highest summit through gum tree forests, and over vast wastes of iern and sand. Fully 100 cars have attempted to climb this mountain but failed. The grades are so sharp that it is difficult in a Iting pull to lubricate the front cylinders of motors. Honey in Woman’s Hat. An abandoned peach basket hat was left at a farmhouse at Kingston, N. Y., by a summer boarder a year ago, which the farmer’s children mounted on a fence post and quite forgot. When they came upon it in the course of their romps the other day they tried to take it down. A swarm of wild bees was found in it, and the farmer has 12 pounds of honey to sell. Almost any humorist can find material in this. Easily Ahead. An Irishman who was fond of the liquor came home one night all in, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says. Four or five of his friends carried him out to a graveyard, dug a hole and put him down there to sleep off his jag. When he woke In the morning he climbed out of the holo and looked all around the cemetery. “By gorra,” he said, ’T’m the first one up, anyway.” Wonderful Memory. “There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control.”—Jane Austen.

Leaving a f’lano Open. It is best to close the piano as soon as you have finished playing, both on account of the dust and the variations of the atmosphere. The keyboard should be kept scrupulously clean. Alcohol or diluted ammonia may be used for this purpose with advantage. Protection of Records. In every city of magnitude there are all kinds of valuable records exposed to destruction by fire. The most practical people in the world are strangely remiss in this matter of protection of records that cannot be duplicated or replaced when once lost. —Buffalo News. Tert for Water. To test drinking water, put one teaspoonful of granulated sugar In a pint of the water you want to test. Cork tightly, place on the kitchen mantel shelf. If pure the water will remain clear, if not it will cloud densely, and ought to be analyzed. Test of Eligibility. Man’s right to vote does not rest on respectability or intelligence, but on the very fact that he has been wearing a pair of pants for tweaty-one years, and, in all probability, eating or burning up a ton of cheap tobacco. An Indication. “Is Bliggins the superior influence in his own house?"’ “I’m afraid not. He’s one of those men who understand exactly what their wives are talking about when they describe what other women wear.” No Time Wasted. "By the time an industrious fly gets through setting up the seegars in hon or of his first bom,” notes the Topeka Capital, “more than 900 little flies are calling him "grandpa.” Mean Slap at Scribbler. Wigg—“Scribbler is always talking about how he wooes the muse.” Wagg —"Well, she has pretty good grounds on which to sue him for breach Os promise.” —Philadelphia Record. Agents’ Easy Task. Some people are : o easy, a Republic County (Kan.) editor says, that a smart agent could sell them a contagious disease. Fried Onions or Racon. As for the report ' at Bacon killed Shakespeare, a Newton student, points out that it is already established that fried onions kill; <’ Napoli on. Intricate Machine. A machine which sews up the open end or side of a filled bag and knots the thread is the work of a German Inventor.—Baltimore Sun. Coming Celebration. A little girl in Sabetha, Kan., is to be baptized next Sunday, and she is proudly telling her friends that she is to be “advertised.” If Our Merits Are Known. Praise from a friend, or censure from a foe, are lost on hearers that our merits know. —Pope. It May Be Your Whole Vacation. Before deciding, send for handsomely Illustrated booklet.—New York Sim.

Counted Ants for Two Years. A marvel of scientific research, says our Berlin correspondent, has been accomplished by Professor Young, who has been investigating the interior condition of anthills. By dint of patient observation Professor Yemg discovered that an anthill two feet in height was inhabited by 93,780 ants. Other anthills of almost the same size were found to contain 67,500, 53,000 and 48,000 ants respective- ; ly. Those observations and the count- : tng of the tiny insects occupied two years.—London Evening Standard. Relics of Past Ages. An interesting discovery was made recently at Spittai (Eng.) by a number of workmen. W r hile digging operations were being carried on, a quantity of human bones were turned up. I This was followed by the unearthing of a number of stone coffins, each 1 containing human remains. The coffins bore no resemblance to the massive sarcophagus recently disinterred at Berwick, but consisted simply of rough stone slqbs. Why She Chose the Gown. A woman in Cherryvale, Kan., was allowed her choice between a new parlor rug and a summer gown. The Journal says that after three sleepless nights she decided on the dress. She argued: "I can darken the parlor and the rug will look all right in sub, dued light, and besides, hundreds of folks w-ill see the dress who would never see the rug.” Forgiveness of Children. It is the sweet and entire forgiveness of children, who ask pity fw their sorrows from those who have caused them, who do not perceive that they are wronged, who never dream that they are forgiving, and who make no bargain for apologies—it is this that men and women are urged to learn of a child. —Alice Meynell. Wanted a Witness. Neighbor (whose bell is rung late) —“What do you want?” Clubman—“Sorry to trouble you, Frau Schmidt, but I must go back to the club, as my wife won’t let me in, and I wanted to be able to call you as a witness that I was here at ten o’clock. —Fliegende Blatter. Foreign Health Resorts. According to the latest statistics about $40,045,000 is expended each year by visitors from foreign coun tries who take the "cure” at the nat ural mineral spring resorts in western Bohemia, along the Erzgebirge (Ore mountains). An Address, He Thought. “Ere *e brings ’ome a ’ole boxful of crockery for the missus, an’ writes out a label marked ‘China’ an’ puts it on the box for safety, an’ bust me jibboom if a bloomin’ porter ain’t gone and sent, it off there!” —The Tattler. Evanescence of 111-Gotten Wealth. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapor driven to and fro bj them that seek death. The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, because they refuse to do justice.— Proverbs of Solomon, 21:6-7. Biting. According to the Vinland Vine there is a fortune in store for the man who will successfully cross the black bass with the mosquito, retaining the size of the former and the biting qualities of the other. His Idea of Economy. His Wife—“ But don’t you think joining the golf club is rather an ex- | travagance?” "Not if we economize 'in other ways. I thought we might give up our pew in church.” —Life. Action of Drainage Waters. Recent experiments in Germany indicate that drainage waters do not take any more plant food away from fertilized soirs than from unfertilized. Most Easily Discovered. There are few things reason can I discover with so much certainty and ease as its own insufficiency.—Collier. Fashion Note.

Women are now engaged in all but two of the 303 gainful occupations of the men of this country. Monuments of Virtue.
