ENGLAND’S PREMIERSHIP. A Coveted Office That Brings Misery to Its Incumbents. The lot of the British premier is like that of the policeman in the Gilbertinn b:Ulad—not a happy one. After Lord Derby had been prime minister ho said that he had had only two happy days in otliee. one being the day he entered it and the other the duy he retired from it Peel wrote: "It is Impossible for me not to feel that the duties are above ull human strength; at least, above mine." Peel also once made the curious statement that if his nose bad not bled every night during his premier ship he could not have borne the load of his position. Lord Palmerston was so much as fected by his work that he had a spe cial high desk built which necessitat ed a standing position. He explained that it be fell asleep while trying to keep np with his work the fall would awaken him. Disraeli frequently stated that no man could have nny notion of the nr duous life, and when Gladstone was released from the duties of prime mln ister he leaped bead over heels down a grass bank at Lord Evans' through sheer delight Lord Rosebery onee wrote the fol lowing concerning the duties of prlnu minister: “He has to deal with th, sovereign, with the cabinet, with par linment and with public opinion in it> various kinds and degrees. Some o' his colleagues he must convince, som, he may have to humor, some even t< cajole, it is a harassing, laborious nnu ungracious task."—New York Times. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS. Story of an Eccentric Man and a Curious Monument. There stands in a church In Amster dam an ancient nnd curious monument of white marble which always attract’ the attention of visitors, and their curl osity Is usually heightened by Its In scription On the monument are en graved two slippers of n singular shape with the inscription "Ellen Nyt.’ which In English would be "even noth Ing." or, more colloquially put, "noth ing else." The story that Is told ol this strange device is as follows: A certain rich man who was veri extravagant In his tastes became pos sessed of the idea that he had just s< many years to live and no more, ano he calculated that if he spent a stated portion of his principal every year hi, life and his property would expire to getter. He was lavishly generous to other, as well as Indulgent of his own whims nnd it so happened that he died th, very year he had prophesied would is his last. He bad furthermore brought his fortune to such a low ebb that aft er his few debts were paid nothing re tnaineCi of nil bis possessions asld, from the clothes in which be was t< be buried but a pair of curious old slippers. Some of his relatives to whom lx had baen kind during his life erecte, this strangely decorated monument t, mark bis burial place.—Washingtm Star.

Human Stride*. Many correspondents have been test ing the length of their stride, evei thora small l»oja who pace out th< length of a cricket pitch In assurauo tba:, twenty-two long step* make tweu ty-two yards. But u wulker from tin city avers be comes as near as mos: men to the yard to the step on a Ion; walk. He stands five feet eight ant one-ha if inches, has a swing from tin bl|» and has always between mile ■tones stepped from I.(KK> to l,”lt paces to the mile. That, of course, is r solitary walk. In a regiment the pact must be set by tbe average of th* longest and shortest stepper.—London Opinion. Empty Bag*. Andrew Carnegie once gave a clergy man a donation for his church and ui the same time another gift for a broth er clergyman who had fallen Into destl tutlon. "But 1 doubt if he will take thb money. Mr. Carnegie.” tbe clergyman said doubtfully "He Is very proud." “Ob. toe’ll take it.” anld tbe iroumas ter. “Poverty destroys pride. How can an empty bag itaud upright?" Mean Man.

HOMES OF THE NAVAJOS. Stuffy Winter Hogans and Light • iml Airy Summer “Cottages-’ The Navnjos tire the least gregnrfoui of native American tribes, never congregating in towns ami vilnges never forming permanent communities. Their homes, called hogans, art mere hovels, built of stones or the trunks and limbs of trees, with rounded roofs thickly covered with carta A smoko vent in the roof and a door way in the side are the only means o ventilation. In cold weather these caveliko structures are kept tight y closed, so that no one but an Indian could live in them nt all. But when springtime conies the Navajo squaw constructs a summer cottage, sometimes consisting of nc more than a windbreak of sagebrush around a circular clear space. Sometimes the summer hogan is a shady bower under a desert cedar tree, oh 1 leafy branches piled around ns a mens ure Os protection against winds and sandstorms. Sometimes It is a shelter formed by the utilization of old pieces of canvas, sheet iron nnd other cast awny material picked up around the refuse dum|>s of the railroad towns in any event, the dwellers in the summer hogans are practically In the open all the time. Fresh air Is never for a moment excluded.—Christian Ilenild.

NAILS IN STONE WALLS. Easy Method of Placing Them So They Will Remain Firm. Few women know how to drive a nail into a brick wall, and yet it is what they often need to do for themsei i os If there is no man about. The following method is easy nnd has been found entirely satisfactory: Having decided upon the exact spot Into which the nail Is desired to be drben. which must be in the plaster between the bricks, provide yourself with a hammer and screwdriver. With these tools commence working out the hard plaster by tapping the handle of the screwdriver. As the plaster turns to dust it must be blown or dusted out so that the size of the hole may be seen. When a space about one inch long and nearly one inch deep has been worked out get n small piece of wood about the same size and with the hammer wedge it tightly into the space. When it seems firm take the nail and drive it into the wood It will go In nicely, without liending, and remain firm an indefinite length of time. This same method was used at one time when it was decided to bung a hammock between the fence and the wall, with the exception that the hole was dug ent a little longer and deeper than for an or dinary rmll.—Minneapolis JMH/Sl. Homemade Barometer. Those who love experiment.-itkm may try the following method of m iking a eheap barometer practiced In France: j Take eight grams of pulverized cam phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate 1 of potassium, two grams of pulverized nitrate of ammonia and dissolve In sixty grams of alcohol. But the whole in a long, slender bottle closed at the top with a piece of bladder containing j a pinbole to admit the air. When rain is coming the solid particles will tenil I gradually to mount, little star crystals forming in the liquid, which otherwise 1 remains clear. If high winds are «p preaching the liquid will become thick - as if fermenting, while a film of solid particles forms on the surface. During I fair weather the liquid will remain, clear and the solid particles will rest at the bottom.

Reading Music. Tbe literary man. writes a corr* spondent, mny very well, when be I* lying on hl* back, console himself with literature. But what Is the setontlDr man. with no particular Interest In literature, to do? A certain professor of my acquaintance once got through a month of painful convalescence by tbe aid of another kind of rending He read through the senro* of ni* fa vorlte composers He hnd no st fur the rhythms of literature, but a fine enr for the rhythm* of music, and he as •ured me that he beard the musk- *< he read tbe score* He said that car ing that month be really came to un derstand Beethoven and that no per formance of bis work ever satlsbed him afterward.—London Spectator.

ARE YOU A LACK LAND’ You boys and girls who are working hard at school have seen this old phrase and known what it means. You remember King John of England was called “Lack, land.” A man or woman who had no money or property was called a "Lack-land," or a “Lack-penny." It was a term of reproach and was said of people who did not save anything but spent all they made. Now you boys and girls want to grow UP to have plenty of money. You don't want to be called Lackpennies.” The time to start making money it new. Father and mother we are sure will give you lots of chances to make money. There are a good many things yog can do for them and for yourself. Save every penny you get until it amounts to 81.00 Then take it to the First National Bank and thev will give you a bank book. Perhaps if you ask father or mother to give you a dollar to open a bank account in your name they will do so and then you can add to it from time to time. By the time you have grown up you will have a nice turn of money waiting you. The boys and girls who save money while they are young are the boys and girls who become rich and successful men and women when they grow up. The habits you now form will be the habits vou will stick to in later life. If you spend ail you get while you are young, you will not «av? money when you grow older.
