The Cost ot Catting no O1«T Aliks. In the state department at Washington is the most comprehensive and j complete set of atlases and maps to be found anywhere in this country. As can be readily appreciated, they are, vitally necessary to the carrying on of the department, and therefore neither trouble nor expense is spared in keeping them constantly up to date. It would be supposed that their extreme value and importance would be patent ! to every one. Some years ago, however, one of the most valuable atlases was found with two of the maps ent out. The maps had not been abstracted. They had simply been detached from the binding. Investigation proved the mutlla--1 tion to be the work of a certain clerk,

who on being hauled up by Ids superior explained why he had done it as folI lows: “Those books are terribly heavy and hard to handle, and so 1 cut the maps out in order to get at them easier. Tiie atlases were very old, and 1 didn't suppose they were of any value or that any one would care.” To the state department an atlas is I like a bottle of wine to a Judge of fine drinks—lts value increases In direct 1 ratio with its age. It was felt in the ' department that that particular clerk 1 had mistaken his calling in life, and to ’ him was accordingly given an opportu- ? I nity to pursue another one. —New York

1 Tribune. Core For Innomnla. I suppose all of us are suffering from I the invasion of electricity. My old j friend Bounce, who was a victim of Insomnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps . 1 now better than any other man on ’ ' earth. He lost his way In the Adiron- ■ | dacks and staid overnight in the cabin j of a forester. His sleep was the deep J sleep of a Just man made perfect, and 9 in the morning he found that he had I not moved halt an inch all night ” | “It’s the insulation,” the forester in-

Sisted. “You city folks are killin yourselves with contact. If you’ll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back.” This matter of “contact" was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in contact with the floors, the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth, so that whatever personal magnetism a man has In him goes away in the nighttime, leaving him like a log on his mattress. The forester had obtained four glass insu--1 lators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed them on the posts of his

1 guest bed. so that the electricity could not run away. Bounce the very day he I got home Insulated his bed. and from that moment to the present his insomnia has been banished. — New York / Hardest Ta«k ot the Day.
