Crusoe Overlooked a Bet. That Robinson Crusoe, In spite of his well known resourcefulness, overlooked n fine business opportunity Is shown by the fact that the island of his adventures, Mas-a-Tlerra off the Juan Fernandez group off the coast of Chile, Is now the seat of a large loh-ster-ennnlng Industry. Crusoe seemed to think he was doing remarkably well to pick up the necessities of life on Hint island—and most of them were washed ashore from a wreck at that— hut Its modern Inhabitants do a rushing business in the export of luxuries.

Teach Children to Cove Books.
Happy are the children of this day ami age In that they have so many good books; la that if they cannot buy, they certainly can borrow from the public libraries. Here is one truth, a very simple truth, tluit all parents are under obligation to teach their children—that If they can learn to love hooks they can always forget the Irritations of men and things; they can lay aside cares and still their passions; they can put their worries and
disappointments to sleep.
Ancicm nee Industry. Some time back In the prehistoric era and probably antedating the time “hen mankind had tamed the wild hens ami organized them In the business of producing "strictly fn-sh laid eggs,” human kind had annexed the bee, or, anyhow, had made a business of robbing the wild bees. Bee farming is no new thing under the sun, but the bees were never before so carefully bred and cross-bred nor so intelligently assisted in the honey-mak lag game us at present.
Mot a Summer Resort. Very few Europeans are able to live In Hyderabad, India, during the summer, and the stalwarts who manage to endue the awful heat do not venture out of doors during the middle of the day at all. The white troops stationed there are not allowed out of barracks from nine o'clock in the morning till live o'clock, or later, in the evening, as the scorching sun and desert heat have claimed ninny victims from sunstroke and beat apoplexy.
Obituaries. All obituaries are chargeable at the rate of $1 for each obituary. Additional charge of 5c a line is made for all poetry.

Putting It Plainly.
A Judge, whose personal appearance was ns unprepossessing as Ids legal knowledge was profound, interrupted a female witness. “Humbugged you, my good woman I” said he. “What do you mean by that?" “Well, my lord.”

Early American Newspapers. The first newspaper published In America made its appearance in Boston on September 2. r ». 1690, and was called Publick Occurrences. It was intended ns a monthly, hat had only one Issue, as It was Immediately suppressed by the government for political reasoas. The Boston News-Letter was the first permanent newspaper In this country, amt usually receives credit for being the pioneer, as It was the first that survived. This Initial number appeared on April 20. 1704, and Its publication was continued for 72 years.
Doctors' Fees Regulated.
The fees of doctors were prescribed
The Profitable Nickel. Like the humble cent, the increased coinage of which was recently mentioned In this column, the nickel Is In greater demand than ever. That Is fortunate, for the face value of those "token coins" Is so much greater than the value of the metal they contain that the profit in manufacturing them, together with a slight profit in manufacturing the minor silver coins, more than meets the entire running expenses of the mint.—Youth's Companion.
Why Diamond Is Prized.
Of practical uses the diamond Is not quite destitute—i| is, for Instance, the

uchadrezzar. The code of Hammurapl. the great lawgiver, provided : “If a doctor has operated with a bronze lancet on a man for a severe wound, and has cured him, or has removed a cataract with a bronze lancet for a gentleman and cured the eye of the gentleman, he shall receive ten shekels of silver. If tile patient be the son of n freedman. the doctor shall receive the
shekels.”
tleal uses have almost or quite nothing to do with its popular esteem, that rests first on the poor claims established by cost and scarcity, and. second, on the survival in human beln~'s of the ancient and savage delight In hanging about and fastening to the body lilts of stone and metal that are
brightly colored or shiny.
About Roller Skates. Roller skates were patented and used in France as early as 1819. A few years later an Englishman named Syers patented them and nianufnctured them in London. Syors’ skate consisted of a sandal mounted on live narrow wheels la a single row, so arranged, however, that only two of them could touch the tloor at the same time. Several other similar skates were patent- . ed la England during the next -it) !
years.
Frank Commant. Robert whs a great admirer of soldiers and. having attended a military wedding, lie was load iu praise. Soon after he was taken to see another wedding where ail were in civilian clothes. At the wvddlng dinner he received a dish of lee crenm full of fruit, raisins, ete. He especially dis» liked raisins, so be said In loud tones, ”1 link this wedding and this ice cream is wotten—no soldiers or nothin'."
Fast Travel in Air. By merely modifying wing curvature, airplanes of today could be made to fly at a speed of 250 miles an hour, according to a British captain who is considered an neromilltical authority. The obstacle that this would present, however, would be a minimum landing speed of about 150 miles an hour. Greater speed In the air Is much to be desired, but no pilot Is particularly anxious to bring bis machine to earth at a rate such as that Indicated.
Torrent and Lakelat The stream of modern literature represented by the hooks and perlodlrnls on the crowded counters is a tm^ bulent and clamorous torrent, dashing along among the rocks of criticism, over the pebbles of the world's daily events; trying to make itself beard and seen amidst the hoarse cries of the politicians and the rumbling wheels of truffle. The classic Is a still lakelet, a mountain tarn, fed by springs that never fall, its surface never ruffled by storms--always smiting a welcome to its visitor.—Holmes.

Copper’s Great Value. Next after gold and silver, copper is to us tin* most interesting of all the Metals. Fresh and fret* of corrosion (as seen In n new-minted cent) It Is really more beautiful than gold, having n more colorful nnd brilliant luster. It Is incomparably more useful than gold, serving as It dees a vast number of employments for which there is no satisfactory substitute.

Costs Money to Use Chair.
There Is n “ptihtle house” In Dumfries where may be seen an old nrm’hnlr alleged to have been invariably irned by the poet Burns when be visit'd the place. All who sit In this chair are required to "treat" all who
may be In the room at the time.
Strange Plant. A little plant called the uloxn or fieseliatel is often found In Welsh hedgerows, and Is (writes a naturalist) the only species of Its genera in that country. The leaves have this peculiarity that whilst they emit a delightful musk-like odor, when bandied or crushed they become absolutely scentless.
Learn to Use Both Hands. Yen have noticed perhaps that lefthanded people seem to have an advantage over right-handed people In being able to use the right hand with greater ease than right-handed people con use their untrained hand. It Is n good thing to practice writing and drawing with the It il hand.
Mot Up to Expectations Jane has often envied her small playmate who has n baby brother nnd she frequently expressed a wish for a wee brother, too. When her wish came true she was happily excited until she had seen him. Auntie noticed her disappointment nnd asked Jane If sin* was proud of the new baby. Wistfully the child answered; “1 guess I is, but I tbiuk la* Is a size or so too small.”
News in the “Ads.” A well-written advertisement is always also a news item. It tells what, where nnd for how much. It is the advertiser who speaks nnd It Is the reader who gets the message. It Is glad news for both. There Is pleasure In knowing that yog can part with something to supply another's need, just as It is n pleasure to know where you can get something that Is much desired.—Columbus Dispatch.

To Remove Grease. Tlie following method, described In I’opiilar Science Monthly, has been substituted for the use of gasoline nnd oilier light oils: 1’oil the parts in cans, tlr soda lye; one pound to n gallon of ""ter; then brush while the articles are hot. Caustic soda is recommended at better than ordinary soda, since It rinses the fat or grease to dissolve more quickly.
Removing Old Putty. A great deal of scraping ran be saved, when putty Is to be removed, by brushing over It some nitric or hydrochloric acid and leaving It for an hour or two. A brush that Is of no further use should be employed, as the acid ruins it. The putty at the end of the time will he found softened to such an extent that little more than a w ipe is needed.
Taboo. V.’ben anything Is forbidden, or Its exclusion is ordered. king people sometimes say It is "taboo.” The word Is derived from' a custom cnee common in Polynesia and New Zealand, it signlflea something set 1 P'"'t or prohibited because of Its b»*Ine either sacred or accursed. The system originated In u superstitious dread of the invisible powers of evil.
For Outdoor Chesa Games. Chessmen, which range from two to three and one-ladf feet la height, made of aluminum, collapsible, and packed In a special trunk, have been i i-iven to the library of Hie University of Wisconsin. A Milwaukee njan, now dead, designed them for use in public ci ntests, on large indoor or outdoor rhess boards, with a view to Increasing popular Interest In the game.

American Newspaper History. Benjamin Franklin contributed much to the development of journalism in colonial days. An editor at the age of sixteen, and a prolific writer, he was Identified at some time or another in his life with many of the newspapers which flourished during this period. The oldest newspaper in the United Slates, which lias been continued w ithout interruption of Issue or change of name, is the New Hampshire Gazette. It was first published iu Portsmouth N. IL, In 1736.
Pilgrims’ Hours of Relaxation. Sober, rather than dour, the Pilgrims knew Hie rudiments of social relaxation.
