SCRAPS Fortunate Is the man who Is able to bear misfortune. An Idle rumor only awaits the chance to get busy. Lots of women worry themselves old trying to look young. A man who loses his temper always manages to find It again. Woman's Inhumanity to man inake.s the divorce lawyer happy. Some men, like mules, do little bend work and are always kicking. An average man Is one who thinks he Is away above the average. The wings of riches enable some men to fly from their poor Relatives. Yes, Hazel, actions speak louder than words. True love holds hands In silence. A man no sooner begins to get up In the world than some woman calls him down. When It comes to getting money the lawyer takes fewer chances than the burglar. A man feels like kicking himself when a homely woman attempts to flirt w-ith him. The olive branch is the emblem of peace and the orange blossom Is the emblem of war. There’s plenty of room at the top, because everybody wants to get In on the ground floor. We haven't much use for a miser, hut it Is better to freeze onto your money than to burn It. A fool and his money are soon parted, hut It’s different with a lazy boy and his warm bed. Lore Is blind. That’s why a man In love is unable to distinguish between an angel and a goose. I.ovemnklng of the kind usually found In romantic novels makes the real thing look like 30 cents. Any man who thinks that he can keep house better than his wife Is foolish if he ever mentions It. A spinster may Imagine that marriages are arranged in heaven, but a married woman knows better. Probably there is nothing quite so unsatisfactory as the good judgment a man might have used hut didn’t. In order to get into society you must have plenty of money and he unable to remember how you got it. Tlie one proof of man’s superiority over woman Is the fuel that he never wears clothes buttoned down the hack.

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming. For more than half a century the men of Wyoming have insisted that women deserved the same rights as men. It is now 51 years since the voters of Wyoming, then a territory, first stunned the rest of the world by conferring full suffrage upon women wit limit a preliminary battle on the part of the women themselves, considering It simple fairness. When the men were taken to task they replied that their women folks had endured the same hardships as themselves and demonstrated equal ability as pioneers. When statehood was 'applied for in 1890 feeling was so intense against admitting the territory that congress found itself in an uproar, and the Wyoming legislature was notified that statehood could hardly be possible unless the suffrage clause was eliminated. The legislature replied. “We will remain out of the Union 100 years rather than come In without woman suffrage."—Philadelphia Ledger. Looked Bad. | The Browne family possessed a whole sheaf of umbrellas, hut they were all sadly In need of repair. One morning on his way to the office, Browne took (hem along to be mended. At lunch time he Went into a restaurant and on leaving absent-mind edly walked off with a lady's umbrella He apologized profusely and returned It. In the evening he called for the um brellus again. He hoarded a car and found himself sitting opposite the lady of the lunchtime episode. She leaned over and whispered dramatically: "I aay, you're had a good day. haven't you?"

Na Wander Mona Smiled. If Whistler’s conceit was a pos« he assumed it quite early In his career. We are told that us an art student he nsed to copy famous paintings at the l»uvre, and on one occasion a brother artist came upon him ns he was finish Ing a copy of "Mona Lisa." "You’ve done a fine thing there," said the other. “Yas, I'm quite pleased with It,’ agreed Whistler, and then In his quiz zlcal way he added. "I wonder what they’ll do with the poor old original now?"—Boston Transcript. Air ffropallar* an Cara. Before long we are likely to s«« many motorcars driven by air propellers like those of airplanes. Experiments are helitg made with such alrdrlven cars In Europe, and they are said to have worked ont very satisfactorily. The power utlllzahle In this way for a vehicle on land is so great that It has been found practicable to run freight cars on railroads at high speed with an air propeller In front and another behind.—Kansas City Star.

PAPER CLOTHES IN JAPAN

Much Might Be Saved by Adopting Kimono as Everyday Dress. The Japanese have had paper clothes for many years and some of (he most Tatlraclive kimonos in the Far East are tailored of wood pu'p. An expert rm Japan Insists that the layman will find it hard to distinguish these kimonos from the expensive silk wrappers. “Everybody in Japan wears kimonos,” he remarked, according to the New York Evening Post, “and the paper garments are very popular and inexpensive. For about $1.50 you can buy a kimono that looks like a $50 outfit—and feels like it, too. The paper is soft and pliable and It can he draped gracefully about the figure, if Americans, men. women and children alike, could he converted to the kimono us everyday dress, paper clothing might become the only wear."

Colorado Beet Sugar Company Plana to Provide Houses for Mexicans Next Season. At least one hig sugar company in Colorado is already planning a nucleus of Mexican beet workers for next spring. It has just ordered the construction of 25 small frame buildings in the outskirts of Montrose for the Mexicans to occupy this winter, so that they will not drift to other districts and force the sugar company to bring In Inexperienced beet workers again next spring.

Many of these have become valuable beet workers and the company Intends to do all it can to keep them in this locality.

Pray for Tenant. Prayers for the “softening of an extortionate landlord's heart" were offered np tin* other day at the Episcopal healing mission at Christ Church cathedral. Tlie request for the prayers came front a woman, and it was reatl aloud to about 300 persons who had gathered for tlie healing, which was tinder the direction of Rev. Rufus D. S. Pitney. At the conclusion of the reading of the letter, time was allowed for silent prayer for the woman with a nard-hearted landlord. In the letter the woman said her rent had been advanced and she was about to he evicted because she could not afford to pay the advance. "Pray that my landlord's heart may he softtried." she wrote.—St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Rubbing It In. Sternly the prosecuting counsel cross examined the witness for the defense. At last the latter got so confused that Instead of replying audibly to one question he nodded his head. Whereupon the counsel demanded atently: "Why don't you answer the question?" "1 did answer It.” the wltne<ei replied. "I nodded my head." “Yes." wits the retort. “I heard It rattle, but could not tell whether It was up or down or from side to side."

Concerning Vacations. It has been demonstrated In the experience of every successful business man, that a short relaxation from work, both mental and pbysi:al. Is of vast benefit, not only to the employ; but also to the employer. The chief contention of those, who are opposed to granting vacations to their employees, Is that the suggestion of such a thing Is preposterous. But there Is not a successful business man who has not observed that the granting of vacations has beef me almost universal in this country; and who does not know that what Is preposterous never could have been adopted, as a system which has m.Jntalned Itself and become well establlshedd. There may be wisdom, however, In questioning the actual physical value of two weeks' vacation In a year, and to say that It Is absurd to suppose that a man In two weeks, can recuperate from the wear and tear of a year’s work. There may be wisdom, also, in the declaration that men make inroads upon their vitality and purses, during vacation, which cannot be repaired in the following eleven months and two weeks. However, most men, who are competent and valued, are not -.> foolish as to squander their substance and to undermine their health, by an injudicious manner of spend.ng their holiday. If they need rest, they will manage to obtain It; but. as a rule, they do not need rest so nmih as a change of occupation, and If their vacation be wisely employed, the memory of their pleasure cheers them In their work, throughout the remainder of the year. It would be difficult to estimate any loss to the man, who accepts the offer of a vacation; and the only question Is whether the employer is a loser by his acceptnr.ee. The universality of the vacation system Is a very good proof that there is not any loss; if here were any, employers would not continue a custom to their disadvantage, and the fact that vacations are granted is an evidence that the employers reckon upon a gain. The eleven months and two weeks work is of better quality than the twelvemonths’ work; and in the Improved quality of the work tha employers realize their profit.

Variety the Spice of Meals. “A man shouldn't always eat the same food; he should vary his meals,” said the man making conversation. “That's right,” answered the seedy looking chap. "Then you vary your meals, I tnke It?” "Sure thing. Some days I get two meals, some days only one. and some days I get none."—Yonkers State*mun.

I’otatiw's Grown In a Hurry. A potato wizard who has found a method for making the “spuds" grow In a hurry, has turned up In Connecticut. William H. Sheldon, is hla name, and he has a farm on tha Housatonlc River. For several Beacons he ci rated a sensation by getting his first crop of new potatoes Into the market two or three weeks earlier than bis neighbors. How he accomplished this was a deep mystery tc everybody. Everyone tried to solve it and failed, and now Sheldon has relieved their anxiety by removing the veil around his operations. During the last week in Februrary, or the first wee« In March he takes about twenty bushels of his best potatoes from the cellar, and In a warm room, which he retains for this purpose, places them Rose together on the floor, stem end down. The heat and light soon atari the growth of the sprouts. In his kitchen, near the stove, he has constructed a rack which contains several board truys, each tray being four long and fourteen Inches wide. ThJa he styles his "Incubator.” On these trays the potatoes are laid In the tame manner as they are arranged In the room. In about two weeks the leaves start and the potatoes are taken out Into the field and set out in the same manner aa celery or tobacco plants. Here la where the back-breaking part of the process comet In. for It Is no easy matter to eet by hand an acre of potatoes. The grouna Is prop&red In the tame manner as for ordlnsry potato planting, rerttllaer Is placed tn tha furrow* and through these furro.s a h*avy chain la drawn to thoroughly pulverise the earth and to mix earth aii£ fertilizer. The row* are three feet apart and the potatoes are fifteen Inches apart In the rows. They are entirely covered with earth and In two or three days will break through the soil. This process, although requiring a good deal of time and attention, Is made profitable, according to Mr. Sheldon, by the Increased price for which the potatoes can be aold. %
