THE LAWYER'S ADVICE ■ While returning to his home in Grand Rapids recently, Stewart Edward White, the author, fell into conversation with an elderly man in the smoking room of the parlor car. The man, as he afterward found out, is one of the most prominent lawyers in Ohio. The talk turned on the timber interests of the North, and several other men took part. Mr. White has lived half his life in lumber camps, and showed a familiarity with the subject that greatly interested the Ohio lawyer, who smwAjtT bdwaxd whitb presently turned to him Author of “The Blared Trail.” and “Young man, do you know of a book called ‘The Blazed Trail?* M “Yes, I know of it,” said White; “in fact ” “If you haven't read that story,” broke in the man, •“you ought to get out at the next station and get it. I’ve recommended it to every man of my acquaintance, particularly.the young men. But you particularly ought to read it, for you're interested in lumber—l suppose you are in the business —and, as a picture of forest and lumber camp life, it’s wonderful. I tell you, young man ” “Excuse me,” interrupted White, in some confusion; "“but the fact is I wrote ‘The Blazed Trail! ’ ” x The older man looked at him hard, and then his eyes twinkled. “I’ll send you a bill later for the work I have done in booming it,” he said. THE BLAZED TRAIL s BY STEWABT EDWARD WHITE WILL BE OUR NEXT SERIAL STORY You can avail yourself of legal advice without paying for it.

A Strange Pirate Story.

In the imweum at Kingston, Jamal*' ca, there are* some tattered ships’ papers, brown with ago and salt water, and a small tin canister. These articles attest the truth of the strangest pirate story ever told. lu ITUIt the crew of the Nancy brig were apparently honest traders, but did some piracy now and then on the side. One day they found it necessary to go. into Kingston for supplies. Before doing so they naturally removed all traces of their buccaneering trade. Among other things they threw overboard this (in canister stuffed with papers; taken from ships they had sunk, with comments written on the margin *by the pirate captain. Later in the day a British frigate was becalmed near the spot, and the sailors spent their leisure catching sharks. Presently they hauled up a big fellow, cut ibm open and found the tin case With the papers Inside. These were . taken to the captain, who as soon us u breeze sprung up sailed into Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig there and ; had the crew tried, convicted and 1 banged in chains at Port Koyal.

Lacemaking.

The birth of laeemakiug dates back -to the days of Greek maidens who watched the spider make its web and copied the pattern with fine threads of flax. The art has developed to the point of producing brussels point, which is ho delicate in texture that the drynesa of the air makes the threads brittle;, therefore the makers of the finest kinds have to work in damp cellars, using magnifying glasses. On the altar cloths and vestments of the church will be seen the most beautiful of the old rose point as it was made by the nuns in their convent cells and dedicated to the use of the church. Every one is familiar with the paiuting of “Queen Boss, the Dress Lover,” which ahows her with high ruffles embrold- - ered with seed pearls. The portraits of *■ Queen Charlotte display this keenest of lace lovers in hoops of balloon-like flounces of her priceless lace. Queen Victoria preferred to lay away in lavender boxes the piles of inherited laces.

A Carious Wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes of west Africa when a young couple get married it is the custom for the oldest member of the bride’s family to present the bride with a plot of ground six feet long. This is for the grave of her family and herself when they die. The first member of the new family Wbo dies is buried about twenty feet below ground and the next one almost - sixteen feet, and this goes on until all the family die and are buried. The grave holds them all, and this, they 'think, prevents them from being separated. This grewaome wedding present Is the one most valued by the bride, the faverite native saying being, “When all other things are gone this remains.**

Quaint Holland Customs.

They have quaint customs In Hoii land. One ot these la placing the laundry at the top of the boose. The .clothes sure sent sway to be washed and bleached, and when they are returned they are drawn np to the laundry by means of a pulley and dangle

for a lime right in the drawing room windows, to the Infinite delectation of the guests. But, as an offset to this peculiarity, the bathroom—when there Is a bathroom, which is not often—ls placed iu the cellur. It is the dry cellar, where potatoes and such things are stored, and the tub is an immense Iron tiling, with a cover that Is divided into halves.

The Largest Domes.

Some of the largest domes In the world are the Pantheon at Rome, 142 feet diameter, 143 high; bajths of Caracalla, Rome, 112 feet diameter, 11G feet high; St. Sophia, Constantinople, 115 feet diameter. 201 feet high; St. Marla delle l-’ure, Florence. 130 feet diameter. 310 feet high; St. Peter’s. Rome, 130 feet diameter, 330 foot high; St. Paul’s. London, 112 feet diameter, 215 feet high.

The Price of Experience.

"What did you buy with that money your uncle left you?” “I bought experience.” was the rue ful reply. “Spend it all for that?” “My dear sir, 1 never was much oq barguin day affairs, and the ordinary price of experience is all that you've got.”—Chicago Post.

Her Modest Wish.

“Sometimes,” said the poet. “I almost get to thinking 1 would rather have been born rich than a genius.” “Oh, dear,” his wife replied, “I don’t go to such extravagant extremes. If you'd only been born with a longing to go out and get a job somewhere I’d be satisfied.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

Inquisitive.

“I'd like to know”— began the little boy. “Well, what would you like to know?” asked his mother. “I’d like to know why sweetbreads haven’t any bread in ’em aud sweetmeats haven’t any meat-in ’em.”—Baltimore American.

Monamenta of Woe. “Did you notice Mr. Jones’ new teeth?” asked Mrs. Sharpeye. “I never saw anything so ghastly. They look like gravestones.” “Yes,” said Miss Sinuie Cal, “I presume he had them placed in memory of his lost ones.”—New York Press. An Essential. Would Be Writer—What do you consider the most important qualification for a beginner in literature? Old Hand—A small appetite. A queer Police Force. The policemen in Haiti are paid by results. They get capitation fees for all the arrests they make. As they come from the wont claw of the population and are under no discipline, It follows that a man ia very liable to be arrested in Haiti unless he Is willing to pay the policeman more than the capitation fee. As this fee ia only 15 cents, the price of freedom ia not prohibitive. If • man objects to paying the fee and says he would rather go before the Judge the policeman * soon convinces him of the unpleasantness of arrest with a thick dub. . _ Fatal kidney and bladder troubles can always be prevented by the use of Foley’s Kidney Cure.

The Food Value of Nuts.

Nuts are not only the cheapest source of ebergy; they are the peat They are made up of fat and what (a called "protein." The little huaka on the nuts are not nourishing, but they should be eaten with the nuts because they help in digestion. But nuts are so hearty a food that they should never be eaten except as the chief dish at a meal; they should not be taken at the end of a heavy meal nor between meals. It is quite as foolish to eat nuts after a meal as it would be to eat a beefsteak after a three course dinner. Nuts can be made into soups, can be used in sandwiches, salads and in other combinations both attractive and wholesome. They should be eaten with salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit. A whole wheat pudding with chopped nuts in it makes a meal by itself. Nuts will keep you warm, give energy, and, if you do not work too hard, they will increase your flesh, but do not eat nuts .to any amount unless you give up meat, for they are a substitute, not a food accessory.

A Troublesome Ant.

In the state of Colombia there is a large ant (Atta cephalotep) which causes a great deal of injury to plantations. It attacks and carries off indiscriminately all kinds of foliage, and no sort of vegetation seems to come amiss to it. The quantity of foliage carried off by these ants is immense. A naturalist recently Investigated the uses to which the ants put this mass of vegetable matter, and he ascertained that they employ it to make hotbeds upon which their eggs are deposited to be hatched by the heat produced by the fermentation of the leaves. The ants do not eat these portions for food, and the larvae are fed upon a carefully selected diet. Once the brood is hatched the ants clear away the hotbed, carrying out of their nest all the decomposed vegetable matter. This is thrown out in heaps apart, and in the large ant hills these heaps will contain bushels and upward.

The First English Slave Trader.

Sir John Hawkins was the first English slave trader. He formed a company composed of the leading men of London and fitted out three small ships, which sailed In 1562. Later Queen Elizabeth lent Hawkins Jesus, a large ship of her own of 700 tons, and took shares In the second African company. She not only equipped the ship, but put 100 soldiers on board to provide for contingencies. On the second voyage Hawkins bought 400 negroes and had a narrow escape from losing them owing to the lack of water when he was near the equator. But, as he piously recorded in his log, “The Almighty God would not suffer his elect to perish and sent a breeze which carried them safe to Dominica.” This was the beginning of the slave trade, which lasted for more than two centuries before it was finally suppressed.

Tartans of Scotch Clans.

Many Scotch clans have several tartans, such as a common tartan, a hunting tartan and a full dress tartan. Early in the day a position dons a kilt of plain tartan, and in she evening for dinner he puts on his full dress tartan, with sporran and richly jeweled dirk. For example, the Macpherson dress tartan is black and white, with a narrow red line, and the hunting Macpherson is a small blue and black and red check. The Stuarts have three tartans, and the design of their hunting tartan iu dark blue and green is particularly fine. Each clan has its own badge. The Duff men wear holly, the Gordons an Ivy leaf, the Stuarts an oak leaf, and so on.

Breton and Welsh.

Proof that the people of Wales and the people of Brittany, in France, come from the same parent stock is given every autumn when Breton boys go over to England to sell onions from their home fields. In Cornwall and Wales their native speech is readily understood. Armorican, the old language of Brittany, the ancient Cornish and Welsh—and for that matter Erse and Gaelic—are all closely allied languages, members of the Celtic group. Breton and Welsh are very much alike.

Their First Falling Out.

The speeding trains came together with a dull, sickening thud. A moment later the happy pair sat facing each other in the cornfield far away. “Well, what are you crying for?” asked the man. The lady wept anew. “It—it Is our first falling out,” she sobbed. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Deeds, Not Words. Father (sternly)—Didn’t I tell you if any of the other boys said anything to make you angry you should count twenty before you said anything? Tommy—Yes, sir, but I didn’t need to say anything. Before I’d counted twelve the other boy yelled “Enough!” —Philadelphia Press. A Little Short. “I’d like to know why it is,” said yonng Ardupp to his tailor, “that every time you make a pair of trousers for me you get them a little short.” “I suppose,” replied the knight of the featherless goose, “It’s because I usually find you that way when I present my bill.’* The Continued Descent.

The Democrat for county news. Millionalros’ Poor Stomach. The woro-out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often paraded in the public prints as a horrible examp'e of the evil attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not theonly ones that are afflicted with had stomachs. The proportion Is far greater among the toilers. Dyspepsia and constipation are rampant among these people and they luffer far worse tortures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green’s August Flower, which has been a favorite houeehold remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-fi v e years. August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living no matter what yonr station.
