CASE OF TELEPHONE GRAFT jMw Poor Poople Manage to Havo Messages Sent Without Paying 1 the Toll. ; The telephone on the desk in the animals shelter rang and a woman's ,Tolce "said: "Say, miss, there is a half-starved cat up here on One Hunjdred and Fourth street. Can you send tip and get her?" One Hundred and Fourth street house, then the voice at the wire went on: "Say, mias, would you mind calling up this other number for me? It is -where my sister works, in the Bronx. Tell her to come down. Jimmy is sick, there ain't a bite in the house, and I haven't got a cent to bless myself rwith, let alone a nickel to telephone to her, but, honest, there is a cat in the basement, and it's half starred." The clerk sighed. "Worked again, she said. "That happens with discour aging frequency lately. We have lefU a small sum of money at certain drug stores to pay for telephone calls In regard to stray animals. Usually the druggist telephones the message himself, but If he is too busy he hands jcrat a nickel, and trusts the person I who has found the animal to do the I telephoning. Some poor souls who would like . to send messages of their jawn that they cannot afford to pay off have learned "where those drug stores iare, and ring In their own messages Jfree, begging us to transmit them to jthe persons they wish to reach. In j really serious cases we haven't the j heart to refuse. This sounds like a ! serious case, so I suppose I shall have to telephone up to the Bronx." New iTork Press. H0W PERFUME IS OBTAINED Beef Fat Is Exposed to Fresh Flowers Until It Is Permeated With ' Their Odors. i j3r a process known as enfieurege, i which Is the exposure of beef fat to fresh flowers in close boxes until it U thoroughly permeated and charged with their odors, the perfumes of various flowers are obtained which could not otherwise be so effectively preserved apart from the fresh petals. Those flowers are violet, Jasmine; tuberose, rose, orange flower and cas sla (cinnamon flowers). From tha:e rix there are fifty or more combina tions made for the simulation of the Odors of other flowers. Sweet pea Is made with orange flower and Jasmine, hyacinth Is counterfeited by Jasmine and tuberose and the lily of the valley j br violet and tuberose. . The resources of the perfumer are, however, by no means confined to the j pomades, as the rcented fats are term ed. He uses many essential oils, the principle of which are sandalwood, beramot, lemon, rceemary, neroll (made from bitter orange flowers), patchouli and attar of roses. The later, which Is not now used so much as formerly. Is rery difficult to obtain In a pure state, because its reat cost Umpis to dishonest adulteration. Very often geranium c?l Is substituted for it Musk is another Important ingredient, entering, as It does. Into almost all perfumes except those that actual, ly are limitations of flower odors or, as styled by p?.-fumers, "natural," as, for Instance, the heliotrope, tuberose, white rose and violet.

SQUARE PIES OF HIS YOUTH Mr. Oldtome Is Reminded of Them by Advertisement of Griddle for Square Pancakes. I find In a newspaper," said Mr. Oldsome, "an advertisement of a griddle to cook square panscakes. I never before heard of a square pancake, but I distinctly remember that In my youth in my home we had square pies. If you've heard of square pies for heaven's sake choke me off right here, but if you haven't you might like to. "Square pies were not exactly square; they were baked In straight side oblong tins that were square cornered. The pies baked In such tins were always either pumpkin or custard, never mince or apple or any sort of pie with works that were chopped or otherwise of such nature that they would easily fall out when a piece of pie was lifted. "These square pies used to cut six or eight pieces to the pie. You cut first straight down the length of the tin from end to end in the middle and then you cut across at equidistant points either two or three times according to the number of pieces into which you wanted to cut the pie. "This gave you either six or eight pieces in a pie, according to the number of crosscuts you made, the pieces being each square and all of approximately the same size, exactly so if the cutting was done accurately, as from long practice It was likely to be. But obviously the corner pieces had twice as much crust as the Inside pieces. This, however, was not a disadvantage, for some people like more filling, some like more crust. I always used to ask for a corner piece." WHEN HEINE SAW NAPOLEON The Trees Appeared to Bow to the Little Emperor, Said the Great German Poet. There came a day also when the young Heine saw Napoleon: Tt-was in the avenue of the palace garden at Düsseldorf. As I thrust my way through the throng I thought of the deeds and the battles which M. Le Grand had drummed to me, and my heart beat the march of the general and yet at the same time I thought of the police order prohibiting riding through the avenue, penalty five shillings and the emperor with his suite rode down the middle of the avenue, and the scared trees bowed as he passed and the sunbeams trembled in fear and curiosity through the green leaves, and In the blue heavens there swam visibly a gold star. The emperor was wearing his mod est green uniform and his little cocked hat known the world over. He was riding a little white horse that paced so calmly, so proudly, bo securely and with such an air. Listlessly sat the emperor, almost loosely, and one hand held high the rein and the other tapped gently on the neck of the little horse. The emperor rode calmly down the middle of the avenue. No agent of the police opposed him; behind him proudly rode his followers on foaming steeds and they were laden with gold and adornments; the drums rattled, the trumpets blared, and with a thousand voices the peop'ie cried: "Long live the emperorl,w New York World. . Uses of Corn. Expert of the agricultural departrcat have figured It out that more

than thirty products are made from corn, eiclusive of whisky. Among them are six kinds of glucose used in table syrup manufacture; four kinds of crystal glucose used In candy making; corn oil, used In making fibre paint and rubber substitutes; granulated gum, alcohol, fusel oil, cornmeal. From the stalk are taken cellulose, for packing holes in battleships pierced by bullets; varnish, paper pulp and live stock foods. And the humble cob has its many uses. When ground into corncob meal it aids digestion of cattle; it is used by the farmers for corks and by everybody for pipes. It has a high fuel value. Three tons of cobs produce as much heat as one ton of hard coal. Cob ashes fed to hogs keeps them healthy, and being rich in potash cob ashes makes a valuable fertilizer. Kansas City Journal. Salt Eaters. Idiosyncrasy often takes the form of a special craving for, instead of an objection to, certain foods. Many people possess an extraordinary relish for common salt, and will eat it by the teaspoonful when opportunity admits. This sometimes leads to obesity and dropsy, but it has also the peculiar effect of Increasing the weight. One young lady who devoured immense Quantities of salt on every possible occasion, and emptied all the Bait-cellars on the table at each meal, would increase as much as 10-lb. In weight in twenty-four hours, and was fs$quently unable to wear a dress which was quite loose for her on the previous day. Oldest Civic Regalia. The crystal mace of the Lord Mayor of London dates from Saxon times, as the workmanship of Its crystal and gold shaft with Jeweled head declares. From the time before the Normans ,this mace, which is barely eighteen inches long, has symbolized sovereignty over the city, when the Lord Mayor was still known as the portreeve, and London was an independent state. It is the oldest piece of civic regalia In the world, and it Is seen only at the induct' on of the Lord Mayor on Noyember 8 and at the coronation of the OT'.eign. 4 Attribute of Success.

CANT LEAVE THE OLD FOLKS

Kansas Girl's Reason for Refusal U Wed Is the Occasion for Some Serious Thought. A bride about-to-be ia a Kanass town the other day suddenly refused to be wed. She gave her reason In a nutshell: "I can't leave the old folks." She echoed the tragic plaint of a familiar song. It gives occasion for profound reflection; as, at first thought, this: how shall the line he drawn between filial love and duty and the urge of the supreme conqueror of lives the' God of Lore? In all oriental countries this problem could not exist; the wildest of passionate love must yield before the ingrained obligation to a parental authority and due. In our own land the parents not the child raise tha petitioning hand. That is what makes the Kansas girl's act remarkable. When 13 a child justified in deserting her father and mother? For how long should she bide a wee? There is so much to be considered coldly, although it Is difficult. These old par fents, by the and-irons gave her life, nurtured her; gladly bestowed upon her the very essence of their love. Her growth was their daily scrutiny and sly remark; her "development to womanhood, their wonder and pride. And then, as a singing, precious llrd, she . escaped from their cage. Thus it was for them, and is and shall continue to be for countless heart-broken parents. Philadelphia Press, DISHPANS MAY BE MUSICAL Man Who Sleeps Mornings Thinks They Should Be Keyed to a Diatonic Scale. "For a long time," said the man who sleeps mornings, "I have been hoping that some one would arise and invent dish pans in E fiat and kettles in O major. The family above me apparently always washes its dinner dishes the morning after. "Yet I do not know that the bang of a dish pan is as bad as the Mozartlan melodies dispensed by the occasional hand organ. I have about come to the conclusion, however, that two generations hence mankind will be able to relish any metallic noise as music. There is Richard Strauss, you know, and Claude Debussy. We have got wonderfally used to sheer cacophony and some of us maintain, with what truth I do not know, that we like it "If I thought that in 20 or 30 years we would be able to enjoy the dish pan and kettle motifs I would never again complain. But I think that since w are making i;uch strides in the direction of enjoying harsh sounds the inventors might meet us half way by Inventing sets of houseware keyed to diatonic scale." '"Pins and Needles." After being for a long time in a conStrained attitude a peculiar numbness and pricking Is often felt In the arm, leg or foot. This is caused by some interruption to the circulation and can usuauy be removed by rubbing or exercise. The reason of the sensation, which is decidedly uncomfortable while it lasts, is that pressure for a certain length of time deadens the sensibil ity of a nerve. When this pressure is suddenly removed (as straightening out the leg after sitting with It dou bled underneath the body) sensibility gradually returns to the nerve, and as each nerve-fiber composing the trunk regains its normal condition of sensibility a pricking sensation Is felt. and these successive prickings from the successive awakenings of the nu merous fibers have not inaptly been called "pins and needles." From the Family Doctor. Killing Cougars Saves Deer. It Is estimated that every cougar In the state causes the death of at least 50 deer during the year. Some expert hunters maintain that a big cougar of mountain Hon will destroy as many as 100 deer In a single year. The estimate that the Hies of 500 dear have been saved through the killing of nine of these wild beasts Is regarded as conservative. The trip of Winters and Thompson was undertaken for the purpose of killing off as many cougars as possible In two weeks and they returned bringing nine skins as trophies. The huntsmen have already sold the largest skins, one of which measures 8 feet 7 Inches In length and the other al most eight feet By disposing of these . two skins for mounting the hunters ( are deprived of the state bounty of j' $10 apiece, because the present bounty laws require the cutting off of a fore paw. Portland Oregonian. Instruction In Cartoons. I have found that on3 of the easiest and most interesting ways of teaching my growing boys current events Is by having them make a scrapbook of the cartoons that appear in the daily papers and magazines. As soon as the papers have been read, the cartoons and pictures that bear on the leacjing questions of the day are carefully cut out and put in a special place till t!e end of the month. Then we look over them together and sare for the scrapbook only the best and cleverest. It Is really surprising what a delightful little recreation this makes for the evenings. It encourages a discussion of current history, in which the father usually joins, and at the same time promises a feeling of good comradeship between parents and children. Harper's Basar. Knew Hr Part. The other day Mrs. Penhecker's younger sister was married, and a day or two after the wedding the husband said: .' "Now, darling, I don't believr in bearing malice, and if ever . I have any necessity to say anything unkind or to make use of any hard words to you, I will always take them back again as soon as I have cooled down." "You needn't take that trouble, my dear," replied his wife, 6miling sweetly; "for if you ever use any hard words to me. 111 always give them back to you at once."

PERFUME ABSORBED BY EGGS Drug Store Clerk Is Convinced That They Should Be as Carefully Kept as Butter. Englishmen were such peculiar chaps, the druggist said, that he was not a bit surprised when the strapping young fellcw whQ had ordered an eee ühosühate said. "Never mind," Just before the clerk cracked the egg, and hurried out of the store, but he was surprised when the Englishman returned a few minutes later and apologized for his abruptness. "It was the place you took that egg from that scared me out," he said. "I noticed that it came from a box in one corner of the perfume case. How long had it been there?" "Only a few hours," said the clerk. We get fresh egg3 every day." "But you shouldn't keep them there at all," said the Englishman. "Don"t you know that eggs are almost as bad as butter to absorb odors? The shells protect them a little, but it takes only a short time for a really strong perfume to soak through. I have tad many a phosphate spoiled because the egg In it had been nestling against a cologne bottle." The clerk said, "How utterly ridiculous," but he remembered that another customer had complained of a triple extract flavor to an egg drink, so later in the day he moved the perfumes back to another counter. CLING TO THE RED KERCHIEF In Other Respects the Women of Champery, Switzerland, Wear the Dress of Men. Something of the old romance of Switzerland still clings to Champery nearly 3,500 feet above the Rhone Valley. The inhabitants, about 800, still preserve certain local peculiarities of dress. The dark type greatly predominates, the women being handsome and well developed. The vivid scarlet kerchiefs which they wear knotted around their heads are singularly becoming. Even In. the principal hotels this native head dress is worn by the waitresses. Outside the village Itself the women in winter wear men's dress long trousers and jacket but they still keer their red kerchiefs. Indeed, as they have to go about a great deal In deep snow, sometimes on ski, looking after the cattle in the stables and doing r good deal of Work which in more prosperous districts is generally left to men, they could not very well keep to their skirts. A Sixth Sens?. An interesting discussion arose at a recent college lecture concerning the "instinct of direction" possessed so marvelously hy savage races, and hy animals. Undoubtedly animals are aided largely by scent. In the case of humans It Is different and Fome of the pupils argued that the primitive m3n is able to fnd his way In thdenscst forest without tailing rote of the sun, the wind, the lay of the land, or the course of the streams. Therefore It was said he must be guided by a sixth sense, because none of the regular fivo senses could cid him. Other pupils, however, argued that the Indian found his way In places where there were no apparent guides because he knew how", because he had learned all his life how to do it, Just as the writer, for instance, will writ page after page of copy, spelling all the words correctly, but yet cannot, If asked, spell a simple word. This Is because he learned the words long Bfo, and his spelling: Is purely mechanical. It Is so with the Indian finding his way through the woods. Invisible Indians. All (Indians seem to have learned a wonderful way of walking unseen making themselves Invisible like certain spiders, which In case of alarm, caused for example by a bird alighting on the bush their webs are spread upon, Immediately bounce themselves up and down on their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur Is visible. The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there Is little or no cover to hide In, was probably slowly acquired In hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise or get safely away when compelled to retreat. And this experience transmitted through many generations seems at length to have become what Is vaguely called Instinct. John Mulr In the Atlantic. Sydney Smith's Aversions. Sydney Smith shared Lord North's dislike for musical concerts. "Nothing" he wrote, "can be more disgusting than an oratorio. How absurd to see 500 people fiddling like madmet about the Israelites in the Red Bet.1" But Smith's pet aversion was music in tJue minor key. "It made him melancholy," according to O. W. B. Russell, "and had to be discontinued when he was In residence at St. Paul's." He lived, however, to repent him of his musical heresies. Late in life he said: 'If I were to begrln life again I would devote much time to music. All musical people seem to be happy; It is the most engrossing pursuit; almost the only Innocent and unpunished passion." The First Cause. "I, sir. remarked the indignant citizen, "am a taxpayer.?

i ii nu METHODS OF SUGAR Up in the Hills the Lore Is hUnded Dawn From One Generation to Another. In these hills the lore of the woods and the best methods of sugar making, handed from one generation to another, are carried from the famous troves to the smaller ones. A helper in our second year told, between gasps, as she stirred "cakes" for dear life, that "at Miss Susannah's she wouldn't let us change hands nor even etir the other way. We had to get the light color.". Yet when some of our sugar pleased a local critic he said, "Will's foII:s make lighter color sugar'n yours, but tain't so good. They break the graiu tryin to stir it too much, and it hurts the flavor." He did not know physics nor could our helpers tell us the reason for their rules of thumb, for it has been an interesting hunt for us, from the variations of temperature in the different runs of our first year's Birup, to the intricate chemical and mycological problems not yet solved. 4 From our local helpers, from our reading and from years of varied experience, we have learned what effect every detail of knowledgs and care upon the finished product. But flavor depends upon the soil and the trees themselves. Our big, old trees on high land start early because of their southeastern exposure, and have long been famous for the flavor of their sugar. To the foundation we have added our study, and we have persistently followed every hint of better methods until we have advanced the price of our product, 400 per cent! We sold our first year's sugar, without grading, In large pails for ten cents a pound. Now we make It into three grades, soft sugar, cakes and cream, packing them in one-pound boxes, and get 40 cents for the best. Outing Magazine. JUST LIKE A FRENCH FARCE Experience of Woman Who Told Husband Her Plans for Day and Changed Her Mind. T have come to think it Is not a tood plan to tell your family what you expect to do during the day, observed the young matron. "For instance, the other morning at the breakfast table I said to my husband that I thought it would be a good day for me to go out to visit a friend of ours. Later, telephoning my husband's mother, I told her the same thing. Indeed, I was then on my way to the tation. Arriving there, however, I found the schedule changed and no train for two hours. Of course, that meant no visit that day, so I started out looking for a certain household article I had long wanted and intended as a surprise to my husband.' As I hurried along through unaccustomed streets and passed a lot of excavating and bullding, I thought: Suppose a brick or; something fell off that house and knocked me senseless, what would my husband think? However, nothing of tat kind happened, but I ran across an old friend, a man, who promptly Invited me to lunch. As I I had told the maid I'd be out all day, I accepted, and in the restaurant i whom should I meet but my husband's partner, and on our way home, when my friend blew me to a taxi, my husband's sister. "Well, I felt as though I were In a French farce, and you may be sure I

Gave Father the Silence. "I can sympathize wflh officers up at West Point who get in bad with the cadets and are punished with sii lence," said a New York man to a crony. "I started hoje one evening a week ago with the best Intentions ! after promising my wife to be at the j dinner table at 6:30. I don't remember all that happened, but I let myself into the silent house at 2 a. m. and Hot to bed unseen. "Next morning I wasn't called for breakfast, but got to the table unaided on time. My wi:e and three daughters, were there. 'Good morning, all! I said as cheerily as' I could. Not a word in response. Breakfast passed without a sound. That thing was kept up for three days. They wouldn't even talk to me by telephone. On the fourth morning things were natural again, but I was warned that the next jJIcjcö mieb blon SAGACITY OF THE SPIDER Experiment Made by Naturalist Prove. That Insect Has Almost Powers of Reason. By way of testing the intelligence or sagacity of a spider a naturalist tried a rather novel experiment recently. He took a large spider from his web under the basement of a mill, put him on a chip of wood, and set him afloat upon the quiet waters cf the pond. The spider walked all about the sides of this bark, surveying the situation carefully, and when the fact that he was really afloat and about a yard from shore seemed to be fully comprehended, he looked out for the nearest land. This point fairly settled upon, he immediately began to cast a web for it. He threw the web, as far as possible In the air and with the wind. It soon reached the shore and made fast to the spires of grass. Then he turned himseif about, and in true sailor fashion began to haul In his cable hand over hand. Carefully he drew upon It until his bark began to move towards shore. As it moved faster the faster he drew upon bis hawser to keep It taut and from touching the water. Quickly he reached shore, and, leaping to terra Anna, sped away homeward. Thinking he might be a special expert In that line of boatmanshlp to the rest of his companions, the naturalist tried several spiders. They all came to shore In Ilk manner. Not Again. A farmer going over his land the other day caught a village loafer, accompanied by his dog, trespassing In a eld, and after threatening him with certain prosecution in case he caught him trespassing again, hurried away, expecting that the offender 'would at once quit the field after the severe warning given to him. Returning, however, through the same field an hour afterward he was surprised to meet the man in another part of it, and exclaimed In a very angry tone: "What! Trespassing again?" "No, no," answered Geordie, "it's still the same trespass. Fair play, scr; fair play, noo.MIdeas. Dr. Danforth, Dentist, pious 4933-
