with one band hold down firmly one end of tbe picture and with the other draw the edge of a book or a ruler along the back of the photograph from the end you are holding to the other. If necessary repeat the process Until the sheet is perfectly flat Bricks Without Straw. She--Too many men expect their wives to run their homes oil practically nothing.

Tbe carpenter who his plane over tbe plank, the polisher who leaves it shining like a mirror, the gardener who sweeps the pa'hs, the carpet layer who drives his nails- all these people move or cause movement in a rart of their person. Add together all these rapid and apparently trivial movements and you will discover that they cover at least once in the course of a lifetime the long route around the earth. It has been calculated, and the calculation is easy to verify, that the writer with a facile pen who blackens the paper for five hours a day at the rate of thirty words a minute will thus cover a distance of about 30,000 miles a year by, so to say, mere strength of the wrist. That means a much greater distance than that of the circuit of the earth. And yet this unconscious hero has scarcely quitted his Magazine.

HADES COLD OR Paiter Locates It In Another In Sun. Two Washington hold widely differing opinions as to the location of hades. The Rev.

There are many little dogs in the moon, according to Dr. Baker. They are there to torment vivisectors.

Andrew Carnegie has succeeded not only in making himself the secoad richest man in the world, but also In enriching several of his fellow countrymen, says the London Chronicle. When the "stnr spangled Scot" retired from business his fortune was estimated at and he had made about ($200,000,000) for his friends and partners, a large proportion of whom are of Scottish birth. These include George Lander, his cousin, who now lives in retirement at Ptttsburg with at least ($20,000.000) to soothe His declining years. Thomas Morrison, also a cousin, and Alexander Peacock, another son of Dunfermline, likewise amassed huge fortunes at PJttsburg.

GOLDSTEIN, 1136 W. 63d St. ODD STUNTS WITH A Wonderful by European of "I saw a downright novelty on the bill ot a European music hall," said a man who spends a bit of bis time on the other side.

"It was furnished by an Austro-Hungarian, who accomplished some wonderful things with a whip. "One of his stunts was to take a long lashed, stout handled whip in each hand 'and. with orchestral accompaniment, proceed to crack or snap them at a terrific rate. The sound made by his whips in this manner is graduated from a noise like a rifle report to the soft click of a billiard balL It makes a curious sort of music and serves to show he can regulate the force of each stroke. "Another feature of bis performance Is achieved with a vicious looking whip with an abnormally long lash.

It is provided with a heavy handle of medium length. This is his favorite toy, and what he can do with it is really wonderful. He first gives an idea of what fearful force may lie in whiplash in the bauds of an expert. There Is a large frame shown, over which is stretched a calf or skin. This is marked with dots of red' paint Tbe man with the whip steps up and, swinging the lash round his head, lets fly at the I calfskin.

With every blow he actually pulls a piece out of the leather, leaving a clean cut hole. These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. "After this he takes a frame with three shelves. On there are a dozen or more of medium sized apples lying very close togetner and provided Tvith large numbers. Any one in the ludience may designate which apple he wishes struck, and the unerring lash snatches it out like a flash.

A still more difficult feat is the snapping of coins from a necked bottle. A piece of silver about the size of a half crown is put over the cork of the bottle, which stands on the edge of a. table. The whip artist without appearing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lash whizzing through the air and picks off the coin without jarring the bottle, much less breaking York Press.

"A fortune teller had pitched his tent opposite a 'broker's' shop, where a certain stock--say the Victorian not even a prospect--was being boomed.

Having nothing better to do, oae or two of us strolled into fortune teller's place. "He was the most plausible, persoa- sive and mystical kind of a mortal.
