There ere lots of little things done st this fountain. «f»
■mall within themselves but taken altogether makes £
quite an argument in favor of your patronising us. a
For Instance ^
Every glass we use is thoroughly washed in a solu- T
tion of Dicarbonate water of soda, wnnced in clear **•
water and pointed. You had rather have them
that way, wouldn't you? Spoons gto through tne
same process. 4|t
For Ins/auce
Before refiling syrup jars we scald out the jars ^
thoroughly, which allows no possible chance for sour
or musty syrup. T
For Instance . . '%
We keep seperate glasses and spoons for indian *v
trade and never serve a white person from these. t$»
For Instance *f*
We serve pure whipped cream with Our Ice Cream a*
Sodas and Sundaes. It takes that sharp taste away £
from the soda wafer and adds a richness to the
Sundaes. Try One; they are different.

But there arc certain forma of life
that can stand much mors heat. Some
molluska are not Incommoded until

and certain kinds of worms are not
killed until a temperature of 17$ de-

Aa to cold, it might almost be said
that no cold la great enough to de-
stroy all traces of life; certainly no
natural cold Is great enough; It la only
by the extreme cold produced by ar-
tificial means that all life Is ended.
For frogs the limit la 18 below sero.
for myriapods 5S below, for snails 184

by nature.
But the greatest cold registers are
the bacteria. The germs of the plague
have kept their vitality for several
months la a temperature of 84 below;
those of diphtheria have remained
alive after being Immersed for an
hour in a refrigerating solution at 78

The greatest cold sustained is by
the germs of tuberculosis, which are
not affected by 148 below, and suc-

“Undeniably.'* he said, “crime doee
la some degree diminish in January on
accoi’-t of the criminal’* New Year
resolutions. But a New Year’s resolu-
tion doesn’t make a permanently good
mas any more than one swallow makes
s summer.”
Detective Adair smiled.
“Last season." he aald. “my Investi-
gations of a ‘crime passlonnc!' In Chi-
cago—that hotbed of 'crime passion-
nels'—caused me to dlsgulao myself as
a tramp.
“Shadowing a governess. I sat on a
park bench on a bright afternoon, and
bealde me sat a comfortable old gen-
tleman in blue goggles. I had on the
worst rags and tatters you can Im-
agine. I was especially proud of my
coat—a black coat patched with about
50 patches, red, green, brown, and
even white.
“Well, the old gentleman, after a
time, began to talk to me. He said:
I “ ‘Before my sight failed I was a
tailor—and, I assure you, sir, a suc-
cessful tailor. 1 knew my business.’
“He laid his hand on my arm and
felt tha texture of a green patch cut
from a coat that had been given me
by the valet of a Michigan avenue
clubman.
! “ Thu3, simply by the feel of this
cloth,’ be said, ‘I know that you are
wearing a suit of imported cloth worth
from |70 to |80.’ ”
“Some people live to learn,** re-
marked the Plunkvllle philosopher,
“and some people know It all from th*
atari. Some people have poor friends
and are kept busy dodgin’ 'em, and
aom* have successful associates and
have to put la a lot of time explainin’
that tha aforesaid successes are nuth-
in' but a string of flukes. Some peo-
ple have greatness thrust upon 'em,
and some bafter withdraw in favor of
another after goto* through 45 heart-
breakta' ballots. Some people buy
coal by the ton In August and some
people buy it by th# peck in Decem-
ber, glvln’ out that they do It so as
not to start a bull market. Some peo-
ple part with works of genlua for a
song, and others retail gold bricks at
grand opery prices. Some get thrown
out of work and others don’t wait to
be thrown out, but allde out handily.
Some practice what thay praach and
some get It off extemporaneously.
Some aats back modestly and some la
such hosts In themselves that they'll
do all the honors at the party you're
payin’ fer.**
"What’s the matter. PalegT*’ In-
quired tho town constable. “You ain't
feelln' well, be ye?"
“Oh, you. Fact la, I was foolish
enough not to take sides when the Up-
lift society split, and now I've got ter
listen to tha grievance of both fac-
tions."—Puck.

Republican Movement Practically Ex-
tinct In Europe.
Nothing is more remarkable in tbe
last quarter of a century than the re
vival of monarchy. There waa once
a strong republican movement in Eng
land. It is extinct, in Italy repub-
licanism was a religion. It Is now
merely tbe shibboleth of a party
Spain tried a republic and abandoned
It. The simultaneous assassination of
the king and crown prince of Portugal
consolidated instead of shattering the
dynasty. When the most republican
of northern nations severed its con-
nection with the Swedish crown, tbe
Norwegians immediately created a new
monarchy. Not even the influence of
the students trained in the American
college on the Bosporus could give the
republic a chance in Bulgaria. Tbe
glories of ancient Hellas could not in*
duce tbe modern Greeks to restore the
republic. The present generation baa
crowned new kings in Servla and In
Roumania. Russian revolutionists are
tolerably radical, but no serious party
and no sane politician has proposed
to replace the autocracy by a repub-
lican president. Outside Europe the
ancient monarchy of Japan has proved
in victory what tbs imperial throne of
China has proved in defeat, the utili-
ty of tbe monarchical principle. Out-
side the American hemisphere, there
are to-day only two republics of note,
the ancient confederacy of the Swiss
cantons snd the not yet 40-year-old
French republic.—Appleton’s.
Old-Fashioned Gentlsmsn 8sys a Few
Words on the Subject.
“Whether to eat fish wtfh a flab
knife and fork or a fork and a bit of
bread, whether to serve champagne In
a tumbler or a goblet—it is quite ab-
surd to regard one of these couraee as
right and the other as wrong, and to
admire or despise a person according-
ly. Tbe average rule of etiquette has
nothing to do with courtesy, with good
breeding, and It is no criterion of cour-
tesy or of good breeding.”
The speaker, an old-fashioned gen-
tleman from the country, knotted the
t nds of his napkin more firmly about
his neck.
"Smile at me, nephews and niece#,’’
hf* recn*ned. "because I tuck r-y nap-
kin under my chin. Tat why should I
spoil my black broadcloth coat with
turkey staina or smears of cranberry
sauce? It Is a rule of etk.uette, you
say, that th# napkin may only ha
placed across the knee. An absurd,
ephemeral rule!
“It waa a rule of etiquette In Franca
during the reign of ‘Le Roi Solell.' tha
great Louie XIV., that when the king
visited a sick subject the king, too,
must lie down In a bed, on tbe ground
that It would never do for a subject to
maintain a more Informal attitude than
hts master dining tho audience. Louis
XIV., visiting Marshal da Villara
after Malplaquet. lay in a bed beside
the suffering soldier In that way.
“Behold the absurdities of etiquette,
md let me do with my napkin what
I please.”
Actual Cutting Beldam Done by Artist
Who Haa Charge.
The artist makes a model first, not j
always life size, but almost none of !
them actually do I he cutting In tbe ;
marble. This work is entrusted to !
hi;l ly skilled artisans, who do the
woik under direction, the sculptors !
superintending all the finishing touch- '
es and, on occasion, some of the cut-
ting on tbe face and hands. The actual
cutting of the atone is a most difficult
process and requires great expert
skill. In case a full-sized model is
made the sculptor sends It to a pro*
fesslonal marble cutter, who roughly
shapes tbe block. The general shape
Is often given to the block before it
leaves the marble yard, in order that
ce- tain costa of freight may be saved.
The rough carving is then done by
the marble cutter, who so shapes the
iloak as to give it tbe general out*
Lie. He first drills a scries of ho’e3
m the block and then chops off the
pieces.—Illustrated 8unday Magazine.
No Rest
Day or Night
“I would lay awake for hour*
without any apparent cause, or
dream terrible dream# which
would bring on extreme spells
of nervousness. After taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Tonic
for awhile I could sleep well,
and the nervous spells have left
me.” MISS ALMA HUG,
R. R, No. 4. Canal Dover, Ohio
Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
body-building sleep accompanies
the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine
! because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
| energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
! natural and healthful. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re*
a
turn your money,*

Sir Robert
Italian Ravsng*. 1
This Is a story of Italian revenge.
A vendor of plaster statuettes saw a
chance for a sale in a well-dressed,
bibulous man who was tacking down
the street.
You buy-a de statuette?” he asked,
alluringly holding out hts choicest of-
fering. “Gar-r-ri-baldi—I sell-a him
verra cheep. De gr-reat-a Gar-r-ri-
baldi—only thirta cental”
Oh. t'ell with Garibaldi,” aald the
bibulous one, making a swipe with bis
arm that sent Garibaldi crashing to
the sidewalk.
For a moment the Italian regarded
the fragments. Then, his eyes flash-
ing fire, be seised from his stock a
statuette of George Washington. “You
t'ell-a with my Gar-r-ribaldl ?’’ be
hissed between his teeth. "So.” He
raised the immortal George high above
his head and—crash! it flew into frag-
ments alongside of the ill-tated Gari-
baldi. "Ha! I to hell-a wid your
George Wash! Ha. ha!"—Every-
body’s Magazine.
Long Chinese Banquets.
Sir Robert Hart, the veteran in-
spector general of the Chinese cus-
toms, speaking at a dinner In London
ihe other day said tbr.t he once. In
Pekin, sat out a banquet lhat lasted
for 17 consecutive hours. There were
125 courses, and he tasted them alL
Mr. Ward, the American envoy to
China, who tried to secure an Inter-
view with the Emperor Hleng-Fung in
1869, tells how he was entertained at
a dinner that lasted from noon one
day until six o’clock on the evening of
the day following. The total number
of courses is not given, but Ward
mentions that he had to give in after
i artaklng of 138 different dishes,
‘whereupon his hosts wondered great-
ly"—presumably at his abstemious-
ness.
A Public Park That Pays.
It la a bit astonishing to learn from
official source that the most fa-
mous, extensive and beautiful munici-
pal park in the world yields s larger
revenue In money to tbs city in wblch
It is located than th# cost of main-
t; tiling it. It coat the city of Paris
5112,000 to care for the Boia da Bou-
logne laBt year, and the revenue from
the rental of the numerous pavilions j
In tbe park, where all Par.s takes tea
and dines In summer, was 1154,000.
The expediency of thus making a
groat public park yield a large reve-
nue from private concessions may be
open to question, but so long as they
add to the attractions of the park they
are quite permissible from the public
viewpoint The particularly notable
thing about this showing is that the
totnl expense of maintaining this beau-
tiful park, which contains 2,250 acres,
is only $142,000.

Value of th* Bonus.
The bonus is a great institution. Its
advantages over an increase of salary
are manifold. An employe looking for-
ward to a Christmas or New Year
present of ten to 50 per cent, of his
annual salary will toll pretty hard to
make a prosperous year. Bonus hangs
upon prosperity. It Is a saving clause
for the employer. He can say at the
close of a bad year: “Boys, we haven’t
paid expenses In the lost 12 months,
so we can't afford to give you a
bonus,” or “We ore too poor to de-
clare s dividend; you will have to
wait for better tlmqs to get a bonus.”
It’s mighty nice for a man whose pay
to 13,000 a year to receive a bonus of
60 per cent. That makes his salary
$4,800 tor st least one year.
Man’s Limitations.
A man has the liberty to go through
the street twinging bis arms. But
should his careless action injure a
child, his conduct becomes criminal
in the s'ght of the tow. An orator has
the liberty to shout his unbelief to
the crowd. But should his self-con-
ceit rob one soul of ite faith and hope
in a divine fatherhood, his preaching
becomes criminal. For what te im-
perfect man that he sh&uld presume to
set himself up os a god, while the
starry heavens demand his reverence,
and the rising sun, and the unquench-
able faith In human souls since the
beginning of time, have their source
in a beneficent Creator beyond the
narrow confines of this universe.—Chi-
cago Poet.
The Complexion in Winter.
Some sklnB will endure more than
others, but all are fallible. It Is not
necessary to swathe oneself in veils
or to live constantly under tho shade
of a parasol. That would destroy the
pleasure and benefit as well, of life out
of doors, but It Is comparatively sim-
ple to soothe and comfort the skin
with qpld creams at night, to protect It
with cfoeam and powder when a day
of ex'reme and trying exposure Is ex-
pected and to use a little restraint In
exposure when it Is possible. Taken
In moderate degrees, fresh air and sun-
shine are good for a complexion and
certainly the good health resulting
from them is the best possible founda-
tion for s clear, beautiful skin.—

Brief Wills.
Ten lines on a scrap of paper were
sufficient to dispose of the Immense
fortune of the late Mr. Henry Barna-
to. The will was not the shortest on
record, but It ran the record clots.
Probably the briefest testament was
that of a Streatham (Eng.) gentleman
who had often declared that he would
make hie will on a half-sheet of note-
paper. Probably he had Balfourlan
leanings in politics. He did aa he had
said, and wrote "All for mother” on a
bit of paper. The will was signed
“C. T.” and witnessed by the teetir
tor’s two sons. The document was
admitted to probate in due course.
