Queer English Custom.
It Is customary In the Peak district
for the unmarried girls to peer
through the keyhole of the house early
mi St Valentine's morning before any
one else in the house is astir. They
believe that if this is done fasting,
omens of the year to come will he

hen pass together, the girl may he
sure that she will be married ere
the year Is out; if she sees a robin
alone it is a sign that she will have
a fortune left her; if u sparrow flies
up to the door and pecks about as
though for crumbs, she may take it
as a warning to be careful, und that
her good name will be in danger un-
less she take heed; while, if a hen
stroll by, It Is a sign that she will
be an old maid.
Discovered Jules Verne,
iletzel, tho French publisher, dls
covered Jules Verne. Iletzel began
with Verne by a life contract, guar
amoving an annual sum of J-1,000
which seemed immense riches to the
unknown writer. It was not ut all
proportionate to tho rapid success
and sale of his books throughout tho
known world. Jules Verne was con-
tent with his bargain and for many,
many years furnished dutifully liis two
volumes a year. At his death ho left
several more finished, or nearly so,
which explains the continued appear
auce of new works tearing his name.
Hotzel took pains to provide the writer
who was layiug golden eggs for him,
with a yacht and all other appurten-
ances necessary or useful to stimulate
his inventive powers.

the remainder are Turks, Kurds, Per-
sians and members of minor nation-
alities, varying In race, language and
creed. It bus been estimated that no
fewer than sixty languages are cur-
rent In the Caucasus between Mount
Elbruz and Mount Ararat.
India's Aluminum Wealth.
India offers a great field for future
supplies of aluminum. There are
great deposits of luterlto and buuxito
from which aluminum is derived. It
Is said that tho Indian product could
be placed on the market at a llgure
but little more than half that of the
present quotation. Tho use of this
metal Is handicapped by tho cost at
present, and If the metal could bo
secured at a lower cost Its field of
usefulness would be greatly expanded.
There are many comparatively ac-
cessible points where factories for tho
extraction of aluminum could be lo-
cated.
Credit.
Credit is an estimate of your ca
pacity to worry ubout paying your
bills which is held about you by a lot
of total strangers. Credit Is also a be
lief held of your ability to pay for
something long ufter you huve ceased
to derive any benefit from it Credit
Is likewise a gauge of yout willingness
to deceive yourself into the belief you
cun afford to buy something because
you cannot pay cash for it. If every
body paid cash there would be no
bond Issues, no huge clerical forces,
no national debts, no armies or inili
tary systems, no schools such as exist
toduy, no war, no degenerate fash
Iona—nothing but plain, everyday iiv
Ills. Credit enables evet.sbody to li-
ft fictitious existence. Nothing exceed-
ilko credit.—Life
Cities With Nine Lives.
The teaching of history Is that a
city is hard to kill. For instance,
lamdon has been decimated five times
by plagues, In addition to visitations
of typhus, cholera and other epidem-
ics. She lias been burned more or
less several times. Paris has gone
through eight sieges, ten famines, two
plagues and one fire which devastated
it. Rome has been swept by pesti-
lence no fewer Ilian ten times. She
has been twice burned and six times
driven to submission by starvation.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plagues and five sieges.
Poisonous Snakes Disappearing.
The uon-poisonous, harmless snakes
are rapidly destroying the poisonous
serpents throughout the world, say ex-
perts on reptile life. In a fight to a
finish, it is declared, a whole nest of
venomous rattlers" would have lit-
le chance against a single husky

tached to the mainland in polar re
giuns. In time this decays and form
a shallow soil in which tile seed of
buttercups and dandelions often find a
lodging, borne by currents of wind
that doubtless caught them up in some
southern clime. These take root and
bloom when the great gleaming ice-
berg floats out to sea and is carried
southward, where the soft winds melt
the surface and give the plants the
moisture they need.
Land of Babel.
The region of Transcaucasia has
the most curious mixture of races of
any district tn the world. It is, indeed,
a huge ethnological museum. Of its

CONCERNING POSTERITY.
“We want posterity to feel that it
Mves a great deal to us,” said the
statesman.
I don t know about its owing
much (o us,” replied the politician"
•But after we get through piling up
lobts, posterity is going to feel that
t owes a great deal to somebody.”
ANOTHER MATTER.
“I ought to operate. Do you think
you can stand it?” asked Doctor
Twinges.
“Oh, 1 guess so,” answered Ducks-
Worth, bravely. “I’ve got a pretty
good nerve, Doe.”
“Ahem I I was not referring par-
ticularly to your nerve, my dear fek
ow, but to your bank account.”
