TTia Two Classes, Amberlike ana Bleached, and Their Uses. Gum arable, which forms one of the. more Important minor exports of Egypt, Is really the sap from a special kind of tree which grows from three to five yards la height, whole forests of which are found in the Kordofan prov ince aud also near Gedid, lu the White Nile province. The natives are freo to collect the gum. The season during which the trees yield their sap runs from December to May. Prior to gath ering the crop the natives prepare the trees by slightly cutting the bark la numerous places. The sap then ex udes, solidifies in the shape of large and small lumps and is afterward gath ered by hand, such gathering being done before the rainy season com mences. There are two main classes of gum amberlike and bleached. In the latter the gum is merely exposed to the strong action of the sun generally In Omdurman while In the former In stance it is allowed to retain its nat ural amber color. The confectionery trade is perhaps the principal purchas er of gum arable, though a very large number of other Industries chemical works, printing and dyeing mills, let ter press printers and so on are inter ested in this product of Sudan.

One day Beckmann, the comic nctor, wns Induced to take off a well known newspaper cilitor, Frankd by name, in one of the characters he was repre senting in Berlin, lie performed his task so cleverly that at t'.ie close the audience broke out into bind calls for Frankel. TUe journalist brought nn action, and lleckmann w;is condemned to go to the house of the insulted par ty and there bes his p.'.rdoti in the presence of ivl nesscs. At the hour ap pointed Frankel sat in the circle of his family. tojfi-thor with a number of re lations aud friends who had been con vened for tile occasion, waiting the nr rlval of the delinquent. lie tarried Ion?, and half an hour had passed in weary suspense when at last the door opened, and Beckmann put ills bead in nud asked: "Toes Mr Meier live here?" "Oh, no," Buswcred Frankel. "He lives nest door." "Ah, then. I bc your pardon," said the actor nud hastily withdrew, hav ing thus acquitted himself of the im posed penance, to the great annoyance of Frankel nnd the Intense amusement of the assembled witnesses. London Tit-Bits. Posters In Paris. French law gives the authorities of every village and commune complete control over posters. "No one," write our consul general, "Is permitted in France to deface streets and public places with crude, ostentatious an nouncements of his business or other subject. Billboards are Infrequent In Taris and are generally built perma nently into a wall, where they are tax ed according to their superficial area. When a building is in construction and board screens are erected to shield the public from dust and other annoyance such temporary screen will soon be covered with posters of amusements nnd other business, but each poster so displayed has been previously submit ted to the authorities, a license obtain ed, and each sheet bears the canceled revenue stamp, according to Its size." A Long Swim. A tramp has beaten all known rec ords by swimming twenty -seven miles In thirty minutes. lie did not mean to do it. He merely tried to steal a ride from St. Louis to Chicago on the rear of a locomotive tender. When the train started he fell over backward through the open manhole into the water tank. The noise of the train drowned his cries for help, and he was obliged to swim until the first stop was reached at Alton. When taken out he was nearly dead, but the engi neer was so unfeeling as to call his at tention to the fact that the water was only four feet deep, and he might have Ptood up. The conductor, also unfeel ing, asked him for bis ticket, but the tramp said be bad not come by rail, but by water. Youth's Companion. Strange Bequests. In his will (Stephen Swain of the parish of St Olave, Soutbwark, gave to John Abbott and Mary, his wife, sixpence- each "to buy for each of them a halter for fear the sheriffs should not be provided," and John Aylett Stow left the sum of 5 guineas for the purchase of the picture of a viper biting the band of his rescuer to be presented to an eminent IC.

CHESS CLOCKS. c' Thar Are Specially Conetructed Oim Used In the Game. Hourglasses, or sandglasses, were formerly used for the purpose of meas uring time at chess matches, but now specially constructed clocks are In gen eral use for this purpose. Than clocks consist of two clocks mounted on a common base, which mores oo pivot, the two clocks therefore being on the arms of a sort of seesaw. The beam, or base, Is so constructed that when one clock Is elevated it stands perfect ly perpendicular, while the depressed clock lies over at an angle, but as the mechanism of each clock is so con structed that it only moves when the clock Is perfectly perpendicular it fol lows that when the upright clock 1: going the depressed clock Is at rest Another and more modern variety has the two clocks fixed on the same level, but with a small brass arm reaching from the top of one to the top of the other. This arm acts on a pivot and can be brought down Into actual contact with one clock at a time by a touch of the finger. When it is thus in contact by an ingenious device the clock is stooped and the desired result is attained. The working of the clock during a match Is simplicity Itself. At the oommeuceinent of the match the hands of each clock point to 12. Then nt the call of "time to commence play" the clock of the first player is started; then as soon ns he makes his first move he stops bis own clock either by depressing it or by touching the arm referred to, the same motion starting his opponent's clock. So It goes u during the entire course of the yame, each move being marked by the stop plus; of one dork and the starting of the other. COUNTERFEIT BILLS. The Check Letter Test on United States Currency. The Unite 1 States government prints Its currency and numbers Its bills iu a series of lour, so that every piece of paper money turned out bears one of the check letters A, B. C. 1. One of these letters is always found In two places im a t'liiled States bill. In the upper left hand corner and in the low er right hand corner. The placing of the letter vi the bill is not determined by the nuiiilMT of the bill. The rule is to divide I lie last two figures im the note by four. Should the remainder be one, the check letter must be A; should it be two. the check letter is B; three, the cheek letter Is C. and nothing, the letter n. For example, I have before me a five dollar certificate. Its number Is 814S07.10. The terminal number Is 80. Divide by four. The result is seven wkh two over. The check letter Is B. Here Is n yellow back gold certificate with twenty-three as Its terminal num ber. Divide this by four, and we have five with three over. C is the check letter. Should this rule of four fail to work on any United States currency note you may bet all you have that the mony is bod. Some counterfeited bills are right to their check letters, but a great many are not so If the rule of four works. The bill may be still bad, but If it doesn't it is surely bad. This rule applies only to 1'nited States cur rency and not to national bank notes. Minneapolis Jonrual. Spain's Buried Wealth. The Carthaginians nud the Tyrlans regarded Spain as El Dorado. It is but a poor country today, but potential wealth lies in its rock bound bills. Just as in the days of the ancients. When those acquisitive mariners, the Phoe nicians, first set foot in the country they exchanged their commodities, says Aristotle, "for such immense quantities of silver that their ships could neither contain nor sustain the load, though they used It for ballast and made their anchors and other im plements of silver." So rich in silver was the country then that the people are saW to have made their commonest domestic utensils of the metal and even their mangers. The Romans found that their greedy forerunners had sadly diminished the precious store, yet enough was left to satisfy not a few proconsuls. The Truthful Woman. It is no exaggeration to say that more or less truthful woman Is looked npon with grave suspicion. What is more, nobody believes her. If she quite truthfully pronounces her age to be twenty-nine everybody at once says then she must be at least thirty-five. while if she should ever be cajoled In to admitting the number of proposals she had In her youth it will only con firm the popular impression that she bad been very lucky to catch a bus band at all.
