I suppose Joe's mother had lost her flint. We kept our flint and what was called "the steel" In a round tin box such as would hold a quart of straw berries now, and it was on the man telpiece in the kitchen. It was half full of tinder. Half the boys and girls of today do not know what tinder is or was. Now, whoever was in the kitchen in the morning and found that the last hot coal of the wood fire had gone out took down the tinder box and struck 1 . " . - the steel with the flint smartly ana or- ten nnm a redhot spark fell on the tinder: then verv carefully she blew which made a part of the tinder box. Oh. dear! There were thousands of tinder boxes in little Boston the day I was born, and a few years ago I tried ! to buy one as a curiosity, and I could not find one in any of the junkshops. Jn those days old women would -stop at the door and ask you to buy some bundles of matches. They. had made these themselves of pine wood four inches long, which they had dipped in hot brimstone at both ends. And those were the only matches that anybody ever heard of.

POLVOGT COMPANY MM- The Store That's Always Busy" IKJ Y Continue LATHAM'S HOME RUN. And How, It Figured In Having Him Dubbed "the Dude." Charley Comiskey told the story of how Arlie Latham came to be called "the dude." "One spring during Latham's term of service with the good old St Louis Browns," said Comiskey, "he jumped into the opening game of the season and won us a victory by knocking out a home run in the last inning. Chris von der Ahe from his place in the grand stand saw Arlie make his sensa tional hit and naturally enthused. Aft er the game 'der boss president' enter ed the clubhouse and in that peculiar dialect of his said to Latham: " 'Arlie, my poy, you must be glad that I, Chris, vas proud mit you, an' I vill show you vat my feelings Is by giving you the present of somedings for you to wear on yourself. Take dis order on mine own tailor an' go an' dress up yourself. "Chris' order on the tailor read some thing like this: "'Give to Arlie der t'ings vat he buys, an' send to me der bill.' "Latham didn't do a thing on the strength of that order but replenish his ' wardrobe. For three days in suc cession he showed up at the ball park in a fine makeup, and every suit of clothes was brand new. On the fourth day Chris got a bill from the clothing people for $100. Naturally he sent for Latham and demanded an explanation. "'Why, Chris, old pal,' said 'Lath,' 'there's nothing to explain. Didn't you agree in that order you gave me to pay for what I bought, and haven't I just begun to buy? Why, old paL I have only got three suits and expect to be measured for another this after noon. What's wrong? 'Arlie,' replied Ton der Ahe, you vas de one infernal dude in de pizness, I Till dis bill pay, but you vill yourself go to der tailor an' mit him explain vot I dink of der impudence of you your self. You vill also stop mit de clothes you now have on an do no more mit such foolishness mit der man vot pays your salary.

On the road from Clifton downs to Avonmouth the traveler will pass, in the Avon gorge, a curious structure to which a singular tradition is attached, relates the London Tatler. The story is that a person named Cook about a century ago was told by a gypsy in the Leigh woods that his only son would be killed by a serpent before he reach ed the age of twenty-one. To avert this he built a high tower and shut hia son in the topmost room with the in tention of secluding him there until thev fatal age was passed. However, by ac cident a viper was taken up in a fagot to the room to light the fire, and it , crept from the fagot and bit the boy so that he died. Therefore the tower was called Cook's Folly, and that is its name to this day, whatever is the true explanation. An Ignoble Use. Washington Irving in "Crayon Pa pers" says: "I was once at an evening entertainment given by the Duke of Wellington at Apsley House to Wil liam IV. The duke had manifested his admiration of his great adversary, Napoleon, by having portraits of him in different parts of the house. At the bottom of the grand staircase stood the colossal statue of the emperor by Canova. It was of marble in 'the an tique style, with one arm partly ex tended, holding a "gure of Victory. Over this arm the dies in tripping upstairs to the ball had thrown their shawls. It was a singular office for the statue of Napoleon to perform in the mansion of the Duke of Welling ton! Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay, etc The Elder That Swore. An elder of the kirk, having found a little boy and his sister playing mar bles on Sunday, put his reproof in this form, not a judicious one for a child: "Boy, do you know where children go who play marbles on Sabbath day?" "Ay," said the boy. They gang doun to the field by the water belaw the brig. "No," roared out the elder; "they go to hell and are burned." The little fellow, . really shocked, called to his sister: "Come awa Jeanle. Here's a man swearing aw-fully."-"Reminiscences of Dean Ram say." Hats as Aids to Matrimony. "The wise woman is as careful about the choice of a hat as she is about the choice of a husband." The celebrated author who uttered this dictum may have exaggerated a little, but not much. And allow me, a woman, tc tell you solemn men whom I see sneer ing at the "frivolity" of my sex that often the cleverest among you chooses a wife for no better reason than that the woman thus selected has herself chosen a becoming hat!
