lUNIQUE TOWNS ON THE GLOBE Queer Places That are Like no Others the World Over. Doubtless the most unique spot n Europe is the little village of Altenberg, where on its borders four countries meet. It is ruled by no monarch, has no soldiers, no poâ€" lice, and no taxes. Its inhabitant-s speak a curious jargon of French and German combined, and spend their days in farming the land or working inthe valuable calamine mine of which it boasts. . The little town of Stanley, in the Falkland Islands. possesses the most unique school services ever known. Two travelling school mas- ters are provided by the Govern- ment, who visit the different famil- ies where there are children and give instruction. The length of their the children, and they may spend visit depends on the astuteness of days or weeks, as the case may be, at one house alone. i A town boasting of a railway staâ€" tion which cost $20,000 to erect, and a Iduly-appointed station-master, and yet having no train service, is unique beyond dispute. Dundeed, in New Jersey, is in this predica- ment, the inhabitants having actuâ€" ally no trains, although their fine station is available for any amount f traffic. The reason given for this ‘strange fact is that so long as the trains run through the inhabitants lought to be satisfied. ' >1“ some LARGE SALARIES. Some interesting inside facts are occa- sionally divulged in regard to the enorm- ous sa aries earned by some insurance agents. It is reported that two agents recently ap- ponited by the National Life Assurance Com- fiany in one of our large western cities ave earned over Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) 3. month from the time they started to get business for this Company. Of course. these men are hustlers, and are well equipped in every way, possess- lng_even small motor cars to cover the territory more rapidly. We understand, ‘however, that any man who has real ability in this line could do as well. One of the reasons for the success of National Life agents is the splendid standing of the. Company which is shown .in their advertisement elsewhere in this paper. If it has ever occurred to you to take up the Life Insurance business you cannot make arrangements with an easier Company to secure business for ithan the National Life. And they need ian Agent right in this territory.

It’s no trouble to find trouble. Everybody knows that other peo- ple make mistakes. Every man 011 the job thinks he knows more than the boss. Some people tell the truth merely for the sake of stirring up trouble; If it wasn‘t for their famous wives niany men would never be heard 0 . A woman laughs most heartily at a story of which she fails to see the point. It’s dead easy to be an optimist when only the good things of life are coming your way. Many a man will devour a girl with kisses only to find after mar- riage that she disagrees with him. If in hot water, take comfort from the thought that you will soon, like an egg, get hardened to it. A married man should come home early at least one night each week â€"just to show his wife that he can do it. What surprises a woman is not how beautiful her children are, but how much more beautiful they are than anybody else’s.

The perambulating restaurant is the latest novelty of the Paris streets. It owes its inception to a restauranter who observed that there were daily large numbers of clerks, artisans, and workmen who have no time to go out to lunch at a restaurant. The caterer has bought a mule and a small van, in which is fitted a kitchen range with several hot dishes all ready, and sends it out along the streets in charge of a cook. A horn announces the presence of the van to the peo- ple, who come out and are handed on hot plates a portion of roast meat or other dish, with vegetables, cheese, and dessert. The scheme is a great success, and the caterer is doing a large business. u}: inflammation, resulting in dy- ’sentery and cholera morbus.

At St. Pancras, in England, there 15 a school where fathers are taught to take care of the house and the . children in anticipation of the time when Women go out to do the work and men must sit at home and mind the house. There used to be a time when a man out of a job would have to let his wife go out and do washing or cleaning, and when she came home at night she would have to get her own house in order. Now the men will be expected to do that for their wives. The course in housekeeping will also be of bene- fit to men whose wives are sick 0) absent. n Mother Graves’ Worm Extermin- ator does not reuire the help of any purgativc medicine to complete the cure.

Katie, who had been taught that the Devil tempts little girls to dis- obey, was left alone in a room for a time one day with the admonition not to touch a particular delicious plate of fruit that stood on the table. . For awhile she bravely withstood the temptation. Finally, however, her resolution wavered and she took a big red apple from the plate. She walked away with it, but beâ€" fore putting it to her lips her cour- age returned and she quickly reâ€" placed the apple on the plate, saying as she did so, “Aha!
