This Eighteenth Century Mechanical Wlsard Produced Clockwork That Performed Wonders and Figures That Seemed Akin to Llfe. Few persons in the mechanical wo have not beard of the automatons the famous Neuchatel mechaulc•iun the eighteenth century. Most peop would not know where to find autom tons of Jaquet-Droz. They are said be In Russia, in England and seattere here and there throughout the wor But the most remarkable of these ma terpieces are in the possession of He ri Martin of Dresden. where they a the admiration of all those who hnpp to visit Dresden and are able to exu ine them. Acrorihrg to the Inform tion kindly furnished to us by M Martin, the automatons are in g condition and work as well as at th time when Jaquet-Droz exhibited the to the sovereigns of France, Spain a England, though now they must be put In operation by hand. One of this wonderful man's clocks went fur a very long time without be- ing rewound. This kind of perpetual movement was produced by different metals expanding and contracting at the same temperature. Another clock, without bein# touched, answered the question, -What time is it?" It must be presumed that the breath of the questioner was sufficient by a delicate combination to put the mechanism in movement. Still another exhibited the hours, the minutes and the seconds, the center of the dial indicating the course of the, sun through the zodiac and the four seasons and the different phases of the moon in perfect accord with its evolution. The dial was lighted at the time of the full moon, and the stars appeared and disappeared at the required in- tervals. This artificial firmament was covered with clouds if the weather was unpleasant or lighted if it was clear. As soon as the hour was struck a chime was heard. It played nine dif- ferent melodies, to which an echo re- sponded. A lady seated in a balcony, holding a book in her hand, accompa- nied the music with gesture and look, from time to time took a pinch of snuff and bowed to those who opened the glass door of the clock. When the chiming was ended a canary, standing on the hand of a child, whose gestures expressed admiration, sang eight dif- ferent airs. A shepherd came in his tart and played on the flute, and two children danced around. Suddenly one of the children threw himself on the floor in order to make the other lose his balance and then turned toward the spectators, pointing at his companion with his finger. Near the shepherd a lamb bleated from time to time, and a • dog approached his master to caress hint and to watch over a basket of ap- ples. If auy one touched the fruit he would bark until it was put back in its place. He presented one of his clocks to King Ferdinand VI., who was so de- lighted that he reftinded the expenses of the journey and paid in addition 500 louts d'er. The king assembled his courtiers in order to show them bis ac- quisition. Among the automatons was a clock with a shepherd playing on his flute and a dog guarding a basket of fruit. . Jaquet-Droz went over to England. He plated the draftsman before the king, and soon the hands of the au- tomaton were actively at work, but the surprise of those present was boundless when they beheld not the !mage of the king of France, which they had expected, but that of the Eng- lish monarch. Of course the portraits were not finished productions, but pre- seuted a general resemblan ce. rld The draftsman of Jaquet-Droz was of not, however, the most remarkable of ee the works created by the inexhausti• le ble genius of this artist. Let oue judge s- from the writer, seated before an iso - to rated desk-, without contact with any d person. He would dip his pen in the Inkstandanti write, without dictation. Ids slowly, it is true, but distinctly and s- correctly. n- Each word occupied a suitable place re at the desired distance trove the pre- en ceding. When a llue was finished be m- a- r. ood m fid "The dog." said Jaquet-Droz, "Is as faithful as he is well behaved. Let your majesty put him to the proof by touching one of the fruits in the bass ket." The king endeavored to take an apple, but the dog immediately threw himself on his hand, barking so nat- urally that a hound present in the room responded with all his strength. The courtiers thought that sorcery was at work and fled precipitately, making the sign of the cross. The king and the minister of marine were the only ones to remain. The latter asked tee shepherd what time it was. As he did not answer Jaquet-Droz remarked smilingly that he probably did not understand Span- ish and begged his excellency to ad- dress him in French. The question was repeated In that language, and the shepherd replied immediately. The minister was frightened, and he, too, hurried away. In consequence of this seance the Neuchatel artist, fearing that be might. be arrested by the in- quisition and burned as a sorcerer, begged the king to invite the grand inquiaitor to be present. Jaquet-Droz took the clock apart in his presence piece by piece, shoaling him all the springs and explaining to him the ac- tion of the train. Probably the in- quisitor understood little or nothing of the matter. Nevertheless he announc- ed the fact publicly that he discovered no magic and that the mechanism was moved entirely by natural means. Three of these automatons, whose perfection exceeded anything which had ever been known in this class of work, are the young musician, the draftsman and the writer. A young woman, seated at the harpsichord, ex- ecuted several pieces of music with dexterity without any person touching the instrument. The draftsman, seat- ed on a stool, made drawings with a pencil, sketched them correctly and then shaded them. From time to time he raised his band to examine his work the better, corrected some defect and blew the dust from the paper. Henri Louis, having gone to Versailles, exhibited his automatons to the king. The draftsman, to the amazement of the whole court, sketched the portrait of the French king with. a laurel srmilt_en. his head. eenumenced a new one, leaving between them the necessary space. The move- ments of the eyes and of the arms and hands were admirably imitated. The writer might even be interrupted. He stopped in the middle of a word if asked and wrote another. The means used by Jaquet-Droz for securing this result have remained un- known. The courtiers, scientists and the most skillful mechanicians have vai-tiy sought to penetrate the rays- tery. It is needless to say that the writ- er performed ouly iu the preseuce of Jaquet-Droz, which involves the idea of some action exercised by this artist. It has been supposed that he made use of a magnet concealed in his shoes or clothing. This idea was suggested by his habit of walking back and forth and turning sometimes to one side and sometimes to the other while the au- tomaton was writing, thus perhaps be- ing able to attract the hook toward the wheel with the aid of a magnet and cause it to return by the same force. The lords of the court endeavored by means of other magnets of great power concealed in their clothing- to disturb the working of the apparatus by their attitudes and movements, but in vain. The automaton wrote with the same accuracy. The writer is still in exist- ence. 1t continues towrite provided the hook and the wheel are kept in ac- tion by the hand. The motive force used by the artist is a secret which un- fortunately has been buried with him. -Scientific American. THE SILVER STATUE. A Strange Story of Odd Happenings In a H,.hemlan {'rimae. U. de Blowitz in his memoirs men- tioned this little story of his birth- place, the quaint little country village of Grunberg, au out of the world nook in Bohemia. The church, a poor mod- est affair, possesses a life size statue of St. John in massive silver. Curiously enough, the statue has only one arm; hence this strange incident. The statue bad been stolen and recovered as if by a miracle by the falling of a priest's cross during a procession of lamenta- tion into a deep pool, where in recov- ering the cross they found the statue. The thieves had hidden the latter, but bad taken away one of the arras. As tate sacred burden was taken back Into the church the archway over the door gave way and fell straight on the shoulder of a peasant, the last person in the procession, and cut off his left arm. The crowd immediately sur- rounded the wretched. man, yelling: "He's the thief! He's the thief! St. John has punished him by cutting off his arm!" There was a terrible mob from all sides. The people attacked the peasant, and in u minute his clothes were all in shreds. They were about to drag him along and hurl him into the pool without having asked him a question and without even hesitating as to whether or not be was the real author of the theft when the old priest interfered. "I alone have the right to command here," he said. "Do not touch that man." The crowd fell back a little, and the priest went on speakeg. "Yon are in my church," he said, ad- dressing himself to the peasant, "and this is an inviolable and sacred place. No one has a right to touch you here. Stay Inside the church, and do not leave it, for once outside you belong to human justice." And the mutilated peasant remained there. "He was in the church all day and all night," continues M. de Blowitz, and he was still there the following day when I left Grunberg.

Why Is it that the legitimate conver- sations of our associates, to which we have harkened from the beginning and which we nre predestined to follow slackly to the end, should so often fall to interest us, whereas the interrupted remarks we overhear and which were never meant for our ears, fill us with the liveliest curiosity and concern? The breaking off of a serial story is a trial to most men's minds. But we know that another month will bring another number. The inevitable breaking off of a causerie in which we have uo there tills us with a sense of bopelese and irrttnedinble loss. 1 once over- heard au old English lady say, with slow emphasis• to a friend: "It Is a charming book, a charming book. It le Just the ktml of n hook you would want to give to your dressmaker." And for fifteen years 1 have speculated in rain as to what that volume was. Apart froin the manifest indiscretion of giving any book to one dressmaker and thus withdrawing her att 'Ilion from one's clothes, the only ar tropri• ate literature 1 can think of is the in- structive history of Ananias and Sap- phire, and that has ceased to charm. A man waiting patiently at the glove counter of a New York department store hear} one young shopwoman say to another as she handed down a box of gloves, "Maria told him downright she'd have nothing more to do with him, and she called him a poison faced adder, he gripped her In the waltz thaLscandnlons." This was all! Customers clamored for attention, and the confidence ceased at this point. But the force and rich- ness of the language, the liveliness of the allusion, captivated the hearer's soil'. He confessed that for years aft- erward, when tie was waltzing• with decorous reluctance under the compel- ling eye of his hostess, memories of Ma- ria's partner would assail him and he would lima himself envying the adder the mysterious nature of his enthuse asw. It sometimes happens that fortune favors us beyond our deserts or our de- sires, and the conversation to which we bare no right to listen, but which we cannot well help hearing, goes on as tranquilly in a railway carriage or on a steamer deck as though we were not in close and helpless proximity. English travelers are particularly ex- haustive in their confidences and par- ticularly indifferent to their surround- ings. In one hour on a Como boat I have teamed a whole family history, hull of purely domestii,r features -how Dan had been sent to school at Lau- sanne because be was so troublesome and the school so cheap, and how Con- nie (a sister -In-law, I think) made the "castle" a most unpleasant place of residence. :and how Laura, with her three children, came to stay a week just when granny was dying, which was, to Fay tine least. inconvenient, and how the trouble between Harold and his wife Ins entirely in the bringing up of the children. At this point the de- tails betaine ton intimate for repeti- tion, thouuh there was no question of withholding theta from my ears. I felt like a fellow eountryman who once traveled from Bordeaux to Paris In the company of a young Englishwoman, her sister, nurse and child.

The Lamp Rock of Asia. On the shores of Lake Rangkul, in the Cashgar mountains, in central Asia, stands the famous Lamp rock of Asia- which is so called from a cave in its side from which a constant stream oil pale greenish light is emitted. Ney Elias, the English adventurer, who passed It in 1885, thinks it possible that the light is due to some phosphor- escent mineral in the sides of the cav- ern near its opening. The natives .of that section have never attempted to investigate the matter, each seeming content with the story told by his fa- ther, which is this: "The cave 1s the dwelling place of a demon, who guards vast treasures stored there, and the light is from a diamond worn In a band around his forehead." Elias' ex- planation of the mystery is probably the true one. A Chinese Wedding.

Three Articling That Will Subdue the Meet Savage Animal, There were trouble and excitement one day on a ranch in Colorado. A high spirited, half broken stallion was prancing about the yard attached to the rancher's house. He bad just thrown a cowboy who boasted there was nothing on four legs be could not ride, and he was rearing and bucking so that not even the pluckiest uutn on the raucb dared to approaeh. While the men were standing around wondering what td do the rancher's sixteen -year-old dapgbter carne out of the house and cultnj'1 walked up to the excited animal. Wbeu he saw her he ceased rearing, whinnied and stood Still. She just put her band on his mane, stroked his nose and then vaulted lightly} on his back and rode around the yard. to the amazement of the men. "How do yen manage It?" one of them asked it "Before you tackled him be was as savage as a tiger." "It is simple enough," the girl re. plied. "Any womap can handle a horse better than a man can. See tile" -showing the mama small round ob- ject she bad in her band -"this is horse castor. Horsell love the smell of it and will go up to auy one who has it.

When I got near him be smelled the musty horse castor in my clothes, for I always carry a little piece In my pocket. "That pleased him so much that F was able to stroke his head.

"With these three articles any horse can be tamed. Wbere do you get them? Well, the cumin apd rhodium can be bought at any drug store; the horse castor must be cut from a horse's fore- foot. It is a warty growth there." It is a fact that horses are very fond of these scents. They are often used' by women in the tropics and west in the training and braking of horses. - New York Commerical Advertiser. BRAHMAN PROiERBS. He that commttt;etht no call hall;,„ nothing to fear.

Millar with the article. I_The shillalah was much more in ev- idence iu the riotous days of old -the days pictured in the novels of Lever and Le Fauu and in the amusing if not too faithful pictures of Irish life drawn by Trench and other writers of the middle of the last century. Those were the days when taction fights flourished and the maxim "Whenever you see a bend hit it" was faithfully observed. Ft„nting was just "diversion." In days gone by Englishmen were just as ready and as expert at stick play as an Irishman is still supposed to be. The play with the cudgels was one of the oldest of English rural sports, the word "cudgel" itself being one of the oldest words In the language. At village sports, fairs and other occa- sions and places of merrymaking the cudgels once played a prominent part, and at times broken crowns were as common an accompaniment of village rejoicing as in any' Irish hamlet. The play with the quarterstail' was a sport of the same class, though - of course the quarterstaff was much longer than the cudgel and needed a peculiar kind of skill for its expert, use. In 1717 Lady Mary Wortley Montagu wrote of some- thing being as natural "as cudgel play- ing or football to our British swains." And much later Sir Waiter Scott in his younger days was an expert cudgel player. Football survives and flourishes more than ever, but combats with the quarterstaff and the old forms of curig- el play are about as extinct as the do. Any rough and tumble flghtin,, -with sticks, which may now take place on village greens bears little resem- blance to the old sport, which required great quickness of eye and the utmost dexterity of wrist. The Irishman's favorite stick was ennf ala a bbiekthornl-irt--Elifialal oak or ash was the wood most fr esteem. A provincial Englishman was as anx- ious to be expert with the cudgel as with his fist.

Daily, aye, thrice dgily-well, call it six, then -do I make burnt offering. Now, some use censers of clay; others employ censers of rare white earth finely carved and decked with silver and gold. My particular censer, as you see, is a plain honest brier, a root dug from the banks of the blue Garonne, whose only glory is 'its grain and color. The original tint, if you remember, was like that of new cut cedar, but use -I've been smoking this one only two years now - has given it gloss and depth of tone which puts the finest mahogany to shame. Let me rub it on my sleeve. Now look! The first whiff is the lnvoctitlon, the last the benediction. When you knock out the ashes you should feel conscious that you have done a good deed, that the offering has not been made in vain. Slave! Still that odious word? Well, have it your own way. Worshipers at every shrine have been thus persecut- ed. -Sewell Ford in Reader. The Word Anecdote. Anecdote, a word of Greek origin, means strictly "that which is not given out." In this sense it has been used to denote secret histories, or portions of ancient writings which have long remained in manuscript and are edited for the first time. Of such anecdote there are many collections. The earliest was probably Muratori's, in 1709. fol- lowed by Thesaurus Novas Anecdo- tornm, 1717, and Tbeaaurns Anecdo- torum Noviseimue, 1721. In its popular modern acceptation the , word is used of the relation of some single interesting and authentic inci- dent in private life. Of such there are voluminous collections, such as "The Percy Anecdotes," compiled by Clinton Robinson and Byerley, in 1820. Rr. Johnson said that collectors ars net always w happy as to select the most important anecdotes and that he knew not what estimate posterity could form of Addison from the record of his regular pulse! sesptelon. "I am a little bit afraid of her," said Miss Cayenne.

"Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive so and Igo years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive Deeds most. Scott's Emulsion is the mod. ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some- thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

It is believed that the Egyptians instructed the Is- raelites in the art of stone engraving. The Egyptians used the lapidary's wheel and emery powder and knew the use of the diamond in engraving other hard stones. Among the Assyrian and Babylonian ruins were found fine spec- imens of signets on gems, many of them set in rings, A Scheme That Failed.

Nowadays people with red hair are somewhat envied. It was not always so. In Egypt. for Instance, the auburn headed were regarded with aversion. The ancient Egyptians were so violent- ly opposed to hair of this tone that once a year they burned a maiden wbo possessed bright locks in the hope of exterminating or lessening what they considered curse. Sentiment aside, people of the auburn head type bare a vast advantage. They are less liable to baldness than those who own brown or black hair. The reason thereof is that one red hair is as thick as three dark hairs. With 70,000 red halm the 'scalp is well thatched. With the same number of dark hairs a person is almost bald. The average number of fllarnents that the brunette belle has to comb and brush is 102,000.

The music was greatly overstay his time at the offiee an Boer enjoyed, and all present had a de• or more lightful time. Some men have a really uncanny, power of guessing time. They do it ap- parently without the aid of natural ttrn- dications and by mean, of some inward monitor which goes on measuring of the hours like a chronometer. There are men who can onlinarlly guess the time within ten minutes at any hoot' of their waking tiny. It is suspected that such men rarely become deeply absorb- ed In their work, though the faculty often accompanies fine intellectual pow- er. A much rarer power than that of guessing the time at a given hour of the day is that of guessing the elaptaed time in short periods. Hardly one mean ten can canto within five minttteis of leasing the elapsed time In periods of less than half an hour and more then a quarter, and very few can tell with- in a minute when it period of ten min- utes has elapsed. The most difficult fent in time gutter Ing is to wake from a sound slterpo in the small hon i after having gww to bed before midnight and guess within half an hour of the time. Most per. sons, unaided by .naturnl indications, such as moonlight, the first signs of dawn in midsummer or the proton:id quiet of the house in winter, enamel under these conditions guess within two hours of the time. Persons ordinarily underestimate the roverbs time they have slept at night and over estimate the length of a daylight nap, The cat nap of two or three minute -s cp pears to most persons to have lasted from fifteen minutes to half an hour, In fact, some persons seem to get to sleep all over and through and through whenever they lose consclousnesa and are thus utterly oblivious of the flight of time, wklie others seem never, even at night, to be thoroughly saturated with sleep. Persons of the latter clear wake nt any moment of the night in al- most full possesalou of their faculties and can usually form a pretty good notion of the hour. Public speakers are proverbially bad guessers of the elapsed time when they speak extemporaneously. Clergymen. through habit, however, can guess pret- ty retty close as to the length of an extem- poraneous sermon. and the clergyman who preaches beyond his usual flat gets many hints that he is talking too long from the conduct of his hearers. When a preacher sees his usually witkes- tnl bearers nodding and the younger members of the congregation more than usually uneasy in their seats he knows that he has passed his usual limit Women and children are bad gutee- ere of time because they tend to be pre- occupied with the matter of the mo. ment, so that they are oblivious to all else. Men who have the habit of keep- ing their watches accurate and of not- ing the hour down to the very aeeood are amused to find that most women take no note of any period of time lege low a quarter of an hour. Nine worsen out of ten with a clock face in sight will fail to note the time within five minutes. It !s the eternal puzzle of the man with a keen sense for time that many women and some men seem to believe that time has a way of panning in its flight Such men and women after in- quiriag the time will report it the Bowe ten minutes later and will resent with an injured air the suggestion that alae hour cannot be exactly the same that It wee ten minutes before. -New York Times.

The Reply That Bismarck hale to an Admirable Speech, I like to think of old Bismarck as he sat by the window that opens on the windy park of Friedrlchsruh in an old gray shooting jacket, a rug over his knees, a pipe in his band, simple as a north German farmer, this man who bad almost held Europe in fee. A little while before this February day be bad been deposed from power. All the world knew that the old lion was sulking in his den in no amiable mood toward the young emperor who had turned him out of doors. It was known that his memoirs were written and that bis correspondence was set in order. A New York publisher thought he might secure the papers in which Bismarck had told the real story of the birth of the German empire -that strange story of craft and heroism, lit- tleuess and grandeur. It was on this mission that I sailed for Hamburg. I had two letters for Bismarck. One was from a negligible ambassador. The other had been given me by a Ger- 'man statesman of some note with whom in other days I had been a stu- dent in the University of Jena. My friend had been a familiar of Bis- marck's household and bespoke me a kindly bearing. I sent the letters on from Hamburg and followed the next day. On the table at his elbow as he sat by the window I noticed my letters. The valet who had placed a chair for me took his stand by the door. I said what I had to say. It was (permit me to affirm it) an admirable speech. For ten days and nights I had rehearsed it as I paced the deck of the stormy liner, so in tolerable German I declaimed it It was dignified; it was diplomatic. When I had finished Bismarck took the pipe from his lips, said "Nein" and put the pipe back again. 'Twas the shortest answer I ever had in my life. I waited for a moment. The old man smoked and stared out into the park. I got up and bowed. I bad rehearsed that bow and did not in- tend to waste it. I bowed to his old hairless head, the flabby yellow jowls and big mustache, to the old gray jacket and the pipe. It was like sa- laaming to a stone wall. Then the valet led me out.

When the Switz City division of the Illinois Central was built It was known as the Indiana and Illinois Southern. It wail a narrow gauge road. the road- bed was bad, the engines and cars were built on a miniature scale, and, while there was a schedule, bad a train been on time the fact would have been regarded as a miracle. The road was known as the 'Try -Weakly." On one occasion Joetah McConnell desired to go to Switz City from Sulli- van, but missed the train by a minute or two. The clock at the station show- ed that the train had left Sullivan five minutes ahead of time, and McConnell sued the railroad company for $5,000 damages. On a trial of the case it was proveQ beyond a doubt that the train McConnell missed should have gone the day before and was really twenty-three hours and fifty-five min- utes late --Indianapolis News. Covering Books. To cover paper bound books take two pieces of cardboard a tiny bit larger than book. Paste fly leaves at front and back to cardboard, which of course Is outside. Then take a strip of strong cotton cloth; paste it down back of book; have it wide, so it will cover about one inch of each piece of card- board, thereby joining the two pieces together. Now put a cover of brown paper over all, pasting securely, and your decorated cover goes over this. The books may be covered with deco- rated silk, pique or duck 1f you paint or embroider, but the simplest way 1s to cover with tissue paper (not crape), Paste a pretty card on the front and after cutting title and author's name from old cover arrange them prettily on the new one, Randolph them..

It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to,it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat- ment. We will send you the penny, 1. e., a sample free.

Relieves Pain Quicker than Drugs. "In recent years considerable light has been thrown on the disease (consumption), and under favorable conditions the trouble has been successfully treated. Cures 280 have been reported as a result of the 'violet ray' treatment which was discovered only a short time ago by Dr. Finsen, of Copenhagen..-JMrnneapolt, Daily Times." It will be seen by the above from The Dally Times, that the world is beginning to accept the fact that consumption is no longer considered an incurable disease. 20 Cures are also reported as a result of the "condensed ray" treatment discovered by 1)r. Rogers, of Seattle, Wash., about three years ago. since which the Dr. has had time to thoroughly test the merits of his discovery. Out of 117 cases treated over 200 (30 were entirely cured, while pearly every one was notably affected by the first treatment. Rut unlike ttie Finsen treatment it isnot confined to a certain clays of cases, but 000 is equally successful in most if not all other forms of disease such as cancer, diabetic, sla►ica, all forms of skin disease, rheumatism. neuralgia, asthma, goitre, catarrh. liver, kidney, stomach. and bowel trouble, and that meat common of all troubles the headache is relieved in three minutes.

A WHISTLER PICTURE. The Dramatic 51.unrr, of It. Misi.h and an Anticlimax. Whistler was one day visited by a foreign artist, au old acquaintance, with whom Whistler had not as yet quarreled He was received with gen- uine cordiality, and. artiet-like, he ran round the studio looking at everything. Oue small picture seemed to chum him especially, and he said, "Now that is one of your good ones." "Don't look at it, dear boy," said Whistler airily, "It's not finished." "Finished!" said the visitor. "Why, it 1s the most carefully finished picture of yours that I have ever seen." "Dou't look at It!" per- sisted Whistler. "You are doing in- justice to yourself, you are doing in- justice to my picture, and you are do- ing injustice to mei" The visitor looked bewildered, when Whistler, in a the- atrical tone, cried out: "Stop! 1'11 finish it now!' Then be procured a very small camel's hair brush, fixed it on a tang and slender handle, mixed a little speck of paint On ids palette, dipped the tip of his brush into it, and then, standing off from his picture and with the action of a fencer with his rapier, he lunged forward and touched the picture in one spot with his pigment "Now it's dnished," said he. "Now you may look at it" This was all highly dramatic, and indeed very well acted, but, as in the case of some stage plays, the final act of Whistler's performance proved to be an anticlimax. The for- eign artist took his leave, but, finding that be hau left his umbrella behind him, called for it next day. The serv- ant, recognising him, told him that Mr. Whistler bad gone out for the day, but invited him to go to the studio and seek his umbrella. He went there and found it; but also took the opportunity of having one more look at the picture which bad been "finished" for his spe- cial benefit the day before, and then he saw that the little dab of wet paint which Whistler had so dramatically put on he had afterward scrupulously wiped off again!—Frederick Keppel in The Reader.

The oxygen of the air we breathe regulates the appetite as well as the nutriment that le built ftp in the system. The safest and best way to avoid colds is to sleep in s room with the windows wide open and to reruain out of doors every day, no matter what may be the weather, for at least two hours, preferably with stele kind of exercise, if no more than walking. One should not sit down to rest while the feet are wet or the clothing damp. A. person may go with the clothing wet through to the skin all day If he but keeps moving. Exercise keeps up the circulation and prevents taking cold. The physiologic care of void. IS the prevention of the occurrence.

Poisonous and Haranaeea Slsakee, There is a certain physiological dif- ference between the po eonous and harmless snakes which exists very plainly in their manner of dentition. All snakes are objects of aversion and dread to mankind, so much so that to be bitten by a snake has at times been so fearful to the victim es to have pro- duced death although the snake was harmless. Such is the Instinctive dread with which these reptile* are thought of that it may be desirable to have some easy mode of dIstifgnlslling the one kind from tbe other, This diatin- guishing characteristic is afforded by the teeth. in all potsonous snakes there are only two rows of teeth, the fang or fangs being arranged either within the two rows or outside of them. The harmless snukes have four distinct rows of teeth, and when the bite shows this kind of wound and not any single deeper or larger puncture there need be no apprebenalon. A Wager Lost.

Busineta In the store was at a standstill, and travel on the ,street was blocked. No explana- tion could appease the riving anger of that dark multitude. It was melons or a riot—melons or that unheard of thing, a colored landslide to the Democracy. Mr. Londoner was at his wits' ends. There were no melons 1n the market and none expected. Just as Londoner was preparing to abandon his store to the wrath of the justly incensed melon maniacs a car load of magnificent mel- ons dropped into one of the freight sidings, and Londoner and the Repub- lican pary were saved. Nobody ever knew how or w.bence that pink heart- ed manna came. The price was ex- orbitant, but that did not matter. Lon- doder paid it with the air of a man who bad ordered melons and was In- digent that the railway company had disappointed him in not delivering them the day before. There was not a crack in the solid black Republican column on election day. But Field was not through with Lon- doner. The colored brethren bad to bold their ratification meeting to in- dorse the Republican nominations and more especially to render thanks for the creation of watermelons and to the man who bad paid for them out of sea- son. Ofrise Mr. Londoner was In- vited to at end, and :when It came its tun] to address the meeting the chair- men, a colored deacon of the church where "Possum Jim" worshiped by the name of Williams, introduced him as follows: "1 now take great pleasure In Intro- ducing to you our friend and brother, the Hon.

A Cantons That Ha. Been Followed be Many Writers, Johnston told > Boswell once in the/ course of a conversation, in which be praised the "Anatomy," that a man, if inciined to' melancholy, should have a lamp constantly burning in his bed - "chamber during the night "and if wake- fully disturbed take a book and read and compose himself to rest" There can be little doubt that in thus 'indi- rating an appropriate course for any one afflicted with "constitutional mel- ancholy" — his own trouble— be wase stating his own practice. Many a book the wakeful doctor must, have turned over in the silences of the night, and this increases the wonder that a desire to. read any pnrtiular work should take him out of bed unusually early. Gray must surely bare been a reader in bed. A man who wished to be for- ever lying on sofas, reading "eternal new novels of Crebillou and Mari- Taux," must have been familiar with the faces of his favorites in the night hours. Elijah Fenton, a now forgotten ooadJtitoy of Pope, was accustomed to lie abed at hie lodgings, we are told, and be fed with a spoon, but Gray's love of ease was not of this type. Gray was a boo, noo probably havekmanindulagedd Inmoat thebhabitkmenf o trading in bed. Lamb apostrophized his folios as "my midnight darlings," but those "huge armfuls," as he calls them, were not bedside books. They were the companions of the long hours of candlelight in the back room of the quiet little "gambogiab colored" house beside the Chase at Enfield. Wycher- ley, one of the "artificial" dramatists for whom Lamb wrote a quaint de - tense, made a habit of reading himself to sleep. Nightly be shared his pillow with his favorite authors—Seneca, Montaigne and Rochefoucauld—and in the mornings made a practice of writ- ing on those subjects which had caught his attention during the precious night's reading, with the curious though not unnatural result, as Pope has testified, that his writing was un- consciously a mem echo of his reading. Somewhat later, when Grub street flourished, if so inappropriate a verb may be allowed, many a poor wretch of a hack author was glad to write as well as to read in bed for the all suffi- cient reason that seemly clothes were tacking for going abroad.—London Globe. EPIGRAMS OF NOVELISTS, One crawls into friendship, one occa- sionally drifts into matrimony, but in love one falls.—Frankfort Moore. There is no place like the top, tense - daily when it is narrow and will not hold many at a time.—Anthony Hope. Love and friendship are stronger than charity and politeness, and those who trade upon the latter are rarely accorded the former.—Seton Merriman. It is the American's regret that at present be can do nothing with his feet while he is listening at the telephone, but doubtless some employment will be found for them In the coming age.—Ian Maclaren. There are two unpardonable sins in this world, success and failure. Those who succeed can't forgive a fellow for bging a failure and those who fall can't forgive him for being a success.— G. H. Lorimer. There are two classes of people in the world, the people who are clever and the people who are keen, and you must never mix the two. They meet and touch, they are necessary to each otber, but they never, never blend.—Kather- ine Cecil Thurston. Her Coat.. of Aram. Concerning n very modish woman the late Julian Itix, painter and critic, had tbis story to tell: "Mr. Rix, I've come to ask you a great favor." she said as she fairly burst into his studio one fall day. "Everything i have is at your com- mand. madam." "I want to show you some coats of arms and ask your atilvlce about mak- ing a choice." Which side of the family do you wish to follow, maternal or"— "Oh, neither! The herald says I can choose any of these. I want something that will look well on whist counters." "Yee. Well, what about this?" "That will do nicely. But don't you think I ought to have more than one? I do tire so quickly of things, you know."—New York Times. Gaal. In England. Canals in England date back to an early period, for the Romans built two In Lincolnshire—the Foss dike, forty miles long and still navigable, and the Caer dike. The fret British made ca- nal was constructed in 1184 by Henry I. and joined the Trent to the Witham, It was toward the end of the eight- eenth century that the greatest amount of energy was expended in the bundtng of canals, mainly due to the Duke of Bridgewater and the skill of his en- gineer, James Brindley.

The musician com- piled, but during the performance the tsar Stalled a conversation with an aid-de-camp. Lfazt stopped playing at once. The czar asked what was fhb matter. "When the emperor speaks,", said Liszt, "every one must be silent"' The czar smilingly ,took the hint. and the playing proceeded,.

Cummins, of Iowa, the morning after the fatal accident: I scarcely ever knew a man who im- pressed me more favorably. He was our mainstay in 411 the work of capitol im- provement and when the fire broke out yesterday we all turned to him for advice. He was the coolest and most thoughtful man in the building. It was pr- bably due to his foresight and personal heroism that the state house was saved. He dis- covered that two huge doors in the fire wall were opened. The smoke was so dense that one took his life in his hands to attempt to close the doors. Linley headed a chain of men. who holding to each other. groped their way through the smoke and succeeded in closing the doors. After this he went with me through the building and seemed to have the best con- ception of any one as to the real extent of the damage. I appointed him chief of the men engaged in the work of rescue and fire fighting, and he did his work well. He was one of those men one feels . intui- tively he can trust and' respect. When the executive council met last night and when we talked matters over again this morning, it was Linley that was our chief reliance and it was he whom we directed to supervise the repairs for an estimate of the amount of damage and what would be necessary to repair it; also what tem- porary or improvised arrangements could be made for making the house chamber habitable.

Obstinate cases of malaria that have withstood the ocean voyages, mountain heights and quinine dosing are said to have been conquered by systematic and continued walking. \\'hat the malarial patteut wants most to do is to sit in- doors, nurse his aches and pains or to Ile down and doze. , Advocates of the walling cure maintain that fresh air 1s an antidote not only to the malaria it- self, but to the blues, which usually accompanies it. Their advice to the sufferer is to dress up warmly if the weather is damp or rainy and go out to walk. Wear flannel next to the skin, stout shoes and simple hat. If it it warm, dress lightly, but carry a wrap to throw around the shoulders against drafts and too rapid cooling off. When one comes to thick of it, there are few maladies on earth that fresh air and moderate exercise are not good for.

In the rear of the Mr. William L. Remington, th e'irvivor of the original firm, sa roll top desk in his private office. Dignified, gray haired and s was Mr. Remington, and he 1 thoughtful as he leaned back i revolving chair and tapped the of his desk with a square envelo rough blue paper. The envelope tained an invitation to a reeept be given by Mrs. Eleanor Chase widow of one of the former pa of the house and a society woman. Mr. Remington was not a so man, and it was of his son Jack, • twenty-two, that he thought as h gered the envelope and of Ele Chase's daughter Nancy. He rose, opened a door which 1 to the main part of the store threading the maze of aisles, mad way to the silk counter. There s Jack, who was working his through the various departments of business, devoting the charms of personality to the display of a ro silk to one of a crowd of well dre women. Mr. Remington looked on appro ly as his handsome son concluded gottations with the woman, took a from her and, incloslug it In n 1 nickel plated case, placed It In the ceptacle of the cash carrier.

As Jack turned to another custo bis father waited; then, recogniz the purchaser of the silk, be step forward and engaged her in conve tion. Presently the nickel plated case a back over the carrier and drop with an assertive click into its recep cele. Mr. Remington released it, reli ed it of its contents and, with a b "I'll give Mrs. Waldron her cban Jack." which received an answer nod from the young man, handed money to the woman, But Remington senior did not gi ' her all that the case contained. withheld a small piece of folded wb paper. which he regarded idly for moment. then opened.

Tben be looked at his so who was talking animatedly. Tben refolded the paper carefully, placed Ls his vest pocket and walked slow away. He went to another part of th store. from which he could get a vi of the cashier's post, and looked up. There among the converging wire of the cash carrier was a high des and over its top protruded a head wavy brown hair, and occasionally Rs owner reached for the metal cas Mr. Remington caught sight of th pretty. refined face of Gertrude Terry his cashier. The old gentleman watched the gi for awhile, then went to his privet office and again seated himself at hi 'desk. He drew the piece of whit paper from his pocket and looked a It thoughtfully. Tben be turned hi attention to the sl;uare, blue envelop which contained Mrs. Chase's invite tion and glanced from one to the othe as though weighing in his mind th value of each. Perhaps the memory of his own mar riled life, spent with a woman of ciety, whose tastes and temperamen were at variance with his own, pass in mental review. The many night he had sat at his lonely fireside wbil his wife was attending functions t which be had little inclination to follo her may have intruded themselves o his reflections. Whatever his thought —and they contained no bitterness fo the woman who was gone—he kep them to himself. He did not say anything to Jack wben they left the store together ex- cept to tell him that he had someypri- vete business to attend to and might be late for their 7 o'clock dinner. Then he gave the driver of bis coupe an ad- dress and presently alighted at a small frame house. His ring was answered by a gray haired old man Nebo walked with diffi- culty. He seemed greatly surprised to see Mr. Remington. When the latter was seated in the little parlor he re- garded the invalid with kindly interest. "Well, Max, I am sorry that time has not dealt better with you." be said at last "It's a long cry back to our col- lege days. isn't it?" Old Max Terry sank painfully into a chair. "The last time you were in this louse," he answered slowly, "was to Ittend my wife's funeral. No; time has not been overgood to me, but I don't complain." "1 want you to tell me of her," said Remington, and he drew his cashier's father on to talk of the mother and wife. The rich old merchant listened thoughtfully while Max Terry told of years spent in perfect companionship, fears during which his ambition to be- come a great musician had slowly suf- fered collanse, but which bad beefs lightened and beautified by the syrups - ),1.y of a devoted, loving woman whose out was attuned to his.

She stopped abruptly when she saw the visitor. "I have been telling Mr. Remington about your mother," Max Terry said, smiling at the girl. "Did he call to ask about her?" she inquired. "I called for a purpose of my own," said Remington, advancing toward her. "I accidentally received this note from the cash carrier this afternoon." And he produced the bit of white paper. The girl was pale, but she regarded him unflinchingly, "I suppose you think it Is very wrong of me to love Jack," she said. "No, but I think it would have been better for him to have told me about the affair." "I would not let him, and I have been trying to tela blm that he must not see ale again." Mr. Remington smiled, "You took it for granted that I should not want an unofficial partner in my family who was brave and womanly merely be- cause she happened to be poor," he said softly, taking her hand. The next morning Chase, Reming- ton, Bentley & Co. was crowded as usual when Jack pulled a stip of white paper from the metal messenger of the cash carrier. The message, which was in bis father's handwriting, was as follows: "Miss Terry will soon leave the em- ploy of this firm." Jack leaped over the silk counter and hurried to his father's private of- fice. The room was empty, but In a moment Gertnhde and Mr. Remington entered. Jack angrily handed the note to his father, "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, Mr. Remington looked at the paper complacently, "It means," he said, "that I think my future daughter-in- law should have time to prepare for her wedding." Jack leaned against the roll top desk in ss ondermeut, while Gertrude read the note. "If I had known what was in it I should not have sent It," she said, with a reproachful smile at the elder Remington. "Is that your idea of breaking the news properly?" "No," answered the old gentleman, "but I did not like to spoil the record that cash carrier has for revealing the unexpected," Traveling. by Map. The experiences of Captain Joseph La Barge, as told in "The History of Early Steamboat Navigation on the Missouri Riser," Includes this story: Captain La Barge was a pilot and Indian trader for fifty eventful years, and on one of his trips up the river he had n party of Englishmen aboard. They bad a map and applied them- selves industriously to the business of identifying the various places on it with those along their route. They were in the pilot house a good deal, and one of them was inclined to instruct in the geography of the country the vet- eran pilot, who had spent all his life on or near the river, "What place 19 this that we are ap- proaching, Mr. Pilot?" he asked. "St. Charles, sir," La Barge replied. "You are mistaken, sir. According to the map, K is —," La Barge made no reply. He stopped as usual at St. Charles and tben went his way. Presently they came to an- other village. "What place, captain?" inquired the Englishman, "Washington, Mo., sir." "Wrong again. The map gives this place as --," This experience was repeated sev- eral times, the captain's temper be- coming more ruffled witb each repeti- tion. Presently a flock of wild geese passed over the river. The English- men were standing on the hurricane roof in front of the pilot house, "What kind of birds are those, cap- tain?" asked one of them in eager haste. The captain, whose language still showed something of his French origin, replied: "Look at your map. He tell you,,, Bought Art to Destroy It. The attendants in the art gallery of a department store en Brooklyn were startled the other day to see a man de- liberately destroy two pictures that he had just purchased at a cost of $47. The man is wealthy and alms to have a collection of art objects that have no duplicates. He had purchased In the art gallery that was the scene of bis vandalism a painting for which he paid $1,000- Alter it was sent home he was showing it to a friend, who, know- ing the collector's weakness, told him he had seen two reproductions of the painting in the same gallery, one priced at $35, the other at $12. "Go and buy them for me," said the collector, "and when you get them break them up. I'll give you a check for $1' before you go home." Tile friend declined the task; so the selleetor went to the store himself, pointed out the two pictures, and atter he had paid for them destroyed them on the spot. This same man ordered a table with a carved top, for which he paid $900, and after it had been finished he went to the artist who bad designed It and stood by him while he destroyed the original drawing for the table. That was a part of the contract, and he meant to see it carried out.—New York Press. A Cu,utlnuons Smoke. In the Philippines the use of tobaedbu is universal.

SAMURAI AND JIU-JITSU. The )lost Wonderful System of Mb. lades la the W.srld. More than 2,500 years ago there' sprang into existence In Japan an or- der of knights who were known as the samurnl. To them was imparted all the learning, the polite breeding and the forms of superiority that mark the gentleman. They were skilled in arms and versed in the arts of war, for they were the emperor's fighting men, and none but they were allowed to bear arms. As there could not always be war ou band, and as It Was considered be- neath the dignity of the samurai to go luto any ordinary callings, It came about naturally that these little knights found much idle time on their bands. Being men of war, they turned their attention to athletic feats. One among the samurai conceived the idea of learning by, practice the location of every sensitive nerve and muscle In the body. After that be dis- covered all the joints of the bones that could be seized In such a way as to give momentary power over the mus- cles of an adversary, He practiced with his fellow samurai, and thus by degrees was developed the most won- derful system of athletics known in the world. The Japanese call this work jiu-jitsu- The deft pressures applied In the prac- tice of jiu-jitsu produce only momen- tary pain, but do not really injure the muscles or nerves. In all other things the Japanese are the most polite peo- ple in the world. So It follows that even In their fighting they have de- veloped a humane yet effective method of self defense. They do not strikeout with the clinched fist and seek to bruise, as do the Anglo-Saxons In their boting contests. A knowledge of jiu-jltsu enables one almost instantly to convluce bis op uent that It is useless to fight. There are now schools of jiu-jitsu everywhere in Japan. Every soldier, sailor and policeman 1e obliged to perfect himself in the system. A Japanese policeman, possessed of the art, has been known aingle handed to reduee to submission and to take to the police station four sturdy sailors of a foreign Asiatic squadron,—St Nicholas, A FEW HOGS.

A bog Is a person who "breaks In" while you are negotiating in a store and takes the attention of the salesman or saleswoman away from you.

Danger Crier Of Birda. The approach of danger Is expressed by a universally intelligible cry. The blue tit has a peculiar sound, "iss," so indicative of tear and terror that when heard the wood is silent In an Instant. It is Bald that abe often utters it from pure love of mischief, "Every bird," says Bechsteln, "has received from nature the power of ut- tering a song or certain sound by which it can communicate Ite desires to otter binds. The chaffinch's call varies with Its feelings, When on the wing it is 'Eyak! Eyak!' Its expression of Joy is 'Fink! Fink!' If angry, it makes the same call more quickly, and 'Trlef! Trlef!' Is n sign of tenderness or mel- ancholy. The raven calls out 'Great)! Graab!' slowly or rapidly, as lee emo- tions change." The Way of the World. When Thackeray was In this country he called on General Scott, full of ad- miration for his remarkable campaign in Mexico and eager to hear the war- rior explain bow battles were fought and tlelds were won. "Well, now you know all about It," remarked a friend as the novelist returned from a two hours' tete-a-tete wltb the soldier. "Not at all," replied Thackeray, with a twinkle In his eye. "The general takes no Interest In strategy. I found that literature was his forte." Mark Twain Missed the Boat. The success achieved by Mark Twain during his boating days on the Missis- sippi river was due not only to the fact that he was a skillful pilot, but that he was an earnest one as well. A man who knew Mr, Clemens In those days told how the genial humorist once missed his boat.

A company has been incorporated at Albany for the purpose of Introducing on a large scale in tbls country what is known as a ferroconcrete construction, a system that has been extensively tried abroad, Principally In France, and by which entire bnlldlogs are erected of concrete strengthened with steel rods. Concrete has been long used at points where it would be subjected only to OONCIIXIM BaalI AND mance. strains of compression. It remained only for the Freucb engineers to devise some scheme by which 1t could be re - enforced for resisting tensile stresses in order that it might be available for all parts of a building. How the scheme has been worked out for what may be termed the two ele- ments in building construction, the col- umns and the beams, Is shown in the accompanying diagrams. in the beams the concrete is built up around steel rods, which are placed in such positions that they practically form a truss. The eu0cesatu1 operiltlon of this plan was In large measure dependent upon two facts—naruely, that steel and concrete expand and contract at almost exactly the same rate and also that a perfect bond exists between the two substances, the adherence being estimated at about 600 pounds per square Inch. The columns presented a mach less difficult problem and were formed by four or more rods connected at inter- vals by fiat bare or platen, the whole being imbedded in concrete. The tests to which structures erected on the ferroconcrete principle have been subjected hare been most severe. The application of the system to all types of structure Is seemingly without limit Factories, warehouses, hotels, theaters and office buildings are a few of the classes of stntctures in which the new steel and concrete construction has been used abroad. Piles hare also been built up on the same principle as columns and successfully driven, giv- ing great possibilities in the matter of dock and bridge building, A Wonderful Potato. The French ministry of agriculture has been informed that the experi- ments of the Marseilles Colonial insti- tute witb the Solanum eommersoni, the swamp land potato of Uruguay, have been most successful and that its cultivation on a Targe scale should be recommended. Here are some of the points in favor of the new food: It VOWS on any kind of soii; needs not to be planted every season, the roots re- maining In the ground sprouting with- out attendance in the spring; not af- fected by spring frosts nor by any of the diseases to which the ordinary po- tato is heir. The institute says the new foodstuff tastes like the ordinary potato, but is somewhat bitter. This detect, It Is thought, will be wiped out by cultivation. Roadside signals For Motorists. The American Motor league Is the latest body to establish a system of signals which are fixed by the roadside for the purpose of warning drivers. Nine signs are employed to illustrate steep descents, railroad crossings, branch roads to right or to left, cross- roads, depressions or ditches, bum - mocks and approaches to villages, and finally there Is a general caution sign for dangers not otherwise scheduled. These symbols are fixed at about 200 yards from the points they refer to and consist of single black figures on a White background. Tbe signs are of diamond shape nd are twenty-four Inches square, 1Bleetrlo Autos to Carry Mall. The United States government, says the Electrical Review, has derided to make use of electric automobiles to carry the United States mall in Phila- delphia. This service was Inaugurated on Nov. 1, and the tests made appear to prove conclusively that there will be a large saving both In time and obvton.ly- money over horse drawn vehicles, It Is thought that the introduction of the electric automobiles for the mail serv- ice in Philadelphia will be the forerun- ner of a universal adoption of electric delivery wagons for this service. i THIRD RAIL ELIMINATED, New Electrle Traction Tnatem in Which Power Gomes From Knobs, A young electrician of Philadelphia claims to have solved the problem of building an eleMrfe traction system in which o.1' he electric cur• rent arethe eliminateddangers, Whtile Ile Ihae utll- tzed all the principles of udurface co tact that the third rail affords, be h so isolated his points of contact as leave only sixteen feet of the roadw supplied with a curvetat and those at teen feet are always ender the ca When the ear leaves a contact poi that point becomes "dead." in an elaborate tetra et Atlantic Cl the system was demonstrated to skill electricians and raitt'tasat experts.

The car was ru over a converted track . that was but as a freight siding of the Pennsylvan railroad, A city street with the new road In- stalled presents an unbroken surface except that between the tracks at in- tervals qt sixteen feet small steel knobs protrude above the roadway, These are the points of contact end tiuppn' the current only when the vehicle Is direct- ly over them. At any other place 011 the road one may walk over them, stand on them or ev-e17 try to make a short circuit by piecing metal on the knob and on the rail without danger. Beneath the tracks the current is car - tied on inaniateti wires placed in con- dulta. There are two wires, one a feed wire and the other for the return cur- rent. Where the contact transmitter Is placed a water tight, air tight box is built. Inside this box, etlspendecl from Its roof, so to speak. Is a short section of steel pipe capped at each end with c'oPPer, This is placed transversely to the trend of the tracks, anti tbmugh 1t is led a short wire tapping the feed wire for current. This bit of pipe is eco elostily adjusted that it cannot be made to touch the up- per section of the box except through the device employed to bring it into that position. Brought to lite proper position, It charges the (remoubtting knob. Curried under the car is a double shoe. On each side are three itlg elec- tro magnets, with n llftil>g Dowler of thirty pounds each. Between the shoes is a metal spiral spring, laid loosely upon its side, like a bag snake, through which tihe contact with the pointe is made. -Whitman as a■ Editor, Whitman wrote on anything and ev erything, after the fashion of editors, sometimes with earnestness, sometimes with undisguised indifference, Here Is a sample of an occasional sort: "To cure the toothache plunge your feet iu cold water.

A TRUE GHOST STORY THE REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF BISHOP WILBERFORCE. Singular and important Discloaare Made by the Quiet Clerical Guest at an English Country House When Add d by the Bishop. The following remarkable incident in the life of the late Samuel Wilberforce, bishop of Oxford and afterward of Winchester, Is related as absolutely authentic, and the good bishop himself is said to have many times rehearsed the story to his friends: On a certain occasion the worthy bishop had accepted an invitation to stay at a country house not far from London. )tntering the drawing room previous to dinner on the evening of hie arrival, be noticed a priest, evident- ly of the Homan communion, sitting by the open fire and taking no part in the general conversation. The bishop was somewhat surprised at not being pre- sented to the priest, and, his astonish- ment was great when a few moments later dinner being announced the guests retired, leaving the priest at his place by We fire. The hostess having as- signed Bishop Wilberforce the seat of honor at her right band, as soon as an opportunity offered be remarked: "I beg your pardon, madam, but may 1 inquire who was the priest we left sitting apart in the drawing room?" "Ali, you have seen him, tile'?" re- plied the lady. "It Is not every one who has that privilege. 1 cannot tell you who he is or whence be comes For many years this specter has haunt- ed the house and grounds. It has, in fact, been a tradition In the family. Ile seems to do no harm, and, although he appears only occasionally, we have be come quite accustomed to our friendly ghost." "How very singular!" remarked his lordship. "But have you never ad- dressed your priestly specter?" "Indeed, I have bad no opportunity, nor the desire, for that matter," re- sponded the hostess, growing Pale, "May 1 take the liberty now?" in- quired the dignitary. "With all my heart, your lordship," replied the lady. The bishop arose and, returning to the drawing room, found the priest where he bad left him a few minUtes before. Having no fear, the bishop said kindly: "Who are you. 1113 friend, and why are you here?" The specter scented to sigh deeply and say as though to itself, "At last!" Then in a hollow voice, addressing the bishop, it continued: "1 am the spirit of a priest who left this world souse eighty years ago, and I ani here to impart to any one who will receive it a secret ti•lrich dled with me. I could not rest In my grave while a great wrong was being done which it was In my power to right. I have been returning all these years in the hope some one would address me, for it was not given to me to be the first to speak. AU men have shunned me until now, and It is your mission to do my bid- ding. I was a priest of the church of Rome and was called to this house eighty years ago to receive the con- fession of a dying man. He was the sole possessor of a secret the knowl- edge of which would alter materially the entail of this vast estate, and in his death he wished to repair the terrible wrong he had brought upon his kin. "At his request I wrote down the confession word for word as be gave it to the and when he finished had barely time to administer the final sacrament of the church before he expired 1n my arms. It was very important that I should return to London that night. and in passing through the library to leave the house I concluded it would be safer not to carry the paper on which was written the confession away with me, but to place it in some secure, unseen spot, where I could obtain it the following day and deliver the docu- ment to the person for whom it was in- tended. Mounting the steps to the bookshelves, I took out a copy of Young's 'Night Thoughts,' which was the first book upon the uppermost shelf nearest the last window, and, insert- ing the paper carefully between itt leaves, I replaced the book and depart- ed. A horse was awaiting me at the door, but ere we reached the entrance of the grounds he took fright. I was thrown and instantly killed. Thus died the secret of my confessor with me. No one has disturbed that book in all these years, and no one has had the courage to address this messenger from the un- known. The paper will be found as I have stated, and it remains for you to correct the injustice which has so long been upon this noble family. My mission is over, and I can rest in peace." At the close of this remarkable speech the specter faded gradually from sight, and the blahop was left gazing into space. Recovering from his astonish- ment, Bishop Wilberforce went at once to the library and found the book ex- • never became known to the world- The "Ah." be said, "you remember Horn- gold bishop regarded it as a confidence burg?

Built Under the lee and Shaped Like the Eskimo's House, Although the seal slxl.ds its life In and under the water. It is an air breath - Ing animal and cannot live for any great length of time without air. As winter spreads sheets of ice over the fast freezing arctic seas the seal breaks a hole in the ice over the water where It lives. This hole It is very careful to keep open all winter long, breaking away each new crust as it forms, eo that, no matter how thick the ice be- comes, the animal always finds there a breathing place and passage to the sur Lace of the ice above, where 1t can get fresh air and take a nap, for it does not sleep In the water. Then, again, al- though the seal can exist for a time out of the water, it has to seek its food In the sea, so that without both land (or ice) and water it bald not survive the arctic winter. How, after once leaving its breathing hole In search of the ash upon which it feeds, the seal can dad Its way in the dark under the ice, a yard to thickness and spreading over many miles, back again to its hole no one knows. but It ie not the less certain that when It needs air it swims as straight to its breathing place as a bird could fly through the air to its nest. When the seal Is about to build her house she first shakes the breathing hole larger and then, by means of her strong claws and flippers, or fore paws, scoops out the snow, taking it down with her through the lee until she has made a doruelike apartment of the same shape, though not the same size, as that built by the Eskimo. Unlike the Luta built by man, however, it can- not be seen from without, for above It stretches the long slope of untrodden anow, and the baby seal, for whose comfort the house was built, and its mother are sate from any foes that cannot find where the house is by the sense of smell.

Hooking one of his aharp claws into its little flipper, the bear then does a very cruel thing -he lets the cub down the breathing hole, so as to lead the anxious mother to come to it as it struggles in the water. When she does so he slowly draws it up again and as she follows it strikes and secures Lor with the claws of his other foot. Very few of ,these -held iteuses..ere' found out, however, either by men or' beasts of prey, and they last until the feeble arctic summer partly melte the snow that covered pnd concealed them.

Here Is an interesting pr"iiler,, in mathematics: Two clerks are enraged, one at n'merry which begins at the rate of $100 a year, with n yearly rise of $20, and the other at a salary com- mencing at the same rate, but with a half yearly rise of $5. In each case payments are made half yearly. Which of them baa the larger income? Who is not tempted to say the for- mer Yet the latter is the correct answer, for in the first year the first clerk re- ceives 8100, but the second clerk re- ceives 850 and $55, which amounts to $106 in the year. The first clerk In the second year gets, to be sure, 8120, but No. 2 gets 800 for the first halt year and 865 for the second, or 8125 in all. Gi■ 1■ England is the Old Days.

FREDINE & ANDERSON, Telephone No. 98, Hastings, Minn. - The Hampton Elevator Company. A jolly gathering of farmers was held last Saturday at Weiler's Hall, it being the annual meeting of ate Hampton Farmers' Co-operative Elevator Company. The secretary's report showed two hundred and seventy-nine shares of stock issued, the capital being 85,580. The cash account is as follows: Stock sold $ 1 5,580.00 Grain sold 101.992.26 Grain on hand 1.373.16 8108,945.42 Expenses $ 1.982.82 Grain bought 99.693 80 Cost of elevators8.300.00 Balance . 968.80 1108.945,42 According to the above figures the net earnings of the company are 81,688.80, a trifle more than thirty per cent on money invested, and a ten per cent dividend was declared, leaving something over twenty per cent of the earnings to be added to the capital stock. It was decided to reopen the sale of stock at five per. 1 cent premium, witb tbe reserve that such stock should only he sold to, fartners. It was furthermore decided to hold the annual meeting of stock -1 holders on the third Saturday in June, instead of. January. Officers were elected as follows: President. -J. B. Kranz, Vice President.-Juho Theis, Treasurer. -Herman Otte Secretary. -V, F. Rothe'. Directora.-J.J, Giefer, Henry Schaffer, John Wertzter. The business for the Bret year je certainly very gratifying, and it would be amusing if not startling to know just what the actual profits were to the farmers interested and have marketed their cereals here. The fact that farmers have come as far as fifteen miles with their grain, and made money by it, shows that there has been nothing the matter with Hampton markets this year. The success of the company is largely due to the bustling manager, J. .1. Giefer, who seems to know Just how and wbeu to sell, and as a buyer he can't be beat. That the company appreciated his ability was shown by tendering him a vote of thanks at the meeting. V. F. BOTHER, Secretary. The aternem. IIARLKY.-40 11045 Baar.--$4.00 ® 85.00.

"Years ago," says \Villlnm H. Hud- son in the North American Review, "Herbert Spencer found that the ef- fect of following ordinary conversation became frequently too much for him. But he liked to have people about him to watch the play of expression on Weir faces, to feel that, though he could not himself share much in the merriment, he was, as it were, a part of the nor- mal laid healthy social world. For this reason he objected to withdrawal into solitude and evolved a plan by which he might sevure the partial leo- lation whish he required. He hod a circular spring made to go round the back of his head, and this carried pads which fitted firmly upon the ears, ef- fectively deadening the noise about hien and reducing the surrounding chatter to a mere hum. 1 have often seen him, stretched at length upon his couch, follow with apparent interest the gossip over the afternoon tea cups up to a certain point and then, reach- ing under his pillow, draw forth and adjust his Instrutuent, thus suddenly' detaching himself from his environ- ment. The effect of tis movement with comparative strangers was al- ways to cause an Instant cessation of the conversation. But this was precise- ly what Spencer did not w•leb. 'Go on talking,' be would exclaim, with a quizzical! look. 'I can't bear what you are saying, you know!' " COSTLY LANTERNS. The Fancy Lamp. That Pasaeager Conductors taed to ('arry. Modern railroading has driven the passenger conductor's lantern almost out of use. Years ago the pride of a Passenger conductor was his lantern. Then the cars were not ,so brilliantly illuminated as they are now. told the ticket taker was obliged to carry his light on his left arm in order to see the pasteboards es he passed through the dimly lighted cur. At one time the conductors indulged in (-considerable extravagance in the clatter of lanterns. Some of them were gold a !Id silver plated.

Some of the conceits in the lights were unique, and the prices ranged from 125 to ten times that figure. The glass and plating were kept In a highly polished state, and none dared to meddle with this part of the ticket puncher's equip- ment. Conductors still carry their own lan- terns—that is, 'they are on the train ready for use—but there is nothing like the need of them that formerly existed. --Chicago Tribune. Army Firing Positions.

The directness of line obviously increases the danger by rifle fire to an enor- mous extent. It is estimated that as between equal numbers of french and German riflemen the French are would be twice as destructive. FFD • Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young ; when old, sotnetimes im- possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consump- tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will bejin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat- ment you will Win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can,. that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. M*nnaerlpt■ In Miniature. Probably one of the tiniest manu- scripts ever recorded was the little Bible in a walnut shell the size of a small hen's egg, an account of which has been preserved among the Har - !elan manuscripts by Peter Bales, an Englishman and a clerk of the chan- cery. It contained as many. leaves as a large Bible and as much reading mat- ter on each page. With a powerful glass it could be read easily. The au- thor of this tiniest book on record lived in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and in 1575 presented her majesty with the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, Ten Com- mandments, two short Latin prayers, his own name and motto, all written on a bit of paper the size of.a finger nail and set in a ring of gold covered with crystal. In this case iso a magnify- ing glass made the writing quit legi- ble. -London Globe. Tartan Distinctions. It seems to be a little known fact that many clans have more than one tartan. Tbey have, however, sometimes sever- al, such as a common tartan, a hunting tartan and a full dress tartan. Early in the day a highlander of position dons a kilt of plain tartan, and in the evening for dinner be puts on his full dress tartan, with sporran and richly jeweled dirk. For example, the Mac- pherson dress tartan is black and white with a narrow red line, and the hunt- ing Macpherson is a timall blue and black and red check. The Stewarts have three tartans, and the design of their hunting tartan In dark and green is a very fine one. Each clan has its own badge. The Duff men wear holly, the Gordons an ivy leaf, the Stewarts an oak leaf, and so on. Edible hints. Edible nuts are very rich in oil, with only n small percentage of the so called carbohydrates, such as starch or sugar, and they also contain a large propor- tion of nitrogenous constituents. They are thus the most highly concentrated form of nutriment, and Nature knew what she was about in providing such wrappings and casings as make it dif- ficult to come at these most precious bits of food. Evidently her idea was that if Adamic men were to undertake to live by nuts alone under the green- wood tree they would ruin their stom- achs with too much richness. So Adam had to take plenty of time for getting at the nut's meat and pick away, if on nut diet, at his food all day, is the birds and fowls do. -Boston Transcript Rates al Aaeerttsing. - One inch. per year... ................. ..t 6 (0 Each additional Inch 600 One inch,eeweek. .96 Loma Locnotices per line .10 Orders by mail will receive prompt attentioe Address IRVING TODD A SON, limiting, Mian.

It Is very obvious, of course, that his first name was not Shorty; but, what fs not so obvious, his last name was not Mahan. The name the rector pronounc- ed when he stood before the font with the wriggling infant in his arms was Jefferson Douglass Jerrold. They were a fine old family, the Jerrolds, with an abundance of heirloom silver, faded ancestral portraits. one of them a Cop- ley, and enough family pride to sink a ship. When Jefferson Douglass bad grown into a short, thick set youth, with sandy red hair and a mobile face, which effectuallyconcealed his thoughts and emotions, the family council set about to choose a career for him which would do credit to the silver. the por- traits and the family pride. His fa- ther's mind was divided between medi- cine and the law. His mother made her gentle arguments for the ministry. Jefferson Douglass went to college with his mobile face as inscrutable as ever, but with firm determination to choose his own career. The exact moment .when he decided what that career should be was that October afternoon when Michael Ryan, athletic trainer and ex -middleweight, rose groggily from the floor of the gym- nasium and rubbed the point of his jaw in a dazed fashion. Before him, unlacing the boxing gloves which in- cased his hands, stood a short, hick set young man with sandy red hair and an impassive face. Ryan pulled -off his own gloves and extended his hand, which the other shook gravely, "If I could hit like that," said Ryan, "I wouldn't be here. Mau, I could make a wonder of you in a year's tile." ,That -was why Jefferson Douglass cut short his course ::t college, where. to tell the truth, he was not succeeding tremendously along prescribed lines, and. in a stormy interview at home, announced his intention to seek his fortune in' the world in his own way and by his own efforts.' How those efforts were to be directed he neglected to state, but when t'ie identity of Shorty Mahan, the newly arrived ate). "IF YOU'LL PERMIT ME," HE SAID, "I GET THE KITTEN." lar attraction 10 the lightweight cia was finally forced upon his unwilli family and their suspicious fear. carne bitter truth his father swo roundly, and his mother looked lo at the ancestral portraits, especia the Copley, and wept. For three years Shorty Mahan e joyed a series of brilliant ring victorie which made his name a household wo in the .sporting world and added ve materially to•the foundation of his fo tune. Then it was announced that t fight between Mahan and Billy Devi of the Pacific coast for the lightweig championship of the world bad finall been arranged to be pulled off in a we known sporting club in the east; th the purse had been put up, the edict of agreement signed by both men n the forfeits posted. Just two weeks after this announc ment Shorty 'Mahan, with his trains his sparring partner, his rubbers an his bull terrier, took up his abode in little cottage on the shore of Freshwa ter lake, prepared for the monotouou three months of training which was t fit him for the fight of his life. Freshwater lake was a charming bit of water but half a mile from Thorn- ton village and a scant ten miles from place. Shorty Mahan upon his arrive the club where the fight would take l looked the place over, grinned his de- light and entered upon bis training with a vengeance. The trouble began one May evening just at sunset as Mahan and Jim De- laney, his sparring partner, were re- turning from a ten mile run along the country roads. They had reached the village and were jogging easily along the elm lined streets when Mahan no- ticed a young woman standing beneath a cherry tree and calling in tones of coaxing anxiety to an Angora kitten which sucked among the branches at the top of the tree. He stopped short and turned into the yard. "If you'll permit me," be said, doffing his cap, "I'11 get the kitten for you." "Oh, if you would be so good," said the girl. flushing becomingly. In another moment Shorty Mahan's red head was among the topmost branches, and then, with the kitten in bis arms, he slid deftly to the ground. "Gee!" said Delaney when Shorty Joined him outside the fence. "Pretty nifty, wasn't she?" Shorty wheeled on him suddenly. "Jim," he said shortly, "that was a lady. Remember it, if you please." And then he cutouts pace for the training 'LL SS, ng be - re ng Ily n- 9, rd ry r- he ne ht y 11 at es nil rs . d a s 0 • quarters which landed Delaney tb perspiring and well nigh blown. Delaney remembered afterward it was directly after the kitten that Ma:1xc began to behave rathe strangely. He insisted on taking daily run quite alone. He fdund or vented numerous errands which d him to the village, and he went th alone also. Every Sunday night p cisely at 7 he slipped off for a qui wall; hy himself, so he said. The weeks went past, and the time the fight approached. Instead of 1 creasing interest 111 his tralnln Shorty's zeal showed unmistakab signs of flagging.

A sheep herder gives some of his ex- perience in handling sheep on the west- ern ranges In the following: We have to watch them every min- ute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an Instant the entire bock is likely to com- mit suicide. In handling most animals some degree of self help or intelligence can be relied on to aid the owner in paving their lives, but sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill them- selves, If caught in a storm on the plains, they will drift before the wind and die of cold and exposure rather than move 100 yards to windward to obtaln shel- ter in their corral. To drive sheep against the wind Is absolutely impos- sible. I once lost over 1,000 head be- cause I could not drive them to a cor- ral 200 feet away. In the corral they are still more fool- ish. If a storm comes up, they all move "down wind" until stoDped by the fence. Then commences the pro- ceeding so muallareaded by sheepmen, known as 'piling." The sheep will climb over one another's backs until they are heaped up ten feet high. Of course all those on the bottom are smothered. Not one has sense enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fence, as a horse or dog would do. Again, If a sheep gets into quick- sand its fate teaches nothing to those that come immediately after, but the whole flock will follow the leader to destruction.

They foliowe�t him to the little church and stood be fore the uncurtalned windows of th vestry. Shorty entered and took ase:t well down in front, and even as the watched a hymn was started, in whit they could recognize Shorty's home made bass. Dawson, who was the head trainer, gasped. "'Member the kitten I told yob about?" Delaney whispered. "Well I've found out that the gill was the parson's daughter." "Humphr' Dawson grunted, and they started back. When Shorty returned to quarters Delaney was waiting for him. "Now, about this prayer meeting business, Shorty," Dawson began. Shorty's eyes flashed fire. "If you fellows have been shadowing me there's likely to be a rough house here," he said. He stood glaring about him for n moment, then turned on bis heel and went to bed. There have been many vague theories advanced and many absurd stories cir- culated as to why the Mahan -Devine fight never took place. Some will tell you Shorty Araban was terror stricken at the last moment. Others affirm he was paid a liberal sum to forfeit the fight to Devine. The real reason, set forth in a letter by Shorty himself, is in the possession of Jim Delaney. It came the morning of the fight: Dear Jim -It's all off. You know I often said that if was ever defeatehare I d never fight again. Well, I lost this fight before ft began. Clean knockout -by a woman too.

When the Naturalist Gets a Chanes to Study Him at Close Range. For the greater part of the year fear A RABBIT CAT. is the dominant instinct In the life of A Slight Misconception, Under the subtle influence of the new world the foreigner beeollles a good citizen, willing to do his duty by town and state and to extend it in time of need to his adopted country. But he does not always grasp the entire polit- ical scheme. Angcio, a newly net -walla - ed Italian citizen, lived, says the Brook- lyn Eagle, in one of a row of neat little cottages built by a man of philanthrop- Ic nature In a factory town. The cottages had pretty front yards that faced on a street as nicely kept as a parkway. Before each gate was an ornamental hitching post. One evening when on a rent collecting tour the philanthropic landlord found one of the posts torn up and throwu into the street. Angelo lived in the house to which he post belonged, "Angelo," said the landlord, "bow came that post to be torn up?" "Me teara him up," Angelo answered, "Me no wanta de pole. Ile costa too mucba mon," And, turning to his wife. Angelo commanded, "Bringa de little pape." Obedient Mrs. Angelo brought the paper, which turned out to be a poll tax notice, "Looka disa," said Angelo, passing the notice to his landlord. "Dey mak.t me pay de doll' for de pole. De pole he no good to me -me have no horse. Me no pays de doll'. Me diga de pole up and t'row him away." Embarrassment of Seats. I live in one of the suburbs, and the train on which I ride to the city is gen- erally crowded. The other day, how- ever, an extra car was put on, and when I got aboard there were many vacant seats, • I noticed when I sat down that every man who got aboard looked around as if he didn't know just where to sit. One old fellow in par- ticular attracted my attention. He first took a seat near the door. Then be got ap and started toward the middle of the car, but finally, after a good deal of hesitating, he went back and seated himself near the place he bad decided upon first. Still he wasn't satisfied. He looked at he vacant seats around him and several times seemed to be in- clined to change over to one of them. Now I have seen this man hundreds of times scramble upon the cars when they were well filled and rush for the first seat he could get, but never before had I seen him exhibit so much uneasi- ness and dissatisfaction. When the car is crowded he is glad to find room to sit down anywhere. At such times he doesn't stop to see whether the vacant seat is at the end or in the center or on the right or left side. He just takes it and is tickled at his luck. The more a man gets the more he wants and the less is he satisfied with what he bas. -Chicago Record -Herald, An Odd Epitaph.

It seems probable that the tailless Manx cats originally came from Corn wall. They managed to survive longer as a distinct breed In the Isle of Man than in Cornwall, the predominance of the common tailed cat being of course aided in the latter district by the tact that, aitbougb remote, it is part of the mainland of England, whereas new cats could be carried to the Isle of Man only by sen. The Manx cat which first attracted modern attention was a very different animal from the vari- ously colored specimens which now take prizes at cat shows. It was al- ways of the color of a hare and had fur like a hare. Like a bare, too, It always moved Its hind legs together. Its chief food was crabs caught on the beach, and when transported Inland from he seacoasts it very seldom, If ever, survived long. No cat of this kind has been seen for many years In the Isle of Man, though there are plenty of tailless cats, its crossed descendants, to be purchased there. Wherever it originally came from, the Cornish or Manx cat was more nearly a separate species than any kind of show eat now existing. It was a seacoast animal, with fur, color, absence of tall and method of locomotion obviously adapted by the inheritance of ages to its habit of catching crabs and other small life be- hind the ebbing tide. To Avoid a Tie Vote. In the history of our comic literature there have been many genuine "Irish bulls" recorded, but rarely one that is of a neater brand than that encounter- ed at a political gathering on Locust street above Broad, in Philadelphia, Bays the Record of that city. A con- vention of delegates bad been called to revise the rules of the party, and In or- der to expedite matters a delegate moved that a committee of fifteen be appointed to draft the proposed rules. Before tbls was adopted another dele- gate suggested that a committee of fif- teen would be unwieldy and proposed an amendment reducing the number to eight- This was agreed to, but before its adoption an aged delegate, with a rich Mileslan brogue, arose and sol- emnly proposed, •'Misther Chairman, I move yer that the committee be in- cr'ased to nolne, so that In case of a tole vote there'll be a mnjarlty of wan."

The parts played by their respective grandfathers in the civil war wen being depicted by two of the boys in vivid colors. The career of each, it seemed, had been halted by confinement In southern pris- ons, and it was on the latter fact that the lads laid particular stress. The third youth, unable to match these re- citals with any military achievement of his own forefathers, preserved an envi- ous silence for awhile and then, not to be outdone, said disparagingly: "Why, that's not so much.
