In tbe Ex-Librls .Imininl nn n musing anecdote Is given of a innu anxious for a cont of urms nml fortunate iu finding one. A secondhand bookseller bought nt a country sale some 300 volumes of handsome but unsalable old sermons, books on theology and the like. He placed a number of these outside his shop. Sfon afterward u well dress ed man entered and said, "Have you any more of this kind of books with this shield ou them?" pointing to the bookplate attached, wlilcb bore the arms and name of a good old country family. "That box, sir, is full of books from the same bouse," answered tbe book seller. "What do you ask for them?" in quired the man. "I'm going back to Chicago, and I want to take some books, and these will Just tit me, name and all. Just you sort out nil that have that shield and name, but don't you send any without that nameplate, for that's my mine too. 1 reckon this old fellow with tbe daggers and roosters might have been related to me some way." Picking a Hons. A British cavalry officer, speaking of horses, snld: "Give me a free hand nnd I should pick a roan that Is, for good temper and quick learning. Dark grays nud blacks are mostly strong nud hardy, nud so are dark chestnuts. As n gen eral rule, light chestnuts and light bays are nervous nnd delicate. A rusty black's a sulky pig nine times out of ten. Then, ngaln, there nre 'white stockings,' as they call them. You know the old saying, 'One white leg's a bad tin, two white legs you may sell to a friend, three white legs you may trust for a time, four white legs you may lay your life on.' " This does not agree with an old Yan kee saying: One white foot, buy him; Two white feet, try htm; Three white feet, look well about him; Four white feet, go on without him. Now, however, the American Idea is similar to that of the sergeant, and they say, "Four white feet you cau stake your life on him." London Spec tator. An Ingenious Device. When Sir Iiobert Perks' school days were over he entered the oliice of a firm of lawyers nnd worked very hnrd. It was no uncommon thing to dud blm rending Inw nt 5 in the morning, nnd this often after he had been working late on the previous night. As n mut ter of fact, be made it an Intlexible rule never to be In bed of a morning after 5. To enforce this rule he in vented nu ingenious device. This con sisted of a long glass tube tilled wltb water nicely balanced over his bead and attached by a string to an alarm. At tbe desired hour the bell rang nnd awakened tbe sleeper. If within a few seconds be did not leap from bis bed and avert the calamity the descending weight of the clock destroyed tho bal ance of the tube, and down poured the wnter on bis guilty bend!

There is a blacksmith who has a shop dowuiowu ami who has a reputation for good work, especially iu the mak ing of ice tongs. But he claims to be nn expert ou any kind of ironwork. Iieceutly a man dropped in on blm while bo was working on a pair of Ice books. "1 see you arc an expert on Ice hooks," said the culler. "Oh, yes! I make ice hooks putty good," remarked the mechanic, "uut 1 nlso shoe your horses or do other iron work yust so good." "Well," said the caller, "I've got a stove ou which the binges need re pairing. Col you fix themV" Tho blacksmith drew himself up to his full height and scornfully asked. "Do you think I urn a dod gasted Jew-eler?"-St. Joseph Gazette. Unique American Families.

Chorus of Members The k'leas woiidiu-! Foreign Geography. Children of European birth who were old enough to receive some Instruction in geography before coming to this country hold opinions In regard to tho political divisions of the earth which all tho American geographers and tbe teachers thereof combined cannot up root. A New York teacher found that out when she tried to Impress upon a young Austriau miss that Columbus is tho capital of Ohio. "It Is Cincinnati, ou tho Ohio," re torted the Austrian maiden politely, but firmly. Maps nnd printed text were produced to prove bor error. Tbe pupil was in nowise convinced. "It wasn't that way In our geogra phy ut home," said she. And the next day, to uphold her contention, she fcrought the geography on which she based her assertion. That book was not a perfect product of the geography maker's art. for It certainly did state that Cincinnati, ou the Ohio river, was tho capital of Ohio. "But that is a mlstnke," snld the teacher. Then day after day, when the girl was called upon to recite, the teacher put the questlou of discord, "What Is the capital of Ohio?" aud day nfter day, at the risk of bad marks, came Hie -positive reply, "Cincinnati, on tho Otic" New York Press. Whelks' Eggs. Natural soap Is not heard of very of ten, but it not only exists, but Is highly prized by Jack Tar In the tropics when the purser reports that tho ship's sup ply of soap has glveu out. Then nil hands nre sent ashore to gather a sup ply of "natural soap," which is found on the shore In the shape of whelks' eggs. The whelk Is n little shellfish, or marine inollusk, which Iu Europe is eaten like mussels, cockles, oysters nnd clams, but In the tropics It Is more highly esteemed for the soap It provides In the shape of Its eggs. The eggs are found In n light yellowlsn mass which is composed of some Uvo or six hundred cnpsules. Oue fish nloue produces millions of these eggs In the course of the year. They nre found on t lie shores of the Atlantic, but nre very profuse on tbe Intertrop ical coral reefs, where sailors take large quantities aboard for use us soap. Diamond Cut Diamond. 'Tatrlck II. McCarren," said a Brook lyn lawyer, "knew bow to handle men. He met straightforward men with straightforward methods, and tricky men he bested with wilier tricks thnn their own. "Once be illustrated his policy to me with n story. He was like, be said, the rich Peter Higglns. "When Peter was young nnd gay two friends, being hard up, put up a game oil blm. "'Peter,' they said, 'you might pay us that $2 we lent you.' "'When did you lend me $2?' said Teter haughtily. "'Why, night before last, when you were drunk.' was the reply. "'Oh, yes,' said Peter. 'I remember now. But, hang It, I paid you back!" '"Paid us back? When?' "'Last night, when you were drunk Don't you remember?' " Didn't Lose hits Temper, There was an elderly East Indian colonel whose boast It was that be bad a very tranquil disposition that noth ing could rulllc. He took up golf, nnd for a long time Ills friends failed to notice any disturbance of the colonel's outward calm, but one day, when play ing a foursome, he got Into a notorious "devil's punchbowl" bunker and spent a terrible fifteen minutes trying Urst to find the ball and then to piny It out. He tried every club In vain, nnd at last, glaring like n demon, be smashed them, one after another, across a Jagged rock. "What are you doing?" cried the party above. "It'o all right!" he snorted. "It's it's better to break one's clubs than to lose one's temper!" And the caddie gath ered up the pieces. The Comparison. Dropping Into the (Jarrlck club one afternoon, Charles Ilrookfleld, the dram atist, found a well known actor, who happened to be playing David Garrick at the time, reclining In a chair right under the portrait of tho lmuiorlal "Davy." lirooklleld stopped in front of him nnd looked first nt tbe portrait and then at the man. "By Jove, old fellow," be exclaimed nt last, "you grow more aud more like Garrick every day!" "Do you really think so, Brookficld?" returned the delighted victim. "Yes," came the crushing retort, and less nnd less like him every nlgut."-London Taller. Slightly Acquainted. As nn Instance of the "marrying In hnste" principle that obtains iu aome Amerlcau titles an English Indy who visited Chicago relates how her timid, who accompanied her, quickly becani" Imbued with the desire to become Mrs. Somebody.

"Are you going back home, t lieu 7" the lady asked. "Ob, no, inn'nm; it's nn American gentleman." replied the maid. "But," remonstrated her mistress, "we've only been here n fortnight." "That's no matter. He wants the wedding to lie on Saturday." "Well, can't you get blm to postpone the marriage just n little till I can gel another inird?"

De Wolfe Hopper was once a wit ness Iu 11 suil for slander, and the opposing counsel iu the court room said: "You nre nn actor, I believe?" "Yes," replied Hopper. "Is not thtit n low calling?"
