a Deuce fin r Suggested by a Lady. “let me have five two-cent stamps, please,” said a lady to the polite young man behind the counter in the post- office, “Yessum,” he said, handing them out. “Can't you let me have them in one piece?’ she added. “Certainly, ma'am,” said the young man. “Can 1 send them home for you?®” “Oh, no; 1 don't live far away, and 1 ain going straight home. I wouldn't put you to the trouble” “No trouble at all.” said the polite oficial. “I haven't very much to do today, and I could easily spare an hour.” “Very much obliged,” said the lady, smiling sweetly. “Dear me,” she add- ed, putting on a stamp, “what a bother it is to stamp letters! Why can't we gend lesters and let the postoffice send in their bill once a month?" “They might just as well,” said the obliging young man sympathizingly. “I'll mention the facet in my next re- port to Washington.” “Will you? How nice! But you mustn't mention my name. Say the idea was sgggested by a lady.” Catching a Bride. Among certain Siberians the bride- groom is not permitted to have a wife until he can catch her. But they do not give him a fair race in the open. The bride, surrounded by her female friends, awaits him in a big tent. As soon as she sees him she runs off. He follows like Hippomenes after Ata- lanta., But instead of obstacles being thrown in the way of the bride they are thrown across the path of the bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls over old women, chairs, tables, stones and fishing rods or is tripped up by ropes. Only when it is feared he might give up and sulk and go away without the fleeting lady is he permit- ted to overtake her. Then as she falls into his outstretched arms it may be imagined she utters some equivalent of “This is so sudden!” A Live Steak. “It is a mistake.” said the president of the New York Waiters’ club, “to think that an Englishman always wants his beef excessively rare. As a matter of fact, the English like their beef better done than we do. 1 once saw a waiter,” he continued, “serve an English duke with a cut of very, very rare sirloin. The duke looked closely at the slice of bright red meat. Then he said: “ ‘Waiter, just send for the butcher. will you? “ “The butcher, sir? the waiter stam- mered. “Yes,' said the duke. ‘This beef doesn't seem to be quite dead yet.'” Charlotte Bronte’s Last Tribute, “He will not separate us—we have been so happy!” These were the last words of Charlotte Bronte when, hav- ing become Mrs, Nicholls and baving lived with her husband only nine months, death came to snatch the cup of domestic felicity from the lips of the happy pair. A low, wandering de- lirfum came on. Wakening for an in- stant from this stupor, she saw her husband's woe worn face and caught the sound of some murmured words of prayer that God would spare her. “Oh,” she whispered, “I am not going to die, am 1? He will not separate us —we have been so happy!” The Words That Won, In London one of the weekly papers offered a prize for the best list of strong words to number ten. The an- nouncement specified that but ten words would be considered from any one person and a committee of literary men would select from the numbers offered the ten strongest words in the English language. These are the words that won: Hate, blood, hungry, dawn, coming, gone, love, dead, alone, forever. Do you think of any stronger, fuller of suggestion 7—Exchange. Not Herself.

These Fabrics Come From Two En- tirely Different Animals. “The other day I heard a couple of men arguing about mohair and alpaca, one of them gravely asserting that they were different names for the same fabric,” said a New York importer. “The assertion was very far out of the way. The cloth known as alpaca, if genuine, comes from the wool of the animal of the same name, which thrives only in the Andean regions of Peru and Chile in South America. The alpaca, or paco, which resembles the llama, looks a good deal like our domestic sheep and has a most beanti- ful fleece. Great flocks of them browse on the highest ranges of the Andes and are the property of the native In- dians, who shear them once a year. Many efforts have been made to breed the alpaca in different parts of Eu- rope and Australla, but without suc- cess. A cargo of them was brought to Baltimore some time fn the middle of the last century, but the experiment of raising them in the United States was likewise a failure. “The cloth known as mohair comes from the Angora goat, a very different animal from the alpaca. The angora is found in South Africa, but the lar- gest flocks are found in Asia Minor.” — Exchange. PARIS AND LONDON. Contrasts In People and Manners In the Two Great Capitals. In the streets French traffic all goes to the right; London coachmen drive always to the left. Parisians live to- gether in large houses like barracks: Londoners have one family in a house. The Londoner has a latchkey, the Frenchman a concierge. Paris has its cafes, London its clubs. Parisian beds are up in an alcove in the wall; Londoners sleep in the mid- dle of the room. Londoners take three or four meals a day, Parisians two. Paris dines, London eats. Paris loaves are long, London loaves are square. Paris drinks wine, London beer. Paris takes coffee, London tea. Frenchmen while dining talk to their neighbor and enjoy each other's so- ciety; Britons sit alone at table and don't say much, but enjoy their food. London workmen work in their ordi- nary clothes, call each other “mate.” smoke clay pipes and punch each oth- er's heads occasionally; Parisian work- men do their business in blouses, call their friends “citizen” or “sir,” smoke cigarettes, take thelr hats off to each other and do their fighting with their feet.—London Tit-Bits, CASTORIA For Iefants and Children.

Her Sunday Knitting. | eighty years young, “it was count- jed a sin among the good wives of the “Years ug.” suid an Auburn woman little Maine town where 1 was born to waste a single moment of time. | have heard my grandmother tell the story of one dame who much scandal- ized the church peopie on one never to be forgotten occasion. People who went early to church were surprised one Sabbath morning to see Aunt Bet- sy sitting away up in front, gray yarn stockings in her hands and her knit- ting needles clicking merrily away as she worked. The minister stopped in surprise as he passed her on his way to the pulpit. but the old lady was not one whit disturbed by his disapprov- ing afr. Smiling serenely, she said complacently: ‘Thought I'd knit a stitch while the people are gathering. 1 never was one to waste a minute, elder.” And the good dame continued to click her needles, while the horrified minister hastened to his desk. Not till he began his sermon did Aunt Bet- sy lay aside her Sunday knitting work.”—Kennebec Journal, Carlyle Was a Terror. The domestic infelicity of the Car- Iyles is common knowledge, but It is not inappropriate to give Mrs. Carlyle's view of her husband. “If he would only be satisfied!” she used to some- times complain of Carlyle. “But | have had to learn that when he does not find fault he is pleased, and that has to content me.” On one occasion when Carlyle was away from home Mrs. Carlyle busied herself to get all in perfect order for her husband's arrival. and when all was complete—his di: rr ready, his armchair in its usual position, his pipe and tobacco prepared, all looking as comfortable as possible—Mrs. CC, sat down at last to rest and to expect him with a quiet mind. He arrived, and “after he had greeted me, what do you think he did? He walked to the win- dow and shook it and asked, ‘Where's the wedge of the window? And until we had found that blessed wedge noth- ing would content him. He sald the window would rattle and spoil all.” Hard and Soft, “What,” asked the teacher, “does an- thracite mean?” : “That's a kind of coal,” said little Willie. “Yes. Anthracite coal is what we call hard coal. So ‘anthracite’ must mean ‘hard. Now, can you tell me what ‘bituminous’ means?" “That's coal, too,” Willie replied. “But it isn't the same kind of coal that anthracite is, is it? Bituminous coal is what we commonly refer to as soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see if you can form a sentence containing the words anthracite and bituminous.” Willie thought the matter over for a minute and then said: “Here's one: ‘This morning before pa started downtown ma wanted $5 te ME ——— groceries and things, and she tried to get it by saying bituminous words, but pa gave her an anthracite look, and when he disappeared around the corner she was weeping bituminously.’” She Investigated. What Elsie's sister wanted to know was where Elsie got that beautiful silver mounted walking stick. But Elsie didn't want Eisie's sister to know, so Elsie's sister got Elsie's fa- ther to ask Elsie. “1 found it,” Elsie poutingly inform- ed her father, “floating like a schooner on the waves one day when I was bathing.” But two days later Elsie's sister said to Elsie: “Come—tell me! What is his name?” “Name!” repeated Elsie blankly. “What do you mean?” “I mean, dear,” said Elsie's sister, “that last night 1 tried to make that stick of yours float in the bath, and well, darling, it sank!” — Pearson's Weekly. A Metaphor With a History. To “know a hawk from a hornshfw® is a metaphor with a curious history It is a comparison drawn from fai- conry. “Herushaw® is a earruption of “heronshaw.” or youilg herou, a bird which was a co:umou prey of the fal cons. To know a hawk fro:a a hern- shaw ig therefore to be able to dis- tinguish the falcon from its prey. A further colloquial corruption crept into the phrase—*to know a hawk from a handsaw.” a form used by Hamlet iu one place. Possibly the distinction be- tween a hawk and a herushaw was found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb.—Manchester Guardian. - Grouch.—The Rev.
