The All Around Genius That Would
Jus: Fill the Bill,
The following is quoted from the
Arierican Magazine and is signed by
H. Lee:
“Here's the whole thing in a nut-
shell.” said Brown to me. “I am now
twenty-eight years old, have my own
business and have brought it to such a
state that 1 have decided to take a
partner.”
“Take one,” answered I.
“There's the rub,” he gave bac.
“My partner must be such an a.!
around knowing one that I'm afrsi!
I'll have hard work to fill the posi.
tion.
“My partner must be able to ma»
laws and to enforce then: musi
able to carry out complicit od chen!
work, must be a skilled 10 Pande, mu
know something of econ. i. es, must |,
able to buy wares of 20 kinds with
due consideration of my fLnances anc.
must be able to do tailoring of a kind
if necessary.”
“Hold on, Brown!” said 1. “Are you
dippy, as the vulgarians say?
“No,” replied he. “I want a wife.
Look around among your friends an:
see if any one man among them coul.!
do all that a good housewife should hs
able to do. She must make just laws
for the family and enforce them. She
must understand the complicated proc-
esses of cooking. Making, mendinz.

less than she does?”
“My dear boy.” said 1. “do the way
9 per cent of us do—marry and trust
to luck.”
Canary islanders Who Would Hava
Made Good Ball Players.
In this age of athletics one mig:
think that no people ever showed =
much interest in feats of musculnr
might and skill as those who have po
fected football, but modern games,
and even the games of the Greeks nt
Olympia, may have been more than
matched by the sports of peoples now
held in light esteem. We have the ac.
counts of excellent authorities for the
contention that the athletic training oo”
Canary islanders makes even the co -
lege giants of today seem weak nnd

Spanish chronicles have left accounrs
of sports of the islanders. From baby-
food they were trained fo be brisk in
self defense. As soon as they could
toddle the children were pelted with
mud balls that they might learn how
to protect themselves. When they wer»
boys stones nnd wooden darts wep
substituted for bits of clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en.
abled them during their wars to eat)
in their hands the arrows shot fro-
their . nemies’ crossbows.
After the conquest of the Canaries
native of the islands was seen at So-
ville who. for a silver piece, let a man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from a distance of eight paces
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone.
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with so greet
rapidity that he could not eatch ii.
Three men tried this, each with a dozen
oranges, and the islander caught every
orange. As a further test he hit his
antagonists with each of the oranges.-~

When You “3ee Stars” !
The man who when struck violently |
on “he bead says he “saw stars” is not
far frow telling the truth. The fact
is that there Is a phosphorescent pow-
er in the eye whick does not attract a
persou’s attention under ordinary con-
ditions, but which is distributed and
reveals itself whenever the head gets
a sudden shock and sometimes even
in the nct of sneezing. A blow on the
head results in a pressure of the blood
vessels upon the retina, causing either
total darkness or = faint blue light
which floats before the eyes, and it is
in this faint blue light the Imagination
discerns the thousands of fantastic
forms and figures that by general ac-
ceplance are tered stars: hence,
while the astronomical display so fre-
quently mentioned may be said to be
entirely a creature of the imagination,
there is at least some foundation for
the idea. Tle true nature of the sen-
sation is never very apparent, even to
the victim, for the simple reason that
it is invariably experienced under cir-
cumstances which render a searching
introspective investigation out of the
question.
An Odd Nugget of Gold.
There have been many large and
eddy xhaped gold nuggets found in
the United Statex and elsewhere, but
the oddest of them all wax that dis.
covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky
gully. near Melbourne, Australia, in
1887. The nugget wax flat and almost
the exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hawd held open, with
the exception of the thumb nnd fore-
finger. which were closed together in
a anner so as to make it appear that
the thumb was holding the finger In
Its greatest length was twelve
and a balf Inches and its greatest
breadth elght (ncebes It wax of the
very purest gold. with but a litle of
foreizn substances adhering. mostly
between the “fingers” and weighed
G17 ounces, It was found in the north
west main drive of the Midhas mine.
120 feet below the surfince of the earth
and at a spot only fdfty feet from
where the famous Lady Brassey nug-
get was discovered the year before, It
weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold.
Mme. Rejane at Rehearsal.
Mme. Rejane at one of her rehearsals
was endeavoring to impress upon a
young actor the necessity of a tragic
expression,
“Put yourself In bis place.” she said.
“But 1 have pever been through such
an experience,” the other pleaded,
“Well, then.” retorted the actress,
“imagine you Lave lost 300 or 400
louis at baccarat and that you have
been dismissed from the company.”
His face fell,
“There you have it.” said she. “Keep
that expression and you will win”

Balzac and Black Coffee.
Balzac wax addicted to the use of
strong black coffee and depended upon
It as a nervous stimulant during the
hours which be devoted to composi
tion, Its effect be bas himself de-
scribed in these words:
“The coffee falls into your stomaucl. |
lmediately everything starts into ae
tion. Your ideas begin to move like
Grand Army battalions on the battle.
field, and the battle opens. Memories
arrive at a run, standards flying: the
light cavalry of comparisons bres
into a magnificent gallop; the artillers
of logic dashes up and unlimbers;
thoughts come rushing up as sharp
shooters: characters spring up on ail
sides; the paper becomes covered with
ink, for the struggle has begun anid
ends In torrents of black water like
the battle in black powder.”
Burns as a Tax Collector.
In the olden days candles were taxed
articles, and it was the duty of Robert
Buras as an excise officer to see that
the tax was not evaded. He generally
looked the other way, however as
when passing through the Kitchen one
night at William Lorimer's of Lenni
shall, where the gudewlife wax Lusy

“Faith, madam, ye're thrang the

tains stand up as they do instead of

The Light 3¢ the Stare. |
Various endeavors have been made
| to estimate the light of the stars. In
bus registered 324,000 =tars down to
the uine and a half magnitudes, and i
with the aid of the best photometric |
data Agnes M. Clerk's “System of the :
Stars” gives the sum of the light of |
these northern sturs ax equivalent to |
1-440 of full moonlight, while the total
light of all stars similarly envmerated
in both hemispheres. to the number of |
about 900,000, Ix roughly placed at |
1-180 of the lunar brightness. The |
scattered light of still fainter celestial
bodies ix dificult to compute. By a
photographic method Sir William Ab-
bey rated the total starlight of both
Lemispheres at 1-100 of full moonlight,
and Professor Newcomb from visual
observations of all stars ar just 728
timex that of Capella. or 1-80 of the
light of the full moon. :
It is not certuin, however, that the i
sky would be totally dark if all stars
were blotted out. Certain processes
make the upper atmosphere strongly |
luminous at times. and we cannot be
sure that this light would be totally |
absent.—Harper's Weekly.

A Dutch Fishing Fleet. :
If the traveler wants to get a veal .
glimpse of picturesque Holland, a
glimpse which shall long be a happy
memory, let him journey to the old
fishing village of Scheveningen, not
far from The Hague. Its fishing fleet
Is an imposing one and is best seen at
night, when the boats are drawn up on '
the beach. Each bas a number, and |
these are painted on the sides in such !
large figures that they can be read :
at a considerable distance. At night |
when the fishermen begin to come to '
land the women of the village walk |
down to the beach with their knitting |
in their bands to meet them. They |
wear their wooden shoes, some of |
which are made to look especially |
clean by an application of whiting, and :
ther make au merry clatter as they go. |
Industry is characteristic of the wom- |
en of Holland in all walks of life. |
They must always be at work of some :
kind, and ft would seen as if more
knitting needles must be used iu Hol-
land than in any other country in the
world.—E. J. Farrington in Interior.
