Abbot, In Outlook. IIICIL'S PATENT COOKEIL The Pathetic Story That Induced the Rootor to Buy. 'I 'itild !"? to call your attention to ruy payout cooker, " said the milil in.innorurt man with the soft low voice to the rector of St Uartholomew's. "It ruDsist', an inehbo you uau see " "But I don't dcslro a cooker, and would not look at one if I did," Inter rupted the rector of St. Bartholomew's !.u us IrnjctMe manner aa Is permitted to his cloth. "They come in three sizes," contin ued the mild-mannered man with the ft low voi(v ' small, mejum and large. They're made of tin, irenuwine Mock tin, not rolled tin. 1 have fre quently been congratulated on the quality of my tin. Said Bishop Dobson to me: '1 licks, I congratulate you on t he quality of your tin.' " "Bishop Dobson?" queried the rector cf St. Bartholomew's with languid in terest "I don't remember to have soon his name in the church calendar." "Methody," explained the mild-mannered man. "I'm a Methody. Here's a certificate from my pastor saying I'm an indivklooal of moral character and use good tin in my cookers. Here's a letter frnra llev. Edward Atkins but 1 don't set much store by that, bein' as he is a Baptis', and no Judge of tin. The principle on which my cooker is based" "You will have to excuse -roe," said the rector of St. Bartholomew's, look-i-g hard at the heavy gold watch pre sented him by tho parish on hU last birthday, "but I have a sermon to write." "Mebbe your lady would like to see) the cooker," said the mild-mannered man. "It's made of genuwine block tin, and BUhop Dobson himself said: 'Hicks, I congratulate you on the qual ity of your tin.' " "I have no wife," said the rector, with the merest suspicion of a blush. "Then buy a cooker and git one," said the iaild-in,vunered muu, confidentially. "With Hit.' Its' pay tent cooker as an rgumint, you will git one easy. They nome in three sizes small, mejum and urge. This herd is the stuula one, Folds all up, you sec, like a telescope, Mebbe you wouldn't believe it, butoDe of them small-sized cookers saved my life once. It was in the spring cf 1S53, or the fall of lf.vj, or the winter of 1M.V, I dou't remember which and it don't make no dilTi-reitce, that Rev. Dr. James Wllymr.s, 1). D., and I took pas age for Africky in the brig Thomas .1. AValkup, goin' as missionaries to some of flie numerous cannibal trrbes that keeps down the population, and conse quently accounts for the depressed values of real '.state in the Dark Con tinent. Rov. Dr. Wilyuins was to teach the savages religion, but my mission was a more important one. I was to iatroduce Hicks' peytent cooker among 'era. Yon ban Bee that even this large sized cooker won't hold a man, to say nothln' of the mejum and small ones. Now I calculated to te:u.h the sav ages to use my cookers, and when they got so attached to 'em as to never eat oothin' except what was cooked in a cooker seein' that you conldnt cook a man in 'em cannibalism would natur ally die out When I broached my plan to Bishop Dobson his eyes shone and he said: 'Go, Hicks, go. Your work will supplement the work of Hev. Dr. WU yums. I heartily commend your .plan, and I congratulate you on the quality of your tin.' Them was hie words, and I went ' - - ' "Well, sir, the mornln' after I ar rived in Africky I began to talk to the chief about my eooswr, wton what does he do but take me down to the leadin' grocery store of the town and show me Rov. Dr. Wllyuma chained up. f " 'Can you oook him?' axed the chief, " 'No,' said I, my breath all gone with surprise at the turn affairs had "took. ' " 'Well,' said the old chief, 'them's the kind ol victuals we eats. We don't comiDM much in the way of ferwakflaWfc foods, infanta' foods and the like. If your cooker can't cook our style of pro visions we ain't got any use for it' "And with that they put me in their jail, and that was the last I ever seen or heard ol Rev. Dr. James Wllyuma, D. D. They would have et me at once, but the chief's daughter, Cgogina, fell in love with me, and made 'em put off the obnequies or festivities, according as you looked at it from my stand point or the savages'. I talked nice to I'gogina, ami got her to bring me my himill-ni.cii conker, the only one tho old witch doctor what kept tho cookers would let. her have; and with thot I cookui t hem huvnj,-es the finest kinds of vlctut.k they ever et.and they set me free and made rno royal cook, and tho chief kinder smiled indulgently at the way Ugofrln was maUin' up to mo. So you see the himtll-si.cd cooker saved my life." "I'll buy the btuall size," said the rector, hastily. "I have a scrrnon to write." "Xow you just take my advice and git a mejuia wise. You can afford it. When you take that small-sized cooker round to that young lady you're after, when you ask her to marry you what'll she think? W hy, she'll say to herself that in buyin' this small cooker you are layin' out not to ever have any com E4BJtC.O)ealsJjarJ.lf .ihaW.a girl that is fond of company, you're runnin' a risk. Walt till I tell you how the mejvtra sized cooker saved my life. Well, the old witch doctor took a big dislike to mo, and kept tcllin' the folks that I would make a better meal rooked than I would oookln. l'g(rina wanted to marry me, and the chief was wlllin', but tho witchdoctor prophesied a lot of calamities If the marriage took place, und scared the chief. Now I didn't want to marry I'gogina, but I could see that if I did I would be saved from bein' ct; but I thought I would try to save mysulf and get out of the marriage also. I could have run off to sea any day, but there warn't no boats. I could hoc ships f-nllln' by quite often, but there warn't no way to git oil to 'em. I decided to fix tho witch doctor first I got Ugngina to wheedle the old feller to giro me my mejum sized cooker, the small-sized not bein' largo enough for my purposes. Then I got a lot of African lieaus and some hollow reeds and soma sticky clay. I set the beans a Cor Uln' and put the reeds into a little hole I made in top of the cooker. I invited the witch doctor in, and tld him thU was somo of my new vaporized atmospheric air, and told him to put his mouth to the reeds titid suck some in. You know, if you have studied chemistry, that beans are highly charged with gas. Especially is this true of the genuine African bean. Well, sir, that old chap swallered a lot of that gas. and quicker than a wink I'gogina and I knocked him over and plastered his noso and mouth up with clay, und I'm adtimmed liar if that gas didn't float that old feller right up in tho air, clear out of sight. You see, he was remarkably capacious, and the gas was remarkably strong remarkably strong. 1 stood there In front of the people when he was float in' in the air, and told 'em I was a magician, and could set 'em all floatin'. They was scared; wanted to elect me chief; bui I wasn't used to high political honors, and compromised with alderman and president of tho school board. Well, sir, I'gogina was dyin' to marry mo at once; but 1 staved her off for a time by say In' I wanted to git my trousseau ready. That's how the mejum-sized cooker saved my life." "I will buy a medium-sized one," said the rector, faintly. "It can be used by St. Margaret's ward of tho guild church fairs." "Or country fairs, either. However, 1 think you would like tho large-sized cooker for tho church fairs. But you wait till I finish my story. Now. I was engaged to a girl in tho United States. If I married Ugoglna what would be the consequonces? Breach of promise suit for ten thousand dollar, and me with no assets but throe sample cookers of block tin. What then? Default of payment state's prison for life, 'tildes, I didn't want to marry Ugogina. What did I do? Well, sir, one day I see a ship goin by, and, stretchln' out the large-sized cooker they aro all air tightI jumped on it and paddled off to the ship, poundin' on the small and mejum-sized all tho way to scare sharks. That's how the largo-sized cooker saved my life." "Put me down for the large size," said the rector of St Bartholomew's, wearily. "I knowed yon would," said the mild mannered man with the soft, low voice. "There's something affectin' in the story of how them cookers saved my life." Wardon Allan Curtis, in Har per's Weekly. The King of Spiders. Ceylon is the home 'of the largest species of spider that has yet been made the subject of entomological investiga tion. This web-spinning monster lives in the most mountainous districts of that rujrged island, and places his trap not a gossamer snare of airy light ness but a hugo net of yellow sHk from five to ten feet in diameter, across chasms and fissures in the rocks. The supporting guys on this gigantic net which in all cases is almost strong enough for a hammock, are from five to twenty feet in length (aa conditions and circumstances may require) made of a series of twisted webs, the whole beiDg of the diameter of a lead pencil. As wight be imagined, this gigantic silken trap is not set for mosquitoes, files and pestiferous gnats, but for birds, gaudy hiotha grid elegantly painted butterflies, some of the latter baring a spread of wing equal to that of a robin or a blue jay. Borne extra fine skeletons Of small birds, liaarda, snakes, etc., bare been sound ioaeM we as, vita every vestige of flesh picked from them. The owner and maker of these queer silk traps is a spider with a body averaging four and a half inches in width and six length, and with legs nine to twelve inches from body to terminal claw. Some are spotted, others red with greenish gold abdomen and legs. St Louis Republic. The Otltaw Dob Charaaer. "It is really a great pity," said Esmerelda Cervantes, the harpist, who is on terms of intimate friendship with the different members of the Spanish royal family, "that Princess Isabella, Eulalia's eldest sister, did not come to America instead of Eulalia. She is one of the most admirable aud accom plished women I ever knew. Hers is Indeed a noble character. She Is a widow and devotee herself to good works und the arts. She is a thorough mublciun and is the author of some very fin 0 musical compositions. It would really be ditlicukt to fancy two people more totally unlike than are theuo two royal sisters. Neither do they look alike, as you can see by their photo graphs," and Mile. Cervantes produced two Inscribed pictures, one a very good likeness of Infanta Eulalia aud the other representing a sweet, dignified, refilled woman, somewhat older but much handsomer. "Princess Isabella is greatly lcloved in Madrid," continued Mile. Cervantes. "Had she come here she would havo won golden opinions for herself and the Spanish people. Unlike Eulullu, she is of equable tem per and is always to be relied upon. I am very fond of her and consider it not only an honor but a privilege to be numbered among her friends." Chi cago Post HIS PREDICAMENT. This Voting Man Was In reek of Trouble Through No limit of Ills Own. There is a certain young man in Chi cago whose natural propensity for be ing ngrernble ' hits nomrt.lmc plaoed htm In embari'ussing positions. He has not quite rocovured from his latest shock. Two weeks ngo he doolded to accept an invitation to a certain club recep tion. A young lady from the fur south side was to accompany him. That evening when he called st her father's door the young lady was In disposed. A female cousin happened to le spending the evening at the house, end being an old friend the young man was ushered into the fam ily sitting-room and introduced to the aousin. whom ho hud never scon. Nat urally onoutrh he didu't catch her mime on presentation, nnd naturally enough, too, he proposed that she go with him to the tcce t'on. Tive minutes after the Introduction she withflrew to get rendy. When she jhiiic out prepared to keep out of the ?ill she sccmerl only un animated bun nies of A-rapt. It was this animated lftuullc which a few moTiu nt Inter retired to the club dressing room set aside for ladles. She jaitio out metamorphosed beyond all lope of Identiflcntion at the end of ten jtiinutvs. Introductions to three or four other ladies, Imd in the mountlme tended to still further bewilder the foung men, and he stood with a cold, Mummy sweat on his thoughtf-tl brow. What a situation! The oscort of a young lady whose name he couldn't ;nll and whose face he couldn't remem ber! And there were half a hundred of faces about tho rooms. Twice In the course of the evening he thought he had found tho young lady. Each time he spoke guardedly about her "sick cousin," and each time tho young lady gave him a scarce look, as if she doubted his sanity. It was not she. The evening dragged on somehow. He thought several times of runuing away somewhere anywhere and never being heard of more. Then a happy thought struck him. It gave him new hope of life. People began to go home after a time. The crowd thinned and the young man watched hopefully. Six women were loft five four three Twol And one other young muni Then tho other young man took the arm of the tall young woman who was smiling so graciously about her, leav ing a sober-faced, demure little woman buttoning her left hand glove. And then, with a great feeling of thankfulness in his heart, the first young man went forward and without a word took the arm of a Dead Cer tainty! Chicago Record. FORMAL VISITS. A Card Ekuliange Would Certainly lie a Labor-Having Institution. Is there nny more tiresome or un satisfactory occupation than the mak ing of formal calls or the "paying of formal visits," as it has been the fashion of late to call it? The woman who at tempts to keep up her social duties in a large city finds nothing more irksomo than this. There is no satisfaction to le obtained from a ten or fifteen min utes' conversation when the hostess feels annoyed at being interrupted in some more agreeable occupation, and the guest inwardly sighs because she was not able to leave her card, thus ob taining "more time to score off other names from her long list. If the call is mode on a day "at home," the caller is apt to have only a passing word with iter hostess, and then must give way to new arrivals. A cynical clubman suggests that some public-spirited leader in society might confer a benefit upon her suffer ing sisters by instituting a card ex change that in time might rival the stock exchange for the work accom plished. At certain hours and days of the week, he says, its members might assemble for the exchanging of cards and calls, and in a short time perform the labors that otherwise might take a week to complete. "Only a short time ago I ordered a thousand cards, and now they are all gone but these," aaid a pretty woman of society, opening aa example of the latest Pari fashion ia card-cases. It might almost have been called a portfolio, for it was about aix inchea wide by eight (nonet long, and was made of dark-green leather, One- uali was formed of the calling book. with it lists of addressee and dates of calls made and returned. In the op pis- si to half were three pockets aid by side, one"smsll, one medium, and one large. The first contained the card of monsieur, the second those of madams, and the third a paokage of note paper eeorenlently arranged so that each Bheet formed its own envelope. The full length of the case, back of the small pockets, was a long pocket te be used as a receptacle for any other list or notes; and a dainty gold pencil completed this model caracase. And yet, . it was hardly quite complete. Madame could not easily carry such 'a bulky article did she go on foot, so a carriage become a necessity, likewise an attendant footman and then only can the .conveniences of such a card- case be fully appreciated.
