A certain newspaper proprietor had a way of appearing in the composing and pre. s rooms at the most unexpected times, and ns his visits often resulted in a general "shakeup" of the working forces of the paper they were awaited with fear and trembling by the em ployees. One time one of the pressmen, an ex cellent workman, who had been there many years, but was sometimes guilty of a lapse of sobriety, had a black eye and was in a quandary as to what ex cuse lie should offer if the proprietor noticed it. l?y a sudden inspiration he seized an ink roller and daubed some ink on his face, quite covering the dis coloration. Presently the governor came in and, with the foreman, went through the room, commenting on ev ery detail and looking very sharply at every workman. When about to leave, he suddenly pointed to the inky press man and said, "What is that man's name?" The man quaked in his shoes until lie continued slowly: "I want you to give that man 5 shillings a week more wages. lie is the only man in the room who looks as if he had been working." Something to Bruce Ip On. It was along about noon when a well dressed man lined up against the bar. lie had the air and looked the part of a high liver, but there was ev ery .sign of a bad night. He stretched himself, rubbed his head and said to the bartender: "I want something to brace up on." "All right, sir. "What'll it be?" "Get the large lemonade glass and break five eggs in it." Chapman, the bartender, looked at him suspiciously and hesitated. "That's what I want," lie ordered. Chapman broke live raw eggs in the glass and waited for further orders. "Now a pint of champagne." Chapman opened the bottle, and the customer poured it on top of the eggs anil, taking a spoon, stirred the mix ture thoroughly ami then drank it. Then lie paid his bill and walked out. — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Primes an Medicine. That the fruit possesses very consid erable virtue in this respect is con ceded by most eminent authorities, and for this reason as well as on ac count of their food value they are in cluded among the foods suitable for in valids, children and those whose di gestive powers are rather inactive. Their influence is mild, which fact makes them desirable for the not over robust. A dish of well cooked rice and prunes, made dainty and attractive for serving, is a dish to serve for either a breakfast, luncheon or a dessert, espe cially for tin; child or invalid, and should be added especially to our list of li'.t went her dishes, frequently re placing mi at and potatoes and heavy, unseasonable desserts. A Man of Experlence. "You are quite sure, Uncle Bushrod," she queried, "that Judy has no idea there are only books in those two boxes you took this morning over to the courthouse in the cart?" "Miss Ma'y," answered the old chap, with dignity, "I done had three wives, an' Judy's de las', I reckon. An' I jes' tell you dis, honey, I don' trus' no colored 'ooman's tongue."—Mrs. Burton Harrison in Lippincott's. Xlodlly Proportion*!. The proportions of tlie human fig ure, says iin anatomist, are six times the length of the right foot. The face, from the highest point of the forehead, where the hair begins, to the end of the chin, is one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from the wrist to the end of the middle finger, is also one-tentli of the total height. From the crown to the nape of the neck is one-twelfth of the stature. The Orljjlanl Pnlr. Upon one point the disputants are agreed: HTIII descended from a pair of ancestors. Who they were is not so ape panent.—Chicago Tribune. Happiness is sometimes like a pair of spectacles.

Peculiarities of Footpaths. Footpaths are what roads are not, natural productions, just as the paths made by liarcs, deer and elephants are. No one really makes a footpath—that Is, no one improves It. What is true of central Africa is true of Kngland. "The native paths," wrote Professor Drummond, "are the same in character *ll over Africa. Like the roads of the old Komans, they run straight on through everything—ridge and moun tain and valley—never shying at ob stacles nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet within this general straightforwardness there Is a singu lar eccentricity and Indirectness in de tail. Although the African footpath is, on the whole, a bee line, no lifty yards of it are ever straight. And the reason is not fnr to seek. "If a stone is encountered, no na tive will ever think of removing it. Why should lie? it is easier to walk around it. The next man who comes by will do the same, lie knows that a hundred men are following him. He looks at the stone a moment, and it might be unearthed and tossed aside; but, no, he holds on his way. It would no more occur to him that that stone Is a displaceable object than that fel spar belongs to the orthoelase variety. Generations and generations of men have passed that stone, and it still waits for a man with an altruistic idea."—Spectator. Tlie Hljxlit Arm and Left Foot. The right arm is always a little lar ger than the left, but the left foot is almost always larger than the right, presumably because while nearly every man uses Lis right arm to lift a weight or strike a blow he almost invariably kicks with Lis left foot, while the lounger stands on his left leg and lets his right fall easily, because he lias learned by experience that tLis is the best attitude he can assume to prevent lassitude and fatigue. This constant bearing of the weight on the left foot makes it wider than the right, and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on the right foot and gets a close tit has to discard the shoes altogether because he cannot endure the pain caused by the tight ness of the left. If when riding on the street car you will take the trouble to notice, you will see that in laced shoes the gap Is much smaller on the right foot than on the left, while with button shoes the buttons have to be set back ten times on the left shoo to once on the right. A Tussle With KIIKUHJI. The pitfalls of the English tongue to a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom an who has undertaken housekeeping in New Y'ork thought she had a good working knowledge of the language, but soon discovered her mistake. One day she called a carpenter and planned with him to have some work done about the house in the way of putting up shelves, etc., and she went over the ground with him as carefully as possible to get from him an estimate of what it would cost. After the work was done the bill sub mitted was considerably in excess of the sum first named. The Frenchwom an endeavored to remonstrate, but only succeeded in making the following re markable statement to him: "You are more dear to me than when we were first engaged." New York Sun. Almonds. The world's almond crop, exclusive of those raised in California and the west, comes from Italy, Sicily, Ma jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo rocco and Algiers. The highly prized Jordan almonds come from Malaga. Spain, and not from the Jordan river, as many people suppose. The common almond is the most indigestible of all the nuts and contains very little nour ishment. There are many ways, how ever, in which it is advantageously used as a desert or as a flavoring. One peculiarity about the almond tree Is that its leaves contain prussic acid and are therefore poisonous, while the fruit may be eaten with impunity. A Sure Thing Sport. A well known politician on setting out for a day's sport with a friend pointed to a large spaniel which lay apparently asleep in the hall and bet his friend a guinea he could not at tract the dog's attention. The bet was readily accepted, and after the failure of a shrill whistle and a blank cartridge to causeHhe slightest movement the guinea was delivered up. "That's my old dog Mahatma I had | stuffed a few weeks ago," laughed the | politician, "and that's the tenth guinea j he's brought me."—London Tit-Bits. Italian Been. Italian bees are more hardy than the native and more profitable. They are more energetic and will gather honey in partial droughts when natives will do nothing. They will gather honey from blossoms that natives will not touch. They are stronger on the wing. Will fly more directly and swiftly anil are not so irritable. IIoV»o I'nradlne.
