They come and go mysteriously, although their going is frequently marked by exasperating delays, and there are al most as many infallible cures as there ire warts, the only trouble with these cures being that they are useless wiien applied to the particular wart you hap pen to have.' They are only good for atlier people's. "In my opinion," said a clubman, who was discussing the subject with a friend one day, "a wart is merely the DUtward correspondence of some men tal excrescence. (Jet rid of that, and It goes away. "Let me give you a bit of my own ex perience," he continued. "Last year I went to Europe. For about three years I had had a wart on my little linger, 011 which I had tried everything I could hear of, but without effect. It only grew larger. "Well, in the excitement of prepar ing for the trip and of the journey it self I forgot all about my wart, and when I looked for it about six weeks later it had vanished without leaving the slightest mark. I simply forgot it, and it had no mental condition to feed on. I see you have one on the back of your band. Forget all about it for a few weeks, and it will go away of it self." "Yes," said the other clubman, shrug ging bis shoulders, "but 1 can't afford to take a trip to Europe for the sake of curing one wart." —Youth's Compan ion. Giving Ilor a Le»on, The habit of describing tilings as "awfully jolly" was iftuusingly satir ized by a gentleman who came borne prepared to chat 011 events of the day. An acquaintance had failed in busi ness. lie spoke of this incident as "de liriously sad." He had' ridden in an omnibus with a friend whom he de scribed as "horribly entertaining," and to crown all he spoke of the butter which had been set before him at his restaurant as "divinely rancid." "Why, dad, you are going off your bead!" said his youngest and most im pertinent daughter. "Not in the least, mv dear," he said pleasantly. "I'm merely trying to fol low the fashion. 1 worked out 'di vinely rancid' with a good deal of la bor. It seems to me rather more ef fective than 'awfully sweet.' I mean to keep up with the rest of you here after. And now," he continued, "let me help you to u piece of this exqui sitely tough beef."—London Telegraph. The Man Kneed Crnli. One of the most singular looking creatures that ever walked the earth or "swain the water under the earth" is the world famous man faced crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in length, yet lh*j head is fitted with a face which is tlie perfect counterpart of that of a Chinese cooly, a veritable missing link, with eyi s, nose and mouth all clearly deiiued. This curi ous and uncanny creature, besides the great likeness it bears to a human be ing in the matter of facial features, is provided with two legs which set 111 to grow from the top of its head and hang down over the sides of its face. sides these logs, two "feelers," each about an inch in length, grow from the "chili" of the animal, looking for all the world like a colonel's forked beard. These man faced crabs fairly swarm iu the inland seas of Japau. A Devoted Mothrr, Although looked upon as vermin and destroyed accordingly, the weasel is a good mother and probably treats her young ones more kindly than many of her human enemies treat theirs. A weasel, carrying something in her mouth, was once seen to enter a hole in II tree. The observer, applying lighted straw, soon smoked her out. She then darted toward a stone wall, near which she was attacked by a terrier, which speedily slew her. She fell an easier victim because of the burden she bore iu her teeth. Anxious to see what this was, the onlooker went forward and fouml it was a baby weasel. The moth er's nest in a field close by had been plowed up, and she had been searching for another home. As her youngster could not run she carried it in her mouth rather than leave it to perish. The Adornment of an Arab Girl. Arab girls before they enter the harem and take the veil are a curious sight to behold. Their bodies and Tace are dyed a bright yellow with turmeric. On this ground they paint black lines with antimony over their eyes. The fashionable color for the nose is red, green spots adorn the cheeks, and the general aspect is gro tesque beyond description.—"Southern Arabia," by Mr. and Mrs. T. Bent. Cologne Cathedral. One would think that the identity of the architect of such a superbly de signed building as the Cologne cathe dral could not possibly be lost to the world. But it is. The cathedral took centuries to build, and many architects have modeled parts of it according to their own ideas. The result is the most beautiful cathedral in the world. The Ivory Nat. The vegetable ivory nut of commerce is the albuminous seed found in the drupes of a dwarf palm. From these nuts European turners fashion the reels of spindles, small boxes and many other little fancy articles, which can bo colored with sulphuric acid.— Chambers' Journal. Antlprofanlty. In Switzerland and Italy good people go about ■vitli little cards containing pledges against swearing. These are presented whenever the bearers lieai gome one indulging in profanity. The jenj&kty for violating the pledge is a jstßful self imposed fine, to be paid to Mfe- Be Sure Yon 1 Vnd, The man who would tike to know something about astronomy must lay out a little scheme of study for him self, get the books which are neces sary and have them at band the mo ment be Is at leisure. The man who wishes to familiarize himself with po litical economy, with polities or with industrial questions, which are now of Buch importance, must find out what textbooks he ought to have, secure those textbooks and keep them by his side. The man who wishes to know litera ture does not need to lay out an elabo rate plan which fills him with discour agement by .Its very magnitude, but he does need to decide what author he is going to read next, and he does need to get the book and keep It within easy reach. Almost all the great classics are now published in such portable forms that a man can carry a play of Shakespeare, the essays of Bacon, the poems of M'en nyson or of Browning, a translation of "Faust," Matthew Arnold's criticisms, Emerson's essays or John Burroughs' charming transcriptions of nature in his coat pocket and substitute them for the newspaper which Is thrust in his face by an eager newsboy and which he buys because he has nothing else to read. —Success. One Hopeful Sign. While I was llv+fig in California, writes an Englishman, I had the oppor tunity of noting the extreme considera tion shown to employees by California employers. I cannot recall an instance of a cruel and cutting rebuke from one in authority to a clerk or servant dur ing the seventeen years of my stay. A friend of mine had a clerk who was always forgetting important du ties. Letters would be forgotten, im portant entries on the books omitted, and messages even were sometimes not delivered. Said my friend to me one morning: "Really, I must speak to John." So John was summoned, and I won dered what manner of rebuke would fall upon his head. "John," said my friend, "it is most astonishing what a very bad memory you have. But I believe that in time it will improve, because I have noticed that you have never once forgotten to draw your salary on the first of the month." John took the hint, and after that my friend was more faithfully served. Antiquity of the Water Pump, The water pump of today is but an improvement on a Grecian invent Km which first came into use during the reign of I'tolemles Philadelphos and Energetes, 283 to 221 B. C. The name, which is very similar in all languages, is derived from the Greek word pempo, to send or throw. The most ancient de scription we have of a water pump is by Ilero of Alexandria. There is 110 authentic account of the general use of the pump in Germany previous to the beginning of the sixteenth century. At about that time the endless chain ami bucket works for raising water from mines began to be replaced by pumps. In the seventeenth century rotating pumps, like the Pappenham engine, with two pistons, and the Prince Ku pert, with one, were first used. Pumps with plunger pistons were invented by Morland, an Englishman, in 1074, and the double acting pump by De la Hire, tlie French academician. Funny Speeches. Grose relates tliat Caulfield, meeting Mr. Thomas Sandby, said: "My dear Sandby, I'm glad to see you. Pray, is it you or your brother?" It was a Spaniard who remarked ingeniously that an author should always write his own index, let who will write tin book. Edgeworth relates the story of an English shopkeeper who did pretty well in the direction of the bull proper when, to recommend the durability of some fabric for a lady's dress, he said, "Madam. It will wear forever and make you a petticoat afterward." Tills is quite equal to the Irishman's rope which had only one end because the other had been cut away.—Temple Bar. Keeping Butter. Good butter will keep sweet for many weeks when It Is placed In a crock after being made into rolls wrapped in strong cheesecloth or old muslin •.md then covered with a brine strong enough to bear up an egg. Saltpeter and sugar may be added to advantage while the brine Is still hot in the pro portion of a teaspoonful of the former and a tablespoonful of the latter to ev ery four quarts. The brine must, how ever, not be poured upon the butter until It is entirely cold. To Vnrnldh Bronae. To make a brilliant black varnish for bronze make a bath of equal parts of nitrate of silver and nitrate of cop per.
