Curiosity Not Stilled.
A certain Tonili:; pri >ner landed tn
jail a'.uost , i'lU'ss. lie w.-.s a man
whcv had ligi . in a number of (ho
to\v«'s sliatly iran letlons, and
1 name was juvt [y y,-p!I known. A few
I days after his in' -oration ho wrote
to a friend asking ,i monthly allow-
I #Bc® "i $lO id ( !nnod during his
, term of impri-on i«• m. The /fiend, re
| uleiu boring j favors, remitted thr
| amount each niontli during a period
| that covered two trials and the long
, time intervening. One day it occurred
j to him to inquire Into the manner of
I expending the allowance. 110 supposed
; it was used to buy occasional extra
• meals, u few cigars and newspapers,
j but just as a matter of furiosity he
| asked for particulars. He found to
| his astonishment that the prisoner had
I never ordered an extra meal and had
| not smoked a cigar all the time he had
| been in jail.
"Then what in thunder," demanded
the man,"have you been doing with
that $lO a month?"
"1 subscribed to two press clipping
bureaus," replied the prisoner coolly.
"You don't suppose, do you. that I am
going to pass through this, the most
critical time of my life, without find
ing out what everybody has got to say
Hbout me?"— New York Times.
The Star Chamber.
Perhaps the most beautiful and origi
nal scene of all in Mammoth cave is
the star chamber. At a point in the
i well defined path one comes to the
brow of a gentle declivity and notes
that the roof of folded or fretted lime
stone had disappeared. The darkness
is impervious to the rays of the lamps.
"The star chamber," announces the
guide, and, bidding his visitors to put
their lights out and to look up, he dis
appears up a side passage. Slowly the
darkness above lightens a little; then
stars come out one by one and twinkle
merrily as in a real sky. A comet
shoots across the line of vision; then
the glory of the Milky Way appears.
The illusion is perfect and the explana
tion not far to seek.
The celling Is heavily coated with
manganese dioxide and lias been
pierced here and there with snowy
crystals of gypsum. The guides go be
hind this ceiling, and the light from
their lamps produces the effect of a
miniature firmament with the crystals
of gypsum for stars.—New York Post.
He Grasped the Idea.
"Tommy," said ins teacher, "the
words 'circumstantial evidence' occur
In the lesson. Do you know what cir
cumstantial evidence is?"
Tommy replied that he did not.
"Well, I will explain it to you by an
illustration. You know we have a
rule against eating apples in school.
Suppose some morning I should see
you in your seat with a book held up
In front of your face.» I say nothing,
but presently I go around to where
you are sitting. You are busily study
ing your lesson, but I find that your
face is smeared, while under the edge
of your slate I see the core of a fresh
ly eaten apple.
"I .should know just as well us if 1
had caught you at it that you have
been eating an apple, although, of
course, I did not; see you do it. That
is a case in which circumstantial evi
dence convicts you. Do you think you
j know what it is now?"
"Yes, .ma'am," said Tommy. "It's
eating apples in school." Youth's
Companion.
The Mormons.
The Book of Mormon appeared in
IS3O. Joseph Smith of Palmyra, N. Y.,
claimed that he had received it as a
new Bible for all mankind. lie began
preaching Mormon doctrines, gathered
followers, who migrated to Kirkland,
0., and later to Missouri, whence they
were driven out by their neighbors.
They then went to Illinois, building
the city of Nauvoo, and adopted po
lygamy, but they met with strong op
position there and finally settled at
Salt Lake. They had hardly reached
there before the foreign soil they had
chosen was a part of the United States
by a treaty with Mexico.
The Seven Wise Men.
The names and characteristic aphor
isms of the seven wise men of ancient
Greece are as follows: Solon of Atheus,
"Nothing in excess;" Theles of jfiletus,
"Suretyship brings ruin;" Pittacus of
Mitylene, "Know thine opportunity;"
Bias of Prieno iu Caria, "Too many
workers spoil the work;" Chllon of
Sparta, "Know thyself;" Cleobulus of
lUiodcs, "Moderation is the chief good,"
and Perhmdcr of Corinth, "Forethought
lu all things."
Simply Reversed.
Bill—l see he is trying to have the
judge's sentence reversed.
Jill—What was the sentence?
"Ten dollars or ten days."
"Well, I don't see what good it would
do to have it reversed."
•"Why not?"
"Wouldn't ten days or $lO be just as
Vad ?"—Yonkers Statesman.
Tolerant Orientals.
Both the Chinese and the Japanese
have shown throughout their history
great toleration in matters of religion.
Even the persecution of Christians in
the seventeenth century bad its origin
purely in political reasons. Japan
Chronicle.
The Last Word.
"Your wife likes the last word,
doesn't she?"
"I don't think so," answered Mr.
Meekton. "Anyway, she's mighty re
luctant about reaching it."—Washing
ton Star.

the stuff y.'ome;! very t'ttitl and very
salt, and he t.; he must abandon the
struggle Ik it. But his stubborn
nature forli.nie any such thought. So
be fetched the whisky from the cup
board, poured out a glass and placed it
before him on the table.
"Now, Sandy,'' said lie. "if ye eat
that pnrritcli ye'll liae that whisky, an'
if ye don't ye won't."
lie stuck again at the last spoonful:
but, keeping his eye steadily on the
glass of whisky, lie made a bold, brave
effort and got it down. Then 110 slowly
and carefully poured back the whisky
Into the bottle, with a broad grin, as he
said to himself, "Sandy, my lad, I did
ye that time, ye auld fule!" —Dundee

One Hair Astray.
A guest at a certain fashionable ho
tel recently had a grouch, lie carried
It to the proprietor.
"Look here," he said, "things around
here are just about as rotton as they
make them. When I went to lunch to
day I found hair in the ice cream,
hair in the honey and hair in the apple
sauce. Now, what do y' think o' that?
Is that a good hotel?"
"Well," replied the genial proprietor,
"I can explain the hair in the ice
cream. That likely came from the
shaving of the ice. And I suppose
that the hair in the honey came off the
comb. But I don't understand about
the hair in the apple sauce. I bought
those apples myself, and they were
every one Bald-wins."—Columbus Dis
