Laßar A DUSKY CYNIC. Me Gayly Admitted That the Joke Waa on Himself. A lady was walking along Fiftli ave nue n couple «>f weeks ago when a liig negro stepped up t<> her politely and asked her to give him a quarter. "I am a shipwrecked sailor." he told her. "Three (lavs ; i :. r < i the ship I was ou went ashore on: side Sandy Ilook Ever since then I've been wandering around wlthou; being able to get a Job." The lady gave him a quarter ami passed on. A week later while •,< !:;g by the same spot ou Fifth avenue she was approached once more by the same negro. "I am a shipwrecked sailor." he he gan. "Three days ago" She let him finish. Then she re marked: "Two weeks ago when 1 gave you a quarter you told me that same story. Then you said that you had been wrecked three days before. Now yon say the same thing." And she looked at the negro severely. He threw back his head and burst forth into roars of laughter. "Did—did I give you dat, story last week'/" he chuckled. "Did you give me a quarter? Well, if dat ain't a joke on me!" And she left hiui standing on the sidewalk convulsed with laughter.— New York Times. CARDS IN CHURCH. They Were Not Uncommon In the Old Days In England. Frequent cases of card playing oc curred in churches in olden days in the high or curtained family pews that were to be found in several parts of England. A case of card playing was men tioned by the poet Crabbe as having occurred in one of those pews in Trow bridge parish church. Mr. Beresford Hope stated that card playing was not uncommon in churches having cur tained pews, where those occupying them were screened from the observa tion of the rest of the congregation, and that one of the Georges is credit ed with taking part at a game of whist In the church he attended. The church at Little Stanmore, in Middlesex, has a luxurious room pew which is approached by a special door and staircase. The old St. Paul's cathedral before the great fire of London was used by business men as a sort of exchange. The portico was let out to hucksters, and in those days gambling and cards are both said to have been indulged in without let or hindrance within the cathedral.—London Standard. Outwitting a Bushranger. In Mr. George E. Ho/.all's "Story of the Australian Bushrangers" the fol lowing little episode is related: A man named Michael, who went to an inn for food, found the place in the hands of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests were already disarmed and were being searched in order. Michael was com pelled to take his place in line. The bushrangers handed him a pannikin of tea before they took his money. Know ing what was coming, lit; held the pan nikin as if the tea were too hot to drink, and when the leader of the highwaymen was looking away drop ped his roll of bank notes into it. He stood <|iiite quiet, and when the bush rangers came to feel his pockets there were only a few shillings in them. The robbers appc;>-. d satisfied and al lowed him to go. carried his pan nikin out with h: look his money and put it in his pocket without being observed. Then he mounted his horse, rode to tin? nearest police station and gave information. Her Indorsement. "Madam," said the teller of a bank in Baltimore to a woman who had handed him a check to cash—"madam, you have forgotten to indorse." A worried smile came to the wo man's face, but she took back the pa per and wrote something on the back thereof. When again the teller looked at the check he found that the woman had in dorsed as follows: "The bank has always paid me whatever it owed, and you need have no worry. Therefore I indorse this check. Very truly yours, Anna M. Blank."—l larper's. Radishes. Radishes originated in China, where they have been cultivated for many centuries and sometimes grow as big as a man's head. In Germany the old fashioned country mothers cure hoarse ness and cough with radish juice mix ed with sugar candy. The radishes of today have no flavor, no character. Formerly their sharp, biting taste made them palatable. An Outrage. "What makes you so late?" asked the boy's parent.

In Spite of Clipped Wing* They o*l Back on Time. The colonel was something of 8 pigeon fancier and had so much con lidenee In a certain strain of homers he was making a hobby of that when his friend the major proposed a wagei the colonel removed the limit. "We'll make It a suppuh," said the major. "W black boy will tote a paiab ovWi to the cyahs an' ship them to St Louay, whuah they ah to be libahrated on uhrival. I waguli they all not back in two days, sah." The colonel accepted, crated his fin est pair and included a note to Ihe ex- j press agent with the charges. Mean while the major communed with Joe, the colored boy, and after the tender ing of a certain half dollar and prom ises of immunity from the conse quences of the colonel's wrath latei Joe agreed to clip the pigeons' wings sub rosa. Two days and the major pre sented himaelf duly at the colonel's The colonel eyed him with suspicious narrowness. "Have they ahrived?" asked the ma jor gayly. "They hev, sah," said the colonel, with dignity; "they hev, but those twe pidgins, sah, hev the so'est feet I eval) saw on a bird, sah."—Browning's Mag azlne. BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT. Then Take a Long Think and Mine Your Own Business. The other day a man traveling on u shore line train noticed, protruding from an overhead rack, a dress suit case which he recognized as belonging to a friend. He knew that his friend always got oft' at the station whicb they had just passed, and as he was not in the seat the conclusion was in evltable that he had jumped off the train and forgotten it. The man called the conductor and explained the case to him. After some discussion and a mild protest on the part of the conductor that it wasn't a part of his duty, the suit case was put off at the next station, with instruc tions to send it back on the first train the other way. The man, feeling that he had done an able and friendly act, settled down for the rest of his journey. But not for long. The face of his friend, who had been in the sinokei and who happened 011 that particular afternoon to be going onto New Lon don to attend a dinner party—loomed before him. The moral of this is, of course, quite evident. Be sure you're right and then mind : your own business.—Life. Overboard. "Overboard" is engraved on a inetai I label fastened to many articles of para ' phernalia seen about the decks of u modern war vessel. It means that the \ article so marked should be thrown j overboard whenever action with an' enemy's ship becomes imminent. Al cohol chests, turpentine tanks, paints, spare spars, unnecessary hatches and i other articles easily destroyed or splin-1 tered by shell fire are thus labeled ! The president of Occident college, Cal- ! ifornia, is said to have given the word a new meaning in civil life when he used it to indicate those who are unfit, useless or inapt, in the struggle of life It is a strong word and as such can be appropriately applied to men and ( things which when a ship must go tc battle are not necessary or material to the cud desired.—Army and Navy Life. Her Own Doctor. A Washington woman recently hired a negress. Going to the kitchen one day, she was amazed to find the ne gress sitting on the floor, with her hair standing out from her iiead like | a black nimbus. The girl was pull- ■ ing one curly lock and then another in j such a way as to suggest that she had 1 suddenly lost her reason. "What 011 earth are you doing, j Mary?" gasped the lady of the house. "Nawthin', ma'am; only I has got a sore throat an' was jest try in' to lin<i de lock dat would pull mail palate uji an' relieve de tickle."—New York Ho# aid. , Your going to buy Clothes this fall; they're going to be of a style and color and pattern that I suits ycu, not somebody else, and you are going to buy them where you think you get the 1 best and biggest value for your money.

Rowland in Ap pleton's tells of the playfulness of the porpoise: "That evening was a lovely "one, the air of a delightful temperature, very clear, aud the sea like a mill pond. A big school of porpoises came over to play with the boat, and the water was so sparklingly clear aud of such a glassy surface that we were able to follow all their movements even when they plunged to their fullest depth. They had not the slightest fear of the noise of the motor, but swam danger ously close to the propeller and fre- j quently rubbed themselves against the sides of the boat. "One sportive youngster kept getting across the stem. For almost au hour I lay 011 my face forward, with my j head over the bow, watching him. He j was playful as a puppy and at last ; Invented a little game of his own. Ly- j ing across the stem, he would let the j curve of the bow roll him over and over, presently disappearing to swim ' back and repeat the performance. I I have watched porpoises in many wa ters of the globe, but have never seen ] any as kittenish as these." A LONG DRINK. The Way a Fast Running Locomotive Scoops Up Water. Souie of the great transcontinental . engines take 011 N.(hk) gallons, or 24.1 barrels, of water to be turned into steam for the next run of two hours, or about sixty miles. But such a vast amount of water is a burden, and new supplies are desired oftener. It is a loss of time to stop and let such vast quantities come aboard through a pipe; hence some way of tuking water while rushing at full speed is desirable. It has been found. How? If you make a scoop of your hand and swing It swiftly, the hollow side forward, into water some of it will be likely to spurt up your sleeve. That is nature's hint. Follow it up. Find a level place in the road and put down an iron trough four inches deep, four teen Inches wide aud one-eighth of a mile long. The engine comes rushing along and, having passed the end. drops a scoop into this trough. There is a general splutter of water, but a tre mendous stream rushes up the sleeve of the dropped hand and pours into the water tank. When it; is full the fire man raises the scoop or it glides up the slope at the far end of the trough, and the engine is watered for the next run.— Epworth Herald. Uses For Baby Carriages. East skiers in New York use their baby carriages until they literally fall apart. Of course the primary purpose Is served well and often, as the fam ily is generally a good sized one. Then the carriage is used for a market and shopping wagon, being plied high with potatoes, greens, fruit aud household goods of all kinds from neighboring 1 stores and push carts. The east sieler I doesn't often have his things sent ! home. He's not sure he would get what he had bought. Then the little boys are sent out to hover around new buildings or old ones being demolished and gather in wood to he pushed home in the baby carriage. On other occa sions it. is piled high with garments i being rushed to or from the sweatshop, j Sometimes packages of laundry are delivered from it.and, again, it is filled with coal. When it is finally worn out it furnishes a little fuel anel four lioops for the children to play With.—New York Press. Phenomena of Heredity. It is one of the phenomena of hered ity that a boy wants to be what his father was—if a shoemaker, then a shoemaker; if an ironworker, then an j ironworker; if an artisan of any line. 1 then ail artisan in that line—and the j father and mother who have come to hate the smell of leather or the grime i of the smithy, the oil waste of the ma- i ehiue or the sweat of downright hard work cajole or coerce that boy into j something that is genteelly dull or i respectably stupid and kill the germ I that would have produced the manu- j facturer, the mechanical engineer or j the capitalist.—Philadelphia Telegranh. The Weather Houee. A very Ingenious contrivance fos iforetelling the weather Is the old fnnli tloned "weather house," largely made to Switzerland. It Is arranged in such a way that two figures act in response jto the twisting of a piece of catgut. The material, supported by a wire, con trols the movements of a little plat form on either end of which Is placed a model. Excessive moisture In the air causes the catgut to twist and.turn the platform round, so that the man emerges from one of the doors In the front of the house. Reverse conditions of the atmosphere bring about the con traction of tlie catgut, and the plat form swings back, thus bringing the figure of tins woman into prominence at her particular door. The making of a weather house Is quite an easy mat ter. "Spoken English Very Good." From au advertisement of a Danish hotel: "The hotels charmingly situa tion. surrounded of a nice garden the good cuisine, the kindly accommoda tion with moderate charge and good conveyances, with easy occasion for salmon and trout fishing, the ascend ing of the surrounding mountains has done this place well-known and praised of ail travellers. N. B.—The landlord Is spoken English very good."—Lahore Civil and Military Gazette. A Riot of Color. From the land of the Moros a soldier writes: "A Moro matron passed our quarters this morning wearing a helio trope jacket, purple trousers with large heart designs worked in yellow, blue and pink embroidery, a red and black sarong, yellow plush slippers and yellow silk mantilla. The lady's maid (old), in modest garb, walked be hind, carrying a magenta parasol." Hobson's Choice. "There Is an egg for breakfast," re marked a landlady to her lodger. "Which do you prefer?" "Prefer?" repeated the latter. "Where's the preference when you only offer an egg?" "Why, you can have an egg or— nothing!' was the sharp reply.—Lon don Scraps. Then She Missed It. Wiggs—Poor old soul! She doesn't believe as much in the efficacy of pray er as she did. Waggs—You surprise me. She has always been so extreme ly religious. Wiggs—Yes, but the oth •r day she got ready togo into the city, and then she discovered that she had only ten minutes in which to catch the train. So she kueit down be fore she started and for five minutes prayed fervently that she might catch it.—Catholic Standard and Times. Working. Nellie apologized for tlie action of her new baby sister by saying, "You Bee, she hasn't got any sense yet." Her mother objected to such an idea, and Nellie replied. "Oh, of course she's got sense, but it isn't working yet."—De lineator. The Return. Magistrate—lf I remember rightly, this is not your first appearance In Court.
