Worst of All.
Mr. Lane, Mr. Hobarl and Mr. Meek
toad been off fishing Ihe day before.
They had gone unexpectedly from the
postofflce, where they met, and neither
Mrs. Laue. Mrs. Hoburt nor Mrs. Meek
had been informed of their where
abouts until nightfall. "And it did
beat all what poor luck we'd had!"
said Mr. Lane when the tftrce friends
met the next day.
"I tried to explain to Sadie that we
kep' staying in the hopes of fetching
home something that would show why
we'd stayed, but she said we'd acted
like a parcel o' yearlings and it would
lie one while before she'd have a hot
apple pie for my dinner again and
dumplings. She ran me uphill and
down, I tell ye!"
"Maria spoke of my clothes," said
Mr. Uobart forlornly. "She pointed
out the way the dampness had cockled
that coat I had on. She said "twouldn't
ever be the same again and if I knew
of anybody that was going to spend
summer days heating great irons and
pressing out clothes for a man like
me she didn't!"
"Marthy never said a word," said
Mr. Meek as the other two men turned
to him, but as they remarked with one
accord, "That's the kind of wife to
have!" Mr. Meek looked much de
pressed.
"The only trouble is," he added, "she
hasn't spoken yet, and I don't know
when she will."
She Drew the Line,
Seeking redress for domestic troubles,
a negro woman who resembled noth
ing so much as she did the "before tak
ing" half of an antifat remedy appear
ed at court.
"I's a wronged woman," she hissed
in a givo-nie-bnek-those-papers voice.
"Ah want redress."
"What's the trouble?" Inquired the
sympathetic judge.
"It's 'bout mah ole man. He's done
been caayin' on high wif a lot uv
deese niggah gals, an' it's got so band
twill Ah don' see him more'n once a
week. Somcphin's got t' be done."
The judge's eye held a crafty gleam.
"You are seeking a divorce—a legal
separation?" he questioned.
"Go 'long, man! Divo'ce nothin'!
Think I'm gwine t' gin him what he
wants and 'low dat man whodispoteal!

Mary Was Spoiled.
•A doctor In one of the West Phila
delphia children's homes tells the
story of a woman who came to him
one day in a most perturbed state of
mind. She had taken home her daugh
ter of five years the week previous,
after a stay of a year In the home,
and found she had an elephant on her
hands. "Oh, sir," she said to the doc
tor, "whatever can I do with Mary?
You have made her far too grand for
her own home. Why, the first day she
was lmck she refused to lie dressed In
the morning till she had a bath; then
she would cat 110 breakfast whatever
because she wanted fruit and some
'serious food' first, and, last of all, she
put a saucer of water at her place at
the table and she dips her fingers in
that every few minutes. Sure, doctor,
I don't know what I'll do," and the
woman passed out. shaking her head
as if the problem was certainly too
much for her. —Philadelphia Record.
The Poor Member.
"Brother Lastly," said the spokes
man, "I have an unpleasant duty to
perform. There is a report that you
have said that, one of the best and
most worthy members of our congrega
tion is unable to attend service often
011 account of not having good enough
clot lies. We have come to ask the
name of that member. We don't know
of any such person, and a report of
that kind Is likely to reflect upon us as
a congregation that does not look after
Its poor but worthy members. Will
you tell me who it is?"
"Certainly, brethren," replied the
Rev. Mr. Lastly, with a brave attempt
to lie cheerful, "it's my wife."
Playing Goethe Three Ways.
"I made a bad break today."
"How was that.?"
"There is a Chicago woman visiting
Julia Dean, and while I was there she
insisted upon talking about Gerty.
Pretty soon I asked her if Gerty was
her daughter. You should have seen
her flare up! And then I somehow
found out she meant Goaty."
"Who?"
"Oh, you know—the great German
author."—Somervil le Hera Id.
His Modest Request.
A man once asked Thackeray to lend
him 5 shillings, which lie would con
vert into £20,000. Asked how. he ex
plained that he knew a young woman
with £20,000 who he knew would mar
ry him if lie asked her, but lie had
pawned his teeth and wanted 5 shil
lings to redeem them in order to pro
pose effectively.
The Reason.
"Why doesn't Smith call in his fam
ily physician? Has lie lost confidence
in him?"
"No; the doctor has lost confidence in
Smith!"—Lipplneott's.

The Andromeda Nebula.
Otic ol' the most astoni .liing objectf
In the heavens. especially when photo
graphed, is ihe groat nebula in tlit
constellation Andromeda, which i- vis
ible as a misty speck to the naked eye
It lias long puzzled astronomers, be
cause while its structure—a series ol
vast rings surrounding a central mass
—suggests a gaseous constitution. it«
spectrum is continuous, resembling
that of the sun. It has been suggested
that it may be composed of stars con
stituting a.universe external to ours
Recent studies of its parallax, how
ever, indicate that it is nearer to us
than some of the well known stars
such as Oapella, and Mr. J. Ellard
Gore, the English astronomer, points
out that if the Andromeda nebula
were assumed to be an external uni
verse, having a diameter comparable
With that of the Milky way, its mass
would be forty million million million
times the mass of the sun. This is
regarded as incredible and so may be
taken as an additional argument in
favor of the view that this nebula Is
• member of our system.—Youth's
Companion.
A Curious Superstition.
There Is a curious superstition com
mon to Shetlanders and Cingalese
How islanders so wide apart—some
15,000 miles—managed to adopt each
other's views one does not know, but
here Is the fact. The rice cultivators
of Ceylon and the fishermen of Shet
land resemble each other in one or two
rather remarkable points. They re
frain from speaking of the implements
of their calling by their names. They
call them something else, by names
known only to themselves. The reason
Is that If the evil spirit were to think
that they were speaking of spades and
rakes or of nets and hooks he would
be tempted to damage them or even
to appropriate them. The train of
thought Is the same with both races:
"There is an evil spirit always on the
lookout for opportunities of doing mis
chief. He even hears what we say. If
we let him understand that we are
talking about our implements and
tools, we shall direct his attention to
them and shall suggest to him a way
of doing an injury. Therefore we will
agree to call a boat or a spade by some
fancy name known only to ourselves."
Coronets.
The coronet of a duke consists of al
ternate crosses and leaves, the leaves
being a representation of the leaves of
the parsley plant. The princes of the
blood royal also wear a similar crown.
The state headgear of a marquis con
sists of a diadem surrounded by flow
ers and pearls placed alternately. An
earl, however, has neither flowers nor
leaves surmounting his circlet, but only
points rising, each with a pearl ou the
top. A viscount has neither flowers
nor points, but only the plain circlet
adorned with pearls, which, regardless
of number, are placed on the crown it
self. A baron has only six pearls on
the golden border, not raised, to dis
tinguish him from an earl, and the
number of pearls render his diadem
distinct from that of a viscount.
A Bit of Blue Sky.
Professor John Tyndall, who, with
many great Kills, possessed a singular
skill in devising and conducting beau
tiful experimental illustrations, actual
ly produced in 18(50 a bit of blue sky
in the lecture room. In a glass tube
three feet in length and three inches in
diameter he exhausted the air until it
was less than one-tenth the density of
the atmosphere we breathe and repre
sented the rarer air high overhead.
Into this exhausted air he introduced
nitrite of butyle vapor, which is ex
tremely volatile. Then a strong beam
of light in a room otherwise dark was
passed through the mixture, and in the
glass tube there glowed a beautiful
blue cloud, rivaling In color the finest
Italian sky. Here was blue sky
brought down to earth.
Acco-ding to History.
A woman who belongs to a com
munity called the Sisters of St. John
the Baptist not long ago spent a month
in a backwoods district. Shortly after
her arrival she went to the local post
oflice and inquired if any letters had
come for Sister Bernardine. The rural
postmaster looked bewildered.
"Sister who?" he asked incredulously.
"Sister Bernardine," repeated the
lady, "a sister of St. . T ityi> the Bap
tist."
"I think not," he answered. Then,
after some reflection, he added. "Say.
ain't he been dead pretty near a hun
dred years now?"— Harper's Weekly.
Her Limitations.
"These pianos look too cheap,'' said
the young woman, her brows contract
ing slightly. "Show me some of the
best you've got."
"Yes, ma'am," said the salesman.
"May I ask how high you care togo?"
"Me? Oh. I only goto O, but I want
one with all the octaves just the
ssaine."—Chicago Tribune.
Let Him Try.
"I fear 110 foe in shining armor."

Too Well Imitated.
It Is no on y matter for a violin mak
ar to rival Ihe famous Stradivarius In
struments, but tills an American maker
did, and did so effectively that experts
pronounced his violin a genuine Stradi
varius.
The successful man was the late
George (Jemunder, a famous violin
maker of New York. His remarkable
ability as a preparer of violins was
known to many a distinguished player,
such as Ole Bull, Itemenyi and Wil
lielinj. But he made, so runs the story,
his greatest success at the Paris expo
sition of Eiffel tower fame. To that ex
hibition lie sent an imitation Stradiva
rius and to test its merits had it placed
on exhibition as the genuine article.
A committee of experts carefully ex
amined the instrument and pronounced
it a Stradivarius. So far Mr. Gemun
der's triumph was complete. But now
came a difficulty. When he claimed
that it was not an old violin, but a new
one made by himself, the committee
would not believe him. They declared
he never made the instrument and pro
nounced him an Impostor. He bad
done his work too well.
Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs.
The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there is one thing they can
not do—that is, twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot
tom of the first joint of the forefinger.
It is very much restricted in its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round so that the tips describe a circle.
There are the same number of bones in
the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of
a man, but the thumbs of the monkey
have 110 separate flexor or bending
muscle. This is why a monkey always
keeps the thunb 011 the same side as
the fingers and aever bends it round
any object that may be grasped. In
the gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is a callos
ity 011 the knuckles on which the ani
mal rests when walking on all fours.
Fickleness In Penmanship.
Speaking of check signatures and
forgery, a downtown paying teller re
marked: "One of the most peculiar
points in our business is one little com
prehended by the public. I mean the
embarrassment caused by the man
whose signature Is seldom the same, or
nearly so, two weeks in succession.
"This fickleness is not intentional. It
is in almost every case temperamen
tal. The man guilty of it is generally
nervous and not infrequently is greatly
lacking in stability of character. At
times you. as a layman, would hardly
believe it possible that his signature
on two different checks was the work
of the same hand.
"Of course we come to know these
cases in time, and there are always
certain characteristics in a person's
handwriting which the expert can de
tect and which go far to convince.
Nevertheless the changeable signature
is a nuisance and involves an added
peril."—New York Globe.
How Men and Women Face Death.
How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells us
his experience. Tell the man of higher
type and greater intelligence, he says,
that he Is facing death and he begins
to fight, demands a consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly to the finish. Tell a woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal
ists. 011 the other hand, tell a man
that he lias one chance in a thousand
to recover if he will undergo an opera
tion, and lie will trust to his own
strength and endurance rather than
undergo the knife. The woman will
choose the thousandth chance and sub
mit to the operation with astounding
calmness.—Woman's Life.
Burning With Curiosity.
A certain famous authoress who Is
much worried by unknown correspond
ents has taken her revenge in a some
what eccentric fashion. She received
a letter from a woman informing her
that the writer had named her last baby
after her and requesting the authoress'
views on her choice. She received a
thick envelope, heavily sealed, with
this inscription: "Not to be opened till
baby's thirtieth birthday." Now the
mother is worrying herself day and
night as to the contents of the envel
ope.
