The Teasel That Is U.jd to Raise the Nap on Cloth. Our reade r-i who never saw a teasel (spelled also teazel and teazle and even tasseli can Imagine a Mr cone or •"swamp cattail," t;el ail over with lit tle st iff books, it is the luir ior tas sel or (lower head or thistle top; of the plant dipsaeus; and so identilled Is it with cloth dressing: that this use of it Rave it its botanical name, Dipsaeus fuilonum, or fuller's teasel. However familiar to people who live in lands where the teasel is extensive ly grown the fact may be that the prickly heads of that plant are univer sally used to raise the nap on cloth, a multitude of persons in his country probably never heard of it and will be astonished to learn in what enormous quantities the plant is raised. in France alone several thousand acres of land are exclusively devoted to the cultivation of the teasel. French manufacturers use many thousand dol lars' worth of the prickly heads and export thousands of tons of them, val ued at perhaps millions of dollars. Hundreds of tons are produced in Aus tria, England, Belgium, Poland and the Crimea. The prickles of the teasel have a small knob at the end, and this, mount ed on an elastic stem and set with great precision on the central spindle, affords a little brush, such, it is said, as the utmost mechanical skill has never been able to rival, at all events at the same price.—New York Herald. A LOST MINE. Tho Tragic Legend That Is Associated With Bald Mountain. The legend of a lost mine has given to Bald mountain, In Placer county, Colo., a fascinating interest for pros pectors. Tradition is that early in the fifties of the last century three men disappeared from an immigrant party going over the old Gap trail. Search for them was without avail, and they were finally reported dead by the searchers. Where or how they wintered no one knows, but the following spring, rag ged, shoeless and demoralized, they filed into Michigan Bluff. Their blan kets were converted into sacks, and with them they brought gold dust to the amount of SIO,OOO or $15,000. Spending but a single night within the confines of civilization and giving no information as to the location of their large claim, they were followed on their return trip, and a few weeks later their murdered bodies were found in one of the dreary canyons that scar the face of the desolate peak. Since then many a man has sought this lost mine, but apparently its im munity is as certain as that of the treasure of Captain Kidd.—Philadel phia North American. Pensive Butlers. The fashion of building houses with the entrance doors practically on a level with the street gives the observ ing stroller on Fifth avenue some hu morous glimpses of butlers on duty. In the house of one of the most fash ionable families in town the butler can be seen standing behind the bronze grill and glass doors staring disconso lately out at the passing throng for most of the afternoon, while across the street from this house the same kind of an entraueeway often dis closes a glimpse of a functionary of the same class seated in a poetical at titude by a circular marble table, his head supported by his hand. Outside of a hospital they are probably the saddest looking men in New York.— New York I'ress. The Gordian Knot. When one of Uncle Sam's sailor's, a inan named Gordon, formerly serving on one of our vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hos pital in Washington lie described with grewsome vividness to his companions there bis adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had Jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" ask ed one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg."—Harper's Weekly. A Composer's Compliment.

"The sixteenth and seventeenth cen turies," said John Kiske, "were thu flourishing ages of the witchcraft de lusion. Witchcraft in the early ages was considered one of the greatest o! crimes, as much so us murder, robbery or any other serious offense against the law, and the belief in It was shared by the whole human race until the lat ter part of the seventeenth century. "In England in 1004 two women were tried before Sir Matthew Hale charged with bewitching several ■ hi* and a baby, and they were p;n ta death, for at that time the eviden seemed perfectly rational. In 1 1:, li «-enoa 500 people were burned to deafli 011 the charge of witchcraft, li \VM.I the proud boast of a noted executioner in northern Italy at this time th i i:i fifteen years he had assisted i:i invit ing 900 persons charged with son ei In Scotland between 1500 ami iOttt) 8,000 people were put to death. 1 average of 200 a year. The Ia • 1 eve cutioti for witchcraft in England ioo'< place in 1712, in Scotland in 1722. i Germany in 17-10 and In Spain in 17S1 " Crime and the Telephone. From the beginning to the end of a transaction in crime the telephone comes into use, serving both side;' with equal fidelity, says a writer in Appletou's Magazine. The thief uses it to determine which house he may safely rob. The man next door sees the burglar and calls up the police. The police arrive, catch the burglar and telephone for the Black Maria to take him to Jail. The thief telephones a lawyer to defend him. The lawyer telephones for 1110 bondsman to ball out his client, and the banker tele phones the sheriff that the bondsman's check is good. When the day of trial comes the clerk of the court, being a kind gentleman, telephones to the burglar's lawyer; the sheriff telephones witnesses to be present. When the burglar is convicted and sentenced the sheriff uses long distance to tell the warden of the penitentiary when his prisoner will be delivered. After that the telephone line is kept hot by in fluential politicians petitioning the gov ernor for a pardon. An Embarrassing Moment. The author of "Collections and Rec ollections" relates a personal experi ence of having said a "thing one would rather have left unsaid." Even after the lapse of twenty years, he adds, the recollection of the sensations of the moment turns him hot with cha grin. A remarkably pompous clergyman, a diocesan inspector of schools, once showed me a theme on a Scriptural subject written by a girl who was trying to pass from the rank of a pupil teacher to the rank of schoolmistress The theme was full of absurd mis takes, over which the inspector laugh ed uproariously. "Well, what do you think of that?" he inquired when I handed back the paper. "Oh," said I in perfectly good faltli. "the mistakes are bad enough, but the writing is far worse. It really is a disgrace." "The writing? What, my writing?" said the inspector. "I copied the theme out myself." The Bread and Pipe Baker. The lecturer at the cooking school sometimes enlivened her remarks with an anecdote. "The eighteenth century baker," she said, "was a pipe cleaner as well, just as the barber a little earlier was a surgeon. Everybody in those days smoked clay pipes, provided, the same as cups or spoons, by the coffee houses. Well, each morning a waiter carried bis master's stock of pipes—some hun dred perhaps—to the nearest bakery. The baker would boil them out, then dip them in liquid lime, then bake them dry. They came out of the oven as sweet and white as new."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. A Popular Dye. A small boy was. one day sent for a pennyworth of indigo dye. lie stopped to play marbles on the way and quite forgot what he was sent for. As he was determined to get it, he went into the chemist's shop and said to the as sistant: "What have people been dyeing with lately, please?" "Influenza." was the answer. "Ah! That must be it," said the boy. "Please give me a penn'orth"—London Illustrated Bits. Saves Trouble. "Why don't you come in occasional ly between drinks," demanded the vrlfe, "and see the play?"

Jenkins declares that where 110 wni> in Switzerland the mercury often dropped to zero at night." "That's nothing." "What's nothing?" "Zero." The First Electric Lights. John Holiingsliend was tho lirst man to use electric light in London. In 3878 he installed six arc lamps at the old Gaiety theater and startled the Strand. The price of «as shares fell immediately. The cost of the lamps was .S2OO a week, and he ran them for nine months. All attempt to plant one Inside the theater at the foot of the grand staircase was a failure. The women objected to tlie fierceness of the light. One of them, for instance, "pretended to he very anxious that the secret of her soft complexion should not be discovered." Professor Eras mus Wilson said of electric light at that time, "With regard to the electric light, much has been said for and against it, but I think I may sny, with out fear of contradiction, that when the Paris exhibition closes the electric light will close with it, and very little luore will be heard about it." Mr. Hollingslicad, by the way, had fitted up the Gaiety as early as 1800 with an electric searchlight, which flashed the length of the Strand, lint he soon withdrew that for fear of scaring the horses. To Find Your Affinity. Your affinity is your mate, but un less you know tiie six types of happy married folks on Olyfnpus, up to date, you may miss yours. Jupiter, king of heaven, ruler of men, house and busi ness, must marry Juno, the queenly woman, plump, domestic, wise as Mi nerva, yet loving as Venus. Venus should mate with Apollo; but, being fond of all men and usually pretty, a Venus woman marries any one, often several times. Marry and be petted and adored she must or die. Minerva, 011 the contrary, can be happy only with a Vulcan, a man her counterpart, wise, lofty, patient, a reformer, teach er and philosopher. Both have con tempt for frivolity and meanness and vice. Most all of the elderly single women In the world, especially those descendants from Puritan or Calvanls tlc stock, are single just because they are the Minerva type and too wise to marry any one but Vulcans. And Vul can men, being the best of their sex, are scarce.—Nautllis. Not What It Was For. When Miss Julia Bryant, daughter of William Cuilen Bryant, was a little child an aged lady, who was for a time a neighbor of the poet and his family, had been shown into the par lor of the house, where she was mak ing her first call. She found the small Julia seated on the floor with an Illus trated volume of Milton in her lap. Al though she knew, of course, that it must be the artist, not the author, in whom at that early age the child was interested, she asked genially by way of beginning an acquaintance: "Reading poetry already, little girl?" Julia looked up and regarded her gravely. Then she explained, with an air of politely correcting inexcusable ignorance: "People don't read poetry. Papas write poetry, and mammas sing po etry, and little girls learn to say po etry, but nobody reads poetry. That isn't what it's for." Then He Landed. "Beauty is a woman's most impor tant attribute," said a New York beauty doctor. "She who increases beauty is woman's greatest benefactor. Husbands, brothers, even fathers—in their inmost hearts beauty is the thing they desire most to see in their femi nine relations. Only the other day a gray, fat old gentleman entered a newspaper otiice and said: " 'Are you the managing editor?' " 'Yes,' was the reply. " 'I suppose that on you. then,' said the visitor, 'rests the responsibility for this morning's reference to my daugh ter Patty as Fatty. Take that!'" An Ungallant Rascal. "I suppose," said the angular spin ster, "that you never had a romance?" "Dat's where youse is wrong," re plied the unlaundered hobo. "I wunst had a sweetheart wot wuz a dead ringer fcr youse." "And did she die?" asked the angu lar spinster as she helped him to an other hunk of pie. "No, ma'am," answered the hobo. "When leap year come round she asked me t' marry her—an' 1 run away from home."—Chicago News. Dead Heat. A schoolmaster who is in the habit of selecting extracts from his morning newspaper for dictation exercise read the other day a passage in which oc curred the term "dead heat."
