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.
Wagner once said lie would prefer
togo to Vienna to hear the waltzes of
Strauss to hearing Italian opera. On
a birthday of Mine. Strauss some years
ago she had as guests many celebrated
musicians. She passed around a fan
on which the different composers and
players were writing their names and
excerpts from compositions of their
own. When it reached Brahms he
penned the first measure of the "Blue
Danube" waltz and signed beneath,
"Not, I regret to say. by your devoted
friend Johannes Brahms."
An Opinion.
"Say, paw," said little Rollo, "why
do they call George Washington the
father of Ills country?"
"I dunno, son, unless it was because
his country kept him hustling to keep
it out of trouble and then came to
look at lilm as a sort of old fogy
whose advice didn't amount to much
anyhow."—Washington Star.
What He Wanted.
"Be careful, young man. You know
the old saying, 'Marry in haste and re
pent at leisure.'"
"That's why I'm rushing things.
What 1 want is leisure."—Exchange

friends of our prosperous days vanish.

Witchcraft.
"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

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?"
"I don't need to," replied the bibulous
husband. "The bartender is familiar

also knows a lot of gossip about their
personal and family affairs."—Phlladel

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."
"Jones," said he, addressing an in
attentive pupil, "what do you mean
by 'dead heat?'"
"Please, sir," the youngster replied,
"ltfto the heat of the place bad people
goto when they're dead."—London
