Tiik race that shortens its weapons broadens its Wundarics. It is Wtter to lose a pint of blotitl than to have a nerve tapped. Tiik jrreat minds are those with a wide span which couple truths relateH to. but far removed from, each other. Talk alx.ut conceit us much as you like, it is to human character what salt is to the ocean; it keeps it sweet and renders it endurable. A Tlioi out is often oripinal, thouph you have uttered it a hundred times. It has come to you over a new route by an express train of associations. Tai.kinh is like playing on the harp; there is as much in laying the hand on the strings to slop their vibrations as in twanging them to bring out their music. I.ifk and language are alike sacred. Homicide and verbicide that is. vio lent treatment of a word with fatal results to its legitimate meaning, which is its life are alike forbidden. A IM'N is prima facie an insult to the jH-rson you are talking with. People that make puns are like wanton lioys that put copHrs on the railroad tracks. They uiuuse themselves and other children, but they may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism. lit It All. A story of Scotch honesty comes from Dundee. A small boy had taken the prize for an exceptionally well drawn map. After the examination the teacher, a little doubtful, asked the lad: "Who helped you with this map, James?" "Nobody, sir."

I. B. HKA.NCIL loanferasriajnJ!:,,a OUP ot and parlor, engaged iuHiat.Ja hU reading or light games, while a cheery fire burned brightly on the hearth, for it was late in the season. "We are just a nice party now," said one young lady, looking up from her lapful of shaded silks; "I hope nobody ijse will come!" his letters, 'iovcincies as we drop chairs at the table to-morrow.'" -! "Very well," was the reply. "If you immt go, we will spread ourselves and keep the table full. If we can't have Mrs. llruce and you we don't want any one." The next morning the home-Wiund travelers left on the early stage, and at the last moment another guest de cided to accompany theiu. The party remaining went out, some to ramble in the pine woods, some to the concert in the casino. Returning toward dinner time, they found that a telegram had Wen received from Miss Miliceiit Paul. Wspeaking a room. There was a shout of delight on read ing the telegram. Milicent Paul was known to some of the party, and two of them hail been her schoolmates at a fashionable seminary three years W fore. "Milicent will be the roseleaf on our cup of happiness." said one; "and how fortunate that there is room for her at our table." The dinner Wll rang, and the merry group betook themselves to the dining room. Two chairs were turned down at the table. "Who has come?" the guests inquired or one auoiner. As they took their seats, a man and his wife entereil, in a hesitating man nev, and were given the two chairs. Swift glances were directed at them, and side looks exchanged. They were evidently plain, hard working people, entirely unaccustomed to traveling ami to hotel life. In an instant the original party became a clique. They hardly concealed their dislike of the newcomers, who Had brought among them a personality that jarred on all their sense of what was stylish, con ventional and agreeable. The two strangers ate heartily, helped them selves to wfiat they wanted, finished their meal and left the table, before the rest of the company had reached their nuts and raisins. "Did you ever?" "I call it an out rajre, forcing such people on us." "The plowman had better stay at home and plow." 'Ilis hands took away my appetite." "I hope they are not going to stay overnight." The offending couple spent the after noon walking about to see the views, and then sat out in the piazza till sup per time. After supper, the criticism recommenced. "They're going to stay. Their trunk has trone uu to No. 14." "What will Milicent Paul say? She will have to sit next to them." "She'll freeze them with one glance when she sees that hand reaching in front of her for the butter." "Oh, come now!" said the brother of the last speaker; ' "you knew they needed the butter, and you should have passed it, seeing the waiter was not on hand." "Hush! I'm too provoked for any thing. We were such a nice party till those folks pushed in. And when Milicent is coming too! It just spoils the table." Next day, while the newcomers were out, Milicent Paul arrived, araiil the welcoming exclamationsof her friends. She was a tall, slender girl with an animated countenance, fashionably dressed, carrying gold eyeglasses, and holding her head aloft in a way pe culiarly her own. She had plenty to say, said it well, and was at once the center of everything. At dinner time she took the vacant seat, and was just receiving her plate of soup when the much-criticised couple came in. The guests were all consciously watchful, but Miss Paul seemed to notice nothing. She was giving a vivid description of her jour ney. Suddenly she paused an instant. "I beg your pardon!" she said, pleas antly, as her embarrassed neighbor at tempted, rather awkwardly, to reach the salt, and, placing it conveniently near, she resumed her description. "May I trouble you for the pcpjier?" she asked him a little later; "not black, I prefer white. Thank you." And she spoke in exactly the same tone as when she asked handsome young Mr. Waring across the table if he know when the mail went out. He admired her none the less for it. "She has a broader outlook than the rest of us," he thought to himself. A trip to the Notch was planned for the next day, to go in the morning and return at night. There were enough to till two mountain wagons. No. not quite enough. Those who counted found t-ere would W room for two more. "Don't mention it, or Mr. Wilbur and his wife may offer to go," said one lady, with a touch of irritation in her voice. "Oh, we can't have them," said one of the girls, who had Wen Miss Paul's schoolmate, "r.i we, Milicent?" "Why not?" asked Miss Paul. "Oh! why, Wcause you know no doubt they are excellent people, but how they would look along with us!" "My dear Hetty," said Miss Paul, "why be narrow? Why voluntarily live in a groove? I have found the most interesting people in the most unexpected places. Don't turn your back upon your fellow creatures." Mr. Waring stepped into the hall where the Wilburs stood di ftideutly examining a last year's register. "Would you like to take the trip to the Notch to-morrow, with the rest of the party?" he asked cordially. "We would like it very much," said the man. "Very much indeed!" echoed the wife. "The expense is three dollars for each seat." "That's all right," said the man. "And now which of us will have to sit next them?" murmured the girls in the parlor. liut when the teams were ready the next morning, it was Miss Paul who gracefully and unconcernedly climbed over the wheels and sat by the Wil- 8I.CO and I f" tl. 7 1 h,,e ,e,t 'nstinctiveir ' ?!

W hile they rloa'ed on the water Miss Paul sang -,-iliive Venetian boat songs, to gondolier," she saiu. - , The Notch was at its grandest that day. and the mountain ridges stood high and clear against the cloudless sky. There were other parties out, a tally-ho coachful and several teams coming from different directions; but noontime found them all either dining at the nearest hotel or lunching in the woods close by. A party of southerners, driving up in a surrey, espied Milicent Paul, and hailed her enthusiastically. She brought them to her own party under the trees, and said, as she presented them: "These travelers are from Georgia. We met in Washington last winter and Wcame friends." Mr. Wilbur experienced a slight mental shock. His father had lost Wth legs iu the war, and he himself had never thought of a southerner ex cept as a foe at heart. Yet here were these jieople Wwing to him with the rest, iu cordial, pleasant fashion. Language hail not Wen given to Mr. Wilbur for the purpose of concealing his thought. He looked earnestly at the stranger nearest h'.m. "1 never expected to meet a south ern man," he said, in blunt tones; "my father was made a cripple in the war." "And mine lost his life," replied the southern man, gently. "Uut it is all over now. You and I have one coun try " "So we have so we have!" said Mr. Wilbur, and the two shook hands silently. This scene escaped the no tice of the rest of the company, who had at once engaged in lively conver sation; but to both men it was one of those little strokes that help to chisel character. "Oh, what a beautiful, Wautiful day among the mountains this has Wen!" said Milicent Paul, when they were homeward bound. "I hope you have enjoyed it too, Mrs. Wilbur." "I have very much. I shall never for get it," said the quiet little woman, her face glowing. The W ilburs left the next day. Miss l'aul shook hands with them when they Went, and most of the others did the same. They went away hippy and sat isfied. They said to each other it had been a good holiday. It was a little awkward at first among strangers, but it had all ended pleasautly, and they had seen so much. "Are you going to correspond with them, Milicent?" asked her old school mate, teasingly. "Hetty, dear," said Milicent; "yon really must open your eyes wider and see the world you live in; you will find it repay you. The Wilburs are only passing acquaintances, like many oth ers; we may never meet them again. l!ut, in conversing, I found out one or two things which may interest you. When Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur were mar ried, ten years ago, his mother had just died, and there were brothers and sisters Wside the crippled father to be cared for.

Without Wing allowed to say a word on his own In-half, the doctor was forthwith officially advised to re sign the service to avoid dismissal. Since then the Madras government has Wen induced to nunl'ify its decision.

DANGERS OF PILGRIMS. Some of Them Thnt Are t pnmntrrnl on lourneyff to Mecca. The risks of a pilgrimage to Mecca may well make the m.ist earnest Mus sulman hesitate to undertake that pious duty. Of the sixty-six thousand pilgrims who have sailed from various Oriental lorts for this sacred spot dur ingthe last six years some twenty-two thousand have never returned. sas the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A few.it is thought, may possil.ly find their way back by other mutes. Many, it is feared, are murdered by gangs of bad mashes, who are Wlicvcd to travel regularly by the Jedda steamers, mark ing down pilgrims who are juissesscd of valuables and attacking them w hen favorable opjmrtunity occurs. It is said, however, that by far the greater iiumWr fall by the wayside on the long tramp from Jedda to Mecca or Medina. So far as the sea voyage is concerned the return journey is for ol vions reasons the more dangerous. The overland tramp to anff from the sacred cities has the effect of lowering the vitality of the traveler, and he ar rives at Jedda in a state w hich predis poses him to the attacks of epidemic diseases, engendered by the overcrowd ing and unspeakable filth of the pil grim vessels.

"Yes. almut half a mile from here." "O dear! Well, come. Mary, we ll put her through now we're here," said the old man, shouldering his heavy bundle. Hut the woman was more garrulous. She detained the guard long enough to explain that they lived in Minnesota twelve years and then moved to tliio. Now they were going back to Minne sota. "We was goin through Chicago, so we jest stop cd off two hours to see the fair. We don't kcer much for fairs anyway: all we want to sec is the Min nesota buildin". and we are lmun.1 to see that, if it takes half a day!" BIRD LIFE Tiik smallest humming bird weighs twenty grains.
