APHORISMS OF THE AUTOCRAT.
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

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

results to its legitimate meaning,
which is its life are alike forbidden.
A IM'N is prima facie an insult to the

that make puns are like wanton lioys
that put copHrs on the railroad tracks.
They uiuuse themselves and other

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."
'Vome. now, tell me the truth.
Didn't your brother help j-ou?"
"No, sir; he did it all." Milwaukee

a stone cutter, and early apprenticed
to that trade. . .

1 PASSING ACQUAINTANCE.
" M. 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

"We would like it very much," said
the man.
"Very much indeed!" echoed the
wife.
"The expense is three dollars for

"That's all right," said the man.
"And now which of us will have to

the parlor.

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. Mrs. Wilbur aild her hus
band put their shoulders cheerfully to
the wheel and worked together. It
was farm life and farm work. The
father died a year ago, and the broth
ers and sisters now take care of them
selves. So, this j-ear, when haying
and canning were over, the Wilburs
decitled to take a little holiday, an. I
see the mountains. Neither of them
ever saw a mountain Wfore. It has
Wen the great event of their lives. I
cannot tell you how glad I am that
they went with us yesterday."
"So am I." said Hetty.
"Another little thing came out, too.
I found out where they live. They
told me it was close by the Shore Line
railroad, a mile from the smallest
Uhode Island station, a small red
farmhouse with two apple trees and a
garden in front. 'With a box Wrder,'

she said. hy girls. I always look at
that hop se and garden when 1 travel
by that road, and have often wondered
who lived there. Now I know!"

left the room to get the pillow cover

when he dropped his hand, in careless

A COSTLY PROCEEDING.
The IVimlty of ku.tf for a Kiss iu Itril
sli ltiirin:li.
The police court rctiorts in the Lon
don papers sometimes quote the price
of a kiss, which usually ranges from
half a crown to half a sovereign, ac
cording to the temperament ! the
magistrate. How ridiculously cheap
this is. says a writer in Ion.lon Truth,
will W seen from the following ac
count of the cost of merely asking for
a kiss, which has Wen sent to me from
I mlia:
Probably you will hardly credit the
story, but it is quite true. and. though
the names are withheld by the Allaha
bad paH-r which gives the facts, tin
parties are well known. An officer of
the Madras medical service was hold
in one of the most -desirable civil
surgeoncies in the province, and there
he received a visit from a civilian and
his w ife. While driving w ith theiady
in a dog-cart the doctor asked her for
a kiss. It was very wrong. i-sH-ciall v
as then- was a native servant sitting
ln-hind the couple), and he nut wit lit in
stern repulse w hich his impudence and
imprudence invited. This exemplary
woman afterward wrote to the doctor
that she had told her husband of his
conduct. The doctor then wrote an
abject apology, which the husband
submitted to the Madras government.
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.
The offender is graciously icrinittcd
to serve the further nine months neces
sary to qualify him for the lowest scale
of pension, but he has Wen transferred
from his civil surgeoncy back to mili
tary service and packed off to a remote
station in upM-r Duruiah."
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.
Adirondack Kt-hoes.
j nere are some remarkable echoes
in the w-ood-cncirclel Adirondack
lakes. A single w hoop will ln tossed
almut a dozen times from a bit of winhI
land edging the lake, and when the
last echo seems to have died aw ay some
more distant woodland will suddenly
take up the call with increased loud
ness, and the sound will at length fade
out in extreme distance. The nearer
echoes seem to W filled w ith the inex
pressible freshness of the woodland,
and it is hard to Wlieve that the sound
is mere airy mimicry of the human
voice.

EASILY SATISFIED.
The Sole 4Mject of m Minnesiita Couple at
the Worlil's 1-air.
At the world's fair it was amusing to
note the diversity of objects which vis
itors found the most interesting. One
young woman, who was busy writing
in her note-In ok in the agricultural
building, hurriedly ran over to a table
and pushed to the front with so much
Zeal that the bystanders supp.ise.1 she
had forgot ten her purse or something
else equally iminrtant; but having
scanned the table eagerly, she merely
said: "O, yes. sugar Wets." and ran
away again to a sheltered place to
write it dow n.
Another instance was that of an old
couple, weary-looking and bundle
laden, who asked a guard where the
Minnesota building could W- fouinL
He indicated the direction.
"Is it fur?" asked the man.
"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

see that, if it takes half a day!"
BIRD LIFE
Tiik smallest humming bird weighs
twenty grains.
In all tropical countries the vulture,
is the natural scavenger.
Al l. birds that live on seeds are fur
nished with strong gizzards.
Wii.p birds do not sing more than
eight or ten weeks in the year.
It is estimated that one crow w ill de
stroy 7mi.ni m insects every year.
Tiik birds of the south polar region
migrate north on the approach of win
ter. The wren often makes a dozen nests,
leaving all but one unfinished and un
used. There are sixty-five species of hum

gists. The eyes of birds that fly by night
are generally aWut double the size of
day birds.
