HIS JOKi: KECOILI-IJ. One Congressman, Trying to llu t unny, Is Neatly Circumvented. From the Washington Post. A good Joke Is being told In the house lobbies on Mr. Itussell, the solemn and sedate member from Connecticut. Mr. itussell rarely Indulges himself In levi ty, but he did recently, and that's the point of the story. The Connecticut member resides ut nn up-town hotel. There also reside a New York member and his wife, and altogithcr sit und dine al the Sam" table. The other day at table Mr. Itussell resolved to treat himself to the luxury of a little Jolte. Addressing Mrs. New Yorker, he re marked with a mysterious smile; "Do you know that 1 saw your hus band to-day In one of the house galler ies with a lady." "You did?" "Yes." resumed Mr. Itussell, with sin ister dellberalenoss of utterance; "and he wus very attentive to her." "Ah, Indeed? Go on, Mr. Bussell, I am deeply lnlcresti-d." "Not Jealous, 1 hope?" said Mr. Itus sell, noticing Mrs. New Yorker's grow ing concern. "on the contrary, I am only Interest ed. Goon!" "Well, 1 think I'd belter not. You wouldn't like to have the whole truth told. I'm sure." Mr. Kuss.dl went on, in his tantalizing way. "oh, bul I assure you I am devoured with Inexpressible longing to hear all the pin tleulai s." Mr. Itussell Imagined he hud Ined veitenlly aroust.il the greni-eyed mon ster In the bosom of his fair tete-a-tete, und begun to cast about for means to beat a retreat. "Now, don't let It worry you," be be gan; "us a matter of fact It wun not serious." "Not serious?" "Not at all," and Mr. Bunnell tried to frown down the whole Incident; "Its true, he sat beside a lady, but " . "Well, go on. She wus good looking, I dare say?" "Not at all; not at nil good looking. She was a very ordinary woman un prepossessing very, 1 assure you; n homely woman. I'm sure thut nothing hut the most common promptings of courtesy could huve led him to show her such matter-of-fact attention as I observed." "Oh, she was unprepossessing and homely?" "Yes, Indeed," continued Mr. Itusnell; "you would .never think of being Jeal ous of her had you seen her. That was the climax of tho Joke, for, with a laugh, Mrs. New Yorker In formed the Jocose Mr. Itussell that she had witnessed the same Incident that the lady whom he had seen In the gal lery was herself. That tho story Is true Is proven by the fact that the lady herself after ward rcluUd It to a number ot her Irleitds.: ; TEAKS A BEALTIFIER. The Woman Who Weeps frequently Koi talus a Strom? Charm. From the New York Kveiilng Sun. A capacity for tears abundant, w-trm mid ready ones Is, says a' physician, one of the surest preservatives of the feminine beauty. It Is u grlevlous mis take to think tears can Injure the sweettst eyts or dig furrows In any face when their lain Is fresh and most fre quent. Tl'cy are the natural outlet of emotion, a sort of liquid lightning rods In which excitement und passion are mnnt easily and rapidly dissipated. Sweet Alice, that wept ut u frown, re tained until late In her career rounder contours, unfono'.vtd brows, dimpled lip;), shilling ryes and her hair so brown. So do nearly all Weeping women who let rivers of hot, salt tears course down over their cheeks. It Is she who keeps up a power of thinking, who hus few tears to shed. and those flow with an effort, whose fuol.il lines and gray hairs come early. A capacity for tears Is worth cultivat ing, since not only does a luck of them score heavily against one's freshness of face, but has its marked effect In general temperament. The women who weep easily have correspondingly light heuriH. tender, demonstrative und Im pulsive ways and a charm the dry t yed women lack. - , -Oulto Accommodating. The liardlner Heporter-Journul tells of a good man of Unit place who stays at homo Sunday forenoons and "dues the dishes tliiit the women folks inuy uttend church." II' this Isn't practical Christianity, whut Is? THE VAST SOLAU SYSTEM. The Sun Would Uo Hardly Visible Along side of the Pleiades. If our sun were removed to the Pleia des it would hardly be visible In an opera glass with which nearly 100 stars can lie seen In the cluster. Sixty or seventy Pleiades surpass our sun In brilliancy. Alcyone being 1,000 times more brilliant, Glectra uUO times and Mara nearly 400, says Longman's Mag azine. Sirus itself takes a subordinate rank whim compared with the five most brilliant members of a group the real mugnilieence of which we can thus in some degree apprehend. If we seek to know the dimensions, not of the individual stars, but of the cluster Itself, we are met with many difllculties, but, on the assumption that It Is approximately spherical In shape, we can calculutei its diameter to be over 40.ouo,ooo,oui) miles. If we think of the dimensions of our Solar system ,by themselves or In relation to terrestrial matter, they appear stupendously enormous. Neptune, the most distant known member, has an orbit over 5,00t), 000,001) miles across, but the solar sys tem Is to the Pleiades but a Llllputlan to a Brubdlugnagiuli Is but as a mi crobe to a mountuln for a sphere the size of the solar system would, If It were spherical and Its diameter that of the orbit of Neptune, be relatively so min ute that It could be contained more than 400,000,000,000 times in a sphere the ssize of the Pleiades; in other words, the limits of the Pleiades could contain K,0 solar systems as many times over as there are miles between Neptune and the sun. It must not be forgotten that though there are 2,o(K) stars In the cluster, yet Willi such dimensions for the entire group vust distances must seperate the stars from one another. In fact, 2,300 spheres, each with a diameter of 3,000. 000,000 miles, could be contained In tho limits assigned to the group, and, as suming equal distribution of the sturs In the group, each would be at the cen ter of a sphere 3,000,000,000 miles acroJS. and, therefore, a light Journey of 187 days from Its nearest neighbor. SOME VALUABLE TEETH. Ilulf a .Million Dollar in Quid Spent on Them early. From Le Temps. A Frenchman who has been traveling In tills country says that what struck him must In the I'nlted States was the j American habit of tilling the teeth with gold. About t'liio.OOO worth of gold Is ; thus used every year, he says, all of which Is, of course, burled. So he fig ures that :U the end of three centuries the cemeteries of America will contain gold to the value of f If.O.OOO.OOO "I am afraid." he adds, "that this will prove loo tempting to the practical mind of the future American, and we shall see the day when companies will be organized to mine the- cemeteries und recover the gold Secreted in the Jaws of dead an cestors." The writer then goes on and figures on the aveiage amount of gold In the teeth of each deud person. He has evi dently been consulting the record of vital statistics, for he says that STu.000 p.'., l.le dk'd In the I'nlted States In 1SS9. Tills would bring the value of gold In each person's teeth to nn average of about cr.ty cents, and he thinks Unit In well-crowded cemeteries the mining of thin gold could be carried on profit ubly, despite the small average value. jSSb - J-fc iB tr71 l. x&. vw. w w Bpsr -ftA art era crv- GOODMAN'S BANKRUPT STOCK, 510 LACKAWANNA AVKNIE.

What the Author of "The White Com--' ' panC'lluuto Say About Tlicm. ' From the Ladles' Home Journal. , Mr.- Doyle, speaks .of "The Scarlet Letter" as' the greutest novel yet v. 1 It ten In America. He was fascinated 113 a boy by the subtle genius of the author of "The Snow Imuge" and "The Ureat Stone Kence,"and those other finely conceived bits of psychology so drama tic In their expression and so touched with the imperishable charm of art. Tho novelty of the situations in Bret Hurte's stories, the newness of the dia lect, and the uncommon blending of heroic and crinilnul qualities in hero and heroine had a kindred'spell for an Imaginative boy, who had active hands and feet, as well as an active mind, and whose Imagination responded to the appeal of that which Is adventur ous, unusual and subtle. He was early drawn, also, to Ameri can historical writing. He reveled, as many un American boy lias done In Washington lrvlngls "Conquest of Granada," wliich he regards as a store-house for the imagination of a boy of chivalrous Impulse; und one may venture to guess that It wus this kind of rending which laid the foundation for the writing of "The White C.jui puny." lie was also an assiduous reader of Prcscott. One of the great regrets of his visit to this country w is the fact that he could not shake hands with Dr. Holmes, and tell the genial "Autoerut,' In his youthful age how many delightful hours hud been spent In Kdlnburgli In the society of the Bus ton wit, poet and philosopher.
