As a rule the yoong woman who
takea tickets at the picture exhibition
is aa art student herself. Tbe other

la apparently easy euonrb to be the
ticket taker at a picture hliow. Ail

lnuch work it is," Raid a girl who
t;:kcs tickets at one of the big exhi
bitions. "You have to keep your eyes
ien all the time, for there are a large
liuiiiUr of people who try to run uit
without tickets. I have to go after
people a dozen times a day, calling
l'icket. please, and they turn on uie
with an indignant stare. Most of
theui then j,'0 and buy tickets. But
one weil dressed woman the other day
took tip her lorgnette, looked me over
from head to foot, and said in so icy
tone: Ticket! I have no ticket! aud
prK-eeded calmly on her way. I ran
after her ajraiu.
" 'Ma-Uime,' I said. 1 shall have to
trouble you for a ticket.
"I hnve already told you I had
none,' che said.
" 'I'm afraid you will have to get
one," said I. I was beginning to 1
afraid I should have to got a 'bouncer
to put her out, for I was determined
.he should not go la without paying.
'J'lial is what I'm here for. and I am
conscientious. Well, at hist she flounc
ed out to the ticket orli-e, lought her
tieket aud put it down on 111 y desk,

"That is one sort of the people I have
to deal with. Then the other is the
kind who wish to borrow a catalogue

catalogues. The best way is to polite
ly look up whatever picture is asked
for aud to absolutely refuse to let auy
oue take a catalogue for a moment.
Oiie nice old lady took me at my word,
aud I really Ix-ileve she asked me
every single duiuImt In the room. I
did nic-i than St cents' worth of work
for her, I can tell you. Tbe worst Is
telling people the price of pictures. Aft
ter about six weeks of It it grates on
one's nerves. This Is what continually
happens: A threadliare old gentleman
comes to the desk :
"'Do you know the price of pic

- 'Yes; rrould you like to know the
price of any? I reply.
" 'There is one in the other room,' be
says.
" "What is the number 7 I ask.
'1 can't tell you the number, but it's
In the other room.'
"I hi-u I have to send him for the
number.
- 'No. 221.
-That is $W.
- 'Why? asks my old gentleman.
"If it's rarly in the afternoon, I ex
plain to L!ui that I sup)ose the artist
thinks it v . rill that; that he is well
known, or what not; later I say. 'I
dou't know.' Not one person in oO of
those who ask the price have the
slightest idea of buying. Some will
go through half in exhibition aud in
sist on know ing the prices of all. I
get so tired of being polite and affable
to all these ieople that by the time I
get out in the evening I am ready to
insult my dearest friend for the sake
of being rude to some one. It's so
hopeless telling the price of & picture
over and over again and each time

awful price!
"A great many people hold me per
sonally responsible for the pictures.
Ixits of people come aud talk very dis
agreeably to me alKvut them. 'What
makes them have such bad shows?'
they ask me. Young men come up
and say, 'Isn't this awful trash? in au
accusing sort of way, as though I
had done it all myself. And one man
fairly shook his fist In my face and
demanded bis money back. 'It's a
swiudle! he shouted at too. But it
really wasn't my fault.
"At private exhibitions it's different.
There people come up to me and say,
'What a privilege to sit among the
works of the masters all day!" I
don't tell them that if I sat among
the works of the masters much louger
I should go mad. but I would like to.
"The other day a friend of mine
took my place. A man came up to her

"'Miss, is your picture among these

You usay thluk this Is a very si'ly
question to ask. but is it? There is
no catch about it. It is a simple, de
monstrable fact which you can prove
to your own satisfaction in a very few
minutes.
If you will take any pavement tliat
Is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall le so interference, and
ttaik briskly in the center, you will
find that before you have gone H0
yards you will have veered very much
to one side. You mti-t tiot make any
conscious effort, of course, to keep in
the center, or you may do It, but if
you Will think of soiaetbing aud en
deavor to valk naturally it is 100 to i
you cauuot keep a direct liue.
The explaiifltioD of this lies in the
nculiafity of one foot to alk faster
than the ether. Or. to be more cor
rect, iierhaps It should le said tliat
one leg takes a longer stride'' than the
other, and this, combined with the
flicker movement, causes one to walk
more to one side than the other.
It Is weil known, for Instance, tliat
if one lw lost in the woods the tend
ency is to walk in a circle and even
tually to return about to the starting

l lint one foot walks faster than the

a plentiful solution of lime punch; at

him in person with a hot ami savory

Most of the gigantic animals of geo
logical era belonged to species which
have completely vanished, aud of those
which have living representatives it is
tlilficult to say whether they have un
dergone a true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely survivals of smaller contempo
rary varieties. The larger animals
have a tendency to disappear first iu a
partial failure of food supply. Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
of the pn.sent day were formerly
abundant in South America. The re
mains of huge sloths are found in Cu
ba aud North America. Sharks at ta Su
ing a length of more than 100 feet are
found iu comparatively recent fossil
deposits, another fish which repre
sents a larger prehistoric secies is the
American Umjr pike, which is oue of
of the few survivals of the enormous
ganoids of the secondary strata. The
tiny nautilus of the present day had
kindred 10 or 12 feet long in early
times. Another small shellfish, the
pterojHsi. whose delicately complex
structure is packed in an inch of shell,
is fouad iu fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length of a
couple of feet.

ONE BRAVE MAN.
Aad the Reaaoa He Stood Firm While

A battalion of volunteer Infantry
was drilling In a field when a regiment
of regular cavalry rode by. The colo
uel of the cavalry halted his men to
watch the volunteers, and, getting
into conversation with the colonel of
the latter, he criticised their drill un
favorably, especially their want of
steadiness. The volunteer colonel was
a fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, "My
men are as steady as any regiment of
regulars."
"I do not think so." retorted the cav
alryman, "and If you'll draw your men
iu order to receive cavalry I'll prove
it.
The challenge was accepted, and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the
citizen soldiers, who awaited them In
the usual way. Now, regular cavalry
can charge to within a few feet or
even inches of infantry at full gallop
and then at the word of command pull
up short. The volunteers, however,
lost their nerve when they saw the
huge horses thundering down upon
them aud showing no sign of stopping
when a few yards off. They fled, all
but oue mau, who remained on bis
knee, with bayonet leveled.
His colonel, enraged at the others'
flight, approached the hero and, tap
ping him on the back, cried: "You are
the only brave man in the regiment.
You scorned to run."
"Yes, sir," gasped the hero. "I had
my fut stuck in a hole, or 1 shouldn't

It Was a Terrlne Test of Cadaranre,

Woa I.or l. Though Two of the
Horses Dropped Dead.
"Did auy of you ever hear of a So
mile stei'p!eclia.se for man and beast?"
Inquired oue or the California men in
a ir of turf followers when stories
of .Ti- Itets and long shots were go
ing aroinxl. "Well, there was an af
fair of that kind down lu the Hawai
ian bunch iu the fall of 1SS3. when
that genial chile concarue proposition,
Kalakaaa, was king vf the islauds.
There were no telephones Joining the
islands then, and state messages and
ni&udates were carried by the iater
Ishiud steamers and delivered by Ka
naka runners. These runners could
gallop all day, like American Indians
iu retreat or on the trail, and they
didu't know wLat getting winded or
tired meant.
"Kalakaua thought a good deal of
these mnuers of his. He always main
tained that they could go faster and
farther than horses over the rough
Hawaiian country. Iu this he was dis
puted by a nuiulcr of the white at
taches of his court. Kalakaua wager
ed fo.00 in gobs of ?1,0J with five of
them that he would pick out a runner
from auuMig his Kanakas who'd get
from Ililo to the top of the burning
, lake of Kilauea, a distance of 55 miles.
quicker than any horse aud auy rider
could do the trip. They snapped the
king up at even money. It looked as
if they had the good end of it. The
king and a big party from Honolulu
sailed iu one of the interisland steam
ers to II Ho, on the main Island of Ha
waii, to see the finish.
"The king picked out a huge, lithe,
sinewy Kanaka, a man-about 30 years
old, who had been employed as a run
ner on the island of Maul for a num
ber of years, to try the trick for him.
Eight Kanakas made the start
a horseback, on native ponies, bred
away back from western cayuses
strong, sure footed, nippy tempered lit
tle demons, thoroughly used to the bad
roads and tha climbing. Tbe king and
his party had gone np to the Volcano
House, at the top of Kilauea. In coach
es the day before to be ou hand to
greet the winner.
"Now, I understand that that road
from Hilo up to the burning lake of
Kilauea has been improved since the
time I'm speaking of, but it surely was
a bad trail then. It was only wide
enough for one wagnu, and it was
alxut a 45 degree affair In the climb
all the way up. The palms that lined
the road used to get blown across the
(rail by the score In big windstorms,
aud the coach drivers counted it a part
of their business to jump from their
seats every time they came to these
obstructions and shoulder tlieui out
of the way. 1 his work had all been
attended to carefully, however. In ad
vance of the race by order of Kala
kaua, and It Ioked like a pipe for tbe
cayuses, all of which had made the
run up many a time.
"Kalakaua didn't ask for any handi
cap allowance for his man. Tbe run
uer toed tbe scratch with the horses,
and they got off together at the crack
of the gun. Tbe horses distanced the
runner from the jump, and he let them
distance him. He was dressed in a
G string, and he just took up a steady
lope and let the cayuses get out of bis
sight. For ten miles tbe cayuses were
so far above him on the trail that be
rouldu't even see them, but this Kana
ka knew how to wait- Tbe horses be
gan to come back to the runner long
before the Half Way House was reach
ed, and the Kauaka was jnst galloping
along at the beginning of tbe third
hour with the same big stride he had
started iu with, his arms up and shoot
ing out In front of him like soldiers ou
the double time drill. There wasn't a
paut in him when be fetched up at tbe
Half Way House. He stooped down
there to a spring beside the road and
took a couple mouthfuls of water. The
cayuses were up ahead a bit. blowing
their heads off. for they had been go
ing at a clip that they bad uevcr been
pushed to tefore.
'The Kanaka beaded the bunch a
mile beyond the Half Way House, aud
it was a bfg romp for him the rest of
the distance. He toot a position for
the remaining 17 miles of the journey
altout a city block ahead of the writh
ing and panting horses, and he Just
stuck to bis lope like a man wound up.
He never let 'em get nearer than a
Ijlock to him for the remaining three
hours of the trip, lookiug back at them
with a griu ouce in awhile. When on'f
three miles yet remained before the
,'olcauo House was to be reached, the
Kauaka took another drink out of a
spring aud began to draw away. The
Kauaka riders whipped and spurred
their horses, but It was no good. The
Kanaka runner disappeared out of
their sight on the tortuous trail, and
when six of the cayuses pulled up at
the hotel veranda about three-quarters
if au hour later the runner was sitting
on the steps, fanning himself and
drinking sakl. Two of the horses bad
dropped dead in their final effort.
"The Kanaka made the 35 mile trip
over sticks aud stones on a miry road
in 0 hours and 40 minuter;, and be look
ed fit to ma for his life when be got

HEK UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Cfaleasro Girl's Travels Reeorded
by PbotoK-rapbs 0f Herself.
The Chh-ago girl that knows her
business aud where Is there one who
docsu't?-has an aitmui or card case
devoted exclusively to a collection of
pictunB of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else In
the world namely, herself. There arc
several laws regulating the collection
of a personal gallery of this kiud. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important no
two shall le taken In the same town.
Prom a glimpse at this second condi
tion, it Is obvious that the youug wo
man who has a opular collection of
Ler owu photographs must be some
thing of a traveler.
In order to give added In tamest to
this pursuit of herself In miniature,
each photograph Is stamped In violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name of the artist and the
date of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Inci
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
uote.
Iu this way the business of photo
graph collecting Is kept on a system
otic, methodical basis, and the book of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history of travels In au In
definite nuiutHT of chapters. It Is
evident that the more pictures It con
tains the more comprehensive will le
the text hc-nce the ambition of every
young woman ioscssed with the craze
to become a globe trotter.
There are a few standard towns tliat
are absolutely necessary to the reputa
lion of any album, such as Chicago,
New Y'ork. Niagara and the prominent
Intermediate ioints. Beyoud these,
the more distent and romantic the
places the greater the luterest attach

world as seen through a maiden's eyes.

Maryland Superstitions.
There are superstitions throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
ing crossroads and running water.
Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossiug of two roads and
to apiear there at midnight. Oue pe
culiar thing about w itches is that they
cannot get across running water, and
a stream of any sort always acts as
a protection to the nightly prowler,
who will follow along the bank of a
stream in preference to the road.
These are some of the things which
are mote generally lielieved In the
country arouud Washington and along
the eastern shore. Some of the arti
cles of the creed of the superstitious
in that neighborhood are:
If you sweep your room at night
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of a win
dow after dark. They are supposed
to fall Into the eyes of the Lord aud
to disturb the spirits of the dead who
wander abroad ft night
Don't wash your hands in water In
which eggs have been boiled. You
are liable to become covered with
warts. Baltimore Sun.

Chinese herbs usually have some
legend connected with them to Illus
trate their virtues, aud this is the story
conuect-i with the "Haw" "herb: Haw
Show v.k was a very good, very de
vout anl very old man. One day he
wa iccuRed of stealing the affections
of his brother's wife and was sent to
prison for trial He became very hun
gry and prayed to the gods as locanie
a man of liU great piety. During the
night a bush sprang up through the
fioor of his dungeon, and In the morn
ing the famished man ate the leaves.
Days went by while be was waiting
for his trial, and he continued to piece
out his scanty diet with the leaves of
the bush. When he was taken luto
court for trial the officers exclaimed:
"This Is not the man who was arrest
ed and confined iu the cell. The cul
prit Is an old man; this Is a young
man."
Sure enough Haw had become a
young man to all appearances again.
He was innocent of the charge against
him, aud when released by the Judge
Haw told him the story of the little
plant that had grown u, In his cell
and bow he had eaten the leaves.
The officials lug up the shrub and
presented it to the emperor His fami
ly for many years was the only one
that had the privilege of -eating the
sacred leaves. But as time pasw'd
slips were cut from It aud sent through

'The weather, my dear sir. Is a con

"What I uieant was that the sky

"Equally impossible. The sky is the

presumably to rob It. but was driven
away by the dog. which followed the
fugitive, barking. Afterward he came
back alone. Several suspi-cts were ar-i-ested.
The shop loy had never seen

lojtlaet aad Death.
During my 14 years of hermit life I
have run across many incidents that
prove tliat wild animals comprehend
the meaning of death. Two years ago
I found the nest of a "wild" domestic
cat lu au old stoue wall. There were
three live kittens and one dead oue.
I left the dead kitten as au experiment
Whenever I hud found a nest before
this, a visit a fc-w hours later would
l'ud the nest deserted, the kittens re
moved to some secret spot When 1
again visited the nest In question it
was deserted save for the dead kitten
If that cat had uo conception of death
she would have placed the dead kltteu
beyond my reach, and for the same
reason that caused her to remove the
live kittens. Forest and Stream.
