If Words worth never piTt to the world "Lines pujrj-osted by Seeing a Favorite Cat Crossing the Komi" It was simply be cause that spectacle never chanced to arrest his "inward eye."

And had lie attempted It he would perchance have begun with shoe strings, wandered on to darning nee dles and pruning books, ipioted u doz en or so of Latin authors in regard to plowshares, related anecdotes concern ing dealings of the Cyiubrlans, Scyth ians, Lacedaemonians, Romans and the like with knots and fastenings, men tioned Ills own personal experience In the matter of hooks and eyes and end ed by nu exposition of the practical, lucckiiiical and ethical relations be tween a buttonhole and a button, and every qtinlut and divaricating line would have endeared him to his affec tionate reader. Martha Baker Dunn In tlantic. ntrdri Croan Xo Peep Sena. V writer in the Loudon Outlook points out that no birds cross deep, even If narrow, seas. The narrow Mad agascar strait is impassable .to birds, though the north seas are a highway for them. (Sod wits p'iss from the Nile to the shores of Norfolk, though neigh boring Islands in an archipelago may show no common Rtook. All birds, with the possible exception of the sparrow, are stirred to movement by different causes wind, weather, food, the bully- ng of parent and other birds. l'lrds of prey drive off their young. Martins love familiar eaves. Successive raveus have built on the same ledge for a cen tury. The longer passages are only made over shallow seas that once were land, and when once a journey Is made the memory is strong enou,ili to urge a repetition. The change of home then becomes not a fashion, but an Inherit ed habit. Girl Slurps) In China. A native writer in a Chinese publica tion remarks: "Wheu a girl is sold in China she becomes the slave of her owner nud u part of his property. She no lou.wr retains her freedom rights, but surrenders them all to the will of those who own her. She twelves no compensation for her labor, but is obliged to accept such raiment nud food us her owner may be pleased to give her. In cases of tyranny or gross cruelty she cauuot appeal for redress. She may le resold, given away or cast off in the streets at the arbitrary will of her master. All freedom Is denied her, and she remains a tool and chat tel in the hands of her owner until she Is sold again or until death releases her from her unwilling fate." The Black Miirla. 'T.lack Maria" is a familiar term, with an origin more or less mysterious. It has been suggested that "Maria" really represents the old word "mari nated," whhji meant transported or "married," a slang expression formerly applied to persons chained or hand cuffed together on the way to Jail. But more attractive is the story that In the old colonial days n gigantic and brawny negress kept a sailors' board ing house at Boston and frequently lent her strength to the cause of law and order. Ouce she took three sailors to the lockup uuassisted. "Scud for Black Maria," It Is said, became n regular way of hinting tbnt a man ought to be Jailed. One Fng-linli Sent. The parish council of Uudgwick, Sus sex, England, possesses an official seal in which the occupations of all the members are indicated. Thus the vicar is represented by an open Bible, the farmer by some trees, the coal denier by a sack, the miller by a mill, the inn keeper by n bottle and jug, the boot maker by a boot, the auctioneer by a hammer, the doctor by a medicine bot tle, the carpenter by a plane and the baker by a loaf. The Violin. Each instrument excels In some par ticular passage, tbe plauo in scale pas sages, the harp In arpeggio, the man dolin in the rapid repetition of one note, the banjo in the rapid playing of broken chords, and so with other In struments; but the violin can beat them nil on their own ground, while there is much violin music that can be played In no other instrument.

Emery comes from the Island of Nazos, In the eastern Mediterranean, whence It has beeu exported for the last two centuries or more. The beds are In the northeast of the island, the deposit descending Into some of the neighboring islands, the emery being fouud in lenticular uinsses, resting ou layers of schist in limestone, almost Identical with Parian marble, the 11 li es t marble known, which conies from the island of Faros, close by. There are about 300 men engaged in . the trade, all of whom have to lie married before they are admitted to the fra ternity. The material Is much too hard lo be dug out or oven blasted. Great tires are lighted round the blocks till the uaturnl cracks expand with the hent, and levers are then Inserted to pry them apart. This system Is continued until the blocks nre reduced In si:;e to masses of a cubic foot or less, and they are. then shipped us If they were coals. There are said to be 20.000.1MK) tons yet avail able at Nnxos. It is one of the hard est substances yet known, coming ner.t to the diamond, and among Its crystal line forms known to the Jewelers nre the ruby ond the sapphire. Mchtlnir a ripe. A smoker who started to light his pipe on the street turned to his com panion and said: "A mau told me the other day how to light an ordinary mutch In a high wind. Let me show you." There was n stiff breeze blowing. The demonstrator took from his pocket an envelope, struck a parlor match on a rail and shielded It Inside of the en velope, facing the wind ns he did ro. The match burned with hardly u flick er, nud the mnn who held It puffed oil his pipe with great satisfaction. "That's a trick worth knowing." he remarked. "Here's another. Some times you get n spark on top of your pipe which the most vigorous pulling falls to spread over the surface of the tobneco. In that case tnke a piece of paper of almost any kind and hold It down iu the spark. This will spread the fire and give you the sort of light a pipe smoker wants." Providence Journal. Raklnar Gnu After Mowing-. Some persons advise raking nfter each mowing. I do not, because the clippings drop down Into the grass nud form a mulch, which I consider of great benellt. They also help to fer tilize the soil. The lawn that is uot mowed often enough will not look well after you have been over It with the mower, because there was growth enough to partially hide the sward up on which It falls. Tills will wither and turu brown iu a day or two and great ly detract from the beauty of the lawn. But if you keep your lawn well mowed and that means going over It at lenst three times a week iu ordinary sea sous the amount clipped off at each mowing will be so slight that there will not be enough of it to show. Let the knife hhules be set high enough to leave at least two inches of the foll ngo. Outing Magazine. The Coyote. One of the most Interesting wild ani mals is the prairie wolf, known in Mexico as the coyote nud in the old world ns the Jackal. It Is thirty-six to forty Inches long, with u tall measur ing sixteen to eighteen Inches Iu length. The color Is usually a dull, yellowish gray on the back aud sides, with Mack cloudings. The underpart and inside of the limbs nre of a dirty white tint. The voice Is n sort of snapping bark, and for this reason the animal is known as the "barking wolf." It Is found on the western plains, extend ing from Mexico to latitude 55 degrees north. It hunts In packs and is very fleet. A Good Color. Negroes use the same phrases they hear whites use, often with amusing application. This conversation, over heard in the streets of a southern city, is related in Lippincott's Magazine: "Howdy, Mis' Mandy? How Is you?" called one dusky nunty to another. "Oh, I Jes' tollable. Mis' Johnson. How you feellu'?" was the response. "Why, I's n-feelln' mighty peart, I Is." con fided Mrs. Johnson. "I suttcnly does feel flue." "Welluni, yo' sho' Is look In' well," agreed her friend. "Yo' col or's so good." Proxy Ilnnlmnda In Turkey. Divorces nre easy to obtain iu Tur key, aud a husband and wife may re marry three times.

T'pon returning to hi place of business he found that his partner had already settle.l the suit, obtaining the sum demanded without nn attorney. lie thought $100 wns al together too much for nn office fee. so he dispatched his clerk to look nfter the subject.

"Young man," said the lawyer, "you go bnck nnd tell your employer that a retaiuer Is something to be retained." Co rind a Pnmpered Pet. A very clever veterinary had n sys tem all his own.
