"The oddest thing about It is that I don t really dislike him at all." ' You will tell me next that he doesn't really dislike you," aald Maud Leslie, with an unbelieviug laugh. "I am afraid," taid Vera, "there is no doubt about that." I could have point ed out grave doubts; but I wasn't more than half-awake. Besides 1 couldn't be quite sure that they referred to me," "Did you say 'afraid,' Ve?" "You needn't quibble over my woi-ds," she answered, impatiently. There was a pause. "Dear old Ye!" sa;d Maud, in a mo ment Here again I ought to have pre tended that I had Just woke up, j;nd announced myself. "I hate him," Yera observed, incon sistently. "So," said Maud heartily, "do I!" I could not well proclaim my presence after these remarks. "At least I thiiik I do." "I am sure I do," said Maud, posi tively. "I consider him horrible." "Oh, Maud; you know he isn't." "lie must be, or he wouldn't be so rude to you." "I I provoke him, you see." "That is no excuse at all. Look at the way he contradicted you aliout those Tuscan vases, or whatever yu call them." . , "I contradicted him first" "Why shouldn't you?"' "Because he was right" "Which made it all the more annoy ing." "Yes," said Vera, with a sigh. I wished I had let her have her own jway." I "He Is a great deal too 'superior,' tatcd Maud. I felt myself blushing." "He really knows a great deal," sug gested Vera, timidly. I made up my mind not to quarrel with her any m--.v.

She didn't seem to mind, so I gathered her arm comfortably In mine. i "I can't Imagine you talking "usual things,' you know,' she said, with an uncertain little laugh.

"See. it la Just rising over the hilf We sat a few minutes In silence. watching the yellow rim appearing, and the pale light streaming down the fields. dotted here and there with tall trees.

Cotton Manufactnres. "The South," says a Fall River cotton manufacturer, "has gone into the cot-tan-milling business very extensively. 'iVitli the cheap labor and long hours of the South a cheap grade of cotton goods can be turned out at much less expense. The Northern manufacturers i could not stand this competition.

Jimmy was rather a'armed at te.ag eft alone In the tree, but he managed jo stay there. Suddenly be saw a beast ome prowling up the road. It was ibout the size of a leopard, as be imag ned. and it was covered with spots :ven larger than a leopard would have, to It must be (thought Jimmy) a very iwful kind of leopard. And. to make ings worse, this leopard had a pair of lorns, and large, ferocious-looking ears, tnd every now and then it roared like Jiis: "Moo oo, moo-oo." Jimmy was frightened half to death. But be bad :he slim hope that the beast would go tway without seeing him. - Ob, horrible! The animal came right :o the tree, and put its bead right up imong the branches, and began to sniff. Then It ate an apple. Jimmy was sure ihat In a moment It would climb the j-ee after bim, so he got up to the top f the tree, though how he did it he :ouldn't tell till next day. He was weak ind white with fear when be reached Jie top branch. The dreadful beast now ;ame close to the trunk and began to :ub up and down. Now he would spring up into the tree, beyond a doubt! But Just as Jimmy thought be) was touching for a spring be sav bis uncle xtuie out of the house, and he scream ed to him, "Ob, Uncle Ed, save me, save me! This leopard is going to eat sue!" Now, some uncles would have thought the mater a huge Joke, but Uncle Ed aas not that kind. He knew that to little Jimmy the horned beast was as lad as the most terrible leopard that ;ver roamed the Jungle, and so he went ver to the tree and said, "My boy, you ire safe while I am here, because. In lie first place, this kind of leopard can't limb a tree; aud. In the second place,' t Isn't a leopard at alL but a cow; and, n the third place.

There was something in Uncle Ed's roice that had a very calming effect on limmy. and ins!de of two minutes the lveadful leopard that bad come to rat ilm. was turned Into a good-natured old ov. and he rode her all around tbe lace, holding on to Uncle Ed's hand.

Forty species of frogs are knowa te the world, according to the frog man of the Smithsonian Institution, who has given the matter laborious atten tion. Less than a quarter of a century ago only a few people ate frogs, bat now they are generally eaten. Tbe Government's frog man will not ac knowledge that Canada produces finer frogs than the United States. He con tends that the marshes back ef the Po tomac, the Louisiana swamps and the swamps and marshes of New Tort and Illinois, are to be found the finest and most succulent frogs In 'tbe - known world. It Is admitted, however, tbat the Canadians undertsaod tbe .art of preparing frogs' legs for market In manner superior to Americans, and that this facf has brought tbe Canada frogs prominently before, .the lovers of good things to eat. He. believes that frog farming Is certain to be one of the most profitable Industries of many parts of the United States, and that already many men are engaged In It. - Of the -forty species' of frogs known the largest la tbe gigantic bellower of tbe Louisiana swamps, which grows to four pounds weight and Is one of the most choice for table nse. Next come the Potomac and the Illinois and New York frogs all large and of superior flavor. There Is not a 8tate .In tbe Union In which One eating frogs can not be found In abundance. - It Is asserted that the pickings on tbe body of a frog are Just as good as the meat on tbe legs, but in tbe days be fore the deluge frogs grew to such size tbat tbe legs furnishing sufficient meat to satisfy all demands without eating the body, and apiMirently the custom has been kept up. Geological sharps have dug up petrifactions and fossils to prove that In those days frogs grew to be as large as s man. Tbe present day frog man gives little consideration and reverence to such stories. A frog's leg Is one mass ef muscle, and there should be little wonder that be Is a Jumper. Tbe frog to astonish ingly like the man In some physical respects, and therefore useful for some experiments. On tbe other hand, ex periments show tbat a frog deprived of his brains will live and eat and pur sue ezlstence In a sort of automatic manner. Amputated Lee Seaaatloaa. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes: "My right leg was taken off at the middle third of the thigh nearly thirty years ago, but since that time tbe sensation of the presence of toes. Instep, heel, foot or knee Is stron ger than In tbe other leg, or stronger than It was before amputation. To me It seems that when tbe leg Is at rest, normally, there Is no consciousness of any sensation at all In it, whereas there Is always more or lees sensation in the stump. My leg was amputated in such a position that H seems when I stand to be flexed with tbe foot behind me. I have often tried to get It out of tbe way of a closing door or of per sons passing me on the street To this day I often fall by trying to put out my foot on the floor when springing quickly from a sitting position. Tear by year, also, there Is a sensation of shortening, the foot seeming to come nearer the body. If I make an effort as If to extend the knee a sensation of heat occurs In the stump, although the rest of my body may be freeslng." "MIC Lots of Feddare." Robert Frank, the well-known artist. Is a self-made man. and not until he had become self-supporting did be have a chance to pursue tbe regular studies which most people have In ear lier life. When he began drawing for a living bis workmanship was so excel lent that be had no difficulty In secur ing orders. One day be delivered some sketches to an employer, who said: "By the by, Frank, I want a picture drawn In a great hurry. It la a novel thing, a boxing kangaroo. "Ja wohL" answered the artist, "I will have It ready to-morrow for you." "You know what a kangaroo Is, of course T' Frank must have been thinking of an ostrich, because he answered with complacent smile: "Ja, gewlsslich. It la a long, tall thing mlt lots of feddars."

It Is still a marvel to writers, who most feel tbe need of an epicene pro noun,' why tbe suggestion, years ago, made by Prof. Marsh, tbat tbon should fill the long-felt need, was not accept ed. During tbe '60s another Ingenious gentleman proposed such a pronoun, to be declined thus: Heesh be or she. Hlzzer his or ber. Hlmmer him or her. Example.

The Roman proverb corresponding with oar "To nit tbe nail on tbe bead" was "To touch tbe question with the point of the needle,' a proverb which Indicates not only how highly needle work was esteemed by the ancients. but that with the point of the needle! we toucn a fundamental industry, ana one which rises often to an art. "A seam was the first effort to overcome a difficulty." This seam, which appears so commonplace, was tbe progenitor of constructive Industry, the first civlllzer of the race. Where that first seam was made, or by whose hands first fash ioned, who can tell? Tbe needle used was, no doubt, an eyeless bodkin, such aa tbe Kaffirs use to-day, and the ani mal or vegetable fibre, which was tbe thread, was drawn with difficulty through the skins that were joined to form a garment Muscle waa required for the sewing of those days. The In ventor of a needle with an eye had taken a long step, or, more strictly, a long stitch, forward In the seam which Joins so many chapters In the history of the race. The first needle with an eye of which we have any knowledge la found In tbe Neolithic caveman's grave. It to made of bone and neatly fashioned. Later came tbe needles of hammered bronze and Iron, and In Pompeii have been dis covered even surgeon's needles. This venerable Implement of Industry baa shown bat small variations In form. Its long, slim body, its pointed foot. Its Cyclops eye In tbe middle of Its bead, are practically the same, whether made of bone and found In a caveman's grave r of bronze or gold In Scandinavia or of steel to-day. In these days, when needles may be had at S cents a paper, each paper con taining two dozen, it to bard to realise the value placed long ago on one, or how mucb the possessor of that one needle was envied. Tbe value of this possession Is emphatically set forth by the performance. In 1066. at Christ's College, Cambridge, of a comedy called "Gammer Gurton's Needle," the hero of which was the Gammer's lost needle. Time and machinery have changed all that, however, and, with more than (50,- 000,000 needles made weekly In the Reddltch district, England, to say noth ing of those turned out each day In other countries, even the poorest wom an can have her own needle.

' m ay STAR DI8TANCES Axe 8a Bnorsnooa aa to Be Practically inconceivable. The stars are suns and they look like mere shining points of light because they are so far away. The nearest la to far that a cannon-shot fired In Ad am's time from the Garden of Eden, and flying continually with undimln labed speed, would even now hardly have started on Its Journey. It would be aa If a train bound for another' town had Just pulled well out of the station. On a summer evening you msy see A. returns high .up In the south or south west in June or July, and further flown In the west In August or Septem ber. You will know It by Its red color. That star has been flying ' straight ahead ever since astronomers began to observe It, at such a speed that would ran from New York to Chicago In a small fraction of a minute. You would nave to be spry to rise from your chair, put on your bat and over coat and gloves, go out on the street while it was crossing the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Liverpool. And yet If you should watch that star all your life, and Uve as long Methuselah, you would ncfr be able to see that It moved at all. The Journey It would make In a thousand years would be aa nothing alongside Its distance. Many, perhaps most, of the stars are really much larger and brighter than the sun. Canopus, as It appears to us. Is the second brightest star In the heav ens. It never rises In our northern lati tudes; to see it well you would have to go at least as far south as the gulf States. Although It shines to us only as a very bright star. It is really thou sands of times aa bright aa tbe sun. If our earth should fly as near to It aa it is to tbe sun, the whole sky would seem to be ablaze, and everything com buiitlble on the earth's surface forests, houses, and fences would be burned by the fervent heat as if thrown into a hot fire. But the distance of Canopus Is Immeasurably great, so that astrono mers have not been able to learn any thing certain about it The most in teresting conclusion from this Is that Canopus, although It Is only a star In the sky. Is really thousands of times brighter than the sun.

Tbey had been hired for tbe special purpose of keeping ueAToes from crawling under the tent. and tbey saw an opportunity to make a little money for themselves on the siae. Tbey were able to work . out their scheme through the fact tbat they were favorably stationed for It One was on the outside at tbe connection between the main tent and the menagerie, and the other on the inside, within tbe con nectlon. "Among tbe vast crowd of negroes hanging about the show was a large amber who had come to town expect ing to get In for 10 or 25 cents. Tbe out side canvasman gave oat a quiet tip that If any one bad any change in his pockets, by giving It to the right person he could get Into the show at cot rates. They began to crowd around him, ten dering varied amounts of money, from 1 cent up to 45. He (Accepted all ten den. He told them that be would have to pat them In one at a time. He did. The inside man waa waiting for them. Just aa soon aa a black head would appear under the canvas be would grab It drag the rest of the per son owning It Inside and shove him out of the other side of the narrow connec tion. From here it was a long way around to tbe man who got the money. If one of the dupes found his way back, which was uncertain, and wanted his money returned, be was prouip:ly ihoved under tbe canvas again and just as promptly kicked out on the other tide. It was a kind of an endless chain. "Why didn't the two men let them ttay In? Well, old Adam Forepaugh was about and If be saw an unsual number of negroes In the tent be would at once have made the rounds to find where they were getting In. That was why. The show was about half over that night when an unearthly racket started at tbe connection. A minute or two passed, and we saw two canvas men running for life around the h'pp drome track with an angry yelling crowd of negroes after them. Tbe audi ence enjoyed It Immensely. Thought it was part of the show. We knew differ ent A lot of as Jumped In and headed the negroes off. Tbat gave the canvas men time to escape. After we learned the cause of It we regretted our .

Two Widows Oat Wealtkr Altar 1 Isnpoaed Upon bjr Sbarpara, A good story Is going too rounds about bow two prospectors bad salted a mine In the Galena district In order to rob a couple of rich wldowa, whloa re sulted In the aforesaid widows becom ing much wealthier. - The prospectors bad spent their last cent In digging a hole in the ground to the extent of sixty feet without striking anything but yellow clay. Bnt one of them knew of two rich wldowa who were Just spoiling to have their money sunk in a mine. Accordingly they spent two nights In salting their mine. They hadn't sufficient money to buy same paying dirt but tbey stole thia from neighboring mine and hauled a lot of It over to dump Into their mine. When several tons of this "paying dirt had accumulated In the bottom of their mine the widows were sent for, and while one was talking about the in creasing value of the district tbe other was dumping out all kinds of lead and sine ore before their astonished eyes. The widows bought a half interest In that hole In tbe ground for $1,000. Tbe next day there was no' more ore In tin shaft and the fellows declared they would dig no longer. Then tbe widow bought the other half Interest at a tota cost of $2,000, and the men hiked ou. for Missouri, laughing In their sleeve . But the women, blindly believing tha . there must be more ore, continued wit -tbe digging, and at a depth of ten add. tional feet struck the richest vein of th. ahole belt realizing $76,000 Id less tha one year's time.
