ANIMALS WITH HANDS.
MOM the Knnnaroon !'■«■ Their FOP*-
feet In K*tlng.
Kangaroos use their hands very read
ily to hold fond 1» and to put It into
their mouths. As their fore legs are so
short that they have to browse In a
stooping position, they seem pleased
when able t > secure a large bunch of
cabbage or other vegetable provender
and to hold it in their hands to eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo, look
lug out of its mother's pouch, catches
one or two of the leaves which the old
one drops, and the pair may be seen
each nibbling at the salad held In their
hands, one, so to speak, "one floor
above the other. The slow, deliberate
Clasping nnd unclasping of a chame
leon's feet look like the movements
which the hands of a sleep walker
might make were he trying to creep
downstairs. The chameleon's are al
most deformed hnnds. yet they have
a superficial resemblance to the feet
of parrots, which more than other
birds use their feet for ruany of the
purposes of a hand when feeding.
To see many of the smaller rodent!—
ground squirrels, prairie dogs and mar
mots hold food, usually in both paws.
Is to learn a lesson In the deiterous use
of ha mis without thumbs Nothing
more readily sugsests the momentary
Impression that a pretty little monkey
is "a man and a brother" than when
he stretches out his ueat little palm,
fingers and thumb, and, with all the
movements proper to the civilized
mode of greeting, insists on shaking
bauds.
The Stormiest Re|l» Kio"«.
The waters of Cape Horn have never
been on visited by storms for mors
than a week or two at ft stretch with
in the memory of man. Standing on
the outpost of the world, Cape Horn
is the meeting place of ocean currents
of very different temperatures, from
the Icy cold waters of the antarctic
drift to the warmth of the Brazilian
and Peruvian return currents. The
prevailing winds are from the north
west and west, and these, coming from
the warm regions of the Pacific, con
dense into fogs which the sailors call
"Cape Horn blankets" and which are
the sure forerunners of storms. The
extremely low levels to which the
glaciers of Tierra del Fuego descend,
the perpetual congelation of the sub
soil, the meeting of conflicting winds
of very different temperatures, are all
direct or indirect causes combining to
make tliis the most constantly stormy
region of the world
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Although Called a Tlitclena Sea, Ita
Water Hlnea and Falla.
Why are there no tides in the Medi
terranean? asks a reader. As a mat
ter of fact, there are tides in the Medi
terranean. The general rise and fall
are. however, so insignificant, owing to
the comparatively small area and the
mass of water involved, as to have
escaped detection until scientific meth
ods were brought to bear, and hence
the Mediterranean has come popular
ly to be looked upon as a tldeiess sea.
A similar want of knowledge and ex
perience of tidal phenomena cost
Caesar tlie loss of most of his fleet on
his invasion of Britain in 55 B. C.,
when his vessels were dashed io pieces
upon the coast.
At Algiers a self recording tide
gauge was set up by Aime, and from
its records lie deduced a rise and fall
of eighty-eight millimeters, or three
and one half inches, at springtide
and 1 4 that amount at neap tide, a
fluctuation which would escape ordi
nary observation, as it would be mask
ed by the effects of atmospheric dis
turbance.
At Venice and in the upper reaches
of the Adriatic the true lunlsolar tide
seems to be more accentuated than at
other parts, but here also its effects
arc subordinate to those of the wind.

THE FRENCH DINNER.
It la .Not Only a Meal, but an Enter
tainment an Well.
Generally shaking, the table of the
American is provided for the purpose
of feeding; for the Frenchman It Is for
the purpose of refreshment, says Flora
McDonald Thompson in Harper's Ba
zar.
"It must nourish—yes, but of equal
necessity It must please, please the
mind also as the body—and there must
be provided, too, diversion and repose.
Thus Is cooking an art with the French
people, and a meal, whether of the rich
inan or of the poor peasant, is one of
fcls finest ceremonies. The employees
of Paris business houses are allowed
from one to two hours for the midday
meal, and it is an unwritten law of the
French household that the servants
shall have at least an hour for de
jeuner and for dinner alike, during
which time they are not to be called,
except for grave reason, but are left
free to seat themselves at table in the
kitchen, where, even In very hnmble
kitchens, they tuck their napkins under
th«ir chins and laugh and talk while
eating and drinking, so enjoying a de
gree of leisure nearly unknown among
all classes of Americans.
"As a rule, the Paris business man
takes his midday meal In the bosom of
his family. This is deemed such an
important feature of domestic econ
omy that the whole scheme of living is
adjusted to that end; and one finds
families of wealth and social distinc
tion horsed throughout the business
sections in order thus to make It pos
sible that the honr or two allotted to
dejeuner may be spent by the man in
his home."

A peculiar revelation In regard to
train travel in Japan is that the people
of various classes, customarily polite
In their Intercourse with one another
and iu their dealings with aliens, lose
nearly ail sense of courtesy when thwy
enter a passenger car. When I first
rode In a first class car In Japnn and
saw several dainty Japanese women 1u
pretty silks standing while Japanese
men remained resolutely seated 1 could
almost fancy I was on an elevated
train in New York bound for Harlem.

OVER THE TICKER
- I
[Orljrlnal.]
She was a splendid girl, but I 4 knew
■he should marry money. This was
my thinking, not hers, of which 1 knew
nothing. A long time I worshiped her.
Then when the great Wall street boom
came on I Invested a few thousand
dollars and gained a fortune. I was
worth s2< >O.OOO. This result was not
fully attained till the summer of 1902.
Hearing that Marguerite was at the
seashore, I went there. I pretended to
be much surprised to meet her, but
this was all assumed. I had gone
there to woo and win her if I could.
I didn't have much trouble inducing
her to accept my attentions—indeed,
she would decline to make engage
ments with very rich men to be with
me, though she knew nothing about
my circumstances. September came
on, and many people left the coast.
Enough remained to keep up the dally
attendance on the beach and at the
hops. One morning Marguerite and I
were sitting on the shlnlnfc sands look
ing at the bathers. I had got pretty
near to a proposal the night before and
was Just about to close the matter up
so far as my part WHS concerned when
I heard a cheery voice behind me, and
Billy Allen clapped a hand on my
shoulder. I introduced him to Mar
guerite, and we all three chatted to
gether. Billy said there was a flurry
la Wall street and suggested that we
goto the hotel and look at the ticker.
Marguerite said she would like togo,
too, so we rose, sauntered together
up the beach and were soou bending
over the tape. I explained matters to
Ma rguerlte.
"Those letter* M. O. P.," I said, "stand
for Missouri Pacific common stock. It
is a great favorite at present and is
usually referred to as Mop.'"
"A good name for a poodle," inter
posed Marguerite.
"Now. a bolder," I said, "of 100
•hares of 'Mop' makes or loses fIOO for
every point It goes up or down. On
1,000 share* the change is SI,OOO, on
10,000 shares SIO,OOO, and so on. Sup
posing we have, say. 20,000 shares, let
us see what one makes or loses as the
quotations vary."
I held the tape and read the quota
tlons on the stock.
"A quarter, a half, three-quarters
rise. We're ahead 115,000. Back
she goes a quarter, a half, seven
eighths, one point. We've lost our
115,000 and $5,000 besides. Still she
' goes down. A half, three-quarters, a
112 point, a point and a quarter, a half,
three-quarters Great heavens, is she
never going to stop? Two points, a
half,three-quarters, three points. We've
made a big loss. We're out $60,000."
"It quite takes my breath away,"
said Marguerite, with a gasp
"Oh, you would soon get used to it,"
I replied.
I am not much of an admirer of my
self and didn't think I was doing any
thing remarkable, but Billy, who knew
1 was "long" of exactly 20,000 shares
of "Mop," looked at me in amazement.
There was some reaction (which, as I
explained, regained some of our hypo
thetical losses), and then down went
the quotations, so that when we left
the ticker I was out $85,000. Mar
guerite went upstairs for a short nap
before lunch, and Billy and 1 went out
onto the piazza to talk it over. I made
up my mind that I would take advan
tage of the first reaction and sell out.
The next morning I met Marguerite
on the piazza. I excused myself for
not having seen her in the evening by
saying I had Billy on my hands and
proposed that before we went to tin
beach we should take a look at the
ticker. We did so, and I saw that sev
eral stock? of which I had a few thou
sand shares each followed "Mop's" ex
ample and slid down to a point that
left me barely SIO,OOO If all my shares
were sold at the prices quoted. Ire
solved to save that bagatelle for fu
ture operations and, excusing myself
from Marguerite for a few minutes,
went to the telegraph office and sent a
message to my broker to sell all I had
"at the market." Then I rejoined Mar
guerite and we went to the beach.
That evening while we were sitting
tog**her on the piazza looking at the
ocean slowly lapping the shore as a
lion may lick his chops after devouring
somebody I said to my companion:
"Marguerite, you are the only woman
I ever oaw whom I wanted to marry,
and I resolved three years ago that if
I ever made enough money to take
proper care of you I would ask you to
be my wife. Yesterday morning when
Billy Allen came tip I was worth $-«>»,-
000 and was on the eve of putting the
question to you. We went to the ticker
and saw s<lo,ooo pass away in less than
half au hour. The rest, except sl'2,<H>o
which I have saved from the wreck,
went yesterday afternoon and today.
1 tell you this because it la due to you
and myself that you should know why.
after all I have said to you, I do not
complete what I have begun."
She sat looking at me with eyes
opening wider and wider till 1 bad fin
lahed.
"Do you mean to tell me that that
supposititious case was your own?"
"I do."
"Then all I have to say Is that I'd
rather marry a man with such splen
did nerve than one with a million."
With a simultaneous impulse we
opened our arms and clasped each oth
er la a tight embrace.
My fiancee would not hear of my
leaving Wall street. She said that a
man with such nerve Is especially fit
ted for a speculator and I must seek
my fortune where I lost It. I went
"short" and In less than three months
regained my S2<X».OOO Where I shall
land eventually I don't know.. We
must all take our chances In this
world, and my chances seem to be in
the stock market.

(Copyright, 1904, by K. M. Whitehead ]
"Would you object to telling me your
1 reason for wanting to inarry ine?" she
l asked In an aggressive tone that qua
; vered into pathos.
Such an unexpected answer caused
| Barnard to rise from his chair some
! two or three inches lief ore lie remem
| tiered that it is the unexpected that al
j ways happens. He sat dawn carefully,
' having achieved a calm that implied
i that hers was the generally recognized
method of answering a proposal.
"Why—er— for the same wasou that
other men have asked you to marry
them, I suppose—because I care more
for you than for any one else."
"The others," she said slowly, "have
I hail various motives. There haven't
been so very many," she added, as if
! constrained to be honest
"I have known you so short a time
I could not be aware of that. I should
never have believed it without your
assurauce."
The hardness of her face relaxed
slightly. "You are the fourth," she
said shortly.
"Will you tell me why the other three
failed?" softly.
She leaned back in her easy chair
and grasped its arms with a nervous,
I awkward movement. Barnard noticed
the strong, white hands, larger than
his by far.
Do men ever love a womau that
weighs 193 pounds?" she asked bitterly.
"1 have known one man that accom
| pllshed the feat." He smiled in her
eyes encouragingly.
"One couldn't feel an Inclination to
hold a hand of that size. It's uncom
fortable in aO% glove." She held the
offending member before him as if she
could cheerfully have amputated the
left one and have overtaken the right
with a similar fate before they com
municated to each other any knowl
edge of their various doings.
"The man I mentioned feels a trou
b lego cue Inclination to hold that very
j hand," he laughed.
"You are old enough to have acqulr
! Ed better taste," Bhe retorted censori
ously. "How old are you, by the way?"
"Born exactly forty-nine years and
three months ago."
"I don't object to that," leniently.
; "It makes me feel somewhat better, I
' think. A woman of thirty-five likes to
| feel young even by comparison."
"I'm sure I'll never object to com
porlsons In our family. If It pleases
i you we'll turn down Mr. Shakespeare's
I opinion concerning them."
"In all my thirty-five years"— she
began.
"You seem proud to enumerate them.
You might knock off five without any
one suspecting," eying her with the
air of an expert.
"Simple honesty shouldn't be caught
embezzling," she smiled, with a sense
of good comradeship. Iler hands re
laxed from their grip on the chair and
I fell more comfortably upon her lap.
"Didn't the other three think It
would be rather nice?" He looked
meaningly at the hand nearest him.
"I don't think anybody ever wanted
to," Bhe answered simply. "I look too
much like the sturdy oak and have re
i eel red none of the tenderness that faJls
to the lot of clinging vines. Of course
there are Btorrns from which the oak
might like to be sheltered. I don't like
my masculine manner—l hate It," ve
: hefiently—"but It gives a better effect
1 than If I tri«*d to be kittenish. A hun
dred and ninety-five pound kitten
would run such a serious risk of being
mistaken for a giddy elephant."
"Precisely," he agreed.
"But even a feminine elephant might
long to be admired occasionally and—
lov»"d."
"Didn't the other three ever"— lie
gently stroked the firm, white hand.
"They didn't want to," she blushed
, furiously.
"But why, then"— he commenced
"Oh, one of them was a widower and
said it was so expensive having all the
sewing done out for four children."
He frowned sympathetically.
'"Hie second wanted a partner to
: help run a boarding school."
He nodded.
"The third was a preacher and
I thought it was not good for man to
j live alone. He didn't seem to think
dyspeptic tendencies and an lnsuffi
| clent income obstacles to prevent his
! finding a companion with all ease. In
: fact, his manner was full of assurance
that I would Jump at the chance. None
of them, nobody In all my life, ever
i really cared for me. They only want
j ed me to help them do something."
Her eyes were full of tears. "I
i would like some one to love me as
j they do the pretty little woman. I
j am Just as affectionate and tender
j hearted as If I were little and dainty"
—her lip quivered—"and—l -want—to
be loved -and to be—like them." She
covered her face with her hands.
He sat down on the arm of the easy
chair with an air that was Joyous and
youthful.
"Dear little woman," he said, ignor
ing the fact that the shoulders shaken
by sobs were broad as his own, "the
other three needed killing. I would
love to slay them for you one by one,
but unfortunately there is a law
against it. I will content myself re
joicing that their lack of appreciation
left a chance for the fourth one." lie
smoothed the hair gently from her
forehead. "The fourth man loves
you," he said, with a simplicity of
words strong in feeling.
She slowly raised her head and look
ed in his face. In her eyes was shin
ing the same expression that men have
often Been in the eyes of those more
favored women she envied. The amn
ion sank into Insignificance; the wo
man came Into her own triumphantly.
"Sweetheart!" he said.

Whether or not tobacco is a stimu
• | lant has been a vexed question ever
» since the time of Oviedo, the first
writer to describe it fully, who says
that the Indians of Ilispaniola used to
[ bacco to produce insensibility, whereas
■ others among the old Spanish discov
erers say that the natives smoked to
stimulate themselves to fresh exertions.
Men whose business leads to expo-
I sure to weather or to violent physical
[ exercise, such as sailors, soldiers,
watchmen, navvies and field laborers,
all take tobacco as a stimulant and
• have done so from the first.
i These classes are mentioned as spe
cially large consumers of the weed in
Dr. Everard's "Panacea," published in
Hobbes and Newton both used
tobacco to stimulate. Goethe and Heine
hated it. Scott smoked profusely; but,
• according to Mr. Trelawnev, Byron
I "never smoked pipe or cigar."
Modern experience and observation
seem to indicate that tobacco is a stim
l ulant in moderation and a narcotic In
! excess, in this respect resembling all
other intoxicants, using the term in its
> widest sense, from tea to opium.
CAT'S CRADLE.
i Origin i.* tlie Xamc of the Familiar
L String anil I'IUKT Gnme.
Cat's cradle has been familiar to most
of us from childhood as a game for two
players, in which the first winds a
looped cord over the fingers of both
hands in a symmetrical tigure, and the
second inserts his lingers and removes
» it in siieli a way as to produce a dif
ferent figure. This they do alternately
' several times, always changing the
; formation. The art consists in making
> the right changes.
; The cord forms a rude representation
- of a manger, and the name originally
was "cratch" cradle, cratch being a
manger (creche, I-'rench), such as that
In which our Saviour was laid. "They
• layde hym In a cratche," was Wyclifs
translation of Luke ii, 7. The word Is
still used in llouian Catholic countries
| in that particular sense.
' S The Abbe Prevost says In his "Man
l uel Lexique," "< 'ratch is the name glv
| en to a manger lor cattle and which is
. | consecrated by the birth of Jesus
: | Christ." To the present day the racks
i which stand in the fields for cattle to
' eut from are called cratches.

i As for the origin of the tune of "Yan

' controversy, this can be said—that most
of the views expressed about Its origin
are right, but only partly so. It is
• true the tune is the same as that of
? i "Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket," "Yan
kee Doodle Came to Town," and that
t of the Dutch reapers' song, "Yonker
> Dudal, Dudal Daun," but it is also
. identical with the old Biscayau "Dan

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Bora* of Their Pamonn train of I'hyn
lral KnitnrHnce.
One of the finest achievements of a
war correspondent was that of Ilolt
White, a representative of the New
York Tribune, In the Franco-Prussian
war. He witnessed the battle of Sedan
from the Prussian headquarters on
Thursday, Sept. 1, 1870. At its conclu
Bion he rode to Brussels, but there the
postofflce authorities refused to trans
mlt his dispatch to London and even
threatened to arrest him for saying
that the French had been defeated. He
then went onto Calais, crossed to Do
ver by special steamer and took a spe
cial train to London, where he arrived
at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning. Next
day there was a description of the bat
tle si* columns long In the Tribune. It
was not till Tuesday that the London
newspapers had accounts of the con
flict front their correspondents.
But the most famous deed of physic
al endurance In the race for news be
tween war correspondents was told of
Archibald Forbes. In the Servian war
of 1876 fiemlln, the nearest telegraph
station, was 120 miles distant from the
•cene of the battle. So soon as Forbes
knew the result he rode off, and all
night long he kept at a gallop, chang
ing horses every fifteen miles. At Sem
lln he had one long drink of beer and
then at once sat down to the task of
writing, hour after hour, against time,
the tidings of which he was the bearer
After he had written the story of the
battle and put It on the wires he lay
down In his clothes and slept twenty
hours without waking He had wit
nessed the battle, which lasted sis
hours; ridden 120 miles and written
and dispatched a telegraphic message
four columus In length to the I tally
News, all In the space of thirty hours.—

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.
the Venerable Superstition That la
Associated With July 18.
St. Swlthln's day falls on July 13,
and In England there is a superstition
that if It rains on that date the suc
ceeding forty days will be wet, and If,
on the contrary, St. Swlthln's day be
fair then the succeeding twoscore
days will likewise be pleasant. The su
perstition la venerable, for one old his
torian remarks that "St Swtthln, a
holy bishop of Winchester, about the
year 860 was called the weeping St.
Pwlthln, for that about his feast Prae
■epe and Anelll, rainy constellations,
arise cosmlcally and commonly cause
rain."
Another version of the story Is that
the good bishop left orders at his death
that he should be burled in the open
churchyard and not in the chancel.
The monks, however, disobeyed the
wishes of their dead and laid hlin to
rest on July 15 within the minster,
whereupon rain fell heavily and con
tinually till on the fortieth day the of
fending priests became alarmed and
hastened to fulfill their dead bishop's
j request.
Statistics furnished by the officials
! at Greenwich observatory discredit the
accuracy of the whole tale. The figures
' for one period of twenty years goto
show that the greater number of rainy
days after St. Swlthln's day followed a
dry July 15.
A PAINTER'S ARTIFICE.
The Secret of the Color In One of
Turner'* Pictures.
The late Mr. Horsley, It. A., has re
corded that at one time he studied al
most daily one of Turner's finest water
' colors, called "The Snowdon Itange,"
admiring especially the tender warmth
! of the light clouds encircling the moon,
ne tried all sorts of glasses to see If he
could dlncover how the particular glow
was gained, but without success.
Chance revealed the secret. The pic
ture began to buckle from Its mount,
and Its owner, Sir Seymour Haden,
put it luto the hands of a noted expert
to be remounted. When he had suc
cessfully removed It from Its old mount
the expert sent for the owner to show
him what he had discovered. A circle
of orange vermilion had been plastered
on the back with an Ivory palette knife
where the artist wanted the effect and
then worked off sufficiently far through
the pores of the previously wetted pa
' per to give the show of color, while re
taining the smooth surface, without a
trace of workmanship on the right
side.
This may have led Mr. Horsley him
self to use, as he did, brilliant orange
as the foundation for a white muslin
dress.
JUST BREATHE.
When Worn Oat Don't Take ■ Stim
ulant j Jaat Breathe.
Don't take a stimulant; Just breathe.
This Is the advice of a doctor who
does not believe In the old medical
policy of mystery, but who undertakes
philosophically to explain to any pa
tient why such and such a remedy
should be beneficial, says the Phila
delphia Telegraph.
"When you are 'let down,' " contin
ued this physician, "don't take a cock
tall; Just breathe. Put your finger
on your pulse and get Its rhythm. Dur
ing eight beats draw In the breath,
breathing deep and low and forcing the
diaphragm down first, then filling the
upper lungs. Then exhale this breath
during four beats of the pulse.
"Now, if you are working with a
piece of machinery, say a typewriter,
what do you do to make it run more
smoothly? You don't put a lot more
oil on It and gum and clog It all up.
You clean it first. You can best clean
the blood by breathing. The blood
passes through the lungs, and It needs
and expects to find plenty of fresh air
with oxygen In it. If it can't find per
fectly fresh air It needs more air which
Is not perfectly fresh. It needs to be
cleaned by contact with the air.
"Once in awhile hold the lungs full
of breath as long as you can without
expulsion. In doing this you are sim
ply cleaning the machine. You are
cleaning the blood. At the same time
you are giving that little fillip to the
action of the heart and the nervous
system which you thought you were
giving when you took the cocktail. In
the latter case you didn't clean the ma
chine. You simply ran It a little faster
and gummed it up a little more. You
can get the same results, the same
feeling of exhilaration and of accom
plishment, without taking the cock
tall, and at the same time the machine
will steadily improve In Its running
quality. Breathe the best air you can
get and plenty of It. It is as necessary
as food. The heart and lungs act In
voluntarily. In hurried business life
they become too Involuntary. in
that case don't take a cocktail; Just
breathe."
