SERIOUS, YET FUNNY
UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR THAT HELPS
TO PUT SPICE IN LIFE.
Some Examples of IJellKhlful I n con
(ruitlM In Speaking, WrltlnK and
I'ulntliiK That Appeal Strongly «o
the Seime of the Ridiculous.
Nothing bus added more to the merri
ment of the world than the uninten
tional, unconscious humor of writers
public speakers and.in fact, all classes
and conditions of men and women.
And there Is none so delightfu'. It far
exceeds in mirth provoking quality the
cold blooded humor of the professional
wits.
We Americans are a fun loving peo
ple, and we must aud will have our
Jollity. Some one has said with cer
tain truth: "With all our vanity, ener
gy aud unrest, we are uot a dull, cheer
less people. Sour faced fellows, yellow
and dyspeptic, are to be met with In
our cars and on our streets, but they
are not the type of the American, for
he Is as ready for a laugh as for a
speculation, as fond of a joke as an
office."
And the joke is all the more enjoy
able when It is spontaneous. The great
er the stress aud strain of life the
greater the need and demand for hu
mor, and no one deprecates the value
of humor excepting those who have
none of this good gift to their portion.
"Sunset" Cox, one oft' V'ittiest men
of his day.says In his i>, "Vhy We
"Kllmlnate from iOo lite/Si
ture and conduct of any one people the
amusing and the amused faculty, and
you produce a sterility as dull and un
interesting as the cinders and ashes of
the volcanic fields of Iceland. But in
clude the amusing element within
the experience aud history of mankind,
and no description of luxuriance, with
grape, olive, nectarine and orange, such
as makes the vales of Portugal a peren
nial smile, Is adequate to emphasize the
contrast."
Ono could not well instance a more
amusing blunder than that in a paint
ing of the "Blessed Virgin" in an old
church in Spain. In this painting the
.Virgin is represented as sitting on a
red velvet sofa fondling a cat with one
hand, while with the other she is pour
ing coffee from a sliver coffeepot.
This is as amusing as a painting in a
German church representing the sacri
fice of Isaac by Abraham. In this
painting Abraham Is about to dis
charge a huge pistol at Isaac when an
angel descends aud pours a pitcher of
water on the pan of the pistol, thereby
saving Isaac.
The writer once saw a crude painting
of King llerod with a pair of specta
cles painted on his nose. There is a
very old painting of St. Peter denying
the Saviour, and several of the Itomau
soldiers In the background have pipes
in their months.
Those who are on the lookout for
them will find many amusing blunders
in the dally papers and In periodicals
of all kinds. It was but the other day
that the writer saw Miss Fanny Cros
by referred to in a religious paper as
the "author of so many blind poems."
And It was a great metropolitan daily
that one morning gave Its readers the
following information regarding the
wrecking of a ship the night before:
"The captain swam ashore and suc
ceeded in saving the life of his wife,
fcne was iuouicti iu tne ivoicneni Mu
rine Insurance company and carried a
cargo of cement."
Equally amusing as an Instance of
unconscious humor was the statement
made by another paper regarding the
capsizing of a boat at sea. It said that
"but one life was lost, and that was
found afterward."
He must be sadly deficient in humor
who does not find himself amused by a
sign like the following seen in the win
dow of a shoemaker: "Any respectable
man, woman or child can have a fit in
this shop." It was an enterprising fur
rier who placed a card in his window
stating that lor the benefit of the la
dies he wr ild make "mutt's, boas, etc.,
out of their own skins."
A prolific source of amusement to
manuscript readers is the surprising
way in which aspirants for literary
honor and glory often "put things."
We find one young woman saying of
her heroine: "The countess fell back in
H deadly swoon. When she revived her
spirit had fled."
Another young writer places her her
oine In a very perilous situation and
then says of her, "Her lips quivered;
lier cheeks grew pale; her breath came
in short pants."
A third writer gives this amusing
description of the appearance of some
one she referred to as "the bell of
tne nan:" "»ne was clad In some soft,
clinging, fleecy, vapory stuff of purest
white that gave the appearance of a
bit of detached cloud floating in the
sky. She wore no ornament with the
exception of several bits of rare brie
a-brac gathered In a foreign elime."
A charming bit of purely unconscious
humor was that noticed by some vis- j
Iters to a great English coal mine. At
the mouth of the great central shaft
hundreds of feet deep was a placard
bearing these words:
"Please do not tumble down the
shaft."—Detroit Free Press

' CARE OF CHAMELEONS.
How These Little Creatures Can Ba
Kept Alive For Years.
Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making a frame to fit over a
' plant ill a flowerpot and covering it
with mosquito netting, which must be
long enough to tic with a string about
the pot. Keep the pot In the sunniest
window aud water the plant every
day through the netting. You will be
surprised to see liow eagerly the little
creatures will Uriuk the running wa
ter after they get over their fear.
Set a wire fly trap for flies, which you
can liberate under the netting. The
chameleons will not be backward
about helping themselves.
In winter they do not require much
food, but will relisli a meal worm oc
i casionally on sunny days. Meal worms
; can sometimes be got at the grain
| stores for the asking or can be pur
' chased nt the bird stores, or small
spiders can be found In cracks and
crannies nsleep for the winter. They
may be frozen stiff if found ot\t of
doors, but they revive In a warm room.
Chameleons enjoy a place to sleep in
nights and winters. Take a piece of
red flannel four inches wide and eight
inches long; roll it over a stick as
large round as your finger and sew It
while on the stick so that it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
a wire through it long enough to sus
pend It from one of the branches on
the plant. The chameleon will crawl
into this cozy bod and go to sleep.—St.

GRAFTING FISH TAILS.
An Interesting Art In Which the Jap
anese Are Experts.
Among the many interesting arts in
, which the Japanese excel is that of the
making of flsh tails. Almost every one
has seen the bush tailed goldfish, with
its four, five and sometimes more long,
wavy tails, but It Is not generally
known that most of fhem are not Its
I own.
When the little goldfish are very,
very young their flesh is as clear as
glass, so that one can see every bone In
their tiny bodies. At this time the few
that are born with two or more tails
are put by themselves, and then a
queer looking old Jap, with a great
j magnifying glass fastened in front of
hln eye and wee sharp tools handy,
reaches down under the water and
cuts off the tails of the plain little fish,
and then three or four of these tails
are joined onto the backbone where
the one was cut off and fastoned there
with tiny bandages until they grow
| fast.
The Japanese, who are very skillful
In queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish in the worli, and It Is a
very good business, for very fine flsh
of this kind often bring as much as
S3OO to SSOO, and one sold not long ago
for SI,OOO.
The Lady of the Lake.
"In the Days of Scott" there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter Scotfs
children In connection with his poem,
"The Lady of the Lake." y
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballantyne, the publisher, lu
her father's library and asked what
she thought of the poem. She replied
that she had not read It and added:
"Papa says there is nothing so bad
| for young people as rending bad
J poetry."
Scott's son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hav
| ing been engaged In a fight. His fa
ther asked him what he had been light
Ing about. I{e replied that he had been
called a "lassie" and had resented it.
A little questioning showed that
young Walter's scbooolfellows had
nicknamed him "The I.ady of the
Lake," which name the boy did not
understand except as a reproach to
his manliness.
The Joys of Relic Hunting.
Quite apart from the beauty aud in
trinsic worth of such things, it is as
tonishing on looking back on .one's ex
periences of collecting to realize how
much pleasure one has got out of even
a dilettante quest of antiques. The ex
hilarating joy of this treasure hunt, the
finding of the treasure, the bargaining
for It and the final bearing of it home
In triumph, unwrapping it and dis
cussing its beauties nnd merits, are
things which ndd zest to life. And, as
the taste for beautiful old things Is
more or less an acquired ono and can
be cultivated, this is a joy in which
most people who are fortunate enough
to have a little spare cash and a little
•pare time can share. —London Tatier.
PUZZLtS IN NAIURE.
Some of the Seeming Contractions
That Science Encounters.
The man of science, like the man of I
law, has brought before him many an
anomaly; but, unlike the judge or the
advocate, he knows that the contradlc- I
Hons he studies are only such in seem
ing. He feels confident that nature at j
the core Is In agreement with herself. |
Any day, he believes, these apparent
contradictions may be resolved Into
cases of detected law, not simple
enough to disclose Itself to aught bat ;
the most rigorous analysis.
In the realm of heat it seems that I
certain rules of radiation, conduction,
boiling points and the like are general,
not universal. In most cases they act
as If alone; In a few cases their effect
is masked by causes as yet uot under
stood. Let a few cases as perplexing
as that of the alloys under rofrlgera
t( be briefly recounted.
Common solder has a lower melting I
point than any of Its Ingredients. Sul- j
phur fuses at 120 C. and thickens again
at 220 C. When steel Is heated and
dipped into cold water it is hardened;
the same treatment softens copper, j
While almost every substance expands
with heat, rubber shrinks. In most
cases electrical conductivity Is Impair
ed by increase of temperature, yet a
carbon pencil rises to an almost three
fold augmentation of conductivity
wheu brought to Incandescence In an
electric lamp.
We may be well assured that when !
these anomalies are resolved the ex
planations will bear in their train oth
er difficulties for research yet more
subtle. Science never does worthier !
work than where, as hero, she points
to her own unfinished walls and bids
the student as a privilege nnd a duty
to supply their gaps as best he may.— j
George lies.
THE THIRD HOUSE.
. legislative Annex of the Bpeoial In*
terests In Congress.
! The third house, as the lobby Is some
times called, is the legislative anuex
of the special interests. It Is the
house of special representatives!, and j
its membership is a curious study In
the widely different.
Its meeting place Is the lobby and
i committee rooms of the nation's capi
tal, the hotel rotunda, the lawyer's
ntlice. the street, the banquet room,
the little back mom, the bar, the road
house, the home, the brothel—any
where the legislator may be found and
personally approached. That Is the
I object of a lobby—personal contact i
with the people's representatives and
the Influence upon legislation worked
thereby.
If legislators were perfect, there
would be no lobby. If they were per- ,
fectly wise, there would be no occa- j
slon for the lobbyist who desires "to
Inform" them: if perfectly honest,
there would be no occasion for the
lobbyist who desires to "make it worth
while;" if perfectly patriotic, there
would be no occasion for the lobbyist j
who desires for himself "a little per
| sonal favor"—at the people s expense.
The existence of a lobby Is premised
on human frailty. It Is present to i
prey on human weakness, to warp the
action of the legislative body by ap
peal to vanity, ignorance, cupidity or
fear.—Gllson Gardner In Success Mag
azine.
HARDY FERNS.
About Forty Species Are Suited to Out
door Culture.
! Among the hardy ferns are varieties
greatly differing in size and form, from
a hairlike creeping stem bearing a few
simple mosslike leaves to the vigor
ous growing plants with large leaves,
attaining a height of two or three feet, j
Terns are interesting and extremely
beautiful, especially when grown as
specimen plants or in combination i
with other plants. The varying coudi
; tlons In which the different species sue- I
ceed are remarkable. Many of them
require a warm temperature, while
others do well In cool aud shady places.
Of the 4,000 or more species of ferns
not mora than about forty species are
suited to outdoor culture In ordinary
soils nnd situations. These species can
be planted In beds, borders or rocker- I
ies or in the foreground of shrubbery.
As most of them require a somewhat
shady place, they are especially useful
for Ailing In places where grass and
other light loving plants cannot grow.
Perfect drainage is required. The soli
should have leaf mold In It, or decayed
peat or well decayed sod will answer.
Hardy ferns are best planted In the
spring, but they can be planted In the
summer If the fronds or leaves are cut
back, making It easier for the plants to
establish themselves bofore the winter
sets in. From his florist the amateur
gardener can obtain cuttings of varie
ties most suitable for the soil and cli
mate In his vicinity. In the winter the
ferns should be given protection, with
a covering of leaves, hay or straw-

ANIMAL SAGACITY.
The Instinct That Leads the Ostrich
to Protect Its Eggs.
The nature students—everybody la a
nature student nowadays—were trying
to outdo one another.
"Eagles when the sun is overhot
shade their young with outspread
wings," said the first. "On August aft
ernoons 1 have seen n mother eagle
stand patiently two full hours, her left
wing spread like an umbrella, while in
Its cool shade her nestlings slept."
"Squirrels," said the second, "can
tell whether a nut Is good or bad with
out opening It. A chestnut, a walnut,
a shellbnrk, they lift It in their little
paws, hold it to their faces a moment,
then If it is bad cast it aside. How do
they tell? By the weight, by the
sound? I incline to think they do It
by the smell."
"Ostriches never sit," said the third.
"They lay their eggs on the pale Sa
haran sands, and the sun does the rest.
But before the ostriches depart from
their eggs they place on the top of
each a pinch of sand, for they know
that the germ will mount to the top
and that the sun's heat would kill the
germ were it not protected."
"A trained elephant," said the fourth
student, "dnuced very badly at a mati
nee performance and was accordingly
beaten cruelly by Its master. That
night, hearing a shuffling noise out
side, the master crept forth, and there
In the moonlight he found the elephant
carefully practicing its dance steps."
IMPURE FOODS.
Tricks of the Trades Recorded by a
Diarist of 1783.
"The pure food question is as old,"
said an antiquary, "as the hills."
He took down a volume bound In
gray calf.
"This Is the diary," he said, "of Hein
rich Cruger, born in Amsterdam In
1724; died In New York in 1870. Listen
to the pure food kick that Henry pui
np in 1783."
The antiquary read;
"Monday, lSth October—lf I would
drink water I must quuff the mawkish
contents of a cursed open aqueduct,
exposed to all manner of defilement
and impregnated with all the filth of
the town.
"As for the intoxicating potion sold
as \v ine, it is a vile, unpalatable and
pernicious sophistication, balderdashed
with cider, corn-spirit und the juice of
aloes.
"The bread is a deleterious paste,
mixed up with chuik, alum and bone
ashes, Insipid to the taste and destruc
tive to the constitution.
"The table beer, guiltless of hops or
malt. Is vapid and nauseous. The tal
lowy. rancid mass called butter Is
manufactured of candle grease and
kitchen stuff. The fresh eggs were
fresh once.
"The greens are boiled with brass
halfpence In order to Improve their
color, while the pickles, though very in
viting to the eye, are often Insupport
ably rank to the taste, the reason
being that in their case also the house
wife has boiled a shilling's worth or
two of halfpence or a pound brass
weight In the vinegar."—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
THE MORNING WAKING.
Getting Up Exercises That Will Put ths
Brain In Order,
The difficulty most people exptrlence
In getting up In the morning can be
easily overcome by a simple operation,
according to a medical authority. Aft
er the night's long rest the brain is
laden with somewhat Impure blood, and
the lymph vessels which remove waste
matter are overfull and sluggish. This
Is why we nil crave another ten min
utes in bed and why most people are
so morose at breakfast. Yery slowly
the brain gets rid of the matters which
interfere with its vigorous action, but
the process can be expedited.
If the finger tips are placed against
the neck just under the ear and moved
swiftly down to the front of the shoul
der along the course of the jugular
vein, the used up blood Is drawn away
and room left for a fresh supply. This
should be done twice at each side of
the neck. Then the bands should be
placed on the back of the neck Just
under the skull and moved downward
as far as possible. This clears out
the lymph vessels and effectually pre
vents swollen glands, from which so
many people suffer.
After two brisk rubs of the lymph
vessels return to the Jugular veins and
then back to the glands, half a dozen
or eight times, until the operation will
be found far better than a cup of cof
fee, and whenever the brain is dull
through congestion this massage will
be equally effective.—Pearson's.
THE BUSY BEAVERS.
These Tireless Workers Havo Altered
America a Landscape.
Because its operations are chiefly
nocturnal, so that It is seldom or nover
seen, and because of Its skill in con
trolling water and in house building,
something of mystery has grown up
about the beaver. It is said that It
fells trees for the purpose of building
Its dams and can lay a tree where it
wishes to with the accuracy of the most
skilled nxmau. It is said also that It
uses its tall as a trowel, plastering the
mud on its bouses and dams with this
uppendage as a mason spreads his
mortar.
Myths like these will probably have
a long life. The latter belief Is no
■ I'iibt encouraged by the beaver's fre
quent habit of slapping the water or
earth with its tall as an alarm signal
whenever It Is startled. There are
many unexplained things about the
beaver's life.
Long liefore the white man came to
America the beaver was hard at work
building his dams all over the country
and in narrow and sometimes in wide
stream valleys, arresting the water
and so collecting In its ponds the de
tritus swept down from the hills and
from the upper reaches of the stream.
As this sediment gradually filled up
the shallow ponds the beaver moved
to other places, and when In tlmo th»
dam broke down and the waters drain
ed off a wide level meadow was left—
the bottom of the old poud.
All over the continent In suitable lo
calities, from Mexico north to the tree
limit and from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, this was going on century after
century, and In this way no doubt were
made vast areas of level meadow,
whose origin Is now unsuspected by
the people who occupy them.—Forest
and Stream.
REFLECTED GLORY.
it Is Just as Much Fun and Less Trou
ble Than Real Glory.
it Is a profound truth that reflected
glory is far better worth having than
real glory, as far as the actual fun of
the thing Is concerned. The man who
after much struggling has won through
to fame knows all the drawbacks to it
and realizes that the game is hardly
worth the candle. But the man whose
enly claim to glory lies in the fact that
he is an acquaintance of the famous
man lias a splendid time, getting most
t>f the kudos with none of the disad
vantages. We see a great good man,
let us say Algernon Asliton. and we
envy him. But we feel that his posi
tion must have its disadvantages. The
strain of being universal letter pro
vider to the papers of London must be
enormous. Far better the lot of the
man who merely knows Mr. Asnton
nnd can call him Algy Mr. Murphy,
the orator, supports this view. "It is
well." he says, "sometimes In speaking
to treat great men's names familiarly.
In bracketing yourself thus with the
great men of the world reminds one of
an eastern saying that there are only
two creatures th«< can surmount the |
pyramids, the eagle and the snail."
We know of scores of men who have
acquired reputations through their
friends. It is the simplest thing in the
world. The wonder is that everybody
does not do it.for it needs but little
labor.—London Globe.
CATARACT OF THE EYE.
How the One It Attacks May Watch
the Obstruction Grow.
Cataract is said to be due to the
gradual deposition of oxalate of lime
In the substance of the crystalline
lens, at first in small spots or streaks,
sometimes In one part and sometimes
in another. The deposit gradually In
creases until It penetrates the whole
of the lens, causing blindness. The
remedy, then, is to remove the lens,
and after Its removal the patient needs
a substitute In the form of highly mag
nifying spectacjes.
All that is necessary to «nable a
patient to see his own cataract for
himself is a piece of card and a nee
dle. A visiting card will do very -well.
Pierce a clean round hole near the
middle of the card and hold the card
up to the light close to the eye, look
ing preferably In the direction of a
piece of blue sky. With the card near
to the eye the patient will not see the
small hole pierced by the needle, but
he will see a comparatively largo, ratab
ly Illuminated field with his cataract
projected upon It. He is, In fact, ob- j
serving the shadow cast by his cata- i
ract on the retina at the back of his j
eye. With a small puncture In the !
card the shadow so thrown is compare
atively sharp. But with a normal eye !
an evenly illuminated field or clean j
disk will be seen. The patient may j
thus map down his own cataract and :
settle for himself whether It Is extend-1
lng and whether he will have an op
eration or not.

asked the sordid clerk.
"Plenty, but nothln' good enough to

"Bit of sentiment, eh?" queried an
Interested bystander.

dent pride. "He's been saving that
1 twenty dollar gold piece for nearly
four months, waiting to buy this ring."

Your Own Body-
Think deliberately of the house you
live in—your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse It. Eat nothing
that will hurt it; wear nothing that
distorts or pains It. Do not overload
it with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal of danger from any
of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. Do not take cold;
guard yourself against It. If you feel
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
ic treatment. Get into a fine glow of
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you will ever have in this world.
A large share of pleasure and pain of
life will come through the use you
make of it. Study deeply and diligent
ly the structure of It, the laws that
should govern it, the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow a violation
of every law of life or health.
Ampere and the Donkey,
The elder Ampere, for a time a pro-'
fessor in the College of France, waa
kind, but hot tempered, and occasional
ly gave way to outbursts of which he
instantly repented. Once at an exam
ination some mistaken response of a
student led him to exclaim, "You are
a donkey!"
The student was as hot blooded as
be. "It's you who are the donkey!"
lie shouted back.
By this time Ampere's anger was ail
gone, and the philosopher and gentle
man asserted himself/ "Perhaps it is,"
he answered, "but nevertheless I Im
agine that if you begin your demon
stration anew you will recognize the
fact that you are mistaken."
The student recommenced bis demon
stration, discovered his mistakes and
acknowledged that he was wrong.
"And now, my dear boy," said the
professor, "you see that I am not a
I donkey and that you are not one either,
i I bad uo right to call you by the name
; of that animal, which, however, is so
patient, cnhxi. faithful and laborious a
creature that I am not sure but it
! was he whom you and 1 were insulting
Just now and not each other."—Pall

THE WORST CLIMATES.
Thr«* Places Whin Weather Condi- j
tiona Are Unbearable.
"Speaking of rank climates," said a
globe trotter, "I have experienced the j
three worst.
"Of these three unspeakable climates
I give the palm to the strait of Ma-1
! gellan. There is rain on an mr
age 250 days In the year. The wtnd
blows a hurricane from January to,
December. The thermometer never i
j rises much above the freezing point—
i a year rouud of raw, bitter duys of
rain and snow.
"Next comes Sierra Leone, on the j
j African west coast. That low lying
marshy region has an average temper
ature of 81 degrees, and the annual
| rainfall is 189 inches—enormous!
' There are, too, the 'smokes.' These
are mists, smelling like oyster mud,
that rise continually from the marshes,
giving marsh fever to nine out of ten
[ of the white men that breathe them— !
a year round of hot and sticky days,
with vile smelling clouds of mist and
whirring clouds of mosquitoes.
"Last come the high tablelands of
central Asia, where the lack of mois

redhot furnace, nights like a January
blizzard. Before this range of tem
