That wna an Inducement tho pnrty had

turned In for Flipper. Tho dining room
vns oik1 in which tho family lived. A
fulding bod Rtood in one corner. An old
timo bureau was opposite. A hex stove
Venn in the way, and about it. were
several old fashioned richer. A f"v
fnmily picture hung from tho wall,
with tho eld, old motto, invoking the
Mousing nf tho power celestial on tho
household. Tho pnrty nkcd for supper
Mid was told to ho seated until tho meal
wns prepared. Two girls, di-lirnto nnd
with much wcnrlnosn in their faces,
sprend tho tahlo. When tho meal wns
brought on, they simply snid. "Supper is
ready" nnd disappeared.
Tho pnrty gathered nlmt the meal,
and It wns agreeably disappointing.

Think of "Lorena" on a melodeon In

Frlrmlfitilpt of Snnlio.
There is a certain coolness almost to
be called a positive want of cordiality
between snakes and human beings.
Moro, the snnko is never a social favor
ite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filled nnd running over with anec
dotes of varying elegance and mendac
ity, Betting forth extraordinary affec
tion and co-operation between a cat nnd
a mouse, a horse and a hen, a pig and a
cockroach, a camel and a lobster, a cow
and a wheelbarrow nnd so on, but then
is never a snnko in one of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort of
thing, and the nnecdoto designer's imag
ination has not yet risen to the feat of
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon causo it.
The enso most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snnko
known to mo is the case of Tyrroll, tho
eoo snnkekeeper, and his "laidly worms."
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrell's side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is
rather moro than human, as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. Of course
one often hears of boys making pots of
common English snnkes, but a boy is
not a human creatnre at all. He is a
kind of harpy. Arthur Morrison in
Strand Magazine.
Exasperating Days.
Aren't there some times in your life
when everything seems to go wrong no
matter how hard yon try to have them
go right? Those are tho trying days
when you want to blame all the trouble
on the way yon got out of bed in the
morning or on other people instend of
looking the matter squarely in the face
and saying, "It's one of my exasperating
days, and if I can only keep my temper
until night comes tomorrow will be dif
ferent." .
The trouble is when we feel ruffled
ourselves we somehow impart the feel
ing to others, and nine times out of ten
we either get into a quarrel or do some
ngly, horrid little thing that we wouldn't
think of on other occasions. If yon can,
on these hateful days, manage to think
twice before yon speak once it will save
a lot of worry on the morrow. In fact,
that is a good rule to go by at all times,
for of all the unruly, mischief making
members the tongue is the most prom
inentPhiladelphia Times.
Costly Gown, 1'oor Minister.
A sweet damsel of Baltimore is about
to be married to a minister. She con
fided to the Other One that hor wedding
dress was "a dream" sutin at $7 a yard
and $500 worth of duchess lace, "Only
fancy," observed the Other One reflect
ively to mo, "only fancy that gown of
course I mean a girl wearing such a
gown married to an everyday common
preacher. Of course it isn't as if hewere
a bishop or anything like that, but an
unheard of person living in an unfash
ionable part of the city. Really, it is
very iuliarmonious." "Then why are
you going to the wedding?" "Why? Be
cause I am a student of human nature,
and such odd coses are an interesting
study." Detroit Free Press.
Why Not "For Butter or Worse?"
It is a Kentucky woman's idea that
the coat of arms of her state ought to bo
changed. In pluce of the two men's fig
ures with clasped hands and underneath
them the legend, "United, we stand; di
vided, we full," she thinks there should
he the figures of a man oud, a woman
with clusped bunds, the some motto be

Txtlnc Iron Castings.
"Have yon ever noticed," said a Bt
Lonisan yesterday, "those massive iron
pillars now standing erect in the base
ment of tho new Planter's House? Well,
did you ever stop to think of the im
mense weight they will be compelled to
support steadily for ninny, ninny years?
Oh, you hnve. Hnt I suppose you hnve
thought the manufacturer just mado
thoBO pillars nnd sold thorn without
knowing anything nbout how much
weight thry won! 1 bear or how long
they would benr it. Let me tell you
about that.
"Those pillars nro cast in tho siuno
manner as cast iron stoves by running
tho liquid metal into rand molds, but
nlonsido of each pillnr is cast nn iron bar
from tho snme metal. The bnr is pre
cisely nn inch squaro and feet in
length. When cold, it is subjected to a
very simple test. Each end of the bnr
is placed npon a table and weights are
snsjiended from tho center by a rojie. It
must bear a tensile strength of SOU
pounds to the square inch. The test may
begin with 400 pounds and lie gradually
increased until tho bar is found to be
perfectly supporting the required weight
If it breaks, for instance, at 480 or 490
pounds, then the pillar cast from the pot
of metal which cast the bar is discarded,
broken up and put into the pot again,
with more pig iron added. The pillars,
yon know, are largely made from scrap
iron, and the manufacturers cannot know
tho strength of the cast until it is tested.
The addition of pig iron in the event of
failure brings the cast up to the stand

In HrltUh Honduras.
British Honduras is a crown colony,
and of its 80,000 population there are
about 300 whites, mainly English. There
is an American colony of about 20 people
at Toledo engaged in sugar growing and
rum making. They are mainly from
Kentucky, and it is a prosperous colony.
Tho country is healthful for a tropical
country, and there has not been a case of
yellow fever in several years. The prin
cipal product is mahogany, and it will
be years before the forests ore exhausted.
Great quantities of logwood aro also
shipped to Europe We ship only ba
nanas and plantains to the United States,
shipping last year 728,000 bunches of ba
nanas to New Orleans. The great prob
lem with us is labor, and we import na
tives from the West Indies.
We need immigration, nnd Sir Alfred
Maloncy, the governor, is a very pro
gressive man and is doing much to bring
us to tho notice of the world. We hnve
no railroads beyond a trnmway drawn
by mnles, penetrating tho plantations
for nbout six miles. There is not a tele
graph instrument or line in the provinco
and only a short telephone lino between
government buildings. Wo have no
monoy of our own, but use the silver of
surrounding republics, which is so do
precinted that in American money is
equal to f8.00 of tho money in uso. In

Don't toll me now that men are callous
and selfish when tho woman is nn old
one, for I won't believe it.
We were hurrying to catch the ele
vated train when a poor old Irishwoman
stopped, and directly in the way of all
other would bo passengers endeavored
to readjust a strap that had slipped from
the package she was carrying.
Her hands were cold, and she seemed
unable to loosen tho bucklo, when a good
looking man came up and seeing her dif
ficulty laid his own packages down on
the platform while he asked:
"Can't you manage it? Here, let me
do it for yon."
Of course "time and tide" and ele
vated trains wait for no man, and we
rolled away from the station just as he
had completed his self imposed task.
We saw him pick np his bundles and
walk toward the waiting room to gel
warm for the wind was cold never
seeming to regret the train he had missed
for doing a kindness for "some one's
mother!"
I found myself hoping that his wifo, if
he had ono, would not scold him for com
ing home late.
Oh, the world is full of chanty if we
only stop and look for it! New York

For Weary Feet.
"My old colored cook," said a woman
recently, "koeps a pad of her own man
ufacture always before tho kitchen sink.
It is made of several pieces of old carpet
tacked togother with strong thread, the
whole being made over and renewed
quite frequently. When I asked her the
other day why she kept the rather un
sightly rug on her neat linoleum covered
floor, she explained that it was a great
rest to her feet to stand off the unyiold-
ing floor.
"And when my attention was thus
callod to it I could see that it must bo,
and the idoa was worth handing around.
"I have heard saleswomen and mon,
too, complain to one another in the shops
of the pain which they suffered from
constantly standing on the wooden floors.
and I presume this condition would be
much roliovid if a strip of rope matting
could bo sfcretobed for their use." New

Teddy Yonderchump, a young society
man, has been paying his addresses to
Miss Rose Bondclipper of Madison ave
nue. His visits have been very frequent
of late, and last night Tommy, Miss
Rose s younger brother, said: '
"Yon ought to come and Boe us every
ventng, Mr. Vanderchump,"
'Why, Tommy?"
"Because it mokes Bister Rose so hap
py to have yon go away you ought not
to miss an evening.
They missed Teddy for the rest of that
evening. Texas Sittings.
