"You made a mistake of twelve pounds lu that woman's weight," said another, mau who hud also watched the scales. "She weighed 152 pounds lustead of 110." "I know that," said the clerk, "hut she never would have forgiven hip If 1 had told her so. That woman's hus band died about six weeks ago. She has gained seven pounds In that time, but to keep her In good humor with herself 1 had to make her thijik she had lost five. I don't know why it is. but anybody who lias suffered bereave ment seems to consider It a disgrace to take on flesh. That woman has been weighed three times since her husband Sled. She would be shocked If she knew she had gained right along. For tunately she Is too nearsighted to read the scales herself, so It is easy to make her think she Is wasting away." New lork Tress. Law and the Queen. The qualutness of many provisions of British law Is curiously illustrated In the status of the queen of England. So far as her majesty's private busi ness Is" concerned, she Is not regarded by the laws and customs of England as a married woman at all. She Is the only woman In Great Britain who does not come within the scope of he mar ried woman's property act. The Idea In all this Is that affairs of state con sume all the time of the king, and therefore no responsibility for the queen's private business rests upon him. If the queen contracted debts In her husband's name he would not be responsible for them, as any other husband in the United Kingdom would. The king cannot be sued for debt, but the queen can be. Should the king die. some authorities hold that the queen could not mnrry again. In case she wished to, without the license of the king's successor.

"When one of the street dogs of Con stantinople gets too old to be of use to the band the captain dog decides that he is to die," Bays Albert Blgelow Paine in Harper's Weekly. "A day :omes when the captain issues an edict that he is no longer to have food. From that day until his death not.n morsel passes his lips. With longing eyes he looks at the others eating, but he mokes up attempt to Join them. Now and again a bit of something falls his way. The temptation is too strong he reaches toward the morsel. The captain, who overlooks nothing, gives a low growl. The dying creature shrinks back without a murmur. Lie knows the law. Perhaps he, too, was once a captain. The minister's wife told me that she hnd tried to feed one of those dying dogs, but that even when food was placed In front of him he would only look pleadingly at the captain and refuse to touch it." How They Get 'Em, The sad looking man climbed Into the bootblack's chair to have his shoes Bhlned. 'And is your father a bootblack, too?" he asked, by way of making con versation. "No, sir," replied the lad. "My fa ther is a farmer." "Ah, a farmer!" cried the sad look ing man as a spasm almost akin to Joy spread over his features. As he reach ed into bis pocket for a notebook ana pencil be began to mumble a sort of gibberish. It Bounded like this: "Farmer, hey? Farmer hay. Son, bootblack. Son shines. Ah! I have It Your father evidently believes in making hay while the son shines." Perhaps It Is needless to explain that Instead of being a mild lunatic the sad looking man was one of those pro fessional humorists who write funny pieces for the papers. Philadelphia Ledger. Laughter Saved the Ship. Humor has been credited with the saving of many things, but perhaps never before has a ship been saved by its judicious application. In a great storm many years ago a ship's crew were all at prayers when a boy burst into a fit of violent laughter. Being reproved for his ill timed mirth and asked the reason for it, he said, "Why, I was laughing to think what a hiss ing the boatswain's 'red nose will make when it conies In contact with the wa ter." This ludicrous remark set the crew laughing. Inspired them with new spirits, and by a great exertion they brought the vessel safely into port Liverpool Post.' Two Narrow Escapes. An Irishman, seeing a vessel very heavily laden and scarcely above the water's edge, exclaimed, "Upon my sowl, if the river was but a little high er the ship would go to the bottom!" "See there!" exclaimed the returned Irish soldier to the gaping crowd as he exhibited with some pride his tall hat with a bullet hole in it "Look at that hole, will ye! Ye see, if it had been a low cjowned hat 1 should have' been killed outright" gUGHES & FLEMING. FUNERAL DIRECTORS.

In wrlttlug of t he Schluesselburg prison iu MeClure's Magazine David Sosklce tells of a iirisouer who was chained to a wheelbarrow : "Schedrln had been condemned to hard labor in the convict mines of Si beria and for an attempt to escape from there had been sentenced to lie chained o a heavy wheelbarrow. When the order came for his transfer from Siberia to St. Petersburg no con veyance could be found largo enough to contain him, the wheelbnmw and the convoy of gendarmes. Vet, as the wheelbarrow had become u part of the prisoner, the gendarmes were afraid to leave It behind. It was there fore decided to place Schedrln with bis convoy in one cart and the wheelbar row behind in another. For several months, day und night, Schedrln and the gendarmes galloped through Si beria upon a troika (a three horsed cart or sledge), while another sped be hind them upon which the wheelbar row reposed, causing the deepest amazement among the peasants Iu the villages through which they passed. Upon the arrival of the prisoner in SS. Peter and Paul he was once again chained to the barrow, and only after he had been six weeks In the Schlues selburg was be Anally detached from it and given freedom of movement wlViia the narrow confines of bis csll. "'When they unchained me," said Schedrln Hiibseqci iitly. i could not get enough niovetneM. 1 wanted to run and run, and It seemed to me that I could never stop.

A Recluse, He Lived Far From the Madding Crowd. Henry Cavendish, tho famous natural philosopher and chemist, was a recluse who astonished England. A son of Lord Charles Cavendish and' a nephew of the third Duke of Devonshire, possessed of enormous wealth, the subject of universul ad miration because of his scientific at tainments, he preferred tbe solitude of bis study and tbe company of bis books to the pleasures society could offer him. ' For many years he lived nt Uauip stend In a large, roomy bouse, attended by a number of female servants, who. however, were strictly enjoined to keep out of bis sight. If a domestic by tbe meruit chance came into the presence of Cavendish she was instantly dis missed. ' Every morning the philosopher would leave a note on tbe hall table naming what he wanted for dinner. No one saw blin place the note there; but, ac customed to the strange customs of the establishment, the meal would be Chrysanthemums. . Chrysanthemums stand fourth in commercial Importance among flowers. Only the rose, the violet and the car nation surpass them, and that chiefly because tbe chrysanthemum season is so short, while tbe others can be had from the florist nearly the whole year round., Greece gaV. us the name. Chrysanthemum means "golden flow er." But the name was Invented long before the big butter yellow globes were known in the Occident. It re ferred to the prevailing gold In the small varieties that were known. Strangely enough, the first chrysan themum brought into Europe was not gold, but purple. It was a small flow er about two Inches across, shaped like an aster. Somebody took it to Europe from China in 17'JO and, pres to, the modern history of chrysanthe mums was begun. Argouaut.
