Mirror Maa, “What!” exclaims the astonished reader, “is it poesiBle that there are any civilized persons on the face of the earth who are net in the habit of be holding their visages reflected from time to time in a miwrer ¢f some kind? Surely this cannot pe so.” Wrong, quite wrong, gentle reader, for at the present time, strange as it may ap pear, there are hundreds of men and women in the United Kingdom whe have not gazed into a mirror for years, The convicts confined in British pris- ons form wembers of this community. From the moment of a convict’s en- trance to a jail to the moment of his exit he is not permitted to have the use of a mirror of any kind, the small- est piece of glass being rigidly denied him. To the women convicts this ab- sence of a mirror forms one of the chief hardships of confinement, and many a female warder can tell piteous wales of women who have actually fall- en upon their knees and sobbed omt entreaties for the loan of a morsel of mirror—*‘just for a second.” All these | entreaties have perforce to be disre- garded, and it therefore comes about that many a female convict passes three or four years without being per- mitted to gaze upon her own features. —London Tit-Flits. A correspondent of the Philadeiphia Press says that when the late R. E. A. Dorr was on the staff of the Baltimore American news came one day to the sity editor that food in the Seven Foot Knoll lighthonse, out In Chesapeake bay, was sxhanusted and that the keep- er and his family were starving. Dorr secured a custom house tug and loaded it with provisions. The weather was exceptionably cold, and the tug was stuck in the ice half a mile from the knoll. Dorr left the boat and started aver the ice. When he reached the lighthouse, he was warmly greeted. “Come in the dining room,” said the keeper's wife | after the rescuer had warmed himself “Come in and have dinner with us.” Mr. Dorr thought that hunger had made her mad. “I heard that you needed food,” stammered Mr. Dorr as gooh as he couid speak. “Well, come to think of it,” replied We have plen: that sort, but the next time you are coming out this way we'd appreciate it if you'd bring over a few jars of quince jam,” she added cheerfully. Mr. Dorr tock his provisions back to Baltimore, but no account ‘of hig trip was written The Average Luwsait, There is nothing more ridicalons thas the average lawsuit. Two men dispute over a few dollars and go to law. Both are sure to lose. Their neighbors are dragged in as witnesses, and the costs amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in Frequently lawsuits ruin families and start quarrels tbat fast for years. Some men claim it is “principle” that actuates them in these lawsuits. It Is bullheadedness. pure and simple. [It is nearly always easy to “split the difference.” Another bad feature about these law- suits is that the county is put to con- siderable expense, and men willing to work are compelled to sit on the jury. Settle your disputes witnout going te law. If the man with whom you are disputing is not willing to “split the difference,” he will probably accept 8 proposition to leave it to three neigh | hars. ~ Atchisor (Globe these Freaks of Explosions, | Gunpowder explosions have one re | markable feature.

Upon enteritg the throneroom and seeing the general in full uniform, ' surrounded by his brilliant staff, with the accessories of splendid tapestries, laced ushers and all the pomp and splendor of these Spanish functions the provincial grew pale and, kneeling in deep humility, exclaimed: “This is indeed my general!” So impressed was he that the fol lowing morning he sent a pair of hand: some horses to the general with a note which :ead: “My general, yesterday I liked you 80 much in your uniform of gold that I send you this pair of horses, but do got use them when you dress In » white suit.” Whee [’resident Kruger sailed tor England some years ago, he was the object of much concern to his fellow passengers on board the liner from Cape Town, many of whom were con- sumed with curiosity when they ne ticed his absence from the dinner table for the first four days out.

The expression *“There is a skeleton in every closet” is said to have its origin in the fact that a soldier once wrote to his nother, who complained of her unhappiness, to have some sew- ing done for him by some one whe Id no cares or troubles. At last the nother found a woman who seemed to have no troubles, but when she told aer business the woman took her to a closet containing a skeleton and sald: “Madam, I try to keep my troubles te wyself, but every night I um com- pelled by my husband to kiss this skel- eton. who was once his rival.
