A short man with rod whiskers, shambling gait, and the remains of a Jag. wandered into the Midland last evening and asked for a typewriter's ttudio. He lives In Kansas, not far from Topeka, aud had been here at tending the football games. Luek had walked on the same side of the street with him in the matter of bets, and lie wanted to stay another week. But his wife expectud him home, so he was in March of a typewriter to send home a letter to serve as an apology for his non-appearance.

A DISCOVERY. rhe Professor's Unwelcome Incresso of Knowledge. One of Washington's scientific men found himself in an assemblage where there were a great many young people. He endeavored to rise—or, perhaps, to descend—to the occasion as gracefully us possible. Having been introduced to n number of young women, be tried to make himself agreeable by explaining some of the latest information in eth nology, and he became so absorbed in his discourse that he did not notice, un til they were nearly all gone, that a youth with a nasal voice was winning his audience away from him with a funny song. He tried it ugaiu with urcheology as the theme. A girl with a banjo wrecked his ambitions. He thought he was making some headway by means of his remarks oil paleon tology when a man who took a rabbit out of a silk hat eternally quenched his pride. "My dear," he said to his wife, on i their way home, "I have been thinking It over, and I lind that the evening has been far from wasted." "I was very much afraid that you would feel differently about It." "No, I have made a very Important ami Interesting discovery. The merest accidents sometimes lead to the most surprising revelations, and to-night I 1 learned something which completely j overturns an accepted theory." "Is It possible?" j "We have been led to believe that Ihe chief of all forces is the attraction ; of gravity." "Yes." "Well, I have found out to-night that there are times when it can't hold a candle to the attraction of levity."— Washington Star. Selecting Pictures. "The value of a picture depends upon • what there is in-it for its possessor," writes William Martin Johnson in tht Ladies' Home Journal, on the "Selec ; tion and Framing of Pictures." "A paiuting by an amateur may be more precious in your eyes than one of Ua phael's cartoons. Therefore, sell youi cartoon to the highest bidder, and wlier you outgrow the little painting buy liack the cartoon if you have learned tc see its beauty, j "No one can tell you how to under | stand art without your seeing it. study ing it, living with it, any more than any I one can tell you how to tell good clott | from had; you must first have had ex perlence with cloth. Learn a language I before you try to converse. But do noi ! go so far as to imagine that you must learn drawing and painting before yot , can appreciate pictures. The less yoi know about technique the more capable you will be of looking at a painting witi an unprejudiced eye. (let at the art lst's intention. Does lie express an idee to you? Is he interesting in the way he tells iiLs story? Does lie convince yoi of a truth? If the picture is that of a head does it impress you as having the j characteristics of an individual? Does It look like a human being? Suppose a I landscape is under discussion—do the ; trees sway, the clouds float? I there any atmosphere in the painting? These ; tire the tests of a painter's facility with language. But more than this is re quired—it is the Intellectuality behind the brush. Herein lies the difference between sublime art and the common place." Entitled to the Prise. Some years ago there lived ill Eng land a certain bishop who was extreme ; ly pompous, and very fond of impres sing upon the minds of the poorer peo ple the evil of doing wrong. As they never seemed to do aught but wrong In the worthy man's opinion, it some limes became irksome to these people •<> hear lilm constantly admonishing l hem to do right. One of the bishop's habits was to visit the miners a short distance from his city, and his presence grew familiar to these toilers. During one of his calls he found a group of them talking together, and after a few preliminary words on his customary subject of doing right, lie asked them , what they were talking of. | "You see," said one of the men, "we found n kettle, and us has been er-try ing who can tell the biggest loi to own . the kettle. | The bishop was duly surprised, and | road the men a lecture in which he spoke of how strongly the.offense of j lying had been impressed upon him i when he was young, and how he had I never told a lie in the whole course of his life. He ha<l hardly finished when one of the men cried out: "Gi'e him the kettle, Jim! Gi'e him the kettle."—Harrier's Hound Table. IWmORLD QUEEN OF THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS. Mrs. Emma Foray the, an American lady who owns 150,000 acres of land in tho South Sea Islands, is a most energetic woman, employing several hundred natives as well as many Euro peans on her plantation. She was left u widow at eighteen, with scarcely enough money to exist, but she has since amassed a largo fortune. She has just contracted to build four ves sels for island trade, and the natives call her the "White Queen." NOYELTrES OF THE HOUR. Stock collars made of upstanding tails are a novelty of the hour. With them are sold muffs made entirely of tails and lined with tho same color velvet used for the foundation of the stock. The Victorine, that quaint collarette with long stole ends, is but little worn this year. This may be because last season it was regarded as one of the novelties. Collarettes are quite as much in vogne as they were last season, only they have changed a trifle in shape. Moufflon in a delicate gray shade makes a most becoming collarette. It is particularly soft and pretty, with a high gray chiffon, ac co*"!ion-plaited frill, which stands up close around tho neck. —Chicago Times-Herald. JADE IS THE FASHIONABLE STONE. Jade is the newest ornament of fashion. The idea is said to have originated in London at the time of the Russian Czar's visit, for jade is a stone highly valued in Russia, as well as malachite. We may see a revival of the latter, too, perhaps, though it does not lend itself easily to articles of jewelry. By degrees silversmiths have rung tho changes on all tho precious stones. Sapphires used to be sold at a large and prohib itive price; it is now comparatively moderate. Pearls are always dear and precious; rubies have risen in market value, while diamonds of ordi nary quality are cheap; large 3tones ot any sort remaining always the prize of millionaires only. OOLD NECK CHAINS. The fash'on of weariug long ohams of gold about tho neck is attractive. The chain should bo strong enough to hold a watch tucked into the belt, and often a tiny gold purse and bunch of gold-plaited keys that are better car ried by the mistress than by the maid. These chains are supposed to bo for use, and are seen with tailor-made shopping costumes. Parisians are carrying, while shop ping, dainty bags of brocaded silk with gold clasps and ornaments or bags of fancy leather bound with gold or silver. This is a coquettish revival of an old fashion and does not neces sarily suggest a shopping trip by a suburbanite. Tho small bags of white leather, with olusp, chain aud mono gram of gold, are particularly attrac tive, and tho extreme is a bag, ten times larger than a purse, of fine gold mesh. Its price is not one of its at tractions, but in Paris there are always patrons of the expensive fads intro duced by tho jewelers.—New York Tribune. COVERS FOR WHEELS. Bieyoles are so generally used now adays that they aro "one of tho family." Of course, they must be cared for. So the new fad is a bicycle cover, embroidered. Tho wheel is often left standing in halls and kitchens, and unless it is covered soon gathers dust, to the detriment of the machinery and perhaps the ruin of some of tho delioate parts. Tho wo man of taste does not like to see her bicycle covered with an ugly plain cloth, but at the same time objects to seeing it uncovered and exposed to the thousand ills that are ever lying in wait for it. What does she do? She obtains a cover that is handsomely embroidered and is at once an object of beanty aud a protection to the ma chine that has become her alter ego. The favorite bicycle cover is of brown holland, open at one side, with string to draw the opening together. In the corners of the cover are om broidered sprays of flowers, leaves or any other design that may please the owner. They are not necessarily floral, but they always must be pretty. The enthusiastic bicyclist will not tolerate anything that is not pretty.— New York Press. THE QUEEN AT WORSHIP. At a thanksgiving service held in Clapham Congregational Church, Lon don, to commemorate the blessings which by God's bounty have been con ferred on the British Nation during Queen Victoria's reign, Dr. Guinness Rogers contrasted the present condi tions of life with those of sixty years ago. Ho paid high tribute to tho Queen's wisdom, taot, loyalty, devo tion, lofty character ancf beneficent in fluence, and expressed a fervent hope that by God's blessing her reign might be long prolonged, incidentally, Dr. Rogers made a personal allusion which made a deep impression on his hearers. Some years ago, he said, he was staying in Scotland, and attended service at the little unpretentious Presbyterian kirk at Crathic, where the Queen wor ships when at Balmoral. Occupying a seat in the gallery, close te and within full view of tho royal pow, he could not help observing the demeanor of the Queen, and he felt bound to say that a more devout, earnest and sim ple-minded worshiper ho could not wish to see. She joined heartily in the singing of tho hymns, sang the old Scotch version of the Psalms, listened attentively to the sermon, and joined reverently in tho prayers. She was the great Queen of a powerful empire, but she was there as a humble, devout Christian woman, and not as a majestic sovereign.—New York Observer. THE CAPRICES OF FASHION. It is remarkable how easily we be come accustomed to the caprices of fashion, and how quickly every ves tige of the beauty and attractiveness of certain modes aud outlines vanishes when once the ruling queen of style has frowned upon it. Already, for instance, do we see here and there a "balloon" sleeve which looks mon strous and ridioulous beside the trim, taut little styles that took its place; and heavy and cumbersome do the over-full godet and ripple skirts ap pear contrasted with the new graceful models of more normal moderate di mensions. And ever thus has it proved since fashion first began her dominat ing sway in the feminine world. Taken as a whole, the prevailing stylos for the winter are very near perfection, with nothing excessive ap pearing in their chief characteristics, with no extremes, and with uncom monly few bizarre effects excepting thoso which make a caricature of nearly every fashionable hat of the season. Ophelia in her wildest mo ments never put upon her fair head auy more insane-looking, meaningless, over-laden decoration than we behold any day or hour on tho promenade or at public or private gatherings. Tho special point of their absurdity is tho number of long, tipsy-looking feath ers that appear exactiy as if they had beon pitched upon tho hat, hit-or miss, fastened where they happened to fall or stand, and when this crazy looking hat is donned, the wearer looks as if she had just encountered the worst sort of a demoralizing bliz zardly gale straight from Manitoba.— Now York Post. FASHION NOTES. Fashionable street gowns for young girls aro in blue and brown, with touches of scarlet silk. Canvas and serges in plain and in oliangcable effects aro used for street costumes, especially for severe tailor designs. A garment that is now universally popular and becoming is tho zouave or bolero jacket of velvet, lined with silk and trimmed with lace. A novol sleevo is the Renaissance. It is gathered at the seam and sets in o multiplicity of wrinkles down to n pointod cuff, which comes woll over the hand. Rows of very narrow mohair and metallic braids on a stylish costume of changeable blue and green watered poplin indicate one of the new modes in garniture. Braid and passementerie, also tiny ruffles at tho bottom of the skirt are popular forms of trimming. Capes of cloth, velvet, or fur are in two styles, cut in points front and back, and on tho shoulder—an English fashion—or they aro shaped with stole like scarf ends in front. A turban or toque and a large hour-glass-shaped muff made of tho material composing tho short full capo aro sold together at tho importing houses. Wo hear of skirts that aro plaited all the way round, but no one seems to bo able to find them when they are looked lor. All of tho most approved models are very snugly fitted at the top around tho hips, and have a great deal of fullness at the back. Some of tho newest skirts are padded inside,and so arranged as to increase the fullnoss about the hips. As the shoulders grow smaller, the contour below the waist line grows apace. The variety in cloth capes is espe cially good, and they are made in all the dark colors as well as tan and gray, and in both rough and smooth mater ials. In most all cases they aro trimmed with bands of the cloth etitched on in various ways,and are lined with pretty silk. Some have plaits in the back and swing out after tho fashion of the loose saoque, and all have flaring collars standing up around the neck, which on some are cut in squares on the edge. Atailormnde gown of Rusaion green serge is trimmed on the bodioe with orange yellow velvet, which is to be the fashion among very many other things of this warm brilliant color. The round waist has a box-pleated front of the serge trimmed with tine gold buttons. There aro a small yoko and girdle of the yellow velvet, and also removable oufifH and a turn-down collar with a standing one also of the velvet lined with yellow satin. The skirts flares a little on tho front and sides,is very full at the baok,and lined with blue and gold shot silk. When corks are too largo lor a bot tle, soak them in boiliDg wator for a few minutes, when they will beoome soft and muy be easily put into the bottle. WltQ Resurrection. Out of the dusk a shadow, Then a spark; Out of the cloud a silence. Then a lark; Out of tne heart a rapture, Then a pain; Out of the dead, cold ashes Life again. —John 13. Tabb. Winter Dusk. The prospect Is bare and white, And the air is crisp and chill; While the ebon wings of night Are spread on the distant hill, The roar of the stormy sea i Seems the dirges shrill and sharp That winter plays on the tree— His wild Eolian harp. In the pool that darkly creops In ripples before the gale, A star like a lily sleeps, And wiggles its silver tail. —R. K. Munk it trick. Without Hope, flow bear the world when you're away— The sullen skies, the weeping rain; How bear the treacherous yesterday, That bid not bring you back again- The morrow with its promised pain, The long, long lino of days all gray? How boar the world when you're away The primrose-gold along the lane, The sllvor splendor of the May, The spring and all her flower-crowned train, The lover's moons that wax and wane- One shadow, cast whore once two lay? iVintor or spring, now you'ro away, The birds sing only to complain. The flowers lack heart, the sun's astray, And winter's hoarth is warm in vain! Come back' The piteous old refrain Of Love that has its price to pay! —Pall Mall Gazette. Hygiene. I cannot oat but little meat, By microbes it is spoiled; And sure I think I cuunot drink, Save water that is boiled; And I'll endure low temperature, Since by the doctors told That to live long and keop us strong 'Tis better to bo cold. So let bacteria scourge and scare, With ailments manifold. To do us good we'll eat no food, And keep our bodies cold. I love no roast except dry toast. Ami that at slated terms; !' And little bread 1 eat, in dread Of pathogenic germs; Of milk no whit I take, lest it Zymotic ills enfold, An I fevers breed: yet most I heed To keep my body cold. A keen east wind I never mind, And fifty Fahrenheit la the degree that best suits me, By day and eke by night; Thus wise I strive to keep alive. And haply to grow old. With beef uncarved, nthirst and starved, Aud perished with the cold. Crowding. Don't crowd! There's room enough for all! Why push and jostle so? Wiiy shove your neighbor to the wall. Or seek to lay him low? Don't crowd! Don't crowd! You're just an atom here! Why hold your brother back? Go seek away that's new and clear— Wny keep the beaten track? Don't crowd! Don't crowd! Once you strove bravely, too, Against the odds above! Think how dofent oft reached you through Homo rival's stealthy shove— Don't crowd! Don't crowd! Ah, might I just as well Address the drops that make the seal Wherever men or mice may dwell There will the jealous ever be To crowd! The Brook's Good Nlglit. Did you not hoar the whisper, Iu the hollow by the mill? For Nature is talking to the brook That prattles beueath the hill: "Child, will you not bu still? Will you not sloop? Little one, prettly one, look. It is warm to-day, but the grim north wind will come brick; He is only skulking to-day. Troadiug and tramping the tumbled leaves in the wood, And his brows nro bad and black. Peace, little one, bo good, Bu good and bo quiet, sleep in your cradle of ice. And I will throw Safe over you my coverlet of snow. My coverlet, to keep You sheltered in your sl^ep, To keep you sneltoro.l safe from all keen winds that blow. Sleep, darling, have no fe ir. For I am with you, dear?" —Herbert Bates. Inherited Strange Talent. William Witmer, of Wolfsville, Ind., claims to have inherited the faculty of charming reptiles through his ancestors, and tho fearful exposi tion of his bravery with snakes as re lated by him is enough to give one a lit of horror. Tho other day while on a visit in the mountains of Pennsyl vania, he caught a number of spotted vipors and let them bite him on the arm until they hung in a wriggling mass. Recently he was surprised by a big rattler while picking berries on the mountain, and as the snake sprang at him ho leaped forward and caught it with his hand. The influence ho pro fesses to have over tho >oaly creaturee soon quieted his victim. A day 01 two ago Mr Witmer caught a large rattler (which ho now has), but the snako was averse to human inter ference and fastened upon the charmer'* thumb, striking its venomous fauge into his llesh. Ho says that lie didn't mind it a bit, because he has a remedy with which ho can cure any suako bite in fifteen minutes, and that ho will pay SSO for any instance where he fails to enre. Catching snakes with Mr. Witmer is a profitable business, as he finds ready sale for all the rattle snakes he catches at prices ranging from $'2.50 to $5 apiece.—Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
