A short man with rod whiskers,

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.
"Kansas City, this date, ninety-six,"
he muttered to the typewriter.
"I have that."
"My dear wife."
"Yes."
"Very Important business will re

"Let's see," Interrupted the artist.
"How do you spell that Osawatomle?"
"Spell it yourself. It's your type

"I can't."
"Can't spell Osawatomle?" he asked
in disgust.
"No."

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."—

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

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.

Resurrection.
Out of the dusk a shadow,

Out of the cloud a silence.
Then a lark;
Out of tne heart a rapture,
Then a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes

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!

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
