Cal liper, according to the New York Sun, "a young man who had everything that i heart could Wish for, who, notwith standing that fact,wasaprettysaneand sensible sort of young man, but who, nevertheless, did at times, in his young- ' tr days, before he had learned tflie philosophy of life, occasionally have periods of depression. In one of these on his way home once from Europe be came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overboard. As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the wa ter was, and how much there was of it, be knew that he ought not to go out in it without a mackintosh. "Going below he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this occasion of all others when he wanted one most lie had none. But lie couldn't think of encountering the wet inap propriately clad, and s-o he deferred jumping overboard until he could do so an proper form. Next morning, with the resiliency of youth, liu was feeling better, and he arrived in New York j buoyant, hopeful and strong. "And, curiously enough, while in 1 other respects he remained as punctili ous as ever about his dress, he never after that wore a mackintosh; and he ! went out in all sorts of weather with- : out hesitation. It was his-carelessness in this regard that led finally to death. Out without a mackintosh in a heavy rain at the age of 07 lie caught a cold : that settled 011 his lungs, developed into 1 pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of ray friend that he owed his long life, and his death, to the same cause." HOW HE VOTED. Character \N bo Had a Way for Cir cumventing Inspector*. Citizens of the Second district of the Fourth ward, says the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, are having considerable fun with a well-known character of the vicinity who developed a novel idea of the blanket ballot sys tem of voting, 011 election day. For the purposes of this narrative the char acter may be called Tom. Tic was given ; a ballot by the election officers, and re tired into one of the compartments to make his little cross marks. After re maining in the booth for a time Tom emerged with a self-satisfied air, but empty handed. "Where's your ballot?" asked an elec tion officer. "Oh, that's all right," replied Tom. "I put it In there all right." "You haven't voted yet; go back and get your ballot." "Yes. 1 have; you can't fool me; 1 voted it in there; you can't get a sight at my vote." After a little more argument on the same line an investigation was begun, which resulted in the discovery that Tom bad carefully marked his ballot, to his own satisfaction, folded it up and slipped it through a crack inlheback I of the booth. From there it had slipped down into a pile of agricultural imple ments stored in the place, and it. was with no little labor and some difficulty that it was "fished" out and returned to the would-be voter, who, much against }.is will, was obliged to permit the in spectors to handle it before it was de posited in the box.

JANUARY 0. ISK. Sunday I'ulcer Chips. I No more will the ratil. of.the peker ohip be heard in the land where laws against gambling are enforced. Sun ■ genius has invented chips that d not "speak to each other in passing." '1 .aw are made of soft rubber and look and feel like discs of jujube paste. \Yh n a man "calls" you with a stack of them you must look, for you cannot.hear them rattle on- the table. The noiseless I übips are a boon to players who in j dulge iii' a little game in a boarding house room of a Sunday afternoon, says the Kansas City Star. And they are a boon- to hotel proprietors who have a room set apart for poker-playing guests. A detective could hold his ear to a keyhole all nlglit without determin ing whether it was a game of whist or {H>kcr that was going oil' inside. The new poker chips come in red, white and blue colors, and are as flexible as a loser's conscience. The poker room proprietor and Sunday afternoon play ers have all laid in a supply, and the j noisy ivory and celluloid chips, with j holes bored in them, will soon begin to ! do duty as dress buttons. | Such a fundamental question in litera ! ture as the following, says Z ion's Her ald, should not long remain unan swered: "it beats me," he said, as he. j laid down his newspaper, though fully. 1 T dllano's 1 ever thought of it before. I but wow theti it does come tor my mind, it certainly beats me." "What air y talking about ?" asked his wife*, anxious ly. "Literaitoor," he answered. "Course. 1 we've seen it showed up in the newspu . pers time and ag'in how all an editor 1 is ter sit. down weth a pot o' paste an' a . pair of scissors, an' cutout things to put | inter 'is paper." "Certainly. I don't j see nothin' so beat in' 'bout that." "Rut . this is the question: Some feller liez ter git them pieces up in- the first place. It never struck me afore, but I'm blest of I wouldn't like tor know who the IV!- j ler is that starts in ail' gits u:p them there things fur the editors ter cut out." New Orleans estimates its less from the yellow fever epidemic at $25,00<>.c00, j and it is doubtful if this corns all the incidental damages. A twentieth of that sum spent in-san itation would be called excessive, yet there are that would make it a most profit::lde j investmenft. Owe particular fact about this year's outbreak of yellow fever in New Orleans is that the normal average aiortaliiy of the city has been but slight | >' increased. The rate, with the cp!- ! domic at its height, was but a fraction ! i over 25 per 1,000 annually, -which i ; about the same as that of New Yorl. j city during the same time. On a small bulletin board fastenc I 10 the exterior of a.North side (Chicago) •:aloon, and illustrated at the top by j ; !l portrait of an emaciated young worn - | an—done in linseed oil and tomatoes —looking through the bars of a jail, | appears beneath this display this j legend: "Justice for all. Legal ad vice on all matters one dollar per ease." | Query: Quarts or pints? I One theory advanced in regard to I football is that the students need just such a sport to discipline their animal j spirits, and that formerly many found ! a safety valve in chopping wood aind gardening to pay expenses at college. Rut it does not appear that the old time students flourished the ax and hoe so vigorously as to produce fatal results. The full name of the smallest state in the union is "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." a 1 iid the legal title of its chief officer ! is "Governor, Captain, General and Commander-in-Chief." A Georgia girl who was told that ! eating tallow candles would make her complexion white tried it. and succeed- I ed. The neighbors say she made a ; beautiful remains. That St. Louis court which decided that smoke is not a nuisance at com mon law assuredly did not include i cigarette smoke in its opinion. It is told of two men of RreWer.
