The word suipe, ns expressive of con tempt with an intimation of priggish cess or pettiness, especially impertiu- ; ■ence, was very common in Philadel- j pliia as far back as 1535, as I can well recall my indignation when called by i it. There can be no question that it came into use from the German schnlpp or sclinippiseb—snappish, pert, tamy. "Gutter-snipe" began to ap pear in newspapers some years later, it would, however, be curious to as certain whether the term does not ex ist in some form in old provincial Eng lish. "Gutter" was very naturally added l'roiu its association with mud.

People ( % said she had "soured on the tvovlil;" and. assuredly, judging from the sharp, bitter remarks which often passed her lips, one would not imag inc tls.it she found the world full of sweenies> and light. The Kingstown people would have opened their eyes could they have seen the old maid one winter evening, when, having returned from a walk, she tun w herself on her couch and shed a flood of tears. "Can I never forget him, or learn to despise the man who spurned my love?" she murmured. "Ah, Dick, Dick! I never will cense to love you!*' Suddenly she rose and dashed away her tears and a bitter, mocking smile played about her lips. "There Is 110 man in the wide world worth a tear--lr*t he, least of all," she said fiercely; "and 1 will never think of him again!" Alas, poor Re becca! She knew too well how little she could keep her promise to herself, for the very sight of Dick Waldron, white-haired and stooped though he was, was enough to set her heart strings to tingling. Her story was one net uncommon in New England village life. When preparations were going on for her marriage to Richard Waldron, Rebec ca's mother, who was a widow, fell ill. Richard, who had been waiting for a long time for Rebecca, insisted upon the marriage being performed without delay, for, as their new home would be within sight cf thefl Stoner place, Rebecca could still be with her mother and oversee a nurse. But the mother selfishly objected. "She knew that Rebecca would not he the same to her after marriage; no one else could aurse her as well, and she wculd not ho in their way long. She would go gladly as soon as she was called up higher," etc. So Rebecca, 3ick at heart, hut not daring, raised as she had been, to re sent parental authority, offered Dick his freedom. He stormed angrily at first, hut see ing her pain and distress at last said to her: "Rebecca, you are spoiling two lives, I fear, by your mistaken notion of duty, hut I must submit. But when you are free j*ou have only to write me—for I cannot sta>* here—and call me hack. Whenever 3*oll send I will come, for I will never love any woman hut you, and will he faithful to 3*oll always." All might have gone well had it not boon that Mrs. Stoner again selfishly Interfered. "Rebecca and Dick must not write to each other, it would only keep Rebecca's mind in a tumult, and she would not stand In their way long. She was ready to go to heaven at any time, she had never harmed a living creature, she would gladly free them of her presence," and more canting talk like this, which did nothing to heal Rebecca's sore heart. As a matter of fact the old lady held 011 to life with a tenacious grasp and lived five more years of helpless In validism, selfish to the last. When at last Rebecca was free she hesitated about recalling Dick, whom she still fondly loved. What If he had married since he had left her; men were inconstant by nature, she ar gued. Yet the remembrance of Dick's face and bis words as he bade her good-by forced her to believe in bis constancy. Another doubt assailed her —she had changed during live years' attendance in the sickroom, and had lost much of her girlish charm; per haps lie would not. care for her. Finally her love conquered, and she wrote him a letter which would have brought him, a happy, eager lover, io her side. But in some unaccountable way lie* letter was lost In transit. Dick never received the message call ing him back to Rebecca, and she sup posed, as ho did not return, that he spurned the love she offered. Natur ally she was almost heartbroken, lost her faith in man and never wrote again. He, 011 his part, receiving no word after the death of Mrs. Stoner, supposed Rebecca's love had cooled and railed at the inconstancy of woman. But lie never wrote, even to upbraid her. Years passed and he tin ally returned to live in his old home, but, though he and Rebecca passed each other daily, there was never speech hetweep them. The 3* were now luiddle-aged and each lived alone. One night Rebecca in 11 restless mood started out for a walk. She had gone as far as Dick Waldron's cottage when she thought she heard a groan. She stoppt-1 then, with fast beating heart, ran up to the door and listened. The groan N\ l as repeated, and, hesitating 110 longer, she pushed open the door and entered. Almost 011 the thres hold she stumbled over his prostraie form. 111 a moment she was on her knees and lifted his head upon her breast. "Dick, my darling are 3*ou hurt?" she whispered, passionately kissing his closed eyes and rubbing his cold hands. Aroused by her words he struggled to rise, but fell back. But be knew her. "All, Rebecca, you have been cruel to me," he murmured. Tiled, almost under his breath, he said: "When pain and anguish wring the brow, a ministering angel thou." "I fell and broke my leg and crawled to the door for help," he began t. explain, but fainted away. When KiclMrd Waldron recovered consciousness he found the doctor be side blm instead of Rebecca. "Miss Stoner saved your life, I firmly be lieve," the doctor said. "I know she did," echoed Dick. But be meant something the doctor could not understaud. The next day Rebecca received an urgent note from her old lover beg ging her to come to him. Rlie could not refuse, for. as she told herself, ha might bo dying. Wlien she saw hi in, pale and suffering, but smiling gladly because she bad come, the sharp eyes j softened and tlie hard lines about her moutli seemed to disappear, and her heart beat with a wild hope that after all a new day of happiness was | about to dawn for her. All that had seemed so lncompre* [ henslble to them w<is now cleared up. I air hough the missing-letter was never : traced, and the vilmge people were | shocked the next day to learn that | Rebecca had married Dick Waldron when he was sick in bed. "Took ad ; vantage of his helpless situation," i some openly declared. Others derided, but some sympathized. Rebecca heard this statement, but she did not care. Dick had begged her to marry him at once, and she felt she owed it to him—as well as to herself—* to comply, and so she nursed him back to life and the happiness they came so near missing, and it was still sweet, although it came so late.—Chicago Times-Ilerald. .—r FLAGSTAFF'S ICE MINE. An IncxhniiHtiblo Underground Supplj For a Town in Arizona. Flagstaff, a comfortable logging town on the Santa Fe Pacific Railway in Arizona, has been provided by na ture with the queerest icemaklng plant kuown, declares the New York Sun. j During the past summer a large part of tlid towii's ice supply has been se cured from caves in the pine wood, nine miles to the southward. The caves are in lava formation, the geological capping of the entire coun try. Entering to the main cavern, through a narrow slit in the malapal rock, necessitates a vertical drop of ten feet to the floor of a passage that runs further in, till blocked by Ice barriers. The temperature iu the cave, even in the height of summer, is about the freezing point. Many visitors have been prostrated by the cold after mak ing too long a stay. The ice, which is as hard as Ice can be, tills every nook and cranny beyond the short black hallway that leads in ward from the entrance. When dug away in whatever quantity it seems to grow again from behind in the man ner of the creep of glaciers. The depth or size of the deposit is not known. It is even believed tliar there is an un derground ice lake of immense dimen sions. How the deposit was formed Is a puzzle that lias uot been solved by geo logists or ice miners. The region is almost destitute of surface or well water, and the mean temperatures are far above the thcrmoinetric figure that would appear to render such a deposit possible. But the ice is there, and the product of the unique mine has been sold daily in Flagstaff. An Impossible Attempt* An English country gentleman who prides himself on having one of tlie best-stocked farmyards of England is known throughout a large district for the many ingenious devices he has in vented for Improving the condition and providing for the comfort of bis poultry. A short time ago lie remarked that he saw no reason why ducks and geese should not perch as well as other feathered bipeds. He had his lien houses enlarged and fitted with broad lurches for the accommodation of the aquatic fowls. At evening he drove all the ducks and geose Into their new quarters and disposed them on their perches. As fast as he stood half a dozen up on the elevated structures they fluttered down again, lie kept at theiu until thoy were so exhausted and frightened that they remained where they were placed. Thinking that he had succeeded he left tliem, for hall au hour and returned. They were all down again. He thereupon ordered them all to bo killed. Even the inge nuity of a genius cannot devise a plan whereby chickens may be taught te swim or ducks and geese to perch. VoUran Cir Driver and Motorman.

A CANINE MAIL CARRIER. How A Itrnve ftiulii© DOR Died While I'erlormlnur It* Duty, There are about 20 dwelling houses, a blacksmith's shop and a small store on the east side of Long Pond, Me. In 1898, when Shufter and Sampson were pounding away at the south side of Cuba, the citizens could stand their isolation no longer, and sent a petition to Senator llale asking for a postofflce, and requesting that it be named Santiago. The demand was granted so quickly that everybody wished he had thought of such a plan 25 years before. Santiago is four miles distant from Dedham, from which place it is only two miles to George's Corner, on the line of the Par Harbor railroad. On the south side, however, it was only three miles from East Bucksport, where a rail road connects with Bangor. John Hubbard, of Santiago, had been carry ing the daily mail to East Bucksport, crossing on the ice in the winter and making a wide detour around the pond during warm weather. An aged Newfoundland dog, who had earned retirement in a bear fight years be fore, was Hubbard's attendant on every trip. The dog was in the habit of following the mail wagon down in the forenoon, and then if the day proved warm he would swim back home, allowing Hubbard to go his roundabout course alone. Hubbard noted the actions of the dog, and came to the conclusion that he could make some profit by cultivating tha habit. He was making two trips a day, which was a waste of good time, when he could make the dog perform one trip alone, and thus have the whole afternoon left for hunting bears. The next morning he forgot to feed the dog before starting out. On arriving at East Bucksport he took the post masffir aside and confided his plan for carrying the mail by dog power. "Here's a water-tight bag," said Hubbard. "I'll chain up the dog before I go homo. I want you to keep him fast until the mail comes up from Bucksport. Don't feed hira or go near him. As scon as the mail gets in tie the bag to his neck and let him go. I'll warrant he'll get the mail to Santiago ahead of time. Hubbard's idea worked splendidly all summer. The dog was at home and the mail was distributed inside half an hour, while it had always taken Hubbard more than an hour to go round the pond. He was sav ing time and money and giving per fect satisfaction. Along in the mid dle of October there came a day that was cold, so that shell Ice formed on the pond. Later the wind grew to a gale. When the stage came in there was a big bundle of mail for Santiago, consisting of political docu ments for the voters and a score or so of official reports from Washing ton. The mail route fight at Santiago had made the place famous. Port master Hewey tied the heavy mass to the dog's neck with many misgiv ings. Then he fed three links of new sausago to the animal and cut it loose. That night the neighbors waited un til 9 o'clock for the arrival of the mail, which was duo two hours earlier. Then Hubbard harnessed his horse and drove furiously to East Bucks port to look up his dog. He did not return until nearly midnight. Patrons of Santiago postofflce knew what had happened as soon as they looked at Hubbard's face. The dog had attempt ed to swim the pond, carrying a heavy load in the face of rough water and high wind and had been drowned while in the performance of his duty. They dragged the pond two days be fore the body was found. The mail was unharmed. They burled the dog under a big apple tree.—Boston Transcript. At tlm bottom of tho Orcnn. One haul of a trawl in the Pacific brought up from a depth of nearly three miles many bushels of mangan ese nodules, 1500 sharks' teeth and 50 fragments of the bones of whales. But beyond these, all other objects which might bo expected to drop from the surface pre wanting. It is not surprising, however, in view of the terrible pressure of the water at those great depths. Nothing not es pecially adapted for it could with stand it. It is calculated that one mile beneath the surface the pressure of the water on all sides of an object is one ton to the square inch. In view of this it was formerly sun posed that the pressure at tho lowest depth must be great enough to turn the bottom to stone. But the dredge shows this to be untrue. The fish that live in these deep holes are soft and gelatinous, tho only condition in fact which would save them from the effects of the pressure. The water permeates their soft struc ture and counteracts its own pressure.

The San* in tlie I>louth of a Snail. It is a fortunate thing l'or man and the rest of the animal kingdom that no larger wild animal has a mouth built on the plan of the insig nificant-looking snail's mouth, for such an animal could devour anything that lives. Any one who has noticed a snail feeding must have wondered how such a soft, flabby, slimy animal can make such a sharp and clean-cut incision in a leaf, leaving an edge as smooth and straight as if it had been cut with a knife. That is due to the peculiar and formidable mouth he has. The snail eats with his tongue and the roof of his mouth. The tongue is a ribbon which the snail keeps in a coil in his mouth. This tongue is in reality a handsaw, with the teeth on the surface instead of on the edge. The teeth are so small that as many as 20.000 of them have been found on one snail's tongue. Thoy are exceedingly sharp, and only a few of them are used at a time. Not exactly only a few of them, but a few of them comparatively, for the snail will probably have 4000 or 5000 of them in use at once. He does this by means of his coiled tongue. He can uncoil as much of this as he chooses, and the uncoiled part he brings into service. The roof of his mouth is as hard as bone. He graspes the leaf between his tongue and that hard substance, and, rasping away with his tongue, saws through the toughest leaf with ease, always leaving the edge smooth and straight. By use the teeth wear off or become dulled. When the snail finds that his saw is becoming dull he uncoils an other section and works with that out until he has come to the end of the coil. Then ho coils the tongue up again and .is ready to start in new, for while he has been using the latter portions of the ribbon the teeth have grown in again in the idle portions—the saw has been filed and reset, s6 to speak—and while he is using them the teeth in the back coil arc renewed. The TSurne. "Yes," said Mr. Hlllier, as he care fully dug around my pansy bed, "oh, yes'm, I've seen elephants in India many a time. I was stationed at one point with the English army, you know, where 1 saw one who used to take care of children. "Take care of the children! Ho.v could it be? What do you mean?" "Well, he did, ma'am. It was wonder ful what that elephant knew. The first time I made his acquaintance he gave me a blow that I had reason to re member. I was on duty in the yard, and the colonel's little child was play ing about; and she kept running too near, I thought, to the elephant's feet. I was afraid he would put his great clumsy feet on her by mistake, so I made up my mind to carry her to a safer place. I stooped to pick her up. and the next thing 1 knew I had had a knock which sent me fiat on the ground. Tho elephant had hit me with his trunk. One of the servants came along just then, and helped me up; and. when I told him about it, said he: 'I wonder the old fellow didn't kill you. It isn't safe for anybody to inter fere with that baby when he has it in his charge. I have you to know that he is that baby's nurse.' "Well, I thought he was just say ing it for sport; but, sure enough, after a while the nurse came out with the child fast asleep in her arms, and what did she do but lay it in the elephant's trunk, as though it had been a cradle. And the great fellow stood there fo.' more than an hour, watching that baby, and rocking It gently now and then! "He was real good to the other chil dren, too. It used to he his business to take the family outriding. Thecolonel's lady would come out and mount to her cushioned seat in his back; and. then, one by one, the children would be given to the elephant, and he would hand them up to the mother nicer than any nurse or servant could, you know, because he could reach, and knew how to do it. Oh, an elephant is an uncommonly handy nurse, when he is trained to the business, and faith ful, I tell you. You can trust him every time." —Pansy, Drneons and Tlialr Wnyft in Cliina. In China the five-clawed dragon i? the emblem of royalty. Usually it is pictured as rising from the sea and clutching at the sun, thus expressing the idea of universal dominion. The emperor's person is called the dragon's body, his throne the dragon's throne. To see the emperor, a privilege al lowed to but few. is to see the dragon's face. The emperor's crest is a dragon; a dragon appears on the Chinese flag. The dragon is called "Lung" in China and symbolizes all that is im posing and powerful. The mass of the people believe in the dragon as an actual existence, and waste much time and money in attempting to propitiate the monster. The dragon has been described by Chinese writers as a most fearful looking monster, and they give it all sorts of extraordinary attributes. ' -' There are three kinds of dragons, one of the sky, one of the marshes and one of the sea. The two former remain in their habitat, but the lat ter, the most powerful, can rise to the sky and holds dominion over tho rivers. This dragon is greatly feared by fishermen, and they take great pains to treat it with due respect and court esy. Every spring the fishermen gather and march in precession in honor of the dragon, each man carry ing a pole with a lantern made in the form of a fish. A huge dragon, body, heads the procession. For a animated by men concealed in his month during the early summer the fishermen set fire to joss papers and throw them upon the waters to ap pease the Lung Wang, as the water dragon is called. And at all seasons the fishermen throw over vast quan tities of firecrackers from their boats in order to ko p the Lung away. The Lung is supposed not to like the noise of exploding crackers. All mandarins of high rank have a dragon embroidered in gold thread or colored silks oil the front and back of their coats. This dragon is distinguished, however, from the im perial dragon by having nut four claws. The dragon is also a favorite emblem upon plates and cups among the richer classes. —Chicago Record. Tlio lJoy ttti<l the Monkey. Mary E. Wilkins' animal stories in Harper's are something entirely out of her usual line. Here Is a delightful bit from "The Monkey." "The boy went as usual to the monkey's den, and the monkey came to tho side of it, and the two mouthed at c-ach other silently with perfect un derstanding. When the boy was leaving the shop the bird-fancier stopped him. He had been having a whispered con sultation with his wife. "See here," he said; "if you want that monkey you can have him." The boy turned pale and stared at him. "I will put him In an old parrot-cage," said tho bird-fancier, "and you can stop and get him this noon." "For nothing?" gasped the boy. "Yes, for nothing," replied the bird fancier. "I am tired of keeping him. Monkeys ain't very saleable." "For nothing?" repeated the boy. "Yes, you needn't pay a cent," said the bird-fancier, looking at him curiously. Such an expresson of rapture came into the boy's face that it was fairly glorified. It was broadened with smiles until it looked cherubic. His brown eyes were like stars. "Thank you," ho stammered, for he was at that time of life when he was ashamed of saying thank you. Then he went out, and to school, and for the first time in months learned h's lessons with no effort, and seemed to see truths clearly and not through a fog. Ho had a great happiness to live up to, and for some minds happiness is the only dispeller of fogs, and the boy's was of that sort. After school he ran all the way home to make sure that the monkey would be welcome, and that his mo ther would not refuse him shelter, tlun he went without his dinner to fetch him. When the boy arrived at the bird fancier's the monkey was all ready to depart, ensconced in the old parrot cage. The boy went out of the store, dragged to one side with the weight of his precious burden, and for the first time in his life tho ecstasy of possession was upon him. He had never fairly known that he was alive . until he had come Into tho owner ship of this tiny life ot love. The bird-fancier watched him going j down the street, and turning to his I wife, who was stroking the Angora cat, and the cousin, who wa3 feeding a canary which had just arrived. < The boy, going down tho street, had his face bent over the monkey, and j the two were mouthing at each other. "I am right, you may depend upon It," he said. "There goes ore monkey carrying another." Ho llnd .lust Gone Oirt. A woman entered the elevator at the district government building and said to the boy in charge: "I want to see a gentleman in this building. 1 do not remember his name and I do not know where he works. Pel haps you can help me find him." "There is no use looking for him." v -; replied the boy, "he has just gone out." "Oh, thank you," said the woman absently, "I am sorry, but tell him I will come again."—Washington Corre spondence in Chicago Record.
