How Blaine Remembered Henderson. ' i It was before General Henderson had been elected to congress, and Blaine i was speaker of tlie house. Henderson ! < was in Washington, and naturally Blaine was one of the statesmen that i he much desired to meet, and tlie op- j 1 portunity came of a morning just as | ; the speaker was passing through tlie j lobby on his way to the marble ros trum. The formal greetings were ex- I i changed in a brief moment, and Gener- | : al Henderson was left to see the swing- 1 ing doors close 011 the form of the Re- j 1 publican leader. } 1 Six years later General Henderson again came to Washington, this time to 1 get lowa divided into two judicial dis- j 1 trlcts. lie put up at Wormley's, where 1 Blaine also lived, it being in those days 1 a fashionable and flourishing hostelry. 1 A week or so after tiis arrival from lowa, as General Henderson was en- 1 terlng the dining room, he met Blaine 1 after having passed and repassed him 1 many times. The Maine man grasped I him cordially by the band, called him by name and inquired about lowa. "1 had heard of Senator Blaine's < wonderful faculty for remembering 1 names," says General Henderson. I ' "When I had seated myself at the table, I beckoued to the head waiter. "'Hasn't Mr. Blaine asked you my 1 name?' I said to him. 'Now think hard and be sure of your answer.' " 'Yes, sail,' replied the waiter. 'He done called me ovah las' night an asked yo' name an all about yo'. 1 told him yo' was Mistah Henderson.' Washington Post. Origin of the Voarmite Valley, It is perfectly obvious to those famil iar with glacial phenomena that Y'o- Bemite Is quite an ordinary and neces sary product of glacial erosion under the conditions prevailing in that local ity. The main glacier came down Te nayn canyon, cutting it to a steep hut fairly uniform grade, l'osemite valley is but a continuation of that gorge. The end of the glacier at the time that it was cutting Yosomite extended not far beyond Fort Monroe. It remained there for a long time and therefore plowed out the bottom of the valley to a considerable depth. Branch glaciers joined tlie Tenaya glacier when it filled Yoscmlte, coming down the valleys of Y'oscnilte, Little Yosemite, Illllouettc and Bridal Veil and other creeks and forming hanging valleys at the junc tion points. The formation of the ver tical cliffs of the valley may have been due to undermining and may have been aided by the cleavage of the rocks. On the recession of tlie glacier doubtless the bottom of the valley was occupied by a lake which lias since been partial ly filled by detritus and drained by the erosion of Merced river cutting through the rock wall at the foot of the valley. —National Geographic Magazine.

There Is a pretty story told of Queen Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows how the modest}' of two women, the queen of England and tlie queen of song, caused a momentary awkward ness which tlie gentle tact of tlie singer overcame. It was 011 a night when Jenny Lind was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera House that the queen made her first public appearance after the memorable Chartist day. For the great artist, too, this was a first appearance, for it was tlie begin ning of her season at a place where the year before she had won unparalleled fame. It happened that the queen en tered the royal box at the same mo ment that tlie prima donna stepped up on tlie stage. Instantly a tumult of ac elamatiou burst forth. JciiDy Lind modestly retired to tlie back of the stage, waiting till the dem onstration of loyalty to the sovereign should subside. The queen, refusing to appropriate to herself that which she imagined to be intended for the artist, made uo acknowledgment. At length, when the situation became embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready tact, ran forward to the footlights and sang "God Save the Queen," which was caught up at the end of the solo by the orchestra, chorus and audience. The queen then .came to the front of her box and bowed, and the opera was resumed. Why Roniln Arc Crooked In China. The Chinese road is private property, a strip taken from somebody's laud. This is done much against the will of the owner, since he not only loses the use of it, but also still has to pay taxes 011 it. One consequence is that it is wide enough for only one vehicle, and carts can pass one another only by trespass ing 011 the cultivated land. To prevent tills the farmers dig deep ditches by tlie roadside. As the surface wears away and the dust blows off it gradu ally grows lower, and after awhile it becomes a drain for the surrounding fields. A current forms in the rainy season, which still further hollows it out, and thus lias arisen the proverb that a ro'ad a thousand years old be comes a river. Those whose lands are used for roads naturally prefer to have tlie roads run along the edge of their farms instead of cutting across them, and this ac counts for tlie fact that Chinese roads are often so crooked that one may have to go a considerable distance to reach a place that is in reality but a few miles away. This always interests the stranger.—Cliurcli Eclectic. How the Cnr Got There.

"Why, to tlie Brooklyn bridge, of course." "Get off and look at yer signs." The motorman did so and discovered that the sign on the front hood of tlie car read, "One Hundred and Thirty fifth street," the sign on the right side of the roof read, "Second avenue," and tlie sign 011 the rear hood, "Astor place." The conductor and motorman between them having adjusted the signs, tlie inspector permitted the ear to proceed.—Electrical Review. Shaves of u Lifetime.

K., noted that several of the teeth, although quite free from caries, were thickly coated with tartar. It occurred to him that it would be possible by a rough analysis to identify any particles of food that might be im bedded in this natural concrete and so reveal the character of the aliment partaken of by prehistoric man. Dis solving the tartar in a weak acid, a residue was left which, under the mi croscope, was found to consist of corn husk particles, hairs from the outside of the husks, spiral vessels from vege tables, particles of starch, the point of a lisli tooth, a conglomeration of oval cells probably of fruit, the barblets of down and portions of wool. In addition to this varied list were some round red bodies the origin of which <* tied detection and many sandy particles, some relating to quartz aud some to flint. These mineral fragments were very likely attributable to the rough stones used in grinding the corn and would account for the erosion of 1 lie masticating surfaces, which in many cases was strongly marked.

"Cheap opera glasses are nn abomi nation," said an eye specialist receutly. "There is no doubt about this. I have made a special study of the matter. Lots of eyes are nearly ruined by them. I find this particularly true of young girls who go a groat deal to the theater and who seem to think they must have opera glasses. To their way of think ing an opera glass is an opera glass, and that's all there is to it So they buy cheap ones and then wonder why they have such headaches. "Unless the very best lenses arc used I should advise everybody to taboo op era glasses. The farther from the stage one is the better aud more perfect the glasses should be. Exactly the reverse of this is actually the case, for the peo ple who sit in the rear seats or in the balcony are usually the ones who have the poorest glasses. A performance viewed with the naked eye is much more satisfactory, to my way of think ing. An opera glass gives but a limit ed view, and only the one object on which it is focused is visible. I don't see why people use even the best of them."—Philadelphia Record. The Minister Won.

Boars tho /O H' B Kind You Have Always Bought Treatment of norm. Burns may be ordinary, but tliey lose none of their smart because of the ease with which they are acquired. Some persons seem to have a perfect genius for getting burned. If they strike a inat.ch, it breaks and scorches them, while a visit to the kitchen ends in a burn from the oven or a scald from hot water or steam. Of course the right thing to do with a burn is to get it away from all contact with the air and to do this with all possible haste. The necessary articles for the treat ment should be on hand, and they are baking soda—not washing soda, notice —fresh fat of some sort and several thicknesses of cotton cloth. It is an excellent plan to have a bottle of car ron oil ready for such emergencies. Carron oil is made by shaking together equal parts of linseed oil and lime wa ter. If the skin is broken over the burn, use the oil without the soda. Otherwise moisten the soda with olive oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold cream and apply it. Over this wrap the cloth. Cotton batting is often used for covering the burn and keeping out the air, but it is not to be recommend ed. It is not a good plan to use flour, dusting it over a burn, for it frequently hardens and is of little comfort. One of the simplest measures for a superficial burn is to apply the white of an egg with a soft piece of old muslin, adding more as it dries. An Anecdofp of Verdi. The first production of Verdi's op era "Othello" took place at Milan, and all the prominent musical critics of Eu rope foregathered in the Cathedral City In honor of the occasion. Among them was a Parisian journalist of wide reputation and admitted authority in the muslcnl world. Ills first care on ids arrival In Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres ent at one of the final rehearsals. The composer received him with ex treme politeness, but replied that lie could not possibly grant his request, as he had decided that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private, and lie could not make an exception in the fa vor of any one Journalist, however dis tinguished. The Paris critic, far from pleased at this answer, protested that In these circumstancdh his account of the opera might not be all he should like it to be. "You see," he explained to the composer, who affected not quite to understand, "I shall have to telegraph my article the same evening. It will necessarily be hastily written, and the Impression in Paris the next day may suffer In consequence." But Verdi was more than equal to the occasion. "My dear sir," he made answer, "1 do not write for "the next day.' " The critic bowed himself out. litillzlnic ftn Ancestor.
