How A SENATOR was "OUT'' ON DIM
NER.-Senator Nesmith, according to the
following experience, incident to having re-
ceived an invitation to dine from judge
Holt:
Fully equipped he .repairet! 10 the house
of the eminet jurist at seven O'Clock p. M.
Ringing the doorbell, he was asked for his
name, which was given on neatly written
card done at the National Hotel by ihe
cardwritcr, and the. guest was conducted
across a cold porch into dimly-lit, cold
parlor. Here he sat. wondering how it
happened that he was among the first
guests, and getting chilled to the bone, for
it was a very cold night. In a few min
utes he was Joined by the Judge Advocate
General in a most extraordinary dinner
dress, consisting Of a gown and slippers
the last very much down at the heel. The
The chilliness of the room seemed to be in
creased by the entrance of the host, who is
generally as cold as au icicle, but on this
occasion seemed to be the North Pole. AZ
ter few minutes conversation the host in-
vited his skivering guest into the library,
where-a warm FIRE made them more COM
Portable. For an hour the two dicussed
the condition of the Union, but Nesmith
saw no gests arriving, and heard no rat
ting of dishes. From eight till nine they
dwelt principally on our foreign relations,
and yet no dinner From nine till ten the
conversation was desultory and miscella-
neous, and yet no dinner. Nesmith, who
bad all bis life been used to dining at noon,
had abstained on this day, and now found
himself hungry enough to eat his host.
Eleven O'Clock came, and while Nesmith
tried his best to talk the host seemed to draw
within himself, and might have been taken
for bronze statue but for the monosylla-
bles Eyes" and ''No' that dropped out at
times like three pennies from n nail-ma-
chine.
In the midst of spasmodic effort at a
sentence from Nesmith. Judge Holt sud-
denly got up and said solemnly Senator,
you must excuse me, but l have an en-
gagement.; Nesmith jumped up with as
much alacrity as his weakness would per-
NIT, and staggered out. The Judge accom-
panied him to the front door, and when
bidding him good night" said:
81 hope, Senator, you will not forget our
little dinner party for tomorrow night"
''Holy Moses - cried Nesmith, family,
Il thought it was tonight"

WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEST.-Dr.
Beard states that from an analysis of the
lives of a thousand representative men in
all the great branches Of human effort, he
made the discovery that the golden decade
was between 80 and 40, the silver between
40 and 80, the brazen between 20 and 30,
the iron between 80 and 60. The superb
ority OF youth and middle life over did age
in original work appears all the greater,
when we consider the fact that nearly all
the positions of honor and profit and pres
tige-professorships and public stations
are in the hands of the old. Men are not
widely known until long after they have
done their work that give them their fame.
Portraits of great men are delusiOn sta
tues are lies. They are taken when men
have become famous, which, on the aver
age, is at least twenty-five years after they
did the work which gave them their fame.
Original work requires enthusiasm. If all
the original work done by men under 40
were annihilated, the world would be re-
duced to barbariSm

Humboldt, in his Cosmos" states that
the Chinese had magnetic carriages with
which to guide themselves across the great
plains of Tartary, one thousands years be-
fore our era, on the principal of the COM

by Professor Wheatstone, was known to
Euclid, described By Galen fifteen hundred

a DRINK IN THE DARK.-One New
Years night Chubb came home very late,
and when lie went up stairs his wife and
children were in bed asleep His undress-
ed as softly Us inc could, and theH be Ielt
thirsty Fortunately he saw gobletfui
standing on the washstand, placed there
for him evidently by Mrs. Chubb. lie
seized it and drank the liquid in two or
three huge gulps. but just as he was drain
ing the goble, be gagged, dropped the gi:Iss
to the tloor, where if was shivered to atoms,
while be elected something from his month.
He was certain that live animal Of some
kind had been in the water, and that he
had nearly swallowed it. This theory was
confirmed when he saw the object which he
spit out go bounding over the floor. He
pursued it, kicking a couple of chairs over
ON it and held it. OF course Mrs. Chubb
was awake by this time and scared nearly
to death, and the baby was screaming at
the top of its lungs Mrs. Chubb got out
of bed and turned up the gas, aud said:
''Mr. Chubb, what in the name of COM
mon sense is the matter ?''
sits mouse, Louisa ~ shouted Chubb
in an excited manner. ''Its mouse iu
the goblet. / nearly swallowed it, but L
spit it out, and now I've got my foot on it.
Ge: 4 stick and kill it quick ~
Mrs. Chubb was at first disposed to jump
on chair and scream for, ike all wo-
men, she feared a mouse as much as she
did tiger. But at Chubb's solicitation
she got broom and prepared to demolish
the mouse when Chubb lifted his foot He
drew back and aimed Il fearful blow at the
object and missed it. Then, as it did not
move, she took good look at it. Then
she threw down the broom, and after cast
ing look of scorn at Chubb she said
''Come to bed, you old fool that's nota
mouse.n
'What d'you mean ?''
why, you simpleton. that's the baby-s
India rubber bottle top that put in The
goblet to keep it sweet. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself carrying on in this
manner at one O'Clock in the morning."
