sailor answered, "About ten minutes.

"About ten minutes"
Out come the lawyers watch, as he
said. "Pil tell you when to begin and
you tell me when the ten minutes are
up"
AYE, aye, sir" said the sailor.
The lawyer stood with his back to a
mantel on which q little clock was
facing the sailor.
After three minutes the lawyer ex.
claimed, "See here, are you going to

No answer.
The hand of the clock was on the ex-

An Idol Smashed.
Newburyport Herald.

A series of revival meetings was in
progress, and the subject on one even
ing was the book of Ruth. Among
the congregation was brother whom
the sisters delighted to dear. His Ian
guage was always fowery-grandly
eloquent. Waiting for his caance, he
at length arose and said: Brethren
and sisters, the subject this evening is
the book of Ruth. Aud do you know
that l never turn to the book of Ruth
without g thought coming to my mind
that there it lies, like beautiful jewel,
between the ermine of the Judges and
the purple of the Kings" Such an
exquisite thought did not fail to have
its effect upon his admiring hearers.
Later in the evening an elderly clergy
man came in, and after listening to
the remarks for some time, arose and
said:
"My friends, whenever turn to the
book OF Ruth, am always reminded
of that beautiful quotation from Taylor,
that it lies, like lovely jewel, between
the ermine of the Judges and the pur-
pie of the Kings" And he sat down,
blissfully unaware of the idol he had
smashed.

A Chicken Story.

This is from Chicago. A hen with q
flock of ten chickens found herself un-
able to provide for them. She secured
the town and made incursions into the
surroundir G country, but the chickens
had genuine Chicago appetites, and
wouldn't be satisfied with anything less
than quail on toast, it is supposed. At
last the dispirited mother, one day last
week, fastened her head between two
pickets of fence and dropped off,
thereby committing suicide. But here
comes III the only extraordinary part
of this story. The ten chickens which
would hardly be considered desirable
to adops after the circumstances of
their mothers death, were adopted by
a cat. The cat takes care of them
with the most finished skill, and has
actually learned to cackle like Chica-
go hen, in order to please her proteges.
Curious things happen under demo-
cratic city administrations.

POOR WIDOWS DAMAGES.

Not long ago man crossing q rail

also hurried into eternity. The man
while sober was gentleman, but when
drunk was perfect tyrant of the deep
est dye. Without any provocation
whatever he used to beat his wife and
lock her up in the wardrobe, hence
when she heard of his death it was not
so much case of heavy bereavement
as it was of mitigated affection. As the
engineer of the locomotive was clearly

ed to the widow that she bring suit
for damages. She resolved to do so and
called at the Office of the railway com.
pany. The proper official happened to
be in. The widow had such clear case
against the company that it was deem
ed advisable to compromise the mat-
ter.
"Now, madam" said the official,
after the widow had thrown back her
veil and stated her business, "we are
willing to do what is fair in this matter.
There is really no occasion to go to law.

There is 10 art by which the color

Williams. "The iris consists of cur
tain which is on the inside of the eye

with pigment which varies in color,
as We see daily, a9d is in characteristic
harmony with the hair and complexion

CAN be effected in the appearance of
the eye is accomplished by the use OF
belladonna. Ladies who have light
eyes, which they wish to darken, drop
into them a solution of belladonna,
! which has the effect of largely dilasing
| the pupil. The hight color of the iris
is thus displaced by the deep black OF
the pupil and the appearance of the
eye is greatly changed. Many
ladies practice this habit, which is not
harmful, although it causes
considerable discomfort. After lady
has given her eyes dose of belladon-
ma, its immediate action is to dilste the
| pupils and they remain so, no matter
how intense the light may be. Thus

which the natural color of the iris can

A few evenings ago while half a
dozen gentlemen were standing at the
bar of one of the most fashionable us-
town saloons weh-dressed, good lock
ing stranger entered the room and
walked straight to the bar and address,
ed the barkeeper in language like the
following:
stranger, am in = very, very bad
condition. want drink; must have
drink, but am compelled to make
the humiliating statement that I am
unable at present to pay for it. If you
will be kind enough 10 favor me in my
extremity you shall be paid, SIR"
s'We don't keep whiskey to give away
here" was the 6lunt reply of the bar
keeper. Toe stranger begged, but the
barkeeper was memorable and even
rude. The miid-mannered stranger
turned to the gentlemen who had been
witnesses to the conversation and said:
Gentlemen, you are all strangers to
me, but would one of you be kind
enough TO loan me the price of drirk.
I viii pay it back"
One of the party addressed handed
the stranger Is cents.
He stepped to the bar and said:

can get drink for The money here"
81 thought So" said the stranger.
The bottle or red Ticker" was placed
on the bar. The stranger filled his
glass literally.
"a little bitters in there, If you
please" said the stranger. Then, when
the bittcrs were furnished, he asked FOR
larger glass of water, which was also
set up. The stranger drank his beYer-
age and then turned to the man who
had loaned him the money and said:
Stranger, I make it point of honor
to pay borrowed money before I pay
whiskey bills; here is your Is cents; I
am greatly obliged for the loan." And
80 saying ne walked out. The dszsd
barkeeper. seeing that he was sold, and
that the laugh was on him, ran to the
door and called to the stranger to come

Good HQnlOr.

Good humor is rightly reckoned q
most valuable aid to happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty Is
a little fun along with the humdrum
cares and works of life. We all know
how it brightens up things generally to
have lively, witty companion, VIII
sees the ridiculous point of things, and
can turn an annoyance into an occa-
sion for laughter. 1t does great deal
better to laugh over some domestic
mishaps than to cry or scold about
them. Many homes and lives are dull
because they are allowed to become
too deeply impressed with the cares
and responsibilities of life to recognize
its bright and especially its mirthful
side. In such household, good, but
dull, the advent of a witty, humorous
friend is like sunshine on d cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say witty
or funny things, it is comfortable, see
ing what brjghtener little fun is, to
make an effort to make some at home.
1t is we'll to turn off an impatient ques-
ton sometimes and to regard it from
d AuLhOiOuS pOiut iuSIGdu VI DSluS IT.
ritated by it. 'Wife, what is the rea-
son l never Can fine clean shirl?' ex-
claimed good, but rather impatient
husband after looking all through the
wrong drawer. His wife looked at him
steadily for a moment, half inclined to
be provoked; then, with a comical look,
she said, 81 never guess conundrums;
l give it up" Then he laughed, and
they both laughed, and she went and
got his shirt, and he felt ashamed of
himself and kissed her; and then she
felt happy, and SO what might have
been the occasion for hard words and
unkind feelings became just the con-
trary, all through the little vein of
2umor that cropped out to the surface.
Some people have peculiar faculty
for giving humorous turn TO things
when they ale repr0ved. 1t does just
as well oftentimes to laugh things off as
to scold them off. Laughter is better
that tears. Let us have little more
of it at home.
