Mark TXain's Z rOmeter.

The Philadelphia Press recently con-
tanned the)following
Somebody was asking Hartford man
how it happened that Mark Twain wrote
and published SO little nowadays. "He
writes an much as ever was the reply,
"bnt his barometer'is out of order, and
he does not know what to publish, So he
publishes nothing"
What in the world has his barometer
to do do with his literary activity
His barometer is man servant
named Jacob, who is remarkable, for his
deficient sense of humor. Mark never
can Judge of his own performances.
Years ago he fell into the habit OF test
ing everything he wrote by observing its
effect upon Jacob. If jacob listened to
the reading of jest or story, with I'M
moved counteDance, or merely smiled IN
perfuctory way, Mark was satisfied and
sent the manuscript to the printer. But
if Jacob laughed outright, or gave any
other indication of genuine merriment.
the humorist concluded that the stuff
was hopeless and withheld it from publ
cation. He regarded Jacob as infallible
and came 10 lean upon his Judgment.
About three years ago, it appears,
Jacob learned for the first time from
some outsider that his master was pro
fessional humorist. He felt greatly hon
ored that he should have been chosen
habitually to enjoy the first freshness of
every new production Of genius. He did
not exactly understand why he should
have been thus chosen. but felt in
vague way that great humorist must
need sympathy and appreciation, and
must naturally look for IT to the fellow
being nearest at hand. He also felt that
he had perhaps failed to be at all times
sufficiently appreciative. SO Jacob kept
his discovery to himself as far as his mas
ter was concerned, and resolved to be as
apprecia,ive in the future as nybody
could desire.
Zone day Mark called Jacob in and
read him a sketch entitled, The Cow
and the Lightning rod Man. In COM
posing it Mark had fattered himself that
he had struck q pretty fine streak. To
his amazement Jacob put back his head
and roared. With half-suppressed eiac-
uiation Mark dashed the manuscript into
the waste basket. Then Mark waited six
weeks or two months to collect his forces
(for he is never precipitate in anything
he doesl and achieved romance called
How Bounced the Baby He sum
moned Jacob and watched his face with
obvious anxiety as he read the touching
narrative. Jacobs mirth was painful to
observe. Mark tore up the story and
then tore his hair.
Two or three experiments of this sort
with unvaryinR results, persuaded Mark
Twain that the malaria, which he had
been dreading ever since il began to
creep up the Connecticut valley, had
reached him at last. and destroyed his
powers of usefulness. he fell into set

Why Some People are Poor.

Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are left
to stand open, and lose their strength.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until the pota-
toes become worthless.
Nice handled knives are thrown into
hot water.
The flour is sifted in wasteful man
ner, and the bread-pan is left with the
dough sticking to it.
Clothes are left on the line to whip to
pieces in the wind.
Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to
dry and fall apart.
Rags, string and paper are thrown
into the fire.
Pork spoils for want of salt, and beef
because the brine wants scalding.
Bits of meat, vegetables, bread and
cold buildings are thrown away, when
they might be warmed, steamed and
served as good as new.

Playing Jesse james.

The pernicicus effects caused by dime
novel reading and the presentation on
the stage of such blood and thunder
dramas as Buffalo Bill" Jesse
James, the Bandit King" ami so on, are
seen in St. Louis.
In the houses which border on Seventh
street and Clark avenue are numerous
families, which include many children.
A favorite diversion of some of these
youngsters is to study the elaborate
posters and then, in a friendly coal shed,
situated in the back yard at the north
west corner of the thorougnlares named,
to attempt to reproduce the scenes with
living figures. They have succeeded thus
far in Disgusting themselves as Indians
very crude limitations Of Lo, being
mostly red paint and leggings-and
binding their victims to a stake. AS in
real dramatic combinations, so in thi'
infantile aggregation jealousies have
arisen and the other day, the leader being
absent, his most trusted lieutenant, a
lad of about ten years, determined to
give added eclat to his presen alton of
the drama, so he-Herman Booch-
procured the victims and the necessary
accessories, ropes, ETC., and had hang
ing. There was o convenient rafter and
the candidates for the moose were two
children, aged respectively six and three
years, of A. g. Schmidt, butcher. the
other of the trio being Louis French,
about eight years old.
The audience was composed OF juven-
lies of both sexes Of quite tender age.
The candidates for the hanging were
dressed in their ordinary everyday cos
tune, and were as willing to be hanged
as the spectators were proud to see them
thus done. The executioner proceeded
to his work with much of the skill Of
Calcraft, but disdained to use black
cap or to pinion the happy participants
in the mock tragedy. He first adjusted
the moose upon the neck of one of the
older boys, and, with the kind assistance
of volunteers from the audience, strung
him up. Tue boy of the same age was
then lifted parallel with his enthusiastic
partner, and the very youngest of the
three was next hoisted by his own rope
to a level with his rapidly becoming dis
colored comrades. The three were thus
suspended, and the spectators We're loud
in their applause The realistic effects
were simply immense. One of the older
boys felt the pleasure too extensively
and began to scream. AS luck, or fate,
would have it, Schmidt, the father of the
two young play actors, was near and
heaid the shrek. He rushed rapidly to
the coal shed, saw the three hangees,
cut them down and banished the audi
ence and the other children from the
nejghborhood.
1t is secretly, by the management of
the Coalshed Grand Comique, an
nounced that in few days the great
realistic scene of the Ford boys assinat-
ing J. James will be represented.-IS st.

Bill NJ Fare.

For the benefit Of those who are liable
to laugh and grow fat" We will give the
bill of fare of Mr.. Joseph Har-ass who
was troubled with superhuous burden
of flesh and very sensibly dieted to OBJ
tain relief.
Breakfast-Vegetables, brown bread
(toasted), water with lemon juice, and
occasionally oatmeal.
Dinner-Vegetables brown bread,
water, and plain pudding.
Supper - Brown bread (toasted)
stewed fruit and water.
No tea, coffee, cocoa, milk, except
skinned, and only trihe of butter.
Result:-Weight at beginning of treat
ment, 300; present weight $50.
All the distressing features have been
relieved, and the patient is so well he
can carry on his business. His physical
and mental strength have greatly in
creased. Mr.. Harrass says he has suf
fered no serious discomfort from his
diet, except when away from home, and
he feels as if he had learned an i'm por
tant lesson as to how to reduce his
cospulence which has been such q
source of discomfort-and once more
enjoy life.

MOdjeska's Joke.

A good story is told of Modieska by an
English correspondent of Washington
paper. 1t appears that she was recently
asked in a fashionable London drawing
room to give a recitation i'll her native
tongue. At first she was unwilling 10
comply, declaring that the recitation
could scarcely be interesting, as no one
in the room was supposed to know Pc.
lish. Yielding to the opportunities OF
those around her, she commenced Po-
lish recitation. AS she proceeded her
eyes seemed to fash fire, and her
audience was almost spell-bound by her
impassioned delivery. They could, of
course, only imagine what she was say
ing, but presumed she was uttering the
aspirations of her countrymen for free
dom, and denouncing the oppressers OF
Poland. When the recitation was fin
ished the most enthusiastic plaudits re-
warded Nine. Modjesta's efforts. 1t
looked rather suspicious, however, to see
her husband and two or three Polish
friends in Ats OF laughter as the compa.
ny made their way out OF the room. 1t
was then explained she had been only re.
citing the ordinal numbers from one to
one hundred.

tied melancholy. His friend, the Rev.
Mr.. Twichell, tried in vain to cheer him
up. 'Perhaps,' suggested Twichell,
your man has really cultivated sense
of humor, SO that you must not judge
by opposites' Mark shook his head and
borrowed volume of Jonathan Ed
wards sermons from his friend's library.
He copied ont q long passage from the
discourse on eternal punishment, and
palmad it off as his own latest effort
For the first time in history, the gloomy
periods provoked peals of laughter.
Jacob held his sides and shook all over.
Then he suddenly stopped, his counter
ance became blank, turned pale, and he
ihcontlnently fled. He had seen murder
il his masters eye.
"rhat," said the Hartford man, in
conclusion, sis why Mark Twain does
not write. He hung his reputation as
humorist upon his barometer, and his
barometer no longer works.
