A very substantial area of manifold pretty
curves were almost wholly exposed to the
sunshine, and at the other end of the at
tractive costume were two stalwart red
stockings such as would have made the
marbly Venus in the Corcoran gallery at
Washington look very scrawny and shad-
Owy in if Mr.. ComstOck had ever happened
to see it and had ordered that size of hosiery
put on it. Another stylish suit that was
flung by its owner into the surf and then
gracefully down upon the sand with herself
in it, was sailor rig of pure white with a
blue collar, blue cuffs, and blue border to
the skirt and legs, and with big blue knot
of ribbon at about the second button below
the chin, down to which button the front
of the dress was turned back and left open.
The white hosiery that went with this suit
had black feet. SO that the beautiful bather
appeared to have shoes On.

Changed His Mind.

One of the "boys" now hanging out
in Detroit was nabbed in Pennsylvania
few months ago for some swindling
game, and was locked up in county
jail pending examination. He was the
only prisoner in the building, and he
hadn't been in there fifteen minutes be-
fore he felt that an hours work would
let him out. 1t was tumble-down af-
fair, built half a century ago. and the
turnkey was a young Quaker. AS he
received his prisoner, he said
i think l shall place thee on thy
honor not to escape"
An right" replied the prisoner, 81

He had the run of the corridor and an
open cell, and about two hours after
supper he had no trouble wrenching q
couple of bars off the corridor window.
Waiting for the jail to get quiet he lift
ed the sash and climbed out On the sill
for drop to the ground, but at that
instant he heard a voice from beneath
him, saying:
"On second thought | concluded that
thy honor might not be as safe as my

The prisoner not only 'got thee" but

Tie Saw the Card.

A United States Senator, who, years
ago, used to Iiirt with chance, but who
has since become a staid and conserva-
tive citizen, said to a Washington Critic
reporter one day last week:
Here is a card story that you won't
believe, but it happened just the same.
just after the war | was in Washington
on visit, and one night went around
to a gambling house with several ac-
quaintances. l happened to know the
man who ran the place, and stopped in
the ante-room for a few minutes to talk
to him while the rest of the party passed
into the card-room. In a short time |
followed. There was q faro layout there
and crowd gathered about it, and as
! came up the cards had just been put
in the box for fresh deal The instant
looked at the box | saw under the
first card, which you know does not
count, the jack of clubs 1t was as plain
to my eyes as though the top card were
made of glass. Before the dealer began
l asked him wha. odds he would give
me if | called the second card. He look
ed up little queerly, and the people
about the table laughed derisively.
That is curious way of betting he
said, but I'll lay you ten to one that you
can't put down SO and called the
jack, and when he removed the top
caro- the jack of clubs was there sure
enough Just as had seen it. would

and the only one visible was the tor

Nevertheless, this is absolutely fact.

A correspondent in Montana, telling
of the fortuitous discovery of silver
mines, relates this incident: A pros
pector in New Mexico with the honored
name of John Quincy Adams, found his
haversack on fire, his prospector's glass
having focused the suns rays upon it.
As the haversack contained about a
dozen pounds of powder he dropped it
and got out of the way in hurry. It
fell into crevice, and large mass of
rock was thrown up. Adams returned
mournfully TO gather up what might be
lett of his effects. and found an exceed
ingly rich vein of ore which the explo-
sion had exposed to view. He sold a
third interest in his find for $4,000. and
very consistently named the mine The
Nick of Time. -

Why the Irish Like Green.

Some old Greek traditions tell how
Kadmus, mighty leader and very
wise man in all tt arts and sciences,
came over from Asia and taught the
Bpotians letters In PhRnician the
word kadmus means the Eastman,
while the word Eur ope, which gradually
was applied to Il vast extent OF land,
continent, at first belonged only to the
land Just across from the island of
Eubea, on the other side of the narrow
strait called Euripus, and means in
Phpnician, the West-land. So when
you read of Kadmus coming to Europe,
it Is the Eastman coming to the West
land. Over and over again - history
we find names, to which all sorts of
fancifuI derivations have been given and
beautiful legends and myths have been
attached, turning out to be the simplest
kind of words. thus, Ireland also means
the Westland, and it comes from the
Celtic word lar and our word land; iGr
meaning the West lar, before being
used to denote the West, meant the
back. and that fact lets us into an i'm
portant secret concerning the religion
of the CeIts who first came over the Irish
sea to the Emerald Island. 1t tells us
that those early men named the points
of the compass according to the other
directions when the observer faced to
ward the East So the East was named
from front, or forward. the West from
back or behind, the North from left
hand, and the South from right hand.
That means that the early Celts wor-
SHIPPED the Dawn and the Sunrise. And
so faithfully have the old traditions re-
manned in mems minds in that big west
ern island of the British Empire that to
this dav, the emblem of the coat of arms
of Ireland is a sunburst, or rising sun.
Another curious thing is that it is
more than probable that the Irish pre-
ference of the color green, for their flag
and their sashes, arose from mistake
among those who had lost thorough
knowledge of the Irish language. The
sun, in Irish, is called by word pro-
bounced like our word green" and il
is likely that the Irish fondness for that
color arose from the words exact like
ness in sound to their word for the sun.
In the same way, when we talk about
greenhouses, we think they ere called so
because the plants are kept green IN
them during winter, Yet it is far more
probable that green" here, is the Irish
word meaning, not the color, but the
sun; because greenhouses are built so
as to catch the suns rays and store them
up while it is hidden by clouds, as hap
pens more than half the time in showery
Ireland. - Henry Ecktord, IN st.
Nicholas.

A Building With a History

Among all the public buildings in
New York city to-day there is not an
other that has SO ancient and eventful
a history as the hall of records, or reg
iSter's office, in the City Hall park
1t was erected about the middle of the
last century, when Broadway was q
country road, when the only theater
stood on the sight of the present
World establishment, when Center
street was a lake, William street a
swamp. Canal street a river, and the
Bowery a lonely lane, running up
through huckleberry bushes.
During the Revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison
for distinguished patriots. Here Capt
Nathan Hale, the intrepid Yankee, was
confined after his capture with plan
OF the British defenses of Long Island in
his shoes, and in the public common adj
joining, exactly where the city hall now
stands, he was hanged as a spy. Here
that tough old rebel, Ethan Allen, of
Iiconderoga fame, was imprisoned after
his capture while trying to take Mon
treal with thirty men; and his treatment
and that of others caused the building
which now stands near the city hall
station of the elevated road, to be re-
garded by the patriots with about the
same adherence as attached to Ander-
sonyille after the late war
When the British evacuated New
York, in November, 1888, the jailer
Cunningham, having won the same in
famous reputation as the confederate
jailor Wirz, was asked by his patriot
prisoners, What is to become of us?''
You can 60 to the devil!' shouted
Cunningham, as he flung the keys into
the middle of the floor and made of.
1t was forty or fifty years after that
before the bastile of the Revolution was
remodeled and the bell transferred to
the bridewell. 1t now rings prisoners
to rations and prayers over on Black
wells island.

Some Points About Feet.

| don't believe it is when a woman
has small foot that she wants to show
it Just a little. am open to serious cor
rection, but there seems TO be quite a
satisfaction 20 a woman in knowing
that she has pretty foot, and woman
has way anyhow of believing every
body knows what she knows, unless it
be secret. Then she never believes
that anybody else knows it even If she's
told il them a dozen times. But when
a woman has small foot and has had
it all her life, and knows it and been
told about il for twenty years. beg
pardon, DO lady is ever over that age,
say ten years-she gets SO accustomed
to it that it ceases to be piece even Of
her vanity. It's the woman with the
long foot and the high instep that wants
to show them. The high instep some
times goes before fall, and that is
why people with high insteps are said
to have plenty of pride. When a wom-
an has succeeded in pinching a big foot
into a very small shoe she does not
propose that all that trouble is to be
gone to and all that agony suffered for
nothing. So she always makes point
of having it displayed somehow. / beg

papers said of Mrs. Langtry, that after

was all very well, but throwing flowers
at her feet was carrying things too far,
and an outrage. Did you ever see
woman try on pair of shoes? You
have! Then you're either married or
engaged in shoe store, | hope.
She had lovely foot and her visitors
were admiring if. They were ladies of

Improbable Customers.

Almost every machine-shop owner
has suffered more or less from the friend
who drops IN to have rivet put in his
knife, the spring of his pistol fixed, or
some other one of the million little odd
tinkering jobs done. OF course, he does
not expect to pay for it, lit is such a
trine, you know" nor does the proprie-
tor like to make a charge, and thereby
lay himself open to being thought
small" When a charge is made, it is
seldom commensurate with the cost of
doing the work, and rarely, if ever, pays
for the annoyance and diversion from
more important work. Such jobs, it is
safe to say, are always distasteful, but
the proprietor does not know exactly
how to refuse to do them. Not only do
they take more time than would be sup
posed, but considerable time is wasted
in getting back to regular work, and
in many cases other employees have to
wait on the one doing the job, machin-
cry is idle, and the minds of the men
have to go back and gather up the
threads of the work in hand. Such Jobs
are an imposition, not intentional per-
haps, because those imposing them are
ignorant OF the annoyance they cause,
but this does not lessen their cost in any
measure. The machinist who does not
want such work should plant himself
squarely against it, and refuse to take
it at all. A few words of explanation
would satisfy any reasonable applicant.

WOAIAN'S TRUE POSITION.

Mrs. Beecher, in her sensible talks
in the Brooklyn Magazine, calls at
tention to the prevalent discomfort OF
women with their home duties. and
assures them that home-making is the
most honorable duty that they can
perform, since the lack of true homes
is the main cause Of the strife and sin
that curse the world. ''Home" she
says, SIS the true kingdom of woman,
where her rights can never be de
throned, that all pure love, all right
thoughts, all religions, all govern
ments, if we would have them live
and flourish, must have their roots be
meath its alter. This conviction
impels me to say to every woman who
has home. Let home stand first
before all other things! No matter
how high your ambition may tran
scend its duties, no matter how far
your talents or your influence may
reach beyond its doors, before every
thing else build up a true home.
Be not its slave; be its minister. Let
it not be enough that it is swept and
granished, that its silver is brilliant,
that its food is delicious, but feed the
love in it, feed the truth in it, feed
thought and aspiration, feed all charity
and gentleness in it. Then from its
walls shall come forth the true wo-
man and the true man, who shall to
gether rule and bless the land.
