Repairing q BrsksuNeedie.

There lived not very many years ago q
short distance from tho town Of Beaver q
man of extraordinary meanness. One day
as he was starting out for Beaver 70 do his
weekly shopping-for even he had to buy
something for the support of his family-his
wife came out and asked him to buy her q
darning needle
"What,s the matter with the one bought
you last winterf
"The eyes broken out," she replied
Bring the needle here, said he; I'm not
going to allow any such extravaganca. I'll
have the needle mended-"
The woman was wise In her generation,
and made no protest She brought out the
broken needle.
and stopped first Of all at the blacksmith
shop. He took out the needle and handed it
to the blacksmith 81 want that mended,"

The blacksmith knew his customer, and
keeping his face perfectly straight, said that
the eye should be made whole In an hours
tima The farmer rode away, and the black
smith walked across the street and bought
new needle for cent or two
When the farmer called again the black
smith gave him the new needle. The farmer
looked at the smooth, polished surface of the
steel and remarked that it was a good job,
"How much will 1t beF said be-
"Ten cents" said the blacksmith, and the
farmer as he paid it remarked that he knew
that the needle could be mended, but his
wife would have gone to the expense of buy

The Capriotes Of Today.

The inhabitants Of Crapi retain many Of
the peculiarities Of their Greek ancestors, Is
well as much of their beauty. The women
are celebrated for their clear cut features,
healthy olive complexions. their dark, laugh
ing eyes, and their fine straight forms, which
the carrying of burdens on the head tends to
increase. Most of the men are away from the
island nearly the whole OF the year, at sea,
either coral fishing or employed in the coast
ing trade, and for this reason almost all labor
is done by women. The Capriote Of today is
Us avaricious as bis celebrated ancestor of the
Grecian isles. and in making a bargain with
him it is necessary to stipulate everything
beforehand; even then he will find some ex-
cuse to increase the sum agreed upon when
the time for payment comes.
Quite a number Of Englishmen Of good
families, among them a noblemen, have mar
ried Capri girls, owing, no doubt, to their
beauty and winning smiles, and have settled
down to ''dolce-far- nienten existence on this
little island In the tideless summer sea 1t is
pleasant to see the strong, healthy looking,
handsome girls toiling up the rocky paths,
with burdens on their heads, but laughing and
chatting with infectious vivacity, and cast
ing bewitching glance at the tourist, who
has come from crowded cities where civili-
cation makes its iron rule felt and cramps or
develops our faculties and sensations as it
chooses. We cannot help feeling that, after
all, we, who are born to . highly civilized
life, have not all the good things in this
world, as We look back on the struggle for
gain or honor among the educated, whose
taces are marked with the lines of care and
thought. and compare the picture of selfish
life in the modern gain getting countries with
the happy ''sans souci" existence Of all those
who have eaten the lotus and dwell on this
.bright gem Of the sea-"-Boston Journal

Reading While in Red.

As to reading while lying down in bed
or on lounge. can see no objection to it
so far as the eyes are concerned. provided
the book is held in such position that
the eyes do not have to be rolled down too
far. Unless the head is raised very high
by pillows. however, it will be found very
fatiguing to hold the book high enough.
not to mention the danger of falling
asleep and of upsetting the lamp or candle
and thus setting the bed on fire Many
persons permanently weaken their eyes
by reading to pass away the tedious hours
during recovery from severe illness. The
muscles of the eyes partake of the general
weakness and are easily overtaxed. Per-
sons in this condition may be read to, but
should svoid the active use of their own
eyes.-Professor David Webster, NJ. ID.

backer with a full beard Any one 60
quainted with Gen. Weaver would have had
difficulty In recognizing the pictura 1t Is q
long time since Gen Weaver wore whiskers;

newspaper made a mistake iu illustrating the
article Of today with a picture of ten years
ago This mistake not infrequently occurs
There are many western papers which still
insist upon representing Senator Reagan, Of
Texna with full growth OF whiskers,
whereas that ioquacious statesman shaves
his face perfectly clean every morning, and
has done so for many years
Representative Rogers, Of Arkansas, Is
another sufferer at the hands of the modern
newspaper illustrator Mr. Rogers takes q
great deal Of pride in a luxurious growth of
hair which adorns his upper lip. but the av-
erage artist Of the daily press usually insists
upon spelling the effect Of Mr. Rogers mus
tache by adorning his chin with q huge i'm
perial, which makes his face about as long as
the old moral law. These little artistic slips
are due to the fact that the photographers

In addressing the members of the Grand
Army, in the Metropolitan opera house,
New York, on Memorial Day, Mr.. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew said:
The Grand Army of the Republic has no
sympathy whatever with what is known as
waving the bloody shirt. If by that term
you mean sectional passion on one side and
vindictiveness on the other, we have no use
for it. But If by disseminating its use, you
mean to say that you waive what the civil
war was fought for, and precisely what it
accomplished, then let us nail the bloody
shirt to the mast and keep our colors flying
This utterance was greeted with tremen-
dous and long continued applause. After
stating that the result of the civil war was
the triumph of nationality after almost q
century OF struggle, Mr.. Depew added
these emphatic and unmistakable declara-
tiops:
The fight settled one thing, that no
earthly power, no combination of men or
devils, can dissolve the union of the states.
The only thing in possible peril is the
ballot. Shall the minority have confidence
that the verdict of the majority is really the
verdict of the majority? The answer to
the question lies not with the national leg
islsture, but with 1.-The states and public
opinion. Public sentiment is stronger than
the verbiage of the law. The voter should
be so protected that no candidate should
have campaign expenses, but the state
should pay all. There should be no intim-
idation nor bribery, but the state should
lead the voter to the ballot by letting him
90 there himself.

Dishe. a. London Dinners.

Owing to the facilities for transport the
fashion that prevails at large dinners of
giving game, fruit. etc., coming from far
countries is less difficult than it might at
first appear. and you now meet with many
curious dishes that hitherto the untrav-
eled have only read or heard Of At q
grand dinner it is not extraordinary now
TO have offered to you bears ham from
Russia, sterlets from the Volga or haunch
of reindeer from Lapland Among the
fruits, the cokis from Japan are the best.
This fruit is yellow, resembling in form
and color a mandarin orange; the inside
is eaten with spoon. like an ice. But all
these dishes from afar are overrated and
cost more than they are really worth. and
your true gourmets prefer the produce of
France, where the poultry, game and
fruit can be had fresh and not spoiled by
a long journey and being packed in Ice
