Mark TWain's WoOing.

Mark Twain, if he is in the mood,
will tell the story of his own courtship
in a manner worthy of the greatest of
living humorists. When he first met
the lady who afterwards became his
wife he was not so distinguished as
now; his origin was humble, and for
some years of his life he had been a
pilot on the Mississippi River. The
future Mrs. Clemens was a woman of
position and fortune her father was n
Judge, and doubtless expected family -
and social Importance in his sOn-in-law.
Clemens, however, became interested in
his daughter, and after a while pro-
posed, but was rejected.
"Well," he said TO the lady, "I
didn't much believe you'd have me, but
1 thought I'd try"
After while he "tried again, with
the same result, and then remarked,
with his celebrated drawl, 81 think a
great deal more of you than if you'd
said Yes, but it's hard to bear" A
third time he met with better fortune,
and then came to the most difficult part
of his task-to address the old gentle
man.

millionaire, "have you seen anything
going on between Miss Lizzie and me p"
What? what?" exclaimed the Judge,
rather sharply, apparently not under
standing the situation, yet doubtless
getting glimpse of it from the inquiry.
Have you seen anything going on
between Miss Lizzie and me Z"
"No, no, indeed " replied the mag
nate sternly. "No, sir, have not"
"Well look sharp and you will, 1"

luminary for his daughters hand

TONSORIAL LORE.
Origin ofthe Striped Pole-Why You
Part Your Hair on the Left.

There are two queries touching the
bnrber's art aroused in intellects OF even
the commonest perceptiveness by no
tice of his shop and traffic which the
barber himself cannot answer. Yet he
is not an unobserving fellow on the av-
erage, and generally is well informed,
as his entertaining volubility indicates.
These queries themselves deal not in
naturally abstruse matters, but seem, on
the surface, the easiest tests OF knOwl-
edge. But put them, hirsute readers,
to your barber at your next strOp-and
lather interview with him, and behold
his chagrin.
What is the history and Significance
of the striped pole which universally
stands for barber's sign!
Why is it the common masculine pTac-
tice to part the hair on the left side :?
Your barber will in 999 cases out of 900
fail of satisfactory reply.
The barber, in the middle ages, pur-
sued his trade in conjunction with the
practice of surgery, and, as in those
days ''bleeding" was esteemed the pam
acea for all ills, the barber "bled'' pro
fusely, This being his chief pursuit. to
which shaving and hair-cutting We're
secondary, he hung from his door n
bloody arm wrapped in white bandages,
or, what answered the purpose as well,
q wood and paint ef1igy of the same. As
words in their evolution become corrupt
ed, SO the bloody, bandaged arm has
gradually lapsed into the tapering,
striped pole, with both significance and
history forgotten,

The mother, who fOndly and lovingly
bears the blame for the most of all we
are and have upon the earth is directly
responsible for the fact that the major
ity OF men part their hair on the LETT
side. Long before he betook him with
his beard-grown face to the barber
many years before that first proud day
there was an era in each mans life
when, in his experience, other hands
had to perform the duties of his toilet.
In far the greater number of cases it
was upon the mother that the vicarious
office fell. She combed your hair. Re
member her positiOn-stOoping holding
the restless chin with her soft left hand,
and welding the narrowing comb with
her gentle right You faced her, and
thus the left side of your head came
nearest to her working hand as she
traced that precise path athwart your
scalp from crown to brow. She accustom-
ed you to this state of ordered hair, and
later when your hand gained strength,
you preserved her method It became
II part of your way OF life, and in time
your barber was taught to respect it. So,
many an unworthy fellow, who has long
since ceased to hold a mothers precepts
and even lost to mind the fact that once
she lived, preserves in his unconscious
habits this one small trace of her training.
To those unfortunates whom fate as
signed to a motherless boyhood, or those
who were born with deplorable "cow-
lick, this scientific exposition will not
apply. Chicago Ne10S.

ANTIQUITY OF BAKING.
Bread-Making Prehistoric Art
Egyptians as Bakers.

The origin of baking precedes the per-
iod of history and is involved in the OBJ
scurity of the early ages of the human
race. Excavations made in Switzerland
gave evidence that the art of making
bread was prac5ic4d by our prehistoric
ancestors, as earl y as the stone period.
From the shape OF loaves it is thought
that no ovens were used ut that time,
but the dough was rollel into small
round cakes and laid on hot stones, be-
ing covered with glowing ashes. Bread
is mentioned in the book of Genesis,
where Abraham, wishing to entertain
three angels, offered to ''fetch mOrsel
of bread" Baking it again referred to
where Sarah has instructions to ''make
ready quickly three measures of fine
meal, knead it, and make cakes upon
the hearth" Lot entertained two an
gels by giving them unleavened bread.
The mere mention of unleavened bread
shows that there were two kinds of bread
made even at that time.
The art of baking was carried to
high perfection among the Egyptians,
who are said to have baked cakes in
many fantastic shapes, using several
kinds of flour. The Romans took up
the art of baking aud public bakeries
were numerous on the streets of Rome.
In England the business of the baker
was considered to be one so closely Of
fecting the interests of the public that
i'll 1866 an act of parliament was passed
regulating the price to be charged for
bread. This regulation continued in
operation until 1922 in London, and un-
til 1886 in the rest of the country. The
art of making bread has not yet reached
some countries i'll Europe and Asia In
the rural parts of Sweden no bread is
made, but rye cakes that are baked twice
year and are as hard as flint. 1t is less
than o century ago that bread was used
in Scotland, the Scotch people of every
class living on barley bannocks and
oaten cakes. Owing to the fact that
bread is sold very cheaply in Great Bri-
tain, the bakers of that country are o
poorly paid class of laborers. For years
the employers made use of child labor
to such on extent that parliament in 1868
passed law making it q criminal offense
to employ young person under the age
of 18 years to work in bakehouse be-
tween the hours of 8 o'clock p. m, and
5 o'clock n. m. As most of the work
done by bakers is in tho night this sta
tutory law in Great Britain virtually
prohibits child labor in bakehouses. In
all countries of the world wheat flour is
the principal material for making bread,
although rye is used largely among the
peasantry in some parts of Europe. The
price of bread has always followed the
market price of wheat very closely, and
a recent rise in wheat advanced the price

FOR COLD WEATHER.
A Few Health Preserving Hints That
Are SeasonabIe,

The little things we shall now speak
of are appropriate, as the cold weather is
about to begin.
! l. See to it that the children thorough
ly warm their feet before going to school,
and on returning home. They are sell
dom disposed to do it of themselye s.
Many serious cold, or other infamma-
tory attack, might be prevented by at
tention to this precaution.
2. Teach the children, when out of
doors, to keep their mouths closed, and
breathe through their nostrils. This
prevents the air-the temperature of
which may be zero-from striking direct
ly on the tonsils and the larynx. AS the
nasal passages are kept constantly warm
ed by the breath from the heated lungs,
the inbreathed air is warmed as it passes
circuitously through them
B. Children who are liable to infam-
nation and swelling of the tonsils, or to
troubles of the ear, should wear hoods
that come well over on the forehead and
well down on the neck. Hats are dan
gerous for such children, and 50 are
bonnets, unless care is taken to bring
them down over the sides of the head.
4. lu our cities and large towns es-
pecially, children are inclined to sit to-
gether on the stone door steps, which
are often ice-cold. This practice needs
10 be guarded against. Every thought
full mother will readily see how danger
GUS it is for her girls.
5. On returning from cold walk or
ride, throw off all but the home cloth
ing at once. The outer clothing is near
ly at the temperature of the outside at
mosphere, and, if kept on, must absorb
much heat, which might otherwise have
come to the wearer Immediately.
6. In dressing and undressing in a
cold room, move about as little as possi-
pet just under tho feet is warmed by alb
stracting heat from the feet, and the per-
son has the advantage of it while every
change takes additional heat to warm q
new place. In undressing keep the
slippers on rs long as convenient in
dressing put them on as soon as possi-
be.
7. If q chamber is without woolen
rug or bit of carpeting near the bed on
which 10 stand.
s. All slippers for use in cold wealth
should have extra inner soles, to lift the
feet from the cold floor and to retain the
natural heat. Where nothing else can
be had, such soles can be cut from card
board q thickness of woolen cloth
should be stitched on each side.
8. For women III the kitchen slip
pers made of woolen uppers and thick
felt soles are desirable. Slippers are
preferable for home use to buttoned
boots, as they facilitate the warming of
the feet, which is otherwise apt to be
unduly neglected. Y0ut1'S CompaniOn.

ger bought it of the SeppIes for a sum
which handsomely cleared off their
debts and left surplus to begin the
world with anew.
On Thanksgiving Day they sat down
to dinner as nearly as possible like
that which Kitty's mother had been
wont to prepare in the old farmhouse
by the sea.
There was a genuine turkey, with
chicken-pie and cranberry -tarts; there
were red apples and lgold-edged pump
kin-pies, and flaming autumn leaves to
deck the board; and there was pitcher
of country cider and plenty of hickory
nuts atterward.

Blight, with beaming face.
But before the moon rose he crossed
deeper, darker sea. They found him
sitting placidly before the fire, with
eyes closed as if i'll sleep. And as Simon
Sepple drew his wife reverently away,
he said:
Heaven bless his silver hairs, Kitty,
for he has brought us q blessing. -

Peculiar Dutch Gu toms.

Many peculiar customs still prevail in
Holland which amuse the tourist, but
which are quite sensible after all. In
many Dutch towns bulletins are affixed
to the doors of houses in which persons
are sick, in order that their friends may
be apprised of the state of their health
without knocking or ringing and in Haar-
lem the birth of a child is announced by
means of small placard adorned with
red silk aud lace. SO the traveller, on
the lookout for the peculiar, may soc
notice on the door that "Mr. Van Die.
penbeck is better to-day; pulse, 95; tenn
perature, normal" or, "AIrs. Van Well
built was delivered Of son this morn
ing; weight, ten and one-half pounds;
notice OF christening hereafter" A
painted Turk head IS the customary
sign of druggists shops, while large
crown, decorated with gliding, suspend
ed beneath the Dutch flag, indicates
that fresh herrings have arrived in the
shops thus adorned. Foot-warmers are
universally employed by the female
members of the community, and are seen
in great numbers in the churches, re-
calling the "scaldinos, with which the

Rescued From a Savage Elephant.

At Cynthiana, Ky, as Mr.. Strohn, n
well-known merchant of that place, was
passing through n covered bridge, he
encountered the elephant Chief, belong
ing to Robinson's circus, and stepped to
the side of the bridge to get out of the
elephants way. This seemed to enrage
the elephant, and with n stroke of its
trunk it knocked Mr.. Strohn between
the inner and outer walls of the bridge.
Chief then endeavored to butt in the
walls of the structure, and in all proba-
bility would have killed Mr.. Strohn had
not the elephant Mary been rushed to
the scene. She beat Chief with her
trunk until he ran out of the bridge.
Strohn was then taken out in an uncon-
scious condition and carried to his home.
He was severely injured about the head,
and for awhile it was believed he would
die. Since then, however, he has i'm
proved.

A GERMAN SOLDIERS OUTFIT.
What it Contains, How it is Carried
and What is Thought of it.

A new outfit is being rapidly intro.
duced throughout the whole German
Army. One, indeed, of the alterations,
as it does not involve any new equip
ment, has been already taken up by all
the regiments-that is, the strapping of
the overcoat round the knapsa k instead
of over the shoulders and across the
body. This has the great advantage Of
allowing the men to breathe more freely
and to open his coat if he wishes. The
knapsack itself has been changed and is
Of a longer shape than before. 1t con-
sists of two parts, the knapsack proper
and the pocket, the former containing
the soldiers linen, the latter the famous
"pease sausage" and bacon.
The belt is, in the new outfit, all i'm
portant, and serves to make the whole
equipment fast From it, on the left,
hangs the bayonet, which has been So

two pouches are attached, each contain

stoned officers have smaller pouches,

These are q reserve and were formerly
kept in the knapsack. BY this change
the soldier carries twenty cartridges
more than formerly. On the right hangs
the bread wallet, which is larger than
the old pattern. 1t has no longer a belt
OF its own, but hangs directly from the
sword belt, thus relieving the chest. The
water flask is hooked on the bread wallet.
The pannikin used to be fastened in the
middle of the knapsack, but is now laid
Hat on the top with the forage cap,
which was formerly under tho flap of the

sult is that the soldiers chest is almost

Heal all corruption, mend its flaws
Help its servants, in pure Judgment,
Base its law on the Law of Lawsl

Unite the severed in bonds oflove,
And sweep for time all strife away.
