He Didn't Advertise.

A nervous looking man went into
store the other day and sat down
for half an hour or 50, when clerk
asked him if she could do anything
for him. He said no, he didn't want
anything. She went away and he
sat there for half an hour longer,
when the proprietor went to him
and asked him if he wanted to be
shown anything. ''No," said the
nervous man, II just want to sit
around. My physician has recon-
mended perfect quiet for me, and
says above all things should avoid
being in crowds. Noticing that you
did not advertise in the newspapers
l thought that this would be as
quiet place as | could find, SO I
just dropped in for few hours
isolation" The merchant picked
up bolt of paper cambria to brain
him, butthe man went out. de said
all he wanted was q quiet life.

A TRUANT PRINCE.

The eldest grandson of the Re-
gent Of Bavaria is a very promising
youth. A short time ago consider
able CONSERVATION was caused by
his sudden disappearance from the
court, and search was Instituted,
but to no effect-Prince Rupert had
vanished. The telegraph was put
into operation, the police all over
Europe communicated with, and
the sole result was the arrest, in
different cities, Of several unfortu-
nate German youths who bore a
real or supposed resemblance to
the missing scion of royalty. Re-
Gently the attention of the Partisan
police was drawn to a young man
of aristocratic appearance who was
trying to sell two valuable diamond
rings, of the possession of which
he gave confused and contradic-
tory account. This was the truant,
and the details of the trip are anus
ing enough. He had, it seems. de-
termined to enjoy a month in Paris,
but his funds were played out" !"
and he was, when discovered, occu-
plying small apartment in a very
third-rate hotel in the Quarter La
tin. Although only nineteen, he
had established amicabIe relations
with the widow of a grocer of Mu
Mich, and is said to have promised
her marriage, and it is the detail of
his escapade which has ruptured
the negotiations which were pend
ing for an engagement between the
errant Prince, who if he lives will
some day be King of Bavaria, and
the Archduchess Marie Valerie, the
younger daughter of the Emperor
of Austria.-London Truth.

The Original Mary's Lamb.

Mrs. Mary E. Tyler, the original
Mary whose little .amb followed her
to school one day, is still living at
Somerville, Mass, a vigorous old
lady of eighty-two years. She re-
Gently related the true version of
the world-famous verses. The lamb
was raised by her from the day of
its birth, it's mother having deserted
it. 1t followed Mary everywhere
she went and died in her arms, hav-
ing been gored by cow while fol-
lowing Mary about the barn.
The three original verses were
written by one John Roulston,
young man of the neighborhood,
then fitting for college, but two
more verses were added afterward
by a Mrs. Townsend. From the
fleece of her lamb Mary knit two
pairs of stockings. These were
raveled out and sold in small bits
tied to card with Mary's auto
graph written on it and sold for the
fund collected to save the Old South
Church, Boston. Two hundred dol
lars were raised in this way.-Bos-
ton Globe,

"For Veal or for Woe"

A curious old marriage custom,
which is still widely prevalent in
Brittany, was recently interpreted
in a novel and amusing manner.
According to this custom the bride
groom, immedialy after the priest
has welded the couple, strikes his
wife in the face, saying: "This is
how you will fare if YOU make me
angrp," and then, kissing her, he
says: "And this is how you will
fare if you treat me WELL" A short
time ago young Brenton married
a German girl, and after the cere-
mony was over, began at once to
practice first part of the time-hon-
ored custom. The bride, who was
ignorant of the sinner meaning" OF
what she considered an insult,
turned round on her lord and mas,
ter and returned the stroke, saying
in broad Suabian dialect, "Look
here, l do not approve of such be.
havior," after which the husband
is said to have performed the second
part of the ceremony with more
than usual affection.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

A Wonderful Find.

The great work of excavating the
Mohawk Canal is being pushed as
rapidly as men and money can pos
sibly do it. In one of the cuts,
which runs down twenty feet, a
small ola was found about six
weeks ago, and nothing thought OF
it until George Norton one day
picked it up and noticed its pecu-
liar appearance. The OLA resem-
bled an earthen bottle, and it's mar
row neck was sealed up with a thick
coating of mesquite gum, while the
outside of the vessel was painted
with very remarkable and fantas-
tically designed drawings. Upon
breaking the sealed top it was found
to be filed with corn, weighing
about thirty pounds. The corn
was snow white, and the kernels
large, yet extremely tender. The
corn was planted in tract OF near
ly ten acres, and just thirty five days
from the date Of plaating roasting
ears were taken ffena the field. The
corn il very sweet and pt lncsd Al

VERY Valuable Salt.

A good story was recently told OF
an analytical chemist here whose
name is authority when attached
to certificate of purity, writes a
Boston correspondent of the Provi-
dence Journal. The story is to the
effect that a manufacturer of some
patent compound or other came
into his laboratory one day with a
bottle containing an unwholesome
looking mixture.
Il would give $780," he said, "to
know what would make the water
and oil in this emulsion separate" !"
The chemist looked at it. Very
well," he said, "write your check. !"
"Check?" the other echoed.
"Yes, your check for 500. You
say you are willing to give that, and
for that price l am willing to tell
you what will make the water and
oil separate"
The visitor hesitated a moment
and then wrote his check for the
amount named. The chemist care
fully deposited it in his pocket
book and then quietly dropped
into the liquid a pinch of common
salt. Instantly the water and oil
separated, and whether the client
was satisfied or not he got what he
wanted and had paid his own price

Wealth and Work.

Waldorf Astor has his hands full
in managing his fathers estate,
which has been put into his hands
by full power of attorney. The
property is so favorably situated
that it is rapidly increasing in value,
and it pays to pull down and re-
build. A large force is thus en-
ployed all the time, and this re-
quires on the part OF the landlord a
constant examination of architects
plans and their accompanying spec
ifcations. In fact, Waldorf Astor
is placed in the condition of a mere
house agent on grand scale, and
it also recalls old John Jacobs ut
terances on the same subject. A
friend was once saying to the old
capitalist:
"Mr. Astor, what a splendid es-
tate you have. and if l had it how
happy l would be p
"Would you, indeed?" replied
the old man. will you take it on
the same terms that | have?"
"Of course l WILL" said the man.
"Well, then, 60 to work and you
shall have board and clothes"
'Is that all?" was the exclama-
ton.
''It's all I get" said Mr.. Astor,
and the friend at once saw the point.

Patti and the Burglar.

It is said that shortly before
Nine. Patti left Wales for her South
American tour, she had a thrilling
experience with a burglar. The
songstress was alone in her cham
Der preparing to retire for the night
when she heard sound in an ad-
joining room, as if some one were
moving about. Patti hastily don
ned a wrapper and walked boldly
into the room from which the sound
came, and stood face to face with a
gigantic burglar. He wore a mask
to conceal his features, and in his
hand he carried a heavy club. The
plucky woman asked him what he
was doing there.
Don't you see," he replied in a
broad Welsh dialect, 81 am stealing
your diamonds !"
And he held up to her astonished
eyes the most beautiful bracelet
which she possessed. Patti did not
scream. She simply walked across
the room, pressed an electric but
ton to summon the servant. In
stead of the servant, however, Sig
nor Nicolini appeared on the scene.
The burglar attempted to strike
him with his club, but his game was
frustrated by Patti. She grasped
the club as it was raised in the air.
Nicolini and the burglar then
clinched, and in the struggle that
ensued the enterprising but alto
gether too candid thief was pitched
out of second story window. He
descended gracefully and broke a
leg. He was found to be peasant
whom Patti had frequently be-
friended.-London Cor. n. Y. Press.

An Elaborate Scarecr0W.

Numerous contrivances have been
devised by farmers in this section
to scare away birds from their or
chards but have invariably proved
of little use, and large quantities OF
fruit are annually destroyed by
these pests. A shotgunin the hands
of an expert is about the only thing

doubtless be interesting to our or

cheaply, may sclve the problem,
and eventually come into general
use. This new invention represents

Little Romances.

A Scotch beadle took his sweet
heart to a graveyard and, showing
her a dark corner, said: Mary,
nv folks lie there. Would you
tike to lie there?" 1t was a grim
way of proposing, but Mary was a
sensible Scotch lassie and she ac-
cepted him.
Dr. johnson convinced his sweet
heart of his appreciation of her by
taking her finger to poke the tobacco
into the bowl Of his pipe. Daniel
Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher
while aiding her to unravel skein
Of thread. Grace" said he, I'VE
have been untying knots; let US
see if we can not tie one which will
not unite in lifetime" !"
The brothers Jacob and William
Grimm, authors of the wonderful
fairy stories. concluded that one or
the other should marry. Officious
friends found Il suitable lady for
Jacob, but he declined to do the
courting, so William acted as proxy.
In doing so he fell in love with the
lady himself, which troubled him
greatly, as he did not want to be-
tray Jacob. The latter solved the
dilemma by telling William that he
could have her.

CHEESE FOR RED NOSES.

Il will give $500 to any man who
will restore my nose to it's natural
color" said well-dressed man in
down town saloon on Saturday.
Then, as TO give zest to his remark,
he gulped down a big drink of whis-
KY, and, putting the glass down on
the bar, he took a long and whist
full look into the dim prospective
of his life when his nasal organ
was of the tinge it should be now.
II don't know how it ever got so
read" he continued, after ordering
"a little of the same" At this re-
mark the bartender winked at the
mans companion and gave a sig
nihcant glance at the empty glass
on the bar.
A physician, who makes his head
quarters in Chestnut street drug
store, was asked if there was any
way in which man could be cured
of a red nose, and his answer was
an emphutic "no."
1t Is bad thing to have red
nose," he said, because most peo-
pie think that it was brought about
by whisky drinking; and while this
belief is justified in a majority of
instances, it is not always the case,
One of Philadelphia's most promi-
nent men has nose as red as
ROSTERS comb, and l know that he
never drank drop of liquor in his
life. He will carry it with him to
his grave. Cheese, if eaten fre-
quently and in large quantities, will
delay reddening Of the nose, but if
a man is a confirmed topper the
whisky and the cheese will have
tussle, and the whisky will ulti-
mately get there and fresco the
nose for him in the most approved
style. ."-Philadelphia News.

An Iceland Winter.

Although the climate of South
Iceland is cold, the winter is scarce
ly what one would be led to expect
from the northern situation. There
is not much snow. A few inches
usually lay upn the ground, crisp
and hard, but not the piled-up drifts
of a New England winter. Accord
ingly, it was possible to make horse
back excursions to the farms round
about, and to see the winter life of
the people in the country. This
season for the Icelander is a time
of comparative rest. AS nothing
can be done abroad he stays of ne
cessity at home, but his life is no
mere Information. He sleeps great
deal, for his house is insufficiently
lighted and the nights are long, but
by daylight he has occupations
enough. He has boats TO build and
ores to shape; saddles and harness
to make and to mend or he sorts
the wool which the women spin
into yarn and then knit into stock
.ngs or weave into coarse home
spun or flannel, like wadmal. A
busy sound of whirring wheels often
greet the ear when you enter the
farmhouse, and you find the women
all at work at one end of the long
room. Another duty devolves on the
heads of the household at isolated
farms. There are good elementary
schools in many places through
out the island, but in remote dis
tricts the children must be taught
at home. In summer the time is
occupied with out-of-door work, but
in the comparatively idle days OF
winter the father, or not infrequent-
ly the mother, teaches the children
of either sex the common branches.
Iceland is perhaps the best-educated
community on the face of the earth
Throughout the length and breadth
of the land there is nobody who
cannot read and write, and the gen.
eral knowledge of some of these
obscure fsherman-farmers is some.

WHY THE TRAIN RAN SLOW.

A man was one day making trip
on mixed train on Dakota line
Passage on these trains is never
taken except for journeys of con-
siderable length; walking is as easy
and much faster for short distances.
On this occasion the movement was
even more deliberate than usual
and the passenger called the con-
ductor to his seat and said
"Isn't this motion pretty slow?'
swell, we amt flying, I'll admit. "
"Sure everything is all rightY'
II think So"
"Wheels all greased?"
Eyes, l creased them myself"
"Tires all on?'
"Yes. We run through the creek
back here and soaked up the wheels
so that they would stay"
ANY spokes loose?'

You are certain the wheels are
all on the rails?'
"They was when I come in"
Couldn't be possible that any of
them are off and the axle dragging,
could it?"
II guess not"
care we going up hill7"
"Nothis is pretty middlin' level y
do you always run at this gait?'
mo, we generally hump along
little faster'n this"
MAY l ask what is the trouble
then?"
"Certainly. We found two-year-
old steer stuck in trestle back
here, before you got on, and stopped
and helped it out. You know the
rules of the road are that in such
cases the animal belongs to the
company"
"But | don't see why that makes
you run SO laundering SLOW"
why, you blame fool, we're tax
in that steer along to headquarters !;
got it tied on behind, and it amt
used to leadin' ard don't walk up
very we'll. I'm doing all | can; got
the brakeman prodding it up with
an umbrella, and an ear OF corn
tied to the bell rope. If you think
Pm goin' to start up an go howlin'
along and yank the horn off as good
a steer as there is in the Territory,
why, you're mistaken, that's all.
