AMERICA IN ASIA.

The Impossibilty of Getting Away from the Yankee Joker.
 After long and diligent search in a queer, dark, secondhand booth kept by swarthy Mongol, was rewarded by the discovery of a product of Amer ican genius that partly satisfied my patriotism and served as a tangible proof that New England marks the timo to which all humanity keeps step. It was an old secondhand clock, made in Providence. R. l., the battered and somewhat grimy face of which still Do c in capital letters the characteris- tic American legend, Thirty Hour Joker" Mongolia might know noth- ing of American literature or of Amer ican magazines, but it had made the acquair tance of the American clock; and although this particular piece of mechanism had lost it's hands, its Thirty Hour Joker'' was a sufficiently pointed allusion to the National characteristic to sat- isfy the most ardent patriotism. An American joker does not need hands to point out the merits of his jokes. and this mutilated New En- g.and clock, with its empty key-hole eyes and it's battered but still humor- ous visage, seemed to leer at me out of the darkness of that queer old secondhand shop as if to say: "You may come to Siberia, you may ex- p!ore Mongolia, but you can't get away from the American joker" I was little disappointed not to find in his bazaar some representative mas tcrpiece of American literature, but l was more than satisfied a short time atterward when discovered in still wilder and more remote part of the Trans-Baikal, copy of Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi" and a Russian translation of Bret Harte's "Luck of Roaring Camp.'- George Kennan. in Century.

HIT BY A COINCIDENCE.

A Man with Wooden Leg Meets the
 Head of n Sympathetic Family.
 The owner of a place on Second avenue stood in his barn door on the alley the other day when man with a wooden leg and 8 crutch came along and passed the time O day and finally said:
 "Say, want you to do mo Q favor. want to leave my leg with you for a few minutes"
 "Why?"
 'tI want to go around on Second ave- nue and work house for half dollar in money. I've got pointer that the folks are very sympathetic If I go with one leg I'm sure of it"
 Very well; just leave your leg here and Il take care of it. "
 The wooden substitute was un- strapped and handed over, and the cripple used the crutch to help himself down the alley. Five minutes later he rang the door-bell of 8 house around the avenue, to have it opened by the man he had seen at the barn.
 'W-wha-what!' he gasped in as- tonishment.
 "Very sympathetic family lives here!" quietly replied the other. You seem to have met with a sad loss, and I'm anxious to help you. Here is a wooden leg which may fit you.
 The leg was handed over. the man sat down on the steps and strapped it on, and as he got up and stumped through the gate. he said to himself:
 i've heard of coincidences ever since l was knee-high to hop-toad. but this is the first one that ever hit me with both feet at oncer' r'-Detroit Free Press.

AFTER MANY YEARS.

A Tunnel-Shaped Man Realizes That He
 Is Really Sprung Out of Shape.
 "Can speak with you a minute?'' he asked of one of the officers on duty in the city hall yesterday.
 ''Yes, sir. What is it?''
 Do you observe any thing queer about my legs?"
 "Stand off and let me see! Why, yes, observe"
 "WhatP Don't be backward about telling me-"

 "They are"
 Haven't they been brokenP"
 "No, sir.''
 "Nor twisted wrong-side top'
 "No. sir
 Well, you are the. bow-leggedest chap I ever saw. You couldn't look worse if you were trying to walk on each side of barrel"
 That's honest, is it?''
 cit is.''
 Then it's all right and l am much obliged. The boys were hollering at me all the way up from the depot, and 1 wanted to see if what they said was true"
 Didn't any of your friends tell you that you were badly sprung out of shape?"
 "Yes, a dozen of them, and I turned to and licked every mothers son for a liar. I am now going to head for home and tender each one an apology. Truth has been a long time coming, but she's here at last. am tunnel-shaped man, and I've got to put up with it. Thanks, old fellow, and if it ever comes my way to do you 8 good turn these bow-legs will canter to your assistance. "- Detroit Free Press.

The Real Martha Washington.

Martha Washington, as we read ol her, was good deal of nonentity- or, perhaps, we should say, merely an addenda to the immortal George. Man and wife are one is set forth in the learning and wisdom of law made by men for their own advantage, and the man is the one. This was plainly true as regards the Father of His Country. He stands in history alone; she adds nothing to his name or fame. Like many of the Queens of old, her name appears in the history of the country. not from personal talents or eminent qualities, but simply as the rich widow whom Washington married, and who thenceforward sewed on his buttons and managed the housekeeping a, Mount Vernon in true Southern shift less style. if all the stories are to be believed. Tradition has it that when they lived at home they kept fifteen cows, and yet had to buy butter, and that with farm of more than two thousand acres and several hundred slaves they could not make both end: meet in the way of expenses. Blu, still Martha was 6 very busy woman In her day women did not read and but very few wrote. It is doubtful. says recent biography, if she eve. read book through, for reading on tho part of women was considered idling precious time away.-Pitts- burgh Dispatch.

THE WHEELING ICE.
Hunting the Seal or the Treacherous
 Coast of Newfoundland.


 Coast of Newfoundland.
 Thousands of seals are found in patches on the foes, but when one patch is exterminated the men often have to wander far from the ship in search of more prey. and it is then that their early training in copying comes in advantageously. Occasion ally the sealers go eighteen or twenty miles away from the vessel over the ice, and in all places it may not be equally strong. Sometimes the pans are scattered; then the experienced copyist will use slab of ice as raft, guiding it into the desired position with his gaff. and so ferrying himself across the ''leads'' or open water Al other times the Holly or ''sludge' is soft, but will bear just one foo1 at a time. so the hunters spring rapid ly over till they find a more secure pan on which to take breath. When they have gone far and have to drag their ''tows" of skin a considerable distance back to the ship, it may happen that where the ice has been all secure on the journey out the sealers find gap too wide to jump ly- ing right in their homeward path. But even if no floating pans are within reach, they are at no loss what to do; the ''tows.' each containing five or six sealskins with the blubber attached, are flung into the water; the blubber causes them to float and the men use them as stepping-stones across the open water. Accidents, of course, oc- cur from time to time, and men often go through the dolly" or miss their foot ing and come in for cold bath, which, considering their filthy condition, may not be altogether an unmitigated evil; but it is ra"ely that any of them are drowned, as help is always at hand. Occasionally the whelping ice approaches so close to the shore that the landsmen come in for their share of the spoil, and then even the women and children eagerly join the scene of carnage. In the spring of 1883, at place called Bett's cove, one woman secured five-and-thirty seals in one day, and at Twillingate many women killed heavy loads of seals, the people going twelve miles from land On the ice to reap this harvest. When the ice remains tightly packed for any length of time in the bays the seals some times crawl on to the land, and at Bonavista Bay it has happened that as many as 1.500 seals have been killed among the bushes on one of the islands. A few years ago the seal ice came close to the town of St. John's, and the inhabitants sallied out to reap the benefit. As they went seaward in the morning some of the hunters saw a man with his gun beside him sitting on hammock of ice not far from the mouth of the harbor At his feet lay a dead seal. They went on in quest of their prey, and walked so far out that it was late in the afternoon before they returned. Happening to pass by the same spot they saw the man still sit ting on the same hummock and the seal lying as before. They went up to him The man was dead, sitting upright stark and staring. frozen hard as the ice on which he rested. - Nineteenth Century.

LIGHT ON PHRENoLoeX.
Some of Its Teachings Found to Havea
 Firm Scientific Basis.

Some Of Its Teachings Found to Have a
 Firm Scientific Basis.
 It is curious fact that modern re. search appears about to establish g firm scientific basis for some of the teachings of phrenology just at lime when that doctrine has passed almost entirely out of vogue. At the Anthro- biological Institute in London sOmC time since Mir. Bernard Hollander read paper on centers of ideation, bring ing together the results of many experiments in applying the galvanic currents to different parts of the brain
 It has been pointed out. for instance by various trained observers that tn emotion of joy throws into action th great zygomatic muscles which draw the mouth upward and backward while at the same time the obicula muscles are more or less con tracted. Now it has been found tha there is definite portion of the brail where galvanic current produces eX actly this effect upon the same muscles although a current applied elsewher, does not move them.
 1t is thus apparent that the effect O. a galvanic current upon this portion of the brain is to produce the physical expression of joy. and it is exactly ip this place that Combe located hi organ of cheerfulness. which he after wards called hope. Another learned professor has stated that the brain centers for the facial movements arc found to correspond with Calls center for mimicry or imitation. In still {: different spot the galvanic current wi, cause movements of the lips, tongu and cheeks, indicating that here mus be the seat of gustatory sensation. Ii the year 1924. when phrenology was attracting great attention, many men claimed to have discovered the organ of gustativeness or alimentiveness, which they located over this same spot
 There is also another center where the current causes contraction of 9 certain muscle which retracts the angle of the mouth, and is strongly contracted under the influence of fear, and for this reason has received inc name of the muscle of fright It is in this region that Gall and Spurz- helm located their organ of cautious ness, which they found largely devel- oped in timid people. There is still another center which when excited by the current, is said, to cause raising of the shoulders wi tn extension of the arms," and both Darwin and Mante- gesture to ''the expression of patience. submission and the absence of any in- tention to resist" Just here was placed Calls organ of veneration, and when this is defective in children, Combe says, they are regardless of au- thority, prone to rebellion and little attentive to command.
 It would seem, from the facts gath cred and compared by MT. Hollander. that the founders of what we are ac- customed to consider as the antiq uated system of phrenology, though unable in what was the state of knowledge at that time to demonstrate their conclu- sions, must have been extremely shrewd and careful observers of all the facts which lay within their reach and that the theories which they based upon these observations are we'll worth careful re-examination in the light of modern science.-N.
