Look here, Cora, said old Brown
comes to see you hereafter you
must make him take a seat in the
middle of the room.
Why so, pa?
Because he uses oil on his hair
and he'll soon have the wallpaper
ruined.
She-And do you really love me
George?
He-Of course. Why do you ask
dear?
Why you seem so Indifferent of
late. We haven't had quarrel
for two weeks!

A Brazil Ind. miner came home
the other day to find not particle
of food in the house. There was an
old banner, relic of the last cam
paign, in the garrett, incribed
with the legend, "Protection and
prosperity. Free trade means
starvation" His amiable Demo-
sratic wife wisely suggested they
might make soup out of the BAN
ner. This would have meant that
protection was in the soup. We be-
lieve that the eyes of the working
men are being opened and that
soon every last vestage of this des-
cription Of the devil will be swept
away.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Late Maria Mitchell.

From an open letter on Maria
Mitchell, the astronomer, by Anna G..
Bracket in the Century we quote the
following: Nothing was more
characteristic of her than the way in
which she accepted the position and
the salary offered her, without ever
thinking to inquire whether the salary
was the same as that given to the other
professors. 1t was the chance to work
that she wanted, the chance for infiu-
ence in one of the first colleges for
women. The money she was to re-
ceive was a minor consideration, and
quite as characteristic was her indigna-
ton when, after being there for con-
siderable time, her attention was at
last called to the fact that she, ma
ture woman, with European fame,
was receiving a salary less than that
paid to some of the professors who
were young men, almost entirely with
out experience, and quite destitute OF
reputation. The indignant protest,
which then called for an equal salary,
was not personal affair. She famed
out in behalf of all women, and of alb
stract justice, with a glow which forced
an immediate increase of salary. The
excuse for this injustice must be found
in the fact that, at the time when
had not proved what they can do in
professional lines, and, second, in the
very conservative influences which
guided the policy of the institution. In
her religious belief Maria Mitchell was
attached to one of the so-called most
liberal sects. The children of the old
Quaker families of Nantucket generally
went over to the Unitarians if they de-
parted from the strict faith of their
fathers, so that in this matter also she
was almost if not quite alone at Vassar.
But she was appointed on the ground
of her reputation as an astronomer,
and fortunate was it for the college
that the question of her religious be-
lief was not raised till after her ap-
pointment.
THE absolute truth which, as have
said, was the keynote of her character,
could not fail to make her teaching
thorough, for love of truth is one and
the same, whether in the intellectual or
the moral sphere. But, as with all
true teachers, it was the force of her
personal character that acted most up
on the young women with whom she
came in contact. Not one of them but
was lifted and strengthened by her
strength, sincerity, and single-hearted-
ness. 1t was difficult for her to use di-
plomacy in never so small degree,
and what skill in it she did gain was
the outcome of long years of experience,
and she never employed it without q
mental protest. She gave the New En-
gland stamp to whatever work she
touched, and the lines of influence she
has left on many characters are as in
delible as those on the rock surfaces
of New England's granite hills.

History of Forks.

A silver platter says. I'm only one
medi8val record is there any men
ton of the use of fork after the
fashion of modern times. The hero
inc of this record is a Byzantine
woman, who married Doge of Venice
many centuries ago. In Venice this
Byzantine woman continued to eat as
she ate at home. She cut her meats in
very small bits on her plate and car.
ried each bit to her mouth on two
tined fork. The people of Venice re.
garded this unusual manner of eating
as symptom of morbid luxury.
SIN all probability, as this incident
indicates the modern use of the fork
originated at the cultivated Byzantine
court, and spread gradually to the West.
The Western people did not take kind
ly, however, to this instrument of new
tangled Eastern table manners Many
centuries were required for its general
introduction and adoption. The
famous Byzantine who ate with her
fork in Venice lived in the eleventh
century. Not till the seventeenth cen.
tury did the great folk of Europe begin
to follow her example.
''In 1862 the use of forks, according
to modern ideas, was generally known
but not generally adopted. Heylin, an
English writer, mentioned it then as
the custom among dandies. In a
French book printed in 1878 are these
words: When person helps himself
from the platter he should take care not
to take his piece before the most dis
tinguished persons have taken theirs
A person should take all he wants at

The New York fire department owns
and uses S53 horses.
The boys of the Mannheim (Pa. High
School were having scientific expert
ence several days ago, and toillustrate
it tallow candle was placed in a gun
and John Martin was to fire it through
board. The gun kicked with such
force that young Martin was knocked
senseless.
John W. Sans tells the Bedford
Gazette that he served as a sharpshooter
before Petersburg in April, 1865, and
that he fired 153 shots, 73 of which he
saw take effect, one unhorsing A. P.
Hill. He says the statement sounds
large, but he declines to subtract a
single victim.
Two pairs of twins, aged respective
ly eighteen and eighty-one years, met

pair, and the Misses Williamson, of
Washington, D. c., the younger.
The Germans are distinguished for
their love of titles. The climax in this
direction was reached few days ago
in Darmstadt, when the grand duke

Cases of drunkenness among children

Cases of drunkenness among children
in Berlin are becoming very common
according to letter in the London
Standard. The new and startling vice
is supposed to be fostered by the perni-
cious habit of parents of giving alcohol
to extremely young children, and allow
ing them to drink wine and beer like
adult persons.
A steamer sails from England every
year for the mouth of the Yenesel
River, taking merchandise thus direct
to Siberia by water. The steamer
generally manages to get through such
ice as it encounters, and it sends its
merchandise up the Yenesel into the
very heart of Siberia on fat-bottomed,
light draught steamboats,.
