The Borrowing Neighbor.

Mother has often told me of a funny
time she had when she was quite a
young housekeeper, afflicted with a
borrowing neighbor. This lady seldom
had anything of her own at hand when
it was wanted. SO she depended upon
the obliging disposition of her friends.
One day my mother put on her large
housekeeping apron, aud stepped
across the yard to her outdoor kitchen.
The kitchens in Kentucky were never
part OF the house, but always ut n
little distance from it, in separate
building.

the cook. who WAS browning coffee
grains in skillet over the fire. Il

rowed all dc eggs and cream TO- her.

This was high-handed proceeding,
but nothing could be done in the case.
1t was Mrs. Jenkins habit. and mother
had always been SO amiable about it,
that the servants, who were easy-go-
ny, never troubled themselves to ask
the mistress. but lent the inconveient
borrower whatever she desired.
Sometimes just rs we were going to
church. | was too little at the time to

black boy with very white teeth and a
very woody head would pop up at her

day herself"
Or. of IL summer evening, her maid
would appear with modest request
for Miss Emmelnc's lace shawl and
red satin satin fan; Miss 'Tida wanted
to make call, and had nothing to
wear.

writer in the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
She was accompanied bv Mrs. John

WAS for 80 many years American min
lister to France. The two ladies were
conspicuous figures in the crowd of
fashionable visitors from every land
which thronged that famous health
resort. Mrs. Bigelow was that sum-
mcr the guest of Mrs. Aver, and was
as much noticed for her eccentriciries
in dress ~ Mrs. Aver was for her
splendid toilets.
The latter, who has II pleasing but

age, but yet so welded to the gay
world that she dcvotcs much Of her

Her favorite necklace was Il string OF

TOLSTOI AND THE BEAR.
How the Celebrated Novelist's Presence
of Mind Saved His Life.

An incident is related about the cele-
brated writer Count Tolstoi, which
nearly cost him his life. He went out
on bear hunt with some of his friends.
and, after selecting spot which COM
marded a good view of the surround
ing grounds, some of the more ex-
perienced hunters suggested that the
snow had better be trampled down so
that it would be easier for them to
move about and get out of bruins way
and have time enough to take shot at
him if he should come upon them I'M
expectedly.
The count. however, although up to
his waist in the snow, objected to this
and said that it was entirely I'M
necessary, since the whole thing con-
sisted of shooting the bear and not
wrestling with him.
They did not have to wait long. for
the bear. which had just risen from its
lair, was walking along to get out of
the way of the hunters when it sud-
denly stepped out into the open space
directly in front of Tolstoi.
He coolly took aim and fired. but the
ball, for some reason or other went
wide of its mark. Taking aim again
he fired, this time hitting the bear in
the head. and the bullet lodged in the
lower jaw and of course only made q
very irritating wound, which made the
bear so savage that, taking a few
jumps. he was upon Tolstoi before he
was able to realize it. just as the bear
came close enough 10 him he dropped
down, and of course the bear went
right over his body. Tolstoi's whole
body sunk into the deep snow, and, the
only part that remained exposed was
his head. which the bear tackled as
soon as he had recovered from his sur
prise in seeing Tolstoi disappear so
suddenly.
Tolstoi did his best to push his head
down as low us possible, and elevated
his fur cap for the bear to bite. Twice
the savage animal snapped at it, and
then, discovering his mistake, made u
bite deeper down. this time taking
piece of flesh from the counts right
cheek.
just ut this moment his comrades re-
turned, and by their loud wells sue
ceeded in driving away the bear. who
very slowly turned his back upon the
hunters and walked into the woods,
master of the situatiou.

OSCAR WhDE's cYNIcIsM.
The Apostle of the Lily Says Some Real
Cutting Things About Life.

Beauty ends where intellect begins.
Intellect is in itself an exaggeration
and destroys the harmony of any face.
The ugly and the stupid have the
best of it in this world. They can sit
quietly and cape. They live as we all
should live, undisturbed, Indifferent,
and without disquiet.
The one charm of marriage is that it
makes life of deception necessary for
both parties.
Conscience and cowardice are really
the same thing. Conscience is the
trade name of the firm. that's all.
Laughter is not bad beginning for
a friendship and is the best ending for
one.
The more insincere man is the
more purely intellectual his idea will
be, for it will not be colored by his
wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Every impulse that we stranglc
broods in the mind and seasons us.
The body sins once and has done with
its sin. for action is mode of puriiica-
ton. Nothing remains then but the
recollection of pleasure or the luxury
of regret.
Nothing can cure the soul but the
senses, just as nothing can cure the
senses but the soul.
The only difference between caprice
and lifelong passion is that the caprice
lasts little longer.
Sin is the only color element left in
modern life.
Young men want to be faithful. and
are not; old men want to be faithless
and cannot.
Punctuality is the thief of time.
Nowadays people know the price of
everything and the value of nothing.
Men marry because they are tired,
women because they are curious. Both
arc disappointed.
People who only Rove once in their
lives are really shallow people. What
they call their loyalty and their fidcli-
ty call either the lethargy of custom
or the lack of Imagination.
Faithlessness is to the emotional life
what consistency is to the intellectual
life-simply Il confession of failure.
Religion consoles some. Its mys-
teries have all the charm of firta-
ton.
Is insinccrity such a terrible thing?
think not. 1t is merely method by
which we can multiply our personali-
ties

A Critical Genius.

Among Rice's old acquaintance was
a leader of the orchestra, one John
C. Quite u musical genius was
C, and great character. He was
a perfect know-all no subject, either
artistic musical or scientific, could be
broached in his presence on which he
did not at once present himself as
authority. If a fast horse was men.
toned C had father or an uncle
who owned one that could distance the
animal in question with case. Should
any oae venture to give an account OF
Il remarkable storm where the hail
stones were as large as hens eggs, the
old leader was down on him with goose
erTs at once. On a certain Sunday
afternoon John Rice and party Of
his friends were sitting on the back
porch of his house, listening to some of
the marvellous experiences of c..
when the host. getting IA little tired Of
these wonders, exclaimed: C.
YOU seem to be an authority on most
matters; now | want your solution OF
n curious fact that is staring us in the
face. Look at that apple tree over the
fence"-pointng to one in the orchard
ut the back of the house. You see it
has no apples on it and all the rest of
the trees are full of fruit; now how do
YOU account for that?' c. ran his
eve over the orchard with profound
look. and rising slowly from his seat
mounted the fence. let himself down
upon the other side with as scientific an
air rs the performance would admit of.
and going down upon his knees began
to examine the roots of the barren tree.
The company during all this time were
watching the proceeding with bccom'
ing gravity. c., having cut off a
piece of the bark from the tree, wiped
his eyeglasses and examined the speci-
men with great care. At last he smiled
with placid kind of triumph and cx.
claimed, "Ah! | thought So" Again
climbing the fence. he returned to the
group who had been watching him and
said: Now observe. You see that
gray color on the edge of the bark?'
They did. We'll, that is called .titng,
norien1. and whenever that deadly sign
appears ut the root of an apple tree it
never bears fruit"
Il don't think you are quite right
about it." said Rice; for that tree was
full of apples yesterday. but the owner
came this morning and gathered them"
Taere was II shout of laughter aud
c. was dumfounded. 1t was a
dreadful blow, and it had the effect OF
curtaiing the scientific discourses OF

MIXED UP THE BABIES.
Two Mothers Are Unable to Distinguish
Which il Which.

And so the conversation ran for
several minutes.
Mrs. Patrick Collins and Mrs. John
Houston, who both live at 1875 Delaney
they returned from market Yesterday
morning. and, after search filled with
thrilling incidents, found the two babies
in the bed OF q young man who drives
an ice cart and who rents a $1.50-a-
week room from Mrs. Collins.
Both babies were perfectly nude and
both women claimed the same child.
Both were born on the 2Sth of May
last, both were boys, both had brown
eyes, and each weighed eleven and
half pounds. Each mother was Jealous
of the other and both claimed that her
child was the best looking
The little incident caused no end of
talk in the house, and both Mrs. Col
Inns and Mrs. Houston received con-
CALCULATIONS and teasings galore, which
they took in perfect good nature until
the last bit of pleasantly, which proved
too much for them.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Collins and
Mrs. Houston left the cherubs sleeping
and started out to do the days market
| ing. They both asked Mrs Commitz-
sky, who lives on the second floor, to
have an eye out for the children.
Mrs. Commitzsky afterward found
that she herself had to 60 out, so, after
taking look ut the sleeping beauties,
she decided that they would be all right
until their mothers returned and went
about her business.
1t was only half an hour from the
time Mrs. Commitzsky went away until
the mothers returned and found their
babies missing.
When the sweet little darlings were
found placidly sleeping, every woman
on the block was brought in to give
her opinion rs to which was which.
No one, however, could tell one
baby from the other, and things looked
ms though the whole business was 90
ing to result in very interesting fight.
Matters were finally quoted down n
bit and Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Houston
both took Il child. though the latter
was sure she had not got the right one.
During the argument both babies be-
gan to cry.
You've got my baby, l can tell by
the way he cries!" shouted Mrs. Hous-
ton.
Get out; you're crazy"
'Tll have that child if have to steal
it." replied Mrs. Houston, and then

After some talk .kat was accepted as
satisfactory.
Mrs. Houston won the toss and chose
her baby. Mrs. Collins took the other,
and both shouted with glee because
each had got the one she wanted.
AS it is both women are satisfied,
though the general impression about
the house is that each has the wrong
