covered the box and dice with it.
"Where is that dice now?" he asked one
of the men standing about.
ION top of the box, of course" was the
reply, "that is, If you haven't shifted il
since you put the hat down"
f'I have not" said the young politician,
and he iGed the hat again and sure enough,
there sat the dice on the box. just as it had
been before.
He sat the hat down again and took his
hands away from 1t, while he asked the same
question he had in the first instance.
''On top of the box, of course" repeated
the man who had been questioned.
''You saw it there, did you?"
Certainly"
would you bet that it is on the top Of the
box?'
'Of would"
''I'll bet you dollar that it isn't where
you say it is"
"All right" and the men put up their
money.
The first man lifted the hat and there sat
the dice as before. ''What did tell you?''
exclaimed the second. "I'Ye won. There
is the dice on top of the box"
Hold a minute" exclaimed the young
politician. When you come to think Of
it, wouldn't it be rather difficult task to
set up dice on the top ofa dice-box when
there is only very narrow edge to set it on.
If you will look carefully, you will see that
the dice is resting on the bottom of the box,
instead of the top. guess the money is
mine, Mr.. Stakeholder"
''That's So" exclaimed the other man
who had bet, sit is the bottom of the box,

THE HUSBAND REPENTED.
How Clever Wife Kept Her LleEs Lord at

How a Clever Wife Kept Her LleEe Lord at
Home at Night.
New York Evening Sun.l
Apropos OF the recent discussion in an ex-
change as to the best method of keeping
giddy husbands at home o. nights, comes
the following aneedote: A little woman up
town, whose honeymoon waned three years
ago, discovered to her sorrow that her hus-
band took more interest in "a man who
called on important business Just as 1 was
leaving the Office" than in his home life.
After puzzling her pretty head for many
lonely evenings, she hit at last upon a plan
to startle her liege lord into repentance.
One night, after the little bronze clock
had sounded forth dozen chimes, the hus-
band entered the fat IN the condition usual
to gentlemen who devote themselves too as
siduously to their offices. He found on the
table note addressed to himself, informing
him that his spouse had gone to the opera
with "a friend.'
= Sitting word which is not to found in
the ritual, he sank into chair and gazed
vacantly into the fire. Remorse entered his
heart, and he murmured an audible. VOW
that he would never, no never, in italicized
capitals, go out at night without his dear
little wife. Was his repentance too late
has his wife's heart already hardened toward
him? Who was this friend" anyhow?
He would go to the Metropolitan and escort
her home himself He arose excitedly and
started for the door, but his progress was
arrested by pair of laughing black eyes
that peeped at him from behind the por-
ueres. That was six months ago. and since
then fond husband has discovered that his
darling is even more entertaining than she
was in ante-nuptial days

The Strange ADDaritiOn That Arose From an
Irish Lake.
New York Evening Worldl
On bright starlit New Years Eve, Just
four years ago, I was returning from the
village of Mn the north of Ireland. 1
had to pass the grounds of an old mansion,
long deserted save by the traditional ghost,
which was said to haunt the lake close By.
As I am not at all superstitious. I deter
mined to prove the truth or falsity of the
ghostly rumors Accordingly seated my
self on the trunk of fallen tree, and
waited with exemplary patience till the viii
lage clock chimed the hour of midnight.
Shortly afterward 1 distinctly saw rise from
the surface of the lake a thin, vapory mist,
out of which foated the shadowy form of a
woman.
rubbed my eyes to see if 1 were not the
victim of a horrible nightmare, but no,
there it was, vision of reality, with look
Of awful terror depicted on its countenance
Then it disappeared.
1 cannot say how long 1 remained on the
terrible spot, but the memory of that night
will haunt me till my dying day.

A GOOD TIME COMING.
Olive ThOrne Miller on the Benefits to
be Derived From the
COOPERATION OF SINGLE WOMEN
Saving Money and Making Home by
Combining Incomes.
ITEMS OF INTEREST TO THE FAIR SEX
rwR1rrEv ZOE zee p1srArcu.l

The good times coming into the lives OF
women in our day are not merely for rest or
recreation, or even for purposes-of culture
solely; wide field is opened for economy
and comfort in living. for having home
the dream and desire of every woman. Two
or three persons with small means may
struggle on, each maintaining a decent ap-
pearance, with what private sacrifices of
taste and comfort only such reduced gen.
tlewomen" know-and tragical chapter of
yet unwritten social history they could re-
veal if they would. But now that women
are broadening. all this suffering may be,
and often is, wholly relieved. Four women
battling for their lives on insufficient means
may unite, live together and be comfortable,
even luxurious in many ways. They may
have their own house or fiat; theymay en-
joy better food, live in better neighbor-
hood, have money for books, or little out
lngs of various sorts; in other words, they
may live, instead of barely keeping soul
and body together, and starving and out
raging both soul and body in the operation.
>And what is the one virtue needful to ac-
complish this improvement in their condi-
tion? Nothing on earth but tolerance, or
good sense. The money that will pay for
four separate rooms In unpleasant neighbor-
hoods will-if put together-hire comfort
able fiat or small house in good one; the
coal that will warm and cook for one alone

A FISH IN HIS JUG.
The Remarkable Yarn Told by a Down.
East Munchausen.

The Remarkable Yarn Told by a Down.
East Munchausen.
There used to be an old resident of Fay
ette, Me-, who was greatly given to spin
ming yarns, says the Local Press. He was
the hero of his own narratives, and, to hear
him tell it, his adventures, exploits and hair
breadth escapes were as wonderful as those
of Baron Muncbausen or Sinbad the Sailor.
He has left the shores of time and gone to the
happy hunting grounds, but some of his
stories still survive. Here is specimen:
One day he was out on the lake near his
home, fishing. and happened to have two
gallon stone jug in the boat, which jug ac-
eidentally fell overheard, filed with water
and sank to the bottom. Some years after
ward he was again fishing near the same
place, when, feeling strong bite, he
tugged stoutly at the pole and pulled into
the boat on one end of the line the identical
lost jug with big pickerel in it. It seems
that the fish, when small, swan into the jug
and not finding the way out, grew to large
size in its prison. When the baited hook
CHANGED to drop into the jug the fish seized
it and was caught.
This was one of the many marvellous tales
that the old man used to tell, and it hurt
his feelings and reused his ire if any of his
auditors ever ventured to question his
veracitY.

THE TOAD-STONE.
A Celebrated Amuief and the Remarkable

A Celebrated AmuieT and the Remarkable
Properties Credited to It.
Troy Times.I
The toad has had its day of Importance in
the minds of these who look for specifics
against diseases, and so has the toad-stone,
VIII ich was described by Joanna Baillie in q
letter to Sir Walter Scott as celebrated
amulet which was never lent to anyone unless
upon bond for 81 900 marks for its being
safely restored. 1t was sovereign for pro-
tecting newborn children and their mothers
from the power of the fairies, and has been
repeatedly borrowed from my mother for
this purpose"
This amulet was described as being con-
vex circular stone, rather less than three
quarters of an inch in diameter, semi-trans-
parent, dark gray and apparently silieious
composition; it was set in massive silver
thumb-ring. Besides its virtue as a charm
for keeping off wicked fairies, the toad
stone was believed to be specific against
diseases of the kidneys; it was immersed in
q cup of water and then quafed of.

sherose purple and calm, like queenlwho had
purposes and secrets of her own. Overhead,
the clear far fine ether of the Oriental sky
throbbed-pale fire melting into dome of
gray.
Suddenly the still air thrilled to wide,
strong tone.
1t was the crv or the trumpet from the
synagogue, calling all the children of Jeho-
yah to the evening prayer.
The master of the household rose at the
summons; the women followed him; the
slaves in the court stopped, arrested in their
labors; the Jewish family paused With bowed
heads and clasped hands; they prayed si-
lently; they stood with their face toward
Jerusalem.
When the PRAYER was finished Martha
went below to give orders to her women; and
Lazarus seated himself quietly. But Mary
moved to the edge of the roof and looked off
into the valley. She sat down. behind the
tiled railing that ran around the roof that
she might not be observed of passers; her
face expressed sudden and eager anima-
ton.
"what seest thou, Mary?" asked her
brother kindly.
Come hither, Lazarus" replied Mary
softly. "Look for thyself." She pointed
downward toward the valley where the
oAoNN" Woo AacSCA budu ~ W 90
deepening A group of people travelling
from the direction of Jerusalem, winding
about the mountain side, had come to halt.
Their figures could still be seen from the
roof of the house.
Mary lifted her beautiful arm and pointed
with one finger at the road; the delicate out
line of the finger trembled.
SIT is he, she said.
''Nay. 1 see him not, protested Lazarus
sit is he, " repeated Mary undIsturbed.
The two passed over the railing. the
woman sheltered by her brothers presence,
and gazed into the valley intently
The group upon the highway had paused
at the summons of the evening prayer, it
seemed; or perhaps-was,there another inter-
ruption?
Tall and motionless among the clustering
people one figure rose pre-eminent to the eye
1t was the figure of man, young in years
and yet clothed with great dignity. The
light was too faint to discern his form with
distinctness, except that it stood a little
apart from what seemed the urgent pressure
of the people who had the aspect of entreat-
ing him eagerly. In the faint light the man
could be seen or he seemed to turn his face
toward the height, and perhaps in the direc-
tion of the house of Simon the leper. APP

From NeIghborInE Tribes.
Thomas Stevens in N. Y. WorId.]
One day band of Wa-Kahe hunters met
three of Mandara's people on the hyphene
plain we had just crossed and wantonly
murdered them. A few days later the
koodoo horn trumpets blared iercely on the
hills of Moschi; the Napoleon of Chaga col
lected his warriors, and, alter killing a
goat and examining the liver and entrails
to make sure that the fates were pro pitious
and success certainty, ordered them to go
and s'eat up" Kahe. The Moschi spearmen
succeeded in gaining entrance into Kahe
during the night, and in the gray of the
morning smote the astonished foresters hip
and thigh. Many warriors were killed and
many women and children carried off and
sold as slaves. The victors then completed
the orders of their chief by chopping down
the banana groves and burning the houses.
The remnant of the tribe found 1t extreme
ly convenient to sue for peace. They got
it, and now, at certain seasons of the year,
long files of Kahe women and warriors may
be seen vending their way to Moschi, carry
ing on their heads tribute of natron, which
is the salt of this part of Africa. The Wa
Kahe collect this on the plain and convey it
to Moschi in sacks made of the fibre of the
berassus palm.
