EastIake's Smart Baby.

"Let me tell you the latest cute thing
my baby said," exclaimed Eastlake to
Squildig, as they met on the street
yesterday afternoon, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph.
Sorry" replied Squildig, who is the
father of six children of assorted ages,
''but the fact is I've train to catch,
and only Il few minutes to catch it in. !"
s'Oh. it won't take a minute" per-
sisted Eastlake, land it's really the best
thing she's ever got off. and she's awful
ly smart. too, for baby only two and
half years DID,"
go ahead, then," said Squildig, re-
siguedly, as he looked at his watch.
1T happened week or two ago.
You see, her mamma left her just a
minute to do some little thing and
when she came back baby wasn't there.
Mrs. Eastlake found her on the porch
in her stocking feet and fairly soaked,
for it was raining hard. Her mamma
grabbed her up and said very severely:
"Frances, if you had a little girl
who went out in the rain and got her
stockings wringing wet. what would
you do?' And what do you suppose
the smart little thing replied?"
Dunno. What?" asked Squildig,
with little apparent interest.
''She said, Put dry tottuns on her,
mamma Wasn't that real cute?''
Yes" replied Squildig, with a sigh.
And looking at his watch again he
started for the station on trot.

"Are You a NihiIist?"

A traveller describes an interesting
experience in Russia of a young Ameri-
can girl who was anxious to learn all
about the nihilists.
The young lady was walking through
brother. They found much in the city
to amuse and interest them. The sub
ject of nihilism was, however. upper
most in their minds, and whenever
they passed a frowsy beggar or oddly
dressed student they Immediately in a
joking way set him down for a nihilist.
Before leave the city," said the
young lady, II intend to investigate
the subject of nihilism thoroughly. 1
don't believe there are many of them,
anyhow, except in novels and on the
stage"
As the two continued their walk
they espied in shop window the sign
familiar to all Continental travellers
English spoken"
They entered. The young lady in
quired for the interpreter, and the pro-
prietor himself stepped forward. He
was Russian, and in excellent En-
glish asked in what manner he might
serve mademoiselle.
Il am from America" replied the
young lady. u want to learn all
possibly can about the nihilists. Per-
haps you are one? Won't you tell me
all about them. pleaseP"
At the word '.nihilist" CONSERVATION
seized the Russian. The color left his
face and he gasped, You are ignorant.
Don't speak, don't even think of that
word while in Russia. You may be a
spy, l don't know, but must ask you
to leave my shop"
The genuine fear of the man COM
municated itself to the young lady and
her brother. They left the store hur-
riedly, nor did they prosecute their in
quiry for knowledge of the nihilists
while thev remained in st. Petersburg.
ITO think" the girl said in narrat-
ing the experience to the ships COM
pany of the Normandie, while return
ing home; ''only to think of being
taken for a spy! Wasn't it dramaticP
So like Sardou."
Yes, indeed" said one of her
auditors. an American resident of Paris.
''it was dramatic, and but for the fact
that the Russian evidently understood
American customs it might have been
tragic. He probably knew you were
not spy. He said that to frighten
you. He asked you to leave his store
for his own preservation. Had he act
ed differently you might have inquired
further and the result might have been
a long sojourn in Siberia" :"

Women's Superior Courage.

'Most people think that men are
more courageous than women" said
DIR. S. D. Black, of New York, 'but
the dentist knows that this is not true.
As rule a man will groan and swear
when the dentist tries to fill his teeth,
squirming. gripping the arms of the
chair and making big row about it.
And the heavier the man the bigger
coward he is. I've see strapping big
athlete sit down to have tooth pulled
and almost faint while I was looking
at it. On the other hand, light, little
bit of a woman will calmly close her
ewes, lean her head back in the chair
and submit to tortures that would
make the Sphynx swoon into in
sensibility. No, sir; woman can
stand dozen times the pain that a
man will undergo" Philadelphia

He Was a Gentleman.

There were ten of us who rode from
the depot to the hotel in Charleston in
the same 'buss, and as we entered the
Office short, thick-set, and determined
looking man collared young man
wearing eyeglasses and said:
'Ill thank you to return my wal
let!''
Certainly, sir, certainly. Let US
conduct ourselves as becomes gentle
men,"
You picked my pocket on the way
up, and / want my wallet back or I'll
mash your shouted the short man.
Exactly. No need of raising your
voice to disagreeable pitch. Never
forget that you are gentleman no
matter what the circumstance"
''Where is my wallet?n
Here, sir, and I have great pleas
ure in returning it. l am sorry that
we have had any misunderstanding" !"
An officer was sent for, and while
waiting his appearance the young man
said to the crowd:
II never have any trouble with a
gentleman, never. l am obliged to all
of you for the courtesies which you
have extended. Let us part as gen.
tlemen should"
The officer soon arrived and walked
him away to the station, but that even
ing about 9 o'clock, as I was walking
on Meeting street, the prisoner halted
! me and said:
Il desire to thank you for your con-
sideration in that affair. You treated
me as gentleman. sir. and shall not
| forget it."

''Oh, yes. / was locked up tight

l went up to the police station to in
quire about it, and the sergeant in
charge replied:
What! That genteel fellow with
eyeglasses! Oh, he's in there"
But you had better look"
He entered the corridor and looked
into the cell. 1t was empty. The

window bars off and gone out by way

Power of a Shaman.

The implicit reliance placed upon
the word of shaman and his influence
over a fellow-tribesman may be illus
trated with this anecdote. A Sioux
Indian who had lost a relative by death
vowed to kill the first living thing he
met. This was once not an uncom-
mon practice among our Indians.
Issuing from his lodge, he chanced
to meet a missionary-a man much
beloved by all, from whom this Indian
had received many favors. Unwilling,
but bound by his VOW, he shot his ben
efactor as he passed. Indian usage
did not sanction bloody retribution
on the murderer, since the obligation
of his VOW was recognized by all.
The shaman, however, upbraided
him for his act and pronounced his
doom. saying, You will die within
the year."
The Indian, though apparently a
well man at the time, was seized by a
wasting disease and actually did die
within the specified time. a victim of
his own superstitious imagination

Gifts for Invalids.

A very small thing of beauty that
will be pleasant sight for an invalid's
eyes while it lasts is carrot or sweet
potato followed out on the inside to
leave wall about three-quarters OF an
inch thick. The vegetable is suspend
ed by cords passed through holes
pierced in the sides, and the cavity
filled with water. In few days up
turning sprays of green will sprout
from the bottom and cover the out
side, and if small bunch of violets is
put in the little quaint hanging basket,
it will have charming appearance.
A pretty little thing to leave on
sick friends table is a plant saucer.
with three pine cones standing upright
in the center. The arrangement of
sticks or hair pins, by which you COM
pei them to assume and maintain an
erect position, may be concealed by a
mat of real moss. There should also
be layer of sand in the bottom of the
dish. Grain or grass seed should be
scattered over the cones, and if the
saucer is kept full of water the seeds
will sprout and show a beautiful ten
der green, in fine contrast to the rich
brown of the cones.
1t is such pleasure to watch green
things growing that either of these
simple gifts is an aid to pass the weary
hours. Even a finger-bowl with a thin
Iayer of cotton sprinkled with faxseed.
which grows and lives for while on
such nourishment as it drains from the
water beneath, is a cheerful, pretty
decoration for sick-room.
For friend who is too feeble to sit
at desk or table to write, it would be a
pleasant task to fit up writing tablet
which can be used when one is in a re-
clining position, and which offers
facilities for storing writing imple-
ments, notes, and the other etc@teras
that an invalid dislikes to be always
asking other people to procure for her
use.
The foundation is a seasoned pine
board twenty-five inches long by
twenty-one broad. This is covered
with felt, which upon three sides hangs
over the edge, and is supplied with flat
pockets to hold letters. The front to
each pocket is cut into a point,
which buttons down to protect the con.
tents. Across each end of the board
are. straps and little superimposed
flat pockets to hold pens, pencils,
stamps, cards, and envelopes. Oi
course these conveniences must not in
wade the space needed for writing. A
leather-covered travellers inkstand
with a spring in the cover to preven
the spilling of ink. can be firmly glueo
on one upper corner, and pen tray
and stamp box on the other corner. a
row of brass-headed nails should be
put all around the edge of the board
and the straps and pockets can b.
} fastened on with smaller brass nails

pockets. can be folded over the tol
