When one Sleeps.


A shrewd man says, "a man can de-
ceive me as to his real character when
he is awake, but if l can once see him
asleep I can tell you what he is" And
there is strange truth in it. In sleep a
man is off guard The will no longer
dominates, and first nature comes back
and asserts herself. One can make his
face say what he chooses when he is
awake, but when sleep touches his face
it tells the truth. The forced smile slips
away and the cruel lines about the
mouth stand out. The closed eyes shut
out the look of determination that some
times gets into mans face without the
reality in his soul, and the childish indie
cision and irresolution that come back
show you that the man is weaker than he
makes you believe.
1t was half knowledge of this fact
that a clever French woman used to
phrase when she declared that she never
would see any of her friends early in the
morning, because she hadn't got her mask
on yet. Her face hadn't got the soul out
of it yet--or hadn't got the soul into it,
which was it?-and she instinctively shut
herself away from detection. We all Jug
gle with our real selves and appear to be
what we are not, more or less, but the
truth does manage to get itself said some
how and sometimes.-NewY York Even

Funny Mistakes of Authors.

Everything lies in the application of a
manuscript to the right channel. | have
seen some funny mistakes made by au-
thors. One would imagine that any au-
thor would avoid the error of sending a
short story or serial novel to The North
American Review or poem to The Fo-
rum, and yet scores of authors are doing
these very things every month. / know
bright literary woman who persistent
ly sent six patches of poetry at different
times to The Popular Science Monthly
and felt aggrieved because in each in
stance her verses came back. "Misap-
plication" would be an appropriate epi-
taph for the tombstone of many dead
author.
The trouble is that there are lot of
careless, unthinking authors writing to-
day who ought to be in some other busi-
ness. They hear some one speak a GER
tain title-perhaps it may be in naming
list of dead magazines-and they i'm
mediately grasp at the name as new
channel for their wares, and next day off
goes manuscript addressed to the peri
odical they heard mentioned. know Of
magazines which stopped publication
years ago to whom manuscripts are still
being sent.-Edwin w. Box.

Freight Elevator Accidents.

Few people are aware how many persons
are yearly injured on freight and passen-
ger elevators. During the past year in
Boston thirty eight individuals were hurt
or killed in elevator accidents, and other
parts of the state swelled this number suf-
ficiently to make it average nearly one each
week. The largest number of these acci-
dents have occurred on freight elevators,
and mainly through the earelessness of the
persons injured. Captain Damrell, in his
report imputes the cause of so many aeci-
dents to the indiscriminate use of the
freight elevator. Both he and Chief Wade,
of the state district police, favor legislation
by which freight elevators should be put
in charge of competent persons, who alone
shall be authorized to run them. In the
city of Boston there are 1,7O0 freight ele-
vators, and the number is constantly in
creasing. Boston Transcript.

New York Shop Girls Interpret a Passage
of Scripture Literally.
It was on a cross street near Sixth ave
nue. that one Of the human race was strug-
Cling with bottomless courage against an
Overwhelmingly adverse Fate with a big
F. This member of the human race was
about three feet high and of the feminine
gender, and the fate took the form Of a
great, fat two-year-old child dead asleep.
Where she had come from or how she
had ever gotten away from there is more
than can guess, but when first saw her
she was staggering across the street under
her impossible load. only to sink, help
lessly overcome, on the curbstone. 1t was
dark, little after six in the evening, but
the young ones had CHANGED to tumble un-
der a gas lamp. Just then two young
women came along; they had come out of
the back entrance of one of the great shops
ON the avenue. Evidently they were shop
girls.
'Do see that poor young one with the
baby" cried one, as her eyes fell on the
hapless pair. Just then the unconQuera-
BILE ''young one" struggled to her feet and
loaded up again.
81 say" said the same speaker, "she
can't carry that child. Wait a minute,
sissy" and the two hurried across the
street.
1t was easy in the gloom to keep in ear
shot, and if ever eavesdropping is justifia-
BILE is it not when it seems to promise a
chance to see better side of human nat
ure than this sordid old world usually
brings to the surface?
''Where are you trying to go?"
"You can't carry that child to save your
life" The two spoke together.
"I've carried him lots and lots of times"
declared the mite in voice divided be-
tween defiance and misery.
"Well, l guess he's gained five pounds
since last week by the look of him, and a
baby asleep like that always weighs ton.
Where do you liver"
The mite murmured something about
Second avenue One of the girls whistled.
1t was very unladylike, but 1 for one am
willing that she should whistle whenever
she pleases She and the other one looked
at each other minute.
It'll be nine before we get home," said she,
adding, unless we take the Twenty-third
street car one way"
"We can't afford it; you know we can't.
1t won't hurt us to lose our dinner. They'll
save us something to eat."
The mite began trying to gather the
young Jumbo off the pavement again.
wait-we'll carry him for you"
Both were speaking, and both leaned over
to pick him up.
"Let me take him first" said the girl
that whistled and that had first spied the
pair.
"Whew, what loadl You've no idea,"
said she, and the queer quartet started off,
the mite trotting along with a watchful
eye cooked on the baby, but entering now
into friendly explanations.
'He just would go to sleep all at once"
heard her say.
I had not heard the Scripture about
bearing one another's burdens quoted dur

as if 1 had been listening to large and elo-
quent sermon thereon.-New York Herald

Cot Even with Him

"Kin l have this seat, mister?" said a
grizzly bearded, frowsy haired, long limbed
man as he wandered up the rear car look
ing for place to alight.
The sour faced individual in the seat
looked at him a moment and snapped:
'No, you can't have it, it belongs to the
railroad company; you may occupy it."|
The frowsy headed man looked dunn
founded, but slid into the seat.
"D'you objeck to my smokin'2" inquired
the lean man.
Wouldn't make continental differ
crank.
The frowsy haired man did not reply to
this, but fired up his favorite brand of the
weed.
"Purty brisk md stormy day, amt itP"
put in the lean man. The crank peered at
him moment, "Huh that's nothing new,"
he replied. every idiot knows that"
This seemed to nonplus the lean man,
and he gave up his attempt to be social. 1t
was easily seen that this lean man was con-
siderably fustered at the rebuff he had re-
ceived.
He seemed to be willing to be eliminated
from the earth. Several passengers had
heard the conversation and watched de-
velopments eagerly. They came.
After the thin, lanky man and the crank
had ridden several miles in silence the
former revived and began search in his
vest pocket. He pulled out cigar and
said:
'Hev' seegFi"
The crank put forth his hand to take it,
and the thin man Immediately replaced it
in his pocket with grin.
'No ye dontp' he exclaimed.
The passengers grinned, and some even
smote their knees with their palms and
laughed heartily.
The lean man then gave it to the crank
''in the neck" as follows:
"You are too confounded cranky to ex-
ist. Eff you was out in our section they'd
White Cap you and learn you manners.
You can't smoke ON, mel Ia, ta."
With wave of his hand, betokeAing
both triumph and scorn, the lean man
made his escape from the seat and his exit
from the car.-Albany Argus.

The Locust of the Arab.

By the Arabs this speech is put into the
locust's mouth: "We are the army Of the
great God, and we lay ninety-nine eggs;
were the hundredth put forth the world
would be ours" According to the state
ment of these people, the locust has the
head of the horse, the horns Of the stag,
the eyes of the elephant, the neck of the
OK, the breast of the lion, the body of the
scorpion, the hip of the camel, the legs Of
the stork, the wings Of the eagle and the
tail of the dragon. A common belief in
this country is that the wing of the insect
is always marked with letter w, portend-
ing war, or the letter P, promising peace.
