A lady who prided herself on being

"Mary, how do | look when | am talk

"Mostly as if you was awful mad,

"Ah," said he, "the lady with whom
he had an appointment came sooner than
he expected. He would never have
lighted it if he had known"
NO" said the second, that isn't it,
He was only beginner, and he couldn't
stand any more of it."

the other. He dropped it by accident
and was too proud to pick it up"
Each one Of the three was sure that
his conjecture was correct, and they
urged their respective views with some
heat and animation. At short distance
from them stood two boys, one of whom
had been intently Watching the group.

Few men were ever more profoundly and
invariably serious than Stonewall Jackson
Prior TO the war he was professor of natural
and experimental philosophy at the Virginia
Military institute, and while in that position
he made what is believed to have been his
first and last joke.
One morning he called up member of the
graduating class, and with the utmost
gravity propounded the following scientific
question:
"Why is it impossible to send telegraphic
dispatch from Lexington to StauntonP
The cadet reflected for some moments, and
then replied that the explanation of this phe-
nomenon doubtless lay in the fact that the
amount of iron ore in the mountain drew the
magnetic current from the wires.
a covert smile touched upon Jacksons
features, fled away, and he said mo, sir;
you can take your seat"
Another was called up, but he too failed to
explain the mystery. third, and then a
fourth were equally unsuccessful Jackson
listening to their theories with profound at
tenton, but with the same sly smile which
had greeted the first attempt.
This smile probably attracted the attention
of the next cadet who was called. His coun-
tenance lighted up his lip broke into smile
in return and he said:
"Well, Maj. jackson, reckon it must be
because there is no telegraph between the
two places"
You are right, sir" replied jackson, who
had suddenly resumed his composed express
sion. "You can take your seat"
Then he called the class to order, and
calmly proceeded with the recitation as if
nothing had happened. Youths Companion.

One of the most remarkable works of
the kind constructed in modern times is
the aqueduct bridge of Maintenon.

water from the river Eure to Versailles.

water of the nurance is about sixty
miles in length, and one Of its aqueduct

the conduit which brings water from
Kaiserbrunn to Vienna is tifty-six and a

"Did you ever see mourning ringY'
asked Maiden lane jeweler of reporter
the other day. "Well, here is one.n
1t is heavy gold band, perfectly plain,
and with u seal in the shape of a coffin,
1t has glass face, through which can be
seen n skeleton in gold. On the inside of
the ring is the inscription, in black enamel,
giving the initials of the deceased aud the
date of death.
''These designs were used over CEN
fury ago, and now they are to be revived
as the latest fad Some young widows,
who find it difficult TO indicate their be-
reavement when indoors, with hat and
flowing veil removed, take advantage of
the ring to announce to susceptible young
men that they have returned to the mat
rimonial market. They need not look
melancholy. A turn Of the finger and the
sad news is told"

way of announcing their loss except by

The comedian Elliston used to tell a story
that humorously illustrates tue ruling passion
strong in death.
Macready was at one time alarmingly i'll
so i'll that the most serious consequences
were feared and the most desponding steps
taken, such as the administration of the sacra-
ment, etc. Eilis;on called to see him and was
admitted to the chamber of the presumably
dying tragedian, who feebly expressed a be-
lief in his approaching dissolution. Ellis
ton, deeply moved by his friends prostra-
ton, offered to do any service in his power,
strongly enjoined the family to keep the suf-
ferer quiet and glided on tiptoe out of the
ROOM He had not reached the bottom of
the staircase when an audible whisper
reached him: "Mr. Elliston, step up for a
moment, Mr.. Macready wishes to speak to
YOU
He went up softly and approached the bed
OF the dying man, supposing that some post
luminous attention was to be required of him.
Elliston addressed him with soothing SYM
pathy. Macready gave a slight indication
of temporary relief, aud in broken accents
said:

On one of the Women's streets of this
town, where the petticoatS are so thick
that man is almost as much out of place
as he would be at ladies' luncheon, there
is woman's barber shop. 1t has not u
striped pole in front of it. 1t is too
aesthetic for that, and the women ~ it in
flocks without such vulgar aids. it is
woman's place in the fullest sense of the
word, run by women and for women 1t
is the outcome of the usual long felt want.
Of course, there We're always places
where women could get their hair dressed,
but when the universal bang demanded
constant attention these great artists were
apt to act as if such minstrations were
beneath their attention. Then they
charged enormously. The places where
they trim bangs cheap We're obviously
masculine; even if they set apart Il place
for women there We're glimpses continu-
ally of dreadful, collarless, lathered male
beings, and to the inexperienced feminine
mind nothing seems so indecent as a man
being shaved.
Still another question of decency came
in. The fine ladies who have had their hair
dressed ever since they were II years old,
and who patronize men dressmakers and
milliners, of course have no sort of OBJ
lection to men BARRIERS but lots of young
women in u less exalted sphere find it
quite dreadful to have man fussing half
an hour over their heads. "You know. -
said one not over lucidly, with the
dentist you don't mind, because he hurts
you 50 dreadfully all the time, but with a
barber it is different. New York

Trying tho Engineers COURAGE

The fast runs out of Chicago are all
night runs, and it is night run that tries
the engineers courage. Driving ahead at
mile minute into a sea of darkness,
which human eye cannot penetrate is
work such rs no cowardly or even timid
man could perform.
Among engine drivers there are bold
men and tiinid men, but only the former
were selected for these fast runs. \ timid
man, prone to shut of steam for every
shadow seen ON the track, or for every
imaginary danger, for engineers are called
upon continually TO beat back their own
apprehensions, could never make time on
n run like one of these limited trains to
the west. Some of the best and brayest
engineers in the world are ON these foot
plates, and in this climate and under the
disadvantages besetting them they will
find enough u try their mettle. -Cnicago

DEATH DEPoSED.

Death stately came to young man and said.
"If thou vert dead
What matterf'' The young man replied,
See my young bride,
Whose life were all one blackness if died.
My land requires me; and the worlds self too,
Methinks would miss some things that can do. "
Then Death in scorn this only said,
BE dead"
And so he was And soon another's hand
Made rich his land.
The SUM- too of three summers had the might
To bleach the widows hue, light and more light,
Again to bridal white
And nothing seem'd to miss beneath the sun
His work undone.
But Death soon met another man whose eye
Was Natures spy,
Who said "Forbear thy too triumphant scorn.
The weakest born
or all the sons OF men is by his birth
Heir of the Might Eternal, and this Earth
Is subject TO him in his place.
Thou leav'st no trace
Thou. the mock Tyrant that men fear and hate,
Grim, heshless Fate
Cold, dark and wormy thing of loss and tearsl
Not in the sepuchers
Thou dwellest but in my crimson'd heart,
Where while 1t beats we call thee Life DEPART

Out of this world which Is not thine,
But mine:
Or stay because thou art
Only Myself"

STORIES ABOUT MEN.
How Raymond Rescued Coiored Boy
from Waiery Grave.

A good story, illustrative Of the presence
of mind of the late John I. Raymond is told
by an old actor. Raymond's company was
making a one night stop in little Georgia
town. The play was one in which the ocean
played a prominent part. The only ocean
owned by the managers Of the theatre was
very old and weak 1t had seen much duty
and was in very crippled condition,
To illustrate the rolling of the waves, a
number of street gamins were hired to so
underneath big blue cloth and bob up aud
down
The play was in its most interesting part,
Raymond was getting off some Of his best
gags. He was the only actor on the stage,
and the audience was uproarious, when an
accident occurred that came near wrecking
the play.
Among the "waves" was little negro.
The space was very narrow under the ocean,
and the bobbers got quite warm This par
ticular little negro felt the heat. He removed
one by one his habliments, until his red
shirt alone covered his nakedness.
In the midst of one of Raymond's best gags
the old blue cloth ocean suddenly ripped and
broke, and the aforementioned little negro
was seen CALAMITY struggling with the waves.
"Man oyerboardw cried out Raymond.
Some of the stage hands, dressed as sailors,
rushed in and threw the ittlo negro rope.
The drowning wave" grabbed an end and
the sailors dragged him out. When the au-
dience saw the little plckaninny in nothing but
his red flannel shirt, they simply roared.
The little negro was the hero of the town
ever afterward New York Evening Sun.
