A New Glove Msnder.

1t is quite difficult matter to repair
ones gloves so neatly and perfectly that
it cannot be detected as an nonprofes-
SIGNALS work, but there is a little in
vention which facilitates this work to
such degree that even unframed hands
can do it with neatness and dispatch.
The apparatus is made Of nickel, and
consists Of two parts, which press against
each other by means Of spring. Part
Of the top edge is provided with small
teeth in close range to each other. The
seam Of the glove to be mended is care
fully pressed between these teeth, and
the needle passed in and out at every
opening. Repairing done in this man
ner is 80 perfect that it cannot be no

ePapal"
That was all she said.
Her voice fingered lovingly over
the syllables of the endearing title.
"Papa!"
Her great, tender heart was in the
liquid tones that rippled from her
lovely lips, and in the soft eyes that
beamed upon him with ineffable
tenderness.
"Papa!"
There he sat--a genial, noble
hearted old man, proud OF his family
nams, proud OF his irreproschable
ancestry, proud of his position In
society, prouder than all OF the
beautiful daughter whose breath
stirred the silvery locks that shaded
his venerable brow as she hung over
him.
ssPapai"
She was large, full grown,
mature woman of forty-one summers
and very backward spring, and she
called him papa for the reason,
perhaps, that she had forgotten there
was any such good old word as father
in the English language. Chicago

A HARD LIFE.

Pity Poor Henpecked King-The King
of Annam's Trials.
An Oriental dispatch casually men,
lions the fact that the king of AMMAN
has at present $40 wives. This leads
an analytical jacques of the Mime
apoli5 Tribune to moralize as follows:
Consider for a moment what this
statement entails. CHANGING back a
few years in the life of the king it is
evident that at one time, not long
past, Annam's ruler must have had
$40 sweethearts. II he had visited
each one whole evening it would
have been impossible to have gone
through the list in d year. Now, no
self-respecting girl will be satisfied
with a lover who calls once year.
Twice a week is a good average. On
this basis let us do little figuring.
The King of AMMAN visited SIS girls
twice week. That would be 1,l58
visits a week, or, counting Sundays,
l65 visits night. 10 any one who
knows how hard it is to tear himself
away from the front gate under the
circumstances in which AMMAN must
have found himself, the terrible wear
on the Kings constitution is evident
at the glance. Besides keeping on
the jump to- cover l65 assignments
there were on each evening 165 cases
Of, mental anguish occasioned by
tearing himself away process.
Suppose, next, that AMMAN said to
each girl: Il love you, dearest. You
are the loveliest woman in the world "
Suppose, if you can, that he said this
only. That is twelve words to each
woman, 1880 words to each evening.
That is over a column and half of
minion type, such as this paper is
printed in.
