An unluckx Tableful.

Several men were talking of superstitions so common among all classes of people. As matter of course, one of the things touched upon was the supposedly fatal mum. Der thirteen. An old colored man who happened to be within hearing distance felt moved to remark:
 "I want to tell you gem men not to make fun O dat thirteen business. ain't superfshus, but l tell you, don't you eat at no table whar dar' S thirteen. I dun do dat and I hope to die if pretty nearly every one of dem ain't dead and buried" :"
 His hearers expressed surprise at his remarkable statement and asked for particulars.
 "Well, some of them got killed, and one thing an another, and some jest nachelly died. But dey is pretty nearly all gone to-day"
 ''How long ago did this thirteen at-table incident occurf"
 ssNow, femme see. Been about thirty years since the war, ain't iti Well, I specs it must a-happened ten years before the war broke out. But it makes me feel about as un- easy as though it was only yesterday Chicago Times.

Want of Sense.

Great learning is not always ac- companied by large measures of
 common sense. z The celebrated Dr. Chalmers came home on horse- back one evening, and as neither the man who mad charge of his horse nor the key of the stable could be found, he was puzzled as to the best temporary residence for the animal.
 At last he fixed on the garden, and leading the horse thither, placed him on the gravel walk. When Miss Chalmers, who had been away from the house, returned, and her brother told her he had been unable to find the key of the stable, she in quired what he had done with the horse.
 sg took him to the garden, said the doctor.
 ITO the garden 2" she exclaimed. "Then all our flower and vegetable beds will be destroyedl l''
 Don't be afraid of that, ? said Dr. Chalmers. ''I took particular care to place the horse on the gravel walk.
 "And did you really imagine he would stay therei"
 f'I have no doubt of it." replied the doctor, with calm assurance. "So sagacious an animal could not fail to be aware of the propriety of refraining from iniuring the products of the garden"
 ''I am afraid" remarked Miss Chalmers, 'that you will think less favorably of the discretion of the horse when you have seen the garden. '
 True enough, the horse had rolled in and trampled upon the beds un- til they were a scene of pitiful de- vastation.
 "I never could have imagined, v remarked the doctor, in deep dis gust, ssthat horses were such sense less animals l''
 A retort about the surprising ignorance of a certain other order of animals must have been on Miss Chalmers tongue, but no doubt she kept 1t back.

Dangerous.

There are some people to whom innovations of any sort seem ill ad- vised, though they may not always be accurate in giving reasons for their opinions.
 Some years ago Col. Frobel, of Atlanta, Ga., was called on to guage the water in a stream in that region While he was engaged in this oper ation an old "wool hat' came along with cart drawn by single OK, on which was small load of wood.
 The old man halted his team as he came up to the colonel, and after surveying the workmen for a minute or two, he said:
 "What on arth are them men do- in tharfp
 "Well, {" replied the colonel, ''they are trying to find out how many bucketfuls of water run down this reek in twenty-four hours"
 The man gazed at the party in mute wonder, and then asked, Mister, are that plumb factf'
 "Yes," replied the colonel, ''that s just what they are doing"
 "Well, remarked the man grave Y, after another earnest contempla- ion of the work going on. "Well, lister, it may be all right, but it do ppear to me that thar thing are on- constitutional. Youths Compan-

Goodness of sailor-.

I have seen one of the passengers of the Marechal Canrobert, the yes sel run down by the Hoche. His account does not show where the fault is, for the passengers saw noth- ing until the moment of the acci- dent. Opinions are much divided on the subject, but the general feeling Is that the captain of the Marechal Canrobert was very imprudent in trying with vessel making twelve knots, to pass in front of ten men, of-war, covering large space and making seventeen CT eighteen knots
 What seems to have excited the admiration of all was the presence of mind and activity shown by the cap tain and crew of each vessel in the terrible situation, which lasted near ly sixteen minutes, before the Mare chal Canrobert sank.
 The captain of the Hoche had grappled the Marechal Canrobert, and his sailors, rushing on board, seized the passengers and hurried them on the deck of the gunboat. Not till they felt that the steamer was going down did the sailors hurry back to the Hoehe. The captain of the Marechal Canrobert was the last to leave his ship. But for the coolness of the captains and crews there must have been great loss of life.-Paris correspondence of The London Times.

A Delightful Trip.

One of the most delightful of European trips Is that to the north of Norway, the land of the midnight sun. A man who desires a com plete change of scene, to get out of the much frequented path of pleas ure scenes, can not do better than spend month among the sparkling fjords of Northern Norway in the month of June. It is a strange ex- perience to one reared in Southern latitudes to see the sun shining brightly during the entire twenty four hours. It sinks in the western horizon, seems to roll along 1t few moments and then, instead of sink ing out of sight, once more starts on its upward journey. Besides the awe naturally inspired by looking on the sun while the clocks are ehiming

Grief at palo Altos Death.

The death of Palo Alto caused eenuine grief in San Francisco,
 yhere the famous stallion was as
 ighly regarded as if he had been an eminent citizen. The attendants and others present when the great horse died were affected almost to tears. There was a painful silence for several minutes, unbreken until some one went to dispatch cable gram to Senator Stanford in Switz- erland. Palo Alto was fairly idol ized by the senator, who loved the horse next to the pet university which he built to commemorate the untimely death of his son.-New York World.

The aane cnrr-

In certain affections of the throat, such as acute pharyngitis, catarrh of the eustachian tube with pain in the ear, a Swiss confrere says that he obtains excellent results from mak- ing the patients yawn several times a day. It produces, it seems, almost instantaneous relief the symptoms rapidly subside, and the earache dis appears. Frequently the affection is cut short by this novel treatment. Yawning produces, as every one knows, considerable distention of the muscles of the pharynx, consti tuting 2 kind of massage, and under this influence the cartillaginous DOT ton of the eustachian tube con tracts, expelling into the pharynx the mucosities there collected Medical Record.

WITHOUT THElR WIVES.
Do sxen Have Better Times With or Witla-
 out Their wonen FaEkse

At this season there are so many men left in town while their families bic themselves of to the country that the question arises Do these compulsory widowers have better time with or without the women folks that belong to themf
 One men, who is devoted hus- band and father, frankly acknowl- edges that he looks forward to this particular period as a season of emancipation from family cares, ana as soon as the last wave of his wife s handkerchief fades from sight be- comes once again bachelor and takes up his club life with all his old time feryor.
 Fl miss them, of course, z he adds, siyet l mnst say enjoy the sense of freedom their absence brings. I do not have any desire to do anything that couid be looked upon as unbecoming my position as a husband and father, yet it is very nice feelin z to know that no dinner IS getting cold if l stop to talk to man or take in a base ball game, and that no little moaning cry will awaken me when once settle down to sleep
 This Is one mans views. Self ish, we hear you say a tritie, per haps. but undeniably truthful.
 Another type says: Home is simply tomb when the folks are away 1 always have better time when they are along, and somehow 1 don't get half as much enjoyment out of an elaborate dinner at club or restaurant as when 1 sit down to my simple home meal with my wife and little folks all about me. 1t seems to me If man IS what he ought to be it makes no difference in his fun if his wife is along. If, however. he doesn't want her to know of 1t, then you may depend it is altogether wrong and he ought never to have married. "
 We hear some man say "Can't, ' yet all tbe women will undoubtedly uphold this latter opinion. New York Commercial Advertiser.

Use Your Eyes.

One of the best possible illustra- tions of the great and sometimes un- expected value of careful observa- ton of small things Is furnished by an English naturalist's recent dis covery that nearly all writers on the habit of bees have blundered in as serting that a honey bee, when on a foraging trip, confines itself to one species of flower.
 It has been said that if bee be- gins, for instance, gathering pollen from daisy, it wiIl visit only daisies during that trip, avoiding clover blossoms, honey-suckles, violets, and so on.
 But Mr. c. W. Bulman announces that he has watched bees changing from one kind of flower to another during single trip. One bee, in particular, visited twenty seven flow CTS belonging to ten different species.
 If this is correct, the discovery has an important bearing upon the theory of the influence of bees in producing cross fertilization of plants.
 But how easy it would be for any person, boy or girl who knows flowers, for instance, to carry on such observation for himself or her self, thereby opening up not only a new source of intelligent recreation, which would rapidly increase in ir- terest, but gathering facts which might make a reputation for the young discoverer, and add materially to the stores of science.

STAGES IN CHRISTIANITY

Scarcely any form of speculation seems just now more attractive thal vague gless or quasi-scientific dem onstrations of the future of Christi anity, founded upon generalization derived from the history of the past Christianity, 1t is said, has passed through number of well marked stages of development, and some new form may be confidently ex- pected, and, indeed, Is manifestly approaching. Nor need one be sur prised if the new form should differ very widely from anything yet seen in history. The Christianity of the Nicene and Chalcedonian period differs, 1t is said, almost to the ex- tent of extreme contrast, from the simplicity of the belief or impress sions of the first disciples. The church of the great popes differed almost as widely frem the orthodoxy Of Athanasius and the general councils. By divergence fully as marked appears later on the ex- perimental piety of the Reformers or the Evangelicals.
 Next it seems as if there were al ready emerging Christianity of mere conduct, consisting of kind feelings toward mankind, with be. nevolent institutions of all sorts for the relief, or social legislation for the prevention, of all manner of dis tress. The holy places of the next stage may have ''built on them a dispensary, kitchen, social hall, lyceum, and, mayhap, a stage. It Is not very easy to understand why such a development should retain the name Christianity, except out of mere compliment to the memory of an atrophid ''supernat- uralism;" and, on the other hand, nothing Is more remarkable in the teaching of Christ, on one side, than the total absence of all schemes and plans for the machinery of practical benevolence But this whole theory seems open to the objection that 1t is not really demanded, nor per haps countenanced by the history of the past. The development of Christianity has not been a series of transformation scenes or metamor- phoses, like egg, caterpillar, chrysa- lis and butterfly. On this theory the disciples who had least Christianity were the apostles. They lived before the "dogmatism, ecclesiasticism and experimentation" of the past, as well as the conduct of the future. Moreover, what is called the dog matic period was equally ecclesiastie. It witnessed the complete establish ment of the patriarchal system; a wonderful centralization of power in a small oligarehy: which in the West was exchanged under extreme pressure of circumstances for the closer eentralization of a monarchy. One may always suspect a theory of human development which seems to explain everything with absolute completeness. It lies under the ob- jection of being "too clever by hal.

WOMEN LOVE TO BE PETTeD.
No Matter How strong Minaed oF Reaiant'
 They Enjoy H.


 You may consider yourself q very independent young person with the ability to take care of yourself, a strong go ahead business sense and d self-reIiance that makes you lose all fear of everything. Yet you are woman notwithstanding all that, and your nature is just the same even though you are perhaps 9 little stronger than your sisters. There will be time when the day has been hard, the burden heavy and things all al sixes and sevens general when you will lay down your ai- Jl independence and be glad to bs petted and fussed over as much as the weakest mem Der of your sex. It is born in us, this desire to be loved and cared for. The folding of q wrap around shoulders that begin to be chilly when the limbs are too tired to go after a shawl conveys more meaning than the mere action shows to the onlookep. It gives the weary nor tai sense of protection, watchfnl care that is more soothing than words when heart and brain are too exhausted for active demonstra- tions. A gentle touch, caress at an unlocked for moment; the thousand and ones little at tentions that woman rev els in are so much more valuable to her than to the give- that if her heart could be read sure. ly there would be more of this kind of gentle care shown long after the time for such demonstrations is sup posed to have gone by. Married men forget that the wife's heart yearns for those little attentions that he lavishea upon her as lover, but thought unnecessary when they settled down to the matter-of-fact business of everyday married life Such little touches are the glimpses of sunshine amid the trials and storms. They keep the heart young and the spirits buoyant, and the older woman gets the more she longs for the protecting love shown in the little quiet attentions that prove to her that she is an object of care and unremmitting thought Philadelphia Times.

Gay Summer Raiment.

The inclination of some of the ad vanced London toffs runs latteriy to solid bright colors in suitings. At Brighton and other summer re- sorts, and at semi formal town af- fairs, pronounced heliotropes, gray greens, strong blues and deep myr- tie have been generously exploited. Should this be the forerunner of what next seasons summer regime will bring forth, if wisely admins tered there should be no cause for regret. Nothing would be more in harmony with absolute good form for the season of gayeties-when con cession of brilliancy in costume is in comport with the surroundings-than a selection of solid eolorings in dis tinguished background hues. Moth ing, indeed, could be nearer the fine art trend, which IS manifest in the consideration of later day attire, than an emulation of those single shades found in rare old Chinese porcelains, the collection of which is admitted the most refined of all the art cults. The names of the colorings, bang de boem, lagoon green, mandarin blue and other technical description could be used with good effect in the furtherance of such scheme. - Clothier and Furnisher.

Cereals For Breakfast.

Almost all families are fond of cereals of some sort for breakfast As welcome change from oatmeal and cracked wheat, many families will be glad to try comparatively new article, which is brought out under the name of farinose. It Is identical with the preparation known as wheatena, but is sold at price little more than half of that arti- cle. Both preparations are made at the same mills, and consumers of the one would not be able to dis tinguish between the two. It is very easily prepared, all that is re- quired being a little boiling water with salt into which the farinose Is stirred until of the proper consist ency. It boils in moment and is served with cream or milk. Some persons add little sugar, but this does not improve 1t for the majority of tastes. This farinose makes a most delicious gruel made thin with half milk and half water, or more somewhat thicker than regular gruel and diluted with little cream it is at once a most dainty and com forting dish for the sick, and will be relished when most other cereals would be rejected.
