The Pickles Were Omitted.

A lady who has the good fortune to
be a friend of DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes relates little anecdote of the
first time she asked favor of him as
an author. She had just completed a
book for children, and DR.. Holmes
kindly consented to read the manu-
script
When it was returned to her after
his perusal she naturally looked it over
with eagerness and anxiety, in haste
to see what criticisms or corrections
her distinguished friend had made. She
turned page after page, but found no
erasure, mark, nor marginal note, un-
til at length, nearly at the end of the
story, she came TO a single neatly
penciled line in DR.. Holmes fine hand
writing.
1t was placed against passage upon
which she had rather prided herself, a
vivid description of the picnic feast of
group of children in a grove.
First reading the paragraph to see if
she herself could find anything amiss,
she next read what he had written. 1t
was this:
"Don't let those children eat pickles." !"
Much relieved to find that it was the
doctor, not the author, to find fault
with her work, the lady at once drew
line through the offending viands,
and when the story of the picnic ap-
peared in print, pickles was omitted
from the bill of fare.-Y Yoattb'S Com

An Ancient Custom.

81 wonder how many people know
the origin OF the custom which de-
mands that when wine is served at a
dinner just dash of it shall first be
poured into the hosts glass?" re-
marked diner at Del's yesterday af-
ternoon. "One wouldn't think it in
these prosaic days, but it's a relic of
feudalism those much vaunted, good
old times when poisoning was fine
art and you took a last faremell of
your family when you went to dinner
with a friend whose politics didn't
agree with yours. A drop or two of
some deadly acid secreted in the con-
vivial wine cup was favorite method
of removing an obnoxious person, and
at state affairs every guest carried a
package of assorted antidotes in his
inside pocket, The proper way for a
dinner giver to allay suspicion among
those who gathered about his festal
board was to fill half of his own beaker
before those of his friends, and drink
it at once. His failure to drop in a tit
during the subsequent five minutes
was looked upon as practical guar
antee of good faith, and the company
proceeded to get drunk without fur
ther ado. And after centuries of pro-
gress this custom still exists. N Y

Stealthy.

An eastern traveller who has had
many and varied encounters with wild
animals in the heart of Africa, and has
walked through many jungles, says
that he concurs in the opinion COM
monty held by the natives of the coun-
tries he has visited that the leopard
is more dangerous than either the lion
or tiger. Its noiseless approach may
be imagined. he says, from an Incl
dent which occurred to him in Abys-
sinia
was Watching a pool by midnight,
during the dry season, he says. Hours
passed, but nothing larger than an
antelope appeared.
We were sitting beneath a large
tree, completely denuded of leaves,
and the moon shone brightly, throw
ing into sharp outline every bough.
Suddenly my wife pulled my sleeve
and directed my attention to a large
animal crouched upon the branches
directly above us.
| might have taken splendid shot,
but | at first imagined it to be dog
faced baDoon that had been asleep in
the tree. | stood erect to obtain q
clearer view, and at once the creature
sprung to the ground within few
feet of us and bounded into the Jungle
1t was leopard, which had proba-
bly, reached the tree by means of some
neighboring branch, and so noisely
that we had not discovered its pres
ence. The animal had evidently wind
ed US and was determined to recon-
noiter our position.

LEARNING A FOREIGN TONGUE.
A Monkey of One Tribe Acquires the
Language of Another

In the room where the monkeys are
kept by dealer in Washington there
is a cage containing young white-face
cebus of more than average intelli-
genee, writes Professor Garner in the
forum On the same shelf and in an ad-
jacent cage is the little capuehin Puck.
They can easily see and hear each 9th
er through the open partition which
separates them, there being no other
obstruction. I have visited Puck for
many weeks almost daily and always
supply him with food after requiring
him to ask me for it in his own Ian
guage. Having but little interest in
the white-face, who is very shy Of me,
| rarely showed him the slightest at
tention until within the past few
weeks, when l observed him trying to
utter the capuchin sound for food
which always secured for Puck a ban
ana or some nuts. Seeing that Puck
was always rewarded for uttering this
sound, the little white-face commenced
to try it, and as soon as | discovered
his purpose l began to reward him in
the same way, and have thus seen one
step taken by monkey in the mastery
of another tongue. At first his effort
was quite poor and l could not at once
decide what he meant, but practice has
developed in him great proficiency,
and now he speaks it almost as plainly
as the capuchin himself. This was
doubly interesting to me in view of the
fact that 1 had long believed that no
monkey ever acquired the sounds OF
another species. l frankly admit that
this one instance is alone sufficient
to cause me to recede from a con-
clusion rendered untenable by such
certain proof, the cogency of which is
emphasized by the short time in which
regard it as rule that monkeys do
not do SO.

To Shame the Fellow.

A very seedy, tramp-like character
was standing in front of downtown
saloon, says the St.Louis Post-Dispatch.
He,needed shave and haircut, to say
nothing of clothes, soap, and cash.
"Hey, dare" he called.
The reporter stopped to hear the
hard-luck story, when little bunch
of printers and pressmen came along,
steering straight for the saloon. They
all knew the seedy individual and call
ed him by name, but went in to drink
without asking him.
The seedy man said to the reporter:
"Say, stake me to nickel, will you?"
"What for?"
81 want to to go in dere and buy me
a beer, just to shame them felleas."
He got his nickel and went into the
saloon, with the remark: "If | had q
dime I'd asst ye to drink wild me-"

it in two pieces, what would those
pieces be called?" Halves" shouted
the class. Correct, and if I cut each
half in two pieces?" Quarters. :"
"That's right, and if the quarters are
each cut in half?" "Eighths." "Quite
so, and if those were chopped in two?"
"Sixteenths. very good, and when
the sixteenths were cut what were
those pieces called?" Here there was
some hesitation, but in moment two
boys said, "thirty-seconds." SJust right
just right" said the teacher, "and now
we will chop those in half. What have
we now?" Silence followed this ques-
ton, while the boys shifted uneasily
and the audience held its breath. "Do
none of you know?" asked the teacher.
"Come, I'm sure that some one can
tell me-" There was moments pause
and then hand was raised and the
smallest boy in the class piped out:
"Please, sir, | think i know" "Wen,
Johnnie, what?" "Hash," said the
youngster, and there was burst of
applause. Philddel21lai0 Record.

down in that blissful tete-a-tete of two
souls with but a single thought, two
hearts that beat as one, and silence
an inch thick settled on them like a
cotton batting comfortable. Jones
was about to reach for the evening
paper which lay within tantalizing
distance, when Mrs. Jones remarked:

who felt it coming.
"You are not very sociahle, Jeptha, p"
said his wife, Seems to me you might
make yourself agreeable at home some
times"

he was surreptitiously reading col
umn in the paper headed Domestic
Tragedy in Greenland"

storm was coming. As it is about the
time for the moon to get full 1 pre-
sumo you are right"
"What has the moon getting full, as
you call it, to do with storm?"
"There is no necessity of laying SO
much stress on the word full, Maria, u

his wife.

Reaching a Great Height with Kites

The actual height of kites above the
earth is difficult to measure, because
a5p object floating alone in the air looks
farther away than it really is. When
a kite is flying at height of 1900 feet,
it has reached about as high point as
is possible without the assistance of
other kites. Such kite will seem to
have reached an altitude of half a
mile; yet careful measurement of
the string and its steepness will show
that the kite is not over one third of a
mile above the ground. Ordinarily
the kite will 90 no higher even if more
string is let out, because the wind
presses against the great length of
string with increasing force as the
kite recedes and rises.
If more than one kite be used, re-
markable heights are attainable. The
kites can be fastened along a single
string but this method requires quick
ness in attaching the right amount of
tail to each kite; otherwise so much
time may be wasted in preparing the
successive kites for flight that the day
light will wane before the experiment
can be concluded. However, when
one kite is up and the amount of tail
for it is determined, it becomes possi-
bic, after long experience, to at once
estimate the amount of tail necessary
for each additional kite, according to
its siZe-St Nicholas
