Proud of Their States.

Have you ever noticed how people
from the different parts of the country
register" asked hotel man yesterday
Kentucky and Texas people, for in
stance, have popularity all their own.
They register simply from Kentucky or
Texas, as if it made no difference what
part of the state they are from, just SO
they go down on the register as Ken
tuckians or Texans. 1t looks little
peculiar, though, to see "A. B. Jones,
KY or *. Y. Smith, Texas but such
inscriptions are seen every day. Some
times Messrs. Smith and Jones, of Texas
and Kentucky, inscribe their county.
There is something aristocratic about
this; it conveys a sort of idea that Mr..
Jones, of Kentucky, is a legislator, or a,
least so well known in his county that a
letter address to him in his county would
be sent directly to his ancestral home
and that Mr.. Smith, of Texas, owns al
entire county, perhaps, and letter sem
to that county could not possibly go tx
any one else. kansas City Times

1t is frequently observed that some of
the most destructive and fearful agen-
cies Of nature are at the same time lavish
in their gifts for the benefit of man. A
volcano seems the very personifcation
Of the power of devastation, and yet ac-
cording to Investigations it seems prob
able that we may owe our possession OF
the gem that has in every age dazzled
the imagination more than any other,
the diamond, to the productive energy
Of volcanoes. Youths Companion.

The image of a reindeer once he drew

OF pity touch'd him. the sweet brotherhood

Humane, he loved; ingenious, understood.

Ghosts in India.

The dread of ghosts, so well known 10
all uncivilized and semiuncivilized coul-
tries, is common in the aborigines of
India to an unusual degree the same
may be said of their Aryan conquerors
and the lower classes of Mohammedans
All Indian ghosts are supposed to be
mischievous, and some of them bitterly
malicious. The only means employed
to appease the rancor of these unlaid
spirits is to build shrines for them and
to make them offerings, such as a fowl,
pig, and on grand occasions buffalo.
Any severe illness. and more especially
any epidemic disease, such as smallpox
or cholera, is attributed to the malig.
nancy of certain of these spirits, which
must be propitiated accordingly.-St.
Louis Republic.

Jne was pushing them aside and passing
through; then they closed as quietly as
they had opened.
THE unaccountable thing filed me
with terror, and | was about TO spring
forward and tear the curtains down
when | was again transfxed by fear
The ponderous oaken door which led
from our apartments into the public
hallway swung slowly on its hinges. as
if some one were going out. Then came
a faint sound. like woman signing
and the deor closed and latched itself
Nothing had been visible but the NOV
ing Of the curtains and the door. and
vet my soul was filed with nameless
horror that | dared not dwell upon
Rousing myself | leaped forward. and
tearing aside the portieres rushed to my
wifes bedside. There she lay, her eyes
closed and her pale face family illum-
ined by the light that followed me
through the doorway. seized her hand
and strove to awaken her. but she did
not move. In an agony Of terror. bent
my head and listened for the beating Of
her heart Then clasping the limp form
in my arms | pressed it to my bosom
and called aloud her name:

Meaning of "Snor-."

''Snore," to breath hoarsely in sleep
The word means more. Its root is in
the Teutonic ''snar,' which is the root
of ''snar," to growl. 1t also means to
grumble. 1t is an expression of disgust
An intimate acquaintance with Yankee
idioms takes hold ON the expression that
is put forward at an unsavory report.
"Well, snore!' which simply means
that the hearer is Disguised and says he
growls or snarls.
Another curious expression of that
peculiar people is Il snum!'-simply a
contraction of ''Im struck dumb" This
latter has no connection with the subject
in hand.
To snore, therefore, means much more
than to make discordant noises in sleep.

TO a BELLE.

Full well you know your beauty's power;
You count your lovers by the score.
Accept their homage fer an hour.
Then turn Indifferent as before.
Yet not unmoved your heart the while
You're seeking for worthy mate:
A handsome form. a radiant smile
Half tempt you from your maiden state.
|, looking on. with wonder see
How oft you notice and admire
These knights Of modern chiyalry-
Their gallant mieu. their youthful fire.
To me their gifts seem poor and slight,
Remembering Arthur's noble face,
His clustering hair. his gianccs bright.
His form reyleie with manly grace.
Ny thoughts with bitter memories burn.
| wish good fortune to your quest:
But howso'er your fate may turn
kaOa thGi you have missed the best.

The Best Time to Wind watch.

A dealer in watches of thirty years
experience says that he has known many
men who have tried to wind their
watches every morning instead of at
night, but he has never known one to
succeed. There are men who wind their
watches at a fixed hour every day, but
men in general are accustomed to wind
them just before going to bed, and they
seem unable to change that habit. New
